33
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,920

Speaker 1: and our friends we never did a one on one

35
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: people actually hearing our conversation. Yeah, exactly one of ones

36
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: on the phone. Yeah, So this is the first time

37
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: that you and ither people will hear our conversation what

38
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: we normally have on the back end. I don't know.

39
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: We want to tell them everything we say, but we

40
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: can try to. It might be a little bit too real.

41
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: But while I have you here, Mike, I want to

42
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: kind of get straight to it. Um, there's a couple

43
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: of things we want to talk about in respect for

44
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: your time. But first, before I get into politics, tell

45
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: everybody about your new show. Love and Respect would kill

46
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: the Mike. Well, there's a lot of division, divisiveness, hatred

47
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: and this you're all going on on regular news agency. Right,

48
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: It's almost like you belong to a tribe or a

49
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: team dependent on if you watch CNN or Fox and MSNBC.

50
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: And to me, it's just that's not what I'm about. Um,

51
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: I can do that and go have a rap beef.

52
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: I think the people who watched the same news with

53
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: my grandmother should watch They should be more concerned with commonality,

54
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: with conversation, with mutual understanding. And I decided, instead of

55
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: complaining that it's not out there, to just go to

56
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: the source of what kind of helped me understand the

57
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: bigger world. When I was a kid, I grew up

58
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood called a car Heights Ademueal Community. It

59
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: was a neighborhood started by black people for black people,

60
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: so there were not many, if any white people at all.

61
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: I grew up in an all black universe where all

62
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,119
Speaker 1: my heroes and villains look like me, and because of that,

63
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: my first kind of look into the outside world of

64
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: people who weren't like me was PBS, so it was

65
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: people like Fred Rogers, the Electric Company, ses Me Street,

66
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: and I said, what better place to take a show

67
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: called Love and Respect? And then public broadcasting. So we

68
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: just premiered in Atlanta. We're expecting to get picked up

69
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: next year in more markets. But Revolt TV also partner

70
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: with them. So on Fridays you can catch me um

71
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: at ten o'clock in ten thirty on WPB in Atlanta,

72
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: and in on Mondays you can catch me in the

73
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: evening is on Revolt TV, and you can check it

74
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: out and we can talk from a place of love

75
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: and respect. My inaugural show is Our Mayor, Keashing Lance Bottoms,

76
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: our sixtieth mayor, second female mayor. She did an amazing

77
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: job at showing people she's a human being. I think

78
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: a lot of times because she's like you, Tesma, She's

79
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: a brilliant, beautiful black sister. She's a little more conserved.

80
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: Right from my neighborhood, and you had the good girls,

81
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: and you know, you had kind of while on the

82
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: West Side. She definitely was one of the good girls,

83
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: but her mom was a hairdresser. Dad was a singer.

84
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: He had got locked up for for drugs when she

85
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: was a young person. That split her family apart. She

86
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: pledged her herself to use education or reunite her with

87
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: her friends and grow, and she did that. So you

88
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: really got a chance to see girl as a human being.

89
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: My second show is gonna be with Big Boy this Friday,

90
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: who is in a stupid businessman. He's an icon not

91
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: only within music but street fashion and where. So you

92
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: get a chance to kind of see Big as the

93
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: dad and now it's now like a cool grandpa. And

94
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: I think that people are enjoy seeing that. So my

95
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: show is about showing the humanity of people and about

96
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: doing that in a loving and respectful way versus telling

97
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: people to join my team and bass on those Yeah,

98
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,799
Speaker 1: that's that's what a lot. What I think your strongest quality.

99
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: You have an ability, uh to talk to various different

100
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: people and can articulate the message though that people can understand.

101
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: You moved through hip hop, you moved through business being

102
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: a business owner. They're in Atlanta, Florida. Actually I mean

103
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: not Atlanta. Just said Atlanta, Florida, Atlanta, Georgia. You know,

104
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: actually putting people to work and being able to merge

105
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: those two worlds together and doing it in a way

106
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: that is not disrespectful. Michael, You're not always tell you

107
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: very proud of you, UM really being able to articulate

108
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: the message in an important way, because what a lot

109
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: of people don't understand is you have been an activist

110
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: since fifteen years old. Correct, Yeah, yeah, I was. I

111
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: was an activist before I was a rapper or businessman. Well,

112
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: unless you count selling petty drugs. I tried that import

113
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: team and work out there. Well, I've been an activist.

114
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: UM sitting with a group called Black Teams Advancement, which

115
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: was a group and when violence was really starting to

116
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: pop off at our high school. Uh, former city councilperson

117
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: Quansa Hall, who was in a high school senior, him

118
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: and his homies got us little homies together and they

119
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: was like, Yo, y'all gonna stop this because it's leading

120
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: too much valance. So you guys are gonna get together

121
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: and mediate these things and end this valence or we're

122
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: gonna beat you all ads. And to be honest with you,

123
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: two little homies we started sitting down at the table

124
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: and talking our beasts out and it saved a lot

125
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: of lines. On from there, I met a woman named

126
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: Alice Johnson who was an organizer UM out of Chicago

127
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: and West Virginia. She was she was a white woman,

128
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: she was a social activist, and she was one of

129
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: the first people that showed me truly not what an

130
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 1: ally was but a co conspirator. Alice, much like you,

131
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: was fearless. She thought that you don't organize for people.

