WEBVTT - Is America’s Healthcare Killing Us? 0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:05.320 What's up? Family, it's your girl to meet the d 0:00:05.480 --> 0:00:09.239 Mallory and it's your boy, my son, and where your 0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:15.319 host of street politicians, the place which politics me? What's up? What? 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:20.880 I was literally on my phone, minding my business on 0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:24.440 my vacation. You see, there is such thing in this 0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:31.560 world as a baction, and I'm on it right now. 0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:35.160 But you know I'm doing. I'm committed to one thing, 0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:37.960 which is that we take our show no matter what. 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:42.040 But I'm on vacation and I've been trying to stay 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:48.680 off the damn Internet with the damn American crisis that 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.560 is of every damn thing, because it's it's a crisis 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:52.839 over here and over here and over here and over 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:55.440 haren over here, over here, over here, over here. But 0:00:56.000 --> 0:01:01.160 I couldn't help but notice that Jackson, Mississippi has no water. 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:05.560 So you know, when you get to the point where 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:12.160 there's no water, right and we know for years the 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:15.920 mayor Chokwe Lamamba, who we love, that's our brother, has 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:20.720 been sounding the alarm about infrastructure needs. He's been denied 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:25.280 funding to deal with some real serious infrastructure problems. There. 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:29.160 There's some new I think it might be a congresswoman. 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.440 I have to look it up, and she's either congresswoman 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:35.800 or a senator. Uh that is there also who voted 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:39.839 against the Build Back Better plan and infrastructure. So she's 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:43.920 just one of those people who's anti everything. I haven't 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:47.280 even looked her up, but I promise you she's a Republican. 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.360 I promise you, all right, No, I mean, I'm gonna 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.840 look it up because you know, maybe I'm wrong, but 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.080 I'm just saying it speaks to your theory what you've 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:57.280 been talking about week after week that we want. This 0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:59.640 is why we have to build our own party and 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:03.120 run our own candidates, because at this point you got 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:06.080 one party of people who at least they'll vote for 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:08.600 the right things, but a lot of times too many 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.799 of them are two week to push for transformative change. 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:15.320 They just want to keep patching stuff up. And then 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.240 you've got another side of people who will just obstruction 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.880 is completely. So it's just a disaster. But they have 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:27.600 been but chokwe Um, Mayor Lamamba and others have been 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:33.120 fighting for funding to deal with pipes, to deal with waterlines, 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:37.000 sewage lines. All of that has not been dealt with, 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:40.720 and so it's gone from a little bit of water 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:47.560 water issues to know running water at all. You can't 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:51.519 drink it, you can't wash with it, nothing. The schools 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:56.239 have been closed, government buildings, businesses have been Now we 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.919 just came out of COVID. The businesses cannot a full 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:03.000 word to be shut down. People in their homes have 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:07.560 no water. This is a disaster. How does this happen 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:12.680 in a Madika? We had Flint, the Flint water crisis 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:16.680 in Newark. At some point, there was infrastructure issues at 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.840 different places around the country. I think even at St. Louis. 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.720 So it's not just in the two places we've heard of. 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:27.000 But now Jackson, Mississippi, has lost all of their water. 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:33.240 What is the coach's name, um Dion. So he's the 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:38.000 coach of the college, right, he has to move his 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:43.040 students off, you know, outside of Jackson somewhere, the the 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:48.240 the athletes, because they don't have water to take a shower, 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:51.000 they have no water at all, not to eat with, 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:54.240 not to brush their teeth or anything in the city 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:58.840 of Jackson. This is outrageous. That is unbelievable to me 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:05.880 that in the twenty first century that we have we 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:09.920 don't have water, running water in the in the state. 