Speaker 1: Hold up, hold up, hold up, Hey, your wartnership baby
Speaker 1: Bansu solo And this is the Wollerler Show podcast. What
Speaker 1: did you do with me? O? C T. You know
Speaker 1: what's all produced by me? What we got today? Soon. Well, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: our good brother, my mentor, Garag Simmons, cannot be here
Speaker 1: with us today. He is out handling some big boss business. Okay,
Speaker 1: but we do have another big boss in the building
Speaker 1: with us today. We have Jacob Ork. You you let
Speaker 1: me get you all over history, okay. Zack York is
Speaker 1: a man of many hats. To be honest, when I
Speaker 1: met him, I was a door girl at the club,
Speaker 1: and I just always saw him with celebrities and and
Speaker 1: movers and shakers, and he was always taken care of.
Speaker 1: And I didn't understand what the hell Jacob York did, Okay,
Speaker 1: But then I found out. Okay, he's been very successful
Speaker 1: in the music industry. You've managed quite a few people.
Speaker 1: You had an interesting childhood. You know, it's public knowledge,
Speaker 1: stuff that your dad was involved in and who actually
Speaker 1: we're on the other side it a bit um. So
Speaker 1: it was like you grew up an advocate for the
Speaker 1: right things. Yeah, I would say I've always been on
Speaker 1: the an advocate for those who might have been exploited
Speaker 1: in any way, abused in any way, taking advantage of
Speaker 1: any way. So I guess it's growing up with it,
Speaker 1: you know what what my dad helped me to, you know,
Speaker 1: find my calling, if that makes sense. I know that
Speaker 1: bother our nation is probably scratching their heads. What we're
Speaker 1: talking about is Jacob's father was a cult leader, but
Speaker 1: Jacob wasn't into all of that, Okay, Jacob actually spoke
Speaker 1: out against what his father may have been doing. Um,
Speaker 1: which is I guess a part of why and how
Speaker 1: it is that you're so successfully vocal about politics. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, ultimately, you know, the good and the bad
Speaker 1: of my dad is, you know, being an influential person.
Speaker 1: At one point he was. He was religiously the first
Speaker 1: and then obviously as he descended more and more to madness,
Speaker 1: he became a colt leader. Um. But what I learned,
Speaker 1: you know from my mother and father ben us how
Speaker 1: a lot about politics because we would have like mayors
Speaker 1: and governors and local senators you know, down to the
Speaker 1: house and they would be buying for my dad's approvals
Speaker 1: because he had a big following. So that they can
Speaker 1: endorse whatever tickets. So we would have made dankins at
Speaker 1: the time at the house, so we would have you know,
Speaker 1: and cops would come down to the house. But whoever
Speaker 1: it was that wanted my dad's voto block, because at
Speaker 1: the time it was a big Muslim leader, they would
Speaker 1: come to the house. So I was always amazed by
Speaker 1: the that ability and my family had to influence politics
Speaker 1: within the city. And that made me very interested in
Speaker 1: understanding how that works, because that was that the you know,
Speaker 1: my dad was able to get away with what he
Speaker 1: got away within Georgia because he had influence over the
Speaker 1: Democratic governor because of his power within george and his
Speaker 1: ability to change votes right and and and drive votes
Speaker 1: to this government. This government. Literally when his victims I
Speaker 1: came at, you know, broke to the g b I
Speaker 1: what was happening to them, the governor told the g
Speaker 1: b I to back off because he had that much
Speaker 1: political influence in the state of Georgia. And so you
Speaker 1: but that's the bad part of political influence. But again,
Speaker 1: my my dad has always understood how to you know,
Speaker 1: use his his congregation or in his million followers at
Speaker 1: the time to best suit his needs. You know it's
Speaker 1: which is very interesting. Yeah, it's crazy because they try
Speaker 1: to say that, you know, these days are separate and
Speaker 1: they're really not. They're not. That line is very blurred, Yeah,
Speaker 1: very extremely blurred. Like the power, the power does that
Speaker 1: be spend their entire time trying to convince those who
Speaker 1: are not in power that their votes don't count or
Speaker 1: their voices are not being heard or they don't matter.
Speaker 1: And what people don't understand, you know, the reason why
Speaker 1: you have one percent is because people are convincing you
Speaker 1: that if you step outside of your I mean they
Speaker 1: convince you not to step outside of you, right, And
Speaker 1: they don't want you to become part of the one
Speaker 1: percent because you know, they have to share money with
Speaker 1: you because it's this, there's a fine the amount of
Speaker 1: money floating around this world. So whoever's changing hands, right,
Speaker 1: it's gonna change. It's like so in other words, if
Speaker 1: this guy becomes worth a hundred billion, someone's feeling that current. Right.
Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, they want you
Speaker 1: to stay there. They want you to not involve yourself
Speaker 1: in politics, not to get involved in what you know,
Speaker 1: they want you to stay where you are, you know,
Speaker 1: because you're a consumer base for them. So I always
Speaker 1: remember that. And I'm not I'm not into conspiracy theories.
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you this is economics one on one.
Speaker 1: Any educated person and anybody that's ever accounted money understands that.
Speaker 1: You know, when you have to share it with twenty people,
Speaker 1: it's a lot less than when you share with four people. Right,
Speaker 1: So my dad understood that, but that also made me
Speaker 1: want to learn it. Right. And the weirdest thing on
Speaker 1: the in the world is what made me care about
Speaker 1: civics more. As I was on my way to Columbia
Speaker 1: University one day on the one train and the specific
Speaker 1: actor was on the on the train. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: say his name, um, and he saw me reading the
Speaker 1: newspaper and he said, oh, what are you reading about it?
Speaker 1: And I had been reading at the time about the
Speaker 1: political issues within New York politics, and he said, what
Speaker 1: do you So he asked me about civics? How much
Speaker 1: do you know about civics? And as I don't really know.
Speaker 1: I know what I learned in you know, high school
Speaker 1: and something what I've learned, he said, well, let me
Speaker 1: did He started the whole ride up to the Morningside campus.
Speaker 1: He educated me on on civics in this country and
Speaker 1: changed me as a black man, from the emotional part
Speaker 1: of the history of this country to literally understand the
Speaker 1: power structure, right and what And then that's he's he's
Speaker 1: a very famous white actor. I'll just say that a
Speaker 1: white man talked to all this stuff. A white man
Speaker 1: made me open my eyes. He said, here's what you
Speaker 1: have to do. And he was a liberal. He said,
Speaker 1: you have to remove the emotions of history in America
Speaker 1: and understand what America's civics is was about. Right. And
Speaker 1: he says, as a black man in America, most of
Speaker 1: us are caught in the emotions because we have dealt
Speaker 1: with the brash realities of America's darkness, right. And what
Speaker 1: happens is we forget that it's good against evil or
Speaker 1: rich against port, you know what I'm saying, and we
Speaker 1: get caught up in themotional access aspects of racism or
Speaker 1: you know, and we forget that racism as a mechanism, right,
Speaker 1: it wasn't quite personal. It was designed to make money. Right.
