What's he talking about? I think 18 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 4: y'all want to stay tuned to hear what he's had 19 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 4: to say lately. 20 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: It's definitely said some things so we've been saying for 21 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: many years now. Say her name in reference to Sandra 22 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: Bland and then of course to Breonna Taylor and so 23 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: many others where I'm from in Seattle, Charlene and Lyles. 24 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: But An officer was finally sentenced related to the shooting 25 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: death of Brehanna Taylor and Louisville, Kentucky. This week, we 26 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:20,839 Speaker 1: also discussed that, Okay, theo here's another question for you. 27 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 5: What was Prometheus's punishment for bringing fire to man? 28 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 6: He was Jane to a boulder. 29 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 4: You know, it's exciting to be so near to your 30 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 4: great mind? 31 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,639 Speaker 6: Well, could you get a little nearer to my great mind? 32 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 3: That was, of course Malcolm Jamal Warner, who tragically passed 33 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 3: away this week in Costa Rica. He was there on 34 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 3: vacation with his wife and daughter. And you know this, 35 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 3: I think this death hit us all in such a 36 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 3: way because of what the Cosby Show meant to black 37 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 3: life here in America, So everybody, but more closely to us. 38 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 3: It was interesting even watching the media this morning because 39 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 3: Ozzy Osbourne also passed away, and you saw on a 40 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 3: lot of the morning shows it was all these like 41 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 3: long tributes and interviews over Ozzy Osbourne. And I think 42 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 3: so many of us in Black America thought man, we 43 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 3: lost someone who was a member of an institution this week. 44 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 3: The interesting thing to me, I'm sure it's true for 45 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 3: you guys. The Cosby Show had such a large audience 46 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 3: in the eighties. Every Thursday, they would capture fifty percent 47 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 3: of the TV viewing audience. Now you don't get those 48 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 3: kind of numbers anymore. Super Bowl doesn't even get those 49 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 3: kind of numbers anymore. Yeah, So fifty percent of the 50 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 3: people who had televisions were tuned into The Cosby Show, 51 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 3: and we could just drop things like Gordon Guard Trail 52 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 3: and the bands he used to make, and all the 53 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 3: things that he the classic timeless memories that he gave us. 54 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 3: And I know so many it hit me. It makes 55 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 3: me sad. But interview in particular, I know so many 56 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 3: black men or even Angela, like the black men we know. 57 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 3: I know so many black men who said this death 58 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 3: struck them so hard, like they're like my whole day 59 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 3: or generation. 60 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 4: Yeah. 61 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, So I'm curious how a death struck you guys. 62 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I think that one. I just want to 63 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: comment on the type of person that Malcolm Jamal Warner was. 64 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: I didn't have the privilege of being very close to him, 65 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: but every time we had an interaction or in exchange, 66 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: he was always so uplifting, so encouraging, always, you know, 67 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: good jobs. This just really really for the people, and 68 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: it feels like he really loved life. I am devastated 69 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: for his young family. I feel so badly that that 70 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: is what is happening for them. And then to be 71 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: on a family vacation getting away from this crazy country 72 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: right now, you know, to be trying to be free 73 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: and then to end up with a different kind of 74 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: freedom that traumatizes your loved ones is just a lot. 75 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: I will say. What's been interesting to me are the 76 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: number of Black men who I know in their late 77 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: forties early fifties who are like, oh my God, like 78 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: there's something about his death and his passing that makes 79 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: the unknown of life really come to terms for them 80 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. So I empathize with our 81 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: dear brothers, but also for us because this is tough 82 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: and it does feel like someone we grew up with, 83 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: that whole family on air, it feels like you're up 84 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: with them, So it does feel like a part of 85 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: us is gone at a time where we need to 86 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: cling onto everything that feels really good. 87 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, Tiffany your comments about how television has been treating 88 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 7: his legacy at this time, it actually saddens me because 89 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 7: his impact is so outsized. 90 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 4: I think people really really ignore that their own at 91 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 4: their own embarrassment that white householes brown black households. But 92 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 4: of course, as you said earlier, specifically us, I mean 93 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 4: I was this was one of the first Black American 94 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 4: families that white people got introduced to by way of 95 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 4: helping to shape their update on the diversity and the 96 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 4: dimensions of black folks that were not what you see 97 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 4: in the evening reel where that plus so much more 98 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 4: that can't be captured. And I just you know you 99 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 4: mentioned it feels like a family member somebody were close to. 100 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 4: He actually had this, you know, this spirit about him 101 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 4: that made you feel like you knew him, you know, 102 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 4: everybody's friend if you will, and an enemy to none, 103 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 4: but also a very strong, unapologetic brother who allowed his 104 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 4: emotions not to lead him, but he led them, and 105 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 4: then was so open and increasingly transparent with us before 106 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 4: it was him to share what his mental state was, 107 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 4: how he was doing, what post Cosby life was like, 108 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 4: what it meant to have all syndications stripped from television 109 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 4: for a period of time and how you negotiate that space. 110 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 4: I mean, just so incredible and I'm with you. The 111 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 4: loss of a dad, a young dad, you know, a 112 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 4: husband and a father. It really made me feel this weekend, 113 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 4: and my brother sent me a text you know, along 114 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 4: these lines. It just made me really reflective of life 115 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 4: because Malcolm Jamal Warner felt like like he was of 116 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 4: our age group, and in many ways really is and 117 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 4: we saw ourselves reflected in him on TV as he 118 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 4: grew up. So rest in peace and power. Brother. 119 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 3: Yes, Angela rightfully pointed out before we came on air 120 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 3: that he didn't want to just be known as THEO, 121 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 3: which I imagine is challenging if everyone sees you and they 122 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 3: always see Theos. So he went on, of course, to 123 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 3: play a lot of other roles, and what many of 124 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 3: you may know is he was quite the accomplished spoken 125 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 3: word artist, even a Grammy winner behind it. So we 126 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 3: want to close out this segment with a few spoken 127 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 3: words from Malcolm Jamal Warner, rest in power. 128 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 5: Before you get about here, would you mind doing a poem? 129 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 6: This piece is a Sante sana about a gun and comrade. 130 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 6: But you're still in that freedom shit word, Well you 131 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 6: know what I mean this poetry, we still be on 132 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 6: that weedam shit, that birthing inspirational couplets and breedom, shit 133 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 6: that I spit cats should heat them, Shit that words 134 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 6: can't break my bones, but if you cut me homes, 135 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 6: I bleed them.

Can we 138 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,239 Speaker 6: afford to be dumb for free? See? That's the question 139 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 6: I'm asking as I beg for an ounce of truth 140 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 6: amongst the aloof surrounding me. We descendants of stolen legacies, 141 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 6: children of ancestors who cannot be broken, birthers, and bearers 142 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 6: of a culture that has been repeatedly robbed and ransacked 143 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 6: to feed the spiritually famine like a black woman's bosom. 144 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 6: We who become a pre existing condition simply because we 145 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 6: pre exist. We who realize we are worthy. We are 146 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 6: the guardians. We are the gardeners. We are the soil. 147 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 6: We are the toil. We are the protectors of our 148 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 6: sieves who need to be protected, who need to see 149 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 6: true love and black excellence redirected, not through fame and fortune, 150 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 6: but redirected through character. Indeed, and indeed, it is those 151 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 6: who stand on the front line fighting for the minds 152 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 6: of our young, black and gifted. It is you who 153 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 6: are in inspiration to me, because you are the revolution 154 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 6: we do not see on TV. A Sante Sana. 155 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 5: There's the only difference between crack cocaine and cocaine is 156 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 5: studying bribricarbonate and water and heat. Literally that's it. 157 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 8: And those things are pretty much free. If you go 158 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 8: to like a science store. 159 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 5: This is free. You can go to your neighborhood convenience 160 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 5: store and just get anyway. I don't want to tell 161 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 5: people how to make how to make crack cocaine, but 162 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 5: it literally is. And many star cocaine and baking soda. 163 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 8: How different is the experience. 164 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 5: It's vastly, vastly different, And like, for real, I feel 165 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 5: really reluctant to kind of have some EU fork discussion. 166 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 5: I know you're not asking me to do that, but 167 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 5: have some U fork discussion about crack cocaine. 168 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 8: I think this might be kind of the opposite here. 169 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 5: Okay, no, it's the exact opposite. I'm saying. I don't 170 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,599 Speaker 5: want to have the experience of some you for a 171 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 5: Greek call. That's how powerful crack cocaine is. My point 172 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 5: about it that your point about it, which I think 173 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 5: is true, is that there's a thing about crack that 174 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 5: is really insidious. And what it is is that anytime, 175 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 5: you know, I think one of the reasons that they 176 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 5: believe that smoking cigarettes is so addictive is because it 177 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 5: combines three really important things. It's habit for me. There 178 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 5: is an oral fixation, and there is a ritual combined 179 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 5: with it. You have your cigarette in the morning, you 180 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 5: have a cigarette when you get out of the car, 181 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 5: you have your cigarette with your coffee. Crack is that 182 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 5: on steroids. This is like a PSA if you want 183 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 5: to completely utterly up your life. You know, I don't 184 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 5: think that anything is necessarily oh you do it once. 185 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 8: You addict that. 186 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 5: But there's about the closest thing that the statement could 187 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 5: be true would be with crack cocaine. 188 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 1: In this segment, he's going through this journey. A lot 189 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: of people are like, oh, this is he's trying to 190 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: recruit people in the crack cocaine, and I don't think 191 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: that's true at all. What I think is one Hunter 192 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: Biden is so damn brilliant number one. Number two like 193 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: hearing him say like, I'm not trying to have a 194 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: euphoric like conversation about it because of what yeah, where 195 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: it We'll send him? I think is so responsible. And 196 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: then three, I really appreciated what he said at the 197 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: end about it's a PSA and I'm just saying this 198 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: because hopefully we end up cutting it, you know, forty 199 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 1: five seconds in. I think that it's smart to just say, 200 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: you know, this is this is what it was. This 201 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: is the single difference. And I got to tell y'all 202 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: when I was watching this, my immediate thought was, I 203 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: wonder if he was already experiencing with or having the 204 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: experiences with crack when the Crime Bill came out. And 205 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: the reason why I thought that is because he talks 206 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: to Jamie, which I know we're also going to play 207 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: some podcasts or podcast clip from about his father being 208 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: really really strict, Like people think that his dad was like, 209 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 1: you know, anything goes because of the trauma they experience, 210 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: but he says, you know, it was quite the opposite. 