I am from Fontana, California, and I'm 8 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: running for city council for District to UM, it's a 9 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: municipal level election. It's a local election, so it doesn't 10 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: get that much coverage. But UM, that's why we're out 11 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:37,959 Speaker 1: here today to see what we're gonna try to get 12 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: you all the coverage you need. I'mna choose to rialto's finest. Um. 13 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: We're here showing our support, just trying to form the people, 14 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 1: educate the people that voting does matter, especially when we're 15 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: talking about local and municipal elections that directly affects your 16 00:00:55,160 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: city and your schools. Okay, that's cool, So tell me, uh, 17 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: how did you tell me? So? The way we met 18 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: was really interesting. UM. So, as you know, I'm really 19 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: involved in the protesting and the activism for the black community, 20 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: especially in light of the George Floyd protesting. So there's 21 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: an interesting group out of Fontana, California, Liberate the i E. 22 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: And they were doing a protest. So, UM, I was 23 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: invited to come down do a few different things, and UM, 24 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: one of the things that they told me to speak. 25 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: So I did a few different things. So one of 26 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: the things we did would start up and making sure 27 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: all the people introduced themselves, and UM, that's when I 28 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: met for Scilla. She said a little bit about you know, 29 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: what she likes to do, why she's involved, why she 30 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: thinks she needs to be out here protesting, different things 31 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: like that. And so after the protest, it was just 32 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: really coincidental that we like basically parked right next to 33 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: each other, like everybody else parked somewhere else, and we 34 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: were the only two who parked over here. So I 35 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: basically walked her to her car. We were talking about 36 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: different stuff. We had each other's Instagram. So a few 37 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: days went by, a few weeks went by, you know, 38 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: and I just checked in on and I was like, Hey, 39 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: you know, what's up. Are you gonna go to this protest? 40 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: What are you doing? She's like yeah, I'm down. You know, 41 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:08,679 Speaker 1: She's like, I really want to talk to you about 42 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: running for city council. This is all the information that 43 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: I found out. I found out, this is all you 44 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: need to do. So actually, if you could help me 45 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 1: with what I got going on, that would be dope. 46 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: And then that and then the rest is like history. 47 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: So so for sure, what you think or how do 48 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,839 Speaker 1: you feel you can have San Bernardino your community. I 49 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: feel that it takes a person that knows what it's 50 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: like to live on these streets to run for the 51 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: positions of these elected officials, because, um, who knows you 52 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: better than your neighbor, right, Like who knows you better 53 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: than like, you know, the person that you meet up 54 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: with at the park, like your friends. Somebody that actually 55 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: knows what it's like to grow up in San Berdarnto County, 56 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: you know, transition from child to teenager to adult there, 57 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: you know, And I get that a lot, like you 58 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: don't have experience, you're too young. But I'm a product 59 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: of Summerdino County. Right, So what made you think about running? 60 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: I mean, what made you feel like you wanted to 61 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: get into this. Well, it all started, Honestly, I have 62 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: to pay my respects um to the BLM and the 63 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: George Floyd incident, which was very very tragic. Um. Sorry, 64 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: it's really hot in here. I don't know. Um. So yeah, 65 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: the it all started with the George Floyd incident, which 66 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: was a very very tragic murder. And UM, I saw 67 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: it on Twitter because I'm I'm on Twitter a lot, 68 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: and I just it didn't sit right with me. It 69 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: didn't feel right that nobody in my city was doing 70 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: anything about it, because I live in Fontana, California. So 71 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: I felt like we should speak up no matter where 72 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: we are. We shouldn't um wait till l A does it, 73 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: or wait till San Francisco does it. These bigger cities, 74 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: we should always speak up for what we don't believe 75 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: is right. And I don't believe what happened to George 76 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: Floyd Rest in peace was right in any aspect. I 77 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: don't think anybody should be murdered, um with the knee 78 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: to the neck. I don't think anybody should ever have 79 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: to get to that circumstance with the police enforcement, right, 80 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: So you just feel like I need to make a difference. Yeah, 81 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: I just I couldn't sleep one day and I was 82 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: just like, you know what, I have to say something, 83 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: I have to do something. And I just went to Michael's. 84 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: I got posters and I was like, Okay, let's do 85 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 1: a Black Lives Matter movement here in Fontana. Let's just 86 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: get up. Let's just go six pm Fontana City Hall 87 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: and meet me there. If you're about the movement, if 88 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: you're about this, if you're mad about this, if you're outraged, 89 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: let's go. Let's do it today. Yeah. So, um so 90 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: my organization, I got a few organizations work. I'm working 91 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: with so BLM Inland Empire b l M, i E. 92 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: We were working with them in the very beginning of this, 93 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: you know, even before George Floyd with you know, Timmy 94 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: or Rice, a little boy that was gunned down. You know, 95 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: so there's there's so many different names, even with a 96 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: Philando Castillo, the guy who was uh he had a 97 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: CCW the cops that let me see your you know, 98 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 1: let me see it, and he shot the guy. So 99 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: we've been working on this for a long time with 100 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter in an empire. But what I think 101 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't understand is that Black Lives 102 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: Matter as an organization and as a movement are two 103 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: totally different things. Okay, So now you have the organization 104 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: that was founded by a few people. We're not gonna 105 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: get into the two specifics of those people, but there 106 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: were two women, one black, one white, or one Okay, 107 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: so that's where the actual organization was founded. But the 108 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: actual movement of black lives matter, the movement of the 109 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 1: people taking to the streets, the movement of people who 110 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: are saying, you know what, because my life does matter, 111 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 1: I'm willing to do what I need to do. I e. 112 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: Run for city council. I have another guy we're working with, 113 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 1: Mr Eugene Wiens. We have other groups that we're working with, 114 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: and people are trying to do what they need to 115 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 1: do in order to prove and show that our lives 116 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: do matter. One of the main things that Priscilla said 117 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: to me that got to me was the youth, her advocation, 118 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: her advocacy for the youth, that she wants to do 119 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: something in her city, specifically for the youth. And in 120 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: light of Corona, all the different things we got, most 121 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: people don't even talk about the kids. The kids aren't 122 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: going to school. It's almost like we forgot about those people. 