132
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: You organize with people. So the people that are that

133
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: have the problems that they're not on the board, then

134
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: you don't have a bullet trying to help him. You're

135
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: just trying to do some charity work to feel good

136
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: about yourself. She's the first person to introduce me to

137
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: Reverend James Orange, who was a member of s CLC

138
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: and organized with Dr King. So I've been training organizing

139
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: by the people who organized directly with Dr King and SCLC,

140
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: directly with the Double A c p UM, directly with SNICK.

141
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: And if it hadn't been for her and people like

142
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: James Orange, I wouldn't be here so long before I

143
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: was a rapp rising organizers. My wife always remind me

144
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: that rapping is my job. So I got a really

145
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: good job. But it also has given me a platform

146
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: now that help mobilize people on behalf of organizers that

147
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: are still on the field or not absolutely, and that

148
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: goes right into the first topic. I'm want to talk

149
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: about your mission before you say that, because this is

150
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: what um you know. Today. As a side note, we

151
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: were able to see you know, Julius Jones have the

152
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: board uh is recommending his clemency. And one of the

153
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: things I posted on my page for those are listening

154
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: to my page is actually at Tesla figua I haven't

00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: you who are joining from BNC. But one of the

157
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: things I pointed out was that how it is so

158
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: important that we have strategy, and you know, you and

159
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: I talked about this all the time. You know, people say, well,

160
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: you know, entertainers don't matter when they speak up, or

161
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: marching doesn't matter, or protest doesn't matter, or old Tesla,

162
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: you're just talking on TV, it doesn't matter. Or when

163
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: I'm training somebody it doesn't matter. And you and I

164
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: talk a lot about having a collaborative effort, of strategic

165
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: effort and what I call push the line and you

166
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: call organized strategized, mobilized, plot and playing. I'm saying it

167
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: out of order, but it's all the same thing. But

168
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: one of the things I wanted to point out to you,

169
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: and I always say this, and this, this really hits

170
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: home when you talked about allies. And you know, I

171
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: tell folks all the time that there are different levels,

172
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, to the game. And you do a wonderful

173
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: job on allies, bringing in partners people of color, white, whatever, Jewish, Italian, whatever.

174
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: You do a great job of bringing allies into the

175
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: political folk. And it's so interesting because I actually my

176
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: staff and firm that I owned in Orlando with three

177
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: hundred employees, what's called the Allied Group. And so in business, yeah,

178
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: it was actually called the Allied Group, and our mission

179
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: was said that we're horizontal organization and nobody's above or

180
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: beneath the community, our clients and our candidates. Because it

181
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: was a staffing firm, guy's our direction. So in business,

182
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: I was very much about being an ally. In politics, Mike,

183
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: I find myself being a soldier also was in the military.

184
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: I was an M sixty gunner in the military. And

185
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: I say this because I want to bring this point home.

186
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 1: And then I'm gonna give the mic back to kill

187
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: the mike. But I believe that there's roles in politics.

188
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: We have allies that you talk about, We have accomplices

189
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: that our sisters shout out to. To mak A Mallory

190
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: with Until Freedom, you and her were on the stage

191
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: together at the Grammy Awards and she talked about accomplices,

192
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: which is folks as riding along. You know, always give

193
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: the analogy from the hood riding along in the car

194
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: with you and they're driving you to the spot, but

195
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: they don't necessarily put in the work. But where I

196
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: feel my role is being a soldier, which is why

197
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: my podcast is called straight Shot No Chaser, meaning that

198
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: we also need soldiers. We need a small a group

199
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: of folks that are willing to put their fingers, their

200
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: DNA all up in it and willing to risk it all.

201
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: So with all three of those things, allies, accomplices, and soldiers,

202
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: I think we can move forward. So with that said,

203
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 1: I want to hear your thoughts on that, and then

204
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: I want you to explain how that ties into my strategy,

205
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: which is pushed the line politics until something happens, and

206
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: into your mission, which is plot plan strategized, organized, and mobilize. Yeah,

207
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: but well you push the line into something that happens.

208
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: If if you, for me, were pushing the line, that

209
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: just means, hey, you you're not You're not gonna stop

210
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: that you're not gonna stop. That's one thing when you

211
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: said when you when you when you look at on

212
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: the street perspective, you say, man, am I gonna am

213
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: I gonna engage this person? You have to say, man,

214
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: this this person gonna push the line on the like

215
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: what does that mean? That means that nothing's gonna be safe.

216
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: They're gonna scorch the earth to make it happen. So

217
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: if I engage this person, I have to make sure

218
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: all the way that means if I'm on the seat

219
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: next to this person, because you then and ain't enough

220
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: just to be an accomplished I gotta be a conspirator.

221
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: When you arride with somebody that's gonna push the line.

222
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: You got to know when I get in this call,

223
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: I ain't trade. I don't get to say let me

224
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: get out. You know what I mean? This thing all

225
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: the way or this hold you're gonna go on me

226
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: with me with plot playing, strategized, organized, and mobilized. What

227
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: I'm seeing is, you know, first you plot something out,

228
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: you think it's just a good idea. Then you get

229
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: with other people you're playing, then you strategize, you come

230
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: up with what is a real strategy. If I show

231
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: up and I sit on the lunch counter and I

232
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: allow people to pour things on me, and I allow

233
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: them to do the world to see how ugly that

234
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: he is, that's a moral compass. To show the world

235
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: that things he could change. America gets embarrass that changes.

236
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: If you still trying to do that modus sixty years later,

237
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: then I can guarantee you they've already out organized around that,

238
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: and now they might even be using your thing to say, well,

239
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: this is reversing. So Dick Gregory told me until he

240
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: cuts me until it for about forty five minutes, I'm

241
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: talking to my wife on my side with me and

242
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: t I first met Seve Gregory. We got on on

243
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: the phone. When we say hey, it's the Gregory ship.

