So I wanted to bring this 175 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 6: up because I definitely need your take on this situation. 176 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, a great shoulder we had on private versus public 177 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 4: on Tezon tan on Revolt with doctor Steve Perry and 178 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 4: Garrett Chambers are really really robust debate and I am 179 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 4: always in conversation with doctor Perry about school choice is 180 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 4: something we talk about all the time. And one thing 181 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 4: he always talks about is school choice is just that 182 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 4: it's not saying and get rid of public schools and 183 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 4: public schools of trash. 184 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 2: It's simply giving another option. 185 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 4: And we always have the conversation about what about people 186 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 4: that don't have the option, you know, they're not able 187 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 4: to take their kids on the other side of town, 188 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 4: or what if they're not able to you know, And 189 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 4: he says, it's not anti public, it is just giving 190 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 4: another choice. And he is a firm believer that black 191 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 4: students should be taught by black teachers and that there 192 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 4: should be for example, like what we just talked about 193 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 4: with the other story with the police brutality or whatever 194 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 4: that is. You know that it does make a difference 195 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 4: on the success rate and that they typically do very 196 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 4: well in these private schools or charter schools, you know settings. 197 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 4: And I told him, you know, there's people that disagree 198 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 4: with that as well. So we always go round and 199 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 4: a round with this, but this is certainly not undermining. 200 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 2: The public school. Public schools will be there. They are there. 201 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 4: If people want to attend that they can. But let's 202 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 4: not discourage anybody from giving money to educate folks. I 203 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 4: just think people just look for stuff to complain about. 204 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,719 Speaker 4: I understand the overall thing, but come on, let's let 205 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 4: him in this and sending kids to school, that's crazy. 206 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 2: So I'm with you.

The legislation aims 216 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 6: to increase educational opportunities for underprivileged youth attending the state's 217 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 6: lowest performing public schools. So shout out to all philanthropists 218 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,839 Speaker 6: out there that are pouring money into the community so 219 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 6: that children can have a better future. 220 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,719 Speaker 4: And where everybody else sitting up talking. By the way, 221 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 4: this is why jay Z and Beyonce don't like telling people. 222 00:10:59,679 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 2: What they do. 223 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 4: They do a lot, they do a whole lot that 224 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 4: they don't share, and this is why they don't share it, 225 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 4: like just do it and go on. We don't see 226 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 4: nobody else doing this, so shut out to them. I 227 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 4: just don't see a negative behind it at all. 228 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 6: About it says, just you give me put some more 229 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 6: information out there. It says the organization say eligibility for 230 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 6: students would be dependent on household income. The past program 231 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 6: is slated to offer varying scholarship amounts, such as two 232 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 6: five hundred dollars for half day kindergarten students, five thousand 233 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 6: dollars for K through eight grades, ten thousand dollars four 234 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 6: grades nine through twelve, and fifteen thousand dollars for students 235 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 6: with special needs. I think that's great. It says the 236 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 6: funds would be fulfilled by the government and would not 237 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 6: reduce the overall budget to public school education programming. So 238 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 6: it seems like, you know, local government and Rock Nation, 239 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 6: they're coming together to organize to bring more resources to 240 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 6: children in Philadelphia. I used to I started out teaching 241 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 6: in Philadelphia, believe it or not. And there are wonderful 242 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 6: public schools, wonderful magnet schools in Philly. There weren't as 243 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 6: many charter schools in Philly when I was there, But 244 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 6: a lot of very elite private schools and children should 245 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 6: have access to those in my opinion. 246 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 4: Mm hm, Well shut out to him and what they're doing, 247 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 4: and hey, I respect it, while a lot of people 248 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 4: are sitting up talking doing nothing at also shut out 249 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 4: to that. 250 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 2: What else we got, Well. 251 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 6: We have a story. I don't know if you heard 252 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 6: about this test. A judge in Trump's hush money trial 253 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 6: flagged a Facebook post that claimed insight into jury deliberations. 254 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 6: So there was someone on social media that made a. 255 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 2: Facebook be anybody, Yeah right, it could be. 256 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 5: Anybody, all right. 