My Thoughts On Caitlin Clark, Cori Bush & Michael Brown.

Episode Transcript

(00:01):
Time to bury the tired narrative,tire narrative, and uncover these stories not
typically heard, but stories that needto be heard, right or wrong,
life or death. This isn't yourtypical law show. This is Big Angry

(00:21):
Law with Charles Big Angry Adams onKPRC now now Charles Adams, Good Evening,
Ladies, gentlemen, Charles Adams,Big Angry Radio nine fifty am KPRC,
Real, Texas, Real Talk.Last night, I spent the majority

(00:45):
of the show talking about Harrison Butkerand his commencement, to the chagrin of
some listeners who apparently believe that tellingyoung ladies to focus on their vocation of

(01:06):
maternity and service to their husband wasa bit misogynist. Clinging to that notion,
I think there were some good thingsand bad things and what I perceived
as an incredibly reductionist version or viewpointof trad life conservatism, but not to

(01:30):
suggest that everything he said was wrong, or to suggest that women that are
wanting to stay home and raise theirchildren should not have the opportunity. I
don't want to dive back into that, but I want to talk about the
flip side of it, which isJamel Hill Jamel used to be the ESPN

(01:56):
voice of the moment who was neverembraced by the aut instant. In fact,
she led the charge of attacking thetraditional audience of ESPN, driving them
away from the network with her constantpolitical tirades and criticism of white people.

(02:20):
She is now a new age racistwriter for The Atlantic and sat down for
an interview with The La Times andit was focused on Caitlin Clark. He's
a wonderful quote. We would allbe very naive if we didn't say race
and her sexuality played a role inher popularity. Well, so many people

(02:42):
are happy for Caitlyn's success, includingthe players. This has had such an
enormous impact on the game. Thereis a part of it that is a
little problematic because of what it saysabout the worth and the marketability of the
players who are already there. Continuedas expected, there's play of for room

(03:04):
to highlight and celebrate Caitlin Clark's popularitywhile also discussing ways in which to not
erase black women from a league thatthey have built and continue to build.
The La Times article times The LaTimes Article didn't stop there and interviewed someone
named Nicole Melton. I have noidea who she is, but she was

(03:25):
identified as a co director for theLaboratory for Inclusion and Diversity in Sport at
the University of Massachusetts. She wascalled u saying Caitlin fits a very comfortable
narrative for a lot of people inthe United States. She comes from the

(03:45):
heartland, she's an amazing talent.She's also a white, straight woman.
Right, there's not a lot ofthings that would make people feel uncomfortable with
that person being successful. And thenit went to regurgitate the center for the
Las Vegas Aces an African American womannamed Aha Wilson. So I think it's

(04:10):
a huge thing. I think alot of people may say it's not about
black and white, but to me, it is. It really is,
because you can be a top notchyou can be top notch at what you
are as a black woman. Butyet maybe that's something that people don't want
to see. So the argument fromthese three women is that comfortable safe in

(04:30):
love with penis not vagina. CaitlinClark is problematic. What I think is
problematic is the fact that Caitlyn isbeing reduced to a white heterosexual woman because
she is a white heterosexual woman.But the truth is, Caitlyn's name is

(04:58):
in the mouth of so many peoplein America because she's a white heterosexual woman.
Instead, it is in her mouthbecause or in America's mouth, because
she broke a slew of records andwas an exciting, dynamic person to watch
play basketball. And when she playedin the finals, it was one of

(05:26):
the most watched events of the year, far more watched than NBA playoff games,
which of course is unusual because noone watches women's basketball on the professional

(05:49):
level. And when she got draftedand broke all kind of sales records for
her jersey, Nike came in andpaid her a pile of money because she
was incredibly marketable. Now you cansay, oh, that's just because she

(06:11):
was a white woman. We livein a country that has been excited about
black athletes for decades. We livein a country where Lebron and Michael Jordan

(06:31):
are both billionaires with legion of whitefans. Lebron, except when he demonized
a cop who was saving the lifeof a young black girl by shooting the
black girl that with teen that wastrying to murder her with a knife.