244
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: We mare it's all attracted. He said, Nigga, we did.

245
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: That's extre is. And don't what the hellerg Nigga's talking

246
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: about because I'm black out, and what I understood at

247
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: the end of that conversation is pushing the line means

248
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: that I'm going to constantly be willing to reinvent what

249
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm doing to push the line. I'm constantly going to

250
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 1: engage them. When I say plot, planing, strategize, organized, and mobilize.

251
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: Organized is probably the most powerful word in that. I've

252
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: been watching a lot of stokely car Michael the Crumbie

253
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: tour ad this week, and he always came back to

254
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: the same thing. Black people across the globe need to

255
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: be in a constant state of organization. Every time I

256
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: talked to Tesla, figure O, I am met with the

257
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: greeting I love your brother. I met with this is

258
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: what's happened, this is what I'm encouraging. But I met

259
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: with a challenge to organize. What are we doing on

260
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: the ground level? Boost in the ground? Organized? And I

261
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: am a mobilizer, meaning although I'm not on the day

262
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: to day basis organized and next to TESLAA Tesla make

263
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: sure that I'm educated about what is going on. Others

264
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: and including j B who's the brother out of Tulsa,

265
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: Um who's a rapper who first let me know about

266
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: the junior case. Brothers like Um Mr check point out there.

267
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: These people make sure I'm informed and when it's time

268
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: for me to get people in best in my Alabama

269
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: to talk about what's going on in an Amazon factory,

270
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: they make sure I have the information to help mobilize

271
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: to get people there. And in his in his greatest

272
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: of heydays, It's important to understand that Dr King, although

273
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: was was an organizer with the s CLC, what he

274
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: grew into was one of the greatest mobilizes this country

275
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: has ever seen. So when we say, especially in the

276
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: Black community, um, celebrities don't have a place in this

277
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: the only reason I knew who Malcolm is because Malcolm

278
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: is if they often use a cult clip of Malcolm

279
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: critiquing the fact that we use comedians and stuff to

280
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: to get people together. I'd like to say if it

281
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: wasn't for people like Muhammad Ali that some of the

282
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: some of the message Japan Africanism wouldn't have gotten now

283
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: after he joined the Nation of Mislam. And actually, if

284
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: it wasn't for people like did Gregory, Malcolm's legacy would

285
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: not have lived on. If it wasn't be entertainments like

286
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 1: Spike Lee that did a movie. No matter how you

287
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: feel about that movie and pique my interest was one

288
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: of the reasons that I started reading about him. But

289
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: I want to tell people this, Arnold Swarzenegger was an

290
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: act Ronald Reagan, who they call the greatest president ever,

291
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 1: was in that. When you look at John Wayne and

292
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: Charlton Heston, who was the head and once at one

293
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: time the inn al right, both were actors. Sonny Bono

294
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: as an actor. Al Franken is an actor. And I

295
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: can go own and on and on with a lot

296
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: of people that a white destituency and conservatives constituency and

297
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: especially has used celebrity to mobilize people on their behalf.

298
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: And what I'd like to encourage us to do is

299
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: do less less slander of of of of of athletes

300
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: and entertainments and more education. We have to do what

301
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: Fred happened does. You have to brought it down to

302
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: ten specific points that are so simple. What you give

303
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: it to little baby, dub Baby or even some third

304
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: graders sun babies. That is easily type, easily digested, and

305
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: it's easily done, just easy understood and easy to get

306
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: back out there. So rather than slandering one another, resent

307
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: put each other down, let's come up with a very simple,

308
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: effective ten points, and let's start to educate one another

309
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: so that we get on point. So that when I

310
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: organized our leaders like Tesla and Figura already, you get

311
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: mobilizers like me that comes that next to her, make

312
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: sure the crowd is there, say my piece, and then

313
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: give the stage to Truity, the organizers that are going

314
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: to give us instruction. Yeah, and I think that's where

315
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: of the disconnect is. You are okay with passing the mic,

316
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: but what we've seen and this is not what celebrities

317
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: I'm talking about, just elected leaders who have just become

318
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: comfortable and leading every discussion when we I don't know

319
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: why we're so anti actors because to me, almost everybody

320
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: in in politics is an actor, especially this congress that

321
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: we're seeing right now. That's right, these are Oscar Award

322
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: winning actors. In fact, we need a whole a whole

323
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: new award section for those that act the best. But

324
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: with that said, it is it is really the ego

325
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: um that is the challenge where people don't want to

326
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: move aside. And it's so disappointing because we're not asking

327
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: you to move out the way, We're just asking you

328
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: to pass the mic so that when we always say

329
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: each one, teach one, everybody can be touched, everybody doesn't

330
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: hear the same message for the same people. We have

331
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: to be able, um, to have various messages, talk to

332
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: various demographics to touch them all. Shout out for BNC

333
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: News for allowing me even to have you know, this conversation.

334
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: This would never happen on an MSNBC, A CNN or

335
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: Fox News. No this to anybody, But I don't see

336
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: I G handles being lent to folks at least like

337
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: me and you to have a very candid conversation, not

338
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: telling us what you can and cannot say. So again,

339
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: black media is important those platforms, but we still need

340
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: to be to be able to go over the PBS

341
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: like you're doing or when I go to Fox News.

342
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: We still have to get all of those, all of

343
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: those platforms dominated and understand that we have different perspectives.

