WEBVTT - Fathers Day Special 0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:07.320 That's what's good. Family is your girl to make a 0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:10.240 d mallory and it's your boy my son in general, 0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:13.360 and we are your host of street politicians, the place 0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:18.880 with the streets and politics meet. I am going to 0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:27.920 be a grandma, Grandma, Grandma GiMA. I'm I'm gonna be 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:32.279 a grandma. My child is having a baby. They are 0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:38.839 five months pregnant, and I am really excited and grandma 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:44.480 three good. My child is uh three, he's twenty three. 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:48.040 You know. I always think at their age, nobody's ready 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:49.840 because but I don't even know, like if you're ever 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:54.000 really ready. That's that's the thing. Right when I had 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:57.640 my son, I was two twenty two, I was much younger. 0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:00.360 I was eighteen. Yeah, so he beat you well, and 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:03.560 you know, and so I am. I would love for 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:10.319 him to follow a more traditional route, traditional of having 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:17.640 his career completely off actually happen. Well, it's traditionally what 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.480 we want, Okay, but I'm saying, what is the likelihood 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.200 that actually happened. Well, I'm just saying that's what we 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:27.360 try to encourage. Like every family tells the young people, 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:31.080 wait until you get your career together. You traveled you 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:34.880 you know, you see the world, you have multiple experiences, 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:40.319 and then you have children. We all I'm not saying 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.880 they do. I'm just talking about what I would like 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.080 to have happened for him, you know that he would 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:51.080 be in a different situation, and also for the mom, 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.440 who I also love very much. And you know, I 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:55.560 wish that that was more of their situation because I 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.640 always feel like when we're young and we're in our twenties, 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:00.960 we really should be enjoying life because you know, having 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:04.600 children it's hard, Like there's no joke. It's a life 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:08.320 changing thing. I think in theory what you're saying is 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:14.600 like beautiful. What I think in reality when men have babies, 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:16.320 I don't know what. I've never been a woman, so 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:18.320 I can't speak for women, so I've never gonna try to. 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:21.639 But I know when I have my son at two 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.079 years old, it gave me a sense of purpose. It 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.760 gave me a sense of motivation. It made me say, Okay, 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:28.919 I gotta do things a lot different. I've got to 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:32.120 be very much more intentional. I can't really play around. 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:35.600 And it gives you to motivation to do more and 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.359 be better and be more adult. Like you know, so 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:40.799 I hear the whole thing about all we want to 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:44.760 be a career, but that that's a traditional thing for families. 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.160 And I think that's a well to do ideology. But 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.200 ideology maybe, but I don't ever think it was because 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:55.840 most men, even in families where they have money or 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:59.640 they come from you know, you know, whatever, the pedigree 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:06.400 is the right mix. Um still, the kids pop up 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.800 pregnant and you just gotta do what you have to do. 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.680 And I get it, you know. I'm just saying that. 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:15.840 I think every family, and particularly moms, because we know 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:19.040 the struggles of having to like you, you don't get 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.120 to separate with your child at all, and we know it. 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.120 So it's like when we see um, you know, younger 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.240 people having kids in it, it sort of takes you 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:30.200 back to a time when it was a real struggle 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:33.480 and I feel like damn. But at the same time, 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:37.160 my son is a provider. He always has been. He's 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.320 not the type of person that will turn his back 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.520 or you know, or not be available to his child 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.200 because he does it for his whole family. I'm thinking, Sharon, 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:49.080 now this is Sharon is uh what, I don't know. 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:51.440 She was like almost sixty or something like that. She's 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.960 a woman who is mature, my sister, and for some reason, 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.640 my son still buys her food. I have no idea 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:02.080 like why he's feeding her, and but he does it. 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:05.440 And you know he's a man, Yes, I mean he's 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:10.080 like that's so, you know, So listen, I think, I think, 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:13.960 congratulations to you relations Tweka. I think Tweek is gonna 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.559 be a good father. And it's a girl. It's a girl. 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.840 I have a little girl that you can spoil you 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:22.839 like you know, and you know about the spoiling part. 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.159 Nobody knows about. Listen to me. You say that, and 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.120 I remember the first time I see my grandson. He 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:32.800 just he's adorable little boy. And every time I get 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.520 the chance about him something and I want to spoil 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.360 him and hold him. They moved to Connecticut, so it's 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:39.760 a lot harder for me to see him as I 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.600 want to before. They should go visit him every other day. 