123 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: Right now, you know. So one of the things that 124 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: she said was, you know, we need to make sure 125 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: the kids have something besides to aspire to grow up 126 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: to work at Walmart forever. I mean, there's nothing wrong 127 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: with starting there, but if that's the only thing that 128 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: you can inspire to do is work at Walmart, work 129 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: at McDonald's, well we need better options for the youth 130 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: so we don't have a lot of the economic issues 131 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 1: that we're having right now. That's that's I really don't know. 132 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: I really don't know what to say because I really 133 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: don't try to get into it like understandable, because I 134 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: actually believe that you can. You could cry your heart 135 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: out to certain people, people in power, and your voice 136 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: is unheard. And when people like yourself, running for a 137 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: position is a certain way you have to be, is 138 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: a certain look you gotta uphold or they don't look 139 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: at you at all. You know what I'm saying. Do 140 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: that bother you that something's in your life you have 141 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: to change to run for offers? It does bother me. 142 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: And I think that's the main reason I want to 143 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: run is because people need to realize that anybody can 144 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: do it. Like I'm not a better person or a 145 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: hero for doing this. I just decided to step up. 146 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: And if nobody's stepping up, and the odds are me 147 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: against no one. So if you win, do you do 148 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: you think you can make change? Almost definitely. Um, A 149 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: lot of people don't understand that city council has a 150 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: lot of power, and a lot of people don't understand 151 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: that municipal, local level elections affect us more than these 152 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: big Congress decisions, these big headlines, these big Trump headlines, 153 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: all these huge headlines that distract us from the local 154 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: is not good because the general local level decisions that 155 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: people are making every day for us, we have no clue. 156 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: We have no clue what's going on. You tell the 157 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: like even me, like me as an example, a couple 158 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: of months ago, a year ago, I didn't know what 159 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: the city council did. I don't know who they were, 160 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: what people were running my city, you know, like, what 161 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: were they about, what decisions were they making, how much 162 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: power they have they I feel like we're put in 163 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: this position to not know this information, so we won't 164 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: create change. But as soon as you know how easy 165 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: it is to run and how easy it is to 166 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: be elected, how easy it is to just step up 167 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: and try to do it, then you're not that discouraged. 168 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: But winning is one thing, losing is another thing. Um, 169 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: I think you got to start some weird to get 170 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: where you want to go. If it don't work this time, 171 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: I knew what I can do, what I have to do, 172 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 1: and I learned from the first time. Do you apply 173 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: yourself to that? Do you think that if I if 174 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: I don't, if I don't win this selection, I'll be 175 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 1: back definitely. And I don't think it's about winning or losing. 176 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: I think it's about, um, just creating this. I want 177 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: to say this scandal, you know, like, oh she's running, 178 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 1: Oh you can run for city council. Oh you can 179 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: do this. How old is she? Twenty four? A lot 180 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: of younger people like myself, and even people younger than me, 181 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: like Generation Z, they don't know that it's very very 182 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: simple to run. All you have to do is be eighteen, 183 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: registered to vote, and be a resident of your city. 184 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: And this is this goes for every city and nobody 185 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: and nobody knows this information. Nobody tells you this information 186 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: because they don't want us to know. So it won't 187 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 1: be that easy for us to take these people out 188 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: of their position of powers. So you have to have 189 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: some kind of degree though no, not at all. You 190 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: don't even have to need You don't need a degree 191 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: to be president. You don't have to go to school, 192 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: you don't need anything. You need to be a certain age. 193 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: There's a few criterion that that you have to meet, 194 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 1: and most people were just not privy to this information. 195 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: We just don't know it. So, you know, when they 196 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: say we the people, that's really what they meant by this, 197 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: We the people, meaning that we are the government. Once 198 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: you're a teen, once you can vote, you are the government. 199 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: If you choose to be, should you choose to be? 200 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: And a lot of what happened in and the black 201 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: and the Brown community is is we just didn't choose 202 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: to be. You know, as growing up, we all play 203 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: cops and robbers, cowboys and Indians. But because police got 204 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: a negative stigmatism, we don't want to be cops. Nobody 205 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: wants to talk to the police. You know, I'd rather 206 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: be exactly you know. So, but here's the thing, will 207 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: never stop what's happening in our police departments if, like 208 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: she said, at a local level, we're not telling our 209 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: kids to be the police officers, be the fireman, you know, 210 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,439 Speaker 1: we have to be these things on all levels, all 211 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: facets of life. I think more black we need more 212 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: black officers because especially that grew up and and say 213 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: Sam Bernard, you know, grew up in l A. Because 214 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: if you know the people you're working with, you're dealing with, 215 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 1: you're not gonna have that much resentment from the people 216 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 1: that you pull over. If people know who they're dealing with, 217 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 1: people of their own kind of whatever, however they want 218 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: to choose to word it, it would be a better thing. 