Speaker 13: the doors feeling a little bit shaky, maybe needing to

60
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 13: be propped up on one side or the other, or

61
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 13: maybe needing or feeling like you need a word something

62
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,200

Speaker 13: Maybe you're the person that's gonna leave us all inspired

67
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 13: and feeling like as we leave this share vicinity.

68
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,120

69
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 11: got to tell you.

70
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 13: Just coming from one of the fifty states, you all

71
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 13: have made us incredibly proud.

72
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 11: Yes, yes, yes, made us incredibly proud.

73
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 13: I know, I know that the sacrifice has been far

74
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 13: too great and too often, Minnesota, that sacrifice has fallen

75
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 13: right here on y'all shoulders. But I want you to

76
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 13: know that by your sacrifice and through your service and

77
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 13: by your example, you've really stiffened the spines.

78
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 11: Of many of us all across this country.

79
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 13: And you've set an example that as other communities confront

80
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 13: these kinds of challenges that are being brought down by

81
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 13: the people who are supposed to help us, but find

82
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 13: it right now in their spirit to hurt us. And

83
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 13: in the case is that we've experienced here, kill us.

84
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 13: It's gonna take a mighty army. But I'll tell you

85
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 13: we are greater than them. Every day of the week.

86
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 13: We has got to keep at it all right, So

87
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 13: God bless you and welcome this evening.

88
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: Well I'm gonna say this because we didn't say this.

00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: We are your hosts of Native Lampid.

00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:56,560

Speaker 1: to echo andrew sentiments and just tell you all, thank you,

94
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: thank you all for showing us what courage looks like

95
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: when fear is trying to overtake you and terror is

96
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: trying to overtake you. So we really want to thank you.

97
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: And this was our offering to you, not to come

98
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: and make content and go viral, but to come and

99
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,239
Speaker 1: commune with you the way that we do every single

100
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: week on Native Lampod. It is a safe space for us,

101
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: and we wanted to create that same safety with some

102
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: of the people that we are admiring the greatest right now.

103
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 1: The other thing that was really important to us is

104
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: that we come and pour back into the community as

105
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: best we can. So we partner with an organization, a

106
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: coalition I started called State of the People to engage

107
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: in some mutual aid efforts with the Minnesota Freedom Fund, with.

108
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 14: The Capri Theater.

109
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: And so many other partners throughout the city to give

110
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: back groceries for those of your neighbors that are afraid

111
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: to go to the grocery store right now, hygiene.

112
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 14: Kits, diapers for the babies, wipes.

113
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: We also have at the end of the program, we'll

114
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: be presenting micro grants to seven small business winners. So

115
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: we wanted to come with an offering because we dare

116
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: not take another thing from such a beautiful city. So

117
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: thank you all for having us right and at this time,

Speaker 12: Last fort y'all slide out, though I wanted to kind

121
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 12: of save this for last because I wanted to introduce

122
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 12: you all to some people that are here just to

123
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 12: point a personal privilege. I know that you were talking

124
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 12: about it, but the pain that we feel sometimes we

125
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 12: find ourselves so interconnected. And I was speaking to Eddie

126
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 12: Rye earlier. Shout out to mister Rye. Who is Papa right?

127
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 12: Who is Angela's father? We all kind of come from

128
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 12: this background of civil rights of movements. And on the

129
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 12: front row with us today is the family of Ricky Cop.

130
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 12: Please stand up. His dad is, his twin brother, his

131
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 12: mama is. Although this family has been holding it together,

132
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 12: many of you all know Ricky Cop was gunned down

133
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 12: right here in Minneapolis, minis Or by Minnesota State Police

134
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 12: not long ago. And so I wanted them to come

135
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 12: in this space and feel the warmth. Because as we

136
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 12: go from m Mittil to Michael Brown, as we go

137
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 12: from Henry Smith and Samuel Hammond and Dellano Middleton all

138
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 12: the way to MegaR Evers, as we think about all

139
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 12: of those lives that were lost, all of those weddings not,

140
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 12: had those graduations, not, had all of those individuals who

141
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 12: weren't able to grow up and raise a family, all

142
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 12: of that pain that we feel in our community, it's

143
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 12: important that we wrap our arms around each other, particularly

144
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 12: on a nightlight tonight, and so we're gonna have a

176
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,960

Speaker 12: this crowd loves you, home loves you. Next we have

184
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 12: Juan Puranio. Come on, oh, Prano, I have to roll

185
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 12: my r. I'm working on it.

186
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 10: Who is the CEO of Lulac? Now? Uh, let me

187
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 10: just tell you that.

188
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 12: I think it's a fascinating time in this country because

189
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 12: we are finally starting to see that good people of

190
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 12: like mind, singular hearts are being faced with oppression no

191
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 12: matter what they look like. And I think the country

192
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 12: is actually witnessing good people being gunned down in the streets.

193
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 12: I've oftentimes asked what would happen in this country if

194
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 12: white people were killed in the streets. You know, for

195
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 12: me that was a question coming from South Carolina, that

196
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 12: was a question that we always asked. For me, it

197
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 12: was like, when are we going to see individuals come together?

198
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 12: Because that is the only way that we change in

199
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 12: So Wan's presence here, the work that you do for

200
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 12: the Hispanic community, the work that you do, because many of.

201
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 10: Us have been singing.

202
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 12: Our praises and our prayers and bowing our knees and

203
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 12: praying that our brothers and sisters who may not look

204
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 12: like us are not being drug out of their homes

205
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 12: in the middle of the night or rounded up like

206
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 12: wild animals. And so we pray with you, we're here

207
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 12: with you, and we're glad you're here with us tonight

208
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 12: one And so following him, I know he's on an

209
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 12: executive committee meeting, because the NAACP is the most meet

210
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 12: in this organization known to man.

211
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 10: Is he out here? Is he ready yet? All right?

212
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 12: Well, we actually have Derek Johnson, who's the President n

213
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 12: CEO of the NAACP, who will join us shortly, but

214
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 12: while he stumbles out here, I wanted to start with you,

215
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 12: and actually, Georgia, this is home for you. I wanted

216
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 12: to start with you and talk about this is kind

217
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 12: of fascinating to me because dealing with the case of

218
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 12: Ricky Cobb or Filando Castile or George Floyd. One of

219
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 12: the things I realized is God sometimes uses some really

220
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 12: unassuming messengers. And the other thing I realized is that

221
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 12: we keep coming back to this place. Talk to me

222
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 12: about how this has taken a toll, the changes you've

223
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 12: seen throughout from your bird's eye view in the community,

224
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 12: and the resilience you've seen in this community.

225
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 10: As we sit here.

226
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 15: Today, Minnesota is ground zero.

227
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 16: We've been ground zero.

228
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 15: And I think that the rest of the country had

229
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 15: this perception of, you know, ain't no black people there.

230
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 10: We said that all the time.

231
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 16: Well you ain't saying it now.

232
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 10: I know I was, well, I was wrong.

233
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 16: I was wrong, But so we're ground zero. Prince predicted it.

234
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 15: He was probably the only person who said the revolution

235
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 15: will start in Minnesota, and people thought he was crazy.

236
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 15: But the thing is, what we're experiencing right now in

237
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 15: Minnesota should be a code read for America, and as

238
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 15: an independent journalist, I live in this kind of interesting

239
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 15: intersection where I'm able to amplify stories mainstream media does not,

240
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 15: while also still holding them accountable.

241
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 16: And I've been calling them out in this moment.

242
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 15: Because i feel like the principles of journalism being neutral,

243
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 15: being objective, these things have never really served us, But

244
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 15: right now I think they're central to our demise. Mainstream

245
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 15: media can no longer be neutral about the dismantling of

246
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 15: our democracy yet still expect to be protected by it.

247
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 15: You can't stand by idly and just report the facts

248
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 15: of a US citizen having their constitutional rights violated, but

249
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 15: then be upset when your journalists is attacked by the

250
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 15: police and say, oh, but our First Amendment.

251
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 16: No, it doesn't work both ways.

252
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 15: Media is not on an island of their own, and

253
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 15: so that has been my vantage point in being here

254
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 15: in Minnesota. But because I'm from here, these stories are

255
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 15: also my stories. The things that are happening in our

256
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 15: community also impact my family, They impact my children, and

257
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 15: so I don't think any of us really wanted to

258
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 15: be ground zero for this long. We're still recovering from

259
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 15: what happened after George Floyd businesses barely getting by. But

260
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 15: it is that resilience and that perseverance that even Bovino

261
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 15: himself had to acknowledge that the organizer is here. Yes,

262
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 15: he said, those organizers, they're really good, you know. And

263
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 15: so that is a testament of who we are, of

264
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 15: how we love on one another. And I think essentially

265
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 15: why the nation is looking at us right now in

266
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 15: this moment to lead in a pathway forward, and I

267
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 15: think that we are meeting the moment.

268
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 12: Want to talk about your organization, give a round of

269
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 12: applus for sure, First of all, for some people in

270
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 12: this room, this would be an introduction to your organization.

271
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 12: For those of us who are somewhat in this space,

272
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 12: it's the parallel partner to the NAACP in the Hispanic community.

273
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 12: Talk about your organization briefly, but more importantly, talk about

274
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 12: the toil that you're seeing, weight on the individuals that

275
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 12: you represent, and very succinctly tell us what we can

276
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 12: do in this room to join hands, or what you

277
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 12: all can do to join hands with us.

278
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 10: How do we bridge that gap?

279
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 12: Because I will tell you this, one of the most political,

280
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 12: politically brilliant, yet sinister, unholy things that was ever done

281
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 12: in American politics was shipping immigrants to sanctuary cities that

282
00:15:54,960 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 12: were predominantly black in places like Chicago and places like Baltimore,

283
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 12: and try to drive a wedge.

284
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 10: Between these communities. How do we bridge that gap?

285
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 17: Well, thank you very much, Macary. So the organization that

286
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 17: I represent is called the League of United Latin American Citizens,

287
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 17: or as we refer to it as LULAC. It is

288
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 17: a country's oldest Latino civil rights organization, founded in nineteen

289
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 17: twenty nine in Corpus Christi, Texas, and effectively it was

290
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 17: modeled after the NAACP. We have councils, THENBACP has chapters,

291
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 17: and we have members just like THENAACP does. And we've

292
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 17: been doing the exact same work that the NAACP did

293
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 17: in the South, in the Southwest, and in the West.

294
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 17: So one of the seminal cases that we've litigated, for example,

295
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 17: is Menendez versus Westminister, which is a precursor to brownne

296
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 17: Board of Education, and so the same thing, the same

297
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 17: fights that we had in Texas to decigregate pools and

298
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 17: restaurants and funerals, homes and barriers sites. We've been doing

299
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 17: that for the last ninety seven years and as i'd

300
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 17: taken to, you know, inventory what we're seeing today, sadly,

301
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 17: we're going back to that time and we're having to

302
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 17: fight some of those same fights. One of the episodes

303
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 17: in our long history has been what they called the

304
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 17: Braselo program. And I don't know if the Baselo program

305
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 17: was a program that the United States basically had with Mexico,

306
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 17: which was a foreign worker exchange program. They allowed Mexican

307
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 17: Mexicans to come into United States to do the work

308
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 17: that no one else would effectively do. We're talking about

309
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 17: nineteen forties, nineteen fifties, Okay, when they were finished with

310
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 17: those workers, they effectively deported them back. Over a million

311
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 17: Mexicans that were here and had been here for almost

312
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 17: a decade at that point, were effectively shipped back to

313
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 17: Mexico with their families, with their US born children. US

314
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 17: citizens were actually caught up in those effective rates. And

315
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 17: what we're seeing is effectively this a new Brasero program.

316
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 17: And let me explain what that means. They're trying to

317
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 17: take away birthright citizenship. Okay, they're trying to take away

318
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 17: birthright citizenship. We sue this administration on the four Hours

319
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 17: after he signed that executive order.

320
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 12: Well, this executive order that Stephen Miller wrote, let's be

321
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 12: exactly that's right.

322
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 17: They are redefining effectively what immigration is, taking away temporary

323
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 17: protected status, taking away asylum, taking a refugee status from folks. Literally,

324
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 17: student visas are basically now null and void, unless you

325
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 17: may want to come from or a white person from

326
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 17: South Africa, they can still get visas. It's interesting Africa,

327
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 17: it's interesting how that happens. So what they're basically trying

328
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 17: to do is they're going to try and get as

329
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 17: many Mexicans, Mexican American immigrants as they can out. And

330
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 17: that's not just Latino immigrants, but if you're from Asia

331
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 17: or from Africa, and even if you're from Ukraine or

332
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 17: some Eastern European country, then they're going to let us

333
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 17: back in with new work visus, with no pathway to

334
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 17: citizenship ever, no birthright citizenship effectively for our children.

335
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 10: Okay.

336
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 17: And we know that they're going to somehow or another

337
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 17: find a way to reduce wages for these immigrants that

338
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 17: come into this country to work. That is servitude, okay.

339
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 17: And we know where that effectively is going to lead,

340
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 17: and that's why we're fighting this fight for me. Our

341
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 17: work has been so important to make sure that it

342
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 17: is in lockstep with the NAACP. I have the privilege

343
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 17: to serve on the board of the Leadership Conference and

344
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 17: Civil Rights with Maya Wiley because that's kind of sort

345
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 17: of how I've always grown up. My family is beautiful.

346
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 17: It is assimilated into this country like no other. I

347
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 17: have a nephew who's got red hair because his mom

348
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 17: is Irish. I got three nieces and nephews that are

349
00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 17: Afro Latino like we are really what the American dream

350
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,959
Speaker 17: is right now. We're struggling and fighting for that because

351
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 17: our community is in fear. They are at home, they're

352
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 17: taking the night shifts, they're not going out during the day.

353
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 17: Their children are missing school. Ten fifteen thousand children have

354
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 17: basically disappeared from Miami Dad's public schools. It really is incredible.

355
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 17: And you've seen the stories of that young man Liam,

356
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 17: who is used as bait to get his father out,

357
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 17: and they're both now in Texas Didley, Texas in detention, and.

358
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 10: They just they just shipped out a six year old Venezuelan.

359
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 17: And a two year old girl, Chloe right, who is

360
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 17: also deported, and she's two, and she's a US born

361
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 17: citizen with her father, and we're trying to basically get

362
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 17: her back. And so that's why this is so important

363
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 17: for us. That's why the community aspect of it is

364
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 17: so important for us, because you know, this is the

365
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 17: fight for our generation and it will define who we are.

366
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 10: I think one of the most important words he used

367
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 10: was our hour.

368
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 12: We have friends we all know. I mean, I had

369
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 12: these same discussions in the barbershop. We talk about a lot,

370
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 12: we talk about OnlyFans, models, we talk about a lot.

371
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 12: But one of the things we always talk about is

372
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 12: there's always that one guy in the barbershop who's like

373
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 12: that ain't my problem. But when you're quiet when they

374
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 12: come for them, and then you're quiet when they come

375
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 12: for them, and then you're quiet when they come for them.

376
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 12: When they come for you, you look around, ain't nobody

377
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 12: gonna be there to help you. And so I think

378
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 12: our in community is so important and we have to

379
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 12: get back to that. But you got to promise me

380
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 12: one thing now. Now, when I'm out there marching for

381
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 12: the death of Ricky Cobb, I need some of y'all

382
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 12: out there marching with me too. Now, not a crazy

383
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 12: part about this. And I gotta tell that's what I

384
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 12: tell my white liberals, I tell my Hispanic friends, my progressives.

385
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 12: I'm like, look, now, you ain't gonna find no bigger

386
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 12: supporter for planned parenthood and female productive rights than me,

387
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 12: reproductive rights than me. But when there's a little black

388
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 12: boy that died, you got to be marching with me too.

389
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 12: That's the only way this think work.

390
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 17: Yeah, and so I will be very frank. You know,

391
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 17: LULAC historically has made some decisions that it shouldn't have.

392
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 17: Nineteen thirty six, they supported calling Latinos white. That was

393
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 17: a choice that Latino's actually made as a community. Would

394
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,959
Speaker 17: we make that same choice now? I don't think so, certainly,

395
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 17: not under my leadership. And let's be very frank. Latinos

396
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 17: can be racist too, right, we.

397
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 10: Know that prejudiced something about racist, but we go down

398
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 10: a whole another.

399
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 17: Even within our own community. And we had to take

400
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 17: our accountability for this past election cycle because Latino men

401
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 17: voted for this.

402
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 12: Yeah, I was on y'all. I was gonna mention it

403
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 12: at the end of the day.

404
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 17: And so I'm I'm working to make sure that our

405
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 17: folks effectively know what's that steak? And I think clearly

406
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 17: now they know what's that steak?

407
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 10: And I live in.

408
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 17: Miami and it's interesting, Oh, the Latino Republicans are like,

409
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 17: I didn't vote for that.

410
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 10: I guess you did vote for that. So listen.

411
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:00,959
Speaker 12: One of the badest women that if you don't know,

412
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 12: you need to follow her. Elizabeth is dope with a

413
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 12: capital D. Now the reason that she is so dope

414
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 12: and I have only admired her from afar, I didn't

415
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 12: know anybody, and then.

416
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 10: Angelau was like, we gonna have it.

417
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 12: I was like, hey, So the reason is because she

418
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 12: cuts through the bullsh the stuff, and she does it

419
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 12: in a way where she meets people where they are.

420
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 12: So we have different generations in here, right right, and

421
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 12: you do understand that the way that your mama and

422
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 12: daddy and grandparents communicated with people is not the way

423
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 12: that's effective today. Their entire generations of young people, young women,

424
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 12: who just respond to.

425
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:41,959
Speaker 10: The way that you talk about politics.

426
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 12: And so my question is, from your vantage point, particularly

427
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 12: in this content creation, are we seeing the apathy that

428
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 12: people say, is there are people thirsting for change? And

429
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 12: how can we utilize that as a springboard to kind

430
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,959
Speaker 12: of catapult and bring in communities together and doing some

431
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 12: of the good work that you talk about doing.

432
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 10: It's coming, it'll come on.

433
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 11: My bad.

434
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 18: I think that everybody sped up, and that's what a

435
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 18: lot of people have in common, regardless of where they

436
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 18: sit generationally.

437
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 4: Right.

438
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 18: So I'm a millennial, and I know you were referring

439
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 18: to the fact that I have a slick mouth because

440
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 18: I'm from Memphis, Tennessee. So I cuss a lot.

441
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 10: Are you from Memphis? What high school did you go to?

442
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 11: I went to Bartlett.

443
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 10: I hated it. Where is that.

444
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 11: It's in the suburbs Memphis. I know, we moved out

445
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 11: there when I was a teenager.

446
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 10: It was terrible. My mama helped desegregate Hamilton High School.

447
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 10: My daddy went to Hamilton. There you go, That's where

448
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 10: I grew up.

449
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,959
Speaker 18: So I grew up around the corner from Hamilton High School. Actually,

450
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 18: But yeah, so I have.

451
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 10: A slick mouth. I cuss a lot.

452
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 18: And I think it's funny because you were like, oh,

453
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 18: you know, different generations. But the funny thing is, whenever

454
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 18: I get my openers, because I also do stand up comedy,

455
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 18: whenever I do shows, and I have my people that

456
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 18: open for me. I love when they come in the

457
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 18: green room and they're like your audience old as hell, Elizabeth,

458
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 18: and I'm like, yeah, because I talk. It's like a

459
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 18: king of comedy and that's an older generation, a king

460
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 18: or a queen of comedy, and so it does span generations.

461
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 18: So I see that with my content and how it

462
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 18: resonates with people. It's really not just younger people, it's

463
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 18: not just older people. It's not just folks in the middle.

464
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 18: It's everybody. Like it's a wide range, and when it

465
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 18: comes to addressing the apathy, people just need some direction

466
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 18: and they need it to make sense. We spent so

467
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 18: long with everybody talking down to folks and over folks.

468
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,479
Speaker 18: And I say this as a lawyer, I hate it

469
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 18: because the reason why we make everything so complicated is

470
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 18: so we can keep it in charge three hundred dollars

471
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 18: an hour. But it affects everybody. Everybody should know the law,

472
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,959
Speaker 18: everybody can understand the law. And I just don't operate

473
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 18: from that vantage point that just because you don't have

474
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 18: a law degree or a bachelor's degree or even a

475
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 18: high school diploma that you can't understand it. You can

476
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 18: come to my page and learn something and you can.

477
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 10: Figure it out. I had a whole group of people.

478
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 18: Understanding substantive due process when everything happened with abortion rights

479
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:53,719
Speaker 18: being overturned. If you don't know what that is, go

480
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 18: find my page because you'll learn it in about five minutes.

481
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 18: And it's possible to teach people these things. And so

482
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 18: when we cut through that whole knowledge gap and all

483
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 18: this elitist behavior that we have with the way knowledge

484
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 18: is gate, captain, just share it with everybody in a

485
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 18: way that actually makes sense, and you're not just trying

486
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 18: to talk over everybody's heads. Then people will be willing

487
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 18: to be more active. And that's what I see every

488
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 18: day of my page. My favorite comments are not for

489
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 18: people who've been following me forever. It's people who say

490
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 18: I didn't understand or care about the law of politics

491
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 18: until I found your page, and that always makes me happy.

492
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 12: One of the other she says, substanative due process, substanitive

493
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 12: through that's three words. I'm from South Carolina. We still

494
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 12: count on our fingers and toes.

495
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 10: But one of the other.

496
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 12: Words that we're gonna get real cozy with not tonight,

497
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 12: but in Minnesota, because I think we just got to

498
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 12: teach people this and have this fight of the two

499
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 12: words qualified immunity. It's something I've been dealing with for

500
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 12: a very long period of time in cases around the country.

501
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 12: I don't know is Derek coming out here. This is

502
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 12: a live pod, so I get to yell in the back.

503
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 12: I guess he's gonna join another panel before we, So listen.

504
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 12: We have two mics up here, and I'm gonna have

505
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 12: time for two questions. I got rules about questions, y'all listening.

