<v Speaker 1>One years old? I'm feeling lessed and holly favored man. Um.

<v Speaker 1>Another year around the sun, man, you know I'm here, Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>another year around this And I love that in your

0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:38.160
<v Speaker 1>birthday post you said that you love you And that's

0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:41.879
<v Speaker 1>what it's all about right now, is loving ourselves. You know.

0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 1>When when I was at the Billboard Music Awards, Mary

0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 1>had a powerful speech, so you know, of course there's

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>much to be said about what happened to me. Yes,

0:00:55.040 --> 0:01:00.760
<v Speaker 1>she was celebrated. Did he give you what? We talk

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 1>about that? Before we talk about that? Um. Mary was

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:09.960
<v Speaker 1>speaking and and I was gonna say that Mary and

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Janet Jackson in the same place blew my mind. I

0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 1>mean I was totally starstruck. But anyway, so Mary was

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.640
<v Speaker 1>saying that, you know, she finally found her true love,

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 1>and she said, my true love is me. She said.

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:28.319
<v Speaker 1>People ask, you know, who's managing Mary now? And she

0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 1>was like, you know, I'm managing Mary, you know, and

0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:35.399
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was just such a powerful message, you

0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 1>know that just like we've had other trends, you know,

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 1>now there's the trend of people trying to take better

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>care of their mental health because you know, of course

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>that's not something that we did in the past. It

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:51.080
<v Speaker 1>was looked at as a stigma to go to the

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, a therapist and all of that. But there's

0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 1>a trend that has happened where people are, you know,

0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>starting to take care of themselves and think more about

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>their mental well being. And I think the new trend

0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:06.160
<v Speaker 1>that I would love for us to be on is

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:10.600
<v Speaker 1>just this idea of loving ourselves and building ourselves up.

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 1>And you know, because this world is like trying to

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:17.920
<v Speaker 1>tear every single thing around us down, and you know,

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 1>I think we have to be encouraging ourselves and our

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 1>children to love yourself, as my auntie would say, love yourself.

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 1>So happy birthday to you. You look young, but you old. Listen, man,

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>You're only as old as you feel. Man. I'm seasoned.

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm a seasoned young vetman. So and I'm feeling good, man,

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:44.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm feeling real good and God bless man. So that's

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:51.920
<v Speaker 1>back to your Billboard Awards. Crazy, you had a beautiful honor. Crazy.

0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:55.000

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 1>to that. Thank you. It was really a heart like

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 1>a touching moment for me. Um. You know backstage, I

0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 1>cried hard. I almost cried on the stage and Tarak,

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>my son, he says, um, oh yeah, Mom, I could

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 1>I saw him in your face and you were gonna cry.

0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, he knows me. I was like holding back

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 1>to it because that good old makeup that I had

0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 1>from my home girls that got me together in twenty

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 1>four hour. It was less than twenty four hours. They

0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 1>got me together in Vegas, shout out to my girl, breathe,

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:05.480
<v Speaker 1>and um, you know I I wanted to really like

0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.920
<v Speaker 1>in that moment, I was like wow, like not tears

0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 1>of sadness, but tears of like pride. I think I

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:17.360
<v Speaker 1>was also proud that he was able to do it,

0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:19.680
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, Like like the fact that

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Puff was able to use the Billboard Awards and just

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:28.560
<v Speaker 1>basically go off script and give me a Revolt Award,

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 1>which is his own network, during the show in front

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:38.240
<v Speaker 1>of millions of international viewers. It just was it was

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 1>like so powerful, and like you said, I was in

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco speaking to a group of black women, which

0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.360
<v Speaker 1>was also super powerful, and I got a call from

0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:50.760
<v Speaker 1>him saying I need you to be in Vegas. And

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 1>the thing is, it wasn't like I could just get there,

0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:57.920
<v Speaker 1>you know the next day. You had to get tested

0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:01.840
<v Speaker 1>COVID tested within a certain amount of time, and in

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.000
<v Speaker 1>order for me to get that test, I had to

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:09.440
<v Speaker 1>actually leave San Francisco immediately, get on the flight go

0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 1>to Vegas. I mean, it was just it was a

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:16.000
<v Speaker 1>lot and those kinds of experience. And then oh and

0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have anything in my suitcase to wear, so

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:23.279
<v Speaker 1>all of that stuff I had to figure out. But

0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 1>those types of experiences are the ones you never forget.

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:31.159
<v Speaker 1>And I'm so grateful to my brother Puff for one

0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:34.240
<v Speaker 1>being a partner in a fight, but also for using

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.840
<v Speaker 1>such a big platform to give me my flowers. It's

0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 1>just something I'll never ever ever forget. It's a beautiful moment.

0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.719
<v Speaker 1>And it's just so crazy, Mice, because it's like, it's

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:51.680

0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 1>I received this powerful award, and yet hanging over our

0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:03.039
<v Speaker 1>heads is the darkness of our people being massacreed in Buffalo,

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:52.280
<v Speaker 1>New York. H oh going, you know, and it's just

0:06:52.440 --> 0:07:01.960

0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:06.080
<v Speaker 1>to the point where in trying to celebrate the award

0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:11.560

<v Speaker 1>the right things to say at a time when people

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:22.680
<v Speaker 1>are so hurt and broken. It is really really I

0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:25.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know, like I don't know, Mice, I just don't

0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:28.360

0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:38.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, these ten people, and then today you wake

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:43.120
<v Speaker 1>up and they killed a little girl in the rox

0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.800
<v Speaker 1>shout out and stommaking, and and it's like, you know,

0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 1>and I just put a post up, like at what

0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:52.600
<v Speaker 1>point do we wake up? Man? Like you see, we

0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:56.120
<v Speaker 1>realize that white supremacy wants us dead, so they you know,

0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.440
<v Speaker 1>you have white supremacists that come in our neighborhoods, it's

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:02.120
<v Speaker 1>killing us. We got pull least that that dress up.

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:05.480
<v Speaker 1>We got white supremacists dressed up as police that's trying

0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:08.080
<v Speaker 1>to kill us. And then we in our own communities

0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 1>taking out our own soldiers and our own babies. Like

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:14.760
<v Speaker 1>this is overwhelming, man, It's over woman. And you know what,

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.640
<v Speaker 1>I realized that hurt people, hurt people. You know, then

0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:22.320
<v Speaker 1>you've got people attacking everybody because they confused, they don't

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 1>know what to do. And it's just like we just

0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:30.720
<v Speaker 1>we just we really lead a moment to really just

0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.520
<v Speaker 1>just just think and take it all in man, because

0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I I can't process it, Like I don't have the problem.

