11
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: God so big to me, man, I just have to

12
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: tell you about it. I can't help it. It's rather

13
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: obvious to me how big, how good God is. He's

14
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: absolutely tremendous. He's off the chain, you know, man, I

15
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: want to share something with you today. You know, if

16
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: you're out there, start your mission today. Why don't we

17
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: all decide together better yet? Let's just kill that because

18
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: you don't that just individually. Look you listening, everybody's got

19
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: something that's that's on the table that they haven't yet

20
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: attacked yet. What are you waiting for? Start your mission today?

21
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: Stop the procrastination now, and if you and if you

22
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: allow practical excuse, man, if you allow procrastination to set in,

23
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: then that that allows then which is a weakness, you know,

24
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: but that allows the devil then to just really do

25
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: his thing, because an idle mind is the devil's playground.

26
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: So if you ain't working on your goal's dreams, aspirations

27
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: or visions, and you you just waking up seeing how

28
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: today gonna go, or the devil he got plenty for

29
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 1: it for you to do. See. But if you get

30
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: your mind right on your goal and your focus and

31
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: your purpose, then you can go on about your business.

32
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: Then when the distraction comes, you can catch yourself. Now

33
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: that don't mean you ain't gonna fall privy or fall

34
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: prey to some of your distractions, because you will, but

35
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: you will have a goal in mind, an aspiration that

36
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: makes you go. Hold on, man, I got to stay

37
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: focused here because what I really want while I'm really

38
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: trying to go the thing that I'm really after, this

39
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: new little thing that's being introduced, this don't fit into

40
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: the equation. Man, Let me keep it moving, or you

41
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: may stay up off the line for a little while.

42
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: You know, like I said yesterday, your thing about God

43
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: is He's so forgiving that if you get out of line,

44
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: he'll hold your place. See that's the real cool thing.

45
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: A lot of people to do that for you too.

46
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: Like I said, if you're the movie theater, or you're

47
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: at the amusement park and you're in the line and

48
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: you forget something, if you politely ask the person behind you, hey, man,

49
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: I gotta run to my car left something, would you

50
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: hold my place? Most people say, fine, you gotta go ahead,

51
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: and when you come back, they don't have a problem.

52
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: See your problem is is you want to get out

53
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: the line, go do something, then come back and just

54
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: get up in the line further up than you were,

55
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: or cut somebody. Now you got a problem because see

56
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: everybody looking at you now like Heroy Wall partner, where

57
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: you come from? You know the line start back here.

58
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: But see the thing with God is God don't do that.

59
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: God don't say the line start back here. God holds

60
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: your place. When you make a mistake and you fall

61
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: off the line, God hold your place. But if you

62
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: ain't got no dreams, aspiration, if you ain't got no place,

63
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: what he holding for you? See, I mean he got

64
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: a place for you, But you gotta come to it

65
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: see some people if well, here's what I'm saying. If

66
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: you got a goal or aspiration, a dream and you

67
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: fall off track momentarily, you can get back to that

68
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: because God knows where you're left off. Now, you may

69
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: have to accomplish a few more things since you stop

70
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: for a long period of time, but God know where

71
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: you left off, you can get back on track. I look, man,

72
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: this dream of being on TV since I was a kid,

73
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: and it got off track. Now it got off track.

74
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: I just kept it as one of the dreams. And

75
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: in some real dog moments when it looked like it

76
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna happen, all I was hanging on to was

77
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: just a hope that one day it could. But that's

78
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: what faith is really about. Faith is the belief in

79
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: things that you cannot see. But faith gives you the

80
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: confidence to keep hoping. Man, sometime it just keep hope alive.

81
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes you heard Jesse Jackson said, just keep hope alive. Sometimes, man,

82
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: it's just the hope. I was hanging on a hope.

83
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: And I'm talking about when it got real ugly and

84
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: funky out there for me, when it looked like I

85
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna ever make it and all of the facts

86
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: was in and everything pointed in the direction. You're not

87
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: gonna make it. You didn't really messed up this time.

88
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: Then I sat there and I just hung on to

89
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: the hope. But man, that's what I'm saying. If you

90
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: got a dream on aspiration of vision or something, when

91
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: you fall off track and you want to go get

92
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: back in line, God holds your place. He knew I

93
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: was off tracking how the line, but he said, okay,

94
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: here's where we stopped. You want to be on TV

95
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: that when you get it together and you quit tripping

96
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: and you come in your turn to me, I'm gonna

97
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: hold your place, put you back in line. Then we're

98
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,679
Speaker 1: gonna finish the journey. That took me a lot longer

99
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: to get here than I wanted to, But then it

100
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: was necessary because I needed all of the mishaps to

101
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: happen to me along the way. So when I got

102
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: on the radio one day, which I and I see coming,

103
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey got a radio show, y'all. That's why I said,

104
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: every day, see because of this radio show that I

105
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: didn't see coming. Now I have stories to tell, and

106
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: I can tell you about me better than I can

107
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: tell you about anybody, And I haven't been through enough

108
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,679
Speaker 1: whereas relatable, where enough people can go. Man, that happened

109
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: to me. Appreciate you saying that that's what it was for. See,

110
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: I get it now. See at the time, though I

111
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: didn't like what was happening to me. At the time,

112
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: I was really in total disagreement with God on a

113
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: lot of stuff he was pulling off on me. But

114
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: in essence I was really pulling it off on myself.

115
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: But through his grace and mercy, he kept me through

116
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: all of my mistakes, all my bad decisions, all my miscalculations,

117
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: all my misfires, all the times I knowingly stepped out

118
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: there indeed wrong. He forgave me, he said, because man,

119
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: if you ever come to me, I have a plan

120
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: for you that it's going to be far in above.

121
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: It will supersede everything you've ever dreamed of. That's what

122
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: I did. I just got sick of me, good and

123
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: sick of me, and I turned it over to God.

124
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: And then God started working. And here I am today

125
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: now as he threw it me. Yet Nope, have I

126
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: arrived yet? Nope? But guess what the journey is cool?

127
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: And then you know what I found out that's kind

128
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: of what it's like in life. If you don't walked

129
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: off the cliff in life and you ain't got no

130
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: God in your life, it's like not having a parachute.

131
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: You step off the cliff and you just free falling.

132
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: We all now that fall gets you closer to the grave,

133
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: right see, were all heading to the grave from the

134
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: moment we're born. But the cool thing about a relationship

135
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: with God is when you step off the cliff and

136
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: you got God here a parachute. You're still going down,

137
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: but it's a nice ride. You guide and you're glad,

138
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: and you're softly, You enjoying your look around and you're smiling.

