So my mind was I wasn't 218 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: even used to being around people, which you reading a 219 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: lot more that what kept you going in that really 220 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: just programming. Man. It was kind of like my first 221 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: my first two months in the hole because of my 222 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: sticking because of my accused assault on staff.

Yeah, sure, 343 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: I'm not hand starts representing. But it all goes back 344 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: to marijuana though, So it all goes back to me 345 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: because after they found the marijuana they used, they used 346 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: the marijuana to say that was the reason why they searched. 347 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 1: It hadn't even been open. It was still in the pack. 348 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: It was still sulled. When they got they had their picture. 349 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: It was like you ready to ship, like like you 350 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 1: re ship. It wasn't going right, yeah, allegedly you they're 351 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: not smelling like come on. But I'm just happy though 352 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 1: that California. But I'm so involved in the case. So 353 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: the judge was so livid. The judge has had each 354 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: one of our attorneys right a dissertation to uh to 355 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: this case. And it was and I was to address 356 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: the search and cdure part and the contact part. And 357 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: before he even let us read ours, the prosecuting attorney 358 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 1: was like, we ain't writing nothing. We're just gonna drop 359 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: the case. We're gonna let it go. So when he 360 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: came back to court, they dropped the whole case against 361 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: him and let it go.

Malcolm X was 413 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: the first one that you say, you go in, who 414 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: really did it? Blue Little gave you his brother's book. 415 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. Let's me going, I'm Blue Little. That's 416 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 1: my real last name. If you don't know, those who 417 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: don't know, that's Malcolm X's real last name. Cat's you 418 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. That's done my history. It's funny though, 419 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: because as you say that, I'm a huge fan of 420 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: it too, and just knowledge and going to school getting 421 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: your degree and things like that. Like you know, I've 422 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: always been a proponent. I was the first of my 423 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: family to do it, and I look at it like 424 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: I've soaked in so much knowledge the streets. You a 425 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 1: lot of knowledge as well, don't get it twisted. But 426 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 1: when you soak up that game, that talk that you 427 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: refer to you when you go to court and you 428 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 1: hear these people talking about you and the way you 429 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 1: don't know, you need to soak up that type of 430 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 1: knowledge folks from reading, from learning, and be inspired by 431 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: a book like Malcolm X. Then if something happens which 432 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: big you, it didn't shake him up straight Malcolm X, 433 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: after rolling his grave going that motherfucker didn't read my 434 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: book well enough, he took, by any means necessary, to 435 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 1: a whole nother level. By that being said, he said 436 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: he went back in and read more and then learned 437 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 1: the law, which is crazy and dope all in the 438 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: same factors that said himself, I think it's called mercy. 439 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: That was not that kind of reminds me of that 440 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: the lawyer and reading it just it's just great knowledge. 441 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: And for that's why I was like, would you say 442 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 1: you would attribute the change to reading? Definitely, without a doubt, 443 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: that's mama proponent reading and it's not just watch I'll 444 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 1: be talking to my kids. Do you tell my well 445 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,919 Speaker 1: he got books on um yo. If you read it, 446 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: you reinforce it. Once you read it, and you and 447 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: you and you read it and you see those words, 448 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: they can never take that from you. I got another story, 449 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 1: you know. When I first got the prison, I had 450 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: read the title of fifteen. And the tile of fifteen 451 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: is a book that they give you, is the book 452 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: of rules that you can write the police up for 453 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: violating yourself of violence. It's called the title fifteen. I 454 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: read the title of fifteen, and I just memorize what 455 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: I needed when you can write them up in prison 456 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: or in prison. In prison, so if if you're it's 457 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: the title charges on the police officer while you're there, 458 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: are on yourself. It tells you what you can what 459 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: you can't do. It tells you what you're supposed to have, 460 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: what you're not supposed to add. I had read the 461 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 1: title of fifteen. So when I got there, um by 462 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: me being big you. When I got to the yard, 463 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: a lot of people have gave me a lot of stuff, 464 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 1: and they sent me a TV. I had TV or radio, hotpot. 465 00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: But I wasn't supposed to have all that stuff because 466 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: I was in reception. So when the police seen it before, 467 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: you get this stuff. So the police going my cell, 468 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 1: I walked the child and going to sell it, just 469 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 1: rabbits to sell tad to sell up.

