00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Native Lampod is a production of iHeartRadio in partnership with

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: Reason Choice Media. Nobody knows the troubles I've seen, well,

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: so what's so? What's up? This is Macari sellers. I

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: feel like a radio DJ or something. But the Native

5
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: Lamppod has us doing this interesting thing. I don't know

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: about Andrew Gillum. Actually I do know about Andrew Gillip.

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: He has a Mayor's round Table coming up. I want

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: all of y'all to tune into because nobody knows more

9
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: about mayors than Andrew Gillam. But after that, dope, it's

10
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: about to be a dope, dope solo pod. I want

11

24
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: we can talk about some of the issues you want

25
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: to talk about. And if you get brave enough to

26
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: come on the show, I don't know, I might have

27
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 1: you on the show so we can have a little

28
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: back and forth. We can talk about some things. You

29
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,000

30
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: maybe having some audience participation in some Q and A.

31
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: I'll shout out to Alabama State University. I will be

32
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,240

33
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm excited to be down in Alabama. Shout out to Nicholas,

34
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: Shout out to lol, and shout out to Derek for

35
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,600

Speaker 1: me here for a minute, and we are here. Today.

37
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: Actually is an amazing day. I just finished day one

38
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: of a trial across the street from where I'm sitting today,

39
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: and let me just say, I'm tired. I'm worn out.

40
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: My wife was asking me why I couldn't sleep last night.

41
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: But this is what we do, fighting for those who

42
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: can't fight for themselves. And giving a voice to the

43
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: voicelest so hopefully we get some good results. If you

Speaker 1: follow me on Twitter, if you follow me on ig

45

46
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,160

Speaker 1: job and asked me about that as well, also catch

48
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: me on seeing end. This week I will be I

49
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: believe on Anderson Cooper on Wednesday, and on Abbey Phillip

50
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,200

51
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,840

00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: We're pulling up in baton Rouge. Right we play LSU.

54
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: I'm Kim Molkie gonna have to see about us. I'm

55
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: excited about it. It's not no rivalry. If we beat

56
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: you seventeen eighteen times in a row, it's not a rivalry.

57
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: But everybody who knows me knows one of the things

58
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: I do consistently, one of the things I love is

59
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,839
Speaker 1: women's basketball, college women's basketball. Shout out to my girl

60
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,320

00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: have their butts in seats on Saturday night at eight

63
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: pm because it's going to be rocking in the p

64
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: MAC down in LSU. And so that's what will be

65
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: this weekend. That's the full schedule in the itinerary, everything

66
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: we got going on while you're here. Also, like in

67
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: subscribe to my YouTube channel where you can keep everything

68
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: going and watch my postings and everything else. And one

69
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: of the things that Lolo and Angela had me doing

70
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: when I signed my deal with Native Land is they said, well,

71
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: Krrie Sellers, you got to do a substack. I'm the

72
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: only one with the substack pumping. Well go check that

73
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,760

00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: with the substack shout out Jared Lohold and Brian Fitch.

75
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: One of the things we did with the substanc was

76
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: say substack. Substack will say it's free, and so we

77
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: write some things on there. We'll get back to it.

78
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: My last piece was about Kanye West, so go check

79
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,400

Speaker 1: or four topics, like we're going to do every other Monday.

81
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: As we sit here, three or four things I care about,

82
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: y'all can start adding to the list. Of things I

Speaker 1: and trial I got it, crispy. Oh, and to start,

94
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,239
Speaker 1: everybody was asking me about my thoughts on Bad Bunny's

95
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: performance yesterday. So let's play this clipping and let's get

96
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: to it. God pless.

97
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: Somebodica say, Tina, I laughed, Dina.

98
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: Photo white by the wife. Believe Yael ya Kuda he

99
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: Maico Coo Kanda.

100
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: I'm like ya Unita state Kannada.

101
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: I'm like p it enough to be bothered.

102
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 3: Puerto Rico, say.

103
00:04:54,440 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: You moncky, Yeah, you know what I ain't understand a well,

104
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: I understood all of them words. I mean, he was

105
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: calling out countries that are in the Americas, North and

106
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: South America. I understood the message. The only thing stronger

107
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: and the only thing that can drive out hate is love.

108
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 1: I understood the messenger because Bad Bunny is on top

109
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: of his game. There's arguably nobody bigger in the world.

