Speaker 2: You can wait?
Speaker 3: You can do it today?
Speaker 6: You know what?
Speaker 4: Out I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2: We do bleep on the show.
Speaker 1: We have to, so, y'all, I'm gonna get into this
Speaker 1: rundown really quick. So with there's a protester who took
Speaker 1: over a press conference recently that was being held by
Speaker 1: the Madison, Wisconsin police chief following the shooting death of
Speaker 1: thirty eight year old Corey Ruiz. Republican Representative Nancy Mace,
Speaker 1: who I cannot wait for her to return to the
Speaker 1: private sector because she is still reaking havoc in hell
Speaker 1: on our community. She's introduced a resolution to race based caucuses,
Speaker 1: taking aim at the Congressional Black Caucus. The Senate confirmed
Speaker 1: Jay Clayton as the D and I chief, replacing Tolcy Gabbert.
Speaker 1: Of course, but does he believe that Joe Biden won
Speaker 1: the election in twenty twenty Why are we still talking
Speaker 1: about this twenty twenty six? Recently, Democrats make the historic
Speaker 1: decision to make South Carolina their first in the nation
Speaker 1: primary for twenty twenty eight?
Speaker 2: Is this good for the blacks?
Speaker 1: Joy read We gonna find out. Facts in fiction continue
Speaker 1: to swirl as tensions increasing. The Nolan Wells case a
Speaker 1: phone call his alleged friends made to Sito on the
Speaker 1: day of his disappearances, raising a lot of questions, and
Speaker 1: we have isolated audio for that. We're going to talk
Speaker 1: about all of that and so much more on this
Speaker 1: episode of Native lampod Welcome home, y'all. All right, so
Speaker 1: now it's time for your situational awareness. First up, we
Speaker 1: are going to talk about this tragic shooting in Madison, Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: Thirty eight year old Corey Ruiz was the subject of
Speaker 1: a police shooting. Of course, there's now an independent investigation going,
Speaker 1: but a police chief, the police chief, John Patterson, addressed
Speaker 1: a press conference, and there was a protester that was like,
Speaker 1: not on my watch, I'm reclaiming my time in this narrative.
Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and roll that clip.
Speaker 7: The Finnis of trust in the city right now did
Speaker 7: not start.
Speaker 8: Well, we can to shut this down. You can stop
Speaker 8: talking because we don't want to hear anything you've been saying.
Speaker 8: You're going to say the same thing you all say
Speaker 8: every time a black body gets shot down in this city.
Speaker 8: This is a corrupt city.
Speaker 9: That's right.
Speaker 5: Have no fear the anti Zionist here.
Speaker 8: Do you understand me? Won't be able to talk today
Speaker 8: because I'm gonna keep talking because I was born to
Speaker 8: talk my talk and walk my walk to I told
Speaker 8: these young people back here on our way here that
Speaker 8: we have the power, not that badge, not that weapon.
Speaker 8: We have the power. The city of Madison is corrupt,
Speaker 8: from the DA to the to the what's the name
Speaker 8: of us, the Department of Independent Monitorings.
Speaker 5: We don't want any any of that talk.
Speaker 8: You've ain't given us this speech with you'll deliver justice.
Speaker 8: Oh we've seen the cameras. We've seen it was a
Speaker 8: knife in this young man's hand. We don't want to
Speaker 8: hear that today. We didn't want to hear it when
Speaker 8: they put their neck on George Floyd's neck. We don't
Speaker 8: their foot on George Floyd's neck, and we don't want
Speaker 8: to hear it today. That's the What do you have
Speaker 8: to say about that? Oh, you don't get to talk.
Speaker 10: I said.
Speaker 8: That, give me this microphone, didn't excuse me.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 8: All to all people, zero power to zionists, zero power
Speaker 8: to capitalists, zero power to colonialism.
Speaker 2: Shout out to Carlos.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's my press conference now, yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's that's that's strong man. That's
Speaker 4: strong to.
Speaker 1: Be a member of a tap I it is all
Speaker 1: no all power to all people.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, power to all people?
Speaker 10: Okay, can we get him on the ballot for twenty
Speaker 10: twenty eight?
Speaker 3: I think I found by President.
Speaker 10: I finally found my candidate. I'm excited get him to
Speaker 10: South Carolina.
Speaker 1: They have been protesting like consistently about this shooting death,
Speaker 1: and as a result of that, there's an independent investigation.
Speaker 1: They're now investigating it as a homicide. I think what's
Speaker 1: unfortunate here is so often we have to do so
Speaker 1: much just to be treated as human. And I think
Speaker 1: you saw some of that pain and frustration in his
Speaker 1: remarks because powerful we laughed a little bit, but we
Speaker 1: also understand that, well, we don't know how we would respond. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're there with them in Madison.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. I mean, it's matter. But you know the
Speaker 4: thing that always stands out to me when you google
Speaker 4: Corey Ruiz and you're trying to find information about this,
Speaker 4: one of the first things that comes up is an
Speaker 4: article about this person's past history with the police, and
Speaker 4: these efforts to discredit and besmirch and change the narrative
Speaker 4: without answering the central question about whether or not this
Speaker 4: was justified. And obviously the community and those of us
Speaker 4: who've seen the video say no, this was not justified
Speaker 4: at all. This was wrong, and so that outrage is
Speaker 4: incredibly justified, right, that outrage is necessary, and hopefully it
Speaker 4: awakens outrage and other people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, speaking of outrage and outrages, let's go ahead
Speaker 1: and tap Nancy Mason because she cannot help herself. She
Speaker 1: is still on BS because she doesn't know what else
Speaker 1: to do, and as she finds her exit ramp from Congress,
Speaker 1: she has introduced House Resolution fourteen fifty four because she
Speaker 1: does not believe there should be any race based caucuses. Y'all,
Speaker 1: I don't understand what their infatuation is with this. I
Speaker 1: can think of a gazillion caucuses I would like to
Speaker 1: see go Freedom Caucus, TEA Party Caucus, KKK Caucus, like
Speaker 1: they can go, But why are they targeting these Like
Speaker 1: the fact that she's like, let me find an on
Speaker 1: ramp with the Committee on House Administration to revoke and
Speaker 1: prevent the registration of cmos that's a congressional member organization.
Speaker 2: Y'all know.
Speaker 1: I take this personally because I am a former Congressional
Speaker 1: Black Caucus ED super irritated by this, because what this
Speaker 1: does is it would essentially defund like staffing capabilities.
Speaker 2: Members would no longer pay dues to these organizations.
Speaker 1: And while some people at home can say, well, they
Speaker 1: can still meet and figure out an agenda. Well, what
Speaker 1: staff is going to be in place to move forward
Speaker 1: with an agenda? Somebody else might say, why are you
Speaker 1: giving this any time? Well, I would not take it
Speaker 1: seriously if they didn't defund DEI and if they didn't
Speaker 1: ban our textbooks and other books.