506
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 12: Questions have question marks. I know y'all got a little

507
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 12: written speeches.

508
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 10: Get them in the.

509
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 12: Next panel, ask them questions. Okay, and then I don't

510
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 12: know where we got away with teaching people. There's no

511
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 12: such thing as a dumb question. I always tell people

512
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 12: that there is a such thing is a dumb question.

513
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 10: You smarter when we answer there? You go okay. You

514
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 10: know I hear you. So make sure we have time

515
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 10: for two questions. Bring them up.

516
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 12: If you have a question. There's a microphone right here.

517
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 12: Two questions. Just line up those two people before. I

518
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 12: wanted like a rapid response from you guys understanding where

519
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 12: we are. It's fascinating to me that in twenty sixteen,

520
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 12: everybody said we would be here. In twenty twenty four,

521
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 12: running for election, everybody said we would be here, and

522
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:52,479
Speaker 12: it seems like nobody listened. If there is one consequential event, moment,

523
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,479
Speaker 12: or thing we could do from this point forward, what

524
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 12: would that consequential moment, event or thing be to help

525
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 12: create the change we.

526
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 10: Want to see?

527
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 16: Depoliticized humanity?

528
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 10: What does that mean?

529
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 16: It means our humanity has become.

530
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 12: Political humanity is oh, not like people or human beings,

531
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 12: but like.

532
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 15: Correct, I think, especially like from a media dvantage point.

533
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 15: I think again, going back to why I feel like

534
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 15: we need media reform, everything is we got to tell

535
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 15: both sides.

536
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 16: Well, what's the other side of the truth?

537
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 19: A lie?

538
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 16: That's problematic?

539
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 20: Right?

540
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 15: It's very and it becomes divisive because then it's everything

541
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 15: is us and them, them and us me against you.

542
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 15: And some stories are nuanced, some stories have seven, eight,

543
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 15: nine sides, not just two. And so I think right

544
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 15: now we're living at a time where everything is left right, Republican, democratic,

545
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 15: and I'll just be honest for me, I don't And

546
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 15: I think I hear this a lot from people I

547
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 15: talk to in community. Is not everybody sees themselves represented

548
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 15: in those identities, and the deeper you get into black

549
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 15: and brown communities, people don't really see.

550
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 16: Themselves represented in that.

551
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 15: And so America has to get to a place where

552
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 15: we depoliticize humanity.

553
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 16: Everything is not political.

554
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 15: Some things like we just witnessed to a woman be

555
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 15: brutally shot in the face, a US citizen, and then

556
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 15: our politicians are trying to force feed us that this

557
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 15: is about immigration, and then we just saw another US

558
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:36,239
Speaker 15: citizen be shot down, and it's this isn't immigration, but

559
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 15: it has become political because our elected officials are not

560
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 15: seeing the humanity of these US citizens and they're giving

561
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 15: us all of these different justifications. At the end of

562
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 15: the day, if America didn't have such a hard time

563
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 15: listening to black women, I think looking back at the

564
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 15: church protests that had everybody, and believe me, I lived

565
00:29:59,040 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 15: in the Deep.

566
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 16: South and the Bible Belt.

567
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 15: I was getting calls, Georgia, what was you doing in

568
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 15: the church doing the protest? But if y'all would have

569
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 15: just listened to a black woman, Alex pretty might still

570
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 15: be here today.

571
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 10: I heartily agree with you.

572
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 12: I also think along with that, there's something that I

573
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 12: echo a lot with Angela and Andrew is that many

574
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 12: times we get caught in our own silos and we

575
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 12: seek out news and opinions that reinforce our own views.

576
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 12: And we live in very segregated communities. We just do,

577
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 12: particularly in the South. What's the most segregated place in

578
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 12: the country. Church on Sunday in the South, right, And

579
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 12: oftentimes we don't get out of our silos to hear

580
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 12: the opinions of others. And I think in order to

581
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 12: give people the benefit of their humanity which they don't

582
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 12: give us, sometimes you have to. I like that deep

583
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 12: politicized humanity as both Paul's real quick. One second, y'all

584
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 12: say hello to my good friend Derek who just joined

585
00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 12: us today.

586
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 10: I don't know if y'all know this man. Do y'all

587
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,719
Speaker 10: know this man? Do y'all know him?

588
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 12: Derek Johnson from Mississippi. That's how we pronounce it downside

589
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 12: by way of Detroit. Who's here with us today. I

590
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 12: got a big.

591
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,479
Speaker 10: Question for you. We're not gonna do these questions right here.

592
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 10: I'm sorry. I got a big question.

593
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 12: For you, and then we'll do these rapid responses because

594
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 12: that was I'm gonna ask you some questions in the

595
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 12: back along that line, but people oftentimes ask the question,

596
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 12: is the NAACP ready for this moment? That's the first question.

597
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 12: Is the NAACP necessary now? Mind you, I say yes

598
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 12: to both of them, but you need to be able

599
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 12: to answer that for these folks.

600
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 10: And also talk to me about the moment.

601
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 12: That we're in, because you, as a student of history,

602
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 12: can go and talk about since the inception of the

603
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 12: NAACP through now and is this something we've seen before?

604
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 12: Is this a new struggle? Are people is being sick

605
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 12: in time? Being sick and tired? Is that something that

606
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:03,959
Speaker 12: we just have Do we have to deal with this

607
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 12: every four or five years? How do we this is

608
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 12: this You may not be able to answers, but how do

609
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 12: we break these chains?

610
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 21: So thank you didn't even give you one. You know,

611
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 21: the question is is NACP ready for this moment? The

612
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 21: real question are black people ready for this moment? Our

613
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 21: institutions are as strong as we populate them and give

614
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 21: them strength. And any time we set our institutions over

615
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 21: here and we put us over there, that's a losing proposition.

616
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 21: And never in the history of the black community has

617
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 21: there been a singular leader a singular organization or a

618
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 21: singular strategy. The real question for all of us, if

619
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 21: we are going to lend our voice to freedom self determination,

620
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 21: what vehicle are we going to use to get there?

621
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 10: And I'm agnostic.

622
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 21: You can pick any of the vehicles, but pick one

623
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 21: and get off the sideline of criticis.

624
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:07,959
Speaker 10: Amen right history, we have never seen this before.

625
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 21: We've always seen this before at the exact same time,

626
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 21: because this fight is about power, domination and control, and

627
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 21: what we are witnessing is in a democracy where your

628
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 21: vote is your currency, they're running out.

629
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 10: Of white people to have enough votes.

630
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 12: In that called the browning of America that Stephen Miller

631
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 12: is definitely afraid of.

632
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 21: In nineteen o nine when we were created with those

633
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 21: Africans who had American citizenship met the year before, who was.

634
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 10: Asked to join those non whites in.

635
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 21: The media in New York because they were non white.

636
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 21: Because if you was Irish Italian, you was not white.

637
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 21: If you was Jewish, you was not white. If you

638
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 21: was anything other than Anglo stacks in Protestant you was

639
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 21: not white because racist or social construct and each one

640
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 21: of those individuals were not doing this to say black

641
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,479
Speaker 21: people are doing it because their own communities were under attack.

642
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 21: But then when le Garde gets elected in thirty four

643
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 21: in New York, who.

644
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 10: Was Italian, and they begin to carve.

645
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 21: Up to see the New York and say, these are

646
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 21: the Irish districts, and here are the Italian districts.

647
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 10: In Harlem, you get the black district. And then World

648
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 10: War two.

649
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 21: Happened, and then the washp class beget out of beginning

650
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,919
Speaker 21: to run out of white people. Oh Irish, we're gonna

651
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 21: give your president. You could be white now. Oh Jewish,

652
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 21: it's not world War two. We're gonna make you white now.

653
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 21: And that process continue. The difference is we can never

654
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 21: join the white club.

655
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 2: And I'm okay with that.

656
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 21: But the white club was frustrated because the New Deal

657
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 21: policies and the shifting of tax policies, and from nineteen

658
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 21: thirty two up until last year, the big Ugly Bill.

659
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 21: That's been the fight throughout. We've seen this before and

660
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 21: we've never seen it at the exact same time. And

661
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 21: so the use of othering to divide and the store

662
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 21: to cover up the tax policy ship, the use of

663
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 21: othering to divide in the store to cover up the esteem.

664
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 21: Epstein files that still have not been released to use

665
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 21: of divide and the store to show to try to

666
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 21: cover up the fact that white Middle America, your pockets

667
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 21: have been picked.

668
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 10: Your farms cannot.

669
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 21: Be harvest and your jobs you cannot sell cheap labor

670
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 21: because we're not doing those jobs. Again, that's what this

671
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 21: is all about. Mass distraction and distortion. We've never seen

672
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 21: this before, and we've seen it before.

673
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 12: So the reason when anybody asked me, the reason, the

674
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 12: reason that I have faith in the NAACP is your

675
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,399
Speaker 12: only really as good as your membership. That membership looks

676
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 12: like us, and it's very strong, but you're also as

677
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 12: good as the leadership that the member elects.

678
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 10: You want me to leave Derek up here for this

679
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 10: next panel? What? Oh so? Anyway?

680
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 12: I got some more questions for him. But you know,

681
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:57,720
Speaker 12: Angela's the boss of the podcast.

682
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,080
Speaker 10: Everybody know that. But I do want you to do

683
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 10: me one big favor.

684
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 12: I want you guys to stand up and give a

685
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 12: round of applause to these four individuals who are on

686
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 12: stage with me tonight.

687
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 22: Stand up, take your bow, Elizabeth, Georgia Vaughn, Dear, thank

688
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 22: you for joining the Native Podcast. Next up is Andrew Gillham.

689
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 22: And by the way, we are not the same person.

690
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 22: I'm really happy that we are both in a room together.

691
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 10: You can't top that.

692
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 13: Thank you, Bagard, thank you, thank you, thank you, Beyonce. Y'all,

693
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 13: we're gonna keep it, keep it moving one. Thank you

00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 13: all again for your patience for being here with us

695
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 13: and your energy level. We're gonna keep this conversation going

696
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 13: with a panel of some elected officials, our political leaders.

697
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 13: We keep name checking our electeds, and tonight we've had

698
00:36:49,960 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 13: a couple of them agree to join us, and so

699
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 13: I'll go through a little bit of an introduction, some questions,

700
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 13: and then we'll have this mic right here.

701
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 11: To my right, you're left where we'll.

702
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 13: Take audience questions. So not to belabor, let's bring our

703
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 13: panelists up. We're gonna start with some familiar names.

704
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 10: You know, well state senators.

705
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 13: They to have Mohammad give her a round of applause.

706
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 13: Stay Representative Cedric Frasier, the immediate.

707
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 23: Passed and forty sixth mayor of Saint Paul, Minnesota, my

708
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 23: brother from fam you Melvin Carter, and.

709
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,919
Speaker 11: Another young leader in this state.

710
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 24: Y'all have potential on potential, on potential, y'all have a

711
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 24: pipeline here in this state of incredible young leaders, and

712
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 24: this one is no is no exception, and that is

713
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 24: your Lieutenant Governor, Miss Peggy Flanagans.

714
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 13: And Senator Zev Muhammad. We introduce you first. You probably

715
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 13: were further back there. Y'all give the senator another rap

716
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 13: of applause means so, no, you can't see the audience,

717
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 13: but they can see you, watch your expressions. One I

718
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:38,280
Speaker 13: want to thank each of you are elected leaders the folks,

719
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 13: whether you are holding political position at this moment in time,

720
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 13: once you've established yourself in the community as.

721
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 11: A leader, people look to you for leadership.

722
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 13: And I can only imagine that these last couple of

723
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:54,280
Speaker 13: uh well now over a month probably of this federal occupation,

724
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 13: a government force that was sent here supposedly to.

725
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 11: Bring safety and peace.

726
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 13: I have to treat it like I treat everything that

727
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 13: comes out of the President's mouth. Whatever they say, interpret

728
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 13: the opposite, because instead of peace and safety, we've gotten chaos,

729
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 13: we've gotten destruction, and we've gotten death. And Lieutenant govern

730
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 13: I'm gonna start with you with this question, which is

731
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 13: to simply the set out the states. What has it

732
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 13: been like trying to lead during this time, supporting your governor,

733
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 13: holding down your position, supporting these electeds around the state,

734
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 13: and the most importantly, supporting your people.

735
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 11: What's the state of mind? How are you all getting

736
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 11: through this?

737
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 13: And where do you diagnose where you are right now

738
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:42,720
Speaker 13: in this fight with the feats?

739
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 25: Well, I would say we're exhausted, but not tired. And

740
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 25: as we have watched over the last eight weeks, but like,

741
00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 25: let's be real, the surge has started, but ice has

742
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 25: been here for a long time, and so you know

743
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 25: what we have seen and I absolutely am eager to

744
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 25: hear from my colleagues because they have been on the

745
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 25: front lines. But what we have seen is just absolute

746
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 25: chaos and fear. And what is being done under the

747
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 25: guise of safety right couldn't be further from the truth.

748
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 25: When there are two Minnesotans who have been killed by ice,

749
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 25: when we have five year olds and two year olds

750
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 25: who are being detained and brought to Texas, and just

751
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 25: the lies, the lies, the continue to come out of

752
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 25: this administration about the individuals who have been killed at

753
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 25: their hands.

754
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 14: It is outrageous.

755
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 25: And so what I have seen over the last several

756
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 25: weeks is the best of Minnesota is folks who are

757
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 25: stepping up, who are standing outside of schools and daycares

758
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 25: and churches and getting food and mutual aid and responding

759
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 25: in a way that I think folks weren't expecting from Minnesota.

760
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 25: But we care about each other. We stand up for

761
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 25: our neighbors. And this isn't just about the Twin Cities.

762
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 25: As we've been traveling across the state, ice is everywhere. Right,

763
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 25: We're in Alexandria, they're there, Detroit Lakes they're there, Saint

764
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 25: Cloud they're there. And so this just terror has to stop,

765
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 25: and they got to get out. And I want to

766
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 25: just name something that I think is really there's a

767
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 25: through line here. Individuals who are being detained are being

768
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 25: brought to Fort Snelling, which was essentially a concentration camp

769
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:05,439
Speaker 25: for Dakota women, children and elders, and now that's where

770
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 25: folks are bringing, you know, brought to in this moment.

771
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 25: And so the through line is that the federal government

772
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 25: continues this long cycle right of separating families of detention.

773
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 25: And so I would say again we are exhausted, but

774
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 25: not tired, and will continue to show up for our neighbors,

775
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 25: continue to use non violent protest and resistance. And that's

776
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 25: what you've seen happen all across the state, and so

777
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 25: much of the groundwork that has been laid is because

778
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 25: of the good organizing work that has happened over the

779
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 25: last several decades in this state. People have relationships, they

780
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 25: have trust, right and we can then just put all

781
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 25: that into action.

782
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 11: And actually give it a run of the cause. It's

783
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 11: been pretty obvious that you can.

784
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 13: You can't overcome the will and quite frankly, the sheer

785
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 13: might that they put on the ground overwhelm me the

786
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 13: law enforcement of the communities here in Minnesota and Minneapolis

787
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 13: in the surrounding area unless you have deep, well built, trusted.

788
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,800
Speaker 11: And strong relationships that can carry you through.

789
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 13: Senator the Lieutenant Governor really set the framework by bringing

790
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 13: in our Native brothers and sisters in the history of

791
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 13: the dissension facilities here of to just put it plainly,

792
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 13: the racism that guys the policies of this administration, gentlemen,

793
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 13: I'm being generous with this term, but Stephen Miller, the

794
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 13: avout I think, unapologetic racist that runs these policies in

795
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 13: the White House, use the pretexts in part for coming

796
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 13: to minute, Minnesota, the Somali community, as President says low

797
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 13: Iq right, which the man who stated that couldn't be

798
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 13: lower in an Iq as far as I'm concerned. But

799
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 13: for those of us who were watched from outside, I mean,

800
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 13: I've been offended every time I've heard the President speak

801
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 13: about Somali Americans, but as is Somali American yourself, and

802
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:35,280
Speaker 13: I realized that your jurisdiction and your governance now expands

803
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 13: far beyond that. But it be a haphazard of me

804
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 13: not to ask you how is this reverberating within the

805
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 13: Somali community here in the state, the attacks and what

806
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 13: does mutual aid? How is that coming? And to focus

807
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 13: for your community? Are their needs that this group, those

808
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,919
Speaker 13: who are watching, those of us around the country where

809
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 13: spread out is, are there things.

810
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,240
Speaker 11: We can do to be a greater aid and support.

811
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 26: Thank you for having me, and thank you everybody for

812
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 26: being here. Well, first of all, the smaller community here

813
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 26: is a large community, but compared to the rest of

814
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 26: the community, to small community right where eighty thousand people,

815
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 26: if not less, across the country, less than two hundred

816
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 26: thousand people were a fraction of the population of this country.

817
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 27: And I think to see some of.

818
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 26: The most powerful people in this country, whether it's this

819
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 26: administration or tech billionaires, and the ways in which that

820
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 26: they're using the algorithm to talk about our community.

821
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 9: Has been disheartening.

822
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 26: And the one thing I know about Somali people is

823
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 26: that we're an incredibly resilient community. I came to this

824
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 26: country when I was nine years old and I am

825
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 26: twenty eight years old. My community has been here for

826
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 26: less than thirty years, but.

827
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 14: They have made Minnesota their home.

828
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 26: They are not everywhere you go, whether you're coming out

829
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 26: of the airport, you're the person who's checking you in

830
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 26: or checking you out as a Somali person. That your

831
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 26: Uber driver is a Somali person. When you take your

832
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 26: mother to a nursing home or it's our final days,

833
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 26: the person who's taking care of them is a Somali person.

834
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 26: The thing I learned in the last five years from

835
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 26: Minnesota since the murder of George Floyd is just how

836
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 26: resilient Minnesotans are and how much we're a fabric of

837
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 26: this community. So many of the people who are on

838
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 26: the ground that are protesting what's happening are also speaking

839
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 26: about the frustrations that they're feeling about what people are

840
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 26: saying about their Somali neighbors. And what I have seen

841
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,240
Speaker 26: from my neighbors is I don't think I've shoveled a day.

842
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 14: There's a day.

843
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 26: There's not a single day I've shoveled snow this year.

844
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 26: And it's because my neighbors understand the work that I'm

845
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 26: doing and they're showing up for each other.

846
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 2: We have done massive.

847
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,879
Speaker 26: Food drives for through a number of schools in our communities.

848
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 26: We have seen people raise thousands of dollars. I think

849
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 26: I put a goal GoFundMe on my social media and

850
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 26: by the end of the day had raised like fifty

851
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:06,919
Speaker 26: thousand dollars. And so Minnesotans understand that at a time

852
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 26: where in the federal governments, the state government, every system

853
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 26: that we know that's supposed to help people is failing.

854
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 26: They are looking to each other and they're creating systems.

855
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 26: And I just have never seen such a powerful community

856
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 26: just across the board. I mean, we have like we

857
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 26: are better than the police, we are better than the government.

858
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 26: Like I'm like, these people can do whatever and nobody.

859
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:29,879
Speaker 14: Can can do anything better.

860
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 26: But we're a resilient community and at the end of

861
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 26: the day, him speaking about Somali's it just means he's

862
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 26: talking about Minnesotans, because that's who we are, that's our community.

863
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 11: I love that.

864
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 10: I love the.

865
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 11: So Renegga and Alex Preddy.

866
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 13: We should say their names and lift up their family

867
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 13: and their loved ones in.

868
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,760
Speaker 11: Their absence right now, in their physical absence.

869
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 13: Black bodies have been put on the line quite a

870
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 13: bit in this state. In fact, most of us around

871
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 13: the nation began paying attention because of the black lives

872
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 13: that have been risked here. Have you representative noticed any bifurcation,

873
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 13: any difference in response from the community based off of

874
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 13: who the victims are, or is it true that people

875
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 13: are seeing an assault on one as an assault on everybody.

876
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:27,840
Speaker 13: I'd love your honest interpretation of that.

877
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 28: No, thank you for that, and thanks thanks for having

878
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 28: me out here. I appreciate that, and thanks for the

879
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 28: audience for being here tonight during these trying times. I

880
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 28: just want to I need to say again that I

881
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 28: am very proud of the way Minnesota has stood up.

882
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,280
Speaker 28: We are showing not only the rest of the country

883
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,399
Speaker 28: but the world how you push back when you're looking

884
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 28: at tyranny and authoritarianism trying to be forced upon you.

885
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,479
Speaker 28: So Minnesota shul always give themselves a hand and around

886
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 28: applause for that, you know.

887
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 10: And I've been saying.

888
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,919
Speaker 28: This, and I've been I've been in many rooms since

889
00:48:57,960 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 28: this has been happening here in the state. What I've

890
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 28: been saying and the most folks is because you keep

891
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 28: showing up, it gives me hope. We may feel helpless,

892
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 28: but we're not hopeless.

893
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 29: Right.

894
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 10: We may be tired, but we're not given up.

895
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 28: And what I'll say, what I say also is that

896
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 28: they picked the wrong state. Right there were and I

897
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 28: say that, and I say it because of this reason.

898
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 28: Only right there were people killed before they came to

899
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 28: the state of Minnesota. I say, you just had killed

900
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 28: the folks. But we made sure that the rest of

901
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 28: the world and the rest of the country knew exactly

902
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 28: what was happening here. We made sure we were going

903
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 28: to have the receipts in real time to show the

904
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 28: rest of the world and the rest of the country

905
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 28: what was happening here on the ground in Minnesota. And

906
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 28: that happens because of what we've been through in this state.

907
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 28: You know, my sisters just talked about George Floyd. We

908
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 28: built a system of community after what happened to George Floyd.

909
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:43,839
Speaker 10: Right. And let me say this, I what I tell

910
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 10: folks all the time, because.

911
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 28: When we played the politics here, I still hear some

912
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 28: of my Republican politagies talking about we're going to go

913
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 28: back to the eighties or the nineties when we divided

914
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 28: and segregated, and we can we can put out and

915
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 28: we can demonize people and demonize people that didn't look

916
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 28: like the folks in the suburbs, right and look like

917
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 28: people in certain communities within those neighborhoods.