But if you know your 499 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: rules and you know your rights, you follow the script, 500 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: you shut the funk up. You're gonna get out of 501 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,239 Speaker 1: this in a in a better way. Period. You know, 502 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: one of my mentors they need to smoke weed. Yeah, smoke, 503 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: go from blue to green, you know. You know one 504 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 1: of the one of my mentors has always told me says, 505 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: once your mind expands from its original form, it can 506 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: never go back. And that's exactly what reading does. It 507 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: expands your mind from its original forms, so therefore it 508 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: cannot go back. It's like writing a bike. Once you 509 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: learn how to ride a bike, ninety percent of the time. 510 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: You can ride a bike your rest of your life. 511 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: You know, it might not be as good as riding 512 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: that bike, but you sure do remember how to ride 513 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 1: that dame bike. And so that's the kind of education 514 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: that you know, our youth needs to get first and 515 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: foremost and then. And that's what I've seen you doing. 516 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: I mean throughout the years, man, I've you know, I've 517 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: watched you ever since you've been out like I've watched you, 518 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: you know, spend a large proportion of your private personal 519 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: time to helping youth. You know what I mean, hours, dude, 520 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: Hours and hours on the football field, hours and hours 521 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: at community centers, hours and hours putting proposals together.

I mean, 525 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: this man puts his life out there to help others, 526 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: to educate people and give them something that maybe he 527 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: possibly didn't have that same direction on. So yeah, no, 528 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm a big fan of this man.

It's gotta 540 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 1: be so hard, But how do you try to relate 541 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: that message? Man?

And 671 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 1: yet all the ship it starts with that in the car, 672 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: I smell weed and then we're gonna put you in 673 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 1: jail where you can smoke. And it's just nuts to 674 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 1: think that how the system really works, because you're thinking, 675 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 1: oh my god, there's more anecdotal evidence right there. And 676 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 1: now big us running with the anecdotal evidence saying cannabis 677 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 1: works best when you're in prison for the craziest. And 678 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: you know that type of evidence though, is like, you know, 679 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: hence the seabeed bowlers. When are more people are gonna 680 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: realize that one of the cops gonna realize that the 681 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: government that they fuck it. It's working here. It's because, 682 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: let's just face it, it's not like they can use 683 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: that anecdotal evidence say it's really working well in prison, 684 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 1: but it is. And big you, how do you think 685 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 1: or do you know or can you tell? How did 686 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 1: that cannabis get into prison? Is it strictly the guards? 687 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 1: Is it straight up tennis ball? Everybody's over then shut 688 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: Come on, you didn't really ask that, an I just 689 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,439 Speaker 1: say that they need it. And that's the reason why 690 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 1: I'm in this field because I see the comming effect 691 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:32,439 Speaker 1: of I mean, I mean, I don't know the healing point, 692 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: but I know them it sometimes some people needs it, 693 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: you know what it much need it? I need it needed. 694 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 1: I've had two hip surgeries. I have this bad ankle 695 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 1: right and after the two hip surgeries, I tore my 696 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 1: laborers that had to slice my i TU band up 697 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 1: to put it in there to replace my laborers, which 698 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 1: then gave me fucking arthritis. So now I'm, you know, 699 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 1: forty eight years old walking with this limp. All the time, 700 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,799 Speaker 1: before I started using seery, my pain would be you know, 701 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,680 Speaker 1: seven eight level from a one to ten, and it's 702 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 1: dropped down to like a good four or five six 703 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,800 Speaker 1: when it gets cold. So my point is, I see 704 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,479 Speaker 1: how it's helped me at quote unquote a younger age 705 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: of forty eight, But look at that sixty year old 706 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,840 Speaker 1: woman year old who really could use some help harder 707 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 1: than popping all these pills and going, you know what, 708 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:29,120 Speaker 1: I'm taking all this fucking medication.

