We're find of take all 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:15.680 the music at the stoves and no uniggas ain't got 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:18.400 no computer, so catch up, you know that kind of ship, 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:20.840 all the mom and pops go on. Now you know 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.960 what I'm saying, Like, it's just wow, man, It's like 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:27.680 every time you get to that point, it's another point 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:33.800 to be reached. But you know what the other side 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:37.080 to that coin is, just like if we were both 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:42.120 playing on a A wop side of basketball, go we 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.120 both got to make the ball go through that hole. 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:52.520 So just like the voters, uh Democratic voters who upset 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.000 with with them, you know, trying to change the rules 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.400 and all of that stuff and make it harder, trying 0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:00.719 to suppress the votes or whatever, just like they have 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:04.240 to send in that long line, just like they have 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:08.560 to go through that process of hitting one each button 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:12.000 one at a time. Republicans and everybody else have to 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:16.760 go through the same thing. So and and so so 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:21.560 I think I think that, um, you're not putting a 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:24.640 Democratic Republican on this ship under Well, true, we have 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:26.440 to go through the same ship man, But I think 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:31.120 that some people have more time and more patience than others. Yeah, 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:36.640 and the point that yeah and so and so too much. 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.280 As given much is required and you're giving that vote, 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:43.800 then they're gonna require more for that vote. Then that's 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:46.040 what it is. If they want more for the vote, 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.640 then everybody as long as everybody has to meet those 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:52.840 same requirements, it is what it is. And you know, 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.600 if if you think that your vote matters that much, 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:59.960 if you value the vote value, if you value the 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:04.280 process that much, if you value the political process and 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:07.840 democracy that much, then you just deal with it. I 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:21.680 value value the political process. But sometimes it feels like we, 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.480 well I can't say we as Democrats or we as 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:31.600 whatever we are, are dumb as fish.

We were we wanted to get 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:27.079 out of this ship. And for the most part that 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:32.199 was a certain unwritten code. Certain chips you just don't do. 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:36.280 Certain people don't go.

And why 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.240 is why is it that the trip part about it 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:45.800 that statement that you made, is that some people wear 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:48.640 that like that statement like a badge of honor. Man, 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:50.400 we young mean, we don't, we don't give a fuck. 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.560 Were young man. It's young side. I know that's your thing. 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:55.640 But man, but but we aso man, we don't give 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:59.320 a fuck. What why is that view to some people 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.600 by something people as ad some type of badge of honor. 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:09.160 I remember speaking to a group once at at an 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:13.760 alternative school, and it's a school where they take the kids, 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:17.640 where they send the kids or supposedly bad the bad kids. 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:23.680 Right trying to speaking to these kids, and I asked them, 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:29.840 how many people in here see themselves? I mean, what 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:31.600 do you see yourself? That's what I said, What do 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.440 you see to see yourselves in ten years? I want 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:36.880 you to ask that question, answer that question. And one 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:42.320 at a time they raise their hands and and they 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:47.640 gave the answer like I don't I had Like that 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.360 was maybe it was a room or maybe twenty five kids, 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:56.080 and probably maybe two kids saw themselves in twenty years, 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.560 you know, their future, and twenty years like like how 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:01.480 to night dear? What what they wanted to do in 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:06.480 twenty years? And what I say about that is, if 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:09.600 you can't see yourself in the future, you're probably not 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:13.600 going to be in the future, damn. Like you have 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:23.240 to envision yourself alive and well and doing things, being constructive, 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:27.480 having a family. You know, like where you're gonna live, 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:29.320 you know, like what kind of career you're gonna have. 