So a lot going on. 53 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 3: So a couple of weeks ago, we know that Mayor 54 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 3: Eric Adams threatened to revoke the Key to the city, 55 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 3: the key to New York City that he gave Diddy 56 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 3: back in two thousand and three. And according to TMZ 57 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 3: and news outlets, the key to the city has been returned. 58 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 3: So this was an honor that did he got and 59 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 3: Mark Eric Adams did not waste any time. 60 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,279 Speaker 4: He was very very clear that he was highly. 61 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 3: Disturbed by the video that we all saw and we've 62 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 3: talked about at length about Cassie Cassie bent Tour being 63 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 3: assaulted by Diddy. That footage came out and as soon 64 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 3: as the mayor saw it, he and the board that 65 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 3: actually talks about giving the key to the city to 66 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 3: people who have made extraordinary accomplishments, they decided to revoke it. 67 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 3: So we do know that Diddy actually got the key 68 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 3: to the city on September twenty seventh, back in two 69 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 3: thousand and three, and here we are less than a 70 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 3: year later it has been returned. Taz, I know, I know, 71 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 3: I know that. You know, you have a show on 72 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 3: Revolts do a lot of the work. You work with, 73 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 3: council consult for a lot of celebrities and a lot 74 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 3: of folks. Have you ever seen someone given honor or 75 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 3: distinction to a person and then right working in the 76 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 3: world of crisis communication, they start to get the rewards 77 00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 3: and accolades revokes And I just kind of wanted to 78 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 3: get your thoughts and your experience. 79 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 4: To learn that. 80 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: M M. 81 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, and we've saw it happen, and just 82 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: for a punt of clarity, you know, Didd he was 83 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 2: one of those individuals you know that I worked with. 84 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 2: I guess it was a twenty twenty two maybe no, 85 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 2: maybe around maybe twenty twenty one when he was wanting 86 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 2: to get more politically involved. But yeah, I mean we 87 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 2: saw a lot of that with Kanye. Typically we'll see contracts, 88 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: you know, giving back if we've seen people saying they 89 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 2: don't want to be a part of associate with the 90 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 2: brand anymore. 91 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: We saw a lot of that happen with Jonathan Major's member. 92 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 2: Everybody just instantly, overnight, you know, started yanking stuff back, 93 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 2: yanking affiliations back. I don't recall a key giving back, 94 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 2: but it's not to say that that has not happened. 95 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 2: But a key is a symbol. Obviously it's not a 96 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 2: real key, but it is a symbol of what you 97 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 2: have accomplished in New York. My personal opinion that though 98 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 2: it doesn't like everything that did he's done, as disgusting 99 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 2: as it is, it doesn't take away, you know, what 100 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 2: he has accomplished or what he's accomplished in New York. 101 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 2: But the key does symbolize that they basically have access 102 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 2: that they basically, you know, are an important you know, 103 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 2: an important person you know in that city. And I 104 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 2: just want to read the exact definition of it. It 105 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 2: says that the key it actually started in eighteen hundreds 106 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 2: and it is a direct symbol of the city's wish 107 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 2: that the guests feel free to come and go at will. 108 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: Now that was in the eighteen hundreds, obviously, there's no 109 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 2: literally no literary key, but it says that it is 110 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 2: a beloved symbol of civil recognition and gratitude reserve for 111 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,799 Speaker 2: individuals whose service to the public and the common good 112 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 2: rises to a high level of achievement. So obviously, by 113 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 2: watching that video, that obviously, you know, cancels out the 114 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 2: common good that rises to a high level. It doesn't 115 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 2: take away his civil recognition, you know, and what he's 116 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 2: done in that city and things that he's done, but 117 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 2: it's just not a good look, you know that. That's 118 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 2: just the bottom line. 119 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 4: And talk about dude. 120 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,799 Speaker 3: He had his honorary degree from Howard University revoked as well, 121 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 3: and so this revoking of the key of the City 122 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 3: of New York comes right after how Howard University not 123 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 3: only revoked his honorary degree, but they also like gave 124 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 3: back the money or they said that they're giving back 125 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 3: the money to the scholarship fund. 126 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 4: M hm. 127 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked about that too on Straight Shot and 128 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: Chase So Gold. 129 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 2: Guys, go back and listen to the episode if you 130 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 2: want to get dig into that a little bit more. 131 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 2: But yeah, it's definitely, uh, you know, just an unfortunate 132 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 2: thing for everybody involved. But Mayor Adams might have to 133 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: be given more back, not just the key, but the 134 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 2: literal key to his office. 135 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,559 Speaker 1: Remember, he got some that are coming up as well. 136 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: So I understand the move. I understand the pr move. 137 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: I get it. 138 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 2: I guess he quietly is literally not a key, you know, 139 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 2: but you know they had they had to do that. 140 00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: He needed to be honest with you. 141 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 2: I think he just needed to do something that kind 142 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 2: of shows him taking some high road on something because again, 143 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 2: he is under investigation as well. So a lot of times, 144 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 2: unfortunately guys, people will use your downfalls an opportunity to 145 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 2: uplift them. 146 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 3: You know. 147 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: I don't know. I believe that he's. 148 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 2: Disgusted by what he saw, for sure, but I also 149 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 2: just from a crisis calm standpoint, anytime I can grab 150 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 2: earned media and take something that makes my client look better, 151 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 2: even if it's at your demise, I can certainly see 152 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 2: you know how that move was made. I don't think 153 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,119 Speaker 2: if people would have never took the key back, nobody 154 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,239 Speaker 2: would have been saying you need to take the keyback, 155 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 2: because again it's no key. The same thing with Howard University, 156 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 2: nobody be saying you need to take back that honorary 157 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 2: degree because nobody, I mean no disrespect, but those of 158 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 2: us that got to go and earn our master's and 159 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 2: PhDs and juris doctrine, we just don't look at honorary 160 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 2: degrees as because they're not real degrees. It's just a 161 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 2: recognition that basically you wrote a check to the school basically, right, 162 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 2: or they think you are a high profile enough that 163 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 2: by associating with you would in turn maybe increase uh, 164 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 2: you know, funds or you know, people going to the school. 165 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 2: So I don't think nobody even would have said on Howard, hey, 166 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 2: you better get it, you know, get a honoraly degree back. 167 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 2: So I think it was just again another opportunity, you know, 168 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 2: to show doing good, especially because again Howard University the 169 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 2: last couple of years, it's not like they've just been 170 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 2: shining in the news as well. He was gonna say, right, oh. 171 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say, I think I think Mayor 172 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 3: Eric Adams would disagree with you. He he's saying that 173 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 3: people are hating on him because all the chocolate that 174 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 3: he got running the city.

