WEBVTT - We Need A Christmas Miracle 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:07.480 What's up. Family. It's your girl to make a d 0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:10.639 Mallory and it's your boy, my son in the general, 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:13.800 and we are your host of street politicians, the place 0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:17.079 where the streets and politics. Me, what's going on, mister 0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:21.160 Lenen You know me, I'm blessing Holly Favor. Shout out 0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:24.800 to actively black because I've been black business. They sent 0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:27.479 me this is some fire. Figure out some fire. I 0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:29.320 told him I was gonna get I was gonna buy 0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:33.080 some stuff from them. I need to sit down. And 0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:37.879 the quality on these sweatsuits and these hats is crazy. 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:43.560 Like the leather, you know, some leopard skin going on. Good. 0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:46.800 It does look nice. It does look nice. I need 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:48.760 to told him I was going to purchase some things 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:52.199 from them, and I will. But I'm actually in my 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:57.360 for whatever reason, the last the last several years, especially 0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:02.680 since um Minnister farica On led the uh the the 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:06.480 boycott during Black Friday several years ago, when the police 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:11.360 brutality incidents were, um you know, very visible. Because I'm 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:14.680 not gonna say that they've calmed down. We know that's 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.040 not the case because we're seeing cases pop up around 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:21.120 the country every single day. But during that time, um 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.200 you know there was redistribute the pain and it was 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:28.200 the boycott. Um. You know, of any of the holiday shopping, 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:31.280 I didn't. I never really went back. I get a 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:35.160 few things for different individuals who are really special to me, 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:39.119 people who I'm close to. Um, you know, but but 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.160 the but but I'm I don't. I don't do what 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.800 I used to do prior to that. Christmas has always 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:47.400 from when I was a young girl. Even though we 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:51.960 celebrate kwanza I already my parents never maybe the first 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.760 few years of my life, they was doing the saying 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:58.120 a thing. But we was out of that quick, totally 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.520 out of the sand of these First of all, we 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:06.240 lived in the project exactly, so we got out of it. 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:09.280 I don't remember. That was when I was like a 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:12.760 little girl. But we didn't do Santa um. But we 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.920 did do gift giving. Because you know, all these holidays, 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.080 I think we know the history of them, or ually 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.240 should be teaching the truth to your family members and 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.040 then saying that, as I say all the time, we 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:29.000 all walk in contradictions because on one hand we can 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.600 say we don't we understand the holidays, but it does 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.720 give you time off work, time to get together with family, 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.280 time you could travel and different things that you can do, 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.560 eat good food. Um. And so I used to spend 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.480 ridiculous money on Christmas gifts and now I don't do 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:48.880 that anymore. I just don't well let's say this, let 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.640 me say it this way. I don't buy a lot 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:55.919 of gifts, but I still buy quality gifts for individuals 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:59.959 that I love. So I'm actually in my don't spend 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:04.720 money period right now. However, I am going to support 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:07.360 black owned businesses. What I did do last year, I 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:12.359 started just picking people randomly from my Instagram comments and 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.519 paying their rent um. I paid I think like three 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:20.040 or four people's rent last time last year Christmas, and 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:22.320 then from a lot of my friends joined in and 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.720 picked people as well. And I got that from Miss 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:29.840 Miami Bling's page. I'll miss Bling Miami her page. She 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:34.920 was doing it. So then myself and another sister I 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.880 can't remember her name right now, we all just sort 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.080 of picked it up and started doing that. So I 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.520 probably would do that again this year, and then we 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.040 you know, have some other stuff coming up. So I'm 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.800 going to purchase something from actively Black, but I am 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:49.760 trying to let hold on to my money during the 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:53.720 season Yeah, I got to hold onto that coin because 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:56.600 it's tough of him. Man, we in recession. Money is 0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:59.480 you know what they say, are we really in a recession? 