<v Speaker 1>Native lampod is a production of iHeartRadio in partnership with

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Reason Choice Media.

0:00:05.200 --> 0:00:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Welcome Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome.

0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:10.520
<v Speaker 3>Welcome, Welcome, Welcome home, y'all.

0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:15.040
<v Speaker 1>This is another solo pod featuring me your host, Angela

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Raie for today. I am happy to be here with

0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:22.880
<v Speaker 1>my guests, but I am sad about at least one

0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:26.319
<v Speaker 1>of the reasons that we are here and one of

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>the topics for today, and that is this Minnesota church

0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:33.599
<v Speaker 1>protest that the administration has chosen to use to make

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:38.440
<v Speaker 1>an example out of protesters and journalists. So just yesterday,

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that two more of the

0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:45.440
<v Speaker 1>nine defendants had been arrested. One of them is Ian

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:49.199
<v Speaker 1>Austin and the other is Jerome Richardson, who is a

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:54.160
<v Speaker 1>college student in Philadelphia. Jerome Richardson as a young man

0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 1>who spent his time at that protest helping Don Lemon

0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:04.119
<v Speaker 1>get He's a multimedia producer and has also been pricked.

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:06.319
<v Speaker 1>His conscience was pricked when George Floyd was killed in

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:10.119
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota and joined protests. Then he knows the protests well,

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:13.400
<v Speaker 1>he knows the community well, being a Minneapolis resident, and

0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:17.320
<v Speaker 1>that day he was present for the protest and now

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:22.760
<v Speaker 1>today finds himself behind bars waiting to see a judge

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 1>and to see what happens as at the time that

0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 1>we began to record, that is the latest that I have.

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I asked that you all please continue to lift up

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Jerome Richardson and Ian Austin in prayer and definitely send

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.959
<v Speaker 1>resources their way so they can continue to fight these

0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>really frivolous cases. To remind everyone, this was not a

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:45.959
<v Speaker 1>pointless church protest. It was at City's Church in Minneapolis,

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>where one of the pastors of the church serves I'm

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 1>so sorry, City Church in Saint Paul serves as an

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>ice field director, David Easterwood, And that is what the

0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>protesters arrived to protest. Joining me now is someone who

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 1>taught me everything I know. And that is not hyperbolic

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 1>by any sense, because that man is who many of

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:12.959
<v Speaker 1>you all have begun to call Popa Rye, so Eddie

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Rye Jr. The perpetual protester, the man who I know

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.480
<v Speaker 1>to carry a bullhorn. Whether or not it is operational

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.880
<v Speaker 1>and has batteries doesn't matter. The point is he is

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 1>going to have a bullhorn and probably a protest signed

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 1>so Daddy, thank you for joining me.

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:28.079
<v Speaker 4>Thank you very much for having me.

0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 3>It's my highest honor.

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.919
<v Speaker 1>So I want to play this clip because I want

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:38.080
<v Speaker 1>to contrast what the Trump administration does with protests in church,

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 1>all church protests. It sounds like, Daddy are not made equals.

0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:45.400
<v Speaker 1>So let's roll this clip. First of the Minnesota protest.

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 5>David Easterwood is a pastor here. He is also the

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:54.520
<v Speaker 5>director of the field office for ICE and Saint Paul.

0:02:54.680 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 5>So someone who claims to worship God teaching people in

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 5>this church about God. It's out there overseeing ICE agents.

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 5>Think about what we've experienced, the murder of Renee Good

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 5>at the hands of ICE, a Venezuelan national shot by ICE,

0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:19.640
<v Speaker 5>a six month old baby who almost died as a

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 5>result of ICE unleashing military gray weapons on our community.

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:28.079
<v Speaker 5>How dare you claim to be a pastor of God

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 5>and you are involved in evil in our community.

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say, Dad, you can hear them clearly

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 1>yelling ICE out. So it has little to do with

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 1>the Gospel and everything to do with the role of

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>the pastor outside of the church. When you see that,

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>what's your response to the organizers? Do you have any

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:52.360
<v Speaker 1>visceral reaction to protesting in church as a protest to yourself,

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>do you think that's a no?