257 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 6: He looked looked like a white dude with a bunch 258 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 6: of tattoos with long hair. That's a photo that I saw. 259 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 6: But then again, there's so much information and misinformation out there. However, 260 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 6: what we do know is that this individual made a 261 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 6: claim that their cousin was a juror on this most 262 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 6: recent Trump trial, the hush money Stormy Daniel's trial, where 263 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 6: Trump was found guilty on thirty four accounts felony counts 264 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 6: of fraud. This individual claimed that their cousin was a 265 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 6: durer and had insider information that Trump was going to 266 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 6: be found guilty, and this post was supposedly was made 267 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 6: the day before the verdict actually came out, and so 268 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 6: the judge in the hush money trial case had to 269 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 6: flag this and let folks Knowdge Judge Juan Marshan I 270 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 6: called a merchant, but I think his name is Mershan. 271 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 6: He presided over the case. He had to inform the prosecutors. 272 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 6: And of course a lot of folks had things to 273 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 6: say about this on social media, Oh it was a 274 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 6: witch hunt. 275 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 5: Oh, the jurors really can information. 276 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 6: And then other folks were saying that this is probably 277 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 6: just a hope. 278 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 5: It's in my opinion, too soon to tell. 279 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 6: A thorough investigation needs to take place. However, if in 280 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 6: fact a juror actually did leak information about a verdict 281 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 6: in this case, then of course the case could get 282 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 6: thrown out. I know that Trump's team, I know that 283 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 6: they're putting their heads together. I'm sure to get these 284 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 6: verdicts overturn and claim some type of foul play happening. 285 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 6: But I wanted to bring this up because a lot 286 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 6: of like this Judge Marshwan's letter and these social media 287 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 6: posts were actually trending a lot in the past few days. 288 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: M h. 289 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 6: Yeah. 290 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 4: You know, there's always gonna be something trying to fight. 291 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 4: You know, attorneys have to Uh, if they don't challenge 292 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 4: every and anything, you know, they can be it can 293 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 4: later be a problem, you know, down the road. So 294 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 4: anything that comes up that attorney got to look into 295 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 4: or ask a judge to looking to, even if it 296 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 4: seems ridiculous, you just have to, you know, so that way, 297 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 4: if you need to appeal or anything happen, you know 298 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 4: you've done your due diligence. So I expect to see, 299 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 4: you know, more stuff come up and we'll just see. 300 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 2: If it gets anywhere.

So also speaking of Trump. 309 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 2: Says always Trump, Trump is just everywhere. 310 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 5: Dominate, just dominate. 311 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 2: The head dominates the news. 312 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 4: And I mean people are saying, well, you always talk 313 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 4: about Trump because that's what's in the news. We talk 314 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 4: about the news, and he does a damn good job 315 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 4: of making sure that he's in the news constantly, twenty 316 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 4: four hours a day. And people don't have to like it. 317 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 4: But it's actually a pretty smart strategy because what we're 318 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 4: not talking about is what Biden is doing because they don't. 319 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 4: They just can't seem to break through that news cycle. 320 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 4: So go ahead, what else we got on the Trump 321 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 4: Dockett Today? 322 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 2: We got the Trump Dockett. 323 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 5: On the Trump Dockett. 324 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 6: There's a new account, according to the Associated Press, a 325 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 6: new account rekindles allegations that Trump disrespected black people on 326 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 6: The Apprentice.

Luck some time they wait to 337 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 2: remember they said that about puff. 338 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 4: No, we don't know, because something they like to wait 339 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 4: and drop stuff, you know when they at the time 340 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 4: it is right because remember this this guy's just now 341 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 4: having a chance to speak, So we can't say we 342 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 4: were heard about now. It might come at now. I 343 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 4: don't know, because remember Amrosa, I don't remember. She dropped 344 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 4: some hints about how he had said some things, and 345 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,199 Speaker 4: how she knew where the bodies were and the skeleton were. 346 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised if Rosa won't have nothing. Even 347 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,880 Speaker 4: though she'd have nothing to do with this, she got 348 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 4: something because she she dropped several hints. You know a 349 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 4: lot of times I'm saying, yo, yeah, just because just 350 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 4: so we ain't heard it, don't mean it's not a record. 351 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 4: And sometimes you know, they'll do use it as a shakedown. 352 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 4: So I don't know. I'm just curious, you know, because 353 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 4: you had cameras around, you know, So I'm just curious. 354 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 6: Yes, So according to that associated price, I just give 355 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 6: a little bit more information. Gene Folks had just been 356 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 6: jettisoned as a contestant on The Apprentice, and what's commiserating 357 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 6: with a crew member at a bar inside the lobby 358 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 6: of Trump's tower. He was indignan, and not just at 359 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 6: having been kicked off the reality show. After Donald Trump 360 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 6: delivered the fame of his words, You're a fire. You know, 361 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 6: the contestants were saying that they were being mistreated as 362 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 6: a crew member. A black woman who worked as a 363 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 6: contestant manager consoled this guy, mister folks, and suddenly Trump 364 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,120 Speaker 6: appeared at the bar. Quote this is what the dude said. 365 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 6: He came up and asked me, is this your woman? 