8
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: expect a little more reaction from my co host when

9
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: I drop a clever punk.

10
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 3: Okay, I had a muzzle on any.

11
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 5: We've played a clip where Andrew was that guy? Why

12
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 5: didn't we bring that?

13
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 6: You know?

14
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: Anyway, it's our ninety ninth episode.

15
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 4: Ninety nine problems and Hamilton, Amen to that, Amen to that.

Speaker 1: On Monday, so do please tune into that. But it's

28
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: a lot going on right now. So what are we

29
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:19,559
Speaker 1: talking about today?

30
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 5: Angela? What you got?

31
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 7: I got a lot of stuff, But I think what

32
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 7: we are going to lean into a little bit is

33
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 7: why Megan Kelly is on Serena's head. That's one question

34
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 7: I have. That's one question I have. I'm gonna let

35
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 7: y'all get into the other ones because I don't know

36
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 7: which ones y'all.

37
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 5: Want to start. Well, you'll come back.

38
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: Megan Kellys there she got after our girl Jamel, and

39
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: Jamel dragged her clear and cross America the last time,

40
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: so she hasn't learned her lesson yet to keep black

41
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: women's name out.

42
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 5: Andrew, what you got?

43
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 7: What's easy to do when you're tweeting in the basement

44
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 7: in your drawers, fair point, and you.

45
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 3: Not catch outside topic?

46
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:02,279
Speaker 5: We r Andrew.

47
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 4: I want to talk about the new threat facing not

48
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 4: just democracy, but the new threat that could be coming.

49
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 3: Really straight up our block.

50
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 4: What Trump and his new executive memo suggest about where

51
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 4: this democracy is going.

52
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, and you mentioned that earlier on the call, Andrew,

53
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 1: and I'm really looking forward to your breakdown on that

54
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: because I have some questions for you and definitely some thoughts.

55
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: And when we're talking about where democracy is going, I

56
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: think right now we are at a complete standstill literally

57
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: and figuratively. And that is, of course because the government

58
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: shut down this week, and that is going to have

59
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: a devastating impact for a lot of people. So I

60
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: definitely want to talk about that, and I do, if

61
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: there's time, want to get into this bad Bunny super

62
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: Bowl performance which has taken the group chats, the newscasts,

63
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: and the internets by storm. So I'm curious your thoughts.

64
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 1: I don't know if we all agree about what this means,

65
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: but I definitely want to get into that discussion.

66
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: With you guys.

67
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 3: So and of course questions.

68
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: And yes, thank you Andrew, we will get into your

69
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: viewer questions and thank you guys so much for sending

70
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: those in. And remember, if at any point in the

71
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: show you hear something that you like that resonates with you,

72
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: drop it in your group chat, send us in a

73
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: question the comment if you agree, disagree, but spread the

74
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: news about Native Land Pod because this is our table

75
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: as well as it's yours. So welcome home, y'all. Let's

76
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: get into the show. Okay, before we get into the

77
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: government shutdown. Can I just say really quickly, I want

78
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: to pass the mic to Angela on this one actually,

79
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: but I just want to say before I pass the

80
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: mic about our show that we did live from the

81
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: Congressional Black Caucus Foundations Annual Legislative Conference, I have to

82
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: say thank you all so much for tuning in. I

83
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: know there were some audio problems, and so we have

84
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: reposted the show without those audio problems, so please definitely

85
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: check that out. But a lot of you all just

86
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: suffer through and listen to the show with the audio problems,

87
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: so we did repost it for you. If you haven't

88
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: checked that out, definitely please do. Great guests, we sat

89
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: down with Governor Wes Moore and his wife. But this

90
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: is what and I didn't say this on a call

91
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: this morning intentionally because I wanted to say it on

92
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: the show. You know, I our friendship stretches decades at

93
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: this point. You know, I've known you guys for a while,

94
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: and I feel like you can take friendship for granted

95
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: when you know people for a while, Like I can

96
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: call angel it too in the morning if I want to,

97
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: you know, Andrew, I can be like I'm coming to

98
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: Tallahas he let's kick it. And when Angela you gave

99
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,559
Speaker 1: your acceptance speech, I was so moved. And your father

100
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: was seated next to me. And I don't know if

101
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: the viewers will get to hear this, Please please please

102
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: watch it on the CBCF Annual Legislative Conference show. But

103
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: when you closed out the speech, your father was saying

104
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: the words with you, because of course you you know,

105
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: close it out, the black power anthem. And he didn't

106
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: even say it like like he wanted to erupt an applause,

107
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: like he said it like casually and was just looking

108
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: at Angela. I was like bursting inside, like I was.

109
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: We were all trying not to choke up. It was

110
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: the end of the show. I wanted to stand up

111
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: and applaud, but Papa Rye was just sitting there like, yeah,

112
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: like what else she supposed? That's why I raised, Yeah,

113
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: that's what it is, right. It was such a beautiful moment.

114
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: I sent that speech to everybody. I've been telling everybody

115
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: to watch it. I was on Doctor Carr Show this

116
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: week on Serious XM. I talked about it on that show,

117
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: so I just wanted to say, like it was one

118
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: of those moments where I was like, I take for

119
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: granted that I get to be friends with people I'm

120
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: fans of. I get to be friends with people who

121
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: I admire, and I'm not gonna lie. I was a

122
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: little mad when she was reading that speech. It's like

123
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: I feel when I asked Michael Harry, like he's like

124
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: up writing all day and then he comes and sends

125
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: me what he wrote, and I'm like, you wrote that today,

126
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: just in one tribe, that's what you did. Well, she was,

127
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, please tell me it took you six months

128
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: to write that, because it was it would take me

129
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: six months to write that. So I just am thrilled,

130
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: and I had to say that. I didn't want to

131
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: say it on the call. I wanted to say it

132
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: to you in front of our audience. So super dope,

133
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: super dope.

134
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 3: Soon soon, I think I said to you that night

135
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 3: like twice or three times, like I was really pierced. Yeah,

136
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 3: I felt that. I felt that.

137
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 4: And when you're used to and you are used to

138
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,239
Speaker 4: giving and certainly being on the receiving end of speeches,

139
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 4: you can become numbs sometimes to the words that come

140
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 4: out of people's mouths. But for you, Angela It's different

141
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 4: because we know you. You don't traffic it insignificance.

142
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 3: If you stay in a bar. It's a thing, and

143
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 3: it had resonance. It really did that night.

144
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 8: You and.

145
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 4: A few others have particularly impact, but your standouts to me,

146
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 4: and there's no more deserving person of that distinguished honor

147
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 4: from Saturday.

148
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 3: My only regret is that that whole room didn't get

149
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 3: to hear what we got to hear. But they can

150
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 3: hear it now if they go to Natives.

151
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 5: They subscribe just if I can for a moment.

152
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 7: And I know we're probably gonna get into the government shutdown,

153
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 7: given the fact that now the government is in fact

154
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 7: shut down, but I just wanted to shout this out

155
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 7: to you guys. I ended up having an all star

156
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 7: studied cast yesterday for our first on Tuesday for the.

157
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 5: Solo Pod.

158
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 7: Congressman Maxine Waters, where I worked for my first political

159
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 7: job was with her, was on talking about the shutdown.

160
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 7: Jasmine Crockett joined us as well to talk about the shutdown,

161
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 7: but also talking about the fear she experiences right now

162
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 7: and in real vulnerability in ways that really just touched

163
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 7: me because I feel like our sister always has to

164
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 7: show up in strength. So I'm so grateful that we

165
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 7: were able to cultivate a safe space for her to

166
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 7: really share how she feels in this moment. But also

167
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 7: there was another woman who we love dearly on this

168
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 7: show who joined us on the live show Saturday but

169
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 7: had to leave. Otherwise we certainly would have given her

170
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 7: the opportunity to also share the remarks she prepared. And

171
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 7: that's jo Taka Edie, who received the alc CO Chairs

172
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 7: Phoenix Award.

173
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 5: She shared a beautiful speech.

174
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 7: I know that it will drop on socials Wednesday if

175
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 7: you are listening to this later, it will drop Wednesday.

176
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 7: But I want to show her out too, because her

177
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 7: speech is remarkable. So I want to thank y'all because

178
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 7: none of the work that I'm doing would be possible

179
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 7: without your grace, without understanding, without leaning in with us.

180
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 5: And so y'all are my Phoenix Award winners every day.

181
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 5: So thank you so much. But let me tell you

182
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 5: who is not the Phoenix Awards winner.

183
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 7: Y'all's president, because why the government shut down and why

184
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 7: they trying to blame it on Democrats, on hood websites

185
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 7: everywhere else, tip get into it.

186
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: What we do. Let's get going on Well, you brought

187
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: up that you got to talk to Congressman Jazmin Crockett

188
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: this week on your solo pods, so I definitely, if

189
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: you don't mind, I want to hear a piece of

190
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: what she said. If people want to hear that whole conversation,

191
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: of course, they can check it out on our YouTube page.

192
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: I have not listened to the whole thing yet, so

193
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: I would love to hear what Congresswoman Crockett had to say.

194
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: But I just want to set the frame a little

195
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: bit and forgive me if this is redundant, because I'm

196
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: sure you guys got into it a bit this week.

197
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,599
Speaker 1: But I wanted to make the point that this is

198
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 1: not a normal shutdown, and I want to draw the

199
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: distinction of what would have happened had Democrats access the

200
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: Congressional resolution. It would have essentially given a green light

201
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: to Donald Trump to continue his cuts to PBS. It

202
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: would cut to cuts to foreign aid programs. It would

203
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: be a green light to his big beautiful Bill that

204
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: they call it, which essentially gives the richest Americans tax cuts,

205
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: which would don't for a minute doubt it. It would

206
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: be financed by cuts to Medicaid Medicare. I have members

207
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: of my family on both food stamps. I have members

208
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 1: in my immediate family on food stamps, clean energy resolutions.

209
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: This bill would also make it harder for Americans to

210
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: afford healthcare. And so the Democrats were calling, and you

211
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: guys know, I am not a spokesperson for the Democratic Party.

212
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: I happen to be a voter who votes Democrat. But

213
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: this is not in any way and owe to the party.

214
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: I'm just giving information. It's it's difficult to excuse a

215
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: shut down ever, because I get the frustration and it's

216
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: going to hit peop. But I think it was important

217
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: that Democrats held the line here. They don't control the

218
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: House or the Senate. And so when you hear the

219
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: GOP talking points that this is the Schumer shut down

220
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: or this is the Democrats shut down, impossible. When they

221
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: first passed the bill, the Big Beautiful Bill first passed

222
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: the Senate last July, it only required fifty one Republican votes.

223
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: Now they need it more so, Democrats all of a

224
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 1: sudden became really important to pass this legislation. Now what

225
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: it means now that the government has shut down, In

226
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: my opinion, it's essentially been shut down for almost nine

227
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: months now, the government hasn't been functional. They've consolidated power

228
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: to the executive branch, so we really haven't seen a

229
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: functional government. But now the shit is hit the van.

