Speaker 2: you don't touch it. So get invested across the t's

Speaker 4: Wait, Welcome to the city, your host.
Speaker 5: Pod.
Speaker 6: Everybody, Welcome home, y'all, Welcome home.
Speaker 4: Please welcome that Paty Surrey, compressions of differences, Woman Jasmine front.
Speaker 7: About her soul. Yeah, say what's up? Say what's up?
Speaker 5: Y'all?
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, welcome home, y'all.
Speaker 3: Welcome home, y'all.
Speaker 6: All right, So we are going to get into a
Speaker 6: conversation that is all too familiar with so many of
Speaker 6: us on Native Lampod. Every week we're talking politics and
Speaker 6: culture and we are thrilled to be here.
Speaker 3: At essence fest, y'all make some noise.
Speaker 6: We're just so grateful to be with y'all today. Absolutely,
Speaker 6: we're talking today about the politics of the attacks on
Speaker 6: black women, and we are seeing it happen on every
Speaker 6: single side. In fact, today there's someone who's missing amongst us.
Speaker 6: We have a good friend of ours named Marilyn Mosey.
Speaker 6: How many of you all know Marilyn Moseby, right, So
Speaker 6: she was the Baltimore City State's Attorney. She was recently
Speaker 6: convicted wrongfully. So there's a petition out for her pardon
Speaker 6: right now asking President Biden to pardon Marilynd Moseby.
Speaker 3: That is live.
Speaker 6: If you just type in Google Marilynd Moseby Pardon, you
Speaker 6: can sign that petition.
Speaker 3: Why am I bringing that up right now?
Speaker 6: She was supposed to be on this stage with Jasmine
Speaker 6: and with Crystal and with us today, but her judge
Speaker 6: in her case said she could not travel. So Marylynd
Speaker 6: is sitting at home with an ankle bracelet right now,
Speaker 6: not with us because of injustice at the Justice Department.
Speaker 6: So we asked y'all to pray for her, but also
Speaker 6: sign that petition. So today we're talking the politics of
Speaker 6: the attacks on black women. And so we have two
Speaker 6: women who have experienced that on every side, both before
Speaker 6: you were in the halls of Congress to now and
Speaker 6: of course Crystal, everything that you've experienced in your case.
Speaker 6: So we want to get into that today. I just
Speaker 6: want to open the Florida You first, Jasman, just to
Speaker 6: say something to the audience.
Speaker 3: So what's up, essence? Listen?
Speaker 8: Uh, somehow they ended up with two Texans, So we'll
Speaker 8: get into that nonsense and what all goes on in Texas.
Speaker 3: But you know, I'm happy to be here.
Speaker 8: The people that run Native Land have been heroes of
Speaker 8: mine for a very long time.
Speaker 3: So like, please, please please clap it up for these.
Speaker 8: Folks again, because there is a world in which they
Speaker 8: would silence voices such as they're theirs. And so I
Speaker 8: want to make sure that we continue to support those
Speaker 8: that are going to tell our very real stories on
Speaker 8: our behalf. So let's make sure that we continue to
Speaker 8: support them. But as many of you may know, I
Speaker 8: had a little issue with a colleague here recently. Issue,
Speaker 8: a little issue, but she learned what it is to
Speaker 8: come for a black woman. And you know I didn't
Speaker 8: necessary barely plan to walk into work that day and
Speaker 8: have those kind of issues, but don't come for me
Speaker 8: unless us in feu come on. So no, but this
Speaker 8: is a very important conversation because one of the things
Speaker 8: that I learned while I ended up clapping back on
Speaker 8: Marjorie Taylor Green in the way that I did, it
Speaker 8: was more so about defending myself in that moment and
Speaker 8: making sure that she learned and everybody else looking that
Speaker 8: you cannot disrespect me.
Speaker 3: I was duly elected.
Speaker 8: Just like she was, and so I was there to
Speaker 8: serve and work on behalf of the people that elected me.
Speaker 8: But more importantly, what I didn't realize is that it
Speaker 8: would open this conversation about the struggle that so many
Speaker 8: women of color have at work and in their workplace
Speaker 8: and the disrespect that they are enduring. And to see
Speaker 8: me sit in my authentic self empowered made them feel
Speaker 8: as if there is a real conversation to be had.
Speaker 3: And that there is something that they can be done.