918
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 10: Right.

919
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 28: And what I always say to them is like, you're

920
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 28: living in a time that doesn't exist anymore. Because now

921
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:12,240
Speaker 28: our neighbors they know each other, our neighbors, their friends,

922
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 28: their family, their kids are hanging out, they're having sleepovers,

923
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:18,360
Speaker 28: they're doing carpools. They have a connection with their neighbors

924
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 28: that they didn't have when we had such segregated communities.

925
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,240
Speaker 28: That they didn't have in the seventies and the eighties.

926
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 28: We have those connections now. And because we have those connections,

927
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 28: what we were saying is, you're not going to tell

928
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 28: me that my neighbor that I should hate my neighbor,

929
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,760
Speaker 28: or be fearful of my neighbor because I know my neighbor.

930
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 28: I'm gonna give you this example right here, and I'm

931
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:38,959
Speaker 28: gonna stop with I'm gonna give.

932
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 10: You this example. My daughter.

933
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 28: I walk into the bus every morning. That's how I

934
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 28: find some peace and this chaotic stuff is going on.

935
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 28: And she's got a friend named Freedom that she's six

936
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 28: nice to every day. And when this president won and

937
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 28: they started going to school, she would say, hey, Freda

938
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 28: tells me that her family is really scared to go outside.

939
00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 10: I said, why is that.

940
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 28: She said, her family is there Mexican and they're feelful

941
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 28: that they're gonna get snatched if they come outside, so

942
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 28: they're not going to work anymore. And she doesn't know

943
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:07,319
Speaker 28: she's going to continue to be able to continue to

944
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 28: go to school. Jesse, yesterday, we're on the bus stop

945
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,399
Speaker 28: and I said, how's free to how's free to holding up?

946
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 28: She said, well, she told me she's probably going to

947
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 28: have to be homeschooled for the rest of the year,

948
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:19,279
Speaker 28: but she may be back next year.

949
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 10: She texts her. Literally, it's almost real time. Broke my heart.

950
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 28: She text my daughter as they're waiting for the bus,

951
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 28: stop and the bus is always late in it's cold outside,

952
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:29,280
Speaker 28: So we didn't deal with that right. So she texts

953
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 28: my daughter and she says, I'm no longer going to

954
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 28: be riding the bus for the rest of the school year.

955
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 28: I believe I'm going to be in school. I'm be

956
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 28: a parent pickup, but I'm gonna be riding the bus.

957
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 28: My daughter texts back, what's going on? She says, because

958
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 28: of this.

959
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:44,359
Speaker 10: Ice thing broke my heart.

960
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:47,879
Speaker 28: Breaks my heart to know that this is what our

961
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,840
Speaker 28: young people have to deal with. They're tearing found me

962
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 28: is apart. They're terrifying young people. But what gives me

963
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 28: always young people aren't going to forget about this.

964
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 10: They are.

965
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:01,879
Speaker 28: They are creating the future resistence to this right. They

966
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 28: are creating the future leaders that are going to know

967
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 28: what not to do when you're making policy. They're creating

968
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 28: the future leaders that are gonna know how to absolutely

969
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:12,399
Speaker 28: be proactive in taking care of their neighbors and taking

970
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 28: care of their community folks and being right there and

971
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 28: standing up for them.

972
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 10: So, no, I don't see a difference in their response.

973
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 28: I see our neighbors showing up here day in and

974
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 28: day out, just like the way they showed up when

975
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 28: George was murdered on the middle of the street in

976
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 28: broad daylight. I see them showing up and saying, enough

977
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 28: is enough. We're not going to stand for this. And

978
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 28: you know what, We're not going to have true healing

979
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 28: until we have accountability, and we're making sure we have

980
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:37,399
Speaker 28: the receipts for that accountability.

981
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 11: I love that.

982
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 10: Turn to the audience.

983
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 13: If you have a question, we can begin to form

984
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 13: a question line over here.

985
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 11: As I talked to Mayor Carter.

986
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 13: So you see, yesterday the President appeared to make some

987
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 13: sort of I actually don't know what to call is thing.

988
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:00,760
Speaker 13: Some people the media is running with a pivot or

989
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 13: a retreat. The President did an interview thirty minutes before

990
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:11,280
Speaker 13: we started here this evening on Fox News and basically says,

991
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 13: not a retreat.

992
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 11: We're still he's.

993
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,800
Speaker 13: Still committed, so on and so forth, but thinks that

994
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 13: the deaths have been unfortunate in some other flowery language, again.

995
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 11: People executing his will on his behalf. But those were

996
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 11: his comments. I'm curious how you see.

997
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 13: This as whether or not this is a retreat, maybe

998
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 13: a retreat from the state of Minnesota to be reincarnated

999
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:36,720
Speaker 13: in another city.

1000
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 11: In another state someplace else.

1001
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 13: Or does the administration appear to have learned a lesson

1002
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 13: and we may see a secession here until at least

1003
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 13: after the midterms earned a lesson.

1004
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 30: No, I don't you said it from the beginning. At

1005
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 30: some point we have to understand that, you know, my

1006
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 30: angelous say, when somebody tells you who they are, believe them.

1007
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:06,799
Speaker 30: And at some point we have to understand that the

1008
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 30: things that they are doing are a feature of their plan,

1009
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 30: not a bug of their plan. And y'all made it

1010
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 30: so inconvenient for them that he had to find a

1011
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 30: different news cycle. But do I think that the death

1012
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 30: of two absolute, completely innocent people is going to change

1013
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 30: their course?

1014
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 13: No?

1015
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:36,280
Speaker 10: And here's why.

1016
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 30: You know, after George Floyd was murdered, I was on

1017
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 30: some show and they asked me, you know, what are

1018
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 30: you going to do differently now that this happened?

1019
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 10: And I said nothing.

1020
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 30: And I said nothing, I said, Well, the most important

1021
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:46,839
Speaker 30: thing you have to know about the murder of George

1022
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 30: Floyd is how historically unsurprising it was that my father

1023
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,479
Speaker 30: and his father and his father could tell you about

1024
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 30: unarmed people being killed at the hands of law enforcement.

1025
00:54:57,920 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 30: And so we had to know that this was there.

1026
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 30: And the point that I was just trying to make

1027
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 30: is the things that we need to do because this happened,

1028
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 30: we actually already started doing before this happened in our work,

1029
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 30: because we know that this is that this is a phenomenon.

1030
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 30: But as my Lieutenant governor was talking about the Fort

1031
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 30: Snelling I was thinking about the dread Scott decision where

1032
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 30: they brought dread Scott to Fort Snelling and he sued

1033
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 30: and he said, Hey, I went to Fort Snelling, so

1034
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 30: you know, I ought to be free. And I'm not

1035
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 30: a legal scholar, but ultimately, what the Supreme Court of

1036
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 30: our country said, the United States Supreme Court that we

1037
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 30: look at as the highest level of justice in the

1038
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 30: on the planet. The Supreme Court said, We're not even

1039
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 30: going to actually answer your question, but what we'll tell

1040
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 30: you is that a black man has no rights that

1041
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 30: a white man is bound to respect in the first place.

1042
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:47,239
Speaker 30: And so I say all of that to say that,

1043
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 30: you know, when you place this in a historical arc,

1044
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 30: I think it would be farcical for us to assume

1045
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:58,240
Speaker 30: that these two murders, which are awful, by the way,

1046
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 30: the what's the the evilness with which they're operating is

1047
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:15,319
Speaker 30: asking the sheer incompetency with which they're operating. But I

1048
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 30: don't think that they are suddenly woke up this morning

1049
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 30: better in terms of competency or better in terms of

1050
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 30: morality either one because of.

1051
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 10: This news cycle.

1052
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 13: Here you're here, Are there any I'm gonna keep looking

1053
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 13: over here in case there are questions, and in the

1054
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:32,919
Speaker 13: absence of them, I know.

1055
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 11: We'll have to wrap soon.

1056
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:41,360
Speaker 13: But there is yeah, you to you, yes please.

1057
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 19: I'm so sorry.

1058
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 25: I just wanted to I wanted to build on what

1059
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 25: mayor Carter just said, because I think there is this

1060
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 25: idea today that somehow, because Greg Bovino is leaving, that

1061
00:56:56,239 --> 00:57:00,400
Speaker 25: somehow we're cool, right and bringing Tom Holman in. And

1062
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 25: I don't mean to be crude, but I saw a

1063
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 25: post today that said replacing Greg Bovino with Tom Holman

1064
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 25: is like pooping your pants and changing your shirt, right.

1065
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:12,799
Speaker 14: And so I just.

1066
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 25: I think that that's really important to know that going

1067
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 25: back to eight weeks ago is not enough, going back

1068
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 25: to six months ago is not enough, right, going back

1069
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 25: to February of twenty twenty five is not enough.

1070
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 10: Right.

1071
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 25: Ice has to get out, And it is very clear

1072
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 25: to me that this has been the plan all along.

1073
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 25: You have bright red signs in all caps that say

1074
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 25: mass deportations now behind Donald Trump at rallies at the

1075
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 25: Republican National Convention. This was not in the fine print, right,

1076
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 25: They've been saying what they are going to be doing

1077
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:57,960
Speaker 25: for a very long time. And so we can take

1078
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 25: a breath, We can catch our breath today for a moment,

1079
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 25: but get real that today we've already seen footage of

1080
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 25: people being violently pulled from vehicles, of.

1081
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 19: Folks being detained.

1082
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 2: So it is not over right.

1083
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 25: It's just that Donald Trump knows this is a bad look,

1084
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 25: and so a little bit of shuffling of the deck

1085
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 25: chairs is not going to cut it. They got to

1086
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 25: get out right and like we got to rip it

1087
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 25: apart and start over.

1088
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 11: That's right, Thank you. Listen to Gon.

1089
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 14: Good evening, Pane.

1090
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 31: I do want to have a I have a question

1091
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 31: and I also want to make a comment. I do

1092
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 31: want to refer back to the question about it being

1093
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 31: a change because of those who are now the murdered victims, right,

1094
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 31: and I think just coming from Minneapolis born and raised,

1095
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 31: there is.

1096
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 14: A change in response.

1097
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 31: There has been a change in response because not only

1098
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 31: was Renee good good enough and not only was George

1099
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 31: Floyd a good enough reason. This has been a white

1100
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,920
Speaker 31: male that has been murdered in broad daylight in America,

1101
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 31: on American soil. So the response that the nation has

1102
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 31: took over and the response even from the NRA has changed.

1103
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 31: We didn't get that same response with Filando Castile. So

1104
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 31: there is a difference in the response that we see

1105
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 31: with not only two white bodies, but it took for

1106
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 31: a middle aged white male to be murdered to get

1107
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 31: the response across the nation.

1108
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 10: But that's not my question.

1109
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 31: My question is to Lieutenant Governor Flanagan with the extortion

1110
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 31: letter that we received from Pam BONDI, what will be

1111
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 31: the response. I've seen the response from Governor Walls, but

1112
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:35,240
Speaker 31: what is our real response in regards to extortion which

1113
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:36,920
Speaker 31: is a crime which finger.

1114
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 13: You can thank Florida for that, by the way, thank

1115
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 13: you gift from Florida.

1116
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 11: Yeah.

1117
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 25: So I think we can go back to our Secretary

1118
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 25: State right, who is in charge of the voter rules,

1119
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 25: And his answer was simply no, right and no is

1120
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 25: a complete sentence. And he couldn't even give that information

1121
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 25: if you wanted to, because it is already illegal right

1122
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 25: to share that information. And so I'm glad that you

1123
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 25: brought that up, because let's be clear again, going back

1124
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 25: to the through line, preventing certain people from being able

1125
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 25: to vote is the goal, right, And so we have

1126
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 25: to be really clear, this is already in litigation.

1127
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 9: Right.

1128
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 25: They have already tried to ask for the voter roles.

1129
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 14: They have already tried to ask.

1130
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 25: For the names and identities and sensitive information of our

1131
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 25: neighbors who aren't who utilize public programs.

1132
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:34,919
Speaker 30: Right.

1133
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 25: Also, no, and so I think our incredible Secretary of State,

1134
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 25: along with our amazing Attorney General Keith Ellison, who by

1135
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 25: the way, has been the most valuable player right for

1136
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 25: our safe like suing the Trump administration fifty times, that

1137
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 25: is what this is all about. So Noah is a

1138
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 25: complete sentence, and I am grieful for the leadership of

1139
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 25: those two constitutional officers. But let's be clear, the goal

1140
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 25: is to try to prevent folks from voting, and we're

1141
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 25: not going to let that happen.

1142
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 14: Hello, Hanne, I have a question, and it's kind of.

1143
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 32: I don't want to say loaded, but I hear some

1144
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 32: of the comments and we all see the news, but

1145
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 32: I want to ask, how do we continue to build

1146
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 32: and trust as a community and a whole as a

1147
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 32: community without identifying and acknowledging some of the hurt and

1148
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 32: the pain some of our community has not only been

1149
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 32: through that's outside of this ice situation, but also the

1150
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 32: the things that has happened within certain communities that has

1151
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:56,680
Speaker 32: affected us as a whole. And as leaders and politicians,

1152
01:01:56,720 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 32: it's good to keep us good face, like I understand that,

1153
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 32: but for us as people to trust you all, it

1154
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 32: has to be knowledged because it's not just good, and

1155
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:08,960
Speaker 32: it's not just home all the time, and it's not

1156
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 32: just these things. There's things that's happened that has affected

1157
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 32: all of us from individual communities, and we want to

1158
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 32: welcome us as a whole.

1159
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 11: Examples, I don't.

1160
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 16: Necessarily want to.

1161
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 32: I don't think it's like effective to give like an

1162
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:24,520
Speaker 32: example really.

1163
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 11: Just in general.

1164
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 13: If the thing is is that in the black community,

1165
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 13: we've confronted X, and let me I think, I think, okay, okay,

1166
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:36,720
Speaker 13: never mind, this is inside conversation.

1167
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:39,120
Speaker 11: They know what the example is.

1168
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:43,080
Speaker 32: Okay, it's an inside conversation. As Minnesota, and I want

1169
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 32: to say I'm a proud Minnesota and I love the

1170
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 32: fabric that we've created. And I've never appreciated the term

1171
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:52,800
Speaker 32: Minnesota nice more than ever now. Minnesota nice means that

1172
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 32: we vibe check each other, and we have culturally acknowledged

1173
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 32: other people even when we don't know them deeply. We

1174
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:02,440
Speaker 32: say high and we give them a surface level kindness.

1175
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 32: And I've never appreciated Minnesota Knights as much as I

1176
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:07,640
Speaker 32: do now, and that's extended to everyone here in this room.

1177
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 32: But I just want to say, as leaders, we have

1178
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 32: to start to trust. We have to start acknowledging not

1179
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:15,880
Speaker 32: just the good but also the things that as humans

1180
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 32: are problematic that affects other people.

1181
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, but let's be honest.

1182
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 30: That definition you just gave of Minnesota nice is a

1183
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 30: new definition of Minnesota nice. Absolutely, because my grandfather would

1184
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 30: have said, Minnesota nice means they don't call you the

1185
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:36,280
Speaker 30: N word, they smile at you while they deny your law. Absolutely,

1186
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 30: And so what you're talking about is so important because

1187
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 30: we're a state we've always planted our flag. We are

1188
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 30: a home ownership state, where education stay, where a healthy state,

1189
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 30: where an employment state, all those things, and all of

1190
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 30: those things are also the spaces in which we have the.

1191
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 10: Worst dispirities in the nation.

1192
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:00,480
Speaker 30: And when you were talking, I was Rember when I

1193
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 30: first ran for city council one hundred years ago. I

1194
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 30: remember telling a group of folks, I love Minnesota so much.

1195
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:10,600
Speaker 30: I want some of it in my neighborhood. And so

1196
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 30: but let me tell you, like what they're trying to do,

1197
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:16,120
Speaker 30: and let me tell you and the reason they chose

1198
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 30: the wrong state, what their.

1199
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 11: Goal is to do is pit us against each other.

1200
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:21,720
Speaker 10: And I saw it.

1201
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 30: We had an action in Saint Paul a couple months ago,

1202
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 30: and we were trying to get the Ice out of it.

1203
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 30: We got them out of there. We were trying to

1204
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 30: pull our police officers out of there. We got Ice

1205
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 30: all the way out there. They were all the way out.

1206
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:34,680
Speaker 10: Three ICE agents.

1207
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 30: Turned around and walked right back in the crowd, not

1208
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:39,520
Speaker 30: to arrest anybody, not just to like needle some folks

1209
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 30: and then walk out. And it went to hell. They're

1210
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:44,880
Speaker 30: doing that on purpose. They're trying to like figure out

1211
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 30: how to needle that in between.

1212
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:48,880
Speaker 11: Us on purpose. And you're right, sister, we.

1213
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 30: Have specific issues in our African American community. But one

1214
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 30: of the things that I think has has has pushed

1215
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:58,439
Speaker 30: Donald Trump to that place we've been able to hold

1216
01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:02,320
Speaker 30: our discipline. And when we hold our discipline, then the

1217
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:05,680
Speaker 30: news story isn't about some glasses that God broken.

1218
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 29: Or building they burned down, or is it the only.

1219
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 30: Thing they can cover is the fact that you murdered

1220
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 30: this man in the streets, shot him in the back.

1221
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 30: And so our ability to kind of navigate through this.

1222
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:18,440
Speaker 30: And let me tell you, I have conversations with people

1223
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 30: in so many different communities that well, our community and

1224
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 30: all of our communities are unique, and all of our

1225
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:25,760
Speaker 30: communities are challenged, and all of our communities are different,

1226
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 30: and we won't be able to hold together. You had

1227
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 30: the answer in your question, we won't be able to

1228
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:33,400
Speaker 30: hold together without acknowledging those uniquenesses and the unique pain

1229
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 30: points that our African American community has, and the unique

1230
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:38,320
Speaker 30: pain points that our Native community has, and then our

1231
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 30: Somoley community has, and our Jewish community have and those

1232
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 30: types of things. And the next level is making sure

1233
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:45,240
Speaker 30: that we're kind of pulling all of those things together

1234
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 30: and saying, yes, there's some uniqueness, is there, but like,

1235
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:50,360
Speaker 30: we have a common enemy right now who's trying to

1236
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 30: attack all of us, and our power exists in being

1237
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 30: able to be in this together.

1238
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 13: Nice, We've got two minutes, two minutes remaining, and I

1239
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 13: wanted to come back to our lodges on accountability. So

1240
01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:06,240
Speaker 13: right now, we've got a Justice Department that is really

1241
01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 13: the injustice department. Remember the inversion, if it comes from Trump,

1242
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 13: is the opposite.

1243
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:13,680
Speaker 11: This is the Justice Department, not under Pambondi.

1244
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:18,480
Speaker 13: They're doing anything, but what is just my question is

1245
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 13: is on the accountability front, the folks who were the

1246
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 13: ICE agents who are masked, and I believe they're masked

1247
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:26,720
Speaker 13: and don't want their faces shown because they've got to

1248
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:30,760
Speaker 13: create a dissidence between humanity and then what they see

1249
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 13: is inhumane, which is.

1250
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 11: Their behavior towards all the rest of us.

1251
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:38,080
Speaker 13: What does that look like in an administration where you've

1252
01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 13: got a Justice Department that won't fairly investigate, You've got

1253
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:45,880
Speaker 13: a president who is likely going to pardon outright every

1254
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:50,840
Speaker 13: ICE agent federally before he leaves office, and yet our

1255
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 13: communities have suffered devastating harm. How do we make sure

1256
01:06:57,760 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 13: that the individuals who perpetuated and rain down this harm

1257
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 13: on our communities get the cost of justice that they deserve.

1258
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:08,280
Speaker 28: So we've already started their process and that's a great question.

1259
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:09,920
Speaker 28: I'm glad you asked before we got out this panel.

1260
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:14,120
Speaker 28: So we've started their process County Attorney may Mriorati, Attorney

1261
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 28: General Keith Ellison, who said one of our superstars, they're

1262
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:20,960
Speaker 28: already they've created portals to collect evidence, to collect information

1263
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:22,880
Speaker 28: so that we can see what kind of harms are

1264
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:25,040
Speaker 28: being done, so that we can then vet that information

1265
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:26,400
Speaker 28: for potential charging.

1266
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 10: I think County Attornity Mary Mority.

1267
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:30,320
Speaker 28: Came out to day and said we think she believes

1268
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 28: they have some sufficient evidence to move forward on the

1269
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 28: renee Good matter pretty soon.

1270
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:38,760
Speaker 10: So we are already in the process of doing that.

1271
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 28: We've got some legislation that we that we're crafting to

1272
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:43,240
Speaker 28: move forward to get people the ability to sue civilly

1273
01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 28: for the harms that it's been done by these federal agents.

1274
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 28: The one thing I think they're gonna have a hard

1275
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:50,240
Speaker 28: time doing. We've got some really smart people out there

1276
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:52,959
Speaker 28: that can catch people and identify people with some freak

1277
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 28: facial recognition stuff. We're going to find these folks, And

1278
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 28: what I told people is going to be similar to

1279
01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:00,680
Speaker 28: how maybe like the Nuremberg trial and the jacent It's

1280
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 28: gonna be after the fact. But we're gonna find you

1281
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 28: and we're gonna hold you accountable. And the one thing

1282
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:12,720
Speaker 28: for murder, there's no statute of limitation. So so, but

1283
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 28: what I will tell you to the community, and I

1284
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 28: didn't come here to campaign, but I will tell you

1285
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 28: to the community. You have to look at the people

1286
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 28: that are running to be leaders in these offices and

1287
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 28: positions that will be in a position to try these cases,

1288
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:29,559
Speaker 28: to charge these cases and hope people account right. Look

1289
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:31,920
Speaker 28: at how those candidates are moving right now to give

1290
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:34,640
Speaker 28: you a pretty good idea of what they may or

1291
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:37,559
Speaker 28: may not do if they're leading those offices. So we're

1292
01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 28: gonna need strong leaders to make sure we carry that

1293
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:41,679
Speaker 28: out and have the accountability because like I said, there's

1294
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:44,320
Speaker 28: not going to be any healing until we do have accountability.

