Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now I've been called a lot of my twenty three years,
like Donkey of the Day is a new wife. Yes,
Dunk here today for Thursday, February eighteenth goes to Texas
Mayor Tim Boyd. Tim Boyd is or should I say,
was the mayor of Colorado City. Before I tell you
what he did, let me tell you the backstory. We
all are in our own worlds here on this planet,
so some of us may not be familiar with what's

(00:22):
going on in Texas right now, but a deadly and
record breaking winter storm has left much of the state
without power. This week. I saw the good brother Trade
to True Shop on the clues bond Trade the truth.
I saw him post that people are sleeping in cars
and dying due to carbon monoxide poisoning, and Trade pointed
out something that is clearly ringing true because Trade said,

(00:42):
and I quote, the problem for us is the people
who in positions of power in Texas felt the money
was more important. How the f government and politicians allowed
us and allowed ar Coott to f us over. Arcott
is the Electric Reliability Council of Texas. By the way
they operate the electric state. From what I read, uh

(01:02):
now people in Texas have gone without powerful our food
for three days, says Trade. So really serious situation happening
in Texas, You know what I mean? Prayers for everybody
in Texas. Who do people turn to in times like this?
Who helps folks in situations like this? Because the Avengers
of fictional characters? So is it Justice League? I would
love for wand to create an alternate reality in Texas.

(01:25):
Right now they are not being hit with a winner storm.
But that's not reality. Okay, this isn't a Marvel Disney
Plus TV show. In times like this, the people that
are supposed to help are the elected officials, the public
servants we put into office to protect, provide, and serve
our communities. So we think. I literally said to you
uh in the six am ou and regarded the Joe

(01:46):
Biden not wanting to cancel student loan, that that I
don't care if it's Republican a Democrat. They don't care
about helping anyone except the rich and elite. Okay, that
always comes for us in this country. These corporations will
get bailouts, but the people will start. It never fails
in this situation in Texas is no different. Keep in
mind what I said about Texas. Okay, keep in mind
what Trade said about Texas. Deadly one. It's done. Traded

(02:08):
Truth said, el doesn't. Babies are dying from carbon monoxide
poisoning because they have to sleep in their cars. Folks
haven't eaten or had power in three days, says Traded Truth.
And the mayor of Colorado City, Texas, Tim boy the
mayor had this to say. Let's go to KRBC NBC
nine for the report police. The strong will survive and
the week will perish. Harsh words from Colorado City Mayor

(02:31):
Tim Boyd as residents continue to fight the cold. Mitchell
County Judge Mark Merrill says the area has been struggling
to keep water and some electricity on since Monday, and
as many in the county look for help, Colorado City's
mayor says, don't look to him, quoting it's not the
local government's responsibility to support you during trying times like this.

(02:53):
Sink or swim, it's your choice. Colorado City's mayor has designed,
but others say the city is still working to step
up and keep residents warm during the storm. I'm gonna
be honest with you, that news report didn't uh you
know do it didn't give what Tim Boyd wrote any
real justice, Like they really watered what he said down.

(03:14):
Let me read it for you. Okay, this is Tim
Boyd verbatim. Raw. I'm not putting no sauce on this.
I will read you Tim Boyd's old statement in full.
Let me hurt some feelings while I have a minute.
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 is your choice. The city

(03:37):
and county, along with power providers or any other service,
owes you nothing. In capital letters. I'm sick and tired
of people looking for a damn handout with the exclamation marks.
If you don't have electricity, you step up and come
up with a game plan to keep your family warm
and safe. If you have no water, you deal without
and think outside of the box to survive and so

(04:00):
lye water to your family. If you are sitting at
home in the code because you have no power and
are sitting there waiting for someone to come rescue you
because you're lazy, it's a direct result of you're raising
Only the strong will survive and the weak will perish folks.
God has given us the two to support ourselves in
times like this. This is sadly a product of a

(04:21):
socialist government where they feed people to believe that the
few will work and others will become dependent for handouts.
Am I sorry that you have been dealing without electricity
and water? Yes? I can't tell, Tim, but I'll be
damned if I'm gonna provide for anyone that is capable
of doing it themselves. We have lost sight of those
in need and those that take advantage of the system
and mess them in the one group. Bottom line, Quit

