Oh okay, So the President signed a 46 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: ninety five billion dollar for an aid package for Ukraine, Israel, 47 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 1: and Taiwan into law.

The 56 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: case comes out of Grant's Past, Oregon, where it's illegal 57 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: to sleep in public spaces. A Ninth Circuit court struck 58 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: down the law as unconstitutional, and now Scotus must decide 59 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: whether they can make it illegal to sleep outside if 60 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: they have a choice to be somewhere else. 61 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,399 Speaker 4: And today the Supreme Court. 62 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: We'll hear arguments on presidential community criminal presidential immunity. While 63 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: the Court has already decided on civil immunity with Richard Nixon. 64 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's legal argument would be to extend civil immunity 65 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: to criminal And of course there's no president for this, 66 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: because we only have had one thuggish, ruggish bone unprecedented president. 67 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: And yes, Trump has said unprecedented y'all we don't trust 68 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: the system, right right, Okay, Tiff is on the fences. 69 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, well I didn't know. I didn't get no, amen, 70 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 4: it's I. 71 00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 6: Didn't want to. 72 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 5: I was waiting to see what the second part of 73 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 5: it was. 74 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: But for the record, she was worried about she should be. 75 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 4: Okay, And then y'all think it's been hard on us? Right? 76 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 3: Yeah? 77 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 5: Yes, now, I said us. 78 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: So I just want to know when in the entire 79 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: hell us started including Donald Trump, because I'm pretty sure 80 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: he is them. But we're going to ask the blacks, 81 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: and guess what, that's us. We're the blacks. We are 82 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: that focus group. So y'all stay tuned for that very partial, 83 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: yet persuasive focus group. We'll also brag on some Trump 84 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: trial updates and what do Google more House, NYU, Columbia, 85 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: and Yale have in common? They rich, they tug, and 86 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: we have a very very important Justice for Marilyn Moseby update. 87 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: And you know it's not home if we don't hear 88 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: from the NLP fan so count on it. 89 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 4: Let's go, Okay, Tiff and Andrews. 90 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: So this week, I know it's TIFF's favorite subject, but 91 00:04:58,920 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: we gotta go here. 92 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 4: We you're talking Donald Trump. 93 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: We are talking what has been named the hush money trial, 94 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: but is actually the falsifying business records in the first 95 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: degree trial. 96 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 4: There have been some updates. 97 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: From gag orders to David Pecker's testimony, and I think 98 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: that what's really important here is we've got a perspective 99 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: that you can't always. 100 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 4: Hear everywhere else. 101 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: So I love for us to talk about briefly our 102 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: perspectives on this particular case and what's at stake. 103 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 4: I'll say a little more. 104 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 3: I'll say a little more. 105 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 4: I mean, y'all were to sound. We all had no 106 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 4: sound from this trout. I ain't no sound from this trout. 107 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 5: And I'll let you there was some sound. But I 108 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 5: don't think we need to plan on this show. But 109 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 5: I do like what Mitt Romney said when he came 110 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 5: out and spoke to cameras and said, I think we've 111 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 5: all gotten to see a testament of Donald Trump's character. 112 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 5: And you don't pay somebody one hundred thirty thousand dollars 113 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 5: to not have sex with you, to pay it here, 114 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 5: But I think that sums it up well. 115 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 3: It's surprising that he paid the man. I mean that's 116 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 3: the one. This is the piece of Donald Trump's reputation. 117 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 3: Of course that Hillary Clinton pointed out several times. She 118 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 3: even went to New Jersey at one of his clothesed casinos, 119 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 3: because the man doesn't pay his bills. But in this instance, 120 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 3: first of all, last week we talked on the show 121 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 3: where he basically came out to cameras and said, Hey, 122 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 3: I had a lawyer, look at it. I paid a lawyer. 123 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 3: They told me to write it down as a campaign, 124 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 3: you know, and so that's what that's what I did. 125 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 3: So he said, admitted to having done it. What I 126 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 3: found stunning was the admission by the National Inquirer, yes, 127 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 3: of how they just wholesale went out and made up 128 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 3: stories about Trump's opponents to elevate Donald Trump, diminish his opponents, 129 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 3: and then stories where they have legit red meat dirt 130 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 3: on Donald Trump. They go out by the story kill 131 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 3: the story, a story that if put on the front 132 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 3: page of the National Inquirer, supported by an actual bonafide witness, 133 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 3: could actually sell more papers. So, when they were asked 134 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 3: by the prosecutors, was it in your interest, your paper's 135 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 3: interest to kill the Trump story? The founder rightly said 136 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 3: mister Pecker, No, it was not in our interests. Which 137 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 3: is what goes to the heart of this case, which 138 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 3: is why we are seeing him in court in the 139 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 3: first place, is that he used resources, could have bought 140 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 3: it himself, but he didn't. It would have been legal 141 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 3: for him to do himself, but he went through his lawyer. 142 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 3: They tried to off escape, they tried subterfuge, they tried secrecy, 143 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 3: they tried it all and now the man's been called 144 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 3: to the carpet and we'll just see if he's held accountable. 145 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 5: Well, I think a phrase that you hear a lot 146 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 5: in this trial is catch and kill, and so just 147 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 5: people understand what that is. That is when an entity, 148 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 5: an outlet, catches a story, assumingly buys a story, which 149 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 5: you know is an ethical in journalism. That's why people right, 150 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 5: and it's important to draw that distinction, right, because they 151 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 5: will buy a story which when you pay somebody for something, 152 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 5: it automatically puts it to question in terms of credibility, 153 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 5: and then kill the story. And that's what happened here. 154 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 5: I think it's also important to note who reads the 155 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 5: National Inquirer. These were people who were more likely to 156 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 5: vote for Donald Trump. These are people who forgive the 157 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 5: elitist nature of this comment, but these were people who 158 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 5: I dare say were not the most intellectually curious if 159 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 5: you're going to the National Inquirer for your news. And 160 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 5: this is how we hear from our latest star. Last 161 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 5: week we talked a bit about Stormy Daniels. This week 162 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 5: we're hearing another old name uh makes all these charges 163 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 5: and scandals, and that's Karen McDougal, the former Playboy model 164 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 5: who says she had an afear with Trump in two 165 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 5: thousand and six, and this was her whole case. She 166 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 5: sued the American Media Inc. Which you know, David Pecker's company, 167 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,719 Speaker 5: which owns National Inquirer, because they caught her story. They 168 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 5: bought her story, paid her I think one hundred and 169 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 5: fifty thousand dollars, and they were going to just do 170 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 5: away with it. She agreed to this because they agreed 171 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 5: to then write, let her write columns, and let her 172 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 5: be a model, but of course they never published anything 173 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 5: for her. I think it's also interesting that she was 174 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 5: talking about while she was a side chick, she met 175 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 5: Malania Trump, met Donald Trump's kids, walked past Baron's bedroom 176 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 5: and the weird stuff that she said. He said to her. 177 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 5: He talked about how much he loves Ivanka and how 178 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 5: beautiful she is, and he would tell her that she's 179 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 5: beautiful like his dog. This weird, crazy, creepy stuff, and 180 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 5: so to me, regardless of the outcome of this case, 181 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 5: it really does put before the American people. This is 182 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 5: the kind of person that seventy five million, mostly white 183 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 5: people are voting for because he allows them the freedom 184 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 5: to say the quiet part out loud. He allows them 185 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 5: to freedom to hold mostly white power and white control. 186 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 5: As the demographics of this country change, they would rather 187 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 5: see it burned to ashes before they saw power equally 188 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 5: distributed among the American body politic, which is a patchwork 189 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 5: of all types of people, from all types of socio 190 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 5: economic backgrounds, all types of hues. And it's sad to see. Really, 191 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 5: I know, Angela, I'll go ahead, No, go ahead, Andrew. 192 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 3: So Tiff. At least, at least none of us are 193 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 3: confused about why it is they keep showing up for 194 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 3: this man. This is yes, changing demographics, This is about power, 195 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 3: and I just think none of us should ever forget 196 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 3: what's at game here, even the ability for a man 197 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 3: to be able to talk to a owner of a paper, 198 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 3: get a story. 