(06:54):
Actively beyond that, Lebron has beenan incredibly safe and comfortable basketball star.
Michael wasn't. Kobe wasn't, buthe was. No one ever called him
safe, And I had nothing todo with his skin color. He's just

(07:18):
a goober and the only reason peopleare talking about Caitlin and such. You
know, some of it directly negative. Some of it, you know,
a backhandedly negative, like Jammel theracist Hill only because of one thing.
She's white. The former comet starwhose record she broke, whose collegiate record

(07:44):
she broke, his an all timescore, did a press tour where she
lied about Caitlyn. Why instead ofbecause she's white, all of this demonization
is because of her skin color.Me back just one moment. Big can't
Green Water with trolls. Adams onkep r C. Ninety fifteen. My

(08:09):
first love was with Get Twist Rope. I hit the man in my mark
ats sit up ten years old.I never saw the rain boo much less
pot of gold. Yeah, myfirst loves Wicked twist Through. My first

(08:33):
love was Castling Sky. Never foughtI make it till I had the guts
to try to. They're sat upin my tower wid Fo. The world
passed by in My First Loves Castleand the scatter My First Love's Fearless Drive

(09:18):
ring a Fearless Driving rain skit didby the but I'd never see her face.
Leasi got his crying, so Iguess he felt my fa My first
Love was a fearless drive, allright. I think we can all agree
that listening to reckless Kelly would befar more entertaining than listening to me talk

(09:41):
about some stories of the day.But you get what you get. You
know, we went to break We'retalking about the tirade of backhanded, bigoted
hate being directed at Caitlyn Clark recentlyin the LA Times, who basically built
an article around explaining why her fameis problematic and it's unfair that she got

(10:07):
a thirty million dollar deal from Nike, ignoring the fact that she is insanely
popular, equally annoying the fact thatNike has put literally billions of dollars in
the pockets of black athletes over themid last few decades. And it's just

(10:28):
it's insane and what's problematic. Andwe talked about Harrison botzkirt last night and
then my issues with his speech,which I think I'm one hundred percent accurate
on and those that are taking thisvery superficial analysis are absolutely wrong. And
that is not to say encouraging womento have relationships with men that stick around

(10:48):
and encouraging men to stick around andwomen and being allowed to stay home and
raise their children isn't the optimal outcomefor children, but there's no duty or
obligation to do so, primarily becausemen don't seem to feel a duty our
obligation in twenty twenty four America tohang around and raise their kids. So
let's stop being naive in including almostevery fellow NFL player where the divorce rate

(11:18):
is inordinate, the broken home rateis extreme, father's not being involved,
the numbers are insane, and it'snot as people as he likes to posture.
But I don't want to again,I don't want to rehash that.
So Caitlin gets this huge problematic Nikedeal according to diversity, equity inclusion people

(11:41):
in the bigot Jamail Hill. Nowwhat I find more problematic is because Harrison
Butker took this very traditional conservative,you know, old school Catholic positioning that
despite being the greatest kicker, akicker that is so good, he changes

(12:01):
the outcomes of games regularly, possiblythe next Goat or the new goat.
He needs a little time, buthim voicing conservative values means he's going to
be very hard pressed to get atraditional big deal, despite his jersey also
breaking records and sales after his speech. And that's problematic, right, It's

(12:26):
problematic that we live in America thatif you want to emerge, every time
I sit down to do this radioshow, I am most certainly limiting my
opportunities in my far more lucrative andfar more consumed television career. Why well,

(12:48):
just cousin, I've talked about onthe pass, I've cost myself legal
clients because I am unwilling to bedecided. I'm not ever going to get
sending here. I've just not gotat pander to y'all. I don't care
that much about anyone else's opinion.I care about having a platform for me
to say what I actually think,which is not what you're really getting in

(13:11):
talk radio. Typically you're getting whatpeople think you want to think, so
it can be affirmed. But let'sstay and we'll probably get to Trump's trial
today. There're other big news,but I want to stay on the New
Age of Racism Front and I wantto play a clip from Congressoman Corey Bush
honoring the life of Michael Brown onthe anniversary of his death. Let's listen