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:31.440 You gotta have an idea of that. At least you 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.040 have to at least say to yourself, this is what 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:35.800 I want out of life. But to just wake up 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:39.360 every day aimlessly, not not having any kind of plans, 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:42.520 no idea, whatever you want to do, put that very dangerous. 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:47.040 I put the blame on us, the parents. You know why. Yeah, 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:51.040 because the first thing that we say is I don't 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:52.480 want my kids had to go through what I went 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:56.600 through growing up and and and looking back on the ship. 0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:01.040 We may have babied them to to a certain extent, 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:05.040 to to where that we you know, to any film privilege, 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.159 that's true. But most I do believe most of the 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:12.280 kids that's doing the killing, really taking part in all 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:14.520 of the violence and the robberish and ship like that, 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:16.960 these are kids that have been neglected. These are not 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:19.960 kids that were protected. These are kids who have been neglected, 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:23.280 who have been abandoned. Uh. You know, kids who was 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:27.200 raised by their grandparents, mom and jail dad and jail 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:30.560 dead whatever. These are kids that have been neglected. You 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:34.920 know that were discarded basically by society, not just parents, 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:39.000 not just their parents, but also society at large. Look 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:42.000 at the school system. You know, the school system is 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:46.080 really a baby, you know, it's it's like a nursery. 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:50.160 It's really not dad to really like when these kids 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:52.159 coming to school, to school is not yet you're come 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:54.159 on in, We're gonna make you great. You come on in, 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:56.959 We're gonna we're gonna hone your skills and your your 0:17:57.000 --> 0:18:01.240 life skills and show you how to become productive, if good, 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:04.320 you know, law abiding citizens or whatever. You know. I 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:08.119 know that's not totally the school's responsibility, but the kids 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:10.920 spend you know, seven eight hours a day in these schools, 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:14.440 and so they gotta be they gotta be taught real 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:19.520 life skills, not just stuff to not just stuff to 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:21.720 get by and make the time go by and just 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:24.440 to make them just seem like they're smart or whatever. 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:28.159 They gotta be taught real life skills. Why is it 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:32.239 that these kids are not being taught uh, entrepreneurship. Why 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:34.920 are they not being taught trades? They were being taught 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:36.879 trades at one point and they took them out of 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.520 the schools. Why not? Why are they not being taught 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:42.679 about credit? Why not? Why are they not being taught 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:48.000 conflict resolution? That's more important than fucking science. That's more. 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:50.680 That's more important in science, that's more. That's that's more 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:55.840 important than um um, you know, biology and all that 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:58.240 ship you're not gonna use, you're not. I was having 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:02.200 a conversation with somebody um the other day, and we 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:06.080 was talking about everything that we needed, what we needed 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:09.320 from school. You know what did we actually take from 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:12.960 school that we used today? And I was like, ship, 0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:16.399 I mean, I take counting. I took counting from school. 