Afro Man is Victorious

You're listening to Indusputable.

Make sure to follow and rate our show with Five Stars.

Welcome. It's Indusputable. I'm your host, Rashad Ritchie. We got a lot on the agenda today.

I'm starting off a little differently. I have my friend, the big homie, and the nation's attorney.

I call him the nation's attorney because he's the people's champ. We have attorney Benjamin

Cromp on Indusputable, attorney Cromp. Good day, welcome.

Hey, thank you so much, Rashad. And let me just say on the record, man, we've been at it for years,

and I've seen your evolution, how you have ascended to the national spotlight,

and you always speak truth to power. And now more than ever, we need that. And I just salute you

and thank you from the bottom of my heart because I understand that we have to fight in the court

of law and we have to fight in the court of public opinion. So thank you for being a great lawyer

in the court of opinion. Thank you, dear brother. I appreciate that more than you know, and

iron sharpers iron, you know, the sentiment is 100% mutual. And many people may not know you,

and I have been working together for many years, and you are a dear friend. And I'm glad that we

have some big news coming up. We also have on the program, we got Thomas Lucas on the show,

equal justice. Now, Thomas, good to have you back on the program, sir. How are you?

All as well, all as well, we're so appreciative to be back on and happy to be here with our

Attorney Benjamin Crone. Good stuff. We're going to talk about the national discussion on bail

reform and mental health in just a moment. Before I do that, you have a hell of a book, man,

worse than a lie, Attorney Crone, which is actually based on some dynamics of your own experience.

Tell us about this book and why it's important for the culture today.

You know, Richard, I'm so very grateful because with the attack on black history, black literature

and black culture, for this book to be on the New York Times best selling list for two weeks in a

row because it establishes that we do read, fighting all those stereotypes, and that we do

by books. And so, worse than a lie, it's a legal thriller. It's my fiction debut, and I did it

because my person, he was a very good marshal, said most people would never know what really happens

in a courtroom when you're fighting for the liberty and justice of marginalized people, especially

black and brown people. And so, he said he would always write his memorandums of law,

and his pleadance to be very engaging because he wanted the enticed people to read so they can

be educated about due process and criminal procedure and simple procedure. And so, what I say,

Richard, is what could be more engaging than a legal thriller. I mean, John Grisham,

the Ray Maker Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Collins, they write these books every year,

and tens of millions of people by the books. And so, I said, I'm going to write a civil rights thriller

where we got a brother as the superhero trial lawyer, something we've never seen before,

and it has been received so very well. So, thank you, Richard, for letting me tell your audience,

to go out or the worst in a lie, because it's something that the legal thriller genre has never seen.

First of all, I'm looking forward to it. Second, I'm thankful that somebody like you, the

authentic person who's actually in that courtroom, talked to the families, you received the information.

You have such a lens to tell these stories, but also to tell the story in a way that, yes,

I will call it quasi-fiction, but obviously, there's truth laid within it that's important for

the culture. And I'm looking forward to when you have to sell the movie rights, dear brother.

And be careful, man. And all my friends, they go, it's like, it's crop talking about me.

There you go, brother. I'm elated that on the 24th of this month, March,

you and I will be at Bowie University together. And I'm looking forward to going back

to the area. I've actually lectured at Morgan State University in physics department

over the past couple of years under Dr. Rockwood, who was to chairman of physics at that time.

And so I'm looking forward to getting back up in the area. And to our brother Thomas,

who's our national leader, dear brother, for the chairman of, we're looking forward to the

opportunity to engage two elements, reform in our bill system and also mental health.

These things are connected. They are not disconnected. Thomas, let's talk about them.

Listen, you know, we know about the system and we've been doing this for a while now,

Attorney Crump and Equal Justice now going across the country and educating the masses. It's

pivotal for our organization to get with universities across the nation to educate these students on

not only just how the system works, but the interesting details of it.

Bell reform is extremely important of a topic. A lot of people don't know what bell looks like

until they need to use their right to bell. There is a left and a right opinion on what bell reform

should look like, but we believe it's somewhere in the middle of a common ground idea.

In regards to mental health, we also believe that everyone deals with some kind of mental stress,

mental health. And so what better than to talk to students in the right now of the most pivotal

part of their lives where they're trying to figure out which direction they're going in,

who they're going to be dealing with stresses and pains of school to talk about that, to talk

about mental health, how to get through that, and how to, you know, further on be somebody in life,

and to have someone like Attorney Crump as our national spokesperson and Dr. Rishie as our moderator.

I think we're in good hands and I think the education will be had.

And can I say this, Dr. Rishie? Absolutely. First of all, I want to thank Thomas and Equal Justice

now for being able to have these courageous conversations. Sometimes people say difficult

conversations. People don't like to do difficult things, but people want to do courageous things.

And right now, we really need to get it right with bell reform. I talk about it in the novel

because we know what's worse than a lie. That is to tell the truth and have nobody believe you.

And the fact that when you're in a court of law and you're fighting for your freedom and

you're telling the truth and nobody in the system believes you. That is so deep on a whole

another level. And that's what we have with sisters and brothers all across America

having to lie on themselves, Rishie, and Emma into these Trump, the plea agreements.

And I do mean Trump, the plea agreements because they know that the alternative is so much worse

if they roll the dice and go to trial with a jury of anything but their peers.

And then they end up being wrongfully convicted standing prison for decades for crime that they

didn't even commit. That's worse than a lie. And that's what we're talking about when you have

excessive bail and it's not reasonable and fair. Then you see a force to end into a plea agreement

because you're just trying to get out of jail. And so with your brilliance, Dr. Rishie,

I know you're going to guide the conversation to engage. These are young

minds at Louis State University, this HBCU. But more importantly, we're going to empower them

to be leaders in their communities on these issues that affect everybody. I know I have family

members that have been caught up in the criminal justice system. And I think all of us do.

