We try to give them information they can 21 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 2: pile up on one on top of the other, on 22 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 2: top of the other if you watch a thirty second 23 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 2: clip of me on the Breakfast Club or one minute 24 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 2: clip of me on Revolt, or you know, two minute 25 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 2: clips somewhere, you are really missing the meat of it all. 26 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,919 Speaker 2: You know, I know this is not the fun part, Jade, 27 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: where people don't want to have to do the homework 28 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 2: and sit in class, but it is so important because 29 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: we really really want to give you the information. But 30 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 2: where we are with things, and I'm saying hello to Jade, 31 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 2: thank you so much for being there as usual, Ja 32 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 2: Jay's been joining mere. I'm pretty much half of the year, 33 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 2: almost all year at this point. The reason why people 34 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 2: don't like that is because, you know, it takes the 35 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 2: boring out of it. It takes the you know, wow, 36 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 2: do I really got to go research? I really got 37 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 2: to listen? Do I really have to? And what's happening 38 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 2: with meat? And this is a little bit off topic. 39 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 2: We kind of want to throw it in there before 40 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 2: we get into today's discussion. Media is really, you know, 41 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 2: trying to figure this out. I don't know if you 42 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 2: saw their top about hiring, well, you did see because 43 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 2: you were with me when we were having a conversation MSNBC. 44 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: You know, possibly getting sold off. Viewership has went down 45 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: seventy eight, seventy to eighty percent. Rachel Maddow took a 46 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 2: pay cut, and for many of you as like a 47 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 2: pay cut from thirty million to twenty five come on, 48 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: knock it off. But it's a pay cut in her world. 49 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 2: If you look at what's happening with the media landscape, 50 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 2: you know, I've just used just a couple of men 51 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 2: to talk about this because this is important and this 52 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 2: is a part of what we do. Sure the days 53 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 2: of you know, mainstream media and thinking that people could 54 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 2: just sit here and you know, sit and watch you know, 55 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: linear television. I do because I'm in this business and 56 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 2: I follow politics twenty four hours a day. Most people 57 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 2: do not. So there's been a lot of talk about 58 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: what's next. They were very critical of Morning Joe because 59 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 2: this whole time, you know, Morning Joe's been anti Trump, 60 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 2: anti Trump, like very clear. MSNBC has taken a very 61 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 2: clear position against Fox News, very clear position, you know, 62 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 2: against anything related to Trump. And then last week week 63 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 2: or after the election, Morning Joe, Joe and Mika went 64 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 2: to mar Lago with Trump. I saw that. Yeah, through that, 65 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 2: viewers all like what the hell are you doing? Because again, 66 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 2: when you create these tribes, you know these games where 67 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 2: you're like everything about that person is wrong. And I've 68 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 2: seen it goes with the maga side, it's with restive side. 69 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 2: It's what you remove all logic to say, Okay, this 70 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: is still the president. We need to have a conversation. Well, 71 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 2: because you created a tribe, you created an environment that 72 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 2: says you want absolutely nothing to do with him. So 73 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 2: when you come back and say, well it's still you know, 74 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 2: the president, I still need to have a conversation. People 75 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 2: don't get it. And even as objective as I try 76 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 2: to be, jade as a thing, if I try to 77 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 2: be but actually bringing conservatives on my show, always have 78 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 2: even if I disagree, but opening up that that conversation, 79 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 2: talking to and with a lot of groups that people 80 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 2: would never even you don't have a conversation with, I 81 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 2: get beat up because they are it's about ownership. They 82 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 2: want me to pick one side of the other because 83 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 2: the media has created this world where you have to 84 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 2: be very tribal. So even with me being as objective 85 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 2: as I feel I can without selling out or giving 86 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 2: up on the policies that I support, I could beat up. 87 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 2: So certainly more thing Joe had to know that, as 88 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 2: you said it, for the last eight years, your audience 89 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 2: wasn't gonna be able to understand the logic behind sitting 90 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 2: in front of the Trump right because and so when 91 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 2: people fall off one, they're falling off because not one 92 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 2: one number one. They're tired of losing, they're tired of 93 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 2: they're over it. And you guys convinced them that the 94 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: messaging was right. You convinced them that the people were 95 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 2: going to vote. You convince them that Harris was gonna win. 96 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 2: You sold them a dream. And so when they lost, 97 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 2: people said, you know what, maybe they don't know what 98 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 2: they're talking about. Maybe there is you know, maybe I'm 99 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 2: getting it wrong, maybe I need to reset. So I 100 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 2: don't think that people, you know, will necessarily leave the news, 101 