10
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: host with Sean McDonald. It's important to understand that everybody

11
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: travels a different path to success. That's because your brand

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: is different, and always tell people the way they achieved

13
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: it is different. So you need to start writing your

14
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: own store and stop reading theirs. That's how you achieve success.

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: That's what Money Making Conversations is all about, bringing people

Speaker 1: me to say that. But because I respect you and

38
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: we've kind of like we we met early when we're

39
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: at the radio station. I remember when you came by.

40
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: I spoke to Steve and myself, and we both were

41
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: finding out place in our balance. And and you have

42
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: your voice. And I remember last time I was doing

43
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: the show, I talked about your conference on to be

44
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: able to speak your truth. And I see that every

45
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: night on CNN and with the with the what we've

46
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,839
Speaker 1: seen happened in this country. In one of the first

47
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: thing I want to talk about is that, you know,

48
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: we caused to hear about the Republicans in Congress and Senate.

49
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: This country is being divided. We don't want to divide

50
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: the country. But you and I both know as a

51
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: black person, we have always lived in a divided country.

52
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on that. Well, we're used to um,

53
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, we're used to dealing with things as they say,

54
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: We're used to um people not looking out for us,

55
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 1: for getting the short end of the stick. But when

56
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: you speak about unity, and if you want to unify

57
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: the country, if you want unity, then there must be compromised. Yes,

58
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: and uh, there are certain people in this country who

59
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: are not used to compromising. And I used to compromise

60
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: at all, and so this is a foreign thing for them.

61
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: They're not used to losing. And so you see, you

62
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: get what's happened. What happened last Wednesday in the capital.

63
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: You get people storming the capital because they believe there's

64
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: no way that they can lose. That they're that the

65
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: society has built for them. It's made for them, the laws, everything,

66
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: the election, the White House, the Capital is all made

67
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: for them. How can they lose? And so what they

68
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: haven't real what they've what they've lost in all of

69
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: this is quite frankly, when you do something like that

70
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: is your mind. So if you want unity, then you

71
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: have to compromise, and you also have to realize that, well,

72
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: maybe I should have been telling the person who was

73
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: in charge that they needed to compromise as well, and

74
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: I should have been preaching munity months if not years ago,

75
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: And that's absolutely truth. Now. I live in the state

76
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: of George, Atlanta, George. In fact, we saw some Republicans

77
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: who were in the charge of the voting system down here.

78
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: In fact, Brad Ratzenberger is my neighbor, and I saw

79
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: what happened to him where he has a football stadium,

80
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: lights on his yard, so people will come up to

81
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: his house at night. People would just go up and

82
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: down the street protesting. So I saw that when I

83
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: saw what Brad Rothsenberger did and Gabriel Stirley, what was

84
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: your thoughts there were Republicans and you saw them being

85
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: twisted and laid out to the wind. Well, I was

86
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: happy that they that they did their jobs, and I

87
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: was happy that they um as public officials, that they

88
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: abided by their oaths. They had to, they had to

89
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: do what was in um. They had to follow the

90
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: law quite simply, and I'm glad they followed the law.

91
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: But imagine if we had some people who were not

92
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: as scrupulous UM and who um did not have the

93
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 1: amount of integrity that they do now. Listen, UM. Brad

94
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: Rathensburger has been highly criticized, and I think many people,

95
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: I would say rightly so for what for purging the

96
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: voter rolls before the last election, uh, and what some

97
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: would deemed to be voter suppression. But at least in

98
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: this one instance where we are now that you know,

99
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: those things have been dealt with by other Stacy Abrahams.

100
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how much he's dealt with it, but

101
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: at least where we are now, he stood up for

102
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: the rule of law. He followed the laws, and he

103
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: stuck by his morals. And his principles, even when UM,

104
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: a sitting president, tried to co opt him and get

105
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: him to UM steal an election for him. So I

106
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: have to say that I'm happy with the way how

107
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: they stood up to this particular president and really to

108
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: something that is un American. What was so shocking up

109
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: to you about that phone called that Donald Trump madez

110
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: nous of it? Yes, Seawan, it was so brazen and

111
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: as if it was deserved. It was a height of entitlement.