Speaker 8: So I appreciate the fact that we're actually having constructive
Speaker 8: conversations around what does it look like to exist in
Speaker 8: your workspace and not be disrespected.
Speaker 1: I love that Congressomeman and I got to echo Angela's words,
Speaker 1: Thank you for what you do, because you know, long
Speaker 1: before you were elected, I was a fan of Congressom
Speaker 1: and Jazz and Crockett because you always had a clap
Speaker 1: back ready to go. But what I love is that
Speaker 1: I was backed and rooted in conviction in your beliefs,
Speaker 1: and you show up when you defended yourself that day.
Speaker 1: You were defending all of us who had to grit
Speaker 1: our teeth in the face of some mediocre person who
Speaker 1: don't look like us, who has the semerity to question
Speaker 1: our works.
Speaker 3: So we so appreciate you.
Speaker 1: And I want to say I want to appreciate you
Speaker 1: all because when you all listen, you send videos.
Speaker 3: This is a conversation.
Speaker 1: This is we say welcome home, y'all because we want
Speaker 1: y'all to know y'all are welcome home. And I think
Speaker 1: it's no better way to bring Crystal into the conversation
Speaker 1: to say welcome home to you, sister, because what you
Speaker 1: have gone through, Crystal is abhorrence. Crystal was arrested for
Speaker 1: casting an inconsequential ballot should be pointed out. She was
Speaker 1: then acquitted. My attorney will help me if I say
Speaker 1: something wrong. She was acquitted, and then a higher court
Speaker 1: overturned that acquittal.
Speaker 3: Sore, just correct me, correct me.
Speaker 5: Just real quit the reverse, and again I echo, everyone's
Speaker 5: welcome to your home right here. But as Tiffany was
Speaker 5: alluding to, Crystal in your case, Crystal went, after having
Speaker 5: previous years and counted the criminal justice system in a
Speaker 5: federal way, and having caught a felony many years later,
Speaker 5: she goes to try to do with many of us
Speaker 5: are asked to do, and that you do in some
Speaker 5: ways without even thinking it's just a motor skill. She
Speaker 5: went to cast her vote in any election to have
Speaker 5: her voice counted, and when she got there to vote,
Speaker 5: she was informed that she wasn't on the voter rolls
Speaker 5: and therefore needed to cast what is called a provisional ballot.
Speaker 5: A provisional ballot is what they give you when your
Speaker 5: name doesn't show up, which means there may be a
Speaker 5: question about whether or not your vote can be ultimately counted.
Speaker 5: It is the right procedure to have taken. What happens
Speaker 5: after the election polls close is those ballots then go
Speaker 5: through what we call a curing process. Were they determined
Speaker 5: can it be counted or can't it? What was determined
Speaker 5: that Christmas ballot could not be counted, and that's what
Speaker 5: Tiffany meant by ultimately an inconsequential ballot, a ballot cast,
Speaker 5: a ballot then gone through the curing process, determined it
Speaker 5: couldn't be cured and therefore it had no impact on
Speaker 5: the election. But because of the downright dirty political right
Speaker 5: wing tricks that are happening in Texas and in Florida
Speaker 5: and in many other states throughout the country, they decided
Speaker 5: to want to make an example of this woman who
Speaker 5: was only doing what we asked her and you and
Speaker 5: us to do every election cycle, which is simply to
Speaker 5: show up and have your voice heard, your vote counted. Well.
Speaker 5: Once she did that, the republic conservative regime, white male
Speaker 5: largely led, decided that they were going to make an example,
Speaker 5: decided to prosecute her for voting fraud, for casting a
Speaker 5: vote on a ballot that didn't get cured, wasn't counted,
Speaker 5: didn't impact the election. They ended up winning a conviction
Speaker 5: sentencing her to five.
Speaker 7: Years in jail. Y'all, there are people.
Speaker 5: Who commit homicides and don't get five years in jail,
Speaker 5: certainly don't serve it, But for exercising your democratic right
Speaker 5: ended up having to give five years.
Speaker 7: She went through the adjudicatory process.
Speaker 5: To have it appealed, and on appeal a higher level
Speaker 5: court in Texas decided that one very key element that
Speaker 5: existed that didn't exist in her case was you have
Speaker 5: to knowingly go out and break the law. Chris ll
Speaker 5: didn't realize that she was not eligible to vote, and
Speaker 5: even if she did, the vote was never even though
Speaker 5: cast was never counted, so it never impacted the election.