139
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: You're meeting other people along the way. You're floating over

140
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: here to skie a little while. You over there at

141
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: the beach for a little while, you mess around over here,

142
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: you get to go out the country a little bit

143
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: on your parachuting all that here, and God just helps

144
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: your your descent appear more like a rise and then

145
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: more like a euphoric fall. Instead of not having no

146
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: God in your life and you just walking off that

147
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: cliff every day free falling. Ain't got no core, You

148
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: steady pulling you, hauling the whole way because you to

149
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: mess around with yourself and ain't let God come into

150
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: your life and provide a parachute for you. I would

151
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: rather have a parachute since I got to jump every day,

152
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: than to not have one. God has been like a

153
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: parachute from me. Ask me why where that came from?

154
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: I can't tell you. But like I always say, most

155
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: good things that happened in my life that I can't explain,

156
00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: it's usually him. You're listening show, ladies and gentlemen, need

157
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: us here. This is a Steve Harvey Morning Show, a

158
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: very very special Steve Harvey Morning Show. This morning. Let

159
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: me just start by introducing everybody. Shirley Strawberry calling for

160
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: real Junior and Nephew Tommy. Morning, Morning, Morning, morning, great morning. Yeah.

161
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: Because yeah, this is right after the morning after the verdict,

162
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: the long awaited verdict. Everybody was on pins and needles.

163
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: We've been even though I'm still in Africa. We were

164
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:38,599
Speaker 1: on constant communication yesterday through all of this working and

165
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: and and and trying to figure out the strategy for

166
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: today and today is is it overall just a great day?

167
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: A great day? Team, wouldn't you say so absolutely, absolutely

168
00:10:52,320 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: absolutely yes, Yes, Justice Jordan Floyd, this is a good day. Yeah. Yes,

169
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: second degree unintentional murder guilty, third degree murder guilty, second

170
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: degree manslaughter guilty. Now I just want to say this

171
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: next is the sentencing. I don't know when they're gonna

172
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: hold it. But he was out on bail while doing

173
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: the trial. But now there is no bail. He gone,

174
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: he's in jail. And so now once you get a

175
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: guilty verdict on all three of those, those are three

176
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: separate sentencing guidelines. Okay, between all three of those, Yes, yes,

177
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: I would imagine, just based on looking at this judge's face.

178
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: I don't with the quick return of the verdict, I

179
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: see him getting a lot of time. It's not gonna

180
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: be no twelve years. I see him getting a lot

181
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: of time. I don't know though. This judge. You know,

182
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: he bought up Maxine Waters in the corps that created me.

183
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: I was so upset about Maxine. Yes, do you try

184
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: to judge brought it up. Yeah, and he wished politicians

185
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: would stop talking about the case. So he bought up

186
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: the fact to the defense that Maxine Waters could whatever

187
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: she said could be grounds for appeal. So get out

188
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 1: of here. Everybody talking about it. Well, when is Donald

189
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: Trump gonna be grounds for what? And tered crews and

190
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: all of them that incited the riots on January sixth

191
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: at the Capitol. Yeah, be careful, y'all, be careful because

192
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna set a precedent. And then lawyers are very

193
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: smart because they use case prior cases to help with

194
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: judgments on theirs. You start down this little path about

195
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: who said something, and you got an appeal. I got

196
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: news for your pocket. See this show with Hey, Well

228
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: sorry for my accent. I'm from Africa and I just

229
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: wanted to say that it's it's it's really justice, but

230
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: it's not justice at the same time because being from

231
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: Africa and coming here, um, I've experienced these kind of

232
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: year of myself and I think now the family you

233
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: have some kind of justice and hopefully we can move

234
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: forward with incorping more us. These cups needs to understand

235
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: that it's not the way to treat people and you

236
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: once you do it, you're gonna get taught for it.

237
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna get the consequence coming to you. So I'm

238
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: really happy with the with the outcome. Yeah. Absolutely. I

239
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: think that when police officers see the consequences being deal

240
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: that dealed out for your actions, I think that's gonna

241
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: that's gonna cause a moment of pause until you start

242
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: seeing them have to do time for crime. We wouldn't

243
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: have this problem, but they get a different set of

244
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: laws that they could do. So he may. Let me

245
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,320

264
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: but a big fan, especially that crazy and a few times.

265
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: But like to say, like I said, I'm glad the

266
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: outcome of that verdict. It came out really well. Um.

267
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: I actually listened to one of your Instagram I guess

268
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: what you were talking about this morning. Behind will it's

269
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: going to come out, And it really did, by the

270
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 1: greatful God, because you know, a lot of people in

271
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: America don't realize how serious this really was, you know.

272
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: And but anybody to have to anybody's family member, that

273
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: even anybody had to even witness to see something like that.

274
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: You know, a guy put his knee clear day on

275
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: somebody just to hold it down and to restrain him

276
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,239
Speaker 1: and just kill him. You know, that's that's not justice, man,

277
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 1: especially coming from a police officer that suposed to uphold

278
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: the law and everything, you know, And that's just sickening, man,

279
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: to see stuff like that. But I'm glad it came

280
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: out like it's supposed to and we can kind of

281
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 1: put it the rest. But it just a wake up

282
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: call for everybody and around America too, just stuff like this. Man.

283
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: We don't hope to ever have to see this again,

284
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, right, well, I mean hopefully we won't

285
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: have to see it again. We will, we will. This

286
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 1: one won't won't. It won't end racism, but you are

287
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 1: correct in this. It is going to have a ripple

288
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: effect because police officers now are going to have to

289
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: realize that they may be held accountable to the laws

290
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: that they are paid to uphold, and you don't have

291
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: a different set of laws. And I think that could

292
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: be the ripple effect, man, And I hope, I'm hoping.

293
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: I think this is beginning of something to quail some

294
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: of this police brutality against black people, to make them

295
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: at least have a moment of pause. So you know,

296
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: but I knew when Amber Tiger Group or whatever her

297
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: name is, when they gave this white woman time for

298
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: killing this black man in his own apartment, when they

299
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: found a way to give her some time, I knew

300
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: something was going on. I knew something was going on

301
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: because they don't do that now. This white woman that

302
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: killed this young brother Dante. Yeah, that said she thought

303
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: it was her taser dog. She couldn't do some time. Yeah,

304
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: because you had the gun out in front of you.

305
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,639

325

Speaker 1: like you said speech to the previous caller, that the

326
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: police officer will now think twice that you will be

327
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: held accountable. There's more of a possibility for you to

328
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 1: be held accountable for your actions when it comes to

329
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: just doing your job. Just do your job right, don't

330
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: add the extra Yeah, don't kill someone on your job,

331
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: reason right, for no reason, you know, defense, defense, everything

332
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: about oh well, don't don't, don't, don't count the nine

333
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: point two nine um nine minutes and twenty nine seconds

334
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: without including the sixteen minutes prior to No, even into that,

335
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: y'all still used a sective force. Y'all pulled him out

336
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: the car. He's six peaked or something. You're trying to

337
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: put him in a space. Looked like I can't confidence

338
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: and you who wouldn't, well, you know the sixteen minutes before.

