Speaker 1

Father God, we ask you for a covering, a healing, a moment of discernment. So many of us are feeling lost, alone, confused, not sure where to turn, putting a reliance on things that are outside of our control, and need to understand or perhaps overstand, how important it is to just be still, peace, Be still. We know that worrying is similar to that of a rocking chair. We go back and forth and forth and back, essentially not going anywhere, leading into the

realms of insanity. But we want to put that behind us. Let us not look behind us, but look forward, because the past is behind us and we're not going that way. May me understand the strength that we have inside, and it's not over until it's over. May we be really reminded of the strength that we have within, for we know that we have survived one hundred percent of the worst days of our life, so why would today be any different. May me ignite our power, maybe stand and

our power. May be reside in our power because there is nothing that is impossible, because if you fall down seven times, you can get up eight Because if you can look up, you can get up. And your location is not your destination. Father God, we ask you for this healing of overstanding so we can stand in your name forevermore. All right, let's talk to me Tuesday. You all ready, let's go. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening.

Because we woke up today and I don't know about you, but it's something better about being seen than viewed. We woke up on the white side of the earth today and we gonna count it all joy. Now it's talked to

We got a lot to talk about. It's Vitamin D live and I'm coming to you line from what Sherman Oaks, California. But if you ask me on a good day, I'm gonna say that dawn day is in LA and I got some news and information and resources. But today I was like, you know, I want to hear from the folks.

I want to hear from the people. What you got going on. What's been bothering you? Maybe you got some news to rejoice so on. I don't know what it is, but today is your day. So I see some people are viewing. Why don't you go ahead and I want to shot you out. If you're feeling me right now, go ahead and comment in the chat. And in the meantime, I'm about to dive in to talk about what's happening, what's happening in our nation, perhaps what's happening in our state,

or indeed what's happening with a person near you. And then this is what the news. Oh wait, I got a news effect right here. Don't play with me, play with yourself, all right, we got some news coming in, a great news coming in for you. Guess what the US Postal Service has put out the announcements, baybaye, You already know what time a holiday season is right around

the corner. And for those who are living out of state and would like to ship something to friends, relatives, loved ones, and you want to ensure that they get your package on time, well, the US Postal Service has announced it's recommended mailing and shipping dates for Tuesday. On Tuesday, excuse me today for the twenty twenty four holiday season.

And what I mean by that the following list that I'm about to share with you are the recommend dates for a package to an address so that it is in the United States, so that it can be delivered on December twenty fifth. Hold on, wait a minute. I got my cousin Trina cash traina. I think it's your birthday. I saw us a notice on your birthday. Happy birthday. I'm coming to you in a second. Let me get

down with this USPS news all right. So, if you are going to take advantage of ground advantage services and you want your package to be received on December eighteenth, I mean December twenty fifth, you need to make sure that it's sent out by the eighteenth. Now. If you are shipping First Class Mail service December eighteenth, Priority Mail service December nineteenth, and if you are using Priority Mail

Express service, that's going to be December twenty first. Now, despite the deadlines, the USPS urged customers to steal plan ahead to ship early. The early you send, the better, don't delay, don't play. That was dawn day mail and ship today. Now, Customers shifting to an address, perhaps an Alaska or Hawaii show adhere to the following days. I'm going to share with you. If you are using USPS

ground Advantage service. They are recommending December sixteenth, First Class Mail Service December eighteenth, Priority Mail Service December nineteenth, and Priority Mail Express December twentieth. Again, these are for individuals who are trying to ship out packages so that it is received by December twenty fifth. Also, the USPS suggests that customers check the complete list of recommended holiday mailing and shipping dates on its website, which is USPS dot com.

And speaking of Wench, did you go ahead and submit your request so that you can receive your your free COVID nineteen tests. I told you they have already start submitted sending them out, so please be sure to visit USPS dot com and make sure you sign up so that you can receive your testing. I'm going to share this information again later on when we get to our PSAs rest in peace. You know I always say we here for a good time, not a long time. Well.

