Speaker 1: That's what's a family. It's your girl, Tamika D.
Speaker 2: Mallory and it's your boy my song in general.
Speaker 1: And we are your host of street politicians, the place
Speaker 1: in the streets and politics meet. What's going on, my son, Lennon.
Speaker 3: We are here in Louisville, you know, the work in Tucky,
Speaker 3: you know, doing a bunch of work, so trying to
Speaker 3: do a million things. But we had to make sure
Speaker 3: that we supplied our street politician family, you know, with
Speaker 3: with's our news and with you know, our commentary and
Speaker 3: things they need to know.
Speaker 2: So we're here.
Speaker 4: That's right, that's right. It's hot Kentucky. That's what I
Speaker 4: call it hot Kentucky.
Speaker 2: It's hello here.
Speaker 4: It is it is, and it's also going to be
Speaker 4: a hot several months that will be working in Kentucky
Speaker 4: to stop Daniel Cameron, the current Attorney General, from becoming
Speaker 4: governor of the state. But those of you who do
Speaker 4: not know, uh, Daniel Cameron is the Attorney General of Kentucky.
Speaker 4: He's the current attorney general who was tasked with with
Speaker 4: with finding justice for Breonna Taylor's death, for the murder
Speaker 4: of Breonna Taylor. And you know what happened was that
Speaker 4: the local police mean, excuse me, the local government and Louisville,
Speaker 4: Kentucky could have prosecuted the officers officers, but they did not.
Speaker 4: They turned over the investigation to the Attorney General's office.
Speaker 4: And it's important to note that the attorney general here
Speaker 4: it has a deep love for police and for all
Speaker 4: conservative things. So he had already made statements, whether it
Speaker 4: be in his campaign fundraisers or at other times, that
Speaker 4: he supports the police and that he would do whatever
Speaker 4: was necessary necessary to continue that allegiance to police.
Speaker 1: And so he's done that. He has really he stood
Speaker 1: very much.
Speaker 4: So in his word, he's been very clear and he
Speaker 4: basically he stuck to that in the case against the officers.
Speaker 1: Or for the officers who.
Speaker 4: Killed Brianna when and this is not information that we're
Speaker 4: coming forward with. We're talking about what the jurors said,
Speaker 4: the people who were in the grand jury proceedings that
Speaker 4: had the ability to indict those officers for killing Brianna Taylor,
Speaker 4: they came forward and said they would never presented with
Speaker 4: a case that would have allowed them to indict for Brianna.
Speaker 4: They were presented with something about the wall and how
Speaker 4: the neighbors were impacted by the shooting that night, but
Speaker 4: they were never presented with charges for Brianna Taylor. And
Speaker 4: so when Daniel Cameron came forward to say that the
Speaker 4: jury did not find charges against those officers for Brianna specifically,
Speaker 4: he basically made it seem like the jury looked at
Speaker 4: all the evidence, like he presented a case and they
Speaker 4: did not find they found that.
Speaker 1: These officers were not guilty of murdering her. That is
Speaker 1: not the case. He lied exactly. He lied.
Speaker 4: He lied to the family, he lied to the public,
Speaker 4: he lied to the jurors, and the jurors again several
Speaker 4: jurors came forward to say this.
Speaker 1: And so now he wants to be.
Speaker 4: Rewarded for disrespecting Breonna's family and for circumventing the process
Speaker 4: for justice by becoming in going to a higher level
Speaker 4: than attorney general and becoming governor of the state of Kentucky.
Speaker 4: And we certainly just cannot allow that to happen, not
Speaker 4: at all.
Speaker 3: And let's say happy birthday to Brianna Taylor. Absolutely today
Speaker 3: is her birthday. When you see this, it would have
Speaker 3: been her birthday. She would have been thirty years old.
Speaker 3: So we say happy Heavenly birthday to Rina, you know,
Speaker 3: and in her honor.
Speaker 2: You know, we've decided.
Speaker 3: That we're willing to work and do whatever we have
Speaker 3: to do to make sure that Daniel came in doesn't
Speaker 3: become the governor. You know, I think for me, it's
Speaker 3: just the lack of character as a man, you know,
Speaker 3: for you to be to call yourself a man and
Speaker 3: look at a mother in her face and lied to her,
Speaker 3: you know, to intentionally deny her justice and then brag
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: Part of his campaign and his video, he talks about
Speaker 3: how he wouldn't be you know, he stood up to
Speaker 3: the protesters and he wouldn't be bullied, and he took
Speaker 3: pride in the fact that he denied a black woman justice.
Speaker 3: He took pride in the fact that he allowed the
Speaker 3: officers who killed Breonna Taylor not to even be charged,
Speaker 3: not to stand there they in court and see or
Speaker 3: even be getting the opportunity to be charged. He took
Speaker 3: pride in that. So any man who would take pride
Speaker 3: in Calard behavior definitely shouldn't be a governor. He shouldn't
Speaker 3: even be the attorney general, but he definitely can't be
Speaker 3: the governor. So, you know, on Beonna Taylor's birthday. You know,
Speaker 3: we valued to come back here and do whatever is
Speaker 3: necessary to make sure that doesn't happen.
Speaker 4: Yes, and so for folks who are wondering what that
Speaker 4: looks like, we are opening two offices. There are two
Speaker 4: cities in Kentucky that have a number of voters who
Speaker 4: we believe represent different values from the Attorney General, the
Speaker 4: black and brown community, people who are in underserved communities
Speaker 4: when you look at his campaign, and also just the
Speaker 4: values that he stands for, who he is and the
Speaker 4: people he's aligned with, whether it be Mitch McConnell, Donald Trump,
Speaker 4: and others. We believe that in two specific cities. Of course,
Speaker 4: there are other counties and smaller areas around the entire
Speaker 4: state of Kentucky, but specifically in Louisville, Kentucky, which is
Speaker 4: where Breonna Taylor live and where we were stationed for
Speaker 4: four months while we lived here fighting every day for her,
Speaker 4: where we've continued to visit for three years. We've been
Speaker 4: going back and forth to Kentucky. It's no it's no
Speaker 4: stranger to any I mean not strange information to any
Speaker 4: of you who are listening and those of you watching.