So take a listen. 179 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 5: First Trendandaddy and to be a deputy mayor, first Dominican 180 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 5: to be a deputy mayor, first African American to be 181 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 5: the first deputy mayor per second Afritican American to be 182 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 5: the chief of staff. Why the first one was by 183 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 5: David Dinkins. When you look at our administration, first Indian 184 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 5: American to be a deputy mayor, first Philippino American to 185 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 5: be a deputy mayor, first Korean American that had small 186 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 5: business services. You look at our administration and you would 187 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 5: see for yourself. We got all of this chocolate running 188 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 5: the city and you're trying to figure out why. 189 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: They hating on me. 190 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 4: Yeah. 191 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 3: Mayor Adams is saying that people are literally hating on 192 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 3: him because he has elected many black officials in the 193 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 3: City of New York, and he was making subliminals. 194 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: In that clip. 195 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 3: We just heard about why people are hating on him, 196 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 3: you know, just mentioned that the allegations swimming against him. 197 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 3: And interestingly enough, in this clip, at this press conference, 198 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 3: there is state New York State Senator Parker standing behind 199 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 3: him and his name was also circulating in the news, 200 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 3: but the neither one of them have been convicted of anything. 201 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 3: But it definitely goes to show, you know that there's 202 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 3: there's a lot of stuff with our brothers happening. And 203 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 3: while Mayor Eric Adams did say that he was disgusted 204 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 3: by the clip of Casside and Diddy to your points, 205 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 3: as I think he probably should be worrying about the 206 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 3: investigations that he has to deal with. 207 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 2: He said our brothers, Well, some people will say that 208 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 2: he not one of our twitter ve brother like brothers 209 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,479 Speaker 2: just don't mean black some solidarity. 210 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 1: But you know, again that's for people to argue. 211 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 2: But remember he's been going on this, uh, this this 212 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 2: campaign tour of how they're coming after all the black mayors, 213 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 2: uh in regards to immigration, which is true. I mean 214 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 2: it is all black mayors if they've targeted to drop 215 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 2: these migrants in. But I think they would have done 216 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 2: that whether they again, nonetheless speak two things to be 217 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 2: true at the same time, they can certainly be I'm 218 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 2: definitely off it's a cap for them and say that 219 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 2: they're not. But I do know that Republicans willing to 220 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 2: do anything to prove a point about migrants. So if 221 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 2: it was, I think they were going to drop drop 222 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 2: them off regardless, you know. But I do agree that 223 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 2: it's sure is a coincidence that they all happen to 224 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 2: be black mayors. But I think Republicans really just wanted 225 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 2: to get on the books, that Republicans that Democrats have 226 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 2: to admit that there is a problem with immigration, which 227 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 2: they've been successful because Joe Biden once again signed executive 228 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 2: orders this week for the second time on immigration. He's 229 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 2: not waiting on Congress, he's not waiting on bi parties. 230 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 2: He waiting on everybody to get it together. He's not 231 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 2: doing all the things that people tell me I need 232 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 2: to wait on him to do. For the George Floyd. 233 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 2: He's moving forward. And a lot of it had to 234 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 2: do with them Republicans dropping off their migrants in those 235 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 2: major cities, New York being won. So we remember he's 236 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 2: been on this campaign tour. I'm a brother and they 237 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 2: coming after me, And I can understand some of that frustration, 238 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 2: not even with the migrant part, but just being Devil's advocate. 239 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 2: When he said, you know, I've only had the office 240 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 2: for two years. You guys want me to turn around 241 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 2: everything overnight, you know, and when he laid down a 242 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 2: lot of facts on what he's done. Now there's a 243 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 2: big disagreement with that. I can see some of his frustration, 244 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 2: you know, can lie based upon what he said. But 245 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 2: I also know those two sides of every story, and 246 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 2: I know there's some criticism with that. The only thing 247 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 2: that I've heard him say on record, when I'm gonna 248 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 2: say only thing, One of the things that I was 249 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 2: concerned with was him talking about, you know, people want 250 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 2: needing to be able to want to do that non. 251 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: Profit work for free. You know that's crazy as hell. 252 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: You know, Mayor Adams, Your Yeah, your consultants ain't working 253 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 1: for free. So you're saying that people just need to 254 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: do it because it's the right thing. Are you crazy 255 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: going to the prisons because the right thing? People still 256 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: have to work and earn money. 257 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 2: So I didn't like that, and people want to hear 258 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 2: what he said about that on Definitely go watch Drink Champs, 259 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 2: the episode with him and my son, because my sign 260 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 2: the general went until Freedom definitely challenged him on that, 261 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 2: and I thought that was a really good episode. So 262 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 2: go check that out if you're interested in hearing more 263 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 2: about Mayor Adams in that comment. 264 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 4: Thank you. 265 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 3: So that's all I have on the Diddy situation.