1295
01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 11: There it is Minnesota, y'all have some of the best.

1296
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 11: You all have some of the best.

1297
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 13: Elected officials that I've encountered around the country.

1298
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:56,960
Speaker 10: Will you give it up again for all four.

1299
01:08:56,800 --> 01:09:00,400
Speaker 11: Of our panelists or what the sacrifice.

1300
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:10,200
Speaker 29: In this tests?

1301
01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:12,280
Speaker 1: All right, everybody's give it up one more time for

1302
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 1: these outstanding elected officials.

1328
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:34,679
Speaker 1: know him, at home. We've seen him go viral recently

1329
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:38,000
Speaker 1: for some powerful remarks in the face of ice terrorism.

1330

Speaker 14: Oh this brother I know very very well.

1332
01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:54,960
Speaker 1: We became close after I read his New York Times

1333
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:59,640
Speaker 1: best selling book My Grandmother's Hands. And you all know

1334
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:02,599
Speaker 1: that Resma Minicum is doing the work of the people

1335
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:06,680
Speaker 1: every single day in Minnesota, making sure that we are

1336
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:09,800
Speaker 1: able to process the trauma that we experience on a

1337
01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:11,960
Speaker 1: day to day basis and resume wherever you want to sit.

1338
01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:15,599
Speaker 14: We thank God for you. Oh no it's not. It's

1339
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:16,559
Speaker 14: not last just yet.

1340
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:21,439
Speaker 1: So Attorney Leslie Redmond, I want you all to give

1341
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:24,280
Speaker 1: it up for her, because literally this would not have

1342
01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:28,960
Speaker 1: happened if it wasn't for Leslie. Leslie brought every single resource.

1343
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 1: Somebody wasn't calling me back. Leslie was like, since I

1344
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 1: got you, let me say less.

1345
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:34,639
Speaker 14: And she was on it. So I just really thank

1346
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:36,160
Speaker 14: God for you, Leslie. Thank you so much.

1347
01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:39,040
Speaker 1: And it was very important to Leslie that she was

1348
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 1: on a panel this evening with someone who she loves

1349
01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:43,120
Speaker 1: very dearly.

1350
01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:45,519
Speaker 14: He has a shared sibling to us.

1351
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:49,519
Speaker 1: He is President Derek Johnson of the naacps coming back

1352
01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:51,920
Speaker 1: to join us to chat it up a little bit,

1353
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:54,000
Speaker 1: all right.

1354
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:57,320
Speaker 14: So Resma, I want to start with you. I do

1355
01:11:57,400 --> 01:11:58,320
Speaker 14: because you know why.

1356
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:00,320
Speaker 1: Let me tell you why, because the one thing I

1357
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:02,680
Speaker 1: know you're gonna do is get us straight. We got

1358
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:06,200
Speaker 1: to heal like where right now people are saying, oh, well,

1359
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:08,439
Speaker 1: there's no point in being in Minnesota anymore.

1360
01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:09,839
Speaker 14: They're about to withdraw eyes.

1361
01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 1: But now there's all of this destruction, literally death, literally

1362
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:19,240
Speaker 1: grief as we sit here right now. Ilhan, our dear sister,

1363
01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:22,599
Speaker 1: was holding a town hall and a man comes up

1364
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:25,839
Speaker 1: and sprays some foreign substance on her in her direction.

1365
01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:29,439
Speaker 1: Ilhan is the smallest giant I have ever seen in

1366
01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:29,800
Speaker 1: my life.

1367
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:32,800
Speaker 14: So she was like, the town all gonna continu but.

1368
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:35,080
Speaker 1: I think that it's important for us to understand how

1369
01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:36,680
Speaker 1: we reckon with what's going on.

1370
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:39,040
Speaker 14: And as doctor King Best said, where do we go

1371
01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:39,559
Speaker 14: from here?

1372
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:40,280
Speaker 10: Yeah?

1373
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:43,799
Speaker 33: You know, Doctor King also said another thing. He said

1374
01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:47,280
Speaker 33: that just before he passed. He said, you know, I'm

1375
01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:50,439
Speaker 33: afraid that I've taken my people into a burning house,

1376
01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:53,920
Speaker 33: right and I want to start there because a lot

1377
01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:56,840
Speaker 33: of times we start with healing like this, like it's

1378
01:12:56,840 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 33: this magical thing. Right, And what I want to say

1379
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:03,880
Speaker 33: is if in this moment in time where people are

1380
01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:08,640
Speaker 33: being murdered in the streets, that are officials' only caveat

1381
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:12,080
Speaker 33: is to say we need to be better. They are

1382
01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:15,840
Speaker 33: leading us into a burning building. You get to be

1383
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:19,960
Speaker 33: angry in this moment, You get to be pissed off.

1384
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:20,639
Speaker 10: In this moment.

1385
01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:24,839
Speaker 33: You get to figure out how you turn towards each other.

1386
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 10: As opposed to on each other. That's what they want

1387
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 10: us to do.

1388
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:31,960
Speaker 33: And so when I talk about healing, about healing, I'm

1389
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:37,200
Speaker 33: talking about how do we tend to the things snatching babies.

1390
01:13:37,640 --> 01:13:39,320
Speaker 10: Out of people's arms.

1391
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:44,040
Speaker 33: They're executing people by shooting them in the back and

1392
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:47,320
Speaker 33: in the chest, and don't care that you're filming it.

1393
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:51,920
Speaker 33: They're shooting women in the face and then calling them

1394
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:53,960
Speaker 33: foul names after they do it.

1395
01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:57,280
Speaker 11: They kneeling. And let me say this last piece.

1396
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:00,000
Speaker 10: This don't sound healing, but it is healing.

1397
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:03,080
Speaker 33: What I'm talking to you about is healing is tending

1398
01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:07,320
Speaker 33: to the things that are showing up and beginning to

1399
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:11,800
Speaker 33: figure out how you use that as fuel for your liberation. Right,

1400
01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:15,160
Speaker 33: We're not going to get out of this and return

1401
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:17,719
Speaker 33: back Gavin Newsom ain't coming to save a Shaw.

1402
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:21,439
Speaker 14: Can you say it again? Gay got mad at me

1403
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:22,640
Speaker 14: when I went together.

1404
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:29,040
Speaker 33: Gather Newsome, the current governor of Minnesota, are not coming

1405
01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 33: to save us.

1406
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:32,519
Speaker 10: What Let me just ask this one question.

1407
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:36,880
Speaker 33: What if what we're seeing right now is the best

1408
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:39,720
Speaker 33: they got?

1409
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:42,640
Speaker 10: What if there are no better angels?

1410
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:48,120
Speaker 33: What if what we're seeing is all they got for us?

1411
01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:49,360
Speaker 11: What does that.

1412
01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:52,840
Speaker 33: Mean in terms of what we need to do right?

1413
01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:55,400
Speaker 33: And that's what I want to talk about when I

1414
01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:56,040
Speaker 33: say healing.

1415
01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:57,120
Speaker 10: So when your question.

1416
01:14:56,920 --> 01:15:00,640
Speaker 33: About healing says we have to start nobody coming to

1417
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:03,559
Speaker 33: save us. The mid terms ain't coming to save us.

1418
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:07,639
Speaker 33: We are being asked right now, who are we going

1419
01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:09,800
Speaker 33: to be in the face of tyranny?

1420
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:11,599
Speaker 10: That's the healing.

1421
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:16,880
Speaker 14: Well, y'all see why we started here. He set the tone,

1422
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:17,559
Speaker 14: didn't he Eli?

1423
01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:21,559
Speaker 1: So I want to come to you because freedom is

1424
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 1: in the name of the fund And to Resmu's point,

1425
01:15:25,479 --> 01:15:27,960
Speaker 1: you know, for years we have toiled with this concept

1426
01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:31,599
Speaker 1: of freedom, but we're lacking in resource right So even

1427
01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:33,519
Speaker 1: right now we're like, what are we going to build? Well,

1428
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:35,479
Speaker 1: what are we going to build without proper resource? Like

1429
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:38,760
Speaker 1: we won't even stay going to black businesses multiple days

1430
01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:41,560
Speaker 1: a week unless there's a fast. Oh okay, but you

1431
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:43,559
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, like, we won't even support each

1432
01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:47,080
Speaker 1: other unless we're required for many of us.

1433
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:49,280
Speaker 14: I'm not saying all of us, too many of us.

1434
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:51,920
Speaker 14: So what does healing look like?

1435
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:55,120
Speaker 1: What does freedom look like without resource? And how do

1436
01:15:55,160 --> 01:15:58,519
Speaker 1: you encourage people to give what they have towards a

1437
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:00,320
Speaker 1: common cause toward our liberation?

1438
01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 29: M hmmm.

1439
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:14,000
Speaker 34: Well, One, we have incredible resources, as the rest of

1440
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 34: this state and the rest of this nation has bear

1441
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:22,800
Speaker 34: witness to. Uh, even when it seems as though there's lack.

1442
01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:26,599
Speaker 34: They may have looked at Minneapolis, Saint Paul, the Twin

1443
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:30,759
Speaker 34: Cities and thought that, you know, we were lacking in something,

1444
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:33,080
Speaker 34: we were weak, We were going to be easy that

1445
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:34,800
Speaker 34: you know, this was going to be a push over,

1446
01:16:35,080 --> 01:16:37,240
Speaker 34: that they were going to create an example lot of

1447
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:40,080
Speaker 34: us that they were then going to replicate another municipalities

1448
01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 34: around the country. What they saw was a people respond

1449
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:49,320
Speaker 34: robustly with a deep and embedded resource that's inside of us,

1450
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:50,280
Speaker 34: and that's people power.

1451
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:50,559
Speaker 7: Right.

1452
01:16:51,840 --> 01:16:52,520
Speaker 10: Uh.

1453
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:55,680
Speaker 34: So we are the resource and as Resmus said, no

1454
01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:57,160
Speaker 34: one is coming to save us.

1455
01:16:57,439 --> 01:16:59,200
Speaker 10: We're the help that we've been waiting on it.

1456
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:01,639
Speaker 34: So people have been able to see the power of people.

1457
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:05,600
Speaker 34: And I fundamentally believe in the power of people to

1458
01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:08,800
Speaker 34: impact the realities that we want to see around us,

1459
01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:11,240
Speaker 34: to help to create the realities that we want to

1460
01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 34: see around us. We said we were going to get

1461
01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:15,160
Speaker 34: ice out of here. We said that we were going

1462
01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:17,760
Speaker 34: to melt ice. We begin to see some of the

1463
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:20,960
Speaker 34: tactics that they use, and so we created counter tactics.

1464
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:24,040
Speaker 34: They weren't allowing people to be able to peacefully go

1465
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:27,960
Speaker 34: and get hygiene, or go to the grocery store or

1466
01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:30,599
Speaker 34: do whatever, and so what did people decided to do?

1467
01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:31,960
Speaker 10: So we decided to.

1468
01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:38,720
Speaker 34: Galvanize our own resources and to create alternative ways that

1469
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:41,080
Speaker 34: people would still be able to get food, still would

1470
01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:42,920
Speaker 34: be able to get provisions, still would be able to

1471
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:48,320
Speaker 34: get resourced. Right, So, you know, the top level to

1472
01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:51,599
Speaker 34: the answer of their question is we the people are

1473
01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:56,880
Speaker 34: the resource. We have absolutely everything that we need to

1474
01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:59,599
Speaker 34: create the reality that we want to see around us.

1475
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:01,960
Speaker 34: And so the nation was able to bear witness to

1476
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:12,679
Speaker 34: that in terms of in terms of our giving our

1477
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:19,040
Speaker 34: resources out, our financial, our emotional, whatever the resource is

1478
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:23,240
Speaker 34: that we are giving out. I am a firm believer

1479
01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:27,679
Speaker 34: in sowing and weeping that what we what we put out,

1480
01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:31,920
Speaker 34: we get back multifold. And what I'm investing now in

1481
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:33,600
Speaker 34: terms of I'm supposed to be at home with my

1482
01:18:33,680 --> 01:18:35,799
Speaker 34: family right now, right.

1483
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:39,280
Speaker 6: I have an eight day old daughter, but this is

1484
01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:40,360
Speaker 6: so important to me.

1485
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:44,640
Speaker 34: The environment that is cultivated is so important to me

1486
01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:48,880
Speaker 34: that I know I have to invest my time, my resources,

1487
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:52,360
Speaker 34: my intellectual abilities, well whatever it is that I got,

1488
01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 34: I know I gotta do this because twenty years from now,

1489
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:58,599
Speaker 34: I want her to inherit a certain type of America, right,

1490
01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:02,960
Speaker 34: And so so I'm going to invest in now. I'm

1491
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:05,760
Speaker 34: going to fight against the powers that be now. I'm

1492
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:08,599
Speaker 34: going to do whatever it needs to be happening now

1493
01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:11,400
Speaker 34: because I have to. I have to be fighting for

1494
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:15,840
Speaker 34: that greater later. And so, you know, those who are

1495
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:19,160
Speaker 34: having a tough time of deciding how they're going to

1496
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:21,519
Speaker 34: invest in or what they're going to invest in, I

1497
01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:24,880
Speaker 34: really don't know much to say to them, because to me,

1498
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 34: the state of the Union, the great conflammation, the great

1499
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:33,200
Speaker 34: fire that we see burning around us, If that's not

1500
01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:36,000
Speaker 34: clear indication enough that we have to get off of

1501
01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:39,080
Speaker 34: our resources and do something you know what again, whether

1502
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:41,880
Speaker 34: that is time, whether that is financial like whatever it is,

1503
01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:45,640
Speaker 34: I don't have a lot to say to anyone who

1504
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:48,120
Speaker 34: would sit on a fence in a moment like this.

1505
01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:51,240
Speaker 34: We have to do something or something that's going to

1506
01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:54,360
Speaker 34: happen to us. So I know that's a non answer,

1507
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 34: but that's what I have.

1508
01:19:56,680 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 1: It's perfect. I want to take this moment. Speaking of

1509
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:02,720
Speaker 1: resources I know we have in the audience. I hope

1510
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:05,000
Speaker 1: they're still here because we meant to acknowledge this earlier.

1511
01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:13,639
Speaker 1: Jazz Hampton, who is an attorney earlier somewhere yes, right here, okay,

1512
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:17,320
Speaker 1: and wanted to oh right over here, okay, yes, I

1513
01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:21,160
Speaker 1: can see in the dark now, Jazz, thank you so much.

1514
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:23,760
Speaker 1: For those of you who have had interaction with law

1515
01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:26,000
Speaker 1: enforcement and are still confused about what to do.

1516
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:27,800
Speaker 14: Jazz has an entire.

1517
01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:30,639
Speaker 2: App called Turn Turn.

1518
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:35,120
Speaker 1: Signal, and it's here to provide other resource to you. Also,

1519
01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:37,000
Speaker 1: you don't feel like you're loan, because we do have

1520
01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:40,160
Speaker 1: everything we need. So on that I want to go

1521
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:44,920
Speaker 1: to you YouTube because I think it's important. We are

1522
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:48,360
Speaker 1: always talking about what young people aren't doing, what young

1523
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:50,840
Speaker 1: people ought to do, and I think in rooms like this,

1524
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:53,400
Speaker 1: what I love to do. I love hearing from young

1525
01:20:53,439 --> 01:20:56,840
Speaker 1: people about what we're not getting right to facilitate the

1526
01:20:56,880 --> 01:20:59,640
Speaker 1: type of future that Eli just talked about. So what

1527
01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:02,439
Speaker 1: do we need to do differently to support young people

1528
01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:04,719
Speaker 1: because we're not getting it right. Clearly, it ain't on y'all,

1529
01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:08,479
Speaker 1: it's on us. We all all do y'all got okay, Well,

1530
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:10,960
Speaker 1: I'm all they young people too out here.

1531
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:14,040
Speaker 35: We've got some young people in the back of board members.

1532
01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:19,519
Speaker 35: Shout out, y'all, yeah, sure for more of us. First

1533
01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:21,439
Speaker 35: of all, I just want to thank you Angela and

1534
01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:23,920
Speaker 35: the rest of you know, the Native lampod and the

1535
01:21:23,960 --> 01:21:26,800
Speaker 35: whole the whole crew for reaching out to me, you know,

1536
01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:29,880
Speaker 35: me being a junior at the University of Minnesota, being

1537
01:21:29,960 --> 01:21:32,000
Speaker 35: you know, younger twenty one, and just being in the

1538
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:36,160
Speaker 35: space with so many amazing people, you know, legislators, just

1539
01:21:36,240 --> 01:21:38,160
Speaker 35: amazing people, you know, I'm trying to say, even president

1540
01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:39,240
Speaker 35: and a CP right here.

1541
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:39,840
Speaker 13: Yeah.

1542
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:43,599
Speaker 35: Yeah, So that's that's it's a blessing to be here, truly,

1543
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:47,639
Speaker 35: just talking to your point about maybe what the people

1544
01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:53,040
Speaker 35: before me can potentially work on. I mean, honestly speaking,

1545
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:55,559
Speaker 35: we're here because of people before me. So the first

1546
01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:57,920
Speaker 35: thing you have to always acknowledge the things and the

1547
01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:01,479
Speaker 35: gratitude to them or to kind of be here in

1548
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:04,320
Speaker 35: these spaces to do this. And even being BSU president,

1549
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:07,080
Speaker 35: you know, we're built on activism, We're built on change.

1550
01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:09,679
Speaker 35: We're built on fighting for what's right and fighting for

1551
01:22:10,200 --> 01:22:13,360
Speaker 35: the needs to create the better future as you talked

1552
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:15,400
Speaker 35: about for people coming in behind us. And that's kind

1553
01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:18,280
Speaker 35: of how I view this as well. As it can

1554
01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:19,720
Speaker 35: be tough as a student, you know, you want to

1555
01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:21,960
Speaker 35: focus on your academics. You want to focus on, you know,

1556
01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:24,519
Speaker 35: maybe your future like an internship or a job. That's

1557
01:22:24,560 --> 01:22:28,120
Speaker 35: what I'm looking for right now. But you know, but

1558
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:30,360
Speaker 35: at the end of the day, you can't deny what

1559
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:32,240
Speaker 35: reality is. And what reality is in front of us

1560
01:22:32,240 --> 01:22:35,040
Speaker 35: all within our communities is that ICE. ICE is a

1561
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:38,120
Speaker 35: terroristic organization. They're causing a lot of harm to our people.

1562
01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:42,200
Speaker 35: You know, whether that's old, young, whether that's immigrant or citizen,

1563
01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:45,280
Speaker 35: it doesn't matter what it is. They are causing continuous

1564
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:49,000
Speaker 35: havoc and terror. And I think the biggest thing is

1565
01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:53,479
Speaker 35: I don't know if you guys got wrong before, but

1566
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:55,720
Speaker 35: one thing I've learned is at least is just organization

1567
01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:59,559
Speaker 35: i'd say in the sense organization to gather troops, to

1568
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:05,599
Speaker 35: gather people. I think throughout multiple different areas, multiple differences,

1569
01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:08,160
Speaker 35: and even within our universities, there's definitely a lot of division.

1570
01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:12,519
Speaker 35: I'd say division because of I don't know whether it

1571
01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:16,320
Speaker 35: be you know, race or ethnicity, or economic status or

1572
01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:16,920
Speaker 35: whatever it might be.

1573
01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:19,400
Speaker 11: There's there's still that division and also.

1574
01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:24,760
Speaker 35: That sense of I know somebody mentioned it earlier, kind

1575
01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:26,920
Speaker 35: of like I don't really have to worry about if

1576
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:30,320
Speaker 35: it's not directly affecting me. And I know that that

1577
01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:33,200
Speaker 35: is not a good mindset to have at all, because

1578
01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:34,760
Speaker 35: when it gets to you, then who's going.

1579
01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:35,320
Speaker 2: To help you?

1580
01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:35,559
Speaker 10: Right?

1581
01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:39,040
Speaker 11: You feel me? Yeah, exactly.

1582
01:23:39,160 --> 01:23:42,080
Speaker 35: So I just view that as a sense of organization

1583
01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:46,320
Speaker 35: is key. Organization is important Continuously pushing and relying on

1584
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:49,200
Speaker 35: young youth people like me to step up out of

1585
01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:51,880
Speaker 35: this out of our shelves, to really be here in

1586
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:53,800
Speaker 35: these spaces. I mean, I'm so blessed to be here,

1587
01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:55,720
Speaker 35: but there's so many others that can be here that

1588
01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:58,040
Speaker 35: can really speak to so much more that I probably

1589
01:23:58,040 --> 01:24:00,479
Speaker 35: can't even speak to, and I want to to really

1590
01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:02,559
Speaker 35: push them to be here as well. I'd say so

1591
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:05,880
Speaker 35: pushing on the youth, pushing them to continuously push to

1592
01:24:05,880 --> 01:24:09,840
Speaker 35: be better. Organization is definitely another big key step, and

1593
01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:14,439
Speaker 35: I think hope as well. I think in a lot

1594
01:24:14,479 --> 01:24:17,360
Speaker 35: of ways that can be lost when you're maybe talking

1595
01:24:17,360 --> 01:24:20,080
Speaker 35: to certain people that are older than you. Maybe they've

1596
01:24:20,080 --> 01:24:21,519
Speaker 35: seen a lot or they've been through a lot, and

1597
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:25,120
Speaker 35: they don't really see that hope. But I think to

1598
01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:31,640
Speaker 35: continue pushing for hope is basically giving your services to

1599
01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:35,559
Speaker 35: your community. I think that can bring hope in a sense.

