Speaker 1: You don't want to, don't ask your question.
Speaker 2: Real good, let's just keep it real. Straight Shot with
Speaker 2: no Chaser. I'm gonna get a little bit rougher. I'm
Speaker 2: here for it. Those who really believed in the American process,
Speaker 2: all of us. Street Shot, No Chase with your girl,
Speaker 2: Testlim Figure out on the Black Effect podcasting that Wedsday one.
Speaker 2: What's happening? Everybody's this Teslim Figure, straight Shot, no Chase,
Speaker 2: Server with Jada Real. We are back, We are back.
Speaker 2: A lot has been going on. I don't even know
Speaker 2: where to star Jade. It's been so much I think
Speaker 2: since the last time the family heard from us. Joe
Speaker 2: Biden got off. Well, she's not tending to yet definitely
Speaker 2: hasn't become the nominee. But stuff is just moving so
Speaker 2: so so fast. Guys, I've been all over the place.
Speaker 2: You will always get a drop from me every Thursday.
Speaker 2: We've been trying to do two shows a week, Tuesday
Speaker 2: and Thursday. We missed Tuesday this week just because the
Speaker 2: the the the media or the now I want to
Speaker 2: say the media. Uh, the news cycle has been going
Speaker 2: so fast and all the other things you know that
Speaker 2: we're trying to do as well, Uh, it just got
Speaker 2: away from it. I don't know no other way to
Speaker 2: say it. James's gonna keep it real. I just just
Speaker 2: tried to do it all. I had a movie that
Speaker 2: I did Friday in New York. Shout out to Little Steven.
Speaker 2: Make sure you go listen to that episode. I'm so
Speaker 2: excited Jade about black film, about moving forward. Shout out
Speaker 2: to Jay for helping me with my lines. Jake, do
Speaker 2: everything y'all you do producing, executive producing, segment producing, research management. Uh,
Speaker 2: acting coach like she do it all.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I like, he says, because you never know
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do, which is fun. And even when
Speaker 1: we're doing something on the fly, she's like she wants excellent.
Speaker 1: So when we started with the line, she was like,
Speaker 1: come on, Jay Le, we need you to get into
Speaker 1: your acting mode.
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, and I knew my lines. My same
Speaker 2: partner did not, So I felt good about that because
Speaker 2: I didn't think because you know, I was on the
Speaker 2: plane and I was like, dang, Jade, I should have
Speaker 2: downloaded the video of you and I so I could
Speaker 2: because it just made it easier. I was trying to
Speaker 2: figure out the best way to memorize it. And what
Speaker 2: I learned is watching that video helped because it allowed
Speaker 2: me to stop and save my part before I said
Speaker 2: my part, opposed to just reading it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I said, I'm holding you to a standard
Speaker 1: as well. We don't want no bloopers.
Speaker 2: So I'm glad, right right, right, So I'm excited and god,
Speaker 2: so you know, like, oh, man, tell something after all
Speaker 2: of a sudden. No, the goal behind this, I think
Speaker 2: everybody one point is probably acting. You know, I wrote
Speaker 2: the plays seventh grade, Save the Children, sold Out, whatever.
Speaker 2: I've done that my whole life. But my goal is
Speaker 2: not oh yeah, I want to be some actress. So
Speaker 2: did you guys know the bigger plan? I have a
Speaker 2: book called Kitty's Letter that I wrote in twenty fifteen.
Speaker 2: It's dated, but it's not dated. I wrote that and
Speaker 2: then Gang Banging the Politics a fiction book date and
Speaker 2: it's a lot of the stuff that you saw happen
Speaker 2: in real time, but I talked about it well before
Speaker 2: it happened. So the sex, the drama, what you're seeing
Speaker 2: happen with Trump in real time, the mafia like moves,
Speaker 2: all of that. I wrote that in my fiction book.
Speaker 2: And so I want to bring that to film. I've
Speaker 2: always wanted to bring it to film, but at the time,
Speaker 2: there was no to b you know, twenty fifteen wasn't
Speaker 2: that long ago, but nobody knew what. Nobody was talking
Speaker 2: about TWOV at that time. I didn't even know. I
Speaker 2: didn't even imagine having an independent film or independent series.
Speaker 2: I just wrote the book and was like, maybe I
Speaker 2: can pitch it to somebody through one of my networks.
Speaker 2: And so throughout the year's date, I've always just kind
Speaker 2: of wanted to pitch it and well, maybe if I,
Speaker 2: you know, you said, maybe I give with fifty cent
Speaker 2: one day and I could pitch it on. And I
Speaker 2: have talked to a few people who, you know, I
Speaker 2: Ben Crump is very close to Tyler period Tyler Perry
Speaker 2: doesn't like things getting pitched to him and all that.
Speaker 2: So it's always like, you gotta wait on the right time.
Speaker 2: So then two becomes out of nowhere, and I'm looking
Speaker 2: at people that I know that are funding their projects independently,
Speaker 2: you know, putting twenty thirty forty fifty thousand, seventy thousand
Speaker 2: and actually doing a decent film. Now I know people
Speaker 2: talk about to Be and the Bloopers and all that.
Speaker 2: But guys, I really encourage you, like to really go
Speaker 2: watch like some of some of their series, like The
Speaker 2: Dirty d for example, but some really really good series.
Speaker 2: They're actually really good that are very popular, and they're
Speaker 2: not just bloopers and jokes and games. And I also
Speaker 2: want people to know that it's not just bloopers and
Speaker 2: like it really is people like putting their money into
Speaker 2: a project and a lot of people that may not
Speaker 2: have the experience for Hollywood and trying to figure it out,
Speaker 2: or that may not have the budget. A lot of
Speaker 2: it comes down the budget too, like for example. And
Speaker 2: so so let me kind of speed up. I know
Speaker 2: the show what aboutis people probably interested in now that
Speaker 2: I'm talking about it. So in order to bring my
Speaker 2: film to the screen, I am one, as you should
Speaker 2: know by now if you follow me, I like to
Speaker 2: know what I'm doing based on doing it. I'm like
Speaker 2: that in politics, I'm like that in rapping. I'm like
Speaker 2: that in singing. I'm like that in acting. If you
Speaker 2: ain't up being in the studio, like it's important to know,
Speaker 2: like you have some experience. It doesn't have to be
Speaker 2: a lot, but you have a taste of it. I
Speaker 2: don't like people talking about well, I'm political cambait of
Speaker 2: and you ain't never knocked on a door. It hits
Speaker 2: different when you're knocking on doors. Shout out to Michelle,
Speaker 2: a colleague, Michelle in front of her office. She's knocking
Speaker 2: on She's knocked on three thousand doors in thirty days.