Speaker 2: So, y'all, I gotta take this real serious, which y'all.
Speaker 10: Think, yeah, And I think that I have to blame
Speaker 10: the Supreme Court for this, because, you know, by destroying
Speaker 10: affirmative action, ending affirmative action and the attacks on DEI
Speaker 10: sort of opening up this idea that there can't be
Speaker 10: any race based solutions unless they are focused on enhancing
Speaker 10: the power and prestige and opportunities for white people. Essentially,
Speaker 10: what we're seeing in the United States is that white
Speaker 10: Christian conservatives are being created as the only protected class
Speaker 10: and every other protected class is being wiped out. This
Speaker 10: may not seem like it matters to the average person,
Speaker 10: but if you can't have a black caucus, a congressional
Speaker 10: black caucus, you soon won't be able to have a
Speaker 10: black interest organization at your high school or college. You
Speaker 10: won't be able to have a black interest organization or club.
Speaker 10: That's funded and that operates at your university. This is
Speaker 10: where this is going, this war on us and of
Speaker 10: course on all people of color, because she wants the
Speaker 10: Asian Caucus, Thispanic Caucus, all of it to go away.
Speaker 10: Is all about saying we can't organize amongst ourselves. Only
Speaker 10: white Americans can be protected by the federal government.
Speaker 2: And I think this is the other prior so y'all.
Speaker 1: At the end of her statement where she announces this
Speaker 1: resolution because it's so important to her, she says, we
Speaker 1: represent all of our constituents, not just the ones who
Speaker 1: look like us. If you do not agree, you should
Speaker 1: not be serving in Congress. It is time to end
Speaker 1: federally sanctioned discrimination in this institution. And for me, I'm
Speaker 1: just like you know, this actually isn't discrimination. To gather
Speaker 1: with like minded people who have similar districts and similar values.
Speaker 1: We have always called the CBC the conscience of the Congress,
Speaker 1: and it's interesting to me that she doesn't understand how
Speaker 1: the conscience of the Congress moves the needle on policy
Speaker 1: for poor white people, for poor indigenous folks, like there's
Speaker 1: a reason why there's a tricoccus, and they find things
Speaker 1: some policy issues to work on together. But I also
Speaker 1: will say family that this is why I also think
Speaker 1: it's very mission critical that we're not always like, well,
Speaker 1: this is irrelevant and why are we doing this and
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Garrison and I are in Nashville right now,
Speaker 1: his lovely bride win in the world out from the
Speaker 1: National Virus Nociation Young Lawyer's Division just a few days ago,
Speaker 1: and last year joy I decided I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm going to come back home. It's the one hundredth
Speaker 1: anniversary of the National Bar. Instead of me criticizing on
Speaker 1: the sidelines, I'm going to get back engage. These are
Speaker 1: the things we have to do to add value to
Speaker 1: our orgs and bring our own gifts to the table.
Speaker 1: If we just are on the sidelines like oh it's irrelevant,
Speaker 1: well make us relevant, but don't try to give them
Speaker 1: ammunition the Edward Blooms of the world, the Steven Miller's
Speaker 1: of the world, the Nancy Maces ammunition to take us out.
Speaker 1: That's what I think has been done essentially here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to I agree.
Speaker 4: I think you have to look at the fact that
Speaker 4: this you mentioned, the National Bar Association just celebrated this
Speaker 4: year is one hundred and one years right, one hundred
Speaker 4: years ago, we were thinking about building institutions. We were
Speaker 4: thinking about building the infrastructure we needed so that twenty
Speaker 4: five thirty years later we could get things like the
Speaker 4: Voting Rights Act and we could advance civil rights in
Speaker 4: this country. And that is really the point in this moment,
Speaker 4: when we kind of tear down these organizations, in these institutions,
Speaker 4: we are being incredibly shortsighted around what it takes to
Speaker 4: actually build political power. We have to take that very
Speaker 4: seriously for ourselves. And I'm telling you, if you look
Speaker 4: at what Nancy Mays is doing, I can tell you
Speaker 4: so clearly. It's so clear she takes black political power seriously.
Speaker 4: The question is do we take black political power seriously?
Speaker 10: Come on, come on, preach out, amen, And to build
Speaker 10: on what Garrison has said, I think people forget that,
Speaker 10: you know, up until the twentieth century, the early twentieth century,
Speaker 10: when we had institutions and organizations like the NAACP and
Speaker 10: other interest organizations form the only place that black folks
Speaker 10: could organize within the church. There's a reason that so
Speaker 10: many and most of our civil rights leaders were pastors,
Speaker 10: because it used to be. We had to only organized
Speaker 10: in church. It was the only place we could be unsurveiled.
Speaker 10: So these institutions may not feel like they mean something
Speaker 10: to you in your day to day life, but building
Speaker 10: them is the way that we were able to expand
Speaker 10: our access to power. And that is what people like
Speaker 10: Nancy Mays fear. They don't want us to be able
Speaker 10: to organize in the open. They want to drive us
Speaker 10: back underground where they think that, you know, we won't
Speaker 10: be able to actually move policy.
Speaker 2: That's exactly right.
Speaker 1: Enjoy speaking of modern day, Jay Edgar Hoover, please talk
Speaker 1: to us about Jay Clayton.
Speaker 10: So, Jay Clayton is a former at least at this point,
Speaker 10: they have somebody who's semi qualified.
Speaker 3: He's a former prosecutor.
Speaker 10: He is taking over as D and I from Bill Poulty,
Speaker 10: who is a real estate developer.
Speaker 3: If you've ever heard of POLTYE. Holmes, that's him. He's
Speaker 3: the heir to that fortune.
Speaker 10: And Donald Trump had to walk away from him as
Speaker 10: the new D and I because he's so unqualified. Even
Speaker 10: Republicans were like, it's to know. But the problem with
Speaker 10: the new guy, Jay Clayton, is that when asked a
Speaker 10: very direct question who won the twenty twenty election.
Speaker 3: He did the thing. He couldn't answer the question.
Speaker 10: John ASoft did a brilliant job of cornering him on this.
Speaker 10: But what it shows is that even if you have
Speaker 10: the minimal qualifications for a change to take this job,
Speaker 10: one of the new white men jobs that they are
Speaker 10: making available in the Trump regime, you still have to
Speaker 10: give Donald Trump his ego, his ego boost. You have
Speaker 10: to not admit that he lost the election in twenty twenty.
Speaker 10: And to me, as John Osof said in a job interview,
Speaker 10: if you can't answer that simple question, you really are
Speaker 10: not qualified.
Speaker 2: That's that. So we have the clip of John Ossoff.
Speaker 5: Who won the twenty twenty election.
Speaker 7: You know, I'm not going to do this with you.
Speaker 5: This is a job interview. We've established that you have
Speaker 5: an obligation to pretty honest and forthright with the committee. Yes,
Speaker 5: you do have an obligation to be honest and forthright
Speaker 5: with the committee. Yes, who won the twenty twenty election.
