Speaker 1: private sector because she is still reaking havoc in hell

32
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: on our community. She's introduced a resolution to race based caucuses,

33
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: taking aim at the Congressional Black Caucus. The Senate confirmed

34
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: Jay Clayton as the D and I chief, replacing Tolcy Gabbert.

35
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,039

Speaker 2: Is this good for the blacks?

41
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: Joy read We gonna find out. Facts in fiction continue

42
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: to swirl as tensions increasing. The Nolan Wells case a

44
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: day of his disappearances, raising a lot of questions, and

45
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: we have isolated audio for that. We're going to talk

46
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: about all of that and so much more on this

Speaker 1: now it's time for your situational awareness. First up, we

49
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: are going to talk about this tragic shooting in Madison, Wisconsin.

50
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: Thirty eight year old Corey Ruiz was the subject of

51
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: a police shooting. Of course, there's now an independent investigation going,

52
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: but a police chief, the police chief, John Patterson, addressed

53
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: a press conference, and there was a protester that was like,

54
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: not on my watch, I'm reclaiming my time in this narrative.

55
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and roll that clip.

56
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 7: The Finnis of trust in the city right now did

57
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:43,880

58
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 8: Well, we can to shut this down. You can stop

00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 8: talking because we don't want to hear anything you've been saying.

60
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,839
Speaker 8: You're going to say the same thing you all say

61
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 8: every time a black body gets shot down in this city.

62
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 8: This is a corrupt city.

63
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 9: That's right.

64
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 5: Have no fear the anti Zionist here.

65
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 8: Do you understand me? Won't be able to talk today

66
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,040

00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 8: We have the power. The city of Madison is corrupt,

00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 8: knife in this young man's hand. We don't want to

77
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 8: hear that today. We didn't want to hear it when

78
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 8: they put their neck on George Floyd's neck. We don't

91
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: Be a member of a tap I it is all

92
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: no all power to all people.

93
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: Oh okay, power to all people?

94
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 10: Okay, can we get him on the ballot for twenty

95
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 10: twenty eight?

96
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: I think I found by President.

97
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 10: I finally found my candidate. I'm excited get him to

98
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 10: South Carolina.

99
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: They have been protesting like consistently about this shooting death,

100
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: and as a result of that, there's an independent investigation.

101
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: They're now investigating it as a homicide. I think what's

102
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: unfortunate here is so often we have to do so

103
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: much just to be treated as human. And I think

104
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: you saw some of that pain and frustration in his

105
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: remarks because powerful we laughed a little bit, but we

106
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: also understand that, well, we don't know how we would respond. Yeah,

107
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: we're there with them in Madison.

108
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. I mean, it's matter. But you know the

109
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 4: thing that always stands out to me when you google

110
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 4: Corey Ruiz and you're trying to find information about this,

111
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 4: one of the first things that comes up is an

112
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 4: article about this person's past history with the police, and

113
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 4: these efforts to discredit and besmirch and change the narrative

114
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 4: without answering the central question about whether or not this

115
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 4: was justified. And obviously the community and those of us

116
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 4: who've seen the video say no, this was not justified

117
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 4: at all. This was wrong, and so that outrage is

118
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 4: incredibly justified, right, that outrage is necessary, and hopefully it

119
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 4: awakens outrage and other people.

120
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, speaking of outrage and outrages, let's go ahead

121
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: and tap Nancy Mason because she cannot help herself. She

122
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: is still on BS because she doesn't know what else

123
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: to do, and as she finds her exit ramp from Congress,

124
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: she has introduced House Resolution fourteen fifty four because she

125
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: does not believe there should be any race based caucuses. Y'all,

126
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: I don't understand what their infatuation is with this. I

127
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: can think of a gazillion caucuses I would like to

128
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: see go Freedom Caucus, TEA Party Caucus, KKK Caucus, like

129
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: they can go, But why are they targeting these Like

130
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: the fact that she's like, let me find an on

131
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: ramp with the Committee on House Administration to revoke and

132
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: prevent the registration of cmos that's a congressional member organization.

133
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: Y'all know.

134
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: I take this personally because I am a former Congressional

135
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: Black Caucus ED super irritated by this, because what this

136
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: does is it would essentially defund like staffing capabilities.

137
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: Members would no longer pay dues to these organizations.

138
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: And while some people at home can say, well, they

139
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: can still meet and figure out an agenda. Well, what

140
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: staff is going to be in place to move forward

141
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: with an agenda? Somebody else might say, why are you

142
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: giving this any time? Well, I would not take it

143
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: seriously if they didn't defund DEI and if they didn't

144
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: ban our textbooks and other books.

145
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 2: So, y'all, I gotta take this real serious, which y'all.

146
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 10: Think, yeah, And I think that I have to blame

147
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 10: the Supreme Court for this, because, you know, by destroying

148
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 10: affirmative action, ending affirmative action and the attacks on DEI

149
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 10: sort of opening up this idea that there can't be

150
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 10: any race based solutions unless they are focused on enhancing

151
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 10: the power and prestige and opportunities for white people. Essentially,

152
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 10: what we're seeing in the United States is that white

153
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 10: Christian conservatives are being created as the only protected class

154
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 10: and every other protected class is being wiped out. This

155
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 10: may not seem like it matters to the average person,

156
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 10: but if you can't have a black caucus, a congressional

157
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 10: black caucus, you soon won't be able to have a

158
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 10: black interest organization at your high school or college. You

159
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 10: won't be able to have a black interest organization or club.

160
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 10: That's funded and that operates at your university. This is

161
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 10: where this is going, this war on us and of

162
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 10: course on all people of color, because she wants the

163
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 10: Asian Caucus, Thispanic Caucus, all of it to go away.

164
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 10: Is all about saying we can't organize amongst ourselves. Only

165
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 10: white Americans can be protected by the federal government.

166
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: And I think this is the other prior so y'all.

167
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: At the end of her statement where she announces this

168
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: resolution because it's so important to her, she says, we

169
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: represent all of our constituents, not just the ones who

170
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,239
Speaker 1: look like us. If you do not agree, you should

171
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: not be serving in Congress. It is time to end

172
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: federally sanctioned discrimination in this institution. And for me, I'm

173
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: just like you know, this actually isn't discrimination. To gather

174
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: with like minded people who have similar districts and similar values.

