38
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: really a question. You are so well rounded. You are

40
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: people that from the world of politics is able to

41
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,399
Speaker 1: break it down to people in the streets. Right, How

42
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: did you get into this world? Yeah? I think. Well,

43
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: let me not say think. We we do that a

44
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: lot of times and it and it gives the impression

45
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: that we're not confident in our position. So let me

46
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: not say I think. Let me just tell you like

47
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: it is. Uh. You know, I did not get into politics.

48
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: Politics got into me. You know. One of the things

49
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: that I talked about constantly. And there's a lot of

50
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: just for clarification, there's a lot of people politics that say,

51
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: you know, I'm connected to the streets. I'm with the streets,

52
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: and a lot of time I'm s folks to talking about,

53
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, being connected with everyday people. You know, grassroots

54
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: is what they call it. I want to clear that

55
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: up too, because you you'll hear a lot of um

56
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: lingo out there about being connected to people. When I

57
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: say I'm I and from the streets or I've lived

58
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: that life or being affiliated with it, connected with it,

59
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: I'm talking about gangsters period. You know, again, I glorifying

60
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: any lifestyle, not saying, you know, what people should or

61
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: should not be. It just is what it is. Growing

62
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: up in the nineties during the era when as you

63
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: guys know, I don't have to break that down to

64
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: you guys. When bloods and crips ran everything in that era,

65
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: at least where I'm where I'm from. I grew up

66
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: in a neighborhood that was Folk six Peru, North Highlands,

67
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: Oklahama City. A lot of my big homies who I

68
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: still am in contact with today, came from l A.

69
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: The West Coast was really dominant in the Midwest area.

70
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: I don't consider Oklahoma the south, but certainly in the

71
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: Midwest area, Oklahoma, Kansas and so for you know, we

72
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: talked a lot about that. And so when you grew

73
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: up in the nineties, it was everything around you. All

74
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: of my cousins were rolling nineties. And we're talking about

75
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: when I go back and reflecting my life, I'm talking

76
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: about sixth grade, seventh grade. My first funeral was in

77
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: the seventh grade. Um, all of my cousins rolling nineties.

78
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: My first boyfriend in the seventh grade was a rolling

79
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: sixty crib. Then in the ninth grade is when I

80
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: hooked up with um with a blood and then crib

81
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: back and forth. I kind of busted over a little bit.

82
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: I went from side, I couldn't pick a side. So

83
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: it was it was the politics of that environment, you know.

84
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: And when I grew up in a blood territory. My

85
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: best friend was a great street crip and her brother

86
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: was rolling sixty. It was the only crips in my neighborhood.

87
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: And we will walk the streets and what we called

88
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: milkshakes Cortesa's. Some people calling cortezas, but back then, you know,

89
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: we call them milkshakes, the turquoise blue milkshakes. And I remember,

90
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: and I talked about this on the Breakfast Club a

91
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, getting rocks, you know, thrown at

92
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: me from the Homeboy Manadre of Dean Rest in Peace.

93
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: So when I look at what happened in the nineties,

94
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: you know, during that whole Area era, the first UH

95
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: drive by an Oklahoma city was in my neighborhood in

96
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: nine So when you look at everything that I grew

97
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: up from middle school all the way through high school,

98
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: going to see Menaster Society, and the first thing when

99
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: the movie cuts, you hear m C eight, you know

100
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: for the nine three in the motherfucking house, you know

101
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: that whole I remember getting up and if we were

102
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what was it gonna be a fight?

103
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: Wasn't gonna be a shootout, wasn't gonna be whatever. So

104
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: just that whole lifestyle it was around me. It wasn't

105
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: even a matter of It wasn't something you could really

106
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: escape because it was a part of your everyday lifestyle.

107
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: So when I go back now as an adult and

108
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: I reflect, because you really got to think about it

109
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: dating all these guys and hustles and gangsters. Literally my

110
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: whole life. I was a cheerleader in school, but I

111
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: never dated a guy in my age or a guy

112
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: that played football or got it. It was it was

113
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: always gangster. So I got married at twenty three, So

114
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: my entire adult life, I was pretty much married. That's

115
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: really like my last memory. Almost like I've been in

116
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: the pen for the last twenty years, and now that

117
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: I'm a politic, I just naturally fell into it because

118
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: all of those same homies that I'm talking about received

119
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: a lot of time through mass incarceration, through uh the

120
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: War on drugs, through first time non vital defender, you know,

121
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: sentison fifteen sixteen years. Those same homies that had my

122
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: back el who was a cript from Tulsa, that took

123
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: my you know, took over my apartment for three months

124
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: so that I can move to Dallas when I got

125
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: out the military, because I didn't have any money, I

126
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: didn't have a place to go. Spud the blood that

127
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: you know, gave me the money that I needed to

128
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: go to Dallas. Those two men. You know, it wasn't

129
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: my family that put me on It wasn't Grandma, my mom,

130
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: or my daddy. It was the homies that always had

131
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: my back, whether they were protecting me physically or helping

132
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: me financially. And these were men that didn't ask anything

133
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: from me, just looking out for the homer. They just

134
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: believed it and who I was, just as a young lady.

135
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: So I begin still to feel an obligation to speak

136
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: up and have a voice for them, you know, in

137
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: the political space, not just you know, programs. You know,

138
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: I know a lot of homies get involved in programs

139
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: and can goods and giving back to the community. You know,

140
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: it's really important that somebody understands that lifestyle and has

141
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: been at least connected enough, affiliated enough, whether a sympathizer

142
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: or the amount of times that I could have got

143
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: a failing me and I didn't. Are the situations that

144
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: I've been in when I know I could have lost

145
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: my life. I feel a real obligation, you know, to

146
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: be able to speak up on the homies. But have um,

147
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: I've had opportunities to work on local, federal, national campaigns.

148
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: I've had great positions I've had. I've on my own

149
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: staff and firm, employing three hundred people, most of them

150
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: were formed in cars rated. But it's something about being

151
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: a voice for those that had my back when nobody

152
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: else had my back, you know what I mean. So

153
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: I didn't pick it. It wasn't my family wasn't in politics.

154
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: My daddy didn't put me on. You know. No hate

155
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: against anybody who's out there who you know came up

156
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: in politicis because maybe they had a family member to

157
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: put them on. Maybe somebody hooked him up. No, this

158
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: came really from the mother. This was just you know, grinding,

159
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: doing radio, doing television on my own. I'm making a dollar,

160
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: continuing to speak up, putting money on people's books, engaging

161
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: with people through you know, through their bids, understanding what

162
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: it is they went through mentally, physically, emotionally, you know,

163
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: all a standing contact with my homies. That's really been

164
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: the difference to me. And it just allowed me to

165
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: be a voice that I think is really unique, you know,

166
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: in the space to be able to go to Fox News,

167
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: which is a conservative network, and still keep it all

168
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: the way one hundred just as well as I do

169
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: on the Breakfast Club, and just like I do with you.

170
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: If God has positioned me, it's not me bragging. This

171
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: is honestly saying that God has positioned me. I believe

172
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: for a time such as this, So the gangsters know

173
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: that politicians are no different in every gangster, every hustle

174
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: that I ever met, no different literally across the board.

175
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: They just haven't been haven't had the game broken down

176
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: to him. And that's what I'm here to do. So

177
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: what you say, that's being the part of your being

178
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: attached to or in one of my phrases, you're growing

179
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: up in the hood so to speak, uh enabled to

180
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: or gave you the abilities to want to connect and

181
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: speak for gangsters on a political level because a lot

182
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: of us were you know, didn't know the laws or

183
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: seeing when we used to get jack the pulled over

184
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: how we were treated in the system. You being able

185
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: and growing up in the neighborhood gave you the connection

186
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: to want to take this route into polity. Yeah, I

187
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: think it wasn't even really wanting to you know what

188
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a colleague, you know what I'm saying.

189
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: Some of these people do this for a career. For me,

190
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: it's a colleague. You know. When I connected back with

191
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: my own boy who I know this sixteen years and

192
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: had a chance to be go go to commissary and

193
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: go to business and and see what it means to

194
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: really lock somebody up for half of their life. It

195
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: was an obligation a you know what I mean, not

196
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: really Oh yeah, I want to go do that because

197
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: I want people to be like totally understanding this. I've

198
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: made less money doing this. I've had more death threats,

199
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: I've had more issues, I've lost more contracts. They should

200
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: about this fame and glory of what they what they see.

201
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: It's truly gang banging to me, just in a in

202
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: a different space. But I felt that somebody needed to,

203
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: you know, needed to to be a voice. And I'm

204
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: not saying I'm the only voice. I just know I

205
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: don't shy away from from who I funk with period.

206
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: You know, I still I go to functions and all

207
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: this ship. I mean, I'm not you know, I know

208
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: they say grol you grow at it. And fun that

209
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: now when I'm in the left, I go see the

210
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: Homies to go see what that I mean this is.

211
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: And again it's not because you and I. You know,

212
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: see we talked about it one day. He's like, well,

213
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: you know that it attracted you back. No, it wasn't

214
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: about attraction. It's all I've been a part of since

215
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: I was a nine eighteen year old kid. It's all

216
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: that I've ever known. So why would I flip the

217
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: script when I get to this stage in my life

218
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: when I know it was the Homies that always it's

219
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: really not flipping the strip is it's knowing what you

220
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: know and how you can help the homies, not from afar,

221
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: but at the distance to where you don't put yourself

222
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: in harms way going back to the hood, because that's

223
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: one of our biggest problems. And we talked about this

224
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: last night doing eight. We get you, we get you

225
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: a certain point in our life of change, and then

226
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: here we are back in the hood. We don't physically

227
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: get physically. It had to be in the hood to

228
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: make a difference. You're making a difference all away around

229
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: because you stayed grounded, You stayed and you remember where

230
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: you're from you know your roots, and you remember those

231
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: that helped you, and those was homies. You know what

232
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But do you have to put yourself in

233
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: a in a position or a predicament to where, damn

234
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: I might get caught up here? I should I be

235
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: in this in this place right now, in the hood. Yeah,

236
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you, and I think that's

237
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: a great question. You know, everybody moves, you know, if

238
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: you go to the hood, eight go to the hood,

239
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: it's a whole different set up, you know what. You

240
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: know what I mean, it's a whole different when when

241
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: you'all going and being involved, it's it's it's a totally

242
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: different thing than from me. Now. Again, harm doesn't see names.

