00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: Zoran Mundanie's transition team.

10
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: Now, if you haven't.

11
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 2: Heard, Zoran Mundani, the mayor elect of New York City,

12
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: has been putting together his transition team. First of all,

13
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: what is a mayor elects transition team? A mayor's transition

14
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: team is a group of trusted advisors, experts, community leaders

15
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 2: assembled by a mayor elect between their election victory and

16
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 2: inauguration to prepare for governing. All right, they helped to

17
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: select key staff, and they helped to develop policy priorities.

18
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 2: Two people that Zoran has selected our two individuals I

19
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: support had the okay. One is our fearless leader, the

20
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: good sister to Mika Mallory dropping the clues boonds for

21
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: to Meka Mallory. The other is the good brother Masan

22
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 2: dropping the clues bombs from my son. Okay, I know

23
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: Mysians since like old stick to Old seven whenever he

24
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,199
Speaker 2: first came home. Full disclosure. Not only are those my people,

25
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 2: I do business with both of them, Okay, My Imprint

26
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: Black Privileged Publishing published both to me because books State

27
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: of Emergency, How to Win in the Country We Built

28
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 2: and her memoir I Live to Tell the story Great

29
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: stocking stuff was. By the way, my Imprint Black Privileged

30
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: Publishing publishers their podcasts as well TMI. So in case

31
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 2: you didn't know, now you know now. Both of them

32
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: have been named to Zoran Mundonnie's transition team. Excellent choices

33
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: if you ask me, you know why they are excellent

34
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 2: choices because they are true public servants, okay, who don't

35
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 2: give a damn about politics.

36
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: They care about the people.

37
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: They actually do the thankless work of activism, dropping the

38
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: clues bombs for their organization until freedom. And we all

39
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: know activism comes with great risk in very little rewards.

40
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: So when I saw Zoran add them to.

41
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: His transition team, I said, oh good, Okay, he's got

42
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: a couple of people that are that are going to

43
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: hold him accountable. And I knew they were great picks

44
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: when I saw the attacks.

45
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: Come for both of them mmediately. Okay.

46
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: The headlines for Tamika where Mundani transition team includes Women's

47
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: March leader embroiled and anti Semitism scandal. Fox News headline

48
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: was Mundani taps disgraced activists who said one day we

49
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: can abolish police the Key Public Safety Committee.

50
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: Both of those headlines were about t Meeka Mallory.

51
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 2: Just because you are against the killing of innocent kids

52
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: and guys in Palestine doesn't make you anti Semitic. And

53
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: just because you believe you should reallocate funds from police

54
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: budgets the community based services like mental health, housing, education,

55
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,399
Speaker 2: violence prevention, because you want to address the root causes

56
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: of crime. That don't mean you want to abolish police.

57
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: You just want to reduce reliance on policing for social issues, okay.

58
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: And you're promoting public safety through community well being rather

59
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: than punishment. You ask me, that's the perfect person to

60
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: have on your public say the committee. Okay, now the

00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: He's the president of the Correction Officers Benevolent Association said

86
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: it is both disheartening and deeply disturbing that individuals who

87
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: are convicted felons and have a history of breaking the

88
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: law are being given the opportunity to help shape the

89
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 2: future of New York's criminal justice system.

90
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: Huh, Bennie, are you serious?

91
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: You are corrections officer who doesn't believe in people who

92
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: have been corrected. Masan has first hand lived experience with

93
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: the system.

94
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: He understands communities that.

95
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 2: Have been disproportionately affected by over policing, mass and consceration.

96
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: He walked the walk and he survived it. Okay, that's

97
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: what you should have.

98
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: Want a symbol of a more restorative, human centered model,

99
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 2: not just this tough on crime system that we've been using.

100
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: Okay, he has a redemptive story. Isn't that what we want? Ours?

101
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: Redemption only for everybody but black men.

102
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: They always want to reduce us to our worst moments,

103
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: and they never want to acknowledge our growth. My son

104
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 2: can reach people that Zoran or no other politician can,

105
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: and that's what they don't want. That's what they are

106
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 2: afraid of. They don't want more stories like my son.

107
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 2: They want black men in prison forever. They don't want

108
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: no redemption for us. And that's why I love Mundannie's

109
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 2: choices because he picked someone in people.

110
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: But in the case of my son.

111
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: He's picked someone who has lived through incarceration and now

112
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: advocates for reform.

113
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: Listen to all these critics.

114
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 2: You know you say you want criminal justice reform and

115
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 2: then get mad when somebody who's actually been through the

116
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 2: damn system gets a seat at the table. What grop

117
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: ain't always pretty and expertise don't always come in a suit.

118
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: Zorn picks someone with a pass.

119
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,799
Speaker 2: To lead us into the future, and I, for one, loved,

120
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 2: please give all these critics Zoran Mndnnie's transition team the

121
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: biggest he Huh. I can't believe that they got mice

122
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 2: on on the front of the I'm adding this to

123
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: the end of the chat. I really can't believe that

124
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 2: they got mice on the front of the New York

125
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 2: Post with the headline crime boss.

126

00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 2: two thousand and six, has been a model citizen ever since.

131
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 2: How can you put him on the front page of

132
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,799
Speaker 2: the New York Post and call him a crime boss?

133
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: This happen to be something of defamation or something that's away,

Speaker 1: and it's so crazy. All the positive things he did

Speaker 1: in the community, all the positive things he did from

00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: New York City, all the positive things he's done around

137
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,120

Speaker 2: says boycott black murder. That's who this man is. Now,