199 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 4: Keelled, how about that? 200 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 3: Get other stories that are not fact based whatsoever? Put 201 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 3: in the cycle. And the one thing about you know, 202 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 3: tabloids or tabloids, but some tabloids end up entering into 203 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 3: mainstream media. They may be the first one to go 204 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 3: that way, but they're the ones that make it a 205 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 3: public conversation that then others can then riff from. And 206 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 3: that's the power that this man had, and and Trump 207 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 3: zeroed in on it and took it for a ride. 208 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 5: Inside Edition said we were the outlet that everybody made 209 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 5: fun of, and then the cable news outlets became. 210 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 4: Lord, how about that? So here's the thing. 211 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 1: So David Pecker, as Tiff described, talked about this twenty 212 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: fifteen arrangement he had with Donald Trump. But more over, 213 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: which you just said, Tiff, which I think is really 214 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 1: important to our listening audience, is Donald Trump has had 215 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: the ability to say the quiet part out loud. However, 216 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: in this instance, in this trial, he has been reprimanded 217 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: for ten instances of violating the order. Turns out the 218 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: gag is up and he might not be able to 219 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: keep talking as he has been talking. 220 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 4: But on this since he's walked around immune. 221 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: We know that at the center of this trial really 222 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: is the intersection of white privilege and wealth privilege. And 223 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has escaped liability, escaped culpability because he's been 224 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: able to pay his way out of everything. And so 225 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: now whether or not he'll be able to continue the 226 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: end that privilege is before the Supreme Court of the 227 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: United States as they hear oral arguments in the presidential 228 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: immunity case. 229 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 4: Why is this different? 230 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: His defense team is referencing Richard Nixon versus Fitzgerald, where 231 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court ruled that a president is entitled to 232 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: civil immunity from litigation. 233 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 4: What they've never. 234 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 1: Had to decide upon, as I said in our rundown, 235 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: is whether or not presidents are immune from criminal liability. 236 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 4: And that is what is at play here. 237 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is saying that that immunity should apply to 238 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: his criminal conduct. How do y'all think the Supreme Court 239 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: is going to rule on this? They're just hearing oral arguments. 240 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 4: Now. 241 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: We know we won't hear this until likely around June 242 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: or July, But how do y'all think that they're gonna 243 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: be SciTE on this? 244 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 5: I have a question when you the law says that 245 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 5: a president is immune from civil immunity, what does that 246 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 5: mean exactly? That means that somebody cannot privately sue the 247 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 5: president while he's in office. That's right, Sonny, acts done 248 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 5: while he was in office, got it? So any suits 249 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 5: that existed before they took office would persist, and any 250 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 5: suits that happen after it just can't be okay. So then, 251 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 5: or I was gonna say, because Donald Trump was doing 252 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 5: all kinds of things while he was in office, I 253 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 5: was going to say, in the private sector, his children 254 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 5: the first year they were in office at Vanka and Jared, 255 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 5: I think made over eighty million dollars. I think that 256 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 5: first year. 257 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 3: So I wonder I think part of the distinction Tiff 258 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 3: and Angela, correct me if I'm wrong. I think part 259 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 3: of the distinction is is while you may be immune 260 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 3: from civil lawsuit while you serve as president for actions 261 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 3: that you take in the interests of the presidency thereby 262 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 3: the American people. 263 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: So acts that you. 264 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 3: Take that are individual. And this is the line this 265 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 3: man is trying to draw, right, Well, he's not trying 266 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 3: to draw the line at all. He's saying, basically, as 267 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 3: I am president, I'm a king. I'm immune regardless of 268 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 3: what I've done, whether it is in the interest or 269 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 3: in pursuit of my job as president, or whether it's 270 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 3: in my individual Donald Trump croning, crooning, whatever capacity is 271 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 3: the what is that stake right now with the court, 272 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 3: And I think it's It would even be a question 273 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 3: if this were civil. Matter has got to be whether 274 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 3: or not a president can be held responsible for acts 275 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 3: that are not consistent with his duties as a president 276 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 3: while he is serving as president. 277 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: And official of official action. 278 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 3: In this, man is basically saying, if I'm president is 279 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 3: official by right of title, anything I do is all right. 280 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 3: And the court, if the court goes that way we 281 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 3: said this before. If he goes out and he kills 282 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 3: his political enemy and then says I'm president and therefore 283 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 3: it must be legal this they have to take this 284 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 3: to the logical extreme possibilities, and nowhere on planet Earth 285 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 3: could it be true except in Russia with Putin? Can 286 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 3: you kill your political enemy and never face a consequence 287 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 3: for it because you happen to be the president? 288 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 5: Him saying like, because I'm president, whatever I do is legal. 289 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 5: This is definitely very reminiscent of Nixon, and it reminds 290 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 5: me of that infamous interview with Nixon and David Frost 291 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 5: where he's like, look, I'm the president, so whatever I did, 292 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 5: I think the scary thing that we collectively, no matter 293 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 5: what side of the divide you fall on here, this 294 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 5: is such a dangerous case, you know, because if the 295 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 5: Supreme Court of Scotus rules, if they affirm Trump's claims, 296 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 5: they will literally upset the separation of powers and usher 297 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 5: in this regime of lawlessness. Right, this is an existential 298 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 5: threat to America. And if that happens, this is not 299 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 5: what the framers intended. So for all the patriots out 300 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 5: there who love to draw up the founding fathers that 301 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 5: they think were these magical people, there is no case 302 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 5: that supports Trump's arguments that he's just immused. It's just unreal. 303 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 5: So you are unraveling uh centuries of American democracy, which 304 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 5: I think would cast a really dark shadow over the 305 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 5: rest of the globe. The symbolism of America is important 306 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 5: for world order. If that falls, I shudder to see 307 00:16:59,480 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 5: what happens. 308 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: Tip to your point, You're like, there there is no case. 309 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: There really is no case, like the idea, there's nothing 310 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: for them to harken back to, because there was a 311 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: point in time in this country, not long ago, where 312 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 1: even a tan suit was criminal in the in the 313 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: old way, you know what I mean. But there is 314 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 1: there is this this double, this triple, this quadruple standard 315 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: where you can escape just because you're highly popular. You 316 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: can escape because of your celebrity. You can escape because 317 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 1: of the number of people who live in their fear, 318 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,959 Speaker 1: who aspire to be like you. And this is the 319 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 1: indeed the problem. I am terrified about whether or not 320 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: this Supreme Court, the makeup of this Supreme Court, can 321 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:48,959 Speaker 1: remember that their obligation is to interpret the Constitution and 322 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: its intent for this country, not to protect this flamethrower. 323 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: You know, like your your obligation is not to protect 324 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: this reckless human being who will single handedly. And I 325 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: should stop saying that because I know better. I believe 326 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: what Harry Reid said when he said this was the 327 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: Republican Party's freak, itsign, not single handedly, but as a result, 328 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: it is building destroyed democracy. 329 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 4: And hard. 330 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: It's so hard every time I talk about the destruction 331 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 1: of democracy, because I know that this very broken system 332 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: hasn't served us, but it is the one we have. 333 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: It is the one that we have the ability to 334 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: repair unless we listen to Donald Trump. 335 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 3: Look, why do you have to lose? You're living in poverty, 336 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 3: your schools are no good, you have no jobs. 337 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 7: Fifty eight percent of your youth is unemployed. 338 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,479 Speaker 3: What the hell do you have to lose? 339 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 7: The black people are so much on my side now 340 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 7: because they see what's happening to me happens to them. 341 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 7: The mugshot. We've all seen the mugshot. And you know 342 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 7: who embraced it more than anybody. 343 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 3: Else, the black population. 344 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 7: It's incredible. You see black people walking around with my 345 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 7: mouth shut. I'm being indicted for you, the black population. 346 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 4: Chow wow. 347 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 8: You know what? 348 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 3: I remember when he said the first part. I'll get 349 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 3: to secondbout it in a minute, but the first part 350 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 3: where he's going down this list of what he considers 351 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 3: to be the eels that the black community in this 352 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 3: country were facing. This is back in twenty sixteen, these 353 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 3: campaign against Hillary. I don't remember the judgment Animus venom 354 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 3: that was in his voice when he was giving that 355 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:45,640 Speaker 3: This wasn't a person listing issues and solidarity with a plight. 