That is such a compelling dynamic that you brought to the table. And I know we're short for time,

but I want to say this attorney crime. It's interesting to note that in first year, maybe

second year law school, we learn constitutional law. And in learning constitutional law,

you learn this concept is really legal theater. But we learned this concept called innocent

until proven guilty. But it's really innocent unless you're proven guilty. And the prosecution,

they're not supposed to penalize you for exercising your rights. However, in actual practice,

if you decide to exercise your constitutional rights and defend yourself to be able to approach

your accuser in the court of law, you will be penalized because you can either take a plea deal

in order to get probation, but a conviction, or you can exercise your rights and all of a sudden,

they say, we take that off the table and now we're going to give you the maximum of 20 years.

That is part of how the system is so dysfunctional because you're penalized for exercising your

constitutional right to try. Exactly, exactly. That's why I know it's going to be a great

conversation, Richard. And man, I knew you had with the law school and I knew you were a great

news correspondent, but now you're saying you're teaching physics, don't tell me. I'm just saying,

man, I feel that we ain't worthy. Richard, if you count all that brilliant man, but thank you,

man, for what you do for the coach. Brother, it just took me a little more time to figure out what

I wanted to do and I just decided we're just a little bit of all of it. And you know, it all works

out. Iron sharpers, iron brother, I appreciate all of the conversations you've had with me over the

years. Before I even thought about going to law school, you and I travel to Florida, I'm not

not Florida, close to Florida, we travel out to Camden County and to South Georgia together in order

to make some change there, which I don't know if I ever told you this brother, but I actually got

an Emmy nomination from CBS Atlanta because of the coverage of the South Georgia mayor who had

been denied keys. And you and I worked in that case together and we were able to make dynamic change

in that community. I very thankful for your continued leadership. And to Thomas, brother,

I'm gonna see you in just a few days and I'm looking forward to the conversation with the

Turner Cromp. Thank you both for all you do. Thank you. Thank you.

Like Powell.

Ladies and gentlemen, Afro man, victorious. He wins as I predict it yesterday. He should win

his president set in case you don't get to sue people for defamation because your feelings are

hurt. But he is in all circumstances, the jury finds in favor of the defendant, no plaintiff,

verdict prevailed. So the matter will be concluded with defense verdicts. Thank you, Mr.

Plinger. Thank you, Mr. Osborne. Thank you to the court staff and the sheriff's department for

security in the building and we'll go ahead and stand in the tournament. Here we are.

Yeah, we did it. Freedom of speech. Right on. Right on. Yeah, God bless America. Yeah,

I was to the people. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It truly is a celebration of everyone because if he would have lost that case,

it would have set a dangerous precedent about your rights as a homeowner,

and your rights as it relates to freedom of speech. Both of those rights would have been

chipped away at if somehow these officers prevailed. If you remember, they rated his home,

kicked in his door, broke his fence. He has surveillance of this because his property has

cameras. They found no drug. According to the allegation, they did very little to no investigation.

They relied on the word of a confidential informant that was incredible.

And he decided to put them in his video because they were doing things like eating his mom's

pile cake while at his home. So he put them on video. Move for him. Now, here's a recap of what

actually happened during trial. One point five million dollars for Lisa Phillips,

for what she's been through for three and a half years, you knew she was upset.

Just like she knew I was upset and she was standing in front of my kids with an AR-15,

with her hand around the trigger radius shooting me. Just like she knew I was upset and she cut

my cameras, but I'm not a person she is. So I'm sorry for being a victim. Let's talk about the

creditors. For Brian Newman, I'm asking you to issue a verdict for one million dollars.

For what he's been through with his family, the loss of his dream job here in Adams County,

Kenya correctly, the amount of money that was indicated on the evidence bag was more than what

was actually returned to Mr. Ford. Correct. And do you know the results of that investigation?

They were determined that I miscounted the money than my original count.

Can you tell me what's fact about you that receding hairline or Dick refers to, please?

I'm sorry. What private fact of yours does that refer to?

There's a picture of me and see here talking about, see, I wouldn't trust him with

methamphetamine crack-ass alone in my house. But this was plank insectivit 5. You said this was

referring to you. Where's your picture in this? I said you asked me or learned your picture.

And you asked me earlier.

Is your picture in this post?

Sir, is your hairline receding a knot?

Because in order for it to be defamation, it must first be untrue.

And then he cited a whole quote from Afro man, but the quote was not about him. It was about his dad,

which means his dad can sue for defamation. But he cannot by proxy sue for what was said about his

there you go. Put it up for a man. I don't know if they thought this out thoroughly.

The rapper, Afro man, did not defame seven sheriff's deputies or invade their privacy.

When he put out a series of catchy flamboyant and some would say insulting music about them,

these videos portrayed the reality of what happened in a comedic way. They rated his home in 2022

in Adams County, Ohio. And Adams County, Ohio jury ruled on Wednesday no defamation has taken

place in a three day trial. They've pitted two very different notions of personal outrage against

each other. Afro man, whose legal name is Joseph Foreman, successfully argued that he had a first

amendment right to mock the deputies as public figures. And that the over the top lyrics of his

viral songs could not reasonably be taken as literal statements of fact. Now over the top

statements will also disqualify you from a criminal charge. For example, if you say I'm going to put

my foot up your ass, typically not going to charge you within the fence because we consider that

to be just based on anatomy impossible, okay? So that becomes over the top statements,

hyperbolic, insulting yes, but really not the same as saying something that you actually can

carry out, which then that becomes a terrorist threat. So over the top statements working

about criminal and civil, that was the argument in August 2022, a squad of deputies like a SWAT team

like from the Adams County Sheriff's Office broke down his door with weapons in hand. He wasn't

home at the time, but a family member recorded videos of the search on their phone and footage from

the house security camera system shows the officers tearing through his kitchen. The officers had a

warrant to search for evidence of drug trafficking and evidence of kidnapping, okay?

According to CNN News Affiliate WCPO, but they failed to find anything that would justify charges.

By AfroMaz account, the officers left his house torn apart, cut his security video court

to cash from his home, officials later announced that deputies merely miscounted the money and

traumatized his kids. So AfroMaz took his anger and his case to the internet,

working to outmaneuver the deputies in court in the court of public opinion after uploading

the footage of the raid onto his Instagram page shortly after the incident. AfroMaz remixed it

into multiple YouTube videos over the following months, even releasing an album titled

Lemon Pound Cake because they ate the man's lemon pound cake. AfroMaz even featured

our coverage of the raid in his music video. You can check it out when you get an opportunity.

