Say it again, Charlamagne. I'm a donkey. Yes, you are a donkey. So I'll show you how to act a donkey. Everything that Charlamagne is saying is true. Yes, donkey of the day for Tuesday, August 13th goes to Vera Liddell. Now, Vera is a school district official in Chicago who was recently given a nine-year jail sentence after pleading guilty to stealing $1.5 million worth of, you know what?

Let's go to Fox 26 Houston for the report, please. Chasing chicken wing dreams during the pandemic was a mission Vera Liddell in Chicago was on, and the slick-ass senior citizen had no chill. Prosecutors say the Harvey School District Food Service manager stood on business. She ordered over 11,000 cases of chicken wings that never touched the longing lips of any students. The total loss to the damn district was 1.5 million dollars. So the question is what did the looting lunch lady do with the wandering wings? Vera Liddell was arrested and

faces felony charges now. For now she's booked in the Cook County Jail, where she will get three hots and a cot, but not likely any of those damn chicken wings. Who is that on Fox 26 with all that amazing alliteration? He said damn wings? Drop one of Clue's bombs for whoever that was. Find me that person's name. Stood on business.

Wow. Vera, this is the biggest of big backtivities since big backs have been doing big backtivities. Okay, we all know inflation has been bad, but when did chicken wings start costing more than a small country's GDP? 1.5 million? Vera stole $1.5 million in chicken wings

during the pandemic. All these wings that were meant for children doing remote learning, but who were still picking up school meals, right? All these kids were doing remote learning, but they were still picking up school meals. So all the chicken wings were for them. Barry Liddell stole them all, okay?

Barry Liddell stole enough chicken wings to last through 1,000 Rock Nation Super Bowl halftime shows. Let me tell you something, man. Whether it's Governor Tim Walz in Minnesota or Governor Josh Peril in Pennsylvania, if you have some type of universal food program, breakfast, lunch, whatever it is, I salute you. OK, I am an ambassador for the Food Bank in Harlem. They provide groceries and free meals for people. I salute the work they do. If you want to support, go to Food Bank NYC dot org. The city of Charleston, South Carolina, Hope Center. They provide food assistance for the homeless in Charleston, South Carolina.

Hell, this weekend, this Saturday, I'm doing my ninth annual book bag driving school supply giveaway in Monk's Corner, South Carolina at the Berkeley High School student parking lot from 10 to 1. We got free fried fish plates and I got the mini mart Caribbean grocery and cuisine. They're going to have a food truck out there providing free Jamaican food. Okay. The moral of the story is my point is the hood got to eat, man, all right? Folks is out here starving, and some of us are trying to do our best to make sure they eat. So to me,

Vera, what you did is diabolical. You was literally taking food out of the mouths of babies, all right? These chicken wings were for take-home meals for students learning remotely during the pandemic. The school district was providing meals for the students that their families could pick up. Drop one of Clues bombs for Harvey School District 152 near Chicago. These are the kind of stories that I like to hear about, all right? Take a burden off people. Folks out here hurting. Put some food in some folks' stomach. I love it. Vera, you're 68 years old. That's what you're supposed to be doing. Putting food in kids' stomachs. You're supposed to be big mama. What happened to the big mamas that used to make

sure everybody ate? Okay. Vera, 11,000 cases of chicken wings. You must've sold those to Harold's for the low. All right, come on now. One of these fried chicken places in Chicago came up. Who was it? Chicago's home of chicken and waffles. Uncle Remus, saucy fried chicken beer. You didn't do this without a plan. You don't just steal 11,000 cases of chicken wings, $1.5 million in chicken wings and not have a place to sell them. Clearly you don't believe in snitching. Okay.

But you 68 and you got nine years. That means you about to be in prison until you 77. Lord have mercy. Those wings you stole aren't the only thing that's fried because there's no way in hell I would want to spend my golden years behind bars. I did some research, and by research I mean chat GPT, and I did some Googles. The question I asked was, what should you be doing in your 70s? Here are some things they said.

Staying active, pursuing hobbiesuing hobbies. Socializing. Traveling. Can't do that in prison. Planning for the future. Well, at least you know where you're going to be for the next nine years. She could socialize in prison. Not the way she probably want to. The moral of the story is nowhere on this list did it say be in prison. Okay, when you're

70 plus, you should be taking the time to enjoy the fruits of your labor and the relationships you've built over the years if them people still alive. But no! Vera, you should be taking the time to enjoy the fruits of your labor and the relationships you've built over the years, if them people still alive. But no, Vera, you want to steal chicken wings from the kids. At what point do we realize there is no right way to do the wrong thing? I don't care what age you are. If you can spend time, energy, and brain power planning schemes like this, stealing stealing 11,000 in chicken wings 1.5 million dollars in chicken wings if you can work for the school district learn how things are working internally and then come up with the

idea to successfully order and steal this much chicken wings then you can truly do any damn thing you put your mind to I believe in you even if you don't believe in yourself please give Vera Liddell the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons. Oh, no. You are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. I just felt a big shadow cast over me.

What happened? Did you play Wobble? I had a Wobble Wobble music. There you go. Big Mac. Wobble Wobble music. President of the Fat Lives Matter committee. Who's actually slimming down.

Well, no, it's the animals. I was in the bathroom and I heard you talking about chicken. So I came out here just to let you know, to put some insight. Okay. Because I first have some experience in this firsthand. Okay. When I worked at Burger King, I used to order extra cookies, because they never used to really make as many cookies as they sell.

And I used to order the boxes extra, and then I would steal the boxes and take it home. And we used to sell them to the little mom-and-pop type of spots that have bakeries and shit. We used to sell them cookie dough to that. You can't curse. You just curse. Here's the thing. I wouldn't have no problem with that if you actually just gave the cookies away to the kids.

If you did that and gave them away, but the fact you were selling them to the kids. Not to the kids. To the mom and pops that had bakeries that they would sell stuff like that. I'd be like, yo, you want some cookie dough? We got some top of the line, high grade cookie dough stuff know, they would sell stuff like that. I'd be like, yo, you want some cookie dough? We got some top-of-the-line, high-grade cookie dough stuff. And they would buy the boxes and stuff.

For some reason, I don't believe your cookies made it to the shops. I believe that, too. Some of them did. I don't know why. 1,000%. I promise you, if we would do, like, five boxes a week, I promise you three and a half would make it. Is the statute of limitations up, or can you still get arrested for this?

Oh, is that? You just missed on yourself. I can't get jammed up for that, right? I'm sure you can. I'm sure you can. They, is that? You just disdained yourself. I can't get jammed up for that, right? I'm sure you can. I'm sure you can. They don't know what Burger King it was, though. What state? See, you trying to get me jammed?

No. You was about to say it, too. I almost did, too. But no, no, no. You know what? Never mind. My bad, y'all. Allegedly.

Allegedly. The moral of the story is you hear that harebrained scheme Matt came up with. I'm glad you started using that energy to be more creative and become a comedian and write jokes. You know what I mean? You did something with that, okay? If you can come up with harebrained schemes like that,

the steel, you can do anything. True, but that's, you know what I mean, that's right now. When's the last time you stole food? Food or in general? Bye, man. Have a good day, sir. Jesus Christ. Oh, my God.

All right. Vera. God bless Vera, though. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Vera might be the first colored in the history of colors to order 11,000-piece All Flaps. On TV.
