What's my son, Lennon? 0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:17.680 How are you doing? 0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:23.439 I'm very tired today because I'm on vacation again and 0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:27.120 it's the month of August. It's supposed to be my 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:31.840 rejuvenation month to get ready for people coming back in 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:36.400 the fall. And I've worked almost I will not say 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:41.400 every because that would be exaggeration, but I might as 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:45.760 well have been working every day and some days really 0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:50.360 hard during my vacation, and I'm actually resenting it because 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:51.120 it's over. 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:54.680 I mean, what is really hard? You know? What does 0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:55.480 that actually mean? 0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:00.840 It means things like I don't want to be doing anything, 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:03.639 and then I have to travel somewhere and I got 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:07.160 to talk. I don't want to get my makeup done, 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:09.080 but I have to so I can travel to the 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:11.839 place to do the thing. Then when I get back 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:15.200 from the place, I have to do tape a show, 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:23.160 do two interviews. Right then. It means Linda calls me 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:28.560 and she has no boundary about a vacation, although she 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.880 tries she really does. But she calls me and says, Okay, 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.640 we'll talk about it later, but I just want to 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:38.560 tell you these sixteen thousand things. It looks like Janice, 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.240 I'm supposed to be on vacation and she's sitting here 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:43.360 trying to say it's a new season and we need 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:45.720 to do this, and need to organize this, and this, 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:49.720 that and the third. It looks like responding to emails. 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:53.920 It's too much like there's no curious vacation. 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.320 Okay, it seems like you had a vacation. But cool. 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.080 Okay, but did you see me work during the time 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:04.240 when I was on vacation. 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:07.600 There was there were there were periodic works. You're hearing it, 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:09.000 but we cool. 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:09.680 I know, I get it. 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.400 You don't even know what a vacation is, so therefore 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:15.560 it's you don't you you don't even understand. Then you 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:19.160 don't even you really don't know. It's sad for you. 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:24.080 Vacation is supposed to mean that for an x amount 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:29.240 of days, you just turn off everything and just focus 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:33.480 on self care. I've not had that. I've had two 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:35.480 days here and in the day he is supposed to 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:37.400 be a month. I was supposed to come back in 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:38.480 September like. 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:44.200 Who okay, right, yeah, I don't even know the concept 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:44.919 through that. Now. 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:47.880 The sad part is you don't even really care. See 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:49.880 that's that's that's worse than not. 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:51.560 My life is not set up like that. 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.200 If I, if I, if I have like vacation for 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.280 a month, everything around me with crumbled. 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:01.200 It would literally just for I'm just being honest. 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:01.679 You know what. 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:05.640 But no, no, it's designed to make you feel that way, 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:14.480 and it's actually not true. No no, no, no, no, no, no, yes, yes, yes, yes, okay, yeah, 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:18.959 I'm telling you. I'm telling you you that is not true. 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:22.960 You believe that because it's got anyway, Let's go on 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:26.919 to the topics because that's not true. But that's what 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.640 that the rat race is designed to make you feel 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:34.360 that as soon as you step away, even for thirty days, 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.480 that ever, when you come back, it's going to be 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:40.200 like like a disaster. It's not true because there are 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:44.560 systems in place, at least at until freedom, where things 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:48.240 are still rolling regardless of whether we show up or not. 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.680 That's not But that's why Linda calls you in this 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:55.960 in the mode because it ain't rolling, right, shit, don't 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.360 be rolling like it just be like and sometimes you 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:03.200 need a little the role. So if we literally took 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:07.520 thirty days off from like the work that we do 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:12.840 is not like, it's not it's not of vacation. It's 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.160 just not it's not realistic. 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.760 We want you to know this as we move on 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:21.760 to our topics of the day, that you also will 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:25.600 come to me like a back in hell or out 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:29.400 of hell, saying we have to I need you to 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.440 focus on such statistic. But I'm gonna. 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:34.680 Because sensitive ship that you don't know. It's not like 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:35.479 you forgot that. 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:39.160 It's not because we have an event that we've been 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:40.880 trying to plan and now we got to push you 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.640 back to another month. It was supposed to be in August, 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:47.279 now we push you to September. Now we're saying it's 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:48.240 gonna be October. 