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Just last week I had to go a kid was

0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:42.960
<v Speaker 1>shot in my neighborhood, you know. And I had to

0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.120
<v Speaker 1>go in front of the store that I go to,

0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:47.920
<v Speaker 1>that me and my kids go to on a daily

0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. So there and and and

0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:59.800
<v Speaker 1>there's actual video, the video that I'm trying to put

0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:03.200

0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.680
<v Speaker 1>the right words to say. I don't know what to do,

0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 1>but I know we have to do something. I know

0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:23.760
<v Speaker 1>that we really have to be strategic and intentional about

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.240
<v Speaker 1>doing something to try to stop to believe it begin

0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:31.240

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:44.960

<v Speaker 1>been at the at the office that day and just

0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:00.480
<v Speaker 1>needed to run across the street to the store. You

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.080
<v Speaker 1>just don't know. And I know you probably are thinking

0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:06.800
<v Speaker 1>about all the scenarios of one of the folks who died,

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:09.680
<v Speaker 1>but also how you could have been one of them,

0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:12.720
<v Speaker 1>your staff members. And I just want to say to

0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:16.280
<v Speaker 1>you that my heart like is so broken and I'm

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.480
<v Speaker 1>just I don't know the right words to say to

0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.800
<v Speaker 1>you and the community there, but just know that you

0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:27.680
<v Speaker 1>have love and support from people around the nation so well,

0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:31.559
<v Speaker 1>certainly appreciate that, UM, as you guys can imagine. UM,

0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:34.680
<v Speaker 1>it's a mixed bag of emotions right now. We went

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.680
<v Speaker 1>through you know, I know me personally, just went through

0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:43.479
<v Speaker 1>an entire range of emotions, you know, shock, um anger, frustration,

0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, questioning how this happened in our community. We

0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.080
<v Speaker 1>see this stuff happening all the time right across the country,

0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.080
<v Speaker 1>but you never think, you know, you never think that

0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:56.880
<v Speaker 1>it had happened in your community, in your backyard. And

0:11:56.920 --> 0:12:00.520
<v Speaker 1>the fact that again that it happened right outside of office.

0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.040
<v Speaker 1>I have an office space right next door to where

0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:06.440
<v Speaker 1>this where this incident happened, and like you said, I

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.520
<v Speaker 1>could have been there. I usually work on Saturdays. You know,

0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.240
<v Speaker 1>my people from my team were in the office at

0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.400
<v Speaker 1>the time when it happened. You know, I had one

0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:16.440
<v Speaker 1>of one one of my guys who was who was there.

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.719
<v Speaker 1>You know, I was talking to him throughout the day

0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.360
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday, and he told me he was, like one

0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.360
<v Speaker 1>of the guys who was in the office. There's a

0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:26.440
<v Speaker 1>corner store, like right across the street from where this

0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.960
<v Speaker 1>incident happened. One of the young men who was there,

0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:31.840
<v Speaker 1>he went across the street to that store. Um, just

0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.480
<v Speaker 1>to grab something to drink, and as he's coming out,

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:36.959
<v Speaker 1>he's hearing the gunshots and he's seeing bodies laying on

0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:40.120
<v Speaker 1>the ground, you know. So and again that could have

0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:42.599
<v Speaker 1>been me. I was actually supposed to be going to

0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:44.520
<v Speaker 1>my office on that Saturday because I had to drop

0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:47.880
<v Speaker 1>offs from stuff there. But you know, unfortunately, you know,

0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:49.440
<v Speaker 1>my wife was sick at the time and I was

0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:52.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, tending to her, so that's why I wasn't there,

0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.880
<v Speaker 1>you know. But again that me, I really I literally

0:12:56.040 --> 0:13:01.240
<v Speaker 1>arrived moments after the situation happened. Wow. Know when when

0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:05.800
<v Speaker 1>you look at it on the news, you know, we

0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:09.440
<v Speaker 1>we we unfortunately this is we have to deal with

0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:12.240
<v Speaker 1>this work all the time. One of my closest friends

0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 1>is from Buffalo, and he was telling me how, you know,

0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:17.920
<v Speaker 1>he this is the regular supermarket most of the people

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.360
<v Speaker 1>in that area to go to, and it's frequently by

0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.440
<v Speaker 1>mainly black people. So I just want to get a

0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of feel like, what are people feeling? Is it

0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:31.600
<v Speaker 1>really dreary time out there? Power the people responded, you know,

0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:37.600
<v Speaker 1>again it's it's still uh large, the level of shock

0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:41.320
<v Speaker 1>that's like that's taking place right now, because again, you

0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:43.880
<v Speaker 1>don't think that this is going to happen in your community.

0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:46.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, as you stated, you know, the neighborhood that

0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:50.880
<v Speaker 1>this this supermarket is in might of the people that

0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:54.080
<v Speaker 1>live there are black people, right, So this is uh,

0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:57.240
<v Speaker 1>this is a large uh. And we have a huge

0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.400
<v Speaker 1>black population here in the city of Buffalo Train to

0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:02.600
<v Speaker 1>what a lot of people might think or feel about

0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:05.720
<v Speaker 1>the city. We have a huge concentration of people of

0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 1>color here in the city is actually a majority minority city,

0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:13.160
<v Speaker 1>you know. So, um, but for that particular area, you know,

0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.800
<v Speaker 1>and for that to happen, First of all, that supermarket

0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.719
<v Speaker 1>is the only one in the entire neighborhood. If that

0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:22.800
<v Speaker 1>supermarket wasn't there, that that neighborhood would be a food desert.

0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:26.600
<v Speaker 1>So people rely on that supermarket, you know, going there

0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.840
<v Speaker 1>to get fresh fruits and vegetables, you know, to being

0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:31.760
<v Speaker 1>able to do those things. If not, they will be

0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.480
<v Speaker 1>having to get their their their their groceries from the

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:38.360
<v Speaker 1>corner store. Right. So that's why it is so important

0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:40.720
<v Speaker 1>that we you know, that that that that supermarket was

0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:44.720
<v Speaker 1>over there, you know, so and you know, and there

0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 1>was a political like struggle to get that supermarket open,

0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:53.200
<v Speaker 1>right I think absolutely. Yeah, So people really fought to

0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:56.200
<v Speaker 1>make sure that the supermarket was in the community. Yeah,

0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:57.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, and and that, and I think you know,

0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 1>and this the supermarket open back like two thousand to

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.520
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and three, And you gotta think during that time,

0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:07.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, on Buffalo, you know, we weren't as as

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:10.360
<v Speaker 1>much of a progressive city as we are now, right,

0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:13.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, they were still I mean, it's it's still

0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:17.160
<v Speaker 1>very much so heavily segregated city. Um you know, I'm

0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:19.640
<v Speaker 1>one of the most segregated cities in the country actually,

0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:23.000
<v Speaker 1>you know so. Um So at that time though, you know,

0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:25.920
<v Speaker 1>you had that the power structure in place, wanting to

0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:29.000
<v Speaker 1>keep things, wanting to keep that status quo in place,

0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:31.520
<v Speaker 1>so they wanted to keep the black people down and

0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, and and other people elevated, you know. So

0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:36.880
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, there was there was a collective effort at

0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:39.480
<v Speaker 1>the time with the without current mayor, who was a

0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.120
<v Speaker 1>city councilman in that district at the time, to to

0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.480
<v Speaker 1>bring that grocery store in the area. You know. So

0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.680
<v Speaker 1>that's why I was really important because again when I

0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:51.360
<v Speaker 1>tell you guys, it's literally like no supermarkets within a

0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:55.120
<v Speaker 1>several mile radius. I mean, it's actually the only supermarket