230
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: So the shutdown is expected to put at least forty

231
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: percent of the federal workforce, about seven hundred and fifty

232
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: thousand people on unpaid leave. But don't get it twisted,

233
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: they would not be the only people impacted. The GOP

234
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: claims to be the party that supports the Military Will

235
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: Act of Duty. Military service members will not receive a

236
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: paycheck during the government shutdown. The White House has also

237
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: threatened mass layoffs. This is a reduction in workforce and

238
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: federal toises after they've already laid off so many people

239
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: given furlough notices in the case of a shutdown. Well,

240
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: some people argue this is illegal, and this has been

241
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: basically a threat from the Office of Management Budget Director

242
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: Russ Vaught, who is a problem. His whole career was

243
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: based on combating CRT critical race theory, so that should

244
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: let you know what he is. Food assistance programs will

245
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: also be impacted, snap the supplemental nutritional program. Again, I

246
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: have members in my family who are on this with

247
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: the program for Women, infants, and Children. Both of these

248
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: programs are expected to rapidly run out of funds. Social Security,

249
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: social Security, to VA and other benefits will continue, However,

250
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: there will still be some delays in services such as

251
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 1: processing applications, air traffic control, and TSA. They're considered essential,

252
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: so they will continue to go to work, but they

253
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: will not be paid. And I don't know if you

254
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: guys remember when this happened in twenty eighteen twenty nineteen,

255
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: Increasingly air traffic controllers began to call in sick, which

256
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: had a ripple effects on travel across the country. FEMA

257
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: will keep functioning, but funds are also running low. So

258
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: when you consider what this means at the state level,

259
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: I'll take Louisiana for example, huge black population there. They

260
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 1: have a program, the National Flood Insurance Program. It was

261
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: managed by FEMA. It's been temporarily extended by Congress more

262
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 1: than thirty times since twenty seventeen. It was created to

263
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: provide insurance for those who don't have a private option. Well,

264
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: it's funding expired at twelve one am midnight on Wednesday

265
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: of this week. So these are going to be real problems.

266
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: Let me tell you who will still continue to get paid.

267
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: Members of Congress and the President himself will continue to

268
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: collect paychecks. More than two hundred thousand members of law

269
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: enforcement will continue to work. That's according to Homeland Security

270
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: Director and the puppy killer Christy nome Ice, will continue

271
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: their work as usual. Unfortunately, so we're looking at really

272
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: dangerous times, you guys. And I, for myself, just to

273
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: be transparent, I'm worried about my own funding because for

274
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: the people in my family who receive these benefits, if

275
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: they go away, then that means I will have to

276
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: supplement what they spend and so on. Snap benefits. You

277
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: already can't buy things like cleaning products, paper products, hot food,

278
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: things like that. But that's okay because I can supplement

279
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: those things from my family when it's needed. But when

280
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: their entire benefits go away, then I will have to

281
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: supplement their entire needs, from deodorant toothsbors. Think about everything

282
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: you use on a daily basis to the foods you

283
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: eat three meals a day. And I'm not going to

284
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: make my family, you know, eat less or suffer through this.

285
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: It will cost me more money. And I imagine that

286
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 1: a lot of people. Who are we talked about this

287
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: last week, Andrew, who are the people who made it?

288
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: So to speak, this will cast a dark shadow across

289
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: a lot of people's finances. And I just don't know

290
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: where we go from here. So I just wanted to

291
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 1: put that in context for our viewers and open it

292
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: up to you guys to see that's real. Yeah, like WTA.

293
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 4: To build off your example with the catastrophe fund, the

294
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 4: supplemental sort of, I would like to call it the

295
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 4: insurer of last resort, meaning if no other insurance is

296
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 4: available to you, the government's the insurer of last resort

297
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 4: for Louisiana. You think about hurrican Hurricane season is not over.

298
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 4: I'm in Florida, so I stay pretty apparent and aware

299
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 4: of it and say a storm word to come through

300
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 4: during this period of time. Any losses, any losses to

301
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 4: real estate, anything that was previously insured is now uninsured.

302
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 4: The real cost for any of that passes directly to

303
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 4: the individual owner themselves. Right, So you lose a house,

304
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 4: you out of house. If you want one back, you

305
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 4: got to pay for it full sale yourself. On the

306
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 4: health insurance piece of this, we've already seen across the

307
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 4: country people's premiums healthcare premiums, a piece that you have

308
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 4: to pay before insurance kicks in, has gone up forty

309
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 4: percent in some case, in some cases even more drastically.

310
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 4: That's where the Democrats have laid down the steak in

311
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 4: the sand. They've said, basically, please, please, please reauthorize the

312
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 4: incentives that existed during.

313
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 3: Well, frankly up to this point.

314
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 4: And so Obamacare's adoption, the American Affordable Healthcare Acts adoption,

315
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 4: all those went away. And so they said, look for

316
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 4: our cooperation, for our votes to get to the sixty

317
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 4: vote threshold you need in the Senate to plass culture.

318
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 4: We will give you those votes if you put back

319
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 4: those incentives so that health insurance can remain somewhat affordable

320
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 4: for those who are already on the American Affordable Care Act.

321
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 4: And of course the Republicans have resisted, the president resist.

322
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 4: They are insisting on moving a trillion dollars from working people,

323
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 4: working class Americans. They have shifted one trillion dollars, the

324
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 4: largest wealth transfer in American history, from all of us

325
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 4: to the top one percent, who aren't begging for it

326
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 4: and don't need it, and absolutely don't deserve it. So

327
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 4: they've chosen their side here. They're not choosing keep government

328
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 4: open versus closed. That's not it, Tiffany.

329
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 3: You laid it out perfectly.

330
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 4: It's been closed. They've been shuttering the government. Russell Bott's

331
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 4: threat to the Democrats, you vote with us or we

332
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 4: will fire more people, that ain't real. And I'm glad

333
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 4: the Democrats knew that that threat was not real. Why

334
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 4: because they've already shown us they're committed to laying off

335
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 4: the federal workforce. They're committed to destruction of the government

336
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 4: as we know it. And whether Democrats were to acquiesce

337
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 4: accept that challenge and then give them their vote or not,

338
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 4: Russell vote, Donald Trump and their minions are intent on

339
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 4: bringing the government down. And by the way, it will

340
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 4: have huge impacts for our economy. Why because the federal

341
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 4: government is the largest fricking employer in the land. Nothing bigger,

342
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 4: nothing greater, nothing larger, nothing, employing more people than the

343
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 4: federal government and its subcontractors.

344
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: Oh won't get paid by the way, the contractor and

345
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: they will not get back paid when the government functions again.

346
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 3: And that's their defense. Yeah no, But except for defense.

347
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 7: I wanted to just flag I actually don't have as

348
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 7: much to say on government shut down today. On Tuesday,

349
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 7: we did a many I mean a solo pod on

350
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 7: the government shut down. I fell a buster for thirty minutes.

351
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 7: So I feel like I said all that I need

352
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 7: to say there. Y'all please run that thing back. And

353
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 7: speaking of running that thing back, let's go ahead and

354
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 7: hear what Jasmin Crockett has to say well.

355
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 9: As it relates to the shutdown. Listen, the last time

356
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 9: we had a shut down, it was Trump. The longest

357
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 9: shutdown we've ever had, it was under Trump. So don't

358
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 9: get caught up in this nonsense. That is the Democrat's fault.

359
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 6: You know.

360
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 9: The bad part is that people don't understand civics or

361
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 9: they listen to people that are gaslighting them. And the

362
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 9: facts are the facts. The Republicans control everything.

363
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 10: Now.

364
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 9: There are people that want to talk about the filibuster.

365
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 9: We can talk about the philibuster if you want to

366
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 9: talk about the philibuster. But the reality is that y'all

367
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 9: control everything. You control every single lever right now. So

368
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 9: when you're in control, that means that it is up

369
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 9: to you to figure out how it gets done.

370
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: Wow.

371
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, So yes, I think I feel complete on the.

372
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 4: Not just say, for Jasmine Crockett, who is a hero

373
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 4: in a state in her corner, She's not perfect. She

374
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 4: is perfectly imperfect, and that's what makes her accessible in

375
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 4: somebody that people want to replicate and be inspired by.

376
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 3: But her point around, Lord, I just lost my threats.

377
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 5: Well you know why, because we should probably move on

378
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 5: to the next topic.

379
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: Well, well, because I said, Andrew said no, yeah, because

380
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: I remember you wanted to get to this true, and

381
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: and people are the only reason I'm saying that, Angela's

382
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: because people are going to be devastated by this. And

383
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: I know that you had topics on how Jasmine Crockett

384
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: and her humanity have been coming up. And just in

385
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 1: case you are having the reason why Angela san move

386
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: on is because her solo pod was an hour and

387
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: a half Angela, is that right.

388
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 5: With Yeah, my solo pod was out, Yes, Maxine Waters.

389
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 5: Then I filibuster for a bit.

390
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 7: Jazzmine's teams had a little bit of some technical difficulties.

391
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 5: But it was so worth the way.

392
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 7: And Andrew, you know, one of the things that I

393
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 7: think is significant here as we navigate through this show,

394
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 7: through this shut down, through this administration, is the ways

395
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 7: in which folks who are in elected office and our

396
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 7: public service, what you have to do to put your lives,

397
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 7: your physical body, your emotional health on the line. And

398
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 7: I think we were talking about, you know, just being

399
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 7: concerned about our dear sister Jazzmine and making sure that

400
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 7: we're covering her, especially when you know, the Laura Lumers

401
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 7: of the world are saying all.

402
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 5: Kind of crazy stuff, questioning intellect.

403
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 7: Degrading them, calling them out their name for doing nothing

404
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 7: but protecting black folks, you know, and what's in the

405
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 7: best interests of the whole of the American people, whether

406
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 7: or not the whole of the American people receive it

407
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 7: or not.

408
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 5: So, you know, I think to that end, we have

409
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 5: to find multiple.

410
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 7: Places to share, to be advocates in whatever our lanes

411
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 7: are to be, to utilize our platforms and our talents

412
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 7: to facilitate change in this country. We have to use

413
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 7: every tool at our disposal, not just one solitary tool.

414
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 5: I don't know if that reminded you, but if.

415
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 3: Not, listen, Angela.

416
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 4: You know I should have left a dead thing alone

417
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 4: because it was a technical point and I completely lost

418
00:20:58,680 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 4: the threads.

419
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 3: So guess what, all, right?

420
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 5: That what you said using the talents is bad, Bunny.

421
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: Yes, and we have a viewer question who brought that up? So,

422
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: but to close out, I just want to say.

423
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 3: For those of you, I love y'all. I love y'all

424
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 3: for y'all's pivoting and the cover is really humorous.

425
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 5: Well, you guys cover me too.

426
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: We all cover each other. But I just want to

427
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: say before we move on, for all of you who

428
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: are impacted by this government shutdown, who are now worried

429
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: about how you're going to pay your mortgage, how you're

430
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,239
Speaker 1: going to feed your children, how you're going to take

431
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: a care of family near and far, I too, am

432
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: in that same situation with you. I understand, and we

433
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: will be continuing to talk about it here on Native

434
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: Lamb Pod. If you do want a deeper dive, though,

435
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: please do revisit Angela's solo pod. It was an hour

436
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: and a half just on the government checkout. So we're

437
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: not breezing past this. It's just that it has not

438
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: been talked about a lot, so thank.

439
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 10: You for that.

440
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 5: Keep we keep going from crisis to crisis.

441
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 7: Yes, we keep like this is a manufacturer crisis that

442
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 7: they do at our expense, over and over again, and

443
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 7: that should not be lost on you.

444
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 5: And just in time Andrew's point got it back then,

445
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 5: you got it.

446
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 3: You got it. So this was the point.

447
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,959
Speaker 4: It was Usually when there's a president and a Congress,

448
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 4: they do everything that they can to avert a shutdown.

449
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 4: Why because they know of the drastic harm that it

450
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 4: causes people. This administration, the incentives are perverse. They're not

451
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 4: incentivized to reduce harm. They're not incentivized to keep government

452
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 4: open and accessible to the people.

453
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 3: This president has determined that he.