211 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: So I was wondering if his dad was trying to 212 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: punish the system and punish him through the crime bill 213 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: doesn't justify what after, don't justify what happened. But I 214 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: was fascinated by it because of the very simple a 215 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: distinction that many of us have heard of, studied know 216 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: about between crack and cocaine. But the way he explained it, 217 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: it immediately sent me to I wonder if that's what 218 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: happened with the Crime Bill. 219 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 3: Interesting, a lot of people had that same I don't 220 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 3: think it's even exclusive to Joe Biden, who was in 221 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 3: the Senate at the time. I think a lot of people, 222 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 3: including people in the black community. To your point, Angela, 223 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 3: felt enraged at what was happening in our communities, and sadly, 224 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 3: we looked to the system that was destroying us to 225 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 3: self correct. When the system was functioning as it was intended, 226 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 3: the biggest drug dealer in the marketplace was the United 227 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 3: States government, So just when it it was it was 228 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 3: intended for us. But then when it got to white kids, 229 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 3: that's when it was a problem. But I just like 230 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 3: to remind people because everyone's so mad about the Crime Bill, 231 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 3: and it's like, listen, those of us who are old enough, 232 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 3: remember black folks were right out there on that crime bill. 233 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 3: Black mamas and Grandmama's were right there, so we have 234 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 3: to you kind of reconcile with that decades later, you know, 235 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 3: And it was desperation because I feel I genuinely he's 236 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 3: talking about it. I feel bad for him because when 237 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 3: you consider how crack cocaine came to be, it's like, 238 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 3: you're coming out of the seventies and cocaine was like 239 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 3: this party drug and people were still smoking weed. And 240 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 3: in the eighties people are like, oh, I got something 241 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 3: like we like, smoke this and see if you like it. 242 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 3: So you had regular everyday people smoke something once and 243 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 3: it hooked them. They got their claws in them and 244 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 3: they couldn't function without it, and that created a generation 245 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 3: of loss and killing and robbery. So I have an 246 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 3: incredible amount of empathy for him, and I wonder how 247 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 3: it would have been had we met the crack cocaine 248 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 3: addiction with the same empathy we did the opioid crisis 249 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 3: with the same targeting of the dealers. You know, the 250 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 3: Sackware family is persona non grata anywhere, Yet the US 251 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 3: government continues it's ill practices, the CIA continues to function. 252 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 3: The CIA never really because they were selling drugs to 253 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 3: support their political ambitions in Central America. They still do 254 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 3: the same shit all the time because it disproportionately impacted us. 255 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 3: So I just I feel bad. I don't want people 256 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 3: to make fun of Hunter Biden in this interview. You 257 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 3: know how we did with Whitney and Crack and Whack 258 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 3: and all that stuff, and it's like, man, these people 259 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 3: really suffer, suffer from this. So I have an incredible 260 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 3: amount of empathy for him and Joe Biden because I 261 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 3: even hearing that, I imagine Joe Biden even listening to that. 262 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 3: It has to hurt him. After losing Bo, after losing 263 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 3: his wife and sons. He's just seen a lot of 264 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 3: tragedy and a lot of Black people confronted a lot 265 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 3: of tragedy because of the drug and also because of 266 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 3: a crime bill that we are still confronting. We are 267 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 3: still dealing with the fallout from the crime Bill and 268 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 3: the remnants of it are resurfacing. So what I actually 269 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 3: would be okay hearing the clip in its entirety, But. 270 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, well before we do that, I just I wanted 271 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: to flag to Tip's point. Yes, Joe Biden was in 272 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: the Senate when the crime bill was passed. He also 273 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: authored it. So that was my point, and I would 274 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: say this too, that yes, there were a ton of 275 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: black families, but we didn't hear about the white ones. 276 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: We didn't hear. When you look turned on news at 277 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: nighttime during this era, all you saw were black people 278 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: and crackheads. A crackhead image is the image of someone 279 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: black you never saw. And that's why I'm saying, like 280 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: to me, that is the phenomenon here, part. 281 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 4: Of the government media consperience, exactly. That's exactly as to 282 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 4: brand it a certain way. And poor people in Appalachia 283 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 4: and all the states that that that those great mountains 284 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 4: touch are suffering in the shadows. I mean hunger, pains, addiction, obviously, death, suicide, 285 00:16:53,760 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 4: you know, people at a stop light and overdosing. I mean, 286 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,479 Speaker 4: the American carnage on American streets during that period of 287 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 4: time may have been whitewashed in those moments, but if 288 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 4: you paid at all any attention to local news at night, 289 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 4: you saw the sirens, and you saw some of the 290 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 4: most horrific images that you know, my mind still won't forget, 291 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 4: where people literally appear comatose and almost under some spell walking, 292 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 4: you know, out loud, but vacant, you know in their person. 293 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 4: I mean it was. It was a horrible time in 294 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 4: this country treated the victims of that addiction crisis horribly. 295 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,479 Speaker 4: And again I think it goes to show and we 296 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 4: already know this that you know, certain faces and newer 297 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 4: certain reactions. You know, those poor kids from Somalia that 298 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 4: were on our television screens as kids, you know, could 299 00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 4: hardly compare to the one orphan white child. You know, uh, 300 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 4: set set beside them doing the commercial break. We had empathy, 301 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 4: We had care that that person, that that white baby 302 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 4: was human. And you know those black babies looking emaciated, 303 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 4: all they want is some food, rice, right water, and 304 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,719 Speaker 4: you know that's what those people deserve. 305 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, we hopped right into the crack cocaine conversation, 306 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: but we didn't get into all things political and the truth, 307 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: the rest of the truth that Hunter Biden has to share. 308 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: We'll do that right after this break. So the other 309 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: thing I want to just get into, So again for 310 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: those of you who don't know, we jumped right into 311 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 1: the crack. We didn't say that that was Hunter Biden. 312 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 1: We did, We really did. 313 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 3: We jumped right into right. 314 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, we jumped right into the crack, but we didn't 315 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 1: say that. That's Hunter Biden, the son of Joe Biden, 316 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: and he's talking about his experience with crack cocaine. But 317 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: he also talked a lot talk about a lot more 318 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: in this interview. One clip in particular has to do 319 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 1: with the candidate, the Democratic Party's candidate from this past November, 320 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. I want to roll that clip. 321 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 5: Only person that he would ever, ever ever endorse off 322 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 5: out of the gate because he chose her as his 323 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 5: vice president. There's no choice in that. And by the way, 324 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 5: I love Kamala Harris. I think that she would have 325 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 5: made an incredible president. I know that she was an 326 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 5: incredibly loyal vice president and she did everything that she 327 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 5: could to support my dad everything and to support me 328 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 5: and my family personally. I mean, I truly love her 329 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 5: like family, and I think that she would have made 330 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 5: an incredible president. And I think she r in an 331 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 5: incredible campaign. You know who did not want Kamala Harris 332 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 5: to be president and did not want her to be 333 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 5: the nominee. Nancy Pelosi didn't want her to be None 334 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 5: of Nancy Pelosi's people wanted he to. They wanted an 335 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 5: open convention, they wanted a floor fight, they wanted a 336 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 5: I don't know what the hell they wanted, but they 337 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 5: wanted to be the ones to anoint whoever they were 338 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 5: going to annoint to become the next president of the 339 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 5: United States. 340 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 8: Who do you think that would have been. 341 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 4: I don't know. 342 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 5: I really don't know. I don't have any idea. All 343 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 5: I know is that they definitely did not want Kamala 344 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 5: Harris and again, which undermined her, which undermined the campaign. 345 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,959 Speaker 5: You know, I mean I look at these people and 346 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 5: talk about, like, well, where were they? We had one 347 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 5: hundred days, she got a hundred. She literally was handed 348 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 5: one hundred million dollar check. She ran her ass off. 349 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 5: She had an incredible organization, incredible grassroots organization. David Pluff 350 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 5: took over the campaign. 351 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 8: You know what did they do? 352 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 4: Well? 353 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 1: I didn't realize that was in the same clip as 354 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: the Nancy Pelosi clip. But yes, I actually another clip 355 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: back to back so we could just deal with all 356 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 1: this at once. But let's go ahead and read the 357 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: clip from Jamie Harrison's new show, New Podcast, where he 358 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,679 Speaker 1: also interviews Hunter Biden, and he talks about this nomination process. 359 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 4: Because there were some people who wanted Joe Biden to 360 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 4: step down, but they didn't want Kamla Harris either. 361 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, we know who they are. 362 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 6: They did not want Kamala Harris as well. 363 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 5: They were already playing them, I mean. 364 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 6: At our table. 365 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:23,479 Speaker 5: But my but you're right, okay, And uh look, Jamie, 366 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 5: you you you can attest to this. If not anything, 367 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 5: Joe Biden is. 368 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 6: Loyal, Yes, is loyal. He's loyal. 369 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 5: So I don't ever want to say anything on that. 370 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 5: It's like I'm speaking on his behalf because my dad 371 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 5: wouldn't say an ill word regardless of how wrong he was. 372 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 5: And you know it, but it doesn't mean his son 373 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 5: can't feel it sometimes, And like I said, I'd say 374 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 5: it over and over. I say it just one more 375 00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 5: time to make certain that clear. I love of President Obama. 376 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 5: I love what he achieved for this country. I respect 377 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 5: and honor what the people that worked for him were 378 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 5: able to achieve in the eight years that he was president. 