I 1041 00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:16,640 Speaker 1: want to see that community thrive. Because before I came 1042 00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:19,600 Speaker 1: home and we created the brand to Crenshaw brand, it 1043 00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:23,160 Speaker 1: was we didn't we we made Crenshaw something different, not 1044 00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:27,440 Speaker 1: to just us, but the brand was already going because 1045 00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:32,560 Speaker 1: people were formiliar with the Mosha boyzenhood. But we made 1046 00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:38,280 Speaker 1: the brand a more accessible brand, you know what I mean? Yeah, 1047 00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:40,720 Speaker 1: and we took it.

Um, it was was 1052 00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:55,640 Speaker 1: kind of like my my, my mentor, and I felt 1053 00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:58,240 Speaker 1: like we needed to come back and love ourselves. So 1054 00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:02,840 Speaker 1: we needed to create brands that people would love. And 1055 00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:06,360 Speaker 1: what's funny is people don't know Nipsey never went to Crinshaw, 1056 00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:12,400 Speaker 1: he never went to Chrishaw.

So no, 1144 01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:53,040 Speaker 1: My whole thing on the Black Lives Matter movement is 1145 01:02:53,080 --> 01:03:01,000 Speaker 1: that is about time. It's um is overdue and this 1146 01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:04,360 Speaker 1: country still doesn't get it. And I'm not talking to 1147 01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:06,760 Speaker 1: and I did. I did an interview and I was 1148 01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:10,760 Speaker 1: telling them that it's needed. Sometimes you gotta burn it 1149 01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:14,080 Speaker 1: down sometimes, but don't burn your home down, you know, 1150 01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:17,680 Speaker 1: but sometimes because we have though that's the last time 1151 01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:21,640 Speaker 1: I like during the Rodney kN King was right at home. 1152 01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:23,760 Speaker 1: It was right in the mix of everything. You know. 1153 01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:25,800 Speaker 1: Now it's it's a little different, you know what I mean. 1154 01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:27,960 Speaker 1: It's a little different. It's a little different only in 1155 01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:30,960 Speaker 1: the fact that, uh, and we want to be realistic. 1156 01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,400 Speaker 1: It's different only because we have a virus that's keeping 1157 01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:37,080 Speaker 1: everybody at home and TVs on. If we did not 1158 01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:39,400 Speaker 1: have this virus, it would be going over people's heads. 1159 01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:43,360 Speaker 1: But because it's happening in this time, and we have 1160 01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:54,200 Speaker 1: the greatest president in the world, Donald Trump. This dumb motherfucker's. Hey, look, 1161 01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:57,000 Speaker 1: let me tell you. Let me tell you why. Let 1162 01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,120 Speaker 1: me tell you why Donald Trump is great for us. 1163 01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:02,080 Speaker 1: Tell you why he is great for us? Because he 1164 01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:08,920 Speaker 1: exactly because before Donald Trump, there was never black gang members, 1165 01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:14,880 Speaker 1: Hispanic game members, all concerned about politics. We have never 1166 01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:18,080 Speaker 1: been this never he is. This guy is the best 1167 01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:22,640 Speaker 1: thing that is that could have happened to African Americans. 1168 01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:27,800 Speaker 1: And look, not only are we becoming conscious of of 1169 01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,000 Speaker 1: of political of the president politicy, we come to conscious 1170 01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:35,480 Speaker 1: of inner city politics. We needed Donald Trump at this 1171 01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:41,720 Speaker 1: time because Obama put us to sleep. Obama willed us 1172 01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:46,320 Speaker 1: to sleep, and that it was like the voice was there. 1173 01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:48,600 Speaker 1: He finally got that voice. So it's like had somebody 1174 01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:52,920 Speaker 1: to vote in. It was a false sense of reality 1175 01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:55,240 Speaker 1: that we needed Trump to come back and say no, 1176 01:04:55,480 --> 01:05:02,920 Speaker 1: motherfucker's And that's why I'm saying for us, for for 1177 01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:05,880 Speaker 1: for for for men from the inner city of of 1178 01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:10,280 Speaker 1: these these different populicies. We needed him. We need him 1179 01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:12,120 Speaker 1: to scare the shut up and say, look, grow the 1180 01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:16,320 Speaker 1: funk up, grow up, right, that's real sputs out there 1181 01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:18,520 Speaker 1: acting like are running their mouths and saying something what 1182 01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:21,360 Speaker 1: this motherfucker? Well, then guess what you need to do 1183 01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:23,920 Speaker 1: in November, and guess what you need to do before November, 1184 01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:26,200 Speaker 1: because by the time it gets November, it might be 1185 01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:29,520 Speaker 1: too fuckings. Especially if you want cannabis in your city 1186 01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:32,040 Speaker 1: and you want that, you gotta be voting at early. 1187 01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:34,439 Speaker 1: You know, Jews a lot, all these times you gotta 1188 01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:36,840 Speaker 1: be voted for your mayors.

