WEBVTT - TMI: The Patterns of Police Misconduct

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:00.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm Tamika D.

0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Mallory and this.

0:00:01.680 --> 0:00:03.159
<v Speaker 3>Shit Boy my son in general.

0:00:03.320 --> 0:00:05.600
<v Speaker 2>We are your host of TMI.

0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:08.920
<v Speaker 3>Tamika and my Son's Information, truth, motivation and.

0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Inspiration, new energy. What's going on, my son, Lennon, I'm.

0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:20.200
<v Speaker 4>Blessed black and Holly favored. Tamika, Ma, how you doing today?

0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:23.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing okay. I'm a part of the Black women

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:26.800
<v Speaker 2>who are resting. I'm not really restling because I've been

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:30.520
<v Speaker 2>working and busy and doing and going and planning and being.

0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Involved in stuff.

0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:36.640
<v Speaker 2>But I have not been forcing myself to think about

0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 2>what's next and a rally, a march, a thing, a thing.

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:43.559
<v Speaker 2>I just haven't. I just am not forcing myself to

0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 2>do that right now. I am a part of the

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 2>ninety two percent. I believe that Black women have the

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 2>instincts that God only himself could have placed in us

0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 2>to be able to be the.

0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Birth ers of this nation.

0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 2>And I believe that our instinct in what we have

0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:16.240
<v Speaker 2>in us is something that other people, you know, benefit from.

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 2>And so since I'm in a ninety two percent, while

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 2>I feel sad about a lot of things that's happening,

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 2>I really feel proud.

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel I'm in good company.

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:30.959
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I don't have to put a cape

0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 2>on and immediately return to the battlefield.

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>It's the holiday season, and.

0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:41.119
<v Speaker 2>I feel like we as black women, deserve an opportunity

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 2>to sit, exhale, breathe, taking one another's love and affection,

0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 2>and just not have to go kill myself stressed out

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 2>of our work.

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 4>As you should enjoy yourself, you know, like you said

0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 4>you part of in ninety two percent. I think unfortunately

0:01:58.080 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 4>for me, I just feel like there's a lot of

0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:01.160
<v Speaker 4>things things that black men are doing.

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 3>So I've been I've been just really organizing in my mind.

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 4>I han't physically went out and did a lot of things,

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:11.079
<v Speaker 4>but I've been really just strategizing and organizing and pretty

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 4>much like I want to start, like pretty much right

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 4>after the holidays, just really implementing a lot of things

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 4>that I think are needed and necessary in this moment

0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:24.800
<v Speaker 4>for black men, especially black men, young black men, just

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 4>you know, the would I say, the the tide of

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 4>the world, just the energy of the world, just the feeling,

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 4>and I just feel like it's very much a time

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.399
<v Speaker 4>to start strategizing and organizing young black men.

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean the time has always been and I've

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:48.800
<v Speaker 2>said to you many times that you know, as a woman,

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 2>I know that we are we are blessed, very blessed

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:59.520
<v Speaker 2>to have the connections and the relationships among one another.

0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:00.680
<v Speaker 3>You know that.

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Not to say that men and black men particularly don't

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:09.519
<v Speaker 2>have relationships, but there's just something different about the ways

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 2>in which black women show up from one another. And

0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:16.799
<v Speaker 2>I think something. I think a part of our enslavement

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 2>and what has happened to us fostered certain things. So

0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:29.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, men African men right who were being forced

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 2>into enslavement and then of course going through chattel slavery. Certainly,

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 2>the idea that you are now you know, responsible for

0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 2>your community and unable to protect your community at the

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:50.640
<v Speaker 2>same time has to be something that has created a

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 2>psychological backlash.

0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:57.760
<v Speaker 1>I think that backlash.

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 2>A part of the protection has been, you know, trying

0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 2>to maintain position and and and feeling of power and

0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 2>a feeling of you know, being able to protect because

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:17.239
<v Speaker 2>that has been stripped in so many ways from you all,

0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:21.680
<v Speaker 2>in so many ways, and it continues beyond enslavement, beyond

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.960
<v Speaker 2>all that that we went through. Then even now, you

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 2>still see that, and I know that it is important.

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.600
<v Speaker 1>I think anyone whose lineage.

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Includes enslavement, needs, a certain level of therapy, a certain

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:42.479
<v Speaker 2>level of of of a community of coming together to

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 2>understand a lot of how we're still responding to life based.

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Upon you know, what we have been through.

0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 2>You even in your song where you're talking about the

0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Willie Lynch letter, you acknowledge that people say the letter may.

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Not be real, but the effects of what what is.

0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:05.000
<v Speaker 2>In that letter, it's significant. It's significant, and I see

0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:07.880
<v Speaker 2>it every day. I see it in young black men

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 2>that I deal with, And I think that the most

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:14.160
<v Speaker 2>important thing we can be doing for the next four years,

0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:19.160
<v Speaker 2>while being outside and protesting and bringing awareness and all

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.920
<v Speaker 2>of that, is going to be incredibly important. I still

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:27.599
<v Speaker 2>believe that one of the fundamental things that we have

0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 2>to engage in is community building that is not public

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.720
<v Speaker 2>for the world to see, right, Like, that's got to

0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:34.479
<v Speaker 2>be something that we do.

0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:36.440
<v Speaker 1>So I support you one hundred percent.

0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:38.240
<v Speaker 3>Yes, it's definitely time.

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.640
<v Speaker 4>So that's what I've been, you know, just focusing on

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.480
<v Speaker 4>and trying to get into, you know, and just trying

0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:47.640
<v Speaker 4>to stay abreast of what's going on, trying to take

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 4>it light, you know, because everything has been so heavy

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.560
<v Speaker 4>and dark, and you know, so trying to have light conversations,

0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 4>enjoy life, you know, listen to music, watch the internet.

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.320
<v Speaker 4>It's a couple of things that I've been focusing on

0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 4>that really has been bringing me joy.

0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:06.720
<v Speaker 3>Like I actually like casanat right. I've been watching him.

0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.280
<v Speaker 4>He's a young kid and he just enjoys life and

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:12.440
<v Speaker 4>a lot of people go. He has all these stars

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:14.960
<v Speaker 4>on his live stream and he's been doing like I

0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:17.160
<v Speaker 4>think he's doing like a thirty day live stream.

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.240
<v Speaker 3>So he's the other day he had Snoop Dogg on there.

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.800
<v Speaker 4>You know, he had Chris Brown on there, and everybody

0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.839
<v Speaker 4>is just enjoying hisself, like as a young kids, the

0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:29.279
<v Speaker 4>young in the twenties. They having fun, They talking about

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:32.040
<v Speaker 4>good things and and I love that, like you know,

0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:33.320
<v Speaker 4>so that why he was.

0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.760
<v Speaker 1>On the shower in the shower the other day, because he's.

0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:38.280
<v Speaker 3>Straight.

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 4>They for thirty days straight, everything he does is going

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.040
<v Speaker 4>to be on live stream, so hiss in the shower,

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.560
<v Speaker 4>everything like all his So you can go and you

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:48.640
<v Speaker 4>can click on his live stream right now and he's

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:52.000
<v Speaker 4>on the live stream as we speak doing whatever. So

0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 4>you know, I've really been enjoying that just watching him

0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.920
<v Speaker 4>be and he's and he's he's enjoying life.

0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:01.840
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying. It's like I wouldn't do it.

0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 4>It reminds me of like The Truman Show, kind of

0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 4>if you ever seen the movie The Truman Show with

0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 4>Jim Carrey, Like his thing reminds me of the Truman Show,

0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 4>but his real life. It's actually his real life and

0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:15.360
<v Speaker 4>the Truman Show, Truman was the only person that didn't

0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.360
<v Speaker 4>know that he was on TV. They raised him from

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 4>a little kid inside the TV.

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I think I remember that built.

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.560
<v Speaker 3>The whole life around him. Yeah, they built the whole.

0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm not as old as you.

0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.880
<v Speaker 3>But they built his whole life inside this TV.

0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 4>So but when I'm watching this, it's very entertaining, and

0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:37.640
<v Speaker 4>but there was one thing in it that kind of

0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:42.119
<v Speaker 4>that made me that resonated with me because you watched

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 4>him in all this moments.

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:46.320
<v Speaker 3>So he's in the store and this is just probably today.

0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.480
<v Speaker 4>He's in the store, he's buying shoes and it's about

0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.280
<v Speaker 4>one hundred pairs of sneakers on the counter. So he

0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.240
<v Speaker 4>walks by and he's looking. He's like, well, who put

0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 4>all of this stuff? Like, I ain't put all this

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 4>stuff in. So the lady's like, well, people just putting

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 4>stuff up. So he's with his friends or whatever, so

0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:05.480
<v Speaker 4>he's like, yo, just ask, he said, I don't mind

0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:08.360
<v Speaker 4>paying for it, but just ask. Like he ain't saying

0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 4>it till he's just saying it to.

0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 3>The chat as they listening. Just ask.

0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.120
<v Speaker 4>He said, I would never do nothing like that. I

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 4>just wouldn't go. I would ask it. And it resonates

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.920
<v Speaker 4>because when you get to a certain level, or just

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 4>when people think you at a certain level, there's a

0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:25.440
<v Speaker 4>level of entitlement, right think, yo, yo, you got it, Yo,

0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 4>you should do it. And it's not that I shouldn't

0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:29.080
<v Speaker 4>do it or I wouldn't do it, but I wanted

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.760
<v Speaker 4>to feel like you don't you you're not taking advantage

0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:31.920
<v Speaker 4>of me.

0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:33.439
<v Speaker 3>And he said, he said, these little things, this is

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:35.680
<v Speaker 3>how people go broke and be little stuff like that.

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:37.720
<v Speaker 3>And it shows that he's a sharp young man.

0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:39.880
<v Speaker 4>You know what I'm saying. It's like this how people

0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.080
<v Speaker 4>go broke and be little things like this, and you

0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.160
<v Speaker 4>ain't saying nothing about it. Next thing, you know, there's

0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:47.199
<v Speaker 4>one hundred thousand going. People just start taking for granted

0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.160
<v Speaker 4>that they don't have to ask you for things, and

0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:52.119
<v Speaker 4>they just could take things from me, and it just

0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.960
<v Speaker 4>it and it's the mind state. We live in an

0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:58.560
<v Speaker 4>entitlement era, like people feel entitled to things, like I

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.480
<v Speaker 4>have conversations with people and I see so many different things.

0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:05.400
<v Speaker 4>People don't even say thank you no more like you know, family, friends, whatever.

0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:08.640
<v Speaker 4>You do things for people, and it's not that you

0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:11.640
<v Speaker 4>want them to feel like they debt, but you just

0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:13.840
<v Speaker 4>want somebody to say thank you, because that's what you

0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:15.960
<v Speaker 4>would do. I would do say thank you about that

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:17.600
<v Speaker 4>you did something for me. I want you to feel

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:19.920
<v Speaker 4>like I acknowledge and I understand that you don't have

0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.000
<v Speaker 4>to do something for me, you know, and we're just

0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:26.240
<v Speaker 4>in such a time. So it was it resonated with

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.520
<v Speaker 4>me because I see it happen. I've experienced it, I've

0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 4>gone through it a lot. But it resonated to see

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:33.840
<v Speaker 4>a young boy just understanding that he's in his twenties

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:37.360
<v Speaker 4>and he understood, like just ask me. He just like, well,

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:38.880
<v Speaker 4>we got it. We just gonna do this because he

0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:42.960
<v Speaker 4>understands paying attention. He's a student of life. He sees

0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:46.040
<v Speaker 4>with how people have failed, to see how people have won.

0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:48.360
<v Speaker 4>You know, the fact that he brings a lot of

0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:50.880
<v Speaker 4>different artists and people who have made it on his show,

0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:54.160
<v Speaker 4>they've probably given him advice and he's taking it. So yeah,

0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:57.120
<v Speaker 4>it just it just resonated with me because so much

0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:02.000
<v Speaker 4>negativity on the internet. There's so many people just pumping crap.

0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:05.160
<v Speaker 4>Just to see some young boy having fun and who's

0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:08.800
<v Speaker 4>in tune. It's smart and actually understands life.

0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 5>You know.

0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 3>It's just it's a breath of fresh air, you know what.

0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.960
<v Speaker 2>I like Constantat. I met his sister and his mother,

0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:17.840
<v Speaker 2>and he comes from good stock. He comes from a

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:21.240
<v Speaker 2>good family, at least from what I saw them. They

0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:25.200
<v Speaker 2>look beautiful people. His sister is very funny and very kind.

0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.360
<v Speaker 2>His mother was really kind, and I, you know, I

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:31.319
<v Speaker 2>think he's a good kid. I do think that when

0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 2>you put so much of your personal business in the world,

0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:36.839
<v Speaker 2>people will think that they can take advantage of you

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:40.400
<v Speaker 2>because they know too much about what you have. And

0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:44.160
<v Speaker 2>that's just the nature of human beings. And sometimes people

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.120
<v Speaker 2>don't even know how to ask because they haven't been

0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:50.160
<v Speaker 2>They no home training, home trained. It goes very much

0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:53.600
<v Speaker 2>to what we were talking about originally, this idea that

0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, we all and this is not a black

0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:59.720
<v Speaker 2>man or whatever thing. This is all people home training

0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:02.680
<v Speaker 2>is very important. When I was raised, you couldn't ask

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 2>nobody for a thing. If I came home with something

0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:09.120
<v Speaker 2>that somebody gave me, my parents would lose it. You're

0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.880
<v Speaker 2>not allowed to have nothing. You're not allowed to have anything.

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Where did you get that from?

0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Who gave it to you? Why they give you? Go back?

0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:14.880
<v Speaker 6>Take it?

0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:16.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, so and so mother said I could have it.

0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:21.160
<v Speaker 2>I this mother. Your mother said, you can't have it.

0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:22.040
<v Speaker 2>Take it back.

0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Not a shirt, not a shoe. They can't buy you nothing.

0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean really, And it's funny because I'm the complete opposite.

0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:31.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm always giving and doing and whatever.

0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Perhaps some of it has to do with that, But

0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:35.840
<v Speaker 2>I tell you one thing, I do not have expectations

0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:38.120
<v Speaker 2>that anybody's gonna give me anything. But that brings me

0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:42.560
<v Speaker 2>to my thought of the day today. My thought of

0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:46.080
<v Speaker 2>the day today is really kind of like a question.

0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:54.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm wondering if people have decided to throw their hands

0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:57.280
<v Speaker 2>up as it relates to police violence, and they just

0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:01.040
<v Speaker 2>over it like that's it, you know, we just it

0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:04.360
<v Speaker 2>is what it is. We've accepted that the police can

0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:10.280
<v Speaker 2>kill us and then probably probably probably will be not

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:14.080
<v Speaker 2>much to come of it. We can be abused in

0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:19.319
<v Speaker 2>our communities, pulled over, profiled, in some cases, sexually assaulted.

0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.720
<v Speaker 2>We know what we're dealing with in Kansas City, Kansas,

0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:26.080
<v Speaker 2>but its officer will sexually assaulting women for years, for

0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:30.680
<v Speaker 2>thirty years, and nobody's gonna do anything about it. And

0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:34.520
<v Speaker 2>so therefore we have sort of decided to relinquish our

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.680
<v Speaker 2>fight and our efforts in that area and just move

0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:41.840
<v Speaker 2>on to financial matters. And maybe there are people who

0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:45.079
<v Speaker 2>really truly believe, which I do believe in some ways,

0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:51.520
<v Speaker 2>that the more economic development and economic growth that we

0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:55.160
<v Speaker 2>have in our communities, then we will have less of

0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.000
<v Speaker 2>a need for law enforcement.

0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:02.240
<v Speaker 1>But what I always go back to is how we have.

0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Watched communities be extremely economically sound, especially black communities like

0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Rosewood and Jacksonville, Florida, or Tulsa, Oklahoma, where the fact

0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:19.400
<v Speaker 2>that we would even get together and try to have

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:22.839
<v Speaker 2>our own economic engines that pisces them off to and

0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:26.480
<v Speaker 2>they find a way to physically buy fire blow it up,

0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.439
<v Speaker 2>not blow it up as in set the leaders up

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:34.160
<v Speaker 2>and whatever. I'm talking no conspiracy there. We're talking about physical.

0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Fire is burning.

0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.319
<v Speaker 2>And I'm wondering the reason why I'm asking this question

0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.720
<v Speaker 2>around have people just decided police violence, that's one we

0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:42.240
<v Speaker 2>can't win.

0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.480
<v Speaker 1>We moving on from it is.

0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Because I'm not sure how you have or how you

0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:52.440
<v Speaker 2>as a black man, especially but black people in general,

0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 2>some of them are so excited about Trump and his presidents,

0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:04.640
<v Speaker 2>knowing that this is a man who does not believe

0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:12.080
<v Speaker 2>at all that policing should have controls that hold people,

0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:16.000
<v Speaker 2>hold people accountable for harming black and brown folks. We

0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.000
<v Speaker 2>know that because he said it so many times. I'm

0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:19.280
<v Speaker 2>not debating it with anybody.

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 3>We know. We said that. We lived through administration where

0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:22.720
<v Speaker 3>he showed it.

0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Right, so we know it. So that's that right. And

0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:27.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm not asking this question to focus so much in

0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:32.280
<v Speaker 2>on Trump, but I'm just thinking about the whole pie.

0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Because here last week the police went into a man's house,

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Brandon Durham, our brother, Lee Merritt, the attorney is the

0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:46.080
<v Speaker 2>attorney for the family. And then you have ministers Stretch

0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:49.520
<v Speaker 2>from Las Vegas, who is our guy who is there

0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:53.040
<v Speaker 2>working to mobilize the local community. And even he said

0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:57.400
<v Speaker 2>getting people really active and engage and you know, make

0:14:57.520 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 2>getting people to show up.

0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:01.960
<v Speaker 1>It's not as easy as not even as easy.

0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:07.680
<v Speaker 2>People are not as enthusiastic about being out there to

0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:11.280
<v Speaker 2>push back against the system. Then you have folks that

0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.280
<v Speaker 2>we're going to have on the show later on who

0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:17.600
<v Speaker 2>are dealing with trying to force the City of Louisville

0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:22.600
<v Speaker 2>to sign a consent degree with this particular administration, this

0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Department of Justice to deal with a list of things

0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:31.640
<v Speaker 2>that the Department of Justice found when they investigated the

0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:36.920
<v Speaker 2>police department for all types of abuse against of power, right,

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.840
<v Speaker 2>And so you got that happening in one hand, and

0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.640
<v Speaker 2>then on the other hand, it seems that there are

0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:45.840
<v Speaker 2>people who are like, don't worry about it, or I

0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:47.640
<v Speaker 2>don't know what they feel, and maybe I don't have

0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:50.320
<v Speaker 2>the answer. So I'm hoping that in the comments section

0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:53.760
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna get some answers from folks on where do

0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.720
<v Speaker 2>they stand with that? Because Brandon Durham, which I was

0:15:56.720 --> 0:16:00.480
<v Speaker 2>about to say, in Las Vegas, calls the police because

0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 2>there's an intruder in his home while he and his

0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 2>fifteen year old daughter in the house, and they tell

0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:10.600
<v Speaker 2>them the description of the person who's in the house.