Speaker 2: It's a different perspective. She lost twenty some pounds in
Speaker 2: the heat and the rain. It hit different when you
Speaker 2: knock on those doors. So that's the first reason. Second
Speaker 2: reason is Jay is you want to make sure that
Speaker 2: before you invest your money in anything, you have an idea.
Speaker 2: You don't ever want to just turn over fifty thousand
Speaker 2: or one hundred thousand of heart earn money or money
Speaker 2: that you got a loan and not know what the
Speaker 2: hell people are doing with it. Right, You don't want
Speaker 2: to just say you don't want you don't want to
Speaker 2: just give somebody your money and not know. And there
Speaker 2: could be the smallest thing that you not know. You
Speaker 2: know that by being on the set you would have known.
Speaker 2: So for example, I'm gonna give you that software. I
Speaker 2: was like, ooh, Jay would love this. I've done two movies,
Speaker 2: so the one that I did in Atlanta. You know
Speaker 2: they just eat sent me a text, hey be here
Speaker 2: at this time. This one that I did, they had
Speaker 2: a software and you know I love confirmations, and so
Speaker 2: this software sent the call time. It's a studio software.
Speaker 2: It sent the call time, It's sent the temperature, the weather.
Speaker 2: You know this what you need to have, da da
Speaker 2: da da. And then it allows you to confirm that
Speaker 2: you received the call sheet. Really love that, you know
Speaker 2: how I'm always like send an email confirmed received, got it.
Speaker 2: So this particular software you click it in and says
Speaker 2: confirm and it has the day and time that you
Speaker 2: are aware that you need to be here at this time.
Speaker 2: So those types of things I even look at that like, man,
Speaker 2: this is great forect managing on other things. So I
Speaker 2: learned that, or little things like where people be laughing.
Speaker 2: You may not know. So when I did my scene,
Speaker 2: you I'm used to doing live TV, so I'm talking
Speaker 2: like a real dialogue. Me having this slow down so
Speaker 2: I'm not jumping over the lines, you know, learning that
Speaker 2: which I want to work with the acting coach to
Speaker 2: learn more about that. But then also where my hand
Speaker 2: was on the glass. We did the scene three different ways,
Speaker 2: so you had a distance. You had my close up,
Speaker 2: his close up my hand. I don't know where my hand,
Speaker 2: my hand on the glass may not be. Remember did
Speaker 2: you see that meme or that video ray J's hat
Speaker 2: that kept moving? No, okay, it's hilarious. It's a video
Speaker 2: of him talking and his hat was like on various
Speaker 2: sides of his head. Well, what happens sometimes when you're
Speaker 2: watching those movies, especially if it's a low budget and
Speaker 2: they don't have a lot of time to do scenes
Speaker 2: four and five times, or you may not have an
Speaker 2: extra person on there that saying wait a minute, her
Speaker 2: hand was right by the you know, the stem or
Speaker 2: was right by the bottom R is right by. So
Speaker 2: I might be talking and they may edit something together
Speaker 2: and one minute not that people can see me, but
Speaker 2: one minute in my hand is here, and the next
Speaker 2: minute it is here, The next minute is here. You know,
Speaker 2: so people can't see me out but I'm going I'm
Speaker 2: showing like your hand can be up at the top
Speaker 2: or in the middle. Or maybe I'm talking with the
Speaker 2: glass in one moment and the next I'm not talking
Speaker 2: with the glass. So little things like that that you
Speaker 2: just don't know unless you're on set, right, So when
Speaker 2: I'm spending my money. Those are things that I want
Speaker 2: to know because I plan on being on the set
Speaker 2: directing all of that, and I want my I want
Speaker 2: to know that I got a team there that's knowing
Speaker 2: what to watch, because nobody cough that with me until
Speaker 2: the end till he told me. So those little things,
Speaker 2: little things like my screen part of my scene, part
Speaker 2: of his collar was in and we couldn't remember if
Speaker 2: it was in or was it out. He had on
Speaker 2: a sweater, you know, so you can be watching like,
Speaker 2: damn his collar was out. Damn his collar was in.
Speaker 2: But once you put the movie, you don't have a
Speaker 2: lot of time because you're paying people. By today, these
Speaker 2: are not big Hollywood budgets, So those small little things
Speaker 2: can make a difference. And then when it's edited and
Speaker 2: put together, put together, yeah, it's big fun jokes to
Speaker 2: people on the other side. But I want the story
Speaker 2: also j to be told that, no, this was a
Speaker 2: black man that put fifty thousand dollars in his project.
Speaker 2: You know, one hundred thousand dollars project employed forty fifty
Speaker 2: people on the set. You know, people who have backgrounds
Speaker 2: that could never you know, don't have jobs giving people opportunities.
Speaker 2: That story has to be told. It can't just be
Speaker 2: the jokes and the funny. So three things that I
Speaker 2: want to accomplish. One, get my story. Get Kitty's Litter
Speaker 2: my fiction book, because it's a dope ass series, it
Speaker 2: really is. Two, I want the story to be told
Speaker 2: behind the impact that two B has brought. Two B
Speaker 2: has more streams, more viewers than any of these paid platforms.
Speaker 2: Amazon really. Yeah, people google and look it up. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they hit it, was an article about it, came out
Speaker 2: about it a maybe last month. And those are black viewers.
Speaker 2: We are literally making to be and that's what they do.
Speaker 2: They bring us in to build it up and then
Speaker 2: they take away. They don't pay us as much and
Speaker 2: all of that. And then three, there's a policy conversation
Speaker 2: I want to have meaning that impact. What is that
Speaker 2: supposed to look like for a city of Detroit that
Speaker 2: has put out probably now close to five hundred movies,
Speaker 2: What does that look like to Atlanta? How are those
Speaker 2: things recognized? Should there be grant funding to keep these
Speaker 2: things going? So there's a lot of things that I'm
Speaker 2: doing with this movie thing, having fun with the acting,
Speaker 2: but I do want people to know it's not. Everything
Speaker 2: that I do is connected somehow, you know, to a
Speaker 2: larger picture. And storytelling is very much it's very important
Speaker 2: to what we do in politics. It's everything about politics
Speaker 2: is somebody's story. So that's powerful. And then you know,
Speaker 2: I don't always want to be just on the front
Speaker 2: of the camera all the time. I enjoy I really
Speaker 2: want to, you know, when you're able to that could
Speaker 2: to produce, fund the project, direct, get behind the scenes.
