[00:01:57] J. Aundrea: Victor Newman is still on the show.

[00:01:59] Bruce Anthony: No, [00:02:00] he's not.

[00:02:00] J. Aundrea: Yes.

[00:02:01] Bruce Anthony: is not. I thought young and the rest of us went off the air.

[00:02:04] J. Aundrea: No, and I saw him recently. There was a viral video that went around and he still looks the same. He

[00:02:13] Bruce Anthony: Incredible.

[00:02:14] J. Aundrea: he's, um, he's got to be a million years old.

[00:02:18] Bruce Anthony: He's up there. He's up there.

[00:02:20] J. Aundrea: I don't even know his real name. I'll be honest. It's, it's Eric Braden, but for all of us, we know him as Victor Newman. [00:02:30] Um, and yeah, he's, he's still, uh, I don't know if The Young and the Restless is still on to be honest with you. I think it is, but I really don't know the answer to that. I

[00:02:42] Bruce Anthony: Yeah. I thought all those daytime talk shows took over the soap operas, but then again, soap opera, no, the daytime. I don't know. I don't know.

[00:02:51] J. Aundrea: No,

[00:02:51] Bruce Anthony: I don't know.

[00:02:52] J. Aundrea: on.

[00:02:53] Bruce Anthony: Okay.

[00:02:53] J. Aundrea: Yeah.

[00:02:55] Bruce Anthony: This is what I do know. This is something that's interesting. I don't think I, I don't think I even told you [00:03:00] this story or maybe I did when we stopped filming the other day.

[00:03:03] Elevator Encounter and Reflections on Aging
---

[00:03:03] Bruce Anthony: Did I tell you about the dude in the elevator last Saturday?

[00:03:08] J. Aundrea: Uh, no.

[00:03:10] Bruce Anthony: Okay. So last Saturday I go out with my bestie and my goddaughter to continue on the celebration of my birthday.

[00:03:18] J. Aundrea: Yeah.

[00:03:19] Bruce Anthony: And, um, I was really excited.

[00:03:21] J. Aundrea: by the way, that you just keep celebrating it. That's great.

[00:03:24] Bruce Anthony: Well, because this year I didn't just say, Hey, everybody, I'm celebrating my birthday on this day. Just [00:03:30] come on through because that's just too much stress for me. But then again, everybody still wants to see me or do something with me on my birthday.

[00:03:36] J. Aundrea: Yeah.

[00:03:37] Bruce Anthony: So that's a lot of stress too. So, I mean, I don't know which one is winning for me.

[00:03:44] Bruce Anthony: But I did have a good time last Saturday and got drunk. They stayed sober and I was like, okay, you know, stay sober. That's what you want to do. But they kept complimenting me on, they hadn't seen me in like a month.

[00:03:57] J. Aundrea: Mm hmm.

[00:03:57] Bruce Anthony: and this kind of like lean out phase.

[00:03:59] J. Aundrea: [00:04:00] Okay.

[00:04:00] Bruce Anthony: they didn't see me in a month and they were like, you look great.

[00:04:02] Bruce Anthony: Don't look your age. And I'm like, okay, y'all both love me. So that's. That's, you know, coming from you guys, right? Okay.

[00:04:10] J. Aundrea: okay. So let me just put this into perspective.

[00:04:13] Bruce Anthony: Yes.

[00:04:15] J. Aundrea: Red Fox,

[00:04:17] Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Okay. Don't compare me to

[00:04:20] J. Aundrea: Sanford and

[00:04:21] Bruce Anthony: Fox.

[00:04:22] J. Aundrea: on Sanford and Son, was

[00:04:24] Bruce Anthony: Yes. Okay. Yes. It's four years older than what I am right now. [00:04:30] Yes. Okay. In that perspective, from somebody that was doing a show in the 70s, but okay. I take the compliment. Right. Oh, I take the compliment. Millennials, Gen Xers, whatever I am, aging well. I'm, I'm aging well. Okay. Do I, do I feel like I look my age?

[00:04:54] Bruce Anthony: No, but I don't feel like I look that far off from my age.[00:05:00] 

[00:05:00] J. Aundrea: Yeah.

[00:05:00] Bruce Anthony: Let's put it that way.

[00:05:01] J. Aundrea: way about myself. Yeah.

[00:05:03] Bruce Anthony: No, you look like 10 years younger. Anyway. So I'm feeling good about myself. They leave and I don't have anything to do. So I go out down the road to get some dinner and I come back and it's late. It's probably about for me late.

[00:05:18] Bruce Anthony: It's probably like 10 o'clock at night, nine 30, 10 o'clock. That's late. And I am drunk, drunk. So I get on the elevator in my building and one of my neighbors is older black man. He's got a mean ass pit bull. And when I say [00:05:30] me like. Every time he's walking and he's like, Hey, hey, man, don't get too close. I'm like, Hey, hey, man, train your dog.

[00:05:36] J. Aundrea: Right.

[00:05:37] Bruce Anthony: Like you're giving pit bulls a bad name. Pit bulls are very gentle, loving creatures if you raise them right.

[00:05:46] J. Aundrea: You raised them that way.

[00:05:49] Bruce Anthony: So. I would say that he's mid fifties, maybe late fifties.

[00:05:56] J. Aundrea: Okay.

[00:05:57] Bruce Anthony: he was like, seems like you've been celebrating. I was like, yeah, you know, I was out with my [00:06:00] bestie and my goddaughter. We was out celebrating. Oh, what we all celebrating. I was like, Oh man, it was my birthday a couple of weeks ago. He looks me dead in the eye and says, Oh yeah.

[00:06:09] Bruce Anthony: What you about 43. I looked at him and I wanted to say, sir, don't be guessing my exact age.

[00:06:16] J. Aundrea: Right.

[00:06:16] Bruce Anthony: don't,

[00:06:17] J. Aundrea: Right.

[00:06:18] Bruce Anthony: don't, don't, don't do that. Don't I felt so good. I'd felt so good a couple of weeks ago.

[00:06:24] J. Aundrea: if he thought he was under

[00:06:27] Bruce Anthony: Right,

[00:06:28] J. Aundrea: it

[00:06:28] Bruce Anthony: right,

[00:06:29] J. Aundrea: better.

[00:06:29] Bruce Anthony: [00:06:30] right,

[00:06:31] J. Aundrea: sir,

[00:06:32] Bruce Anthony: sir.

[00:06:32] J. Aundrea: that.

[00:06:33] Bruce Anthony: I was feeling so good a couple of weeks ago. Maybe not a couple of weeks ago. Maybe it was a couple of months ago.

[00:06:37] Bruce Anthony: I ran into very, very attractive woman walking the dog and we just keep passing each other each week. I think I told you the story, but the audience doesn't know. We kept passing each other each week. Very attractive. Very fit. was complimenting me. She was like, there's no way that you are in your mid forties.

[00:06:55] Bruce Anthony: And I was like, yeah, no, I'm, I'm in my mid forties. You look great. So I'm getting these compliments that you look [00:07:00] great. And then I got this dude.

[00:07:02] J. Aundrea: Right.

[00:07:02] Bruce Anthony: on the elevator. What'd you about 43? And I just said, well, 44, but yes. And I was like, it just ruined my high.

[00:07:10] J. Aundrea: Yeah,

[00:07:10] Bruce Anthony: was on cloud nine and then I just sat, I sat in the shower and it was like that song, everybody hurts sometimes.

[00:07:17] J. Aundrea: yes,

[00:07:18] Bruce Anthony: I was like, this sucks. This sucks.

[00:07:21] J. Aundrea: to yourself under

[00:07:22] Bruce Anthony: Well, I mean, I wasn't crying, but I, I did. Don't sing it. Don't sing it. [00:07:30] Don't sing it. We might get flagged by YouTube. You can't do that type of stuff.

[00:07:34] J. Aundrea: sung two words.

[00:07:35] Bruce Anthony: They, some, we got a cop, we got a video taken down because they said, yes, because they said that we use some song and I was like, no, we didn't.

[00:07:44] Bruce Anthony: And so I'm fighting with them and YouTube to get the video back up.

[00:07:49] J. Aundrea: Okay, so we can sing melodies as long as we make up our own words, cuz

[00:07:53] Bruce Anthony: I guess so. I guess so.

[00:07:56] J. Aundrea: do that in a minute.

[00:07:57] Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Well, I don't know.

[00:07:59] J. Aundrea: Yeah,[00:08:00] 

[00:08:00] Bruce Anthony: don't know. But this man, guess my whole, it was one of those situations where you ever been in the shower and you put your hand on your hand on the wall and you just let the water just hit the back of your head. It was one of those

[00:08:12] J. Aundrea: what I was talking about.

[00:08:13] Bruce Anthony: but I wasn't crying.

[00:08:15] Bruce Anthony: I wasn't crying though. Cause I'm not that sad.

[00:08:17] J. Aundrea: Inside.

[00:08:18] Bruce Anthony: And yeah, on inside. Yeah. You know, but I I'll, I'll do this. If women are telling me that I look young and an older man is [00:08:30] saying, you look your age, I'm just going to take the women's, uh, compliments. Cause that's all that matters. Well,

[00:08:39] J. Aundrea: That's your target audience anyway.

[00:08:41] Bruce Anthony: I haven't, I don't think the audience knows the story of what got me in shape in the first place.

[00:08:48] J. Aundrea: No.

[00:08:48] Bruce Anthony: Okay. So I was dating this woman and I had been dating her for three years.

[00:08:54] J. Aundrea: Okay.

[00:08:55] Bruce Anthony: And she told me like, Hey, you're starting to gain weight. Cause I was in my mid [00:09:00] twenties now. And you know, I wasn't working out anymore. And the weight just starts to pick up. She was like, Hey, you're starting to gain weight. I wasn't listening to her because not only was she still with me, I was still getting all this interest from other women.