366 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 6: Because you two will really make a great couple. You 367 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,719 Speaker 6: both have the same background, meaning that they were both black. Okay, 368 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 6: So I guess he was, you know, offended by that. 369 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 6: And here's another quote from this article. Quote he said, again, 370 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 6: it's not like I used the N word. And then 371 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 6: he walked off and that was that. So that's just 372 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 6: one instance of Trump allegedly being inappropriate racially with contestants 373 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 6: on the View. There are other allegations of excusing me, 374 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 6: not the View, the Apprentice, the Apprentice, the Apprentice. So 375 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 6: we shall hear more by this man. But he's coming 376 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 6: forward and saying that Trump abused him and mistreated him 377 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 6: while he was on the Apprentice and disrespected black folks. 378 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 6: Now also on the Trump docket, since you asked, test Trump, 379 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 6: Trump made a comment claiming that he likened himself to 380 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 6: Abraham Lincoln. Right, So he basically said, now let me 381 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 6: get think he's. 382 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 2: Done that before too, But go ahead. 383 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 4: I don't think that's his first time. I think so, 384 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 4: because I think he's just somebody he would have proud. 385 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 4: Don't know, I wouldn't be surprised, But go ahead, because 386 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 4: you know he quick to compare himself something. 387 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 2: But what did he say this time? I just want 388 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 2: to get that before. 389 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 6: So the headline here from the Atlanta Black Star Shout 390 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 6: Out to Them, says, does he's believed he's our white savior? 391 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 6: Donald Trump shocks black Twitter after claiming he's the quote 392 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 6: best president for black people since Abraham Lincoln. So that 393 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 6: was the comment, He's the best president for black people 394 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 6: since Graham Lincoln. I don't know why these white presidential 395 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 6: candidates say stuff like this. I mean, I just want 396 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 6: to rewind it back a little bit. Remember when Biden 397 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 6: went on the Breakfast Club and claimed, if you don't 398 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 6: vote for me, you ain't black. 399 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 2: So I guess this was. 400 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 5: Trump's moment of doing that. So former Trump. 401 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 6: Former President Donald Trump is standing tenth Too's down that 402 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 6: he is the black community's political savior while continuing his 403 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 6: pursuit of the Oval office. He announced his second bid 404 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 6: for reelection in November, and right now he's saying he's 405 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 6: going to make America great again. And part of his 406 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 6: campaign propagain is to win minority votes. Has been to 407 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 6: position himself as the politician committed to improving the lives 408 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 6: of black people. So he's attracted. The article is talking 409 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 6: about how he's attracted other black celebrities, and in the 410 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 6: recent speech, he definitely said, quote, I'm the best president 411 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 6: for black people since Abraham Lincoln, and people black people 412 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 6: are seeing that in quote declared Trump. He has previously 413 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 6: juxtaposed his racially motivated political efforts in comparison to Abraham Lincoln. 414 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 6: Test to your point, so he has he has. 415 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 2: Mentioned had a slave. By the way, Everyham. 416 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 5: Definitely has slaves. 417 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 6: But just so you know, because I think Trump is 418 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 6: getting a lot of cloud from some black celebrities. We 419 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 6: know that fifty cent was on Capitol Hill meeting with 420 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 6: members of the CBC talking about his liquor bran and 421 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 6: we talked about that recently, but you know, he said 422 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 6: that a lot of black folks are siding with Trump 423 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 6: or they're supporting Trump because he got reco charges that 424 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 6: they feel like, you know, black people can. 425 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 2: Relate to that. 426 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 6: I whatever, But yeah, Trump is getting a lot of 427 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 6: cloud from black celebrities, and I think that he's trying 428 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 6: to use that to his advantage to say, see, look, hey, 429 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 6: all coming over here to me. 430 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 2: Of course, are using it. 431 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 4: And Biden and them don't have nothing to really count 432 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 4: because they used celebrities the last time and the time 433 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 4: before that and got the celebrities kind of looking the 434 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 4: food because a lot of the stuff they said they 435 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 4: was gonna do they didn't do. And now have you 436 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 4: noticed you haven't seen a lot of celebrities out talking 437 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 4: about Biden like you normally do. Maybe they will closer 438 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 4: to We'll keep an eye on that, but you know, 439 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 4: normally there's a whole slew of like celebrities really pushing, pushing, pushing. 440 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 4: You've seen your John legends and everything you know here 441 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 4: and there, but for the most part, you have not 442 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 4: seen a big entourage of celebrities like the way they 443 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 4: did the first time with Hillary Clinton, uh, and then 444 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 4: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. 