14
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: a task. If you want to attempt to do something,

Speaker 1: and and and understand going in that that the if

16
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,680

Speaker 1: to better your position, to better your relationship, your family, anything,

Speaker 1: you're trying to be a better you. You're trying to

00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: make more money, you're trying to get it together, you're

20
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,760

00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: your hopes and dreams. Know this right here, you are

22
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: about to face some challenges. But you might as well

23
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: go ahead anyway and face those challenges, because if you don't,

24
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: you have a whole other set of challenges to face.

25
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,839
Speaker 1: You know. It's a it's a It's an amazing thing. Man,

26
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: How people sit around and they watch other people strike

27
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: out to become successful. They sit in the stands watching

28
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: these people play out these games, and they and they,

29
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: and they criticize, They boo, they laugh at their efforts

30
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: and everything, and they talk about the fairies. He missed

31
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: that game when it shot. Boy, he sucked. Man, he

32
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: did this. He ain't worth that. I hear people who

33
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: sit and stands who criticize people who are out there

34
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: on the playing field. Now, when you're on the playing field,

35
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: you have a set of challenges in front of you.

36
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: You're going to be open to criticism. You're going to

37
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: be open to ridicule. You're going to be talked about

38
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: when you don't know the people who are talking about you.

39
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: Now here's the upside to being the player on the

40
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: field that's facing all the challenges, to criticisms, the laughing,

41
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: the joke, to being talked about. He has something going

42
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: for him. This person, boy, woman, child, girl, man has

43
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: an opportunity to win. They have an opportunity to win.

44
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: And then the game of life. Just because you lose

45
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: one of the games, or you lose one of the matches,

46
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: it don't mean you've lost. You don't get put out.

47
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: You keep playing. When you're playing, here's the upside. You

48
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to win. And but guess what, You're

49
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: gonna win some of the matches. You're gonna win some

50
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: of the points. You're gonna make some of the dunks.

51
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: You're gonna hit some of them over the wall. You're

52
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: gonna hit some of them out the park. You're gonna

53
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: score some goals. You will if you're playing the game.

54
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: Here's the problem with the people who don't face the criticism,

55
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: who nobody boos or cheers for, who sits in the

56
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:38,239
Speaker 1: stands and knows neither victory nor defeat. Those people, without

57
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: realizing it, are facing a set of challenges also. And

58
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: the challenges they're facing is how I'm gonna live with myself,

59
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: What I'm gonna do? Now, what direction am I going in?

60
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: Where am I gonna live? Wonder what job will hire me?

61
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: Wonder if I can get paid for criticize. Oh woe

62
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: is me? I can't find the purpose in my life.

63
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: And man, I'm just waking up in a state of confusion.

64
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. Now, let me ask

65
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: you something which one of them said, of challenges you

66
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: rather be faced with. Because if I'm on the flow playing,

67
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: if I'm on the field playing, if I'm out on

68
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: the court playing, then guess what I got a chance

69
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: at winning? But guess what I'm doing every day while

70
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm playing. I'm strategizing. I'm waking up with a purpose.

71
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: I'm waking up trying to come up with another angle.

72
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: I'm in pursuit of a goal every single day, versus

73
00:06:54,360 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: the people in the stands who know neither victory nor defeat.

74
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: Get in the game. Face the challenges. Better yourself, better

75
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: your wife, better your children, better your condition, better your

76
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,679
Speaker 1: employment status, better your job, better your career. Take a shot.

77
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: Come on, man, what you're waiting on? Because the alternative

78
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: is to watch other people play the game? You know?

79
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: And I just do Sometimes Sometimes I just I get

80
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: Forbes magazine or Money magazine, or sometimes I still grab

81
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: a copy of rob Report. I just flipped through it.

82
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: Just to see. I used to get these this book

83
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: called Unique Homes. Unique Homes is a magazine that just

84
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: has a lot of extravagant houses that's on sale across

85
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: the country, across the world. I used to just flipped through. Man,

86
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: let me just see, man, what the people that's playing

87
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: the game out there doing. Stop watching other people become

88
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: successful when you could very easily be you if you

89
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: make the decision. But when you make the decision to

90
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: become successful, get ready for a series of challenges. I

91
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: think it's more difficult not to accept the challenge. I

92
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: think it's for me. This is just for me. It

93
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: may not be the case for you. For me, I

94
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: think it's far more difficult to wake up and just

95
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: see how life gonna go today, because, man, it could

96
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: just deal you any kind of hand today. You understand,

97
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: I don't like, you know, spades. Let's let's talk a

98
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: card game, folks, the game of spades. Really, man, it

99
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: ain't a whole lot you can do if you don't

100
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: get no spades. Really, it's a little couple of little

101
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: strategies you're gonna do. But you can have all this

102
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: age keen, queen diamond all you want, but man, you

103
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: ain't got no spades. They're cutting them. You're in trouble.

104
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: Be it whist. Different game. You can create what's in

105
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: your hand. You got dealt a hand too, But you

106
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: can create a hand. You can call a trump. You

107
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: can make diamonds your spades. You can make it hard

108
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: to clubs your spades. That's what I'm saying. That's what

109
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: it is. You can do something with it. It's a

110
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: different game, man. You can strategize. I would rather have

111
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: a say so in my life than to wake up

112
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: every day and just see how it's going. I think

113
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: it's more difficult to not accept the challenge to be

114
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: something than it is to accept the challenge to be something.

115
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: I think it's more difficult to sit around and not

116
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: be nothing. I think it's harder to watch everybody's life

117
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: going somewhere but mine. I think it would be very

118
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: difficult for me to sit here and hear them talking

119
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: about other people and never mention my name. I would

120
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: be difficult for me to see everybody rise and getting

121
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: promotions accept me. That would be difficult for me. It

122
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: may not be for you, but for me it would

123
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: be quite challenging. I would rather accept the challenge of

124
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: making something out of my life than to sit there

125
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: and criticize those and then watch and see how my

126
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: life just may go. Okay, just a thought today you're listening,

127
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 1: tow ladies and gentlemen. Here it is. It's time. It's

128
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: the Steve Harvey Morning Show where we were bringing you

129
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:14,599
Speaker 1: information today, try to inform you, enlighten you. Um not

Speaker 1: a lot of entertainment. I'm just gonna be honest with you, man,

131
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 1: I'm just it's it's just a lot going on right now.

132
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: But we're here to keep you informed and enlighten best

133
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: we can. And this is the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

134
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: So Shirley Strawberry, Hey, Steve, good morning. Wow, Colin Farrell,

135
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: good morning. What's up? Crewe How are you all that there?

136
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: Junior morning? Everybody morning? Uh? J Anthony Brown, sick and Tad, Yes, sir, Nephew,

137
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: Tommy Mo. Time to asso mode. Yeah, it's it's exhausting,

138
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: and it is you know, the light for me and

139
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: all of this is that I'm seeing more than black

140
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: people outraged like that. That's the light all of this

141
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 1: for me, and that's the only way that I know

142
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: that this thing can get fixed because they have to

143
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 1: have pure pressure when they go home at night. It

144
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: can't be from black people. That has to be from

145
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: their neighbors, the classmates. And so I'm excited about the

146
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: light that I see. I want young people out there

147
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: who are protesting to be careful, stay within the bounds

148
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: of the law. You're gonna have to obey these curfews

149
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: that they real. You can get arrested for disobeying these curfews.

150
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: If you damage property, that's a crime. I'm just letting

151
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: you know. And so you've we've got to keep this protest.

152
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 1: It'll work just fine the way it's working, man, it

153
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: will work just fine with protests because we have enough

154
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: people trying to join in with us. So be careful

155
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: out there, folks. If you're going to protest, do it lawfully,

156
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: do not break the law, obey the curfeus, be peaceful,

157
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: get your hands up, don't throw anything, don't don't give

158
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: them a reason to arrest and attack you, and don't

159
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: give them a way to change the narrative. Yeah, and

160
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: to throw you in jail. See, I gotta ask you this,

161
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: is there something different do you think or feel about

162
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: this particular protest? What's happening in the country. Now, you know,

163
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: when you compare it to other of course, yea. The

164
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: biggest difference I see is that there are a lot

165
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: of non blacks who have joined in. That's how you

166
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: get this thing to move in the right way. Now,

167
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: what I'm hoping this does is as frustrating as voting

168
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: has seemed to young people, it's not making a change.

169
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: This is the beginning of change because your vote, combined

170
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: with a lot of the votes can make, it's going

171
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: to make a huge, huge difference here. And I think

172
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: this anger that these young people are feeling, and rightfully so.

173
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: And I'm in one percent of protests, but peaceful protests.

174
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: I think it's going to push people to the polls

175
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: that would not normally go yeah, and you can change

176
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: what's happening because the direction of this country that's coming

177
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: from the White House is non directional, yeah or backwards,

178
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: and you can change that by voting. Yeah. All right,

179
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: Steve coming up at thirty two minutes after the hour.

180
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: It's been a difficult, very difficult and angry weekend. It's

181
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: been all across America. We're going to talk about that

182
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: right after this. You're listening to Morning show coming up

183
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: next hour. Attorney, politician, political commentator, and author Bakari Sellers

184
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: will be our special guest. But first, protests erupts all

185
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: around the country and the world, from Minneapolis, New York,

186
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Detroit, Philadelphia, Dallas, Washington, d C.