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:49.440 So it's different when you become Listen, Casan. Cassan has 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:54.599 very good parents, both his mother and his father, Cindy 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:58.320 and not San your son and Cassan's mom. They are 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.440 very good parents. So one thing I will say is 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:07.080 that you see the transition again, like generationally, you see 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:11.400 the transition of men like yourself, mothers like me, because 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.359 we've dealt with the crack era, right, So what happened 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:17.960 was there was a pocket of like lost kids because 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.360 the parents was all messed up and the kids got 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:22.320 all that stuff. And now that you kind of have 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.560 that cleared up a little bit, you see these younger 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.760 people who are having children, especially since they're not eighteen 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.960 and nineteen like it was, you know, the fifteen and fourteen, 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:36.479 because that's how young some of my sister and you know, 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.680 my friends they were that age when they had their 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:43.200 children because again their parents were out whatever was going on, 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:46.159 and they end up getting pregnant, and so you know, 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.560 you have, you know, you have basically a situation where 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.840 now with these twentiesomething in rolls a lot of them, 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:54.960 they're starting to settle down a little bit more and 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:57.760 take care of their children. And then on top of that, 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:02.360 their grandparents like you, you know, like your your your 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:04.520 what do I say, excuse me, let me go back 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.360 so we don't get that messed up, Okay, like Cassan's 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:12.440 grandmother who are really involved and trying to help provide 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.839 some level of guardrails. I don't know where this mindset 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.160 came from that we don't have to do that, like, oh, 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.640 you know, it's not on me. I don't have to 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.120 help take kid to kids. That doesn't actually work. And 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:27.520 that's why I'm sticking with grandma. I'm sticking with grandmother. 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:31.320 I know, yeah, Grandma's cue. Well, you know, you don't 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.560 look like the traditional brand. I think that's what it is. 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.440 I think people have evolved and try to change the 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:41.400 name because more it's more culturally fitting, right, because the grandmothers, 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.200 our grandmothers didn't look like you. You know what I'm saying. 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.840 Nobody said this is my grandma. So it's a different 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:49.599 ideology and different concepts that they want to show the 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.560 evolution of it. But I guess you want to be 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.880 you want to be just a traditional grandma. Listen. I 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:58.960 love Grandma, I love g G, I love me Ma, 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:02.560 I love all of those things. But I think that 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:04.760 there is something to be said, you know. And I 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:07.880 try to be reflective and as I sit and think 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:11.440 about the breakdown of our communities, because damn it, there 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.880 is a breakdown. We are in the midst of a 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:20.680 internal and external war, and I'm trying to as a 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:23.800 reflective individual who does look different, and I try to 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:27.120 do that in every area of my life and my career. 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:30.280 Everything I do is to show that you can be fly, 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.040 you can you know, look good, be up with the trend, 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:37.520 have your own style, do all that you want to do, 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:41.200 and still be actively engaged in fighting for your community, 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:44.560 Be a responsible individual, be somebody that's working on your 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.440 spiritual healing and all of that. And that's why I'm 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:50.360 sticking with Grandma, because I feel like there's a lot 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.680 of glammy's and all of those beautiful names, but there 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:57.760 is also a space for us to restore what grandmothers, grandma, 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:01.040 regular grandma, what that looks like. And so I want 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.960 to know what people out there think, like, do folks 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:07.440 in the world think I'm being extra or do you 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:11.000 all agree and understand why Grandma needs so much? You know? 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:15.400 Teslin wrote on my page the other day when I 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.760 announced that I'm about to be a grandma, she was 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:22.720 talking about the word grant and how important just grant 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:26.080 in and of itself is and for me, that's a 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:30.560 legacy piece. So I'm speaking with Grandma. I'm a I love. 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.520 But the thing is, it's still the same thing because 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:38.480 the G is just the abbreviation for so it's still traditional. 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.160 It's it's just my little, my little flavor that I 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:46.040 like that, you know what, I just feel like I want. 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:48.640 But I don't listen. I'm not trying to say anybody 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.360 who doesn't it's wrong. I'm just saying what I'm doing. 