But deputies sued saying in court documents that they suffered humiliation and received death threats

but sued. They just lost. Now, it could be true. You suffered humiliation and you received death

threats. But people that threaten you should be on trial because death threats are illegal.

And the individuals who you are will, I guess, hope you have favor with, but now you're humiliated,

but that's called causing the fact. I'm sure AfroMaz was humiliated by the charges during, you know,

while he was not at home, had to find lawyers to defend himself, was accused of kidnapping and drug

trafficking charges that were echoed on all major news channels in America. So I'm sure he was

humiliated. I would say this about AfroMaz, he did an interview not too long ago and it was about

how he realized he had been empowered by a way of artistry. And he said the one thing that he felt

when all of this happened, he felt powerless. He said, I couldn't do anything but just take it.

That's all I could do. There was nothing I could do. I could not go and kick in their doors.

Then he said when he started to do the music, he realized that they seem to be more offended

and more affected by his truth telling in artistry than he was being the victim of their raid.

And he said it was at that point, he realized that he was empowered with his freedom of speech.

And I want you to remember that as well. You are empowered with your freedom of speech.

That's why it must be protected. All right, Sharon, thoughts here.

He's a scholar. He's an incredible artist. He is, I think they should put him on a coin.

He is the embodiment of America. He's what we should be inspired by. I love that he took his

pain and his uncertainty and used it in his artistry. I hate that they ate mama's pound cake. I

don't know why they weren't on trial and used it something at the top doc about how they might not

have thought this through. Perhaps, or perhaps they just thought that in Adams County,

this jury would just side with them despite their egregious actions. It was sick. And I love the fact

that the attorney he hired with his dry self making all the best points, use the truth,

use the Jasmine Crockett for one bad built body type of defense. It's true. Is your

hairline receding, sir? That's it. Okay, that's right there. They should have just settled

bigger self-mountain said, what can we pay your attorney's fees? I hope he goes after them.

It's really sick, but he's triumphant. I love him. Yeah, typically in defamation cases, if you

if you sue someone and they successfully defend, they have a right to recoup the money that they've

had to pay to defend themselves. Many states have that as almost an automatic rule. All right,

we'll see what happens next. Democrats walk out of Pam Bondi's hearing as representative Lee

is called the B word. Here it is. So I just walked out of a fake deposition fake hearing with Pam Bondi

where Chairman Clomer called me a bitch. So here's what actually happened. We have already

subpoenaed her because she has not been in compliance with our subpoena and the Epstein Transparency

Act to release the full, complete, unredacted Epstein files. She has been withholding them.

She has been obstructing justice since last July and a couple weeks ago, we finally got

bipartisan support to subpoena her to bring her into our committee to ask questions. Now,

today's attempts, a sham of a hearing, was there a attempt to bypass that? Multiple times,

we asked her if she would come in and she would talk to our committee on the record under oath

in the public. She refused to do so. So instead of directing any more questions to her,

where she's not under oath, where she can continue to lie to us, I directed my questions to our

chairman to see if he would compel her to comply with the subpoena that he signed and that he

issued. He could not respond. I had said if she did not come, if he would hold her in contempt,

move her contempt proceedings like he did with other people who he said did not comply with our subpoenas.

And instead of answering this simple question with a yes, of course, he said that I was bitching

and that I was wasting his time and that we didn't have to talk about this anymore. So that's where

we are. That's why we are trying to move to a picture. That's why we introduced those

articles of impeachment because it is clear that she has no intention on cooperating with Congress.

She has no intention of cooperating with the American people. She is not seeking justice for

survivors or anyone else. She is there to run cover for Donald Trump for his allies and for

herself and it's time that we get her out of there.

There you go, effective communication of a closed door meeting where the rules of engagement,

a protocol that has been established is willfully violated by the individuals in charge.

Well, people who are in the room if you are a servant of the public, you have an obligation

just as representative Lee has done. The obligation to articulate the facts of what has happened

immediately, directly and passionately. Put it up for a man.

US representative Somali called out Republican Representative James Comer,

accused in the House Oversight Committee chairman of calling her a B-word saying she was

you know during a closed door meeting. This meeting once again is over the Epstein files.

The alleged remark occurred during an Oversight Committee briefing with Attorney General Pam Bondi,

who was recently subpoenaed by the group of lawmakers for a deposition under oath

about the Justice Department's botched and slow release of the FBI files on the child's sex

trafficker. Democrats called the Wednesday briefing day quote fake deposition end quote suggesting

Republicans were helping Bondi avoid accountability. Not typically in a deposition,

the parties are under oath. They swear and affirm that the testimony given is true and accurate

under penalty of hergery, which is a crime. There's more. Let's put it up so US representative,

Maxwell Frost, who is also a member of the House Oversight Committee,

said of Bondi's briefing quote. She doesn't even say anything. There's no briefing.

There's no nothing. Essentially what they were trying to do is have a fake deposition,

a fake hearing where we can ask her questions and she can answer them, but she's not under oath.

In quote, Representative Frost said Democrats eventually walked out of the closed door meeting

with Bondi and accused Republicans of quote, trying to use this fake hearing, this fake deposition

as a cover. So in a couple of weeks, she can say, well, I did appear to Congress,

which we know is a load of BS. In quote, we don't trust her quote. We don't trust her in quote,

adding quote, you're involved in one of the biggest cover-ups in the history of our nation.

You're going to be in front of us under oath and we're going to hold you accountable and quote.

Now, understand this. She's being protected, not by really a system, not by an institution.

It seems like that, but that institution is empowered by one man and that's Donald Trump.

Donald Trump will not be president forever. Donald Trump may be removed in the midterm,

after the midterms. Donald Trump regardless of how much cover he provides for Bondi and other

top ranking administration officials today. At a point, the institution of the U.S. Congress

will have an opportunity to do what they are constitutionally mandated to do.

And hopefully in that, they realize the powers of the presidency must be checked and they must

be checked in real time. If the presidency gets out of line, the Congress has to get just as

out of line in order to check that power. It's called co-equal. It's called co-equal.