344
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: So with that said, I want to get straight into

345
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: the politics and some things because again I know we're

346
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: going on top time tomorrow is a big election race. Um.

347
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: We could go on and on about if the plotting

348
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: and the planning and the organizing was on point, because

349
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: really we were to have this conversation, we would go

350
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: all the way back when I became an independent voter,

351
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: uh in two thousand twelve, when Democrats lost. Then what

352
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: people are seeing Mike for the first time is a

353
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,479
Speaker 1: repeat of what happened last time. But the thing is

354
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 1: the differences. People were so in love with Barack Obama

355
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 1: that they didn't want to hear anything I had to

356
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: say about the lack of organizing that was going on

357
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: on the ground. Barack Obama did a president, Barack Obama

358
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: did a magnificent job, would organize for America, but people

359
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: did not necessarily learn how to implement that on the ground.

360
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: And so when you have a lack of organization, when

361
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: you have a lack of planting seeds, why should we

362
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: expect a harvest tomorrow? So give us your thoughts on

363
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: um on that, and then I want you to talk

364
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: about how Virginia, how do you see Virginia really laying

365
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 1: the groundwork? And just as the point of clarity, Virginia

366
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: has always lost whatever power was in office, Virginia has

367
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: uh always went in the opposite direction. However, except when

368
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: Terry Terry ran the last time he actually did, I

369
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: was able to keep the same power in Congress. So

370
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 1: tell us what do you see uh for Virginia and

371
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: what does that mean? Not just people know are very

372
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: familiar with you being a seragan from Bernie Sanders and

373
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: a progressive, but people also don't understand that you can

374
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: have a conversation outside of that. What do you see

375
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: Virginia as being the telltale sign on what we should

376
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: expect in two thousand and twenty two? And is it

377
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: because we did not or they did not follow the

378
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: philosophy of Fred Hampton? Well, yeah, because you don't. Democrats

379
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: have done have done an amazing job at calling their

380
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: girl for their from burbial girlfriends at two or three

381
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: in the morning and not delivering anything for their birthday.

382
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: You know, there there's a there's a phenomenon that when

383
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: they're in trouble, they come out and they say, hey,

384
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: we're in trouble. We need you to flip Georgia, we

385
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: need you to flip Texas, and we got something for

386
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: you when we've done. What you have for me is

387
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 1: never clearly defined, is usually reactionary in some kind of ways,

388
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 1: saying protect us, it's very often not affirmative, and saying

389
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: this is what we want and this is what we deserve.

390
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: And I think that Virginia may suffer because of that,

391
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 1: UM and beyond Virginia may suffering, I think in two

392
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 1: the Democrats are prepping to get beat pretty badly. Because

393
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: when you have a woman I saw on Sunday Sunday

394
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: Morning News UM say that I can't afford to get

395
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: two gallons of milk for my babies a week because

396
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: gallons of milk and now five dollars. When when you

397
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: see people, whether the headlines are true or not, when

398
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: a headline runs that says forty five billion promise to

399
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: HBC used two billion on is only only two billions

400
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: get into them? Wasn't that's inflammatory or not? If you're

401
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: not ahead of the story to say this has happening,

402
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: both feel bad. Oftentimes, when I talked to candidates locally,

403
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: what I say to them is if and win elected,

404
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: what wins are you going to give people early? Because

405
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: people need affordable house people need to know that something

406
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: is being done about homeless as people need to know

407
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: that jobs are coming. And if you don't do that,

408
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: then people are gonna feel like they've wasted their time.

409
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: They're gonna get apathetic to the political process. So, although

410
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: I hope I don't see that in Virginia, the danger

411
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: is there, although I hope I don't see that. In

412
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: two the danger sold there at the gym. Clyde bowing

413
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: Um has popped back up out of South Carolina, this

414
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: time not the sabotage anyone's campine, but to say, oh

415
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: ship boss, we in tromp and if it were, if

416
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: we're saying that now, then we have to start saying

417
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: if we're not going to whoop them locally or state

418
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: I mean state wide and nationally, what can we do locally?

419
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: So I'm for everyone to not worry as much about

420
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: Virginia if you're not going to Virginia to help my

421
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: boots on the ground, if you're not actively putting out

422
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: positive stuff encouraging people online, and if you're not active,

423
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: if you're not actively able to get there and influence,

424
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: focus on us going on around you. Because in Atlanta

425
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: right now, we have a very hot mayorial races going on,

426
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: and it's not the fact that the mayorial race is

427
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: hot because policy is getting discussed. To me, it's become

428
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: a mustling in affair. It's become something very dirty um

429
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: and it's going to hurt black candidates in this city,

430
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: is this city becomes less black in the up and

431
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: coming elections to come in the next twenty years. I

432
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: think it's wrong. The type of um, the type of

433
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: campaigns that I'm seeing run, I think it's ugly, and

434
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: I think that there's something that's going to come back

435
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: Karmen to bite us in our food. In Atlanta, I'm

436
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: seeing mayorial candidates approached by old mayors inciting it in

437
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 1: some way because of association. These people are rough. When

438
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: I could easily say the same thing about that mayor,

439
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: I'm seeing Mayor or your candidates stand next to people

440
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: who are Trump supporters, obvious white supremacy. They have not

441
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: seen a fair election in forty years. In mind you,

442
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: we've had people like Maymie Jackson, Google him and the

443
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: young group him able to bring economic prosperity to the

444
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 1: whole and make sure that our community was taken care of.