Speaker 1: So he changed my perspective on that, and I remove
Speaker 1: the emotions for a second in those still hurts, and
Speaker 1: I started to study American history, and I started to
Speaker 1: study specifics of American and I got really caught up
Speaker 1: in it. And I was lucky to have access to
Speaker 1: obviously in Columbia University Library with nine million books um,
Speaker 1: and was just going through and I was after that,
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what I'm gonna That's what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do on my in my spare time as
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna, you know, try to help with civics
Speaker 1: and and and and and political discourse in America. And
Speaker 1: that's what I've done for you know, maybe thirty years now.
Speaker 1: Quietly is it? Is it an emotional question when people
Speaker 1: have to ask has Donald Trump done anything for black people? How?
Speaker 1: How can that not be associated to any form of emotions.
Speaker 1: Uniquely enough, the reason why Trump has gone is because
Speaker 1: of emotions. Emotions can be used as a tool. So
Speaker 1: when we look at it like that, we can, Okay,
Speaker 1: let's look at it. Let's look at slavery as a
Speaker 1: whether that has that that institution. A lot of bad
Speaker 1: people don't want to understand that black people traditionally sold
Speaker 1: their enemies or their foes or the poor people to
Speaker 1: white people who dragged them here to this country. At
Speaker 1: the time, the country was a very poor country, right.
Speaker 1: What that means by because there was no system, so
Speaker 1: they brought a bunch of people here to work for
Speaker 1: free to build an empire. Right now, when we speak
Speaker 1: of it logically, it looks like a business decision. Right,
Speaker 1: cheap labor so that you can undercut the world's cotton
Speaker 1: market so you can become an empire. Sounds but good
Speaker 1: that way when you deal with it from the emotional
Speaker 1: perspective of being beaten separated, you know, as black people
Speaker 1: are treated like mules, like commodities, the fit that emotion
Speaker 1: is still there, right, So there's room for both if
Speaker 1: you can to control the narrative around politics, right, because
Speaker 1: you have to get people emotional for them to get
Speaker 1: out and vote, right, because we're human beings are not
Speaker 1: at that point where they can just vote because it's logical.
Speaker 1: Most people vote because it's emotional to them, Right, I
Speaker 1: feel fear of this, or I don't like this, or
Speaker 1: someone's gonna take this away from me. They don't really
Speaker 1: get that deep. Right. So the question is, has Donald
Speaker 1: done anything for black people? Yes? He has? Has he
Speaker 1: done the right thing for black people? No? So what
Speaker 1: does that mean Every president that comes around gives money
Speaker 1: to the HBCUs. Every president. It's not abnormal, it's party
Speaker 1: in the hpc US. Is is a bargaining tool that's used,
Speaker 1: you know, to leverage. Right, So that's done. Every president
Speaker 1: that comes around finds a way to do that. When
Speaker 1: they speak of criminal justice reform, there's two things. This
Speaker 1: is not a reform, right, it was the first step act. Yes,
Speaker 1: the people of color and people in prison will lead
Speaker 1: out of jail. Right. A lot of them had a
Speaker 1: few weeks least some were over Uh, the sentence was
Speaker 1: a bit overreached. Yes, that happened, But it happened with
Speaker 1: Evan Jones, who worked on the same criminal justice form
Speaker 1: on the Obama's administration that the Republicans never passed, Right,
Speaker 1: they waited until it was under Trump to pass it.
Speaker 1: Does that matter to us, Yes, because people got out
Speaker 1: of jail. Another thing we have to be careful about
Speaker 1: is Trump thinks that's only what that meant what matters
Speaker 1: to us of us and not criminals. And so it
Speaker 1: turns around and he says, oh, I like a fouser,
Speaker 1: I let two thousand black people out of jail. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but we're not all in jail. You also turned right
Speaker 1: back around and co signed police officers hurting black people
Speaker 1: five minutes later. So again, do you think that we
Speaker 1: care about the fact that you let two thousand black
Speaker 1: people out jail, who maybe two percent of them was
Speaker 1: probably innocent, as opposed to sending out a message to
Speaker 1: the police that they can murder us at at at will.
Speaker 1: The contradiction in Trump's message is what causes people to
Speaker 1: say it's a sour pill. It's not what you did,
Speaker 1: is who you did it for? You like, who did it? Right?
Speaker 1: So agatting with you. Somebody could come to you and
Speaker 1: say here's a thousand dollars, gonna be like, well, what
Speaker 1: the hell is this motherfucker want? I and someone else
Speaker 1: can come to you say here's the thousandledge you' be like, well,
Speaker 1: I know who that person is, right, So it's really
Speaker 1: who right? Didn't he got these smart black people that
Speaker 1: come in and say, well he did Opportunities On And
Speaker 1: I sit back and I go, what is that? Exactly right?
Speaker 1: What is opportunities On? Opportunities On is the largest gentrification
Speaker 1: program for black neighborhoods in the history of America. So
Speaker 1: is that a good thing? It started under black Obama
Speaker 1: so we are to create this opportunity's on concert right.
Speaker 1: Trump passed it, but he passed it and it involved
Speaker 1: capital gains tax. So it gave corporations the ability to
Speaker 1: go into black neighborhoods and develop it. And he gave
Speaker 1: he rewarded them, like what reducing their capital gains tax
Speaker 1: and black he said, well that helps us? Do you
Speaker 1: pay capital gains thus, how does that help you? So?
Speaker 1: How does that help you? And so there is a
Speaker 1: misunderstanding in the behavior of Trump. It's not whether he
Speaker 1: passed opportunities on. Opportunities On has been proven if you
Speaker 1: look at uh an article done by the President of
Speaker 1: Federal Reserve of Georgia which shows that most people, and
Speaker 1: that will be most Black people will not be able
Speaker 1: to afford the neighborhoods once these this opportunities on is
Speaker 1: created because most black people do not have capital gains tax.
Speaker 1: Capital gains tax comes from what stocks, that comes from
Speaker 1: specific things, selling physical things, you know, and being able
Speaker 1: to gain capital gains in that right. And so at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, most of us when it
Speaker 1: comes to our mortgages where it's costing us more to
Speaker 1: own housing. They prove that because black people more to
Speaker 1: own housing, right, you know, we don't have enough ownership
Speaker 1: to have the capital gains tax to be able to
Speaker 1: be you know, for the subsidies that will come from
Speaker 1: the federal government for opportunities. And so again it's just gentrification.
Speaker 1: It says to these go into these black neighborhoods, right,
Speaker 1: all these minority neighborhoods, and you get to rebuild it.