Speaker 7: Like I said, I'm not going to get into that with.
Speaker 5: You, but you do have an obligation to be honest
Speaker 5: and forthright with the committee.
Speaker 7: Is anything that I just said not honest or forthright.
Speaker 5: Yes, you're not being honest or forthright. Who won the
Speaker 5: twenty question? We can keep doing this, well, we're going
Speaker 5: to keep doing it because you're not being honest and
Speaker 5: forth right.
Speaker 7: I'm not going to engage in the theater.
Speaker 5: It's a simple question, mister Clayton's, and I've answered who
Speaker 5: won the twenty twenty presidential election?
Speaker 7: I've answered it.
Speaker 5: You're here asking for the support of senators to lead
Speaker 5: America's intelligence community. We've established that you have an obligation
Speaker 5: to be honest and forthright with this committee and with
Speaker 5: the American public. But you refuse to answer a simple
Speaker 5: matter of fact about the twenty twenty election. Is that right?
Speaker 7: No, that's not right.
Speaker 5: Then answer the question, who won the twenty twenty election?
Speaker 5: Answer it? What is your answer?
Speaker 7: I've given you my answer.
Speaker 5: What is your answer? You refuse to answer a basic
Speaker 5: question about who won a presidential election, but you asked
Speaker 5: to lead America's intelligence community. Isn't it humiliating to be
Speaker 5: unable to answer this question? To indulge the president's delusions?
Speaker 5: We know you know everybody in this room knows the
Speaker 5: truthful answer to that question. Why can you not give it.
Speaker 7: I think I gave you the answer.
Speaker 5: Are you aware that Director Gabbard was present at the
Speaker 5: Fulton County Raid in Georgia earlier this year?
Speaker 7: You discussed that with me yesterday in your office.
Speaker 5: Are you aware that Director Gabbard was present at the
Speaker 5: Fulton County Raid earlier this year?
Speaker 7: You brought it to me?
Speaker 5: What is going on here? You've said at the beginning
Speaker 5: of this you have an obligation to be honest, and
Speaker 5: the fourth year so with the committee, I'm asking a
Speaker 5: very simple question. Are you aware of a Director Gabbard
Speaker 5: was present at the Fulton County Raid earlier this year? Yes?
Speaker 5: Or no? Are you aware I was? You won't answer
Speaker 5: that question.
Speaker 7: I just said I was made aware of it by
Speaker 7: you yesterday.
Speaker 5: The first time you learned but Director Gabbard was president
Speaker 5: at that raid was in my office yesterday.
Speaker 7: It was the first time that in my recollection. I've
Speaker 7: thought about it recently. Now, what was I aware of
Speaker 7: it before? What you brought to my attention yesterday?
Speaker 5: I had not, So you had not known I had not.
Speaker 7: I had not thought about it until you brought it
Speaker 7: to my attention.
Speaker 5: Yet your answer is lack credibility. Your testimony lacks credibility.
Speaker 5: You're being evasive and you're not being candid or forthright.
Speaker 5: And everybody across the country is going to watch this
Speaker 5: and know that my wow, wow, the contortions that there.
Speaker 2: You ask you guys, But we got a new dance
Speaker 2: from that though. He's it what what we got it first?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 10: His was not that on beat off off ad app
Speaker 10: guy in either order twenty eight I keep on.
Speaker 3: Enjoy right.
Speaker 1: On all people app tap? What's the app tap tickets?
Speaker 10: So wild is that this is the performance each and
Speaker 10: every one of the nominees has had to do. You
Speaker 10: cannot admit that Donald Trump lost in twenty twenty and
Speaker 10: get a job in this administration.
Speaker 3: You can't.
Speaker 10: Donald Trump requires it for his ego because he's got
Speaker 10: dementia and he can't stand or handle the fact that
Speaker 10: he lost. They all have to do this performance. It's
Speaker 10: embarrassing and humiliating as alsof right, but they have to
Speaker 10: do it, and he got confirmed.
Speaker 1: Well, let me tell y'all something that we're proud of
Speaker 1: in this moment. HBCUs continue to rise in the face
Speaker 1: of all types of Nancy Mayce, types of ignorance, and
Speaker 1: Jay Clayton's uh. Coppin State University is doing something that's
Speaker 1: turning some narratives on its head.
Speaker 2: Talk to us about it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So Coppin State University's president, President Anthony Jenkins, shout out,
Speaker 4: has implemented a program offering in state tuition to students
Speaker 4: from states with no HBCU. So if you are from
Speaker 4: a state with no HBCU, you get to go to
Speaker 4: Coppin State, which is in Baltimore, Maryland. Am I right, Baltimore,
Speaker 4: shout out to Baltimore. You get to go there with instituition.
Speaker 4: I think, joy, you are in state? What do you
Speaker 4: what do you make of this?
Speaker 10: I think that is a wonderful thing because as we're
Speaker 10: seeing you know, DEI destroyed and black students sort of
Speaker 10: pushed away and shunned from a lot of predominantly white institutions,
Speaker 10: options are needed and good education is so important in
Speaker 10: order to get you know where you want to go
Speaker 10: in life. So proud of copp and State for stepping up,
Speaker 10: and I hope more universities will do it as well,
Speaker 10: because it's the affordability that's the problem. People don't go
Speaker 10: to People don't, you know, skip college generally because they
Speaker 10: don't care.
Speaker 3: It's because they can't afford it.
Speaker 10: You know, we just saw what happened to Howard University
Speaker 10: where lots of students couldn't afford to get pay their tuition.
Speaker 3: So big up to Coppon State. I love it.
Speaker 4: I think it's huge. And I'll say this, this kind
Speaker 4: of connects back to this CBC point right our institutions there.
Speaker 4: We are living in a time of like, you never
Speaker 4: know what you've got until it's gone, and we're seeing
Speaker 4: things being stripped away and leaving and then we're realizing, oh,
Speaker 4: there's value. I kind of came up in a time
Speaker 4: where folks were always questioning the importance of an HBO
Speaker 4: Oh do we even need it?
Speaker 3: You hear these.
Speaker 4: Conversations all the time, And now we're seeing nobody else
Speaker 4: is stepping up to make sure the black students have
Speaker 4: opportunities in this increasingly unaffordable America. But at HBCU is
Speaker 4: and that's why our institutions are important. So this is
Speaker 4: this is huge. Congratulations to copp and State and to
Speaker 4: all the students in Washington and Colorado and Wyoming who
Speaker 4: can now go and have.
Speaker 1: Instincts that is true. I will tell you all this
Speaker 1: too in California.
Speaker 2: In California, nobody on.
Speaker 1: And I will say, you know the other thing that
Speaker 1: is phenomenal about this to me, I always talk about
Speaker 1: mutual aid networks and there have been these different types
Speaker 1: of experiences and gifts and industries where you see we
Speaker 1: come together in our greatest time of need. So when
Speaker 1: people are about to be hurt the most economically, and
Speaker 1: HBCU is saying, we're going to still fill the gap.