445
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: And I think that we're making a big mistake aching

446
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: Atlanta in the way we're campaigning. So I pour other

447
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: black cities like Charlotte, Columbia, um Jacksonville, Tampa, Birmingham to

448
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 1: look at the mistakes that are being made now. Because oftentime,

449
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: after miss McConnell and Nacy Pelosi talked about each other

450
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: after words the day after they are on the same

451
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: board meetings that we're not in it besides infrastructure, that

452
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: we're not in Like it was tell y'all she was like, hey, y'all,

453
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: we didn't finished fight, and we didn't got everybody elected,

454
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: and none of us at the table, the side where

455
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 1: the money goes. If we don't start getting in the

456
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: room by ourselves to say what's this gonna look like

457
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: for our community? If we only start wanting and keep

458
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: running about ego and title and prominence, then we're gonna

459
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: lose those seats. We're gonna lose real footing in our

460
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: ability to help our community. And it's all want to

461
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: be because of pride and ego and lack of organizing.

462
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: What Tesla tells us on a constant basis is we

463
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: must be boots on the ground, pushing the line organizing.

464
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: That is the exact same thing that Plumbatori said to us.

465
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: What she also says that there are certain things we

466
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: don't need to involve ourselves. Being certain public debate is

467
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: not about us step to yourself private to get with

468
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: your neighborhood units, get what your city council people, and

469
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: do what George Jackson appolled you to do. Get you

470
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: a secret army, Get you a secret army of voters together,

471
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: get your secret shooting club together, Get you a secret

472
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: fruit and vegetable bottling club together. But I'm telling you,

473
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: if we do not do for self, we're gonna be

474
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: are the only ones on the outside of the gates

475
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: while everybody else in the city feast. And then the

476
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: next two or four years and we're gonna regret it,

477
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be turning around look by allies and

478
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna be gone. We're gonna be looking at the complies.

479
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: They're gonna be donna win fair and tying rat on us.

480
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: And if we have any coded spiritus, they're gonna be

481
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 1: few and far swings because they're gonna be their hall

482
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: um for all a tree already to scare us. So

483
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: I'm telling you get about your ship, because if you're

484
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: not about your ship in two the Republicans are definitely

485
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: gonna be shp in on that perfect analogy. You don't

486
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: I encourage people local, you know, if if if federals

487
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: is is frustrating you again, local racist city races, a

488
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: city commissioner, mayor. We're only talking about four or five

489
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: people in most cities, seven people, ten people. Some of

490
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: the largest cities may have ten or twelve in in

491
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: or in um in Orlando, with six commissioners and a mayor,

492
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 1: that's a lot of power. So when you're trying to

493
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: figure out, well, hey, how come Corey Bush can't get

494
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: them to do this, So how come Bernie Sanders can't

495
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: get them to do do this? And a body of hundreds

496
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 1: of people that represent people all over the country. Get

497
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: involved in your local races, and you'll be surprised on

498
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: what can actually happen. I'm always trying to do training.

499
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: I want to give this plug to everybody. I'm always

500
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: trying to do free training. My goal is to have

501
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: a thousand people boots on the ground by mid turns

502
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: next year to get some type of game, some type

503
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: of knowledge, because I think we we don't do enough

504
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: political education. We do a lot of forums and interviews

505
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: and talks, but I'm really trying to do that. I'm

506
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: looking forward to working with you next year on some

507
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: things when it comes to actually voter education as well.

508
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna do that. We're definitely gonna do a push

509
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: the line plot plan strategized cold. I think that you

510
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: are one of the most able and willing teachers there.

511
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 1: If my if my presence help mobilizing, not only my presidence,

512
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: my money, because we're gonna scholar shield some people in Atlanta.

513
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: I don't want you using money as an excuse not

514
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: to come. We're gonna get some books on the ground,

515
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: organizers with you, and we're gonna organize. It doesn't ultimately

516
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 1: matter to me what the people decide. It matters that

517
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: the people decide and decide from a place of education.

518
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: I've long been telling people that I honestly think there's

519
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: gonna be some type of split. I think you're gonna

520
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: see black household split. I think you're gonna start to

521
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: see black men go to a more conservative voting base

522
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 1: because a lot of their reward they're seeing. And this

523
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: is what I'm getting in the barbershop, they fayed up

524
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: with this. I vote for you, an't get ship ship.

525
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: And I think that those men, before they make this

526
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: drastic decision to go all the way the other side,

527
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: that they need to understand what being independent can do.

528
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: They need to sit in the room with Tenselent and say, well,

529
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: how can the twenty black men affect an election in

530
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: one of the war I mean, and one of the

531
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: sorrows in Atlantic And I think that if we started

532
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: doing these small victories and these small victories, started expecting

533
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: things on a small level, then you start to see

534
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: bigger change. Now give you an example. There's a woman

535
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 1: named Chief Judge josh A. Jackson in the cab County.

536
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 1: I knew Chief Judge josh Jackson was gonna be chief

537
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: judge when was eleven years old, because when he was

538
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: eleven years old, she was pushing the line on ours already.

539
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: She was like, we going to college, You're gonna do this.

540
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this. This is an eleven years old.

541
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: Her last two years of high school, she struggled with homelessness.

542
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: Her and her mother, we did not have any idea.