0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:16.480
<v Speaker 2>When the police officer came, he being the man in

0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:19.560
<v Speaker 2>the house. The man who the house belongs to, is

0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:23.240
<v Speaker 2>fighting off a woman who is in the clothes with

0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:27.560
<v Speaker 2>the description that has been reported. He is in the

0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:32.000
<v Speaker 2>clothes or she is she was in a red outfit,

0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:37.040
<v Speaker 2>which is what was reported on the call when police

0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:40.080
<v Speaker 2>help was asked, was requested.

0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:42.800
<v Speaker 1>When the police got.

0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:46.640
<v Speaker 2>There, they shot him the man who house it is.

0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:51.720
<v Speaker 2>They killed Brandon Durham instead of a woman. So, you know,

0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:55.800
<v Speaker 2>like I said, I really want people to just tell

0:16:55.920 --> 0:17:01.520
<v Speaker 2>me have they decided that police violence? Because here's my

0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:06.359
<v Speaker 2>real question because I know that the Trump supporters and

0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:08.320
<v Speaker 2>the black people who tell us that we out of

0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:14.520
<v Speaker 2>our mind. You know, we just doing boogieyman, those people.

0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:17.200
<v Speaker 2>I want to know what the brand and Durham because

0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:19.400
<v Speaker 2>that's what they're gonna do. They always come as well,

0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Breonna Taylor was with a guy and he was this

0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:26.760
<v Speaker 2>he was a drug dealer. And then George Floyd, he

0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:31.040
<v Speaker 2>just had something. I don't know if fake twenty whatever nonsense.

0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.520
<v Speaker 2>Things they come up. They have an excuse for every

0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:37.040
<v Speaker 2>single situation. So what are they going to say about

0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Brandon Durham.

0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:39.400
<v Speaker 1>What did he do?

0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:42.000
<v Speaker 2>He was in his house and he reported the person

0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:47.159
<v Speaker 2>who was in there and gave a description of what

0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:49.280
<v Speaker 2>the person was wearing, and the police came there and

0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:54.120
<v Speaker 2>shot him to death. Now the Trump presidency, his position is,

0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:59.080
<v Speaker 2>which we know that Copston have full immunity from prosecution.

0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Mistakes happened, issues happen while they're out there working, but

0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:05.520
<v Speaker 2>they should be able to do their jobs and they

0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:08.560
<v Speaker 2>should not have to worry about people like you and.

0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Me making a finger it.

0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:13.080
<v Speaker 2>So I'm just, I just, I really want people to

0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:14.400
<v Speaker 2>let me know where we at.

0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:21.280
<v Speaker 4>I believe that, you know, after the George Floyd era,

0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:26.000
<v Speaker 4>the powers that be worked very hard to get people

0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:30.720
<v Speaker 4>to not recognize any black issues. You know, they made

0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:35.399
<v Speaker 4>Black Lives matter a curse word. They made d a

0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:39.240
<v Speaker 4>curse word. You know, they may all everything that had

0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:41.600
<v Speaker 4>to woke is a curse word. You know, all the

0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:45.320
<v Speaker 4>things that had the whole world paying attention to the

0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:48.200
<v Speaker 4>injustices that black people were dealing with, the people that said, wow,

0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:50.879
<v Speaker 4>these black people really deal on all of those things

0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:53.919
<v Speaker 4>that led to that that the slogans and everything that

0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:57.560
<v Speaker 4>was attached to that has now, oh in less than

0:18:57.600 --> 0:19:01.440
<v Speaker 4>two three years, has turned into curse towards right.

0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:04.080
<v Speaker 3>So this was very intentional.

0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:07.840
<v Speaker 4>It's very active, you know, and they're not going to

0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:09.720
<v Speaker 4>allow black people to continue to.

0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:13.280
<v Speaker 3>You know, they're not gonna allow black.

0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:17.320
<v Speaker 4>People to continue to be able to evolve and to

0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:20.399
<v Speaker 4>grow and get justice and equity in America. So this

0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:25.119
<v Speaker 4>is very intentional. You know, they keep drilling the same

0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:27.680
<v Speaker 4>things in your head. You have black people who try

0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:30.760
<v Speaker 4>to tell you, you know that di is a bad thing,

0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:34.000
<v Speaker 4>and being woke is a bad thing, and black lives matters. Well,

0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:36.000
<v Speaker 4>don't say, nobody want to hear that black lives matter?

0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:37.960
<v Speaker 4>And why do black people need to do this? And

0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:40.600
<v Speaker 4>why does somebody have to have black people? So, because

0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:43.840
<v Speaker 4>you don't need nobody culturally competent to understand what's going

0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:47.000
<v Speaker 4>on with black people issues. We don't need an administration

0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:50.360
<v Speaker 4>that includes us. We don't need a world that includes

0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:52.640
<v Speaker 4>us and sees the value in the black people, especially

0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:54.680
<v Speaker 4>when you have to deal with the issues that black

0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:58.120
<v Speaker 4>people do. So when we're talking about black people getting killed,

0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:01.359
<v Speaker 4>police killing us, they they have none thus to it.

0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:03.480
<v Speaker 4>They made it seem like that's not a big thing. Though, No,

0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:06.399
<v Speaker 4>no white kids about that, y'all just victim you know

0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:09.280
<v Speaker 4>what you are, We have victimhood because we should just

0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:13.399
<v Speaker 4>be okay with be a shot. We should be no really,

0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:15.639
<v Speaker 4>because this is what people tell you what you talk about, Hey,

0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:18.560
<v Speaker 4>policia have no just victimhood. Nobody want to hear that,

0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:23.000
<v Speaker 4>and they quickly dismiss it. And they've got some of

0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:26.119
<v Speaker 4>us to actually buy into that. So what I'm saying

0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:31.440
<v Speaker 4>is I'm not surprised, but you know, I'm also understanding

0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:33.280
<v Speaker 4>that that's that's why we are here.

0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Unfortunately, that's why we're here.

0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:37.520
<v Speaker 3>This is.

0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:40.960
<v Speaker 4>Because when I sit there and I listen to it,

0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:43.879
<v Speaker 4>my soul is not okay with that. No matter how

0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:46.359
<v Speaker 4>many people I can sit in room with one million

0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:48.720
<v Speaker 4>people try to tell me just forget about it and

0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:51.359
<v Speaker 4>it's not that serious, and my soul is not okay

0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:54.480
<v Speaker 4>with that because I understand so understand what it is

0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:56.520
<v Speaker 4>that I was called here to do is to fight

0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:59.679
<v Speaker 4>for my people, doing regard even despite of my people.

0:20:59.880 --> 0:21:02.320
<v Speaker 4>I'm a fight for my people. So that's the reality

0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:05.920
<v Speaker 4>we're dealing with. You know, unfortunately that we don't see

0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:08.280
<v Speaker 4>the people that care, but we know that people are

0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:10.440
<v Speaker 4>kid because they are people that hit us and tell

0:21:10.520 --> 0:21:13.159
<v Speaker 4>us every day, you know, please keep fighting. Don't let

0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:16.000
<v Speaker 4>these people stop you from fighting. But sometimes you get

0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:17.960
<v Speaker 4>you get weary, you be like, man, what the fuck

0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:19.959
<v Speaker 4>am I fighting, and I realized I say that all

0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:22.359
<v Speaker 4>the time. That's what happened to a lot of our leaders,

0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:25.000
<v Speaker 4>that your quote unquote quote sellouts because.

0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:28.640
<v Speaker 2>People have told you directly that I wouldn't be with you,

0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:30.200
<v Speaker 2>but I can't do it anymore.

0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:32.640
<v Speaker 4>I can't do it anymore, you know, And that's what happens.

0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:36.040
<v Speaker 4>So you know, it is it is a It is

0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:39.720
<v Speaker 4>a hard fight. It is not one when we look

0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:42.800
<v Speaker 4>at even doctor King. We celebrate Doctor King now, but

0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:45.400
<v Speaker 4>the same people celebrate them now call them names. They

0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:48.600
<v Speaker 4>called them coon, they called them sellout. Malcolm Max was

0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:51.439
<v Speaker 4>public enemy, not like these these are real things. So

0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:54.479
<v Speaker 4>when you look at the reality, the same people that

0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:57.480
<v Speaker 4>we celebrate that fought for us had their own people

0:21:57.520 --> 0:21:59.720
<v Speaker 4>turned against them because it was times just like this.

0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:03.240
<v Speaker 4>So you know, we have to understand the moment were in.

0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:05.840
<v Speaker 4>There are going to be people that just act like

0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:08.800
<v Speaker 4>what we're talking about. It don't even matter all. They're

0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:11.760
<v Speaker 4>gonna keep talking about bread and eggs. They're gonna tell

0:22:11.760 --> 0:22:14.560
<v Speaker 4>you about bread and eggs, and they don't care that

0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:17.280
<v Speaker 4>JoJo's gonna get shot by the police, you know, because

0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:19.920
<v Speaker 4>bread and eggs, because somebody told them that bread costs

0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:20.840
<v Speaker 4>more eggs.

0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:24.679
<v Speaker 2>Courts more No, no, So someone didn't tell them that.

0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:29.400
<v Speaker 4>No, I'm not saying bread and eggs, but that shit

0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:32.600
<v Speaker 4>ain't That's not the major thing bread and eggs, because

0:22:32.600 --> 0:22:35.800
<v Speaker 4>you gotta be alive to eat bread and eggs. And

0:22:36.560 --> 0:22:39.919
<v Speaker 4>for me, I'm just everybody own issue. Like for me,

0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:43.760
<v Speaker 4>I'd rather pay more for bread and eggs and make

0:22:43.800 --> 0:22:46.840
<v Speaker 4>sure that that my family is safe, that there are

0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:49.240
<v Speaker 4>laws in place, then we go. If I gotta work

0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:51.199
<v Speaker 4>a little harder for some bread and eggs, so I

0:22:51.240 --> 0:22:54.160
<v Speaker 4>don't put them. So I don't put people that are

0:22:54.320 --> 0:22:57.760
<v Speaker 4>intentionally trying to roll back my civil rights and take

0:22:57.800 --> 0:23:01.640
<v Speaker 4>away the rights that God gave me in position. It's

0:23:01.680 --> 0:23:03.760
<v Speaker 4>it's like this ship is the This is the classic

0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:09.160
<v Speaker 4>trick of every white supremacy administration and white supremacy government.

0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:11.679
<v Speaker 4>They do the same shit. They make you focus on

0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:14.600
<v Speaker 4>the ship that don't matter, and then you do and.

0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:17.960
<v Speaker 1>White supremacist government.

0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:21.280
<v Speaker 4>I believe it's a white supremacy strategy because I say

0:23:21.280 --> 0:23:23.359
<v Speaker 4>it all the time. I say all the time, like

0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:29.040
<v Speaker 4>there's this clip that I put up every year. It's

0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:33.320
<v Speaker 4>from the movie Trick Baby, and it's it's actually liberals

0:23:33.520 --> 0:23:38.160
<v Speaker 4>and it's Republicans, and it was talking about the difference,

0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:40.600
<v Speaker 4>and the Republicans say, you give them jobs and you

0:23:40.640 --> 0:23:43.240
<v Speaker 4>give them this, and they say, yeah, we give them

0:23:43.320 --> 0:23:45.080
<v Speaker 4>jobs because if we leave one of them in the

0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:48.439
<v Speaker 4>ghetto with energy, he can rise the rest of the

0:23:48.480 --> 0:23:51.000
<v Speaker 4>people up. So what we do is we we rise

0:23:51.080 --> 0:23:53.320
<v Speaker 4>them up. We give them power. And when we give

0:23:53.320 --> 0:23:55.919
<v Speaker 4>them power, they own people turn on them because they

0:23:55.960 --> 0:23:57.119
<v Speaker 4>think they they with us.

0:23:57.359 --> 0:23:59.120
<v Speaker 3>So what we do is we neutralize.

0:23:59.520 --> 0:24:02.320
<v Speaker 4>So we constantly neutralizing our people, never giving them an

0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:05.560
<v Speaker 4>opportunity because everybody's here to fight for us. We were

0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:07.560
<v Speaker 4>fighting against the wrong things. So what they do is

0:24:07.600 --> 0:24:09.560
<v Speaker 4>they give you bullshit money. They tell you, here, we

0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:11.440
<v Speaker 4>got you want some money to keep a couple of

0:24:11.440 --> 0:24:13.679
<v Speaker 4>dollars and people say, that's what I'm here for.

0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:17.800
<v Speaker 3>Domina. That shit is never nothing. The Bible says money

0:24:17.840 --> 0:24:20.040
<v Speaker 3>is the root of all evil. So when we keep.

0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:23.280
<v Speaker 4>Talking about the shit that finances is, it doesn't it

0:24:23.320 --> 0:24:28.000
<v Speaker 4>doesn't equate with the actual reality of what equity injustice

0:24:28.080 --> 0:24:29.199
<v Speaker 4>is and what unity is.

0:24:29.600 --> 0:24:31.600
<v Speaker 3>It's never going to equate to that. I don't get

0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:32.879
<v Speaker 3>for how many times you see it.

0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:36.560
<v Speaker 4>Anybody can tell you, I know people that got money

0:24:36.560 --> 0:24:40.080
<v Speaker 4>all a bunch of money are not happy, right, So

0:24:40.600 --> 0:24:41.680
<v Speaker 4>that's not my focus.

0:24:42.119 --> 0:24:46.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I hear that, and I appreciate that you are,

0:24:46.880 --> 0:24:49.160
<v Speaker 2>that this is who you are, but I.

0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Just don't agree. I think that I am more likely

0:24:55.240 --> 0:24:56.600
<v Speaker 1>to encounter.

0:24:58.160 --> 0:25:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Prices inflated cost for gas, food, and other expenses than

0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:08.520
<v Speaker 2>I am to encounter a police officer who may take

0:25:08.560 --> 0:25:13.800
<v Speaker 2>my life. That happens rarely too often, too often, for sure,

0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:17.520
<v Speaker 2>but it is a rarity for most people. But every

0:25:17.640 --> 0:25:22.440
<v Speaker 2>single week they have to go buy eggs, bread, whatever.

0:25:22.760 --> 0:25:26.879
<v Speaker 2>So I believe that both things matter, and they're both

0:25:27.080 --> 0:25:29.280
<v Speaker 2>equally important because.

0:25:29.040 --> 0:25:30.639
<v Speaker 1>I have to be able to survive.

0:25:31.359 --> 0:25:33.359
<v Speaker 2>I need to make sure that I'm not in a

0:25:33.440 --> 0:25:38.160
<v Speaker 2>situation where I'm so financially deprived that my family members

0:25:38.359 --> 0:25:41.000
<v Speaker 2>or even I end up out there in the street

0:25:41.080 --> 0:25:44.399
<v Speaker 2>doing something I have no business doing, trying to make money.

0:25:44.560 --> 0:25:45.240
<v Speaker 3>You know what it is.

0:25:45.640 --> 0:25:48.879
<v Speaker 4>And I'm not saying you wrong, and I understand you

0:25:49.200 --> 0:25:52.439
<v Speaker 4>one hundred percent correct, right. I think for me, I

0:25:52.440 --> 0:25:55.520
<v Speaker 4>think I'm at a different stage of understanding where we

0:25:55.560 --> 0:26:00.359
<v Speaker 4>are right. And when you watch there's a strategy that's

0:26:00.440 --> 0:26:03.879
<v Speaker 4>being taken and it's and it's constantly been taken, and

0:26:03.920 --> 0:26:08.399
<v Speaker 4>I see it. Right, It's like Elon Musk is in

0:26:08.600 --> 0:26:12.159
<v Speaker 4>position of power. Right, the stock market for Tesla and

0:26:12.200 --> 0:26:13.920
<v Speaker 4>all that shit is gonna go off and people gonna

0:26:13.920 --> 0:26:15.959
<v Speaker 4>invest their money in it, and then they're gonna make

0:26:15.960 --> 0:26:18.080
<v Speaker 4>a couple of dollars and Elon Musk is gonna take

0:26:18.119 --> 0:26:22.560
<v Speaker 4>control of shit that is going to negatively impact ninety

0:26:22.600 --> 0:26:26.399
<v Speaker 4>percent of us, right, But there's gonna be twenty to

0:26:26.440 --> 0:26:30.159
<v Speaker 4>thirty thousand people that feel like they they made something

0:26:30.160 --> 0:26:34.200
<v Speaker 4>off of it. But the ultimately that man is going

0:26:34.240 --> 0:26:36.439
<v Speaker 4>to impact us in the worst way ever. And we

0:26:36.600 --> 0:26:38.040
<v Speaker 4>think that we benefit off.

0:26:37.960 --> 0:26:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Of it, so that people agree with you about that.

0:26:40.720 --> 0:26:42.480
<v Speaker 3>But that's what I'm saying. I know you don't, but

0:26:42.600 --> 0:26:43.119
<v Speaker 3>I understand.

0:26:43.240 --> 0:26:44.960
<v Speaker 1>I didn't say I don't. I said I don't think

0:26:45.000 --> 0:26:45.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't.

0:26:45.720 --> 0:26:47.720
<v Speaker 4>I know they won't because they don't understand. It's not

0:26:48.000 --> 0:26:50.240
<v Speaker 4>it's not a it's it's like it's like me, right,

0:26:50.320 --> 0:26:53.280
<v Speaker 4>It's like me living in Beverly Hills, and I'm like,

0:26:53.320 --> 0:26:56.760
<v Speaker 4>we're doing good, but five percent of us ain't.

0:26:56.880 --> 0:26:58.359
<v Speaker 3>So I can sit there if I'm sitting there.

0:26:58.240 --> 0:27:00.000
<v Speaker 4>And I'm doing good, and ten of us is good,

0:27:00.000 --> 0:27:02.280
<v Speaker 4>and were able to sit at the table and we

0:27:02.400 --> 0:27:05.199
<v Speaker 4>still only have the two percent of the wealth that

0:27:05.280 --> 0:27:08.720
<v Speaker 4>we've been having for one hundred years. We're not doing anything.

0:27:09.840 --> 0:27:11.440
<v Speaker 4>That's what I'm trying to tell you is fool's goal.

0:27:11.520 --> 0:27:14.480
<v Speaker 4>It's a false sense of reality. We represent thirteen and

0:27:14.560 --> 0:27:18.000
<v Speaker 4>fourteen percent of the population and only two percent of

0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:21.359
<v Speaker 4>us are counted in the wealth in America. That's what

0:27:21.400 --> 0:27:23.960
<v Speaker 4>I'm trying They know that we're not increasing at all.