0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:57.520
<v Speaker 1>on the East side of Buffalo, the only one, and

0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:00.360
<v Speaker 1>if you know anything about Buffalo, the east side is

0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:05.520
<v Speaker 1>predominantly African American unpopulated, you know. So and it's like

0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.960
<v Speaker 1>you gotta wonder, you know, maybe I'm being a conspiracy

0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:13.200
<v Speaker 1>theorist or whatever they however they say it, but you

0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:21.040
<v Speaker 1>gotta wonder whether or not he as the shooter really targeted,

0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.600
<v Speaker 1>not just like oh yeah, I think I'm gonna go

0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:27.160
<v Speaker 1>to this store, but like whether he knew some of

0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:30.040
<v Speaker 1>what you're talking about, and then who else did he

0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:35.760
<v Speaker 1>communicate with that potentially helped him choose where to go,

0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm I'm I'm unwilling to let these be stand

0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:44.280
<v Speaker 1>off issues, stand alone issues where oh, just some crazy

0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:47.320
<v Speaker 1>person went out and did I believe it is an

0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:52.080
<v Speaker 1>attack that is coordinated happening, you know, somewhere, and it's

0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:56.680
<v Speaker 1>it's being organized because it's just too it's too much

0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:59.520
<v Speaker 1>of a sweet spot for him to live three hours

0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:03.760
<v Speaker 1>away and just happened to come to Buffalo and choose

0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:07.240
<v Speaker 1>this particular store to make it. It's not a it's

0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:10.639
<v Speaker 1>not a conspiracy theory whatsoever, he actually stated, you know.

0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:12.920
<v Speaker 1>And and and there are being reports that have come out

0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:16.280
<v Speaker 1>where he actually stated that he studied the census map

0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:20.560
<v Speaker 1>in that area. He studied the sense didn't read the manifesto.

0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:24.920
<v Speaker 1>So okay, this is this is a well coordinated attack

0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:31.000
<v Speaker 1>that took place at Wow. I really want to know what.

0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:35.399
<v Speaker 1>I really want to know what level of poison a

0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:39.240
<v Speaker 1>mind has to be fed to to have this level

0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:42.480
<v Speaker 1>of coordination, to do this level of evil, Like to

0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:46.200
<v Speaker 1>really coordinate this level of evil? How does the mind?

0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:50.080
<v Speaker 1>What do they feed into these kids? These are kids

0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:52.560
<v Speaker 1>like literally eighteen, Like, what do they feed into these

0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:56.120
<v Speaker 1>kids that they literally have poisoned them to the point

0:17:56.119 --> 0:18:00.720
<v Speaker 1>where they commit atrocities. Listen, this is not this is

0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:03.639
<v Speaker 1>not something that um like you said it was a

0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:06.400
<v Speaker 1>one off. This is this isn't something that you know,

0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:09.680
<v Speaker 1>you had this one person who just was maybe saw

0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:13.280
<v Speaker 1>some stuff online and just was indoctrinated. No, this stuff

0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:16.080
<v Speaker 1>was taught at home. Man, This stuff was thought at

0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:18.600
<v Speaker 1>home and and it was taught about and it was

0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:22.560
<v Speaker 1>in his theory that I did read. The white replacement

0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:26.920
<v Speaker 1>theory is being taught on Fox News by Tucker Carlson

0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:31.920
<v Speaker 1>on a regular basis. The Great Replacement, the replacement of

0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:35.280
<v Speaker 1>legacy American strategy is to change the demographics of the country,

0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:37.800
<v Speaker 1>and you disempower the people who live here, you take

0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:40.800
<v Speaker 1>their votes away. Democratic Party is trying to replace the

0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:47.719
<v Speaker 1>current electorate. How precisely is diversity our strength? Since you've

0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:50.399
<v Speaker 1>made this our new national motto, please be specific as

0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:52.840
<v Speaker 1>you explain it. Can you think, for example, of other

0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:56.520
<v Speaker 1>institutions such as I don't know, marriage or military units

0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:59.080
<v Speaker 1>in which the less people have in common, the more

0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:02.240
<v Speaker 1>cohesive are Do you get along better with your neighbors

0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:05.040
<v Speaker 1>or your co workers if you can't understand each other

0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:09.919
<v Speaker 1>or share no common values. So he to your point,

0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:14.239
<v Speaker 1>this is being ingrained in his mind. Yes, yes, you know.

0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:17.159
<v Speaker 1>So again this is not a one off situation. You know,

0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:20.639
<v Speaker 1>with all of the media around, Like you said, you

0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:23.800
<v Speaker 1>you just referenced Tucker Carlson. You know he had over

0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:27.240
<v Speaker 1>four hundred references of this replacement theory over the last

0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:29.600
<v Speaker 1>couple of years, you know what I mean? So between

0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:32.320
<v Speaker 1>that and this the stuff you're finding out online, and

0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:35.399
<v Speaker 1>I promise you know this stuff is self taught, and

0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:38.080
<v Speaker 1>this stuff is learned at home. These are learned behaviors,

0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:41.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, these are learned behaviors. So so this is

0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:44.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, So this is we've really got to sit

0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:47.520
<v Speaker 1>back and really think about like that, you know, like

0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:51.439
<v Speaker 1>how do how do we how what? How do you

0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:55.719
<v Speaker 1>get to a point when you get that much and doctrinator,

0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:58.560
<v Speaker 1>you have that much evil in your heart that you

0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:02.240
<v Speaker 1>wanna and flip this much pain on the community. I

0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:05.280
<v Speaker 1>had a chance that somebody told me, guys not to

0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:09.480
<v Speaker 1>watch the not to watch the full video. Right I

0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:13.720
<v Speaker 1>saw the full video and it completely broke me. It

0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:16.399
<v Speaker 1>completely broke me, you know, because these are some of

0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:19.359
<v Speaker 1>the most vulnerable people that you're talking about. You're talking

0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:23.959
<v Speaker 1>about elders in our community, seventy plus year old women,

0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:29.560
<v Speaker 1>people's grandmothers, mothers, uncle's, you know what I mean. Like

0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:33.560
<v Speaker 1>and to see, you know, the harm he inflicted. I

0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:37.560
<v Speaker 1>mean I literally when I watched that video that night,

0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:41.760
<v Speaker 1>I literally cried myself to sleep. I cried myself to sleep.

