38
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: he is, but that but still that is still legendary.

39
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: And he walked, he came down the hallway in the

40
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: black first coach shades. I was like, I know, his

41

Speaker 1: this here as soon as he walked in, like diet.

43
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: They didn't have to check any evidence. Didn't diet him.

44
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: But but you know, but that's what makes him so

45
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: popular and culture. Though it be those moments like that, No,

46
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: it probably was him catching passes. I think that was rebellion. Man.

47
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: You know that. That's why they loved the Bobby Browns

48
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: of the world. That's why they loved the Tysons. People

49
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: love rebells. It's a bunch of folks who rebellious, who

00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,240

00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: ain want nothing in the last generation, nothing Texans, all

56
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: the oilers. Guess what Junior asking on my couch was

57
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: comfort sitting over here. Indeed, indeed, how the browning of

58
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: Americans making white folks lose their minds? Look at that

59
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: look at that cover. Look at that photo that's when

60
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: January was six. He got his white guy's arms outstretched.

61
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: He's basically saying all this is ours. And that really

62
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: does explain the reality of white American the history of

63
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: this country. This country was formed to create it for them. Uh.

64
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,399
Speaker 1: And so what they're freaking out about is where we're

65
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: now moving twenty forty three nation becoming a majority of

66
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: people of color. Uh. And it shows how their reaction

67
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: January six, remember Donald Trump targeted four cities. He kept

68
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: talking about Atlanta, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Detroit. Uh. And so the

69
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: anger was that black turnout, the attacks on black turnout,

70
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: gutting of Section four of the Voting Rights Act, gutting

71
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: of section two. Uh. This whole desire is this anger

72
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: at what's going on, because it's all it comes out

73
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: of money and power. Uh. And that's what it boils

74
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: down to. And so they don't want to give any

75
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: of that up. And if you look at the history

76
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: of America, every period of black success has always been

77
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: followed by white backlash from the beginning. You I mean

78
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: take the thing back to Civil War, reconstruction, Jim Crow,

79
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: every period, and the anxiety is always are you gonna

80
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: lose our jobs. Are they're gonna take our women, You're

81
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: gonna lose our money. I mean, that's that. This is

82
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: in a constant deal. Even during during the civil rights movement.

83
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: Remember you're the Civil Rights Act to sixty four Voters

84
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: Act of sixty five, but they feel it bustered Republicans

85
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: and Democrats, the Fair House and Act. They were like,

86
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: all right, we'll let y'all vote, but y'all can't live

87
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: with us. That has been a constant thing and we're

88
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: still seeing it. And this is not a white conservative thing.

89
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: It's some white Democrats and progressives who also don't want

90
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: us to be to be a part of this economic

91
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: having that economic power and and having that h that influence.

92
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: But because we've now changed with voting, we now get

93
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: our say so and they're struggling with that. And Donald

94
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: Trump was not the beginning of that. This is gonna

95
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: be a continuation, I guarantee you over the next fifty

96
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: plus years. The media person, what do you think about

97
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: Donald Trumps suing CNN? Okay, he sues a whole batch

98
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: of people and loses. That's his thing. His things to

99
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: cause may him, but he don't want their positions do

100
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: you think he don't. He don't want to have to

101
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: sit across. Look how long he fought Latitia James and

102
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: then they said four hundred times, I'll play the fifth.

103
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: Do you think he has any type of legs to

104
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: stand on with that with because he lies, he laughs

105
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: about lies. I think he does. How so I don't

106
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: think he'll win, but I think he does sympically because

107
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: what he's trying to paint CNN as is a news

108
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: network that only paints, that only shows one side of him,

109
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: that only shows one narrative, the liar. Sure, but that's

110
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: what he said. He said, they never say anything positive.

111
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: That's a lie. That's what he says. He lies, and

112
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: don't mean when people when people are running the montage,

113
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: it's just CNN saying a bunch of negative stuff about

114
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: because he lies. So they're helping. They're not helping his

115
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: case if he's saying that, they don't ever say anything

116
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: positive about so you're saying that's literally so you're saying,

117
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: see it and says positive things about him. They hired

118
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: Kaylee MCKININNY. They hired people who came to his defense.

119
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: He is a lie. The lawsuit is a lie. Yes.

120
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: So the bottom line is they're not helping him. He lied,

121
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: but they are helping him lies about they're helping When

122
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: people play the montage and say, well, listen to what

123
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: he said, he's basically telling you this is all they

124
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: do is paint me. Is now they're not. If you lie,

125
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: okay every time, then they gonna run you lie. That's

126
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 1: like a woman saying, uh, dude saying I told truth

127
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: one time. Yeah, but you've been a hole. I mean

128
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: you can't go I said some truth one time and

129
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: then go baby, while you calling me a lie because

130
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: you're a liar. But the best way to make him

131
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: be a liar is the show. No we do when

132
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: he does do something, I guess good, we do talk

133
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: about it. They do? They have I done that because

134
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: because Trump is saying, they don't ever say anything positive

135
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: about him. If the basis of the lawsuit, Charlemagne, okay, Charlemagne,

136
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: you literally are trying to provide some common sense to

137
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: an uncommon lie, there is no there's no common sense.

138
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: They if they've hired people on the air who have

139
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: defended him, is that positive? Yes, Okay, they've hired him.

140
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: Kaylee mcnanny was an airhead. She was anti Trump and

141
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: then she flipped. She later became his press secretary. So

142
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: his whole deal is everything he does his lie. He

143
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: is whole mantra of fake news. The whole point is,

144
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw it out there and my thought is

145
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: gonna believe that anything you say is a lie. So

146
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: even when you tell the truth, then it's a lie.

147
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: His whole deal about the big lie about the election.

148
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: That's what it's all about. His whole goal is to

149
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: cause the centric it's called disruption. And now what has

150
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: happened again part of white lie, white fear. All of

151
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: these individuals, they're not running for office, people running for

152
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: attorney general, secretary of state, governor, they're not running for

153
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: boards of elections. They have taken the lie and they

154
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: not have weaponized it, and they now want to take

155
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: over voting apparatus in numerous states. And so the lie

156
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: has now been weaponized to the point is now expanded.

157
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: You literally have hundreds of candidates on the ballot in November,

158
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: who a lie with him? Lyon asked Jenny Thomas, okay, clarens.

159
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: Thomas's don't mess with my Jenny okay. Went before the

160
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: January as his committee, and she said the election was

161
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: rigged lyon. So he is a liar. He's a flat

162
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: out liar, and he can go to hell. Question do

163
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 1: you think do you think that's just the risk you

164
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: run when you have like opinion based platforms, Like sometimes

165
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: people might hit you with a defamation suit or a

166
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: slant the suit for first of all, defamation and slander.

167
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: There's a high legal standard for public officials. Yeah, okay,

168
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: you have that, But when you're operating on truth, then

169
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: that's the piece. Look, I got Republicans who don't want

170
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: to come to my show because I don't let them lie,

171
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 1: and so the piece so and that's why I get

172
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: upset when I watched a lot of these shows and

173
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: folks lie. So for instance, when sorry as Bill Maher

174
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: allowed that woman the other day to lie on Kamala

175
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: Harris and then he didn't correct her when she talked about, oh,

176
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: he puts in all these men, she sent all these

177
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: men and women to prison for weed uh and and

178
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: breakfast club. And then Bill Maher sitting there with his

179
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: pothead sell, don't say a word. I don't let folks

180
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: lie because when you when someone lies, if they're listening,

181
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: to this show and a lie is told and you

182
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: say nothing for me, the public goals, well, h Angela

183
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: NV and Charlotte didn't say nothing, so what they said

184
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: must have been true. No, well no, no, what he

185
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: did was why why he didn't didn't correct him? And

186
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: I was like Van van Sure said, wait a minute,

187
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: what you just said is a flat out lie. You

188
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: don't let lies stand, and so that's why, and I

189
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: don't tell them. I'll let you finish. What you're not

190
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: gonna do is sit here and lie, and I just

191
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 1: sit there and just nod and let you continue. Because

192
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: the public needs to have enough faith in us that

193
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 1: we have enough information and the moment you lie, we say,

194
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: way to stop, that's not true, or if you gotta

195
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: prove that, you're not just gonna throw something out there.

196
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: And so that's how that's why this microphone cameras are important,

197
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: because we have to we have to have so much

198
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 1: trust in it and have and have care with it

199
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: that we refuse to let anybody lie in our face.

200
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: Because the audience goes, well, that must be true. So

201
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: they now run with that lie, and now it's harder

202
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: to bring it back in as supposed to say stop.

203
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: What you just said is simply incorrect. But I need

204
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: you give us some facts now because I know people

205
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: will see this and they'll be like, well, Kamala Harris

206
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: did like a bunch of a whole bunch of people

207
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: before weed in California. Well, first of all, if you

208
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: actually I have actually brought on a brother who went

209
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: through the whole record, the number of prosecutions in San

210
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: Francisco decline from the previous DA when she became DA two,

211
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: they created altern to programs for individuals who had U

212
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: who arrested for weed. Second of all, the number of

213
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: people in California when the prison there was one went down.

214
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: So again, when people say, well, just what you said,

215
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: she like a whole lot of people? Up? How many?

