Speaker 1: You know you're unstoppable, right, I say all the time,
Speaker 1: how you can't fail if you don't quit. How if
Speaker 1: you fall down seven times, you're gonna get up eight
Speaker 1: and if you can look up, you can get up.
Speaker 1: And all of this made me think of this track
Speaker 1: via one of my favorite artists I can say. Her
Speaker 1: name is Corn Hawthorne, and she has this track entitled
Speaker 1: I'm Unstoppable. She says, they told me that you couldn't
Speaker 1: do it because you're washed up. Ain't like them bad girls,
Speaker 1: said you should get your saucer. But I got this plan,
Speaker 1: and you might not understand. I'm gonna go as hard
Speaker 1: as I can, and I'm gonna be the boss of it.
Speaker 1: You gotta understand that it's called your dream, your vision
Speaker 1: for a reason. Stop expecting people to see what it
Speaker 1: is in your heart. Stop expecting people to see the
Speaker 1: vision that you have for your life. She goes on
Speaker 1: to say, now I do believe I'm something special. Can't
Speaker 1: take that from me, So you can say what you want.
Speaker 1: I go harder, stronger, be who I'm supposed to be.
Speaker 1: Out of billions of people in this world, you were
Speaker 1: made uniquely you with your vision, with your gifts with
Speaker 1: your drive, made exactly how you're supposed to be. So
Speaker 1: why are you comparing your journey to somebody else that
Speaker 1: wasn't designed for you. Don't play with me, play with yourself.
Speaker 1: She goes on to say, because I'm unstoppable, I get
Speaker 1: it all the way in it. That's why I made
Speaker 1: and I'm up on my business because I'm unstoppable. Ain't
Speaker 1: no hope and in wishing, say your prayer, catch a wave.
Speaker 1: Then I go out and get it because I can
Speaker 1: be what I want. Try if I want powered by
Speaker 1: the king. He won't let me fall because I'm unstoppable.
Speaker 2: Nah.
Speaker 1: Nah, he won't let me fall because I'm unstoppable. You
Speaker 1: can't fail if you don't quit. Wait a minute, I'm
Speaker 1: not done yet, She continues on. I dream about it,
Speaker 1: I go get it. That's how I do it, not
Speaker 1: the stars. I'm not lucky. I just pray through it,
Speaker 1: follow on my face and I might make mistakes, but
Speaker 1: I don't let it break me because I'm still on
Speaker 1: my way. You better catch it. We here for a
Speaker 1: good time, not a long time, so let's make it count.

Speaker 1: some more serious news, specially before we get into the
Speaker 1: Vitamin D advice letter, and before I called my aunt
Speaker 1: to call in as to why she's voting for Trump.
Speaker 1: Did you hear about what's going on in these prisons.
Speaker 1: Did you hear about these inmates that are dying? They're
Speaker 1: getting sick? Pull up? So the inmate death investigated in
Speaker 1: the third incident and a Los Angeles mail jail in
Speaker 1: two days now. Homicide detectives were called to the Los
Speaker 1: Angeles mails Men's Central Jail yesterday that was on Wednesday,
Speaker 1: to investigate the death of an inmate, marking the third
Speaker 1: major incident at the facility in two days now. Deputies
Speaker 1: were notified shortly before seven thirty pm that an inmate
Speaker 1: at the jail on four hundred or four to forty one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right, Bouchett is it? Bouchett b a UCGT Street
Speaker 1: in Chinatown was found unresponsive, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's
Speaker 1: Department stated earlier Thursday morning. That's is today now. The
Speaker 1: unidentified inmate was later pronounced dead by personnel with the
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Fire Department. Now no the further details regarding
Speaker 1: the circumstances around the discovery were released. However, the cause
Speaker 1: of death will be determined by the Los Angeles County
Speaker 1: Medical Examiner's Office and the sheriffs. Stated by the Sheriff's Department. Now,
Speaker 1: emergency crews were called to the jail on two other occasions.
Speaker 1: Now this was just this past Tuesday regarding exposures to
Speaker 1: an unknown substance at the facility. Now, seven inmates were hospitalized,
Speaker 1: including one in critical condition and six in serious condition.
Speaker 1: Now when the fire apartment, that's when the fire department
Speaker 1: was called at seven am. Now, officials with the Sheriff's
Speaker 1: Department later referred to the situation as a suspected overdose incident.
Speaker 1: What does that mean? A hazmat team searched the facility
Speaker 1: following the incident, but found no additional patients at the time,
Speaker 1: and also determined there was no escalating hazard. Yet we
Speaker 1: got another individual that lost their life. The fire department
Speaker 1: was back at the jail the same afternoon when seven
Speaker 1: deputies were rushed to the nearby hospitals after exposure to
Speaker 1: the unknown substance. The deputies had been searching the inmates
Speaker 1: dorms to ensure that they were safe to repopulate when
Speaker 1: they started experiencing symptoms potentially related to today's earlier suspected overdose.
Speaker 1: And I quote that's what the news stated. Now, all
Speaker 1: seven deputies were conscious and instable condition when they were
Speaker 1: taken to the hospital as a precaution. This is by

Speaker 1: dai speaks dot com. Clear clear, okay subject. My parents
Speaker 1: are pissed that I'm not going to college, Dear Dawn.
Speaker 1: My parents just hit the ceiling when I told them
Speaker 1: that I wasn't going to college, Dawn. My mom hit
Speaker 1: the ceiling first, then my dad did too, right after
Speaker 1: my little sister moved her skateboard out of the way. Lord,
Speaker 1: thank you Jesus. But I see college, But I see
Speaker 1: college for the horrible and awful student loan debt trap
Speaker 1: that it is down. Over half the people out there
Speaker 1: where I'm at are working tables and delivering food are
Speaker 1: all college graduates. So how that helped me out? I mean,
Speaker 1: that's even That's even up with that? What's even up
Speaker 1: with that? Plus? I don't like school, Dawn, never did.
Speaker 1: I only went because the state and my father's black
Speaker 1: leather belt made me. Why did that make me?
Speaker 4: Laugh?
Speaker 1: But what I have been doing since my junior year
Speaker 1: is fixing cars down, and I'm really good at it
Speaker 1: and I love it. It's my real passion. So far,
Speaker 1: I've made forty five grand this year working just part
Speaker 1: time fixing up and restoring cars for low rider clubs
Speaker 1: and big money car shows with my uncle and Dawn.
Speaker 1: That's all in cash money. I bought and paid for
Speaker 1: my twenty twenty two racing truck with cash. I give
Speaker 1: my parents one thousand dollars each. Or I gave my
Speaker 1: parents a thousand dollars each in cash money. Oh. I
Speaker 1: give them a thousand dollars each in cash money every
Speaker 1: month to help them out. And I'm seventeen and I
Speaker 1: got sixteen grand in the bank. Plus my uncle is
Speaker 1: teaching me how to do payroll, how to do my taxes,
Speaker 1: and how to run his car repair and restoration shot
Speaker 1: for him. Uncle Nesto is so proud of me, and
Speaker 1: I love working with him. But my parents are still
Speaker 1: freaking out about not going to college. And I know
Speaker 1: my dad, Dawn, I can't stay up under his roof
Speaker 1: and not go to college. And I'm okay with that,
Speaker 1: but I'm not trying to break their hearts, and I'm
Speaker 1: trying not to waste their time and all of their
Speaker 1: hard own money on some dumb old college. But how
Speaker 1: can I get my parents to see that? Dawn sign
Speaker 1: Arturo Ramirez Junior in Bakersfield, California, you know. I'm all
Speaker 1: about that dreams don't work unless you do. I'm all
Speaker 1: about realizing that we're here for a good time, not
Speaker 1: a long time, and how we're gonna have to make account.
Speaker 1: I'm all about choosing the life that's best for you.
Speaker 1: So I say, young man, you're gonna have to do
Speaker 1: you the fact that the matter is not everybody gets
Speaker 1: equipped for college. And yes it's true, there are plenty
Speaker 1: of college graduates out there making probably below minium wage
Speaker 1: or probably just add it and jobs they don't like
Speaker 1: because half the time you still discovering what it is
Speaker 1: that you want. But don't take it for granted that
Speaker 1: you found your purpose. It's time for you to walk
Speaker 1: in it.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: See that you have a concern. You said, well, doing
Speaker 1: college is not for me. One, you got to live
Speaker 1: your life. Two you said you don't want to waste
Speaker 1: that money. Well, if you're making all this money, you
Speaker 1: can do it for yourself. Now. One of the advantages
Speaker 1: that can be going to college is that you could
Speaker 1: probably negotiate a higher wage. But you are a i
Speaker 1: want to say, a tradesman. You're working with your hands,
Speaker 1: so that is based on scale and in a society
Speaker 1: such as today, the trades is where it's at. We
Speaker 1: got Manual R High School right over here in Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: a school that is known for the trades. It is
Speaker 1: no secret that these blue collar jobs where people can
Speaker 1: make six figures. So why would you put yourself in
Speaker 1: a rap waste where you don't know your head from
Speaker 1: your tail. You are learning how to be your taxes,
Speaker 1: you are learning how to manage your business. You are
Speaker 1: learning how to take care of your business. So perhaps
Speaker 1: it's time for you to invest your money. Perhaps it's
Speaker 1: time for you to look at where you can buy
Speaker 1: a home.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: What's unfortunate is that when we talk about building as
Speaker 1: a society and as a community, especially with a Black community,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it's also nurtured that you save
Speaker 1: your money, get enough money for your house, and then
Speaker 1: move on. Some cultures will say, hey, stay right here
Speaker 1: until you get married, stay right here till you ready
Speaker 1: to buy. I find that oftentimes in the African American community,
Speaker 1: you get eighteen, it's like, oh, you get up and grown.