(04:43):
crying and looking for a handout, Get off your ass
and take care of your own family. End quote, Tim Boyd,
I need you to shut the f up forever, all right.
These are the folks who are who are in leadership
positions in America. How can you say power providers are
any other service owes the people nothing? Of course they do.
They owe the people power and good service. That's what

(05:06):
they pay for every month. You know what happens if
a regular, everyday citizen tells the power company, I owe
you nothing, the power company will say, oh word, and
they will cut off that person's power. See the reason
this mayor thinks the power company doesn't owe the people anything,
is because he knows the people need the power companies
more than the companies need the people to people have
no choice but to have power. And the man owes this,

(05:27):
and that's why he's flexing on his constituents in this manner.
The mayor said, he's sick and tired of people looking
for a handout. Sir, this weather storm, this this winter storm,
is an act of God. Folks are in distress. They
need help. If my house is on fire and I
called a fire department to come put it out, that's
not me asking for a handout. That's me, as a
taxpaying citizen, utilizing resources that I help pay for. For

(05:50):
you to tell those residents in Texas, if you don't
have electricity, you don't have water, to come up with
a different game plan to keep your family warm and safe,
to think outside of the box to survive, Tim Boyd,
tell me your plan. I bet you got water, I
bet you got electricity, I bet you got food. Meanwhile,
you're on Facebook talking down on the people you're supposed

(06:10):
to be serving, sounding like you're quoting the hook of
huh by juvenile. You told the residents of Texas. You
know what it is. You make nothing out of something.
You handle your buss and don't be crying and suffering
if you don't get your human jaring helmet's head ass
up out of here. I hate when people chastise folks
for problems that the people they chastis and didn't create.
You called these people lazy, as if they created this snowstorm,

(06:33):
as if they put themselves in need positions. You blame
their present condition on the way they were raised. Okay,
you might be right, because a lot of these people
weren't born privileged. Okay, they were. They were raised in
the poverty, alright, grew up, they were raised pouring disenfranchise okay,
and because of socio economic conditions of this country, they
just simply haven't been able to rise because a good

(06:55):
old boys like Tim Boyd systemically keeping their foot on folks.
Next does the American way, ladies and gentlemen. Okay, the
American way systemically a press and marginalized folks. And then
when the most vulnerable vulnerable among us is exposed by
situations like this, situations that are out of their control,
the people in positions of power of victim blame instead
of taking accountability what you and your piss poor administration,

(07:17):
Tim Boyd is clearly not doing now. Of course the
post was deleted. Tim received back last, so he gave
us the mandatory fake apology after things like this happened.
Let me read it, uh, I would never want to
hurt the elderly or anyone that is in true need
to help, to be left to fend for themselves. I
was only making a statement that those folks that are

(07:38):
too lazy to get up and find it for themselves,
but are capable, should not be dealt hand out. I
apologize for the wording and some of the phrases that
were used. Once again, Tim, shut the f up forever.
It's an act of God. You do realize that an
act of God can bring anyone to their knees Rich
Paul black White. It doesn't matter, Tim, you in your

(08:00):
family to be in that position one day, just like
that snap of thing, no stump, okay, earthquakes, her Queen's blizzards.
They don't give a damn about your financial status. They
will take your home right out. And then what we're
gonna tell you to get it? How you live? Just
like you did those families in their time of need.
Now Tim Boyd has resigned, which I'm shocked about. Usually

(08:23):
the privilege to lead us among us just say the
hell with y'all. I said what I said, but he
resigned and his wife got fired for his comments. See
knowing when to open your mouth and when to keep
it shut is valuable wisdom. Tim, You should have kept
to live on the man AIG's jaw a k a
your mouth. All right, Please let Chelsea handle Give Tim
Boyd the biggest he hare he haw he haw. That

(08:46):
is way too much. Dan man is donkey. To day
is brought to you by the law office of Michael s.
Lammons Off. Don't be a donkey. Dive pound two fifty
on yourself and say the bull. If you've been hurting
a construction accident, that's pound two five old from yourself
out and say the bull.
