0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 1>you to come on there, Lauren, what you've been You've

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:19.480
<v Speaker 1>been gone now I'm tired. I was in Atlanta travels

0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 1>picking up. I just got back yesterday, and you know,

0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 1>I traveled all the time. I'm used to it, but

0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.240
<v Speaker 1>this this trip kind of kicked my butt a little bit.

0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 1>So I'm trying to get acclimated again on West Coast

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.359
<v Speaker 1>time because my body is in between. Let me ask

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 1>your question, because about traveling, do you think it's because

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.079
<v Speaker 1>you're not consistently travel because your other job usually have

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.519
<v Speaker 1>as you consistently travel, you think the breaks in between

0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:42.320
<v Speaker 1>make you be like, oh, I forget what to do

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 1>because you ain't traveling as much. Maybe, but it's picking

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.359
<v Speaker 1>back up again. I had a little break because I

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:49.799
<v Speaker 1>canceled a couple of trips, so I didn't, you know,

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.520
<v Speaker 1>travel for like a whole month. And maybe maybe that's

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>what it is. I don't know, because who the travel

0:02:56.320 --> 0:03:00.520
<v Speaker 1>schedule is getting a little real. Yeah, yeah, I traveled

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:04.800
<v Speaker 1>this week too. I went to Oakland, Hey, Oakland, back Oakland.

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. Victavian Jackson for a wonderful time. He had

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:13.120
<v Speaker 1>a great party. But baby Oakland and meeting I'm good good,

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Baby Oakness. It's a nice place to visit, but that

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.799
<v Speaker 1>can't go. Listen. Mom was born and raised in New York.

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 1>New York is my second home. All families there we

0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 1>know all about the can't go and thank you for acknowledge.

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 1>It's fully a label hole. Let me just she is

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:30.400
<v Speaker 1>a full don't let me go and get the biggest

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 1>I did not call your I said a label hope.

0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Really distinct difference, not even h o E a label hole.

0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Were glad to be back, though kid our boy Kid

0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 1>was here saying he lokendo we even kid the money.

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.400
<v Speaker 1>I ain't been working two weeks. Last week I went

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>out with a showcase for Netflix and then I had

0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>to do Seeing the End with Pamela Brown, which was great,

0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:56.560
<v Speaker 1>But right after that I had to go do a

0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:59.080
<v Speaker 1>comedy show. I was sick with the cold. Guess what

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>I did. Took my U glass to work and made

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 1>it work and get a part to stand ovation. I

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 1>think I have about ninety six percent of the room

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 1>on their feet with the code. Voice was so deep

0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 1>you thought I was very white and a dressed what

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:17.160
<v Speaker 1>was it? It was shocking a couple of times because

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.720
<v Speaker 1>that said, that's a lot of base. I had a code,

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:21.560
<v Speaker 1>you know that code didn't care, but no, damn have

0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 1>picture on the low pictures like I'm here to stay.

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 1>But I bustled through because let me tell you something.

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 1>My name was on the my key and on the

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 1>bal board. And if you cancel on white people, white

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 1>people will cancel you. All I can think about was

0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:34.600
<v Speaker 1>because you don't want to get canceled you and you

0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 1>got started yet. So we made it. We made it

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.960
<v Speaker 1>work because I am a professional sometimes and yeah, well

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:42.840
<v Speaker 1>I went to work. But now we are here, We

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 1>are here. I wanted to start off talking about in

0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.919
<v Speaker 1>the news. We're gonna get to the to the heavy stuff,

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:50.760
<v Speaker 1>but let's start off and say, didn't I tell you

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.839
<v Speaker 1>all that that Elon mus ship was a smoke screen. Listen,

0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.400
<v Speaker 1>there's the dealers on hold. The dealers on hold because

0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.800
<v Speaker 1>they got they got too many recalls on TESTA. He

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.240
<v Speaker 1>to fix that with those investors before he can come

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:04.400
<v Speaker 1>up with that forty four billion. I'm wondering. I'm like,

0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 1>what's going on? Because all of a sudden, it's like,

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:09.440
<v Speaker 1>are the funds not there. He's we know that he's

0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>a billionaire, we know that he's rich, but what's going

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 1>on that all of a sudden, the deals on being

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 1>rich on paper and having and being cash rich. It's

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 1>called being a house poor and cash now house rich

0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:23.160
<v Speaker 1>and cash poor, which means that it may look rich

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:26.200
<v Speaker 1>on paper, but you might not have that tangible forty

0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.480
<v Speaker 1>four billion dollars in cash. Saying that you have the

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:31.719
<v Speaker 1>forty four being with assets and everything. Ain't like having

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.040
<v Speaker 1>forty four billion dollars in your hand, you know. That

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.640
<v Speaker 1>is so I think what the smoke screen was. I

0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 1>think the overplay for the other play was that he

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:42.919
<v Speaker 1>put that out there so he can get other investors

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.240
<v Speaker 1>to jump in on this with him, because the the

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:48.960
<v Speaker 1>ultimate play was to get Marjorie Taylor Green and Trump

0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.720
<v Speaker 1>back on Twitter so the division and this country can

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:55.560
<v Speaker 1>get greater for the two and four elections that are

0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:59.839
<v Speaker 1>right upon us. Listen, are we talking about that? Yeah?

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Just the just the election. I was watching you know,

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 1>MSNBC because you know, it feels like now I had

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>a break, I felt comfortable. Now I'm back to watching

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:12.400
<v Speaker 1>MSNBC every day, and the polls are just terrible. You know,

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Democrats aren't doing well. Republicans really aren't doing well either.

0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:19.120
<v Speaker 1>They're doing about five percent better than Democrats. But I'm

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:22.640
<v Speaker 1>concerned about all these seats. You know, Ohio just you know,

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 1>elected that Republican front runner who you know, it's just

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:31.799
<v Speaker 1>a racist, was talking about shooting Mexicans and his um ads.

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Dr oz is the front runner for the primary in

0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:39.400
<v Speaker 1>um Pennsylvania. And you know, there's also elections happening in

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.200
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina. You know, l A. We have our first

0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:46.239
<v Speaker 1>mayoral election in the middle of an election cycle in June,

0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 1>and Rick Caruso has spent you know, over twenty four

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.680
<v Speaker 1>million dollars in TV ads. So you can't watch any

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 1>type of news in l A without seeing a Rick

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Caruso ad. And he's anti abortion, pro Trump the whole thing,

0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 1>but is running as like a Democrat. Well that that

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.080
<v Speaker 1>is the new overplay for the underplay. A lot of

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.240
<v Speaker 1>the Republicans are running under the Democratic Party ticket, but

0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:10.160
<v Speaker 1>they still have the Republican values of Joe Mansion for one, Yeah,

0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:14.920
<v Speaker 1>who not? What's the one name from West Virginia is Yeah,

0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:16.680
<v Speaker 1>so you look at me. I ain't even had one. Yeah,

0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm feeling it. I think my week too tight? Uh,

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.680
<v Speaker 1>it is it? Girl? How are we gonna win? How?

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.200
<v Speaker 1>How are we going to win? Long with people tell

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 1>the other people the whold they vote, and I love

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.760
<v Speaker 1>what you always say. If the vote was not so important,

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:32.760
<v Speaker 1>if the black vote and the brown vote was not

0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:36.720
<v Speaker 1>so important, why would they keep trying to implement new

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 1>voting laws. I'm telling you all your votes, mad at

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.720
<v Speaker 1>your vote counts, and you need to do it. Yeah,

0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.000
<v Speaker 1>and honestly, with you know, them closing down certain polling

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 1>places in you know, black neighborhoods, it's a scary time

0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:50.440
<v Speaker 1>to say the least. You know, there's a lot of

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 1>seats that are up on Democratic and G O P side,

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>and um one is a state a state Senate seat

0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:02.240
<v Speaker 1>in Pennsylvania. Yeah, the Democrat and that seat is actually retiring.

0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 1>So it's uh. I don't think the Democrats should be

0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:08.760
<v Speaker 1>allowed to retire. I think we need to die in

0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:11.560
<v Speaker 1>offense now. I think they need to retire. We need

0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 1>some fresh blood because they don't understand what's going on.

0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Got a lot of old white men that are sitting

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 1>in Congress, that are sitting in the Senate, and they

0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:22.360
<v Speaker 1>need to go they need to go. Well, since we're

0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:28.560
<v Speaker 1>talking about what's his name from Kentucky Turkey nick oh, um,

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:35.960
<v Speaker 1>that's not what's his name? Mitch McConnell needs to go. Yeah,

0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.679
<v Speaker 1>I'll give me that to go. Well. M McConnell just

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:44.439
<v Speaker 1>got reelected, Linda Graham just got re elected. Um, I

0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:46.959
<v Speaker 1>think Ted cruise Is seat is up in two years,

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:51.800
<v Speaker 1>so they've got some time. And I find it interesting

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:55.520
<v Speaker 1>too that all of these previous pro Trumpers like Liz Cheney,

0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:58.080
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden, she's calling the GOP white

0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:01.760
<v Speaker 1>supremacists and that they need to renounce white supremacy and

0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:05.640
<v Speaker 1>all these other things and anti semitism. So it's interesting.

0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.839
<v Speaker 1>It's an interesting time. Since we are you didn't open

0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.560
<v Speaker 1>up the door, that's gonna be the whole show any day. Way,

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Lauren opened Lauren Hogan and opened up the door to

0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:21.560
<v Speaker 1>the white supremacy. Speaking of white supremacies, white supremacists Saturday,

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:23.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know the nigga's name. And I said

0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:27.199
<v Speaker 1>just what I said, the nigga's name, the white man,

0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:29.840
<v Speaker 1>the white man, because you'll want to say he a boy,

0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:31.679
<v Speaker 1>and now y'all want to say he mentally served the

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.720
<v Speaker 1>white man who was born in the house of racism,

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:38.319
<v Speaker 1>who was grew up growing raised by racists. I don't

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.440
<v Speaker 1>give a funk. What did nobody else say that y'all

0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 1>want to say that he was mentally challenged, that he

0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:46.679
<v Speaker 1>drove four hours, two hundred miles with an assault rifle,

0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:50.679
<v Speaker 1>planned it, plotted it out, wrote a whole manifesto of

0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.120
<v Speaker 1>what he was going to do. Y'all had him up

0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.079
<v Speaker 1>under your radar a year ago when he wanted to

0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:58.400
<v Speaker 1>shoot up the school. Nothing transpired from that. Y'all could

0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:01.160
<v Speaker 1>have stopped this long before it happened. And on the

0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 1>other side, he drove to a nice black neighborhood, nice calm,

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 1>older black people, affluent neighborhood. And it was a poor neighborhood,

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.760
<v Speaker 1>but it was just nice working class people. He went

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 1>up in the grocery store on a Saturday afternoon and

0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:15.959
<v Speaker 1>shot and killed. I think he shot eleven people and

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 1>ten died. Yeah, And before y'all get to Holland, he

0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:23.160
<v Speaker 1>was mentally challenged, and he grew up in a broken home.

0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:26.319
<v Speaker 1>Got damnit look in the mirror, so did I. And

0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:28.439
<v Speaker 1>before you come at me an argument where he was

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 1>broken up here, grew up in a home. Both of

0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.080
<v Speaker 1>his parents are engineers. He grew up in a full

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.880
<v Speaker 1>on home. And if any kids are gonna be messed

0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.200
<v Speaker 1>up in this country, let me start with man. They

0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:40.880
<v Speaker 1>grew up with a father that's transgendered. I got titties.

0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I walk around with women's clothes on to make money,

0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:45.320
<v Speaker 1>and I dressed up as a woman, and my children

0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 1>have known this. So my children are racist. I didn't

0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 1>raise those children to be racist. I didn't raise my

0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:52.800
<v Speaker 1>children to be hateful. I raised them to meet people

0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.319
<v Speaker 1>where they were and don't like nobody that don't like you.

0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:57.920
<v Speaker 1>So don't come at me sideways with no excuse about

0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:00.160
<v Speaker 1>what he did not have, because then I'm a tell

0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.240
<v Speaker 1>you what my children did not have. But what they

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.560
<v Speaker 1>did have was a responsible parent. Those are irresponsible parents.

0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Y'all need to go out to the parents, stop take

0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.200
<v Speaker 1>their home, take everything from them. Because he ain't learned

0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.120
<v Speaker 1>the nigger word from the Jefferson is a good times

0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:14.080
<v Speaker 1>all in the family. They don't show that numb moore,

0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:16.400
<v Speaker 1>he said at the Denter table, and learn that word all.

0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.880
<v Speaker 1>They hate that he knows he learned eighteen years old.

0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:21.640
<v Speaker 1>And you hate like that. Oh, I agree, and The

0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.240
<v Speaker 1>interesting thing is yesterday, like I said, I just got

0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:26.079
<v Speaker 1>back from Atlanta and I went out, me and my

0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.679
<v Speaker 1>dad went to go have sushi together, and we were

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:30.840
<v Speaker 1>sitting at the table. There was this white family who

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.000
<v Speaker 1>directly across from us. There was this little girl that

0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:36.120
<v Speaker 1>was sitting in her hot chair and she kept turning

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.520
<v Speaker 1>around and smiling at me and looking at me and waving,

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:41.359
<v Speaker 1>and you could tell, not that the parents were uncomfortable,

0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:43.400
<v Speaker 1>but you could just tell it was like, oh, like,

0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, there was some apprehension to make sure it

0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:47.839
<v Speaker 1>was okay, you know, and then you know if she

0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 1>kept looking at us, but she was so sweet, you know,

0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.320
<v Speaker 1>and she was laughing and wanting to play and interact,

0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:55.960
<v Speaker 1>and it was just that's the prime example of how

0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 1>racism is just to learn behavior. Because you got these

0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.959
<v Speaker 1>babies that are is happy, they want to engage with you.

0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:03.800
<v Speaker 1>They're not looking at the color of your skin, They're

0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 1>looking at you as a person. But racism is truly

0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:11.000
<v Speaker 1>a learned behavior. And I hope wholeheartedly agree. There was

0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 1>three different incidents actually this weekend. There was also an

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:17.280
<v Speaker 1>incident in Orange County in California, Laguna um Woods, and

0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 1>then there was I forgot what city had happened in,

0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 1>but three Koreans were killed. Three Korean women were killed too,

0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:27.199
<v Speaker 1>So that was a bad black man too. Well, it

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:32.080
<v Speaker 1>is it is just marching and protesting, ain't doing nothing.

0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:35.240
<v Speaker 1>They killed ten black people and in the y'all keep

0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:37.760
<v Speaker 1>holland we don't want y'all in that neighborhood. They were

0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:41.000
<v Speaker 1>in their own neighborhood. This man drove all these mouths

0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.520
<v Speaker 1>to this neighborhood because in his head he was fucked up.

0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.240
<v Speaker 1>He was an empty, broken person. He's an ignorant nigger.

0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.439
<v Speaker 1>I see what I said. And if he got this

0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.839
<v Speaker 1>much hate and he's eighteen, this thing just starting the

0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:55.959
<v Speaker 1>researching this, and I've been researching that he was only

0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Internet up under all of these militant girls. And yeah,

0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:02.000
<v Speaker 1>he watched Tego cossing every day. He also was a

0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:05.719
<v Speaker 1>huge Trump supporter. Trump did not release the racist, but

0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.079
<v Speaker 1>he let made all the roaches and rats come out

0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:11.319
<v Speaker 1>the crevices. They were in their own corner of the world,

0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.719
<v Speaker 1>living their life, doing what they were doing. But he

0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:16.080
<v Speaker 1>has made it so open. And this is the man

0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:17.920
<v Speaker 1>that y'all think about trying to put back in the office.

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.000
<v Speaker 1>He was also the same president as that said he

0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.599
<v Speaker 1>wasn't leaving when he lost and did not leave for

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:26.160
<v Speaker 1>what a month? Well, he he left when he had

0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:28.920
<v Speaker 1>to leave, yes, But but the mere fact that he

0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.480
<v Speaker 1>said that and he stayed longer than he was supposed

0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:34.000
<v Speaker 1>to and then all these missing documents are coming up

0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:35.959
<v Speaker 1>that he took all these legal documents that he was

0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.400
<v Speaker 1>supposed to turn in and now they're missing. Supposed that

0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Mara lago. But this is the man you'll want to

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 1>put back in the office. Y'all got to do better

0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.040
<v Speaker 1>as a people by voting. Y'all got to make sure

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.000
<v Speaker 1>that all your ads are died and all your teas

0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:48.480
<v Speaker 1>across and again with Laurence said that was a great

0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:51.240
<v Speaker 1>example of that kids are not born racist. Racism is

0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:53.640
<v Speaker 1>a learned behavior because little kids just see other people.