[00:09:12] Bruce Anthony: So I was like, I'm not tripping off of this. I must not be that bad if I'm getting all this attention. There was a older gentleman that was a host for the restaurant that she worked at,

[00:09:25] J. Aundrea: Okay.

[00:09:26] Bruce Anthony: uh, older gay gentlemen, very distinguished one, Ashcott every day, [00:09:30] even during the summertime.

[00:09:30] J. Aundrea: now. Yes,

[00:09:31] Bruce Anthony: And, and he said to me, Bruce, you turned into a little chunky monkey.

[00:09:37] Bruce Anthony: I said, what? He said, you gain in some weight at that moment.

[00:09:42] J. Aundrea: Yeah.

[00:09:42] Bruce Anthony: I hit the gym because I was like, all right. I'll be, it's okay. I'm still getting interest from women, but I'll be damn if not, everybody's telling me that I look good. Okay.

[00:09:57] J. Aundrea: all the groups.

[00:09:58] Bruce Anthony: I got to get praise from [00:10:00] all the groups. Even if I'm not a part of that community, I need to get praise from everybody.

[00:10:04] Bruce Anthony: He called me a chunky monkey and I immediately gotten to the second best shape I'd ever gotten into my life. The best shape I got into was a couple of years ago, but the second best shape I ever got into my life.

[00:10:17] J. Aundrea: Well, yeah, I mean, I feel like that hits you right in your soul when a gay man in an ascot tells you something disparaging about yourself. You'd be like, Oh,

[00:10:26] Bruce Anthony: Yeah, cause it was so

[00:10:27] J. Aundrea: that time, you know, [00:10:30] a friend of a friend said, well, John is a friendly. I still think about that

[00:10:35] Bruce Anthony: Yo, that has been stuck in your crawl ever since that happened

[00:10:39] J. Aundrea: Because it's true and I feel called out and I don't like it. And it's like, I'm not disputing it. I've just wanted to know why you had to call me out like that. Absolutely

[00:10:52] Bruce Anthony: person to come to your birthday party

[00:10:56] J. Aundrea: not. I, [00:11:00] absolutely not. No, I mean, actually maybe, um, yeah, actually maybe might be there. So

[00:11:08] Bruce Anthony: All right, we we didn't laugh

[00:11:11] J. Aundrea: yes. Yes.

[00:11:11] Bruce Anthony: let's talk about something serious this is the worst the worst segue

[00:11:16] J. Aundrea: Yeah. Yeah. There's no easy way to talk about it anyway, so.

[00:11:20] Bruce Anthony: No, there isn't you want to, you want to run through this or you want me to run through all the particulars?

[00:11:27] J. Aundrea: Yeah, you go, I mean, you already got it written down and [00:11:30] everything.

[00:11:30] Okay. 

[00:11:31] Serious Discussion: The Shooting of Sonja Massey
---

[00:11:31] Bruce Anthony: Sonja Mas ey was a 36 year old was a 36 year old black American woman who lived in Springfield, Illinois. She was fatally shot in her home by deputy Sean Grayson of Sagamon County Sheriff's office. On July 6, 2024, on the day of the incident, Sonya called 9 1 1 to report a possible intruder.

[00:11:59] Bruce Anthony: [00:12:00] Sean Grayson and another deputy responded to our house. The situation escalated rapidly when Grayson yelled at Maisley over moving a pot of boiling water from the stove to the sink. He then threatened to shoot her in the face and screamed at her to drop the pot. The body cam footage shows Maisley fired at her three times, including a fatal shot to the head.

[00:12:20] Bruce Anthony: For He, 30 years old from Riverton, has pleaded not guilty to charges of first degree murder, aggravated battery, [00:12:30] and official misconduct. He remains in custody without bail. The graphic video was released on the Illinois State Police YouTube channel and has sparked national outrage. The U. S. Department of Justice has opened an investigation into the shooting.

[00:12:44] Bruce Anthony: Of course, Ben Crump. Has joined into the fray. Just a side. I'm tired of Ben jumping in everything we don't need. He, he don't need to be in everything.

[00:12:56] J. Aundrea: he is a civil rights attorney. He is one of the [00:13:00] most prominent ones.

[00:13:01] Bruce Anthony: No, he's the most prominent one. Jump in.

[00:13:04] J. Aundrea: to,

[00:13:04] Bruce Anthony: Because he, because he's in everything. Can we spread it around a little bit?

[00:13:10] J. Aundrea: you know, there, there's always like a leading sort of figure in these,

[00:13:17] Bruce Anthony: But there's enough of these shootings where we can spread it out to other prominent lawyers. He ain't the only one. But anyway, that's just my little, that's not my little thing.

[00:13:26] J. Aundrea: Mm hmm. Mm

[00:13:29] Bruce Anthony: Sonia was a [00:13:30] mother of two children, 17 and 15. Her family, including her teenage son, mother, uncle, have spoken out about the incident.

[00:13:37] Bruce Anthony: But here's Sean Grayson's background. He's all. He's had a history of alcohol abuse and has worked for six different police agencies since 2020. It is currently we're in the middle. Of 2024.

[00:13:54] J. Aundrea: Yes.

[00:13:54] Bruce Anthony: So it's not a full four years. It's 20 20, 20 21, [00:14:00] 20 23, 20. I mean 20 22, 20 23, and then 20 half of 20, 24. So I guess three and a half, four and a half years.

[00:14:08] Bruce Anthony: Uh, but like we we're not through with the year. And he's already worked for six different police agencies. Currently he's held in jail until his trial. The county George judge agreed with the prosecutors that he's at risk to the community and was not released and deemed a community threat in the [00:14:30] pretrial.

[00:14:31] Bruce Anthony: He remains without bond. I mean, this court case, I think is, was 2 PM today, Thursday, July the 25th. He's got 5 counts, including 3 charges of 1st degree murder.

[00:14:44] J. Aundrea: Mm hmm.

[00:14:46] Bruce Anthony: He here's some other information about his backstory. He was discharged from the U. S army for serious misconduct.

[00:14:52] J. Aundrea: Yeah.

[00:14:53] Bruce Anthony: Employment history includes short stints as a part time officer at three small police departments in Illinois and a full time [00:15:00] employment at one police department and two sheriff offices.

[00:15:03] Bruce Anthony: He's twice pled guilty to driving under the influence of alcohol, uh, before he began working in law enforcement. So that's the whole story. If you've seen the video,

[00:15:15] J. Aundrea: I have not because I,

[00:15:18] Bruce Anthony: I,

[00:15:18] J. Aundrea: like a lot of us, it's, I don't need to see it to know what happened.

[00:15:23] Bruce Anthony: I saw the video up until the end point. And then I saw the aftermath, no remorse [00:15:30] care, care, you could care less. He took a life originally called because they thought that there was an intruder in their life. And if you watch the video, he walks in hostile

[00:15:46] J. Aundrea: Yes.

[00:15:47] Bruce Anthony: when she's, The person calling for help. He walked in hostile.

[00:15:53] Bruce Anthony: And when people was like, well, he told her she had the boiling pot and water. She didn't start there. She was sitting in the kitchen table. He [00:16:00] told her to remove the pot of boiling water from the stove.

[00:16:05] J. Aundrea: Yeah.

[00:16:05] Bruce Anthony: when she started removing it, he started threatening her, she's dropping the pot on the ground and putting her hands up saying, okay, okay, I'm just dropping on the ground, dropping on the ground and he shoots her

[00:16:18] J. Aundrea: Yeah.

[00:16:19] Bruce Anthony: so,

[00:16:21] J. Aundrea: He could have easily just, I don't know, taken two, three steps back.

[00:16:27] Bruce Anthony: or use this taser.

[00:16:29] J. Aundrea: He could have [00:16:30] used his taser. But honestly, he could have just stepped back or he could, I, I, I, she was complying. With what he was telling her to do.

[00:16:41] Bruce Anthony: Yes.

[00:16:45] J. Aundrea: It's not even really clear why they were in the house in the first place. When they first got there and had explained that she thought that there was an intruder. They went and looked [00:17:00] around the outside of the home. Um, and then it. And then they go inside, not even 100 percent sure why they go inside, because it

[00:17:10] Bruce Anthony: I guess maybe the check and see if the intruder. If you check the perimeter, maybe you check and see maybe the intruder got into the home. Maybe you do a sweep of the home just in case.

[00:17:21] J. Aundrea: okay, it seemed like they were, she was wrapping it up, and then they came inside the house,

[00:17:29] Bruce Anthony: Yeah, she [00:17:30] was literally sitting at the kitchen table when he became hostile. Like I watched the video and then I guess the pot started boiling because she was boiling water on the stove, maybe making herself something to eat. And he told her, Hey, you know, need to address this. And she goes over there and then he starts wiling out and she's like,

[00:17:51] J. Aundrea: because

[00:17:52] Bruce Anthony: the pot on the ground and, and, and she's like, I'm not doing anything.

[00:17:55] Bruce Anthony: I'm not doing okay. I'm putting the pot on the ground or hands up. And he shoots her three times. And [00:18:00] so

[00:18:02] J. Aundrea: it's,

[00:18:02] Bruce Anthony: you watch the aftermath of the video, everybody, he's trying to make excuses. Uh, you know, she was throwing a pot on me. No, she wasn't. She wasn't. And even, even the other deputy that was there was kind of giving him the side eye, but you know, that blue wall, they're going to make, well, I don't know, cause they released this video.

[00:18:24] Bruce Anthony: So maybe not.

[00:18:26] J. Aundrea: I think. Whenever there's a [00:18:30] police involved shooting, there's an investigation, uh, probably involved in eternal affairs.

[00:18:36] Bruce Anthony: Yeah. I mean, yes, you always have there. I mean, we know that from television.

[00:18:40] J. Aundrea: that body cam footage, he was immediately fired. And then the footage was released

[00:18:45] Bruce Anthony: Was he immediately fired?

[00:18:47] J. Aundrea: He was fired. Uh, he was, he's, he's been fired from Sagamon County Sheriff's department.

[00:18:54] Bruce Anthony: Okay.