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:22.359 I took reading, um, vocabulary, language usage, and ship like that. 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:26.080 But but in the history, I know my history. But imagine, 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:31.200 I mean, what what what can you do with history 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:33.520 besides just know it. I was about to say, you 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:37.080 don't need history to to to like make it in 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:40.359 the world, Like you don't need to know history. But 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:44.240 what you what you do need to know is mathematic 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:46.119 And I know somebody screaming right now, you know, you 0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:47.680 know you don't know history, don't know where you came from, 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:49.720 you don't know, you know, you don't need to know 0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:53.639 who the hell Frederick Douglas is are Andrew Jackson is 0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:57.600 to to to actually make it through through a day 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:01.000 in in this society. You don't need to know that. 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:04.159 What what you do need to know is understand is 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:08.199 how to read. You need to know mathematics, you need 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:11.600 you need to know, you need to know um uh, 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:13.919 you need to be able to know how to communicate 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:18.560 effectively and and but you also need to know conflict 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:22.280 resolution skills. See, that's one of the biggest things you 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:24.920 don't know you need to see, man C C C. 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:30.000 I'm just saying, but I don't need to be speaking 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:32.679 on it if I don't know about it now. Just 0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:35.960 because I know conflict resolution, don't mean that you know 0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:37.879 I'm gonna do the right thing all the time. But 0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:41.000 I understand conflict resolution. You don't get to be fifty 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:45.400 six being a damn food you see what I'm saying.

You know, that's 0:26:53.160 --> 0:26:55.960 that's that's a that's a Cheerry on top moment. I'm 0:26:55.960 --> 0:26:58.320 going to produce a record for him and write a 0:26:58.359 --> 0:27:03.000 record for him, and um let y'all let him, let 0:27:03.080 --> 0:27:05.600 him streaming and just just donate all of the proceeds 0:27:05.680 --> 0:27:08.439 to whatever foundation he wants to donated to. But he 0:27:08.480 --> 0:27:11.160 deserves to have a song, and we need somebody really 0:27:11.200 --> 0:27:14.600 funny to write it, like Devon or somebody like somebody 0:27:14.600 --> 0:27:18.680 that's really, really, really funny.

He's the only person in 0:27:35.920 --> 0:27:39.720 the entire city of Houston who got booed at the parade. 0:27:40.400 --> 0:27:46.280 Nobody else, no other politician, no artists, no business person, 0:27:46.760 --> 0:27:53.439 no nobody got booed except him. Besides him. There was 0:27:53.600 --> 0:27:59.720 no problems at the parade period. Nobody likes this guy. 0:28:00.240 --> 0:28:03.479 In the hell does he get elected? I just believe 0:28:03.480 --> 0:28:08.960 that they gotta be. He's probably running in a section 0:28:09.160 --> 0:28:13.720 of the city that where he's accepted. You see what 0:28:13.760 --> 0:28:17.720 I'm saying. Like those congressmen and those senators, they are 0:28:17.480 --> 0:28:22.399 they they got small um blocks of in the city 0:28:22.440 --> 0:28:24.880 that they hold down you see what I'm saying. So 0:28:25.080 --> 0:28:30.080 maybe his block is down with his ship, yeo, because 0:28:30.080 --> 0:28:33.600 if he you know what, like if I ran against 0:28:33.640 --> 0:28:37.560 Ted Crews, I got in the race with him and 0:28:37.560 --> 0:28:40.160 and A and a and ran as an independent with 0:28:40.240 --> 0:28:44.760 him with a with a Democrat, you would run as 0:28:44.760 --> 0:28:47.880 an independent, I would just the fuck's vote up the 0:28:47.920 --> 0:28:53.720 Democrat and then yeah, it might suck the Democratic, but 0:28:53.760 --> 0:28:57.160 I really, he's not gonna he's not gonna affect him. 0:28:57.360 --> 0:28:59.479 I want to affect him. I might just run against 0:28:59.520 --> 0:29:02.960 him as a Democrat then just the fun. But then yeah, 0:29:03.000 --> 0:29:04.880 I gotta get us. You have to switch up. You 0:29:04.960 --> 0:29:12.200 have to run, you have to infiltrate the Republican boardy. 