356 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 3: This was a man from a Pejorada's standpoint, calling out 357 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 3: all the things that they say in their quiet places 358 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 3: about black folk. He's at a rally saying, y'all stink. 359 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 3: You sit on the corner and you wait for the bus, 360 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 3: you go to the groceryes. So what a plastic people 361 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 3: had wrap on your head? 362 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 8: You do? 363 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 9: You know? 364 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 3: He's going down all of the judgments that are made 365 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 3: by his folks and basically saying, you live in shit 366 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 3: and squalor what the hell else do you have to 367 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 3: lose by electing me? This was when usually people go 368 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 3: down a laundry list. It is in solidarity with no 369 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 3: one should have to face this. That ain't what he 370 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 3: did there. And I just picked it up listening at 371 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 3: that clip. I knew it was wrong from the moment 372 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 3: I heard it. But yeah, but the animus and the 373 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 3: venomous didn't come through quite the way that it did 374 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 3: just there. And then just one last point and I'll 375 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 3: give it up, which is to say, for those who 376 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 3: may think, why would you hold a president immune in 377 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 3: any at any point because they were president, let's just 378 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 3: understand that the law is based in something the president 379 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 3: is based in something real, which is you wouldn't want 380 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 3: a President Obama being sued by a bunch of different 381 00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 3: states or senators or Donald Trump's or whomever because he 382 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,719 Speaker 3: decided to pull troops out of Iraq. That is an 383 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 3: official act of the presidency. He is the commander in chief. 384 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 3: He executed that, but by doing so, maybe there were 385 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 3: some other consequences that fell from it. You don't want 386 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 3: a president being wrapped up and having a second thought, 387 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 3: second think every judgment decision they make as the executive 388 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 3: of the President of the United States, acting in fear 389 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 3: or trepidation because he may be sued while he's still president. 390 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 3: Those are called official acts, right. What he's trying to 391 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 3: do is extend this definition of official acts to say 392 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 3: anything that I do, any conduct that I have while 393 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 3: I'm President of the United States, I'm immune from it. 394 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 3: That ain't never been the law. And that is the 395 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 3: question that is before the Supreme Court. 396 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 1: That is the question that is before the Supreme Court. 397 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: But the question is before us. The Blacks have convened 398 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: their focus group is whether this is relatable to us, 399 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 1: not just what in the hell do we have to lose. 400 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: We know how much is on the line, we know 401 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: we're threatened, but with it every time we walk out 402 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: the door. But then he says that, like we're walking 403 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: around with his mugshot on. And then there are black 404 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: folks who have used their platforms they shall not be 405 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: named on this here podcast, but have used their platforms 406 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 1: at talking amongst families, saying that this is in fact relatable, 407 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: that we do know what it's like to be testing 408 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: and tried by the system, that it is reminiscent of 409 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: the government going after folks like they did doctor King 410 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 1: and Malcolm X. I am looking around, like where sway 411 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: and how sway? Because what I know is that this 412 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: same trial that we were just talking about, Like, what 413 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: happens if we violate a gago to y'all, we get 414 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: held in criminal contempt of court? What happens if we 415 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: pay off someone to do if we even have the 416 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: resources to pay off someone to not run a story 417 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: about us, What happens we already talked about tansuit, happens 418 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: if we wear a tan suit? Or what happens if 419 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: we get mad and say, for the first time in 420 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,479 Speaker 1: my adult life, I'm proud of my country Michelle in 421 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, Right, like, let's be very clear 422 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 1: about the fact that there are not a whole lot 423 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: of parallels here. The fact that you can speak to 424 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: our plight, as Andrew said, with disdain, does not make 425 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: you one of us. It does not make you us. 426 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: The system is not trying you. You're actually abusing the system. 427 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: Who among us could stand ten toes down with eighty 428 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: eight indictments and get three. 429 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 3: Discways for president and nominee again of one of two 430 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 3: major parties. 431 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 4: Tiff is swermy wormy, So I want to hear what's 432 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:29,479 Speaker 4: on her. 433 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 5: I'll be brief because I want us to get off Trump, 434 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 5: as you know, But I would just say Donald Trump 435 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 5: says Asen nine things all the time, and it's I 436 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 5: often said trying to cover him when he was in 437 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 5: office was like trying to catch confetti, because there was 438 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 5: some new stupid thing that he would put in the 439 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 5: atmosphere every day, be it tweet or you know, some 440 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 5: press conference he would hold. The disappointing part of this 441 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 5: is I think the lowest common denominator among us echoing 442 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 5: this message. And Angelae you said family talk, but the 443 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 5: thing is this was not family talk. This was somebody 444 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 5: going outside of family carrying the water for this half 445 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 5: witted politically inept president and carrying this message to people. 446 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 5: And I don't believe the people who say this would 447 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 5: ever say that to family. I think you say something 448 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 5: like that to get the adoration of white people, to 449 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 5: get the Ada boy from white people, and it just 450 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 5: I think makes people who are out there saying these 451 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 5: ignorant things. It makes you look like the small person 452 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 5: that you are. And I don't even mean in height 453 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 5: or stature, I mean in intellect and intelligence. And I 454 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 5: expect ignorance from some people. I'm not remotely interested in 455 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 5: somebody's political opinions on a large platform. You're tax paying citizen, 456 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 5: You have a right to vote, and you have a 457 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 5: right to your opinion. I just don't really care about it. 458 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 5: The disappointment I feel is when members of the media 459 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 5: elevate certain voices who really have no business weighing in 460 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 5: on such things. And I think that only happens within 461 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 5: our community. I can't remember somebody asking a white sports 462 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 5: commentator to weigh in on foreign policy or domestic policy, 463 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 5: and it just drives me a little nuts. So I 464 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 5: would just challenge the media, maybe do a little background 465 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 5: and consider who you're putting out there, and if you're 466 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 5: finding somebody that makes white people comfortable, then you're probably 467 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 5: you have the wrong voice. 468 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 3: If I take slight departure and I hear where you're 469 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 3: coming from, just on this piece around the resonance of 470 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 3: a mugshot and his tangling with the criminal justice system, 471 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 3: of the justice system so publicly in the way that 472 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 3: he has of late, and what residents that may have 473 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 3: with some black folk. Some of the names that we're 474 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,439 Speaker 3: not going to check. Some of the black folks Angela 475 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 3: you're alluding to who have given audience to this, who've 476 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 3: echoed this belief that he know us a little better 477 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 3: because he's gone through what we've gone through, are legit folks. 478 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 3: And I don't think they're just making it up. I 479 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 3: think they think that man, seeing this guy go through 480 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 3: this kind of lets them see out loud that white 481 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:11,880 Speaker 3: people go through it too. 482 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: Well. 483 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 3: Let's be clear, first of all, white folks have always 484 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 3: been entangled in the criminal justice system. They pre existed us. 485 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 3: We were property they you know, So that part is 486 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 3: not new. What is new here is obviously the way 487 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 3: he's trying to play us. I get that it would 488 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 3: be nice and relatable to have a president who has 489 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 3: some shared experiences, but let's not get it twisted. Trump 490 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 3: does not share our experience in any way, shape or 491 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 3: form as it relates to how black people encounter the 492 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 3: criminal justice system and how powerful white men I e. 493 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,120 Speaker 3: Donald Trump, encounter this system. And I feel this personally 494 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 3: because I've been there when I was accused and guided 495 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 3: and I had to surrender myself to the government a 496 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 3: day I will never forget, one that will live in 497 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 3: infamy for me. I showed up, and first things first 498 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 3: is I had to take a mug shot. When Donald 499 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 3: Trump showed up in New York for Alvin Bragg. There 500 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 3: was a fingerprint he was handed his indictment, but there 501 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,159 Speaker 3: was never a mug shot. The next thing that I 502 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 3: had to do was I got handcuffed not only by 503 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 3: my wrists, but then by a chain running down to 504 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,479 Speaker 3: my waist, and then a chain around my waist, and 505 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,679 Speaker 3: from my waist a chain going down to both my 506 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,959 Speaker 3: left and my right foot with two more handcuffs, and 507 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 3: I had to walk at the distance of a baby's 508 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 3: legs with because that's how constrained I was. Right, So 509 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 3: Donald Trump didn't have a handcuff on him. Let's get 510 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 3: that correct, and hadn't had one in any of the 511 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 3: surrendering that he's had to do around any of these cases. 