Speaker 4: So here in Louisville, Kentucky, where we are today, and
Speaker 4: also in Lexington, Kentucky. Lexington is another area that has
Speaker 4: a high population of people who look like us and
Speaker 4: people who come from the communities that we serve and
Speaker 4: the communities that we come from. And so Until Freedom
Speaker 4: is opening two offices, one in Louisville and one in
Speaker 4: Lexington from now until the election in November. It is
Speaker 4: not a long time. It is that's a short period
Speaker 4: of time. From now in June to November. We've got
Speaker 4: a short period of time to fight this fight. And
Speaker 4: sometimes that works better for our people because folks get
Speaker 4: the opportunity to stay focused. And the main thing that
Speaker 4: we need, in addition to people coming down here and
Speaker 4: spending weekends and week days at events, knocking on doors,
Speaker 4: showing up all over the city the state of Kentucky,
Speaker 4: but specifically in these two areas where we're going to
Speaker 4: be focusing heavily, we need that support.
Speaker 1: We need people to be door.
Speaker 4: Knockers, to be to make phone calls, even from wherever
Speaker 4: you are. You can be in New York City, we
Speaker 4: can get you a voter role and you can call
Speaker 4: and inform people about who Daniel Cameron is and you
Speaker 4: can work with us, but also it is not going
Speaker 4: to be free.
Speaker 1: It costs us.
Speaker 4: We spent over a million dollars when we lived in
Speaker 4: Kentucky during that four month period, between our housing, the
Speaker 4: food to feed all of the twenty five activists who
Speaker 4: were here on a regular basis living with us throughout
Speaker 4: the protest. We also supported a number of organizations. We
Speaker 4: gave out hundreds of thousands of dollars to smaller grassroots
Speaker 4: groups and people who have not you know, don't necessarily
Speaker 4: have access to funding. We fed over four thousand people
Speaker 4: by giving out food and giving out produce and other things.
Speaker 4: Shout out to our brother Traded True, who helped to
Speaker 4: donate several trucks.
Speaker 1: Of food, so we had that going on.
Speaker 4: We had many different celebrities that came in using their shows,
Speaker 4: whether it be Love and Hip Hop or Atlanta Housewives,
Speaker 4: and just so many different people. Earned Roland who works
Speaker 4: in the NBA. He had several athletes to come and
Speaker 4: be a part of our efforts. And it costs money
Speaker 4: to facilitate all of those activities. It costs money to
Speaker 4: facilitate hotels for some of those individuals. Some of them
Speaker 4: paid for themselves, others, we had to cover their expenses.
Speaker 4: And then finally, you know, a lot of our people,
Speaker 4: they have issues. People are living on the street literally
Speaker 4: while they protests, living on the street, not having food
Speaker 4: all day. And so in addition to feeding mass numbers
Speaker 4: of people and knocking on we knocked on thousands, hundreds
Speaker 4: of thousands of doors to get people out to the protests,
Speaker 4: to explain, explain to people what was going on, and
Speaker 4: to keep the local community informed. We delivered boxes of
Speaker 4: food to our elders and to families. We did all
Speaker 4: of that work for a four month period and some
Speaker 4: beyond that. But we also had to help and support
Speaker 4: individuals who were in need who are a part of
Speaker 4: the protest community. So these this is a it's a
Speaker 4: lot of work.
Speaker 1: It's not easy.
Speaker 4: It's a lot of work. It takes a lot of resources,
Speaker 4: and we cannot do it on air. And I'm telling
Speaker 4: you right now, with all the things we're doing, opening
Speaker 4: the two offices, everything that we're doing, we do not
Speaker 4: have the resources. But we believe, we believe in all
Speaker 4: of you, We believe in God most of all, and
Speaker 4: we think to meet a Palmer. Brionna Taylor's mother for
Speaker 4: today donating to Until Freedom and asking people in Brionna
Speaker 4: Taylor's name to donate in her in the honor of
Speaker 4: her thirtieth birthday, to donate thirty dollars, three hundred dollars,
Speaker 4: three thousand dollars and even more than that to support
Speaker 4: until Freedom and what we are doing here and can
Speaker 4: and so again, we believe in God, we believe in
Speaker 4: all of you, and we are grateful to everybody that's
Speaker 4: already supported us, but we need support right now to
Speaker 4: help us do the work of stopping Daniel Cameron from
Speaker 4: being rewarded for being a hindrance to justice, an obstructionist
Speaker 4: to justice. So thank y'all for the support and we
Speaker 4: look forward to continuing, you know, our work with you
Speaker 4: all today. You know, as I sit and really just
Speaker 4: think about so many things that's happening in this country,
Speaker 4: my thought of the day is, I wonder if people
Speaker 4: understand all that it takes to lead a movement and
Speaker 4: their personal role.
Speaker 1: People often say to us, how do y'all survive? Like
Speaker 1: where does the resources? Where do the resources come from?
Speaker 4: And I would submit to you today that as a
Speaker 4: part of my thought of the day, I would submit
Speaker 4: to you that if you have not donated.
Speaker 1: A dollar, five dollars, ten dollars.
Speaker 4: Barack Obama won his campaign for presidency in both elections
Speaker 4: based upon small donations one dollar, ten dollars, five dollars,
Speaker 4: twenty dollars, one hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: That's how he won his elections. That's the way that.
Speaker 4: They put an army together to raise the money needed
Speaker 4: for him to win.
Speaker 1: And if you haven't given.
Speaker 4: When you're asking how does it happen, know that you
Speaker 4: are a part of that process. Know that you are
Speaker 4: the person that we need to help us do our work.
Speaker 4: So please go to untilfreedom dot com today, Please and
Speaker 4: give thirty dollars, three hundred dollars, three thousand dollars. Call
Speaker 4: your family and friends, do whatever you can. And if
Speaker 4: all you have is three dollars, then what do you say?
Speaker 2: My song?
Speaker 1: All you have is we need? That's right, All you
Speaker 1: have is all we need.
Speaker 4: So we're gonna we usually talk about a bunch of stories,
Speaker 4: but for today, we wanted to take the necessary and
Speaker 4: appropriate time to lay out what's happening in Kentucky and
Speaker 4: the support that we need from you all. And we're
Speaker 4: gonna bring our guests on because we want to talk
Speaker 4: about another issue. It's a little lighter, but hey, if
Speaker 4: you're successful at this next topic, you might be successful at.
Speaker 1: Supporting the movement even more so. Let's bring our guests on.
Speaker 4: So today we're joined by more of our friends. Their
Speaker 4: new friends to you, but they're certainly not new to me.
Speaker 4: Two young sisters that I admire, boss women doing big, big.
Speaker 1: Big, huge, huge, huge huge things.
