So listening to 13 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:45,160 Speaker 3: you speak and I'm thinking about particularly the strategic messaging, 14 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 3: the ganging on the stuff that we need to do 15 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 3: is gorilla stype type stuff. To be real honest with you, 16 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 3: it's gorilla type stuff. I love that you're a space maker. 17 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 3: I'm a space maker. 18 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 4: When you look at my and you look at my 19 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 4: Twitter homepage, you see everybody on there, people who got 20 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 4: you know, fifty followers, people who have multiple thousands. If 21 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 4: your message makes sense and it serves the larger purpose 22 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 4: and goal, I'm gonna retweet it. I'm gonna amplify it. 23 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 4: I'm gonna like it so that people can so that 24 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 4: other people can see it. And I know I get 25 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 4: trolled by a lot of producers, including in journalism and 26 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 4: the like, and so I want people to see the 27 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 4: message because for me, it's about getting the larger goal met. 28 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 4: And when you win, I win, and I win, you win, 29 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 4: because that's what it's about. So here's the question that 30 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 4: I have when you listed all those things about how 31 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 4: people don't want to amplify the message because whatever they 32 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 4: want to be the big voice on the room, they 33 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 4: want they want to be the one. 34 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 2: To be seen. 35 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 4: They feel that they have to adhere to the narrative 36 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,919 Speaker 4: rather than adhering to the goal. Are Black Americans ready 37 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 4: to win? Is the question that I have. Are they? 38 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 4: Are we ready to win? 39 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 2: Well? 40 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: I think it's a multiple you know, And again I 41 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: don't want to speak for the collective, but I think, 42 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: you know, there's a multiple, multiple ways of winning. 43 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 2: And it's not just in social media. 44 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: You know, at the end of the day, you know, 45 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: when we talk about That's why when I asked him, matth, 46 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: have you ever been able to get anybody in a 47 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: room to do anything to follow you up the hill? 48 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: I'm more than happy to sit down with their master 49 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: or their hero, whoever it is, and we can go 50 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,679 Speaker 1: over year by year. I'm talking about sixth grade in 51 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: high school. I'm talking about just what I've done and organizing. 52 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: Are you able to get anybody to follow you up 53 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: the hill to actually organize? I am an organizer, so 54 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 1: I don't this virtual shit, you know, tweeting and twitter 55 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: spaces and who's amplifying the message at the end of 56 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 1: the day. That's cool, but that's not how the battle 57 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: is won. It's one on the ground. So I've never 58 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: cared about if somebody amplified or retweeted or comment at. 59 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 2: The end of the day. 60 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: Whoever, come in, come meet me in Orlando, Florida, and 61 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: you let's see how many people we can get in 62 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: the room.

If you want to talk about organizing, then 67 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 1: let's talk about it. Let's talk about being on the 68 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders campaign, being dropped down in cities that I 69 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: knew nobody at all and having three days in order 70 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: to build a campaign for a man that nobody knew 71 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: anything about, while simultaneously still going on Fox News and 72 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: being talked about for going on Fox News. I and 73 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: still simultaneously working with being Crump and being talked about 74 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: for working with being Crump. 75 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 2: At one time I was. 76 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: Working with the socialists, the far right people, and being 77 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: Crump what they call a black nationalist, and pissing off 78 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: the hotel community that they say he's a grifter. So 79 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: I literally, when I'm working with I work from every 80 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: side of the table who nobody likes, and I do 81 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: it all simultaneously, and I maintain my credibility. So since 82 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't focus on 83 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: who get it and who don't get it. When Sonny 84 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: met me a girl, I was doing blog talk radio 85 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: for thirty nine to ninety nine, a big damn three 86 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: way call.

I didn't give a damn who's 88 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: listening and who's amplifying it. But my thing has been 89 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: about being consistent. There was a story that I did, 90 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: and Sonny remembers this. It was somebody came on my 91 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: blog talk radio show and was talking about Commissioner Timmy 92 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: Moore Russell, who was running for Clerker courts, and he 93 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: said on my show, well, all she did was have babies. 94 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: He was a conservative, and he said his name was 95 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: Randy Ross.

She was a county commissioner at the time. 98 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: She was running for a seat that was being occupied 99 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: by somebody who was appointed by Rick Scott who at 100 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: the time he was a governor in Florida. The past 101 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: Clerker Court passed away, so they had to appoint somebody 102 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: at the time. He was a Hispanic man. He was perfect, 103 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: like on paper, Hispanic conservative. He was an environmentalist, he 104 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: loved to ride bikes.