0:27:24.200 --> 0:27:27.600
<v Speaker 4>They're constantly increasing and growing their numbers of the Wolf gap.

0:27:27.680 --> 0:27:29.800
<v Speaker 4>If when you look at the wolf gap, by they

0:27:29.800 --> 0:27:32.280
<v Speaker 4>say about twenty thirty five, we will be at zero,

0:27:32.440 --> 0:27:35.760
<v Speaker 4>the median household for black people will be zero. This

0:27:35.840 --> 0:27:38.359
<v Speaker 4>what I'm trying to tell you. We're dealing with fool's goal,

0:27:38.920 --> 0:27:41.560
<v Speaker 4>and we keep thinking it's not I don't have to

0:27:41.640 --> 0:27:42.520
<v Speaker 4>it's not about what I think.

0:27:42.600 --> 0:27:44.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm telling you. This what the numbers are saying. This

0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:45.760
<v Speaker 3>is the numbers are showing.

0:27:45.800 --> 0:27:50.280
<v Speaker 4>If you look at the average wealth from nineteen thirty

0:27:50.320 --> 0:27:53.160
<v Speaker 4>sevening to now, we only represented two percent of the wealth.

0:27:53.920 --> 0:27:56.439
<v Speaker 4>And you look at now, we only represent two percent

0:27:56.440 --> 0:27:59.240
<v Speaker 4>of the wealth. The median household is going down every time.

0:27:59.440 --> 0:28:01.360
<v Speaker 4>And then people was saying, look, I'm getting money, I'm

0:28:01.359 --> 0:28:01.840
<v Speaker 4>getting money.

0:28:01.840 --> 0:28:06.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting people believe, people believe that maybe maybe under Trump,

0:28:06.520 --> 0:28:07.439
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be different.

0:28:08.359 --> 0:28:11.359
<v Speaker 3>What I'm trying to tell you. You saying maybe a pandemic.

0:28:11.800 --> 0:28:13.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you what i've heard.

0:28:13.359 --> 0:28:15.240
<v Speaker 3>But I'm just I'm telling you the facts.

0:28:15.280 --> 0:28:17.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm not I'm telling you the things that you can

0:28:17.160 --> 0:28:19.639
<v Speaker 4>when you when you look up the numbers and you

0:28:19.720 --> 0:28:20.359
<v Speaker 4>do the real No.

0:28:20.640 --> 0:28:21.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm just said what you're saying.

0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:23.439
<v Speaker 2>But I'm saying that there are people out here that

0:28:23.520 --> 0:28:26.800
<v Speaker 2>believe that under Donald Trump it might be something different.

0:28:27.720 --> 0:28:31.399
<v Speaker 2>Okayc was the first time he had a pandemic. He

0:28:31.520 --> 0:28:34.040
<v Speaker 2>wasn't able to accomplish the things that he wanted to do.

0:28:34.960 --> 0:28:37.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm just telling you what i've heard. I'm saying that

0:28:38.240 --> 0:28:40.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe any of it. I think that we're

0:28:40.520 --> 0:28:45.040
<v Speaker 2>going to see the effects of his presidency in about

0:28:45.360 --> 0:28:47.040
<v Speaker 2>two years, and.

0:28:47.040 --> 0:28:52.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it's gonna be the commis. I think that

0:28:52.560 --> 0:28:52.920
<v Speaker 1>we're going.

0:28:52.920 --> 0:28:55.800
<v Speaker 2>To see the impact of his presidency in about two years.

0:28:56.280 --> 0:29:00.320
<v Speaker 2>But I think we're gonna know even more in the

0:29:00.400 --> 0:29:04.760
<v Speaker 2>next presidency. So whoever else becomes elected in four years,

0:29:05.000 --> 0:29:08.200
<v Speaker 2>that's how we're gonna know what his policies, the damage

0:29:08.240 --> 0:29:09.840
<v Speaker 2>that his policies have caused you're not.

0:29:09.800 --> 0:29:11.360
<v Speaker 4>Going to really know you want me tell you why,

0:29:11.760 --> 0:29:16.040
<v Speaker 4>because what happens is at this point, what they've done

0:29:16.160 --> 0:29:21.360
<v Speaker 4>is disenfranchised black people. Right, we have a black movement

0:29:21.480 --> 0:29:23.680
<v Speaker 4>that is so fractured that they don't even know what

0:29:23.800 --> 0:29:28.160
<v Speaker 4>the next step is. So the next person that comes

0:29:28.560 --> 0:29:30.960
<v Speaker 4>that feels like he has to leave, he's going to

0:29:31.000 --> 0:29:33.160
<v Speaker 4>sit figure that the model that he has to follow

0:29:33.400 --> 0:29:34.320
<v Speaker 4>is like Donald Trump.

0:29:34.520 --> 0:29:36.920
<v Speaker 3>Right, we was built, we were literally building.

0:29:36.960 --> 0:29:38.920
<v Speaker 4>When we look at what we were building, when we

0:29:38.960 --> 0:29:40.600
<v Speaker 4>went to the DNC and you looked at all of

0:29:40.680 --> 0:29:43.000
<v Speaker 4>the black people, when you've seen the levels of black

0:29:43.040 --> 0:29:45.800
<v Speaker 4>power and black influence and black all of that, the

0:29:45.840 --> 0:29:47.920
<v Speaker 4>next person is going to feel like they have to

0:29:47.920 --> 0:29:50.280
<v Speaker 4>move away from that because this is what this is

0:29:50.280 --> 0:29:52.400
<v Speaker 4>what America is telling you. They don't want that, they

0:29:52.440 --> 0:29:54.760
<v Speaker 4>don't want woke, they don't want black power, they don't

0:29:54.760 --> 0:29:57.200
<v Speaker 4>want all of these things. So I don't think the

0:29:57.240 --> 0:30:00.320
<v Speaker 4>next person is going to go into the positions saying you.

0:30:00.360 --> 0:30:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Know what, I think they will.

0:30:03.040 --> 0:30:03.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't. I don't see it.

0:30:04.000 --> 0:30:06.840
<v Speaker 4>I don't see where they feel like it. If you

0:30:06.920 --> 0:30:10.000
<v Speaker 4>look at what they saying, they saying it that strategy fails.

0:30:10.200 --> 0:30:14.160
<v Speaker 4>They America does not want to be unified. America doesn't

0:30:14.200 --> 0:30:16.720
<v Speaker 4>believe that. I'm just trying to I'm telling you, I don't.

0:30:17.000 --> 0:30:19.400
<v Speaker 4>I don't see somebody. I don't see America. I don't

0:30:19.400 --> 0:30:23.080
<v Speaker 4>see no party getting behind somebody that's trying to push

0:30:23.360 --> 0:30:26.040
<v Speaker 4>the same values that they that This is probably the

0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:30.280
<v Speaker 4>word every swing statement they've they're saying is a she lacking.

0:30:30.600 --> 0:30:33.840
<v Speaker 4>There's no no, no common sense personal because this is

0:30:33.880 --> 0:30:36.600
<v Speaker 4>they forced us to believe there's nobody that's gonna invest

0:30:36.680 --> 0:30:39.560
<v Speaker 4>their money in their time inside the strategy that they've

0:30:39.600 --> 0:30:43.440
<v Speaker 4>already seen fail and unless something changed, nless there's something

0:30:43.480 --> 0:30:50.640
<v Speaker 4>that shifts the tide of America, unless this is see.

0:30:50.400 --> 0:30:51.360
<v Speaker 1>This is where.

0:30:53.040 --> 0:30:57.400
<v Speaker 2>This is where my thought process departs from a lot

0:30:57.440 --> 0:31:02.760
<v Speaker 2>of people, because what I believe is that we will

0:31:02.800 --> 0:31:05.680
<v Speaker 2>begin to see, like I said, in about two years,

0:31:06.000 --> 0:31:09.200
<v Speaker 2>the impact of this presidency, and it's actually going to

0:31:09.360 --> 0:31:13.960
<v Speaker 2>force us into a movement back into a space where

0:31:14.000 --> 0:31:17.760
<v Speaker 2>people are gonna realize they can't even get elected if

0:31:17.800 --> 0:31:18.800
<v Speaker 2>they are that other thing.

0:31:19.040 --> 0:31:20.520
<v Speaker 1>That's what I believe is gonna happen.

0:31:20.880 --> 0:31:23.720
<v Speaker 2>I believe that they're gonna want to get so far

0:31:23.760 --> 0:31:28.560
<v Speaker 2>away from that other thing, because for instance, when Donald

0:31:28.560 --> 0:31:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Trump was president, he got upset with New York for

0:31:31.720 --> 0:31:35.000
<v Speaker 2>not whatever whatever something he wanted people in New York

0:31:35.040 --> 0:31:40.200
<v Speaker 2>to do and the legislators he had said no. And

0:31:40.320 --> 0:31:43.640
<v Speaker 2>next thing, you know, he took away our ability to

0:31:43.800 --> 0:31:47.720
<v Speaker 2>have a global entry coming into the country.

0:31:48.000 --> 0:31:49.560
<v Speaker 1>That impacts people who have.

0:31:49.600 --> 0:31:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Money, right, and so people who have money and or

0:31:54.080 --> 0:31:58.560
<v Speaker 2>people who are well traveled, people who understand clear and

0:31:58.680 --> 0:32:03.600
<v Speaker 2>all those programs and being a known traveler, they're the

0:32:03.640 --> 0:32:05.160
<v Speaker 2>ones that's impacted by that.

0:32:05.360 --> 0:32:07.520
<v Speaker 1>They didn't like it. They didn't like it.

0:32:07.800 --> 0:32:11.360
<v Speaker 2>But you also had four years of Joe Biden in between.

0:32:11.840 --> 0:32:14.880
<v Speaker 2>So now when you circle the block to him, back

0:32:14.880 --> 0:32:20.800
<v Speaker 2>to his Shenanigans of his thinking that he can punish people,

0:32:21.320 --> 0:32:26.240
<v Speaker 2>his vindictive nature, that is going to make people turned off.

0:32:26.720 --> 0:32:29.080
<v Speaker 1>I know it is. I just wait for the day

0:32:29.120 --> 0:32:30.120
<v Speaker 1>for it all to happen.

0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:34.480
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, my daughter, they went all around into fifteen

0:32:34.520 --> 0:32:39.200
<v Speaker 2>different directions. But I think it's all great conversation. But

0:32:39.280 --> 0:32:42.000
<v Speaker 2>none of us can predict. All we can do is

0:32:42.480 --> 0:32:46.160
<v Speaker 2>because we've already predicted. We didn't predict, we forecast it

0:32:46.440 --> 0:32:49.880
<v Speaker 2>what is to come, and now it will either be

0:32:50.040 --> 0:32:53.520
<v Speaker 2>that we're wrong, which I agree. Charlamagne says something the

0:32:53.560 --> 0:32:56.800
<v Speaker 2>other day. I don't want Donald Trump to fail. I

0:32:56.920 --> 0:33:01.560
<v Speaker 2>literally don't because of his failures, the failure of our people.

0:33:02.120 --> 0:33:04.080
<v Speaker 2>I want the Lord to come into his heart and

0:33:04.120 --> 0:33:07.520
<v Speaker 2>his mind and say, hey, you got to do better.

0:33:07.680 --> 0:33:10.000
<v Speaker 2>You can't be that person. Do I believe that that

0:33:10.040 --> 0:33:12.360
<v Speaker 2>will happen. No, but that's what I want. I want

0:33:12.400 --> 0:33:15.000
<v Speaker 2>his party, the Republican Party, to look at him and say,

0:33:15.040 --> 0:33:17.800
<v Speaker 2>if we allow you to take us down this path,

0:33:18.160 --> 0:33:20.360
<v Speaker 2>we're never going to be able to win an election again,

0:33:20.440 --> 0:33:21.720
<v Speaker 2>or at least for a long time.

0:33:22.080 --> 0:33:24.800
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna lose the in the midterms.

0:33:25.000 --> 0:33:27.400
<v Speaker 4>I don't understand how you're saying that when they voted

0:33:27.480 --> 0:33:31.719
<v Speaker 4>for death. They voted for that twice. To tell you,

0:33:31.720 --> 0:33:32.360
<v Speaker 4>it's America.

0:33:32.440 --> 0:33:37.240
<v Speaker 2>They vote, they did not, they did not, they did not.

0:33:38.360 --> 0:33:44.520
<v Speaker 2>What you have in this election is a lack of

0:33:44.680 --> 0:33:50.360
<v Speaker 2>voter participation. So when you have a people that feel ignited,

0:33:51.600 --> 0:33:55.720
<v Speaker 2>they could beat Donald Trump, but they stayed home. Fifteen

0:33:55.760 --> 0:33:58.320
<v Speaker 2>million people if what they're telling us is true, because

0:33:58.320 --> 0:34:01.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe shit. Because long Elon Musk is involved,

0:34:01.440 --> 0:34:03.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what they did. I have no idea,

0:34:03.720 --> 0:34:06.240
<v Speaker 2>but let's just go with it is what it is.

0:34:06.280 --> 0:34:10.120
<v Speaker 2>The rules are the rules. So if that's what happened

0:34:10.200 --> 0:34:13.200
<v Speaker 2>and fifteen million people came home, that stay home. Those

0:34:13.320 --> 0:34:16.920
<v Speaker 2>people are part of the reason why we lost the election.

0:34:17.680 --> 0:34:20.440
<v Speaker 2>So what I'm saying is that as people go and

0:34:20.440 --> 0:34:22.799
<v Speaker 2>continue to move, we already know that more than half

0:34:22.800 --> 0:34:25.880
<v Speaker 2>of America is racist and or trying to be connected

0:34:25.880 --> 0:34:28.720
<v Speaker 2>to white people because they think white power and white

0:34:28.800 --> 0:34:32.480
<v Speaker 2>men is how they will get their handmaid's tell access.

0:34:32.040 --> 0:34:36.279
<v Speaker 1>To their own power. We already know that we got that.

0:34:36.680 --> 0:34:39.160
<v Speaker 2>But at the end of the day, when you really

0:34:39.280 --> 0:34:42.719
<v Speaker 2>kind of crunch it all down, most of the people

0:34:42.760 --> 0:34:45.000
<v Speaker 2>who didn't vote are people who just said, I know,

0:34:45.080 --> 0:34:47.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna vote for Donald Trump, but I can't

0:34:47.120 --> 0:34:50.840
<v Speaker 2>support Gaza. I'm broke, I'm stressed, I'm struggling, and I

0:34:50.880 --> 0:34:52.080
<v Speaker 2>can't be involved in that.

0:34:52.480 --> 0:34:55.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't like Joe Biden. I'm not voting for a woman.

0:34:55.560 --> 0:34:58.120
<v Speaker 2>So you have all those people I'm not voting for

0:34:58.160 --> 0:35:00.880
<v Speaker 2>a black person, a black woman. You have all those

0:35:00.920 --> 0:35:04.920
<v Speaker 2>people that, if activated, could be and put themselves in

0:35:04.960 --> 0:35:07.040
<v Speaker 2>a position or could have put us in a position

0:35:07.560 --> 0:35:10.239
<v Speaker 2>to win in two years during the midterms, because if

0:35:10.280 --> 0:35:12.879
<v Speaker 2>things are too out of control. That's when you'll see

0:35:12.880 --> 0:35:16.000
<v Speaker 2>it where people their own legislay, they got so you

0:35:16.120 --> 0:35:17.000
<v Speaker 2>with this bullshit.

0:35:17.320 --> 0:35:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh we don't, we don't want you. Hey, what do

0:35:21.080 --> 0:35:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I know?

0:35:22.680 --> 0:35:26.359
<v Speaker 4>Listen, We'll see That's all I say, We'll see. So

0:35:27.239 --> 0:35:30.680
<v Speaker 4>that brings me to my music spotlight today. You know,

0:35:30.719 --> 0:35:32.120
<v Speaker 4>it's it's pretty much easy.

0:35:32.280 --> 0:35:34.200
<v Speaker 3>You know. Kendrick dropped an.

0:35:34.080 --> 0:35:37.400
<v Speaker 4>Album out of nowhere at six seven, eight o'clock in

0:35:37.440 --> 0:35:40.160
<v Speaker 4>the morning that just, you know, tore the whole charts

0:35:40.280 --> 0:35:42.560
<v Speaker 4>up and tore the whole music world up.

0:35:42.600 --> 0:35:43.640
<v Speaker 3>And I, you know, I was.

0:35:43.760 --> 0:35:46.960
<v Speaker 4>I had the luxury of driving my son to soccer

0:35:47.000 --> 0:35:50.280
<v Speaker 4>this weekend and it was about a two hour ride

0:35:51.040 --> 0:35:53.520
<v Speaker 4>both ways, so that was about four hours of me driving.

0:35:54.440 --> 0:35:56.680
<v Speaker 3>So I listened to it over and over and I

0:35:56.719 --> 0:35:57.600
<v Speaker 3>just got in tune with it.

0:35:57.640 --> 0:35:59.719
<v Speaker 4>And I think one of my favorite tracks on it

0:35:59.840 --> 0:36:02.480
<v Speaker 4>is where he took a Tupac like beating it was.

0:36:02.600 --> 0:36:04.640
<v Speaker 4>It was he had this energy of Tupac and it's

0:36:04.640 --> 0:36:08.040
<v Speaker 4>called Reincarnated And I'm trying to figure out I didn't really.

0:36:08.320 --> 0:36:11.600
<v Speaker 4>I'm listening to it and he's talking about two different artists.

0:36:11.640 --> 0:36:13.440
<v Speaker 4>I think one of them is Billy Holliday. I'm almost

0:36:13.480 --> 0:36:15.640
<v Speaker 4>sure that the woman he was talking about is Billy Holiday.

0:36:16.280 --> 0:36:17.800
<v Speaker 4>And I thought it was Jimmy Hendrix.

0:36:17.880 --> 0:36:18.239
<v Speaker 3>The first one.

0:36:18.239 --> 0:36:20.360
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, but it's somebody that played the guitar.

0:36:20.400 --> 0:36:23.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't know exactly it was Jimmy Hendrix or somebody else,

0:36:23.000 --> 0:36:24.680
<v Speaker 4>but I gotta listen again because I gotta get the

0:36:24.760 --> 0:36:29.600
<v Speaker 4>dates on what it was. But he's talking about these

0:36:29.680 --> 0:36:34.120
<v Speaker 4>people being reincardinating and coming back as him, and then

0:36:34.160 --> 0:36:37.560
<v Speaker 4>he has a conversation at the end with God, you know,

0:36:37.640 --> 0:36:39.600
<v Speaker 4>and God is talking to him like I sent you

0:36:39.640 --> 0:36:42.640
<v Speaker 4>here these d three different ways, you know, so you

0:36:42.640 --> 0:36:43.359
<v Speaker 4>can get it right.