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:13.000 It's like it just doesn't even make sense to me, 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.479 and and and there's no real understanding of it. There's 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.040 no real understand It's just that, you know, we live 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:23.400 in this capitalist society where everything course money, and you're 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.839 paying for this and people can't get the basic necessities 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:30.359 of running water, but the people are paying. Because today 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.479 I haven't had the out because I'm on vacation, but 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:37.080 I am going to go do some more research because 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:41.520 now you know, until Freedom Wote vote and others are 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:43.760 starting to get together to see what we can do 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:48.360 to help. And in my research to stud small little 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.080 bit of research I did today before coming on the show, 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:55.560 people's water bills are super high, so folks have been 0:04:55.600 --> 0:05:00.279 paying their bills. Some people haven't because they weren't getting 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:04.160 the proper water treatment, but most people are paying their 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.839 water bills. And for what like it should never get 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.599 to the point where the system has to be shut 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:15.560 down completely. And of course the governor and other officials 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:19.680 have water tanks outside their house, trucks out there feeding 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.880 the water. The fire department does not have water to 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:26.760 fight a fire like this is very serious and you 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:30.320 know what really just shook me today and this and 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:34.600 actually I was so busy reading and trying to understand, 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:38.560 and I was getting into little details and what it 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:45.559 just kind of like struck me was the the the 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:49.200 the idea of what the hell is happening in Parchment prison. 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:54.360 In other places where we already have had to help them, 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:59.120 the incarcerated individuals fight for their rights to clean food, 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:04.000 to you know, uh, toilets that work, to all of 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:07.560 the inhumane things that they were fighting against. Now they 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.120 don't have water, what so what does that to? They 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.800 don't take bass, They have their their commos that they 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:14.920 have to be in the same room with are full 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:18.320 of feces. It's not like anybody's gonna bring them cases 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.719 of water and packed and put poland spring in the 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:25.159 in the world just water because I support just water 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:30.000 by my little brother Jaden Smith, you know, Jada Pinket 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.719 and Will Smith's son um. But anyway, no one's gonna 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:37.040 bring cases of just one. Well, Jaden actually would bring 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.120 cases of just water, but they won't even let it 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:44.680 in to the jails because it's not authorized. I mean, 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.960 it's just so many things about the system that's all 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.720 over the place. I don't know some days, I just 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:54.480 don't know. And you probably never will man. My grandmother said, 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:58.880 the realer ship up. She said, she said, some things 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:02.520 you'll never is whole. My mother toler one day she said, 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.360 I don't get it. I don't understand, and she said, 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:07.560 you think it build the whole world of for things 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:11.480 you don't understand. And I realize right now this is 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.120 the world they built because I don't see none of this, 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:18.239 because it just makes no sense whatsoever. So anyway, anyone 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:25.400 who's listening and watching, find some organizations, particularly folks in Jackson, Mississippi, 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:29.400 local groups that are doing um, you know, relief work 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.880 to get of course I haven't heard. Maybe maybe by 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:34.800 the time I get we get off of here and 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:38.000 we check out the news, female will be there or 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.240 some government entity that will be there to help people. 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:46.040 But um, that wasn't the case earlier this today. So 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:50.360 you know, find people to plug in with and make 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.400 sure you support them and help them in any way 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.640 that you can kill. A mamba who works who is 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:58.560 the mayor's sister, but she works on her own as 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.920 an organizer in the city of Jackson. She's someone that 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:07.680 folks should tap it Rukia lamamba checking her and help her, 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:09.680 you know, help them to do what it is that 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:13.480 they need to do. The Mississippi uh, what is it 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:18.560 called the Mississippi Prison Reform Coalition, even though they work 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:20.760 specifically with the prisons, and I'm sure they're going to 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:24.640 be looking at relief measures for Parchment and other prisons. 