Speaker 1: We don't have everything we need. We know that we're
Speaker 1: getting short change by our state and certainly by the Feds,
Speaker 1: but we're still going to fill the gap. And it's
Speaker 1: at a time where everything the cost is rising everywhere,
Speaker 1: tuition prices are rising period, and they're like, no, we're
Speaker 1: going to actually do the reverse. And I think that
Speaker 1: that says so much about real leadership and integrity in
Speaker 1: this moment.
Speaker 2: So shout out today, shaking of integrity.
Speaker 1: It's might not be some financial reparations, but it still
Speaker 1: feels like Democrats are like, Okay, well maybe the South
Speaker 1: got something to say.
Speaker 2: Joy read what they're doing.
Speaker 10: So the South is going to be speaking quite loudly
Speaker 10: in the twenty twenty eight primaries. South Carolina, which was
Speaker 10: the the sort of I guess, the defining state, the
Speaker 10: third state that would basically break the tie between Iowa
Speaker 10: and New Hampshire. The two super white states that were
Speaker 10: always first, will now be first in the nation. They
Speaker 10: will be first to hold their primary. Some people saying
Speaker 10: that that's not great for black power, but not everybody
Speaker 10: agrees with that. Some people are quite happy about it.
Speaker 10: A queue Tequila Johnson.
Speaker 3: Please.
Speaker 6: Everybody keep asking, oh why Democrats don't invest in a
Speaker 6: Southern strategy, especially considering that fifty six percent of all
Speaker 6: black people live in the South, and that black people
Speaker 6: are the Democratic Party's most loyal voting block. And what
Speaker 6: I tell people is Democrats are afraid of investing in
Speaker 6: the South. Democrats are afraid of investing in and funding
Speaker 6: true black leadership, funding our media outlets, funding our black strategists,
Speaker 6: funding our black organizations, funding our black operatives, funding our
Speaker 6: candidates at the rights that they need to be funded at.
Speaker 6: Democrats aren't afraid of the South. They are afraid of
Speaker 6: black power and what that would do for their agenda.
Speaker 6: Make no mistake about it, White people gonna white people,
Speaker 6: even if they don't want to.
Speaker 3: Even the most well to do.
Speaker 6: White people sometimes can consider themselves to be a class
Speaker 6: above Black people, especially as it relates to political strategy.
Speaker 6: They feel like they built this system and they feel
Speaker 6: like nobody knows it like them. And as a Black
Speaker 6: Southern organizer, as a Black Southern leader, one of the
Speaker 6: things that I can tell you is it is a
Speaker 6: full time job to humanize black people in this work,
Speaker 6: to make sure that we're not just the number on
Speaker 6: the door sheet. To make sure that our culture is
Speaker 6: steeped in the organizing that happens here, To make sure
Speaker 6: that we're able to send a joy in the outreach
Speaker 6: that we're doing. To make sure that we're not just
Speaker 6: being funded to be a conduit of the party and
Speaker 6: go knock on doors when elections come, but that we're
Speaker 6: able to make sure people get fit and that their
Speaker 6: needs are men so that when election does come around,
Speaker 6: they know us and they trust us. Invest in black
Speaker 6: leadership if you want to win. We've seen what happens
Speaker 6: when you invest in black leadership. Are you ready to
Speaker 6: do it or are you still afraid of what you
Speaker 6: might have to lose if you uplift black leaders?
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, Tequila, John Nowjoy is like Okay,
Speaker 1: I got three people on my presidential ticket, so tequila.
Speaker 1: I Actually I'm kicking myself right now because I didn't
Speaker 1: even think about this. The equity alliance is based is
Speaker 1: killing it. And I think the thing that I love
Speaker 1: about what she said here is the not just the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, but politicians, folks who seek office, folks who
Speaker 1: are frustrated about turnout and voter apathy. If they listen
Speaker 1: to what she said. She talked about meeting people's basic needs.
Speaker 1: And if you listen to that first, you cent her
Speaker 1: what people are.
Speaker 3: How are you?
Speaker 2: Are you hungry?
Speaker 1: Like your grandmama said, Like, ask people what they need.
Speaker 1: They're going to show up for you, especially us, Like
Speaker 1: we're just loyal. We're wired that waste in our DNA
Speaker 1: to be loyal. So anyway, I don't see how to
Speaker 1: South lose this.
Speaker 10: Well they I mean, so the upside that people are
Speaker 10: noting is that this is going to flood South Carolina
Speaker 10: with money because all the candidates have to come there first.
Speaker 10: They're going to stay in the hotels, they're going to
Speaker 10: use the local car services, they're going to eat in
Speaker 10: the restaurant. So this is going to be great financially
Speaker 10: for South Carolina. And because South Carolina's primary electorate is
Speaker 10: about fifty percent black, you're talking about having to appeal
Speaker 10: to black voters.
Speaker 3: And that is a good thing, right.
Speaker 10: The upside is they have to make a message, the
Speaker 10: Democratic candidates.
Speaker 3: That appeals to black voters.
Speaker 10: What people are saying the downside is, this is the
Speaker 10: Jonathan argument, is that it disempowers South Carolina because it's
Speaker 10: no longer the closer. It no longer can break ties
Speaker 10: between two white states. And the second way that people
Speaker 10: are claiming it produces black power is that now candidates
Speaker 10: don't really have to worry about appealing to black voters
Speaker 10: down the line. They can just make a message that
Speaker 10: appeals to the most moderate Jim Clyburn type black voters
Speaker 10: in the top and progressive candidates will just move on
Speaker 10: and go to Nevada and take their progressive message elsewhere.
Speaker 3: What do y'all think of that?
Speaker 5: Oof?
Speaker 4: I think it's a strong message. It kind of gets
Speaker 4: to some point that I made Election Night twenty twenty four.
Speaker 4: You know, I report on black political power. So I
Speaker 4: was talking to black voters throughout the entire cycle, and
Speaker 4: I kept hearing this thing over and over again that
Speaker 4: Democrats don't really care about black voters, and there's this
Speaker 4: sense that Democrats want to look at black voters as
Speaker 4: a base to mobilize, but not necessarily a base to persuade.
Speaker 4: And there is a huge tension around this idea of
Speaker 4: are you making a case to me or are you
Speaker 4: assuming that I'm already with you and just telling me
Speaker 4: to go out and knockdoors and get folks mobilized. And
Speaker 4: so I think that it speaks to this, and there's
Speaker 4: a real tension there. I'm hopeful that between now and
Speaker 4: when you know, we are getting that that in that
Speaker 4: in between times, folks like us, quite frankly, are able
Speaker 4: to amplify those voices and talk about this persuasively enough
Speaker 4: that people will go down there and take that political
Speaker 4: power seriously enough to persuade voters. You know, I just
Speaker 4: saw Stead Herndon interviewed Representative Clyde Burne recently and there
Speaker 4: was a huge discussion around some of the things. You
Speaker 4: didn't like it.