Speaker 1: Because you grown, you gotta get out. So my advice
Speaker 1: would you keep going after the dream as long as
Speaker 1: it's paying the bills, make sure you ta staying under
Speaker 1: your uncle Nesto, and learn everything you can about the business,
Speaker 1: invest in it, make your money grow, and keep doing
Speaker 1: what it is that you need to do. You realize
Speaker 1: that you can't live for anybody else but you, and
Speaker 1: we here for a good time, not a long time,
Speaker 1: so we gonna make it count. Okay, are we clear?
Speaker 1: Anybody want to comment on that letter? All right? Hold
Speaker 1: on now, so, miss Felicia, because I'm about to call
Speaker 1: my aunt Jeanie. She said, Dawn, it was this the
Speaker 1: aunt that I met at the Madison Square Garden rally.
Speaker 1: Which one was that? I'm not sure what Riley? That
Speaker 1: was the Madison Square. No, the only aunt that's came
Speaker 1: out here so far is my aunt Brenda uh down
Speaker 1: down in Alabama. Yeah, that was the only aunt. All right, y'all.
Speaker 1: I told her I was gonna call her.
Speaker 7: What is it?
Speaker 1: A twenty?
Speaker 2: I told her.
Speaker 1: I said, well, a twenty on the East coast. Let's
Speaker 1: see what she got to say. Lord, have mercy, be
Speaker 1: easy on my aunt, child, I said, be easy like
Speaker 1: Sunday morning.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I told her, I said, listen, I'm gonna call you.
Speaker 1: I can't even understand why she not a Hello, Hello
Speaker 1: you you own we all?
Speaker 2: Huh?
Speaker 1: I said, we both on? Oh I told you a
Speaker 1: twenty I forgot. I'm sorry, Anson.

Speaker 1: How you doing?
Speaker 4: I'm doing fine. Back, it's so good.
Speaker 1: We hear this. We hear a little Brazil in the background.
Speaker 1: I said, I'm so glad I hear a little Brazil
Speaker 1: in the background, because you know, I think when we
Speaker 1: talk about looking at our young people that you know,
Speaker 1: who you're voting for could possibly impact her life. Now,
Speaker 1: is this somewhere you can go where it's a little
Speaker 1: less noise?
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I can't hear you.
Speaker 1: Can you go somewhere where it's less noise? Can you
Speaker 1: hear me?
Speaker 8: Now?
Speaker 1: Do you really have me online? You are on live? Yes, Gennie.
Speaker 1: We let's get with the conversation. What you thought it
Speaker 1: was a game? So wait, Gennie, why are you calling
Speaker 1: me back? We're live, We're waiting on to talk to you.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, I'll have to call you right back back
Speaker 4: gap something.
Speaker 2: Going on right now?
Speaker 1: What time do you want me to call you back in?
Speaker 4: How long are you going to be on?
Speaker 9: Well?
Speaker 1: The conversation is geared to you, so we're on right now?
Speaker 1: To talk about it. Oh my goodness. Yeah, yeah, because
Speaker 1: we wanted to share why you're voting for Trump. The
Speaker 1: election is happening on Tuesday. I have been teasing and
Speaker 1: so listening this entire show about how you're coming up
Speaker 1: next and why you are voting for Trump. Okay, so
Speaker 1: real quick, tell us you said that. Tell us a
Speaker 1: little bit about you. You Fromkie Troy. What year were
Speaker 1: you born in Igenie? Okay? All right, well there's you
Speaker 1: have a guest. She says she got a call back,
Speaker 1: so I'm sorry for that news. What can we say
Speaker 1: anybody out there really quickly, Let's share some views and
Speaker 1: let's get the conversation going until she calls back. Anybody
Speaker 1: out there that has already voted or is gearing up
Speaker 1: to vote, I want you to call me in the
Speaker 1: studio right now, and I just want you to share
Speaker 1: your thoughts right now as to what do you have
Speaker 1: to say for any individuals out there who are a
Speaker 1: person of color, or even a woman, or just in general,
Speaker 1: because at this point, I don't know if it's directed
Speaker 1: to a certain group of people as to why they
Speaker 1: should vote for Trump or shouldn't. Let's just talk about
Speaker 1: the overall basis, I would love for you to call
Speaker 1: in right now and share with me why you are
Speaker 1: not voting for Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris. Can
Speaker 1: you call me right now? I'd love to hear from you.
Speaker 1: Don't leave me out here dry, y'all.
Speaker 7: Call me.
Speaker 1: I was really pumped up about it because Ellen and
Speaker 1: I had a very good conversation. In fact, El should
Speaker 1: I call you? Let me call al Castro right now,
Speaker 1: because she definitely was passionate about the whole idea. She
Speaker 1: even said, dawn every time around this time, my nerves
Speaker 1: get shot. Hello, Hey, hey, I had to call you
Speaker 1: first because I don't know what happened. But now my
Speaker 1: aunt Jay's just like, I'm not ready. I gotta call
Speaker 1: you back. Let's talk. How does what you feel about
Speaker 1: any person of color or just anybody in general and
Speaker 1: their thoughts about voting for Donald Trump?
Speaker 5: Oh gosh, I mean I come from a different state
Speaker 5: of opinion. I am a New Yorker born and raised.
Speaker 5: I know a different side. I grew up knowing and
Speaker 5: hearing of different sides of Donald J. Trump. I'm seeing
Speaker 5: the racist side of him my entire life.
Speaker 4: I feel like he is a he walks and breaths
Speaker 4: and exists hate.
Speaker 5: And it is extremely concerning to know that someone who
Speaker 5: represents that can be the leader of my country. So
Speaker 5: as a woman, he's trying to take away woman's rights.
Speaker 5: As a president of color, I feel like he's trying
Speaker 5: to revert us back to days of slavery. I don't
Speaker 5: see anything good that can come out of him returning
Speaker 5: to that position.
Speaker 1: Well, what about his whole idea of helping to boost
Speaker 1: the economy.
Speaker 5: I think that he is a narcissist and I think
Speaker 5: that anything that he says out his mouth is of
Speaker 5: self interest. And yeah, I don't think that it will
Speaker 5: boost an economy. I think it will have it self.
Speaker 5: It will be about him. It may appear, and that's
Speaker 5: the thing. People have to do their research. You have
Speaker 5: to do your research. You know, you vote for this
Speaker 5: person that you're not doing your research. You're looking at
Speaker 5: someone who is an entertainer on a television reality show
Speaker 5: mm hm, who is inciting domestic terrorism on our own soil,
Speaker 5: and who is putting policies in place that are having
Speaker 5: tremendous fallout that will that are that's setting us back.
Speaker 5: I think people really need to do their research.
Speaker 1: So how do you feel about individuals stating that whether
Speaker 1: you you got to figure out who you're going to
Speaker 1: put the choose the lesser of evils, saying that Kamala
Speaker 1: Vice President Kamala Harris isn't for the people. What do
Speaker 1: you say about that?
Speaker 5: I think that you have to do your research.
Speaker 1: Well, see, here's the thing. The election is on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: If you can't have some share, what does that mean
Speaker 1: for somebody that may not know how to do the research?
Speaker 1: And I think that's why I have to have an
Speaker 1: overstand what does it.
Speaker 5: Mean the less that it's too evil? Hey, you have
Speaker 5: one person who is who has been a lawyer for
Speaker 5: entire career and a government appointed professional her entire career,
Speaker 5: and then here you have somebody who is a criminal
Speaker 5: who has been convicted of several felonies.
Speaker 4: I want to say, thirty four forty three?
Speaker 5: How many felonies he's been convicted of several selonies in
Speaker 5: New York. He was facing charges in Georgia for tampering
Speaker 5: with the last election. And I don't understand when you
Speaker 5: see these allegations not just allegations, because they have been
Speaker 5: actually formally charged indictments, how can you even sit there
Speaker 5: and still think about voting that person back into that position.
Speaker 5: This doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 1: So if you had one message out there for individuals
Speaker 1: who are thinking of voting for Donald J. Trump, what
Speaker 1: would you say?
Speaker 5: I would say, if it's a person of color.
Speaker 1: Any person, because at this point, is it even about
Speaker 1: color at this point? Or is it everybody?
Speaker 5: It's not, it's he's just he represents divisiveness, he represents hate.
Speaker 5: And if that is what you want to live in,
Speaker 5: if you want to live in a country that is
Speaker 5: under a sum of dictatorships, then that's your choice. You know,
Speaker 5: if you if you like civil liberties and democracy, then
Speaker 5: I would encourage you to strongly not vote for him.
Speaker 5: But if that's what you want to live under, and
Speaker 5: as a person of color, if you want to go
Speaker 5: back in them fields and pick cotton, didn't go about that, because.
Speaker 9: That's what he is.
Speaker 4: His message is clear.
Speaker 5: He is a racist, he is a biggot, and he
Speaker 5: wants to bring us back to days of slavery and
Speaker 5: devoc and cause divisiveness amongst.
Speaker 8: All of us.
Speaker 1: And there you are, well, thank you so much, AIRL
Speaker 1: for sharing.
Speaker 5: You're welcome.
Speaker 1: Please stay tuned in because I would love for you
Speaker 1: if you need to to call back and to make
Speaker 1: any clarification, because, like you said, you've been following this
Speaker 1: election very closely, right I have, Okay, so yes, please
Speaker 1: stay tuned, and I'd love to hear.
Speaker 4: Following his career.
Speaker 5: I mean since I was a child, I've seen his
Speaker 5: racist ways living in New York City?
