27
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,959

28
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: And for whatever reason, um, you know, your people think

29
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: that being that it's on Zoom, you can do more. Right,

30
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: So to be a lot of stuff on your schedule

31
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: Zoom is exhausted. I'm tired of Zoom, but I need

32
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: some human interaction when it comes to these meetings and

33
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: interviews and whatever else. Yeah, I've been I've been doing

34
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: a lot of Zoom calls. What I've been doing now recently,

35
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: I ain't even gonna front. I've been doing it on

36
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: my phone and just being like, my video doesn't work,

37
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: so I could just do it as like a just

38
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: a conference call. I've been doing it that a couple

39
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: of times. Hilarious a couple of times. But why don't

40
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: you want to be seen? Um? Sometimes like other things

41
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: to do and when you do a zoom call, you

42
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: just got to really be sitting down into the zoom call.

43
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: But I like to multitask. So there's a million one things.

44
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: I got five kids, There's a lot of things going on,

45
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: So sometimes I just put it on the phone and

46
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: keep it moving like that. That is true. You do

47
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: a lot of these zoom meetings. People will be doing

48
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: be doing a lot of other stuff. They'd be cooking, cleaning,

49
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: and like people will be trying to do two and

50
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: three things that want when they on the zoom I

51
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: don't even know. Well, yesterday I went out and I

52
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: was walking around in Brooklyn. I was like, let me

53
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: get out of the house again and go for a

54
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: little walk. There with a lot of very peaceful protests

55
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: here in Brooklyn yesterday. So and today they are actually

56
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: going to be Mike Fell. And today they're actually going

57
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: to be having a memorial service for George Floyd and

58
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: Brooklyn and Cabin Plaza at one o'clock. Well, the three officers,

59
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: three other officers were charged yesterday. Absolutely Now the chargers

60
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: were were aiding and a betting to murder. Was that

61
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: that second degree Yeah, aiding and a betting the second

62
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: degree murder because they also Chabin's charges to second degree

63
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: instead of third degree. Right, what that means? You got

64
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: Attorney ben Crump calling in this morning, because that's right, Attorney,

65
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what any of that means. That's right,

66
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: Attorney Benjamin Crump will be checking in. Yeah, because I

67
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: would think that the other three officers who were I

68
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: think it was two other officers, we're kneeling. We're kneeling

69
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: on him as well, like on his lord experimities like

70
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: his back and stuff like that. So I would think that,

71
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: you know, being that they physically were on him, you know,

72
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: they would be charged with something a little little stronger

73
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: and aiding and the betting, but hey, what do I know?

74
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: Charges of the charges that will stick? Who knows? Man?

75
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: And then yesterday I think they had the uh the

76
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: mug shots of all four officers. Were the other three

77
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: or released yesterday and people were asking, was the lack

78
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: one of the officers h lack of African American? Was

79
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: he a minority? Do we know they did not get ethnicities?

80
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: I didn't see that anywhere. One of them definitely Asian?

81
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: Right now, we know what we want to look at

82
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: that and see that. But they're saying none of them.

83
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: They can't tell they can't tell you. There were some

84
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: people were saying he was Asian, some people saying he

85
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: was black, some people were saying he was Latino. Day

86
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: they were trying to get to, you know, find that out.

87
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: But anyway, we have Attorney Benjamin Crump. He'll be checking in.

88
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: He'll be breaking down the charges because I have no

89
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: idea what those charges meaning and how much time those

90
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: officers could really get. And we also have Reverend doctor

91
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: William Barbro here'll be checking in as well. Absolutely, you

93
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: let's get the show cracking front page news. What we're

94
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: talking about, Well, I guess um we were going to

95
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: be talking about George Player, but maybe we should say

96
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: that for Ben Crump because we just kind of gave

97
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: all of that. So let's talk about these other officers,

98
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: six Atlanta officers who were charging the arrest of the

99
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: Kyllege students that they dragged from the car and hit

100
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: with stun guns. All Right, we'll get into that next.

101
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: Keeping lock this to Breakfast Club. Good morning phoning everybody

102
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we all

103
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: the breakfast club. Let's get in some front page news

104
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: where we starting you. Well, yesterday Barack Obama had a

105
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: virtual town hall. It was founded by my Brother's Keeper Alliance,

106
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: and he partners with that with his Obama Foundation. We've

107
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 1: all done a lot of different things with my Brother's Keeper.

108
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: And here is what Barack Obama had to say about

109
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: young people and how much they inspire him. Part of

110
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: what's made me so hopeful as the fact that so

111
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: many young people have been galvanized and activated. Because historically,

112
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: so much of the progress that we've made in our

113
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: society has been because of young people. Doctor King was

114
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: a young man when he got involved. Caesar Chavez was

115
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: a young man, Malcolm X was a young man. And

116
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: so when sometimes I feel despair, I just see what's

117
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: happening with young people all across the country and it

118
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: makes me feel optimistic. It makes me feel as if

119
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: this country's gonna get better. When Barack Obama was yea,

120
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: they say no, I'm gonna say that's right because if

121
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: the kids didn't kid and that that would be a problem.

122
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: Like I've imagine, you know, all of this happened and

123
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: the kids didn't have a reaction to it. Imagine if

124
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: nobody had a reaction to it, And imagine if everybody

125
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: just went on about that day after something like this,

126
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: then you would mate, Damns America have a post. We

127
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: should know it's alive. When Barack Obama was in office, though,

128
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: he did roll out a number of policies to help

129
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: curb those incidents of police brutality, like he created a

130
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: task force with guidelines on twenty first century policing. He

131
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: also limited the transfer of military equipment to police departments,

132
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: but Donald Trump's administration did roll back some of those reforms. Now,

133
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: in addition to that, Barack Obama talked about a change

134
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: in mindset and how we have to keep the momentum going.

135
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: There is a change in mindset that's taking place, a

136
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: greater recognition that we can do better. That's a direct

137
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: result of the activities and organizing and mobilization and engagement

138
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: of so many young people. And so I just have

139
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: to say thank you to them. Just make sure that

140
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: we now follow through because at some point attention moves away.

141
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: In addition to Daddio also gave three ways that you

142
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: can make change. Number one, we know there are specific

143
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: evidence based reforms that if we put in place today,

144
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: would build trust save lives. Those are included in the

145
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: twenty first Century Policing task Force Report. You can find

146
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: it on Obama dot or number two. A lot of

147
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: mayors and local elected officials read and supported the task

148
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: Force report, but then there wasn't enough follow through. So

149
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: today I am urging every mayor to review your use

150
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: of force policies with members of your community and commit

151
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: to report on planned reforms. Number three, Every city in

152
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: this country should be a My Brother's Keeper community because

153
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: we have two hundred and fifty cities, counties, tribal nations

154
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: who are working to reduce the barriers and expand opportunity

155
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: for boys and young men of color through programs and

156

Speaker 1: polo see reforms and public private partnerships. So go to

157
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: our website get working might changes. We have to dismand

158
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: through the mechanism of white supremacy, and the people who

159
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: benefit from white supremacy have to be able to relinquish

160
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: some of that power and privilege. Until that happens, it

161
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: is going to continue to be oppression. You just can't

162

Speaker 1: get right, man. Usually your mike is too loud. Today

00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: They got they gotta figure this out there, you go.

165
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: I can't do nothing. It sound like you turned it up.

166
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: It got loud. Maybe they turned it up into in

167
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: the studio all right, And the six Atlanta police officers

168
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: had been booked after charges were filed against him. That

169
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: was in Atlanta. They were filmed, as you know, breaking

170
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: the windows of a vehicle and they yanked uh Spellman

171
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: College and Morehouse College students out of the car. Twenty

172
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: two year old Messiah Young was dragged from the vehicle

173
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: and his girlfriend, twenty year old Tony A Pilgrim, was

174
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: also dragged from her vehicle. Uh Now, they did try

175
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: to press charges against Young. He was charged with attempting

176
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: to elude the officers, and Atlanta Mayor Keisha lands Bottom

177
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: said she's ordering that his charges are dropped, and body

178
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: camera video shows that they also took another young man

179
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: into custody in a downtown and a down a downtown

180
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: street alongside a line of stop cars as well. He

181
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: was pleading with police to let him go, saying that

182
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: he didn't do anything. So they are happy that these

183
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: officers are being held accountable for their actions. Two of

184
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: the officers whose fires were announced Sunday, investigators Ivy Streeter

185
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: and Mark Gardner, were charged, and there were four other

186
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: officers charged as well. They're being charged with aggravated assault

187
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: for using a taser against Young and charged with pointing

191
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: Do you see that, man A du Blasio. Okay, that's

192
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: how a man is supposed to treat corrupt police officers. Okay.

193
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: I love elected officials who care about the people more

194
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: than they care about the system. The system is supposed

195
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: to work with us, and when it doesn't, and when

196
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: there's an abusive power from the system, they got to

197
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: be held accountable. As simple as that got them up

198
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: out of there quick. We can't do that. Can't do

199
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: that when you're in the police in your pocket like

200
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 1: mad Bliss and the Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard

201
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: announced those charges during a news conference that happened. Atlanta

202
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,480

212
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: this ros Au Bro. How are you feeling to day? Man?

213
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: I'm feeling fine. One love to you all, one love

214
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: to y'all in these get it off your chest, bro, man,

215
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: I'm upset about that black authors of sci fi have

216
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: no outlets. Really, like we're kind of rejected and thrown

217
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: and loose from the film industry to the book literaries,

218
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 1: to the publishing companies. You know, like we really need

219
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: some some better outlets for black sci fi authors. Now,

220
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: I agree smooth my dude s investor, he got this

221
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: line call planet Dad, But I agree with you. It's

222
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: only because they don't take us serious in that space

223
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: right now. They look at black people and they think

224
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: we're only supposed to be writing about one thing, which

225
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: is usually the screet life, right, And that's that's like

226
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: like they want us just to walk write an identity

227
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: of corruption and nothing that develops us or gives us

228
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: some science about life, you know. So like in my

00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: book The Black Rosa Coush, we got everything in there

230
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,679

00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: not saying not defending her. But let's be honest. We

307
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: all say things out of anger, out of hate, out

308
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: of being confused. So we'll see what she has to say.

309
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: Hopefully she apologizes, she understands what she said that was,

310
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: and listen, I'm fine if you want to cancel this.

311
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: Don't put death on the person, all right, harsh I

312
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: feel and you know what, and I think she was.

313
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: She was a little emotional. You know, her brother got

314
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: shot and killed and she was discussing that and a

315
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: lot of different things. And she may have misspoke. So

316
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: we'll see what she has to say this morning. Okay,

317
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: that's cool. Well, listen, I'm also to say about my

318
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: job real quick, right, So my job took the right

319
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: spin as far as like blacking outs like their website

320
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: and putting out a bunch of messages to our company

321
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: and stuff and mind work at Montgomery County. Montgomery County

322
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: also their mayor also claimed that Black Lives Matter as

323
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: a terrorist organization. And you should see the way that

324
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: people at my job right acting about the way that

325
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: my company is standing behind Black Lives Matter batter so

326
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: I might need to be finding another company. It's crazy

327
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: that people take Black Lives Matter as a terrorist organization.

328
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: An organization that's actually sticking up for people because they're

329
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: tired of seeing black people get killed at the hands

330
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: of the pole is a terrorist. We're gonna strange plank you,

331
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 1: dight five five one oh five one. Get it off

332
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 1: your chest now you we got rumors on the way. Yes,

333
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: we're gonna be talking about Drew Brees. People are very

334
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: upset at him. Lebron James is leading the athlete pushback

335
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 1: on some of his comments on protests. All right, we'll

336
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: get into that next. Keep it lot, It's the Breakfast Club.

337
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: Good morning, the Breakfast Club. It's about angela Ye fund

338
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 1: to Breakfast Club. So Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has started

339
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: his own start small fund and he's putting up three

340
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: million dollars of his own money into that fund, and

341
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 1: it's all aimed at Kaepernicks Know Your Rights Camp. So

342
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: he's dedicating that money to pay legal calls for protesters

343
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: who got arrested while fighting for justice for George Floyd.

344
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: So you can see you on Twitter. Three million to

345
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick's No Your Rights Camp to vance a liberation

346
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: and well being a black and brown communities through education,

347
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: self empowerment, mass mobilization to elevate the next generation of

348
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 1: change leaders. And that's what he said, that money is

349
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: going towards. So as you know, Conlin Kaepernicks Know Your

350
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: Rights Camp started a legal defense initiative to cover legal

351
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 1: bills for the freedom fighters. Oh, salute to Jack. That's right.

352
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: That's that's how you use your privilege in paper to

353
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: combat prejudice. Salute to Jack. Yes, And now let's talk

354
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: about Drew Brees from the New Orleans Saints. The quarterback.

355
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: He had some things to say when he talked about

356
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: seeing players kneeling during the national anthem when football resumes.