0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.079
<v Speaker 1>They wore human contact and human cut touch. Just like

0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:57.640
<v Speaker 1>the little six year ol white boy. Did you see

0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.160
<v Speaker 1>that that went bamming on the people? He is not

0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:04.319
<v Speaker 1>I would have belt and took him to his mom

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.360
<v Speaker 1>and daddy house and say this ain't what y'all. Y'all

0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.199
<v Speaker 1>ain't doing your job, so he won't do this to

0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:10.000
<v Speaker 1>my house. And well, I whooped his ask, well, that

0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:14.360
<v Speaker 1>father was well, the father was arrested and for like

0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:17.079
<v Speaker 1>criminal conduct, but that father was arrested. You know the

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.560
<v Speaker 1>thing that trips me up about white people. They always

0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:21.760
<v Speaker 1>get mad and try to say that, you know, go

0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.360
<v Speaker 1>back where you came from. I wonder if they really like,

0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 1>grasp or fathom the fact that y'all weren't born here.

0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Maybe y'all should take your own advice because your ancestors

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.880
<v Speaker 1>were not here. Y'all were not Native Americans. So the

0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:36.600
<v Speaker 1>fact that you'll keep telling us to go back to

0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:38.640
<v Speaker 1>where we are and they need to y'all were not

0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:43.120
<v Speaker 1>born here. Y'all immigrated here. My response for telling us

0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:46.480
<v Speaker 1>to go back to where we came from. Show up

0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:48.440
<v Speaker 1>with a bill of sale and we out of here,

0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:50.440
<v Speaker 1>because the only person who takes you back without a

0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:52.440
<v Speaker 1>receipt is Northern reck and y'all didn't get us from

0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Northern y'all care to Africans stole us? You cannot return

0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:58.880
<v Speaker 1>stolen goods one more time. Show me the bill of

0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.320
<v Speaker 1>sale and I go back. You purchased my ancests because

0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:06.200
<v Speaker 1>you ain't purchased it, you stole. It's just baffling to me, honestly,

0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:10.080
<v Speaker 1>It's really baffling to me, the just the sense of

0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:12.840
<v Speaker 1>entitlement and the fact that, oh, I'm supposed to be here,

0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:16.200
<v Speaker 1>and y'all was, you know, escaping religious persecution and came

0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:19.400
<v Speaker 1>over here, but you brought diseases, you know, famine, everything

0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:22.640
<v Speaker 1>else and destroyed this country and then couldn't build upon

0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:24.560
<v Speaker 1>it and couldn't create an economy. So you went and

0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:27.120
<v Speaker 1>stole us because you couldn't do what your damnselves and

0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.120
<v Speaker 1>got the nerve to have an attitude talk about go

0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:31.080
<v Speaker 1>back where you came from. We initially don't want to

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.680
<v Speaker 1>come here in the first damn place, but we're here now,

0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.600
<v Speaker 1>and I ain't going nowhere, honey, I got welfare, Section

0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:41.880
<v Speaker 1>A E B T. I ain't going No, it is,

0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:45.160
<v Speaker 1>it is. It's so scary loring. And then this man

0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:46.800
<v Speaker 1>come out with the gun that I'm just talking about,

0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.760
<v Speaker 1>the NaIO dad, and shoot the gun. I'm gonna shot

0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:53.520
<v Speaker 1>his own kid. The daughter was gone. Your daughter was

0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:56.000
<v Speaker 1>like behind a gun and children Because I'm telling you

0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:59.480
<v Speaker 1>right now, it's just ridiculous. That's why he got arrested.

0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:02.480
<v Speaker 1>But the little look at the what now, so what

0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:05.000
<v Speaker 1>is this little boy gonna become at eighteen. He's now

0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.160
<v Speaker 1>now like this, what will he do at a team

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:10.880
<v Speaker 1>at sixteen? America? Keep sending the wrong message, even we're

0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.680
<v Speaker 1>written how shooting up the people? Y'all sent the wrong message.

0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:15.640
<v Speaker 1>So now all the copycat killers. And that is my

0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:21.200
<v Speaker 1>biggest fear, the copycat killers, because I've seen this guy

0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:24.120
<v Speaker 1>shoot ten black people? Can I do more? What can

0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:25.720
<v Speaker 1>I do to make the news? You know what I mean?

0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:28.160
<v Speaker 1>A long and we as black people, we are keep

0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:31.240
<v Speaker 1>oh another one. We're not We're not making it a

0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.000
<v Speaker 1>big deal. We have to make it a big deal.

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it is that we're just tired.

0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm tired. I'm tired of waking up. I'm tired of protesting,

0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:44.520
<v Speaker 1>but seeing us get killed, like mentally, physically, emotionally, I'm exhausted.

0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:46.960
<v Speaker 1>And that's the thing that bothers me too, is like,

0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:50.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, any type of hate is unacceptable. But we've

0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.640
<v Speaker 1>been doing this for so long, and it's like every

0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.600
<v Speaker 1>time something happens, we're expected to just galvanize and to

0:16:56.720 --> 0:17:01.200
<v Speaker 1>just show up and be present. It's tiring. It's so tiring.

0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:06.119
<v Speaker 1>It says our sound is in and out? Is it

0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:13.760
<v Speaker 1>the are you on your WiFi. So I'm just saying

0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.159
<v Speaker 1>I hear that. But at the same time, there's just

0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:20.399
<v Speaker 1>we're just expected to keep the wheels turning into just

0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:22.720
<v Speaker 1>keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, and it's

0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:26.200
<v Speaker 1>it's it's unfair sometimes to just set that expectation because

0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:30.000
<v Speaker 1>out of everybody, we've been fighting the longest, we really have,

0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:33.399
<v Speaker 1>and sometimes we're just tired. We need a moment, we

0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:36.199
<v Speaker 1>really do. And every time some type of hate comes up,

0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:38.439
<v Speaker 1>whether it's eight and um, you know, people being anti

0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:42.119
<v Speaker 1>Asian or anti Semitic, the black people are expected to

0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.359
<v Speaker 1>show up because you know, we have the blueprint, we

0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:47.480
<v Speaker 1>know what we're supposed to do. But if the tables

0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:51.600
<v Speaker 1>are turned, the same thing doesn't apply. You know what

0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:54.720
<v Speaker 1>was the most ironic part of that whole situation that

0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.520
<v Speaker 1>happened in uh Buffalo, New York. And shout out to

0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:00.360
<v Speaker 1>the people of Buffalo, New York, to the city into

0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:02.960
<v Speaker 1>all the victims and all the victims families because it

0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.040
<v Speaker 1>was so tragic and we want to give their names,

0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:09.440
<v Speaker 1>acknowledging all the victims because this coward because what it

0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:12.680
<v Speaker 1>was was a coward ass move. You went to a neighborhood, Hey,

0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:15.960
<v Speaker 1>tweinaky bird. You went to a neighborhood where it's a

0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:19.320
<v Speaker 1>bunch of elderly people. You went to a neighborhood where

0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.320
<v Speaker 1>these were just upstanding existed. You ain't went to Compton,

0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:24.760
<v Speaker 1>n You ain't went the Bronx. You didn't go to

0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:26.600
<v Speaker 1>the West Side or the South side of Chicago. You

0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:29.399
<v Speaker 1>didn't go to Detroit of Baltimore. That's when you want

0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:31.600
<v Speaker 1>to prove your man who there's a white person, show

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:33.640
<v Speaker 1>up in the neighborhoods and see what they give your ass.

0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:36.320
<v Speaker 1>And so the victims names here and long you read

0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:39.040
<v Speaker 1>it because your your your addiction is better than man.

0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Celestine Cheney, ROBERTA. Drury to the ages, please okay. Celestine

0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Cheney sixty five, ROBERTA. Drury thirty two, Andre McNeil fifty three,

0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Katherine Macy seventy two, Marguts D. Morrison fifty two, Hayward

0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Patterson sixty seven, Aaron Salter Jr. Who's also retired police officer.

0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:03.240
<v Speaker 1>When there was a feature, Yes, Geraldine Tally sixty two,

0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Ruth Whitfield eighty six, and Pearl Young seventy seven. Rest

0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:09.200
<v Speaker 1>in peace to all the victims and shout out to

0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:11.240
<v Speaker 1>all their families, because when you kill one person, you

0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:14.399
<v Speaker 1>don't just kill that one person. It affects so many others,

0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:17.960
<v Speaker 1>so many others, And this was this was a coward

0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:21.080
<v Speaker 1>ass move. It was cowardly to me because cowards where

0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:23.600
<v Speaker 1>it don't take courage to pull a trigger. It takes

0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:25.760
<v Speaker 1>courage to not pull a trigger. You need to be

0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:27.920
<v Speaker 1>at a reason and talk to people. But that's not

0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:30.359
<v Speaker 1>who you all are, because that's not what you can do.

0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:33.399
<v Speaker 1>And you was going to throwing hands. One of them

0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:35.359
<v Speaker 1>old women that you shot and kill probably would have

0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:37.359
<v Speaker 1>beat your ass because old black ladies do not play

0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:40.480
<v Speaker 1>at all. But it's it's let's talk about the trauma

0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:44.399
<v Speaker 1>that happens afterwards. Like we have these isolated incidents, but

0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:47.000
<v Speaker 1>then there's no conversation about the trauma that happens afterwards.

0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:49.959
<v Speaker 1>So we have situations where a black man is pulled over.

0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:51.840
<v Speaker 1>You have to teach your young black kids and black

0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:54.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, females at this point what you do when

0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:56.960
<v Speaker 1>you get pulled over by the police officer. So now

0:19:57.040 --> 0:19:59.200
<v Speaker 1>it's black folks going into a grocery store, we gotta

0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:01.040
<v Speaker 1>be on our p's and Q going into a restaurant,

0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:04.639
<v Speaker 1>going into a church. It's traumatic. It's trauma, and nobody

0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:07.440
<v Speaker 1>talks about the fact that mental health is such a

0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 1>big contributing factor when we have to go through all

0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:13.800
<v Speaker 1>of these, you know, tragic events and we are suffering

0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:15.960
<v Speaker 1>from mental health. So before y'all come at me sideways

0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:18.200
<v Speaker 1>and say he had mental health, he didn't have mental health.

0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:20.480
<v Speaker 1>He was a racist who was taught to be to

0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:22.840
<v Speaker 1>be hateful. He was an empty big he was. He

0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:25.200
<v Speaker 1>was an empty person who had nothing. And it's so

0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:28.320
<v Speaker 1>fucking saying and so tragic. And for all you celebrities

0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:31.320
<v Speaker 1>that kept running around holland'all was traumatized because Will Smith

0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:36.200
<v Speaker 1>slapped Chris Rock. That wasn't traumatizing. This is this situation

0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:37.879
<v Speaker 1>is trauma because I didn't heard none of y'all say

0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:39.880
<v Speaker 1>none y'all quiet a church house mouth. I ain't heard

0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:43.959
<v Speaker 1>nobody said it was traumatazed behind this nobody. And if

0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:46.520
<v Speaker 1>you think I'm talking to you, yes, I'm talking to you.

0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I just honestly need um. I don't know what needs

0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:53.440
<v Speaker 1>to happen, but it just seems like we're on this

0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:57.000
<v Speaker 1>hamster wheel and this perpetual ongoing cycle. Nothing's getting better

0:20:57.160 --> 0:20:59.639
<v Speaker 1>because every time something like this happens. Congress was like, oh,

0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:02.719
<v Speaker 1>we need to have a gun reformed, you know, conversation

0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:06.040
<v Speaker 1>which we have these conversations and nothing ever changes. So

0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:10.240
<v Speaker 1>I just I can't. I'm not going to promote violence.

0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:13.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm not for that. But I am on on that

0:21:14.240 --> 0:21:16.680
<v Speaker 1>self preservation is the first love of nature. You have

0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:19.840
<v Speaker 1>to protect you, your first priority, to protect you and

0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:22.400
<v Speaker 1>your loved ones. That is not telling me to tell

0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:25.000
<v Speaker 1>you to do anything out of sorts, but hear me

0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:27.639
<v Speaker 1>when I tell you that I would rather be with

0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:31.280
<v Speaker 1>some protection than without some protection. Because now they keep saying, well,

0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:33.280
<v Speaker 1>y'all need to stay in your own neighborhood, stay where

0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:36.240
<v Speaker 1>you're safe. Safe. They were in a grocery store where

0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:39.679
<v Speaker 1>people were in the church. They prayed with him, for him,

0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:42.800
<v Speaker 1>and around him and over him, and he still killed

0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:46.440
<v Speaker 1>on none of those people. Uh, Brianna Taylor was safe

0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:49.600
<v Speaker 1>in her bed sleeping. Where can you be saving with

0:21:49.680 --> 0:21:51.520
<v Speaker 1>a lockdoor? They keep the doing and shout and killed

0:21:51.560 --> 0:21:54.200
<v Speaker 1>this woman, the Amber Gaga's victim, I can't think of

0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:56.399
<v Speaker 1>his name. She went in the wrong apartment trying to

0:21:56.440 --> 0:21:59.760
<v Speaker 1>get some dick from somebody else and shot the wrong man.

0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Where are we safe? That you are safe when you

0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:05.439
<v Speaker 1>get some safety on you, because guess what, you can

0:22:05.480 --> 0:22:08.000
<v Speaker 1>only that once. But that's what I'm saying. There's so

0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:12.119
<v Speaker 1>much trauma related to all of these isolated incidents, and

0:22:12.200 --> 0:22:15.040
<v Speaker 1>I feel like nobody talks about that. It's just that, oh,

0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:17.520
<v Speaker 1>we're so sad. You see a post on Twitter prayers

0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:19.359
<v Speaker 1>a breast in peace. This is so it's in the

0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:22.119
<v Speaker 1>news cycle for a little bit. But then what about

0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:26.160
<v Speaker 1>after that, the trauma that you're constantly experiencing. Nobody's talking

0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:28.960
<v Speaker 1>about that. Yeah, we need some black leaders that will

0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:32.640
<v Speaker 1>help form We need to form some kind of coalition

0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:35.200
<v Speaker 1>or something. And I'm not saying that I'm ready to

0:22:35.240 --> 0:22:37.360
<v Speaker 1>go to war, but I ain't scared of the fight.

0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:40.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you, I'm not scared of the fight because listen,

0:22:40.880 --> 0:22:42.040
<v Speaker 1>if I got to do what I got to do

0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:44.280
<v Speaker 1>to protect me a man, that's exactly what I'm going

0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:47.520
<v Speaker 1>to do. I ain't know gangster, I ain't no hardcore thug,

0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:49.840
<v Speaker 1>but I am a human being. And what I am

0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:53.120
<v Speaker 1>as an American, I'm a fucking American. Whatever you think

0:22:53.200 --> 0:22:55.760
<v Speaker 1>I am not, I am an American, born, raised and

0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:58.480
<v Speaker 1>made in America. Because these cities and ass wasn't for free.

0:22:59.400 --> 0:23:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Uh huh. But y'all, some of y'all not, some of y'all.