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 2: but how they're getting that information has changed, and Trump 102 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 2: showed that, you know, through podcasts, through digital media, through 103 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 2: digital space. So now the media has to figure out 104 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 2: and it's been trying to figure it out for the 105 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 2: last couple years. We're gonna have to really figure it out, 106 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 2: like as in the next thirty days, how do we 107 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,239 Speaker 2: get news down people's throats In twenty and thirty second 108 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 2: sound bites. Yeah, you know, how do we get a 109 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 2: one minute clip to give you what, give you something 110 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 2: and hope that you go follow the information news is jade. 111 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 2: Most people are not. Most people are not. They're not 112 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 2: going to hear that. And then you know, go on 113 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 2: and say, well let me see what really is. But 114 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 2: and this is a media I'm just giving a comms 115 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 2: you know, objective opinion here. Democrats are going to have 116 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 2: to figure out how to compete in the digital space. 117 00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 2: That they're just terrible at it. They're terrible at the 118 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 2: entertaining you know, engaging information that they need to have. 119 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 2: H they don't want to play the games of misinformation 120 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 2: or buy it. And I just don't know how you're 121 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 2: gonna do it any other way, Jade, Like you're gonna 122 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 2: have to play dirty, You're gonna have to do You're 123 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 2: gonna have to get with it like you got elon 124 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 2: musk Now and truth social so you pretty much have 125 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 2: X right and truth millions billions of people Jade. That 126 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 2: they're able to control algorithms and control how things pop up, 127 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 2: control what you see penetrating every day over and over 128 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 2: and over and over. That's effective. Yeah, effective the podcast 129 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 2: that they have on their side, millions billions of listeners. 130 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 2: We when I say we, I'm talking about black people 131 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 2: in particularly, we don't have that. You know, seventy percent 132 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 2: of people seventy percent of people that listen to podcasts 133 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 2: or white people. Yeah, so well, even black effect. Even 134 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 2: with what I'm doing, which I'm very proud of, our 135 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 2: numbers a million or so over a year, but that's 136 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 2: nothing when you're talking about twenty thirty forty million people 137 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 2: listening just to one episode of Joe Row just one. 138 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 2: So it's like a needle in a haystack in a 139 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,559 Speaker 2: world of information and the media just has to figure 140 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 2: it out. And I don't know how, Jay, what are 141 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 2: your thoughts? 142 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: I think you know, TikTok is extremely popular because you 143 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: can get they can people pack lots of information into 144 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: really small clips. Stories are pretty effective and engaging. And 145 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: I do see that the Democrats have tried to get 146 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: influencers in the mix, but I'm not sure in terms 147 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: of like how sustainable that is. But then also, I mean, 148 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: I do agree with you they do need to switch 149 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: up their strategy because a lot of it does seem 150 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: like boring. What's coming out on the right is just 151 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: so much more sensational, sensationalized and engaging. 152 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 2: So it is. 153 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: Difficult to compete with that if you're going to traditional route. 154 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to seeing how their outreach and 155 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: their publicity and pr is gonna shift as a party, 156 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: you know, over the next four years. So we shall see. 157 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 2: M hm. It's gonna be interesting. All I know, my 158 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 2: girlfriend and I were talking about this was in the business. 159 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 2: This is the work course as far as the media, 160 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: just giving you all background. This is the workhorse the 161 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,839 Speaker 2: grinders face. This is where the people that do four 162 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 2: and five and six different things will will be okay, 163 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 2: you know, we'll have some opportunities here, you know, to 164 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 2: expand a little bit. Also those of us who have 165 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 2: been consistent. And I'm not too my own horn, but 166 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 2: I'm just let me yeah, yes, I am jay, Yeah, 167 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 2: I was getting saying on to my own but yeah, 168 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ahead and to it. I'm gonna go 169 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 2: ahead and to it because this is where the consistency 170 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 2: shows up. This is where the crashing out versus the 171 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 2: consist the consistent ones shows up. And I even again 172 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 2: I commend those who consistently crash out, you know who say, 173 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 2: I just this is what I believe and if I 174 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 2: don't agree, but they're consistent with their crash out. So 175 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: where I think people will kind of lean into some 176 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 2: voices where they feel like they maybe have a little 177 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 2: bit of trust, just a little bit of trust, and 178 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 2: I think that's where I can grow a little bit, 179 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 2: not to the tune of millions of followers. I'm not 180 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 2: even setting myself up for that, Jade, and I don't 181 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 2: I don't care about that. It's not bad means. I 182 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 2: just want to be impactful, right and just give the information, 183 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 2: just give people who actually be like no, she said, 184 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 2: X y Z. And I'm putting together the information, you know, 185 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 2: and so using the various forms that I'm on, which 186 00:09:55,640 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 2: are all important. The podcasts, longer form, live show that 187 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 2: people can't engage a lot of people may think it 188 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 2: might be overdoing it, but it's really not, j because 189 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 2: every platform you know, has a different way to engage. 