219 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: You know, you and I grew up as white boys 220 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: police in Compton, and and these guys are coming in 221 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: to go home, they come to work, and they're gonna 222 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: they do what they do. We were just talking about it, 223 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: and it's by enemies necessary, I think, so that puts 224 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: them on edge already. But if we had our own 225 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: people just say, if we we wanted to police our neighborhoods, 226 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: we ain't gonna do it. But you couldn't even if 227 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: you try it. Yeah we couldn't know we actually can. 228 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: So we have to stop saying what is impossible? I mean, 229 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: I mean we couldn't be I say we could we 230 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: can't only because most of the police officers working in 231 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: our own cities don't live there. So you know, so 232 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: what we can do is so for instance, you look 233 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: at certain cities, certain municipal levels, they've already started to 234 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: locally elect to defund the police. Okay, so you have 235 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: some cities. It was good. I do. I do believe 236 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: that's good because let me get a better definition and 237 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 1: better definition defund. So let's break first. Let's break down 238 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: just defund. To defund means to take away and reallocate 239 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: funds of direct direct So it doesn't mean that you 240 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: will not be funded at all. It just means that 241 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to defund you. Means I'm going to take 242 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: away some of your funds. Now how much that's subjective. 243 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: We haven't got there yet. Defund does not mean abolish. Basically, 244 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: give regicun reg gun, get out there and go to 245 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: work pretty much sort of speak basically. But but the 246 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: difference in this is so um, we we and we're 247 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 1: working on a lot of different frameworks and we're working 248 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: with a lot of different people on this. So coming up, 249 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: what I believe is is uh, like we, like you 250 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: just said, growing up in Compton, it was always the 251 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: white boys who came in there, and they already had 252 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: a certain type of mentality. So I believe that in 253 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 1: part of this defundment of the police, what we really 254 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: need to do is is make the demographic of your city. 255 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: Your police department should look something similar to that. So 256 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: if let's say Fontana, it's almost like seventy eight percent Latino, well, 257 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: then seventy eight percent of the police department needs to 258 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: be Latino. Okay, So we need to start implementing these 259 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: things in our cities. We can do. It's gonna first 260 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: start out at the municipal level. A lot of people thinking, oh, 261 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: it's gonna start at Trump, it's gonna start at to 262 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: send it at Congress. No it's not. It's gonna start 263 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: in our local communities first. This is where the steam 264 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: is going to be drawn from. And like she said, 265 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: even if she doesn't win this alection right now, which 266 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna win this election, but she brings awareness, like 267 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: she said, there's so many other young girls, young boys, 268 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: young Latina girls that can get in power that could feel, 269 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: you know what should I'm eighteen, I could be city council, 270 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: could be this seeing you do it you're taking the 271 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: first step, it's gonna be a whole lot behind you 272 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: that's gonna try. We really believe so exactly. And that's 273 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: what happened with the first protest, that very first protest 274 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: that I organized, and I don't even want to say organized, 275 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: because I'm not part of an organization. I'm not part 276 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: of a group. It's just me and so I just 277 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: that day, I tweeted to everybody, like, let's go out, 278 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: let's make traction. Let's show our city elected officials that 279 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: were not okay with what happened to George Floyd. We're 280 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: not okay with how the black community is treated. We 281 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: have to be allies, brown and black. After Unite and 282 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: we went out there and we created traction, and we 283 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: got the news out there and we got like, like 284 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: the word rolling. So it was a domino effect. And 285 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: I had a lot of messages like, hey, I saw 286 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: what you did in Fontana, I want to do it 287 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: in on terr I saw you did over there, I 288 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: want to do it here in Orange County, And like 289 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: it was traction. It was a domino effect. That's good. 290 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: So we got some strategies that were implementing some that 291 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: we're not going to talk about because there are strategies, 292 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: you know, but we got a few good strategies that 293 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: we're working with. And one of the things she said, 294 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: you know, like, so I work with organizations. Even though 295 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: I work directly with Priscilla, She's not a part of 296 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: my organization. She is a she's a voice for the people, 297 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: and that's the main thing she wants to emphasize, like 298 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: the manager or something like um so like the mentor Yeah, 299 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: I'm an integral part in her campaign. And what I 300 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: do is so I help a lot of candidates people 301 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: who want to run. So she's one of my main 302 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: ones right now, and and because of her passion. So 303 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: for instance, up once we talked about a few different things, 304 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: and will fast forward to like two weeks of us 305 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: knowing each other. Basically I met up with her and 306 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: her brother. She was like, look, I'm short, like x 307 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: amount of signatures. I gotta go out here and get 308 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: these signatures. I need to go door to door.

So we literally walked 311 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: up and down Fontana apartment complexus talking to people, letting 312 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: them know like hey, she's running for city council.

Like, she really took the time 315 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: to do that. You know, I'm like, and you know 316 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: me unc so I'm like, if she's really willing to 317 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: do this, you know, I'm a rock with you.

