Listen to I Do Part 2 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. This is America. There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community.
Starting point is 00:02:52 Yes, you are a donkey. The latest on that police killing of a black man. Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage. Yesterday was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did. And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay, white supremacist violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. The Breakfast Club, bitches. All right, Sean Dean, please tell me, why was I your donkey of the day? Donkey of the day for Tuesday, July 11th
Starting point is 00:03:23 goes to Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville. Now, I know as a country, we are mentally exhausted and fatigued. Everything, especially coming out of COVID, has just been so much death, so much grief. The economy is in shambles. Every day is some sort of racism, homophobia, sexism, anti-Semitism. Things are so heavy that all we want to do is escape. So a lot of things we should pay attention to, we don't. And there's a group of evil ass people in this country who are trying to take us back to a time
Starting point is 00:03:48 before we had basic rights okay it's happening all right look at what the supreme court did with roe v wade look at what the supreme court did with affirmative action in colleges and universities at this point we just have to ask ourselves what's next what basic right is going to be stripped from the american people next but we tie it okay mentally and emotionally exhausted therefore we don't have the energy to fight. And people like Tommy Tuberville are banking, banking on that, all right? They're banking that we as a collective
Starting point is 00:04:11 are too tired to truly get angry. And that is why we can, that is why he can go on national TV like CNN and argue that the definition of white nationalism is just some people's opinion. Let's go to CNN for the report, please. I'm totally against any type of racism, okay? I was a football coach for 40 years,
Starting point is 00:04:28 and I dealt and had opportunity to be around more minorities than anybody up here on this hill. But calling people nationalists, white nationalists, white nationalists is just another word that they want to use other than racism. I'm totally against anything to do with racism. But the thing about being a white nationalist is just a cover word for the Democrats now where they can use it to try to make people mad across the country, identity politics. I'm totally against that. But just to be clear, you agree
Starting point is 00:04:58 that white nationalists should not be serving in the US military. Is that what you're saying? I agree they should. A white nationalist is someone who believes that the white race is superior to other races. Well, that's some people's opinion. My opinion of a white nationalist, if somebody wants to call him a white nationalist, to me is an American. It's an American. Now,
Starting point is 00:05:15 if that white nationalist is a racist, I'm totally against anything that they want to do because I am 110% against racism. Sigh. Senator Tuberville, as Caitlinins tried to point out to you the pure definition of white nationalism is racism mariam wex webster mariam webster definition of white nationalism is a group of militant white people who espouse white supremacy and advocate enforced racial segregation dictionary.com says the definition of white nationalism is the belief theory or doctrine that white people are inherently superior to people from
Starting point is 00:05:49 all other racial and ethnic groups and that in order to preserve their white european and christian cultural identities they need or deserve a segregated geographical area preferential treatment and special legal protections senator tubbleville the definition of white nationalism is not a matter of opinion it's a matter of fact and this is the problem i have with so many of these fascists these racists these white nationalists they are elected officials there are politicians there are people in control of legislation and they literally talk out both sides of their reptilian necks you can't say you're against racism but be for white nationalism that's like me telling my side
Starting point is 00:06:23 chick black men don't cheat okay that's like me telling my side chick, black men don't cheat, okay? That's like me saying I'm against drug use but also spending a weekend with Hunter Biden in the White House. I like what Hunter likes! DJ Khaled voice. That's like Nick Cannon holding a safe sex seminar, okay? I was speaking to the president of the Fat Lives Matter community and he said this is like ordering a 20-piece chicken McNugget value meal,
Starting point is 00:06:43 two large fries, a quarter pounder, an M&M McFlflurry and then when they ask you what you want to drink you say a diet coke the word of the day is contradiction kids okay we are all human contradictions but this is a senator of the united states of america telling us he's against racism while supporting actual racism because that's what white nationalism is bottom line point blank period the senate is already america's most structurally racist institution and it always will be as long as this country keeps putting open races in these seats all right telling me white nationalism is not racism is the worst rebrand i heard all week x well actually second worst because accepting white nationalism as not being racism is like this cervical cancer charity trying to tell me that
Starting point is 00:07:23 vagina should be called bonus holes to avoid upsetting transgender men okay y'all 1a and 1b when it comes to having the worst rebrand ideas of the week okay bonus hole imagine telling a woman i'm about to eat your bonus hole all right imagine needing a tampon for your bonus hole all right i ain't spending no money on no bonus hole and if that hole is the bonus what's the main hole anyway senator tommy Tubbleville, since we have Hitman Holly here from Wild N' Out, salute to Hitman Holly. And Wild N' Out is celebrating their 20th anniversary. So every day we are going to have someone from Wild N' Out in here co-hosting, even though BET absolutely did not promote the Breakfast Club. Not once during the BET Awards. The partnership should be reciprocal.
Starting point is 00:08:02 All right. But we have battle rapper extraordinaire Hitman Holla from Wild N' Out in here, and he's going to give us a few bars to Tommy Tubberville. You're acting like you're on the Wild N' Out stage, Hitman Holla. Off the top. I got you. And Senator Tommy Tubberville is in your face. I got you. I'm going to even provide you ad-libs for each bar.
Starting point is 00:08:18 I appreciate it. Okay. Tommy, see, I'll be trying not to act like a savage and things, but if y'all ain't racist, then why y'all kill a black man for having a dream? Y'all sick for real Y'all gonna make me get lit for real If y'all ain't racist, why Treyvon get killed for eating Skittles or the wicked things y'all did to Emmett Till? I mean, I'm on the radio, so I can't even cuss

If y'all ain't racist, then explain to me the chain of events that happened in Tulsa. I'm just saying, I just need some respect. If y'all ain't racist, why I wake up every morning and see another cop with a knee in our neck? Tommy, be real with yourself. That's what the case is.
