WEBVTT - Kentucky: The Fight Against the Unjust 0:00:03.760 --> 0:00:07.200 That's what's a family. It's your girl, Tamika D. 0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:10.040 Mallory and it's your boy my song in general. 0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:13.319 And we are your host of street politicians, the place 0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:17.240 in the streets and politics meet. What's going on, my son, Lennon. 0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:21.120 We are here in Louisville, you know, the work in Tucky, 0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:24.800 you know, doing a bunch of work, so trying to 0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:26.560 do a million things. But we had to make sure 0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:30.920 that we supplied our street politician family, you know, with 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:33.640 with's our news and with you know, our commentary and 0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:34.640 things they need to know. 0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:35.400 So we're here. 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:39.040 That's right, that's right. It's hot Kentucky. That's what I 0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:40.720 call it hot Kentucky. 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:42.279 It's hello here. 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:45.360 It is it is, and it's also going to be 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:49.760 a hot several months that will be working in Kentucky 0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:54.480 to stop Daniel Cameron, the current Attorney General, from becoming 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:58.400 governor of the state. But those of you who do 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:03.560 not know, uh, Daniel Cameron is the Attorney General of Kentucky. 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:09.839 He's the current attorney general who was tasked with with 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:14.480 with finding justice for Breonna Taylor's death, for the murder 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:18.440 of Breonna Taylor. And you know what happened was that 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:22.000 the local police mean, excuse me, the local government and Louisville, 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:26.640 Kentucky could have prosecuted the officers officers, but they did not. 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:32.679 They turned over the investigation to the Attorney General's office. 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:37.440 And it's important to note that the attorney general here 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:41.000 it has a deep love for police and for all 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:46.760 conservative things. So he had already made statements, whether it 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:50.440 be in his campaign fundraisers or at other times, that 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:53.160 he supports the police and that he would do whatever 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:58.040 was necessary necessary to continue that allegiance to police. 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:00.640 And so he's done that. He has really he stood 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:01.440 very much. 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.360 So in his word, he's been very clear and he 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:10.800 basically he stuck to that in the case against the officers. 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:12.680 Or for the officers who. 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:17.160 Killed Brianna when and this is not information that we're 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:20.280 coming forward with. We're talking about what the jurors said, 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:23.120 the people who were in the grand jury proceedings that 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:27.160 had the ability to indict those officers for killing Brianna Taylor, 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:30.000 they came forward and said they would never presented with 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:34.079 a case that would have allowed them to indict for Brianna. 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:38.880 They were presented with something about the wall and how 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:42.640 the neighbors were impacted by the shooting that night, but 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:46.560 they were never presented with charges for Brianna Taylor. And 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:50.400 so when Daniel Cameron came forward to say that the 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:56.760 jury did not find charges against those officers for Brianna specifically, 0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:59.880 he basically made it seem like the jury looked at 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:04.239 all the evidence, like he presented a case and they 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:05.799 did not find they found that. 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.640 These officers were not guilty of murdering her. That is 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.519 not the case. He lied exactly. He lied. 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:13.320 He lied to the family, he lied to the public, 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.600 he lied to the jurors, and the jurors again several 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:18.240 jurors came forward to say this. 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:20.680 And so now he wants to be. 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:25.560 Rewarded for disrespecting Breonna's family and for circumventing the process 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:29.160 for justice by becoming in going to a higher level 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.639 than attorney general and becoming governor of the state of Kentucky. 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.920 And we certainly just cannot allow that to happen, not 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:36.400 at all. 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:41.240 And let's say happy birthday to Brianna Taylor. Absolutely today 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:44.400 is her birthday. When you see this, it would have 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:47.160 been her birthday. She would have been thirty years old. 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:51.120 So we say happy Heavenly birthday to Rina, you know, 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:52.080 and in her honor. 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:54.880 You know, we've decided. 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.680 That we're willing to work and do whatever we have 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.320 to do to make sure that Daniel came in doesn't 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:04.240 become the governor. You know, I think for me, it's 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:06.880 just the lack of character as a man, you know, 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:09.320 for you to be to call yourself a man and 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.560 look at a mother in her face and lied to her, 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.960 you know, to intentionally deny her justice and then brag 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:17.440 about it. 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:17.919 You know. 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:21.440 Part of his campaign and his video, he talks about 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.719 how he wouldn't be you know, he stood up to 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.600 the protesters and he wouldn't be bullied, and he took 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:31.320 pride in the fact that he denied a black woman justice. 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.120 He took pride in the fact that he allowed the 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:37.160 officers who killed Breonna Taylor not to even be charged, 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:40.479 not to stand there they in court and see or 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.320 even be getting the opportunity to be charged. He took 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.680 pride in that. So any man who would take pride 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:50.160 in Calard behavior definitely shouldn't be a governor. He shouldn't 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.039 even be the attorney general, but he definitely can't be 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:56.520 the governor. So, you know, on Beonna Taylor's birthday. You know, 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.520 we valued to come back here and do whatever is 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:00.920 necessary to make sure that doesn't happen. 