They just knew he was gonna win the 109 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: second time. And I know y'all hate when I give stories, 110 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: but we got to give real time stories. That's why 111 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: they mad advice because they can't give no real time stories. 112 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 1: So anyway, so he comes on my show blog talk radio. 113 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: I'm paying what thirty nine ninet nine a month.

They liked it because I was talking about 121 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: things that they agreed with.

She's been sitting in it ever since. 174 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: She is the first black woman ever elected as Clerk 175 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: of Courts in the state of Florida. She's the third 176 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: black person ever. Not that race matters, but I just 177 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: wanted to point that out. And Tiffany is still elected 178 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: to this day. That's how I move. So I know 179 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: how this works. I know what it is that they're doing. 180 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: I can recognize it. I can give you a story 181 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: after story after story. 182 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,119 Speaker 2: I've done that. Guys. 183 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: So you're conservatives, you're not fooling me. Like you're not 184 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: fooling me, vibecure. What you're doing is being over the 185 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: top and you're showing your slip. What you really should 186 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: have done is just trickle in the comments, you know, 187 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: every now and then. Because this makes me believe that 188 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: it is obvious that a text was sent out which 189 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: they told me. By the way, I'm on a lot 190 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: of list serves. By the way, conservatives, you may not 191 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: know it, but I am. So the text that went 192 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: out to go and get into the comments space and 193 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 1: do all of that. I was on that list, and folks, 194 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: let me know exactly what's what, and I can tell. 195 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: So when you work on the ground, says, all of 196 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: this other talk doesn't matter because you can recognize things 197 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: and you can put strategies in place. And so now 198 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: guess what I was able to do. Whether they like 199 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: me or not. Now it's on the record that he 200 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: was exposed for a PR campaign see Don Lemon would 201 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: rather debate the Civil War. I wanted it on record 202 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: on a national platform that it's a pr campaign. I 203 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: wanted it on a national platform that he just voted 204 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: for the first time a few years ago. And now 205 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 1: that he qualifies for the debate in August, guess what 206 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: they're going to bring up that he just voted for 207 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: the first time a few years ago. So I'm pretty 208 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: good at it. I could give more stories because they 209 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: think I'm so dumb and they're the smartest ones in 210 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: the room. But I'm actually kind of good at it 211 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 1: and amazing. Lucas pointed it out the moment of the 212 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: interview when I knew it would go viral, and I 213 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 1: knew I expected conservatives to come after me because that's 214 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: what they do. 215 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 2: They that's just what they do. 216 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 1: Just like they come after me when I went when 217 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: I was hard on Maryanne Williamson for asking the same question. 218 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: So stop worrying about the black Americans getting it, Stop 219 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: worrying about if they're ready to win, stop worrying about 220 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: if they're getting it. Don't be Harriet Tubman. Don't turn 221 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: around and go get the other words. Others run your race. 222 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: I am consistent. I've been talking about the same thing. 223 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: I don't talk about revolutionary shit on Friday and dating 224 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: on Saturday, and back to talking about whoever's working on Sunday, 225 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: and then back to revolution on Monday, and then back 226 00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: to this on Tuesday. 227 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 2: I talk about the. 228 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: Same thing year over year over year. When it's boring, 229 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: when it's not, when it's hot, when it's not. If 230 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: Trump is running, if he's not running, stay consistent. Charlamagne said, 231 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: the best don't be worry about the algorithm. Be the algorithm. 232 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: Be the one that makes it pop. And it doesn't 233 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: mean that you have to be salacious and provocative and all. 234 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 2: You just have to tell the truth. Some things pop, 235 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 2: some things don't. But don't worry about if everybody getting it. 236 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: You can't worry about if everybody's getting it, because everybody's 237 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: never going to get it, and this race is never 238 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: going to be over. 239 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 2: It's just not. 240 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 5: I like to add though, because I think for especially 241 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 5: for black conservatives who are on that right wing space, 242 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 5: if becomes a different kind of argument the way you're 243 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 5: looking at it, and everything you said is true, we 244 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 5: have to continue to do it. 245 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 2: We have to make sure we have consistency. 