190 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 2: And as you see, when people get stuck with me 191 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 2: a certain way that it's very hard to get them 192 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 2: to move over. People that listen to PI, yeah, they 193 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 2: listen to the podcasts. It listen to the podcasts of 194 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 2: four years. They mayn't even go to IG at all 195 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 2: and listen to a live the point my live on IG, 196 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 2: They're just gonna listen to that live on IG, even 197 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 2: though I try to tell me come over it. A 198 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 2: lot of those people do cross pollinate the podcasts and 199 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 2: IG people they can, you know, cross pollinate, but when 200 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 2: I try to get them to go to other platforms, 201 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 2: it's a challenge for them. So I just have to 202 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 2: stretch myself as thin as I possibly can to try 203 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 2: to give information as much as I can, different information 204 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 2: on different platforms. By the way, the things we talk 205 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 2: about here are other things we talk about on other platforms. 206 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 2: But just try to give you as much as possible. 207 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 2: And I just want to thank you again, Jay, and 208 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it every single time every chance I get, 209 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 2: because this season, having to manage all of these different 210 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 2: platforms and different topics and different research and different you 211 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 2: have been killing the game.

It may 217 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 2: just be one or two people. The days of fifteen 218 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 2: producers and this executive and that executive that's over with 219 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 2: the budgets are not there. They don't have it. You 220 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 2: have to make it work. And you've been critically important 221 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 2: to that. And I just want to give your flowers 222 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 2: again for. 223 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: That you task and learning so much from you of 224 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: course about media politics and especially organizing. And I'm seeing 225 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: the impact and the growth. And now that the election 226 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,959 Speaker 1: is over, I mean the political work continues. So you 227 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: still got a lot more work to do. So let's 228 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: get it. 229 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, we've got a lot of work to do. It 230 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 2: actually just started for real, for real, like one thing 231 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 2: about Trump. You're gonna keep us talking, That's sure, keepus talking. 232 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 2: So wanted to just give, you know, take a few 233 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 2: minutes to shine some light on the Botham gene case. 234 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 2: And Jay, you know, I talk about this is working 235 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 2: with a turning crown for years about how you know 236 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 2: people always say, oh, yep, you know he sold out, 237 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 2: or he got the money before they got the criminal conviction, 238 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 2: or with George Floyd, they pretended like he didn't get 239 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 2: the money and still got the criminal conviction. This is 240 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 2: another case that I don't see nobody making no videos 241 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 2: about of a case where let me just let me, 242 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 2: let you give the set up, give the setup so 243 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 2: people can know exactly what case we're talking about, to 244 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 2: refresh their memory on the twenty eighteen case. Absolutely so. 245 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: On Thursday recently, a Dallas jury awarded ninety eight million 246 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: dollars in damages to the family of both them Jehan. 247 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: Both of them Jean was a native of Saint Lucia 248 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 1: and he was fatally shot by former Dallas police officer 249 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: Amberg Geiger in twenty eighteen. So this is a case 250 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: where amberg Geiger claims that she went into the wrong 251 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: apartment in her building. She thought she was entering her apartment, 252 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: she alleged and saw a man in there or an 253 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: intruder in there and shot and killed them. 254 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 2: Okay, So this is that case. So just so we're clear, this. 255 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: Was a ninety eight million dollar settlement in damages civil 256 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: and the damages to the family of both and John, 257 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,239 Speaker 1: and the total damages include sixty million dollars and punitive 258 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: damages reflecting Geiger's malice, wilfulness, and reckless indifference by the 259 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 1: you know it stated by the court, and then another 260 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: thirty eight million dollars in compensatory damages for emotional anguish, 261 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: financial losses, and other claims. So Geiger Ambergeiger, the former 262 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: Dallas police officer, is currently serving a ten year sentence 263 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,839 Speaker 1: for murder. She did not appear at the trial, nor 264 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: did she have legal representation. So the family of both 265 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: of john initially saw fifty four million dollars in damages, 266 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: but the jury surpassed this amount in its