A singer of Sissy Houston, mother of Whitney Houston, died recently. Was it yesterday on Monday at the age of ninety one? As I just say to Sissy Houston is the mother of the late Great Whitney Houston and is a two time Grammy winner who has performed long longside superstar musicians like Elvis Presley and Aretha Franklin. Houston died Monday morning in her New Jersey home while under hospice care for

Alzheimer's disease. Her daughter in law, Pat Houston, told the Associated Press the acclaimed gospel singer was surrounded by her family. It was said by Pat Houston, our hearts are filled with pain and sadness. We lost the matriarch of our family. Now. In a statement, she said her mother in law's contributions to popular music and culture are most certainly, in our quote, unparalleled now. She attended New Hope Baptist Church, where she

later became minister of sacred Music. Houston was the youngest of eight children. Rest in bees and you know you said, Dean, why are you doing this? Because I don't want to be disrespectful or detaint, but because we are discussing sister Houston, I can help. But think of dang, is it disrespectful were having a conversation. Is this a safe space? I was going to bring up the memoir about Whinnie Houston, the rumors. We'll save it to later. It's talk to

me Tuesday. I'm gonna leave it to y'all if y'all want to talk about it. How about that? All right? Moving along, It's twenty twenty four. Election season is here, and I don't know if you know the deadlines for your state. I need you to register, and I need you to adhere to the deadlines. Okay, Now, Americans still

have a chance to register vote. Some states have already set their voter registration deadlines as early as last Friday, Friday the fourth, while others have same day voter registrations as late as election day or November fifth. Now, voters can check their registration status by visiting vote dot gov swipe define the methods and registration your state offers. Now interesting enough, I had all this information right in front

of me. I believe the date is October twenty fourth for online registration in the state of California, as well as in person same day as November fifth. Somebody, I need you to call me and tell me if I'm wrong. Now, do you remember the other day, within the week, I was telling you about Catalyst California. I talked about how they had Governor Gavin Newsom had or not Governor Gavin newsom Day Luna Sheriff de Luna had banned or had made a statement about banning sheriff gangs. You are unfamiliar

with share games and what's that about. Well, a lot of people have been abused while in the prison system, meaning their loved ones have been have lost their lives. They come back with missing body parts, and we don't have any justice. And while us as individuals are preparing to sue, we are preparing to fight. Well, the department is not concerned about it. Why because they're using our

talks dollars to pay for the instuses that happened. Well, this was brought upot because I just came across this story from Black Information Network. A black inmate was beaten to death while naked with a bag over their head. This is what the lawyers are saying, I know, pull up family. A video has been capped from the public shows a naked inmate with a bag over his head being beaten and held down by correction officers until he

stops breathing. Now, this is according to the lawyer. Attorney Ron Murphy says the video shows the moments leading up to the death of March twenty eighteen of thirty one year old j Allen Jones, an inmate at Garner Correctional in Newton, Connecticut. Now, Joseph's family found a wrongful death lawsuit against the state Department of Correction staff members involved the alleged beating. However, the state is trying to get the case dismissed, asserting that the correction officer's use of

force was justified. The state also claims that officers were unaware of Jones's medical condition. According to an autopsy, cardiovascular disease was a factor in Jones's death. On Friday, Murphy filed a motion to seal the video of the alleged beating, which he compared to George Floyd's death. Now, this is

a quote from Ron Murphy. The events in the video are disturbing as the events in the video of George Floyd's death, but in some ways the video of Jay Allen's death is worse, as the defendants struck jay Allen repeatedly violently threw him down twice, swayed him twice directly in the face with pepper spray while his face was covered by a safety veil, all while j Allen was naked, handcuffed, behind his back, shackled at his ankles, hogtied, and having

a schinzophrenic episode in the psyche war of a Connecticut prison. Moreover, the defendants caused j Allen to stop breathing, become unconscious, and then delayed calling nine to one one or starting CPR by seven minutes after it was apparent he had stopped breathing. This is what the lawyer added. Now, Murphy noted that the Attorney General's office submitted the video as an exhibit in the case and cited the recording multiple times in legal documents. Exhibit A must now be considered