Speaker 2: You also want to transition, you know, where are other
Speaker 2: areas you can be in. And two because so many
Speaker 2: things that I do are connected to entertainment and entertainers
Speaker 2: people need something to be entertained. So that's also another
Speaker 2: way of getting people to tap in to what I'm
Speaker 2: doing on the on the larger scale. So thank you
Speaker 2: for bearing with me to kind of go through that.
Speaker 2: But I just want people to know that it's not
Speaker 2: just something. But if I was just want to be
Speaker 2: an actress, so what, But that's that's not what it is.
Speaker 2: It's really a bigger picture. And I got my next
Speaker 2: film in October. Yeah, I'm gonna get killed in this one,
Speaker 2: so so this would be pretty fun. So it's a
Speaker 2: little bit longer each time. It's getting a little bit
Speaker 2: longer than what it was last time. So the first
Speaker 2: time it was just myself as a reporter, I played myself.
Speaker 2: The second time, you know, that was about ten minutes,
Speaker 2: and now this one a little bit longer. So I'm
Speaker 2: excited about that and we'll see where that goes. So
Speaker 2: I did that, and then Sunday we had the Sonya
Speaker 2: macy rally. We're gonna talk about that in a second.
Speaker 2: But with the traveling and being all everywhere, we just
Speaker 2: the bottom line, we just didn't get a Tuesday episode.
Speaker 2: So definitely my apologies for that. But let's just kind
Speaker 2: of recap Jay just quickly just throw some stuff out
Speaker 2: there on what's happened in the last week. We know
Speaker 2: there was a lot of Uh, it's happened so fast?
Speaker 2: Has VPA? Has there been two weeks? So one week?
Speaker 1: I believe it's been just over one week, so.
Speaker 2: This is going into the second week.
Speaker 1: Yes, And within that one week, VP Harris has raised
Speaker 1: over was there over two hundred million dollars for her campaign.
Speaker 1: So everybody from gays for Kamala, white women for Kamala,
Speaker 1: white dudes for Kamala. Uh they yep, Indians yep. But
Speaker 1: let's let's be clear. The Black women for Kamala they
Speaker 1: kicked it off, and then the Black men for Kamala
Speaker 1: Harrison when in So they've been raising a lot of
Speaker 1: money and that has been really remarkable to see. Just
Speaker 1: on that White Dudes for Harris they had their call
Speaker 1: last night. There were several white celebrities on the call.
Speaker 1: The actual organizing page for White Dudes for Harris was
Speaker 1: taking down test on it.
Speaker 2: Let's first, let's first give some sets. One hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty thousand people were on their car and again not
Speaker 2: everybody there was white because I was listening, So, but
Speaker 2: you know, we want to get a numbers. One hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty thousand people on their call. They raised four
Speaker 2: million dollars. Yeah, we already had a lot of pre
Speaker 2: donations before they already started over a million start now
Speaker 2: because once they put it out there, they had the
Speaker 2: donation button out there. I was labing because I was
Speaker 2: looking at all the names, because I liked the way
Speaker 2: they had the ticker of the names going across going
Speaker 2: across the stage, and so when I was looking at
Speaker 2: Ryan and Bread and I just thought that was really funny.
Speaker 2: So I was like oh yeah, they're doing the name.
Speaker 2: So it was very interesting to watch, and I also
Speaker 2: was I was very interested in seeing like what language
Speaker 2: they were gonna use and how careful they would be.
Speaker 2: And so they did. Started out right out the gates saying,
Speaker 2: we know we're white men, and we know that historically,
Speaker 2: you know, basically saying when you see white men organizing,
Speaker 2: it's usually with pointy hats on, and that ain't what
Speaker 2: we're trying to do, and we're just trying to help
Speaker 2: and listen. They came very humble. They even started out
Speaker 2: with a black guy talking, which I thought was kind
Speaker 2: of weird. I'd rather I want to hear what white
Speaker 2: men had to say. But I guess that was their
Speaker 2: way of, you know, saying, we're in the listening. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I know that too.
Speaker 1: That brother, I'll put his name up in just a moment,
Speaker 1: but he is actually the head of the Working Families Party.
Speaker 2: They but they still got a white dude that worked.
Speaker 2: They shouldn't let the white dude do it, in my opinion,
Speaker 2: because even in our spaces when we do our stuff,
Speaker 2: we don't want white people coming in hospital, Like if
Speaker 2: we're seeing black men and black women, you don't have
Speaker 2: to stoppen the blow to have the black men, let's
Speaker 2: hear what the white guy has to say. You know,
Speaker 2: black guy did acknowledge saying, hey, I'm a black dude
Speaker 2: and I'm doing but I just I don't know. They
Speaker 2: probably just did that just rather be safe than sorry.
Speaker 2: But it's okay. Stand on it, y'all say y'all white dudes,
Speaker 2: stand on it, you know, learn the language, learn to
Speaker 2: be whatever. But that was my only thing about it.
Speaker 2: But it wasn't a it's not a critique. I just
Speaker 2: didn't think it was necessary.
Speaker 1: Yes, and just to also reiterate the statue that we
Speaker 1: threw out, she threw out. I'm seeing that it was
Speaker 1: over one hundred and eighty thousand participants and nearly four
Speaker 1: million dollars. Initially they quoted three point seven million dollars,
Speaker 1: and then another report is saying they raised over four
Speaker 1: million dollars. But either way, I'm sure BP Harris will
Speaker 1: take all the millions of dollars. I know, white women,
Speaker 1: their call was pretty successful as well. They raised about
Speaker 1: eight million dollars on their call.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, yeah they Lady Yes.
Speaker 1: And also a co founder of Netflix, also endorsed and
Speaker 1: made a donation to Vice President Kamala Harris. I know
Speaker 1: right now she's speaking and scheduled to speak in different places,
Speaker 1: speaking in Georgia. She'll be doing a concepts.
Speaker 2: Do on Wait. As a side note, that Netflix founder
Speaker 2: was the one that also said he won't gonna give
Speaker 2: another dime if Joe Biden stayed on the ticket. Just
Speaker 2: to be clear, Sea, Yeah, so he came back to
Speaker 2: make good on his promise. Well was he definitely ran
Speaker 2: Joe off the ballot.
