I'm very transparent. I understand the criticisms 59 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: that people have for the movement. I understand that a 60 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: lot of people are just misinformed and they don't have 61 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: the information. And then also understand there are clouds of 62 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: chaos that just sent they want to keep chaos and 63 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: they're not interested in finding the truth. I have criticisms 64 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: of the movement and in the clothes, even the tardy 65 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: crump and and those that I work with, and and 66 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,039 Speaker 1: I'm always challenging people around me and myself to do 67 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: better and making sure that that we are constantly pushing 68 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: the line politics until something happens and a turn to 69 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: crup will tell you, um that about me that I'm 70 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: probably one of the few on the team that will 71 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: said turn the crop. I ain't really feeling this to 72 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 1: kind of look like self showing this. I can't stand 73 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: here with you on this one because if we're not 74 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: pushing the line this way, then I just can't be 75 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: a part of it. So I understand, um, the frustration 76 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,679 Speaker 1: that many of you have on the progress um that 77 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: we uh the lack there of progress, and the State 78 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: of the Union address was a pure example on why 79 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: I talk about it is so critical that we continue 80 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: and and I want to say not even continue because 81 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: some of you don't do it at all, but really 82 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 1: focus on hyper local politics. I mean, seriously, the federal 83 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: government is gonna be what they're gonna be. You know. 84 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: I'm all about remaining hopeful. I'm all about uh continuing 85 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: to push the line. Yes, it's important that we got 86 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: the right people in the federal government, but right now 87 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: we need a win so bad in the movement. We 88 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: need to win so bad, especially in order to keep 89 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: our youth involved, that we have to make sure that 90 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: we are hyper focused on local instinct. Because the fans 91 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: have failed, period, they just spelled. I don't see leadership 92 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: on the Democrats side. The progressive side has shown their hand. Yes, Progressives, 93 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: UH have there's a lack of leadership. What happened to 94 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: Bernard and all of the squad and all of that. 95 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just, bottom line, I'm just over y'all. 96 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: Put put a too, put a two in the chat 97 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 1: of you're just over it. I'm over it. I'm over it, 98 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: and I'm over people that enable that type of behavior. However, 99 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: being over it and not doing anything about it is unacceptable. 100 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: There cannot be a white wash your hands of it. 101 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: There just can't be, uh, and it just it cannot happen. 102 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: We must make sure that we remain hyper focused on 103 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: the local and statement. What does that mean, Tesla. It 104 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 1: means that over one cities have enacted some police reform. 105 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: Do I believe the police department can be reformed really 106 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: probably not. It needs to be torn all the way 107 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: down and we need to start over. However, that's not 108 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: an excuse to not get involved on whatever level that 109 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: you can. And I just want to be clear when 110 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 1: my push the line training, I want people running for office. 111 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: I don't give a damn what it is. Um, that's 112 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: just where I met with it. I don't care what 113 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 1: experience you have. I don't care if they say you're 114 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: splitting the boat. I don't care if they say, well, 115 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: you can't get that.

If you are with me 117 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: on this, I don't give a damn what experience you have, 118 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: what experience you don't have. We need people on the ballots, 119 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: challenging mayors, challenging city commissioners, challenging county commissioners. Immediately, immediately, 120 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: let me say it again, Immediately, they're gonna tell you 121 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,679 Speaker 1: that you're that you're getting in the way. They're gonna 122 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: tell you, well, you know you heard in the Democratic 123 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: I don't give a damn what it is. We must 124 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: weep those of us that are willing to do the work. 125 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: And I'm going to do the work to give you 126 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: the tools that you need. Are you with me and 127 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: willing to do the work to get somebody on the ballot. 128 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: It's your cousin on the ballot, get to harm you 129 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: on the ballot, get your grandma about I don't give 130 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: it that. Just put their name on the ballot. If 131 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: they don't do nothing gets five votes, just put them 132 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: on the ballot. Sitting out is not an option. Sitting 133 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: out is not an option. I know y'all think y'all 134 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: coming up with some strategy when y'all say that, But 135 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: it's not an option because if you understand the people 136 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: are telling you that don't work on campaigns, what I'm 137 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: telling you that if you have and I did this 138 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: analogy last night, get out to vote GTV. Get out 139 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: the vote is all about getting your people to come 140 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: to the polls. So if any need three hundred people 141 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: to come to the polls, if there's ten apples and 142 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: I only need five apples to show up for me, 143 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: and all of you decide to sit out and vote 144 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: for nobody, you actually make it easier for me to 145 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,679 Speaker 1: get five apples to show up for me. Because there's 146 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: always been more people that don't vote, than do vote, 147 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: so you're not hurting You're not hurting them, not at all. You're, 148 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: in fact, you're helping them. The strategy is who can 149 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: you run against them? Put a tune the chat of 150 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: you're following what I'm saying. I know y'all come up 151 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: with these YouTube conspiracy we're just gonna sit out. I'm 152 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: telling you you if you are angry at the Democrat 153 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: Party or Republican Party, when you sit out, you are 154 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: not helping. And I am not telling you to vote 155 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: for them. I'm telling you to run against them, and 156 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: not on the federal level. That's over with. It's a rap. 157 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: Who is running for county commission? Do you guys know 158 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: right now? I was talking to n C about this 159 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: two years ago, and I believe at that time, uh, 160 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: the Compton mayor think was like fifteen thousand, twenty thousand 161 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 1: people or something like that. They went to the polls. 