0:29:12.240 --> 0:29:15.960 I don't even look like a Republican man. Where you 0:29:16.000 --> 0:29:17.880 don't have to look like a Republican. All you got 0:29:17.920 --> 0:29:20.320 to do is sound like a Republican. I don't know. Well, 0:29:20.360 --> 0:29:25.400 I'm I don't look like a Republican like I'm I'm, I'm, 0:29:25.440 --> 0:29:31.760 but I'm not. Um. I have some conservative absolutely, yeah, 0:29:31.800 --> 0:29:34.160 I do. Well, we all do, if you want to 0:29:34.200 --> 0:29:35.960 be honest. Yeah, but I don't look I don't. I 0:29:35.960 --> 0:29:38.760 don't fit the description of a Republican man because I 0:29:38.760 --> 0:29:43.560 would not. I would not, I would not, so my 0:29:43.600 --> 0:29:50.200 mouth shut to watch your starff. You know why most 0:29:50.720 --> 0:30:01.520 black people don't vote Republican in my opinion, because these 0:30:02.720 --> 0:30:09.680 Nazi boys and Proud Boys and KKK, they're too comfortable 0:30:09.720 --> 0:30:12.640 in the Republican Party. And it's as simple as that. 0:30:12.960 --> 0:30:15.320 Because we got a lot of conservative views. We got 0:30:15.360 --> 0:30:17.960 a lot of conservative views, a lot you know, like, 0:30:19.000 --> 0:30:23.240 but when it comes to that piece right there, that's 0:30:23.280 --> 0:30:25.360 the piece that say, Yo, if they're in that party, 0:30:25.440 --> 0:30:26.960 I don't want to be in it, you know how. 0:30:28.640 --> 0:30:32.880 I don't agree with that. But you know how, sometimes 0:30:34.360 --> 0:30:37.080 you can hear about a party and it's going down 0:30:37.240 --> 0:30:39.400 and you find out somebody that you don't really mess with. 0:30:40.280 --> 0:30:44.800 I ain't going. I ain't going. I don't I don't 0:30:44.880 --> 0:30:47.640 care what y'all doing. I'm not going. Well, here's the thing, Willie, 0:30:47.680 --> 0:30:51.760 you gotta you gotta kind of pull that back because 0:30:52.240 --> 0:30:57.200 we we we we we we prayed to the you know, 0:30:57.240 --> 0:30:59.360 the same god. We believe in the same god as 0:30:59.400 --> 0:31:05.520 though is those Proud Boys and those we're telling Christians, 0:31:07.320 --> 0:31:09.000 you're gonna tell me, You're gonna tell me that they 0:31:09.040 --> 0:31:12.680 don't cleaning their guns and their Bibles they do. Okay, 0:31:12.760 --> 0:31:14.200 what do you mean if they don't believe in the 0:31:14.240 --> 0:31:18.360 same God, what the hell is it impossible? It's it's 0:31:18.360 --> 0:31:20.560 impossible to believe in the same God and have the 0:31:20.600 --> 0:31:22.680 type of this and the type of energy that they 0:31:22.680 --> 0:31:29.040 have for human beings. It's impossible. My God, that's done. Huh, 0:31:29.360 --> 0:31:33.680 they're doing it. Nah. Like I said, it's my opinion 0:31:34.080 --> 0:31:38.280 that they prayed to the devil, not God. That's my 0:31:38.280 --> 0:31:40.520 opinion for the devil, that the God that the devils 0:31:40.520 --> 0:31:43.040 got to be that God because of the stuff that 0:31:43.080 --> 0:31:47.120 they do to human beings, it got to be. Well, 0:31:48.440 --> 0:31:50.080 I know, we need to start changing advantage if I 0:31:50.120 --> 0:31:54.960 write the vote because they're shaving be gone. Hey man, 0:31:55.440 --> 0:31:59.760 you see them, you see all the seats leaving. Yeah, 0:32:00.440 --> 0:32:03.320 they did it to themselves though they had it. Man, 0:32:03.360 --> 0:32:07.960 they had to slam dunk. You know, they slammed dunk. 0:32:08.080 --> 0:32:10.360 I mean they had it, man, they had The Democrats 0:32:10.400 --> 0:32:14.720 had it. They had it, and again once again they 0:32:15.040 --> 0:32:20.320 they took the black boat for granted, and they got 0:32:20.320 --> 0:32:24.680 what they got. You know, they just they're just not 0:32:24.840 --> 0:32:30.160 built in my opinion. Uh, they're not built to last. 0:32:31.200 --> 0:32:33.440 They're just not built the last. Like me if I 0:32:33.440 --> 0:32:36.000 if I if I get on top, if I'm winning, 0:32:36.480 --> 0:32:40.760 I want to destroy my opponent. I am going to 0:32:40.880 --> 0:32:43.160 suck all of the life out of them. If I 0:32:43.240 --> 0:32:46.840 put my foot on their neck, I am going to 0:32:47.120 --> 0:32:50.959 keep it there until it snaps and they stopped moving. 0:32:52.080 --> 0:32:55.320 I'm not letting them off the hook at all. I'm 0:32:55.360 --> 0:32:59.560 not gonna relax. And the Democrats, when they get what 0:32:59.600 --> 0:33:02.320 they want, they start relaxing and think it's all good. 0:33:02.320 --> 0:33:07.440 And not just the the the elected officials, but their 0:33:07.480 --> 0:33:11.160 constituents also. They just relaxed. That's that's why they don't 0:33:11.200 --> 0:33:14.440 have any follow through. There's no follow through, so that's 0:33:14.440 --> 0:33:18.040 no self accounting, that's no accountability. They think that as 0:33:18.080 --> 0:33:20.800 soon as I when I vote, that's it. When I vote, 0:33:21.000 --> 0:33:24.400 my vote is so powerful that all I gotta do 0:33:24.520 --> 0:33:26.800 is vote, and things are gonna go my way. And 0:33:26.840 --> 0:33:29.120 then when things don't go that way, they get discouraged 0:33:30.240 --> 0:33:31.600 and they don't they don't want to vote at all. 0:33:31.760 --> 0:33:36.080 They go and just jump ship. But what those Republicans do, Oh, 0:33:36.120 --> 0:33:38.400 it didn't happen this time. We're going harder next time. 0:33:38.840 --> 0:33:41.480 We're gonna go harder next time. But the biggest thing 0:33:41.520 --> 0:33:45.320 that they do is hold their elected officials accountable. And 0:33:45.480 --> 0:33:48.560 the Democrats ain't got that in there they and when 0:33:48.640 --> 0:33:51.120 when they do. When you do have Democrats who try 0:33:51.200 --> 0:33:55.880 to hold elected officials accountable, the here come to gatekeepers 0:33:56.400 --> 0:33:58.880 telling you shut up, be quiet, I got this. I'm 0:33:58.920 --> 0:34:01.760 gonna talk to him. I got it. I'm representing us, 0:34:01.960 --> 0:34:09.160 I got it, and nothing gets done. Yeah. No. The 0:34:09.239 --> 0:34:11.200 one of the biggest that's one of the biggest problems 0:34:11.239 --> 0:34:16.400 with the Democratic Party is the the gatekeepers. The gatekeepers, 0:34:17.239 --> 0:34:18.960 they say, look, man, this is what we got, what 0:34:19.040 --> 0:34:21.040 was what we got going on, this is what we're doing, 0:34:21.520 --> 0:34:24.880 and I'm gonna take care of you. I need you 0:34:24.920 --> 0:34:29.279 to take care of them. Keep them in lighting. That's 0:34:29.280 --> 0:34:35.000 what's happening. Yeah, that's what's happening. Hey, did you hear 0:34:35.040 --> 0:34:37.680 about that? The story of the guy who shot the 0:34:37.760 --> 0:34:41.439 chick with the a K forty seven in Denver? Don't 0:34:41.520 --> 0:34:46.239 do what? So this girl was walking her name is uh, 0:34:47.160 --> 0:34:50.280 what's her name Isabella? I can't say, I can't remember 0:34:50.280 --> 0:34:55.040 her last name. But she was walking her dog with 0:34:55.120 --> 0:35:02.839 her boyfriend, dude named Darien. And this the neighbor uh 0:35:04.320 --> 0:35:08.960 he he uh took a fense to their dog. Taking 0:35:09.000 --> 0:35:14.680 up dump you know, near his apartment complex. And they 0:35:15.800 --> 