512 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 3: When I was accused, I lost a bank, I lost 513 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 3: American Express and four credit cards associated with him with 514 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 3: a near eight hundred credit score. While Donald Trump, who 515 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 3: isn't just a que but was found responsible liable five 516 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 3: hundred plus million dollars, he got to pay and he 517 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 3: didn't lose nothing. He went and got two hundred almost 518 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 3: two hundred million dollars secured to back him up. So 519 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,439 Speaker 3: while he goes through appeal, right, that didn't happen for us, 520 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 3: didn't happen for me. I lost it, Yet this man 521 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 3: so so for money he legitimately owes. I was just accused. Right, 522 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 3: we beat their asses, and in his case, I think 523 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 3: he's going down. My only point here is, do not 524 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 3: get it twisted just because the man is purping like 525 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 3: he has a relationship and understands our plight. One, you 526 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 3: misunderstand us. One because all of us don't have that 527 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 3: lived experience. Number Two, you misunderstand us, and actually you're 528 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 3: not trying to understand us, because this is never about 529 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 3: a system. It's always about Donald Trump. This is not 530 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 3: about how people are treated in the criminal justice system. 531 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 3: This is about how Donald Trump is being treated in 532 00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 3: the criminal justice system. His level of privilege, no matter 533 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 3: how why he is, is not privileged that I would 534 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 3: believe is extended to all white folks. It is extended 535 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 3: to him at his level of power and influence. And 536 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 3: his grievance is only with the way he's being treated. 537 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 3: He is not dismantling a system for the corruption of 538 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 3: a system. He wants to dismantle a system, but because 539 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 3: of the way in which he has been treated in 540 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 3: that system, not because how you and I fare in 541 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 3: that system. He can't even dream of how to relate 542 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 3: to a criminal justice system that treats him the way 543 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 3: it treats us. 544 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it's a word. 545 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: It is such a word. And Andrew, I thank you 546 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: for your vulnerability and sharing it. I think that it 547 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: has been a point of privilege for us to have 548 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: you free. 549 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 5: Some started. He's getting some started. 550 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 4: But like it didn't have it didn't have to be 551 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 4: that way. 552 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: Like the thing that is so alarming and unnerving about 553 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: what he's saying is it literally is a slap in 554 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: the face for everyone who is fighting with everything they have, 555 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: with every dime they have with every ounce of energy 556 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: they have as they contemplate whether they should be here 557 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: or not. That is a completely different battle that he 558 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: has never faced, that he has no idea about. So 559 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: any moment, in any moment where we are, you know, 560 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: kind of confused, Like something that he's saying sounds right, 561 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: the unjust system sounds right. 562 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 4: It rings true to me. I want you to take. 563 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: A moment to tap in with someone who has experienced 564 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: the other side of the criminal justice system and ask 565 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: them what their journey was like, because it didn't look 566 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: like his. 567 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 4: That is the part for me. 568 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: And as much as like I'm tired of talking about 569 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: him too, Tim, I think that we have an. 570 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 4: Obligation to our people to just take a beat. 571 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: Sometimes and remind us all why what he says is 572 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: so triggering, why it is both infuriating because we know 573 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: what he means and what our experience is and how 574 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: he's using it to juxtapose it against and lean up 575 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: against our actual struggle fake in the face of a 576 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: fake foe struggle, Like how dare you use what our 577 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 1: people have been through, how they've sacrificed their lives for righteousness, 578 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: for justice and throw that in our faces as you 579 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: are like able to just escape scott free all the time, 580 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: you know, like that. 581 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 4: Is the part for me. 582 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: And so I just want to tap in with my 583 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: brother for a minute to say I am so glad 584 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: that you leaned on faith and you leaned into courage 585 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: and you were able to take this on and you 586 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: were successful. That is not always our testimony, you know, 587 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: it is one in a million, Andrew like, normally the 588 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: FEDS prosecute, the FEDS win, They bank on that and 589 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: even when it is false, when it is wrongful, and 590 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is not, you don't get eighty eight indictments 591 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: wrong at every level of government. 592 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 4: That just don't happen. 593 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 5: Well, can I just tap in on something because I 594 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 5: hear you Angela about talking about Trump. I just think 595 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 5: you know what we get to do here is have 596 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 5: a different lens that you don't hear on cable news. 597 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 5: But we are also overlooking news. You know, there was 598 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 5: a piece in the New York Times this morning right 599 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 5: on target what we're talking about about the disproportionate number 600 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 5: of botched executions that impact black men directly. This man 601 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 5: is not worried. Donald Trump is not worried about that 602 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 5: is not his life. That's not his testimony. Andrew, your 603 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 5: testimony is harrowing, for sure. There's also testimony of people 604 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 5: who had swat crashed through their house, break open their windows, 605 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 5: harm their children from their mothers, their daughter, the you know, 606 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 5: red dog police teams in Atlanta, and with what they did, 607 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 5: and then the name of justice of targeting parents who 608 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 5: lost children. That is what our criminal justice system looks like. 609 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 5: So I just challenged the media at large to not 610 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 5: turn this into a reality show with wall to wall 611 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 5: coverage while overlooking things that can still speak to these issues, 612 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 5: but don't give him the attention that he soul craves 613 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 5: and desires. 614 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 3: And the media ain't interested in that larger narrative that 615 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 3: we're talking about, right they. 616 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 5: That's why Native landa. 617 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 3: Donald Trump ain't here for it either. And that's why 618 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 3: we have to as as as gut wrenching and mind 619 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 3: numbing it is to have to talk about this guy. 620 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 3: It's important because the story, if we allowed his story 621 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 3: and his his his his embrace of us to go 622 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 3: unchallenged just because it has a resemblance a very a 623 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 3: very shadowy resemblance. Because you threw criminal justice out there 624 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 3: in a mugshot that somehow you understand this thing, and 625 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:10,280 Speaker 3: your point is well taken to the story. The harrowing 626 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 3: experiences of people go so deep, so many places within 627 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 3: our community with regards to our confrontation with law and 628 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,720 Speaker 3: justice and our mistrust of it. That this like again, 629 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 3: just just know this man ain't he ain't even not 630 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 3: on the page. He ain't in the book. He's not 631 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 3: in the book we're reading. 632 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 4: Well now, we just spend so much time on him. 633 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,760 Speaker 1: To take a break, you know, y'all we got bills 634 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 1: to pay because, unlike Donald Trump, we can't escape this. 635 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:54,279 Speaker 1: All right, Well, after much debate, we've decided that you're 636 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: also going to ban TikTok from our episode today. We 637 00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 1: don't have enough time. Well, we're gonna talk about it, 638 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 1: and said, is HB to use? They don't always get 639 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 1: enough coverage? 640 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 4: And you are right, brother, I'm good. 641 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 3: You know you always always have children. 642 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,279 Speaker 1: I love my niece and nephews, but Jesus always keeping. 643 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 4: My brother sick. 644 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 1: Joe Biden was invited to deliver the commencement speech at 645 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:22,359 Speaker 1: Morehouse College and it is being met with mixed reviews. 646 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 6: The timing is bad, I mean it would almost be 647 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 6: like inviting Linda Johnson to come and speak at Morehouse 648 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 6: at the height of the Vietnam War. 649 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 10: Mitchell is a civil rights attorney with the Council on 650 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:36,359 Speaker 10: American Islamic Relations and is himself Muslim. He graduated from 651 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 10: Morehouse in two thousand and nine. Until speaking out against 652 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 10: justice is woven into the fabric of the Storage. 