Speaker 1: Is that right?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 1: Because when we think of Central Park five and then
Speaker 1: the whole ordeal that was happening with him and his
Speaker 1: rental place or his his property is building, right, he wouldn't.
Speaker 4: Allow her rent More than that, He's done way more
Speaker 4: than that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he is.
Speaker 5: Redline to prevent people of color from buying getting into
Speaker 5: the housing and buying real estate in certain parts.
Speaker 9: Of New York. Like, he's done way more than that.
Speaker 9: He's just the horrible.
Speaker 5: He is the horrible candidate person.
Speaker 1: Actually, And you have no apologies about that statement, do
Speaker 1: you at all? All right? Thank you so much, You're welcome. Well,
Speaker 1: I want to let you know the phone lines are open.
Speaker 1: Call me. We are waiting on my aunt's call back.
Speaker 1: I hope she didn't get cold feed, because I mean
Speaker 1: she was boasting it loud and clear, talking about some
Speaker 1: voting for Donald J. Trump. She was saying how Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris wasn't really for the people, and all of a
Speaker 1: sudden now she want to step out. She said, in fact,
Speaker 1: what did she actually do for us? What did she do?
Speaker 1: So I want to invite because I want to have
Speaker 1: this conversation. We know that the election is coming up.
Speaker 1: We are less than what six days from the election.
Speaker 1: What is going on? This is the time that we
Speaker 1: have to have the conversation of overstanding so that we
Speaker 1: can have some understanding because this election will impact lives.
Speaker 1: This election will affect our lives, and we can't just
Speaker 1: sit here and watch. We can't just sit here and listen. Missatasha.
Speaker 1: You was just saying on Tuesday you were working the polls.
Speaker 1: Do I need to call you or you're gonna call me?
Speaker 1: Because I am curious to hear what your experience has been.
Speaker 1: What is the rhetoric? What are people talking about? Because
Speaker 1: so many stories have broken out about the whole notion
Speaker 1: that these ballads are being cut on fire, they're blowing
Speaker 1: up the mailboxes. I'm hearing about mail trucks. What ballot
Speaker 1: boxes have fell in the back end? Oh, you know what,
Speaker 1: They're saying, oh, I forgot to lock the door? Did
Speaker 1: you really?
Speaker 10: Now?
Speaker 1: Because the thing that concerns me is just these tactics
Speaker 1: that are in place, that are being used. What happened
Speaker 1: thirty forty fifty years ago, even prior to the fact
Speaker 1: that we couldn't even vote? You making me guess how
Speaker 1: many jelly beans? How many pieces of rice is in
Speaker 1: a jar? First of all? Who counted it to verify
Speaker 1: in the first place? All right, Miss Latasha, you up next?
Speaker 7: Let me call it?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 1: Did that? I think I put too many? Easier? Rose,
Speaker 1: I heard that extra zero? Didn't you? Let me see
Speaker 1: cal me?
Speaker 11: How are you?
Speaker 12: Oh?
Speaker 1: How you doing you? Did you hear me talking about you? Yes?
Speaker 4: I did? H.
Speaker 1: So you know I's gonna call you girl, I know.
Speaker 1: So let's talk what Let's talk first of all with
Speaker 1: me even so, listen to the topic that my aunt's
Speaker 1: an African American woman in the Midwest, uh, probably born
Speaker 1: in the late fifties, early sixties. Say she voting for
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump. Now, you've been out there working the polls, right,
Speaker 1: tell me what your thoughts are about this? Tell me,
Speaker 1: just tell me what's going on. So far?
Speaker 4: A lot of people are saying a by Harris that
Speaker 4: she's not doing anything for us as African Americans or minority.
Speaker 4: Trump is kind of like he's not doing anything. So
Speaker 4: we're not getting a lot of boats in right now
Speaker 4: at this time because due to the fact of people
Speaker 4: or still have mixed feelings about what's going on. But
Speaker 4: who I am African American, I let them know, you know,
Speaker 4: it's very important your vote does count. And I think
Speaker 4: us as minority we need to mean more to the
Speaker 4: Democrat than the Republican because he's only out for his
Speaker 4: own and there is mental health issues going on within him.
Speaker 4: That's my true outlook in others as well outlook. And
Speaker 4: like I said, I work at the Women's Hill in Lynwood.
Speaker 4: I'm a social worker inside the jails besides dealing with
Speaker 4: my nonprofit on the weekends. And I am a shocked
Speaker 4: because you have some people that are minority African Americans
Speaker 4: and Hispanics who are honestly voting for him. And I
Speaker 4: want to say something, but I catch myself because we
Speaker 4: in the workplace, so I have to be a little
Speaker 4: bit more professional. But when it comes to certain cultures,
Speaker 4: I do voice my opinion and say why are you
Speaker 4: voting for him. I'm not trying to be rude, but
Speaker 4: he was trying to put up a brick water for
Speaker 4: you guys and didn't want you guys to come over here.
Speaker 4: But you're gonna vote for him, you know. And I
Speaker 4: had to catch myself again. But at the end of
Speaker 4: the day, I feel like this Donde, our votes are
Speaker 4: very important. I understand who we have in office. But
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, you know, we got
Speaker 4: to make things right.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: Can you clarify something we were having that was having
Speaker 1: a discussion with l prior to the show. Can inmates
Speaker 1: vote if you're a convicted family, you can or cannot.
Speaker 1: You cannot vote right, you can't where I'm at.
Speaker 4: We do have a deputy right now going around in
Speaker 4: the different modules and allowing certain inmates to vote. Not
Speaker 4: all inmates can vote, but certain inmates can vote. Yes,
Speaker 4: they do have people going in with the ballots, are
Speaker 4: having them registered for the first time, because of course,
Speaker 4: at the Women's show, as soon as you turn eighteen
Speaker 4: you consider it as an adult. And they are allowing
Speaker 4: people to vote, and we honestly have the ballot, We
Speaker 4: have everything, so they can do everything. They just can't
Speaker 4: go outside. Do we have everything inside?
Speaker 1: You know what's so interesting just talking about the idea
Speaker 1: how everybody is in the middle, like they're like, I
Speaker 1: don't know the split between two evils and a conversation
Speaker 1: that we talked about earlier when I was talking to
Speaker 1: a coworker here at the studio shared the fact that
Speaker 1: they are a minority of Mexican descent, family is from
Speaker 1: Mexico and said, hey, I'm in between. I am not
Speaker 1: clear on who I'm voting for, but even addressed the
Speaker 1: perks of voting with Trump because they feel like, oh,
Speaker 1: they're going to make change. They said, all these policies
Speaker 1: that Kamala is talking about, well, it's gonna take years
Speaker 1: to implement. At least we know what Trump He's gonna
Speaker 1: do what he wants to do. But perhaps that's the
Speaker 1: problem in the first place, because what rules are he
Speaker 1: is he going to follow? Not even concerned with the
Speaker 1: fact of disenfranchising various school systems about ta teaching them
Speaker 1: from history, not concerned about the fact of the insurrection
Speaker 1: that took place that could be inside it, not even
Speaker 1: concerned about the rally that took place at Madison Square
Speaker 1: Garden with they were clearly racist remarks, and I'm talking
Speaker 1: about stating the fact that Puerto Rico looks like garbage,
Speaker 1: talking about the black neighbor carving a watermelon and putting
Speaker 1: it on their head, not to mention those of Hispanic descent,
Speaker 1: they don't know how to pull out. Why is this okay?
Speaker 1: Are we tripping? Do we feel as though if we
Speaker 1: experience this blatant racism, this blatant disrespect, is better than
Speaker 1: experiencing behind our back.
Speaker 4: You have a point that, but my thing is, as
Speaker 4: I always think John, that we still have them Jim
Speaker 4: Crows and Jim Jones out there and that's never going
Speaker 4: to change. It's just in certain states right there in
Speaker 4: front of our faces and certain stations behind the shield.
Speaker 4: And I can honestly say, when you go back out,
Speaker 4: it's out there here California is sometimes just getting behind
Speaker 4: the shield. But you know, you know, because you can
Speaker 4: feel it as a minority when you had them Jim
Speaker 4: Crows and Jim Jones. But for me, I'm not going
Speaker 4: to drink the purple punt. I'm good, but.
Speaker 1: Period, period. Right now, are you comfortable with Sharan who
Speaker 1: you're voting for?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, I'm comfortable, and I'm gonna vote for Harry
Speaker 4: and the reason why. And I will stand my point. Yes,
Speaker 4: I did not like the way she did things back
Speaker 4: in the days when she was a public defender and
Speaker 4: you know, on that side, and she was putting all
Speaker 4: of us as minorities away behind bars and she didn't care.
Speaker 4: But I look at it as look, look what's going on,
Speaker 4: and then I mean, it's hard. But at the end
Speaker 4: of the day, I think my attitude is more she's
Speaker 4: a woman, she's African American, as she say, but we
Speaker 4: know who she married, so therefore I understand marriage. So
Speaker 4: you know, color doesn't show no love. But you know
Speaker 4: you have to take that on into faster. Are you
Speaker 4: really for us the people? Are you just saying a
Speaker 4: good thing to make us believe what you want to
Speaker 4: You're saying what you want us to hear. But then
Speaker 4: when you get in office, what are you going to
Speaker 4: really do?
Speaker 1: So it's almost like you feel like you're gambling.