0:35:18.200 he told her, you know, he yelled at her about it, 0:35:18.560 --> 0:35:20.960 and the chick told him, mind your business. Dude got 0:35:21.000 --> 0:35:24.040 an a K for the seven and dumped on him 0:35:24.040 --> 0:35:27.479 twenty five times, dumped on her and the dude and 0:35:27.760 --> 0:35:32.680 killed her. The dude survived, but this happened in but 0:35:32.920 --> 0:35:35.640 they just gave him a life sentence. It took him 0:35:35.680 --> 0:35:37.960 that long to get a life couple of years. You know, 0:35:39.200 --> 0:35:41.480 you gotta go through the trial phase and all that 0:35:41.560 --> 0:35:46.799 kind of stuff. But yeah, um, should they should? Well, yeah, 0:35:46.840 --> 0:35:52.480 that that's that's pretty fucked up. The guy that you 0:35:52.520 --> 0:35:54.279 heard about the way they got stabbed on the metro 0:35:54.400 --> 0:35:59.359 rail and and and and she died. Yeah, okay, well 0:35:59.440 --> 0:36:03.000 lady got apped on the metro reel and then later 0:36:03.239 --> 0:36:09.640 died from her injury injuries and Metro Houston. Yeah, on 0:36:09.719 --> 0:36:11.759 the Metro rel metro link or whatever that she does. 0:36:12.760 --> 0:36:15.359 And man, do you know that that was my best 0:36:15.400 --> 0:36:20.959 friend growing up? Yeah, m hmm, that was my best 0:36:21.000 --> 0:36:27.040 friend growing up. That was he did that? Uh when 0:36:27.080 --> 0:36:34.720 I saw his um mug shot and um him dressed 0:36:34.760 --> 0:36:36.600 in in in the county clothes or whatever. You know, 0:36:36.600 --> 0:36:38.880 how when they showed us the suspect on TV or 0:36:38.920 --> 0:36:41.920 some ship. You know what I thought to myself, Willie, 0:36:42.560 --> 0:36:44.759 I said, Man, that could have been me, like a motherfucker, 0:36:45.280 --> 0:36:50.040 because we was that tight. You know, we was that tight. 0:36:51.360 --> 0:36:55.919 We we we we we stole cause we smoked, read, 0:36:56.080 --> 0:36:59.600 we skipped school, we got drunk, we was we was 0:36:59.680 --> 0:37:06.120 there in my partner. But you'd be surprised. Man, what 0:37:06.120 --> 0:37:09.320 what what people will do? And what's the fund is 0:37:09.360 --> 0:37:12.439 going on in your mind when you're doing this ship? 0:37:12.480 --> 0:37:18.160 Why would you do this? You know? Um shot? Yeah, 0:37:18.239 --> 0:37:20.600 when's the last time you spoke to him? I just 0:37:20.640 --> 0:37:23.839 spoke to him on his birthday August to ten. And 0:37:23.920 --> 0:37:26.439 did he seem to have any type of mental issues? Oh? 0:37:26.480 --> 0:37:36.759 He's fucking batshit crazy, you know. But I don't know man. Yeah, 0:37:36.880 --> 0:37:40.480 but that yeah, funked it up. It's all bad. But 0:37:40.600 --> 0:37:43.239 we are in we living in the world Willie, where 0:37:43.320 --> 0:37:47.200 we really gotta be on guard. Do you remember that 0:37:47.320 --> 0:37:50.080 saying when them when them people, when the when the Musketeers, 0:37:50.080 --> 0:37:54.120 whether would jump over there? So guard, bro, we gotta 0:37:54.160 --> 0:38:00.200 be on guard because it's going down. You know. The 0:38:00.200 --> 0:38:05.160 trip part about it is that you've got some people 0:38:05.160 --> 0:38:07.880 who think that all they gotta do is lock folks 0:38:07.960 --> 0:38:14.239 up and they're gonna be safe. And they think that 0:38:14.600 --> 0:38:16.719 all I gotta do is get behind my gated community. 0:38:16.760 --> 0:38:23.000 And I'm good that happen. Yeah. Yeah. And the thing 0:38:23.040 --> 0:38:26.840 about it is that either you go out there and 0:38:26.920 --> 0:38:32.160 you're gonna encounter that, or they're gonna come in and 0:38:32.200 --> 0:38:34.359 there because they're kicking the indoors. Now, it don't matter 0:38:34.360 --> 0:38:36.480 if you live in a gated community. It slows down stuff. 0:38:36.880 --> 0:38:40.920 Don't get it wrong, but uh, it don't necessarily stop anything. 0:38:41.719 --> 0:38:46.160 And like Americans, I just really believe that, like everything 0:38:46.200 --> 0:38:48.400 starts at the top. Yeah, you can say it starts 0:38:48.400 --> 0:38:51.960 at home. But you know, the people at the top, 0:38:53.160 --> 0:38:55.000 they know what they're doing. They know what they did 0:38:55.080 --> 0:38:58.680 the wickedness, they know, they know what they are absolutely 0:38:58.760 --> 0:39:00.799 playing it. By the way, it was design. It's not 0:39:00.920 --> 0:39:04.520 by it's not by accident. It's by design. Man. Yeah. 0:39:04.719 --> 0:39:09.080 And to your point, you notice how when they really 0:39:09.160 --> 0:39:12.160 want the people to come together for a certain cause 0:39:12.239 --> 0:39:16.280 or whatever whatever it is, they can they're flat flood 0:39:16.320 --> 0:39:20.520 the you know, the gates with um news reports and 0:39:20.600 --> 0:39:23.759 people saying good things and showing all these acts of 0:39:24.200 --> 0:39:26.880 random acts of kindness and everything and everything, and then 0:39:26.880 --> 0:39:29.880 you feel this sense of community. You know, all of 0:39:29.920 --> 0:39:32.480 the stations doing the national stations and then then the 0:39:32.520 --> 0:39:35.240 local stations. You see that. You see it everywhere. People 0:39:35.280 --> 0:39:37.520 coming together seems to be it seems to be a 0:39:37.560 --> 0:39:41.239 calm right like, and everybody seems to be like they're 0:39:41.239 --> 0:39:45.080 coming together. And then next thing you know, bam bam, 0:39:45.400 --> 0:39:48.279 it's they're back at it again, and so they know 0:39:48.320 --> 0:39:52.640 what they're doing. The people at the top. Uh, leadership 0:39:52.800 --> 0:39:58.359 starts at the Toploted podcast will be right back after 0:39:58.400 --> 0:40:09.480 the street. You know what, Willie, puppet master never meant 0:40:09.680 --> 0:40:13.399 that word. Puppet master has never meant so much to me. 0:40:13.719 --> 0:40:16.960 Like it didn't mean as much to me back then 0:40:17.000 --> 0:40:22.520 as it does right now. Like Willie, we're being controlled 0:40:22.520 --> 0:40:27.279 by the puppet master. Bro, we're puppets. You know, you're 0:40:27.280 --> 0:40:29.640 looking look at the chain of command. Will you look 0:40:29.640 --> 0:40:32.920 at the chain of command? You know, look at the 0:40:32.960 --> 0:40:37.239 powers that be, and look who they control and look 0:40:37.239 --> 0:40:41.360 who like we we we got a fucking puppet master 0:40:41.960 --> 0:40:47.000 hanging hanging over the stage, pulling the strings and making 0:40:47.040 --> 0:40:50.680 people move.