a judicial document immediately accessible to the public. Now, Murphy said that the state doesn't want to make the video public because authorities believe and I quote releasing the video would pose a safety and security concern to the Department of Corrections because of the general public would be inflamed and incensed by the video showing Jay Allen's death. Now, the attorney also noticed that jones'es was black, and eight

of the nine defendants are white. Murphy maintains that Jones didn't hit or threaten any of the defendants involved in his death. The state has until October twenty fifth to file a response to Murphy's motion to unseal the video. Can you believe that? How do you feel about it? What could or what threat can a person have? You are hog tied, you have a veil or bag over your head, you have been sprayed, so I assume that

means mazed and you're naked. But you trying to tell me that there was justification for the amount of force that was placed on this man. Furthermore, why did it take up a seven minutes for you to call nine one one after he stopped breathing? Wake up, everybody, no more sleeping bend. When is the change gonna come? When are we're gonna realize that it isn't just defund the police,

It's called reform the police. Let's reform the structure. Because I can't understand how the people that are to make our society more safe, who I am calling on for help, are the same people who are taking our lives. Because you have to remember, at the end of the day, it's always somebody's baby. Remember, at the end of the day's always gonna be somebody's baby. Now, I want to welcome you to call me in a studio eight one

eight four six one fifty four to thirty two. Again, that's eight one eight four six one fifty four to thirty two is times to men times and men tontu men Tuesday. I wanna give a shout out to my cousin. Fie Fialae is on the line. Yes, she is tuned in on I believe you on Facebook. Right, Hey, cousin and her baby's birthday today, my cousin, and shout out

to them. All right, Okay, moving on. If you aren't disturbed enough about what just happened in the prison system, can I tell you what's happening over at Cornell University? Pull up family. Black Cornell students called out the school for saying KKK could speak on the campus now, George Joel that parted me. Joel Molina issued a clarification and I quote regarding his comments on the KKK Now you may not be aware. Let me back up and give

you more of a story. Black students at Cornell University are seeking action after an unofficial set after an official said the school would allow the klu kux Klan to speak on campus now. According to the Cornell Daily Sun, vice president of University Relations. Joel Molina commented on the possibility of a KKK campus appearance during a private Zoom call with Jewish parents last week. Molina reportedly said Cornell University would allow a KKK representative on campus if they

were invited by a faculty member or student group. Following his comments, Cornell's Black Student Union United Students United BSU call for Milinn to be fired. Roughly one hundred and eighty students protested on campus last week. Fire Joel Molino and hey hey, hey, hey, hey, ho ho Joel Molina has to go. Ahead of the demonstrations, BSU held an emergency meeting advocating for Malina's termination. And this is quote. All students of color at Cornell are under attacks by administration.

We do not feel safe seen or heard. Help amplify our voices. We are stronger together now. This was based on an Instagram post. Now, the events of the last week two days have mean nothing. I could be the same, one mass protester said, I see my community mobilize the way I have never could imagine. Now we can can't go back. The demonstration comes off the heels of another protest where pro Palestinians interrupted a Career Fair International graduate

studento Do Momodo. Tall was suspended over his involvement in the Career Fair disruption. Now the BSU has calling for a Tall suspension to be res reversed. If Tall is withdrawn from the university, he could be deported for violating his F one visa status. How does that make you feel? Like, what's going on? What's going on? Like? Why would that be okay? I mean, I want to hear from you.

I would love to hear your thoughts about this. I just can't imagine when you talk about KKK, right, and you talk about the trauma that so many people and cultures have experienced because the history and with the symbol, the near thought of the name, the vibration could mean and would welcome them on campus. Now this comes from

the same individual. Now, I'm a graduate of Howard University, which I probably staid all the time, you know, and I myself there was a time where I was carrying my bag that was 't titled up with the Negro and that just meant that we were educated, we were a classy. But when we have black student groups, does there need to be made room for a KKK group or a representative for that, like, what does that look

like when we talk about representation? Now one person or we can argue on one end to say, hey, one group is for the advancement of people, making room for people, and one could be known as the disenfranchisement of several individuals. But the question remains, is it okay to have the representation? How do you feel about it? Do you think it's wrong? Would you have felt traumatized? I want to hear from you.