But she had some poems and it 316 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 3: was a lot of talking. 317 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 4: It was a lot of talking. 318 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 3: Listen, we are going to start seeing new Versus episodes 319 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 3: on X on Twitter. So, according to Hotnew hip Hop 320 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 3: dot Com, Swiss Beats and Timberland have agreed on a 321 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 3: deal to distribute Versus through Elon Musk's platform X formerly 322 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 3: known as Twitter. The two announced the move during an 323 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 3: activation in Knes, France on Wednesday. 324 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 4: So they are coming. They got this deal. 325 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 3: And what I saw when I learned about I saw 326 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 3: the headline. But when I saw Swiss Beach's Instagram of 327 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 3: like Elon Musk standing in the middle and there's Timberlane, 328 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 3: like the optics of that was kind. 329 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: Of read the caption. 330 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 2: Let's let's actually because I know he said somebody being 331 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 2: black owned once again, which is kind of confusing. So 332 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 2: let me read the caption. It says life begins at 333 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 2: the end of your comfort zone. It's a visual Versus's 334 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 2: back and one hundred percent black owned again, So I 335 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 2: guess I remember slightly, but I don't want to stole 336 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 2: misinformation out there, but I remember did they sell it 337 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 2: that they who won't? 338 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: I guess yes, who would else? 339 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 4: So I know that they cut a deal. 340 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 3: They could have deal with someone a different company, because 341 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 3: I know someone who actually worked on some of the 342 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 3: promos for Versus during the pandemic and after, like toward 343 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 3: the end of the pandemic or whatever, they sold some 344 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 3: parts of the company to a different company. So I 345 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 3: didn't I was not under the impression that it was 346 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 3: that it was fully black owned, but I would have 347 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 3: to do more research than that. I don't want to misspeak, 348 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 3: but I definitely know that they did cut another company 349 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 3: or entity into Versus at some point. 350 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: And that deal didn't work or something it fell through. 351 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 3: I'm not sure, but and I guess like the deal 352 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 3: that they have with Elon Musk is just it's just 353 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 3: like a distributor of it, but it's going to be 354 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 3: on his platform, So I'm not even sure what that 355 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 3: even it's going to look like. 356 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 4: Because I know that. 357 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,719 Speaker 3: X has started to transition into having more video, So 358 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 3: you can stream in a Twitter space and it can 359 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 3: just be audio, but now you can actually see people 360 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 3: broadcasting on YouTube and on to tell M, they just 361 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 3: started doing that recently, so. 362 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 4: I guess that's what the verses will look like. So 363 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 4: I'm not. 364 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 2: Sure specific pause right there, we're talking really fast. Hold on, 365 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 2: pause right there. Backup, they're doing it actually on the platform, 366 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 2: or are you talking about like when I just when 367 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 2: I use restream because like I can stream now, I 368 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 2: can stream now on YouTube and Twitter and all that. 369 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 1: So what do you mean by video? 370 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, so you can create a Twitter space now and 371 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 3: you can have the option to turn your camera on 372 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 3: while you're broadcasting on X. I keep saying Twitter, while 373 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 3: you're broadcasting on X. You set up your space, your 374 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 3: X space, and then you hit the camera button and 375 00:17:59,119 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 3: you can turn your camera. 376 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: How's they gonna work?

And it kept crashing yep, 407 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 2: So I'm wondering if it's gonna be able to handle it, 408 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 2: because they x ELI must have been known to put 409 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 2: this stuff out here and not be and not build handled. 410 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 2: So we're gonna see. So it's gonna be interesting to 411 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 2: see if if Twitter is gonna be just one of 412 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 2: their many ways, you know how they normally do. They 413 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 2: got it on versus? Are they gonna still do Instagram? 414 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 2: Will it just be on Twitter which is X Are 415 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 2: they still gonna show on all their and platforms? Look 416 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 2: through that article in real time and just see if 417 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 2: it says that, because when I looked out one double check, 418 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 2: I don't think it does say that. 419 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 4: They do have that. 420 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 3: Swiss Beasts and Timilar will with this deal, they will 421 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 3: maintain one hundred percent ownership and creative control of their 422 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 3: platform versus. 423 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 4: So just just to clear that up, Now, what do 424 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 4: we looking for? 425 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 2: Like, so I want you to be I'm going to 426 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 2: read the rest of what's on the Instagram post. Just 427 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 2: look through and see if they're saying they're going to 428 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 2: put it on x in addition to steal Instagram still 429 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 2: because remember they just didn't stream on Instagram. They would 430 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 2: have it on versus. They had it in different places. 431 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 2: So when they would say we got ten eight million streams. 432 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 2: That wasn't just from people watching on Instagram. So I'm 433 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 2: just wondering, is this exclusive with Twitter or not? So 434 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 2: while you're so why, sorry, it is exclusive. I'm seeing 435 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 2: it right here. It is exclusively going to be streamed 436 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 2: on as nowhere else. Oh wow, they just really gave him. 437 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 2: He just they just really gave Twitter a big So 438 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 2: this is why people are pissed off in the comments, 439 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 2: so many reasons. 440 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: Why let me continue what it says on here. It 441 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: says it's official. 442 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 2: I just said that Versus back on hundredsent Black owned again, 443 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 2: which is I guess what the big It's probably been 444 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 2: a couple of years since we haven't had a versus. 445 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 2: It said, let's give the people what they've been missing. 