243
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: Bullets don't know names. That don't So I am well

244
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: aware that when I'm around in certain environments that yes, uh,

245
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: there's some risks associated with with it. Um I I'm

246
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: not naive to that. You know, my friend who I

247
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: told you about was shot and paralyzed just stopping by

248
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: somebody's house in l A. Didn't have shipped to do

249
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: with him, you know, and this was last year. So

250
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm aware that that risk is out there. But I

251
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: will tell you this becoming when when you talk about

252
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: being able to connect to people, my role, my calling,

253
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 1: not nobody else. When we talk about and I don't

254
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: know people's religion, but if we want to talk about

255
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: prophets and Jesus and meeting people where they are, it's

256
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: it's not if I don't meet people where where they are.

257
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: And again, I'm not saying I'm out every night and

258
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: what you know, I'm talking about people that I'm around,

259
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: it that I'm comfortable. It's important that people know that

260
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: I'm accessible, and if there's a risk associated with that,

261
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: it's no different than a risk when I was fighting

262
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: the Oklahoma City Police department living next door to the

263
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: police department, I was the lead publicist on the Oklahoma

264
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: City house cloth rate case where the white man raped

265
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: thirteen black women. My house next door to him, literally,

266
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: and I was fighting that case. The police department is

267
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: the largest, most organized, most resourceful gang in the world.

268
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: So in my mind, I'm already at risk every single day.

269
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: I think people get this ship twisted because they see

270
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: people on social media talking ship Oh yeah, you know,

271
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: tell the police this and tell the police that. Well,

272
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: it's different when you really out here like me and

273
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: Attorney Crump and you know other activists that are really

274
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: out here putting you know, really out here, like for real,

275
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: for real where people know my name. My name is

276
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: teslaent figure on you can look that shi it up.

277
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: It ain't hard for people to find me. I remember

278
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: one time I did a local show here and the

279
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: sheriff came in and followed me on my Twitter. So

280
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: hold me. I'm already in that line of fire as

281
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned. And it's not because you know

282
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: I'm naive about me going to the hood. What I'm

283
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: trying to say is that I know that every time

284
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: I walk out this house, one of these police officers

285
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: can pull me over, just like saying Andrew Bland. I

286
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: know that when I was standing on stage saying that

287
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: we demand accountability for Donald Needley, I understand that a

288
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: hit can be put on me. These people really do have,

289
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: you know, fed cases built on people who harassed folks

290
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: like me. It was the cartress one that got shot

291
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: in the head a couple of years ago. I understand

292
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: it when i'm white supremacy that there's people who wanna

293
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: that want to hurt me. I get death threats now,

294
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: So what's the difference between me getting a death threat?

295
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: If I'm gonna being scary business, I don't need to

296
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: be on what I'm doing. So I'm not saying I'm

297
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: sitting on the corner drinking a forty, even though I

298
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: will sit on the corner, I just don't drink forties.

299
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: But I'm not saying, you know, I'm sitting on the

300
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: court and drinking the fort But what I'm saying is

301
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: I'm I'm around my people. You know, I'm wise with

302
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: my decisions. It's not an everyday thing or I'm out.

303
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: You know. The point I was making is it's important

304
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: that people find me accessible because Jesus never had a church.

305
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: When people came to him, he went to the people.

306
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: So I have a calling that's already been put on

307
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: my life, and I have to exam mean, what if

308
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: death comes with that? And it's no different than when

309
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: people was out there banging, they said, and doing whatever.

310
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: You know what you're getting into now. Again, I'm not

311
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: saying that's the life they need to be. And I'm

312
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: just you know, showing the metaphor that when you when

313
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: you're wrapping something, you're rapping into the fullest, including your safety.

314
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: So that's how I see it. Let me yeah, let

315
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: me ask you a question. Um, you mentioned that you

316
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: get death threats. Is the world of politics really the grammy?

317
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: Yeah you did. The cartress woman a couple of years

318
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: ago was shot in her head. Uh. And then last year,

319
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: the year before last, remember that guy can't some tip

320
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: of my tongue, but was going around sending bombs, uh,

321
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: makeshift bombs. Yeah, and one of my clients was on

322
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: the list where the fans was sitting out side of

323
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: the house telling her, Hey, your name was on the list.

324
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: Trump right now is pushing a hardass line for people

325
00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: to do any means necessary, uh for him to be office.

326
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: It's it's a lot of mental illness out there, and

327
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: I'm in front of two million people, you know, not

328
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: ten twelve niggas on the corner. This is a lot

329
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: of strangers that don't necessarily like what it is that

330
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So you you really to to do what

331
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: I do. You You have to have a different Your

332
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: heart has to be came home, no kool aid. You

333
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: have to be were all aware, you know that that

334
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: you could lose a lot behind this. So it's not

335
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: that you're you know, you're not wise and you don't

336
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: make wise decisions. But I think what what you guys

337
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 1: were talking about about going back to the hood, I

338
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 1: think it's probably different, um, you know, based on the situation.

339
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: But for me, people need to know that that that

340
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: I'm rocking with them and actually, to be honest with you,

341
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: I want to know that if something do happen to me,

342
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 1: that the homies know I'm doing this ship for us,

343
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: Like that's important you know to me, Yeah, it's it's

344
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: very much important. Like like you said, like we've been talking,

345
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 1: it's very much important for us to be here to

346
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: support you too as well, so people know that you're

347
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: not out here by yourself. You understand what I mean,

348
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: You're not like the average girl, just just like you

349
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: don't have no reinforcements that can be called up in

350
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: any second. You know, Yeah, I know you definitely. I

351
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: know you definitely got a friend of me and James.

352
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: This is what I want to do. I want to

353
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: go back to when was the moment that came. You know,

354
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: you get that epiphany, like you know, you get that

355
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: one situation happens like man, I can really do this.

356
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: This this is really happening. What was that situation? I mean,

357
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: I really do believe that either you know, it's even

358
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: en you are, it's not you know what I mean.

359
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: I've always had a big mouth. I always knew that

360
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: I would go to law school. I've always stood up

361
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: for people. I've never had a fight about me my

362
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: entire life. You know, I can go back. I got

363
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: my first bloody nose in the second grade for somebody

364
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: teasing Shante Roland. I remember them, you know, fighting, getting

365
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: upset bully and my friend Kelly Reynolds in the fourth grade.

366
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: In the sixth grade, I told the teacher that if

367
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: she keeps snatching papers, somebody was gonna slap the ship

368
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: out of I got, you know, suspended in the sixth grade,

369
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: in the seventh grade, all through high school, speaking up,

370
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: you know, so I it was no old Yeah, I

371
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: think I can do this. I've been in trouble for

372
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: my mouth for all my life. Um, and I've always

373
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: whether it was a cheerleader on the side, you know,

374
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: hearing people on that that's what politics is, whether it

375
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: was telling the teacher, I mean, really think about that.

376
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: I was eleven years old and I told the teacher

377
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: no this ain't what it is, do right by us,

378
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: and that's at eleven. You know. So when either either

379
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: you're like that or you're not, you know what I mean,

380
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: it's either. It's kind of like with with real ogs.

381
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: You you can switch up your life and and change.

382
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: We talked about that, you know, a couple of weeks ago.

383
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,719
Speaker 1: You could change and be on something different, but at

384
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you still mob James now, Like,

385
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 1: don't get it twist. Some ship is just in you,

386
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like, so I don't think

387
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 1: when when you're a soldier, you're a soldier. When I

388
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: went to the Air Force, I went to be an

389
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: M sixty gunner, not a security you know, a secretary

390
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: or even my uh my recruiter said you shouldn't go

391
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: do that, you should go do something else. But I

392
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: felt like, if I'm gonna be on the front line,

393
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: I want to be all the way on the front line. Like,

394
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: don't bullshit with it. I don't want to do paperwork.

395
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: Give me the twenty three pound weapons. I'm please. I

396
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: stand five one. The weapon is bigger than me. But

397
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: I've always felt like, if I'm gonna be in it,

398
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be in it. So I really didn't have

399
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: a moment of saying, oh, yeah, I can be in

400
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: I wasn't around politics in that way. You know, there

401
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: was no political person that I looked up. My mom

402
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: was in television, so I've always been on television, but

403
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: there was nothing that I pointed to say, oh, yeah,

404
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: that's me. With the exception of the O. J. Simpson

405
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: trial and knowing I would be an attorney. But it's

406
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: just I've always been the one that spoke up for

407
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: the lease of these are the vulnerable, are the people

408
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: that couldn't get their words together or were too afraid

409
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: to get their words together. I've always been right to

410
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: the fight. Somebody getting jumped, I'm jumping into them. I'm

411
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: not running away. You just have people that are just

412
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: built that way. You either running to the fight that

413
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: you're running away from it. And I'm not saying I'm

414
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: the toughest person in the world. I'm just saying, you know,

415
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 1: I'm its Fear does not consume me, you know, like

416
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: it does a lot of people. And it takes a

417
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 1: fearlessness to speak up to the most powerful people in

418
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: the world in politics. Gangster by nature and not that's right,

419
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 1: that's right. And the homies talk to me, you know,

420
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: stand on what you believe, you know what I mean,

421
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 1: stand stand on it, don't don't switch it up, you

422
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So a lot of that upbringing

423
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: were just really having us. You know, every decision you make,

424
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: having to you don't stand by that and and be solid.

425
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: Even though Christ and Bloods and I was around both,

426
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: I was still solid, you know what I mean. I

427
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't starting ship over here and running over here, keeping conflict,

428
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: going keeping it, you know what I mean. I would

429
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: It's about being solid and in all things. And that's

430
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: the problem. You don't see the politics. It's a lot

431
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: of people in politics. It's not solid at all. Yeah,

432
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: it seems like everybody up there just kind of itself. Look,

433
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: let me ask you this question right here, and I'm

434
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to phrase it, because, like

435
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: you said, you know what to I don't. You know,

436
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: I see you cut people down on a daily face basis.

437
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: They take me how they get it. I don't give

438
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,719
Speaker 1: damn how they take me. To be quite honest with you,

439
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: the name of my show is straight shot. Don't chase it.

440
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: You're gonna take it out. I give it to you.

441
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm not going around trying to figure out. I'm not

442
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: looking for a job, you know, I'm not looking for

443
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: a contract. Even when I did have a job, when

444
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: I was Bernie Sanders National Racial Justice Director, I was

445
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: the only staffer that check Bernie Sanders on national TV

446
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: and TV lawsuit against this movement for ants top black racism.

447
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. So I don't. I don't.

448
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: I don't funk around with the jam. And that's just it.

449
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: It is. It is. You take it, you take it,

450
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 1: you don't, you don't. This is so to me. This

451
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: is so weak because it's not like outside of the safety,

452
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: you know, the safety concerns when you talk about dealing

453
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 1: with people in politics, you know, and they twitter gang

454
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: banging and I g gang banging. That ship just doesn't

455
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: scare me because my life's not attached, you know what

456
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: I mean. So I don't. I'm not looking for friends.