216
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: M no, how many? No, no, no no, but you just

217
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: said you just said she liked a lot of people.

218
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: How many? Oh, I didn't say that. I was quote

219
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: quoting No no, no no, no, no, no no no. You

220
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: quoted folks who did not have accurate information. So even

221
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: whatso even so even that's no, no no no no no

222
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: no no no no no, he's it. Though, So even

223
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: when we say, some people say, I don't even reference

224
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: lies because what I'm now doing is I'm now weaponizing

225
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: the lie. So even even the corrected you don't reference it,

226
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: even the corre you don't reference. No, no no, no, it's

227
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: not a question to correct. What I'm not gonna do

228
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 1: is some people say she locked up a lot of people.

229
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: First of all, let's break that statement. Now, what does

230
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: it even mean? What's a lot? Okay? If she locked

231
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: up five thousand, well, homedy were locked up before her?

232
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: Was it ten thousand? So ten thousand locked it before her?

233
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: And then she locked up five thousand, that's a decrease. Correct,

234
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: So again that has to be stated. Second of all,

235
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: does the Attorney general lock people up boards of local

236
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: DA's see? So again I don't just go some people.

237
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: I hate that phrase because because even stating that, it

238
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: has to be rooted in fact. And that's why I

239
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: don't simply do any that. Anytime I forced people to

240
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: have to defend a statement and say no, no, no,

241
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: you need to provide evidence to back that up. And

242
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: so so what if somebody says, well five thousand was

243
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: too many, Okay, But if it was ten thousand and

244
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: she came in and changed the policy and then it

245
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: was cut in half, do you not give credit to

246
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: cutting in and a half where I come from, you

247
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: actually do. It's called context. And the problem we have

248
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: especially with too many of these of them gossip blogs

249
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: and these people who are aggregators, who all they do

250
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: is repeat something else somebody else. Right, they don't have

251
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: any contexts. They provide no nuance, they provide no factual information.

252
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: They don't ask the second question too often, as Katherin

253
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: Hughes said, they ain't deeper than Mustart on a high

254
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: Dog said, making white folks lose their minds. Right, Yeah,

255
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: So now what does that mean for minorities and black people?

256
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: What should we be most worried about? Well, what it

257
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: means is, I don't want us in twenty forty three,

258
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: in twenty fifty to look like South Africa where black

259
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: folks who had the numbers got political power but still

260
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: were economically deprived or to pro educationally. And that's what

261
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: it boils down to. This is about power. Right now,

262
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: the Congression of Black Caucus has fifty eight members. Supreme

263
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: Court is hearing two cases where there should be the

264
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: additional seat in Louisiana and Alabama that will go up

265
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: to sixty. Governor Ronder Santus in Florida completely obliterates black

266
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 1: districts because they want to let more Republicans. That is

267
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: about power. When you're talking about elected office, that's power.

268
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: That's control over resources, that's allocating billions of dollars. That's

269
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: what this thing all boils down to. And so what

270
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm talking about is we have to recognize what's going

271
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: on here. We gotta be in a situation where, Okay,

272
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: federal government right now five hundred and sixty billion dollars

273
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: to spent every single year on contracts. We get one

274
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: point six seven percent of those contracts. Well, if you

275
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: now have more representatives who now use the levels of power,

276
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: increases that. In the speech Saturday night before the coression

277
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: of Black Caucus Foundation, Biden talked about taking those numbers

278
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: up to I think it was one hundred billion dollars.

279
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: That's going to be a tall task going from nine

280
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: to one hundred and five years. But that's the whole point.

281
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: When you talk about this infrastructure bill that was passed

282
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: one point two trillion, more than six hundred billion, it's

283
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: gonna be for transportation. I moderated the panel with Secretary

284
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: of People Buddha judge talking about how are we going

285
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: to benefit from those contracts? Leveraging that is power. You

286
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: look at the fight that we have in the advertising

287
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: industry through twenty two billion spin every year, only point

288
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: five percent going to black owned media, and we've now

289
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: forced General Motors and Target and McDonald's and these numerous

290
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: companies to increase their black owned media spin. That's leveraging,

291
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: using your leverage and influence to drop economic power. And

292
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: so we can't we can't lose sight of how do

293
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: we take advantage of that? What you have folk here,

294
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: do not want us to be able to build, to

295
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: be able to grow, because when we're frozen out of

296
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: the economic piece, then guess what every other issue that

297
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: we care about, criminal justice, reform, mass incarceration, education, it

298
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: all ties back the money in America. If you ain't

299
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,479
Speaker 1: having a money conversation, you're not having an American conversation.

300
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: That's what this bols down to. When even when you

301
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: say white folks have lost their mind, you know, history

302
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: shows us they never really had it. Sound right, well,

303
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: but but but but obviously you understand the phrase there

304
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: because he now is becoming real to you. Remember the

305
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: last election seventy one twenty twenty, seventy one to seventy

306
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: three percent of total turnout was white. Okay, So that

307
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: so people sit there and go, oh, without black folks

308
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: won this election. Okay, yes and no, but the bomb

309
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: line's just here. That means that African Americans Latino's agent

310
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: of Americans. All combined, we were about twenty eight total.

311
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: But you're now seeing that drop. You're now seeing how

312
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: the numbers are changing. So when you hear the great

313
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: replacement theory, okay, this fear they're replacing us, No, they're

314
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: replacing you white folks, y'all stop having babies, Y'll stop

315
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: having sex. That's what actually happened for the increase that

316
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: cause the white death rate caused the white the white

317
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: uh caused the white death rate increase, but also life

318
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: expectancy to actually drop as well. But COVID also caused

319
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: black man's life expectations to drop about three years. So

320
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: all these things are happening before us. The thing that

321
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: that they right now, I think it's about twelve states

322
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: the annual white death rate is higher than the white

323
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: birth rate. So they're angry about an increasing minority population.

324
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: Yado ones who stops growing? How you mad at us

325
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 1: because you stopped having kids. And this has been going

326
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: on in Europe the last fifteen years. The reason you

327
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: had this this immigration back last in Europe is because

328
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: guess what, Italians, their numbers are dropping, the French, the Germans,

329
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: and so for for nations to continue to continue to

330
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: be strong, you literally have to replace people, meaning you

331
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: have to either birthmore people or you must have immigration

332
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: to be able to sustain a country economically. That's just

333
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: that's just simple math. And folks are hating that, but

334
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: they don't want to deal with that, and their reaction

335
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: to this is that's why we hear these phrases, we're

336
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 1: losing our way. But what does that mean? We're we're

337
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: losing our culture. Well, first of all, what's our culture?

338
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: We're losing what we know America to be? Well, what

339
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: does a what exactly is America to you? So that's

340
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: why the Kaethartic thing was so strong, because they were like,

341
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: how dare you? It's first responders, it's the flag, it's America,

342
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: And we're like, we kind of look at that a

343
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: little bit different from y'all. Since you brought up immigration,

344
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: can you talk about the governors in Texas and Florida

345
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 1: and the whole situation with the flying and busting migrants

346
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: to Martha's vineyards, pushing buttons of white fear. Here's a deal,

347
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: Texas is our native of Texas and I'm still raised

348
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: the vote there. Do you understand the Texas economy? You

349
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: take out Latinos and black people by Texas. Here's the

350
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: other crazy thing. Because of the last census, Texas picked

351
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: up several new congressional seats because of population. What fuels

352
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: that population growth? Latinos? What did they do? They basically,

353
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: they basically created three white Republican districts, one Latinos. I find,

354
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: what give you one? But the growth was driven by

355
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: Latino population. So what you have is you have Governor

356
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: Greg Abby Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick again pressing the buttons

357
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: of white fear, and these folks that run around, Oh

358
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: my god, we're losing our state. First of all, Right now,

359
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: majority of kids in public schools right now are black

360
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: and Latino. Now ask the question, who's controlling those economic levers,

361
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: who's controlling those dollars, who's controlling the curriculum, who's controlling

362
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: the hiring of teaching? So what's that's what you're seeing,

363
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: and so what Rhonda Santis is doing in Florida, what

364
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 1: Greg Abbot is doing in Texas, they are fueling that

365
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: white rage. Everything about critical race theory was about fueling

366
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: white rage, this anger against d EI, diversity, equity, inclusion.

367
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: Look at the reaction all these white conservatives had to

368
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: when Vice President Kamala Harris hit the other day, we're

369
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: going to ensure this equity when it comes to Hurricane

370
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:25,719
Speaker 1: even she should have stood on that. I hated as

371
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: she backed up off of that. Right. What they should again,

372
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: what the White House should have said it is I'm sorry.

373
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: Here are examples of previous hurricanes and natural disasters. Report

374
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: has been done in The New York Times, been done

375
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: by other media outlets, pro publicating others showing how black

376
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: and brown communities were shorted out of dollars when it

377
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: came to Hurricane Relieve it is undeniable. But see again

378
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: what happens is and this is where liberals and progressive

379
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: really pissed me off because they don't know how to fight.

380
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: They get pushed back from conservatives and Fox News and

381
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: conservative radio, and they all take it and run with it,

382
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh my God, they upset, tell him

383
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: go to hell and say hit him with the facts.