446 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 2: We were also be building new entertainment businesses on the 447 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 2: X platform, so I guess they're gonna be doing some 448 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 2: other stuff. And then they go into who should the 449 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 2: first kickoff be? Let's go and but whe nobody talking 450 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 2: about no kickoff in the comments. People kicked off dead 451 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 2: and they asked about why they are partnering with Elon Musk. 452 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 2: They said, oh, they kicked off, but not what they 453 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 2: was looking for a few of the celebrity celebrity friends 454 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 2: are doing emojis and high fire and all that. But 455 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 2: people ain't with this. They're not fans of Elon Musk. 456 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 2: They're not fans of comments he have made. They you know, 457 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 2: the straight up calling him a flat out racist. And 458 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 2: so this is just very very interesting. Let's look at 459 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 2: some of those comments. Pulls that up, Jay, just to 460 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 2: kind of let people know just a few comments of 461 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 2: what people are saying. And while you're looking that up, 462 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 2: I guess that just cancels me asking for the political verses. 463 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 2: You know, I've been asking for it forever. I've been saying, 464 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 2: let's do a political versus, let's have teams go against 465 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 2: each other, let's debate. But Elon Musk is known for 466 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 2: not liking a different opinion. Remember with Don Lemon maybe 467 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 2: a few months ago, Don Lemon was gonna do his 468 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 2: show on Twitter and it was gonna be exclusive with Twitter. 469 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,360 Speaker 2: But when Don Lemmon interviewed Elon Musk and challenged him 470 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 2: on his opinions, that whole deal stopped. So I am 471 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 2: with the assumption that maybe Elon Musk don't like a 472 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 2: bunch of different political opinions. He said he did because 473 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 2: that was his reason for bringing Tucker Carlson and all 474 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 2: these others he was supposed to. And I don't know 475 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,479 Speaker 2: if Tucker still has this show on Versus on Twitter 476 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 2: or ex but allegedly he was supposed to be all 477 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 2: about these different voices and politics. 478 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: But how it's been looking, he hain't really been with this. 479 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 2: So I guess that cancels me asking asking to do 480 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 2: it for the culture, and I don't know if that's 481 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 2: a platform that would be. 482 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: Best aligned with my brand. 483 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 2: So I really do want the Versus, and I wanted 484 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 2: a platform that could handle it and bring in the 485 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 2: type people that we need. 486 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: So I guess we'll see. 487 00:22:58,480 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 2: I want to throw it all the way after the 488 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 2: dream came out the window, but I think it'd be 489 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 2: really good. So read a couple of those comments Jade 490 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 2: on what people are saying in the comments. 491 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: Yep. 492 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,239 Speaker 3: One person said, the moment, I really understand that our 493 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 3: quote unquote faves are nothing more than tools of capitalism, 494 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 3: chosen to. 495 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 4: Sell us shit. 496 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 3: Their wealth is theirs.

Another person says unbelievably embarrassing. Another 501 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 3: one says, not you posting Elon on Juneteenth? When I said, 502 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 3: somebody else said posting with Elon Musk on Juneteenth is wild. 503 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 3: Another one said this is not it. Elon will never 504 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 3: be a good destination for us. And another person said, 505 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 3: with mister apartheid white supremacist Niga, please. 506 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 4: And yeah, they weren't. 507 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 3: Feeling it to your point. They were lightening him. They 508 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 3: were lighting up a smith's best and Timbland. I don't 509 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 3: think black folks really took kindly to this. 510 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,479 Speaker 1: But guess what, they still gonna watch it. 511 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 2: If the verses is tight enough, can we be honest 512 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 2: about it, they still gonna watch it. See, at some 513 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 2: point we gotta be willing to like, if we're gonna stand, 514 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 2: we gotta be willing to stand. And I just think 515 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 2: people still gonna watch it, to be honest with you, 516 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 2: if the verse, if the paris tight enough. 517 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: We ain't gotta worry about it being Diddy. 518 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 2: And remember it was supposed to be Diddy and JD 519 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 2: for a long time, so I guess that won't be 520 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 2: happening we can assume that that won't be happening. 521 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was gonna be. 522 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 2: That was supposed to be one of their biggest ones. 523 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 2: They went back and forth. One time, Diddy got on 524 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 2: Live with JD and they did like a little sample 525 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 2: on what it would look like, and it was gonna be. 526 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 2: Diddy was talking shit and it was really funny, like 527 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 2: it was gonna be really good. But I guess, you know, 528 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 2: we certainly that's certainly gonna be happening. So I don't know, 529 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 2: I think people gonna tune in. We love entertainment and 530 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 2: we love our artists, and it is what it is. 531 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 3: So I think it's really risky that they gave versus 532 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 3: if they're putting it exclusively on X listen. X has 533 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 3: lost so much money since Elon took over, and plus 534 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 3: he fired a whole bunch of people. I'm not sure 535 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 3: they've rolled out different tools in different features over the 536 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,919 Speaker 3: past year that I've experienced that like really weren't working well, 537 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 3: and you know, it took a lot of different updates, 538 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 3: and so I'm just wondering if if X and Elon 539 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 3: have the capacity to facilitate a whole bunch of people 540 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 3: coming onto the platform, given that they've downsized in numbers 541 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 3: and the platform I think has lost some value. 542 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 4: Over the year. So yeah, that's what's happening there with that. 543 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 2: What else, Oh, we'll just see how it all goes down. 544 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 2: We'll see if we'll see if versus can save Twitter 545 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 2: or x. I'm still called on Twitter. I just all 546 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 2: these different names, you know, but go ahead. 547 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 4: It's Twitter. Yeah. So some good news, some good news 548 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 4: for once. I really love this story. 