653 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 6: School, I do expect that there will be a vocal 654 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,320 Speaker 6: outcry about this, But I do think in the spirit 655 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,440 Speaker 6: of more House in the history moreuse, it will be respectful, 656 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 6: It'll be intelligent, it will be affected. 657 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: We wouldn't expect anything less. But y'all, this is it 658 00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 1: is interesting timing. And the most students, folks on the 659 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:06,720 Speaker 1: faculty and alums have something to say about Joe Biden 660 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: delivering the commencement speech in the middle of what's happening 661 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,399 Speaker 1: in Gaza. 662 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 5: Well, I think this is clearly a campaign ploy. I 663 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 5: think they are paying attention to. I believe the false 664 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,919 Speaker 5: media narrative that Joe Biden is losing support among black men. 665 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 5: And I wonder if more House invited the President or 666 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,760 Speaker 5: if the President offered Hiden. 667 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 4: In September, but he just he just said yes. 668 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 5: Which is but we don't think anybody from the well, 669 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:35,319 Speaker 5: I don't know, I don't know. I don't eve want 670 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 5: to speculate. 671 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 4: I don't know. 672 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 3: I got an experience of what you're talking about. 673 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 5: I hear you right right, I mean I think you 674 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 5: know it benefits him, just for our listeners who may 675 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,839 Speaker 5: not be as familiar with Morehouse. I mean, this is 676 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:54,320 Speaker 5: very much is like the Ivy League of HBCU's previous speakers. 677 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,360 Speaker 5: Wes Moore was a commencement speaker for black Governor of Maryland. 678 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 5: Raphael Warnock is a previous commencement speaker. We all remember 679 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 5: when billionaire Robert Smith was the commencement speaker and paid 680 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 5: off everybody loans. Yes, yes, President Obama spoke there in 681 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 5: twenty thirteen. So the young men who attend Morehouse College 682 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 5: are some of the best and the brightest. And that 683 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,839 Speaker 5: some names you would know, Bacari Sellers, Mark Lamont Hill, 684 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,799 Speaker 5: our friend Albert Sanders, he hates when I talk about him, 685 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 5: but I'll just say he went to Morehouse and Sirmichael Singleton, Republican. 686 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 5: You see him there. So they have a very Distinguishedst. 687 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,239 Speaker 5: Martin Luther King of course went to Morehouse so I'll 688 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 5: be interested in hearing how President Biden connects with the students. 689 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 5: I think he has to be aware that it will 690 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,839 Speaker 5: not be a completely warm reception. I think we can 691 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,360 Speaker 5: expect anticipat seeing protests, and I wonder how those protests 692 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 5: will show up during his remarks. But this is something 693 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,840 Speaker 5: that I have to say. We try to tell you 694 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 5: you cannot convince an oppressed people that other people are 695 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 5: not being oppressed. We are the best at recognizing it, 696 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 5: and so I I just I wonder what their plan is, 697 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,920 Speaker 5: because this bridge is their domestic policy and foreign policy 698 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,279 Speaker 5: that very few people support. I don't know. Angela is 699 00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 5: so disgusted by it that she is slapping herself with 700 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 5: a face. She can't take it. 701 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 4: You emagine on my lip you didn't see that. It 702 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,400 Speaker 4: was like a little fruit flap, like what the hell? 703 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 4: And it's like sticky. 704 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,279 Speaker 5: I know that feel. I had that feeling when you 705 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 5: wearing them juicy tubes and you're like, what is laying 706 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 5: on my lip? I don't like is that that pete sparkles. 707 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 3: It's just best to ignore it when it happens. Just 708 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 3: literally not talking about that. I'm talking about when when 709 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 3: does what it does just be like, no, that didn't 710 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 3: go in. 711 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,920 Speaker 5: There Ala this guy. So she was like this looks up. 712 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 5: She was beating herself in the base like Angela is passionate. 713 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 5: Please Angela, you say your remarks on this moral thing. 714 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 3: Tiffany, I think I agree. He's lucky that this is 715 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:07,359 Speaker 3: morehouse in this since I think I think this will 716 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 3: be a very organized If there's a protest, it will 717 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,879 Speaker 3: be it will be incredibly respectful. And I'll just say 718 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,320 Speaker 3: I I think it will be a one reception overall 719 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 3: for him here because I think, yeah, because largely they're 720 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 3: going to talk about issues that confront black folks written 721 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:28,240 Speaker 3: large and I think the White House probably didn't deeply 722 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:34,280 Speaker 3: contemplate how international affairs might intersect with this visit. But 723 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,799 Speaker 3: but but we know that it will. Speaking of people 724 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 3: who invited themselves, when I was stud by President fam 725 00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 3: you Jeff Bush invited himself. Isn't known it is it 726 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 3: was said he was invited to be Famuse commencement speaker, 727 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:52,920 Speaker 3: and no, the real story was he invited himself. Had 728 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:57,400 Speaker 3: the president it would have been my graduation and of 729 00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:01,320 Speaker 3: course hail No, it wasn't innounced that student body president 730 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,400 Speaker 3: that if Jeb Bush accepted the invitation to be Famus 731 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 3: commencement speaker, that the students of FAM you and the 732 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 3: grad led by the graduates would stand up, turn our 733 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,319 Speaker 3: backs and walk out on him. It would have been hell. 734 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 4: Is he didn't he. 735 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:14,720 Speaker 5: Just drop off the face of the earth. 736 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:16,719 Speaker 3: I mean, as far as I can, he could fall 737 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,319 Speaker 3: all the way off the earth. In that case, all 738 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 3: I'm just saying. 739 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,759 Speaker 1: Is he means figuratively. For those of you that might 740 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 1: think that that's yeah, I mean. 741 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, he just you know, it all works. But but 742 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,920 Speaker 3: I think they they have not really, in my opinion, 743 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 3: fully appreciated how deep this this this divide is in 744 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 3: America generationally, particularly as a relation to the the Israeli 745 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 3: UH and Palestinian conflict. The folks here, young, Jewish, non Jewish, black, white, 746 00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:02,319 Speaker 3: everything in between. They they know right from wrong. And 747 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 3: when they see children, women, family spokes who did not 748 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 3: wage war, would not want for war. They just happen 749 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 3: to live in a war zone and are and are 750 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:21,760 Speaker 3: living through that under the hostageship of Hamas every single 751 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,799 Speaker 3: day in and outside of conflict with with with with 752 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:31,400 Speaker 3: Israel for them to pay the price for the actions 753 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,880 Speaker 3: of terrorists to the tune of some thirty plus thousand. 754 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:40,319 Speaker 3: Now there's no humanity in that. That's right, and this 755 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,359 Speaker 3: and this generation of folks is that they're like democrat, 756 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,239 Speaker 3: I don't care who you are. Wrong's wrong, and we're 757 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 3: not down for this. Something's got to happen, something's got 758 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:49,840 Speaker 3: to change. 759 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,600 Speaker 5: And it's I mean everywhere. 760 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:53,640 Speaker 4: That's exactly right. 761 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:58,760 Speaker 1: So, speaking of respectful and peaceful protests, students are speaking 762 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 1: of and they are loud, and they are clear. They 763 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 1: are not just online, they are on campus, you know, 764 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 1: speaking of respectful protests. What we know is the students 765 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,800 Speaker 1: have something to say, especially on what's happening in Gaza. 766 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 1: There are it's not just more house. It's not just 767 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 1: on TikTok there's about to be banned potentially. It's not 768 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 1: just on social it's all over campuses throughout this country. 769 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:27,800 Speaker 1: What's really been in the media lately are Columbia, mostly Yale, NYU, MIT, 770 00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 1: University of Michigan, California State, Berkeley, and many others. And 771 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,120 Speaker 1: what I think is so important is that folks are 772 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 1: kind of talking about this like student protests are. 773 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,800 Speaker 4: In a vacuum. They've been largely peaceful. 774 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,880 Speaker 1: Of course, There's been some conflicts, some folks on extreme 775 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,720 Speaker 1: sides of the issue, but this is not new. Students 776 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 1: have been protesting on college campuses since the beginning of time. 777 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 1: Andrew just referenced his time as Student Government Association president 778 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:02,200 Speaker 1: at FAMU. What he didn't say is he also was 779 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,239 Speaker 1: protesting in the governor's office while at fam You. 780 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,360 Speaker 3: Angeline, what's your best one?

