Did George Washington really cut down a charity? Were JFK and Maryland Monroe having an affair? And I find the answers. I'm so glad you asked me this question. This is such a ridiculous story. You can listen to American History Hotline on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Don't know. Damn, the he-ha-h again.

It's time for Donkey of the Day. I'm ain't trying to be Donkey Today no more. They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things. Called Donkey of the Day, and it really caught me off guard. Damn, Solomon, who got the donkey of the day today? Well, Jesselari. It's donkey here today for Wednesday, August 6.

It is Wednesday, August 6, right? I've been getting my date wrong. Let me make sure. It is. It is Wednesday, August 6. But donkey today for Wednesday, August 6, goes to a Long Island police officer named Peter Alt. Peter Alt has been scripted of his duties, and rightfully so, because I don't understand public servants who simply can't do right by the public.

Okay, firefighters, police officers, when we call you for assistance, We want you to protect us and serve us. Now, firefighters, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think your model is always ready. And another one I saw is to be useful is our wish. Those are great models, but we need you to live up to those models always. And Peter Alt from the video I saw, you did not do that. Okay, see, there was a 10-year-old girl. And according to her grandmother, the grandmother's daughter, who I'm assuming was the child's mother,

called the police on her after she had taken away the child's phone, which caused the kid to flip out, okay, caused her to become a most, Disgressed. Let's go to NBC 4, New York for the report, please. Well, we spoke with the grandmother of this 10-year-old. The grandma wasn't home at the time when this happened, but she said that her granddaughter was having an episode. She had become enraged because her mother had taken away her phone as punishment. The grandmother was completely stunned to watch this video to see how this first responder now identified as a fire chief treated her granddaughter. You know, expletives directed at a 10-year-old girl on a stretcher, recorded by a witness, alarmed by a first responder's language. I don't know. That first responder identified as North Babylon Volunteer Fire Company Chief, Peter Alt. Maybe it was a blessing I wasn't there because I probably would have jumped all over the sky. The girl's grandma wasn't home when this happened. She says her daughter called police. for help when the girl became enraged and out of control. After viewing the video, the department says Alt has been relieved of his duties while they investigate, calling the conduct.

I'm not judging, okay, but why would you ever call the police or firefighters because you're 10-year-old is emotionally distressed. Trust me, I understand having an emotionally discressed child. My nine-year-old can go from zero to 100 over the smallest of things, okay? You're supposed to threaten them. I write with the authorities, not actually call them, okay? Especially when you're in a public place and them kids get the carrying on. You got to say, A, now, then people are going to come get us if you don't stop all that hollering.

You know, and damn well, you are her, don't know who them people is. My point is, if you have an emotionally disgraced child, there are other ways to handle them than by calling authorities, okay? They got behavioral therapy for kids starting as early as four years old. I know those things cost money, but a lot of places have the sliding scale fees. You know, you can go to your local counseling centers. You can check with University Health Clinics. There's crisis hotlines you can call. I'm just saying, calling the authorities on your 10-year-old, emotionally discressed child is wild.

Okay, but nonetheless, the first responders pulled up. And after putting the girl on what it looks like a scratcher, you heard one of the first responders, Peter Alt. He started talking to this young girl crazy. Can we hear some of that? I don't want you. Shut your mouth. The hell. Jesus Christ.

He said, shut the F up. It's like this with you every effing week. And then the young girl goes, I don't want to go. I want to go back home. Man. Firefighters are there to put out fires, okay? As far as I know, they aren't there to be therapists or counselors, which is, you know, why I completely agree with mental health professionals, behavioral therapists being sent out.

with the police officers and firefighters to prevent things like this. Okay, this is one of the things I was talking about on my view with Laura Trump the other day. That firefighter, Peter Alt, he sounded emotionally disgraced. He sounded like he's got some other things going on in his life, and he's projecting whatever pain, whatever hurt he's feeling onto that little girl. Any of us with kids know you got to be present and you have to take a deep breath sometimes before you react because these kids will try every bit of patience you got, okay? You know, and I know Peter Alt isn't some type of mental health professional

but you got to have some type of empathy, all right? You're an adult and the kid is 10. Okay, the girl's family called for help to calm the child down. I don't know why they would call y'all. But telling the kid to shut the F up, it's like this with you every effing week. That lets me know he knows this child or has had experiences with this child. If this child is having breakdowns every week, then she needs some form of behavioral therapy. Okay, I did one Google search, and AI gave me several options for free or low-cost child therapy services, you know, in the Long Island area.

