WEBVTT - Justice is Not a Trend with Porsha Williams and Trae tha Truth 0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:07.920 What's the family. I'm Tamika D. Mallory and I might 0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:11.399 son in general. Welcome to Street Politicians, the place where 0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:14.920 the streets and politics meet. It's a new year, but 0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:18.880 a lot of the same things happening. I saw a 0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:22.319 meme that had me like crying the other day that 0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:26.880 said that went home and put away on and came 0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:29.880 back as one like a little different. We look a 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:34.040 little different, but ain't much. In fact, it's like a 0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:40.080 turn up. It's like winning home and worked out. Got 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:43.760 a little because because you if you think about it, 0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:46.000 didn't start off like like you know what I'm saying, 0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:48.639 like midway through and she was like, oh this this 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:53.760 is different quarter through quarter through it like yo, And 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:58.320 I mean the sad part about the continuation of the 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:00.960 craziness that we went through and twenty twenty is that 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:05.280 this pandemic continues to take lives, to claim people. Um. 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:09.119 I think that now we're seeing that each day something 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:12.280 like four thousand people are dying, and that's you know, 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:15.200 very significant, and we know, first of all, we don't 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:19.040 want to see anyone die, especially from UM a virus 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.959 that has hit our communities and just hit the world 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.320 in the way in which it has, but we know 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.640 for sure that black and brown people are in those numbers, 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.959 and that many people within our communities are impact. And 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:34.080 the thing I think that is so troubling about how 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:39.559 the coronavirus or COVID nineteen operates is that even though yeah, 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:44.080 you know, they close restaurants and try to close the 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:48.920 cities and in certain ways, whenever a person does get 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:53.000 the virus and they are around family members and particularly 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:56.440 elderly people, or if you are someone who works in 0:01:56.480 --> 0:02:00.240 the healthcare industry, works at nursing homes, in hospital at all, 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:03.600 and you get it and give it to other people. 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.760 When folks die, they die two and three people in 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:10.320 a family, even more at times um. And so it's 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:13.679 just really it's sad that there there's no I don't 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:15.440 see an end in sight. And I know that the 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:20.240 vaccine should be or is for some people, a solution 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:23.280 to that, but then we're just looking at how slow 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:26.720 it's moving in terms of people getting vaccinated. You have 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.480 people like us who are very very challenged with the 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.560 idea of taking a vaccine. UM. So there's so much 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.040 even with that, so I'm not sure exactly how we 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:38.280 will get to a point where we have heard immunity. 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.919 Maybe that is the next step um or that we 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.840 even just feel comfortable enough to go back to some 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:48.959 form of normalcy. I don't know what the new norm is. Yeah, 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:52.200 I understand. I think for me man, just looking at 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:55.639 the pandemic, looking at COVID nineteen and just seeing how 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:59.079 it's affect in the way it's spreading, it is it's 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:01.800 something like we've never seem like I don't even understand it, 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.120 Like every time you try to understand it and they 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:06.560 give you know, And I don't think nobody other than 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:08.280 is And I think that's the problem for me. I 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.920 think that the government is trying to make mandates and 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.120 trying to shut this down and shut this down, or 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.239 we shouldn't go here, and we should And every time 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.800 it seems like they decided they're shutting something down, it 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.320 seems like it's getting worse. So it seems like they 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.160 they're not really making the proper decisions. They said, put 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.040 you in the hospital, or first we need to put 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:27.519 you in respirators. No, we don't need to put you 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.200 in restiate. We don't need to do that. We need 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.760 to change this. They don't know what they're doing it, 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:35.480 and it's it's like, unfortunately is at the expense of 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.720 people's lives, you know. So we're dealing we're dealing with 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:40.720 something that we don't know where it came from. We 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:42.360 don't know if it's man made, we don't know if 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.280 it's a virus, we don't know what it is because 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.280 it doesn't have any form. Like one person can have 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.240 a coal next person is dying in two days, like well, 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.240 And I think that's what makes it so crazy and, 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:57.640 like you said, so hard to understand. And even with 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:00.400 the respirators and the amount of lives that have been 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:04.920 taken based upon incompetence lack of knowledge, A lot of 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.360 that has to do with the fact that like people 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:11.400 didn't know, even in the health care industry, they didn't know, 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:15.000 and so they try things, um that we're not that's 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.479 not good for our communities they sent. That's what I 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:20.400 mean by incompetence. They sent a lot of people who 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:24.000 needed help home. Um. And even in my own personal 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:27.400 life right now, I have an uncle who already deals 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:31.880 with respiratory issues and he's elderly, and because of the 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:34.880 fact that he is, you know, looked upon as someone 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:38.760 who is not young and healthy. Um there, he has 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.040 COVID right now, and he's like on a guarney in 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:44.240 the hallway in a hospital in Alabama and not really 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:48.240 receiving the type of care that he deserves because the 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:52.159 hospitals are so crowded that they are unable to give 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:55.480 every single person the type of attention that they need. 