379 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 5: And I feel the same about Speaker Pelosi and the 380 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 5: people that have tirelessly worked on her behalf and her 381 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 5: staff and her family to allow her to achieve the 382 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 5: things that she's achieved on behalf of millions and millions 383 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 5: of Americans. Okay, I would only ask this is that 384 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 5: they showed the same respect to my dad. 385 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: So I thought we should get into that because one 386 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: you already saw him name names on the other clip, 387 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: and there's something I don't know how y'all feel watching this, 388 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 1: but for me one again, I want to applaud his intelligence, 389 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: his candor. He's like, I'm gonna try. You can see 390 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: him trying to kind of do right by Jamie at 391 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: interview because he's like, yeah, I. 392 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 4: Know, he was only considerate of Jamie there had he 393 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 4: been you know, left his own devices. Well, I mean 394 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 4: I think he said more in that initial interview, which 395 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 4: is how we could tell his hedging, you know, was 396 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 4: an effect, you know, probably towards the protection of Jamie 397 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 4: more than anything, because he seems extremely clear about what 398 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 4: went down. Yeah, even though he was going through his 399 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 4: row on his own you know, personal trial, a prosecution 400 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 4: that should never have been bought, by the way, and 401 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 4: my humble opinion, never before you statute in the history 402 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 4: of the statute against Hunter Biden. But anyway, I applaud 403 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 4: the brother for being so clear headed. I just you know, 404 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 4: being in recovery facing his demons, you know, head on, 405 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 4: I kept thinking to myself, what was he thinking with 406 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,199 Speaker 4: that whole drug ran, Why was he telling? Why was 407 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 4: he giving? And I'm actually really curious because his intention 408 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 4: certainly was not to recruit more users, but he was 409 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 4: processing something through his mind that I think is probably 410 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 4: pretty fascinating if we knew the backstory to it. But 411 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 4: you know, I wish him well and I appreciate y'all. 412 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 4: Remember we had some heat for going down this road 413 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 4: about Obama's tone, and we didn't really dig much into 414 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 4: to Nancy Pelosi, but I had shared in one of 415 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 4: our earlier episodes, you know, this really long form piece 416 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 4: that I saw written that you know, I attributed at 417 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 4: the time to basically, you know, the Obama folks Obama people, 418 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 4: which doesn't mean he directed them, but you know, there's 419 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 4: loyalty there. I think Hunter Biden was dead on, and 420 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 4: I hope that both the individuals he was speaking to 421 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 4: heard him and will take note because the disrespect that 422 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 4: they have shown I think Joe Biden is pretty shameful 423 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 4: and is a good reason why a lot of Democrats 424 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 4: don't think other Democrats are loyal last people to have 425 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 4: our back. 426 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,919 Speaker 1: I think the thing that I would flag for you, 427 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: is he named Barack Obama, he named Nancy Pelosi, he 428 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: named Nancy Pelosi. And the other piece, the other thing 429 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: that you'll see if you guys go back and watch 430 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 1: the interview with Jamie, he blasts pod Save America at 431 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,439 Speaker 1: least three times. And I think what's fascinating about that 432 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: to me is he really saw that as people who 433 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: he talks about where they live and how out of 434 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: touch they are, and Beverly Hills or Bellair Holmes and 435 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: how that same like the donor class basically decided the election, 436 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: and he feels like his dad was trying to save 437 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: the party over himself. That's his perception. But I think 438 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 1: what is again contrashing to me right now is nobody 439 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: is willing to call a thing a thing like even 440 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 1: in this upcoming autopsy for the Democratic Party, put Hedge 441 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: Biden's dance on air, you know, so that there can 442 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: be an honest assessment about what is now. Whether or 443 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: not I agree with him about his dad's the state 444 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: in the election, I don't, right, But I think that 445 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: the point is you can have a debate in earnest 446 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: and a discussion in earnest with someone who's willing to 447 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: be intellectually honest about what is. So I just wanted 448 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: That's what I wanted to bring forth to y'all. Is 449 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 1: that the energy that the Democratic Party needs to lean 450 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: into right now because he is irreverent and he is clear, 451 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: and he is telling the truth about what is. At 452 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: this point, he's like, what in the hell do I 453 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: have to lose? 454 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 4: That's right. 455 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 3: I mean I have to say I just have lost 456 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 3: the ability to give a shit about the Democratic Party. 457 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 3: And that's not to say because I think people misunderstand 458 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 3: that when we talk have the's discussions, and they think 459 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 3: that me and Angela catches straights for this, even though 460 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 3: sometimes I'm the person who said it, and people just 461 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 3: you know, I can't believe Angela said that, and I'm like, 462 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 3: that was me. But I'm not saying this means we 463 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 3: lay down and die. I'm not saying we won't do 464 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 3: everything we can and to show up and vote during 465 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 3: the terms. I'm not saying that we will not be 466 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 3: part of their resistance. I'm saying the party as a structure, 467 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 3: like I think what we're talking about is such minutia, 468 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 3: Like most people don't even know about the Hunter Biden interview. 469 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 3: You know, that's such a Beltway conversation. But people are 470 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 3: not in every group chat I'm in. People aren't like, 471 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 3: oh my god, let's talk about Hunter Biden. I think 472 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 3: people are just looking for relief and so the whole. 473 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 3: But the I don't think everyone always understands the power 474 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 3: that the structure created, the power that the Democratic Party 475 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:41,640 Speaker 3: itself has. So my thought is like, disrupt the infrastructure 476 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 3: of the political system. And I was warned that I 477 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 3: would feel this way, because I will tell you I 478 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 3: am deep into Asada right now, a recommendation that Angela 479 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 3: made and I'm deep into it, and I am it's 480 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 3: just making me more enraged. So I don't look at 481 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 3: this like, yeah, this autopsy the Democratic Party. I gotta 482 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 3: tell you, I feel like it's as many white supremacists 483 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 3: as we all know in the Democratic Party. I get 484 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 3: so grossly offended every time I hear one of them 485 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 3: come out who's supposed to be an ally and say 486 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 3: something completely tone deaf, like you look at Target, for example, 487 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 3: like all the black people were protesting Target, how many 488 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 3: white women did y'all see protesting tart and posting about it? 489 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: I saw them with a target bag and I was 490 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 1: ready to fight her. I feel ashamed to say it, 491 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: but I was like, what's. 492 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 3: What I'm saying? 493 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 1: What you wait? 494 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,239 Speaker 3: We stand alone? We stand alone. And so when you 495 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 3: look at like a majority of elected members in Congress 496 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 3: are white people and they are still This is why 497 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 3: the Epstein thing gets on my nerves because it's like 498 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 3: you all keep thinking that, oh, this is our opportunity 499 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 3: to get them back, and it's so offensive because I'm like, 500 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 3: why the fuck are y'all always running after maga voters, Like, 501 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 3: tell me how you're gonna appeal to me, tell me 502 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 3: how you're addressing my problem. But you're so excited that 503 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 3: you'll get to break up the mega colts and you 504 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 3: spending your energy playing the guitar running around on every 505 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 3: TV show. But the shit that's impacting us the hardest. 506 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 3: I don't where are the social media stunts for that? Like, 507 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 3: and not that I want to see that either, but like, 508 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 3: where is the plan of action for that? So I 509 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 3: don't know. I'm happy to hear from hunter Byden just 510 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 3: because he's a personality, you know, and I think that 511 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 3: he has insight that a lot of people don't have. 512 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 3: I just don't know. Okay, so we know that they 513 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 3: didn't want Kamala Harris as the nominee. I just don't 514 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 3: want to get to us like what it serves us. 515 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 3: I'm telling you, I'm on something. I probably should have 516 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 3: waited to read this book, but I'm on something altogether. 517 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 3: When you start hearing about like the details of what 518 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 3: this government does to us. And I know we're gonna 519 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 3: talk about Breonna Taylor. I was gonna wait to even 520 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 3: mention is out of until we got to Breonna Taylor. 521 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 3: But I just I don't know, y'all. I don't know 522 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 3: how y'all like you all are talking about the politics 523 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 3: of it, I'm curious how do you feel hearing that? 524 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 3: Like how do you feel in this moment of knowing 525 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 3: that this autopsy's even taken place? Like does it move 526 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 3: you anyway? 527 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: No? But but I do think it's important for us 528 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: to understand, like I'm not talking about this like, oh, 529 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: this could be good for the party. 530 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 2: Me. 531 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: I'm talking about for the party it like there has 532 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: to be something that they do that is markedly different 533 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: than what they're doing right now. 534 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 4: And I do think copycat h they're basically paying copycat. 535 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 4: I mean, it's like, where did the Trump people scattered to? 536 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 4: Let's go to that corner. 537 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 3: That's what I want to say. You're a fan, but 538 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 3: you're saying they have to do you think they're going 539 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 3: to No, I don't know, but all. 540 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: I can say is in where I like, I grew 541 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,239 Speaker 1: up in politics professionally, so what I know is to 542 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: tell you, like, oh, this will work or this won't work. 543 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: And what I also know right now is everything that 544 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: I would have typically guided people to do won't work 545 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: in this moment because politics as usual is gone. It 546 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: is politics is as unusual af right. So to me, 547 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, well if we and by this 548 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: we meet now, I mean, like as Vince would say, 549 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: those who are who would represent the politics of goodwill 550 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: are to say and do anything right now, It means 551 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: there's a broad coalition of people that have to get 552 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: to get together to fight against evil if we can 553 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: even agree on what evil is. There are reformers. There 554 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: are people who are you know, institutionalists I would put 555 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: Andrew there, you know, who believe in the institution and 556 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: want to uphold it and fix it. The reformers who 557 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: are somewhere a little bit to the left of that 558 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: socialists and then the anti Trumpers. All of those folks 559 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: have to come together to preserve or to rebuild whatever 560 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: is going to be that whatever happens next. Now, nobody 561 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: could do anything. We could just sit here and watch 562 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 1: it all burn, But we are going to be on 563 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: fire first. We're already on fe So I don't feel. 564 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 4: So no, no, no, please finish your point. You don't feel 565 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 4: I don't feel. 566 00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: I don't feel like I want to watch it burn. 567 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: I feel like I got this Harriet Tubman chain on 568 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: my neck for a reason, like I'll set it on fire, 569 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: but I'm not about to watch it burning and catch 570 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: my people on fire. So I am other school that thought. 