339
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: I saw some of that footage, and I don't know

340
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: what happened in the sixteen minutes that that deserved this

341
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: man to die resistance. I just I didn't see nothing

342
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: in the sixteen minutes prior that says, you know what,

343
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: he should die. I didn't even think for a moment

344
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: he could die exactly. It wasn't. It wasn't the fort,

345
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: It wasn't in the forefront that he's gonna die for them.

346
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: That's an amazing thing. They made more of it. Worried

347
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: about his past, his paths ain't had nothing to do

348
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: with that in that hand, had nothing to do with that.

349
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: There are men in prison who are locked up for murder.

350
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: You can't go in there throw one of them on

351
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: the ground and put your knee in their neck, can

352
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: kill them. Right. That's that's not that's that's that's not

353
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: so what. That's really not what we're supposed to be.

354
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: Once again, what Martin Luther King said is black folks

355
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: just waiting on America to be what they say they

356
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: is on paper. That's all this really is. And I

357
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: and and I got we we got some justice here.

358
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:55,400

00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: And I've been here sixty four right, and this is

361
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: just one video on our time. Let's let's hope that

362
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: we can continue the progress, to continue to do things

363
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: a little bit better, and that my twenty seven year

364
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: old twin boys will have an opportunity that they can

365
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: drive down the street, my twenty nine year old daughter

366
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 1: can drive down the street and if she's pulled over,

367
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: if they pulled over for a reason, it's gonna be Okay,

Speaker 1: my children. Still got the ride and the retaliation of this.

372
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,400

Speaker 1: I feel so much relief in a black man. It's

389
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: just I've been crying. It's just wow. It's just so

390
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: much relief, you know, seeing like Unna see you seven

391
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: two minutes ago. I've never seen a cop go to jail,

392
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: and seeing he's going to jail for a crying me

393
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: commit it unbelievable. You know, I was telling the crew here,

394
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: I just if they would have said not guilty, I

395
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: don't know what I would have done. I would not

396
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: what to do, because, man, the other side of me

397
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: is still alive, you know. I try not to be Look,

398
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: God didn't changed me over the years, but I'm telling you, man,

399
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: that's a piece of me that has the ability to surface.

400
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: And I was really concerned because I was trying to

401
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: think of as a radio personality, what do I come

402
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: on to say to my people who listen to me,

403
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: who trust our voice in the morning, who tune in

404
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: to listen to us for information, inspiration, and entertainment. In

405
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: that vein of what people tune in, what would I

406
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: say to them the morning after a not guilty verdict,

407
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: when that other person that resides in me it's saying, okay,

408
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: all right, we tired of this now. I really don't

409
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: know how I would have been this morning any other way,

410
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: because I was struggling because the black man in me

411
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: is angry and been for a long time, you know,

412
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: just been mad for a long time. Now, I'm older

413
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 1: than everybody on this show. Listen to me. I've been

414
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: pissed off a long time, and I've had to suck

415
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: up a lot of stuff I didn't I didn't bid

416
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff I didn't want to bite into,

417
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: just so I could keep moving forward. Then that I'm

418
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: just grateful this was di verdict right here, and because,

419
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: like you say, man, just as a black man, the

420
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: relief that now we okay, I'm okay, our life do

421
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: matter to somebody. Hey, man, what do you what do

422
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: you think police officers are thinking now? Those that are

423
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: still on the job, go ahead, and Jack, go ahead.

424
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: Now I see that they see Now. I feel that

425
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: if they see that, hey, you just can't kill a

426
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: black man to go home free, Cord. Now you see

427
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: that when black people show up, they're gonna show up

428
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: and they're gonna get what they want, you know, right,

429
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: You know what I think. I think that it's going

430
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: to cause a moment of pause. I think because now

431
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 1: and I do so much appreciate it. All the blacks

432
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,240

00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: Steve Harvard Morning Show. Are we made an effort and

458
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,719
Speaker 1: the team put together a lot of work producing these

459
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: shows to make sure we got out to vote. And

460
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: then I'm gonna just be real with you. I got

461
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: on the phone with Ricky Smiley and Dale Hugley, who

462
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: are frat brothers, and I said, look, brothers, we got

463
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: to unite in this one right here, and they all agreed,

464
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: and so we got together and we turned out vote

465
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: like never before. And now we are voting block and

466
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: we'll never go back to not being a vote in block.

467
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: So Governor Kemp that passed this racist law, this voter

468
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: suppression act that he put together in Georgia, the next

469
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: time your name on the ballot, you gonna romish. No.

470
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: Thank you, Jay from Birmingham. We appreciate your call. All right,

471
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: let's go to Columbus, Ohio and talk to Monica. Steve Monica, Hi,

472
00:30:53,560 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: how are you? That's right? Well, thank you for having

473
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: me on here. I just was like everybody else watching

474
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: the verdict, and I was very pleased for what we saw.

475
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: I just think at the end of the day. Also,

476
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: there was no way to not find him guilty when

477
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: you actually watched the video over and over again being

478
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: a man put his knee on a black man's neck

479
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: for nine minutes and just have him like have the

480
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: life taken out of him. When the prosecutor had said

481
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: it was just as simple as a nine year old

482
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: understanding that. I mean, for me, that was it. There

483
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: was no way to, you know, get past that. I'm

484
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: very glad that, you know, his family found justice for

485
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: what happened to him. I also think that had he

486
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: had died in the police vehicle, I think the outcome

487
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: would have been a little bit different. I think they

488
00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: would have found a way to skate rop um, you know,

489
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: guilty guilty sentence. So I think, like I said, at

490
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: the end of the day, what really got it was

491
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: like we watched that video over and over again of

492
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: a man getting his life taken away by the fourth

493
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: of a knee. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right, it was. It

494
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: was I hated that it had to happen, but it happened.

495
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: This brother did not die in vain, No he didn't.

496
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: He he left a mark, an incredible mark in the

497
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: history of this nation. Because I'm telling you man, I'm

498
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: sixty four years old. I ain't really seen this. A

499
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: police officer guilty on all counts right, murdering a black person.

500
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: It may have happened somewhere. I ain't seen it. I

501
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: thank you, Thank you, Monica, thank you eighty nine. Let's go, Steve,

502
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: all right, it's time for national news. Ladies and gentlemen.

503
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: Miss Anne trip okay, thank you, and let us go.

