23
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: this thing, this game that we call politics. I want

24
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: to talk about this week. I want you guys to

25
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: understand what is happening with this tough on crime, this

26
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: new messaging that you are going to see increase even

27
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: more between now and two twenty four, not just with

28
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: the presidential election, because you guys know that I'm very

29
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: much about making sure that you stay focused on hyperlocal,

30
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: which means state representatives, not US senator, but state senator,

31
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: state representative, city council, city mission, or mayor and so forth.

32
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: It is really, really, really critically important that you pay

33
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: attention to those local races because it really does affect

34
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: your everyday life and you are going to see a

35
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: lot of changes that will possibly come down the pipe,

36
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: and I want you to be prepared. If you have

37
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: been following me for any any period of time, then

38
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: you know, when Joe Biden was running for office, I

39
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: talked about how I knew that Crime Bill two point

40
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: zero would eventually rear its ugly head and be back

41
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: something that we have to deal with. And what's so

42
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: funny about that is, you know I said that not

43
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: knowing that Corona would you know, the the offset, if

44
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: you will, of Corona, that crime would go up because

45
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: obviously when people are not working and they're not making money,

46
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: there tends to be more violence, more crime. But I

47
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: had said that warned many people before to pay attention

48
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: to the crime bill two point old. That is surely

49
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: more than likely going to come put a three in

50
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: the chat. If you remember me saying something like that,

51
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: because I stayed on Joe Biden constantly about that. I

52
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: understood that he was a placeholder for Trump. But at

53
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: the same time, it's important two things can be true

54
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: at one time. You can want to get Trump out

55
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 1: and not be the biggest fan of Biden, but also

56
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 1: understand what it is that we're up against and the

57
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: things that we have to be mindful for. And these

58
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: things happen at the local level. They happen at the

59
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: local and the state and then the federal. A lot

60
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: of you guys get really caught up on this presidential stuff,

61
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,119
Speaker 1: but I really want you to pay attention to what's

62
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: happening locally. So I'm going to address a couple of

63
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: things with you today on this tough on crime thing,

64
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: and just so you can pay attention and follow along

65
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: on as you see these new races that will come

66
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: up local, especially you know on the spring that's usually

67
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: when you'll see mayor races a state. You'll see a

68
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: lot of primaries for state legislators. You'll see county commissioners

69
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,839
Speaker 1: and so forth. And so I want you to pay attention. Now.

70
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: I've realized that on my people that follow me, I

71
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: have a very diverse group of people that follow me,

72
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: which I love, and I'm talking particularly about I G.

73
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: If you're not on my page, please jump in, please

74
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: jump in the comments. And also IG family, make sure

75
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: you're on my YouTube channel because sometimes, as you know,

76
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,679
Speaker 1: I've been put in jail, in IG jail several times,

77
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: and I want to be able to still reach you.

78
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: So the one reason why I put out certain topics

79
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: is because I like to see I like to get

80
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: a gauge of how people feel about certain things in politics.

81
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: We called the pole. Now pole is just a sample.

82
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 1: It's just a sample. It's just a taste. If I say, oh,

83
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: let me taste a little bit of this, wee would

84
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: take a pie, I see if you can really cook.

85
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: It's just a little taste of it. It's not the

86
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: entire pie. It's not ever to be exclusive. It is

87
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: not ever to be UM all inclusive. All black men

88
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: feel this way, all black women feel this way, all

89
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: black people feel this way. But I like to put

90
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: the sample. I like to put different conversations topics out

91
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: there because I like to see your responses now on

92
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: my IG. For those of you that don't know, um

93
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: ig actually gives you analytics. If you have a professional page,

94
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: it actually gives you analytics. And so my page is

95
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 1: set up under a professional business page. And so I

96
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: know who the majority of people are on my page,

97
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: and I'm very proud because it is very diverse. The

98
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: top five cities, and there's people that follow me from everywhere,

99
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: but the top five cities are always either New York, Chicago,

100
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: La Houston, or let's see what's the fifth one, um

101
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: New yor okay, I'll or New York, Chicago, La Houston.

102
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: It's a fifth one. And I'm remembering, did I say Chicago? Okay?

103
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: So when I look at those five cities, it's so

104
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: interesting because and I'm giving you guys know that I

105
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: like to teach. As I talk in politics, there's there's

106
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,239
Speaker 1: it's there's a lot. When you're able to galvanize people

107
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: from different regions, because typically conversation shift as you go

108
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: through those different regions. So when I look at my page,

109
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: I see that I have New York that is the

110
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: East coast, which is typically very liberal, when I have

111
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: la that is the West coast, which is in politics

112
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: considered very far left. And just sen you're in California

113
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you're far left. I'm just telling you what

114
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: the consensus is in Houston, which some people will say

115
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: Houston is a south I kind of categorize it as

116
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: a Southwest. So you do have some conservative values, not

117
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: necessarily Republicans that may follow me, but may be conservative values,

118
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: but still some progressives as well. And then you have Atlanta,

119
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: who is one of my top five cities, who is

120
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: literally in the south, and you have a mix of

121
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: you know, progressives because Killer Mike follows me, a lot

122
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: of people that follow Killer Mike also follow me, and

123
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: that is in the south. And then you have Chicago

124
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: that is in the midwest. So when I look at that,

125
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 1: we literally on my agen page have a nice, you

126
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: know sample of what people feel throughout the country and

127
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,119
Speaker 1: the age demographic. Although I have people who are eighteen

128
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: to twenty five, and I have people who are older

129
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: than fifty four, but the age demographic on the AG

130
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: page is twenty five to fifty four. Now, for those

131
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: of you that don't know, in advertisement, that is called