187
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: At the White House, Yes, George Floyd's hometown of Houston,

188
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 1: and more cities around the country. People also protested worldwide

189
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: in London and Berlin and Toronto in support of our

190
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: protesting here in the United States. People took to the

191
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: streets to protest the outrage we all saw it on

192
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: video the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police

193
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: officer while Floyd was being detained. Some of the protests

194
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: were peaceful and some with other agendas turned the marching

195
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: into violence, clashes with police as they use rubber bullets

196
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: and tear gas. We saw arson, we saw fires, vehicles

197
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: getting destroyed, protesters and police getting injured. It was I mean,

198
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: we saw a little bit of everything on TV this weekend.

199
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: You know, it's difficult sitting on the couch which you're

200
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: eight year old son, trying to explain this, trying to

201
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: make it. It's so difficult to try to explain what

202
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: this is all about. And his big question is why,

203
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: why why are they doing this? Well, Tommy, my son Winton,

204
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: who lives in the downtown Atlanta area, was out there

205
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: last night amongst the protesters because he's a photography student

206
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: and he wanted to capture it on photography and he

207
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: ended up shooting a video that I posted on my Instagram,

208
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: which I was very proud of his work as a

209
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: as a student trying to capture the moment. He caught

210
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: this woman talking and Winton caught her talking and recorded

211
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: it and put her and used her in the making

212
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: of this video of the protest last night, and I

213
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: put it on my i G page and it's really

214
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: it's really really He's the work that I was proud

215
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: of by him. And then of course I'm his father.

216
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: So we had had his long talk about Okay, you'ven't

217
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: done that, that's enough, and he said, Dad, but I

218
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: had to do my part and I can't. What can

219
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: I tell him? I mean, I gotta let him, you know,

220
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: speak out. He's seeing stuff at twenty two, right, and

221
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot more of it than he has,

222
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: and he's sick and he wanted to show how sicken

223
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: it it was by doing a video and put it

224
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: on his ig page and I put it on mind

225
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: so if you want to see what went and captured

226
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: on video before the curfew, and he did it before

227
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: the curfew. So the curfew, he ain't out there tonight.

228
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: Yeah good, yeah, go ahead. God just asked him not

229
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: to go. You know, I'm his father, man, I don't

230
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: want you to because bro, don't let him arrest you

231
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: for disobeying curfew because now we got another problem. Right.

232
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: And then Tommy, your son is little. You you have

233
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: to explain this to him at such a young age. Yeah, yeah,

234
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: explain that. And then the fact that you you you

235
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: play with a kid in the neighborhood who is not

236
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: the same color as you. And then the friends, yeah,

237
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: their friends, and you know I'm trying to do I

238
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,239
Speaker 1: give him a heads up or I think the main

239
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: thing is, here are these words I do not want

240
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: people to call you. And when you hear this word,

241
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,719
Speaker 1: you come let me know about it. So we've started

242
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: with that. So I'm not trying to put so much

243
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: on an eight year old at one time, but you

244
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: have to teach your son about racism, yeah, you know,

245
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: And then I would say, and Steve has raised sons,

246
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: and you have an older son, Tommy and Jay two,

247
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: and then you have a younger son. You still have

248
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: to have that other conversation, yeah, that black men have

249
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: to have with their son, with their sons, yeah, and daughters.

250
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: And it's a conversation that other people don't have to have.

251
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 1: How to dress, what to do when the police pull over,

252
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 1: where you should have your idea in the car, how

253
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: your hands should be on top of the wheel, attending

254
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: to with all your fingers spread out like starfish. You know,

255
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: I mean to have to have this conversation. But you know,

256
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: like I gonna saying, I just thought when the videos

257
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: came out in social media that that would do it.

258
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: Why they see it? They all know what we've been

259
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: screaming about. Well, finally this one is on video, and

260
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: now they're screaming. There was no screaming for Trayvon. See,

261
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: there was no white outrage for Trayvon, right, and there

262
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 1: was no video. They've seen what we've seen, but when

263
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: it goes to court, it's like they don't see it.

264
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: You see, but here's here's his depart When they say

265
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: they're waiting on the grand jury to decide if they're

266
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: going to be able to press charges or not. What

267
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: I had to learn the hardway was the grand jury

268
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: is just twitter registered voters. They're not a group of

269
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: specialized elected officials. They're twelve of supposedly our peers who

270
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: are never our peers. So the justice system it's just

271
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: people and people. When they get in those rooms behind

272
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: closed doors, they are allowed to continue to think and

273
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: perpetrate the racist thoughts that they truly have without intervention

274
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: from us, because we ain't back there right right, because

275
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: we're not on the Julie. It's like, we need to

276
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: be in the room when it happens you're arrested, reporter

277
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: to arrest him, and these guys are not arrested. But see,

278
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: I think two is the police department is unchecked. They

279
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: have a department called IA, which is internal affairs, which

280
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: all police officers are. All police officers hate because they

281
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: investigate them. But that's not enough, because what has to

282
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: happen is police officers who take this sworn oath of

283
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: duty have to police one another. Look, man, so you

284
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: can't come over here them three men should have said, hey, man,

285
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: enough enough, we own his neck. Come on see. But

286
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: them three officers sat there and was complacent. So if

287
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: you in the car when the murder happened, if you're

288
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: a regular citizen, you in the murder. And that's what

289
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: a lot of the protesters are saying, if it was

290
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: one of us, that even that's what has to happen.

291
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: And that's why they're so upset because they haven't been

292
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: arrested and they're waiting. When are they going to be arrested?

293
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: Nick Cannon said it best, we need to call the

294
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: police on the poder police. Yes he did, Yes, he did. Wow.

295

Speaker 1: We were talking about just you know, everything that's going on,

305
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: the protests going on in Washington, and not a word,

306
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: not a peep, maybe a couple of racist tweets from

307
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: the president, but nothing of any you know, substance. I mean, look,

308
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: this is not what he does. Is this is called leadership.

309
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: He's never led people before, He's never been responsible for

310
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: any lives outside of his family. I just don't believe that.

311
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: So you are asking him to lead a nation and

312
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: offer words of comfort when he's never comforting anyone. That's

313
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: not his m that's not his business model. When he

314
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: gets in financial trouble, he finds he files bankruptcy so

315
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: he can keep going without pay. And that's that's what

316
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: it is. Looks for tax loopoles, all of that. But

317
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: I mean you, he can't call for calm anything, right.

318
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: But this is when the president is supposed to be talking, right, Yes, yes,

319
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: and your country, yes, your country. Your country is full

320
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: of these unemployment and we are we have protests and

321
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: we are rioting over racism, and you are silent. He's

322
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: silent because they're trying to write something for him. Because

323
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: the writers are in a room. What can we get

324
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: him to say, and he's got to agree to it

325
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: because they know when they put him out there, man,

326
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: he gonna read to a certain point and then he

327
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: gonna fly off. And they're trying to coach him right

328
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: now on how to be a leader. But it's a

329
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: sad state that we're in where we have to coach

330
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: the leader of the biggest, richest nation in the world

331
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: and he's in a corner somewhere not knowing what to

332
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: say because he has no experience at calming people down. Look,

333
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: the man don't go to church. You wanted the job. Yeah,

334
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: he has never been a servant of people, that's right.

335
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: He has never led people governed. He has never governed

336
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: or cared for people. Well, what about that reality talk

337
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: show he was he um, you know fired people on

338
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: there was fired people And that's what he's doing up

339
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 1: in the White House too. Everybody don't agree with it, right,

340
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: that's right, he's still doing that show. You think he's

341
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: scared though, right now? Since house then you see a

342
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: bunch of angry black and white people and police in

343
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: front of your front yard. Yeah, he was scared. He

344
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: went to the bunk of this weekend. Where you're going,

345
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: Where you going he can look out the window. You

346
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: can hear it. You can hear it, Yeah, hear it.

347
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: He doesn't know what to say, guys, he has no clue. What. No,

348
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: it's not in his DNA, it's not in his makeup.

349
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: And they are scurrying for him to make a statement

350
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: because when he started talking about these National Guards, whoa man.

351
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,360
Speaker 1: Listen to me, dogs, you need to stop this here

352
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: you just talking about See, he doesn't know anything itself

353
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: how to be a bully or try to make a

354
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: power move. So what, what and what I want? Everybody?

355
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: Please be conscious of this while you're out here. He's

356
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: looking for a way to flip this to his advantage.

357
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: And if you keep looting, he gonna send in the

358
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: National Guard like he's saving America. That's all he's waiting on.

359
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: He's not offering one ounce of corrective measures to calm

360
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: this down. Let's get the DJ. See if he has

361
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: somebody other than bar he could send the d J

362
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: down at the Department of Justice. Get these officers arrested,

363
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: get all these cases put forward, get some convictions rolling,

364
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: get some jail times going, and calm this thing down.

365
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: Pass some legislative law. He got that inkpen. He can

366
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: do what he want to do. Well, he said he's

367
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: doing that. He said that he has Attorney General Bar,

368
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: Attorney General Bar looking into that. That's what he said.

369
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: The truth. I'm just telling you what he said. Yeah,

370
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: I'm going on what the president says and what he

371
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: or what he does, right, because I'm not doing anything. Yeah,

372
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: him what he does and he doesn't do anything. But

373
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: he said he says a lot. Yes, usually that's not true, Kimberly,

374
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 1: nothing comes out of his mind. Nothing, and that's a shame. Yeah.