175
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: We have always called the CBC the conscience of the Congress,

176
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: and it's interesting to me that she doesn't understand how

177
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: the conscience of the Congress moves the needle on policy

178
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: for poor white people, for poor indigenous folks, like there's

179
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: a reason why there's a tricoccus, and they find things

180
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: some policy issues to work on together. But I also

181
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,719
Speaker 1: will say family that this is why I also think

182
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: it's very mission critical that we're not always like, well,

183
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: this is irrelevant and why are we doing this and

184
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Garrison and I are in Nashville right now,

185
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: his lovely bride win in the world out from the

186
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: National Virus Nociation Young Lawyer's Division just a few days ago,

187
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: and last year joy I decided I was like, Okay,

188
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to come back home. It's the one hundredth

189
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: anniversary of the National Bar. Instead of me criticizing on

190
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: the sidelines, I'm going to get back engage. These are

191
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: the things we have to do to add value to

192
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: our orgs and bring our own gifts to the table.

193
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: If we just are on the sidelines like oh it's irrelevant,

194
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: well make us relevant, but don't try to give them

195
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: ammunition the Edward Blooms of the world, the Steven Miller's

196
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: of the world, the Nancy Maces ammunition to take us out.

197
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: That's what I think has been done essentially here.

198
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to I agree.

199
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 4: I think you have to look at the fact that

200
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 4: this you mentioned, the National Bar Association just celebrated this

201
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 4: year is one hundred and one years right, one hundred

202
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 4: years ago, we were thinking about building institutions. We were

203
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 4: thinking about building the infrastructure we needed so that twenty

204
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 4: five thirty years later we could get things like the

205
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 4: Voting Rights Act and we could advance civil rights in

206
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 4: this country. And that is really the point in this moment,

207
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 4: when we kind of tear down these organizations, in these institutions,

208
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 4: we are being incredibly shortsighted around what it takes to

209
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 4: actually build political power. We have to take that very

210
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 4: seriously for ourselves. And I'm telling you, if you look

211
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 4: at what Nancy Mays is doing, I can tell you

212
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 4: so clearly. It's so clear she takes black political power seriously.

213
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 4: The question is do we take black political power seriously?

214
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 10: Come on, come on, preach out, amen, And to build

215
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 10: on what Garrison has said, I think people forget that,

216
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 10: you know, up until the twentieth century, the early twentieth century,

217
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 10: when we had institutions and organizations like the NAACP and

218
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 10: other interest organizations form the only place that black folks

219
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 10: could organize within the church. There's a reason that so

220
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 10: many and most of our civil rights leaders were pastors,

221
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 10: because it used to be. We had to only organized

222
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 10: in church. It was the only place we could be unsurveiled.

223
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 10: So these institutions may not feel like they mean something

224
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 10: to you in your day to day life, but building

225
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 10: them is the way that we were able to expand

226
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 10: our access to power. And that is what people like

227
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 10: Nancy Mays fear. They don't want us to be able

228
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 10: to organize in the open. They want to drive us

229
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 10: back underground where they think that, you know, we won't

230
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 10: be able to actually move policy.

231
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 2: That's exactly right.

232
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: Enjoy speaking of modern day, Jay Edgar Hoover, please talk

233
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: to us about Jay Clayton.

234
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 10: So, Jay Clayton is a former at least at this point,

235
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 10: they have somebody who's semi qualified.

236
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 3: He's a former prosecutor.

237
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 10: He is taking over as D and I from Bill Poulty,

238
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 10: who is a real estate developer.

239
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 3: If you've ever heard of POLTYE. Holmes, that's him. He's

240
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 3: the heir to that fortune.

241
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 10: And Donald Trump had to walk away from him as

242
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 10: the new D and I because he's so unqualified. Even

243
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 10: Republicans were like, it's to know. But the problem with

244
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 10: the new guy, Jay Clayton, is that when asked a

245
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 10: very direct question who won the twenty twenty election.

246
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 3: He did the thing. He couldn't answer the question.

247
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 10: John ASoft did a brilliant job of cornering him on this.

248
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 10: But what it shows is that even if you have

249
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 10: the minimal qualifications for a change to take this job,

250
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 10: one of the new white men jobs that they are

251
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 10: making available in the Trump regime, you still have to

252
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 10: give Donald Trump his ego, his ego boost. You have

253
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 10: to not admit that he lost the election in twenty twenty.

254
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 10: And to me, as John Osof said in a job interview,

255
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 10: if you can't answer that simple question, you really are

256
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 10: not qualified.

257
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: That's that. So we have the clip of John Ossoff.

258
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 5: Who won the twenty twenty election.

259
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 7: You know, I'm not going to do this with you.

260
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 5: This is a job interview. We've established that you have

261
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 5: an obligation to pretty honest and forthright with the committee. Yes,

262
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 5: you do have an obligation to be honest and forthright

263
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 5: with the committee. Yes, who won the twenty twenty election.

264
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 7: Like I said, I'm not going to get into that with.

265
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 5: You, but you do have an obligation to be honest

266
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 5: and forthright with the committee.

267
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 7: Is anything that I just said not honest or forthright.

268
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 5: Yes, you're not being honest or forthright. Who won the

269
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 5: twenty question? We can keep doing this, well, we're going

270
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 5: to keep doing it because you're not being honest and

271
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 5: forth right.

272
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 7: I'm not going to engage in the theater.

273
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 5: It's a simple question, mister Clayton's, and I've answered who

274
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 5: won the twenty twenty presidential election?

275
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 7: I've answered it.

276
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 5: You're here asking for the support of senators to lead

277
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 5: America's intelligence community. We've established that you have an obligation

278
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 5: to be honest and forthright with this committee and with

279
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 5: the American public. But you refuse to answer a simple

280
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 5: matter of fact about the twenty twenty election. Is that right?

281
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 7: No, that's not right.

282
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 5: Then answer the question, who won the twenty twenty election?

283
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 5: Answer it? What is your answer?

284
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 7: I've given you my answer.

285
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 5: What is your answer? You refuse to answer a basic

286
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 5: question about who won a presidential election, but you asked

287
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 5: to lead America's intelligence community. Isn't it humiliating to be

288
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 5: unable to answer this question? To indulge the president's delusions?