384
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: And see they're unwilling to challenge them. I like Mark Levin,

385
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: conservative radio talk show hosts. He was going off the

386
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: other day on me and Maya Wiley because when I

387
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: moderated a voting session at gregenal backcacause and he goes

388
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: Roland Martin, he's such a liberal, he will never invite

389
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: me on his show. What it was a brother who

390
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: was listening, who was texting me while I was live

391
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: on my show. What he said? I said that, what

392
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: he said? I invited his ass on the show right there,

393
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: didn't have my producer call when the show was over.

394
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: Then hit him the following Monday. He hain't hit back.

395
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: See they are used to throwing rocks, but they ain't

396
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 1: used to getting hit. The White House has to learn

397
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: how to hit, how to hit hard. Look, Chris christ

398
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: is still mad after I lit his ass up on

399
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: ABC this week. That was a year. I ain't been

400
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: invited back since, but I had been on in twenty

401
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: months when I went on there, and my whole deal

402
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: was when the topic came up, I'm gonna hit you,

403
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: and so we we we we can't be afraid. There

404
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: are people are like, well, I mean, you know, I

405
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: mean the title in your book is is provocative. I said, well, hey,

406
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: I said, Larry Elder put a book book out called

407
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: stupid Black Man. I said, and y'all at them, I'm

408
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: gonna call it like it is because it is white fear.

409
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: The studies show it. They are running around, Oh my god,

410
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: we're losing, We're gonna be losing resources. And Steady came

411
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: out twenty eighteen. This is laughing where white voters is.

412
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 1: Two thousand and eight, white voters were said they were

413
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 1: they were rebelling against welfare programs because they were losing

414
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: money and menards were gaining. You knew, it's more broke

415
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: as white people in America, absolute people. You know, who

416
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: gets more welfare? White people? Who gets more of medicated

417
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: white people? Who when you at cutting poverty, when the

418
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:06,239
Speaker 1: numbers increase, who increases the highest? White people? But the

419
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: problem is media for more than fifty years has created

420
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: the picture that welfare as black black people. So in

421
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 1: their minds when they oh my goodness, they're coming up,

422
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: they're benefiting. In two thou what started this book in

423
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine study was a pole. The question

424
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: was asked, this is around Obama's inauguration, are you optimistic

425
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: about the future of America for your children? Every group black,

426
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 1: Latino Asian majority said yes. Only one group was less

427
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: than the majority White Americans. September twenty sixteen, question was asked,

428
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: are you optimistically about the future of America economically for

429
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: the next ten years? Black people lowest wealth, highest optimism,

430
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: Latinos second, lowest wealth, highest optimism, White people highest wealth

431
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: by far, lowest optim And you gotta say, hold up,

432
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: how y'all got more money than anybody else. Do the

433
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: little optimism because they see that train coming, because their

434
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: children now have to compete. You got white men in

435
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: Hollywood right now. I mean, we can't get a new job. Oh,

436
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: the black people, we can't get a job. Oh I'm sorry.

437
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,479
Speaker 1: Y'all are used to getting ninety five percent of the jobs.

438
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: Now it's you're getting eighty eight percent, and you're pissed

439
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: it went down seven. Look at the author, James Patterson.

440
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: I don't care about that grant, that million dollars he

441
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: just gave Howard University. Why did he give it because

442
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: previously he said it's tough now for white men to

443
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: get books published. Have y'all all seen the book publishing

444
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: world and how many white men got books published? And

445
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: even when you look at the New York Times, it's

446
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: like those listens so racially biased, like the top ten

447
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: would mostly be white people. So well, they so they're

448
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: running around now going oh my god, we're losing everything,

449
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: and you're going, how y'all got They literally are angry

450
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: because they're getting two and three and five percent less,

451
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: right because, like you said, that their son a job.

452
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: That's it right there. I remember in twenty sixteen morning

453
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: Joe was having this conversation and Joe Scarborough was talking

454
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: about how, you know, he understands, you know, how these

455
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: white men are feeling because that was his one white guy.

456
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: He said, you know, I wish was back like in

457
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three, when when I got my job, I

458
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 1: can just pick the phone up and get my son

459
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: a job. And I remember Joe Scarborough made made this

460
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: comment about how the wages of black men increased of

461
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: what the wags of white men didn't, and I was like, what, Joe,

462
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: or would you like to go back and see what

463
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: the wags of black men were in the early seventies,

464
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: common sense tell you black folks were so low economically,

465
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: of course the numbers might increase because of Jim Crow.

466
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: See that's the thing I love. These people who want

467
00:25:59,960 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: to act like Jim Crow never existed. As as if

468
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: you didn't get your first wave of black people in

469
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: the media until the late nineteen sixties, early seventies, the

470
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: first wave of black people. I met the first brother

471
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: who ever worked at a bank in Louisiana, and he

472
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: got hired the year I was born. Damn bro But

473
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: but but so we're here. We are look keen because

474
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: assassinated in sixty eight, fifty four years ago. So when

475
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: you look at the growth of what happened with black people,

476
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: we really so you seventy seventy as the marker, really

477
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: because fair House an Act of sixty eight, a firm

478
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: of actual When Nixon comes in, you're only talking about

479
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: fifty two years that we've been technically free, fifty two years,

480
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: fifty two years where we've been able to actually get

481
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: government jobs, get corporate jobs. We're only on the second

482
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: generation of African Americans in corporate America. So we talk

483
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: about where we're going economically, we're not we're not talking

484
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:07,959
Speaker 1: about you know, a hundred years. I'm fifty four in November,

485
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: which means I was born not fully free. My nieces

486
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: and nephews are the first generation of Martin's born technically

487
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 1: fully free. See, we've got to stop, you know, We're

488
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 1: gonna look at this thing a lot differently and understand

489
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 1: how this system has has so beaten us down and

490
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: how we have survived and fought against it and rebelled

491
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 1: against it. So why they're angry is because we now

492
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: are saying angela voice matters, End's voice matters, Charlemagne's voicesn't matter.

493
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: They now like damn they not on TV here, not

494
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: even start their own digital shows, start their own digital networks.

495
00:27:55,080 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: Because we now got a voice and was ticking them off.

496
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: Is were willing to use it? Question? You know, we

497
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: talk about freedom, and I wonder what we're doing with

498
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: that freedom? And you have the chapter to fight to

499
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: educate black minds. Absolutely, what is the best way for

500
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: us to educate our minds? No, because there's a lot

501
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: of information out there, but don't mean it's the correct information. Well,

502
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: first off, we have to we have to return back

503
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: to the further that existed um post slavery Um. There's

504
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: a book call of Education of Blacks in the South

505
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: from eighteen sixty to nineteen thirty five. Unbelievable book, uh,

506
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: And it talks about that period, talks about how these

507
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: white abolitionists came down from the South and they were like, Oh,

508
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: we're coming down to help these these freed slaves get educated.

509
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: They roll up there and they'd already started five hundred

510
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: of schools. They were like, Oh, we weren't waiting on y'all.

511
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: These free slaves were there. He lays out in the book.

512
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: He lays out in the book that of black children

513
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: in Memphis were in school, only forty one percent of

514
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: white kids in DC were in school. So that was

515
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: a fervor, that was a That's why you had generations

516
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: of black people who had second and third grade educationally like, look,

517
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: but they sent twelve and fourteen kids through college. And

518
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: so that fervor has to return because what that does

519
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: is that absolutely equips you for what you're about to face. Now.

520
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: When you do that, you now have to pair that

521
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: what's happening economically. What we have to do also is

522
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: begin with education, began to teach our children not to

523
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: live by white validation, yes, not be a by white validation. Folks.

524
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: I had folks who came to me and they said,

525
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: when I have the TV one show, hey man, we're

526
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: gonna get you a show, bro, I'm on five days

527
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: a week. No, no, no, no no, no, I mean a

528
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: real show like CNN, MSNBC. I said, do you know

529
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: that when Brian Williams come to incomes to DC, he says,

530
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: in the same chair. I said, brother, like, what do

531
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: you mean? I said, Oh, you didn't realize. We contract

532
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: the studio out with NBC News Channel. We use the

533
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: same camera, same set, same walls, same fiber optics, same

534
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: control room. I said, but you don't think it's real.

535
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: That's white validation. And so part of that education is

536
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: affirming who we are, who we are now. The King said,

537
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: he said, we have to sign our own emancipation proclamation.

538
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: He said that we can't allow someone else to affirm us.

539
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: That's a part of the education piece. And so that

540
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: means when we are creating our own we cannot. I

541
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: had I would tell anybody who worked with me when

542
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: I was a TV one if I hear you say, well,

543
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: you know we black, You're not gonna work here, because

544
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: that phrase alone behind it means we're not as good,

545
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: we're second class. And so that's a part of the

546
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: education piece as well. Now you have to marry the

547
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: economic piece when you begin to talk about how do

548
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: we fight for equity in all of these all of

549
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: these systems, and that means how do you leverage it? So,

550
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: if you're a company out there, if you're a car company,

551
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: here's my first question. What's your black market share? Your

552
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: black market share is twelve fourteen, fifteen percent? People go,

553
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: we got a boycott? No, no, no, here's the whole deal.