112
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: But all so listen, I don't, I don't. I'm not

113
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: mincing my words here. It was crazy. He was an erratic,

114
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: he was romantic, he was basically not basically said I

115
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 1: need these votes. Find them. He said, find me eleven

116
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: thousand votes. I need eleven thousand vote votes. Come on, guys,

117
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: all I need is this. The election was stolen. And

118
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: every time he came up with some conspiracy theory about something,

119
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: you know, well they were they they took the machines up,

120
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: didn't Dominion take the machines or whoever? And they're like, no,

121
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: didn't they change the insides? No? Didn't they get rid

122
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: of votes or they burned votes or they um destroyed votes. No,

123
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: everything weren't they putting stuff in suitcases? No, every single

124
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory that he had, they they they they denounced

125
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: it or um, you know. And it was so odd

126
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: to me because it gave me a picture of the

127
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: people who were around him. They debunked it. As a

128
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: word on a forth. He gave me an idea of

129
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: the kind of people who are around him. He's surrounding

130
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: himself with people who believe exactly what he believes. And

131
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: that was what That's what shocked me the most. What

132
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: I was saying, he really believes that people are taking

133
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: the parts. That's Pal, that's her because the height of

134
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: her conspiracy theory and theories there when you look at Juliani.

135
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: But when I discovered the most that shocked me. We've

136
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: always heard of our voter suppression. This was voter suppression

137
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: at his legally finest at the highest level from the president.

138
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: That's what really took me aback so much. I went, wow,

139
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: he actually recorded that phone call, no telling what he

140
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: did when the guys when he flew to people up

141
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: from Michigan, what he told them, because that was not

142
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: recording and release. I'm pretty sure that conversation was very

143
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: similar don't you the elections from Michigan, of course, and

144
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: then they were, you know, all at this hotel afterwards,

145
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: having drinks and whatever, and I'm sure that they were

146
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: very happy about being UH in the Oval office. And

147
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: there was even I think one or maybe too if

148
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: if I'm correct me if I'm wrong, among them who

149
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: UM at some point was not going to do it

150
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: and then did it, like when it was not going

151
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: to certify the election in UH in their county, and

152
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: then decided to do it and then express remorse about

153
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: the regret about actually doing it. So in some ways

154
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: they did go along with him, but it was too late.

155
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: It had already been signed and certified. So yeah, for

156
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: all of that is just the brazenness and the entitlement.

157
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: And then of course we can do whatever we want.

158
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: We can do whatever we want. Can't you find me

159
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: the votes were all on the same team. That's exactly

160
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: what happened on Wednesday. We can do whatever we want.

161
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: This is our house, we own this, You work for us,

162
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: and we're taking this over entitlement. That's what that is.

163
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: And quite frankly, it's also white supremacy, especially what happened

164
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. We are the people who this country was

165
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: built around. Therefore we can do with it whatever we want. Yeah,

166
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna. I didn't see it play out. I was

167
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: with my staff for meetings, tied up, and my wife

168
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: text me said, Rashan, they're rushing the capitol. And I

169
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: didn't know she was talking about Georgia because in my

170
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: mind I couldn't believe when she's capital she was referencing

171
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: d C. You actually saw it play it play itself out.

172
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: Just walk through you just can you walk through your

173
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: steps in your mind watching this playout? What was running

174
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: through your mind? The unbelievable procedures to process, and then

175
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: days later talking about I'm talking about when you when

176
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: they we know, when Donald Trump said go down there

177
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: and you got to take this country with force. Well,

178
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: I was watching it UM live and but you know,

179
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: before I went in and I said my my My

180
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: thought was will this is really dangerous and then UM

181
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: I sent a note to my boss saying it's really

182
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: interesting to watch. In the same moment, Biden was announcing,

183
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: you know, one of his um nominees. I forget, maybe

184
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: it was attorney general. Together he was talking about who

185
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: he was going to nominate for a position, how he

186
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: was going to roll up the vaccine, what he was

187
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: gonna have to do to get the economy back on track.