(13:37):
eight years old. The last birthdayhe celebrated and will ever get to celebrate
was his eighteenth. Just eighty onedays after his eighteenth birthday, a Ferguson
police officer killed him. In ajust world, Mike Brown would be with
his loved ones right now, celebratinganother year, dreaming of his future as

(14:01):
he blows out the candles on hisbirthday cake. But instead we are only
left with the memories of who hewas. Michael Brown's life was taken.
It was taken from his mom,his dad, his friends, his siblings,
his classmates, and from every personwho knew and loved him. They
were all left to live through thetrauma police violence leaves in its wake.

(14:26):
They were forced to go to school, to go to work, go get
groceries, and live their lives afterknowing someone they loved was killed, and
they were forced to deal with themental health effects of it on their own.
Police killings of unarmed black people areresponsible for more than fifty million additional

(14:46):
days of poor mental health days peryear. It's devastating our communities, and
it must be addressed that owner presspaused by the fifty million poor mental health.
But we'll get to Michael Brown,trust me, and we're going to
finish Congressman Bush's little foe sermon onMichael Brown. Right, But how many

(15:16):
mental health days exists in America?How many lives have been ruined in America
because of violent crime? And asI try to beat in that, you
know, murders, aggravated robberies,aggravated car theft, you know, carjackings,

(15:45):
aggravated kidnappings, all overwhelmingly are committedby African American male violent criminals.
And I always want to make thepoint that anyone that generally blamed Black men
for the acts of the individual blackmales, criminal, violent criminal black males,
that's that's absolute racism, and itis a self perpetuating racism that then

(16:14):
you know, encourages, and itputs people in a box, and it's
it's insane, it's awful, butit's not to blame for the violence.
And in law abiding rule following,black men suffer are victimized more than anyone.
Right. But also you can't discount, and we built into this America

(16:34):
where we are pretending that that smallsubset that is still a very giantly outside
subset in that demographic group, isn'tsomehow individually responsible for their behavior because they
are, as individuals the ones thatdo it. If you're if you are,

(16:56):
you are far more likely to bemurdered by someone. If you're murdered
by someone that you don't share arace and a home with, it is
exponentially more likely to be a blackman. Police there are three hundred and
fifty times more likely to be killedby a black man than they are to
kill an unarmed black man. Noone talks about this. In fact,

(17:22):
if an academic writes about this,he is ostracized, canceled within the academic
community. It has happened time andtime again, and we are being force
fed this new narrative of nonsense thatpeople like Michael Brown are heroes that deserve
statues and to be deified. Whenwe get back, I want to finish

(17:48):
her clip. I want to talkabout the bill she's sponsored. I want
to talk about what a dishonest pigof a woman she is, and want
to monster Michael Brown was, whowas the one responsible for his day.
Big angry law with Charles Adams continues. The first man that you had loved

(18:23):
left Joe Mama, never saing abouthim. Then you raised with your head
held hat got any fool can seeit's just the clitter this guys. You
know about his daddy. You knowabout the time you'll know about his girl.

(18:51):
You guys been a little scared too, and go honing. You never
anybody take it to your farm.You never on his sack. She asked
for nobody's fast. I thought nobody'sgirl from Reckless Clai Kelly, Why why

(19:32):
I picked the night would be apropostalking about the damage of daddy's leaving,
which the song is about, alifetime impact it has on the girl who
is the object of his infection,sorry, his affection, not infection.
She probably has some of those too, thereszy to disaster. So the second

(19:56):
one long after, did you wrecking? How anyway? Okay, let's get
back. We've been We're talking aboutCorey Bush and we were listening to a
clip of her lament of the deathof Michael Brown. Michael Brown, we'll
get to it is an awful monsterwho was killed by a Ferguson police officer,