When you called me 319 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: and told me the story, I was like, let's get 320 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: them showing. Let's see if we can get more votes 321 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: and more signatures or whatever we can do. Uh. I 322 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: believe in in in and change. I believe in I 323 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: truly believe that we all can understand each other if 324 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: we wanted to, you know what I'm saying, and in 325 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: the places we can go if if we implement that 326 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: in that daily struggle, um, and then what you're doing, 327 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: it shows a lot of women because a lot of 328 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: our women blackguard and brown and white are not like 329 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 1: really showing who who they can be. It's it's nothing 330 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: when you see him as tworking, it's ten pounds of makeup, 331 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: is thinking that having a baby by this guy is 332 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: the way to go. Uh, they don't see future. And 333 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 1: and if you see a young woman out there on 334 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: that platform, such as yourself. I think it attracts and 335 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: if other women is attracted by that and then see 336 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: that and then want to be just okay, she doing it. 337 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: I'm twenty three. Why I can't do it, you know 338 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So if you can, if you just 339 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: get people to change their mind on that note, I 340 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 1: think you want already so and then you know, really 341 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: though so so for us to see it and then 342 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: just just apply yourself to that part, then I think 343 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: it's so good. We're doing every year, and you will 344 00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,040 Speaker 1: come on the show every year every year. I know 345 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 1: what I'm saying exactly, We're gonna do it win exactly. 346 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 1: So we're gonna I mean, And the point you made 347 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: about women is very important. We were just talking about 348 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: this the other day. I believe that glorifying sexuality is okay. 349 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: Like you said, all these women are working. I don't 350 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: think there's anything wrong with that because we in this 351 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: point in time, for um, women are powerful and we're 352 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: feminist and we're allowed to do what we please with 353 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: our body. So if if female rappers want to open 354 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: these doors for everybody to feel safe and do what 355 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: they want, because they have the right, because we have 356 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 1: they have the power to. I believe that's okay. If 357 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 1: if you believe that you want to be a female 358 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: rapper and you want to work on YouTube and that's 359 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: your goal, go ahead, go ahead, do it open heartedly. 360 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 1: And if and if that's just not my thing, then 361 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 1: it's not my thing. But I'm not gonna just just 362 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 1: like um disregard these women because that's their passion righting writing. 363 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: What's wrong is listen, listen. I have a daughter. You know, 364 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: whether she listened to your dad, you're not. You know, 365 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: at some point you're gonna be your own woman and 366 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 1: then you make your own decisions. But I've always told 367 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: her the way you carry yourself is the way people 368 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: are gonna see you. If you out here tworking and 369 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: getting on the ground shaking your ass, that God is 370 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: looking down at you shaking your ass. He don't see 371 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 1: you as manage material. He see O. She with the business, 372 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: Let me get at her. She's not looking at it 373 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: like that. So the way you carry yourself, whether you're 374 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: turken tworking, wrapping or doing whatever you have to have 375 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: that you know what I'm saying that that you have 376 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 1: to have an esteem or regard about yourself. But there 377 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: you go. So we were having this conversation earlier and 378 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: back to you know, what you were saying is very true. 379 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: We do believe that we have to empower women because 380 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: we we do need to empower them. They have a 381 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: voice that needs to be heard. You know us too, 382 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: and which will make us rise to the occasion. Everybody 383 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: needs to do better. Iron shark and iron short sort 384 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 1: of speak. But now what we were talking about as 385 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: far as there's a difference between glorifying and objectifying, those 386 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: are two different things, and we kind of get those 387 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: misconscrewed a little bit. So, uh, when you when you 388 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: objectify gap maybe, yeah, that's a difference between when you 389 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: objectify sexuality and when you glorify it. Because our bodies 390 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: are beautiful things. We should glorify our bodies. We should 391 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 1: glorify our sexuality. There's nothing wrong with that. Now. Tworking, 392 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: in my opinion, does not glorify your sexuality as an 393 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: exploitation tool. But like you're saying, if if a young 394 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 1: woman chooses to twork, now here's the thing. Like you said, 395 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: I have two daughters, so I don't want my daughters 396 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: to be out there t working on the floor. That's 397 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: not what I want for them. However, I'm going to 398 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: take the ownership and the responsibility to number one, teach 399 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: them something different. And if you do decide to work 400 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 1: on the floor, that's not the only thing you know 401 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,479 Speaker 1: how to do. You're working on the floor because you 402 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: want to do it. It's fun for you. But you 403 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: know what you also know how to do. You know 404 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: how to invest in the stock market, You own your 405 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: own companies. You are self made and self relying and 406 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 1: self sufficient. Now, however, somebody chooses to judge you based 407 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: off of what they saw on you, that's their own 408 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: I'm speaking on being disrespectful. Okay, what I see is 409 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: how I'm gonna come at you. You know what I'm saying. 410 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: And you've got a lot of young men that don't 411 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 1: respect women period and now today and that and that 412 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 1: creates a problem. It's a problem. And and some cats 413 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 1: don't think here, they think with the other one. So 414 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: when they see you twerking, they take that as something else. 415 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: We all in the hood, we all sit there and 416 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: we watched and they're not only that you got. I'm 417 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: talking about the eight year old kids that's tworking, like 418 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 1: the thirty that's triggering, like the thirty five. So there's 419 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: a difference between obviously child exploitation and women because when 420 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: when you're a woman, day right, right, But but when 421 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,199 Speaker 1: you're a woman and you're independent and you do what 422 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: you want and you pay your own bills and yourself made, 423 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 1: I believe you should be able to make your own decisions. 424 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: And if and if you see me at the club's working, 425 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 1: I don't want you to only take that home with 426 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: you and say, well, that's all she's about. Like, no, 427 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: because women have regular lives too. I just wanted the 428 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: reason why you have rape. No, let me tell you. 429 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: I'm trying to tell you. I live in the neighborhood, 430 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: and I know why cats come in women. We have 431 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: right because of rapists, not because of what women wear. No, no, no, 432 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: So okay, I'm a man, Okay, we're not Okay, we 433 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 1: don't gowhere else because I no, no, no, okay, it's 434 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 1: not this woman's fault that when you know, but just 435 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 1: listen to me. So if she's volumptuous, she got weak 436 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: and talk freely on here, so you know she's volumptionous. 437 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: She got a big old ass and big old titties, 438 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: and you think it looked good. Right, you better know 439 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: how to control your own self. That's not her problem. 440 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: But that's they don't know. Some men don't know are 441 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: young Are young men today are very disrespectful even if 442 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: a woman don't want to respond back, you all kind 443 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: of bitches and everything else.