445 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 2: There was a lot of shit. 446 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 4: If we just say now, just the women that was 447 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 4: pushing for Kamala Harris, A lot of those same women 448 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 4: if you were to asked him pushed today would not 449 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 4: so that Biden. 450 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 2: They just in a lot of trouble. 451 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 4: And I just think people there was an article I 452 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 4: think you and I shared about the influence that celebrities 453 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 4: have nowadays, and they just really just don't have any 454 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 4: bottom line. People don't want to hear who what you tell, 455 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 4: what you should be doing and not doing, and legig 456 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 4: is a you know. I think celebrities do a great 457 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,959 Speaker 4: job getting people's attention to pay attention to certain things. 458 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 4: But until celebrities work, would actual organize on the ground 459 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 4: they kill him. I can I talk about all the 460 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 4: time to retain people year round, to make sure people 461 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,479 Speaker 4: are educated year around. People are just tired of you 462 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 4: popping up every four years telling people how to vote. 463 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 2: They really are. So I just don't think it holds 464 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 2: that much weight as people think it that it should. 465 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 6: And people aren't being vocal, in my opinion or honest 466 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 6: publicly about Biden's benign the black on black issues, And 467 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 6: I think that I mean, at this point, it's just 468 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,959 Speaker 6: kind of embarrassing. It's like, why would they step up 469 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 6: and try to shame people into voting for Biden anymore 470 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 6: when he's just definitely not like he doesn't give a 471 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 6: damn about the black vote, and he's made that pretty clear. 472 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 4: Yes, So what people are saying is they're basically saying 473 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 4: behind the scenes I'm not gonna endure some I'm not 474 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 4: gonna push them, but I'm not gonna hurt them. So 475 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,959 Speaker 4: that's why they just silent, just radio silent.

It's about organizing, training, getting people 494 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 4: in place. 495 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 2: That's that's what I do. 496 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 4: Endorsing and who he's supporting all of that mm hmm, 497 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 4: looking like Charlem Mayne, looking like, yeah, I endorse Charlne 498 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 4: in now what because they're embarrassed people that did all 499 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 4: been bottom campaigns behind Kamala Harrison, all of that. Amanda too, remember. 500 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 2: She was yeah all the bo listen. 501 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 6: I got off of Facebook because people were so they 502 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 6: were pissing me off so much, you know, leading up 503 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 6: to the election. Oh you should just support Kamala Harris 504 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 6: because she's a black woman. Now is not the time. 505 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 6: The country's in trouble. We can't do four more years 506 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 6: of Trump. Like all of that voter shaming was just 507 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 6: absolutely ridiculous, and now people have their foot in their 508 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 6: mouths because guess what test. This brings us to our 509 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 6: next story. The jobless rates in America have risen in 510 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 6: May for every single racial group except for white Americans. 511 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 6: So according to this article coming out of CNBC, it 512 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 6: says the unemployment rate for white Americans was held steady 513 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 6: from April to May, but it increased the joblessness rate 514 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 6: increased for everyone else. White unemployment remains at three point 515 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 6: five percent, making the demographic of white folks the only 516 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 6: one that didn't a joblessness rates between April and May. 517 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 6: It also went against the overall unemployment rate, which edge 518 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 6: higher than four percent to from four percent from three 519 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 6: point nine percent. And it says that the jobless rate 520 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 6: for Black Americans rolls to six point one percent at first, 521 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 6: you know, before April it was at five point six percent, 522 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 6: so now it's at six point one percent. And the 523 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 6: jobless rate for Asian and Hispanic workers respective, respectively, rolls 524 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 6: as well. So everybody's catching hell. And it says specifically 525 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 6: with black men, they saw their unemployment rate jump from 526 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 6: five point two percent to six point four percent, and 527 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 6: black women saw it increase from five percent to five 528 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 6: point two percent in joblessness. So Biden has a lot 529 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 6: to answer for as well. In terms of the economy, 530 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 6: I don't know, like I see conflicting reports all the time. 531 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 6: He says that the economy is doing great, and then 532 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 6: you look at some of the numbers, it's like, actually, no, 533 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 6: it's not doing as great. And also there's still there's 534 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 6: still a disparities. You know, wh wh White Americans are 535 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 6: the group that continues to get all the resources and stuff, 536 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 6: and you know, it's it's it's a shame that his administration. 537 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 6: You know, they're heavily reliant on the so called minority 538 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 6: or non white vote to get elected, but nothing is 539 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 6: being done specifically, especially for black Americans. 540 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 2: So the dispairits is gonna be there. 