[00:18:56] J. Aundrea: Which noted that, and this is in Vox's reporting, [00:19:00] quote, it's clear that the deputy did not act as trained or in accordance with our standards, the state prosecutor, the state prosecutor also cited an expert. Who describes the act as comparable to quote an officer intentionally and unnecessarily putting himself in front of a moving vehicle and then justifying use of force because of fear of being struck. And that's exactly what it is. You told her to get the pot. [00:19:30] She went and got the pot and you shot her in the face for it. Right.

[00:19:34] Bruce Anthony: So we're going to get, clickbait. Cause at some point this will be clipped. This is going to get clickbait. And people are going to say, well, he jumped in the video. She had to throw it to him and there was water on the floor. Yeah. There is water on the floor because she was shot in the face as she's putting water as she's putting the pot down, which means she didn't put the pot down.

[00:19:57] Bruce Anthony: The pot fell over. So of course there's going to be water all over the [00:20:00] floor. And I believe that he jumped. The reason why that he was terminated, Right. Because if she did throw boiling hot water at him, he would have been justified somewhat. That's that

[00:20:10] J. Aundrea: For lethal force? I don't think so.

[00:20:12] Bruce Anthony: you would have been justified in a, no, I said somewhat, he would have been justified in a sort of defense that still would have been too far, but at least there was some causation to make him respond.

[00:20:27] Bruce Anthony: Right.

[00:20:27] J. Aundrea: yeah, if the situation was [00:20:30] they came in the house and she went and got this boiling pot of water and was threatening them with it, okay, you could leave the house, that's number one, but, uh, you don't have to be there, you can leave. Or you can tase her. If you do pull your service weapon, you don't need to, exact lethal or deadly force. You could have hit her in the arm, in the arm, in the leg or [00:21:00] something.

[00:21:00] Bruce Anthony: Well, they say it's too to kill. But when I was

[00:21:03] J. Aundrea: are a lot of things that could have been done.

[00:21:07] Bruce Anthony: I agree, but I'm trying to jump ahead of the clickbait people that are going to say, well, he jumped back in the video. Yeah. I mean, if you shoot somebody, you're going to jump back. Yeah, he jumped back and he got, well, he got agitated because she said, I'm going to rebuke you in the name of the Lord because she was getting hostile to her and, and the way she said it was how black people, [00:21:30] man, I rebuke you in the name of the Lord.

[00:21:31] Bruce Anthony: She didn't, there was no threatening manner

[00:21:36] J. Aundrea: Right.

[00:21:36] Bruce Anthony: from her. And this entire video and she complied anybody defending this cop officer, uh, this cop officer, this police officer, I'm gonna just say it. You're a racist. That's, that's the only, that's the only defense that I'm going to give because they don't get no more clear than this.

[00:21:55] Bruce Anthony: This is George Floyd. This is worse than George Floyd. Actually,

[00:21:58] J. Aundrea: Yeah.

[00:21:59] Bruce Anthony: this is [00:22:00] worse than George Floyd, actually. So there's been all types of Kind of protest and it remember her name post on social media and when we should and it looks like this guy It seems like this guy's gonna get his justice, but is it justice?

[00:22:17] J. Aundrea: No,

[00:22:18] Bruce Anthony: Is it

[00:22:18] J. Aundrea: Massey is still, is still not here. Her children are still without a mother.

[00:22:25] Bruce Anthony: her father without a daughter? Her father is still alive She was only 36 years old

[00:22:29] J. Aundrea: Yeah.[00:22:30] 

[00:22:30] Bruce Anthony: 36 we both older than 36

[00:22:33] J. Aundrea: Yes.

[00:22:35] Bruce Anthony: me by a lot you by just a little bit But like, that's super young

[00:22:40] J. Aundrea: Yeah. Um, the, the, the organization for mapping police violence. Reported that in 2023, police killed more than 1300 people, which was a new record. The same data set out, uh, the same data set found that black [00:23:00] people were almost three times more likely to be killed by police than white people. Yeah.

[00:23:06] Bruce Anthony: let's, let's put this for all the Trump supporters out there because he's running on, he just did it at one of his rallies the other day, running on complete immunity for cops. Um, yes, black people are way more likely to get shot by the cops than, than most other people. But not [00:23:30] everybody that gets shot by the cops are black people.

[00:23:32] Bruce Anthony: White people out there getting shot by the cops too. So this, this, this can happen. There have been cases that are very similar to this for white people. I can't remember the case and somebody on YouTube will correct me, but it was a case, I want to say in Connecticut, but it probably wasn't Connecticut.

[00:23:49] Bruce Anthony: It was maybe four or five years ago, similar situation, a woman called for help by the police officers. White woman called for help by the police officers and she was shot in an alley. [00:24:00] Or shot in the street, after calling for help. So this happens and those people that are supporting Trump who is calling for immunity, no accountability for cops.

[00:24:11] Bruce Anthony: And mind you, lawyers have to go to school to learn the law for four years and then pass a test three to four years and then pass a test before they can practice law. Why is it that a police Academy is only six months? [00:24:30] Maybe they should be going to school. And getting every police officer should have a criminal justice degree.

[00:24:36] Bruce Anthony: Get a four year education. I had to go to school for four years to get a teaching degree, to get a teachings, to get a teaching degree. Why can't cops go to school for that long to learn how to properly be cops? This dude has had six different departments in four years.

[00:24:53] J. Aundrea: Yeah. it's been charged twice for DUI.

[00:24:57] Bruce Anthony: Now granted that was before he was a cop, but he [00:25:00] was allowed to become a cop to something like that.

[00:25:03] J. Aundrea: but where, like, if, if somebody, where's the background check?

[00:25:09] Bruce Anthony: They didn't care about it. They didn't care about it. They didn't care about it. He looked like he, he looked like he made a couple of mistakes, but that you're a good person now and you, you, you've changed.

[00:25:20] J. Aundrea: six different law enforcement agencies. And just like you said, he was discharged from the military due to misconduct.

[00:25:28] Bruce Anthony: He's a bad apple.

[00:25:29] J. Aundrea: [00:25:30] history, there is a, there is a trend there somebody with a disregard for proper conduct.

[00:25:43] Bruce Anthony: Yeah. That's, that's what, yeah. That's what that means.

[00:25:45] J. Aundrea: Why is this person allowed to uphold and enforce the law?

[00:25:53] Bruce Anthony: Yeah. I don't know.

[00:25:55] J. Aundrea: Um,

[00:25:55] Bruce Anthony: would think they would do psychological. Okay.

[00:25:58] J. Aundrea: Sorry.

[00:25:59] Bruce Anthony: would do [00:26:00] deeper psychological evaluations if he's been, and I don't know the specifics of people being discharged from the military due to misconduct. I'd like, I don't know like what degrees misconduct actually means, but if you've been discharged from protecting the country, how can you still protect the citizens?

[00:26:27] Bruce Anthony: Okay. That just don't make no sense to me. [00:26:30] It seems like protecting the country is a more important, I mean, it's all important, it's all important, but as far as the, the, the hierarchy of what needs to be protected country citizens, like we need to defend our country. And then you defend the citizens. Seems like being in the military is more important to being a police officer.

[00:26:51] Bruce Anthony: I don't know, just my personal opinion. So it seems like if you're not good enough to be in the military to fight for our country, that [00:27:00] you shouldn't be good enough to defend its citizens.

[00:27:06] J. Aundrea: the Massey family, they are calling for an investigation into the Sheriff's Department's hiring of Grayson. Okay, go ahead. so we'll see what, what happens, uh, as far as that's concerned. I do hope that this gentleman Grayson, that he faces the ultimate consequences, [00:27:30] whatever that may be for that state for Illinois, for the very obvious, very blatant murder of Sonia Massey. Um, there's really no way to equivocate. What I hate seeing online is a bunch of clout chasing ass people, sorry I said ass, but a bunch of clout chasing ass people who think [00:28:00] being contrary that you're intelligent. It doesn't. Contrary only means that you're being contrary. It doesn't make you smarter.

[00:28:12] J. Aundrea: It doesn't mean that you're a quote unquote free thinker, any of that. That's not what being contrary is. It's just you are deviating from what is commonly held, a commonly held belief. what is obvious in here is that, what's obvious in the story is that Sonia Massey was [00:28:30] murdered in her home for calling the police for help. Through no fault of her own. And so any of y'all out here on social media making these videos talking about it might have been a justified killing and all of that stuff, especially the black folks that I see doing this, especially the black women that I see doing this shame on you. And I seriously hope, I seriously hope and pray you never find your position yourself in a position of knowing [00:29:00] somebody who's become a hashtag. There is a family behind this woman. There was a life that she was meant to live that was taken away from her. As soon as she came to the door, her first words out of her mouth was, Don't hurt me. Because she already knew what was up. She already knew how dangerous it was for her to call the police. Every ti I have probably called the [00:29:30] police to my house maybe twice in my life. Every time, I am nervous until that officer leaves. And I'm calling for help, so I don't, I All of that, all of that, cause you looking for clicks so that you can monetize your stuff? Shame. Shame on you. And you do need to get out here and apologize. [00:30:00] For putting monetary gain for putting greed. ahead of somebody's life. That's all I have to say about that. 

[00:30:09] 

[00:30:16] Transition to Politics: Kamala and Joe
---

[00:30:16] Bruce Anthony: All right, Jay, we're going to transition from a very dark and sad story of a black woman to a very light, hopeful story [00:30:30] of a black woman.

[00:30:31] J. Aundrea: And I would like to say that if you are, especially, especially as Black women out here and you're feeling sorrow that You naturally feel for Sonia Massey, and then next to the joy you feel for Kamala Harris is, is, I feel you and it's okay. okay that both those emotions [00:31:00] exist, you know, take your time and absorb whatever information you feel like you can absorb.