Speaker 5: So the court said, no, we got to vacate, get
Speaker 5: rid of that earlier conviction and she should be set
Speaker 5: for And y'all, as we say.
Speaker 7: That's right, six years, six years, six years of this process.
Speaker 5: This woman's gone through and endures six years, six years
Speaker 5: of persecution. Well, she gets the appellate court to acide
Speaker 5: with her on the side of right.
Speaker 3: Andrew, let it hurts, how it is part?
Speaker 7: Do y'all know what happened next?
Speaker 9: Twenty eight days later, the DA failed to the higher
Speaker 9: courts again criminal courts of appeal to reverse my acquittal.
Speaker 7: So if you didn't hear that, I'm gonna say it louder.
Speaker 5: Twenty eight days after the vacated sentencing, the vacated verdict,
Speaker 5: the DA's office decided that they were going to file
Speaker 5: another appeal to reverse the appellate Court's decision to reinforce
Speaker 5: the original penalty of five years felony conviction against this woman.
Speaker 5: That's the kind of injustice that's taking place right now.
Speaker 7: You know how many of.
Speaker 5: Us say, or have heard people say, if I was
Speaker 5: alive during the Civil rights movement, I would have been
Speaker 5: I wouldn't, They wouldn't. We're in that moment right now.
Speaker 5: That moment is right now, and so Crystal, in the
Speaker 5: spirit of that, I would love for you to tell
Speaker 5: this audience and the rest of us and those who
Speaker 5: will be listening to the podcast next week, what can
Speaker 5: we do to be of help to you? What has
Speaker 5: this been like for you? What how have you survived it?
Speaker 5: And then how can we help you continue to survive
Speaker 5: it as we beat back this injustice.
Speaker 9: I would like for you guys to go vote. That's
Speaker 9: exactly what we need to do in order to change
Speaker 9: the situation I'm in.
Speaker 3: We gotta get up and we gotta go vote.
Speaker 9: You guys got to remember everybody that was in my
Speaker 9: that has something to do with my situation. To judge,
Speaker 9: the prosecutor, the DA they're all elected officials, so if
Speaker 9: we go out and vote, we can make that difference
Speaker 9: right there. And this has been overwhelming. I was on
Speaker 9: something called supervised release. So when they in twenty eighteen,
Speaker 9: when they told me I was convicted of illegally voting
Speaker 9: for filling out a provision of balot that never counted,
Speaker 9: I had to go back to the FEDS, had to
Speaker 9: go back to prison and do ten months for catching
Speaker 9: a new offense that I'm acquitted of right now, So
Speaker 9: I have to go back and do time come back out.
Speaker 9: I lost a good job job, let me go because
Speaker 9: they said adverse publicity, meaning I had a high profile case. Sir, Yeah,
Speaker 9: so I had a high profile case, so they let
Speaker 9: me go. So I lost insurance, a job, and everything.
Speaker 9: So it's been devastating, devastating to me and my family.
Speaker 9: And six years out on a pillbon over six years
Speaker 9: and finally getting the acquittal March of two thousand twenty four,
Speaker 9: and like I said, twenty eight days later, now I
Speaker 9: don't know what's gonna go on. So I need you
Speaker 9: guys to go vote. It look like two thousand and
Speaker 9: twenty four it's gonna really we really need this, so
Speaker 9: this is what I'm asking. I started organization Crystal Mason
Speaker 9: The Fight Against Voter Suppression. I go out and share
Speaker 9: my stories so I can let people know that if
Speaker 9: you're ineligible in Texas, if you completed your time, you're
Speaker 9: eligible to vote.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 9: So I go out and share my stories and let
Speaker 9: people know exactly who I am and what I went through.
Speaker 3: And this is why this is so important to me.
Speaker 7: Can you name the organization again and where they.
Speaker 6: Can contribute money.
Speaker 9: The organization is Crystal Mason the Fight Against Voter Suppression
Speaker 9: and you can contribute and look up my information upon
Speaker 9: the Crystal Mason Thefight dot org.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much, Crystal. Tiff.
Speaker 6: I know you were going to weigh in earlier, and
Speaker 6: I think it's so important for us to have Oh hello,
Speaker 6: is this one okay?
Speaker 3: Can y'all just try to keep those on consistently?
