WEBVTT - Let's Take Action 0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:07.120 That's how what's good. Family is your girl to make 0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:10.400 a d. Mallory and it's your boy my son in general, 0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:14.000 and we are your host of street politicians the place 0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:22.360 with another day, another week, another tragic week. It's a 0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:25.600 lot going on that's really really tragic. We just seem 0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:32.160 to fall into these cycles of just one story after 0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:36.880 the next of things happening across the world. Um, that's 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:39.720 just kind of crazy. So I don't know if I 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:45.720 feel so great this week. Yeah, I mean, I think 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:48.600 the job that we've been called to do, that we've 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:53.040 taken on often brings forth that type of feeling. You know, 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:59.600 we always calling notified about people either being shot, wrongfully arrested, 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:03.000 people lost their lives, so you know, we take on 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:04.920 a lot of that. But you're right to This week 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:09.040 was a lot. We just attended the funeral of Jayalen Walker, 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:12.520 you know, and you know, my condolecens goes out to 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:16.920 his family. But you know, just to see how constantly 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:21.560 we still faced with the same injustices and inequalities in America, 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:26.800 it's just crazy, man. Yeah, I mean, you know, his family, 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:32.880 they're such a conservative group of individuals who are um, 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:37.320 you know, they they're not public people. They never in 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:41.160 their lives expected or imagined, of course, that anything like 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:44.199 this could happen to their loved one. And now here 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:49.800 they are experiencing something that is so devastating. His mom 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:54.080 and his sister Jada. Um you know, they're they're torn up, 0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:56.840 and the whole family of people whose lives have been 0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:03.800 changed forever. Nineties shots, Um is devastating. Sixty of the 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:06.600 bullets actually hit him, about sixty and first of all, 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.680 it was more than nineties shots. But um, you know, 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:13.639 sixty of the bullets actually hit his body, and the 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:19.000 majority of the bullets that hit him were in his torso. Um, 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:21.799 so they were down low, which means that he got 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.400 hit a lot while he was actually on the ground, um, 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:29.280 you know. And the police their position is that they 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:33.160 saw of shot fired, like the flash of a shot 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.200 being fired while he was in the car. But they 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.360 but I don't think there's anyone disputing that when he 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.480 got out the car and as he's running, you can 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:45.800 clearly see from the video that there is no gun. 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:50.600 He is not turned towards the police, uh, pointing anything 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:56.000 at them. Um. And so the messaging of the attorneys Robert, 0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:00.520 excuse me, Robert de Cello, Robert de Cello, uh and 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:04.680 his team. Their message is there should have been zero shots. 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:08.600 He was zero threat, zero shots. And I think the 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:12.480 larger framing that we have to talk about is how 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:19.120 police seem to be able to apprehend murder mass murderers. 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:23.160 So at this point, this is a traffic stop that 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:27.200 has put them in contact with Jalen Walker. A traffic 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:30.480 stop and let's just say that he shot a shot 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:34.040 in the car. You know, the the attorneys at this point, 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:39.160 they're still dealing with ballistics and investigation, but I'm just 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.680 gonna go with the police's worst case scenario that he 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:46.880 shot a shot inside the car um and as a 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:50.040 result of that, they say they felt threatened. But what 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:53.720 I don't understand is why they don't feel threatened by 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:58.760 individuals who shoot mass They first of all, they're looking 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:02.320 for you. They are literally looking at it in this situation. 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.800 They're not even looking for Jalen for a crime that 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.640 is a dangerous crime. They're looking for him. They're pulling 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:12.520 him over because of a traffic stop. And two officers 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.719 only tasted him right, So that means that at least 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.800 two people were close enough and saw that he wasn't 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.520 a threat to the point that they needed deadly force. 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.560 So they chased him right, and then all these other 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:32.600 officers opened fire. But we just watched them pull over, kindly, 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:36.200 pull over the young man or the guy who where 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:40.640 was he at in um Chicago and Illinois and Illinois 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:44.200 where on the fourth July perade? We watched them get 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:47.000 him out of the car on the ground. I'm just 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:50.360 trying to figure out when when you approached him, knowing 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:55.200 that he just shot people at a parade? Yeah, well 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:57.000 you didn't feel like he was a threat after he 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.720 just killed People's just a common question for me. It's 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:03.159 just like we keep having the same same dialogue, and 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:07.400 it's because there is this notion, there's this narrative that 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.800 blacks are dangerous, right, don't matter what scenario we're in, 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.839 we are always seem to be a threat to their life. 