As promise, I am going 9 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: to mix up this season by offering you commentary in 10 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 1: addition to interviews. Thank you so much for checking out 11 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: all of the interviews that we've had this month. We 12 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: have got off to a great start and I look 13 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,559 Speaker 1: forward to moving forward with you. We have a lot 14 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: to cover. This is the first week of August, and 15 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 1: I want to unpack a couple of things. Number One, 16 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: it's Joe Manchin the Democrats, Daddy like real talk. I've 17 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: talked to you about this before, and I have to 18 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: go over it again because the level of pimping and 19 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: boss and hustle and gangster that Joe Mansion has is 20 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 1: quite amazing. In fact, uh to some of the homies 21 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: in the street. That's admirable. It really is. Black folks 22 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: sent Joe Biden to the White House. Black folks came 23 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: out and voted in a pandemic to ensure that Democrats 24 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: won the White House and the Senate. And yet Joe Mansion, 25 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: who represents a very small amount of black folks, who 26 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:57,279 Speaker 1: is a moderate, is the one that is holding all 27 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: of our progress by the balls. I don't know no 28 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: other way to say it. I've been calling him lately 29 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: the President, the Vice President, and the chairman of the 30 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:15,399 Speaker 1: DNC because everything surrounds around Joe Manchion. We have yet 31 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 1: to hear President Biden called him out. We have yet 32 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: to hear other members outside of the Progressives call him out. 33 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: We have yet to see any punitive action, like maybe 34 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: taking him from a committee or not allowing him to 35 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: negotiate on our behalf. But in fact, he's been rewarded 36 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: by the media for having power. If you go back 37 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: in Google, you'll see at the beginning of this administration, 38 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: they said that Joe Manchion will be the most powerful 39 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: person in Congress. And not only has he been the 40 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: most powerful person in Congress, he's the most powerful person period, 41 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: including Joe Biden. Clearly and it's just amazing how blatant 42 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: this is. I've been talking about this for the last 43 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: ten years plus. A lot of you just probably started 44 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: following me over the last few years, but if you 45 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: go back and you listen to my shows, I've done 46 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: radio and television for over a decade, even when folks 47 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: weren't watching. I've always talked about the Democrats that pretend 48 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: as if they're on our side, and how it is 49 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: veiled in mask just because they say they're Democrats. And 50 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: Malcolm X talked about this in nine in the Ballot 51 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: or the bullet And even though we've been warned about 52 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: this time and time again, there is something about particularly 53 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: black folks, that just believe that because they come around 54 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: to our communities and say the right things, that all 55 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:53,119 Speaker 1: of a sudden, they're going to be anything different than 56 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: what they have shown us in the past. I get it. 57 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: I know folks needed to get Trump out of office. 58 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: I get it. However, it doesn't mean that we just 59 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: stopped pushing the line. I never expected Biden to be 60 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: honest with you, to do anymore than what Biden has 61 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: always done over the last thirty or forty years. Just 62 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: to be honest with you. Uh, he ran on being 63 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: a healer. He didn't run on policy. He ran on 64 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: being a healer. So I don't expect much policy from him, 65 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: nor do I, really, to be honest with you, expect 66 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: anything from a politician. What I expect is for us 67 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: to continue to push the line, and the silence is deafening. 68 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be rare with you. The silence is amazing. 69 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: The same folks that spent all day every day on 70 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: social media vote vote, vote, vot, vot vot vote, have, 71 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: bottom line, just been silent. I don't know because they're 72 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: embarrassed because it's been so blatant. The disrespect has been 73 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: such at a blatant high level in the last six months, 74 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: with saying that America is not a racist country, from 75 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: the leak tapes of meeting with civil rights leaders to say, hey, 76 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: we're not gonna sign a damn thing on executive ord. 77 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 1: Get in where you're feeding, and you better line up 78 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: with the Latino community. From the Georgia Justice and Policing 79 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 1: Act still uh, not being signed and that will be gutted, 80 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: meaning losing qualified immunity, to going to the Tulsa massacre, 81 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,239 Speaker 1: not even bringing the three living survivors and Amazon gift card. 82 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: They got nothing, and Ben Joe Biden doubled down to say, 83 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: not only am I not bringing you at least a 84 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: check for reparations, Uh, y'all better double y'all efforts and 85 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: getting people out to vote. The audacity for him to 86 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: even put that in the same conversation, the same speech. 