454
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 4: Is he is really loyal only to him at this point,

455
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 4: as far as he's concerned, either there will be no

456
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 4: more elections or he won't stand for another election for president,

457
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 4: and therefore his poll numbers don't matter. And I wanted

458
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 4: to bring in the point around these poll numbers that

459
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 4: came out this week would show that pretty much, although

460
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 4: underwater and unpopular, the president's support amongst Republicans remains not

461
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 4: out of ten Republicans in this country still approve of

462
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 4: his job. And so we've all been talking about and

463
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 4: waiting for the reasonable ones to show up? Where are

464
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 4: the ones who are the middle world? Where are the

465
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 4: folks who are are reasonable in this moment and can

466
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 4: see the harm that's being caused. I guess the illumination

467
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 4: I had and I knew it all along, but confirmed

468
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 4: reading these numbers this week is that there isn't that

469
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 4: their wholesale signed up to the full scale agenda. So

470
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 4: the tactics that they may find unpleasant along the way

471
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 4: might just be just that unpleasant, but as it relates

472
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 4: to the goal, their wholesale fully committed to the destruction

473
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 4: that Donald Trump is sowing throughout this country, throughout the world,

474
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 4: certainly throughout this government. So I just wanted to disavow

475
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 4: us of the fact that this is in any way

476
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 4: a real normal moment. We've got perverse incentives of a

477
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 4: guy who actually gets the pleasure off of people doing bad,

478
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 4: of people suffering in so many ways, you know, that

479
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 4: is the point of what they're doing. And to the

480
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 4: extent that there are reasonable people, I can't see it,

481
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 4: and these poles confirm it.

482
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 3: They don't exist.

483
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 5: And sometimes people can be so bad it's good.

484
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: Well, I think Angela's talking about I just want to

485
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: point out, though factually you're talking, I'm pretty sure you're

486
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: referring to the Reuter's pole there. Andrew and yes, yes,

487
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: the pole. But yes, let's move on because I.

488
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 5: Think it's so bad it's good.

489
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: Angela really wants.

490
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 5: To move on to this.

491
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 3: Buddy.

492
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 5: But m so we have a question.

493
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: Let's hear from a from a viewer? Uh to shift

494
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: us into the next subject.

495
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 11: Hey, Native Lampard, this is Megan from Cleveland, Ohio. My

496
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 11: question has to do about you know, was recently announced

497
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 11: that Bad Bunny would be performed, I mean at the

498
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 11: super Bowl, and I just want to know. You know,

499
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 11: first of all, does anyone even remember Kendrick's performance? You know,

500
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 11: with everything happening, everything that has happened, what really did

501
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 11: that performance?

502
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 6: Do you know?

503
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 11: I don't know that we have more black ownership in

504
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 11: the NFL. I don't know that we have more black

505
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 11: head coaches on the field in the NFL. So we

506
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 11: have these moments and it just seems like we're the

507
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,959
Speaker 11: only ones celebrating them. You know, they just seem performative.

508
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 11: I don't know that they really do anything. I don't

509
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 11: know what movement it actually makes for our community. So

510
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 11: now with Bad Bunny performing, do we care what?

511
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 6: What you know?

512
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 11: Are we do we have an opinion on it at all?

513
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 5: Are we excited. I don't know that I'm excited.

514
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 11: They're letting us get up there in tap dance form,

515
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 11: but we've always got up there in tap dance form.

516
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 12: So just wanted to know you.

517
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 11: Guys thoughts on it. Love Native Land, been a fans

518
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 11: in Stay One, Take care of you guys.

519
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 5: Thank you Megan for that question.

520
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: We have gotten your feedback that we don't specifically answer

521
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: your questions all the time, so I know, Angela, you

522
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: have a lot of thoughts on this subject.

523
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 7: Well, first, let me just say this because I think

524
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 7: that people will relate, say, Jake, we remember Kidrick's performance, Like,

525
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 7: not only do we remember Kidrick's performance, it is still

526
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 7: firal right now. You could walk up to somebody and

527
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 7: say da Da Da da and they know what it means.

528
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 7: Like it wasn't just the song, it was the way

529
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 7: that he uh challenged the fabric of America in his performance.

530
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 5: And I think that.

531
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 7: I'm gonna I'm gonna say something that may be controversial

532
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 7: to some of y'all. I think that one of the

533
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 7: best things that could have happened to the super Bowl

534
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 7: halftime show is that Rock Nation took it on and

535
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 7: they have the ability to challenge the viewer, the typical

536
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 7: NFL viewer, the folks who are in those stands. Overwhelmingly

537
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 7: we cannot afford those tickets. Some parts of us can't

538
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 7: afford those tickets. But those shows are for the viewing

539
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 7: audience at home to challenge, for some to uplift, and

540
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 7: for some to be able to have a man corner.

541
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 5: While there has been, I.

542
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 7: Think, particularly this year, a growing or over the last

543
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 7: three hundred and sixty five, a growing divide even more

544
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 7: so than normal between the black and brown communities, I

545
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 7: think that it is very powerful that Bad Bunny has

546
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 7: the opportunity, in the midst of what is happening to

547
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 7: LATINX folks to have that stage. I really do, and

548
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 7: I look forward to what he does there.

549
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 5: I don't believe.

550
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 7: That movements are built absent arts, whether they are the

551
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,239
Speaker 7: fine arts or performing arts. I think that they are

552
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 7: built and inspired and carried through the arts.

553
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 5: You know, to the point where I would.

554
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 7: Ask for some artists to come together to do a

555
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 7: song around state of the People, and that they would

556
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 7: agree to do something like that.

557
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 5: It is, I mean, there's a reason.

558
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 7: Why we are the world had the impact it had,

559
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 7: you know, even if you look back to Jason's lyric

560
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 7: and there was a black male chorus, you will know,

561
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 7: like there are moments self destruction, there are always moments

562
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 7: where the arts carry the movement, carry the demands.

563
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 5: Of the people. And I think that this isn't any different.

564
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 5: And if it can be on a.

565
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 7: Stage that is so well funded, so well choreographed, it's

566
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 7: so overwhelmingly seen, I think that's exactly where the arts belong.

567
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 3: That's real appreciate.

568
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 5: Can I just say this to our dear sister from Cleveland.

569
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 7: I know that it's not answering your question, but I

570
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 7: do want to acknowledge your skin is poppinsis.

571
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 5: Glowing.

572
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 3: I love it. Shout out Began.

573
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 4: I will say to answer very directly, halftime performances are

574
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 4: performative by definition, they are really intended.

575
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 3: No, I mean this by the sensitive.

576
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 4: I think of late, we've gotten very high minded about

577
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 4: our expectations for these kinds of performances. But largely, you know,

578
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 4: it's to entertain. And it's only of late and at

579
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 4: very selective moments in American history have we seen them

580
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 4: catapult to something more, to be statement pieces, to be

581
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 4: thought pieces, to be queries of the mind and of

582
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 4: people who are watching to be moments of protests, but

583
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 4: also moments of unity on occasion they are also, you know,

584
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 4: in my opinion, representation matters. It matters to see yourself

585
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 4: your experience reflected, and it matters especially on an occasion

586
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 4: where there are more eyes on the television screen on

587
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 4: one single set of programming, which hasn't frankly happened in

588
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 4: this country for thirty forty years. You know, back in

589
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 4: the day when there were only four networks, everybody forty

590
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 4: million people were watching the same show at the same time.

591
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 4: There was a common American experience that doesn't exist anymore

592
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 4: in our country. By and large, this is probably one

593
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 4: of those very few occasions where all eyes or as

594
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 4: many eyes as you can imagine, are on one set

595
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 4: of programming. And I like the fact that my white colleagues,

596
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 4: my black colleagues, brown sisters and brothers out there, so

597
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 4: on and so forth, are by and large experiencing this

598
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 4: very same moment at the same time, and oddly enough,

599
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 4: many of them still walking away with very different impressions

600
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 4: and piercings and evaluations of what that thing meant to them.

601
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 3: Usually the haters say that was boring that didn't need

602
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 3: to happen. Da da da da dada.

603
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 4: When did we become so political? And then those who

604
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 4: are affirming of the performances and what they signify by

605
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 4: virtual meaning are championing it.

606
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 3: Man, that was high, that was wild? Did you see

607
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 3: Do you understand the meaning of that? Wholesale? Incoment?

608
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,959
Speaker 4: Newspapers are writing thought pieces on what was intended by

609
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 4: each piece of art and choreography, you know, as it unfolded.

610
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 4: I just think that's powerful. There are very few moments

611
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 4: anymore in this country where we have shared experience, even

612
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 4: if our interpretations of that experience are different, and representation matters.

613
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: You know, I take a completely different view than both

614
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: of you. I acknowledge your points, and I definitely think they're.

615
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 13: Like.

616
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with them. I just have a different view.

617
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: I kind of agree with the viewer my sister from Cleveland,

618
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: because I don't think she was saying that people don't

619
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: remember Kendrick's performance in the sense that we've forgotten about it.

620
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: I understood her to be saying, what did it change?

621
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: You know, what policies did it change? And I certainly

622
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: understand her point. In Okay, so they get the benefit

623
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: of our eyes. These billionaire NFL owners who largely support

624
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and this administration and his policies, who have

625
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: contributed to him, they get the benefit of black and

626
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: brown talent at their halftime show. We increase their viewership

627
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: when we watch the games and when we watched the

628
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: halftime show. Even if he is there making a political

629
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: statement and a political point, the question I'm asking is

630
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: who's really winning and who's really losing. Just for backgrounds

631
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: for people who may not be familiar with the whole

632
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: Bad Bunny saga, he did a thirty one day residency

633
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: in San Juan. He bypassed coming to the mainland is

634
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: driving me crazy, because in the newscast you'll hear him say, well,

635
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: he bypassed coming to the US. Well, Puerto Rico is

636
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: a part of the United States. He bypassed coming to

637
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: the mainland because of the mass ice deportations, which are

638
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: of course unconstitutional, which are of course authoritarian, And he

639
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: in an interview with ID magazine said I'm not doing

640
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,479
Speaker 1: my concerts. Their ice could literally be outside of my concert.

641
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: So I applaud him for taking that stance. He left

642
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: a lot of money on the table he was printed

643
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: about it, and I really appreciate that. I too question

644
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: what have we really gained since Rock Nation took over

645
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: the halftime show other than some super dope halftime shows.

646
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: Where I struggle, I think is what you guys are saying,

647
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: and what I think you guys are saying is messaging matters.

648
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: You know, imagery matters at this time, and I think

649
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: that's so true. That is definitely essential. This is a

650
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: large audience, So given that, I hope he goes super hard,

651
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: you know, I hope he is disrespectful at the halftime

652
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: show because I think that's what it would take. I

653
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: remember there were people saying they didn't get Kendrick Lamar.

654
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: What was he saying they didn't get the performance? If

655
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: you ain't get it, it wasn't for you. I've seen

656
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: a lot of videos in my feed of people sitting there,

657
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: like trying to learn Spanish, and they're like me, trying

658
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: to learn Spanish, so I can understand everything. For the

659
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: halftime show, people are definitely excited about it, but I

660
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: do I think her point stands like, we haven't seen

661
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: this increase in black coaches. We haven't seen any NFL

662
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: policy change, nor have we seen these halftime performances push

663
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: any policy outside of the NFL even So I think

664
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 1: it's a fair criticism, and I think we should.

665
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 5: It is our job.

666
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: It is our responsibility as consumers of Rock Nations music

667
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 1: and as consumers of the NFL to continue to push

668
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,959
Speaker 1: them to give us more tangible change. Because I would

669
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: even say, even if there were more black NFL coaches,

670
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: like Okay, it was kind of like around the protest

671
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: around Colin Kaepernick, I'm like, that's all we ask them

672
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 1: for is but it's one black man to get a job,

673
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: Like we need institutional change.