[00:31:07] J. Aundrea: But love how active and activated. Y'all are vice president Harris. It gives me so much hope. Sorry. Go ahead and talk about what you was talking about. I, I have felt so energized Sunday. You tell, you tell me what, what [00:31:30] else we got to look forward to.

[00:31:31] Bruce Anthony: All right. Well, well, before we get to madam vice president, let's first salute our current president for his speech that he gave yesterday.

[00:31:44] J. Aundrea: 10

[00:31:45] Bruce Anthony: I call him.

[00:31:45] J. Aundrea: for, for, uh, Joe Biden, for president Joe Biden.

[00:31:49] Bruce Anthony: I call him Joey beans.

[00:31:51] J. Aundrea: You

[00:31:51] Bruce Anthony: He don't know me, but if I met him, I'd be like, just so you know, I call you president Joey beans. And he'd be like, [00:32:00] I don't know, it might stick. And I was like, I'm a, I think it sticks. You want to be down?

[00:32:04] J. Aundrea: I,

[00:32:05] Bruce Anthony: then you'd be like, let's, let's take a shot at tequila. He recently addressed the nation from the Oval Office, marking his first public remarks since ending his campaign for the second term in this address, he stated that the best way forward is to pass the torch to the new generation.

[00:32:21] Bruce Anthony: He's decided to focus on Supreme Court reform in the final six months of his presidency. His decision to bow out the race came after [00:32:30] escalating pressure from his Democratic allies. This is true. We probably won't know the full story of why he came to this decision. Maybe he'll write it in his presidential memoir.

[00:32:41] J. Aundrea: Yeah.

[00:32:42] Bruce Anthony: Probably won't. Maybe hopefully, you know, I'm 44. I think I'm gonna make it to 75. Hopefully by the time I make it to 75. The truth to come out about everything behind the scenes, the reason why he decided to give up the office, but what he did do, what I thought was [00:33:00] dope where he was like, look, everything that I've done in office, everything that I accomplished warrants.

[00:33:07] Bruce Anthony: a second term. However,

[00:33:10] J. Aundrea: Mm hmm.

[00:33:11] Bruce Anthony: it's time for some new blood. It's time for some youthful voices. It's time for the old guard to step away and the new guard to step forward. And he did it with grace.

[00:33:24] J. Aundrea: Yeah.

[00:33:26] Bruce Anthony: He did it as a president [00:33:30] and his legacy will always be from here on out. He put country before himself. So before we talk about madam vice president, democratic nominee for president of the United States, I want to tip my hat to president Joey beans and his political career, not all great, but way more good

[00:33:57] J. Aundrea: Yeah.

[00:33:58] Bruce Anthony: than any of the bad.

[00:33:59] Bruce Anthony: Anybody [00:34:00] out there that was talking about, well, what did he do? I'm not going to run through the accomplishments, a quick Google search of all the legislation that they passed. He's actually passed more legislation in the four years than almost any other president.

[00:34:13] J. Aundrea: Yeah.

[00:34:14] Bruce Anthony: They've been doing work

[00:34:17] J. Aundrea: A

[00:34:17] Bruce Anthony: way more than what the person that, yeah, way.

[00:34:21] Bruce Anthony: And for you, Trump supporters way more than what Trump ever did. I don't know what he did. He did do criminal justice reform. He played golf a lot. He played golf a little bit. [00:34:30] He did do, you know, Kim K pushed him to do criminal justice reform. You know, so he did I'll give him that and his brother in law got two billion from the Saudis Oh, we can't talk about that.

[00:34:40] Bruce Anthony: Nevermind. Let's, let's move on.

[00:34:41] J. Aundrea: that. Let's move on.

[00:34:43] Bruce Anthony: But yeah, you said, uh, uh, but go ahead. Give me your thoughts on Joey beans.

[00:34:47] J. Aundrea: There's a, um, a very wistful article written about his first of probably many farewells. You know, he's got six months [00:35:00] left in office and I assume this is him political life. But in the Washington Post, it says the man who entered political life as one of the youngest US senators in history to terms with leaving as the nation's oldest president in history.

[00:35:19] J. Aundrea: And kind of thinking about that. And the fact that this man has had 50 years of public service, is really incredible and I [00:35:30] definitely think he was one of our most successful presidents, especially, in recent times. And if you look at all of the things that he has done, I mean, he guided us. Through COVID, um, economic, I don't want to say collapse, but it ain't great economic fallout.

[00:35:52] J. Aundrea: You

[00:35:52] Bruce Anthony: And everybody's going to say inflation, inflation, realizing economic policies, take a while to kick in.

[00:35:58] J. Aundrea: also

[00:35:59] Bruce Anthony: [00:36:00] planting.

[00:36:00] J. Aundrea: due to corporate greed, not the government.

[00:36:03] Bruce Anthony: Yeah, it really, yeah, that's, that's the government.

[00:36:05] J. Aundrea: are seeing record profits and still raising prices. So

[00:36:09] Bruce Anthony: Yeah. If

[00:36:10] J. Aundrea: greed, not the

[00:36:11] Bruce Anthony: you stop ordering off of Amazon and target. com and Walmart. com, you'll see so many prices come down. That that's, that's kind of,

[00:36:18] J. Aundrea: Um, that makes

[00:36:19] Bruce Anthony: I'm not going to do it either. I'm ordering some stuff off of Amazon tonight.

[00:36:22] J. Aundrea: it's incredibly convenient. 

[00:36:24] Bruce Anthony: Convenient. 

[00:36:25] J. Aundrea: I will just not stop doing that,

[00:36:27] Bruce Anthony: Yeah, I know.

[00:36:28] J. Aundrea: um, I mean, it's gotta be [00:36:30] so, it's, boy, it's gotta be something egregious, I can't, it's so, so convenient. And there's just that little bit of excitement you get when a package comes in the mail and you

[00:36:41] Bruce Anthony: Oh,

[00:36:42] J. Aundrea: to open it up, the

[00:36:43] Bruce Anthony: I run downstairs.

[00:36:44] J. Aundrea: Love it. I love

[00:36:45] Bruce Anthony: And I love it when multiple you order stuff and then they don't deliver all the packages at one time and it comes in multiple deliveries throughout the day. It's just like, Oh, it's Christmas!

[00:36:55] J. Aundrea: Yeah.

[00:36:56] Bruce Anthony: I order? Some staples. Okay, well I got some staples.[00:37:00] 

[00:37:00] J. Aundrea: Well, the. You know, his speech, basically he passes the torch on to Vice President Harris as his successor. And he does what I wish a lot of people in Democratic Party, especially the ones who were raising their hands, talking about he needs to drop out of the race and looking at you, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, need to start looking for successors. Y'all need to start, y'all, y'all need to start looking for successors. Like who have [00:37:30] you been mentoring? This entire time to take over for you and to pass the torch

[00:37:36] Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

[00:37:36] J. Aundrea: y'all all the same age

[00:37:40] Bruce Anthony: They are, really. They're old as hell.

[00:37:42] J. Aundrea: so and if you

[00:37:45] Bruce Anthony: Well, Hakeem Jeffries, Nancy kinda stepped aside and Hakeem Jeffries is now, you know,

[00:37:51] J. Aundrea: yeah,

[00:37:51] Bruce Anthony: the top dog in, in,

[00:37:53] J. Aundrea: keep on keep

[00:37:55] Bruce Anthony: I,

[00:37:55] J. Aundrea: more one or two more steps to the side

[00:37:58] Bruce Anthony: I, who's gonna step, who's gonna step, [00:38:00] who's gonna take the charge for this? Anyway.

[00:38:02] J. Aundrea: Exactly. That's the point.

[00:38:04] Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

[00:38:05] J. Aundrea: has she been in public service II you didn't mentor anybody to

[00:38:09] Bruce Anthony: Well, maybe she mentored Hakeem Jeffries. Maybe that's, maybe that was her passing torch. I don't know. I don't, I don't know Hakeem Jeffries and Nancy Pelosi's personal, I mean, wasn't he the minority whip? What is that? What is it called? Huh?

[00:38:24] J. Aundrea: He earned that spot. So what's the,

[00:38:26] Bruce Anthony: Yeah. So maybe she was like, all right, man. She, she did say, all right, [00:38:30] it's my time.

[00:38:30] Bruce Anthony: I'm just saying she stepped aside. The only one left is Chucky.

[00:38:34] J. Aundrea: it feels like Stones and Glass Houses.

[00:38:39] Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Well, you know, man.

[00:38:40] J. Aundrea: Pot calling the kettle.

[00:38:42] Bruce Anthony: Well, no, not really. Cause she did step aside from her leadership.

[00:38:45] J. Aundrea: It's giving, but she said she's running for re election in 2024. Why?

[00:38:50] Bruce Anthony: Maybe there's nobody in her district.

[00:38:52] J. Aundrea: And again, whose fault is that?

[00:38:55] Bruce Anthony: I don't know. Maybe people in the district. Ain't really that bright. Hey, look, sometimes [00:39:00] what's your district right now? If you was running in your district, can you name any of your neighbors that you could groom and be like groom? I don't like the word groom. Um,

[00:39:08] J. Aundrea: groom.

[00:39:08] Bruce Anthony: I don't like groom, uh, prepare.

[00:39:11] J. Aundrea: Mm hmm.

[00:39:11] Bruce Anthony: To take over when you're gone meant, okay.

[00:39:14] Bruce Anthony: Mentor ain't much different than grooming.

[00:39:17] J. Aundrea: No,

[00:39:17] Bruce Anthony: There's just a,

[00:39:18] J. Aundrea: very, very different from the implication of grooming.

[00:39:22] Bruce Anthony: well, that's only because grooming has gotten a bad connotation because of certain people. I mean, technically grooming [00:39:30] means taking care of oneself.

[00:39:32] J. Aundrea: That's one of the meanings of it,

[00:39:34] Bruce Anthony: Right. Yes. So I mean grooming has developed a negative connotation kind of like hmm I don't know woke woke is a good thing

[00:39:43] J. Aundrea: Yeah.