504
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: Forty five year old Derek Chauvin spent the night in

505
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: the Minneapolis lock up. His bail immediately revoked yesterday after

506
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: he officially became a killer cop. Count one unintentional second

507
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: degree murder while committing a felony guilty, Count two, third

508
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: degree murder, perpetrating and eminently dangerous act. Find the defendant

509
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: guilty Count three second degree manslaughter, culpable negligence creating an

510
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: unreasonable risk guilty yea. All the charges against him would

511
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: bring a total of seventy five years in prison if

512
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: the judge decided to slap the maximums on him and

513
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: let them run consecutively. However, since Chauvin has no criminal record,

514
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: he could also get away with serving only twelve years

515
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: behind bar. So we will see in the meantime, Show

516
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: was to be sentenced eight weeks from now. His lawyer

517
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: is most certainly going to attempt appeal. But as the

518
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: President says, George Floyd's murder last May twenty fifth spark

519
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: protests against racism and police were tied not just in

520
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: the US, but in cities all over the world. It

521
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,320
Speaker 1: was a murder in full light of day and ripped

522
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: the blinders off for the whole world to see. To

523
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: found fear and trauma and black and brown Americans experienced

524
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: every single day, and such a verdict is much too rare.

525
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 1: In order to deliver real change and reform, we must

526
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: ensure the black and brown people are anyone don't fear

527
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: the interactions of law enforcement confronting head on systemic racism

528
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: and the racial disparities that existing policing and in our

529
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: criminal justice system. More broadly, and Vice President Harris was

530
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: still in the Congress, you may remember when George Floyd

531
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: was killed, and she co sponsored a special bill last summer,

532
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: together with Senator Corey Booker and Representative Karen bass I

533
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: introduced the George Floyd Justice and Policing Act. This film

534
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: would hold law enforcement accountable. The President and I will

535
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: continue to urge the Senate to pass this legislation. Black

536
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: Americans and black men in particular, have been treated throughout

537
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: the course of our history as less than human. Black

538
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: men are fathers and brothers and sons and uncles and grandfathers.

539
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: Their lives must be valued. And of course the case

540
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: is not over. There are three other fied Minneapolis cops

541
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: yet to go on trial for aiding and abetting Derek

542
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: chauven as he strangled George Floyd to death. Just through

543
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: a remind of folks about how rare this is. The

544
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:43,240
Speaker 1: Minneapolis Police initially described George Floyd's death as a result

545
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: of a medical incident that took place during a police interaction.

546
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: There was no mention of a knee or anything. In fact,

547
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: the Minneapolis Police issued a press release right after that

548
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 1: stating that Floyd had physically resisted a rest and appeared

549
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: to be under the influence. Now back to Steve Harvey. Morning,

Speaker 1: talk to us. I just wanted to say I have

559
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: a feeling of relief but sadness today. I think about

560
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 1: my father, who was born in nineteen twenty nine Helena Arkansas, FIA.

561
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: Just comes to this country faithfully, what over seeds, hangs

562
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: out to the uns, nothing. And he told me during

563
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: my childhood that we would police could never be here.

564
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: All the quoted they were doing anything to black people ever,

565
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,760
Speaker 1: and he this was so indoctrinated in him. He really

566
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: believed it. And he lived through Jim Carl He lives

567
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:19,439
Speaker 1: through a whole lot, and sadly never got to see

568
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: this day. And I feel relieved. I hope he's looking

569
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: down saying, you know, they got him. But you know,

570
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: I also feel I feel sadness and mixed release. Yeah,

571
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I agree with you. I know my father

572
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: told me so many things. I know my father cannot

573
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: believe today. Absolutely my father was gone. He couldn't believe

574
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: Barack Obama was president. You know why, I know he

575
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: couldn't believe it because I really didn't believe it. Absolutely.

576
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I did not think in my lifetime

577
00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:00,040
Speaker 1: I would see a black man as the president of

578
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: the United States, any of us. I was stunned. And

579
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 1: it was one of the greatest gifts in politics that

580
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: God has given to us. And so now you know,

581
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 1: I do agree with you, and uh, well said, and

582
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: you know, we got a lot to do, but I

583
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: think that we're going to remain a voting block power

584
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: because there there they got mad about Georgia becoming blue

585
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 1: and Texas almost flipping and feeling and all of that.

586
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 1: So now they're actually coming up with voter suppression laws.

587
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: What Georgia was blatant racism in your face. We locked

588
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: the door, we signed a hundred pieces of paper and

589
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: nothing you can do about it. Wow, yep, you know

590
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: it's sad, but they're to we do. Thank you so much.

591
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: Just all right, we'll be back with more of your

Speaker 1: he was hoping for the right verdict. The Vice president

00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 1: with agencies here, civil rights agencies to prepare for the

611
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,359
Speaker 1: next battle that's going to come. I believe this state

612
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 1: is going to be one of the big battle grounds

613
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 1: because they're already after this statement that God, we have

614
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: a democratic governor that has tried to cover us doing

615
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: all these things that are going on. But what we

616
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,439
Speaker 1: have to realize now that we have lost so many

617
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 1: of our great peers. We've lost the John Lewis's, we've

618
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: lost the ct Vivians, and we have to begin replenishing

619
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: the ranks because as I was just listening to you

620
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: with even with this happening, they're setting the next space

621
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 1: for what they want to do, and so we have

622
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: to be indeed ready for that as well. We have

623
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: to prepare our minds. And thank god, we had a

624
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: coalition of intelligent people that presented the case that needed

625
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: to be presented in the right way, and no matter

626
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: what they said, they could not get out of the

627
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: eye of the public. Well, when you had people like

628
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 1: Immatial and all of them, they could hide what they

629
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: had done. But you know, because of social media and

630
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: because of the attention that you guys put on it

631
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: and all the people that put it in not only

632
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 1: America space, but the whole world saw it. If they

633
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: had brought out any other verdict in what they did,

634
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: then it was shown this country as a totally unjust country.

635
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: We're working along with other agencies stout to Stacy Abrams

636
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: and some of the others because we know that this

637
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: state is going to be one that they're really looking at.

638
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 1: I think they said, uh, one of the Trumps was

639
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: trying to come in and take the place of our

640
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 1: governor here. So we're going to make sure that we

641
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: get the people active and you know, motivated to get

642
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: out and vote and do what we need to do

643
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:27,959
Speaker 1: to continue or what George Floyd died for. He died

644
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: for to come back. The injustice that was going on

645
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: in doctor keeps you know, in justice anywhere, you know,

646
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: is injustice everywhere. So that's what we keep in mind

647
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: as we move forward. And like I said, I listen

648
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: to you guys all the time, and uh definitely want

649
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: to partner with other people. Uh, you know, hopefully after show,

Speaker 1: you guys can reach out to us. I'm on the

662
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:44,440

Speaker 1: one of them days that pum, we are getting there.

699
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:59,320
Speaker 1: Blacks and whites and other nations are coming together, and

700
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: we are coming together as one in this country, and

701
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 1: we are going to make it. We are going to

702
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: do whatever it takes to be well. We need to

703
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 1: be exactly I think said. And you know something, man,

704
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: this I'm telling you man. I had a conversation with

705
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: a woman here who was in the royal family of

706
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: one of the countries here now, and obviously she watches

707
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: Fox News. She was a huge Trump supporter. I was

708
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 1: stunned listening to this woman talk. I was stunned how

709
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 1: great Donald Trump was. And then she actually told me

710
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: you are Hollywood type. All of you feel the same way.