375
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: And like old people said, here alive when he don't

377
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: like all the time. Yeah, the truth ain't any The

378
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: truth will set you free. About that one. So, just

379
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: no federal leadership. And you know he's just so busy

380
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: attacking the Democratic leaders from the state of Minnesota and

381
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: the mayor of Yeah, instead of you saying tweeting positive messages,

382
00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: all you do is attack, right, because you know what, Carla,

383
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: he's trying to put blame anywhere but him, the mayor.

384
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: The mayor immediately had the police officers fired from police department. Yes,

385
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: he wanted at the mayor used to be a civil

386
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: rights attorney. Right, yeah, you know Trump, I mean, I

387
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,600

00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: Mayor Steve Um, can we say something about Atlanta Mayor

391
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: Keisha Lance Bottoms. I mean, she is a leader. It's

392
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: a leader she I mean really, I'm considering. You know,

393
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: I know it hasn't been brought up yet, but I

394

397
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: And to be honest with I think she would be

398
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: a great candidate Eventually. I think she has to get

399
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,640

400

407
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:44,640

00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: ain't blame all this on Obama yet, Yeah, yeah, And

409
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: if Obama had done any of this that he's not doing,

Speaker 1: Trump is not doing all right. Seriously, We're gonna be

Speaker 1: let's not lose what we've done. They're trying to play

430
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: off our pain, so I want y'all to be smart. Idea, Okay,

431
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: they're trying to play off our pain. They're sending people

432
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: out to burn builders down and putting bricks in the

433
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: middle of downtown, loose bricks just for people to throw.

434
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: Be smart, keep fighting the good fight because we love y'all.

435
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,040

00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: without y'all. All right, but don't fall for the trick bag.

437
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: Let's not hustle backwards. Keep it going. Yeah, not no, really, man,

438
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: somebody just took a load of loose bricks and put

439
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: them out there for people to throw. You gotta you

440
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: gotta listen, man. This has been going on since the sixties.

441
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: The government, the police department has hired agitators. This has

442
00:30:54,880 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: proven agitators to blend in with them and in cite

443
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: the riot even more so that they can turn around

444
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: and flip the narrative and they've done it for years.

445
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: And look, it's just all types of organizations who could

446
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: do that. I'm not putting it all on the police

447
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: or the FBI something like that. So let me let

448
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: me fix this. There are organizations who plant people within

449
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: the protesters to incite them to do more, and once

450
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: they get it over more, then you can bring in

451
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: the police, the tear gas, the rubber bullets, and then

452
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: next thing you know, here comes National Guard and now

453
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: all your causes is washed behind the mask of looting

454
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: in violence. Yeah, so terrorists tight organizations, and they have

455
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: different agendas, so to speak. So rubber bullets ain't no joke.

456
00:31:53,440 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: Don't feel like rubber. That's the damn shell. It could

457
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: put you down. Yeah. Well see they focused, seeing them,

458
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: was focusing really hard on this white girl that had

459
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: been hit by this rubbel bullet of you know, and

460
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: that's her badge and her moment. You know, look, man,

461
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: know this. They want to escalate this thing and turn

462
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: this thing into some other bullets. That's why you have

463
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: to be smart. And like Stephen Jackson said, we can't

464
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: hustle backwards, get out there in protest, but be smart,

465
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: don't hustle backwards. Don't allow them to change the narrative

466
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: from the George Floyd, the Aubrey, the Tray, Varn Martins,

467
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: the Eric Gardener. Don't let them change the depths and

468
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: the injustices and flip it over to violence and looting,

469
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: criminals in the street. That's all they want to say,

470
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: so that they can wash away what the cause is.

471
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: That's why you can't hustle backwards. We got to be smart.

472
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: Y'all got to be smart. Get your hands up in protest.

473
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: Don't throw canisters back at the police. You can't. You

474
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: can't beat hate with mo hate. You ain't gonna be

475
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: able to do it, all, right, Steve, We gotta get

476
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: through today's headlines. Yeah, a lot going on today, ladies

477
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: and gentlemen. Without further ado, Miss Anne Trip, thank you

478
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: very much, everybody in good morning. Well. Murder victim George

479
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: Floyd's body is being flown back to Houston, where he

480
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: grew up, although no funeral plans have been announced yet

481
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: by the family. George Floyd was a star's height end

482
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: on his high school as a football team. He played

483
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: in its nineteen ninety two state championship game at the

484
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: Houston Astrodome. Also turns out that the now x cop

485
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: charge was taking his life. Derek Chauvin most likely knew

486
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: him because both works security at the same club. The

487
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: former owner, Maya Santa Maria, told a local TV station

488
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: to mister Floyd work inside as a bouncer, and that

489
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: as an off duty cop, Chauvin worked outside. She also

490
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: says that open had a pretty short fuse. She told

491
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: a local TV station this often pulling out Mason pepper

492
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: spray unnecessarily in her opinion. Meanwhile, looks like the Minnesota

493
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: Governor Tim Waltz may have just discovered that there are

494
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: two Minnesotas. We don't just rank near the top on

495
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: educational attainment. We ranked near the top on personal incomes,

496
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: on homeownership, on life expectancies. Things that make this and

497
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 1: one that came out a while back. We ranked second

498
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: in a survey of the fifty states, second in happiness,

499
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: behind Hawaii. But if you take a deeper look and

500
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: peel it back, which this week has peeled back, all

501
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: of those statistics are true if you're white. If you're not,

502
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: we ranked near the bottom. Nevertheless, Minnesota's governor has called

503
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: in thousands of National Guardsmen to try and control the

504
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: violence over the weekend. Nationwide, there are protest curfews in Atlanta, Chicago,

505
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, San Francisco, in Seattle. The Guard has been

506
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: activated in fifteen states. He Associated Press says some forty

507
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: four hundred arrests have been made in total. However, thousands

508
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: more demonstrated peacefully in places like Phoenix and Albuquerque. Protests

509
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: said fire outside the White House. The now X Minnesota

510
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: cop by the way, Derek Chauvin has a court appearance

511
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: a week from today, and we'll know about that. WBLSH Well,

Speaker 1: So please welcome to the show. Our buddy mister Buccari

521
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: sellers Well, Hello, Hello, welcome, Thank you, hey man, hey man, listen.

522
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 1: First of all, I want to do something because I

523

Speaker 1: want to congratulate you on your brand new book. He's

524
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: got a new book out everybody's called My Vanishing Country,

525
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 1: a memoir, And I don't know if you could have

526
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: written this at a at a better time because it

527
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: speaks on a black man's journey through the South, past,

528
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 1: present and future. Tell us about the book, Pocard, Well,

529
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: first of all, thank you for having me. And when

530
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: you write a book, you never expect or want your

531
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: book to come out during a pandemic, to say the least.

532
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 1: But in this book, I just talk about outline the

533
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: pain and trauma of what it means to be black

534
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: in this country. I was born into a family out

535
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: of struggle. My father was shot February eight in nineteen

536
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 1: sixty eight by law enforcement and what's known as the

537
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,439
Speaker 1: Orangeburg massacre, and three other young men would kill Henry Smith,

538
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 1: Samuel Hammond, and dellan O. Middleton on the campus of

539
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: South Carolina State University in HBCU, and I chronicle that

540
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: all the way through the you know, the pain and

541
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: trauma that most people don't even imagine a father going

542
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: to prison, you know, getting out of prison and having

543
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,320
Speaker 1: a felony. My mom gave birth to my big sister

544
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: while my father was actually still incarcerated. So all of

545
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: that trauma book end with the fact that I lost

546
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: my good friend Um in twenty fifteen, Clemente Pinkney, who

547
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: was the pastor of Mother Emmanuel Ammi Church, Um, when

548
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 1: Dylan Ruth walked in and shot him in the neck

549
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: while they were praying U after Bible study and killed

550
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 1: eight others and what's called the Charleston massacre. And so

551
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: I just talk about this pain, Um, and this trauma,

552
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: And although Matt trauma may not be your trauma, I

553
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: try to talk about the perseverance and hope that's required

554
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 1: and necessary to be a person of color, to be

555
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: to be black in this country, and systemic racism and

556
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 1: systemic injustice that we see playing out right before our eyes.

557
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 1: For that, Yeah, I think I think too, Man. When

558
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: your book comes out at a time like this, I

559
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: can I think it's kind of specially placed because this

560
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: is a good time for it. I miss a lot

561
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: of people still at home. I know I'm still practicing

562
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,280
Speaker 1: social distancing, and you know, I mean the TV business

563
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: Hollywood is closed, so that that that type of work

564
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 1: for me is often. You know, we all do our

565
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: radio shows from my homes now because of technology. The

566
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: book everybody's called My Vanishing Country. It's a memoir, and

567
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: we're talking to such a compelling time for this book

568
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: to come out and what Bacar is telling us about.

569
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: So I want everybody in the Steve Harvey Nation, let's

570
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: go out and get a copy of this book. Man,

571
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 1: you can download it too, but it's called My Vanishing Country,

572
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: a memoir. When we come back, we're going to talk

573
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: with a Baccari about what's going on today in this

574
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: country and how what his views on it, on all

575
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: of it. So we'll be right back with our special guest,

576
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: Baccari Sellers. You're listening, and everybody, we're back our special guests.