457
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: You know. I've talked about my homies on Fox News.

458
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: It's not about friends with me. It's just about what

459
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: I'm standing on. I've had the same people in my

460
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: life all of my life, So I really don't care

461
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: how they take me I'm not trying to go to

462
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: no meetings, no, no, no. Gale loves none of that ship.

463
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: I'm all good in the hood and that's fine with me. Yeah,

464
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: you're not out there trying to let me. This is

465
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: what I wanted to ask you before my man James

466
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,959
Speaker 1: came in and just cut me off. What is the

467
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: biggest thing you think we need to do with black

468
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: people to get our stuff together? Because I'm pretty sure

469
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: people here is all the time on here with our

470
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 1: of the you know, suggestions. What would you say as

471
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: a person that is kind of like for both sides,

472
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: for both angles. What do you think our biggest issues

473
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: are today? Yeah, that's a broad question, and we can

474
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: go on that all night, but I'm gonna keep it

475
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: simple and short and just give an answer from a

476
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: political standpoint. You know. We could talk about what we

477
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 1: need to do in our community and how we need

478
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: to take care of our own and keep ourselves accountability.

479
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: I could talk about social justice and how we need

480
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 1: to do this and do that, and they could go

481
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: on all night. I want to make it real, simple

482
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: and plain. I think that black people should be registered independence.

483
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: I don't think that we need to align ourselves with

484
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 1: Democrats are Republicans. Republicans read Democrats are blue. I think

485
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: we need to stay in the middle. We need to

486
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: keep them guessing. We need to push the line. We

487
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: need them to know that it's a threat to lose us.

488
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 1: We need to stop being in the mistress position at

489
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: all times, you know, where we just take whatever and

490
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: get screwed multiple times, over and over and over. And

491
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: we need to push the line, and we need to

492
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: organize it, just like we did in the streets. I

493
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of conversation about removing yourself from

494
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: the street, and I get that, and I'm glad that

495
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: you guys are having those conversations with young men. My

496
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: conversation is everything that you learn from the streets, I

497
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: need you to apply the same logic, that same organization,

498
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 1: that same mindset, from the O G S, the Y

499
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: g s, the bgs to the set, to the territory,

500
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: to the work, to the muscle to the hustle, that

501
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: same format, that same structure. I need you to apply

502
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: that to politics. I don't want you to forget everything

503
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: about the streets. Everybody else can have that conversation, but

504
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 1: that's not what I'm trying to get people on. I

505
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: want you to know that if you can organize Inglewood Family,

506
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: and if you can have different branches in Inglewood Family,

507
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: you also should be running Inglewood and the stadium right

508
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: now that's being built outside Inglewood. You should have a

509
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: certain amount of contracts guaranteed period. So the only way

510
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: and the only way you do that is by numbers,

511
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: the same way when you was gang banging, by numbers

512
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: who had the biggest set, But it wasn't always who

513
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: had the biggest set. It was also who pushed the

514
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 1: hardest line. Because in the nineties, as you know, bloods

515
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: didn't always have the biggest set. It was the smallest set.

516
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: But but it was also some people that didn't funk

517
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: with him either based upon how they pushed the line.

518
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: You can have busters on any side, blood crib or

519
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: whatever you know, but at the end of day, it's

520
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: all who pushing the line. And if we can take

521
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: that same gangster mentality to politics, that changes our situation.

522
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: That's why I don't like moving away from that conversation.

523
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 1: I know it's important because you guys, They look up

524
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: to you guys, so you have to have those conversations.

525
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: Me I'm just a sympathizer. I'm just telling you how

526
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: to how to use the same information and apply it

527
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: in politics. It's great to have programs beeding the needy

528
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: and uh Turkey dinners and give back to the community,

529
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: but man, we have to equally be invested in actual power.

530
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: That's not power, that's just that's that's putting a band aid.

531
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: That's not power until you the county commissioner, Hey we

532
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: got Inglewood, and in Inglewood we got fifteen hundred votes.

533
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 1: And if y'all not doing x y X y Z,

534
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: this ship ain't getting built. We're gonna put you on

535
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: blasts until you're able to say, hey we over here

536
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 1: and and rolling sixties say this is that you know

537
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: Nipsey's vision of owning buildings, But what about the politicians.

538
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: Who's owning the politicians? That's where the powers that you

539
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: can get buildings all day long. Who's owning the politicians?

540
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: That has everything to do with your sheriffs, how your

541
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 1: community is policed, That has every everything has to do

542
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: with your big mom and where the taxes are being

543
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: paid on her house are more than likely what you own.

544
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: Our regentrification when they come clean your ass out in

545
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: Inglewood like they're gonna do who's gonna flip that money,

546
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 1: Who's gonna get that money. I mean, it's so much

547
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: involved on the power end that we miss it because

548
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: we think that we're doing something by you know, being

549
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,479
Speaker 1: involved in community programs, which is fine, but it's just

550
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: putting a band aid. I'm I'm trying to get to

551
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: the power of really moving, you know, pushing a line.

552
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 1: Imagine if Suge Knight took the same philosophy and the

553
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: same gainst the philosophy you know that you guys were

554
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: involved in and you had your mayor on lock and

555
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 1: your county commissioner on lock because you had the money,

556
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 1: the body asks and you had the muscle, meaning the

557
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: votes to put them out of office if they didn't

558
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: do what you wanted to do. It Bloods and cripts

559
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: ever got together, if the big homies ever got together

560
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: and organized in that way, that's how we changed. Because

561
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 1: they don't respond to no damn applause. They only respond

562
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: to pressure, period, just like in the set No Difference.

563
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: You know, let me ask you this, Tess. You might

564
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: not know. I think that's why our brother Larry Hoover

565
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: is locked up though, because I think that's what they

566
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: were trying to do in Chicago back in the day.

567
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: And my correct I can't do y'all know, because I

568
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: don't want to speak on something I'm not familiar with. Um. Yeah,

569
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I know this story, but I don't know.

570
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what he was trying to do politically.

571
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: I speak on a little bit because I think that's

572
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: a mirror. I mean, Larry Hoover used to call my

573
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: house and I didn't know anything about the deep politics

574
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: or anything about that either. I just know it was

575
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:20,719
Speaker 1: a sit Mariota where he felt his justice, you know,

576
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: his rights or whatever we prob violated like a lot

577
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: of us were because of the position of power he

578
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: was in in Chicago. So I'm just speaking on what

579
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: I can try to, you know, uh, differentiate from myself.

580
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: But as far as the real politics of what really

581
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: went down, you know, yeah, you know, but what I'm

582
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: seeing is that's kind of America's nightmare. And I think

583
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: it's you know, it starts with you know, it just

584
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: it always starts small. You look at what we're doing now,

585
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: how like, um, you got James where he's impacting a

586
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: lot of people. We are trying to affect these brothers lives,

587
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: to show them that it is a different way. And

588
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: I think that's America's um the biggest fear that we

589
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: do get our ship together and come together and start

590
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: flexing some muscle m But guess what, it don't even

591
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: you know, there's always this mindset saying we all gotta

592
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: come together and they gotta be all of us. It

593
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: ain't gonna never be all of us. It's only gonna

594
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: be just a few people that really push it, you

595
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: know what I mean, and the rest will follow suit.

596
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: As long as we're waiting on everybody, I don't think

597
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: we'll ever get it. You only need a few people.

598
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: The mafia don't wait on everybody, you know. They take

599
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: the strong They don't wait on all everybody to get

600
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: on board. They take the strongest of the tribe and

601
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: they push the fucking line. And you don't hear that.

602
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: You don't want everybody because somebody gonna get somebody killed,

603
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: the locked up, that's what that when everybody get involved

604
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: and then you start running into problems. No, you just

605
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: need the right people in the right positions to push

606
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: your line, and you need the little homies to follow suit.

607
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: You know, we're talking about I'm talking about and you

608
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: know we don't have to use this time to go

609
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: into it, but I have a whole mindset like behind,

610
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: like how this really really can work if you got

611
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: ten people on your block and you know you've got

612
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: ten votes, even if even if dudes can vote, let's

613
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: say they got a felony, let's say they came vote. Well,

614
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: that's okay, yo, yo, mama, can your baby mama? Can

615
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: you know somebody else can't? What if the homies went

616
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: around and organized people in their neighborhood and you was

617
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: able to say, we got three people. It's the small

618
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: things that you can get government to do based upon

619
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: the power in local politics, not that Trump ship, not

620
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: that federal ship, local politics. And it makes a difference.

621
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: So would you say, like, um, if we were out

622
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: here on the wesh trying to organize something, right, you

623
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: would say that's the best, starting local, being grassroots with it.

624
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying, Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying.

625
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: It ain't even about the best. That's the only way

626
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: if not, you continue to keep raising money, getting money

627
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: from the hood, getting homies putting their money and giving

628
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: out you know, grants and nonprofits and waiting on the

629
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: government to give you money. All that's cool, but if

630
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: you do not have a county commissioner, a mayor, a

631
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: city council person, a state rep. That, no, you can

632
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: put their grass out of office. You're just doing You're

633
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: just going in circles. That's where the power comes in. Yeah. See,

634
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: that's why we need people like you ties. That's what

635
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: I told you. You are very necessary. And you and

636
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: you go accept my flowers from me today. You can

637
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: accept all these roses because a lot of us aren't capable.

638
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: We don't think a lot of us don't think we're

639
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: capable of ever being able to go into that world

640
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: and have an impact. But what we are because like

641
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: you said, selling dope, you're dealing with a lot of logistics.

642
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: You're dealing with a lot of routing logistics. Um the

643
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: fastest way to get some somewhere without you know, being seen,

644
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: really and you're done trying to move covert and every

645
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: and it's a lot of telling out there. There's a

646
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: lot of people out there this front of million dollar enterprises,

647
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: and that's the problem. They think they're doing something different,

648
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: Dan Business, You understand what I mean, And you know

649
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: what what people can find intimidating is, you know, they

650
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: think they have to know everything about politics, and you don't.

651
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, when when you put somebody

652
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: on the set long ago, they didn't know everything. That's

653
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: why you got big homies. You know that you can trust.