What you see in that clip and hearing 814 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,680 Speaker 1: that clip is a young woman, a young Jewish woman 815 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:09,480 Speaker 1: on campus who's saying, I understand the inflammatory rhetoric. What 816 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:13,360 Speaker 1: I'm talking about is our First Amendment right to peacefully assemble, 817 00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:18,160 Speaker 1: and that can include protest for whatever reason. What is 818 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,719 Speaker 1: starting to happen now, and y'all have seen this is 819 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:25,920 Speaker 1: anarchy is being conflated with anti Semitism, is being conflated 820 00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,400 Speaker 1: with protests, and I want to talk really about the 821 00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,880 Speaker 1: dangers of those things and how they are all separate. 822 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,960 Speaker 1: If this young sister could stand here and say I'm 823 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 1: standing in solidarity with this because not on my watch, 824 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:42,120 Speaker 1: why does her voice not matter? Is she herself an 825 00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,600 Speaker 1: anti Semite for standing with folks who are saying I 826 00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:48,640 Speaker 1: don't want to see innocent children and people killed because 827 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:53,360 Speaker 1: of what Hamas has done in Israel and Gayza. 828 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:56,560 Speaker 3: Right, and Hamas again a terrorist organization by the United 829 00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 3: States who has overthrown pretty much the power of the 830 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:06,239 Speaker 3: Palestinian authority, which is the actual governing body and leadership 831 00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:14,840 Speaker 3: over the Palestinian territory. Hamas a terrorist group who obviously 832 00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:20,040 Speaker 3: undertook those horrific murders and attack on Israel, which none 833 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,840 Speaker 3: of us, not even the protesters at least, none of 834 00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,160 Speaker 3: the ones I've heard from and that I know, would 835 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:29,640 Speaker 3: condone this is Angela. I'm so glad you're My big 836 00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,799 Speaker 3: frustration here is that it seems, if you are protesting 837 00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 3: in humanity or war, that somehow that makes you anti 838 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:43,759 Speaker 3: a group of people based off of their religion, the 839 00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:51,600 Speaker 3: color of their skin, their nation of ancestral or heritage. 840 00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,759 Speaker 3: It would be one thing if you were saying I 841 00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:58,719 Speaker 3: hate Israel and I hate Jews. That is antisemitic, that 842 00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:02,279 Speaker 3: is hateful, that is racis that is wrong. It is 843 00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,640 Speaker 3: another thing to say that you hate war or you 844 00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:10,200 Speaker 3: hate war and the consequences that are right now being 845 00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:15,799 Speaker 3: had havocked over the people, the innocent lives and the 846 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,520 Speaker 3: Palestinian authority in Palestine. I don't mind referring to it 847 00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:23,560 Speaker 3: is that, even though it is not yet recognized, it 848 00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:27,080 Speaker 3: is fine in my opinion to be for in fact, 849 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,520 Speaker 3: every one of us should be abhorring that kind of 850 00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,360 Speaker 3: loss of life, every single one of us. This is 851 00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 3: what Governor DeSantis and Florida had to say the inmates 852 00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:43,000 Speaker 3: run the asylum, criticizing pro Palestinian protests happening on college 853 00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:46,160 Speaker 3: campuses in the state of Florida. He goes further to 854 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:52,160 Speaker 3: say students should be expelled for protests and if you 855 00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,239 Speaker 3: are at a university here in the United States on 856 00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:59,640 Speaker 3: a visa, that visa should be canceled by the government. 857 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 3: If you participate in protests. So just a quick note 858 00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,520 Speaker 3: for the governor and those who think like him. First 859 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,440 Speaker 3: Amendment of the United States Congress shall make no laws 860 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:13,440 Speaker 3: respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, 861 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:17,560 Speaker 3: or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, 862 00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:21,680 Speaker 3: or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and 863 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,880 Speaker 3: to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. I 864 00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,239 Speaker 3: know that was boring text, but that is the Constitution 865 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,520 Speaker 3: of the United States, the First Amendment. These people don't 866 00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:34,560 Speaker 3: even believe in the First Amendment when it runs county, 867 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:36,759 Speaker 3: so when it runs counter to what it is that 868 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,800 Speaker 3: they believe. And for y'all who keep talking smack trash 869 00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:45,800 Speaker 3: about protests interrupting your lives, if it ain't interrupting your lives, 870 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:47,760 Speaker 3: it is likely not protests. 871 00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's important for us to understand. Beyond 872 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:56,080 Speaker 1: the college protests, there are also folks inside organizations, big 873 00:48:56,160 --> 00:49:01,000 Speaker 1: organizations like Google that also have taken history issue with 874 00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:07,280 Speaker 1: what's happening in Gaza. Some employees have protested an Israeli 875 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:13,680 Speaker 1: contract of Google, and Google responded by terminating those who protested. 876 00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:17,760 Speaker 1: It's now more than fifty people who have been fired. 877 00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:24,200 Speaker 1: They're saying that Google is quote no place for politics, 878 00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:24,880 Speaker 1: gonna fool me. 879 00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,759 Speaker 12: I was fired about a month ago. 880 00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,200 Speaker 5: This is Eddie Hatfield. He lost his job last month 881 00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:34,200 Speaker 5: after disrupting an Israeli tech conference that Google sponsored and. 882 00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:41,239 Speaker 8: I refuse to build technology that powers genocide. It was 883 00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:45,120 Speaker 8: sickening to see Google's name all over the walls of 884 00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:49,200 Speaker 8: that room while speakers come up and use genocidal, violent 885 00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:53,160 Speaker 8: language to refer to Palestinians. That room is a place 886 00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,840 Speaker 8: where they're making decisions about how this technology gets used, 887 00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,919 Speaker 8: but not everyone who's affected by those decisions is get 888 00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:01,640 Speaker 8: let's to have a voice in that room, that being 889 00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:03,120 Speaker 8: the people being bombed. 890 00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:06,640 Speaker 12: By AI systems in Gaza, people moving between checkpoints in 891 00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:11,560 Speaker 12: the West Bank and beyond. When when this technology eventually 892 00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:13,440 Speaker 12: gets exported. 893 00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:13,720 Speaker 3: All over the world. 894 00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I don't I think that we really are 895 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:21,120 Speaker 1: at this interesting crossroads where and you know those moments 896 00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,200 Speaker 1: like when Congressman Barbara Lee was on the House floor 897 00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:26,680 Speaker 1: and she was the lull like the loan. 898 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:27,600 Speaker 4: We were just. 899 00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,040 Speaker 5: Talking about that, you know, we were waiting, Yeah, we 900 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,200 Speaker 5: were just talking about the courage of Barbara. 901 00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,840 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like saying this is not the war and 902 00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:37,840 Speaker 1: then come to find out people are like what happens 903 00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:38,560 Speaker 1: in mass destrection? 904 00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:39,280 Speaker 4: Where are they? 905 00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,040 Speaker 1: You don't want to find yourself on the wrong side 906 00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:45,200 Speaker 1: of history. There are are student protests again from the 907 00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:50,520 Speaker 1: beginning of time, trying to ensure that we never betray 908 00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:53,360 Speaker 1: our moral compass in this country. Where will we stand 909 00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:56,360 Speaker 1: even in tough times? Where where were we stand on courage? 910 00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,640 Speaker 1: Where we stand when we see what what folks are 911 00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:03,120 Speaker 1: up with against? You know, these young people dying, these 912 00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:07,560 Speaker 1: innocent people dying, starving, can't make it to hospitals, don't 913 00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,520 Speaker 1: know how they're going to see their next where they're 914 00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:11,600 Speaker 1: going to see their next meal? 915 00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:14,399 Speaker 4: Like this is a really I don't know. I think 916 00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:15,440 Speaker 4: that the way that this is. 917 00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:18,640 Speaker 1: Being handled, both in corporate and on college campuses is 918 00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:19,320 Speaker 1: just wrong. 919 00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:23,360 Speaker 5: But the root of the problem is is our foreign policy. 920 00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,800 Speaker 5: You know, what we are seeing take place in Gaza 921 00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:30,000 Speaker 5: is collective punishment. You know, it is hard for you 922 00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,080 Speaker 5: to try to convince me it's not. That is an 923 00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:35,000 Speaker 5: international war crime. Mark Lamont Hill have to give it 924 00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,920 Speaker 5: to them. He did an amazing interview on Al Jazeera 925 00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,880 Speaker 5: where he was really cornering government officials saying, but you 926 00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:44,200 Speaker 5: are punishing all these people. We've seen grandmothers, grandmother's with 927 00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,200 Speaker 5: their hands up like this, shot dead. We've seen children 928 00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:52,560 Speaker 5: and starving, a mother holding her two year old. Biden said, 929 00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:56,160 Speaker 5: if they kill Americans, then we have an issue. Well, 930 00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,880 Speaker 5: they've killed Americans. We have crossed that red line at 931 00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,480 Speaker 5: this point. And I don't think American life is any 932 00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:06,040 Speaker 5: more valuable than Palestinian life. We are seeing murder. We 933 00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,160 Speaker 5: are seeing murder, and we have to start calling it 934 00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,080 Speaker 5: what it is. And I see time and again on 935 00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:14,960 Speaker 5: media interviews with a lot of young Jewish students who 936 00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,279 Speaker 5: are on another side of the divide and saying, yes, 937 00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,200 Speaker 5: it is anti Semitism, and we're, you know, on the 938 00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:21,879 Speaker 5: receiving end of this, And my thought is I get 939 00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,120 Speaker 5: so angry you got I mean really to the point 940 00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,719 Speaker 5: where it crushes my mental health for today, where I 941 00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,440 Speaker 5: find myself consumed by it, because I want to shout 942 00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:33,320 Speaker 5: where the are the Palestinian students who are harassed every day, 943 00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:37,120 Speaker 5: the Muslims who are harassed, the policies that impact them, 944 00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:40,000 Speaker 5: And if you just put out one voice, you might 945 00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:43,200 Speaker 5: start to think, oh, all these Jewish students are getting harassed. 946 00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,040 Speaker 5: You never hear from the Jewish students on the other 947 00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,719 Speaker 5: side who are saying, hey, we stand in solidarity with you. 948 00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,959 Speaker 5: We don't support what's happening over there. So Mike push 949 00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:51,480 Speaker 5: to young. 950 00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:52,320 Speaker 4: Young her out there today. 951 00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,000 Speaker 5: Thank you Angela for planning that sound bite.