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:03.920 Yes, and so for folks who are wondering what that 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:09.880 looks like, we are opening two offices. There are two 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:14.920 cities in Kentucky that have a number of voters who 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:20.080 we believe represent different values from the Attorney General, the 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:24.520 black and brown community, people who are in underserved communities 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:28.480 when you look at his campaign, and also just the 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.719 values that he stands for, who he is and the 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:35.120 people he's aligned with, whether it be Mitch McConnell, Donald Trump, 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:39.920 and others. We believe that in two specific cities. Of course, 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:43.760 there are other counties and smaller areas around the entire 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:47.919 state of Kentucky, but specifically in Louisville, Kentucky, which is 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.800 where Breonna Taylor live and where we were stationed for 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.800 four months while we lived here fighting every day for her, 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.840 where we've continued to visit for three years. We've been 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:01.080 going back and forth to Kentucky. It's no it's no 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:04.120 stranger to any I mean not strange information to any 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.279 of you who are listening and those of you watching. 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.520 So here in Louisville, Kentucky, where we are today, and 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:14.800 also in Lexington, Kentucky. Lexington is another area that has 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.479 a high population of people who look like us and 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.560 people who come from the communities that we serve and 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.839 the communities that we come from. And so Until Freedom 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:27.880 is opening two offices, one in Louisville and one in 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:31.000 Lexington from now until the election in November. It is 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.160 not a long time. It is that's a short period 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:38.800 of time. From now in June to November. We've got 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.480 a short period of time to fight this fight. And 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.840 sometimes that works better for our people because folks get 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.920 the opportunity to stay focused. And the main thing that 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.840 we need, in addition to people coming down here and 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:55.840 spending weekends and week days at events, knocking on doors, 0:06:56.080 --> 0:07:00.440 showing up all over the city the state of Kentucky, 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:03.480 but specifically in these two areas where we're going to 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:06.240 be focusing heavily, we need that support. 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:09.479 We need people to be door. 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:12.679 Knockers, to be to make phone calls, even from wherever 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:14.280 you are. You can be in New York City, we 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:16.920 can get you a voter role and you can call 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:20.040 and inform people about who Daniel Cameron is and you 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.760 can work with us, but also it is not going 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:23.360 to be free. 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:24.440 It costs us. 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:28.240 We spent over a million dollars when we lived in 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:33.160 Kentucky during that four month period, between our housing, the 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:36.240 food to feed all of the twenty five activists who 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.200 were here on a regular basis living with us throughout 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.960 the protest. We also supported a number of organizations. We 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:46.960 gave out hundreds of thousands of dollars to smaller grassroots 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:50.560 groups and people who have not you know, don't necessarily 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:54.480 have access to funding. We fed over four thousand people 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.560 by giving out food and giving out produce and other things. 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.360 Shout out to our brother Traded True, who helped to 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.200 donate several trucks. 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.040 Of food, so we had that going on. 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:09.440 We had many different celebrities that came in using their shows, 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:13.680 whether it be Love and Hip Hop or Atlanta Housewives, 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:18.440 and just so many different people. Earned Roland who works 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:22.680 in the NBA. He had several athletes to come and 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.480 be a part of our efforts. And it costs money 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.360 to facilitate all of those activities. It costs money to 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:32.000 facilitate hotels for some of those individuals. Some of them 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:35.600 paid for themselves, others, we had to cover their expenses. 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.880 And then finally, you know, a lot of our people, 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:42.280 they have issues. People are living on the street literally 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.120 while they protests, living on the street, not having food 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:48.560 all day. And so in addition to feeding mass numbers 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:52.040 of people and knocking on we knocked on thousands, hundreds 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:55.280 of thousands of doors to get people out to the protests, 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:58.000 to explain, explain to people what was going on, and 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:01.360 to keep the local community informed. We delivered boxes of 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:04.200 food to our elders and to families. We did all 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.840 of that work for a four month period and some 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:10.599 beyond that. But we also had to help and support 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.360 individuals who were in need who are a part of 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.640 the protest community. So these this is a it's a 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:17.280 lot of work. 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:18.400 It's not easy. 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.280 It's a lot of work. It takes a lot of resources, 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.920 and we cannot do it on air. And I'm telling 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:28.079 you right now, with all the things we're doing, opening 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.240 the two offices, everything that we're doing, we do not 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:34.320 have the resources. But we believe, we believe in all 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:37.480 of you, We believe in God most of all, and 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:40.840 we think to meet a Palmer.