You got the Nassau County Mental Health Services. You got Suffolk County Mental Health Services, Community Mental Health Centers. By the way, she's 10. Where the school counselor is at? Where the school psychologist? Okay, I know it's summertime, but damn, all right. Listen, man, the moral of the story is let's be patient with kids, okay? It's tough, I know, but we are adults.

They are kids. Try to find out a reason for the child's behavior, okay? If your child is acting out, if a child is acting out, it's probably because they're going through something. Get them some professional help, okay? Peter Alt, you're a volunteer firefighter. You clearly not built for this because I'm listening to you talk to this young girl

and I'm realizing you need professional help your damn self. Please give Peter Alt the sweet sounds and the hamletones. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. All right. Also, why are other adults letting him talk like that?

Somebody should have told him shut the F up. Somebody should have told him shut the F up for telling the little girl shut the F up. And what do you mean? They do this for her every week. Like, it's the same thing with you every week. What do they mean? What do you mean? Exactly.

Because I'm looking at the video. There's plenty of adults there. Why nobody else grown ain't tell him to shut the hell up. This girl is only 10. Like, for somebody who don't know the story, they would think that's her father or something. yeah that's true yeah because that that sounds like like a parent talking to their child a little bit you know what I mean but the fact that he's not even her parent or related to her anything it's just weird it's like he don't even care about what she's going through that stupid all right well thank you for that donkey today shalomain yes indeed oh oh all right so look the topic right because we've been fishing for a topic but I think the topic should be what is one of the craziest things

you've done to flex, right? Because it was a video that just hit Shade Room, right? Shady species. Yeah, Shady and that's the same of the second. Right. Somebody tried to act like they was going outside to get their dogs, you know, their dogs,

but showing their house. Never showed the dogs. It was only a landscape of the house. He got to the dogs eventually. The dogs were in their own house, basically. The dogs, yeah, the dogs was in their two little apartments, but the dogs didn't even care. We got audio of DJ Envy.

This is the man that we're talking about. Oh, okay. Who hit the shade room recently. I didn't want to put it out there. It was, but it was definitely envy. Everybody want a dog until it's this type of weather. Like, this is ridiculous. There should be no reason where nobody in this house wants to help me.

Everybody wants a dog. And so this right here happens, right? Nobody. This, look at this. It's ridiculous out here. You have some getting soaked. I could get an umbrella. What the thing about,

umbrella is I got to carry both of these dogs, which Makes no goddamn sense. So like I said, I'm coming. Everybody wants a dog. Matter of fact, let's stay in here for a son. Well, no, you go. He ran out. Let me describe what happened.

That's not like a porno. Everybody wants to live in a dog, but I'm coming. Everybody wants to live in a cancer until you got the responsibility of all these bills and all of that. My friend was like, what part of Jersey he lived in, Lauren? I don't look like that where you live. I said, I don't have DJ any money. That's different.

Yeah. So basically, he was acting like he was, walking his dogs, but he was showing up. No, he was acting like he was trying to go save the dogs from the rain, which dogs love, by the way, because they ran around. They thought it was a game of catching go, right? So he was trying to show everybody that basically that he lived in a castle, but he tried to make a same like he was going out there to get the dogs because nobody would help him

bring the dogs back in the house. If you follow me on my TikTok, I put my, you know, I bought two puppies and I show my interaction with his puppies and raising these puppies and training these puppies and my kids wanted puppies. What I was saying in that video is everybody likes the puppies until the weather gets disgusting and I got to do it on my own.

That's what I was saying with the dogs and same thing on a TikTok. I promote my car show and bust down how it is to do a car show and planning a car show and it's August 16th which is next week. And when you do them car show videos

maybe you switch cards per video per day. The video matched the car the other day. You saw that video right with the 10 and the 10 card behind I felt. Just flexing.

You got cars for us. That was ivory. That was an ivory color. But the crazy thing is, if you were so focused on the dogs, why the camera wasn't turned around? The dogs were on the grass, Envy. It was selfie style. What is the question that you guys want to ask?

What's the craziest way you've ever flex? The craziest thing you've done to flex? I wasn't flexing. You know what? 8005-8-1-10-1. You're first than a homie to pull out the money when the girls come around. Like, you put out the house. I'm not talking.