571 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: If there are some people who are willing among us 572 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: to tell the truth, to say that they want to 573 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,479 Speaker 1: see something happen differently, I'm with them. I'm with them 574 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: one hundred percent. If they're not there, I'm not just like, oh, 575 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: there's nothing we can do. I don't believe that. I 576 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: believe there's a lot we can do, and I believe 577 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to set it on fire, but I don't 578 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: know what we can do that can stop. Like I 579 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: keep going back to this, like all these things that 580 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: are happening. It feels like it's a lot of shuffling 581 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: papers and energy. But I'm like, what has happened that 582 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: we're stopping something that this because of this thing? 583 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 3: This stopped it could and andrew The last time I 584 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 3: said this, you gave a few examples, and it's like, oh, 585 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 3: you know, that's true. That's a really good point, because 586 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 3: I also don't want to discourage people from doing what 587 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 3: they you know, what they feel like they should be doing. 588 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 3: But I am looking like, damn, y'all, I think we're 589 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 3: in for a long night. I think like I see 590 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 3: what's coming, and I think we are in for. 591 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: A maybe pre or. 592 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 3: Post reconstruction existence in this country. And even just I'm 593 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 3: not going to talk about this every week, I swear 594 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 3: I won't, But even reading Asada, when you hear about 595 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 3: what this woman went through, I'm in shame on me 596 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 3: for just now reading it all these decades later. But 597 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 3: when you read about what this woman went through, it 598 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,959 Speaker 3: wasn't that long ago. You know, Like how the government 599 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 3: works against us when you look at how the government 600 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 3: is literally targeting black women right now, targeting our livelihood, 601 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 3: target our income, and that's not to leave out black men, 602 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 3: black men. I love y'all. People always telling me why 603 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 3: you're so hard on black men. I'm not hard on 604 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 3: black men. I love y'all too. I'm just looking at 605 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 3: who is getting hammered the worst right now, and it's 606 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 3: black women, And I just feel like, how can we 607 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 3: stop this? Three hundred thousand black women out of work? 608 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 3: What was the policy that we could have done to 609 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 3: stop that? Five hundred women haven't returned to the workforce 610 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 3: since uh COVID the end of Trump's first administration. What 611 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 3: could we have done? What might we have done to 612 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 3: stop that? The best thing you said to me is, 613 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 3: I'm not going to watch it burn. I'll set it 614 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 3: on fire, but I'm not gonna watch it burn. I'm 615 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 3: kind of right there, like I'm like, yeah, we gotta 616 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 3: might set some things on fire. I don't know. I'm 617 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,439 Speaker 3: still working it out in real time. 618 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 1: So that's why we're just so we're clear. We're not 619 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 1: talking about the violent destruction in a riot, like we 620 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: have to be clear about that. We're just talking about 621 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 1: the things that have caused us harm, that has have 622 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: done you know, done us poorly. We're going to get 623 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: rid of those things we're going to shine a light 624 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 1: on being an allegory. Yes, we have to say that 625 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 1: because we apparently it's some slow people among us. 626 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:48,839 Speaker 3: Andrew, Yeah, and the stupid the f A. I'm trying 627 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,799 Speaker 3: to be smart, King Spell at the f AE. U 628 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 3: X knew the station loves the clip things. 629 00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: Not the fakes, but the fakes work too. 630 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 3: It can X news station. 631 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 1: They love to clip our thank you, thank you, y'all. 632 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 1: Next time, just make sure you say following them at 633 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 1: Native Lampid. Maybe we'll convert some of your viewers. Andrew, 634 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: you are gonna say some fifteen minutes ago. 635 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 4: I you know, so, I just had a lot of 636 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 4: thoughts running through my mind. But I will say when 637 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 4: we began talking about hunter By, I wasn't actually viewing 638 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 4: him through the political lens, but I do see the 639 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 4: opportunity moment for him to be able to have some 640 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 4: impact on I think a party that whose members by 641 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 4: and large have good intention. However, big picture are completely 642 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 4: void of a plan, and the plan worries me less 643 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 4: than where the passion is. And I just feel like 644 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 4: as institutional list and as protectors of the regime as 645 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 4: it exists today, Democrats have become quite uninspiring and frankly boring, 646 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,879 Speaker 4: very very default. You know, it's like, if you don't 647 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 4: do anything, these things are going to keep happy. You know. 648 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 4: It's like tomorrow will come and you do nothing in 649 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 4: the day after that, there will be the day after tomorrow. 650 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:25,839 Speaker 4: Nobody's inspired by that assembly line. Nobody is inspired by 651 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 4: the mathematics that is, basically, become black people. You're transaction 652 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 4: because you can rely on a group of black folks 653 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:39,360 Speaker 4: and black women and black men, but black people for 654 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:44,319 Speaker 4: a certain turnout by percent in the polls. But you 655 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 4: get frustrated when their voices, voices begin to be heard, 656 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 4: when we start to raise our voice, when we start 657 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:55,360 Speaker 4: to protest against a party agenda, a platform that doesn't 658 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 4: reflect our values where we stand now. When that happens, 659 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 4: you're a dit action. You're taking from the opportunity moment here. 660 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 4: Why don't you just go somewhere. We'll deal with that 661 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,360 Speaker 4: another day. We'll have our chance to sit around and 662 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 4: pow wow about that. And that day never comes in. 663 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 4: It never ever becomes a part of the bloodstream of 664 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 4: the organization, the Democratic Party. It is always an appendage. 665 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,480 Speaker 4: Black people are always just outside the body women are 666 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 4: treated just outside the body until you want a debate 667 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 4: about their bodies and then their central focus. But do 668 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:32,280 Speaker 4: we really mean it so worse than not having a plan, 669 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,959 Speaker 4: And maybe don't start sending no emails or another Excel 670 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 4: spreadsheets because that's the problem. Y'all are addicted to that stuff, 671 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 4: and what is absent from me is where's the heart, 672 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 4: where's the nerve? Where is the stuff that's keeping you 673 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:46,880 Speaker 4: up at night? Because if it truly is keeping you 674 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,759 Speaker 4: up at night, your comportment could not be contained in 675 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 4: this moment, right, So their rhetoric doesn't match their behavior, 676 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,320 Speaker 4: and it makes it impossible to believe in them because 677 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 4: you doubt whether they believe in themselves. Nobody wants to 678 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 4: follow that, So I you know, I share your frustration, Tiff. 679 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 4: I'm at the end of the day going to be 680 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 4: the pragmatisms basically say, so long as these are the 681 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 4: people who are negotiating how we exist in this space, 682 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 4: we need to have a weight on that thing. And 683 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 4: that doesn't mean we don't start filling some other buckets too, 684 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,760 Speaker 4: but it absolutely means we do not unilaterally disarmed. 685 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, can I say something I thought was really 686 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 3: interesting last week, you and Angela disagreed about a path forward, 687 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 3: and I found myself conflicted because I'm like, I actually think, Andrew, 688 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,319 Speaker 3: you have a point, But damn, Angela, I actually see 689 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,400 Speaker 3: what you're saying. And I you know, I read the 690 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,799 Speaker 3: comments and I thought the comments would be all one 691 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,799 Speaker 3: way or another. I didn't know which way, but I'm like, 692 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 3: I think generally on this one, and I was I'll 693 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 3: take that back. I thought more people were going to 694 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 3: agree with Angela. I thought people like overwhelming were going 695 00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 3: to agree with Angela. And what I saw was it 696 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 3: was really like people were really like, no, Andrew has 697 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,359 Speaker 3: a point, like you make them do every possible thing, 698 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,400 Speaker 3: and then other people were like, yes, Andrew is an 699 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 3: institutional we need to like fight, fight, fight, and fire. 700 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 3: And it was really interesting to me to see because 701 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 3: really I was just looking for my name and it 702 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:19,879 Speaker 3: wasn't even there. 703 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 4: It was all. 704 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,279 Speaker 3: But people had a lot of thoughts and feelings about it, 705 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 3: and I just thought, Wow, what an interesting snapshot. Obviously 706 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 3: it's not an official poll, it's not a scientific pole, 707 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 3: but what an interesting snapshot of where we are in 708 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:41,799 Speaker 3: this moment, that this nuanced argument that you guys were 709 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,720 Speaker 3: having these nuanced points that you were making. People felt 710 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 3: so strongly. 711 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 4: You feel like when we were in it. 712 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,319 Speaker 1: But well, you know, but you know what though, it's 713 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,839 Speaker 1: it is the argument and the discussion that people are 714 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,800 Speaker 1: having everywhere. They're having it in party out, a party 715 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,920 Speaker 1: on the heel, in the Congression offices, and caucus meetings 716 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,440 Speaker 1: on their TV. Why arguing with the TV? It is? 717 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,640 Speaker 1: It is where we are because people don't know what 718 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,400 Speaker 1: to do because again, every formula that you would typically 719 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,239 Speaker 1: go to is not working in this moment. I'm gonna 720 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,959 Speaker 1: tell you another thing that happened last week we didn't 721 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 1: talk about because it was the same day of our show. 722 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: I was in New York. I did breakfast club and 723 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 1: Lenard asked me about Barack Obama and his comments at 724 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 1: this closed door fundraiser. I'm bringing up a point you're 725 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: gonna tie right back to Hunter. In this closed door meeting, 726 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 1: Barack Obama said that the Democrats are behaving like cowards, right, 727 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,320 Speaker 1: and then the question was what do I think about 728 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,839 Speaker 1: what he's saying for me? And I still feel this way. 729 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 1: People dragged me for filth. People who are my friends 730 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,319 Speaker 1: went into the comments because they saw the breakfast club 731 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,920 Speaker 1: header didn't hear what I said. Just heard that I 732 00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,719 Speaker 1: said Barack Obama needs to do more or something, which 733 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 1: is not what I said. I made them take that 734 00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:01,280 Speaker 1: down and like correct it because I was like this, 735 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 1: this isn't accurate and it's causing more reaping more have it. 736 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,480 Speaker 1: It didn't even matter because people were still mad that 737 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,839 Speaker 1: you could say, don't you I would say nothing bad 738 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 1: about Barack Obama. Doesn't even have to be bad. It's 739 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:17,239 Speaker 1: just a criticism to me of what is so for 740 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:21,880 Speaker 1: my purview, I'm going somewhere for my purview, I promise 741 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:27,240 Speaker 1: you when you when we go to the Hunter Biden piece. 