132
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: the top demo. It is the top demo between twenty

133
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: five and fifty four, because that is literally what advertisers

134
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: go after because they're typically the biggest consumers. The ages

135
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: younger usually too young to consume anything, and the older

136
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: older than fifty five are usually going into retirement and

137
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: there may not be as big as consumers. So if

138
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: you look at demographics, if you want to say, hey,

139
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: how many people watch spots to news, there's gonna be

140
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: two categories all viewers meaning everybody of all ages, and

141
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: then there's gonna be the top demo, which is twenty

142
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: five to fifty four. So on my page, not only

143
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: do we have the top demo the majority of top demo,

144
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: but we also have five front regions. So I like

145
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: to throw out different topics, whether it be stuff that

146
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: you guys may or may not agree with, whether it's LGBT,

147
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: whether it's tough on crime, whether it's healthcare, whether it's relationships,

148
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: all of that, because I actually do read the comments.

149
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: I like to kind of skim through and see what

150
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: you guys are looking looking. Talking about another thing I'm

151
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: proud about on my page is we are literally like

152
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: fifty fifty men and women. Sometimes it's forty nine percent

153
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: men fifty one percent women. I mean, it's literally like

154
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: fifty fifty. And I couldn't ask for a better group

155
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: if I had to, if I was hired to do

156
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: a pole, I couldn't ask for a better group. Because

157
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: my ag page literally is reflective of a perfect balance

158
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: of gender, age and also geographic. Are you following me?

159
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: So with that said, and when I'm throwing out these

160
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: different topics and you guys are going in, I do

161
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,599
Speaker 1: appreciate it because it does get kind of give me

162
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: an idea of where people are. And as I'm comment

163
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: or organizing or working with different people, I actually do,

164
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: you know, reference what I see you know from my comments. Now, again,

165
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: this can be fake people that could be trolls, bots, whatever,

166
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: but for the most part, I can kind of get

167
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: an idea of who's a real person and who's being sincere.

168
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: And also want you guys to know, I'm very proud

169
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: of my page has folks who have who lean conservative

170
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: and also liberal and progressive, and that's very important. You

171
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: don't want to be in an echo chamber where everybody

172
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: thinks the same, talks the same, has the same opinion

173
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: on everything. Somebody asked me last week, well, how do

174
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: you know what their political party is? And I said,

175
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm not looking at their political party because I don't

176
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: know if you are if you are a democratic Republican.

177
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: But what I mean by ideology, it means that I

178
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: can tell, based upon the positions you take on certain comments,

179
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: if you lean conservative ideology or liberal ideology. Let me

180
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: explain the two difference, because I don't want to assume

181
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: that you know, and for those who do know, just

182
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: bear with me. Like to teach as I talk. You

183
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: can have a conservative ideology and not be a Republican.

184
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: You can have a liberal ideology and not be a Democrat.

185
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: So you have political party, which is how you decide

186
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: to vote, and then you have an ideology what I

187
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: call a lens. How you see life? Do you see

188
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: life through a conservative lens? Do you see life through

189
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: a liberal lens? How do you see life? Now? If

190
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: you believe just giving an example, if you believe that

191
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 1: marriage is only between a man and a woman, and

192
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: you are not in favor of LGBT empowerment or of

193
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: life men or same sex marriage, then you see life

194
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: through a conservative lens on that issue. It also doesn't

195
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: mean that you may see life through a conservative lens

196
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: on that issue. But then when it comes to police reform,

197
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: you may be one to believe that, hey, we need

198
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: to actually prepare people to look to crime, which means

199
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: invest in mental health, which means invest in jobs, invest

200
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: in entrepreneurship, invest in after school programs to prevent crime.

201
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: And then you also may believe that when somebody commits

202
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 1: a crime, it doesn't mean that they have to get

203
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: the death penalty for selling weed. So in that area

204
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: you may lean more liberal or progressive, but you can

205
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: lean as a conservative lens when it comes to LGBT

206
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: or vice versa. And I'm using it as an example

207
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: because that's been a lot of the topics lately and

208
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of diverse, you know, opinions on that.

209
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: So I want you to, you know, kind of you know,

210
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: get a very clear difference on how you see life.

211
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: And what happens is when you guys are commenting and

212
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: Let's say you you you are against same sex marriage,

213
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: and so somebody in the comments may assume that you

214
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: are a Republican or may assume that you are Trump

215
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: a Trump supporter, and that may not be it at all.

216
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: You just may lean conservatively when it comes to the

217
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: issue of marriage or vice versa. Because I support one

218
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: thing on the liberal side, you think that I'm all

219
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: in for Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden, and that may

220
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: not be the case. So this is why I call

221
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: myself an independent. In the state that I'm registered in,

222
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: you do not have to decide if you want to

223
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: be a Democratic Republican n team you actually go to

224
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: the polls, So I do not have to um be

225
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: a Democrat a Republican year round like you do. In

226
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: some states like Florida, you need to be able to

227
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: register either a Democrat a Republican before the primary. So

228
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: I have the pleasure of saying I'm an independent through

229
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: and through, which means I don't have to align myself

230
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: for the political party before until I vote, or don't

231
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: until if I decide I want to vote in that primary.

232
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: I also do not have to register as one or

233
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: the other. And my ideology my lens that I look through.