246 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,559 Speaker 5: We have to make sure we're opening up our platforms 247 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 5: for each other. But we also have to realize, like 248 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 5: the people who are who are on the right with us, 249 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 5: who share that space with us, we got to fight 250 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 5: them too, especially those black faces that are on the right, 251 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 5: that only stupid shit comes out of their mouths. So 252 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 5: it becomes for us a two prong approach because you 253 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 5: have people that are on the ground doing the work. 254 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 2: I know a lot of. 255 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 5: Good Black Conservatives are good, a lot of good Black 256 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 5: Republicans that are on the ground doing the work, but 257 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 5: they have to compete with these black faces who have 258 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 5: the bigger microphones, that have the bigger messages, that don't 259 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 5: get their fucking hands dirty at any point in time, 260 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 5: that don't do anything as far as organizing this concern, 261 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 5: that don't do anything as far as getting in and 262 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 5: being with the people they have no connection, But they 263 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 5: are the ones that consistently get elevated. So when they 264 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 5: go around and Juneteenth just past being a perfect example. 265 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 2: When you have all your people at the. 266 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 5: Top talking about June teeth is a made up holiday, X, 267 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 5: Y and Z and all this other bullshit. Even if 268 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 5: you're on the ground throwing a Juneteenth celebration which there 269 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 5: were black Conservatives and black Republicans around the country. 270 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 2: That did that. 271 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 5: It makes you now have to look at and fight 272 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 5: those voices that get elevated within your own shit. So 273 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 5: it becomes that's one of the reasons why as far 274 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 5: as particularly for politics, I'm not I'm not organizing. 275 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 2: I'm not doing. 276 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 5: Anything like that except for gathering voices who want to 277 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 5: learn who are organizing, and making sure. 278 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 2: We're supporting the people that are doing the work. 279 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 5: But I'm not gonna build a motherfucking thing for a 280 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 5: political party to then turn around and screw every fucking 281 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 5: thing that we built by the stupid ass shit that 282 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 5: come out of their mouths. So until there is a 283 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 5: reckoning within the Republican Party, until there is this conversation 284 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 5: at that level where it can be clearly shown that 285 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 5: we are a different fucking breed from these black faces 286 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 5: that they have been elevating, it becomes a constant with 287 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 5: us the need to make sure that we are standing 288 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 5: guard for what people are building on the ground. And 289 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 5: that's a damn shame that that has to become a 290 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 5: part of our overall tactical view. 291 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: But in an integral part to it, right, But my candidate, 292 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 1: that is so you've watched as far as on the 293 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: media side, you've watched from the very beginning. And so 294 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: just for folks who are listening, nobody elevated me in this. 295 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: I had to earn my way to this, and I 296 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: did it through the work. And I understand what you're saying, 297 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: But tell me what democrat has elevated me. You know, nobody, 298 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: and Sonny, no Democrat has put me on. No Democrat 299 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: has said, oh yeah, let me make sure they all 300 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: follow me, MSNBCCNN, whatever. I had to come through the 301 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: back door and before Fox News. Though, look at my 302 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: record on what I did locally in media. So I 303 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: built my name by sitting my ass on a talk 304 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: radio show locally at sixteen eighty four three, not making 305 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: a dollar four years. 306 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 2: So I hear. 307 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: But I want to give just a little bit of 308 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: pushback and hopefully to inspire people. I understand what you're saying. 309 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: What you're saying, I'm not going to elevate the Republican Party. 310 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: I'm not saying elevate the Republican Party. I'm saying, elevate 311 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: your work. I'm saying those who are out there, elevate 312 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: your work and your message. I did it, guys. No 313 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: daddy put me in this. I wasn't born in this. 314 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: My mom and did put me in this. The work 315 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: that I've done in Orlando, Florida, I used Orlando a 316 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: lot because it was a place where I was really 317 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: able to get my political chops, and nobody put me 318 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: on anything, whether it was I was in a city 319 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: where I didn't know anybody at all. I came from. 320 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: I didn't have a dollar in my pocket. I was 321 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: laid off. I was making two hundred plus dollars a 322 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: week on unemployment. I didn't have any family. I had 323 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: a toleran on my hip. I was going through a divorce. 324 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: I took my ass down to volunteer. Whether you like 325 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: the NAACP or not, I had to build those relationships. 326 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: I went down to the NAACP, Hey, how can I 327 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: get my hands dirty? I went down to the Urban 328 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: League Health, How can I help you? And then they said, well, 329 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: you know what, we got a convention coming up.