577
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: This morning's Bakari Sellers. Now, I want to tell you

578
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: all something. He's got a book out. Listen to me.

579
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: It's called My Vanishing Country. It's a memoir, and he

580
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: was telling us before the break. It's about a black

581
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: man's journey through the South past and present, and it's

582
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: sort of really telling because a lot of it is

583
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: very fitting of what's been happening. You talked about his

584
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: father was murdered in sixty eight and the other people

585
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: are the friends he's lost along the way. And I

586
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: think I don't know a black man in this country

587
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: that don't have that story, because man, I've lost so

588
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 1: many friends and relatives and along the way, and now

589
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 1: we're here in this these deaths. So we got Bacari sellers,

590
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: now Bacari with everything that's going on? Man? What what

591
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: are you? What? What? What's your take on this? How

592
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: are you seeing this play out? Yeah? You know, my father,

593
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: my father was still with us. He just got shot

594
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: at sixty eight. So I'm sorry he still left me

595
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: borrow two hundred dollars every other um. But but you know,

596
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: you brought up a good point, and I you know,

597
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 1: racism is killing black people in this country in two ways.

598
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: A systemic racism is killing black folk in this country

599
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: two ways. First through COVID nineteen. And people want to say,

600
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: why are black people dying at higher rates than their

601
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: white counterparts? And the reason being is because we have

602
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: these systemic injustices. Take the story that I tell in

603
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: my Vanishing Country about where I'm from at Denmark, South Carolina.

604
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 1: I grew up in a food desert, which means that

605
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: you can't go two to three miles to get access

606
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: to clean fruits or healthy fruits and vegetables. You're drinking

607
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: dirty water, so you're more inclined to and take pollutants

608
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: and things that are not good for your system. You're

609
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: inhaling bad air because you're living next to a brown

610
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 1: field or manufacturing plant. Your hospital's closed because you don't

611
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: expand Medicaid, so you don't have access to quality care.

612
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: And you take all of these systems and then you

613
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 1: overlay it with the pandemic. You understand why, and you

614
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: know this saying, my father says it all the time.

615
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: When America gets a cold, black folk get the flu. Well,

616
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 1: now America has COVID and black folk are dying. And

617
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: so you look at those disparities and those injustices, and

618
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: then you look at amd Opera, who got killed in

619
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 1: a good old fashioned South Georgia father's son lynching. You

620
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 1: look at Brianna Taylor. They served a no knock warrant

621
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: and they killed her. They shot her, they shot at

622
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: her over twenty times. And then you have George Floyd,

623
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: who died with a knee to the neck for over

624
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: nine minutes. And all of this has to do with

625
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: one simple fact stead that for since since Emmett Till

626
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 1: Mega Evers, Jimmy Lee Jackson beyond them, we have never

627
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: received the benefit of our humanity in this country. You

628
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: cannot tell me that that officer, that those officers they

629
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: looked at George Floyd as anything but being less than human. Yeah.

630
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: I made the mistake of saying that they killed him

631
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 1: like a dog, and somebody corrected me because they said

632
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: if he was a dog, all for those officers would

633
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: have already been arrested already. Question a question. Hey, it's Carters,

634
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: Jan Anthony Brown. I'm I'm calm me south going and

635
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: I went to school in Denmark, Denmark Sage because dear tech,

636
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: So my question to you is how much has demark

637
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: changed from when you left? I know it it's probably

638
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: changed a lot, sense when that level alone time of

639
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 1: how much has it changed since you left? Well, I'm

640
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: still really close. I'm just in Colombia. But I'll tell

641
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: you this. The city that once was a bastion for

642
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: economic mobility used to know my grandfather, Cleveland Fellers. He

643
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: at the motel down there and the fifth going downtown

644
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: and drove a cab. And you know, my family's been

645
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: in Denmark for seventy five years. And you know what

646
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 1: once used to have all like most of the most

647
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 1: of the Black South, you had small businesses, you had

648
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 1: one or two plants where people had those sixteen twenty

649
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 1: dollars an hour jobs. All of those things are gone.

650
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 1: And so what I knew to be my home to

651
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: be where people could actually black folk could have a

652
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: middle class lifestyle that's literally vanishing before our eyes, let

653
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 1: alonely ideals that this country promised us and so our

654
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: at the time for real solutions. You want people to

655
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,479
Speaker 1: get out the street. Don't tell us to just go vote,

656
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 1: give us real solutions. We're tired of doing the same

657
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: thing over and over again and still getting killed and

658
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: becoming hashtags. Now I want to tell you all something.

659
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: He's got a book out. It's called My Vanishing Country.

660
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: It's a memoir. So we'll be right back with our

661
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 1: special guest, Paccard Sellers. You're listening, and everybody, we're back.

662
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 1: Our special guests this morning is Paccard Sellers, and he's

663
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: got a book out. It's called My Vanishing Country. It's

664
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: a memoir. It's about a black man's journey through the

665
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: South past and President, listen to me. Here was the

666
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: thing that I thought. I thought when social media came out,

667
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: and I thought that once they saw what we knew

668
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 1: was already happening, once they could see the video of

669
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: Rodney King, of all this, of Eric Garden, of if

670
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: they could see it, then they would get it, and

671
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,959
Speaker 1: and that was solving. I can't tell you how wrong

672
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: I was right, because he's a proof. I'm only thirty

673
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: five years old, right, and you know, I talk about

674
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: the trauma I've lived through, so I can only imagine

675
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: with more years in this world what that means. I

676
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: look at my father, who's seventy five. I'm thirty five,

677
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 1: and we had many of the same shared experiences. And

678
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: I bring that up to you because they had We

679
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: had the picture an Ebony magazine of Emmett Till. Emmett

680
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: Till was brutally beaten and lynched and thrown in the

681
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: bottom of the Mississippi River, and his face was beaten

682
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: and he had no bones left in it. And his

683
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 1: mother had the courage to allow the world to see

684
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: what racism and bigotry had done to her son. They

685
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: saw that and they didn't care. They saw what happened

686
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 1: on the Edmund Pettis Bridge. I'm bloody Sunday, and nobody cared.

687
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 1: And so right now I'm looking I am telling people

688
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: that that if you are asking for peace without asking

689
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: for justice, you just need to be quiet. Right now

690
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: is a time. I'm not just for peace, but it's

691
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: it's a time for justice to become a herb and

692
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 1: people are ready to see action. Right And I'll tell

693
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: you what's making this appear to be different from me?

694
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,439
Speaker 1: And because I started speaking out about it a couple

695
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, until whites become outraged, that's it won't change.

696
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: And so this is what like on CNN last night,

697
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: New York, they're protesting in New York, and I'm talking

698
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:33,320
Speaker 1: about you're you're talking the epicenter of this COVID nineteen

699
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: and to see that many New York has come out there,

700
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: most of young people, and ninety nine percent of them

701
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: have on mask but they're out in the streets protesting.

702
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: To see them in Atlanta protesting, to see him in

703
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: Kansas City protesting. I mean, I'm looking at whites and

704
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: it's starting to give me a little sense of hope

705
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,800
Speaker 1: here because now it's not just black people that you

706
00:45:57,920 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: have to rest. You're gonna have to rest some other people.

707
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: And then and the you know, New York Police Department

708
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: moved out in large forces last night man to try

709
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,800
Speaker 1: to clear it. And these are all of these or

710
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 1: they're having curfews and everything. But look, man, I'm like you,

711
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: I get it. I get it. And you know, for

712
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,919
Speaker 1: reporters on there talking about what the looting makes no sense,

713
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 1: I got it. Don't But let me explain something to you. If,

714
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 1: as mar Luther King said that rioting is the language

715
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: of the unheard, if if you're not listening, and I

716
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: could thank this brick and throw it through this one,

717
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: can you hear me? Now? Now for the looting, I

718
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: don't agree with it because that's taking the process too far.

719
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: And I want us to be very careful because they

720
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 1: are looking for a way too. As I told one

721
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: of the callers today, they're looking for a way to

722
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: change the narrative, and especially with this president we have,

723
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 1: so we've got to be careful because he got his

724
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: finger on the National Guard button because he wants to

725
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: peer like he's doing something as the president, and instead

726
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: of making sure that justice is he got his button

727
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:04,399
Speaker 1: on to send in the arm national army right now,

728
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: and so we got to be careful. True indeed, and

729
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: you know, one of the things that I say, just

730
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: to piggyback on what you what you're talking about, people

731
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: are looking for someone to channel that energy and where

732
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: the channel that energy. And so when I'm talking about

733
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 1: making justice a verb, I'm talking about doing things like

734
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: lowering the federal standard to bring civil rights cases against

735
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: these bad officers, criminal cases against these bad office right.

736
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: I'm talking about making sure that we limit qualified immunities

737
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,399
Speaker 1: so they can't hide behind that shield when we soothe them.

738
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: And think about this, think about this piece. You know,

739
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 1: George Floyd paid for the law enforcement police department they

740
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: killed him because the Department of Justice, our federal tax

741
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: dollars goes to these police departments, and they don't have

742
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: to have they don't have to have any accountability, they

743
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: don't have to have any transparency, they don't have to

744
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: have any oversight. And so if we're going to pay

745
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,280
Speaker 1: for these police departments, they have to have those things.