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.960 You can just see that money is not going as long. Yeah, 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:06.320 inflation is is definitely, you know, money is definitely not 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:08.320 going as far as it used to go. The dollar 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.080 don't mean as much as it used to. So going 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:12.880 on to your coin, definitely, don't go out there and 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:19.359 buying no Nike fuck nick dim own Niket fuck Naket. Yeah, 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:23.080 I'm like, things are really expensive, you know I and 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:26.640 I am fortunate that, you know, I have resources, I 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:30.600 have the means, but I'm looking at things and I'm like, wow, 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.039 this is really expensive. Like there's a lot of things, 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:37.240 especially with flights. I'm like usually I'm like, if I 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:39.520 want to go somewhere, if I need to be somewhere, 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.000 I'm out like, there's no you know, I'm gonna pay 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:43.960 for my flight and go. I also have points, I 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:47.679 got different things, but but I am even sitting back 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:51.440 like this is too expensive. And I'm definitely not just 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:55.080 outright trying to buy first class tickets on most flights 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.680 where I used to fly first class at any time 0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:59.920 I got on the plane and you know that I'm 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:04.320 definitely was like, I'm a purchase, but I don't. I 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.480 don't do that. I think everybody has to cut back, 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:08.280 no matter how much money you have. And I was 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:10.920 talking to a friend of mine who has lots of money, 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:16.159 at a lot of money, and she was like, even 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:20.640 in our house, like with money, we're not spending like that. 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.720 You know, we're being very very careful about how we 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.520 spend because money goes so fast that you've got a 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.680 lot lot today and you can have a little little tonight, 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:36.000 not even tomorrow tonight. It's tough man. So me, my 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.520 money go to everybody else. I think I'm like the bank. 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.200 Everybody thinks something to bank a couple of little fragments. 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.719 I get. I get, you know, I gotta I don't 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.599 get to enjoyed nothing. But I don't really need much 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.360 to me, you know, I think with this whole Nike 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:55.000 boycott thing, to me, it's made me detach because you know, 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:57.880 I'm a big sneaker person, Like I love sneakers, and 0:05:58.000 --> 0:05:59.880 even though I'm still getting sneak, but I don't feel 0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:01.600 a touched to it right because I used to have 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:03.600 to go out and get the new Jordans and a 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:05.880 new this and that when it came out and now 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.400 I don't. So it's it's making me feel like I 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.680 don't really need none of this ship. So you know, 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:14.359 I'm being a lot more frugal. I'm just paying attention 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.400 to money. I'm seeing myself saved more money. You know 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.479 it's working for me. Yeah, Mr Mr Footwork who I 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.000 saw today. Shout out to Mr Footwork. If you don't 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:26.880 know him, you're looking for any sneaker period, you go 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:30.360 to Mr Footwork on inst work and he will help 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:35.600 you to find it. Not just sneakers, jackets, chains, anything 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:40.039 that you want. Mr Footwork is on his speak and 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:44.320 about that business. So he um is now looking for 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:51.359 sneakers that have the purple that matches until Freedom but 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:55.320 that but obviously not Nike. He's doing that work for us, 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.000 that research because I was like, bro, I need sneakers 0:06:58.000 --> 0:06:59.760 with purple in it because I wear that with my 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:03.839 so Freedom gear. Anyway, a lot of little things, crazy 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.520 things going on around this country. And I promised I 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.680 was gonna say I swear, but I promised, Um, I'm 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.440 committed to some new things going into the new year. 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.239 And one of them is, of course, on the finance side. 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:19.120 Now I've gotten better with what I spend on and 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:22.240 how I spend. Now I'm getting better on my paperwork, 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:26.040 organizing myself and making sure that I, um, you know, 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:29.120 have all of my documents and paperwork and all of that, 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.840 and trying to get my taxes straighten out. I had 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:35.280 several years of just taxes being crazy, but now I'm 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:38.760 trying to tighten all the things. So that's my commitment 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:43.920 to myself. Um. But the other thing is what I'm 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:50.480 eating right Like eating out, Dude, we gotta be massive careful. 