289
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 5: We know you know everybody in this room knows the

290
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 5: truthful answer to that question. Why can you not give it.

291
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 7: I think I gave you the answer.

292
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 5: Are you aware that Director Gabbard was present at the

293
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 5: Fulton County Raid in Georgia earlier this year?

294
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 7: You discussed that with me yesterday in your office.

295
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 5: Are you aware that Director Gabbard was present at the

296
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 5: Fulton County Raid earlier this year?

297
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 7: You brought it to me?

298
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 5: What is going on here? You've said at the beginning

299
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 5: of this you have an obligation to be honest, and

300
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 5: the fourth year so with the committee, I'm asking a

301
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 5: very simple question. Are you aware of a Director Gabbard

302
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 5: was present at the Fulton County Raid earlier this year? Yes?

303
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 5: Or no? Are you aware I was? You won't answer

304
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 5: that question.

305
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 7: I just said I was made aware of it by

306
00:14:59,160 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 7: you yesterday.

307
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 5: The first time you learned but Director Gabbard was president

308
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 5: at that raid was in my office yesterday.

309
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 7: It was the first time that in my recollection. I've

310
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 7: thought about it recently. Now, what was I aware of

311
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 7: it before? What you brought to my attention yesterday?

312
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 5: I had not, So you had not known I had not.

313
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 7: I had not thought about it until you brought it

314
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 7: to my attention.

315
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 5: Yet your answer is lack credibility. Your testimony lacks credibility.

316
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 5: You're being evasive and you're not being candid or forthright.

317
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 5: And everybody across the country is going to watch this

318
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 5: and know that my wow, wow, the contortions that there.

319
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: You ask you guys, But we got a new dance

320
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 2: from that though. He's it what what we got it first?

321
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 4: Right?

322
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 10: His was not that on beat off off ad app

323
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 10: guy in either order twenty eight I keep on.

324
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 3: Enjoy right.

325
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: On all people app tap? What's the app tap tickets?

326
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 10: So wild is that this is the performance each and

327
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 10: every one of the nominees has had to do. You

328
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 10: cannot admit that Donald Trump lost in twenty twenty and

329
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 10: get a job in this administration.

330
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 3: You can't.

331
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 10: Donald Trump requires it for his ego because he's got

332
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 10: dementia and he can't stand or handle the fact that

333
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 10: he lost. They all have to do this performance. It's

334
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 10: embarrassing and humiliating as alsof right, but they have to

335
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 10: do it, and he got confirmed.

336
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: Well, let me tell y'all something that we're proud of

337
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: in this moment. HBCUs continue to rise in the face

338
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: of all types of Nancy Mayce, types of ignorance, and

339
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: Jay Clayton's uh. Coppin State University is doing something that's

340
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: turning some narratives on its head.

341
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 2: Talk to us about it.

342
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, So Coppin State University's president, President Anthony Jenkins, shout out,

343
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 4: has implemented a program offering in state tuition to students

344
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 4: from states with no HBCU. So if you are from

345
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 4: a state with no HBCU, you get to go to

346
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 4: Coppin State, which is in Baltimore, Maryland. Am I right, Baltimore,

347
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 4: shout out to Baltimore. You get to go there with instituition.

348
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 4: I think, joy, you are in state? What do you

349
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 4: what do you make of this?

350
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 10: I think that is a wonderful thing because as we're

351
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 10: seeing you know, DEI destroyed and black students sort of

352
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 10: pushed away and shunned from a lot of predominantly white institutions,

353
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 10: options are needed and good education is so important in

354
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 10: order to get you know where you want to go

355
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 10: in life. So proud of copp and State for stepping up,

356
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 10: and I hope more universities will do it as well,

357
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 10: because it's the affordability that's the problem. People don't go

358
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,959
Speaker 10: to People don't, you know, skip college generally because they

359
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 10: don't care.

360
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 3: It's because they can't afford it.

361
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 10: You know, we just saw what happened to Howard University

362
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 10: where lots of students couldn't afford to get pay their tuition.

363
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 3: So big up to Coppon State. I love it.

364
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 4: I think it's huge. And I'll say this, this kind

365
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 4: of connects back to this CBC point right our institutions there.

366
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 4: We are living in a time of like, you never

367
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,959
Speaker 4: know what you've got until it's gone, and we're seeing

368
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 4: things being stripped away and leaving and then we're realizing, oh,

369
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,239
Speaker 4: there's value. I kind of came up in a time

370
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 4: where folks were always questioning the importance of an HBO

371
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 4: Oh do we even need it?

372
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 3: You hear these.

373
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 4: Conversations all the time, And now we're seeing nobody else

374
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 4: is stepping up to make sure the black students have

375
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 4: opportunities in this increasingly unaffordable America. But at HBCU is

376
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 4: and that's why our institutions are important. So this is

377
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 4: this is huge. Congratulations to copp and State and to

378
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 4: all the students in Washington and Colorado and Wyoming who

379
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 4: can now go and have.

380
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: Instincts that is true. I will tell you all this

381
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: too in California.

382
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 2: In California, nobody on.

383
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: And I will say, you know the other thing that

384
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: is phenomenal about this to me, I always talk about

385
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: mutual aid networks and there have been these different types

386
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: of experiences and gifts and industries where you see we

387
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: come together in our greatest time of need. So when

388
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: people are about to be hurt the most economically, and

389
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: HBCU is saying, we're going to still fill the gap.

390
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: We don't have everything we need. We know that we're

391
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: getting short change by our state and certainly by the Feds,

392
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: but we're still going to fill the gap. And it's

393
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: at a time where everything the cost is rising everywhere,

394
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: tuition prices are rising period, and they're like, no, we're

395
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: going to actually do the reverse. And I think that

396
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: that says so much about real leadership and integrity in

397
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: this moment.

398
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 2: So shout out today, shaking of integrity.

399
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: It's might not be some financial reparations, but it still

400
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: feels like Democrats are like, Okay, well maybe the South

401
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: got something to say.

402
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 2: Joy read what they're doing.