There's more. Speaking of the Epstein files, put it up in a bombshell. Now, unredacted email

appears to contradict Donald Trump's repeated claim that he expelled. This man has said this

on record multiple times that he expelled Jeffrey Epstein from Mar-a-Lago.

But there's a 2009 email from Epstein's attorney.

At that time, the attorney was Jack Goldberg. This email from Jack Goldberg was largely

blacked out by the Justice Department before being released in its Epstein files dump.

But New York representative Dan Goldman said on the House floor Wednesday that he had reviewed

the unredacted version, displaying a large board showing what he described as the full email.

The email showcased by Goldman, a Democrat, suggests that Epstein was, quote, never

acts to leave Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club. And features Trump saying he, quote, may have been

on Epstein's plane as well as at Epstein's house. In the email, Goldberg appears to have summarized

a 20-minute phone conference with Trump's attorney, Alan Garton, and a person named Brad.

And it is assumed that may be Brad Edwards, who has represented Epstein's victims.

Goldberg wrote that the conference was conducted in lieu of depot, in lieu of deposition.

The email appears to contradict Trump's repeated claim that he expelled Epstein from Mar-a-Lago.

A story the White House has leaned on as details of the president's close friendship with

Epstein have surfaced. And if you look at this email in this entirety, you will see that parts of it

Trump is still claiming through his official attorney channels. He really doesn't,

did know about Epstein's extra-curricular activities of criminal trafficking of children.

But that once again is part of his de facto testimony or his defense. But here's what's clear

in the email trail. Donald Trump never kicked the guy

Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago. As a matter of fact, there's a sentiment that Epstein really wasn't a

member of Mar-a-Lago. He was a guest. And so the idea is contrary to the concept of membership.

All right, there's a lot here. Obviously, there's more to come. One thing that we still do not have

is complete context for it all. Share it, thoughts here.

Well, we're going to be lied to again and again and again. We won't get the truth from these people.

However, that doesn't mean that we should stop seeking it, demanding it, holding them accountable.

Pam Bondi has thus far gotten away with it. She'll continue to get away with it. She'll be

pardoned. So we'll Todd Blanche. But we have to be creative here, not because we're a vengeful

society. Although a little vengeance isn't such a bad idea, given all that's taken place here in

the crimes against children. But because we need to adjudicate this, okay? However, we can state

crimes. However, we can get creative here, Doc. You're the man of the law and you probably can

figure out a way, but somebody needs to do it here. And for the representative to be called out

her name by that bull or her so-called colleague is disgusting as well. All of it makes me just

sick to my stomach. I don't know how you can even stay in somebody's orbit who does these kinds of

things. And you know the sexism and the racism is all connected to this. Can you imagine a male,

a white male in particular being talked to in such a way by a member of Congress? Of course not.

By chairman of a committee, of course not. They would not be referred to in such a matter.

But because she's a woman, she has to be a black woman, there's this allowance because nobody

on the Republican side is going to say a damn word about the disrespect that this woman experienced

period. We are going to bring updates as they develop.

Black mothers are forced by the courts to have sea sexes. It's completely unbelievable,

but it is here. Here it is.

The other two health guys are going to be never bothered. It's a real judge for me. If the

not, it's who the courage is by God's will. Good afternoon, ma'am. I know you may be able to see

me on your screen in just a second here. I'll introduce myself. I do see you on.

Can you hear me? Okay, ma'am. I was talking here. You're perfectly fine.

Imagine being in labor for 12 hours. And instead of a support person walking in,

it's a judge on a screen deciding how you would give birth. Dr. J abort certified OBGYN

and this story raises urgent questions about medical ethics, patient rights, race,

and what happens when pregnancy changes the rules. In September 2024,

Sherees was laboring in a Florida hospital when staff requested an emergency court hearing

right from her hospital bed. She hadn't asked for it. She had minutes to prepare and there was no

lawyers or an advocate present for her. Doctors were concerned about uterine rupture after

prior sea sections. She understood the risk and wanted to continue labor unless there was an

emergency. But instead of continuing a medical conversation, a legal process began about whether

she could be forced to have surgery. In most situations, competent patients have the right to accept

or refuse treatment. Pregnancy is one of those few times that right can be challenged in court. These

cases are rare, but they're happening. And they raise difficult questions about bodily autonomy

and form consent, race, risk, and how we define safety. Wow, unbelievable, isn't it? Put it up for a man.

So that guy is in charge of a black woman's medical decision. He has no medical training whatsoever.

New findings are bringing attention to the rise of the rising number of pregnant women being forced

into unwanted sea section deliveries by court order. These are surgeries.

States, such as Florida, are facing scrutiny as lawmakers promote expanded medical freedom for

those who want to avoid vaccines or fluoridated water. While they claim medical freedom for those

who don't want vaccines, they limit the rights of women during pregnancy. Pro-publica reports.

One example involves Cherise de laie. Cherise, who says that during her 12th hour of labor at UF Health

Jacksonville, a nurse and supervisor entered her room with the tablet. On the screen, you got

Judge Michael Khalil. The judge informed her that the state had found an emergency petition

at the hospital's request and that officials want to compare her to undergo a sea section.

Quote, I have 20 white people against me. And because I am informed and I am making an informed

decision, they are trying to take my rights away from me by force.

Cherise, a professional, birthing doula, told the people on the screen, requesting a black nurse or

a doctor. Quote, I don't find that race really has much to do with this man,

and quote the judge said, in Florida, in Florida, mentally, competent patient,

generally have the right to make their own medical decision, including refusing treatment,

even if that treatment has been deemed to be life-saving. However, pregnant patients,

women who are carrying child are a notable exception to the law.

Courts in the state and many others can order medical procedures during pregnancy,

reflecting broader restrictions tied to the concept of fetal personhood, which holds that a

fetus may have equal or even greater rights than the woman carrying the fetus.

Remember when the initial discussion was about life beginning at conception?

That was the argument, and then they branded it pro-life even though they are pro-death penalty,

pro-war, anti-adoption agency money, et cetera, et cetera. So they branded it pro-life,

but it's not about life at all. It's a political leveraging tool in order to cater to the politics

of the Christian evangelical movement, which by the way, many of those leaders have engaged

sexual immorality and pay for abortion. But that was the political play.