742 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,879 Speaker 1: And the fact that Barack Obama was in the room 743 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 1: having conversations about who should be the nominee and Kamala 744 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 1: Harris was not on his list, I'm aware of that. 745 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,440 Speaker 1: It's the fact that Barack Obama does have these meetings 746 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:45,160 Speaker 1: with Washington based journalists ensuring that people are speaking a 747 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,319 Speaker 1: certain language and about policy in a certain way. It 748 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 1: is the fact that Donald Trump just this week posts 749 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 1: a video of an AI video of Barack Obama being 750 00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,320 Speaker 1: arrested in the Oval. 751 00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:57,879 Speaker 8: Right. 752 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 1: So when I say that I expect more of them 753 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:04,640 Speaker 1: in this moment that this Nobel Peace Prize winner, where 754 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,880 Speaker 1: we would have had the same type of expectations of 755 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,080 Speaker 1: Nelson Mandela in South Africa, I should not be dragged 756 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,520 Speaker 1: for saying that I expect for you to call fascism fascism, right. 757 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,880 Speaker 1: So for me, it's just interesting that in this moment 758 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,239 Speaker 1: where we know the again, we know of things that 759 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 1: people don't know. But it's like if you talk about 760 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 1: the man who's on my church fan, if you talk 761 00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 1: about the man sleeves up and goes to the rally 762 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:33,279 Speaker 1: smooth saying amazing grace at you know, at at Mother 763 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:38,160 Speaker 1: Emmanuel after this horrible massacre, I can't hold space for 764 00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 1: the fact that he does some things well and something's 765 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,759 Speaker 1: need correction. And that's frustrating to me. 766 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 3: You can't say I'm going somewhere. We're like, no, we wherever? 767 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,279 Speaker 3: You going on the train with im? 768 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 1: Just like I'll take a minute to get there. That's all. 769 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 3: Well, I didn't see the clip and so I didn't 770 00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,960 Speaker 3: see the comments. But I think there is some protection 771 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:07,000 Speaker 3: of Obama, you know, And I think people look for 772 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,200 Speaker 3: clickbaits and they enjoy the anonymity of social media to 773 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 3: make these comments. 774 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:12,040 Speaker 5: Uh. 775 00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:16,240 Speaker 3: Sometimes, And I think because I get that on this show, 776 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 3: all of us probably get that on this show, where 777 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,640 Speaker 3: it's like, why are you criticizing democrats like MAGA is 778 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 3: the only space that we should be criticizing right now. 779 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,840 Speaker 3: And I understand that perspective too. So I'm not faulting 780 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:28,879 Speaker 3: anybody for any of these. 781 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,560 Speaker 4: If we don't do it right now, Lloyd Jesus, another 782 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,600 Speaker 4: election is gonna come around and we're still gonna be 783 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:35,440 Speaker 4: in La la land. 784 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:36,880 Speaker 3: This is, this is my point. 785 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,440 Speaker 4: In the honest conversations. Now, it's too late in an 786 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 4: election cycle. 787 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:46,919 Speaker 3: Precisely Andrew precisely like now, and it is not only 788 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:51,720 Speaker 3: our right but responsibility to critique our leaders. 789 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:52,320 Speaker 1: I agree. 790 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:57,719 Speaker 3: And you know Obama Black folks overwhelmingly showed up for Obama. 791 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:02,839 Speaker 3: Black people put this man in office. And I understand 792 00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 3: the feeling that there is a debt ode and I 793 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,520 Speaker 3: think your frustration with Obama, Angela is the frustration that 794 00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 3: many of us have with just us institutions across the board. 795 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,359 Speaker 3: It's not just Obama. I mean, you could take that 796 00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:20,520 Speaker 3: and go across democratic leadership from our friends and otherwise. 797 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,359 Speaker 3: So I my only thing is let's have that heat 798 00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,640 Speaker 3: for everybody, you know, I mean they were asking you 799 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,239 Speaker 3: a specific question, but no, we ought to have that 800 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,200 Speaker 3: heat for everybody if you can't stand up. First of all, 801 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,320 Speaker 3: anytime we talk about in the news media, on Capitol 802 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:38,240 Speaker 3: Hill wherever, anytime we talk about Steven Miller, who designed 803 00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:42,280 Speaker 3: this whole ice plan, it should be introduced that Steven Miller, 804 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,840 Speaker 3: the white nationalist who was behind and then go wherever 805 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:47,800 Speaker 3: you want to go. But we should not be talking 806 00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,520 Speaker 3: about him as though he's not a white nationalist like 807 00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,759 Speaker 3: because it makes people uncomfortable because it's not the white language. 808 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,239 Speaker 3: We should not be talking about Milania Trump ever, and 809 00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,520 Speaker 3: not talk about the fact that she was a nude 810 00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 3: model in a birther y. We it's like it's factually 811 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,320 Speaker 3: accurate to say these things. And everyone has capitulated to 812 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:13,320 Speaker 3: a system of whiteness, a system that prioritizes white comfort, 813 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:19,799 Speaker 3: white language, everything. And respectfully to President Obama, who I 814 00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,400 Speaker 3: think we all love, you know, love and a door, 815 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,839 Speaker 3: both he and Michelle Obama. But I think respectfully to them, 816 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 3: there are a significant amount of people who are looking saying, help, 817 00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 3: you know, say something. We love your podcast, but we 818 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:40,120 Speaker 3: don't want to hear about you know, some nebulous thing, 819 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,560 Speaker 3: when people are dying, when people are being disappeared by 820 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 3: their government, when black women are joining the bread lines. 821 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:51,320 Speaker 3: So it's not it's not so much like we're shitting 822 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,719 Speaker 3: on them. We're saying, like, hey, we still need you. 823 00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 3: And I don't know if you guys remember that clip 824 00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 3: from Michelle Obama when she said that she's done with like, 825 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,040 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna endoors another candidate. I'm not going to 826 00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:05,200 Speaker 3: get out there on the campaign trail. I don't begrudge 827 00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,840 Speaker 3: that in her because what I hear is hurt.

I don't have no beef with it because 890 00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,400 Speaker 4: they were precluded from doing it before, and they're not 891 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:31,080 Speaker 4: the grifters in chief like the Trumps who are sitting 892 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:36,400 Speaker 4: at office uh stilling out loud. You know, Barack and 893 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,440 Speaker 4: Michelle the Obama's respectively, are working for that. You know, 894 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,920 Speaker 4: they work for the stuff. They earned their stuff. But 895 00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:46,839 Speaker 4: should the president again continue to be involved in the 896 00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:50,960 Speaker 4: mechanations of what ultimately we're all gonna have to confront, 897 00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,440 Speaker 4: whether that is who ought to be running in the primary, 898 00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,880 Speaker 4: who they plan to support, who are they giving legs 899 00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:58,759 Speaker 4: to behind the scenes, and then who are they trying 900 00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,400 Speaker 4: to kneecap behind the scene. If you're going to be 901 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:05,920 Speaker 4: in that level of conversation and maneuvering of our politics, 902 00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,840 Speaker 4: then my request, you know, would simply be one. I 903 00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,200 Speaker 4: want you to have as much heat for other communities 904 00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,319 Speaker 4: as you have for our own when you are when 905 00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:19,440 Speaker 4: you do a takedown my brother, and you want to 906 00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,120 Speaker 4: make a message point clear to us, you know, you 907 00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:23,759 Speaker 4: have a way of delivering it and we have a 908 00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:27,759 Speaker 4: way of receiving it and then reacting to it. But 909 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:31,640 Speaker 4: I never seem to since that same heat when it 910 00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:35,200 Speaker 4: comes to the white liberal elite. When it comes to 911 00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:41,080 Speaker 4: the liberal white donors, what they give money to and 912 00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:48,680 Speaker 4: how their qualifications are only in the field of having 913 00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,520 Speaker 4: given to these areas and never in the experience of 914 00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:56,080 Speaker 4: having been a practitioner. You think, because you give money 915 00:50:56,160 --> 00:51:00,080 Speaker 4: to a politician does not make you an analyst, It 916 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,440 Speaker 4: doesn't make you a strategist, it doesn't make you a 917 00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:07,080 Speaker 4: campaign manager. It makes you probably a good campaign contributor 918 00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:10,239 Speaker 4: and loyal supporter if you can manage that much. And 919 00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:13,680 Speaker 4: if you're organizing knocking on doors outside of that, that's great. 920 00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:17,279 Speaker 4: But we have given way too much power to this 921 00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:22,839 Speaker 4: very liberal elite on the Democratic side, and nobody calls 922 00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,160 Speaker 4: them to the carpet. I want Hunter Biden from here too, 923 00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:28,399 Speaker 4: fourth in those rooms again thinking about ways in which 924 00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,759 Speaker 4: he can help impact tell the goddamn truth. So yes, 925 00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:34,560 Speaker 4: if you're going to be in those rooms, then carry 926 00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:36,680 Speaker 4: it with the full weight and responsibility that you have 927 00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:38,600 Speaker 4: as a former president and a leader and a visionary 928 00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:40,880 Speaker 4: for our party. Two, don't throw no, don't throw no 929 00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:45,000 Speaker 4: damn grenades and had your hand. Three Police, please be 930 00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:48,800 Speaker 4: honest with the people. Tell them that a thing is 931 00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:51,040 Speaker 4: a thing, and that we should not pretend not to 932 00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:54,919 Speaker 4: know what we all know. Just call it four. 933 00:51:55,719 --> 00:52:00,520 Speaker 3: Andrew Gilliams should be in those rooms every tag. Yeah, 934 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:05,759 Speaker 3: I think, yes, I'm really unfortunate, and this could be 935 00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:09,160 Speaker 3: Andrew's choice. I don't know, uh if I'm not volunteering you, 936 00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,239 Speaker 3: but I do feel like the insight that you have 937 00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:21,960 Speaker 3: a ground game, a field game, communication, an understanding of policy. 938 00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:23,680 Speaker 4: If they don't want to hear from me, and let 939 00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:26,879 Speaker 4: me tell you why they still are treating my race 940 00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:31,239 Speaker 4: like an anomaly. Anytime one of us do something that 941 00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:38,359 Speaker 4: is extra than the ordinary, it's treated as culture personality, 942 00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:44,120 Speaker 4: very singular and its impact. And we almost always never 943 00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:48,239 Speaker 4: ever learn the lessons, the right lessons from a race 944 00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,600 Speaker 4: like the one that we had, because what did they 945 00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:53,480 Speaker 4: do right after is they went right back to the 946 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:57,960 Speaker 4: former Republican dressed them up, you know, as best they 947 00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,279 Speaker 4: can again as a Democrat, through all the money that 948 00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:03,319 Speaker 4: they could at least harness at that time, trying to 949 00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:08,000 Speaker 4: out conservative or conservative. And when Republicans have a choice 950 00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:09,759 Speaker 4: between the real thing and the fake one, they go 951 00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,200 Speaker 4: with the real one every time. And I'm also willing 952 00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,840 Speaker 4: to bet when Democrats who are voters are out there, 953 00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,120 Speaker 4: when we have a choice between the real thing and 954 00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:20,000 Speaker 4: the fake one. We go with the real one all 955 00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:24,440 Speaker 4: the time. And so if you're still treating twenty eighteen 956 00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,040 Speaker 4: in Florida like it was an anomaly, the closest race 957 00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:31,239 Speaker 4: we've gotten short of winning, and that they're not important 958 00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:35,600 Speaker 4: lessons to take from it, that you're going to revert 959 00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:40,280 Speaker 4: every cycle afterwards back to the conservative Democrat, usually white, 960 00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:47,919 Speaker 4: usually male model, who is gonna get you thet's say. 961 00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:52,200 Speaker 1: You see, I just want to point out that Tiff 962 00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,480 Speaker 1: the people where Tiff is agree with what Andrew's saying 963 00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:57,920 Speaker 1: so bad they can't hear him in they are amen corner. 964 00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:00,600 Speaker 3: So we just want to shout there, can you hear 965 00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:02,239 Speaker 3: the people I'm about to go?

