Let’s get to the show.

Bruce Anthony: What up, sis?

Jay Aundrea: What up, rta?

Bruce Anthony: I can’t call it. I can’t call it. Well, actually I can, I, I can’t call it because this has been a hell of a start to the show, ladies and gentlemen, just to give you a little bit behind the scenes, I’m setting up here in the studio and for some reason my camera on my mic isn’t working in the studio and I can’t figure it out.

And I just updated my laptop and I’m thinking my laptop did something to cause my mic and my camera not to connect. And 15.

Jay Aundrea: caught all kinds of hell

Bruce Anthony: All kinds of hell. I’m cussing it out. I’m ready to throw it against the wall. And lo and behold, it was human error. I did not have the right plug plugged in. And as soon as I plugged it in, everything popped up.

[00:02:00] And so we gonna be a little disjointed here in the beginning, but we here

Jay Aundrea: Heck of a day.

Bruce Anthony: look. Age is a mother. All right. My back hurt. My feet hurt. I thought I fractured my foot yesterday. Just walking. I was limping in everything.

Jay Aundrea: that’s how you do it. Literally, just walking. I, I sprained my foot. I was stepping. Up or down a curb, it doesn’t matter. I was just going up or down a curb and I said, oh, okay. And sprained my foot.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

Jay Aundrea: sidewalk, curb. Nothing fancy. I’m just over 40.

Bruce Anthony: [00:03:00] Yeah, look. And sometimes we don’t plug in all the plugs. I done recorded so many episodes. Okay. I done recorded so many different things and wrong plug. And I should have known because there’s a tie tied around this particular plug because that’s not a plug that I normally use. And it’s tied around there because it doesn’t normally go into the computer, it goes into a USB like separate thing.

And I’ve got that bad boy plugged in at okay, look. Look,

Jay Aundrea: yeah.

Bruce Anthony: we have bigger issues to deal with and one of them is the unfortunate passing a Mr. Brown Sugar DeAngelo.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. Cancer sucks. Cancer sucks. Passed away from, reportedly from pancreatic cancer.

Bruce Anthony: Which is the suckiest cancer. ‘cause the recovery, the survival rate from pancreatic cancer. Not high.

Jay Aundrea: yeah. So not great. I really, my heart goes out to his son, is of course lost his mother, Angie Stone in that terrible car accident. And now his father, um, cancer is so heartbreaking.

Bruce Anthony: [00:04:00] Wait a minute. I didn’t even know DeAngelo and Angie Stone were married.

Jay Aundrea: I don’t know that they were married, but they do

Bruce Anthony: I mean, I mean that they had the son together. Excuse me. I didn’t even know they had the send together.

Jay Aundrea: dating for a long time.

Bruce Anthony: Oh, okay. I hope that boy can sing.

Jay Aundrea: Actually, yes. He is a musician and he uses the stage name VO Twain.

Bruce Anthony: Okay, well shout out to Sevo Twain. You know, our heart and some prayers go out to you. This is a, you know, this is a tragedy. Tragedy. It really is a tragedy. DeAngelo was only like 51,

Jay Aundrea: he was only 51. Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: and so shout out to DeAngelo. I do have a bone to pick with the general public,

Jay Aundrea: What is that?

Bruce Anthony: okay? And, and I’m gonna catch some heat for this and I don’t care.

I’m gonna say what I’m gonna say. It’s my show. I’m gonna say what the hell I wanna say.

Jay Aundrea: It is, yeah.

Bruce Anthony: [00:05:00] Yeah. I do not like when people put on their social media rest in peace. I miss you so much because this is the reason why,

Jay Aundrea: Okay.

Bruce Anthony: feels like they’re fishing for attention. Why don’t they suffer in silence like I did when Bernie Mac passed.

You ain’t got to let everybody know that you suffering from a loss.

Jay Aundrea: but that’s the world we living in, right?

Bruce Anthony: I, I don’t like it.

Jay Aundrea: I mean, that really is the world. People post what they eat, so they’re definitely gonna post if someone passes away they even vaguely knew, like, you know what I’m saying? So,

Bruce Anthony: [00:06:00] Even if they don’t, even if they don’t know the person at all. In the case of DeAngelo, now, don’t get me wrong, like when Bernie Mac passed, I was hurt. When Prince passed, you were hurt and you might put on, you know, like a little remembrance or something on your social media, but you didn’t talk about, oh, I’m just so hurt today.

I don’t know if I can get outta bed, because we lost a great one. And I mean, yes, we lost a great. But you ain’t know that person personally and stop trying to act like you just lost your can. ‘cause fact of the matter is sometimes people lose their can and they just be like, oh, oh, well. So don’t act like that when it’s DeAngelo.

Not saying that you can’t love his music, but you ain’t know that man.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. But I still, I, I still do sad about his passing is untimely. he had another album due for us in like, at least another decade. I think. We might might like, you know, he puts an album out there 15 years or something like that. But we had one coming, like we were due for one in the next couple of years.

[00:07:00] So, we’re all gonna miss out on like some really amazing work from a really, really talented man. So,

Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Yeah.

Jay Aundrea: but are some people fishing?

Bruce Anthony: Yeah, I was talking to a friend of mine about the passing of DeAngelo and they were like, yeah, I, I knew something wasn’t right, because he was supposed to be at the Roots picnic this past summer

Jay Aundrea: Oh, okay.

Bruce Anthony: he canceled at the last minute. And, and it was like they got Maxwell to replace him. And I was like, Hmm, that don’t seem like a fair swap.

And the person got, the person got offended. They were like, what are you talking about? That is a fair swap. And I was like, no, I mean, DeAngelo’s catalog is way better than Maxwell and, and.

