Starting point is 00:02:55 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. And 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.
Starting point is 00:03:18 The Breakfast Club, bitches! All right, Charlene, please tell me, why was I your donkey of the day? Well, donkey of the day for Tuesday, August 9th goes to Marjorie Taylor Greene, please tell me why was I your donkey of the day? Well, donkey of the day for Tuesday, August 9th goes to Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar, and all the other several Republican lawmakers calling for the FBI to be destroyed and defunded. Let me tell you something, man.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Yesterday, Dope 45, President Donald Trump's Magalago residence was raided by the FBI. Oh, the alphabet boys pulled up because, as you know, the Justice Department has two known active investigations connected to Trump, okay? One is on his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, you know, the attempted coup that happened back on January 6, 2021,
Starting point is 00:03:56 and the other involving the handling of classified documents. This is what this raid was about, the classified documents part. Listen, I saw mad people celebrating yesterday. And it's a damn shame that we live in a country where now we celebrate folks for doing the bare minimum. OK, the FBI was doing their job. Now, I'm happy that it happened because I like being right. All right. I have no problem being proven wrong, but I like being right. And one of the four things I've been saying that needs to be done to protect democracy as we know it is to prosecute everyone involved with the insurrection on january 6th even if one of those people is a former president okay treason cannot be tolerated if
Starting point is 00:04:30 you don't make an example out of every single person who had a hand in this attempted coup then all this you know attempted coup was is a training exercise for the next one so it's good to see the fbi doing their job but job not finished okay remember when the Lakers was up 2-0 in the 2009 NBA Finals against Orlando Magic and they asked the late, great Kobe Bryant why wasn't he happy and he replied, what's there to be happy about? Job's not finished. That's exactly how I feel in regards to the feds raiding Magalago. Okay, until there's charges being filed, this is just noise. And if Trump doesn't get charges pressed against him it just makes him more invincible makes him look more teflon so i see y'all online dancing and celebrating relax all right job's not done but the reason we are gathered here today is because a funny thing
Starting point is 00:05:17 happened after the feds raided magalago okay members of the goP's far right wing started calling for the FBI to be destroyed and defunded. Now, these are some of the same House Republicans who introduced Back the Blue Act to fend off progressives pushing to defund the police. But now they're calling for the FBI to be defunded and destroyed. Man, that was hilarious to me because I have gotten on this radio and told y'all quite a few times that all these old institutions that are rooted in white supremacy are all Frankenstein monsters that will eventually cannibalize us all.
Starting point is 00:05:55 So many of you have sat around and watched the evil these institutions have done to others, but you had to know at some point it would be your turn. This is what's happening here. Look, man, I'm all for it because it's impossible to have an internal reckoning of a country without an internal reckoning of its white supremacist institutions. OK, top law enforcement officials have said for a few years now that the biggest domestic terror threat comes from white supremacists.
Starting point is 00:06:20 So it's good to see the feds raiding the house of a supremely white man who absolutely brought white supremacy back to mainstream politics and Trump's allies. Oh, they can't stand it. All right. Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted to fund the FBI. And she followed that up by tweeting elections are how Americans solve political differences, not by radicalizing our federal law enforcement to take political enemies out. This is why we must protect election integrity. The Republican Party has been pushing and implementing legislation to keep black people from voting since they started letting black people vote. But now they want to talk about election integrity? Please.
Starting point is 00:06:54 That's a topic for a different day. Let me stay the course. Arizona Representative Paul Gosar tweeted, we must destroy the FBI. We must save America. Paul, I agree with you. All right. must destroy the fbi we must save america paul i agree with you all right colorado lawmaker lauren bobert tweeted that she wanted the gop to set up a select committee to investigate the fbi's politically motivated raid on magalago and all the fraudulent persecution of president trump from our
Starting point is 00:07:18 government in quote house minority leader kevin mccarthy tweeted a warning to the head of the doj signaling that a gop controlled congress would investigate the fbi search of trump's property wow wow let me take a sip of water real quick hold on hold on you know why they're reacting like this they're reacting like this because the fbi was established back when marginalized communities had little to no rights. So who were these institutions designed to protect and who were these institutions designed to police? Well, I can tell you this, the white man system isn't built to prosecute whiteness, so they can't believe what they're witnessing right now.
Starting point is 00:07:56 One rich, privileged, supposedly untouchable white man gets his house raided and now all of a sudden it's to fund the FBI? Never mind the fact that the fbi has been notoriously racist the man that the fbi's headquarters is named after j edgar hoover or as i like to call him the hnkic head nigga killer in charge this man was one of the fbi's founders and implemented so many discriminatory initiatives like cointel pro you know cointel pro you know uh It was a series of illegal projects that encouraged government officials to infiltrate and dismantle many a civil rights movement. All right. This man spied on and stalked so many prominent black people because in his words, he wanted to stop the rise of a black messiah. This man got Marcus Garvey deported, bro.
Starting point is 00:08:38 And allegedly, I have to say allegedly, OK, he got so many American patriots who happened to be black killed. Malcolm X, alright, the family of Malcolm X got a letter from a dying NYPD officer named Raymond Wood who admits that the FBI along with the NYPD were complicit in the assassination of Brother Malcolm. The FBI harassed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. They sent a letter to Dr. King encouraging him to kill himself. The FBI
Starting point is 00:08:59 even sent out a memo saying it's clear that MLK is the most dangerous Negro in America and we have to use every resource to destroy him yes marjorie taylor green i agree defund the fbi okay yes paul goes so we must destroy the fbi i am with y'all okay do i even have to tell y'all about fred hampton and mark clark two leaders of the black panther party who were gunned down in an fbi coordinated raid while they sleeping? Come on man. The FBI has been doing stuff like this to black people for years and J. Edgar Hoover was celebrated for intentionally infiltrating and sabotaging black civil rights groups. But never ever
Starting point is 00:09:33 have I heard lawmakers saying the FBI needs to be destroyed and defunded for any of that. But soon as the pressure gets put on a privileged white man just a little bit, now it's time to defund the FBI. Well, damn it. Tell us how to help you. Tell us how to help you do that. Because this is long overdue. All right. I agree with every single member of the GOP.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Yes, they are the biggest hypocrites, but I would rather look at it as a change of heart. Okay. And let's figure out how to dismantle this historically racist institution. I'm with it. Okay. And I'm happy that y'all are finally seeing what black people have known about the FBI forever. Now, one thing's for sure, two things for certain.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Crackers really can't handle getting treated like niggas. Cracker ass cracker! Please let Chelsea Handler give all these hypocritical GOP lawmakers who are screaming to defund the FBI the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. Hee-haw! Hee-haw! That is way too much Dan Mayonnaise. You know, if you go to Paramount Plus, the first
Starting point is 00:10:32 season of my show that was named The God's Honest Truth, the second episode I did was called Only the Feds I Fear. And I talked about this historically racist institution called the FBI. So I have no problem with anybody screaming to defund and destroy the FBI. All right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:48 All right. Okay. Thank you for that dog here today. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and