674
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Andrew, I want to ask you when did

675
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 4: when did halftime performances and the entertainers who entertain us

676
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 4: during that time like get tasked with the responsibility of

677
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 4: creating public policy change.

678
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: So I don't think it's their responsibility to create policy change.

679
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: I think at the time that Rock Nation took over

680
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: the halftime show, that is what centered because that's why

681
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: it happened, because people were critical of the NFL. It

682
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: was on the heels of them completely disrespecting and sidelining

683
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: and robbing Colin Kaepernick of employment and opportunity. And so

684
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: when it was beneficial for them to turn something over

685
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: to a black man. That's when they did it. And

686
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: so the pushback from the black community was like, oh,

687
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: hold up, what's going on. I mean, Colin Kaepernick wasn't

688
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: supportive of the move so people were saying, what are

689
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: we getting out of this? And so that was and

690
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: Angel correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that

691
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: was their response, like, no, we're gonna, you know, make

692
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: this a moment, make this a movement. These halftime shows

693
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: will be a movement. I think that's when the halftime

694
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: show became political. For the expectation of it was to

695
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: be political and give pushback. But I'm open to if

696
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: I have that wrong.

697
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 4: No, but to that extent, I would say the shows

698
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 4: of late actually have been more political, and they have

699
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 4: provoked an awoken, real conversation and debate within the American

700
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 4: peace and I actually think like that's the change that

701
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 4: has even if it draws us to our corners, at

702
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 4: least we start to hear people articulate what's driving them

703
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 4: to one corner or another. We are so beref of

704
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 4: honest dialogue anymore as a country. I mean, like I

705
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 4: used to think that Republicans had a set of values around.

706
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 4: For instance, they used to be the party of don't

707
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 4: tread on Me, and now there anything but that anymore. Right,

708
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 4: Yet there's still claiming and you know, shrouding themselves in

709
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 4: the American flag, And I'm like, how dishonest can you be?

710
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 4: Either you line to you, because I know you've been

711
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 4: lying to me. I didn't expect the truth from you,

712
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 4: but to themselves, And so I appreciate what dialogue can

713
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 4: be sparked there, because in truth, public policy change around

714
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 4: diversity and inclusion doesn't change people's hearts and minds. It's

715
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 4: culture that changes hearts and minds. It's culture that largely

716
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 4: causes you to think differently about a thing, to be

717
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 4: pricked in a way that is not totally offensive, and

718
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 4: therefore you might be open to what the critique is.

719
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 3: I think that's kind of what art helps to I

720
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 3: don't think we're in a mad society.

721
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: I don't think we're dealing with those we're dealing with extremists,

722
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: We're dealing with culton.

723
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 4: I agree with that by and large. For those of

724
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 4: us who are political, I agree with that by and large.

725
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 4: But again, you know, half the country ain't voting and

726
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 4: the majority of support that we need to be having

727
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 4: out there is amongst each other, is with community. And

728
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 4: so to the extent that this sced conversation that wasn't

729
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 4: happening before.

730
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 3: I mean really before we were.

731
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,479
Speaker 4: Talking about somebody titty being out right and Timberlay getting

732
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 4: off while somebody else is carrying the load. And now

733
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 4: people are talking about what is the symbolism and the

734
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 4: meaning behind this that part while taking ownership of the flag,

735
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 4: but in a different way. Now I feel more connected

736
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 4: to my country and to my community.

737
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 3: I just think that's I.

738
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: Think our side.

739
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 3: I was about to value that.

740
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: I think we've always been talking about that though, Like

741
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,919
Speaker 1: I just I agree with the caller or the viewer's point.

742
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: What exactly is this changing? What institutional changes has the

743
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: NFL made, and what changes do we think these performances

744
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 1: make other than enriching the pockets of billionaires who support

745
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 1: this administration and their policies. What I would like the

746
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,240
Speaker 1: audience to know because of bad Bunny bypassing the United

747
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: States and why he is is right now, immigrants with

748
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,919
Speaker 1: no criminal record zero criminal record are the largest group

749
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: in US immigration detention centers. That's according to data released

750
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: by our own United States government. So when we're looking

751
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: at that, I can understand why people are saying, I

752
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: don't know, if you know, I'm excited about this bad

753
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: Bunny performance more than I am outraged about what's actually

754
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: happening in the country. But I don't want to be

755
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: hypcrit I will be watching the halftime show and go ahead, Angela, yeah, go.

756
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 3: Ahead, No.

757
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 7: And I think this is the thing, right, It's like,

758
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 7: you know, we have somebody or an entity that is

759
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 7: willing to push the buck with these folks because they

760
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 7: have some influence. They've been able to shift. Folks would

761
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 7: be mad as hell if it was Kid Rock, you

762
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 7: know what I mean. So now it's like, oh, well,

763
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 7: these racist NFL owners, of which there are many, right,

764
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 7: So you still have the NFL running this show, but

765
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 7: the owners still have outside influence. Many of them think

766
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 7: they are right, we don't say many. Too many of

767
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 7: them think they are running plantations. And so when you

768
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 7: have that ideology and you have somebody willing to push

769
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 7: back on this, yes it is just the halftime performance,

770
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 7: And yes it is the halftime performance. That is the

771
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 7: very thing that if it were not these artists that

772
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 7: we actually do support politically or we do feel like

773
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 7: we're aligned with them on social issues or social justice causes.

774
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 7: We would be mad if it was somebody else, like

775
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 7: the many of the artists. No, Taylor, Taylor is more

776
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 7: aligned with us politically and on social issues than some others.

777
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 7: But I do think bad Bunny makes a different statement

778
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 7: than Taylor does. And so yeah, like I just I

779
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 7: think that it's interesting that it's like you damned if

780
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 7: you do, damned if you don't hear. The other thing

781
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,919
Speaker 7: that I'll say without saying too much, is I really

782
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 7: wish people knew the backstory of what happened and how

783
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 7: they got to doing the halftime shows to begin with,

784
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 7: of what their actual intention was. There wasn't a real

785
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 7: different end goal than what the rest of the community was,

786
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 7: and that was for Cap to get on a team.

787
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 7: But I wonder for us if Cap getting on the

788
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 7: team would have been sufficient. If Cap got on a team,

789
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 7: would we still have the issues around the lack of

790
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 7: black head coaches in the NFL when we still have

791
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 7: an issue with the fact that only seventeen percent or

792
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 7: eighteen percent of coaches look like us. The fact despite

793
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 7: the fact that seventy five percent of the players look

794
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 7: like us, so I really want us to also challenge

795
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 7: our own hypocrisy here. And I'm saying us black folks,

796
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 7: because it is far deeper than that. But I recognize

797
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 7: and understand the symbolism. We have to decide if the

798
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,760
Speaker 7: symbols are the substance or if we're going to continue

799
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 7: to push for substance even when we get some of

800
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 7: the symbols. And I think that it is not either or.

801
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 7: It is probably a both and approach. But we got

802
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 7: to figure out, you know, what is the symbol that

803
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,320
Speaker 7: we care the most about and when we're going to

804
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 7: challenge them for upholding the symbol but dissing us on

805
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 7: everything else, or should we be doing both? And I

806
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 7: think this is probably one of those things where we

807
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 7: should do both. We've got to win on the halftime show.

808
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 7: It is not sufficient, and I think the Rock Nation

809
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 7: family understands that, and certainly everybody on this podcast understands this.

810
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 7: There is another viewer question here, and since you brought

811
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 7: up Ice Tiff, maybe we should tap in there.

812
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 5: But I heard Andrew take a breasth case he wants no.

813
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 4: I just I think we shouldn't overload people with doing

814
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 4: everything we all have our jobs. We all have our

815
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 4: roles to play. Policymakers have a job to do here,

816
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 4: the board of these multilateral corporations who are sponsors to

817
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 4: the commercials that play that largely line the pockets of

818
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 4: the networks, and these owners, they have a role to play. Also,

819
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 4: entertainers who are really invited to just entertain have a

820
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 4: responsibility in a role to play given their platforms. And

821
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 4: I don't want to overload any one side of this

822
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 4: with more than what they're reasonable and righteous responsibility ought

823
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:28,959
Speaker 4: to be in the moment.

824
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I would push back on that a

825
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: little bit. I think rock Nation became the you know,

826
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: jay Z and rock Nation became billionaires off of us

827
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: supporting his music his projects early on. So I think

828
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: black people are always righteously entitled to challenging what he's

829
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: done with that level of responsibility.

830
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 7: I would never that's not entirely true though, Like he

831
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 7: did not become a billionaire just off of streams. He

832
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 7: became a billionaire after several other business deals.

833
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 5: But he became a billionaire.

834
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he does, but he did. I'm not

835
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: saying every billion he got was from us, but I'm

836
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 1: saying from the support that black people gave him that

837
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: put him in a position to flip that money a

838
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: few times.

839
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 7: But that was the finesse of a smart businessman investing

840
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 7: in I'm not taking.

841
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: That away from him, but he wouldn't have been able

842
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 1: to do that much if he didn't have to support

843
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: of black people. So that then say, we can't challenge

844
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: him and what he's doing.

845
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 5: That challenge it, but I think you should listen to

846
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 5: the facts of their responses though too. I think that's true.

847
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: I think unfortunately, well I shouldn't say unfortunately or not,

848
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: but Colin Kaepernick was you know, vocal about his thoughts

849
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: on the partnership, and that's what we heard. And I

850
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: think the imagery that we've seen, you know, from them

851
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: dining with uh, you know, the the Trump kids and

852
00:43:58,480 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: people right after.

853
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 5: That announced and bad Bunny would be the halftime performer.

854
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 5: That doesn't But that.

855
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,959
Speaker 1: Doesn't not a lot of people. That does not wait

856
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: for a lot of people. I think people have a

857
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: right to be outraised and angry about those things. They

858
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 1: can be, but I want them to be outraged and

859
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: angry with facts. So then even the comment just now

860
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 1: about they were dining with the Trump kids. Let's just

861
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: put some clarity around this.

862
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 5: So they are. They are.

863
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 7: Some of the founding members of the Reform Alliance, which

864
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 7: was a bipartisan effort to help get people, reduce people's sentences,

865
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 7: make sure that justice reform actually happened in this country.

866
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 7: Even the Koch Brothers were a part of these efforts

867
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 7: with Hikim Jeffries just a few years ago.

868
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 5: Now it feels like five hundred.

869
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 7: But the Reform Alliance is holds a gala, a casino

870
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 7: event every year where people on every side of the

871
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 7: on all parts of the political spectrum, participate in that event.

872
00:44:53,960 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 7: So the Trump's Jared Kushner, whose father was also incarcerated

873
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 7: and therefore he leaned very heavily into justice reform efforts

874
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 7: in the last Trump administration, is now involved in the

875
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 7: Reform Alliance, and they participated in the most recent event.

876
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 7: It was Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.

877
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 1: And the reason his father was exactly the reason that

878
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 1: father was parsrated is a whole other thing. But thank you,

879
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: because I think that that the facts do matter around that.