746
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: Because George Floyd, Brianna Taylor, they literally paid for moneys

747
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: to go to the police departments that killed them without

748
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,479
Speaker 1: any oversight. So these are some of the tangible things

749
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: that I want people to offer. I'm tired of Democrats

750
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,919
Speaker 1: and Republicans telling me to just go home and vote

751
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: wait till November. No, I want something now, because in November,

752
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: at the rate we're going, that's at least ten more

753
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: black folks they don't kill WHOA. Yeah, he's keeping it

754
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: all the way, all the way. That's the interview and

755
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: scene dropped the mic. Right, Hey, listen, man, I gotta

756
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: tell you listen to everybody. His book out is called

757
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: My Vanishing Country, and what a great title, and you

758
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 1: just didn't know it was gonna drop at this particular time,

759
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 1: but it is, man, My Vanishing Country. I mean, you

760
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 1: would think that that that we will be saying a

761
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:01,800
Speaker 1: way with this and we're getting better and better, but

762
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 1: it seems like it's taking a turn for the worst.

763
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 1: And I think the book is a great read. It's

764
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 1: called My Vanishing Country. It's it's a memoir. Excuse me,

765
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: My Vanishing Country a memoir, and I think it'd be

766
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: great reading. Is something we can all pick up on.

767
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 1: In Baccari. Thank you for always being out front brother

768
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: speaking on our behalf so eloquently. Thank you, brother, and

769
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 1: as a young brother, you didn't have to give me

770
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,760
Speaker 1: this platform and lift my book up. I think it's timely.

771
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 1: I'm just really grateful for you always being there for

772
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 1: us and giving us an opportunity. So thank you, man.

773
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 1: Hey man, I'm with you. Thank you, Bacar Sellers, everybody. Yeah,

774
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 1: you know what Baccari is saying is is pretty much

775
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 1: spot on. You know, he's such a great speaker when

776
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 1: it comes to speaking about the concerns of us, and

777
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 1: you know, this is just a trying time for all

778
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,399
Speaker 1: of us. I was thinking the other day, here's a deal.

779
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: I was just going over some stuff that just black

780
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: people have had deal with. And all this began was slavery. Yes,

781
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 1: I mean slavery lasted for four hundred years. Okay, then

782
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: you ended. Then we had the recession. We was in

783
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 1: that with everybody too, you know. Then recession, then we

784
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: had to deal with segregation. Segregation, we dealt with all

785
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 1: of that. Then we dealt with what they called integration,

786
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 1: but nobody wanted to integrate, so we dealt with that.

787
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 1: Then we dealt with the civil rights movement. Then we

788
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 1: dealt with nobody could ride on the front of the

789
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: bus that you had to go to the back of

790
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: the restaurant. Then we had city Ins, we had lunch Counter, Cityens.

791
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: Then we had Bull Connor down in Alabama and Georgia,

792
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 1: George Wallace. We went through all of that. Then we

793
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: went through the March on Washington, and we did all

794
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,359
Speaker 1: of that, and then we watched them killed Marta Luther

795
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 1: King who and I lost all hope at that point

796
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 1: because I said, why, here's a man who was just

797
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,399
Speaker 1: making us try to hold each other's hands. They don't

798
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: want to hold our hands, so they killed them out violence.

799
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 1: So I lost all of that. We had to go

800
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:14,879
Speaker 1: through that. Then we went through Affirmative Action, and then

801
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 1: the next thing, you know, through I'm tired. We were

802
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 1: dealing with trying to get through all of that, and

803
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: then let's just speed forward and here we come. Now

804
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 1: the whole world is dealing with COVID nineteen. Yeah, but

805
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 1: then the whole time before the COVID nineteen were just

806
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: dealing with the Eric Gardeners and the and the Trayvon Martins,

807
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 1: and I got a whole list of names, and then

808
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 1: Aubrey had just happened in February, but we got to

809
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:51,800
Speaker 1: tape later and then right after that, this man, George Floyd.

810
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: All of this is in the middle of the pandemic

811
00:51:56,320 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 1: against get it. That's the that's the weird. But they

812
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: don't get it. I think they get it. They just don't.

813
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 1: They just don't get it. What you so angry? Why

814
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:11,840
Speaker 1: are you so mad? What? Yeah? And did you know

815
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 1: did you know that this this police officer that was

816
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 1: kneeling on this man, They said a couple of days

817
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: ago they actually had work together in an establishment. Yeah,

818
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 1: the security the owner of the club was on TV

819
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: and she was saying that they were knew each other. Yeah,

820
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 1: they knew each other, not because they worked at the

821
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 1: same club. Man. All right, all right, we're going to

832
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 1: It's a strawberry letter subject the two women that I

833
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:19,279
Speaker 1: love the most, Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a thirty seven

834
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: year old man and I'm in love with a perfect woman,

835
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 1: and I want to marry her. I am financially secure

836
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 1: and I love taking care of my family. I bought

837
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: a new home five years ago, and I made sure

838
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 1: I had a separate space for my mother to live comfortably.

839
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 1: She has her own entrance from the garage, so she's

840
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 1: still independent. She does most of the cooking, and I

841
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 1: am happy to have her with me. My mother and

842
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 1: my girlfriend get along well, and if my mom is cooking,

843
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 1: my girlfriend will help her out in the kitchen. My

844
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: girlfriend always jokes about it being my mom's kitchen, and

845
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: I told her that once we're married, it will be

846
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 1: her kitchen and my mom will understand. Well. My girlfriend

847
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:02,800
Speaker 1: threw me for a loop and said that if we

848
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: got married, she wouldn't have to worry about fighting over

849
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: a kitchen because my mom wouldn't be living with us.

850
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 1: This may be the first time. My girlfriend and I

851
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:15,320
Speaker 1: had a terrible argument. I'm not a mama's boy, but

852
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 1: I feel a sense of pride in making sure my

853
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 1: mom is well taken care of. My girlfriend flat out

854
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: said that she will not live with my mama in

855
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: her house. She told me that I might as well

856
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: not propose if I don't plan to move into a

857
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 1: new home with her or move my mother to another house.

858
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 1: It's not a financial thing, because my girlfriend makes great

859
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 1: money and she's independent. She told me she'd rather stay

860
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 1: single than move in with me and my mama. I'm

861
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 1: not sure why I didn't ask this earlier in our relationship,

862
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 1: because it's a deal breaker for both of us. I

863
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 1: can't win in this situation. How do I please the

864
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: love of my life and the woman that gave me life? Mama? Okay,

865
00:54:56,560 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 1: all right, listen. I know you love your mom, know what.

866
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: We all love our mothers, we really do. But the

867
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: question is do we want to live with our spouses

868
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:12,800
Speaker 1: and our moms all in the same house. That's the question.

869
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 1: And I got to tell you the answer to that

870
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:18,799
Speaker 1: is no. And your girlfriend is right in this one.

871
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:21,320
Speaker 1: She wants a home of her own, and why shouldn't

872
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:25,360
Speaker 1: she because you know what, she's never going to feel

873
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 1: like it's her house. She's never going to feel that

874
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:31,839
Speaker 1: she's the woman of the house. As long as your

875
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:35,360
Speaker 1: mom is in the house, in that kitchen cooking, okay,

876
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 1: and then she's in there helping, she's never going to

877
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:42,400
Speaker 1: feel that way. Never. I'm sorry, but that's the situation.

878
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,800
Speaker 1: Even the Lord knows that. Okay, even the Lord knows that,

879
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 1: and you know, the Lord knows everything. The Bible says

880
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 1: that a man should leave his father and his mother

881
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:56,360
Speaker 1: and cleave to his wife, and they become one flesh. Okay,

882
00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 1: leave and cleave. I'm sure you've heard that. You know.

883
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: You can look it up if you want. It's in Genesis,

884
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 1: so you can look it up if you want. I

885
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:08,320
Speaker 1: think two twenty four or something. So you mentioned a

886
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 1: couple of times about your financially set you and your girlfriend.

887
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,320
Speaker 1: You're in a good place. You're in a good financial space. So,

888
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: like you said, like your girlfriend mentioned to you, if

889
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:22,240
Speaker 1: you can, why don't you let your mom have this house?

890
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,720
Speaker 1: You and your girlfriend, you know, can buy another house,

891
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,800
Speaker 1: set your mom up in a condo close by or

892
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:31,239
Speaker 1: something if you want to be you know, close to

893
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 1: your mom if you love her that much, and that's okay,

894
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 1: that's okay, But two women in the same house trying

895
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:39,879
Speaker 1: to cook in the same kitchen once you're married, it's

896
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 1: not gonna work. And she's absolutely right. I know you

897
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:46,279
Speaker 1: say you're not a mama's boy, but you're gonna have

898
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 1: to put your wife first. If she decides to go

899
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:53,359
Speaker 1: ahead and marry you now after all this, she may

900
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 1: change her mind. She's already told you don't even worry

901
00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 1: about proposing. She'd rather stay single. If you're going to

902
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:01,360
Speaker 1: bring your mom a so you got a lot to

903
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 1: think about there if you want the woman. Um, you

904
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 1: can't let your mom stay there and live there in

905
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 1: the house with you. Steve Man, anybody got no time

906
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 1: for this damn letter here? Wrong with you? Man? What

907
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 1: the hell is wrong with you? Are you nuts? When

00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 1: you when you type the letter, you ain't read it back?