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:17.440 And it's believable because that is what this structure, this 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.440 system has created, right they have they fed that to 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:24.400 the police. You know, I've I've seen many different videos 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:28.039 and pictures where they do target practice for black men 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:32.279 as the you know, as the perpetrators. So this is 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:35.360 a visual, this is a mental thing that has been 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:38.919 passed down inside of the police structure. That has to 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:43.200 be broken down. It has to be completely dismantled, and 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.560 it has to be retraining. It has to be re 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:51.520 you know, approach to how we we police our communities, 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.520 you know, right. But you know the thing about it 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.240 is that you I don't know if you can retrain 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.520 that mindset. I don't know if you can retrain that mindset, 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:04.520 because it's not just in the police department. It's systemic. 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:10.120 It's everywhere everywhere we go, we are, we are, we 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:13.880 are seeing everywhere. I mean, I was shopping, and I 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:16.520 think I mentioned this before. I was shopping one day 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:20.880 and a lady asked me, was I an entertainer? She 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:24.960 in her mind could not imagine. She can't fathom that 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:29.760 a black girl is in the store in Neiman marcus 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:33.160 able to purchase whatever it is that I want. She's 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:35.719 not she she just so in her mind it has 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.479 to be entertainment. And I told her, I know, I'm 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:42.040 not a singer, a dancer. I'm also not the wife 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.800 of us, of a sports player, none of those things. 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:46.919 And she's like, you know, and and of course once 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:50.279 I said it, she realized what she had done, and 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.039 how I was offended, not because I think any of 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.720 those things are bad, because if I was an entertainer, 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.640 I should also nobody should even be asking me what 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:02.920 I do right that that's the only way that you 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.719 would be able to do these things. That is different. 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.440 But but what I'm what I will say is it's 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.560 something to say to what Ben Crumb said, you know 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:18.400 how we have to make it unsustainable. We have to 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:20.720 put the value of black life to a point where 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:24.400 it is unsustainable, right where we have to make accountability 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:28.080 to the point where it's so many officers going to jail, 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.960 the state is losing so much money that they say 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.760 to theirselves, we have to restructure how we look at 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:38.200 this right because it's not conducive anymore. Right now, if 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.080 you you shoot a black man, you say you fear 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.560 for your life, you're gonna destinuty for a little while, 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.400 and you're back on the force. When that's no longer 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.760 the reality, right when when every time you do it 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.000 you're held accountable, the state is losing millions of dollars, 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.600 then it's not a sustainable method. Is no longer conducive 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:57.720 to what it is they're trying to accomplish. So that's 0:07:57.720 --> 0:07:59.680 what I would go is. You know, so I hear 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.520 you say, and can't retrain, But you you can because 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:07.200 when when when when, um, when the accountability and the 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:11.160 consequences for taking a black life become too much for 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.480 you to have to deal with, you'll figure it out. 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.480 Oh no, I I agree a hundred percent that the 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:21.520 only way to deal with it is through accountability, right 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:25.320 like you've gotta per walk people. And then folks start 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.880 saying whether I'm racist or not, I know, I can't 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:31.480 carry out these things, um, you know, and and and 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.559 get away with this. So I certainly agree with you 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:39.319 that that's the only method or the only strategy, uh, 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:43.280 the only only remedy. Remedy, that's the right word, that 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.520 we can use to put an end or at least 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:51.360 to significantly reduce the amount of brutality that's happening by 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:55.080 police departments across the nation. Um. But because I don't believe, 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:58.960 I don't think that you can retrain. However, many years 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:02.000 where are we this, you know, beyond four hundred years? 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.280 First of all, we were seeing when we were in 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:08.760 um At, at home in the motherland in Africa, they 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:12.880 saw us as potential to be used as cattle, as 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:18.920 enslaved individuals. So we've always been seen as as Africans, 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:22.600 We've all always been seen and demeaned. The way in 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:26.960 which we were viewed was always as a servant um 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:31.560 as was always as something dirty and bad um, something 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:35.880 to be used. And so that has only grown over time. 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:40.480 And as people learned that we we uh, that they 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:44.480 that they could use their white skin to um to 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.760 enslave us, they've only found new ways to be able 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.160 to do that. And you can't tell me at all 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.319 that the police department is not a part of it. 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:57.040 So that's just my my personal opinion. But let's talk 0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:00.760 about some more of the news stories that's happening out here. 