Speaker 6: It is a live podcast recording.
Speaker 3: God bless you and your family's backstage.
Speaker 6: Okay, Tiff, I was saying reclaiming my time that you
Speaker 6: were trying to say something earlier, and I wanted to
Speaker 6: make sure you ate in. It's so important that we're
Speaker 6: having these conversations is because people might watch movies and
Speaker 6: think things like this could never happen, and they're happening
Speaker 6: every single day, and we don't have the resources to
Speaker 6: ensure that they're a platformed like Crystal. Crystal, your story
Speaker 6: is so important and you will tell it over and
Speaker 6: over again since we are so grateful for you, TI
Speaker 6: if I know you were gonna weigh in, well.
Speaker 1: First of all, thank you, Crystal for your testimony, and
Speaker 1: not only for your testimony, because they're trying to bleed
Speaker 1: us by a thousand cuts, and you didn't lay down
Speaker 1: and bleed. You were standing up and fighting. And I
Speaker 1: want you to know you are not fighting alone.
Speaker 3: You have us.
Speaker 1: You have the people in this audience who are gonna
Speaker 1: go out and know your case and contribute and register
Speaker 1: the vote and register Big Mama and cousins and everybody
Speaker 1: this upcoming election. Because while everybody else is talking about
Speaker 1: how old one candidate is, even though they're real close
Speaker 1: in age, were not talking about a convicted felon with
Speaker 1: thirty four counts under his belt and accused rapist, a xenophobe,
Speaker 1: a misogynist.
Speaker 3: A project thank you somebody who's pull it.
Speaker 1: And his first job in government was as president of
Speaker 1: the United States. Thank you, White America. We need to
Speaker 1: be focused on what the real issue is. The other
Speaker 1: thing I will point out, while Crystal's attack is threatening
Speaker 1: her very life and livelihood, every last one of us
Speaker 1: on this stage has been attacked, and every last one
Speaker 1: of us has had our livelihoods threatened. When I met
Speaker 1: the congresswoman, they were the white men who was running
Speaker 1: the state legislature were threatening to throw her in jail
Speaker 1: because she left to not participate in their foolishness. When
Speaker 1: Angela spoke a truth, an honest truth that dared to
Speaker 1: make white folks uncomfortable, they tried to silence her. When
Speaker 1: my brother Andrew, who is so gifted politically in a way,
Speaker 1: who has covered and anointed in a way, when he
Speaker 1: tried to make tangible change and made white folks in Florida,
Speaker 1: which has become a safe haven for white supremacists, uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: they tried to destroy this man. When I spoke the
Speaker 1: truth that made white folks uncomfortable, they summarily canceled my
Speaker 1: show because they didn't honor you all the show.
Speaker 3: Who listened to it.
Speaker 1: So none of us have the ability to lay down
Speaker 1: and die right now. So I just feel blessed to
Speaker 1: be in the company of other fighters and the echo
Speaker 1: Andrews point, whatever you're doing right now is what you
Speaker 1: would have been doing during the Civil rights movement. So
Speaker 1: when they write this chapter of American history, think about
Speaker 1: what they will write about you and what role you
Speaker 1: played in righting the wrongs the history is put in
Speaker 1: before us right now.
Speaker 6: Jasmine, you you were Flavor Flavor Tiff in a good
Speaker 6: way or the a man corner and when you just
Speaker 6: were like Project twenty twenty five. And I want to
Speaker 6: stop for a moment because Taraji many of you all
Speaker 6: might have seen on the BT or Traji Pansen talked
Speaker 6: Aboutroject twenty.
Speaker 3: Twenty five that day.
Speaker 6: The numbers on our Project twenty twenty five podcasts sore
Speaker 6: people want to know about it.
Speaker 3: How many of you are familiar with Project twenty twenty
Speaker 3: five year? Oh this is an educated audience.
Speaker 6: Well for those at home who missed the pot Ja's
Speaker 6: been breaking down for us real quick, because there's gonna
Speaker 6: be Moore attacks if we let that happen.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I gotta go back to the full circle
Speaker 3: part real quick. Listen.
Speaker 8: So what's so interesting and that part of my story
Speaker 8: that most people don't know is how tied to these
Speaker 8: two women. Specifically, my story is so Tiffany talks about
Speaker 8: when we first met, Listen, I was fleeing my state
Speaker 8: because even though I had been a criminal defense attorney
Speaker 8: for well over a decade at that point, I had
Speaker 8: been dealing in the criminal justice system for a very
Speaker 8: long time.