87 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: Now we see voting rights on the table, pastors all 88 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: over the country of marching and singing and praying and 89 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: praying the hell out of them and all of that. Hey, 90 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: that's the Lord's work. We got work to do right 91 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: here on earth, and faithful that works is dead. And 92 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: what I'm not seeing is the accountability of calling people out. 93 00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: I know y'all say that's not the way to do it. 94 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: I know I'll say, Oh, it's better to get honey 95 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: whatever that phrase is. It's better to get bees with 96 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: honey than vinegarl whatever that ship is. I'm about stinging. 97 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be and I'm about stinging. Matter of fact, 98 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: shoutout to little Kim the Queen Bee throw a hex 99 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: on the whole family. So I'm all about giving it 100 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: to him straight shot, no chaser. And one thing you're 101 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: gonna know for sure is that I at least I 102 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: fought like hell. I Maybe I didn't get it, maybe 103 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: I didn't win, but you're gonna know that I stood 104 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: on what I said I was, I stood on principle 105 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: and I fought like hell. And that's what we're not 106 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: seeing on the congressional level and from our leaders that 107 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: are not saying anything at all. Republicans are going to 108 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: do what they do. They're gonna keep being the gangsters. 109 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: They are ending the filibuster to carve it out. They're 110 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: gonna do it anyway. They're gonna do whatever it takes, 111 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: ending the filibuster, keeping the filibuster, vote of suppression, storm 112 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: to capital, whatever it takes for them to stay in power, 113 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 1: they will stay in power. Whatever it takes for them 114 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: to steal power, they will steal. So this weak ask 115 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: excuse about where we can't in the filibuster because their 116 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: Republicans are gonna be when they're get in charge, they're 117 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: gonna do the same thing where they wouldn't be in 118 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: charge if you actually passed the policy that people want 119 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: to see, because then people could get out and vote, 120 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: would want to vote. So these marches that only our 121 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,239 Speaker 1: organizing about we gotta say voter rights, vote, vote vote. 122 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: Look at the makeup, look at the makeup of the 123 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: people that are out there marching people. Don't give a 124 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: damn to say this is the summer of activism. I 125 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: thought last year was a summer activism. How many more 126 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: summers of active business do we have to do? Nothing? Organized? 127 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: The whole country more than George Floyd the murder of 128 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: George Floyd. And you're not delivering on that. So who 129 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: the hell gonna come out again this summer and talk 130 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: about I want the right to vote for what. And 131 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: that's not me being anti voting, that's me just tell 132 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: what you like it is, vote for what and for who? 133 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: Because we just did that and you're not delivering. It's 134 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: like a pimp that just keep beating your ass up 135 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: and say, don't talk back, just get out there and 136 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: put it in my pocket. P I M P. Is 137 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: that blatant? That disrespectful? I want to play for you 138 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: the clip of Joe Mansion Sunday, August First I'll meet 139 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: the press, when he was asked if you would consider 140 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: carving out some of the filibuster. Take a listen. I 141 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: know you wanted to be bipartisan, but I don't know 142 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: how possible that is the only Republican i've heard talk 143 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: about this in a positive way is Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. 144 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 1: I can't understand, Jake, and I'm sorry to terript you 145 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: on that, but I cannot understand. How did they pass 146 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: zero in two thousand and six and now it's not 147 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: possible for that to happen. I don't know, But is 148 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: there any circumstance under which you could imagine? Let me 149 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: pause right there? He said, I to interrupt you, Jake, 150 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: but how is this not possible? Well, he didn't hate 151 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: to interrupt. I want to give you some game on 152 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: how commentary works. He didn't hate to interrupt. He intentionally 153 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: interrupted to put in a talking point to pretend as 154 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: if he's so confused. I don't understand. Why are we 155 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: not doing we're supposed to be doing, Joe, We're talking 156 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: about you. We're not talking about the nineties and early 157 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: two thousand and what happened. We're talking about right now 158 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: in two thousand twenty one. You know, Dan, Well, while 159 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 1: it was possible to do it then, and why it's 160 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: not possible to do it now?