Call me in the studio. As I reminded you, eight one, eight four six fifty four thirty two is talk to me Tuesday. Pull up on me because I want to hear from you. Okay, I want to win my good folk at y'all told me. Y'all said, Dawn, I'm ready to pull upon you live and five call me. I have listed some stories that have had some people disturbed, feeling probably a little mustard inside. I want to hear your thoughts and your views on some of these stories

I have shared with you. Okay, all right? And also what I'm at it, I will give you all room to call in. I got some PSA announcements. First off, I'm gonna announce this again on Thursday.

Speaker 2

This is Albert Chargian Johnson, Army Rangers. How are you well?

Speaker 1

Hello there, Sergeant Johnson. It is a splendiferous pleasure to hear from you.

Speaker 2

Did you get my text?

Speaker 1

I got your message that I just read on live, but I'm not sure I got your text. What did you say?

Speaker 2

Okay, well that no, that's what I said. Anyway, you were talking about jobs and stuff, you know, like EMT and things. Yes, Okay, wherever there's a United States embassy, the Air Force flies there. Your military ID is your international passport to the world. But make sure that you get into a profession that you really fink love to do. Do not fall for the oki joke. The okidoke is money because they are going to present you with tens of thousands of dollars to fill positions that are hard

to feel. You're going to be happy with the money, but then you're not going to be happy with your job profession that they want you to do. But you have to get into a profession that you really love to do, to the point where you say, when you get up in the morning, Hey, everybody gets out of my way. I got to get to my job. You're going to be They're going to give you, you know, money, you know, your monthly check, everything you know in the military. But you but you're going to be happy at what

you're doing. That's the key is to get into a profession that's really asking love to do and see the world while you're still young. And you were talking about e M T. After my the last deployment with the Rangers, I became a combat medic, okay, And when you're combat medic, when you get out of active duty, you are e m T basics, which means I became a license Paramedic, Emergency Room Technician v A, Westwood, VA, Long Beach u c l A, the whole nine yards. Even volunteer at

the LA Free Clinic. Now that that's a good thing for all these people to do, is do volunteer work because that's a big plus on your resume. And lastly, do not let anyone in anyone deter you from your dreams, your goals, your endeavors in life. Come on, they don't live your life. And there's only two individuals that knows the real you. That's you and whatever God you pray to. And I am so proud of you or what you're doing for the betterment of mankind and exchoose my language.

Yeah the shit, thank you, ol.

Speaker 1

Wow, thank you so much.

Speaker 2

You're welcome.

Speaker 1

I really appreciate that. And I'm so glad that you highlighted to say do something that you love, because I say it all the time out. But we're here for a good time, not a long time. And if you're just seeking a job because you need some money, it's a job. And what does that stand for? Just over broke. And if you will be a number to an organization, let it be a number that counts.

Speaker 2

Right, Yes, definitely. Now there is a veterans organization for all veterans. It's called Heaven and Earth Oasis Heaven and Earth Oasis. The founder is Valerie heat H E. A. T. H. It's on Selma. You guys can look it up on you know, social media. There's an event coming next month November second. It's free for all veterans and you can apply for you know, for vendors whatever. I don't have the number offhand, but when you look it up you'll see it. You know. Just do your thing. Just do

your thing. And one lastly, like I said earlier, you guys are stronger than you think you are. You have to believe in yourself, not only in your brain, but most importantly in your heart. That's the key, is to believe. And don't nobody telling you what you can and can't do. Come and oh yeah, I hope I don't get censored for this, But stay away from me as a Bank of America and any of its affiliates, they will get you.

Speaker 1

Okay.

Speaker 2

Is very important because this happened to me. Do what your parents used to do. When you pay your bills. You have your bill, come to your mailing address, and pay by check. Stop all this electronic banking because you never know what you're paying for, like direct TV and all these other places. You know, there's too much information that they want from you. You know, get your bills in the mail so you can know what you're paying for because they are getting you bad. It's just a rule of thumb.

