Let freedom ring, 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:09.920 or from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:15.840 ring from the heightening allaghatties up Pennsylvania. Let freedom ring. 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:20.200 Okay, well, welcome home, everybody. That was a mess. But 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:24.679 this is episode sixty three of Native Landpod, where we 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.240 give you our breakdown on all things politics and culture 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:30.720 and I'm very, very fortunate to be here with you 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:35.000 today with my co host Tiffany Cross and Angelo Rye. Ladies, 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.120 how are you greats. 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:42.360 I'm just letting freedom ring out here in these plagiaris streets. 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.679 Yeah, helloy, they letting snowfall down here in Florida. So 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:46.959 anything is possible. 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:50.120 Anything, Everything clearly goes in his day and age. 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:53.000 I'm telling you, I'm reminded this morning when I woke 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:54.760 up and saw this white in the yard, in the 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:59.120 streets of my grandmother saying we living in our last days. 0:01:58.840 --> 0:01:59.880 And evil days. 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:02.720 I just want to tell the audience what they just heard, 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.560 because not everybody watched the inauguration, but obviously Martin Luther 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.480 King day has passed, and so we started the show 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:11.600 with the authentic words of doctor Martin Luther King. But 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:15.800 what you heard immediately following that was a plagiarizer, essentially, 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:21.160 this preacher that Donald Trump invited to inauguration this past weekend, 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.000 which I know a lot of you did not watch. 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:24.840 But for the few of you who did, who was 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:28.200 cause playing Doctor King in the most disrespectful way. So 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:30.639 I don't know, Angela, the King family can sue, but 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:34.640 it certainly seems like he did not give credits to 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:38.680 the originator of those beautiful words and the. 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.560 Middle of a quote prayer right supposed to be praying? 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:46.000 Yeah, I think that he was praying. He was also performing. 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:51.320 He did a little praise dance. He was might have whatever. Anyway, 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:54.200 point is, I don't know who goes to this man congregation, 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.040 but please call him for for an altar call. 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:57.919 What are we talking about? 0:02:58.360 --> 0:02:59.080 What are we talking about? 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:01.880 What do y'all have? Tell me? 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:02.880 Well? 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:06.640 I want to get into briefly if there's time, because 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:08.000 we had a lot to get to in the show, 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.760 So if there's time, I want to talk about the 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:14.120 end the federal government ending the work from home policy 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.160 as soon as Donald Trump took office. I'm curious what 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.600 you guys think about work from home policies because this 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:21.639 is something that people are split on. But I really 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.120 want to dive deeper into that and explain to the 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.880 audience what this could mean for our politics, but more importantly, 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:28.840 what it could mean for DEI initiatives. 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:29.920 Nice, Nice, Angela. 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:32.600 I want to talk about pardons. 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.480 We know that the president, no matter who it is, 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.640 has the full pardon power constitutionally, and I want to 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.640 talk about how Joe Biden chose to use his pardon 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:44.840 power in his final days, even his final hours, versus 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:48.280 how Donald Trump chose to use his pardon power even 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:51.480 both of them on January sixth, related issues in his 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:53.240 first few hours as president. 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.400 Yeah, well, Ronning, I guess the conversation. I love, love, 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.880 love for us to engage on this topic of how 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:04.080 black folks are supposed to interact with this new administration 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:08.160 working together? We not? Are there common causes? Are there? 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:08.240 Not? 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:12.600 Are their minstrels and useful tools in the middle of this? 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.360 And could progress in some way be gained without losing 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:21.080 our self respect, our dignity, uh, and obviously our commitment 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.080 to our democracy and to our people. So I want 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:24.760 to get into that with y'all. Two, So let's get 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:25.479 it started. 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:30.920 So, you guys, I have been. 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:38.120 Really kind of filling the conundrum of sadness. You guys know, 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.440 I've been trying to be on my workout kick. I've 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.680 been so frustrated over the last couple of days. I 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:47.720 don't think I can remember a more miserable MLK day. 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.880 And I think as much as I hoped that we 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:55.159 would go out on a high note, I felt like 0:04:56.480 --> 0:05:01.160 the Biden administration ended with such a lull cloud hovering 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:04.200 over it, and then we welcomed in Armageddon. So I 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:08.440 just I feel really frustrated about what happened with the pardons. 