Speaker 1: It doesn't say anything unit which both Barack Obama had
Speaker 1: in mind, that says you have to sell it a
Speaker 1: certain amount to them. You have to subsidize things for
Speaker 1: people in that neighborhood to be able to afford to
Speaker 1: buy those properties or participate in the opportunities. So unfortunately,
Speaker 1: these headlines are going out and that's what we're getting
Speaker 1: stuck on. We're looking at these headlines and we're saying, hey,
Speaker 1: this is what Trump is doing, but we're not taking
Speaker 1: the time to actually research what these things are and
Speaker 1: when they were really presented to us. Yes, the first
Speaker 1: people that started working on it was under Barack Obama, right,
Speaker 1: and it was part of the heat he had did
Speaker 1: it and after he passed it for a housing bill, right,
Speaker 1: which said that people in the suburbs have to allow
Speaker 1: for low income housing to be purchased by people coming
Speaker 1: out of minority communities, which Trump three months of a oldverternment, right,
Speaker 1: and say, your neighborhoods are safe once again, safe from who. Right,
Speaker 1: your suburbs are safe again, safe from who. So Breba
Speaker 1: women loved me. I just got rid of the negroes, okay.
Speaker 1: And so when you sit back and look at that,
Speaker 1: when Obama was doing it, he was working on it
Speaker 1: so that it can become our neighborhoods can be regentrified, right,
Speaker 1: and we would participate in the ability to purchase back
Speaker 1: out on neighborhoods. Right, Trump does it. There's no provision
Speaker 1: in this bill is just if you have capital game stacks,
Speaker 1: you can stay. You get you get subsidies for development.
Speaker 1: If you don't, you get to move somewhere else. And
Speaker 1: so what you're seeing around this country is taking back
Speaker 1: of these communities because we tend to live in urban
Speaker 1: areas which have larger value. Right when you look at it,
Speaker 1: and they come in and they re gentrify the community,
Speaker 1: and most of people in the community cannot afford that community,
Speaker 1: and so they get pushed out, and then the cycle
Speaker 1: of poverty continues. And so yes, you can yell out
Speaker 1: of number, or you can yell out of statement, but
Speaker 1: when you sit back and put peel back the layers
Speaker 1: in that statement, the facts is, no, he didn't do
Speaker 1: anything good for us. No, he did. Right, let's move
Speaker 1: to this administration. Um President he led Joe Biden and
Speaker 1: Vice President led Kamala Harris. Um. Trump has refused to
Speaker 1: concede as at this point, and he's not being very
Speaker 1: successful in the lawsuits that he has created. But over
Speaker 1: eighteen right right, it's like you you did all this
Speaker 1: for what sir, um. Georgia is still count down. There's
Speaker 1: a Senate runoff that is coming up. What are your
Speaker 1: thoughts on all of this that's going on currently right now?
Speaker 1: Reality industration is Trump doesn't have a job, right. Trump
Speaker 1: truly believes believed that he would get reelected. No one
Speaker 1: around him tells him the truth because he's such a
Speaker 1: narcissistic asshole that they are afraid to tell him the
Speaker 1: reality is on the ground. So it's one of those
Speaker 1: things where I can't tell the elder because if I
Speaker 1: tell him, he's gonna fire because he doesn't take bad
Speaker 1: news very well. Right, And so he really thought he
Speaker 1: would get reelected, and now that he hasn't gotten reelected,
Speaker 1: he's first emotionally dealing with the fact that he cannot lose.
Speaker 1: So it's emotional. He's probably he's tearing up the White
Speaker 1: House right now. Right The second part of it, he
Speaker 1: has to he remove. He loses his presidential uh and immunity.
Speaker 1: He becomes a regular citizen against citizen Trump. You cannot
Speaker 1: indict a citty as a city in president of the
Speaker 1: United States. They will not allow it. So now he's
Speaker 1: citizen trust. He's got rape cases he's looking at, he's
Speaker 1: looking at indictments, some taxig and he's looking at massive
Speaker 1: lawsuits he's looking at so he's freaking out. The other
Speaker 1: thing is when he was a citizen, he was making
Speaker 1: sixty five million dollars a season on a year on Apprentice.
Speaker 1: Where's his money coming from? Right now? His his projects,
Speaker 1: his a lot of his property is under performing. He's
Speaker 1: got nine hundred million dollars in loan to do next year.
Speaker 1: Do you understand that people are just like, what we're
Speaker 1: gonna do about this? And so you're dealing with a
Speaker 1: guy that's literally sitting there going what the hell am
Speaker 1: I gonna do and his the recourses. But he has
Speaker 1: popped lark amongst the Republican base. Right, He's got a
Speaker 1: solid twenty five million right, regardless of the fact that
Speaker 1: seventy one million that might have voted for him, that
Speaker 1: is irrelevant. The solid is twenty five to thirty million
Speaker 1: people and he can move that around. He so he's
Speaker 1: trying to leverage that, aside from the fact he's got
Speaker 1: about four hundred million dollars worth of debt from the
Speaker 1: last election that he has to call, you know, he
Speaker 1: has to pay off. And so he's raising money against
Speaker 1: this narrative right now so he can pay off his debt.
Speaker 1: He's trying to set up a super path for four.
Speaker 1: He's trying to figure out ways to back the Republican
Speaker 1: Party and pay off for this this runoff. So they're
Speaker 1: working together, they try to figure it out, and he
Speaker 1: wants to be head that I sit in Florida with
Speaker 1: influence so he can have the Republicans protect him from
Speaker 1: these lawsuits or anything else. And so what you're dealing
Speaker 1: with is a guy that knows he lost. Don't think
Speaker 1: he doesn't think he lost. He knows he loves I
Speaker 1: mean Michigan is at like a hundred. He he's under
Speaker 1: like one hundred and fifty thousand votes like what the
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania is and there sixty thousand I need. George is
Speaker 1: probably we really stuck it to him, right, Let's just
Speaker 1: we gave him a little four team for the for
Speaker 1: the just just hurt his feelings, like y'all really did.
Speaker 1: But we just did definitely keep I mean, we see Arizona,
Speaker 1: John McCain's and the Native Americans and the Latino vote
Speaker 1: out there stuck it to him there. And so you're
Speaker 1: dealing with a man that it's honestly literally dealing in
Speaker 1: the reality that he did loose. But he needs to
Speaker 1: figure out how to protect him. So he has to
Speaker 1: figure out how he's gonna make money, right, And at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, he had a plan in
Speaker 1: his mind that said, I'm gonna get four more years
Speaker 1: and my daughter is gonna get the next four more
Speaker 1: four years, eight years, and he thought he was gonna
Speaker 1: keep up a lineage for a while in control of
Speaker 1: his presidency. So right now he's making a play to
Speaker 1: dominate the Republican Party. Right, we have all these people
Speaker 1: beholding to him, and what he's thinking, is he's gonna
Speaker 1: They're gonna try to push these to them, these Republican
Speaker 1: senators into place in Georgia. The Republicans will have a
Speaker 1: majority to fillip buster anything that comes through the Democratic bills,
Speaker 1: and they'll be able to negotiate on behalf of Trump
Speaker 1: because again, Republicans still need him for their constituency to
Speaker 1: come out because regardless of what people said, very if
Speaker 1: he did draw a ship ton of people on the
Speaker 1: day of election, came out absolutely so his so his
Speaker 1: his that message is still strong, you know. But he
Speaker 1: he knows he lost, but you know, right now, he's
Speaker 1: he didn't. He he woke up and was like, wait,
Speaker 1: I'm out of here, right you know, I wait, I
Speaker 1: really lost. But he really thought his entire family was
Speaker 1: going to end up being president of years. He thought
Speaker 1: he he had to have a point ship about Kamala
Speaker 1: saying that we're not going to have a female, not
Speaker 1: a female, especially not a female. But then you're gonna
Speaker 1: turn around and I think your daughter was gonna be
Speaker 1: the first people president. Yes, and right now he's his
Speaker 1: And then here's another thing. Nobody likes him or his family.