Speaker 1

All right. Sometimes you got to get back to the old school. Would you keep your own definitionly because I just saw that there was a it's a major water company. I heard on the East coast that they had had a cyber attack, and you know, it's just a matter of just getting in there. So thank you so much for Sharon, Albert. It's so great to hear your voice.

Speaker 2

Thank you, Okay, because I know I have to go and you have other callers, but I just wanted to touch bases with you and thank you once again for you your people and all of that and all your listeners and stuff. You're doing a hell of a good job.

Speaker 1

Thank you.

Speaker 2

You have a gift that's priceless.

Speaker 1

Wow, Thank you Albert.

Speaker 2

Okay, you have a good one, and all you listeners, you guys have a good one too, all right, y'all.

Speaker 1

Wow, Well that was nice, and I really want you all to take notes of what Albert was saying. I know times are hard right now. I know we're trying to figure things out. In fact, I was talking to a neighbor walking down the street and she was walking her dog seven and I asked her how she's doing, and it was kind of like hmm, But I had a moment to really chat one. I said, well, you know what's going on and she said, you know my job?

You know, I guess they are doing some restructuring and now they have said that her job is non essential, and so she said, I think within the two months she was like, I don't know what I was going I'm going to do, like, hopefully they make room to find in me another job. And she was like, oh, hopefully I find another job someplace. And I said to her,

I said, well, maybe you'll create your own thing. It is amazing how sometimes we can put so much faith and resilience into somebody else's thing that we forget about the power that we have within. You can't allow people to te you know. If that was the case, I would have never went to Howard University. What do I mean by the do you know when I first applied to Howard I did not get accepted. I probably could have been embarrassed to say that at first, but no,

it's the truth. But you can't fail if you don't quit and you don't allow people to tell you no. Now, for me, in my instance, I just didn't do well at testing. It did not put any limitations on how smart I am, how active I am how just progressive? I am. I simply didn't test well. And because I decided to stand up for myself, because I decided to fight for myself, I was able to appeal the decision, and not only did I get accepted to Howard, I

hosted up my graduation and I graduated with honors. Don't let nobody tell you no now, Listen, y'all has talked to me Tuesday. That means this is your opportunity to share any resources, any information that you have with the people. Maybe you got something off your chest. You want to give a discussion about us, the story, or some opportunities that you have taken advantage of it, or you want to suggest somebody else take advantage of call me in the studio eight one eight four six one fifty four

thirty two. Now I just had Sergeant Albert Johnson just called in talk about an event. Said to check on Facebook. Valerie Heath is hosting event. I believe it's at off of Selma November second, that is a Saturday. Be sure to check out that event. And there's also some information that I would like to share with you happening on no Zoom member second. I've been sharing it, sharing it in time and time again, and I just want to

make sure you repeat it. There's an amazing organization called the African American Male Wellness Agency and they are celebrating Black Men's Wellness Day. This is the third annual. Now, as we know or you may not know, black men are dying from preventable diseases and you can be part of the solution.

It's the first sentence in the first paragraph that catching their eyes. Okay, I'm not sure what you meant, Albert, but thank you so much. For sharing. Now I'm going to dive into the advice letter. Now,

I want to be clear with y'all. We would have had a commercial right then and there, but I want to be clear with y'all. When we talk about Vitamin D, it's all about shedding the light on the good and the bad. Because if you want to be better and you wants to do better, well, your goings to have to be able to see better. And so I encourage that if you need advice on your career, your relationships, on your dreams, on anything, that you send me an

email vitamin D after Dawn Dai speaks dot com. That's vitamin D at to Dawn Dai speaks dot com. Now listen, you don't eat the meat to spit out the bones. Okay, we shed a light in all areas. And if you have a comment, if you're listening and you happen to be listening live, I encourage you to call me because I'd love to hear what you got to say. Now I'm just laying eyes on this letter. Fresh fresh? Did I say fresh? All right? Let's get it in check,

