Olivia and Regene Bird face assault charges after shoplifting lobster and prime rib from Market Basket while allegedly using racial slurs against staff. Hosts debate whether government shutdowns drive such theft, contrasting this with a guest's denial that Black Americans rely on aid or support reparations. The conversation spirals into controversial theories about race wars, African tribal divisions, and the feasibility of Black self-governance, ultimately questioning systemic reliance versus individual agency in survival strategies.

Grocery Store Assault Chaos00:02:00
Well, this was a wild scene in the West Bridgewater market basket, and the chaos was all caught on camera.
Police say two shoplifters assaulted two employees on Sunday, hitting one worker on the side of the head with a cell phone.
My goodness, the suspects are charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
NBC Times Robert Goulston talked to one customer who captured it all on his cell phone.
That's some wild video robber.
I think those EBT riots are coming.
It sure was, Glenn.
Jeff Cuddy actually wanted to head down to Market Basket on Sunday after the Patriots had that big win against the Browns, but he says when he walked inside, what he saw was even more exciting than that game.
Jeff Cuddy had no idea what he was walking into.
I hear someone go, they're fighting.
At Market Basket in West Bridgewater.
That's why I had my cell phone on me because I put my grocery list on there, obviously.
I look over there fighting like crazy.
Police say, don't you ever want to pull me.
Olivia Bird and Regene Bird were approached by an employee because they didn't pay for several items, including lobster meat, prime ribeye steaks, and truffle butter.
The encounter escalated and police say the two women assaulted two employees.
I mean, you already got caught shoplifting.
Now you're fighting the employees because they caught you?
Aren't you embarrassed?
Why don't you just run out the store?
Try to save what face you have left.
Right?
Yeah.
Cracked him hard with that cell phone right in the face.
And the guy was real respectful and responsible.
And he just let it go.
The women were located in the parking lot by police and placed under arrest.
According to court documents, the women said they were filling an Instacart order, but it was canceled.
But police say they could not provide any documentation of that.
The women then told police an employee put the items in the cart.
You don't act like that, especially in the grocery store.
There's older ladies in there.
There's children in there.
Race War and EBT Complaints00:05:39
The ladies using the F-word, the N-word, using all kinds of words that don't even belong in.
You know what's crazy?
Black people say white people can't use the N-word, but they call white people the N-word.
They call everybody the N-word.
But nobody else can use the word but them.
Does that make any sense?
What's our word?
You can't use that word.
But then you go around and call white people the N-word.
Yeah.
Look at this woman.
Black fatigue.
Like, this is entertainment.
When you go, like, for black people, when they're going through that Instagram feed, they love this.
This is entertainment for them.
But look how, like, the non-black people see this stuff.
It's like, it's like amazing to them.
Like, look at this woman's face.
You know, like, grown people don't behave this way.
Yeah.
In vocabulary.
Cuddy is relieved nobody was hurt and he still cannot believe something like this happened at the basket.
I was thinking maybe when the Patriots just kicked the Browns button maybe inside it was a couple of fans fighting each other over the game.
Not people acting like this.
Offended by everything, ashamed of nothing.
Yeah.
Like that's a beautiful quote when talking about black people.
Yeah, like white people came over with these memes, these phrases to describe the black community.
And it's usual suspects.
The usual suspects.
Black activities.
Black activities.
And I don't have a never relax around blacks right now.
I don't have a counter argument for that.
It's almost their arguments are perfect.
They're perfect one-liners.
Yeah, but this is pretty much, but they say black women are the most educated demographic in this country, according to Democrats.
But this is how black women see the world.
I'm sure y'all have seen the countless TikToks of these black women that's on EBT.
And because the gun is shut down, they're going to start robbing and stealing from grocery stores.
I have no doubt this is what motivated this.
Right, right.
But hey, if you can rob somebody, I think you can fill out an application.
I mean, I would take that course of action.
Is a lot safer, it's a lot more profitable, yeah.
Yeah, check this lady out what she got to say about all this.
I just wanted to come up again.
This is how black women, a lot of black women, see the world.
They think this they rationalize this and say this is okay because I'm black and I'm being oppressed.
We're not even being hyperbolic.
Yeah, this is facts.
Fascist to make this video just to make something very, very clear to the white man.
Black Americans do not care about your government shutdown, and black Americans do not care about you taking away our EBT and our government assistance because black Americans never depended on the American government to what are you talking about?
