And the point it's 31 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: trying to make is a point that I think in 32 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: whatever like sub genre, subculture you in, there's a point 33 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: to where you buy into the the myth making part 34 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: of it, the the the the spirit, the soul of 35 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 1: what something is, and then it becomes bigger than uh, 36 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: the person or the persons that got you into it. 37 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: You're following me, it's bigger than that, right, Like, it's 38 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: the idea of the concept is bigger than theger than 39 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: the And when something become bigger than that, then it's 40 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: like can nobody tell you no different? And for that 41 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: to fall apart in some way, has something has to 42 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: be catastrophic to undo that. You know what I'm saying, 43 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: I want to talk about two years later, the big 44 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 1: lie hood politics, y'all?

Um. 197 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 1: And I'm not approaching this as such. Keep in mind 198 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: my background professionally is in education, Like I am coming 199 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: at this. Of course, I can't separate my personhood and 200 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: my opinions about stuff, because I mean it's like, well, 201 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: I mean it's a podcast.

Um. 203 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: But I will say I am approaching this from an 204 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 1: educational perspective to kind of help you empathize or understand 205 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: at least what is even happening right now right and 206 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: the implications again about what and possibly could look like 207 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: using my antennas and what I understand about what it 208 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: means to buy into something bigger than you. So former 209 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: President Trump, Well, first of all, before I get into that, 210 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: what is the big lie? The big lie is that 211 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 1: Trump actually won the election. It has been repeatedly disproven. 212 00:13:51,880 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: I just I uh in an absurd amount of court cases, 213 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: losses attempts to like rewind the clock and make that 214 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: be true. It's just it's just not true. Right now. 215 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: What makes that lie huge, why we call it a 216 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: big lie from a historical perspective, is that for that 217 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: lie to be factual, for that to be the case, 218 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: there is That is why I keep saying this a 219 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: cascading amount of other things that have to be true 220 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: for that one truth to be true. You're following me. 221 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: So for Trump to have one, that meant that there 222 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: was a widespread conspiracy among local and national players within 223 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party who have all conspired together along with 224 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: people from private companies right to make these things, along 225 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: with local volunteers, in conjunction with the US Postal Service, right, 226 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: all of these things, in conjunction with private media services, right, 227 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: all conspiring to make sure that one thing would happen, right, 228 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: And That means there has to be some sort of 229 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: web of communication. That means that this deep state thing 230 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: that they keep talking about has to be true. Right, 231 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: So all of these little things had to have come 232 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: into place, right, all the way down to just your 233 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: local postman. He has to be in on it, right, 234 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: All these things have to be true. So you'd have 235 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: to ignore all your logic around other things that are 236 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: like this is unlikely. You have to do. You have 237 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: to ignore all that if you're going to maintain that 238 00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: the top lie is true. You're following me. Now, can 239 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: that sustain by itself? I am of the belief that 240 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: based on experts, right, I think through line has a 241 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: dope uh interview with it with it with with some 242 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: experts about this, uh that. I don't think this could 243 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: have sustained when Trump kept saying they lying, they lie, 244 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: no matter how big he is, without it catching on 245 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: with other like Republican leaders jumping on like yeah they yeah, 246 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: they stole it from you.

It couldn't have sustained without 251 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: people like Fox News and these other things like perpetuating 252 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: this thing. It's not gonna catch on. You can't just 253 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: like as as dope and as mythical Trump is, you 254 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like I say mythical, like I 255 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: mean that because it's like he's created this myth that, 256 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: like number one, he's always been a billionaire, when despite 257 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: how many evidences of him being bankrupt, despite the fact that, 258 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: like the people of The Apprentice said, they made up 259 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: the myth of him being this mogul.

When O G gets out of 337 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: prison and he comes back to the hood and he's 338 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: trying to tell kids like hey, abort mission, like turn 339 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 1: around out it's not and it's and you're looking at 340 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: the dude that was like, man, this yo, you put 341 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 1: in mad work, Like we know your missions, like you're mythical. 342 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: You feel me.