There is no law. There is no law in this country to regulate my body.

I'm a man. Best majority of lawmakers are men. They have passed no law to regulate us. They

only have passed laws to regulate women, and they're right to choose what they do with their body.

This episode is brought to by Kolegaard. Do you know what's really scary? Not screening for

colon cancer when you turn 45. The Kolegaard test is non-invasive, requires no special prep or

time-off work, and shifts right to your door. In just three simple steps, Kolegaard takes the

scare out of colon cancer screening. If you're 45 or older and at average risk, ask your healthcare

provider about the Kolegaard test. Kolegaard is available by prescription only. Learn more or

So Ms. Dolay had been clear she did not want another C-section after previously undergoing

three C-sections before, including one that caused a hemorrhage. While doctors warned of a

small risk of uterine rupture, which could threaten both her and her baby, meaning they can both

die or be seriously injured. Dolay said she would only consider surgery in an emergency. Now,

that seems reasonable to most people. Okay, so I'm saying no to the surgery,

unless there's an emergency reason to do it. How in the hell would that be unreasonable to

anybody? She's an informed human being who actually works in the industry herself.

There's more. She says no, unless there's an emergency, okay? Despite her objections,

a judge attempted to order the procedure anyway.

Quote, there aren't any other instances where you would invade the body of one person to save

the life of another, said Lois Shepherd, a bioethics expert at the University of Virginia School of

Law in March 2023. More than a year before Dolay's court order C-section, Brianna, Bennett,

arrived in labor at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. The same hospital where the women in the 1999 and

2000 and now lawsuits had given birth. At the time, Miss Bennett went into labor with her fourth,

her mother's hip problems had gotten so bad that she needed a wheelchair and required some help

from Bennett to function. Bennett did not think she could care for all her family members while

in recovery from abdominal surgery. So she insisted on trying to have a vaginal birth. These are

reasonable realities that people face and medical decisions are based both on the care, the aftercare

and the ability to carry out the aftercare, okay? So Tallahassee Memorial had specialists on staff

and a neonatal intensive care unit equipped to serve critically ill babies. Bennett believed it

offered the count of support she needed to be able to follow her birth plan. The hospital has

handled a lot of high-risk pregnancies at Bennett's labor, as Bennett's labor stretched past 24 hours,

a doctor confronted her about agreeing to a C-section. Bennett said she continued to refuse the C-section.

So the hospital reached out to the state attorney. In an email, Jack Campbell, state attorney for

the second judicial circuit, responded that the court needed to act quickly. During the hearing,

15 to 20 people squeezed into Bennett's hospital room, as what later happened with Miss Delay.

She found herself in front of a tablet with the judge on the screen just like Miss Delay.

As Bennett said, she tried to remain calm, but inside was panicking.

During the hearing, her baby's heart rate spiked. The judge ordered her to have a C-section

and doctors wheeled her into surgery. The operation lasted two and a half hours and the surgical team

had to cut around existing scar tissue and avoid her bladder. Her incision looked like an upside-down

teeth and required a wound back, a portable machine that helps incisions close more quickly.

She said a doctor who visited her room during recovery told her

she should never get pregnant again, according to a civil rights complaint filed with federal

regulators. The complaint is still under investigation, but lawyers for Bennett said they haven't

heard from investigators in more than a year. I wonder why it's that.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services did not comment on the complaint. I wonder

why it's that. Florida has long been the center of policies tied to fetal

personhood. In 1989, the state became one of the first to prosecute a woman for delivering

our drugs or her fetus during pregnancy, billed the Florida Supreme Court later overturned the

conviction. Lawmakers are now considering a bill that would further embed the concept in state law

by granting embryos and fetuses to same legal status as people in wrong for death cases. Let

me take what they won't do. They won't allow child support to start a conception.

They will not allow insurance. They will not mandate insurance to ensure the fetus at conception.

They won't do that. And when you're born, you're not nine months old. You're zero. You're one day.

Change it all. If you're going to be authentic about it, be authentic about all of it.

And they will claim that, well, they get their particular political view from the Bible. Isn't that

ironic? Because in scripture, it says, in Deuteronomy, if a woman is pregnant and a man physical

assaults her and she loses that child, okay, miscarry. That the man who did this has to basically pay

whatever the husband or the male who got her pregnant tails him to pay. It's a civil penalty.

The same Old Testament scripture says, the penalties of killing somebody is to have them killed.

The fact that a miscarry does not carry the penalty of death in their own scripture indicates

it's not the same. So that blows that argument completely away. All of this is purely political.

That is it. Alabama had a law where they would give more rights to a person who sexually violated

someone than to those who were sexually violated. Then you have laws in Texas that would have

mandated an 11 or 12 year old to have a child against a wheel after being sexually violated.

This is insane. Once again, these are the permeations of this ridiculous political doctor.

All right, Sharon Thos here.

Politics and racist politics. I have no problem and I prefer to do it in person and I will look

at the receptionist right in the eye and say, I want a black doctor and I have every right to do

that. And this is why. These are the same kinds of people who all those decades ago, no anesthesia

experimented on black women's sex organs. So that white woman could have better health today.

Better maternal health today than yours truly. That's a fact. And here we are again telling this

black woman what to do with her body. Some white man and it is disgusting. And I think you have

to say it in plain terms like that. White man hands off. Hands off her body. This is sick.

Yeah. And this is why good people that actually care about the values you represent need to be

elected. You don't have to be a career politician as a matter of fact, it was developed

for the late person. That's how real politics should work. The late person to seek political

office, be a public servant and actually give a damn about the needs of the everyday person.

Exima is unpredictable. But you can flare less with eggless. A once monthly treatment for

moderate to superior exima. After an initial four-month or longer dosing phase, about four

and ten people taking eggless achieved itch relief and glare are almost clear skin at 16 weeks.

And most of those people maintain skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing.