I worked on 382 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: redistricting and I worked on census, and we started a 383 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: show at the local televisions station for the Orange County 384 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: Legal and Voters, which was a show every single Sunday, 385 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,199 Speaker 1: and we brought them congress Woman and Corene Brown to 386 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: argue about redistricting.

So she cussed me out on the set, 391 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: and I still kept it moving. It was all based 392 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 1: on my work. Congresswoman Brown sent me to Congressional Black 393 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: Coffice because she heard me talking shit on sixteen eight. 394 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: So I can't I my record shows that I don't 395 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: agree with Well, you know, they elevate the elevator, other elevator. 396 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 2: Let them elevate them in. 397 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: Elevate what you're doing in your community and then connect 398 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: with people like Sonny that's willing to elevate it. You 399 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: don't have to push for the Republican Party, no more 400 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 1: than Democrats need to push for the Democrat. 401 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 2: I've never pushed for either one. I elevate me and 402 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 2: what I'm doing the work, the work. Let my work 403 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 2: speak for me. One hundred Agree what you're saying. 404 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 5: But what I'm talking about is the specific instances of what. 405 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 2: You have to deal with all the right. 406 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 5: So when I was doing that, right, when I was 407 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 5: in that space and I was going to organize, and 408 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,959 Speaker 5: I was, you know, trying to put the coalitions together, 409 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 5: when you get into. 410 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 2: These spaces with these black faces. 411 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 5: And this is not about other people elevating me specifically, 412 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 5: I'm talking about what the spectrum elevates, because I elevate 413 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,439 Speaker 5: a totally different group of people. So, but when you 414 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 5: get into these spaces and you hear the shit that 415 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 5: these people are talking about in these spaces, you realize 416 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,479 Speaker 5: it's no fun organize it in these spaces. Like I 417 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 5: literally got to the point where I was like in 418 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 5: some of these chambers. 419 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 2: In some of these commission groups, in somebody, like. 420 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 5: I got to the point where I was like, if 421 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 5: I remain in these spaces, I'm gonna fucking get arrested 422 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 5: because there is no way I could sit and listen 423 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 5: to these but don't be a part of the space. 424 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 5: I'm definitely and I'm and and and I moved out 425 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 5: of those spaces. And that's why I built the platform 426 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 5: that I have to elevate the people that. 427 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 2: Are doing the work and doing the work right. 428 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 5: But that's that's my point about is not to say 429 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 5: that I am mad that the other people are elevated. 430 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 5: My point is saying is those people with those elevated voices, 431 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 5: they fuck up the people that are doing the work. 432 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 2: What's my problem. This is what I'm saying, the people 433 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 2: that's doing the work. 434 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: If they are fucking up the people that's doing the work, 435 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: then this work ain't meant for you. 436 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 2: I'm gonna give it straight up. I want them to Yeah, 437 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 2: you're right, I want them to keep don't. I want 438 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 2: them to keep doing there. 439 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: And what I'm saying is, Sonny, we gotta have tough 440 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: talk with them, not like at yesterday. If you because 441 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: tell me the Democrat that elevated me, I went against 442 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders. I literally you saw this, Sonny. I filed 443 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: a lawsuit against Bernie Sanders, No, no, so, no Democrat, 444 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: no progressive, nobody. 445 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 2: I can count on two or three hands. 446 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: Literally one hand, the people that may elevate my voice. 447 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 2: But that took fifteen years of work. 448 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: So if people don't have fifteen years of work because 449 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: they're waiting on somebody elevating, then baby, it ain't forty. 450 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 2: I'm just getting it to you real. 451 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 5: But these people are doing the work, but people asking, 452 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 5: but they're not asked. 453 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 2: They're not asking for their voices to be elevated. 454 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 5: But my point is when we put ourselves in a 455 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 5: position to make sure we are elevating those voices. So 456 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 5: it's not contradictory anything that you and I are saying, 457 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 5: but specifically when it comes specifically when it comes to 458 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 5: the right, you know what I'm saying, like you are 459 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 5: on the left. 460 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 2: But the reason why I'm. 461 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 5: Saying, you know, but no, on the right, you don't 462 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 5: have an urban league. 