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 6>No?

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:55.360
<v Speaker 3>Is that a ligne that's crossed?

0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 4>Not at all. Anytime you have a pastor that's allegedly

0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:02.480
<v Speaker 4>is bringing people to Jesus Christ and is doing the

0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 4>dationally deeds that is is performing, they should be they

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 4>should be protesting. And I agree fully with the protests.

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 4>The pastor, alleged pastor is a hypocrite. He really can

0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:20.560
<v Speaker 4>be a man of God if he is incarcerating and harassling, intimidating,

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 4>deporting people who have committed no crimes other than trying

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:28.560
<v Speaker 4>to survive in the state of Minnesota and the city

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:29.240
<v Speaker 4>of Minneapolis.

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 3>Saint Paul, I want to roll this next clip.

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 1>This is my colleague and co host Bacari Sellers, who

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:40.599
<v Speaker 1>had a very visceral reaction to this protest and who

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.160
<v Speaker 1>was also raised by a protester and activist by the

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:44.160
<v Speaker 1>name of Cleveland Sellers.

0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 3>Let's see what Bakari had to say about church protests.

0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.120
<v Speaker 7>I don't mind people covering a protest. My problem is

0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 7>with the protesters, and the reason being is because where

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.160
<v Speaker 7>do you draw the line. It's an extremely slippery slope.

0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 7>And one of the palses of worship that I find

0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.279
<v Speaker 7>near and dear to my heart is Mother Emmanuel Ami.

0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:04.920
<v Speaker 7>And in January of twenty twenty four, when Joe Biden

0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:08.279
<v Speaker 7>was in there speaking, it was crashed by some far

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 7>love not even far left, but some left wing Charleston

0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 7>National protesters. And you know, it was just a bunch

0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:16.760
<v Speaker 7>of older black folks in there trying to pray worship.

0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:19.480
<v Speaker 7>And Mother Emmanuel is a sacred place for a lot

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.719
<v Speaker 7>of us. I mean, it just warms our spirit a

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:24.480
<v Speaker 7>lot of us, and we're not trying to go to

0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 7>church to have it interrupted by protesters, particularly for this

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 7>or that. And so I just find that to be

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:31.040
<v Speaker 7>a very slippery slope. If you're like, oh, well we

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 7>can just protest ice, well, who's to keep somebody from

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.520
<v Speaker 7>protesting single payer healthcare or whatever it may be? And

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 7>that for me is a very personal thing. I'm not

0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 7>trying to impose it on anybody else. That just crosses

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:42.640
<v Speaker 7>the line for me.

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 1>So Dad, here, just for context for our audience, Mother

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Emmanuels of course, where Dylan Ruth went into a Bible

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 1>study shot and killed the Emmanuel nine. So I understand

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:58.880
<v Speaker 1>the tenderness around Bakari and his statement around Mother Emmanuel.

0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 4>What do you say to that, I agree with Bacari

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:06.600
<v Speaker 4>sellers all the way. You know, it's one thing to

0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:09.280
<v Speaker 4>have a protest. That's another thing to go into be

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:11.760
<v Speaker 4>invited into a place of worship and kill nine people.

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:17.440
<v Speaker 4>So the other thing is that crash and interrupt a

0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 4>meeting or presentation by President Joe Biden. There's nothing to

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.040
<v Speaker 4>compare the two situations.

0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.600
<v Speaker 1>So you're saying you agree with him about Mother Emanuel

0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:31.279
<v Speaker 1>the massacre, but not Mother Emanual the protest of Joe Biden.

0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:34.920
<v Speaker 1>You're staying with the protesters with the Biden protest piece.