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, I know we're talking
Speaker 1: about things that we missed. You know, Joe Biden. President
Speaker 1: Biden is still trying to he's still going strong. I
Speaker 1: know he went to Austin, Texas to speak at the
Speaker 1: LBJ Library and he spoke on civil rights. I know
Speaker 1: that Reverend Al Sharkon and others joined him on Air
Speaker 1: Force one and they went there. He did get to
Speaker 1: speak about civil rights and the importance of it. I
Speaker 1: know you had the pleasure of watching that as well.
Speaker 1: Test not sure if you had any thoughts on it,
Speaker 1: but you know that the President looked stronger than he
Speaker 1: did at that debate with Trump.
Speaker 2: I must say, m yeah, I like that he called
Speaker 2: for Supreme court term livings eighteen years. You know a
Speaker 2: lot of people say, oh, that's ridiculous, that's crazy talking.
Speaker 2: It ain't gonna happen. Well, everything is always crazy talking
Speaker 2: until it happens, you have to still put it out there. Obviously,
Speaker 2: we know he can't get it done, and you know
Speaker 2: it won't happen, but it's a conversation that needs to
Speaker 2: you know, that needs to happen. So yeah, he's still
Speaker 2: the President of the United States. And hey, I said
Speaker 2: this on my last and I'm not going to keep
Speaker 2: reiterating it for the sake reiterating it. But I am concerned,
Speaker 2: you know, with the white voters in these swing states.
Speaker 2: I did believe that they were more comfortable Joe Biden.
Speaker 2: But I still I am an organizer, and I am
Speaker 2: impressed with the organizing that's been happening. I am I
Speaker 2: don't have a reason to be mad and bitter, Like
Speaker 2: a lot of people are mad and bitter that people
Speaker 2: are organizing. It's actually showing how insignificant people are. You know,
Speaker 2: I talked to you about this all the time. Where
Speaker 2: it may seem like five hundred people with thout people
Speaker 2: like but you're getting a chance to see like what
Speaker 2: organizers do for real, not just you, but just people
Speaker 2: in general. It is really making the people in the
Speaker 2: corner who are yelling, screaming and hollering show how and
Speaker 2: they could be yelling and screaming for the right reasons.
Speaker 2: I want to be clear about that. You got every
Speaker 2: right to yell and scream, but you're getting a chance
Speaker 2: to see what organizing looks like, and how fast and
Speaker 2: how organic it can be, and how if you really
Speaker 2: got the juice that you say you got and you
Speaker 2: really able to make it pop and get something organic
Speaker 2: and put it out there and say truckers for Harris
Speaker 2: or truckers against Harris. It's enough people who are against
Speaker 2: VP Hares that there should have been a call. I
Speaker 2: think you mentioned somebody is having a call like Blacks
Speaker 2: with Trumps or Blacks again hair, So let's see. We're
Speaker 2: gonna see that what that call look like, how many
Speaker 2: people are on the call. So you have every right
Speaker 2: to organize for against But what you can't do Jay
Speaker 2: between now in the next ninety eight days is not
Speaker 2: do anything at all. If you think that just getting
Speaker 2: in the comments and telling somebody else what they shouldn't
Speaker 2: be doing is organizing, that's not it. If your job
Speaker 2: is to just discourage, that's not it. Because the momentum
Speaker 2: is so high for Harris in this moment that everybody
Speaker 2: else having these little random conversations is not working. Jade's
Speaker 2: getting drowned out. So what I'm saying, I'm not encouraging
Speaker 2: anybody to do anything, but I'm telling you that if
Speaker 2: you want to put your demands on the table, if
Speaker 2: you want to actually be heard and taken serious, you're
Speaker 2: gonna need to gather up all of those that agree
Speaker 2: with you and make a statement. Because right now, random
Speaker 2: I ain't voting for it because she ain't black. I
Speaker 2: ain't voting because she locked up there. I ain't vote that.
Speaker 2: Ain't that ain't cutting it. Where's the numbers? Put the
Speaker 2: numbers on the table. And so that's that's what I've
Speaker 2: been preaching the people.
Speaker 1: Many many things have happened. Again, tes, I want to
Speaker 1: reiterate that VP Harris's poll numbers have increased right since
Speaker 1: over the last week, since she is now the ded
Speaker 1: the Democratic nominee.
Speaker 2: What else.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, of course, has still been campaigning. He made
Speaker 1: a statement that if Christians vote for him, they'll never
Speaker 1: have to vote again in another election, and BP Harris
Speaker 1: definitely did clap back at him for that particular comment.
Speaker 1: What else do we know? Within the last week, okay,
Speaker 1: the FBI has stated that Donald Trump will will be
Speaker 1: giving a statement in testimony about Eargate. I'm calling it
Speaker 1: Eargate test you know, the atted assassination and where he
Speaker 1: was shot in the ear. So what has been confirmed
Speaker 1: that he was hit by bullet in his ear? So
Speaker 1: we should be hearing.
Speaker 2: Oh, we don't have no picture of it, though I
Speaker 2: believe him. I just won't know where's the picture.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know about the picture. But
Speaker 1: you know, people are calling him miracle ear and saying
Speaker 1: that it's held quite quite quickly in on his speaking
Speaker 1: engagements of course on the campaign trail, and they're not
Speaker 1: seeing any scars. So you know, there's definitely a lot
Speaker 1: of conscience around that. I know you did mention that
Speaker 1: President Biden has called for Supreme Court reforms and constitutional
Speaker 1: limits on presidential immunity. So that has also happened. The
Speaker 1: Secret Service director, oh my goodness, has been getting grilled.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, the the investigations team in Congress tech
Speaker 1: who's was going in? I know you were watching that
Speaker 1: as well. Did you want to talk about.
Speaker 2: No, they just not done to thee just you know,
Speaker 2: asking the questions that they couldn't answer that they should
Speaker 2: know by now, like you said, I think they said
Speaker 2: it's been seventeen days, and little things like was it
Speaker 2: somebody on the roof or they supposed to be on
Speaker 2: the roof or not on the roof? Oh, I don't know,
Speaker 2: I'm still looking ato that you should know that was
Speaker 2: somebody assigned on the roof. It's a simple question. Well
Speaker 2: we know the person there went on the inside, Yeah,
Speaker 2: but were they supposed to be there? So just so
Speaker 2: they were dancing around a lot of a lot of
Speaker 2: questions and you know, didn't answer and I think at
Speaker 2: this stage just on it exceptable, they truly screwed up.