Speaker 2: I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't like what he tried to do with him
Speaker 1: around chat GPT. I thought, stay doing some stuff I
Speaker 1: don't like. He need to come on the show because
Speaker 1: I don't know why I feel like every time I
Speaker 1: look around, he being used to like discredit or make
Speaker 1: a black elected official look crazy. And I just brother,
Speaker 1: don't do that, friend, Okay, go ahead, I just sorry.
Speaker 2: That's what I'll say.
Speaker 4: You know, I have I don't like, I don't have
Speaker 4: his strong opinions about Steed. I will say that some
Speaker 4: of the things that I don't know, I don't.
Speaker 5: I'm not here.
Speaker 2: Can you and be like, don't do that?
Speaker 4: Come on the show. We got questions, but let me
Speaker 4: just say this. Let me just say this. I will
Speaker 4: say that some of the responses from Representative Clyburn raised
Speaker 4: serious questions about whether or not they're they're taking seriously
Speaker 4: that people are not happy right now. It's not business
Speaker 4: as usual, and there needs to be an effort to persuade.
Speaker 4: And that's really my point, that the work of persuasion
Speaker 4: is necessary in this time.
Speaker 3: Joy I've had ye.
Speaker 1: What though, here's the only thing I'm gonna say. I
Speaker 1: want us to start being a little more practical about
Speaker 1: the percentages in difference on how we see policy. I
Speaker 1: think that Congressman Clyburn is talked about like he's this moderate,
Speaker 1: but he is very Jesse Jackson senior about ensuring that
Speaker 1: poor people have what they need, about ensuring like they
Speaker 1: get broadband access to the South. You got leak Joe
Speaker 1: Biden audio of them saying we got to look out
Speaker 1: for black folks in the South. But there are some
Speaker 1: other ways that he seems moderate because of his pathway
Speaker 1: to get those things. So it's the means to the end.
Speaker 1: It's not that there's a different end goal. And I
Speaker 1: also want to stress this part South Carolina. This could
Speaker 1: also be seen as a reward for South Carolina. When
Speaker 1: the rest of the South took on redistricting and our
Speaker 1: seats were lost, South Carolina had to pull that ish back.
Speaker 1: It was because of mister Cliburn's influence and the power
Speaker 1: of the protest So progressives and Congressman Clyburn came together
Speaker 1: for a common goal. And so I think that if
Speaker 1: we could do anything, I would like to flip that
Speaker 1: narrative on its head. We should be first because we
Speaker 1: are your foundation. There is no democratic party without black
Speaker 1: political thought, ideology, innovation. We should absolutely set the tone.
Speaker 1: You don't get to tell us that now we're not
Speaker 1: gonna matter, because we're not no tie breaker. Were not
Speaker 1: just the tipe we can be open and closed.
Speaker 2: What do you mean?
Speaker 3: Well, please, wait, isn't the well?
Speaker 10: I think the other piece of it, too, is that
Speaker 10: I feel like black progressives have been erased in this
Speaker 10: whole conversation because what the progressive white progressives are sort
Speaker 10: of saying is well, South Carolina is the home of
Speaker 10: establishment black moderates like Cliberg. That's what they say, even though,
Speaker 10: like you said, this was a guy who has a
Speaker 10: young person, was a city and guy like he was
Speaker 10: actually fighting.
Speaker 3: It makes him a progressive right in jail, So he's
Speaker 3: a progressive, MG.
Speaker 10: But I also think that we've erased the existence of
Speaker 10: black progressives. Bernie Sanders' twenty sixteen campaign was Jesse Jackson's
Speaker 10: nineteen eighty eight campaign. It was the same platform, yeah
Speaker 10: and eighty four right, So Jesse Jackson was Bernie before Bernie,
Speaker 10: and so progressive ism actually was seated in the black
Speaker 10: community pro Palestinians.
Speaker 2: South Carolina, by the way, Joy, Oh.
Speaker 3: South Carolina, South Carolina. Hello.
Speaker 10: And so since we also have so Corey Bush who's
Speaker 10: now running as a black progressive in District one in Missouri.
Speaker 10: She's a black progressive. If you see what's happening in
Speaker 10: the state of Michigan where abdu lsied just got endorsed
Speaker 10: by an og black progressive named Bonnie Watson Coleman, who
Speaker 10: people forget that's another o g Like she's you know,
Speaker 10: bride or die about it old or progressive. So there
Speaker 10: are black progressives. I hope that this gives an opportunity
Speaker 10: for the South, the southern black progressive to stand up,
Speaker 10: because that's what people need to see is that there's
Speaker 10: a there's a range of opinions among blacks in South Carolina.
Speaker 4: And the thing I'll add to that, Joy, I think
Speaker 4: you're spot on. It also takes black people out of
Speaker 4: this position we are constantly put in the position of
Speaker 4: having to make a do or die, last minute, everything
Speaker 4: on the line decision for democracy. It takes us out
Speaker 4: of that. And I was talking to I mentioned this
Speaker 4: point recently in a video that I did with Charles
Speaker 4: Blow where he mentioned, like, I'm tired of black people
Speaker 4: being in this in between tiebreaker, you know, kind of
Speaker 4: position that were constantly put in. And I think this
Speaker 4: allows us to one express our truest, deepest black political
Speaker 4: power imagination, right like, like black voters in South Carolina
Speaker 4: get to set the pace. In so many ways, we
Speaker 4: get to say, actually, you know, maybe we wouldn't have
Speaker 4: chosen Joe Biden if we weren't in the necessary gotta
Speaker 4: do what we gotta do to make sure we get
Speaker 4: out of this kind of position. Maybe black voters would
Speaker 4: have chose someone else. Maybe you would see a more
Speaker 4: progressive vote coming out of South Carolina.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I would have still chosen.
Speaker 3: Back Obama.
Speaker 4: But but really my point is, in this case, for real,
Speaker 4: for real, we have the opportunity or South Carolina voters
Speaker 4: have the opportunity to express something that's unconventional. Perhaps and
Speaker 4: it's whatever they want. Maybe they go with the moderate
Speaker 4: that's fine, but at the very least we get to
Speaker 4: express outside of the confines of hey guys, this is
Speaker 4: do or die, and if you don't choose the right one,
Speaker 4: everything falls apart.
Speaker 3: Think they would if the election was ill today, Oh
Speaker 3: Lord Jesus.
Speaker 4: Depends upon who's running. Obviously, if all of the hopefuls
Speaker 4: are running, I'm gonna say that Vice President Kamala Hairs
Speaker 4: still has an edge.
Speaker 2: In South Carolina and.
Speaker 10: South Carolina because she didn't and when she was running
Speaker 10: against Biden, because remember it was Corey Corey Booker and
Speaker 10: her and Kamala Harris and Biden and Biden beat both
Speaker 10: those those exactly.