463 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: On the right, you don't have but but but but 464 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: hold on, but wait though, Sonny, because I don't those 465 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: groups that I just mentioned, I criticize all of those groups. 466 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,719 Speaker 2: Those are not groups that I that I lean on 467 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 2: that I say. 468 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: Oh they're gonna urban, They're gonna When I talked about 469 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: the Urban League, I'm talking about doctor McCarthy at the 470 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: local level in Orlando, who I knew, who actually is 471 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: a conservative by the way. He was he's a conservative, 472 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: by the way. He was the president of the Urban League, 473 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 1: and he was trying to bring economic development to the 474 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: Urban League and show how a nonprofit doesn't have to 475 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 1: be a poor institution. So, just for clarity on that story, 476 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the National Urban League. 477 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 2: I'm talking about I got my ass up on the. 478 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: Local level and connected McCarthy, who is a staunch conservative 479 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: by the way, and he said, tes On, how can 480 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: you and I work together? And I said, I'm gonna 481 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: help you bring the volunteers together. Because the National Convention 482 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: was coming to Orlando and Barack Obama he was a 483 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: senator at the time, and John McCain. It was the 484 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: first time they were on the stage, and they couldn't 485 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: find anybody to volunteer for doctor McCarthy. You know why 486 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: they couldn't find anybody volunteer at doctor McCarthy's sonny, because 487 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: he was a conservative. So I went to the left, 488 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: the churches and all the people who did not like 489 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: Dr McCarthy and I said, trust me, trust that I'm 490 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 1: going to do right by these people. 491 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 2: And I did that. 492 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 1: I have a story for every single situation, and I 493 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 1: hear what you're saying, and I want you guys to know, 494 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: Sunny and I am very passionate, and we talk passionate. 495 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: We're not disagreeed.

Yes, if it's not meant for somebody 498 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: to hear your voice on a national level, and that's 499 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: what you're waiting here for, then you're in it for 500 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: the wrong reason. If somebody's not here, I criticize people 501 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: like this. I'm not criticized, but challenge them all the time. 502 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 2: Do the work. 503 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: It's a coincidence when somebody finds out what I do. 504 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 1: I'm not moving for this because I want somebody to 505 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:05,199 Speaker 1: hear me. Charlemagne talked about go back and listen to 506 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: what Charlemagne talked six years ago about people that went 507 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: on Fox News. He was very much in line with 508 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: people Win who said, if you go on Fox News, 509 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: you're a betrayal to black people. He didn't say this verbatim, 510 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: but he was listening to all of the Democrats that 511 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: told him that if you go on Fox News, you 512 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: are betraying black people. My relationship with Charlemagne didn't start yesterday. 513 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: It started in conversations over the years. How did I 514 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: get the conversation busting my ass? Be Nina turn up 515 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 1: working on the campaign when Charlemagne was the host for 516 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: Bernie Samders. The people on the team Sonny kept me, 517 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: did not want me to meet Charlemagne and Killer Mike. 518 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: They did everything to make sure we did not meet. 519 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: So this is why I can't get into where they 520 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 1: just keep you away. 521 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,719 Speaker 2: They did it to me. You've seen them do it. 522 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, let me let me finish this story because I 523 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: got to give this story of people. 524 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 2: To know how to move. I'm telling you how to move. 525 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: When she when Nina Turner went to the breakfast, I said, 526 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 1: let me make sure I go with you. I told Schamann, 527 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 1: when you're gonna have somebody on to talk about, how 528 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: why I go to Fox News and why that is 529 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: why that's important to go over the other space. Why 530 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: when you're gonna have me on, you know, son of 531 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: you and I turb at that time when you're gonna 532 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: have me on so I can show you that rappers 533 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: are actually more conservative than you think. When you gonna 534 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: have me on to time to have the conversation to 535 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,239 Speaker 1: talk about how they don't want to pay taxes, how 536 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: they believe in a second amendment, how they believe it. 537 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: When you're gonna have me on, charge may totally ignored 538 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: me for years every week, Where are you gonna do that. 539 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 2: Space to get distracted? 