WEBVTT - Replay* Education By Any Means Necessary 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:01.640 I'm Tamika d. Mallory and the. 0:00:01.680 --> 0:00:03.199 Ship Boy my Son in general. 0:00:03.360 --> 0:00:05.559 We are your host of TMI. 0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:09.039 Tamika and my Son's Information, Truth, Motivation. 0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:13.200 And Inspiration, New Energy. 0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:17.720 What's going on, my son, Lennon, how you ma? I'm 0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:26.640 doing good? Drum road, drum roll. I'm just laughing because 0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:30.480 I'm so tired, so tired that it's just trying to. 0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:31.160 Hold it together. 0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:35.640 Well, you know, the season has begun where it's time 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:40.280 to travel around this country and were just saying, God, 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:43.920 shit to work with, Like honestly, like it's really really 0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:49.159 hard because well, and I think that what we do 0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:53.680 have and the only thing we have is the issues 0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:57.000 that matter to our communities, Like we really have to 0:00:57.000 --> 0:01:03.480 be focused on local people, local issues, and then how 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:08.000 those local issues play into the larger narrative in terms 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:12.080 of what's happening in our communities because every which way 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:16.600 we turn, there are I mean, these folks that we 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:23.600 fight against every day are extremely strategic and so every 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:28.199 city around this country there's some type of dynamic where 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:33.360 they have begun to make shifts in the politics on 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:37.280 the ground, whether it be inserting there is a new 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:41.480 it's not new in terms of it's never happened before, 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:48.800 but there's a reignited effort to bring black people who 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.840 don't align with our issues and put them in position 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:55.840 in communities. And so what we're dealing with now is 0:01:55.920 --> 0:02:01.760 combating the Daniel Cameron effect. That is the Attorney General 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:06.120 was the Attorney general of Louis I mean of Kentucky 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:09.720 who tried to become governor black man, and we had 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.920 to sit him down. And so we have you know, 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:16.399 this is a situation where all around the nation we're 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:20.280 seeing these types of black people popping up, and it's 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:25.160 it's it's a trying time because at the same time 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:29.320 trying to sell people that we still can do this, 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:32.560 like we still can continue to fight, we have we 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:36.880 don't need to give up that there is in fact 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:42.800 so much possibility in us like staying together and staying 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:44.440 on the wall and continuing to do the work. 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:46.880 It's really hard right now. People not interested. 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:50.160 People. 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.560 Let me not say people. It's just some people. 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.040 There's a lot of people who are very interested, but 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:58.280 there are some who and they are it's the ones. 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:01.960 That contact with the people that we've seen that have 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.880 really put blood, sweat and tears into trying to fight 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.680 for our people, right, and they just sometimes you just 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:09.440 get deflated. 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:09.840 You know. 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.400 You see certain things and you feel like you're making 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:14.880 strides and you feel like you're going forward, and then 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.919 there are certain things that just take wind out of yourselves. 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:20.239 And you know, and I say that all the time. 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.200 I see what happened to a lot of our elders 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:27.520 and our ancestors that fought and just got tired. You know, 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.920 there were some of them that made history and continued. 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:30.520 You know. 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:36.080 I was watching Harry Belafonte's one of the movies that 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:40.560 they put out of following Harry and just looking what 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:45.920 he went through in different generations, right, Like I watched 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.960 him as a young man fighting with Doctor King, right, 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:52.200 and he was there, and he was he was funding 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:52.560 the movement. 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:53.400 He was right with him. 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.680 And then doctor King told him, I feared that, you know, 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:01.200 I've integrated our people into a burning building. Hearing Doctor 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:03.600 King say that, right, and then he's still fighting. He's 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:05.920 he was confused, like what do you mean? And then 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:09.640 as he started to continue, he started to see that, right. 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.800 I seen him having conversations with you. I see them 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.480 having a conversation with the dream defenders. I see them 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:19.640 having conversations with March for Our Lives, like different generations 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:23.239 of freedom fighters and him explaining to what is happening, 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.640 like this moment is for now, what are you gonna do? 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:27.680 And each one of them like we're gonna fight, We're 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:31.120 gonna fight, And then you just see another and him 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.640 constantly explaining to you that they're trying to dismantle this, 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.000 They're gonna do everything to dismantle this. And then you 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.240 see it play out in each one. 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:40.719 Of those movies. 