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.160 You know what I'm saying. Everybody doing what they're doing. 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:58.320 Let's get into these news uh so much news. The 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:02.240 news is just a new updates, UM and what's happening 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:06.079 across the nation. So, first of all, I'm really proud 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:13.200 of our friend, attorney Benjamin Crump. UM. Just this past 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:17.880 weekend we attended attended the Tribeca Film Festival where his 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:21.920 film was featured. Sybil is the name of It. On 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:26.920 June nineteenth. It will be released on Netflix. UM. Right now. 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:30.600 It's in the film festivals this week actually today. UM. 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:35.160 It will also be featured during the African American Film 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:39.400 Festival in Miami, which we will attend. UM. The film 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:44.360 is incredible. People talk so much bullshit about Attorney Crump, 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.600 But after watching this film, and we know we worked 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:48.480 with him every day, I see Crump all the time. 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.840 I talked to him at five in the morning. I'm 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:53.080 there when he's trying to sleep a little bit in 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:56.320 the middle of the day, he's standing up sleeping. I've 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:59.920 seen him through so for years since Trayvon Martin, I've 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.640 don't Been Crump, and I've watched him grow up, watched 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.800 him slim down. I've watched him work on his craft 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:08.920 and Nope. But after seeing the film, you can't say 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.520 nothing to me about Been Crump. I mean, you couldn't 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:13.839 say that to me before this. But I think the 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:18.840 film delves into so many different things. It delves into 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:22.559 his perfect as a delts upbringing. It shows you the 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:28.880 complexity of his life, his family, family, how much his 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:32.679 wife is so supportive because she He's never there talking 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.520 about his family, talking about his friends. You know, my god, 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:39.560 Big Silky and Silkie is somebody that you know, he's 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:43.400 been with Trump, Triple O G And when you understand 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.439 his history and you understand how Crump has him with 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.800 him and every day exactly, and then you look at 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.480 different cases that you don't even know that Crump is 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.640 working on, and how he's engaged you know, and then 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.880 when you you you hear the criticism. He even puts 0:10:57.920 --> 0:10:59.839 it in it or if you love it, why you're 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:05.760 doing for money in response to it. But basically, I mean, 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:07.080 I know, I don't know if it's supposed to tell 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:08.920 because people need to watch it, but I think it 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:10.640 needs to be said because you know the critics, they 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:12.760 will watch us and this, uh and then never gonna 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.400 watch the film. And I think that even if you 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.000 are a critic of someone, especially if you're black and 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:20.720 you claim you love black people and you're a critic 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:23.800 of someone and they have a documentary, a book or 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:28.160 something out, you can't be a authentic critic unless you 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.400 read it and try to understand more about who that 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:33.920 person is so that you can know is it is 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:37.640 it firsthand knowledge? Is this exactly? You know? What is 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:41.760 my interpretation real? Or is this what I heard somewhere 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.360 or just what I think because of based upon me 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:46.800 seeing this person for a few seconds. So if you 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:48.840 are a real critic of being crumbs, you should be 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:52.040 more than willing to sit down and watch this documentary. 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:55.600 That again, when he's asked about the money, he talks 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.880 about how the Civil Rights Division, which are the cases 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.920 that he fights across the country, they are that is 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:05.479 the least paid or the hot the least earning department. 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:08.679 Within his law practice, he makes the most money from 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:12.640 personal injury from suing these major companies when they are 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:16.920 discriminating against you know, employees on the civil right side. 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:21.440 People see these big cases Brianna tell A twelve million dollars, 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.560 George Floyd's family twenty seven million, which, by the way, 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:27.240 when they give you a graph of all the cases, 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.199 those are the hot the two highest paid. The rest 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:33.720 of them trade Von Martin one one million or two million, 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:37.240 somebody one million, two million, And he just it just 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.760 started to get to the point where they are able 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:45.440 to get that type of money for these absolutely right, 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:51.320 because making sure that the government pays you. Because he's 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:54.640 built up a reputation, right, he's he's able to guard 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:59.079 enough attention. He's able to call people like us and 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.360 other organized as a civil rights people around this world, 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:07.000 call on leaders, call on to bring attention which the 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:09.679 