234
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: I see things on a case by case basis. It's

235
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: not I'm not all in zero sum on either side

236
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: of the aisle, because issues are complex. Each one is

237
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: different and they're they're they're different, you know, different layers

238
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: to it. But I will say that if I said

239
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: I leaned more one way than the other, if we

240
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: were to put a line down the middle and enlisted

241
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: all of my issues on one side and the other,

242
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: then I would say that I lean more on the

243
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: liberal side. But that does not mean that I carry

244
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: a badge that says, hey, I am a liberal or

245
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: neoliberal like progressives say, or progressive who I think progressive

246
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: sometimes are way too far left for me. So I

247
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: tend to be in the middle. And so the reason

248
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: why you get that type of no problem. Okay, run again,

249
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: you guys. I'm reading your comments as i'm talking, because

250
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: you know, I love to engage you in my conversation.

251
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 1: The reason why I laid all of that out is

252
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: because I want to talk to you about tough on

253
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: crime and what you're about to see in twenty twenty four,

254
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: and some of you that may be very much against

255
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: LGBT issues. I want to make sure that you have

256
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: the knowledge and the understanding to be able to decipher

257
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: your issues separate and apart from what is about to happen.

258
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: And let me be clear when I say this, A

259
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: lot of you are not fans of Lori Lightfoot, who

260
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: just lost reelection in Chicago. And you may not be

261
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: a fan of her because of her push for LGBT issues.

262
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: You may not be a fan of her because maybe

263
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: she not only pushes the LGBT issues, but she is

264
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: a lesbian. You may not be a fan of her

265
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: because maybe you think she's too far left. Fine, you

266
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: have the right to your opinion. But what I do

267
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: not want you to get confused with is number one misinformation.

268
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: I understand she was trash. That's fine. We'll get to

269
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: that in a second. I'm speaking right now speaking to

270
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: those who lay conservatively who may not agree with her

271
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: because of her push for LGBT issues. So just bear

272
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: with me. She may be trash, but that's not what

273
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. Just ride with me, and as we

274
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: get through this whole commentary, it's gonna make sense in

275
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: a minute. I'm talking about those who are not in

276
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: support of her because of the LGBT concerns. I have

277
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: a lot of I connect with a lot of different

278
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: folks who are out there in this space, and when

279
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: people name dropped me, people come follow me, or when

280
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: they see me work with somebody on a project, they

281
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: follow me. So as a result of that, I have

282
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: a very mixed group of folks. So just bear with

283
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: me as we get through it. And some of the

284
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: folks that support me are very much against what they

285
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: call an LGBT agenda, So I have to be able

286
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: to and as you're running for office, or when you

287
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: decide to run for office or want to be an organizer,

288
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: if you ever want to work in this space, you

289
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: do have to understand to talk to different constituencies because

290
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: they're not all the same, and so you have to

291
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: try to address different constituencies. So right now I'm not

292
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: talking to those that just don't like RYL Lightfoot because

293
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: of how she handled her administration. I am talking about

294
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: out those who are against LGBT issues and have a

295
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: problem with her because again, and I don't have to

296
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: name drop, a lot of people here support me who

297
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: also support other commentators who are very much against what

298
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: they call an LGBT agenda. So I want to point

299
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: this out on those folks, and we can get into

300
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: how she handled her administration in a moment, but this

301
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: is the main thing that I want you guys to get.

302
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: For those who are against LGBT issues, I get it.

303
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: I know that is your issue. I know that your concern.

304
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: You have every right to be, but I do want

305
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: you to know that there is a bigger play that

306
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: is not only happening in just Chicago, which is very segregated.

307
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: Shout out to my Chicago family in the building. I

308
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: actually lived in Chicago for about a year and Chicago

309
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: is one of the most segregated cities that you can

310
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: ever live in. Or my show that I used to

311
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: co host in Orlando, Florida with Don Miller is from

312
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: Chicago as well. So I feel I have a really

313
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: good grasp for Chicago. And so for those of you

314
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: who are in the comments saying, you know, I'm glad

315
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: black people vote her out number one, That's simply not true.

316
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: That's simply not true. Black people did not vote her out.

317
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: The votes that she got were from the majority of

318
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: the black community. I get it. I know you guys

319
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: want to be right on YouTube. I know you want

320
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: to be able to say we told you so, we

321
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: told you you don't do what we say. We told you,

322
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: but I want you to pay it. You guys got

323
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: to be very careful when it comes to the data

324
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of gas lighting from folks who

325
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: may want to seem as if Twitter has the ultimate

326
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: say in elections, that Instagram has the ultimate say in elections.

327
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: And as a responsible trainer, I want you to know

328
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: that Twitter and Instagram will not help anybody win a race.

329
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 1: It can help you lose one in some cases, it

330
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: can help you fundraise, but it has nothing to do

331
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: with actually winning a race. So I want you to

332
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: be able to have the data and not just for

333
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: the sake of one to say I'm right or somebody

334
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 1: else's right speak in misinformation. You guys did the same

335
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: thing when it came down to Warnock. You know, hey,

336
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: we told you black people won't vot vote for Warnock.

337
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: They did vote for Warnock and Droves. So now should

338
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: black people be a monolithic and always vote the same

339
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 1: way and vote Democrat? Absolutely not. You guys know that

340
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: I am very much against that. But once the numbers

341
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: come in, you cannot lie about the numbers. The numbers

342
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: are the numbers. So to say that black people voted

343
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: out Lightfoot, it's just simply not true. It's just not true. Now,

344
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: you can spread information and lies because you don't like

345
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 1: her or whatever, want to feel like you have some

346
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: kind of power, but it's just not the case, because

347
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: if you have the type of power, then the candidates

348
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 1: that you support would be winning. So the candidates that

349
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 1: you support are not winning. But you were able to

350
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: make Lorie Lightfoot loves make it make sense. It doesn't

351
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: make sense. So let's make sure that we're using facts

352
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: as we're out there having these conversations. So, number one,

353
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: the black community did vote for lour of the majority

354
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: of the county of districts that she carried was in

355
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: the black community. And again, that doesn't mean that all

356
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: black people are or her. That doesn't mean that all

357
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: black people support her. And it means just like the

358
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: gentleman in the comments is saying, Lorie life with us

359
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: trash and I just don't like her period has nothing

360
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: to do with LGBT. All of those things can be

361
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: true at the same time. All of those things can

362
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: be true at the same time. On this platform, we

363
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: do two things can be true at the same time,

364
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: I do not do zero sum arguments. I do not

365
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: do provocateur arguments. It's all this or nothing. I get it.