Speaker 3: I never had a warrant out for my arrest.
Speaker 8: Not until I became an elected state representative did I
Speaker 8: get my first warrant out for my arrest. And the
Speaker 8: warrant was out for my arrest about voting rights because
Speaker 8: I decided that I I was not going to sit
Speaker 8: there and allow them to take rights that my ancestors
Speaker 8: had fought and bled and died for away from my constituents.
Speaker 3: I felt like that was what representation looked like.
Speaker 8: And so when I decided that I was going to
Speaker 8: leave the chamber, they decided to put a warrant out
Speaker 8: for my arrest. But let me take it back a
Speaker 8: little further, because I never wanted to be in politics,
Speaker 8: and even today I shake my head and wonder what
Speaker 8: am I doing. But nevertheless, Crystal story touched me in
Speaker 8: a special way, and I know it's got to be
Speaker 8: some Deltas in the audience.
Speaker 3: There we go.
Speaker 8: So so we know that Delta is always about social action,
Speaker 8: and so what we do is we always show up
Speaker 8: to the state houses.
Speaker 3: So I showed up to the state House.
Speaker 8: I was not elected at this time, and I testified
Speaker 8: on a voting bill. And when I testified, I testified
Speaker 8: about what happened to Crystal Mason and why the law
Speaker 8: was broken, and they act like they couldn't hear me.
Speaker 8: So I then decided I was going to show up
Speaker 8: and make them hear me. And so that's when I
Speaker 8: ran for office. I got elected to office, and as
Speaker 8: a freshman, we actually convinced the Republicans in the House
Speaker 8: to undo the mistake in that law. We actually rewrote
Speaker 8: it on behalf of Crystal, hoping that it would.
Speaker 3: Actually help her case. We did that.
Speaker 8: Republicans actually stood with us and did that. But ultimately,
Speaker 8: as you've heard, you know, it takes a lot for
Speaker 8: somebody to go through what she has gone through and
Speaker 8: to decide instead of going home and crying about it,
Speaker 8: I'm gonna be on the front lines.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna make sure that there's legislative change.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna make sure that nobody silences me, and I'm
Speaker 8: gonna make sure that I encourage other people to go
Speaker 8: out and get these fascists out of office, because that's.
Speaker 3: What Project twenty twenty five is about.
Speaker 8: Project twenty twenty five in short, because I know we're
Speaker 8: gonna be short on time, it's about making sure you
Speaker 8: bow down to the Orange Jesus. Okay, some of y'all
Speaker 8: get there when you get home. Nevertheless, that's what it's about.
Speaker 8: My mom is a federal employee. She is what you
Speaker 8: would consider it to be a career employee. And what
Speaker 8: they're saying is like, listen, lady, unless you are going
Speaker 8: to say that you are going to be loyal to
Speaker 8: the Orange one, you will not have a job.
Speaker 3: That is number one. Number two.
Speaker 8: They're saying that we ain't nothing but sinners, which we are,
Speaker 8: I mean, you know, but nevertheless, they're saying that we
Speaker 8: need to have a country that is based on Christian principles,
Speaker 8: and the Jesus they pray to somehow tells me is
Speaker 8: the same Jesus that they use to justify slavery out
Speaker 8: of the Bible. That's the Jesus that they want us
Speaker 8: to look out for. In addition, to so many other things.
Speaker 8: They want to get rid of diversity, equity, and inclusion
Speaker 8: because they say that if you are diverse, then you
Speaker 8: obviously are not qualified. And so right now, what is
Speaker 8: wild is that we already see this playing out. When
Speaker 8: they go after our reproductive access. That is a part
Speaker 8: of Project twenty twenty five. When they decide to delete
Speaker 8: the DEI offices, that is a part of Project twenty
Speaker 8: twenty five. When they install judges such as Eileen Cannon
Speaker 8: and the people that we have sitting in the Supreme Court,
Speaker 8: I was gonna call them something else, but I don't
Speaker 8: know what I can say here. When they install those
Speaker 8: people who are not following the law but instead are
Speaker 8: deciding that they are going to bend to the will
Speaker 8: of one man and decide that they are going to
Speaker 8: come out with precedents that says that he can be
Speaker 8: a king, and they are crumbling our democracy in front
Speaker 8: of our eyes. So when Tiffany says, yeah, they both old,
Speaker 8: she right, they are both old.