0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:44.520
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not a big emotional person like that, but

0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't unsee what I saw. It's still to this,

0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:51.680
<v Speaker 1>to this very moment, I still cannot see what I saw. So,

0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:58.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean it hurts, it doesn't you know what When

0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I hear you asked the question what level of like

0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:07.000
<v Speaker 1>coordination and what goes into your mind for you to

0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:11.160
<v Speaker 1>commit such evil. I think you forget where we just

0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:13.960
<v Speaker 1>came from last month. But and I'm saying, and I

0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:16.600
<v Speaker 1>say that because of that, because that's what I said,

0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:20.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, when I sat into went too Almina Dungeons,

0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:23.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, formerly known as castles the most But when

0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:27.159
<v Speaker 1>I sat in there and we got the history and

0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:32.639
<v Speaker 1>understood how people have been treated, killed and slaved and

0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:36.000
<v Speaker 1>and just all the things that were done, That's what

0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:39.120
<v Speaker 1>went through my mind. And like I said, I'm I'm

0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:42.360
<v Speaker 1>never going to not think that because I don't have

0:21:43.359 --> 0:21:47.040
<v Speaker 1>a soul of that has no empathy or no that

0:21:47.080 --> 0:21:50.680
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have any kind of remorse. Like my spirit cannot

0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:56.000
<v Speaker 1>even fathom the level of evil that we'll be talking about, right,

0:21:56.280 --> 0:21:59.400
<v Speaker 1>And it is normal. This is like you know, every

0:21:59.480 --> 0:22:04.480
<v Speaker 1>year to years we got man shootings, you know, kids

0:22:04.480 --> 0:22:09.439
<v Speaker 1>in schools now are supermarkets, churches, you know, And I

0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:11.560
<v Speaker 1>don't and I want to, and I really be trying

0:22:11.600 --> 0:22:14.640
<v Speaker 1>to understand. I'd be like, you know, and and how

0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:18.520
<v Speaker 1>do you people that much? How do you Because it

0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:23.200
<v Speaker 1>wasn't because he had empathy for for the white person man,

0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:27.760
<v Speaker 1>white man, white man, and that's something I don't want

0:22:27.760 --> 0:22:31.240
<v Speaker 1>people to miss that. I don't know if there's another

0:22:31.280 --> 0:22:34.640
<v Speaker 1>white man that was shot. And I know there's two

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:38.880
<v Speaker 1>white victims, right, but I don't and I know one

0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:42.080
<v Speaker 1>is a white woman who's deceased. I don't know if

0:22:42.119 --> 0:22:48.119
<v Speaker 1>the other person, white woman died too, right, But but

0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:51.480
<v Speaker 1>there's another white person who was also shot. And I'm

0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:53.720
<v Speaker 1>not sure if that person is a man or woman

0:22:53.960 --> 0:22:56.199
<v Speaker 1>and whether they have lived or not. It might have

0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:58.200
<v Speaker 1>been that that man that he said sorry too, he

0:22:58.280 --> 0:23:00.800
<v Speaker 1>probably shot him and then said sorry. I don't think so.

0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:06.040
<v Speaker 1>I think that made me completely spared. But it needs

0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:09.199
<v Speaker 1>to interview him and just and because I want to

0:23:09.200 --> 0:23:12.480
<v Speaker 1>know what his what his mind stated, How how does

0:23:12.560 --> 0:23:16.600
<v Speaker 1>he feel like? Is there some survivors guilt remorse? You know,

0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:19.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure the problem is it has to be. It

0:23:19.720 --> 0:23:21.520
<v Speaker 1>has to be because it just like when you see

0:23:21.520 --> 0:23:24.960
<v Speaker 1>that your life has been been spared the way I

0:23:25.000 --> 0:23:27.520
<v Speaker 1>mean the dude literally went up to him, pointed the

0:23:27.520 --> 0:23:29.760
<v Speaker 1>gun at him. He looked and he was like, oh sorry,

0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:31.520
<v Speaker 1>and then ran away, you know what I mean, Like

0:23:32.440 --> 0:23:35.080
<v Speaker 1>that's that's just the same because this guy was very

0:23:35.119 --> 0:23:37.920
<v Speaker 1>intentional about going and trying to inflict harm on as

0:23:37.920 --> 0:23:41.200
<v Speaker 1>many black people as he possibly could period period and

0:23:41.320 --> 0:23:45.880
<v Speaker 1>that period. And that's what I'm saying. It's important for

0:23:45.960 --> 0:23:49.800
<v Speaker 1>us to know what is the gender of the other

0:23:49.880 --> 0:23:56.359
<v Speaker 1>white person who was killed or shot injured, because what

0:23:56.520 --> 0:24:00.080
<v Speaker 1>appears to me is that he or what is a

0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:03.840
<v Speaker 1>parent to me is that when he saw a white man,

0:24:05.080 --> 0:24:10.720
<v Speaker 1>he retreated m Because there is also right, which we

0:24:10.720 --> 0:24:16.120
<v Speaker 1>we're not going to I want to be Cashadow, We're

0:24:16.160 --> 0:24:18.800
<v Speaker 1>not gonna make that point, but we're gonna point out

0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:24.479
<v Speaker 1>the fact. But because because women in general, sexism in

0:24:24.600 --> 0:24:30.000
<v Speaker 1>general is an issue that these white men had right,

0:24:30.000 --> 0:24:35.760
<v Speaker 1>so they'll they'll kill their own women men they will spare. Now.

0:24:36.160 --> 0:24:39.120
<v Speaker 1>The sad part, though, is that when we try to

0:24:39.320 --> 0:24:44.520
<v Speaker 1>organize with white women to help save even themselves, they

0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:54.560
<v Speaker 1>will still overwhelmingly support the white overwhelmingly who will kill

0:24:54.600 --> 0:24:57.920
<v Speaker 1>them with no problem, take away their right to have abortions,

0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:01.679
<v Speaker 1>won't pay them equally. All of that, and yet and

0:25:01.800 --> 0:25:05.480
<v Speaker 1>still that when it's time to vote for their white man,

0:25:06.480 --> 0:25:11.560
<v Speaker 1>they're who their their white supremacist husband, they stand with

0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:17.560
<v Speaker 1>them overwhelmingly fifty three. So white women, they're not doing

0:25:17.680 --> 0:25:20.080
<v Speaker 1>enough work. And that's why I need to know, because

0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:23.520
<v Speaker 1>when somebody gives me what I think is true, I'm

0:25:23.560 --> 0:25:26.800
<v Speaker 1>going on every platform I can to talk about the

0:25:26.840 --> 0:25:30.679
<v Speaker 1>fact that white women, y'all still keep on siding with

0:25:30.800 --> 0:25:35.080
<v Speaker 1>your husbands. Meanwhile, homeboys stood right there and looked at

0:25:35.320 --> 0:25:37.680
<v Speaker 1>a white man and said, oh, I'm so sorry, You're

0:25:37.760 --> 0:25:41.120
<v Speaker 1>not my target, and I don't care what y'all tell me.

0:25:41.480 --> 0:25:44.600
<v Speaker 1>There is no way that an eighteen year old child

0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:52.360
<v Speaker 1>study the max by himself and been has been studying

0:25:52.480 --> 0:25:56.840
<v Speaker 1>white replacement theory alone. It's not true. So that means

0:25:56.880 --> 0:26:02.480
<v Speaker 1>that he's a part of a sell it's listen, that's

0:26:02.640 --> 0:26:07.600
<v Speaker 1>very that's very accurate. Um, we know this to be true, right,

0:26:07.760 --> 0:26:10.560
<v Speaker 1>but the question is what are we doing to combat it? Right?