But for real, though, 471 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: we need to check our kids. We need to we 472 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: need to teach them better than what we're doing. And 473 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 1: and and we need to get in the neighborhood. We 474 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: need to show and our people need to know black game, 475 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: Brown need to know that it's other things after prison, 476 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: it's other things. After we got more women going to 477 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 1: prison in the neighborhood than dudes. Now, why is that 478 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: it's getting that bad? So how do how do we 479 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 1: change that by providing resources? Exactly? But and that's the 480 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: defund the police statement that everybody seems to wild wild 481 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: out about it's um. Defund does not mean abolish, it 482 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: means re allocate. So when we are re allocate the 483 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: millions billions of dollars that the police are getting and 484 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: we put them into resources for the community, then we 485 00:25:55,680 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: see a better outcome. UM, predominantly white neighborhoods, all do 486 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: you have that their resources are flourishing, Their kids go 487 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 1: to the best programs, the best schools, they have the 488 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: best community resources. We had Carn's, we had pool more 489 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:16,919 Speaker 1: than the m Yeah, it was a lot of different 490 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: programs coming up, you know, in the seventies and eighties, 491 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: and that's what we're trying to get back to. But 492 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: here's the thing. Those were like federally and nationally funded programs. 493 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: So now we're just trying to start local, municipally funded 494 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: programs where everybody can start these in their own individual 495 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: cities and you can apply them and make them work 496 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: for what your needs are. Because what they need in 497 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,719 Speaker 1: Fontana may not be what they need in San Bernardino. 498 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: That's probably what not what they need in Riverside or 499 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 1: you know, somewhere else. So everybody's gonna adopt the policy 500 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: and make it work to your own individual needs were 501 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: deep running the police. If you take their resources from them, 502 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: what happens and somebody called and shaped my child, my 503 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: son just got shot. Um. Um, when you have an 504 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: accident on the freeway, they're already saying they're not responding 505 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: to certain things. Already, they're trying to show you that 506 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 1: you ain't coming. That's a scare tactic that they're using. 507 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: So fearmongering is one of the greatest tactics of the state. Okay, 508 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: the state loves the fearmonger. So one of the things 509 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: we have to realize is is this um. The reason 510 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: why we even want to defund the police is because 511 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 1: a lot of times the police don't even their intervention 512 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: is not required, all right, So for instance, let's just 513 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: say the police are called because a man who let's 514 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: say he's fifty one fifty, he's documented schizophrenic or something 515 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 1: to the effect of that. Well, why are the police called? 516 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: They don't know how to escalate to that situation. For instance, 517 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: let's say, like you just said, an accident happens on 518 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 1: the freeway, Why are the police the first people to arrive. 519 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: Why is the HP the first ones to arrive when 520 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: you don't when you're not medically trained. First ones who 521 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: should have got there should have been the paramedics, the 522 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 1: actual authorities that are needed that are warranted. So and 523 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,439 Speaker 1: when you say defund the police, the scenario I like 524 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: to use is is in our public school systems. They've 525 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: made schools and teachers work for the last twenty years. Defunded, 526 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:21,679 Speaker 1: they've made our public schools consistently function with the consistent 527 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: decreasing budget for the last twenty years. We're talking school 528 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,959 Speaker 1: and we're talking so we need st because we need 529 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: our schools. We need our schools for our youth. We 530 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 1: do too, we really do. If we if we had 531 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: more schools and more things for our youth, we wouldn't 532 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: need as much policing because the kids the the kids 533 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't be in the streets. You take, for instance, affluent areas, 534 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: they have resources. They don't have more police there, they 535 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: have less police forces. You know why, because the people 536 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: have resources, they're not selling drugs, they're not doing all 537 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: of the different unscrupulous activities because there's a multitude of resources. 538 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: So we're with what we want to have shooting, you 539 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: know what, We're going to have very very easily, very 540 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: easily if we implement If we started implementing resources for 541 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: Pooky and Ray ready to do. Pookie and Ray way 542 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: out there shooting each other because they're selling dope. Most 543 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: people ain't really game banging. No more like that. A 544 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: few places, but I'll tell you in San Bernardino, they're 545 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: not shooting each other over colors. They're shooting each other 546 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: over turf. It's all. It's all about turf battles. Now. 547 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: They want the block so they can sell that so 548 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: they can get their money. That's what it's all about now. 549 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: So if we can provide something for Pookie and Ray 550 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: Ray where you can really make some bread, bro, come 551 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: on over here, I got you. Let me teach you 552 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: some ship that I'm gonna really help you with a 553 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: skill to get actual pay. Ready to come to the 554 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 1: house and paint their money? Come on. If if I 555 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: got to you already know how we get down. So 556 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: if I got to send you to the church, folks 557 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: in the church folks, you come on. You know how 558 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: we get down. So but if we got to start 559 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: implementing these type of programs, that's what we need. So 560 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: Pookie and Ray Ray have resources. Because I can't tell 561 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: you to go work for McDonald's. When you've been selling 562 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,959 Speaker 1: dope for the last five years, you're making two three 563 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: hundred bucks a day. How much power would you have 564 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: city council? How much power do you have? More power 565 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: than people realize. So they're actually in charge um obviously 566 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: side to side with the mayor of where the city 567 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: budget goes. So for example, in Fontana, we have a 568 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: budget around a hundred million dollars for the city and 569 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: so Fontana p D gets sixty million of that and 570 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: whatever is left over almost almost sixty five now they 571 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: upped it. So whatever's leftover is like, that's for your schools, 572 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: that's work it out. You guys share that. And Fontana 573 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: PD gets sixty five million. Do they need that money? 