Speaker 1: It's time for Donkey of the Day.

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 2: It's a read.

3
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: But you're so good at trying to charlamage.

4
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 3: He wants charlamage.

5
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: Che damn salomame?

Speaker 4: Who you giving dusky other day?

Speaker 3: Soon?

00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 5: Now?

9
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: Well?

10
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 5: Donk here today for Thursday September twenty six, goes to

11
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 5: Brett fav Hey, y'all, my name is Leonard mc kelvey

12
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 5: aka Charlamagne to God. I am your friendly neighborhood bad guy,

13
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 5: and I am always willing to be the a hole

14
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 5: you need, unless, of course, that a hole is needed

15
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 5: at one of Diddy's free costs. Now, if you haven't heard,

16
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 5: and you honestly may not have heard because the media

17
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 5: has done a great job of changing the narrative. Brett

18
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 5: fav testified at a congressional hearing this past Tuesday. Yes,

19
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 5: he testified in front of the House Ways and Means Committee,

20
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 5: which is investigating how states are spending money intended for

21
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 5: needy citizens. Brett Favre is one of the people being

22
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,959
Speaker 5: sued by the state of Mississippi, and they are demanding

23
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 5: repayment of the money.

24
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: They are trying to recover ninety million dollars.

25
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 5: But he is one of more than forty people who

26
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 5: have been sued by the State of Mississippi. Mississippi is

27
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 5: demanding repayment of money. They are trying to recover more

28
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 5: than ninety million dollars.

29
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: Okay.

30
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 5: Brett Farv is denying that he knowingly misused federal welfare money.

31
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:09,559
Speaker 1: Okay.

32
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 5: According to auditors, though in twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen,

33
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 5: mister Farr received one point one million in speaking fees

34
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 5: for speeches he never gave. He knew he didn't give

35
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 5: those speeches, but he took the money anyway. They suggested.

36
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 5: He also helped funnel millions of dollars to pet projects,

37
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 5: five million dollars to build volleyball facilities at his alma model.

38
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 5: He even paid back the one point one million and

39
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 5: misspit speaking fees, but the state demanded that he paid

40
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 5: back interest, and Brett Favre refused, so the State of

41
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 5: Mississippi is now suing him to recoup the funds he

42
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 5: wrongfully acquired. The lawsuit also made public texts from mister

43
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 5: Farvre that suggested.

44
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: He had a larger role than he claimed. Okay.

45
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 5: In fact, Brett Favb says he was unjustly speared in

46
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 5: the news media, but text messages written by mister Farr

47
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 5: and made publican court filings suggested that he was trying

48
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 5: to hide his involvement.

49
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: Let's go to kt LA five for the report.

50
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 6: Police revealed text messages filed in an ongoing civil lawsuit. Soho.

51
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 6: Farv was part of a scheme that funneled at least

52
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 6: five million dollars of welfare funds to build a new

53
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 6: volleyball stadium at the University of Southern Mississippi, where Farv

54
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 6: graduated and his daughter played the text show. Former Mississippi

55
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 6: Governor Phil Bryant pushed for the facility despite denying close involvement.

56
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 6: A friend of the former governor's wife, Nancy Knew, would

57
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 6: submit a five million dollar up front lease to use

58
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 6: the university's athletic facilities for her nonprofits programming, ostensibly for

59
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 6: needy families, in exchange for offices inside the new volleyball complex.

60
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 6: Former Welfare Agency director John Davis approved four million immediately. Farv,

61
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 6: texting in Gray, tells NEU that the governor has seen

62
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 6: the proposal, but hint, hint, you need to reword it

63
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 6: to get it accepted. I really feel like he's trying

64
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 6: to figure out a way to get it done without

65
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 6: actually saying it, says Farv of the former governor. Farv

66
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 6: also received one point one million dollars in welfare funding

67
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 6: through the Mississippi Community Education Center for speaking at events

68
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 6: he never showed up to. Farv asks new if you

69
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 6: were to pay me, is there any way the media

70
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 6: can find out where it came from and how much?

71
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 5: If you were to pay me, is there any way

72
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 5: the media can find out where it came from and

73
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 5: how much? I don't see how you can send a

74
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 5: text like that, but then claiming a hearing on Tuesday,

75
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 5: I had no way of knowing that there was anything

76
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 5: wrong with how the state funded the project. If you

77
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 5: didn't think it was anything wrong with how the state

78
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 5: was funding the project, then why would you care if

79
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 5: the media found out where the money.

80
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: Came from or how much?

81
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: Now?

82
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: Why am I telling y'all this story.

83
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 5: Because a lot of folks probably didn't know Brett Favre

84
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 5: was testifying in the congressionally hearing Tuesday because he's being

85
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 5: accused of helping to divert funds meant for low income residents.

86
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 5: Because Brett Farv decided to use the hearing to announce

87
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 5: that he has Parkinson's disease.

88
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: Can we go to CBS news to listen to what

89
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: he had to say?

90
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 3: Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Farv dropped a bombshell

91
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 3: today while testifying before Congress. The fifty four year old

92
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 3: reveal he is battling Parkinson's disease. Here's CBS's own Marvia Frankin.

93
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 4: I very much appreciate the opportunity to testify here today.

94
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: A stunning announcement today from Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Farv.

95
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: I've recently been diagnosed with Parkinson's. This is also a

96
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,679
Speaker 2: cause dear to my heart. Farv was testifying on Capitol

97
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 2: Hill about a Mississippi welfare scandal, where he is accused

98
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: of in properly using his connections to secure millions of

99
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 2: dollars for his alma mater and himself for speaking engagements

100
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: he never performed. Farv has repaid more than a million

101
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: dollars to the state and has denied all wrongdoing.

