1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States

7
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

10
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home

13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.

14
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,

15
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: border and families will.

16
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: Be protected sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 3: So let me ask you this Black Hollywood, and We've

18
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 3: been spending a lot of time in Black Hollywood, so

19
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 3: I'm hearing a lot of the same stories told like

20
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 3: it's very tough it's difficult. The budgets are not the same,

21
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 3: and you know a lot of people saying the same

22
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 3: thing for the outside people that's not in that cluster,

23
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 3: and they don't understand, like, what are some of the

24
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 3: challenges that people facing Black Hollywood as far as getting

25
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 3: a movie produced or not getting the same budget for

26
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 3: their white counterparts, because I don't think people have an

27
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 3: appreciation of that.

28
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 4: Well, the very thing that those who are outside of

29
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 4: the Hollywood industry that are in our community, that see

30
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 4: the challenges that.

31
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 5: We deal with every day as of people.

32
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 4: You know, we work twice as hard to get you know,

33
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 4: twice is less as our counterparts, right, and that being said,

34
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 4: it is the same way we're not valued the way

35
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 4: we I believe we supposed to be about. So those

36
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 4: budgets are really important for us so that we can

37
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 4: have the kind of quality that we can resent to

38
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 4: the consumer. And the smaller the budget, the more creative

39
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 4: you have to get. And we don't have resources off

40
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 4: oftentimes as our white counterparts. The real deal is we

41
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 4: don't own any platforms the way we should. There's a

42
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 4: few black owned platforms, but we don't have a lot

43
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 4: of outlets. We don't have as many, So we're not

44
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 4: sort of governing over these entities or these corporations to say, hey,

45
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 4: you guys have a great story, y'all want to tell it,

46
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 4: and there's money to be made, come here.

47
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 5: It's not as many. So when we do find.

48
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 4: That those places, everybody's trying to go through one keyhole.

49
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 4: Everybody's trying to go through one tunnel. And even when

50
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 4: you go to non black owned places, they'll tell you

51
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 4: to go over there because you know, they have to

52
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 4: find value in what we do. And that's changing quite

53
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 4: a bit as we're you know, making it very clear,

54
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 4: and we're loud about it because we have to that.

55
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 4: I always say, and I talk to execs in the

56
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 4: industry in Hollywood that either look like us, and particularly

57
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 4: the ones who are not from the black community. I

58
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 4: tell people all the time, we're not looking for handouts.

59
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 4: We're not asking for any favors. Black folks have earned

60
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 4: the right to have the things that we believe right

61
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 4: from what we've contributed in front of the camera, what

62
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 4: we've done behind the camera, the things that we have

63
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 4: done and changed the narratives, and we've taken the rain.

64
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 4: We've been able to do so much, and we've made

65
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 4: y'all a lot of money ten times, one hundred times

66
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 4: over in a real way. But also the consumers, black communities,

67
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 4: black people support all movies, right, so we have earned that.

68
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 4: We have earned the right to be at the table.

69
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 4: We earned the right to have the you know, decision

70
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 4: making power. And oftentimes in Hollywood historically black folks don't

71
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 4: govern over anything.

72
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 5: We're in front of the camera and it looks good.

73
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 4: Give black folks enough, you know, to keep them quiet,

74
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 4: but not enough to make them a real difference or

75
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 4: have a real impact on the other side of things.

76
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 5: And we want to change that. You know, we don't want.

77
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 4: To just have enough to keep us quiet but really

78
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 4: not make a difference. We're trying to really do something

79
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 4: here and we've earned it on both sides.

80
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 5: So now we have black entrepreneurs and I mean that

81
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 5: you are.

82
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 4: Now we have black entrepreneurs or black you know, companies

83
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 4: that recognize that, and they Hollywood has had to come

84
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 4: together and be a part of sort of you know, uh,

85
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 4: the movement, and because they understand we bring a lot

86
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 4: of money.