574 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,719 Speaker 1: That's what we're saying. And when we talk about defund 575 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: the police, we're not talking about taking all of their money. 576 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: We're talking about five percent, tem percent, a little bit 577 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: like can you give us a little oppression? When they 578 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: said defunded police, it's like get rid of the police. 579 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: Grown no, because like in certain places that will work. 580 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: So you take Seattle, Washington, where they had chats, they 581 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: had the little autonomous zone and they kicked the police 582 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: out of like a like a six block eleven block 583 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: area for a couple of months, and it was pretty cool. 584 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: That can work in those places. That wouldn't work in Compton, 585 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: that wouldn't work in San Bernardino. Like we we understand that. 586 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: We know that, you know. So we're not saying, for instance, 587 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: totally defund the police as far as to abolish. Now, 588 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: when we say abolish ice, that's what we mean. We 589 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: mean abolish ice, you know, we mean get rid of 590 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: that whole organization as a whole. That's exactly what we mean. 591 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: But we mean defund the police because we do need 592 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: some police. I do believe in a community policing. Let's 593 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: just say, for instance, something happened in the hood, not 594 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: showing them, you know, not to put nobody on blast, 595 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: but somebody you know who knows you, respect you. He 596 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: over there tripping, he would listen to you before he 597 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: would listen to the police come in and tell him 598 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: to stop drinking and turn his music down, or whatever 599 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: the case may be. You could be a community activism, 600 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: you know, something like that when something happened in the community, 601 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: when they call, hey, we got a problem, they know 602 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: they're gonna call uncle James first and see if he 603 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: can come talk some sense into that or whatever. Deesa, 604 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,959 Speaker 1: I'll listen to you first. I'm over there tripping with 605 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: my baby mama or something. The police come, it's gonna 606 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: be a bad situation just by how their trained. But 607 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: you're gonna be like, nephew, listen to me. Who will 608 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: come on, nephew, and you know what to do? You know, 609 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 1: it's gonna you're gonna de escalate because we, like you said, 610 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: we know each other, but we're not in these positions 611 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: of authority or power to make you feel like you 612 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: have to listen to me. You're coming over like you're 613 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: siding with me. Like, nephew, I'm listening to you because 614 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: I love you and respect you. You my uncle, that's family. 615 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 1: We don't know these people coming into our communities telling 616 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: me I gotta obey you know, who the funk are you? 617 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: Why do I have to obey you? You know? But 618 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: I got history with you. I gotta report with you, 619 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: you know, and like we confuse people a lot, you 620 00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: know when I call you people, oh that's your uncle, 621 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, well, you gotta understand how how the black 622 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: community works. Like we got a history or a poor 623 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: that's my uncle, through respect and love, like you know, 624 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: through what we've been through. So but that's what we 625 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: need to get to. So like how she said, the 626 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: sixty five million at the police are getting, understand the 627 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 1: social and economic implications that this half. Okay, because less 628 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: than ninety so I mean, okay, so nent less than 629 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: three percent of Fontana p D don't even live in 630 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: San Bernardino County at all, and less than one are 631 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 1: black or brown Latino. Okay, So now that's it. So 632 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: now look at the money we're given and who we're 633 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 1: giving his money to. Now you know what my time 634 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: with the city of San Bernardino. Look what happens when 635 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: you start working with the city, become part of the 636 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 1: bureaucratic monster. In the bureaucratic machine. Okay, not only do 637 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 1: you get medical and benefits for you, you get it 638 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: for your immediate family and when you retire out like 639 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: they were. The reason why Fontano went San Bernardino went 640 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: bankrupt is when p D five and a few other 641 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: places were retiring. They were retiring these guys out at 642 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 1: their highest grossing year, providing medical for you, your wife 643 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: and your children for life. So you got guys who 644 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 1: were coming straight out of the academy seventeen eighteen years old, 645 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,959 Speaker 1: putting their twenty in, getting out at forty years old, 646 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,240 Speaker 1: and now you got to pay these guys a hundred 647 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: and eighty thousand bucks for the rest of day life now, 648 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 1: plus provide medical benefits for them and their families. He's 649 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,839 Speaker 1: forty years old and he's in good health. How long 650 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 1: do you think he's gonna last. So that's what happened 651 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: to a lot of our money. So when we say 652 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: defund them, we're really talking about these guys are overpaid 653 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 1: for what they're doing. And now all the money that 654 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:45,360 Speaker 1: comes from our taxes of Fontana San Bernardino, our local cities, 655 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,880 Speaker 1: will they live somewhere else? They're spending their money in 656 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:55,279 Speaker 1: Beverly Hills, in all the places that they live. Your campaign, definitely, 657 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: part of my campaign is um forward thinking. So if 658 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 1: we a better tomorrow, we have to do things for tomorrow, 659 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: not thinking of the past or not thinking of like 660 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 1: I feel like we're most of the time we're going backwards, 661 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 1: you know, because even just with the simple phrase of 662 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: defunding the police, people don't know what the meaning is. 663 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: And then everyone freaks out like how you thought, Like, oh, 664 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 1: I thought you meant abolished. I thought you meant disregard 665 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 1: it completely. But no, it just means take away five percent, 666 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: take away ten percent, Just that we're asking for a 667 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: small little chunk of your money for our youth, for 668 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 1: our environmental issues, for social justice that we need, the 669 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: social justice reform that we need. Fontana is a beautiful city, 670 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. And a lot of these cities 671 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 1: are beautiful cities. And the fact is we have the 672 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 1: resources to reallocate funds evenly, and we just don't do it. 673 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 1: These people in power now, these elected officials, they might 674 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 1: have had a good goal at first. They might have 675 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: been for the people at the very beginning, but now 676 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,399 Speaker 1: they just lost track. They lost track because they're part 677 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 1: of the system, you know. They they're just up in 678 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: that position of power. They're um like hand in hand 679 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 1: with the mayor, hand in hand with people from Congress, 680 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: you know, um, and they're just they lost they lost 681 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 1: train of the vision. And the vision is that we 682 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 1: need social justice for all our communities. We need everybody 683 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 1: to have the best opportunities possible because we have the 684 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: resources for it. We're just not putting the money in 685 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: the right places for us. What what I've seen in 686 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:32,240 Speaker 1: a lot of campaigns is is people they run for office, 687 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 1: they win, and they just switch up on you. You 688 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,319 Speaker 1: think you're gonna lit them to change, Definitely not. I 689 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:44,240 Speaker 1: think part of um, what I'm advocating for is government transparency. 