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.040 They're gonna attack you, they're gonna do these things, and 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.800 then watching it continue to play out. So when you 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:50.159 see that and that man died right, still trying to 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.760 give that knowledge and still trying to fight for those things. 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:54.240 But you could tell that there. 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:59.400 Was this this this feeling of are we actually gonna 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:00.279 see freedom? 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:01.080 Is it? 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.040 Like We're still gonna fight. I'm going to fight and 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:05.880 I'm going to give you this energy and I'm going 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:09.280 to talk. But you've seen the vigor, right that you've 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:12.839 seen it vigor. Now it was just an elder who 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:16.800 was knowledgeable just giving it to you, saying hopefully you 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:18.280 could take this information and do. 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.479 What we haven't been able to do. 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:24.120 Right, you know, And I understand how that happens, because 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.280 you just fight so long and you just feel like, 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:28.279 you know what I'm saying, you dig in a hole 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.080 and you don't find the bottom, you know, but you 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:33.080 when you're a fighter, you just keep digging. 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.760 Yeah, And that's exactly what we have to spread. 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:40.080 But when you're on is this beginning of the summer, 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:42.960 at least three days, I've been in a loop of 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:49.880 canceled flights and delays and six hours in this airport 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:54.360 and whatever. And I don't know that people understand the 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.040 tire tracks on your back when you're trying to get 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.880 this work done. And then when you're talking to people 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:01.919 who are like, don't come over here with that. I 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:05.400 don't want to hear it, and you want to be frustrated, 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:08.919 like man I traveled, you know. I'm trying to really 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.760 get us to be under to be sold not on candidates, 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.760 not even on any of that, but to be sold 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:19.520 on our possibility that even you could run, like Killer 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:23.040 Mike said at the BET Awards, if you could run, Like, 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:26.880 how can we use this energy to set it up. 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:27.800 For you to run? 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:28.159 You know? 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:30.600 And and and and then you. 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:32.640 Just and you have to deal with people who are 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.640 so frustrated you can't even get upset with them, because 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.279 I understand. 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:38.280 I feel that way. 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:41.120 So today is one of those days where I'm just 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:45.240 like pulling the train along. But tomorrow I'll be back 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:46.880 in there doing what I have to do. 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.280 I'm with you, man, you know some days I get 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.600 that and you gotta. That's why we got each other, right, 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.280 That's what we got in this movement. We feed off 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:56.559 each other's energy. Some days you're gonna have more energy 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:58.640 than I have. Some days I'm gonna have it for you. 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.240 So today I'm gonna you know, but you shout out 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:05.800 to my black print. You know what I'm saying. See 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:09.280 what it said, You see what to say. Run run 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.400 us ode reparations. Man, shout out to them for the 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.560 shirt I got one for you, got one for you too. 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.040 And that's what I feel like. We gotta fight for 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.360 our reparations. We're gonna have to. They're not gonna give 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:23.720 us our reparations. Every every day is a fight for 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:26.560 our reparations. And that's what our people got to understand. 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:29.760 We deserve certain things. You know what I'm saying. We 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:33.920 were denied certain things, and we built this back, this country. 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:37.680 On our back with our for free, for free, so 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:39.120 run outside reparations. 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:42.760 I know that's right. So let's see my thought of 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:43.840 the day today. 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:50.600 You know, last week awful, awful, awful, awful debate, and 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:52.960 you know some people that want to jump to awful 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:58.400 debate because Biden his performance was not at all where 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:03.880 it should be. Well, his performance is not where most 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:07.120 people would want it to be, but it actually is 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:09.960 where it should be for eighty something year old man 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.960 who has been in public service for a long time, 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:18.920 dealing with extreme stress, and also he has a stuttering disability, 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:24.040 and therefore he has some you know, a trifecta of challenges. 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.880 So no, it's not where people want it to be, 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:31.200 but he's actually not that far off from most eighty 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.240 year old people that you put them on the stage 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.199 and tell them that they need to debate. 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:37.719 At nine o'clock at night. 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:39.760 So, and I'm not even making excuses for it's not 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:41.880 my point, let me get to it. I'm just saying 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.439 people want to say that that's the only reason why 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:49.679 the debate was so terrible. But I'm also not into 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:51.480 listening to somebody who's. 