543
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: Her last two years. She was like, Michael, I'm dyslexic,

544
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: so it's hard for me to write my paper. She said,

545
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 1: you write it out, don't you worry about it. I'll

546
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: type it out, type my papers out. Made so I

547
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: got into college with more house. He went up to Buffalo,

548
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: went to topic. She's now chief judge. She started a

549
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: program to end recidivism where she allowed people who may

550
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: have been called up in bullsh into her court to

551
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to take a year to change their

552
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: life instead of going to jail. Miss our Lee, who

553
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: was a woman who was in the juvenile court in

554
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: Pullton County for was was appointed to a position by

555
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: Republican government, is very progressive. Woman from juvenile court was

556
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: a point. So Chief Judge Josh Jackson as a woman

557
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: who grows up those are Frederick Douglas High schools, comes

558
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: out he's a lawyer. Now judge creates a program that

559
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: gets picked up by progressive woman that's appointed by a

560
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: conservative governor. This program, now, instead of men getting and

561
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: women getting out of jail with twenty five bucks and

562
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: a sack of close, get out with resources to help

563
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: them really get in acclimated towards society and become citizens again,

564
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: and not just for citivism members again. This is the

565
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: power of doing things on a local level. So I

566
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: impoor people as you get caught up in the national fervor,

567
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 1: right as you get caught up in what's happening in

568
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: Virginia and DC in those places. Don't forget what's going

569
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 1: on ten blocks around you, because you whatever you're doing

570
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 1: in your city can become the prototype for other cities

571
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: to use become better for their citizens and more progressive.

572
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: One other example I give you is Mayor Ted who

573
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: was in one of the smallest municipalities in the state

574
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: of Georgia, Alan Clarkston. He decriminalized marijuana full two or

575
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: three years before city like Atlanta did, and thankfully under

576
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: the city council at that time in America, seeing read

577
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 1: they followed his plan. They also decriminalized me or one

578
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: up to announce and it has allowed a lot of

579
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: kids who are in college you would have lost their scholarships,

580
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: the ability to stay in school, and has lost a

581
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: lot of black men and women who would have lost

582
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: their jobs, the ability to keep their jobs and take

583
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: care of their families. I think it was one of

584
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: the wisest decisions he did his mayor, and I look

585
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: forward to more wise decision coming on the local level

586
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: because people understand. People are ready to be more progressive

587
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: on the ground here. Absolutely, and even when you see

588
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: with the City of l a is doing pushing some

589
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: of the most progressive police reform. When you look at

590
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: Colorado completely ignored, you know, a state that actually ended

591
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: qualified immunity, has one of the most progressive UH police

592
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: reformed policies in the country. When you look at Houston,

593
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: what Houston has done with a black mayor. Houston is

594
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: number four, fourth largest city in the country. And you

595
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: look at the fact that he banned Choko's immediately after

596
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: George Ford was murdered. When you look at he actually

597
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: created an easier way to report UH police misconduct, you know,

598
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: using technology which you don't see on the federal level.

599
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: When you look at the fact of that he has

600
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: put in place about body cameras, pushing twenty four hour voting,

601
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: all of those things were done with the snap of

602
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: the finger. Because at the local level, it is the

603
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: executive branch. There is no Joe Mansions, there is no cinemas,

604
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: There is no thousands of people, you know, to get

605
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: to determine. It's usually about six or seven or ten

606
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: or fifteen that make a decision and you can push

607
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: the line. And when I go over training, when I

608
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: get into that, I show people how a lot of

609
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: these states Mike, you and I talked about the other days.

610
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: You were like, Wow, we're talking about I was telling

611
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: you about Compton, and I was saying, even though you

612
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: have six hundred thousand people register vote, it's only ten

613
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: twenty thousand people that come to the post. Some cities,

614
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,280

627
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,960

00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,600

Speaker 1: they can say whatever they want to say about it.

633
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: But one thing about Regina Hill, She's about getting to work.

634
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: So I will talk about that at another time. But

635
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: before we get out of here, I do you touched

636
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: a little bit on black men and that that was

637
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: I'm glad you said that because that's the last point

638
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,440

00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: Shout out to BNC News for making this happen. My

645
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: last question to you, Mike, you mentioned black men, and

646
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: so I want to ask you. You said, you know,

647
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: black men are getting tired and fed up. And one

648
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: of the things that we see as we talk about

649
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: black voters, we know that black men are included in

650
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: black voters because obviously black voters are black men and

651
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: black women. But there has been conversation and particularly in Atlanta,

652
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: on how black men and all over the country, but

653
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: I want to speak specifically to Atlanta because obviously that

654
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: was who was courted the most and dated the most,

655
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: and you know, went did put so many resources into

656
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: flipping Georgia. But black men are feeling I'll ask you,

657
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: are they feeling left out? Is it they left out?

658
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: Because maybe the media has a fear of black men.

659
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: Are they left out? Because honestly, black women do vote

660
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: in higher numbers, but we know they can vote to

661
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: higher numbers for several reasons. One of them is voted suppression.

662
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: But are they left out because, like you said, they

663
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: kind of like, forget it. I don't want to be

664
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: a part of that anymore. Why are black men feeling

665
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: left out? And two? Is there something we can do

666
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: about it? And to my sisters, are you willing to

667
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: allow black men to lead? You know there's always a

668
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: conversation black women lead, black women leading. I'm all about

669
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: that because for far too long black women have not

670
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: had a chance to lead. But we also complain that

671
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: black men are not leading enough households. So my question

672
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: to you is can black men lead their house and

673
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: for ladies? Before you get mad and start adding me

674
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: understand that when we are voting, much like white men,

675
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: the household votes, and if black men are leading their households,

676
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: you're usually following that black men because that black men,

677
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: because that's sir. And what white women do, they follow

678
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: their white men, which is why so many white women

679
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: voted for Trump. So I want to ask you those

680
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: questions three things. Why are black men feeling left out?