1600
01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:37,920
Speaker 35: Like let's say, if you're losing hope or if you're

1601
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:40,280
Speaker 35: losing whatever you're going through, one thing I always think

1602
01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:42,519
Speaker 35: about is going back to my community, being a service

1603
01:24:42,920 --> 01:24:45,519
Speaker 35: to my communities, and I think that is the first

1604
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:48,280
Speaker 35: step to hope, is relying back on your communities and

1605
01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:51,200
Speaker 35: pushing that forward as well as organization and you know,

1606
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:53,240
Speaker 35: pushing on the youth. So that's kind of my answer.

1607
01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:55,160
Speaker 14: I guess, thank you so much.

1608
01:24:56,280 --> 01:25:02,320
Speaker 1: I want to come to you, Attorney Leslie, and I

1609
01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:05,360
Speaker 1: want to sit here for a moment in what I

1610
01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:08,000
Speaker 1: believe is starting to take shape on the stage, which

1611
01:25:08,040 --> 01:25:11,200
Speaker 1: is the role of each community member, right like we

1612
01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:14,800
Speaker 1: all have a role to play. Some of us are

1613
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:17,760
Speaker 1: utility players. You're supposed to be in DC right now,

1614
01:25:17,800 --> 01:25:21,200
Speaker 1: but you feel called to stay home in Minnesota. Served

1615
01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:26,160
Speaker 1: as an NAACP president. I don't know how many organizations

1616
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:29,400
Speaker 1: you got now, but you connected us to multiple businesses

1617
01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:33,439
Speaker 1: today that needed support. When we talked about mutual aid,

1618
01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:35,439
Speaker 1: you said you knew some people that can help with

1619
01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:37,559
Speaker 1: mutual Like at every turn, there was.

1620
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:38,880
Speaker 14: A dot you were connecting.

1621
01:25:39,400 --> 01:25:42,720
Speaker 1: And I want to know what is the conviction that

1622
01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:45,840
Speaker 1: drives you to do that, and how do people who

1623
01:25:45,880 --> 01:25:48,080
Speaker 1: are sitting at home watching this on the live stream

1624
01:25:48,439 --> 01:25:52,000
Speaker 1: tap into that conviction even if they're not dot connectors,

1625
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:54,400
Speaker 1: maybe they are one that needs to be in service

1626
01:25:54,439 --> 01:25:57,200
Speaker 1: in a particular way. But what is that conviction that

1627
01:25:57,280 --> 01:25:59,759
Speaker 1: you tap into when it feels like hope is gone,

1628
01:26:00,040 --> 01:26:01,839
Speaker 1: when it feels like fear and terror is writing.

1629
01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:03,160
Speaker 14: How do you tap into that?

1630
01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 19: M such a good question.

1631
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:12,519
Speaker 32: Grace and peace everyone, So first I would say, you know,

1632
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:15,480
Speaker 32: my mom tells me sometime like Lesly, you're so fearless.

1633
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:18,240
Speaker 32: I wish I was so fearless like you, and I

1634
01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:20,360
Speaker 32: have to remind her that I'm not fearless. There are

1635
01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:23,920
Speaker 32: a lot of times I'm afraid, and as a believer

1636
01:26:24,200 --> 01:26:27,599
Speaker 32: in the Bible constantly says, be not afraid, be of

1637
01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:30,960
Speaker 32: good courage, right, because God knows that we are going

1638
01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:31,639
Speaker 32: to be afraid.

1639
01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:33,160
Speaker 19: I don't think, amen.

1640
01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:37,360
Speaker 32: I don't think that David wasn't afraid when he went

1641
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:38,520
Speaker 32: up against Goliath.

1642
01:26:38,600 --> 01:26:41,040
Speaker 19: It's just that he had more faith than he had fear.

1643
01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:41,639
Speaker 6: Right.

1644
01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:45,720
Speaker 32: And so for me, you know, I really believe that

1645
01:26:45,800 --> 01:26:49,479
Speaker 32: we are our ancestors' wildest dreams. I believe that everything

1646
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:52,040
Speaker 32: that we're seeing right now is a parallel to places

1647
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:54,880
Speaker 32: that we've already been before. Right when we look at

1648
01:26:54,920 --> 01:26:57,200
Speaker 32: what Ice is doing right now, I think a lot

1649
01:26:57,240 --> 01:27:02,240
Speaker 32: about the Fugitive Slave Act right eighteen fifty and how

1650
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:04,719
Speaker 32: we have to separate law and ethics.

1651
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:05,000
Speaker 19: Right.

1652
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:07,599
Speaker 32: Just because something is legal does not mean that it

1653
01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:12,719
Speaker 32: is ethically and moracally correct, right, and that is where

1654
01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:15,960
Speaker 32: civil disobedience has to rise and where we have to

1655
01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:20,639
Speaker 32: come to stand in our greatness. I think about drape

1656
01:27:20,680 --> 01:27:23,240
Speaker 32: Domania and when they tried to tell black people we

1657
01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:24,960
Speaker 32: were crazy for wanting our freedom.

1658
01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:25,280
Speaker 34: Right.

1659
01:27:25,680 --> 01:27:28,559
Speaker 32: I'm just I have crazy faith, Angela, Right, I have

1660
01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:31,800
Speaker 32: crazy faith to believe that we were meant to be free,

1661
01:27:32,240 --> 01:27:35,160
Speaker 32: that this is not the world that God intended for us, right,

1662
01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:37,519
Speaker 32: this is what humans have made it to be. And

1663
01:27:37,640 --> 01:27:41,240
Speaker 32: in twenty twenty, I said, Black Minnesota, we are done dying,

1664
01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:44,720
Speaker 32: and white Minnesota, you are done hiding your white Wakanda

1665
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:47,519
Speaker 32: has been discovered and it's time for black people's humanity

1666
01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:48,440
Speaker 32: to be recognized.

1667
01:27:48,520 --> 01:27:48,800
Speaker 10: Right.

1668
01:27:49,360 --> 01:27:51,599
Speaker 32: And so I didn't know what I was saying in

1669
01:27:51,640 --> 01:27:52,799
Speaker 32: twenty twenty though, Right.

1670
01:27:52,680 --> 01:27:53,320
Speaker 10: That was God.

1671
01:27:53,479 --> 01:27:54,080
Speaker 14: That was God.

1672
01:27:54,160 --> 01:27:54,720
Speaker 10: It wasn't me.

1673
01:27:55,280 --> 01:27:57,040
Speaker 32: But as we fast forward to here we are in

1674
01:27:57,080 --> 01:28:01,280
Speaker 32: twenty twenty six, and white people are being killed in

1675
01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:02,040
Speaker 32: broad daylight.

1676
01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:04,680
Speaker 2: This is something I never thought I would really see in.

1677
01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:09,240
Speaker 32: Minnesota, right, And I'm seeing the parallels with Renee sitting

1678
01:28:09,240 --> 01:28:11,880
Speaker 32: in her car like Filando was sitting in his car

1679
01:28:12,200 --> 01:28:15,080
Speaker 32: when I see Alex laying on the ground and being murdered,

1680
01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:17,559
Speaker 32: like we saw Jamar Clark laying on the ground and

1681
01:28:17,640 --> 01:28:18,320
Speaker 32: being murdered.

1682
01:28:18,439 --> 01:28:18,599
Speaker 36: Right.

1683
01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:23,719
Speaker 14: And they didn't hear us, Angela, they didn't fill us.

1684
01:28:23,880 --> 01:28:24,080
Speaker 4: Right.

1685
01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:26,320
Speaker 2: And I told people the black.

1686
01:28:26,080 --> 01:28:30,320
Speaker 32: Community, we've been warning, we've been prophesying, right, telling them

1687
01:28:30,320 --> 01:28:34,519
Speaker 32: what would happen if something doesn't change. And sadly we're here,

1688
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:37,680
Speaker 32: But I believe that God has plans to prosper us

1689
01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:39,639
Speaker 32: and not harm us. I believe that what the enemy

1690
01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:42,120
Speaker 32: meant for bad, God meant for good. And so I

1691
01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:46,920
Speaker 32: believe that we are really at h we at a crossroad,

1692
01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:50,000
Speaker 32: brother Resma, right. And a lot of the time we

1693
01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:52,960
Speaker 32: talk about history repeating itself as if it's inevitable, but

1694
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:55,760
Speaker 32: I think iver pieces o because we repeat ourselves, right,

1695
01:28:56,280 --> 01:28:58,680
Speaker 32: And so I'm determined not to repeat the sins of

1696
01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:01,280
Speaker 32: our past. And I was born in nineteen ninety two,

1697
01:29:01,560 --> 01:29:02,680
Speaker 32: this is my Jesus year.

1698
01:29:02,720 --> 01:29:03,880
Speaker 10: I'm thirty three, amen.

1699
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:08,200
Speaker 32: And you know I was born right around the time

1700
01:29:08,479 --> 01:29:11,559
Speaker 32: where there was uprising in la and then I ended

1701
01:29:11,640 --> 01:29:13,559
Speaker 32: up leading in twenty twenty and then here we are,

1702
01:29:13,640 --> 01:29:15,000
Speaker 32: right here in twenty twenty six.

1703
01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:16,920
Speaker 19: That doesn't feel like a coincidence to.

1704
01:29:16,920 --> 01:29:17,439
Speaker 1: Me, right.

1705
01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:20,679
Speaker 32: I believe that we were destined to fight this fight.

1706
01:29:20,800 --> 01:29:22,840
Speaker 32: I believe that we were born for such a time

1707
01:29:22,880 --> 01:29:25,559
Speaker 32: as this. And I wouldn't trade places with Harriet Tubman.

1708
01:29:25,600 --> 01:29:28,040
Speaker 32: I'm not trying to run from Delaware to Maryland, right,

1709
01:29:28,520 --> 01:29:31,439
Speaker 32: and so because this is our run though, this is

1710
01:29:31,479 --> 01:29:35,400
Speaker 32: our fight, right. They say it's not just not a race,

1711
01:29:35,760 --> 01:29:38,560
Speaker 32: it's not shout out to Nipsey hustle, just a marathon,

1712
01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:42,000
Speaker 32: but it's a relay, right, and so we're passing the

1713
01:29:42,080 --> 01:29:45,080
Speaker 32: baton to each other, and me and my good sis

1714
01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:47,800
Speaker 32: Tis Jones of True Our Speaks have been having a

1715
01:29:47,800 --> 01:29:51,679
Speaker 32: lot of conversation around our narrative and how we can

1716
01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:55,160
Speaker 32: capture and reclaim our story. And that's why I say,

1717
01:29:55,240 --> 01:29:59,280
Speaker 32: don't complain activate right, because we all can't do everything,

1718
01:29:59,280 --> 01:30:01,640
Speaker 32: but we all can do something, Angela. And so my

1719
01:30:01,720 --> 01:30:06,040
Speaker 32: conviction comes from knowing that I owe something to future generations,

1720
01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:08,880
Speaker 32: I owe something to our ancestors, and I'm determined to

1721
01:30:08,880 --> 01:30:10,040
Speaker 32: be who God meant for me to be.

1722
01:30:10,920 --> 01:30:11,479
Speaker 13: Love it.

1723
01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:17,519
Speaker 1: Well, we have a phenomenal panel full of license and

1724
01:30:17,640 --> 01:30:20,200
Speaker 1: unlicensed preachers, and Derek is they'll close us out because

1725
01:30:20,240 --> 01:30:22,559
Speaker 1: both of my co hosts are texting me as if

1726
01:30:22,840 --> 01:30:25,840
Speaker 1: Bacari didn't start it by going over his time. But

1727
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:31,320
Speaker 1: there's that Derek I'm looking at. He's given me you

1728
01:30:31,360 --> 01:30:34,760
Speaker 1: got a sadman room if not go back reclaiming my

1729
01:30:34,880 --> 01:30:47,519
Speaker 1: time for the president, I know nobody knows, Derek. I

1730
01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:51,320
Speaker 1: want you to talk to us about you mobilize hundreds

1731
01:30:51,360 --> 01:30:54,960
Speaker 1: of thousands of people. NAACP chapters mobilized hundreds of thousands

1732
01:30:54,960 --> 01:30:55,240
Speaker 1: of people.

1733
01:30:55,280 --> 01:30:57,400
Speaker 14: All over this country and there.

1734
01:30:57,240 --> 01:31:02,120
Speaker 1: Comes a time where, Leslie, we get called back home, right,

1735
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:07,160
Speaker 1: can you please talk to us about the importance of

1736
01:31:07,280 --> 01:31:12,720
Speaker 1: standing ten toes down with membership organizations, especially when there

1737
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:15,479
Speaker 1: might be a vote in the Senate on whether or

1738
01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:21,599
Speaker 1: not these Nazis, these January six ers, these terrorists now

1739
01:31:21,680 --> 01:31:24,040
Speaker 1: in Ice Mass are.

1740
01:31:25,080 --> 01:31:29,559
Speaker 14: Gonna get funded or not. You have a whole legislative arm.

1741
01:31:29,800 --> 01:31:31,519
Speaker 14: It's time for us to.

1742
01:31:31,520 --> 01:31:33,840
Speaker 1: Stand side by side with our civil rights org So

1743
01:31:33,880 --> 01:31:35,479
Speaker 1: can you please talk about the importance of that.

1744
01:31:35,720 --> 01:31:40,160
Speaker 21: So thank you, and I appreciate Lanslie. I remember when

1745
01:31:40,200 --> 01:31:43,880
Speaker 21: we first met French president, and the crazy thing was

1746
01:31:43,920 --> 01:31:46,679
Speaker 21: you was in law school and during the same time,

1747
01:31:46,720 --> 01:31:51,920
Speaker 21: and I said, have you lost your mind? But receiving

1748
01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:54,639
Speaker 21: Leslie at the exact same time, I had to deal

1749
01:31:54,680 --> 01:31:58,200
Speaker 21: with the eighty year old deacon who was honorey as

1750
01:31:58,240 --> 01:32:02,800
Speaker 21: hell but committed like nobody's been business and appreciating the

1751
01:32:02,840 --> 01:32:05,080
Speaker 21: middle aged sister who's trying to get the kids through

1752
01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:06,920
Speaker 21: high school while I'm talking to.

1753
01:32:06,920 --> 01:32:10,200
Speaker 10: The brother who's an executive. We are not a monoliths.

1754
01:32:10,280 --> 01:32:14,000
Speaker 21: We are a collective of Africans in America, and we

1755
01:32:14,080 --> 01:32:17,360
Speaker 21: got to respect how we show up at every step.

1756
01:32:18,400 --> 01:32:22,880
Speaker 21: The problem with leadership of institutions like the NAACP too

1757
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:25,280
Speaker 21: many people sitting in his seat and then make it

1758
01:32:25,320 --> 01:32:30,280
Speaker 21: about them. It's ego centric and as a result of

1759
01:32:30,360 --> 01:32:33,080
Speaker 21: that we lose traction because they're trying to get to

1760
01:32:33,120 --> 01:32:38,120
Speaker 21: the news camera. What's going to happen, What must happen

1761
01:32:38,160 --> 01:32:41,080
Speaker 21: by Saturday. That will be a budget bill adopted or

1762
01:32:41,120 --> 01:32:45,160
Speaker 21: continued resolution in there is a line item of giving

1763
01:32:45,240 --> 01:32:49,519
Speaker 21: Ice more money. We need to mobilize folks. That's the

1764
01:32:49,600 --> 01:32:53,439
Speaker 21: q coles there to call folks. Senator Kloborshaw want to

1765
01:32:53,439 --> 01:32:56,320
Speaker 21: be a senator, I mean a governor. She need to

1766
01:32:56,320 --> 01:32:59,040
Speaker 21: be here clear from you all here. Not only do

1767
01:32:59,160 --> 01:33:01,439
Speaker 21: you vote against this bill if the line item is

1768
01:33:01,479 --> 01:33:03,960
Speaker 21: in there, you bring five fears along with you from

1769
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:09,840
Speaker 21: the Senate. Because two times now we have been betrayed

1770
01:33:09,880 --> 01:33:13,720
Speaker 21: by Democrats who relied on black volks to get in office.

1771
01:33:15,720 --> 01:33:19,840
Speaker 21: And we must approach just understanding that political parties are

1772
01:33:19,880 --> 01:33:22,800
Speaker 21: nothing but vehicles for agendas, and we have to have

1773
01:33:22,960 --> 01:33:25,960
Speaker 21: a clear black agenda, and we always have had a

1774
01:33:26,040 --> 01:33:27,200
Speaker 21: clear black agenda.

1775
01:33:27,640 --> 01:33:28,719
Speaker 10: Far too many of.

1776
01:33:28,680 --> 01:33:31,560
Speaker 21: Us fall prey to the partisan conversation.

1777
01:33:32,680 --> 01:33:34,120
Speaker 11: Who cares.

1778
01:33:35,240 --> 01:33:38,439
Speaker 21: If our folks still not not getting the food that's needed.

1779
01:33:38,800 --> 01:33:41,760
Speaker 21: So as we look at what's happening here, one of

1780
01:33:41,800 --> 01:33:44,760
Speaker 21: the things we can do is mobilized, as we're doing

1781
01:33:44,840 --> 01:33:48,960
Speaker 21: across the country, to put the pressure on Senators to

1782
01:33:49,040 --> 01:33:51,360
Speaker 21: not vote for this bill if the ice funding gets

1783
01:33:51,360 --> 01:33:51,760
Speaker 21: in there.

1784
01:33:52,479 --> 01:33:54,840
Speaker 2: But if it passed, that doesn't stop.

1785
01:33:54,680 --> 01:33:58,080
Speaker 21: The process, because that Bob Moses said, do some vices movement.

1786
01:33:58,360 --> 01:34:01,599
Speaker 21: Every episode just a different theater in the fight on

1787
01:34:01,640 --> 01:34:05,519
Speaker 21: our journey to freedom, and we will get there. Why

1788
01:34:05,640 --> 01:34:09,479
Speaker 21: because we are a people who fight, we persevere, and

1789
01:34:09,520 --> 01:34:11,000
Speaker 21: we will get self determination.

1790
01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:15,040
Speaker 1: Absolutely, y'all give it up for this amazing piano.

1791
01:34:15,720 --> 01:34:17,280
Speaker 14: We're so grateful to each of you.

1792
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:23,799
Speaker 1: And speaking of elected officials who are accountable to the people,

1793
01:34:23,840 --> 01:34:29,360
Speaker 1: who are regularly representing what we need done, ensuring that

1794
01:34:29,520 --> 01:34:32,640
Speaker 1: our voices are heard, and that there's an advocate in

1795
01:34:32,680 --> 01:34:35,400
Speaker 1: one of the highest offices in Minnesota, please join me

1796
01:34:35,439 --> 01:34:44,360
Speaker 1: and welcome me your Attorney General, Keith Ellison. He's got

1797
01:34:44,400 --> 01:34:50,240
Speaker 1: a receiving line, y'all, he's coming, Attorney General Keith Ellison.

1798
01:34:50,280 --> 01:34:57,519
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, I mean I try. I said, I'm

1799
01:34:57,560 --> 01:35:00,040
Speaker 1: channeling Angela Davis. That's who I was named after I

1800
01:35:00,120 --> 01:35:01,280
Speaker 1: yield the floor to the journey.

1801
01:35:01,320 --> 01:35:05,320
Speaker 36: Generally, thank you Angela, Hey, thank you guys for being

1802
01:35:05,360 --> 01:35:06,120
Speaker 36: out here tonight.

1803
01:35:06,800 --> 01:35:08,800
Speaker 10: I can't think of a more important place for you

1804
01:35:08,880 --> 01:35:09,080
Speaker 10: to be.

1805
01:35:10,080 --> 01:35:12,600
Speaker 36: Our country, in our state, in our city, in this

1806
01:35:12,800 --> 01:35:16,320
Speaker 36: very moment, has been the site of the largest single

1807
01:35:16,600 --> 01:35:22,479
Speaker 36: escalation of ICE agents of immigration officials in the history

1808
01:35:22,520 --> 01:35:28,200
Speaker 36: of the United States. Ordinarily, ICE has about one hundred

1809
01:35:28,240 --> 01:35:32,280
Speaker 36: people for the five state area, the five state area.

1810
01:35:33,320 --> 01:35:39,600
Speaker 36: Now they have four thousand ICE agents for just the

1811
01:35:39,600 --> 01:35:43,960
Speaker 36: state of Minnesota, which is an increase.

1812
01:35:45,680 --> 01:35:47,240
Speaker 10: I don't have to tell you what's been happening.

1813
01:35:47,320 --> 01:35:50,080
Speaker 36: You live here, you've been seeing it, you've been experiencing

1814
01:35:50,160 --> 01:35:50,800
Speaker 36: it yourself.

1815
01:35:52,040 --> 01:35:53,840
Speaker 10: But this blanket of.

1816
01:35:55,479 --> 01:36:01,519
Speaker 36: Attack is certainly not normal, not justified, and is not legal.

1817
01:36:03,600 --> 01:36:08,560
Speaker 10: So what we have done about Operation Metro Surge.

1818
01:36:08,400 --> 01:36:10,760
Speaker 36: First of all, as we filed a lawsuit which was

1819
01:36:10,800 --> 01:36:17,040
Speaker 36: heard yesterday, and what we argue was very simple that

1820
01:36:17,120 --> 01:36:22,320
Speaker 36: if the federal government cannot bully and take over Minnesota

1821
01:36:22,439 --> 01:36:24,920
Speaker 36: and pass laws to make us do what the federal

1822
01:36:24,920 --> 01:36:28,360
Speaker 36: government wants, if they can't do it with an executive

1823
01:36:28,479 --> 01:36:32,439
Speaker 36: order or with a piece of legislation, they certainly can't

1824
01:36:32,479 --> 01:36:38,640
Speaker 36: do it with four thousand armed masked men. If they

1825
01:36:38,640 --> 01:36:42,080
Speaker 36: couldn't pass the law that said all Minnesota law enforcement

1826
01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:44,920
Speaker 36: is now an ice agent, which they could not do.

