1
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: I was born to Donkey. It's a Donkey of the

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: Death Club. Yes, Donke here today for Wednesday, May twenty

3
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 1: second goes to the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development,

4
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: doctor Ben Carson. Now, I don't know why I thought

5
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: doctor Ben Carson stepped down from this position, but he didn't. Well,

6
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: all right, No, he's leaving after Trump's first term. Yes,

7
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: he's leaving after Trump's first term. Uh, well, hopefully his

8
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: only term. Now. Yesterday, doctor Ben Carson testified before a

9
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: Queen Maxine Water's Financial Services Committee for the first time

10
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: since Maxine became the chair in January. If it is

11
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: true that you never get a second chance to make

12
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: a first impression, well, doctor Ben Carson blew it all right. Now.

13
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: Quick backstory on doctor Ben for those who don't know,

14
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: he's a former brain surgeon and Republican presidential candidate who

15
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: are celebrity in chief. Donald J. Trump nominated as his

16
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: Hutch secretary in twenty seventeen despite him having zero relevant experience. Now,

17
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: doctor Ben was trying to defend a budget proposal that

18
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: would Cutch sixteen point four percent from Hutch budget. He

19
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: was also questioned about a plan Hudd announced last year

20
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: to impose rent increases of as much as one hundred

21
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: and fifty percent on people who lived in subsidized housing. Now,

22
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: if you thought doctor Ben Carson had no idea what

23
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: he was doing as Secretary of HUD, well this exchange

24
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: confirms it. Okay, because there's a basic housing terminology. I

25
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: know a little basic housing terminology like envy. I know

26
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: you know some basic housing terminology, right correct? You know

27
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: what affordable housing is for the most part, the mixed

28
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: use housing. And we know what opportunity zones are. We

29
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,639
Speaker 1: know what the amiyes are right pmvs. American Medium Income

30
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: Present market Value. Okay, we all know some basic housing terminology. Well,

31
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: we might know more basic terms about housing than the

32
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: Secretary of HUD doctor Ben Carson. Because Representative Katie Porter

33
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: asked Doctor Ben about a common acronym used to describe

34
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: closed properties. She asked him about R e os R eos.

35
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: That's an R A E And oh, okay, would you

36
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: like to hear what doctor ben Carson thought she was

37
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: talking about. Let's listen. I'd also like you to get

38
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: back to me if you don't mind, to explain the

39
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: disparity in rio rate. Do you know what an rio is?

40
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: An OREO R not an OREO and R EO R

41
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: real estate? What's the O stand for the organization owned?

42
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: Real estate owned? That's what happens when a property goes

43
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: to foreclosure. We call it an R e O. Okay,

44
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: she had to explaate it to him. Was it that

45
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: MB seminar? If he would have learned? Gee, when you're

46
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: talking for a closed properties, an RIO stands for real

47
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: estate owned. Okay. If you want to snack with some

48
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: warm milk, if it's Christmas and you're trying to leave

49
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: Santa something to snack on, an orio, it's a chocolate

50
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: sandwich cookie. Now let me tell you something. Doctor Ben

51
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,119
Speaker 1: was doing something called psychological projection with that statement. I'm

52
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: no neurosurgeon. I didn't even go to college. I graduated

53
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: from night school in nineteen ninety eight, and my graduating

54
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: class was supposed to be in nineteen ninety six. So

55
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: that tells you all you need to know about me,

56
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: all right, But psychological projection is a defense mechanism in

57
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: which the human ego defends itself against unconscious impulses or quality.