Speaker 3: But there's only.
Speaker 8: One person or one ticket that cares about democracy and
Speaker 8: is going to stand for it and respect the humanity
Speaker 8: that sits in this room. There is another side that
Speaker 8: is saying, you know what, them black folks that are
Speaker 8: going down to essence, we want to get rid of that.
Speaker 8: We don't like them coming together, We don't like them
Speaker 8: talking about the real issues.
Speaker 3: We don't care about the.
Speaker 8: Struggles that are occurring economically or educationally when it comes
Speaker 8: to these black folk. And so while I know that
Speaker 8: no party is perfect, and I'm telling you my party
Speaker 8: is not perfect, there is at least one party that
Speaker 8: is searching for a more perfect union.
Speaker 3: The other one is trying to tear us down. Guys man,
Speaker 3: how's that for a beach blinde bad bill? Y'all know?
Speaker 6: The rest there is a whole remax bleach bind man,
Speaker 6: y'all know. But you know the other thing that I
Speaker 6: think is really significant that we don't always talk about it.
Speaker 6: And I think as people try to unpack the hundreds
Speaker 6: of pages that is Project twenty twenty five, their organizations
Speaker 6: get protected when they do things that are partisan and political,
Speaker 6: like the Heritage Foundation, which is the architect of Project
Speaker 6: twenty twenty five and this work they've been doing for years.
Speaker 6: Tip you talk about this on the podcast all the time, Crystal,
Speaker 6: I do want to come to you to ask you
Speaker 6: what makes you tap into your courage after an attack.
Speaker 6: There are a lot of people, not Jasmine and certainly
Speaker 6: not Crystal sitting up here, who get attacked and recoil. Andrew,
Speaker 6: You're the opposite of that. Andrew got attacked, got acquit it,
Speaker 6: and was like, I'm taking on the whole justice system himself.
Speaker 3: So I want to know what.
Speaker 6: Trait you have that you are endowed with that allows
Speaker 6: you to carry on courageously.
Speaker 9: Well, I told you guys, I did time before. So
Speaker 9: just imagine being a mother and raising kids in prison.
Speaker 9: That was the hardest thing I ever did. And I
Speaker 9: promise my kids when I get out, this will never
Speaker 9: happen again. So when I came back and I started
Speaker 9: going through this situation in regards to the illegal voting,
Speaker 9: I'm a provider, I'm a mother, And that's what gave
Speaker 9: me to care, is to say that no, I'm not
Speaker 9: gonna accept probation. No I'm not gonna accept deferredjudicate when
Speaker 9: I know I didn't do anything wrong. So no I didn't.
Speaker 9: They offered me ten years at first, ten years, uh
Speaker 9: ten years time. Then they turned around and that offered
Speaker 9: me ten years deferred judicaate, Like, hey, take something, No,
Speaker 9: and I went to trial. And when I went to trial,
Speaker 9: and a lot of people don't notice me becoming while
Speaker 9: I was in the federal system, I became a s
Speaker 9: certy five par legal, so a lot of people don't
Speaker 9: know when they send it to me to five years.
Speaker 9: I asked for an appill and anything that's none violent
Speaker 9: and up under ten years you can s you can
Speaker 9: get out on the up pill bond. And that's the
Speaker 9: only red they didn't offer it. My attorney didn't offer it.
Speaker 3: I can.
Speaker 9: At that time, I realized that he wasn't working for me.
Speaker 3: Wow and oh wo uh.
Speaker 9: I asked for an a pill bond and that's the
Speaker 9: only reason why I was out. So you gotta know.
Speaker 9: And that's the problem. That's why we gotta have people
Speaker 9: in the office that's for us. And I'm gonna piggyback
Speaker 9: on Jasmin right here. When Jasmine won the congresswoman, we
Speaker 9: were doing a protest. Jasmine has helped me Like it
Speaker 9: was the winter storm and I had house people in
Speaker 9: my event center because it was cold, so I had
Speaker 9: people staying in my event center. Not only does she
Speaker 9: give me funds to help me out with that, but
Speaker 9: she told me I got you, and I remember that
Speaker 9: when she became a congressman, she went up there and
Speaker 9: she did exactly what she said. She was fighting to
Speaker 9: get me free, and I really appreciate her her.