[00:39:44] Bruce Anthony: is a good thing, but when it's used negatively then

[00:39:48] J. Aundrea: soundbite didn't exist.

[00:39:51] Bruce Anthony: I'm talking about

[00:39:52] J. Aundrea: please

[00:39:53] Bruce Anthony: though

[00:39:54] J. Aundrea: cut that and post it online.

[00:39:57] Bruce Anthony: No, I'm just saying the original [00:40:00] intent of grooming is It was good.

[00:40:03] J. Aundrea: you are working so hard to be contrarian to everything I say, even though I think you agree with me that

[00:40:09] Bruce Anthony: I do agree with you.

[00:40:10] Debating the Meaning of Grooming
---

[00:40:10] J. Aundrea: twice, grooming is good. Mm hmm.

[00:40:14] Bruce Anthony: No, no, no. What I said was, is that it has a negative connotation. Now I corrected myself when saying it because of what the current negative connotation is now, but too often words are taken and [00:40:30] attached negative connotations when that was not the original intent. That's all I'm saying.

[00:40:34] J. Aundrea: that's the meaning now.

[00:40:36] Bruce Anthony: No, that's not, that's the meaning.

[00:40:38] Bruce Anthony: That's not the meaning now. That's what,

[00:40:40] J. Aundrea: of grooming now.

[00:40:43] Bruce Anthony: no, that's what people interpret it as, but that's not, is that in Webster's? Is that the definition of Webster's? What's the definition of Webster's? I see you looking it up right now.

[00:40:54] J. Aundrea: three.

[00:40:55] Bruce Anthony: Okay. Break them down for me.

[00:40:57] J. Aundrea: One, the practice of [00:41:00] brushing and cleaning the coat of a horse, dog, or other animal.

[00:41:04] Bruce Anthony: See, they're right there. That's good grooming, right?

[00:41:07] J. Aundrea: Two, the practice of preparing or training someone for a particular purpose or activity.

[00:41:13] Bruce Anthony: Boom. There you go. Right there. Right there. Okay.

[00:41:18] J. Aundrea: Okay, this is from the Oxford okay. The action of attempting to form a relationship with a child or young person with the intention of sexually [00:41:30] assaulting them or inducing them to commit an illegal act, such as selling drugs or joining a terrorist organization.

[00:41:37] Bruce Anthony: So obviously I meant to not.

[00:41:41] J. Aundrea: Yes. We, uh, we also know you don't mean brushing an animal or cleaning

[00:41:46] Bruce Anthony: Well, you know, I do miss, I do miss brushing Crippen.

[00:41:49] J. Aundrea: because

[00:41:49] Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

[00:41:50] J. Aundrea: my dogs

[00:41:50] Bruce Anthony: We go to the groomers. Yeah. So you could grooms

[00:41:54] J. Aundrea: I

[00:41:55] Bruce Anthony: groom adult. You can groom an adult.

[00:41:57] J. Aundrea: two, three minutes, we've said the [00:42:00] word groom much. There's a, there's a time and place to fight for being right.

[00:42:06] J. Aundrea: And in

[00:42:07] Bruce Anthony: I'm not fighting for being right.

[00:42:08] J. Aundrea: this

[00:42:09] Bruce Anthony: fighting for being right. I'm not fighting for being right. No, I'm not.

[00:42:11] J. Aundrea: are. There's

[00:42:12] Mentorship vs. Grooming
---

[00:42:12] Bruce Anthony: I said, Oh, I can't really say that word anymore, but I want to take that word back because in the three meanings, the second one. Explicitly explains what I am trying to convey,

[00:42:25] J. Aundrea: But when you have a word like mentor available, [00:42:30] you have so many words. available. The English language is full of words.

[00:42:35] Bruce Anthony: I'm not a linguist like yourself. I'm not a linguist like yourself. And I didn't think I meant to it. I mistakenly said groom and technically I am right, but

[00:42:49] J. Aundrea: Again,

[00:42:50] Bruce Anthony: to society, I am wrong. So I'm wrong. And right, right. And wrong. I'm all of it.

[00:42:58] J. Aundrea: had

[00:42:58] Bruce Anthony: Mentor. All [00:43:00] right. Anyway, in your neighborhood, it might not be anybody that you can mentor.

[00:43:03] Bruce Anthony: It might be a whole bunch of dumb asses.

[00:43:06] J. Aundrea: Why does it have to be in my neighborhood?

[00:43:08] Bruce Anthony: I'm just saying, theoretically, like maybe that's the reason why she hasn't found somebody in her district to mentor. She goes around and she's like, you ain't got it.

[00:43:16] J. Aundrea: That's ridiculous.

[00:43:18] Bruce Anthony: It's not ridiculous. 

[00:43:19] The State of Education and Social Media
---

[00:43:19] Bruce Anthony: Hey, look, I saw a meme the other day and I posted it on my Instagram stories and it was so true.

[00:43:25] Bruce Anthony: You remember back in the day when we was all in school and they had different class levels? [00:43:30] There was this. Now, did you extend that to Oh yeah. I said I'm stealing it. Right. Well, okay. The audience doesn't know what I'm talking about. There was three. Everybody had three class levels. When you were in school, there was an accelerated class for the smart kids.

[00:43:43] Bruce Anthony: There was the average class for the average kid kids, and then there was a below average class for the below average kids

[00:43:49] J. Aundrea: Mm

[00:43:49] Bruce Anthony: and social media. Is all those kids all in one system and we weren't all supposed to be in that one system. So in your [00:44:00] neighborhood, like in my, in my building that I live in, there's a lot of dumb ass people in here.

[00:44:05] Bruce Anthony: So there wouldn't be anybody in my building that I would peg to mentor.

[00:44:08] J. Aundrea: She has an entire district that she represents at the national level that has a local government. She

[00:44:15] Bruce Anthony: Yes.

[00:44:16] J. Aundrea: me of everybody in the local government,

[00:44:20] Bruce Anthony: Maybe it's not impressive.

[00:44:21] J. Aundrea: find, no, that's

[00:44:22] Bruce Anthony: Maybe it's not impressive. It's not ridiculous. It's a lot of people out here that should have been in below average classes out here in the streets.

[00:44:29] J. Aundrea: and [00:44:30] raised in her district to

[00:44:31] Bruce Anthony: I mean, that's true. That's true. You know what? We have gone way off tangent. Let's talk to, let's talk about Madam V. No, we have gone way off.

[00:44:41] Bruce Anthony: I want to talk about Madam VP.

[00:44:43] Discussing Madam VP
---

[00:44:43] J. Aundrea: Yes. Let's talk about it because I'm excited.

[00:44:47] Bruce Anthony: Yes. So she's, uh, she says she's ready to debate Donald Trump and he's been accused of backpedaling. He doesn't want to get questioned because he don't want that smoke. Democratic business leaders [00:45:00] and billionaires are endorsing her as the presidential nominee. She's already locked up the nominee.

[00:45:04] Bruce Anthony: She did that a couple of days ago. Um,

[00:45:07] J. Aundrea: Mm hmm.

[00:45:09] Bruce Anthony: She's getting support from political figures. She kicked off her political campaign in the battleground state of Wisconsin. She used her first rally since announcing her white house bid to contrast her record to Donald Trump's. If selected, Harris would be the first black woman in the first Asian American woman to lead the ticket to a major political party.

[00:45:28] Bruce Anthony: [00:45:30] You know, the convention's on the seventh. Everything should be going down. 

[00:45:34] Racial Undertones in Politics
---

[00:45:34] Bruce Anthony: Not everything is all, um, Rosie though, these Republicans, they're not even hiding their racism.

[00:45:40] J. Aundrea: Now, we got colored

[00:45:43] Bruce Anthony: Well, okay. So I watched that clip. I watched that clip.

[00:45:47] J. Aundrea: Mhm.

[00:45:48] Bruce Anthony: that person does not get the benefit of a doubt because he has said some race, let's just racially. egregious things before,

[00:45:59] J. Aundrea: Yes.[00:46:00] 

[00:46:00] Bruce Anthony: but I listened to it. I think he might've said college.

[00:46:05] J. Aundrea: No, he said a

[00:46:07] Bruce Anthony: No, no, you, everybody wants him to say color. I've listened, I've listened to it several times,

[00:46:13] J. Aundrea: the first listen of it, I didn't, I'm just scrolling through my timeline. I had not heard of the clip before. It was a first listen of a clip. Fresh ears. He said colored.

[00:46:25] Bruce Anthony: but did anything in that clip when you were listening to it, say he says color, [00:46:30] because if you read that, then you're going to hear that.

[00:46:33] J. Aundrea: No,

[00:46:34] Bruce Anthony: I was listening to here.

[00:46:36] J. Aundrea: the clip

[00:46:37] Bruce Anthony: I heard, I heard college. I don't want to give this guy the benefit of the doubt.

[00:46:41] J. Aundrea: saying, oh, I, I meant college. Either way, whether he said colored or college, he's wrong because the sorority is a lifetime sorority.

[00:46:50] Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

[00:46:50] J. Aundrea: it

[00:46:51] Bruce Anthony: Wait, I mean, he's an idiot. He's an idiot. He's an idiot. Um,

[00:46:56] Misogynoir and Kamala Harris
---

[00:46:56] J. Aundrea: that's obviously, this is just the tip of the [00:47:00] iceberg of the misogynoir that we're going to be bombarded with.

[00:47:03] J. Aundrea: But what people don't understand is that Black women from literally the day that we're born deal with a bombardment of misogynoir from all sides. And we are not new to this. And we don't give a damn.

[00:47:22] Bruce Anthony: okay. So let, let me get to this and an article in the AP it's gotten so bad with these racist dog whistles and some of these [00:47:30] Republicans are doing

[00:47:30] J. Aundrea: Yeah,

[00:47:31] Bruce Anthony: was a closed door meeting at the, uh, of the house of, uh, the house Republicans on Tuesday, the national Republican congressional committee chairman, Richard Hudson, who was Urge lawmakers to stick to criticizing Harris for her role in the Biden Harris administration and stop using these racial undertones.