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:29.160 But those individuals are activists and organizes leading in Jackson 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:31.960 all over and you should tap in with them and 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:34.680 see how you can support groups that are working to 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:41.320 get water to the residents of Jackson. Definitely. So I 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.520 was looking in the news, and you know, this business 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:47.800 the whole thing. Ever since Young Thug and other guys 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:52.720 been down with this indictment, the prosecutor to leave prosecutor 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:58.960 in Atlanta, UM, I believe she made another um sweep 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:02.600 of arrests about six team more individuals that she said 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:07.080 is getting affiliated and they're responsible for home invasions and 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:11.080 robberies and all types of things. And they asked some 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:15.280 of them actually are rappers, and she said that they 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:18.760 will be using the lyrics in the songs that they 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:21.760 made to prosecute them. And a lot of people are 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:25.880 angry saying hip hop is under attack and that you 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.840 can't use lyrics, and she said one of the most 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:32.480 symbolish in the world. She said, you know, hip hop 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:38.120 is not under attack. If you are doing crimes and 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:41.960 we investigating you for the crimes, and you put said 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:47.880 crimes into raps describing that you've done them, we are 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.319 going to see it as a confession you're telling on yourself. 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:54.719 We're going to utilize that along with your case. Now, 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:56.560 if you don't want to do it, then don't rap 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.480 about it. And if you do want to rap about it, 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.640 you don't want it to to be prosecuted and to 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:06.479 be utilized against you, then you should probably leave my county. 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:08.400 And that was the relationship. To me. It's just like, 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.719 you know, we've all been young, we've been dumb, and 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:14.920 I try not to be critical because I'm a child 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.920 of hip hop. I was one of the most hard 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:21.360 rappers and the late nineties, you know, most of my 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:25.240 lyrics were so hardcore, and because because that was my 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.679 reality and most of us had our reality. But what 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:34.120 we understood was you can't talk about crimes that's actually 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:38.000 being committed or being committed right, especially when you're involved 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.560 in them, and if you do, they're going to utilize it, 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.199 you know, So I try not to be critical, but 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.720 I just think that it's it's as nine, you know, 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.320 and the district accounty, I mean, the district attorney's name 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:53.080 is Fanny Willis in Forton County. But I think it's 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:57.680 assinine to think that you can literally rap about crimes 0:10:57.880 --> 0:10:59.840 and the police are not going to do their job. 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:04.240 Have whole task force that they utilize for Instagram and 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:07.760 Facebook and all of that, Like they have whole units 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:12.400 inside police stations. Now that uh, that's the gives strictly 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:17.920 for to decode, you know, the words, the slaying, inside 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:21.600 of the hip hop, all of these things. So I'm 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:25.680 definitely against, you know, the silence of the um first 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.439 Amendment right, the right the speech, and in all those 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:31.480 things freedom of speech. But if you freedom of speech 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:33.840 says you can say what you want. It doesn't say 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:35.920 that if you say what you if you admit to 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:39.320 a crime, that they're not going to utilize that freedom 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.560 of speech against you. You can say whatever you are, 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:43.480 you can you you can say whatever. You go outside 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:48.199 and say, yo, I killed such and such eighty five, right, 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:53.200 you know, the Constitution does not protect that statement from 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:56.040 connecting you to the body that somebody lost the eighty 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:58.480 five that they can connect you to. It does not 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.680 protect you against So I think it's asking on that 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:05.040 we have these conversations. You know, I wish a lot 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.319 of our young youth and hip hop artists just get 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.680 away from it. Man. You know, I think you know 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:17.559 the time of really promoting violence, not not just having entertainment, 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:21.280 because sometimes it's a balance negative and positive. Sometimes you 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:24.920 talk about negative things. Sometimes we have negative realities. Some songs, 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:29.520 you know, have negative um situations in them. We talked 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:33.080 about things you would do to your worst enemies, hypothetical situation, 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:36.760 but put in real life beefs in in ways that 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:40.240 people have been harmed, lives have been taken into songs. 