Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
Speaker 1: Donald J.
Speaker 2: Trump's leadership.
Speaker 1: I'm Christy nom the United States Secretary of Homeland Security.
Speaker 1: Under President Trump, attempted illegal border crossings are at the
Speaker 1: lowest levels ever recorded, and over one hundred thousand illegal
Speaker 1: aliens have been arrested. If you are here illegally, your
Speaker 1: next you will be fined nearly one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned,
Speaker 1: and deported.
Speaker 2: You will never return.
Speaker 1: But if you register using our CBP home app and
Speaker 1: leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
Speaker 2: Do what's right, leave now.
Speaker 1: Under President Trump, America's laws, border and families will be protected.
Speaker 3: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
Speaker 4: I feel like there's a growing consensus of like disenfranchisement
Speaker 4: when it comes to voting, with young people like people
Speaker 4: saying like what's the point of voting, and a lot
Speaker 4: of older people are kind of shunning young people, saying
Speaker 4: like that's an ignorant way to go about it. But
Speaker 4: I understand why people are saying that, because they're looking
Speaker 4: at it from a standpoint of that we've been broke
Speaker 4: fifty years ago. We've been broke now. We had criminal
Speaker 4: justice issues fifty years ago, we have criminal justice issues now.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go I'm gonna.
Speaker 5: Stay on the broke part because see this is the
Speaker 5: problem right here, people down standing the broke part. Okay, first,
Speaker 5: when we say we broke, where are most jobs from.
Speaker 3: They're a private sector. They ain't government. It's a private sector,
Speaker 3: private sector.
Speaker 5: But guess what we actually overend this all right, I'm
Speaker 5: about to blow y'all away, all right, So here's where
Speaker 5: Republicans go. Let's government that means cut jobs. African Americans
Speaker 5: over in this on government jobs. When you look at
Speaker 5: again postal workers, it's not the government, but it's actually
Speaker 5: the government. But school teachers, firefighters, police officers, people who
Speaker 5: work at city hall, who work in school districts, who
Speaker 5: are for county government, state government, federal government.
Speaker 3: We over index.
Speaker 5: So when they when Republicans take charge and they go
Speaker 5: cut government, we actually lose jobs. We also a higher
Speaker 5: percentage of us make six high five figures and six
Speaker 5: figures in government jobs.
Speaker 3: So when you talk.
Speaker 5: About the black middle class, how the black middle class grew,
Speaker 5: The black middle class grew from nineteen seventy through two
Speaker 5: thousand because we were working in government, because that's where
Speaker 5: we were able to get real jobs and be respected.
Speaker 5: So when people say, man, economics hasn't changed, it's because
Speaker 5: most of the jobs when you look at the majority
Speaker 5: of the jobs in the private sector.
Speaker 3: And so what happens in our media business?
Speaker 5: Okay BT was sold twenty two years ago in the
Speaker 5: store of the New York Times. It said Black on
Speaker 5: media gets one percent of all advertising. It's twenty twenty four.
Speaker 5: Guess how much we get one percent? So guess what
Speaker 5: if we are not accessing those dollars. Look at private equity,
Speaker 5: venture capital.
Speaker 3: You know where that money comes from. Pitching funds.
Speaker 5: Get to a pitching fund workers black people because those
Speaker 5: are public workers.
Speaker 3: So pitching funds drive investment in Wall Street.
Speaker 5: So we are arguing with the venture capitals, y'all need
Speaker 5: to invest more money in black people.
Speaker 3: We're arguing with private equity when ninety.
Speaker 5: Eight percent of private equity money is in the hands
Speaker 5: of white people. So Robert Smith's company, Vista Equity Partners,
Speaker 5: they are one hundred billion dollar fund, that's the largest one.
Speaker 5: Even though the data shows that black and minority firms
Speaker 5: outperform white firms in private equity. So we have been
Speaker 5: we are frozen out of this economic system.
Speaker 3: And so how do we now counter it.
Speaker 5: You've got to have policymakers who are using their power
Speaker 5: to change it.
Speaker 3: So when I am pushing and driving of the.
Speaker 5: CBC and I'm calling on Senator Chuck Schumer, they just
Speaker 5: had these corressional hearings with social media companies. The Democrats
Speaker 5: in the Senate need to bring all those white ad
Speaker 5: agencies to the table and say, why y'all not spending
Speaker 5: with black on media companies? Why is it still one percent?
Speaker 5: We have to understand how to use power. We got
Speaker 5: to understand that. Guess what if we take over the
Speaker 5: school board. Listen to me, clearly, we don't even vote
Speaker 5: in school board elections. You got to not people the
Speaker 5: school board. You get five of those people, You now
Speaker 5: control the dets bond, You now control who gets hiring.
Speaker 5: You now can now make demands when it comes to
Speaker 5: contracts in New York State when Carl McCall.