110
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: Now Beyonce fans don't be getting mad at me about that.

111
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: But Bad Bunny Beyonce, I don't know. I think that's

112
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: probably the two that are up there by themselves and

113
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: his showmanship. I appreciated Kendrick Lamar last year, but Kendrick

114
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: Lamar didn't put on a show like Bad Bunny put on.

115
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,239
Speaker 1: With all that being said, I ain't understand the damn

116
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: thing he was rapping about, but I loved every minute

117
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: of it. I think a part of us loved it

118
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: because of the simple fact we knew we were making

119
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: people mad, and that's the petty in us. A part

120
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: of it was we actually embrace other cultures and we

121
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: embrace diversity. Some of y'all actually thought he gave his

122
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: Grammy to the young Liam, five year old boy who

123
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: was detained. That was a child actor. It wasn't a

124
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: Grammy to Liam. He had some messaging in there. You know.

125
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:08,239
Speaker 1: I saw some of the smaller Puerto Rican grocery stores

126
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: and stores he was shopping at. I saw him on

127
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: top of the electric cables, electric polls because of the

128
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: fact that there are issues with the grid in Puerto Rico,

129
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: and we know who's the blame for that forty five

130
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: forty seven, and so his style. I think my wife

131
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: told me he was in he was in Zara. That

132
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: was affordable. I might rock that. If let me tell

133
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: you something. If I see that at Czar, I'm gonna

134
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: have at I feel like I'm probably taller than Bad Bunny.

135
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: It's gonna look like a short set, but I'm gonna

136
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: rock that. And everything was just everything felt good about America.

137
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: People mad about it. I mean I saw John Kasey, right,

138
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,239
Speaker 1: who ran for governor as a Republican. Times had passed

139
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: him by. He embraced it. Everybody was watching it, just

140
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: embraced it. But you had the logan pause of the

141
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: world or one of the palls, not sure which one.

142
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: You had Sage Steel, you had Jason Whitlock. You had

143
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: others who just outwardly rejected the notion of diversity. There

144
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: was one anonymous and This is where Andrew and Angela

145
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: gave me hell this week. On last week on the show,

146
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,559
Speaker 1: it was an anonymous football player saying that they should

147
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: we should have Americans perform and speak American. Puerto Rico

148
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: is in America for those of you all who don't know,

149
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: and so look I am. I don't know if I'm

150
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: a bad Bunny fan. I was a bad bunny fan

151
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:31,239
Speaker 1: of him performing at the Super Bowl, you know, having

152
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: uh who he brings out there with him? Lolo? Was

153
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: it Ricky Martin? Man, I can't remember Enrique Iglaciers. Ricky Martin. Yeah,

154
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: thank you, love love having Ricky Martin not done. And

155
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: Lady Guy got First of all, I couldn't recognize Lady

156
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: Guy got because I think Lady Guy gotta be wearing

157
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: masks or something, so I didn't really know that was

158
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: her In real life, I saw, I saw Cardi B

159
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: out there. She went out there and did all of

160
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: that and then broke up with her boyfriend after he lost.

161
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: I just think that, you know, Cardi B had a

162
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: lot going on and that was amazing. I think Jessica

163
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: album was on stage. Ronald Lacuna from the Braves was

164
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: on stage. It was just an amazing and amazing atmosphere.

165
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: Shout out to none other than Bad Bunny. Shout out

166
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: to Jay Z for making that happen. Shout out to

167
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: the Twin, Shout out the Blue Ivy, everybody who was there.

168
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: It was an amazing event. And more importantly, shout out

169
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: to Nick and Uimuwari and Ernest Jones, to fellow South

170
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: Carolina gang Cocks who won their Super bowls. Ernest Jones

171
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: won his second one. It was a great show and

172
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: the only thing that would have made it better is

173
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: if he would have come out this swab a minte

174
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: best a meant like that. I made it sound like

175
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 1: lion king, but you know what I'm talking about. That

176
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: would have been the only thing to make it to

177
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: make it better. So look, I'm appreciative of Bad Bunny

178
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: forever a fan here. And let's talk about some other

179
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: news has been going on in the world around us.