Man. 0:42:18.320 --> 0:42:21.239 That what the means? That means may be coming by me, 0:42:21.360 --> 0:42:26.320 Brad that I didn't want to run for the offense, 0:42:26.680 --> 0:42:30.040 and I didn't want to run for the offense. And um, 0:42:30.360 --> 0:42:32.239 if I could run for the offense, I'll run for 0:42:32.280 --> 0:42:33.879 the offense. And then you got to be a man 0:42:34.600 --> 0:42:37.000 to be a man. Now, you can't be a woman 0:42:37.040 --> 0:42:40.840 to have a baby. If if, if you man, only 0:42:40.880 --> 0:42:44.279 a woman can have a baby. And because only a 0:42:44.360 --> 0:42:47.640 baby can come form a woman. And that's what y'all 0:42:47.680 --> 0:42:54.319 need to know now. Uh, I'm hershey walker, and I 0:42:54.320 --> 0:42:58.360 think I think I'm hush walking. I want to be 0:42:58.440 --> 0:43:08.400 y'all diner. I'd be like, hey manel dumb man. What 0:43:08.520 --> 0:43:13.200 the trip part about it is that under any other circumstance, 0:43:13.320 --> 0:43:17.920 the people that's voting for him would be like all 0:43:17.920 --> 0:43:25.600 over him, like this dumb it literate, slow football head ass. 0:43:26.360 --> 0:43:31.040 But but dumb enough, Willie, he's dumb enough to go 0:43:31.239 --> 0:43:35.320 with what they say. Yeah, like Clarence Thomas. But Clarence 0:43:35.360 --> 0:43:38.719 Thomas is just a little bit more educated. Well I 0:43:38.719 --> 0:43:45.320 guess a lot more at a lot more educated. But again, 0:43:45.760 --> 0:43:49.040 a puppet, A puppet, someone who can can be controlled. 0:43:49.040 --> 0:43:53.160 And he's only in that position because he's being controlled everybody. 0:43:53.680 --> 0:43:57.480 He was only that position because of appointment. He's been 0:43:57.480 --> 0:44:01.040 appoint He was appointed, Willie, he was appointed and that's 0:44:01.080 --> 0:44:06.680 what Busch appoint him. But he's not going never but 0:44:06.680 --> 0:44:10.239 he's not he's not gonna. He's not gonna get out 0:44:10.280 --> 0:44:16.040 of that seat until he died. And that's unfair. I 0:44:16.120 --> 0:44:19.879 think the cycle should run every four years. I think 0:44:19.920 --> 0:44:22.960 that should they should be elected, because man, you got something. 0:44:23.000 --> 0:44:27.040 You got somebody, Willie. You got somebody that is in 0:44:27.120 --> 0:44:38.800 control of your life and everything around you forever, m 0:44:40.160 --> 0:44:46.000 for wait for for there forever, you know, and then 0:44:46.680 --> 0:44:51.000 when they appoint somebody else for there forever to you 0:44:51.000 --> 0:44:54.040 know what I mean, like forever and the and that 0:44:54.200 --> 0:45:00.520 fucking cycle just keeps cycling, It keeps recycling forever, like 0:45:00.520 --> 0:45:05.640 I'm I'm sitting this fucking seat forever, my forever. Real, 0:45:06.080 --> 0:45:08.719 I ain't gotta do ship, but but but but ride 0:45:08.800 --> 0:45:15.200 with what what about saying I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm 0:45:15.239 --> 0:45:23.600 gonna uh review and look over uh roe v wade. 0:45:23.600 --> 0:45:27.080 I'm gonna overturn this ship. I'm gonna review and look 0:45:27.120 --> 0:45:30.480 over this affirmative action. I'm gonna I'm gonna overturn this ship. 0:45:31.080 --> 0:45:36.920 I'm gonna review and look over voting rights. I'm gonna 0:45:36.920 --> 0:45:40.920 overturn this ship. Wait a minute, you say black people 0:45:40.920 --> 0:45:45.879 are free, and then I'm gonna overturn that ship. You 0:45:45.880 --> 0:45:48.640 you don't. You gotta understand this, William. Don't forget this man. 0:45:48.719 --> 0:45:51.920 Everything that okay, Like when I say privilege, when I 0:45:51.960 --> 0:45:54.960 say white privilege, Like white people were born in this 0:45:55.080 --> 0:45:58.800 country with privilege. They could do any fucking thing they want. Listen, 0:45:59.200 --> 0:46:02.640 The only reason and that we can do ship is 0:46:02.680 --> 0:46:06.160 because the judge or a statue said that. Think about it. 0:46:07.440 --> 0:46:10.120 A judge said you can do that. A judge said 0:46:10.160 --> 0:46:13.600 you could do that. A statue said you can vote, 0:46:13.880 --> 0:46:17.960 a statue said you can go go sit in the restaurant. Uh, 0:46:18.120 --> 0:46:20.560 at the front of the fucking bus. A judge had 0:46:20.600 --> 0:46:24.239 to give you that right, bro. Everybody else was born 0:46:24.280 --> 0:46:28.719 with the fucking right. I'm fucking man's funk right now. 0:46:30.800 --> 0:46:38.600 Mm hmmm.

But 0:46:50.800 --> 0:46:57.960 you know what though, now you can't. Mm hmm. Fuck you. 0:46:58.200 --> 0:47:00.400 And that's the scary part. That's that's the part that 0:47:00.440 --> 0:47:04.839 people don't understand. They don't understand if if somebody can 0:47:04.880 --> 0:47:07.280 give you something, they can take it away cold blood, 0:47:07.360 --> 0:47:11.920 ain't it? Yeah? And everything that we have, it's because 0:47:11.920 --> 0:47:17.080 they said we could have it. They wrote it in 0:47:17.160 --> 0:47:22.440 for us. Man. The law wasn't written with us in mind, 0:47:22.560 --> 0:47:24.359 so they kind of write us in here and there 0:47:24.840 --> 0:47:27.960 whenever we start crowning by ship that we ain't getting. 0:47:29.040 --> 0:47:32.760 But now the way, the way, the um, the needles 0:47:32.760 --> 0:47:37.160 are tipping to the red.

Ain't 0:47:47.239 --> 0:47:49.560 no way and they mind ain't no way that could happen. 0:47:49.640 --> 0:47:53.920 Watch their minds, ain't no way something like that's gonna 0:47:53.920 --> 0:47:57.920 have missed.

And it shot me all the 0:53:05.320 --> 0:53:12.200 way back to when we lost the man, when when 0:53:12.200 --> 0:53:21.000 I got shot at the waffle house. Um, the law 0:53:21.080 --> 0:53:25.719 man shot my partner in the back and they never 0:53:25.800 --> 0:53:32.520 charged him with murder. And I think that, Um, I 0:53:32.520 --> 0:53:34.839 think we're gonna we we we should all go and 0:53:34.880 --> 0:53:37.200 bring that back up. I want to bring it.

So and that 0:53:55.040 --> 0:53:57.680 ride home, we got that man sitting in there in 0:53:57.760 --> 0:54:01.040 that seat.