Jay Aundrea: [00:08:00] I, well, I think it’s, it’s a, it’s the Michael Jackson Prince distinction, right? Like, you have two talented people. One is a musician and one is like an entertainer or singer, right? Like DeAngelo played the guitar and the piano. He produced a lot of his music and wrote a lot of his music. And then you have, Maxwell doesn’t play an instrument that I know of. I don’t know that he writes a song. I mean, you know, you know what I’m saying? So, but I still think. were both of that neo soul era. I don’t think it’s too far off.

Bruce Anthony: Okay. They definitely were both Neo soul. Yes.

Jay Aundrea: soulchild already there? Like he was already a part of it because that’s where I would’ve gone.

Bruce Anthony: I, I don’t know, but yeah. Well, somebody told me they heard music Soulchild perform live and ain’t that great?

Jay Aundrea: Really?

Bruce Anthony: Yes. It ain’t that great, ain’t that? Well, I was saying that it wasn’t a fair trade because I guess I’m not the biggest fan of Maxwell. He got two songs to me and the person was flabbergasted that I said only two songs, and I was like, no, it got two songs.

Jay Aundrea: I am also flabbergasted by that. Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: [00:09:00] Nah, it is. It is. It’s that one song that I can’t name and Woman’s Worth. Now, woman’s Worth is actually my favorite song from both Maxwell and DeAngelo. If you put all their music combined, so he has my favorite song, but DeAngelo just got more songs to me that hit

Jay Aundrea: I don’t know that I agree. I don’t know that I really disagree. If you, if you were to say, Janna, you want to go to a DeAngelo concert or a Maxwell concert, I’m going to the DeAngelo concert. I did go to the DeAngelo concert. I went to a Black Messiah concert. I’ve, I’ve seen Maxwell in concert, but it was at Essence Fest.

Like I didn’t, he was on, he was performing, so

Bruce Anthony: right.

Jay Aundrea: [00:10:00] I caught the show, but it wasn’t, you know, but comparing them as performers, also DeAngelo, because he brought the house down. He did like five encores. Maxwell was okay.

Bruce Anthony: Okay, so I mean, so I’m right in my assessment.

Jay Aundrea: I don’t know about catalog wise.

Bruce Anthony: Well, considering the fact

Jay Aundrea: had probably more stuff on the radio for sure.

Bruce Anthony: Oh yeah, well, ‘cause Neo Soul, I don’t even know if they had a radio station. They had a, they only had a episode a TV show on BET and it came on late at night and it was literally neo soul.

Jay Aundrea: it was, there was VH One Soul, which is what

Bruce Anthony: I,

Jay Aundrea: watched

Bruce Anthony: why?

Jay Aundrea: while I got ready for

Bruce Anthony: Oh, they had it in the morning. I don’t trust it. If they had it in the morning.

Jay Aundrea: Well, because it was VH One Soul that was go anything like MTV, black,

Bruce Anthony: What

Jay Aundrea: of that.

Bruce Anthony: out? They didn’t have no damn MTV Black.

Jay Aundrea: I am saying if they had,

Bruce Anthony: It would’ve been named MTV Black

Jay Aundrea: [00:11:00] It would’ve been either in the early morning. Or in the evening.

Bruce Anthony: MTV Black. Well, we played black music outside of yo MTV raps,

Jay Aundrea: Oh yeah. I forgot about that. I forgot about

Bruce Anthony: but I don’t think MTV played Neo Soul

Jay Aundrea: no,

Bruce Anthony: at all. They only played rap. I don’t even think they really played r and b unless it was on TRL. That was pretty much it.

Jay Aundrea: it was, it was pop r and b, like it was, it was like Destiny’s child was definitely on there. TLC was definitely on MTV, like the more pop leaning r and b, you probably didn’t see, you know, Al on MTV, you know what I’m saying? You know, those, those shade on Al, I also see in him in concert, he is fantastic.

Like, but I’m just saying it’s not gonna be on MTV.

Bruce Anthony: [00:12:00] Okay. You know how I speaking still stand with music? You know how I butcher names, right? Like butcher names butcher a lot of words, but specifically names. If you throw a name out there, I’m gonna butcher it. If I said, I love the singer Shaza, who do you think I’m talking about?

Jay Aundrea: Shaza,

Bruce Anthony: Yes.

Jay Aundrea: Shaday,

Bruce Anthony: Nope. No.

Jay Aundrea: Shaza

Bruce Anthony: Yes,

Jay Aundrea: Shaba ranks.

Bruce Anthony: no. Nope, nope.

Jay Aundrea: I don’t know who Shaza is. I’ve no idea. Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: Because the artist’s name is SA. That’s right. Yo. I said that. I said that to one of my princess Wanted, and they just, they just walked away. They was like, Uhuh,

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: [00:13:00] Uhuh. Because at first I was talking about, you know who Leon Thomas is? He did mut. Right. And then had me second guessing like, didn’t he? Isn’t that, didn’t I get the name right?

Bruce Anthony: And then I said, Shaza. And they were like, and I said it with absolute no confidence.

Jay Aundrea: yeah,

Bruce Anthony: No confidence.

Jay Aundrea: You just added letters that were not

Bruce Anthony: That was not that. Oh, when we get to the next segment, I’m definitely gonna be adding letters to these names ‘cause Hmm. They gonna be difficult for me to to tell y’all. So hey, just go, go with it. Look, I’m not good.

I’m not good with words. Okay.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. Just get over it. At this point, over 200 something episodes in, you know who we are?

Bruce Anthony: Right. Shoot. We answered close to 300. We had two. This is 2 66.

Jay Aundrea: Exactly. So by this time, know Bruce struggles

Bruce Anthony: Hey, they know.

Jay Aundrea: the language department.