188
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: And here you had a sitting president airing grievance is

189
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: publicly about an election being stolen, and um, what you

190
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: needed to do and don't and and fight and tell

191
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: basically telling people to go backwards, or to be stagnant,

192
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: or take your take your country back and go back

193
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: to the past. And then you had a president electroyning

194
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: to pull the country into the future. And I just said,

195
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: this man is the past. It's over. And he doesn't

196
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: realize that he's whipping these people up. What he's doing

197
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: is very dangerous, dangerous. And then they started voting on

198
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: the thing. And no, not sooner than they started voting,

199
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: I started seeing they started putting up. We started getting

200
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: notes about there were people in the capitol and that

201
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: it was getting violent. And I said, and here we go.

202
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: This is exactly what he wanted. It was. I I

203
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: sat there Rashaan watching it play out, and I was

204
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: just you know, just sort of watching it in awe. Oh,

205
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: that's the best word. I wasn't shocked. It wasn't it

206
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: was it was shocking. That they were allowing that the

207
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: Capitol Police were allowing them to get as far as

208
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: they were getting. But I wasn't surprised that it was happening,

209
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: because that's what we have been warning people of all along.

210
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: That's what he has been signaling signaling to all along,

211
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: is some sort of insurrection and fighting that when you

212
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: say fight, stand up, be strong, all those things, and

213
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: what does that? What does that do? You're whipping up

214
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: a crowd. So I wasn't surprised that it happened. But

215
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: when you see it play itself out and you see

216
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: the facts starting to roll in, you start seeing the backstore.

217
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: What is the most shocking information has been delivered to

218
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: you that you've had this talk about since you see

219
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: the see more detail from the FBI for internal security.

220
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: What is shocking you the most about that insurrection moment?

221
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: It was it's again, I'm not shocked, But I think

222
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: what's the most interesting is the coordination UM. And it's

223
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: not surprising that there may have been people there who

224
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: are working with them, including members of security, including security members,

225
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: whether that's police officers, Capital police or private security there.

226
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: That's not surprising because law enforcement UM, it is documented,

227
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: has ties to um to white nationalist groups, right, And

228
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: so I'm not even the head of the FBI said

229
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: the other day that we're going to be surprised to

230
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: see the things that come out. They are investigating police

231
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: officers from from the capital, and they're investigating police officers

232
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: from around the country, as well as firefighters as well

233
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 1: as members of the military. So I'm not surprised that

234
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: with any militia group that there's that element, and even

235
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: outside of that, even policing, that that element is drawn

236
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: to that. Now, listen, I know that you know, we

237
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: always say not all that, not all police officers are

238
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: bad police officers. Certainly they're not, and I'm not talking

239
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: about that, and I'm not talking about the brave men

240
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: and women who put their lives on the line at

241
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: the capitol of that day. That was certainly some heroism

242
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: going on, Right. It should be concerning to any of us,

243
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: to all of us, that there are members of the

244
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 1: security forces who have been we are being investigated or

245
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: at least suspected of possibly participating. It's finally here the

246
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: season of celebration, and no matter how you celebrate with

247

281
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: most when you when you look a look at what

282
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: is happening right now and leading up to what should

283
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: be a historical moment. We're talking about Kamala Harris being

284
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: officially vice president of this country, and then we it's

285
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: the several days after the celebration of Dr Martin Luther

286
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: King's birthday. It seems so timely. It seems like black

287
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: people should be celebrated, should we be celebrating this moment.

288
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: Should the country be celebrating as the moment or should

289
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: we be just taking a deep breath and say, what's

290
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: the future gonna hold? We're not. We don't know because

291
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: of Donald Trump. I think we should be in this

292
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: moment optimistic UM, but UM careful because we don't know

293
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: what's gonna come. And I think that there will be

294
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: a moment to celebrate. And it ain't over till it's over.

295
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: So I think when UM the oath of office is

296
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: given UM, this incoming president starts working on his agenda

297
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: as it relates to the country, as it relates to

298
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: people of color, as it relates to getting the people

299
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: back to work, and as it relates to UH, to

300
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: ridding the nation and helping rid the world of a pandemic,

301
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: I think then we can start to celebrate. So I

302
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: think we should be optimistic right now. We should be

303
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: happy that the country is moving in the right direction,

304
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: moving away from UM, white nationalism, hopefully white supremacy hopefully

305
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: UM and just dark forces that have been among us

306
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: UH and running this country for such a long time.