And they're and they're communicating 358 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: in a in a in a way and in a 359 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: language with with with skin in the game where they 360 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: understand really what these foods is going through. Like a 361 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: matter of fact, he's the O g s like these 362 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 1: foods like they started these hoods. One would think yo 363 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: saying if the dude that's started to set would come 364 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: in and say, hey, you shouldn't do this like little 365 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 1: dudes like oh y'all burnt out. You know what I'm saying. No, 366 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 1: it's bigger than this. I appreciate your g full respect 367 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, like I never respect. I'll do you 368 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,120 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But we're out here, we outside. 369 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,479 Speaker 1: You can't talk everybody out of it because it's bigger 370 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: than that. And that's what I'm saying that that's what 371 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 1: they're trying to do. But that's the point I'm trying 372 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: to make. It takes on a life of itself. Right, 373 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: how are we still dealing with Trump one signs? And 374 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 1: why Republicans still not showing up at the you know, 375 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 1: the anniversary of what would even lead somebody to do that? Again, 376 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: it's the cascading imp occations of if you hold up 377 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: the first thing, right, if you hold up that first, 378 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: that first thing, that that means that every step after 379 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: that is absolutely necessary. Because if it is true what 380 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: you believe about this election, then of course you think 381 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: that like democracy is, it's fallen. So our our only 382 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 1: choices to storing the Capitol. Now, the problem with this 383 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: storm and the capital is the fact that they had 384 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: no other plan after that. Like, okay, so what was 385 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: y'all doing? And and and your boy? You know what 386 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 1: I'm saying? Who I mean, are y'all gonna y'all gonna 387 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: put him back in office? Like all that's gonna it's 388 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: gonna be the same, Oh dude saying new lines to you. 389 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: I just I don't understand, Like, what was what was 390 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 1: y'all's in game? You know what I'm saying, Uh. Then 391 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: there's people that like like I keep talking about, like 392 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: Matt Yates, like Mary Martin Taylor a who like you 393 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying that the Santos who like I 394 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 1: saw the righting on the wall was like, yo, I 395 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: can link myself since it's bigger than Trump, I can 396 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 1: link myself to this thing too, and like, go out 397 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: there and maybe you know what I'm saying, hit my lip. 398 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, give my power play because 399 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: it's bigger than that. You feel me? Because if that 400 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: lie again is true, then the implications are everybody inside 401 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: of that building are frauds. We gotta ride. So don't 402 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: let nobody ever tell you that this was some sort 403 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: of like you know, protests that went out of control. No, 404 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: they was rotting. Because you that's your only option if 405 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: you believe lie number one, right, I got one more 406 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: point after this? Or break yeah? Yeah, yeah yeah. Have 407 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 1: you ever heard of the phrase color mute terms? Color 408 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,479 Speaker 1: mute terms are I asked you a question, as if 409 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: you can answer me. You know what I'm saying. Some 410 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: of y'all are like, yeah, it's so stupid white people 411 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: do that? Why I do? It's I mean, it's a 412 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: rhetorical it's a rhetoric tool. Anyway, I'm off topic. Color 413 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 1: mute are terms that you're not saying what you mean, 414 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: You're just you in replacing where it's like urban, you 415 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 1: know what the hell we mean when we say urban, 416 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: When you say inner city, you know what the hell 417 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: you meant, right, it's color mute, low income color mute. 418 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 1: And of course why it's used so much is because 419 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: there's there's a bit of ambiguity, like I mean, you 420 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, there's plenty of low income white people, right, 421 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: you know, saying like come on, man, that's ridiculous. You 422 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: know urban that could be I mean, hipsters are urban. 423 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, right, So that's why you 424 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: use those terms, right, because they're color mutes. So it's 425 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: a way out of getting pinned down by what you mean. 426 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,640 Speaker 1: And sometimes it's like you can use color mute terms 427 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 1: because you are trying to use something else, which is 428 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,959 Speaker 1: an umbrella term, right, or a pan ethnic thing. So 429 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: like when you say something like Asian, that's pan ethnic, 430 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, I mean, how different 431 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: is Malaysia, Kimbo, the Philippines from Manchuria like it's Siberia, 432 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,199 Speaker 1: Like it's super different, you know what I'm saying, But 433 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 1: you know African, like that's you kidne me like the 434 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: second largest land mass on the planet, you know what 435 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: I'm saying. So it's like you can't possibly talking to 436 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:23,199 Speaker 1: be talking about all the same people, right panethnics. So 437 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: sometimes you might be using an umbrella term uh, but 438 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: maybe saying it with color mute words following me. I'm 439 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: using that to say how one could from a macro 440 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: perspective by into something like this, and why you would 441 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: see things like, uh, Confederate flags, you know, seventeen seventy 442 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: six calls, eighteen seventy seven calls like just which is 443 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: crazy because eighteen seventy seven is like the basis the 444 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: compromise of the basis of like black codes of like 445 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: why we had so why it was so hard for 446 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: us to vote? You know what I'm saying. Um, why 447 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: you would see like Auschwitz T shirts and these people 448 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: calling themselves patriots. Some people would say there was dog 449 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: whistles happening. You know. Dog whistles is basically this idea 450 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: that like if you don't know what that means, It's 451 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: just this idea of like where only you blow it, 452 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: and only you're not saying it, but people that needed 453 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: to hear it here hurt it. He who have ears 454 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: let him here, you know, and bye read a Bible awards, 455 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: so to say things like the true America, you know, 456 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: I lost all of the cities, all of the urban areas. 