And I don't think that I have 90 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 1: to talk a certain way. I don't think I have 91 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: to talk proper. Thank you can be yourself.

And so you've been able to, 94 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: you know, keep that seem continue. And one of those 95 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: things when I'm constantly as in training folks, when you 96 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: take care of your constituents. And we talked a little 97 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: bit about that last night, and you you know, gave 98 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: me a couple of examples how you're so accessible they're 99 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 1: able to call you on the cell phone. Kind of 100 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: run that through us, because I was just sharing with 101 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: a candidate last week when I, you know, somebody's thinking 102 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: about running, and she was talking about serving one particularly 103 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: over the other, and I told her, good city commissioners, 104 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: they really do serve everybody, even people who are not 105 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: in their district, and that also helps them maintain their seat. 106 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 1: So explain a little bit, mister May's about what you 107 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: told me last night about how people call you and 108 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: how you run you know, your shop and your accessibility. Yeah, 109 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: although I hadn't been on Twitter and I kicktok account, 110 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: I know a little bit about Facebook. But with the 111 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: type of phones that we have when I want office 112 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: even now, I think people should understand. These phones allow 113 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: you to see a miss call, they allow you to 114 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: do three way calling in conference calls, and the office phone, 115 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: like in the old days, you can call forward it 116 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: to your cell phone. In the old days, you know, 117 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: a secretary or somebody will take a call, leave you 118 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: a sticky note or something. So I think part of 119 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: my success have been I answer my phone, I return calls. 120 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: If a constituent have a problem with something in the neighborhood, 121 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: I know what department the calls, do a three way 122 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: with them on the line, and service them instantly. And 123 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: as you know, I might average eight to ten service 124 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: calls a day in a week, that might be forty. 125 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: In a month, that might be a hundred and eighties. 126 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: So when you servicing the people and answering your phone. 127 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: Then the words spreads people call me from other wars 128 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: and districts. I think by actually dealing with people like 129 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: that and trying to take there the problems, when it 130 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: comes time to vote, they vote for you because they 131 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: want to keep people who are actually doing the job. 132 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: A lot of people aren't answering phones and the turn calls, 133 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: and they're not using the technology a certain way. And 134 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: so before we get into the discordly conduct, because there's 135 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: a couple of things you know that I'm always trying 136 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: to push on the importance of local and state You 137 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: mentioned in your introduction that you know you enjoyed the 138 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: because of the money you could allocate. I know, folks 139 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: and a lot of people who are listening they love 140 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: talking about running for Congress. And I'm not against it's amazed, 141 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 1: but I am just so in love with the city 142 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: and state level, and a lot of people I don't 143 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: know if they've just infectuated by the flash of it all, 144 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: but but explain to the people how much more you 145 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: can get done in a smaller, you know, council seat, 146 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: whether it's city or state or county, and how that 147 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: really does impact of the everyday lives of individuals opposed 148 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: to trying to go to DC and and trying to convince, 149 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: you know, two hundred people to get on your side. 150 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: When you kind of look at it, you can see 151 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 1: where in Washington, DC they allocate trillions. In state government, 152 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: they allocate I like to say, millions and billions in 153 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: a city our side. You know, now we're not Los Angeles, 154 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: New York or Chicago or something like that, but we allocate. 155 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: We've got a general fun budget of about fifty four millions. 156 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 1: And when you're on the local level and you can 157 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: look and see, um, folks need them. You know, even 158 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: though the same people vote for you if you go 159 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: to Washington of Lancing. But you know, those national and 160 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: state representatives are not the last line of allocation of money. 161 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: And so I like to I like local government because 162 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: people can tend and feel and see what you're doing, 163 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 1: whether it's a pothole in the street, whether it's a 164 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: street light that they went out, or whether it's an 165 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: allocations of fun for business economic development. There's something to 166 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: the local government by being able to allocate the resources 167 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: that your constituents can see touching field more closely. And 168 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: so I've been asked about running for other positions. We'll 169 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: see if I do or don't.