690 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,239 Speaker 1: So we have to know like when these decisions are 691 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: being made, why they're being made, who's making them, when 692 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,840 Speaker 1: are they making them, and how can you change it 693 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: if you don't like it? You know, So in Fontana 694 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 1: we have a big warehouse problem. Um they're just putting 695 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: them in all these residential areas, which is not good 696 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 1: for our quality of life, the small you know, there's 697 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,359 Speaker 1: a lot of repercussions that come with it. So it's 698 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,919 Speaker 1: just it's it's not fair to just do what the 699 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,880 Speaker 1: city wants and benefit of the city without thinking of 700 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 1: the people. So government transparency is a big, big, big, 701 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 1: big thing for me because up until a lot that 702 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 1: long ago, I didn't know exactly how it worked. I 703 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: didn't know that we can fight against these these decisions. 704 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,279 Speaker 1: If the majority of the community does not want this 705 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 1: warehouse in this certain area, we can fight that. And 706 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't know, or a lot of 707 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: people don't care. And it's and that's the that's the part. 708 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,839 Speaker 1: It's getting people to care enough to register to vote, 709 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: getting people to care enough to vote, getting registered people 710 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: to care about things that actually affect them in their 711 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: everyday lives because we're busy. I mean, a lot of 712 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 1: people have two jobs before corona or now that you 713 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,720 Speaker 1: know things are changing because of the coronavirus, but before 714 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 1: people have two jobs, three jobs, like side hustles. We 715 00:37:58,160 --> 00:37:59,840 Speaker 1: you know, we have to make ends meet no matter what. 716 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 1: You gotta have a shig. One of the things that 717 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: I want to touch on that you were saying is 718 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 1: so one of the ways that we're gonna be rest assured, 719 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 1: and this is what I told Priscilla. You know, she 720 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,840 Speaker 1: has my dent undivided, you know, attention and help and support. 721 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 1: So one of the things that we emphasize is is 722 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 1: we're grassroots. Okay, So we don't accept any big dollar donations, 723 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 1: and we're selective of who we accept money from. So 724 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:32,400 Speaker 1: we don't accept money from certain organizations. We don't and 725 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 1: the reason why we don't do this is is to 726 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,359 Speaker 1: assure the people we're not gonna switch up on you. 727 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,440 Speaker 1: The most you can donate to us is two hundred 728 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 1: and fifty dollars. All right, that's it a grassroots campaign. 729 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 1: So we're not accepting, you know, five six thousand dollars 730 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,799 Speaker 1: because if this company gives us five thousand dollars, but 731 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 1: you only gave me ten twenty bucks, why do you 732 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 1: believe I'm gonna do what you want to post to 733 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: the people who's giving me all the money that I want. 734 00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:02,279 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna let you know I'm policing myself. That is. 735 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 1: But that's that's the way it used to go. So 736 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,279 Speaker 1: that's called chrony capitalism. So we're gonna put it into 737 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 1: chrony capitalism and nepotism. You know, your homies getting your 738 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 1: homies in and all this money that changes elections. With 739 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders did he raised more money than anybody in 740 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,840 Speaker 1: a presidential election, and he did it by grassroots campaign. 741 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: So what's what's what's your approach and how she should 742 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,720 Speaker 1: run her campaign? So we got a few different approach. 743 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: One of the main things we're gonna do, and this 744 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,840 Speaker 1: is just the format of all of what I do 745 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,840 Speaker 1: with all my my candidates. I tell you, whatever district 746 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,719 Speaker 1: you're in, whatever municipality you're in, I want you to 747 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,400 Speaker 1: go knock on doors, go talk to the people, and 748 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,799 Speaker 1: go ask the people what they want. Take three to 749 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: five minutes of whoever is willing to listen and talk 750 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,960 Speaker 1: to you, because I can't do anything for you if 751 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 1: you don't tell me, if you don't tell me how 752 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,400 Speaker 1: it affects you on what I could do. So we 753 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,439 Speaker 1: need to go to all the people and let's ask 754 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 1: the people what they want. And now let's break that down. 755 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 1: In the top three things, seventy people said this, another, 756 00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,280 Speaker 1: you know, fifteen say at this, and that last percent 757 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:05,440 Speaker 1: said this, or let may be the last. Being honest 758 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,959 Speaker 1: with yourself and sincere about what you're doing, it's gonna 759 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 1: go a long way. But you gotta sprinkle let a 760 00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,759 Speaker 1: little that bullshit in it. Of course, mix it up 761 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,880 Speaker 1: and then you got that the right flavor, you know, 762 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:23,800 Speaker 1: just sprinkle a little bullstro because honest person ain't gonna 763 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,959 Speaker 1: make it. You gotta you gotta give up a little 764 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,840 Speaker 1: bullshit and and you gotta let him shieve at you 765 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,759 Speaker 1: for real, you real. And so instead of stirring up 766 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 1: the pot via talking about people in unnecessary banter, we're 767 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 1: gonna stare up the pot with with showing you what 768 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 1: these guys are doing with your tax dollars. That's how 769 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,239 Speaker 1: we're gonna stir the pot up. We're gonna let you know, look, 770 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:48,719 Speaker 1: you're elected officials. Let me show you when get shot. 771 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:53,600 Speaker 1: You know. So I wnna say Remington's going out of business. 772 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,799 Speaker 1: But they didn't just make one, right, they made a 773 00:40:55,800 --> 00:41:00,160 Speaker 1: lot of it. We all got that's all, you know. Yeah, yeah, 774 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,720 Speaker 1: you're so here. And here's the thing.