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:57.840 And I'm not trying to make excuses because first of all, 0:04:57.839 --> 0:04:59.640 it's my uncle, so I really would like for them 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:03.320 to do everything that they can. But at the same time, 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.719 I understand that once the system is stretched in the 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:09.840 way that it is, it's very difficult, especially in America, 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:14.400 where our health care system is already trashed without a pandemic. 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:19.320 It's just a really, really bad situation. And it makes 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:22.400 me so sad when I travel to places like Atlanta, 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.080 um like Miami, and just other cities that I've been 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.840 in over the last several months, and I see how 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:33.600 many young black people, particularly are not wearing masks, are 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:36.520 out partying and having such a good time. And to 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:41.160 your point, it's almost like, well, when they start shutting 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.279 down and not being able to go out and party 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.880 and do these things, it seems like the death rate 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:50.560 goes up. But the argument that I'm constantly making is 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.520 that they already know that these people are sick by 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.640 the time they shut it down, So when these folks 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.600 start dying, they would have been dying anyway in mind 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:01.760 and mind. I think I'm trying to say, in my opinion, 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.480 it's just like when you look at it every time 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:06.360 they say when New York was on the shop there 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:10.080 before New York was on the shut now it was couple, 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:13.760 then it turned into as soon as they shut it 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:16.120 down was thousands a day. Yeah, but I don't think. 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.800 I think that that's when when we look at l A, 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.719 now we look at thousands a day before they shut 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.000 it down, like l A is probably wanted the major 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:28.320 big cities. Anyway, We're not doctors and we don't know. No, 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:30.760 we're not doctors and we don't know. But I do 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:34.520 think that the problem is that people were already sick 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.200 by the time the state realized it's time to shut 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.440 it down. And so I don't know, we don't know 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.479 the solution, we don't know how to deal with it. 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.800 But what I do know is that young black people 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:49.120 and people just in general across this nation need to 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:54.240 realize that it's no longer about individualism. It's not about 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:56.680 me and whether or not if I get sick, it's 0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:00.159 not as bad. I had coronavirus. I had COVID nineteen 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:02.600 and I was sick for about a week. And I 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:04.360 always tell people, if I look at it from a 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.159 scale of one to six, I was probably around the three. 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:08.880 But I know that if I had been a five, 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:10.960 if I had been anywhere close to that, I don't 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:12.760 know if I could make it, because there were definitely 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.480 days when I wasn't sure if it was getting worse 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:17.320 and whether or not I have to go to the hospital. 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:19.760 So when I think about that, I would never want 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:23.040 to inflict something like that on another person, whether I 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.520 know them or not. I don't want to go into 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:28.840 a restaurant, a store, or anywhere else knowing that I 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:32.360 have exposed myself or that I'm even infected, and go 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:34.880 out and give it to other people. Because not everyone 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.000 is gonna be a three or two, or you know, 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:38.520 or be able to get rid of it in a 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.520 couple of days, or get rid of the symptoms in 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.760 a couple of days. So you know, we just gotta 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:46.280 start living as if we're living for a community. And 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:50.280 not just for a few Yeah, speaking of Georgia, speaking 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:58.960 the elections going off, and yes, well it really is. 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:02.440 Shout out to black women men organized. No. No, let 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:07.200 me add people black women who organized because black women. No. 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:11.040 But in terms of the major voices of those who 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.840 put the resources on the ground, the LaTosha Browns. Even 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:17.280 though you know you gotta give Cliff Albright her partners 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:20.120 some love too, but he would tell you that Latasha 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:24.320 Brown of Black Voters Matter was major in terms of organizing. 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:29.000 Stacy Abrams, do Wanna Thompson, Helen Butler, who we've had 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:33.120 on the show. These individuals are people who, um, as 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:37.160 black women, understood the importance of stopping everything else that's 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.920 going on in life and focusing on organizing in Georgia. 