Speaker 3: Was the controller. You know what they did.
Speaker 5: They actually changed the rules when it came to oh no, no, no,
Speaker 5: y'all can't come and get pitching money from us unless
Speaker 5: y'all got black partners, unless you're using black law firms,
Speaker 5: unless you're using black black accounting firms.
Speaker 3: When David Patrison became governor, he changed the rules.
Speaker 5: There dramatic increase on blacks being able to tap into
Speaker 5: the state funds and contracts. So we gott understand the
Speaker 5: money game and how do we leverage politicians.
Speaker 3: When I was at TV.
Speaker 5: One, guess who controls the cable cable cable contracts in
Speaker 5: the city.
Speaker 3: Does the city votes on who has the cable contract.
Speaker 5: We would go to those cable companies try to get
Speaker 5: us on get TV one on local system.
Speaker 3: They would tell us no, noe. So you know what
Speaker 3: we would do.
Speaker 5: We will wait until they contract was up, and then
Speaker 5: we would go to the Black city council members, and
Speaker 5: the Black City council members will say, I'm not voting
Speaker 5: on this cable contract until y'all put TV one on
Speaker 5: your system. We leveraged political power to drive economics, or.
Speaker 3: How do you sow something my father.
Speaker 4: What I was saying with that is like, what's some
Speaker 4: actionable item that the every day black person can do
Speaker 4: to hold politicians accountable? Because voting is one thing, but
Speaker 4: like you said, if they're not being held accountable the.
Speaker 3: One process at the beginning of another go ahead.
Speaker 4: If there's no if there's no super packs, if there's
Speaker 4: no pressure put on them, then they're just using our
Speaker 4: vote get in office and then just ignore annoying us.
Speaker 3: So, well, here's what you have to do.
Speaker 5: When we are organizing people to vote. We got to
Speaker 5: keep that organization in place. So when it's now time
Speaker 5: to move or something. The school board but was still there,
Speaker 5: we have. So here's the first thing. Stop having protests
Speaker 5: and you're not collecting data. So you have a protest
Speaker 5: and two people show up, get them.
Speaker 3: Earners, what's up.
Speaker 6: You ever walk into a small business and everything just
Speaker 6: works like the checkout is fast, the seats of digital

Speaker 5: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security, Claim number, email,
Speaker 5: social media. So when it's time to now move, you
Speaker 5: now have a database of people to reach out and
Speaker 5: say I need fifty of y'all to show up.
Speaker 3: At the next school board meeting. So that's one.
Speaker 5: The second thing is you've got a join organization. Carmichael
Speaker 5: Carmen Teray said, show me anybody black who has been
Speaker 5: able to achieve something organized. When it came to changing
Speaker 5: our community, it was not done as an individual.
Speaker 3: They did it but through a group.
Speaker 5: So we got to use our group power, which now
Speaker 5: means that our groups had to stop being focused on
Speaker 5: bullshit and actually have a real agenda, which is why
Speaker 5: I challenge soraritas and fraternities to do more and just
Speaker 5: have events where we wear our colors and we're all inward.
Speaker 3: Know how we driving things outward.
Speaker 5: But the third thing is for everybody who's listening, answer
Speaker 5: me this question.
Speaker 3: Do you know who your counsel member is? No?
Speaker 5: No, no, no, I don't mean oh yeah, the black person. No,
Speaker 5: you can live in somebody else's district. It's black people
Speaker 5: right now, go yeh in Houston. Yeah, see the Jackson
Speaker 5: leadies my carswoman. Uh uh, you live in a whole
Speaker 5: different zip code. So the first thing is know who
Speaker 5: represents you. Who is your council member, who is your
Speaker 5: county commissioner, Who is your state rep who's your state senator?
Speaker 3: Who is your member of Congress? Who is your US Congress?
Speaker 5: But every state has two United States Senators. Know who
Speaker 5: they are, Know who the district attorney is. So now
Speaker 5: we know now who aren't need to talk to because
Speaker 5: when you walk in and well look when when the
Speaker 5: Republicans held up Loretta Lynch being confirmed as Attorney General,
Speaker 5: the black women were protesting. So I said, what are
Speaker 5: the brothers? All these black mail griws wasn't doing nothing?
Speaker 5: So I called Jamal passor Jamal Bryan, Jeff Johnson. So
Speaker 5: we organized something. We organized two hundred men to go
Speaker 5: to Capitol Hill. But you know we did.
Speaker 3: These brothers had never been to Capitol Hill. They came
Speaker 3: all over.
Speaker 5: So we rolled up. We said, all right, we're gonna
Speaker 5: we're gonna visit. Uh, We're gonna visit John Corner's office.