880
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 1: But if we're saying imagery matters in the halftime show,

881
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: then imagery definitely equally matters when you are seated at

882
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 1: the table with Jarrek Kushner at a time such as this,

883
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: when things are going on, I think it is perfectly

884
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: fine for people to question, wait a second, this doesn't

885
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: feel right to me, or wait a second, what more

886
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:42,800
Speaker 1: are you doing? What more can we should we be

887
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: expecting of you? It's not this to anybody, But I

888
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 1: was talking to one of our luner. I don't think

889
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: he would want me to say his name, but I

890
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: was talking to one of our luminaries of the time,

891
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: asking his thoughts, and he said, listen, at the end

892
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: of the day, a billionaire is a billionaire is a billionaire,

893
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,800
Speaker 1: And so I think sometimes I do question that. You know,

894
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: I look at the peopleeople who in our community who

895
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 1: maneuver at that level, and there does sometimes feel like

896
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 1: a disconnect. But I also think it's fair what you

897
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: guys are saying about imagery mattering, and about what we

898
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: should what's realistic, what we can expect, and should we

899
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: be celebrating the things that they are doing. I think

900
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: everything on the table I think is fair. I just

901
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,919
Speaker 1: identify more with what the viewer, what she was raising.

902
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: I think it's a fair question to ask.

903
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 4: The only thing I know we got to go on

904
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 4: is simply say we could. We could disrupt the lives

905
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 4: of these billionaire, racist owners, many of too, many of

906
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 4: which right now owned teams and think they run in plantations.

907
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 4: For sure, if we decided to take our eyes off

908
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 4: the screen every Sunday, very fought if we were to

909
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 4: remove ours, because the accountability has to.

910
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 3: Flow all way.

911
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:45,919
Speaker 5: Yes, that's true.

912
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 4: It isn't just Jaz, It ain't just the you know,

913
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 4: the owners. It is the fact that they wouldn't have

914
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 4: what they have. The NFL would not be the expanding,

915
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,839
Speaker 4: profound industry, you know, disruptive industry that it is from

916
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 4: me and so much else if our eyeballs were not

917
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 4: on it, if we were not watching, if we weren't

918
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 4: attending games and buying tickets. And the truth is is

919
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 4: if we the regular folk, were to remove our support

920
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 4: visa VI, putting our eyes on it, therefore driving money

921
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 4: toward it, then that wouldn't be the thing.

922
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 3: Ross wouldn't be a thing. Right, So accountability is right.

923
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 4: I was only simply arguing not just what's possible or

924
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 4: what's reasonable, but to say that I do have expectations

925
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 4: for everybody along this along this pipeline, and it doesn't.

926
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 4: I was simply saying, it doesn't sit with Bad Bunny

927
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 4: himself to accomplish all those missions by through his performance.

928
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 3: It doesn't sit with jay Z by himself. It doesn't

929
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 3: sit with any one of those.

930
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:50,799
Speaker 4: Constituencies by themselves, but the most impactful constituency of those

931
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 4: of us who are watching.

932
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 5: I love that.

933
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: Can I just say I really love this conversation. I

934
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: didn't expect this conversation to go all these different dress

935
00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: I knew there was daylight, but it really is a

936
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: New Wants conversation. I don't think we would have gotten

937
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: this conversation anywhere else on the cable news. It would

938
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: have been a five minute thing. So I really love

939
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 1: the nuanced perspective that we all bring and would love

940
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: to hear from our viewers. Please weigh in with what

941
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: you all think. I love what you said, Andrew, And

942
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: I'm not dismissing people who love football, because when this

943
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: was happening, I remember, y'all know I'm a big huge

944
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones head, and I was trying to think, like, damn,

945
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: what if it was called a boycott? Not watching Game

946
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: of Thrones? How get So would I be like, am

947
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 1: I gonna miss that Game of Thrones finale?

948
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 5: I don't know.

949
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: So I get that perspective, but I like the exactly

950
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:37,839
Speaker 1: But I appreciate the perspective that you're like, responsibility doesn't

951
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: sit with any one of us, for everybody who's out

952
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: there watching the football game but criticizing the halftime show,

953
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: like what are you doing in your role of responsibility?

954
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: So I love that. But but a lot of the

955
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: stems from bad Bunny not bringing his tour to the

956
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 1: mainland because he said, you know, ICE could be right

957
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: outside his concerts, and I know we have a viewer

958
00:48:58,480 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: who has a question about that.

959
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 8: What's up? Native Land is Larry once again in Dallas,

960
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,919
Speaker 8: soon to be in Canada once I move next month.

961
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 8: But I want to talk to you guys about the

962
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 8: bad Body Built bill that Trump just signed into law.

963
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:28,240
Speaker 8: This is going to give ICE an astounding amount of funding.

964
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 13: Not only would dollar for dollar make it the largest

965
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 13: governmental agency, but also I believe I read the sixteenth

966
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,240
Speaker 13: largest military power on the planet.

967
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 8: That's terrible. I see this going horribly not only for immigrants,

968
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 8: but for everybody that dissents against this fascist agenda. I

969
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 8: wanted to know from you guys, what are some steps

970
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 8: of disruption or mutual aid that people can do to

971
00:49:55,640 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 8: combat ICE and or the undoubtedly problemat of consequences that

972
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 8: this new Gestapo force is going to have on average citizens.

973
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 8: Looking forward to hearing your perspectives. I love y'all, and

974
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 8: welcome home.

975
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 5: Welcome home, he said, he moving to Canada.

976
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 1: He said, yeah, you got a question, though, don't get side.

977
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 1: We don't answer that question. I know, well, my thought

978
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 1: is to be disobedient. What I've seen from and this

979
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: is just like videos that unfortunately you don't find on

980
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: legacy media, but you've seen videos from different outlets that

981
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: find their way to social media and on different news

982
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:45,239
Speaker 1: sites where communities overwhelmingly show up and stop ICE from

983
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 1: taking somebody. They make them and welcome to the point

984
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:52,760
Speaker 1: where ICE literally backs out. They outnumber them in droves.

985
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 1: They videotape them. Ice is now attacking people who are

986
00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: videotaping them. This week, they just attacked a journalist. This

987
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,800
Speaker 1: is not a normal thing. I mean, we are literally

988
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 1: normalizing mass men uh taking people off the streets and

989
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 1: disappearing them. Reporting from CNN sites that authorities in at

990
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 1: least three states have arrested individuals allegedly impersonating ICE officers

991
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 1: at a time when real ICE agents have, you know,

992
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: ramped up their disappearing acts, and it's adding to an

993
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: existing fear of law enforcement. I said earlier in the

994
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: show that more people who have committed no crimes whatsoever,

995
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 1: they now outnumber these allegedly violent criminals. There have also

996
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 1: been thousands of people since these deportations happened. More than

997
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 1: a thousand people have disappeared. We just don't know where

998
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 1: they are. They've disappeared from the daily body count. So

999
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 1: imagine people can't find, you know, their loved ones. The

1000
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 1: superintendent of schools in Iowa, for all the people who

1001
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 1: said this an r when we mind in our business,

1002
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: this black man who was born in Guyana, a pillar

1003
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 1: of the community, was disappeared by ice. And so this

1004
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: is a dangerous, scary time and the only thing that's

1005
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 1: gonna stop and authoritarian regime is disobedience. I had a

1006
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 1: chance to talk with Congressman Ayana Pressley about this during

1007
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 1: the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, and she gave really good

1008
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 1: advice on this about protecting ourselves and our community. So

1009
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm not telling people to go out there and get

1010
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 1: shot and you know, confront ice officers with violence. But

1011
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:32,800
Speaker 1: I do think when we do this in DROs and

1012
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 1: in numbers and demand you know, accountability and respect for

1013
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: our communities and show up for one another. If there's

1014
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: eighteen agents going after one person and it's thirty people

1015
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood, then yes, protect that one person. If

1016
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:47,799
Speaker 1: you see somebody getting taken, get out your phone, ask

1017
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: their name. Who can you call, you know, to let

1018
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 1: them know that you were taken. It's getting to the point,

1019
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:56,360
Speaker 1: well I feel like I want to AirTag on me somewhere,

1020
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:59,279
Speaker 1: just so somebody can constantly be aware I'm aware of

1021
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 1: where I am. Because they're not citizens, then none of

1022
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: us are citizens if they came and got injury. Right

1023
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: now that you're not a citizen, bo, But wait, yes

1024
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 1: I am. I have a passport, I can show you. Well,

1025
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 1: you don't get due processed, so now you're just disappeared.

1026
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 1: So we have to consider it's not they, it's we.

1027
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: It's not them, it's us. Eventually this problem is going

1028
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 1: to come to our front door. So that's my thoughts.

1029
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 8: So good, so good.

1030
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:24,800
Speaker 4: It already is I appreciate that SYS. I mean in

1031
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 4: places like Florida, where you have huge Haitian Haitian communities

1032
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 4: that have been displaced from hat because of the political

1033
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 4: discord there and have been granted asylum under previous administrations

1034
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 4: and have now had it revoked from this administration.

1035
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 3: They are racially profiling.

1036
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 4: They are deciding whether or not you look like you

1037
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 4: belong here, by the way, a principle that used to

1038
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 4: be illegal in the United States thanks up until the

1039
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 4: US Supreme Court majority determined that, oh, racial profiling to

1040
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 4: determine whether or not a person is a citizen.

1041
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 3: It's just fine with with them.

1042
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 4: The only other thing I would add, and I think

1043
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 4: you did so well with their Tiffany, is to say

1044
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,360
Speaker 4: at your local levels. So the entire state of California

1045
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,720
Speaker 4: has now banned federal agents coming in without with masks,

1046
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 4: mass individuals disappearing to use your language, sipetany folks out

1047
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 4: of communities. You can push for local ordinances where you live.

1048
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 4: You got to go local government that is sensitive to

1049
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 4: these human rights concerns. I am totally not shocked that

1050
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 4: there are now criminal elements who are deciding, oh, we

1051
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:31,359
Speaker 4: could just throw on some masks and go and get

1052
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 4: our enemies as well and lift them off the street.

1053
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:36,360
Speaker 4: There's a reason why people got badges and badge numbers.

1054
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 4: There's a reason why they wear those things on their

1055
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 4: uniforms and display them for the public. It's a form

1056
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 4: of accountability in a democracy, and now we ought to

1057
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 4: be pushing for that same accountability even for this agency.

1058
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,840
Speaker 4: He is also completely right on the DHS on the

1059
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 4: Homeland Security. The President frankly building his own army, domestic

1060
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 4: army to carry out his wishes. While the military he

1061
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 4: may have been frozen and didn't applaud for him, which

1062
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 4: is in practice the right thing. That the military is

1063
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 4: to be non political, to respect the office of the presidency,

1064
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 4: but not to be partisans.

1065
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:13,839
Speaker 3: So the president, that wasn't good enough for him.

1066
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 4: He wanted obeisance, applause, rowdiness and supporting him.

1067
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 3: Well.

1068
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:25,320
Speaker 4: Now through his pin up Gnome and the force that

1069
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 4: she is building under the Department of Homeland Security, he

1070
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 4: is absolutely building his own domestic army, willing and prepared

1071
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 4: to do his bidding. And I think that's just a

1072
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 4: cautionary note that we all have to be aware of.

1073
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 4: But there are things I think we should be advocating

1074
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 4: for at our local levels, and that should be no masks.

1075
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 4: If you're an arresting official agency of the government, you

1076
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:48,800
Speaker 4: ought to be able to have your name and displayed

1077
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 4: and no masks.

1078
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 6: You know.

1079
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 5: On that Andrew again.

1080
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 7: Jasmine Crockett was on with this earlier this week and

1081
00:55:55,880 --> 00:56:00,480
Speaker 7: she has a bill, the clear Id Act, to prohibit

1082
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:04,920
Speaker 7: people from being in law enforcement and wearing masks approaching

1083
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 7: citizens or any human being on the street without having

1084
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 7: to properly identify yourself.

1085
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 1: Okay, why do we have another viewer question? This one

1086
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 1: is actually specific to Angela's. I want to shift this

1087
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:20,359
Speaker 1: so Angela can answer his question.