Speaker 4: You know, first of all, I met I met them
Speaker 4: some time ago, have been following them on the internet,
Speaker 4: and the growth over a short period of time, just
Speaker 4: a few years is really, really truly incredible. I'm so
Speaker 4: out of both of these sisters out there doing big, big,
Speaker 4: big things, and I'm happy that I'm able to introduce
Speaker 4: them to you, my son, and also to introduce them

Speaker 4: And I don't think we haven't seen to Meka since.
Speaker 1: And we read it today.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we see each other at events, but it's always
Speaker 4: like so good. And you know, that's the one thing
Speaker 4: I do love about social media is that I never
Speaker 4: missed anything, because I was just saying before we got
Speaker 4: on here that I was just watching y'all swing around
Speaker 4: looking sexy in Jamaica last week. All week I saw
Speaker 4: a lot of things, ain't gonna tell you, y'all.
Speaker 1: Go check it out. You can see you because it's

Speaker 4: it was an unfiltered vacation.
Speaker 1: We let loose. But that's really what the podcast is about.
Speaker 4: You know, we meet on the Purple couch and we
Speaker 4: kind of let loose and get unfiltered, you know, being
Speaker 4: media girls and working in syndicated radio and on air
Speaker 4: and on.
Speaker 1: Television, like you know, everyone gets to see us in
Speaker 1: our professional realm.
Speaker 4: But when we get to the couch, we really let
Speaker 4: loose and we talk about a pluthor of things. It
Speaker 4: might be talking on vacation, it might be what's going
Speaker 4: on locally in elections and pushing election day and making
Speaker 4: sure that we're out here in the community, getting people
Speaker 4: registered and aware of you know, things like that, and
Speaker 4: we just like to make sure that they understand that
Speaker 4: black women are so multifaceted.
Speaker 1: Like you know, yes, you.
Speaker 4: Saw us shaking it and were doing whatever on Instagram,
Speaker 4: but you know, HBCU brads over here, math grads over here.
Speaker 4: You know, we've been working in our industry right now
Speaker 4: for like over ten years, and so we just like
Speaker 4: to remind everybody that what you see on social media,
Speaker 4: like I think it went up because a lot of
Speaker 4: people don't really get to.
Speaker 1: See us shape right now. We don't show you all
Speaker 1: the regular but we'll be doing over thanks.
Speaker 3: I gonna see what's going on because I got to

Speaker 3: actually physically met you guys, but just watching you grow
Speaker 3: from where you are. So how long have you been
Speaker 3: and how long have you guys been friends? Like, give
Speaker 3: us some backgreasth Well, we don't.
Speaker 1: Even know how we met.
Speaker 4: Actually, we don't remember like the day. We don't remember
Speaker 4: the day or what actually happened. We know we met
Speaker 4: down in the seventy five to seven. Diva was doing
Speaker 4: radio down there at the time, and I was coming
Speaker 4: back and forth because you know, I had a little
Speaker 4: bit I'm a little boyfriend down there and some type
Speaker 4: of way we met and we just automatically clicked. We
Speaker 4: would see each other at events all of the time.
Speaker 4: And if you're not familiar with the seven five seven,
Speaker 4: that's the Virginia Beach Norfolk area I was doing doing radio.
Speaker 4: You know, I went to Virginia State and I started
Speaker 4: doing radio in Richmond, Virginia. Then I went to the
Speaker 4: Virginia Beach area for three four years. That's where Shaye
Speaker 4: happens to be from. And being out of course that
Speaker 4: we're both, you know, media girls in the same realm,
Speaker 4: we just clicked from day one and since then.
Speaker 1: One time I moved to La like a couple of years.
Speaker 4: After doing radio down there like five years after I
Speaker 4: move to LA for a little bit and for the
Speaker 4: pune with her, Like what cool we had like a podcast,
Speaker 4: like one of those podcasting like together, like in the
Speaker 4: same city, and it just so happened. I moved back
Speaker 4: to DC in twenty seventeen and we've had Diva unfiltered
Speaker 4: ever since. And so we're on season three.
Speaker 2: Season four.
Speaker 1: We're right now gring season four right now.
Speaker 4: We're so excited to also announce that we will be

Speaker 4: on Streets TV starting every Thursday at nine pm this month. Yeah,
Speaker 4: just stay tuned to a Deep Unfield Instagram to find
Speaker 4: out the premiere.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be super exciting.
Speaker 4: And I think for us, you know, expanding to a
Speaker 4: new platform and also you know, being radio girls, just
Speaker 4: showing showing women, especially that.
Speaker 1: Like you can you can present all the dimensions of you.
Speaker 4: We find that often, you know, when we show up
Speaker 4: in the world, we're only presenting as one side of us.
Speaker 4: It's almost like a Rubik's cube, you know, you're showing
Speaker 4: one side. It's like the family woman, the mother on
Speaker 4: one side, the career woman on the other side, you know,
Speaker 4: and all of these other facets. But we want women
Speaker 4: and men also to know that it's okay to show.
Speaker 1: Up as all of you and all of those things
Speaker 1: you know still still be true.
Speaker 4: Yeah, my soign I saw one time it came up
Speaker 4: on a brother, Claud. He was in a strip club
Speaker 4: down there, and it was surprised to see you down there.
Speaker 2: I'm like, listen, I go to strip club like you
Speaker 2: go to strip club.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'm at the strip club for the wing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: That's a great I've used that one before. That's my
Speaker 1: that's my favorite excuse the wings. It was nowhere else
Speaker 1: to eat in town. And they tell you the truth.
Speaker 1: It's not even a lie.
Speaker 4: When we land at one o'clock in the morning in
Speaker 4: a particular city, especially these small small towns where everything
Speaker 4: is closed, the only thing open is the strip club.
Speaker 4: And they're the ones that got the wings in, the
Speaker 4: French fries and the food trucks outside.
Speaker 1: That's my favorite. Good Yeah, okay, that's magic. I don't
Speaker 1: know how clean it is.
Speaker 4: I don't know how clean it is, but it certainly
Speaker 4: tastes good. So, but listen, I heard you all talking
Speaker 4: about podcasts and you're talking about radio, and I want
Speaker 4: people to be clear about what you do. So you
Speaker 4: have Diva Unfiltered, which is a podcast that the two
Speaker 4: of you are on together, but you both are on
Speaker 4: top radio stations separately in the DC area as host, right.
Speaker 1: Lily, Yeah, Lily, So, I'm on the.
Speaker 4: Show with Dominique the Diva's afternoon Drive of ninety three
Speaker 4: point nine WKYS. It's syndicated in several other cities, but
Speaker 4: it's based out of DC, right in the nation's capital.