0:26:10.640 --> 0:26:14.639
<v Speaker 1>Because there have been multiple reports over and over again

0:26:14.680 --> 0:26:18.639
<v Speaker 1>saying how white supremacy is is the greatest threat to

0:26:18.680 --> 0:26:21.800
<v Speaker 1>domestic terrorism in this country, but yet we aren't doing

0:26:21.840 --> 0:26:23.840
<v Speaker 1>anything about it. So we want to know, you know,

0:26:23.880 --> 0:26:26.360
<v Speaker 1>what's your plan for Like, let's let's talk to the government.

0:26:26.560 --> 0:26:29.720
<v Speaker 1>What's your plan to combat this issue. What's the budget

0:26:29.720 --> 0:26:31.639
<v Speaker 1>look like, what's the staff look like. I mean, you

0:26:31.760 --> 0:26:34.119
<v Speaker 1>got all this stuff for all these anti terrorism, homeland

0:26:34.119 --> 0:26:37.320
<v Speaker 1>security stuff, you know, for you know, people outside of

0:26:37.320 --> 0:26:39.040
<v Speaker 1>the country who don't look like us. But when you

0:26:39.320 --> 0:26:42.040
<v Speaker 1>when you get on this and and and explicitly state

0:26:42.640 --> 0:26:46.080
<v Speaker 1>that you know, the greatest threat to democracy here in

0:26:46.119 --> 0:26:50.120
<v Speaker 1>this country is white supremacy and white terrorism. But you're

0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:54.679
<v Speaker 1>not doing anything about it. You're part of the problem.

0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:59.359
<v Speaker 1>Well let me but let me give y'all this is

0:26:59.400 --> 0:27:03.960
<v Speaker 1>a point. Right. So this guy had already been in

0:27:04.080 --> 0:27:09.639
<v Speaker 1>trouble I think a year ago because he um he

0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:13.439
<v Speaker 1>threatened to shoot up a school. I don't know if

0:27:13.440 --> 0:27:16.000
<v Speaker 1>it was his school or a school, but yeah, it

0:27:16.040 --> 0:27:19.479
<v Speaker 1>was his school because some students overheard him talking about it.

0:27:19.760 --> 0:27:22.320
<v Speaker 1>I think he wrote some stuff online. So he was

0:27:22.440 --> 0:27:26.800
<v Speaker 1>already arrested. They did some mental health check on him,

0:27:27.040 --> 0:27:29.439
<v Speaker 1>and they released him right and sent him back to

0:27:29.680 --> 0:27:32.960
<v Speaker 1>into the world. Now check this. Let's put a pen

0:27:33.119 --> 0:27:36.199
<v Speaker 1>right there and look at the nine year old boy

0:27:36.320 --> 0:27:40.480
<v Speaker 1>who walks across the street to a black family's house.

0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:44.080
<v Speaker 1>A white boy, a white nine year old child, walks

0:27:44.119 --> 0:27:47.320
<v Speaker 1>across the street to a black family's house looking for

0:27:47.359 --> 0:27:51.679
<v Speaker 1>their daughter, their nine year old daughter, and uses a

0:27:51.800 --> 0:27:55.840
<v Speaker 1>whit hitting their car and the door right, and this

0:27:55.960 --> 0:27:57.640
<v Speaker 1>lady has to tell him to get the hell out

0:27:57.720 --> 0:28:01.359
<v Speaker 1>of there. Then the father goes over to the white

0:28:01.400 --> 0:28:04.680
<v Speaker 1>family's house. The black father goes to the white family's house,

0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:08.160
<v Speaker 1>and the white man pulls a gun out on this

0:28:08.240 --> 0:28:12.159
<v Speaker 1>black man because his child went over to their house

0:28:12.280 --> 0:28:17.600
<v Speaker 1>threatening this black family. Police, Oh, where they're gonna move soon,

0:28:18.119 --> 0:28:21.600
<v Speaker 1>don't worry about it. So, now here's the parallel. You've

0:28:21.600 --> 0:28:24.679
<v Speaker 1>got a boy who threatens to shoot up a school.

0:28:25.400 --> 0:28:28.920
<v Speaker 1>What do they do? Send him back into society? They

0:28:28.960 --> 0:28:31.879
<v Speaker 1>do nothing. To your point, what are we going to do?

0:28:32.160 --> 0:28:35.920
<v Speaker 1>At what point does a child who even mentioned something

0:28:35.960 --> 0:28:39.640
<v Speaker 1>about shooting a school become a target that has to

0:28:39.680 --> 0:28:43.880
<v Speaker 1>be somehow another dealt with. Right, then, you've got a

0:28:44.000 --> 0:28:47.800
<v Speaker 1>kid nine years old who already he's already the eighteen

0:28:47.920 --> 0:28:51.160
<v Speaker 1>year old, he's already on his way to being the

0:28:51.240 --> 0:28:54.480
<v Speaker 1>eighteen year old. What did the police do? Nothing? So

0:28:54.760 --> 0:28:57.320
<v Speaker 1>I understand when the people of Buffalo say, what the

0:28:57.360 --> 0:29:01.720
<v Speaker 1>hell are elected officials and and Joe Biden all these people,

0:29:01.960 --> 0:29:05.200
<v Speaker 1>what are you coming here for? Because you're coming to

0:29:05.360 --> 0:29:09.400
<v Speaker 1>do the prayer digil? But the prayer vigil is not enough.

0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:12.920
<v Speaker 1>We need action on these issues. And to your point,

0:29:13.000 --> 0:29:16.680
<v Speaker 1>the resources need to be coming down into our community.

0:29:16.800 --> 0:29:21.000
<v Speaker 1>So that we can protect ourselves. That's a fact. So

0:29:21.160 --> 0:29:23.040
<v Speaker 1>one of the things that I think that's at our

0:29:23.040 --> 0:29:26.440
<v Speaker 1>advantage right now is that, you know, we have the

0:29:26.440 --> 0:29:30.000
<v Speaker 1>the attention of people in power, and people are asking

0:29:30.080 --> 0:29:32.400
<v Speaker 1>us what do what do we want? What do we need?

0:29:32.840 --> 0:29:34.560
<v Speaker 1>And okay, so we're gonna tell them. We're going to

0:29:34.600 --> 0:29:36.600
<v Speaker 1>give them a plan of action on what we want

0:29:36.640 --> 0:29:38.720
<v Speaker 1>and what we need and really, you know, you know,

0:29:38.840 --> 0:29:41.000
<v Speaker 1>hold their feet to the fire, you know, like, are

0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:43.200
<v Speaker 1>are you going to step up? Because time and time

0:29:43.240 --> 0:29:45.240
<v Speaker 1>again we've seen them happen over and over again when

0:29:45.240 --> 0:29:48.480
<v Speaker 1>these mass shootings happen, you know, their thoughts and prayers,

0:29:48.520 --> 0:29:50.880
<v Speaker 1>their visuals, but when the cameras go away, it's just

0:29:51.000 --> 0:29:53.240
<v Speaker 1>the energy just dies down and then it's just it's

0:29:53.240 --> 0:29:55.360
<v Speaker 1>just on to the next one. Right, So we need

0:29:55.440 --> 0:29:58.360
<v Speaker 1>to figure out, you know, okay, you know if if

0:29:59.120 --> 0:30:00.880
<v Speaker 1>first of all, what our plan of vaction is going

