Speaker 1: Yes, you are a donkey to the latest on that
Speaker 1: police killing of a black man, now the new developments
Speaker 1: in the deathly Spot shooting rampage man.
Speaker 2: Yes, say it was a really bad day for him.
Speaker 3: And this is what he did, and so we are
Speaker 3: in a state of emergency.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: White supremacist violence is always has been the number one
Speaker 4: threat to our society.
Speaker 2: But I'm also very proud that my wife was white.
Speaker 2: To the breakfast club, bitch, hich Henny, please tell me
Speaker 2: why was I your.
Speaker 4: Donkey of the day, Well, donkey today for Wednesday, January
Speaker 4: twenty ninth, cause the Georgia Representative Rich McCormick.
Speaker 2: He is a Republican who was on.
Speaker 4: CNN yesterday defending Trump's federal age freeze on school lunch programs. Now,
Speaker 4: I don't know about y'all, but I grew up on
Speaker 4: school lunch programs. Okay, during the school year and that summertime.
Speaker 4: My grandmother was a lunch lady at Alria Ready Intermediate
Speaker 4: School in mont Corner, South Carolina. Dropping the clues mom
Speaker 4: for Alright Ready into Media School. Okay, So sometimes she
Speaker 4: would bring those lunches home. And I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 4: something I remember one kid in fourth grade who was
Speaker 4: so poor. Mind you, none of us came from any money,
Speaker 4: but he had it worse than a lot of us.
Speaker 2: That school lunch.
Speaker 4: Program was the only time that young brother used to
Speaker 4: eat throughout the whole day. And I remember we had
Speaker 4: an evil, mean ass teacher named Miss Freeman. That woman
Speaker 4: used to punish that young man by telling him he
Speaker 4: couldn't eat lunch.
Speaker 2: And I'll never.
Speaker 4: Forget the pain in that young man's face when she
Speaker 4: used to do that to him. People are really, really cruel,
Speaker 4: and that's what we are seeing from folks like Rich McCormick. Okay,
Speaker 4: not only does he agree with the federal aide freeze
Speaker 4: on school lunch programs, he says that kids should be
Speaker 4: working instead of receiving free lunch. Let's go to CNN
Speaker 4: Pamela Brown for the report.
Speaker 3: Police, would you support getting rid of you know, school
Speaker 3: lunch for vulnerable.
Speaker 2: Kids and breakfast and head start? Do you support that?
Speaker 2: And what do you say to your constituents when you.
Speaker 1: Talking about school lunches? Hey, I worked my way through
Speaker 1: high school. I know about you, but I worked since
Speaker 1: I was before I was even thirteen years old, I
Speaker 1: was picking berries in the field before a child, labor
Speaker 1: laws that precluded that.
Speaker 2: I was a paper boy.
Speaker 1: And when I was in high school, I worked my
Speaker 1: entire way through. You're telling me that kids who stay
Speaker 1: at home instead of going to work at Burger King
Speaker 1: McDonald's during the summer should stay at home and get
Speaker 1: their free lunch instead of going to work. I think
Speaker 1: we need to have a top down review works lunch.
Speaker 4: I would say that's not necessarily a fair assessment of
Speaker 4: all of the kids.
Speaker 2: So you would say all the kids in your district
Speaker 2: who use the.
Speaker 4: Free lunch for example, or breakfast, they're all just seeing
Speaker 4: at home and not working. Okay, I just want to clarify,
Speaker 4: because this gives us a chance.
Speaker 2: Now, this gives us a chance.
Speaker 1: This gives us a chance though to see where is
Speaker 1: the money really being spent. How many people got their
Speaker 1: start in fast food restaurants when there are kids, versus
Speaker 1: just giving a blanket rule that gets all kids lunches
Speaker 1: in high school who are capable of going out and
Speaker 1: actually getting a job and doing something that makes them
Speaker 1: have value thinking about their future instead of thinking about
Speaker 1: how they're going to sponge off the government.
Speaker 2: Okay, you want high school kids to get a job.
Speaker 2: What about elementary school?
Speaker 4: What about middle school kids? Like, let me tell you
Speaker 4: something man that you already probably know. America does not
Speaker 4: give a damn about poor people. I mean, they could
Speaker 4: care less. When I first heard this story, I thought
Speaker 4: to myself, does Rich McCormick know that they are poor?
Speaker 2: White?
Speaker 4: You know, you know kids that he'll be depriving as well,
Speaker 4: because you know, blackness is just my default setting. So
Speaker 4: I just assume this is happening because of race, because
Speaker 4: growing up I was a black kid who benefited from
Speaker 4: school lunch programs.