Empless. Libri Kizumap LBKZ. A 250mg per 2ml injection is a prescription medicine used to treat

adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40kg with moderate

to severe exima. Also called atopic dermatitis that is not well controlled with prescription therapies

used on the skin or topicals or who cannot use topical therapies. Empless can be used with or without

topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you're allergic to empless. Allergic reactions can occur that

can be severe. Eye problems can occur. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems.

You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with ebglus. Before starting ebglus,

tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. Ask a doctor about ebglus and visit ebglus.lili.com

or call 1-800-LiliRX or 1-800-545-5979.

All right, welcome back. A lot of comments will read as many as I can.

When she's in labor at a hospital, they have brought a court room.

To the hospital room, she has no advocate. She has no appointed counsel.

She doesn't have time, obviously, to contact and to turn her own. It's quite ridiculous.

A fascist killer says this right here is not looking, is not looking out for the general

wear fit of the people. And, Baba Frank's disorder dragon, a compelled medical procedure. Excuse me,

what? That's right. And Aaron J. Brooks, 1977, what the heck is going on here? Why is a jug

deciding what a woman's body should go through? Try it. That's right. All right,

got something for you. Ladies and gentlemen, I wish you caring would.

We have one of those care and self. You know people like you lose their livelihood over

like this. My livelihood? Yeah, your livelihood. Your life gets destroyed over like this. So

mind you'll miss this next time. This is not your business. Yes, it is. This is a public space.

It's a public space. Yes, it's a social society. It's a social society. Get over yourself.

I'm just flying a drone. What rules? When you're blocked, there's always someone watching you.

Where does it say that? Where? Show me. Oh, really? Really?

What did you say? What did you say? What did you say to me? You dumb.

Look at you. Look at you. Look at you. You think you're better than me?

All right. This is the anti-drone Karen. Let's put it up for a mask. She was upset because

well, somebody, a black woman in particular, was having fun flying a drone. And these are

miniature drones that are not regulated by the FAA, per se. But in the book of Karenissity,

it is against the rules. Fly drones near a Karen, according to her, obviously. Sharon, you know,

Karen's now believe that they can regulate airspace. And this is a new evolution of Karenissity.

We have seen Karen's regulate property, like a parking lot, right? But now Karen's

are regulating airspace. What say you? Well, as you know, they make the rules up as they go.

Okay. A different day and about walking to trail. A different rule because she said so.

And she's right. A black woman having fun with something she purchased or was gifted perhaps,

not Karen's business. So she's all over it. Okay. How much time do you have on your hands?

Maybe you're Karen infinite. Infinite when you say black person. Okay. It's your opportunity to

intervene and set some ground rules. Yeah. I just, I can't imagine what is the drone doing to you?

It's in there. Drowning while black. All right. All right. We'll bring updates if there's

enough day to ever bring. Black students call the inward at Pomona College. We have footage.

We have the background. Here it is. Like students at Pomona do not feel protected by that

administration. Students are repeatedly using racial slurs on campus and athletic teams are hosting

modern day black face parties. We want stronger accountability from admin specifically for students

who perpetuate racial discrimination here on this campus. This is deeply disturbing given our

campuses documented history of black face. On top of all of this, our safe spaces have been trash

and there have been no serious repercussions from administration. The chair of the sociology department

recently said the inward and the only accountability that was taken was a lackluster apology.

Furthermore, the BSU was banned from hosting any social gatherings on the Pomona campus without

hearing any official hearing. Eventually, the ban was listed, but that was only after going through

multiple chains of administrations to make that happen. Even after being unbearing, the BSU was

met with unfair expectations that we as students do not have the power to enforce. All of this came

up in the middle of ongoing discrimination going on across Pomona's campus. We are truly

disgusted by how Pomona has been handling these cases of overt racism, especially when it's by

leaders that are supposed to be protecting us. They sent one email saying if you feel some type of

ego to therapy. To a lot of us, this is a direct slap in the face. We see inconsistencies in how

punishments are given out to different marginalized groups, and it leaves us with one heartbreaking

sentiment that just starts to feel like reality will longer on this campus. Pomona College does not

care or protect their black students. And that is why we as Pomona's BSU have been working and will

continue to work on holding admin accountable because we want more and we deserve more.

And you will get more. Help is on the way. Put it up full mass. This will not stand. We will stay

on top of it and we are here for the students. As you've just seen, Pomona College is on the

fire for racist, bigoted incidents on campus that have not been adequately addressed according to

the student body. There has not been a statement directly from the president, so we're going to

call that out. G Gabrielle star. The star. Madam, the bookstaffs with you. You are president of the

institution. Your students have locked significant and serious complaints not only to your

administration, but now to the public because they did not get administrative remedy.

Here's what we know so far. The college recently acknowledged a string of racist

incidents in an email to students, including that a faculty member even said a racial slur.

They acknowledge this, okay? Students say several athletes have repeatedly said the

in-word and have not faced any consequences or such racism. Students tell Fox 11, they received an

email from the school last week. The email to students did not address any disciplinary action

taken if any. There were so many allegations of this happening. And then also that they were

telling everyone that a faculty member had done it, say, Sia, a student at the college. A professor

is also accused of saying the in-word, though it is unclear what the context was in which he used it.

Quote, if it's just something that's verbatim being said without it being part of what we're

learning, it would concern me a little bit. Yeah, say Michael, a student. Quote, I think it's fair to

say that there could have been more done. There's a bit of frustration around the lack of response

to things that are making students feel uncomfortable on campus, says Sarah, a student. The Black

student union says the support offered to them by the campus has not been sufficient.

That will likely be one of the topics of discussion at a town hall meeting. They are holding on

campus next week, March 25th at 7 p.m. in Walker Lounge. To the students, I applaud you.

I applaud you. Hold them accountable. Do not let up. Do not allow them to intimidate you. If they

start retaliating, make sure you get in touch with the indisputable. You have full right.

Log your complaints. The institution has an obligation by law to make the campus racist or racism

free. That is an obligation they have to the federal government to their accreditation standard

and to the Department of Education in order to be qualified to receive federal grants loans

and also, yep, pale grant. That is the bread and butter for most universities in this country.

They have to maintain a racism-free environment by all reasonable and appropriate measures.

If they do not, they can be at risk of losing these very benefits of being an institution.