549 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:57,199 Speaker 3: Speaking of Juneteenth, Miss ople Lee was the grandmother of 550 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 3: June teen. She's a fierce advocate. She advocated for Juneteenth 551 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 3: to become a federal holiday. She's a Texas native and 552 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 3: she got the keys to her childhood homeback after eighty 553 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 3: five years when a racist mob drove her family off 554 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 3: that family lot when she was twelve years old. So 555 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 3: this happened. This happened on a family home that was 556 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,360 Speaker 3: built in Fort Worth, Texas. It was on a lot 557 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 3: there where her family was forced by a racist mob. 558 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 3: It was like almost they described it as like the 559 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 3: whole town came to evictim off the property. So this 560 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 3: was a symbolic gesture that happened a few days before Juneteenth, 561 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 3: and it marked a significant moment in her lifelong efforts 562 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 3: for recognition of Juneteenth. She's ninety seven years old, and 563 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 3: this is really such a blessing test. And she received 564 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 3: the keys to her new home and she planned to 565 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 3: have like a huge I guess you could say Juneteenth 566 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,199 Speaker 3: do you believe there, which was really exciting. There were 567 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,439 Speaker 3: local organizations that collaborated to quickly build the house and 568 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 3: furnish it for her, and they did all of that 569 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 3: construction within three months. And she said she just con 570 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 3: intends to host as many open houses as possible to 571 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 3: connect with her new community neighbors. And this Juneteenth marks 572 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 3: the eighty fifth anniversary of that traumatic event in her life. 573 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 3: And yeah, imagine a mob of five hundred folks, five 574 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 3: hundred white people, racists, white supremacists come in and just 575 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 3: evicting your family off the land. 576 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 4: So that was a good story that I saw. 577 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 2: Mm hmm, a good thing we can post on that 578 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,959 Speaker 2: we can have some nice to everything and always doomsday. 579 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 4: Thank you, right exactly? That was like, that was good 580 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 4: all right? 581 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 3: Another story the abortion pill.

So 603 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 3: just to bring you all up to speed in case 604 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 3: you missed it, the Supreme Court unanimous ruling acknowledging that 605 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 3: anti abortioning doctors lacked legal standing to sue the FDA 606 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 3: over recent actions easing access for the pill, the abortion 607 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 3: pill call life, which, how do you pronounce the test? 608 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 3: My protozoan might yet my protozone Uh huh, my christal 609 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 3: zone is a key pill in the medication for abortion. 610 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 3: So despite this decision, the broader movement to restrict abortion 611 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 3: access STEFF still continues. There are three states that intend 612 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 3: to challenge the Supreme Court ruling that makes the abortion 613 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,719 Speaker 3: pill available. So we know that reproductive rights lawyers anticipate 614 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 3: efforts by abortion anti abortion activists or legislators to revive 615 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 3: a one hundred and fifty one year old federal law 616 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 3: that could be sending abortion pills through the mail. So 617 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 3: that's really interesting, right, They're going to try to make 618 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 3: sure that you are not able to order the pill 619 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 3: from Amazon or order it from you some company or 620 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 3: place out of state if that state itself says no 621 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 3: to this. Also, abortion access advocates fear that the potential 622 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 3: second Trump administration would reintroduce similar restricts the abortion measures. 623 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 4: So we'll see. 624 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 3: The Supreme Court ruling definitely addressed that specific the specific 625 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 3: legal standing. It does not impede ongoing efforts to limit 626 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 3: access to abortion services across various fronts. Idaho, Kansas, and 627 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 3: Missouris are the three states that have intervened in a 628 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 3: federal court case in Amarillo, Texas regarding abortion, and they 629 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 3: joined after the Supreme Court agreed to review the FDA's 630 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 3: appeal of the abortion pill access. So we guess that 631 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 3: we have to see if those three states are going 632 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 3: to be successful in challenging the Supreme Court's ruling. The abortion, 633 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 3: maternal health, reproductive rights conversation will continue. And again I 634 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 3: know tas you know you can weigh in on this. 635 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:51,719 Speaker 3: This is a highly, highly, highly polarizing topic this election cycle. 636 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 2: Mm hm you know no that, I mean, you hit 637 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 2: it right on the nail again, a highly It's a 638 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 2: big topic and I want people again, let's let's be 639 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 2: clear about who's voting what and who if they lose 640 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 2: and why they lose. And I'll talked about it on 641 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 2: the last episode. You guys, make sure you go listen. 642 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 2: But abortion, contrary to the internet's poper belief, this issue 643 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 2: is an issue that white women are very concerned about 644 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 2: and have went on the record. So when I know 645 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 2: there's this negative stereotype that black women are on the 646 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 2: one is concerned about having abortion. That's the damn lie. 647 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 2: According to the numbers and the stats. Let's just go 648 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 2: by the numbers and the SATs. The reason why the 649 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 2: mid terms last year did not happen the way they 650 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 2: thought it would is because white women went to the 651 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 2: polls and said, hey, including Republicans, not conservatives, won't y'all 652 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 2: know difference? Conservatives of pro life. Republicans are people that 653 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 2: you know, they like Republican business plans, but not necessarily 654 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 2: are not far right when it comes to ideology and 655 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 2: pro life being one. And those white women went and 656 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 2: snuck behind they white men's back and absolutely voted differently. 657 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 2: And again, if you look at any of the movements, 658 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 2: any of the marches, any of the pussycat had movements 659 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 2: that they did about it was a sea of white 660 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 2: women doing this. So again, when somebody asked me when 661 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 2: I was up, I did a local local hit hit 662 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 2: me as a segment television appearance a couple weeks ago, 663 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 2: and white guy, white judge on the way, I. 664 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: Said, you know, why why do black people like Trump? 