Okay, So now let's start opening up 805 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,040 Speaker 1: some of these books that we never did because we 806 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,080 Speaker 1: want to get some ship that we never had, right, 807 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,200 Speaker 1: So let's open up some books that we never did. 808 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 1: Because we understand. What we don't know is in the 809 00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,399 Speaker 1: fucking books. That's where it's at. We got to read 810 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 1: the books, and you got right if you want, if 811 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 1: you want something that you don't have to have to 812 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,920 Speaker 1: do something you've never done. So we've got to get 813 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,239 Speaker 1: our people registered to vote. Now. We're not gonna win 814 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,080 Speaker 1: this election without our people voting for us. So first 815 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 1: and foremost, we can't deter people to say, hey, if 816 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 1: you're a felon, you can't vote. We gotta let you 817 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,560 Speaker 1: know if you're a felon, look into what you need 818 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 1: to do to vote. Usually, in most cases in California, 819 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,759 Speaker 1: once you're on with probation or parole, you can vote. Now, 820 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,719 Speaker 1: if you've got certain things on your record, then yeah, 821 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,160 Speaker 1: you might have to go through what they call a 822 00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,479 Speaker 1: California certificate or rehabilitation, and there's a few other things 823 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,800 Speaker 1: that you gotta do, but we have to cross that 824 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,720 Speaker 1: bridge when we get there. Everybody's case individually is different, 825 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 1: but for most people, I want to say seventy to 826 00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,800 Speaker 1: eighty percent of the people, once you're done with probation 827 00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,919 Speaker 1: or parole, you can vote in California. That's a fact. 828 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:27,399 Speaker 1: I want everybody to Google that. Now we gotta tell 829 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,719 Speaker 1: we gotta start emphasizing being registered to vote, don't wait 830 00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 1: till the last minute. So where it's two days before 831 00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,200 Speaker 1: the election and now you're talking about, well let me 832 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 1: go get registered and some other ship. You know, So 833 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,040 Speaker 1: we got to get registered to vote a SAP. We 834 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,479 Speaker 1: need to know who we're gonna vote for. And look, look, 835 00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 1: this is this is my candidate. I don't agree with 836 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,439 Speaker 1: a hundred percent of everything she says. She's not gonna 837 00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,279 Speaker 1: agree it with a hundred percent of everything we say. 838 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 1: But we know we agree the majority on most of 839 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,480 Speaker 1: the things we say. That's how we align, That's how 840 00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,040 Speaker 1: we align. So let's not alienate ourselves on what we 841 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,960 Speaker 1: don't agree on. Let's align ourselves of what we do 842 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,359 Speaker 1: agree on. So basically, she's the ones that's doing all 843 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:09,880 Speaker 1: the ride you pretty much. It's there, that that second 844 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:14,600 Speaker 1: voice for her. Yeah, she knew she wanted to do 845 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,440 Speaker 1: something right. You know, how you get them, you know, 846 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:18,800 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, I look at all these kids, 847 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:20,439 Speaker 1: you know, and I see the spark in their eye 848 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:21,839 Speaker 1: and I love it. Like I told her that day, 849 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:23,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, we're all out there with mask on and 850 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,000 Speaker 1: I'm like, and I just seen, like the way you 851 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 1: were talking, Like I've seen the spark in your eye. 852 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 1: I knew you were serious. Out of all the people 853 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,640 Speaker 1: talking that day, I said, she does. And I told 854 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,560 Speaker 1: her that, I said, all the people that were talking 855 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,319 Speaker 1: that night at that protest, I said, I knew you 856 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:42,640 Speaker 1: were serious. I said, I knew you were serious. You know. So, Um, 857 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,439 Speaker 1: what we have to really do is is that once 858 00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,279 Speaker 1: we align ourselves, we gotta start saying, look, this is 859 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,080 Speaker 1: the guy we're running with. This is our you know, 860 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,839 Speaker 1: our girl we're running with. These are our candidates.

Also, the rules are kind of sorry, 871 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:20,319 Speaker 1: I don't want to cut you off. But the rules 872 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 1: are kind of tedious and this is just San Bernardino County. UM. 873 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:29,120 Speaker 1: They implemented into a thousands seventeen a district system. So 874 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,640 Speaker 1: I'm running for District two, which is certain streets and 875 00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:36,000 Speaker 1: certain areas. It's like a very middle area in Fontana, 876 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 1: so it's from point A to point B, so it's 877 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 1: a little chunk in the middle.

So when we do massies, gathering, these protests, 885 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,719 Speaker 1: these rallies, things on the bike set, different things like that. 886 00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:07,239 Speaker 1: So she works with other people too, And like we said, 887 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,080 Speaker 1: other people are getting inspired to run for office.