Speaker 1: So it's really like he doesn't really have allies, right,
Speaker 1: he doesn't have true allies. Everyone is hold him to
Speaker 1: him because he you know, those guys will be the
Speaker 1: Republican Party are be holding to So look at their message.
Speaker 1: They're not saying it's aside from the Trumpians. The Republican
Speaker 1: pretty much Mitch McConnell was saying, every legal vote shook out.
Speaker 1: That's all he's saying. Right, they're not really saying Trump's
Speaker 1: you know, because look at what's happened. You got a
Speaker 1: Republican senator that stood up, stood up recently and said,
Speaker 1: if Joe Biden is not given critical information he needs
Speaker 1: for transition when it comes to certain things, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: step in Friday and I'm gonna do something about it.
Speaker 1: Because at some point they're just like, listen, we know
Speaker 1: you lost, and you're not gonna be too petty because
Speaker 1: because ultimately America can't because they're blocking his people are
Speaker 1: blocking world leaders from speaking to Joe Biden. They're not
Speaker 1: trying to transfer messages. They're literally being petty. So at
Speaker 1: some point, the Republican Party knows that they put themselves
Speaker 1: in a in a constitutional crisis, and America is really
Speaker 1: going to turn around and say, wait what it's a
Speaker 1: balance middle school beef. Yes, like it's really childish with
Speaker 1: this man. I think, honestly, I think for the first
Speaker 1: time in fifty sixty years, I mean a hundred years,
Speaker 1: America is gonna change certain laws and requirement for presidencies.
Speaker 1: I feel like they're gonna adjust certain things. The Trump
Speaker 1: effect is gonna change the way America. The amendments are
Speaker 1: gonna be to try to prevent this from happening again.
Speaker 1: Certain things will be preventable in the future because even
Speaker 1: Nixon didn't do this. Okay, so legally we don't need
Speaker 1: him to concede ship Ye know, No, he doesn't need it,
Speaker 1: don't need to do ship if on January one, if
Speaker 1: he if he if he's not gone by the twenties
Speaker 1: to January, they're gonna drag him, kicking and screaming out
Speaker 1: of it. Just like they said, the federal government has
Speaker 1: a history and knowledge on how to build with trespasses
Speaker 1: in the White House. They will legitimately physically remove him
Speaker 1: because he's the ones. He's a citizen, he's not the president,
Speaker 1: so he no longer has a community and no one
Speaker 1: has to listen to him. And that in the the
Speaker 1: government anymore, so they will physically remove him. And it's
Speaker 1: gonna so if he and I think he knows that,
Speaker 1: I believe before the year is out, he's gonna come
Speaker 1: with a way. If he once he raises enough money
Speaker 1: from his followers and his in his constituency, he's gonna Well,
Speaker 1: I'm I still want, but I'm leaving. We'll be right
Speaker 1: back with more of the Boiler Alert Show. Back to
Speaker 1: the ball Alert Show starting March Ferrari Simmons and Sue
Speaker 1: Solo Nation. We are talking with the one and only
Speaker 1: Jacob York. We're talking about the state of the election
Speaker 1: right now. Um, let's talk about these runoffs that happen
Speaker 1: in January five. For Georgia. We have Senator David Perdue
Speaker 1: running against David Alstoff, and then we have Reverend Rappie.
Speaker 1: We're not going against Kelly Laffler. Hey, um, Jacob, can
Speaker 1: you explain to the listeners how important this is for
Speaker 1: Georgia to um win the Senate for the Democrats? Okay?
Speaker 1: And so the important thing about it is, I think
Speaker 1: that people think the residency is the Polish right, and
Speaker 1: they don't understand that it's really the legislative branch, right,
Speaker 1: which is Congress. Congress is the power. They passed the laws.
Speaker 1: The president's job is to sign laws into power. Right,
Speaker 1: he signs off on it, but he's not really the
Speaker 1: guy that aside from executive orders. Executive orders are not laws, right,
Speaker 1: they can be overturned. But no matter which president comes,
Speaker 1: laws are passed by the Congress. Right, it goes from
Speaker 1: the House of Representatives to the Senate and laws of past.
Speaker 1: So again you have laws currently. That's been bills that
Speaker 1: have been four hundred bills sitting with Mitch McConnell that
Speaker 1: he hasn't passed. And that's because the Republicans control the Senate.
Speaker 1: Simple bills like that, nonpartisan bills Kamala Harris and Tim
Speaker 1: Cook from South Carolina, the Republican UH senator, the anti
Speaker 1: lynching bill blocked by Mitch McConnell. Simple things like you know,
Speaker 1: first responders bills right that helps them, blocked by to McConnell,
Speaker 1: there's many bills that are sitting there, four hundred because
Speaker 1: he has the ability to do it, because the Republicans
Speaker 1: control the Senate, right, so it will matter. It wouldn't
Speaker 1: matter what what what what? Joe Biden does at that
Speaker 1: moment if he doesn't have a lot more control than
Speaker 1: the Senate, because ultimately what you run into is he
Speaker 1: sends a bill down, he goes to Congress and said, hey,
Speaker 1: I want to I want to put this particular bill
Speaker 1: right now. He talks about systematic racism, and he turns around,
Speaker 1: he goes to Nancy Pelosi and says, hey, I want
Speaker 1: to do something about systematic racism, and they create a
Speaker 1: bility and because the Democrats control the House, right they
Speaker 1: can pass that bill. Then it goes to the Senate.
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell and the Republicans, who says there's no such
Speaker 1: thing as systematic racism, can block it. And then Joe
Speaker 1: Biden will didn't have to water that bill down to
Speaker 1: a bill that they think is worth them passing, thus
Speaker 1: removing things from it or adding things to it just
Speaker 1: so the Republicans could pass it, or he'll have to
Speaker 1: do it as an executive order and lo and behold,
Speaker 1: four years from now, if if a Trump gets elected again,
Speaker 1: they'll just reverse it and we'll react to start again.
Speaker 1: And so the important thing is if you get us
Speaker 1: off and we're not into place, the Democrats and the
Speaker 1: Republican will then have the equal amount of people in
Speaker 1: the Senate, and Kamala Harris our next VP. The VP
Speaker 1: of the United States is the President of the Senate. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: so she will sit there and then she will be
Speaker 1: the deciding vote on all these laws. She will break
Speaker 1: the filibuster. And so if you want to see certain
Speaker 1: laws get through, it's important to get out and get
Speaker 1: these these two gentlemen elected as senators. Senators have more
Speaker 1: power than almost anyone in this country, as weird as
Speaker 1: that sounds, but they do. The president are uniquely enough
Speaker 1: if you look at the history of America, um, the
Speaker 1: president was really put into place to deal with international
Speaker 1: years more than he was put into place to deal
Speaker 1: with domestic affairs. Congress really dealt with domestic affairs. The
Speaker 1: president was really because it was a bunch of different states, right,
Speaker 1: and they operated with their own kind of presidents called governors.