554
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: Because I had a meeting with one car company. I said,

555
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: do y'all understand I don't need to take you from

556
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: fifteen to five. If I take you from fifteen to fourteen,

557
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of y'all gonna lose y'all jobs because that

558
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: means fifteen to fourteen, that's billions of dollars. I said, So,

559
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: now y'all want to have different conversation about black on

560
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: media spend. See, it's understanding how we have to leverage.

561
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: So we didn't have to ask, okay, how many of

562
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: us shop here? That's why I folk got to read

563
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: Martin Depp's book on Operation bread Basket, where they laid

564
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: the strategy out which one of them was. One of

565
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: them probably argue the most successful initiative of the King

566
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: left us. Reverend Jackson picked up, but they actually got

567
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: it from Rever Lee On Sullivan out of Philadelphia. But

568
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: that's about That was about It's about economics. What we're

569
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: doing is we're actually in many ways not fighting smart

570
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: which also goes to the education piece. When I support

571
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: charter schools because if I get to control of school

572
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: and control who gets hired, and control of spending, and

573
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: control of contrast and control the curriculum, hell, I'm down

574
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: with it. So I'm not gonna fight something that people like, well,

575
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: white folks, white racist created charter schools. I was like,

576
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: can you show me something in America white races didn't create.

577
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: So again, it's understanding, how do we now operate from

578
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: a state of mind where we're willing to own, we're

579
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: willing to take advantage of, and then willing to build that.

580
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: That is a state of mind. I long said we

581
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: need a massive reprogramming in Black America, a massive reprogramming

582
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: to think and operate differently for the next generation. You

583
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: saw Kanye do the White Lives Matter. I don't get

584
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: a shit about Kanye. Let me bundally clear. When you

585
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: spend when you expend energy on a fool, then you

586
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: end up discussing a fool. Did I post it? Nope?

587
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: Did I tweeted? Nope? Kanye is utterly irrelevant to me.

588
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: He feeds off of the drama and I will not

589
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: feed that beast. He can go to hell with cannas owns.

590
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: I don't really care in your in the white fear,

591
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: in the conclusion chafter the New American World order, you

592
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,959
Speaker 1: talk about how the same level of white resistance the

593
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: black conclusion has to operate now in the reverse. Can

594
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: you can you explain it? Yeah? And that is we

595
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: we have to we have to understand that this fierce

596
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: fight is not going away, and so we must be

597
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: hell bent on fighting white supremacy, white nationalism. And we

598
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: can't get caught up in policle alialogy. You can't be oh, well, uh,

599
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,719
Speaker 1: you're on the right and you're on the left and

600
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: you're my friend. No. No, here's why. It's a whole

601
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: who controls the money in democratic politics, White strategists, who

602
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: would they've locked out black strategists, black posters, black on media.

603
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: I went to a meeting. It was a it was

604
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: a it was a money meeting of all the different

605
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: buyers in DC, the big old meeting, about three hundred people.

606
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: It was full black people, me and three others. And

607
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there going this, who controls political spending? Nine

608
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: billion dollars would be spent in this political cycle they

609
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: have created. They got company where they become millionaires, and

610
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: then they sit there and they run campaigns for candidates,

611
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: and the black candids have no control over their campaigns

612
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: because the strategist are running it. And so I'm gonna

613
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: hit the white Democratic strategists the same way I'm gonna

614
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: hit Republicans. I did this. Look, the Obama people were

615
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: mad at me. I didn't give a damn. But when

616
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: you saw the spending, even when he was president, only

617
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: less than two percent of that money was going to

618
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,399
Speaker 1: firms that had a black partner or African Americans. It's

619
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 1: the money. You don't follow the money. You're not having

620
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: an American conversation. So we must, we must fortify ourselves

621
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: for what is happening, and understand here are not trying

622
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: to give up power easily. They're not doing that, and

623
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: so we've created a whole generation of kids. Oh no, no,

624
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: we've fought these battles for you. No. No. When Bernard

625
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: Shaw got rested Soul, when we hit CNN and we

626
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: hit Jeff Zucker because they had no black EPs, vps, SVPs,

627
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 1: EVPs and direct reports onto the board of na BJ,

628
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: Bernard Shaw made a comment when he got a Lot

629
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: Time Achieving award in Vegas in two thousand and seven

630
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: where he said, white men, your respect in the ocean

631
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: of color. And I called him and I said, were burning.

632
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: I just want to get your permission. I want to

633
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: use your clip. And this is what he said. He said, Roland,

634
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:05,240
Speaker 1: He said every generation has its turn. Now it's your turn.

635
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: What he was saying is I'm old. We fought. Now

636
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: you got to pick that thing up. That has to

637
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: be our fighting spirit. We've got to wake up and

638
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: think about this thing not in terms of am I

639
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: gonna get paid? But the battle that I'm trying to fight.

640
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,240
Speaker 1: Which is why I'm saying Black people, prepare ouselves twenty

641
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: forty three, because by twenty fourty three, I'm seventy something

642
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: years old. I'm talking about a battle for nieces and

643
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: nephews and their children's children. I do not want Black

644
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: America to be having this conversation in twenty forty three.

645
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: I agree with you. You said in that chapter of

646
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 1: that white folks need to do to have you lived hell, Yes,

647
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: we need white folks to take the lead on calling

648
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: out racism and bigotry. Yes, what reason would they have

649
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: to do that? Easy? Because guess what it ain't. It

650
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: ain't reversing. I mean, it's not reversing. You need more

651
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: more white Jane Elliot's more white. Tim Wise, you need

652
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: more conscious white folks because they're in spaces we're not in. Okay,

653
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: They're at dinner tables, they're at sorority meetings, they're at

654
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 1: the country clubs, they're in their in business meetings, when

655
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: things are being said, when subjective things are being stated. Again,

656
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: it was again going back to that ridiculous segment on

657
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 1: Bill Maher where a white woman goes, come here, she's

658
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: off putting. Stop what the hell is off putting? Everybody

659
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 1: black know what that phrase means, or you know, they

660
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:36,919
Speaker 1: just don't. It's not a good fit. Okay, So they

661
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 1: have to sit. They they can't let stuff be said

662
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: that that goes unanswered. So it's no different if we

663
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: are men and bros are making comments about women, you're like, hey, ho, no,

664
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: we ain't going that. It's like people get mad at

665
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: me because I refuse to let people use then in

666
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: word at me on my social media. I'm like, no,

667
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: first of all, how you call yourself conscious, but you're

668
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: using language of the oppression. I'm confused. I'm trying not

669
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 1: to no. No, But it's not that hard. And so

670
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's only hard when you're talking about

671
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: actual in words. No, it's not hard because sometimes you

672
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: see some something No it's not no, it's not no,

673
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: it's not because you can say that's bullshit. What's the difference.

674
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: Don't hit it hard this plump hand. No, No, yes

675
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 1: it does, yes, it does, just just it could be that.

676
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: Or look or when you see somebody, if I see

677
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,919
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna say what's up? My No, my

678
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: brother is far more affirming. Again, but again, that's say

679
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 1: that is retraining one's mind. Look, I said the N

680
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 1: word for a long time. I haven't said the thirty

681
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: plush years because I trained myself to say no. There's

682
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: a lot of words we don't use now that people

683
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: used to use that absolutely, But again we know you

684
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: cannot say certain things now. I feel I got about

685
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: to be word. Though everything you're saying I totally agree with.

686
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: I just don't know why your mind is conditioned to

687
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: keep it easy. Because because the power of white supremacy,

688
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: and this is something that we have to confront, the

689
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: power of white supremacy is so strong that it has

690
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: always forced us to see ourselves as less than God.

691
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: And there's nothing worse than seeing rself as less than

692
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: to use something at the oppressor used against you. And

693
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: then you go, oh, we reclaimed it. No you didn't,

694
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: because you can't get mad if somebody white use it.

695
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: If you so called reclaimed it, how about you obliterated? Period.

696
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: It doesn't even come into my consciousness as the first

697
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: thing to say with that video the white guy in

698
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 1: Texas who went to the door, run the doorbell and

699
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 1: he said, hey, we're talking to the nigga. I'm sorry,

700
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. He No, it don't come out that easy

701
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: if you're not using it. And so I want I

702
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: want us to take that same reprogramming which I have

703
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 1: to do for myself, and now apply that to everything

704
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: else in terms of how we look at our community.

705
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,359
Speaker 1: When out to people to buy my book, say, look

706
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: it's availbout all these bookstores target Books, a million bars, Noble,

707
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: or called the black bookstore. See that's a state of mine.

708
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: Who you know what I want to get the book?

709
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm an order through a black bookstore. That's

710
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: black economics, that's practicing. And so it's a state of

711
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: being where we have to be in to now begin

712
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: to understand. Just like when I challenge people, Oh, if

713
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: I post something about Nick Cannon and Eddie Murphy on

714
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: my Instagram by thousand comments just they had ten kids here.

715
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: But if I did it for a reason, And I

716
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 1: came back and I said, why look at all these comments,

717
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: I said, But when I post about us accessing three

718
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty two billion, I said, oh, it's eighteen comments.

719
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: I said. Now let me ask y'allot question which one

720
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: has a greater impact on Black America access in three

721
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty two billion or Nick and Eddie's kids? Well,

722
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,720
Speaker 1: rolling no, no, no, no no, no, ask no, I ask yourself.

