It was announced that he died after uh, 8 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: you guys recorded the trends of Friday. So yeah, I 9 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: mean he you know, he was going through pan you know, 10 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 1: it's just a fighting pancreatic cancer. Uh. He's just it's 11 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: one of the you know, one of the few people 12 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: who's like I was there watching all of these things 13 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: come to pass and potentially, you know, the work, the 14 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: blood that I shed uh during the civil rights movement 15 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: gave way to people like Barack Obama. Uh. And you know, 16 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: like that's what Barack Obama said, He's like, I'm not 17 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: here without people like John Lewis, UM, you know, creating 18 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: a path. You know, he was arrested like forty five 19 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 1: times or something for his protests against segregation and he 20 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: you know, his parents were sharecroppers. He really he's seen 21 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: it like he's he's at the crossroads of the black 22 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: experience like no other person is. And he even lived 23 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: to briefly see the uprisings um that came after you know, 24 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: May and George Floyd's death. So yeah, it's I I 25 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: had to honor of meeting him years ago when I 26 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: was still working in politics, um in Nevada, like in 27 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: a race. And I remember at the time, I was ignorant, 28 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: um like I knew that he was important, but I 29 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: didn't quite I didn't fully appreciate what his contribution was. 30 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: And I remember like getting schooled that day and I 31 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: was like, I've ever since, I've only had the up 32 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: and you can only have the utmost respect for this man. Uh. 33 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's a it's a it's a 34 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: big loss. And I just hope, you know that we 35 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: can we can move forward like in his memory, uh 36 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: and you know, hopefully the divisions that him and Dr 37 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: King and a lot of the other people who were 38 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: doing a lot of the work during the civil rights movement, 39 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: we can begin to see progress, like real progress on 40 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: that book. You know, as we see that marathon, it continues. Yeah, 41 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: the bridge renaming obviously not the most important thing, you know, 42 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: I'm sure the things that he actually fought for would 43 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: be more important. But the bridge in Selma that he 44 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: marched over, the Pettis Bridge, is named after like a 45 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: KKK grand wizard or something, and a lot of people 46 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: were talking about how that needs to be renamed immediately 47 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 1: after him, which makes sense to me. Yeah, I would say, yeah, 48 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: if you put if that's a buyinary, I think it's 49 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: a pretty easy call on who word who we're picking 50 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: on that one, right, um. Nicki Minaj is trending because 51 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: she is pregnant with her first I believe she announced it. 52 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: Oh she And Okay, it wasn't like some TMZ like 53 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: she was walking with her hand on her belly, which means, 54 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: you know, like when used to do Bloyd Watch like 55 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: she's kind you got me worried.

I think he denied that he has 68 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: a deal with Trump in terms of how Facebook treats 69 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 1: the misinformation his campaign is going to be spreading, has 70 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: been spreading, is currently spreading as you listen to this. 71 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: But obviously he would deny that he went surfing in 72 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: kabuki makeup, which was a weird look for him. Man, 73 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: it's I I have found myself doing that because I've 74 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: recently found myself with a newfound respect for the power 75 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: and danger the all devouring beast that is the sun. 76 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: Uh And I have looked in the mirror and been like, oh, shoot, 77 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: I gotta gotta rub this in for another thirty minutes 78 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: because I look ridiculous.

If 99 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: it's just a fake image, whatever, exit is continues. That's 100 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: more and more people need to actually and not just 101 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: for July, like until they have this company just by 102 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 1: the throat and they're like, no, you knock it off. 103 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 1: With this proliferation of hate speech and misinformation, that's only 104 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: like no one is informed because of this. They're only 105 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: informed of new creative ways to look at their life 106 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: destructively and find ways to act on it. And Fox 107 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: News is trending for there's a new lawsuit that accuses 108 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity of sexual harassment, which is 109 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: maybe the least surprising revelation but still you know, should 110 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: be immediately dealt with and they should be fired and 111 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: their network should be taken off the air. But that 112 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: there's also the accusation so that there was there were 113 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: accusations made against Ed Henry that weren't really specified, but 114 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: he was immediately fired a few months back. Uh and 115 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: now the specifics what a producer uh at Fox Uh 116 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: has alleged that he raped her.

It's just I think this is prevalent anywhere. 122 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: It's not just limited to Fox, like you have. You 123 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: have people of a certain men mindset who believe they 124 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: can do whatever they want to or are just absolutely 125 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: have no respect for the agency of women.