711
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: I'm a Hollywood type. First of all, you don't know me,

712
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: You really really don't that. I'm the last person that's

713
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: the Hollywood. And then she went to talk about how

714
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 1: reverl Lations changed the world and Donald Trump was sent

715
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: by God, and I went what Donald Trump was sent

716
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: by God? And this one was just going on and on,

717
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: and it's just so many people, man, who think see

718
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,479
Speaker 1: what Donald Trump said. I want you all to listen

719
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:25,320
Speaker 1: to what his whole campaign was, make America great again.

720
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 1: So what that meant was they didn't like the condition

721
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 1: it was in now, so we're gonna take it back

722
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: to a period of time where it was better for who?

723
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 1: When has it ever been better for black people? And

724
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:43,839
Speaker 1: that rolls up all these white supremacist groups. They came

725
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 1: out of nowhere. That's the reason the Capitol Building was stormed.

726
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,800
Speaker 1: That's the reason they drove through the crowd and killed

727
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 1: people in cause because he gave them the power. They

728
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,919
Speaker 1: actually felt like they had a man in the White

729
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: House that ain't God ain't sent him. God's people don't

730
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: hold bibles upside down and look at it and not

731
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 1: even boy, what right? God's people have some stories of

732
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: going to church. You've seen Donald Trump in one church

733
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,879
Speaker 1: that was at Bush's funeral. Ain't no photo of him.

734
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 1: Look uncomfortable, man, Please, there's no wind about his head. Man,

735
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: he ain't praying and nothing. So, you know, we got

736
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: work to do, but we are. I think there's a

737
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:38,840
Speaker 1: beginning here. I think there's a change. Thank you, thank you,

738
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:45,320
Speaker 1: thank you. All right, um, let's go to Lakewood, California.

739
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: We're going to talk to Katherine Steve. Hey, Catherine, this

740
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 1: is Katherine's husband John. He asked me to pick up

741
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: the phone for her. She's kind of shiye, but okay,

742
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: I'm I'm Olsen age to Steve. We're born the same year,

743
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: fifty seven, and I've got a lot of respect for

744
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,879
Speaker 1: you and a big fan. And I've been just trying

745
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: to compose myself and get white Weight teers the wire

746
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 1: weight tears for the PAS ten fifteen minutes here. But

747
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:25,280
Speaker 1: I think I'm composing enough to speak now. I really

748
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 1: m bomb did with some of the brave people that

749
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: testified at the trial, particularly the young lady firefighter, because

750
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 1: I'm a retired African American firefighters out here in the

751
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: West Coast, and I just thought the people were so

752
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 1: brave and courageous to get up there and speak their

753
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: truth to this matter. And I'm I'm also very much

754
00:49:55,280 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 1: encouraged by the State District Attorney of Minnesota, mister Ellison,

755
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,839
Speaker 1: and here I just watched his press conference. So the whole,

756
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,800
Speaker 1: this whole thing is today's victory. But I know that

757
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 1: we have a lot of work ahead of us in

758
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: the future, and the struggle will continue, probably for the

759
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: rest of our lives, unfortunately, and even to our grand

760
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: to the lives of our grandkids. But I just I

761
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 1: don't want to take up too much of your time.

762
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: I just wanted to make a few comments. Thank you, brother,

763
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,919
Speaker 1: and I appreciate you. You know, one of the things

764
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 1: that I noticed in this trial that I hadn't really

765
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: seen before what normally happens, guys, is that prosecutors are

766
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:45,240
Speaker 1: often in bed with the local police department. In this case,

767
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 1: I was really amazed at how the prosecutors were dad

768
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: sent on doing the right thing for the people. See

769
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 1: see when you go see when you go to state

770
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: verse sis. When you say that, you gotta understand that

771
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 1: you're talking about the paid representatives and the electric representatives

772
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 1: that we put in place are gonna fight for the

773
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:19,319
Speaker 1: state against to prosecute somebody else. Wait a minute, man,

774
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,399
Speaker 1: They're usually in bed, especially with the police department. That's

775
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 1: why grand juries don't ever ever bring them up for trial,

776
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 1: because the prosecutors go in there and they present something

777
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:35,320
Speaker 1: to the twelve voting people who are the grand jury,

778
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: and they give such a vague thing and they say, well,

779
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 1: we don't really think we have enough to prosecute, and

780
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:44,280
Speaker 1: the grand jury finds no cause to bring forth a trial.

781
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: That didn't happen in this case. So if we can

782
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:51,760
Speaker 1: get more prosecutors who are not in bed with local police,

783
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 1: that's going to change things. And I think this also.

784
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something else too, because these prosecutors

785
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: are gonna be ours now, and people love power and position,

786
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: and other prosecutors are gonna go Wow, I get a

787
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 1: case like this, I'm gonna do something that gets the

788
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 1: adelation of the nation too, and I'll be a star.

789
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, man, something's going on here. That's my

790
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: comment about. Yeah. But hey man, thank you very much, man,

825
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:33,879
Speaker 1: to the phones and see who's there. Then someone's there, Hello, Steve,

826
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:44,319
Speaker 1: every morning show. Hello, who's hi? Who's this? Who need them?

827
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:50,319
Speaker 1: How are you today? I am blessed. I am truly blessed. Well,

828
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 1: go ahead. I am so grateful because as I watched it,

829
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: and I'm trying not to watch it, but I had

830
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 1: to because I have sons, I have grandsons, I have uncles,

831
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 1: and I have nephew, so I really had to watch it.

832
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:15,400
Speaker 1: And I was praying with my hand. My hand was

833
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 1: exactly all my Trump business, and I had to cry.

834
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,360
Speaker 1: And I am so grateful. This should make an example

835
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: out of him because they need to know that the

836
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 1: Lord is the Lord, and I respect that. But you

837
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:37,919
Speaker 1: can't assume you have to hurt people because you think

838
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 1: they're going wrong. It's a process and what he did

839
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 1: was in a process. So I thank God for that verdict.

840
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, appreciate the call of you. Thank you,

Speaker 1: me hope that my son, my nineteen year old son,

847
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:24,320

Speaker 1: able to live their lives in this world. This gives

849
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 1: me so much hope, so much hope. It is just

850
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 1: wonderful that we now have this verdict to let everybody

851
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:47,880
Speaker 1: know that black lives matters, all black lives matter, that

852
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 1: we are all humans. And I just thank everyone, everyone,

853
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 1: everyone who had anything to do with this, this guilty

854
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 1: verdict here. I just want to just bless them, and

855
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 1: it just gives me hope. It gives me hope. It

856
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 1: will make me be able to sleep at night a

857
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 1: little bit better knowing that my son and my grandson

858
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: don't have to look over their shoulders when they're just

859
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 1: outside it. Yeah, or I understand what you said. It

860
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: does give us hope. But now also at the same time,

861
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: we still have to be vigilant, We still have to

862
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 1: be aware of blatant racism because it's not going away

863
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 1: over this one. There is now going to be other

864
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:50,440
Speaker 1: ways that they will try it. You know, a man

865
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 1: when you're dealing with evil people. You got to watch them. Man.