723
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:05,240
Speaker 1: The question which goes to what we give our energy

724
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: too is where our time and attention goes. I'm saying

725
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 1: we should be stepping I'm not saying we shouldn't have fun,

726
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: we can't talk about and joke about stuff. What I

727
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:20,720
Speaker 1: am saying is the amount of energy that we spend

728
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: on sheer bullshit. It's also what is affecting our community

729
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: in a negative way. And then we wonder why we

730
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: are broke. Because if we broke economically, we broke spiritually,

731
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,919
Speaker 1: we broke mentally. And that's what I'm trying to get

732
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: us to understand reprogram ourselves for the future. I agree

733
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: with you what you said about dan Ord too, because

734
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 1: like I never use it as a term of endemic.

735
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: I use it in the way that white supremacist us

736
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: and see I won't because I'm not a white supremacist

737
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to further their agenda. That's how powerful.

738
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,359
Speaker 1: See the reason I talked about, even when we talk

739
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 1: about these progressives and conservatives who are white, the power

740
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,919
Speaker 1: of white supremacy is so strong that it's it's it's

741
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 1: some nice white folks we know who say stuff and

742
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, I don't know how, yes you do,

743
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: because white supremacist also impacts you. It is, it is

744
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: a viewpoint. It is a state of state of consciousness,

745
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: and that's what we're dealing with. And so we have

746
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 1: to we have to be willing to challenge them and

747
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 1: say what you're gonna do? See stop, We've always had

748
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,919
Speaker 1: to save America, not white folks. Y'all gotta do some work.

749
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 1: That's why I said, y'all have got to put some

750
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: work in. You've got the challenge of one another to do. Right.

751
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: Can you tie that into affirmative action, which you also

752
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: discuss in White Fair Well, First of all, I'm gonna

753
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: call affirmtive action what it is the greatest economic engine

754
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: for white women, for white people. No group has benefited

755
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 1: more from affirmative action than white women, and so that's

756
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: also tied to it. White men figured that thing out right. MWBS.

757
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: When you get your certification to get these contracts with

758
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: this no, no, you said MWBE, it should be w

759
00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 1: MBE because if you look at any MWMW program, the

760
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: group that gets more money as women. I was at

761
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: the Black Caucus in Illinois had this thing up. It

762
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: was Dan Bryan contract. They invited black black media and

763
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: the Black Caucus. So we're sitting in the guys talking

764
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,439
Speaker 1: about women. Got this black scot did Latino. I said, question,

765
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: if you black women, which one of them categories you in?

766
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 1: He said, well you're in black. I said, well you Latino?

767
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: He said Latino hispan. I said, so that ducks should

768
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: be w W. I said, because all the women going

769
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,720
Speaker 1: to other categories, that's white women. And so I spoke

770
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: to the airport minority contractors and concessions folks in Dallas,

771
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: and I say white women. Last, I said, when I said,

772
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 1: when from actually on the attack? Where the hell y'all at?

773
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 1: So y'all quiet? How y'all getting more contracts than any

774
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: of us? How are you quiet? Say again, somebody has

775
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: to be willing to challenge them. And he had white

776
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: women who like, oh my god, I didn't realize that.

777
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:56,280
Speaker 1: I'm boy, how y'all didn't realize y'all are getting more?

778
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 1: And so that's what we're dealing with. Lasting we have

779
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 1: got we can't be afraid to say black. I'm in

780
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: a meeting. It was a charter school meeting at a

781
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,439
Speaker 1: national charter lines. They had the national conference. Thirty people

782
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: in the room. It's probably about twenty bean dollars in

783
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: the room. It's two black people in Latino. And so

784
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: we're sitting there talking and Latino guy goes, you know,

785
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: I keep hearing you talk about black I believe in inclusion.

786
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: What about Latinos? And my initial was called school choices?

787
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 1: The Black choice. I say, hey, Dot, you more than

788
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:28,760
Speaker 1: welcome to start school choice? Is the Latino choice rolling

789
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 1: here for black people? And I said to the room,

790
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,439
Speaker 1: y'all can't do nothing with the Black caucus. Y'all can't

791
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: even get a meeting with the Black Caucus. I got

792
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: nine alphas in Congress. I can call a frat meeting.

793
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: And they're sitting around. They were like, damn like I

794
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: came in guns blazing them. Mary Landry and former United

795
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,320
Speaker 1: States Center she raised the hand and she's like, um,

796
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:54,720
Speaker 1: as a forming you is sitting he right, we can't

797
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: do this other black caucus, I was. I walked into

798
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 1: the room starting with black. I don't say, how can

799
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: we helping already businesses? I say, I'm here for black people.

800
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 1: Now does it mean you can't have an MWB program?

801
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 1: But I am willing to advocate for us first. And

802
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,720
Speaker 1: so when we talk about a black owned media spin,

803
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 1: we tell everybody, don't send your chief Diversity officer. We're saying,

804
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 1: this is black owned media. You created category for black

805
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 1: owned media. You want to create one for Latinos and

806
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: for women and the LGBT. That's your business, but we're

807
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: gonna advocate this way. Ohn. Correct me if I'm wrong,

808
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,359
Speaker 1: cause I thought I saw you pushing back against that. Uh.

809
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: I thought on social media when they're asking about how

810
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 1: come there's not a black hate crime bill, like a

811
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: specific bill for yes, yes, because first, well, first of all,

812
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: that's a lie. Okay, you've actually had three Okay, the

813
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: first one was the first one was in the sixties,

814
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: and then you also have the James Bird. But the

815
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: because the point is when you talk about a law,

816
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: a how's the law applied? So, for instance, we celebrated

817
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: Title nine this year fifty anniversary where tip nine come

818
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: from vigion nineteen sixty four Civil Rights Act. Who far

819
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 1: for that? Black people voting? We know the ninety six

820
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: five Voting Rights Act was about black voting power. But

821
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 1: if you are Korean and the bows in your native language,

822
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 1: how is that so sixty five Voting Rights Act? And

823
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:32,320
Speaker 1: so there's a difference between advocating for black owned media

824
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,760
Speaker 1: with a company and then talking about a particular law.

825
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: The reality is how laws are applied, applied to all people.

826
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: So I guess. So when they do the anti Asian

827
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: or the Asian hate bill, dot say right, dot right there,

828
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: what you just said didn't exist. What's the bill called.

829
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: It's called the COVID nineteen Hate Crime Act. Oh, I

830
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 1: thought it was. No, it's not. No, it's not. No,

831
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,760
Speaker 1: it's not twee things. No, it's not. When when President

832
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: Biden tweets out, pull it up. Let me see, I

833
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 1: pull it up, right, pull it up. Here's what happened

834
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:15,359
Speaker 1: because of the increase in attacks against against Asians. That

835
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: was the impetus for the particular bill. So that in

836
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: the narrative in the beginning of the bill, it talks

837
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:24,879
Speaker 1: about what took place. Now let me show you something.

838
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 1: Hold up, Hold up, hold up, now, pull up. I

839
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 1: want you to pull up something. I want to say.

840
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: You're you're right. It is called the COVID nineteen Hate

841
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 1: Crime Zact. But look when NBC News, yes, when Vox

842
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 1: all these people posted, they call it, yes, the anti

843
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: Asian Hate Crime Bill passes anti Asian hate And they

844
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: were wrong because they didn't read the damn bill okay,

845
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:45,720
Speaker 1: because in in the narrative, they explain why the bill

846
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 1: was being done. Now, look up, look up Hate Crimes

847
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: Act and Black Churches. What you will discover Congress passed

848
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:58,240
Speaker 1: a bill that specifically targeted the attacks on the burning

849
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 1: of black churches. In the narrative, it explains why they're

850
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: passing the bill because of the burning of black churches.

851
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 1: Does get that bill apply only to the burning of

852
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: black churches. No, it applied to all religious institutions. So

853
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: whether you're talking about mosque, what are you're talking about synagogues,

854
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. See and again this is where media

855
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 1: absolutely should but also learn how to read. And that's

856
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 1: part of the deal. And so they run for the

857
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: bumper stick aversion and then look just like Newsweek wrot

858
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: that article. Oh, Biden, cut HBC, you funded about thirty

859
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: five billion, an absolute lie. Negroes reposted that. And here's

860
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 1: what pisses me off. All these black folks reposted the

861
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 1: Newsweek article. Yet when we were doing their actual story

862
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 1: on Rolling Martin, unfiltered, Negroes weren't reposting that. So again,

863
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:59,320
Speaker 1: going back, we see something in white media and go, oh,

864
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 1: there it is got to be true. Versus going hold up.

865
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 1: See that's what I do. I saw as through that

866
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 1: I went cut thirty five billion. Can you explain to me,

867
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:14,840
Speaker 1: I'm reading this story, y'all cut thirty five No, you

868
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 1: didn't cut third Okay, send me the data so I

869
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 1: can understand that. So what did I do? I called

870
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 1: Corson Boby Scott. Why Cornson, Bobby Scott Virginia because he

871
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:25,800
Speaker 1: sits on the subcommittee when it comes to the funding.

