Speaker 2 (00:04):
You are a don't you? It's time for don't kiss
a day. Donkey of Today does not discriminated. I might
not have the song of today, but I got the
donkey day time. So if you ever feel I need
to be a donkey man TV with.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
The Hut's the Breakfast Club, bitches, please don't give today today.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Donk hey today.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
For Monday, December fourth goes the Oscar nominated actress Felicity Huffman. Now,
unless you've been fasting from social media for the last
few years, and you may not know that Felicity Huffins
served some time in prison, had completed court ordered community
service because she broke the law. Okay, she pleaded guilty
in twenty nineteen the conspiracy to commit mail fraud and
honest Services mail fraud.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
I don't even know what that is, and she.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Served eleven days of a fourteen day prison sentence and
was ordered to do two hundred and fifty hours of
community service and pay a fine. All because she tried
to take a shortcut. And she quickly learned, like most
of us learn in life, that there are are no shortcuts.
If you take shortcuts, you can get cut short. Can
we flash back to what happened? What caused Felicity to
end up in prison? Let's go to ABC News for

(01:08):
the report.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Please.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
Actress Felicity Huffman walking out of court today but not
free of prison. The celebrity brushing past cameras with husband
and actor William H. Macy moments after she was sentenced
to fourteen days behind bars in front of the judge.
The prosecutor said most parents have the moral compass and
integrity not to step over the line. The defendant does not.

(01:32):
After noting Huffman's fame and wealth several times, the prosecutor
said emphatically, there's no paparazzi in prison. Prison is the
great equalizer. She must go to prison. After pleading guilty
to fraud charges in May, Huffman admitted to paying fifteen
thousand dollars to have her daughter's SAT scores rigged. The

(01:52):
judge noting she apologized and accepted guilt early, then the
sentence fourteen days in prison, thirty thousand dollars fine, one
year supervised release, and two hundred and fifty hours of
community service.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
She paid fifteen thousand dollars to have someone falsified the
results of her daughter's essay T score.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
You know what?

Speaker 3 (02:13):
I wonder about this, and I probably could find the
answer if I can enough to look. Her daughter didn't know, right,
so I'm sure her daughter studied and prepared for the
SAT test. What if her daughter would have passed on
her own merit was the falsifying of the results just
in case she failed. What lack of faith did she
have in her daughter that she already knew. Let me

(02:33):
go ahead and pay for her to pass because I
know she not too bright. Okay, I've been watching her
since she got here. I know she's stupid, all right.
My daughter going to live in the basement for the
rest of her life. If I will do something, she
might have to join the circus or run for Congress,
same difference. Either way, she ends up being a clown
as a child. I would have all these questions for
my mother if she did this to me. I appreciate

(02:54):
you going above and beyond, Mom, you know, actually committing
a crime for me to get ahead, But damn you
don't got no faith in my intelligence in my own
abilities to pass?

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Is that they te test now?

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Felicity Huffman recently sat what Eyewitness News to speak for
the first time about her participation in this candle and
why she did it.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Let's go to ABC News for the report. Police.

Speaker 5 (03:15):
When he slowly started to present the criminal scheme, it
seemed like, and I know this seems crazy at the time,
that that was my only option to give my daughter
a future. And I know hindsight is twenty twenty, but
it felt like I would be a bad mother if
I didn't do it.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
So I did it. Months later, the FBI was at
her door.

Speaker 5 (03:39):
They came into my home. They woke my daughters up
at gunpoint, again nothing new to the black and brown community.
Then they put my hands behind my back and hand
We got to me and I asked if I could
get dressed, and I thought.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
It was a hoax.

Speaker 5 (03:58):
I literally turned to the one of the FBI people
in a flap jacket and a gun, and I went,
is this a Is this a joke?

Speaker 3 (04:05):
I felt like this was the only option to give
my daughter a future. Felicity Huffman's net worth is forty
five million dollars.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
Now.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
I am an.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Habitual pocket watcher, Okay, I like to know how much
money people are making and I like to know how
they're making it. As soon as I heard her make
these comments about this was the only option to give
my daughter a future, I googled her net worth because
I needed to know why, on God's green earth, which
she feels like her daughter doesn't have a chance at
a future, this young woman of privilege will have every

(04:36):
single advantage that is provided to a multimillionaire's daughter, especially
a multimillionaire who also has the complexion for the protection
and connection.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Now, listen to me.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
She is taking penitentiary chances for her daughter because she
says she wants to give her daughter a.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Chance, you know, to have a future.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
If an actress worth forty five million dollars is thinking
like that, how the hell do you not understand what
people in the hood are going through. Okay, folks from
poor and disenfranchised communities aren't even attempting to give their
kids a shot at a better future. They just trying
to get their kids an opportunity in the present moment,
and that opportunity is usually just.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
The basics, food, clothing, some shelter. Right now.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Okay, So when black and brown people are out here
doing what they gotta do to survive. This system should
have some understanding, okay, but they never do. They throw
black and brown people under the jail for much less
fourteen days and a fine.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
For mail fraud. Do you know mail fraud.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Carries a sentence of twenty years in prison and you
have to pay a quarter million dollar fine and be
required to make full restitution. Let Felicity Huffman would have
been some sister from a black of brown community. She
would have gotten years years behind bars for doing what
Felicity Huffman did guaranteed.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
But let's talk about the bigger picture.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
You know, how you set your kids up with opportunities
to succeed in the future. How do you set your
kids up with opportunities to succeed in the future by
not letting them skip steps? Now, okay, letting them know
that you cannot escape the process. If your daughter takes
the essays fails, then she just fails study come back
hard the next time.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
That is what life is about.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
We have to stop coddling these kids, especially in the
world where they go on social media and see everybody's
highlight reel. Nobody on social media is showing you the process.
They not showing you the times they failed, the times
things didn't go their way. I truly believe one of
the worst things about so called cancel culture is that
nobody wants to tell you about their mistakes anymore. Everybody
wants to play perfect and act like they've always gotten

(06:27):
it right. But guess what nobody has. Nobody is perfect.
We all make mistakes. We say wrong things, we do
wrong things. We fall, we get up, we learn, we grow,
we move on, we live, and we thank God for
always giving us another chance. If we don't allow our
kids to fail and learn how to deal with failing,
then we are truly hindering their chances of being successful

(06:47):
in the future. Felicity, right now you have an opportunity
to teach your kid a tremendous lesson about failure because
you failed. But you can't let that failure define you.
You have to let it shape you. And right now
your daughter is watching you. The way you handle it
is how she is going to learn how to handle
failure in the future. And when it comes to stuff
like failing a test, please, it's just a test.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
You fail, you take it over.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Maya Angelou said it best, courage allows a successful woman
to fail and learn powerful lessons from the failure, so
that in the end she didn't fail at all. Our
greatest glory in life, kids, is not in never failing,
but in rising every time we fail. Please let Chelsea
handle give Felicity Huffman the biggest hee haw hee haw

(07:30):
hee haw.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
That is way too much. Dan Maynes, all right, not.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Any stories we've heard of, you know a sisters putting
their kids in different area codes, are lying about where
they live so their kids can go to better schools,
and then getting actual prison sentences. How can we not
understand what they were trying to do for their children
With Felicity Hufman get a slap on the wrist for
something that has a twenty year sentence, you know why?

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Too much caught them?

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Mannaise Okay, all right, well, thank you for that donkey today,
b Et piece b et.

Speaker 2 (08:06):

Gospel celebration that happens every year Super Bowl time. It's