Speaker 2: But no, guys like.
Speaker 4: Rich McCormick don't give a damn about color. They care
Speaker 4: about they don't give it. They don't give a damn
Speaker 4: about race. They don't give a damn about poor people.
Speaker 2: Period. Okay, it's all a matter of class.
Speaker 4: But I just want to tell folks like Rich McCormick
Speaker 4: because the Trump administration is a head of schedule on
Speaker 4: ruining the economy, by the way, I want to say,
Speaker 4: I want to say something, but they are ahead of schedules.
Speaker 2: See, I've told y'all before.
Speaker 4: That the economy since World War Two does better when
Speaker 4: it's a Democrat in the White House. And this isn't
Speaker 4: about party affiliation because I'm an independent. I'm just dealing
Speaker 4: with facts. There have been eleven recessions in this country.
Speaker 4: Ten of them have been Republican led, So I'm already
Speaker 4: anticipating that for this administration.
Speaker 2: Say what you want, Democrats create jobs.
Speaker 4: Democrats at least attempt to expand the middle class and
Speaker 4: strengthen the economy. Okay, I understand that a lot of
Speaker 4: folks don't always feel that in their pockets, so it's hard.
Speaker 2: For people to believe that I get it.
Speaker 4: Well, let's be clear, this capitalist society we live in
Speaker 4: doesn't matter who's in charge. Okay, Republicans are Democrats because
Speaker 4: the gap between the haves and have nots is so wide. Okay,
Speaker 4: the wealth inequality in this country is so great that
Speaker 4: what they are currently implementing by attempting to order this
Speaker 4: federal spending freeze, you stop in Medicaid, school breakfast lunch programs,
Speaker 4: Section eight, rental assistance, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women,
Speaker 4: Infants and Kids, farm credits, the VA, the SPA, defense contracts,
Speaker 4: anything that provides people with financial relief.
Speaker 2: They trying to put a freeze on rich McCormick.
Speaker 4: If the have nots the poor, if they hungry and
Speaker 4: can give food, what you think they're gonna eat? That's right,
Speaker 4: your ass. Wait a minute, that might have decided you.
Speaker 4: Not your literal ass.
Speaker 2: I mean figuratively as an eat the rich.
Speaker 4: Okay, let me give you a reminder from the late
Speaker 4: Great two Parks your core on what happens when a
Speaker 4: country doesn't take care of the least of us.
Speaker 3: If I know that in this hotel room they have
Speaker 3: food every day, and I'm knocking on the door every
Speaker 3: day to eat, and they tell and they open the door,
Speaker 3: let me see the party. Let me see like they're
Speaker 3: throwing salami all over the I mean just like throwing
Speaker 3: food around. But they're telling me there's no food in me.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Every day I'm standing outside trying to sing my way in.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, We are hungry. Please let
Speaker 3: us in. We are hung we please.
Speaker 2: Let him say.
Speaker 3: After about a week that song was gonna change that
Speaker 3: we hungry, we need some food. After two three weeks,
Speaker 3: it's like, you know, give me a the food and
Speaker 3: raking out of the door. And after a year and
Speaker 3: just like you know what I'm saying. I'm picking the lock,
Speaker 3: coming through the door, blasting you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: It's like you hungry, you reach your level, you don't
Speaker 3: want anymore. We asked ten years ago, we was asking
Speaker 3: with the Panthers. Who was asking with them? You know,
Speaker 3: a civil rights movement? Who's asking?
Speaker 2: You know? Now?
Speaker 3: Now those people that were asking, they're all day and
Speaker 3: in jail. So now what do you think?
Speaker 2: It's only a matter of time?
Speaker 4: Okay, Rich McCormick, this is how I know of folks
Speaker 4: like yourself.
Speaker 2: Y'all don't really believe in Christ.
Speaker 4: Y'all don't really believe in Christ because Matthew twenty five
Speaker 4: forty talks about taking care of the least the bus,
Speaker 4: all right, talks about taking care of the least the bus.
Speaker 4: It says, truly, I tell you, whatever you did for
Speaker 4: one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine,
Speaker 4: you did for me. This just means that by caring
Speaker 4: for those who are most vulnerable, are marginalized, you are
Speaker 4: serving Jesus himself. That's not what you're doing. Rich McCormick,
Speaker 4: please give that man the biggest he huh.
Speaker 2: All right, well, thank you for that donkey to day.