Speaker 1: They had their own Congress within their states, which is
Speaker 1: their state present and if they had their own supreme courts,
Speaker 1: that their own police force and their own you know,
Speaker 1: military force. But they did not know how to deal
Speaker 1: with national international issues, like how who's gonna deal with us,
Speaker 1: Who's gonna deal with London, with England, who's gonna deal
Speaker 1: with France, who's gonna deal with Germany? And who's gonna
Speaker 1: deal with all this stuff international US? We need to
Speaker 1: nominate a national guy in place to do that stuff
Speaker 1: for us. That's how it originally started, and so that
Speaker 1: as as time went by, the President became more and
Speaker 1: more empower But at the beginning they just wanted him
Speaker 1: to deal with like how much are we gonna sell
Speaker 1: our cotton to Australia? Force who's gonna talk to Australia
Speaker 1: for us? We can't have fifty governors, right, so we
Speaker 1: have to nominate two senators per state. We have to
Speaker 1: nominate people from within the districts in America to go
Speaker 1: to a federal House, and we've got to nominate someone
Speaker 1: on top of them. And then they can handle the guys.
Speaker 1: The Senators and the House of Representative which create the
Speaker 1: Congress can handle national issues for US, and then the
Speaker 1: president can handle international issue like if we decided to
Speaker 1: go to war outside, the president can do that right.
Speaker 1: Internally we can handle it right. So that's how it
Speaker 1: really started, and that's time went by. The federalist, which
Speaker 1: is people that wanted federal power to control more, put
Speaker 1: the president into more and more and more and more
Speaker 1: power within the state, right within the country here, So
Speaker 1: always understand that senators have a ship ton of power,
Speaker 1: right and we have to make sure and and the
Speaker 1: way the map is set up, it's two senators per state.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if your California with sixty million or
Speaker 1: you're not the quota with nine thousand. It's two senators
Speaker 1: for state. And if you notice, there's more red states
Speaker 1: than there are blue states. So it's very interesting how
Speaker 1: that senator thing works. And senators can stop everything they
Speaker 1: they they're responsible for nominating Supreme Court justices, they're involved
Speaker 1: in past laws. And if they can block you, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what Joe Biden tries to do. He'll have
Speaker 1: to use the executive power or he has to water
Speaker 1: down that bill. Right. Two stuff you don't like, like
Speaker 1: the crime Bill where he had to water the bill
Speaker 1: down as a senator so that to get the Republican support,
Speaker 1: and you get three strikes in your out and then
Speaker 1: you get this mass incarceration. Everybody gets mad at him
Speaker 1: and he's like, well, I can't pass it through the Senate.
Speaker 1: What I was involved in them because we didn't control
Speaker 1: the Senate, and so they put things in and we
Speaker 1: put things in, and you get bills that don't turn
Speaker 1: out the way you wanted to, but you try to
Speaker 1: get the best of both worlds to get the Republican
Speaker 1: to sign off. So it's important to understand that we
Speaker 1: can't put a president in place and not help him
Speaker 1: with backing him up with the Senate so that the
Speaker 1: VP can sit there and as the President of the Senate,
Speaker 1: she can help to move things away. We need to
Speaker 1: move on now. This election, people came out in record numbers,
Speaker 1: whether it was melon ballads, in person, voting early, whatever
Speaker 1: the case was. I also felt like there was a
Speaker 1: big celebrity push in this year's election. Do you think
Speaker 1: that that this celebrity influence had a lot to do
Speaker 1: with the younger people getting out and voting, and not
Speaker 1: only that and the pickingback off of that. So what
Speaker 1: do you think about all the people who endorsed Trump,
Speaker 1: the rappers and stuff who endorse Trump and with cancel
Speaker 1: culture now these days, do you feel like these people
Speaker 1: will be canceled? I don't think that we should cancel
Speaker 1: people because they vote for Trump. Ignorance is bliss right.
Speaker 1: Some people just are ignorant. They don't understany don't have
Speaker 1: the ability sometimes to make the CISTI divisive or decisive
Speaker 1: decisions that like, oh, look at the people that voted
Speaker 1: for Trump, right, it's why did they vote for Trump? Right?
Speaker 1: Little Wayne says, Oh, I'm not with black Lives matter
Speaker 1: because a white cops saved my life when I was young.
Speaker 1: Cops is not a it's not a race of people. Right.
Speaker 1: So that statement alone should make us understand where he stands. Right,
Speaker 1: He doesn't have the complete ability to really see it through. Um.
Speaker 1: Do I think the celebrities made a difference. I think no.
Speaker 1: I think they played their part like they played their
Speaker 1: part in most I think that people got engaged through
Speaker 1: hashtags like black Lives Matter. I think that they're fund
Speaker 1: the police. I think young people did a very good
Speaker 1: job on TikTok. They were able to get informed. See yeah.
Speaker 1: I think George Floyd played a big part of I
Speaker 1: think deleated. I think to Army played a big part
Speaker 1: in it. I think people were able to visually see
Speaker 1: right those things and you saw a swell from there.
Speaker 1: I think celebrities, I think there's I think We definitely
Speaker 1: have to correct things within the black community because in
Speaker 1: the sixties, the fifties, the forties, celebrities were not the
Speaker 1: instrued to our political figures. We had leaders, We had
Speaker 1: political leaders. We had activists that spoke, We had people
Speaker 1: that spoke, and celebrities felt they needed those people's validation, right,
Speaker 1: so celebrities joined them. Now you have people that are
Speaker 1: activists that need celebrity validation, right, and they had a
Speaker 1: back in that time. Yes, they of course the churches
Speaker 1: played you know, the Senate of the Muslim uh monster everybody.
Speaker 1: But ultimately you had black planter had leaders. You had
Speaker 1: m l. K. You had Byron Ruster, you had Philip
Speaker 1: and Randolph, you had Noble Jually, you had Malthelmax, you
Speaker 1: had and then you had all these leaders that weren't
Speaker 1: quite they were in their their own they were their
Speaker 1: own celebrities, but they were activists. And activism was actually
Speaker 1: cool back then, right as part of the fifties and
Speaker 1: sixties counterculture. People wanted to say I was an activist.