102
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 4: Even though I knew and I know I had done

103
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 4: nothing wrong.

104
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: I returned the funds no questions asked.

105
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 5: Brett fav used some of the federal money intended for

106
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 5: welfare recipients he used some of the money to invest

107
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,559
Speaker 5: in the company that was developing a breakthrough concussion drug.

108
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: He said he thought it would help others. And I'm

109
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: sure you understand.

110
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 5: While it's too late for me because I've recently been

111
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 5: diagnosed to Parkinson's. This is also a cause dear to

112
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 5: my heart, so dear to his heart, that he he

113
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 5: used money he obtained illegally, money that was supposed to

114
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 5: go to low income residents. He took that money to

115
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 5: invest in this pharmaceutical company called Prevacus Prevocus.

116
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: And guess what the.

117
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 5: Media ate it up every single headline you see as

118
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 5: Brett FAVV reveals he asked Parkinson's disease.

119
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: Well, guess guess what?

120
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 5: He was diagnosed with Parkers's disease, disease back in January. Okay,

121
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 5: how convenient to run that play when you are testifying

122
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 5: at a congressional hearing because you did something shady. So

123
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 5: you see, this is my problem with the media. Everybody

124
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 5: picks and chooses who they choose to demonize. Granted, Brett

125
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 5: fav hasn't been charged with anything criminal, but what he

126
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 5: did is unethical. It could still be criminal. He knew

127
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 5: he had Parkins's disease since January. In fact, I was

128
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 5: reading an ESPN article that said Brett fav asked TMZ

129
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 5: not to report his diagnosis at the time because he

130
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 5: knew back.

131
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: Then that wasn't the time to run that play.

132
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 5: I'm going to run that play when I have to

133
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 5: testify at a I don't know, a congressional hearing, because

134
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 5: then it will distract from what I'm actually here for.

135
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 5: And that is because I was using federal money from

136
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 5: welfare recipients to fund.

137
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: My pet projects. But it worked.

138
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 5: Google Brett fob These are the headlines you see the

139
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 5: New York Times. Brett fav reveals he has Parkiston's disease.

140

Speaker 5: Fox News NFL legend John l Way talks Brett Farv's

Speaker 5: Milwaukee Journal Aaron Rodgers feels bad for Brett fabb after

144

145

146
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 5: his health diagnosis is sad, but wow, how convenient for

147
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 5: the media to just bury the lead.

148
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: Why don't others get that? Grace NBC News says.

149

Speaker 5: questions about how the rich keep getting richer and the

152
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 5: poor don't get a devil damn thing. How has Brett

153
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 5: fav managed to garner more sympathy than the welfare recipients

154
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 5: they stole from. Brett fab had the nerve to say, sadly,

155
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 5: I lost an investment in a company we don't care

156
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 5: people couldn't eat because of what folks like you did.

157
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: I care way more about those.

159
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,840

160
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 5: wanted to build volleyball facilities at their alma mater. All

161
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 5: I'm saying is two things can be true. You can

162
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 5: be sad Brett fav has Parkinson's. But what's really shaky

163
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,119
Speaker 5: is how the media just seems to forget why Brett

164
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 5: favv was at this congressional hearing in the first place. Okay,

165
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 5: we live in a society where people get demonized for accusations,

166
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 5: but folks who actually do shady stuff, who actually doing

167
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 5: ethical stuff and have to testify about it, somehow end

168
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 5: up becoming heroes and sympathetic figures. If you don't think

169
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 5: there's a double standing in media and how they cover

170
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 5: people and it's usually based on race, then you're bugging.

171
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,239
Speaker 5: But I will always be here to remind you. Please

172
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 5: get Brett Favv the biggest he hull who want to

173
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 5: argue anyone?

174
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 4: Nobody? Okay, that's all horrible yesterday? Why because I think

175
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 4: I was way in to see how some outlets where

176
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 4: I used to work covered the story because I wanted

177
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 4: to see you brought up a good point in the room, y'all.

178
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 4: I'm always here for learning and grow that. It's because

179
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 4: it's mainstream media, does it. It's not me particularly, it's

180
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 4: mainstream media. And I was a part of mainstream media

181
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 4: for a very long time. That's how I learned. And

182
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 4: when I when they posted the article, they did not

183
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 4: one time mentioned anything about any of the reason why

184
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 4: he was there pleading his case at all, not one time,

185
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 4: And I was like, man like like, and I had

186
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 4: to dig for the answer myself. They wouldn't I remember

187
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 4: having arguments about I remember having arguments about Dana White

188
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 4: versus Chris Brown, like, and I just thought back to

189
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 4: and my feelings about it and just different things. And

190
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 4: you know, I'm not just throwing the dart at them

191
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 4: because I went through Google for a while trying to

192
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 4: prepare for that breadth thing, and it took me a

193
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 4: minute to find out why he was even there because

194
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 4: no one was talking about I did mention it, but

195
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 4: I didn't do it the way I should have. And

196
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 4: what I'm saying is is in growth and in learning,

197
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 4: and I appreciate y'all for, you know, bringing it to

198
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 4: my table. It's just I think that I know, I

199
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 4: think that we have a way of leaning to what

200
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 4: the media is talking about and not what we should

201
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 4: be talking about.

202
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 2: Who I love.

203
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 5: The media picks and chooses who they want to demonize

204
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 5: because they know how to demonize people. It's not like

205
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 5: they don't know how to they just choose, of course,

206
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 5: who not.

207
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: To do it to. And it's a lot of times

208