366
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: I know there's people out there that do that. I

367
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: think they're very necessary to what they do. But I'm

368
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: telling you what I do, and it's never gonna be

369
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: a zero sum game. It's never gonna be an all

370
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 1: inclusive game, and it's always going to be or at

371
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: least try to be laced with the fact. Now, what

372
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: I want you to know about Lorie Lightfoot, and I

373
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: think this is critically important, and we can do another

374
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: podcast about you know her, what she did in her administration.

375
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: But I'm connecting all of this together because I want

376
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: to talk about tough on crime for a second. I

377
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: want to talk about tough on crime for a second,

378
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: and I want you to see what is happening all

379
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: throughout the country. Now, someone in my comment said, you know,

380
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: I feel sorry for Lorie Lightfoot because black women, when

381
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: black women are in leadership, they're not viewed. That's tough enough,

382
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: you know, when it's a tough on crime conversation. And

383
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: so I had to respond to the sister to say,

384
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: although I understand what she says with gender, which I

385
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: do because it is being a woman in any leadership capacity.

386
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: It's not easy. You're either too aggressive or you're too soft.

387
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: But I want to make this point because I want

388
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: you guys to see. I want you to connect the

389
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: dots on what is happening all across the country, this

390
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: particular tough on crime issue and the reason why we're

391
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: talking about race. It is not necessarily a gender thing

392
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: like what happened with Keisha Land's bottoms or Lori Lightfoot,

393
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: but it is a black thing. Somebody has tag a

394
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: black thing. It is a black thing. And so whether

395
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: you agree with Laurie or not, didn't think she was

396
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: plugged in enough to the black community, all those things

397
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: can be true. But this podcast is about tough on

398
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 1: crime and what is happening on the local level and

399
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: what is bubbling up its way to the federal level

400
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: as early as next week. Okay, So if you look

401
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: at Chicago and you look at how you know, tough

402
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: on crime again, Conservatives drilled this over and over and

403
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: over and on and ogo what about Chicago? What about Chicago?

404
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 1: What about Chicago? What about chat? They have made Chicago

405
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: the staple of crime. When you think of crime, think

406
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,479
Speaker 1: of Chicago. That is literally the talking points for the

407
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: conservative media, and they drilled that over and over and

408
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: over and over. And it is not that black people

409
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: don't care about crime. It is not that we don't

410
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: want to see crime reduce. It is not that that

411
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: we are not some of the demographics most vulnerable to crime.

412
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: We get all of that. It is just typically, and

413
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: again keyword typically, Typically Black leaders have a different approach

414
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: to crime because it is from a lived experience and

415
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: we lean towards actually preventing crime and saving our babies

416
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: before they get into a lifestyle of crime, where the

417
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: conservative ideology is typically again key word typically, not all,

418
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: not all the time. It's typically, once you do the crime,

419
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,479
Speaker 1: lock you up forever, and it is what it is,

420
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: without an opportunity to change, without an opportunity to, you know,

421
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: become a better citizen. Now, conservatives love talking about the

422
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: first step back. I've worked on the first step back.

423
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: Bear formiliar with the first step back. The first step

424
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: back was all about what happens when you get out

425
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 1: of jail. So it was about reciptivism. For those who

426
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: don't know, recitivism is helping you not go back. So

427
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: conservatives do talk about that, But where the difference usually

428
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: is between the two ideologies is preventing team the crime

429
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: versus doing nothing to prevent or not putting enough resources

430
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: in to prevent and then just then the crime happening,

431
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: and then locking up particularly black men. Again, more black

432
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: men are imprisoned than those who are enslaved in eighteen fifty.

433
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: So there's a very strategic for those of you that

434
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: don't know school to prison pipeline, there is. Since everybody

435
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: else want to talk about agenda, there's a very clear

436
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: agenda when it comes to this tough on crime thing.

437
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 1: And Democrats or Republicans have played locked step let me

438
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: say again, have been locked step in this and this

439
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: is what you're about to see again. So let's take

440
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: Chicago out of it, where the crime thing was crime, crime, crime, crime, crime,

441
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: and her opponents, just so we can be clear, the

442
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: white candidate who finished at the top of the crowd

443
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 1: with thirty four percent of the boat, he ran a

444
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: tough on crime, law and order campaign. He taught one

445
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: crowd that his whole campaign is about taking back our city,

446
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: pure and simple. So regardless if you like LORI lightfoot

447
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: or not, regardless if you want no leadership or not.

448
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,239
Speaker 1: What I'm trying to tell you is the person that

449
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: is leading has a tough on crime approach. Yes, should

450
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: crime be tackled, absolutely, but I would encourage you, Chicagoan

451
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: to look at all of your options and look at

452
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: who is going to have the best approach to not

453
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: just locking people up, because yes, that needs to happen,

454
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 1: but prevention. I forgot the other candidate's name, but I

455
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: saw him this morning on morning Joe the former teacher.

456
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: Let me see what is his name? Let me, I

457
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: don't think they have let me. Let me look up

458
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 1: his name. Somebody want to tag tag it here? Let

459
00:24:54,200 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 1: me look up. Let's see. Got his name? Uh Johnson?