Speaker 4: And I also think there's a real injury. I think
Speaker 4: people feel like she was something was taken from her
Speaker 4: and that she should have been present. And so in
Speaker 4: this moment, it's a different political, you know, moment. And
Speaker 4: I think Joe Biden obviously had the name ID and
Speaker 4: the history, and I think she kind of carries a
Speaker 4: little bit of that today. I'm not you know who
Speaker 4: knows right she carried it?
Speaker 10: Though? How much would that complicate the field, because now,
Speaker 10: you know, people are trying to say it's not it's
Speaker 10: a less powerful position. But think about how powerful Iowa
Speaker 10: has been for decades, all our whole lives. Now South
Speaker 10: Carolina's in that position, and suddenly the white media is saying, oh,
Speaker 10: that means it's less powerful since.
Speaker 3: What went Literally, we've been the most powerful.
Speaker 1: Barack Obama won the Iowa Caucuses and that made some folks,
Speaker 1: particularly in our community, say, oh, maybe we can't have
Speaker 1: a black president. Remember y'all, we had Negro saying yeah,
Speaker 1: black president. Country not ready for that, right, And it
Speaker 1: was we had the CBC was split between a President
Speaker 1: Obama and Hillary the Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton.
Speaker 2: Yes, indeed.
Speaker 1: Well, anyway, we got some other news because y'all know,
Speaker 1: we can have a hale. We need to have a
Speaker 1: town hall on that. Maybe we go to the South
Speaker 1: and y'all let's go and talk to all people.
Speaker 2: Let's do that.
Speaker 5: I'm trying to be there.
Speaker 8: Nobody knows.
Speaker 1: So we also have seen a lot of news swirling
Speaker 1: around Nolan Wells, the tragic death of Nolan Wells. I
Speaker 1: got to see his family, Garrison enjoy at the NAACP.
Speaker 1: But I think we should get into like everything that's
Speaker 1: swirling around online and what we actually know versus what
Speaker 1: we don't.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good point. It's a lot of conversation
Speaker 4: online right now. The you know, one of the things
Speaker 4: that I love to see over the weekend was so
Speaker 4: many people just posting the name Nolan Wells, like we're
Speaker 4: not letting this fade away. And I think that's so important,
Speaker 4: So I'm glad we're talking about it. Audio engineer Janetta
Speaker 4: Brantley did some engineering on a phone call that was
Speaker 4: made to Cetow by some of Nolan Well's alleged friends.
Speaker 4: She did some cleanup on that audio so that you
Speaker 4: can kind of make out a little bit of what
Speaker 4: was being discussed in the background, and it is sparking
Speaker 4: a lot of conversation. There's also been reports coming out
Speaker 4: of TMZ and other sources about Nolan Well saying that
Speaker 4: he was drinking quote unquote heavily on the island, and
Speaker 4: that's been a part of the.
Speaker 2: Discussion prosecuting him after his death.
Speaker 4: So yeah, let's let's talk about that more.
Speaker 1: Angela, Why I think that one, I do think we
Speaker 1: should listen to this audio, but I think regardless of
Speaker 1: if he was drinking or not, those boys were all
Speaker 1: sitting in a picture with beer, all of them are drinking.
Speaker 1: If you listen to this audio, which I know we're
Speaker 1: going to do shortly, the dude, the young man, sounds
Speaker 1: like he's inebriated, you know.
Speaker 2: So it's just like, why are we talking about him.
Speaker 2: He died. However, he died.
Speaker 1: It's tragic and it is not his fault because he
Speaker 1: was drinking and like them doing.
Speaker 2: The same thing. It just irks me that we always
Speaker 2: are having to.
Speaker 1: Talk about what we did wrong that would have earned
Speaker 1: our death, and that is frustrating to me.
Speaker 4: As a black guys, should we listen to this audio
Speaker 4: really quick?
Speaker 3: Let's play that?
Speaker 11: Okay? So before I play this, I want to quickly
Speaker 11: explain what I did, what you're looking at on the screen,
Speaker 11: and why I chose to approach this audio the way
Speaker 11: that I did. As a professional audio engineer with experience
Speaker 11: and dialogue editing, dialogue clean up, sound design, and post production,
Speaker 11: I decided to work on that see to call using
Speaker 11: traditional audio processing techniques rather than relying on any AI
Speaker 11: voice separation or AI enhancement. My goal was pretty much
Speaker 11: to preserve as much of the original recording as possible
Speaker 11: while making the quieter dialogue and background audio easier to hear.
Speaker 11: And I specifically chose not to rely on AI because
Speaker 11: aggressive AI enhancements and voice isolation tools can sometimes introduce
Speaker 11: artifacts and distort the speech, or create ambiguity around the
Speaker 11: sounds that were originally present, and for something this serious,
Speaker 11: I wanted my processing to remain as conservative as possible.
Speaker 11: For this first video, I'm sharing only approximately thirty seven
Speaker 11: seconds of the call. I originally intended to continue much further,
Speaker 11: but once I separated the dispatcher from the boat and
Speaker 11: started concentrating exclusively on the background dialogue, what I believed
Speaker 11: I was hearing became extremely difficult for me to process emotionally.
Speaker 11: I needed to take a mental break, and so I'm
Speaker 11: gonna let the audio play. Read my read my transcription
Speaker 11: if you want a reference, but don't allow it to
Speaker 11: determine what you hear. I want you to listen first,
Speaker 11: listen again, compare with the original recording, and then judge
Speaker 11: it with your own ears.
Speaker 9: Okay, god, hey, we're the West tip of porn and
Speaker 9: h our billage stopped working.
Speaker 3: We're going, we're thinking.
Speaker 9: Can y'all please can we have I've never should look up.
Speaker 4: I believe that's it. So that was the audio.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know how she could hear it.
Speaker 1: Like for me, all I heard them say was, oh
Speaker 1: my god, that's the clearest thing I heard before he
Speaker 1: started yelling shut the f up at people. But the
Speaker 1: rest of that I can't make anything out. I know
Speaker 1: she had a transcript that she put on the side.
Speaker 1: I love to hear, but you all think I could
Speaker 1: just be hard at hearing, but I can't.
Speaker 2: I can't understand.
Speaker 10: I will tell you I wish that she hadn't put
Speaker 10: the transcript to it to be honest, because I you know,
Speaker 10: we played that same audio. We downloaded it from WLOX,
Speaker 10: which was the local Mississippi station that got the audio first,
Speaker 10: and so a lot of us downloaded that audio. We
Speaker 10: had our audio guy go through it without AI and
Speaker 10: just clean it up as an audio X. But we
Speaker 10: did the same thing, and we played it for Frank
Speaker 10: fin Glusey, who's a former FBI assistant director, and for
Speaker 10: Reva Martin and for Dina dol two attorneys, and we
Speaker 10: played it for them without a transcript and without telling
Speaker 10: them what they were going to hear, because I think
Speaker 10: when you see the words under you hear the words
Speaker 10: because your brain tells you that what you're reading is
Speaker 10: what you're hearing. And when I first heard this audio
Speaker 10: and this cleaned up audio that this sister did, and
Speaker 10: God bless her for trying to help with his case,
Speaker 10: I was reading the audio and so I now cannot
Speaker 10: unhear the.