403
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 10: So the South is going to be speaking quite loudly

404
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 10: in the twenty twenty eight primaries. South Carolina, which was

405
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 10: the the sort of I guess, the defining state, the

406
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 10: third state that would basically break the tie between Iowa

407
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 10: and New Hampshire. The two super white states that were

408
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 10: always first, will now be first in the nation. They

409
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 10: will be first to hold their primary. Some people saying

410
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 10: that that's not great for black power, but not everybody

411
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 10: agrees with that. Some people are quite happy about it.

412
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 10: A queue Tequila Johnson.

413
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:04,959
Speaker 3: Please.

414
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 6: Everybody keep asking, oh why Democrats don't invest in a

415
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 6: Southern strategy, especially considering that fifty six percent of all

416
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 6: black people live in the South, and that black people

417
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 6: are the Democratic Party's most loyal voting block. And what

418
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 6: I tell people is Democrats are afraid of investing in

419
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 6: the South. Democrats are afraid of investing in and funding

420
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 6: true black leadership, funding our media outlets, funding our black strategists,

421
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 6: funding our black organizations, funding our black operatives, funding our

422
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 6: candidates at the rights that they need to be funded at.

423
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 6: Democrats aren't afraid of the South. They are afraid of

424
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 6: black power and what that would do for their agenda.

425
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 6: Make no mistake about it, White people gonna white people,

426
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 6: even if they don't want to.

427
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 3: Even the most well to do.

428
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 6: White people sometimes can consider themselves to be a class

429
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 6: above Black people, especially as it relates to political strategy.

430
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 6: They feel like they built this system and they feel

431
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 6: like nobody knows it like them. And as a Black

432
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 6: Southern organizer, as a Black Southern leader, one of the

433
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 6: things that I can tell you is it is a

434
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 6: full time job to humanize black people in this work,

435
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 6: to make sure that we're not just the number on

436
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 6: the door sheet. To make sure that our culture is

437
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 6: steeped in the organizing that happens here, To make sure

438
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 6: that we're able to send a joy in the outreach

439
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 6: that we're doing. To make sure that we're not just

440
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 6: being funded to be a conduit of the party and

441
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 6: go knock on doors when elections come, but that we're

442
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,719
Speaker 6: able to make sure people get fit and that their

443
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 6: needs are men so that when election does come around,

444
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 6: they know us and they trust us. Invest in black

445
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 6: leadership if you want to win. We've seen what happens

446
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 6: when you invest in black leadership. Are you ready to

447
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 6: do it or are you still afraid of what you

448
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 6: might have to lose if you uplift black leaders?

449
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, Tequila, John Nowjoy is like Okay,

450
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: I got three people on my presidential ticket, so tequila.

451
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 1: I Actually I'm kicking myself right now because I didn't

452
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: even think about this. The equity alliance is based is

453
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: killing it. And I think the thing that I love

454
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: about what she said here is the not just the

455
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, but politicians, folks who seek office, folks who

456
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: are frustrated about turnout and voter apathy. If they listen

457
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: to what she said. She talked about meeting people's basic needs.

458
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: And if you listen to that first, you cent her

459
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: what people are.

460
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 3: How are you?

461
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 2: Are you hungry?

462
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: Like your grandmama said, Like, ask people what they need.

463
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: They're going to show up for you, especially us, Like

464
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: we're just loyal. We're wired that waste in our DNA

465
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: to be loyal. So anyway, I don't see how to

466
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: South lose this.

467
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 10: Well they I mean, so the upside that people are

468
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 10: noting is that this is going to flood South Carolina

469
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 10: with money because all the candidates have to come there first.

470
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 10: They're going to stay in the hotels, they're going to

471
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 10: use the local car services, they're going to eat in

472
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 10: the restaurant. So this is going to be great financially

473
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 10: for South Carolina. And because South Carolina's primary electorate is

474
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 10: about fifty percent black, you're talking about having to appeal

475
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 10: to black voters.

476
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 3: And that is a good thing, right.

477
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 10: The upside is they have to make a message, the

478
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 10: Democratic candidates.

479
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 3: That appeals to black voters.

480
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 10: What people are saying the downside is, this is the

481
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 10: Jonathan argument, is that it disempowers South Carolina because it's

482
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 10: no longer the closer. It no longer can break ties

483
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 10: between two white states. And the second way that people

484
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 10: are claiming it produces black power is that now candidates

485
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 10: don't really have to worry about appealing to black voters

486
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 10: down the line. They can just make a message that

487
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 10: appeals to the most moderate Jim Clyburn type black voters

488
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 10: in the top and progressive candidates will just move on

489
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 10: and go to Nevada and take their progressive message elsewhere.

490
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 3: What do y'all think of that?

491
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 5: Oof?

492
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 4: I think it's a strong message. It kind of gets

493
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 4: to some point that I made Election Night twenty twenty four.

494
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 4: You know, I report on black political power. So I

495
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 4: was talking to black voters throughout the entire cycle, and

496
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 4: I kept hearing this thing over and over again that

497
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 4: Democrats don't really care about black voters, and there's this

498
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 4: sense that Democrats want to look at black voters as

499
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 4: a base to mobilize, but not necessarily a base to persuade.

500
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 4: And there is a huge tension around this idea of

501
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 4: are you making a case to me or are you

502
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 4: assuming that I'm already with you and just telling me

503
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 4: to go out and knockdoors and get folks mobilized. And

504
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 4: so I think that it speaks to this, and there's

505
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 4: a real tension there. I'm hopeful that between now and

506
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 4: when you know, we are getting that that in that

507
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 4: in between times, folks like us, quite frankly, are able

508
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 4: to amplify those voices and talk about this persuasively enough

509
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 4: that people will go down there and take that political

510
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 4: power seriously enough to persuade voters. You know, I just

511
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 4: saw Stead Herndon interviewed Representative Clyde Burne recently and there

512
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 4: was a huge discussion around some of the things. You

513
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 4: didn't like it.

514
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 2: I didn't.

515
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 1: I didn't like what he tried to do with him

516
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: around chat GPT. I thought, stay doing some stuff I

517
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: don't like. He need to come on the show because

518
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,479
Speaker 1: I don't know why I feel like every time I

519
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: look around, he being used to like discredit or make

520
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 1: a black elected official look crazy. And I just brother,

521
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: don't do that, friend, Okay, go ahead, I just sorry.