1827
01:36:46,040 --> 01:36:48,240
Speaker 36: They certainly can't say, oh, you don't want to do

1828
01:36:48,280 --> 01:36:51,480
Speaker 36: it our way, We're going to send people with guns

1829
01:36:51,520 --> 01:36:54,479
Speaker 36: in large numbers to your state to intimidate and even

1830
01:36:54,560 --> 01:37:00,360
Speaker 36: kill people. At the end of the day, believe we

1831
01:37:00,400 --> 01:37:04,920
Speaker 36: are going to prevail because we're right and what we're

1832
01:37:04,920 --> 01:37:08,840
Speaker 36: doing is just. And I am telling you that we're

1833
01:37:08,840 --> 01:37:11,760
Speaker 36: not here to back down. And I will also tell

1834
01:37:11,800 --> 01:37:17,719
Speaker 36: you this, there is no legal barrier to a state

1835
01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:26,639
Speaker 36: prosecutor charging a federal agent. You understand there's no legal barrier.

1836
01:37:28,640 --> 01:37:32,200
Speaker 36: I've been a lawyer for thirty six years. I'm here

1837
01:37:32,200 --> 01:37:35,519
Speaker 36: to tell you that law and morality are not the

1838
01:37:35,600 --> 01:37:39,240
Speaker 36: same thing. That unjust things happen in the name of

1839
01:37:39,240 --> 01:37:42,559
Speaker 36: the law, and you know. But what I'm telling you

1840
01:37:42,680 --> 01:37:47,720
Speaker 36: is that it is not a fact that the federal

1841
01:37:47,880 --> 01:37:51,080
Speaker 36: agents can commit crimes in this state and never have

1842
01:37:51,160 --> 01:37:53,880
Speaker 36: to worry about accountability.

1843
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:55,040
Speaker 10: You heard the Vice.

1844
01:37:54,880 --> 01:38:00,080
Speaker 36: President of the United States tell you absolute immunity. I

1845
01:38:00,120 --> 01:38:03,120
Speaker 36: don't know if he's lying or if he just doesn't

1846
01:38:03,160 --> 01:38:05,120
Speaker 36: know the law, but he's absolutely wrong.

1847
01:38:07,720 --> 01:38:09,360
Speaker 10: You could pick lying.

1848
01:38:09,280 --> 01:38:14,160
Speaker 36: Or ignorant, but he's wrong either way. You can pick

1849
01:38:14,160 --> 01:38:16,920
Speaker 36: either one, but it is not the case. And the

1850
01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:18,960
Speaker 36: real challenge, and I'm just going to be very clear

1851
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:23,920
Speaker 36: with you guys, is the pragmatic reality of completing an

1852
01:38:23,960 --> 01:38:26,759
Speaker 36: investigation and then getting a case to a grand jury

1853
01:38:27,040 --> 01:38:29,400
Speaker 36: or getting enough probable cause to charge.

1854
01:38:30,240 --> 01:38:34,040
Speaker 10: Now, there's a lot of cases that.

1855
01:38:35,160 --> 01:38:37,919
Speaker 36: Are hard to bring because you do have evidentiary barriers.

1856
01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:44,880
Speaker 36: In this situation, there's so much video evidence. There is

1857
01:38:44,960 --> 01:38:50,960
Speaker 36: so much video evidence, and look, so the reality of

1858
01:38:50,960 --> 01:38:53,600
Speaker 36: the situation is I'm not going to stand upereard and

1859
01:38:53,640 --> 01:38:55,880
Speaker 36: say I'm charging that dude with this, and I'm gonna

1860
01:38:55,880 --> 01:38:57,839
Speaker 36: tell you why, because that would be improper.

1861
01:38:57,880 --> 01:38:59,160
Speaker 10: Prosecutors shouldn't do that.

1862
01:39:00,120 --> 01:39:04,439
Speaker 36: We will remember when George Floyd was murdered, First we got

1863
01:39:04,439 --> 01:39:07,320
Speaker 36: the evidence together, then we charge all four of them

1864
01:39:07,400 --> 01:39:11,680
Speaker 36: with murder. I'm just using that as an example to

1865
01:39:11,760 --> 01:39:15,680
Speaker 36: let you know that nobody here should feel that these

1866
01:39:15,720 --> 01:39:18,680
Speaker 36: people are just going to skate on this. Okay, you

1867
01:39:18,680 --> 01:39:22,320
Speaker 36: shouldn't feel that way. Now when when when on the

1868
01:39:22,360 --> 01:39:28,519
Speaker 36: first time, when they killed h renee Good, local police

1869
01:39:28,560 --> 01:39:32,000
Speaker 36: went and said we need to process the crime scene,

1870
01:39:32,160 --> 01:39:35,800
Speaker 36: find evidence, put put things down, you know, the little

1871
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:39,240
Speaker 36: little cards, and put the numbers down, and make sure

1872
01:39:39,240 --> 01:39:42,280
Speaker 36: that we process the scene. And the federal agent said, no,

1873
01:39:42,320 --> 01:39:43,640
Speaker 36: you're not going to be allowed to do that, and

1874
01:39:43,640 --> 01:39:45,880
Speaker 36: we're going to take the casings, we're going to take

1875
01:39:45,880 --> 01:39:49,680
Speaker 36: this car, and we're going to take the gun. So

1876
01:39:49,720 --> 01:39:53,840
Speaker 36: then it was like, okay, that's different. And then they

1877
01:39:53,880 --> 01:39:57,880
Speaker 36: shot a man in North Minneapolis. Who's who survived only

1878
01:39:58,080 --> 01:40:01,200
Speaker 36: right over there y'all might have been who was there

1879
01:40:01,240 --> 01:40:03,280
Speaker 36: that night in North Bend the epics when it was

1880
01:40:03,640 --> 01:40:07,760
Speaker 36: when the chemical irritant was in the ear, like smoke everywhere.

1881
01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:09,439
Speaker 10: Good to see you there, Latania.

1882
01:40:10,760 --> 01:40:12,720
Speaker 36: And then but and then they said, no, you're not

1883
01:40:12,760 --> 01:40:14,840
Speaker 36: going to process that scene. So now on this one

1884
01:40:15,120 --> 01:40:17,479
Speaker 36: we hear about Preddie getting shot. We went to court

1885
01:40:17,520 --> 01:40:19,920
Speaker 36: and got a court order and got a judge to

1886
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:22,599
Speaker 36: rule that the evidence may not be destroyed, may not

1887
01:40:22,640 --> 01:40:25,840
Speaker 36: be tampers with, and we have to have access with

1888
01:40:25,920 --> 01:40:26,519
Speaker 36: it in the gut.

1889
01:40:26,840 --> 01:40:29,120
Speaker 10: The judge issue the order Saturday night.

1890
01:40:29,200 --> 01:40:32,160
Speaker 36: We were back in court yesterday arguing it and the

1891
01:40:32,160 --> 01:40:35,639
Speaker 36: court is not not ruled yet, but we are confident

1892
01:40:35,720 --> 01:40:37,280
Speaker 36: that they're not going to be able to mess around

1893
01:40:37,320 --> 01:40:38,000
Speaker 36: with this evidence.

1894
01:40:38,960 --> 01:40:40,080
Speaker 10: So what I'm just.

1895
01:40:40,040 --> 01:40:44,160
Speaker 36: Telling you that that whether it's a civil action that

1896
01:40:44,200 --> 01:40:49,120
Speaker 36: we've taken or whether it's the criminal cases we are

1897
01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:51,880
Speaker 36: we are going to do everything we can to make

1898
01:40:51,920 --> 01:40:55,120
Speaker 36: sure there's truth and accountability here. Now, let me just

1899
01:40:55,160 --> 01:41:02,240
Speaker 36: tell you this, this situation, this oppression that Minnesota is

1900
01:41:02,320 --> 01:41:07,640
Speaker 36: under right now, will not be solved in a courtroom.

1901
01:41:07,760 --> 01:41:09,679
Speaker 36: It just won't be like so after the Floyd case,

1902
01:41:09,720 --> 01:41:11,080
Speaker 36: did police brutality stop?

1903
01:41:12,280 --> 01:41:12,479
Speaker 10: No.

1904
01:41:13,880 --> 01:41:17,400
Speaker 36: That's why at the time I said, this is not justice,

1905
01:41:17,439 --> 01:41:22,160
Speaker 36: but it is accountability. The real justice and the real

1906
01:41:22,760 --> 01:41:25,559
Speaker 36: freedom and the real true democracy will be because you

1907
01:41:26,439 --> 01:41:29,160
Speaker 36: go out in the street and demonstrate and say no

1908
01:41:29,320 --> 01:41:33,040
Speaker 36: to this oppression. It is the people in the street,

1909
01:41:33,120 --> 01:41:35,599
Speaker 36: in the hearts and the minds of the people marching

1910
01:41:35,880 --> 01:41:39,200
Speaker 36: in nine to below weather, standing up and saying no,

1911
01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:42,120
Speaker 36: we're not going to let you roll over us this way,

1912
01:41:42,320 --> 01:41:46,640
Speaker 36: which is going to win the day. Together with elections,

1913
01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:49,839
Speaker 36: together with the artists, together with all of these things

1914
01:41:49,960 --> 01:41:52,480
Speaker 36: that we collect to try to create a just society.

1915
01:41:53,080 --> 01:41:54,120
Speaker 10: And it's not overnight.

1916
01:41:55,120 --> 01:42:00,519
Speaker 36: And I cannot guarantee you perfect safety as you fight

1917
01:42:00,600 --> 01:42:05,400
Speaker 36: for justice any more than people could guarantee Martin Luther King. Oh,

1918
01:42:05,439 --> 01:42:08,280
Speaker 36: nobody's ever gonna hurt you if you stand up for justice,

1919
01:42:09,200 --> 01:42:12,599
Speaker 36: or nobody's ever gonna hurt you. Nobody's ever gonna harm

1920
01:42:12,640 --> 01:42:16,960
Speaker 36: you if you if you protest, Jimmy Lee Jackson, we

1921
01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:21,640
Speaker 36: all know what happened. There's no there's no guarantee of

1922
01:42:21,680 --> 01:42:25,160
Speaker 36: perfect safety when an oppress or feels threatened that you're

1923
01:42:25,240 --> 01:42:29,400
Speaker 36: trying to be free yourself. So at the end of

1924
01:42:29,439 --> 01:42:33,439
Speaker 36: the day, friends, I am asking you to protest. I'm

1925
01:42:33,479 --> 01:42:37,639
Speaker 36: asking you to protest peacefully and safely. But I would

1926
01:42:37,760 --> 01:42:42,080
Speaker 36: rather you be out there facing those bad guys, and

1927
01:42:42,120 --> 01:42:45,160
Speaker 36: that is exactly what they are than sitting at home

1928
01:42:45,200 --> 01:42:48,759
Speaker 36: worrying about your own comfort and safety safely not doing anything.

1929
01:42:49,680 --> 01:42:52,040
Speaker 10: We need people to be We need everybody to.

1930
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:54,479
Speaker 36: Do any whatever they can do. And some people, look,

1931
01:42:54,479 --> 01:42:56,840
Speaker 36: they got bad needs there, they've got disabilities.

1932
01:42:56,840 --> 01:42:58,120
Speaker 10: They can't be out there protesting.

1933
01:42:58,400 --> 01:43:01,439
Speaker 36: Well, maybe you can make calls and get people to

1934
01:43:01,479 --> 01:43:05,000
Speaker 36: the election that's coming up. Maybe you can do mutual

1935
01:43:05,080 --> 01:43:06,960
Speaker 36: aid for people who are shut up in their homes

1936
01:43:06,960 --> 01:43:09,240
Speaker 36: and can't even go to work because they're scared the

1937
01:43:09,240 --> 01:43:12,200
Speaker 36: iations going to stop them. But at the end of

1938
01:43:12,240 --> 01:43:14,679
Speaker 36: the day, all of us have to do something in

1939
01:43:14,720 --> 01:43:18,320
Speaker 36: this movement that we're in, and you being here tonight

1940
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:23,960
Speaker 36: is doing something, is doing something important, because let me

1941
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:31,759
Speaker 36: tell you, presence is Presence is power, friends, witnesses power.

1942
01:43:32,760 --> 01:43:35,559
Speaker 36: And let me tell you the bad ones out there

1943
01:43:35,600 --> 01:43:38,400
Speaker 36: who are trying to press all of us, they know

1944
01:43:38,600 --> 01:43:40,600
Speaker 36: very well that you're having a meeting here tonight at

1945
01:43:40,640 --> 01:43:44,120
Speaker 36: the Capri. You think they don't know, they knew if

1946
01:43:44,120 --> 01:43:46,000
Speaker 36: they were spying on you in the sixties. You think

1947
01:43:46,040 --> 01:43:48,160
Speaker 36: they're not spying you on you in the twenty twenties.

1948
01:43:49,960 --> 01:43:55,000
Speaker 36: Of course they are, but screw them. We're not scared

1949
01:43:55,000 --> 01:43:59,280
Speaker 36: of them. And I don't care if mister miss Christinoan

1950
01:43:59,479 --> 01:44:02,560
Speaker 36: knows that I I'm here working with you guys.

1951
01:44:03,720 --> 01:44:04,439
Speaker 10: And you should not.

1952
01:44:04,520 --> 01:44:06,320
Speaker 36: And if you're scared that she's going to know about you,

1953
01:44:06,360 --> 01:44:07,559
Speaker 36: be hey, are you in the wrong place?

1954
01:44:09,520 --> 01:44:13,240
Speaker 10: This is this movement. We are guarantee.

1955
01:44:12,760 --> 01:44:18,120
Speaker 36: Success because we are faithful. We are guarantee success because

1956
01:44:18,120 --> 01:44:20,280
Speaker 36: we are faithful, and we won't quit and we won't

1957
01:44:20,320 --> 01:44:23,000
Speaker 36: ever give up. Now, a last word that I want

1958
01:44:23,040 --> 01:44:24,880
Speaker 36: to say to you, And I don't know if Angela

1959
01:44:24,920 --> 01:44:27,320
Speaker 36: wants me to answer any questions or not, but there

1960
01:44:27,400 --> 01:44:28,960
Speaker 36: is one word I want to say to you before

1961
01:44:28,960 --> 01:44:33,960
Speaker 36: I rap, I want to urge you and talk to

1962
01:44:33,960 --> 01:44:39,160
Speaker 36: you about the fundamental importance of human solidarity in this moment,

1963
01:44:40,520 --> 01:44:44,920
Speaker 36: because so often we're oppressed based on our identity and

1964
01:44:44,960 --> 01:44:48,960
Speaker 36: as African Americans. You and I know two hundred and

1965
01:44:48,960 --> 01:44:51,719
Speaker 36: forty six years of slavery, one hundred years of Jim Crow,

1966
01:44:52,320 --> 01:44:57,960
Speaker 36: and disparities in race every single year after that, There's

1967
01:44:58,080 --> 01:45:01,000
Speaker 36: never been a moment where black life in America has

1968
01:45:01,080 --> 01:45:05,840
Speaker 36: been celebrated in official channels. The one time somebody black

1969
01:45:05,880 --> 01:45:09,200
Speaker 36: becomes president, it scares this country so bad that it

1970
01:45:09,280 --> 01:45:13,200
Speaker 36: brings on Donald Trump. So you and I both know

1971
01:45:14,240 --> 01:45:18,000
Speaker 36: the deal here. But what I'm saying to you is,

1972
01:45:18,240 --> 01:45:22,639
Speaker 36: as a child who's as a child of African descent,

1973
01:45:22,760 --> 01:45:24,840
Speaker 36: as a black man in America, who can trace my

1974
01:45:24,960 --> 01:45:29,880
Speaker 36: roots in America since seventeen forty two, I can.

1975
01:45:32,640 --> 01:45:33,719
Speaker 10: These folks can't.

1976
01:45:33,479 --> 01:45:36,840
Speaker 36: Tell me I don't I'm not from here, And no

1977
01:45:36,960 --> 01:45:39,280
Speaker 36: black person in this room whose ancestors came here and

1978
01:45:39,320 --> 01:45:42,479
Speaker 36: slavery can be told you're not from here. But did

1979
01:45:42,520 --> 01:45:44,559
Speaker 36: you know that you were not a citizen up until

1980
01:45:44,600 --> 01:45:45,599
Speaker 36: the fourteenth Amendment?

1981
01:45:46,479 --> 01:45:47,160
Speaker 10: Did you know that?

1982
01:45:47,840 --> 01:45:50,200
Speaker 36: Did you know that the Supreme Court justice in the

1983
01:45:50,280 --> 01:45:54,360
Speaker 36: United States, the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court,

1984
01:45:54,600 --> 01:45:57,519
Speaker 36: said black people who were born, lived their whole lives

1985
01:45:57,560 --> 01:46:01,759
Speaker 36: and died in this country for seven generations up until

1986
01:46:01,800 --> 01:46:08,360
Speaker 36: the about eighteen fifties were not citizens. So this thing

1987
01:46:08,400 --> 01:46:13,040
Speaker 36: about citizen has always been racially informed. Did you know

1988
01:46:13,400 --> 01:46:17,000
Speaker 36: that the first statutes on immigration to this country said

1989
01:46:17,040 --> 01:46:18,559
Speaker 36: only free white people could come here.

1990
01:46:20,400 --> 01:46:23,920
Speaker 10: It wasn't until nineteen sixty five.

1991
01:46:25,280 --> 01:46:29,640
Speaker 36: That Asian, Latin American, and African people could immigrate to

1992
01:46:29,720 --> 01:46:32,640
Speaker 36: the United States. Immigration was a civil rights bill, just

1993
01:46:32,680 --> 01:46:34,160
Speaker 36: like the Voting Rights Act was.

1994
01:46:35,439 --> 01:46:37,200
Speaker 37: And so I'm gonna send me over here like a

1995
01:46:37,280 --> 01:46:48,520
Speaker 37: sign man.

1996
01:46:48,960 --> 01:46:50,120
Speaker 14: He just said, might drop.

1997
01:46:50,240 --> 01:46:53,519
Speaker 1: Okay, y'all give it up again for Attorney Generarchy Dallas,

1998
01:46:53,520 --> 01:46:54,679
Speaker 1: and he walked all the way out.

1999
01:46:55,960 --> 01:46:56,679
Speaker 14: We love him.

2000
01:46:56,720 --> 01:46:59,559
Speaker 1: We're so grateful for his passion, first commitment, for being

2001
01:46:59,560 --> 01:47:02,240
Speaker 1: here with that this evening again on such short notice.

2002
01:47:02,400 --> 01:47:05,719
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Attorney General Keith Ellison. I'm bringing

2003
01:47:05,720 --> 01:47:07,440
Speaker 1: out my co host Andrew.

2004
01:47:07,040 --> 01:47:08,920
Speaker 14: Gillam Macari Sellers.

2005
01:47:08,960 --> 01:47:12,479
Speaker 1: We have a quick panel with some clergy folk who

2006
01:47:12,520 --> 01:47:14,280
Speaker 1: are doing tremendous work.

2007
01:47:20,160 --> 01:47:22,760
Speaker 2: Who cares about truth when the last more than say it.

2008
01:47:24,840 --> 01:47:27,840
Speaker 1: As you all know, there was a big organizing effort

2009
01:47:28,479 --> 01:47:31,519
Speaker 1: with clergy at the airport just last week.

2010
01:47:31,720 --> 01:47:35,600
Speaker 14: It is important that folks are raising.

2011
01:47:35,320 --> 01:47:37,439
Speaker 1: Their voices because we know there's a whole other one

2012
01:47:37,479 --> 01:47:39,840
Speaker 1: that has a whole church. But he's also working with lice.

2013
01:47:39,880 --> 01:47:43,640
Speaker 1: But we'll talk about that another time. Please welcome to

2014
01:47:43,680 --> 01:47:47,799
Speaker 1: the stage, Reverend doctor Karen McKinney, Professor and Community Liaison

2015
01:47:47,840 --> 01:47:53,400
Speaker 1: at Betha University, Minister Janeyamuri Bates, Betsamurray Believe, Co Executive

2016
01:47:53,439 --> 01:47:56,920
Speaker 1: Director of Faith in Minnesota, and Isaiah and our good

2017
01:47:56,960 --> 01:48:02,040
Speaker 1: sister when Tana Mellikein, executive director of Groundwork Action Call Hosts,

2018
01:48:02,040 --> 01:48:03,880
Speaker 1: So you're coming back out, We're gonna ask some quick

2019
01:48:03,960 --> 01:48:05,800
Speaker 1: questions and I know we're getting the calls to action.

2020
01:48:06,200 --> 01:48:07,880
Speaker 14: So the hour is late and we got to work.

2021
01:48:07,920 --> 01:48:09,880
Speaker 1: I don't know where when Tana is, but she will

2022
01:48:09,960 --> 01:48:11,720
Speaker 1: join us soon hopefully.

2023
01:48:12,040 --> 01:48:15,799
Speaker 14: All right, Well, first of all, ladies, can.

2024
01:48:15,640 --> 01:48:21,400
Speaker 1: You talk about the importance of motivating and moving clergy

2025
01:48:22,000 --> 01:48:25,479
Speaker 1: to act at a time like this. I think about

2026
01:48:25,479 --> 01:48:29,000
Speaker 1: the letter from the Birmingham jail and what doctor King

2027
01:48:29,120 --> 01:48:32,360
Speaker 1: was challenging us with. Come I Andrew challenging us with and

2028
01:48:32,600 --> 01:48:35,400
Speaker 1: it feels like this moment is yet again a choice

2029
01:48:35,439 --> 01:48:41,280
Speaker 1: between white nationalist Christianity and black liberation theology, and then

2030
01:48:41,280 --> 01:48:44,200
Speaker 1: somewhere in between everybody else when Tana, everybody give it

2031
01:48:44,280 --> 01:48:46,240
Speaker 1: up for when Tana we introduced one time a mother

2032
01:48:46,320 --> 01:48:50,280
Speaker 1: gen Yes, but I want you to weigh in on that, Jamay,

2033
01:48:50,360 --> 01:48:51,160
Speaker 1: and then I'll yield to you.

