Speaker 1

Some donkey dings just sudd himself. Charlotte Man, I was ready for I never read the Donkey other Day.

Speaker 2

What is it again, Charla donc.

Speaker 1

La? That's true?

Speaker 3

Yes, uh donkey to Day for Tuesday, March twenty six, goes the congressman David Throne. Okay, he is a Maryland congressman, a Democrat running for Senate, and he recently apologized for his use of a racial slur during a budget hearing.

Speaker 1

Now, let me set this up for you.

Speaker 3

During the hearing, David Throne was discussing corporate tax rates and their impact on business, and somehow that led him to use a racial slur.

Speaker 1

Would you like to hear it?

Speaker 2

Here?

Speaker 4

Go? Could you do it better than the other competitor? And with that, could you create a P and L? Stay with it works? So this Republican jigaboo, that's you know, it's a tax rate that's stopping this investment. It's just completely faulty. My people have never run a business.

Speaker 1

Oh my god.

Speaker 3

Now I haven't heard this racial slur in a long time. Okay, this is a throwback. I don't think I've ever heard this racial slur I actually used in real life to be honest with you.

Speaker 1

David thrown at sixty eight years old, though born in nineteen.

Speaker 3

Hundred and fifty five, nine years before the civil rights back in nineteen sixty four was implemented, so he had nine years of segregation. By nine he was probably fully equipped with all the black slurs coune, monkey, colored, the N word, and jigaboo Jesus. Okay, you got to understand, if you grew up when discriminatory practices was still in place and there were segregation in public places, you definitely use some of those slurs as a white man in this country.

Speaker 1

Okay.

Speaker 3

There's actually a phrase called a phasia where you think one word would say another.

Speaker 1

You ever heard that avenue? Yes, you think one word, but you say another.

Speaker 3

So in this case, David thrones that he intended to use the word bugaboo. I don't understand the context of either in a budget hearing. Okay, I don't know why jigaboo, buggaboo, my boo, Acon's brother boo boo from a goods boo with you. I don't know why any boo would be used in the budgeteering, unless, of course, one of these elected officials is getting booed for using a racial slur.

Speaker 1

Now David Throne did apologize. Let's go to the news report to hear what he had to say and developing.

Speaker 2

Now, Maryland Congressman David Throne has apologized for making a racial slur he made jourin a House Budget committee hearing.

Speaker 5

In all honesty, I'm actually not surprised.

Speaker 6

Brandon Brooks of Prince George's County says Maryland sent to Kennedy, David Thron's use of a racist word in Congress Thursday is no big shock.

Speaker 5

I've observed other situations where derogatory languages such as that is used freely in a white household, Caucasian household. Is no accountability because he keeps happening.

Speaker 3

White feel comfortable using this type of terminology and thinking that it's okay because that's the playbook that Trump is using.

Speaker 6

Trone declined and interview requests, but in a statement he says that the attempted to use.

Speaker 1

The word boogaboo.

Speaker 6

But quote, I used a phrase that is offensive and that has a long, dark terror history and should have never been used in any conversation.

Speaker 3

Well, the Democrats are using a Trump's playbook of racial slurs, and I guess, I guess we're doomed. Listening to that news report, I'm even more confused. I still don't know why he would be quoting Beyonce, Kelly and Michelle in a Senate hearing. I don't see where there was room for bugaboo. Definitely wasn't no room for jigaboo. David also acknowledged his privilege as a white man and an elected official, recognizing his responsibility for the words he uses.

Speaker 1

Particularly in moments of intensity.

Speaker 3

Moments of intensity, that is an accurate phrase because I was always told to pay attention to what people say out of anger, because they've been dying to tell you that. Okay, David Throne been wanting to call someone at jigaboo for a long time now. I looked up the definition of jigaboo. All it means, from what I could find is it's just used as an insult and contemptuous term for a black person.

Speaker 1

That's it.

Speaker 3

So this isn't one of those times you can blame this on the Republicans, because this man, David Thrown, is a Democrat, and you know, y'all want to always show us the difference between Democrats and Republicans. But at the end of the day, the day gonna end with one of these white men, regardless of party, calling you something you don't want to be called. Please let Chelsea handle it. Give David Thrown the biggest he.

Speaker 1

Hee haw hee haw. That is way too much. Dan Maynes, Kathy Griffin get in on this. Please give this giant jar male the biggest he haw. I'm not fighting the urge. Do it go slur for slur? Do it no? Don't go s yes, you gotta grow up. If I can't say that's no, I'm not gonna go slow. I see Chris Rock, I'm not gonna.

Speaker 3

Go slur for slur. I'm not gonna see Chris macis Mac?

Speaker 1

What's up Mac? How you guys doing? Big macis hell?

Speaker 3

Yeah?

Speaker 1

I heard the donkey. Why you don't play wibble with Big Mac? Walk in the room. No, it's gonna be take my time.

Speaker 7

But I heard the donkey, and I was thinking to myself, you know, people make his mistakes. Like you said, he's used the term a lot and it upset us. It upset me when I heard it. But you know what, black people, you make things easier when they are in song.

Speaker 1

You know what I mean.

Speaker 7