Speaker 1: Right in in two thousand and twenty twenty, people don't
Speaker 1: care to say I'm activites. It sounds better to sam
Speaker 1: a rapper. Them is something to say I'm a swiper
Speaker 1: than it is to be I'm an activist, right, And
Speaker 1: so people, we have to we have to really begin
Speaker 1: to put power back in activism and understand that we
Speaker 1: can revere people like to make a Mallory who's an activist, right,
Speaker 1: who's out here every day in in in in Louisville, Kentucky,
Speaker 1: on the streets, fighting the battles, and she doesn't she
Speaker 1: doesn't make this change. She's not a millionaire. She's someone
Speaker 1: that's dedicated her life to change in the narrative around
Speaker 1: what's happening to brown people in this country. And we
Speaker 1: need to and we need to endear her right in
Speaker 1: a category differently than we endear ice Cube or fifty
Speaker 1: cent a little Wayne. We can enjoy their contact, we
Speaker 1: can enjoy their uh, their movie, their movie, we can
Speaker 1: enjoy you know, their concerts. We don't have to agree
Speaker 1: with their political views, and we don't have to follow
Speaker 1: their political views because they haven't dedicated their lives to
Speaker 1: this stuff. So it's not shut up and drip as
Speaker 1: much as it is. I take what you say, but
Speaker 1: I would rather listen to to make a Maori who
Speaker 1: actually is doing this every day right. And she's not
Speaker 1: a politician, right, she's an activist, right, and we should
Speaker 1: look It's like you know you, you know, so you
Speaker 1: can come to me and I could say, man, my stomach,
Speaker 1: you say if you've got gas, But I'm gonna saying, well, okay,
Speaker 1: so I'm not disrespecting me. I'm gonna say, all right, cool,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna ask my doctor, and my doctor's gonna
Speaker 1: say no, no, you have something more. And I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say soon, I have something more. And I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: say me and you ain't friends no more because you
Speaker 1: gave me your opinion, right, so we should look at
Speaker 1: little Way and as his opinion right, fifty cent his
Speaker 1: opinion because fifty spent spoke about a sixty cent tax
Speaker 1: rate that does not exist, right, But that just tells
Speaker 1: me that he's not informed. And then you've got some
Speaker 1: people like he's got informed, and so I don't get
Speaker 1: offended by him. The only offense I'm gonna tell you,
Speaker 1: the only offense I took is that you are black
Speaker 1: men and you publicly went against a black woman for
Speaker 1: this walking hikey. It just like at some point that
Speaker 1: should be enough to just be like I ain't voting
Speaker 1: for nobody if you don't agree with the Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is on this ticket. If you don't agree
Speaker 1: with it, just abstain. But you can't publicly go against
Speaker 1: a black woman if we don't get enough for that right.
Speaker 1: And so for me, that's the only personal thing that
Speaker 1: offended me about it that they didn't even take that recourse,
Speaker 1: because a lot of black men just abstained, and you
Speaker 1: can see in the number. It's like, I just rather
Speaker 1: not vote for anybody. I don't agree with her, but
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna vote for him. I would have accepted
Speaker 1: that more than I would have accepted them going up
Speaker 1: there and publicly saying I'm with this walking hicky named Trump.
Speaker 1: What you think about a kaya West whose first time
Speaker 1: voting was this year and he voted for himself at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, this is his first time
Speaker 1: voting as a forty two year old man in America
Speaker 1: and all that stuff he talked about under George Bush
Speaker 1: not liking black people, but yet he didn't do anything
Speaker 1: to change them another the thing, you know. But but
Speaker 1: you gotta look at Kanye and the Michael Casimus Kanye
Speaker 1: like you know he's you know, I know him means
Speaker 1: you know, whatever it is. But he has a lot
Speaker 1: of issues that you know, a lot of some of
Speaker 1: this with black men have something to do with feeling emasculated,
Speaker 1: feeling like they're being left behind in the messaging you know,
Speaker 1: in America. Um, and it's a whole another subject there
Speaker 1: when you deal with America black men versus black women
Speaker 1: in America. And you know, a lot of my friends
Speaker 1: on the campaign told me, don't split yere. Yeah, Jacob,
Speaker 1: but I told him, we're gonna see a big decline
Speaker 1: in black male vote because they feel like a message
Speaker 1: and it's not speaking to them. And as you started
Speaker 1: seeing as they were peeling off a little by little,
Speaker 1: and it would have been more as election was next year,
Speaker 1: you would see more more black men out of jail
Speaker 1: because that's that's who they were talking to. Yeah. It
Speaker 1: Trump's message seemed like it spoke to black men. It was.
Speaker 1: It was it was somewhat anti cancel culture, anti anything
Speaker 1: that seemed like it was emasculating men. He seemed like
Speaker 1: he was a strong man, he was taught getting down
Speaker 1: to women, he was fighting away, you know, and a
Speaker 1: lot of black men feel like they're being emasculated. They
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, I heard black Joe Biden spoke
Speaker 1: to Cardi b. Why isn't he talking to Ice C.
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's it's it's splitting hairs. But there's
Speaker 1: a history of black men being ignored by America more
Speaker 1: than anybody else, and so the messaging around that is
Speaker 1: what's causing black men to feel like, Okay, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be anti the Kamala Harris and Joe Biden ticket because
Speaker 1: it sounds like they're gonna lift black women and they're
Speaker 1: gonna ignore us. But still, no matter what, you don't
Speaker 1: go against a black woman for that walking pus. It's
Speaker 1: to me, that's just not acceptable in America. For me,
Speaker 1: I would have rather because again, i'm gonna tell you
Speaker 1: something really crazy. I was a Republican most of my life.
Speaker 1: I voted for Obama because he was black, point blank period.
Speaker 1: But I could not bring myself to vote against the blak,
Speaker 1: the first black president. I just couldn't. I was well, well, well,
Speaker 1: I was very happy with what he did, but I
Speaker 1: couldn't bring myself to vote against the first black press.
Speaker 1: I just couldn't bring myself to do. And people say, well,
Speaker 1: why don't you you know, black people, why don't your
Speaker 1: vote based on merrit went in the history of America
Speaker 1: has anything been about merry. I'm telling you, I'm waiting
Speaker 1: for telling you. What has it been about marriage? The
Speaker 1: people that marriage has finished last? Whenever white people ever
Speaker 1: done anything in America by working, I walk in there.
Speaker 1: I can't even get a cab in New York because
Speaker 1: of my skin Joe, I can't. You know, there's things
Speaker 1: that I can't get away with because of my skin tone.
Speaker 1: America has never done things on merry, but yet now
Speaker 1: they want us to do things on merria. No, I'll
Speaker 1: vote on because he's black. I'm gonna vote Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: because you're black. I'm gonna do what you do. And
Speaker 1: so at the end of the day, you know, for me,
Speaker 1: it's the voting for Rock Obama and watching the Republican
Speaker 1: Party and watching what they did made me go okay.
Speaker 1: Black people are fifth fourteen percent of this country, twelve
Speaker 1: percent to fourteen percent of this country. When you get
Speaker 1: the Democratic Caucus, right, we look at the House of Representative,
Speaker 1: which is supposed to be voted from within the people.
Speaker 1: There's about fifty five people, which represents about twelve percent
Speaker 1: of this country to fourteen this country. So we are
Speaker 1: truly representative in the Democratic Party when it comes to Congress.