(20:22):
and did turn out that Ferguson wasa police department built largely on bigotry,
right, an almost all white departmentthat wrote an incredibly outsized number of
traffic citations and was basically that we'realmost all directed at African Americans, who,
in fairness, committed an incredible outsizednumber of traffic infractions when you talk

(20:45):
about things like driving without insurance,not registering your vehicle, that kind of
stuff that is usually tied to poverty. But again, it was a incredibly
regressive department that was basically taxing thepoor. But again that had nothing to

(21:07):
do with this incident and the absurdityof the state and law enforcements standing down
while rioters just destroyed that municipality,private businesses, people's lives right because of
the new bigotry of the age andits intersection with the old bigotry. But

(21:30):
the falsity, the false narratives thatpeople's listened to, Miss Bush, this
congressman from Missouri, why in MikeBrown's honor, alongside Mike's mother, Leslie
mcspadden, I am reintroducing the HelpingFamilies Heal Act, also known as the
Mike Brown Bill. This legislation willprovide crucial mental health support for victims,

(21:55):
families, and communities harmed by policeviolence. It would fund these resources and
bolster counseling in our schools. It'sbeen nearly ten years since the Ferguson Uprising,
ten years since our movement for justicebirth and affirmative vision of community safety
that focuses on saving lives instead ofdestroying them. That's why, in addition

(22:17):
to helping families heal, we're workingto pass My People's Response Act, which
would advance an evidence based public healthapproach to safety and so many other life
saving policies. Almost a decade haspassed since we lost Mike Brown, but
we're still on the front lines ofthe movement to save black lives, and
that's where we will remain until nomore lives are taken by police violence and

(22:42):
our children can celebrate each and everyone of their birthdays. Okay, now,
I think to the end she waswishing, well, let's listen.
I think she's wishing the birthday MikeBrown, rest in power, once in
the resting power, honoring in Happybirthday to him. Let's talk about Michael

(23:03):
Brown on the day of Michael Brown'sdeath. What was he doing? Was
it just an evil police officer whofound him and was attacking him. No,
Michael Brown had committed a strong armrobbery, a robbery without a gun,
violence directed at a small, petiteAsian man and petite, small Asian

(23:26):
guy shopkeeper cashier, and then waswalking in the middle of the street blocking
the road where he engaged with anofficer with Ferguson who you know was just
initially telling him to get out ofthe road. And what happened, well,

(23:57):
there was some dispute. There weresome dishonest eyewitnesses who were then called
on the dishonesty by other eyewitnesses,also people of color, all the witnesses.
Now, there should be body cameras, should be camera, they should
be engagement should be recorded. I'vebeen an advocate of that, not recently,

(24:21):
I mean I still am an advocate, but I have been for decades.
I used to wear a recording devicein the shockplate of my vest after
I was lied on, and I'vecontinually advocated it. You while I was
sitting on the board of the PoliceFoundation, while I was a police officer.
You know that. You know againyou've heard me say it here.
Cameras protect the truth. They protectthe truth for good officers, They protect

(24:47):
the truth for good citizens. MichaelBrown was not a good citizen. It
was undisputed that he attacked the officer. It's undisputed that after the witnesses that
were playing Meg Believe for attention wereratted out or confessed that he was trying

(25:08):
to take the officer's weapon. Soundisputed that in the immediate after death,
there was a litany of powerful politicalvoices demanding that the officer would be prosecuted
for murder. Right, most ofthat has fallen off because everyone realized what
a horrible, monstrous human being MichaelBrown was. The type of person to

(25:37):
punch a cop in the face forno reason, the type of person to
attack an aged shopkeeper because he wasn'tbeing allowed to shoplift, the kind of
person that was constantly looking to exerciseviolence against people he perceived as weak.

