situation doesn t happen again. what i want is for a young man or young men to not be traumatized by this and instead motivated, inspired. this has been going on for years and everyone s blind to it but they know what s going on, if you get what i mean. you know, just really taking those actions and putting them in their place and help people understand that it s not just a black people thing. this is a people thing. and that s exactly what we want to see out of this and that s true change. so put action into place and stop using your words. not just a black people thing but a people thing. solomon jones is with me, radio host for philadelphia s praise 107.9. solomon, thank you so much. i know this has been a huge, huge topic for you on your show. thanks for joining me. yes, it has. thanks for having me, brooke.
tired. same old. those from the rnc, all those that signed a pledge that donald trump basically brow beat to get their support if they wouldn t give it willingly, now speaker ryan who he courted and tried to maintain a relationship to have the top republican in congress support him. he s still not pulling his endorsement, but what does that mean for donald trump and knowing that while he he wants to get elected president, wonts he like to maintain the house and the congress? doesn t he worry those down-ballot mccain, ayotte, they never endorsed. ryan, mccain who i respect greatly and worked nor 08, always tepid supporters and took a long time to decide. there s no there s no mystery here. the d.c. establishment, owned by republicans, have never been with donald trump. why? because donald trump is a change agent, a true change agent. sometimes it seems like some of these republicans would rather