460
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: So Johnson? So Johnson is a black man who is

461
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: a former school teacher. Um. I was a little heavy

462
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: on the religious stuff this morning, but maybe because he

463
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: was talking to Al Sharpton. I don't know, Um, but

464
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: he talks a lot about and this is just my

465
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: quick glance. I have not done a deep dive into him,

466
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: but he is talking about crime prevention with you know,

467
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: having more assistance for mental health. Um that he said

468
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: that the number one response calls from nine one one

469
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 1: in Chicago is a mental health crisis and that police

470
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: should not have to be forced to deal with issues

471
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: that they're that they're not trained for, which I totally agree.

472
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: So it looks like Chicago, you're gonna have to make

473
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: a decision between the tough on crime god or the

474
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: guy that looks like he is positioned to do a

475
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: preventative crime approach. So there's going to be a stark difference.

476
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: But you have to ask, why is it that the

477
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: tough one crime person is leading with thirty four percent

478
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: leading with thirty four in a city which is pretty

479
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: much known to be pretty much a liberal, a Democrat city.

480
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: Why does all of this matter? And look at what's

481
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: happening in Mississippi. Do you guys know what's happening in Mississippi?

482
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: Mississippi is the blackest, one of the blackest cities in America,

483
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: and right now they passed the bill to create a

484
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: separate court system. Pay attention, a separate court system with

485
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 1: an expanded police force in the city of Jackson that

486
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: would incorporate all of the city's significantly populated white majority neighborhoods.

487
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: Did y'all hear that they had literally created a new

488
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 1: let me just say it in clear tim a white

489
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: for a police force just to protect white folks. The

490
00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 1: mayor is calling this apartheide black mayor. So this is

491
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: not This tough on crime conversation is not just in Chicago.

492
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: Pay attention to what is happening across the country and

493
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: what Democrats will do. Like I said on the Grill

494
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 1: last night, they always play defense to Republicans. So Republicans

495
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: are putting out of a tough on crime message. So

496
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: Democrats instead of being bold enough to talk about crime

497
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: prevention because they're so afraid, they don't they don't want

498
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: to be said that they're defunding the police. That a

499
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: lot of these a lot of these Democrats are gonna

500
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: follow suit to the Republican mindset, which is crime Bill

501
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: two point out. So look at what's happening in Mississippi.

502
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: And then I want to talk a little bit about

503
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: For you Trump supporters who's always saying Trump is better,

504
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit about and you

505
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: don't have to like Biden, because I'm not a fan

506
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: of Biden, but let's talk about what the reality is.

507
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: Trump said that twenty twenty four will be a law

508
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: and order plan. His plan is to dismantle every game,

509
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: street crew and drug new network in America. He's taking

510
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: it all the way, far, far, far left. These are

511
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 1: his words. We need a death penalty for drug dealers

512
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: and human traffickers. They get the death penalty, watch it

513
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 1: stop and stop quickly. I will not hesitate to send

514
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: in federal assets, including the National Guard, until safety is restored,

515
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: the National Guard until safety his restore. Remember you talked

516
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: about doing that to Chicago as well. So again, Chicago,

517
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: pay attention to who your next mayor will be, who

518
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: your next state rep your next Senator, your next US

519
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: senator Congress will be. Because again, if Trum wins, now

520
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: you're talking about the National Guard. And again from my

521
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: conservative people that follow me on my page that don't

522
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: like Larry Lightfoot because she's LGBT, fine, but don't get

523
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: it twisted behind and you supporting one thing, being against

524
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: one thing, and not paying attention to what's happening on

525
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: the other side. Donald Trump said that I'm quoting his

526
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: words from a speech Joe Biden and the defund the police.

527
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: Democrats have turned our once great cities into cesspools of

528
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: bloodshed and crime. Even though this is side note me.

529
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: Even though Joe Biden said fund the police. Remember when

530
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: Joe Biden said fund the police, they're still saying no,

531
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: they're saying defund the police. And actually they're not saying

532
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: deefund the police. A lot of folks wish that they would,

533
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: but they have not said defund the police. So this

534
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: is just a flat outline. Trump said he will invest

535
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: in a record investment in hiring, retention, and training for

536
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: police officers nationwide. He also said, so again for those

537
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: of you, you conservatives who may like some things about Trump,

538
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: maybe the Texas, maybe the business, maybe the thing you

539
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: are and not a support of LGBT, got it. But

540
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: can I just express to you this part though, so

541
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: you can pay so you can look at the whole

542
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: thing collectively. It's not to scare you in the vaulting

543
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: for Biden or any Democrat. I just want you to

544
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: have all of the information. He said. The bill will

545
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: increase vital liability protection for officers. Let me say it again,

546
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: slow liability protections for officers. One of the things that

547
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: we're trying to do, and the police are farm movement

548
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: is in qualified immunity which means allowing police officers to

549
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: be protected when they kill us. For those of you

550
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: that are always saying we need to take it out

551
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: the police and less chase and take it out the

552
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: police pension, right, we're trying to fight to do that.

553
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: Trump is not only is he not going to allow

554
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: that to happen, but he's going to increase protection for

555
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: police office. Not protection for citizens who are murdered by

556
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: the police, but increase protection for police officers, he said.

557
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: Democrats want to take away protections of protections away from

558
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: police because we want them to do their jobs. We

559
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: want to do their jobs right. We're going to protect them,

560
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: he said. In order to qualify for this funding local jurisdictions,

561
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: meaning your local city Chicago, Mississippi, in order to get

562
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: the money, you must, basically I'm paraphrasing, agree to common

563
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: sense police measures such as stop and frist. Let me

564
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: say it again. Trump's praying is that in order to

565
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: get the federal dollars, you must adhere to stop and frist.