0:36:43.920 --> 0:36:46.480
<v Speaker 3>And then he's like, but you still you too YouTube

0:36:47.320 --> 0:36:49.719
<v Speaker 3>consume with war, Like you say you want peace, but

0:36:49.800 --> 0:36:51.600
<v Speaker 3>you consume with war. He said, well, I'm trying to

0:36:51.680 --> 0:36:53.799
<v Speaker 3>unite my people, and I'm trying to unite the worst

0:36:53.840 --> 0:36:55.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing all this what you want?

0:36:55.400 --> 0:36:55.440
<v Speaker 5>You?

0:36:55.600 --> 0:36:58.200
<v Speaker 4>You you hold these grudges and you fight wars all

0:36:58.239 --> 0:36:59.880
<v Speaker 4>the time. When are you going When are you going

0:36:59.920 --> 0:37:00.759
<v Speaker 4>to let that go?

0:37:01.400 --> 0:37:02.840
<v Speaker 3>When are you gonna let that energy go?

0:37:02.920 --> 0:37:05.200
<v Speaker 4>And it's like he's fighting with itself and God like

0:37:05.239 --> 0:37:07.600
<v Speaker 4>it's such a dope song. You know what I'm saying

0:37:07.600 --> 0:37:09.799
<v Speaker 4>it's one of those songs that it just shows the

0:37:09.880 --> 0:37:14.040
<v Speaker 4>creativity of Kendrick Lamar. And what I respect about him

0:37:14.120 --> 0:37:17.120
<v Speaker 4>is that he pushes the envelope, you know, and he

0:37:17.520 --> 0:37:20.600
<v Speaker 4>does things that are different. So I would ask anybody

0:37:20.640 --> 0:37:23.719
<v Speaker 4>to be listening to the album, just really listen to Reincarnated.

0:37:23.760 --> 0:37:26.640
<v Speaker 4>Don't just listen to because it got that you know,

0:37:26.719 --> 0:37:30.840
<v Speaker 4>that that vibe, that that Tupac vibe, but just listen

0:37:30.920 --> 0:37:33.120
<v Speaker 4>to the lyrics and listen to what he's saying.

0:37:33.960 --> 0:37:35.799
<v Speaker 2>I haven't had a chance to listen to the album

0:37:35.920 --> 0:37:40.359
<v Speaker 2>at all, but all of my music finiciados, that's how

0:37:40.400 --> 0:37:45.040
<v Speaker 2>you said. I think so that my people who love music,

0:37:45.680 --> 0:37:48.640
<v Speaker 2>they seen y'all seem to be into it.

0:37:48.719 --> 0:37:53.080
<v Speaker 1>So with that being said, I'm sure I will want myself.

0:37:53.600 --> 0:37:55.520
<v Speaker 4>It's a body of work. It's one of those bodies

0:37:55.520 --> 0:37:58.040
<v Speaker 4>of work, you know. That's what I love about Kendrick.

0:37:58.400 --> 0:38:01.120
<v Speaker 4>He doesn't just drop music and that you could just buy.

0:38:01.200 --> 0:38:04.400
<v Speaker 4>It's a body of work. Like each song does something

0:38:04.440 --> 0:38:07.000
<v Speaker 4>different to you, but it still tells like a story,

0:38:07.000 --> 0:38:09.680
<v Speaker 4>and it gives you a mind frame and puts you

0:38:09.719 --> 0:38:12.520
<v Speaker 4>in a mind frame and understands and it actually makes

0:38:12.560 --> 0:38:15.280
<v Speaker 4>you if you're creative of you an artist, it makes

0:38:15.320 --> 0:38:17.880
<v Speaker 4>you push yourself, Like just listening to the album and

0:38:18.000 --> 0:38:20.640
<v Speaker 4>gave me just ideas of my own things. They were

0:38:20.719 --> 0:38:23.200
<v Speaker 4>far from his, but it just pushed me to think

0:38:23.200 --> 0:38:24.360
<v Speaker 4>about different things.

0:38:24.640 --> 0:38:27.319
<v Speaker 3>So it gets you push you in a creative mind state.

0:38:28.000 --> 0:38:28.480
<v Speaker 1>That's great.

0:38:28.600 --> 0:38:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Hendrick Lamar, Hendrew Lamar, all right, let's get into our guests.

0:38:34.960 --> 0:38:37.680
<v Speaker 2>This is going to be a panel that I'm quite

0:38:37.680 --> 0:38:40.520
<v Speaker 2>excited about today. We have several people on to talk

0:38:40.520 --> 0:38:43.560
<v Speaker 2>about an issue that should matter to folks all over

0:38:43.600 --> 0:38:46.960
<v Speaker 2>the country. You know, I often say we need a

0:38:47.080 --> 0:38:51.600
<v Speaker 2>consent decree on America for many things, and I want

0:38:51.600 --> 0:38:54.160
<v Speaker 2>to talk more about what a consent decree is with

0:38:54.280 --> 0:38:56.960
<v Speaker 2>the next group of people that's coming up. So let's

0:38:57.400 --> 0:39:00.520
<v Speaker 2>have our panel. It's so good to have y'all with us.

0:39:00.719 --> 0:39:03.560
<v Speaker 2>It feels like home. Like we need to do it

0:39:03.719 --> 0:39:06.799
<v Speaker 2>more often so we can see y'all's faces and.

0:39:06.800 --> 0:39:09.239
<v Speaker 1>Continue to be in community together.

0:39:10.239 --> 0:39:12.880
<v Speaker 2>I just think that it is important to state that

0:39:13.040 --> 0:39:17.799
<v Speaker 2>from the day we met four years ago, which you know,

0:39:18.000 --> 0:39:21.080
<v Speaker 2>by the time I met Katura, I was apologizing off

0:39:21.120 --> 0:39:25.319
<v Speaker 2>the back for a big boobo that I made. But nonetheless,

0:39:25.760 --> 0:39:29.560
<v Speaker 2>we have continued to support one another every single step

0:39:29.600 --> 0:39:33.640
<v Speaker 2>of the way. I think what came out of our

0:39:34.920 --> 0:39:39.960
<v Speaker 2>connection through Brionna Taylor, the tragic and unfortunate death of

0:39:40.320 --> 0:39:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Brianna Taylor is such an example that can be studied

0:39:44.440 --> 0:39:48.640
<v Speaker 2>by movements and people across the country that while we

0:39:48.719 --> 0:39:54.160
<v Speaker 2>face conflict, we face drama, trauma, and your mama, everything

0:39:54.239 --> 0:39:58.200
<v Speaker 2>you could think of. Still through every step of the way,

0:39:58.640 --> 0:40:02.640
<v Speaker 2>outsiders to Little came together with the local community and

0:40:02.680 --> 0:40:05.280
<v Speaker 2>continued to support one another. And I just think that's

0:40:05.360 --> 0:40:07.359
<v Speaker 2>just so good. So I'm happy to have y'all with

0:40:07.440 --> 0:40:13.360
<v Speaker 2>us today. So we are looking at the beautiful faces

0:41:09.880 --> 0:41:14.160
<v Speaker 2>Katura took off and has not stopped yet. So I'm

0:41:14.200 --> 0:41:19.080
<v Speaker 2>sure that soon you'll be in Washington, d C. Being

0:41:19.280 --> 0:41:23.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, Congresswoman Katura or Haran. It is coming. I'm

0:41:23.120 --> 0:41:24.319
<v Speaker 2>not even worried about it.

0:41:24.680 --> 0:41:26.960
<v Speaker 3>That's right. We'll see what happens.

0:41:26.960 --> 0:41:29.759
<v Speaker 8>Politics is a lot, you know, and uh so we'll see,

0:41:30.360 --> 0:41:32.360
<v Speaker 8>we'll see what God has in store.

0:41:34.920 --> 0:41:38.440
<v Speaker 2>I have a friend who is an elected official in

0:41:38.480 --> 0:41:42.520
<v Speaker 2>New York who calls me today. I'm cleaning and just

0:41:42.719 --> 0:41:47.960
<v Speaker 2>listening to this person venting that, like it's so hard

0:41:48.000 --> 0:41:51.640
<v Speaker 2>to be real and in politics like that is the

0:41:52.120 --> 0:41:57.719
<v Speaker 2>toughest job ever is to maintain being a real person

0:41:58.000 --> 0:42:02.160
<v Speaker 2>who's seriously about the issues, be an authentic having a

0:42:02.200 --> 0:42:06.919
<v Speaker 2>social justice lens and trying to blend in with as

0:42:07.000 --> 0:42:10.799
<v Speaker 2>they said, these suckers. Man, I can't take it. Man,

0:42:12.920 --> 0:42:13.560
<v Speaker 2>that's a word.

0:42:13.840 --> 0:42:18.200
<v Speaker 8>It is very difficult to balance, and it's very difficult

0:42:18.239 --> 0:42:22.400
<v Speaker 8>really to live when you're not doing politics. This past weekend,

0:42:22.480 --> 0:42:24.759
<v Speaker 8>I went to a wedding and a guy came up

0:42:24.760 --> 0:42:26.279
<v Speaker 8>to me and he's like, don't I know you?

0:42:26.320 --> 0:42:27.319
<v Speaker 3>And so I told him.

0:42:27.200 --> 0:42:29.319
<v Speaker 8>Who I was and he was like, you have a

0:42:29.320 --> 0:42:31.439
<v Speaker 8>card and I was like no, He's like, why don't

0:42:31.440 --> 0:42:33.480
<v Speaker 8>you have a card? And I'm like, I'm at a wedding,

0:42:33.760 --> 0:42:38.240
<v Speaker 8>like I'm just trying to be And so it's definitely

0:42:38.239 --> 0:42:40.920
<v Speaker 8>a balance, and you know, it's very humbling and an

0:42:40.920 --> 0:42:42.839
<v Speaker 8>honor to serve, but it is.

0:42:43.200 --> 0:42:44.719
<v Speaker 3>It takes a toll on.

0:42:44.760 --> 0:42:47.160
<v Speaker 7>An individual for real tour and you're better than me

0:42:47.200 --> 0:42:49.440
<v Speaker 7>because I'd be out. If I'm out at a regular

0:42:49.480 --> 0:42:51.600
<v Speaker 7>social event, people like I know you from somewhere. I'm like,

0:42:52.840 --> 0:42:56.120
<v Speaker 7>I don't know where from, and my friends would be

0:42:56.160 --> 0:42:56.760
<v Speaker 7>like you wrong.

0:42:56.840 --> 0:42:59.439
<v Speaker 6>I'm like, I mean, I know what I'm not trying

0:42:59.440 --> 0:43:00.520
<v Speaker 6>to talk about.

0:43:01.120 --> 0:43:02.720
<v Speaker 1>That's what my thought does to people.

0:43:02.800 --> 0:43:06.279
<v Speaker 2>People walk up to my thought everywhere and they go, yo,

0:43:06.440 --> 0:43:09.640
<v Speaker 2>I know you, I know your He goes like he

0:43:09.719 --> 0:43:12.000
<v Speaker 2>don't know what the people were talking about, because at.

0:43:11.920 --> 0:43:14.680
<v Speaker 4>The end of the day, I mean, sometimes you just

0:43:14.719 --> 0:43:16.719
<v Speaker 4>want to relax, and if they figure out who you are,

0:43:16.880 --> 0:43:20.080
<v Speaker 4>they say, hey, you certain says that obliged. But I'm

0:43:20.080 --> 0:43:21.880
<v Speaker 4>not the person that's going to say UNDERGA, I might

0:43:21.880 --> 0:43:23.040
<v Speaker 4>say unwrapped and I do this.

0:43:23.719 --> 0:43:25.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to do all. You know, So if

0:43:25.640 --> 0:43:27.319
<v Speaker 3>you just say you look familiar, I think I know

0:43:27.360 --> 0:43:28.880
<v Speaker 3>I'll be like, well, maybe you do.

0:43:29.160 --> 0:43:31.239
<v Speaker 6>You know those faces?

0:43:31.520 --> 0:43:33.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you tell me that all the time.

0:43:34.280 --> 0:43:37.560
<v Speaker 2>Y'all, two us so much alike is ridiculous. But so

0:43:37.600 --> 0:43:41.120
<v Speaker 2>we're here to talk about a serious issue today. I

0:43:41.160 --> 0:43:44.160
<v Speaker 2>appreciate the two of you being able to alter your

0:43:44.200 --> 0:43:48.080
<v Speaker 2>schedules because this is a real time sensitive issue for

0:43:48.239 --> 0:43:53.160
<v Speaker 2>lots of reasons. You know, during President Obama's presidency his

0:43:53.320 --> 0:43:56.799
<v Speaker 2>terms in office, one of the things that I was

0:43:57.040 --> 0:44:01.120
<v Speaker 2>very proud of that we worked on and we advocated for,

0:44:01.920 --> 0:44:07.000
<v Speaker 2>was the use of consent decrees to address the concerns

0:44:07.480 --> 0:44:12.080
<v Speaker 2>around police departments around the country. We know that depending

0:44:12.120 --> 0:44:16.600
<v Speaker 2>on who your president is, and particularly Republican governors do

0:44:16.680 --> 0:44:20.400
<v Speaker 2>not lean into consent decrees at all. But under President

0:44:20.440 --> 0:44:25.720
<v Speaker 2>Obama they were an eric holder. Obviously being the Attorney General.

0:44:27.440 --> 0:44:30.359
<v Speaker 2>This was something that they sort of brought to the

0:44:30.360 --> 0:44:36.080
<v Speaker 2>forefront and really began to use that particular model that

0:44:36.440 --> 0:44:39.000
<v Speaker 2>whatever you're going to explain it to us a little better,

0:44:39.800 --> 0:44:48.879
<v Speaker 2>Attorney Baker to address, to address police departments where their

0:44:49.000 --> 0:44:53.000
<v Speaker 2>behavior is not just one incident or two incidents, but

0:44:53.040 --> 0:44:58.239
<v Speaker 2>there is a pattern, a pattern in practice of abuse,

0:44:58.800 --> 0:45:03.200
<v Speaker 2>misuse of force, the violation of civil rights, and the

0:45:03.239 --> 0:45:08.080
<v Speaker 2>issues go on and on. And so we saw more

0:45:08.160 --> 0:45:11.279
<v Speaker 2>of that happening across the country. And of course, once

0:45:11.320 --> 0:45:14.520
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump became president, the first time it went away,

0:45:15.080 --> 0:45:20.720
<v Speaker 2>they in fact declined to continue in that on that path.

0:45:21.360 --> 0:45:24.040
<v Speaker 2>And here we are back there again. Lenita, why don't

0:45:24.040 --> 0:45:27.280
<v Speaker 2>you tell us what is the importance of the consent

0:45:27.360 --> 0:45:30.160
<v Speaker 2>degree and then you can give us a little bit

0:45:30.200 --> 0:45:32.120
<v Speaker 2>of information about what's been happening in.

0:45:32.160 --> 0:45:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Kentucky, And of course Katura please jump in.

0:45:35.920 --> 0:45:39.000
<v Speaker 7>So the importance of a consent decree is it provides

0:45:39.080 --> 0:45:42.120
<v Speaker 7>oversight for the police department. It's not the chief, it's

0:45:42.160 --> 0:45:48.879
<v Speaker 7>not the mayor. It's basically saying police department. Sometimes it's jail,

0:45:49.040 --> 0:45:51.879
<v Speaker 7>sometimes it's school, so like in this particular instance, we're

0:45:51.880 --> 0:45:55.400
<v Speaker 7>talking about the Louiso Metro Police Department. But consent decrees

0:45:55.440 --> 0:45:58.080
<v Speaker 7>are when the Department of Justice, the Civil Rights Division

0:45:58.960 --> 0:46:01.200
<v Speaker 7>of the Department of Justice, which we know is led

0:46:01.239 --> 0:46:04.839
<v Speaker 7>by Right now and at least into January, led by

0:46:04.920 --> 0:46:09.640
<v Speaker 7>the formidable Kristen Clark, who has just been amazing in

0:46:09.719 --> 0:46:13.120
<v Speaker 7>the four years that she's had to lead that section

0:46:13.200 --> 0:46:14.320
<v Speaker 7>of Department of Justice.

0:46:14.680 --> 0:46:16.839
<v Speaker 6>It gives us her court orders.

0:46:18.200 --> 0:46:23.200
<v Speaker 7>Other tools for monitoring for these entities who under their

0:46:23.200 --> 0:46:28.800
<v Speaker 7>investigations they found that an entity, whether again police department,

0:46:28.960 --> 0:46:33.799
<v Speaker 7>jail schools, any government entity, has engaged in violating the

0:46:33.840 --> 0:46:38.799
<v Speaker 7>civil rights of any particular group of citizens within the

0:46:38.920 --> 0:46:39.760
<v Speaker 7>United States.

0:46:40.280 --> 0:46:42.560
<v Speaker 6>And so as we know here in.

0:46:42.440 --> 0:46:48.719
<v Speaker 7>Louisville, and after President Biden became president, the Department of

0:46:48.880 --> 0:46:53.319
<v Speaker 7>Justice announced that it would do an investigation into the

0:46:53.360 --> 0:46:57.080
<v Speaker 7>Louisville Metro Police Department for patterns in practice. Part of

0:46:57.120 --> 0:47:01.239
<v Speaker 7>that was based off of the recognition that came in

0:47:01.400 --> 0:47:04.840
<v Speaker 7>from Breonna Taylor. But in addition to Brionna Taylor, I

0:47:04.920 --> 0:47:07.800
<v Speaker 7>tell people, you know, we had the search warrants. I

0:47:07.920 --> 0:47:12.319
<v Speaker 7>represented a young man, formidable young man named Tayon.

0:47:12.080 --> 0:47:14.920
<v Speaker 6>Lee, who was stopped you know.

0:47:15.040 --> 0:47:17.440
<v Speaker 7>Driving his car in the West End, driving his mother's

0:47:17.480 --> 0:47:20.200
<v Speaker 7>car in the West End, detained forty five minutes to

0:47:20.280 --> 0:47:23.000
<v Speaker 7>an hour simply because he happened to be in the

0:47:23.040 --> 0:47:25.880
<v Speaker 7>wrong neighborhood driving a nice car and being a black male,

0:47:26.480 --> 0:47:28.279
<v Speaker 7>all he wanted to do was go home on his

0:47:28.400 --> 0:47:28.879
<v Speaker 7>day off.

0:47:30.360 --> 0:47:33.040
<v Speaker 6>And you know, we just settled his case last year.