654
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: That's why when you're in the dog game, you had

655
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: to connect. You didn't know everything about you know, early on,

656
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: you didn't know everything about dog games. Somebody had to

657
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: show you. So I don't expect people to come in

658
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden be political scientists. The things

659
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: that I'm saying at home is can get involved in

660
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: is really simple, No no different than putting together function

661
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: for one eleven day or ten a day or one

662
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: o seven day, you know what I mean? A simple

663
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: function to know that if you're bringing a hundred homeies together,

664
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: how many boats y'all got, and then get that to

665
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: somebody that is in that space so that they know, hey, man,

666
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: we can we can get a thousand people to vote

667
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: you out right now. Because if you're really gonna look

668
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: at your local races, those races are only five six

669
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: seven people a thousand people. It's not a lot of

670
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: people like you would think I've helped people win races

671
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 1: just by we can put James right now on the ballot,

672
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: and enough of your of your influence, and enough of

673
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 1: who you know can get you in office. That's guaranteed.

674
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: Because you're mentioning that James you're in office. Yeah, I

675
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: can imagine that's pay what we need though, because to

676
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: be honest with your task, like I look at James

677
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: is the prime example. He's one of the most organized

678
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:46,240
Speaker 1: people I know. You know, he's on time, he's always um,

679
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: he has a great attention to detail. He don't have

680
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: as do stuff. Those are good qualities to have, you

681
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: understand what I mean. Those are great qualities to have.

682
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: And um, I know you were a music officially now

683
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: a and when we talked initially you had a little

684
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: beef with something that was said that that that we

685
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: have spoke on on the breakfast club and everything. Um,

686
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: and you got James right here. I don't want to

687
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 1: I know you'd like to talk. You got him right here.

688
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:19,720
Speaker 1: Something that you want to tell you're missing as hell

689
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: you're missing I didn't have. First of all, I know

690
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 1: a little home girls place, So there's no way in

691
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 1: hell I'm getting ready to argue with somebody that was

692
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: in the room, with somebody I never met. So let's

693
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 1: first get that straight. Like, I know, I know the

694
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: rules to the game. I know you want to have

695
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: that conversation, but you know, like, yeah, still can pump

696
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: this ship up if you won't to. But I know

697
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: the colthes. I wasn't in the room. I don't know

698
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: about ship. All I'm saying all I said was and

699
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: it's not even about POC. And just for listeners who

700
00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: are watching, you guys were talking about you know, and

701
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: you know how he should have made better decisions, and

702
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 1: I know it was chopped up, you know, the interviews

703
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: always not flowing from beginning to end. And I just

704
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: simply made the comment that you know, all of us,

705
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: you know, evolved at some point. And I always like

706
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: to point out because one thing about Pocket that inspired

707
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: me was a lot of what I'm talking about. You know,

708
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: I started Concrete Roots based on his roles that grew

709
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: from Concrete a lot of him talking about, hey man,

710
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: you know, we we need to get in politics, so

711
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: let's run for office. I had to do it all

712
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 1: on my show, and he told you it all years ago.

713
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: You know that man, after we started getting getting and

714
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: rap heavy, we can really start controlling politics and you

715
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: can run for office. And he had never even imagined

716
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: anything like that. And I've listened to the tapes of

717
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: him talking about how he had Al Sharpton, you know,

718
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: with him and helping him, and how if you gave

719
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: him twenty years he would have a pit, would have

720
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: a pill. So my, my, my, my, my, My vision

721
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: of him is different from you know, intimate relationship like

722
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: you guys have. And all I just tell people is

723
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: he died in so it's easy when we get older,

724
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 1: you know, to go back and say what should have,

725
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 1: would have, could have when he was so young. But again,

726
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: I wasn't there, you know. I I get what you

727
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 1: guys were saying. Was he know he wasn't about their life,

728
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: so he should have said his ass down. I completely

729
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: agree with that, But I was just simply speaking on

730
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: by the perception, you know, when people were hearing it.

731
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,720
Speaker 1: It just needs to be you know. I just wanted

732
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: to put context that he was just so young at

733
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: that time and didn't have a chance to grow like

734
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: you guys have had the pleasure of living to be

735
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: able to tell a story. I think with the deals, though,

736
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 1: a lot of us don't get the opportunities, like you said,

737
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: to grow tens. Because this is a shame. You know,

738
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 1: when I turned thirty five, I had young cats calling me,

739
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: and thirty five is not an old man necessarily, but

740
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: to us as black people were not you know when

741
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: that's said to me, we don't really get the growing

742
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: become who we probably destined to be or who we

743
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: probably could become. And and that's our whole thing. We

744
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 1: want to put program and I don't know if programming

745
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: is the right word for it, but we want to

746
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,720
Speaker 1: start trying to show these brothers that is that there

747
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: are all term chips, you know what I mean. And

748
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 1: a lot of people just don't know. No damn better.

749
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: Some people just ignorant because that's where they've been their

750
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: whole life. That's all they've ever seen and that's all

751
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: they know. Well, I think programs are important, you know,

752
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: I want to be clear. I wasn't saying programs were

753
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: not important. I'm just saying have the politics to you know,

754
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 1: have the programs and the politics they go hand in hand.

755
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: That's who funds the programs, that's who the sides X

756
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: amount of budget. You know, we'll be going to community

757
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: based programs. You know, just in California on an obber

758
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: election when they were pushing Measure J to say a

759
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: certain amount of income. You know, taxes that normally go

760
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 1: to the police department need to go back to community programs.

761
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: Your city and county commission are the ones that can

762
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: write a check and say, hey, here go through the

763
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: thousand two gainst the chronical program or whatever it is,

764
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 1: instead of you have having to raise the money and

765
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: find the money and find the cop you know. But

766
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: and you can apply for the grants, but ain't nothing

767
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: like when you get out a politician that can directly,

768
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: you know, give it to you and and give you

769
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,800
Speaker 1: the necessary resources behind it to make it grow and

770
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 1: put demands on politicians. You know when we talk about

771
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: men who uh, if they don't pay child support, how

772
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: they don't get a driver's license. Well, it's great to

773
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: have a program to teach me and how to pay

774
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,959
Speaker 1: child support, but what about making sure that that law

775
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: is overturned? Because how could I he ever pay child

776
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: support if he can't get to a job, if he

777
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: can't drive. So laws have to be connected to programs too.

778
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: It's not just let's just give them food, but it's

779
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: also how do we make sure you know that they

780
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: have jobs so that they can get their own food,

781
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,479
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So a lot of times

782
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: we do that and and and we make a difference.

783
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: True enough, but I think it's because people haven't been

784
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 1: exposed to how they can do something, and greater than that,

785
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: because they think they have to be in this world. No,

786
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 1: all I need you to do is just go get

787
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: the homies and tell me how many votes we got

788
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: X y Z in this neighborhood, and then we'll we'll

789
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 1: take this ship from here, you know what I mean, Like,

790
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: just understand that. You know what I mean that that's

791
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Yeah, just get to basically understanding

792
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: of it, and I just know the impact. Um, I'm

793
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: gonna let James shared this story. But James had went

794
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: down to UM and we talked about him to show

795
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: a little bit last night. But this gets an example.

796
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: It was a guy that reached out to me. Um.

797
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: He had reached out. We get a lot of We

798
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: get about probably two emails every week, just different people

799
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: saying varying degrees of things. Some people have problems. Some

800
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: mothers having problems with their kids, some fathers having problems

801
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 1: with their kids that you know, with gangs and stuff,

802
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: and they don't necessarily know how to deal with it.

803
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 1: But you know, this brother reached out to me and

804
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: he wanted to get in tex with James, So I

805
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 1: gave him James phone number, and um, he was really

806
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: worried about his brother, and James had talked about James

807
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: had talked to the guy and his brother said he

808
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: was doing cool for a minute, but he had kind

809
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 1: of relapsed into the same stuff he was doing before,

810
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: that same pattern. So James popped up on him and

811
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: he had a really big impact on that dude. And

812
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 1: I just know that's one person, just amazing that that

813
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: turns into two imaging. If it turns in the three,

814
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: four or five, that's when you start really getting stuff

815
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: cracking at me. And the way you can multiply that

816
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: faster is by policies and legislation and resources so that

817
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: you're not hustling by yourself, exactly exactly. I never looked

818
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: at politics, um, that we can make a difference. I

819
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 1: never believed and voted reason why when I was turning

820
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: down when I came off from prison. I thought I

821
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: was out of maybe four or five years, and they

822
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 1: told me I couldn't vote. Showed my vote ain't gonna

823
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: matter anyway. That's that's that was my belief. And and

824
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:03,959
Speaker 1: and thank you for saying that, because that means a lot,

825
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,439
Speaker 1: um just to know, like you say, if you touch one,

826
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: it makes a difference to you. So thank you, you know,

827
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: for acknowledging that, um, that that this that this conversation

828
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: is helping you see things differently, because that means a

829
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 1: lot to me. And I want to just be clear

830
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: about something. I'm not saying. Vote just vote. You know

831
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: how they just say vote for anybody and just just vote.

832
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: Just make different because a lot of time it don't

833
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,320
Speaker 1: make a difference because you're voting for a clown, you

834
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: know what I mean, you're voting for somebody that that Well,

835
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: why is it always why is it always yeah, get

836
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: off vote, vote, voting, voting? Why is it always that?

837
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: Because that's the pimp game. I mean that that's a

838
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: part of the pimp game to get you to just

839
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: get out there and do what they want you to do.

840
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is go put a homie in office.

841
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, Go fund a politician, Go

842
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: get go, go have influence. What a politician? When you

843
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 1: know when they hear when they say, oh, abbience controlled,

844
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 1: special interests control everything. Everybody's probably heard that before, right, Oh,

845
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: the special interests controlling you are a special interest. You

846
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 1: also have an input in the community as well. You

847
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: out there now coaching kids. When's the last time the

848
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: county commission. I see the commission wrote you a check

849
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: to make sure that these kids have the resources that

850
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: they do. This is not all about us all the

851
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: time doing fundraises and barbecues and ship. The government has

852
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 1: money for this ship, not through a grant. I'm talking

853
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: about through your city, your county elected official. So they're

854
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: always saying vote, vote, vote, because they want you to

855
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: vote for them. But you, as you can see that

856
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: no longer works. That's not working like you used to

857
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: work because the leadership. You don't see the difference in

858
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: the leadership. What I'm saying is, go put a homie

859
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 1: on the battle and see how they shake, and see

860
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: how they move, and see how not how they start

861
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 1: doing ship different. Even if you don't win just the

862
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: threat alone. It's just like back in the nineties when

863
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 1: when wearing colors like really mattered. You know, it could

864
00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: be some of the some of the weakest niggas that

865
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: just show up with all blue on, all read on. No,

866
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: he ain't about the bust a grape on skates, but

867
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 1: just the you know what I mean. But just the

868
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: presence of them, you know what I'm saying, The presence

869
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 1: of just healing like you know what I mean. So

870
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 1: that makes a difference if you just go put look

871
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: at the guy that ran against Maxine Waters. I knew

872
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 1: he didn't have a chance in hell and he's not

873
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: from the hood and whatever he said, but just the

874
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: simple fact that he ran against her made her step

875
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 1: her game of Time's ten and we I knew he

876
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,439
Speaker 1: didn't have a chance in hell because the numbers weren't there,

877
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: you know, for him to win. But he pushed it lot.

