So James Byrd, Jr. dragged from a vehicle by race soldiers three of them unless my memory is in error and I believe context sobriety he had been consuming some alcoholic beverages spirits as they say and his white friends offered him a ride and they killed him dragged him to the Negro cemetery and urinated on his remains and In 2011, they were going to execute the second of the white people who was convicted to the death penalty, sentenced to the death penalty in that case of the three.
Gus T. RenegadeHOST
5:27
one was sentenced to life without parole not the death penalty two were executed but in summertime 2011 June specifically 2011 they were going to execute the second race soldier and Mr. Gregory other victims other white people too gathered in Texas to protest the state execution of this white man I saw it was on a number of news outlets and that was when we had Mr. Gregory on the program I point out again the same way that I did 15 years ago man I am a pacifist I'm against killing whoopee for John Brown what I've had 15 years to think on it and it doesn't make sense now and it didn't make sense then victims guaranteed qualified even to the great Dick Gregory that said I was reminded of that segment during day, whoo, running together, day seven.
Gus T. RenegadeHOST
6:34
of the Peyton Gendron federal death penalty trial here in Buffalo and Gus T is running on fumes it is a little after or not a little it is almost 11pm eastern so it has been just massively long day even though we got out of court early I was doing other things and all the rest of it so just wow we do not have court ever on Fridays And I can only say I was thinking that we could do the full five days of jury selection Monday through Friday and then do the four days a week once we get to the trial, because that'll be more stressful and just all of it.

You wrote about how there was the pull of LA for him, probably late '60s, early '70s, and he really, w- in the tradition of, like, Dick Gregory and Redd Foxx, really found his comedy voice there.
Pete RiehlHOST
28:32
I wonder if you could talk a little bit about what, in the t- late '60s, early '70s, what kind of comedy he was doing.
Pete RiehlHOST
28:37

Carl NelsonHOST
38:21
If you notice a mood, a different vibe, uh, or crime rate, you mentioned the crime rate was going down, it, it...
Carl NelsonHOST
38:27
Do you think th- any of this has any influence? This maybe is a, a Dick Gregory question, who celebrated his birthday this week, but, uh, because he, he talked about the chemtrails.
Carl NelsonHOST
38:35