0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:38.840
<v Speaker 4>Well, I mean, I'm just saying, in America, you're supposed

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:42.240
<v Speaker 4>to have rights to do whatever, But you know, I

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:47.720
<v Speaker 4>can't condemn people for speaking up, especially in a non violent,

0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.640
<v Speaker 4>peaceful kind of protests. Yeah, that's the kind of protests

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 4>that I advocate, and that's the kind of protests that

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 4>I've been involved with over my life. There's been occasions,

0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:00.240
<v Speaker 4>like when the closing on construction sites, where two or

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.159
<v Speaker 4>three people might get on the line and something might happen,

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 4>but for the most parts, they were all peaceful.

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:08.800
<v Speaker 3>When you say something might happen, what might have happened? Dead?

0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.200
<v Speaker 4>Oh, a fistal cuffs or something like that.

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.640
<v Speaker 3>Have you ever swung on anybody at a protest, Daddy, No, I've.

0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 4>Only talked bad to him. I've never had that, never

0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:22.200
<v Speaker 4>raised my hands anyone.

0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Would you say?

0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:25.320
<v Speaker 4>Well, I don't know if I can say it on

0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 4>this podcast, but.

0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, you like to tell me I need to stop

0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 1>cussing on the podcast. You have something you like to

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:32.280
<v Speaker 1>share on the podcast.

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:34.040
<v Speaker 4>Sack of names?

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.840
<v Speaker 3>Okay, sackphle of names? Okay, we'll take it on and

0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 3>want to back you.

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.520
<v Speaker 4>My pastor might be might be checking in on this spot.

0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh I doubt he's listening, but let's keep going. So

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:44.360
<v Speaker 3>here's the thing.

0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:50.600
<v Speaker 1>I want to see if your idea around protest changes

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:54.000
<v Speaker 1>when you see this particular protest. This is a white

0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 1>man who I probably I believe is probably a white nationalist.

0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:01.480
<v Speaker 1>At our good friend, Reverend doctor Jamal Harrison Bryant's church

0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.720
<v Speaker 1>very recently, let us roll this clip new Birth.

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:12.560
<v Speaker 6>Well, Jesus Christ, it's gonna destroy this church. He's gonna

0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.160
<v Speaker 6>destroy this churchful.

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:15.480
<v Speaker 3>And adherent it.

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:16.600
<v Speaker 4>When he does, you'll.

0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:17.760
<v Speaker 6>Destroy you with it.

0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:25.679
<v Speaker 2>It's time to repanci up your wicked will raise spain,

0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 2>stirring hatred among the children of God.

0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:35.120
<v Speaker 6>He know that won't come to tie and won't because

0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.680
<v Speaker 6>you make your name halaughing stock.

0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:43.319
<v Speaker 4>You blasphy the name of Jesus.

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:50.079
<v Speaker 6>Christ with your heart tree, with your hoorishness, your wickedness,

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 6>your guiltyness, your prayers.

0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:57.320
<v Speaker 4>Don't you reach the sea? You break the demons. It's

0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.319
<v Speaker 4>time to get right with God.

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Look, God of the bibleists going to destroy you unless

0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 2>your heads, your materialism, your racism.

0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.920
<v Speaker 6>And all of your high midnessness.

0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.640
<v Speaker 4>It's going in with Jesus' returns.

0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:19.480
<v Speaker 1>So this pilgrim that decided to set foot in Jamal

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Harrison Bryant's church said things like God's going to destroy

0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 1>this church and if you're in it, he will destroy

0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 1>you with it. Repent from your wicked ways, including race baiting,

0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.679
<v Speaker 1>and says your prayers don't even reach the ceiling. What

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.359
<v Speaker 1>do you think about this protest at is it contrasted?

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Does he have the right to be there hollering threatening?

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.520
<v Speaker 4>No? And the man as a matter of fact, he's

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:46.280
<v Speaker 4>inferring that if you're not white, you're not going to

0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:49.960
<v Speaker 4>be saved and you don't know Jesus Christ. And he's

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 4>lucky that some churches he wouldn't say it.

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Being there for five minutes, Dad, can you spin back

0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 1>around to the middle of the camera.