665 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 2: You know, and we ain't done enough of black people 666 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 2: and we went through this, you know, he got a 667 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,479 Speaker 2: good air for with that one. But then also say 668 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 2: you need to be talking to your white daughter. You know, 669 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 2: they're the ones that voted for Trump when they after 670 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 2: they voted for Obama. So she was standing, I said, 671 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 2: talk to her. Don't talk to black people because we've 672 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 2: carried this country in our back four years. 673 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 1: So whether they win or lose, it ain't up to us. 674 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: This is about what white women are gonna do as 675 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: far as abortion is concerned. And so that's why they 676 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: have a problem. That's what what's gonna be who's gonna 677 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: make the difference in that swing voter. Swing voter again, 678 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: somebody had no problem voting for Trump, but this time 679 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,479 Speaker 1: they say, you know what I ain't with that abortion. 680 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: Y'all went to them and fire on their row versus way. 681 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 2: Democrat voters typically are going to vote pro choice every time, 682 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 2: and that includes black voters, who are ninety percent said 683 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 2: the actually people that actually vote doesn't mean that black 684 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 2: people are ninety percent liberal, because actually black people are 685 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 2: very much so majority moderate and even conservative in values. 686 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 1: But the people that actually go to the. 687 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 2: Polls, not the ones that say they sitting home. The 688 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 2: ones that actually go to the polls those are the 689 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 2: ones that are counted. Those are the ones that get 690 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 2: the money. Those are the ones that they're always trying 691 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 2: to convince the people at home they're happy, please sit 692 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 2: at home, get out the way. That's how they think. 693 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 2: So the ones that actually go to the polls vote 694 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 2: ninety percent back. Now, if black people want to start 695 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 2: making some noise and they start doing like this Hispanic 696 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 2: community and actually go to the polls and vote for 697 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 2: a Republican not Trump, I'm just saying on the state, 698 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 2: the local level, and actually go vote Republican and show 699 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 2: where our numbers are fifty to fifty that we can 700 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 2: go either or then we become a swing demographic. 701 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 1: Now they start spending money to get us. 702 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 2: Now they start telling us lies, a little bit more lies, 703 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 2: but actually having to deliver on them like they do 704 00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 2: for this Spanic community. So until we get more strtig 705 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 2: like that and understand that the couch is not the wind, 706 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 2: but putting another candidate up is the win. That's where 707 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 2: you get the leverage. But hey, what do I know, 708 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,919 Speaker 2: jay I just keep saying the same thing every chance 709 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 2: I get. So that's what's gonna happen. On abortion. Take 710 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 2: us through a couple of more things than they were 711 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 2: going to go ahead and wrap up. I won't think 712 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 2: you want the people to know about before we get 713 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 2: out of here. Time one by so fast today, I know, listen, 714 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 2: but I say. 715 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:33,800 Speaker 1: So, can I be Patty? 716 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 2: Can I go back a little bit on this I 717 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 2: was looking at I just saw this pop up. You know, 718 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 2: Roland Martin is on X which is Elon, and you know, 719 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 2: I don't normally talk about commentation, but I just want 720 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 2: to see what he said. 721 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 1: He said geez. 722 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 2: Timberlind and the Real Swiss Beats announced on June tenth 723 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 2: that they are teaming up with Elon Musk to distributed 724 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 2: versus online on this app. Elon is the man who 725 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 2: opening promotes accounts that degenerates black people. He attacks the 726 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 2: black doctors and pilots. But it's just interesting that he's 727 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 2: actually saying it on the app. So until I guess 728 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 2: we still understand why it need to be said, because 729 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 2: the conversation is there, like you still have to engage 730 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 2: in these other places. I get it, but I also 731 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,359 Speaker 2: just want to make it known that you're still on 732 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,800 Speaker 2: the app and the engagement still helps them. So just 733 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,320 Speaker 2: just just one last point with that that they're talking about. 734 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 4: Okay, gotcha. I thought you want to say something else. 735 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 3: I saw Roland Martin shout out to Roland Martin's he's 736 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:26,800 Speaker 3: he's in a DMV. 737 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 4: He's definitely down here. I saw a picture of him 738 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 4: the other day. He has it. 739 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 3: He had a shirt on that says vote like a 740 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 3: black woman. It says vote like a black woman, implying 741 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 3: that you know, just go ahead and vote Democrat down ballot. 742 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 3: And that post pissed a lot of people off. A 743 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 3: lot of people probably didn't see it because he will 744 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 3: block you, Roland Martin will block your ass on Twitter quick. 745 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 3: But yeah, I thought that as well. All Right, this 746 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 3: is another story, final story. I came up with tests 747 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,319 Speaker 3: and I picked it because you're always talking about how 748 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,439 Speaker 3: the importance of local government and how governor are. 749 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 4: Extremely, extremely extremely powerful. 750 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,839 Speaker 3: Maryland Governor Wes Moore he issued pardons for more than 751 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:11,840 Speaker 3: one hundred and seventy five thousand marijuana convictions. This is 752 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,360 Speaker 3: absolutely huge. A lot of folks down here are talking 753 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:18,320 Speaker 3: about it. The pardons will target low level marijuana possession 754 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:23,359 Speaker 3: and paraphernalia charges, benefiting approximately one hundred thousand individuals. This 755 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 3: act of mass clemency reflects shifting public attitudes towards marijuana legislation. 