Oh man Charlamagne, you giving donkey the day to who now? Well Busta Rhymes, Donkey of the Day for Friday April 4th goes to Tom Ross. Tom Ross is the mayor of North Dakota City. And before we continue I need you to know it's Friday.

So you know what that means, right Envy? It's Freaky Freaky Freaky Friday! The reason I'm telling you this is because Tom Ross is fam. And by fam, I mean a freaky ass man. Okay, I want all the beautiful working class people out there listening to my voice to think about what do you usually do on your lunch break?

Okay, most folks go get something to eat, right? Most folks try to get a quick nap in more recent years. I've heard people say they even take the time to meditate, do some breath work, but some people like to do something that starts with an M and has three syllables, but it's not meditate. It's masturbate. I can see people doing it for stress reduction and that's why as I've gotten older, I don't be shaking everybody's hand, okay? I give pounds because folks be out here going on call of duty solo missions on their lunch breaks and coming back in the workplace, that's just mayonnaise from a tuna sandwich on their

thumb. And that's the story with Tim Ross. Okay, would you like to hear more? Yes. Let's go to KX News for the report, please. Minot Mayor Tom Ross has now resigned. This comes after an internal investigation was conducted after Minot City Attorney Stephanie Stahlheim submitted a sexual harassment complaint. KX News obtained the full investigative report. The report states on the morning of January

14th, Ross called Stahlheim to inform her that an officer with Minot police had died. 11 minutes after that phone call, the report states that she received a text message from Ross with a video attached to it. Ross then called Stalheim, asking her not to watch the video and simply delete it, saying it was intended for Ross's girlfriend. The report says she was under distress after hearing of the officer's passing, then being told by the mayor to delete a message just 11 minutes later. She was being consoled by other colleagues and Stahlheim then tried to delete the video but accidentally hit play. It was a sexually explicit video of Ross. Ross has since resigned as mayor just after 3 o'clock this afternoon. Now Tom put out a statement and he said I do take responsibility for this mistake as

if anyone else could take responsibility. As if it was anyone else's fault. It's your penis, your hand. Nobody was buffing your browser but you. Okay, you open that self-care app yourself. You swiped right solo. Who else could take responsibility Tom? What else I found funny was when he said I tried to immediately correct it and was unable. What does that even mean? You can't unjerk yourself. else could take responsibility Tom? What Okay, by the way, nothing wrong with that, but it's a time and a place for everything and on your lunch break

Isn't the place nor the time and what makes this story extra funny is he sent it to Stephanie Stahlheim? Who's a city attorney? You just heard the news report and she told investigators. She had just spoken to Ross about a police officer's Passing okay just minutes before she received a video of the mayor doing the five finger shuffle. She told the mayor that a police officer had just transitioned, had just passed away and he responded by sending a video of him making the bald man cry yogurt. Can you imagine? Okay I told you about an officer passing away and you send me a video of you making tartar sauce rainbows? I prayed Tom didn't you know hang up with her and tell her I'm gonna send you something to lift your

spirits or send you something to put things in perspective. You searching for a Maya Angelou video and end up sending the video of you Hulk smashing your slong? Today's Maya Angelou's birthday. I was wondering why you brought her into this. She was on my spirit. I think it's her birthday right? Yes. Okay now for the record Tom didn't mean to blow the horn and send the video of him making Pearl Jam to Stephanie. You heard the news report. He meant to send something sexy to his girlfriend, but mistakes happened and he sent the video of him making some beef stroking off to the wrong person. Okay. Stephanie filed an official harassment complaint as she should have. She asked for

a formal apology from the mayor, which she got got and she requested that he consider resigning which he did. Listen man this is why I just believe some things just have to be done the old fashion way and things that you do in your bedroom in the privacy of your own residence should stay there. Everything isn't for digital consumption. Everything isn't you know to share on smartphones. Do we even call private parts private anymore? We should get back to that. Do we have to record and share every single damn thing nowadays? Especially intimate moments like that. I don't know who needs to hear this today

but your phone is not a safe space never has been never will be Especially if you got social media a safe space last time I checked was a place where you can be yourself without fear of Judgment or punishment can't find that place on your phone a safe space is a place where you can be alone You know if you want not when you seek in comfort and validation from social media. A safe space is populated with things that can make you happy and satisfied. You not finding none of that on your phone. So why would you share some of your most intimate moments with this device?

Please give Mayor Tom Ross of North Dakota the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yeehaw. You're hitting folders, not a safe space? I don't think so. I don't know why we're so comfortable with our smartphones.

I really don't. Even the app that looks like a calculator that's really not a calculator? I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't know. What you don't know? Is that fair? Oh God. Is what fair? Is that fair?

Is what fair Dominican by me? If I'm playing with my one-eyed snake, right? Is that fair? Oh God. Is what fair? Is that fair? Is what fair in Dominican? If I'm playing with my one-eyed snake, right? Little pocket pinball. And I send it to my wife. Yeah. And instead of typing Gia, I type Sharla. By accident.

And you get it. Now I get fired? I didn't mean to send it to you. It wasn't my intention to send it to you. I made a mistake. And because you get it, you're gonna go to Human Resources and now I gotta resign? Because you see me play with my one-eyed snake by accident?

Is this you putting this on public record for a reason? What's going on here? I don't know if that's, it's not like he did it on purpose. It's not like he said, I'm gonna send Charlamagne my one-eyed Willie. And you know, he didn't. We got my instrumental in there, man. Y'all got my song? You know what I wanna hear right now, right? You know what I want, right'm gonna send Charlamagne my one-eyed Willie. And you know, he didn't. We got my instrumental in there, man. Y'all got my song?

Y'all know what I wanna hear right now, right? You know what I want, right? It's not. You know what I want. Doom doom doom doom doom doom. You got that in there, man. I'm sick of this. Is that really?

I'm sick of this. He didn't do it on purpose. So the man loses his, he could have been a great mayor. He wanted to send something sexy to his girlfriend. I'm sure you sent something sexy to your boyfriend, right? Period. Now let's say you sent it to Charlamagne by accident. oh what? turn it up. where you going off and all that? now Charlamagne sees that. he goes to human resources?

I'm going on this ride along. and you get fired? I'm going on this ride along and I'm going to one house. that's not right! he didn't do it on purpose! I'm going on one house. we need one person. There's one person we need to call. You go to that one house you got a good van for. Hey you know what I saw this morning? You know what I saw this morning all jokes aside?

Did you call ICE? No but it was about 10... I don't know what 10 was. Did you call ICE?

for what they ask. He made a mistake! Sure. People can't make mistakes when you gotta. And you know what he decided to do when he made his mistake? He decided to resign. Cause she asked him to.

She was like, you should resign. Give me an apology and you should resign. He felt like that was the right thing to do. He felt something else. You keep talking. Don't tell him that. All right, Cory Booker, relax. He actually said, Cory Booker, you can't go away.

All right. Dog here today. Up next. I just want to say, he actually said, the decision I made falls in line with all my work on behalf of the city of Minot Or whatever it's called. I put my heart and soul into this community So he just he decided that was the honorable thing to do. I respect yeah Cuz he put in that heart and soul under all the places he needs to relax.