Bruce Anthony: I would say speaking department, but nah, all of it.

Jay Aundrea: All of it.

Bruce Anthony: [00:14:00] This is an interesting story. This is an interesting story. So I’m going out For those people who are not familiar with the DC Virginia area,

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: Quantico is a base you might know about Quantico from like criminal minds and stuff like that. It’s what FBI,

Jay Aundrea: Quantico.

Bruce Anthony: There was a show, Quantico.

Jay Aundrea: Yes.

Bruce Anthony: Okay. Okay. I didn’t know that, but it’s a marine base. FBI station there, what have you. I was going to visit a friend further south in Virginia. I don’t have a car. I thought the Uber ride would be ridiculous. I was looking at metro stops. Of course they don’t go out there, but I got the idea, the Amtrak, ‘cause I take the Amtrak to go see mom all the time.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: [00:15:00] So I was like, oh, I can take the Amtrak train to Quantico, right? Because Quantico is actually a city. The base is in the city. Quantico is actually a city. And I was like, okay, cool. So I go online to buy my Amtrak ticket. It’s only $12. So I’m happy about that. As soon as I hit pay, it says the price of this ticket is no longer available.

Go back to the beginning to order. I said, well, wait a minute. What you mean? I go back, it’s now doubled. It’s $25. So I’m pissed about that initially, right? ‘cause it was gonna get it for 1225. Whatever

Jay Aundrea: I hit cart, like

Bruce Anthony: it, it should be, it should be. But Amtrak, I guess they’d be on some shady stuff. So I get my ticket, you know me, I’m nervous about being anywhere late to running late, being sweaty, missing anything.

Bruce Anthony: [00:16:00] So I plan my trip to get to the train station, which is literally a free shuttle ride for me. That’s only 11 minutes, but it’s the rush hour on Saturday and where I’m going, it could take 35 minutes. So I leave relatively early. So early. I’m sitting at the train station for an hour, no big deal. I play video games on my phone, hop on the train.

It’s two stops from where I’m where From where I’m located, right? It is just boom, boom, and I’m there. I get off at the station. My friend is coming to pick me up at the station and they’re like, is the station near the base? I was like, I don’t know. I’ve never been here before. I think it’s near the base.

I can’t get on the base. Wow. I can’t be on the base ‘cause it’s an Amtrak. Why would they put it on the base? It’s not on the base. Jay. I get off the train, get on the station, look around on one side. I see. Oh, that’s definitely the base. ‘cause that looks like that’s real secure on the other side. I see basically a town.

So I was like, oh, okay. It must be like on the border between the base and the town.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: [00:17:00] So I’m like, okay, just pick a landmark and I will walk to the landmark. It’s all highways around here. Okay. Just find a landmark and I’ll, I’ll get there. They find a landmark. It’s about three miles away. First I was gonna walk but don’t want to be sweaty, so I was like, I’ll just get a Uber.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: But I’m in the train station and there’s nobody working there. There’s nobody there. I’m all alone. And I start to get nervous because I then realize, no, I’m on the base, the train station is on the base. Ladies and gentlemen, I’m in sweats.

Jay Aundrea: Oh, no.

Bruce Anthony: My ID is slightly crack, which automatically means it’s invalid.

Right? If you got a pill or a crack on your id, it’s invalid. I got a backpack with some liquor and some snacks.

Jay Aundrea: Mm.

Bruce Anthony: Bald head, black man, and I’m on this military base and it’s not just a military base, it’s Quantico. I’m nervous.

Jay Aundrea: yeah,

Bruce Anthony: [00:18:00] I I, I was like, I’m gonna start walking. And I’m like, no. ‘cause I don’t want no people to just jump out the woodworks. Where are you? Look in today’s climate. Yeah. In today’s climate. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I’m like, you know what? I’m gonna order Uber, see if it can get to me, and if it can get to me, it can get me outta here. So sure enough, Uber comes in, I get in the Uber and I say, Hey man you seem like you come around here often are are we on the base right now?

He’s like, yeah, yeah, we’re on the base right now. But I was like, but it’s houses and everything. Oh, yeah, that’s where the civilians live. On the base. Yeah, on the base. I was like, but Quantico is actually a city. No, those are,

Jay Aundrea: grow up on base, like that’s,

Bruce Anthony: yeah, but that, yeah, but I, no, he said it was civilians. So it wasn’t even like Army families. It’s civilians also live in this base.

Jay Aundrea: Oh, so you just, if you work there, you could be, you know, just cleaning the bathrooms. You on base.

Bruce Anthony: [00:19:00] own base. Alright. You own deck. Okay. So I said, oh okay. Like is this some special thing to get on and off the base? He is like, yeah you gotta go into the office, you gotta give IDs and you gotta get paperwork. You gotta get the special clearance to get in and outta here. And I was like, oh you did that?

He’s like, yeah, I pick up people in on this base all the time. I was like, good thing I called you. So I get off the base and sure enough, first of all the base is large. It took a long time to get off the base and then we pass it through the gates and I’m nervous ‘cause I’m like, are they gonna stop?

‘cause you know me, I don’t wanna go to jail for no reason and I’m gonna go to jail just ‘cause I ain’t know the Amtrak Go station drop you off right in the middle of the base.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. Boy, I would be sweating bullets.

Bruce Anthony: I was, this is right after Peter Hanks had just gave that damn pep rally, and I’m like, they gonna make an example outta my ass. I’m going to, I said, at first I said, I’m going to the break or the barracks. I was like, I don’t even know what the prison is called, but I’m going there. Okay.

Jay Aundrea: there and boy, they going, they gonna ship you somewhere.