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:44.000 At this point, it's pointless and it's gonna get you 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:48.040 locked up. You know, I wouldn't know this question. How 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:51.000 would you respond to somebody who says, oh, my son 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.720 not And I also heard U, DJ Envy and Charlemagne 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:58.760 talking about the same thing. How would you respond to 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:01.960 artists or people who are listening to you speaking right 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.240 now and they're like, oh, so you're saying that I 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:07.080 committed the crime just because I spoke. You know, I 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.880 said something in my lyrics, so you you support in 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:13.439 you know, the the octs that the costs coming for us. 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.559 How would you respond to that? How would you respond 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:21.000 to somebody who's even gonna say that, You know, you're you're, you're, 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:29.760 you are um CO signing arresting these big entertainers, little 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:34.160 guys whatever they are under because of their lyrics. Are 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.880 you saying you agree with her that everybody who's saying 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.360 it is doing it as well? You know what what 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:46.360 I'm saying is, I'm totally against you taken someone's lyrics 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:50.880 as as evidence in chief, meaning the only evidence you 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:54.120 have is that I wrapped about a situation that you 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.720 can't even prove happened. Right, That's the only evidence you have. 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:01.120 There's no other connections, So that right there is just 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:06.080 utilizing lyrics against me. But if I'm in the streets, 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:10.079 you have a video of me coming out of a 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:14.840 building right with somebody just got a shot. I got 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.040 an old black I jump into a black car. I 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:21.720 drive off mom. They come in and do the investigation. 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.840 People seeing me. Some of the intel says that I 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.040 was a person and I make a song to a year. 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.400 I ran in the building, I shot him, jumped in 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:31.880 my black cheep and I drove off niggas, don't want 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:37.760 to beef with me if you did that, right, I 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.000 think that's the dumbestip in the world. Even if you 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.840 didn't do that crime, I'm not even talking about that crime, 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:45.280 even if I witnessed that crime, even if I was 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:49.800 just there witnessed it, I was around that situation to 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:53.360 talk about the crime that I can actually be connected 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:57.720 to that actually happened. That they have other evidence that 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:01.800 connects me to the people who admitted those crimes. It's 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.640 the dumbst shitted world. It makes no sense to me, 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:06.800 you know what I'm saying. But if you just if 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.320 you're just trying to convict me purely on lyrics that 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:11.280 I said, but you don't got no other evidence that 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.680 even puts me near to seeing the crime, that connects 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:15.720 me to anything that has to do with it, then 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:18.400 that's that doesn't make sense. Now you just prosecute me 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.400 based on entertainment, based on words that I said. But 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:25.160 when you understand that you are connected. If you if 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.600 you're a man caught a body or your man shot 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:30.160 somebody and you were standing there, you watched it, and 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:34.280 you rapped about it, now it's a at that point 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:36.560 you we already seen you there at the scene in 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:38.920 the crown, We got you on the camera, we see 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.280 you sitting right there. We got four or five witnesses 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:44.520 that says such and such a right there, and and 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:48.040 you talk about that, and you described the whole scenario 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:52.360 the way it exactly happened. Then you gotta deal with that. 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:56.320 That's that's that's just the reality of what's happening. So 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.440 let me say the reason why I hear what you're saying. 