ruling right, 267 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: so they actually initially saw the family initially saw it 268 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: less than in the jury was like, no, y'all deserve more. 269 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: So this is this this story hopefully you know with 270 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: the settlement. I mean, it does not bring back the 271 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: loved one of both them, jehn. But definitely this is 272 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: a form of justice. This was a huge one. 273 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 2: No it is. It is not, yes, no it is. 274 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 2: I mean, people get confused on the word justice, and 275 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 2: it it's not in people's even a turning crowd. I'm 276 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 2: always trying to remind him, you know, because I tell him, counsel, 277 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 2: take your attorney head off when people hear justice. And 278 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 2: I'm thinking about it in the way that he's thinking 279 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 2: about it, which is why we did the whole documentary 280 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 2: called civil Right well justice to the average lay terms person, 281 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 2: I need. I need to feel that there was something, 282 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 2: even some retribution, if it will, if you will, you know, 283 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 2: I need to feel you know, the person went to 284 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 2: the death pending. You know, they lost the life, they died, 285 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 2: they were executed. You know, they need to feel that. 286 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 2: You know, I don't feel justified. I don't feel that 287 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 2: it's justice. So when I turn the cuss like yo, 288 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 2: I don't understand why people don't understand the civilist justice 289 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 2: well because they see the tangent, they see the money, 290 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 2: and they don't see that as a justifiable like your point, 291 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 2: you know, won't ever bring the loved one back. But 292 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 2: in the legal world, it's not. No, it is an 293 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 2: absolute form of It is multiple things. It is the 294 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 2: criminal side. Of course, people still complain about that or 295 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 2: it's just ten years, right, But just ten years ago 296 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 2: we weren't even getting that. And what people don't understand 297 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 2: is the art to justice. The long path to justice 298 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 2: is long. So there was a time it wasn't even 299 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 2: getting to ten years at all. And many of us 300 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 2: should be old enough to remember because again we're not 301 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 2: even talking about twenty years. We're talking about ten fifteen 302 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 2: years ago. So one, that's one checkbox and say okay, 303 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 2: ten next next time, hopefully it won't be a next time, 304 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 2: but it will be next time. Jaden. We got to 305 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 2: grow up, you know. Next time the punishment be even 306 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 2: harsher to stop, to hopefully prevent this from happening, to 307 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 2: continue to stop happening. Not as much. It'll go to 308 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 2: twenty years or go to thirty years, it'll go to life, 309 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 2: it'll go to the death penalty. And yes, you still 310 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 2: need compensation, just as many of you would if you 311 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 2: walk and walked in Walmart and slipped and broke your ankle. 312 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 2: Everybody said, oh man, I'll be suing Walmart on I'm 313 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 2: gonna be on in Walmart. So it's weird how you 314 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 2: don't think that if somebody takes a life in America, 315 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 2: that's how we settle disputes through financial That's how they 316 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 2: settle disputes in the penitentiary. Like what do we talk like? 317 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 2: That's still a part of pocket is getting hit. And 318 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 2: then you, of course you have people still complaining about 319 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 2: that when it ain't coming from her right that's why 320 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 2: we're talking about ending qualified immunity. But it's not coming 321 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 2: from her. We actually gain more coming from the city, guys. 322 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 2: You know why. And this is another thing that y'all 323 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 2: don't be loved love giving people misinformation on YouTube. When 324 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 2: the city has to pay, they actually make the changes. 325 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 2: Let me say it again, when the city has to pay, 326 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 2: they actually make the changes. Minnesota made the changes because 327 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 2: of George Floyd having to payout one hundred million dollars. 328 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 2: People think it's a FlexIt they saying something over still 329 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 2: that's coming out the city, that's coming out to tax payer, right, 330 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 2: so now the taxpayers. Maybe you'll give a damn who 331 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 2: the chief of police is. Maybe, but damn about what 332 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 2: training is happening or not happening. Maybe you'll give a 333 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 2: damn about who's getting fired and who's getting hired. Maybe 334 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 2: you give a damn about a police officer that murdered 335 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 2: somebody in one county can just come to your county 336 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 2: and get a job and do the same thing. So 337 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 2: it is forcing you to be a part of the 338 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 2: system that you otherwise would not. Because if it just 339 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 2: sued her as an individual, if it just sued her 340 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 2: as an individual, you have no stake in the game. 341 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 2: So we want both Jay. We want to sue the individual, 342 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 2: and we also want to sue the city because the 343 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 2: individuals working for the city at that particular time, and 344 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 2: you are liable. And if you go into a courthouse 345 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 2: right now, anything the city related and you slip and fall, 346 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 2: you will absolutely be so. And so we need to 347 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 2: knock it off. I think the people that push that again, 348 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,719 Speaker 2: they're just they're against the turning cruck. They're again, whatever 349 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 2: this is, it's personal to them. Some of it is 350 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 2: straight up jealousy, I'm be honest with you. Some of 351 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 2: it is just being a contrarian just to be one. 352 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 2: Some of it is people just feeding their angry base 353 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 2: because they need something that they need something to be 354 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 2: mad about on a daily basis. Because none of it 355 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 2: makes any sense at all whatsoever. 