Speaker 2: You know, whether you like Trump or not, that that
Speaker 2: was not a good look at all. And I think
Speaker 2: for Trumpets to believe everything is a conspiracy anyway, it
Speaker 2: definitely plays into that they probably did it to hurt
Speaker 2: him kind of thing. And so it was a bump
Speaker 2: for him, I believe. But with this new momentum with
Speaker 2: VP Harris, it done kind of sucked out the energy
Speaker 2: that honestly at least if you're looking at that momentum.
Speaker 2: Because it threw the campaign off, they don't know which
Speaker 2: direction to go, and they tried to the insult way,
Speaker 2: which normally worked before, but it ain't working too well
Speaker 2: for him right now. You know, with the cat ladies
Speaker 2: and the women with no kids and all of that,
Speaker 2: it ain't. It ain't landing the way they thought it
Speaker 2: was gonna land, calling the benbows and dumb bows and
Speaker 2: all of that. That ain't it ain't landing the way
Speaker 2: y'all wanted to land. So I even saw two Fox
Speaker 2: hosts pushback. Stuart who's always asking me if buy more
Speaker 2: woman of color? The one I always say, I'm not
Speaker 2: a woman of color. He pushed back on that. Also,
Speaker 2: another host, Neil uh Cavado, also pushed back on that.
Speaker 2: He's all Neil's always very kind to me too. He
Speaker 2: always send me a personal thank you note every time
Speaker 2: I go on his show. He pushed back on that too, saying,
Speaker 2: you know, why do you all find the clip? He said,
Speaker 2: why do you keep call him a dumbo? Like that's
Speaker 2: not getting us anywhere. You don't have to keep insulting her.
Speaker 2: So even on the Fox side, they like y'all just
Speaker 2: doing too much with this. It ain't working mm hmm.
Speaker 2: We'll see.
Speaker 1: So I just also wanted to note that VP Harris
Speaker 1: will be making her running mate announcement next week. We're
Speaker 1: expected to hear that next week, and we know that
Speaker 1: a lot several governors from swing states are in the running,
Speaker 1: so we have to see, like is it is it
Speaker 1: gonna be someone from Arizona or Pennsylvania. You know what's
Speaker 1: going on. There's a lot of anticipation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would guess Pennsylvania. North Carolina's out, which I
Speaker 2: was kind of saying North Carolina, so they don't know.
Speaker 2: Other way would make sense with Pennsylvania to me, who
Speaker 2: will see, they'll know. Excuse me, guys, I'm yan yan.
Speaker 2: And on the podcast they said, well, no in a week,
Speaker 2: and they said she's plans to be on the campaign
Speaker 2: trail with her person next week.
Speaker 1: So the interesting thing, though, test is that VP Harris
Speaker 1: has got endorsements from border mires in the smain state Arizona,
Speaker 1: which was shocking to several people because she's been facing
Speaker 1: a lot of GOP criticism on immigrations. So several mayors
Speaker 1: from down there have actually endorsed her. So we'll see
Speaker 1: how that goes. Do want to mention this? This happened,
Speaker 1: all right? So now the Iowa six week abortion band
Speaker 1: is now in effect.
Speaker 2: All right? So first or twenty second or something.
Speaker 1: Yes, that is now in effect, and it's prohibiting procedures
Speaker 1: before many women even know that they're pregnant. Now one
Speaker 1: I have to look and see exactly which possible contender
Speaker 1: for VP. Harris's running mate is also being criticized on
Speaker 1: their previous statements on abortion. So now the abortion is
Speaker 1: back in you know the headlines. Given Iowa six week
Speaker 1: abortion band going into effect, everyone's abortion records are going
Speaker 1: to be thoroughly checked and that is coming into the
Speaker 1: conversation as well. So those are the things that have
Speaker 1: happened thus far. And I'm sure this will continue to
Speaker 1: be a fast news week.
Speaker 2: Tis Yeah, No, we got a lot going on. We
Speaker 2: have again just reminder my little role the next six
Speaker 2: few months chief political correspondent for Revolt News, So I'll
Speaker 2: be doing weekly segments for Revolt every week. Also, we're
Speaker 2: going to do some more debates. I hope you guys
Speaker 2: have enjoyed that. And this week, I believe if I
Speaker 2: can get to Houston that they can get the credentials
Speaker 2: for Houston. I'll be covering that. She's going to VV
Speaker 2: Harris won be speaking to the Zetas on Houston on Wednesday,
Speaker 2: and then I'll possibly go to the funeral with the
Speaker 2: turn Bensroom Crump for congress Room. She Jackson Lee she'll
Speaker 2: be there as well. I'm not sure about that, so
Speaker 2: we'll see. But then Friday going into Atlanta, UH to
Speaker 2: do some interviews. One will Representative jasp and Crockett, so
Speaker 2: you know, be looking out for that, and then heading
Speaker 2: to I believe next week. I believe it is the
Speaker 2: DNC convention, so I will be in that. We'll be
Speaker 2: there in Chicago and that's gonna be lit, so we'll
Speaker 2: be doing some coverage from that as well. They also
Speaker 2: have in a BJ Tomorrow, Donald Trump will be at
Speaker 2: the National Association Black Journalists. I plan to be there,
Speaker 2: but I was trying to figure out all these different
Speaker 2: places we have to be in such a short amount
Speaker 2: of time. But you know, people they're they're on my page.
Speaker 2: They're getting confused, Oh, it's Chicago, this is not Chicago.
Speaker 2: It's in Chicago. This is the National as Social Black
Speaker 2: Journalists it's a closed off event. It's not bringing in everybody.
Speaker 2: It's not for Roland Martin because he gonna be in
Speaker 2: the room and he gonna give it a bit. No,
Speaker 2: it's the people on the panel that will be speaking
Speaker 2: to him only. It's not taking questions at least that's
Speaker 2: how it's normally not And for people saying, well, why
Speaker 2: is Harri's falking up there? No candidate would agree to
Speaker 2: not having somebody that leans towards them on the panel,
Speaker 2: it just makes sense. You don't walk into a you know,
Speaker 2: suicide mission. It's not about oh, just have everybody keep
Speaker 2: it written. No, you always want to have somebody that's
Speaker 2: favorable to you, that you feel is going to be fair.
Speaker 2: So if I got a debate, I'm gonna be like, Okay,
Speaker 2: let's make sure we got this person that person. It
Speaker 2: can't all three b j's. It got to be a jade,
Speaker 2: somebody that's probably gonna be against me, and somebody's neutral.
Speaker 2: So any candidate would do that at any time. So
Speaker 2: that's not some Oh they ain't trying to keep it real.