566
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: And we all know what the result of that was.

567
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: In New York, strictly enforcing existing gun laws against convictor fellas,

568
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: cracking down on the open use of illegal drugs and

569
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: cooperating with ICE to get criminal aliens off the street

570
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: and get them out of our country. So again to

571
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: the black conservatives, the black conservatives who may agree with

572
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: Trump when it comes to immigration, who may agree with

573
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: Trump when it comes to cracking down on existing felons,

574
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: But I gotta ask, do you agree what's stopping frisk?

575
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: Are you in agreement what's stopping frisk? And what that

576
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: does to our brothers and sisters across the country. So

577
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: you guys, you have to look at what is happening

578
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: ho holistically and not just taking you know, a few

579
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: hound bites or listening to just a couple of different

580
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: YouTube commentators and taking that and running with it, and

581
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: pay attention to what is going to happen. He said. Third,

582
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna go after prosecutors who are abolishing cash bill.

583
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: Right now, more black people are locked up because they

584
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: don't have the money to get out of jail, and

585
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: that is where the cash bill conversation comes into. It's

586
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: not about letting out violent criminals. That's been another lie

587
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: that has been spread. But the dolt that those that

588
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: do not pose a threat have their day in court.

589
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: I'm simplifying it. Go read it for yourself. Because poor

590
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: people don't have money to get out of jail, and

591
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: they could very well be innocent. They should have a

592
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: right to be able to get out of jail, not

593
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: based upon what they have in their pocket, if they're

594
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: not a Biden offender. These are the things that conservatives

595
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: or Trump is talking about revoking that we were able

596
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: to change on the grassroom level. It said prosecutors who

597
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: refuse to charge crimes. Typically prosecutors don't charge if they

598
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: can win, and they don't charge they can and when

599
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: if they don't have significant evidence. So Trump is saying

600
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: that if you he is pushing prosecuted, y'all better charging

601
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: with something. That's basically what he's saying. Figure something out

602
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: and charge them or something and lock him up. He said,

603
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,479
Speaker 1: they have surrendered like never before. Again. You can read

604
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: this transcript under RealClearPolitics dot com. I posted up the

605
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: article on my page yesterday. Google the timing of the

606
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: article and read it for yourself. He said, they have

607
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: surrendered like number four. I will direct the Department adjustin

608
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: to open civil rights investigations into radical left prosecutors such

609
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: as those in Chicago, LA, and San Francisco to determine

610
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: whether they have illegally engaged in race base enforcement of

611
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: the law. Now he's I'm talking about protecting black folks.

612
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: He's saying to do an investigation to see if black

613
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 1: people got done any favors. I'm paraphrasing, meaning the training

614
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: that they're talking about that on the left, about being

615
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: race sensitive, of know him, you know how to communicate

616
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: with different communities. He is against that, and not only

617
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: said against that, he wants any prosecutor's charge that have

618
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: even considered race. So there's a lot going on here.

619
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,280
Speaker 1: He also talks about fourth I will holder the Department

620
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:41,919
Speaker 1: of Justice in Homeland Security to dismantle every gang, street crew,

621
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: and drug network in America. Is he gonna start with

622
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: the mob? Is he gonna start with the police? Is

623
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: he gonna start with units like the Scorpion unit that

624
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: beat our brother, Tyree's Nichols to death. I doubt it.

625
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: So I want you guys to be very clear on

626
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: what is about to happen on the local level and

627
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: the state level, and what is happening right now as

628
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: we speak. On next week, Biden could possibly face his

629
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: first veto on the DC crime Law let me explain

630
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 1: what that is. And watching the DC, they want to

631
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: rewrite the criminal code of the Democrats can servatives say

632
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: it's soft on violent criminals. It will be up for

633
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: vote next week DC. Without getting deep into that, I am.

634
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: I am with those that believe that DC doesn't have

635
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 1: proper representation and that Congress gets to decide how what

636
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: happens in DC, and I don't think that's fair. I

637
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: think they local account, local leadership should be able to

638
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: determine how they move, and that is what's happening right now.

639
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: So the measure, and I'm reading this from CNN Politics,

640
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,760
Speaker 1: and you can google this says Biden, or just google

641
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: anything Biden to resend DC crime law and you can

642
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: look that up and do your own research. But the

643
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: measure is expected to come up next week for a vote.

644
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: They only need a simple majority to pass. And guess

645
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: what Democrat is voting with the Republicans. You guess that

646
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: Joe Mansion. Congress under DC's Home rule charter is about

647
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 1: the veto every law approved by DC voters or government.

648
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: If this repeal passes, it will likely be the first

649
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: bill the President Biden may consider vetoing so that he

650
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: can be in a line with the Democrats because once

651
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: again Joe Mansion is running the show. That's why when

652
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 1: they got up set about Charlot Manasson, who's the real president.

653
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: I don't know why they got upset because Joe Mansion

654
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 1: is once again running the show. Biden said he's open

655
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 1: to rescinding the DCL crime measure, but hasn't made a

656
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 1: decision on whether he will veto it. So it's gonna

657
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: be very interesting to see if Joe Biden be tolds it,

658
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,479
Speaker 1: which means agree with the Democrats. They're saying, let DC

659
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: handle our own business, or will Joe Biden let it,

660
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: let it ride, which means he would be taking the

661
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: side of Republicans and Mansion. This is really important, really

662
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: really important. So the Democrats are on board with overriding

663
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 1: the DC law, and the Republicans are on board with

664
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: pushing a law that they say it's tough on crime.