0:47:34.200 --> 0:47:37.239
<v Speaker 7>But there was a pattern of those and the Louis

0:47:37.360 --> 0:47:41.880
<v Speaker 7>Police Department called that a people places narcotics strategy to

0:47:41.960 --> 0:47:46.040
<v Speaker 7>decrease valient crime. But what they were doing was basically

0:47:46.120 --> 0:47:48.920
<v Speaker 7>horizon people in the wrong neighborhood. So their thought was, oh,

0:47:48.920 --> 0:47:52.560
<v Speaker 7>if we find guns come with drugs, and you know,

0:47:52.600 --> 0:47:56.359
<v Speaker 7>if we cracked down on drugs and guns, then you

0:47:56.360 --> 0:47:59.920
<v Speaker 7>know we're reducing crime. But what you were doing were

0:48:00.080 --> 0:48:05.480
<v Speaker 7>I seen innocent young men. We've seen that, you know

0:48:05.560 --> 0:48:08.960
<v Speaker 7>through their investigation the improporate Like when I read the

0:48:09.680 --> 0:48:13.200
<v Speaker 7>Patterns in Practice Practice report for LMPD, you would have

0:48:13.239 --> 0:48:16.680
<v Speaker 7>thought you were in nineteen sixties, like releasing dogs on teenagers.

0:48:16.719 --> 0:48:19.200
<v Speaker 6>Like what world are we living in? That this is okay?

0:48:20.680 --> 0:48:22.759
<v Speaker 6>And so that was ye'ah.

0:48:23.040 --> 0:48:26.920
<v Speaker 7>You know that those patterns in practice binding came down,

0:48:27.360 --> 0:48:29.080
<v Speaker 7>I want to say in twenty twenty two. It's not

0:48:29.120 --> 0:48:35.960
<v Speaker 7>early twenty twenty three. And the mayor team whoever he

0:48:36.040 --> 0:48:38.920
<v Speaker 7>put in place to negotiate on behalf of the city

0:48:39.360 --> 0:48:41.920
<v Speaker 7>and the Department of Justice, which I know, you know

0:48:42.000 --> 0:48:44.880
<v Speaker 7>this is a priority for them to get this content

0:48:45.000 --> 0:48:52.799
<v Speaker 7>decree signed before the administrations change. I've been negotiating, but

0:48:53.120 --> 0:48:56.239
<v Speaker 7>here we are two months out, and what I can say,

0:48:56.239 --> 0:48:58.719
<v Speaker 7>if it's not signed by January nineteenth, it's not gonna

0:48:58.760 --> 0:48:59.799
<v Speaker 7>get signed and.

0:49:00.080 --> 0:49:02.240
<v Speaker 6>It would be business as usual for LMPD.

0:49:02.640 --> 0:49:07.040
<v Speaker 7>And we really need these consent decrees to force change.

0:49:07.200 --> 0:49:08.640
<v Speaker 6>Like we have a new police chief.

0:49:09.120 --> 0:49:11.440
<v Speaker 7>He can't It's only so much you can do if

0:49:11.480 --> 0:49:14.640
<v Speaker 7>you can't say, well, we got to change because we

0:49:14.719 --> 0:49:17.440
<v Speaker 7>got this consent decree. Otherwise will be in valiation of

0:49:17.440 --> 0:49:20.120
<v Speaker 7>a court order because it is monitored about the court.

0:49:20.800 --> 0:49:21.880
<v Speaker 1>It's all about culture.

0:49:22.280 --> 0:49:26.719
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's unbelievable to me. So basically we have two

0:49:26.760 --> 0:49:30.479
<v Speaker 4>months in order to be able to have some type

0:49:30.480 --> 0:49:34.000
<v Speaker 4>of jurisdiction or what these police can do to us,

0:49:34.040 --> 0:49:38.680
<v Speaker 4>and they've already said that they've noted a bunch of

0:49:38.719 --> 0:49:43.400
<v Speaker 4>patterns and practices that are pretty much unconstitutional, and so

0:49:43.440 --> 0:49:45.520
<v Speaker 4>we got to fight for them to actually just do

0:49:45.560 --> 0:49:46.240
<v Speaker 4>the right thing.

0:49:46.680 --> 0:49:48.720
<v Speaker 7>For the mayor to do the right thing and sign

0:49:49.040 --> 0:49:51.680
<v Speaker 7>the consent decree. And when we say two months, it's

0:49:51.680 --> 0:49:54.520
<v Speaker 7>because of what happened with the election. If we weren't

0:49:55.200 --> 0:49:57.360
<v Speaker 7>if November seventh, it turned out differently.

0:49:58.239 --> 0:50:01.080
<v Speaker 6>It may not. It still needs to be signed, but

0:50:01.160 --> 0:50:04.400
<v Speaker 6>it's not as high of a like.

0:50:04.800 --> 0:50:07.480
<v Speaker 7>I don't think BP Harris would have been saying we're

0:50:07.520 --> 0:50:11.279
<v Speaker 7>not going to do consent decrees. But we know that

0:50:11.360 --> 0:50:14.400
<v Speaker 7>Donald Trump would do that because one, he did it

0:50:14.520 --> 0:50:16.600
<v Speaker 7>the first time he was elected, you know, when he

0:50:16.640 --> 0:50:20.399
<v Speaker 7>took office in twenty seventeen, and two he already wants

0:50:20.440 --> 0:50:22.719
<v Speaker 7>officers to have full immunity, So what the hell would

0:50:22.719 --> 0:50:26.200
<v Speaker 7>why would he do it content decree? So that's why

0:50:26.239 --> 0:50:28.920
<v Speaker 7>we are at the space that we are at. And

0:50:28.960 --> 0:50:32.239
<v Speaker 7>I feel like, for me, for as much work as

0:50:32.280 --> 0:50:35.160
<v Speaker 7>everyone on this callee put in, for as much work

0:50:35.200 --> 0:50:39.120
<v Speaker 7>as everybody in the city has put in, if our

0:50:39.160 --> 0:50:40.960
<v Speaker 7>mayor is not willing to sign it, then like.

0:50:42.880 --> 0:50:45.000
<v Speaker 1>That's another issue, a whole other issue.

0:50:45.040 --> 0:50:46.239
<v Speaker 6>But it's time for him to go too.

0:50:46.719 --> 0:50:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I'm gonna say that.

0:50:49.080 --> 0:50:51.399
<v Speaker 8>Before we go on, or do want to like, let

0:50:51.400 --> 0:50:55.600
<v Speaker 8>the folks know what exactly those things were that were

0:50:55.600 --> 0:51:00.200
<v Speaker 8>in that report absolutely so specifically the Justice Apartment and

0:51:00.320 --> 0:51:06.239
<v Speaker 8>found that LMPD uses excessive force, including unjustified net restraints

0:51:06.239 --> 0:51:10.680
<v Speaker 8>and unreasonable use of police dogs and tasers. Conduct searches

0:51:10.719 --> 0:51:16.360
<v Speaker 8>based on invalid warrants, unlawfully execute search warrants without knocking

0:51:16.400 --> 0:51:21.799
<v Speaker 8>and announcing, unlawfully stops searches, detains and arrests people during

0:51:21.840 --> 0:51:28.080
<v Speaker 8>street enforcement activities, including traffic and pedestrian stops, unlawfully discriminates

0:51:28.120 --> 0:51:32.800
<v Speaker 8>against black people and its enforcement activities, violates the rights

0:51:32.840 --> 0:51:37.480
<v Speaker 8>of people engaged in protected free speech critical of police.

0:51:37.920 --> 0:51:42.520
<v Speaker 8>And the last thing they found was that LMPD discriminates

0:51:42.560 --> 0:51:47.879
<v Speaker 8>against people with behavioral health disabilities room responding to crisses.

0:51:48.560 --> 0:51:50.760
<v Speaker 1>That's a list. That's a long list.

0:51:51.160 --> 0:51:52.160
<v Speaker 3>That's a long list.

0:51:52.560 --> 0:51:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Representative Haraan, why would your man not sign? What is

0:51:56.360 --> 0:51:58.520
<v Speaker 1>he saying? What's the issue at this point?

0:51:59.320 --> 0:52:01.759
<v Speaker 8>I mean, I think if you look at what he

0:52:01.840 --> 0:52:04.520
<v Speaker 8>is saying publicly, he just basically said that they're not

0:52:04.600 --> 0:52:09.560
<v Speaker 8>in agreeans but has not gone into detail exactly what

0:52:09.640 --> 0:52:13.040
<v Speaker 8>that means. But publicly that is what he is saying

0:52:13.120 --> 0:52:17.040
<v Speaker 8>that currently they do not agree. The two parties have

0:52:17.160 --> 0:52:20.640
<v Speaker 8>not come on an agreeance. I think the other thing

0:52:21.040 --> 0:52:23.319
<v Speaker 8>that I want people to know and understand is that

0:52:23.800 --> 0:52:26.759
<v Speaker 8>the community has never been a part of the process

0:52:26.880 --> 0:52:30.239
<v Speaker 8>once the negotiation is started, So we're actually also in

0:52:30.360 --> 0:52:33.480
<v Speaker 8>a place where we're putting trust in the current administration

0:52:33.880 --> 0:52:37.480
<v Speaker 8>and putting trust in the DOJ that whatever comes out

0:52:37.560 --> 0:52:40.440
<v Speaker 8>of it, that we're trusting that that is what we

0:52:40.480 --> 0:52:41.560
<v Speaker 8>want as a community.

0:52:41.960 --> 0:52:42.359
<v Speaker 3>And so.

0:52:44.600 --> 0:52:47.600
<v Speaker 8>You know, it's so it's a lot so like right now,

0:52:47.640 --> 0:52:51.080
<v Speaker 8>we're literally putting our trust in these two entities that

0:52:51.120 --> 0:52:53.960
<v Speaker 8>they're going to do right by the people. And so

0:52:54.160 --> 0:52:56.920
<v Speaker 8>as we're saying we need to get this done before

0:52:57.040 --> 0:53:01.239
<v Speaker 8>January nineteenth, we still haven't even had it even been

0:53:01.280 --> 0:53:05.480
<v Speaker 8>a part of that deeper conversation about what exactly is

0:53:05.960 --> 0:53:10.200
<v Speaker 8>the negotiations right now or who actually from.

0:53:10.040 --> 0:53:12.479
<v Speaker 3>The city is a part of the negotiation. We don't

0:53:12.480 --> 0:53:13.120
<v Speaker 3>know what that is.

0:53:13.440 --> 0:53:19.080
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned that our councilwoman, Shamika parish Wright has also joined.

0:53:19.640 --> 0:53:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much for Shamika for coming in and

0:53:22.600 --> 0:53:24.680
<v Speaker 2>being with us. Counselwoman, please.

0:53:26.360 --> 0:53:30.000
<v Speaker 5>Thank you first, good afternoon, and it's an honor to

0:53:30.040 --> 0:53:32.880
<v Speaker 5>be here and I really appreciate you all. Keeping as

0:53:32.920 --> 0:53:36.440
<v Speaker 5>fire lit, I told Tamika, the timing is perfect, and

0:53:36.480 --> 0:53:38.839
<v Speaker 5>I'm glad that we have a Kentucky lawyer who is

0:53:39.160 --> 0:53:41.959
<v Speaker 5>very amazing and capable. So if I say some things

0:53:41.960 --> 0:53:45.440
<v Speaker 5>that ain't right, you could get me right. But I

0:53:45.640 --> 0:53:49.920
<v Speaker 5>first want to thank now Senator Electator hearing. That is

0:53:49.960 --> 0:53:52.680
<v Speaker 5>the phenomenal to know that you're going to be carrying

0:53:53.280 --> 0:53:56.399
<v Speaker 5>justice and equality and all those things at that level

0:53:56.440 --> 0:54:00.239
<v Speaker 5>because we really really need it. And today we had

0:54:00.239 --> 0:54:03.960
<v Speaker 5>a press conference right at in Justice Square aka Jefferson Square,

0:54:04.440 --> 0:54:08.400
<v Speaker 5>right where the marker is signifying what happened to Breonna

0:54:08.440 --> 0:54:12.600
<v Speaker 5>Taylor and all the subsequent best David McAtee and Tyler

0:54:12.640 --> 0:54:15.719
<v Speaker 5>Gerf and everyone else that's been connected. It's been an

0:54:15.760 --> 0:54:18.279
<v Speaker 5>ongoing battle. I don't know about you all, because you

0:54:18.320 --> 0:54:21.640
<v Speaker 5>all have been day one down on the ground too,

0:54:21.880 --> 0:54:26.080
<v Speaker 5>but it's been an up and down roller coaster and

0:54:26.160 --> 0:54:30.280
<v Speaker 5>as my son alluded to, it just seems like never ending,

0:54:30.400 --> 0:54:32.920
<v Speaker 5>you know, an accountability I don't know. I got in

0:54:33.000 --> 0:54:34.719
<v Speaker 5>trouble a lot when I was younger. I don't know

0:54:34.760 --> 0:54:37.800
<v Speaker 5>about you all, and the only choice I had sometimes

0:54:38.160 --> 0:54:42.520
<v Speaker 5>was to choose a switch or a belt or punishment,

0:54:43.480 --> 0:54:46.120
<v Speaker 5>and to me, punishment was the worst. But I knew

0:54:46.120 --> 0:54:48.239
<v Speaker 5>that with the switch or the belt it'll be over

0:54:48.280 --> 0:54:52.240
<v Speaker 5>with quick. The problem is is that LMPD is trying

0:54:52.280 --> 0:54:55.600
<v Speaker 5>to continue through the mayor, because the mayor is now

0:54:55.719 --> 0:54:58.600
<v Speaker 5>as a puppet we have one of our deputy mayors

0:54:58.600 --> 0:55:02.080
<v Speaker 5>that is a former police officer that still operates, was

0:55:02.120 --> 0:55:05.399
<v Speaker 5>once over the FOP was once he was there when

0:55:05.400 --> 0:55:07.680
<v Speaker 5>they had a recent consent decree. This is our second

0:55:08.040 --> 0:55:11.759
<v Speaker 5>consent decree in recent history. The first one was on

0:55:11.840 --> 0:55:15.800
<v Speaker 5>the hiring practices, and he was there this this deputy

0:55:15.880 --> 0:55:18.680
<v Speaker 5>mayor was there doing that part of the process and

0:55:18.719 --> 0:55:21.120
<v Speaker 5>maybe it helped him as a black man on the

0:55:21.120 --> 0:55:24.600
<v Speaker 5>police force. But right now what we have is people

0:55:24.719 --> 0:55:27.280
<v Speaker 5>the police who have been policing themselves the whole time,

0:55:27.760 --> 0:55:30.200
<v Speaker 5>trying to tell us. They didn't tell us how they

0:55:30.200 --> 0:55:31.600
<v Speaker 5>were going to hurt us, but they're trying to tell

0:55:31.680 --> 0:55:34.600
<v Speaker 5>us how we should heal. So they're looking for an

0:55:34.640 --> 0:55:37.239
<v Speaker 5>exit date. They said that they looked at all these

0:55:37.280 --> 0:55:40.480
<v Speaker 5>different content decrees in other places and they seem to

0:55:40.560 --> 0:55:44.200
<v Speaker 5>go on with the monitoring and they want to make sure.

0:55:44.120 --> 0:55:46.160
<v Speaker 9>That there's a real clear exit strategy.

0:55:47.680 --> 0:55:51.320
<v Speaker 10>One of the reasons, one of the reasons we have

0:55:52.320 --> 0:55:56.640
<v Speaker 10>were giving to what was given to why the mayor isn't,

0:55:56.840 --> 0:55:58.400
<v Speaker 10>as you know, trying to sign it.

0:55:58.760 --> 0:56:01.960
<v Speaker 5>But they say different things. They talked about both sides

0:56:01.960 --> 0:56:05.200
<v Speaker 5>of their mouth. They say in one press conference by

0:56:05.280 --> 0:56:08.840
<v Speaker 5>Thanksgiving we should have something, and that the mayor is

0:56:08.920 --> 0:56:11.279
<v Speaker 5>eager to sign it. And then when I was just

0:56:11.400 --> 0:56:14.520
<v Speaker 5>in a council meeting before our regular council meeting, it

0:56:14.600 --> 0:56:16.920
<v Speaker 5>was announced that the mayor wants to make sure that

0:56:16.960 --> 0:56:19.760
<v Speaker 5>there's an extra strategy and in one of the council

0:56:19.800 --> 0:56:24.000
<v Speaker 5>people alluded to the ongoing cost of monitoring. So my

0:56:24.080 --> 0:56:28.080
<v Speaker 5>thing is, so what whatever it costs, LMPD earned it.

0:56:28.400 --> 0:56:31.239
<v Speaker 5>That is the narrative that we must all be united on.

0:56:31.640 --> 0:56:34.680
<v Speaker 5>They earned this concept decree. You don't get to tell

0:56:34.800 --> 0:56:37.480
<v Speaker 5>us when it ends. You don't get to try to

0:56:37.560 --> 0:56:39.240
<v Speaker 5>maintain and monitor.

0:56:39.320 --> 0:56:41.080
<v Speaker 9>What you get out of your as.

0:56:40.960 --> 0:56:44.880
<v Speaker 5>Your punishment or your consequences. Because this has happened before,

0:56:45.200 --> 0:56:48.760
<v Speaker 5>our LMPD is our the same Louisville Metro Police Department

0:56:49.080 --> 0:56:53.080
<v Speaker 5>accused of hurting young children in their Explorer program, raping

0:56:53.160 --> 0:56:56.880
<v Speaker 5>young children, raping women. There's nothing in our books for that.

0:56:57.280 --> 0:57:00.680
<v Speaker 5>I'm thankful for the work of representative hearing because without

0:57:00.719 --> 0:57:03.120
<v Speaker 5>that we wouldn't even have a formal no more, no

0:57:03.239 --> 0:57:06.680
<v Speaker 5>knocks on the books. I'm thankful for the States, but

0:57:06.719 --> 0:57:10.279
<v Speaker 5>there's been nothing really significant. So the DOJ response is

0:57:10.280 --> 0:57:12.920
<v Speaker 5>a federal response, and what we need is a local

0:57:13.080 --> 0:57:16.400
<v Speaker 5>response that helps us hold them accountable, which is why

0:57:16.440 --> 0:57:19.520
<v Speaker 5>I followed the People's Consent to cree and that has

0:57:19.560 --> 0:57:22.520
<v Speaker 5>exactly what Caturrn Hearing laid out, as well as the

0:57:22.600 --> 0:57:25.800
<v Speaker 5>History of Policing report. It's their words, it's the words

0:57:25.800 --> 0:57:28.520
<v Speaker 5>that they've accepted, that they put on their website, and

0:57:28.600 --> 0:57:32.520
<v Speaker 5>to get my colleagues to pass a resolution meant for them.