Speaker 4: Yes I am, but I know I would not definitely
Speaker 4: vote for Trump. I can tell you that I knew
Speaker 4: he had mental health issues when they told me that
Speaker 4: he went to boarding school. That already let me know
Speaker 4: that your mom, your dad, nobody in the family can
Speaker 4: deal with you, so they send you off to go
Speaker 4: to school because nobody can't deal with you. So that's
Speaker 4: a problem within himself, and by me being a social
Speaker 4: worker and dealing with the mental health feel inside the jails,
Speaker 4: dealing with that's the issue within him.
Speaker 7: Wow.
Speaker 4: Okay, well, thank you so much for right about I
Speaker 4: just want to give a comment about what was going
Speaker 4: on in the jails. You were right about what was
Speaker 4: going on. It doesn't seem to surprise me because there's
Speaker 4: always something going on at mans Central County Jail. There's
Speaker 4: always a lot of overdose. There's always a lot that
Speaker 4: goes on. But let's not exempt the jail where I'm at,
Speaker 4: the women's jail in Mine Woods. There's a lot that
Speaker 4: goes on in our jail too. The only thing is
Speaker 4: it's just swept underneath the carpet. Sometimes it get out,
Speaker 4: sometimes they don't. But since the man Central County Jail
Speaker 4: on Twins tar Are the well Mansister County Jail is
Speaker 4: the oldest jail, so whenever something goes on there, it
Speaker 4: definitely goes to the news real fast. The only thing
Speaker 4: you see about us is if a deputy had set
Speaker 4: to it, they in made are something minor. I mean,
Speaker 4: that's not minor. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that,
Speaker 4: but something on that level before it's drugs and all
Speaker 4: that you don't really hear from our.
Speaker 1: Jail what so there has to be the officers. Are
Speaker 1: they the ones that's bringing the drugs in?
Speaker 4: Well, you know what, I'm gonna be honest, and I'm
Speaker 4: gonna tell you. For instance, when inmates get ready to
Speaker 4: go to court and just say you've got to be
Speaker 4: at court eight o'clock in the morning. You're all on
Speaker 4: the black and you're going to Comptant court House, Long
Speaker 4: Beach Courthouse. Where the courthouse you're going, you just say,
Speaker 4: for instance, it was you you got caught up and
Speaker 4: they put you inside the holding. Take with me. You
Speaker 4: came from off the street. I'm somebody that's already in jail.
Speaker 4: They ain't checked you fully to make sure you ain't
Speaker 4: got nothing on you, So who's to say that you
Speaker 4: ain't got nothing hit up in you? And then sometimes
Speaker 4: that does happen like that where the inmates are bringing
Speaker 4: it in. It's not necessarily the workers bringing it in,
Speaker 4: but sometimes in some cases it's the inmates to bring
Speaker 4: it in.
Speaker 5: Because you know you're in court, we're in a holding.
Speaker 4: Who's to say, who's really keeping an eye on everybody?
Speaker 4: So that does happen. And then from what I understand,
Speaker 4: we had an incident where it was a nurse. It
Speaker 4: was a nurse. What she was bringing in stuff a nurse.
Speaker 4: So you know, you have to ask yourself is it
Speaker 4: worth it? Is it worth the schooling, the education, just
Speaker 4: how long you've been with the county. I've been with
Speaker 4: the county twenty four years. But you got to ask yourself,
Speaker 4: is it really worth it for you to do all
Speaker 4: this and they end up losing your job and your
Speaker 4: prudentials as a nurse.
Speaker 1: Well, how much money the inmates are paying them to
Speaker 1: bring in the contraband?
Speaker 4: I don't know how much. I have no idea. I
Speaker 4: have no idea about that part. But you be surprised.
Speaker 4: You have family members who know, family members who help out,
Speaker 4: family members who help out everything.
Speaker 1: Now l Castro from Facebook says, but do CEOs also
Speaker 1: bring contraband into the jails.
Speaker 4: I'm with the county jail, so we have deputies and
Speaker 4: we have custody assistance. I can't speak for the state level,
Speaker 4: but I can speak for the county that I don't
Speaker 4: believe so, But if you can read between the lines,
Speaker 4: I don't believe so. I think they're more of, you know,
Speaker 4: bringing in other things, bringing in other things. I mean,
Speaker 4: we do have a high rate. Like I said about
Speaker 4: deputies having sex with the inmates, we do have a
Speaker 4: high rate. I've had women on my case flow where
Speaker 4: they tell me ome issts and I'm going home. I said, no,
Speaker 4: you're not. I didn't approve for you to walk out
Speaker 4: these double doors, and they let me know, Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: I will go home. You will see it tonight on
Speaker 4: the news. And when I got home, I've seen it.
Speaker 4: It was a deputy who had different women having sex
Speaker 4: with him and they were asking for our well, he
Speaker 4: was asking for all sets. They gave him the all sets.
Speaker 4: And then when the sheriff came down to us asking
Speaker 4: us questions, we were like, well, we didn't.
Speaker 2: Know that all this was going on.
Speaker 4: And I said, well, anyway, how did you know that
Speaker 4: it was this deputy? And the girl came out and said,
Speaker 4: because I saved the evidence in my mouth and put
Speaker 4: it in a cup every day.
Speaker 1: Shut up, And it's just like that.
Speaker 4: Now, how she got it? That's exactly how she got on.
Speaker 4: And this happened. You guys can YouTube it, look it up.
Speaker 4: This happened at our jail in September of twenty twenty seven. No, no, no,
Speaker 4: oh wait September twenty seventeen. Sorry about that, you guys.
Speaker 4: And it happened at the women's jail where there was
Speaker 4: a deputy who was having sest with the inmates. And
Speaker 4: it's at the women's jail century original Detention facility.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it does go on.
Speaker 4: It does go on, but it's sad because my attitude
Speaker 4: the list. I'm not trying to be rude, but you
Speaker 4: can go get somebody off the Long Beach Boulevard and
Speaker 4: go get somebody out of begin you know, I mean,
Speaker 4: is it You do this because you feel you have
Speaker 4: the power over them because they convicted a crime or whatever,
Speaker 4: so therefore they feel that they must do this to
Speaker 4: get on your good side. That's not fair. You don't
Speaker 4: do people like.
Speaker 1: That, taking advantage of people. That's why I feel like
Speaker 1: a lot of things when we talk about this ego
Speaker 1: goes in the way, this hunger for the power, whether
Speaker 1: it comes with money, the sex, the drugs, the fame,
Speaker 1: like whatever, it is. It's the sense of power that
Speaker 1: individuals need and they want. Right, Well, thank you so
Speaker 1: much for shedding the light on the truth.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 1: I'm also going to up level the conversation on another show,
Speaker 1: and I hope that you can tune in of just
Speaker 1: talking about the senseless deaths that happen in these prison
Speaker 1: systems and how family members are losing their loved ones
Speaker 1: and not getting any explanation as to what happened, and
Speaker 1: what are you supposed to do about it?
Speaker 10: Right? Right?
Speaker 1: You do?
Speaker 4: I mean I can say, for instance, like in the
Speaker 4: Man Central County jail, and I noticed when you're not
Speaker 4: Hispanic or Black, that they have less deputies behind you,
Speaker 4: like maybe one or two deputies walking with you. But
Speaker 4: if you're African American or Hispanic, then you have like
Speaker 4: ten twelve deputies walking behind you because of that fear,
Speaker 4: they claim. But I don't think it's really fear. Because
Speaker 4: if I'm a social worker and if I can walk
Speaker 4: around that jail by myself and talk and laugh and
Speaker 4: do whatever, I fear no one. You know, that's just me,
Speaker 4: And I tell them you need to just stay prayed up,
Speaker 4: they said, But you don't understand, No, I understand. I
Speaker 4: see the skin color, so I understand very well. I
Speaker 4: said I was born at night, not last night.
Speaker 1: Okay, catch it. Oh my goodness, you know. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for sharing. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 1: And we're gonna up level that conversation because these are
Speaker 1: the things. That's when we got inside people that know
Speaker 1: what's going on.
Speaker 4: Okay, right, right, So feel free to call me anytime.
Speaker 4: You know my work schedule, so feel free to call
Speaker 4: me anytime, and I will like to be on that
Speaker 4: call that when we talk about that topic.
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, you already noticed.
Speaker 8: Deal.
Speaker 1: I'm come.
Speaker 5: Right then.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna get back online now.
Speaker 1: Okay, I see you on another sagger.
Speaker 4: All right, okay, thank you, I can.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, so we got that. We got a
Speaker 1: little airfoll there. Now, I see some comments are coming in.
Speaker 1: Kevin Ross stated on faceboo, Kevin, are you still here?
Speaker 1: Because I'm about to call you. Kevin Ross says, why
Speaker 1: do black people say Harris has done uh hasn't done
Speaker 1: nothing for black people? Why is that important? Why is
Speaker 1: I'm Kevin, I'm interested in hearing you expound upon that
Speaker 1: some more because my thing is this wouldn't I want
Speaker 1: somebody in office that has done something for people that
Speaker 1: look like me. Isn't that the reason while we get
Speaker 1: out in there and voked, so that your voice can
Speaker 1: be escalated, to be elevated. I'm calling Kevin Ross. Yes,
Speaker 1: don Kevin Ross. How you doing. I'm doing good. I'm
Speaker 1: glad that you're doing good.
Speaker 9: I'm doing good. I'm doing good.
Speaker 1: So I was reading your comment. Talk to me. You say,
Speaker 1: why is it important if Vice President Kamala Harris has
Speaker 1: not done anything for black people? What do you mean
Speaker 1: by that?
Speaker 9: Well?
Speaker 7: I don't I don't understand why why she has to
Speaker 7: has done something for black people when you want her
Speaker 7: to have done something for people in general. If Asian
Speaker 7: president only did things for white people, that that doesn't
Speaker 7: seem to be something to be voting for. Our being
Speaker 7: discussing as if well, she ain't doting nothing or he
Speaker 7: ain't getting nothing for black people. That's that's a one
Speaker 7: sided thing.
