26
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: so you get a day within your own mouth. Yeah,

27
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: but this is an international day, so it's global. Actually

28
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: we're starting in the UK. Okay, so internationally we celebrate

29
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: women today and talk about a lot of different women's issues.

30
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: Also celebrate women. It's not good enough just to say, hey,

31
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: we have a day. You also have to talk about uh,

32
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: you know, different things that need to be done, and

33
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,919
Speaker 1: we need all the allies. So men need to also

34
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: uplift women and make sure we celebrate our accomplishments are achievements,

35
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 1: but also talk about equality, talk about gender parity, making

36
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: sure we are fundraising for female focused charities, all kinds

37
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: of things. I enjoyed the day a lot more last

38
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: year when we had the day off. Okay, when they

39
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: give all the guys here the day off, that was amazing. Yeah. Well,

40
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: this year we want some equality that's not equality to

41
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: be got to work too. What would equality be? Equality

42
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: is letting? I mean, how didquality I don't know what

43
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: equality is, to be honest with you, Like, equality to

44
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: me is such a subjective term in a lot of ways, right,

45
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: because you know, when you say you want equality, what

46
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: exactly does that mean when you say equity, that's different, Like, like,

47
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: equity and equality are two different things to me. Now,

48
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: the equity you can actually slice up give to a person.

49
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: Equality is just like, oh, i'm you know, let's let

50
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 1: gonna treat you like an equal. Well, equity is part

51
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: of equality, it's part of it. I would rather have

52
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: the equity because equality can't be I don't think equality

53
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: can be gauged. I don't think you can quantify your quality. Well,

54
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: it depends. There's a lot of different factors that factor

55
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: into it. So, and yesterday was a very windy day,

56
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: by the way, I don't know if I think a

57
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: lot of people experience this, but I had just gotten

58
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: home and when I tell you, they said it was

59
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: winds in New York about seventy miles an hour. And

60
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: now they're saying in the Northeast as much as one

61
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty thousand people don't have power. Jesus Christ.

62
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about all of that in front Page News. Also,

63
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: do we have any guest today, I don't know what. Oh,

64
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: we do. We actually have Congresswoman Corey Bush. Congresswoman Corey

65
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: Bush woman International Women's Day. She's a perfect example of

66
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,839
Speaker 1: somebody who is always pushing the envelope and making sure

67
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: that she's heard. So yes, Congressoman Corey Bush will be here,

68
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: also doctor Kim L. Delaney and Yvonne Okay, I'm I

69
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: messed up her last name, Mabnafoy, Mabnafoy. Okay. We'll be

70
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: here this morning. And they have this great series that's

71
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 1: on Instagram and we'll talk we'll talk all about it.

72
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: But if you haven't had a chance to see it,

73
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: it's Equiano Stories, and it's the second series that they've done.

74
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: The first one is that Story told on Instagram. It

75
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: was like a movie on Instagram. That one was about

76
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: the Holocaust and I think it got like three hundred

77
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: million views. So now this one dates back to before slavery,

78
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: to show what was happening in Africa, how black people

79
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: were thriving, how we were getting our own. Our history

80
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: does not start at slavery, and that's the point of

81
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: Equiano Stories. So we'll talk about that this morning on

82
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: the breakfast Club front page news. Next, Hey, it's the

00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: Eddie didn't have off. Okay, well you don't know what

94
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? We do what we do? Not?

95
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: We do not? His name is Eddie F want what

96
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: that stands for? Let's get into Well, Yes, today is

97
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: International Women's Day, as it is every March eighth, and

98
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: this year's scene is hashtag break the Bias? So what

99
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: does International Women's Day mean? Will imagine a gender equal world?

100
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: This is, according to International Women's Day dot com, a

101
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: role for your bias, stereotypes and discrimination. A world where

102
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: difference is valued and celebrated, so together we can forage

103
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: women's equality. So today you will celebrate women's achievement, to

104
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: raise awareness against bias, take action for equality. Uh and

105
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: those are some of the themes for this year. Breaking

106
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: the bias. We should be doing that every single day.

107
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: So some of those things include building workplaces where women

108
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: can thrive. Instead of making women feel less, stand talking

109
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: over them, making them feel like their opinions and values

110
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: don't matter. Make sure women can thrive in your workplace.

111
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: Elevate the visibility of women creatives, improve equality for women

112
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: in tech. We all know there's a problem with equality

113
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: with women in tech. Forage women's empowerment worldwide. Celebrate the

114
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: women who are foraging change and also empowering women's choices.

115
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: In health, there's a lot of men trying to make

116
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: decisions about what should happen with the women's body, So

117
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: let's make sure we do those things. Also, fundraising for

118
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,480

Speaker 1: And just so you guys know about the history, these

125
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: colors originated from the Women's Social and Political Union in

126
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: the UK back in nineteen oh eight. So it's not

216
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to time to I'm trying to

217
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: get get you guys for the last couple of days.

218
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: And uh I was thinking about the guy that was

219
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: talking about big coin last week. Okay, uh I was

220
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: just trying to basically state, why is it that we

221
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: always gotta refer to like selling crack or selling drugs

222
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: in order for like, for like us to understand something,

223
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: you know. And I just feel like people go up

224
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: there and always always bring up crack of drugs when

225
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: they're trying to like get get us to understand as

226
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: opposed to, you know, say something positive together to understand.

227
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: You know why. That's a good point, man. I was

228
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: thinking about this, uh last week in reference to just

229
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: conversations we have about the Hood, when we talk about

230
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: providing opportunities, we always make it seem like a majority

231
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: of the Hood is in the criminal activity, and that's

232
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: just not the case at all. So I understand what

233
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: you're saying. The world, you know what I mean, it's

234
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: a new world already. I mean, we gotta lift each

235
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: other as opposed to, you know, keep putting a drag

236
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: in each other even in the old world. Though most

237
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: people didn't sell crack, majority of people in the Hood

238
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: to Natchell crack, that's a fact. That's a fact, as

239
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: the majority used it. I'm not gonna say that your

240
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: whole care that's not the case either, But I will

241
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: say though for a lot of people, maybe maybe that

242
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: individual and I don't know that gentleman's history, but maybe

243
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: he didn't tacky, and maybe that's what he compares it too,

244
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: because he knows I can't compare it to selling crack

245
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: because I never sold crack. So maybe for himself, maybe

246
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: that's what he was talking about because maybe he sold

247
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: it before and those the differences. But I feel like

248
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: he did a lot of comparisons, though I don't think

249
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: he just was comparing it to that. He was trying

250
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: to explain in multiple different ways. I get what he's saying.

251
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I agree with the last call, and we

252
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: all we do that when it comes to the hood.

253
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: We always put things in criminal contexts. Hello, who's this yo,

00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,720

283
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. This

284
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: is the rumor Report with Angela years but people are

285
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: loving Zoey Kravitz and the Batman. And this was not

286
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: her first time trying to break into this whole universe

287
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: on the big screen. She had told the Observer that

288
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: her attempt to audition for a role in The Dark

289
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: Knight Rises was rejected. She was told she was actually

290
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: too urban for the part. Can you imagine that now?

291
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: During a twenty fifteen interview with Nylon, she said the

292
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: role she was seeking in The Dark Knight Rises with

293
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: a small one and she couldn't even get in the

294
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: room because the film wasn't quote going urban for the role,

295
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: she said at the time, And she said, it was like, Yo,

296
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: what does that have to do with anything? I have

297
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: to play the role? Like, Yo, what's up, Batman? What's

298
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: going on with you? So, she said, being a woman

299
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: of color and being an actor and being told at

300
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: that time that I wasn't able to read because of

301
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: the color of my skin and the word urban being

302
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: thrown around like that, that was what was really hard

303
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: about that moment. Yeah, I hate the word urban in

304
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,920

00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,760

358
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: culinary space. He has a new platform. It's called kitch

359
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: KII no ki ttc h Now, kitch is a place

360
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: for foodies to interact and to learn from some of

361
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: the most famous chefs in the world. This makes sense

362
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: because people love watching all those food and cooking shows.

363
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: So he has a really strict diet. He has a

364
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: different routine for preseason, postseason, pregame, and post game. He

365
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: said before competition for me would be like a chicken

366
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: breast and maybe a little pasta. The carbs help because

367
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 1: you're going out and playing a lot of minutes. But

368
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: a salad and some veggies will have me perfectly fine.

369
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: And before the game, I might have a protein shake

370
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: and some fruit and I'll be ready to go. So

371
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: this is gonna be pretty exciting for him. They said.

372
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: Kitch can be described as the twitch TikTok zoom of

373
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: culinary y'all watch cooking shows not too much, even though

374
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: I can't cook, but I enjoy it. You just be watching.

375
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: I'm trans fact, so I'll be sitting there looking at

376
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: the cookie shows, mouth of water times, I watch um

377
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: exercise programs. I just sit there on account and watch watch.

378
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 1: I'd be like I should get up and do that.

379
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: And I like the cooking shows that make things that

380
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: we actually would eat, you know what I mean. But

381
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: about shows where you see people traveling around and eating

382
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: things you would love too, I love those to do.

383
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: The name Guy Ferrara, whatever the hell. I'm surprised he's

384
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: still alive, to be honest with you. Eats a lot

385
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: of crazy stuff. But maybe they just take a couple

386
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: of bites exactly, And there's no way that all the time. Yeah,

Speaker 1: yesterday it was like, what seventy degrees We're in New York.

456
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: For everybody listening to those around country, it was like

457
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: seventy degrees here in New York. Then now today it's

458
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: like thirty something. Yeah, and with the rain and the weather,

459
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: it feels like eighteen degrees. So all right now. Joe

460
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 1: Biden is expected to sign an executive order on cryptocurrency

461
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: this week that will be the first step toward regulating

462
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: how digital currency is traded. They have raised concerns in

463
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: recent weeks about Russia's use of crypto to evade the

464
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 1: impact of all the chanctions in response to the invasion

465
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 1: of Ukraine. So as you know, the ruble, which is

466
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: their their money, has sunk to historic lows and also

467
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: they closed the country stock market. Two people familiar with

468
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: the process said the executive Order on Cryptocurrency was expected

469
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: to be issued, and it had been in the work

470
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: so long before the war, so people were speaking on

471
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: the condition of anonymity to preview the order. It's gonna

472
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: describe what government agencies, including the Treasury Department, need to

473
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,239
Speaker 1: do so that they can develop policies and regulations on

474
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: digital currencies. And they expect that to include a request

475
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: for the State Department to ensure American crypto laws are

476
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: aligned with those of US allies. And also they'll be

477
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: monitoring the stability of the US financial system and studying

478
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: illicit finance concerns. What does that mean? Does that mean

479
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: that a lot of the other a lot of the

480
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: cryptocurrencies are going to fall to the wayside, and it's

481
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 1: only gonna be one that people focus on now. I

482
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: don't think there ever will be one that people focus on,

483
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: but they just need to regulate it because there's been

484
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: a lot of concerns. You know, it's a global currency,

485
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: and that's what I've been saying for a long time.

486
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: It's been wild, wild west. So now that the government

487
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: starts to regulate these things, a lot of people are

488
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 1: getting overall. People hopefully won't anymore. A lot of people

489
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: lost a lot of money. A lot of people also

490
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: made a lot of money. But they're gonna start regulating,

491
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: so we'll see how to regulate all of them. Though

492
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna try. I would think that you would pick

493
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: one like bigcoin is probably the most successful one. You

494
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: probably regulate all the coins and that what's the value

495
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: of them and what their worth is because people put

496
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: money into it, and then there's all these schemes and

497
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: scams and you put your money into it, then you know,

498
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: people take their money out. You you would last to know,

499
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 1: and you lose your money. So they hopefully they're regulated

500
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: some people, and a lot of those person don't lose.

501
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: Cryptos that pop up that you never heard of, So

502
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: somebody's like pushing a cryptocurrency, then they get some influencers

503
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 1: to post about it. Then you go ahead and buy

504
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: this new crypto thinking you're getting in at a rock

505
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: bottom price. But that's what I mean. They're not gonna

506
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 1: regulate all of those. The regulations whill probably handle a Yeah,

507
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: that's illegal. That's like a pump and dump scheme. People

508
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: do that with stocks and they can do that with

509
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: crypto also. But that's what I think they're gonna get

510
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: rid of a lot of those, and it's gonna be

511
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: like one or two that they really focus on and

512
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: regulation and I'll be the ones that everybody gravitate towards. Yeah,

513
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: I think Ethereum is gonna be around. I think Bigcoin

514
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: will be around, Silano. There's a lot that will still

515
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 1: there'll be different options in different choices, but they do

516
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: have to make sure. And just seeing what's happening in

517
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: Russia is really showing how people are managed managing to

518
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: evade the sanctions because they're using crypto and so even

519
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: though the Russian money has crumbled, they're still able to

520
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: finance things using cryptocurrency, which is good for people in Ukraine.

