Speaker 1 (00:00):
The breakfast club. Bitches talk you today for Friday, February nineteenth,
goes to Senator of Texas Ted Cruise. Now, yesterday I
gave the biggest heat hall of Colorado City, Texas Mayor
Tim Boyd, or should I say x mayor because he
resigned after this because Tim Boyd wrote on Facebook that
(00:20):
no one owes you or your No, no one owes
you or your family anything, Nor is it the local
government's responsibility to support you during trying times like this
sacred swim. It's your choice the city in county, along
with power providers or any other service. Oh you're nothing.
I'm sick and tired of people looking for a damn handout.
(00:40):
That was the former mayor of Colorado City, Texas talking
to his constituents in Texas in regards to the deadly
and record breaking within the storm that has left bunch
of the state without power since Tuesday. Now, Tim Boyd said,
for anyone who doesn't have heat, are that what what? Being? Water?
In power? Tim Boyd said, only just ron will survive
(01:01):
and the week will perish. He said, if you have
no water, you deal without and think outside of the
box to survive and supply water to your family. Well,
you have folks like year old Kevin a Yala, his
wife and four year old son, who tried to think
outside the box to keep warm when when their electricity
went out. Kevin you the generator to keep warm, but
(01:22):
he bought the generator inside the kitchen, which caused the
house to fill with carbon monox side. They got sleepy
and passed out. Luckily, a friend stopped by and was
able to rush them to the hospital, so his wife
and son recovered, with Kevin sadly passed away. Now, Kevin,
tim clearly did what he had to do to survive.
Is he not strong because he didn't make it? Tim Boyd,
(01:42):
inquiring taxpaying citizens would like to know because when I
hear stories like that, those are true stories of folks
attempting to live. Those are true stories of folks fighting
the elements and doing what they had to do in
order to keep their families warm, and literally losing their
lives to do it. Will I tell you what J
Jenkins voice, They wouldn't have to risk their lives to
survive if they had elected officials who actually gave a
(02:04):
damn about the people they're supposed to represent. You got
this human jar Helmon's had asked Tim Boyd on Facebook,
telling folks to basically shut your pole asses up. As
I said yesterday, Tim Boyd might as well have quoted
juvenile ha. You know what it is, you make nothing
out of something. You handle your bills and don't be
crying and suffering. Okay, he might as well have said
that yesterday, as if it's as if it's not his
job to wipe those tears away up the people are crying,
(02:26):
as if it's not his job to lend a helping
hand when folks are suffering, as if it's not an
elected officials job to be there for the people he governs. Well,
maybe it's not. Maybe this social contract between government and
citizens doesn't really exist like I thought it did. Because
into Ted Cruise, he did what he had to do
to survive, Tim Boyd said, sinker swim, but Ted said
(02:48):
after that, sink swim or fly see. Ted Cruise was repeatedly,
repeatedly slammed other politicians for vacation and during a crisis,
decided to travel first class to change the forecast. Oh
he packed up his family and went to k and
Coon while millions and millions of folks in Texas were
freezing the ass off. Let's go to CBS News for
the report. Police Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas is
(03:10):
back in the US after facing criticism for flying to
Mexico while his state battles a brutal winter storm. These
photos went viral showing Senator Cruz and his family at
an airport Wednesday. Now, sources tell CBS News he was
originally scheduled to return Saturday. That changed his reservation this morning.
That's in contrast to his statement the senator released Thursday,
(03:33):
where he said he was quote wanting to be a
good dad and flew down with his daughters, who he says,
asked for the trips, and school was canceled. He also
said he was in constant communication with state and local leaders. Now,
Ted Cruise released a statement via Facebook, like tim boy,
did he put in all caps? Um? Let me read
(03:54):
this verbat him with Ted Cruz and he said, up
in the clouds, me and my spouse room was on
the ground too loud. We turned him down, down and
him myself think hashtag bitch don't kill my vibe. Wait, well,
hold on, I don't think that's the right Wait. Oh no,
that wasn't ted real statement. This is Ted real statement. Listen.
It certainly was not my intention for that to be
(04:16):
understood as as critics have tried to paint it as
as somehow diminishing the suffering and hardship other Texans had experienced.
He was obviously a mistake, and in hindsight, I wouldn't
have done it. I was trying to be a dad.