909
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 1: You don't it? Don't see nothing wrong in here, because

910
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: it's wrong. I love taking care of my family. I'm

911
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 1: financially secure. Once you say you financially secure, then money

912
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 1: answer with all things you can supply an answer. Money

913
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 1: don't make you happy. Money ain't the answer to everything,

914
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 1: but it gives you at least a response. So you

915
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 1: say you're financially secure, so now you can respond to

916
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 1: a situation. And now you have it. I bought a

917
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 1: new home five years ago, and I made sure that

918
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 1: I had a separate space from my mother to live comfortably.

919
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 1: She got her own interest from the garage. What the

920
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 1: hell do that mean? Man? No, no, no, helped me?

921
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 1: No wait wait wait wait, helped me. I hadn't had

922
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 1: a few cribs. What in your house? Did you give

923
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 1: your mama a separate space she can get to from

924
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: the garage, but ain't but one damn kitchen right, she

925
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 1: got o own space. She all over there where your girlfriend?

926
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: And that that's what this whole damn letter. So she

927
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 1: can be comfortable. She got her own interest from the garage,

928
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 1: so she's still independent and you still code dependent. She

929
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 1: does most of the cooking, and I'm happy to have

930
00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 1: her with me. Well, dog, when this gonna end? When

931
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 1: didn't you think you ain't gonna have your mama witch you,

932
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 1: cooking for you, cleaning for you? What? What? Why don't

933
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 1: she feed you? I'm so mad at this. Let him,

934
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 1: my mother and girlfriend get along. Well, if if my

935
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 1: mom is cooking my girlfriend. I'm underlying how many times

Speaker 1: you call it? Help? Right back? All right, we'll have

Speaker 1: minutes after the hour. Today's Strawberry letter subject the two

939
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 1: women that I Love the most. We'll be right back

Speaker 1: after this. You're listening show, all right, Steve, Come on,

941
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 1: let's recap today's Strawberry letter, The two women that I

942
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 1: love the most. Thirty seven year old man and done

943
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 1: this stupid ass thing. He bought this house. He financially

944
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 1: just secure. Right, He bought this house five years ago

945
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 1: and made sure he had a separate space for his

946
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 1: mother to live comfortably. She has her own interest from

947
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:00,920
Speaker 1: the garage, so she's still in the opinion, and she

948
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 1: does most of the cooking, and I'm happy to have

949
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 1: her with me. Well, the problem is you went on

950
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 1: and got somebody sleep with. See that's what you did.

951
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 1: You wouldn't got a girlfriend. My mother and girlfriend get

952
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 1: along really well. And if my mom is cooking, my

953
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 1: girlfriend will help out in the kitchen. Oh, I bet

954
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 1: you just be happy then now, just happy as hell.

955
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna show you so. Uh, this is when

956
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 1: you first started calling her your girlfriend, my mom is cooking,

957
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:34,919
Speaker 1: my girlfriend will help out in the kitchen. My girlfriend

958
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 1: always jokes about it being my mom's kitchen, and I

959
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 1: told her that once we're married, it'll be her kitchen

960
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 1: and my mom will understand. Well, my girlfriend threw me

961
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 1: for a loop and said that if we got married,

962
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 1: oh see right here, right here, See, I want you

963
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 1: to know what I'm saying. Not a lot of change.

964
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 1: Your partner, girlfriend, girlfriend, girlfriend, girlfriend, Well, I told her

965
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 1: it'll be her kitchen and mom, once we get married,

966
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 1: it'll be her kitchen, and my mom will understand. Your

967
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 1: mom felt understand what she's been cooking. She'd been cooking

968
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:14,520
Speaker 1: for you for thirty seven years. You think she's just

969
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 1: gonna stepside and let this little girl come in here

970
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: and start. She don't know what she's doing. She don't

971
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:21,920
Speaker 1: know how to make nothing. That ain't how I make

972
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 1: my dressing. You call a rose sweet, and he don't

973
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 1: like his ass turned over that many times? See anybody

974
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: feel to go through that? Well, when we getting married,

975
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 1: be her kitchen and my mom understand. Here we go. Well,

976
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 1: my girlfriend threw me for a loop and said that

977
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 1: if we got married, here we go. Let a changing y'all,

978
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 1: she wouldn't have to worry about fighting over kitchen because

979
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 1: your mom won't be living with us. Didn't not that.

980
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 1: This is where he tried to jump back to. This

981
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 1: may be the first time my girlfriend and I had

982
01:01:57,120 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 1: a terrible argument. I'm not a mama's boy. Oh, yes

983
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,480
Speaker 1: she is. Now he Now we're talking about what the

984
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:07,320
Speaker 1: letter is about. Now you're saying I'm not a mama's boy.

985
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 1: But everything in this letter says mama's boy. It just

986
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 1: says it. Dog. I'm sorry. I hate to tell you that,

987
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 1: and I bet your girlfriend probably brought it up. She's

988
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 1: been dealing with it because she just your girlfriend. But

989
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 1: once she take on the Tyler wife, she ain't been

990
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 1: to split the kitchen with your mama because Simon, I

991
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 1: would tell you something. Man, you probably don't even know

992
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 1: she's been having your mama and that kitchen. She was

993
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 1: like anything your mama cook probably gonna tell you that,

994
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 1: gonna let you in on a little show, and she

995
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 1: can't wait to get in there so she can have

996
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 1: what she want to have for dinner and ask her

997
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:50,200
Speaker 1: husband what he wants and fix her dinner for day family,

998
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 1: and maybe you come in there and make something for

999
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 1: your wife sometime. This ain't your mama kitchen. Now you're

1000
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 1: mad now? And then your girlfriend flat out said she

1001
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 1: or not live with my mama in her house. Oh oh,

1002
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 1: see this house you bought five years ago when you

1003
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 1: signed that document, that marriage license. That ain't just your house. No,

1004
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 1: who preaches, that's y'all's house. And I got more news

1005
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:23,920
Speaker 1: for you. Whatever you think is y'all's house when you

1006
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 1: go to court, it's called her house. Who lost five

1007
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 1: My stupid hass thinking I has came right along and said,

1008
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:46,920
Speaker 1: your black ass ain't got I'm letting him know now.

1009
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 1: Damn food. She told me, I might as well not

1010
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:51,240
Speaker 1: proposed if I don't plan to move into a new

1011
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:54,960
Speaker 1: home with her or move my mother to another house. Period.

1012
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 1: That makes sense. You can't let me ask something. Dog?

1013
01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:00,240
Speaker 1: You thirty seven? You watch TV all the time? You

1014
01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 1: Netflix for when they in the castle? Have you ever

1015
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 1: seen more than one queen? Uh? Now, King I have

1016
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:12,520
Speaker 1: some slaves that he's doing downstairs in the dungeon god

1017
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 1: and in the spa area. He gonna have some extra chicks.

1018
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 1: But it's only one queen. They got a spa area. Yeah,

1019
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:30,840
Speaker 1: in the Roman empire. Your wife doesn't have to share

1020
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 1: the kitchen with your mother, because your wife wants her

1021
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 1: own kitchen. She's not marrying you for your mother. She

1022
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 1: was marrying you for you, and you should marry her

1023
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:42,840
Speaker 1: for her. You can't have your mom in your house.

1024
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:45,920
Speaker 1: Ain't nothing wrong with your mama. She driving to the garage,

1025
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 1: she got a car, drive somewhere else. You'd have made

1026
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 1: all these separate ass entrances. Get her whole separate house.

1027
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 1: You financially secure. Your girlfriend got money, Get her nice

1028
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 1: little u is he living space? Get around some old

1029
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:05,439
Speaker 1: ass people. She did, get a lot of friends, because

1030
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 1: most old people don't have calls. Your mama want the

1031
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:14,600
Speaker 1: old old people with a call. Crazy. I'm not sure

1032
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 1: if I didn't ask this early in that relationship, because

1033
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 1: this is a deal break up for both of us. Well, brother,

1034
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:22,760
Speaker 1: deal broke then? Yeah, Now I guess what you're gonna have?

1035
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:27,520
Speaker 1: What you always had your mama, and you ain't Finn

1036
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 1: had a woman of your dream. I don't blame anybody

1037
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 1: moving in with you and your damn mama. Dog. Ain't

Speaker 1: as hard because we had to close and We've been

1059
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 1: clothes for about tventy eight days. Wow, So talk us

1060
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 1: a little bit through about what's been happening in terms

1061
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:06,479
Speaker 1: of the business up there. For you guys, we are

1062
01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:11,320
Speaker 1: non essential, so we did have to close. We are

1063
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:16,880
Speaker 1: a person to person contacts, so we cannot take any clients.

1064
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:19,680
Speaker 1: We cannot have anybody coming to the shop, so we

1065
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 1: had to close down. We have to just live by

1066
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:30,120
Speaker 1: any means necessary. My wife she is able to work

1067
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 1: from home, and we have to reach out for financial

1068
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 1: aids from the states, from the city to keep going. Wow,

1069
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 1: this is Carlo. We talked and you were telling me

1070
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:43,640
Speaker 1: about we saw good. How are you how you saw

1071
01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:47,560
Speaker 1: everything on the rioting and everything that was happening in Philly?