(25:57):
The kind of person who parent whois being honored today by Cory Bush,
did a really, really bad jobraising and despite this reality, Michael Brown's
family got a million and a halfdollars for raising and unleashing a monster onto

(26:22):
this world. And now Corey Bushis talking about spending untold millions of dollars
demonizing law enforcement. You know whatcauses more tough mental health days for law
abiding, participatory black Americans than thepolice. Despite the brainwashing of the mainstream

(26:45):
media and leftist politicians, Black violentcriminals, black rule following upstanding American citizens
suffer the most from that violence,and they're being a bad didn't buy law
enforcement at the behest of monsters likeCorey Bush. I was talking about Lena

(27:07):
Hidalgo on TV today in her spatwith our mayor. You're in Houston.
That's the county judge versus the mayor, both the executives, one for the
county, one for the city,and quite else. Thought I was only
criticizing Lena Hidalgo because she's a womanof color in power. Now. I
criticized Lena just like I criticized Trumpwhen he was in office and Biden now

(27:32):
because I find her to be incrediblycorrupt and dishonest period. I criticize Corey
Bush for the same reasons. She'sa prosperity doctrine nonsense peddler, race grifter

(27:56):
who is selling a lie about thenobility of a monster and well illegal police
violence, police violence directed at peoplethat did not have it coming, which
has happened a great number of timesin America. But the converse happens far

(28:21):
more often, and there are agreat number of times where police violence is
absolutely necessary because absent police officers steppingin people are dying. And that's what
made Uvalde so horrible, the Elementary'sbroad elementary school massacre here in Texas.

(28:45):
It is because those police officers arepaid. That's their whole damn job.
That moment was what they trained fortheir whole careers, and why they got
paid an incredible amount of money tonot do a lot of work because in
that moment, those cowards were supposedto act. We're going to need back
to talk more. In just onedig angry war with trolls, Adams continues

(29:07):
Hill. Then let's go the hotelcowboys shoe. We'll drinking dances, no
place else to go. We'll stayout on that long. We'll toast the
break down. He'll let let's goto the bottel cawboys shoe. Winter were

(29:34):
the same old clothes, the trail, little motel cappi bullsh We'll f in.
You're gonna need to cool the insideit ride, I shouldst jewel something

(29:59):
true sound show quote, come myshow again. I think we would all
rather listen to reckless Kelly than me. But here we are. This is

(30:22):
what we get. Charles Adams,begining radio nine fifty am KPRC nine fifty
am, Real Texas, Real Talk. I said nine to fifty am far
too many times. But I'm nota professional. I am as. Years
ago, a salesman at iHeart referredto me as a hobbyist. It's probably

(30:44):
because he's five foot four and alittle goober, but not to my face.
Right, it just is his excusefor not selling the show. But
anyhow, let's get back to thetopic at hand and not talk about short
your dumb salesman. We are talkingabout Corey Bush and Michael Brown and the

(31:07):
new racism of the moment and thegrand lae that were constantly being sold about
the realities of crime, in therealities of consequence of crime on American society,
an incredibly low trust society, thatwe are being forced fed the notion
that police are the problem, andthat there was an incredible I want to

(31:30):
play this clip. You said whitesare the most violent and oppressive people.
Well, Yeah, that's what yousaid in your film. And if you're
going to go so that would seemto me that statistics point that out too.
Really well, the Chinese were massacringChinese and other races long before.
They'd never met a white person untiloughthe hung wasn't white. It's the same

(31:53):
in the subcontinent if you go backhundreds of years as well. The genocide
in Rwanda was black on black.So is the Congo, which is the
rape capital of the world. Whenit comes to education, this the whole
system needs to change. But don'tyou let me look at education. Let's
look at the figures on education.Thirty three percent of white kids go to

(32:15):
university of further education. Kingdom numbersuniversity of further education, sixty seven percent
of Indian kids go to university offurther education. Seventy six percent of Chinese
kids go to university of further education. Right, there is the prevailing academic

(32:36):
and media narrative of the last afew decades that's reached its crescendo as of
recently that it is a white predispositionto oppression and violence, and it is,
I mean, if you look atthe murder rates in America now,

(32:59):
right, and in twenty twenty two, it is, you know, per
one hundred thousand, it's thirty aboutthirty one ish for African Americans or or
blacks African Americans just black seven oreight nine ish for if you're looking at