866
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: They they they strongly hateful people. Man, they don't they

867
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:05,920
Speaker 1: don't die easy. So still stay watchful. Men, women, young people,

868
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 1: watch where you go, watch how you are, because everybody

869
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: ain't gonna believe fat meat, greasy. I agree, it's some

870
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: some it's some police officers going Okay, well i'm gonna

871
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 1: cut the body cam off. Okay, well i'll tell you what.

872
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it this way. Yeah, I'll tell you what.

873
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get you on the cuffs. I'm gonna get

874
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 1: you back back at the station, and then we're gonna

875
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 1: see it's it's it's some evil people once again, not

876
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: all ye, but it's some evil people out there, and

877
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 1: so we just gotta stay with you. I agree with you,

878
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:43,960
Speaker 1: and thank you for that. Thank you for that. You know,

879
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 1: we just just just right now, just living in this moment.

880
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 1: It's just it gives us some relief. But I totally

881
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 1: understand what you're saying. This is not to stop me

882
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 1: from telling my son and my grandson to just be careful.

883
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 1: So death not that, but this gives me this, This

884
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 1: gives me hope. It all we got to do is

885
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 1: convict some mote h when you do wrong, and we

886
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 1: got you, you got to paid. And once we get

887
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 1: some motor paid, then I think, I think if we

888
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 1: can begin the process. But I think for a lot

889
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 1: of us, we needed to see this guilty please. Yeah,

890
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 1: well I mean, I mean not please. We had to

891
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 1: see this guilty verdict because this, anything else would have

892
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 1: been a disaster. Yeah, I know it would have because

893
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 1: I didn't know what I was going to do. And

894
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to have good sense, so I'm supposed to

895
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to know better. I'm old, I'm sixty four,

896
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 1: I'm I ain't supposed to be having these thoughts, but

897
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 1: they was in my head. So I know young people

898
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 1: out there, the young lions, if they think like I'm thinking,

899
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna do something to you. Yes, and I'm glad

900
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 1: we didn't have to. So thank you very much, appreciate

901
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:02,240
Speaker 1: your calling. Thank you, bless you guys, be saved. Thank

01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 1: relieved that the jury made the right decision. It's about times,

913
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 1: it really is. Um. I was listening to you earlier.

914
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what I would have done if it

915
01:00:53,880 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 1: had gone the opposite direction. I really don't. That's been

916
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 1: my whole struggle. That's been a morning show struggle because

917
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:07,440
Speaker 1: we've been talking about this verdict, you know, because I'm

918
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 1: way over in Africa. When it comes down, Steve, Steve,

919
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 1: will you be able to be on the air, and

920
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:17,040
Speaker 1: you know, fortunate the timing of it all, I am,

921
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: But we were all trying to figure out the five

922
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:24,920
Speaker 1: of us. How do we present this to our listeners

923
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: if there's a not guilty verdict? And can I tell

924
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:33,440
Speaker 1: you something? We don't come up with nothing. I know nothing.

925
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: I've been searching it my soul too, that if the

926
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 1: verdict was not the right verdict, like what do I

927
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 1: believe anymore? You know, my whole thought process just everything.

928
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, because not guilty would have said, I know

929
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 1: you saw this tape, right, but we don't care. Yeah,

930
01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 1: y'all black and that's it you did. It would have

931
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:06,920
Speaker 1: given us a finger and you know, a finger that

932
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 1: would happened. Oh yeah, it would have given us a finger.

933
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna tell you something though. It wouldn't have

934
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:17,680
Speaker 1: been good, right, But we was gonna be passing out

935
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 1: some fingers too though. And see that's that's that's the

936
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 1: part that I keep trying to I pray about it

937
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 1: a little bit, but every time I pray about it,

938
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 1: I get mad because I'm telling you what, we're struggling.

939
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 1: The five of us were really trying to figure out

940
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 1: if this is not Carlin, Shirley, Junior, Tommy were singing,

941
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 1: and we had nothing. We had nothing, so we're gonna

942
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 1: be mad too. And then I was just trying to

943
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 1: stay over here in Africa and finish my job so

944
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:50,440
Speaker 1: I didn't fly back and get some matches, you know,

945
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 1: That's all. I was just trying to you don't have

946
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 1: to say everything I was going to. I didn't. I didn't.

947
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't really mean matches. I mean, you

948
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 1: don't like to just match up some people, you know,

949
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,959
Speaker 1: people to sit down and talk, you know, match people

950
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 1: up with each other to talk. I was just trying

951
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 1: to get some matches to see if we can find

952
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:17,520
Speaker 1: some people people. See what would you have been able

953
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 1: to say to the people in Africa? What country are

954
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 1: you in right now? I'm in Johannesburg. They don't understand this,

955
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 1: you know what they keep saying. They just got a

956
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 1: got rid of apartheid just some years ago. Apartei just

957
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 1: ended in ninety six. So Ray sitting up going what

958
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 1: is going on in America? We thought America was great?

959
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 1: And I've been on stage telling them, yeah, but they're

960
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 1: killing us though for us man Steve y'all making so

961
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:53,920
Speaker 1: much money over there, but they're killing us. They're killing them.

962
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 1: They're killing us physically, psychologically, spiritually, like our souls are

963
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 1: just freed. Like it's exhausting. And when you go back

964
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 1: and you think about like your experiences and where you

965
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:16,240
Speaker 1: are now, it's not a grateful God. Yes, yes, that

966
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 1: you're here and your mind is here. You know, it's

967
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:25,120
Speaker 1: just surely purely by the grateful God. I mean it's

968
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 1: everything that everything, yes, absolutely, and to come out with

969
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 1: your mind being somewhat okay, you know. And look, we

970
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 1: have to feel this way and still get up, go

971
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 1: to work, still dress our kids for school, still try

972
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 1: to find a way to be successful in this. Still

973
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 1: drive our car even though we know we could get

974
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 1: pulled over and it could be our turn. We still

975
01:04:56,120 --> 01:05:00,560
Speaker 1: manage to get up and function anyway. We are such

976
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:04,400
Speaker 1: a great people. They're in life. The problem still right

977
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 1: there because we are man yeah yeah yeah. And the women,

978
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 1: the black women are not safe either. And for me

979
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 1: to see my brothers go through what they go through,

980
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 1: it affects me absolutely. Hell. You know why because black women,

981
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 1: y'all made all us, every black boy, every black man

982
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 1: that died, a black woman made them, as some woman

983
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:41,920
Speaker 1: somewhere produced this life. Many please and you down in

984
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 1: the struggle and take care of you when you've been

985
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 1: beat up. We have to deal with that. And that's

986
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:51,400
Speaker 1: a lot to deal with. Who wants to see their

987
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 1: man or their father or their husband come home day

988
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:58,720
Speaker 1: after day. I know that struggle. I feel it I understand.