1072
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 1: Can you tell us about that. The rioting is a

1073
01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 1: halftermath of the peaceful protest that started on Saturday. Saturday

1074
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:03,680
Speaker 1: midday was peaceful protests and everything was you know for

1075
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 1: George Floyd, and it's escalated to the violence and looting

1076
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:13,800
Speaker 1: that that is occurring right now. Yeah, you know, it

1077
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:18,799
Speaker 1: seems like see for the people who don't understand the rioting,

1078
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:22,680
Speaker 1: which it's not a good thing, but you have to

1079
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:26,519
Speaker 1: put it into perspective. And understand, as Martin Luther King

1080
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:30,840
Speaker 1: once said, rioting is the language of the unheard. And

1081
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:33,320
Speaker 1: when people are trying to get your attention and you're

1082
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:36,559
Speaker 1: not listening to them, and they're trying to obey your

1083
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:41,000
Speaker 1: laws and you're not listening to them, this is this

1084
01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:45,120
Speaker 1: can be the end result. Do you hear me? Now? Yeah?

1085
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:48,800
Speaker 1: And also the frustration of the COVID nineteen and a

1086
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 1: lot of people losing their jobs, a lot of people

1087
01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:54,280
Speaker 1: not having an income, a lot of people not receiving

1088
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 1: unemployment and the loans and all the grants and everything

1089
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 1: that was promised to as minority. So we had a

1090
01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 1: voice with election and we have to get out of vote.

1091
01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:09,599
Speaker 1: Thank you, Frank, Yeah, all right, all right, Frank, thank

01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:48,759
Speaker 1: that name on TV for years. I was Steve Steve Tower,

1102
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:52,080
Speaker 1: I owned a video store, and Steve Hottower I was

Speaker 1: is my niece Nicky. So, Nikki, what city do you

1105
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:06,040
Speaker 1: live in? We live in Atlanta, Georgia. What type of

1106
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:09,639
Speaker 1: business do you own? We own a luxury consignment shop

1107
01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 1: at the Shops A podcast. First of all, let's talk

1108
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 1: about the COVID nineteen aspect. I'm assuming that that touched

1109
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:22,480
Speaker 1: and affected your business. Yes, we shut down March eleventh,

1110
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 1: and we just reopened fighting for the How has business

1111
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:31,680
Speaker 1: been since since you reopened? Sans really alsome? Business has

1112
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:35,680
Speaker 1: been study? I can't say business. What's kind of study online?

1113
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:38,600
Speaker 1: But when we reopened, people were so happy just to

1114
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:40,640
Speaker 1: like come in a store. Even though we had like

1115
01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:44,040
Speaker 1: restrict shary thing, you know, we couldn't have too many

1116
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:46,400
Speaker 1: people in the store. People were just happy to be out.

1117
01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:50,400
Speaker 1: So they were taking in supporting. Note, Now, what what

1118
01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:53,200
Speaker 1: about now doing these times? Because because I know Atlanta,

1119
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:57,280
Speaker 1: like many cities across the country, are the protest and

1120
01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:01,160
Speaker 1: protests is fine, But I'm over. It has turned into

1121
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:04,439
Speaker 1: some looting. Have you all been affected by that at all? Yes,

1122
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:09,800
Speaker 1: we are affected. Friday night, we were receiving phone calls

1123
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 1: some friends. We were like this store friends walking into

1124
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:14,920
Speaker 1: and I lived right in the area, so me and

1125
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:18,519
Speaker 1: my business partner we ran downstairs and we literally witnessed

1126
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:21,880
Speaker 1: the guys running out with the shoes and handbags. And

1127
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 1: when we finally walked up to the store as bathing

1128
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:31,560
Speaker 1: was gone literally down to our computer, our iPad, I cellphone, everything,

1129
01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 1: and just heartbreaking to see that. Being that we just

1130
01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:38,519
Speaker 1: got over a situation like this back in November twenty

1131
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 1: eighteen and Miami Circle was made, us moved to shots

1132
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:44,080
Speaker 1: the bus head being going would be a little bit

1133
01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:49,560
Speaker 1: more protected and safe. Oh you were explain to me

1134
01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:51,600
Speaker 1: what you were saying. You were in another city or

1135
01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:56,559
Speaker 1: another area, no Miami Circle like on Limberg. Okay, yeah,

1136
01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 1: we were in that area and we were hit for

1137
01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:03,720
Speaker 1: seventy six thousand back in November twenty eighteen, and we

1138
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:07,680
Speaker 1: just recovered from that. We're finally flowing and getting back

1139
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 1: on our feet to just get hit again and now

1140
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 1: we're at we were literally less with like four pair

1141
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:20,360
Speaker 1: of shoes and one handbag. Wow. Yeah, because I understand

1142
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:23,680
Speaker 1: the pain and the frustration everyone is going through. But

1143
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 1: we're all together in this, like we I stand for

1144
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 1: everything that's going on. When I saw that video of

1145
01:12:31,439 --> 01:12:35,280
Speaker 1: George Floyd, like Snith and I were heartbroken just to

1146
01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:38,240
Speaker 1: see that our store had to take that hit. We

1147
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:40,960
Speaker 1: get it, like we know our store can be replaced,

1148
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:44,280
Speaker 1: but it's just still painful for us as business owners

1149
01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:46,720
Speaker 1: that we have to rebuild again see to what the

1150
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:51,240
Speaker 1: police are doing. Let me let me say this protests

1151
01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:56,679
Speaker 1: is fair, protests, it's okay, but when it gets into

1152
01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:58,800
Speaker 1: the level that it has gotten to in a lot

1153
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 1: of places, and business owners are affected by it who

1154
01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:07,839
Speaker 1: have nothing to do with the injustices of our judicial system,

1155
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:13,519
Speaker 1: the injustices of the police relationships that are in a

1156
01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:16,719
Speaker 1: lot of these cities, of some of the police officers

1157
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 1: behavior towards us. These businesses have nothing to do with it,

1158
01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:26,680
Speaker 1: and so innocent people have to suffer for something that

1159
01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 1: they're really not a part of it. There were very

1160
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:32,320
Speaker 1: much victims of all this themselves, and so that's why

1161
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:37,760
Speaker 1: we're trying to say, look, protests, but protests peacefully. Even

1162
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:43,800
Speaker 1: George Lloyd's brother is saying to protest, but do it peacefully.

1163
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:46,960
Speaker 1: You know, as difficult as it is, we learn from

1164
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:50,960
Speaker 1: moments like this and we become stronger some kind of way,

1165
01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 1: and so just keep it up, never give up. Okay, y,

1166
01:13:55,640 --> 01:14:01,640
Speaker 1: we encouragement. Thank you so much. We'll have more of

Speaker 1: So I want y'all to be smart out there. Okay,

1208
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:44,800
Speaker 1: they're trying to play off our pain. They're sending people

1209
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:47,800
Speaker 1: out to burn builders down and putting bricks in the

1210
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:50,760
Speaker 1: middle of downtown, lose bricks just for people to throw.

1211
01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:54,439
Speaker 1: Be smart, keep fighting the good fight because we love y'all.

1212
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:56,679
Speaker 1: We appreciate y'all, and we wouldn't be making his noise

1213
01:16:56,760 --> 01:16:59,559
Speaker 1: without y'all. All right, but don't fall for the trick

1214
01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:07,880
Speaker 1: bad Let's not hustle battles. Keep it gone. Yeah no, really, man,

1215
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:10,320
Speaker 1: somebody just took a load of loose bricks and put

1216
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 1: them out there for people to throw. You gotta you

1217
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:15,040
Speaker 1: gotta listen, man. This has been going on since the sixties.

1218
01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 1: The government, the police department has hired agitators. This has

1219
01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:26,320
Speaker 1: proven agitators to blend in with them and incite the

1220
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:30,200
Speaker 1: riot even more so that they can turn around and

1221
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:33,960
Speaker 1: flip the narrative. And they've done it for years. And look,

1222
01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 1: it's just all types of organizations who could do that.

1223
01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:38,280
Speaker 1: I'm not putting it all on the police or the

1224
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:40,800
Speaker 1: FBI something like that. So let me let me fix this.

1225
01:17:41,479 --> 01:17:47,479
Speaker 1: There are organizations who plant people within the protesters to

1226
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:51,600
Speaker 1: incite them to do more, and once they get it

1227
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:54,880
Speaker 1: over more, then you can bring in the police, the

1228
01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:58,439
Speaker 1: tear gas, the rubber bullets, and then next thing, you know,

1229
01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:03,040
Speaker 1: here come National Guard and now all your causes is

1230
01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:07,160
Speaker 1: washed behind the mask of looting in violence. Yeah, so

1231
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 1: terrorists tight organizations, and they have different agendas, so to speak.

1232
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:19,599
Speaker 1: So rubber bullets ain't no joke us. You don't feel

1233
01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:26,320
Speaker 1: like rubber. That's the damn shell you can up. It

1234
01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 1: could put you down, sir. Oh yeah, yeah, Well see

1235
01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:33,080
Speaker 1: they focused seeing it was focusing really hard on this

1236
01:18:33,200 --> 01:18:36,000
Speaker 1: white girl that had been hit by this rubber bullet.

1237
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:39,120
Speaker 1: Oh you know, and that's her badge and her moment.

1238
01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:44,120
Speaker 1: You know, look, man, know this. They want to escalate

1239
01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:47,400
Speaker 1: this thing and turn this thing into some other bullets.