Bruce Anthony: [00:20:00] Where they,

Jay Aundrea: I don’t know. You, of all, all I know is not knowing that you even took this dumb trip. I would just be like, I would’ve been like, my brothers just disappeared. They just have, they just have video of him leaving his apartment and he just never came back

Bruce Anthony: he just never came back.

Jay Aundrea: and I never saw him again. We have no idea what happened to this man.

Bruce Anthony: There would, I think there are cameras at the Amtrak station.

Jay Aundrea: Hopefully, hopefully they think to look. I mean, really honestly,

once you walk out that building, there’s no telling where you went.

Bruce Anthony: No telling. No telling.

Jay Aundrea: look?

Bruce Anthony: Well, the person that I was going to meet would’ve been like, never showed up, so they would’ve got in contact with somebody. But the thing of it is, so I was talking to a person that’s worked at Quantico and a couple of FBI people, and they was just like, yeah, you’re making a bigger deal out of it than what it actually was.

[00:21:00] It’s like military police is actually very pleasant and they would just would’ve escorted you off a base. I was like, what type of escort? They were like, no, I’m sure this happens more often than you think. And I was like, well, I’m just saying.

Jay Aundrea: know what, Amtrak

Bruce Anthony: Right.

Jay Aundrea: for my little like military ID or something. If somebody is going to buy a ticket to this particular station,

Bruce Anthony: But you don’t have to, you don’t have to be part of the military. Like you could just go to the Amtrak. I mean, you could get off at Quantico.

Jay Aundrea: no, they need to have some sort of

Bruce Anthony: They do. They do need to have a warning

Jay Aundrea: you know, Hey, this station is on the base.

Bruce Anthony: right

Jay Aundrea: to be some sort of warning, because

Bruce Anthony: now. There might have been

Jay Aundrea: I would’ve been like, Lord Jesus, my family never gonna see me again.

Bruce Anthony: Jay. I was circling

Jay Aundrea: to Nicaragua.

Bruce Anthony: [00:22:00] Jay. I was circling the parking lot of the Amtrak station on base, just like, where am I going? What am I supposed to do? It is dark. I don’t want to go into any of the little, they had the little dominoes. I didn’t want to go into Domino’s and start asking questions. I didn’t want to ask questions.

Okay? I just wanted to get the hell up out of there. I was like, you know what? I’ll just catch the next train, next Amtrak train, and just get the hell up outta here.

Jay Aundrea: I

Stayed put until the next train came.

Bruce Anthony: I would love to see a camera of, of, of the station of me just walking around, going back and forth, back and forth. It looks sketchy

Jay Aundrea: suspicious,

Bruce Anthony: with a loose backpack on What’s in your backpack, Bru. Why you here?

Jay Aundrea: Alcohol, snacks like this. Listen, none of it’s good. None

Bruce Anthony: [00:23:00] Nothing. No, none of it’s good. But you know what though, speaking of none of it being good, I asked the question at the top, is this country racist?

Jay Aundrea: Mm.

Bruce Anthony: some people are automatically gonna be like, no, it’s not racist. I don’t know what evidence that you would have that to say that it isn’t racist. ‘cause I have

Jay Aundrea: evidence to the

Bruce Anthony: over 400 years to prove that it is,

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: but it’s not going to end because the next generation of politicians seem like they’re worse than our current crop.

And political just dropped a story. Explaining how and we gonna get into that next.

Bruce Anthony: [00:24:00] Jay? There was an article on Politico and the title of the article is just like, it’s a long headline, okay? And the headline reads, I love Hitler. Leaked messages, expose Young Republicans, racist Chats. Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders, joking about gas chambers, slavery, and grape.

Ladies and gentlemen, I say grape instead of the other word because.

Jay Aundrea: Everybody knows. Everybody knows.

Bruce Anthony: Some people don’t know. So does you, you said in, in the, you know, behind the scenes that you were not surprised about what this article revealed. And I’m gonna get into the details of it in a minute, but just what do you mean by the fact that you were not surprised?

Jay Aundrea: Not surprised that this kind of behavior and rhetoric is still alive and well in the United States of America. No, I’m not surprised.

Bruce Anthony: [00:25:00] Okay, so what does the article tell us? The young Republican, the leaders of the young Republican organizations in New York, Kansas, Arizona, and Vermont participated in a private group chat were thousands of messages containing racist, antisemitic, and violent language were exchanged over a seven month period, the leak, telegram chat named Restore War Room, including numerous offensive statements including praise for Hitler, jokes about gas chambers, great and slavery and racist insults directed at Black and Indian individuals.

The scandal has sparked national outrage and resignations with the Young Republicans National Federation, calling for immediate accountability and removal of these individual chats. So these messages were sent by these young Republican leaders, um, specific quotes, including. Calling black individuals monkeys and watermelon people, and joking about sending political enemies to the gas chamber.

Now, I will say I have heard, you know, the racist jokes about black people and watermelon, but to call us the watermelon people, that’s, that’s original.

Jay Aundrea: [00:26:00] It’s not, it’s not that original. It’s also not that,

Bruce Anthony: Clever,

Jay Aundrea: yeah, at all, like at all. I mean, the message is they love the watermelon people. Like it’s not even to me really clear that they’re talking about us.

Bruce Anthony: yeah.

Jay Aundrea: it is not like, I think it would take me some time to be like, oh, oh, they talk because black people eat

Bruce Anthony: Everybody eats watermelon by the way.

Jay Aundrea: does, but, okay. And so that, okay yeah, y’all are not, I say I’m not surprised by any of this because I’m not, and, but what I’m not surprised by the most is just the lack of originality

Bruce Anthony: He is like, if you gonna be racist, be clever.

Jay Aundrea: Like, be clever. Like actually be funny. everything in here is just like, dude, the watermelon.