357
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: And here's what he had to say when he was

358
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: questioned about that. I will never agree with anybody disrespecting

359
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: the flag of the United States of America. Let me

360
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 1: let me just tell you what I feel when the

361
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: national anthem is played. And when I look at the

362
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: flag of the United States, I envision my two grandfathers

363
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: who fought for this country during World War Two? And

364
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: is everything right with our country right now? No? We

365
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: still have a long way to go. But I think

366
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: what you do by standing there and showing respect to

367
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: the flag with your hand over your heart is it

368
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 1: shows unity. It shows that we are all in this together,

369
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: we can all do better, and then we are all

370
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: part of the solution. Drew Brees shut the f up forever.

371
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: I watched that video a few times yesterday. I didn't

372
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: understand the context, Like what it was they asking him

373
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: about kneeling in peaceful protests? Was they asking him about

374
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: the protest now? Like why did he volunteer that information

375
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 1: at a time like this, I'm not sure? And they

376
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: showed pictures him kneeling before, So I was lost in

377
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: confusing exactly. Well, for any white people who don't understand this,

378
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: notice you wonder why so many black folks have a

379
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: problem with patriotism. It's because how can we salute a

380
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 1: country that enslaved us and continues to brutalize us. Drew

381
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: Brees sees America, you know, for the beautiful country. It

382
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: is because he's a white privileged male. That's how he

383
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: sees America, because this white supremacist system works well for

384
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: him because it was designed too. So he don't see

385
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: the same America. We see well, Lebron responded. He said, Wow, man,

386
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: is it still surprising at this point? Sure? Isn't You

387
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: literally still don't understand and why CAP was kneeling on

388
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: one knee has absolute nothing to do with the disrespect

389
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,719
Speaker 1: of the flag and our soldiers men and women who

390
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: keep our land free. My father in law was one

391
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: of those men who fought as well for this country.

392
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: I asked him questions about it and thank him all

393
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: the time for his commitment. He never found caps peaceful

394
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: protests offensive because he and I both know what's right

395
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 1: is right and what's wrong is wrong. God bless you.

396
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: A lot of players also, a lot of NFL players

397
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: went online to vocalize how they felt about Drew Brees' comments,

398
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: which a sherman said, He's beyond lost. Guarantee you they

399
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: were black men fighting alongside your grandfather. But this doesn't

400
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: seem to be about that that uncomfortable conversation you are

401
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: trying to avoid by injecting military into a conversation about

402
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: brutality and equality as part of the problem, Julius Pepper said,

403
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: if you're still talking about players disrespecting the flag by

404
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: kneeling during the national anthem. Clearly you're not ready for

405
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: these conversations. Call a time out and come back later now.

406
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: Some of his most well known teammates from the Saints,

407
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: including top wide receiver Michael Thomas, also publicly had things

408
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: to say. Michael Thomas had elevated innovation over ignorance, and

409
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: Stephen Jackson actually responded to Michael Thomas his comments and said,

410
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: this where the whole Drew Brees accountable. Mike. I don't

411
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: give it down if you throw you all of them touchdowns,

412
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: bad time and Drew Brees bad timing. Bro. All right,

413
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 1: you played from the walls and you live in the walls.

414
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: All the black people knew, all of us support you,

415
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 1: Drew Brees. You gotta be a little bit more sensitive

416
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: to the timing. Bro. You can't just be saying about

417
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: your ass. You should understand, but y'all gotta hold all

418
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: y'all white team makes accountable, bro, Drew Brees, if you

419
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: ain't down with us, then you on the other side. Yeah,

420
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: it's gonna be rough in that Saints loocking room, uh

421
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: this year. But I also want to tell any white

422
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: person out there who doesn't get it. If you don't

423
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: understand why cap was kneeling. Then go watch the video

424
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: of that white devil cop kneeling on George Floyd's neck

425
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 1: for almost nine minutes, and then you'll probably get it.

426
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I'm Angela Yee and that is your

458
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: cause of death with mechanical asphyxiation based on the knee

459
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: to the neck by Chauvin for almost nine minutes, eight

460
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: minutes and forty six seconds Angie to be exact. And

461
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: then the two knees in the back on the video Charlemagne,

462
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: when we look at the other officer who kept his

463
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 1: knees there the entire time, and so it was pressing

464
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: down on his lungs, not allowing them to contract and

465
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: intake or dispense air, which caused no blood flow to

466
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: go to his brain, and he was starving from a

467
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: lack of error. Literally, that's where it died from the

468
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: legal definition of the autopsy was homicide. Obviously that's most

469
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: important for the criminal charges. And so those were the conclusions,

470
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: and they were contradictory to the conclusions of the county

471
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: ba's who MEDICA examiners are autopsy and so that's what

472
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: he used the basis charges. Angie, how can there be

473
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: two such different autopsy results, That's what I wanted to

474
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 1: ask you, because I know the family. You guys did

475
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: go ahead and order an independent one. So how can

476
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: something like that happen? Angie? Happens more often than you

477
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,959
Speaker 1: would think. The Medica examiner who works with the police

478
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: departments every day, they come up with these amazing imaginary

479
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: ways to tell us what we saw really didn't happen

480
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 1: or was not the cause of death. And so the

481
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: counter medical examiner did agree that it was homicide after

482
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: we came out with it. But then he said it

483
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: could be genitive heart failure, that he had some underlying

484
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: health conditions that were undiagnosed, and so he said that

485
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: is a condition that could have killed them because they

486
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 1: saw no trauma to the trachea or not enough trauma

487
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: to the creakier even though our doctors disagree with that.

488
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: And they said, and Jane Charlemagne and easy, the old

489
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: thing they always say, Oh he had drugs in his system,

490
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: had coronavirus. That's what I heard some newer hurt this morning. Yeah,

491
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 1: that's they saying that too. But that didn't kill them,

492
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: even if it was there. No fitting all didn't kill them.

493
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: No meth and fail amine killed them. All of those,

494
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: I believe, or just distractions to try to us throw

495
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: us off track, calling like Eric Garder, y'all y'all in

496
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: New York, y'all know how they came out and tried

497
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: to literally say that Eric Gardner didn't die from what

498
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: those officers did. So that's why we got to stay vigilant.

499
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 1: I know, we're talking about making sure we get a

500
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 1: conviction all the officers on this case. And then Tesla

501
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: is helping me talk about the political ramifications of how

502
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: we use this moment to turn it into systematic reforming legislation.

503
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: Let's hear it, t Let's hear that. That's what I

504
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 1: want to hear. How do we keep prevent things like

505
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: this from happening? Absolutely well, it's really important that we

506
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: continue to collective pressure. You know, we talk about collective

507
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: pressure all the time, and one thing is due to

508
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: keep making sure that the message is consistent from a

509
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 1: public standpoint. It's really important we keep hearing folks talk

510
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: about the property damage. Let us all remember that when

511
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 1: black people came to this country, the first thing that

512
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: they did was make us property. So there has always

513
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: over property being more important than black lives in black bodies.

514
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: So it's really important, particularly to my breakfast club family,

515
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: that we continue to keep the narrative consistent that one

516
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 1: we need systematic change. I know Reverend Al Sharpton will

517
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: be announcing some things today at the eulogy to talk

518
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: about how we can come together to talk about federal

519
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: laws that need to be in place, and those are

520
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: the type of things that we need to keep the

521
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: pressure on. We cannot allow this to be used as

522
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: the poltical pond to have a center and Klobuchar or

523
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: Biden or Trump or whoever to use this to push

524
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 1: one agenda over the other. We must keep the main

525
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: thing the main thing, and consistently talk about how do

526
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: we get lost in place to make sure that police

527
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: officers go to jail when they kill us. It's not

528
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: about trying to change the heart of anybody, but it

529
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: is about with diversity, training and so forth. That's important.

530
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: But the main thing is if you get caught killing us,

531
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: if you get caught doing us wrong, you will go

532
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: to jail and that will be an immediate conviction. I

533
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: will probably say this is the fastest that we've ever

534
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: had a result. And this because people have been in

535
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: the street, protesting, using their voices online and having folks

536
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: like you at the breakfast club. They continue to keep

537
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: that message consistent. Hey Ben, let me ask you a question.

538
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: How come to other officers who kneeled on him? Why

539
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: weren't they giving charges other than aiding in a bedding?

540
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: You know? Attorney General Keith Ellison said to the family

541
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: and me that they're continuing to investigate and if they

542
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: find evidence that will sustain the first degree murder charge

543
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: against Chauvin, they will upgrade that charge. And I believe

544
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna find that information out there because I think

545
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: he knew George Floyd. I think they had a history,

546
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: and so we got to keep on that. Charlomagne and

547
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: number two, he said, if those other officers we can show,

548
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: based on their audio from their body cameras that they

549
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: had mental thoughts that were ill will against George, he

550
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: will increase the charges. He said. He just doesn't have

551
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: that evidence yet. And I do want to say whether

552
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: it's a model, But Brianna Taylor, George, what we gotta

553
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,239
Speaker 1: do them with tes as a political consultant to all

554
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: of us, Chalomagne's happen us with his systematic response in

555
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: all of these cases, so black people the criminal justice

556
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: system to work the same in Minnesota as it does

557
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: in Georgia, or as doing Kentucky, or in state and

558
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: all in New York. We need federal systematic reform to

559
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: make sure this moment for George Floyd is not just

560
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: a moment, but it's a movement to prevent other brothers

561
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: and sisters from being being killed. Now, let me ask you,

562
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: what can I ask you? A technical question? I've heard

563
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: people saying that it's a lot harder to convict an

564
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,959
Speaker 1: officer or first degree murder, so they're saying that's why

565
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: that's not a charge that they would prefer. I just

566
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: want to ask you, as an attorney, because I don't

567
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: know obviously the ins and outs of that, So are

568
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: we trying to do that? Is that? Is there truth

569
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: to that? Now, Queen, there's a lot of truth to that.

570
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: It's very really that the officers ever convicted the first

571
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: degree murder. That's what made both of them. John such

572
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: a phenomenon. You remember the first time in the history

573
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: of white policewoman was convicted the first degree murder for

574
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: killing a black person. Because people want to believe police,

575
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: no matter how much they show us that they have

576
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: this legacy of being the slave patrol. A lot of

577
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: our white brothers and sisters want to say, no, no,

578
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: they're just doing their job. They're good people, and they

579
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: didn't premeditate this. They didn't intend this. This is just

580
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: something that happened, but they torch it. George Floyd, I mean,

581
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: the governor Minnesota was right to say we want to

582
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: investigate them for human right abuses in Van Charloma, because

583
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: I mean, they tortured them. Nine minutes, he's saying I

584
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: can't breathe. He's asking for his mama. I mean, think

585
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: about the psychology of that for a second. The person

586
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: who protects us most when we come in this world.

587
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: It's innate for us to always think about our mothers,

588
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: our protector. And then at the end of his life,

589
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: in a desperate police he say Mama, mama, and then

590
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: he does a documentary of his death and he says,

591
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: I'm gone now. So that's why this is gonna be

592
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: a hard funeral and memorial for the family. So we

593
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: are big only serious mental health counseling. Charlotte made all

594
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: his family, especially his children and his brothers and sisters. Yeah,

595
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: me and Tayla was talking about that last night. We're

596
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: trying to put something together, you know, for the families

597
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: to get that grief counseling that they need. Tay I

598
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: don't want to ask you a question real quick. I started.

599
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: They allowed Amy Klobuchar to announce that the officers were

600
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: being arrested. That felt political to me. Why did she

601
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: announce instead of Keith Ellis? Absolutely, well, we are let's

602
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: just keep a real straight shout with no Jason, you know,

603
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: being as nice, I'm gonna get a little bit rough.

604
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: But she did it because again she has to make

605
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: some type of amends to the black community. Too bad

606
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: she wasn't doing that type of announcement years ago when

607
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: she had an opportunity to discipline this officer, to the

608
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: fire officer, to prosecute this officer. So what we're not

609
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: getting ready to do in twenty twenty is played this

610
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: game as this political pond, and she's continued to push

611
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: her VP application up. And to be real, it's gonna

612
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: be reviewed and it's gonna be reviewed by the people,

613
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: and we'll determine on whether or not we think she's

614
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: a suitable cab for vice president. So I think a

615
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,719
Speaker 1: lot of us are on it that the jig is up.

616
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,719
Speaker 1: We are able to figure out Amy, that you had

617
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,719
Speaker 1: an opportunity to speak up. So don't start with tweets

618
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: down that this is me saying an attorney Benjamin Crump,

619
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,239
Speaker 1: he's more Martin, I'm more Malcolm. So let's be clear. Uh,

620
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: Senator Cloby char we see it, We see you. We

621
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: keep the game, and let's she also be a vocal

622
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: voice and actually getting some federation passed. That's where her

623
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: opportunity is to step in and not to try to

624
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: use this as a political I just see this Aman,

625
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: Charlotte Main and Angie. This guy had eighteen previous allegations

626
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: of excessive force, most of them against minorities, so it

627
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: was for silver. The problem Amy club charge was the

628
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: district attorney before she became senator, so they could have

629
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: prosecuted this guy and George Floyd will still be alive. Well,

630
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: we know you gotta go, and we appreciate you tes

631
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: An Attorney Benjamin Crumb for checking I know you guys

632

Speaker 1: are on seen right now. Thank you for checking in

633
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: and breaking down the charges and keeping us in for them.

634
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: And you know we got a line to you anytime

635
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: we need you. Thank you so much. Guys. All right,

00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: pray for the family memorial of my love. Thank you absolutely.