180
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: One of the things that is happening coming up in Washington,

181
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: d C. Is Wes Moore and others are supposed to

182
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: be joining the President of the United States for a

183
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: National Governors Association meeting in Washington, d C. Don't be

184
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: don't turn the channel now because you feel let down

185
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: that we're going from bad Bunny to wes Moore. But

186
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: this is important. Doing Black History Month, I wrote a

187
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: clip of wes Moore talking about what's happening so you

188
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: can see what's happening around you in the world.

189
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: Before I let you go, I just want to understand

190
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 2: what you think. The reason is that you are being

191
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 2: singled out and Jared Polis, but from your perspective, why

192
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: are you being excluded from this dinner?

193
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 3: Well, I have long learned that I'm not trying to

194
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 3: get inside over the President's psyche. It's not a good

195
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 3: use of my time. It's it's not lost to me

196
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 3: that I'm the only black governor in this country, and

197
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 3: I find that to be, you know, particularly painful considering

198
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 3: the fact that the President is trying to exclude me

199
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 3: from a from an organization that not only all my

200
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 3: peers have asked me to help to lead, but then

201
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 3: also a place where I know I belong in. And

202
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 3: so I've long learned, and I've talked to the people

203
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 3: and the children of my state, is that I am

204
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 3: never in a room because of someone's benevolence nor kindness.

205
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 3: I'm not in a room because of a social experiment.

206
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 3: I'm in the room because I belonged there, and the

207
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 3: room was incomplete until I got there.

208
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something of that boy, wes Moore.

209
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: That boy can put some words together. Wes Moore is

210
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: running for reelection for the great state of Maryland. First,

211
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: and then I expect we'll hear more things from wes Moore.

212
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: I expect we'll actually have three extremely qualified black folk

213
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: running for president of the United States, Wes Moore, Corey Booker,

214
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: and Kamala Harris. I expect all three of them we'll

215
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: probably cast or throw their hat in. But first things first,

216
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: we got to make sure that wes Moore gets over

217
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: the hump and it gets reelected. But let's talk about

218
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: the fact that he's uninvited, Like there are other people

219
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: that are formidable challenges, people who stood up, Like how

220
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: does Gavin News who's a pain in your ass every

221
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 1: single day, get invited but Wes Moore doesn't. How does

222
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: Jos Shapiro, who's running for governor in reelection in a

223
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: very contentious swing state in Pennsylvania, get invited but wes

224
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: Moore doesn't. How does Gretchen Whitmore, who everybody believe whitmor

225
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: excuse me, who everybody believes is going to run for

226
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: president of the United States get invited, but Wesmore doesn't.

227
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: I am my gabbers are flashed flabbered, right, my gap

228
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: flabber guessed it? Yeah, I guess my gabbers are flat

229
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: flabber whatever. You know what I'm trying to say. I'm flabbergasted.

230
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: You know, it's fascinating to see the lens that Donald

231
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: Trump will go consciously, subconsciously, erroneously, mistakenly, accidentally, purposefully, willfully,

232
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: all of those things. It could have been any one

233
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: of those things. But missing Wes Moore doing Black History

234
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: Month is just weird. This is on the heels of

235
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: him posting that video where he portrayed Donald as he

236
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: Donald Trump portrayed Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as monkeys.

237
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: You know this is who he is. What did I

238
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: Angelo say? When people show you who they are believing,

239
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 1: that's first. But people also have to see racism has

240
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: very tangible policy outcomes. When you don't give people the

241
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: benefit of their humanity, when you castigate people as apes

242
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: and monkeys, when you disinvite people from places they belong

243
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: and have fought for it and deserve for and the

244
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: voters put them there. You are showing you do not

245
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: give them the benefit of their humanity. Therefore, not only

246
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: are you able to shoot them in the street, but

247
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: you're also able to miseducate them, not feed them. Make

248
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: sure they don't have access to public transportation. Make sure

249
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: they don't have access to affordable housing, make sure they

250
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: don't have access to clean drinking water, make sure they

251
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: don't have access to quality schools. And that becomes very,

252
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: very violent. What's more, rocking along, we got your back,

253
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: we know why you're there. And make sure y'all go

254
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: read the other Wes Moore some of your reading material

255
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: for February last, but not least, before I go write

256
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: my clothing argument and write my cross examination for court tomorrow.