756 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 3: Maryland Governor Wes Moore described his executive order as the 757 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 3: quote most sweeping state level parton quote in US history. 758 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:41,320 Speaker 3: The pardons announced to coincide with Juneteenth, and it aimed 759 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 3: to address the disproportionate impact on black and brown communities. 760 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,399 Speaker 3: So I want to pause there, but I do want 761 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 3: to say that I remember when wes Moore, Governor Wes 762 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 3: Moore was elected, when he won the election, and people, 763 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 3: a lot of black folks that I know, we're saying that, 764 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 3: oh he was you know, he was unfit. He's a Democrat. 765 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,800 Speaker 3: He's going to be a democratic, X Y and Z 766 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 3: X me he's a Democrat. 767 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:03,840 Speaker 1: Like what are y'all talking about. He's a Democrat like 768 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: them to be Democrats. But go ahead. 769 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, there was calling this man of shield. They were 770 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 3: saying that he was a part of the boulet. They 771 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 3: were saying all these discouraging things about why he should 772 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 3: not have been elected, you know, as a black person 773 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,359 Speaker 3: that expected him to do something I guess terrible. But 774 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 3: I really love the fact that he parted over one 775 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 3: hundred and seventy five thousand marijuana convictions. That's going to 776 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,360 Speaker 3: impact approximately one hundred thousand people down here. 777 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,879 Speaker 2: That is what They're just gonna move the gold posts, Jay, 778 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 2: Those same people are going to say what it don't 779 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 2: mean to win in all criminals, so you'll never win 780 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 2: up again. The demograph you're talking about, they don't like 781 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,000 Speaker 2: liberals and they just need to say it. That's where 782 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 2: people get frustrated with the group that you're talking about. 783 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,919 Speaker 2: They just need to go ahead and say it. I'm 784 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:50,480 Speaker 2: a black conservative, period, Just say it. Stop moving the 785 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,880 Speaker 2: gold post. You know, because Democrats are Democrats that I 786 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 2: expect them to vote, eat, look, talk, move, Walt speak 787 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:02,319 Speaker 2: like a Democrat, regardless of the color. When you run 788 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 2: as a Democrat, you're subscribing to the Democrat policy. So 789 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 2: what the hell are we talking about? And then when 790 00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 2: they do do something positive, it's never acknowledged. I try 791 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 2: to be fair and acknowledged on things I care about. 792 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 2: A criminal justice reform, so regardless if it's this or 793 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 2: if it was the first step back the Trump pushed, 794 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 2: support it. 795 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 1: I support either or. But we're not the people that 796 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: you're talking about. 797 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 2: They're not interested in policy, they're interested in Democrat versus Republican. 798 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 2: But they don't want to say they're Republican. That's just 799 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 2: the bottom line. And they need to just go ahead 800 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:32,360 Speaker 2: and say it. Just go ahead and say it and 801 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,439 Speaker 2: start a new movement and take over the Conservative Party. 802 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 3: So they can go ahead and do that. But I 803 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,759 Speaker 3: wanted to shout out Governor Wes Moore for this. I 804 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 3: think this is really great. These are the types of 805 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 3: folks that we need to be getting in office that's 806 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:48,600 Speaker 3: going to push these type of policies that are going 807 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 3: to address disparities within the criminal justice system and stuff. 808 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:57,400 Speaker 3: So just to break down their numbers a little bit more, again, 809 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,120 Speaker 3: the Order parties over one hundred and fifty thousand and 810 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 3: misdemeanor convictions for simple cannabis possession and eighteen thousand convictions 811 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,319 Speaker 3: for drug paraphernalia, and approximately twenty five percent of these 812 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 3: convictions are from Baltimore, underscoring the city's a significant impact, right. 813 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:18,719 Speaker 1: And so the Washington Post, no, I was just gonna 814 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: say finish, yeah. 815 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 3: Just also, the Washington Post is the first one, the 816 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:27,200 Speaker 3: first entity or outlet that reported on this story, and 817 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 3: just really quickly at assigning at the signing event that 818 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 3: Governor Wesmore did for this legislation. He said, quote, this 819 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,399 Speaker 3: is about changing how both government and society view those 820 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,280 Speaker 3: who have been walled off from opportunity because of broken 821 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,320 Speaker 3: and uneven policies end quote. 822 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,960 Speaker 2: This also shows importance again of governor state level. So 823 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 2: shut out to them, shut out to liberal ass Governor Newsom, 824 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,360 Speaker 2: it's a lot that a lot of people don't like 825 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 2: what he's done. But when it's come to criminal justice, 826 00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 2: before the Homies that's been in the thirty forty years, 827 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 2: they had gun enhancement, a gang enhancement case, already did 828 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 2: their time for the crime, but had double the time 829 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 2: because of an affiliation with a gang, which is pretty 830 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 2: much everybody in everybody in LA. I'm telling you the 831 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,440 Speaker 2: Homies is they're doing camp. They ready to get on 832 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:15,399 Speaker 2: campaign trail right now. 833 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:15,799 Speaker 1: To make sure. 834 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 2: Governor Newsom has stated were talking about people that had 835 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 2: forty year plus sentences Jay that has did their time 836 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 2: like twenty years, but got an extra time. 837 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,240 Speaker 1: So again, this is why governors matter. 838 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,880 Speaker 2: So if you don't care about Biden and Trump, I 839 00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:29,799 Speaker 2: don't either, but at least pay attention to what your 840 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,920 Speaker 2: state is doing and what your governor's doing and This 841 00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 2: should be the thing that should be plastered all over 842 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 2: the shade room in Hollywood, Unlock and all these blogs. 843 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 2: People should know about this. They should be putting West 844 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 2: I guess on the campaign trail. But then again, maybe 845 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,359 Speaker 2: not because Biden got to speak for himself. So shout 846 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 2: out to wes On that I'm definitely gonna post it. 847 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 2: I didn't post it, miss it missed me till you 848 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 2: brought us.