Speaker 9: I don't I don't want that.
Speaker 7: That just baffles my thinking.
Speaker 2: M hm, why is it?
Speaker 7: I guess of course you're not posing to anybody who's listening.
Speaker 7: Why is that important? And why why is that even
Speaker 7: a topic to say or she hasn't done anything for
Speaker 7: black people. That's not her job to do things for
Speaker 7: black people only.
Speaker 1: Well l Castro from Facebook says, because the election is
Speaker 1: all about race because of other candidates, that's who she's
Speaker 1: running against. Trump is all about race because he's a racist.
Speaker 1: So if you know that you're running against a racist,
Speaker 1: wouldn't you want somebody that has done something for people
Speaker 1: that look like you or not?
Speaker 7: Necessarily?
Speaker 1: Now, and what are your thoughts on the whole idea.
Speaker 7: Swing my vote? It doesn't swing my vote. I mean,
Speaker 7: it doesn't swing my vote either way based on what
Speaker 7: see You know they say rock does nothing for black people.
Speaker 9: Uh, you know, vote for.
Speaker 7: Somebody because they haven't or had done something for black people.
Speaker 1: Hello hello, oh yeah, you said vote for something that
Speaker 1: What is you just say said?
Speaker 7: Is it is it important for a president or a
Speaker 7: person running for president to have done something special with
Speaker 7: their race and should that be a reason to vote
Speaker 7: for him?
Speaker 1: Well, I'll say this, I think that when you talk
Speaker 1: about somebody being a leader or to represent your voice,
Speaker 1: I would want to know that my voice is heard.
Speaker 1: I would want to know that I am being seen.
Speaker 1: And so what that would look like is what type
Speaker 1: of implemmation, what type of policies, what kind of actions,
Speaker 1: what type of initiatives have taken place, that have done
Speaker 1: some people for something for people that looks like me.
Speaker 1: Because when it's all said and done, when it's decided
Speaker 1: to allocations of money or how to carry through things,
Speaker 1: to amplify things, to shut things down, are you doing
Speaker 1: it for the interest or am I being seen? Is
Speaker 1: it done because of someone that looks like me or
Speaker 1: representative of me? And you know, l Castro says, you know,
Speaker 1: Brock did things for all people, and she says that
Speaker 1: she thinks that that Vice President Kamala Harris will do
Speaker 1: something for all people. So I think it's an idea
Speaker 1: of you just want to make sure your voice is heard.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So I mean, if they they're saying those things, I
Speaker 7: guess I really was speaking to the people who say
Speaker 7: and have said, you know, she hasn't she hasn't done
Speaker 7: anything for black people. Why would I go for she
Speaker 7: has any proof that she's done anything for black people?
Speaker 7: Or are you know why it to me?
Speaker 8: Just to me?
Speaker 7: And I'm only talking about me. I don't understand why
Speaker 7: that's important. I would want a president who has done something.
Speaker 9: For all people.
Speaker 7: And and that's that's a the three, that's like a one,
Speaker 7: that's a I don't know, I guess.
Speaker 1: Uh, like a one stop shop.
Speaker 7: I tell you, I yeah, you can say it. I won't.
Speaker 7: But you know it's like, do you want a president
Speaker 7: who only does something for black people?
Speaker 9: Don't want to? How they go get the waiting vote?
Speaker 1: Catch it? And now you know there are a lot
Speaker 1: of people that has the the rhetoric of well, you know,
Speaker 1: Trump sent us some money, and Obama came forth and said,
Speaker 1: hold up, wait a minute, Oh, Trump was the only
Speaker 1: one that put his name on the check. But best
Speaker 1: believed when you left that relief Biden, I mean, uh,
Speaker 1: Biden didn't put his name on it, and that he
Speaker 1: didn't put the name on it, but he could have.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on that?
Speaker 7: Are we basing uh throwing money to the people on
Speaker 7: the reason to vote for somebody?
Speaker 2: So he threw so he threw.
Speaker 7: He threw the United States some money during COVID you know,
Speaker 7: is that a reason? I mean, anybody could have done
Speaker 7: that in that situation or was it the setup for
Speaker 7: later such as people are now saying what he did
Speaker 7: for us during COVID and you know all that type
Speaker 7: of stuff. I don't I don't understand that, you know
Speaker 7: all it cakes is very touchy, disiblementual.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I just want to make sure that we
Speaker 1: make this a safe space to have the conversation because
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that need to understand. I mean,
Speaker 1: this a lunch action, as we've been talking about, could
Speaker 1: be the face that changes the trajectory of a lot
Speaker 1: of people's lives. And at least if you're gonna sit
Speaker 1: there and vote or not for understand what you're.
Speaker 2: Standing on, you know, without one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: I was looking at Bear Bear, I'm not sure do
Speaker 1: you have any insight? Kevin Ross, Bear says, I have
Speaker 1: a buddy who is voting for Trump just because of
Speaker 1: the hit laws. Nothing else.
Speaker 12: Law.
Speaker 7: I can't see that.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to get beer. I don't think I
Speaker 1: got your number, Bear, call me. Okay. Well, thank you
Speaker 1: so much, Kevin Ross. I hope you stay tuned in,
Speaker 1: and if you have any further comments, please feel free
Speaker 1: to call again or to go ahead and put it
Speaker 1: in the chat.
Speaker 2: All right, Hello, yes sir, yes, ma'am, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Oh, that y'all hurt that Dane. That's
Speaker 1: my aunt. Hey, give me a minute, because I thought
Speaker 1: you wanted me to tune in online to your podcast. No,
Speaker 1: I was calling you on the phone. Everybody says, where's
Speaker 1: Auntie Trumpet? We texting right now. I just wanted your boys.
Speaker 1: I don't know if she got scared of y'all. Now, Beer,
Speaker 1: I don't think I have your number. Beer, can you
Speaker 1: call me? Can you call me in the studio, Beer,
Speaker 1: call me in the studio. I want your voice to
Speaker 1: be heard. The number is eight one eight four six
Speaker 1: one fifty four thirty two. Call me in the studio.
Speaker 1: I'm texting my aunt right now. Y'all see the text messages.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out what she got confused about. Nevertheless,
Speaker 1: I do want to have this conversation. Jesus. I don't
Speaker 1: understand why she is having this. It's so challenging. I
Speaker 1: had her on the live. It was going to be
Speaker 1: a phone call. Pardon the silence. Beer, Please feel free
Speaker 1: to call in. I would love to hear what you
Speaker 1: got to say about the gone laws. He says, Okay,
Speaker 1: give me a second, all right, So this is what
Speaker 1: we got at stake. We have individuals who have stated
Speaker 1: there on the fence whether or not to vote for
Speaker 1: Vice President Kamala Harris. Are we doing for Donald J? Trump?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 1: A lot of people say, you know, regardless of whatever raise,
Speaker 1: how could you not vote for somebody that is not
Speaker 1: looking for the best interest of all people. Then some
Speaker 1: people say, specifically, say, well, why am I gonna vote
Speaker 1: for Kamala Harris? What has she done for black people?
Speaker 1: What do you think can be done out There's a
Speaker 1: lot of talk about all of the policies that she
Speaker 1: has into place and whether or not how long these
Speaker 1: policies are going to take to get into effect. And
Speaker 1: somebody has stated that question. I said to them, what
Speaker 1: do you think I mean? Is it better that it's
Speaker 1: like almost saying I don't want to invest in something
Speaker 1: because it's gonna take years for me to get a
Speaker 1: turn around in profit. Then you got I guess other
Speaker 1: people saying I want to put my money in or
Speaker 1: cash my check right now, Well, that's gonna come with
Speaker 1: some penalties. That's going to come with a bit of
Speaker 1: a challenge. Bert I got the number right on the
Speaker 1: screen for you, eight one, eight four, six one fifty
Speaker 1: four to thirty two again. That's eight one eight four
Speaker 1: six one fifty four thirty two. Come me in a
Speaker 1: studio right now. I want to hear from you. And
Speaker 1: if you have any comments, go ahead and put them
Speaker 1: on the I would love to review them. I might
Speaker 1: try to call my aunt again because I'm unclear as
Speaker 1: to what she's unclear about. That's when you go free
Speaker 1: for all. Let me see what happened because I let
Speaker 1: me call on her again right now. Let's see. Don't
Speaker 1: be scared, like, don't be talking, big chest, big body.
Speaker 1: So now I guess she ain't picking up. There is
Speaker 1: nothing to get ready for. And that's the only thing
Speaker 1: I'm mad because I hyped it up. Hmm, yes, okay,
Speaker 1: So we're just having this conversation. We know that the
Speaker 1: election is taking place just days away, less than a week,
Speaker 1: and less than a week we will have the verdicten.
Speaker 1: Oh hello, talk to me, bear, can you hear me?
Speaker 1: I can bear to hear you what I signed, real
Speaker 1: law for you, real real love. Okay, well you can
Speaker 1: you can make it out right now?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So talk to me. You said that you
Speaker 1: have a buddy of yours who said that they are
Speaker 1: going to vote for Trump. Because of the gun laws.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's like, okay, so he's uh.
Speaker 10: We had a conversation that's long ago, and he told
Speaker 10: me he, uh, he don't care about pers The only
Speaker 10: thing he cares about is is I believe it's taking
Speaker 10: him in the so far as a gun though.
Speaker 9: I guess he don't. He don't want those thim in
Speaker 9: a way, My finion is that that's the only usual
Speaker 9: votes for the dude. We are lost. I know, I've
Speaker 9: heard a lot of people say they're voting for.