522
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 2: That's what I'll say.

523
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 4: You know, I have I don't like, I don't have

524
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 4: his strong opinions about Steed. I will say that some

525
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 4: of the things that I don't know, I don't.

526
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 5: I'm not here.

527
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 2: Can you and be like, don't do that?

528
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 4: Come on the show. We got questions, but let me

529
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 4: just say this. Let me just say this. I will

530
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 4: say that some of the responses from Representative Clyburn raised

531
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 4: serious questions about whether or not they're they're taking seriously

532
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 4: that people are not happy right now. It's not business

533
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 4: as usual, and there needs to be an effort to persuade.

534
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 4: And that's really my point, that the work of persuasion

535
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 4: is necessary in this time.

536
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 3: Joy I've had ye.

537
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: What though, here's the only thing I'm gonna say. I

538
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: want us to start being a little more practical about

539
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: the percentages in difference on how we see policy. I

540
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: think that Congressman Clyburn is talked about like he's this moderate,

541
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: but he is very Jesse Jackson senior about ensuring that

542
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: poor people have what they need, about ensuring like they

543
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: get broadband access to the South. You got leak Joe

544
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: Biden audio of them saying we got to look out

545
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 1: for black folks in the South. But there are some

546
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: other ways that he seems moderate because of his pathway

547
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: to get those things. So it's the means to the end.

548
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: It's not that there's a different end goal. And I

549
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: also want to stress this part South Carolina. This could

550
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: also be seen as a reward for South Carolina. When

551
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: the rest of the South took on redistricting and our

552
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 1: seats were lost, South Carolina had to pull that ish back.

553
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: It was because of mister Cliburn's influence and the power

554
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: of the protest So progressives and Congressman Clyburn came together

555
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: for a common goal. And so I think that if

556
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: we could do anything, I would like to flip that

557
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: narrative on its head. We should be first because we

558
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: are your foundation. There is no democratic party without black

559
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 1: political thought, ideology, innovation. We should absolutely set the tone.

560
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: You don't get to tell us that now we're not

561
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: gonna matter, because we're not no tie breaker. Were not

562
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 1: just the tipe we can be open and closed.

563
00:26:58,400 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 2: What do you mean?

564
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 3: Well, please, wait, isn't the well?

565
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 10: I think the other piece of it, too, is that

566
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 10: I feel like black progressives have been erased in this

567
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 10: whole conversation because what the progressive white progressives are sort

568
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 10: of saying is well, South Carolina is the home of

569
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 10: establishment black moderates like Cliberg. That's what they say, even though,

570
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 10: like you said, this was a guy who has a

571
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 10: young person, was a city and guy like he was

572
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 10: actually fighting.

573
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 3: It makes him a progressive right in jail, So he's

574
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 3: a progressive, MG.

575
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 10: But I also think that we've erased the existence of

576
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 10: black progressives. Bernie Sanders' twenty sixteen campaign was Jesse Jackson's

577
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 10: nineteen eighty eight campaign. It was the same platform, yeah

578
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 10: and eighty four right, So Jesse Jackson was Bernie before Bernie,

579
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 10: and so progressive ism actually was seated in the black

580
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 10: community pro Palestinians.

581
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 2: South Carolina, by the way, Joy, Oh.

582
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 3: South Carolina, South Carolina. Hello.

583
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 10: And so since we also have so Corey Bush who's

584
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 10: now running as a black progressive in District one in Missouri.

585
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 10: She's a black progressive. If you see what's happening in

586
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 10: the state of Michigan where abdu lsied just got endorsed

587
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 10: by an og black progressive named Bonnie Watson Coleman, who

588
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 10: people forget that's another o g Like she's you know,

589
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 10: bride or die about it old or progressive. So there

590
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 10: are black progressives. I hope that this gives an opportunity

591
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 10: for the South, the southern black progressive to stand up,

592
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 10: because that's what people need to see is that there's

593
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 10: a there's a range of opinions among blacks in South Carolina.

594
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 4: And the thing I'll add to that, Joy, I think

595
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 4: you're spot on. It also takes black people out of

596
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 4: this position we are constantly put in the position of

597
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 4: having to make a do or die, last minute, everything

598
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 4: on the line decision for democracy. It takes us out

599
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 4: of that. And I was talking to I mentioned this

600
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 4: point recently in a video that I did with Charles

601
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 4: Blow where he mentioned, like, I'm tired of black people

602
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 4: being in this in between tiebreaker, you know, kind of

603
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 4: position that were constantly put in. And I think this

604
00:28:55,240 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 4: allows us to one express our truest, deepest black political

605
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 4: power imagination, right like, like black voters in South Carolina

606
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 4: get to set the pace. In so many ways, we

607
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 4: get to say, actually, you know, maybe we wouldn't have

608
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 4: chosen Joe Biden if we weren't in the necessary gotta

609
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 4: do what we gotta do to make sure we get

610
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 4: out of this kind of position. Maybe black voters would

611
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 4: have chose someone else. Maybe you would see a more

612
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 4: progressive vote coming out of South Carolina.

613
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 3: I don't know.

614
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 2: I would have still chosen.

615
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 3: Back Obama.

616
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 4: But but really my point is, in this case, for real,

617
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 4: for real, we have the opportunity or South Carolina voters

618
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 4: have the opportunity to express something that's unconventional. Perhaps and

619
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 4: it's whatever they want. Maybe they go with the moderate

620
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 4: that's fine, but at the very least we get to

621
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 4: express outside of the confines of hey guys, this is

622
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 4: do or die, and if you don't choose the right one,

623
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 4: everything falls apart.

624
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 3: Think they would if the election was ill today, Oh

625
00:29:58,720 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 3: Lord Jesus.

626
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 4: Depends upon who's running. Obviously, if all of the hopefuls

627
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 4: are running, I'm gonna say that Vice President Kamala Hairs

628
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 4: still has an edge.

629
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 2: In South Carolina and.

630
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 10: South Carolina because she didn't and when she was running

631
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 10: against Biden, because remember it was Corey Corey Booker and

632
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 10: her and Kamala Harris and Biden and Biden beat both

633
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 10: those those exactly.