1088
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 5: Let's roll it.

1089
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:24,840
Speaker 6: My question, Angela is does it serve a purpose? The

1090
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 6: only call out people from the right that call our

1091
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 6: justice Brown Jackson, who I think is genius in VP

1092
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 6: Harris the EI picks when it was actually Canada Biden

1093
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 6: and the Democratic Party that originally called them the EI picks.

1094
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 11: Correct me if I'm wrong, But.

1095
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 6: Wasn't it day Kenneda Biden, in this attempt to get

1096
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 6: the black vote say that he will pick a black

1097
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 6: woman justice before even naming her name. And then it

1098
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 6: was a Democratic Party that turned around and urged.

1099
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:01,880
Speaker 3: Canada Biden to de pick a black.

1100
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:02,439
Speaker 11: Women for VP.

1101
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 13: So would you.

1102
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:05,840
Speaker 6: Agree that that was a mistake on the part of

1103
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 6: the Dems actually naming a I guess the sense and

1104
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 6: the race before I actually name it the name.

1105
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:14,840
Speaker 5: Thank you, Okay.

1106
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 7: So here's the thing that I just want to do here,

1107
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 7: I think is so important. As Andrew said, we do

1108
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 7: not traffic in insignificance here, and we absolutely want to

1109
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 7: make sure that we traffic in fact checking. So it

1110
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 7: was not Joe Biden who began the DEI rhetoric. I

1111
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 7: don't know of any Democratic candidate even there are Democratic

1112
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 7: Party strategies now who are saying that we spend too

1113
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 7: much time in DEI.

1114
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 5: And for those of you who missed it, spending.

1115
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 7: Too much time in DEI means spending too much time

1116
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 7: targeting the Blacks. So we actually believe, and I won't

1117
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 7: say for y'all, but I believe in a moniker that

1118
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 7: the Congressional Black Caucus has long used no permanent friends,

1119
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 7: no permanent enemies, just permanent interest. To that end, when

1120
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 7: Joe Biden became the nominee of the Democratic Party nominee

1121
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 7: in twenty twenty, he was actually pushed to do some things.

1122
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 7: There were some key voices that urged him to not

1123
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 7: only pick a black woman vice president, to also pick

1124
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 7: a black women as a Supreme Court justice, and to

1125
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 7: have a black agenda that's not too pander. That's not

1126
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 7: because black people should only be janitors and car salesmen.

1127
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 7: It's actually because, I believe it or not, there's some

1128
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:33,320
Speaker 7: pretty bad ass black women that want these things, demanded

1129
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 7: these things, And I'm a rolling a little clip for

1130
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 7: y'all from twenty twenty from some badass black women who

1131
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 7: made these demands.

1132
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 9: Vice President Biden, you need us, you owe us.

1133
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:47,480
Speaker 3: Black women are miracle workers.

1134
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 5: We have been saving the Democratic Party since nineteen sixty five.

1135
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:54,440
Speaker 5: Twenty twenty is no different.

1136
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 14: Your only path to victory is through Black women.

1137
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:00,200
Speaker 5: The voters that need to turn out. We know how

1138
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 5: to mobilize them. Our votes must not be taken for granted.

1139
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 1: The following commitments will begin to show black voters that

1140
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 1: you are serious about US.

1141
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 5: America needs a black woman vice president. Candidates like Amy

1142
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 5: Klobuchar will not energize US. America needs a.

1143
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 1: Justice.

1144
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 5: Remember Anita Hill.

1145
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 1: We do America needs more in a comprehensive black agenda.

1146
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 3: The rules are rigged against our communities.

1147
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 14: Whether we are talking about a black person who died

1148
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 14: of COVID nineteen because of the lack of access to

1149
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:45,160
Speaker 14: health care, or Ahmad Arbury being killed by vigilantes, or

1150
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 14: Brianna Taylor, an e and t killed by police while

1151
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 14: laying in her bed.

1152
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:56,920
Speaker 11: We deserve solutions that address systemic racism, economic injustice, and

1153
00:59:57,400 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 11: domestic terrorism.

1154
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 7: Joe Biden, you enacted drug and crime laws that harmed

1155
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 7: the black community for generations.

1156
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 5: Joe Biden, this must be addressed.

1157
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 14: You must address our oppression and most importantly, embrace our

1158
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 14: power to win the White House.

1159
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 4: Well, I mean the only thing I would add. I

1160
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 4: think I see your receipts, Frian, and we appreciate.

1161
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:24,440
Speaker 5: I know that receipts.

1162
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 3: I see that I got a sweater.

1163
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 5: Thank you.

1164
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 3: There she's talking about the show.

1165
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:31,880
Speaker 5: I know, I know, I like the shirt, but I

1166
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 5: like her nails. Press on, I'm gonna get some love it.

1167
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 4: So on this topic, it's just so blackfeof all the time.

1168
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 4: We ask what are we getting for our support? What

1169
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 4: do we get We're the most loyal committed demographic to

1170
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 4: the Democratic Party, and what do we have to show

1171
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 4: for it. Just to go a little bit further back,

1172
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 4: we also made demands on Obama that he make that appointment,

1173
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 4: that final appointment that he had to the Supreme Court

1174
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 4: a black woman. He of course made a different choice.

1175
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 4: I hope we can see how regrettable that whole thing

1176
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 4: was anyway, But to the point of us finally demanding

1177
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 4: something for the incredible, inconsistent, reliable support that black folks,

1178
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 4: men and women, but led first by women give to

1179
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 4: the Democratic Party, it is.

1180
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 3: It is.

1181
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:24,000
Speaker 4: It was a very obvious observation to have made, to say,

1182
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 4: all the way up to this point, there is still

1183
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 4: not the perspective of a black woman on the highest

1184
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 4: court in the land. Why And that's a reasonable question

1185
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 4: to be asked, and, by the way, the same question

1186
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 4: that people in other communities ask all the time when

1187
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 4: it comes to representation. And so the fact that he

1188
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 4: chose a black women, a woman or a diversity inclusion

1189
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 4: higher still doesn't believe the fact that she's the baddest,

1190
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 4: most qualified, most outstanding justice I have ever seen on

1191
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 4: the United States Supreme Court. I'm a little biased because

1192
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 4: she's from Florida and Miami, but more than anything, she's.

1193
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 3: Also highly qualified.

1194
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 4: I would just caution our community not to accept this

1195
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 4: narrative that diversity, equity, inclusion means didn't deserve it, didn't

1196
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:14,919
Speaker 4: earn it, or isn't qualified. That's what the other side

1197
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 4: wants us to believe about what it means. When you say,

1198
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 4: God damn it, a community is not represented, their voice

1199
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 4: is not at the table. That doesn't mean get the

1200
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 4: most unqualified person, person without the proper credentials.

1201
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 3: No, that's what Trump does.

1202
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 4: That's why they've had to raise rave waive so many

1203
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 4: rules to get his people appointed who are not qualified.

1204
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 4: We're simply saying we want to be represented. And by

1205
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 4: the way, the best of us exists, and droves choose

1206
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 4: one of us to represent at this particular level. So

1207
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 4: my only caution is, let's not accept their frame about

1208
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 4: what it means to have diverse workplaces, diverse leadership, diverse ownership,

1209
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 4: diverse anything. Diversity does not equal unqualified. Diversity means I

1210
01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:59,680
Speaker 4: need to see myself reflected, and you need to diversity

1211
01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 4: of perspectives in order to see the whole picture more clearly.

1212
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 4: That's what we get through diversity of qualified people.

1213
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 1: And I have a question, Andrew, because one I echo

1214
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 1: everything you just said. And I'm thrilled always to see

1215
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 1: the machetes make their appearance on Native Land pod. That

1216
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 1: was from an OpEd that we did for the Washington

1217
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 1: Post in twenty twenty, and they asked us to do

1218
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:26,480
Speaker 1: a video component. So thrilling to see the women most

1219
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 1: mostly those women are machetes anyway, So shout out to

1220
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 1: my sisters. But Andrew, when you're talking about like coming

1221
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 1: after US diversity, equity and inclusion, you were talking about

1222
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 1: on the call that there's this new piece of legs,

1223
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 1: like essentially the Trump administration is coming after us and

1224
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 1: basically trying to requalify who's the domestic terrorist is so

1225
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:53,800
Speaker 1: much trying to keep up with the news every time

1226
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 1: it's a Trump administration. I always say, it's like trying

1227
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 1: to catch comfetti. I cannot keep up. So I had

1228
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 1: no idea what you were talking about, but you seem

1229
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:04,240
Speaker 1: passionate about it, and you seem like this is something

1230
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 1: that has not gotten a lot of coverage.

1231
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 3: It's true.

1232
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'm a little The way you explained it

1233
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 1: made me nervous, So I want to hear more.

1234
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:14,400
Speaker 4: Well, I'll just say and and and I don't want

1235
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 4: to take up too much of our time. But I

1236
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 4: just want our audience to really be aware that with

1237
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:22,120
Speaker 4: all the stuff going on, and there's plenty of it

1238
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:25,240
Speaker 4: for us to stop up, we don't need to miss

1239
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 4: the fact that Donald Trump just this past week UH

1240
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:34,960
Speaker 4: issued a presidential memorandum. It's known as the National Security

1241
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 4: Presidential Memorandum, which shorthand is the n s p M seven,

1242
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:47,320
Speaker 4: the National Security Presidential Memorandum seven that came from Donald Trump.

1243
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:51,520
Speaker 4: Now what that memorandum do, To put it in shorthand,

1244
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 4: it declares war on progressive or liberal infrastructure in this country.

1245
01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 4: It's donors, it's organization and institutions. It's individuals and staff

1246
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 4: who lead these organizations, say, for instance, the NAACP, save

1247
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 4: for instance, Color of Change, save for instance, insert any

1248
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:17,360
Speaker 4: nonprofit that you can name, either locally or nationally that

1249
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:22,200
Speaker 4: is doing work in service consistent with our values as

1250
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 4: a democracy, but more importantly, our issues and our values

1251
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 4: as people think. Dream defenders think, I don't know the

1252
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 4: tax status of Angela of the State of the people,

1253
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 4: but if it were its own entity, Okay, so if

1254
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:40,520
Speaker 4: there were a secretly and it was its own entity,

1255
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 4: it also is something that you can bring to mind.

1256
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 4: What the President is doing through this executive order is

1257
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 4: one declaring war by basically deciding that these liberal quote

1258
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 4: liberal organizations, extremist organizations as he would categorize them, exists

1259
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 4: to foe met violence against the right. That's simply their framing.

1260
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:09,080
Speaker 4: They are targeting the left or liberal groups that they

1261
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 4: describe as liberal extremists and just determining these groups to

1262
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 4: be domestic terrorist organizations domestic terrorist organizations. What does it

1263
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:24,680
Speaker 4: do to declare them domestic terrorist organizations? It opens up

1264
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 4: a panoply of resources at the federal level that can

1265
01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 4: then be used to go after those groups. Who are

1266
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:35,000
Speaker 4: those what are those entities that it opens up? So,

1267
01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 4: first of all, let me just define the expanded definition

1268
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 4: that it's giving to extremism and domestic terrorism. It now

1269
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:54,000
Speaker 4: includes anti Americanism, anti capitalism, anti Christian support, yes, support

1270
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 4: for the overthrow of the United States government, extremism on migration,

1271
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 4: ray engender, and hostility towards those who hold traditional American

1272
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 4: views on family, religion.

1273
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 3: And morality. Oh my god, Now, how much of that

1274
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 3: is subjective? First of all?