521
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: People are sending them crypto so they're able to use it.

522
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: But how do you regulate that? So we'll see what

523
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: happens and we'll see what these sanctions are looking like.

524
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: And that is your front page news all right. Now,

525
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: when we come back, we have Congresswoman Corey Bush joining us.

Speaker 1: and stuff like that. And I like you because it's

541
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: a member of the Democratic Party. You aren't afraid to

542
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: call out. Yeah, the Democratic Party. Why why is that? Well,

543
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 1: you know what, just even walking in here, you have

544
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: a picture of Michael Brown Junior hanging up in the

545
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: room next door. That's how I got into this was

546
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: just feeling like we were out there on those streets

547
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: of Ferguson for more than four hundred days and it

548
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: was like we were doing all of that work, putting

549
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: our lives on the line every single day. But we

550
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: didn't have we didn't have much inside that can make

551
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: change that needed to happen. Inside that was that was

552
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: fighting for us, like fighting to the point of putting

553
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: their name and reputation on the line. And so I

554
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: didn't want to be in Congress to have a name

555
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: or a title, or to make more money or any

556
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: of that. I don't care about any of that. I

557
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: care that I'm saving lies it's black people dying every

558
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: single day at the hands of police, or whether it's

559
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: healthcare disparities, environmental injustice, so much over and over again.

560
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: And I feel like if we don't address poverty head on,

561
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: if we just do what's comfortable, people will keep dying.

562
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: So I don't have time. My dad's been a politics

563
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: for most of my life, and so I swore I

564
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: would never do it, you know, but it was like,

565
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: how do we get this change? What did you see

566
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: when your dad was in politics that made you say

567
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to be involved. He was just like

568
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: always giving himself, so much of himself to every person

569
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: that he met. He was the person that would build

570
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: one person at a time, but so many like criticism

571
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: and scrutiny and the corruption that would come around, and

572
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: I would wonder, like, why do you volunteer to do

573
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: this work? Now? I get it now, understand because I've

574
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: been able to see youth that he helped when they

575
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: were sixteen seventeen, their families that he helped come back

576
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,479
Speaker 1: to him and say, because of what you did, you

577
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: change my life, you know, and so but I just

578
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: didn't want to have any parts of that. I just

579
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: felt like, you know, that can't be my role. You

580
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: got in a storm right now. Yeah. So for most

581
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: people that don't know what is a congresswoman's job? What

582
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: is your job to today? I represent a district within

583
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: the state of Missouri, so it's about roughly seven hundred

584
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand people. Usually m minus is a little

585
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: less than that. And our job is to legislate, to

586
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: to think about what's happening in our communities, what do

587
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: we need, and write bills that would affect change in

588
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: that area. To speak up for the district. So I

589
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: know that Saint Louis is my district is Saint Louis.

590
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: Let me rep my city in my time. Look and

591
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: so Sat. Louis usually number one, a number two for

592
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: homicides fluctuating year after year. Usually we are number one

593
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: for police murder year after year, number one for the

594
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: murder of children. We have all of these environmental issues

595
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: and so much that just attacks the black community. So

596
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: for me and as the congresswoman, I'm looking at how

597
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: do I make sure that I affect those things? Now,

598
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: let me ask you this. We've heard people say, and

599
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: Charlemagne you've said this too, that the Democrats suck at

600
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: messaging and so in particular, defund the police always kinds oft,

601
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: always be right. And so I wanted to ask you

602
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: what are se messages that you think Democrats need to

603
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: get across so that people are clear on what needs

604
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,959
Speaker 1: to get done. You know, I think that when we

605
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: look at the American Rescue Plan last year, so much

606
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: money and still money is still being allocated, being dispersed,

607
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: but you know, so much came out of the American

608
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: Rescue Plan. In Saint Louis alone, we were able to

609
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: get seven hundred million dollars that we wouldn't have gotten

610
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: had we not had our own office not pushed to

611
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: get money. It's money for housing, it was money for

612
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: you know, because so many people lost homes or needed

613
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: the rental assistance. You know, it was money for healthcare,

614
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: it was money for just going in so many different areas,

615
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: you know. But we gotta message that and say how

616
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: that money actually affected the education system. Money went into schools,

617
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: So we got to talk about that. But we also

618
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: cannot be afraid to talk about what defund the police means.

619
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: You know, we cannot, And that's my issue. It's like

620
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: the anger cannot be Oh, defund the police makes people,

621
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: It pushes people back, it makes people feel a type

622
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: of way. We don't want to say that, you know,

623
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: because the Republicans are coming against us. No, you know,

624
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: if they don't get to tell us what our message is,

625
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: fix the problem. And then I won't have to say,

626
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: defund the police, fix the problem, and I won't have

627
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: to talk about livable wages, fix the problem. And I

628
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: won't have to sit here figuring out how I'm helping

629
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: black women right now. Because even as we're saying, oh,

630
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: these great job numbers came out today, Oh, America added

631
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: three hundred and seventy eight thousand more jobs, which is wonderful,

632
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: But for black women. Again, black women, our numbers did

633
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: not get better. Our numbers got worse. Why is it

634
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: that black women are the only ones who's unemployment numbers

635
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: got worse. Our messaging has to target that. Why do

636
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: Democrats always let the right like co opt their slogans

637
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: like the fund the police instead of just simply explaining

638
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: what the fund the police is? To get the slogan this,

639
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: explain what it is it? Why don't they do that? Bypartisanship,

640
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: you know, that's what I hear all the time. Oh,

641
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: it's bypartisanship. We gotta make sure that we don't upset

642
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: them because when they become it, when they come back

643
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: into power, they're going to mistreat us what they already

644
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: mistreat us. They do whatever they want that now, right,

645
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: and they don't care about by partisanship. No, I'm really

646
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: confused on how that works. Yeah, I don't get it.

647
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,479
Speaker 1: As the party, we should be able to stand up, Yeah,

648
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: this is what we said, this is what we mean,

649
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: you know, and we take over that narrative. I was

650
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: gonna ask with the sanctions that they put on Russian

651
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: it always seems like they have no money for our community.

652
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: But when it's time to help another nation, they can

653
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: send an ammunition, they can send money, they can send

654
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: all that stuff, so billions of dollars like it's nothing.

655
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: Absolutely ten billion dollar is actually right now I'm looking

656
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: at Okay, while we're talking about all of this that's

657
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: happening in Ukraine and Russia, what else is happening that

658
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: is not being talked about? Because that's how so many

659
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: things send it, rejecting to build a quotified abortion rights. Yeah,

660
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 1: stuff like that exactly. I haven't three four days ago,

661
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: I haven't heard nobody talking about that. Really. Yeah, everything

662
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: is just being like passed on, you know, even talking

663
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: about how the black asylum seeker is over in Ukraine,

664
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,879
Speaker 1: how they're being treated. You know, we can't get enough

665
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 1: attention put on that, you know, but everywhere we're seeing

666
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: black and brown people being pushed to the side, no

667
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: matter what part of the world you're in. Can I

668
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: can I comment on your fingernail, your fails a fire?

669
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: But people, you know, oh, you're supposed to change your nails,

670
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: and you're supposed to change your hair and all of

671
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: this who I am And it's because you use your

672
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: hands a last. Yeah, these are still my black history nails.

673
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: You don't want to shout out your nail jack, you

674
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: know what I mean? She's still paying for a price

675
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: that's su But should so should the United States be

676
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: sending over money and weapons to Ukraine. I look at

677
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: this two ways. I look at it from the standpoint

678
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: of the person who's on the ground, who has to

679
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: move and get out of there and get out of

680
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 1: where they are just in case their home is bombed.

681
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: You know. So do we need to make sure that

682
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: humanitarian aid is there? Absolutely, But it should not just

683
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: be us. Other countries should be helping to make sure

684
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: that that is done, because if it was us and

685
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: we needed help someone, we would need someone else to

686
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: help us weapons. You know, I'm anti war, so I'm

687
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 1: not for that, but I do understand. I keep going

688
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: back to what if it was me? What if it

689
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: was my kids and they had nothing to fight with?

690
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: The thing is for me. Why are we talking about

691
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: sending more weapons and more weapons and we are not

692
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 1: even talking about a diplomatic solution. What about a cease

693
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: What about really making it clear that we need a ceasefire?

694
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: What about talking to the allies, to those folks that

695
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,879
Speaker 1: do have good relationships with Russia. Why did I bring

696
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 1: them to the car. Why aren't we talking about Saudi Arabe.

697
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: But why aren't we talking about some of these countries

698
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: that have those relationships, Because I don't want to keep

699
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: thinking about sending sending weapons because weapons hurting. You know,

700
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, those weapons will hurt

701
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,280
Speaker 1: innocent people. Do you think that will end up sending

702
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 1: troops into Ukraine? I thought they did already. They're in

703
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: the neighboring countries. Um, if the President keeps saying not,

704
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: I honestly don't know. But I also don't think that

705
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: this is going to be something that's just going to

706
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: last this year or next year. This is probably going

707
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: to be a decade, you know, or more if we

708
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: don't actually do something. All right, we got more with

709
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: Congresswoman Corey Bush. Don't move. It's the breakfast club. Good morning, Charlomagne.

710
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: What do you think about mansion and cinema making Biden

711
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: looking so ineffective or the Biden administration just an ineffective period?

712
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: You know, to have these two senators that have been

713
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: able to totally disrupt his agenda like it bothers me

714
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: day to day when I think about the four million

715
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: children that just went back into poverty because that child

716
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: tax credit ended. Joe mansion Kirsten Cinema should not be

717
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: able to make decisions for the entire country for people

718
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: that don't have to live the way that other people

719
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: have to live. They don't have those same issues that

720
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: other people have to face and to make those decisions.

721
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: It's rehensible that they just don't even that nothing happens,

722
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,479
Speaker 1: and so they have no business being in those types

723
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: of positions. If they don't care about regular people, if

724
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: you are so corporate back that all you care about

725
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: is those is those corporate donors, then go go do

726
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: that work. You know, um, I feel like me and

727
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: five of my friends people call the squad. You know,

728
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: we stuck our next out. As much as we want

729
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: the infrastructure money, we absolutely want that money. We want

730
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: to make sure that our roads and bridges and you

731
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: know all of that. We want that money that was

732
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: in there for climaing. But when you say, well we

733
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,879
Speaker 1: can give you this, but oh healthcare, home health workers, Yeah,

734
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: we don't want to We don't want to deal with that.

735
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: Oh children need childcare. Oh no, no, we don't want

736
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: to pay for that, you know, we don't. We don't

737
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: want money for community violence prevention, and we don't want

738
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: to lower prescription drug costs. We don't want to cap

739
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: insulent thirty five dollars. No, we don't need all of that.

740
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: We just need to take her of our rosen bridges.

741
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: I have a problem with that. We stood up when

742
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: the President made the phone call. He made a phone

743
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: call to say and need you all to stand with

744
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: me and go ahead and vote. We have to move forward.

745
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: You know, we need to get the infrastructure package. We

746
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: need to get that deal done today, that vote done.

747
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: I was clear and I said no. I said I wasn't.

748
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: I wasn't supporting that. You know, I didn't. I didn't

749
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: go to Congress. I didn't run the way that I ran.

750
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 1: You know, after my very first run to get in Congress,

751
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: you know, I suffered a very violent rate three and

752
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: a half weeks later and I still ran. I still

753
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: started running again for four months later. After my second race,

754
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 1: I was t boned and couldn't walk the last two

755
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 1: and a half months of my race Alexandra Kano Quartet.

756
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: Another car, a car was revving up and hit me,

757
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: but I still turned around and ran again. And then

758
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 1: even I had COVID the next time when I was running,

759
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,240
Speaker 1: but I still ran again because I was thinking about

760
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: how do we make sure that these voices end up

761
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 1: there that can make change, even if it hurts me.

762
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: It was like, how can I turn my back on

763
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: the people now? You know? And it's not that I

764
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: don't respect our president. It's not that at all. But

765
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: I came here to represent the people of my district.

766
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: I do respect that. But you know, sometimes they say,

767
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: you know, staying busy is a trauma response. It keeps

768
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: you from thinking about all the things that you're going through.

769
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: So are you okay after all that stuff that you

770
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: went through? Yeah, I'm you know, I still therapist. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

771
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: you know, Um, I have a therapist, um, and I

772
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 1: do things that help me to get through. So like

773
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: this is a this is a yeah, well, well the

774
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 1: little things on it, these these run songs. If I'm

775
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 1: having a moment where I'm starting to feel triggered, then

776
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: you you rub on that and it helps to bring

777
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 1: you back. Oh yeah, I got all kinds of tricks.

778
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: So you're actively healing, Like I know you got my

779
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 1: polysantal head. We do all that exactly. Absolutely, Okay, I'm

780
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: president do right now to get some of these bills

781
00:39:56,080 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: passed because some people feel like he's not being aggressive enough. Yeah.