Speaker 2: They try to know that's just what it is. But
Speaker 2: I commend them for going I commend him for going
Speaker 2: because he certainly understands that he's not going into a
Speaker 2: friendly room. And so I always in that same way
Speaker 2: I commended Mayor Pete and Bernie Sanders when they did
Speaker 2: a town haul on Fox News. I'm all about go
Speaker 2: to the areas where you don't have the favorability, go
Speaker 2: to the places where people are not willing to listen
Speaker 2: to you. So I think that's I respect that if
Speaker 2: nothing else, even if the panel people are favorable to you,
Speaker 2: you're still walking in a room that you know you're
Speaker 2: more than likely not welcome. Then, so I always got.
Speaker 1: Respect for that. Yeah, I'm seeing. Well, first off, you
Speaker 1: mentioned Roland Martin. Shout out to Roland Martin. He actually did.
Speaker 1: Sweeten wanted to clarify that he was not given an
Speaker 1: opportunity to, you know, be a part of that panel,
Speaker 1: and that no mail journalists were invited to be on
Speaker 1: the panel or to moderate the panel either. So he
Speaker 1: wanted to see, why.
Speaker 2: Is he shitting on an ABJ in that way, Roland?
Speaker 2: Why are you tweeting that to clarify that? Like, come
Speaker 2: on Land to clarify, and then all don't want you
Speaker 2: to be on it, and he don't want you to
Speaker 2: be on a road. You don't have to be on
Speaker 2: everything and be a part of everything and everything gotta
Speaker 2: be blasting somebody out, girl, Rowland, something shut out to you, rolling,
Speaker 2: but you something else sometimes you really are Everything really
Speaker 2: ain't about you Roland. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And also I see that April Ryan tweeted that, according
Speaker 1: to a source that she got, we don't know who
Speaker 1: the source is. They confirmed that allegedly that VP Harris
Speaker 1: will not be attending uh the NABJ convention either.
Speaker 2: She just gon't be there this week. Yep, it was
Speaker 2: not about a source. It's posted with V B Harris
Speaker 2: just doing I mean she's literally it's not a source.
Speaker 2: I mean she'll be like I said she'll be. And
Speaker 2: she also said that on you open up the tweet,
Speaker 2: she said she'll be a crameiss woman. She Jackson Lee's.
Speaker 2: But I guess April probably needed to recon ask that
Speaker 2: since Trump is going, they probably saying what about Harris?
Speaker 2: What about Harris? So, but it was about a source.
Speaker 2: It's about no Tuesday. She's in Atlanta Tomorrow. Wednesday is
Speaker 2: the day the NABJ opens up. She will be speaking
Speaker 2: to the Zada's in Houston. The reason why she's in
Speaker 2: Houston is because she's gonna be there for Sheila Jackson
Speaker 2: Lee's funeral, as she should. She elected. Lee served thirty
Speaker 2: years and you know, so also Clinton and Obama will
Speaker 2: be there as well. I'm not sure about Biden. I
Speaker 2: will assume, but I don't know what's going on with
Speaker 2: the kel, you know, whatever going on with him. But
Speaker 2: she's given the eulogy at Sheela Jackson Lee's funeral, and
Speaker 2: so NABJ by the time she would get to that
Speaker 2: on Friday, it's pretty much over with, you know, at
Speaker 2: that at that point. So that's what that's about. There's
Speaker 2: other things going on, and to be in the room
Speaker 2: with NABJ and to be quite honest with you, a
Speaker 2: room that media that supports her but really just report
Speaker 2: on her. If I was her campaign manager, I would
Speaker 2: be going to the zadas who actually are going to organize,
Speaker 2: like organize phone bank, knock on doors. It's their boulet.
Speaker 2: So when you got an opportunity to go, you know,
Speaker 2: before ten thousand or so, I have, I mean, you
Speaker 2: know what's gonna be. That's that's where you need to
Speaker 2: be with the organizers and not and not because it's
Speaker 2: the Divine nine or whatever. They was just no organizers.
Speaker 2: They actually these women's part of the pillars to organize
Speaker 2: and to get involved and so that that it makes
Speaker 2: sense for her to be there. And because she did
Speaker 2: go to the Ak's like you've got to still show
Speaker 2: the love across the board. So that's what that's about.
Speaker 2: It's not about it, but you know whatever, I think
Speaker 2: April needed to just confirm them for people that wanted
Speaker 2: to know why she wasn't there and why Trump was.
Speaker 1: See and this is why you are a chief political
Speaker 1: correspondent and for this election season because the way you
Speaker 1: just broke that down. And this is why I love
Speaker 1: coming on too straight shot and chasing with you because
Speaker 1: I'm always getting, you know, a lesson in all things political.
Speaker 1: So thanks you.
Speaker 2: For you were one of the ones that was like,
Speaker 2: why she not going? She should be going?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I was just confused. I didn't expect her
Speaker 1: to go. I'm like, why would she want to be
Speaker 1: there if Trump is there? You know, I mean I didn't.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect for her to want to be there
Speaker 1: when the same day.
Speaker 2: Or but of course you would love that though you
Speaker 2: always like, yeah, you wouldn't want to be there the
Speaker 2: same day. If you got an audience, I want to
Speaker 2: talk to that same audience. Yeah, okay, but that wasn't why.
Speaker 2: It just you need to be where the organizers are,
Speaker 2: and not even because of organizers. And just another point,
Speaker 2: not because it's in Houston, Texas, which is not a
Speaker 2: swing state. She was just in Houston, Texas last week.
Speaker 2: But she was in Hugeton last week because the teachers'
Speaker 2: unions was organizing here, so are in Texas in Houston,
Speaker 2: so teachers from all over the country were there. So
Speaker 2: this boulet Zada from all over the country will be there.
Speaker 2: So if you got an opportunity. It's not like she's
Speaker 2: trying to organize in Houston, Texas per se. It's just
Speaker 2: where they're all gathering, very different to Atlanta. Now this
Speaker 2: podcast comes up on two Thursday, so I'm trying to
Speaker 2: so guys know, you know the day recording, not the
Speaker 2: same day, but today is Tuesday. She's organizing in Atlanta, Georgia,
Speaker 2: in a swing state. That's not She's not coming to
Speaker 2: Houston because of the swing state. You're coming because somebody
Speaker 2: from them swing states are going to be in that audience.
Speaker 2: And you need them organizing. So it's not because Trump
Speaker 2: is gonna be there. It's because I'm actually over trying
Speaker 2: to do the work because I got ninety eight days.