634
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 4: And I also think there's a real injury. I think

635
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 4: people feel like she was something was taken from her

636
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 4: and that she should have been present. And so in

637
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 4: this moment, it's a different political, you know, moment. And

638
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 4: I think Joe Biden obviously had the name ID and

639
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 4: the history, and I think she kind of carries a

640
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 4: little bit of that today. I'm not you know who

641
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,479
Speaker 4: knows right she carried it?

642
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 10: Though? How much would that complicate the field, because now,

643
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 10: you know, people are trying to say it's not it's

644
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 10: a less powerful position. But think about how powerful Iowa

645
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 10: has been for decades, all our whole lives. Now South

646
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 10: Carolina's in that position, and suddenly the white media is saying, oh,

647
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 10: that means it's less powerful since.

648
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 3: What went Literally, we've been the most powerful.

649
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: Barack Obama won the Iowa Caucuses and that made some folks,

650
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: particularly in our community, say, oh, maybe we can't have

651
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: a black president. Remember y'all, we had Negro saying yeah,

652
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: black president. Country not ready for that, right, And it

653
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,959
Speaker 1: was we had the CBC was split between a President

654
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: Obama and Hillary the Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton.

655
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 2: Yes, indeed.

656
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: Well, anyway, we got some other news because y'all know,

657
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: we can have a hale. We need to have a

658
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: town hall on that. Maybe we go to the South

659
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: and y'all let's go and talk to all people.

660
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 2: Let's do that.

661
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 5: I'm trying to be there.

662
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 8: Nobody knows.

663
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: So we also have seen a lot of news swirling

664
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: around Nolan Wells, the tragic death of Nolan Wells. I

665
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: got to see his family, Garrison enjoy at the NAACP.

666
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: But I think we should get into like everything that's

667
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: swirling around online and what we actually know versus what

668
00:31:58,400 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: we don't.

669
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good point. It's a lot of conversation

670
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 4: online right now. The you know, one of the things

671
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 4: that I love to see over the weekend was so

672
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 4: many people just posting the name Nolan Wells, like we're

673
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 4: not letting this fade away. And I think that's so important,

674
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 4: So I'm glad we're talking about it. Audio engineer Janetta

675
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:20,719
Speaker 4: Brantley did some engineering on a phone call that was

676
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 4: made to Cetow by some of Nolan Well's alleged friends.

677
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 4: She did some cleanup on that audio so that you

678
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 4: can kind of make out a little bit of what

679
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 4: was being discussed in the background, and it is sparking

680
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 4: a lot of conversation. There's also been reports coming out

681
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 4: of TMZ and other sources about Nolan Well saying that

682
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 4: he was drinking quote unquote heavily on the island, and

683
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 4: that's been a part of the.

684
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 2: Discussion prosecuting him after his death.

685
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 4: So yeah, let's let's talk about that more.

686
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: Angela, Why I think that one, I do think we

687
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: should listen to this audio, but I think regardless of

688
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: if he was drinking or not, those boys were all

689
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: sitting in a picture with beer, all of them are drinking.

690
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: If you listen to this audio, which I know we're

691
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: going to do shortly, the dude, the young man, sounds

692
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: like he's inebriated, you know.

693
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 2: So it's just like, why are we talking about him.

694
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 2: He died. However, he died.

695
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: It's tragic and it is not his fault because he

696
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: was drinking and like them doing.

697
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 2: The same thing. It just irks me that we always

698
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 2: are having to.

699
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: Talk about what we did wrong that would have earned

700
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: our death, and that is frustrating to me.

701
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 4: As a black guys, should we listen to this audio

702
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 4: really quick?

703
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 3: Let's play that?

704
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 11: Okay? So before I play this, I want to quickly

705
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 11: explain what I did, what you're looking at on the screen,

706
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 11: and why I chose to approach this audio the way

707
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 11: that I did. As a professional audio engineer with experience

708
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 11: and dialogue editing, dialogue clean up, sound design, and post production,

709
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 11: I decided to work on that see to call using

710
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 11: traditional audio processing techniques rather than relying on any AI

711
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 11: voice separation or AI enhancement. My goal was pretty much

712
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 11: to preserve as much of the original recording as possible

713
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 11: while making the quieter dialogue and background audio easier to hear.

714
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 11: And I specifically chose not to rely on AI because

715
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:23,800
Speaker 11: aggressive AI enhancements and voice isolation tools can sometimes introduce

716
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 11: artifacts and distort the speech, or create ambiguity around the

717
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 11: sounds that were originally present, and for something this serious,

718
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 11: I wanted my processing to remain as conservative as possible.

719
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,439
Speaker 11: For this first video, I'm sharing only approximately thirty seven

720
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 11: seconds of the call. I originally intended to continue much further,

721
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 11: but once I separated the dispatcher from the boat and

722
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 11: started concentrating exclusively on the background dialogue, what I believed

723
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 11: I was hearing became extremely difficult for me to process emotionally.

724
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 11: I needed to take a mental break, and so I'm

725
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 11: gonna let the audio play. Read my read my transcription

726
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 11: if you want a reference, but don't allow it to

727
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 11: determine what you hear. I want you to listen first,

728
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 11: listen again, compare with the original recording, and then judge

729
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 11: it with your own ears.

730
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 9: Okay, god, hey, we're the West tip of porn and

731
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 9: h our billage stopped working.

732
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 3: We're going, we're thinking.

733
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 9: Can y'all please can we have I've never should look up.

734
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 4: I believe that's it. So that was the audio.

735
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know how she could hear it.

736
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: Like for me, all I heard them say was, oh

737
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: my god, that's the clearest thing I heard before he

738
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: started yelling shut the f up at people. But the

739
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: rest of that I can't make anything out. I know

740
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: she had a transcript that she put on the side.

741
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 1: I love to hear, but you all think I could

742
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: just be hard at hearing, but I can't.

743
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 2: I can't understand.