Speaker 4: In DC from three to seven pm, you can catch
Speaker 4: me on the Quick Silver Show with Dominique the Diva,
Speaker 4: and it's syndicated, so we're also in Columbus, and we're
Speaker 4: also in Cincinnati and Baltimore, and that is where you
Speaker 4: can also hear Shae Parker, Honey and the company in
Speaker 4: the mornings on the flagship Baltimore's station, which has been
Speaker 4: like such a joy for me and I'm still new.
Speaker 4: I'm still new in Baltimore, Sorda Kida, but every weekday
Speaker 4: from six am until ten am.
Speaker 1: So it's just.
Speaker 4: Funny how it all plays out, especially when we come
Speaker 4: on the purple couch because I bring what I came through,
Speaker 4: what I went through this week, be because of what
Speaker 4: she went through this week.
Speaker 1: And then we just really just let it all out
Speaker 1: and say the things that we can't say on the radio.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I say that's the difference for people don't realize
Speaker 4: as me, your girls then even you know what your
Speaker 4: work that you do is activists. You know, it's a
Speaker 4: lot having to keep up with headlines. We have to
Speaker 4: keep up with all the headlines, right, we got to
Speaker 4: keep up with the blogs talking about with the national
Speaker 4: news that's talking about local news, uh, state laws, things
Speaker 4: appertain to black families, black men, black women. We have
Speaker 4: to stay abreast of all of these things all the time,
Speaker 4: and we have to be accurate with the information, and
Speaker 4: we have to transformulate opinions. And so when we get
Speaker 4: to this couch, that's why it's unfiltered, because it's like
Speaker 4: right here's were keeping it. We keeping it abuck with
Speaker 4: you and and that's what you guys will listen here
Speaker 4: or watch when you check out DEVA.
Speaker 3: So as as black women in this industry, do you
Speaker 3: find this there? Massogyny? Do y'all deal with you know,
Speaker 3: any type all of that type of issues that I
Speaker 3: hear about.
Speaker 4: Yeah, especially with such a male dominated industry, and you
Speaker 4: know how the music industry, radio industry can be, and
Speaker 4: so that is stuff to navigates sometimes. Yeah, I think,
Speaker 4: honestly for us, and I won't speak for you, Diva,
Speaker 4: but you can chime in here. I honestly feel as
Speaker 4: though we've I've been really blessed not to have to
Speaker 4: experience some of the things that you know, other women
Speaker 4: or some of my colleagues have had to face.
Speaker 1: In the industry.
Speaker 4: I came up under, you know, an amazing program director,
Speaker 4: Jay One, and you know actors Now.
Speaker 1: They truly do respect what we do.
Speaker 4: And I think it's because we come with so much,
Speaker 4: you know, assertiveness and discipline and respect for what we do,
Speaker 4: and we're just really you know, focused on how things
Speaker 4: sound and what we're saying and how we're speaking to
Speaker 4: our community. So I think that plays a lot into it.
Speaker 4: It's so unfortunate when we do hear stories of women
Speaker 4: who you know, are going through sort of like sexual
Speaker 4: you know, harassment situations in the workplace. Those things do
Speaker 4: absolutely happen. We've just really been blessed not to have to,
Speaker 4: you know, really have to twice those things personally, so
Speaker 4: so in align with that, though I know it's difficult.
Speaker 4: We have a podcast as well that you all are
Speaker 4: on right now, on Street Politicians, and we do a
Speaker 4: host of other things.
Speaker 1: Longevity is not easy, right for women, for men, for.
Speaker 4: All of us, and especially for women because we are
Speaker 4: always looked at, as you know, our brands are not
Speaker 4: going to be successful. There's you know, there's there's not
Speaker 4: many spaces for us in this industry. But you all
Speaker 4: have been here for a while. I think you said
Speaker 4: your podcast has been it's four seasons since twenty and
Speaker 4: thirteen eighteen eighteen. That's a long time in the world
Speaker 4: of media because the cycle change is so much. What
Speaker 4: do you think has been the keys to success? And
Speaker 4: while you're answering that, let's talk about like those gotcha moments,
Speaker 4: Like we see all of these YouTubers and people who
Speaker 4: are popping up now, they're trying to figure out what's
Speaker 4: the spiciest story. You talked about dominique truth and making
Speaker 4: sure that your reporting is accurate. How are you keeping
Speaker 4: up with that and not being the first to jump
Speaker 4: on the story so you can maintain your space in
Speaker 4: the podcast world. Well, I think we represent a whole
Speaker 4: plethora of people who also like, really love what it
Speaker 4: is that we're all doing right, And so when you
Speaker 4: do that, you have a certain respect for it, and
Speaker 4: you do your research about it, and you feel confident
Speaker 4: and showing everybody that, Okay, look it's cool, but you
Speaker 4: don't have to try to be the first of everything.
Speaker 4: It's more important that you're accurate because these are real people.
Speaker 4: From where we sit being radio girls, we get to
Speaker 4: see celebrities as human beings. Right, I get to talk
Speaker 4: to all the fans before they come for the meet
Speaker 4: and greet, Right then I get to go talk.
Speaker 1: To celeb on this bus.
Speaker 4: It's like we get to see things from the whole
Speaker 4: point of view of you know, talking to listeners who
Speaker 4: are just excited and knowing that celebrities are human too,
Speaker 4: so knowing that it's important to be more accurate than
Speaker 4: anything than to be first. And I think sometimes that
Speaker 4: you know the blog culture and you know the rest
Speaker 4: of the entertainment industry, like we all really like work
Speaker 4: together together on this, and we have to remember that
Speaker 4: it affects.
Speaker 1: Like people in real life.
Speaker 4: If you have a every friend, you might have witnessed
Speaker 4: them going through some stuff that's going on on the
Speaker 4: blocks that's not even true, but it's like up for me,
Speaker 4: you know, in the maytime, like if you're on that
Speaker 4: level with them. So I think it's just important for
Speaker 4: us to use that platform to do that. I don't
Speaker 4: know if I aswered her question just to be responsible,
Speaker 4: And I think what a lot of people when they
Speaker 4: start podcasts, they're more interested in going viral, like what
Speaker 4: is going to be that viral moment? What am I
Speaker 4: gonna talk about? That is really going to get people
Speaker 4: talking even if it's not true. And again, for where
Speaker 4: we stand, we just don't want that to ever, you know,
Speaker 4: get confused with our brand. And what I feel is
Speaker 4: though our you know, our audience and our supporters really
Speaker 4: appreciate is that we may not be talking about it first,
Speaker 4: but when we do talk about it, we're bringing a
Speaker 4: different perspective to the conversation because everybody's talking about it,
Speaker 4: just like I want to say things like how are
Speaker 4: you talking about it? You're gonna put on it? And
Speaker 4: sometimes we don't mind like you know, making black girls
Speaker 4: mad by making us be accountable and talking to us
Speaker 4: about situations where we're wrong too, or things like that,
Speaker 4: you know that they might not talk about it from
Speaker 4: that point of view.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, So, So what do you guys see your podcast
Speaker 3: and what you do in the next five years, Like
Speaker 3: what do y'all want it to be?