Speaker 1: Yo, a ninety eight day campaign. Yeah, maybe let's say
Speaker 1: she had about one hundred and some days, but still
Speaker 1: maybe one hundred and seven days maybe, but woo.
Speaker 2: Not eight days. And I gotta go. I gotta go
Speaker 2: speak to people, journalists or not organizers. And to be
Speaker 2: honest with you, most black journalists, we're just gonna be honest,
Speaker 2: they're already favorable towards her. So why would I spend
Speaker 2: that time? Kind of like, you know, the campaign you
Speaker 2: and I are working on and I'm helping behind the scenes,
Speaker 2: it's all about how much time do you have, Where
Speaker 2: do you spend that time? Where is it most valued?
Speaker 2: What's the money work? You know, why is it work?
Speaker 2: You know, we had that conversation about simple text message.
Speaker 2: Do we spend the money to invest on that? And
Speaker 2: remember you're like, yeah, people are responding. But then when
Speaker 2: you actually start getting the numbers and like, well how
Speaker 2: many Jay, oh, about twenty out of how many?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Six times? I don't know, Yeah, yeah, not worth it? Yeah,
Speaker 2: it starts seeming like it's a lot until you really start, Okay, well,
Speaker 2: if I got five hundred dollars left, what do I
Speaker 2: spend that on that or this? You know, So it's
Speaker 2: always about reassessing daily. Where's the greatest return of investment,
Speaker 2: what's the most we get out of it? What's the more?
Speaker 2: And it's a double win in Texas because Texas believes
Speaker 2: they can flip Texas at some point. It is more
Speaker 2: Democrat votes. But again it's not just her. It did
Speaker 2: this Beto when he ran twice. All of that they
Speaker 2: galvanized a lot. They got really close, just not close enough.
Speaker 2: So even with her going to Houston, you're still planning
Speaker 2: a seed that may not pay off now but down
Speaker 2: the road. But if she had to come to Houston
Speaker 2: to plan a seed, you wouldn't do that with ninety
Speaker 2: eight days left. You ain't got time to be planning. See,
Speaker 2: you gotta go where you're gonna get the biggest for
Speaker 2: your buck. But again, she's only coming because you have
Speaker 2: a boulet and you got I'm sure five ten thousand
Speaker 2: women in one room who are gonna literally take marching
Speaker 2: orders and go out and not just talk on social media.
Speaker 1: The other thing that has happened is that there's a
Speaker 1: Project twenty twenty five update. I know that word has
Speaker 1: been circulating. We've been talking about Project twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: has been out for over a year. So the now
Speaker 1: former director, Paul Dance has stepped down from his position
Speaker 1: at Project twenty twenty five. So he's no longer the director.
Speaker 1: And Project twenty twenty five, for those who don't know,
Speaker 1: I may not know, is a conservative strategy for a
Speaker 1: potential second Trump term amid heavy criticism, including from Trump himself.
Speaker 1: So Trump has tried to distance himself away from it. So, yes,
Speaker 1: the Heritage Foundation is responsible for Project twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: and the Heritage Foundation's president, doctor Kevin Roberts, did confirm
Speaker 1: that Paul Dance has departed from Project twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: And you know they are still very very celebratory that
Speaker 1: Project twenty twenty five has successfully united over one hundred
Speaker 1: and ten conservative organizations.
Speaker 2: Right, So people who are run around talk about it's
Speaker 2: just a scare tactic. You sound ridiculous. One hundred and
Speaker 2: ten organizations that got together and raised twenty two million dollars.
Speaker 2: That's a strategy. That's a strategy. Why would they make
Speaker 2: that make sense? If Democrats are using it for a
Speaker 2: scare tactic, they're not the ones that came up with it.
Speaker 2: The Conservatives came up with it. So are you now
Speaker 2: saying that Democrats told them to come up with it
Speaker 2: so they can have it for a scare tactic. Make
Speaker 2: it make sense now if you're saying that you don't
Speaker 2: like that they're using that as a way to Okay,
Speaker 2: but it's an actual, real strategy. It's an actual strategy.
Speaker 2: One hundred and fifteen organizations got together and raised twenty
Speaker 2: two million dollars to advocate for these things. Not that
Speaker 2: all those things are going to go through, not that
Speaker 2: they're not going to pass, not that yes, some of
Speaker 2: the stuff is extremely extreme, whatever, but it is a
Speaker 2: strategy the same way I would love to have a
Speaker 2: strategy for Push the Lawn that say, hey, we're gonna
Speaker 2: put ten million dollars behind recruiting, training, educating and putting
Speaker 2: people in position. That's all it is. They just actually
Speaker 2: have the funding for it in the organizations is supported,
Speaker 2: and I don't that's not a scare tactic.
Speaker 1: That's a strategy, absolutely, And you know the document Project
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five is nearly one thousand pages long, and
Speaker 1: just to be clear for listeners, this Project twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five was launched to provide a roadmap for the next
Speaker 1: Republican president's first one hundred and eighty days. So those
Speaker 1: are all of the things that they're saying strategically, this
Speaker 1: is what we are going to implement in the first
Speaker 1: one hundred eighty days of the next Republican president. And
Speaker 1: in this case we'll be Trump. Now. Just to be
Speaker 1: clear again, Trump has distanced himself from the project, stating
Speaker 1: on social media, quote, I have no idea who is
Speaker 1: behind the end quote. But how could that be true?
Speaker 1: Tes when a CNN review of Project twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: found that at least one hundred and forty former Trump
Speaker 1: administry officials contribute it to the project.
Speaker 2: Right, but even if he did, I'll go ahead and
Speaker 2: take him in his word. Even if he didn't know
Speaker 2: anybody behind it, it doesn't matter. They're behind you. He
Speaker 2: don't have to know them. They know him, they're behind
Speaker 2: his move. And people get into the detail of arguing
Speaker 2: about they do know, he do know, he do know,
Speaker 2: even though that's a good point to bring up, but
Speaker 2: I don't people know I don't. I got people that
Speaker 2: follow me on Instagram, but I don't have a clue
Speaker 2: of who they are. But they support what I do,
Speaker 2: so as long as I got to ride after supporting
Speaker 2: what I do. We don't ever have to know each other.
Speaker 2: Knowing each other means nothing. Do you support what I
Speaker 2: what I do? You see what I'm saying. I don't
Speaker 2: need to know you. The army don't know every general.
Speaker 2: People on the ground don't know every general, who they
Speaker 2: fighting for or who over it and who they try.