government can ignore, right, so that they can't just say, 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:11.719 you know, we did this to George Floyd. We're just 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.240 gonna give you two million dollars and y'all figure that out. No, 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.520 because they know that the world would be outraged. So 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:21.040 he's able to make those things happen. So because he's 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.079 put this work in for twenty plus years, he's built 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:26.200 itself up to a position to where he is an 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.160 asset to somebody else's family and and and therefore he 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:31.959 makes itself as it to itself. So I don't understand 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.040 the like I've never understood the criticism. I think people 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:38.640 you can criticize anybody you want, but I mean critique 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.960 is final. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. For me. It's like, 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:47.040 I don't understand why we have no problem with the 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.600 white lawyers and all of them they get paid hundreds 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.040 of that you know, you know how many these white 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:56.719 lawyers is taken these You know how much um young 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.440 thugging and lawyers is getting paid for you know, they 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.679 pay him millions of dollars. By the time you you 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:04.480 finished with these white lawyers, if you was in the 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:06.360 street and you've got millions of dollars, they're cleaning you 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:10.200 drive and ain't and you're not going home. They're they're 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:12.920 taking your money and they're making use. Okay, we're gonna 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:14.640 we're just making sure you don't get life. You're gonna 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.040 get twenty five years. And most of them is cleaning 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.800 you up. So a man who is fighting and he's 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.480 getting you a settlement and getting a piece. He ain't 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:26.600 taking on. He's getting a percentage of what he thought 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:28.920 to get you. These people are just taking what you 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.800 already got and you nothing. But you have an issue 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:33.360 with us being that you have an issue with the 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:36.280 black people being able to be compensating. It's just, it's 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.840 just I don't need anybody should be working for free, 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:42.400 period at all. I think that is crazy. I don't 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.840 know where it came from, but I personally I do 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:47.160 not ascribe to it and I will not. And that's 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:51.320 just the bottom line. So next thing. Well, so, anyway 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:56.320 back to congratulations, great great, great, great great great film. 0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:01.000 Um So, a college student is missing. This story has 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:04.760 me tripped out because our director, Kathleen Trigg of Eye 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:08.480 Woman tv UM is the person who brought the story 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.000 to us. I have no idea happened. Sometimes I can't 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:13.120 even deal with the news. It's like every time I 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:16.280 turn to TV and I want to um So, this 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:19.280 college student, her name is t J. She's her mom's 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:22.600 only child. She was in her final semester of college. 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:26.920 She met a woman online. Lord have mercy we meet people. 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.400 I just don't know why we meet people. I don't 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:35.520 know why we make physical online relationships like keep it online. 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.680 What I'm saying now, I mean people that I've met online. 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.840 They come to our events and new but I'm not 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:48.800 meeting you by myself, man, Jesus Christ. Poor baby. So 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:51.200 she was making some posters for the woman. I'm I'm 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.440 going to assume the woman had some type of cause 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:56.360 that she was interested in. She was making posters for 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.080 this woman, and she traveled to d C. You know, 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.840 of course, there's many details in between. But she traveled 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:06.040 to d C uh to do something for this woman, 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:10.600 and she went missing. It's been over a month. Um. 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.840 She took the bus, got off on Union State at 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:17.040 Union Station in d C. She went missing. No one 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.560 has seen her. On June one, which was about a 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:23.680 month later, she calls from Maryland from a hair salon, 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:26.880 um and calls her mom and says, come and get 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.360 me now. She told a family member tell my mom 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:33.240 to come and get me now, and then the family racist, 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.400 then I mind you. She's from New York. She's a 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:39.960 New Yorker, but she ends up there in Maryland calling 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:43.040 her mom. So her family they raised to Maryland looking 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.200 for her about of course, by the time they got there, 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:48.880 she was no longer there. So they are looking for 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:51.680 their daughter. T J. It's her name, and it's gonna 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:55.480 be more information that you will see.

But her name is t J. She's a 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:08.440 college student, um, you know, and in her final semester 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:11.960 and she is missing. She is somewhere while she traveled 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:15.560 from New York to d c UM and around June one, 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:17.800 she was at a salon in Maryland.