0:57:32.560 --> 0:57:36.120
<v Speaker 5>They couldn't hold too truth. You can want the most trusted, trained,

0:57:36.640 --> 0:57:40.360
<v Speaker 5>well paid police department, but they still are held accountable

0:57:40.560 --> 0:57:44.320
<v Speaker 5>because basically we're paying them and they're violating human rights

0:57:44.360 --> 0:57:47.640
<v Speaker 5>and civil rights and there's no repercussion. And if you

0:57:47.720 --> 0:57:50.240
<v Speaker 5>really want to stop the gang balance and the balance

0:57:50.240 --> 0:57:53.000
<v Speaker 5>that we see, that balance happens in board rooms, it

0:57:53.000 --> 0:57:55.200
<v Speaker 5>happens before we see it on the ground, and it

0:57:55.280 --> 0:57:58.960
<v Speaker 5>definitely happens with our police department. So we have so

0:57:59.120 --> 0:58:02.760
<v Speaker 5>many fronts on I just appreciate being able to be

0:58:02.800 --> 0:58:06.280
<v Speaker 5>a part of this communication. I plan to refoul the

0:58:06.320 --> 0:58:09.760
<v Speaker 5>People's Consent decree. It passed out of committee and then

0:58:09.960 --> 0:58:12.560
<v Speaker 5>it got sold when it went to the whole council,

0:58:12.640 --> 0:58:17.800
<v Speaker 5>and so I wrote our council for council, I wrote

0:58:17.800 --> 0:58:19.440
<v Speaker 5>them and asked them, what do I need to do

0:58:19.520 --> 0:58:22.520
<v Speaker 5>to foul this again, because we have nothing in writing

0:58:22.640 --> 0:58:25.840
<v Speaker 5>to meet in mine soon on our books that really

0:58:26.360 --> 0:58:29.760
<v Speaker 5>acknowledges what has happened. This federal response is one thing,

0:58:30.240 --> 0:58:32.760
<v Speaker 5>but we don't have anything that signifies what happens so

0:58:32.840 --> 0:58:34.880
<v Speaker 5>that we can hold them accountable going forward.

0:58:36.760 --> 0:58:40.000
<v Speaker 7>I think one thing with that though, too, is we

0:58:40.040 --> 0:58:44.280
<v Speaker 7>do have to be cognizant of Like I'm in support

0:58:44.320 --> 0:58:47.200
<v Speaker 7>of the people's consent decree, but I also don't want

0:58:47.240 --> 0:58:52.080
<v Speaker 7>to confuse constituents in we have a federal consent decree

0:58:52.120 --> 0:58:55.720
<v Speaker 7>which the federal courts can enforce, and so there is

0:58:55.760 --> 0:59:01.080
<v Speaker 7>that enforceability mechanism within that consent decree. And I you know,

0:59:01.200 --> 0:59:03.600
<v Speaker 7>I've seen the work that Kristin Clark has been putting

0:59:03.600 --> 0:59:05.880
<v Speaker 7>in around the country, not just in Louisville.

0:59:05.880 --> 0:59:08.160
<v Speaker 6>Like this isn't just something she's doing in Louisville.

0:59:08.560 --> 0:59:08.680
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

0:59:08.840 --> 0:59:12.280
<v Speaker 7>She comes from Tamika, you know, Kristen, she She's got

0:59:12.280 --> 0:59:16.000
<v Speaker 7>a long pedigree from Lawyer's Committee for Civil Rights under

0:59:16.040 --> 0:59:20.600
<v Speaker 7>the Law to you know that this appointment and you know,

0:59:20.720 --> 0:59:24.000
<v Speaker 7>her office being the one that led the is leading

0:59:24.040 --> 0:59:28.320
<v Speaker 7>the criminal prosecutions for the officers against Breonna Taylor, her

0:59:28.360 --> 0:59:31.600
<v Speaker 7>office being the ones that you know did the criminal

0:59:31.600 --> 0:59:34.440
<v Speaker 7>prosecutions against the officers that was throwing to Slashy.

0:59:34.520 --> 0:59:36.080
<v Speaker 6>So it's like her office.

0:59:35.720 --> 0:59:40.480
<v Speaker 7>Has been the one holding these people responsible for even

0:59:40.680 --> 0:59:43.600
<v Speaker 7>the little bit of respons is. It's it's a small

0:59:43.920 --> 0:59:47.040
<v Speaker 7>measure of accountability for what needs to be happened. But

0:59:47.200 --> 0:59:51.880
<v Speaker 7>any type of accountability that's come, whether it's in Brianna

0:59:51.960 --> 0:59:54.520
<v Speaker 7>Taylor's case or whether it's in other cases the civil

0:59:54.640 --> 0:59:58.600
<v Speaker 7>rights violations, it's coming from her office.

0:59:58.720 --> 0:59:59.960
<v Speaker 6>And so I have a lot of faith.

1:00:00.040 --> 1:00:02.640
<v Speaker 7>It's like when we talk about what's in that consent decree,

1:00:03.080 --> 1:00:06.040
<v Speaker 7>Kristen ain't letting no bs come through that consent decree.

1:00:06.560 --> 1:00:09.320
<v Speaker 7>And so like when I say like pushing consent like

1:00:09.440 --> 1:00:13.720
<v Speaker 7>before January nineteenth, like to me, I feel like may

1:00:13.840 --> 1:00:16.720
<v Speaker 7>Greenberger has stalled it out and you know he's sought

1:00:16.760 --> 1:00:18.960
<v Speaker 7>it out to see what's gonna happen with the election,

1:00:19.440 --> 1:00:21.720
<v Speaker 7>and then like, oh the election turned out, you know,

1:00:22.480 --> 1:00:24.880
<v Speaker 7>we might get away without actually ever having.

1:00:24.600 --> 1:00:26.600
<v Speaker 6>To sound one. And it's like, nah, we shouldn't let

1:00:26.640 --> 1:00:27.080
<v Speaker 6>that ride.

1:00:27.200 --> 1:00:29.440
<v Speaker 7>Like this department is no better than it was when

1:00:29.480 --> 1:00:31.360
<v Speaker 7>they issued that report. And you set up here and

1:00:31.360 --> 1:00:33.760
<v Speaker 7>it's like, oh, we're going to accept the accountability and

1:00:33.800 --> 1:00:35.600
<v Speaker 7>da da da. And at the end of the day,

1:00:35.640 --> 1:00:37.680
<v Speaker 7>when we talk about how much it's gonna cost to

1:00:37.760 --> 1:00:40.280
<v Speaker 7>monitor it, what I can tell you is these lawsuits

1:00:40.320 --> 1:00:42.560
<v Speaker 7>that continue to come costs more than the cost to

1:00:42.600 --> 1:00:45.640
<v Speaker 7>monitor it because they continue to get sued back to

1:00:45.680 --> 1:00:49.000
<v Speaker 7>back to back. Like people are taking this patterns and

1:00:49.040 --> 1:00:54.760
<v Speaker 7>practice investigation finding, they're taking like the civil rights attorneys

1:00:54.760 --> 1:00:56.440
<v Speaker 7>are taking it in court, like look what they do,

1:00:56.520 --> 1:00:58.920
<v Speaker 7>Like it's ain't just they can't say they didn't know,

1:00:58.920 --> 1:01:01.520
<v Speaker 7>they've been valid and they continuing to do it.

1:01:01.800 --> 1:01:03.640
<v Speaker 6>So like we have to change.

1:01:04.080 --> 1:01:07.320
<v Speaker 7>And if they're not going to change, like mayor, by

1:01:07.560 --> 1:01:08.120
<v Speaker 7>bye bye.

1:01:08.920 --> 1:01:11.440
<v Speaker 3>So what do you think what should be the next steps?

1:01:11.440 --> 1:01:12.560
<v Speaker 3>What can people do?

1:01:12.880 --> 1:01:15.560
<v Speaker 4>Like, you know, Katura was talking about how there is

1:01:15.640 --> 1:01:20.000
<v Speaker 4>nobody part of you know, the community that has any

1:01:20.040 --> 1:01:22.800
<v Speaker 4>input inside of what happened in is discent decrease. So

1:01:22.840 --> 1:01:26.760
<v Speaker 4>what can just the people in constituents and the citizens

1:01:26.800 --> 1:01:29.720
<v Speaker 4>do to help move this forward.

1:01:29.800 --> 1:01:33.720
<v Speaker 8>I think the biggest thing right now is there has

1:01:33.800 --> 1:01:36.720
<v Speaker 8>to be all hands on deck and pressure for the

1:01:36.720 --> 1:01:40.040
<v Speaker 8>mayor's office to sign it, you know, and people can

1:01:40.120 --> 1:01:43.360
<v Speaker 8>do that by a calling directly to the Mayor's office.

1:01:43.400 --> 1:01:46.840
<v Speaker 8>People can also call their Metro Council members. Obviously we

1:01:46.920 --> 1:01:51.000
<v Speaker 8>have Councilwoman Paris right who's on board. But the same

1:01:51.040 --> 1:01:57.680
<v Speaker 8>way that we had the line going when it came

1:01:57.720 --> 1:02:01.320
<v Speaker 8>to Breonna Taylor in twenty twenty, when you call Metro

1:02:01.440 --> 1:02:04.320
<v Speaker 8>Council literally on that line and said, if you're calling

1:02:04.400 --> 1:02:08.160
<v Speaker 8>regard Breonna Taylor, press one, all other inquiries press two,

1:02:08.640 --> 1:02:10.560
<v Speaker 8>and that's the same type of pressure that needs to

1:02:10.560 --> 1:02:13.080
<v Speaker 8>be put back on that. They need to note that

1:02:13.360 --> 1:02:16.120
<v Speaker 8>the people are serious and that this needs to be

1:02:16.240 --> 1:02:20.160
<v Speaker 8>signed because of significance. No matter what the next administration

1:02:20.280 --> 1:02:24.040
<v Speaker 8>is gonna do, this is the responsibility of the mayor.

1:02:23.760 --> 1:02:24.800
<v Speaker 3>And this administration.

1:02:25.120 --> 1:02:28.600
<v Speaker 8>We can't wait to see what a Trump administration's gonna do,

1:02:29.000 --> 1:02:31.920
<v Speaker 8>whether he's gonna take them away or not. We'll deal

1:02:31.960 --> 1:02:35.560
<v Speaker 8>with that when that piece comes, but right now, the

1:02:35.600 --> 1:02:38.600
<v Speaker 8>Mayor's office they need to do everything in their power

1:02:39.040 --> 1:02:41.400
<v Speaker 8>to put that pen to that paper and sign it

1:02:41.680 --> 1:02:44.960
<v Speaker 8>and to get on the contract to make sure that

1:02:45.040 --> 1:02:48.000
<v Speaker 8>the people of Louisville are protected, and then for him

1:02:48.400 --> 1:02:50.240
<v Speaker 8>to hold truth to what he said that he was

1:02:50.280 --> 1:02:53.320
<v Speaker 8>gonna do when the people elected him right, And.

1:02:53.440 --> 1:02:57.640
<v Speaker 2>I think that's so important because regardless of what happens

1:02:57.640 --> 1:03:01.640
<v Speaker 2>with Trump, he still has a re election for himself.

1:03:01.920 --> 1:03:05.520
<v Speaker 2>The mayor is going to want to run for reelection,

1:03:05.680 --> 1:03:09.280
<v Speaker 2>and people need to be able to measure him, not

1:03:09.480 --> 1:03:13.320
<v Speaker 2>by Kristen Clark, not by Donald Trump, not by any

1:03:13.440 --> 1:03:15.840
<v Speaker 2>of those measures. It needs to be based upon his

1:03:15.920 --> 1:03:20.680
<v Speaker 2>own merit and what he has done. And so I think,

1:03:20.760 --> 1:03:23.800
<v Speaker 2>I think you're one hundred percent right that we have

1:03:23.880 --> 1:03:26.080
<v Speaker 2>to turn up the energy. That's why we wanted to

1:03:26.120 --> 1:03:29.200
<v Speaker 2>have this conversation today so that people can have the

1:03:29.240 --> 1:03:35.440
<v Speaker 2>information they need. It is very challenging when you're working, studying,

1:03:36.320 --> 1:03:41.000
<v Speaker 2>living your life to understand everything that's happening around you,

1:03:41.200 --> 1:03:45.640
<v Speaker 2>especially in terms of the political atmosphere, and it is

1:03:45.680 --> 1:03:48.320
<v Speaker 2>important for us to break it down and bite size

1:03:48.360 --> 1:03:51.880
<v Speaker 2>pieces so people can say that I understand that, I

1:03:51.920 --> 1:03:54.160
<v Speaker 2>want to get behind that I want to fight for it.

1:03:54.400 --> 1:03:57.040
<v Speaker 2>A lot of times we say that our communities are

1:03:57.080 --> 1:03:59.800
<v Speaker 2>not really involved in things, and it's literally because they

1:03:59.800 --> 1:04:02.880
<v Speaker 2>don't understand because no one has explained it to them.

1:04:03.120 --> 1:04:05.320
<v Speaker 2>And so I think, you know, getting out there and

1:04:05.640 --> 1:04:09.880
<v Speaker 2>you know and making sure that every Lotty Dottie and everybody,

1:04:09.920 --> 1:04:13.400
<v Speaker 2>as they say, knows exactly what's happening in this moment

1:04:13.480 --> 1:04:15.560
<v Speaker 2>is going to be important, and that's the work of

1:04:15.560 --> 1:04:18.320
<v Speaker 2>the foot soldiers, you know, those of us who knock

1:04:18.360 --> 1:04:20.880
<v Speaker 2>on doors, who talk to folks and getting that type

1:04:20.880 --> 1:04:24.720
<v Speaker 2>of information out there. So I know you also wear

1:04:24.760 --> 1:04:30.480
<v Speaker 2>another hat, counsel woman, of also being a vocal Kentucky

1:04:31.320 --> 1:04:33.480
<v Speaker 2>And I'm sure you all are already working on this,

1:04:33.560 --> 1:04:36.360
<v Speaker 2>but I feel like what people who are listening can

1:04:36.440 --> 1:04:39.440
<v Speaker 2>do is to get the information that they need to

1:04:39.480 --> 1:04:43.400
<v Speaker 2>go push it out into the corners of the city.

1:04:43.480 --> 1:04:46.160
<v Speaker 2>So talk about that. But I want to make sure

1:04:47.160 --> 1:04:50.640
<v Speaker 2>Representative Iran that you are able to come back and

1:04:50.880 --> 1:04:55.360
<v Speaker 2>really briefly before you go today. This is Louisville, but

1:04:55.480 --> 1:05:00.480
<v Speaker 2>this issue is not only a Louisville issue. This is

1:05:00.600 --> 1:05:03.600
<v Speaker 2>i'm sure all of Kentucky, and we need to consent

1:05:03.680 --> 1:05:08.720
<v Speaker 2>to decree in America in general over all, the police departments,

1:05:08.760 --> 1:05:10.680
<v Speaker 2>all of that, right, we need all.

1:05:10.520 --> 1:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Of it, all of them.

1:05:12.000 --> 1:05:15.400
<v Speaker 2>So I want you to talk about what do you

1:05:15.520 --> 1:05:18.480
<v Speaker 2>see in terms of the importance of this for the

1:05:18.760 --> 1:05:22.439
<v Speaker 2>entire state of Kentucky, because I'm sure there are other

1:05:22.520 --> 1:05:25.880
<v Speaker 2>pockets that are under your purview. Who have similar issues

1:05:25.920 --> 1:05:29.600
<v Speaker 2>that are not being addressed. So one first, we'll go

1:05:29.600 --> 1:05:33.240
<v Speaker 2>with you, Shamika, and then Katura.

1:05:32.200 --> 1:05:34.560
<v Speaker 5>Thank you for that, and I answer you and my

1:05:34.680 --> 1:05:38.680
<v Speaker 5>song questions. That is exactly it. The community organizing has

1:05:38.680 --> 1:05:41.640
<v Speaker 5>to happen no matter what three sixty five, whether somebody

1:05:41.680 --> 1:05:44.560
<v Speaker 5>is running or not. The awareness to making this work

1:05:44.640 --> 1:05:48.280
<v Speaker 5>digestible in different levels and for people to understand their roles.

1:05:48.360 --> 1:05:50.280
<v Speaker 5>I think that there's a lot of things that people

1:05:50.360 --> 1:05:53.560
<v Speaker 5>can do within their discretion that they don't realize they

1:05:53.560 --> 1:05:57.960
<v Speaker 5>can do. And so education that is continuous, that's reciprocated

1:05:58.120 --> 1:06:01.000
<v Speaker 5>is so important through this process and making sure that

1:06:01.040 --> 1:06:03.280
<v Speaker 5>we show up or the good thing is I have

1:06:03.400 --> 1:06:05.960
<v Speaker 5>my counsel role, and then as you said, I have

1:06:06.320 --> 1:06:09.120
<v Speaker 5>the role as the director of an organization that is

1:06:09.160 --> 1:06:12.360
<v Speaker 5>fighting for people to not be incarcerated, to not have

1:06:12.440 --> 1:06:15.080
<v Speaker 5>their rights violated, to be able to meet people where

1:06:15.120 --> 1:06:17.760
<v Speaker 5>they at. And these are people who are directly intacted,

1:06:17.960 --> 1:06:20.320
<v Speaker 5>who are now being asked to be at decision making

1:06:20.360 --> 1:06:24.280
<v Speaker 5>tables at judiciary hearings to be able to articulate their story.

1:06:24.320 --> 1:06:27.280
<v Speaker 5>So they're a storytelling part of this. And I totally

1:06:27.320 --> 1:06:31.760
<v Speaker 5>agree with LENNINGA. Baker on. My distrust is not with

1:06:32.280 --> 1:06:35.439
<v Speaker 5>that part of what Christian Clark and other folks are doing.

1:06:35.840 --> 1:06:38.680
<v Speaker 5>My issue is that we make things, we paint things

1:06:38.760 --> 1:06:41.680
<v Speaker 5>with our current administration for one thing.

1:06:41.520 --> 1:06:43.200
<v Speaker 9>In the media, but if we don't have a.

1:06:43.200 --> 1:06:46.040
<v Speaker 5>Way to hold them accountable locally, then it's just the

1:06:46.080 --> 1:06:48.800
<v Speaker 5>same old thing as we've seen the police police in themselves.

1:06:48.840 --> 1:06:50.680
<v Speaker 5>So one of the other jobs we have to do,

1:06:51.120 --> 1:06:53.600
<v Speaker 5>and I'm hoping that the People's consent decree.

1:06:53.680 --> 1:06:56.880
<v Speaker 9>Adds to it, is keep that fire lit. Keep the

1:06:56.920 --> 1:06:59.640
<v Speaker 9>fire lit because the mayor cares about his name and

1:06:59.640 --> 1:07:02.280
<v Speaker 9>the press because he's working on getting re elected, like

1:07:02.480 --> 1:07:05.480
<v Speaker 9>Nita saying, and election has its consequences as we all

1:07:05.480 --> 1:07:08.400
<v Speaker 9>are still processing and dealing with the most recent elections.

1:07:08.400 --> 1:07:10.720
<v Speaker 9>So I think that we have to be both in

1:07:10.800 --> 1:07:13.080
<v Speaker 9>and we have to know who our allies are and

1:07:13.200 --> 1:07:14.920
<v Speaker 9>work with them. I think the work that you all

1:07:15.040 --> 1:07:19.480
<v Speaker 9>are doing is phenomenal because until freedom can bring that

1:07:19.600 --> 1:07:22.000
<v Speaker 9>national platform, keep that national heat on.