2034
01:48:52,600 --> 01:48:53,640
Speaker 16: I mean absolutely.

2035
01:48:53,840 --> 01:48:56,599
Speaker 20: The reality is is that we are we are going

2036
01:48:56,680 --> 01:49:01,759
Speaker 20: to constantly recreate history, and we get to be deciders

2037
01:49:01,800 --> 01:49:03,320
Speaker 20: on if we're going to be history makers in the

2038
01:49:03,360 --> 01:49:06,800
Speaker 20: midst of it. And so I would say it is

2039
01:49:06,880 --> 01:49:12,320
Speaker 20: not just about frankly agitating the Church, but it is

2040
01:49:12,439 --> 01:49:16,040
Speaker 20: about agitating America that proclaims and professes to be the Church.

2041
01:49:16,680 --> 01:49:19,320
Speaker 20: And so when you are living in a place in

2042
01:49:19,360 --> 01:49:23,320
Speaker 20: the land that weaponizes my Jesus and my Bible, I

2043
01:49:23,400 --> 01:49:29,080
Speaker 20: am I find it incredibly important that people who say

2044
01:49:29,120 --> 01:49:31,400
Speaker 20: that they know God, say that they know Christ, actually

2045
01:49:31,400 --> 01:49:34,200
Speaker 20: live that out and call other folks into it. And

2046
01:49:34,240 --> 01:49:37,960
Speaker 20: so the action that we took on Friday, on the

2047
01:49:38,040 --> 01:49:40,400
Speaker 20: Day of Truth and Freedom, even the fact that that

2048
01:49:41,520 --> 01:49:43,280
Speaker 20: I think it's important to say, even the fact that

2049
01:49:43,280 --> 01:49:45,679
Speaker 20: that day came into being was because of a bunch

2050
01:49:45,680 --> 01:49:48,960
Speaker 20: of people of faith and union leaders and community members

2051
01:49:49,080 --> 01:49:51,320
Speaker 20: who said that we are going to take ourselves seriously

2052
01:49:51,479 --> 01:49:54,600
Speaker 20: enough to build the kind of power to orchestrate the

2053
01:49:54,680 --> 01:49:58,080
Speaker 20: kind of organizing necessary to have something like that, because

2054
01:49:58,200 --> 01:50:00,400
Speaker 20: the reality is that people can call for an economic

2055
01:50:00,439 --> 01:50:04,320
Speaker 20: blackout or a general strike and like say that thing.

2056
01:50:04,400 --> 01:50:06,719
Speaker 20: But then you got to look back to what happened

2057
01:50:06,720 --> 01:50:10,519
Speaker 20: in Montgomery, Alabama in nineteen fifty five, when folks in

2058
01:50:10,560 --> 01:50:13,360
Speaker 20: a church said we're going to have the Montgomery bus boycott.

2059
01:50:13,560 --> 01:50:15,920
Speaker 20: It was not just oh, let's do this thing and

2060
01:50:15,960 --> 01:50:18,240
Speaker 20: we're going to say it and it'll happen. They put

2061
01:50:18,320 --> 01:50:20,519
Speaker 20: in the ground game to have three hundred and eighty

2062
01:50:20,520 --> 01:50:22,840
Speaker 20: one days of people being able to get to work,

2063
01:50:22,880 --> 01:50:24,320
Speaker 20: to be able to get their kids, to be able

2064
01:50:24,360 --> 01:50:26,760
Speaker 20: to go to groceries and not take the bus, and

2065
01:50:26,840 --> 01:50:30,800
Speaker 20: so with a man and so I do think that

2066
01:50:30,840 --> 01:50:33,880
Speaker 20: people of faith have to make sure that we are

2067
01:50:33,880 --> 01:50:36,840
Speaker 20: truly taking ourselves seriously enough to strategize what does it

2068
01:50:36,920 --> 01:50:38,920
Speaker 20: mean to do something today, what is it going to

2069
01:50:39,000 --> 01:50:40,439
Speaker 20: mean for us tomorrow, what is it going to look

2070
01:50:40,479 --> 01:50:43,280
Speaker 20: like for our people to day after that, and actually

2071
01:50:43,320 --> 01:50:46,880
Speaker 20: put in the real grit and organizing that's required to

2072
01:50:46,920 --> 01:50:48,160
Speaker 20: make that kind of thing come to be.

2073
01:50:54,680 --> 01:50:57,080
Speaker 12: I had a shirt that said Jesus is not just

2074
01:50:57,120 --> 01:51:01,680
Speaker 12: a Sunday thing because lot of times we don't ascribe

2075
01:51:01,680 --> 01:51:03,759
Speaker 12: to the notion that they teach us in the Book

2076
01:51:03,760 --> 01:51:07,040
Speaker 12: of James that says that faith without works is dead.

2077
01:51:07,120 --> 01:51:10,880
Speaker 12: Because sometimes we become a very prime people. Our knees

2078
01:51:10,920 --> 01:51:15,879
Speaker 12: get sore, we put holes in the carpet and forget

2079
01:51:16,160 --> 01:51:17,920
Speaker 12: that we have to put our shoulder to the wheel

2080
01:51:17,960 --> 01:51:20,559
Speaker 12: on Monday to go out and get out the ditch.

2081
01:51:20,760 --> 01:51:21,800
Speaker 10: My question is about the.

2082
01:51:21,760 --> 01:51:26,519
Speaker 12: Disconnect that the church has perceived with this new generation

2083
01:51:26,640 --> 01:51:30,320
Speaker 12: that's coming up, and how we as believers of whatever,

2084
01:51:31,760 --> 01:51:34,280
Speaker 12: can bridge that gap because we need them in our doors.

2085
01:51:34,360 --> 01:51:35,920
Speaker 12: The church used to be Andrew and I we were

2086
01:51:35,960 --> 01:51:39,160
Speaker 12: having this discussion and Angela as well last week on

2087
01:51:39,200 --> 01:51:42,559
Speaker 12: the show. But we all agree that the church used

2088
01:51:42,600 --> 01:51:44,519
Speaker 12: to be that, and our stress used to be the

2089
01:51:44,800 --> 01:51:49,479
Speaker 12: epicenter of change. That's where we had our organizational meetings,

2090
01:51:49,479 --> 01:51:52,200
Speaker 12: that's where we had our precinct meetings. That's where we

2091
01:51:52,320 --> 01:51:54,920
Speaker 12: fed the hungary in our communities. I mean, this event

2092
01:51:55,640 --> 01:51:58,759
Speaker 12: in nineteen sixty five would have been in somebody Baptist

2093
01:51:58,840 --> 01:52:03,280
Speaker 12: Church in Minneapolis. Doors open bus is going to get

2094
01:52:03,360 --> 01:52:06,840
Speaker 12: folks bringing them here church moms. I mean, so, how

2095
01:52:06,880 --> 01:52:11,400
Speaker 12: do we get back to that or evolve to the

2096
01:52:11,439 --> 01:52:15,000
Speaker 12: next iteration of that while also opening our arms to

2097
01:52:15,040 --> 01:52:18,120
Speaker 12: a generation that feels is that the church is not

2098
01:52:18,240 --> 01:52:19,240
Speaker 12: their home anymore.

2099
01:52:19,560 --> 01:52:26,000
Speaker 10: And for me, that's that's almost devastating. McKinney.

2100
01:52:26,560 --> 01:52:31,880
Speaker 38: That's a hard one, see because and maybe it's because

2101
01:52:31,880 --> 01:52:36,080
Speaker 38: I'm older, and then that disconnect, I see, it's there.

2102
01:52:37,080 --> 01:52:41,320
Speaker 38: I have ninety four nieces and nephews, ninety four nieces

2103
01:52:41,320 --> 01:52:45,320
Speaker 38: and nephews and grand nieces and great grands and so

2104
01:52:45,880 --> 01:52:48,240
Speaker 38: when I started doing this, I started calling up my

2105
01:52:48,280 --> 01:52:50,720
Speaker 38: nieces and nephews and saying, come come with me.

2106
01:52:52,080 --> 01:52:55,120
Speaker 19: You have to care. You don't have a choice. And

2107
01:52:55,200 --> 01:52:58,680
Speaker 19: it's like, oh, that's Dan, Karen, Reverend and Karen. But

2108
01:52:58,840 --> 01:52:59,679
Speaker 19: some of them listen.

2109
01:53:00,320 --> 01:53:03,800
Speaker 38: So I think there's a disconnect, but there's also you know,

2110
01:53:04,000 --> 01:53:08,479
Speaker 38: they see what's going on and they care. And so

2111
01:53:08,520 --> 01:53:10,680
Speaker 38: when I said come to this training, you know, some

2112
01:53:10,760 --> 01:53:13,439
Speaker 38: of the four of them showed up and came to

2113
01:53:13,479 --> 01:53:16,200
Speaker 38: the training, and it's like.

2114
01:53:16,120 --> 01:53:17,720
Speaker 19: You have you have to be out there with me.

2115
01:53:18,320 --> 01:53:21,880
Speaker 38: So so I think they're seeing and I'm not sure

2116
01:53:21,880 --> 01:53:24,479
Speaker 38: that that. I mean, I know there's a disconnect. But

2117
01:53:24,840 --> 01:53:27,000
Speaker 38: in my church, we have a rebirth of young people

2118
01:53:27,320 --> 01:53:30,120
Speaker 38: because I remember the days when you know, I'm standing

2119
01:53:30,200 --> 01:53:32,160
Speaker 38: and I'm shaking hands and standing by the door.

2120
01:53:32,040 --> 01:53:34,320
Speaker 19: And there's not too many young people. But then I

2121
01:53:34,640 --> 01:53:35,759
Speaker 19: counted seven babies.

2122
01:53:35,760 --> 01:53:38,880
Speaker 38: I said, seven people with seven babies walk by, you know,

2123
01:53:38,960 --> 01:53:41,360
Speaker 38: and it's like, we're getting people, and so.

2124
01:53:41,439 --> 01:53:43,880
Speaker 19: They want they people are hungry for it.

2125
01:53:44,360 --> 01:53:48,080
Speaker 38: And in my church, which is Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church,

2126
01:53:49,360 --> 01:53:57,000
Speaker 38: we are unashamedly black, yes, and we're proud to be

2127
01:53:57,120 --> 01:53:59,680
Speaker 38: a black church and own that, even if all of

2128
01:53:59,680 --> 01:54:00,519
Speaker 38: our men are not.

2129
01:54:00,960 --> 01:54:06,680
Speaker 19: And so we want that black history.

2130
01:54:06,439 --> 01:54:09,519
Speaker 38: We profess that, we say that we are proud of that,

2131
01:54:09,800 --> 01:54:13,040
Speaker 38: and we call forth people to be active and not

2132
01:54:13,160 --> 01:54:16,479
Speaker 38: sit back. And so you know, I was designated in

2133
01:54:16,560 --> 01:54:19,320
Speaker 38: my church to be when we started this Black Core

2134
01:54:19,439 --> 01:54:22,040
Speaker 38: Leadership team, We're going to be one of these churches

2135
01:54:22,080 --> 01:54:25,360
Speaker 38: that is involved in Isaiah and faith in Minnesota. The

2136
01:54:25,360 --> 01:54:28,160
Speaker 38: pastor said, you take the lead on that. So I

2137
01:54:28,200 --> 01:54:30,360
Speaker 38: took the lead on that, and I was with those

2138
01:54:30,400 --> 01:54:33,600
Speaker 38: people who got arrested on Friday, because I'm taking the

2139
01:54:33,680 --> 01:54:39,160
Speaker 38: lead on that, and that's the expectation. And there's all

2140
01:54:39,280 --> 01:54:41,440
Speaker 38: kinds of people from my churches and all the other

2141
01:54:41,560 --> 01:54:44,960
Speaker 38: churches that they put in and they say yes. And

2142
01:54:45,040 --> 01:54:48,400
Speaker 38: I left this meeting, left a meeting where people were saying,

2143
01:54:48,480 --> 01:54:51,560
Speaker 38: we're going to caucus and are you committed to caucusing

2144
01:54:52,000 --> 01:54:54,560
Speaker 38: and are you committed to bringing ten more people with

2145
01:54:54,600 --> 01:54:58,000
Speaker 38: you to Caucus on February third, And people were saying, yes,

2146
01:54:58,320 --> 01:55:00,760
Speaker 38: I'm committed to this for the long run, and I'm

2147
01:55:00,800 --> 01:55:02,160
Speaker 38: going to ask my people.

2148
01:55:02,240 --> 01:55:03,840
Speaker 19: So we're still We're still doing it.

2149
01:55:04,120 --> 01:55:06,040
Speaker 10: Yeah, I love that. Give her a round of applause

2150
01:55:06,040 --> 01:55:07,880
Speaker 10: for that. I mean, and I am. I mean.

2151
01:55:07,920 --> 01:55:11,280
Speaker 12: My last comment on this is that I am absolutely

2152
01:55:11,680 --> 01:55:14,960
Speaker 12: unapologetic about the onus that I put on the Black Church.

2153
01:55:15,960 --> 01:55:18,240
Speaker 12: And the reason being is because I feel like as

2154
01:55:18,240 --> 01:55:19,280
Speaker 12: a community.

2155
01:55:18,800 --> 01:55:20,720
Speaker 10: And this may be right or wrong, but I'll probably

2156
01:55:20,760 --> 01:55:21,240
Speaker 10: die with this.

2157
01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:28,040
Speaker 12: We don't survive, but we thrive if our church is

2158
01:55:28,080 --> 01:55:30,680
Speaker 12: the foundation of our community, not just our faith.

2159
01:55:31,280 --> 01:55:36,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree with you speaking of the foundation

2160
01:55:36,320 --> 01:55:40,120
Speaker 1: of our community. Sit next to someone who created the

2161
01:55:40,120 --> 01:55:45,040
Speaker 1: Groundwork Institute, and I want to just take a moment

2162
01:55:45,120 --> 01:55:51,400
Speaker 1: here because without Antana protests and general strikes and all

2163
01:55:51,440 --> 01:55:53,960
Speaker 1: of that. The rally last week would not have happened

2164
01:55:54,360 --> 01:55:56,840
Speaker 1: last Friday, and so let's please give it up for

2165
01:55:57,160 --> 01:56:00,840
Speaker 1: Buntana and all the work she's doing. And I also

2166
01:56:00,960 --> 01:56:04,240
Speaker 1: just want to acknowledge the human cost of the work

2167
01:56:05,760 --> 01:56:08,040
Speaker 1: she is battling to make sure that her loved ones

2168
01:56:08,080 --> 01:56:11,000
Speaker 1: are safe in the midst of putting her body on

2169
01:56:11,040 --> 01:56:13,760
Speaker 1: the line for all of us. And so I want

2170
01:56:13,880 --> 01:56:17,320
Speaker 1: you for a moment to talk about the fact one

2171
01:56:17,400 --> 01:56:21,400
Speaker 1: I'm acknowledging you give all of you to this community.

2172
01:56:21,840 --> 01:56:23,640
Speaker 1: I want to know and this is probably going to

2173
01:56:23,720 --> 01:56:25,680
Speaker 1: be very hard because you're a black woman in America,

2174
01:56:25,760 --> 01:56:27,400
Speaker 1: but I want to know what this room can give

2175
01:56:27,440 --> 01:56:27,920
Speaker 1: back to you.

2176
01:56:30,960 --> 01:56:33,680
Speaker 9: First, I just want to say thank you for having me.

2177
01:56:34,200 --> 01:56:36,360
Speaker 39: And I also want to say the only reason I

2178
01:56:36,400 --> 01:56:38,320
Speaker 39: was a part of the march in the rally last

2179
01:56:38,320 --> 01:56:40,680
Speaker 39: week is because Janey propositioned me to show up and

2180
01:56:40,720 --> 01:56:44,480
Speaker 39: take that role. Janey was the person that really was

2181
01:56:44,520 --> 01:56:46,680
Speaker 39: the foundation of it and called me into her team.

2182
01:56:46,680 --> 01:56:47,800
Speaker 9: They actually just voted me in.

2183
01:56:47,760 --> 01:56:50,960
Speaker 39: On Monday as official member, and so I just want

2184
01:56:51,000 --> 01:56:57,360
Speaker 39: to acknowledge all the work she did, So thank you. So,

2185
01:56:57,520 --> 01:57:02,000
Speaker 39: as Angel shared, i I'm an air trained American. I'm

2186
01:57:02,080 --> 01:57:05,879
Speaker 39: a US citizen, but I also am struggling with immigration

2187
01:57:06,560 --> 01:57:10,400
Speaker 39: issues across my family. I mean, just yesterday when coordinating

2188
01:57:10,400 --> 01:57:12,560
Speaker 39: with Angela around this, I had a family member picked

2189
01:57:12,640 --> 01:57:15,200
Speaker 39: up and now they're in New Mexico and we're trying

2190
01:57:15,240 --> 01:57:18,320
Speaker 39: to figure out what to do about it. Lately, in Minnesota,

2191
01:57:18,320 --> 01:57:20,640
Speaker 39: most folks have been getting sent to Texas, and now

2192
01:57:21,160 --> 01:57:22,680
Speaker 39: we got folks going to a new state.

2193
01:57:23,120 --> 01:57:24,440
Speaker 9: As y'all know, about.

2194
01:57:24,160 --> 01:57:26,240
Speaker 39: Three thousand folks have been picked up over the last

2195
01:57:26,240 --> 01:57:28,640
Speaker 39: couple of weeks. They have been sent all over the country.

2196
01:57:29,080 --> 01:57:32,240
Speaker 39: I have family members who are US citizens. I've had

2197
01:57:32,280 --> 01:57:34,640
Speaker 39: family members with green cards. I have folks with more

2198
01:57:34,640 --> 01:57:37,080
Speaker 39: complex statuses who have been picked up by ice.

2199
01:57:37,680 --> 01:57:41,000
Speaker 9: There is no strategy, no theory.

2200
01:57:41,120 --> 01:57:44,800
Speaker 39: They are just picking up our community members and making

2201
01:57:44,840 --> 01:57:47,960
Speaker 39: them disappear. And at the same time, the other part

2202
01:57:47,960 --> 01:57:50,560
Speaker 39: of this battle is that I'm an executive director of

2203
01:57:50,720 --> 01:57:54,200
Speaker 39: not one but two institutions, Groundwork Institute and Groundwork Action,

2204
01:57:54,320 --> 01:57:56,880
Speaker 39: where I got to get up every day and do

2205
01:57:56,960 --> 01:57:59,960
Speaker 39: the political organizing and do the development and the train

2206
01:58:00,280 --> 01:58:02,520
Speaker 39: and all that. At the same time, you know, having

2207
01:58:02,560 --> 01:58:04,600
Speaker 39: to figure out what autlly can I send a Whipple

2208
01:58:04,640 --> 01:58:06,600
Speaker 39: to pick up my cousin, because I can't go back

2209
01:58:06,640 --> 01:58:09,760
Speaker 39: there again after, you know, being there just a couple

2210
01:58:09,760 --> 01:58:12,880
Speaker 39: weeks before that, picking a different family member. And so

2211
01:58:13,600 --> 01:58:16,160
Speaker 39: I asked for everyone in this community is to continue

2212
01:58:16,280 --> 01:58:20,680
Speaker 39: with the demands ICE out of Minnesota. Absolutely, I need

2213
01:58:20,680 --> 01:58:23,320
Speaker 39: you to contact your member of Congress and make those demands,

2214
01:58:23,600 --> 01:58:26,560
Speaker 39: your state rep, your city council member, every single level

2215
01:58:26,600 --> 01:58:29,160
Speaker 39: of government. The other thing I'll add is that last

2216
01:58:29,200 --> 01:58:32,120
Speaker 39: Friday during the march, I sat at my computer and

2217
01:58:32,200 --> 01:58:36,560
Speaker 39: I deleted my Netflix. I deleted every Postmates, all the

2218
01:58:36,600 --> 01:58:38,760
Speaker 39: little services I had, I canceled them.

2219
01:58:39,040 --> 01:58:41,200
Speaker 9: The only place I've been shopping at is my co op.

2220
01:58:41,680 --> 01:58:44,000
Speaker 39: Like folks that I know have already taken a political

2221
01:58:44,000 --> 01:58:46,360
Speaker 39: position to say we stand with immigrants, we don't stand

2222
01:58:46,400 --> 01:58:49,840
Speaker 39: with ICE, and I have just been unapologetic about rethinking

2223
01:58:49,840 --> 01:58:51,800
Speaker 39: about the way I spend money, the way I move,

2224
01:58:52,200 --> 01:58:55,160
Speaker 39: and I encourage everybody else in this room to do that.

2225
01:58:55,680 --> 01:58:57,520
Speaker 39: And I just think one other thing I got a

2226
01:58:57,640 --> 01:59:00,680
Speaker 39: name that I think can't be forgotten about this moment

2227
01:59:01,240 --> 01:59:04,280
Speaker 39: is that I am very clear that the only reason

2228
01:59:04,320 --> 01:59:05,800
Speaker 39: I have the right to be in the United States

2229
01:59:05,920 --> 01:59:09,640
Speaker 39: is the work of black Americans. It is very clear

2230
01:59:09,840 --> 01:59:13,120
Speaker 39: that after passing the Civil Rights Act and after the

2231
01:59:13,160 --> 01:59:14,400
Speaker 39: passing of Voting Rights.

2232
01:59:14,160 --> 01:59:15,800
Speaker 9: Act, the Immigration Act was passed.

2233
01:59:15,800 --> 01:59:18,200
Speaker 39: After that the work of Martin Luther King to open

2234
01:59:18,200 --> 01:59:20,320
Speaker 39: the door and all the others to open the door

2235
01:59:20,360 --> 01:59:23,280
Speaker 39: to allow immigrants into the United States. And so I

2236
01:59:23,440 --> 01:59:26,080
Speaker 39: very clearly see, after all the organizing I did for

2237
01:59:26,640 --> 01:59:30,320
Speaker 39: Jamar Clark and Philando Castile, I have very overwhelmingly seen

2238
01:59:30,320 --> 01:59:32,520
Speaker 39: the Black American community step up in this moment and

2239
01:59:32,520 --> 01:59:33,520
Speaker 39: stand in solidarity.