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:05.880 UM in Arizona, there is speaking of policing. Here we 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:09.040 go again. A new bill has been passed and actually 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:13.280 I think I heard something very similar being stated by 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:17.079 Mayor Eric Adams in New York about putting a certain 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:22.120 amount of distance between people filming incidents um with when 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:26.040 you know police encounters. Uh. And so now Arizona has 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:31.080 eight feet as the distance. Now here's what I will say. 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:38.640 I do understand that you that you can't have officers 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:43.600 engaging and arresting somebody, and then you have people who 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:48.520 are affiliated or not right there up on top of 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:52.600 the police. I can completely understand how an officer is 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:56.040 not gonna feel comfortable. Different things can happen. Somebody could 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.000 grab your gun. Who knows, right, so I can I 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:02.080 can see that. I'm not sure. I think eight feet, though, 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:08.280 is giving them enough space to be able to find 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:12.600 ways to sort of distract and or um what's the 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:16.320 word to to to like to cover up whatever they're doing. 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:20.920 I'm sorry what you're saying, manipulate. Manipulate is a real 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:24.080 good word to use to you know, they can find 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:28.320 a way to cover the shot, to put their back 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.080 in a certain way. And what we've had up until now, 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:34.480 these videos have given you a real, like, you know, 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:39.120 a clear view into the incident and what's going on. 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:43.040 So I think eight feet might actually create some distance 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:47.400 that is not necessarily helpful for victims of police abuse. 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.120 I mean, like you said, I do see the need 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:54.679 to if you're trying to apprehend someone who is you know, 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.520 accusing of crime, that you gotta every hand. You do 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:01.280 want the police to be able to have space, you know, 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:04.920 to make a rest and deal with situations accordinated. But 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:09.040 we do also one people who who are able to 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:11.319 record to make sure that it's going down right. I 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:15.520 don't know if six ft maybe six ft probably eight 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:17.680 feet might be a little, but I think six ft 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.480 a southern but eight feet at that point, they can 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.160 they can play with the distance, right, and that's what 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.520 they're gonna do anyway, you could be if you eight feet, 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:27.720 if you're exactly they're gonna walk up to you and 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.880 stay back up right, they walk up to you, you 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.680 still closer to them. That's what they've been doing. So 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.959 you know, it's it's another tactic, you know. I don't 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.000 I don't know whether it's necessarily good or bad. You know, 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:42.040 we'll have to see how it pans out. We have 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:45.640 to see how they utilize and how they don't utilize 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:48.280 that they actually respect it, and see if it's something 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:50.760 that they utilize it to where it is able to 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:54.120 manipulate the situation to where it doesn't benefit the citizens. So, 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:57.760 you know, I think only time will tell with that situation. 0:12:57.880 --> 0:12:59.800 But what I do like is the fact that you 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.360 chemical because a lot of these officers are trying to 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.800 tell you that you can't even record right now. But 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:09.199 I'm glad that we were making insane that you can 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:14.200 at least giving some level of acknowledgement where it's necessary 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:17.000 that where you are legally able to do something. So 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:19.720 we'll see our advans. Yeah, I mean, well we will see. 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:22.679 But I think it's two things that need to happen. 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.600 Number One, we have to make sure if you are 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:28.360 living in a local district and you're listening to the 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.440 sound of my voice and you're living somewhere because you know, 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:33.680 some of us say we don't care about politics, and 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.559 I don't care about that. I ain't even know politics. 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:40.920 That's for y'all. Well, here's the political part of where 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:45.120 your voice counts around this filming issue. Police need to 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:49.319 have on their body cameras. I don't know many districts, 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.439 are state cities or what have you that don't have 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.480 body cameras as a part of their natural they're you know, 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:59.679 their normal protocol at this point, but there probably are some, 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.680 and you need to check to make sure that your 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:08.000 city council has forced the local police department to wear 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:12.160 body cameras. And now what we know is that oftentimes everybody, 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.440 all the officers body cameras were off at the same time, 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.520 or at least the one or two who have their 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:22.400 body cameras in a particular position to get another view 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:26.240 of the incident, their cameras that just happen to be off. 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:29.080 So that's something that we have to be pushing that 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:33.120 the that the the city Council needs to enforce a 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.320 rule that says if an officer is caught without that 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:40.600 body camera working and on, somebody needs to be held accountable. 