257
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: One of the things I said on seeing in the

258
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: other night, we were talking about the fact that I

259
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: ain't really doing what they're saying they're doing. They tell

260
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: them about they arresting all of these illegal immigrants with

261
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: criminal convictions. I called it a lot then, And guess

262
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: what your boy was right now? Y'all know from watching

263
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: the show, I've never ever won to toot my own horn.

264
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm never one to go out of my way to

265
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: say I'm right, but Lolo asked me, Okay, I know

266
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: how humble you are, but please tell the people how

267
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: you were right about what's going on with ICE. Can

268
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: y'all put that up please?

269
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 4: An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows that a

270
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 4: vast majority of the people arrested by ICE over the

271
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,599
Speaker 4: past year have not been charged with or convicted of

272
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 4: a violent crime. Here are the numbers. Fewer than fourteen

273
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 4: percent of the nearly four hundred thousand undocumented immigrants arrested

274
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 4: by ICE over the past year had charges or conviction

275
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 4: for violent crimes that includes crimes like kidnapping, sexual assault,

276
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 4: and homicide, and fewer than two percent were actually accused

277
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 4: of being gang members. Nearly forty percent of the people

278
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 4: taken into custody by ICE under the second Trump administration

279
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 4: did not have any criminal record at all and were

280
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 4: detained solely for living in the country illegally or overstaying

281
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 4: a visa, which are civil violation of federal immigration law.

282
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 4: That means roughly sixty percent did have some kind of

283
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 4: criminal charge or conviction, but again, the vast majority were

284
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 4: not for violent offenses.

285
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: Non I tell you about that. I mean, I don't

286
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: even know why we out here acting like they're rounding

287
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: up black and brown folk. That's all I do. That's

288
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: the purpose of this. They are not going in and

289
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: removing people from this country who have committed violent crimes.

290
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: That is not what they're doing. You know who did that?

291
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: Barack Obama. Overwhelming majority of the people he deported were criminals.

292
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: They were Tier one criminals. They were the most violent

293
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: of the violet. He deported a whole lot of people.

294
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: Barack Obama also used drums. We can also look back

295
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: at that but hindsight and criticize the forty fourth president

296
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: of the United States. This ain't that. And a lot

297
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: of people saw to say, well, you know Donald Trump

298
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: doing he weren't when you upset when Barack Obama was

299
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: doing it, because he was actually doing what people wanted

300
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: to do and did it right. This dragging grandmas and

301
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: five year olds out in the street, arresting them, dragging

302
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: you out just because you're brown, because you committed a

303
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: civil offense. What about all of those Europeans who were

304
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: here and overstate their visas. What about all those people

305
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: that are hiring these people. Yeah, silence. So that is

306
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: why you're seeing Donald Trump's numbers actually plummet, because we

307
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: know what he's doing is wrong. We know what he's

308
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: doing is not what we ask for. And contrary to

309
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: popular belief, I believe after this new election in November,

310
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: you'll start to see the imprint of Maga fade away.

311
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: You start to see the power Donald Trump slip away.

312
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: He may begin to act more radically, but maybe, just maybe,

313
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: we can get our country back. I sound like them

314
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: when I say that, but I want a country where

315
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: we actually love each other, regardless of how we look,

316
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: or who we pray to or who we love. When

317
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: a country, to Sadian Stokely can grow up in and

318
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: be happy, healthy and happy and not have to worry

319
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: about going outside and being hemmed up because of the

320
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: color of the skin. Don't tell me I'm jaded. Don't

321
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: tell me that can't be reality, because I think it

322
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: can be. Y'all join me on this Monday for the

323
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: Cari Solo Solo Pod. I got some other hot shit

324
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: coming your way soon. Let's make sure we keep it

325
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: in the fan. When will I be Governor of South Carolina?

326
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: Is the last question that we got today, I will

327
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: tell you that Mullins, MacLeod, and Jermaine Johnson are running

328
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: for governor. I'm so proud of them. But the infrastructure

329
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: in South Carolina needs little work. That doesn't mean I

330
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: won't run for office soon. It just means not right now.

331
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: So pray for me, Pray for Ellen sad Stokeley, Pray

332
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: for all those who have no one to pray for them.

333
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: Pray for my sweet child Tai, who is a junior

334
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: at Howard University, and pray for yourself. Give yourself some grace,

335
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,479
Speaker 1: give others some grace, and with that. This is episode