782
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 1: So what I've been talking about with people that I

783
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: work more closely with, one of those people being Senator

784
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, is just the pullouts, Like what can we

785
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: pull out of that bill back Better Act and to

786
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: at least get some of these things done. So what

787
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: can we do as a standalone bill? So? Can we

788
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 1: do community violence prevention money? Can we poll that five

789
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: billion dollars out and go ahead and get that money?

790
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 1: You know? Can we do the childcare? You know? Can

791
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: we make sure that three and four year olds are

792
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: able to go to school and the parents I have

793
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 1: to pay anything and so some of so just looking

794
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: at how we can do that. You know, we didn't

795
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: get George Floyd justice in policing, but can we do

796
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: something to get ending qualified immunity? You know, I was

797
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 1: just yesterday I was at a press conference with the

798
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: Joseph family. Andrew Joseph, the third fourteen year old who

799
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:51,240
Speaker 1: was killed in Tampa, Florida, eight years ago. Eight years

800
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: his family has been fighting for justice for them, for

801
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: their child and accountability actually for their child. But eight

802
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: years and we still don't have We're no close to

803
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: the ending qualified immunity. So those are things that we

804
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: need to be looking at. What we can pull out

805
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: from that bill, from any of the bills that we

806
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 1: haven't gotten. We don't even have voting rights. Do you

807
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 1: remember on the campaign trail when Democrats actually cared about

808
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: police reform, when they used to at least talk about it,

809
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: like what happened Joe Biden didn't even mention it in

810
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: the State of the Union. Yeah, you know, the Republicans

811
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: have been able to shape the narrative just so. It's

812
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,720
Speaker 1: to the point of, no matter what you say about

813
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: police reform, it means defunding the police. No matter what

814
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: you say about police reform, it means division. And for us,

815
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: our voice has to be louder on what it actually means.

816
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: And you you don't get to tell us how we

817
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: can react, or how we should or how we should behave,

818
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: or what our anger looks like, or what type of

819
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: policies we should push forward. You don't get to tell

820
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: us that if the problem still persists, Because twenty one

821
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: had the highest number of police killings in the last

822
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: several years. Millions of people were out in the streets

823
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty fighting with justice and the numbers went up.

824
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: Why is that because we're not doing what we need

825
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,439
Speaker 1: to do to address the problem. And like you said,

826
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 1: if we would have heard that come across at the

827
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: State of the Union the other night, that would have

828
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: set the stage, set the narrative. It would have said

829
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:26,919
Speaker 1: for the rest of the year, this is already. Yes,

830
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: they don't even mention it. How have you gotten a

831
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 1: response from the White House? Because I know you said

832
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: that you criticize your Biden for not even mentioning saving

833
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 1: black lives at the State of the Union. Have you

834
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: gotten a response from them? No? I have not surprised.

835
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: We haven't. But but but the thing is, our president

836
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: and the administration they know exactly how I feel. In

837
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: my conversations that I've had with the President or the

838
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: Vice President or other parts of other members of the administration.

839
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,919
Speaker 1: I have been very clear from day one. I don't

840
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: believe they were surprised. Demos don't care about black people

841
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 1: no more. I feel like they know they got us.

842
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: They can our votes a damn their game yaranteed. And

843
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: it's just like our issues and everything else can go

844
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: to the backburn. You know what ends up happening is

845
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: and this is something that at least, this is my opinion.

846
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: When I came to Congress, I was oftentimes told, well, like,

847
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: don't say those things, because we got to make sure

848
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 1: that we get you know, that we get our more

849
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 1: moderate democrats reelected, because it's more important that we keep

850
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,439
Speaker 1: these seats than it is that we like really push

851
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 1: in some areas. And I can understand wanting to keep

852
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: seats because we need the numbers to be able to

853
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 1: get things done. But you know, we can no longer

854
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: push those communities to the side to be able to

855
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 1: save seats. We got to do both at the same time.

856
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: You save lives and you figure out how to communicate

857
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: to save seats. But Congress Owen Bush, how has voting

858
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: rates become a far left issue the cornerstone of our democracy?

859
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: How has that become a far left issue? Why is

860
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: that a radical to talk about people having voting rights

861
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,919
Speaker 1: when we look at the history. You know, we had

862
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: to fight to get those rights in the first place.

863
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: You know, it was it was definitely an issue of

864
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: you know, of what white supremacy looks like in this country,

865
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,320
Speaker 1: and white supremacy is not dead. It didn't go anywhere,

866
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: It didn't even have to morph. It is ingrained into

867
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: this society. And so what we're doing is we're pulling

868
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: the threads trying to break that apart. But when we

869
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: have people who get in power and want to hold

870
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: those structures, that's why that's where we get this from.

871
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: We get the rhetoric that says that, you know, if

872
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: we talk about voting rights, then that means that you're

873
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: trying to push a black agenda. You're pushing a black agenda. Well,

874
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: the problem is when black folks and brown folks are

875
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: in our Native community members are the ones that are

876
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 1: targeted with the voter suppression. That can't continue to be

877
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: the strategy for them. As though right Dems can't always

878
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: energize us to vote by telling us that our right

879
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: to vote is being taken away, at some point they

880
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: should be governing like they want us to go out

881
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: there and vote for them. I want to go vote

882
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 1: for them because they're actually doing things for us, as

883
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: opposed to scaring me and telling me go vote because

884
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: they're trying to take you right to vote away. Yeah. Yeah,

885
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: And so that's what I'm hoping. I'm hoping that at

886
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: least with these pullouts that we're talking about these standalone

887
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 1: bills that at least we can bring something home to say, look,

888
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 1: these are the promises we made, so we have to

889
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: deliver on them. You know, I don't blame people. I

890
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: hear all the time when they say, well, why you know,

891
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: like you told us that if we did this, that

892
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: we would get these things, and now those things didn't happen,

893
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: and so why should I Why should I believe that

894
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: something will change? Now? You know, I get it, I

895
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 1: absolutely get it. But one thing that I tell them

896
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: is that your vote is not just for that one

897
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: person or that one thing. You know, there are ballot

898
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: initiatives on that same ballot. There are other more local

899
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: people running for office on that same ballot. So I

900
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 1: make it clear that it's so much more than I

901
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: know that sometimes Congress and the presidency looks like, oh well,

902
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: they don't care about us, but if there are also

903
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: it's a lot of local issues there that we need

904
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 1: to we have to care about. All Right, we got

905
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,359
Speaker 1: more with Congresswoman Corey Bush. Don't move. It's to breakfast club.

906
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: Good morning morning, everybody, cj Envy angela Ye, Charlomagne, the

907
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 1: guy we are. The breakfast club was still kicking it

908
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: with Congresswoman Corey Bush Charlomagne. So why should voters vote

909
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: for Democrats in the midterms when Democrats haven't gotten done

910
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: with thee said the Wood thus far. Yeah, but the

911
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: the alternative to that is people who are actively working

912
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: against us. But people will say, well, Joe Mansion is

913
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:25,399
Speaker 1: actively working against us. Yeah, right, but yeah, it wouldn't matter.

914
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: Run somebody against him. Yeah, oh, absolutely, got against him.

915
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely. He might as well just go ahead and

916
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 1: be a Republican. You know, you know, you're one of

917
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: the only ones that say that everybody else be scared

918
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: to death to even say his name, like he's candy Man. Yeah.

919
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: You know, let me tell you from what I've seen

920
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: in my life, if they you know, they messed up

921
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: by not killing me doing Ferguson. So now yeah they yeah, yeah, yeah,

922
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: they missed. And so you know those bullets they hit

923
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 1: my car, they didn't hit me, they didn't hit my daughter.

924
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: That happened, Well that was another time. But what happened yet?

925
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: So just recently, you know, somebody came up to my

926
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 1: car door. I was not in the car, was inside

927
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: of my home. Um, someone was in my car that

928
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: came up to the car. The person was like, what

929
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: are you doing? Um, and they got spooked and they

930
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,879
Speaker 1: turned around and they started shooting and dumped about tim

931
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 1: bullets into my vehicle. The person didn't get hit. Um. Yeah,

932
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: so I came running like what is happening? But yeah,

933
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: so no, we were fine. But I think it was

934
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 1: just random. They you know, we didn't there was no

935
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: like investigation or anything into that investigation. Police didn't come.

936
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 1: They didn't. I mean, they came and they took pictures,

937
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 1: they got they you know, I don't know though, because

938
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: I do live in a lethal toxic environment, you know,

939
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,399
Speaker 1: And we didn't catch anyone. We don't know exactly who

940
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: it was. Um. And it's not the first time I

941
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 1: happened the place where I live now, I moved from

942
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: the other place that my my car got hit with

943
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 1: bullets at that place right in front of my home again,

944
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 1: you know, another time like I like I brought up

945
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: that was doing ferguson though in our car was hit

946
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 1: with bullets. So you know, I've gone through so much,

947
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm more afraid of what happens to

948
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 1: our people who don't have any type of help, that

949
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: don't have that are looking for an advocate. When I

950
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: was sleeping out on the street, I didn't know who

951
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: to talk to. I was sleeping on the street with

952
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 1: my babies in the car. We had had nowhere to go,

953
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:20,839
Speaker 1: and I didn't know who to talk to. I didn't

954
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 1: know how to get out of that situation. I remember

955
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,320
Speaker 1: being so hungry that I was only feeding my babies,

956
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: and I would go for days without eating. I don't

957
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,439
Speaker 1: want anyone else to go through those issues. So I'm

958
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,320
Speaker 1: more afraid of not being effective enough to help those

959
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: folks that are going dealing with that than I am

960
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: about some bullets that somebody can shoot at me, than

961
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: I am about somebody hurting me and all of that.

962
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:44,240
Speaker 1: But I'm smart enough to know I gotta be alive

963
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 1: in order to do this work. So that's why I

964
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: have security. I know God protecting me, but I still

965
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 1: sleep on my gap. You know. Look, he gives us wisdom.

966
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 1: I only got to come to questions. I know you

967
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: gotta go, but I love this tweet. You without Democrats

968
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: trying to out Republican Republicans is not a Winnie scratg

969
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 1: What that mean? The whole idea that was another part

970
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: of the whole defund the police. It was just that rhetoric,

971
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 1: and you know, just making sure that they just keep

972
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,240
Speaker 1: drilling those points, but not just defund the police anything

973
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 1: like if you if we take the Republican talking points,

974
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: or if we allow them to tell us what we

975
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,359
Speaker 1: think or to stop us. You know, when I think

976
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: about the insurrection, when I think about being there that

977
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:24,320
Speaker 1: day when the insurrection happened, when these folks attacked the capital,

978
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: you know, the next day we were right back at work,

979
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 1: still working alongside people who were involved. Yeah, And I

980
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 1: have to look at them every single day. I'm in

981
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 1: coat committees with them, I'm in the halls with them.

982
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: They hop on the elevator like, those folks are around us,

983
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 1: in their staff, around us all the time, you know,

984
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,919
Speaker 1: And so I listening to the things that they say.

985
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: They talk every no matter what the conversation is about,

986
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 1: it always goes back to the border and who's trying

987
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: to hurt us at the border, and who are the

988
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: thugs and just all of this kind of craziness. Those

989
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: folks aren't standing up for Those folks don't don't believe

990
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 1: that it should be equal. Think about folks that gave

991
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: their lives that their blood, sweat and tears. Think about

992
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 1: what happened during reconstruction. Think about how Black Americans built, built,

993
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 1: enslaved Africans, and then Black Americans built this country, and

994
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 1: how we still have We still don't have what we

995
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 1: should have from there's been no reparations. We can't even

996
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 1: get equity to talk about equality. We can't even get

997
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: equity to even get to equality. We didn't even hear

998
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 1: Biden talk about that, like all of those things that

999
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 1: they used as talking points to real black people in

1000
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 1: the camp Paigture, I didn't him talk about racial equity

1001
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 1: during the State of the Union. Didn't him talk about

1002
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: police reform? Nothing? No, And so I talked about it.

1003
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: They talked about voting rights real briefly, So I'll talk

1004
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 1: about it. Congresswoman Bush, does it benefit black people to

1005
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,800
Speaker 1: be a part of anyone particular party. Let me just

1006
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 1: say this. When my very first run, I ran as

1007
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 1: an independent. I was running as an independent at first,

1008
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: and then I had to switch to a Democrat. I

1009
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 1: wanted to be able to go where the legislation was

1010
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 1: that meant the most for my community. But the issue

1011
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 1: is when we look at what has happened over the

1012
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: last even a few years since Donald Trump became president.