0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:00.800
<v Speaker 3>Police, come back there? You got I got it, okay.

0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:04.839
<v Speaker 4>So he's fortunate because I know a few deacons that

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.679
<v Speaker 4>wouldn't tolerate that at all in Baptist churches. And he

0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:12.400
<v Speaker 4>would have been escorted out gingerly at first. But it's

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.760
<v Speaker 4>been a little different a little later. But yeah, you know,

0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:19.439
<v Speaker 4>that's completely different to come in and accuse people who

0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:22.520
<v Speaker 4>are worshiping Jesus Christ that they're not worthy to be

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 4>praising the Lord. So I think he needed to reread

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.680
<v Speaker 4>that book. He's carrying it with the Bible. He needs

0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.040
<v Speaker 4>to read that again and get a better understanding. Matter

0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:34.120
<v Speaker 4>of fact, he might go to the brother's church and

0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:36.319
<v Speaker 4>get go to Bible study. That might help it.

0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:37.200
<v Speaker 5>Well.

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:41.520
<v Speaker 1>So in your mind, the protesters, the heightst protesters are

0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:45.920
<v Speaker 1>contrasted from from this white man who's screaming, you know,

0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:47.560
<v Speaker 1>threatening things at Jamal's church.

0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:51.000
<v Speaker 4>To see what's happening in Minneapolis, Saint Paul in Minnesota, Yeah,

0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:54.640
<v Speaker 4>you can't see anything that's egregious is happening in that

0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:58.600
<v Speaker 4>church other than this one man's opinion, than this because

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:00.520
<v Speaker 4>it's a black church. That's what really was.

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:01.320
<v Speaker 6>Do you.

0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 3>Sorry?

0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.640
<v Speaker 4>In other words, no, I've just said in other words,

0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:07.839
<v Speaker 4>he is saying that if you're not white, you're not right.

0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.840
<v Speaker 4>And anytime you go on to a worship, a place

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.360
<v Speaker 4>of worship where people are work worshiping Jesus Christ or

0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.040
<v Speaker 4>whoever you worship, you know that should be done in

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.679
<v Speaker 4>a certain way. But when you have a church whose

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:23.120
<v Speaker 4>pastor is a field director for hest, that's a different

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:27.880
<v Speaker 4>story altogether. He is a walking contradiction and he really

0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 4>needs to turn his license in for me for preaching.

0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.599
<v Speaker 1>Well, so I think with that, what is interesting to

0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:38.360
<v Speaker 1>me about this is you know that the Department of

0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Justice wasted no time in prosecuting not only the protesters

0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.959
<v Speaker 1>but also journalists who are clearly journalists. If you go

0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:50.439
<v Speaker 1>to Don Leman's page, Georgia Ford's page, you know very

0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:57.200
<v Speaker 1>clearly that they are journalists. DJ filed pressure Sorry, indicted,

0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:01.719
<v Speaker 1>got indicted, got Georgia for Don Lemon indicted, as well

0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:06.440
<v Speaker 1>as seven other people including Nikima who you saw speaking

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:11.559
<v Speaker 1>on the mic on Georgia Fort's coverage, And what I

0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.680
<v Speaker 1>think is fascinating here, Dad, is we haven't heard anything

0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:19.000
<v Speaker 1>about them pressing charges against this man who was dropped

0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:22.120
<v Speaker 1>in a time capsule. Well, you think they're going to

0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:26.440
<v Speaker 1>press charges against the man who infiltrated Jamal Bryant's church.