They say he the next Obama. 851 00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,000 Speaker 2: They always called me the next Obama. But to be 852 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 2: honest with you, I think they'll folks can't see me, 853 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,919 Speaker 2: but I did air quotes. The Obama era is over. 854 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 2: If you if politics is about finding the next the 855 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,319 Speaker 2: black Trump, who's gonna be the gangst on our end? 856 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 2: That's gonna push the line no matter what, like straight up, 857 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,120 Speaker 2: some of them are successful. 858 00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:15,920 Speaker 1: But speaking of Maryland when I'm mayor. 859 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,839 Speaker 2: Of but speaking of DC, mayor of Marion Barry, they 860 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 2: couldn't get rid of him for nothing because he took 861 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 2: care of his people. So shout out to him, shout 862 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,279 Speaker 2: out to rest and peace. Shut out to Eric Mays, 863 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 2: rest in peace. You can be against as long as 864 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 2: you're taking care of your people. So the Obama era 865 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 2: is over with. So I don't know if that'll be wes, 866 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:34,640 Speaker 2: but shut out to him with that, and thank you 867 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,600 Speaker 2: for you know, bringing that to his attention. I know 868 00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,040 Speaker 2: you're not allowed to say anything positive about a Democrat 869 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,760 Speaker 2: because you're in the conscious community, but I think it's. 870 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,160 Speaker 4: You gotta shift that narrative. 871 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 3: And it's the final point that I wanted to bring up, 872 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,359 Speaker 3: and I think this is important test it. It's been 873 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:53,760 Speaker 3: almost two years after Maryland voters approved a constitutional amendment 874 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 3: legalizing recreational marijuana for people twenty one and older. So, 875 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 3: you know, again people into the post. Maryland voters improved 876 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:06,239 Speaker 3: the constitutional amendment to legalize marijuana recreation marijuana use. So 877 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,759 Speaker 3: now we're seeing the governor come after that, after you know, 878 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:11,960 Speaker 3: two years later, to. 879 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 1: Parton all of those people. And I think it's great. 880 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,360 Speaker 3: So as states are moving towards, you know, legalizing or 881 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:23,640 Speaker 3: decriminalizing recreational marijuana, we should really be putting the press 882 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:27,400 Speaker 3: on these elected officials, these governors in particular to pardon 883 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 3: those who have been. 884 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:33,560 Speaker 2: Yeah to follow that. And again you mentioned two years. Again, 885 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,200 Speaker 2: it takes time to do things. It just so people 886 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,839 Speaker 2: know it takes time to do things. But as an 887 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:40,960 Speaker 2: elected official, you don't have a lot of time. You 888 00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 2: got four years, so you better make sure you pop 889 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:43,920 Speaker 2: as soon as you get in there. At least let 890 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:45,440 Speaker 2: people know what you're trying to do until you get 891 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 2: it done. And when you get it done, make sure 892 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 2: everybody hear it everywhere because you just cannot afford to 893 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,040 Speaker 2: lose that voter.

Very 1056 00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,920 Speaker 2: excited and be honest, I thought everything was kind of 1057 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,959 Speaker 2: over it. I thought Diddy's actions kind of ruined it all. 1058 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,520 Speaker 2: So that's not the case. That is what I know 1059 00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,640 Speaker 2: so far. The employees go back and listen to that episode. 1060 00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:13,839 Speaker 2: The employees now have ownership of the company. That is 1061 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:17,160 Speaker 2: just awesome, and they have just done a phenomenal job 1062 00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:22,319 Speaker 2: of not losing the work that's been put into that 1063 00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,720 Speaker 2: network that literally could have been lost overnight. 1064 00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:26,960 Speaker 1: Some people did get laid off, they did have to 1065 00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:27,439 Speaker 1: cut back. 1066 00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:31,480 Speaker 2: It hasn't been all good, but they have really had 1067 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,920 Speaker 2: to restructure everything in six to seven eight months. And 1068 00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,040 Speaker 2: I'm sure there'll become a time where maybe they'll be 1069 00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,240 Speaker 2: an interview about that, you know, like on what happened, 1070 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:40,640 Speaker 2: But now it's not the time. 1071 00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:42,480 Speaker 1: Now they just have their head down and trying to 1072 00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:42,960 Speaker 1: make it work. 1073 00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,440 Speaker 2: So I'm excited about that because that was just deeply, 1074 00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:52,120 Speaker 2: deeply depressing, really depressing to put so much work into 1075 00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:55,839 Speaker 2: something that's been one of my most proudest things to do. 1076 00:50:56,840 --> 00:51:00,400 Speaker 2: Because we don't have black owned networks and I was 1077 00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:02,480 Speaker 2: a part of B and C and that went bankrupt, 1078 00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:06,640 Speaker 2: and then to have what happened with Revolt again knocking doning, 1079 00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:08,960 Speaker 2: nothing did, he said, I'm just saying, bottom line, you know, 1080 00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:14,279 Speaker 2: the indirect consequence was that a black owned network was 1081 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,680 Speaker 2: about to be in peril, if not in peril, and 1082 00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:19,840 Speaker 2: that I just had to take a break. 1083 00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:21,719 Speaker 1: It was too many losses, back to back to back 1084 00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:22,080 Speaker 1: to back. 1085 00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,640 Speaker 2: You know, a lot of people don't watch Revolt, A 1086 00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:26,279 Speaker 2: lot of people don't take time to do it.