Speaker 3: Words that she's saying. I hear every single thing.
Speaker 10: He's dead, they killed him, barred, shut the f up?
Speaker 3: Is he really dead? I hear all of it, but I'm.
Speaker 10: Now not sure I trust my own mind because I
Speaker 10: feel like the transcript and me knowing what I was
Speaker 10: gonna hear influence me. We play this for our staff.
Speaker 10: No one on my staff heard what I heard. I'm
Speaker 10: the only one who seems to have heard it. So
Speaker 10: I think this is playing with our emotions and our brain.
Speaker 10: At this point, we need and Frank Faglusey did say
Speaker 10: this the FBI if we had a real FBI cash,
Speaker 10: buttel ass need to get this audio, and they have
Speaker 10: much more powerful equipment than that sister who's a Hollywood
Speaker 10: editor has. We need to have a real cleanup of
Speaker 10: this audio. And I'm gonna say one last thing, and
Speaker 10: this is maybe some heterism Black folks.
Speaker 3: Since we home, we home, Can.
Speaker 10: We stop acting like Nancy Grace's presence suddenly solves the crime.
Speaker 3: That lady is not the.
Speaker 1: FBI Chad the way that people say gys crazy ass
Speaker 1: on the case.
Speaker 2: Now we're going to solve it.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I went over, come on, like, let's stop
Speaker 3: with that. But anyway, didn't she.
Speaker 1: Play didn't she play audio that also has been authenticated
Speaker 1: on her She.
Speaker 10: Then yes, She then took that same cleaned up audio,
Speaker 10: she further cleaned it up to make it almost crystal
Speaker 10: clear that you're hearing those words. But I'm like, who
Speaker 10: did that? What is the authentication of that? And are
Speaker 10: you gaslighting us with giving us what we want to
Speaker 10: believe in hear? Because people don't trust them white boys.
Speaker 10: So I'm like, don't do that, because number one, you're
Speaker 10: setting a lot of content creators up to say things
Speaker 10: into camera that may not be true.
Speaker 3: We do not know what happened to this child.
Speaker 10: We all want to know that Mama deserves answers, but
Speaker 10: this is not giving her answers or comfort. What this
Speaker 10: is doing is sending all of us down a path
Speaker 10: that may turn out not to be true. So I
Speaker 10: do not trust their story either. There are a millionions
Speaker 10: of holes in these stories. I think giving that interview
Speaker 10: to uh, the black black copper copper, whatever his name is,
Speaker 10: I keep saying his name is Officer Remis, and I don't.
Speaker 3: Know why I can't. I want to call him.
Speaker 10: My mind tells me because I got menopause, I'll be
Speaker 10: calling him.
Speaker 1: Remus or Ruckus or nearest who knows who knows at
Speaker 1: this point?
Speaker 2: Or Thomas.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, speaking of Thomas, we do have
Speaker 1: a listener question. Who is asking something about your Supreme Court?
Speaker 4: I mean, I.
Speaker 2: Found my best, you know, funt of.
Speaker 1: Money out here. But we have we have a question
Speaker 1: about the Supreme Court. We're going to answer this and
Speaker 1: then get in the cause dash because Joey got a guy.
Speaker 1: She got a shout at you too. That's what the question.
Speaker 2: Hey again, Native Land family.
Speaker 12: My name is Janiary Turner and I am in the
Speaker 12: Atlanta area and my question is about the Supreme Court.
Speaker 12: So every time that a goes to the Supreme Court,
Speaker 12: I get nervous and very anxious because of a lot
Speaker 12: of the judges that are on the Supreme Court. So
Speaker 12: my question is what is it going to take or
Speaker 12: what needs to be done to remove some of the
Speaker 12: people on the Supreme Court. And do you all think
Speaker 12: that that's even a possibility. I think that there are
Speaker 12: a lot of things that are unethical that our Supreme
Speaker 12: Court justices are doing, some of them more than others.
Speaker 12: And I will just say I like it better when
Speaker 12: the city girls get fleut out instead of a sitting
Speaker 12: Supreme Court justice. So and I miss you on the shell,
Speaker 12: Tiffany by.
Speaker 1: Y'all shout out to tiffing them books. She's working hard
Speaker 1: out here too. So I love this question. Just from
Speaker 1: a historical standpoint, just to disappoint this a little bit,
Speaker 1: that only just this of the Supreme Court ever being
Speaker 1: peached is Justice Samuel Chase. Associate Justice Samuel Chase in
Speaker 1: eighteen oh five. Doesn give us a lot of hope.
Speaker 1: So it might not be too much removing, especially in
Speaker 1: this environment. But perhaps we can add some That's what
Speaker 1: our good friend Ellie missed Out says often that maybe
Speaker 1: we can just add some seats to the bench. And
Speaker 1: of course I would support that. And then Claire's can
Speaker 1: go at any time, anytime, at anytime, because.
Speaker 2: He is busy getting fluid out. He is the certified
Speaker 2: Supreme Court.
Speaker 3: Huci he for sale? No, he for sale? Say oh,
Speaker 3: it's crazy.
Speaker 10: He does work for free for a billionaire who is
Speaker 10: sort of the equivalent of a plantation owner.
Speaker 3: Just say it.
Speaker 10: But anyway, let me say this, I have a devious
Speaker 10: plan to change the Supreme Court that will help assistant. Okay,
Speaker 10: can I tell you my plan? This is my fan
Speaker 10: not that's my dog walk around background, it's not okay.
Speaker 10: I think that if the Senate were to change hands
Speaker 10: and they were to pass a rigorous, you know, ethics
Speaker 10: requirement for the Supreme Court. This is the AOC bill
Speaker 10: that's not made its way through the House, but if
Speaker 10: it were to make its way through the Senate, that
Speaker 10: would ban any gifts to Supreme Court justices, ban them
Speaker 10: taking free trips, ban them from benefiting financially from their position,
Speaker 10: ban their spouses from benefiting financially from their spouse's position
Speaker 10: on the Supreme Court. My suspicion is Clarence Thomas and
Speaker 10: Alita would resign immediately. I think they would leave because
Speaker 10: they want to live rich. Their living foul and they
Speaker 10: want to keep doing it. That's one way to push
Speaker 10: them out. And then the second piece is the Eli
Speaker 10: Mastall piece. Add four more justices and just drown their
Speaker 10: votes out. If there were four more justice there are
Speaker 10: thirteen districts that they administered. There should be thirteen justices.