637
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: I But when we come back, we have Reverend doctor

638
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: William Barber checking into the move. It's the Breakfast Club.

639
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: Good morning, Breakfast Club. Ej Envy Angela yee, Charlomagne, the

640
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: guy we all the breakfast Club. Now we got a

641
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: special guest on the line. Right now, we have Reverend

642
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: doctor William Barbara, Good morning, brother, good morning, good morning.

643
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: Now we're saying a second ago that you and Charlomagne

644
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: were talking behind the scenes, but we were setting everything

645
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: up and we said, saved it for air. So Charloman,

646
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: what were you talking about with the brother, Well, he

647
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: was telling me about how when you go to the

648
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: meetings with these with these politicians, and he asked James,

649
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: go ahead, go ahead, Reverend Barba. At the bottom line

650
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: is in our campaign, the Poor People's Campaign, a national

651
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: call for my revival. We did an audit of America

652
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: on five interlocking injustice. Five injustices that are like interlocking

653
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: eve and you got to address all of them simultaneously,

654
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: because they try to choke the life out of what's

655
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: left of this democracy. Systemic racism in all of its forms,

656
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: systemic poverty, ecological devastation, denial of healthcare, the war econoiment

657
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: and militarism, and the false modern of religious nationalism and

658
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: white evangelicalism. When you go into meetings, you start talking

659
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: and you lay out an agenda, you actually have fifty

660
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: things or twenty things that relate to that. How we

661
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: deal with it? The question is always, well, what is

662
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: the most important, or what one thing, or for instance,

663
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: on race that say okay, well we got a commission

664
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: that we're gonna do for racism, and what we say

665
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: is we have an agenda here. And then after a

666
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 1: while I finally say, listen, look at this pandemic. We

667
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: pass three bills, three trillion dollars in less than fifty

668
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 1: forty days, back in two weeks. The corporations get everything

669
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: they want. They get three trillion dollars. So if they

670
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: can get three trillion things, then you need to hear

671
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: my fifty right. We're not We're not playing that game

672
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: because politics is not just about listening. So, I mean,

673
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: one of the things that I'm deep, deeply concerned about

674
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: right now. I heard it this morning somebody say, well,

675
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: you know Trump, listen, Trump this, but you know we

676
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: were getting along before him. I'm saying, but you were

677
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: getting along doing what's right, getting along doing what There

678
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: were hundred and forty million poor people in this country

679
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: prior to the pandemic. Forty three percent of this nation

680
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 1: and sixty one percent of African America were poor and

681
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: low income prior to this pandemic, and seven hundred people

682
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 1: were dying a day and two hundred a quarter million

683
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: a year. Seven people died from vaping, and we had

684
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: a congressional hearing. Seven people died from vaping, and there

685
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: was a presidential audience in the White House. Seven hundred

686
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: people dying a day from poverty, and sixty one percent

687
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 1: of African American poet Lowell, sixty eight percent of Latino

688
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: and politicians are scared to say poverty. Republicans are racialize it,

689
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: Democrats running from it. Nobody deals with the reality of it.

690
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 1: So we're not gonna just talk about one than we

691
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: need to talk about the comprehensive things that need to

692
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: be done. That's your question, the Reverend Bolba, why haven't

693
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: black people received the economic justice they deserve from this country?

694
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: You know, it has a long history. I want to

695
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: go through the whole history, you know it. You know

696
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: the thing that they stopped real quick was the four

697
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: acres in the mute. It's kind of like, y'all free

698
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: and Paul's two things. We weren't fighting for a long weekend.

699
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 1: And the saying we weren't fighting for was just freedom.

700
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: It was citizenship, full citizenship. I think the problem is

701
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: one we've not dealt with the extent of the problem.

702
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: That's the first thing since kings killed Robert Kennedy was

703
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,399
Speaker 1: killed nineteen sixty eight, for about fifty to two years,

704
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: if you think about it, the issue of potty has

705
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: been wiped off the table. We have a knee with

706
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: Both parties are trapped not in the same way, but

707
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 1: by a neoliberalism imagination that Baxley says, one proof says

708
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: if you take care of middle class and up, everybody

709
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: will be okay. If you take care what others says,

710
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 1: if you take care of the top, that'll trickle down. Well,

711
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: that's just not true. And so when you're trapped in

712
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: that imagination and you're not even talking about the extent

713
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: of the economic injustice. When I say one hundred and

714
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: forty million people, that's out a shock everybody. First of all,

715
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 1: the government says there's only thirty eight thirty nine million

716
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: people that are poor. That's not true. According to Columbia Harvard,

717
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: it's one hundred and forty million. Now, you cannot continue

718
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 1: to pass policies year after year after year and say

719
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: we're getting better a little bit and never deal with

720
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: the factor forty three percent of your entire population in

721
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: poverty and in this pandemic is going over fifty. So

722
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 1: the first has to deal with the extent of the issue.

723
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: So what do you think the solution should be? How

724
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: do we solve this problem? Right? Well, again, if I

725
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: might talk in the terms that I talk in in

726
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: terms of a fusion more fusion analysis, there are several

727
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: things that block us from dealing with the real economic agenda.

728
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: One starts with racism. One form of racism, and that's

729
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: racist voter suppression and jaymandering, because that's used to lock

730
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: up the system in a certain way, so that so

731
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: that people can't really break through and be engaged. What

732
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: I mean by that, we do mapping in our movement,

733
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: and every state that is a racist voters pressure state

734
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: that where the governor of the legislation to the congressional representatives,

735
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: the Senate, and the presidential candidates get elected, is skewed

736
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 1: by gerrymandering and racist Okay, that's that's the facular matter.

737
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: The courts recently called it surgical racism. So that means

738
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: that your political bodies are not really representative of the people.

739
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 1: You can actually have more people vote in a progressive way,

740
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: but then they not get elected because of racism. Now

741
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: you said, what does that have to do with economics, Well,

742
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: the economics is false by policy, not just by charity,

743
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: and not just by one or two people getting rich.

744
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: It's policy. Sixty to fifty four percent of all African Americans,

745
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: for instance, make less than a living ways. You could

746
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 1: change that tomorrow by raising the minimum ways to fifteen

747
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: dollars an hour and pump six hundred and thirty billion

748
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 1: dollars into the economy. But you can't raise that just

749
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: by asking corporation to be nice. It has to be

750
00:39:55,719 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: a policy. Voter suppression undermines our plitics. Let me quickly

751
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: show you what I mean by that. Every state that

752
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: is a racist voter suppression state, if you put the

753
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 1: map over, that is also a high povertive state. Is

754
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 1: also a state where the politicians block living wages and

755
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: block healthcare. And the people who are doing that, many

756
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: of them get elected not because they want to vote,

757
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: because they cheated through racistists vote suppression in German. So

758
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: you have so and here's the other piece of that.

759
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: The people who use race to get elected. Once they

760
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: get elected, they not only pass policies that hurt the

761
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,760
Speaker 1: overwhelm them a number of black people, They passed policies

762
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 1: that hurt white people because there are more white people

763
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,919
Speaker 1: that are poor in raw numbers then there are black

764
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: people that are more black people that are impacted by

765
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: power in terms of the percentage, but they're answer them

766
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: more white people in raw numbers. So if your politics

767
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: are locked up, then your policies are locked up. And

768
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: what kind of policies we need. We need living wages immediately.

769
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 1: We need guarantee basic income. Doctor King talked about that

770
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: years ago. Right, we need healthcare, and every congress person

771
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: gets free healthcare, every governor gets free healthcare. But when

772
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,879
Speaker 1: it comes to the people having the same thing, they

773
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: have all of a sudden, we can't afford it. We

774
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: have more with Reverend doctor William babo when we come back,

775
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: don't move. It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody

776
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne mc gad, we'all the

777
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Reverend doctor William

778
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: Babo Ye. So with everything that's been happening now with

779
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: the pandemic with coronavirus, do you feel like people are

780
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: becoming more active and that they're actually stepping up and

781
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 1: saying but the demands are and right before an election,

782
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 1: just wanting certain policies and being more involved in local

783
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: elections and all of that. Do you think that things

784
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: are about to be somewhat of a revolution. Yeah. I

785
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 1: think that those who think that the reaction to George

786
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: Floyd's murder lynching, a knee killing on camera, death by racism.

787
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: That's what we saw. I call it a Code sixty

788
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: six death by racism. But you miss it if you

789
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: think it's just about George Floyd, the same way you

790
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: would miss it if you thought the reaction to the

791
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: killing of Milly Jackson in nineteenes it to vile just

792
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: about Jimilly Jackson. We are seeing public more people are

793
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: protesting because they know it doesn't have to be like this.

794
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: People only protest what they believe can be changed. If

795
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: folk didn't protest, that meant we really would be in trouble,

796
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: because it mean people have given en of all hope

797
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 1: that things could change. Now. I think that this we

798
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: see happening has the potential for people to say, wait

799
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: a minute. When he said I can't breathe, he was

800
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,919
Speaker 1: talking about that cops knee on his neck and those

801
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: other cops only back. But I think a lot of

802
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: people heard that metaphorically. We can't breathe either. That's right

803
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 1: because of the way the poverty on our neck and

804
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 1: the denial of healthcare on our next You see, we're

805
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 1: in the midst. It's when this happened. It happened in

806
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 1: the midst of a pandemic. Prior to the pandemic, you

807
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,879
Speaker 1: had a hundred forty million people poor, seven hundred people

808
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 1: a day dying from poverty. Then you have the pandemic.

809
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: We have all this negligence in an aptitude of the

810
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 1: President and the Senate, and then we have all this money.

811
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: Three bills get passed, it goes for the corporate goes up,

812
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't come down. And then we take service workers

813
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 1: and we said, oh, we know, we'll do. We'll give

814
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: them a name change. That's all they need, changing from

815
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: service work or two essential workers. But we won't give

816
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 1: them the essentials they need. So you had three bills passed.

817
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 1: Not one of those bills guarantee of healthcare in the

818
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: middle of the pandemic. We didn't shive. Not one of

819
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 1: those bills said we're gonna guarantee sickly, We're gonna guarantee unemployment.

820
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna guarantee rent forgiveness. That actual building they passed

821
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: said you could have a moratorium on your rent for

822
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: three years three months within the fourth month. You had

823
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: to pay the three months and the fourth month at

824
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 1: the same month, or you couldn't pay one month at

825
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 1: a time. To hell, you know thrill? I mean really,

826
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: And we didn't. We didn't. We didn't even guarantee in

827
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: those those you could cut offs on a pandemic where

828
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 1: you need to wash your hand. There was nothing in

829
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: there that said you can't cut off people's water, damn right.

830
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 1: But like, but like you said, you know, I was

831
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: talking the other day. I was like, you know, you

832
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: say deferment. I ain't got to pay for three months, right,

833
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: Let's say four months. Let's say, man, I gotta get it.

834
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 1: Find a job. Do when I find a job, you

835
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,439
Speaker 1: want me to play the full four months right away? Right?

836
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: I can't afford it, and and you you can. How

837
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: could you if I couldn't pay, I can barely pay thirteen.

838
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna raise my note up so I can

839
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 1: make up the four months? Right? I can't say that

840
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be late and you're gonna be that's right,

841
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: But you immediately give the corporations two eighty five percent

842
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,240
Speaker 1: of all that money went to up top eighty five percent.

843
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 1: So basically you say to them, we're gonna pay you

844
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 1: to pay your bill. In fact, we're gonna say, poor

845
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: folk have to pay an eighty five percent searchyard just

846
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 1: to get a little tina that we didn't. We didn't.

847
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 1: You know, nobody would look brought my breakfast club. You

848
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't go to a club they had an eighty five

849
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,760
Speaker 1: I said, search, yarg on, you just coming in? Come on, y'all.

850
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: I mean, we ain't all been saved all our life.

851
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: Come Onbam. I keep saying that if Barack Obama is

852
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 1: Jeff K Joe Biden has the chance to be Lending b. Johnson,

853
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: especially in a moment like this, you think he could

854
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: be as progressive on race and classes LBJ. I think

855
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: we are in a third reconstruction. The pains of a

856
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: third reconstructive first one was reconstruction right out to slavery.

857
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 1: Then you had a reaction to that, just like Trump

858
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: was reaction to Barack Obama. We had a second reconstruction,

859
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 1: the civil rights movement then the reaction to that was

860
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: the Southern strategy and Wallace and Nixon and all that,

861
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 1: and now we're in the birth pains of a third reconstruction.

862
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 1: I said to Vice President on an Easter podcast. I

863
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: heard it all right, that there are moments that crucifixion

864
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:12,439
Speaker 1: gives you an opportunity to resurrect, but you gotta take it.

865
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: There are moments that what you may have said and

866
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 1: meant well before doesn't fit and you have to know

867
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: that moment. And not only Biden, but the Congress. I

868
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: keep saying to even to Democrats, all these energy industries,

869
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: what if people you come out, they come out with

870
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: a hero to be able even that's limited because it's limited.

871
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: They said, well, what we can't get past because of McConnell, Well,

872
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: why not passed in the House what ought to be passed.