Our brother 998 00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:42,200 Speaker 1: is as a politician, a public servant, and a protester 999 00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:44,239 Speaker 1: when he needs to be well. 1000 00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:48,000 Speaker 4: Continue with our theme of the American justice system, we 1001 00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:52,360 Speaker 4: turned to the unfortunate scenario unfolding and the death of 1002 00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:54,440 Speaker 4: Breonna Taylor. Stay tuned for more on that. 1003 00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:11,520 Speaker 1: Speaking of the protest and deepening into courage, we had 1004 00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:16,160 Speaker 1: an administration that was willing at least somewhat to challenge 1005 00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:20,880 Speaker 1: law enforcement, especially when they were wrong. Breonna Taylor's killer, 1006 00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:26,920 Speaker 1: Brett Hankerson, was just Hankinson. Sorry, I said Hankerson. Hankerson 1007 00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:33,960 Speaker 1: was sentenced despite the Trump's Department of Justice seeking just 1008 00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:38,080 Speaker 1: one day, was sentenced to thirty three months in prison 1009 00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:42,440 Speaker 1: for killing a black woman. And while thirty three months 1010 00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,120 Speaker 1: is not sufficient, what we know is this is the 1011 00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:48,520 Speaker 1: first time in the federal government's history that it has 1012 00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:52,799 Speaker 1: ever brought a civil rights violation, a federal civil rights 1013 00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:58,520 Speaker 1: violation case to a police officer who's killed a black 1014 00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:03,359 Speaker 1: woman get a significant The sentence sucks, y'all. It is 1015 00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:06,359 Speaker 1: not sufficient. We should if you take a black woman's life, 1016 00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,000 Speaker 1: you should have to do more than less than three 1017 00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:10,839 Speaker 1: years in jail, right, But the fact that they were 1018 00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:14,200 Speaker 1: able to do that and this damn Department of Justice, 1019 00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:18,080 Speaker 1: Trump's DOJ takes the case over and wants to essentially 1020 00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,640 Speaker 1: get rid of the sentence. What I'm deeping in into 1021 00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:23,600 Speaker 1: right now is my frustration that it is more than 1022 00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,720 Speaker 1: likely that Donald Trump will pardon this officer. Right, so, 1023 00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:30,320 Speaker 1: even when you see that we've justice is finally served, 1024 00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:32,480 Speaker 1: kind of right, because we're still only talking about less 1025 00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:34,760 Speaker 1: than three years. This is where we are right now. 1026 00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:36,760 Speaker 1: So I want to talk about the need for courage 1027 00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:38,200 Speaker 1: and a time like this too, and what kind of 1028 00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:38,640 Speaker 1: hope can. 1029 00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:44,520 Speaker 4: We offer files I just want to my sincere prayer 1030 00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:48,560 Speaker 4: is that there is not a single person, and certainly 1031 00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:53,400 Speaker 4: not a single black woman, who decides to make any 1032 00:57:53,480 --> 00:58:00,080 Speaker 4: meaning of any meaningful nature to the statement that the 1033 00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:05,160 Speaker 4: Trump administration is clearly sending this racist overture, which is 1034 00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:09,840 Speaker 4: not even a it's no longer a dog whistle, it's 1035 00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:13,280 Speaker 4: a bullhorn. They're straight up yelling it from the mountaintop. 1036 00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:16,520 Speaker 4: This is who we are. Get used to it. The 1037 00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:18,960 Speaker 4: thing they, of course don't fathom is that we've always 1038 00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:22,360 Speaker 4: known that was who they were. We were playing along. 1039 00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:27,680 Speaker 4: But it's exceedingly clear right now that there ain't nothing 1040 00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:31,640 Speaker 4: about this administration that is intended to protect our human 1041 00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:38,200 Speaker 4: lives or to in any way value us as living, breathing, human, 1042 00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:42,360 Speaker 4: contributing members to this society. In the most suspicious and 1043 00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:47,280 Speaker 4: significant way. They don't care for us. They do not 1044 00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,720 Speaker 4: value our lives. This is not news. I hope for 1045 00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:53,880 Speaker 4: anybody on the listening side of this, and I hope 1046 00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:57,360 Speaker 4: that not one of us internalizes what they are attempting 1047 00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:01,320 Speaker 4: to communicate to us as anything meaning more than what 1048 00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:06,880 Speaker 4: we've always known it to be. They're diabolical, and so 1049 00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:08,960 Speaker 4: this is the kind of thing you would expect from 1050 00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:15,440 Speaker 4: a diabolical people. Is the recommendation that Breonna Taylor's life, 1051 00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:19,160 Speaker 4: regardless of the fact that this officer fired indiscriminately with 1052 00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:23,000 Speaker 4: no view into the home through the windows, through the doors, 1053 00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:27,560 Speaker 4: through the walls, and could have killed anybody, could have 1054 00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:32,760 Speaker 4: killed anybody, a child in that room, her partner. They 1055 00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,880 Speaker 4: don't value us, but I don't have the expectation that 1056 00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:38,200 Speaker 4: they ever will. What we have to do is continue 1057 00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:41,439 Speaker 4: to position ourselves so that we can continue to bend 1058 00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:49,000 Speaker 4: this moral arc right and hopefully, y'all, we'll be able 1059 00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:52,520 Speaker 4: to be on the receiving end of our body's work 1060 00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:57,080 Speaker 4: but like so much as true about our ancestors, most 1061 00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:59,560 Speaker 4: didn't become beneficiaries of what they labored. 1062 01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,479 Speaker 1: We've been saying say her name in response to making 1063 01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:05,720 Speaker 1: sure they don't forget the name of the person whom 1064 01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,400 Speaker 1: they killed. And all we're seeking is for people to 1065 01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:09,880 Speaker 1: be able to say our name, so we can turn 1066 01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,920 Speaker 1: the corner and enter the room, right to be seen alive. 1067 01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:15,640 Speaker 1: So I would love to hear your thoughts about you know, 1068 01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,280 Speaker 1: where the judge ended with this sentence and what the 1069 01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:20,840 Speaker 1: Trump administration was actually seeking with for that one day. 1070 01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:27,320 Speaker 3: Well, what's interesting Hopefully we'll have a guest on soon 1071 01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:32,200 Speaker 3: in the coming weeks from the DJ from Biden's d OJ. 1072 01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:36,720 Speaker 3: But what's interesting about this is the way the DJ 1073 01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:41,280 Speaker 3: has been reconfigured, particularly when you look at the Office 1074 01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:45,040 Speaker 3: of Civil Rights, but also just through and through even 1075 01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:48,720 Speaker 3: as you look at how they're eroding the US government. 1076 01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:55,280 Speaker 3: All agencies where there was an overwhelming amount of black 1077 01:00:55,320 --> 01:01:02,680 Speaker 3: women represented were disproportionately defunded. The DJ where the staff 1078 01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:04,160 Speaker 3: of people of color I think is like less than 1079 01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:07,120 Speaker 3: one percent or not less than one percent. I'm sorry, 1080 01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:10,640 Speaker 3: it's mostly white men. They cut funding by less than 1081 01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:13,280 Speaker 3: one percent at the DJ and they have reconfigured it 1082 01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:21,360 Speaker 3: to classify white people as the precisely, they have reconfigured 1083 01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:25,680 Speaker 3: it to classify white people as the aggrieved class. And 1084 01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:29,320 Speaker 3: so when the sentencing when when initially when they were 1085 01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:32,000 Speaker 3: asking for a one day sentence, I've lost my ability 1086 01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:35,520 Speaker 3: to be shocked, you know, I'm like, yeah, that makes sense. 1087 01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:39,760 Speaker 3: I we talk often on this show that the courts 1088 01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:44,600 Speaker 3: will not hold Donald Trump appointed over two hundred, mostly 1089 01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:49,680 Speaker 3: white men, mostly legally inept people to lifetime appointments. Now 1090 01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:53,720 Speaker 3: Joe Biden surpassed that, so there's some hope. I just 1091 01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:58,760 Speaker 3: don't know that that is going to save us, and 1092 01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:01,800 Speaker 3: so I'm not sup any of this. Angela. I've been hearing. 1093 01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:03,720 Speaker 3: I haven't followed closely, but I have been hearing the 1094 01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:08,040 Speaker 3: chatter that he will likely pardon this officer. We've also 1095 01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:10,800 Speaker 3: talked about this with Derek Chauvin, which I know there 1096 01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:14,240 Speaker 3: are state charges there. So I just I can't stomach 1097 01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:16,560 Speaker 3: all of it. I can't take the incoming all the time. 1098 01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:22,040 Speaker 3: But the constant message that we're getting in this country 1099 01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,120 Speaker 3: or black women don't matter, our bodies don't matter, and 1100 01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:28,040 Speaker 3: it's not I'm saying black women in particularly and not 1101 01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:31,920 Speaker 3: including black men, because we sit at the intersection of 1102 01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:36,480 Speaker 3: the sexism that we see and the racism that we see. 1103 01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:40,120 Speaker 3: Our bodies do not matter when it comes to health 1104 01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:43,600 Speaker 3: issues that disproportionately impact black women. Who gives a shit. 1105 01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:46,600 Speaker 3: There are no funding for that, no pink ribbons for 1106 01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:51,680 Speaker 3: things that disproportionately impact us when it comes to our income, 1107 01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:54,360 Speaker 3: our finance level, and for this particular woman, I would 1108 01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:58,360 Speaker 3: encourage anybody if you haven't so, please read what happened 1109 01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:01,960 Speaker 3: to night Brehanna Taylor was killed murdered. Ton of Haseea 1110 01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:03,520 Speaker 3: Coats did a great artic. I think it was her 1111 01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:06,040 Speaker 3: vanity fair. But if you google tan of Hoseea Coats 1112 01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:09,440 Speaker 3: and Breonna Taylor, he talks to her mom and her 1113 01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:14,000 Speaker 3: mom walks through what happened that night. Her mom for hours, 1114 01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:17,760 Speaker 3: did not know that her daughter was dead. For hours, 1115 01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:20,440 Speaker 3: nobody talked to her. She was going from one location 1116 01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:22,720 Speaker 3: to the next, asking well, can somebody give me an 1117 01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:28,520 Speaker 3: update on my daughter? Are losing our children doesn't matter. 1118 01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:30,920 Speaker 3: So these are the things that are making me despondent. 