681
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: Are they left out by choice? Or is the media

682
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: making it that way? And three is the black community

683
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: prepared for black men lead? Well, black men are being

684
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: left out because we're being left out purpose. Black men

685
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: do come out and vote, We vote over nine Democrat.

686
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: And when I'm talking about black men now, I'm specifically

687
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: talking about black working class men. Those men that I

688
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: see standing in the line in their work uniforms before

689
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: and we're doing lunch and after. Those men deserve acknowledgement.

690
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: Those men deserve praise, and those men deserve something for

691
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: their vote. So I'm gonna say that to all politicians.

692
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: If you do not start paying attention to the black

693
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: worker class man, you're gonna see even greater absences in

694
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: the black vote because they're part of the Black vote.

695
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: Because you're not servicing them. When you talk as a

696
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: southeastern or right running for governor or running for mayor

697
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: and you speak against safe, for instance, the A R

698
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: fifteen rifles. When you speak against that and I live

699
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: in Camilla, Georgia, or I live in Brunswick, Georgia, or

700
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: I live in North Florida, You're probably losing my vote

701
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: as you say that national policy because I have to

702
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: live next to the people with the seventy five ft

703
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: rebel flags hanging above the their one. And I'm not

704
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 1: gonna live there and not have a rifle. There's no way.

705
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: So you need to understand the nuance and how to

706
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: talk to me. You need to help me understand why

707
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: it makes sense for me to want another workforce, even

708
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: to come into my community that may be competing with

709
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: my job. You're losing a lot of us regionally because

710
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,439
Speaker 1: you're you're doing totallying politics nationally and you're not paying

711
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 1: attention to what my needs and wants are. You're not

712
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,240
Speaker 1: doing enough to help make more positive child support laws

713
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: their states where I have to pay child support and

714
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: the woman is not forced to allow me to spend

715
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: time with my children. You someone politicians are only clever

716
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: enough to say, hold on, that's not right. You know,

717
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: in terms of black men being left out of the

718
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: media um discourse, absolutely they are becau hus If you

719
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 1: put a man in the media discourse, then you're gonna

720
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: start hearing some man answers, especially the working class man.

721
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: They like putting the brothers who went to more House

722
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: with me and went to some of the h b

723
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 1: c U s and then you get the Ivy League,

724
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 1: the Harvest and Gale. They like putting us up there, right,

725
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 1: But they don't necessarily want to uncles up there because

726
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 1: I often don't say before I give yourself that what

727
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: you got, because I don't open the ages and you

728
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:27,439
Speaker 1: understand commerce you understand, and in matters of a black

729
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: man leading the household, I just want to say from

730
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: the time the hold before you answer that, because I

731
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: won't complete clarity because I see some comments that I

732
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: am not talking about uh leading the household literally, I

733
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: mean the vote. I know you understand, but you know

734
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: people are always looking for a way for for black

735
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: men and black women to beef. So I want to

736
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: make sure that they understand clarity on what I'm asking.

737
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 1: When we feel out the census, when we feel out poles.

738
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: When we vote, two houses typically vote together. You can

739
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: have a house where you may have a Democrat and Republican.

740
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: But when I say leave the household, I'm talking about

741
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: actually the vote, not who says what bills are paying

742
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: and so forth. I want to put that out there

743
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: because you know they love looking for reasons to separate us.

744
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: So go ahead, me's lady right, He'll have them talk.

745
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: But before I vote, I sit down and I say, so,

746
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: who you like and why you like them, and what's

747
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: best for our household, and what's best for our business

748
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: and what's best for the community. Now. A lot of

749
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: times I know you sell. You don't want to be

750
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: a lot of times we we we agree because to

751
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: be honest, financially and my wife could be much more

752
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: conservative than me. I'll be with let's let's let's help everybody,

753
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: let's do everything. She'd be like me, bro, please when

754
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: we gotta make sure that we use problem in law seeks.

755
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: We got fifty employees, you know, UM, but voting has

756
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: never happened in the vacuum, just between men and women

757
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: in our community. Frederick Douglas warned that UM voting should

758
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 1: be given to to not only black people, but women

759
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,919
Speaker 1: that the very same time. Because America was smart enough

760
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: not to do that. In their devious ways, they split

761
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: the abolitionists and the women sufrage movement. Soon after black

762
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: men got the right to vote black men, when churches

763
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 1: in South Carolina voting black women had shotguns and rifles

764
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 1: surrounding that church to make sure them hood. The klansman

765
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: was not gonna interrupt the voting process, but the photo

766
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: vote happened, a discussion happening. So I run my household

767
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: the same way my grandparents ran. You know what that

768
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: means equally and yolt and discussion together. As a man,

769
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: it is my job to be the captain, the point person,

770
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: the leader, the spokesman. But I do not leave speak

771
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: or points just for myself. It is a consensus that

772
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: comes between me and my woman, and oftentimes me my

773
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: woman and our greater family. So for me, when I

774
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: say I'm a black man, I'm the leader, that just

775
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: means I'm a quarterback on the field. If you ain't

776
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: got no offensive lineman, you ain't got no running back,

777
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: you ain't got no wide receiving, You're just gonna be

778
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: a beat up as quarterback on the back of that field.