0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Just I don't know why you think that in all

0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:06.400
<v Speaker 1>this we want a pure race. We want a pure

0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:13.399
<v Speaker 1>Arean race. First of all, that that doesn't exist. We

0:23:13.480 --> 0:23:15.960
<v Speaker 1>would have had a pure Area race. Y'all would have

0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:18.040
<v Speaker 1>had a pure Avery race. If you're a great, great,

0:23:18.080 --> 0:23:21.040
<v Speaker 1>great great grass As could have stayed there. Nancy. Nancy

0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:23.719
<v Speaker 1>asses out the slave quarters and the white women want

0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:25.879
<v Speaker 1>to breastfeed their own babies. You do know that there

0:23:26.000 --> 0:23:28.440
<v Speaker 1>is blood and breast milk. There is nothing pure in

0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:34.320
<v Speaker 1>this country. Nothing. Everything is mixed, and everything is mostly

0:23:34.440 --> 0:23:39.720
<v Speaker 1>mixed with African. We are the originators. Everything is mostly

0:23:39.800 --> 0:23:42.040
<v Speaker 1>mixed with Africa. And if you want your white daughters

0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:44.919
<v Speaker 1>to stop sleeping with black men, tell them stop going

0:23:44.960 --> 0:23:48.000
<v Speaker 1>to the sports games. Because all you need to have

0:23:48.080 --> 0:23:53.320
<v Speaker 1>on a jersey, basketball, football, baseball, soccer, hockey ship lacross

0:23:53.680 --> 0:24:00.199
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna give it up. Cassie. Hello, how's how's every thing?

0:24:00.920 --> 0:24:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Everything is wonderful, Everything was wonderful. It brings me my

0:24:04.880 --> 0:24:09.120
<v Speaker 1>heart pain to hear you read off um everyone who

0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:12.439
<v Speaker 1>was murdered. He just thirty eight to eighty six. I believe,

0:24:12.560 --> 0:24:16.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, and then I just yeah, and tragically. I

0:24:16.640 --> 0:24:18.840
<v Speaker 1>have the video and I would share and show the

0:24:18.880 --> 0:24:20.560
<v Speaker 1>video because they took it down, but I have the

0:24:20.600 --> 0:24:23.400
<v Speaker 1>actual video where he taped it and everything. But it's

0:24:23.560 --> 0:24:27.239
<v Speaker 1>so disheardening for people to see, and I don't want

0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:29.480
<v Speaker 1>to put that in people's psyche. Hey, Terry, my darling,

0:24:30.080 --> 0:24:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to put that in people's psyche because

0:24:32.560 --> 0:24:35.280
<v Speaker 1>everybody hasn't seen it, and some people can't deal with it.

0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:39.479
<v Speaker 1>It is. It's a lot. I had some nightmares last night.

0:24:39.520 --> 0:24:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I saw the video. He said. I usually don't watch

0:24:43.080 --> 0:24:45.440
<v Speaker 1>that kind of stuff, but I watched it, and I

0:24:45.560 --> 0:24:47.840
<v Speaker 1>just my heart, My heart was grieving. It's just like

0:24:48.440 --> 0:24:50.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking of my grandma. I'm thinking of my aunt,

0:24:50.680 --> 0:24:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking of my sister's my you know, everyone that

0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:56.760
<v Speaker 1>was murdered by this sense was killing like straight up.

0:24:57.359 --> 0:25:00.840
<v Speaker 1>He was groomed up, racist. It's it's kind of surreal

0:25:00.960 --> 0:25:03.120
<v Speaker 1>to watch it because it looks like a video game.

0:25:03.160 --> 0:25:06.360
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't look real. And now, you know, even though

0:25:06.400 --> 0:25:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I know it was very real, and I'm not giving

0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:11.159
<v Speaker 1>this man a pass. That all fun this clown, but

0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:14.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm wondering if if, if that played a part in

0:25:14.480 --> 0:25:17.320
<v Speaker 1>his psyche, that in his head, that he thought that

0:25:17.400 --> 0:25:19.720
<v Speaker 1>it was an actual video game and he lived it

0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:23.520
<v Speaker 1>out because some of these kids we have no, I

0:25:23.560 --> 0:25:25.280
<v Speaker 1>don't think it was that. I know he was complete

0:25:25.320 --> 0:25:28.920
<v Speaker 1>on racist because even the guns said, this is your reparations, niggers.

0:25:30.160 --> 0:25:32.879
<v Speaker 1>The end of his gun said that. But then the office,

0:25:32.920 --> 0:25:36.560
<v Speaker 1>the arresting officer, the officer with the handcuff him, had

0:25:36.600 --> 0:25:38.840
<v Speaker 1>all kind of swatskas and shipped on his arm, So

0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:42.040
<v Speaker 1>how can we win? Was that confirmed? If you looked

0:25:42.080 --> 0:25:43.440
<v Speaker 1>at the news, you can see the ship on his

0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:45.520
<v Speaker 1>arm when he put his arm out. Okay, because I

0:25:45.600 --> 0:25:47.440
<v Speaker 1>know people were asking, like they were saying, we would

0:25:47.480 --> 0:25:49.720
<v Speaker 1>love to see what was actually on his arms. So

0:25:49.800 --> 0:25:52.200
<v Speaker 1>were those tattoos confirmed? Yeah, they had the tattoos on

0:25:52.240 --> 0:25:55.719
<v Speaker 1>his arm? Hello, gorgeous twinky, How are you hello? Mclan

0:25:55.760 --> 0:25:57.639
<v Speaker 1>Put the mica over here, I mean the headphones over here.

0:25:57.680 --> 0:26:02.280
<v Speaker 1>I can hear over there. How are you? Twin keys? Are?

0:26:02.880 --> 0:26:06.720
<v Speaker 1>I am? I would have greater days, better days, better spirits.

0:26:06.800 --> 0:26:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm angry, I'm frustrated, I'm mad. I want to retaliate,

0:26:10.960 --> 0:26:12.639
<v Speaker 1>and I don't want to be stopped by the police

0:26:12.640 --> 0:26:14.640
<v Speaker 1>because I do not think that it will end well

0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:17.760
<v Speaker 1>for me. Let me be very honest and very transparent

0:26:17.880 --> 0:26:20.680
<v Speaker 1>right now, because they won't see my transgender, they won't

0:26:20.680 --> 0:26:24.800
<v Speaker 1>see my LGBT. All they're gonna see is that I'm black. Yeah,

0:26:24.840 --> 0:26:30.720
<v Speaker 1>that's it. Yeah. Yeah. This man was arrested without incident.

0:26:30.960 --> 0:26:35.320
<v Speaker 1>He videotaped his his whole debacle. That it was methodical,

0:26:35.440 --> 0:26:38.240
<v Speaker 1>he plotted and playing in skiing and put this out

0:26:38.560 --> 0:26:40.560
<v Speaker 1>and then y'all allow him to come to court and

0:26:40.640 --> 0:26:43.440
<v Speaker 1>plead not guilty. What the funk are we even having

0:26:43.480 --> 0:26:49.399
<v Speaker 1>a trial for I'm still wondering why he's alive, right,

0:26:49.520 --> 0:26:52.160
<v Speaker 1>because how did that even? How did that even happen?

0:26:52.600 --> 0:26:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Especially with the weapon here, I mean, come on, like

0:26:55.480 --> 0:26:58.399
<v Speaker 1>he's full on through thee I mean you should have

0:26:58.520 --> 0:27:01.640
<v Speaker 1>just took him out, like the double standard is through

0:27:01.720 --> 0:27:06.240
<v Speaker 1>the roof. And um, it's going to be some time.

0:27:06.680 --> 0:27:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Uh it's it's time now for us to get uncomfortable

0:27:10.400 --> 0:27:15.960
<v Speaker 1>because Uh, our ancestors did it. They were uncomfortable for

0:27:16.080 --> 0:27:18.440
<v Speaker 1>three d and eighty two days and brought down the

0:27:18.480 --> 0:27:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Montgomery bus system. It's time for us to get uncomfortable.

0:27:21.720 --> 0:27:25.320
<v Speaker 1>We're playing games now we just think that social we

0:27:25.400 --> 0:27:30.000
<v Speaker 1>think social media is actually it's a tool. It is not.

0:27:30.320 --> 0:27:33.440
<v Speaker 1>It's not an actual boycott. It's not an it's not

0:27:33.560 --> 0:27:36.440
<v Speaker 1>hitting them where they live financially, it's not. They're playing

0:27:36.520 --> 0:27:39.240
<v Speaker 1>games with us. They're playing games with us. Don't give

0:27:39.280 --> 0:27:42.000
<v Speaker 1>me that one more more, not one more trinket. I

0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:44.639
<v Speaker 1>don't need another trinket. I don't need another person in

0:27:45.040 --> 0:27:48.400
<v Speaker 1>in front of the camera to represent something. Right now,

0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:52.000
<v Speaker 1>we need some legislation, we need reparations. We need uh

0:27:52.240 --> 0:27:54.840
<v Speaker 1>anti lynching. We need more than an anti lynching bill.

0:27:54.920 --> 0:27:57.320
<v Speaker 1>We need We needed to go big. It's it's it

0:27:58.600 --> 0:28:02.760
<v Speaker 1>takes take care of take care of those white supremacist

0:28:02.800 --> 0:28:06.119
<v Speaker 1>groups and get rid of them, dismantle them. They got

0:28:06.280 --> 0:28:08.560
<v Speaker 1>rid of our people who were doing good, who were

0:28:08.600 --> 0:28:12.120
<v Speaker 1>bringing food programs to our neighborhoods, who are educating our youth,

0:28:12.440 --> 0:28:14.600
<v Speaker 1>who were taking care of our homeless and our women.

0:28:15.520 --> 0:28:20.480
<v Speaker 1>But these white supremacists that they're everywhere. So either they're

0:28:20.520 --> 0:28:24.040
<v Speaker 1>doing the job that you want them to do, or

0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:26.840
<v Speaker 1>you get rid of them. And and he's such a

0:28:26.960 --> 0:28:29.440
<v Speaker 1>coward move you you go to a place where most

0:28:29.480 --> 0:28:33.040
<v Speaker 1>of these people were, there's a food desert so all

0:28:33.119 --> 0:28:35.879
<v Speaker 1>of them were there shopping for their neighborhoods and for

0:28:35.960 --> 0:28:38.320
<v Speaker 1>the people, their loved ones, in order they have fresh

0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:41.280
<v Speaker 1>fruit and vegetables for their own homes, for their own

0:28:42.000 --> 0:28:46.400
<v Speaker 1>for their own bodies, for the nourishment of their bodies. Yeah,

0:28:46.760 --> 0:28:48.800
<v Speaker 1>And in as much as I appreciate the government of

0:28:48.880 --> 0:28:51.360
<v Speaker 1>New York speaking and saying we're not going to tolerate

0:28:51.440 --> 0:28:53.240
<v Speaker 1>this and move, I don't want this neign to be

0:28:53.320 --> 0:28:55.400
<v Speaker 1>charged with a federal hate cramp. I want him to

0:28:55.480 --> 0:28:58.200
<v Speaker 1>go to a state prison and do state time with

0:28:58.360 --> 0:29:01.360
<v Speaker 1>state boys and unders. Seeing me, they're gonna they're gonna

0:29:01.400 --> 0:29:07.440
<v Speaker 1>handle his ass, I would hope. So we're still waiting

0:29:07.480 --> 0:29:11.640
<v Speaker 1>on them to handle the other people. I'm angry, and

0:29:11.720 --> 0:29:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm frustrated, and I'm afraid, and I'm my back is

0:29:15.040 --> 0:29:17.760
<v Speaker 1>to the wall, and I have children that's eighteen and

0:29:17.920 --> 0:29:22.200
<v Speaker 1>nineteen years old. I'm transgender. I got so many minuses

0:29:22.400 --> 0:29:25.040
<v Speaker 1>at me. But the plus is, I'm not gonna live

0:29:25.120 --> 0:29:27.520
<v Speaker 1>my life in fear. I'm not going to live You're

0:29:27.560 --> 0:29:30.200
<v Speaker 1>not going to intimidate me or shake me or make

0:29:30.280 --> 0:29:33.240
<v Speaker 1>me afraid. I will retaliate and I will stand up

0:29:33.280 --> 0:29:35.720
<v Speaker 1>for myself, even if that means my life. And I

0:29:35.840 --> 0:29:39.560
<v Speaker 1>mean that because I can only that one time. I

0:29:39.680 --> 0:29:43.080
<v Speaker 1>think it's really caused me to really be mindful. Like

0:29:43.200 --> 0:29:45.480
<v Speaker 1>I was at the gym today and I positioned myself

0:29:45.560 --> 0:29:47.480
<v Speaker 1>so I can see the door, and every time someone

0:29:47.600 --> 0:29:49.400
<v Speaker 1>came in, I'm looking to see what you're looking like.

0:29:50.000 --> 0:29:52.240
<v Speaker 1>And so I'm on the treadmill, but I'm looking, Okay,

0:29:52.320 --> 0:29:54.880
<v Speaker 1>how is this person looking? So you're just really on

0:29:55.080 --> 0:29:56.960
<v Speaker 1>high and learning because you don't know what kind of

0:29:57.120 --> 0:29:59.800
<v Speaker 1>you don't know. And this is how we have to

0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:02.800
<v Speaker 1>in with our heads on a swivel. Yeah, that's how

0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:05.800
<v Speaker 1>we have to live in defense mode all the time,

0:30:06.360 --> 0:30:09.280
<v Speaker 1>always ready, all the time. And what does that do

0:30:09.480 --> 0:30:13.960
<v Speaker 1>to you? Post traumatic disorder, stress disorder. You're stressed out

0:30:14.000 --> 0:30:17.000
<v Speaker 1>because you always got your guard up. You're knuckled up

0:30:17.040 --> 0:30:21.760
<v Speaker 1>all the time. Angry black people are angry black women.

0:30:22.040 --> 0:30:24.360
<v Speaker 1>We have a right to be angry. We are always

0:30:24.400 --> 0:30:27.000
<v Speaker 1>on high fucking alert. We are always on high alert.

0:30:27.720 --> 0:30:29.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to be on highler. I would like

0:30:29.560 --> 0:30:30.840
<v Speaker 1>to be able to walk down the street and not

0:30:31.000 --> 0:30:34.040
<v Speaker 1>worry about somebody walking past me and looking at me

0:30:34.120 --> 0:30:35.680
<v Speaker 1>because of the color of my skin and saying that

0:30:35.720 --> 0:30:38.360
<v Speaker 1>they hate me, you nigger. You don't know me. He

0:30:38.520 --> 0:30:41.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know you. I hate you back, but I'm

0:30:41.600 --> 0:30:43.440
<v Speaker 1>to retaliate. I'm not gonna try to hurt you. I

0:30:43.440 --> 0:30:47.160
<v Speaker 1>don't live my life to hurt people. I hope, I'm

0:30:47.200 --> 0:30:52.920
<v Speaker 1>hoping I'm having people agreed. And you are. You're such

0:30:52.960 --> 0:30:55.240
<v Speaker 1>a beacon. You are such a beacon of light, saying

0:30:55.480 --> 0:30:57.840
<v Speaker 1>thank you. I'll tell you something. I got some beacons

0:30:57.880 --> 0:31:00.880
<v Speaker 1>with me, and I'm not promoting violent but self preservation

0:31:01.000 --> 0:31:02.880
<v Speaker 1>is the first live of nature. And if you cross

0:31:02.960 --> 0:31:09.120
<v Speaker 1>this land, baby, it's with me too. And I'm not

0:31:09.280 --> 0:31:12.920
<v Speaker 1>leaving home without them. I was at a comedy event

0:31:13.360 --> 0:31:16.600
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday night, and I was looking at all the

0:31:16.720 --> 0:31:21.120
<v Speaker 1>exits at a comedy event just because the place was

0:31:21.200 --> 0:31:24.200
<v Speaker 1>full of black people. That's how I have to live,

0:31:24.280 --> 0:31:27.360
<v Speaker 1>That's how we have to live there. Well, I can

0:31:27.520 --> 0:31:29.920
<v Speaker 1>be honest. I don't like going into movie theaters anymore

0:31:30.320 --> 0:31:32.400
<v Speaker 1>because I don't feel safe going into a movie theater.

0:31:32.520 --> 0:31:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I think i'd rather just watch it when it comes

0:31:34.680 --> 0:31:37.960
<v Speaker 1>out on regular TV, or if I could stream it somewhere.