878
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 1: He did. Some gates of ship, he was doing drive

879
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: bys all in the hood. Ain't that Gangs of ship

880
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: do a drive by on somebody every now and then

881
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: to see and see how. But you know what I'm saying,

882
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:52,240
Speaker 1: it's the same way that gates of ship works. Anytime

883
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 1: there was a drive by. Don't the set want you

884
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 1: to know who did what I mean, don't you so

885
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: it no different in politics? You know what I'm saying.

886
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: You just gotta have you. You just gotta have your

887
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 1: people out there that's making the calls and saying no,

888
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 1: we're not voting for you. Commissioned us on so we

889
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:12,760
Speaker 1: don't go ahead. Let's just put eight on the battle

890
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: and see see how many people show up just the

891
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: funk with him if nothing else. And what that's going

892
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 1: to do is make them come and have a conversation

893
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: with you. Already told eight for president. Man, come on,

894
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 1: stop playing, and I'm telling you, even if you don't win,

895
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: they have to have a conversation with you. It ain't

896
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: no different than when you're moving work, when you're moving

897
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: open somebody's neighborhood. I'm on gains of the the chronicles. Let's

898
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 1: talk gangster ship. If I bring the sack, if I

899
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 1: bring the sack to your hood and your neighborhood all

900
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 1: of a sudden out of town. That's all y'all did

901
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,399
Speaker 1: in California was bringing shipped from out of town. What's

902
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 1: the first thing they want to do? Knock your ass

903
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: out the game because they know you're getting it for less.

904
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: They know that it's gonna be better, and they want

905
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: to put you out the game. So they got one

906
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: or two things. Either put you out the game or

907
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 1: sit out and have a conversation and try to get

908
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:00,040
Speaker 1: connected to your plug. Is that not true? Is of

909
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 1: the high work right? That's exactly how it works in politics.

910
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and put inn C eight on

911
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 1: the ballot. If he gets ten thousand people to show

912
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 1: up on five thousand, I'm still working with your plug.

913
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: I'm working with your work. I'm knocking something off chip

914
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: by chip Rock for Rockney. We're gonna rock for Rockney

915
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 1: until somebody get out that seat. That is how the

916
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 1: game works. And then they come to eight and they say,

917
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 1: hey man, what does it take to get you to

918
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 1: sit down? I'm just speaking. I'm speaking against determined doesn't work,

919
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: turn down? What do it take you to sit down?

920
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess you can buy my ship

921
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: for ten, fifteen, twenty, maybe, I don't know. You know

922
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: what I'm saying that that's the same It works the

923
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 1: same way fun voting for them. You you gotta learn

924
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 1: how to use them street tactics, and then publicly the

925
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 1: same ship are doing record business or anything. Just like

926
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: when motherfucker's complain and talk about, you know, we're old,

927
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: we shouldn't be hosting shows. It's the young man's generation,

928
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 1: And I say, same thing, why should you stop your ship?

929
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: So it's all about it's all about how you attack

930
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,359
Speaker 1: motherfucker's and basically how you get people to support you.

931
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 1: And if you got a gang of supporters already and

932
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 1: people still rolling with you, then why not suck that.

933
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 1: You have to stay true to yourself, that's it, and

934
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:22,280
Speaker 1: the threat alone we'll make them move. It's about getting

935
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: at the table and having a conversation on negotiations. But

936
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: you might suck around and win. Just like Trump, he

937
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: wasn't planning on winning exactly. He was just going there

938
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: doing a bunch of drive bys and sunk around and

939
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: knock the whole hood out. Ye. I mean, he never

940
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: had no anticipation. That's what I tell people all day.

941
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 1: He never anticipated on winning. He just figured, let me

942
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: just come up in here and work up a gang

943
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,800
Speaker 1: of bullshit, knock everything around and should dry the price

944
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 1: up a little bit, and I'm gonna slide out and

945
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 1: in discreet. But then the motherfucker turned around and one

946
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: and was like those shooting That's it, I'm telling you.

947
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: It is just like the Doug game, just like the game.

948
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: I just want people to know it so they can

949
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: see it, because when I tell homies they'll be like

950
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: at first, they's getting mad. You. You don't have to

951
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: explain to me that way. I can understand. I know

952
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: you can understand me talking to you regular. I put

953
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 1: it in that terminology because I want you to understand

954
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 1: how this ship is exactly like the streets. It's not

955
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 1: kind of like it, it is exactly like the streets.

956
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: I'm doing a series now called Trapping Politics will Revolt TV,

957
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 1: and it's an eight week series where I'm breaking down

958
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: trapping and talking about politics. And it's not that I'm saying, oh,

959
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: black people only understand dope selling. That's not what I'm saying.

960
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: I want you to know that you know their game

961
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: better than they know their game, because you know why.

962
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:43,720
Speaker 1: There was a certain amount of loyalty, a certain amount

963
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 1: of discipline, a certain amount of integrity that street niggas

964
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: got that they'll never have because they didn't have they

965
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 1: didn't have this the DP, the discipline, the the older

966
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: homie that Toll put their ass off the set up

967
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: beat their ass. See, they're able to do whatever they

968
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 1: want to do, so they didn't come up with the

969
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 1: same type of integrity you know what I mean to

970
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 1: be solid. So the streets bring a different type of

971
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: thing in the political space that they just simply don't have.

972
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 1: I was telling Charlemagne, said, you know, I told another day,

973
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 1: I said, the hood can always cross over to them,

974
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: but they can never cross over to the hood because

975
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: to be from the streets, that's a lived experience. I

976
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 1: can teach you anything you need to know about how

977
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 1: they move, but they could never learn what you know.

978
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 1: And that's what makes you a dangerous ass nigger that

979
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:35,879
Speaker 1: alone to them. Yeah, and I think, and that's why

980
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: it was important for us to get you on here,

981
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 1: because a lot of us don't know the power we possess.

982
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,919
Speaker 1: We know everything. For me talking to you over these

983
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 1: past six weeks, I found out that this is a

984
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,399
Speaker 1: lot of ship I already knew, Like when you broke

985
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 1: down the whole thing to me that one day, I said, Okay,

986
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 1: it's simple. It's almost like you're discovering the thing. And Um,

987
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,280
Speaker 1: one thing you said earlier really stuck with me. Um

988
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,760
Speaker 1: because I'm I got one of them old school mamas.

989
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: She's been voting Democrats since she since she could vote right.

990
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of us that think they have

991
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,839
Speaker 1: to be a Democrat. Then you've got some people I'm

992
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: seeing more and more people like the sister Candice Owners

993
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 1: that's you know, she just far republican. You know what

994
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 1: I mean? What is it called? She leans to the right,

995
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: you know the way. It's like, I think we need

996
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: to get rid of all that ship. I think the

997
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 1: system is so fucked up, right and now the whole

998
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 1: Democrat Republican thing, it seemed like a whole bunch of bullshit.

999
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: And that's why you got brothers like James that sit

1000
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,319
Speaker 1: back and say, you know what, this ship don't mean

1001
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 1: nothing to me, No way fucking why should I go

1002
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: out to vote? And I mean, and it makes sense.

1003
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: I understand. That's why I left being a Democrat and

1004
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 1: came independent. The bottom line is, we just gotta mix

1005
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:49,479
Speaker 1: this ship up. Stop voting for them. Clanning. You're gonna

1006
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 1: be the plug, You're gonna be the one. Do you know.

1007
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 1: I was a director of communications for a lady in Orlando, Florida.

1008
00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 1: She was arrested twenty one times. Felling Want ran her

1009
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:05,840
Speaker 1: first time, won her first time. She ran against seven people.

1010
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: One of the person one of the people she ran

1011
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: against was former Miss America. Everybody laughed because they said

1012
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 1: there's no way she could win. She beat their ass

1013
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: like a drum because she had a connection to the streets.

1014
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 1: When we really started looking at these races, I guarantee

1015
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 1: you you say, hey, I live in this zip code

1016
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 1: already know whatever those seats are. It ain't number of thousand,

1017
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 1: two thousand people that's making a difference. You can go

1018
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 1: in and sneak move that ship. Take that ain't no

1019
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 1: different than going up and setting up and setting up

1020
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 1: shop in somebody's city out of town. Just go get

1021
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:35,880
Speaker 1: the right one. They'll come back. They'll come back with

1022
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 1: about ten long So you're telling you don't expect me

1023
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: to know how that ship work in the streets. That

1024
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,400
Speaker 1: scared the ship out On the last time Bloods and

1025
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: Cribs got together, I did a whole poem about it

1026
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: when I said, you know, it was all they needed

1027
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 1: to get those real g's off the street. That's when

1028
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 1: Mads in carceration of ninety four crime Bill can the

1029
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 1: last time when Bloods and Christ said, you know what

1030
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 1: that we're gonna do something different, like look at the

1031
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:08,839
Speaker 1: system and how it was all set up, you know

1032
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 1: for a reason, because we hadn't had that type of

1033
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: influence and power and muscle since Black Panthers. So I

1034
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,839
Speaker 1: know that it's there. You we just gotta go await

1035
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 1: niggers up. And for people who are saying, oh people

1036
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: too old, no no, no, no no, you need every

1037
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 1: level because you need wisdom, knowledge and understanding. You just

1038
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: like you got young dudes pushing the line, active doing

1039
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: what they do, and you got big homies that do

1040
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 1: what they do. It's just a matter of respect, you

1041
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,320
Speaker 1: know what, everybody understanding what they bring to the table.

1042
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you you can do this ship. I

1043
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 1: know you can. I've seen it done. Yeah you know what,

1044
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,280
Speaker 1: um like you said, you keep bringing up Trump. Trump

1045
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: is actually probably the most gangster motherfucker I don't seen

1046
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: in the White House effort in my lifetime. He is.

1047
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: He is, indeed that, and it's not in for clarity

1048
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: what makes him different because all of them do their

1049
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: gangster ship behind the scenes. He do the drive by

1050
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 1: with no mask on. That's that's a difference between Trump.

1051
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 1: He goes straight up to you. He want to be

1052
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 1: straight up with it. He wants you to know he

1053
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,839
Speaker 1: did it. That's it. That's all. He pushed the line

1054
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 1: for a set. It really happens like that every time.