540 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: And I gotta get this to the organized so they 541 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 1: can know real receipts come with this, because people always say, 542 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: all it's easy for you to say because you got elevator. 543 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 2: No, this took work. This took four or five years. 544 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: It was a time when I would text him I 545 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: wouldn't get a response at all. Then it went to 546 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: get a response maybe two months. Then it went from 547 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: maybe he may respond back every two or three weeks. 548 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: Then it went from once a week, and then it 549 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: went from daily ten twenty times a day. If people 550 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: don't have the consistency to do the work, the consistency 551 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: to do all the shit that everybody say they ain't 552 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: gonna do, and what I ain't got time to do, 553 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: and what I will not be and all of it, 554 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: and they don't want to roll up their sleeze and 555 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: they don't want to do the volunteer work and they 556 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:13,919 Speaker 1: don't want to. I ain't gonna caiss they asked. I'm 557 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: not gonna keep a relationship when they do all of that. 558 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: You miss the opportunity. And but but I appreciate the 559 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: opportunity being missed because it tells me they're INNY for 560 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: the wrong reason. 561 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 2: It work if you are conservative and you believe in 562 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 2: what you believe in. 563 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: If you are a democratic, if you believe in what 564 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 1: you're believing, it's not about elevating and wanting everybody to 565 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,199 Speaker 1: hear you. You do what you're supposed to do. So 566 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,360 Speaker 1: that is why when it's getting done, you can say 567 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: job well done. So that's a moment. 568 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 5: Oh, this is what I'm specifically talking about. 569 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 2: On the right. Right, these people are doing the work right. 570 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 5: They're not asking to be elevated. So again we're not 571 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 5: disagreeing on this, They're not asking to be elevated. The 572 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 5: problem is that they have to combat what the other 573 00:25:58,800 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 5: people are saved. 574 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 2: So I'm not black or Juneteenth, is you know what 575 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 2: I'm saying? Like that kind of narrative that comes now 576 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 2: they have to like to clarify why even ask the question, okay. 577 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 5: Because the people hold on one second because and this 578 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 5: is and this is and this is for me. 579 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 2: What I have been doing specifically. 580 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 5: For the last maybe three years is counseling for a 581 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 5: lot of these black conservatives that are on the ground 582 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 5: that are doing the work right, because what they have 583 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 5: to constantly come up against is any kind anytime they 584 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 5: have real ideas or real solutions for problems that are 585 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 5: that that come up that are being faced, they have 586 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 5: to go back to stupid ass conversations like do you 587 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,239 Speaker 5: really have to make it black centric or does it 588 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 5: really have like dumb ass ship. 589 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 1: But that's the part of the ways, that's the part 590 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: of it I have to combat, and that's part of it. 591 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 2: That's it is. It is truly a part of it. 592 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 5: And that's why I said the reason for having people 593 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 5: like you and I in positions is that we can 594 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 5: look and we can understand what they're going through and 595 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 5: still tell them. Because I tell every single one of them, 596 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 5: what the fuck you thought this was easy? 597 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 2: You thought it was gonna be a cake walk. You 598 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 2: thought you walk or run up into this shit. 599 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 5: And matter of fact, every time I do a space 600 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 5: on here, I preface that space the start of that space, 601 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 5: like for you that are coming in, I am going 602 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 5: to tell you what the fuck you get ready to 603 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 5: walk into. So you know, not so you are scared, 604 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,679 Speaker 5: not so you are dissuaged from doing it. So you 605 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 5: like not so you have fear, just so you are 606 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 5: armed so when you go in, you are able to 607 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 5: fight this shit in a way that is effective and efficient. 608 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 2: So it is definitely not It. 609 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 5: Is definitely a kick in the ass to say the 610 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 5: work still has to be done right, the duties still 611 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 5: have to be met.

And it's not gonna 614 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 5: be easy that shit. That shit is hard, and it 615 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,479 Speaker 5: don't happen overnight. It really takes work.