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.160 And and I asked the question as Devil's advocates, I 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:04.600 know you're not saying go lock up anybody because of 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:07.000 their lyrics, but that's what something I wanna say. But 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:11.480 that's not the point. I was um talking to someone 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:13.760 I loved. I won't say who they are because I 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:17.960 don't want to expose that person. And they said, you know, 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:21.320 they loved jury duty. They just love to go to 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:25.120 juluty and they love the grand jury. That's their soft 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:28.520 spot of what they You know, they are okay with 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:33.560 being because this particular person was on a grand jury 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:38.800 impanelment or in panel something. He was impaneled for a 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:42.680 grand jury for over a year because they were just 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.880 seeing cases. One behind the next, one behind the next, 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:49.440 handing down indictments or not. And one day he told 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:53.120 me that, you know, he said, I go to jury 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:58.680 duty because in the movement he heard people say, make 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.760 sure you go to jury every duty if you want to, 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:04.720 you know, be a steward of the movement and make 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:07.520 sure you're protecting the rights of young black and brown people. 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.840 And he said, I want to see justice. He was 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:15.080 going to jury duty to make sure that they bought 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:17.480 some bullshit. He would be the one person in the 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.200 room that said, hell, no, we won't go. He was great. 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:23.720 That was his thing. He said. The Facebook and the 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:28.000 Instagram was the number one thing that they would bring 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:32.480 in and show you the word, what people, the messages, 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:35.879 the fights back and forth, the words they were using, 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:41.440 the um you know, the the the guys or girls. 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:44.560 They became artists some kind of way in the process. 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:48.199 And he couldn't even help. He could not even stand 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:52.360 in the way because the situations was so clear as 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:56.159 day that when the and and these were federal indictments, 0:17:56.320 --> 0:18:00.000 that when they were bringing these cases, he couldn't even say, 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:04.159 you don't know, I see something here, discrepancy here, or 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:08.440 bring nothing. It was it wrote about it. They took 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:11.760 pictures of it. They showed where they was, how they was, 0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:15.480 everything they did. The girls was talking on social media 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:18.280 with their friends about how he my man getting money 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:21.040 and this is going on, and that's going on. He 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:23.520 said it was very you know, he was able to 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:27.200 help with a few, but more than likely or more 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:31.040 likely than not, and in more times than few, they 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:35.280 sent people to prison. And it's it's it's self incrimination. Man. 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:38.680 So I listen, I'm old for justice and I don't want. 0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:41.560 I literally hate to see people go jail. I spent 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:43.840 seven years of my life in prison. I know some 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:46.840 of my friends who were not never coming home for 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:50.040 ten dollar crimes who then twenty something years or ten 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:53.480 dollar crimes and things like that. So I'm I'm well 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.680 aware of the injustice that this system does. But I cannot, 0:18:57.080 --> 0:19:00.560 as a man of honor and principle and integrity, act 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:06.640 like you tell them on yourself and putting you know, um, 0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:10.120 putting pertinent information from crimes that you know we're committed 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:13.439 or that you're engaged in or involved in or or 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:16.840 no people that have evolved into music makes sense, you know, 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:19.199 and and and you think that and you and you 0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:23.600 blaming anybody but yourself. If if you're blaming anybody but yourself, 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:26.880 I can't help you. I can't help you with that. 0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:29.600 You know, it's there's nothing I can do for you. 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:33.080 I want to be the advocate. I'm anti prison. I 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:36.320 want to be forget the system. The system is all broke. 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:38.560 I want to make your all this. But when you 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:42.800 self incriminate yourself and you give these people evidence and 0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:45.159 in all of the things they have to put you 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:47.639 in prison and to take away your freedom, then you 0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:50.120 have to figure out how you deal with that. That's 0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:52.520 a that's a conscious decision as a man. You we 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:56.639 we watch numerous cases and numerous situations with social media 0:19:56.680 --> 0:20:01.159 and people in putting out their business in situations and 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:04.640 they talk about real situations in music and we see 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:06.840 has been used against them. And if you continue to 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:09.199 do that, then you've made a conju decision that you 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:12.199 want to go to jail. And respectfully, I gotta I 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:14.679 gotta respect your decision as a man or a woman. 