0:31:38.160 --> 0:31:39.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to go into a movie theater because

0:31:39.760 --> 0:31:42.320
<v Speaker 1>I always feel like I don't know what's about to happen,

0:31:42.400 --> 0:31:45.040
<v Speaker 1>is somebody walking in here. Security is not that great,

0:31:45.080 --> 0:31:46.800
<v Speaker 1>they're not you know, there's no metal detectors. When you

0:31:46.880 --> 0:31:50.640
<v Speaker 1>go into a movie theater, it's dark, you know, and

0:31:50.720 --> 0:31:53.560
<v Speaker 1>the exits aren't always in the most prime spots if

0:31:53.560 --> 0:31:56.160
<v Speaker 1>you're sitting at the top, like, there's just certain places

0:31:56.200 --> 0:31:59.000
<v Speaker 1>that I just don't want to go to anymore. Oh yeah,

0:31:59.320 --> 0:32:03.560
<v Speaker 1>I agree. Sadly. It's sadly when and if, because there

0:32:03.600 --> 0:32:05.600
<v Speaker 1>will come a day that we will have to get

0:32:05.640 --> 0:32:08.080
<v Speaker 1>on our hand legs and retaliate to stand up for ourselves.

0:32:08.760 --> 0:32:11.320
<v Speaker 1>When it kicks off, it's going to be we gotta

0:32:11.320 --> 0:32:13.520
<v Speaker 1>stop running as black people. We gotta start running to

0:32:13.560 --> 0:32:15.800
<v Speaker 1>get labels and Gucci. We gotta go get Ammo and

0:32:15.880 --> 0:32:18.320
<v Speaker 1>be prepared for whatever's going to happen in this country.

0:32:18.720 --> 0:32:20.960
<v Speaker 1>It's not like it has not happened before. It will

0:32:21.080 --> 0:32:24.640
<v Speaker 1>happen again, and it will be it'll be magnanimous because

0:32:24.680 --> 0:32:26.760
<v Speaker 1>of the weapons that we have now. They didn't have

0:32:26.880 --> 0:32:29.320
<v Speaker 1>these weapons of destruction back when they had the Civil War.

0:32:29.600 --> 0:32:31.960
<v Speaker 1>We got weapons of destruction now. And look how easy

0:32:32.000 --> 0:32:34.360
<v Speaker 1>it is to get this nigga eighteen years old. They

0:32:34.440 --> 0:32:36.520
<v Speaker 1>need to strip his mom and dad of everything because

0:32:36.560 --> 0:32:39.320
<v Speaker 1>that nigga ain't learning the nigger word and hate watching

0:32:39.400 --> 0:32:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Good Times and the Jeffersons that ship don't come out

0:32:41.360 --> 0:32:43.160
<v Speaker 1>on the more he set at his dinner table with

0:32:43.280 --> 0:32:45.840
<v Speaker 1>his parents. They need to take their homes, their livelihood,

0:32:46.040 --> 0:32:48.440
<v Speaker 1>stripped them of everything, because if you're gonna keep raising

0:32:48.720 --> 0:32:51.720
<v Speaker 1>hate for racist children, it will never stop. It will

0:32:51.880 --> 0:32:54.920
<v Speaker 1>never stop. Well, I mean that's how I feel at

0:32:55.000 --> 0:32:56.920
<v Speaker 1>this point. I don't think that racism is racism is

0:32:56.960 --> 0:32:59.240
<v Speaker 1>ever gonna end in this country. It's not. It's just

0:32:59.360 --> 0:33:00.960
<v Speaker 1>the stain that we have that we're gonna have to

0:33:01.000 --> 0:33:04.400
<v Speaker 1>constantly live with. And how he was able to get

0:33:04.480 --> 0:33:06.920
<v Speaker 1>hands on that calibra of a weapon is just beyond me.

0:33:07.400 --> 0:33:09.640
<v Speaker 1>I know, picking up a shotgun like at like a

0:33:09.960 --> 0:33:13.800
<v Speaker 1>like a gun show, But that calibrale weapon belongs in

0:33:13.880 --> 0:33:16.960
<v Speaker 1>the in the military, not in the civiliar. Well, Minnesota

0:33:17.040 --> 0:33:19.880
<v Speaker 1>sent the wrong message when they gave Kyl Riddenhouse a pass.

0:33:20.360 --> 0:33:23.320
<v Speaker 1>See did we keep sending the wrong messages? Even with

0:33:23.400 --> 0:33:25.680
<v Speaker 1>the ship with Dave Chappelle two weeks ago? They sent

0:33:25.800 --> 0:33:27.640
<v Speaker 1>the wrong man. They should have charged the young man.

0:33:27.840 --> 0:33:30.400
<v Speaker 1>They should have charged Cayl Riddinghouse with full on murder.

0:33:30.640 --> 0:33:32.360
<v Speaker 1>They send the wrong message to say you can do

0:33:32.480 --> 0:33:34.640
<v Speaker 1>this and get away with it. And the copycat killer

0:33:34.720 --> 0:33:36.040
<v Speaker 1>is gonna get it hell out of me because he

0:33:36.160 --> 0:33:38.440
<v Speaker 1>did tear The next person gonna want to do fifteen

0:33:38.560 --> 0:33:40.600
<v Speaker 1>or twenty because they keep trying to outdo each other.

0:33:40.800 --> 0:33:42.640
<v Speaker 1>We just happened to be the collateral damage in the

0:33:42.720 --> 0:33:44.920
<v Speaker 1>middle until we stand up and shoot back. When we

0:33:45.040 --> 0:33:47.360
<v Speaker 1>fight back, then we're gonna be looked at your vigilante.

0:33:47.560 --> 0:33:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Call me whatever the funk you want to, but call

0:33:49.600 --> 0:33:52.800
<v Speaker 1>me a laugh. We gotta fight back, but we also

0:33:52.880 --> 0:33:58.040
<v Speaker 1>gotta turning these juries too, like people don't kind of

0:33:58.120 --> 0:34:00.720
<v Speaker 1>jury that these people are getting our, you know, And

0:34:00.840 --> 0:34:02.840
<v Speaker 1>so we gotta learn how to work the system on

0:34:02.920 --> 0:34:04.280
<v Speaker 1>how to be able to get picks to go on

0:34:04.440 --> 0:34:07.240
<v Speaker 1>jury duty. I'm very affilionated. I never get picked, so

0:34:07.360 --> 0:34:09.879
<v Speaker 1>I gotta learn how to just calm down and get

0:34:09.960 --> 0:34:11.759
<v Speaker 1>picked so I could be able to be there for

0:34:11.880 --> 0:34:14.759
<v Speaker 1>whatever it may need to happen. That's the thing. We're

0:34:14.800 --> 0:34:17.440
<v Speaker 1>not on any side of the wain fighting back wing,

0:34:17.560 --> 0:34:20.160
<v Speaker 1>serving on the jury whatn't and voting serve on the

0:34:20.560 --> 0:34:24.720
<v Speaker 1>on the jury's voting, and being very focused on the voting.

0:34:24.960 --> 0:34:28.440
<v Speaker 1>I got a text message about voting for who is

0:34:28.520 --> 0:34:30.840
<v Speaker 1>this person? In l A. Got a text message They

0:34:30.880 --> 0:34:32.640
<v Speaker 1>said would you can we count on you to vote?

0:34:33.000 --> 0:34:35.080
<v Speaker 1>And I said, where's his record? I went all the

0:34:35.120 --> 0:34:36.880
<v Speaker 1>way to the record, went all the way through. I said, no,

0:34:37.000 --> 0:34:39.200
<v Speaker 1>you cannot count on me to vote because he wants

0:34:39.239 --> 0:34:41.839
<v Speaker 1>more police in Los Angeles and we're black and brown

0:34:41.880 --> 0:34:45.920
<v Speaker 1>are already being Our police is military. So no, you

0:34:46.000 --> 0:34:48.520
<v Speaker 1>cannot count on my vote. Oh well, if you change

0:34:48.560 --> 0:34:50.439
<v Speaker 1>your mind, I will not be changing my mind until

0:34:50.440 --> 0:34:53.400
<v Speaker 1>he changes his stance. Period. Stop texting me. I do

0:34:53.480 --> 0:34:55.239
<v Speaker 1>the same thing. I respond to those people that want

0:34:55.280 --> 0:34:57.799
<v Speaker 1>me to get to vote for those other uh right

0:34:57.880 --> 0:35:00.480
<v Speaker 1>wing especially they always get my phone numb and I

0:35:00.560 --> 0:35:02.600
<v Speaker 1>always respond and say nope, I will be voting for

0:35:02.840 --> 0:35:04.800
<v Speaker 1>such and such. I would tell you what I respond

0:35:04.840 --> 0:35:07.000
<v Speaker 1>when I get those, but this is a family show.

0:35:11.920 --> 0:35:13.799
<v Speaker 1>I sit back horrible ship so they won't keep coming

0:35:13.840 --> 0:35:15.480
<v Speaker 1>at me. I've been sitting back the worst ship I do.

0:35:15.600 --> 0:35:18.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm a horrible person. I'm a terrible person. I love it.

0:35:18.320 --> 0:35:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to ask this group of question that we

0:35:20.239 --> 0:35:23.239
<v Speaker 1>have here, Twinky. I saw you put some comments in

0:35:23.360 --> 0:35:26.320
<v Speaker 1>the chat talking about we need to get comfortable with

0:35:26.480 --> 0:35:30.399
<v Speaker 1>being uncomfortable in essence, and we hear that phrase a lot,

0:35:30.600 --> 0:35:33.560
<v Speaker 1>but I'm curious to see what that means from your

0:35:33.680 --> 0:35:36.719
<v Speaker 1>various perspectives. So, Cassie, you, but also Twinkie, what are

0:35:36.760 --> 0:35:40.319
<v Speaker 1>your thoughts. We're gonna have to pull back. We're gonna

0:35:40.400 --> 0:35:44.520
<v Speaker 1>have to pull all the way back. It's something that, uh,

0:35:44.960 --> 0:35:48.000
<v Speaker 1>that we're not comfortable with, but that is something that

0:35:48.120 --> 0:35:52.560
<v Speaker 1>our ancestors did. I I wrote a film, co wrote

0:35:52.600 --> 0:35:55.240
<v Speaker 1>a film with the Reverend Jesse Jackson's daughter Ashley Jackson,

0:35:55.560 --> 0:35:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and it was called The Counter nineteen sixty and it

0:35:58.160 --> 0:36:00.560
<v Speaker 1>was about our youth going back in time to sit

0:36:00.640 --> 0:36:03.320
<v Speaker 1>at the lunch counter in nineteen six because our you

0:36:03.520 --> 0:36:06.840
<v Speaker 1>think they're different. I am not my ancestors. It won't

0:36:06.880 --> 0:36:09.360
<v Speaker 1>go down like that. Well you okay, you're you're in

0:36:09.440 --> 0:36:13.279
<v Speaker 1>their shoes. Now you're in their shoes right now. It

0:36:13.480 --> 0:36:15.880
<v Speaker 1>is not about your ancestors. Now you're in their shoes

0:36:16.040 --> 0:36:18.920
<v Speaker 1>right now. What are you going to do? What are

0:36:19.000 --> 0:36:22.080
<v Speaker 1>you also going to do without? Can you do without

0:36:22.160 --> 0:36:24.680
<v Speaker 1>that party? Can you do without those shoes? Can you

0:36:24.760 --> 0:36:27.840
<v Speaker 1>do without that event? Can you do without that new phone?

0:36:27.920 --> 0:36:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Can you do without the things? Can you be uncomfortable

0:36:32.480 --> 0:36:36.799
<v Speaker 1>for a month, six months a year because we can

0:36:36.920 --> 0:36:40.400
<v Speaker 1>bring them down. But we've got a galvanize and we

0:36:40.520 --> 0:36:43.719
<v Speaker 1>have got to get uncomfortable. If they've made it so comfortable,

0:36:43.760 --> 0:36:46.840
<v Speaker 1>now we're so comfortable we think that. You know, activism

0:36:47.000 --> 0:36:50.399
<v Speaker 1>is like I hit it. I like what you said.

0:36:50.440 --> 0:36:54.200
<v Speaker 1>So that was my activism. No, it's going to be

0:36:54.280 --> 0:36:57.560
<v Speaker 1>an action. It's going to be an activation. It is

0:36:57.640 --> 0:37:01.359
<v Speaker 1>going to be a stop shopping here, stop eating there,

0:37:02.080 --> 0:37:05.640
<v Speaker 1>stop using this, stop watching that. It is going to

0:37:05.719 --> 0:37:09.800
<v Speaker 1>be a blackout, and I need it. I wish we

0:37:09.880 --> 0:37:12.319
<v Speaker 1>had a call to arms, Twinky Berry where we had

0:37:12.400 --> 0:37:15.000
<v Speaker 1>somebody standing in a position of power, somebody that looked

0:37:15.040 --> 0:37:17.080
<v Speaker 1>like us and thought like us and spoke for us

0:37:17.440 --> 0:37:19.640
<v Speaker 1>because they think like us and look like us, to

0:37:19.800 --> 0:37:21.640
<v Speaker 1>make us do that. Because we've been saying that to

0:37:21.719 --> 0:37:24.399
<v Speaker 1>how much power the black dollar has, but so many

0:37:24.440 --> 0:37:27.160
<v Speaker 1>people don't take it serious. We have a lot of

0:37:27.280 --> 0:37:29.560
<v Speaker 1>power with our money. We just need to work it

0:37:29.680 --> 0:37:33.480
<v Speaker 1>to make it work for us. Done always pushes. If

0:37:33.520 --> 0:37:35.840
<v Speaker 1>the vote wasn't so important, they wouldn't be trying to

0:37:35.880 --> 0:37:38.200
<v Speaker 1>take it away from us. This is where I pushed

0:37:38.200 --> 0:37:40.080
<v Speaker 1>on my children, get your ass up. They got their

0:37:40.120 --> 0:37:41.719
<v Speaker 1>papers over there, and make them go with me when

0:37:41.760 --> 0:37:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I vote. They need to know how important it is because,

0:37:44.040 --> 0:37:47.680
<v Speaker 1>like you said, I'm paying respect to my ancestors. This

0:37:47.920 --> 0:37:49.680
<v Speaker 1>is what this is your if I'm dead and gone,

0:37:49.960 --> 0:37:51.759
<v Speaker 1>this is how you honor me. You get your ass

0:37:51.840 --> 0:37:53.680
<v Speaker 1>up and you go vote. You can go to a party,

0:37:53.760 --> 0:37:55.319
<v Speaker 1>you can run to the store, you can go hang

0:37:55.400 --> 0:37:57.400
<v Speaker 1>out with your friends. You can go vote and respect

0:37:57.440 --> 0:37:59.520
<v Speaker 1>for me as your dad because I do it, because

0:37:59.600 --> 0:38:01.239
<v Speaker 1>my grand of they used to do it. So this

0:38:01.440 --> 0:38:03.880
<v Speaker 1>is but it is all a learning process, and a

0:38:03.960 --> 0:38:07.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of people, black people and some brown people don't

0:38:07.080 --> 0:38:09.319
<v Speaker 1>teach their kids that if you need to learn at home,

0:38:09.400 --> 0:38:11.840
<v Speaker 1>just like with finances, had I known better as a

0:38:11.960 --> 0:38:14.960
<v Speaker 1>kid about how to handle money and control money, I

0:38:15.000 --> 0:38:17.759
<v Speaker 1>would be in a much better position. But nobody taught me.