873
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: And then McConnell wants to go against people's lives. Let

874
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: him do that publicly, and we film that and short

875
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 1: to people. And then the question to become do you

876
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: want to vote for folk we're trying to fight for

877
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: you to have healthcare, or do you want to vote

878
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 1: for folk to even in the midst of a pandemic,

879
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: will let you die. Do you want to vote for

880
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 1: people who will say you need a living wave and

881
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: will push that out there, or do you want to

882
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:04,400
Speaker 1: vote for people but believe things that really live operations.

883
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: There has to be a dicotomy, and we have to

884
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:12,240
Speaker 1: get free of this deoliberal from the middle high middle

885
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: up imagination. So I think it's possible, but it's only

886
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 1: possible if it's rooted in policy. It can't just be

887
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: a conversation. And this is the time I think you

888
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: have to do a major presentation. In fact, this is

889
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: gonna sound strange maybe to some part, and let me

890
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: say it here. I keep hearing folks and we need,

891
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: we need a black agenda. But the question is how

892
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 1: do we do that? And what I mean by that

893
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: if you look at these five interlocking injustices, what I'm

894
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: looking for and what the poor People's campaigns looking for.

895
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: And while we're meeting on June twenty of twenty twenty

896
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: four a Mans Poor People's Assembly and Marl March on

897
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: Washington that day, you're not gonna hear from me, or

898
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: say you're gonna hear from this white coal mine in

899
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: Kentucky who's hooking up these black folk from the Mississippi

900
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: Delta who decided to address racism and poverty, not just poverty,

901
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: so we don't have to deal with race and not

902
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: just race. So they think it's that's just dealing with

903
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: black people. What if we had the Congress and the

904
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: candidates forget party for a minute. What if you say,

905
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 1: here's my plan for healthcare. Let's just say healthcare this pandemic.

906
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 1: And when I put this plan together, I made sure

907
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: that addressing the disparities of race was right in the

908
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 1: center of putting it together. Now here's the plan. And

909
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: if I am elected and this plan is pushed forward,

910
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,839
Speaker 1: this is how will impact black people, this is how

911
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 1: will impact Latino people, This is how will impact children,

912
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 1: this is how That's the grown up conversation we got

913
00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: to have. Absolutely in America. I walk in every piece

914
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 1: of policy our campaign says, in every policy, we want

915
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: to know, how does it address systemic racism, systemic positive,

916
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: ecological devastation, so forths all so those, And then that

917
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: way we move from voting for a person to a

918
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: prosity that has a policy. Hi, we got more with

919
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 1: Reverend doctor William Barber. When we come back, don't move.

920
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 1: It's the breakfast Club, Good Morning morning. Everybody is DJ

921
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 1: Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the gad y'all. The Breakfast Club

922
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,800
Speaker 1: was still kicking it with Reverend Doctor William Barber Charlomane.

923
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: I keep saying, man, voting doesn't matter if the person

924
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 1: you voting for is not going to go in there

925
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 1: and help dismand through the system of white supremacy, exactly,

926
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: and and and then you got to teach folks. What

927
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 1: we do in the Poor People's Campaign is we teach

928
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: people that racism, when you really push it, it's not

929
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 1: just against black people, it's against humanity, it's against the democracy.

930
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: It hurts everybody. Remember what I said, the same p

931
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: politician that passed racist vote suppression law, block living wages

932
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 1: and block healthcare. And when they do that, it actually

933
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: blocks more in raw numbers, not in the impact way people.

934
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 1: That's why our campaign is organizing people in the hills

935
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 1: of Kentucky and in the black streets of Louisville. Because

936
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:22,799
Speaker 1: doctor King said in sixty five, anytime black poor folk

937
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: and white poor folk. He said this at the end

938
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: of the some of the Montgomery March. I think one

939
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 1: of the greatest speeches that we don't reference enough. He said,

940
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 1: anytime there's the possibility for poor black folk and poor

941
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 1: white people to change the political capitals and to change

942
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: the policy. The bourbon class noticed, he didn't say democratic republic.

943
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: He said, the bourbon class, the aristocracy sows division, sows

944
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: division by design. And so we have to first of

945
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 1: all deal with what racism is. And then second of all,

946
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: we have to examine it in every aspect of policy.

947
00:50:57,800 --> 00:50:59,439
Speaker 1: And the third of all, we have to be able

948
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:03,359
Speaker 1: to name specific policies that are going to unpack it.

949
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 1: And I and I think what people misread when when

950
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 1: when you ask these questions on the front end, they

951
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 1: act like black people like if you if you don't

952
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,319
Speaker 1: if you ask a question and push me, then you

953
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: might not vote for me in November. Well I might not,

954
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 1: But if I ask you and maybe you give me

955
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 1: fifty percent, I might look at the other person and say,

956
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:24,839
Speaker 1: well they are twenty percent, So I vote for you,

957
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 1: and then I push you after the election for the

958
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 1: rest of the fifty. But you can't just get a pass.

959
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: I got to talk quick questions, man. The poor People's campaign,

960
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 1: that's the movement. Doctor MLK Junior was pivoted too it's

961
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: ultimately I think we got him killed. What made you

962
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,720
Speaker 1: want to think, well, it got it got him killed.

963
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 1: You know, it pains me to say some of this.

964
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: But when doctor King called his nation the greatest purveyor

965
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 1: of violence, and exactly the one year to the date

966
00:51:55,760 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 1: of his death, August third, nineteen sixty seven, and he

967
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 1: started talking about the three evils poverty, racism, and militarism.

968
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 1: And he said that America couldn't be who she pretends

969
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 1: to be and promises to be without dealing with all

970
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 1: three of those moral fusion. And she said, he said,

971
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 1: we got to deal with all three of them. The

972
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:23,399
Speaker 1: next morning, over a hundred newspapers wrote against him. Some

973
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 1: black newspapers wrote against him black some black organizations wrote

974
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 1: resolutions against him, prominent organizations, some ministers turned against him.

975
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 1: He lost his invitation to the White House. And the

976
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:44,320
Speaker 1: more he started talking about the two Americas, one prosperous

977
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 1: and one poor, the more he started bringing together poor

978
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 1: and white people and black people around this agenda to

979
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 1: a deal with racism and poverty. What you see in

980
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:55,359
Speaker 1: the street now white and black folk. But talking about

981
00:52:55,440 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 1: racism poverty. Once he did that, he was marked because

982
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 1: it was about fundamentally shifting to society. Now. The other

983
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 1: half of that story is it was the black welfare

984
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:14,319
Speaker 1: rights women that kind of pushed doctor King to go

985
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:18,240
Speaker 1: in that direction, and doctor King understood something. You cannot

986
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 1: change this society until you change the narrators. That's what

987
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:26,240
Speaker 1: we're doing today. My last question, macause you are a reverend.

988
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 1: I feel like everything that's going on right now is divine,

989
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 1: and I truly feel like no good is gonna come

990
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 1: to America until they do right by black people through

991
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 1: legislation and reparations. What do you think exactly? You know

992
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 1: you cannot. John Hope Franklin said something that encapsulated it

993
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,439
Speaker 1: for me, and I'm gonna repeat him. God blessing he's

994
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:51,959
Speaker 1: gone on that. We did an interview with him. He said,

995
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:57,319
Speaker 1: you know, if I could keep somebody enslavery for two

996
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty years and then at him go and

997
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 1: just say, oops, that's what not doing reparations, that's not

998
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,319
Speaker 1: what not doing not dealing with the realities of the

999
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 1: injustices that still permeate from two hundred and fifty years

1000
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: of free labor being taken. If I can do that

1001
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 1: to somebody and then just say well, DJ and the oops,

1002
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:24,399
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, go be free. That's what John Hope Franklin said.

1003
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: Mark can't just say oops, right, not just to us,

1004
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: but to the genocide, because that toward First nation people.

1005
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:37,799
Speaker 1: You can't just say oops, you can't take and you

1006
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 1: can't build an entire country on the backs of slavery

1007
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 1: that was rooted in rooted in what we call bad biology,

1008
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 1: and that is your skin color determines your brain size

1009
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: six sociology, that is, black and white people can't be

1010
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 1: together on the same level, at the same level of

1011
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: humanity or evil. Economic that the end justifies the mean,

1012
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:03,760
Speaker 1: no matter what you do, as as long as somebody

1013
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 1: makes money is all right. And then the last one

1014
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: is heretical ontology, that is that God meant for it

1015
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 1: to be like that. You can't build an entire economic

1016
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: system and a country on top of that. And then

1017
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 1: the end of it and the end of the gym

1018
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:21,880
Speaker 1: crow legal gem crow say oo's when you're still are

1019
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: trapped in so many ways by systemic racism. Can't do that.

1020
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 1: Politicians will be only as good as we make our

1021
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 1: political system will be only as good as we make them.

1022
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:39,439
Speaker 1: And so that's why we can't even wait on them

1023
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 1: to have an agenda to an agenda and then demand

1024
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 1: that that agender be responded to it. And that's what

1025
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: the Poor People's Campaign done. We don't just talk about

1026
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:49,839
Speaker 1: the numbers and the problem. For every problem we raise,

1027
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: we have a solution. You can go to www. Poor

1028
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 1: People's Campaign Dot organ is right there your listeners, and

1029

Speaker 1: to hear it ten o'clock on every kind of social

1031
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 1: media on the MSNBC is going to do a big

1032
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 1: piece on it and let us use their entire so

1033
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 1: media platform. We want people to tune in to hear

1034
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 1: white people talking about racism, that people talking about economic

1035
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:21,919
Speaker 1: issues and telling their story and saying we are not

1036
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: going to quit until all five systemic racism, systemic poverty,

1037
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 1: ecological devastation, denial of healthcare, this war economy, and the

1038
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 1: false maderna, the religious nationalism are addressed. These these things

1039
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:37,799
Speaker 1: have to be addressed. And if you are bothered by

1040
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:40,880
Speaker 1: what we do, remember that when a man is bleeding,

1041
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: ambulance is run the light. And it's normal for an

1042
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:46,840
Speaker 1: ambulance to run the light. When folk as in trouble.

1043
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,359
Speaker 1: Doctor King said that, he said, and we need some

1044
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 1: ambulance driver drivers now, some people who are willing to

1045
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 1: refuse to obey the rules of It's all right, it's okay,

1046
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 1: just wait and wait again. Too many people, too many

1047
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 1: people are suffering. We must make our political system respond.

1048
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 1: We must do it in our deepest mall and non.

1049
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 1: I believe traditions, but it must not be weak. It

1050
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:13,399
Speaker 1: has to be strong, has to be a gender base,

1051
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: it has to last for an election and beyond an election.

1052
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 1: My brother, thank you, Mander, thank you for even having me. Doctor.

Speaker 1: Yee on the Breakfast Club. So Lauren London was on

1068
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 1: a red table talk and just as a disclaimer, they

1069
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 1: did record this prior to social distancing requirements and so

1070
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 1: at the beginning Data had to give an updated introduction

1071
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: talking about George Floyd and Madarberry, Brianna Taylor and then

1072
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 1: she sat down with Lauren London and they talked about

1073
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 1: the trauma of gun violence and how it affects women.

1074
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 1: Now here's what Lauren London had to say about meeting

1075
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 1: people who Nipsey Hustle changed their life. I love to

1076
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:48,920
Speaker 1: meet people that nip has like really inspired because it

1077
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 1: feels like he's still here even though he is in

1078
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 1: a way, but it's like his purpose that was completely

1079
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 1: outside of any of us. His purpose he's touching people.

1080
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 1: Still a fine that when I run into people that

1081
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: tell me how he's changed your life. Now. She also

1082
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 1: talked about raising black boys and having to prepare them

1083
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 1: to interact with police officers. What I instill in them

1084
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 1: is more about the police, how to handle yourself when

1085
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:20,959
Speaker 1: you get pulled over, right, That's more of my education. Yes,

1086
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 1: protecting them being black men in America. How soon it's

1087
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 1: too soon to have that conversation with your with your

1088
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 1: young black young black boys, like when do your young

1089
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 1: black boys go from being cute to being scary to

1090
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:38,439
Speaker 1: white America to It was funny a friend of mine

1091
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 1: calling me yesterday and had that same conversation. It was like,

1092
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 1: well when when when have you told your kids? And

1093
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 1: I've said, uh, I think Logan was around thirteen when

1094
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 1: we had that first conversation, and I think it was

1095
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 1: around the same time one of his white friends called

1096
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 1: him and um, but my six year old. I think

1097
00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 1: he's still a little innocent. He doesn't have to necessarily.

1098
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to put that stress on them right now.

1099
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:04,439
Speaker 1: When when it gets a little old, I think maybe

1100
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:06,720
Speaker 1: ten to eleven. But I don't hide it from him.

1101
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 1: I don't hide the news from them. They watch the news.

1102
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 1: They know about coronavirus, they know about COVID nineteen, they

1103
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 1: know about George Floyd, so they do know what's going on.

1104
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 1: But I haven't had that. There's a certain conversation yet,

1105
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 1: It's just a rough conversation to have with kids, to

1106
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 1: tell your kids that you will probably be treated differently

1107
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 1: because of the color of your skin, Like you don't

1108
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 1: know when to plant that seat, you know, you know, Yeah,

1109
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 1: conversation all right. Lauren Lennon also talked to our Red

1110
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 1: Table talk about advice that she can give to other

1111
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 1: people who are coping with the loss of a loved one.