0:30:00.880 --> 0:30:03.040
<v Speaker 1>to be, and we have to be cohesive and in

0:30:03.080 --> 0:30:04.920
<v Speaker 1>our messaging, and we have to be on one of

0:30:05.000 --> 0:30:08.160
<v Speaker 1>court without messaging, and then once we do that, you know,

0:30:08.240 --> 0:30:10.280
<v Speaker 1>we hold we hold these people accountable. Like if you

0:30:10.320 --> 0:30:12.480
<v Speaker 1>if you say that you're gonna you know that you're

0:30:12.520 --> 0:30:14.719
<v Speaker 1>there to support us and then you know, and provide

0:30:14.760 --> 0:30:17.440
<v Speaker 1>us the resources. Okay, this is exactly what we need,

0:30:17.640 --> 0:30:21.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, And I think right now again, because we

0:30:21.160 --> 0:30:23.840
<v Speaker 1>have the attention of everyone, we want to make sure

0:30:23.960 --> 0:30:27.640
<v Speaker 1>that you know that we're capitalizing on that. You have

0:30:27.720 --> 0:30:31.280
<v Speaker 1>to man, it's it's it's just like I said, Man,

0:30:31.320 --> 0:30:35.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm just having lost two words, man, because everybody makes

0:30:35.360 --> 0:30:38.680
<v Speaker 1>these things political, you know, the leftist, the right, and

0:30:38.760 --> 0:30:43.960
<v Speaker 1>it's like, how do you support anything right, any organization,

0:30:44.160 --> 0:30:49.920
<v Speaker 1>any system or anything that furthest is that perpetuation? Like

0:30:49.920 --> 0:30:52.800
<v Speaker 1>when you were talking about Fox News and Tucker causin,

0:30:53.160 --> 0:30:57.240
<v Speaker 1>like it's sometimes me and Tom could watch Fox News

0:30:57.280 --> 0:31:00.920
<v Speaker 1>just to see how crazy people are literally do later

0:31:01.400 --> 0:31:05.160
<v Speaker 1>because we have to understand what the open enemy is doing.

0:31:05.160 --> 0:31:07.680
<v Speaker 1>We have to understand what they're thinking. So when you

0:31:07.840 --> 0:31:10.840
<v Speaker 1>hear what Tucker Carson says like this, and we'd be like,

0:31:10.880 --> 0:31:13.480
<v Speaker 1>you're this man is bugged out. They're not taking it

0:31:13.520 --> 0:31:16.480
<v Speaker 1>as bugged out. These young kids are taking it and

0:31:16.520 --> 0:31:19.360
<v Speaker 1>then write it down and they're living their life and

0:31:19.400 --> 0:31:22.200
<v Speaker 1>then there's somebody else programming them and then and they

0:31:22.440 --> 0:31:28.400
<v Speaker 1>really actually carrying out mass acts of destruction in massacre

0:31:28.840 --> 0:31:32.040
<v Speaker 1>against us and we have to be aware like at

0:31:32.080 --> 0:31:35.040
<v Speaker 1>this point when you you know, unfortunately, when we in

0:31:35.160 --> 0:31:37.640
<v Speaker 1>our communities before, we used to look at see a

0:31:37.640 --> 0:31:39.040
<v Speaker 1>white boy, what are you doing the hood? Like we

0:31:39.120 --> 0:31:43.800
<v Speaker 1>gotta be real scared now. But the white boy walking

0:31:43.800 --> 0:31:46.600
<v Speaker 1>into the hood, you gotta be you know, you it

0:31:46.680 --> 0:31:49.880
<v Speaker 1>gotta it gotta be a whole different reaction. That's how

0:31:49.880 --> 0:31:51.600
<v Speaker 1>it was the other day. That's how it was the

0:31:51.640 --> 0:31:54.040
<v Speaker 1>other day when I was there on Saturday and on Sunday,

0:31:54.440 --> 0:31:57.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, at the scene of this situation that happened,

0:31:57.560 --> 0:32:00.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, to be honest with you, I'm I'm side

0:32:00.600 --> 0:32:02.520
<v Speaker 1>and all the white people that's there. Because it's a

0:32:02.560 --> 0:32:06.720
<v Speaker 1>copy copy. These copycat murders, they happen all the time.

0:32:06.760 --> 0:32:09.000
<v Speaker 1>They don't just happen one, you know, it don't do

0:32:09.160 --> 0:32:12.160
<v Speaker 1>it's usually another one directly, I think, because somebody wants

0:32:12.200 --> 0:32:15.280
<v Speaker 1>to copy it. But like we are in dangerous species.

0:32:15.640 --> 0:32:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Like this ship is really crazy to me, Like I

0:32:17.720 --> 0:32:20.880
<v Speaker 1>really every time things and it gets closer and closer,

0:32:20.920 --> 0:32:24.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, you know. Unfortunately, I was locked up in Orleans,

0:32:24.480 --> 0:32:26.320
<v Speaker 1>which is by Buffalo, so I got a lot of

0:32:26.320 --> 0:32:28.719
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo friends and a lot of people I know from

0:32:28.760 --> 0:32:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo so you know a lot of them. I've seen

0:32:31.760 --> 0:32:33.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of my friends on the internet. You know,

0:32:33.880 --> 0:32:36.840
<v Speaker 1>my my son's mother's sister lives out there in Buffalo.

0:32:37.360 --> 0:32:40.120
<v Speaker 1>So you know, it's a concern. And it's just like wow,

0:32:40.560 --> 0:32:42.560
<v Speaker 1>like it's getting it's getting closer and close. As soon

0:32:42.600 --> 0:32:44.640
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna pull up in the hood in the Bronx

0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:47.360
<v Speaker 1>with the same thing, because this is that population is

0:32:48.200 --> 0:32:52.040
<v Speaker 1>but Buffalo. To what I'm hearing is this community in

0:32:52.080 --> 0:32:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo is the hood in the Bronx, right, It's just

0:32:55.240 --> 0:32:58.479
<v Speaker 1>the hood. It's the same thing. So that's another problem.

0:32:58.480 --> 0:33:02.160
<v Speaker 1>It's like we're we we get disconnected from stuff like, oh,

0:33:02.240 --> 0:33:05.360
<v Speaker 1>that happened over there, what stops them from doing it

0:33:05.560 --> 0:33:09.600
<v Speaker 1>right here? Yeah, in the city in Alabama. It could

0:33:09.600 --> 0:33:12.680
<v Speaker 1>be anywhere, um that these people pop up. And so

0:33:13.040 --> 0:33:16.760
<v Speaker 1>I think what you said, Jamal is so important that

0:33:17.080 --> 0:33:20.080
<v Speaker 1>we have to use all of these moments as an

0:33:20.120 --> 0:33:24.000
<v Speaker 1>opportunity not just to sing and cry about it, which

0:33:24.120 --> 0:33:28.400
<v Speaker 1>we deserve, that we deserve to sit with and and

0:33:28.520 --> 0:33:32.560
<v Speaker 1>feel right like even today, it's it's it's hard for

0:33:32.640 --> 0:33:35.680
<v Speaker 1>us to find the right words because to my son's point,

0:33:36.080 --> 0:33:38.840
<v Speaker 1>we never need to get to a place where this

0:33:38.960 --> 0:33:44.280
<v Speaker 1>is just normal to us. It always needs to to penetrate, right, Um,

0:33:44.320 --> 0:33:47.240
<v Speaker 1>But we have to be more strategic in terms of

0:33:47.360 --> 0:33:52.400
<v Speaker 1>how we approach all these people with resources who are

0:33:52.400 --> 0:33:55.800
<v Speaker 1>coming into the community. And I think that's what's important.