1275
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 10: And every bit of every bit of it protected speech,

1276
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 10: every bit of it, part of protected speech of which

1277
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 10: any of us can have an opinion on creating an

1278
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 10: organization and advocacy agenda around all of that.

1279
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:31,800
Speaker 4: So this is the new definition that they are now

1280
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 4: including when they are defining these extremist radical left groups

1281
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:41,440
Speaker 4: who are now being targeted by the federal government. Stephen

1282
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 4: Miller at the White House, we all know him as

1283
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 4: a Deputy chief as Dad, but he's kind of the

1284
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:49,960
Speaker 4: man over everything is going to play point on introducing

1285
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 4: this new domestic era campaign that the administration is undertaking.

1286
01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 4: But Stephen Miller is also the same person who is

1287
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:06,160
Speaker 4: quoted as saying that it is a violent political speech

1288
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 4: to call Donald Trump wait for it, an authoritarian. So

1289
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:17,200
Speaker 4: by virtue of calling him an authoritarian now qualifies as

1290
01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:19,720
Speaker 4: again this is why we said this is all subjective,

1291
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:26,800
Speaker 4: qualifies as violent rhetoric. But I have another suggestion. This

1292
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:33,559
Speaker 4: is Stephen Miller giving his eulogy or comments at Charlie

1293
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 4: Kirk's large memorial service, and I actually would submit that

1294
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 4: this is violent political rhetoric. Take a listen and let

1295
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 4: me know what you think.

1296
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 12: We will prevail over the forces of wickedness and evil.

1297
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:55,480
Speaker 12: They cannot imagine what they have awakened. They cannot conceive

1298
01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:59,479
Speaker 12: of the army that they have arisen in all of us,

1299
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:04,720
Speaker 12: because we stand for what is good, what is virtuous,

1300
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:08,439
Speaker 12: what is noble. And to those trying to incite violence

1301
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:12,760
Speaker 12: against us, those trying to foment hatred against us, what

1302
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:13,439
Speaker 12: do you have?

1303
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:17,479
Speaker 3: You have nothing? You are nothing.

1304
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:21,720
Speaker 12: You are wickedness, you are jealousy, you are envy, you

1305
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:22,599
Speaker 12: are hatred.

1306
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 3: You are nothing.

1307
01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:28,960
Speaker 12: You can build nothing, you can produce nothing, you can

1308
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:33,519
Speaker 12: create nothing. We are the ones who build. We are

1309
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:37,040
Speaker 12: the ones who create. We are the ones who lift

1310
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 12: up humanity. You thought you could kill Charlie Kirk, You

1311
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:47,840
Speaker 12: have made him am mortal. You have immortalized Charlie Kirk,

1312
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:53,600
Speaker 12: and now millions will carry on his legacy, and we

1313
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:59,960
Speaker 12: will devote the rest of our lives to finishing the cause,

1314
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,240
Speaker 12: this for which Charlie gave his last measure of devotion.

1315
01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 12: You cannot defeat us. You cannot slow us, you cannot

1316
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:12,080
Speaker 12: stop us, you cannot deter us. We will carry Charlie

1317
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 12: and Erica in our heart every single day and fight

1318
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:19,400
Speaker 12: that much harder because of what you did to us.

1319
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:24,439
Speaker 12: You have no idea the dragon you have awakened. You

1320
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:28,800
Speaker 12: have no idea how determined we will be to save

1321
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:33,800
Speaker 12: this civilization, to save the West, to save this republic.

1322
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:39,839
Speaker 12: Because our children are strong, and our grandchildren will be strong,

1323
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:43,680
Speaker 12: and our children's children's children will be strong. And what

1324
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:44,880
Speaker 12: will you leave behind?

1325
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 3: Nothing?

1326
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 12: Nothing to our enemies. You have nothing to give, you

1327
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 12: have nothing to offer, You have nothing.

1328
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:53,760
Speaker 3: To share but bitterness.

1329
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:57,720
Speaker 12: We have beauty, we have light, we have goodness, we

1330
01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 12: have determination, we have vision, we have strength. We built

1331
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:07,080
Speaker 12: the world that we inhabit now, generation by generation, and

1332
01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 12: we will defend this world. We will defend goodness, we

1333
01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:14,760
Speaker 12: will defend light, we will defend virtue. You cannot terrify us,

1334
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:19,400
Speaker 12: you cannot frighten us, you cannot threaten us because we

1335
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:21,799
Speaker 12: are on the side of goodness.

1336
01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:23,160
Speaker 3: We are on the side of God.

1337
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:28,280
Speaker 4: So they are enlisting to as part of their assemblage

1338
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 4: of resources to go after these folks. They are assembling

1339
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:36,759
Speaker 4: the United States Attorney Attorney General who will play point

1340
01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:43,439
Speaker 4: on this, Homeland Security, the Internal Revenue Service, the IRS

1341
01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:50,160
Speaker 4: here of the government, and they are operationalizing what is

1342
01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:56,280
Speaker 4: known as the locally well actually across the country, is

1343
01:11:56,360 --> 01:12:01,519
Speaker 4: known as basically the terrorism Coordinating Body that can include

1344
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:05,240
Speaker 4: certain state officials and state offices. That includes over twenty

1345
01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:09,360
Speaker 4: two hundred employees of the Department of Justice anti terrorism units.

1346
01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:13,720
Speaker 4: It evokes at the state and the national level, all

1347
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:17,519
Speaker 4: of the coordinating groups on anti terrorism, and they are

1348
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 4: now all being charged to turn their energy not to

1349
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:25,720
Speaker 4: real threats of terrorism in the United States. They are

1350
01:12:25,760 --> 01:12:28,800
Speaker 4: all now being directed to turn their attention to these

1351
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:36,120
Speaker 4: leftist groups, extremist groups who foment violence against the rights.

1352
01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 1: Oh my god, they can start so unclear you're saying,

1353
01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:43,200
Speaker 1: they can start arresting people, they can start apps. Okay,

1354
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:45,639
Speaker 1: I'm when you were talking about this in the car earlier,

1355
01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:48,040
Speaker 1: I don't think I fully understood the scope of what

1356
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:51,200
Speaker 1: you were saying. This is actually don't why this is

1357
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:56,280
Speaker 1: not a breaking news banner across every news station and

1358
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:58,840
Speaker 1: why this is not a one above the fold in

1359
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:02,160
Speaker 1: every news paper right now. I'm embarrassed and ashamed I

1360
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:05,760
Speaker 1: did not know about n SPS seven. This is a

1361
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:10,560
Speaker 1: declaration of war on all bakun SA NLP is you

1362
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:13,000
Speaker 1: know marketing. I mean, this is this goal lead to

1363
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 1: mass This is cointel pro this is McCarthyism.

1364
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:20,200
Speaker 4: Mcarthy absolutely, And for those of us who don't believe

1365
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:22,960
Speaker 4: that it can happen. It has already happened in this

1366
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 4: country before we didn't they didn't have the moniker. The

1367
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 4: difference is is that the power of being able to

1368
01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:34,320
Speaker 4: declare these groups domestic terrorists unleashes a set of policies

1369
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:37,720
Speaker 4: that were approved Posts nine to eleven that were used

1370
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:41,519
Speaker 4: by the Bush administration, the warrantless wire tapping, some of

1371
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:46,880
Speaker 4: the other subterranean investigative tools that the government can use.

1372
01:13:47,360 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 4: It turns all of that operation on and now directs

1373
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:53,840
Speaker 4: it to these quote, enemies of the state that the

1374
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:57,680
Speaker 4: Trump administration identifies. And I'll say one other thing, and

1375
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:01,800
Speaker 4: I'll bring it to clothes, which is this entrust and

1376
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:06,639
Speaker 4: basically now obligate. The fbis over forty thousand Joint Terrorism

1377
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:12,679
Speaker 4: Task Force units to now become operational in the United States.

1378
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:20,960
Speaker 4: It admonishes the Department of Justice to begin conducting interviews, investigations,

1379
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:27,640
Speaker 4: and interrogations against employees, leaders, executive directors, presidents of these organizations,

1380
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:29,640
Speaker 4: funders of these organizations.

1381
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:30,760
Speaker 3: And by the way, some of.

1382
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:32,800
Speaker 4: These funders are big money donors, but some of these

1383
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:34,720
Speaker 4: funders are regular people like you and me who are

1384
01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 4: giving twenty dollars and twenty cents every month. They now

1385
01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:43,360
Speaker 4: get to interrogate these individuals under this auspice to root

1386
01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 4: out whether or not there is propaganda or speech within

1387
01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:53,160
Speaker 4: these organizations that has the ability to foment violence. The

1388
01:14:53,320 --> 01:14:55,120
Speaker 4: other thing that this thing is doing is it is

1389
01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:57,599
Speaker 4: not just solving a crime after a crime has happened.

1390
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:02,040
Speaker 4: It is saying that their major goal to prevent prevent

1391
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:05,200
Speaker 4: these violent actions from ever taking place.

1392
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:05,960
Speaker 3: Now what does that do?

1393
01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:10,200
Speaker 4: That means it becomes highly subjective, highly theorized by the

1394
01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:13,240
Speaker 4: government what they think your intention is, and then they

1395
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:15,240
Speaker 4: get to them basically do the work to drive you

1396
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:18,960
Speaker 4: toward that conclusion. Oh well, we just averted a potential

1397
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 4: terrorist event domester terroists event by keeping the state of

1398
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:26,720
Speaker 4: the people from protesting against the death of citizen X

1399
01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:27,280
Speaker 4: Y and Z.

1400
01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:29,880
Speaker 3: So y'all, I don't want you to think.

1401
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:32,160
Speaker 4: That this is just going to impact people who are

1402
01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:34,680
Speaker 4: the big known names, who are the faces in which

1403
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:38,080
Speaker 4: we recognize every day and are out. The truth is

1404
01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:41,200
Speaker 4: is that Ahmad Aubrey or Breonna Taylor, they were just

1405
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:47,200
Speaker 4: regular people before they weren't. These are folks who are

1406
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:50,519
Speaker 4: just living until they get on the wrong side of

1407
01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:53,960
Speaker 4: the opinion of the leader. So if you don't think

1408
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:56,800
Speaker 4: autocracy has already taken hold in this country, if you

1409
01:15:56,920 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 4: don't think that the instruments of government are already being

1410
01:16:00,200 --> 01:16:04,240
Speaker 4: organized and leveraged against us, and through this memorandum with

1411
01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:06,920
Speaker 4: nobody to stop him or to hold him to account,

1412
01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:11,439
Speaker 4: and a Supreme Court who is complicit this expedient move

1413
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:15,280
Speaker 4: toward authority terianism, we are about to be at this

1414
01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:18,439
Speaker 4: game by ourselves, y'all. So I want you all to

1415
01:16:18,479 --> 01:16:21,240
Speaker 4: look it up, research it, learn more. I don't have

1416
01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 4: the whole show to go through all of it, but

1417
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:26,600
Speaker 4: just know that this thing is real, and it is

1418
01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:30,559
Speaker 4: believed by the reporting entities that work has already begun,

1419
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:33,920
Speaker 4: that they have already begun on their targets to drive them.

1420
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:36,519
Speaker 5: They have, they have, And I just I wanted to

1421
01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:37,720
Speaker 5: just flag one other thing.