1112
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 1: Here's what she said. For me, what's really been important.

1113
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 1: It's like connecting with God, and that's been a struggle

1114
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 1: because something horrible happens in your eyes and you're like,

1115
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: how God? And knowing that there is life after this life.

1116
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 1: It's not easy. I don't always wake up on the

1117
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:59,479
Speaker 1: enlightened side of the bed, you know, in the days

1118
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 1: that I don't, I let myself because I'm human and

1119
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 1: find things that matter, and so I'll try to live

1120
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 1: with the purpose. Lord, have Mercymn prayers up for Lauren London.

1121
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:13,480
Speaker 1: Always always sending Lauren London positive energy, love and light.

1122
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 1: Man r Ip Nipsey Nipsey Hustle. Absolutely, yes, a lot

1123
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 1: of people are like man. We would love to hear

1124
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 1: Nipsey's voice right now in particular right now all right,

1125
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 1: So Calice has went on her Instagram page and she

1126
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 1: also feels like the music industry, instead of just doing

1127
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 1: a blackout Tuesday, should also help out black musicians. She said,

1128
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 1: if the music industry wants to support black lives, labels

1129
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:41,800
Speaker 1: and platforms can start with the mending contracts, distributing royalties,

1130
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 1: diversifying boardrooms, and retroactively paying back all of the black

1131
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 1: artists and their families they have built their empires on

1132
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 1: Erica bad doing a Zelia Banks also shared that message

1133
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 1: as well, not a bad message, right, yeah, I agree

1134
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 1: with that. She's right, it's it's it's not that it's

1135
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 1: that the record label contracts have never been fair for

1136
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 1: any artists. Correct know what I'm saying, period, But it's

1137
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:06,920
Speaker 1: you know, black artists have made these labels so much money,

1138
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 1: so it's just like it's bad business. Rightly of the

1139
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 1: record sold like a small percent, maybe a couple of

1140
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 1: pennies for what they sell, which is ridiculous. Like artists happened.

1141
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 1: I was on the road. That's why right now, artists,

1142
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 1: a lot of artists are effed up. Don't get it

1143
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 1: twisted don't get the show in cash and money and

1144
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 1: all that on Instagram. Artists make their money majority of

1145
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 1: them by doing shows and being on the road. The

1146
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 1: fact that they can't be on the road and all

1147
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 1: the streams that they're seeing, they're not getting a majority

1148
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 1: of that money at all. And it's not right. Yeah,

1149
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 1: always want to labels artists. I had a conversation with

1150
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 1: an executive and what he was telling me was that

1151
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 1: a lot of times when they do sign an artist,

1152
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 1: and you know, it's a risk because most of the artists,

1153
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 1: it's very small percentative artists that actually become stars. But

1154
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 1: when that does happen, they do go back and renegotiate

1155
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: a contract because they do want it to be more

1156
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 1: fair to the artists, so that the original contract that

1157
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:01,680
Speaker 1: they sign, you know, they want to make sure that

1158
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 1: they do more for them. And this executive also told

1159
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 1: me that when they do it three sixty deals, a

1160
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:09,440
Speaker 1: lot of times they don't really cash in on like

1161
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 1: the merchandise and the touring and all of that. I wonder.

1162
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's completely fair, but I'm saying that's

1163
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, That's why I said, I don't know if

1164
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 1: if if record labels, old artists, the old artists. Old

1165
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:24,920
Speaker 1: is a strong word because you signed the contract and

1166
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 1: it is a business. At the end of the day,

1167
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 1: it's just it's just bad business, and bad business are

1168
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 1: just a record business. I don't know both both both both.

1169
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it is bad business, but I

1170
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 1: do think it's a record business. But I think it

1171
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 1: needs to change. And I'm hoping when we have people

1172
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 1: in power like your jay Z's that owned Rock Nation,

1173
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 1: that signs so all these artists, that's helping these artists

1174
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 1: out or helping them to sign better deals, which they are,

1175
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 1: and that's what you need to protect themselves too. Let's

1176
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 1: be clear, they never artists to get got that got

1177
01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 1: got to to to change the situation, because there are

1178
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 1: some artists who get a big chunk of money and

1179
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 1: then they don't put duce and then the label has

1180
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 1: to eat that also, all right, But so it always

1181
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:05,440
Speaker 1: will be a few artists that will keep a label afloat,

1182
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 1: and then hundreds more of that end up being right off.

1183
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 1: I guess all right, well, I mans you the yeah,

1184
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 1: and that is your room of report, all right, thank you,

01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:03,680
Speaker 1: the man and as is very very heavy on this sandwich. Okay.

1199
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 1: I've been having a lot of conversations with my white

1200
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 1: friends this week. They all want to know what to say,

1201
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:11,120
Speaker 1: how to say it in regards to not only the

1202
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: Deafer George Floyd, but about their place on this planet

1203
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:17,560
Speaker 1: in general, you know, the whole white, privileged, white supremacist conversation.

1204
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 1: And see, sadly, there's not a white person in America

1205
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 1: who can say that at some point someone in their

1206
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 1: family tree, someone and someone in their bloodline, their ancestors,

1207
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 1: were part of the problem. Okay, the problem being white supremacy.

1208
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:32,800
Speaker 1: It is what it is. People, nothing to be ashamed of,

1209
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:35,800
Speaker 1: nothing to be embarrassed about, no matter how history books

1210
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 1: attempt to sanitize it, no matter how sweet they try

1211
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 1: to make it sound. All America was not built on

1212
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:43,920
Speaker 1: Christian values. Okay, like they try to sell it, all right,

1213
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 1: please stop. Okay, America was built on the back of

1214
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 1: slavery and racism. That's it, point blank period, pooh, all right.

1215
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 1: Slavery was America's first big business. This country was founded

1216
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 1: by old white men who were not attempted to make

1217
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 1: this country all inclusive for everyone, especially black people. Okay,

1218
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 1: we were property, like actual literal property. That's why we

1219
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:04,440
Speaker 1: got to constantly tell people black lives matter, because in

1220
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:07,080
Speaker 1: the Constitution it says black people were three fifths of

1221
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 1: a person, the three fists rule. That's why we were

1222
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 1: treated it's property. Okay, So that's why we got to

1223
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,000
Speaker 1: constantly remind you, no, I am actually a life, not

1224
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:18,240
Speaker 1: a piece of property. And to this day some still

1225
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 1: look at us as as property. Okay, so yes, my

1226
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 1: white allies, that's the harsh truth. If you are ready

1227
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 1: and willing to start from that place, then we can

1228
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 1: figure out how to dismantle this mechanism called white supremacy. Now,

1229
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 1: in regards to speaking out, you shouldn't have to ask

1230
01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 1: me how to speak out for another human in regard

1231
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,400
Speaker 1: to their pain. Okay, if you are a spiritually conscious

1232
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 1: person in any way, if you are just a human

1233
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:43,080
Speaker 1: being with empathy, when you saw that video at George Floyd,

1234
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:45,880
Speaker 1: you should have felt the way and whatever you felt,

1235
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 1: express it. Okay. You don't need a black person's permission

1236
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 1: for that. Okay, this is a matter, this is a

1237
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:53,560
Speaker 1: matter of race, but it's also just a matter of

1238
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 1: being human. So if you want to do, if you

1239
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 1: want to know what to do, it's simple, just stand

1240
01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:02,200
Speaker 1: up for other humans. Sadly, some people just don't get it.

1241
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm not even mad at them for not getting it,

1242
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:06,480
Speaker 1: because we all live in on individual bubbles, and when

1243
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:09,080
Speaker 1: you are a white male, you definitely live in a

1244
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:12,920
Speaker 1: bubble because this system, for the most part, works perfectly

1245
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 1: for you. Okay, this white supremacist system. Whether you are

1246
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 1: prejudice bigoted, racist or not. Works great for most white

1247
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 1: males because it was designed by white males, so it

1248
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 1: was always going to be built in advantages, which is

1249
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:26,640
Speaker 1: why when someone like Drew Brees doesn't get it, it

1250
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me at all. See. Drew Brees was giving

1251
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 1: an interview with Yahoo Finance. During the interview, he was

1252
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 1: asked his thoughts on the subject of players potentially kneeling

1253
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:39,200
Speaker 1: during the national anthem for the twenty twenty season. Let's

1254
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 1: hear it. I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the

1255
01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 1: flag of the United States of America. Let me just

1256
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:48,640
Speaker 1: tell you what I feel when the national anthem is played,

1257
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 1: and when I look at the flag of the United States,

1258
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:55,480
Speaker 1: I envision my two grandfathers who fought for this country

1259
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:58,040
Speaker 1: during World War Two, and in many cases, it brings

1260
01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:01,320
Speaker 1: me to tears thinking about all that has been sacrificed,

1261
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:04,439
Speaker 1: not just those in the military, but for that matter,

1262
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 1: those throughout the civil rights movements of the sixties and

1263
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:10,840
Speaker 1: everyone and all that has been endured by so many

1264
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 1: people up until this point. And is everything right with

1265
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 1: our country right now? No? But I think what you

1266
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:19,320
Speaker 1: do by standing there and showing respect to the flag

1267
01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:21,839
Speaker 1: with your hand over your heart. Is it shows unity.

1268
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:24,320
Speaker 1: We can all do better and then we are all

1269
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 1: part of the solution. Flag on the play. A violation

1270
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:31,040
Speaker 1: is the current illegal use of white privilege. Drew Brees

1271
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 1: is marginalizing what black people are experiencing in this country

1272
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 1: because he's seeing the world through the lens of the oppressor,

1273
01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 1: not the oppressed. I am happy that when Drew Brees

1274
01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:42,880
Speaker 1: sees the flag of the United States of America and

1275
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 1: his grandfathers who fought for this country in World War Two,

1276
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:48,240
Speaker 1: I'm glad he shed a couple of tiers. That's beautiful.

1277
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:50,800
Speaker 1: But Drew Brees, black people fought in World War Two.

1278
01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 1: But imagine fighting for a country that at that point

1279
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 1: didn't even give you the same civil liberties that it

1280
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 1: gave your grandparents. Drew Brees, do you know when the

1281
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:01,519
Speaker 1: US into World War Two, Jim Crow's segregation had it

1282
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:04,560
Speaker 1: entered every single aspect of American society. Do you know

1283
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 1: that there were several segregated units in the military during

1284
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 1: World War Two? So even though we're all supposed to

1285
01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 1: have a common enemy in a war, this country still

1286
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:16,559
Speaker 1: had us divided, Okay, still looked at us as an enemy.

1287
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 1: This is why so many black folks have a problem

1288
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 1: with patriotism. How can we salute a country that historically

1289
01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:26,720
Speaker 1: enslaved us, marginalized us, it continues to brutalize us. See,

1290
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:29,120
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is a white privileged male. That's how he

1291
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:33,280
Speaker 1: sees America. Okay, it's all roses. He's living in his

1292
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 1: life like it's golden. Okay, This white supremacist system works

1293
01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:38,560
Speaker 1: well for him because it's supposed to. I am not

1294
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:42,120
Speaker 1: arguing with any white person about why people choose to

1295
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:45,639
Speaker 1: take a knee in regards to police brutality. There's nothing

1296
01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:48,160
Speaker 1: to debate, Okay. If you don't get it by now,

1297
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 1: you don't want to get it. And if you're committed

1298
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 1: to misunderstanding the situation, whatever. Now I had a convo.

1299
01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 1: I did have a convo with my good brother Michael

1300
01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:58,120
Speaker 1: Eric Dison this weekend drop on a clues bombs from

1301
01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:02,160
Speaker 1: Michael Eric Dison music, explaining to me why you do

1302
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:05,600
Speaker 1: have to teach white people because whether you know it

1303
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:09,080
Speaker 1: or not, you are unintentionally teaching them, so you might

1304
01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:13,519
Speaker 1: as well be intentional about teaching them. So I keep

1305
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:16,719
Speaker 1: that in mind at times like this, and I defer

1306
01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 1: to one of our greatest teachers killing Mike. He was

1307
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 1: on with Jaalen and Jacobe and he had some lessons

1308
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:25,479
Speaker 1: for Drew Brees. Let's hear it. I would like to

1309
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:29,880
Speaker 1: know what he considered disrespect because and when I travel

1310
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:32,679
Speaker 1: and we perform in Germany, I never see a Nazi

1311
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:35,960
Speaker 1: flag because Nazis are a part of history that Germany

1312
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 1: understands was a cancer and corrupt and they've grinted themselves up.

1313
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:42,400
Speaker 1: Drew Blees plays in the Deep South. As we traveled

1314
01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:45,759
Speaker 1: through the South, we see the Confederate flag everywhere the bounds.