0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:30.360
<v Speaker 4>That man that was in beating at that church is

0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:34.319
<v Speaker 4>a representative of Donald J. Trump and a Trump administration. Okay,

0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:38.439
<v Speaker 4>That's that's who he represents. So anytime people seek the

0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:42.800
<v Speaker 4>truth and confront injustice, like Don Lemon, miss Ford and

0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:47.439
<v Speaker 4>other journalists and the protesters, they're protesting and justice. You

0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 4>can see what they're protesting. You can see what Ice

0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:53.439
<v Speaker 4>is doing to people, five year old kids being held

0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:57.040
<v Speaker 4>and separated from their parents, and just speaking of anybody

0:12:57.120 --> 0:13:00.880
<v Speaker 4>and everybody, and the whole time the Trumpet illustration, especially

0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.200
<v Speaker 4>the President saying we're going to go after the people

0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:06.040
<v Speaker 4>who are the troublemakers and need and they're just getting anybody.

0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.599
<v Speaker 4>And now they're getting ready to move to Ohio to

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:12.240
<v Speaker 4>vamp on the Haitians there. So that means that every

0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.480
<v Speaker 4>black person in that area gotta be careful. And I

0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.240
<v Speaker 4>guess some people are wearing their passports. Around their neck.

0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:23.479
<v Speaker 4>But anytime you stand for injustice against any group, injustice

0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 4>was coming for you next.

0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:36.880
<v Speaker 3>So I want to speak.

0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Slightly more in a more light hearted way about injustice.

0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:45.880
<v Speaker 1>But I appreciate your words and your thoughts about protests

0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:47.920
<v Speaker 1>in church and when it is acceptable and when it

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:52.079
<v Speaker 1>is not. But there was another grave injustice, Dad. We

0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:53.719
<v Speaker 1>were at a Super Bowl game, I believe it was

0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl forty nine, and there was a play called

0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:03.880
<v Speaker 1>that neither of us wanted to see. And on the

0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:06.640
<v Speaker 1>other side of that game, I think you and I

0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:11.240
<v Speaker 1>embarrassed Mom so much. I don't have footage of how

0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:15.280
<v Speaker 1>much we embarrass Mom, but I do have footage of

0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:17.760
<v Speaker 1>this play, and I want you to I had never

0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:19.520
<v Speaker 1>seen this before. I want you to see what the

0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:22.680
<v Speaker 1>refs said about this play. It's a split screen. Let's

0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:27.160
<v Speaker 1>roll this clip. I can throw that if donnch oh,

0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:34.040
<v Speaker 1>They said, why would you throw the ball if you've

0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:36.920
<v Speaker 1>got Lynch with less than a minute to go. You

0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:41.600
<v Speaker 1>saw that fateful day, Dad, where they threw the ball

0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:45.880
<v Speaker 1>into the end zone and Marshawn Lynch was not there

0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:50.360
<v Speaker 1>to catch it. Before your reaction, I just would like

0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:52.960
<v Speaker 1>for you to hear Marshawn Lynch's reaction, which I had

0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:54.840
<v Speaker 1>also not heard, not in this way.

0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:55.760
<v Speaker 3>Let's roll that clip.

0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:57.760
<v Speaker 4>You see the reaction from everybody.

0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:01.000
<v Speaker 8>And then as I'm going back to the salon and

0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.240
<v Speaker 8>I go right to Pete Carroll face and I'm talking

0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:04.960
<v Speaker 8>about I hit his ass with the.

0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:11.280
<v Speaker 4>Biggest Why didn't they give you that ball?

0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Man?

0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:16.600
<v Speaker 8>I have no idea and from the nobody taking accountability

0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:20.120
<v Speaker 8>for coordinator and head coach, that's when they're talking to me.

0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:20.960
<v Speaker 4>So I don't know.

0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:24.120
<v Speaker 8>You know that shit were painful because you gotta think

0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:27.080
<v Speaker 8>like you know, you took a dream away, you took

0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:30.080
<v Speaker 8>a moment away, you take a dynasty away, you take

0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:32.840
<v Speaker 8>away all that shit. But you know you put us

0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:36.400
<v Speaker 8>in the in the history books as the dumbest call

0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:38.000
<v Speaker 8>in football history.

0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:44.440
<v Speaker 3>As the dumbest car in history. It says, But daddy, yes.

