It's it's insane that that the parole 453 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 15: rate is for somebody who's going to molest and rape 454 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 15: children is high than some who's going to use and 455 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 15: sell drugs. It's something very similar to that, and it 456 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 15: just really undermines I hope that the people of New York, 457 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 15: if I'm assuming that's where you're from, against that. It's 458 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 15: just it is counter to everything that this country stands for. 459 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 15: And they're they're destroying the communities for a small few, 460 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 15: and people vote for This blows. 461 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 5: Them and Texas is a red steak.

But this is a very important topic. 466 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 6: And you know what, we have children like I wouldnt 467 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 6: want one of my sons going to jail wrongfully, you know, yeah, 468 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 6: being treated like that, and you know, it's just a 469 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 6: really it's it's sad. 470 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 2: What a lot of these people go through the weaponization 471 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 2: of the system. It's it's they just they come after you. 472 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 2: They're relentless and they just don't stop. They don't stop. 473 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 6: But we have this awesome podcast now which we're going 474 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 6: to debut on Saturday, So we'll let you guys explain 475 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 6: that and then it'll be Wednesdays after that. 476 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,880 Speaker 12: Yeah, for sure, this podcast came to be because it's 477 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 12: not just our prison system, but it's our court system 478 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 12: as well that absolutely needs to be reformed. One and 479 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 12: four Americans are affected by the incarceration. System in America 480 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 12: is supposed to be this beacon of hope and unfortunately 481 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 12: we have one of the worst prison systems in the world. 482 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 12: It's literally ran like a third world country. As Shane 483 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 12: said earlier on one of the podcasts, it's ninety four 484 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 12: degrees today in Texas and there's no ac in these 485 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 12: Texas prisons. You wouldn't treat the animal this way, and 486 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 12: so it's something that the right doesn't want to talk about. 487 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 12: It's not a prison reform is a very democratic thing. 488 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 12: But I think that we have this beautiful thing with 489 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 12: January sixth defendants that endured this very corrupt system that 490 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 12: was rigged against them, to now cross the aisle and 491 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 12: work with Democrats and liberals per say, in this instant 492 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 12: where there needs to be true reform that happens in 493 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 12: our prison system, and we now have a administration that 494 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 12: is friendly to this. I have spoken to someone very 495 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 12: close to President Trump that has said that this is 496 00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 12: very near and dear to his heart. And so now 497 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 12: it's for people like us, not only January sixth defendants 498 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 12: in their advocates, but anybody that has been infected by 499 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 12: this incarceration system, by the just the weaponization of justice 500 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 12: across the board. Individuals are overcharged and over punished, and 501 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 12: we as Republicans sit back and say, oh, well, if 502 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 12: they were charged with the crime, then they must have 503 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 12: done it, and that's just not the case. And the 504 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 12: majority of things I used to laugh at inmates that said, 505 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 12: oh I'm innocent. That was before I had unfortunately experienced this, 506 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 12: and these are still American citizens that have rights, and 507 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 12: these prison guards and these wardens and these the Federal 508 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,360 Speaker 12: Bureau of Prisons in general just looks at them as 509 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 12: trash and they aren't contributing members of society when they 510 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 12: come back out. So our recidivism rate is over forty percent. 511 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 12: It's just very sad, and it's an overlooked thing that 512 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 12: we as Americans have to come together on both sides 513 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,199 Speaker 12: of the aisle to create true reform. 514 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 9: Well, I think most of the prisons are privately owned, 515 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 9: so that's a big business too. They don't mind the 516 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 9: recidivism apparently, And you know, I don't know who's watching 517 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 9: The Watchman. 518 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:01,199 Speaker 10: You know. 519 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 9: I always think of Shawshank redemption and how Hollywood always 520 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 9: seems to mirror life and people do land up in 521 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 9: jail wrongfully. And I'm all for people being treated with 522 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 9: dignity no matter what you've done in the world. But 523 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 9: it's a slippery slope. I think, just like these legislations 524 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 9: and laws, like, how. 525 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 3: Are we going to do it? 526 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 10: What are we going? How are you going to write 527 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 10: these things without going too far? 528 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,360 Speaker 6: I don't want to before we go, because we got 529 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 6: to go to commercial in a couple of seconds. Can 530 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 6: we bring up announcement number four and just show the flyer. 531 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 6: I'm sorry, I just want to see that before we 532 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 6: cut out.