I get it, man, Sonny, by me 705 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: getting up and speaking that they're rather than people made 706 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: this records about me, rap records, lame records. By the way, 707 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: I'm Sonny and our poets just in case y'all don't know, 708 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: we can't get on this mike. But they made rap 709 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: records about me, They talked about me, they made youtubes 710 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 1: about this. Ain't the first time somebody made youtubes and 711 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: wrap so they do this all the time. This is 712 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: a part of it. It's a part of it, and 713 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: I get it from every single side. Every side seriously 714 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: every side, Denise, you wanted to clarify with why you 715 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: asked the question, No, I appreciate it. 716 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 4: So while there was such richness there, so I didn't 717 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 4: ask the question because I am trying to be amplified. 718 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 4: I asked the question because the reality is that political 719 00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 4: messaging and the common narrative right impact. 720 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 2: Political will. 721 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 4: Because most people don't actually critically think about the information 722 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 4: and assess it and validate it and fact check it. 723 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 4: They digest what most people say and they give credibility 724 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 4: to that. And just to amplify the idea that I'm 725 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 4: not trying to be heard, I started out with the 726 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 4: Republican Party doing Obama's administration, and part of the reason 727 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 4: they were attractive to attracted to me and asked me 728 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 4: to be a delegate here in the Saint Louis area 729 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 4: is because I was calling them on their shit in 730 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 4: the rooms where it was talking about the good old 731 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 4: days and back when we was able to, you know, 732 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 4: decide for ourselves and state rights and all that kind 733 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 4: of stuff. It was ironic to me. But also part 734 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 4: of the reason that I declined the offer is because 735 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 4: I started to question, you know, what does it mean 736 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 4: to be a conservative because I think we're coming from 737 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 4: this at different places. I maybe should have persisted, but 738 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 4: the bigotry that I was getting in my inbox about 739 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 4: Barack Obama really turned me off. I got into this 740 00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 4: work because I started writing articles and I started talking 741 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 4: in my local area and being the same deniche. 742 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 3: That I am right now. 743 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 4: I was probably a little quieter then because a lot 744 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 4: of shit has been put on my plate since then 745 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 4: and now, so it amplifies my I don't give a 746 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 4: fuck about how you feel about what I say. But 747 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 4: I started writing articles. I started writing on Daily cause 748 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,879 Speaker 4: I started when Michael Brown was murdered and some other 749 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 4: things had happened. I started writing on LinkedIn articles that 750 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 4: didn't get addressed because everybody on LinkedIn trying to get 751 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 4: a job. They're not trying to speak the words that 752 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 4: need to be spoken. People didn't always interact with what 753 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 4: I said, but people with DM me in DM me 754 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 4: and tell me they read it, or my friends would 755 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 4: be like, that's a crazy ass message. 756 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 2: It needs to be stated. 757 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,319 Speaker 4: So I wrote the things that I wrote because the 758 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 4: words needed to be in the room and people needed 759 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 4: to chew on it, and the questions that I was posing. 760 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 4: I felt like needed to be posed because the common 761 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,279 Speaker 4: narrative wasn't working for me and it wasn't working for 762 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 4: my people. So I didn't start out this work at 763 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 4: all trying to be noticed. I started this work to 764 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 4: change means the common narrative because the way they was 765 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 4: talking about our country and our people was just not 766 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,879 Speaker 4: working for me. So ultimately, my writing and shouting into 767 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 4: the wind got noticed because I started getting invited to 768 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 4: do things, and I started making relationships with people who said, 769 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,240 Speaker 4: you have an important voice and it needs to be heard. 770 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 2: So can I ask you this? Can I ask you this? 771 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: You started out to change the narrative. I'm asking you 772 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 1: if you never change the narrative, are you going to 773 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 1: keep talking? 774 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 4: But see, the narrative has already been changed. 775 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 1: Oh let me just absolutely, let me ask you keep talking, 776 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 1: because that's what that's that's all it is. The narrative 777 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 1: haven't been changed overall, because that's what Sonny's saying. The 778 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: narrative have been changed. And my only point is if 779 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: it never changes, if it never changes, will you keep talking? 780 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: Your only job is to keep talking? And at point 781 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 1: is because that's the only point, because if we zoned 782 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 1: in on, But I want to change the narrative, are 783 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:52,799 Speaker 1: I My goal is to get people to see this 784 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,439 Speaker 1: other way.

Y'all better be sleepy 915 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: Joe's comment section on The Breakfast Club. If not, you failed, 916 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,640 Speaker 1: and I'm bringing to your attention that you failed once again. 917 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 2: You failed to test the needs that you want to 918 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,520 Speaker 2: finish something up, And I'm gonna add my hand. 919 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 4: No, I was just I was just clarifying the point 920 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 4: that you were making about continuing to do in the 921 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 4: work when nobody's listening, and I was just saying, I 922 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:51,720 Speaker 4: can't stop talking about it because the words won't stop. 923 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:56,799 Speaker 4: And so even when nobody's listening, I have to talk 924 00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 4: about it because the words won't stop. And I think 925 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:03,359 Speaker 4: there's some kind of edict or saying or expression that 926 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 4: the thing that you are called to do is the 927 00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 4: thing that you can't put down. So yeah, i could 928 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 4: have had a cushy job in corporate America doing human 929 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,399 Speaker 4: resources with the doctor degree and all of those types 930 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 4: of things, but I've always been called to address the 931 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,600 Speaker 4: ways that's the messaging and the narrative and the activation 932 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,640 Speaker 4: wasn't quite right for Black Americans. So thank you for 933 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 4: all that you have done and for being an example 934 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,480 Speaker 4: of what it looks like to be driven by purpose 935 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,200 Speaker 4: even when nobody is looking. Because when you do that, 936 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:37,719 Speaker 4: people automatically do get attracted to it, pay attention, and 937 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 4: it becomes a normalizing thing. And yes, we ain't done yet, 938 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 4: and we'll keep doing the work. 939 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 2: Thank you. Right, And even if it's even if we 940 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:46,040 Speaker 2: never normalize it. 941 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:47,520 Speaker 1: See, that's why I keep want to speak to that 942 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,200 Speaker 1: because I want to inspire people to say, if it's 943 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,280 Speaker 1: not normalized, keep talking. 944 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,840 Speaker 2: Don't worry about it becoming normalized. Let's just keep talking. 945 00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 1: Let's just let it be weird as hell, Let's let 946 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,319 Speaker 1: it be not morm You know what I'm say.