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:53.039 I don't think it should happen into November. So I'm 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.440 in I'm definitely not the person you want to talk 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:56.840 to November. 0:04:58.560 --> 0:04:58.800 Sure. 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.880 I just saying to you that for the next two months, 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:05.000 you basically are going to be physically living in Kentucky, 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:09.320 dealing with Daniel Cameron, and you talking about doing something 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:11.520 major in New York City. 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.800 Let's move on this one day. We could go back 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:15.600 one day and do it. 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:18.640 Not about the going back, it's about this is why 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:22.360 I keep having the same art. And I realized that 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:28.000 men especially don't always understand this, especially when you work 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:33.080 with women who deal with day to day details. Okay, 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:38.320 not all men, some men. The details of getting to 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:42.800 the day that you're talking about requires the phone to 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:48.320 Now we're talking about planning four things at once, which 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:51.240 means the phone is ringing now twenty four hours a 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.039 day because the people for your event want to start 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:57.360 calling at ten o'clock at night. The other people it's 0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:02.159 too much things, It's too much thing. Y'all people are workaholics. 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:05.080 Y'all need help. Y'all need to go to a program. 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:06.760 And it's a lot of people out here who are 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.400 listening to this who need to go to a program 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.080 for work a non I mean work of hot halics. 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:16.720 There needs to be therapy specifically designed for movement people, 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.560 people who are leaders and activists, to learn how to 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:25.200 sit down. That's all I have to say. So it's 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:31.479 the sixtieth anniversary of the March on Washington, which was 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:33.919 another time when people were working themselves to death. But 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:38.200 the March happened sixty years ago where doctor King made 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:44.599 an incredible, impactful, memorable, forever ever ever speech that people 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.240 will just never will never forget it. You know, it's 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:50.080 always going to be etched in our minds that day 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:53.599 when he spoke, in two hundred and fifty thousand people 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:59.640 were on the mall in Washington, DC under the tagline 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:03.320 of jobs and freedom. They were fighting for jobs and freedom. 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:07.360 Sixty years ago, we're still fighting the same fight. They 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.920 claimed the Biden administration that there's more jobs in the 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:14.600 economy than ever before and that this president is going 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:18.120 to go down in history for bringing back jobs. I'm 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:19.840 not going to say there are no jobs, because if 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.040 you want a job, there are certain there's jobs. I'm 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:25.320 not saying there's not, but the types of jobs that 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:32.480 people need to live successfully and to feel free, financially free. 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:34.520 I know a lot of people who are looking for 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:37.280 those jobs and they are not finding Okay, so you 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:42.080 know that there needs to be some conversation about that. However, 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.840 I will say that you know there's. 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:49.600 Build because at the end of the day, right like 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:52.400 a company can only hire with a certain amount of people, right, Like, 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.960 what do you do to create jobs. 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:55.280 That are not there. 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.640 Well, technology is taking away a lot of jobs. So 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:01.320 that's what I'm saying that. But that's my point that 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:05.240 I'm making that you could go get a job to 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.800 flip a burger, which is fine. You can get a 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:12.200 sanitation job probably right. You could get jobs that It's 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:15.880 very rare that they can take make technology take over 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.840 the entire thing. I mean, they do have some in 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:24.320 other countries McDonald's and others that are surviving literally without 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:28.040 having maybe one employee to open up. But everything else 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:32.200 is technology. But that still a lot of places are 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.880 still gonna want humans to oversee the. 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:38.360 Projects because once some because I'm thinking, like what it 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:42.319 would be a disaster if you got a completely you know. 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:49.600 Store ran by computers. 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:52.240 And today that is, if there isn't one. 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:58.440 Right like somebody you make it my food and you 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.280 put the wrong ship and everything to start glitching like that. 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:04.120 Shit could be a disaster and it could completely. 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:06.120 I don't think so it probably can. They probably men 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:08.559 from wherever they're sitting, they can shut it. 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.959 Down, I hope. 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.440 So you see what I'm saying, because the system. The 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:19.719 one thing about technology is that if you tell it cheeseburger, 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:26.959 Swiss cheese, tomatoes, mustard. It's going to do exactly that. 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.839 Until until it messes up. Then until it does it. 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.680 Like you think about we computers, like because we we 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:35.880 we we intake it in. 