Speaker 4: That's interesting because like we just started with Streets TV
Speaker 4: and I don't know, it's a talk show, but daytime
Speaker 4: TV is not ready for us, honey, so it might
Speaker 4: be have to be on the late night.
Speaker 1: You really be customing staying all types of things.
Speaker 4: You have podcast, We have a title call like, ma,
Speaker 4: you don't want to listen to this one, and they
Speaker 4: go and listen to it.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Because so y'all are talking about controversial topics.
Speaker 4: Of course, you're talking about sex, you're talking about politics,
Speaker 4: you're talking about body parts, like y'all right, being gone
Speaker 4: mad like the bed really sure, okay, but that's not
Speaker 4: the topics that Mama doesn't want to listen to.
Speaker 1: Those are Those are the ones that Mama supports.
Speaker 4: It's the other stuff y'all be talking about that you know,
Speaker 4: kind of gets people excited.
Speaker 3: We we we you know, we see the controversy and
Speaker 3: I've seen that Dominique had made the comment about Michael b.
Speaker 3: Jordan being corny. You know, so how did what happened?
Speaker 3: What did you get a lot of backlash? Like what
Speaker 3: happened as a result of that coming It.
Speaker 1: Was opera that like the corny regrade attacked. It was
Speaker 1: World War three with the nuclear and trench warfare.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, and my comments, fortes, death threats, all
Speaker 4: sorts of things and so thank god threats. Yes, I
Speaker 4: really showed how they ended up bullying me and said
Speaker 4: way worse things than the word corny that I did.
Speaker 1: But that was said about that.
Speaker 4: But look, I've been going a radio since I was
Speaker 4: nineteen years old, and somebody being mad about something I said,
Speaker 4: it's just another day to be okay, I say what
Speaker 4: I'm saying, like y'all say way worse than in comments
Speaker 4: every day, like let's be for real, and that's all
Speaker 4: perspected that I'm coming to. I'm not doing anything for
Speaker 4: like shock value like I had actually in the context
Speaker 4: bigged him up, like we all know that we need
Speaker 4: our got to be at.
Speaker 1: Least five to seven percent corny.
Speaker 4: So he threw all the cheesy stuff you want to do,
Speaker 4: like do picnics and take you on days of playing.
Speaker 1: Days like you're not gonna get that from Jaquandrion.
Speaker 2: I get so what I want.
Speaker 1: I want a big deal like keeping what's really a
Speaker 1: big deal about that? So I can't really just show how.
Speaker 4: You know, a lot of times the people who are
Speaker 4: on the internet again are presenting one way and are
Speaker 4: just looking at are looking for something to be upset about,
Speaker 4: something to release some anger on, or just something to
Speaker 4: talk about. And it was just like, okay, is it
Speaker 4: a slow news week? Like are we really gonna go
Speaker 4: this hard for the whole week?
Speaker 1: And they really went that hard for the whole the
Speaker 1: whole that fun.
Speaker 3: So I want to ask a question, just as a man, right,
Speaker 3: what do do for me? I've heard so many different perspectives.
Speaker 3: I heard women that's like, you know, I don't want
Speaker 3: no corny dude, that's just too nice. I want a
Speaker 3: god that gives me a little spice, you know, some
Speaker 3: of them that might treat me bad, might not answer
Speaker 3: my call sometimes.
Speaker 2: Or do I mean, what do women actually prefer?
Speaker 3: Because there's this this up and down because I don't
Speaker 3: know what we want.
Speaker 2: I don't know that's what I said, that's what.
Speaker 4: We want to have something I'm just kidding, but we
Speaker 4: know we need him to be like you know, as
Speaker 4: you grow up, you know, as you grow as a.
Speaker 1: Woman, you might realize, like, hey, you know what, I
Speaker 1: probably do.
Speaker 4: Need about five to seven percent, like like Cornia just
Speaker 4: a little bit.
Speaker 1: But you know, different women want different things. I've heard
Speaker 1: plenty of women say I love my husband.
Speaker 4: He is so corny and every Sunday we you know,
Speaker 4: whatever they whatever they do. And like a lot of
Speaker 4: people that are corny as well. Hit me up and
Speaker 4: was like, yeah, people call me cornyer all the time
Speaker 4: because I like anime, but I mean it is what
Speaker 4: it is. So the rest of my life, you just
Speaker 4: have to really have the voice in your head be
Speaker 4: bigger than everyone else's opinion of you.
Speaker 1: And that's one thing that we shay and I try
Speaker 1: to let every you.
Speaker 4: Know, everyone know as far as these days where it's
Speaker 4: hard you can't say anything without someone getting offended these days,
Speaker 4: but I cannot allow you to stop him from being
Speaker 4: yourself and from using your voice and saying the thing
Speaker 4: that you want to say how you want to say them.
Speaker 4: Because you're talking to your people, you're talking to your tribe,
Speaker 4: and you need them to find you. So you got
Speaker 4: to keep it real.
Speaker 1: So that they can.
Speaker 4: Well, I agree, I agree, and you know, I don't
Speaker 4: know if anybody knows what they want in this society.
Speaker 1: I think we know what we want. We kind of
Speaker 1: get the essence of it.
Speaker 4: But we're ever evolving as humans, and so some things
Speaker 4: trigger us. Some things were okay, well we were nineteen twenty,
Speaker 4: twenty five, thirty one, thirty two. Now things are changing
Speaker 4: in your life and your mind, so certainly you know
Speaker 4: that it is ever evolving what we want. To answer
Speaker 4: that question, I will say that I watch some of
Speaker 4: the dialogue around the corny comment, and I think that
Speaker 4: what much of the sensible pushback. I don't know about
Speaker 4: death threats and all of that, that's extra, too extra,
Speaker 4: but I know that the pushback from some people was
Speaker 4: just the idea that because somebody is a nice guy
Speaker 4: or not a thug and not so you know, violent
Speaker 4: or you know, just profane, that it makes them corny.
