8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: I most emphatically state that I disagree with the decision

9
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: of the leadership of the NABJ to develop a panel

10
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: featuring Donald Trump in a session that does not include

11
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: any black media organizations and for that matter, black mail journalists.

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: He went on to say that the decision was one

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: of folly and cowardice and does not keep with the

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: historic tradition of NABJ and Black media as a whole.

15
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: The session with Trump went on as plan, where he

16
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: questioned Kamala's blackness we all saw it, saying she became black?

17
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 3: What is that?

18
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: He insulted the model and uh he was and said

19
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: he was the best president for black people since Abraham Lincoln?

20
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: What like?

21
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: Why does he keep saying that?

22
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 3: Why not?

23
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,639
Speaker 4: So did y'all see that all of it on social media.

24
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. Yeah, it was so rude.

25
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 3: Well this I do. I'm kind of side with Earl Graves.

26
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 3: I get it. I understand. I understand him protested and

27
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 3: not going I do.

28
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of people were upset about it.

29
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: But I think once Trump got there and people actually

30
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: saw it, especially black people that may have.

31
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 2: Been on the fence and maybe we're going to vote

32
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: for him.

33
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,000

00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: Well for the Paris Summer Games, athletes that win the

88
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: gold gold medalists also receive money. They get money, they

89
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: get the medals, they get the money and from their

90
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: respective nations. As expected, the US doesn't pay as well

91
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: as other nations. The average US gold medal winner will

92
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: get only about thirty eight thousand dollars. Still a lot,

93
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: but yeah, when you compare it to other nations, because

94
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: because junior, we're expected, as you know, to have a.

95
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: Lot of winners, a lot of gold medals, all right,

96
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: So that's why.

97
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: But for the all are places like say, for instance,

98
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: Hong Kong gold medalists will receive seven hundred and sixty

99
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: eight thousand dollars.

100
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 3: That's what it should be.

101
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 5: What it should Yeah, and I can assure you when

102
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,559
Speaker 5: they walk over to Lebron and stuff with just thirty

103
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 5: eight thousand, they could be like, what is that?

104
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 3: What is this here?

105
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: Which I want to do with your rent?

106
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 3: You know, well, let's just let's just donate it to somebody.

107
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, well maybe they should do that.

108
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 4: Maybe the professional athletes should donate it to the other

109
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 4: US athletes that aren't professionally and you know that they

110
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 4: don't have a big pat sports on a regular basis.

111
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 3: That would be cool. You get to go mad.

112
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,239
Speaker 1: Israel will get around huh, would you say.

113
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 3: The soccer girls, the rugby girls. I'm sure they don't

114
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 3: get as much. They you could donate it to those girls.

115
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 3: That would be good. All women's sports.

116
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: Of course we don't have as much.

117
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: But to your point, yes, thirty eight thousand is all

118
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: the Americans get. Gold medalists from Israel will get around

119
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy thousand.

120
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 4: Uh.

121
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: And then the totals, then the totals go down to