307
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: So there's there's gonna be a time to celebrate. And

308
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: I hope that time is soon. Well we were when

309
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: you talk about celebration and now celebration open the teen

310
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 1: steal out there raging. There's no plan, there's a there's

311
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: two plans out there. There's the before you go to COVID. Man,

312
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: that suit is bad. I'm sitting here looking like man,

313
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: I could rock that on my show. Well, I would

314
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 1: tell you something. Um, you could, because you're you're fair

315
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: a dresser yourself by friend, Come on, now, you know

316
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: the reality is that when I watch you a TV

317
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: on at ten o'clock at night following uh cuomo uh

318
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: you guys are act together, my friend, I wish I

319
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: missed my big studio where I could actually because you know,

320
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: I like to dress nicely, especially on television, and so

321
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 1: in the big studio, you know, you had the Jim

322
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: camera swinging around you, and you had so you could

323
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: see your whole suitent so I would dress you just

324
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 1: now this is all you see it. That's it, that's it.

325
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: That's but. But but when when you're talking, you know,

326
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,959
Speaker 1: you you know, like, let's go to other shows. They

327
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: show more. I see, uh, I see my man less

328
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: the hope he's standing. Sometimes I get to see you know,

329
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: you see way more of David Murror and then you

330
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: I get to see probably the shoulders to the top

331
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: of your head. Right, So I try to do a

332
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: good tie, good pockets, wearing a good jacket. But sorry,

333
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: you were talking about something really important and that's UH life.

334
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: And I think that levity has to be brought into

335
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: because there are people out there who refused to live

336
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: in their homes because of COVID. They've changed their lifestyle.

337
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: Everything is one of my and my wife is like

338
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: that too because of the fact she just doesn't feel safe.

339
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: And I see Operation wolf Speed. I'm gonna ask you

340
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: this question here, don Okay, he was holding back some

341
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: of the vaccine for the second past is for and

342
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: I believe he is right. Bad Biden is saying, you know,

343
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: vaccinated everybody, vaccinated everybody. I believe that's the right policy

344
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: to approach to take. And we just you're not talking.

345
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: We can't make any of these decisions. I'm just thinking,

346
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: how I think the more people you get vaccinated, the

347
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 1: more people can get comfortable and start circulating and moving

348
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: around this country. Yeah, you're right, And then um, because

349
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: when you hold some of it back and some of

350
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: it goes bad. We've learned, right, and so it's better

351
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: to get it in in in somebody's arm rather than

352
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: having it go bad. But the odd thing, it's not

353
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: even odd, the fact that the matter of Rashan is

354
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: that the dunes say odd, it's awful. I was just

355
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: talking UM to someone who's saying, my my family, my

356
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: fiance saying, my family, his mom and dad can't even go.

357
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: You can't find the vaccine where they are. And they

358
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: are over the age of seventy five and they are

359
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: eligible and it's but they can't find it in their town.

360
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: My mom is over the age of seventy five and

361
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: it is available in her town, but she can't get

362
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: it because either because they haven't reached out, or they

363
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: are the you know, the contact information, or just something.

364
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: The rollout on this has been horrific. It's been terrible.

365
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: They have been losing vials, they have been not been

366
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: using it, they've been opening vials, and then people come

367
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: in at the end of the day they're like, oh,

368
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: we still have so many left in the bowl running

369
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: who wants a vaccine and they and they, you know,

370
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: sticking in people's arms who may not necessarily be UM Uh,

371
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: in you know, in the age range to get it now.

372
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: But I think that they should do that rather than

373
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: waste the vaccine. So I think you're right. Get it

374
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: in everybody's arm as many people as possible at this point. Uh.

375
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: And that way you start to develop this a real

376
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: herd immunity, not the fake one that they talked about before.

377
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: You are in a position to talk to us every night.

378
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: It's your opinion in some ways is fact a point

379
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: of view. It's always based on fact. You know, what

380
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: are you because there's a lot of sad news. It's

381
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: sad news. When we looked at what happened to George Floyd,

382
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: we look at COVID, those numbers just keep going up.