Speaker 4: That we need to as a community allow space for
Speaker 4: people who are different to not be looked at in
Speaker 4: such a negative context that.
Speaker 1: They are corny.
Speaker 4: And so I saw that, and I wonder, I guess
Speaker 4: my last question is did you open up your thoughts
Speaker 4: and your mind and your heart as you heard more people.
Speaker 4: Because sometimes when I'm getting attacked, when people are coming
Speaker 4: at me, it's hard, like I reject a lot of it.
Speaker 4: But then I think what helps us grow is when
Speaker 4: we can sit back and pull pieces from what we're
Speaker 4: hearing and the noise out there and say, you know
Speaker 4: what I see or understand this, you know particular thing,
Speaker 4: and it's just very similar. A good example is Epany
Speaker 4: k Williams after her statement about whatever I forget the
Speaker 4: bus driver compment that was our friend Teslin figure Ro
Speaker 4: calls it bus gate. I love that shout out to Teslin.
Speaker 4: It was just so much for you know about the
Speaker 4: bus driver gates. So I just I wonder, you know,
Speaker 4: I wonder if Ebany feels different. I wonder if her
Speaker 4: interactions and the comments that were made from uh Aana
Speaker 4: Venzan if that helped. Because Iana, excuse me, because one
Speaker 4: of the things that Yanda said is it is not
Speaker 4: whether or not you will date a bus drivers, whether
Speaker 4: or not the bus driver will date you. Like, we
Speaker 4: have to humble ourselves and look in all directions. So
Speaker 4: from your perspective, Dominique is the closer here today. Tell
Speaker 4: us from your did you feel or see anything different
Speaker 4: and approach it from a different perspective.
Speaker 2: No. Yeah, that's.
Speaker 4: Like one of the behind the scenes dealing with that
Speaker 4: situation with felt best was the people who knew me
Speaker 4: and knew know me and know my heart already was like,
Speaker 4: oh they got you. Oh they're not familiar. And this
Speaker 4: is why I stand on what I said. You know,
Speaker 4: everyone's interpretation of corny is is their own interpretation, right,
Speaker 4: And what I and then that wasn't meant in malice, right,
Speaker 4: you know, it's not that deep. But the reason why
Speaker 4: I said he was corny, I also stated, and I
Speaker 4: was very clear. I was just speaking on the fact
Speaker 4: that he likes to date white women, right, And that's fine,
Speaker 4: he can have his preference.
Speaker 1: But I did feel as though the Lloyd Harvey publicity
Speaker 1: relationship really really just made a lot of people forgot
Speaker 1: about his previous dating and that's his thing.
Speaker 4: But when it comes to me, I'm always going to
Speaker 4: root for black love first, and a lot of times
Speaker 4: it seems as though whenever you are for or pro
Speaker 4: black love, then it gets turned into oh, well, she
Speaker 4: must hate this.
Speaker 1: No I'm not the girl.
Speaker 4: Let's looking at the interracial couple like I'm not even
Speaker 4: looking at y'all. I'm the girl and us telling them
Speaker 4: my sister over here, like, girl, don't worry about him,
Speaker 4: he's corny anyway, come on, let's have a drink, oh,
Speaker 4: whatever the case may be. So that was the reason,
Speaker 4: you know, my reasoning, and I shared my reasoning, and
Speaker 4: it was just because you know, I'm pro black love,
Speaker 4: and that's it. You know, we have some people in
Speaker 4: our community who will take this time to explain to
Speaker 4: people that are not of our community why they said
Speaker 4: to say they you know, the things that we say
Speaker 4: and why we do what we do. And I'm just
Speaker 4: not one of those people because I don't have time
Speaker 4: for that. I talk on the radio. I talk a
Speaker 4: lot of shit all day every day from the podcast
Speaker 4: to your always, So they're just gonna have to stay mad, honey,
Speaker 4: He's all right. And I also bigged up a lot
Speaker 4: of my favorite corny men out here in this world.
Speaker 4: And let me tell you, they don't have a shortage
Speaker 4: of money or women, honey.
Speaker 1: So that's fine.
Speaker 4: You wear that loud and crowd out there, okay, because
Speaker 4: we need out here.
Speaker 2: You know, what the reality is is some of us
Speaker 2: was corny.
Speaker 3: There was a stage that people was corny, Like you
Speaker 3: could probably look back at your old high school that
Speaker 3: I might have been a little corny. I had to
Speaker 3: uncorny myself.
Speaker 2: I've got two.
Speaker 4: Belts one time, like why let me wear a belt
Speaker 4: up here? And then.
Speaker 2: You got to own that.
Speaker 4: If corny is synonymous with intentionality, with I'm not. And
Speaker 4: of course I hear you about the white women thing,
Speaker 4: that's a whole different show, different conversation. Matter of fact,
Speaker 4: y'all need to invite us separately, and yes we'll get
Speaker 4: into an argument me and my song, So separate differentations.
Speaker 4: So we can talk about people on podcasts and shows
Speaker 4: like yours that talk about all types of issues. Often,
Speaker 4: just like my son said, you know, this guy saw
Speaker 4: him in the strip club and was like, oh, you
Speaker 4: know what you're doing here? I have the same problem
Speaker 4: with my friends, my sisters that do all types of things.
Speaker 4: They'll be like, oh, no, we can't talk to you
Speaker 4: about sex, toys or this, and I'm like, yo, I'm just.
Speaker 1: A regular person.
Speaker 4: I could talk about any issue just because I get
Speaker 4: out in these streets and I'm pushing peace and pushing
Speaker 4: justice and pushing equity and all of that doesn't mean
Speaker 4: that I don't also have my own life and experiences
Speaker 4: and things that I could talk about on the other side.
Speaker 4: But so you no, And in that day, if he's corny,
Speaker 4: and it means that he is calm and stable and
Speaker 4: willing to be intentional about our relationship, Honey sent.
Speaker 1: Them and.
Speaker 4: People people project from what they have experienced. So if
Speaker 4: your experience has been people calling you corny because you
Speaker 4: have been intentional because you're not a thug, or because
Speaker 4: you're a calm you're taking that with you and how
Speaker 4: you're responding to her comment. But she never said any
Speaker 4: of those things. I said, we we love the fact
Speaker 4: that he rented out an inquiryum for his girlfriend, because
Speaker 4: that's what corny man do.
Speaker 1: I need to get you one, and that's why I'm
Speaker 1: I'm trying to look for one.