744
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 10: I will tell you I wish that she hadn't put

745
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 10: the transcript to it to be honest, because I you know,

746
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 10: we played that same audio. We downloaded it from WLOX,

747
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:25,959
Speaker 10: which was the local Mississippi station that got the audio first,

748
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 10: and so a lot of us downloaded that audio. We

749
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 10: had our audio guy go through it without AI and

750
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 10: just clean it up as an audio X. But we

751
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 10: did the same thing, and we played it for Frank

752
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 10: fin Glusey, who's a former FBI assistant director, and for

753
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 10: Reva Martin and for Dina dol two attorneys, and we

754
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 10: played it for them without a transcript and without telling

755
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 10: them what they were going to hear, because I think

756
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,800
Speaker 10: when you see the words under you hear the words

757
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 10: because your brain tells you that what you're reading is

758
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 10: what you're hearing. And when I first heard this audio

759
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 10: and this cleaned up audio that this sister did, and

760
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 10: God bless her for trying to help with his case,

761
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 10: I was reading the audio and so I now cannot

762
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 10: unhear the.

763
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,399
Speaker 3: Words that she's saying. I hear every single thing.

764
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 10: He's dead, they killed him, barred, shut the f up?

765
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 3: Is he really dead? I hear all of it, but I'm.

766
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 10: Now not sure I trust my own mind because I

767
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 10: feel like the transcript and me knowing what I was

768
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 10: gonna hear influence me. We play this for our staff.

769
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,439
Speaker 10: No one on my staff heard what I heard. I'm

770
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 10: the only one who seems to have heard it. So

771
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 10: I think this is playing with our emotions and our brain.

772
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,439
Speaker 10: At this point, we need and Frank Faglusey did say

773
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 10: this the FBI if we had a real FBI cash,

774
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 10: buttel ass need to get this audio, and they have

775
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 10: much more powerful equipment than that sister who's a Hollywood

776
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 10: editor has. We need to have a real cleanup of

777
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 10: this audio. And I'm gonna say one last thing, and

778
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 10: this is maybe some heterism Black folks.

779
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,280
Speaker 3: Since we home, we home, Can.

780
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 10: We stop acting like Nancy Grace's presence suddenly solves the crime.

781
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:00,240
Speaker 3: That lady is not the.

782
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 1: FBI Chad the way that people say gys crazy ass

783
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:04,399
Speaker 1: on the case.

784
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 2: Now we're going to solve it.

785
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 3: I'm like, I went over, come on, like, let's stop

786
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 3: with that. But anyway, didn't she.

787
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:15,240
Speaker 1: Play didn't she play audio that also has been authenticated

788
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: on her She.

789
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 10: Then yes, She then took that same cleaned up audio,

790
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 10: she further cleaned it up to make it almost crystal

791
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 10: clear that you're hearing those words. But I'm like, who

792
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 10: did that? What is the authentication of that? And are

793
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 10: you gaslighting us with giving us what we want to

794
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 10: believe in hear? Because people don't trust them white boys.

795
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,879
Speaker 10: So I'm like, don't do that, because number one, you're

796
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 10: setting a lot of content creators up to say things

797
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 10: into camera that may not be true.

798
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 3: We do not know what happened to this child.

799
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 10: We all want to know that Mama deserves answers, but

800
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 10: this is not giving her answers or comfort. What this

801
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 10: is doing is sending all of us down a path

802
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 10: that may turn out not to be true. So I

803
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 10: do not trust their story either. There are a millionions

804
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 10: of holes in these stories. I think giving that interview

805
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 10: to uh, the black black copper copper, whatever his name is,

806
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 10: I keep saying his name is Officer Remis, and I don't.

807
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 3: Know why I can't. I want to call him.

808
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 10: My mind tells me because I got menopause, I'll be

809
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 10: calling him.

810
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: Remus or Ruckus or nearest who knows who knows at

811
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: this point?

812
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 2: Or Thomas.

813
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, speaking of Thomas, we do have

814
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 1: a listener question. Who is asking something about your Supreme Court?

815
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 4: I mean, I.

816
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 2: Found my best, you know, funt of.

817
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: Money out here. But we have we have a question

818
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 1: about the Supreme Court. We're going to answer this and

819
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 1: then get in the cause dash because Joey got a guy.

820
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,720
Speaker 1: She got a shout at you too. That's what the question.

821
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:49,720
Speaker 2: Hey again, Native Land family.

822
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 12: My name is Janiary Turner and I am in the

823
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 12: Atlanta area and my question is about the Supreme Court.

824
00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 12: So every time that a goes to the Supreme Court,

825
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 12: I get nervous and very anxious because of a lot

826
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 12: of the judges that are on the Supreme Court. So

827
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,760
Speaker 12: my question is what is it going to take or

828
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 12: what needs to be done to remove some of the

829
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,720
Speaker 12: people on the Supreme Court. And do you all think

830
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 12: that that's even a possibility. I think that there are

831
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 12: a lot of things that are unethical that our Supreme

832
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 12: Court justices are doing, some of them more than others.

833
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 12: And I will just say I like it better when

834
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 12: the city girls get fleut out instead of a sitting

835
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 12: Supreme Court justice. So and I miss you on the shell,

836
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 12: Tiffany by.

837
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 1: Y'all shout out to tiffing them books. She's working hard

838
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: out here too. So I love this question. Just from

839
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: a historical standpoint, just to disappoint this a little bit,

840
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 1: that only just this of the Supreme Court ever being

841
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: peached is Justice Samuel Chase. Associate Justice Samuel Chase in

842
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: eighteen oh five. Doesn give us a lot of hope.

843
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: So it might not be too much removing, especially in

844
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: this environment. But perhaps we can add some That's what

845
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: our good friend Ellie missed Out says often that maybe

846
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: we can just add some seats to the bench. And

847
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: of course I would support that. And then Claire's can

848
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: go at any time, anytime, at anytime, because.

849
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 2: He is busy getting fluid out. He is the certified

850
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:28,720
Speaker 2: Supreme Court.

851
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 3: Huci he for sale? No, he for sale? Say oh,

852
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 3: it's crazy.

853
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 10: He does work for free for a billionaire who is

854
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 10: sort of the equivalent of a plantation owner.

855
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 3: Just say it.

856
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,240
Speaker 10: But anyway, let me say this, I have a devious

857
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,919
Speaker 10: plan to change the Supreme Court that will help assistant. Okay,

858
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 10: can I tell you my plan? This is my fan

859
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 10: not that's my dog walk around background, it's not okay.