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:45.280 Then of course black women and men voted and made 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:49.320 it happen. Absolutely so certainly shout out to the blacks, 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:56.000 the black blacker black and blacks many black man. We did. 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.160 We did. Our thing was on the ground. We're not 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:02.400 doing doors. We to people to the polls, we fed people, 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.760 We did all things. And man, I think all eyes 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.800 was on Georgia and it showed when we collectively put 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.600 our minds to something when we want to accomplish something 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.880 that we definitely get it done. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, So 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.760 I was thinking because you know, I think my thought 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:21.160 of the day I think probably too much, But my 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:25.240 thought of the day is that so many people are 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.680 saying they still don't know what to do or what 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:31.160 the movement is. And I have to ask, with everything 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:35.320 that we see happening, if you haven't found a place, now, 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:38.160 what is it going to take? That's a good question, 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.559 that's a good thought to have. What is it going 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:44.400 to take if at this point the folks are running 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:49.200 up in the capital, climbing on the walls. The election 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:52.719 shows our power and how when we come together we 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:56.760 can actually change politics in this country. And now it's 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.640 time for us to change policy. So if you did 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:01.920 it for the politics, then you could do it for 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:07.920 the policy, right. Um. The pandemic has showed again that 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:11.040 we collectively as a community have so much to do 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:15.400 from a health perspective, um taken care of our elderly. Like, 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:18.760 there's so much happening and people are still saying, I 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:20.880 don't know. I think, man, I think you know what 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:24.600 it is a lot of people have been jaded by 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.120 the movement I get that a lot, you know, coming 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:32.520 from marginalized communities and projects and communities with poverty stricken. 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.880 They don't. They don't believe, you know what I'm saying. 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:36.480 They've been like, oh, we've been watching and we've been 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:38.080 doing this, and all we've been doing that. I don't 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:39.839 want to vote. I don't. They don't want to do 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:43.560 anything because in their mind, prior to this exact moment, 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.880 they didn't see where they vote count They didn't see 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.800 where their march county, didn't see where their protests counting. 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:52.520 I think in this moment right now, we're starting to 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:54.840 see levels of change. We're starting to see when we 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:58.560 collectively come together as a community with one goal, how 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:02.160 it changes. Like we we actually as a community, as 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:05.320 a people, as a culture, voted in the presidents. We 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:09.319 actually we change the trajectory, Like when we look at Georgia, 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:13.760 we change a traditionally red state into blue. And it's 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:17.200 not about you know what, It's not partisan for me, 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.760 but it's just understanding that we had an objective and 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.840 we understood that we needed this to get what we wanted. 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:24.560 We needed to be able to put a Senate in 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.600 place that was gonna be able to give the president 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:31.480 that we gave an opportunity, you know, the opportunity to 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:36.520 actually in enact laws and legislation that we need as 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.440 black people. So I think a lot of people was like, wow, 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:41.760 you know what I'm saying. So I think that prior 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:43.960 to that moment, a lot of people was. But I 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.920 think right now. I had an interview yesterday actually literally, 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:49.079 and I told him I'm like, you just have to 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.560 find out what it is that you can contribute. Like 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:53.440 everybody doesn't do the thing You're not gonna do. Be 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.559 on the front lines with me. You know, you might 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:58.520 not be able to contribute five or ten thousand now 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.679 you might have five college that you contribute to one 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.559 organization that does the work every month. You know what 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:06.880 I'm saying. You might know how to do social media too, 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.440 where you tweet out something that's going on that we're 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.760 dealing with, or notify us about things. You might be 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.880 able to find information to notify the leaders who have 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.960 platforms and have the ears of the people to give 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.280 them information. Hey, this is going on because I go 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:23.040 on my d MS daily and there's certain people that 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:26.240 find information for me. Like I don't automatically just know 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:29.400 what's going on, Oh what's going on? And they find 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:32.200 him like did you know about this? And they send 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.480 us dms all times, So that might be your entry 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.320 point into the movement, you know what I'm saying. Some 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:39.280 people have Some people work every day so they can't 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.720 come out and be on the front lines, but they 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.719 utilize they informed somebody else about what's going on. Then 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:46.680 there are people who are able to come out in 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:50.040 protests and utilize their bodies and sacrifice. So there's just 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:52.880 so many different ways into this movement, and we don't 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.200 just we need you to understand that. There's definitely a 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.320 way for you if you really want to. So many 0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:00.520 ways to get involved, and they're really just as no excuse. 