[00:47:52] Bruce Anthony: Even Mike Johnson and what's the former house speaker? What's the former house speaker? Uh, and [00:48:00] McCarthy. They've been in the news saying, Hey, Hey, Hey. Let's stick to attacking her record. Let's stop with all these dog whistles and attacking her personality and just attack her policies. Um,

[00:48:15] The DEI Debate
---

[00:48:15] J. Aundrea: because you already got the old DEI hire.

[00:48:18] Bruce Anthony: well, I'm gonna get to that.

[00:48:20] J. Aundrea: yeah, okay.

[00:48:21] Bruce Anthony: Harriet Hegman said on national TV, intellectually, Just really kind of bottom of the [00:48:30] barrel. I think she was a D E I higher. So D I has now become No, it's now become affirmative action.

[00:48:45] J. Aundrea: which is again,

[00:48:47] Bruce Anthony: Well, yeah, yeah.

[00:48:48] J. Aundrea: they use it, if you're listening to it in a, we're very contextual people. If you're listening to it in context, you could easily Swap out D E I [00:49:00] for the N word

[00:49:01] Bruce Anthony: And you know, what's, you know, it's

[00:49:03] J. Aundrea: the sentiment would be still there.

[00:49:06] Bruce Anthony: right. And you know, what else is crazy? There are people on the internet saying she's not even black. I, you know what, ladies and gentlemen, like I said,

[00:49:15] J. Aundrea: mm.

[00:49:16] Bruce Anthony: is filled with a bunch of people that were in these below level classes and they mingling with us. And I don't really think you should, uh, I really think you should just shut up because you're not.

[00:49:29] Bruce Anthony: [00:49:30] Smart. Did you see the women that was on a panel in Wisconsin that, that were Trump supporters talking about vice president of Harris being the nominee

[00:49:41] J. Aundrea: Oh,

[00:49:41] Bruce Anthony: they were all saying the same thing. First of all,

[00:49:44] J. Aundrea: No.

[00:49:44] Bruce Anthony: if anybody's seen this clip, no disrespect to people that are, um, above average weight, but these women, huh?

[00:49:59] J. Aundrea: You can just say [00:50:00] fat.

[00:50:01] Bruce Anthony: Well, yeah, those chairs. Have you watched the video? Extra strong. I want to know where they got the chairs from. That's first and foremost. 

[00:50:10] J. Aundrea: Yeah. 

[00:50:10] Bruce Anthony: but they literally were questioning her intelligence

[00:50:14] J. Aundrea: Yes.

[00:50:15] Bruce Anthony: and saying what has she done? She doesn't seem that smart when collectively, and it was 10 of them up there. I feel like they had the combined I.

[00:50:23] Bruce Anthony: Q. Of 80.

[00:50:25] J. Aundrea: Well, even beyond something like that, uh, you're talking [00:50:30] to 10 women who literally have never heard. Kamala Harris speak.

[00:50:37] Bruce Anthony: No

[00:50:38] J. Aundrea: absolutely nothing about her. They know nothing about her record. She is at HU, that's Howard university, the real HU graduate. Uh,

[00:50:50] Bruce Anthony: Don't come at me.

[00:50:51] J. Aundrea: to law school at UC Hastings. She was. She was a district attorney. was a [00:51:00] a

[00:51:00] Bruce Anthony: Attorney General

[00:51:01] J. Aundrea: uh, uh, a trial prosecutor. So

[00:51:05] Bruce Anthony: Attorney General of California as well.

[00:51:07] J. Aundrea: she was attorney general, elected attorney general of California,

[00:51:13] Bruce Anthony: Senator.

[00:51:15] J. Aundrea: She became the U S Senator for California, the largest state in the And then to being, uh, uh, picked [00:51:30] and. Uh, to being nominated and then winning vice presidentship. The hell you talking about? That woman has done more since graduating college than any of the women that were being questioned on that panel.

[00:51:51] Bruce Anthony: One was a teacher. So maybe she got her master's degree.

[00:51:55] J. Aundrea: was the thing that set me off. Because you're a [00:52:00] school teacher?

[00:52:01] Bruce Anthony: Why ain't nothing wrong with being a school teacher. What'd you mean?

[00:52:03] J. Aundrea: no, no, no. had, you got on television and was ignorant.

[00:52:09] Bruce Anthony: Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:52:10] J. Aundrea: And you're a school, you are educating our

[00:52:14] Bruce Anthony: Well, it's a lot of, it's a lot of not, I'm telling you.

[00:52:19] J. Aundrea: say out your mouth, somebody is a DEI hire. I am

[00:52:22] Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

[00:52:23] J. Aundrea: for the little black and brown children in her class. Praying.

[00:52:29] Bruce Anthony: [00:52:30] probably lives in a district where there aren't a lot of black and brown people. I'm going to assume that she lives in a certain area in Wisconsin where,

[00:52:36] J. Aundrea: praying.

[00:52:37] Bruce Anthony: yeah, it's not a lot of black and brown people. She's not, she's not getting exposed to a lot of black and brown people. You know what really, you know what really surprised me?

[00:52:47] J. Aundrea: What's up?

[00:52:48] Bruce Anthony: How many of them were sitting down angry

[00:52:52] J. Aundrea: Yes.

[00:52:52] Bruce Anthony: at the thought?

[00:52:54] J. Aundrea: Furious.

[00:52:55] Bruce Anthony: Angry. Now, don't get me wrong. Trump makes me angry, [00:53:00] but if you sat down and if I was doing an interview and you asked me about Trump, I'm going to articulate it and not be angry in my articulation of why I disagree with his policies.

[00:53:13] J. Aundrea: it wouldn't feel like a personal grudge.

[00:53:17] Bruce Anthony: Yeah, I don't, I don't have any beef with him personally.

[00:53:21] J. Aundrea: I mean, I got a lot of beef with him personally.

[00:53:23] Bruce Anthony: Well, I,

[00:53:24] J. Aundrea: and a

[00:53:25] Bruce Anthony: personally, I mean, from, you know, him to him, I mean, him to him, you know, me [00:53:30] to me, I ain't never met the man personally. So, you know,

[00:53:33] J. Aundrea: But it's

[00:53:33] Bruce Anthony: personally, he

[00:53:37] J. Aundrea: people who use Affirmative Action Hire, DEI Hire, always give, which is the default. Is white male. I'm a white male, then when any space that I'm in, if it's in business or I'm an entrepreneur or medicine or law, whatever, I earned [00:54:00] my place there because I'm a white man and anybody who is there, who is not a white man have been given a leg up to get here because the only person that belongs in this space.

[00:54:14] J. Aundrea: Thanks. Now, mind you, coming from people who George W. Bush became president because his father was. Yeah. He became president because

[00:54:27] Bruce Anthony: was also a governor of Texas.

[00:54:29] J. Aundrea: Yeah. [00:54:30] Okay. He also got into, uh, where'd he go? Harvard? Yale? One of

[00:54:33] Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

[00:54:34] J. Aundrea: know.

[00:54:34] Bruce Anthony: I, yeah, I think, you know, it was a, but he graduated

[00:54:38] J. Aundrea: a legacy. What is the

[00:54:39] Bruce Anthony: and look, I, look, I'm not a fan of W's political president or his presence at presidency run.

[00:54:48] J. Aundrea: Yeah.

[00:54:49] Bruce Anthony: However, I ain't going to say nothing bad about Michelle's friend right now. I can't, I can't.

[00:54:56] J. Aundrea: That man paints a few portraits and

[00:54:58] Bruce Anthony: He paints a few points or [00:55:00] portraits and he cool with Michelle. They tossing candy back and forth. Uh, you know what I can understand him attacking another country cause they tried to kill my daddy.

[00:55:13] Bruce Anthony: They tried to kill his daddy y'all. Yeah,

[00:55:15] J. Aundrea: got a lot of Amer Got a lot of Americans, a lot of people in general

[00:55:19] Bruce Anthony: yeah, yeah, yeah,

[00:55:21] J. Aundrea: not

[00:55:21] Bruce Anthony: yeah, no, that's not,

[00:55:24] J. Aundrea: Trump is Was the President of the United States simply because he was a [00:55:30] celebrity, not based on merit

[00:55:33] Bruce Anthony: no, it wasn't based on marriage. You know what's really going to trip a lot of these people out, especially these particular people who are like, who are so quick to say DEI that, you know, what group affirmative action helped the most statistically

[00:55:49] J. Aundrea: white women,

[00:55:50] Bruce Anthony: white women. That's, that's

[00:55:52] J. Aundrea: you see on CNN? I cannot remember who this woman was. but her, [00:56:00] she again, invoked that idea of a de of, uh, VP Harris being A-A-D-E-I hire. she said, you know what? The white women aren't going to vote for her because, you know, she believes in all this equity. Y'all are just listening.

[00:56:19] J. Aundrea: I rolled my eyes so hard, like, actually one of my eyes hurts after

[00:56:23] Bruce Anthony: be careful now.

[00:56:25] J. Aundrea: but, and then she said, we have sons and husbands who [00:56:30] go out and try to get jobs, and they're turned away for, for some black or brown person or some woman. this is what they truly believe.

[00:56:40] Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Yeah. They truly believe it.

[00:56:41] J. Aundrea: to uphold. Positions of power and reserve them and only for white men and that anybody else who got into some position of power who is not a white man, even if it's a white woman.

[00:56:56] J. Aundrea: This is a white woman saying this,

[00:56:58] Bruce Anthony: Mm hmm.

[00:56:59] J. Aundrea: she [00:57:00] benefits

[00:57:00] Bruce Anthony: Yeah,

[00:57:00] J. Aundrea: from

[00:57:01] Bruce Anthony: did this to Hillary. They did this exact same thing to Hillary. So we knew that this was coming for VP Harris. We knew that it was coming for her. Uh, it's just, you know, it was a little, it was a little covert back in the day. It's not even covert no more. And it's so bad that even

[00:57:16] J. Aundrea: so much worse. It

[00:57:18] Bruce Anthony: yet.