Yeah, and that was 0:54:29.239 --> 0:54:34.880 that was always our um. That was always mandatory for us. 0:54:35.840 --> 0:54:38.160 You know when we left and you noticed when we left, 0:54:38.719 --> 0:54:40.960 we left together. We came back home together. We mean, 0:54:41.080 --> 0:54:53.120 we couldn't leave nobody out there. And damn ship man, 0:54:53.160 --> 0:54:58.160 we lost some man dog, they lost a man man, 0:54:58.160 --> 0:55:00.600 They lost a kid, bro, and I was a little 0:55:00.640 --> 0:55:11.640 kid man. Yeah. Uh they lots a kid man. I 0:55:11.680 --> 0:55:18.400 mean we was kids, bro, those kids will I was 0:55:19.440 --> 0:55:21.719 years old and Rudy died he was he was kids, bro. 0:55:22.840 --> 0:55:24.480 And that she just shot me back to that, to that, 0:55:24.680 --> 0:55:26.839 to that, to that one, to that moment right there, 0:55:27.400 --> 0:55:31.960 you know, like we was kids man. Yeah. I know 0:55:32.120 --> 0:55:37.680 it's not like one. It's not a one size fits all. 0:55:37.920 --> 0:55:47.960 It's not um a single uh a remedy. But where 0:55:48.000 --> 0:55:50.240 does it start? I mean, whe where do you start 0:55:50.560 --> 0:55:55.920 with trying to change the mindset? You know what? You 0:55:56.000 --> 0:56:02.120 know what I have to uh my first um injection 0:56:02.160 --> 0:56:09.200 into that um educational movement that need to be exercise, bro, 0:56:10.360 --> 0:56:15.600 is death is permanent, and you just gotta let them 0:56:15.640 --> 0:56:19.680 see how permanent death is, you know, walk the ass 0:56:19.719 --> 0:56:23.839 through that morgue, you know, let them look and see 0:56:23.920 --> 0:56:26.560 that ship. But what about the ones who are just 0:56:26.719 --> 0:56:28.759 fascinated about it some much something. Some of them, like 0:56:28.880 --> 0:56:30.799 you said, they want their name on the shirt. I mean, 0:56:30.840 --> 0:56:33.040 they don't get no attention and lessons some of them. 0:56:33.800 --> 0:56:38.440 Some of them feel so insignificant. That's fine with They 0:56:38.520 --> 0:56:40.920 feel so hopeless that they feel like that's all they 0:56:41.040 --> 0:56:43.640 got is that T shirt, that name on the T shirt, 0:56:43.680 --> 0:56:46.759 and everybody mourning them. So even if they can't feel it, 0:56:47.440 --> 0:56:49.719 they seem like they just want to know that it 0:56:49.840 --> 0:56:56.960 went down. What about what about actually watching somebody does that? 0:56:57.080 --> 0:57:00.160 Tran Does that change that? Does that change? It? Is 0:57:00.200 --> 0:57:02.640 why I don't think it's necessary. It might change a 0:57:02.719 --> 0:57:04.799 few people, but here's why I don't think it will 0:57:04.920 --> 0:57:10.440 change anybody. I don't think it will change collectively. Uh. 0:57:10.960 --> 0:57:14.400 It didn't change me as I started for my first 0:57:14.600 --> 0:57:17.120 man get killed at five years old. It didn't change me. 0:57:17.360 --> 0:57:20.560 It didn't make me. It only made me aware of 0:57:21.720 --> 0:57:24.280 what not to do, certain things, how to move in 0:57:24.360 --> 0:57:29.840 a certain way. Uh. That's why I didn't gamble until 0:57:29.880 --> 0:57:32.360 I was in my twenties, because I was shook. It 0:57:32.840 --> 0:57:36.240 shook me, but it didn't make me fear death, or 0:57:36.320 --> 0:57:39.240 it didn't make me feel taking life. It didn't make 0:57:39.280 --> 0:57:43.200 me fear taking a life, so I don't. I think 0:57:44.280 --> 0:57:47.760 what made me care more is when I started caring 0:57:47.800 --> 0:57:51.880 about myself. What made me change my mindset. It's when 0:57:51.920 --> 0:57:54.360 I started caring about myself. You can't tell me. You 0:57:54.400 --> 0:57:56.160 can tell me about all these other people all you 0:57:56.240 --> 0:57:59.400 want to, But I got my life to live, and 0:57:59.480 --> 0:58:02.400 I'm going through my own thing, and all of these 0:58:02.520 --> 0:58:05.640 people are doing their thing or whatever. I got my 0:58:05.760 --> 0:58:08.400 own life experiences, and ain't nobody trying to look out 0:58:08.480 --> 0:58:10.520 for me. Ain't nobody trying to take care of me. 0:58:10.600 --> 0:58:13.400 Ain't nobody doing for me. So all I see is 0:58:13.640 --> 0:58:16.920 me against the world. So it's hard for me to 0:58:18.280 --> 0:58:21.200 care about other people if I don't care about myself. 0:58:21.760 --> 0:58:25.280 So I had to start caring about myself enough to 0:58:25.440 --> 0:58:29.560 not want to be put away in prison forever and 0:58:29.720 --> 0:58:34.480 be living amongst a bunch of damn fools and you know, 0:58:34.640 --> 0:58:38.240 a bunch of men, right. I love the company of 0:58:38.320 --> 0:58:41.440 women too much to let that be my final destination. 0:58:42.440 --> 0:58:45.400 So I had to start caring about myself enough to 0:58:46.000 --> 0:58:50.200 to know that I don't want to be laying out 0:58:50.880 --> 0:58:55.600 on the concrete like my little cousin Larry was with 0:58:55.720 --> 0:58:58.800 a hole in his head like a dog. And that's 0:58:58.800 --> 0:59:01.080 how I looked at it, because you if you live 0:59:01.120 --> 0:59:03.560 in the in the hood, you know, I mean, you know, 0:59:03.800 --> 0:59:06.000 sometimes you see a dog on a damn street. If 0:59:06.040 --> 0:59:08.080 you ride the highways, you'll see a dog on the 0:59:08.120 --> 0:59:11.360 street and the road kills. So to me, that's what 0:59:11.480 --> 0:59:14.920 it looked like. A body of human being just lying 0:59:14.960 --> 0:59:19.200 out on the ground in the concrete and uh, in 0:59:19.280 --> 0:59:24.480 the code and police officers walking around him. Uh, and 0:59:24.760 --> 0:59:28.280 they're cracking jokes and laughing, not necessarily maybe it's by him, 0:59:28.320 --> 0:59:30.600 maybe it's about something else, but they're cracking jokes and 0:59:30.600 --> 0:59:34.520 they're laughing, and they're eating. They're eating like it's nothing. 