Here's what else I will encourage the student body to do, the Black student body.

Your institution has an accreditation agency. This is a private company.

Their private company, they have also an anti-discrimination clause within the framework of the

accreditation. I encourage you to file an official complaint with the accrediting body of the

university in addition to the federal government. Now, the DOE Department of Education, they're not

going to do much. We already know what's up with that, but you do it anyway so that you can at least

cover your administrative remedy grounds, but make sure you contact the accreditation entity

in order to make it complete. And if there's anything we can do here, we will.

I want the administrators to remember your lifeblood, the people you're there for,

all the children, the youth, the students. That's what you're there for. They are the lifeblood,

they are your actual CEOs, they are your actual stakeholders, they are your board of directors.

The students are, period. Without them, there is no institution. What are you doing?

All right, Sharon, thoughts here.

You've just given an incredible blueprint, such valuable information.

You're a tremendous resource and I applaud you and I applaud these students too.

You're right. Do not let it go and don't be fooled by what they want you to be fooled by.

Talking about the Department of Education that does not support Black students these days,

do it anyway. Doc is right. There are other groups that won't let up and they shouldn't

and they are protected and make sure you are too. And to the president, this is so simple.

Thanks for reminding her that the board of directors are the students, but this is so,

do you want somebody call that nasty word on your campus? If the answers no, then you simply

speak to it. You don't wait for someone to call you out. You just speak to it.

Hey, we're gathering more. Let me tell you something. If this happened and I really hate the word

even if the fact that this has been reported to have happened, we're on it. That's simple. So you

must like that the word is being used on your campus. And for the president not to release a

direct statement, that's already fabulous in my opinion. You are in a position of leadership to

lead. Sometimes leading has nothing to do with who you can excite. Leading has everything to do

with who you're willing to offend when necessary. And if you offend individuals who may have great

connections to the board of trustees or to financial interests of the institution, so be it.

So be it. You're in a position of leadership. All right. We'll bring you updates as they come.

Hello thing. So you got Senator Mollett, right? He's a tool by the way. Senator Mollett

here he is. Sheer lack of any kind of self awareness that you're going to be leading thousands

of men and women who will be have the use of force. And there's been great questions

in our country about how that will be used. And you think a violent attack is just fine.

So I guess my first question is, do you think that justifying that kind of violence

sets a good example for the men and women of ICE and border patrol? You offer no apology, sir.

And you offer no apology today and no regrets. I don't want to apologize. I haven't heard the

word regret. Haven't heard I misspoke. And it was he did and I made a mistake. Actually,

any of those words. Sir, actually, it wasn't he didn't. And I'm not apologizing for

pointing at your country. Good. Good. So you're you're jolly well fine and you want the American

public and the people up here to vote that may or may not vote for you to know that you supported

the felonious violent attack on me from behind. I did not say I supported it. I said I understood it.

So some very specific questions. What is the primary mission of home and security investigations?

We are we have specific missions that we are targeted to to look at our aspect of protecting

the homeland in different directions at different paths. And in different agencies,

regional either 22 of them there, we all need to be in the same boat. We're on the same direction

working for one common goal. And as I said, let's protect the homeland, bring peace of mind and

secure the secure secure the confidence of the American people. Okay. So HSI specifically is

very important because they specialize in dealing with human trafficking, human smuggling,

you know, counterfeit bank fraud things of that nature. Now to some of the rules that's still

applied to this body, for instance, Dulling with two consenting adults is still there.

I was pointing out what is still legal for 170 years. There's no precedent for legal Dulling,

even then they fled the country. I'm not going to be the smartest guy in any room I walk into.

Once again, another individual getting a position because of the color of his skin.

All right. In case you forgot exactly who we're dealing with here is a reminder.

For tunes like he's self-made, what a clown fraud always has been, always will be.

Quit the tough guy act in these senate hearings. You know where to find me. Any place, any time, cowboy.

So this is a time, this is a place. You want to run your mouth. We can be two consenting adults.

We can finish it here. Okay, that's fine. Perfect. You want it now? I'd love to do it right now.

We'll stain your butt up then. You stand your butt up. Oh, hold it. Oh, stop it.

Is that your solution every time? Oh, no, sit down. Sit down.

You were so upset that Bernie Sanders was able to hold him back.

So put it up for a mass Trump's pick. Once again, he picks the greatest, the best of the best.

What Senator Ron Paul was addressing in the beginning of the video was Mullins comments

following a beating that Ron Paul experienced by way of his neighbor that left six of his ribs broken

in 2017. So now Ron Paul has to approve or disapprove of this man who made that statement in

agreeance it seemed with his beating. Approve him to be the Department of Homeland Security guy

for the nation. Representative Mullins has been appointed by Trump to lead the Department of

Homeland Security replacing Christine Nome. This hearing comms as DHS has been partially shut down

since the 14th of February amid congressional and Passover funding. It's a funding bill.

So the vote was actually eight to seven with Senator Ron Paul, chair of the Senate panel,

the long Republican vote against the nomination and Senator John Federer in a Democrat,

the long Democratic vote in favor of this individual. Republicans hold an 87 majority in the committee.

So Mullins nomination now goes to the full Senate, where he will need a simple majority to be

confirmed. Senate majority leader John Thune. To reporters, the vote could take place as early

as next week. He doesn't know the job. He admits he's never the smartest person in a room.

That's unfortunate. And he basically gave cover for violence against

a sitting member of Congress. All right. Chair and thoughts.

He is so insecure. He's a very small man. He's five eight wrestler, former wrestler.

But he's that guy who it doesn't take much except Bernie Sanders' voice and waving his hand

to have him settle back down. Okay. Only the best people. If he were black, he'd be called dangerous,

not passionate. If he were black, he might have been charged just for that, for that threatening

right there. Actually mean that. This is who we want doing anything in America.

America, look at your life that we would allow this. And for the sweatshirt who was bullied after

he had a stroke. Remember how they talked about him? And they wanted him out of the race.

For him to vote yes to that. Yeah. Randall for once. Maybe twice. I don't know.

A couple of times I agree with him. He's 100% right here. This guy doesn't have the temperament for

any of this. He doesn't fit at all. And that's saying something to this administration.