872
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,720
Speaker 1: I called Cornston, Jim Clyburn. I hit all these black

873
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: these black these so called black media folk who ran

874
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:34,439
Speaker 1: with that damned story, who didn't bother to actually call

875
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 1: a black member of Congress to verify the story? They

876
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: saw it in white media. It was wrong. That happens

877
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: all the time. So then what happens Black folks were

878
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 1: circulating that thing. See see Biden folks, they screwed up.

879
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 1: They cut thirty five active, and I'm like, it wasn't

880
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: even true. You got all riled up because something that

881
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 1: white media published that was fundamentally flawed NBC media. Democratic

882
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: Party fuels off that because they'll put out things that

883
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:04,320
Speaker 1: We passed the LGBTQ Hate Crime Bill, and we passed

884
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: the anti Asian Hate Crime Bill. So these are are

885
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 1: elected officials who people trust. And when I'm see your point,

886
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 1: everybody may not read deeper than that tweet and what

887
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying it, which is also why I'm sending the

888
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: black people who you're gonna listen to, who you're gonna watch,

889
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: who you're gonna read. That's why I challenge black media

890
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: to actually do the work and pick the phone up

891
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 1: and don't just rewrite something you saw in the New

892
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:27,280
Speaker 1: York Post or the Washington Post on the New York Times.

893
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: It happens way too often. That's when I look folks

894
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,760
Speaker 1: at at Shade Room and the Grio and the Route

895
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: and Black Enterprise. They've all gotten mad it because I've

896
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 1: called them out on some bs. I'm sorry. I operate

897
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: by facts. We have this question to that point, if

898
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: they do pass these bills, which is true, why they

899
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 1: don't ever say this is a bill for black people?

900
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: Then what they mean? Why they don't ever say it

901
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: like they say they'll they're quick to say this is

902
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: an LGBTQ crime. Go back, go back and look at

903
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: the coverage when they passed when they passed the bill

904
00:50:57,160 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 1: that with black churches, that's the case. It was, it was,

905
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: it was it was in uh late in his early nineties.

906
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 1: See so again, when people say we've never had one,

907
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,359
Speaker 1: not true. See again, folks love to throw it out

908
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 1: and and and and that. I don't think they're quick

909
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: to stand by blackness the way they all everything else. Well,

910
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:16,759
Speaker 1: but here's the deal, though, it's happened. If you go

911
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: look at the cover of a six Rights Act and

912
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 1: the Photo Rights Act, that's all you saw. But this

913
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: was a different time though. Okay, I'm sorry that was

914
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: a different time. No no no, no, no, no, no, no no.

915
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: If somebody says we've never had what does that mean? True? No,

916
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: what does it mean? It's never happened. So when you

917
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: actually provide the fact, well it did happen, the response

918
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: can't be without a long time ago. Well, I mean,

919
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just trying to see both sidcers. You

920
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 1: can see both side out there, because you can see

921
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 1: how people will be offended for show me a both

922
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: side of it's never happened. True. But for example, somebody

923
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 1: like the Vice President, they ask her a simple question,

924
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: because racism exists in America, she can't answer that. But

925
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 1: if you ask her about it, any other. Uh community,

926
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: that's experience and hate. Quick to jump on that. Here's

927
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 1: my car. Okay, now go deeper than us own hot dog.

928
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:07,799
Speaker 1: Why because she's afraid to turn off white voters. What

929
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 1: did I say about the last election? M m okay,

930
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: what would the total voter turnout? It was seventy one

931
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:20,280
Speaker 1: or seventy three percent. So it's it's all politics, it's identity.

932
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:22,840
Speaker 1: Some people will say that the average person say that

933
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 1: bullshit bulls. Yeah, I would also say it was bullshit

934
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:28,359
Speaker 1: to there was black person. When you have your three

935
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,919
Speaker 1: largest locations in Louisiana and the highs to thirty six

936
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 1: percent black turnout, here's a whole deal, black people. If

937
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: you're maximizing your voter turnout, if you're not voting at

938
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: forty five percent of your capacity, if you're voting at

939
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 1: seventy five five percent, then guess what. Your vote now

940
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,799
Speaker 1: actually has more power Now the number actually goes down,

941
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 1: and so it all goes together. I understand folks who

942
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 1: say I want to hear black I want to hear

943
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 1: specifically talk about that. I want to hear something that's

944
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:57,320
Speaker 1: specifically black people. But again, like perfect example, Treasure department. Uh,

945
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 1: she Freedman celebration. She's vice president. Hairs is laying out

946
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 1: talking about fifteen billion dollars is being spent on community

947
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 1: development of banks. Things on those lines, who what what what? What? What?

948
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:12,399
Speaker 1: A community developing bank banks largely in black neighborhoods. Now,

949
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:16,319
Speaker 1: people say, but I want to hear specifics. You do

950
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 1: your specifics. It's even in there as well. Oh but

951
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,400
Speaker 1: I only want to hear black. You can't only hear

952
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 1: black because you can't. So you're not mad at that

953
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 1: because you so eat it playing the game. No, no, no,

954
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: here's o'deal when you say LGBT, is it only me

955
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 1: white people who came? Who's that a mean? That's like

956
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 1: affirmative action. No no no, no no no no no no

957
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: no no. Majority that stuffs white people more than black

958
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 1: everything in America. My god, did not just say I

959
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 1: get you a no no. We started and I'm like, well,

960
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: what's the point, But we started it off. Everything a

961
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 1: majority benefits white people. Why because they're in the majority.

962
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 1: Show me anything that's not going to largely benefited white

963
00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:00,959
Speaker 1: people when numerically they have the numbers, and so why

964
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:05,400
Speaker 1: aren't they afraid two three? Because they're losing the numbers.

965
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 1: I still don't see how we win them. We win

966
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: when we first, We win voting wise, when we vote,

967
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 1: you see the phrase punch above your weight. We can't

968
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 1: vote the way they vote. We have to be voting easy.

969
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: Andrew gillim is Governor of Florida. If Broward County goes

970
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 1: from fifty seven total turnout to sixty five, Miami Dade

971
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: goes from fifty four to sixty five, how are the

972
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 1: red counties voting seventy seventy five percent? You can't win

973
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 1: in the fifties. Black people have to maximize numbers. This

974
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:52,360
Speaker 1: is simple. Five hundred thousand eligible black people, three hundred

975
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 1: thousand of the five hundred thousand are registered, one hundred

976
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand of the three hundred thousand who are registered,

977
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 1: and one hundred and fifty thousand five hundred thousand who

978
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 1: are eligible actually vote. That means one hundred and fifty

979
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 1: thousand Black people voted. Three hundred and fifty thousand black

980
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: people didn't vote. Your candidate loses by ten thousand votes. Well,

981
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 1: then we have to equip vote suppression into that too.

982
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 1: You can equate that, but hell, you had poll taxes.

983
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:22,359
Speaker 1: Look We've always had to jump over hurdles. The point

984
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: I'm making is we have to say, y'all throw up,

985
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 1: throw up any hurdle, which also be in our story.

986
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna jump over that damn hurdle. We've done that.

987
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 1: But I'm showing you real numbers. Charity Beasley's running for

988
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 1: North Carolina now to stay Senate right now, Okay, she

989
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 1: should be the chief Justice of the Supreme Court North Carolina,

990
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 1: she asked by four hundred votes. Four undred votes. I'm

991
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:49,800
Speaker 1: what I'm laying out is, how do you maximize your power?

992
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 1: You can't holler we want this, this, this. If you're

993
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: not maximizing your power, how do you have sixty seven

994
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 1: percent of black people living in Ferguson, Missouri and it

995
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 1: wasn't until Michael Brown's death that they were able to

996
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: get a black mayor sixty seven percent. How that's not

997
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 1: maximizing your numbers. So what I'm saying it changes when

998
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 1: we then recognize and walk in our power. I think

999
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 1: sometimes that's an insult to the people who actually do

1000
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:30,360
Speaker 1: go out there vote because every election the scenes, we

1001
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 1: always go out there and voting record number no, no, no, no.

1002
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:37,800
Speaker 1: In presidential election. No, no no, no, But the fine record numbers,

1003
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:44,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. A record number means it's more voted

1004
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:49,239
Speaker 1: this time than last time. That's all you can ask. No,

1005
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 1: I don't look at did more vote? I look at

1006
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: what's the percentage of eligibility? If if four of us

1007
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 1: sitting right here, none of us voted last year, envy

1008
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 1: votes next year. Oh my goodness, that was record numbers.

1009
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 1: Three of us didn't vote. What happens if it's none

1010
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 1: of us voted last year, all four of us voted

1011
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 1: this year, it's a higher record and it's a higher

1012
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 1: vote participation. I'm saying our vote can actually change outcomes

1013
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 1: you've had. Wh we get credit for ruling? No, no, no,

1014
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 1: we get we get credit because we have. We have

1015
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 1: withstood everything they have thrown at us, and we're still standing.

1016
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: How do you get people to vote? That's my question absolutely,

1017
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 1: because I do feel like we talk about it all

1018
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 1: the time. Get out there and vote, Make sure your

1019
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 1: registers to vote. This is where you get the information.

1020
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:55,920
Speaker 1: And it's still not enough people, because that's approaching it

1021
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 1: without any information. First, we have to walk volk through.