1055
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: They're just good at bullshit and the American public. But

1056
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 1: in order to be in charge of the American government,

1057
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 1: to rob steal pillage from everybody in this country, you

1058
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,879
Speaker 1: have to be a gangster. That's a part of the job.

1059
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 1: He definitely because he's pretty much seeing like to me,

1060
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,280
Speaker 1: he kind of just out there working with people's minds

1061
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 1: right now because he's trying to create like kind of

1062
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,840
Speaker 1: some doubt and people in the system. Now, they cheated

1063
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,399
Speaker 1: me because I see so many white people out here. White.

1064
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 1: But I was in the bank that they heard. The

1065
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 1: white person said, yeah, they pretty much stole the office

1066
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 1: from him. They cheated and you know, he didn't really lose.

1067
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 1: And I said, man, he really got these people convinced

1068
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: that he didn't lose. Right when he's organizing the set,

1069
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 1: don't have nothing to do with right now. He's playing

1070
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 1: long ball. That's why he's telling people in Georgia, Hay

1071
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,879
Speaker 1: telling Republicans don't vote. Why would you not want your

1072
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: own party to vote. He wants Democrats in charge so

1073
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 1: that in four years he can say, look at how

1074
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: Democrats sucked it up. Y'all need to put me back

1075
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:17,839
Speaker 1: in office. That's all it is. So you think he's

1076
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 1: he's setting up another round right now if he's if

1077
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 1: he's not running, he's gonna be running it one or two.

1078
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 1: You either running? Are you running it? You can either

1079
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: run office or you can put somebody else in the

1080
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: spot and you can run it. But you really really

1081
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: got the people believing he putting in work. Let's break

1082
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: it down the gangster terms. If somebody take out one

1083
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 1: of your homies back when you was active, what y'all

1084
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 1: do after that? Don't you go put in work? Yeahs?

1085
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: Do you just sit back and just sit back and

1086
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: letting nick? No, you put it in work. They're showing

1087
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 1: up at funerals, they're go on people's houses, they're doing

1088
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: all that. Ship that's what Trump is doing. That's it. Yeah,

1089
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,399
Speaker 1: and um like, like you know, we've got so many

1090
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 1: people like it's a lot of confusion now here for

1091
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 1: people like you got movements like the Black Lives Matter movement. Right, well,

1092
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:11,840
Speaker 1: let me let me, let me make sure because I

1093
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 1: want to make sure you ain't heard what I said.

1094
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 1: Let me, I'm sorry, I want to make sure I

1095
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: clarify that when let's just go back to being active

1096
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,799
Speaker 1: when somebody would kill a homie because you said you

1097
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:25,760
Speaker 1: made the comment he really got people be leaving he lost.

1098
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: So what you're basically saying is they don't have no

1099
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 1: evidence if he lost or one right, no evidence, They're

1100
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:35,399
Speaker 1: just moving based on what he say. Right, m let's

1101
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: translate this to gangster ship. Somebody kill a homie? Is

1102
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 1: anybody waiting on evidence to see if it really was

1103
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 1: this said or that's said, or who did it or

1104
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 1: who didn't do it, or waiting on trial or waiting

1105
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: on the court, or do they gonna put it in

1106
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 1: work immediately? They're going to work off as some show

1107
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 1: what they think. Yeah, especially when if it's beefing with

1108
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 1: a particular neighborhood, just gonna suspect that it was the

1109
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:05,839
Speaker 1: neighborhood that we got the almost beef with. Now sometimes

1110
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,719
Speaker 1: it could be a bambooze on it that it could

1111
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 1: be a nigga from a difference set who wants us

1112
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 1: to get into it with another mega said who somehow

1113
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 1: you know, maybe they dude had a different hat on

1114
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:21,320
Speaker 1: with the hood logo on it and drop it. And

1115
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 1: so now we're suspecting that it might be the niggas

1116
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 1: from Crosstown when it might be the niggas from around

1117
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:28,840
Speaker 1: the corner. I mean, so you had you had a

1118
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 1: lot of that too, and it thwarts us. But ship

1119
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 1: it really just came down to anybody could get it

1120
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 1: that the homeboy got Fuck it. We're beef in with

1121
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 1: who right now? Who we're deeping with real? Okay, So

1122
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:50,879
Speaker 1: that's it, and ain't nobody investigation. We're putting in work,

1123
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 1: period and if nothing else, even even even if you're

1124
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 1: wrong with your assumption, you're still making you're still making

1125
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:01,879
Speaker 1: the position to say, well, if if it wasn't y'all,

1126
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:03,799
Speaker 1: y'all know not to funk with us. Now, you see

1127
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 1: what I'm saying exactly. Trump is doing the same thing

1128
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,360
Speaker 1: you you buck when you took my seat. The courts

1129
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 1: and all of that. We're putting in work. We're doing

1130
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 1: drive bys. Get everybody riled up, everybody, get up, be upset,

1131
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 1: be mad at these democrats. Don't go vote, don't go

1132
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 1: this I'll hollyback of y'all. That's it. It's the same thing. Literally, Hey,

1133
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 1: big James, what was she saying? Man? Because she was

1134
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 1: trying to say something? Yeah what what? Everse? What ese

1135
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people getting funked up too, tays because

1136
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 1: it's a lot of and I'm not trying to put

1137
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 1: no words in nobody's mouth, right, but black lives matter, Um,

1138
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 1: some of these other groups. You know, I saw one

1139
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 1: weekend in Chicago, We're like, um, three or four look

1140
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 1: kids got killed, right, three or four Look kids got

1141
00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 1: shot up and ship it wasn't no and you know

1142
00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 1: it people that was mad deppearonce you know, of course

1143
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 1: appearance the family members was upset. They grieving, right, But

1144
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 1: to me, it should have been some discipline handed down.

1145
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 1: M It should be somebody in Chicago, somebody somewhere in

1146
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: the city. You know that when this ship goes down,

1147
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:20,360
Speaker 1: where we are there killing each other because it's up

1148
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 1: that's out there doing a majority of this ship to

1149
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: us right now, Well, what I'll say on that, Uh,

1150
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 1: there's also a theory out there that it's not just

1151
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 1: us doing that, that those are calculated, you know, to

1152
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 1: make it look like it's us. But I don't want

1153
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 1: to get a conspiracy theories. But what I would say

1154
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 1: still is there's absolutely black on black crime, just like

1155
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 1: his white on white crime, Asian on Asian crime, Hispanic

1156
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: on Hispanic crime. That's not an issue that I spend

1157
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 1: a lot of time addressing. And the reason why is

1158
00:58:55,680 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 1: because the networks that I'm on, especially conservative, they like

1159
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 1: to use that as a way to not deal with

1160
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:07,600
Speaker 1: their ship, you know what I mean. And I know

1161
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 1: we have our issues, and that's why you have advocates

1162
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 1: out there that are putting in work every day to

1163
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 1: change people's life, just like you're talking, you know, trying

1164
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 1: to change people like But for me, I'm pushing the

1165
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 1: line on something different because I cannot allow them to

1166
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 1: take my words to use that against the fact that

1167
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 1: when we're talking about police brutality, I'm not saying that

1168
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:30,440
Speaker 1: more black people don't kill black people. There's always in

1169
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 1: a racial murder in any community. If a white person

1170
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 1: is murdered is usually by someone in their community. My

1171
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 1: push with police brutality is not a matter of who's

1172
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 1: doing the most damage to us. It's about who has

1173
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 1: the power to do the most damage to us. If

1174
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 1: Pooky shoot somebody and Pooky and Pooky get called. Pooky

1175
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 1: asks going to jail. If the police do it, he

1176
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 1: goes on administrative leave. So I don't like comparing the

1177
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 1: those things to say, oh, well, it's really us or

1178
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 1: it's really that, because those are talking points that conservatives

1179
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 1: try to use to not deal with the fact that

1180
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 1: we're talking about a system of racism. From slavery to

1181
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 1: Jim Crow, I mean a slavery to share cropping to

1182
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 1: Jim Crow, to mask incarceration, you know, all of those

1183
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 1: things that embody what we're dealing with, and they're two

1184
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 1: totally different conversations. And it's kind of like they call

1185
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 1: her or what about it is? Um. It's like if

1186
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 1: you're my man and I asked you where was you

1187
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 1: at last night? And you say, well, what about where

1188
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 1: you was at last week? Now I'm asking you where

1189
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 1: you was at last night. So I like to keep

1190
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:41,400
Speaker 1: the main thing the main thing in my political space.

1191
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:44,880
Speaker 1: But it's I think these conversations need to be had.

1192
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:47,280
Speaker 1: I just try to make sure that when I'm pushing

1193
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 1: this line that is real clear you know where I'm

1194
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 1: zero on in on my target, because I don't ever

1195
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 1: want no confusion on on what on the attention I'm

1196
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 1: trying to bring to to this having a gun, having

1197
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 1: a gun and a badge and being able to get

1198
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 1: away with it because laws are in place that all

1199
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 1: you gotta do is say I was scared of a

1200
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 1: black man and you get off. That's a problem, and

1201
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:09,800
Speaker 1: I can dig it and don't get a twist that

1202
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 1: me and you are very much on the same plage.

1203
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 1: And I think I'm talking about it now because it's

1204
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 1: just us on you know, even though we're talking to

1205
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 1: the world, it's just us having a conversation because you know,

1206
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 1: we're don'ta do interviews on this motherfucker. We have conversations.

1207
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 1: But seeing the thing about what conversations with me don't see,

1208
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:27,480
Speaker 1: they'll take this clip from this conversation and run with

1209
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 1: this ship. So I gotta be careful even though I'm

1210
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 1: who who who, I'm who I am all the time,

1211
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:36,760
Speaker 1: but I've had it done to me. I said that, uh,

1212
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:41,919
Speaker 1: people were more concerned about immigration. Meanwhile, more black men

1213
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 1: were enslaved, are imprisoned, and those who were enslaved in

1214
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 1: eighteen fifty. Because I said that on Fox, they took

1215
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 1: that one clip completely out of context wrote three a

1216
01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 1: piece hit pieces about me and demanded I lose my contract.

1217
01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 1: And I didn't lose my contract, which is why they

1218
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 1: got sued. So this this game, I know how they'd

1219
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 1: like to play this bullshit with me. So everything take

1220
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 1: a little clip. But so yeah, I'm glad you put

1221
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 1: your disclaimer out there, because I wush you on that.

1222
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:10,920
Speaker 1: I don't want them to ever get it funked up

1223
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 1: and say, whoa, it's because of this or or that.