0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Today, Dad, what's your theory of the case. We talked

0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:54.960
<v Speaker 1>about this a lot off air. Why do you think

0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.000
<v Speaker 1>they did not throw Marshall Lynch the ball?

0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:59.320
<v Speaker 4>To be honest with you, I don't think they wanted Marshall.

0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:01.600
<v Speaker 4>Let you be to more most valuable player, That's what

0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:05.160
<v Speaker 4>it was. Tom Brady was already crying. He knew that

0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.720
<v Speaker 4>Marshan Lynch is gonna get the ball and the Seahawks

0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:10.600
<v Speaker 4>are gonna win the Super Bowl. Why they did that,

0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:13.240
<v Speaker 4>I will never know. It was probably the dumbest play

0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:17.480
<v Speaker 4>ever called in football as far as I'm concerned. It

0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:21.320
<v Speaker 4>was a play ever when you got Marshawn Lynch and

0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:24.240
<v Speaker 4>you go back and throw a pass and this man

0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.520
<v Speaker 4>is capable of just winning the game for you win

0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:32.200
<v Speaker 4>the Super Bowl and will never be forgotten. I guess, Uh,

0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:34.320
<v Speaker 4>the coach just lost.

0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:39.480
<v Speaker 3>His job and Las Vegas, yes, yeah, didn't.

0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:40.960
<v Speaker 4>Do too well there. But I just say, it's just

0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:43.640
<v Speaker 4>it was just so. I really think they did not

0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:46.960
<v Speaker 4>want Marshan Lynch to be the MVP. If somebody knows

0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:48.720
<v Speaker 4>something different, please please share it with me.

0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:51.240
<v Speaker 3>But we would like to know. We would like to know,

0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:53.400
<v Speaker 3>We would inquiring minds would like to know.

0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:57.440
<v Speaker 4>It just did not make any sense whatsoever when you

0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.960
<v Speaker 4>got Marshawn Lynch, who got you all the way down

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.400
<v Speaker 4>on the field, knowing darn well that he was scored

0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:05.560
<v Speaker 4>a touchdown. But the only thing I don't know who

0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:09.200
<v Speaker 4>called that play? Pete Carroll said he didn't call the play.

0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:11.600
<v Speaker 3>He said the offensive coordinator called the play.

0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:14.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and he's the head coach and he can't change nothing.

0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:17.560
<v Speaker 3>Come on, man, well I think we will.

0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:21.800
<v Speaker 1>We will see if history will repeat itself this weekend

0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:24.720
<v Speaker 1>coming up in San Francisco or in the Bay Area

0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:27.680
<v Speaker 1>at Levi Stadium. I guess my question to you, now, Dad,

0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:31.639
<v Speaker 1>is who would if they were in the same exact position,

0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.880
<v Speaker 1>who would you have run the ball from the Seahawks

0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:35.360
<v Speaker 1>the same way?

0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:37.000
<v Speaker 3>Marshaun Lynch should have run the ball.

0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:43.680
<v Speaker 4>kW three, all right, third, k W three. Zach could

0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:46.840
<v Speaker 4>do it, but he's hurt. But kW three will definitely

0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:48.880
<v Speaker 4>be getting the ball as far as I'm concerned. I'm

0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:49.360
<v Speaker 4>not the coach.

0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:51.680
<v Speaker 3>But are you putting money on it? You got five

0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:52.400
<v Speaker 3>on it or off?

0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:54.919
<v Speaker 4>No, But I'll tell you one thing. They get down there,

0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:58.000
<v Speaker 4>i'd show we'll put some money on it. I think

0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:02.159
<v Speaker 4>they will do well the super Bowl. I understand that

0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:03.360
<v Speaker 4>you will be at the super Bowl.

0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:06.080
<v Speaker 3>That is the plan. I wish you wouldn't tell these

0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.520
<v Speaker 3>people my whereabouts why Ice is on the streets.

0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:12.560
<v Speaker 4>I don't think I gonna be at no super Bowl.

0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:12.960
<v Speaker 4>I'll tell you that.