457 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: But the true America, the true Americans, they know the truth. 458 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: And it's that I won. I won by a landslide. 459 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: What does he say, ain't well black people, brown folks, 460 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: that's what he's saying, he said. And when I lost 461 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: to the city, you talk about black you talk about 462 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: people of color, that's what you talk about black people, 463 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: you talk abou about you. What you're saying is and 464 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: the true America's white people. That's what you're saying. They 465 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: heard it. So you're stoking something you you you you 466 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 1: tapping into something that again is bigger than themselves and 467 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: make them feel like now they they're part of a cause. 468 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: Because how do you explain follow me, y'all, I'm again, 469 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: I'm just teaching. How do you explain if factually speaking, 470 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: the system has always worked for capital w white people. Obviously, 471 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: if we're talking you know, economic issues, socio economic issues. Obviously, 472 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: that's a different that's a different piece of intersectionality, which 473 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: is something you don't want to talk about because you 474 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: don't believe in critical rights theory. But that's another piece 475 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: of intersectionality that we have talked about later, that that 476 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: says that, Yeah, of course there are class issues that 477 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: complicate what I'm trying to say, right, but that's why 478 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: I say capital w white people, whiteness. The system has 479 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: worked for you. The system has worked for whiteness because 480 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: it was built for whiteness. This is all like you 481 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: could even ask the all right, it was like yeah, no, 482 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: like read the founding father's documents. This was made for us. 483 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: It was designed so when it stops working for you, 484 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: rather than looking at huge sweeping ideas that might possibly 485 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: be the problem, like well, capitalism running unchecked. You know 486 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like the removal of a social safety net, 487 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: like the idea of like the idea of like a 488 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: social health care, health care is unaffordable. The idea of 489 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: social health care would actually help us all, especially low 490 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: again intersectionality, low income white people can't afford it either, 491 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: you know, I'm saying that coal miner who out there 492 00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: with that Filipino you know immigrant that like they're sharing 493 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 1: U across junior freaking number four meal because you know 494 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, they boss like won't give them no raise. 495 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: You feel me like they understand that intersectionality, you feel me, right, 496 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: But he and would really appreciate the idea that like 497 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 1: maybe if my health care wasn't tied to this job, 498 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have to keep going into this cold you 499 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But you're ignoring those sweeping ideas 500 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: and just saying somebody else must have ruined it for me, 501 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: just like somebody else stole this election. Somebody else stole 502 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: my way of life. Well who is Well, who stole 503 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 1: your way of life? Well? You got black people cutting 504 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: in front of the line. You got all these immigrants 505 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: stealing the jobs that he's good paying American jobs, right. 506 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: You got these social elites, these democrats taking all the 507 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: work and taking it over to other countries. Right, and 508 00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: then you got them, you know, uh, extremely wealthy people 509 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: who are buying large liberal right and want to control 510 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: your life systems not failing systems. Fine, it's been taken 511 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: from you, so you need to go take it back, Nigga, 512 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't you ride to if that was all true? Wouldn't 513 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: you be like, let's ride. So when something gets bigger 514 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: than all of us, it becomes self sustaining. So again, 515 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:45,719 Speaker 1: what that means for I think it only collapses with 516 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: a huge collapse. Trump gotta crash and burn for you 517 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: to see that that man is not a DemoGod. I 518 00:33:55,520 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: think number one, clearly, the facts don't matter, right because 519 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:09,760 Speaker 1: none of the stuff is true, right. I think somebody 520 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 1: has to address y'all's grievances in a truthful, healthy manner. 521 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: Somebody has to be able to speak your language and say, Okay, 522 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,839 Speaker 1: so what you're trying to take back here? This this 523 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 1: actually solves the problems you need, You you asking for. 524 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 1: You feel like you're not being heard, you feel like 525 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 1: you're not being treated fairly. Okay, well check this out. 526 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 1: Boom boom boom, boom boom. Here's how we got here. 527 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: Here's how to fix it. You know, what I'm saying 528 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: in a way that they get to see is not 529 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: just feeding their grievances. Now, how is that gonna happen? 530 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: And I don't know because that's slow and hard. How 531 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: to do that. What's quick, easy and get you back 532 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:57,359 Speaker 1: in power is you ride that way. But the part 533 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,720 Speaker 1: that's so strange to me is that if you're telling 534 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:05,799 Speaker 1: me the system is broken and flawed and terrible, why 535 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:10,880 Speaker 1: the hell would you run and have me vote for 536 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:18,719 Speaker 1: you if you don't believe voting works. I mean, they 537 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: could turn and as black people the same thing. I 538 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,800 Speaker 1: ain't got to answer money. I think there are lessons 539 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 1: we can learn from history. They're not one one to ones, 540 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 1: but I think that things we can learn, some of 541 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 1: which is grievance. Politics works, but only for so long 542 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: it eventually descends into well, total meltdown. But even if 543 00:35:51,560 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: it descends into total meltdown, we'll survive, m y'all.