But and and that's the thing too, 1191 01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:47,080 Speaker 1: that we we we forget that the most touching part 1192 01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:50,360 Speaker 1: of us in our community is your mayors, your city councils, 1193 01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:54,000 Speaker 1: your um your governors. Those are the people who affect 1194 01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:59,000 Speaker 1: you because they affect your actual finances. Right, That's that's 1195 01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:02,880 Speaker 1: what people were missing. It's really not the president because 1196 01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:05,920 Speaker 1: he deal with the federal money. It's the mayor. Is 1197 01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:08,800 Speaker 1: to actually start with your governor, who are you electing 1198 01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:11,560 Speaker 1: to be your governor? And then it goes down from 1199 01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:13,280 Speaker 1: here because the governor could really say funk what the 1200 01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:18,800 Speaker 1: president is saying, and even city telling your local city 1201 01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:22,280 Speaker 1: mayor as well. Look what look into what your city mayors. 1202 01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:25,040 Speaker 1: It's been cleared through this process because some of them 1203 01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:27,280 Speaker 1: were like, f you, this is what we're doing. And 1204 01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:30,560 Speaker 1: it's starting to happen more often than not because you know, 1205 01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:32,640 Speaker 1: you're like, can you do that? Can our state do that? 1206 01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:35,440 Speaker 1: You know, you're starting to question all questions. We got Hitler, 1207 01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:40,520 Speaker 1: and we got Hitler in the noted states. Friends, I 1208 01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:46,160 Speaker 1: don't like that.