That's all I came up to say. 1167 00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,640 Speaker 6: I just wanted to give attestation to the fact that 1168 00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:03,040 Speaker 6: you that's all mm hmm. 1169 00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:07,239 Speaker 1: And and and even just clear, it's even clear. Like 1170 00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:11,160 Speaker 1: I again, I run a communications firm, so it's it's 1171 00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,759 Speaker 1: they definitely make you greater, but they also you're I mean, 1172 00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:15,920 Speaker 1: they're literally doing the job that I want them to do. 1173 00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:17,439 Speaker 2: I really want y'all to know. 1174 00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:22,800 Speaker 1: That, like, and I mean that literally literally if anybody 1175 00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:27,160 Speaker 1: is too dumb to know that you elevating that interview 1176 00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:30,479 Speaker 1: on a show that is provocative and that's their job 1177 00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:36,319 Speaker 1: to elevate conversations and you elevating it literally is doing 1178 00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:41,359 Speaker 1: iHeart a favor. It's interesting not him and I. And 1179 00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:42,960 Speaker 1: it's because most of the people who are in the 1180 00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,040 Speaker 1: comment section on YouTube, they don't watch the show, so 1181 00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:48,680 Speaker 1: I guess they don't know Charlemagne's background. But that's literally 1182 00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:51,200 Speaker 1: what he does, and the in the sense and the 1183 00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:55,239 Speaker 1: sense of everywhere, Like literally, it's not a day that 1184 00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,840 Speaker 1: goes by that somebody say that they don't like what 1185 00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:00,239 Speaker 1: you do on his own show. When I do the 1186 00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:02,440 Speaker 1: frontation news people talk and trash him all the time. 1187 00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:04,760 Speaker 2: It's literally a part. 1188 00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:08,560 Speaker 1: Of the strategy, like in the literal sense. So it's 1189 00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:13,440 Speaker 1: just so hilarious that they actually think that their disdain 1190 00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:15,719 Speaker 1: with me is not a good thing. It's a good 1191 00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:19,000 Speaker 1: thing because it shows that I'm powerful. It shows that 1192 00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,360 Speaker 1: I have a lot of power. That's what it shows. 1193 00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,879 Speaker 1: It shows that I'm influential. It shows that my one 1194 00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:28,800 Speaker 1: little word triggers you enough to go sign in YouTube 1195 00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,359 Speaker 1: and not just watch it because everybody else, Because if 1196 00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:33,920 Speaker 1: I didn't matter, you would just scroll past it. What 1197 00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,239 Speaker 1: makes you stop and actually write something? What makes you 1198 00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:41,080 Speaker 1: stop and go create another video about it? In another 1199 00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,000 Speaker 1: video about it, another video about it? Why are you 1200 00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:46,719 Speaker 1: listening to the sound of my voice right now? That's 1201 00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:48,439 Speaker 1: what I do. That's what I do. 1202 00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:49,440 Speaker 2: Stare up the. 1203 00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:56,640 Speaker 1: Conversation, stare the pot and now your opposition has now 1204 00:54:56,719 --> 00:55:01,040 Speaker 1: heard it because the big deal folks, and I look 1205 00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:07,360 Speaker 1: forward to Ron or Chris Christie. I'm betting Chris Christy 1206 00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:10,560 Speaker 1: Trump if he makes it to the debate. But Chris 1207 00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:15,200 Speaker 1: Christie is absolutely gonna bring up the fact that you 1208 00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:19,880 Speaker 1: just voted three years ago. So that was really my 1209 00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,680 Speaker 1: only job.