1013
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: The way he ran and what he believed is not

1014
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,359
Speaker 1: only in Congress anymore. It's in our secretary it's our

1015
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 1: secretaries of state, it's in our school boards, it's all

1016
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: over the place. So now we're at a point a

1017
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 1: place where now we got to make that decision because

1018
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: the Republican Party is so much like there's a lot

1019
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:26,800
Speaker 1: of just anti blackness in an anti brown community, anti

1020
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:30,839
Speaker 1: Asian community, anti anti anti so I think looking at

1021
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 1: who is going to care enough about your situation. I

1022
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 1: think right now we're still looking at the Democrats, even

1023
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 1: though it's not great. I'm not even gonna lie it's

1024
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 1: not great. But that's why I'm pushing for help, getting

1025
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:45,800
Speaker 1: more folks that are willing to do that fight. You know,

1026
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:48,720
Speaker 1: that's where we have to be, y'all. Often one thing nowadays,

1027
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: our Democrats are really pro black? Are they just tolerant

1028
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: of blacks? Yeah? Yeah, that's what it feels like. That

1029
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 1: feels like that's the party that tolerates us. Yeah. I

1030
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 1: can't call him pro black because the actions those well,

1031
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:02,839
Speaker 1: you know what, I think what's weaved in there though,

1032
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,440
Speaker 1: it's still money. Because I sit with these people all

1033
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 1: the time and they'll talk about like, yeah, Corey, we

1034
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 1: believe that, Yeah, we'll do that, And I say, well,

1035
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 1: why won't you Why won't you support me on this bill?

1036
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: Why won't you do this? Well? See, you know I

1037
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 1: you know I can't go against X or I can't.

1038
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: So part of it is, you know, yeah, I support

1039
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:23,839
Speaker 1: those things, but because of this money that I took,

1040
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 1: or because of how I ran, you know, those things,

1041
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 1: so that it's a that comes into play. My last question,

1042
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:34,319
Speaker 1: congressmen bulls, how would you define our democracy right now? Oh?

1043
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 1: H it's suffering. Our democracy never was strong in the

1044
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 1: first place. Let's just be it never was strong because

1045
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 1: when you have whole groups of people where there's no

1046
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,360
Speaker 1: equity and we're not equal in this country, was never strong.

1047
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:49,800
Speaker 1: But we're in a place now where I feel like

1048
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: it's being the little bit that we did have as

1049
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 1: being poured apart, ripped to shreds. And there has been

1050
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:58,320
Speaker 1: this um mobilization happening that we didn't even see, that

1051
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 1: we didn't know about, and so we got to come

1052
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: out just as hard if we want, if we want

1053
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 1: to reclaim this democracy, and you know, to the point

1054
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 1: where we actually feel it should be, not just where

1055
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 1: it was, because we got to do better than what

1056
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,839
Speaker 1: we had. If we're going to do that, we gotta

1057
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 1: come out harder than we've ever been and we've got

1058
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 1: to do this thing differently than we've ever done it.

1059
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:24,280
Speaker 1: And so I'm looking for more you know, quote unquote

1060
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 1: warriors soldiers that's willing to do that fight, right, Congresswoman

1061
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:31,839
Speaker 1: Corey Bush, we appreciate you for joining us this morning. Yeah,

1062
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:33,920

1086
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:57,759
Speaker 1: five thousand square feets. Who purchased that mansion, Well, that

1087
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: person has been a revealed church seggy and he is

1088
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 1: the founder of Fashion Nova. One hundred forty four, one

1089
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 1: hundred and forty one million after all fees. That's crazy,

1090
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 1: that is crazy Fashion Noval. But he won bedrooms. That

1091
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 1: house better be nuclear bomb proof. One hundred and five squifte.

1092
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 1: You better have the best one hundred five thousand squift

1093
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do it. Oh listen, God bless him.

1094
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:24,800
Speaker 1: But that's a lot for a house. What does the

1095
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 1: house do? Give me some more? He told the time

1096
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 1: to be able to do more, to live in it.

1097
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 1: He said, the one Bell area is a once in

1098
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: a lifetime property that can never be duplicated. There is

1099
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 1: nothing else like it. As a lifelong Angelino and collector,

1100
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 1: a a collector of real estate, I recognize this as

1101
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 1: a rare opportunity that also lets me own a unique

1102
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 1: property that is destined to be a part of Los

1103
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: Angeles history. Now, mind you, this house was going for

1104
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 1: five hundred million dollars. That was asking what does I

1105
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 1: guess it got it for a bargain at one hundred

1106
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:54,360
Speaker 1: and twenty six million. Is it a spaceship on the weekends?

1107
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: Can visit Mars? What does it do? I mean, it's

1108
00:55:57,640 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 1: it's a house that just has every amenity that you

1109
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:04,319
Speaker 1: could poss imagine, from bowling alley to movie theater, tennis court,

1110
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:08,439
Speaker 1: basketball courts, there's you name it, numerous bedrooms. He needs

1111
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 1: to have a lot of kids. Boy, I have six

1112
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: of my kids would probably will live in a couple

1113
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 1: of rooms. He needs like twelve kids and laws, all

1114
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 1: types of things in there that I mean, congratulations to him.

1115
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 1: I love it. Well, Drake is selling three homes that

1116
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 1: he has in Hidden Hills, California, and he is selling

1117
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 1: those three homes. You can buy them all together, all

1118
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 1: three offered at twenty two point two million dollars. And

1119
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 1: you know, if you want to get that, you can

1120
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:33,439
Speaker 1: make it happen. We told you earlier that he also

1121
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:37,880
Speaker 1: just bought a new home as well. That's in Los Angeles, proper.

1122
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 1: I'm a biden. Bitcoin people aren't buying mansions with bitcoin.

1123
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: Well Drake did with that house is dope too, because

1124
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 1: he purchased a house, any purchased the properties next to him,

1125
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 1: so nobody would live next to him. He has the

1126
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 1: space to put, you know, a gated vicinity around it,

1127
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 1: so nobody could just run upon his property. So it's

1128
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: just wild to hear that kind of money being thrown around,

1129
00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:58,760
Speaker 1: and like people paying that kind of money for houses

1130
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: when we have such a homeless pademic in America. Like

1131
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 1: that's just wild to me, all right. And since we're

1132
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:07,879
Speaker 1: talking about money, Chris Brown is listing his custom two

1133
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 1: thousand and twelve Lamborghini Aventador for three hundred thousand dollars. No,

1134
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:14,320
Speaker 1: he sold already. He sold it to somebody else in

1135
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 1: the person as Motors in Los Angeles is listing it.

1136
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 1: But that is Chris Brown's ex Lambo yep x Lambo.

1137
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 1: I better not hearing none of them people complaining about

1138
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 1: the price of gas. If I see Chris Brown or Draco,

1139
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 1: any of them people complaining about the price of gas.

1140
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 1: With all that money, they're going around gas with takis

1141
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 1: and change three dollars and change that a fact, it's

1142
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 1: five dollars. You got it, all right. And Chris Rock

Speaker 1: gender stereotype, discrimination and bias. We will call out gendered

1201
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:49,200

01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 1: women have con troll over decisions about their own bodies.

1207
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 1: Also forging women's empowerment worldwide. This is not just something

1208
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 1: in the United States. This is a global movement. Building

Speaker 1: better environment for women who are your co workers. Uh,

1211
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 1: so make sure you do that. Elevating visibility of women

1212
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 1: creatives and improving equality for women in tech. We all

1213
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 1: know tech is the future, so we have to make

1214
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 1: sure that there are more women involved in that space.

1243
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:50,480
Speaker 1: I hear so many stories about women who work two

1244
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:52,760
Speaker 1: or three jobs just to make sure that there's food

1245
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 1: on the table. Also come home and take care of

1246

Speaker 1: the household. So shout out to you. We love and

1247
01:02:56,800 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 1: appreciate you. Okay. And yeah, just a lot of women.

1248
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:03,120
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm surrounded by women all the time.

1249
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 1: Shout out to the ladies of lip Service too. And

1250
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 1: that show was started really just to celebrate women and

1251
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 1: also make sure that we had a space that was safe,

1252
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 1: but we could talk about anything we wanted to when

1253
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 1: it came to relationships, when it came to sex. There's

1254
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: so many different taboos and restrictions when it comes to

1255
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 1: women discussing things about ourselves. So I find that show

1256
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 1: to be really empowering and so just so much going

1257
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:24,440
Speaker 1: on and we want to hear your stories as well.

1258
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:27,840
Speaker 1: And actually coming up, we have two amazing women who

1259
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 1: will be joining us for International Women's Day. We have

1260
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 1: Kim Delaney. She's the director of Education and Programs at

1261
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 1: the DuSable Museum of African American History from Chicago. Also

1262
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:43,040
Speaker 1: Vanne and Benefo. She's a filmmaker, a cultural consultant and historian.

1263
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 1: And they're here to talk about Equiano Stories. And I

1264
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys have seen this, but it's

1265
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 1: basically a movie that's on Instagram. This is the second

1266
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 1: of the series that they're doing, these Steelo Stories, and

1267
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 1: so it's an award winning film studio. And basically what

1268
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: they're doing is they're telling a story that's based on

1269
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:04,240
Speaker 1: truth about a young boy named Equiano who was kidnapped

1270
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 1: and enslaved in West Africa in seventeen fifty six. But

1271
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 1: it shows what his life was like before he was kidnapped,

1272
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 1: before he was enslaved, and you get to actually watch

1273
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 1: him tell his story through social media on Instagram. And

1274
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 1: so it's great for kids to be able to relate

1275
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 1: to these stories today. It's really it's hard to watch

1276
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 1: at certain parts but I do feel like it's really educational.

1277
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 1: So when you watch these stories on Instagram, you can

1278
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 1: follow Equiano dot stories and see everything. But it's over

1279
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:35,000
Speaker 1: four hundred people were on the cast in making this

1280
01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 1: and it's a multimillion dollar production, but it's done in

1281
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:40,280
Speaker 1: a really special way on Instagram. So I want to

1282
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 1: celebrate these women and they're here to talk about Equianna Stories.

1283
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:50,520
Speaker 1: Coming up next on The Breakfast Club. Good Breakfast Club Morning.

1284
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:54,640
Speaker 1: Everybody's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are

1285
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:56,960
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. We have some special guests joining us today.

1286
01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:58,920
Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear this. We have doctor Kim

1287
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:12,680
Speaker 1: Delaney and we have Yvonne were welcome, guys. Thank you,

01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:14,680
Speaker 1: thank you for having us, Thank you for having us.

1289
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 1: Now tell us we're talking about these Acquiana squian Stories. Yeah,

1290
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:20,920
Speaker 1: we've been watching it and it's it's pretty dope. How

1291
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 1: you guys have been putting it out there and creating creative.

1292
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:26,000
Speaker 1: So for people that don't know, explain what these are.

1293
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:31,040
Speaker 1: Aquiana Stories is part of a series of movies we're

1294
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:34,960
Speaker 1: trying to make um stellar stories. So Stello Stories, the

1295
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 1: first series is a series of ten remarkable young people

1296
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:42,040
Speaker 1: throughout history. So we're trying to get the history to

1297
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 1: the people. And our main target our young people, and

1298
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 1: this is the best place to get them is where

1299
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 1: they are, which is social media. That's why we tried that.

1300
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:54,919
Speaker 1: We're trying this new genre of um, you know, boy

1301
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:57,640
Speaker 1: with the phone, girl with the phone kind of storytelling,

1302
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 1: so that we removed that idea of a director, so

1303
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 1: you know, it's as if they're talking to you one

1304
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 1: to one. So we believe that's the easiest way to

1305
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 1: get to people and get people to learn without realizing

1306
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 1: their learning. And this idea come about because it's fascinating

1307
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:18,640
Speaker 1: to me watching these Instagram stories that are really educating

1308
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:22,080
Speaker 1: you but also entertaining you. So whose idea was they

1309
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 1: tell me how this whole thing happened. Um, well that

1310
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:29,480
Speaker 1: was before I joined Stellar Stories because I'm an executive there.

1311
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:33,520
Speaker 1: But from what the founders said, like they've been doing

1312
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 1: research thinking of ways to you know, break that chain off.

1313
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:39,440
Speaker 1: If you don't read a book, you don't learn history.

1314
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:42,439
Speaker 1: So I think from research and then finding out what's

1315
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:45,760
Speaker 1: out there and you know kind of you know, thinking

1316
01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:48,760
Speaker 1: of out of the box ways to you know, make

1317
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 1: movies accessible to everyone. So that's how you know, it

1318
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:54,440
Speaker 1: just came about. And then with the first film. The

1319
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 1: first film was Ever Stories, which is a story about

1320
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:04,200
Speaker 1: a young girl if a Heyman, who lived during the Holocaust,

1321
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:07,520
Speaker 1: and you know, we turned her diary into a movie.

1322
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:10,840
Speaker 1: So for each one we make, we perfect our craft.

1323
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 1: And how long is the movie? It's eighteen minutes in

1324
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 1: total for Equano movies. Why do you put it on?