People

Bruce Anthony: Just be with some butthead of racism. I,

Jay Aundrea: [00:27:00] Like it’s so lame and it’s so tired. And I was like, I go to a zoo if I wanna watch a monkey play ball. First of all, if you watch anybody play ball, you watching a black person. So you must not be watching that involves a ball.

Bruce Anthony: well, golf

Jay Aundrea: Tiger, tiger, tiger Woods,

Bruce Anthony: tiger ain’t, ain’t ain’t been playing. And, and he, he considers himself Ian, remember, he’s Ian.

Jay Aundrea: give a damn what he considers himself. What does the world consider him a

Bruce Anthony: No, we can’t do that because then you, then that argument can be used against trans people. So you can’t say what the world looks at you as is what somebody says they are.

Jay Aundrea: It cannot.

Bruce Anthony: Okay. I this okay.

Jay Aundrea: race is a social construct.

Bruce Anthony: Oh, you are right,

Jay Aundrea: on people’s perception.

Bruce Anthony: you true this, that, that. Okay. Alright.

Jay Aundrea: not a social construct.

Bruce Anthony: [00:28:00] You right. Well, these people weren’t just like regular people.

These were people that were chairs and even a state senator that were participating in this chat. So most people would be like, well, who’s the young Republican leader? National conference? Like, what does this mean? These are your staffers. These are the, the people who are the next in line to be politicians, to be state senators like the, like Samuel Douglas from Vermont to be, state representatives to be House of Representatives, to be senators for Congress. These are the next people that’s in line because they’re already working with these people. So that’s the reason why this is so very, very important. This is the next, this is the youth

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: of the Republican Party. That’s going to be the establishment in 15 to 20 years.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. I would like to add, I don’t know if you were gonna talk about JD Vance’s response.

Bruce Anthony: [00:29:00] I was, but we could get to it right now.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. ‘cause I guess so,

Bruce Anthony: Well, so this is what I will say. Like both Republican and democratic leaders have condemned elite messages. And, and, and the young Republican National Federation was swift to declare such conduct, shameful, unworthy of any Republican and directly contradicts the principles of our movement upholds.

No it doesn’t because it’s kind of falling in line with a lot of the policies that y’all got going on now. But okay.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: And so a lot of people were fired. Some people jobs were rescinded. And then we get to JD Vance. He attempted to downplay the severity by characterizing the messages as edgy, offensive jokes.

Have at JD Vance, Jay.

Jay Aundrea: [00:30:00] So this man says they’re edgy, offensive jokes made by kids, and kids do stupid things, especially young boys. This was not a couple of 12 year olds group chat. To be in the young Republicans, you must be at least 18 years old and no older than 40. So these are not children. They’re not

Bruce Anthony: And it was, and it was women. And there were women and there were women in this chat, or at least one woman in this chat. Yes.

Jay Aundrea: right. So he, he, he cautioned against allowing a very offensive, stupid joke. It wasn’t a joke. None of these things were jokes. Please stop calling them edgy and stupid jokes. That is not what they are a group chat to quote, ruin someone’s life, listen to me. Now,

Bruce Anthony: Oh.

Jay Aundrea: [00:31:00] what you just said was, we shouldn’t use the bad character and bad actions A person displays. As criteria for how we should treat them.

Bruce Anthony: And how they should get employment.

Jay Aundrea: [00:32:00] Yeah, we are. You are asking us to ignore the fact that these young people are racist, anti-Semitic, misogynist, like we are supposed to ignore that because it’s just a stupid joke by some kids. Why ruin their lives? And this is the kind of thing has judges ruling in grape cases to not penalize the perpetrator because it could quote, unquote, ruin their chances. ever thinks about the person on the other side of that action. On the other side of that joke. That person is supposed to just suck it up and be the bigger person and let this let the offenders rough shot all over everybody. We are supposed to have grace for them when they could not muster a monochro of grace for us. JD Vance, I have an entire ass and I’m requesting at your earliest convenience for you to kiss it.

​

Bruce Anthony: [00:33:00] Yeah. Yeah. Because it’s see, and people, the people that are trying to downplay it, people trying to say, oh, kids are kids. No. Ask show. Show some of this stuff to children and tell me what the response children would have to some of these messages. They would be offended and appalled. Don’t act like kids are capable of this kind of malice.

but these aren’t kids. These are grown adults.

Jay Aundrea: That’s what I’m saying.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

Jay Aundrea: it off on youth because there are plenty of children in this country, actual children in this country that would be offended and appalled to see some of the things.

[00:34:00] You can’t even show them all the things because they’re too upsetting and too harmful and too violent. Before what you could show them, what you could tell them, they would be offended and appalled. Like, you gotta be kidding me. Kids are not dumb. They know what the difference between right and wrong. The people who don’t are these sociopaths are

Bruce Anthony: Mm mm

Jay Aundrea: don’t know the difference between right and wrong.

Bruce Anthony: So going back to them trying to essentially whitewash,

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: whitewash these comments, why is it so important? Because when you see the vice president try to whitewash comments like this, and you see the volume and venomous of the speech of the hateful speech that the younger generation of this party is participating in, you could see the future of the party.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah,

Bruce Anthony: That’s the reason why these are not just. People that don’t have a future in a Republican party. Their future right now might be a little, a little shaky, but then again, maybe not, you know, they got, they could do an apology tour and come right back, right?

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: [00:35:00] And so these are the people that is shaping policy, that are shaping laws in the country now and in the future.

This is what you’re combating. And so when you see, when you see people got canceled for, for saying, Hey, what happened to Charlie Kirk? What? Horrible. Nobody should die, but he says some foul stuff and they got condemned and canceled for just saying, well, no, I’m not saying anything bad about him. I’m just saying to you what he said.