1422
01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:42,360
Speaker 7: There was a an executive memo with an accompanying executive order,

1423
01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:45,439
Speaker 7: and I want to be clear that the accompany executive

1424
01:16:45,560 --> 01:16:50,519
Speaker 7: order is designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. And

1425
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:54,240
Speaker 7: Antifa has always been an umbrella for anything. They don't

1426
01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:57,240
Speaker 7: like anything other, so absolutely, I just I just wanted

1427
01:16:57,280 --> 01:16:59,759
Speaker 7: to flag that that this was on the other side

1428
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:04,080
Speaker 7: of Charlie Kirk's murder. They now are trying to pin

1429
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:06,880
Speaker 7: this on all things left, and we know left is

1430
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:09,840
Speaker 7: a spectrum and all of that now is being deemed

1431
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:10,680
Speaker 7: violent to them.

1432
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:14,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, Angela, you're one thousand percent right. I mentioned I

1433
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:17,360
Speaker 4: failed to mentioned the Antifa piece of this. They declare

1434
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:20,720
Speaker 4: Antifa terrorist organization, y'all, you can google it right now.

1435
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:27,200
Speaker 4: There is no Antifa board, the Antifa president. It's is

1436
01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 4: a theory, it is a it's a theorem, it is

1437
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:34,679
Speaker 4: a belief system. It is ideological. And that's the beauty

1438
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:38,520
Speaker 4: of them identifying Antifa as the instrument because.

1439
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:41,439
Speaker 3: They can go, just like they did during the Red Scare.

1440
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:45,080
Speaker 3: They can go and determine any one of us is Antifa,

1441
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:48,760
Speaker 3: any one of us even though there doesn't even exist

1442
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:49,960
Speaker 3: an organizations such that.

1443
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:52,560
Speaker 7: Is so nice the thing that is the thing. So

1444
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:54,720
Speaker 7: I wanted to make sure that we just are very

1445
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:58,120
Speaker 7: clear about this, and please know, for those at home

1446
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:02,360
Speaker 7: who are concerned about this memo guiding them through this

1447
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:06,120
Speaker 7: type of policy, all of this is to keep us

1448
01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:12,120
Speaker 7: from focusing on the Ebstein files. I just want to

1449
01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:15,519
Speaker 7: be very clear. He is doing everything he is throwing

1450
01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:20,080
Speaker 7: the sink, the cold kitchen sink at everybody and anything

1451
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:23,760
Speaker 7: to keep us focused on not focused on the Ebstein files.

1452
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:26,559
Speaker 7: He's willing to defund the government, keep people out of work,

1453
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:30,080
Speaker 7: prevent contractors from being paid, provincial health care, make his

1454
01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:34,120
Speaker 7: friends richer, all if it keeps us away from what

1455
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:36,600
Speaker 7: we know is that the heartbeat of this administration. And

1456
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:38,759
Speaker 7: I'm sure there are, of course, there are other pieces,

1457
01:18:39,120 --> 01:18:42,200
Speaker 7: you know that he's a puppeteer for, you know, Project

1458
01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:44,479
Speaker 7: twenty twenty five and all of that, But some of

1459
01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:47,679
Speaker 7: these pieces even go beyond what is in Project twenty

1460
01:18:47,720 --> 01:18:50,880
Speaker 7: twenty five. They do, and it's a blueprint, but it's

1461
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:52,600
Speaker 7: not the whole print. And I think we got to

1462
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,559
Speaker 7: be clear about what it is, the reason, the pace

1463
01:18:56,160 --> 01:18:58,479
Speaker 7: and what and how inflammatory they're being right now.

1464
01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:01,519
Speaker 5: Even the piece around the military the other day, you know,

1465
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:02,519
Speaker 5: like all.

1466
01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:07,080
Speaker 1: Of that, I think what you're referencing, Angela, is this

1467
01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:10,560
Speaker 1: quote unquote pep rally, this g I Joe nonsense that

1468
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:15,200
Speaker 1: the Secretary of War formerly Secretary of Defense Pete Hexseth

1469
01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:17,960
Speaker 1: hosted this week, Always a bad idea to gather our

1470
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 1: generals from all across the country and put them in

1471
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:22,800
Speaker 1: one place. But that happened this week so much ridiculousness.

1472
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:25,439
Speaker 1: We didn't have time to get to it. But I

1473
01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:28,800
Speaker 1: have to say I think Epstein files are not all

1474
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 1: these things would have still been happening. I think it

1475
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:33,679
Speaker 1: was always a play just love the zone with chaos

1476
01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:37,680
Speaker 1: and institute this authoritarian regime. And how frightening. I just

1477
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:41,000
Speaker 1: want to say thank you Andrew for raising this. I

1478
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:44,560
Speaker 1: would like to revisit this discussion if we can in

1479
01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:47,080
Speaker 1: the coming months, because I'm sure we'll start to see

1480
01:19:47,520 --> 01:19:52,280
Speaker 1: the victims of this incredibly draconian policy. And if this

1481
01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:54,479
Speaker 1: were happening in any other country, the way we will

1482
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:56,960
Speaker 1: be covering it would be very different. So the fact

1483
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:59,400
Speaker 1: that this is happening in America, I can't stress enough.

1484
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:01,160
Speaker 5: Please get the f.

1485
01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:06,760
Speaker 1: Off your phones, stop scrolling, stop doing nothing like the

1486
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:10,160
Speaker 1: red line has been crossed. It is a fire right now.

1487
01:20:10,439 --> 01:20:12,439
Speaker 1: I can't tell you all what to do, but I

1488
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:15,120
Speaker 1: at least want you to be aware. Closing your eyes

1489
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:17,639
Speaker 1: and checking out doesn't mean that these things aren't happening.

1490
01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:18,639
Speaker 1: So this is frightening.

1491
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:21,519
Speaker 4: Tiff to your point, your last point there, and I

1492
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:24,200
Speaker 4: know we're moving on. It is that we all think

1493
01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:26,320
Speaker 4: that there's one day, like you turn on a light switch,

1494
01:20:26,439 --> 01:20:30,000
Speaker 4: it's dark, and then it's light. That's how it's supposed

1495
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:33,320
Speaker 4: to feel when we become what Trump is making us

1496
01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:37,439
Speaker 4: to be. The truth is is that it's already here.

1497
01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:38,320
Speaker 3: The people in.

1498
01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:41,439
Speaker 4: China, they go to restaurants, they go to movies, they

1499
01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:44,280
Speaker 4: get on their phones, and they get to commune with

1500
01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 4: each other. But the truth is is that that we

1501
01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:51,479
Speaker 4: can still do all those things, except what about when

1502
01:20:51,479 --> 01:20:54,320
Speaker 4: you decide that you disagree with the with the government.

1503
01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:56,400
Speaker 4: What happens when you decide that you want to know

1504
01:20:56,720 --> 01:20:59,360
Speaker 4: why you're being arrested. What happens when you decide to

1505
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:01,799
Speaker 4: speak up against them coming for you and your country?

1506
01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:05,320
Speaker 4: Then you start to see the consequences of living in

1507
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:11,080
Speaker 4: an authoritarian regime. I know the topics were heavy and

1508
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:14,120
Speaker 4: somewhat light at different points in the show. But on

1509
01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:16,400
Speaker 4: the other side of this break, you stay tuned, you

1510
01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:18,000
Speaker 4: hear our CTA's.

1511
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:29,719
Speaker 1: All right, we are way over time, so let's quickly

1512
01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:31,120
Speaker 1: get to our CTAs.

1513
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:33,360
Speaker 5: Angela.

1514
01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:38,080
Speaker 7: You want to go first, okay? So for CTAs TIF,

1515
01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:40,040
Speaker 7: I need a second. I don't know, I'll think it's

1516
01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:40,400
Speaker 7: something quick.

1517
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:44,160
Speaker 1: Over time we way over times. I'm gonna be really quick,

1518
01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:49,040
Speaker 1: I'll go. My CTA is there's an incredible organization called

1519
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:53,320
Speaker 1: Prison Journalism, and it is a program that teaches the

1520
01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:57,439
Speaker 1: incarcerated how to be journalists, and so they write really

1521
01:21:57,680 --> 01:22:02,439
Speaker 1: amazing stories about their experience being imprisoned. Some of the

1522
01:22:02,479 --> 01:22:05,760
Speaker 1: stories are things like to avoid deportation, people want to

1523
01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:09,120
Speaker 1: stay longer at my prison. Another one is air conditioning

1524
01:22:09,240 --> 01:22:12,839
Speaker 1: is coming to Texas prisons, but not fast enough. Another

1525
01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:15,840
Speaker 1: is what my mornings are like in prison. I read

1526
01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:20,799
Speaker 1: this content because I can't take the influx of atrocities happening,

1527
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:23,439
Speaker 1: and so I just want the men and women who

1528
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:26,160
Speaker 1: are incarcerated to know you are not forgotten about. I

1529
01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:29,519
Speaker 1: read your stories. I encourage other people. You can go

1530
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:31,679
Speaker 1: to prison Journalism dot com, I think is the website.

1531
01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:33,719
Speaker 1: They also have an Instagram handle. I have some friends

1532
01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 1: who are on the board and I was reading stories

1533
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:37,200
Speaker 1: this week and thought, oh, I should talk about this

1534
01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:40,400
Speaker 1: on Native Land. So that's my CTA. If you have

1535
01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:43,000
Speaker 1: family in prison, if you know anybody, please let them

1536
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:45,320
Speaker 1: know that I said it. And if you happen to

1537
01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:48,519
Speaker 1: have access to our YouTube and watch NLP, just know

1538
01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:50,680
Speaker 1: that you are not forgotten about. I think about our

1539
01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:54,519
Speaker 1: brethren and sisters behind bars every day, especially since Angela

1540
01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:58,519
Speaker 1: recommended that I read Asada, which I'm still obsessed with.

1541
01:22:59,160 --> 01:22:59,960
Speaker 1: So think about that for you.

1542
01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:04,679
Speaker 5: Andrew, absolutely, rest in peace is a good one.

1543
01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:10,560
Speaker 4: And power I will I will simply ask and admonish you.

1544
01:23:11,240 --> 01:23:16,160
Speaker 4: Please please please go and read or google just in

1545
01:23:16,520 --> 01:23:24,120
Speaker 4: as a Nathan s p M seven n sp M seven,

1546
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:28,519
Speaker 4: look it up. We cannot be caught unawares. We need

1547
01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:32,200
Speaker 4: to know what's coming down, and especially because we are

1548
01:23:32,200 --> 01:23:34,320
Speaker 4: at the center of its its target, and its impact,

1549
01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:36,280
Speaker 4: we gotta know Google it.

1550
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:38,760
Speaker 5: Okay, I guess it's my turn.

1551
01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 7: I think the only thing that I would challenge our

1552
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:50,080
Speaker 7: audience within this moment is during our live show, I

1553
01:23:50,240 --> 01:23:53,519
Speaker 7: ask folks to really contemplate why they are made for

1554
01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:55,559
Speaker 7: this moment. And I think it's something that we need

1555
01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:58,800
Speaker 7: to be asking ourselves every day. To Andrew's point, being

1556
01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:01,200
Speaker 7: caught unaware, to tips point feeling like you're trying to

1557
01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:05,360
Speaker 7: catch confetti, you have to constantly ask yourself what gifts,

1558
01:24:05,479 --> 01:24:08,400
Speaker 7: what talents, what tools do you have? What time do

1559
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:10,519
Speaker 7: you have to really try to meet this moment that

1560
01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:13,200
Speaker 7: we're in it's just not one for us to rest

1561
01:24:13,280 --> 01:24:15,360
Speaker 7: on our laurels, and it doesn't mean that folks can't

1562
01:24:15,360 --> 01:24:17,400
Speaker 7: take a break. But I do think that this is

1563
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:20,000
Speaker 7: a moment for mass action and I'm hoping that everybody

1564
01:24:20,040 --> 01:24:22,559
Speaker 7: will join us in that, And you can start by

1565
01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:27,120

1566