Next, and our news lineup is Wells Fargo. 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:30.600 Now Wells Fargo. They they just they're bad actors. I'm 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:33.639 convinced at this point there's been so much in terms 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:37.880 of discrimination. Employees complaining they were involved in the Dakota 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:43.320 Access Pipeline, which is where the Native Americans were being 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:47.080 displaced for a pipeline that they wanted to put in 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:51.160 some pipes that would run straight through the Native American land. UM. 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:54.480 There were many into including Queen your Nasca Habulist. I 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:59.159 was dear sister who's out there fighting to literally using 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:04.160 their bodies to protect the Native land, which is sacred land. UM. 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:08.520 And as a result of the spring, because they sprayed them, 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:13.119 law enforcements sprayed the people, they tasered them, they locked 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:16.320 them up, They did all types of things that impacted 0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:20.440 the health of the protesters. And now Queen your Nastah 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:25.120 is suffering from cancer uh and dealing with other issues 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:27.520 and a lot of other indigent fact, they have been 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:32.040 on some that have actually died since the big protests, 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:35.680 and Wells Fargo was one of the corporations involved in that. 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:38.639 There have been many times where people have called for 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:42.480 Wells Fargo to be on the cancel list. Now we 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:46.639 find out that they were holding fake in the interviews 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:52.200 for diversity candidates. So these were people who were going 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:55.520 in to be interviewed, and there's a manager there who's 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:57.840 telling the story himself. So this is not to Maka 0:19:57.840 --> 0:19:59.880 and some other crazy people made it up in mice 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:02.439 on just going along with it. No, this is something 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:06.440 where a manager says he noticed. So they were they 0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:10.720 were bringing these candidates in under the diversity initiative where 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:12.800 they're supposed to be hiring. They say, it's a cold 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:15.840 word for women and people of color. Uh, so they're 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:19.880 bringing these candidates in and they would interview them for positions. 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:23.560 But the guy learned that the manager, he learned that 0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:27.359 something those positions had already been assigned to someone else, 0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:30.119 so it already been promised to another person. That's the 0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:32.200 same thing that happened with the coach in the NFL, 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:35.520 wasn't it. Um I forget his name. But it was 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:37.960 the code he was he was applying for a coaching 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:41.560 position and found out they had already promised it to 0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:47.800 a whitening Brian Flores. That's what that's what happened. They 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:51.200 sent him, They sent him the wrong email. They said 0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:53.520 the person who you're actually hiring. He sent him and 0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:55.639 said he got the job, and he was supposed to 0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:57.919 go in the next day to the interview. So they 0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:03.800 were just basically interview him. Nothing to say exactly crazy stuff. 0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:08.080 That's what we gotta deal with, man. You know, the discrimination, 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:11.120 especially in sports, and it's just so many different other 0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:16.199 arenas that we have, you see, and just in major corporation. 0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:21.280 That's what There's very little opportunity for us to really 0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:25.560 excel in these corporations, major corporations. So you know, this 0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:28.200 is this is a Michael Cosmo where we actually deal 0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:30.879 with what it's actually being seen. This has been going, right, 0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:33.280 It's been going on every day exactly. That's a good point. 0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:35.879 That's a good point. It's been going on. Actually we 0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:39.119 get to see it. So then another thing and this 0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:47.359 sort of gets into my thought of the day. So 0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:50.919 I'm going to especially since we are moving quickly to 0:21:50.960 --> 0:21:52.720 get to our guests. We're trying to learn how to 0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:58.360 stop talking for ninety hours arguing about everything, so they 0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:04.440 got us on a real time. I'm frame here, guys. Uh, 0:22:04.480 --> 0:22:06.720 But now that's okay because you know, I gotta tighten 0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:09.080 it up. It's nothing wrong with getting better. That's what 0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:10.440 we're trying to do. If you get if it takes 0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:12.080 you a long time to say, you might not know 0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:15.520 what you're talking about. That's what my pastor says about 0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:17.480 when you get up to speak, if you need thirty 0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:20.240 five forty minutes to give a sermon, you don't. You 0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:23.120 can't really pretty, she said, twenty minutes. Tops people don't 0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:25.359 want here longer than that. It's okay for work with that. 0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:29.359 So Trump, Yo, let me tell you something. Trump is 0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:32.320 the best to ever do. I'm just convinced at this point, 0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:34.160 I don't know anybody. Now, let me tell you. Obama 0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:38.280 worked the camera, He worked angles. I let me see, 0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:40.639 I can't really obviously we were really young, so I 0:22:40.680 --> 0:22:43.080 can't think back to any other president. But I'm sure 0:22:43.119 --> 0:22:46.680 there are folks who are my senior who might say, well, 0:22:46.840 --> 0:22:49.080 this other president knew how to do it too. But 0:22:50.200 --> 0:22:53.959 beyond like Obama was good at the camera. The he was, 0:22:54.040 --> 0:22:59.919 he was charismatic, and he also was um you know 0:23:00.520 --> 0:23:03.560 his he they were advanced where they knew how to 0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:08.680 push the internet right, but Trumpnam they don't took everything 0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:12.000 Obama new and put a little bit of extra on it. 0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:15.800 And they are working the algorithm. They're working people's minds. 0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:21.159