665
00:38:56,160 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: This is happening in DC. Make sure you stay connected

666
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: to me next week because I'm gonna follow this. I

667
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 1: want to see how this plays out. I want to

668
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: see at what side will Joe Biden be on. And

669
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: I predicted that he's going to take not I don't

670
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: know what this one because I haven't looked into this,

671
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: but before Joe Biden got in office, I said he

672
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: would be eventually leaning back towards his tough on crime

673
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: crime bill, Joe Biden because I just don't believe that

674
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: somebody that's been in office that long, over fifty years,

675
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: that they change their stripes. And because there's an election

676
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 1: coming up in two thousand twenty four, not just in

677
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 1: the general but mid terms, Democrats now are trying to

678
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: prove that they too can be tough on crime. And

679
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: so next week we'll give we'll be able to see

680
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 1: how Joe Biden's going to handle this. Who is he

681
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: going to appease Mansion and the Republicans or the Democrats.

682
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 1: So in closing, I just want to do this quick podcast.

683
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: My apologies from my voice going in and out. I'm

684
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: not feeling that well, but I didn't want to let

685
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: you know what is happening on the tough on crime issue,

686
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 1: what is happening on the local level, when it's one

687
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: reason why somebody was absolutely correct when they said that's

688
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: why Mayor Keisha Land's Bottoms didn't want rough for reelection

689
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: because she was faced with the crime thing. I want

690
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: you to see and watch our people move through this

691
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: tough on crime between now and next year. And I

692
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: am urging you, guys, encouraging you to be responsible enough

693
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 1: to look at every issue by issue and again for

694
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,240
Speaker 1: somebody to just putting here about the LGBT issue. Everything's

695
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 1: out about the LGBT issue. Government runs all types of things,

696
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: the financial sector, the healthcare sector, of the educational sector,

697
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 1: zony schools, transportation. Familiarize yourself well what government runs. And

698
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: for those who say, well, I'm just not in the process,

699
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 1: we just need to do it for ourselves, do what

700
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 1: for ourselves. We can't run the financial sector. We can't

701
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: run the healthcare industry. We cannot run the insurance industry.

702
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: We do not run Wall Street. We cannot run the

703
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,919
Speaker 1: education industry, the banking institutes. Come on, let's be for real.

704
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 1: Let's be for real. As long as you're in America,

705
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: the government's gonna run it. So you got two choices.

706
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: You're gonna get in or not. But they're using your

707
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: money whether you're in or not. So either you want

708
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 1: to have a say in the process or you don't.

709
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: And then remind you guys again, like I'm gonna do

710
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: as often as I can. When you guys say I'm

711
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 1: just not gonna vote, I want you to know that

712
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: you're actually helping the Democrats. That strategy that y'allot running with.

713
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:51,919
Speaker 1: You guys are getting that from people who have never

714
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 1: ran a race and don't understand numbers. When you sit out,

715
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: you actually make it easier for the candidates you don't

716
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: like to get fifty percent, because all they gotta do

717
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: is get fifty percent of people that like them to

718
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: the boat. So you will be better running a candidate

719
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: on your own. Let me say it again. You will

720
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: be better running a candidate on your own to what

721
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: they call split the vote rather than sitting out because

722
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: there's always been more people that don't vote that do vote.

723
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying this to the person that adds earlier, well,

724
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: how many black people voted, it doesn't matter. There's always

725
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: going to be more people that do not vote. So

726
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: you're not flexing on that. When y'all say that, I'm

727
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: gonna say it again, when you're listening to people who

728
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: have not been operatives, like literally having to work on campaigns,

729
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 1: they're misleading you. It's called get out to vote. I'm

730
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 1: gonna say it again. I said it on my podcast

731
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,800
Speaker 1: the other day. There's a system called Voter Action Network

732
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: that we go into and it tells us where all

733
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: of the voters are. If your Democrat is gonna say, hey,

734
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: all your supervolters live over here, they're over there, and

735
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 1: then we literally the candidate literally goes out and only

736
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: goes to those houses that are supervoters. So imagine House

737
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 1: number one being a supervoter and you and House number

738
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 1: two a non voter. They're not even gonna knock on

739
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: your door. So just imagine I want you to visualize

740
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 1: you standing is outside in the yard. Hey, I'm not

741
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: gonna vote for y'all, not gonna vote for you, but

742
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: they don't even see you. You're not even on the list.

743
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: Are y'all understanding what I'm telling you? So you're flexing.

744
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 1: It's kind of like a woman saying I don't want

745
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: you anyway. Girl, I've never asked you out. Like literally,

746
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: you're flexing on something that that's not where the power is.

747
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: Now again, I'm not seeing go vote for the candidate

748
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: of that you don't support in. What I'm trying to

749
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 1: say is, if you want to show power, then House

750
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: number two should be able to say, I'm not going

751
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: to vote for your candidate, but I am going to

752
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: vote for mister Smith. Now you're taking away a vote

753
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: from that person. You're not taking away anything from anybody

754
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: when you don't vote, because the role of the game

755
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: is fifty one percent. Is how they win the Chicago

756
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,720
Speaker 1: race yesterday that many of you were following on Twitter,

757
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: the person that won only won by eleven hundred votes.

758
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: In one of the Alderman positions. It doesn't require a

759
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: lot of people to go to the polls to get

760
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: you to win. This is why I keep pushing you

761
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: guys to run for local office or support somebody that

762
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 1: runs for local office. The guy that they brought on

763
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 1: Twitter by the last name of Gabe, I think he

764
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: had one hundred and thirty votes. I had more people

765
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 1: graduate from my high school. No disrespect to him, but

766
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,760
Speaker 1: all of the time that he spent on Twitter talking

767
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 1: to people that can't even vote for him, and that

768
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 1: told me out the gate he was not a formidable appollit.