NBA stopping magic city events.

Causes local fan outcry. Put it up full mass.

Here we go. So this past Monday, the Atlanta Hawks were supposed to celebrate the city's iconic

cultural institution. It is being called adult entertainment location. Very popular in Atlanta,

called Magic City. During the team's game against the Orlando Magic. But things didn't go as planned.

The merchandise was approved. Pre sales got NBA fans in and out of the Hawks basic

cited for an event that celebrated Atlanta culture. You had the big homie, rapper T.I.

Who got to start in the A in part through Magic City. There's an interesting story with that.

Was set to perform at the half as a 10D snack on the club's famous lemon pepper wings.

Quote this collaboration and theme night is very meaningful to me after all the work

that we did to put together Magic City and America fantasy. Jamie Gertz producer of the

documentary part owner of the Hawks said in the release quote the iconic Atlanta institution

has made an incredible impact on our city and its unique culture. Then San Antonio Spurs

player Luke Cornett released a statement quote. In his press release the Hawks failed to acknowledge

that this place is as the business itself boasts Atlanta's premier strip club.

Given this fact, I would like to respectfully ask that the Atlanta Hawks counsel this promotional

night with Magic City. The NBA should desire to protect and esteem women many of whom work diligently

every day to make this the best basketball league in the world. We should promote an atmosphere

that is protective and respectful of the daughters, wives, sisters, mothers, and partners

that we know and love. So what followed was a divide. So a divide took place after this within

the league as though siding with Cornett called the collaboration disrespectful to women and an

overall bad look for a family friendly league. The event was eventually counseled by the NBA

commissioner directly. So supporters of the event say critics did not understand what Magic City

meant as a cultural space for the city of Atlanta and that the collaboration focused on merchandise

and wings. No dancers were ever planned to attend the game in any official capacity. They also

said the league was cherry picking which women's issues they would address within the NBA.

In the days before Magic City Monday was canceled ticket prices skyrocketed.

Showing a clear desire from fans to participate in the now controversial experience.

How it went down a few restaurants within the stadium were offering limit purple wings.

But whether they were provided by Magic City was not acknowledged by the hawks.

A performance steel from TI lit up the arena at halftime. So here are the reactions. Quote,

I feel like I got scammed said Jennifer Jackson, a fan who says she bought her ticket that night

specifically for the Magic City event as someone who just enjoys Atlanta culture.

Quote, there was nothing explicit going to happen at the game. I think it was just a play on words

and like the culture of Magic City and on Monday and playing the Magic team. So personally,

I was not offended. The women that I know are not offended by it. I mean, it's sex work,

it's work, you know, people go to their jobs. It's just something that people do. I'm not

offended by it at all. Phoebe said the league speaking out against Magic City, but not other issues

that impact women was quote, the pot call in the kettle black. Quote, when there are other

incidents such as domestic violence and orange performances, it's no issue.

With Magic City, there was an issue if you've ever been to Atlanta or like me or from Atlanta

originally, you know Magic City is a staple in Atlanta. So you don't have to come to a house gang

to find out about it. Fans also said Cornette is not familiar with Atlanta culture.

Should not have spoken on the matter. People were not allowed refunds either adding injury to

insult the fans in attendance. Obviously cared enough about the game and the halftime show to

still attend once the collaboration was canceled. But many said they had inquired about getting a

refund and were denied that refund. Quote, I found out it was canceled. I'm like, well,

can I get a refund or is it going to be a price adjustment since there is no longer a collaboration.

My opinion, it was false advertisement, Phoebe said quote, I haven't found a lawyer to take up

my case, my class action yet against the NBA because the hawks were all over the collaboration.

So it will be against the NBA. You see that commission or the juice wasn't worth the squeeze, sir.

It's an interesting dynamic isn't it? So according to the NBA, they're doing this

because they have this great care for women. Well, those are adult women that work at magic city.

They have the right to choose. And I believe in a woman's freedom period. Number one, number two,

let's start with the moralization. Let's start with the moralization. You're talking about an

institution, the NBA that allows for fighting on the court and you have never seen anyone arrested.

Why? You see, I saw it is still assault, but nobody gets arrested. Why? Because there's an agreement

we can a nod with local law enforcement of every community that has a stadium where basketball

is played. And let's not talk about the reality of domestic violence and other illegal acts that

have been done by members inside of the league. And there are actual advocacy groups talking about

serious issues that never make it to the spotlight. But magic city did

miss me with this. All right, Sharon, thoughts here.

Bring on a class action lawsuit against the NBA. Are they for real? Really? Adam Silver did

this? This was, as you said, not worth the squeeze. The player, I'm sorry if you don't understand

Atlanta culture. I'm not a strip club person, but I know what the culture is. I mean, you can

appreciate that it wasn't that many years ago. We wouldn't have a Mayor Andre Dickens if they had

muddied the other candidate up and said she was against strip clubs in one of the close magic city.

That's how much everyday people care about a part of the A's culture, okay? So miss me too.

And maybe you take it up, I don't know. Get a group together, but I do think there should be a

lawsuit because you should have to pay for this. And I don't even mean the coins. I mean,

you embarrassed yourself, League. And it wasn't even necessary. Let Atlanta be. It is actually a real

place. That's right. And I have to remind people, during the election of Senator John Ossoff,

strip clubs came together, true story you can find on the local news right now, strip clubs came

together. And in order to get entry into the strip club, you had to show them your voter registration

car. You had to prove you were a registered voter or you had to prove you have voted that day

in order to gain entry into Atlanta strip clubs. There's a whole new story about that locally.

So keep in mind, while once again, elements would like to moralize against these individuals

because of the othering factor, they are likely the reason you actually have some level of

decent representation in Washington, causing effect. All right, sharing always a pleasure.

Have your own program. Tell people how they can follow you and continue checking out your great work.

Love when you give us our lessons, our political lessons. That was beautiful.

Thank you, a stripper near you. Rebel HQ, another installment today. I appreciate that. And I hope

to be back. Doc, I appreciate you so much. We appreciate you as well. All right, remember,

take care of yourselves. Take care of each other. Take care of the planet. Remember the truth is always