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:54.160 You already have changed your eating habits, but we still 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:57.920 you will still get a piece of fish anywhere like 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.880 your little spots, you'll be going to the ground. And 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:04.720 we have to be really careful because part of our 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.320 health is not just the food we eat, but the 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.080 cleanliness of it. And so I the last few weeks 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.240 I have been cooking meals in my house. Part of 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:14.760 it is I want to cook for my family, with 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:18.880 my grand baby and everybody together. But beyond that, even 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:22.960 for myself, I cannot eat out at these restaurants every 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:26.200 single meal of the day. It's just too much Now 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:30.680 we saw in Detroit at Popeye's all over the takeout orders, 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:34.240 roaches was crawling everywhere. Or roaches wasn't just on takeout orders, 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.080 it was they were in the straws, the door dash 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:44.200 um delivery person caught pictures or video or whatever of 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:48.880 these roaches crawling everywhere. Now, cock roaches or the big 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:52.240 water bug type of roaches, that's one thing. Those are 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:56.440 nasty too, But you can have an infestation of them 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.719 and not be dirty. So, for instance, there was an 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:05.000 infestation of of the water bugs that came into my house. 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:08.520 My house is not dirty at all, but the water 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:12.040 bugs came in and they kept, you know, you kept 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.760 seeing them dead. And it was because there was water 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:16.920 and a leak and the thing and whatever, and it 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.760 had to be fixed and it got under control. But 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:23.040 once one comes you can see six or seven, because 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:26.080 in in our house there was like ten or twelve 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.280 of them dead at the same time. When I came 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.040 back from a trip, then I wasn't home. So that 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:34.960 that's that's an infestation and as nasty as hell. But 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:38.960 it did not happen because of things because of the 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.960 house being nasty. It happened because there was water that 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:48.240 they were able to feed on roaches. Roaches, they come, 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:56.360 they come for the disgusted. That's nasty. It's nasty. It's terrible. 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:57.920 And they and and the thing is they the way 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:01.120 they multiplied, the speed that they to ply, and they 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.400 once they get in, they lay eggs and they keep 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:07.160 on laying eggs. And the poper eyes think. And the 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.200 thing was running out the little hole in the pop 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:14.319 Eyes box. It was disgusting, like disgusting, disgusting. And and 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:18.760 y'all and and and on some real we be ordering 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:20.880 stuff for what we Eats. You don't even know what 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:24.240 the restaurant looks like that you're ordering from. So you're 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:28.200 just going online looking for the And by the way, me, 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:30.959 when I go to What we Eats, I always go 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:34.000 to the Department of Health for that state and look 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:37.079 up the restaurant as well. Yeah, y'all don't know. Y'all 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:42.199 listened to me. But she is a dirt germ of 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:47.920 fold and she cannot stand roaches, rats, dirt. She can't 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:52.120 stand none of this stuff. It drives her crazy. She's 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:56.320 calling the mayor about the rats. She's taking pictures wherever 0:10:56.400 --> 0:11:00.719 she sees. She is not for it at all so 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.280 these more more. Every time these things come on, it 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:06.400 drives her crazy. Now she's gonna be like, I'm never 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.360 going to Popeye'es, no eat Popeyees no more. After the 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:15.280 rats was running up the wall, Yo, Popeyes. The only 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:19.440 way I'm gonna eat Popeye's is if I'm drinking, and 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:21.520 you know, they bring a box of chicken in the house. 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.600 It's like, okay, but I'm getting to the point, Mice 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.960 where I will go to to pick up something and 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:31.240 just like I can't, I just can't eat it. I can't. 