0:33:55.840 --> 0:33:58.920
<v Speaker 1>It's like, what do the people need? Uh? Past the

0:33:59.000 --> 0:34:03.840
<v Speaker 1>mic um of Live Free, an organization that also has UH.

0:34:03.880 --> 0:34:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I think they have an office there in Buffalo as well, UH,

0:34:07.480 --> 0:34:10.960
<v Speaker 1>and they do a lot of mental health work. Um.

0:34:11.000 --> 0:34:15.200
<v Speaker 1>They are sending in mental health specialists for the next

0:34:15.239 --> 0:34:17.960
<v Speaker 1>couple of months to try to help people in the

0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:21.440
<v Speaker 1>community process what has happened. I need to connect the

0:34:21.440 --> 0:34:23.880
<v Speaker 1>two of you. If you don't know pastor Mike Jamil,

0:34:24.600 --> 0:34:26.680
<v Speaker 1>I would love to connect with them. Yeah. So things

0:34:26.760 --> 0:34:31.960
<v Speaker 1>like that, like real deliberate action UH needs to happen.

0:34:32.200 --> 0:34:35.240
<v Speaker 1>And whatever it is that we can do to be supported.

0:34:35.280 --> 0:34:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I know you did something yesterday where folks showed up,

0:34:39.239 --> 0:34:42.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, and whatever we can do, whatever resources we

0:34:42.960 --> 0:34:45.279
<v Speaker 1>can give, we want to be supportive. We want to

0:34:45.320 --> 0:34:47.880
<v Speaker 1>be there, um, you know, in any way that we

0:34:47.920 --> 0:34:52.560
<v Speaker 1>can to support you and the entire community of Buffalo. No.

0:34:52.800 --> 0:34:56.120
<v Speaker 1>And we've really appreciate that because one one of the

0:34:56.120 --> 0:34:59.279
<v Speaker 1>things that we realize is that we can't do this

0:34:59.400 --> 0:35:02.680
<v Speaker 1>work and in our individual sidelows, right, It's gonna take

0:35:03.480 --> 0:35:08.240
<v Speaker 1>a collaborative effort, you know, amongst people locally, people outside

0:35:08.239 --> 0:35:10.480
<v Speaker 1>of the area as well. Right. Why I think what

0:35:10.840 --> 0:35:13.480
<v Speaker 1>we're doing right now is important because you know, you

0:35:13.480 --> 0:35:16.520
<v Speaker 1>guys are helping to amplify you know, what we're the

0:35:16.600 --> 0:35:19.279
<v Speaker 1>challenges that we have right now. I think everybody has

0:35:19.280 --> 0:35:22.000
<v Speaker 1>a part to play. We can't expect people to all

0:35:22.640 --> 0:35:25.759
<v Speaker 1>play the same role the same exact way, right, we

0:35:25.800 --> 0:35:28.719
<v Speaker 1>have to like understand what where people's strengths are and

0:35:28.840 --> 0:35:31.239
<v Speaker 1>utilize them for their strength. So, you know, what you

0:35:31.280 --> 0:35:33.000
<v Speaker 1>guys are doing right now, this is this is really

0:35:33.040 --> 0:35:36.200
<v Speaker 1>important for us because it's helping us and amplify that message.

0:35:36.400 --> 0:35:39.319
<v Speaker 1>And hopefully in that amplification, you know, we can start

0:35:39.360 --> 0:35:43.120
<v Speaker 1>to develop the right um uh collaborations and getting the

0:35:43.200 --> 0:35:46.160
<v Speaker 1>resources that we need to make sure that things like

0:35:46.200 --> 0:35:48.440
<v Speaker 1>this don't happen again. One of the things again I

0:35:48.480 --> 0:35:51.720
<v Speaker 1>mentioned this earlier about about that that grocery store being

0:35:52.200 --> 0:35:54.759
<v Speaker 1>um the only one in that in that neighborhood and

0:35:54.840 --> 0:35:56.840
<v Speaker 1>or the east side of Buffalo. We would love to

0:35:56.880 --> 0:35:59.800
<v Speaker 1>get the resources that we can put another grocery store

0:36:00.040 --> 0:36:02.839
<v Speaker 1>in the area, you know what I mean. Like it

0:36:03.320 --> 0:36:06.960
<v Speaker 1>right now, there is a food issue in terms of

0:36:07.000 --> 0:36:10.520
<v Speaker 1>getting as you said, fresh fruits and vegetables and other

0:36:10.600 --> 0:36:13.440
<v Speaker 1>things to families. And even with the vigil that we

0:36:13.480 --> 0:36:16.239
<v Speaker 1>did yesterday, it was all about it was okay, we

0:36:16.280 --> 0:36:18.719
<v Speaker 1>did the visual, but we also did a food distribution

0:36:18.760 --> 0:36:20.400
<v Speaker 1>as well. You know, we want to make sure that

0:36:20.440 --> 0:36:22.480
<v Speaker 1>we have a present We did that on Sunday as well,

0:36:22.600 --> 0:36:25.080
<v Speaker 1>that the day after the after the shooting. We wanted

0:36:25.080 --> 0:36:27.279
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that we you know, that we do

0:36:27.400 --> 0:36:29.000
<v Speaker 1>have a presence in the community. And again I have

0:36:29.040 --> 0:36:30.759
<v Speaker 1>a vested interest because I have an office over there

0:36:30.760 --> 0:36:33.120
<v Speaker 1>in that tract, you know, so I'm just as much

0:36:33.160 --> 0:36:35.399
<v Speaker 1>a part of that community that that every you know,

0:36:35.680 --> 0:36:38.279
<v Speaker 1>with everybody else. So but we want to make sure

0:36:38.320 --> 0:36:40.879
<v Speaker 1>that we have the resources that we that we need

0:36:41.200 --> 0:36:44.920
<v Speaker 1>so we can have long term sustainability. And so this

0:36:45.000 --> 0:36:47.880
<v Speaker 1>is just not a one off situation, you know, because again,

0:36:48.080 --> 0:36:50.640
<v Speaker 1>the moment is going to die down. We understand, it

0:36:50.680 --> 0:36:52.840
<v Speaker 1>happens all the time. You know. History is often a

0:36:52.920 --> 0:36:55.680
<v Speaker 1>good indicator and a good predictor of the future. So

0:36:55.719 --> 0:36:57.719
<v Speaker 1>we know that this is this situation is going to

0:36:57.800 --> 0:37:00.479
<v Speaker 1>die down. The eyes of the world is not gonna

0:37:00.480 --> 0:37:02.919
<v Speaker 1>be on Buffalo in a very short period of time.