383
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: You look at the lives being played out by dollar Trump,

384
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: the whole third in four quarter this year, you saw

385
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: the insurrection. How do you feel? What motivates you? I

386
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: guess I want the question I want to ask to

387
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: feel good about America? What motivates me to feel considering

388
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: everything that's going on, that you and I could sit

389
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: here and talk freely like this, that you and I

390
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to do what we do. UM that UM,

391
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: there are people here who support us, and that there

392
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: are laws that are in place that can um that

393
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: provide us with opportunities. You can't necessarily change people's hearts

394
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: in their minds, but you can certainly change their behavior

395
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: through laws. And we have the laws in place in

396
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: this country. And I think that America is it is

397
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: the land of opportunity. And so while we have all

398
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: of these forces who are trying to stop us from

399
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: doing things, we have all the craziness that's going on

400
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: in the country, if there is still a way for

401
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: you to succeed in this country doesn't mean that you're

402
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: not going to be discriminated against. It doesn't mean that

403
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: you don't know that there's racist them in, bigotry and

404
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 1: all that and all kinds of phobia, homophobia, all kinds

405
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: of things that are out there. But within when you

406
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: consider the world, I think this is um the best place,

407
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: are one of the best places on earth to have

408
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: opportunity as a person of color. And so that's what

409
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: keeps me going. But it also keeps me going that

410
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: I love this country and I want I want, I

411
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: wanted to be better. And part of loving this country

412
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: and wanting it to be better is being able to

413
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 1: criticize it, and that's what the First Amendment is all about.

414
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: My job is protected by the First Amendment. So in

415
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: my mouth and my words are protected by the First Amendment.

416
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: And so that's the only way that they're going to

417
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 1: get changed, that you're going to get changed, is by exercising, um,

418
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: that right, those rights that come under the First Amendment.

419
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: So as someone who is a big mouth, someone who's curious,

420
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: someone who loves to get their point of view, and

421
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: even at times when I'm not on sitting to give

422
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: my opinion, then there's no other place on earth that

423
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: I other be than here. That's what keeps me going. Well,

424
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: your point of view. I had a lot of fun

425
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: watching this week when um, when it was stated that

426
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was the most masculine person there over the

427
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: whole Why uh, why are you start? You know, you're

428
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 1: stirring it up. That's my last question down, I said,

429
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: haven't saying this for the end either. You're gonna answer,

430
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: but you owe Fox more. You won't see ann that

431
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: week they were showing you every tuck a call to

432
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: ad you lord Ingram Sean Hannity, I said, is he

433
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: on Fox now? Senn? But that was the funniest thing. Man.

434
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: I laughed so hard at you the whole week, And

435
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: sometimes that levity is necessary these times, the trying time.

436
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: But boy, you went off, man, you went off. Done.

437
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: It was such an odd answer because because people feel

438
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: like they've got to um constantly praise I's gonna say,

439
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: you know, kiss what, but I feel like they have

440
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: to constantly praise this man and stroke his ego. Um.

441
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: And the question was do you think by being on

442
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,719
Speaker 1: social media that that emasculate him, which means you know,

443
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 1: that did that in in some way, um subdue him

444
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: or steal his thunder or or you know that sort

445
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 1: of thing. Instead of was like, oh, he's the most masculine,

446
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: It's like that's not really you know, I know he

447
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: said emasculate, but that's not really where he was going

448
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: with that question. And for you to sit there and

449
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,479
Speaker 1: like he's the most masculin, it's like shut up, like

450
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: shut just stop it. Stop being ridiculous, because that's what

451
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: got us into this mess in the first places. But

452
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: I want to tell you, I'm gonna tell I'm done.

453
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: I like, I'm laughing that because I know you're very serious.

454
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: I know you're very focused. But you're exactly right. When

455
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: you miss here something and then you stated so badly

456
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: in the wrong direction, you have to comment the way

457
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: you commented, and it just brought great levity. Is a

458
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: lot of truth to what we saw. But they I'm

459
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: glad you said truth because again I try to everything