all right, Sube Jack. I can't stand my neighbor's dog. O dear Dawn, I like what I'm hearing with your show. But Dawn, I got a confession to make to you. Something's eating away at me for a bit now, Dawn, I really can't stay on my neighbor's dog. No, Dawn, I mean really, really, really really loathed my neighbor's little dog, Nutmeg. This dog is a little white poodle that's no bigger than a box of twinkies at the grocery market. But what she leaves in my yard twice a day, well,

there ain't no twinkies. And this white little dog has buried so many holes in my front yard and now looks like a drunk pirates and six shovels for god where they buried the treasure map? Wait what? And this dog has robbed me on so much sleep that her name should be called white insomnia, because this evil little white fur ball barks loudly all day and night long, Dawn. It even barks in its sleep like it's arguing with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro over mob gangst the money.

Wait what? And when I'm trying to go to work, this stupid poodle always just lays in my dry behind my car and Nutmeg. The dog won't move its little narrow ass up out of the way, so I have to get out of my car every day and go turn on the water holes to get Nutmeg to leave my driveway. Dawn. Like hurricane victims and birthday candles, this

little dog runs from water Dawn. I've complained and complained to its owner so many times, a really elderly Russian woman who always in her bathrobe and flip flops, and she doesn't speak English very well. And well, I kept pointing to her dog, and I kept screaming, get your stupid dog away, over and over again. And then she angrily yells back at me and rushing, and then she throws her empty meskin beer cans and have full for

breeze bottles at me. I want to be a good neighbor and not be the bad guy by calling the cops constantly and going to war over some old woman's dog. Dawn. I just gave up and thought that I'd put it up with this dumb dog forever. Well I was wrong. Three nights ago, Dawn, the Russian lady next door was screaming and crying hysterically and banging on something metal hard repeatedly. I thought someone was breaking into her house, so I ran outside with my baseball bat and my phone to

go help her. Then I saw that two very large coyotes was just kicking the ever loving nine dollars dog food out of the little nutbag, while another large coyote was blocking the Russian lady from rescuing her dog. She was crying horribly, and she had a large metal pot and huge metal spoon, clanging it over and over again, hoping to stop to drive the coyotes away with it. As soon as I saw this, I started clapping my hands and cheering for the coyotes to win, like I

was ringsigned at a Mike Tyson compack fight. I was just screaming stuff like, come on, coyotes, I got a twenty on. You don't let Daddy and the economy down. Come on, you coyotes. You've been training hard in the off season at Taco Bell, so come on now. Wait what it's showtime and Miller Beard time. Let's go you the division chants, it's all downhill and tan sandwich bread

from nutmeg from here. Oh Dawn, that felt so good to see those coyotes jumping little Nutmegs ass ass was like seeing the La Lakers winning an eight bas basketball championships back to back, and then the whole team signing my seventeen dollar tray of nachos after the game. Oh, you don't hear me enough, Dawn. Seeing Little mut Meg getting that hungry coyote beat down felt just like I had gotten free round trip fare and free tickets for

the Super Bowl for the next ten years. And as the coyotes drag Little Muttmeg down the street and into the yellow rose bushes, I took out my cigarette lighter, lit it with my land in the air and started joyously singing, Queens, we are the champions, No time for losers. Disregarded my crying next door neighbor, and went inside my house, laughing like the Joker robbing seventeen banks in Gotham City. With no Batman inside and Dawn without nutmegs insanely loud barking,

I slept the best sleep that I had in months. Dawn, Oh, I was out like an unpaid Spectrum cable bill. Ah, wait a minute, I wasn't ready. I wasn't ready. But then I woke up the next morning. That's when it all changed for me because I went outside and then I looked over and saw my elderly neighbor next door, Dawn. Dawn, she was completely devastated as she sat on her porch. Her white hair was still messy, and the expression on her face was like someone who had just walked out

of a war torn country with no shoes on. She was holding onto Nutmegs torn red collar, her hands still trembling violently, and she was just rocking back and forth slowly and just weeping endlessly and mumbling saw in Russian, all while staring blankly down at the road to where Nutmeg had been Dread had been dragged off to. That's when I got this from her perspective, that dog was probably her only friend, her only constant companion. In two years, I never saw anyone ever visit or call on her.