[00:57:18] J. Aundrea: This is going to be so much

[00:57:19] Bruce Anthony: Well, I don't know. Cause even some of the rate old races are still being like, yo, Yo, y'all need to chill. What you doing? Y'all going too far. Like, calm down.

[00:57:29] J. Aundrea: [00:57:30] Yeah.

[00:57:30] Bruce Anthony: don't say this stuff out loud. We say it behind their back and on closed doors. You putting this on, on all the news networks.

[00:57:36] J. Aundrea: that's a new, it's a new generation. They say it on the news now, but, um,

[00:57:40] Bruce Anthony: Yeah. One dude on Fox Business News said that, that she was a DEI hire that had hawked to eat her way to the top. This is not an exaggeration. This is real. But there's a guy running for the governorship of Missouri. That said [00:58:00] that there he's running the platform of getting all illegals out of the country.

[00:58:03] J. Aundrea: Mm

[00:58:04] Bruce Anthony: Um, Missouri has been run. Well, I mean, well, I'm just thinking of Missouri and the fact that it's been a Republican led state. So I don't know how that seems like if you want to do something for your state, that that would have already been done. But he had a Spanish interpreter

[00:58:22] J. Aundrea: Mm

[00:58:22] Bruce Anthony: basically saying, we're going to get all you illegals out of here.

[00:58:26] Bruce Anthony: The fun is over and an interpreter saying, Oh no, we're in trouble. And I was like, [00:58:30] yo, this is literally man, tan blackface in real life, but without blackface actually took a Spanish, a Latino person to actually do this. They're, this is what they're doing now. And you know what I say, bring it on. I love it because now that we see everybody for who they are, you are turning more people off than you think that you, the people that you are getting support from, Yes.

[00:58:55] Bruce Anthony: They love it. That's not a big as a majority as you think it is. It's [00:59:00] not a big group that you think it is. A lot of people are being turned off by this because I see a lot of white women that are just like, hold up. First of all, you took away our reproductive rights. That affects me.

[00:59:12] J. Aundrea: Yeah.

[00:59:12] Bruce Anthony: I'm not flying with this.

[00:59:14] Bruce Anthony: And VP Harris is saying, yeah, I'm fighting for your reproductive. She's doing all the right things. She's attacking, not attacking. She's addressing the needs of the people that they are ignore. And the ignorant women,

[00:59:27] J. Aundrea: her platform, the, the [00:59:30] ultimate message is that she plans to rebuild the middle class.

[00:59:34] Bruce Anthony: right. And the, the, the people that they're attacking.

[00:59:38] J. Aundrea: Mm

[00:59:39] Bruce Anthony: She's coveting and they're going to be receptive to this because there's a lot of women as it's like, wait a minute, y'all keep talking about the fifties was great. The fifties, I couldn't do nothing.

[00:59:52] J. Aundrea: Mm

[00:59:53] Bruce Anthony: I didn't have a credit card unless you said I could have a credit card.

[00:59:56] Bruce Anthony: The only jobs I could have was a school teacher or a [01:00:00] nurse

[01:00:00] J. Aundrea: Yeah, you

[01:00:03] Bruce Anthony: or secretary, which is what they were called. Then a secretary, not an assistant, not an administrative assistant, a secretary or a stewardess. They could be a stewardess. You'd be a stewardess. Yeah. Well,

[01:00:17] J. Aundrea: well, I'll say this. I saw this online. I wish I knew who said it. I would, uh, would give them their props, but, uh, this is absolutely true. [01:00:30] women were able to sleep their way to the top, it'd be a lot more women in power. So that's dumb.

[01:00:37] Bruce Anthony: maybe not because

[01:00:38] J. Aundrea: was literally elected.

[01:00:41] Bruce Anthony: she was,

[01:00:42] J. Aundrea: She was

[01:00:43] Bruce Anthony: maybe

[01:00:43] J. Aundrea: for attorney general. She was elected to be Senator. She was elected to be the vice president. She has gained more than enough delegates that she needs to secure the nomination for president. She's literally in full public view of everyone being elected into [01:01:00] these positions. So how in the hell? Did Monica Lewinsky even get a book deal?

[01:01:09] Bruce Anthony: yeah, she did.

[01:01:11] J. Aundrea: Oh, okay. Well, where's that book? We ain't, I ain't never seen it.

[01:01:13] Bruce Anthony: Yeah. She's no, she's got a book. She got, she got a book. Ben had a book.

[01:01:17] J. Aundrea: If that was possible,

[01:01:20] Bruce Anthony: Well, well, you know why it's not possible. You know why it's not possible?

[01:01:25] J. Aundrea: Why?

[01:01:25] Bruce Anthony: it's been reported that during the Republican national committee, [01:01:30] the, the dating platform grinder,

[01:01:33] J. Aundrea: Oh, the convention. Yes.

[01:01:35] Bruce Anthony: Convention. At the Republican National Convention, the dating platform Grindr, which is a gay, a male gay dating platform, was blowing up

[01:01:45] J. Aundrea: Mm

[01:01:45] Bruce Anthony: that weekend.

[01:01:47] Bruce Anthony: Yeah, it crashed.

[01:01:49] J. Aundrea: in the city in which they were holding the Republican National Convention.

[01:01:55] Bruce Anthony: So

[01:01:55] J. Aundrea: So

[01:01:56] Bruce Anthony: maybe that's the reason why they want me to the top.

[01:01:59] J. Aundrea: people. [01:02:00] It always

[01:02:00] Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

[01:02:01] J. Aundrea: people that, uh, live, live, live a, live a life.

[01:02:07] Bruce Anthony: Alright, let's, let's wrap this up. Do you have any final thoughts on this?

[01:02:11] J. Aundrea: Um, let me tell you something. Y'all done started something that gon finish. Kamala Harris is not just a Black woman, she's not just an Asian woman. She is [01:02:30] a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Incorporated. That is a lifetime sorority that is part of what is known as the divine nine. They are a panhello pan. I don't know how to say that word.

[01:02:48] J. Aundrea: And so I'm not going to keep trying to say

[01:02:50] Bruce Anthony: You don't know how to say it. I'm definitely not going to try to say it.

[01:02:53] J. Aundrea: they are Greek organizations over a hundred years old. [01:03:00] Black organizations that are ready and waiting to mobilize. And secure the presidency their sister. And they're not playing. They're not playing. Y'all have no idea the network that the divine nine has across the that's 4 million voters. Okay. [01:03:30] y'all, huh?

[01:03:33] Bruce Anthony: It's one million.

[01:03:35] J. Aundrea: Uh, and all of the divine mind?

[01:03:37] Bruce Anthony: The membership is all of the membership and some of those people are dead. Yeah, I was talking to somebody who was a Kappa. He's like, it's, it's a million living.

[01:03:47] J. Aundrea: Oh, okay.

[01:03:48] Bruce Anthony: Oh yeah, it's a million living.

[01:03:52] J. Aundrea: I don't know why somebody said four million.

[01:03:54] Bruce Anthony: Yeah, cause they were taking probably the total number. Um, but about three million of those people [01:04:00] dead cause

[01:04:00] J. Aundrea: Panhellenic I

[01:04:03] Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

[01:04:03] J. Aundrea: that word Council. The NPHC is a group of historically black Greek letter organizations with nearly four million members.

[01:04:12] Bruce Anthony: Yeah, yeah, they're, they're counting all members from the beginning

[01:04:17] J. Aundrea: No, they're

[01:04:18] Bruce Anthony: you know, it's not living well. Okay. I talked to somebody and it's, it's a, it's a million. It's, it's a million. Cause they were saying like the capitalist has got maybe like 350 and the capitalist is probably [01:04:30] maybe the largest one.

[01:04:31] Bruce Anthony: No. And he said the AKs was probably the largest one. Anyway, I'm not going to get caught on semantics. We got to wrap this up.

[01:04:38] J. Aundrea: Also, um, you cannot personally attack a black woman because we have this amazing ability, and I, I actually got this from a standup from Tony Rock, amazing. Ability to take insults and turn them into You could call it a B word [01:05:00] as she could respond. Yeah. I'm that b. I'm always gonna be that like we have this uncanny ability and it's just not gonna rock us is going to get out there and she is going to show you who she is.

[01:05:14] J. Aundrea: She needs to, because we don't know her well enough, personality wise, but she's going to show you who she is and what she's capable of and how she's been working toward this for decades. um, I'm really excited by how, [01:05:30] engaged and activated everybody is. This is going to be a historic election. 

[01:05:35] 

[01:05:42] Bruce Anthony: All right. To wrap up this show, let's switch to everything and cut everything else loose. And let's enter in something that's really interesting. 

[01:05:52] Michael Jackson's Alleged Gang Affiliation
---

[01:05:52] Bruce Anthony: DJ Quick was on Drink Champs the other day and he insinuated that Michael [01:06:00] Joseph Jackson was indeed a Crip. A Crip like in Los Angeles, you got the Crips and the Bloods.

[01:06:09] Bruce Anthony: The reason why he said this is because he was throwing up cookies, Crip signs, with his Crip homies in pictures. Now there are several pictures.

[01:06:21] J. Aundrea: Mm hmm.

[01:06:22] Bruce Anthony: Michael Jackson with people who were certified

[01:06:27] J. Aundrea: Yes.

[01:06:28] Bruce Anthony: He also had a [01:06:30] lot of bloods and crips and his beat it video. And, uh, we know that, uh, he's kind of taken elements of the crip walk in his dance maneuvers.

[01:06:46] J. Aundrea: hmm. Mm hmm.

[01:06:48] Bruce Anthony: We also know that that wasn't Michael Jackson's real voice, that he had a much deeper voice.

[01:06:54] J. Aundrea: Mm hmm.