0:38:17.840 --> 0:38:20.400
<v Speaker 1>I didn't learn until I got much older about the

0:38:20.560 --> 0:38:23.080
<v Speaker 1>value and what money can does and the power that

0:38:23.160 --> 0:38:25.520
<v Speaker 1>it has. We have to start getting in here when

0:38:25.560 --> 0:38:27.640
<v Speaker 1>they're young and getting in their minds and then their

0:38:27.719 --> 0:38:30.399
<v Speaker 1>spirit to teach them. We don't have a leader right

0:38:30.440 --> 0:38:33.959
<v Speaker 1>now that we look forward to. We're not a male leader,

0:38:34.200 --> 0:38:38.160
<v Speaker 1>and they just disregard the females, not because they're black,

0:38:38.520 --> 0:38:41.880
<v Speaker 1>just because they're females. This country is so damn sexist. Well,

0:38:41.920 --> 0:38:43.640
<v Speaker 1>I just feel like at this point, we're gonna have

0:38:43.760 --> 0:38:47.160
<v Speaker 1>to maybe um rethink that because if we look at

0:38:47.320 --> 0:38:50.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, history, every time we had that person that

0:38:50.520 --> 0:38:53.480
<v Speaker 1>could speak up for the community, you know, the government

0:38:53.560 --> 0:38:56.920
<v Speaker 1>made sure that they were either you know, assassinated, murdered,

0:38:57.120 --> 0:39:01.320
<v Speaker 1>or just died under mysterious circumstances. So we can't rely

0:39:01.480 --> 0:39:03.160
<v Speaker 1>on that. I feel like at this point, I don't

0:39:03.200 --> 0:39:06.800
<v Speaker 1>know if it's a rainbow coalition to get this together

0:39:07.440 --> 0:39:09.320
<v Speaker 1>or what, but I just feel like the strategy is

0:39:09.320 --> 0:39:12.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to shift because we know those paths, practices,

0:39:12.719 --> 0:39:15.279
<v Speaker 1>those people are gonna be taken out because they don't

0:39:15.320 --> 0:39:17.759
<v Speaker 1>want that. So we we're gonna have to do something

0:39:17.800 --> 0:39:20.600
<v Speaker 1>a little different if we're going to really see some

0:39:20.760 --> 0:39:23.120
<v Speaker 1>type of difference, because I really feel like that at

0:39:23.160 --> 0:39:25.560
<v Speaker 1>this point we are on a perpetual hamster wheel. I'm

0:39:25.600 --> 0:39:28.439
<v Speaker 1>seeing what my grandfather saw, I'm seeing what my great

0:39:28.480 --> 0:39:31.200
<v Speaker 1>grandmother saw. She's a hundred and two, She's lived through

0:39:31.320 --> 0:39:34.000
<v Speaker 1>every major event in this country. Damn there, you know,

0:39:34.600 --> 0:39:38.480
<v Speaker 1>so we gotta do something a little different. I agree

0:39:38.520 --> 0:39:42.640
<v Speaker 1>with Twinkie. I'm sorry, miss Twinky. I agree with that,

0:39:43.040 --> 0:39:44.960
<v Speaker 1>um that we have to get uncomfortable. I mean, we

0:39:45.040 --> 0:39:47.440
<v Speaker 1>were uncomfortable for a little while, was on quarantine, and

0:39:47.520 --> 0:39:49.560
<v Speaker 1>now we're out. We're not out of the pandemic, but

0:39:49.640 --> 0:39:51.160
<v Speaker 1>we're out of quarantine. And so it's like, no, I

0:39:51.200 --> 0:39:53.960
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be uncomfortable. Yes, we need to be uncomfortable.

0:39:54.160 --> 0:39:56.839
<v Speaker 1>We need to stop everything that you said. I come

0:39:56.880 --> 0:39:58.759
<v Speaker 1>in full agreement. I don't gotta repeat everything that you

0:39:58.880 --> 0:40:00.640
<v Speaker 1>just said, but I come in full agreement. We need

0:40:00.680 --> 0:40:03.880
<v Speaker 1>to be uncomfortable. It takes action. It does. We have

0:40:04.040 --> 0:40:07.319
<v Speaker 1>to move forward and steps backwards. We have to start

0:40:07.400 --> 0:40:10.319
<v Speaker 1>creating a list. We need to start creating a list.

0:40:10.760 --> 0:40:12.800
<v Speaker 1>We need to start pulling back. I mean in a

0:40:12.920 --> 0:40:16.560
<v Speaker 1>real way on here, actually bank at a black bank,

0:40:17.160 --> 0:40:23.440
<v Speaker 1>real talk talk, thirty six people on here, right, you know,

0:40:24.480 --> 0:40:28.000
<v Speaker 1>let me be honest. I don't, right, I do, but

0:40:28.080 --> 0:40:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I also have other banks, but I'm I need to

0:40:31.200 --> 0:40:33.840
<v Speaker 1>be it in black bank. Absolutely, You're absolutely right. So

0:40:34.080 --> 0:40:36.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean we have to be uncomfortable. Yeah, they don't

0:40:36.239 --> 0:40:39.239
<v Speaker 1>have the same you know, interest rates, but it's a

0:40:39.280 --> 0:40:41.520
<v Speaker 1>black own bank. So we're giving back, we're helping we're

0:40:41.600 --> 0:40:44.160
<v Speaker 1>lifting up, we're voting, we're gift going on jury duty,

0:40:44.239 --> 0:40:47.399
<v Speaker 1>we're taking time off going. You're like, we're moving, we're

0:40:47.480 --> 0:40:49.680
<v Speaker 1>making things happen. But we don't want to be uncomfortable.

0:40:49.800 --> 0:40:52.120
<v Speaker 1>We don't want to walk like our ancestors didn't and

0:40:52.239 --> 0:40:55.239
<v Speaker 1>boycott the buses and stop spending money and no, because

0:40:55.280 --> 0:40:56.880
<v Speaker 1>we want to finer things in life. We want to

0:40:56.920 --> 0:41:00.560
<v Speaker 1>look like we're doing as well as we're really not. Exactly,

0:41:01.040 --> 0:41:05.360
<v Speaker 1>it's the trappings. It's the trappings. It's the trappings of success.

0:41:05.560 --> 0:41:08.359
<v Speaker 1>And there's it's it's the prison. And there's a prison

0:41:08.440 --> 0:41:11.239
<v Speaker 1>of fame, the prison of fame. No one wants to

0:41:11.320 --> 0:41:14.400
<v Speaker 1>talk because they're in what a prison? They're famous, so

0:41:14.520 --> 0:41:18.520
<v Speaker 1>they don't want to Well, I mean, oh, I could say, oh, well,

0:41:18.600 --> 0:41:21.600
<v Speaker 1>now it's being filmed. That's my activism. I just said

0:41:21.640 --> 0:41:25.239
<v Speaker 1>on national television. Racism exists, it always has, it's just

0:41:25.360 --> 0:41:29.919
<v Speaker 1>now being filmed. Huh. That's all You've got to say.

0:41:31.520 --> 0:41:36.759
<v Speaker 1>You have this national internationals that's really so. You know,

0:41:36.880 --> 0:41:38.880
<v Speaker 1>you can't look to you can't look to celebrity to

0:41:38.960 --> 0:41:42.200
<v Speaker 1>be leaders leaders either. We have got to do it ourselves.

0:41:42.840 --> 0:41:47.200
<v Speaker 1>We've got to do it ourselves. It is the mirror.

0:41:47.239 --> 0:41:49.360
<v Speaker 1>That's the person you gotta please, that's the person you

0:41:49.440 --> 0:41:52.279
<v Speaker 1>gotta that's the person you gotta like. But I hate

0:41:52.320 --> 0:41:54.839
<v Speaker 1>that these so many big names celebrities would tell people

0:41:54.880 --> 0:41:57.560
<v Speaker 1>to hold their vote, and we are so easily distracted

0:41:57.600 --> 0:42:00.120
<v Speaker 1>by that. It is so it's more black millionaires now

0:42:00.200 --> 0:42:03.000
<v Speaker 1>then it has ever been. But we can't band together

0:42:03.200 --> 0:42:05.800
<v Speaker 1>because there's no unity in our community. You know, we

0:42:06.320 --> 0:42:08.759
<v Speaker 1>all the in fighting. The gaze is fighting against the blacks,

0:42:08.840 --> 0:42:10.960
<v Speaker 1>of trans is fighting against the black community, the black

0:42:11.000 --> 0:42:13.400
<v Speaker 1>community fighting against the light skin and dark skin. We

0:42:13.600 --> 0:42:15.879
<v Speaker 1>got to find a common balance where we all get

0:42:16.560 --> 0:42:19.400
<v Speaker 1>and create our own lane. But yeah, yeah, that's why

0:42:19.440 --> 0:42:21.480
<v Speaker 1>I feel like more and more, maybe it's gonna take

0:42:21.680 --> 0:42:24.719
<v Speaker 1>a rainbow coalition. Fred Hampton had the right idea. Um,

0:42:24.840 --> 0:42:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I agree, and we need to get that rainbow coalition.

0:42:27.480 --> 0:42:29.360
<v Speaker 1>That's the only way this is gonna work. And actually

0:42:29.440 --> 0:42:31.959
<v Speaker 1>having those other people show up for us for once.

0:42:32.440 --> 0:42:35.080
<v Speaker 1>We always show up for other people. People start showing

0:42:35.200 --> 0:42:37.359
<v Speaker 1>up for us at the end. I do that all

0:42:37.440 --> 0:42:39.880
<v Speaker 1>the time. Every time they asked me, I'm a member

0:42:39.960 --> 0:42:43.880
<v Speaker 1>of c S, a casting society organization. They send you

0:42:44.040 --> 0:42:46.880
<v Speaker 1>emails or we're doing this, and we're gonna march for this,

0:42:47.080 --> 0:42:49.360
<v Speaker 1>and we're gonna walk for cancer, and we're gonna do

0:42:49.680 --> 0:42:51.680
<v Speaker 1>And I said, you know what, guys, I will show

0:42:51.760 --> 0:42:53.200
<v Speaker 1>up as soon as you show up for a Black

0:42:53.239 --> 0:42:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Lives Matter, as soon as you show up for my community,

0:42:57.120 --> 0:42:59.680
<v Speaker 1>that's when. That's when I will be there. But until then,

0:42:59.719 --> 0:43:02.719
<v Speaker 1>you can stop sending me emails because if you're not

0:43:02.800 --> 0:43:04.960
<v Speaker 1>showing up for my community, I can't show up for you.

0:43:05.480 --> 0:43:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I can't. There will be nothing left to my community.

0:43:10.000 --> 0:43:12.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean, case some point, case some point. If we're

0:43:12.360 --> 0:43:15.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna talk about it too. You know, Asian hate happened

0:43:15.320 --> 0:43:18.680
<v Speaker 1>at an astronomically larger rate because of COVID. They got

0:43:18.760 --> 0:43:24.240
<v Speaker 1>legislation passed in ninety days. Just u MTEL Federal Act passed.

0:43:25.200 --> 0:43:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Just happened, happenny as after two hundred attempts that just

0:43:32.239 --> 0:43:37.200
<v Speaker 1>got passed. We're tired. We're tired that work to do,

0:43:37.920 --> 0:43:41.080
<v Speaker 1>we've got working because it's constantly in our faces, like

0:43:41.239 --> 0:43:43.719
<v Speaker 1>more than our ancestors didn't see it as much, they

0:43:43.800 --> 0:43:47.040
<v Speaker 1>experienced it. Right, Yes, not only are we experience it,

0:43:47.120 --> 0:43:49.759
<v Speaker 1>but we're seeing it over and over and over and over.

0:43:49.800 --> 0:43:52.400
<v Speaker 1>And it's like you get. I'm trying to think what

0:43:52.480 --> 0:44:02.160
<v Speaker 1>the word is um complacent? It's battle fatigue, you know

0:44:02.480 --> 0:44:04.560
<v Speaker 1>what you you You had to go back and think

0:44:04.600 --> 0:44:07.640
<v Speaker 1>about what Harriet Tubman said, but her quote supposed it

0:44:07.800 --> 0:44:10.440
<v Speaker 1>was she would have freed so many more people had

0:44:10.480 --> 0:44:12.880
<v Speaker 1>they known they were slaves. We live in the mentality

0:44:13.000 --> 0:44:15.600
<v Speaker 1>now and just what you said, Twinkie, the fame, the fame,

0:44:15.680 --> 0:44:18.520
<v Speaker 1>slavery ship. I'm prisoned to that. But that don't mean

0:44:18.560 --> 0:44:20.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't say what I want to say. But I

0:44:20.360 --> 0:44:22.319
<v Speaker 1>could have been so much further in my career if

0:44:22.360 --> 0:44:24.560
<v Speaker 1>I probably didn't say what I want to say. But

0:44:24.680 --> 0:44:26.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't think like that because my man is made up.

0:44:26.760 --> 0:44:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I have to live with me and I have to

0:44:28.480 --> 0:44:31.360
<v Speaker 1>be happy with the decisions that I make. I'm not

0:44:31.440 --> 0:44:34.200
<v Speaker 1>worried about somebody else's decisions because I got to look

0:44:34.280 --> 0:44:36.160
<v Speaker 1>me in the mirror and like that was looking back

0:44:36.200 --> 0:44:38.560
<v Speaker 1>at me. I don't want to fall privy to that.

0:44:38.800 --> 0:44:40.920
<v Speaker 1>And I'm telling you I'm ready to battle stand on

0:44:41.000 --> 0:44:43.680
<v Speaker 1>the battlefield mark all that marchin ain't doing for me,

0:44:43.920 --> 0:44:46.520
<v Speaker 1>because sitting at the lunch counter, it's real different now.

0:44:46.600 --> 0:44:48.400
<v Speaker 1>They used to release the holses on you spend your

0:44:48.440 --> 0:44:51.160
<v Speaker 1>face in billy clubs. They're pulling out a K fifties

0:44:51.200 --> 0:44:55.160
<v Speaker 1>and shooting us now and killing us and getting world

0:44:55.320 --> 0:45:01.640
<v Speaker 1>right now it is, we're still not seeing as humans,

0:45:02.200 --> 0:45:04.480
<v Speaker 1>but as soon as one of us explodes. Remember that

0:45:04.520 --> 0:45:06.320
<v Speaker 1>police officer that was here a few years ago. He

0:45:06.400 --> 0:45:08.560
<v Speaker 1>was killing the police and they couldn't find his in

0:45:08.880 --> 0:45:11.759
<v Speaker 1>He was strategic keep playing. They swear they burned him

0:45:11.800 --> 0:45:14.120
<v Speaker 1>down to the ground and turning. I don't believe they

0:45:14.160 --> 0:45:16.520
<v Speaker 1>ever caught that babe. I think he was all smart

0:45:16.560 --> 0:45:19.719
<v Speaker 1>at all the asses oh know you're talking about? This

0:45:19.800 --> 0:45:23.120
<v Speaker 1>was that was several years ago. They said they found

0:45:23.160 --> 0:45:25.719
<v Speaker 1>his teeth recause that wasn't him. That was bullshit. He

0:45:25.760 --> 0:45:27.960
<v Speaker 1>got away from them and he was killing police. And

0:45:28.000 --> 0:45:30.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm not promoting killing police. I'm not advocating that at all.

0:45:31.200 --> 0:45:32.879
<v Speaker 1>But what I'm saying is to get damn and when

0:45:33.040 --> 0:45:35.560
<v Speaker 1>is enough gonna be enough? Because one day we're gonna

0:45:35.560 --> 0:45:37.440
<v Speaker 1>have to retaliate, and then they're gonna say all the

0:45:37.440 --> 0:45:39.640
<v Speaker 1>black people are out of control. No, we just like

0:45:39.760 --> 0:45:42.680
<v Speaker 1>y'all have been saying, we're fucking tired. I'm tired. I'm

0:45:42.719 --> 0:45:47.120
<v Speaker 1>tiring the news. Are you killing people we're waiting on legislation.

0:45:47.200 --> 0:45:49.399
<v Speaker 1>We're waiting on someone to be found guilty. We're waiting

0:45:49.480 --> 0:45:52.839
<v Speaker 1>for We're waiting and waiting and waiting. We're waiting our

0:45:52.880 --> 0:45:54.880
<v Speaker 1>money to get put back into our neighbor, waiting on

0:45:55.000 --> 0:45:59.000
<v Speaker 1>the money to our education. I mean, we make a

0:45:59.120 --> 0:46:05.160
<v Speaker 1>whole show about an elementary school with teachers that do

0:46:05.320 --> 0:46:09.960
<v Speaker 1>everything they can just to teach the kids. It's a comedy,

0:46:10.880 --> 0:46:14.800
<v Speaker 1>it's brilliantly done. But the base, the base of it,

0:46:15.040 --> 0:46:17.920
<v Speaker 1>just the foundation of it is, look at what our

0:46:18.040 --> 0:46:20.080
<v Speaker 1>teachers have to do just for our kids to have

0:46:20.480 --> 0:46:26.279
<v Speaker 1>half as much m hm. And teachers are the most underpaid,

0:46:26.560 --> 0:46:29.080
<v Speaker 1>underrated people on this planet because teachers don't get what

0:46:29.160 --> 0:46:31.600
<v Speaker 1>they deserve when you send your craziest kids to school,

0:46:31.680 --> 0:46:33.400
<v Speaker 1>because some of these kids are sucked up. Let me

0:46:33.480 --> 0:46:35.719
<v Speaker 1>just say it. Oh yeah, time, ain't that around with

0:46:35.760 --> 0:46:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Little Billy? Little Billy crazy is the role. There's a

0:46:37.600 --> 0:46:40.759
<v Speaker 1>good guy, but then it really little Billy and the

0:46:40.880 --> 0:46:43.200
<v Speaker 1>right family and his uncle is a police officer on

0:46:43.239 --> 0:46:45.400
<v Speaker 1>the forest. Little Billy gat pool. So you take his

0:46:45.480 --> 0:46:47.920
<v Speaker 1>craziest and make him a police officer, give him a

0:46:47.960 --> 0:46:49.640
<v Speaker 1>badge on the gun, and release him to us in

0:46:49.719 --> 0:46:52.239
<v Speaker 1>our neighborhood. Keep his crazy. That's over there with y'all.