Maybe as awful as Nutback was to me, maybe she was the only real family that the old Russian woman had and could count on. Maybe Nutmeg was her whole world. Dawn. Now I feel really bad for the way I acted and how I carried on when she really needed me. No, honestly, I feel one hundred percent guilty now, Dawn, How do I even begin to make this better and to make my conscience stop eating away at me. I could have and should have done something. Signed Jake Dakota from Mountain

Lion Hills, Nevada. Oh boy, this one is wild, y'all, this one is really our there. Okay, family, Okay, pause, Jake, Hey, listen from where most people and legal courtrooms sit. If your dog has constantly bad behavior, problems, damaging your neighbor's property or damaging up the landscape, not being on a leash, and is really being on unstop disruptive like you said Nutmeg was, most people would have instantly called the cops and would have gone to court to have little Nutmeg

put to sleep. So whoa, I don't know if that's not my words. So your next door neighbor could have been in real legal trouble. Now. I don't know about to put the sleep part, but I will say first and foremost, I am not encouraging any harm to any animal. I do not want Peter call in up my ass,

all right, that is not what I'm here for. However, as somebody that has been surrounded in the areas where things have been annoying, I too empathize for how frustrating it must have felt to have this dog not only yapping all day, then you leaving little little little trails in my yard. Not only to imagine you're digging things.

There had to be something stopped there. So, first of all, they say, pity the fool, and in this case the fool is you, and I do not have any pity left because for you to go that long and not to follow the report on your neighbor's dog, shame on you. And honestly, if i'ma have to be real on you, you should feel bad and you should feel outright disgusted the fact that you saw that poor dog being pulled

in the bushes. And I do understand you may have been frustrating now because you said it was a little dog. I'm imagining as a miniature poodle, because the last time I seen a poodle, then things can damn there look like a horse. But the fact that you stood there and cheered on is that dog was being dragged away. I will have to look at you and give you the side eye day because what in the animal cruelty

is going on here? First of all, I'm looking at you with the major side eye, because how did you even get any joy of knowing that this dog was about to see its last hours? And it took you so long to look at your neighbor, the elderly I shouldn't a woman to see her her to actually feel to show sympathy for that. Now, I do understand that you have been annoyed. Not here's my thing. Maybe it

would not have been right. Maybe something to make the ball noise nauseous in your yard, to warn a neighbor, to say, hey, you don't want your dog crossing over here, because I may have some things to make your dog sick. I don't know, because then that's dog poisoning. But the fact that you might even got a sliver of joy that this dog was in danger, that's a lot going on. That's a lot going on, and I don't know how

to feel about it. But nevertheless, I am very grateful that you did write to me about this issue, because I know it's a lot of people, whether you dealing with a dog or whether you're dealing with some annoying, pesky animal verment that is constantly coming into your yard. So I think the right thing was done here, and I think what you can do is step further up is to go up to your neighbor and express your

condolenescens because, like you said, that animal was somebody's baby. Okay, all right, Well that's all I got for Jake from Dakota. I don't even know if you needed my advice on anything, because the only thing that you need to do is pull up on her and check up on her. It ain't like you had to get rid of the dog, because not a dog is gone. So what you want me to give you the best excuse or the best remedy to apologize or to show your sympathies. No, grow up,

show up, pull up, step up. You know you might have been annoyed, but shoot, she didn't deserve to have her baby gone. That's what I got to say. All of that, all right, If you need some advice on anything that's going on in your life, career, relationships, a past problem, identity issues, I want you to email me Vitamin D at Dawn Dai speaks dot com. That's Vitamin D at Dawn Dai speaks dot com. Okay, what I said for the advice centor, And like I told you,

it's a tal to menton to menton to mentonsday. Pull up on me, call me in the studio right now. Eight one a four six thirty two. That's eight one a four six one fifty four thirty two.