2240
01:59:33,600 --> 01:59:35,760
Speaker 9: And I'd be remiss if I didn't name that. And

2241
01:59:35,800 --> 01:59:37,600
Speaker 9: so I don't know what more to ask for.

2242
01:59:37,680 --> 01:59:39,920
Speaker 39: I have seen folks really step up in this moment,

2243
01:59:39,960 --> 01:59:42,280
Speaker 39: and I just encourage folks to continue to do it

2244
01:59:42,360 --> 01:59:44,840
Speaker 39: with their political power, their message, and their money.

2245
01:59:46,000 --> 01:59:47,960
Speaker 12: So I guess before we do our lot of actions

2246
01:59:47,960 --> 01:59:50,680
Speaker 12: that they're any final I mean, I'm a big I'm

2247
01:59:50,680 --> 01:59:52,680
Speaker 12: the person who's crying on the airplane. I have my

2248
01:59:52,720 --> 01:59:54,800
Speaker 12: hoodie own and they'd be like, why is he tearing up?

2249
01:59:54,840 --> 01:59:56,760
Speaker 12: Because it's a Marven Sap plan in my ear. So

2250
01:59:56,800 --> 02:00:00,960
Speaker 12: I'm that emotional guy who's crying. Any parting words for

2251
02:00:01,080 --> 02:00:03,640
Speaker 12: this audience as we begin to bring this to a

2252
02:00:03,680 --> 02:00:06,680
Speaker 12: close of faith, the strength that we have, what we

2253
02:00:06,720 --> 02:00:09,320
Speaker 12: need to do to persevere to get through uh, this

2254
02:00:09,480 --> 02:00:13,240
Speaker 12: dark time. You can preach a little bit, just a

2255
02:00:13,240 --> 02:00:18,240
Speaker 12: little bit, have a pisk pal, you're not that Baptist stuff.

2256
02:00:18,280 --> 02:00:18,520
Speaker 10: Love it.

2257
02:00:20,720 --> 02:00:24,000
Speaker 38: I would just I guess I would say God chooses

2258
02:00:24,080 --> 02:00:28,680
Speaker 38: no hands but our hands. God uses no hands but

2259
02:00:28,760 --> 02:00:33,600
Speaker 38: our hands and feet and and and so we have

2260
02:00:33,680 --> 02:00:37,960
Speaker 38: to choose. We have to choose to let God use

2261
02:00:38,120 --> 02:00:40,800
Speaker 38: our hands and feet. And we have to choose it

2262
02:00:40,880 --> 02:00:44,400
Speaker 38: every day. It's not a one time choice. You're not done,

2263
02:00:44,640 --> 02:00:47,200
Speaker 38: you know, and tomorrow I get to just lay in. No,

2264
02:00:48,160 --> 02:00:50,000
Speaker 38: we have to we have to choose it every day.

2265
02:00:50,440 --> 02:00:54,680
Speaker 38: And it matters for the generations that come behind us.

2266
02:00:55,800 --> 02:00:58,360
Speaker 19: What what kind of kids? What are what are our

2267
02:00:58,440 --> 02:00:59,840
Speaker 19: kids going to have?

2268
02:01:00,440 --> 02:01:00,680
Speaker 11: You know?

2269
02:01:00,760 --> 02:01:06,520
Speaker 38: If we keep going backwards? So we have to pick uh,

2270
02:01:06,640 --> 02:01:09,800
Speaker 38: and we if we can't let go. Yeah, I guess

2271
02:01:09,840 --> 02:01:12,919
Speaker 38: that's what I says.

2272
02:01:15,200 --> 02:01:17,160
Speaker 20: I mean, I would just lean, have us all lean

2273
02:01:17,240 --> 02:01:21,080
Speaker 20: into the story of the Good Samaritan, the notion that

2274
02:01:21,160 --> 02:01:24,480
Speaker 20: there is there when anytime there is someone who is hurting,

2275
02:01:24,520 --> 02:01:26,960
Speaker 20: someone who has beaten, someone who has oppressed, someone who

2276
02:01:27,040 --> 02:01:31,760
Speaker 20: is down trotten for whatever reason, we are called to

2277
02:01:31,960 --> 02:01:35,440
Speaker 20: do and to act. And there were folks who walked

2278
02:01:35,440 --> 02:01:37,720
Speaker 20: past that body and thought, I can't I can't do

2279
02:01:37,760 --> 02:01:40,120
Speaker 20: anything about that, because if I do, what happens to me?

2280
02:01:41,280 --> 02:01:45,480
Speaker 20: And the one who decided to stop said, I, if

2281
02:01:45,520 --> 02:01:48,320
Speaker 20: I keep going, what happens to them?

2282
02:01:48,440 --> 02:01:50,000
Speaker 2: And I think there is a collective what.

2283
02:01:50,000 --> 02:01:53,160
Speaker 20: Happens to us if we don't act?

2284
02:01:53,960 --> 02:01:55,480
Speaker 14: And so is that is the call?

2285
02:01:55,800 --> 02:01:56,800
Speaker 16: And for the Minnesotans.

2286
02:01:56,800 --> 02:01:58,800
Speaker 20: I can't end this without saying for the Minnesotans who

2287
02:01:58,800 --> 02:02:01,320
Speaker 20: are in the room, specially black Minnesotan's.

2288
02:02:01,600 --> 02:02:03,440
Speaker 10: February third is caucus Day.

2289
02:02:04,200 --> 02:02:04,920
Speaker 19: Okay.

2290
02:02:05,680 --> 02:02:08,120
Speaker 20: We we could talk all day in like little settings

2291
02:02:08,160 --> 02:02:10,600
Speaker 20: like this, but it is so incredibly important that we

2292
02:02:10,720 --> 02:02:14,680
Speaker 20: use our voice and having oversize an outside stay about

2293
02:02:14,680 --> 02:02:16,800
Speaker 20: what happens in our state and in our country. And

2294
02:02:16,840 --> 02:02:19,160
Speaker 20: you get the opportunity to do that when you caucus,

2295
02:02:19,200 --> 02:02:21,120
Speaker 20: and when we caucus together in unity.

2296
02:02:21,200 --> 02:02:21,520
Speaker 14: Amen.

2297
02:02:22,640 --> 02:02:27,280
Speaker 20: Amen, So y'all join me at a training on on Monday. Okay,

2298
02:02:27,360 --> 02:02:30,400
Speaker 20: Monday is six thirty a Greater Friendship Missionary Baptist Church.

2299
02:02:30,440 --> 02:02:33,560
Speaker 20: We're gonna get trained to caucus together with the actual strategy.

2300
02:02:33,600 --> 02:02:35,640
Speaker 20: Wein just gonna show up. Willy Nelly, We're gonna come

2301
02:02:35,640 --> 02:02:37,000
Speaker 20: through and actually win an agenda.

2302
02:02:37,840 --> 02:02:43,000
Speaker 27: Okay, I go to a Catholic church, so I can't

2303
02:02:43,000 --> 02:02:43,720
Speaker 27: sermon like that.

2304
02:02:43,840 --> 02:02:44,640
Speaker 13: It's not in me.

2305
02:02:45,120 --> 02:02:48,280
Speaker 9: I'll try my best. I'm in the.

2306
02:02:51,280 --> 02:02:52,840
Speaker 10: That's around the wine and a little bit.

2307
02:02:53,040 --> 02:02:53,920
Speaker 9: But we do do that.

2308
02:02:54,040 --> 02:02:57,160
Speaker 1: We do that a little bray is you better watch

2309
02:02:57,200 --> 02:02:57,920
Speaker 1: that backwash.

2310
02:03:00,760 --> 02:03:02,880
Speaker 27: Okay, y'all laughed a little too hard at my people.

2311
02:03:06,400 --> 02:03:10,320
Speaker 39: But so I just I'd be remiss if I didn't

2312
02:03:10,320 --> 02:03:12,400
Speaker 39: talk about what happened about an hour before I walked

2313
02:03:12,440 --> 02:03:15,320
Speaker 39: in this room, a Congressoman Omar at her town hall

2314
02:03:16,240 --> 02:03:18,440
Speaker 39: was standing there talking about how we need to hold

2315
02:03:18,480 --> 02:03:19,880
Speaker 39: the federal government accountable.

2316
02:03:20,080 --> 02:03:22,040
Speaker 9: And a man walked up to her with a substance

2317
02:03:22,040 --> 02:03:25,800
Speaker 9: and sprayed her in the face. And you know, I.

2318
02:03:25,720 --> 02:03:27,920
Speaker 27: Have to also talk about how Congressman orders.

2319
02:03:28,240 --> 02:03:31,160
Speaker 9: She swung back. She literally swung back.

2320
02:03:31,640 --> 02:03:34,720
Speaker 39: She approached him and then cleaned herself up and then

2321
02:03:34,800 --> 02:03:38,720
Speaker 39: continued the forum, continued the conversation, she put out a

2322
02:03:38,720 --> 02:03:40,960
Speaker 39: statement and said, we have to keep going.

2323
02:03:41,080 --> 02:03:42,160
Speaker 9: We have to keep fighting.

2324
02:03:42,560 --> 02:03:46,360
Speaker 39: And this is very difficult, this is absolutely horrific. But

2325
02:03:46,440 --> 02:03:49,520
Speaker 39: also we have to keep going. We have to keep fighting.

2326
02:03:49,800 --> 02:03:54,120
Speaker 39: We can't sit here and wallow. You know, feel the pain,

2327
02:03:54,240 --> 02:03:57,560
Speaker 39: feel the trauma, experience it, process it, you know, go

2328
02:03:57,640 --> 02:03:59,640
Speaker 39: to your place of faith, you know, do what you

2329
02:03:59,680 --> 02:04:01,520
Speaker 39: need to do. But also after that, we have to

2330
02:04:01,720 --> 02:04:04,520
Speaker 39: you know, leave this, leave these spaces and go back

2331
02:04:04,520 --> 02:04:08,640
Speaker 39: to organizing. And that there are folks with less access

2332
02:04:08,680 --> 02:04:10,960
Speaker 39: and privilege and all the things who are sitting in

2333
02:04:11,040 --> 02:04:14,920
Speaker 39: detention centers that are dependent on us to leave this

2334
02:04:15,000 --> 02:04:17,120
Speaker 39: room and stand up for them because they can't stand

2335
02:04:17,200 --> 02:04:20,560
Speaker 39: up for themselves. So no matter what we're experiencing, it's

2336
02:04:20,560 --> 02:04:22,160
Speaker 39: a little bit harder to go to the gas station,

2337
02:04:22,280 --> 02:04:23,640
Speaker 39: it's a little bit harder to get around.

2338
02:04:23,680 --> 02:04:25,760
Speaker 9: You got to carry your passport one hundred percent.

2339
02:04:26,160 --> 02:04:27,960
Speaker 39: But if you have the privilege to stand up for

2340
02:04:28,040 --> 02:04:30,960
Speaker 39: someone who literally can't leave their house, I beg you

2341
02:04:31,040 --> 02:04:32,960
Speaker 39: to do it. I beg you to take that action.

2342
02:04:33,480 --> 02:04:36,840
Speaker 39: And then being an electoral really, as Janey said, you.

2343
02:04:36,960 --> 02:04:37,839
Speaker 9: Have to caucus.

2344
02:04:37,920 --> 02:04:39,520
Speaker 39: It is if you have the if you have the

2345
02:04:39,560 --> 02:04:42,320
Speaker 39: ability to. For some folks it's not safe, I get it.

2346
02:04:42,520 --> 02:04:45,440
Speaker 39: But if you have the ability, caucus on February third.

2347
02:04:45,800 --> 02:04:47,600
Speaker 39: One thing that you could do at caucuses that people

2348
02:04:47,640 --> 02:04:50,520
Speaker 39: often forget is you could do resolution. So there's statements

2349
02:04:50,720 --> 02:04:54,040
Speaker 39: where you say, I believe that we need ice out

2350
02:04:54,080 --> 02:04:56,320
Speaker 39: of m N or I believe in a higher minimum wage.

2351
02:04:56,360 --> 02:04:58,520
Speaker 39: You can write statements like that and bring them there

2352
02:04:58,760 --> 02:05:01,040
Speaker 39: and get them added to your plat parties platform.

2353
02:05:01,120 --> 02:05:02,800
Speaker 9: You can join one of the committees.

2354
02:05:03,160 --> 02:05:05,960
Speaker 39: So there are so many opportunities for you to take

2355
02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:08,640
Speaker 39: a position and let it be known where you stand

2356
02:05:09,040 --> 02:05:11,760
Speaker 39: and really defend the folks next to you that.

2357
02:05:11,840 --> 02:05:13,760
Speaker 9: Just don't have the capacity to defend themselves.

2358
02:05:13,800 --> 02:05:15,720
Speaker 39: So I just ask you to, you know, be a

2359
02:05:15,760 --> 02:05:18,960
Speaker 39: true neighbor and stand up for whoever you know can't stand.

2360
02:05:19,680 --> 02:05:22,200
Speaker 14: So thank you all, so very much.

2361
02:05:23,360 --> 02:05:26,440
Speaker 1: Let's give it up again for Reverend doctor Karen McKinny

2362
02:05:26,480 --> 02:05:28,480
Speaker 1: minister today.

2363
02:05:30,200 --> 02:05:31,560
Speaker 14: We're so grateful, bring you on.

2364
02:05:31,800 --> 02:05:34,680
Speaker 6: Thank you so much, so great.

2365
02:05:51,320 --> 02:05:53,320
Speaker 1: Okay, y'all, we're going to get to our calls to

2366
02:05:53,480 --> 02:05:54,920
Speaker 1: action or repping the show.

2367
02:05:56,080 --> 02:05:57,880
Speaker 13: But you can know, well I'll just say I love

2368
02:05:57,960 --> 02:06:00,320
Speaker 13: that because we talked about this on the show. But

2369
02:06:00,480 --> 02:06:05,440
Speaker 13: how the right wing is really bastardized evangelicals right, every

2370
02:06:05,440 --> 02:06:09,320
Speaker 13: time you hear evangelicals, the evangelical community got behind Trump

2371
02:06:09,440 --> 02:06:12,520
Speaker 13: x y Z. I think what religious people are they

2372
02:06:12,520 --> 02:06:15,280
Speaker 13: talking to. They're not talking to these women that we

2373
02:06:15,400 --> 02:06:18,440
Speaker 13: just heard from. That's the true meaning. And I think

2374
02:06:18,480 --> 02:06:21,680
Speaker 13: spirit of the Word of God and the spirit of God.

2375
02:06:21,520 --> 02:06:23,800
Speaker 11: The other thing that comes to for CTA.

2376
02:06:24,560 --> 02:06:26,640
Speaker 13: And I think it was set here on this stage

2377
02:06:26,640 --> 02:06:31,200
Speaker 13: around I think exercising the muscle of repetition, the fact

2378
02:06:31,240 --> 02:06:34,800
Speaker 13: that we can't just do it one time. We reference

2379
02:06:35,040 --> 02:06:38,320
Speaker 13: the Montgomery bus boycott, but we oftentimes don't reference the

2380
02:06:38,320 --> 02:06:42,240
Speaker 13: fact that after the first day of the boycott, the

2381
02:06:42,280 --> 02:06:44,560
Speaker 13: black community went back to the church that night and

2382
02:06:44,600 --> 02:06:48,120
Speaker 13: decided and voted as a community whether they would go

2383
02:06:48,240 --> 02:06:51,800
Speaker 13: back and continue the boycott the next day. And then

2384
02:06:51,840 --> 02:06:53,400
Speaker 13: at the end of that day they showed back up

2385
02:06:53,440 --> 02:06:56,720
Speaker 13: at the Baptist church and they voted again whether they

2386
02:06:56,720 --> 02:07:00,000
Speaker 13: were going to continue the bus boycott the next day.

2387
02:06:59,840 --> 02:07:02,280
Speaker 13: They thought that the bus boycott was going to be

2388
02:07:02,360 --> 02:07:05,600
Speaker 13: one night, one day, and then two days, and then

2389
02:07:05,640 --> 02:07:09,560
Speaker 13: a week, and that week lasted over a year. They

2390
02:07:09,640 --> 02:07:13,760
Speaker 13: exercised the muscle of coming back and coming back and

2391
02:07:13,800 --> 02:07:15,960
Speaker 13: coming back. And I don't think this is a lesson

2392
02:07:16,000 --> 02:07:17,640
Speaker 13: that you all need here in Minnesota. In fact, I

2393
02:07:17,680 --> 02:07:20,120
Speaker 13: think this is the lesson you all are teaching the

2394
02:07:20,160 --> 02:07:21,040
Speaker 13: rest of the country.

2395
02:07:21,120 --> 02:07:23,400
Speaker 1: Cut that song because we don't like have it licensed.

2396
02:07:23,440 --> 02:07:25,280
Speaker 1: I was trying to text it nicely. Don't do that

2397
02:07:25,320 --> 02:07:26,880
Speaker 1: in the middle of a CTA it or get cut.

2398
02:07:27,280 --> 02:07:29,440
Speaker 1: So if you want to play our music while we're talking,

2399
02:07:29,480 --> 02:07:31,440
Speaker 1: that's fine, but not anything that's not licensed.

2400
02:07:31,560 --> 02:07:34,320
Speaker 13: So to conclude is simply to say thank you for

2401
02:07:34,360 --> 02:07:37,879
Speaker 13: teaching us the lesson and helping us exercise the muscle,

2402
02:07:38,080 --> 02:07:42,040
Speaker 13: the discipline of coming back again again again.

2403
02:07:42,800 --> 02:07:44,120
Speaker 11: Delay is not denial.

2404
02:07:45,200 --> 02:07:48,440
Speaker 13: Trump may think they are winning right now, but delay

2405
02:07:48,520 --> 02:07:52,400
Speaker 13: is not denial. In my faith tradition, accountability will come

2406
02:07:52,800 --> 02:07:55,120
Speaker 13: and we will win this thing in the end.

2407
02:07:55,120 --> 02:07:56,960
Speaker 11: God, bless Yaul, and thank you for being earth.

2408
02:07:57,360 --> 02:07:58,720
Speaker 10: So mine is very easy.

2409
02:07:59,240 --> 02:08:01,200
Speaker 12: I know that we are on this journey together and

2410
02:08:01,240 --> 02:08:04,280
Speaker 12: we are getting extremely weary. It seems very cyclical that

2411
02:08:04,320 --> 02:08:07,600
Speaker 12: every three months or four months, or five months or

2412
02:08:07,640 --> 02:08:10,720
Speaker 12: six months, it feels as if we're being pulled down,

2413
02:08:10,840 --> 02:08:13,640
Speaker 12: we are being put upon, we're being oppressed, We're being suppressed,

2414
02:08:14,200 --> 02:08:17,720
Speaker 12: and it feels as if sometimes the faith and the

2415
02:08:17,720 --> 02:08:21,520
Speaker 12: prayers simply aren't working. It feels like the price that

2416
02:08:21,520 --> 02:08:24,920
Speaker 12: we're paying for change with every body and all the

2417
02:08:24,960 --> 02:08:27,800
Speaker 12: blood that's flowing through the street is just too high.

2418
02:08:28,240 --> 02:08:31,120
Speaker 12: We're tired of going to memorial services. We're tired of

2419
02:08:31,120 --> 02:08:34,000
Speaker 12: going to funerals. We're tired of seeing people gunned down

2420
02:08:34,360 --> 02:08:36,400
Speaker 12: on our streets with our own eyes. We're tired or

2421
02:08:36,440 --> 02:08:38,960
Speaker 12: seeing people drug out of their homes. We're tired of

2422
02:08:39,000 --> 02:08:42,760
Speaker 12: seeing black women die in the hotel excuse me, hospital

2423
02:08:42,800 --> 02:08:45,840
Speaker 12: lobbies because they refuse to give them care. We're tired

2424
02:08:45,920 --> 02:08:49,879
Speaker 12: or seeing our farmers suffer. We're tired or seeing people

2425
02:08:50,560 --> 02:08:52,680
Speaker 12: just suffer because of who they love, or who they

2426
02:08:52,720 --> 02:08:54,160
Speaker 12: pray to, or the color of their skin.

2427
02:08:54,520 --> 02:08:55,400
Speaker 10: We're just tired.

2428
02:08:56,600 --> 02:08:58,880
Speaker 12: And I guess my call to action is we all

2429
02:08:58,920 --> 02:09:01,680
Speaker 12: stand before you to just a little bit more tired

2430
02:09:01,760 --> 02:09:05,760
Speaker 12: today than we were yesterday. But it's incumbent upon us

2431
02:09:05,760 --> 02:09:09,280
Speaker 12: to dig deep. Like Andrew said, it's incumbent upon us

2432
02:09:09,320 --> 02:09:11,480
Speaker 12: to rely on that faith because when we were brought

2433
02:09:11,520 --> 02:09:14,840
Speaker 12: to this country, we were stripped of everything we had,

2434
02:09:14,920 --> 02:09:16,000
Speaker 12: but our faith.

2435
02:09:17,080 --> 02:09:18,480
Speaker 10: Rely on that rock.

2436
02:09:18,720 --> 02:09:21,720
Speaker 12: Rely on that faith, and make sure when you go

2437
02:09:21,840 --> 02:09:26,600
Speaker 12: out you work extremely hard to make tomorrow better than yesterday.

2438
02:09:27,200 --> 02:09:30,240
Speaker 12: My dream is for so steady and stokely to have

2439
02:09:30,280 --> 02:09:32,600
Speaker 12: a better America than the one that I inherited. My

2440

2444
02:09:44,120 --> 02:09:49,040
Speaker 12: this America is made in my image. This America is

2445
02:09:49,040 --> 02:09:51,880
Speaker 12: something I can be proud of. This America actually gave

2446
02:09:51,960 --> 02:09:54,400
Speaker 12: us a check that we can cash and no longer