1240
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:51,080
Speaker 1: That's why you have to be smart. All right, coming up,

1241
01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:55,120
Speaker 1: it's the last break of the day. Hey, Black Lives Matter,

1242
01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:58,000
Speaker 1: It is the last break of the day. Yes, it

1243
01:18:58,120 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 1: does a good one. That was a Girl and Jay

1244
01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:04,280
Speaker 1: and of course Steve will have some closing remarks and

1245
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:08,800
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the Tracy Ellis Ross movie too. Yeah,

1246
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:11,720
Speaker 1: coming up at forty nine minutes after, right after this

1247
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 1: you're listening to. All right, guys, here we are, last

1248
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:20,799
Speaker 1: break of the day. Boy, what a day? What a weekend?

1249
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:24,519
Speaker 1: A week? Yeah? What a year? Yeah? What a year?

1250
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:28,960
Speaker 1: You're right here, Yeah, that's surely you said what a week.

1251
01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:34,840
Speaker 1: It's Monday. You already know from last week, from last week,

1252
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:43,639
Speaker 1: it's gonna be long again. Yeah, but um, a change

1253
01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:48,840
Speaker 1: hopefully is gonna come. Yeah. In the Sam Cook song,

1254
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:53,600
Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, I've never seen protesters like at the

1255
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:58,640
Speaker 1: White House like that though, Nope, I've never Yeah, you

1256
01:19:58,680 --> 01:20:00,599
Speaker 1: had to go into the bunker. He's done a lot.

1257
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:09,760
Speaker 1: What you're hiding Trump, But he's gonna he's going to

1258
01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 1: shift this blame. This is gonna be anybody's fault but his.

1259
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:16,640
Speaker 1: He's already blaming on the mayor of Minneapolis. But he

1260
01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:21,400
Speaker 1: doesn't understand this is a national crisis. The last atrocity

1261
01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:27,520
Speaker 1: just occurred in Minneapolis. It's in national atrocity. The boycott

1262
01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 1: is in la It's in Houston, it's in Dallas. It's

1263
01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:39,400
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. It's in Miami. It's in Virginia. It's in DC.

1264
01:20:40,040 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 1: It's in New York. It's popping off in Philly. It's

1265
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:49,479
Speaker 1: in Detroit, it's in Chicago. It's happening everywhere. We happen

1266
01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:54,840
Speaker 1: to have a leader that does not understand the role

1267
01:20:54,920 --> 01:21:00,400
Speaker 1: of leadership in times of crises, where you would you

1268
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:05,280
Speaker 1: need someone at the upper level to have a plan,

1269
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:13,320
Speaker 1: to have some sense of calmness, to say to the

1270
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:17,760
Speaker 1: people that he was elected to govern now even though

1271
01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:23,000
Speaker 1: he lost the popular election by several million votes, and

1272
01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:29,040
Speaker 1: due to the old archaic slave induced electoral college votes,

1273
01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:32,160
Speaker 1: so southern states could have the same amount of pool

1274
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:35,760
Speaker 1: as northern states, and that needs to be abolished. So

1275
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:38,120
Speaker 1: we can just get to the masses and what the

1276
01:21:38,240 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 1: majority of people stay, because there's no more south than

1277
01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:44,240
Speaker 1: north to south. Ain't rising again. You've done all y'all

1278
01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:47,320
Speaker 1: gonna do, And so we are just supposed to be

1279
01:21:47,479 --> 01:21:51,439
Speaker 1: one nation under God. That's what it's supposed to be

1280
01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:58,479
Speaker 1: we have a leader that we can expect nothing more of.

1281
01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:03,880
Speaker 1: He has has never governed people before, he has never

1282
01:22:04,280 --> 01:22:10,720
Speaker 1: served people before, he has never inspired people before, nor

1283
01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:14,360
Speaker 1: has he ever led people before. To expect him to

1284
01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:18,519
Speaker 1: do that all of a sudden, it's crazy. Everybody's wondering

1285
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:20,600
Speaker 1: where he is now, whether they're trying to write a

1286
01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 1: speech that a sound like something he would say, and

1287
01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:27,680
Speaker 1: hope then that he'll stick to the script. Other than that,

1288
01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:31,840
Speaker 1: he has nothing to say. You know, good and well.

1289
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:35,439
Speaker 1: President Obama would have had something to say, I got

1290
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:38,920
Speaker 1: news for you. Joe Biden has had something to say

1291
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:43,400
Speaker 1: about it. All the mayors have had something to say

1292
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:47,919
Speaker 1: about it. We've had everybody say something about it except

1293
01:22:48,040 --> 01:22:51,800
Speaker 1: the president in the highest office in the land. So

1294
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:55,880
Speaker 1: many persons, So why does that leave us. Well, I've

1295
01:22:55,920 --> 01:22:58,960
Speaker 1: been thinking about this thing, and even though I fully

1296
01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:03,920
Speaker 1: one hund support all the protests, I think protests is important.

1297
01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:07,240
Speaker 1: I think it is man. I think it's the voice

1298
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:10,760
Speaker 1: of the oppressed and the down trodden, and when you're

1299
01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:15,439
Speaker 1: not listening, these protests can turn into riots. I don't

1300
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:20,000
Speaker 1: support the riots. I don't want to see this happen

1301
01:23:20,120 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 1: because I know what they're going to do, because I've

1302
01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:26,000
Speaker 1: watched them do it time and time again. So we've

1303
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:28,240
Speaker 1: got to be smart. Stephen Jackson was on the show

1304
01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:33,400
Speaker 1: and said, don't hustle backwards. We cannot allow this government

1305
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:36,439
Speaker 1: because this is what he will do. Now. He's got

1306
01:23:36,520 --> 01:23:38,799
Speaker 1: his finger on the trigger, waiting to pull the trigger

1307
01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:41,519
Speaker 1: to sit national guards to all these cities so he

1308
01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:44,719
Speaker 1: can appear to be doing something to stop the looting

1309
01:23:45,160 --> 01:23:49,080
Speaker 1: and burning of our major cities. And we will lose

1310
01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:53,360
Speaker 1: George Floyd's death, the Aubrey death to Trayvar Martins, the

1311
01:23:53,560 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 1: Eric Gardeners, and the and so on, so on, so on,

1312
01:23:56,640 --> 01:23:58,559
Speaker 1: and the list is too long for me to list,

1313
01:23:59,240 --> 01:24:03,120
Speaker 1: but we will use that if we allow them to

1314
01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:06,800
Speaker 1: take the burning and the looting and make it about that,

1315
01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:11,400
Speaker 1: because listen, none of these black men gave their lies

1316
01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:17,480
Speaker 1: so we can loot or burned. That's not the sacrifice

1317
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:20,160
Speaker 1: of their life. And we can't diminish their lives and

1318
01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:22,400
Speaker 1: lower it down to that level. Right there, now, I

1319
01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:25,800
Speaker 1: got you angry because I'm mad too, man. I've been

1320
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:28,280
Speaker 1: mad about this a lot longer than a lot of people.

1321
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:32,000
Speaker 1: But we also got to be smart. We can't hustle backwards.

1322
01:24:32,320 --> 01:24:36,679
Speaker 1: We cannot let them change the narrative. Colin Kaepernick got

1323
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:40,680
Speaker 1: on his knee when the national anthem was played for

1324
01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:45,280
Speaker 1: this very reason right here. This was why he knelt.

1325
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:48,839
Speaker 1: But did you see what they did? Since the owners

1326
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:52,080
Speaker 1: came down and started locking arms with their players, all

1327
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:54,960
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the president, he saw a moment to

1328
01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:58,479
Speaker 1: seize it, and he turned it into the troops and

1329
01:24:58,560 --> 01:25:02,120
Speaker 1: the American flag, and all of a sudden, what Colin

1330
01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:07,840
Speaker 1: Kaepernick had kneeled for. They had changed the narrative. They've

1331
01:25:07,880 --> 01:25:10,320
Speaker 1: done it to us over and over and over, y'all,

1332
01:25:11,200 --> 01:25:14,000
Speaker 1: when mar Luther King had us sitting at lunch counters

1333
01:25:14,040 --> 01:25:16,840
Speaker 1: and getting riding on the front of the bus when

1334
01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:20,400
Speaker 1: Rosa park. They've always tried to switch to narrative and

1335
01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:24,000
Speaker 1: turn it into something else. They took affirmative action and

1336
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:27,320
Speaker 1: flipped that around to where it was against white folks.

1337
01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:30,880
Speaker 1: Affirmative action was not against white folks, but they turned

1338
01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:34,160
Speaker 1: it around. They took black lives matters and they turned

1339
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:38,600
Speaker 1: it into white lives matter too. That's their specialty. We

1340
01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:42,880
Speaker 1: cannot let them do that this time. Let's be smart, y'all,

1341
01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:45,400
Speaker 1: be careful protests, But keep your hands up in the air,

1342
01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:49,360
Speaker 1: keep your signs showing, but be respectful of the law.

1343
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:52,000
Speaker 1: Don't give them a pin to stick you with. Y'all.

1344
01:25:52,040 --> 01:25:54,920
Speaker 1: Be careful out there, y'all. Be careful out there. Man,

1345
01:25:55,240 --> 01:25:58,080
Speaker 1: keep protesting, but be careful young people, and don't let

1346
01:25:58,120 --> 01:26:00,880
Speaker 1: them flip the script. Those are my clothes remarks yo

1347
01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:15,280