When you've got two girls who have been cold for
two days and haven't had heat or power, and they're saying, hey, look,
we don't have school, why don't we go let's get
(04:36):
out of here. I think there are a lot of
parents that'd be like, if I can do this great,
As I said, really, from the moment I sat on
the plane, I began really second guessing that decision and saying, look,
I know why we're doing this, but but I've also
got responsibilities and and and it had been my intention
to be able to work remotely, but I needed to
(04:58):
be here and and and that's why I came back. Now,
Ted Cruise could get Donkey and Donkey today for justice
move along. This move alone should cost him his seat
in Actually he should just resign now, Okay, just like
Tim Boyd did, but he won't. But another reason he's
getting the credit he deserves for being stupid is because,
as I said earlier, Ted Cruz has repeatedly slam politicians
(05:20):
for vacationing and doing other recreational things during crisis. Oh
this past de semble, Ted Cruz tweeted Austin me Steve
Adler and said, hypocrites completing other hypocrites and don't forget
Mayor Adler, and he added him who took a private
jet with eight people to Cobbo and while in Cobbo
recorded a video telling Austin Austin Knights in Austin, Texas
to stay home if you can. This is not the
(05:42):
time to relax. He literally tweeted that to Steve Adler
in December when Steve Adler went to Cabo and Ted
Cruise on Monday told folks in Texas to stay home
if they came to listen. The storm is dangerous, so
if you can stay home, don't go out on the roads,
don't risk the ice. I was speaking this weekend with
the meteorologist expert who was saying the combination of these
(06:03):
two storms we could see up to a hundred people
lose their lives this week in Texas, So don't risk it,
keep keep your family safe, and just stay home and
huw your kids. And the words of Ted Cruise hypocrites,
complete and utter hypocrites. Ted that if you can, must
have applied to you and your family as well, because
clearly you'll mix. You asked, couldn't And let's not talk
about all the times Ted Cruz attacked President Barack Obama
(06:26):
for playing golf and pool and other things. Okay, Ted
Cruise attacked Baracly attending a fundraison during a crisis at
the border in Texas and said the president has spent
too much time on the golf course. Listen the cynicism.
President Obama seems to know no bounds. He is in
Texas tonight. He's going to two major fundraisers where he
wants to be with wealthy Democratic donors. But apparently he
(06:48):
doesn't have time to actually go and see the border.
He doesn't have time to go see the children who
are suffering because of his failed policies. Earlier, he was
playing pool. Apparently playing a game of pool is a
higher priority for this president. You know, if only the
terrorists attacked the golf course that might actually get the
White House's attention. Holy cow, this is serious, then, Tech Cruiz,
(07:11):
practice what you preach or change your speech. In fact,
I have a better one. Since you don't practice what
you preach, give up your seat, I said, Since you
don't practice what you preach, give up your seat. Resigned
from the Senate immediately. You're not fit to lead. You
don't care about the people you're supposed to be governing.
Your lips in your life is preaching two different messages. Okay.
See Ralph Waldo Emerson has this quote I love, and
(07:31):
the quote is what you do speak so loud that
I cannot hear what you say. Those statements you gave
after coming back from Camcoon they felt all the way
on death is because the only thing that saddens you
about this situation is that you got caught. I guarantee
you that you feel worse about what's happening to you
(07:52):
right now then you do about what's happening to the
citizens of Texas impacted by this snowstorm. Do you know
yesterday the Miami Harold named Ted Cruise the worst Cuban
American in Congress. I'm not making this up. Google it.
The Miami herold yesterday labeled him the worst Cuban American
in Congress because of the fact that he left millions
(08:14):
of his constituents who are suffering through this devastating went
to storm that he left, that that he left them
while there was massive power outages and people without basic
needs like electricity and water. Okay, it's ten Cuban Americans
in Congress. I think it's about Tennis, about in Cuban
Americans in Congress. And they labeled Ted Cruise the worst one.
Ted Cruise, you let pit Bull down. Please let me
(08:40):
give Ted Cruise the biggest he ha he ha he ha.
He's stupid, mother, Are you dumb? Meanwhile, you see what
true leaders are doing like my man traded Truth and
Mr Rodgers in Relief Gang. They're on the ground providing aid.
You see what true leaders are doing, like beyond like
beyond that, you see what she's doing using her corporate
ties and make short Texas get relief. Let's talk about AOC.
(09:03):
AOC raised one million dollars for Texas relief and four
hours a ce drop one of clues bond for all
the real leaders. Okay, in our culture and in our community,
Cruise as I said, since you don't practice what you preach,
give up your seat. Resigned from the Senate immediately. You're
(09:27):
all right, well, thank you for that dunk kid today
and shout the trade the truth for Mr Rogers again.
I mean, every time something happens in Texas and Houston,
they are there there first, and to see every day
rescuing people, supplying food. I remember, um two years ago,
we uh, we got a big tractor trailer at eighteen
Wheeling and we pack it up with clothes, food, water,
all types of donations and we sent it down there.
(09:49):
They were kind of mad at us. Charlemagne. I don't
know if you remember, because you came. Actually, because we
didn't put the clothes and water and supplies and stuff neatly.
We kind of just threw it in the truck. Remember
did you give me all those tims. I'm not listening.
I'm not good at stuff like that. My wife, I'm
not an organizer. My wife, I am not the one.
(10:09):
They said. When the truck got there, they opened it
and everything just kind of just fell out. I'd said it, well,
it made it easy, man, hey, man, hey, all right man,
the thought that counts. Man, My heart was pure ask
you about the dons. I'm donating some money to relieve
gang today. Matter of fact, so sut the trade man
and uh Man Mr Roger well appreciate it. Now when
we come back. Today is the one year anniversary of
(10:32):
Pop Smokes passing. All right. Pop Smoke, of course passed
away a year ago today and this morning we're gonna
talk to his mom, Audrey Jackson and Brooklyn Borough President
Eric Adams will be joining in as well, So don't move.