1119 01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:36,600 Speaker 3: And I just want to add this piece. I wish 1120 01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:39,280 Speaker 3: everybody would read asado with me, because I want to 1121 01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:41,920 Speaker 3: talk about it all the time. But when Asada Shakur 1122 01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:46,440 Speaker 3: was in the hospital bed after being falsely accused, beaten, bloodied, 1123 01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,480 Speaker 3: chained to a bed, and these these things still happen. 1124 01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:54,440 Speaker 3: They still chain black women. If you're pregnant in labor, 1125 01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:57,160 Speaker 3: doesn't matter, they chain you to a bed. The police 1126 01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:59,760 Speaker 3: officers will come and punch her in her wounds, and 1127 01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:02,720 Speaker 3: they would also take their fingers and stab her in 1128 01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:05,520 Speaker 3: the eye with their fingers with a hot substance on it, 1129 01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:08,439 Speaker 3: so her eyes would burn so she couldn't see. And 1130 01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:11,520 Speaker 3: there is physical violence that we endure, but what we're 1131 01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:14,240 Speaker 3: talking about with Breonna Taylor is the structural violence that 1132 01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:16,600 Speaker 3: we endure. I don't know how we survived this. We 1133 01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:20,120 Speaker 3: will survive it. Not everybody, though, And that's I keep 1134 01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:22,320 Speaker 3: reminding people of that, like, yeah, we survived, said, well, right, 1135 01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:26,120 Speaker 3: it's not everybody. We survived enslavement, but not everybody, And 1136 01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:29,240 Speaker 3: so she was somebody who didn't survive this moment. And 1137 01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:33,560 Speaker 3: to relive this now, it's just I just I feel 1138 01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:36,920 Speaker 3: it with so much rage and sadness. Sadness first, and 1139 01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:40,560 Speaker 3: the sadness falls into a callus of rage. I just 1140 01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:43,080 Speaker 3: I don't know what to do, Guys, I really don't. 1141 01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:45,120 Speaker 3: I don't know what happens next. What will we do 1142 01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:48,760 Speaker 3: if they if they pardon the police officer, then then 1143 01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:52,720 Speaker 3: what comes next? Are we gonna riot again? And I 1144 01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:54,520 Speaker 3: will tell you this is they eclip it if they 1145 01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:58,200 Speaker 3: want to. I am a person I believe that riots 1146 01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:02,520 Speaker 3: are a language that gets a response, and under this administration, 1147 01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:05,360 Speaker 3: I don't know, but I don't know that holding hands 1148 01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:09,560 Speaker 3: and singing Kumbaya gets the same response as the white 1149 01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:13,080 Speaker 3: man's money. I'm not encouraging writing because at this point 1150 01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:15,240 Speaker 3: they can turn the military against us and start shooting. 1151 01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:17,400 Speaker 3: But I just don't know what where do we take 1152 01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:18,440 Speaker 3: our outrage? 1153 01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:23,480 Speaker 4: I mean, I think we have to one stop pretending 1154 01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:25,840 Speaker 4: as normal. I think we have to I think each 1155 01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:30,480 Speaker 4: of this has to be treated with the level of 1156 01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:33,600 Speaker 4: seriousness that we feel it. If we had no reaction 1157 01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:38,440 Speaker 4: to a pardon by this president of this murderous man 1158 01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:43,640 Speaker 4: of black women, shame on us, because we then create 1159 01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:45,760 Speaker 4: a permission structure by which they can do the shit 1160 01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:49,960 Speaker 4: again and again and again with no anticipation for a 1161 01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,920 Speaker 4: pushback from us. So no, we have to be righteously 1162 01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:56,960 Speaker 4: indignant this time and every time, because say their names 1163 01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:00,840 Speaker 4: mean the names keep changing. A new target, a new person, 1164 01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:08,800 Speaker 4: a new family, a new child, spouse, mother is impacted. 1165 01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:12,720 Speaker 4: So every time and every time, we have to show 1166 01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:17,120 Speaker 4: rage every time so that they hear, they so that 1167 01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:19,960 Speaker 4: they know that they can't keep passing this way with 1168 01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:25,840 Speaker 4: no pushback. You can't keep doing this thing, thumping us 1169 01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:28,640 Speaker 4: on the head and thinking that you're not gonna get 1170 01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:32,440 Speaker 4: pushed in pushing in a thoat next time because they 1171 01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:36,680 Speaker 4: don't consider us. So we we we we, yes, we 1172 01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:43,320 Speaker 4: must respond, but this response has to be tilted toward accountability. 1173 01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:46,880 Speaker 4: So however we show our anger. Yes, let's do it, 1174 01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,600 Speaker 4: but we need to know what accountability day is coming. 1175 01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:52,479 Speaker 1: And I think who we're throwing and on that sorry 1176 01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:55,240 Speaker 1: tip on that on accountability day is coming in our 1177 01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:57,760 Speaker 1: accountability is the show's gonna rap very soon.

But anything that you're doing, 1201 01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:14,800 Speaker 3: that's that's keeping you from stealing on the next person 1202 01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:22,960 Speaker 3: that says something that's how I feel. 1203 01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:23,400 Speaker 6: Uh. 1204 01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:25,400 Speaker 3: And just because I have the MIC, I just want 1205 01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:28,960 Speaker 3: to say a really quick congratulations to the Mario Solomon 1206 01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:33,439 Speaker 3: Simmons who won his case against the Creek Nation it 1207 01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:38,800 Speaker 3: was a situation where the indigenous community was denying Black 1208 01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:45,479 Speaker 3: Creek Nation members membership, and so in this victory, Uh, 1209 01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:48,360 Speaker 3: he's literally saving lives because they will have access to 1210 01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:52,719 Speaker 3: life saving benefits just as the government is taking them away. 1211 01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:54,360 Speaker 3: Angela will correct me if I got any of that 1212 01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:56,360 Speaker 3: wrong legally, but. 1213 01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,719 Speaker 1: Maria will likely join us next week. Ag what you got? 1214 01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:05,639 Speaker 4: I love it? We got it? Okay. My real quick 1215 01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:12,920 Speaker 4: is I was asked yesterday what is the advice that 1216 01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:17,120 Speaker 4: I'm giving my sons in light of the latest incident 1217 01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:19,840 Speaker 4: that was made public It dates back to February but 1218 01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:24,160 Speaker 4: in Duval County, Jacksonville, Florida, where the young man was 1219 01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:29,680 Speaker 4: roughed up, punched in the face, the police hit out 1220 01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:34,559 Speaker 4: the window all because he was asking what was legally 1221 01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:36,519 Speaker 4: allowable for him to ask, which is why you pulled 1222 01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:38,280 Speaker 4: me over. That's supposed to be the first thing that's 1223 01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:42,559 Speaker 4: declared when you are stopped, is the reason being given? 1224 01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:45,519 Speaker 4: And then am I under arrest or resist a citation? 1225 01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:50,639 Speaker 4: And his basic questions were met with the most brutal 1226 01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:57,439 Speaker 4: attack from law enforcement. And by the way, y'all, this 1227 01:09:57,479 --> 01:10:02,880 Speaker 4: is all happening under a black republic. Male sheriff, who 1228 01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:05,439 Speaker 4: is about as bad as the same creatures that he 1229 01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:09,439 Speaker 4: basically said acted within the authority and the scope of 1230 01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:12,679 Speaker 4: their responsibility as a law enforcement entity. So I would 1231 01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:15,320 Speaker 4: just say, we have to revisit what advice we are 1232 01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:19,080 Speaker 4: giving our children. It used to be pretty formed that 1233 01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:23,120 Speaker 4: we knew how to comport ourselves around law enforcement. And 1234 01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:25,720 Speaker 4: my cliff knows. Version of what I'm telling my kids 1235 01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:29,960 Speaker 4: is basically, we're gonna get the justice. You believe that, 1236 01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:34,000 Speaker 4: but in this moment, I need you to survive. And 1237 01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:36,559 Speaker 4: so these are the things that we're going to pay 1238 01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:42,040 Speaker 4: attention to for survival, and then Daddy and Mama and 1239 01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:46,200 Speaker 4: our village will get justice on the other side of 1240 01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:50,759 Speaker 4: you surviving this incident. And I just would like folks 1241 01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:54,160 Speaker 4: to revisit this conversation with their children. 1242 01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:57,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, can I make a request because this is such 1243 01:10:57,240 --> 01:11:00,679 Speaker 3: a it's all over social media. If we've been talking 1244 01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:05,200 Speaker 3: about it, I think it deserves more conversation than the CTA. 1245 01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:07,080 Speaker 3: So maybe this is something we can talk about on 1246 01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:10,280 Speaker 3: the mini pod or a later episode. But would love 1247 01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:14,280 Speaker 3: to revisit this because I the pain, even in your 1248 01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:17,120 Speaker 3: voice Andrew of saying and that so many parents say 1249 01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:19,439 Speaker 3: that like, I just want you to come home. It 1250 01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:21,840 Speaker 3: doesn't matter what, let me deal with it, you come home. 1251 01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:25,880 Speaker 3: So I would love to pick that up if we can. 1252 01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:29,799 Speaker 1: It is definitely a weighty and emotional topic again, especially 1253 01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:32,759 Speaker 1: given the backdrop of Breonna Taylor and how that situation 1254 01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:36,000 Speaker 1: could have gone for mister McNeil junior I believe is 1255 01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:41,000 Speaker 1: his name. I speaking of the village that Andrew just 1256 01:11:41,040 --> 01:11:43,519 Speaker 1: brought up. I want to deepen us into what it 1257 01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:48,439 Speaker 1: means to stand up mutual aid networks. You can start 1258 01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:51,719 Speaker 1: with your neighborhood and your pods. Who are the people 1259 01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:54,080 Speaker 1: when it all goes down, if the electricity goes out, 1260 01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:56,120 Speaker 1: that you're going to talk to to make sure that 1261 01:11:56,200 --> 01:12:00,599 Speaker 1: everybody's safe in your neighborhood, in your family? What are 1262 01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:03,680 Speaker 1: the phone numbers you know by heart? Where are the 1263 01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:06,000 Speaker 1: places where you can go see? I can pick BlackBerry's 1264 01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:07,800 Speaker 1: up my street, but I can't pick much else. So 1265 01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:11,080 Speaker 1: I got to figure out some other solutions. I want 1266 01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:14,320 Speaker 1: you to think about your neighborhood pods and who has 1267 01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:17,559 Speaker 1: what gifts and talents? Are there five people that you 1268 01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:19,879 Speaker 1: can call on who do different things? Is there somebody 1269 