Speaker 2: I want.
Speaker 1: One, I WoT sing. So we gotta go to day
Speaker 1: here and talk all night. But I both be single.
Speaker 1: Who's asking, who's me?
Speaker 4: Just this? And I ain't really been single since two
Speaker 4: thousand and nine. If I'm being yeah, no, no, okay,
Speaker 4: you know the situationships are fine, but I mean not married.
Speaker 1: That's not married.
Speaker 4: You aures single and you know what parny guys. Sign up,
Speaker 4: sign up, y'all find a separate perspection.
Speaker 1: By the Yeah, yeah, yeah exactly. We're just messing with ya.
Speaker 4: We love y'all so much, and again we look forward
Speaker 4: to an invitation for separate interviews.
Speaker 1: On the podcast.
Speaker 4: You know, I want to thank both of you because
Speaker 4: you've covered our work.
Speaker 1: You call me from the street while we're out.
Speaker 4: In the middle of the protests and try to get
Speaker 4: us on the air to talk about what we're doing
Speaker 4: around this social justice movement.
Speaker 1: Keeping in a voice you.
Speaker 4: You are are too beautiful young women. You're you're well spoken,
Speaker 4: you're quick, you're witty, and you're courageous and that's what's important.
Speaker 1: And so and you're successful.
Speaker 2: Thank god.
Speaker 1: Yah got y'all got about two Yes, thank you, that's
Speaker 1: all I need.
Speaker 2: Keep it up, Keep it up, keep you.
Speaker 4: Appreciate really appreciate it means keep Unfiltered podcast with Dominique
Speaker 4: the Diva and Jay Parker.
Speaker 1: Thank y'all so much for joining street politicians again that
Speaker 1: dop dop, Yeah, they dope.
Speaker 3: Energy, and you know, and and and and I just
Speaker 3: want to say, you know, people, people get so wrapped
Speaker 3: up in what somebody else's perception is or with somebody
Speaker 3: else's definition of something is.
Speaker 2: If you see me as corny? Right?
Speaker 3: Only only way you really it matters to me what
Speaker 3: you see me as is if you matter to me. Right,
Speaker 3: So if a stranger sees me as a corny individual,
Speaker 3: why why would I take it?
Speaker 2: Person?
Speaker 3: Know that you see me? And then I have to
Speaker 3: think about, all right, what is your definition of corny?
Speaker 3: And if certain things that I do, like oh you outside,
Speaker 3: or you do this and you do this, those are
Speaker 3: things that I do and those are things that they
Speaker 3: may see it's corny. So is that right a wrong?
Speaker 3: It's did perception. You can't take somebody's perception away from
Speaker 3: them based on what you think. You know your definition
Speaker 3: of cornya. My definition of cornya is two different things.
Speaker 3: You know, if people get me that's some corny shit.
Speaker 2: You what you mean corny?
Speaker 3: Well, I can break down why I think it's corny,
Speaker 3: and you might not agree with those things, right, you
Speaker 3: might not agree those reasons make somebody carny, but that
Speaker 3: may be my definition of cordity.
Speaker 2: So corny is just I.
Speaker 1: Agree with you.
Speaker 4: But I also think that there's a negative narrative out
Speaker 4: there about black men that we have to be very
Speaker 4: careful about.
Speaker 1: Right, So when when we make the statement that Michael B.
Speaker 4: Jordan or someone like him who we don't know anything
Speaker 4: about what he does behind the scenes every day.
Speaker 1: He could be the thuggiest thug, he could be shoot.
Speaker 4: Him up, bang bang, he could be popping pills, doing drugs,
Speaker 4: selling drugs.
Speaker 1: We don't know. Right. Life reveals things about everybody.
Speaker 3: And its corny drug sealers and shooters.
Speaker 4: No, it is, but but there is a narrative that
Speaker 4: has been pushed to our children that in order for
Speaker 4: you to not decorny, then you need to be these
Speaker 4: things that can often be dangerous to yourself and to
Speaker 4: your community. And I'm saying I'm just well, I'm saying
Speaker 4: that that is a narrative.
Speaker 2: It is an issue.
Speaker 1: It's like saying, I saw a video the other day where.
Speaker 4: A young girl was like, you know, when the way
Speaker 4: I speak, I've been you know, I speak pretty proper,
Speaker 4: and people say, oh, you sound like a white girl,
Speaker 4: or you're trying to be white.
Speaker 1: And so the narrative has become that.
Speaker 4: All the things that's positive and that's good about us
Speaker 4: can be looked at as corny or acting white or
Speaker 4: in a way that makes a young person who has
Speaker 4: the potential to be all of these great things feel like, Naw,
Speaker 4: that's not the path that I want to take because
Speaker 4: it's they, oh, they think is corny. So I'm just
Speaker 4: saying that that's one of the that's that's some of
Speaker 4: the feedback, and it's very similar with the Ebany K.
Speaker 1: Williams piece.
Speaker 4: It's like, you know, a bus driver can actually be
Speaker 4: better to you and be a better man than somebody
Speaker 4: who might have millions of dollars that beats your ass
Speaker 4: and cheats on you and has children out of wedlock.
Speaker 1: Right, So it's just that we have to be careful
Speaker 1: with the power of our tongue and how it influences
Speaker 1: our young people. What you're saying makes perfect sense, and
Speaker 1: what Dominique is saying makes perfect sense. Also understanding who
Speaker 1: they are, the young people that you know, the way
Speaker 1: they talk that to her, that she didn't feel like
Speaker 1: she was disrespecting Michael B. Jordan. I'm just saying that
Speaker 1: in the context of.
Speaker 4: How of the labels that we as black folks fight against,
Speaker 4: and how we're trying to help our children understand that
Speaker 4: going to school to get educated becoming you know, a professional,
Speaker 4: you know, having a professional job, and you know, staying
Speaker 4: out of trouble, staying off the streets, not being violent.
Speaker 1: Those things.
Speaker 4: We want to make sure that they don't become synonymous
Speaker 4: with being corny.
Speaker 1: So I think that's where some people.
Speaker 2: Think that makes sense.
Speaker 3: I just I also just think that there are like,
Speaker 3: there are people who are trendy, and there are people
Speaker 3: who are square.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: It's there's the square person who wants to stay home.
Speaker 2: And watch and read and watch TV all the time. Right.
Speaker 3: They're not really into the cultural things. They don't really
Speaker 3: want to be involved, they don't like to hang out,
Speaker 3: and that's your preference, right, But there are other people
Speaker 3: who see that as something that they love.