1022
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 1: We gotta go back to freedom schools, which took place

1023
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 1: in the period after after the Civil War, which took

1024
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:07,959
Speaker 1: place during Jim Crowe. Because it's a lot of folks

1025
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 1: really have no clue. I use my show as like

1026
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: Schoolhouse Rock two point er, walking people through talking about

1027
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:19,440
Speaker 1: the anti Asian Bill. I literally showed the bill, y'all,

1028
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 1: this is the bill that ain't the name. Here's the

1029
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: whole deal. When they were like, oh, that first same thing,

1030
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 1: all these fools. I got my information from Trump. Don't

1031
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 1: give us five hundred billions in contracts. You know, the

1032
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 1: entire federal government only spends five hundred and sixty billion,

1033
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 1: So how he gonna give us five hundred billion or

1034
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:43,959
Speaker 1: the five hundred and sixty billion. See again, it's folk

1035
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 1: falling for the height. So we've got to be able

1036
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 1: to have our outlets that of walking us through, but

1037
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 1: it's walking me through the issues. When people come to

1038
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 1: me and say I had a sister, it's twenty sixteen,

1039
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 1: she's like, I don't like Hillary, I can't stand Trump's

1040
00:58:57,560 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna focus on my state. I say, where

1041
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 1: you're from, sitting northline, I said, name me your top

1042
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 1: three issues. She named the top three issues, and all

1043
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 1: three of her issues were tied directly back to who

1044
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 1: was hitting the White House. She was like, oh, now,

1045
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 1: mind you, she was an activist. This was an informed,

1046
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: so call informed voter. So I had to walk her

1047
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 1: through that. We have to spend more time walking people

1048
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 1: through and ask them what do you care about? When

1049
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 1: people stop me on the street, on the plane, they say, man,

1050
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 1: you know I want to do something, or or this

1051
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 1: ain't working. I say, okay, what's your top issue? Then

1052
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 1: I go what do you mean? I said, what's the

1053
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 1: top thing you care about? And then when they do,

1054
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:37,960
Speaker 1: I then begin to walk them through, Okay, well this

1055
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 1: has happening, This is happening. That's how we have to

1056
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 1: do it. We literally don't have enough voter education. Once,

1057
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 1: if I inform you now you're like, well damn not

1058
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 1: where what's going on? Now? I can move to getting

1059
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 1: your registered. And then when I get you registered, I

1060
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 1: still I get you to the polls. Yeah, I got

1061
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 1: a transportation plan. Okay, So it's just now, this, this

1062
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 1: is this is probably the most important piece. Once the

1063
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 1: election is over, Now, what do we do? A lot

1064
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 1: of us go all right, we're good. No no no

1065
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 1: no no no no no no no. That's the end

1066
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 1: of one process the beginning of another. See, you can't

1067
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 1: have all the people hollow tangibles tangibles. How many of

1068
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 1: y'allre showing up when elections is over? So who's going

1069
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 1: to schoolboard meeting? Kind of commissions meeting, state legislature, congress?

1070
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:26,120
Speaker 1: How are you advocating? What groups here doing? So you

1071
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 1: say you want tangibles, and if I don't get tangibles,

1072
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna vote. Okay, you don't actually get tangibles

1073
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 1: before the election. You get promises. You then have to

1074
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 1: then force them to adhere to the promise they made

1075
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 1: during the campaign. Well, how do you do that? You

1076
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 1: have to show up. You've got to be willing to,

1077
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 1: like black voters matter, locking yourselves to the White House

1078
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 1: gate to get their attention. If they are not listening,

1079
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 1: and then you can't say no, you know, we know

1080
01:00:56,200 --> 01:01:00,400
Speaker 1: we shouldn't protest Biden. Harriss. No, if you ain't doing right, then,

1081
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 1: if you're not advocating for me, then I gotta use

1082
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 1: whatever I have to let you know I'm not playing

1083
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:10,440
Speaker 1: LGBT people. Twenty ten, Obomba was moving on, don't ask,

1084
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 1: don't tell. They were like, all right, close them checkbooks.

1085
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 1: They lost that mere terms. What happened in December they

1086
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 1: passed that damn bill. Say again, leverage. Our leverage is

1087
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 1: not necessarily resources, but it is when it comes to voting.

1088
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 1: But we have to be willing. And then people say, well,

1089
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 1: ce rolling, that's what I'm saying. You saying, don't vote,

1090
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 1: no fool, I'm saying, don't vote for the person who's

1091
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 1: not now following in your interests. Run somebody against them

1092
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 1: in the primary and then replace them. That's what I'm saying.

1093
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:42,000
Speaker 1: And get and then if your person loses in the primary,

1094
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 1: then you gotta do. Let the Republicans do. They sit

1095
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 1: here and say, I'm gonna still vote for this person

1096
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:48,720
Speaker 1: because about power. But it's like I'm gonna put that

1097
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:51,600
Speaker 1: heat on your ass and you're gonna feel it every

1098
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 1: single day. Which is why I for years I've challenged

1099
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 1: my fratern to Alpha Fi Alpha and All D nine

1100
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 1: and Prince Hall Mason's and Eastern Star in the links,

1101
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 1: how we have all of this black organizational power and

1102
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:07,520
Speaker 1: we're not sitting here walking in if two hundred black

1103
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 1: women in pink and green just all of a sudden

1104
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:11,919
Speaker 1: show up at the school board meeting. This is gonna happen.

1105
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:15,919
Speaker 1: They're gonna be like who in the hill or these

1106
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 1: two hundred black women, And then the next month they

1107
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 1: see black and gold, then purple and gold, then red

1108
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 1: and white, and all of a sudden they keep saying it.

1109
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 1: Now it's gonna be well, what do we need to

1110
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 1: do so they can stop showing up. That's leveraging your power.

1111
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 1: We have untapped power when it comes to voting, and

1112
01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:37,000
Speaker 1: guess what when you show up there when it comes

1113
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 1: to I'm not to the school board meeting, i ain't

1114
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 1: talking about this curriculum. I'm talking about contracts. I'm talking

1115
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 1: about bond election. I'm talking about black businesses. Now becomes economic.

1116
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 1: But we're gonna leverage the power. But we have to

1117
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 1: educate people on this is the issue, this is the truth,

1118
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: This is the whole deal. And when they have the

1119
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 1: information now it's kind of like, oh I was told this,

1120
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 1: We'll stop listening to the food. Who told you live?

1121
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 1: I got a couple of questions. I know you gotta go,

1122
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:06,120
Speaker 1: but I agree with everything you just said. But don't

1123
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 1: you think the other part of that is sometimes these

1124
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 1: candidates have to stop volunteering lies, meaning they talk about

1125
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 1: things that they know they cannot get done. They don't

1126
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 1: tell the whole story as politics. Yeah, but but remember potential.

1127
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 1: Remember politics is about making promises. But what did President FRANKL.

1128
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 1: Delon Roosevelt till a Philip Randolph when Randolph was pressing him?

1129
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 1: He said, Philip, everything you said is correct. Now God

1130
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:40,920
Speaker 1: make me do. And what did he do when he

1131
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:43,919
Speaker 1: threatened that march on Washington? He sat in an executive order.

1132
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 1: Our history? When when? When? When? When? When? He said? Look,

1133
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 1: he said, Martin, I can't remember the original civil rights

1134
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:55,200
Speaker 1: bill had all three of those beagles in the one bill.

1135
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 1: He said, well, we're gonna have to get He said, well,

1136
01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 1: I don't have a power that We're gonna have to

1137
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 1: go out and give you some power using that too

1138
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:05,440
Speaker 1: many of us are just laying back. I don't know

1139
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 1: right now. Tennessee has stated they have grossly underfunded Tennessee

1140
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 1: State to the tune of five hundred million. I've asked

1141
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:15,280
Speaker 1: the question I had Reverend Jeff Carr on my show.

1142
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 1: I said, who is mobilizing in Tennessee and what national

1143
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:22,160
Speaker 1: civil rights leaders are mobilizing to say we're gonna go

1144
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:24,800
Speaker 1: into Tennessee on this day, and we're going to mobilize

1145
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 1: to move them to get that five hundred million dollars

1146
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 1: Tennessee state. Okay, it was a thirteen year lawsuit to

1147
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:32,840
Speaker 1: get the five hundred and seventy seven million settlement for Maryland.

1148
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 1: Alvin Chandlers did the settlement down in Mississippi. You've had

1149
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 1: other See again we talk about man fund out with HBCUs. Okay,

1150
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 1: how are you going to make them do it? And

1151
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:47,320
Speaker 1: so that's what we also have to do. We got

1152
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:50,880
Speaker 1: to move our people to action. And unfortunately too many

1153
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:53,120
Speaker 1: or not. But that's why I challenged our organizations. I

1154
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 1: just did it at the CBC. I called out all

1155
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:58,360
Speaker 1: the frats and the sororities and challenged them and I said,

1156
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 1: stop being so focus on your internal business and be

1157
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 1: focused on the business of Black America. Doctor King said

1158
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 1: this here and where do we go from here? Chaosol community.

1159
01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 1: If you don't have that book, you should get. That

1160
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 1: book is one of the top three books. I got

1161
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:16,040
Speaker 1: more than thousand in my home. It is top three.