58
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: So I think doctor Benn has an unconscious impulse to

59
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: defend himself when he hears the word ario because he

60
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: has been called one so much in his life. Okay,

61
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: and Orio, and Orio is a black person who acts white,

62
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: you know, black on the outside, white on the inside. Now,

63
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: I don't like that term because black people are not monolithic,

64
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: and there's no way to act black and there's no

65
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: way to act white. All right. Just because doctor Ben

66
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: Carson is a well educated neurosurgeon who doesn't speak fluent

67
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: nigga doesn't mean he's act no white. Okay. So I

68
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: don't agree with calling people orioles, but I can see

69
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: why you would call doctor Ben Carson one. And I

70
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: truly believe, you know, he's been called one his whole life,

71
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: that it was a psychological projection. Okay. He feels like

72
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: Milk's favorite cookie. So when he heard that, he just

73
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: got defensive, all right. He was ready to prove that

74
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: he did not consist of two chocolate wafers, and he

75
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: was knock full of sweet cream filling, all right. If

76
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: Katie Porter had really called doctor Ben Carson an ario,

77
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: he was ready to reply, you don't know me. I

78
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: am big Bee from the d and you will put

79
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: some respect on me, all right, Yeah, y'all don't know

80
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: big bee from the D. I ain't the big bee

81
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: from the D from the streets. So let's hit a

82
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: big bee talk that talk. As a teenager, I would

83
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: go after people at rocks and baseball. Carson describes punching

84
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: a classmate with a lock in his hand the dage fourteen,

85
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: another teenager anger at man. I had a large camping

86
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: knife and I tried to stab him in the abdumen. Fortunately,

87
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: under his clothing he had on a large metal belt

88
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: buckle and a knife. Place struck with such force that

89
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: it broke big Bee from the D. Dropping a clue.

90
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: Big Bee from the D orio e though, damn Orio

91
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: that a big bee from the D. I dare you

92
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: call an oriole? Now? A big bee from the D

93
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: decided to play along, and he got on Twitter and

94
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: posted a picture of him holding a pack of family

95
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 1: size orioles. Now, I am a stern believer of living

96
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: your truth. It's the eminem and eight my theory. I

97
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: wrote about it in my first book, Black Privilege. And

98
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: I guess since big Bee from the das from Detroit,

99
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: he decided to take a page out of be Rabbit's

100
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: book and say everything about himself that any hater could

101
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: possibly say, so he held up that pack of orioles. Well,

102
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 1: it worked for bee rabbit, it don't work for doctor

103
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: ben Carson because even though I don't agree with the

104
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: term oriole, I can see why they call him that. Right,

105
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: you can't take a picture with a pack of orioles,

106
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: just like all Kelly can't take a picture in front

107
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: of a high school. All right, O, j can't pretend

108
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: to be Jason bahe's for Halloween. It's just some things

109
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: that should not be done, and an oriole holding the

110
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: pack of orioles is one of them. Look, if you

111
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: don't know something, don't pretend to. Okay, I'm not an

112
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: expert at anything. I just have some experiences. And when

113
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: you don't know, like doctor ben Carson, or have any

114
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: experiences in a certain field like doctor Ben Carson, and

115
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: you end up mistaking our eos for cookies, I'm small

116
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: enough to know I'm dumb. Okay, you have to be

117
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: smart enough to know you're not very smart. All you

118
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: can be like doctor ben Carson and not be smart

119
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: enough to know everything, but be dumb enough to try anything,

120
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: including being the secretary of HUD When you have no

121
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: idea what the hell you are doing. Please let me

122
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: give doctor Ben Carston the biggest he hall he ha

123
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: he ha, you stupid mother. Are you requirements or anything?

124
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: Clearly not? Clearly not. I mean I can see where

125
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: you can get some acronyms messed up. Like if somebody

126
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: came to me and said, NBA right now, I probably

127
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: think young boy, you know before anything. You know what

128
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: I'm saying. If you came to me and said, PSA,

129
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: I think of jay Z and just blazed allowed me

130
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: to reintroduce myself. You know what I'm saying, But I would,

131
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: I would get back focused in two seconds. I thank

132
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: you for that. Donkey to day, Yes, sir, all right

133
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: when we come back, we got your positive note. Throw

00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: moves to breakfast Club. Good morning,