0:46:54.520 --> 0:46:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Amen to that. I hate that we just don't stand

0:46:58.840 --> 0:47:02.120
<v Speaker 1>with each other. We might we talk about for each other,

0:47:02.360 --> 0:47:04.400
<v Speaker 1>but when it comes down to it, we don't stand

0:47:04.440 --> 0:47:07.520
<v Speaker 1>with each other. I am a loyal person, like to

0:47:07.640 --> 0:47:09.600
<v Speaker 1>a point where I have lost jobs because of my

0:47:09.719 --> 0:47:13.560
<v Speaker 1>loyalty and don't care because I still have to face

0:47:13.640 --> 0:47:15.960
<v Speaker 1>who I am. So many people are afraid to face

0:47:16.040 --> 0:47:18.960
<v Speaker 1>who they are. I got some uncomfortable shit about me,

0:47:19.160 --> 0:47:21.640
<v Speaker 1>and I love what you said, Twinkie. We have to

0:47:21.719 --> 0:47:25.440
<v Speaker 1>be comfortable being uncomfortable. Ship got to go left for

0:47:25.600 --> 0:47:27.560
<v Speaker 1>real and you'll be like, you know what, we can

0:47:27.640 --> 0:47:29.840
<v Speaker 1>push through this. We don't have the same DNA to

0:47:29.920 --> 0:47:33.080
<v Speaker 1>that ancestor said they had strength. We don't even have courage.

0:47:33.280 --> 0:47:38.120
<v Speaker 1>We don't everybody. No, I agree with that because nowadays

0:47:38.440 --> 0:47:41.480
<v Speaker 1>and I am a millennial, I am, but to go

0:47:41.680 --> 0:47:45.000
<v Speaker 1>through what my ancestors went through, I can't even say

0:47:45.040 --> 0:47:49.719
<v Speaker 1>confidently like yes I can do that. I can't. Yeah

0:47:49.760 --> 0:47:55.000
<v Speaker 1>you can't. You can, you can and you will because

0:47:55.040 --> 0:47:58.200
<v Speaker 1>you have no choice, just like they did. They could.

0:47:58.320 --> 0:48:01.120
<v Speaker 1>They did it not because they with any different than us,

0:48:01.200 --> 0:48:04.960
<v Speaker 1>because they wanted better for us. That strength came from inside,

0:48:05.760 --> 0:48:08.759
<v Speaker 1>and we disrespect them by saying we are not our ancestors.

0:48:09.040 --> 0:48:11.759
<v Speaker 1>Damn right, you're not. You're not ready to get uncomfortable

0:48:11.840 --> 0:48:14.960
<v Speaker 1>right now. That's how you're not your ancestors. Not the

0:48:15.040 --> 0:48:18.280
<v Speaker 1>other way around. Not the I'm gonna throw hands You're

0:48:18.320 --> 0:48:20.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna throw hands at the a case? What is it

0:48:21.320 --> 0:48:24.440
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna throw hands at that kind of gun? You're

0:48:24.480 --> 0:48:27.600
<v Speaker 1>throwing hands on me? Nothing you got. We have got

0:48:27.760 --> 0:48:31.160
<v Speaker 1>to find that strength deep inside of us, and sometimes

0:48:31.239 --> 0:48:36.960
<v Speaker 1>that strength is absolute silence, absolute complete pulled back. I

0:48:37.120 --> 0:48:42.120
<v Speaker 1>have disappeared. He was strategic and his planning. So we

0:48:42.200 --> 0:48:47.120
<v Speaker 1>need to be strategic and our and strategic and our responses,

0:48:47.239 --> 0:48:49.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, not just fly by the night. But we

0:48:49.160 --> 0:48:53.719
<v Speaker 1>really got to be strategic because playing games, we need

0:48:53.760 --> 0:48:57.000
<v Speaker 1>to quit playing games. Yea, twinky, I really love what

0:48:57.120 --> 0:48:59.640
<v Speaker 1>you just said, honestly, because just me as a person,

0:48:59.760 --> 0:49:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I do have my best epiphanies and thoughts when I

0:49:02.680 --> 0:49:05.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of pulled back and I'm just silent, and in

0:49:05.280 --> 0:49:07.279
<v Speaker 1>my own company, I probably enjoy my own company a

0:49:07.320 --> 0:49:10.719
<v Speaker 1>little too much, let Flames tell it. But maybe that

0:49:10.920 --> 0:49:14.040
<v Speaker 1>is what needs to happen. You know, we just really

0:49:14.120 --> 0:49:17.680
<v Speaker 1>need those moments of silence and solitude just to help

0:49:17.840 --> 0:49:21.600
<v Speaker 1>us kind of rejuvenate and you know, get those creative

0:49:21.640 --> 0:49:24.640
<v Speaker 1>juices falling maybe and some of these some of these,

0:49:25.239 --> 0:49:29.359
<v Speaker 1>some of these times when we're together, some of these

0:49:29.440 --> 0:49:32.320
<v Speaker 1>times like what was happening this weekend? The laugh and

0:49:32.400 --> 0:49:36.720
<v Speaker 1>love to the something? What was that? And and friends,

0:49:37.960 --> 0:49:42.239
<v Speaker 1>where we gathered together. We need to gather together. But

0:49:42.360 --> 0:49:44.120
<v Speaker 1>that was a whole mess too. Did you hear about that?

0:49:45.080 --> 0:49:49.359
<v Speaker 1>The backfiring of the of the golf cart. Oh there

0:49:49.480 --> 0:49:53.160
<v Speaker 1>was a shooting scare. There wasn't water, the backfiring of

0:49:53.239 --> 0:49:57.600
<v Speaker 1>the golf cart. Yeah, yes, I did hear about that.

0:49:58.040 --> 0:50:01.440
<v Speaker 1>But when we're together in large in groups, we need

0:50:01.520 --> 0:50:05.120
<v Speaker 1>to have start having some real conversations or start you know,

0:50:05.480 --> 0:50:08.880
<v Speaker 1>the old paperway. You don't necessarily have to send everything

0:50:09.040 --> 0:50:12.560
<v Speaker 1>via text message, the paperway of where we're gonna meet,

0:50:12.680 --> 0:50:14.520
<v Speaker 1>who we're gonna talk to, how are we gonna talk,

0:50:14.640 --> 0:50:17.040
<v Speaker 1>what the what the topic is? What are we what

0:50:17.160 --> 0:50:22.919
<v Speaker 1>are we going to do? Because we need to gather together. Yeah,

0:50:23.520 --> 0:50:26.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm heartbroken because I'm so afraid and I know who

0:50:26.640 --> 0:50:29.120
<v Speaker 1>I am as a black person, not not even just

0:50:29.239 --> 0:50:31.520
<v Speaker 1>as a black person, but as a person, I know

0:50:31.680 --> 0:50:34.320
<v Speaker 1>who I am, I know my DNA and I'm telling

0:50:34.400 --> 0:50:37.800
<v Speaker 1>you my biggest fear is me being put in a

0:50:38.440 --> 0:50:41.480
<v Speaker 1>terrible situation with a police officer or with an open

0:50:41.600 --> 0:50:44.279
<v Speaker 1>races and I think that you're gonna hurt me. I

0:50:44.360 --> 0:50:48.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I don't know it is. I don't know what,

0:50:48.920 --> 0:50:51.799
<v Speaker 1>and I'm admitting this publicly. I don't know another way,

0:50:51.960 --> 0:50:53.839
<v Speaker 1>but the way that I know I'm gonna come out

0:50:53.880 --> 0:50:56.359
<v Speaker 1>of Lie, the way that I know I'm gonna come

0:50:56.360 --> 0:51:01.120
<v Speaker 1>out of Lie. Hmm. It is very, very scary when

0:51:01.160 --> 0:51:05.800
<v Speaker 1>you're being policed. Our neighborhoods are policed and militarized. It

0:51:05.960 --> 0:51:09.239
<v Speaker 1>is when you're afraid of being pulled over and you're

0:51:09.360 --> 0:51:12.040
<v Speaker 1>driving so slow and you don't know what you can't.

0:51:12.400 --> 0:51:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Should I go the speed limits? Should I go slower?

0:51:14.520 --> 0:51:16.320
<v Speaker 1>If I'm going slower, I get pulled over if I

0:51:16.360 --> 0:51:18.040
<v Speaker 1>go to speed limit. I do I have an air

0:51:18.160 --> 0:51:20.040
<v Speaker 1>freshener in my cars. This is a place where air

0:51:20.120 --> 0:51:23.759
<v Speaker 1>fresheners are not allowed. Like a litany, it is a

0:51:24.239 --> 0:51:29.560
<v Speaker 1>litany of just out of this world. And we need

0:51:29.640 --> 0:51:31.640
<v Speaker 1>a meeting. We need to sit down, We need to

0:51:31.719 --> 0:51:35.279
<v Speaker 1>get to gather our lists and come together because this

0:51:35.400 --> 0:51:38.480
<v Speaker 1>has got to it's got to stop. It's our elderly.

0:51:38.560 --> 0:51:42.839
<v Speaker 1>They're taking out our elderly and they are our foundation. Yeah,

0:51:45.040 --> 0:51:48.000
<v Speaker 1>it's so tragic that one one lady was killed yesterday.

0:51:48.000 --> 0:51:50.520
<v Speaker 1>I think she was in her eighties and her husband.

0:51:50.520 --> 0:51:52.239
<v Speaker 1>They won't even tell her husband. They have been married

0:51:52.280 --> 0:51:54.480
<v Speaker 1>for like sixty eight years. They won't even tell the husband.

0:51:54.800 --> 0:51:58.160
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean because he didn't die. She died

0:51:58.880 --> 0:52:00.960
<v Speaker 1>and they've been married for like six years. Girl. You

0:52:01.000 --> 0:52:03.279
<v Speaker 1>know when people have been married a long time, when

0:52:03.400 --> 0:52:06.760
<v Speaker 1>usually when you tell the other partner that they usually

0:52:06.800 --> 0:52:10.240
<v Speaker 1>they died. Because that was so much more than his wife.

0:52:10.640 --> 0:52:12.759
<v Speaker 1>That was so much more than just his wife. Yeah,

0:52:14.320 --> 0:52:16.880
<v Speaker 1>and this coward bastard went to where all these older

0:52:16.920 --> 0:52:19.080
<v Speaker 1>people were. He didn't go to no Compton. He ain't

0:52:19.120 --> 0:52:20.719
<v Speaker 1>went to once. Then they didn't go to the west

0:52:20.760 --> 0:52:23.640
<v Speaker 1>side of south As. That's what I'm talking. That's the

0:52:23.719 --> 0:52:26.839
<v Speaker 1>coward ship right there. Yeah, he talk people that really

0:52:26.880 --> 0:52:28.839
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a chance to be honest with you. They

0:52:28.880 --> 0:52:32.000
<v Speaker 1>had no camp. You know. He just went in. And

0:52:33.040 --> 0:52:35.480
<v Speaker 1>something needs to happen. Someone needs to come for his

0:52:35.719 --> 0:52:39.960
<v Speaker 1>too much him. Something needs to happen and and and

0:52:40.320 --> 0:52:44.440
<v Speaker 1>all of these hardcore black doug not the rappers, but

0:52:44.520 --> 0:52:47.719
<v Speaker 1>all these gangsters and where y'all let when y'all, I'm

0:52:47.800 --> 0:52:51.400
<v Speaker 1>like you twink Black Panther Party did wonderful things. They

0:52:51.480 --> 0:52:55.400
<v Speaker 1>helped women, they helped care, they provided services with lunch

0:52:55.440 --> 0:52:57.680
<v Speaker 1>and free lunch and all. They stay programmed. And they

0:52:58.560 --> 0:53:01.400
<v Speaker 1>hate when we do well, so they should disappear. They

0:53:01.520 --> 0:53:03.719
<v Speaker 1>hate when we own, when we stand on our own

0:53:03.800 --> 0:53:05.719
<v Speaker 1>and being in a group. And I wish that as

0:53:05.760 --> 0:53:09.000
<v Speaker 1>a black people, as a black world, we would see

0:53:09.360 --> 0:53:11.960
<v Speaker 1>how much power we have when we are fist as

0:53:12.040 --> 0:53:14.640
<v Speaker 1>opposed to being just fingers. Yeah. Well, I'm missa say.

0:53:14.640 --> 0:53:17.480
<v Speaker 1>The other side to that too, though, is and I'm

0:53:17.520 --> 0:53:19.520
<v Speaker 1>not going to mention any cases that are happening right

0:53:19.560 --> 0:53:22.120
<v Speaker 1>now because it's not my b'na stay out of I'm

0:53:22.120 --> 0:53:25.359
<v Speaker 1>said of that. But there are situations where there are

0:53:25.520 --> 0:53:28.839
<v Speaker 1>some of these rappers and you know, young black men

0:53:28.960 --> 0:53:31.759
<v Speaker 1>that are doing good for their community, but you know,

0:53:32.200 --> 0:53:35.960
<v Speaker 1>have reco charges being brought against them for criminal activity.

0:53:36.120 --> 0:53:38.960
<v Speaker 1>And that's also been the history of this country. You

0:53:39.040 --> 0:53:41.480
<v Speaker 1>go after the people that are doing good in your community,

0:53:41.560 --> 0:53:44.720
<v Speaker 1>whereas you have the real mobsters, and you know, because

0:53:44.760 --> 0:53:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Trump's organization, I don't understand what that's not considered in

0:53:47.120 --> 0:53:52.080
<v Speaker 1>my organization. What's happening with them. He's still not in jail.

0:53:52.320 --> 0:53:56.840
<v Speaker 1>They're still investigating January six. Still, if that's the reco

0:53:57.640 --> 0:53:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what else would be a regal other

0:53:59.120 --> 0:54:02.200
<v Speaker 1>than that. Explain to me what a rico is. Please,

0:54:02.400 --> 0:54:05.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm ignorant in that area. Child. Hold on, let me go,

0:54:05.360 --> 0:54:10.960
<v Speaker 1>let me go Google. Yes, it is, it's racketeering. Hold on,

0:54:11.040 --> 0:54:15.680
<v Speaker 1>let me get the official. Hold on one second. I

0:54:15.680 --> 0:54:17.759
<v Speaker 1>don't know when I put Trump asked in jail yet,

0:54:17.880 --> 0:54:20.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm not understanding how y'all thought that Elon must funny

0:54:20.640 --> 0:54:22.839
<v Speaker 1>looking ass was about to back Twitter for forty four

0:54:22.960 --> 0:54:25.600
<v Speaker 1>billion dollars which he did not have in cash, which

0:54:25.880 --> 0:54:28.520
<v Speaker 1>he just opened up a canna where a plethora bullshit

0:54:28.719 --> 0:54:30.719
<v Speaker 1>because he's trying to get him and Marjorie Tayler Green

0:54:30.800 --> 0:54:32.600
<v Speaker 1>back on there for the division in his country, for

0:54:32.640 --> 0:54:35.160
<v Speaker 1>the election that's coming up. It was all a smoke screen.

0:54:35.239 --> 0:54:37.799
<v Speaker 1>I said when he first said he always and he said, oh,

0:54:37.840 --> 0:54:39.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm not trying to put anybody back on Twitter. I

0:54:39.680 --> 0:54:41.239
<v Speaker 1>knew what it was when he went down with his

0:54:41.320 --> 0:54:45.040
<v Speaker 1>funny looking ass. I said it. So here's official definition.