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:37.280 The computer was made by you. 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.800 So the fact that you can go crazy with the computer, 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:44.760 the computer can go crazy too. 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:45.120 Man. 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.680 You know many times computers that fucked up the glitch 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:49.640 in all type of ship. 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.360 Yeah, you put too much faith for that computer you want. 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:57.720 No, Oh, it's not because it's going to be less 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.360 likely to feel Let's just put it that way. But 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:03.319 the point is to get back to the original thing 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:07.040 that we were discussing, is that the March in nineteen 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:10.040 sixty three where doctor King delivered that I Have a 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:13.520 Dream speech, the famous I Have a Dream speech was 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.920 about jobs and freedom, and freedom means so many different things. 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.760 So obviously during that time they were in the midst 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:23.040 of a civil rights battle. They were in the midst 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.720 of so many different battles, still dealing with or at 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:30.000 that time, dealing with police accountability or police brutality, dealing 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:33.320 with racism, dealing with white supremacy, all of that. So 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:36.640 jobs in freedom, it was like the economic peace, and 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.400 then all the social justice causes all sort of like 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:43.640 mixed up together. And so still today it's a continuation. 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:48.440 It's not the end of or even a new beginning, 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:52.440 because there is not, there's never been a completion of 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:54.560 the things that they were fighting for that they went 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:58.679 to the mall by those large numbers four in sixty 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:05.199 in sixty, and so here we are commemorating a powerful occasion. 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:07.680 And the reason why, one of the reasons why I 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:12.199 would say it was extremely powerful is because the diversity 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:15.679 of individuals involved in that march too, you know, all 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.760 those that came together because they were in a real struggle. 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.360 And through that movement there were winds. You know, there 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:26.240 were winds, there were strides made, and so you know, 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:29.319 it was a powerful occasion. And here we are again 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.600 commemorating it. And but one thing I will say that 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.320 most people don't talk about is that women were not 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:39.600 allowed to speak. I believe Mahelia Jackson was the only 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.839 person on the program, only woman on the program, and 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:47.520 she was there as not an entertainer, even though yes 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.040 she was it was for song, but still she was 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:51.880 so much more to the movement. I mean, she was 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:55.600 doctor King's friend, you know, she was there, you know, 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.360 rooting him on from the sideline. So she was the 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.320 only woman that was on the program. No other woman 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:04.640 was allowed to speak. And so you know, I want 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:08.000 to give a shout out to Reverend William Barber, who 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:12.520 actually is a part of the sixtieth anniversary. He had 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:16.680 a program whereas all women speaking, all women you know 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:21.640 who are delivering a sort of keynote addresses or put 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.679 a part of a program just to make sure that 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:28.480 women are celebrated. And we really show the progression even 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:32.240 with that of how women are in very important leadership 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.320 roles within a movement. So that's the deal on the 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:39.280 sixtieth anniversary. More work to be done, but we must 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:41.200 always remember. 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:44.400 Always remember man, shout out to doctor King. He's one 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:47.520 of my you know, he's one of my icons that 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:51.839 I have on my wall I look at daily, you know, 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.800 if you don't know, I have pictures on my walls of. 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.920 Civil rights leaders, activists. 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.800 Who in their mug shots, you know, and and for me, 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:05.160 it just shows a lot of our civil rights leaders 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:09.760 were criminalized and for nothing act you know, and some 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:13.600 of them actually I got I got Malcolm Little's picture 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:16.560 here for when he was actually you know, outside, so 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:21.720 it's different, you know, variations and you know of different leaders. 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.800 But just shout out to the march on Washington. You know, 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:29.920 it's set up precedence. You know, it inspired a lot 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:32.520 of us. You know the speech that doctor King made 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:38.440 that day, you know, historical, legendary, and it gave us 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:39.520 a lot to look forward to. 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:43.520 It gave us a lot to aspire to. So I 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:48.720 just want to show what a serious cause, serious cause, man, 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:49.720 jobs and freedom. 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.680 We still need jobs and freedom. But at the end 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:56.200 of the day, we still marching for the same shit. Man, 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:59.319 We're still fighting for the same ship. And it's like, 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.520 I don't know sometimes I don't. 