1:07:22.360 --> 1:07:25.040
<v Speaker 5>And I think what Katura is doing is amazing because

1:07:25.480 --> 1:07:27.959
<v Speaker 5>her work and our work with Vocal, we're going into

1:07:27.960 --> 1:07:30.919
<v Speaker 5>the hoods, the hollows, the suburban, the urban, and we're

1:07:30.960 --> 1:07:33.600
<v Speaker 5>talking to people and guess what, It's less about their

1:07:33.640 --> 1:07:36.800
<v Speaker 5>party affiliation, less about the lines that separate them, and

1:07:36.840 --> 1:07:39.200
<v Speaker 5>it's more about these issues. And as you said to me,

1:07:39.240 --> 1:07:42.560
<v Speaker 5>because the same issues people are dealing with in these

1:07:42.600 --> 1:07:46.120
<v Speaker 5>hoods and in these counties where everybody knows everybody, and

1:07:46.160 --> 1:07:49.560
<v Speaker 5>they use the judicial system to further bully the people.

1:07:49.840 --> 1:07:51.640
<v Speaker 5>And so we got to make sure that we're showing

1:07:51.760 --> 1:07:53.240
<v Speaker 5>up for people in every way. So we're going to

1:07:53.280 --> 1:07:56.560
<v Speaker 5>continue the base build, We're going to continue to mobilize,

1:07:56.600 --> 1:07:58.840
<v Speaker 5>We're going to continue to get more people engaged in

1:07:58.880 --> 1:08:02.480
<v Speaker 5>our organization and the other partner organizations. And then we

1:08:02.560 --> 1:08:05.280
<v Speaker 5>also want to push for people to be appointed to

1:08:05.320 --> 1:08:08.680
<v Speaker 5>these seats as commissioners, as being a part of where

1:08:08.680 --> 1:08:10.960
<v Speaker 5>these decisions are being made and where we can push

1:08:11.000 --> 1:08:13.680
<v Speaker 5>people to use their discretion, because a lot of people

1:08:13.720 --> 1:08:16.040
<v Speaker 5>need to be engaged in this work, not just our

1:08:16.040 --> 1:08:18.920
<v Speaker 5>foot soldiers, of course, but sometimes we have people who

1:08:19.000 --> 1:08:22.400
<v Speaker 5>work within the government or within the agencies who can

1:08:22.439 --> 1:08:23.920
<v Speaker 5>lift up their voices and be a.

1:08:23.880 --> 1:08:24.320
<v Speaker 9>Part of this.

1:08:24.439 --> 1:08:27.759
<v Speaker 5>So I think the empowerment to standing with our folks

1:08:27.880 --> 1:08:30.320
<v Speaker 5>when they are making the right decisions, to having their

1:08:30.360 --> 1:08:33.679
<v Speaker 5>back when things are going well, and to build a culture,

1:08:33.920 --> 1:08:36.760
<v Speaker 5>because you talked about culture change earlier, to build a

1:08:36.800 --> 1:08:39.920
<v Speaker 5>culture where people can actually stand on the right side

1:08:39.920 --> 1:08:42.639
<v Speaker 5>of this penimum that we know is moving towards justice

1:08:42.840 --> 1:08:46.200
<v Speaker 5>and feel supported. Because we still operate as a small

1:08:46.240 --> 1:08:48.360
<v Speaker 5>town in Kentucky where they can pick up the phone

1:08:48.640 --> 1:08:50.760
<v Speaker 5>and shut you down, and so people worry about their

1:08:50.840 --> 1:08:53.240
<v Speaker 5>jobs and their housing. So we're trying to find ways

1:08:53.240 --> 1:08:55.280
<v Speaker 5>where people can take a part of this and still

1:08:55.280 --> 1:08:56.840
<v Speaker 5>have a home to go to and still have a

1:08:56.920 --> 1:08:59.719
<v Speaker 5>job to go to. So I'm in it to wherever

1:08:59.800 --> 1:09:02.639
<v Speaker 5>our vocal folks are in it and other organizing groups

1:09:02.680 --> 1:09:04.519
<v Speaker 5>are in it, and I want to be connected to

1:09:04.560 --> 1:09:05.439
<v Speaker 5>what you all are doing.

1:09:07.520 --> 1:09:09.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's good, Shamikha.

1:09:09.920 --> 1:09:13.040
<v Speaker 8>And as you spoke about the hood to the holler

1:09:13.120 --> 1:09:17.479
<v Speaker 8>and the urban and suburban, this police misconduct is happening

1:09:17.520 --> 1:09:20.760
<v Speaker 8>all over the state of Kentucky, and so as you said,

1:09:20.800 --> 1:09:23.519
<v Speaker 8>why is it important that we do this here, It's

1:09:23.560 --> 1:09:27.120
<v Speaker 8>important because we need to send a message across the commonwealth.

1:09:27.840 --> 1:09:30.439
<v Speaker 8>Just last week, there was a family of a white guy,

1:09:30.479 --> 1:09:33.960
<v Speaker 8>I believe his name was Joseph Martin. Believe it's Joey

1:09:34.080 --> 1:09:38.160
<v Speaker 8>or Joseph Martin that his family just fouled a lawsuit

1:09:38.200 --> 1:09:43.800
<v Speaker 8>and they're wanting a federal investigation because their son was

1:09:43.880 --> 1:09:47.400
<v Speaker 8>killed in Marion County, in a smaller county in our state,

1:09:47.439 --> 1:09:49.679
<v Speaker 8>where the police kneeled on the back of his neck

1:09:50.040 --> 1:09:51.519
<v Speaker 8>for over a minute and a half.

1:09:52.000 --> 1:09:53.120
<v Speaker 3>And so when we talk.

1:09:52.960 --> 1:09:57.200
<v Speaker 8>About the misconduct that's happening as it relates to policing,

1:09:57.600 --> 1:10:01.839
<v Speaker 8>it's not just happening in Louisville. It is happening across

1:10:01.880 --> 1:10:05.519
<v Speaker 8>the commonwealth. Here in the Commonwealth, there's been a lot

1:10:05.560 --> 1:10:10.040
<v Speaker 8>of police involved shootings where police have killed and shot

1:10:10.720 --> 1:10:16.600
<v Speaker 8>individuals who were unarmed. And so this is something that

1:10:16.720 --> 1:10:18.920
<v Speaker 8>I believe that if we're able to get that consent

1:10:18.960 --> 1:10:22.200
<v Speaker 8>decree done here in Louisville, then it does in the

1:10:22.240 --> 1:10:25.920
<v Speaker 8>message across the state and it empowers other communities to say,

1:10:25.960 --> 1:10:28.280
<v Speaker 8>you know what, we can speak up and we can

1:10:28.439 --> 1:10:32.400
<v Speaker 8>band together to hold our law enforcement together, because as

1:10:32.439 --> 1:10:35.800
<v Speaker 8>counselwoman just said, it is very difficult when you go

1:10:36.040 --> 1:10:40.280
<v Speaker 8>out in these communities and talk to folks, their business owners,

1:10:40.600 --> 1:10:44.800
<v Speaker 8>they have law practices, they're doctors. Some of them are

1:10:44.840 --> 1:10:48.880
<v Speaker 8>afraid to speak out because depending where they are, people

1:10:48.880 --> 1:10:52.400
<v Speaker 8>will stop patronizing their businesses. But I believe that this

1:10:52.560 --> 1:10:56.120
<v Speaker 8>what this statement says is it doesn't matter if you're black, white,

1:10:56.479 --> 1:10:59.479
<v Speaker 8>from Louisville or you're from the country. We're gonna band

1:10:59.520 --> 1:11:02.200
<v Speaker 8>together and right is right and wrong is wrong. And

1:11:02.240 --> 1:11:04.559
<v Speaker 8>at the end of the day, we want to make

1:11:04.600 --> 1:11:09.160
<v Speaker 8>sure that all Kentuckians that they have justice and they

1:11:09.200 --> 1:11:13.960
<v Speaker 8>are protected and protected from law enforcement, and the law

1:11:14.000 --> 1:11:16.920
<v Speaker 8>enforcement is doing their job, and when they're not doing

1:11:16.960 --> 1:11:18.880
<v Speaker 8>their job, we are going to hold them accountable.

1:11:19.720 --> 1:11:22.400
<v Speaker 3>Amen. I want I just want to say one thing,

1:11:22.680 --> 1:11:27.040
<v Speaker 3>just on a high note. You know, we did see

1:11:27.080 --> 1:11:30.600
<v Speaker 3>a peace of justice in Breonna Taylor's case. You know

1:11:30.640 --> 1:11:30.920
<v Speaker 3>we did.

1:11:31.040 --> 1:11:33.320
<v Speaker 4>We you know we we've been fighting against it and

1:11:33.320 --> 1:11:37.240
<v Speaker 4>it just shows how elections have consequences, how fighting has consequences.

1:11:37.400 --> 1:11:40.800
<v Speaker 4>For four years straight, we did everything possible to bring

1:11:40.840 --> 1:11:45.040
<v Speaker 4>attention to fight. Lenita was the lawyer, We was outside advocating.

1:11:45.360 --> 1:11:49.160
<v Speaker 4>You know, we watched you guys get elected to office

1:11:49.200 --> 1:11:51.559
<v Speaker 4>based off just the fighting and everything that we did

1:11:51.680 --> 1:11:53.880
<v Speaker 4>during that case. So I just want you to I

1:11:54.000 --> 1:11:56.479
<v Speaker 4>need to just speak a little bit about what happened

1:11:56.520 --> 1:11:59.080
<v Speaker 4>in that case and just you know, and give us

1:11:59.120 --> 1:12:01.320
<v Speaker 4>a little bit of hope, a little bit of hope

1:12:01.320 --> 1:12:03.200
<v Speaker 4>and just say what should be the next steps that

1:12:03.240 --> 1:12:03.960
<v Speaker 4>we should be doing.

1:12:04.280 --> 1:12:04.599
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

1:12:04.640 --> 1:12:08.600
<v Speaker 7>So, of course, a few weeks ago, Bratt Hankinson was

1:12:08.640 --> 1:12:13.120
<v Speaker 7>found guilty for voilating the civil rights of Breonna Taylor.

1:12:14.439 --> 1:12:16.280
<v Speaker 6>So his sentence and is now in April.

1:12:16.320 --> 1:12:18.720
<v Speaker 7>First, it was gonna be March twelfth, which was, you know,

1:12:18.760 --> 1:12:22.160
<v Speaker 7>on the eve of the anniversary of Brianna's death. But

1:12:23.040 --> 1:12:26.000
<v Speaker 7>I think his lawyers later realized that, hold on, that

1:12:26.120 --> 1:12:28.840
<v Speaker 7>might not so it's in April now.

1:12:28.960 --> 1:12:32.800
<v Speaker 6>But that's okay, Ms Palmer. She was mad, but she's

1:12:32.840 --> 1:12:33.479
<v Speaker 6>okay now.

1:12:34.880 --> 1:12:37.560
<v Speaker 7>He did foul a motion for a new trial, you know,

1:12:37.680 --> 1:12:39.679
<v Speaker 7>as I tell Miss Palmer all the time.

1:12:39.479 --> 1:12:41.879
<v Speaker 6>Like that, he's their defense attorney.

1:12:42.000 --> 1:12:45.160
<v Speaker 7>They have to do it right. I'm not as worried

1:12:45.160 --> 1:12:47.479
<v Speaker 7>about the motion for a new trial. The one thing

1:12:47.520 --> 1:12:49.960
<v Speaker 7>I can say about Judge Jennings is I do feel

1:12:50.000 --> 1:12:52.840
<v Speaker 7>like she did everything within her power to make sure

1:12:52.880 --> 1:12:56.040
<v Speaker 7>that that trial was fair. And so I'm not as

1:12:56.080 --> 1:13:00.000
<v Speaker 7>concerned about a new trial. And she's not going anywhere anytime.

1:13:00.040 --> 1:13:06.400
<v Speaker 7>I'm soon, Judge Jennings. The other two officers, Joshua James

1:13:06.439 --> 1:13:10.160
<v Speaker 7>and cal Meanie, were still waiting on trial dates for them.

1:13:11.320 --> 1:13:14.720
<v Speaker 7>Mike songer An. I always forget Inns name.

1:13:14.800 --> 1:13:16.760
<v Speaker 6>I hate it. But the DOJ prosecutors.

1:13:17.160 --> 1:13:19.960
<v Speaker 7>The good thing about the two prosecutors that we've had

1:13:20.000 --> 1:13:23.600
<v Speaker 7>in this case is they extend beyond any presidential administration.

1:13:23.720 --> 1:13:27.320
<v Speaker 6>They didn't come on when Biden was higher.

1:13:27.439 --> 1:13:30.840
<v Speaker 7>You know, they've been around for ages, and so, you know,

1:13:31.160 --> 1:13:35.080
<v Speaker 7>barring somebody coming in and telling them to get rid

1:13:35.120 --> 1:13:37.519
<v Speaker 7>of these cases, they're going to fight tooth and nail

1:13:37.640 --> 1:13:40.720
<v Speaker 7>to get justice for BROWNA. Taylor's family. And I have

1:13:40.840 --> 1:13:45.760
<v Speaker 7>four faith and trust in those two prosecutors. You know,

1:13:45.840 --> 1:13:48.880
<v Speaker 7>you guys saw the first trial. This trial, we was

1:13:48.920 --> 1:13:51.640
<v Speaker 7>all outside trying to figure out what's going on with elections.

1:13:52.160 --> 1:13:54.120
<v Speaker 7>It was so much going on this time around it,

1:13:54.160 --> 1:13:55.960
<v Speaker 7>and like even I was like, did we really set

1:13:55.960 --> 1:13:58.840
<v Speaker 7>a trial like two weeks before election date or a

1:13:58.880 --> 1:14:03.720
<v Speaker 7>month before election day? But that first trial, you know,

1:14:03.760 --> 1:14:06.200
<v Speaker 7>you got to see them and and and interact with

1:14:06.200 --> 1:14:08.720
<v Speaker 7>with those prosecutors, and you can tell their heart art

1:14:09.000 --> 1:14:13.639
<v Speaker 7>that it is for fighting a system of corruption within

1:14:13.720 --> 1:14:15.200
<v Speaker 7>police departments and get rid of.

1:14:15.120 --> 1:14:18.479
<v Speaker 6>Those civil rights violations. And so I do have faith

1:14:18.520 --> 1:14:19.439
<v Speaker 6>in those two.

1:14:20.680 --> 1:14:24.280
<v Speaker 2>We were fighting and we were in an election during

1:14:24.320 --> 1:14:27.200
<v Speaker 2>the first trial as well. Because that's when we spent

1:14:27.479 --> 1:14:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Daniel Cameron's asked and sentence.

1:14:32.640 --> 1:14:37.040
<v Speaker 5>Exact Cameron Judge just always.

1:14:36.720 --> 1:14:39.960
<v Speaker 1>It's never there is no fight that we're.

1:14:39.800 --> 1:14:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Involved in that's easy or simple, or the cake will

1:14:44.760 --> 1:14:48.360
<v Speaker 2>always an added layer. I forgot about that it was

1:14:48.479 --> 1:14:51.880
<v Speaker 2>doing it was there an election. So but I want

1:14:51.880 --> 1:14:53.680
<v Speaker 2>to say thank you to all of you, and and

1:14:53.800 --> 1:14:56.439
<v Speaker 2>my son has said that we have wins.

1:14:56.800 --> 1:14:59.120
<v Speaker 6>I got one thing though, before you go.

1:14:59.600 --> 1:15:03.400
<v Speaker 7>So next Tuesday, the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division,

1:15:03.520 --> 1:15:05.840
<v Speaker 7>we talked about Tamika Palmer, Brianna's mom.

1:15:06.240 --> 1:15:08.680
<v Speaker 6>She is going to be in Washington, d C. With

1:15:08.880 --> 1:15:09.719
<v Speaker 6>Kristin Clark.

1:15:10.280 --> 1:15:15.360
<v Speaker 7>This year marks thirty years of Patterns in Practice the

1:15:15.439 --> 1:15:19.160
<v Speaker 7>Civil Rights Department Division, Department of Justice being able to

1:15:19.240 --> 1:15:23.599
<v Speaker 7>pursue civil rights remedies for patterns in practice as valation.

1:15:23.760 --> 1:15:26.519
<v Speaker 6>So they have a panel coming up next Tuesday.

1:15:26.640 --> 1:15:29.360
<v Speaker 7>Ms Palmer is going to be there as a representative

1:15:29.360 --> 1:15:33.040
<v Speaker 7>of a family who's been impacted. As you heard, representative

1:15:33.160 --> 1:15:34.960
<v Speaker 7>or Senator elected. I don't know which one.

1:15:34.960 --> 1:15:35.200
<v Speaker 5>I like.

1:15:35.280 --> 1:15:37.559
<v Speaker 6>We're going to representative senator elect give a.

1:15:39.200 --> 1:15:39.479
<v Speaker 5>Hearing.

1:15:39.680 --> 1:15:42.040
<v Speaker 7>You heard her talk about one of the valations that

1:15:42.080 --> 1:15:45.920
<v Speaker 7>they found was getting improper search warrant so that the

1:15:45.960 --> 1:15:50.320
<v Speaker 7>patterns in practice definitely led to Brianna's murder.

1:15:50.920 --> 1:15:52.479
<v Speaker 6>And so she's going to be up there with.

1:15:52.840 --> 1:15:56.320
<v Speaker 7>Kristin Clark and some other Derek Johnson's one of the panelists.

1:15:56.680 --> 1:16:00.560
<v Speaker 7>So that's going on next Tuesday, December third. And the

1:16:00.840 --> 1:16:02.640
<v Speaker 7>phone calls still work because when we was doing a

1:16:02.680 --> 1:16:04.720
<v Speaker 7>number no Knock, some of my friends that were all

1:16:04.760 --> 1:16:06.879
<v Speaker 7>Metro Council call and it was like, I'm not already

1:16:06.960 --> 1:16:08.920
<v Speaker 7>voted for it. Can you please tell them to stop

1:16:08.960 --> 1:16:10.919
<v Speaker 7>calling me. I'm like, now they're calling everybody.

1:16:10.960 --> 1:16:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I can't you know, So anything about that, that's all right.

1:16:15.080 --> 1:16:19.160
<v Speaker 2>You get a call too, because the elected officials, from

1:16:19.200 --> 1:16:22.240
<v Speaker 2>the morning to the night, things can shift. So we

1:16:22.800 --> 1:16:27.080
<v Speaker 2>just get fresh on because when those donors start calling things,

1:16:27.120 --> 1:16:30.120
<v Speaker 2>people start getting a little shaky, which is why I

1:16:30.200 --> 1:16:34.280
<v Speaker 2>appreciate that the two elected officials that we have here

1:16:34.720 --> 1:16:35.679
<v Speaker 2>are two that.

