Speaker 1: And I just wanted to know how you came up
Speaker 1: with them. Don't he the day? Because you mean, ay,
Speaker 1: a bunch of donkeys. That is what Charlemagne. We live
Speaker 1: a life where we rite are tongue based off who
Speaker 1: we may have been. He never was saying anything.
Speaker 2: On the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: In the word of charlemagnea god, he's a donkey.
Speaker 2: Oh man, Charlemagne, you've given donkey a day to who.
Speaker 1: Now, yes, donkey today for Thursday, May first, is going
Speaker 1: to a thirty five year old Kentucky woman named Akisha Johnson.
Speaker 1: Now today is made first indeed, and do you know
Speaker 1: what today is. It's the first day of Mental Health
Speaker 1: Awareness Month. Okay, drop on the clues bumps of mental
Speaker 1: health away. This month is dedicated to raising awareness, promoting education,
Speaker 1: and providing resources to support those struggling with mental health challenges.
Speaker 2: And that is what we are doing today with this donkey.
Speaker 1: We are raising awareness to those struggling with mental health issues.
Speaker 1: Because Makisha is clearly struggling with mental health issues. Okay,
Speaker 1: she was a patient at a Kentucky hospital and she
Speaker 1: did something that a lot of people think about doing
Speaker 1: when the process at the hospital is taking too long?
Speaker 2: What do you mean, Uncle Shola.
Speaker 1: She did something that a lot of people think about
Speaker 1: doing when the process at the hospital is taking too long.
Speaker 2: Well, let's go to WDR you for the report. Please hey.
Speaker 3: Woman is under arrest in Louisville after reportedly choking and
Speaker 3: assaulting a U OFL hospital nurse. Court records say a
Speaker 3: nurse was making her realm Saturday afternoon when thirty five
Speaker 3: year old Mikeisha Johnson allegedly attacked her. Please say. Footage
Speaker 3: of the incident shows Johnson choking the nurse, then flamming
Speaker 3: her to the ground, where she reportedly began hitting the
Speaker 3: nurse in the face. Officer say. Johnson claims she was
Speaker 3: angry at the staff were taking too long to discharge her.
Speaker 3: Johnson was charged with assault of a healthcare provider, wanton endangerment,
Speaker 3: and menacing.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, when you're ready to go, you're ready
Speaker 2: to go. Okay.
Speaker 1: We have all been part of the discharge process from
Speaker 1: the hospital in some way, shape or form, whether you've
Speaker 1: been the patient or whether you've been waiting with somebody.
Speaker 2: And yes, the hospital does drag their feet sometime. Okay.
Speaker 2: It is a hurry up and wait situation.
Speaker 1: Nothing is worse when you have to unexpectedly go to
Speaker 1: the hospital, like you know, you got to go to
Speaker 1: the ear, like something not right with you, or the
Speaker 1: kids got a bone out of side gets so you
Speaker 1: gotta up and leave the house and you didn't plan to.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you be so.
Speaker 1: Ready to leave the hospital once they tell you nothing
Speaker 1: wrong or they fix what is wrong. But the hospital
Speaker 1: do be taken forever. But just because you think about
Speaker 1: choking somebody doesn't give you the right to do it, Okay,
Speaker 1: especially when this nurse wasn't doing anything but her job.
Speaker 1: Nurses out here working long hours, they're underpaid, they're stressed,
Speaker 1: and they always put their own health ever risk just
Speaker 1: to take care of our sick asses. Okay, they do
Speaker 1: not deserve to be attacked on the job full stop.
Speaker 1: But also, if you're trying to speed up the process, Makisha,
Speaker 1: the quickest way to slow things down is by physically
Speaker 1: attacking the nurse. Okay, you're definitely not going home now,
Speaker 1: you're going to jail now. I'm not here to make
Speaker 1: excuses for her violence. Okay, what she did was wrong,
Speaker 1: but we have to know something was off with her mentally, right,
Speaker 1: You gotta know that there is a lot of things
Speaker 1: that are going to push people to the breaking point.
Speaker 1: In this day and time that we live in. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of things that are gonna make
Speaker 1: people snap. And it's because folks like Makeisha are walking
Speaker 1: around with undiagnosed mental illnesses. Okay, a lot of folks
Speaker 1: out here underpression, and they don't got no tools, no resources,
Speaker 1: no coping skills. They not going to no therapy, they
Speaker 1: don't have no emotional outlets. They just have frustration and
Speaker 1: nowhere healthy to put it, and they end up projecting
Speaker 1: on people the way that Makisha projected onto this nurse.
Speaker 1: And that's not an individual problem. Okay, that just doesn't
Speaker 1: stand with Makisha, that's a societal problem. We don't take
Speaker 1: mental health seriously. We tell people just demand up or
Speaker 1: suck it up or you know, get it.
Speaker 2: What, suck it up? You know you were best eat.
Speaker 1: Because I could have tied all of that in with
Speaker 1: Kanye too, but I did because he's somebody else that
Speaker 1: we know did with mental health issues and people be
Speaker 1: telling him to suck it up. He did it literally,
Speaker 1: But we tell people to man up and get over it.
Speaker 1: Or just deal with it. Meanwhile, people out here exploding
Speaker 1: over little things, okay, and others have to pay the
Speaker 1: price like that poor nurse. So we need to get
Speaker 1: people help, get them therapy. I personally don't believe this
Speaker 1: young woman, Makisha Johnson needs to be in handcuffs, but
Speaker 1: she does deserve to get the credit, uh today for
Speaker 1: being stupid, So give her the biggest he huh yes yo.
Speaker 1: And this man said, suck it up and people exploding
Speaker 1: over little things? Right?
Speaker 2: This was so much gay intention. Oh my god, got it?
Speaker 2: No album? But no, it is mental health aware.
Speaker 1: This wants to let's, you know, pay attention to what
Speaker 1: with mental health awareness is all about? Okay, there are
Speaker 1: people out here struggling with all types of mental health
Speaker 1: challenges that they don't know what to do with. So
Speaker 1: let this be the month that you know, we should
Speaker 1: do it all the time, but we should alway be
Speaker 1: raising awareness and promoting mental health education and providing resources
Speaker 1: to people.
Speaker 2: Who need it. To do that. Empathy, Am I gonna
Speaker 2: get empathy? Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: The reason I gave Mickey Johnson Donkey to day is
Speaker 1: because she's thirty five years old. At some point you know,
Speaker 1: you know you shouldn't know better about it. You know
Speaker 1: you're not responsible for your trauma, but you are responsible
Speaker 1: for your healing. I mean, I hear you just because