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.559 I want to go to like the low lower level 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:13.599 of frustration and then the high level of what was 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.000 to come, just in terms of chronology. But I just 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:19.320 want to acknowledge first something positive, y'all know. I like 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.200 to start with the good. The thing that I believe 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:25.119 the Biden administration got right about the pardon power was 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:31.560 pardoning a preemptive pardon, which is unprecedented for the January 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:36.760 sixth Committee witnesses, and yeah, the staff and the members, 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.200 and I think that that was necessary. You guys know 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.440 my biases. Congressman Thompson, his family. To me, he was 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.520 a remarkable chair of that special committee, and I was 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:49.320 terrified of what would happen to him, in particular in 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.720 the Trump administration. So he was Joe Biden was pressured 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:56.680 to protect him, and it took a lot of pressure. 0:05:56.720 --> 0:06:00.680 To be clear, it wasn't an easy lift, but. 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:02.520 It didn't take as much pressure for him to pardon 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:06.760 his siblings, which I've never heard anyone mention were in 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.600 harm's way, But he pardoned all of his siblings. Not himself, 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.120 not his wife, not his daughter, but all of his siblings, 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:15.960 many of whom I've never heard of as well. That day, 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:19.799 what he did not do was pardon our good sister, 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:24.240 our friend, Marilyn Moseby. Ninety seven plus thousand people in 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.920 this country signed on to a Color of Change petition 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:30.800 supporting a pardon for Marilyn Moseby for withdrawing her own 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.240 money out of her own retirement account after being in 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:37.080 the crosshairs of the Trump administration for many years, and 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:42.039 despite Marilyn Moseby having the same same prosecutor on her case, 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:45.440 Leo Wise, as Hunter Biden did in his case, they 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.240 could not see a connection. I'm going to go into 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.120 the details of that in just a moment, but I 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:53.080 will say I will draw a contrast with that into 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:56.120 what Donald Trump's administration does for the people who ride 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.760 with him, for the people who rode with him up 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.880 to January sixth, to stop the steal, to steal things 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:05.039 off of Nancy Pelosi's desk, to wreak havoc to the 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:08.240 point where Lisa Blunt Rochester, who is now a black 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:11.640 senator from the first from Delaware to be driven to 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.920 her hands and knees to pray for their safety against 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.920 violence of a mob of terrorists of insurrectionists. On January sixth, 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:22.720 twenty twenty one, he said, I got you, you had 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.360 my back. I'm going to pardon all of you and 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:29.160 commute the sentences of thirty plus people for the actions 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:32.720 they took on January sixth, twenty twenty one. Meanwhile, meanwhile, 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:37.600 the Biden administration's bar and standard for what it requires 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.360 for a black person in this country to have gotten 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:41.760 a pardon is impossible. 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:43.120 It is impossible. 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.120 What happened in the White House over the last several 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:47.880 weeks is an abomination. 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:50.680 And I'm talking about the ways in which. 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:55.680 Black staff, black appointed officials in the Biden administration had 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:59.080 to go to bat for Marilyn Moseby versus the white 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:02.560 staff in the administration. Y'all should be ashamed of y'all 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:06.440 goddamn selves. Like truly, there's no reason that you can 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:11.480 tell me that an individual who was selling kids virtually 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:17.360 to a for profit entity should have gotten a sentencing commutation. 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.120 But you can't see the fact that you're all of 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:24.600 the legacy of this administration in justice reform was built 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.560 on the backs of prosecutors like Marilyn Moseby and Kim 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.640 Gardner and Kim Fox and Araon miss Ayala and yes, 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:34.680 Kamala Harris. And when in twenty twenty Kamala Harris was running, 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:38.320 Marilyn Moseby had her back to ensure that the general 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:39.400 public knew that she. 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:42.280 Was not a top cop, that she was a progressive prosecutor. 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.800 So to watch Maryland to left to be hung out 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:49.000 to drive for this because the people who continued the 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:53.360 case were Biden administration appointees and they didn't want to 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:55.520 leave the judge with egg on her face, and they 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.320 didn't want to leave Eric barn with egg on his face. 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:01.000 So now the person who actually had our backs is 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.280 left hanging out to dry. I got major beef with it, 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:07.080 I really really do. And I think it is massively unfortunate, 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:09.439 and you so negligent and reckless. 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:13.959 You're black folks, who who is? Can you just tell 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:16.400 us you said somebody was selling kids to for profit? 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:21.040 That person got a pardon? Who is that you've got? Sorry? 