1:16:35.640 --> 1:16:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Have taken the hard way.

1:16:37.080 --> 1:16:40.479
<v Speaker 2>It's the steps up the backside of the building, and

1:16:40.960 --> 1:16:43.599
<v Speaker 2>you know you might have to take the fire escape also,

1:16:44.000 --> 1:16:47.360
<v Speaker 2>which means that you're not taking the money from all

1:16:47.439 --> 1:16:52.519
<v Speaker 2>the big corporations and the special interest groups. You know,

1:16:52.360 --> 1:16:57.280
<v Speaker 2>you out here bootstraps like real knee and dollars and

1:16:57.360 --> 1:17:01.840
<v Speaker 2>cents from every single person who believes in justice, who

1:17:01.840 --> 1:17:05.519
<v Speaker 2>believes in a fair process in terms of you know,

1:17:05.600 --> 1:17:08.960
<v Speaker 2>our government and elections and all of that, and you know,

1:17:09.040 --> 1:17:11.360
<v Speaker 2>and I just think, you know, it's the same for us.

1:17:11.360 --> 1:17:15.200
<v Speaker 2>And until freedom, we could be taking money from corporations.

1:17:15.280 --> 1:17:17.439
<v Speaker 2>And you know, we got we have friends, they got

1:17:17.439 --> 1:17:19.559
<v Speaker 2>a lot of money. They would love to give us money,

1:17:19.600 --> 1:17:23.320
<v Speaker 2>but they got that's gonna come with conditions. It's gonna

1:17:23.360 --> 1:17:27.920
<v Speaker 2>come with people expecting certain things. So we are out here.

1:17:28.120 --> 1:17:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes the bank account has the money for payroll, and

1:17:30.920 --> 1:17:34.080
<v Speaker 2>sometimes it's real low, and we're trying to figure it out.

1:17:34.080 --> 1:17:36.720
<v Speaker 2>But at the end of the day, we maintain our integrity,

1:17:36.760 --> 1:17:39.320
<v Speaker 2>and certainly the two of you have done that. And

1:17:39.400 --> 1:17:42.320
<v Speaker 2>of course Lanita won't even take certain people's cases, So

1:17:42.400 --> 1:17:44.479
<v Speaker 2>that's an I'm gonna I'm gonna talk to her because

1:17:44.840 --> 1:17:47.040
<v Speaker 2>Lania needs to be the one to go get rich,

1:17:47.240 --> 1:17:50.760
<v Speaker 2>don't worry about not taking certain people's money so the

1:17:50.840 --> 1:17:52.599
<v Speaker 2>rest of us can have something.

1:17:55.320 --> 1:17:56.559
<v Speaker 1>We love y'all so much.

1:17:56.640 --> 1:18:01.479
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna be in Kentucky soon, and this particular effort,

1:18:01.560 --> 1:18:05.160
<v Speaker 2>it feels like we have days to push as hard

1:18:05.200 --> 1:18:08.760
<v Speaker 2>as possible. So let's talk offline and figure out what

1:18:08.800 --> 1:18:11.720
<v Speaker 2>that looks like and continue to to and and to

1:18:11.760 --> 1:18:12.960
<v Speaker 2>activate our base.

1:18:13.080 --> 1:18:15.280
<v Speaker 1>We have a base. We built a base.

1:18:15.439 --> 1:18:19.160
<v Speaker 2>In Kentucky across the state of people who just need

1:18:19.200 --> 1:18:20.920
<v Speaker 2>to know what to do, and we need to give

1:18:20.960 --> 1:18:25.800
<v Speaker 2>them that and get them to work.

1:18:27.280 --> 1:18:28.240
<v Speaker 1>Y'all, Love you, y'all.

1:18:31.080 --> 1:18:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Congratulations, Congratulations again.

1:18:38.520 --> 1:18:39.120
<v Speaker 4>By y'all.

1:18:43.280 --> 1:18:46.840
<v Speaker 2>Listen, it's a it's a fight, it's a struggle. It's

1:18:46.880 --> 1:18:47.840
<v Speaker 2>it's we like this.

1:18:49.400 --> 1:18:51.439
<v Speaker 3>We're always in the trenches, man, that's what we do.

1:18:51.520 --> 1:18:51.680
<v Speaker 5>Man.

1:18:51.760 --> 1:19:02.680
<v Speaker 4>So shout out to Katura, I mean, representatives Paris, right,

1:19:02.800 --> 1:19:11.080
<v Speaker 4>councilwoman in shout out to Esquire. So all the work

1:19:11.120 --> 1:19:13.200
<v Speaker 4>we've done, man, Like you said, we built a real

1:19:13.240 --> 1:19:16.800
<v Speaker 4>family in Kentucky. Now, I wanted to make sure that

1:19:16.800 --> 1:19:20.120
<v Speaker 4>we talked about that little piece of justice that we got.

1:19:20.160 --> 1:19:20.360
<v Speaker 8>Man.

1:19:20.479 --> 1:19:22.880
<v Speaker 4>For all those years, you know, there was tears, there

1:19:22.960 --> 1:19:25.840
<v Speaker 4>was there was tear gas.

1:19:26.400 --> 1:19:28.839
<v Speaker 3>You know, there was a lot of things that was lost.

1:19:29.080 --> 1:19:32.679
<v Speaker 4>There was we lost other people during that that lost

1:19:32.720 --> 1:19:35.360
<v Speaker 4>their life, you know, during those times. So I just

1:19:35.400 --> 1:19:38.400
<v Speaker 4>want to say that when we fight, we win, man.

1:19:38.400 --> 1:19:40.599
<v Speaker 4>We don't you know, we don't always win. But when

1:19:40.640 --> 1:19:46.040
<v Speaker 4>we fight, you know, we actually any because because we fought,

1:19:46.280 --> 1:19:50.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, so I just want us to understand. People say, oh,

1:19:50.240 --> 1:19:51.160
<v Speaker 4>what you marched for?

1:19:51.800 --> 1:19:52.720
<v Speaker 3>What you doing that for?

1:19:53.080 --> 1:19:55.320
<v Speaker 4>We marched so that we could see some justice for

1:19:55.439 --> 1:19:57.880
<v Speaker 4>Breonna Taylor and the actually have we marched so we

1:19:57.920 --> 1:19:59.040
<v Speaker 4>can make sure that.

1:19:59.000 --> 1:20:00.960
<v Speaker 3>Daniel Cameron then become the governor.

1:20:01.040 --> 1:20:03.240
<v Speaker 4>These are things that we launched for, and we understand

1:20:03.479 --> 1:20:06.200
<v Speaker 4>when we make our voices loud and we show our

1:20:06.320 --> 1:20:11.000
<v Speaker 4>unity and we are intentional about things, those things actually happen.

1:20:11.120 --> 1:20:15.160
<v Speaker 2>So absolutely, absolutely, what don't you get today, sir?

1:20:15.240 --> 1:20:16.320
<v Speaker 3>What don't not get today?

1:20:16.320 --> 1:20:19.920
<v Speaker 4>And it's it's it's pretty much simple because it goes

1:20:19.960 --> 1:20:23.280
<v Speaker 4>along with this. You know, we're talking about descent decrees

1:20:23.320 --> 1:20:27.080
<v Speaker 4>and Patterson practices, and we're talking about all these laws

1:20:27.479 --> 1:20:30.600
<v Speaker 4>that can be activated and things that need to be activated,

1:20:30.960 --> 1:20:31.400
<v Speaker 4>and then we.

1:20:31.360 --> 1:20:32.320
<v Speaker 3>Talk about an election.

1:20:33.000 --> 1:20:36.200
<v Speaker 4>And what I don't get right is we we've been

1:20:36.320 --> 1:20:41.680
<v Speaker 4>very intentional about letting people understand that for us, it

1:20:41.760 --> 1:20:44.680
<v Speaker 4>wasn't November seventh or no, it was November eighth, it

1:20:44.720 --> 1:20:46.640
<v Speaker 4>was the day after.

1:20:46.840 --> 1:20:47.800
<v Speaker 1>No, it's November.

1:20:47.840 --> 1:20:52.240
<v Speaker 2>The election was it was November six of it was

1:20:52.280 --> 1:20:54.200
<v Speaker 2>November fifth, y'all people all wrong.

1:20:54.280 --> 1:20:54.479
<v Speaker 5>You A.

1:20:55.680 --> 1:20:57.519
<v Speaker 4>I was just I don't even remember it, but I

1:20:57.560 --> 1:21:01.640
<v Speaker 4>just know we made We were very vocal about saying that.

1:21:01.760 --> 1:21:04.360
<v Speaker 4>For us, it was the day after election that we

1:21:04.479 --> 1:21:07.360
<v Speaker 4>really needed to start organizing. And what I don't get

1:21:07.479 --> 1:21:10.960
<v Speaker 4>is how there is this narrative and there's this loud

1:21:11.040 --> 1:21:14.240
<v Speaker 4>people screaming, well, the the election is open now, won't

1:21:14.280 --> 1:21:16.639
<v Speaker 4>y'all just get over it? You know Trump is the president,

1:21:16.680 --> 1:21:17.000
<v Speaker 4>that's it.

1:21:17.120 --> 1:21:17.600
<v Speaker 3>Just move on.

1:21:18.280 --> 1:21:19.160
<v Speaker 1>What does that mean?

1:21:19.320 --> 1:21:20.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't get what that means.

1:21:20.800 --> 1:21:24.040
<v Speaker 4>I don't get why people don't understand that there's the process.

1:21:24.080 --> 1:21:26.920
<v Speaker 4>You elect the president. Now, you hold the president accountable.

1:21:27.160 --> 1:21:29.280
<v Speaker 4>Now you are very critical. Now you make sure the

1:21:29.360 --> 1:21:32.200
<v Speaker 4>things that needed to get that you want to happen

1:21:32.240 --> 1:21:35.360
<v Speaker 4>in your community happen. It's not okay, we wanted a

1:21:35.400 --> 1:21:39.559
<v Speaker 4>different candidate. Our candidate loss, so we don't work anymore. Like,

1:21:39.600 --> 1:21:43.479
<v Speaker 4>I don't even understand why people think that's how it goes.

1:21:43.560 --> 1:21:46.000
<v Speaker 3>Every time I have a conversation or you post something about.

1:21:45.840 --> 1:21:48.479
<v Speaker 4>Okay, these are the people that you know the president

1:21:48.520 --> 1:21:50.120
<v Speaker 4>elect is putting in his cabinet, and they.

1:21:50.280 --> 1:21:51.679
<v Speaker 3>Oh, y'all just saw losing.

1:21:51.800 --> 1:21:54.680
<v Speaker 4>No, we want you to understand the process We want

1:21:54.760 --> 1:21:57.559
<v Speaker 4>you to understand who the hold accountable for certain things

1:21:57.560 --> 1:22:00.720
<v Speaker 4>inside our communities, things that's going on inside, laws that

1:22:00.720 --> 1:22:04.240
<v Speaker 4>we need to be passed, laws that haven't been passed.

1:22:04.320 --> 1:22:06.880
<v Speaker 4>We want everybody to be aware. We're not supposed to

1:22:06.920 --> 1:22:08.880
<v Speaker 4>just go to sleep. The election is over and we

1:22:09.000 --> 1:22:12.400
<v Speaker 4>just go to bed, because no, it doesn't work like that.

1:22:12.800 --> 1:22:15.719
<v Speaker 4>So I really don't get why people think that now

1:22:16.160 --> 1:22:19.760
<v Speaker 4>because Trump is a has been elected president and he

1:22:19.880 --> 1:22:22.280
<v Speaker 4>wasn't the person that we wanted to be elected president,

1:22:22.400 --> 1:22:25.160
<v Speaker 4>that we're supposed to just sail off into the sunset

1:22:25.200 --> 1:22:28.080
<v Speaker 4>and be quiet for four years. I just don't understand that.

1:22:29.880 --> 1:22:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't have anything to add to that.

1:22:32.520 --> 1:22:33.320
<v Speaker 1>It is what it is.

1:22:33.640 --> 1:22:39.880
<v Speaker 2>I've never not been fighting against elected officials, I mean literally,

1:22:40.200 --> 1:22:41.759
<v Speaker 2>even when they're my friends.

1:22:42.040 --> 1:22:43.599
<v Speaker 3>This is what I told him, I said, I'm not

1:22:44.240 --> 1:22:44.960
<v Speaker 3>for an opponent.

1:22:45.439 --> 1:22:51.040
<v Speaker 2>I you know, I supported Mayor Deblasio's him becoming mayor

1:22:51.120 --> 1:22:51.840
<v Speaker 2>in New York City.

1:22:51.880 --> 1:22:53.479
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I don't think, I don't think

1:22:53.520 --> 1:22:54.559
<v Speaker 1>I endorsed him.

1:22:54.800 --> 1:22:57.000
<v Speaker 2>I can't remember at this point, but I do know

1:22:58.080 --> 1:23:03.639
<v Speaker 2>that while Mayor Deblasio was mayor, especially in the beginning,

1:23:04.200 --> 1:23:09.000
<v Speaker 2>I was a supporter of his because I knew what

1:23:09.120 --> 1:23:11.559
<v Speaker 2>he had committed to. He was out there, he was

1:23:11.640 --> 1:23:15.400
<v Speaker 2>protesting with us against stopping frisk. He was extremely vocal

1:23:15.520 --> 1:23:20.400
<v Speaker 2>about reform dealing with policing in New York City. He

1:23:20.479 --> 1:23:27.280
<v Speaker 2>also was very supportive of the community violence intervention community.

1:23:27.800 --> 1:23:31.960
<v Speaker 2>He was one to give a number of dollars, millions

1:23:31.960 --> 1:23:37.360
<v Speaker 2>of dollars in his budget to community violence intervention advocates

1:23:37.400 --> 1:23:41.840
<v Speaker 2>and grassroots workers and leaders across the city. And so

1:23:41.960 --> 1:23:45.799
<v Speaker 2>I supported that as soon as he started to waiver

1:23:46.000 --> 1:23:49.519
<v Speaker 2>because the police turned their backs on him, and he

1:23:49.600 --> 1:23:53.040
<v Speaker 2>had a number of challenges in terms of dealing with

1:23:53.320 --> 1:23:57.400
<v Speaker 2>specifically with police abuse, and then there were other issues.

1:23:57.439 --> 1:24:01.840
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not trying to relitigate the Deblasio.

1:24:01.760 --> 1:24:05.719
<v Speaker 1>Time, but you know, we do know that while he.

1:24:05.800 --> 1:24:11.799
<v Speaker 2>Was mayor, Daniel Pantaleo, which is the officer who killed

1:24:12.680 --> 1:24:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Eric Garner, he the mayor's response to that and the

1:24:16.840 --> 1:24:19.920
<v Speaker 2>way he handled the situation, and the fact that his

1:24:20.080 --> 1:24:25.800
<v Speaker 2>own police department refused to move forward with very significant

1:24:25.840 --> 1:24:31.439
<v Speaker 2>and serious accountability measures for Daniel Pantaleo, we said, well,

1:24:31.600 --> 1:24:35.240
<v Speaker 2>the nice uh what do you call it?

1:24:35.280 --> 1:24:35.759
<v Speaker 6>The nice?

1:24:37.200 --> 1:24:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh damn, what is it called? The honeymoon period is on,

1:24:43.000 --> 1:24:45.840
<v Speaker 2>and we went to fighting him and will continue to

1:24:45.920 --> 1:24:49.080
<v Speaker 2>do so with anybody. Eric Adams, it doesn't matter who

1:24:49.160 --> 1:24:55.000
<v Speaker 2>it is. Joe Biden has also been a recipient of

1:24:55.080 --> 1:24:58.479
<v Speaker 2>US protesting being out there. I intended to continue to

1:24:58.520 --> 1:25:01.600
<v Speaker 2>do that with Vice Presid Harris, and we're gonna do

1:25:01.640 --> 1:25:05.600
<v Speaker 2>it under Donald Trump. The stakes are higher, the ability

1:25:05.840 --> 1:25:12.040
<v Speaker 2>for a Trump to target our community and target us specifically.

1:25:12.400 --> 1:25:15.800
<v Speaker 2>We already know that that is in fact a if

1:25:15.840 --> 1:25:19.519
<v Speaker 2>no one wants to go box when you are X

1:25:19.560 --> 1:25:22.559
<v Speaker 2>amount of height and X amount of weight and you're

1:25:22.600 --> 1:25:26.040
<v Speaker 2>gonna go take on the heavyweight champion of the world,

1:25:26.520 --> 1:25:29.800
<v Speaker 2>knowing that that is not somebody who you actually have

1:25:29.920 --> 1:25:33.080
<v Speaker 2>the ability to fight and win, that's stupid.

1:25:33.439 --> 1:25:35.640
<v Speaker 1>If you do that, something is wrong with you.

1:25:36.080 --> 1:25:38.519
<v Speaker 2>It And I'm not saying that you shouldn't take on

1:25:38.680 --> 1:25:43.240
<v Speaker 2>big opponents, but for me, every single time we fight,

1:25:43.560 --> 1:25:47.720
<v Speaker 2>if you're fighting against government officials and people in positions.

1:25:47.200 --> 1:25:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Of power, it's a huge fight.

1:25:49.400 --> 1:25:52.799
<v Speaker 2>It is it is significant, but you can still choose

1:25:52.920 --> 1:25:57.519
<v Speaker 2>within something that is more likely for you to be

1:25:57.600 --> 1:26:00.479
<v Speaker 2>able to win. And so that's what we all. It's said,

1:26:00.520 --> 1:26:04.200
<v Speaker 2>but we know we would have to fight anybody who is.

1:26:04.200 --> 1:26:10.920
<v Speaker 1>In uh, you know, in in Washington. And it's not

1:26:11.000 --> 1:26:12.519
<v Speaker 1>just Washington. It's Washington.

1:26:12.600 --> 1:26:16.120
<v Speaker 2>We're now here, it's in Kentucky, it's in Albany, New York.

1:26:16.439 --> 1:26:19.000
<v Speaker 1>It's in every single place.

1:26:18.920 --> 1:26:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Across this country where we as a people feel oppressed

1:26:23.960 --> 1:26:26.800
<v Speaker 2>and feel that we are lacking the types of resources

1:26:26.800 --> 1:26:29.040
<v Speaker 2>that we need in order to have successful communities.

1:26:29.320 --> 1:26:30.360
<v Speaker 1>So it is what it is.

1:26:32.240 --> 1:26:32.439
<v Speaker 3>Fight.

1:26:33.240 --> 1:26:35.479
<v Speaker 4>We're gonna fight, and we ain't gonna never stop fighting.

1:26:35.760 --> 1:26:38.519
<v Speaker 4>We're gonna keep on fighting and we're gonna fight, fight,

1:26:38.600 --> 1:26:41.559
<v Speaker 4>fight until then, Please, good night.