First, I want to say kudos 956 00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,400 Speaker 5: to this young man at Google, and kudos to everybody 957 00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,840 Speaker 5: out there making their voices heard. Kudos to the people 958 00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:14,560 Speaker 5: at the Columbia Daily Spectator, the Young j School students there, 959 00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:18,080 Speaker 5: you know jeln and Cobb dean of the Jay School 960 00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:20,880 Speaker 5: over there, who tweeted out if you're being denied access, 961 00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,880 Speaker 5: you know, DM me, I'll make sure the press has access. 962 00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,799 Speaker 5: Bear witness, tell your story, speak out. Don't be the 963 00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,279 Speaker 5: last person to speak out, you know, don't be the 964 00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:32,120 Speaker 5: last person when it becomes cool to say, oh, this 965 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:34,000 Speaker 5: is a problem, like you have skin in the game, 966 00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:37,760 Speaker 5: and right now this machine that silences you, that says 967 00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,520 Speaker 5: you have a different point of view being run. But 968 00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:42,680 Speaker 5: we don't have time to get into it. But I 969 00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:44,920 Speaker 5: want people to look at net and Yahoo's cabinet. I 970 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,120 Speaker 5: want you to look at the backgrounds of the people 971 00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:49,600 Speaker 5: that this man is empowered. Look at his own record, 972 00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:54,239 Speaker 5: the way he disrespected the United States during Obama's administration, 973 00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:58,160 Speaker 5: the way he disrespects President Biden to this day, the 974 00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:02,560 Speaker 5: way that Israeli's are calling on his resignation. To Angelo's point, 975 00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:06,839 Speaker 5: we cannot conflate protest with anarchy or. 976 00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:11,839 Speaker 4: Or the Israeli government with Jewish the same thing. 977 00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:13,160 Speaker 5: It's not the same. 978 00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:17,280 Speaker 1: It's so dangerous, it is so dangerous, it is so harmful. 979 00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:19,960 Speaker 1: We are not anti Semitic, because we are not going 980 00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:25,880 Speaker 1: to support that. The the white supremacist Israeli government like that. 981 00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:26,719 Speaker 4: We have to make a. 982 00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:32,640 Speaker 3: Decision government correct. A man who had intelligence, by the way, 983 00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:37,279 Speaker 3: plenty of it prior to the seventh prior to could 984 00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:41,399 Speaker 3: have helped, could have prevented right what occurred on that day, 985 00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:46,160 Speaker 3: could have extracted even more hostages up to this point, 986 00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:49,239 Speaker 3: which is what the families are calling for. Bring our 987 00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:53,840 Speaker 3: loved ones home. But he has assuaged. He's sidestepped bringing 988 00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,719 Speaker 3: home hostages so that he can continue to persecute, an 989 00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:04,080 Speaker 3: un unhumane war to annihilate a group of people, right, 990 00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:07,560 Speaker 3: he wants to extinguish. And what bothers me the most 991 00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:11,760 Speaker 3: is that folks are making no distinction between the terrorists 992 00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:20,400 Speaker 3: of Hamas and the people of I said Palestinian authority before, 993 00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:22,400 Speaker 3: because that's the governing body, But of the people of 994 00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:27,880 Speaker 3: Palestine yet to be named, who are just living their lives, 995 00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:31,360 Speaker 3: or at least trying to Jose undressed in his group, 996 00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:35,719 Speaker 3: who had clearly labeled vehicles that they were there for 997 00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:41,520 Speaker 3: humanitarian purposes, who had coordinated their movements with the Israeli 998 00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:49,160 Speaker 3: Defense ministry, who had three vehicles systematically taken out in 999 00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:52,080 Speaker 3: innocent people who were just trying to feed starving people 1000 00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:57,120 Speaker 3: in Gaza killed. Right, there's nothing which way around this way, 1001 00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:59,880 Speaker 3: this word, in the way it is being persecuted, that 1002 00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,799 Speaker 3: is right.

If we can stand 1023 00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:14,719 Speaker 1: in solidarity with these folks to say, you know what, 1024 00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:16,640 Speaker 1: not on our watch.

And 1032 00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:43,040 Speaker 3: simply because we disagree with each other, we want to 1033 00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:49,000 Speaker 3: squash out free opinion, protest people's ability to peaceably assemble. 1034 00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:54,720 Speaker 3: And I've got too many Jewish friends, too many who 1035 00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:58,919 Speaker 3: I know to a fact would never ever, ever want 1036 00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:03,000 Speaker 3: to look back and be reflected in history as having 1037 00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:08,120 Speaker 3: stamped out free speech simply because we disagree. 1038 00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:11,400 Speaker 5: And just for this package, I just wanted to really 1039 00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:13,840 Speaker 5: drive his point home because I think Andrew you said it, 1040 00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:16,360 Speaker 5: but we kind of moved past it. This would be 1041 00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:20,640 Speaker 5: this package in like aid to Gaza and then weapons. 1042 00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,920 Speaker 5: It would be the equivalent of a foreign power sending 1043 00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,760 Speaker 5: a million dollars in aid to the enslaved while sending 1044 00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:32,400 Speaker 5: billions of weapons to the Confederacy.

So I don't know who's saying it, 1061 00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:34,600 Speaker 4: I'll fly away. Who did that? Was that haze Ky Walker? 1062 00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:37,200 Speaker 3: Now I don't know, but those movements were pretty hip 1063 00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:37,640 Speaker 3: hop fish. 1064 00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:41,320 Speaker 4: Oh it's too early, you know, it's two seconds. 1065 00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:42,280 Speaker 3: It was of the world. 1066 00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:46,000 Speaker 1: I remember there was a pastor that said, when you know, Kirk, 1067 00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:48,640 Speaker 1: go Jesus, go Jesu, let's go. 1068 00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:50,440 Speaker 4: To pass that. How you gonna tell Jesus to go? 1069 00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:52,280 Speaker 4: So there's always gonna be a reason for something. 1070 00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:55,960 Speaker 1: But in the meantime, I'm talking about flying away because 1071 00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:59,280 Speaker 1: American is trying to restrict your ability to do just that. 1072 01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:02,640 Speaker 4: Can Airlines said, not on my watch. 1073 01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:05,920 Speaker 1: If you don't book on my app, called my customer service, 1074 01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:07,400 Speaker 1: that you might not be able to get through. 1075 01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:10,600 Speaker 4: You ain't getting no miles, which y'all think about that. 1076 01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:12,280 Speaker 5: First of all, I didn't know we were in the show. 1077 01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:13,080 Speaker 5: I thought we were just. 1078 01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:20,920 Speaker 1: Talking gospel song because that was a thinking about flying. 1079 01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:23,280 Speaker 4: And so you know how my brain works, I gotta 1080 01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:26,080 Speaker 4: always harken back to a song gospel. 1081 01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:30,760 Speaker 5: It up about to make the audience suffering gospel. So 1082 01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:33,520 Speaker 5: this is what I have to say about that. I 1083 01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:35,960 Speaker 5: just got off an American Airlines flight, so it's very 1084 01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:40,920 Speaker 5: apropos and timely. I'm so over these airlines. Okay, the 1085 01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:46,400 Speaker 5: three largest carriers in the United States sponsorship. I love 1086 01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:50,680 Speaker 5: American Airlines except for this really big problem I have 1087 01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:54,360 Speaker 5: right now. Except for this tiny little problem American Airlines. No, 1088 01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:57,480 Speaker 5: I think that the three largest carriers in the United 1089 01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:00,600 Speaker 5: States have turned a profit. You know, there were things 1090 01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:04,480 Speaker 5: that happened during COVID where you know airlines because they 1091 01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:08,880 Speaker 5: mishandled and misappropriated funds before that that they found themselves 1092 01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:11,280 Speaker 5: with their pants down during COVID, and so everything was 1093 01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:14,200 Speaker 5: tight and you know, people, you could fly to California 1094 01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:20,600 Speaker 5: for twenty two dollars, you know, right, But now the 1095 01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:23,760 Speaker 5: I think Q two last year, the second quarter of 1096 01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:27,240 Speaker 5: last year, the airlines said hey, yes, we are seeing 1097 01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:33,120 Speaker 5: profits now. American Airlines specifically said that passenger revenue from 1098 01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:37,240 Speaker 5: international travel alone rose twenty two percent, so they can 1099 01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:41,400 Speaker 5: certainly afford. I think some of these points. It's like 1100 01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:45,440 Speaker 5: the seats are getting smaller, the planes are falling apart, 1101 01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:55,520 Speaker 5: everything twice trading so that they are regulated. What body right, 1102 01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:58,520 Speaker 5: I know they've gone before Congress. The FAA regulates them. 1103 01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:02,600 Speaker 1: That would be second Terry Pete, under Secretary. The perfect 1104 01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:06,880 Speaker 1: transportation is that fat mayor Pete Secretary Pete. We got 1105 01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:09,280 Speaker 1: a thing to say because the song said, I looked 1106 01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:11,480 Speaker 1: it up. It definitely as a car walker, I will 1107 01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:14,320 Speaker 1: be free one day I'll fly away. I would like to, 1108 01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:15,680 Speaker 1: but I don't know if I'm being able to afford 1109 01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:18,240 Speaker 1: these plane tickets, that's the thing. But they're saying, if 1110 01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:20,400 Speaker 1: you can't get my anywhere, because sometimes I need to 1111 01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:23,400 Speaker 1: use my mouth. Oh by the way, you guys, I 1112 01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:28,320 Speaker 1: can't forgot to tell you no. Do you know somebody 1113 01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:31,000 Speaker 1: hacked into my American Airlines count. 1114 01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:32,760 Speaker 5: And no thousands of miles. 1115 01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:34,960 Speaker 1: So not only am I now not gonna get miles 1116 01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,280 Speaker 1: potentially from these new trips I booked, but they literally 1117 01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:39,000 Speaker 1: it was like three different people.