356 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: Right, And let's keep in mind that Boston John was 357 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: a twenty six year old accountant and when this happened 358 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 1: on September sixth, twenty eighteen, he was literally sitting in 359 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: his living room eating ice cream. 360 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 2: And in Amber. 361 00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: Geiger, you know, she came in off duty in unify 362 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 1: form and she claims that she entered the wrong apartment, 363 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: you know, with this particular settlement, both of them. John's 364 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: family actually praised the decision, So why not, you know, 365 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 1: why not? I would love to see more folks standing 366 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: in solidarity with both of them. John's family fund decision. 367 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 2: It's not fun of them Jay, just like it ain't 368 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 2: fun for them to keep talking about this from twenty eighteen. 369 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 2: This is what I tell people all the time. These 370 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 2: cases go on and people move on. These cases go on, 371 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 2: you still have to file motions, they still gotta fight 372 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,479 Speaker 2: the appeal. They got to do all of that. So 373 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 2: when people be talking about what they would do and 374 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 2: not doing, we need Johnny Cochran who bought away his 375 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 2: high settlement was five million dollars by the way, and 376 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 2: respectfully you know rest people, Yeah, rest in peace to uh. 377 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 2: He did police batality as well. He did civil rights 378 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 2: as well before he worked for them people in the 379 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 2: in the prosecution's office. So I know that's another thing 380 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 2: in the world they love talking about. We need Johnny 381 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 2: Cochran's back. No, I don't know which rest and peace 382 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 2: again that Johnnie cockran and was big mentor to ban Krump. 383 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 2: But when that and we look at the numbers. Nobody 384 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 2: has recovered more of a black life than Benjamin Krump. 385 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 2: You're just saying when people say, what do you mean return, 386 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 2: what do you mean recover a black life? Yeah? Actually 387 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 2: making them, actually making them be held responsible. Yeah, nobody's 388 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 2: done it. Nobody. The attorney Crumbs got the highest award 389 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 2: for a black woman ever with twelve million with BROWNA Taylor. Yeah. 390 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 2: These are facts and affected more legislation, actual laws over 391 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 2: one hundred cities that have actually put some level of 392 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 2: police accountability in place, including Colorado that ended qualified immunity. 393 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 2: These are the things that I be getting on Crump 394 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 2: about that get on my nerve because I don't think 395 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 2: they highlight that enough. 396 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. 397 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just. 398 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: Really interesting in terms of standing in solidarity with the family. Again, 399 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: they are pleased with this verdict. This is from a 400 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: statement that the family made well. Today's verdict sends a 401 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: clear message that law enforcement officers who commit crimes cannot 402 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: be insulated from the consequences of their actions. The other 403 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: thing that's really notable about this case test is that 404 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: the jury concluded that Amber Geigris's actions were excessive and unreasonable, 405 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: and the jury cited her recklessness and the resulting impact 406 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 1: on John's family. So this case itself, it just serves 407 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: as a really really significant milestone in holding law enforcement 408 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 1: accountable in civil core. 409 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 2: I think, you know, like I said, we'll just continue it, 410 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 2: We'll continue to cover it. I want people to uh 411 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 2: these things again. You don't see these also all over 412 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 2: social media. You see when the issue happens, but you 413 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,360 Speaker 2: don't see year over year over year over year over 414 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 2: year on what it actually takes to do this. And 415 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 2: this is why you don't see a lot of civil 416 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 2: rights attorneys doing this type of work. So when people 417 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 2: are saying why did they always call it turn to crown? 418 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 2: Why did they always call all of this work went 419 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 2: in without charge in the family of die, let me say, 420 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 2: well more time since twenty eighteen, somebody gotta file these motions. 421 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 2: Somebody got and they're not getting this money right now either. 422 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 2: They set up to go through the appeals and all 423 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 2: of that. So who's gonna file these motions, Who's gonna 424 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 2: do deal with the media, who's gonna put the money up? 425 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 2: It ain't gonna be none.