Speaker 2: They love I want that type of individual, right.
Speaker 3: I think maybe I think maybe the connotation and the
Speaker 3: word corny, maybe we need to change it into something else,
Speaker 3: because for me, corny is not someone who is is uh,
Speaker 3: you know, someone who is a straight and narrow square
Speaker 3: And we usually call it square because that means that
Speaker 3: they go straight by the book, you know, they don't.
Speaker 3: They don't they don't really bend much. They're not very flexible,
Speaker 3: you know. So that's something I think corny for me
Speaker 3: is someone who tries to har That's what corny is
Speaker 3: to me. Corny is someone who is trying to be like.
Speaker 3: You have people who because they have money, they want
Speaker 3: to show off and they want to make you think
Speaker 3: that they're bigger than they are, and they pull out
Speaker 3: their money and they try to look down on other people.
Speaker 2: That's corny to me. You know, that's those I call corny.
Speaker 4: I want to tell you that I think there are
Speaker 4: a lot of reasons why people can be corny, and
Speaker 4: a lot of differences.
Speaker 1: Corny, fake, whatever.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying that the power of our words is
Speaker 4: important and when and what all I was talking about
Speaker 4: is that the backlash doesn't just come from people who
Speaker 4: are sensitive and just feel like, oh, you're.
Speaker 1: Calling me corny.
Speaker 4: The backlash may also have come from people who know
Speaker 4: that they're raising a son or a daughter right now.
Speaker 4: I remember somebody in my family told my brother, who
Speaker 4: works really hard every day, he's a hard worker, he
Speaker 4: works in a factory, takes care of his family. They like, man,
Speaker 4: that's corny, right, Because that is that sometimes becomes where
Speaker 4: people's mind go when they see a person like a
Speaker 4: Michael B. Jordan or somebody like that who we believe
Speaker 4: has this stellar life and future and career and it's
Speaker 4: doing it all the right way. Again, we don't know
Speaker 4: anything because I didn't even know he dated white women.
Speaker 4: I had no idea about that. But all things are revealed,
Speaker 4: and we just have to be careful because our kids
Speaker 4: seem to believe, some of them that to do the
Speaker 4: right thing is to be corny.
Speaker 2: Okay, I agree with that.
Speaker 3: I definitely know anyway anyway, you know, so we agree
Speaker 3: with that, we found it, we found some common ground.
Speaker 3: But that brings me to my I don't get it.
Speaker 3: And it's a topic that you posted on your page
Speaker 3: today and it was really crazy to me.
Speaker 2: I just don't get how we got to a time.
Speaker 3: Well, I think we've always been at the time, but
Speaker 3: the blatant disregard for this black life, that white people
Speaker 3: just shoot you randomly and kill you randomly. You got,
Speaker 3: you know, Jordan nearly choked to death by a white man.
Speaker 3: You know, you have this lad What is the lady's
Speaker 3: name to me?
Speaker 4: Because, oh my god, a geeky always always.
Speaker 3: I just don't get how she just was a white
Speaker 3: woman decides that she's gonna shoot her through the door
Speaker 3: because she went to have a conversation about her hitting
Speaker 3: one of her children, right, and she went to have
Speaker 3: a conversation with woman, A woman shoots through the door
Speaker 3: and she was brought down for question and then released
Speaker 3: just back into like, how are we allowing people to
Speaker 3: just kill people and just go home?
Speaker 2: That don't happen for black people.
Speaker 3: Showed me the black person that shot somebody through their door,
Speaker 3: that shot somebody, that even shot somebody in self defense
Speaker 3: that they knew somebody was coming to kill they shot him,
Speaker 3: and they walk out the precinct the day without being
Speaker 3: charge for anything.
Speaker 2: I just don't understand it.
Speaker 4: I don't want us to just keep calling her the
Speaker 4: white woman. I want to make sure we put her
Speaker 4: name out Susan Laurick, the same way that they do ours,
Speaker 4: exactly exactly. Susan Laurick is the white woman who shot
Speaker 4: her neighbor, which is Ijki Owens shot her after an
Speaker 4: encounter with uh the where Susan Laurick had with her son,
Speaker 4: her twelve year old son, a twelve year old son,
Speaker 4: in which she hit him with a roller bled and
Speaker 4: she was detained for a few moments just to give
Speaker 4: people the proper context. We're gonna talk more about this
Speaker 4: story as we've now met the family, we're working with them.
Speaker 4: Attorney Ben Crump is on the case, and we're going
Speaker 4: to talk more about this.
Speaker 1: But to your point, we're living in a time, we're living.
Speaker 4: In a society, and I guess it always has been
Speaker 4: right because when they picked up Carolyn Bryant or this
Speaker 4: is not necessarily picked her up. But when Carolyn Bryant
Speaker 4: told her story that in Mantil whistled at her, those
Speaker 4: white men went down to the precint for a few moments,
Speaker 4: if at all, they were questioned and they left and
Speaker 4: that was the end of it. And that's because the system,
Speaker 4: the current system of policing across this nation, the current
Speaker 4: system does not work at all. It's throw it in
Speaker 4: the trash. It is not working. And we constantly see
Speaker 4: these things over and over again. But the media campaign
Speaker 4: of the elected officials and other black folks that look
Speaker 4: like us with have you believing that you must have
Speaker 4: police in your community in order to be safe, And
Speaker 4: meanwhile the police are there and you're still saying your
Speaker 4: communities are not safe. So you're still saying the community
Speaker 4: is not safe. The shootings are still happening and the
Speaker 4: police are everywhere, So what the hell will you say now?
Speaker 4: Something needs to be done. We need to get back
Speaker 4: into the streets today. So we've got to close Street
Speaker 4: Politicians and close this episode and come back and talk
Speaker 4: with you all some more later during the week. But
Speaker 4: there are there's so many different things going on and
Speaker 4: a lot to uncover, and I just want to remind
Speaker 4: you to go back to until Freedom dot com.
Speaker 1: Go to until Freedom.
Speaker 4: If you already gave, go back and give again, because
Speaker 4: you might have an extra five dollars that you're able
Speaker 4: to spare after listening to us. Talk now about a
Speaker 4: new case that we've gotten involved with, which is our
Speaker 4: sister a jeeky owens Aj in Okalla, Florida, where we're
Speaker 4: gonna have to travel soon to ensure that a white woman,
Speaker 4: Susan Lauric is arrested for shooting for first of all
Speaker 4: us assalting her the son, a twelve year old child,