01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:22,599 Speaker 1: who fixes things? Who knows how to be handy if 1270 01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:26,560 Speaker 1: the electricity goes out. Someone who has a military background 1271 01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:30,120 Speaker 1: that can help you with some basic survival incincts. Who 1272 01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:35,240 Speaker 1: can help y'all organize emergency bags to go, a water supply, 1273 01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:39,559 Speaker 1: emergency food. The other thing that I would suggest is 1274 01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:43,240 Speaker 1: tapping into the local farmers in your area and figuring 1275 01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:48,520 Speaker 1: out some type of bartering system. This sounds like doomsday, armageddon, 1276 01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:50,960 Speaker 1: end of the world. And I will tell y'all the 1277 01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:53,479 Speaker 1: reason why this is top of mind for me is 1278 01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:55,160 Speaker 1: my mom and I were waiting for my dad to 1279 01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:57,960 Speaker 1: meet us at this restaurant the other day in Madison 1280 01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:03,000 Speaker 1: Park in Seattle. The electricity completely went out and my 1281 01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:07,080 Speaker 1: mom looks at me and she says, ang, they attacked 1282 01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:11,280 Speaker 1: the grid, and she was convinced. Right our phones weren't working, 1283 01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:15,280 Speaker 1: nothing was working. So what I'm saying to you is 1284 01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:19,720 Speaker 1: this is closer than it may appear. And again, don't 1285 01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:21,400 Speaker 1: want you to be doomsday, but I do want you 1286 01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:24,679 Speaker 1: to be prepared. There was a very cheesy, awful slogan 1287 01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:29,320 Speaker 1: that came from Secretary shirt Off under George Bush, the 1288 01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:33,000 Speaker 1: first Department of Homeland Security secretary. He said, be prepared, 1289 01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:34,760 Speaker 1: not scared. This is going to be the first and 1290 01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:38,519 Speaker 1: last time you ever hear me quote Secretary Churttop. But 1291 01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:40,880 Speaker 1: I do think that that is indeed the point. And 1292 01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:42,880 Speaker 1: so if we can get prepared and know that we 1293 01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:45,599 Speaker 1: will survive, Andrew to your point, I think that will 1294 01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:46,120 Speaker 1: be all right. 1295 01:13:47,439 --> 01:13:49,479 Speaker 3: I just can I make a quick fact tech you 1296 01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:51,200 Speaker 3: can tell me if I'm wrong. But I'm pretty sure 1297 01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:54,400 Speaker 3: Tom Ridge was the first DHSC I think you're right. 1298 01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:56,280 Speaker 1: You're right, You're right. 1299 01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:57,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I forgot about it. 1300 01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:03,280 Speaker 1: Churchtop was care not here, but he yes, still remember that, 1301 01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:07,120 Speaker 1: George H. W. Bush. But you're right, and Tom Ridge 1302 01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:08,400 Speaker 1: is you're correct? My bad. 1303 01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:09,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm the Pennsylvania governor. 1304 01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:13,599 Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate that. Yeah, when you get your bags, 1305 01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:14,519 Speaker 1: get your best. 1306 01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:17,200 Speaker 3: I ain't heard that name shirts off in so long, 1307 01:14:17,439 --> 01:14:19,519 Speaker 3: and I forgot all about that. That's how old we 1308 01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:21,360 Speaker 3: get in y'all. Because I'm like, I do remember that. 1309 01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:24,160 Speaker 3: Just when you're saying, don't be dooms, they don't be scared, 1310 01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:25,960 Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't know, girl, Like I think we 1311 01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:28,360 Speaker 3: should be a little well, I think prepared. 1312 01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:30,519 Speaker 1: I think that there's a different and maybe this is 1313 01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:32,960 Speaker 1: just the distinction I should make. I think there's one 1314 01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:35,960 Speaker 1: thing to be clear eyed about what we're up against. 1315 01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:39,200 Speaker 1: I think there's another doomsday to me, means well, forget it. 1316 01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:41,800 Speaker 1: There's nothing we could do. It's just gonna die. Right. Yeah, 1317 01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:44,400 Speaker 1: whereas I'm saying, no, here are some tactical things that 1318 01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:46,679 Speaker 1: you can do that mayfield because when I'm saying establish 1319 01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:48,679 Speaker 1: a mutual aid network, well what does that really mean? 1320 01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:52,960 Speaker 1: So if you can identify five people in your neighborhood, 1321 01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:54,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with y'all. You guys can hold 1322 01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:56,479 Speaker 1: me account. But this I don't talk to none of 1323 01:14:56,479 --> 01:14:58,559 Speaker 1: my neighbors. So I'm gonna have some work to do. 1324 01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:01,479 Speaker 1: But we may be in a situation we got to 1325 01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:04,160 Speaker 1: lean on each other. So just say, hey, y'all, you know, 1326 01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:06,040 Speaker 1: I don't know what your gifts are. I can cook, 1327 01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:08,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. If you guys got one of them 1328 01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:11,000 Speaker 1: little burners that operate on the fire outside, I can 1329 01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:14,000 Speaker 1: hook y'all up in that regard. I got some cast irons, right, Like, 1330 01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:18,760 Speaker 1: what can we do? Who was in the military, who 1331 01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:21,880 Speaker 1: you know, worked for the federal government, it does whatever 1332 01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:24,200 Speaker 1: it is, Who does how to do cold who got 1333 01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:27,759 Speaker 1: a satellite phone? Whatever it is? Just find your tribe 1334 01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:28,400 Speaker 1: and rock. 1335 01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:30,639 Speaker 3: With so many people. When we have the doomsday expert 1336 01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:37,720 Speaker 3: on so many survivalist, survivalist AFRO, so many people afrovivalists, 1337 01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:41,040 Speaker 3: so many people were saying, No, I'm good, I didn't 1338 01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:41,880 Speaker 3: fall a long enough. 1339 01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:47,080 Speaker 4: No, it's gonna have to take it. 1340 01:15:53,160 --> 01:15:56,000 Speaker 3: They were not feeling it. I don't have a plan though, 1341 01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:57,400 Speaker 3: when you when you step up, like I don't talk 1342 01:15:57,439 --> 01:16:00,760 Speaker 3: to my neighbors. But my only plan Michael here, who 1343 01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:01,439 Speaker 3: I am? 1344 01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:02,160 Speaker 1: What if you? 1345 01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:05,200 Speaker 3: Is what I'm thinking. 1346 01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:06,400 Speaker 4: But I'm so. 1347 01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:08,960 Speaker 3: Proud and jealous because Michael Harriet. His book is over 1348 01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:11,000 Speaker 3: a year old, and it keeps popping up on the 1349 01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:15,240 Speaker 3: New York Times bestseller list. They have never Michael and 1350 01:16:15,280 --> 01:16:17,639 Speaker 3: his wife have never invited me to their home. They've 1351 01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:19,559 Speaker 3: never said, Tiffany, come stay with us. And I've been 1352 01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:23,479 Speaker 3: there about five times now. They are my doomsday plan. 1353 01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:25,479 Speaker 3: Like I if I can't get on the plane, I 1354 01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:27,000 Speaker 3: don't know. I'm not to drive, I'm abot to hit. 1355 01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:29,080 Speaker 1: You have to walk, you like walking Hell, you have 1356 01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:30,040 Speaker 1: to walk to Georgia. 1357 01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:31,760 Speaker 3: I will walk, I will walk. 1358 01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:35,599 Speaker 4: But y'all, it's it's we're saying doomsday because it seems 1359 01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:38,679 Speaker 4: it seems so rare and like not going to happen 1360 01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:42,280 Speaker 4: during our lifetime. But you know, as you rightly, I 1361 01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:46,160 Speaker 4: think we're leading us to Angela the assaults. The attacks 1362 01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:50,479 Speaker 4: are less militarized, you know, going forward and into the future. 1363 01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:55,360 Speaker 4: These are these are much more what we might think 1364 01:16:55,400 --> 01:17:01,720 Speaker 4: as benign, but they're logistics. It's airplane and those satellites 1365 01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:04,559 Speaker 4: being shuttered, and then pilots are not knowing whether they're 1366 01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:08,120 Speaker 4: going into the sky or into the ocean. It is 1367 01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:16,160 Speaker 4: traffic signalization that much of it cooperates on a grid system. 1368 01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:21,720 Speaker 4: It's power plants being not shuttered. They can continue to operate, 1369 01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:25,839 Speaker 4: but all of the calculations around its output are shuttered, 1370 01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:29,960 Speaker 4: and so you basically end up creating nuclear bombs out 1371 01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:32,320 Speaker 4: of these facilities that are then generating too much if 1372 01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:35,320 Speaker 4: they don't have a felt set turn off you're talking about. 1373 01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:37,479 Speaker 4: I know we're cutting out of here, but I just 1374 01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:43,200 Speaker 4: want folks to know this is not so remote a 1375 01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:47,320 Speaker 4: set of possibilities as you might think. These are logistical. 1376 01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:51,160 Speaker 4: It feels like every day benign, But just think about 1377 01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:53,320 Speaker 4: what happens when you can't get fresh well, you can't 1378 01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:55,160 Speaker 4: get water out of the water at the sink because 1379 01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:59,639 Speaker 4: it's been contaminated because somebody manufactured and played with the formulas. 1380 01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:05,040 Speaker 3: Of twenty people are like, millions of people are going 1381 01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:07,920 Speaker 3: through that right now, and I know we've got a 1382 01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:10,160 Speaker 3: hop So I just want to say the doomsday clock, 1383 01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:14,160 Speaker 3: if you're not familiar, is it's a symbol that represents 1384 01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:18,440 Speaker 3: the estimated likelihood of some sort of man made global catastrophe. 1385 01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:21,280 Speaker 3: And a lot of people follow the doomsday clock. The 1386 01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:25,320 Speaker 3: doomsday clock right now says it is eighty nine seconds 1387 01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:26,560 Speaker 3: until midnight. 1388 01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:28,120 Speaker 4: So it shifts. 1389 01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:32,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, it shifts as it assesses threats, and as of 1390 01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:35,000 Speaker 3: I think January twenty twenty five, eighty nine seconds to midnight. 1391 01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:39,680 Speaker 3: So on that happy note, thanks, and we'd like to 1392 01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:40,760 Speaker 3: we'd like. 1393 01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:43,519 Speaker 1: To remind you all if you have a video that 1394 01:18:43,680 --> 01:18:46,080 Speaker 1: is of course tips favorite time during the show, we 1395 01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:48,040 Speaker 1: want you to send in your video with your comments. 1396 01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:49,559 Speaker 1: It could be a little bit of shade to us, 1397 01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:53,400 Speaker 1: Miss cross Angela.