Jay Aundrea: Yes, but we’re

Bruce Anthony: They got canceled.

Jay Aundrea: have grace for the perpetrator while the people who are being oppressed, while the people who are being marginalized, while people who are being harmed, had violence brought against them, are supposed to be giving all of this grace or supposed to be get, just get over it.

[00:36:00] Be the bigger person. No, I think JD Vance says something along the lines of, oh, that we should grow up and focus on the real issues

Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

Jay Aundrea: what kids say in group chats. So let me get this straight. You’re asking the people who were offended and harmed to be grown up and simultaneously and infantalizing the perpetrators, and y’all do this. It doesn’t matter that these are grown people in a group chat. It doesn’t matter. Y’all do this, you’ll infantalize them to, to hopefully garner some empathy. Child. Please go somewhere else with that because you’re not gonna find a drop, not a speck, not a molecule of empathy over here for me.

Bruce Anthony: Mm.

Jay Aundrea: Lose everything

Bruce Anthony: So I asked the question,

Jay Aundrea: of y’all.

Bruce Anthony: [00:37:00] so I asked the question at the top, is this country racist? Here’s a prime example. You are like, well, these people were just saying some stuff. These are the people that is gonna be shaping policy. Racist, or racism is the ability to impact the lives of marginalized people based off of discrimination and hate bigotry is.

I don’t like you for the color of your skin, your religion, everything like that. But I don’t have any power to affect your life on a day-to-day basis besides just being an asshole. Right. Racism is having that bigotry and then having the power to affect somebody’s life

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: by creating policies and laws, and they do this type of stuff.

[00:38:00] And the reason why the JD Vance is, you know, downplayed, is because they look at marginalized people as less than they’re, they’re beneath them. And I, I’ve been watching, have you been watching this Ed Geeing like TV show on Netflix?

Jay Aundrea: I know who he is, but no, I didn’t know he,

Bruce Anthony: It

Jay Aundrea: was given a show for some reason.

Bruce Anthony: No, no. Edgin like the, the, so he’s tied to like Psycho and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Those movies are based off of him and his crimes.

Jay Aundrea: yes. I

Bruce Anthony: Yeah. No, no, I’m talking so I’m telling the audience, but so yeah, I’m, you forget that we are we actually not, not just talking me. And you we’re recording podcasts. Yeah.

Jay Aundrea: you’re right, you’re right, you’re right. I forgot about that. Yes, and I think it’s Gein. I think it’s Ed Gein. I

Bruce Anthony: Now it’s, again, it’s again,

Jay Aundrea: care about mispronouncing that man’s name, but Oh, it

Guen. Oh,

Bruce Anthony: yeah, it’s again, ‘cause I’ve heard it several times. I, I got that name right. Anyway, so I’m watching this and part of one of the episodes is Alfred Hitchcock who created the, the movie cycle based off of Edgin.

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: [00:39:00] And he was enthralled with the fact that it was the first like real slasher movie to really show blood and guts and things like that, even though it’s veritan for now.

But it was the first movie and people were getting sick and throwing up in the movie theater and he was loving it. He was like the shock and awe. He was loving it. It was great. Couple of years later, he goes to the movie theater and goes to see that these movies have now become a genre of their own.

These, they were labeled sex horror, right? Because they would have sex in it and horror and you know, Friday the 13th, Texas saying chainsaw, massacres. Like all the same thing.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: But what really, to me, as I look at it, it’s torture, horror, like the hostels and the saws. I don’t get a kick outta those movies because you’re just watching people getting tortured.

[00:40:00] Not just people being killed, people being tortured. There’s a difference where as a boogeyman and he gonna kill you and you sleep or they chasing you in your woods, he gonna stab you. These are people that set up crazy concoctions to literally torture you. Right? And people are going to the movie theater and they’re unfazed by it.

And I was talking to a friend of mine and I was like, you know, we talk about, we’ve evolved from cavemen, but we’re still extremely barbaric.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: Extremely barbaric. Now I said all of that. ‘cause I bet you’re wondering what, what does this have to do with the young Republicans? I say all of that to say this.

It’s interesting. It’s very, very interesting that they would look at minorities as less than and say they are beneath them when they are holding these barbaric ideals and thoughts. Who’s the real group of people that are less than? It seems to me that it would be the people who wish nothing but hate and agony to people that don’t even bother them.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. Here’s the thing. They, do not see us as human,

Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.

Jay Aundrea: [00:41:00] and they also do not care about our feelings or wellbeing. They do not see anything wrong with these jokes. Right, to a certain extent because they would never want it to become public.

Bruce Anthony: And they didn’t. Matter of fact, there were quotes in the Texas change. If this Texas change ever becomes public, we’re cooked and they are cooked sort of

Jay Aundrea: For, for now,

Bruce Anthony: For now. For now.

Jay Aundrea: I, what bothered me was not the text chain, because there are millions of those all across this country. I am positive, I’m

Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

Jay Aundrea: you know, live near and work with are in group chats like

Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.

Jay Aundrea: My, what annoys me is vance’s framing of it in the

Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.

Jay Aundrea: type of framing is used all the time, specifically for white men as like, oh, it’s just a

Bruce Anthony: [00:42:00] Boys will be boys.

Jay Aundrea: Boys will be boys because it is uncomfortable. To look at the deeper systemic ideology and honestly lack of morality

Bruce Anthony: Hmm.

Jay Aundrea: [00:43:00] that people you are mentoring have, Or the lack thereof or whatever. You, make it so that we have to say things like Black Lives matter because so definitively dismiss humanity, and you are dismissive of any kind of violence towards us. That’s why we say it. That’s why we have hashtag say her name, hashtag say his name. That is why we call the names out because these are human beings on the other side of these jokes. Why do they never ever get the kind of care y’all give to really, really shitty people? I have never in my life shown this level of care to somebody who ain’t worth a damn what. I can’t.