Speaker 8: Miss Harris for the only for the simper passion's black,
Speaker 8: or they're voting for Trump because they don't want to
Speaker 8: figure up an office. That kind of remind me of
Speaker 8: all the social nigga was running for the uh for
Speaker 8: the thing in California and a lot of people won't
Speaker 8: voted him because he was a actor. It's like, we
Speaker 8: have a lot of people that's voting but not voting
Speaker 8: for the right reason.
Speaker 1: Right because your buddy is saying that, Okay, I'm voting
Speaker 1: for the gun laws. But we got to come and say, well,
Speaker 1: Vice President Kamala Harir is for the Second Amendment, and
Speaker 1: folks need to do simply their research. But I think also, folks,
Speaker 1: we need to have more of these conversations to talk
Speaker 1: about why things are, why people feel ways are impacted,
Speaker 1: so that we can decipher the truth. Because the truth
Speaker 1: is still gonna stand oh.
Speaker 9: Yeah, mostimulantly. And I mean it's rather than our face
Speaker 9: that we just pay attention to it.
Speaker 6: M Unfortunately, I was the that grew up that my
Speaker 6: parents didn't vote, so I part se didn't have that
Speaker 6: politic or political conversations growing up.
Speaker 8: I'm just now getting at the political the political conversations
Speaker 8: here and there.
Speaker 9: So I'm not even gonna say like I know the
Speaker 9: ins and outs of it. I'm still, like I said,
Speaker 9: I'm still learning myself on what different things is.
Speaker 8: But one thing I did learn is in order for
Speaker 8: me to have my own opinion instead of going off
Speaker 8: of whood says and all that other is like the
Speaker 8: lady says that you just had on the phone, I
Speaker 8: want to go do your research.
Speaker 9: So that's where I'm stuck at it with. I'm not
Speaker 9: even gonna lie.
Speaker 6: For the last maybe two or three elections that we
Speaker 6: had to vote, I was accused, so I just voted
Speaker 6: for the Freedom Party. I mean with ill still with
Speaker 6: them myself, that was like the right thing to do
Speaker 6: at the times is I couldn't distinguish the two of
Speaker 6: the the republican and democratics, you know, what was.
Speaker 9: Right what was wrong.
Speaker 8: So now that I'm actually having more politic political conversations,
Speaker 8: I'm trying to do a little by little research and
Speaker 8: studying to see, you know, what will best heed.
Speaker 11: Me right and my son as you know, a five
Speaker 11: year old black kid, and my wife. My wife is
Speaker 11: more incluid than I am, but we don't have some conversations.
Speaker 6: Due to the fact I'm at work fifteen hours a day,
Speaker 6: five to seven days, five to six days a week.
Speaker 9: So when I come home, I'm tired.
Speaker 6: We have normal conversations about how your day was, except
Speaker 6: a recession.
Speaker 9: Next morning, I get up to do it again.
Speaker 8: And on my off days, I'm exhausted from working for
Speaker 8: me all the week. Whereas like we just meet me
Speaker 8: alone for a.
Speaker 9: Minute, that minute surges and now I got to go
Speaker 9: back to work again. Got But I heard though, I
Speaker 9: kind of a lot of that stuff I have.
Speaker 8: To do with my owner, you know, do research on
Speaker 8: my own. But it's still like the conversations that I
Speaker 8: should be having with the family. I can't to the
Speaker 8: job and time won't allow it, right, right, right, right,
Speaker 8: I do think that's a real.
Speaker 9: That's not that's not that's not a.
Speaker 8: A correct way to vote for somebody all because you
Speaker 8: want your gun, you know, you just you want to
Speaker 8: be able to buy as many guns or they have
Speaker 8: a new law where you to buy a bigger magazine
Speaker 8: or etcetera. Orce now just saying okay, okay, they give
Speaker 8: you your gun, lag Doug. But at the end of
Speaker 8: the day, now they put in effect that now you
Speaker 8: can't use it. You can have them, but you aren't
Speaker 8: using the protect yourself.
Speaker 9: So now she voted for.
Speaker 1: Was pointless, right, And I guess you know something that
Speaker 1: you said.
Speaker 9: Personally off from the old school where.
Speaker 8: If I had to not promote, but I have to
Speaker 8: defend myself or I had to be in in any
Speaker 8: kind of act of violence, I have two hands, and
Speaker 8: that's what they were for. And at the end of
Speaker 8: the day, it's like on my block, everybody had a
Speaker 8: probable jest, somebody got punched off, or.
Speaker 9: You know, you punched back. You didn't go run to
Speaker 9: your closet or run your car and pull out of
Speaker 9: weapon that you know do that, So I mean, that's
Speaker 9: just why I'm at with it. Like I can care
Speaker 9: less about the gun laws.
Speaker 8: I just want to make sure myself, my family, and
Speaker 8: my son has a chance at life with a better future.
Speaker 9: I supposed to happen to fight the odds of going
Speaker 9: back into the eighteen hundreds to the early nineteen hundreds
Speaker 9: with the people telling you to do what you say.
Speaker 9: I mean, do what they say, and you have to
Speaker 9: do what they say, or you know, for.
Speaker 1: Dismissing thank you for Saron, And the one thing that
Speaker 1: I hear, like a lot of people share just like
Speaker 1: how you were saying of just not having this discourse,
Speaker 1: not having a conversation, so you kind of lost in
Speaker 1: the sauce. And I do feel it so easy to say,
Speaker 1: well do your research. Well, it's like being in a
Speaker 1: room and you don't even know the lights are off?
Speaker 1: Where am I supposed to go? Where are the people
Speaker 1: that are able to deliver the message so we can
Speaker 1: receive it now? One thing I have been saying with
Speaker 1: Vice President Kamala Harris is that she has been getting
Speaker 1: down with the community. And what I mean that, whether
Speaker 1: that is not taking advantage of social media, whether that's
Speaker 1: not going where the young people are going on TikTok
Speaker 1: taking these podcast interviews. There is a way that she's
Speaker 1: showing up and saying, hey, reach me, if you need
Speaker 1: to reach me, let's have a conversation and let's talk
Speaker 1: about it, right. And I feel as long as we
Speaker 1: keep having more conversations like this and understanding that people
Speaker 1: need to overstand, then we're going to be able to
Speaker 1: make way.
Speaker 9: Right right, Okay, Well, I mean one thing I can
Speaker 9: say that I.
Speaker 8: Learned with a little bit of peaking through the window,
Speaker 8: living at the debate or doing a little bit of study.
Speaker 9: I mean, Rump showed the shoe.
Speaker 8: Colors the luod for years and then for some odd reason,
Speaker 8: he's still a little bit even though we have another
Speaker 8: president in in place, always.
Speaker 11: Somebody that already did their term feel relevant more than
Speaker 11: who's who's in you know, who's Gonnallow.
Speaker 1: Well, let's not be mistaken that we're talking about a
Speaker 1: part of social media celebrity. He did have his talk show,
Speaker 1: Hey You're Fired, So he knows his way of knowing
Speaker 1: how to appeal to the masses, whether it may be
Speaker 1: good or bad. And l says, because hate doesn't disappear
Speaker 1: out and we got to consider the fact that America
Speaker 1: was built on racism.
Speaker 9: Mm hmmm mm hm.
Speaker 8: So I mean my figure is, why why do we
Speaker 8: want to go back to what it was built off
Speaker 8: of opposed to trying to make it better and you know,
Speaker 8: navigate through the ins and outs of what we learned
Speaker 8: from from back in history.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm mm hmm.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So yeah, it just I mean, like I said, I mean,
Speaker 8: I'm a little I guess you could say, a literate
Speaker 8: to the political conversation as of now. But the more
Speaker 8: time I get in, the more research and study I'll do,
Speaker 8: I'll be more you know, a wealthy quick for the
Speaker 8: in and out of it.
Speaker 9: But as right now, it's like I know a little bit,
Speaker 9: but I guess not enough to teach people.
Speaker 1: But you can teach or tell people what they're talking
Speaker 1: about because you are a brother. And I'm just curious
Speaker 1: when you talking to your other brothers, not excluding your
Speaker 1: friend that says they're voting because of the gun laws,
Speaker 1: why do you feel that some black men are opposed
Speaker 1: to voting for Kamala Harris and a lot of people
Speaker 1: who he's talking about, Well, she locked up a lot
Speaker 1: of people back when she was serving as a prosecutor
Speaker 1: or a public defender. One we got taking consideration that
Speaker 1: was her job, and then two. Now, don't quote me
Speaker 1: I read or heard, I can't remember, but from what
Speaker 1: I understand why she did put a lot of people
Speaker 1: behind bars. It was far less than her counterparts were doing.
Speaker 9: That's what I heard too.
Speaker 1: So we just fell to her because she is a
Speaker 1: black decid Yeah, but.
Speaker 9: The thing too. Nothing for my personal business up there
Speaker 9: like that. But growing up, I grew up. I have
Speaker 9: a nice amount of people that don't vote.
Speaker 8: Because we'll just say, they're more familiar we're inside the
Speaker 8: jail than outside, so they don't really vote.
Speaker 9: The other people that I.
Speaker 8: Have a conversation with that that that kind of don't
Speaker 8: want to vote for miss Harris, and for the simple
Speaker 8: fact that it's the female that will be running stuff
Speaker 8: and they don't like being told what to do by females.
Speaker 8: Me being a person I am, was raising the household
Speaker 8: for the females, and the most dominant person in the
Speaker 8: house for a while was a.