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.720 So if the if the officer has already reported that 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:46.360 his camera is not working and nothing has been done 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:49.680 to fix it, who's accountable for that? If the officer 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:52.880 has been notorious for not turning on his camera or 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:56.120 her camera, who's responsible for that. But there needs to 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:59.880 be mechanisms in place to ensure that people are wearing 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.840 a body cameras. The second thing is if you are 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:06.720 a person who is filming an incident, you have to 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:10.800 immediately let your mind click into the fact that it 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:14.520 is not the time to be but so emotional, because 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.320 what we have, What what I see is people get 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.960 so emotional about what they're filming that the cameras swinging 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:24.280 all over the place and they're yelling and screaming over 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:27.520 the footage or whatever. If once you take that camera out, 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:30.720 you're trying to do a job. So you have to 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:33.560 figure out how to calm yourself to the point where 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.960 you are holding the camera in place and where you 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:41.960 also use the the the the feature that allows you 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:45.320 to expand the view. So if they're only giving you 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:48.760 eight feet, one of the things that brings you closer 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:51.720 is to expand the view so you can get a 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:55.800 little closer, which is zooming in basically on the incident. 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.240 Don't zoom in too much where you can't see, but 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.480 make sure you try to get as close as possible, um, 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:04.120 you know, with your with your camera. But the only 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.600 way you can do that is you have to calm 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:09.480 your own anxiety a little. I'm you know, I'm sure 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:13.200 it's probably already exciting that something crazy is happening, But 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:17.120 you gotta calm your anxiety, use your camera properly, and 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:20.560 try to stay quiet so that you can hear what's 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:24.280 happening and so the audio is clear. Now that I mean, 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:26.320 you know, I don't know. I'm sure there are people 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.080 out here that train folks on how to film incidents, 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:33.240 but that information is worth goal because that that is 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:37.640 the difference between having a very clear George Floyd video 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:41.160 and having other videos where you really can't see what's 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:45.640 going on. The reason why we know that um Jalen 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:48.480 Walker didn't have a weapon on him at the time 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:50.760 that he was shot is because of videos. So it 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:54.920 actually does work. Now, you're right. Look like you said, 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:59.360 there's also emotional situation. People are. You know, they traumatize, 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:01.640 they want to get record, but they also do through 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.520 the motions, so you know, human nature kicks in and 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:07.240 they start yelling and stop I'm using that. So it's 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:09.320 gonna figure out how do you balance that, especially just 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:11.840 for everyday citizens who are just trying to do the 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:14.560 best they can. Just kind of gotta get yourself in 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:16.879 the mindset that once I say that that all of 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.200 us have a job to do and that's about that's 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:22.680 that collective power, right that is knowing that my cell 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:27.240 phone is actually a tool to addressing police violence and 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:31.000 other bad incidents happening in our society. And so when 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.359 I have my cell phone, I can't just think of 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:35.919 myself as just you know, I'm just I just was taping. 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:38.480 Now we have to be like, you know what, I'm 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:40.639 taping this and if I was taping it, if I 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:43.639 know my video is gonna make it to ABC, CBS, 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:48.480 you know, Rolling mar In, CNN and every Revolt and 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:53.600 everywhere else and street politicians. So anyway, that's that. So 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.359 Hunt Tobiden gives his family a lot of help, Like 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:59.960 they go through a lot with Hunt Tobiden. He already 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:01.920 is in some other trouble that I don't even care 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:04.800 to know the details of it. But um, he was 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:07.840 already in some stuff. They were already talking about something. 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:09.600 I guess that has to do with money. I don't know, 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.719 but you guys could go look it up. Um uh. 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:15.760 And you know, it seems that because his father's president, 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:20.600 no one is looking to uh, you know, pursue charges 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.639 or whatever against him. But I've heard several times folks 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:27.199 talking about, you know, once uh Joe Biden is no 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:29.840 longer president, Hunter Biden is going to have some issues. 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:32.040 But it seems like he's just kind of like a 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.959 wild guy in the family. And I don't know, you know, 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:38.280 the investigations and all of that are still unfolding. But 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:42.480 this latest footage, which the picture of him with the 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.160 two women is you know, hey, I don't know, it's 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:46.880 he's single or is he married? I don't know. See, 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:49.119 I don't know a lot about Hunter Biden, but you 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:52.000 know him with two women. Hey, that's if that's his prerogative. 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:54.959 It is what it is. It's the drugs, the crack 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:59.720 and the arguing with the prostitute and something else that 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:03.119 they claimed it's him in these in this audio and 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:07.760 in some of these videos, So they're investigating that. Um. 