Speaker 1: We're not represented anywhere when it comes to the same
Speaker 1: because that's just that's a that's a statewide thing as
Speaker 1: opposed to a district thing. And so we have to
Speaker 1: we were dealing with majority black states, I mean white states,
Speaker 1: so it's difficult to move black people into senatory job,
Speaker 1: which you we gotta do a better job at. But
Speaker 1: when I sit back and look at what the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party has done in the last forty years when it
Speaker 1: comes to black people being in positions of power, right
Speaker 1: electing black officials, I had to say to myself seven
Speaker 1: thousand Democratic officials, three hundred Republican officials. Now, fuck y'all. Republicans,
Speaker 1: y'all are not doing anything to help us be in
Speaker 1: a position to change the narrative in this country for
Speaker 1: us as black people. So I caucus with the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party because I'm not that I agree with everything they do,
Speaker 1: not that I disagree with everything the Republicans do, but
Speaker 1: we're not going to change systematic racism. We're not going
Speaker 1: to change a party five we're not going to change
Speaker 1: you know, economic racism. We're not going to change any
Speaker 1: of that stuff unless we're in a position to change
Speaker 1: those laws. And I look at the Democratic Party and
Speaker 1: I said, they seem to be letting us get in there, right,
Speaker 1: and the Republicans aren't. Now, you won't throw a lot
Speaker 1: of people off with that, you know, I was Republican
Speaker 1: most of my life. Situation, Jacob, I think the question
Speaker 1: is gonna be one second, So we're gonna come right
Speaker 1: back with more Jacob your after this, we'll be right
Speaker 1: back with more of the Bailer Alert Show. You you're
Speaker 1: listening to the show, We are back with Jacob. You're
Speaker 1: we're talking about the election on this special edition of
Speaker 1: the ball Alert Show. So you have a question. Now.
Speaker 1: Jacob revealed that he was a Republican for most of
Speaker 1: his and I think that's gonna as some people all
Speaker 1: a little bit okay, because for you to make a
Speaker 1: comment now saying that you feel that the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: is allowing us to you know, get in and and
Speaker 1: but as some positions that will allow us to make changes.
Speaker 1: Did you feel that way about the Republican Party the
Speaker 1: whole time you were supporting no um, you. I mean,
Speaker 1: most kids vote based on their parents. And my dad
Speaker 1: was a Republican. Wow, right, And so interestingly enough, yes,
Speaker 1: he was a Republican and still is. He's actually his
Speaker 1: his followers are the ones that created the black for
Speaker 1: Trump website, so he's still right. He's a very unique guy.
Speaker 1: So you you you get your mostly you get your
Speaker 1: political views from your parents. Right. My mother wasn't a Republican.
Speaker 1: She was pretty much you know, her own person, right,
Speaker 1: But my dad was right, and so you know, the
Speaker 1: things that he showed us. He said, you know, we
Speaker 1: have to be in a position of power, and the
Speaker 1: Republican Party seems to be and always in a position
Speaker 1: of power. And you know, they were good for money,
Speaker 1: and they were good for this, and it were good
Speaker 1: for that. And then he sold me on this concept
Speaker 1: of the original Republican Party, who uh, you know free
Speaker 1: the slaves and the Democrats were not and blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: And I was you know, I was ignorant, right, And
Speaker 1: so at the end of the day, as time when
Speaker 1: buying I began to learn more and more. I was like, hmm, interesting,
Speaker 1: this is interesting. That's not so I began to become
Speaker 1: more of an independent right where it depends on who
Speaker 1: it was. I was shipped, but I just never saw
Speaker 1: anyone on the Democratic ticket. I could see myself voting
Speaker 1: for right. And there's a big difference between Republicans and
Speaker 1: Trump is Trump Trump trumpsters right. Trump's Republican is a
Speaker 1: completely different Republican Party. And uh, the Republican Party that
Speaker 1: that inherited the Tea Party bothered me because the Tea
Speaker 1: Party popped up right as soon as a black man
Speaker 1: was elected, and they claimed to be a party about
Speaker 1: smaller government and low spending. But George Bush spent all
Speaker 1: this money and they didn't show up around the time
Speaker 1: he was elected. They waited to Obama was there, and
Speaker 1: by January, before he even got inaugurated, they were mad
Speaker 1: at it. And so and when the when the Republican
Speaker 1: Party said, hey, I'm going to cut these people and
Speaker 1: bring him into the party, I took offense to that
Speaker 1: as a black man, because the funny thing is I'm
Speaker 1: a black man first. Hm, That's what I am first,
Speaker 1: Like everything else comes after that. Right, And so at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, when I saw them, we
Speaker 1: obviously knew when they when the Tea Party popped up
Speaker 1: into thousand and eight that they were there were a
Speaker 1: bunch of people that were very unhappy with how tan
Speaker 1: America was getting and how dark America was getting, and
Speaker 1: they had a problem with all these you know, dark
Speaker 1: kids on TV or in commercials, and they were like, wait,
Speaker 1: they're gonna take again. Y'all will not replace us, right,
Speaker 1: They're gonna take over this country. And they popped up
Speaker 1: as soon as a black president And when I saw
Speaker 1: the Republican Party said y'all welcome here, I said, I
Speaker 1: can't be a part of this. You're not gonna tell me.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna tell I can't be a part part
Speaker 1: of a party that's co signing people to have a
Speaker 1: problem with the country getting dark or getting browner, or
Speaker 1: US having right so us becoming president of us, you know,
Speaker 1: moving out of you know, a lower class. I can
Speaker 1: be a part of a party that will will will
Speaker 1: adapt these people for power, right, And so for that
Speaker 1: I never I looked at the Republican Party and I
Speaker 1: began to change like a lot of things, because again
Speaker 1: I believe in you know, you know, a certain conservative
Speaker 1: values right, which benefited benefits us, right. But then you know,
Speaker 1: like I don't believe in this this liberal concept of
Speaker 1: abolishing the electorial votes, Like I don't believe in that
Speaker 1: the electoral college. So right, that's something that the conservatives
Speaker 1: do not agree with that I don't agree with either, right,
Speaker 1: because I think that's dangerous for black people to abolish
Speaker 1: the electoral colleges. Right, because if we had abolished the
Speaker 1: electoral college is three years ago, we would not have
Speaker 1: been the deciding factor in Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: being elected, right, because ultimately it would be based on
Speaker 1: a popular vote, and obviously we're twelve to fourteen percentative population.
Speaker 1: We can never be a popular vote, right, So they
Speaker 1: ignored or the other. And so I don't agree with
Speaker 1: the philosophy of abolishing the electoral college. I think that's
Speaker 1: a mistake. I think that at that point presidents wouldn't
Speaker 1: care if they got the black vote. You don't get
Speaker 1: a you don't get you know, Trump trying to pass
Speaker 1: laws or body. They don't care about the black vote
Speaker 1: at that one because we will not change the electric
Speaker 1: Trust me, we made a difference in Detroit, we made
Speaker 1: a difference by in in Philadelphia, we made a difference
Speaker 1: in Georgia, in Atlanta. Atlanta came in, Savannah came in out.