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:23.480 I just want just for me and the other listeners 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:25.800 who don't know what you're referencing. Can you tell us 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:26.040 who that. 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.400 There's a cash for kids scandal that existed in Pennsylvania. 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:32.200 If somebody has a moment, particularly on our production team, 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.000 to look up the name of the judge. It is 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.760 a very well known case in the Pennsylvania area. 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:39.199 The judge was not pardoned. I don't believe I used 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:39.640 those words. 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:43.680 If I did, you're talking about, yes, the judge was 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:48.319 taking paid right they were, Yes, I know who you're 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.960 talking about. Okay, I've had something completely different in mind. 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:56.600 Cash just yeah, Google cash for kids listeners. 0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:59.480 Yeah, it's it's a well known scandal in the Pennsylvania 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:01.400 I did not if I said that he was pardoned. 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:05.320 I apologize. I thought I said that his sentence was community. 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.440 You probably, which is I'm a misunderstood. 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:08.000 Okay. 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:10.000 I'm trying to pause because they said they were mad 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:11.839 they couldn't hear us last week, so I make sure 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:13.760 I cut y'all off. So I want to make sure 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:15.719 your thoughts are complete. I'm done with my rant. I'm 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:17.280 just gonna repeat myself because I'm pissed. 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:21.920 Well, I just you know, really quickly, can you say, 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:24.120 because you said Eric Barron and not everybody knows who 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:28.400 that is. He is the person who replaced her in Baltimore. 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:29.560 No, he's not so. 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:35.320 Eric so the US attorney who was appointed after Robert Hirk, 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:39.520 who was the special prosecutor on the Joe Biden classified 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.640 documents case who said he was too old to a 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:46.160 stand trial, and Steve Shinning were the bosses of Leo 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:50.280 Wise under the Trump administration in the District Attorney's office 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:53.800 in Maryland. When Joe Biden came in, he appointed a 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.720 new US attorney by the name of Eric Barron. He 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.840 is a former state legislator in Maryland. He's someone who 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:03.000 Marilyn worked hand in hand with. Eric did not drop 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:06.520 those charges. I suspect it is because there was going 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.280 to be a revolt by all the white boys in 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.640 that office who were under the Trump administration and stayed 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:17.160 just like Leo did. Under Eric, he demoted Leo, but 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:21.360 they raised telling that office and said if he removed 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.880 Leo from that case, they were all going to leave. 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:27.720 And so I believe that Eric kept the case going 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:31.960 because of that. Eric and the judge both worked for 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.959 Joe Biden in the Senate. She worked on the Ethics Committee. 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:38.600 Eric worked on the Judiciary committee or worked with Joe 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:42.360 Biden during the Barack Obama transition. Eric went to the 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:46.680 transition team and worked to help get Lydia Griggsby her 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:54.160 first judicial appointment, which was in the bankruptcy court space. 0:11:54.440 --> 0:12:03.160 She has no criminal criminal court experience whatsoever, no criminal 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:04.000 law experience. 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:05.120 That is the judge. 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:08.800 Those are two Biden appointees who I suspect this is 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.760 not what was reported to me, but I suspect that 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.800 was the reason, an additional reason beyond this public corruption 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.640 bucket that they forced her into that they didn't want 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:18.520 to pardon Maryland. 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.600 Well, I know that's a lot of weaving, but I 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.960 think is important so people know how this works. You 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:27.320 know that everybody had a role to play and to 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:30.360 pay attention to who these judges are that are being 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:34.200 nominated and who you know US attorney and State's attorney. 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:36.959 These are people, these are elected positions, So that's what 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:40.760 that matters. I just wanted to remind our audience about 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.600 j six because you brought that up. And Donald Trump, 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.599 as you all know at this point this week, pardoned 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:51.400 every single person who was involved in January sixth. He 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.600 said he wasn't going to pardon people who were violent 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:55.800 and that's not true, and I want to remind you. 0:12:56.800 --> 0:13:00.559 Pam Bondi, who is his nominee for attorney General, faced 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:04.840 confirmation hearing this month. Last week and she was asked 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:09.840 about pardoning January sixth people, particularly those who were violent 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:11.840 against law enforcement. I want you to take a listen 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:12.480 to her answer. 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:14.440 I just want a flag for you. He did not 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:18.120 pardon every single person. He also commuted some of the sentences. 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:19.800 I think it's fourteen people, so I just want to 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:20.920 make sure that was a good point. 