1325
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:20,160
Speaker 1: I've seen it and I love the love the stories

1326
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:23,040
Speaker 1: that I was watching, But why on the story because

1327
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 1: in the story, after twenty four hours it disappears. For Instagram,

1328
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:30,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't disappear. Yeah, so you can set in such

1329
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:32,360
Speaker 1: a way that it's there. It's like underneath, you know,

1330
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 1: underneath you end understory. Yes, so it's it's there. That's

1331
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:40,360
Speaker 1: why we chose that, and we also have it on

1332
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 1: We're about to launch it tomorrow on TikTok as well,

1333
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 1: because um one of Kim's people said, oh, why why

1334
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:55,040
Speaker 1: isn't it our TikTok? That's why the kids. Yeah, So

1335
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:57,960
Speaker 1: what we do our Stellar Stellar Stories, we try to

1336
01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:00,400
Speaker 1: be reactive and we're not stuck to one kind of

1337
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 1: technology or platform where the people are. We go there

1338
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 1: now you know everything is of course, it's course right,

1339
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 1: And although you guys are doing such a great thing,

1340
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:13,600
Speaker 1: it has to be paid for somehows a way. Usually

1341
01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 1: when you sell it to a you know, TV show

1342
01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 1: or something like that, it's commercials that pay the bills.

1343
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 1: So how were you guys, you know, getting moneys at

1344
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 1: donations to make sure that you guys can continue to

1345
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:27,840
Speaker 1: tape and travel and do all those things. It's been funded. Um, Like,

1346
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 1: what we're trying to do is we're trying to get

1347
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 1: our name out there because we're not Disney, but we're

1348
01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 1: trying to get to Disney levels. Okay, so the only

1349
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 1: way what we're trying to do is to get our

1350
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 1: name out there and then we start, you know from now.

1351
01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 1: We're not commercializing it because i'm first and foremost. You know,

1352
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:49,520
Speaker 1: the first one was a holocaust, second one about enslavement,

1353
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:54,040
Speaker 1: which are very sensitive topics. So we're not commercializing that. Yeah,

1354
01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 1: it's funded by a philanthropist, Yeah, philanthropist. It's a multimillion

1355
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:02,720
Speaker 1: dollar project. It's a dream come true for Disavo and

1356
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:06,240
Speaker 1: for myself. I'm a retired professor of African American studies.

1357
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 1: This particular story It's a story that I learned in

1358
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 1: familet and then taught in familet. So when it came

1359
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:15,320
Speaker 1: to us to partner and consult on it, it was

1360
01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 1: like a dream come true, especially on somebody else dollar.

1361
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:20,400
Speaker 1: That's what I told them. This is the best project

1362
01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:23,439
Speaker 1: I ever worked on, because somebody else is paying for

1363
01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 1: me to live my dream and teach African American studies

1364
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:29,000
Speaker 1: to the world. So this is a true story. Let's

1365
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:32,760
Speaker 1: talk about the story of Equiano. Yeah. So Equiano was

1366
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:38,400
Speaker 1: a child in West Africa, right in Nigeria and Ebo Land,

1367
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 1: and he was born in seventeen forty five. In seventeen

1368
01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:45,240
Speaker 1: fifty six, he got kidnapped in the slavery. But what's

1369
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:47,560
Speaker 1: so beautiful about this story. It was different about this

1370
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 1: story is that normally the story starts in slavery. The

1371
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:54,679
Speaker 1: power of this story and why I'm on the project

1372
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 1: is because when we tell our own stories, we start

1373
01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:00,560
Speaker 1: with humanity. Right. So he told his own story. He

1374
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:03,720
Speaker 1: was the first person to write his own slave narrative. Right.

1375
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:06,800
Speaker 1: The difference in his narrative and other narratives you see

1376
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:09,000
Speaker 1: is that he begins it in Africa. We see the

1377
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:12,800
Speaker 1: love of his family, we see culturally specific things. And

1378
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 1: in all the years that I taught African American studies,

1379
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 1: that's that's what I loved most about the story. That

1380
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 1: it started with his family, and that's what we wanted

1381
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:23,400
Speaker 1: to tease out. So this our particular telling of this

1382
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:27,000
Speaker 1: story starts at age eleven and it ends at age eleven.

1383
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:30,280
Speaker 1: It's just that eleven year old period of him. As

1384
01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:33,560
Speaker 1: Ivonne said, all of the stories Cello are attempting to

1385
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:37,679
Speaker 1: tell with this particular project, They've committed to ten stories,

1386
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:41,599
Speaker 1: all told through the eyes of children. So we're passing

1387
01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:44,240
Speaker 1: the mic to kids to tell their own stories. Ava

1388
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:47,160
Speaker 1: told our own stories and now at Rihanna telling his

1389
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:49,120
Speaker 1: own story. Now you get to see him with his

1390
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:59,120
Speaker 1: mom at home having fun, but his friends, Donson and

1391
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:03,560
Speaker 1: most of we also want to you tough today to

1392
01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 1: relate to, you know, people that lived before so that

1393
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:10,560
Speaker 1: they can't say, oh, they really lived normal lives, so

1394
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:12,840
Speaker 1: I can't relate to that, you know, hanging out with friends,

1395
01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 1: going on sleep of us and he's actually talking like

1396
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:19,400
Speaker 1: he's doing his Instagram stories like I do today. But

1397
01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:20,880
Speaker 1: you get to see it all play out. And it

1398
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:23,479
Speaker 1: was hard because I knew what was going to happen. Yeah,

1399
01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:25,599
Speaker 1: you know, when they're like, do not talk to those people,

1400
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:28,479
Speaker 1: he told you, don't talk to those people, and yeah,

1401
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:33,599
Speaker 1: so I'm like, man, you know though, that's the hard part,

1402
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:36,160
Speaker 1: but the powerful part is at the end we tell

1403
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 1: how he was successful. So he was able to save

1404
01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:42,479
Speaker 1: enough money to buy his own freedom, right, and then

1405
01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 1: he did today what we would call crowdfunding, where he

1406
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:47,600
Speaker 1: went to people and gap money and self published his

1407
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 1: own book. To be popular, book had to do two runs.

1408
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 1: His book did nine. And then he used that that

1409
01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:57,960
Speaker 1: power that he garnered to help end slavery, which England

1410
01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 1: was had the highest slave trade industry at the time.

1411
01:12:01,280 --> 01:12:04,200
Speaker 1: He used the power that he got from self publishing,

1412
01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:07,680
Speaker 1: crowd finding his book to help enslavery. All right, when

1413
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:09,599
Speaker 1: we come back, we have more with doctor Kim Dulaney

1414
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:11,720
Speaker 1: and Ivan Benee for when we come back, it's the

1415
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,519
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, Good morning. Well, where can people watch just

1416
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:17,240
Speaker 1: so we can let them know how to find it? Okay,

1417
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 1: so for them, right, the full movie right now is

1418
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 1: on Instagram and it's um the handle is Equiano dot Stories,

1419
01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:34,479
Speaker 1: equi A and oh dot Stories. And like I mentioned before,

1420
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:37,160
Speaker 1: it's going to be We're going to start releasing it

1421
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:41,439
Speaker 1: on TikTok and they've agreed to put us on the

1422
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:45,639
Speaker 1: Discover page. So that's the you know, where's everything's trending,

1423
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:50,320
Speaker 1: where everything's happening and they're expanding. Yes, there their black Twitter.

1424
01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:54,080
Speaker 1: You know it was black Twitter month because and not Twitter,

1425
01:12:54,160 --> 01:13:00,719
Speaker 1: black TikTok. But they saw the project and so believe

1426
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:03,519
Speaker 1: in the project that they're extending that. Right. It is

1427
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:08,120
Speaker 1: amazing when I tell you just the story that you told,

1428
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:09,960
Speaker 1: and like you said, I mean, I knew that what

1429
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:12,200
Speaker 1: was about to happen, but I didn't know it was

1430
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 1: a real story. I love the way that it started.

1431
01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:17,560
Speaker 1: I love the fact that he was resilient overcame. Like

1432
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:20,120
Speaker 1: you said, it is like something to be proud of.

1433
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:22,640
Speaker 1: Thank you. You know. The other thing when the when

1434
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:24,680
Speaker 1: the story was told, it's so funny to me that

1435
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:27,479
Speaker 1: like when he's saying, are they going to eat us?

1436
01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 1: Remember when he said so when I was teaching, when

1437
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:33,280
Speaker 1: I first came across the story, you see all these

1438
01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 1: horrific slave movies or slave stories that we had to read, right,

1439
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:40,000
Speaker 1: and then I came across this story where he's saying,

1440
01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:42,600
Speaker 1: I didn't understand these people like we always washed our

1441
01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:46,719
Speaker 1: hands before we eat and then so it was funny

1442
01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:48,680
Speaker 1: to me that in a way he to not be

1443
01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:51,679
Speaker 1: in disrespectful, but he's staying, look, we're not the savage.

1444
01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 1: I washed our hand before that. Y'all doing bad stuff

1445
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:58,120
Speaker 1: to each other. I'm wondering, like, y'all gonna eat us?

1446
01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:00,599
Speaker 1: What's up? You know? I you know how kids talk,

1447
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:03,880
Speaker 1: They just you know, say what they feel. Yeah, Um,

1448
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:06,240
Speaker 1: can I just put in that during the filming of

1449
01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:11,679
Speaker 1: this movie, Um, we were four hundred custom crew. Wow,

1450
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:14,880
Speaker 1: from all walks of life. And at every point of

1451
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:18,920
Speaker 1: this the shooting of this film, everyone cried at some point.

1452
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:22,160
Speaker 1: It didn't working on it. They cried walking on it.

1453
01:14:22,439 --> 01:14:24,519
Speaker 1: It didn't matter whether you were the snake catch up

1454
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:27,840
Speaker 1: because we had snake catches. The village was built in

1455
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:30,320
Speaker 1: the middle of a forest, so every morning the snake

1456
01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:32,760
Speaker 1: catches will come around and check for snakes and things

1457
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:35,479
Speaker 1: like that. I wouldn't want that job. No, no, maybe

1458
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:39,680
Speaker 1: let me add to that. In Chicago, Yeah, man, I

1459
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:42,120
Speaker 1: would be like, help, you know, turn the camera off,

1460
01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:44,160
Speaker 1: give me a minute, you know, because it's too much.

1461
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:46,560
Speaker 1: It was too much at time when we have to

1462
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:50,040
Speaker 1: dig in and find a way to explain it. But

1463
01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:53,320
Speaker 1: we don't want you know, trauma point and re injury people.

1464
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:55,519
Speaker 1: So how but we got to absorb it and then

1465
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,000
Speaker 1: find a way to release it, you know, in a

1466
01:14:58,439 --> 01:15:01,840
Speaker 1: way that's respectable. But the Somber Museum in Chicago, we

1467
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 1: have a brand new exhibit that accompanies it. It's awesome.

1468
01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:11,439
Speaker 1: We have um pieces from our own collections. Uh. Danny

1469
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:15,519
Speaker 1: Dunson is a curative of that, and Brenda and Martin

1470
01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:19,599
Speaker 1: built that. It's absolutely awesome. So uh, if people are

1471
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:22,240
Speaker 1: in Chicago, come to Chicago, stop by and see that.

1472
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 1: It's a whole exhibits. It has what looks like a

1473
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:27,760
Speaker 1: phone on the wall and shows parts of the movie

1474
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:30,840
Speaker 1: on the wall in there with the artifacts that are

1475
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:33,479
Speaker 1: placed in there. Um, the film is best field on

1476
01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:36,200
Speaker 1: the phone on the cell phone because that way you

1477
01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:38,800
Speaker 1: get the real power of the filming of the phone.

1478
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:42,240
Speaker 1: Filias if you're in there with Brian, I'm experiencing wall,

1479
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:45,240
Speaker 1: what's he's experiencing and we want to watch the whole

1480
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:46,800
Speaker 1: thing at once. But it's hard to put your phone

1481
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:49,040
Speaker 1: down right right. But it is true that you can,

1482
01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:51,479
Speaker 1: like if you have other things to do, you can

1483
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:57,519
Speaker 1: do that and you can you can see that. Listen.

1484
01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:00,360
Speaker 1: Also his voice is it means the voice that echoes.

1485
01:16:00,439 --> 01:16:03,599
Speaker 1: So we want to thank you all today for passing

1486
01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:06,280

Speaker 1: All these years later again he wrote the book and

1489
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:16,120
Speaker 1: published in seventeen eighty nine, and all these years later

1490
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:20,000
Speaker 1: hear this story so relevant. You off like another movie

1491
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:22,400
Speaker 1: out of this. Well, we can't say, but somebody had

1492
01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:26,960
Speaker 1: somebody an option to do. Somebody very famous, Will Smith

1493
01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:29,160
Speaker 1: made the trailer for us. The trailer for the movie

1494
01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:34,080

1509
01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:35,680
Speaker 1: outside a club Amazon in nineteen ninety three, and that

1510
01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:40,240
Speaker 1: picture was from noted photographer Al Perreira and he posted

1511
01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:43,639
Speaker 1: that without permission or licensing the work. Here that picture

1512
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:47,679
Speaker 1: to his personal Instagram. Yeah, I mean I heard Snoop

1513
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:49,559
Speaker 1: talk about it yesterday. We have Snoops audio, so Snoop

1514
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:51,960
Speaker 1: was upset about it. And think about it like this.