Speaker 1: We made a difference, and they talk to us. Speaking
Speaker 1: of Georgia, we're currently doing a recount by hand. Right now,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Listen to Rastlingberg, who was the Secretary
Speaker 1: of State, who would be the one overviewing all of
Speaker 1: this right as a Republican. He said, we will certify
Speaker 1: the votes first and then we will do recount. So
Speaker 1: this is just to appease Trump's ego. What's gonna happen
Speaker 1: is we're gonna go from fourteen thousand, six hundred votes
Speaker 1: to probably seventeen thousand votes in favor of Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: But this is this is stall tactic. So this is
Speaker 1: this is Trump's stall tactic. They're just baby in the baby.
Speaker 1: December eight is the deadline to certify all votes in
Speaker 1: all states. Correct, Yes, yes, I just wanna remind everybody
Speaker 1: about the runoff election that in Georgia. First, I'm sorry
Speaker 1: if you're but yes, you can still vote. Yes. Vote.
Speaker 1: The runoff is January five, UM. The early voting starts
Speaker 1: December four. UM GOP incumbent Senator David Purdue is defending
Speaker 1: his seat against John ass Off. Reverend Matphew Warnock get
Speaker 1: challenges Kelly Loffler in the Georgia's special election. Let's finish
Speaker 1: Trump off. Both of those people are Trumpers, not true Republicans,
Speaker 1: but they're Trumpers. Finished them off by getting rid of Purdue.
Speaker 1: Let's get rid of uh Kelly. And let's give Joe
Speaker 1: Biden and Kamala Harris and you know, the legislative branch
Speaker 1: a chance to see what they're willing to do. Because
Speaker 1: guess what, if they don't do what we want them
Speaker 1: to do, there's always two We could take them out
Speaker 1: right and replace them. So let's give them a chance
Speaker 1: to see what they can pull off. Um, and see
Speaker 1: if we get some of the things we fought for
Speaker 1: and what we voted for. You know, you're talking about
Speaker 1: seventy nine million people voting for Joe Biden, right, So
Speaker 1: that's record numbers. Right. We wanted change, and we wanted
Speaker 1: a true change from Trump is Um. We wanted to
Speaker 1: see certain things happen. And again, the only way to
Speaker 1: do that is to give the Democrats a chance to
Speaker 1: at least pass some laws without being obstructed by the Republicans.
Speaker 1: And and and so that's my opinion, and uh I
Speaker 1: don't have to agree with every candidate I have, but
Speaker 1: I will look at people and say this makes sense,
Speaker 1: and this doesn't make sense, and to give a divided
Speaker 1: government is only going to create gridlock and nothing gets done.
Speaker 1: This has been a very special edition of The Boler
Speaker 1: Show podcast edition. Thank you so much. Let me tell you,
Speaker 1: I am guilty of of not educating myself in the
Speaker 1: way that I should. But I will say that Donald
Speaker 1: Trump made me wake the funk up there, and I
Speaker 1: think that's him, right, And I think that's the one
Speaker 1: thing that he did for black people that was in
Speaker 1: a good light, because I've never paid attention to politics
Speaker 1: more than now. And also what he did for black
Speaker 1: people is liberal guilt, right. You know, you go the
Speaker 1: day after they certified the election, I walked down the
Speaker 1: street and you had white people going right. I'm like,
Speaker 1: thank you, right, so great. Whatever it takes, whatever he represented.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you gotta get a monster to understand how did
Speaker 1: you at it right? Sometimes you gotta show America realized,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, we didn't really want this right. Even
Speaker 1: some of his people were probably like, yeah, we don't
Speaker 1: really want this right, because you know, looking at how
Speaker 1: they voted, they you know, they voted conservative values. You know,
Speaker 1: they didn't want extreme left or extreme right right. They
Speaker 1: pretty much voted down the middle across the legislative branch
Speaker 1: and everything. But you know, and they gave you Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: who's a centrist Democrat as opposed to a extream left Democrat,
Speaker 1: and they had to be rid of the extreme right
Speaker 1: Republican right, and so we have to start looking, you know,
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, I like the fact that
Speaker 1: people are educated, y'alls, you know, being Robin talk all
Speaker 1: the time and like a political consultant to the to
Speaker 1: the site. And you know, it's just like the engagement
Speaker 1: that everybody has in the election is the best thing
Speaker 1: that can possibly happen, because now we will see the
Speaker 1: power of our votes and the power of our engagement
Speaker 1: and why it matters so much for us to be
Speaker 1: sold involved. And that's why I tell people, don't if
Speaker 1: somebody ever says their vote doesn't matter, rewind the tape
Speaker 1: of run the tape, because trust me, the black vote
Speaker 1: decided this damn election one and temperac and no one's
Speaker 1: hidden that. Like the Republicans are not saying it's not
Speaker 1: the Democrats are not They're like, okay, and I'm sure
Speaker 1: the Republic's gonna wake up and say we gotta do
Speaker 1: something of black people. So the lies of the last
Speaker 1: hundred years that your vote don't count, don't don't vote,
Speaker 1: your vote don't gone, that's changed. Now that's changed. Now
Speaker 1: you know what did Joe Biden said in his expected
Speaker 1: acception speech to the African Americans. I got y'all. Y'all
Speaker 1: had me like longs and that like I'm like, I
Speaker 1: got y'all to the point where it's making other constituencies
Speaker 1: a little jealous, right, they're like, we got something too.
Speaker 1: They're like Joe Biden is like, y'all, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, that's the importance of elections. And then
Speaker 1: based on elections, deciding on Atlanta, Philly for trying deciding
Speaker 1: factor right, And and that's the that's why we worked
Speaker 1: so hard over the last four years to get people
Speaker 1: so engaged, right, because it was like, if you get involved, See,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Politicians only care about people that two people,
Speaker 1: people that can hire them, and people that can fire them.
Speaker 1: So if you don't participate, you don't matter. If you
Speaker 1: do participate, you can fire and hire whoever you want.
Speaker 1: And if you hire the right mayor, then they hire
Speaker 1: the right police chief. They hired the right district attorneys.
Speaker 1: If you hire, if you vote in the right district attorneys,
Speaker 1: policies change across how people are criminally, you know charge.
Speaker 1: You know the woman that that went against i'm ad Aubrey, right,
Speaker 1: she got voted out, right, that district attorney right, that
Speaker 1: signed with the guy that murdered our our brothers, but
Speaker 1: she got voted up. So now they're they're they're really
Speaker 1: coming under pressure, right. You start seeing you know, Shore
Speaker 1: picked out for other I'm I'm sorry, I'm like, I'm
Speaker 1: I was in Brittan and it was bugging me out.
Speaker 1: Um uh so I'm out Aubrey. So at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, when you look at that, that's something
Speaker 1: that matters because now you have a district attorney in
Speaker 1: there that's gonna really try somebody and not give him
Speaker 1: haven because he used to work for her. Right, We
Speaker 1: have to be very clear and concise about understanding. There
Speaker 1: will be no change if we don't activate and fire
Speaker 1: and hire these people. And that's that's just it. Jacob Erge, everybody,
Speaker 1: we appreciate you for stopping by the Bottler Show. We
Speaker 1: look forward to seeing you and you educating this once again. Man,