Speaker 9: Female, which is my mother. Raised us pretty well. She
Speaker 9: did what she was supposed to do. She did uh.
Speaker 9: She carried us how she could as a female. So
Speaker 9: I have no problem with taking orders and listening to
Speaker 9: a female.
Speaker 8: I mean, as I was raised by my grandparents's left,
Speaker 8: so you know, I'm a I just I just want to.
Speaker 9: Go for the you know, like I said, the person
Speaker 9: that's been through us and that to help us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just looking at a past comment that Elle said.
Speaker 1: She said, if a woman, more specifically a black woman
Speaker 1: is the better candidate for a job because she has
Speaker 1: not been convicted of a crime, she actually worked for
Speaker 1: the government, and she knows the public policies and legislation,
Speaker 1: then what are we talking about? What are we talking about?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 9: But I mean, I mean, for me, at the end
Speaker 9: of the day, I'm just trying to stay relevant.
Speaker 8: Like I said, you're taking an attention off of what
Speaker 8: even even now, I have a thing like when when
Speaker 8: we had when what was it Iran?
Speaker 9: And is me or have the two countries mixed up?
Speaker 8: But the word that the people that just done over
Speaker 8: to hundred missiles to the other country, Like who wants
Speaker 8: to continue to deal with that?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 9: I feel if we do end up with Trump, it'll
Speaker 9: just get worse hm hmm. And it's like why, why,
Speaker 9: why do we want to be in a.
Speaker 8: Worse situation opposed to making it making it a whole
Speaker 8: lot better, if that makes sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I hear a lot of people talking about well,
Speaker 1: at least I know the not so good part of
Speaker 1: Trump because he's coming face forward, and for some reason,
Speaker 1: a lot of piece people feel like, Okay, well, Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris must have got some stuff under her sleeve, in
Speaker 1: her jacket, in her pocket, under her hand.
Speaker 13: Well me, I don't want to go to a person
Speaker 13: knowing he's finish shoot me and I'm finna die. I
Speaker 13: rather go to the person that might not have that intention.
Speaker 13: I'm not gonna just go for fee knowing that's what
Speaker 13: you're gonna do.
Speaker 1: Okay, hmm, catch it.
Speaker 8: I mean, but that's just me at the end of
Speaker 8: the day, Like I want to see tomorrow, I don't
Speaker 8: want to be just you know, I hope he don't
Speaker 8: do it knowing he told me that's what he was
Speaker 8: gonna do.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, thank you for sharing. I'm about to call
Speaker 1: on Miss Felicia to see what she got to say.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, beerlle You know I appreciate you.
Speaker 1: Thank you for sticking by me any.

Speaker 14: of early, right, but I'm gonna trying to get there

Speaker 1: great perspective.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 1: I love hearing from a black man, just to know
Speaker 1: what other black brothers are feeling. Because for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: this whole idea of having a woman in charge, people
Speaker 1: ain't here for it. In fact, miss Felicia said, she said,
Speaker 1: they do not want a woman saying anything to them
Speaker 1: at all. So Elle says, so instead of choosing a woman,
Speaker 1: they prefer racist. This makes so much sense. That makes
Speaker 1: so much sense. Pun intended. That was a joke, y'all.
Speaker 1: Don't take that for real, because I mean, honestly, really,
Speaker 1: and you know, I have apologize folks that I'm headed
Speaker 1: to pie. I don't know to use the restaurant as Felicia, Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know what she said, Miss Mayan. Do I
Speaker 1: have your number because you might need to call me?
Speaker 1: I oh, you had it. I was like, well, real quick,
Speaker 1: just tell us real quick quick, what were your thoughts
Speaker 1: so far when people talking about voting. Oh, you gotta
Speaker 1: cut the screen down. Are you listening to me or
Speaker 1: to compute us? Well, I guess you're gonna all right. Well,
Speaker 1: these are the comments and these are the conversations that
Speaker 1: we are elevating. Miss Mayan. I don't believe I have
Speaker 1: your number, but if you like, I would love to
Speaker 1: hear your thoughts, your views, your opinions, and call me
Speaker 1: here in the studio. I'm gonna have the number at
Speaker 1: the bottom, but it's eight one eight four six one
Speaker 1: fifty four thirty two. Eight one, eight four six one
Speaker 1: fifty four thirty two. We know that the election is
Speaker 1: days away, less than a week, there are still folks
Speaker 1: that are in between that says, hey, I don't know
Speaker 1: who I want to vote for. In fact, we got
Speaker 1: miss Latasha who's worked at the post, who is on
Speaker 1: the ground, got our hands in the community, and she
Speaker 1: is saying that a lot of people have not showed
Speaker 1: up to vote. She says why because people are confused
Speaker 1: who to vote for. He says, well, if we know
Speaker 1: a woman, specifically a black woman, as a better candidate,
Speaker 1: what are we questioning things to think about. Right, the
Speaker 1: key answers that we need to invote. We need to
Speaker 1: have these conversations because these are going to affect our community.
Speaker 1: This is going to affect each and every one of us.
Speaker 1: And if we don't start elevating these conversations and people
Speaker 1: feeling like a safe base to express themselves, then where
Speaker 1: is that going to take us? Where is that going
Speaker 1: to lead us? I mean, it's no secret the conversations
Speaker 1: that we had when people were talking about it at
Speaker 1: that rally, and yet people are still okay with In fact,
Speaker 1: what was talking to the coworker earlier and el was
Speaker 1: on the phone. She asked, she said, well, how do
Speaker 1: you feel that he said that Puerto Rico looks like
Speaker 1: a piece of garbage floating in the ocean. L came
Speaker 1: back and said, well, you are a Mexican that can
Speaker 1: have been been very well talking about people that look
Speaker 1: like you, your family members, your brothers and sisters, and
Speaker 1: yet for whatever reasons, people still don't feel as though
Speaker 1: it is enough. But what is the shake of gonna
Speaker 1: become Wednesday morning, November three, when the tally has been counted.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna say a lot about us as
Speaker 1: a people. There will be no secret about who your
Speaker 1: neighbor is, what the business's intentions are, and heck, the
Speaker 1: direction in which this country is going. Oh it's going
Speaker 1: to be on the fifth. Wait, hell, what are you
Speaker 1: talking about? Are you saying the election day on the fifth?
Speaker 1: I'm trying to keep up with your comments and having
Speaker 1: my conversation. But yes, on Wednesday morning, the counting is
Speaker 1: on eleven six, Okay, so then we will have the
Speaker 1: results should be end not the fifth. The results should
Speaker 1: be end on the seventh. H what say you?
Speaker 9: You know?
Speaker 1: I was really interested. I don't know if anybody's watching.
Speaker 1: Is there anybody out there that is voting for Trump?
Speaker 1: I hope you know this is a safe space. Ain't
Speaker 1: nobody going to attacking you. But I do think it's
Speaker 1: important that we elevate the conversation as to why we
Speaker 1: are voting who we are voting for, because a change
Speaker 1: has to start, and we have to be the start
Speaker 1: of the change.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 1: So while I have these last few minutes before I
Speaker 1: wrap this up and head out of here, I want
Speaker 1: to let you know that the phone lines aren't open
Speaker 1: and I would love to hear from you if you
Speaker 1: have some last remarks or perhaps do you have some
Speaker 1: last words that you want to encourage people as to
Speaker 1: why they should get out and vote. Call me right
Speaker 1: now in the studio eight one eight four six one
Speaker 1: fifty four thirty two. Eight one eight four six one
Speaker 1: fifty four thirty two. I want to hear from you.
Speaker 1: In fact, let me sit here and call I got
Speaker 1: one of the person, Miss Wanda. Where you at, Miss Wanda?
Speaker 1: Are you still listening? I'm gonna call Miss Wanda right
Speaker 1: now because I am interested to hear what she has
Speaker 1: to say in regards to people and voting, what the
Speaker 1: community is saying, what does look like for the people.
Speaker 1: I really wish we had a contradictory viewpoint as to
Speaker 1: who to vote for. I'm calling Miss Wanta Honoree. I
Speaker 1: don't even know if she's available, if she's busy, but
Speaker 1: I figured I do want more call before I head
Speaker 1: out of here, because this is the last conversation that
Speaker 1: we have before we head out to the election. In fact, Hey,
Speaker 1: Miss Wanta, Hey, Hey, how you doing. I was just
Speaker 1: calling lastly before I head out of here. I wanted
Speaker 1: to know what your thoughts were in regards to the
Speaker 1: election and if you had any words of encouragement or
Speaker 1: something you'd like to say for people that are in
Speaker 1: between and do not know which candidate to vote for.
Speaker 2: M this is uh me saying this live.
Speaker 9: We're just saying this to you.
Speaker 1: Oh we live? You live?
Speaker 9: Are you you live?
Speaker 1: Listen what everybody? Because sir who hears it? Are we
Speaker 1: afraid to speak the truth?
Speaker 7: I just need to know what type of uh of
Speaker 7: laster conversations you know more or less?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 8: So yes?
Speaker 12: In terms of the election, I I really I hope
Speaker 12: that people pay more attention to the facts and do
Speaker 12: their research. Like the other lady said, I mean not
Speaker 12: that you obviously have a lot of time to do
Speaker 12: research at this point that but you should at least
Speaker 12: know more than what someone else told you about what
Speaker 12: you're going to do. And it's uh, it's unfortunate that
Speaker 12: they've already have a lot of of.
Speaker 9: Incidents that are happening.