1315
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:49,200
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna tell me about flagging disrespecting the

1316
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:51,719
Speaker 1: American flag, the fact that you live in a region

1317
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:53,839
Speaker 1: that they still find a rebel flag in a Confederate

1318
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 1: flag and you don't adambly speak against that on a

1319
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 1: regular basis just tells me that you're protecting the lay

1320
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:02,240
Speaker 1: of life or what you think is right. The American

1321
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:05,040
Speaker 1: flag stands for the First Amendment and the ability to

1322
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:08,360
Speaker 1: say what you feel about situation. Now you bear the

1323
01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:10,320
Speaker 1: brunt of that. You may get black ball out in

1324
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:12,920
Speaker 1: the NFL, but you have the right too. So if

1325
01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:14,960
Speaker 1: you support and you don't want to see the American

1326
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:18,839
Speaker 1: flag disrespected. Don't look at it on buttweiser shorts at picnics,

1327
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:21,799
Speaker 1: don't look at it edit a bikini shots and Playboy.

1328
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:25,120
Speaker 1: Don't look at it on your favorite album covers because

1329
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:27,760
Speaker 1: you think that rock band is rocking for you, be

1330
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:30,320
Speaker 1: all the way with it. You're an intelligent football player.

1331
01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:32,680
Speaker 1: But that was an incredibly stupid thing to stay. But

1332
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be so burdened with the religion

1333
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:37,759
Speaker 1: that has become American news and nationalism that I forget

1334
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:40,640
Speaker 1: that the flag represents the United States Constitution, and the

1335
01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:43,719
Speaker 1: United States Constitution was written by a bunch of people

1336
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:47,679
Speaker 1: who chose to protest violently in order to have a friend.

1337
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:51,600
Speaker 1: So what you interpreted disrespect probably is the most patriotic

1338
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:54,880
Speaker 1: thing happening today. Just something to think about, something to

1339
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:58,439
Speaker 1: think about. Drew Brees. If I had a lesson for

1340
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:01,200
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, because I'm nowhere and his eloquent is killer Mike.

1341
01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 1: But if I had a lesson for Drew Brees, it

1342
01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:06,080
Speaker 1: would be a simple homework assignment. And it's this. If

1343
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:09,320
Speaker 1: you don't understand why players kneil, if you don't understand

1344
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:12,360
Speaker 1: why players take a knee, then go watch the video

1345
01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:16,320
Speaker 1: of that White Devil cop kneeling taking a knee on

1346
01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:19,759
Speaker 1: George Floyd's neck for eight minutes and forty six seconds.

1347
01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:22,080
Speaker 1: If you don't get it after that, well we might

1348
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:24,360
Speaker 1: just need you to shut the f up forever on

1349
01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 1: all issues regarding race in this country and sit the

1350
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:31,559
Speaker 1: rest of this season called life out. Please let Chelsea

Speaker 1: Handler give Drew Brees the biggest he huh hee haw

1354
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 1: I'm yeah. I'm sure that he'll have an enlightening moment

01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 1: and say that you know, he was taught so much

1356
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:50,080

Speaker 1: Us he kneeled before, Yeah he did. I don't know

1358
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 1: if he was just doing that to be a good

1359
01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:57,040
Speaker 1: teammate or he actually knew what was going on. Who knows?

1360

1447
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:23,400

1448
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:26,599
Speaker 1: terrible advice. It sounds like you're very unhappy. You already

1449
01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:28,120
Speaker 1: know what you want to do. You want to leave

1450
01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:31,000
Speaker 1: this marriage. Your wife is still lying. I can't believe

1451
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 1: that you had the willpower to not go in the

1452
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:34,960
Speaker 1: house after you saw him go in there, because I

1453
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:39,080
Speaker 1: definitely would have been right back inside. But kudos to you,

1454
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:41,040
Speaker 1: Like you said, you had a sign from God after

1455
01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 1: what happened with your friend who's in jail right now.

1456
01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:45,799

Speaker 1: your kid is the most important thing to you in

1466
01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:32,080
Speaker 1: your life right now, so you need to make sure

1467
01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:34,680
Speaker 1: that you handle them. I think you need to be

1468
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:38,040
Speaker 1: the one to initiate everything so that no matter what happens,

1469
01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:40,120
Speaker 1: like she can't call the cops on you, you need

1470
01:18:40,160 --> 01:18:42,439
Speaker 1: to go ahead and file for divorce so that it'll

1471
01:18:42,439 --> 01:18:45,200
Speaker 1: be more favorable, and you're for the position that you're

1472
01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:48,760
Speaker 1: in right now. And whatever you do, don't text or

1473
01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:51,160
Speaker 1: email or write anything or make any cause that are

1474
01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:53,120
Speaker 1: threatening in any way, so that you can make sure

1475
01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:56,080
Speaker 1: that everything is straight and smooth with your custody of

1476
01:18:56,200 --> 01:18:58,720
Speaker 1: your child and all of that, and get your own

1477
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:01,080
Speaker 1: place or she has to get her own place, whatever

1478
01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:03,120
Speaker 1: y'all decide, But you do have to start making those

1479
01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:05,120
Speaker 1: steps to get out of there and make sure that

1480
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:07,720
Speaker 1: your son knows this has nothing to do with him,

1481
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:10,439
Speaker 1: that you love him very much. And you're right when

Speaker 1: mistake the other day, we were met with guns and

1499
01:20:10,840 --> 01:20:15,800
Speaker 1: all that. So my girlfriend's grandmother decided to give us

1514
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:05,760
Speaker 1: and she's with me in every march, Like you know

1515
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:09,400
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. She's screaming black power, she's swimming no justice,

1516
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:14,400
Speaker 1: no peace, she does videos and she's just her grandmother's

1517
01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:16,760
Speaker 1: matter her because she's like, oh, you can lose your job,

1518
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:19,599
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah. She's just like, well,

1519
01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:22,160
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you're right, I can. But it's like,

1520
01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:25,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do what's right. Right. Well, Listen, whenever people

1521
01:21:25,479 --> 01:21:27,599
Speaker 1: are trying to have a revolution, there's always people who

1522
01:21:27,640 --> 01:21:30,320
Speaker 1: aren't on board, right, who aren't gonna be agreeing with

1523
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:32,120
Speaker 1: the ways that you do things. And sometimes those people

1524
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:35,479
Speaker 1: are in your own family. And from my own experience

1525
01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:37,680
Speaker 1: of having to deal with grandparents who were not like

1526
01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:40,320
Speaker 1: that at all, you know, sometimes, first of all, I

1527
01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:43,080
Speaker 1: would say, this is more of your girlfriend's situation because

1528
01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:45,360
Speaker 1: it is her grandmother. So I don't want you and

1529
01:21:45,479 --> 01:21:48,519
Speaker 1: your girlfriend to have issues because of that. And so

1530
01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:50,400
Speaker 1: it feels like this might be something that she'll have

1531
01:21:50,479 --> 01:21:52,160
Speaker 1: to deal with and you have to follow her lead

1532
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:55,280
Speaker 1: on that because it's her family. Yeah, because she's like

1533
01:21:55,800 --> 01:22:00,240
Speaker 1: a real, like family person. That's why I like, I

1534
01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:02,800
Speaker 1: wanted to, you know what I mean, educate her the more.

1535
01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:06,920
Speaker 1: But I'm like, no, I don't have no trouble with me,

1536
01:22:07,120 --> 01:22:09,479
Speaker 1: my girl. We haven't had trouble in a long time,

1537
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:12,640
Speaker 1: and I don't want to start right. I think you

1538
01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:15,200
Speaker 1: and your girlfriend should have a conversation about how you

1539
01:22:15,320 --> 01:22:19,040
Speaker 1: guys collectively want to handle it and if and I

1540
01:22:19,120 --> 01:22:20,840
Speaker 1: think you should follow her lead on that. Now, if

1541
01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:23,360
Speaker 1: this was your family, then I would say, you know,

1542
01:22:23,479 --> 01:22:24,920
Speaker 1: that's up to you how you want to handle it.

1543
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:26,600
Speaker 1: You know your family, and I know it can be

1544
01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:29,599
Speaker 1: really frustrating to have these conversations with people who are

1545
01:22:29,640 --> 01:22:32,720
Speaker 1: set in their ways and aren't trying to hear what

1546
01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:35,479
Speaker 1: you have to say. So you know, sometimes it is

1547
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:37,720
Speaker 1: a losing battle to have those arguments, and you still

1548
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:39,360
Speaker 1: have to keep going out there and doing the work.

1549
01:22:39,439 --> 01:22:41,280
Speaker 1: But I don't want you and your girlfriend, who are

1550
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 1: in accord right now, to have issues. So I would

1551
01:22:44,320 --> 01:22:46,360
Speaker 1: let my girlfriend take the lead on this. Tell her, look,

1552
01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:48,800
Speaker 1: this is your family, your grandmother. However you want to

1553
01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:51,240
Speaker 1: handle it, I want to respect that, and I'm always

1554
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:54,839
Speaker 1: down to have respectful conversations, but that is your grandmother,

1555
01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:58,080
Speaker 1: so it's kind of more on her. I just still

1556
01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:02,799
Speaker 1: like when I go around now, it's gonna be like different,

1557
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:05,840
Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm saying, because when I first

1558
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:09,400
Speaker 1: when I first met them, I don't talk as they

1559
01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:15,200
Speaker 1: would say, you know, black quote unquote. I talk intelligence

1560
01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:18,160
Speaker 1: and I And when I first met they told me like,

1561
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:24,760
Speaker 1: oh people say that, yeah exactly. So I know when

1562
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:27,320
Speaker 1: I go to her house for the next family is

1563
01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:30,200
Speaker 1: and or whatever, it's gonna be like really awkward. And

1564
01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:34,560
Speaker 1: so I'm just I just feel like we need to

1565
01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:36,880
Speaker 1: have a conversation. But at the same time, like I said,

1566
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:42,599
Speaker 1: it's my girlfriend's family, so I'm just back the bullet

1567
01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:45,559
Speaker 1: and see what she's gonna be like that she should

1568
01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:48,360
Speaker 1: have a conversation with them without you there also, you know,

1569
01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:52,200
Speaker 1: and try to have that conversation on her end. But

1570
01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:54,360
Speaker 1: like I said, you know, if that means, I'm going

1571
01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:56,320
Speaker 1: to support my girlfriend, but I'm not really trying to

1572
01:23:56,400 --> 01:24:00,400
Speaker 1: engage in too much conversation. Yeah, you know, it's sometimes

1573
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:02,719
Speaker 1: it's really hard to try to force people to understand

1574
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:07,439
Speaker 1: things that they don't want to understand. Yeah, that's true,

1575
01:24:07,720 --> 01:24:09,720
Speaker 1: but we appreciate you, and you keep on doing what

1576
01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:11,800
Speaker 1: you have to do and you and your girlfriend and

1577
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:14,320
Speaker 1: don't let things like this cause a wedge in your relationship.

1578
01:24:14,600 --> 01:24:16,240
Speaker 1: I even felt like, if I need to just kind

1579
01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:18,519
Speaker 1: of fall back and stay away from them, I will,

1580
01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:21,920
Speaker 1: you know, but you can't ever force people to understand something.

1581
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:24,640
Speaker 1: All you can do is engage in the conversation, and

1582
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:26,840
Speaker 1: it can be too frustrating for you two at times.

1583
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:31,640
Speaker 1: You've made the attempts. Well, I definitely appreciate that you

1584
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:35,360
Speaker 1: just made it made it clear for me that I'm

1585

Speaker 1: doing the right thing when it comes to this right now, Yeah,

Speaker 1: was talking about the protesters in Miami. Now, she was

Speaker 1: my life of the registration and assurance. I'm not scared, Okay, Trina.

1625
01:26:38,240 --> 01:26:40,400
Speaker 1: I don't agree with nothing you're saying, but I like

1626
01:26:40,520 --> 01:26:43,560
Speaker 1: the energy you just say that like that, like you

1627
01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:47,519

Speaker 1: But I got time today, damnage? All right, all right?

1630
01:26:54,400 --> 01:26:56,320
Speaker 1: And then she had it back and forth after that

1631
01:26:56,479 --> 01:26:59,719
Speaker 1: on social media with Messica. You know Mesica from loving

1632
01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:03,400
Speaker 1: her pop and you know, Messica was saying that she

1633
01:27:03,560 --> 01:27:05,679
Speaker 1: needed to come to the front of the congregation basically,

1634
01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:08,559
Speaker 1: and she asked Kaye to come and drag this coon

1635
01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:11,120
Speaker 1: Trina back to the swamp before I get her, and

1636
01:27:11,200 --> 01:27:13,040
Speaker 1: then the two of them had a really nasty back

1637
01:27:13,080 --> 01:27:16,559
Speaker 1: and forth on social media. Trina told Messica first of all,

1638
01:27:16,960 --> 01:27:20,120
Speaker 1: bumass find out who your baby daddy really is, and

1639
01:27:20,280 --> 01:27:21,760
Speaker 1: she told her, and you don't know what the f

1640
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:23,439

1642
01:27:26,320 --> 01:27:29,479
Speaker 1: how I'm ready and I'm not the one. And then

1643
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:31,400
Speaker 1: Trina told her, but first of all, that video was

1644
01:27:31,520 --> 01:27:33,600
Speaker 1: edited to what I said. Second of all, if you

1645
01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:36,679
Speaker 1: don't know the exact facts, stfu. If you want answers

1646
01:27:36,680 --> 01:27:38,680

Speaker 1: come up here and talk ish about me, because you can't.