That's done playing with black folks. 162 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: So you know the answer, let's continue allowing a carve 163 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,599 Speaker 1: out for the I know you oppose getting rid of 164 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: the filibuster, but there there's some people in the more 165 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: moderate camp, like Angus King's main is an independent who 166 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: said that he's possibly willing to step back from the 167 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: filibuster opposition to getting rid of to follow us for 168 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: just for voting rights, because he's so concerned and it 169 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: becomes it's becomes so part of us. Can you imagine 170 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: ever doing that, Jake, I can't imagine a car about 171 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: because I was here in team and it was called 172 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: a car about. We're just going to do the cabinet 173 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: for the president, and then it went into we're gonna 174 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: do the judges for a lifetime appointments for circuit industrict. 175 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: They're even going to do Supreme Court. But they didn't 176 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: at that time the Democrats were in control. Seventeen Mr 177 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: McConnell's in control. Comes right back in and guess what 178 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: that car about worked and really carve us up pretty bad. 179 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: Then you have the Supreme Court. Okay, so there's no 180 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: stocking it. And if we don't put this place back 181 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: in order do you get rid of the filibuster which 182 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: makes us work together? And I've said this the whole 183 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: the brilliancy of our of our founding fathers, was this. 184 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: Why then, or did they give two senators to Rhode 185 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: Island in Delaware at the time they were forming this 186 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 1: great nation of ours when they told New York and 187 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania in Ohio and you don't get too too, it 188 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: was basically, didn't make us work together, so that the 189 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: big states went over run the little states. It's a 190 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: minority participation. Well, guess what, Joe, we're not working together. 191 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: We're not working together. You're not even working with the 192 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: Democrat party, with the party that you say that you represent. 193 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: You're working with the Republicans. Joe, let's just call this 194 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: what it is. Nobody's working together. This is you and 195 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: the Republicans don't work what Democrats and who give a damn. 196 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: We don't give a damn about you all working together 197 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: and being best of friends, and nobody cares about that. 198 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: What people care about is when their parties in charge, 199 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 1: they want people to deliver. That is why Trump loyalists 200 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: are Trump loyalists, because Trump either delivers, or he makes 201 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: it known who's in his way, or if he cannot deliver, 202 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: he tells you why, he points the finger at who 203 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: didn't make it possible, even if he's lying, and he 204 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: constantly stays engage with his base Democrats. Oh, no, we're 205 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 1: gonna work together, we're gonna feel good. We want to 206 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: be the best of friends. Then they go silent. They 207 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: don't tell you what they're doing, they don't put anything out, 208 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 1: they don't blast anybody out. Oh we want to have class. 209 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: Oh we want to be above that. Oh we want 210 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: to have dignity. We don't do that. We don't do Twitter, 211 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: we don't do that. They have the Selda's attitude that 212 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: the nerve of us to even question what it is 213 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: that you're doing. We don't do Twitter, and we don't 214 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: do Facebook. Where you're better. Damn well start doing something, 215 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: because in you're going to lose. And the problem I 216 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: don't really to be honest with you you, I don't care 217 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: about you're losing. But the problem is I care about 218 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:26,719 Speaker 1: state level candidates, ballot down candidates, state representative offices, state senators, 219 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: city council folk, people that actually do the work in 220 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: their cities, that are not gonna be able to do 221 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: it because of the foolishness that you guys are doing 222 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: on the federal level. That's the problem that I have. 223 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: I trained dozens of candidates a month every month. For 224 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: those of you that don't know our own Tesla and 225 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 1: figure old communications group. I have a master's and adult education. 226 00:12:55,640 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 1: I actually teach and train in real life. And there 227 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 1: are candidates out there that really are trying to make 228 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: a difference. They don't have the money that people raise 229 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: for Congress. They don't have the resources, they don't have 230 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,839 Speaker 1: the training resources. Uh, they don't have the connections. I'm 231 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: talking about people that's running on four and five hundred 232 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: dollars a thousand dollars, you know, money that they're taking 233 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: out their paycheck of trying to make a difference while 234 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: people in Congress are playing games. Those are the ones 235 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: that lose when we have these mid term elections because 236 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: it is so hard to get people out in mid 237 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: terms and mid term all presidential years. I give an 238 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: example right now in Ohio the congressional race District leven 239 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: between Senator and Nina Turner and Chantelle Brown. This is 240 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: a congress race, um. It is also highly publicized proxy race, 241 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: meaning progressive versus Democrats. And there's thirteen people running and 242 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 1: I know collectively, I'm sure over ten million dollars has 243 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 1: been spent on that race. That's with both candidate, all 244 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: of the candidates combine, and the outside money from the 245 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: packs which we call political action committees. Tuesday, they will 246 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: vote for that by the time you get this recording, 247 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: which drops on Thursday. I'm I'm recording this Monday, August two. 248 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna see how many people come to the polls. 