162 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: Do you know you can be a county commissioner with 163 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: fifteen hundred votes, sixteen hundred votes, two thousand votes. It 164 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: doesn't take a lot. You guys keep chasing these federal 165 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: elections where it's gonna take twenty thousand, fifty thousand million 166 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: dollar budgets. I want you to understand that in order 167 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: to win a county commissioners seat, a city commissioner seat, 168 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: county commissioners seat, you only need sometimes in some cases 169 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: a couple of hundred votes. It doesn't require what you 170 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: think it does. How do you know, Teslma Well, because 171 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: I got a lot of wins under my belt on 172 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: the in the state level. Those are just facts. So 173 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: I wanted to tap in today because if you are 174 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: discouraged about what you saw last night and that we 175 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: need more training mess the police have been trained to 176 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 1: brutalize black people, so we can't possibly need more of that. 177 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: President Biden and Van Jones, I get it. I know 178 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: y'all got a job to do, but that ain't it. Oh, 179 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: they stood together and honor in this family downstanding the 180 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: thirty seconds. Who's gonna put it on paper. I'm not 181 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: impressed by standing, fake standing ovations. I'm not impressed with 182 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: who's clapping. I'm only impressed with who is willing to 183 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: put it on the paper. And the bottom line is 184 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: the federal government has failed in that area, period, and 185 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: people are enabling that. That goes from the Democrat pundits 186 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 1: that are just wishing for favor in order to be 187 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 1: even fighting to the Christmas Party that goes for the 188 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: Republican part of the Republican pundits that pretend to give 189 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: a damn what all they're doing is just trying to 190 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: keep ourselves set at Democrats because it helps them. It's 191 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,599 Speaker 1: everybody across the board. That's why you haven't see me, 192 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: and that even to close my freeze, I've told a 193 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: turn to crop. Y'all heard me say it on the 194 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. I'm not standing at another press office unless 195 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: we call that politicians, period. And I say that to 196 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: him and love and they also go for these family 197 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: members as well. They need to fight just as hard, 198 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: if not harder, especially after they get their settlement. So 199 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: I'm just calling it out. It is what it is. 200 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: This is where we are at this point, this is 201 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: where we are at this point. We must when I 202 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: say we, it ain't everybody. We must be hyper local. 203 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: I'm i am so over talking about federal. I gotta 204 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: talk about it because it's just a part of what 205 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: I do. But this is about local and stay shout 206 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: out to the two people that came to the push 207 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: the line training that are actually on the ballot, that 208 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,719 Speaker 1: are running on the ballot. We have got to get 209 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: people to run on the local and the state level, 210 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: as your cousins, as your friends. If they say, oh, 211 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: I can't do what, I don't have a background, I 212 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: don't give a damn, get on it anyway. Get on 213 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: it anyway. Even if you pull five boats ten boats votes, 214 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: it makes a difference because if nothing else, we must 215 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: make them run harder. We must make them run harder, 216 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: we must make them raise more money. We must make 217 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: because you know what's gonna happen. They're gonna expose itselves. 218 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: Just like a lot of the people y'all been following 219 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: have been exposed. A lot of these so called leaders 220 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: y'all been following have been exposed un once you put 221 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: their feet to the fire, once you make them actually 222 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: to get on the campaign trail, and you get to 223 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: see one minute, they're saying this next to me, and 224 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: they're saying that next to me, and they say that, 225 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: let's start exposing, let's let's let's start pulling the curtain back, 226 00:12:53,640 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: and let's see who's who. I just want to close 227 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: by saying again, but we must remain hyper focus on 228 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: local and state. I could do a whole podcast on 229 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: everything they did wrong on this, We need more training 230 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: on this, coloss over UH police reform, comment on having 231 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: UH but Nichols family there, and yet we know nothing's 232 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: gonna be done. But I just figured I wanted to 233 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: wake up this morning with some energy on what we 234 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: need to do rather than talking about what they didn't did. 235 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: Rather than talk about what they did and did, let's 236 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: talk about what we're going to do and what we're 237 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: going to do. Shout out to be Suswa in the 238 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: bid and I was just telling them about how I'm 239 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: coming to your church and I have a message UH, 240 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: you know, for for UH, for those of us that 241 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: still believe that we can push on the local and 242 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: the state level. I'm over the federal level. I'm over 243 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: people in a abling it that goes for the pundits 244 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: and everybody that's enabling its foolishness. I know we have 245 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: to push back at that. Make sure you've seen you 246 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: spend your time pushing back on those who are are 247 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: stopping progress. But I need you to spend just as 248 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: much time, if not more, figuring out who can run 249 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: in your city for city commissioner and mayor and county 250 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: commissioner who can run in your city at city commissioner Canada. 251 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: I don't give a damn what they don't have. What 252 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: the spirits they don't have, what degree they don't have, 253 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: But whatever they don't, whatever it is, we have got 254 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: to get people on this ballot. We we just do. 255 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: It is up to us, it is truly. We are 256 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: all we got hashtag we are all we got. It 257 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: really is up to us, It really is. I mean 258 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: in every sense of the word. It's literally up to us. However, 259 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: I want to encourage you. Over one hundred cities have 260 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: and act at some level of police report reform, so 261 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: we cannot give up. It is a possibility. But we 262 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: are being the tracted by the federal level. It is 263 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: a clown show at best, it is a circus and 264 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: worse or best, however you want to put the Republican's 265 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: hollar ste And that's another thing, you know. I'm so 266 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: sick of the Democrats taking the high road. I wish 267 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: I wish you one of them would call me a 268 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: liar on the floor. I wish woman would call me 269 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: allowance for But again, that's why I guess that's why 270 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: I can never make it to high office. So neither 271 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: here nor there. I don't want to get trapped up 272 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: in that. I want to encourage you. Let's start to 273 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: start telling me who can run. Let's just start telling 274 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: me who can run.