779
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: So I was in charge of leading. I leave, we

780
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: lead according to morals and principalities, not just on a

781
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,439
Speaker 1: whim that Michael may wake up. So I encouraged black

782
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: families to sit down, turn off your TV, talk to

783
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: each other over the kitchen table, like I saw my

784
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: grandparents do. Talk to your neighbors. The side's best for

785
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: you as individuals, for you as a couple, was you

786
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: for your household, your neighbors, and move accordingly. Don't let

787
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 1: these TV folks, and don't let people from other communities

788
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: split you up. Don't let them split you as a family.

789
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: Don't let them split you as a community. Don't let

790
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: them split organizations because like my grandfather was fun and

791
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: telling me that dem folks business that ain't got nothing

792
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: to do with me, your grandst Well, Mike, you said it,

793
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 1: you ended it, dropping the mic as usual. So important.

794
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to touch on that because it's so so important,

795
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: um that as you talk about the mission to plot, playing, strategized, organized, mobilized,

796
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: that we do need each other. As I talked about

797
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: push the line, my push the Line logo, as you know,

798
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,399
Speaker 1: has two men in two and a child on the side,

799
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 1: that's watching two men and two people in a business

800
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: suit and two people in street clothes. All of them

801
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: are pushing the line. One is pushing the P, one

802
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 1: is pushing the U, the S and the H. And

803
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: what people notice on that shirt, they're not looking to

804
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: the side to say, well, what is Mike doing and

805
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: why Mike ain't doing this? They're looking ahead and they're

806
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: looking forward. They're pushing forward, paying attention to what can

807
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: I do? Is that on social media? Is that side

808
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 1: of petition? Is it donate five dollars? Is it being

809
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 1: the a run or is it being the Moses? But

810
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: the goal is is that you are actually pushing the

811
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: line politics until something happens. And if we do that,

812
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: we can move forward. And I did that logo strategically

813
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: with two men and two women for a reason and

814
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: a child on the side, because what they see, they

815
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: will be and so if they can see us continue

816
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: to connect like this on Black News Channel to talk

817
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: about issues that are pertaining to the black community. Are

818
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: to watch you on PBS, but making sure that you

819
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: also had an air on Revolt TV, which is also

820
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 1: owned by man our brother Sean Puff what they call

821
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: Puff Daddy Combs um, so all of that is important

822
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: as we continue to organize, as we contain to move forward.

823
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: I want to thank you and your wife for the time.

824
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: Shout out two mrs. The mrs who who is in

Speaker 1: thank you. You know what else gonna I'm voting with him.

827
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: We sit out in the household, we decide what we

828
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 1: want outside of our household, and we made that decision together.

829
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: So this is we're voting for. We'll talk about while

00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 1: hip hop couple, it could be a whole hip love

835
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: and hip hop just on the Render family alone, because

836
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: they do everything. It's a beautiful love and beautiful relationship.

837
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: I wish I wish I could say the same to

838
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: have that type of camaraderie. But it took you. You

839
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: had to go through a lot to get there. You know,

840
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: it's not everybody's business to know, but y'all go, you

841
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 1: had to get me together. Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah,

842
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: you definitely got gathered. But I want to I want

843
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: to tell everybody this, man, I know a lot of

844
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: times testing you are like ourdevor of the Bible. You're

845
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 1: truly a warrior and a woman that I was a

846
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: man was gladly following following the battle because that's what

847
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 1: the Lord is intended me to do. I want to

848
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: tell the people that take time to spread negativity online that,

849
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: like I've just seen a brother, he said sellout, Brother,

850
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: you won't I g If you're gonna call me a sellout,

851
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: do it on black Plena. That ship don't mean nothing.

852
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: I want to say that the time that you spend

853
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 1: sending negative messages and doubtful words, you should spend with

854
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: young people in your community trying to help them be

855
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 1: better organizers by becoming one. The time that you spend

856
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: disparaging people online, you should spend in your community actually

857
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: doing something, dude. And if not, then I just know

858
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: you co and tell pro and I don't care what

859
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: you say. I believe that many of the people on

860
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: our front lines or really just fellal agents and long

861
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: after weeks all we're gonna see a list of a

862
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: lot of the niggas that I knew that work that

00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 1: we're gonna say work for the government, the same way

864
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,959
Speaker 1: they did with Dr King. I remember asking Andy one time,

865
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 1: if y'all knew that guy was working for the face,

866
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: why did y'all talking from on? Can they say we

867
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: just tell a bunch of misinformation and jime, you got

Speaker 1: be coming with the right that's right, and we're gonna know,

874
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: We come from the streets. We're a little bit different

875
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: than the ones on on all those other networks. And

876
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 1: I also want to say this to anybody saying something negative.

877
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,280
Speaker 1: The best way you can prove this to me tomorrow's

00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: go live at the job. Go take your phone, do

Speaker 1: what me and Mike do. Go live to tell your

00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: supervisor how you feel, and make sure you go live.

881
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: Tell them how you really feel. Call them all kind

Speaker 1: Georgia PBS station on Fridays. You can catch it on

910
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,240
Speaker 1: Mondays on a Vote TV. I would like to encourage

911
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: the people that are listening from Atlanta to police go

912
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: out and vote tomorrow. Um, if you want to know

913
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: who I'm voting for, I'm voting for the person that

914
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 1: and the Young endorsed. And that's because I trust and

915
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: the Young as a leader. I know he has had

916
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: over seventy years of experience. I know he has been

917
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: a mayor of my great city. He brought forty billion

918
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,479
Speaker 1: dollars into this city in the N eleven billion, which

919
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: directly went into black contractors, companies, and hands and workers.

920
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,600