249 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna see how many people come to the post 250 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: and if I had to guess, I would say less 251 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: than fifty thousand, maybe forty, maybe thirty twenties at best. 252 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: For damn, there ten million dollars that went into this race. 253 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: So when we look at races and and what it 254 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: takes to get people to the polls, and the fact 255 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: that it's only gonna be that's a highly publicized race. 256 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: When you look at state races, may or races, you're 257 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: talking about tenth thousand and fifteen thousand, five thousand, four thousand. 258 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: I've seen city commissioners win with eleven hundred votes. Now 259 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: in Cleveland, registered voters that could vote for this Ohio district. 260 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: I think it's almost I know it's over six hundred thousand, 261 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: close to seven hundred thousands of people that's actually registered. 262 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: You don't even have one percenta that's showing up, not 263 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: even temper center that's showing up. So imagine how that hurts. 264 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: If that's Congress, Imagine how that hurts somebody that's running 265 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: for state senator or state representative, our city council that 266 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: don't even have a hundred thousand, let alone a million. 267 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: And these are folks that you go to church with, 268 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: that you see that you know, have have invested in 269 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: their communities. The salary for these positions when you talk 270 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: about state House positions Texas now, when they tried to say, oh, 271 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: you know, we can't believe they're spending money lavishly to 272 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: go to d C to fight for voting rights, I believe, 273 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: and I could be wrong. They're yearly salary is I 274 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: want to say a couple of thousand dollars a year, 275 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: and don't quote me on that, but definitely less than 276 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: ten thousand a year. I can't remember what it was. 277 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: It was something that was just ridiculous, a ridiculous amount. 278 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: So these are part time jobs that people do to 279 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: serve their communities. Now, don't get me wrong, I challenge 280 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: a lot of state reps, a lot of state senators 281 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: that use those part time jobs for their own benefits. 282 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: And we can talk about that another time. There there 283 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: are a lot of perks that come with that, but 284 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: that's not what this conversation is about. This conversation is 285 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: about how the good people that are running on these 286 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: state and local levels will be hurt behind this foolishness 287 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: that is happening on the federal level. Right now, there 288 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: is a issue about people being evicted and passing up 289 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: the rent bill more moratorium, and I was looking at 290 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: shout out to Killer Mike, you know him as Killer 291 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: Mike Rapper, Killer Mike Michael Render. He had put a 292 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: post up about Judge Asha Jackson, who's the chief Superior Court, 293 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: and she issued a county wide eviction moratorium, which means 294 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: since federal the federal level won't do it, she stepped 295 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: in to do it for her county. Well, guess what 296 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: a judge is an elected position. Judges lose even though 297 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: they don't run partisan. Because right now I'm talking about 298 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: getting out the vote, like people going to the polls. 299 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 1: So when people don't go to the polls, you don't 300 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: vote for judge, just you don't vote for state reps, 301 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: you don't vote for attorney generals. Next year we have 302 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: thirty attorney generals on the ballot. For those you don't 303 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 1: know how important that is. Keith Ellison an attorney general 304 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: that was the one that decided on how the Derek 305 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: Schavon case for the murder of George Floyd, how that 306 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: would be managed. Him being in that position, bringing out 307 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: outside council and resources to make sure that that case 308 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: that was not fumbled. It makes a difference. So when 309 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: Congress is playing this game, it hurts us. I'm not 310 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: even talking about them, I'm talking about the local level 311 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 1: and this idea of let's just not worry about Congress, 312 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: just vote down ballot. No the money to even get 313 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: the vote out, the millions of dollars that they spend 314 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 1: to get the vote out, just to even let people 315 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: know what an election is. So for those who don't know, 316 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 1: get the vote out our campaigns that lets people know, hey, 317 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 1: an election is going on. Call banks UH system called 318 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: van Voter Action Network that allows you to make phone 319 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: calls and and canvassing the resources that you need for 320 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: people to come to the post. People in state houses 321 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 1: ballot down candidates, they depend on that because they don't 322 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: have the resources to get out the vote, to even 323 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 1: let people know an election is going on. So this 324 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: idea of oh, let's just not worry about the top, 325 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 1: just vote down ballot, who the hell gonna tell them 326 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 1: it's even a race happening. So the money that goes 327 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: into elections comes from our congressional seats and our presidential campaigns. 