1224
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:16,600
Speaker 1: You understand what I mean. But I do think that

1225
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 1: we need to hold each other accountable for some ship too,

1226
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. We need to we need

1227
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 1: to really cut the bullshit out that we're doing, because

1228
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 1: right now I think we really in um. I told

1229
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 1: James the other day, I think I was telling eight

1230
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 1: to I think we really imperilous times right now. I

1231
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 1: think we just like I think we're right there at

1232
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 1: the boiling point, you know, you know what I'm saying.

1233
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 1: I think that water about to run over. So we

1234
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 1: really need to get our ship together out here. And

1235
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 1: I think it's important for us to have these conversations.

1236
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 1: I do, and I and I completely support it. I'm

1237
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:52,479
Speaker 1: just saying, just like you got different sets, different people

1238
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 1: pushing different ships. I'm pushing this line, you know what

1239
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 1: I mean. I support all of that, but I gotta stay,

1240
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 1: you know, focused on what I'm doing because it's not

1241
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people that's doing what I'm doing too.

1242
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,520
Speaker 1: But that's why you guys are here, you know, to

1243
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:09,520
Speaker 1: be able to have conversations with young men that I

1244
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 1: could never have and never and that's why. And that's

1245
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 1: not to cut you off, but that's why I do

1246
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 1: always try to come from a place to understand, and

1247
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:22,919
Speaker 1: even if it's ship that I really don't understand, because

1248
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. When I first heard that such

1249
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:29,959
Speaker 1: a candide owns is that her name? I really didn't

1250
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 1: know how to feel about her. M h. I really didn't.

1251
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm just being honest. And if any nigure out there

1252
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 1: say they thought, oh no, you were tripping, No, your

1253
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:40,800
Speaker 1: ass thought the same thing out did us? Said, what

1254
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 1: the funk is wrong with this woman right there? What

1255
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 1: do you think she's a product of? Not that I

1256
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 1: want you to speak on nobody else, nothing like that.

1257
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 1: But I've noticed that it's more and more of us

1258
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:57,280
Speaker 1: that's developing that same mindset that she got. What do

1259
01:03:57,320 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 1: you think they developed from. I mean, I can't speak

1260
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 1: on her because I've only met her casually and a

1261
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 1: couple of different you know, um environments. I would say

1262
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 1: that her and I were different women, and it's no

1263
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 1: different and we come from different places and and the same.

1264
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:19,919
Speaker 1: I won't say she let me put it this way.

1265
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:24,760
Speaker 1: Conservatives offered me a hell of an opportunity to, you know,

1266
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 1: to support President Trump that I didn't take, you know, um.

1267
01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 1: So I can speak on her business personally, but I

1268
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 1: just know that there are black conservatives and a lot

1269
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 1: of our views. We have a lot of conservative views

1270
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 1: when you just look at especially when you talk about

1271
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:43,840
Speaker 1: Generation X and how we were raised and our grandparents

1272
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 1: and so forth. So there's black conservatives out there. And

1273
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 1: I think she has a job to do, in a

1274
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 1: role to play. And she says she's believed, she believes

1275
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:53,280
Speaker 1: in what she believes in, and that's it. I mean,

1276
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:55,600
Speaker 1: I don't spend time I've been on on step with her.

1277
01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 1: She's always been respectful to me. You know, I don't.

1278
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 1: I don't go back and forth with comments haters because

1279
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 1: I don't this Twitter ship. I don't. We we can

1280
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 1: meet up, you know what I mean? Talk about a

1281
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 1: face to face as far as I'm concerned. Um, I

1282
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 1: just did an interview on my show with Angela Staton,

1283
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:12,600
Speaker 1: who is a Republican and supports transfer. She from the

1284
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 1: streets for real, for real, I felt I had a

1285
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:16,880
Speaker 1: lot in comment with her and we had a disagreement

1286
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:18,439
Speaker 1: on Twitter, and I said, come to the show, let's

1287
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:20,200
Speaker 1: talk about it, because I'm not ducking no wreck. We

1288
01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:25,280
Speaker 1: can have a conversation about it. We can run that. Yeah,

1289
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:28,640
Speaker 1: that's it, that's it. And it was a great It

1290
01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 1: was a great conversation. You know, I hope you're gonna

1291
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 1: check it out. People kept saying, oh, she gonna she's

1292
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:34,480
Speaker 1: gonna drag you, and she gon. First of all, don't

1293
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 1: nobody dragged me? And number two, I don't know how

1294
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 1: anybody could drag somebody on Zoom. This ship is Zoom

1295
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 1: and it ain't like we're meeting up at the park.

1296
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 1: And so you know what I mean, like somebody really

1297
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 1: faith what are y'all talking about? So this internet gang

1298
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 1: bang and I don't I don't get it. But like

1299
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 1: I said, hey, she pushing the line for what she

1300
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:55,640
Speaker 1: doing and that's it. That's all. And Hey, more Power

1301
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:58,480
Speaker 1: Tour and a white husband, and everything she's doing, she

1302
01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 1: don't move me like that. I don't pay attention to that.

1303
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:03,440
Speaker 1: And that's what I'm saying. And you know what, let

1304
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 1: me clearify something. This ain't just about her, I was saying.

1305
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 1: The thing that trusts me out is that it's actually

1306
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 1: a whole lot of hers out there. Yeah, but there's

1307
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:15,160
Speaker 1: a lot of black, but there's a lot of black Conservatives.

1308
01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 1: When you talk about conservative, when you talk about business,

1309
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:21,480
Speaker 1: you don't even Democrats talking about the importance of businesses.

1310
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 1: You you're I'm talking about programs and government programs, but

1311
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 1: you don't even talking about business. That's a concerned Republican thing,

1312
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:29,840
Speaker 1: not a conservative, but a republican thing. When you talk

1313
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 1: about freedom to be able to do what it is

1314
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 1: you want to do in states rights, that's a uh

1315
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 1: republican and conservative thing. Right now. In California, you guys

1316
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:42,920
Speaker 1: can't move. Guess what. COVID is still in place, no

1317
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 1: different than it is in Texas. But people are able

1318
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 1: to still live, make their money. We gotta mad, you

1319
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:50,680
Speaker 1: gotta wear a mask, and that's it. That's all California.

1320
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:52,960
Speaker 1: Next year gonna really be fucked up based on how

1321
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:55,880
Speaker 1: how y'all moving. And I'm not saying that people shouldn't

1322
01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:58,560
Speaker 1: take COVID serious. What I'm saying is to keep shutting

1323
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 1: down an economy over an old run over, there's going

1324
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 1: to be side effects. So everybody don't want to Everybody

1325
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:09,280
Speaker 1: don't want to live under liberal philosophies. California is very liberal.

1326
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 1: So there's always been black concpt my grandmother. I had

1327
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 1: a hood side of my family and the church side

1328
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:17,440
Speaker 1: of my family. I know the Bible just as well

1329
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:20,600
Speaker 1: as I know the streets. So I think there's a

1330
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 1: lot of black conservatives and and how we every everybody

1331
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 1: is not into abortion. Everybody don't support LGBT. A lot

1332
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 1: of black men don't. They just made it so more

1333
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 1: conservatives than what people think. You know. Um, But if

1334
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:38,320
Speaker 1: she's somebody that I relate to, I think she makes

1335
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:40,840
Speaker 1: some good points, just like a lot of conservatives make

1336
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 1: good points, and I think Democrats made good points. She

1337
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:46,439
Speaker 1: just moves differently and says ship differently about black people

1338
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:48,800
Speaker 1: that I will never say. But I also wouldn't say

1339
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:50,480
Speaker 1: a lot of ships that I see Democrats say too.

1340
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:52,520
Speaker 1: They put down black people too. That's why I don't

1341
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 1: get into those conversations about what we're doing wrong because

1342
01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:58,480
Speaker 1: I'm a political commentator and I want to make sure

1343
01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:00,600
Speaker 1: they know I'm I'm I'm on they head. Don't I

1344
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:02,960
Speaker 1: worry about my people? What deal my people? But when

1345
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 1: I'm on this two and this TV and this zoom

1346
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:08,040
Speaker 1: and whatever I'm doing, I'm on their head. Well that

1347
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 1: was one of the things that sucked me up about Biden.

1348
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:12,520
Speaker 1: I looked at some of his campaign ship and he

1349
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 1: has some battle rap shot on there, and I said,

1350
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:16,599
Speaker 1: damn this. Do think all they gotta do to get

1351
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:20,720
Speaker 1: our votes is make a rap video? Well I was

1352
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 1: kind of offended by that. I'm not going front and um, well,

1353
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:27,800
Speaker 1: I won't say. I won't say that's feel like all

1354
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 1: they gotta do, because, like I said, I have a

1355
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:33,120
Speaker 1: trapp in Politics series. I think hip hop is extremely

1356
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:38,000
Speaker 1: uh influence, a big influence, as it should be. Um,

1357
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 1: I won't say I think that's all, but I will

1358
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:43,600
Speaker 1: say that the operatives around him think that that is

1359
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:45,800
Speaker 1: the way to our heart. But when you look at

1360
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:48,560
Speaker 1: where we spend our money and how we're influence is

1361
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:51,000
Speaker 1: by hip hop. So it's not like he just made

1362
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 1: it up out his ass, not just him any candidate.

1363
01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 1: It's not like they just made it up at the ass.

1364
01:08:57,320 --> 01:09:00,760
Speaker 1: They see hip hop moving people. So from a market standpoint,

1365
01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:03,360
Speaker 1: what what way are you feel like you're gonna get

1366
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:05,720
Speaker 1: some more people hire about? Well, you know one thing

1367
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:10,680
Speaker 1: about it. I would never apply nothing like that to you.

1368
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 1: I think the way you're doing it is I think

1369
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 1: what you're doing is genius. I've told you that before.

1370
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 1: I think the difference is I'm trying to find the

1371
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:23,360
Speaker 1: right phrasing for it. Um, it's facing phone. I don't

1372
01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 1: think it's. What I'm saying is if you own the

1373
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 1: marketing company and you said, how do I get to

1374
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:34,200
Speaker 1: this target market? And the target market is heavily influenced

1375
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 1: by hip hop, common said, I'm ain't talking about the politician.

1376
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:41,679
Speaker 1: Common sense is gonna say, relate to that market based

1377
01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:45,760
Speaker 1: upon what they consume. And we're big hip hop consumers.

1378
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 1: So even though it's corny and lame as hell and

1379
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:51,519
Speaker 1: fake and pandering, I agree with all of that. I'm

1380
01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:54,600
Speaker 1: just saying it's not hard science to figure out, you know,

1381
01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:57,840
Speaker 1: why they do it because we're so heavily influenced by

1382
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:01,200
Speaker 1: hip hop. You know what I mean? So I get it.