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.760 While being at the White House the other day for 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:18.679 the signing of the UM uh, the the Safer Communities Act, UM, 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:21.399 you know, a man jumped up in the audience and 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:26.119 started asking questions about Hunter Biden and UM. You know 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:30.200 he was obviously speaking out of term, doing protesting if 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:33.359 you will, UM. And you could tell that Joe Biden 0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:35.959 kind of stopped in his tracks to really hear what 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.520 the man had to say. Uh. And I think I'm 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:41.600 sure it's pretty disturbing to have people rolling up on 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:44.159 you talking about what's up with Hunter Biden and is 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:47.320 he using crack and whatever else? So they got problems 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:51.200 over there with the sun. Yeah, I mean it's obviously 0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:54.119 has he's dealing with some issues. And I think it 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:58.760 comes back, you know, like like I've always said, I 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:02.120 don't deal with government, and I'm don't really care about 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:06.439 any politician. I'm not you don't care about politicians. We 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:09.280 have great friends that are politicians, but I don't really care. 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:11.879 I care about my friends who happened to be politicians 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:15.840 right there there. They're good people, got into offices and 0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:18.879 they're able to do the best they can with politics 0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:21.360 does not fully allow you to be where you are. 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:23.720 And a lot of those people in those positions of 0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:26.160 people that I would never vote for or never cared 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:28.840 about if I didn't have to vote. Right, So when 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:32.920 we look at the presidential situation, is what it is, right, 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:35.120 you know, at this point, for me, I think Joe 0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:38.399 Biden is doing what he feels the best he can do. 0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:42.800 I think the destructures that already haven't been set in place, 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:45.760 you know, make it a lot harder. You know, we're 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:48.680 looking dissent it and spring call all those things that 0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:51.159 make it a lot harder. I do see, you know, 0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:53.240 just like you said that the bill that he passed, 0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:56.880 the Safer Communities Act, it's something that's definitely needed. He's 0:20:56.920 --> 0:20:59.760 doing a lot more executive orders that he's trying you know, 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:03.479 they're actually trying to see to circumvent and get in 0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:06.400 front of a lot of you know, harm that's being 0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:09.840 done on the opposite end. You know what, all most 0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:12.080 people are gonna point to the ninety four Crime Bill 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:15.000 and talk about how you talking about how people are 0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:18.000 going to jail for crack and for five years for 0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:20.280 a little piece of crack, you do five years, and 0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:23.080 how this was the bill that he had and most 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:25.200 people are gonna talk about that, and that's something that 0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:28.040 it's going to be a part of Joe Biden's legacy. Right, 0:21:28.080 --> 0:21:30.920 So when we look at what Hunter Biden is doing 0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:32.920 right now, and that's gonna be the main thing everybody 0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:35.880 focuses on. Everybody's gonna focus on your son is out 0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:38.640 here smoking crack, you're doing all that, but he's doing 0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:41.320 five years in prison, right and and that's what that 0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:46.520 is something that it's logical, right, it's it's it is 0:21:46.520 --> 0:21:49.159 a good thing to say. People have the right to 0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:51.240 say that that you have the right to answer those questions. 0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:54.120 A lot of our kids, a lot of our brothers 0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:58.160 fathers did or doing thirty or forty years for crack, right, 0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:01.679 And Hunter Biden's around here taking films while he he 0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:06.160 has cracked you know, allegedly, and there's nothing happening to him. So, 0:22:06.680 --> 0:22:10.919 you know, Joe Biden has his own personal things he 0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:13.480 has to deal with along with what he has to 0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:16.160 do with for being president. I'm what I would say 0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:19.960 is that the Safer Communities Act, it's something that's definitely needed. 0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:24.680 It's gonna provide more resources to people in the communities 0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:27.040 who are doing the work, who are trying to end 0:22:27.080 --> 0:22:30.919 gun violence, who are violence interrupters, who are you know, 0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:36.600 trained in the escalation of violent situation in our community. 0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:38.840 So that's gonna do a lot to help. But on 0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:42.440 this situation with him and his son and that Ninty 0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:44.200 for crack Gold, he don't have to deal with that. 0:22:44.320 --> 0:22:46.960 His critics ain't gonna stop. They're never gonna stop talking 0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:50.360 about that. So you know, Joe Biden has his work 0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:54.480 cut out. I mean, here's how I see it. I 0:22:54.520 --> 0:22:59.320 think that if we're all being honest, I don't care 0:22:59.320 --> 0:23:02.280 who the hell you are, whether you are an elected official, 0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:07.400 whether you are the holiest, the pope to the preacher, 0:23:08.440 --> 0:23:13.000 the good grandmama from the community, there's always gonna be 0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:16.680 somebody in your family that keep up ship all the time. 0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:19.399 They got something going on, and you are not getting 0:23:19.440 --> 0:23:25.320 ready to go turn your your problematic niece, nephew, child, grandson, 0:23:26.000 --> 0:23:29.320 or whatever over to the authorities. You're gonna do everything 0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:32.359 you can to try to keep it quiet and try 0:23:32.440 --> 0:23:35.960 to get them help. Now, if they're killing people or 0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:39.120 you know, taking people's lives from me, I've already made 0:23:39.160 --> 0:23:41.600