1515
01:17:52,120 --> 01:17:53,800
Speaker 1: You take a picture, somebody takes a picture of you,

1516
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:56,800
Speaker 1: that's your likeness, that's your face. Post your own picture.

1517
01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:58,920
Speaker 1: That's an old hustle thal that they got me for

1518
01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:02,679
Speaker 1: that like years ago, Like I posted a picture somebody

1519
01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:05,920
Speaker 1: took on my Instagram page on or maybe it was

1520
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:09,479
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club that posted it. Whoever posted it, they definitely

1521
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:13,000
Speaker 1: hit up on Instagram. Yeah. Yeah, this is where not

1522
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:15,599
Speaker 1: supposed to the picture on Instagram didn't get and he's

1523
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:17,519
Speaker 1: in the picture he didn't get. Now you don't get

1524
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:21,960
Speaker 1: paid for it, paid for now paid No, No, it's

1525
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:24,880
Speaker 1: just on Instagram. And now even like when I heard

1526
01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:27,479
Speaker 1: post stuff, they won't post any pictures that they haven't

1527
01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 1: either license to use or they don't have exclusive use

1528
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:32,880
Speaker 1: for it, probably because when they hit me, yeah, and

1529
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:35,320
Speaker 1: they had to pay for that. But it's not just them,

1530
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:37,559
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a lot like they can't post anything.

1531
01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:40,360
Speaker 1: It's an old hustle photographer has been doing. They got

1532
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:43,320
Speaker 1: to stop that, you know. But it's it's hard because

1533
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:44,960
Speaker 1: they can have a picture of you, you don't have

1534
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 1: to sign anything, and they own that picture of you

1535
01:18:48,479 --> 01:18:50,400
Speaker 1: and then they can do whatever they want with it.

1536
01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:53,280
Speaker 1: And this same photographer is the same one who sued uh.

1537
01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:55,960
Speaker 1: I think it was Kylie and Kendall Jenner for using

1538
01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:58,760
Speaker 1: photographs he took of Tupac and Biggie as part of

1539
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:01,240
Speaker 1: a clothing line. Now you can't do that, you know,

1540
01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:03,479
Speaker 1: which I understand, but I also feel like that should

1541
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:07,000
Speaker 1: more go to the family too. All right now, Keisha

1542
01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:11,400
Speaker 1: Cole is on tv ones Uncensored, and one story she's

1543
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:15,320
Speaker 1: talking about is actually being good friends with Eve, but

1544
01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:17,680
Speaker 1: Eve stopped hanging out with her. Here's what happened. It

1545
01:19:17,800 --> 01:19:20,880
Speaker 1: took a long time to learn to not put my

1546
01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 1: hands on people. It was a thing that happened with

1547
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:25,840
Speaker 1: Eve that you know, we're walking out and somebody grabbed

1548
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:28,360
Speaker 1: her bag or something like that, and you know, I

1549
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:30,320
Speaker 1: just kind of turned around to slap the girl. You know,

1550
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:31,760
Speaker 1: it's like, girl, what are you doing? You know what

1551
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying? Like period, like back up? You know, and

1552
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:38,040
Speaker 1: Eve is really pissed off about that, like we stopped

1553
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:40,960
Speaker 1: hanging out. Like she was like I can't hang with Keisha,

1554
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:43,439
Speaker 1: Like she can't be slapping people. I was like, wait,

1555
01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:46,600
Speaker 1: I slap somebody for you the post, but I just,

1556
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:49,040
Speaker 1: you know, I should have left that to security. Somebody

1557
01:19:49,080 --> 01:19:52,360
Speaker 1: couns paid for that, you know what I mean. I

1558
01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:54,759
Speaker 1: think we all learned that though. Hey man, I appreciate

1559
01:19:54,800 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 1: all my friends that are willing to put hands on

1560
01:19:56,360 --> 01:19:58,559
Speaker 1: people from me. All right, male and female. All right,

1561
01:19:58,600 --> 01:20:01,320
Speaker 1: we'll figure it out later. No, No, that was early on.

1562
01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:03,400
Speaker 1: Now that doesn't work like that. We'll figure it out

1563
01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:05,160
Speaker 1: because guess what, even if it's your security, you're still

1564
01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:07,640
Speaker 1: gonna get held liable. Regardless if it's your security and

1565
01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:09,839
Speaker 1: you walking and somebody does you something, just because security

1566
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:11,400
Speaker 1: puts hands on the person, don't make you anymore or

1567
01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:14,200
Speaker 1: Less liecurity, trying to de escalate the problem most times.

1568
01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:16,800
Speaker 1: But you know, we all had that one friend that

1569
01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:19,040
Speaker 1: a swing first and usually get you in trouble. Got

1570
01:20:19,080 --> 01:20:22,439
Speaker 1: me in trouble many times in this era. Somebody reaching

1571
01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:25,120
Speaker 1: for a pocketbook, that's my pocketbook, and in this ere

1572
01:20:25,120 --> 01:20:26,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're trying to rob me or not.

1573
01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:28,639
Speaker 1: I don't have time to de escalate. I'm gonna put

1574
01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:30,680
Speaker 1: you in your face, slow things down. You better not

1575
01:20:32,120 --> 01:20:34,120
Speaker 1: get snatching that and you run off. Used to ask

1576
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:36,519
Speaker 1: my person soon. All right, Now, let's talk about Skip

1577
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:41,680
Speaker 1: Bayless versus Nina and Russell Westbrook. Now, Skip Bayless and

1578
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:44,880
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook clearly don't have the best relationship. Now, Skip

1579
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:47,640
Speaker 1: Bayless was talking about the time when he actually had

1580
01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:50,360
Speaker 1: to hire security to go back to his own hometown.

1581
01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:54,679
Speaker 1: As we rolled toward those finals, death threats from thunder

1582
01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:59,800
Speaker 1: fans in my hometown of Oklahoma City, real live, hardcore

1583
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:04,000
Speaker 1: death threats, I thought, legitimate death threats, but I passed

1584
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:07,040
Speaker 1: them along to ESP and security, who came back to me. Yep,

1585
01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 1: legit need to be taken seriously. So as we are

1586
01:21:13,360 --> 01:21:17,760
Speaker 1: about to venture to Oklahoma City, my hometown, they had

1587
01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:23,559
Speaker 1: to hire me a bodyguard. A bodyguard. Now, Russell Westbrook's wife,

1588
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:27,240
Speaker 1: Nina Westbrook is saying that she and her family have

1589
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 1: been subjected to death wishes. She said, if you're a

1590
01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:32,280
Speaker 1: public figure, you have to be responsible for the type

1591
01:21:32,280 --> 01:21:34,960
Speaker 1: of example you set. Unfortunately, you must keep in mind

1592
01:21:35,040 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 1: the consequences of your behavior. When I'm being harrassed on

1593
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:40,960
Speaker 1: a daily basis over basketball games and I'm having obscenities

1594
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:43,600
Speaker 1: and death wishes from me and my family sent my

1595
01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:46,720
Speaker 1: way because you're expressing your quote truth. It's hard for

1596
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:48,439
Speaker 1: me to get on board with that. And that's all

1597
01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:51,760
Speaker 1: because Skip Bayliss always has a lot to say about

1598
01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:55,280
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook. And here's a compilation of some of those things. Well,

1599
01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:58,560
Speaker 1: you're stuck with Russell Westbridge. We are Skip. What you

1600
01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:00,920
Speaker 1: want me to do about that? I could we just

1601
01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:06,040
Speaker 1: display the magnitude of the ten turnovers by running through

1602
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:10,200
Speaker 1: them quickly. This is Russell Westbrook on display last night,

1603
01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:14,160
Speaker 1: turning the basket. That's just crazy. Bron James still has

1604
01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:17,040
Speaker 1: one big fly in his soup, one big fly. And

1605
01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:20,800
Speaker 1: I first guess this. I don't think you can overcome

1606
01:22:21,120 --> 01:22:25,479
Speaker 1: Russell west Brick. He is completely out of control, and

1607
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:28,920
Speaker 1: of course he west bricked the free throw. I'm a

1608
01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:30,640
Speaker 1: man that he called him a big ass fly and

1609
01:22:30,760 --> 01:22:34,240
Speaker 1: somebody's soup. But you know, I get what Russell was

1610
01:22:34,280 --> 01:22:36,320
Speaker 1: saying about his last name. He's very upset about that,

1611
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:38,920
Speaker 1: but that's how fans are. They love you when you're bawling.

1612
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:40,680
Speaker 1: They slandering you when you're down. And the only thing

1613
01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:44,000
Speaker 1: that changes the name west Brick is if Russell Westbrooks

1614
01:22:44,040 --> 01:22:47,560
Speaker 1: starts bawling. Well, Russell Westbrook's wife, Nina Westbrook, goes on

1615
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:48,800
Speaker 1: and say, I don't do the things I do to

1616
01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:51,160
Speaker 1: receive attention to get clicks of a show. This is

1617
01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:53,400
Speaker 1: not a game to me. Basketball a game is a game.

1618
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:55,960
Speaker 1: This is my life, my children's lives, in my family's life.

1619
01:22:56,320 --> 01:23:00,040
Speaker 1: Shaming anyone for any reason is never the answer. And

1620
01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:02,200
Speaker 1: my hope is that the amazing and talented players that

1621
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:04,640
Speaker 1: come after him don't have to be subjected to this

1622
01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:07,679
Speaker 1: type of shaming, name calling, in public scrutiny for playing

1623
01:23:07,720 --> 01:23:10,240
Speaker 1: the game that they love. And Russell Westbrook also spoke

1624
01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:12,720
Speaker 1: about this in a press conference. Here's what he has

1625
01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:16,320
Speaker 1: to say about his wife. You know, one hundred percent

1626
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:19,840
Speaker 1: stand behind my wife. And she's feeling because, um, it's

1627
01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:23,800
Speaker 1: not just about this year. Um. Right now, she's reached

1628
01:23:23,800 --> 01:23:27,040
Speaker 1: a point. Um, and my family has reached a point

1629
01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:29,960
Speaker 1: to where it's really weighing on them. Um. And it's

1630
01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:34,960
Speaker 1: very unfortunate just for me personally, because um, this is

1631
01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:39,240
Speaker 1: just a game. The moment it becomes where you you know,

1632
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:43,360
Speaker 1: my name is getting shamed, um, it becomes an issue.

1633
01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:46,040
Speaker 1: The only reason the name is getting shamed though, it

1634
01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:49,080
Speaker 1: is because of Russell Westbrook's play. The only thing that's

1635
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:50,960
Speaker 1: going to change this is your play on the court.

1636
01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:54,559
Speaker 1: You're not gonna stop fans from slandering you when they're

1637
01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:57,000
Speaker 1: upset that you're not bawling for their for their team.

1638
01:23:57,400 --> 01:23:59,680
Speaker 1: It's just not gonna happen. Everybody gets you think you think,

1639
01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:02,920
Speaker 1: let me getting into the beginning of time, Like every

1640
01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:06,320
Speaker 1: player in every sport gets slanted like this when they're

1641
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:08,680
Speaker 1: not performing. So the only thing that's gonna change that

1642
01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:11,720
Speaker 1: as your play. All right, Well, that is your room

Speaker 1: ton man. That's got to be a dangerous, dangerous job

1657
01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:56,679
Speaker 1: for you. They gotta hate you, oh, one hundred percent,

1658
01:24:56,800 --> 01:24:58,280
Speaker 1: they hate man. I mean a matter of fact. Just

1659
01:24:58,520 --> 01:25:01,760
Speaker 1: on Monday night, Sheriff of Los Angeles County died an

1660
01:25:01,840 --> 01:25:04,519
Speaker 1: hour long radio show where he just spent an hour

1661
01:25:04,720 --> 01:25:07,320
Speaker 1: bashing me and threatening me. That's not the first time

1662
01:25:07,360 --> 01:25:09,919
Speaker 1: that happened. He actually threatened to post my home address

1663
01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:14,280
Speaker 1: on sheriff. Yes, that is crazy. It's it's crazy. And

1664
01:25:14,400 --> 01:25:18,360
Speaker 1: so did people support this sheriff initially? Yes, Initially he

1665
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:23,200
Speaker 1: campaigned as a progressive and he was able to get

1666
01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:27,000
Speaker 1: the support of the Los Angeles County Democrats. But once

1667
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:31,360
Speaker 1: he got into power, he's started doing all kinds of frankly,

1668
01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:36,000
Speaker 1: really bad things. We've seen an increase of deputies killing

1669
01:25:36,160 --> 01:25:39,320
Speaker 1: civilians since our sheriff has been elected, as well as

1670
01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:43,759
Speaker 1: an increase of deaths inside the jails. And our sheriff

1671
01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:47,400
Speaker 1: he really thinks that this is okay. He said twice

1672
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:52,280
Speaker 1: now that every police shooting across the United States is justified.