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:52.360 Real quick with lies. 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.520 So and By the way, there's been some fact checkers, 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:59.840 even President Biden a few times, some of the things 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:02.280 they he said it's not one hundred percent accurate. So 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:06.960 it's not that one person that every that the president 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:11.280 was this great on this great moral standing, and then 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:16.320 Trump wasn't. Trump just is an habitual liar and a 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:20.440 very dangerous individual, and then you have him up against 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:24.760 a man who I believe there's some issues that President 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:28.040 Biden has, some blind spots that he has and in 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.320 some areas that he's committed to that I just don't 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:34.959 agree with and could never ever, ever ever comfortably say like, oh, 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:38.880 I'm for Biden because of some of his decisions and 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:42.080 the ways in which his administration has carried out their duties. 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.040 But in addition to that, I also know he's an 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.520 older man. So what it basically says to me is 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:50.199 the whole shit is a mess. Like it's a mess. 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:55.360 You got, lion, You've got a person who needs rest 0:09:55.720 --> 0:10:00.480 and relaxation. That's what people at eighty years old, people 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:06.000 should be resting from working their entire lives trying to 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:09.320 get up there, and everybody's putting this pressure on you 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:12.800 that your responsibility is to save democracy and all of 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:16.240 this and that, and yet the democracy that you are 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.520 engaged or supposed to be engaged with across the seas 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:22.880 in the Middle East, you are part of destroying that 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.360 little piece of whatever slither of democracy those folks may 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:26.800 have had. 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:30.000 So it's just all of it is. 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:35.679 I can't find super positive things anywhere, right, But here's 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:37.880 what I was going to talk about. Because then, of course, 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:41.320 the first thing that happened, which is also disingenuous, All 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:45.000 these newspapers and op eds came out quickly saying that 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.480 Joe Biden needs to resign. I mean, he needs to 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:50.679 step aside. And I don't know exactly what that means. 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:52.400 I mean, I've read a few articles. Some of it 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.680 means just go to the convention with a different candidate 0:10:55.880 --> 0:11:01.480 as the as the nominee for president, or allow the 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:05.040 process to take place where there is another candidate can emerge. 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:09.520 Some people want him to he that they believe he's 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.840 in such bad shape at this moment that he should 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:16.800 not even be able to to he should not be 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:20.400 able to continue to be the president, which we know 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.200 is not going to happen. And also, you know, we 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.480 know people that work in a white House, people who 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:32.120 have audience with President Biden all the time, and they 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.160 say there's literally nothing wrong with him. And I'm talking 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:37.440 about people that's my friends that would tell me, girl lord. 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:41.280 They've told me other things, but they they say. 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:43.720 There's literally nothing wrong with him, like you could sit 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:45.440 down and have a conversation with him. 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:47.000 But when a person. 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:50.880 Stutters, and they're older, and again the stress of the 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:54.520 job when they are when they are speaking, sometimes they 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:58.439 need extra time to process, remember and then be able 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.480 to have the conversation. That that's just a natural thing 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.120 that happens to you as you start to get older. 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.600 So so with that being said, no, he should not 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:11.920 be the nominee, not now. Now we're all the way 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:15.680 far down the road before with what he said when 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.679 he ran the first time was that he would not 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.840 run for reelection. And that's what they should have stuck 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.600 to because at that time he was a little bit younger. 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:26.960 He was a he was an older white man up 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.560 against an older white man, which probably was a good man, 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:33.240 I mean obviously because he won. But now he was 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:36.840 he's too he is too much in his senior years 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:41.160 and it is too much of a stress on his 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:44.680 whole system to try to stand up there and have 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.760 the type of debate with a man who is a 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:51.600 straight lunatic like you gotta be on your lunatic to 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.720 talk to the lunatic for real and not and not 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.880 for nothing. This this is my real thought of the 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:01.319 day about what I want to say. I'm not you know, 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:05.760 I want to focus on black folks right in our issues. 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:06.720 One. 