989
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 1: I get it. I'm not a man. I feel you.

990
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:08,040
Speaker 1: I got you, brother, you better tell it. You know,

991
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 1: agregated city, and I know it is. At any given time,

992
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:19,240
Speaker 1: it could jump off, and so I'm already prepared, you know.

993
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:21,640
Speaker 1: And that's a horrible way to live when I think

994
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 1: about it, but it is what it is. Yeah right,

1062
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:32,679
Speaker 1: stain on our nation's soul. Yes, we couldn't agree more.

Speaker 1: justice soon. I see the same trend the same trends

1078
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:46,280
Speaker 1: in all of these type of cases where these officers

1079
01:11:46,360 --> 01:11:50,200
Speaker 1: are trying to get people to look away from or

1080
01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:53,599
Speaker 1: not pay attention to what we see clearlyc on video

1081
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:58,200
Speaker 1: and let's focus on. Let's big up this person's criminal background,

1082
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:01,559
Speaker 1: let's dig up the twenty dollars deal, let's pick up

1083
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 1: miscellaneous stuff that has nothing to do with the heinous

1084
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:08,240
Speaker 1: act that we are seeing by these people who are

1085
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:12,000

Speaker 1: I'm just calling on to say I'm so grateful for

1087
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:18,960
Speaker 1: the justice for George Floyd, and I pray for justice

1088
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:23,800
Speaker 1: for all anybody who's going through the same tragedy rights

1089
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:28,519
Speaker 1: as George Floyd's family and my family for the justice

1090
01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 1: that we're seeking from my brother Lamar modes, well, sister,

1091
01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:36,040
Speaker 1: because you know, I mean this is see. I want

1092
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:41,080
Speaker 1: people to understand. Now, this sister got it firsthand. Her

1093
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:44,360
Speaker 1: brother was taking it at the hands of the police officer.

1094
01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:47,320
Speaker 1: Do you know how many stories that are like this

1095
01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:53,560
Speaker 1: see and um, you know the this this trial represents

1096
01:12:53,640 --> 01:13:01,920
Speaker 1: for so many people some type of justice type of Okay, wow,

1097
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:11,120
Speaker 1: somebody because I haven't seen this man. This is so

1098
01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:14,360
Speaker 1: crazy here man that we and there's nothing for him.

1099
01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:18,519
Speaker 1: It's just this country right here. We have got to

1100
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:24,760
Speaker 1: establish new laws for police officers that they are under

1101
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:28,320
Speaker 1: the same guidelines as us. See, we came you to

1102
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:31,320
Speaker 1: uphold the law, and then you turn around and break

1103
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:33,920
Speaker 1: the same damn law we're paying you to overhold. And

1104
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:36,960
Speaker 1: then you can commit the same crime we commit and

1105
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:39,000
Speaker 1: we have to do time and you get to go home.

1106
01:13:39,080 --> 01:13:42,439
Speaker 1: We pay no, no, no, no. That has to end.

1107
01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:46,240
Speaker 1: And we got to see his signals. But I'm telling you, man,

1108
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:51,040
Speaker 1: these prosecutors are going to become stars, and other prosecutors

1109
01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:53,720
Speaker 1: are going to want the adamation of America that these

1110
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:56,840
Speaker 1: prosecutors are gonna get. And I'm telling you but now

1111
01:13:56,960 --> 01:13:59,799
Speaker 1: at the same time, we got to get real ready,

1112
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:03,880
Speaker 1: we got to get real ready, y'all, because they are

1113
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:06,760
Speaker 1: in these back rooms trying to figure out a way

1114
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 1: to stop this from happening again to one of their officers.

1115
01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:15,959
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about policeman. I'm talking about the system,

1116
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:21,600
Speaker 1: because police brutality is a way that it's been designed

1117
01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:25,280
Speaker 1: to keep a thumb and a knee on the neck

1118
01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:28,360
Speaker 1: of a certain community and a culture for a long time.

1119
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:32,200
Speaker 1: It's just the clue Klux Klan with a blue suit on.

1120
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 1: All right, stay with us, y'all. We'll be back. We're

1121
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:42,719
Speaker 1: taking calls all morning. You're listening, all right, Come on, Steve,

1122
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:45,080
Speaker 1: we can get a call in here. Call or two.

1123
01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:49,720
Speaker 1: Let's go to the phone seven seven twenty nine, Steve Admetris, Hi,

1124
01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:55,599
Speaker 1: how are you all? Tell me your name? Okay? Good?

1125
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:59,120
Speaker 1: What's your comment? I haven't had a chance to, you know.

1126
01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:03,840
Speaker 1: Every time then came on of the police officer on

1127
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 1: George Boards. Need that on George Boards neck. I never

1128
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:10,000
Speaker 1: had attemp. I never wanted to look at it. I

1129
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:12,759
Speaker 1: never you know, I always turned the down up because

1130
01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:16,960
Speaker 1: it was so overwhelmed me. But when they verdict came

1131
01:15:17,120 --> 01:15:20,360
Speaker 1: in today, I mean I just cried. He talked, I

1132
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:24,519
Speaker 1: thought about my son, my husband, my nephews, my brother.

1133
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:27,439
Speaker 1: I thought about all of them on the ground, and

1134
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:31,040
Speaker 1: so when when their guilty verdict came in, I just

1135
01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:35,560
Speaker 1: I just cried. I just crashed because I said, finally,

1136
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:40,560
Speaker 1: it's finally something, it's happening. And with me, it's like

1137
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:44,000
Speaker 1: a win sport because my brother is a police and

1138
01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 1: my daughter is a police and I know that they

1139
01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 1: are great policeman and I know that my daughter helped,

1140
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:56,599
Speaker 1: help caused a homeless help he give everybody's break. My brother,

1141
01:15:57,040 --> 01:16:01,280
Speaker 1: he even arrested, bad talk. And so just to be

1142
01:16:01,439 --> 01:16:04,680
Speaker 1: in this position and just to see justice done, and

1143
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:08,920
Speaker 1: I'm just overwhelm about everything. That's a beautiful thing because,

1144
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:12,360
Speaker 1: like I say, the majority of police officers are fine people.