[01:06:54] Bruce Anthony: used to trick people by calling them using this real voice. And they were like, who is this? [01:07:00] It's me that, that, that everybody that what people assume is Michael Jackson's voice is not his real voice. And he had a much deeper voice.

[01:07:08] Bruce Anthony: And there are some videos out there where he's giving interviews and he slips up and doesn't do the high pitch voice and does his real voice.

[01:07:16] J. Aundrea: Right.

[01:07:17] Bruce Anthony: He is a lot more things than what people think he is.

[01:07:22] J. Aundrea: Mm

[01:07:22] Bruce Anthony: DJ quick says, Mike is affiliated. What you think about that?[01:07:30] 

[01:07:30] J. Aundrea: saw an interview with the rapper D Smoke and Snoop Dogg, who is certified. He has that blue flag

[01:07:39] Bruce Anthony: Who's Snoop? Cause I don't know who, I don't know who Smoke is.

[01:07:41] J. Aundrea: Yes, Snoop is.

[01:07:43] Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Snoop is definitely a creep.

[01:07:44] J. Aundrea: yes. And Snoop said the, the, what the, the main photo that everybody's talking about is from the set of, um, what the heck is that song? Where he's just stalking a woman around the street.

[01:07:59] J. Aundrea: Who's just trying to [01:08:00] get on her

[01:08:00] Bruce Anthony: The way you make me feel.

[01:08:01] J. Aundrea: way you make me feel. He's got a blue shirt on. He had actors, uh, in there who apparently showed up dressed. With they blue flags and they got him, Snoop says, they got him in the photo and they said, hey man, do this and they showed him the sign and Michael threw it up they took the photo. Okay.

[01:08:26] Bruce Anthony: smokes a lot. We're going to take his word for it.

[01:08:29] J. Aundrea: Let me, [01:08:30] no, you can take Michael's own word for it

[01:08:33] Bruce Anthony: Oh, Michael said something about it.

[01:08:34] J. Aundrea: not his words, his actions.

[01:08:37] Bruce Anthony: Okay. All right.

[01:08:39] J. Aundrea: Billie Jean video.

[01:08:41] Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

[01:08:42] J. Aundrea: wearing a red bowtie and a red shirt

[01:08:45] Bruce Anthony: Maybe, but the way you make, way you make me feel, the way you make me feel, the way you make me feel.

[01:08:54] J. Aundrea: Thriller he is wearing a red and black jacket. Leave me [01:09:00] alone He is wearing a red and gold jacket the entire bad era He is wearing black pants a black fedora and a red shirt He had a letterman jacket with an M on it. That was red and gold that man Beat it Ain't. No. Damn. Crip. Hehehehe With all the red that he wore in just the [01:09:30] bad era, thriller to bad, all the red he wore, my man was d red dripping. Ain't no way

[01:09:43] Bruce Anthony: is,

[01:09:47] Bruce Anthony: I think that's, is that the bad album?

[01:09:49] J. Aundrea: the way you make me feel

[01:09:51] Bruce Anthony: Is that dangerous? Cause he could have been, he could have been Piru. That's Bloods, ladies and gentlemen. He could have been Piru Nation and [01:10:00] then swipped to Crips after that way, after the way you make me feel.

[01:10:06] J. Aundrea: It's on the bad album and i'm telling you that whole bad era. This man is in a red shirt

[01:10:13] Bruce Anthony: But he wasn't wearing the red jacket that he had ditched off of Thriller. He wasn't wearing a red jacket no more.

[01:10:19] J. Aundrea: But he was still wearing the red shirt

[01:10:22] Bruce Anthony: He also wore a lot of blue.

[01:10:23] J. Aundrea: in the bad concert Bad tour he's wearing red on the bad [01:10:30] tour

[01:10:32] Bruce Anthony: Well, maybe he was Pyro instead of Clipse, instead of Crips.

[01:10:35] J. Aundrea: in the in the bat in the video for bad. He got a brother on roller skates On red roller skates that they zoom in on Of him doing the moonwalk and red roller skates and then they pull out and show the whole dude And he does a split and comes back up. You can't tell me That michael joseph jackson was a crip.

[01:10:59] J. Aundrea: That's the [01:11:00] stupidest i've ever heard they got one video of him. They asked him to throw up a sign He asked no questions. He just did it and that's And they and and snoop said after they took the photo the guys were like, hey, you see, you know What you just did mike He don't know what he just did. He don't know. Okay. And they had that photo and they were like, we got this for all time.

[01:11:23] Bruce Anthony: All right. Okay. I will say this. I know that you're a Prince person and Prince and [01:11:30] Michael had this, this thing, gangsters, crips and bloods from that air. Don't diss Michael. Don't say anything bad about Michael. They treat Michael like they do magic and Colby. It crossed all color barriers as far as blue and red.

[01:11:48] Bruce Anthony: I don't know about black and white, but maybe black and white too, but it crossed the blue and red barrier. They purple. It like, uh, Sam Jackson in star Wars against steady. He, he had a purple life saver instead of blue and red. That's, [01:12:00] that's what they are. Magic, Kobe, and Michael Jackson.

[01:12:04] J. Aundrea: I don't know nothing about that. Cause I, not spoken with Crips and Bloods in the eighties. I did not do any interviews. So I don't know that I could see them having that level of respect for him because they he did have them in the beat it video and the way you make me feel video. I could see them just having some level of respect for him for that kind of, uh, you know, exposure or whatever. But, uh, [01:12:30] no, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life.

[01:12:32] Bruce Anthony: I don't think we're going to call DJ quick. Dumb. He's been, he's been affiliating.

[01:12:37] J. Aundrea: anything and be relevant, but it's,

[01:12:40] Bruce Anthony: I mean, he is DJ quick. He's always relevant.

[01:12:43] J. Aundrea: Is he? I don't know.

[01:12:44] Bruce Anthony: Yeah, he is. Okay. It's DJ.

[01:12:46] J. Aundrea: know one song, and

[01:12:48] Bruce Anthony: Huh?

[01:12:49] J. Aundrea: like it.

[01:12:50] Bruce Anthony: You don't know what song?

[01:12:51] J. Aundrea: I only know one DJ Quik song,

[01:12:53] Bruce Anthony: Well, he's a producer. That's the reason why, you know, I mean, he's mainly a producer. I mean, he did some albums. He did some, he [01:13:00] did some records too, but he's mainly a producer.

[01:13:02] J. Aundrea: Mm hmm.

[01:13:04] Bruce Anthony: Whatever.

[01:13:06] J. Aundrea: But I think it's ridiculous. Like, it's just like, uh, when they said, what if, what if, what if Michael got arrested and was in jail, I want him dead tonight, like that whole thing. Like, it's, man, come on, it's ludicrous. Like. I, I, but,

[01:13:21] Bruce Anthony: I think, I think you just don't want to ever say Michael Jackson is cool because you love Prince so much. I think you just hating.

[01:13:27] J. Aundrea: Why is him being gang affiliated [01:13:30] automatically make him cool? I

[01:13:32] Bruce Anthony: Uh, I don't know, but people love to do it. I mean, Chris Brown is gang affiliated. I

[01:13:41] J. Aundrea: No, I don't think he was cool. I think he was, uh, uh, extraordinary entertainer and uh, I have no And I haven't, I don't, you know, he had his troubles. So I don't know what, what can you say about that? But [01:14:00] am I, am I a Prince fan? Yes. But that doesn't mean that I didn't listen to Michael Jackson.

[01:14:05] J. Aundrea: That's ridiculous.

[01:14:06] Bruce Anthony: mean, of course you listen to Michael Jordan.

[01:14:07] J. Aundrea: I'm just saying that he was not a

[01:14:09] Bruce Anthony: You did just say he's not cool. You literally just said he's not cool.

[01:14:13] J. Aundrea: Oh yeah. I mean, he's not, um,

[01:14:15] Bruce Anthony: You literally just, so you double backing on stuff.

[01:14:17] J. Aundrea: like, I mean, cause it's kind of like, you know, he plays that. Peter Pan, never grow up, kind of childlike, I wouldn't describe him as, tried to have a four way into coolness and that was the bad [01:14:30] album, um,

[01:14:31] Bruce Anthony: Which was cool.

[01:14:32] J. Aundrea: kind of

[01:14:35] Bruce Anthony: No. I don't think Bad came off as corny. Bad is his greatest album.

[01:14:40] J. Aundrea: It was, it was kind of corny.

[01:14:42] Bruce Anthony: You know what? On that note, ladies and gentlemen, I'm cutting my sister off. I, well, I don't really need to talk to you anymore for the for a couple of weeks, I guess. No, no, no, I'm not gonna do that. But she's just angering me because she's such a Prince fan that she's doing little shots to Michael. And I don't feel like that's [01:15:00] necessary.

[01:15:00] Bruce Anthony: If you could just say, no, he wasn't a crip and okay.

[01:15:04] J. Aundrea: Yeah, that's

[01:15:05] Bruce Anthony: I just thought it was interesting. I just thought it was interesting.

[01:15:07] J. Aundrea: one that came up and said oh you don't think he's cool I was like, I never said anything about him being cool. And I don't think he's cool, but After

[01:15:17] Bruce Anthony: him not being cool. Everything that you were talking about was insinuating the fact that you No. Everything that you were saying that before that time was insinuating the fact that you didn't think that Michael Jackson was cool

[01:15:26] J. Aundrea: all I

[01:15:27] Bruce Anthony: until I've just,

[01:15:28] J. Aundrea: a lot of red during the [01:15:30] thriller and

[01:15:30] Bruce Anthony: he did. Well, I, I don't think he wore a lot of red.

[01:15:33] Bruce Anthony: I don't, I, I got, I gotta go back. Well, maybe, you know, maybe he was paru. Maybe he wasn't Crip. Maybe somebody, maybe one of the pyrus checked him, is like, Hey, you know what you did in this picture? He's like, oh, I'm sorry. I guess I'm Pirate of the Nation now.

[01:15:50] J. Aundrea: he And thank you so
