Welcome back to Challenges of the Radio Program. I'm Gary McKinsey. Thank you for joining. Thank you for joining me. You know, I want to talk about an article that just came out today Saturday. We're on episode 3,393. V has a ball stand. It's reference to Hakeem Jeffries, the minority leader of the House of Representatives. But I want to preface it by saying that it doesn't make a difference when you're religious or political affiliation or your skin tone. What's in the heart always comes out. And Matthew 15 and Mark 7 talks about it. That's the lead in to what's been reported.

Callostinian journalist Ruella Gibral calls that came Jeffries in Apex Monkey. And she claims she didn't mean it in a racist way. I know you heard what I just said. And she took heat from black lawmakers yesterday, Friday, after she referred to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Out of New York, eyes on Apex Monkey. She used a racial epithet during an appearance on Lefty Commentator. I'll leave you to the left foot podcast. As she criticized the black Democrats' support for Israel and accused them of doing the bidding of the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee. She said his name is Hakeem. Hakeem is an Arabic name, which means healer. He's not a healer. He's a divider of Gibral rage.

After Gibral's rent, Ali interjected to note that using the term monkey has a terrible racial connotations. But I think you caught yourself and said you didn't mean it with any racial and animosity. Really? Gibral attempted to clarify. There are three monkeys. One, I cannot hear. I cannot see. I cannot speak. It reminds me of these three monkeys. Interesting. The Congressional Black Caucus rejected Gibral's defense as they should have. To be clear, there isn't a non-racist way to call leader Jeffries a black man and monkey or an armboy the group posted on X. Good for them. The caucus also slim Ali at critical visual writing. This is what happens when we hold ourselves in such low standards

for what's allowable in our discourse. People get comfortable being openly bigoted. We have to stop platforming and trafficking and anti-black racism whether it's on the political right or the left. The CBC added. Good for them. Representative Richard Torres, out of New York, similarly argued in an X-Post that calling a black man a monkey is racist for stuff. If Ali and Gibral were on the far right and no one on the far left would have any trouble condemning them, or de-minimizing humanizing a black man and racist terms. The black congressman had it. The silence is deafening. Gibral later issued a backhand at apology on X. I am disgusted and horrified that he came Jeffries has taken money from APEC

amidst Israel's genocide in Palestine. She wrote. That said, a term that I used to describe him was inappropriate and offensive. It should never have been used. I apologize unconditionally. And Jeffries office did not immediately respond to the New York Post request for comment. Well, let me just say that only she and God knows if our apology was from the heart or just words. They should have never came on the first place.