1648
01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:44,280
Speaker 1: And things really spiraled after that. Messica told her, pull

01:28:24,680 --> 01:28:27,160
Speaker 1: going at it like that on social media, with the

1663
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:29,920
Speaker 1: world weighing in and speaking to each other in that way. Now,

1664
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:32,680
Speaker 1: this morning, Traina did get on the radio and apologize.

1665
01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:35,599
Speaker 1: Here's what she said. Me and my trainers were, I'm

1666
01:28:35,600 --> 01:28:38,200
Speaker 1: automatically speaking for black people. I am the black people.

1667
01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:40,640
Speaker 1: I am black people. That's why I'm speaking for and

1668
01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:44,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say black people are animals. And this

1669
01:28:44,240 --> 01:28:47,200
Speaker 1: is why the day after where we spoke to the commissioner,

1670
01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:49,559
Speaker 1: I said to Trick, well, I learned a lot more

1671
01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:52,800
Speaker 1: about what's really happening. And it's more than just in

1672
01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:57,680
Speaker 1: the streets of people, you know, doing whatever. It's it's commissioners,

1673
01:28:57,720 --> 01:28:59,920
Speaker 1: it's the governor's to me, it's all these people, it's

1674
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:01,800
Speaker 1: the chief of police. I had no idea of that,

1675
01:29:01,960 --> 01:29:04,120
Speaker 1: So now I'm understanding that, and these are the people

1676
01:29:04,160 --> 01:29:06,760
Speaker 1: that has to protect the CDs. No, I don't like

1677
01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:10,200
Speaker 1: that energy training. I want I need that hand clapp

1678
01:29:10,240 --> 01:29:12,800
Speaker 1: and I got time to day energy. I don't like

1679
01:29:12,960 --> 01:29:15,960
Speaker 1: that little docile apology energy. I don't like that. Well,

1680
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:19,280
Speaker 1: she's explaining herself. She's explaining herself with what she met.

1681
01:29:19,400 --> 01:29:21,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes when we get upset and we get mad, things

1682
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:23,920
Speaker 1: come out of our mouth that we could have said differently,

1683
01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:27,280
Speaker 1: and maybe that's what she's clearing up. Well, listen, apologies

1684
01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:30,120
Speaker 1: are always great when you know you're wrong. There's nothing

1685
01:29:30,160 --> 01:29:33,480
Speaker 1: wrong with acknowledging that wrong, but it's just backlash apologies.

1686
01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:36,760
Speaker 1: I don't like backlash apologies. I don't like apologies that

1687
01:29:36,840 --> 01:29:39,040
Speaker 1: when you know people have been coming at you, you're like, okay,

1688
01:29:39,080 --> 01:29:42,560
Speaker 1: I'm sorry now. Well, she did say she had conversations

1689
01:29:42,800 --> 01:29:46,439
Speaker 1: with local officials and they did educate her on some things.

1690
01:29:46,640 --> 01:29:49,519
Speaker 1: So you know, it is a big to be able

1691
01:29:49,560 --> 01:29:51,800
Speaker 1: to apologize and admit that you were wrong and have

1692
01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:54,639
Speaker 1: these conversations with people, you know. I still don't really

1693
01:29:54,720 --> 01:29:57,280
Speaker 1: like the dragging of people like that on social media,

1694
01:29:57,600 --> 01:30:01,200
Speaker 1: and I am all for educating. I love training it though.

1695
01:30:01,240 --> 01:30:03,600
Speaker 1: I just don't know what she thought was wrong in

1696
01:30:03,680 --> 01:30:05,560
Speaker 1: that situation, you know what I'm saying, Like, you have

1697
01:30:05,720 --> 01:30:08,400
Speaker 1: to know why people are protesting, you know, you have

1698
01:30:08,479 --> 01:30:10,560
Speaker 1: to know why they're angry, even when it comes to

1699
01:30:10,640 --> 01:30:13,240
Speaker 1: the looting. You may not like it, but you know,

1700
01:30:13,280 --> 01:30:14,880
Speaker 1: you don't got to call them animals. It's not like

1701
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:16,760
Speaker 1: they just out there doing that for no reason. It's

1702
01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:19,640
Speaker 1: a reaction to, you know, black people getting killed in

1703
01:30:19,720 --> 01:30:22,040
Speaker 1: this country at the hands of the police over it. Yeah,

1704
01:30:22,040 --> 01:30:23,639
Speaker 1: but she's seen it from a different side, I'm sure,

1705
01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:25,479
Speaker 1: and that doesn't make it right. She's seen it from

1706
01:30:25,479 --> 01:30:28,599
Speaker 1: the side one of her best friends owns a clothing

1707
01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:30,840
Speaker 1: store or a store, and you know, everything that she

1708
01:30:30,960 --> 01:30:33,000
Speaker 1: worked for they pretty much took. So that's what she

1709
01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:36,840
Speaker 1: was saying. I think material Yeah, I get it, but

1710
01:30:36,920 --> 01:30:40,639
Speaker 1: it's material things and property that can't take place. Insurance

1711
01:30:41,080 --> 01:30:42,960
Speaker 1: you can't you know, fix it. And there's a lot

1712
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:45,439
Speaker 1: of things that led up to this. So uh, And

1713
01:30:45,560 --> 01:30:47,479
Speaker 1: this is an ongoing conversation because there's a lot of

1714
01:30:47,479 --> 01:30:48,920
Speaker 1: people who have felt like that, and I see a

1715
01:30:48,960 --> 01:30:51,200
Speaker 1: lot of people expressing themselves in that way and wondering

1716
01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:53,280
Speaker 1: why are people are protesting, why are they doing this,

1717
01:30:53,479 --> 01:30:55,920
Speaker 1: why are they going after target I see people saying

1718
01:30:56,000 --> 01:30:58,760
Speaker 1: this all day long, up and down the timeline. So

1719
01:30:59,520 --> 01:31:04,200
Speaker 1: I build those buildings will be back, those black bodies won't,

1720
01:31:05,439 --> 01:31:08,200
Speaker 1: all right, And now another person who actually had to

1721
01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:12,080
Speaker 1: roll back what he said was Drew Brees. He made

1722
01:31:12,120 --> 01:31:15,280
Speaker 1: some comments about NFL player protests, and he was asked

1723
01:31:15,320 --> 01:31:17,799
Speaker 1: about whether or not he thinks players will be kneeling

1724
01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:20,920
Speaker 1: during the national anthem when football resumes. And here's what

1725
01:31:21,080 --> 01:31:25,000
Speaker 1: Drew Brees said. I will never agree with anybody disrespecting

1726
01:31:25,040 --> 01:31:27,280
Speaker 1: the flag of the United States of America. Let me,

1727
01:31:27,400 --> 01:31:29,840
Speaker 1: let me just tell you what I feel when the

1728
01:31:29,960 --> 01:31:32,080
Speaker 1: national anthem is played, and when I look at the

1729
01:31:32,439 --> 01:31:36,480
Speaker 1: flag of the United States, I envision my two grandfathers

1730
01:31:36,800 --> 01:31:39,200
Speaker 1: who fought for this country during World War Two? And

1731
01:31:39,400 --> 01:31:42,439
Speaker 1: is everything right with our country right now? No, we

1732
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:44,360
Speaker 1: still have a long way to go. But I think

1733
01:31:44,439 --> 01:31:46,680
Speaker 1: what you do by standing there and showing respect to

1734
01:31:46,720 --> 01:31:48,920
Speaker 1: the flag with your hand over your heart, is it

1735
01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:52,080
Speaker 1: shows unity. It shows that we are all in this together,

1736
01:31:52,360 --> 01:31:54,439
Speaker 1: we can all do better, and then we are all

1737
01:31:54,560 --> 01:31:58,200
Speaker 1: part of the solution. Well, of course, those comments cause

1738
01:31:58,640 --> 01:32:01,880
Speaker 1: a huge amount of backlash from other NFL players, players

1739
01:32:01,880 --> 01:32:05,360
Speaker 1: on his own team, from everybody, Lebron James, you know,

1740
01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:08,639
Speaker 1: Stephen Jackson. Now Drew Brees has posted. First, he posted

1741
01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:12,960
Speaker 1: a picture of a black and white hand interlocked, and

1742
01:32:13,280 --> 01:32:16,799
Speaker 1: then he said, I would like to apologize to my friends, teammates,

1743
01:32:16,880 --> 01:32:19,519
Speaker 1: the city of New Orleans, the black community, NFL community,

1744
01:32:19,560 --> 01:32:22,200
Speaker 1: and anyone I hurt with my comments yesterday, And speaking

1745
01:32:22,240 --> 01:32:23,840
Speaker 1: with some of you, it breaks my heart to know

1746
01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:26,360
Speaker 1: the pain I have caused. So he said he wants

1747
01:32:26,400 --> 01:32:29,360
Speaker 1: to talk about respect, unity and the solidarity centered around

1748
01:32:29,400 --> 01:32:31,599
Speaker 1: the American flag and the national anthem. And he made

1749
01:32:31,640 --> 01:32:34,880
Speaker 1: comments that were insensitive and completely missed the mark on

1750
01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:37,160
Speaker 1: the issues we are facing right now as a country.

1751
01:32:37,560 --> 01:32:40,719
Speaker 1: They lacked awareness and any type of compassion or empathy. Instead,

1752
01:32:40,800 --> 01:32:43,400
Speaker 1: those words had become divisive and hurtful, and I had

1753
01:32:43,479 --> 01:32:46,760
Speaker 1: misled people into believing that somehow I am an enemy.

1754
01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:48,640
Speaker 1: This could not be further from the truth and is

1755
01:32:48,680 --> 01:32:51,040
Speaker 1: not an accurate reflection of my heart or my character.

1756
01:32:51,479 --> 01:32:53,560
Speaker 1: And then he talks about where he stands with the

1757
01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:56,519
Speaker 1: black community and the fight against systemic racial injustice and

1758
01:32:56,560 --> 01:32:59,320
Speaker 1: police brutality, and he said support the creation of real

1759
01:32:59,400 --> 01:33:02,599
Speaker 1: policy change that will make a difference. He also condemned

1760
01:33:02,640 --> 01:33:05,000
Speaker 1: the years of oppression. I mean it goes on. So

1761
01:33:06,200 --> 01:33:09,240
Speaker 1: you know I gave donkey. I gave him donkey to

1762
01:33:09,360 --> 01:33:11,120
Speaker 1: day to day, and Donkey that day still stands. I

1763
01:33:11,240 --> 01:33:15,639
Speaker 1: wonder if he's ever spoken out against a police officer

1764
01:33:16,320 --> 01:33:18,240
Speaker 1: killing a black man. You know, you know how that's

1765
01:33:18,280 --> 01:33:20,800
Speaker 1: so quick to be like, you shouldn't disrespect the flag,

1766
01:33:20,960 --> 01:33:23,320
Speaker 1: and you know the flag means something. I wonder if

1767
01:33:23,360 --> 01:33:26,640
Speaker 1: he's ever had that same energy for you know, a

1768
01:33:26,760 --> 01:33:29,120
Speaker 1: police officer killing an unarmed black man, as he ever

1769
01:33:29,200 --> 01:33:31,120
Speaker 1: jumped out there and said, you shouldn't kill anar black people,

1770
01:33:31,200 --> 01:33:32,760
Speaker 1: you shouldn't kill black people, you know what I mean.

1771
01:33:33,040 --> 01:33:35,760
Speaker 1: I wonder, But you know he's he's he's knelt with

1772
01:33:35,840 --> 01:33:38,560
Speaker 1: his teammates before and just reading his comments, you see that.

1773
01:33:38,720 --> 01:33:41,320
Speaker 1: You know some of the people that that follow him. Uh,

1774
01:33:41,439 --> 01:33:43,360
Speaker 1: you know, you don't have to apologize, you were right.

1775
01:33:43,800 --> 01:33:46,320
Speaker 1: Don't apologize now that was just your opinion. You know,

1776
01:33:46,360 --> 01:33:48,320
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that believe in what he said,

1777
01:33:48,360 --> 01:33:52,000
Speaker 1: which which I don't understand. I really don't. And and

1778
01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:54,960
Speaker 1: by the way, putting the black hand shaking the white hand,

1779
01:33:55,280 --> 01:33:58,120
Speaker 1: that's the whitest apology in the world. Like I would

1780
01:33:58,200 --> 01:34:02,439
Speaker 1: rather you put cream vanila ice cream and chocolate ice cream. Yeah,

1781
01:34:06,720 --> 01:34:08,719
Speaker 1: I would rather you put vanilla ice cream and chocolate

1782
01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:11,280
Speaker 1: ice cream. Oh my goodness, Like that had that handshake

1783
01:34:11,360 --> 01:34:15,720
Speaker 1: look crazy. All right, well, we'll see you what happens next.

1784
01:34:15,800 --> 01:34:19,439
Speaker 1: And that was very well crafted as like more of

1785
01:34:19,479 --> 01:34:23,519
Speaker 1: a press release. Damn man, I just don't end the black.

