Speaker 1 (00:00):
Phones are always open at two of five, four, three
nine nine, three seven two, and you can come in
here anytime you want to. Coffee's hot. You're welcome, Come
on in. What's on your Mind? We're talking about cats
and animals earlier this morning, and who has a better
life the owners of the pets and so many different
dog owners apparently think their dogs are living it up
where they're kind of depressed and having to go home.
(00:21):
Joining us now is Tina from Where's Tina from Shelby County? Tina,
Good morning, you're in Alabama's Morning News. What's on your mind?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Morning, JT. I was commenting on your story about the animals.
I had a co worker.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
He passed away within two days.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
His dogs ate most of him.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
What the dogs ate the eight the owners after he
passed away?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yes, so okay, Well you said that you've never heard
of the dogs the cat? Yeah, yes, he had a
pit bulls and yeah, there wasn't much left of him when.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
The well, all right there there it is the two
magic words pit bull in that story. But you know,
I've seen the stores of cats, I haven't seen dogs,
and I even googled is it do cats eat their owners?
If they die, and the answer came back, Yes, there
is a possibility that kept, particularly a pharaoh or semi
(01:13):
fair one might eat its owner if they're trapped with
a dead body and starving. Now the fact that the
pit bull did it, I'm not sure my sweet little
sugar Golden Retriever would eat me if I were dead.
But I would think, you know, Tina, that you know,
if you're you're alone and you're an animal and there's
a dead body there and nobody's feeding you over for
three or four days, you got to survive, right, So
(01:35):
that's probably what's going on. Right.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Well, I just, you know, I just I wanted to
put that little two cents work in there and take
you to have a great morning. Oh and by the way,
I didn't want to ask a question. Yes, you know,
I'm a I'm a trumper from from my heart that
you know, all this money he's signing that you know,
the government has selen from that's for the.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Last forty fifty years.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Are we, as you know, as taxpayer, are we going
to get any kind of you know check? Hi? Yeah,
that's what I'm asking. Yeah, I want to check.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Yeah, i'd like to right, I'm with you. Who wouldn't
you know with the tax plan that he's got going,
if this does go through the way he wants it,
we're all going to get you know, about a thirteen
thousand dollars Hello, thank you very much back to us.
You know that we don't have to work. You know,
we certainly are going to get some benefit out of
that now a check. As far as like, hey, we
had a surplus, I don't know if we're going to
(02:28):
get that or not. If we're just going to get
closer to reducing debt. The bill right now that went
through doesn't really address that bill or address the debt
as much as some Republicans wanted. Do we get a
check because we're way ahead of the game and have
a surplus. I don't think so. Probably not, but we'll
run more efficiently in the long run be better off
from it. I'm still confident the President is on track
(02:50):
with what he once again get done here. Tina, Well,
thank you very much. I appreciate you. Hey, joining us
now is April Chapman, who's a Christian conservative speaker. To
talk about what's going on with reparation, that would only exaggerate.
I think, you know, all the racial problems we're having here.
So welcome in April. I'm so glad to have you
with us.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Thank you so much for having me. I appreciate the
opportunity to talk about this issue.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, I'm telling you, it's when it first started with
Biden in the White House. It's like, wait a minute,
what do today's people on both sides have to do
with anything about reparations? And do we really have all
the facts lined up when it comes to slavery and
slave owners and you know who owned them? Who didn't
(03:35):
were their black owners as well as white owners. I mean,
so the whole thing of give me a check for
a million dollars just because I'm black and two hundred
years ago, you know my family went through something that
I need paid on is ludicrous to me. So is
this really still being discussed.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
It's absolutely still being discussed. But here's the pining of
the discussion is aneous is difficults enjoy reframing, reimagining, and
retelling history from a very disingenuous perspective. A little history.
What people don't realize is that there were two Homestead Acts,
(04:14):
eighteen sixty two and the Southern Homestead Act of eighteen
sixty six really quickly. These acts, at least the Southern
Homestead Act offered upwards to one hundred and sixty acres
to citizens, which included free black Americans. And the requirements
for simple you have to go out west, you have
(04:36):
to be willing to settle, and you've got to cultivate
this land for five years and it is yours. Now.
These acts were federal efforts. Right if we know historically
the Confederacy lost the war. Okay, the Union Army took
the victory. Slavery is abolished, and now we've got this
reconstruction effort. If you want to have a discussion about reparation,
(05:00):
we need to historically examine was there any economic opportunity
in a pathway offered? And if so, where did it
come from, who initiated it? And then what was the
opposition against such efforts? So I'll give you another quick
history lesson. There was absolutely opposition to this type of
(05:21):
economic advancement. Democrats were violently opposed to this. However, despite
both odds, there were at least five thousand freedmen who
successfully filed claimed and built lives out less There's a
town Nicko Damis, Kansas is an example and proof of that.
So when people say nothing was ever done, manages historical
(05:44):
and lujia and it's not true. Now if we want
to have him more even on this discussion, I believe
that opportunities were offered. But you have two things working
at the same time, and this is unpopular, but that's
why you guys have me on the show today. You
had a lot of cowardice, a lot of cowardice if
(06:05):
you think about it. During the Civil War you had
dumb slaves actually dug bitches and bramparts for their masters,
doing everything that they could to aid the Confederate army.
And then you also had former slaves who were fighting
in the Union Army who blood shed through bloodshed and
(06:29):
sears were willing to fight for their freedom. So that
tells me key things. You have cowardice and you have
bravery working alongside, and everyone knows that at the end
of the day, only one of those are going to
reign victorious. And then story you had democrat oppositions you
cos you had all sorts of subjugation and oppression that
(06:54):
was actively pursued to prevent these black settlers from from
taking advantage to what was offered to them, but many did,
and so reparations were given. But as I always say,
you cannot no one sends by Carrisley, So why are
(07:15):
we attempting to.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Exactly one April one hundred percent on that. I wish
I had more time and we could talk longer about this.
But once again, folks to Project twenty one ambassador black
female as well, April Chapman, with some great insight on
this reparations issue and a Christian conservative speaker, no doubt, April,
great pleasure. Would love to have you back sometime. Thank
you for being with me.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
You're welcome anytime