1673
01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:57,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure somebody asked why when he said that to

1674
01:25:57,200 --> 01:26:01,000
Speaker 1: what was his reasoning, Well, he doesn't really give a reason.

1675
01:26:01,240 --> 01:26:03,599
Speaker 1: He's very much of the belief that the police are

1676
01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:06,680
Speaker 1: just justified in anything they do, whether that's shooting an

1677
01:26:06,760 --> 01:26:10,200
Speaker 1: unarmed black man thirty three times like they did Frederick Holder,

1678
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:15,120
Speaker 1: or sitting by while someone like Gilanni Lovett overdoses in

1679
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:18,560
Speaker 1: a solitary cell in jail. And you know series, And

1680
01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:22,080
Speaker 1: just to bring it back to how series actually came up,

1681
01:26:22,479 --> 01:26:24,600
Speaker 1: we were talking about one of our listeners called in

1682
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:26,439
Speaker 1: about Fedwick Holder and it was a case that we

1683
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:29,000
Speaker 1: hadn't even heard about, which is a shame because there's

1684
01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:31,519
Speaker 1: so many things that happened that go under the radar,

1685
01:26:31,640 --> 01:26:33,800
Speaker 1: because there's so many things that happen, and I don't

1686
01:26:33,800 --> 01:26:36,080
Speaker 1: want us to ever get numb to what goes on.

1687
01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:38,080
Speaker 1: But like you said, he was an unarmed black man

1688
01:26:38,600 --> 01:26:40,960
Speaker 1: on the highway. He was shot thirty three times. They

1689
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:43,720
Speaker 1: shot at him thirty three times. He was hit seventeen

1690
01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:46,880
Speaker 1: times by gunfire. He was shot almost that point blank

1691
01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:49,920
Speaker 1: range with an assault rifle. There are pictures of his

1692
01:26:50,040 --> 01:26:53,080
Speaker 1: autopsy that you can see, and they have actually shot

1693
01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:56,160
Speaker 1: his mouth off. The deputies that did this to him

1694
01:26:56,280 --> 01:26:59,880
Speaker 1: are still on patrol. They have not been disciplined at all.

1695
01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:02,400
Speaker 1: And that's the case in so many of these shootings.

1696
01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:04,799
Speaker 1: Just this year. It's only March, right, the Los Angeles

1697
01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:08,519
Speaker 1: County Sheriff's Department has already killed four civilians this year.

1698
01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:10,160
Speaker 1: I was going to ask what got you into this?

1699
01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:12,160
Speaker 1: Was it something that was affected your family or were

1700
01:27:12,160 --> 01:27:14,120
Speaker 1: you tied to seeing something with television? What got you

1701
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:16,680
Speaker 1: working so hard on this? Well, I grew up in

1702
01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:20,720
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. I've always known about sheriff's gangs growing up.

1703
01:27:20,760 --> 01:27:24,080
Speaker 1: I would hear it from my friends, my teachers, my mom.

1704
01:27:24,439 --> 01:27:27,080
Speaker 1: They would always tell me, YO, be careful because these

1705
01:27:27,160 --> 01:27:29,400
Speaker 1: police out here are in gangs. Watch out for the

1706
01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:32,040
Speaker 1: white ones with the bald heads. Those are probably Vikings.

1707
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:35,360
Speaker 1: And it was something that always interested me. And I've

1708
01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:37,000
Speaker 1: always been a bit of a nerde you know. I

1709
01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:40,080
Speaker 1: go to the library. I love to read books, so yeah,

1710
01:27:40,240 --> 01:27:42,240
Speaker 1: you know, so I'd always be going and trying to

1711
01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:44,840
Speaker 1: find out who these gangs are, what are they doing,

1712
01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:47,880
Speaker 1: and what do they want? But there really wasn't anything there.

1713
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:50,880
Speaker 1: There weren't too many newspaper articles, and there definitely wasn't

1714
01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:53,880
Speaker 1: any books. So fast forward to twenty twenty. I was

1715
01:27:53,920 --> 01:27:56,960
Speaker 1: working at a local radio station and I was out

1716
01:27:57,040 --> 01:27:59,519
Speaker 1: in the streets covering the protest that had erupted and

1717
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:02,639
Speaker 1: respond to the murder of George Floyd. And while doing

1718
01:28:02,720 --> 01:28:04,960
Speaker 1: my job, I was actually shot with a less lethal

1719
01:28:05,120 --> 01:28:09,479
Speaker 1: munition by a police officer. Really yeah, rubber bullet straight

1720
01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:12,280
Speaker 1: on my arm and the resulting injuries. I fell down

1721
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:14,320
Speaker 1: and hurt myself pretty bad and I had to be

1722
01:28:14,400 --> 01:28:16,920
Speaker 1: on bedrest for six months. I couldn't get up, I

1723
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:19,640
Speaker 1: couldn't walk, I was in a cast on crushes. But

1724
01:28:19,760 --> 01:28:21,880
Speaker 1: I didn't want to just sit back and rest because

1725
01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:23,720
Speaker 1: we were in a moment, and I think we're still

1726
01:28:23,880 --> 01:28:26,360
Speaker 1: very much in this moment. I wanted to make sure

1727
01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:31,440
Speaker 1: that I was doing something to contribute and to raise awareness.

1728
01:28:31,760 --> 01:28:34,120
Speaker 1: So I thought to myself, you know what, I should

1729
01:28:34,160 --> 01:28:37,080
Speaker 1: start researching those deputy gangs. A couple of days after

1730
01:28:37,240 --> 01:28:39,880
Speaker 1: I got shot, an eighteen year old by the name

1731
01:28:39,920 --> 01:28:44,599
Speaker 1: of Andres Guardado was killed by two alleged deputy gang

1732
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:47,439
Speaker 1: members in the gang called the Executioners, And it came

1733
01:28:47,479 --> 01:28:50,080
Speaker 1: out pretty quickly that the two deputies that shot him

1734
01:28:50,160 --> 01:28:52,360
Speaker 1: were alleged gang members trying to get into the gang,

1735
01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:53,960
Speaker 1: because that's how you get in. You get in by

1736
01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:57,000
Speaker 1: killing a civilian. So a cop gets into a gang,

1737
01:28:57,520 --> 01:29:01,240
Speaker 1: a cap gang allegedly by killing a billion that's correct. Wow,

1738
01:29:01,320 --> 01:29:04,120
Speaker 1: this is so interesting to me because people already look

1739
01:29:04,160 --> 01:29:06,880
Speaker 1: at the police as a gang like in general, right,

1740
01:29:06,960 --> 01:29:10,720
Speaker 1: but to note that there's subsidiaries inside of the police force.

1741
01:29:10,800 --> 01:29:12,960
Speaker 1: What do the actual police say about this when y'all

1742
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:15,240
Speaker 1: bring this to the police's attention and you say there's

1743
01:29:15,280 --> 01:29:18,120
Speaker 1: deputy gangs, what did they say? Well, the sheriff of

1744
01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:20,840
Speaker 1: Los Angeles County, he said multiple times that I made

1745
01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:23,240
Speaker 1: this all up just to get rich. I have not

1746
01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:25,559
Speaker 1: gotten rich off of this. If anything, this has put

1747
01:29:25,600 --> 01:29:29,280
Speaker 1: a target on my back. Yeah, and the benefit right,

1748
01:29:29,640 --> 01:29:32,800
Speaker 1: really for you personally, No, I mean that's that's I mean,

1749
01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:36,960
Speaker 1: Eric Alexander, you come highly recommended. You know. She was like,

1750
01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:39,040
Speaker 1: you gotta have Shariso on the show. But she was

1751
01:29:39,080 --> 01:29:42,519
Speaker 1: saying because they want to increase the profile, because you

1752
01:29:42,600 --> 01:29:45,400
Speaker 1: haven't become a target. I have. Yes, the sheriff has

1753
01:29:45,479 --> 01:29:49,240
Speaker 1: spoken about me multiple times in many press conferences. They

1754
01:29:49,320 --> 01:29:51,960
Speaker 1: also attempted to arrest me at a press conference that

1755
01:29:52,040 --> 01:29:55,599
Speaker 1: I attended. Um just two weeks after I finished publishing

1756
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:58,680
Speaker 1: the series detailing the Deputy Gangs, I went to a

1757
01:29:58,760 --> 01:30:02,080
Speaker 1: press conference hosted by the Sheriff's apartment and I was

1758
01:30:02,120 --> 01:30:05,000
Speaker 1: there probably for ten minutes, and I was surrounded by sheriffs.

1759
01:30:05,040 --> 01:30:07,200
Speaker 1: They tried to drag me behind the Hall of Justice

1760
01:30:07,439 --> 01:30:10,760
Speaker 1: and I don't know what what what was the charge? Well,

1761
01:30:10,840 --> 01:30:12,840
Speaker 1: they didn't say nothing. Do you think that the more

1762
01:30:12,880 --> 01:30:15,720
Speaker 1: you put your face I did, the safer and I'm

1763
01:30:15,760 --> 01:30:18,400
Speaker 1: putting safer and quotated to safer, you become I think so,

1764
01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:21,719
Speaker 1: I think keeping the profile high and you know, letting

1765
01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:23,760
Speaker 1: them know that I'm going to keep talking about this.

1766
01:30:24,040 --> 01:30:26,559
Speaker 1: Nothing is gonna shut me up. We'll keep me safe.

1767
01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:29,080
Speaker 1: Now for people who want to read about this you did?

1768
01:30:29,400 --> 01:30:33,800
Speaker 1: Is it a five part? Fifteen part? It's long, but

1769
01:30:34,439 --> 01:30:37,000
Speaker 1: it's worth the read, and it just goes to show

1770
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:39,519
Speaker 1: that this has been going on for so long. These

1771
01:30:39,600 --> 01:30:41,920
Speaker 1: deputy gangs have been around in Los Angeles for at

1772
01:30:42,040 --> 01:30:45,040
Speaker 1: least fifty years, and I'm the first person to chronicle

1773
01:30:45,160 --> 01:30:47,120
Speaker 1: this history. This is stuff that they don't want you

1774
01:30:47,240 --> 01:30:49,920
Speaker 1: to know, but this is stuff that everyone in Los

1775
01:30:49,960 --> 01:30:52,600
Speaker 1: Angeles and even outside of Los Angeles you need to know,

1776
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:56,000
Speaker 1: because these deputy gangs, they don't play. We're still talking

1777
01:30:56,040 --> 01:30:58,600
Speaker 1: with Cerre's Castle. She's a crown fighting journalist out of

1778
01:30:58,720 --> 01:31:01,040
Speaker 1: LA She's telling us about the games inside the police

1779
01:31:01,040 --> 01:31:06,760
Speaker 1: department and we'll talk to him when we come back.

1780
01:31:06,920 --> 01:31:10,320
Speaker 1: Is the Breakfast Club, Good morning morning, everybody is DJ

1781
01:31:10,840 --> 01:31:14,120
Speaker 1: Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy We are to Breakfast Club.

1782
01:31:14,120 --> 01:31:17,000
Speaker 1: We're still talking with Sas Castle. She's a crime fighting

1783
01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:22,120
Speaker 1: journalist and we were just asking her about how difficult

1784
01:31:22,160 --> 01:31:25,040
Speaker 1: it was to talk to members about the police gang. Yeah,

1785
01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:27,120
Speaker 1: what do people want to talk on the record? Were

1786
01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:29,639
Speaker 1: they willing to do that or were they very nervous

1787
01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:32,880
Speaker 1: off the record? Yeah, So I got a couple of

1788
01:31:33,240 --> 01:31:36,040
Speaker 1: deputies that spoke to me off the record or on

1789
01:31:36,240 --> 01:31:38,720
Speaker 1: deep background. But for the most part, yeah, they are.

1790
01:31:38,880 --> 01:31:40,519
Speaker 1: Most of them are really scared to go on the

1791
01:31:40,600 --> 01:31:44,920
Speaker 1: record because they get threatened. They get death threats about

1792
01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:47,400
Speaker 1: other police officers, other police officers that want to speak

1793
01:31:47,439 --> 01:31:49,760
Speaker 1: out about what these deputy gangs are doing and the

1794
01:31:49,840 --> 01:31:52,400
Speaker 1: control that they have in the department. They get targeted too.

1795
01:31:52,880 --> 01:31:55,840
Speaker 1: One of my sources had a headless rat placed on

1796
01:31:56,000 --> 01:32:00,320
Speaker 1: his car. Yeah, Now, what's the what proofed do you have?