Hey, look, let I tell 1212 01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:01,760 Speaker 1: people of the time that motherfucker's ate off here to 1213 01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:05,160 Speaker 1: the to the to the minority community. You know, you know, 1214 01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:07,120 Speaker 1: he don't like anybody. We just we just had it. 1215 01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:09,760 Speaker 1: We just did yesterday. We did. Uh. There was a 1216 01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:11,960 Speaker 1: survey that came out on on l A Times or 1217 01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:15,040 Speaker 1: something or our California News or something, and his brother 1218 01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:16,400 Speaker 1: had it. So I don't have the paper in front 1219 01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:20,680 Speaker 1: of me. Forty two percent higher rate of Hispanic Americans 1220 01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:23,240 Speaker 1: are arrested for for drugs. It's the highest for kind 1221 01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:26,080 Speaker 1: of highest in the world. In California, it was then 1222 01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:31,240 Speaker 1: the United States forty two percent more than any other race. 1223 01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:34,440 Speaker 1: Hispanics are, well, I think it was, which is not 1224 01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:39,840 Speaker 1: percent more, it's the African Americans were like thirty two percent. 1225 01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:43,520 Speaker 1: White Americans one percent, but it was still more, and 1226 01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:46,840 Speaker 1: I believe it was a pretty accurate. Yes, so it 1227 01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:48,880 Speaker 1: was like forty thirty and then and then so on. 1228 01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:50,960 Speaker 1: So but but that was shocking to me, you know 1229 01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:52,959 Speaker 1: what I mean, Like I already know that, but there's 1230 01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:56,800 Speaker 1: a lot in my opinion, get it, well, Lain black 1231 01:07:57,160 --> 01:08:01,720 Speaker 1: kid has been trump Villa. Fine, I was gonna say, 1232 01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:05,200 Speaker 1: but the percentage of how many blacks there are versus 1233 01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:11,640 Speaker 1: whites and expanding, so the percentage of two because there's 1234 01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:15,600 Speaker 1: there's way more white. So it's gonna that the numbers 1235 01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:18,320 Speaker 1: aren't real saying that, but this still shows that there's 1236 01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:20,439 Speaker 1: big numbers. I mean, with those numbers that can equal 1237 01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:26,160 Speaker 1: out and it might even over over Trumpet Like that's 1238 01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:28,000 Speaker 1: because you said that to me, don't you don't you know, 1239 01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:31,920 Speaker 1: But but you guys don't realize it's it's a bigger 1240 01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:33,880 Speaker 1: push coming though. I don't think people. I don't think 1241 01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:37,240 Speaker 1: people realize it's a bigger push coming because what Trump 1242 01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:42,000 Speaker 1: is trying to do is so major because he's demilitized. 1243 01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:46,840 Speaker 1: He's demilitarizing the United States around the globe and pulling 1244 01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:50,080 Speaker 1: back the United States forces around the globe. So people 1245 01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:54,679 Speaker 1: don't here, no, no, no, no, he's demilitizing, so's he's 1246 01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:59,880 Speaker 1: lessening the power of the United States troops. Wow, China 1247 01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:04,280 Speaker 1: and Russia are pushing their strengthening there. And then this 1248 01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:08,920 Speaker 1: man is talking about who has had collusion talks with 1249 01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:11,960 Speaker 1: the Russians in the Chinese saying that if he loses, 1250 01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:16,559 Speaker 1: he's not leaving office, but everything they have done up 1251 01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:20,840 Speaker 1: to now it's questionable, and dealing with these questions about 1252 01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:23,600 Speaker 1: dealing with these people. So there's a bigger discussion to 1253 01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:27,680 Speaker 1: be had if you just study the pattern of what 1254 01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:33,080 Speaker 1: Trump is doing or attempting to do, well, well, he 1255 01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:36,040 Speaker 1: has a lot of people behind him that's moving, So 1256 01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:39,320 Speaker 1: you have to be conscious of what's going on. And 1257 01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:40,920 Speaker 1: if we talk about tell people all the time, if're 1258 01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:42,960 Speaker 1: talking about you want to change, what does change look like? 1259 01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:45,960 Speaker 1: Change looks like some people are not going to be 1260 01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:48,200 Speaker 1: rich no more. Some people are not gonna be middle 1261 01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:50,439 Speaker 1: class anymore. Some people are gonna come down to where 1262 01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:53,280 Speaker 1: we are struggling. Every day. Most of us are a 1263 01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:56,479 Speaker 1: car accident away from the poorhouse, you know what I mean, 1264 01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:00,840 Speaker 1: And and and and in this, in this, in this forest. 1265 01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:03,439 Speaker 1: For us not to recognize what's going on in the 1266 01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:06,920 Speaker 1: federal government because you got you have local government. Do 1267 01:10:07,040 --> 01:10:11,799 Speaker 1: you have federal government right that controls your own forces. 1268 01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:14,760 Speaker 1: That's what Donald Trump has the ability to send people 1269 01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:16,519 Speaker 1: in and he could say this is this, this is 1270 01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:19,439 Speaker 1: not so it's a bigger picture. I don't know where 1271 01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:23,479 Speaker 1: it's going, but it's just stuff that the next and 1272 01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:25,439 Speaker 1: the funny thing is we've always said it is that 1273 01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:27,599 Speaker 1: you know, I've always said it. You can take all 1274 01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:29,320 Speaker 1: of us, and and not all of us, but you 1275 01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:30,840 Speaker 1: can take some of some of the people that we 1276 01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:32,720 Speaker 1: know and the people we run with, and you could 1277 01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:35,320 Speaker 1: drop all the bonds you want and and drip all 1278 01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:37,360 Speaker 1: the things out and we're gonna be just fine. We're 1279 01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:40,120 Speaker 1: gonna thrive. Which is but there's a lot of folks 1280 01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:41,960 Speaker 1: that it is not that that aren't that are gonna 1281 01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:43,880 Speaker 1: come down to this level and they're just gonna be 1282 01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:46,439 Speaker 1: like whoa that You're gonna start working for a whole 1283 01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:53,880 Speaker 1: new civilization that you can't beings and just haven't that stuff. 1284 01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:56,040 Speaker 1: You haven't had to been through that, and I would 1285 01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:57,960 Speaker 1: hate to see our country have to go through that again. 1286 01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:00,280 Speaker 1: But there's a small part of me that wants believe 1287 01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:02,559 Speaker 1: that they're trying to start it all over again.