860
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 10: I think that if the Senate were to change hands

861
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 10: and they were to pass a rigorous, you know, ethics

862
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 10: requirement for the Supreme Court. This is the AOC bill

863
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 10: that's not made its way through the House, but if

864
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 10: it were to make its way through the Senate, that

865
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 10: would ban any gifts to Supreme Court justices, ban them

866
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 10: taking free trips, ban them from benefiting financially from their position,

867
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 10: ban their spouses from benefiting financially from their spouse's position

868
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 10: on the Supreme Court. My suspicion is Clarence Thomas and

869
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,479
Speaker 10: Alita would resign immediately. I think they would leave because

870
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 10: they want to live rich. Their living foul and they

871
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 10: want to keep doing it. That's one way to push

872
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 10: them out. And then the second piece is the Eli

873
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 10: Mastall piece. Add four more justices and just drown their

874
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 10: votes out. If there were four more justice there are

875
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 10: thirteen districts that they administered. There should be thirteen justices.

876
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 10: It should have been done long ago. They have too

877
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 10: many cases. They're doing too much in the shadow docket,

878
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 10: meaning they don't actually do a public hearing. So I

879
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 10: think add for more justices and a strict ethics rule.

880
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 10: You'll drive two of them out and and then over

881
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 10: and then just overtake them with votes.

882
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 2: Now, how they don't have stricter ethics than the president

883
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 2: of these United States who regularly violates themoument, Wake up,

884
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 2: I don't know that we're gonna be able to do that.

885
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: The other thing here, I don't really want to add

886
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: seats right now because your guy.

887
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's let's hold that thought.

888
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 4: Maybe this is why, Angela, it matters who you vote for.

889
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 4: Got you gotta vote some folks in who are pro democracy.

890
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: Uh.

891
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 4: You gotta have all three branches of the government and

892
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 4: or the House to send it in, and of course

893
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 4: the presidency, and you do all this stuff and then stuff.

894
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, don't do it yet, don't do it because

895
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 10: they need to Trump need to stay alive, and they

896
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 10: two need to stay alive. We want Alito and Thomas

897
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 10: to stay all the way through Trump's term. We need

898
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 10: a Democrat in the White House when all this happens.

899
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:58,240
Speaker 3: Amen, that is true.

900
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, on that note, you always calls to action.

901
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 5: Who cares about truth when the.

902
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:09,720
Speaker 13: Last morning seated.

903
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 2: This is how we in our show.

904
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: We like for our listeners, our viewers to go from

905
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 1: here and feel called and compelled to do something. So

906
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: Joy Reid, I will start with you, since you have

907
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 1: a show to do.

908
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:27,800
Speaker 10: Yes, So my call to action is particularly for voters

909
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 10: in my former state of Florida. Florida, you still have

910
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 10: time if you have not registered to vote and you

911
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 10: have not taken interest in your primaries. There's some diabolical

912
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 10: bullshit going on in the great state of Florida. We

913
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 10: must take action in these primaries. In Florida twenty there

914
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 10: are eighteen hundred people running, including Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who

915
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 10: as a carpetbagger. You must stop her. It's important that

916
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 10: we keep that seat in the hands of an African

917
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 10: American because that is where that seat was drawn. And

918
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 10: then in Florida twenty four you've got some shenanigans. There

919
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 10: are too many people running. We have to discipline ourselves

920
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 10: to take our power in the primaries. So please take

921
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 10: your power in the primaries in Florida. Also in Missouri's

922
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 10: first district, please get Corey Bush over the line. It

923
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 10: sends a message to these big interests if you defeat

924
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 10: their candidates. So I am rooting hard for Corey and

925
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 10: I'm rooting for anybody black in Florida District twenty. That's

926
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 10: what I call to action. Please get in these primaries

927
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 10: and vote.

928
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 2: I love it. Garrison.

929
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 4: Okay, we are in Tennessee. Tennessee is Tequila Johnson we

930
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 4: played earlier and her colleague Charlene Oliver, who both started

931
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,760
Speaker 4: the Tennessee Equity Alliance, say this all the time. Tennessee

932
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 4: is not a red state. It is a jerry mandard state.

933
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 4: It is a low voter turnout state. We have early

934
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:48,439
Speaker 4: voting happening right now across the state. I'm looking specifically

935
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 4: at Tennessee's ninth congressional district, where our friend Justin Pearson

936
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 4: is running, and I am encouraging everyone my call to action.

937
00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 4: If you live in the great state of Tennessee, are

938
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 4: you registered vote? Have you asked the people in your

939
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 4: life to vote? If you're in District nine, vote in

940
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 4: the primary, send a message that you're paying attention, that

941
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:12,439
Speaker 4: you're locked in. So you know, we are less than

942
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 4: one hundred days out from the midterms, and so all

943
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 4: of my calls to action will be around voting and

944
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:20,320
Speaker 4: getting ready to vote.

945
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 2: The SNOW member, I love it.

946
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: My call to action is first, I just want to

947
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: give a shout out to my friend Charlie Stanberry, who

948
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 1: won president of the National Bar Association. We worked on

949
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill together CBC Family for Life. Turns out we

950
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: are a little relevant around here. So I just want

951
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: to shout out, she won and she understands the assignment,

952
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: and so my call to action for you all is

953
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: to understand the assignment. There are little things that we

954
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 1: can do to make our organizations more relevant, stronger, developing

955
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 1: a foundation where they can actually build capacity and infrastructure.

956
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: It costs thirty dollars to join the NAACP. Thirty dollars,

957
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 1: not thirty dollars a month, not thirty dollars a day,

958
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: thirty dollars for the year. I would encourage you all

959
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 1: to really think about if thirty dollars is gonna cause

960
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: you harm when you know you're paying that every month

961
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 1: to Netflix a paramount or Stars or whatever else to

962
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: be is free. But me and joy Watch two be

963
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: every now and then. Don't judge us, but there are

964
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: a number of subscriptions that you have in your life

965
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: that costs more than that. This is an annual fee

966
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: of thirty dollars for my lawyers, my black lawyers at

00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,839

980
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:53,680

Speaker 2: So it's working over time.

987
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,400

990
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: in protection mode so we can get that thriving mode.

991
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: And we can't do that outside of our institutions, especially

992
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: for we're withholding our gifts only to share our criticism.