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:08.679 Know the battle though. The battle is long. The battle 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:12.800 for freedom is long. It's not a short And they 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:17.920 and and and it took us So what do they say? 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:23.040 It took us so many? Uh what it's a it's 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:24.800 a certain kind of statement. But the point is that 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:26.880 we it took a long time to get to where 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:29.920 we are. There's no way that it will be unraveled overnight. 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:35.360 Is it a shame? Certainly? Both should we also understand 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:39.320 that the system is designed to keep us fighting, and 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.520 we have to. You can't drop the ball. While there 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:45.400 are other people who are trying to carve new paths 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:49.080 and new lanes, some people have to be there. It's 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.480 like it's like if there's a fire in the house, 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.960 you know, there's a group that comes in just to 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:58.240 stop the fire, just to stop the fire. Then they're 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.520 new clean up people, and then they're folks who think 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:03.000 about what do you do in terms of building a 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:07.520 new house, tearing it down, rebuilding, remodeling, reshaping. There's also 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.120 a group of people that come in and try to 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:12.440 find housing and care for the people who are displaced 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:16.320 because of the fire. So it's so many elements and 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:20.920 movements are just the same. And speaking of fires, no 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:26.040 pun intended. But the shooting situation, the mass shooting thing, 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.280 it is on the rise. Again, not to say that 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:30.800 it really stopped, because a lot of times we don't 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:33.560 hear about mass shootings, especially if one or two people 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.280 would shot. And of course in our communities every day 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.880 there are mass shootings where people black folks, brown folks, 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.680 people who look like us are being shot and or 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:47.000 shooting people, and that we classify that in the mass 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:52.120 shooting department. However, when we talk about colleges and now 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:58.000 the Dollar General, you know, stores, grocery stores, that it is, 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:02.720 it is. It is hard wrenching, right, God bless all 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:08.880 domestic is domestic terrorism. It's heart wrenching to know that 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:13.640 people sending their kids to school are struggling scared because 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:16.920 even in the last few hours, we learned that there 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.880 was an active shooting happening at the University of North 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:23.560 Carolina Chapel Hill where one person was shot and it 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:26.680 still was active, having checked it to see if more 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:30.480 people were shot. And that's just days after the Dollar 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:35.040 General shooting, where that shooter, a man with swartzika's on 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:39.160 his rifle, went to a college. First, he tried to 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:42.240 get on the HBCU campus and when he couldn't get 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:44.360 on the campus and he was sent away by a 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:48.320 security guard, he continued on to the Dollar General because 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:51.280 in his mind that day he was going to kill 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:54.640 some blacks, some niggers. As I'm sure they said. 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:57.840 Yeah, they said that he hates he hates black people, right, 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:00.360 and it's. 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:03.280 Very danger and it's very it's sad, but there are 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:07.240 so many people who will argue that racism is not 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:11.159 in America. They're literally black people there's literally black people 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:13.119 that when you try to tell them and they say, oh, 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:17.280 you're race baiting. You know, you're just trying to create something. 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:20.879 It's not really that big little problem. There's no racism here, 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:22.760 you know, and all this shit, and it's just. 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:26.720 Like where do y'all be at? Like for real? Like 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:29.160 what planet are you from? 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:33.080 Like I want to go there because I dare shouldn't 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:34.960 want to be You think I want to talk about race? 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.040 You think I want to be around people that hate 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:38.320 me and want to kill me. And I got to 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:41.840 understand of doing things intentionally to try to, you know, 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:44.200 make sure that my life is harder and try to 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:47.159 stop me from progressing and stopping my family. And you 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:49.359 think I want to be around that shit, Like for 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:52.400 what how does it benefit? I don't want to do that. 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:55.439 I want to be able to say, Yo, shit is happening. Man, 0:17:55.480 --> 0:18:00.199 shout out to my guy Jalen Brown. Man, Jaylen Brown. 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:04.480 You know he just played in the Big Three.

Keep going. 0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:06.040 Yeah, well promotion. That brings me to my thought of 0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:15.640 the day. You know, Trump raised seven point one million 0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:20.439 dollars after that mugshot photo went viral. He did seven 0:22:20.480 --> 0:22:24.119 point one million dollars, and it almost makes me feel 0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:29.679 like unpopular opinion. Just leave him alone, Like, if you 0:22:29.920 --> 0:22:34.560 can't put him in jail, for sure, please leave him alone. 0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:36.240 And even if you put him in jail, I'm not 0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:39.520 sure like that might turn into a thing. It's just 0:22:39.880 --> 0:22:45.520 basically it's given. Leave Trump alone. Stop talking to him, 0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:47.639