1162
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 1: You would think he wrote that book last year. He

1163
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:21,960
Speaker 1: said there are four institutions that are primed to liberate

1164
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 1: black America, the Negro Church, the Negro press, Negro fraternities

1165
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:28,919
Speaker 1: and sororities, and Negro professional and business organizations. He said,

1166
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 1: all of them had never fully committed themselves to the

1167
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 1: liberation of black people. What he's talking about is taking

1168
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:40,080
Speaker 1: organized power and leveraging it. So you talk about New

1169
01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 1: York Times bestseller lists, imagine if all of the DNA,

1170
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 1: how many copeents you take to the New York Time

1171
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: bestseller lists? But twenty five thousand, No, not that much

1172
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 1: depends on the week five thousand. So imagine if all

1173
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:57,600
Speaker 1: of the Divine nine Prince Hallmason's Eastern start in the

1174
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:01,919
Speaker 1: links said by a wife field this, go buy wife Feel,

1175
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 1: or next week go by Angel's book, next week by

1176
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:08,120
Speaker 1: your book, by VI's book, by Jamale Hill's book. Now

1177
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 1: of a set, you don't even need to be going

1178
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:14,120
Speaker 1: around to a ton of the book tours. We could

1179
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 1: literally place multiple books. That's organizing your power. That's why

1180
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 1: when people came in a minute like man, I don't

1181
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 1: know you, you you ain't gonna really ain't gonna do well

1182
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:27,120
Speaker 1: launching roller Martin unfilter, I said, don't worry about it.

1183
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 1: So here we are four years later, I launched last

1184
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 1: year Blackstar Network OTT. I'm launching a twenty four hours

1185
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:38,400
Speaker 1: streaming channel next month that I took my social media

Speaker 1: So I've done Alec Belshi. I don't know. MSNBC seems

1221
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 1: would happen? And then I found out it was him

1222
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 1: because he was pissed at me and Jake Tapper went

1223
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:21,519
Speaker 1: out of the day before on Twitter, and I'm like, dude,

1224
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:23,760
Speaker 1: he is CNN. You used to work at CNN. Why

1225
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:27,599
Speaker 1: are you tripping to MSNBC. Because during twenty fifteen, year

1226
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: after the election, Oh, all the shows were calling me,

1227

1229
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:38,680
Speaker 1: Stephanie Rule, all the weekday shows were calling me, and

1230
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:41,679
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, Wow, everything is shut down,

1231
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:43,880
Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, I said it, and he knew

1232
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 1: exactly what he did. Now, I've told other executives there

1233
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:50,080
Speaker 1: what the whole deal was the only time I told Rachida.

1234
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:52,040
Speaker 1: So the only time I look, I ain't gonna problem

1235
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:55,680
Speaker 1: it looked. The only time I get called now is

1236
01:08:55,960 --> 01:09:01,599
Speaker 1: Tiffany's show, Ali's show, Alice Witt. No day time shows none,

1237
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 1: no daytime shows, no prime time shows, none, even when

1238
01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:08,479
Speaker 1: I've had exclusives. So it is what it is. And

1239
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:10,640
Speaker 1: we know Fox News not gonna call because you know

1240
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 1: they can't handle this much blackness. It's my final question.

1241
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:15,400
Speaker 1: If you talk about white fear a lot, and we

1242
01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 1: know fear, is that the rule that every injustice? As

1243
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:19,960
Speaker 1: Reverend Barber says, but don't you think and then you've

1244
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:21,280
Speaker 1: been touching on it a little bit, but don't you

1245
01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:24,599
Speaker 1: think black people have a fear of demanding things from democrats? Oh?

1246
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:33,120
Speaker 1: I think that. I here's why some black people. But

1247
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:42,400
Speaker 1: remember when you make a demand, it also requires accountability. See.

1248
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:50,679
Speaker 1: I can demand something of Angela, you and Envy one time,

1249
01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:54,760
Speaker 1: but I got to follow up now after I say

1250
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 1: I need you to do this within what if you

1251
01:09:56,560 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 1: don't now what I do? A lot of people want

1252
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:03,800
Speaker 1: to yell Holly screen, but they don't want to follow up.

1253
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:07,439
Speaker 1: When When? When? When the Republicans were blocking Lerida Lynch,

1254
01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:09,519
Speaker 1: black women were Capital Hill every week? I was like, Yo,

1255
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:12,400
Speaker 1: what are brothers? What are brothers? I hate all these

1256
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 1: black males grow where y'all at? How this black woman

1257
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:18,599
Speaker 1: is getting screwed and the sisters are coming every week?

1258
01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:21,760
Speaker 1: Meet Jamal Bryant and Jeff John's black What the hell?

1259
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:23,840
Speaker 1: We organized? Two hundred black men were like literally like, yo,

1260
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 1: meet us in front of the fountain across from the

1261
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:29,759
Speaker 1: Capital and we're gonna go to Capital Hill. Two hundred

1262
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:34,519
Speaker 1: brothers showed up and rolled with us as accountability. We

1263
01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 1: didn't just say miss damn shame brothers. No, we said

1264
01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna do it. That's the deal. Because he now

1265
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:48,000
Speaker 1: that requires organization, mobilization, planning, it requires work. And then

1266
01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 1: people go, well, I shouldn't have to do all that.

1267
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:55,480
Speaker 1: I voted. Your opposition don't just vote. They mobilize, they organize,

1268
01:10:55,560 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 1: they raise money. And so we did. And so again,

1269
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:04,920
Speaker 1: if we want to see change in our cities, in

1270
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 1: our states, in this country, it is going to require

1271
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:11,760
Speaker 1: people to be accountable and do something. My mom and

1272
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:14,559
Speaker 1: daddy were part of a civic club in Clinton Park

1273
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:18,120
Speaker 1: in Houston, Texas. So people that understand I think this

1274
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:20,840
Speaker 1: way because I saw two people who never went to

1275
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:23,559
Speaker 1: college get with a few neighbors and they say, we

1276
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:25,240
Speaker 1: want to do this and this and this. We want

1277
01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 1: some new streets as new sidewalks and new some lights,

1278
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:29,799
Speaker 1: and take these crack houses down and take these abandoned

1279
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:33,920
Speaker 1: lots down. They organize people like man that ain't gonna work,

1280
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:36,920
Speaker 1: y'all gonna fail. That's also biblical. Go read Nea might

1281
01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:39,080
Speaker 1: have the two three and four he saw to reap

1282
01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 1: the wall Jerusalem had crumble. He said, we need to

1283
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:43,719
Speaker 1: rebuild the wall. But go read the scripture. It says

1284
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:49,439
Speaker 1: the people said, let us rebuild. Our problem is we

1285
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:55,240
Speaker 1: have black generals. We ain't got enough black troops. We've

1286
01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:58,800
Speaker 1: got people like Tamika, Untell, Freedom and Linda. We've got

1287
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:01,839
Speaker 1: a folk over here with different Black Lives Matter chapters.

1288
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 1: You've got other order people out there who are doing

1289
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 1: the work. They need folks to stand with them and

1290
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:11,160
Speaker 1: show up as opposed to Well, they got it. No,

1291
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:15,880
Speaker 1: this is how you rebuild. This is how you actually fight.

1292
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:18,960
Speaker 1: But that's the accountability part. A lot of folks man

1293
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:20,800
Speaker 1: just want to sit back and want somebody else to

1294
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 1: do over THEMN work. That's what they want. And I'm

1295
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 1: saying it can't happen when I'm out here fighting for

1296
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 1: black on media, I'm saying everybody can eat. I'm not.

1297
01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:33,560
Speaker 1: Disney can't get all three twenty two billions now they can't.

1298
01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:36,120
Speaker 1: I can't get all the black own money. So if

1299
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:38,040
Speaker 1: somebody asked me, they say, rolling, if you could get

1300
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:41,960
Speaker 1: five hundred million, or you and not others could get

1301
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:45,120
Speaker 1: fifty million each between you take I said, oh ten

1302
01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:47,320
Speaker 1: of us getting fifty They're like, what said, here's why?

1303
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:49,280
Speaker 1: Because he now, if we all go out, I ain't

1304
01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:54,200
Speaker 1: gonna pay because we all get to and if ten

1305
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:59,080
Speaker 1: of us got fifty million, that means ten families, ten

1306
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:03,880
Speaker 1: multiplena raise sins now have it versus one person having

1307
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:06,519
Speaker 1: the wealth. That's the collector that King talked about on

1308
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:10,320
Speaker 1: April third, nineteen sixty eight. He said, Black people individually

1309
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:14,280
Speaker 1: are poor, but collectively we are one of the richest

1310
01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:20,800
Speaker 1: nations in the world. If black people practice collective work,

1311
01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:24,280
Speaker 1: he said, we can change. But it's the work part.

1312
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:28,439
Speaker 1: That's why they're scared, because it's accountability for a white fair.

1313
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 1: Pick it up right now, Roland Martin, we appreciate you.

1314
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 1: That's called bringing the funk. That's what he called doc.

1315
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 1: This is what I this is what I do and

1316
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:37,120
Speaker 1: look and for the folks who I hid it, don't

1317
01:13:37,120 --> 01:14:00,400
Speaker 1: get mad because you messed up it.