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:34.719 I would rather go to a good Jamaican restaurant and 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:39.440 get me some fried chicken out the the you know, 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:41.480 when they're be having it under the light. Now I'm 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.679 not even And by the way, I don't even want 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:47.760 to consider how clean some of those restaurants are either, 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.200 So let's just be clear. But what I do know 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:53.840 is in New York City we have many, many, many 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.720 cultural restaurants, and you can tell they are very clean, 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.560 like they are trying. They're trying their best any to 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.800 keep it clean, especially like the Golden Crust brand and 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.360 the ones that I've been to, I can see where 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:08.680 they really are trying to do their job of keeping 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:12.480 things clean. But anytime you eat out, you're taking a risk. 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:16.600 So my boys in Detroit, I don't even know that. 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.400 You know, y'all can look it up. They have roaches now. 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:22.400 They've had to close their doors because they have roaches 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.520 crawling over everything is bad enough. Some of them got rats. 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.040 Probably they got rats and roaches. Do rats and roaches 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:29.480 have in the same space. I don't know, but I 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:33.640 am going to They definitely coexist. Or is it mice 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:39.439 and roaches because rats they do the same. They all 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:43.480 in the same places. Well, well, no, rats and rats 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:49.559 and mice don't cohabitate. Rats mice, right, so they don't cohabitate. 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.560 So I anyway, I'm getting ready to join the New 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:57.320 York City Task Force for rats and clean and something 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:00.360 that got to do with cleanliness. Speaking of asked the 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:05.280 something that needs to be uh. I want rats to 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:11.480 be exterminated, and I also want individuals who prey on 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:16.360 and rape young people or anybody rapist in general to 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:19.640 be exterminated. And I mean, I really do mean that, Like, 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:24.160 if you are out here sleeping with kids and messing 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:29.839 with people and their children, we put somewhere they need 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:34.800 to be put down. I guess we can't really say 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.600 put you down because we don't really support I don't 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:43.880 support the defenitalty. So yeah, I know, but it's like 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:46.120 you can't have one thing and not the other because 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:48.000 I don't know. I mean, it's again, it's a it's 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:53.000 a difficult thing. But the archdioces in Baltimore. I wonder 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.560 if it was Maryland or Baltimore. It's five Baltimore, it's 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.800 not even Baltimore anyway. I know this happened in Baltimore, 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.079 but it could have been the archdioces of mary and 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.120 I don't know how that works anyway. They failed to 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:11.120 report um over. No, they failed to report sexual assault 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:18.000 against many victims. Now there's a criminal investigation that has 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:24.000 uncovered six hundred people saying that they were victims over 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:27.560 eighty years. So over eighty years, there are at least 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:32.320 six hundred people who were young girl young at the 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:37.120 time growing up in the church and the archdiocese they 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:41.880 claimed they did their own investigation and then they they 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:46.640 are banned these priests and others. I'm sure it was priests, 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:50.920 but there's maybe other members of the church leadership that 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:55.640 were involved in this. They banned them from being around kids. Now, 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.280 the only way you could be banned from being around 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:02.400 kids becau Oh but you can be locked up, you 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:06.840 have to be away, you can you can't be around kids. 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:10.320 What are we talking about? You going to stay away from? 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:13.160 So I just don't understand why does why does this 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:16.560 church constantly have this issue with these kids? Like what 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:20.240 is going on? But I just never understood, like what 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.840 what is it is? It is? It is something that's 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:26.800 part of like what is going on? Well, and and 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:32.480 and so a part of me. It's considering what it 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:36.000 means to be a part of a village. Right, and 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:41.200 so if we were in an African village and we 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.360 and it should be the case even in our own communities, 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.960 we don't call the police, we would not call the 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:53.720 police to deal with our issues, right, I mean that's 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:59.640 kind of the theory. I'm still but okay, but then 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:03.080 what is the process? I need to hear it. I 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:07.720 need the Pope himselves or some damn body to tell 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:13.840 me what is the process for multiple victims of sexual assault? 