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:04.199 And I think a lot of people use excuses because 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:09.560 you know, there's fear um and there's complacency, and it's 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:12.880 just good old laziness, right Like, let's not try to 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:17.560 uh go around it. It's good old laziness. Sometimes we 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:21.400 see what other folks are doing and say it's too hard, 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.320 and you know what, it is difficult to get up 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:27.320 every day, to be committed to a struggle, to have 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:31.320 to um, you know, really think about and monitor the 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.800 things you say the things you do, the way you 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:36.840 operate in the world, because you don't want to be 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:39.520 a hypocrite to what it is that you're working on. 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.080 Um And none of us are perfect right because we 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:47.120 still constantly find ourselves having to reshape, reform, come back, 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:50.080 think about our choices. You know, it's it's a it 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:52.480 is a lot of work, but it's also a lot 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.760 of work to watch people are people dying every day. 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:59.000 It's also a lot of work living in communities where 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:02.200 you're you know, living in in public housing and you 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:05.160 walking stepping over urine and having to walk up steps, 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.679 and you know, not having the proper heat and having 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:11.360 rodents running through your apartments. It's also a lot of work. 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.600 You know, they have to boil that water because there's 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:15.960 no hot water in the building. It's a lot of 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:19.040 work to have to go to a further hospital. Um, 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:20.480 you know, not be able to go to the one 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:22.800 in your community, because it's you know, if you go 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.560 there with certain problems, you will probably have three more 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:28.680 when you leave, So now you've got to travel across town. 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:30.760 I mean, it's a lot of work to have to 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:34.280 live every day being black and brown in America and 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.920 so we might as well figure out how to make 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.840 most of our efforts be about our progress rather than 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.840 just sort of accepting things as they are. So that's 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:46.960 my thought of the day. Find something. If you can't, 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:49.520 if you if you if you can't find anything yet 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:51.720 and you don't see that there is a state of 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:54.840 emergency emergency, then I don't know when you ever go 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:58.600 listen and find something. You know, my model, we don't 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:00.280 have the right to do nothing to make sure you 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.520 find out. So you know, the streets is talking. They're 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:06.600 still talking after about a thousand times and a thousand 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:13.760 lawsuits being overturned, and no, they finally times again certified 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:18.280 that Biden won the election, that we have a new president. 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:23.040 After a thousand times Trump had pulled Trump and Stein 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:27.600 pulled out every stop once again. In my life now, 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:30.440 I've been paying attention to politics for at least twenty 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:33.760 five years, and never in my life have I seen 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:38.600 elections take this type of like time. And like I said, 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:40.280 I asked somebody that they I think it might have 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:44.359 been you and Angelo. I'm like when you in the past, 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:46.960 when people we went out and we voted for president 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:50.240 or anything else that night, they told you so and 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:53.800 so is the winner. That's what I remember that this 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:55.400 is a whole new game. This is the thing. In 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:58.800 two weeks, three weeks, three months, This vote I keep 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.280 trying to tell people is running the White House like 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.720 the Mafield. And it's not. It's not even it's not 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:06.280 even a joke. At this point we realized the seriousness 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:08.360 of it, you know. And he was actually on because 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.000 and when you listen to the phone call that he 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:17.200 was on with Rasburger anyway, and he was telling them 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:20.680 find me some votes. The Secretary of State of Georgia, 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:24.080 that's the person in charge of secretary. He said, listen, 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:27.280 find me some votes. It's only about eleven thousand. I 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:33.320 need you to find me the vote. Imagine if Barack 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:37.880 Obama would have been on the phone with the Secretary 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:43.680 of States and cups the next about eleven thousand. But 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:48.040 you see, the thing about Trump Mice is that Trump 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:54.480 is operating out He's operating is the most funniest yet scary. 0:16:54.640 --> 0:17:00.360 It's not even He is operating in pure white nous. 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:08.159 His whiteness says that I have authority, entitlement, privilege. It 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:12.480 is what white supremacy is all about. And people get 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:14.399 really upset with me when I say that, because they're like, 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.280 are you saying that all white people know? We're not 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:23.560 saying all white people behave a certain way. We're saying that. Yeah. 