0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:15.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh, Daddy, I think you I don't know about that.

0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:16.600
<v Speaker 3>They're saying they're gonna go.

0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:19.040
<v Speaker 4>Well, as long as they don't let him in.

0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:24.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you know, it's stranger things have happened. I

0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:26.720
<v Speaker 3>don't know. I don't know.

0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.040
<v Speaker 1>I hope your president doesn't go. I'm sure he's not

0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:30.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna go. He don't want to see Bad Bunny.

0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:34.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Well, I'm glad Bad Bunny's gonna be there.

0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:36.600

0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, the point is Dez Desire Perez is the president

0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:20.640
<v Speaker 1>and CEO there, and she has become like a wonderful

0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:24.280
<v Speaker 1>big sister. I've learned so much from her, and she

0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:27.200
<v Speaker 1>does a lot of good in this world, including with

0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:31.920
<v Speaker 1>the Reform Alliance with the United Justice Coalition. There's not

0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:33.920
<v Speaker 1>a single thing that she doesn't do to make sure

0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:37.760
<v Speaker 1>that people are taken care of, especially those who are

0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:39.400
<v Speaker 1>suffering the most. So they've done a lot of good

0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:43.480
<v Speaker 1>work around mass incarceration, on prison abuses. They did a

0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:47.520
<v Speaker 1>documentary on Parchment prison that I showed at the CBC

0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Institute in Tunica that I believe you saw. And so

0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:53.280
<v Speaker 1>I've been able to do some work with him over

0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:55.720
<v Speaker 1>the years. That's great, and she's become like a big

0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:56.680
<v Speaker 1>sister I never had.

0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:00.679
<v Speaker 4>So Yes, I'm glad to hear that he's doing so much.

0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:02.800
<v Speaker 4>Can she also do me to the Super Bowl as well?

0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:06.280
<v Speaker 1>No, Dad, Unfortunately, desire is not going to be your

0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:08.840
<v Speaker 1>ticket to United States reparations. But I'm so glad you

0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:14.320
<v Speaker 1>continue to be in that fight. In that fight, maybe

0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:16.399
<v Speaker 1>you'll get him in the state, in the city, and

0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:18.960
<v Speaker 1>in the country, especially when Donald Trump is no longer

0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:22.439
<v Speaker 1>the president. I don't think he's got those types of interest,

0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:24.359
<v Speaker 1>but I appreciate this moment.

0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:26.879
<v Speaker 3>We love Marshaun Lynch. We shout you out.

0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:29.200
<v Speaker 1>We're so proud of all your successes, all the great

0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:31.240
<v Speaker 1>things you do in community and business.

0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:31.480
<v Speaker 7>Dad.

0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:33.800
<v Speaker 3>You know, he's killing it on his new show. So

0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:35.000
<v Speaker 3>he's doing great things.

0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:39.679
<v Speaker 4>Mrcals and Seattle some date back to before those are

0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:42.600
<v Speaker 4>super Bowl and it's still fun because he's that popular.

0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:43.640
<v Speaker 3>He's great.

0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:47.000
<v Speaker 4>He's probably one of the most popular Seahawks. It's still

0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:47.840
<v Speaker 4>around and.

0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:54.000
<v Speaker 1>He's very funny. Oh, it's very funny. Now you're not here,

0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:56.680
<v Speaker 1>so you don't get fined, but we are going to

0:20:56.840 --> 0:20:57.200
<v Speaker 1>head out.

0:20:57.240 --> 0:20:57.359
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:20:57.440 --> 0:21:01.000
<v Speaker 1>You have any parting words for the people, go see Hawks.

0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Well you can't see my fists.

0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:07.760
<v Speaker 3>I that love you until next time.

0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Y'all.

0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:11.840
<v Speaker 3>Welcome home. Oh stay to the people. You gotta come

0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:12.280
<v Speaker 3>this way.

0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:15.920
<v Speaker 4>I got it, I got it.

0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:19.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh. All right, this has been great. We're done.