769
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: Let me explain to you what a formidable appollent is.

770
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: I said that before. Anybody can be underpollent, but a

771
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:02,800
Speaker 1: formidable apolit means that you're respected in feared. Any candidate

772
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: that is spending time talking to y'all on Twitter, and

773
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:07,839
Speaker 1: you could just make it up as you go and say,

774
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:09,839
Speaker 1: I do live in Chicago. We don't know that. How

775
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: do we know that? So anybody that's spending an absorbed

776
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: amount of time trying to convince strangers from all over

777
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: the country on Twitter instead of knocking on doors, no

778
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: wonder he came in last place. I'm gonna give y'all

779
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 1: the tough reality. And I do support the folks you

780
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: know that brought him to Twitter. I do. I'm glad

781
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: that they thought that, you know, the Twitter family was

782
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: important enough to have a conversation with, But that is

783
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: not how you win elections. I knew he didn't know

784
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: what he was doing, just by the simple fact that

785
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: he was on Twitter debating what you guys back and forth,

786
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: getting caught up in that back and forth when you

787
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: should be doing call time talking to actual voters. So

788
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:57,280
Speaker 1: he came in last, not even one hundred and forty votes.

789
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: At best, it was more people in a Twitter space

790
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: then it was that voted for you heid what you mean?

791
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: He was not prioritizing his time, and he should have

792
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: been talking to voters. If you want to sit up

793
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: on Twitter space all day and educate people on reparations

794
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 1: and whatever is that you're passionate about, you need to

795
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 1: start a pack of political action committee because that's what

796
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: they actually do. But being a candidate talking about sitting

797
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: up on social media all day running the podcast, that's

798
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: not how you win office. It's not period with that

799
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: says speaking of running for office, I'm so excited. Over

800
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: fifty three people have completed the form to host a

801
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: push the Line training in your city. Some have requested duplicate,

802
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: you know, several people from various cities. I've had like

803
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: several requests from the same city and we're compelling that list.

804
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: Now I have to restructure how I'm doing everything. The

805
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 1: last training was free, and I have to in order

806
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: to tackle the demand. We have to probably restructure. You

807
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 1: guys know, I don't like charging anything, um, but to

808
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 1: the cities that we decide to go in, just because

809
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: I can't go broke either trying to touch everybody. We

810
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,240
Speaker 1: probably will um. You know, have some of the folks

811
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: in the city try to lead ship in to cover

812
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 1: the costs of the venue, which would be very little

813
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 1: UM and just kind of offset some of the costs.

814
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna be working with the organizers to see

815
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,479
Speaker 1: how we can make that happen, because it's just no way,

816
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, I, personally, UM can go to fifty different cities,

817
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,320
Speaker 1: you know, on my own dime. That just doesn't make sense.

818
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: And I want to be able to touch as many

819
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 1: as I possibly can and try to get you this

820
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: information because not only is this very much needed, UM,

821
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 1: it is necessary. And so I'm very excited to see

822
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 1: that and overwhelmed because it's like, wow, how do I,

823
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, touch as many as I possibly can? UM.

824
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 1: If you want to know more about that, Push line

825
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 1: training ands on my website tests on figureall dot com,

826
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 1: you can click on push the Line. We did a

827
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 1: twelve hour boot camp in Atlanta, went really well trained.

828
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: We trained operatives, candidates and organizers five different modules. If

829
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: you will to kind of teach you give you a

830
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,280
Speaker 1: little bit of jumpstart. And so one of the things

831
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 1: this is a labor of love, a project of love

832
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: that I just want to do. I want to work

833
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:25,840
Speaker 1: with some people that actually want to get on the

834
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 1: ballot because I want to, you know, see how they

835
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: apply the training, see if it works, and you know,

836
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: just kind of seeing more like a case study. It

837
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: does not mean to the ignorant person on Twitter that

838
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 1: just jumped to conclusions, it does not mean that I

839
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: am personally running at candidate, which means I'm not saying, hey,

840
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna run Joe Blow in New Orleans and I'm

841
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: gonna fund them and get them the money and I'm

842
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:48,800
Speaker 1: gonna do this and that notice not what that is

843
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 1: at all. I want to give people the tools that

844
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: they need to run, but I have nothing to do,

845
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: no affiliation with their actual run for office. I just

846
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:58,799
Speaker 1: want to be able to give you what you need

847
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 1: so that you can run and run a successful race,

848
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: or at least have something, because we just don't have

849
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: the resources that people need just to even know where

850
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: to get started. So it does not mean an endorsement up.

851
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: Thank you Shannon on YouTube that sign up for the

852
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 1: class of class is very good. It does not mean

853
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 1: an endorsement of a candidate, or that I'm funding a

854
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:22,760
Speaker 1: candidate or you know, doing anything to help with particular candidate.

855
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 1: I can very well be training two people that's gonna

856
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: run together, you run against each other. I just want

857
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 1: to get the resources out so that you guys can

858
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 1: just kind of have something. So bear with me. I did,

859
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: we did get your We're not ignoring it. I just

860
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: have to figure on the name. So we're just a

861
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: two woman team. So we're a small team and I

862
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 1: actually do run on a whole full of business, you know,

863
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,399
Speaker 1: So this is kind of like a project of love.

864
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 1: But just bear with me because I want to make

865
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 1: sure that we get at least to a few of

866
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 1: these cities as we possibly can. So with that said, guys,

867
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: that's that's about it. If you live in Massachusetts, I'll