87
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 5: So you look at this, it's like look at black Panther.

88
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 6: That's that's where I was going, because what you're saying

89
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 6: is it takes for a black panther and alright, Coogler

90
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 6: to do that, a billion dollar movie, do it again,

91
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 6: another billion dollar success on its way. And then you

92
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 6: hear like what Disney has a divisional Onyx and that

93
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 6: was focusing on black creators, and so I wonder if

94
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 6: I mean, it seems like it's a timing thing, right

95
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 6: even now, like you said, there's a cold time, but

96
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 6: now it's hot. It's a hot thing, and it's a topic.

97
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 6: It's a topic, right, and so now it brings more creatives.

98
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 6: But having just honest isn't enough, right, No, I was going.

99
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: I was going to. The next point was like, hey,

100
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: take entertainment.

101
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, like exactly this Now this develops and it's like

102
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 6: you've been working for But now the timing of it

103
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 6: makes sense.

104
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 4: I mean yeah, because now we have executives who are

105
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 4: in these places now that are you know, the heads

106
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 4: of production in their heads of these companies and entertainment

107
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 4: companies that when I walk into a room, they understand

108
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 4: and it's not something that I have to you know,

109
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 4: beat them over the head about like Okay, they get it,

110
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 4: and I'm not going to bring anything that's mediocre. I'm

111
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 4: really believe I'll bring something that's quality or I won't

112
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 4: bring it at all. Right, but you mentioned Tapment Entertainment,

113
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 4: which is a production company, entertainment company that my brothers

114
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 4: Laarn and Lamar and I decided to put together years ago,

119
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 6: and sure they definitely can be, but understanding a professionals

120

121

168
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 4: take CAREU. But it's like, okay, it's great to be

169
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 4: in there, and it's great to get a little bit

170
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 4: of that money. But we want to get the product

171
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 4: out there. We want to be able to get the

172
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 4: stories told. We want to be able to make sure

173
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 4: that the voices of the voice list can be heard.

174
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 4: And if we are those you know, the pathway with

175
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 4: the conduits to do that, then we really need to

176
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 4: see those who are like minded and understand the bigger

177
00:09:58,679 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 4: overall picture.

178
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 5: Want equity.

179
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 4: It's more than just you know, getting the project off

180
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 4: the ground. We want some ownership. And as we do

181
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 4: business with other you know, black entities, quality, you know,

182
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 4: we're looking for quality. We team up with the quality.

183
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 4: We want equity because that's what it's about. It is

184
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 4: a business. And so the fact that we recognize more

185
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 4: of the business. We walk into the rooms and we

186
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 4: are aren't we we we we we know.

187
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 5: What we're doing.

188
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: I thought, oh, that was gonna come out. He's gonna

189
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 2: say we go on our ship.

190
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 5: I was about to.

191
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 3: It's been a pleasure, my brother. Anything that you want

192
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 3: to make the public aware of any new projects, of

193
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 3: course you know your Power, but anything you're working on.

194
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to talk about obviously Power Ghosts season three,

195
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 4: that's out, that's covered out.

196

Speaker 5: It's going to be an incredible season. Coun Yes, counselmen

197
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 5: tell you that's the connection.

198
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,079
Speaker 4: And you know, can't give too much away, but I

199
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 4: can't say that we've elevated some things. We're definitely gonna

200
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 4: you know, see counsel and take up to his Shenanigan

201
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 4: how to do that.

202
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 5: It wouldn't be you know, there's gonna be some blood something.

203
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a backdoor deals, it's a you know, some

204
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 4: nonsense going on.

205
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 5: And no, I'm excited about it. It's a it's a

206
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 5: it's a.

207
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: Great body will be sacrificed.

208
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 4: Absolutely mandatory, it has to happen. But I'm excited about

209
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 4: this season and what the whole Power Universe is representing.

210
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 5: What else we got.