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:29.080 What we're saying is that the idea of whiteness in America, 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:35.520 the concept, the social constructs of whiteness in America, it 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:41.200 is ingrained in the idea of supremacy. Right, And he 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:45.760 operates as if he is running or doing a deal 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:49.879 for a new apartment building or a new casino. So 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:53.560 when he calls the bank right and speaks to his homies, 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:57.840 other white people who are bank officers, and they need 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:01.879 to find money for building, you know, money for construction, 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:05.240 for development, that's what he says, I need another eleven 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:07.919 million dollars. Help find me some money, look through my 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:11.080 portfolio and see where we can move things around. That 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:15.199 is how he is used to operation, and we just 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:20.280 having this conversation. Is he is adamant that he won 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:25.520 by landslode, like a landslas won by landslide. So if 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:28.760 you want by landslide, why the hell would somebody have 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:34.640 to find you some vote? We should have to try 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:36.840 to find the other persons of votes, because you won 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.720 by so much. It just doesn't make sense, none of it. 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:43.200 It's not supposed to make sense though, because it's not right. 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:46.639 And at least the Secretary of State while on this call, 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:48.720 although let me just tell you, we're not about to 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:53.280 uplift any of these individuals, right because they you know, 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:58.119 because they have their own history of suppressing the black vote. 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:00.359 And there's more that can be done in the state 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:03.800 of Georgia and in other places across this nation to 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:08.000 protect black people, to protect these elections, and moreover, to 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:11.919 challenge this crazy person that is finally out of the 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:14.600 White House or on his way out right. So there's 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:17.000 much more that could have been done. And that's why 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:20.720 I am not um. I don't care about the lullabys 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:24.760 that Lindsay Graham is singing. I don't care about Mitch mcconne. 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:28.200 All these people all of a sudden have found their morality. 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:32.920 Facebook and Twitter have all of a sudden decided they 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:36.840 have aided and abetted for four years, matter of fact, 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:39.600 five years, even when this man was running for office. 0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:43.800 They aided and abetted what we saw happening at the 0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:48.320 Capitol and where people have died as a result of them. 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:55.560 Not checking this man in the first place. Politicians, what's 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:59.000 so crazy is that you know that what he's saying 0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:01.960 has to be far fit right, because they want to 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:06.520 cheat anyway they've been cheating. This is so far fast. 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:10.840 We can't even help you with this, Like we said, please, 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:13.480 we have to go leave you out, one of our 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:16.520 best sister friends. But what I want you to know 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:20.080 is that it's not that they that is because he's 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:22.880 saying something so far fast. It's because they know he's 0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:25.800 out and they need to save face at this point 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:30.280 because they think people are stupid and don't remember trying 0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:32.760 to act not someone I hear you saying. They But 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:35.119 the thing is, if they can make sure he stayed in, 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:39.000 they would, they would they know he's out because they 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:43.040 can't do This is a debate. This is a debate 0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:45.680 that we can't have, but I would love to have it. 0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:48.719 I don't think they want him to stay in because 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:51.760 the way that Joe Biden acts is if he is 0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:55.080 more so their friends, then he should be. He's over 0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:57.920 here talking about these people are not our enemies because 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:02.440 to pay trying to play a game of chess, right 0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:04.800 that he thinks he's playing chess, But back the end 0:21:04.800 --> 0:21:07.720 of the day, it never really wins because you can't 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:10.760 really negotiate with terrorists. So his his thing is like, 0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:12.320 I think I'm gonna need them, and I have some 0:21:12.400 --> 0:21:15.359 relationships with them, and I probably ain't gonna do shift 0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:18.119 for us anyway. But at the end of what, I 0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:20.240 don't know, maybe he is, I don't know, but whatever 0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:22.800 it is, he's trying to he's trying to tread this 0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:27.440 little in the middle thing. He don't work side. Pick 0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:32.080 a side, Joe Biden, pick a side, and Kamala Harris 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:36.240 if you don't pick the right side, I said, I 0:21:36.280 --> 0:21:39.199 said this on my Instagram. We don't did everything. We 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:42.840 got you all elected, you don't got you all to senate. 0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:49.280 Black people are gonna need something. We are on your ass, Jesus. 0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:52.440 Before we go to the next segment and have our 0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:54.879 special guests joint, we're gonna take a quick break for 0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:59.360 our sponsors. So we are being joined right now by 0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:04.640 our homie, our jail mate, myself mate. She was one 0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:07.720 of the Louisville eighty seven, which is when I was arrested. 0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:10.560 Eighty seven of us who sat on the lawn um 0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:14.760 at Daniel Cameron's house to demand justice for Brianna Taylor. 0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:18.320 But then she's also in the sixty five, which I 0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:24.359 didn't know, and we call it the eight seven sixty five. 0:22:24.800 --> 0:22:28.399