328 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: But that's not explaining to you because everything is hype 329 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 1: and talk and spind and you know what sounds good 330 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: on on YouTube, what sounds good on on TV. And 331 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: there there's a lot of political science here that people 332 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 1: need to understand that actually affects our community, and they're 333 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: making it hard for activists that are trying to get 334 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: people to understand the importance of voting. When you're fumbling 335 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: the bag. I know many people that said they won't 336 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: be saying ship in, they've already said it because they 337 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: don't want to be burned, they don't want to be embarrassed. 338 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,880 Speaker 1: They don't want to be held responsible for what other 339 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: people did when they have zero control so you have 340 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: lost so much credibility. And it's not because we didn't 341 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: know what you were gonna do, but it was because 342 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: the fact that you think we're not going to challenge. 343 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 1: And maybe they're right, because again, I haven't heard a 344 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: lot of folks scream and yell the same way they 345 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: did when Trump was in office. And see, what's what's 346 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: interesting about that is you know, and folks say, well, 347 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 1: you didn't, You didn't You didn't help people vote for 348 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. No, I I don't. I didn't do it. 349 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: I didn't work for Joe Biden. I didn't have you 350 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: to vote for Trump and telling vote Joe Biden. I 351 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: did say that once he won that we need to 352 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 1: get the Senate to give Joe Biden all the tools 353 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: he'll need so that he won't have an excuse. And 354 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: guess what, he still has an excuse. But I knew that. 355 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: I just want a job to see it because you 356 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: didn't want to believe me, so you gotta see it 357 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 1: for yourself. So as we move forward in two, let 358 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: there be no confusion there when folks like me speak up. 359 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: Everything I'm doing that podcast commentary on Black News Channel, 360 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: it's just about receipts. That's all. I know. They're gonna 361 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 1: do what they want to do. But I just wanted 362 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: on record that I said what I said, because when 363 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: these celebrities come around in and it's a gimmick to 364 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 1: them again and they speak up, I'm gonna be asking 365 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 1: the questions, where were you the last four years, three years, 366 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: two years, and so forth.

I talked about 369 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 1: it when I was on Fox News, when black people 370 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: didn't even know I existed.

I talked about it on the teslaent to 376 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: Neils Show in Florida, which was a TV show. I 377 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 1: talked about it with my first TV show in two 378 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: thousand and three at the University of North Texas called unscripted, 379 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: meaning I didn't do scripts then, I don't do scripts now. 380 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: I do this for real.

If they're not 394 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: in power, then it's a waste of time.

I 401 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: talked directly to the people on the field. I don't 402 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: look in the stands and the next door say, hey, 403 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: why you're not screaming or yelling, you know, or cheering 404 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 1: or not cheering are boing?

This is in my soul. I 412 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: have many opportunities to get the bag to go in 413 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: a different direction. If I wanted the money would be 414 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: really easy to do. All I have to do is 415 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 1: be a conservative. Clearly, you see I'm on Fox News. 416 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: It's easy to do. I know the right people to call. 417 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: I could be on every single day. I could out 418 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 1: can This Owens. I could out Candice, meaning I can 419 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: out Candice Candice. I could be a more Candice Owens 420 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: than Candas Owen's. Could be a Candas Owens if I 421 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:14,360 Speaker 1: wanted to be, But I chose not to because that's 422 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: not who I am, and I might always stand on 423 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 1: my name Tesla and figure Oh, it's an odd name. 424 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: You'll never meet another. Literally, it's a it's a Tesla 425 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: out there because my mom named me after her sorority sister. 426 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: And there's figure Ros. But there's only one Tesla figure Ro. 427 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 1: It's not Jane Doe, it's not Kim Smith. So when 428 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: my name is put on something, you know who it is. 429 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: And so because of that, I have to stand on 430 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 1: my name in the integrity of my name.

Don't 437 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: get into the comments on Twitter because to me, Twitter 438 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: is just a cesspool of cast for the goats, a 439 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: bunch of anonymous people that hide behind avatars, and I 440 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: can't handle it. It's the weakest ever, So it's access 441 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: pool for misery. So I don't say much their Instagram 442 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: people hide behind their handles as well.