Speaker 10: It should have been done long ago. They have too
Speaker 10: many cases. They're doing too much in the shadow docket,
Speaker 10: meaning they don't actually do a public hearing. So I
Speaker 10: think add for more justices and a strict ethics rule.
Speaker 10: You'll drive two of them out and and then over
Speaker 10: and then just overtake them with votes.
Speaker 2: Now, how they don't have stricter ethics than the president
Speaker 2: of these United States who regularly violates themoument, Wake up,
Speaker 2: I don't know that we're gonna be able to do that.
Speaker 1: The other thing here, I don't really want to add
Speaker 1: seats right now because your guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's let's hold that thought.
Speaker 4: Maybe this is why, Angela, it matters who you vote for.
Speaker 4: Got you gotta vote some folks in who are pro democracy.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: You gotta have all three branches of the government and
Speaker 4: or the House to send it in, and of course
Speaker 4: the presidency, and you do all this stuff and then stuff.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, don't do it yet, don't do it because
Speaker 10: they need to Trump need to stay alive, and they
Speaker 10: two need to stay alive. We want Alito and Thomas
Speaker 10: to stay all the way through Trump's term. We need
Speaker 10: a Democrat in the White House when all this happens.
Speaker 3: Amen, that is true.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, on that note, you always calls to action.
Speaker 5: Who cares about truth when the.
Speaker 13: Last morning seated.
Speaker 2: This is how we in our show.
Speaker 1: We like for our listeners, our viewers to go from
Speaker 1: here and feel called and compelled to do something. So
Speaker 1: Joy Reid, I will start with you, since you have
Speaker 1: a show to do.
Speaker 10: Yes, So my call to action is particularly for voters
Speaker 10: in my former state of Florida. Florida, you still have
Speaker 10: time if you have not registered to vote and you
Speaker 10: have not taken interest in your primaries. There's some diabolical
Speaker 10: bullshit going on in the great state of Florida. We
Speaker 10: must take action in these primaries. In Florida twenty there
Speaker 10: are eighteen hundred people running, including Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who
Speaker 10: as a carpetbagger. You must stop her. It's important that
Speaker 10: we keep that seat in the hands of an African
Speaker 10: American because that is where that seat was drawn. And
Speaker 10: then in Florida twenty four you've got some shenanigans. There
Speaker 10: are too many people running. We have to discipline ourselves
Speaker 10: to take our power in the primaries. So please take
Speaker 10: your power in the primaries in Florida. Also in Missouri's
Speaker 10: first district, please get Corey Bush over the line. It
Speaker 10: sends a message to these big interests if you defeat
Speaker 10: their candidates. So I am rooting hard for Corey and
Speaker 10: I'm rooting for anybody black in Florida District twenty. That's
Speaker 10: what I call to action. Please get in these primaries
Speaker 10: and vote.
Speaker 2: I love it. Garrison.
Speaker 4: Okay, we are in Tennessee. Tennessee is Tequila Johnson we
Speaker 4: played earlier and her colleague Charlene Oliver, who both started
Speaker 4: the Tennessee Equity Alliance, say this all the time. Tennessee
Speaker 4: is not a red state. It is a jerry mandard state.
Speaker 4: It is a low voter turnout state. We have early
Speaker 4: voting happening right now across the state. I'm looking specifically
Speaker 4: at Tennessee's ninth congressional district, where our friend Justin Pearson
Speaker 4: is running, and I am encouraging everyone my call to action.
Speaker 4: If you live in the great state of Tennessee, are
Speaker 4: you registered vote? Have you asked the people in your
Speaker 4: life to vote? If you're in District nine, vote in
Speaker 4: the primary, send a message that you're paying attention, that
Speaker 4: you're locked in. So you know, we are less than
Speaker 4: one hundred days out from the midterms, and so all
Speaker 4: of my calls to action will be around voting and
Speaker 4: getting ready to vote.
Speaker 2: The SNOW member, I love it.
Speaker 1: My call to action is first, I just want to
Speaker 1: give a shout out to my friend Charlie Stanberry, who
Speaker 1: won president of the National Bar Association. We worked on
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill together CBC Family for Life. Turns out we
Speaker 1: are a little relevant around here. So I just want
Speaker 1: to shout out, she won and she understands the assignment,
Speaker 1: and so my call to action for you all is
Speaker 1: to understand the assignment. There are little things that we
Speaker 1: can do to make our organizations more relevant, stronger, developing
Speaker 1: a foundation where they can actually build capacity and infrastructure.
Speaker 1: It costs thirty dollars to join the NAACP. Thirty dollars,
Speaker 1: not thirty dollars a month, not thirty dollars a day,
Speaker 1: thirty dollars for the year. I would encourage you all
Speaker 1: to really think about if thirty dollars is gonna cause
Speaker 1: you harm when you know you're paying that every month
Speaker 1: to Netflix a paramount or Stars or whatever else to
Speaker 1: be is free. But me and joy Watch two be
Speaker 1: every now and then. Don't judge us, but there are
Speaker 1: a number of subscriptions that you have in your life
Speaker 1: that costs more than that. This is an annual fee
Speaker 1: of thirty dollars for my lawyers, my black lawyers at
Speaker 1: home that are seeking to be the social engineers. The
Speaker 1: Charles Hamilton Houston challenge us to be considered joining the
Speaker 1: National Bar this year. Associate members are one hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: Pre laws one hundred dollars. I will sponsor anybody in
Speaker 1: law school right now. You want to be a member,
Speaker 1: not all of y'all, just one, just one.
Speaker 3: You gotta find your money.
Speaker 4: I'll sponsor another.
Speaker 3: About I like that good job, Gearson.
Speaker 2: Your wife is gonna be proud. She want that award.
Speaker 2: And you said, I'm putting my money where my mouth is.
Speaker 9: That's right.
Speaker 1: Retired folks won twenty five practice in less than five
Speaker 1: years one to twenty five practice and more than five
Speaker 1: years two fifty government, nonprofit lawyers, two fifty judicial two
Speaker 1: fifty and life memberships are five thousand dollars. That's a lot,
Speaker 1: but you get a discount on your registration fees. Shout
Speaker 1: out to my discount on this year's registration fee with
Speaker 1: six ninety nine instead of a thousand on site.
Speaker 2: So it's working over time.
Speaker 1: My only point is you can pay into something that
Speaker 1: is going to protect you in the long run. We
Speaker 1: have to be in survival mode. We got to be
Speaker 1: in protection mode so we can get that thriving mode.
Speaker 1: And we can't do that outside of our institutions, especially
Speaker 1: for we're withholding our gifts only to share our criticism.
Speaker 2: So that's my call to action. I'm grateful to you
Speaker 2: offer your time. It's an amazing Wait.
Speaker 10: Wait wait, so sister Jackie have assistance.
Speaker 3: JAT. I have to call Jackie because you know I
Speaker 3: got to get Yeah, I'm like, she's not here.