We have two comments from Native 1222 01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:20,120 Speaker 1: Lamppod's audience. We are going to start with Mark, Hello. 1223 01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:23,800 Speaker 9: Native lamb pod. My name is Mark Clemens' from Fairburg, Georgia, 1224 01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:27,800 Speaker 9: originally from California. I'd like to address Kelsey Plum's statement 1225 01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:31,520 Speaker 9: regarding the WNBA. She speaks about the w NBA and 1226 01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:35,080 Speaker 9: the CBA. First off, there's really no collective bargaining to 1227 01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:38,600 Speaker 9: be had there seeing that in twenty five years from 1228 01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:42,720 Speaker 9: the inception of the WNBA, they've never turned a profit. 1229 01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:45,200 Speaker 9: So if you want to be paid a fair salary, 1230 01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:48,440 Speaker 9: then you're gonna have to generate income more than what 1231 01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:52,480 Speaker 9: you're doing now. So what's needed. You need more people 1232 01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:56,920 Speaker 9: watching your game. Without TV money, there's no way you're 1233 01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:00,720 Speaker 9: going to add to the salaries. You need to think 1234 01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:03,480 Speaker 9: about what could be done to add more people watching 1235 01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:07,240 Speaker 9: your game instead of moaning and groaning about not being paid. 1236 01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:11,480 Speaker 9: There's so many athletes that wish they were able to 1237 01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:14,400 Speaker 9: go to a professional league where the WNBA is a 1238 01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:18,479 Speaker 9: league for women. So Miss Kelsey Plumb, instead of whining, 1239 01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:21,599 Speaker 9: let's come up with some ideas to create more people 1240 01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:25,000 Speaker 9: watching your game that will add to TV money and 1241 01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:27,840 Speaker 9: we'll add to your salaries. Thank you so much, have 1242 01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:28,400 Speaker 9: great day. 1243 01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:35,080 Speaker 5: I have to say thank you first of all for 1244 01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:37,519 Speaker 5: sending in that comment, I have to say, I find 1245 01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:40,040 Speaker 5: it incredibly disrespectful, and I can't imagine that he would 1246 01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:43,559 Speaker 5: talk to a woman that way, although I or a 1247 01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:45,880 Speaker 5: man that way, I should say I do again, though, 1248 01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:48,439 Speaker 5: I want to make sure that we invite these comments. 1249 01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:51,759 Speaker 5: We appreciate it, and we invite people who disagree with us. So, sir, 1250 01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:55,360 Speaker 5: I actually hear you right. So I hear your point. 1251 01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:58,400 Speaker 5: You clearly disagreed with Kelsey Plumb, and perhaps some of 1252 01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:02,320 Speaker 5: our words following it up. I do think you suggesting 1253 01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:06,160 Speaker 5: that Kelsey Plump is whining about not earning a fair wage. 1254 01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:10,480 Speaker 5: I do find that language a bit disrespectful. The WNBA 1255 01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:14,160 Speaker 5: brings in just two hundred million dollars annually, and so 1256 01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:16,479 Speaker 5: they do rely on the NBA for some of their funding. 1257 01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:19,720 Speaker 5: I think this young woman was well within her right 1258 01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:25,840 Speaker 5: to say that they just want to benefit from the 1259 01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:29,639 Speaker 5: profit that they do bring in. I hear you that, yes, 1260 01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:33,439 Speaker 5: we should all start watching. And I believe the TV 1261 01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:35,800 Speaker 5: deals and rights are up in twenty twenty five, so 1262 01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:38,519 Speaker 5: they're actually negotiating those now. And I hope that the 1263 01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:42,519 Speaker 5: WNBA is being heavily considered given how much excitement was 1264 01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:45,200 Speaker 5: generated around them. But I would invite you and just 1265 01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:50,400 Speaker 5: ask you respectfully to watch how we talk to young people, 1266 01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:54,599 Speaker 5: young women in particular, who are demanding to earn a 1267 01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:58,439 Speaker 5: fair and equitable wage. I don't know that I would 1268 01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:04,080 Speaker 5: call that whining with all this respect to you, Yeah. 1269 01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:06,880 Speaker 4: I got slightly less respect than Tiff. I'm working on it. 1270 01:10:07,160 --> 01:10:08,200 Speaker 4: God's not through with me yet. 1271 01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:10,679 Speaker 1: I would just say, as a as a factual matter, 1272 01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:14,840 Speaker 1: that there actually is a collective bargaining agreement with the 1273 01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:17,599 Speaker 1: w n b A and we can move on to 1274 01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:18,360 Speaker 1: the next statement. 1275 01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:19,160 Speaker 4: But thank you, Marco. 1276 01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:22,519 Speaker 1: Next time you'll consider weighing in uh and checking your 1277 01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:23,080 Speaker 1: facts first. 1278 01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:26,960 Speaker 3: Can I just say, where where do we ever blame? 1279 01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:30,080 Speaker 3: Do we blame the flight attendants for the new policies 1280 01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:30,719 Speaker 3: at American? 1281 01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:31,439 Speaker 5: Right? 1282 01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:36,280 Speaker 3: Do we do we the baggage chandler for a delta 1283 01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:42,240 Speaker 3: because they had to get stimulus money during coches? 1284 01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:42,479 Speaker 10: Right? 1285 01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:44,720 Speaker 3: All I'm saying is the people who see it at 1286 01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:48,559 Speaker 3: the intersection of the impact are not always the ones 1287 01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:51,639 Speaker 3: who are responsible for the cure. These women are getting 1288 01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:55,080 Speaker 3: out there every single day, giving their heart, giving it all, 1289 01:10:55,320 --> 01:11:00,519 Speaker 3: leaving it all on the core and because big moneyed 1290 01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:06,120 Speaker 3: interests to back basketball decide to invest more in the camera, 1291 01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:09,640 Speaker 3: and then the person carrying the camera, and then the 1292 01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:14,080 Speaker 3: technology of the facility for men's basketball sports, And therefore 1293 01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:16,760 Speaker 3: when you look at certain women's games, it looks like 1294 01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:19,200 Speaker 3: a throwback to the high school, not because of skill, 1295 01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:22,160 Speaker 3: but because they didn't invest in how the thing gets 1296 01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:25,320 Speaker 3: recorded and projected, the dynamics of it. And we've come 1297 01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:29,320 Speaker 3: to expect that that's all that is asinine, except for 1298 01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:34,080 Speaker 3: the fact that we don't necessarily need to blame the 1299 01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:38,040 Speaker 3: people with the grievance for the structures that they have inherited. 1300 01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:40,480 Speaker 3: We don't blame the slave for slavery. 1301 01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:42,800 Speaker 4: But I'm gonna blame you for this podcast running over, 1302 01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:44,360 Speaker 4: So we don't go to the I'm done. 1303 01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:47,400 Speaker 1: I'm ov y, Mark, send me a better comment next time. 1304 01:11:47,479 --> 01:11:50,600 Speaker 1: Delete my comment too, No, don't delete it.

Reading the data like that is 1316 01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:27,800 Speaker 11: what has been most effective. That's what I would like 1317 01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:31,120 Speaker 11: the p s as to be, Like, there's the answer. 1318 01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:32,920 Speaker 5: Okay, gotta go. 1319 01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:35,160 Speaker 11: This is DONALDA from Florida the teacher. 1320 01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:46,400 Speaker 3: Hi Andrew girl family, we can't ask questions already. 1321 01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:50,599 Speaker 4: Turn out she was the bag. 1322 01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:52,599 Speaker 5: It look healthy and full.

Think that works for 1326 01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:03,559 Speaker 1: a graphics ad. I don't know how well that would 1327 01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:06,839 Speaker 1: work visually speaking through those things. I'm a visual learner, 1328 01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:10,080 Speaker 1: so auditor. Hearing those comparisons to auditor at least probably 1329 01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:10,960 Speaker 1: challenging for me. 1330 01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:13,760 Speaker 5: No, but she's saying, as a mailer right on the. 1331 01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:18,719 Speaker 3: Fly, most effective for her. Yeah. 1332 01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:22,880 Speaker 1: She was saying, using the mailer model for a p 1333 01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:26,719 Speaker 1: s A or a political ad either. 1334 01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:30,000 Speaker 5: I think if you do it in print or yeah, 1335 01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:33,320 Speaker 5: but even if you did that and on social if 1336 01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:36,479 Speaker 5: you did that as and as broadcasted ad I think 1337 01:13:36,560 --> 01:13:39,280 Speaker 5: all of it works. I think for what she's saying, yeah, 1338 01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:44,120 Speaker 5: just contrast. The problem is though, even that that that 1339 01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:47,599 Speaker 5: opens people up to disinformation because you know people always say, oh, 1340 01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:52,000 Speaker 5: this person uh supports you know, murdering babies.

And one of the things that 1371 01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:28,320 Speaker 1: became really really clear is that in order to ensure 1372 01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:32,000 Speaker 1: that her case is heard from this administration, from the 1373 01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:35,560 Speaker 1: Biden administration, is to ensure that we have a petition, 1374 01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:40,519 Speaker 1: and so that petition is now live.

This gives them an opportunity to join 1387 01:16:18,479 --> 01:16:21,479 Speaker 1: us in writing some of those wrongs and supporting Maryland 1388 01:16:21,520 --> 01:16:24,120 Speaker 1: some of that incredible work, including the work she did 1389 01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:31,120 Speaker 1: to stop prosecuting marijuana possession cases in Maryland.