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:10.720 People are talking about third party candidates. So first of all, 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:16.120 the way the system is set up, they have long 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:20.520 time ago rigged it to where trying to get a 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:24.280 third party candidate elected at this point they already know 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:27.520 is damn there impossible because you have the Democratic Convention 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:30.160 coming up. You also, and I get it, some people 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.520 will say, well, I'm gonna still vote for them. That's fine, 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:35.840 But the third party candidate nine times out of ten, 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.880 unless we can move an exodus of people, and it 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.760 ain't just black people, it's not just black people. You 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:45.360 need people from all races, everybody to come together. And 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:48.040 if we already divided within the black community because you 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:51.400 have people who are saying we don't want Donald Trump 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:54.320 so much that we cannot afford to take the shot. 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.160 Now I'm with it. I'm with it. 0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:00.520 If we had, if cornell Us was. 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:03.319 A real, real, real, real real. 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:07.400 Shot for us to win, not only would I be 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:10.439 behind him. And I'm still willing to listen to somebody 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.640 tell me on what we can do to get Cornell 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:18.079 on the stage at the Democratic Convention and figure out 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:20.920 how we can support him and move votes in his direction. 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.920 I'm with it, But I also sit around and talk 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:27.880 to our people, and I realized that in conversations with us, 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:31.040 we still need a lot of work to get to 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.800 the point where all of us and then some other 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:35.360 folks make that shift. 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:38.040 And this was done to us, and it's wrong. It 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:39.920 is wrong that we live in. 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:42.800 America in a place where we cannot look at the 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:47.120 two top candidates and say I don't want them. I mean, right, like, 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:49.840 I'm sure we can talk about that later on or 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:53.600 another day. But here's the thing, the reason why I 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.640 know about the challenge that. 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:57.720 We face as a people. 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:03.600 Kamala Harris is the vice president, which means that in 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:09.960 the proper world, she would advance because of if the 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:14.840 president was incapacitated or decides that he does not want 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:18.760 to run again, she would have quite And it's supposed 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:23.320 to naturally advance to being at the head of the ticket. 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:27.400 Here's the issue if the Democratic Party and the white 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:29.840 folks that's over there, and the black and brown people 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.080 and other people that go along with white folks who 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.280 are in charge of every damn thing, if they go 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:37.600 along with this process. 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.560 Of them needing a new candidate. 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:42.200 At first those articles was coming out, they weren't even 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.040 mentioning Kamala as the person. So what they would attempt 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:49.120 to do is find some other person, which Gavin Newsom 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.240 couldn't really necessarily be it because he's from California and 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:55.760 so is Kamala, and that never works in any scenario 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.640 that there's two people at the top and second on 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:02.640 the ticket from the same state. Right, But if they 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.480 go and find some other person, more than likely a 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:11.520 white person to put over Kamala, black people will most 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:14.720 a lot of black people, a lot of large majority 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:20.160 of black people would lose our minds that you have 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:23.920 disrespected a black woman. And again it would be race. 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:25.880 And then, as I have said a million times, when 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:29.880 you take race and couple it with sex and sexism, 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:35.240 that sexism piece can be even more damning because we 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:38.720 already had a black president. So we know almost any 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:42.320 kind of man can win, right, almost any kind of man, 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:48.400 but a woman, any race, number one, definitely black. It 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:50.920 is very it is very difficult. Do I think that 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:53.440 she could have debated Donald Trump and kicked his butt? 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:54.120 Absolutely? 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:56.600 Do I think that she could run the country and 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:58.680 do the thing and and and and really be a 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.080 strong powerful voice around this world. 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:02.400 Absolutely. 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:06.440 I think that she's educated, she's talented, she has all 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:09.679 the things. But do I understand the challenges of a 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:12.520 black woman being at the top of the ticket? 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:15.320 Of course, and so do they know that. 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:19.440 Within the party, which is why they would attempt out 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:25.040 of sexism also and racism, but ultimately just practicality, they 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:27.000 would attempt to put somebody over her. 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:28.200 So you know what would happen. 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:32.120 The Black people would be like, this is disrespectful and 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:36.480 go crazy about how Kammala is being disrespected. But then 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:39.080 if they did put her at the top of the ticket, 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:41.280 you know what some of them saying, Black people say, 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:45.600 she's not black enough. She was a prosecutor and she 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:46.960 put black people in jail. 