0:37:03.239 --> 0:37:06.000
<v Speaker 1>So one, let's take advantage of this opportunity that we

0:37:06.040 --> 0:37:09.279
<v Speaker 1>have right now. But also for those listening, let's let's

0:37:09.280 --> 0:37:12.480
<v Speaker 1>see how we could all collectively come together right to

0:37:12.560 --> 0:37:14.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of help us make sure that we have some

0:37:15.000 --> 0:37:18.520
<v Speaker 1>long term sustainability for the folks that live in that

0:37:18.560 --> 0:37:22.080
<v Speaker 1>community and in that neighborhood. Well, for me, you know,

0:37:22.920 --> 0:37:25.120
<v Speaker 1>we we we definitely wanted to support you, and we're

0:37:25.160 --> 0:37:27.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna support you in any way that we possibly can.

0:37:27.600 --> 0:37:31.840
<v Speaker 1>But I think for me, it deeper is is accountability

0:37:31.880 --> 0:37:35.400
<v Speaker 1>not just to him, but anybody that fuels that level

0:37:35.400 --> 0:37:37.759
<v Speaker 1>of hate. Anybody who's used that level of hey, like

0:37:38.080 --> 0:37:41.480
<v Speaker 1>that has to be intention People like Tucker Carston and

0:37:41.800 --> 0:37:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Fox News and and others that we know have fueled that.

0:37:45.520 --> 0:37:48.319
<v Speaker 1>Like when we look at the insurrection, things like these

0:37:48.320 --> 0:37:52.359
<v Speaker 1>things are fueled by things by people who who know

0:37:52.440 --> 0:37:54.920
<v Speaker 1>what they're doing, you know. So I think for us,

0:37:55.040 --> 0:37:57.000
<v Speaker 1>we have to we have to focus on the fuel.

0:37:57.360 --> 0:38:00.319
<v Speaker 1>We gotta focus on and target those people who are

0:38:00.440 --> 0:38:03.080
<v Speaker 1>are directly these are the people, like they said, with

0:38:03.200 --> 0:38:06.320
<v Speaker 1>this with this dulkness still be sin. But the guilty

0:38:06.360 --> 0:38:07.920
<v Speaker 1>one is not the one who can miss. The sinner

0:38:07.920 --> 0:38:10.279
<v Speaker 1>is he who creates the dulkness. So we gotta start

0:38:10.280 --> 0:38:14.839
<v Speaker 1>getting people that's creating the dulness. Absolutely, that's the fact.

0:38:14.920 --> 0:38:17.080

<v Speaker 1>I know it's tough times. Uh, it's overwhelming for me,

0:39:06.719 --> 0:39:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm just tired of seeing black people dying. Like

0:39:10.239 --> 0:39:13.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm tired. There's so much death, you know that it's

0:39:13.640 --> 0:39:15.680
<v Speaker 1>just becoming an overwelming. So I just want to I

0:39:15.760 --> 0:39:18.120
<v Speaker 1>know that if you feel like I feel, Man, just

0:39:18.800 --> 0:39:21.239
<v Speaker 1>take a deep breath. Man, tell somebody you love him.

0:39:28.320 --> 0:39:32.319
<v Speaker 1>Man appreciate. Yeah, And I've said this last thing. The

0:39:32.360 --> 0:39:34.040
<v Speaker 1>one thing that kind of keeps me going is the

0:39:34.040 --> 0:39:36.600
<v Speaker 1>fact that I did just have my first child, right

0:39:36.640 --> 0:39:38.959
<v Speaker 1>so my my my new warm my son, my son's side,

0:39:39.000 --> 0:39:41.560
<v Speaker 1>my prince sire and being able to go home and

0:39:41.600 --> 0:39:45.640
<v Speaker 1>see him and to hug him and to know that, uh,

0:39:45.719 --> 0:39:48.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm gonna unfortunately have to raise him in

0:39:48.200 --> 0:39:50.640
<v Speaker 1>the world where I have to teach him that his

0:39:50.640 --> 0:39:53.359
<v Speaker 1>his skin color might be a threat. But knowing that,

0:39:53.440 --> 0:39:55.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's going to be able to carry on

0:39:55.520 --> 0:39:58.399
<v Speaker 1>the legacy of what we what we're doing right now,

0:39:59.320 --> 0:40:02.160
<v Speaker 1>that's that's I feel. So I'm doing I'm doing this

0:40:02.280 --> 0:40:04.040
<v Speaker 1>not only just for my people, for my son as

0:40:04.040 --> 0:40:10.000
<v Speaker 1>well well. Doing a good job than you appreciate. I

0:40:10.040 --> 0:40:14.200
<v Speaker 1>appreciate you all, thank you all. So you know, I mean,

0:40:15.440 --> 0:40:17.440
<v Speaker 1>it's not a lot of words to say. You know,

0:40:17.480 --> 0:40:21.640
<v Speaker 1>I think Jamal he is, you know, such a important

0:40:22.400 --> 0:40:26.640
<v Speaker 1>UM leader, and you know, these things happen in certain

0:40:26.719 --> 0:40:32.200
<v Speaker 1>places and at certain times that we have to recognize

0:40:32.320 --> 0:40:37.640
<v Speaker 1>also like God's hand right, because Jamal is an incredible organizer.

0:40:38.120 --> 0:40:41.040
<v Speaker 1>So the fact that this happens in the community that

0:40:41.120 --> 0:40:45.240
<v Speaker 1>he's in makes me feel like people, for whatever it's worth,

0:40:45.560 --> 0:40:48.120
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna be all right, right because I know what

0:40:48.160 --> 0:40:50.399
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna do. I know the work he's gonna put in,

0:40:51.080 --> 0:40:54.200
<v Speaker 1>and and I want us not to because we we

0:40:54.480 --> 0:40:56.560
<v Speaker 1>we talk about these issues, and like you said, it

0:40:56.560 --> 0:40:58.960
<v Speaker 1>becomes political the left, the right, that this and that.

0:40:59.280 --> 0:41:03.279
<v Speaker 1>But they are actual families, they are actual names that

0:41:03.360 --> 0:41:07.680
<v Speaker 1>need to be called and people that have to be remembered. Um.

0:41:07.760 --> 0:41:11.480
<v Speaker 1>And so I think for us today, since there's not

0:41:11.600 --> 0:41:15.160
<v Speaker 1>much left to be said, we should really acknowledge these

0:41:15.200 --> 0:41:20.319
<v Speaker 1>actual individuals and not just talk about them as if

0:41:20.360 --> 0:41:22.719
<v Speaker 1>it's just you know, it was just a shooting. No,

0:41:23.640 --> 0:41:28.080
<v Speaker 1>our grandmothers and grandfathers and our brothers and sisters. They

0:41:28.120 --> 0:41:34.279
<v Speaker 1>were killed by someone who targeted them, and they could

0:41:34.320 --> 0:41:38.239
<v Speaker 1>have targeted any one of us. So these are fallen soldiers.

0:41:40.920 --> 0:41:51.000