1145
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:19,120
Speaker 1: But you know it's too many damn bad apples. All

1146
01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:21,160
Speaker 1: let's leave it right. There were taken some more calls,

1199
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:54,720

1200
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:57,880
Speaker 1: day after the Derek Chauvin verdict, he was found guilty

1201
01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:05,160

1206
01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:31,280

1207
01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:39,080
Speaker 1: steady asking for what is rightly ours. You know, um,

1208
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:47,120
Speaker 1: this Constitution has never been for us. It doesn't apply

1209
01:20:47,320 --> 01:20:52,679
Speaker 1: to us too many times. Sometimes we get a piece

1210
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:54,840
Speaker 1: of it here, sometimes we get a piece of it there,

1211
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:57,400
Speaker 1: and then the rest of it it just don't apply.

1212
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:03,880
Speaker 1: So today day as we all deal and grapple with

1213
01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:07,040
Speaker 1: the trial and how big it was, and like I said, earlier,

1214
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:10,439
Speaker 1: I thought, this is just my opinion. You don't have

1215
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:12,800
Speaker 1: to agree with this, that this was the biggest trial

1216
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:16,200
Speaker 1: we've seen come across our TV screen that had this

1217
01:21:16,400 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 1: much national attention since the O. J. Simpson trial. But

1218
01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:26,640
Speaker 1: this one was different, though, This one was different. This

1219
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:30,160
Speaker 1: one was about justice for black people, people of color.

1220
01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:37,320
Speaker 1: This was about watching portions of this nation stand together.

1221
01:21:39,200 --> 01:21:43,200
Speaker 1: I watched doing COVID and the killing of this man,

1222
01:21:43,400 --> 01:21:47,519
Speaker 1: the murder of George Floyd. I watched people who I

1223
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:52,840
Speaker 1: didn't know cared. I watched people come outside and protests

1224
01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:58,200
Speaker 1: and lock arms with people who they just felt for.

1225
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:02,560
Speaker 1: I watched a lot out of non whites getting excuse me,

1226
01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:08,040
Speaker 1: a lot of non blacks get involved here this trial.

1227
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:13,280
Speaker 1: So many black people watched it to just see if

1228
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:18,679
Speaker 1: we could just get our life to matter. How about

1229
01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:21,840
Speaker 1: this one time, how about after you saw the same

1230
01:22:22,040 --> 01:22:25,200
Speaker 1: video we saw. How about after you watch this man

1231
01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:29,400
Speaker 1: murder this man for nine minutes and twenty some seconds

1232
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:35,160
Speaker 1: that video right there, we were holding with bated breath.

1233
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:40,280
Speaker 1: How could he possibly walk from this after what we saw?

1234
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 1: But now we had every right to feel a little apprehension,

1235
01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:49,760
Speaker 1: a little, a little uneasiness here a little on the

1236
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:52,800
Speaker 1: edge of our seats, a little nervous on sitting on

1237
01:22:52,960 --> 01:22:56,479
Speaker 1: pins and needles, because we've seen it all too many times,

1238
01:22:56,920 --> 01:23:01,040
Speaker 1: police officers brutalized, murder and kill us and get away

1239
01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:07,760
Speaker 1: with it and go home. So excuse us for this

1240
01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:13,719
Speaker 1: moment of celebration, for being able to see what we saw.

1241
01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:17,920
Speaker 1: And today we opened up the phone lines to talk

1242
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:22,320
Speaker 1: to our listeners, the people who support us Dan Dan

1243
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:24,439
Speaker 1: out and we felt it was important to do this

1244
01:23:24,560 --> 01:23:27,560
Speaker 1: today because we had to listen to them. And in

1245
01:23:27,760 --> 01:23:30,920
Speaker 1: every single phone call that was a little bit of pain,

1246
01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:33,639
Speaker 1: or there was a lot of pain. That was all

1247
01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:37,559
Speaker 1: a celebration, but there was some pain in every last

1248
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:40,800
Speaker 1: one of them phone calls because we had to listen

1249
01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:44,839
Speaker 1: to our listeners fears, We had to listen to their relief.

1250
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:51,880
Speaker 1: We had to listen to them wanting to matter, you know,

1251
01:23:52,120 --> 01:23:54,840
Speaker 1: because I gotta tell y'all something. If you don't understand,

1252
01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:58,679
Speaker 1: this is really quite simple. We just tied of asking

1253
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:01,640
Speaker 1: you to treat us the same. We're just sick and

1254
01:24:01,720 --> 01:24:04,479
Speaker 1: tired of it. I mean, let me ask you something.

1255
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:08,960
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you be if this were happening to you, wouldn't

1256
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:11,920
Speaker 1: you be sick and tired of this. If you were

1257
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:15,040
Speaker 1: bought over here against your will over four hundred years

1258
01:24:15,080 --> 01:24:20,280
Speaker 1: ago and forced into slavery, and then through an emancipation

1259
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:24,560
Speaker 1: proclamation be so called set free, and then half to

1260
01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:28,559
Speaker 1: constantly from that moment, all still asked to be free

1261
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 1: still after that, asked you to allow that constitution to

1262
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:38,679
Speaker 1: apply to us the way it does to you, wouldn't

1263
01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:42,280
Speaker 1: you be sick and tired. I'm exhausted. I've never in

1264
01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:45,839
Speaker 1: my sixty four years, other than just being a toddler,

1265
01:24:46,479 --> 01:24:50,200
Speaker 1: I've not known what this was like. I've never known

1266
01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:52,560
Speaker 1: a moment where I was just free to be me.

1267
01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:59,000
Speaker 1: I blew up. I saw colored only water fountains to

1268
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:04,200
Speaker 1: the back, colored and white restrooms. I saw it from

1269
01:25:04,240 --> 01:25:08,160
Speaker 1: sixty four man, I come up in Wealth Trust, Virginia.

1270
01:25:08,160 --> 01:25:11,320
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I saw it. I listened to my father,

1271
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:16,559
Speaker 1: my uncles tell stories, horrific stories. I've seen police officers

1272
01:25:16,760 --> 01:25:20,000
Speaker 1: killed black people before, and nothing happened to him. I've

1273
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:23,160
Speaker 1: seen it, not on TV, not on social media, on

1274
01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:27,240
Speaker 1: my street in my city, down the street from where

1275
01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:29,880
Speaker 1: I stayed up in my playground. I remember cop came

1276
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:34,559
Speaker 1: up there and killed two kids at the playground because

1277
01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:39,120
Speaker 1: he said they stole some bikes. Then wasn't even the bikes.

1278
01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:45,679
Speaker 1: I've seen all of this, So we tired. So since

1279
01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:48,160
Speaker 1: we tired of asking you to treat us the same,

1280
01:25:49,400 --> 01:25:52,280
Speaker 1: and we seem to have to fight so hard to

1281
01:25:52,840 --> 01:25:55,160
Speaker 1: get you to treat us the same. How about this,

1282
01:25:56,160 --> 01:25:59,120
Speaker 1: how about this? How about you just leave us alone?

1283
01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:05,479