Bruce Anthony: So I asked you guys out there again, is this country racist? And I’ll answer the question for you in a stone cold, Steve Austin voice. Hell yeah,

Jay Aundrea: Now that sounded like macho man.

Bruce Anthony: [00:44:00] it did. I said, hell yeah. There it is. Yeah. I said, hell yeah. Hell yeah. This country is racist

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. That first, at first was definitely a macho man. Randy Sandwich.

Bruce Anthony: and I hurt my throat.

Jay Aundrea: Bruce gonna get something to drink. We’ll be right back.

Bruce Anthony: Jay? I was watching. I know What You did last summer,

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: the newest movie. That’s the same title as the old movie in 97. They didn’t change the title.

Jay Aundrea: I didn’t know there was a new

Bruce Anthony: Yeah, there was a new movie and I was watching it and as I’m watching it I was like, look at these kids looking like the Scooby dude gang.

Right. And that was the last time Scooby Do was the last time I’d seen an animal actively involved in criminal investigations. And

Jay Aundrea: because it don’t make, no,

Bruce Anthony: it don’t make no sense.

Jay Aundrea: it’ll make no sense.

Bruce Anthony: [00:45:00] Right. And that’s, you know, television. Now there are crime sniffing dogs, right. That could sniff out

Jay Aundrea: crime, but they

Bruce Anthony: criminal activities. How about that?

Jay Aundrea: Sure. Yes,

Bruce Anthony: They could smell bombs and cocaine and all the drugs in the communities. Okay.

Jay Aundrea: correct. Yes. also can stop assailants.

Bruce Anthony: Yes, they can, but what they don’t do is help solve murders by telling you who the murderer was. Okay.

Jay Aundrea: because unlike Scooby Doo, they cannot talk.

Bruce Anthony: They cannot, well, Scooby kind of, yeah. Yeah. He kind of talk, but yeah. Okay. You right. Yeah.

Jay Aundrea: talking.

Bruce Anthony: [00:46:00] But that leads me to this story that I saw it’s coming outta Brazil, and ladies and gentlemen, this is a true story. A cold case murder just this month.

Jay Aundrea: Now I know what you’re thinking. No, this is not a new Rio movie, which I believe it was, was Jamie Fox was in there. It was a couple people in Rio. It’s not, it’s not Rio. Three or four

Bruce Anthony: Now this is real. Okay,

Jay Aundrea: reason.

Bruce Anthony: and it is in real di di Janero. So this story took place, like I said, in Rio Dig de Janero Brazil, where police had been unable to make progress on a murder case that had gone unsolved since 2010, 15 years. A pet parrot reportedly spoke the name of the primary suspect in the case whenever police vis visited the victim’s family prompting investigators to look deeper into the individual being named.

[00:47:00] Based on this odd but persistent witness testimony by the parent detectives reexamined old evidence and confronted the suspect, who then confessed to the crime after lengthy questioning. This led to the parrot being credited as a key witness with legal experts commenting. It was the first time a parented statement had ever been accepted in Brazilian legal proceedings.

The bird was later given an honorary detective title by local law enforcement submitting its status as a minor celebrity and sparking debates about the role of animal intelligence and criminal justice. So this, this guy thought that he had got away with a murder for 15 years and his parent was like, nah.

Michael did it. Michael did it. Michael did it. Every time the cops came around, Michael did it. Michael did it, and the cops is like, maybe Michael did it, and he knew the dude Michael got. I’m just making up the name of the, of the, the accused, or, no, the guy that was convicted. This dude got questioned by the cops and he’s just like, you know what?

Bruce Anthony: [00:48:00] Y’all got me. I can’t. I can’t outbeat no parrot. I got away for, for 15 years. Yeah. I went ahead and I did that. It’s funny story.

Jay Aundrea: the dumbest

Bruce Anthony: Wait, what?

Jay Aundrea: I have

Bruce Anthony: Why is it dumb?

Jay Aundrea: Why did no one consider. That a family member who probably knew Michael did it, just trained the bird to say, Michael did it

Bruce Anthony: Well,

Jay Aundrea: The bird parrots mimic.

Bruce Anthony: right, right, right. Yeah.

Jay Aundrea: in the, why would they think the parrot is talking?

Bruce Anthony: Nah,

Jay Aundrea: is mimicking something.

Bruce Anthony: no. Parents can talk. Sometimes they, they can have a conversation.

Jay Aundrea: I, I honestly, I’d like to speak with a ologist about that.

Bruce Anthony: I, is that what they call the bird?

Jay Aundrea: [00:49:00] A ologist. ologist. I just, I’d like to speak with somebody who, who does birds for a living? Who? Deli.

Bruce Anthony: Okay. You’re saying, you’re saying a fan member could have told it, but what if the victim, as they were dying, told the parrot, Michael did it?

Jay Aundrea: I just, I,

Bruce Anthony: time the, every time the cops come around, the parrot is saying that every time the cops parrot ain’t saying

Jay Aundrea: the parrot to say it.

Bruce Anthony: you can train the parrot to say words, but not to say words on command.

Jay Aundrea: Let me guess. Was it the same detective that came to visit the victim’s family,

Bruce Anthony: don’t prob

Jay Aundrea: to the case?

Bruce Anthony: 15 years. I don’t know how Brazilian cold cases work, but I don’t think that the same detective was with it for 15 years.

Jay Aundrea: [00:50:00] alls I know is, this is probably the dumbest police work, and then he confessed to the crime after a, after lengthy questioning, they had that man in there so long. Probably beating the hell outta him.

