0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Some donkey dings just sudd himself. Charlotte Man, I was

0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.760
<v Speaker 1>ready for I never read the Donkey other Day.

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:14.960
<v Speaker 2>What is it again, Charla donc.

0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 1>La? That's true?

0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:25.919
<v Speaker 3>Yes, uh donkey to Day for Tuesday, March twenty six,

0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:29.680
<v Speaker 3>goes the congressman David Throne. Okay, he is a Maryland congressman,

0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:33.360
<v Speaker 3>a Democrat running for Senate, and he recently apologized for

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:35.960
<v Speaker 3>his use of a racial slur during a budget hearing.

0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Now, let me set this up for you.

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:42.200
<v Speaker 3>During the hearing, David Throne was discussing corporate tax rates

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 3>and their impact on business, and somehow that led him

0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:45.560
<v Speaker 3>to use a racial slur.

0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Would you like to hear it?

0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:47.479
<v Speaker 2>Here?

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:50.480
<v Speaker 4>Go? Could you do it better than the other competitor?

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 4>And with that, could you create a P and L?

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:56.640
<v Speaker 4>Stay with it works? So this Republican jigaboo, that's you know,

0:00:56.680 --> 0:01:00.280
<v Speaker 4>it's a tax rate that's stopping this investment. It's just

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.600
<v Speaker 4>completely faulty. My people have never run a business.

0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god.

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 3>Now I haven't heard this racial slur in a long time. Okay,

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:09.039
<v Speaker 3>this is a throwback. I don't think I've ever heard

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:11.399
<v Speaker 3>this racial slur I actually used in real life to

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 3>be honest with you.

0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:14.680
<v Speaker 1>David thrown at sixty eight years old, though born in nineteen.

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:16.720
<v Speaker 3>Hundred and fifty five, nine years before the civil rights

0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:18.959
<v Speaker 3>back in nineteen sixty four was implemented, so he had

0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 3>nine years of segregation. By nine he was probably fully

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 3>equipped with all the black slurs coune, monkey, colored, the

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:28.840
<v Speaker 3>N word, and jigaboo Jesus. Okay, you got to understand,

0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.319
<v Speaker 3>if you grew up when discriminatory practices was still in

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 3>place and there were segregation in public places, you definitely

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 3>use some of those slurs as a white man in

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 3>this country.

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:40.759
<v Speaker 3>There's actually a phrase called a phasia where you think

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:42.319
<v Speaker 3>one word would say another.

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 1>You ever heard that avenue? Yes, you think one word,

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 1>but you say another.

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.120
<v Speaker 3>So in this case, David thrones that he intended to

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 3>use the word bugaboo. I don't understand the context of

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 3>either in a budget hearing. Okay, I don't know why jigaboo, buggaboo,

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.560
<v Speaker 3>my boo, Acon's brother boo boo from a goods boo

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 3>with you. I don't know why any boo would be

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 3>used in the budgeteering, unless, of course, one of these

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 3>elected officials is getting booed for using a racial slur.

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Now David Throne did apologize. Let's go to the news

0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 1>report to hear what he had to say and developing.

0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Now, Maryland Congressman David Throne has apologized for making a

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 2>racial slur he made jourin a House Budget committee hearing.

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 5>In all honesty, I'm actually not surprised.

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.960
<v Speaker 6>Brandon Brooks of Prince George's County says Maryland sent to Kennedy,

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:29.079
<v Speaker 6>David Thron's use of a racist word in Congress Thursday

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:30.080
<v Speaker 6>is no big shock.

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 5>I've observed other situations where derogatory languages such as that

0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 5>is used freely in a white household, Caucasian household. Is

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 5>no accountability because he keeps happening.

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 3>White feel comfortable using this type of terminology and thinking

0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 3>that it's okay because that's the playbook that Trump is using.

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:52.160
<v Speaker 6>Trone declined and interview requests, but in a statement he

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 6>says that the attempted to use.

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 1>The word boogaboo.

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 6>But quote, I used a phrase that is offensive and

0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:01.280
<v Speaker 6>that has a long, dark terror history and should have

0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 6>never been used in any conversation.

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 3>Well, the Democrats are using a Trump's playbook of racial slurs,

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 3>and I guess, I guess we're doomed. Listening to that

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.239
<v Speaker 3>news report, I'm even more confused. I still don't know

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:16.919
<v Speaker 3>why he would be quoting Beyonce, Kelly and Michelle in

0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.320
<v Speaker 3>a Senate hearing. I don't see where there was room

0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 3>for bugaboo. Definitely wasn't no room for jigaboo. David also

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 3>acknowledged his privilege as a white man and an elected official,

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.640
<v Speaker 3>recognizing his responsibility for the words he uses.

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:30.919
<v Speaker 1>Particularly in moments of intensity.

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 3>Moments of intensity, that is an accurate phrase because I

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:37.280
<v Speaker 3>was always told to pay attention to what people say

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:40.400
<v Speaker 3>out of anger, because they've been dying to tell you that. Okay,

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.160
<v Speaker 3>David Throne been wanting to call someone at jigaboo for

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.120
<v Speaker 3>a long time now. I looked up the definition of jigaboo.

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 3>All it means, from what I could find is it's

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 3>just used as an insult and contemptuous term for a

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:52.760
<v Speaker 3>black person.

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 1>That's it.

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 3>So this isn't one of those times you can blame

0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.560
<v Speaker 3>this on the Republicans, because this man, David Thrown, is

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 3>a Democrat, and you know, y'all want to always show

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 3>us the difference between Democrats and Republicans. But at the

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 3>end of the day, the day gonna end with one

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 3>of these white men, regardless of party, calling you something

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.240
<v Speaker 3>you don't want to be called. Please let Chelsea handle it.

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 3>Give David Thrown the biggest he.

0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Hee haw hee haw. That is way too much. Dan Maynes,

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.039
<v Speaker 1>Kathy Griffin get in on this. Please give this giant

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:28.000
<v Speaker 1>jar male the biggest he haw. I'm not fighting the urge.

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Do it go slur for slur? Do it no? Don't

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.479
<v Speaker 1>go s yes, you gotta grow up. If I can't

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 1>say that's no, I'm not gonna go slow. I see

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Chris Rock, I'm not gonna.

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.680
<v Speaker 3>Go slur for slur. I'm not gonna see Chris macis Mac?

0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 1>What's up Mac? How you guys doing? Big macis hell?

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Big Mac? Walk in the room. No, it's gonna be

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 1>take my time.

0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:54.200
<v Speaker 7>But I heard the donkey, and I was thinking to myself,

0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:56.640
<v Speaker 7>you know, people make his mistakes. Like you said, he's

0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:58.839
<v Speaker 7>used the term a lot and it upset us. It

0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:00.840
<v Speaker 7>upset me when I heard it. But you know what,

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.520
<v Speaker 7>black people, you make things easier when they are in song.

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:05.200