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:49.679 She did this, she did that, She's not enough of this. 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:52.560 She don't know how to dance properly, she know she 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:54.359 looked like she never danced before. 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:56.080 She's married to a white man. 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:59.440 So no matter which way you start trying to go 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:02.920 and which which way you start shifting, we will find 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:08.359 a reason to try to discredit that black woman. Which 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:13.960 is why right out of ego they are ill advised. 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:18.840 Some of it is disrespect, other parts of it is 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:24.479 an attempt to preserve the dignity of the current president 0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:27.480 and also the dignity of the United States, because when 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:30.879 these things happen, it's it's it's history forever. 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:34.400 People will be saying they had to remove or President 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:35.080 Biden had. 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:37.960 To step down or whatever, and out of their ego, 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:42.240 and again some of it being the disrespect for black women, 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:46.480 some of it being just made. It just ill advised, 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:48.879 and they made a bad decision to allow him to 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:50.119 run for president again. 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:52.600 They I don't believe. 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.280 I believe that that makes them feel that they have 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.600 no choice but to take this man all the way 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:03.040 to the end and hell Mary that he wins while 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:08.280 killing babies in Palestine. While people have serious questions over 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:11.159 especially the marketing, of what they have been able to 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.399 accomplish in a time when inflation is killing people, I 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:17.520 don't care what they say. They keep saying jobs is 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.600 at the highest number I know at least twenty people 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.680 that have been and continue to search for work. They 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:27.679 are struggling, people are homeless, people are hurting. So you 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:30.280 got all that happening, and then you got a liar 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:34.120 who knows how to market and twist and say crazy 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:37.920 things that makes people feel like, well maybe, and then 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:40.679 and then people get so frustrated about either one of 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:42.760 them that they start talking about taking their votes and 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:45.560 splitting them and going to another place. It's a hot 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:48.400 ass mess. And I don't care if people could get 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:50.639 mad at me. They can say whatever they want. But 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.600 part of why we are here is because when Joe 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:56.639 Biden said he would not run for reelection, that's what 0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:59.280 he should have done. We should have figured this out 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:02.280 from four four years ago when he became president. They 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:05.520 should have decided how they were going to make sure 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:08.840 that Kamala was able to get to the end and 0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:13.080 become the nominee with people really behind her. That's what 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:14.920 we should have done, because that's who they chose for 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.479 vice president. And if they weren't gonna do it with Kamala, 0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:19.600 which by I support one hundred percent, that a black 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:20.280 woman be at. 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:21.080 The head of the ticket. 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:23.119 But if they weren't gonna do it with Kamala, it 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:25.320 should have been somebody else. This should have been the 0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:28.480 plan since even before he became president, and they did 0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:31.119 not do that. And now we are in a situation 0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:34.280 where we're dealing with a man who has the court 0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:36.800 stack in his favor to be able to do the 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:40.920 most unconscionable criminal bullshit ever and we're sitting up here 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:43.879 with another man over here that is in charge, that 0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:46.840 is not in charge of excuse me, that is helping 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:48.320 to fund a genocide. 0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:49.199 It's too much for me. 0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:52.960 I said from the beginning, we're not choosing, We're not 0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:56.040 picking an ally. Were picking an opponent, right who we 0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:59.320 got to battle against. So our whole mind state with 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:02.200 this president and he should have been building up for 0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:05.040 the next four years, who do we actually want to 0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:07.199 see in president? When they said he was only going 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:09.719 to do four years, then we should have been making 0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:12.360 sure that if we wanted Kamala to be the president, 0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:14.800 that people supposed to get behind Kamalin. We're supposed to 0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:17.040 demand that she had more of a president were supposed 0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:19.680 to be. You know, we're supposed to demand that she 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:22.679 she did things that led to people to believe that 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:24.440 she was prepared to be the president. 0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:24.840 Right. 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:27.360 People see right now, like you see her talking here 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:29.679