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.839 But either way, they either were free at this point. 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:28.480 So the House arrest bracelets exactly exactly. 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:32.000 So take a listen to what Trump's nominee for attorney 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:34.640 general has to say when she's asked about people who 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.520 are violent with law enforcement. Let me be very clear 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:41.640 in speaking to you, I condemn any violence on a 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:46.640 law enforcement officer in this country. So she condemns any 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:49.320 violence on a law enforcement officer in this country. I 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.280 want you all to take a listen to this harrowing 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:54.200 testimony from officer Michael Fanone. You've seen him a lot 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.640 for the past four years, five years, now listen to 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:02.080 what he experienced on that fateful day on January sixth, 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:02.960 twenty twenty one. 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:06.720 I was struck with a taser device at the base 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:11.320 of my skull numerous times, and they continued to do 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:16.360 so until I yelled out that I have kids. I 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:20.280 remember one of them distinctly lunging at me time and 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:23.280 time again, trying to grab my gun. And I heard 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:27.360 people in the crowd yelling get his gun, killing with 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:28.200 his own gun. 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:32.800 So you hear the hypocrisy here. And I have to 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:35.960 tell you, Angela, you know, being part of the ninety 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:38.640 two percent, and the things that black women do for 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:43.000 this country and the little reward, the little thanks that 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:45.680 we get. And I don't even want to make this 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:48.480 a party thing. I mean to me, it's just from 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:53.120 the country. Because Marylynd is a mother of two. This 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.600 should be something that everybody cares about. This isn't a 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:58.640 you know, a Republican can go through this, a white 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:00.400 woman can go through this, but somehow, oh, when it's 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:03.800 a black woman, it is this shoulder shrug, move on, 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:07.040 We don't care. And I take your point about White 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:11.000 House staff, whatever you're willing to share about that, but 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.680 I think that's so disappointing because it speaks to what 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.280 happened on the campaign, like, we have to fight within 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:21.200 the fight to advocate for ourselves, and the finding out 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:24.040 part is going to suck for all of us, especially 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:26.320 those of us who didn't fuck around, And to know 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.400 that there are so many people with in the administration 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.520 who did is disappointing. And before you all start with 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:33.720 the comments on y'all democratic shields and you didn't know 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:36.200 and blah blah blah, ain't nobody here a spokesperson for 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.840 the party. We are all here advocating for the health 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.240 and benefit of black people. And though Maryland's case is 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.640 something that Angelo worked really hard on to bring to 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.040 the light, I do want to acknowledge that there are 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:51.680 still over one hundred thousand black men and women who 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:54.720 have had their liberty taken away, who are living in 0:15:54.880 --> 0:16:00.280 unconstonable circumstances in these prisons, from finding roaches in your food, 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:05.000 to not having access to healthcare, to women miscarrying in prison, 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:09.600 to violence from corrections officers, violence from fellow prisoners. Our 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:13.520 criminal justice system is god awful and it's only going 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:15.160 to get worse under this administration. 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:19.280 I'll just say one Angela, I hear your passion, and 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.880 obviously your outrage and all of it is merited, and 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:25.400 I want to thank you, just again, out loud and 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:28.040 in public for everything that you did to shine a 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:31.000 light on this case and for me, while I love 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:36.120 Marilynd Moseby to the hills and back, she is representative 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:42.760 of a public official mustering up, summoning the courage required 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:50.960 necessary to take on institutional racism in the system. And 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:54.920 when she announced prosecution of those law enforcement officers, it 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:58.520 was a shot over the bow their direction that anywhere 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:01.000 they exist in this country, that they will be held 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:04.600 accountable if they run a foul of the law, even 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:08.240 if you have a badge. And to me, that's the 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:13.440 underlining through line that runs through through We can hear 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:15.359 all the stories that are out there, but I think 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:17.520 the through land that runs against why she could not 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:21.440 be pardoned is because we've got these Democrats, Republicans and 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:25.320 everything on the other side and in between, who will never, ever, 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:29.080 ever truly commit to holding law enforcement accountable to the 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:33.000 same rules and standards as we as everyday regular people 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:36.080 are held in America. They drew a line when they 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:40.440 went after Maryland, in the state of Maryland and her 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:43.240 own seat, and they were not going to make it 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.240 possible for an example to be set that a woman 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:49.240 who went after law enforcement who prosecuted them for bad 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:51.840 and illegal behavior would be able to come out on 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:57.040 the other side and say victory was had. They were 0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:59.920 never going to make that possible and unfortunate. It's unfortunate, 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:03.320 But more importantly, I think it will send a chilling 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:05.880 signal to anyone else who wants to be the next 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:07.600 Maryland to not even try it. 