0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:18.359 I hear that. I mean, it's a fine line because 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:21.800 we want to make sure though that um, you know, 0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:27.639 whatever Mrs Fanny Willis is doing is right. And we 0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:30.639 don't know. You know, we have no idea of knowing. 0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:32.840 I don't know what you're doing, but I know what 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:35.280 she said made a hundred percent sense. I don't know 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:38.680 exactly what's going on, but when she says, if you're 0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:42.320 rapping about crimes that actually happened, and we have evidence 0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:44.640 that shows that these crimes happen, and we can put 0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:47.239 you involved in those problems and you're rapping about it, 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:50.920 we are definitely going to utilize those songs as evidence. 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:54.800 And that made a hundred percent says to me, Yeah, well, 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:57.720 God bless it's a lot, and I mean some of 0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:00.840 the charges and the time that of these people are 0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:05.560 looking at is real serious. So you know, my prayers 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:08.080 and I don't once again, I don't wish jail on anybody, 0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:11.480 but I cannot. I cannot sit here and act like 0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:14.840 I'm going to support ignorance and stupidity. I'm going to 0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:18.480 you know, it's not like you don't know when when 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:20.560 they're telling you what you're constantly doing it that that 0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:23.320 means you made a conscious decision that you just don't care, 0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:26.480 you're willing to deal with those consequences. Well, speaking of 0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:30.240 ignorance and stupidity, let's get into our topics. We got 0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:34.080 to bring our guests on UM and my thought of 0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:36.760 the day is directly connected. So I'm just gonna merge 0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:45.760 it all together. I was reading on one of our 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:51.199 blog sites, one of the blog sites that the woman 0:21:51.440 --> 0:21:56.640 in California who drove our car into the gas station 0:21:57.000 --> 0:22:00.880 and I guess ninety miles an hour speed and killed 0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:06.399 I think five people and injured others. Um that she 0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:13.520 may have lost consciousness while driving. There seems to have 0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:16.159 been well. At some point there was a report, and 0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:18.640 you gotta be real careful because a lot of times 0:22:18.960 --> 0:22:23.840 you read comments online and didn't start repeating it as fact, right, 0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:28.159 And that's very dangerous, and we're all guilty, of all 0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:30.840 guilty of it. Because at some point they said that 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:35.719 she had had twelve or thirteen other accidents before this 0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:41.080 incident took place that day, and UM, so I started 0:22:41.080 --> 0:22:45.920 digging and looking. I couldn't find anywhere where that was substantiated. 0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:48.879 And in fact, I saw people debating back and forth 0:22:49.119 --> 0:22:53.359 where someone was saying that's a not true. So it 0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:56.680 may be, it may not be, but let's just isolate that, 0:22:56.840 --> 0:22:59.320 right if we find out that that's absolutely the truth, 0:22:59.359 --> 0:23:03.960 that she had seen other traffic violations, moving violations. We're 0:23:03.960 --> 0:23:07.040 gonna have to reintroduce that and and discuss this again. 0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:09.800 But let's just since we don't know, we're isolating it 0:23:09.840 --> 0:23:13.560 to what happened that day when watching that video, and again, 0:23:13.840 --> 0:23:17.480 I don't like watching videos of tragedy, but this particular 0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:21.320 situation could have been any one of us at that intersection, 0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:25.480 going to the gas station, driving pulled, over coming through whatever, 0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:32.440 and walking walking to the store. This lady, when I 0:23:32.480 --> 0:23:35.640 saw it, I had to keep watching it because I 0:23:35.680 --> 0:23:39.360 was literally trying to get in the car and understand 0:23:39.760 --> 0:23:43.000 what in the hell was going on in the moments 0:23:43.040 --> 0:23:46.240 before this. Someone else that I do trust, but I 0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:49.360 still have not verified it, said that she was at 0:23:49.440 --> 0:23:53.440 work earlier that day and was not doing well mentally, 0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:56.080 and so they let her go home for something like 0:23:56.240 --> 0:24:00.760 mental health, break her job. Right, They released her that 0:24:00.880 --> 0:24:04.760 day and let her go home, and she has this terrible, 0:24:04.960 --> 0:24:09.960 horrific moment where she took people's lives. When I saw that, 0:24:10.040 --> 0:24:14.000 it's possible that she lost consciousness. Right, and again, there 0:24:14.000 --> 0:24:17.320 are black people that she killed. So folks can't say, oh, 0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:20.199 you don't care because it wasn't your people, and you know, 0:24:20.600 --> 0:24:25.280 I think the whole thing is terrible, horrific, awful, the 0:24:25.320 --> 0:24:28.600 worst thing. Oh my god. Right, But I'm looking at 0:24:28.640 --> 0:24:33.400 this woman in the court, this little you know, look 0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:37.000 like she could have been a sweet little lady. And 0:24:37.080 --> 0:24:40.959