(33:22):
the last few years for people identifiedas Latino or Indigenous, just a little
bit north of three per one hundredthousand for whites, and just a little
bit under two for Asians. Soyou know, a African American is roughly
about ten times more likely to commitmurder than a white person in these United

(33:45):
States. Now, let's qualify,that's clarify. I don't want to embolden
the racist whites, right, that'sstill such an incredible small fraction of Black
Americans that to take that and extrapolateit to all black people is just stupid
racism. But the flip side,like this woman, this filmmaker, who

(34:08):
was so forcefully arguing for the evilof the white existence, right, which
is just an accepted norm now,right, people will go to their diversity,
equity, and inclusion. Jasmine Crockettwas not elected because of de Jasmine
Crockett was elected because she is apolitician that sells and she sells some bs
like all politicians us know, CoryBush. Right, you can't lump anybody

(34:30):
with someone else just because they sharea skin color, right, And it's
not DEI. There's plenty of itin academic settings, there is plenty of
it in the corporate world thanks toblack rock, but it is most certainly
not in public elections. Right.But the truth is that you can't blame

(34:54):
anyone but the individual criminal. Andeven though there are far higher rates for
black violent criminals, there's still anincredibly small percentage of the black population.
And the people that suffer the mostfrom it are black people. And more
importantly, the people are suffering fromthe most from this new paradigm of non

(35:14):
policing masquerading as policing because of idiotslike Corey Bush are in fact black law
abiding participatory victims. Now what wehave to It's like slavery. Slavery was
an awful institution, and when itmade it so even more glaring that was
existing in a country that was builtupon the concept of individual liberties. Right,

(35:36):
So you had these white men talkingabout the essential nature of freedom for
the human existence and how it isa right that transcends the laws of the
land while also treating other human beingsbecause of their complexion, right, Chatnel,

(36:00):
that's horrible evil. But the onlyplace slavery openly exists and is lawful
now in this world Africa and theMiddle East, in Asia. The Western
world eliminated it. And yet ifyou read any if you know a thousand

(36:22):
years in the future, you readacademic publications, you would think the West,
well, well, the West wasthe center of all evil. Now
I don't understand it because where doesall the migration in the world go.
It goes from Africa, the MiddleEast, in Asia to the white dominated

(36:45):
Western world. And you're seeing partsof Europe where they are trying to shift
the West for sentence there, likein London, they're bending the knee to
radical Shia death cult nonsense. Andthat's not to suggest all Muslims or even
the majority of them, subscribe tothis death cult nonsense of Iranians. And

(37:08):
how on earth and how on earthis our State Department, How on earth
is the Senate eulogizing the death ofthe butcher of Tehran. Thank God,
whatever God you subscribe to, thatthat monster is dead, that monster that
would have his morality. Police rapeand murder his sixteen year old female protesters.

(37:31):
It's insane. It would be likeafter World War Two America eulogizing the
death of Hitler. What is wrongwith the Democratic Party? I mean absolutely,
when did it go completely off therails? But Corey Bush pretending that

(37:55):
Michael Brown was anything other than aviolent monster that ought that bullet on himself
is the incredible dishonesty of the day. The filmmaker pretending and I had her
name, I forgot it. Thefilmmaker pretending that that white people somehow have
a monopoly on evil or even areoverrepresented in it is the nonsense narrative of

(38:17):
the day. And I know wedidn't get to Trump's trial. We will
tomorrow. There's a New York postop ed written by my former professor I
on DRSHWOODZ. I think it's veryimportant. It was issue today. You
should greet it it. You knowmy issue with Trump's trial. If Trump
was doing this to a Democrat,I would be decrying it. Period.

(38:38):
This prosecution, pushed by the Bidenadministration has been evil. They'll probably get
their conviction. It is the greatestthreat to American democracy. It is the
threat that democrats claim that Donald Trumpis. But anyway, we'll talk about
that tomorrow. I'm sorry I gotsidetracked. I'm just irritated by this new
bigotry of the day. Thank youfor listening. Good Night,