211
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 4: We my brothers and I actually are working on a

212
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 4: docu series about social injustice, about the marginalization of specifically

213
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 4: black people, and we are filmed it in Chicago, right

214
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 4: We've been working on the West Side, in the South

215
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 4: Side Chicago, really just showing, you know, why some of

216
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 4: the things are happening, but beyond why are the things

217
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 4: happening in terms of the marginalization of us and our community,

218
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 4: what are the solutions? And we are trying to create

219
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 4: something that allows the people who are going through what

220
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 4: they're going through to come up with the solutions. Oftentimes

221
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 4: it's people who are behind the scenes or off to

222
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 4: the side who is not even we're not even from

223
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 4: the community deciding what is best for those who are

224
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 4: dealing with the deal with it. But guess who knows

225
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 4: the people who have been able to survive, the people

226
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 4: who have been able to overcome those hurdles and those

227
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 4: pitfalls and those land mines. So we wanted to create

228
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 4: something that allows the voices of those who are dealing

229
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 4: with it.

230
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 5: To tell us what the solution is and let's figure

231
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 5: that out.

232
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 4: So we're also involved with some redevelopment, you know, we

233
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 4: have to call it redevelopment, but basically it's.

234
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 5: Gentrification in the hood.

235
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 4: And I'm like, yo, hold up, how can we be

236
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 4: a part of that, you know, redevelopment because it's really

237
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 4: important and as you know with gentrification, you know, it's

238
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 4: valuable land, it's valuable you know, communities, but they displace

239
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 4: those who inhabit it, and it's particularly black folks, black

240
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 4: and brown people, right, And so we're like, how can

241
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 4: we find this social equity?

242
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,479
Speaker 5: How can we find opportunities to keep.

243
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 4: You know, to redevelop it, get all the amenities, housing,

244
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 4: affordable housing, you know, businesses that the people who live

245
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 4: there could take part, and they're not displaced, right, And

246
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 4: we can create businesses and we can create you know,

247
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 4: schools and museums. And this is not like sort of

248
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 4: like a pipe stream. It's like it is attainable.

249
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 5: It happens.

250
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 4: It just doesn't happen with us often. So we're doing

251
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 4: all the things that we can to be a part

252
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 4: of that. We're dealing with developers and architects and lawyers

253
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 4: and you know, financial people that you know, look like

254
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 4: us that we could be a part of the narrative

255
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 4: to redevelop and help buy back the block you had.

256
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 2: My last thing, you had a successful odio series.

257
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 4: Yes, so Bronsville represents that and that's at that. Yeah,

258
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 4: so we have more of that.

259
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 5: You know. Bronsville is sort of a road map, if

260
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 5: you will.

261
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 4: The actual story is like a story of the mind

262
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 4: where you can like hear like this podcast, right, but

263
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 4: we scripted it.

264
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 5: There's characters in it.

265
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 4: And it takes place in an nineteen thirties nineteen forties

266
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,479
Speaker 4: on the South side of Chicago in a community called Bronzeville,

267
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 4: where black folks were self sufficient and the way that

268
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 4: they became self sufficient financially was running numbers. Other communities

269
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 4: were you know, bootlegging, when doing liquor and all that stuff.

270
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 4: During Prohibition, black folks we were running numbers. And what

271
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 4: happened was as a result of creating this economic infrastructure,

272
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 4: they began to invest in the community. So these people

273
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 4: will call policy kings, decided to invest into like the

274
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 4: first black owned bank, the first department store in Chicago

275
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 4: that was black on the grocery stores, and we had

276
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 4: this metropolis of a community where we had our own

277
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 4: police departments when we policed ourselves, and we had our

278
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 4: own grocery stores and butcher shops where people would look

279
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 4: out for each other. And I felt like we got

280
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 4: away from that, and we wanted to tell the story

281
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 4: of how we can get back to that because it

282
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 4: is attainable for us as black folks to unite, thrive

283
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 4: and have a true a part of the piece of

284
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 4: American dream turners.

00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:09,920