She wants to see the 581 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 8: great things we're doing in Massapequa. And then she made 582 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 8: a great announcement that said, the Department of Education has 583 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 8: invest to gated New York State and they are this 584 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 8: this regulation banning you know, mascots. And they found that 585 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 8: this was a discrimination, that they're discriminating against Native Americans 586 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 8: based on nation of origin and race, and it's a 587 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 8: Title six violation of the Civil Rights Act and that 588 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 8: they must immediately stop and pull away this this regulation. 589 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,120 Speaker 14: And they said, issue an apology. 590 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: Congratulations. 591 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 7: I do have a cut of Linda's speech if we 592 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 7: could bring up cut ten just to show the audience 593 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 7: what we're talking about. M it's a little long carry, 594 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 7: so bear with us. 595 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 4: I tried to cut it, but. 596 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 16: The Department I was absolutely asked by the President himself. 597 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 16: He said, look, I need for you to look into 598 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 16: this because I think this is wrong. Now what's happening 599 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 16: in Masupequa to take away this incredible mascot and emblem 600 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 16: of chiefs? And it was first put forth kind of 601 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 16: knocking us a little bit that this was a First 602 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 16: Amendment case. Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a First 603 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 16: Amendment case. This is a Title six civil rights case. 604 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 16: That is the way we approached it. That's exactly right. 605 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 16: So what we have done at the Department of Education, 606 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 16: through our Office of Civil Rights, is to investigate this issue. 607 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 16: We wanted to find out is there some underlying problem 608 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 16: that we need to address, And we absolutely did find 609 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 16: that this is a civil rights violation here in Massapequa. 610 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 16: I mean, if you look at the states, We've got 611 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 16: the Huguenots, we've got the Highlanders, we've got the Scotsman. 612 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 16: So why is that not considered in any way, you know, racist? 613 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 16: I think you have to treat everybody equally, and this 614 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 16: is a racist environment where we are saying that this 615 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,679 Speaker 16: emblem and this mascot has to be removed. So the 616 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 16: Office of Civil Rights has that finding. We are prepared 617 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 16: to offer to the state Board of Education and to 618 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 16: the Board of Regents to say, we would like to 619 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 16: have you voluntarily come sign the resolution that would allow 620 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 16: the chiefs to continue, and we would we think it's 621 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 16: a very good resolution for them to do. Now, if 622 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 16: they refuse to do that, well they'll have ten days. 623 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 16: If they refuse after those ten days, they'll have another 624 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 16: time period in which to comply, and if they don't, 625 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 16: then we reserve the right to turn over this investigation 626 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 16: to the Department of Justice, because that's how serious we. 627 00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 5: Are about this. 628 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 16: And so I'm you know, I will, I will invite 629 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 16: you know, those folks to I'm not come forward here now, 630 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 16: but we are expecting action, you know, very quickly. And 631 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 16: that's that's what we are bringing to the school, to 632 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 16: the county to say to Massapequa, the president took this seriously. 633 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 3: We are taking it seriously. 634 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 16: We won't stand for civil rights violations relative to any 635 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 16: of our public school systems. So I thank you for 636 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 16: your attention. 637 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 5: You know, to to this today. 638 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 16: And if we have the resolution you know that's ready, 639 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 16: at some point, we will be asking that this request 640 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 16: to remove the mascot be taken off the table, will 641 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 16: ask for an apology to be issued to Massapequa, and 642 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 16: we will also ask that the Board of Education will 643 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 16: also permit any county, any school in the state, to 644 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 16: choose its mascots. Very simple requirements, but these are demands 645 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 16: that we will make. We think they're reasonable. We'd like 646 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 16: to really settle this in a very amicable fashion with 647 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 16: the resolution, but we're certainly prepared to go deeper if 648 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 16: we must. So thank you very very much. 649 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 4: Sorry, We're so proud of you. 650 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: Guys, you're beaming, You're absolutely beaming. 651 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 14: I can't even believe this is happening, but yeah, it is. 652 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 14: It is just so exciting. And you know, it's like, 653 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 14: you know what. 654 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 8: I said, you know, even in my speech, is that 655 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 8: we knew you were doing the right thing. You have 656 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 8: to stand up for your beliefs. You cannot back down, 657 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 8: because that's how this state operates. It operates using fear, 658 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 8: and they tell you must do this otherwise you're a racist. 659 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 8: You must do this, or we're going to take your funding. 660 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 8: You must do this, or we're going to take your seats. 661 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 8: And unfortunately, many of the other districts just folded in fear. 662 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 8: And even the ones that partially stood up, you know 663 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 8: again they're always worried about, oh, you don't want to 664 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 8: lose our seats. Well, that's not what this is about 665 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 8: your You got to stand up your community. It's not 666 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 8: about your seat, it's about your community.