Speaker 5: He's a Texas Senator. I'm from Texas, I said, I
Speaker 5: need everybody from Texas come to the front of the line.
Speaker 5: So we walked into the office. We said, hot, we're
Speaker 5: so and so we are his constituents. When we went
Speaker 5: to meet with Thad Cochrane Mississippi, we said, Missisippi, brothers,
Speaker 5: come in front.
Speaker 3: Of the line.
Speaker 5: See when you're a constituent, they don't want to ignore
Speaker 5: you because you agnore you.
Speaker 3: You're a voter.
Speaker 5: Congress Woman everybody Johnson who just died, she I still
Speaker 5: rerigised to vote. I'm still reagied to vote in Texas.
Speaker 5: She was my congresswoman. Jasmin Crockett is not my congress woman.
Speaker 5: So Jasmine was like, yeah, I gotta go on rolling
Speaker 5: show because his ass a constituent. He vote and see
Speaker 5: see what we see. The problem is we're not understanding politics.
Speaker 5: And so I'll say this here. I'm gonna say it again.
Speaker 5: And this is why I do my show the way
Speaker 5: I do it. We gotta teach our people politics. We
Speaker 5: gotta teach them how the system works. We gotta teach them.
Speaker 5: So choke wait Lamomba mayor of Jackson, Mississippi, water crist
Speaker 5: is there Republicans like man the Biden folks ain't doing
Speaker 5: nothing for you. Choke wait, said I'm going to Capitol
Speaker 5: Hill to get the money. They said, they ain't doing
Speaker 5: nothing for you. What happened, Mayor Lamumba went to Capitol Hill,
Speaker 5: the Biden administration, the Democrats six hundred million dollars. Then
Speaker 5: the Republicans want to get involved. He said, no, no, no, y'all.
Speaker 5: They helped me get the money, but now you want
Speaker 5: to participate. It's understanding levers of power. And so for
Speaker 5: people out there might be saying, oh yeah, Roland, okay, man,
Speaker 5: you all educated, the gona help y'all out. Mom and
Speaker 5: daddy never went to college. Mom and daddy graduated from
Speaker 5: high school. But mom and daddy were co founders of
Speaker 5: a neighborhood civic club called Clinton Park Civic Club. And
Speaker 5: you know what happened. A whole bunch of brothers and
Speaker 5: sisters like man, y'all ain't gonna do nothing. You know
Speaker 5: how they started, they said we're gonna do some trash
Speaker 5: pick up once a month. Then after three months they said,
Speaker 5: we know we're gonna do something. You know, we were
Speaker 5: tired of these overgrown lots in these crack houses. How
Speaker 5: could we get these torn down? They figured out how
Speaker 5: to do. So, we were tired of the crime in
Speaker 5: the neighborhood. So they said they didn't say who's the
Speaker 5: police chief, No, who's the.
Speaker 3: Commander for this district? And went to them.
Speaker 5: Knew him by name, so when stuff went down, he
Speaker 5: picked the phone up. I need to speak the command
Speaker 5: and so and so mister Martin, ms Martin, we're gonna
Speaker 5: dispatch a unit out or to look at this right now.
Speaker 3: And after ten years, you know what happened.
Speaker 5: They said, you know, we need some new sidewalks, we
Speaker 5: need some new source systems, we need park refurbished, we
Speaker 5: need that Senior citizens at old firehouse turned to a
Speaker 5: senior citizen center. In a decade, Clinton Park, where I
Speaker 5: was born and raised changed because regular ordinary people who
Speaker 5: did not go to college cared enough about their community.
Speaker 5: But they learned the political system. What I'm describing every
Speaker 5: single person listening and watching can actually do again. My
Speaker 5: mama and daddy worked, had jobs, they had five kids.
Speaker 5: I lived this because we were free labor. We had
Speaker 5: to go drop the pamphlets off of people's doors whatever.
Speaker 5: But they first cared enough about their community, and then
Speaker 5: they said, what do we want to see change? And
Speaker 5: now who can change it. And that's how this thing works.
Speaker 5: We didn't have no packs, we didn't have no millionaires,
Speaker 5: no billionaires. Hell, we had no thousand nayars. But the
Speaker 5: people got to together and said we can change this.
Speaker 5: And guess what. It started with five or six and
Speaker 5: then grew to ten to twenty, then thirty to forty
Speaker 5: and fifteen one hundred.
Speaker 3: And let me tell you something right now, there's no politician.
Speaker 5: If he or she sees thirty forty fifty one hundred
Speaker 5: people showing up for consecutive months, gonna ignore them because
Speaker 5: you know what they're doing. Them folks gonna vote by
Speaker 5: keep ignoring them. They gonna light my ass upcome election time.
Speaker 5: But we have got to care enough to actually get
Speaker 5: in the game.
Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from El Salvador
Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas. Man of Venezuelan charged with