Speaker 12: One of my friends set me a uh inst well,
Speaker 12: I think it was some kind of instagram that they
Speaker 12: had basically stone some incident that happened at the opposed
Speaker 12: in South Carolina where the the white voter didn't want
Speaker 12: to obey the rules and came in with the maga
Speaker 12: hat and it became a whole violent situation and there
Speaker 12: was a bunch of women although they stood their ground
Speaker 12: and uh, you know, and they were saying that, you know,
Speaker 12: we need to have the men supporting the women who
Speaker 12: were there, and law enforcement should be there. And I
Speaker 12: just left the store where it was interesting that the
Speaker 12: Hispanic owner, uh is voting for Trump? You so, because
Speaker 12: I don't know how I got how the conversation came up.
Speaker 12: So there's a lot of people who whatever reason that
Speaker 12: doesn't even make sense, they're voting for somebody who I
Speaker 12: don't know what good that they really leave is going
Speaker 12: to come out of the having him in the office,
Speaker 12: And it would be really unfortunate if we have to
Speaker 12: find out what that what will actually happen if he
Speaker 12: gets in, because he's pretty much telling us, you know,
Speaker 12: so you really don't have to wonder. He's pretty much
Speaker 12: telling you he's not coming out. And once he gets in,
Speaker 12: he's gonna put away everybody that he doesn't like, everybody
Speaker 12: that came against him, and he's going to do you
Speaker 12: know a lot of things reverse a lot of other
Speaker 12: things that we've been able to gain, and you know,
Speaker 12: the lesser if you want to call the lesser of
Speaker 12: the evils, which I don't believe that's a lesser the evil.
Speaker 12: I believe that you know that Kamala Horris is a
Speaker 12: viable candidate and will do a good job to make
Speaker 12: sure that this country gets back on track. But even
Speaker 12: if you just decide that you know you don't like
Speaker 12: either candidate, will suck it up and do like the
Speaker 12: Republicans do and vote Democrats. I mean, that's that's what
Speaker 12: they do. So you know what he does, and you know,
Speaker 12: like you said, he kills somebody.
Speaker 9: And they still going to vote for him.
Speaker 12: So you know, we need to be thinking about that
Speaker 12: because if they're that strong about their candidate and we're
Speaker 12: not standing behind our candidate, then when we get the
Speaker 12: other candidate in, another candidate is kicking our butt.
Speaker 2: There's really nothing we.
Speaker 7: Have to say.
Speaker 12: So I just hope everybody you know goes out and
Speaker 12: votes and hopefully votes the right way. And if you
Speaker 12: don't vote for the presidential elections, please vote for the
Speaker 12: local so that you know you make sure that the
Speaker 12: persons that are going to make the immediate decisions are
Speaker 12: going to be put in office that's gonna benefit you
Speaker 12: and you know and just pray that the outcome is
Speaker 12: going to be something that will benefit our country and
Speaker 12: that we won't have a lot of craziness afterwards.
Speaker 4: So that's my words.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you so much, mss Wanda, No problem,
Speaker 1: all right, I'll talk to you all right. Well, how
Speaker 1: do you feel? How does this make you feel? What
Speaker 1: are with thoughts? What are we thinking?
Speaker 2: Ms?
Speaker 1: Mayan says, So, what do you think about people that
Speaker 1: says they they don't like either candidate? Me? Personally? Are
Speaker 1: we talking about everybody? I think that there's power and
Speaker 1: choice and you got to exercise that choice, and then
Speaker 1: I would explore or inform them to say, let's let's
Speaker 1: have a conversation so we can talk about the things
Speaker 1: you like and what you don't like. But I feel
Speaker 1: like that's the thing that's that's boiling down in general.
Speaker 1: So ms Mayan said, this goes out to everybody. What
Speaker 1: would you say to somebody that doesn't like either candidate?
Speaker 1: I'm going to try to call this one other brother.
Speaker 1: He doesn't know that we're on the air, but let
Speaker 1: me see if I can get ganging. You don't even
Speaker 1: know about to call them. You don't know the number
Speaker 1: that I'm calling him from let me see. This could
Speaker 1: be a check calling, This could be a whole check. Hello, Genghis, Hello, Hello?

Speaker 1: talk a good game, you know back it up. And
Speaker 1: this was not in a space of badgering anybody about
Speaker 1: making a decision of who they vote for. We just
Speaker 1: need to have the conversation, even if it's opposing views,
Speaker 1: as to why you standing on your view, because if
Speaker 1: you want to be better and see better, you got
Speaker 1: to be able to do better and you only can
Speaker 1: do that by showing up. Now el she's a proud
Speaker 1: Africa Afro Latina. She says, my folk and my homestay
Speaker 1: are banded together. Especially out of the Puerto Rican comments
Speaker 1: from Sunday's rally, the Mexicans in La really need to
Speaker 1: do better. And she's specifically talking about a conversation having
Speaker 1: with a coworker of mine here at the studio, how
Speaker 1: we gonna do better if we don't know better, if
Speaker 1: we don't do our research. But I appreciate each and
Speaker 1: every one of you that have made a comment, that
Speaker 1: have called in or allowed me to call in and
Speaker 1: decided to respond, to allow your voice to be heard
Speaker 1: because change has got to come and that change has
Speaker 1: a star with us. So with that being said, I
Speaker 1: want you to be out there voting. I don't want
Speaker 1: to interrupt anybody. It's going to be an interesting situation
Speaker 1: come next Tuesday, on November fifth. But nevertheless, I will
Speaker 1: be back on November seventh, and by then we will
Speaker 1: have the verdict in about who the presidents are. We
Speaker 1: should have it at that time, and I'm interested to
Speaker 1: hear what your results are going to be. Holds on
Speaker 1: this might be ganghis Hello, ganghus Is, hello, can you
Speaker 1: hear me?
Speaker 15: I can, and you shouldn't hear any background noise that
Speaker 15: I'm in a quiet space.
Speaker 1: Okay, I know I sprung up on you surprisingly, but
Speaker 1: that you know what doing day. You never know what
Speaker 1: you're gonna get really rightly right, I got you live
Speaker 1: on the podcast. I wanted to hear thoughts, especially for
Speaker 1: my black brothers, when it comes down to the election,
Speaker 1: who you are voting for and why? And what are
Speaker 1: the brothers say that you're in community with?
Speaker 9: Okay, excellent question.
Speaker 15: Timely is the very important. All elections are important, but
Speaker 15: obviously this one is very pivotal and it's upon us
Speaker 15: on Tuesday, November fifth. With all due respect, I typically
Speaker 15: don't express who I'm voting for, versus the fact that
Speaker 15: I definitely will be voting. I've determined it to be
Speaker 15: symbolic and uh something that is a is an imperative
Speaker 15: for me as a black man as well as others.
Speaker 9: So I'm more so promote. I promote go out and vote.
Speaker 15: Your choice is your choice, but do vote that the
Speaker 15: acting and of itself is symbolic and significant to our people,
Speaker 15: and I plan to participate. Last part I would think
Speaker 15: about because I I am very family oriented. I think
Speaker 15: about my late uh grandparents and late parents who voted and.
Speaker 9: What they may have had to deal with with just
Speaker 9: to vote.
Speaker 15: So it is a moral imperative, cultural obligation, family obligation
Speaker 15: vote national and local elections.
Speaker 9: So I'm looking forward to Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's it is that it. You're not gonna say
Speaker 1: nothing that the other brothers have been talking about as
Speaker 1: far as.
Speaker 9: Well my circle of brothers.
Speaker 15: You know, I can't speak for each and it, but
Speaker 15: the collective sentiment is that they understand, they understand the moment,
Speaker 15: they understand the significance of voting. I don't have too
Speaker 15: many people in my circle who look at the privilege
Speaker 15: to vote and say, no, that's not something I wish
Speaker 15: to do. We have a fundamental understanding from my just
Speaker 15: circle of friends growing up in Los Angeles and Compton
Speaker 15: and beyond, as well as my fraternity brothers of OMEGASID
Speaker 15: Foxtorney Incorporated.
Speaker 9: We understand the historic moment to vote.
Speaker 15: It's a responsibility that we all take very dearly, and
Speaker 15: we plan to execute our decision to vote on Tuesday,
Speaker 15: November fifth four.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you so much, genghis.
Speaker 9: No problem at all, no problem, thank you for.

Speaker 15: into the polls on Tuesday the fifth.

Speaker 1: no doubt, no doubt.
Speaker 9: I appreciate the call.
Speaker 1: Absolutely on whatever, I don't mean to hang up. I
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be hold you. I got a littlennoy because
Speaker 1: my thing is is why why are we Why are
Speaker 1: people a polls of stating wool you're voting for? We
Speaker 1: have the right to our views, thoughts and opinion. That
Speaker 1: was so piecing. But you know, I can't say and
Speaker 1: I understand I heard him now, I don't understand what
Speaker 1: my aunt talk A good big game, No, no, offense. Aunt, Jeanie,
Speaker 1: love you much, but God, dog, you know we got
Speaker 1: to make sure that we up level this conversation. Ell says,
Speaker 1: that's a personal choice. Though it is I understand, but
Speaker 1: I'm just saying. I'm just saying, I guess you don't
Speaker 1: have to scream and shot everything, but I guess what
Speaker 1: something so important is this and we know that this
Speaker 1: can be an impact. You are selecting somebody that's going
Speaker 1: to amplify your voice. Let your voice be heard if
Speaker 1: you have been silenced, especially if you are part of
Speaker 1: any particular community, Let your voice be heard. Elle says
Speaker 1: it's a personal choice, but he did mention he's part
Speaker 1: of the D nine organization. I mean, I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: surprised if there were some individal Jews that came for
Speaker 1: and didn't go the thoughtful way, because Vice President Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris is part of the Divine nine organization. So hey,