0:59:35.560 --> 0:59:39.320 It's nothing, Yeah, it's nothing. And it's it's like almost 0:59:39.400 --> 0:59:44.160 like our trauma is being monetized. So for me, uh, 0:59:44.960 --> 0:59:46.920 it came down, I don't want that to be me. 0:59:47.280 --> 0:59:49.360 I don't want that life. I don't want this life 0:59:49.440 --> 0:59:53.760 over here. Uh. And so in art so once I 0:59:53.840 --> 0:59:57.920 started started uh loving myself and and wanting better for 0:59:58.040 --> 1:00:01.960 myself or the man, that they started respecting other people 1:00:02.320 --> 1:00:05.720 more because I don't want them to do nothing to 1:00:05.800 --> 1:00:07.400 me and I don't want to have to do something 1:00:07.480 --> 1:00:10.920 to them. You see. Some people don't need all of 1:00:10.960 --> 1:00:13.280 that like I needed. Some people don't need all that. 1:00:13.440 --> 1:00:15.800 Some people can just automatically be like, well, I love 1:00:15.880 --> 1:00:18.440 everybody and that's just wrong and I'm not gonna do 1:00:18.560 --> 1:00:22.560 anything wrong to anybody, and I just love and if 1:00:22.720 --> 1:00:24.760 even if they hurt me, I'm not gonna hurt anybody. 1:00:24.920 --> 1:00:27.320 Some people are built like that. I'm not. I'm not 1:00:27.400 --> 1:00:32.680 built like that, you know, like, uh if somebody, if 1:00:32.800 --> 1:00:35.680 somebody hurt me, I am going to try to hurt 1:00:35.760 --> 1:00:40.480 everything they love. That's me. So uh so my thing 1:00:40.720 --> 1:00:48.200 is like, hey, you know, just first don't first off, 1:00:48.400 --> 1:00:54.440 love on myself. That didn't sound good if you, if you, 1:00:54.840 --> 1:00:57.320 it don't sound good because your mind being the gutter. Bro. 1:00:58.040 --> 1:01:01.960 You gotta stop watching Point while you're driving. You know, 1:01:03.840 --> 1:01:05.760 you know you can watch it, you know like when 1:01:05.800 --> 1:01:09.920 you when you when you stationary, but don't watch it 1:01:10.040 --> 1:01:21.240 while you're driving. Man, I guess uh that's a break 1:01:29.200 --> 1:01:36.320 with it. That's it. Now. We gotta wrap, man, we 1:01:36.400 --> 1:01:40.080 gotta wrap. No. I really I wanted to touch. I 1:01:40.160 --> 1:01:42.600 wanted to touch on the on the little baby thing, 1:01:42.720 --> 1:01:45.440 the ticket sales thing. You know how you remember what 1:01:45.720 --> 1:01:49.320 happened with little Baby, the Baby, The Baby, the Baby. Uh. 1:01:49.640 --> 1:01:53.120 People were trying to rank on him about his ticket sales. 1:01:53.360 --> 1:01:58.800 Uh Uh. He had a show in the Baby, the Baby. 1:01:59.280 --> 1:02:00.960 He had a show and they were doing two for 1:02:01.080 --> 1:02:04.600 one tickets yet and people was trying to rank on him. 1:02:05.000 --> 1:02:09.960 But the venue held thirteen hundred people, and people were 1:02:10.000 --> 1:02:11.680 ranking on him because you know what I mean, she 1:02:12.160 --> 1:02:15.080 went from selling all these damn tickets and stuff to 1:02:15.400 --> 1:02:18.240 not a thirteen hundred seat with people doing a you know, 1:02:18.400 --> 1:02:20.480 a two for one deal. So people were laughing at it. 1:02:20.760 --> 1:02:23.880 And my my point about that was that you know, 1:02:24.360 --> 1:02:27.160 the game changes. You know, people ain't gonna always be 1:02:27.200 --> 1:02:29.640 at the top, and and so you have to make adjustments. 1:02:29.720 --> 1:02:33.560 This was in Birmingham, Alabama. What's the city. But Birmingham 1:02:33.680 --> 1:02:36.880 is also a B market, So you can't do and 1:02:37.080 --> 1:02:38.960 B markets what you might be able to do in 1:02:39.040 --> 1:02:41.440 an A market. I mean, that's just what that's that's 1:02:41.520 --> 1:02:46.200 that's just the business man, you know, right, one more record. 1:02:46.240 --> 1:02:51.640 He's back to arenas. You know, you know, um all tapes. 1:02:51.760 --> 1:02:55.160 One record, but he's already still doing arenas. Also, because 1:02:55.400 --> 1:02:58.920 when people were talking down on him, he posted a 1:02:59.080 --> 1:03:02.320 video of himself on stage at what looked like an 1:03:02.320 --> 1:03:04.320 arena or at least a the a. It was thousands 1:03:04.360 --> 1:03:08.560 of people. Yeah, I mean, you're big gass artists. And 1:03:09.840 --> 1:03:11.240 I don't know why they're working within him like that, 1:03:12.120 --> 1:03:14.840 because people gotta have something to talk about. Really, you know, 1:03:15.160 --> 1:03:16.960 as what he said something to hate on. Let me 1:03:17.000 --> 1:03:24.040 ask you a question, and what he said about, well, 1:03:24.080 --> 1:03:30.280 he didn't say nothing about, but that s no gonna say. 1:03:30.320 --> 1:03:37.240 It said, tell tell us what you said, because everybody 1:03:37.280 --> 1:03:40.480 don't know kids, bring everybody up to speed.

Because now 1:03:54.720 --> 1:03:57.800 that sounds weird exactly. I don't know what. I don't 1:03:57.800 --> 1:03:59.280 even know what was said, but I know what to 1:03:59.360 --> 1:04:01.440 finish some people. But how you know it was about 1:04:01.480 --> 1:04:05.040 that we'll call that, well that what the drawback would. 1:04:05.160 --> 1:04:09.160 But what don't you saying? So everybody can be clear?
