I ain't trying to be Donkey of the Day no more. They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things. It's called Donkey of the Day, and it really caught me off guard. Damn, Charlemagne, who got the Donkey of the Day today?

Well, just hilarious. Donkey of the Day for Monday, June 3rd goes to the Hon today? Well, just hilarious. Donkey of the Day for Monday, June 3rd goes to the Honorable Judge Cedric Simpson. It also goes to the Director of Saginaw's Friends of the Court. And it goes to the Secretary of State in Michigan. Okay, the clerks, everybody who was behind the injustice that happened to Corey Harris. Now, last Thursday on May 30th, I gave out a double donkey and I gave it to Corey Harris and Judge Cedric Simpson because Corey was caught driving during a virtual court hearing for a suspended license. Y'all remember that story, right?

Yeah. Okay, if not, let me refresh your memory. Let's go to Local 4 News for the report, please. Ever since some court proceedings went on Zoom, you really never know what to expect. And this judge did not see this coming. Mr. Harris, are you driving? Ashley, I'm pulling into my doctor's office actually. Just give me one second. You can see the shock on his face. Judge Cedric Simpson nearly speechless. The defendant, Corey Harris,

had a suspended license yet joined the court proceeding from behind the wheel. The judge needed to get something straight. I'm looking at his record. He doesn't have a license. He's suspended and he's just driving. That is correct, Your Honor. I don't even know why he would do that. So defendant's bond is revoked in this matter. Defendant is turning himself into the Washtenaw County Jail by 6 p.m. today. Failure to turn himself in will result in a bench warrant with no bond. Oh, my God. The judge told poor Corey to go to jail, directly to jail, do not pass, go, because he was caught driving during a virtual court hearing for a suspended license. Turns out, though, Corey should have never been charged

with driving on a suspended license, okay? He should have never been charged, and he blames the mix-up on Saginaw's friend of the court. Let's go to 7 News Detroit to listen. I was thinking about getting my wife medical help. Corey Harris said that's why he was behind the wheel earlier this month when he appeared before District Court Judge Cedric Simpson,

who knew Harris was appearing on a charge of driving while license suspended. We spoke to Harris by phone today, and he said the doctor wanted to see his wife for some ongoing medical issues that had worsened, and he didn't think about anything but getting her there. Corey Harris was cited for driving while license suspended in Pittsfield Township back in October. He said it was suspended for unpaid child support. Secretary of State records show his license was first suspended for child

support back in 2010, but Harris told us he thought his license had been reinstated. They were supposed to have been lifted it two years ago, but they didn't. And according to the Saginaw County court records we found, Harris is right. In January 2022, a judge rescinded that suspension on his license. But for some reason, that information never got to the secretary of state, where even as of today, his license is still listed as suspended. The same records the judge was going by is very embarrassing. And with the type of ties that I have with the church and the community, it's very embarrassing. I've told y'all on this radio before, there are certain jobs you can't afford to make mistakes in, okay? Doctors, surgeons, police officers.

And now we got to add the clerical people who work in the courts to the list because this man, Corey, had to report to jail. Embarrassed all over the internet. He's a meme now. I said that man looked like Beetlejuice's brother. I even gave the judge donkey of the day last week for not having sympathy towards Corey because he said he was going to the doctor. I diagnosed him with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and maybe even a little diabetes because he looked a little swollen in the cheeks.

Come to find out, he wasn't going to the doctor for himself. He was taking his wife. Corey, I apologize for naming you donkey of the day. I got to take that hee-haw back. Give him that hee-haw in reverse one time, right? That's right. That was creative. This is what I don't understand.

How come the public defender wasn't aware that Corey's license wasn't really suspended? The public defender should have been doing some type of research on the case. This is why public defenders get a bad rap. The judge don't have this kind of information. That's what lawyers and public defenders are supposed to do. Present the proper research on the case. This is why public defenders get a bad rap. The judge don't have this kind of information. That's what lawyers and public defenders are supposed to do, present the proper information to the judge. Or maybe the public defender didn't know because in 2022, as you just heard,

court records showed that a judge rescinded the suspension, allowing Corey to drive again. But that information never got to the Secretary of State because even as of last Thursday afternoon, Harris's license is still listed as suspended. And that's the same records the police and the judge were going by. Poor Corey had to spend two days in jail. And you heard Corey say,

with the type of ties that I have with the church and the community, it's very embarrassing. And you know there is nobody more judgmental than church folks. It's a damn shame you had to deal with this, Corey. Not to mention everybody and there mama winning on Corey listen that's Michigan courtroom there man facing yes a suspended license charge made a court appearance while driving he still doesn't have a license and now he's got an appointment at the jail cell. I mean, it's the judge's reaction as well.

Wait, do I have this right? Are you punking me? Ladies and gentlemen, that man right there might be one of the dumbest individuals we've seen. I mean, when you talk about bloopers or straight dummies, okay, and you think about a top 10 category, that dude is on it. So once again, I want to take back the donkey of the day

I gave you last week, Corey, and I'm sorry that your five to six bottom teeth have been broadcast to the world. I studied this meme this morning, okay? Because when I think of that meme, I think of glasses and teeth. So I went to count his bottom teeth, and he's got between five and six. Pass this to

Jess Hilarious. Jesus. You and me look at that, Jess. Just count how many teeth you got at the bottom. Just count them up. Six. It's six? Yeah. Because I can't tell if it's two teeth really close to each other that look like one big tooth. Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis.

So it's six? It's six? Yeah, it's six. Okay, okay. Anyway, please give Judge Cedric Simpson and the friend of the court in Saginaw the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. You are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Come on now. Y'all got to make sure y'all measure twice to cut once, man.

Humans make mistakes, but damn. That is crazy. Damn. That's crazy. And you even say that this man is dying. I said he had high blood pressure. No, you said that. And I was like, oh.

And maybe high cholesterol and a little bit of diabetes because he is dying and y'all don't have no sympathy I was pretending to be his lawyer that's what I would have said in court look at this man y'all he got 5 to 6 teeth in his mouth

you're not making it better you're not making it better I'm just saying so that's why he was looking like oh my god You're not making it better. You're not making it better. Oh, my God. I'm just saying. Corey Cole. Okay. So that's why he was looking like, oh, my God. Yes. Oh, my God.

Yes. Oh, man. That would make sense. He couldn't believe it because he knew it better. You should send him your book. Yeah. No, those reading glasses. I had to look.

No, I had to make sure. That's why I looked at the pictures. I wanted to make sure they was reading glasses. You're right. We sent him a copy. We sent him a copy. We sent him a copy. Cory Cole! All right.