1786
01:34:23,720 --> 01:34:25,280
Speaker 1: The black and white hand shap looked like the beginning

1787
01:34:25,320 --> 01:34:28,320
Speaker 1: of a purp at stupid. All right, well, let me

01:34:48,680 --> 01:34:52,000
Speaker 1: v Angela and Charlotte Maine. Now, Deanna Williams, I know

1796
01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:53,920
Speaker 1: this is an important time because we have so many

1797
01:34:53,960 --> 01:34:57,439
Speaker 1: things to talk about, but it is also Black Music Month,

1798
01:34:57,640 --> 01:35:00,600
Speaker 1: something that you actually was one of the architects of.

1799
01:35:00,760 --> 01:35:04,479
Speaker 1: So let's talk about that, yes, Angelo. Nineteen seventy nine,

1800
01:35:04,560 --> 01:35:08,639
Speaker 1: President Jimmy Carter hosted the first June Black Music Month

1801
01:35:08,760 --> 01:35:13,519
Speaker 1: event at the request of the Godfather, Clarence Avant and

1802
01:35:13,640 --> 01:35:16,320
Speaker 1: some other prominent people in the industry. But the co

1803
01:35:16,479 --> 01:35:20,759
Speaker 1: founders of this period of time are multi Grammy Award

1804
01:35:20,840 --> 01:35:26,240
Speaker 1: winning songwriter, producer Kenny Gamble, broadcaster Edwright, myself, and members

1805
01:35:26,280 --> 01:35:29,719
Speaker 1: of the Black Music Association. And it's the forty first

1806
01:35:29,840 --> 01:35:37,440
Speaker 1: anniversary of June Black Music Month. Tell us ab important Black? Absolutely,

1807
01:35:37,880 --> 01:35:42,839
Speaker 1: it's very important because the music industry generated twenty billion

1808
01:35:42,920 --> 01:35:45,760
Speaker 1: dollars last year. And when you look at the top

1809
01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:47,280
Speaker 1: of the charts right now, at the top of the

1810
01:35:47,400 --> 01:35:51,559
Speaker 1: one hundred list of top selling records, eight of those

1811
01:35:51,640 --> 01:35:54,680
Speaker 1: top ten records are by Black artists. You guys know

1812
01:35:54,840 --> 01:35:58,639
Speaker 1: that hip hop is the number one genre around the world,

1813
01:35:58,760 --> 01:36:01,599
Speaker 1: not just here in America, but all over the planet.

1814
01:36:01,960 --> 01:36:05,320
Speaker 1: So what does that tell us? Black people are making

1815
01:36:05,479 --> 01:36:09,400
Speaker 1: and selling a ton of music, and that's important because

1816
01:36:09,439 --> 01:36:13,040
Speaker 1: it's our culture and it's indigenous to America. You talk

1817
01:36:13,080 --> 01:36:16,320
Speaker 1: about those billions of dallas, you know, I think a

1818
01:36:16,360 --> 01:36:18,200
Speaker 1: lot of it is not trickled down to the artists.

1819
01:36:18,200 --> 01:36:20,120
Speaker 1: A lot of us is not trickled down to the producer.

1820
01:36:20,240 --> 01:36:23,280
Speaker 1: A lot it's not trickled down to the actual singer,

1821
01:36:23,360 --> 01:36:25,479
Speaker 1: which is very, very sad. You know, people are making

1822
01:36:25,720 --> 01:36:29,360
Speaker 1: billions of dallars and they're artists there that are still struggling,

1823
01:36:29,479 --> 01:36:32,160
Speaker 1: losing their homes, losing their cars, and that have sold

1824
01:36:32,280 --> 01:36:34,680
Speaker 1: millions of millions of records. That's that's the horrible thing

1825
01:36:34,720 --> 01:36:37,160
Speaker 1: about that. That's been going on for a long time,

1826
01:36:37,280 --> 01:36:40,160
Speaker 1: which is why as a proud member of the National

1827
01:36:40,360 --> 01:36:44,280
Speaker 1: Museum of African American Music based in Nashville, we will

1828
01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:48,479
Speaker 1: be opening September twenty twenty. It is an institution designed

1829
01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:52,880
Speaker 1: to highlight the contributions of black folks in this country

1830
01:36:52,960 --> 01:36:56,439
Speaker 1: from the sixteen hundreds onto now. But we are also

1831
01:36:56,600 --> 01:37:01,040
Speaker 1: fighting for artists to get more, not just artists, reducers, engineers,

1832
01:37:01,439 --> 01:37:04,360
Speaker 1: music makers in general to get a larger piece of

1833
01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:07,559
Speaker 1: this twenty billion dollars. And and be back to your

1834
01:37:07,640 --> 01:37:11,040
Speaker 1: question about why is June Black Music Month important, Well,

1835
01:37:11,280 --> 01:37:14,639
Speaker 1: this is a multibillion dollar business. One we don't tend

1836
01:37:14,720 --> 01:37:17,000
Speaker 1: to think of our music that way, but it is.

1837
01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:21,000
Speaker 1: It's created by black people, it's co opted and imitated

1838
01:37:21,120 --> 01:37:25,000
Speaker 1: by others, and we appreciate the compliments, but we want

1839
01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:28,599
Speaker 1: to be able to economically participate in all of these

1840
01:37:28,680 --> 01:37:31,679
Speaker 1: billions of dollars. And I might add it's the everyday

1841
01:37:31,760 --> 01:37:36,400
Speaker 1: man and woman who's enriching the coffers of those major

1842
01:37:36,520 --> 01:37:40,040
Speaker 1: record companies. We want our fair share. So the museum

1843
01:37:40,280 --> 01:37:45,200
Speaker 1: is a repository. We have over seven galleries of beautiful

1844
01:37:45,240 --> 01:37:50,320
Speaker 1: information artifacts about our contribution. Our contributions keep getting overlooked

1845
01:37:50,600 --> 01:37:54,439
Speaker 1: Black folks. We were forced immigrants to this country and

1846
01:37:54,640 --> 01:37:58,360
Speaker 1: music is what we use to soothe us in this

1847
01:37:58,960 --> 01:38:02,920
Speaker 1: terrible you know, situation where we were taken from our

1848
01:38:03,240 --> 01:38:07,120
Speaker 1: original homes in Africa, brought over here and free labor

1849
01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:10,000
Speaker 1: for four hundred years. So what you hear in our

1850
01:38:10,120 --> 01:38:14,280
Speaker 1: music is passion, it's joy, it's pain, and it's our

1851
01:38:14,400 --> 01:38:17,719
Speaker 1: soundtrack every day. Think about how much music you consume.

1852
01:38:17,920 --> 01:38:20,040
Speaker 1: First of all, let me also just say that June

1853
01:38:20,080 --> 01:38:23,639
Speaker 1: Black Music Month is an opportunity to celebrate the three

1854
01:38:23,720 --> 01:38:27,120
Speaker 1: of you. You are promoters of the culture. Think about

1855
01:38:27,120 --> 01:38:30,400
Speaker 1: how much music you've played amby in your career. Absolutely okay.

1856
01:38:30,920 --> 01:38:34,160
Speaker 1: You play music that can elevate the spirits of people,

1857
01:38:34,400 --> 01:38:36,599
Speaker 1: and we use it to get us through hard times,

1858
01:38:36,960 --> 01:38:40,240
Speaker 1: good times, turn up, fall in love, fall out of love.

1859
01:38:40,680 --> 01:38:44,320
Speaker 1: Music is intricral to our survival in this country. You

1860
01:38:44,400 --> 01:38:46,200
Speaker 1: know what else, though, it is fascinating to me, and

1861
01:38:46,280 --> 01:38:48,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna I want to talk more about the museum,

1862
01:38:48,240 --> 01:38:49,519
Speaker 1: and I do, of course, I want to talk more

1863
01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:52,680
Speaker 1: about black music man, how you actually got this legislation

1864
01:38:52,760 --> 01:38:56,080
Speaker 1: pass because I read about how you had never done

1865
01:38:56,080 --> 01:38:57,880
Speaker 1: anything like this before, and I know a lot of

1866
01:38:58,000 --> 01:39:00,080
Speaker 1: us right now feel really powerless as far as what

1867
01:39:00,160 --> 01:39:02,400
Speaker 1: can we do in our government to make things happen,

1868
01:39:02,920 --> 01:39:05,719
Speaker 1: you know, to create change. And so can you discuss

1869
01:39:06,040 --> 01:39:08,160
Speaker 1: how that actually happens, because I don't think people understand

1870
01:39:08,160 --> 01:39:10,479
Speaker 1: the process of how you can initiate that and actually

1871
01:39:10,840 --> 01:39:13,879
Speaker 1: bringing out some type of change. Oh well, I appreciate

1872
01:39:13,960 --> 01:39:17,120
Speaker 1: you sharing that. Okay. So nineteen seventy nine, President Jimmy

1873
01:39:17,200 --> 01:39:20,120
Speaker 1: Carter hosting this big event that on the lawn of

1874
01:39:20,160 --> 01:39:22,400
Speaker 1: the White House. It had been done by the Country

1875
01:39:22,520 --> 01:39:26,360
Speaker 1: Music Association in years earlier, but then he said June

1876
01:39:26,479 --> 01:39:29,240
Speaker 1: is Black Music Month. This was at the encouragement of

1877
01:39:29,280 --> 01:39:33,240
Speaker 1: the Black Music Association. Well, fast forward to when President

1878
01:39:33,840 --> 01:39:36,519
Speaker 1: Clinton was in office. I wrote him and asked him

1879
01:39:36,560 --> 01:39:39,400
Speaker 1: to host a similar event. Well, the White House came

1880
01:39:39,439 --> 01:39:41,760
Speaker 1: back and said, well, we've gone through the archives and

1881
01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:45,479
Speaker 1: we see where President Carter declared June black Music Month.

1882
01:39:45,840 --> 01:39:50,120
Speaker 1: But go get us some legislation. Come back, President Clinton

1883
01:39:50,400 --> 01:39:53,639
Speaker 1: will sign a proclamation and we'll celebrate June Black Music

1884
01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:58,160
Speaker 1: Month officially from the perspective of the White House and Congress.

1885
01:39:58,479 --> 01:40:00,799
Speaker 1: So I put on my most comfortable pair of shoes

1886
01:40:01,240 --> 01:40:05,360
Speaker 1: and started walking office to office on Capitol Hill, knocking

1887
01:40:05,400 --> 01:40:09,599
Speaker 1: on people's doors, writing letters. We just really worked hard.

1888
01:40:09,960 --> 01:40:11,800
Speaker 1: And I don't want to take the credit alone, because

1889
01:40:11,840 --> 01:40:14,160
Speaker 1: again there were group of people, but I was out

1890
01:40:14,240 --> 01:40:18,200
Speaker 1: in the front pushing. And finally the legislation. I wrote

1891
01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:20,880
Speaker 1: the draft for it. They put all the ware as

1892
01:40:21,479 --> 01:40:23,880
Speaker 1: and it got passed, and then I was in and

1893
01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:26,599
Speaker 1: out of the White House, private meetings in the Oval

1894
01:40:26,640 --> 01:40:31,120
Speaker 1: Office for President Clinton, President George Bush, on and on,

1895
01:40:31,800 --> 01:40:35,280
Speaker 1: and that's basically the story of June Black Music Month.

1896
01:40:35,320 --> 01:40:38,160
Speaker 1: But we're in our forty first year, and again I

1897
01:40:38,240 --> 01:40:42,280
Speaker 1: want to stress that it's an economic engine, and it's

1898
01:40:42,360 --> 01:40:45,840
Speaker 1: our American soundtrack. It's how we get up in the morning,

1899
01:40:45,880 --> 01:40:48,880
Speaker 1: it's how we function through the day. And now, as

1900
01:40:48,960 --> 01:40:54,759
Speaker 1: we see American cities and international capitals supporting our efforts

1901
01:40:54,800 --> 01:41:00,280
Speaker 1: here in America against police brutality, music has always been test.

1902
01:41:00,439 --> 01:41:03,759
Speaker 1: Music has always been at the forefront of our endeavors

1903
01:41:03,840 --> 01:41:06,479
Speaker 1: here in this country. And it's no different right now.

1904
01:41:07,040 --> 01:41:10,519
Speaker 1: So as the co chair of the Music Industry Relations

1905
01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:13,400
Speaker 1: Committee and on behalf of Henry Hicks, who is the

1906
01:41:13,479 --> 01:41:16,760
Speaker 1: CEO of the museum, we're taking a strong scand in

1907
01:41:16,920 --> 01:41:20,960
Speaker 1: solidarity with people who are protesting around the world about

1908
01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:24,840
Speaker 1: the injustices of racism. Part of what the birth of

1909
01:41:24,920 --> 01:41:27,439
Speaker 1: black music in this country was born out of the

1910
01:41:27,560 --> 01:41:31,639
Speaker 1: cruelty of racism. So long answer to your short question,

1911
01:41:32,080 --> 01:41:35,160
Speaker 1: but that's how the legislation got passed and it has

1912
01:41:35,280 --> 01:41:39,160
Speaker 1: been celebrated by every American president since and again, if

1913
01:41:39,200 --> 01:41:41,679
Speaker 1: people want to become part of our movement and support

1914