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:18.240 If we're not using the criminal justice system, fine, I 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:21.280 could even accept that there has to be a mechanism 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:27.600 for public safety, community safety in your own village. We 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.240 we all need that right, we need that if you're 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:34.960 a murderer, a dangerous right. So there has to be 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:38.440 some level of something to address the sickness. I don't 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:40.360 think it's just a crime. I think it's it's definitely 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.520 a sickness, especially when you look at it because a 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.000 lot of them pray. They they don't just do it 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.960 one time or something like that. It's it's a sickness, 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:51.720 is a cycle. So I don't know, Like you said, 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:54.800 I want to know what the process is of you 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:58.200 addressing it and you know you're doing something because there's 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:00.720 no accountability, like what what? What are you really doing 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:03.720 that you're holding these people accountable. That's what I'm saying. 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:06.440 That's what I'm trying to ask you. It's what I don't. 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.040 I don't have a clue. I don't. I don't. I 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.240 don't know what it is there out here doing because 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:14.760 it ain't working because every we keep hearing the same 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.360 thing in the church, in this cadutry, and I don't 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.439 understand where it's coming from. I don't understand what it 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:25.080 is that that's something that's prevalent in those churches. So 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:30.919 then the question becomes is it a sickness or is 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:34.880 it cultural? Or is it both? I think it might 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:38.680 be both because we've seen this culture within the same 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:42.639 church over and over again. It's been so I don't understand, 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:46.760 you know, is it something that's supposedly accepted in it 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:49.720 within this church. But I don't understand. Well, I think 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:52.760 at some point it was like we need to stop 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:56.280 playing with this conversation. Yeah, I don't know. That's something 0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:59.280 I've never really got into in depth with it and 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:03.600 understood exactly why, you know, and why why it isn't 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:08.240 totally frowned upon, you know, and it's constantly happened within 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:10.240 the church. So I don't I don't understand that. I've 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:12.480 never got to understand. I just know it was crazy 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:14.840 and it always a year they said this person was 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:17.159 doing this in the capulture and fred person was doing 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:20.080 this to kids, and we just keep hearing it and 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:23.480 it's like it's not changing. It should has six over 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:30.239 six hundred victims um a hundred and fifteen abusers, and 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.240 it's all happened over eighty years. So this is going 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:36.280 on for eighty years. So if you maybe if the 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.280 village dealt with two or three, four, five, and it 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:42.800 keeps happening. At what point is it a systemic problem 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.840 that has to be addressed on a larger level. I 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:48.560 don't know, and I think I think it always. I 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:50.679 think it needs to be addressed on the hut. I 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:53.720 just think, like I said, rate to me is one 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:56.240 of those crimes where it should be punishable. But I 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:59.919 would say death. You're raping kids, But it has to 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:04.640 be punishing by some level inconceerration, some level of you know, punitive. 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:07.640 It has to have punitive you know. And when you're 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:10.280 doing something and you and you're not treating like yourselfing 0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:14.560 to have a punitive, you know, response, then I think 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:16.240 you're dropping the ball on it and you and you're 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:21.040 allowing it's a forester and continue to grow because there's 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:26.800 no real consequence. I'm with you. I don't know. I 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:29.800 don't have nothing else I could. This ain't right. That's 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:33.040 all I can say is that this is wrong. It 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:37.080 is wrong. It's wrong, and I saw it. I posted 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:39.960 the story on my page or in my story since 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:42.600 somebody wrote back to me like, oh well that never 0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:45.560 happened to me. Yeah, if you know what, I never 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:50.080 God knock on wood or whatever, and please God bless me. 