1383
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 1: It's up to us to call it out. I had

1384
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:06,920
Speaker 1: a poem where I said, the days of using hip

1385
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:10,599
Speaker 1: hop as a political fundraising gimmick without accountability to heal

1386
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:13,760
Speaker 1: the story to hip hop tells is over. So we

1387
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:16,720
Speaker 1: have to hold them accountable. I'm not mad that you

1388
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 1: that you use hip hop. I'm mad that hip hop

1389
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 1: is not saying, hey, if you're gonna use the record,

1390
01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:27,559
Speaker 1: you need to address every lyric in here, the property

1391
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:30,000
Speaker 1: in my community, to this, to that. So hip hop

1392
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:32,559
Speaker 1: allowing themselves to be used as the mistress. That ain't

1393
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:35,880
Speaker 1: on them. That's on us. Yeah, that's on us. And

1394
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:39,120
Speaker 1: we allowed a lot of stuff from and I understood,

1395
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:41,519
Speaker 1: like a lot of people who kind of drug cute

1396
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:45,280
Speaker 1: when he did what he did. But like I told somebody,

1397
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 1: he's doing what he in my opinion, he did what's

1398
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:50,760
Speaker 1: supposed to be done. Go fore and see what these

1399
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:56,080
Speaker 1: motherfucker's is offering. What are they gonna do? Because um,

1400
01:10:56,120 --> 01:10:58,040
Speaker 1: all I know is that the other people told them

1401
01:10:58,040 --> 01:10:59,800
Speaker 1: will wait after the election to come back and we

1402
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 1: see what they do, you know, because I just think

1403
01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:04,599
Speaker 1: we're in a place to wear them all of these

1404
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:08,799
Speaker 1: motherfucker's lying, Well, guess what the election is over Cube

1405
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:10,639
Speaker 1: saying he going back. So now we get to see

1406
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:13,679
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do. Yeah, because you're Time's gonna tell.

1407
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 1: Time's gonna always tell. You know what I'm saying, Who

1408
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:20,639
Speaker 1: really about this ship or not? My question is if

1409
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:23,080
Speaker 1: they don't do it, who's gonna stand up and rock

1410
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:24,880
Speaker 1: with Cube and say, Hey, these mothers don't do what

1411
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 1: they say they're gonna do. That's what I'm trying to

1412
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:27,960
Speaker 1: get people do. Who we who we gonna come put

1413
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:32,320
Speaker 1: on blasts m because that's need to happen. We need

1414
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 1: to really shot. Yeah, we need to really put people.

1415
01:11:35,479 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 1: You know, a thing is and I don't think people

1416
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:41,320
Speaker 1: understand to us. One thing that really tripped me out,

1417
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:45,680
Speaker 1: and sometimes you can't take stuff for granted, right, you

1418
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:48,880
Speaker 1: can't take stuff for granted. Um. I've been with James

1419
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:52,280
Speaker 1: multiple occasions and it always trist me out with somebody

1420
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 1: recognize him or when I'm somewhere and they say, man,

1421
01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 1: I know you from somewhere where I know you're from.

1422
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 1: We have a lot of influence with these platforms that

1423
01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:05,639
Speaker 1: we blessed to have, and we really needed. One thing

1424
01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:08,720
Speaker 1: that you've made me start being conscious of is to

1425
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:10,920
Speaker 1: use this influence in the right way and not use

1426
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 1: it over some bullshit to promote some bullshit. That's why

1427
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:17,200
Speaker 1: we just don't have anybody on the platform. You see

1428
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:20,080
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It has to be something that's gonna edify,

1429
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:24,600
Speaker 1: somebody that's gonna educate, somebody that's gon tech, somebody, you know.

1430
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:26,920
Speaker 1: And I think we definitely need to start holding people,

1431
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:30,720
Speaker 1: um these other people accountable for their lives because ever

1432
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:34,719
Speaker 1: since I could vote, everybody comes in promises some ship,

1433
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:37,040
Speaker 1: like motherfucker Trump came in and we're building the wall,

1434
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:39,280
Speaker 1: Not that I necessarily want him to build a wall,

1435
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 1: but even demented that ship he talked about nobody does.

1436
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:47,400
Speaker 1: But rump Barack Obama didn't do shit either. Well he did.

1437
01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:51,560
Speaker 1: He did something for plenty of communities, just not necessarily

1438
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:54,640
Speaker 1: to our satisfaction. So again, it just comes down to

1439
01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 1: the same thing. Who's gonna make the noise, the squeaky

1440
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 1: wheel gets the oil. That's how it worked, That's how

1441
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:05,800
Speaker 1: I work in the streets, That's how it worked in politics.

1442
01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:08,639
Speaker 1: Just apply the same gangster ship to politics. It ain't

1443
01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:12,880
Speaker 1: no different, and you'll start to see a difference playing.

1444
01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:14,360
Speaker 1: And we got four years to do it because the

1445
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:16,280
Speaker 1: next four years is gonna be on in popping. And

1446
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:18,519
Speaker 1: when you look at why do you think Charlotte Maine,

1447
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:20,680
Speaker 1: you know, he's been doing all these interviews in the

1448
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:24,320
Speaker 1: last four years. He landed interviews that people who have

1449
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:28,800
Speaker 1: been in the business just in politics alone, they don't

1450
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:31,280
Speaker 1: have the opportunities that he's getting. Why because he asked

1451
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:34,559
Speaker 1: real questions and he's and he talks to millions of

1452
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:38,080
Speaker 1: people in a demographic that a lot of people say,

1453
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:39,600
Speaker 1: you know what funk that if we don't feel like

1454
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:41,000
Speaker 1: you're doing right by us, we're gonna go in a

1455
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:43,559
Speaker 1: different direction. That's what makes Charlotte. That's what makes them

1456
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:46,280
Speaker 1: fear Charlotte Maine because he can call he can make

1457
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 1: them funk up in front of people. He did it

1458
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:51,840
Speaker 1: with him, he did it with Joe Biden. That's the key,

1459
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:54,799
Speaker 1: that's where the power is. As long as we stopped

1460
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:57,040
Speaker 1: protecting them and push your ownline, we're gonna be good

1461
01:13:57,080 --> 01:13:58,559
Speaker 1: and you're gonna see because we're gonna have some fun

1462
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 1: in the next four years and t Yeah, And he's

1463
01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 1: definitely that's the thing I love about that dude too.

1464
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:07,800
Speaker 1: He definitely don't put on no airs for no, motherfucker,

1465
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:10,080
Speaker 1: he asked some ship. Sometimes I'd be like, no, he

1466
01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:16,080
Speaker 1: didn't ask him that all my nigga. You know, you

1467
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:19,600
Speaker 1: gotta do more of that and support that. And you know,

1468
01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:21,160
Speaker 1: even when he was telling me like, oh, you need

1469
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:23,240
Speaker 1: to go work on such a campaign. Now, man, I'm

1470
01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:25,400
Speaker 1: not working on ship. I'll be right here on this microphone.

1471
01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:27,280
Speaker 1: You want me on the microphone. You don't want me

1472
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:30,200
Speaker 1: on nobody's payroll, because once you're on somebody's payroll, the

1473
01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:32,160
Speaker 1: lips gotta shut up. And we don't want that. You

1474
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:35,600
Speaker 1: want me wide open it real, you know, speaking to

1475
01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:39,320
Speaker 1: your speaking to your platform. Let's talk about that a

1476
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:45,040
Speaker 1: little bit straight shot, No, Chase, how did that situation

1477
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 1: come about with you and Charlotte Mane um Well? I

1478
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:50,760
Speaker 1: met him on the Bernie Sanders campaign. Um I was

1479
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:55,559
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders National Racial Justice Director and he worked He

1480
01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:59,160
Speaker 1: didn't work on the campaign, but we um he hosted

1481
01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:03,040
Speaker 1: an event with Ernie Sanders in New York at Harlem

1482
01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:06,280
Speaker 1: and we just connected then and over the years to

1483
01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:08,160
Speaker 1: develop and a lot of that had to do with

1484
01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:09,760
Speaker 1: kill him, Mike. Shout out to the home and kill

1485
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:12,559
Speaker 1: him Mike. He really just believe in me. You know,

1486
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:15,519
Speaker 1: he really does. People say I'm like a female killer Mike,

1487
01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:17,840
Speaker 1: that's just the homie, and he just, you know, really

1488
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:20,360
Speaker 1: forged that relationship. It was like, you know, Tesla, you

1489
01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:21,920
Speaker 1: really need to have her on the show so you

1490
01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:24,599
Speaker 1: can hear what she has to say. And um, Charlotta

1491
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:26,679
Speaker 1: Magne talked about Fox News. He talks about Fox News

1492
01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:29,880
Speaker 1: all the time, even now, And I said, why don't

1493
01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:31,519
Speaker 1: you let me come on and talk about why I

1494
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:34,760
Speaker 1: actually go to Fox News? And that meant a lot

1495
01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:37,080
Speaker 1: to me because I knew. I knew my audience was

1496
01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:40,120
Speaker 1: out there, because when I go on Fox, people don't

1497
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:41,800
Speaker 1: know that I'm over there doing I'm doing. I'm talking.

1498
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:43,640
Speaker 1: Ninety percent of people I'm talking to don't want to

1499
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:46,240
Speaker 1: hear nothing I'm doing. I'm banging on the other like

1500
01:15:46,320 --> 01:15:47,960
Speaker 1: in the in the enemy's hood, do you know what

1501
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:49,720
Speaker 1: I mean? Like I don't. It's not I'm not in

1502
01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:52,080
Speaker 1: my own hood. I'm way on the other side of town.

1503
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:54,760
Speaker 1: So I knew that once I got in front of

1504
01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:57,760
Speaker 1: people that I felt could really feel me, that I

1505
01:15:57,760 --> 01:15:59,960

1597
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:48,400
Speaker 1: say is the circles I'm in, the type of men

1598

1668
01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:04,360
Speaker 1: with a woman that has her own mind. She has

1669
01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:07,800
Speaker 1: her own money and her own understanding. So you gotta

1670
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:11,559
Speaker 1: come with your understanding and make it click. She gotta feel,

1671
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:14,320
Speaker 1: She gotta feel you when when you talk, she gotta

1672
01:25:14,360 --> 01:25:18,280
Speaker 1: understand you. If she don't understand, you got the dope.

1673
01:25:21,320 --> 01:25:24,760

01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:39,800
Speaker 1: on a date or whatever, you want to be able to.

01:30:01,360 --> 01:30:03,640
Speaker 1: are trying to steer people in the right direction. You

1760
01:30:03,680 --> 01:30:08,480

1761
01:30:08,680 --> 01:30:10,719