Bruce Anthony: Oh, you know, that’s what,

Jay Aundrea: us and he finally said, listen, fine. Okay. I can’t take no more. Because somebody was like, I’m pretty sure he did it. Let’s train this parrot. Like,

Bruce Anthony: is that a possibility? Yes. Hey, look, I’m just telling you what the story says.

Jay Aundrea: at, of the fact that that is a possibility means that this key quote

Bruce Anthony: Mm-hmm.

Jay Aundrea: cannot be,

Bruce Anthony: Don’t matter. He confessed. It don’t matter. He did it. He confessed.

Jay Aundrea: He confessed. Did he do it? I don’t know, but he confessed.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah. There are false confessions.

Jay Aundrea: there’s, this is, this is not good police work.

Bruce Anthony: [00:51:00] I, I feel like this is a comedy. I mean, we already had Turner and Hooch. Maybe we have Turner and, and what’s a bird name? I was about to say pooch.

Jay Aundrea: Tweety.

Bruce Anthony: I mean, Poochie could be a good parrot name

Jay Aundrea: No, I don’t. That’s a dog. Poochie pooch.

Bruce Anthony: actually. We know human beings nicknamed Poochie.

Jay Aundrea: Well, yeah,

Bruce Anthony: I thought this was funny. The parrot kind, a detective little thing is a little minor celebrity. I’m going, I’m gonna go visit Brazil and go meet this parent like you cracking cold cases.

Jay Aundrea: this is truly, truly

Bruce Anthony: 15 years. Nah, 15 years. It took 15 years and they cracked this case.

Jay Aundrea: no. Y’all just should have gone over that evidence again. ‘cause the, it was already right there in your face.

Bruce Anthony: I, well, animals do be telling your business whether you want ‘em to or not.

Jay Aundrea: [00:52:00] All right. All I know is if, if I’m the lieutenant or the sergeant or whatever, and my detective’s coming to me. Now I know you gonna just hear me out. I think I got a witness to this cold case now. Hear me out, spirit. I said, get your ass out my office. Get your ass out my office.

Bruce Anthony: on.

Jay Aundrea: over that evidence, go back over that file and figure something out. But don’t you come back in here and talk about no damn parent. Go do real police work.

Bruce Anthony: I know for a fact that it didn’t take ‘em 15 years to pick up on this par saying this victim’s name. So I guarantee you those detectives had been talking to their lieutenant like, look, this parent is pointing us in the direction. If you don’t stop telling me about this damn parrot. And then finally the lieutenant was just like, you know what?

Just look into it. I don’t care no more.

Jay Aundrea: [00:53:00] Just bring the guy in. We’ll talk to him for as long as it takes to get him to confess.

Bruce Anthony: We gotta put hands on him a little bit. Okay, then we gotta put him. But he confessed.

Jay Aundrea: That is what it is.

Bruce Anthony: Oh my goodness. I thought it was funny and interesting. Ladies and gentlemen, my sister is a hater. A hater are all animals that want to do good in the community.

Jay Aundrea: no, is dumb. Nobody in there thought, you know, maybe somebody trying to pair do that.

Bruce Anthony: It didn’t hurt the question. You know, they reexamined the evidence and they say, you know what, let’s go ahead and question them.

Jay Aundrea: They shoulda just did that in the first place.

Bruce Anthony: pro. What if they did? What if they did, and they couldn’t crack ‘em, but they was like, Hey, you know, Jasper, the parrot done say it every time we come up over here that you done did it.

Jay Aundrea: Now

Bruce Anthony: when, have you ever known Jasper to lie?

Jay Aundrea: Right.

Bruce Anthony: [00:54:00] I, I haven’t. That’s right, Jasper.

Jay Aundrea: listen, miss Precious, perfect. Ruffle feathers. I deed you. That’s the murderer.

Bruce Anthony: What they be doing on the first 48 because they always talk about somebody that says something to get them to confess.

Jay Aundrea: Yes. That’s, that’s exactly how to do it. Now, why would they say that about you? Why would miss Precious perfect ruffle feathers say that about you? Hmm.

Bruce Anthony: It is the fact that you’re saying that and you’re not getting tongue tied at all. That really makes me jealous because I’m sitting here saying, Shaza, what I’m trying to say?

Jay Aundrea: Wow. And the thing is, I bet you you’ve never mispronounced rza.

Bruce Anthony: Nope, never. No, never.

Jay Aundrea: and so

Bruce Anthony: [00:55:00] That’s Shaza. I just put an A in there. Did I put an A or a H? No, I put a H in there.

It’s S-H-A-Z-A. Yeah.

Jay Aundrea: yes.

Bruce Anthony: So I did

Jay Aundrea: No problem with the Wu-Tang clan.

Bruce Anthony: none Rza. The Jizz inspector deck ODB Met Man

Jay Aundrea: yeah, no problem.

Bruce Anthony: Ghost Face Killer.

Jay Aundrea: But all you do is just swap out the R or the G with a S.

Bruce Anthony: I’m still having trouble with it. You done said Rizza and Za, but I’m still having, I still wanna say Shaza.

Jay Aundrea: SA.

Bruce Anthony: Nah, Shaza.

Jay Aundrea: Boy.

Bruce Anthony: Anyway. Jay, what do you wanna tell these people before we go?

Jay Aundrea: [00:56:00] I don’t have nothing to say. Listen, this is why we don’t trust the police though. ‘cause y’all using parrots.

Bruce Anthony: Oh, okay. All right. Well, I’m just happy that that parrot was not there when I went to that Quantico Amtrak station because that parrot would’ve been like, he doesn’t belong. He doesn’t belong. And I wouldn’t be filming this show ‘cause I’d still be a military prison or somewhere else.