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:53.400 But I never got struck by lightning. That never happened 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:57.360 to me. But there's other people that they're struck by lightning. 0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:00.520 So stop trying to make it seem like just because 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:06.639 the priest in your church did not rape you or 0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:10.320 or molest you or something, that that means it didn't 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:13.000 happen to first of all, other people in your church, 0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:16.280 but also that it couldn't be maybe just not your priests. 0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:20.800 No nothing, There is no one of anything. So we 0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:24.880 know that there's not a hundred percent of priests that 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:28.840 have had or abused children. So maybe it missed you, 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:32.800 and God bless you that it missed you, and and 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:34.639 maybe you didn't even know what it looked like if 0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:38.520 it did happen to you. But nonetheless, there are many 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:42.920 people that it has happened to. And this is crazy. 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:46.920 So I really am trying to understand. For me, I'm 0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:52.400 trying to understand what is their process because I don't 0:20:52.440 --> 0:20:55.840 get it. I don't get it. And they said, oh, 0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:59.080 so they said it's a hundred and fifteen priests, but 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:04.199 then they said they've been credibly accused. So we're not 0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:08.560 even saying, like ash slashing and half bring only ten 0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:11.480 per or three percent or two percent we're talking about. 0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:17.159 They're saying that these people are credibly abute accusing uh individuals. 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:24.480 And by the way, forty three more priests have been 0:21:24.520 --> 0:21:28.520 accused as well. But they but they didn't make it 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:32.480 to the official hundred and fifteen that have received some 0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:35.879 type of reprimand from the church. The reprimand ain't working. 0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:39.560 The reprimand ain't working. And I don't know, this might 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:42.120 be going too far because I would never see here 0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:47.840 and say that the Muslims should you know, not where 0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:51.000 he jobs. I don't. I think they should have choice, right. 0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:57.560 I would never say that the Christians shouldn't have baptism, right. 0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:01.360 I would never say that these things are cultural parts 0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:06.480 of what makes up their religion and our religion. But 0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:09.399 maybe not having sex as a priest is not a 0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:12.960 good thing. I don't really think. I don't think it's 0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:15.160 a natural thing. And I think, you know what I'm saying. 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:18.159 I think sex. Sex is a part of life, and 0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:23.240 it's it's a process. I don't think telling priests to 0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:28.880 abstain is is all the way realistic, you know, for 0:22:28.880 --> 0:22:32.640 for the majority of them, the majority of people don't 0:22:32.680 --> 0:22:35.200 abstain from sex their whole life. It's just not it's 0:22:35.200 --> 0:22:38.159 not a really a thing. So why go to change 0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:41.879 because those are the people that they're around, most of 0:22:41.880 --> 0:22:46.160 the most wonderful you know, they're around. They don't they're 0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:48.639 trying to figure out what to do with this sexual energy. 0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:51.040 It's just it's a lot. It's a lot to unpack. 0:22:52.200 --> 0:22:55.520 Makeup that be wrong, but it's definitely a lot to unpack. 0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:57.920 It is. I mean, I just, yeah, I need to 0:22:58.040 --> 0:22:59.840 learn more. And I'm not in the Catholic church, but 0:22:59.920 --> 0:23:02.240 I went to Catholic school, and I need to understand 0:23:02.280 --> 0:23:04.760 because I'm not any time a bunch of kids. No, 0:23:05.119 --> 0:23:10.720 it's not right. So anyway, speaking of abuse, women, attorney 0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:16.560 Ben Crump has offering he has filed the lawsuit against 0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:19.960 the Department of Corrections in New York because there are 0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:23.920 a number of women who claimed that they have been 0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:30.679 impregnated by correctional officers over several years. Impregnated rates you know, 0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:35.119 great basically sexually because they don't have power to really 0:23:35.720 --> 0:23:38.640 you know, when you exercise and power, they can't really 0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:42.040 say yes, yeah, I mean, you know, and some of 0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:44.400 them might have acted like they was cool with it. 0:23:44.400 --> 0:23:47.959 It helps them probably get some privileges. And but the 0:23:47.960 --> 0:23:53.200 thing is that is elite atomatically automatically rate whenever whenever 0:23:53.359 --> 0:23:57.840 a CEO or officer has sex with a prisoner, it's right. 0:23:58.720 --> 0:24:02.399 There's no consensual sex in that situation, is always right. 0:24:03.000 --> 0:24:07.399 So that's it. So the women are suing again. I 0:24:07.480 --> 0:24:11.360 know that one of the leading cases is around actually 0:24:11.400 --> 0:24:15.879 being impregnated by these officers. And you know what has 0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:18.640