So latch on, buckle up, try to 503 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 2: read as much as you can when you can. But 504 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 2: just getting out of it and saying I'm done with it, 505 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna put my head in the sand. That's 506 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 2: not a good idea either. Right. 507 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: Listen, the president of Left is talking about giving police immunity. 508 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: So quite frankly, with this particular ruling that attorney in 509 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 1: Cramp achieved for the Bothmer John family, we may not 510 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 1: see it's a possibility we may not see a ruling 511 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: like this in a very very long time, depending. 512 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 2: Hossibility is not they're gonna make again through their I 513 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 2: know a lot of y'all friends said that Project twenty 514 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 2: twenty five wasn't a real zame. Well, you don't have 515 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 2: the name of Project twenty twenty five, but what it's 516 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 2: called is putting people in position at every level, every branch. 517 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 2: That's what it's called. So if say, Project twenty twenty 518 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 2: five bothers you, fine, let's talk about what it does. Though. 519 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 2: It's putting somebody at every level. And they've been doing this, 520 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 2: so what's fake about it? What are y'all talking about? 521 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 2: They've been doing this. That's how they were able to 522 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:20,919 Speaker 2: get roll versus way turned over. So these types of lawsuit. 523 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 2: But I got news for you, family. It ain't just 524 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 2: about nobody getting shot. I'm talking about discrimination at the job. 525 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 2: I'm talking about I went and got anything that's giving 526 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 2: you anything that's holding anybody accountable for anything with race, gender, 527 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 2: the right thing to do on anything. You are about 528 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 2: to see in real time what it looked like because 529 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 2: the attorneys are not gonna take the case because they 530 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 2: can't because they can't do it, and it's about to 531 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 2: get money on the back end like they usually do. Okay, 532 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 2: let me take the case, let me get twenty thousand 533 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 2: on the back end. That's not gonna happen because there's 534 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 2: no twenty percent that's coming on the back in. You can't 535 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 2: afford to hire them for a four or five six 536 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 2: year average, two to three years to fight the companies now, 537 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 2: and I'm talking about with your job. The companies now 538 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 2: have zero pressure to say, let me just pay this 539 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 2: and move on because we don't want the negative publicity. 540 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 2: Because a lot of this what's happening with this administration 541 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,199 Speaker 2: is relieving people of anything negative that has anything to 542 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 2: do with diversity and inclusion. So what used to be 543 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 2: that slam and say, oh, such and such company not 544 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 2: hiring black people, are such and such companies let black 545 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 2: people go? Doesn't matter anymore. They have effectively changed that 546 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 2: narrative to say, what's the problem, Just go get another 547 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 2: job somewhere else. Please say about boot straps. So we're 548 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 2: gonna get a chance to CJ like in real time, 549 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 2: in real time and not just this year. I'm talking 550 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 2: about five years down the row, six years down row, 551 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 2: you know, to see like how this is really gonna 552 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 2: trickle out? Right? What it really means to have judges 553 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 2: that can be favorable to you. So all of y'all 554 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 2: have said you ain't voting, y'all forgot that circuit judges 555 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 2: were on the bench, were on the ballot, right, and 556 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 2: so by not voting for those circuit judges, you're gonna 557 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 2: get a chance. Wait till child support, Wait till that 558 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 2: bootstrap child support, I start moving with that. They're literally 559 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 2: picking people up in Detroit, like going to people's house 560 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 2: wait for child support violation. Yes, ma'am, yes, ma'am. It's 561 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 2: no more that you know. I used to be just 562 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 2: you know, if you get a ticket, get pulled over, 563 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 2: maybe they elevate, you know that type of you know, 564 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 2: maybe something happening you just no, no, no. They're knocking 565 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 2: on people's doors, guys. So you can be mad at 566 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 2: the baby mama. You chose all you want to.

But guess what, the people knocking on doors. 570 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 2: They knocking on doors, and you're gonna be standing before judge, 571 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 2: pull your boot bootstrap up, judge that they ain't gonna 572 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 2: give a damn about what's going on with the economy, 573 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 2: and give a damn about what you're talking about.