541 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 4: I don't expect the disparities like to just go away, 542 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 4: you know, I think they'll always be there. But when 543 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 4: you have somebody like Joe Biden that said black people, 544 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 4: I owe you, and you know, put it. 545 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 2: Literally said it. 546 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 4: Even Barack Obama didn't say that, but literally said I 547 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 4: owe you black people. And if we don't, if they're 548 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 4: not seeing you, make an effort, if nothing else, trying 549 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 4: every chance you get. I'm trying to do this. I'm 550 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 4: trying to do that. They're not letting me d da 551 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 4: da da, you know what I mean, instead of just 552 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:44,360 Speaker 4: blowing off. 553 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 2: So a lot of this has just been just they audacity. 554 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 4: If it's just how he's even handled black people, you know, 555 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 4: immediately going in the office telling now Sharpton and all 556 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 4: of them that went to the meeting that hey, y'all 557 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 4: need to follow the leader of the Hispanic community because 558 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 4: they the ones is gonna be running. 559 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 2: So it's just how he It's just how he handled 560 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 2: it too. You know. 561 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 4: They said that inflation, it's gonna take a year or 562 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 4: two the feeling, and they said next year, everything's gonna 563 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 4: feel good, feel better, no matter. 564 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 2: Who's in office. 565 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 4: So if Trump's in office, Trump's gonna say, oh, I'm 566 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 4: the one that brought it back. If Biden's inn office, 567 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 4: he'll say, see, I told you it was eventually coming back. 568 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 2: So I don't know. 569 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 4: I just know that people are still hurting, and I 570 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,199 Speaker 4: know there is a big gap between the half and 571 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 4: the have nots. In the middle class, it's disappearing every day. 572 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 4: It's either you're really really poor, you're really really rich, 573 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 4: and the rich people don't have a damn clue. And 574 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 4: I know as far as organizers and activists are concerned. 575 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 4: People are tired, the energy is gone, the fire is 576 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 4: you know, dwindling every day, and people have gotten complacent 577 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 4: and got brought back to sleep. And I don't know 578 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 4: what to say, Jay, you know, I don't want to 579 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 4: end this on a negative note, you know, but I'm 580 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 4: just you know, I try to be as positive I 581 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,959 Speaker 4: can as optimisias can to say, you know, it's up 582 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 4: to us to make a difference. I believe all those things, 583 00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 4: but I am just sorely disappointed and leadership and what 584 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 4: they're doing to make sure that we are prepared and 585 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 4: in a better position than we were last year, just 586 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 4: based on what I've seen. Again, I haven't seen it all. 587 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 4: That's just my one experience, but we are really really 588 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 4: when it comes to local and state we are really 589 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 4: not doing an effective job. And that's one reason why, 590 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 4: and hopefully, you know, I'll have more information on that soon, 591 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 4: but why. I'm really really trying to get involved with 592 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 4: some local governments because I, for myself, Jade, just for 593 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 4: me to stay in the game, I gotta get I 594 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 4: gotta do more locally because I'm even getting discouraged from 595 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 4: this national conversation this federal conversation. 596 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 2: Congress is broken, it just is. 597 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 4: Neither party is gonna let either any either one get 598 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:44,959 Speaker 4: anything done. 599 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 2: We're going to be ruled by executive order. By the way, 600 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 2: We've got to mention this. 601 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 4: I pushed and pushed and pushed and pushed and pushed 602 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 4: for executive order for George Floyd criminal justice reform. Everybody 603 00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 4: said no, no, no, we can't do it. It got to 604 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 4: go through Congress. Let's do it the right way. The 605 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 4: Republic's gonna change it back. Well, turns out he do 606 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 4: know how to use executive order. He did it for immigration, 607 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 4: but did not do it for George for Justice's police snack. 608 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 4: And yes, Trump is gonna reverse it back if he 609 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 4: get in, and they're gonna reverse it back if we 610 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 4: put it in. 611 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 2: But that's where we are, Jade. 612 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 4: Every president gotta put what they put on the table 613 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 4: and get it reversed back. And if you don't want 614 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 4: to get a reverse back, then keep on electing the 615 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 4: president of your choice. So until Democrats learn and start 616 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 4: strong arming and get out of this bipartisand. 617 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 2: We gotta get along. We gotta heal America. 618 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 4: All this shit that Joe Biden was talking about when 619 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 4: he came in, nothing's gonna get done. You have to 620 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 4: We are in a new time, and you must operate 621 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 4: like a gangster, because that's exactly what Trump is doing 622 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 4: and everybody under him, under that Project twenty twenty five, 623 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 4: they are moving like straight gangsters. 624 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,719 Speaker 2: And I just Democrats are just not equipped.