That's why you're doing this video.
Your dependency on the American government.
Yeah, that didn't make no sense what she just said.
Yeah, I think this whole government shutdown exposes how dangerous socialism is.
Yeah.
If a country, if you can be dependent on your country to feed you, you're setting yourself up for that same country to starve you into submission.
Yeah.
This is why socialism doesn't work anywhere.
Yeah, you're vulnerable.
You're very vulnerable.
But you know what's crazy?
I see all these people complaining about losing their EBT, right?
Haven't seen one Trump supporter, not one.
I can't find one.
Not one Trump supporter talking about, hey, I'm gonna lose my benefits.
I'm gonna go rob somebody to take care of us and feed us because we never could.
We were never able to depend on the government in spite of what you may say.
And what are you talking about?
The earned income credit, EBT.
Like, I don't believe in black people receiving reparations.
You're already getting it.
How many?
Well, these people are.
You know what I mean?
How much money does the black community take in from government assistance?
Well, Chief, that's chump change.
These people want a million dollars as reparations.
Right.
You know that, Ray.
Yeah.
They want a million dollars because they think they're kings and queens.
They deserve a million dollars in reparations.
Because I'm a king.
I'm a descendant from a king and a queen.
That's what you may try to force us to believe.
So you can sit back and you can mock, you can laugh, and you can think that you're about to starve us to death.
But I'm here to let you know that we are going to eat regardless, even if we have to hunt you animals down and roast and eat you, the delectable crackers.
That's crazy.
Look at this.
White people in trouble.
White people ain't in trouble.
Black people in trouble.
They've been in trouble for a long time.
Y'all actually want.
I think these people actually want a race war.
We would lose it miserably.
We would lose like Reagan versus Mondale.
I know how, man, we would lose.
Yeah, if it ever happened, man, I'm bleaching my skin white and I'm going to buy me a blonde weed.
And cheese, we will make it happen if we have to.
Trust and believe me.
And if it takes this government shutdown for black people to finally come from under the government and understand that we don't need to be paying our taxes into this government, what we really need to be doing is taking care of one another, buying land, and growing our own food and building our own nation.
If this government shut down and starvation is what it's going to take.
That will never happen.
Y'all had what?
Black Power and Self-Sufficiency00:02:27
Thousands of years to do that.
Now you're going to do it because the government shut down.
I don't think so.
She actually said we don't have to pay our taxes into the system.
Actually, y'all don't pay anything, especially if you're on welfare.
Everything you put in, you get back as a refund.
And then some.
Yeah.
It's the rich people who's putting everything into the system, funding all y'all's nonsense.
Yeah.
They actually paid for your phone that you have right now, I'm sure.
Yeah, if the majority of our population was black, I don't think we'd have the biggest economy anymore.
I think China would be number one.
You think?
I don't even think we'd be number two.
Well, it's just, I don't know.
They actually said they're going to come together and start their own nation.
Yeah.
Why don't you do it now?
I don't believe that.
I don't think that's ever going to happen.
The best black folks have done in history is when y'all we've been around whites around other cultures.
We had good diversity.
Like other cultures.
Yeah, when we're not in a diverse environment, black, just look at Africa.
It's not very, I mean, big as that continent is, y'all should be the most powerful country in the world, but y'all can't even get along with one another.
Yeah, most powerful continent.
Right now they're a continent, but if they was the most powerful country, they would rule the world, but they can't get along with each other.
Yeah, they're broken up in like 50 countries or whatever.
Yeah, because they hate each other that bad.
Just imagine that.
All these people look just like black people look all like in Africa, right?
They can't even get along.
They hate other tribes.
They hate other countries.
And they're the same bloodline.
That's what happened with slavery.
Yeah.
Blacks caught other blacks, sold them to the white man.
Yeah.
You think the white man's going to golf boat and have to chase down one of them?
Nah, I'm going to pay somebody.
He got cheat, too.
Gave him mirrors and sugar.
Yeah, this is nuts.
The whole situation at grocery store is nuts.
Yeah, let me see what she has to say.
There's like a little bit left.
That's it.
Then let the party begin.
It's black power, baby, and we rise.
Wait a minute.
It's no such thing as black power.
That does not exist.
Maybe in your mind it exists, but in reality, there's no such thing as black power.