1797
01:32:00,640 --> 01:32:03,920
Speaker 1: Charis that these deputy gangs exist? You know what I mean?

1798
01:32:04,080 --> 01:32:06,880
Speaker 1: Are you when you make claims that they kill a

1799
01:32:06,920 --> 01:32:08,880
Speaker 1: civilian to get into the game as a big claim?

1800
01:32:09,240 --> 01:32:11,320
Speaker 1: So what proof do you do you have? Well, I've

1801
01:32:11,360 --> 01:32:14,800
Speaker 1: got photos of hundreds of tattoos that these deputy gang

1802
01:32:14,840 --> 01:32:18,400
Speaker 1: members have. They're all numbered, they have different designs, and

1803
01:32:19,080 --> 01:32:22,600
Speaker 1: as their police career goes on and they hurt or

1804
01:32:23,280 --> 01:32:25,920
Speaker 1: kill more civilians, you can see in the photos how

1805
01:32:25,960 --> 01:32:28,360
Speaker 1: the tattoo changes. Maybe a bullet is added to the

1806
01:32:28,479 --> 01:32:31,080
Speaker 1: chamber of a gun that the skeleton of the executioner

1807
01:32:31,200 --> 01:32:34,160
Speaker 1: is holding. Also, there's a lot of litigation, right, That's

1808
01:32:34,160 --> 01:32:36,519
Speaker 1: how I found out all this stuff. Los Angeles County

1809
01:32:36,560 --> 01:32:40,479
Speaker 1: actually tracks every case that is brought to the county

1810
01:32:41,320 --> 01:32:45,280
Speaker 1: that mentions deputy gangs. So, for example, Undress Guardato his

1811
01:32:45,439 --> 01:32:49,400
Speaker 1: family brought a claim saying, yo, your deputy gangs, you know,

1812
01:32:49,560 --> 01:32:53,120
Speaker 1: killed our son, and the county actually tracks that. They

1813
01:32:53,160 --> 01:32:56,200
Speaker 1: have a spreadsheet of all these cases. It's like sixty

1814
01:32:56,560 --> 01:33:00,439
Speaker 1: so they know that this is happening, but no meaningful

1815
01:33:00,439 --> 01:33:03,160
Speaker 1: action or policy change has been made. But they have

1816
01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:08,000
Speaker 1: been lost. Tamataz this quest about one hundred million dollars

1817
01:33:08,120 --> 01:33:10,240
Speaker 1: and that doesn't come out of the sheriff's department either.

1818
01:33:10,479 --> 01:33:13,960
Speaker 1: That comes from taxpayers. Right, So they're just white gangs

1819
01:33:14,040 --> 01:33:16,240
Speaker 1: or the black gangs or the Mexican or the Latino

1820
01:33:16,280 --> 01:33:19,479
Speaker 1: or like or is it just primary white gangs? So

1821
01:33:19,880 --> 01:33:24,440
Speaker 1: all of the gangs have white supremacist themes and underleanings.

1822
01:33:24,680 --> 01:33:29,560
Speaker 1: Definitely they are. There are some only Latino gangs. For

1823
01:33:29,680 --> 01:33:31,840
Speaker 1: the most part, they do not allow black people to join.

1824
01:33:31,920 --> 01:33:34,080
Speaker 1: They do not allow women to join. There are some

1825
01:33:34,240 --> 01:33:37,760
Speaker 1: exceptions and what they'll do if you're black, Um, maybe

1826
01:33:37,800 --> 01:33:40,360
Speaker 1: they'll change the tattoo a little bit. For example, the Vikings,

1827
01:33:40,439 --> 01:33:42,360
Speaker 1: they had a Viking tattoo, but if you were black,

1828
01:33:42,680 --> 01:33:45,000
Speaker 1: instead of two horns, pointing up on the helmet, they

1829
01:33:45,040 --> 01:33:47,760
Speaker 1: would have one horn pointing down. Not really sure what

1830
01:33:47,880 --> 01:33:52,479
Speaker 1: that means, but there you go. The La County Sheriff

1831
01:33:52,520 --> 01:33:55,320
Speaker 1: Alex Villa in the wave. Yes, he's facing calls for

1832
01:33:55,439 --> 01:34:00,160
Speaker 1: impeachment from community organizations. Yes, what are the reasons? Well, well,

1833
01:34:00,439 --> 01:34:03,760
Speaker 1: he doesn't think anything is wrong with this. He has

1834
01:34:03,800 --> 01:34:06,719
Speaker 1: said both that deputy gangs don't exist, and he also

1835
01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:09,280
Speaker 1: says that he's the only person that has done anything

1836
01:34:09,320 --> 01:34:14,360
Speaker 1: about deputy gangs. Which one is it? Exactly? So that's

1837
01:34:14,439 --> 01:34:17,160
Speaker 1: that's it can't be the only reason they're impeaching them though, right, Yeah,

1838
01:34:17,240 --> 01:34:19,680
Speaker 1: well it's a big braason. Okay, okay, um, you know

1839
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:24,719
Speaker 1: he has not He supports deputies that you know, kill people,

1840
01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:27,120
Speaker 1: and as I mentioned at the top, we've seen a

1841
01:34:27,479 --> 01:34:31,519
Speaker 1: huge increase in civilians that are killed. Um, and he

1842
01:34:32,560 --> 01:34:35,360
Speaker 1: is fine with that. He supports these deputies. He doesn't

1843
01:34:35,400 --> 01:34:37,800
Speaker 1: discipline them, He allows them to continue to be on

1844
01:34:37,920 --> 01:34:40,560
Speaker 1: the street. If they do impeach to sheriff, who do

1845
01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:43,280
Speaker 1: you think is qualified to replace him and clean up

1846
01:34:43,280 --> 01:34:45,000
Speaker 1: such a corrupt system. I don't even know if that's

1847
01:34:45,640 --> 01:34:47,800
Speaker 1: a fire everybody. I don't know. If I don't know

1848
01:34:47,840 --> 01:34:49,559
Speaker 1: if that system can ever be cleaned up, I think

1849
01:34:49,560 --> 01:34:51,400
Speaker 1: it needs to be dismantled with. I don't people always

1850
01:34:51,400 --> 01:34:53,639
Speaker 1: say there's good cops, right, and there's just a few

1851
01:34:53,760 --> 01:34:56,960
Speaker 1: bad apples. But even with quote good cops, can you

1852
01:34:57,040 --> 01:34:59,880
Speaker 1: even exist within that system? No? Not in this system.

1853
01:35:00,040 --> 01:35:02,760
Speaker 1: I mean I've talked to a few good cops and

1854
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:05,479
Speaker 1: they've been pushed out because they tried to do the

1855
01:35:05,600 --> 01:35:08,559
Speaker 1: right thing. There somebody you think could replace them. Well,

1856
01:35:09,160 --> 01:35:11,160
Speaker 1: that's the interesting thing. We are in an election year

1857
01:35:11,200 --> 01:35:14,400
Speaker 1: this year in Los Angeles. We do have several candidates running.

1858
01:35:15,200 --> 01:35:18,120
Speaker 1: Interesting point is that more than half of the candidates

1859
01:35:18,240 --> 01:35:21,960
Speaker 1: that have entered the field are also affiliated with deputy gangs. Y,

1860
01:35:22,400 --> 01:35:25,120
Speaker 1: how do you get an internal investigation going? Because that's

1861
01:35:25,160 --> 01:35:28,559
Speaker 1: never happened either. You said it has not. No, it's

1862
01:35:29,320 --> 01:35:32,240
Speaker 1: And that's a great question. Angela Maxine Waters has sent

1863
01:35:32,400 --> 01:35:36,240
Speaker 1: multiple letters to the Department of Justice requesting a federal

1864
01:35:36,360 --> 01:35:39,599
Speaker 1: probe into this. We haven't heard anything back yet. Um,

1865
01:35:39,960 --> 01:35:44,040
Speaker 1: I'm steady hoping that the Fed show up because an emergency.

1866
01:35:44,280 --> 01:35:47,479
Speaker 1: It is an emergency. People are dying out here in

1867
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:54,320
Speaker 1: incredibly violent ways. The Feds could have internal gangs. You

1868
01:35:54,400 --> 01:35:56,840
Speaker 1: know what, I mean like, yeah, I mean that's a

1869
01:35:56,880 --> 01:36:00,320
Speaker 1: good point. The Feds did come and investigate the riff's

1870
01:36:00,320 --> 01:36:04,439
Speaker 1: apartment in twenty thirteen, I believe, and that actually resulted

1871
01:36:04,560 --> 01:36:07,040
Speaker 1: in our then sheriff and under sheriff, who is the

1872
01:36:07,160 --> 01:36:10,800
Speaker 1: number two going to federal prison? Who had back? Who

1873
01:36:10,840 --> 01:36:12,880
Speaker 1: who's the one that supports you and make sure that

1874
01:36:12,960 --> 01:36:14,760
Speaker 1: you're okay and at LA while you're running around and

1875
01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:18,160
Speaker 1: you're doing what's right. I have a great community, m

1876
01:36:19,120 --> 01:36:20,920
Speaker 1: Maxie Waters. I don't know if that was part of yet. Yeah,

1877
01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:26,640
Speaker 1: Maxie Waters is a great supporter. Ye gang. I'm not affiliated,

1878
01:36:28,160 --> 01:36:30,920
Speaker 1: but I have a good community. Um. You know, the

1879
01:36:31,080 --> 01:36:35,000
Speaker 1: families that have unfortunately lost loved ones at the hands

1880
01:36:35,160 --> 01:36:38,559
Speaker 1: of these deputy gangs are really great to me. They're

1881
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:41,680
Speaker 1: really thankful that I'm out here telling their stories. Um.

1882
01:36:41,800 --> 01:36:44,200
Speaker 1: I also want to shout out my girlfriend. She takes

1883
01:36:44,680 --> 01:36:47,280
Speaker 1: great care of me and she's been my rock through

1884
01:36:47,360 --> 01:36:49,960
Speaker 1: all of this. And yeah, I mean I really couldn't

1885
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:52,760
Speaker 1: do it without the community trusting me and you know,

1886
01:36:52,920 --> 01:36:55,080
Speaker 1: supporting me through this because it is tough. Now, how

1887
01:36:55,120 --> 01:36:57,479
Speaker 1: can people support you and make sure that they support

1888
01:36:57,560 --> 01:37:00,280
Speaker 1: what you're doing or even help if they can't yeah,

1889
01:37:00,280 --> 01:37:03,360
Speaker 1: I appreciate you asking. I would want everyone to check

1890
01:37:03,400 --> 01:37:06,920
Speaker 1: out the series. It's available at lasdgangs dot com. We

1891
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:09,240
Speaker 1: also have a database on there where you can actually

1892
01:37:09,360 --> 01:37:11,920
Speaker 1: look up and see all of the police, all of

1893
01:37:11,960 --> 01:37:14,840
Speaker 1: the sheriff's deputies. I should say that I have identified

1894
01:37:14,960 --> 01:37:18,320
Speaker 1: that are either full fledged members in these gangs or associates.

1895
01:37:18,760 --> 01:37:21,120
Speaker 1: You can follow me on Twitter, I'm at series Castle,

1896
01:37:21,200 --> 01:37:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm on Instagram, at your majesty. I would also implore

1897
01:37:24,479 --> 01:37:28,719
Speaker 1: all of the listeners to learn about qualified immunity because

1898
01:37:30,479 --> 01:37:32,920
Speaker 1: exactly that's what makes it so that when a police

1899
01:37:32,920 --> 01:37:36,000
Speaker 1: officer kills your loved one, they aren't responsible, you can't

1900
01:37:36,120 --> 01:37:39,160
Speaker 1: personally sue them or get you know, damages. And we

1901
01:37:39,280 --> 01:37:41,479
Speaker 1: also have to do something about the police officer Bill

1902
01:37:41,520 --> 01:37:44,400
Speaker 1: of Rights that makes it so when a police officer

1903
01:37:44,520 --> 01:37:46,720
Speaker 1: does something that could be your crime, they get to

1904
01:37:46,840 --> 01:37:50,479
Speaker 1: review all the evidence with the union representative and a

1905
01:37:50,600 --> 01:37:53,800
Speaker 1: lawyer while they're at work, and if the charges aren't

1906
01:37:53,840 --> 01:37:58,920
Speaker 1: filed in a year, they get to walk free. Yeah. Well, yeah,

1907
01:37:59,160 --> 01:38:01,800
Speaker 1: them actually take all this information. And I'm going to

1908
01:38:01,840 --> 01:38:06,360
Speaker 1: be doing a podcast on iHeartRadio called Traditional Violence. It's

1909
01:38:06,400 --> 01:38:09,880
Speaker 1: going to be all about these deputy gangs and going

1910
01:38:09,960 --> 01:38:12,400
Speaker 1: into a lot more detail. Well, thank you so much

1920
01:38:37,640 --> 01:38:40,519