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:09.040 That's right, all right. 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:10.920 I know we got a lot going on in this podcast. 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:12.399 On the other side of this break, we're going to 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:15.760 talk about black engagements, and we're gonna get into some 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:18.200 of these celebrities who performed at the inauguration. So don't 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:19.280 go anywhere. We'll be right back. 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:33.320 It's not political for me. 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:34.920 For me, the political part is over. 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:36.520 He won. 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:40.520 And you know, growing up, I was taught to respect 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:43.400 the office. So you know, Nelly's here and. 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:46.760 You did get a little backlash, but you were like, whatever. 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:48.640 I don't I don't care, I'm doing what I want 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:49.000 to do. 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:52.199 This is this is I'm not gonna beut words in 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:52.600 your mouth. 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:54.520 But you you were really cool about it. You handled 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:56.760 it well. You came forward and you talked about it. 0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:59.240 A lot of people wouldn't do that. Why why did 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:00.600 you come forward and talk about it? 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:03.320 Well, because I think it's important that, you know, we 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:07.399 show some people have their own opinions about things, you know, 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:13.000 and sometimes things can get a little bit hazy and 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:15.960 in a way that everybody feels the same way about everything, 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:18.000 and that's just not it. I think certain people have 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:21.399 an outlook and I've always believed that you got to 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:25.040 walk through the fire sometimes to get results. And regardless 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:28.720 of what you feel about it, we as a people, 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:32.040 and I mean, you know, my heritage as far as 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:35.479 being African American, we've always had to work with people 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:38.440 that we may not have always agreed with to get 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:41.919 things done. And I think that struggle continues. But at 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:44.760 the end of the day, if the men and women 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:47.160 of this country can put their life on the line 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:50.440 for a president that they may not have voted for, I. 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:51.760 Can definitely perform. 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:53.040 Ya. 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:58.080 So that was artist Nelly giving response in an interview 0:19:58.680 --> 0:20:02.280 he did a couple of those following his performance during 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:06.359 the inaugural activities for Donald Trump. A lot has been 0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:11.000 said about him and Snoop and others who have who 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:14.040 have participated, who showed up, who in some cases said 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:17.199 kind things about Donald Trump. Angela, I know you had 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:19.679 a clip of of of snoop that you wanted to 0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:22.040 throw into Can we can we talk of that real quick? 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:24.320 I remember when we were kids. I don't know where 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:28.439 you're from. It's probably different when we were kids. No 0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:32.639 white kids wanted to be black. None of them now 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:36.480 braids tattoos. 0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:38.280 So you want to call each other that word? 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:39.160 Hello? 0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:41.520 Yeah, So what do you think that's doing to their 0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:44.760 people up top? So brainwise, you get what I'm saying. 0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:47.440 So we got to restore order because in a minute, 0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:51.080 they gonna be politicians and if they acting like niggas, 0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:53.879 then they're gonna be looking out for niggas. 0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:55.000 I understand. 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:56.399 So we need to funck this shit back up so 0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:58.000 that way they can get back in their mind that 0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:00.920 they against us. When that's it's too late now because 0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:04.320 you have so many inner relation interracial relationships, and people 0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:08.280 who have became family members. My grandson is white. 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:09.720 I'm inter racial. I'm black and white. 0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:12.359 My grandson is white, so I have no racism in me. 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:15.280 I love white people, but I don't like Donald Trump. 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:21.600 So that was Donald Trump I'm sorry. I was Snoop 0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:25.720 making some comments about Donald Trump, and that. 0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:28.600 Was from Yeah not that was not recent. I just 0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:30.600