Speaker 2: It's about do you believe in the common mission and
Speaker 2: the common goal? In fact, you always keep the distance.
Speaker 2: You don't want to know. That's all one of the excuses.
Speaker 2: That's how I got caught up in that hush money case.
Speaker 2: Pay Mike, pay Michael Cohen, and he go pay that
Speaker 2: person and pay, and that it's supposed to be not knowing.
Speaker 2: Don't dealers stay off the phone for a reason. That
Speaker 2: don't mean you don't support the agenda. Or if you
Speaker 2: don't support the agenda, the agenda supports you. That's the point.
Speaker 2: People have to flip that talking point around. He don't
Speaker 2: have to know him. He can distance all day long.
Speaker 2: It still don't mean we ain't riding for you at
Speaker 2: don Yeah.
Speaker 1: And this director that director or now former director Paul
Speaker 1: Dance can step down all he wants from that position.
Speaker 1: But Project twenty twenty five will continue to go on
Speaker 1: and will continue to be implemented because they're very very
Speaker 1: clear in terms of what their playbook is and what
Speaker 1: their roadmap is.
Speaker 2: And I don't believe you know, stepping down that's just
Speaker 2: for talk in theater. Period. The project is moving on.
Speaker 2: It's always been moving on. The agenda's always been there.
Speaker 2: It just keeps getting more and more extreme. So he
Speaker 2: can step down, step aside, move in the middle. Bottom
Speaker 2: line is the agenda's there. Period.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 2: That's all.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: I wanted to wrap up quickly. No, we've been there
Speaker 2: long enough, but wanted to again rest in peace to
Speaker 2: Sonya Macy. There was a National Day of Morning we
Speaker 2: mentioned at the top of the show, National Day of
Speaker 2: Morning for her. I know of a few rallies I
Speaker 2: end up. I don't mention in my apologies, just the
Speaker 2: ones that people sent me. I know Charlotte, Houston, New York.
Speaker 2: Wasn't something in DC as well?
Speaker 1: Yes, DC, Chicago, Brooklyn, New York and definitely her hometown
Speaker 1: of Springfield, Illinois. And I also think I saw something
Speaker 1: for Atlanta. So there were many, many ones that happened,
Speaker 1: and I know you had the honor and the privilege
Speaker 1: of speaking at one as well.
Speaker 2: Test Yeah, definitely, I was in Like I said, I
Speaker 2: was in New York, and it was either stay in
Speaker 2: New York or go to Houston. I felt it was
Speaker 2: more appropriate to go to Houston with Serena McGee terror Brown,
Speaker 2: who is George Floyd's cousins, who they've become sister like
Speaker 2: sisters to me, And so I wanted to attend because
Speaker 2: this really should be as big as an outcry as
Speaker 2: George Floyd. I mean, it was just that bad. It
Speaker 2: wasn't eight minutes, but we saw just cold blooded murder
Speaker 2: in the fact that she said I rebuking the name
Speaker 2: of g like cold bloody murder. And I just would
Speaker 2: have thought it would have been a longer and bigger outcry.
Speaker 2: You know, I've been telling you, Jade all year, is
Speaker 2: gonna take two things, another George Floyd thing, our project
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five or Trump getting elected and being that
Speaker 2: we just had a George Floyd thing, and know and
Speaker 2: people still halfway sleep. I hope we don't have to
Speaker 2: see fat me and greasy. I hope that I'm wrong,
Speaker 2: but we are really asleep at the wheel. The energy
Speaker 2: was super low. I had to really like I made
Speaker 2: them stand up, like people were sitting down. It was quiet.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they thought day of morning meant
Speaker 2: quiet and solid or what. But it's a rally, you
Speaker 2: should be turned up. And Tamika gave me the same feedback.
Speaker 2: She had to like, really, we know, like when we
Speaker 2: got to pull energy out the crowd, you know, like
Speaker 2: really work. We had to work, and that to me,
Speaker 2: and I'm appreciative of everybody being that. I'm just telling
Speaker 2: you the tone of what you would think, you know,
Speaker 2: national outcries just not there. And my son brought up
Speaker 2: a very interesting point, you know, he said that unfortunately,
Speaker 2: because of all that's happened with Black Lives Matter and
Speaker 2: the momentum and companies not doing what they're doing and
Speaker 2: di it just kind of sucked it out and it's
Speaker 2: taken away from you know, every time an activist it
Speaker 2: must be a scam or it really did hurt the
Speaker 2: movement and it's not cool anymore. Twenty twenty it was cool.
Speaker 2: The artist was on board rapping about it, singing about it,
Speaker 2: not about the cool about you know what the bright
Speaker 2: side of that is, Jay, I love when it's time
Speaker 2: to clean house. I want to see who really for
Speaker 2: real about this. I love that it's just a few
Speaker 2: so that way because you know, I'm gonna bring up
Speaker 2: the receipt when it get back cool again. Unfortunately, when
Speaker 2: it get back serious again, if Project twenty twenty five
Speaker 2: go through, now, all of a sudden, the so called
Speaker 2: influence is gonna have all the answers and where were
Speaker 2: they in moments like this?
Speaker 1: So yeah, morale is really low. But I'm sorry, tast
Speaker 1: I'm really I'm really disgusted at the amount of people
Speaker 1: that were definitely saying defund the police back in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty and those a lot of those same black folks
Speaker 1: are now saying that they are supporting Donald Trump, who
Speaker 1: wants to give federal immunity to the police. So I'm
Speaker 1: not really sure what's going on out there, but there
Speaker 1: definitely isn't a lot of support for this issue. And
Speaker 1: also the mainstream news media, aside from print media, I
Speaker 1: didn't see I haven't seen much about these rallies being
Speaker 1: covered in the mainstream media on television.
Speaker 2: E oo, well covered at all. I mean, you know
Speaker 2: they I've been watching a ticket. You know they covered
Speaker 2: Sonya a little bit, but they're not covered at all.
Speaker 2: The momentum is gone. I mean, I don't know, it's
Speaker 2: very low. And like I said, said, it's cycles, so
Speaker 2: it might you know, I don't know, but it's sad.
Speaker 2: I had to really but once we got everybody going,
Speaker 2: they were there, but you just you had to pull
Speaker 2: it out, you really did. And unfortunately we've just seen
Speaker 2: this too many times. And I guess people are numb.
Speaker 2: But those of us who are any gotta keep fighting,
Speaker 2: can't give up, can't allow low spirits and all that
Speaker 2: we have to. That's why I support sysms are so important.