0:54:45.160 --> 0:54:49.000
<v Speaker 1>So RICO stands for a racketeer, influenced and corrupt organization.

0:54:49.480 --> 0:54:52.360
<v Speaker 1>The official definition it is a crime for any person,

0:54:52.560 --> 0:54:56.680
<v Speaker 1>through a pattern of racketeering activity, to acquire or maintain

0:54:57.120 --> 0:55:01.360
<v Speaker 1>any interest in or control of any type of property

0:55:01.600 --> 0:55:08.080
<v Speaker 1>or business under the law. I think that describes Trump's family, right.

0:55:10.320 --> 0:55:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Listen to the lord cutting up, twinking lord is reading

0:55:12.880 --> 0:55:16.560
<v Speaker 1>over here. I love it. I'm just saying that that's

0:55:16.600 --> 0:55:19.640
<v Speaker 1>the prime definition for what we see with these certain

0:55:20.000 --> 0:55:25.400
<v Speaker 1>high fluting white I'll even go Italian families. We see that.

0:55:26.680 --> 0:55:29.600
<v Speaker 1>But it's not them that the government's going after. It's us.

0:55:31.760 --> 0:55:34.920
<v Speaker 1>We're the target. We're the target. So at the end

0:55:34.960 --> 0:55:39.799
<v Speaker 1>of the day, one are again, one one again. Self

0:55:39.880 --> 0:55:42.600
<v Speaker 1>preservation is the first law of nature. I'm not telling

0:55:42.680 --> 0:55:44.960
<v Speaker 1>nobody to do anything, but I'm telling you, if you

0:55:45.080 --> 0:55:48.200
<v Speaker 1>own in their plane, they tell you strap yourself in first,

0:55:48.400 --> 0:55:50.719
<v Speaker 1>before you strap in the person next to you. Take

0:55:50.800 --> 0:55:53.640
<v Speaker 1>care of yourself and whatever that means to you, Because

0:55:53.680 --> 0:55:55.759
<v Speaker 1>I know what it means to me. Take care of

0:55:55.880 --> 0:55:58.480
<v Speaker 1>yourself when you're going into these stories. Because they keep

0:55:58.520 --> 0:56:00.719
<v Speaker 1>saying what we gotta gonna say, basis, what is the

0:56:00.800 --> 0:56:05.400
<v Speaker 1>safe space. The young man in Texas was in his

0:56:05.560 --> 0:56:09.480
<v Speaker 1>own house, Uh philandral Castro. They said, they won't shoot

0:56:09.480 --> 0:56:10.920
<v Speaker 1>you in front of your wife and kids. Tell that

0:56:11.000 --> 0:56:14.960
<v Speaker 1>to Castro's mistress, because he did. They shot him in

0:56:15.000 --> 0:56:16.880
<v Speaker 1>front of his baby and in front of his woman.

0:56:17.280 --> 0:56:20.400
<v Speaker 1>That's bullshit. Sometimes we're gonna have to take that the

0:56:20.480 --> 0:56:22.600
<v Speaker 1>low road for all the harrowd. We're gonna have to

0:56:22.640 --> 0:56:24.759
<v Speaker 1>take the low road and meet them where they're at.

0:56:25.280 --> 0:56:29.279
<v Speaker 1>We're not going with Michelle. You know my my joke

0:56:29.320 --> 0:56:32.520
<v Speaker 1>on stages get back, you know what sucked. But we're

0:56:32.560 --> 0:56:38.399
<v Speaker 1>gonna say that. We got to if we don't show

0:56:38.480 --> 0:56:40.839
<v Speaker 1>them that we are not afraid, because that's what they think.

0:56:40.880 --> 0:56:43.280
<v Speaker 1>They think we're afraid. They think we have no courage,

0:56:43.440 --> 0:56:45.840
<v Speaker 1>because they think we're not gonna stand together, which is

0:56:45.920 --> 0:56:49.040
<v Speaker 1>what detected that they have used for four hundred years.

0:56:49.320 --> 0:56:52.399
<v Speaker 1>Divide them, take separate their children, tell them that they're

0:56:52.400 --> 0:56:55.960
<v Speaker 1>black men are no good, discredit their black women together

0:56:56.160 --> 0:57:00.000
<v Speaker 1>as a fist with monsters. But as fingers were useless,

0:57:00.480 --> 0:57:03.320
<v Speaker 1>and we keep being fingers, we get to get together.

0:57:04.200 --> 0:57:06.640
<v Speaker 1>We gotta quit doing this though. We gotta quit talking

0:57:06.680 --> 0:57:09.480
<v Speaker 1>about it and be about it. Many people are whooping

0:57:09.560 --> 0:57:11.839
<v Speaker 1>and not got no action like our ancests because they

0:57:11.920 --> 0:57:14.480
<v Speaker 1>put action, they spoke, and then they put work in.

0:57:15.040 --> 0:57:17.880
<v Speaker 1>So we just people put spilling and let's get busy,

0:57:18.000 --> 0:57:20.200
<v Speaker 1>let's get let's get to working. But I think that's

0:57:20.240 --> 0:57:22.840
<v Speaker 1>the issue to Cassie, is that we're in such a scramble.

0:57:22.920 --> 0:57:24.680
<v Speaker 1>It's almost like we don't even know where to start.

0:57:25.240 --> 0:57:27.720
<v Speaker 1>And that's the sad part is where is the starting

0:57:27.800 --> 0:57:30.280
<v Speaker 1>point that we can come together? And I just don't

0:57:30.320 --> 0:57:34.280
<v Speaker 1>think that collectively we can establish that. And that's why

0:57:34.360 --> 0:57:37.720
<v Speaker 1>it was a great point being like chaos. That's what

0:57:37.800 --> 0:57:42.440
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be. So I ain't go ahead to give

0:57:42.480 --> 0:57:44.640
<v Speaker 1>me a great act, think give me a great TV show.

0:57:44.640 --> 0:57:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm about muscle up my money and I'm taking my kids.

0:57:47.000 --> 0:57:49.040
<v Speaker 1>We're going to Germany or somewhere. I'm going somewhere else

0:57:49.080 --> 0:57:51.520
<v Speaker 1>where they like black people ship. I'm tired twinking. You

0:57:51.560 --> 0:57:56.880
<v Speaker 1>saw that shameless plug, right oh, I didn't even think

0:57:56.920 --> 0:58:01.960
<v Speaker 1>about that. That feel like that. That's Lauren Man, that's

0:58:01.960 --> 0:58:07.840
<v Speaker 1>that business manager man that I heard it. I heard it.

0:58:08.320 --> 0:58:12.439
<v Speaker 1>I heard it is a casting director. But I didn't

0:58:12.480 --> 0:58:14.120
<v Speaker 1>even think about that. Right now, I was just saying,

0:58:14.120 --> 0:58:15.520
<v Speaker 1>because I've been saying I would get the hell out

0:58:15.520 --> 0:58:17.680
<v Speaker 1>of here. Lauren did that? You see she trying to

0:58:17.720 --> 0:58:25.280
<v Speaker 1>get you, got to make her money. I'm going as

0:58:25.320 --> 0:58:27.800
<v Speaker 1>a black man in this country because you know, I'm

0:58:27.920 --> 0:58:30.520
<v Speaker 1>very comfortable with my sexuality and who the funk I am?

0:58:30.720 --> 0:58:33.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't care who's watching in this and black women

0:58:33.880 --> 0:58:36.480
<v Speaker 1>are the saving grace for us as a black people

0:58:36.640 --> 0:58:38.680
<v Speaker 1>right now and have been for such a long time.

0:58:38.760 --> 0:58:41.680
<v Speaker 1>If we started giving honor to that and started respecting

0:58:41.840 --> 0:58:44.000
<v Speaker 1>black women for the power that they hold and have

0:58:44.560 --> 0:58:46.840
<v Speaker 1>and the way that they can segue into spaces that

0:58:46.920 --> 0:58:49.000
<v Speaker 1>black men cannot seem to be able to get into,

0:58:49.440 --> 0:58:52.680
<v Speaker 1>I promise you as a people, we would thrive. We

0:58:52.880 --> 0:58:55.160
<v Speaker 1>got some great black women out here that speak for us,

0:58:55.600 --> 0:58:59.040
<v Speaker 1>for us and for us, but y'all don't respect or acknowledges.

0:58:59.080 --> 0:59:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Black women are always looking for help from a black man.

0:59:02.320 --> 0:59:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Black men will turn on you, not all of them,

0:59:04.440 --> 0:59:06.560
<v Speaker 1>because Tim Scott is a black man. Tim Scott ain't

0:59:06.560 --> 0:59:09.000
<v Speaker 1>for us, But Staycy Arams is a black woman, and

0:59:09.080 --> 0:59:12.120
<v Speaker 1>she's not only for us. She's a groundbreaking woman that's

0:59:12.200 --> 0:59:17.040
<v Speaker 1>for us. But because she don't fit into this mold,

0:59:17.080 --> 0:59:19.240
<v Speaker 1>which I'll think she should look like. She don't need

0:59:19.360 --> 0:59:22.280
<v Speaker 1>to look Listen to her. Man here the content that

0:59:22.360 --> 0:59:24.800
<v Speaker 1>comes out of her heart. That's what you need to hear.

0:59:26.080 --> 0:59:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Stop looking for these pretty six bitches that can't tell

0:59:29.840 --> 0:59:31.800
<v Speaker 1>you nothing but what shoes the right shoes the back

0:59:33.200 --> 0:59:36.280
<v Speaker 1>m hm. I don't need you to look like what

0:59:36.400 --> 0:59:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I need you to look. I need you to teach

0:59:38.160 --> 0:59:40.480
<v Speaker 1>me and help me and show me so I can

0:59:40.560 --> 0:59:43.440
<v Speaker 1>do do better for myself and my children and my grandchild.

0:59:43.680 --> 0:59:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Staycy Avams is the money ticket for us. And I'm

0:59:46.080 --> 0:59:47.880
<v Speaker 1>telling you all right now, y'all need to respect that

0:59:47.960 --> 0:59:51.360
<v Speaker 1>woman when Georgia goes to vote, because y'all better show

0:59:51.440 --> 0:59:53.440
<v Speaker 1>up like they're given away some free butter and cheese

0:59:53.480 --> 0:59:56.360
<v Speaker 1>and a ship. My thing is I just wish I

0:59:56.440 --> 0:59:59.520
<v Speaker 1>want people to care about us. You know, nobody's talking

0:59:59.560 --> 1:00:03.120
<v Speaker 1>about nine thousand you know black women and young children

1:00:03.200 --> 1:00:09.120
<v Speaker 1>that were missing, Black women and young females that we're

1:00:09.160 --> 1:00:11.920
<v Speaker 1>missing at the end of one. Nobody's talking about that,

1:00:13.120 --> 1:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>and nobody cares. I need people to care. I care.

1:00:16.840 --> 1:00:20.360
<v Speaker 1>That's why I'm I'm team I'm team pro life, I'm

1:00:20.520 --> 1:00:26.520
<v Speaker 1>team uh IF, pro choice, I am pro life too.

1:00:26.600 --> 1:00:28.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean when I say pro life, I would like

1:00:28.480 --> 1:00:30.240
<v Speaker 1>for people to have their kids and raise it. But

1:00:30.320 --> 1:00:31.840
<v Speaker 1>if you feel like you can and you're in a

1:00:31.920 --> 1:00:33.920
<v Speaker 1>situation you don't want to do it, I'm all for

1:00:34.160 --> 1:00:37.120
<v Speaker 1>that's your body, your body, your choice. Because once they

1:00:37.160 --> 1:00:39.520
<v Speaker 1>tell women what they can't do trans women, they're gonna

1:00:39.520 --> 1:00:42.360
<v Speaker 1>start telling us you can't wear weeks, you can't wear makeup.

1:00:42.400 --> 1:00:44.840
<v Speaker 1>In the sixties, you had to have on three articles

1:00:44.880 --> 1:00:47.120
<v Speaker 1>of male clothing or they put you in jail because

1:00:47.160 --> 1:00:49.440
<v Speaker 1>they were a transvestite. If you did not have on

1:00:49.520 --> 1:00:51.960
<v Speaker 1>three articles of male clothing, we wearing makeup and weeks

1:00:52.000 --> 1:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>and they put you in jail. We're going back to basics.

1:00:55.880 --> 1:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Trans women need to stay with biological women and all

1:00:58.600 --> 1:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>people need to stay with this a boy right, because

1:01:00.840 --> 1:01:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you it will open up a plethora of bullshit.

1:01:03.480 --> 1:01:05.400
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna take away this one. They're gonna go back

1:01:05.440 --> 1:01:12.400
<v Speaker 1>to Jim Crow's segregation gay. It is the gateway, Yeah, agreed,

1:01:13.040 --> 1:01:14.919
<v Speaker 1>it is. It is the gateway. And you're right about

1:01:14.960 --> 1:01:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Stacy Abrams, and it is not about a look. I

1:01:18.760 --> 1:01:23.520
<v Speaker 1>believe she's beautiful. She's a beautiful woman and her and

1:01:23.680 --> 1:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>it's beautiful. Her body is beautiful, she is strong, she

1:01:27.120 --> 1:01:31.320
<v Speaker 1>is awesome, she's she's amazing, and we have many many

1:01:31.400 --> 1:01:34.400
<v Speaker 1>others and we do need to because behind that civil

1:01:34.520 --> 1:01:36.920
<v Speaker 1>rights movement, behind the movement that I love so much,

1:01:37.240 --> 1:01:46.560
<v Speaker 1>all women including Bear Arrusted, Oh yeah, yes, that women die.

1:01:47.600 --> 1:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Diane was behind that, snick Diane Nash was. They were amazing,

1:01:52.600 --> 1:01:55.560
<v Speaker 1>amazing women at the forefront and behind the scenes who

1:01:55.600 --> 1:01:58.120
<v Speaker 1>were doing all of the work, all of the brain storming,

1:01:58.200 --> 1:02:01.480
<v Speaker 1>all of the planning, all of the gathering, all of everything.

1:02:02.160 --> 1:02:04.520
<v Speaker 1>And we can do it again. We can. We can

1:02:04.720 --> 1:02:07.240
<v Speaker 1>learn from them. Some of them are still here with us,

1:02:07.560 --> 1:02:08.960
<v Speaker 1>and we need to sit at the feet of the

1:02:09.040 --> 1:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>elders and and get those pearls. That's what we need

1:02:12.040 --> 1:02:15.400
<v Speaker 1>to be doing. Go back and get it saying kofa

1:02:15.600 --> 1:02:20.000
<v Speaker 1>go back and get it back. That's my favorite way

1:02:20.080 --> 1:02:22.600
<v Speaker 1>to learn. It always has been. It ain't been in

1:02:22.640 --> 1:02:24.800
<v Speaker 1>a textbook, it ain't been on no TV show, it

1:02:24.840 --> 1:02:26.880
<v Speaker 1>ain't been on no Google. But sitting and listen to

1:02:27.000 --> 1:02:29.160
<v Speaker 1>my grandmother's and my aunties around the table and a

1:02:29.200 --> 1:02:31.520
<v Speaker 1>bunch of old women and even older me and my

1:02:31.640 --> 1:02:34.760
<v Speaker 1>uncle's when they were to that was always my learning mechanism,

1:02:34.880 --> 1:02:38.080
<v Speaker 1>cause those life lessons that they teach you the value

1:02:38.200 --> 1:02:40.959
<v Speaker 1>in that you came back nowhere and you can't read

1:02:41.080 --> 1:02:47.520
<v Speaker 1>no book. Oh god, the experience of what they would

1:02:47.520 --> 1:02:49.600
<v Speaker 1>tell you, and if you took the time to be

1:02:49.760 --> 1:02:52.440
<v Speaker 1>that sponge and suck that ship up, you would come

1:02:52.480 --> 1:02:55.480
<v Speaker 1>out of that room ten times smarter than anybody they

1:02:55.560 --> 1:02:57.600
<v Speaker 1>got any degree from any Ivy League school that you

1:02:57.680 --> 1:03:00.240
<v Speaker 1>thought you wanted to go to, because they don't be

1:03:00.360 --> 1:03:04.200
<v Speaker 1>still having now. I might not be, but I damn

1:03:04.240 --> 1:03:05.720
<v Speaker 1>show showed you how to get to the other side

1:03:05.760 --> 1:03:08.360
<v Speaker 1>of the street. I was gonna say, you didn't open

1:03:08.440 --> 1:03:10.720
<v Speaker 1>up another door because a lot of these you know,

1:03:11.560 --> 1:03:15.960
<v Speaker 1>white parents are realizing that education at historically black college

1:03:16.040 --> 1:03:17.280
<v Speaker 1>is the same thing that you get at these Ivy

1:03:17.360 --> 1:03:20.440
<v Speaker 1>League schools. That's a whole another conversation though, because you know,

1:03:20.520 --> 1:03:27.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm a spelling graduate, so anyway, it's not But I

1:03:27.720 --> 1:03:34.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't have the right sexual equipment. No, I'm very proud

1:03:34.800 --> 1:03:36.240
<v Speaker 1>of her, and I love that she puts you to

1:03:36.440 --> 1:03:39.080
<v Speaker 1>HB and she's so proud of her, and I want

1:03:39.320 --> 1:03:42.640
<v Speaker 1>somebody on my team that could be opposite for me. Huh.