So let's get to it. Mister Maithe. Now, 191 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people love you, and now 192 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: I'm going to They don't know her name, but we've 193 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: seen a ton of clicks of you and the lady 194 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 1: with red hair. Yesterday, you told me you've been there 195 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: ten years and you've seen how many mayors and how 196 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: many council people come and go, and you've still been there. 197 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: What did you tell me yesterday? Yeah, been seen three 198 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: mayors come and go, about three groups of council people come, 199 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: including the ones that's there now, and some of them 200 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: gonna have to go. The one with the pass she 201 00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: has to go. And you know, so, I think when 202 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: they concentrate on me versus concentrating on the business of 203 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: the city, that's problematic. For example, you know when Hillary 204 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: Clinton ran against Trump and I heard Trump called her 205 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: a nasty lady, and Michelle Obama say, when they go low, 206 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: we go high. My philosophy, even though I understand that 207 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: my philosophy is a Trump or the lady with the 208 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: red hair. Anybody says something foul or basically, I'm not 209 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: gonna let it go because they'll run over you. I'm 210 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: gonna address it. For example, Trump though Hillary in the 211 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: national debate all on TV, you're a nasty lady. I 212 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: just I don't like the way your hair is swooped 213 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: to the side with lack of birds and as you're 214 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: grabbing women in a private spots of the hell you 215 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: think you're talking to? You know, I think you have 216 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: to address that step immediately. Don't dare run you over 217 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: and you'll be out of office. Yes you did. And 218 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: then speaking of that, one of my favorite, the best 219 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 1: of because you don't miss to make you got a 220 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: whole copulation out here on Twitter in case you don't know. 221 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: And one of the ones that I love sharing repeatedly 222 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: is when you asked the woman, now, who are you 223 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: talking to? It? Now, take us through before we talk 224 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: about this sort of take us through that what was 225 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: going on in your mind, because one thing about it 226 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: you you believe in the Roberts rules of order. You 227 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: believe and there will be some order up in here. 228 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: So take us through when when you had to tell 229 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: the woman who does she think she talking to? And 230 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: we hear you say a lot you know, I'm just 231 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: getting tired of y'all. Why are you so tired, mister Mayes, 232 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: Tell and tell, tell the people here who's listening that 233 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: supports you. What is it that these folks? Why are 234 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: they making you so tired? I want to look at 235 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: the history of them here. You know, black folks come 236 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: out of the slavery talks any kind of way, staying 237 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: words and boring and beat us, you know, and so 238 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: you still got some carry over. People think they can 239 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: disrespect black folks fifically black men and black women, and 240 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: they still got some residue left that they can talk 241 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: to any kind of way. This is two thousand and 242 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: twenty three. This was happening in two thousand and twenty two, 243 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: two thousand and two thousand twenty one. You're not gonna 244 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: talk to me anyway. It doesn't matter who you are 245 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: and what you think. You know, they'd be having that 246 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: what you call it. They think they got privilege and 247 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: that we are not the people who we are. So 248 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: what was going through my mind? I'm like, who she 249 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: thinks she talking to? You know, our meetings I recorded 250 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: as video. We got people watching locally. Now they're looking 251 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: at it nation wide. Because people are sharing and these 252 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: clips of what I've said and done. But that what 253 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: was going through my mind. These people is ignorant and 254 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: disrespectful and you can't let them get away with And 255 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: so you you also mentioned handkerchief negroes that you served with. 256 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: What is a handkerchief handkerchief negro and why did you 257 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: feel it was important to put that on the record. Well, 258 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: you know, you can google handkerchief heads and their vindiction there. 259 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: You can google it. But that's like a uncle term. 260 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: You always had blacks and hows negroes that would see 261 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: the field negro getting beaten hooked, and they would always 262 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: say yes boss, and they do things for the black 263 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: folks to hurt the black folks, and they would cater 264 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: to the white folks.

She's lying about that, and you've got 339 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: a duty as a prosecutor to deal with that perjury. 340 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: And I've got to duty as a judge, she says, 341 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: before this trial is over, you might want to straighten 342 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: that out and give her a chance. But the jury deliberated, 343 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: didn't hear about this perjury. Come back with a guilty verdict. 344 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: So now we're filling the PaperWorks to set aside the 345 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: jury verdict. We're raising the purjury issue. The video evidence, 346 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 1: just like in these police cases, is the great way 347 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: to the evidence. So we're gonna see if that verdict 348 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: can be set aside. You can be charged with perjury 349 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 1: and a new trial. Um.