1:03:43.400 --> 1:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>It's an amazing, amazing place. And that's why we should

1:03:46.720 --> 1:03:49.520
<v Speaker 1>be we should attend. That is why those of us

1:03:49.560 --> 1:03:52.439
<v Speaker 1>that have elders need to go because I keep hearing

1:03:52.480 --> 1:03:54.920
<v Speaker 1>young people say, well, nobody taught me this, well, nobody

1:03:54.960 --> 1:03:56.600
<v Speaker 1>said that to me. Well I didn't know about this,

1:03:56.720 --> 1:04:02.000
<v Speaker 1>well I didn't know about Gather them, right, Gather them.

1:04:02.520 --> 1:04:05.280
<v Speaker 1>They're waiting for you to ask them. Yep. They're not

1:04:05.400 --> 1:04:08.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to push their way into your life because y'all

1:04:08.080 --> 1:04:10.160
<v Speaker 1>keep saying, I don't need to, I don't need I

1:04:10.280 --> 1:04:12.280
<v Speaker 1>got this, I know what I'm doing, I'm here, I'm

1:04:12.560 --> 1:04:16.200
<v Speaker 1>I got it, Okay, but now you need to know

1:04:17.120 --> 1:04:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Gather them, Miss Twinkie. I think that would be a

1:04:19.800 --> 1:04:22.920
<v Speaker 1>great organization for you to start a website called Gathering

1:04:23.040 --> 1:04:25.200
<v Speaker 1>where you can bring people in It's called gathering and

1:04:25.280 --> 1:04:28.360
<v Speaker 1>they can talk about that. That girl just saying it,

1:04:28.560 --> 1:04:35.800
<v Speaker 1>I say it, and your hat like it's a bang girl, girl,

1:04:35.840 --> 1:04:42.000
<v Speaker 1>that ain't. This is my band, it's my bank. I

1:04:42.160 --> 1:04:45.160

1:04:45.240 --> 1:04:49.800
<v Speaker 1>for being a sister. I love it. That would be

1:04:49.920 --> 1:04:53.240
<v Speaker 1>a great That would be a great push. Gather them

1:04:53.320 --> 1:04:56.760
<v Speaker 1>because it made me think about the movie. But love

1:04:56.800 --> 1:04:59.120
<v Speaker 1>it when the old lady and Jorney was be somebody.

1:04:59.200 --> 1:05:01.160
<v Speaker 1>She's an actress and she was in the woods and

1:05:01.240 --> 1:05:03.160
<v Speaker 1>she gathered all the black people to tell them what

1:05:03.240 --> 1:05:07.160
<v Speaker 1>would happened that that that would be it. That's good,

1:05:07.280 --> 1:05:09.560
<v Speaker 1>you know. I like that though, because it's an action.

1:05:10.360 --> 1:05:14.520
<v Speaker 1>It's an action. Yeah. Wow, y'all have made you said,

1:05:14.560 --> 1:05:16.800

1:05:21.000 --> 1:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for teaching me. And what RICO I did

<v Speaker 1>not know. I've seen it. I saw the acronym around,

1:05:25.760 --> 1:05:28.840
<v Speaker 1>but I was not aware of what it actually meant.

1:05:28.880 --> 1:05:31.840
<v Speaker 1>So thank you for teaching me. And it's interesting too

1:05:32.160 --> 1:05:36.160
<v Speaker 1>to see how the government uses those certain um i'll

1:05:36.200 --> 1:05:40.280
<v Speaker 1>call them laws to uh further, just to press our community.

1:05:40.480 --> 1:05:44.760
<v Speaker 1>It's very interesting, just the tactics involved. So yeah, this

1:05:44.880 --> 1:05:47.680
<v Speaker 1>has been a good one. I think I'm the oldest

1:05:47.760 --> 1:05:50.320
<v Speaker 1>person on his lab right now. No, and I'm not

1:05:50.400 --> 1:05:52.440
<v Speaker 1>saying that to be funny. I'm saying that in my

1:05:52.600 --> 1:05:55.280
<v Speaker 1>lifetime I would like to see not just the one

1:05:55.360 --> 1:05:57.760
<v Speaker 1>person like Dr King or Malcolm X to come and

1:05:57.840 --> 1:06:00.920
<v Speaker 1>be the voice for us, to gather us up, to

1:06:01.040 --> 1:06:03.200
<v Speaker 1>get us going in the right direction. But I'd like

1:06:03.360 --> 1:06:07.160
<v Speaker 1>to see a collage of black leaders. I'd like to

1:06:07.200 --> 1:06:10.920
<v Speaker 1>see being Crump and Stacy Abrams and and and powerful

1:06:11.000 --> 1:06:14.400
<v Speaker 1>people come voices to speak, for even a trans person

1:06:14.520 --> 1:06:17.120
<v Speaker 1>to come and say, hey, we are still black. Because

1:06:17.200 --> 1:06:19.760
<v Speaker 1>the light, the driver, i mean, the bird certificate can

1:06:19.880 --> 1:06:24.280
<v Speaker 1>say only saying sex male black or sex female black.

1:06:24.360 --> 1:06:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Anything else that you become in this life, you become.

1:06:27.240 --> 1:06:32.040
<v Speaker 1>But goddamnit, it starts with being black. With being black.

1:06:32.400 --> 1:06:36.240
<v Speaker 1>We remind ourselves that we are black people in this America,

1:06:36.400 --> 1:06:40.240
<v Speaker 1>in this America. Because I'm American before anything else, I'm

1:06:40.240 --> 1:06:43.520
<v Speaker 1>still American. I was born and raised here. I was

1:06:43.640 --> 1:06:46.000
<v Speaker 1>made here. These titties and asks weren't free. They gave

1:06:46.040 --> 1:06:48.520
<v Speaker 1>them to me in America. So Davin, I'm made in

1:06:48.600 --> 1:06:51.560
<v Speaker 1>America because they always hollowed everything made. We were made

1:06:51.600 --> 1:06:54.600
<v Speaker 1>in America. You brought us here. We were created here.

1:06:54.840 --> 1:06:58.680
<v Speaker 1>This is our greatest caper. I call it the greatest caper,

<v Speaker 1>in the conversation. We appreciate you absolutely. We appreciate you

1:09:00.160 --> 1:09:01.880
<v Speaker 1>all too, because we could not have a show with

1:09:01.960 --> 1:09:07.400
<v Speaker 1>you all this. It's so smart sometimes y'all sometimes right,

1:09:07.640 --> 1:09:11.640
<v Speaker 1>sometimes right? But were you here? And we hope that

1:09:11.760 --> 1:09:14.960
<v Speaker 1>you guys please pay attention to your surroundings. If you

1:09:15.040 --> 1:09:16.479
<v Speaker 1>have to go out in public, and we have to

1:09:16.520 --> 1:09:18.519
<v Speaker 1>go out in public, try not to live your life

1:09:18.520 --> 1:09:21.080
<v Speaker 1>in fear. Please stay prayed up. I'm gonna say this,

1:09:21.200 --> 1:09:23.000
<v Speaker 1>and I know this is gonna sound up, but please

1:09:23.040 --> 1:09:25.000
<v Speaker 1>make sure that you get some kind of life insurance

1:09:25.040 --> 1:09:27.880
<v Speaker 1>policy because nobody knows when it's gonna happen, where it's

1:09:27.880 --> 1:09:30.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen, or how it's gonna happen. We all do

1:09:30.439 --> 1:09:32.720
<v Speaker 1>know that someday we are going to leave here, and

1:09:32.840 --> 1:09:36.160
<v Speaker 1>insurance is very important. Don't leave that burden on your family.

1:09:36.520 --> 1:09:38.479
<v Speaker 1>It don't need to be no major policy. If you

1:09:38.520 --> 1:09:41.040
<v Speaker 1>can get a ten thousand dollar policy, it's just enough

1:09:41.080 --> 1:09:44.200
<v Speaker 1>to carry cover your services, so you won't leave that

1:09:44.280 --> 1:09:46.719
<v Speaker 1>burden on people, on your people, or on your family.

1:09:47.600 --> 1:09:50.760
<v Speaker 1>And a lot of us don't take insurance. Seriously, Oh,

1:09:50.800 --> 1:09:53.840
<v Speaker 1>I ain't going nowhere. Nobody knows. You don't even know.

1:09:53.960 --> 1:09:56.559
<v Speaker 1>Look at I'm sure the people Saturday had no idea

1:09:56.640 --> 1:09:58.960
<v Speaker 1>that they were going to a friendly grocery store run

1:09:59.280 --> 1:10:01.640
<v Speaker 1>and never gonna make it back home. It is so

1:10:01.840 --> 1:10:09.760
<v Speaker 1>fucked up. Who is that? Lauren says some more, you know,

1:10:09.840 --> 1:10:12.400
<v Speaker 1>I can't see ship. So that's all I'm encouraging you

1:10:12.439 --> 1:10:14.000
<v Speaker 1>guys to make sure that you have some kind of

1:10:14.040 --> 1:10:17.280
<v Speaker 1>life insurance policy, whether it's term or whole, but make

1:10:17.320 --> 1:10:20.080
<v Speaker 1>sure that you are covered because we are living in

1:10:20.240 --> 1:10:24.040
<v Speaker 1>some very very strange times and ain't nobody can just

1:10:24.160 --> 1:10:26.160
<v Speaker 1>pay ten thousand dollars out their podcasts that have a

1:10:26.240 --> 1:10:29.640
<v Speaker 1>decent service, So that is only then outside of that,

1:10:29.920 --> 1:10:32.000
<v Speaker 1>if you're going out in public, trying to stay off

1:10:32.040 --> 1:10:34.960
<v Speaker 1>your phones, trying to be aware of your surroundings because

1:10:35.000 --> 1:10:37.680
<v Speaker 1>we're living in a crazy time and if you can

1:10:37.720 --> 1:10:40.280
<v Speaker 1>see it high, get to a safe place. Like I

1:10:40.400 --> 1:10:43.360
<v Speaker 1>tell my kids, turn your ringer off, stay very quiet

1:10:43.400 --> 1:10:45.800
<v Speaker 1>and very still. If you can avoid it, some things

1:10:45.840 --> 1:10:48.679
<v Speaker 1>are unavoidable. So I'm just as I'm just pushing prayer

1:10:48.760 --> 1:10:50.920
<v Speaker 1>over everybody that's within the sound of my voice. Do

1:10:51.080 --> 1:10:53.840
<v Speaker 1>your part, but remember their self preservation is the first

1:10:53.920 --> 1:10:56.640
<v Speaker 1>love of nature. Come on, Lauren, I don't think I

1:10:56.720 --> 1:10:59.640
<v Speaker 1>need to say anything else after that. I think that

1:10:59.760 --> 1:11:02.200
<v Speaker 1>was a good word to end on. But basically a

1:11:02.240 --> 1:11:04.599
<v Speaker 1>synopsis of all of what you're saying is financial literacy.

1:11:04.800 --> 1:11:08.320
<v Speaker 1>So I really just hope people, you know, even though

1:11:08.360 --> 1:11:11.760
<v Speaker 1>we're not necessarily afforded that education and provided you know,

1:11:11.800 --> 1:11:13.840
<v Speaker 1>it's okay to seek knowledge and to seek that out,

1:11:14.000 --> 1:11:17.439
<v Speaker 1>you know. So, and a monthly insurance policy, especially when

1:11:17.439 --> 1:11:19.479
<v Speaker 1>you're a younger agent. And good health is as cheap

1:11:19.520 --> 1:11:22.080
<v Speaker 1>as a pack of cigarettes. It is as cheap as

1:11:22.120 --> 1:11:24.360
<v Speaker 1>a pack of cigarettes. If I have to break it down,

1:11:24.439 --> 1:11:26.400
<v Speaker 1>and then kind of turns for you, it's as cheap

1:11:26.439 --> 1:11:28.000
<v Speaker 1>as a pack of and some of y'all smoke to

1:11:28.160 --> 1:11:30.800
<v Speaker 1>three packs a week. Baby, You can spend twenty and

1:11:30.880 --> 1:11:34.120
<v Speaker 1>have a policy where you are covered. Well, all I'll

1:11:34.120 --> 1:11:36.479
<v Speaker 1>say is today we laughed and we learned a whole

1:11:36.560 --> 1:11:40.280
<v Speaker 1>lot we did. So what we do. We're not trying

1:11:40.280 --> 1:11:42.560
<v Speaker 1>to get anybody to change your mind. We are just

1:11:42.640 --> 1:11:44.599
<v Speaker 1>simply trying to get you to use your mind, because

1:11:44.800 --> 1:11:46.560
<v Speaker 1>in order to use your mind, you have to have

1:11:46.680 --> 1:11:48.559
<v Speaker 1>a mind. And I want you guys to be aware

1:11:48.640 --> 1:11:52.560
<v Speaker 1>that your mind is powerful, your strength is powerful, but

1:11:52.840 --> 1:11:55.679
<v Speaker 1>you need to be have some kind of self insurance

1:11:55.760 --> 1:11:57.519
<v Speaker 1>and some kind of sense of self to know who

1:11:57.640 --> 1:12:01.040
<v Speaker 1>you are. Lost people get caught up with other lost people.

1:12:01.520 --> 1:12:04.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm not giving this young man to pass. God bless him.

1:12:04.560 --> 1:12:07.439
<v Speaker 1>The devil gonna put a pitchfork up his ass, but

1:12:07.560 --> 1:12:09.840
<v Speaker 1>God bless him. That's the Southern way of saying, fuck

1:12:09.960 --> 1:12:12.160
<v Speaker 1>that nigger, because black women down South and said, God

1:12:12.240 --> 1:12:14.679
<v Speaker 1>bless you, God bless your heart. That is a dig

1:12:14.840 --> 1:12:16.840
<v Speaker 1>all day from black folks in the South. Black women

1:12:16.880 --> 1:12:19.360
<v Speaker 1>in South, fuck him. He was a racist, He was

1:12:19.479 --> 1:12:21.679
<v Speaker 1>raised by racist, and I hope it's a pitchfork waiting

1:12:21.720 --> 1:12:24.000
<v Speaker 1>on his ass in Hell when he gets there. I

1:12:24.080 --> 1:12:25.680
<v Speaker 1>don't know why they allowed him to take off his

1:12:25.760 --> 1:12:27.519
<v Speaker 1>tactical gear and then just put him out of his

1:12:27.640 --> 1:12:29.519
<v Speaker 1>misery or he was. He was there, he put the

1:12:29.560 --> 1:12:31.800
<v Speaker 1>gun up on his chin to kill himself. He should

1:12:31.840 --> 1:12:34.280
<v Speaker 1>have did it, and I know I'm not advocating that,

1:12:34.360 --> 1:12:36.040
<v Speaker 1>but he should have did it because now they're gonna

1:12:36.040 --> 1:12:41.040
<v Speaker 1>make him a martyr. All right, that's the angry bitch

1:12:41.080 --> 1:12:43.400
<v Speaker 1>in me. I'm angry black He we ain't the man