Speaker 1: Andrew, I think you made a really good point. Thank
Speaker 1: you for breaking down what happened with Crystal. We are
Speaker 1: talking about the politics of the attacks on black women
Speaker 1: because we are going through it right now. But I
Speaker 1: just wanted to give a shout out to our brothers
Speaker 1: because I know y'all are going through it, and I
Speaker 1: would love to know from Andrew what keeps your fight
Speaker 1: because when you hear what Andrew went through, and he
Speaker 1: talked about it on a podcast, so you can go
Speaker 1: back and listen if you haven't heard, but little things.
Speaker 1: We were going through an airport together and we Angela
Speaker 1: and I were going through clear TSA. And Andrew said,
Speaker 1: oh no, they took that from me. They took this man,
Speaker 1: an innocent person. He's convicted of nothing, broke no law,
Speaker 1: committed no crime, and they took this man's TSA, passport,
Speaker 1: everything and tried to destroy him at every possible level.
Speaker 1: And he stands with us, and now his biggest quarrel
Speaker 1: is with me and Angela so I wonder what keeps
Speaker 1: you going, Andrew, And that.
Speaker 5: Is no small affair if you listen to the show
Speaker 5: trying to compete with these two.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I appreciate the question of Angela and I.
Speaker 3: You know that's Tiffany, sir.
Speaker 5: I was deliberately confusing the two of you to get
Speaker 5: a reaction from you. You one, but in seriousness, you know,
Speaker 5: I was tearing up with you, Crystal, because still parts
Speaker 5: of when I hear other people's experience with the criminal
Speaker 5: justice system feels really traumatic to me. And I didn't
Speaker 5: spend any time in jail, but I know what it
Speaker 5: feels like to have the United States of America against
Speaker 5: insert name.
Speaker 7: It was your name, it was my name at one point.
Speaker 5: And as a person who have been elected and advocated
Speaker 5: and fought on behalf of people, I feel like I
Speaker 5: had a lot more courage and strength to fight for
Speaker 5: other people than I did for myself, although I knew
Speaker 5: I did nothing wrong.
Speaker 7: You know how, sometimes.
Speaker 5: Scripture tells you to believe what God says about you
Speaker 5: and not what they say about you. He has to
Speaker 5: give us that word because it's easy to allow the
Speaker 5: enemies language and definition of who you are to seep in,
Speaker 5: especially when it's repeated to you time after time after
Speaker 5: time after time, and is reinforced in all of the
Speaker 5: institutions and systems that they've built to put us under.
Speaker 5: And so what makes it so special what you're doing
Speaker 5: is that she didn't ask for this perch. She didn't
Speaker 5: ask to be anybody's hero except for the children that
Speaker 5: she was raising. It even then, like most of us,
Speaker 5: you're just doing what you can do to keep up,
Speaker 5: and you feel like you're always, even though graceful, above
Speaker 5: the water, paddling like you've never you know, paddled before
Speaker 5: in your life, underneath the water. And when we think
Speaker 5: about the ways in which we should be performing, when
Speaker 5: we see injustices, you're living it. You're breathing it because
Speaker 5: it showed up for you. But when we asked her
Speaker 5: what we could do for her, she didn't say, send
Speaker 5: me nothing. She didn't say right to judge right up,
Speaker 5: ed right, it is, go lay down in front of
Speaker 5: the building and take out the prosecutor.
Speaker 7: She said, voe.
Speaker 5: Because that's what they're most afraid, that's what they're terrified of.
Speaker 5: That's what they're fearful of. They are terrified that y'all
Speaker 5: are gonna wake up and realize that you have the power.
Speaker 5: So their job is to convince us, to confuse us,
Speaker 5: to deter us, to make us feel like we don't know,
Speaker 5: and that were too weak, and that the process too
Speaker 5: difficult for us regular people to understand, so that we
Speaker 5: then disempower ourselves so that we check out because it's
Speaker 5: too hard. Jasmine didn't check out, Crystal didn't check out.
Speaker 5: I'm not checking out, and either is Angela or Tiffany.
Speaker 5: I got it right, because what I know for sure
Speaker 5: is that while your name may be on those legal papers,
Speaker 5: she is simply a harbinger, an example, a shot over
Speaker 5: the bow. It is meant to drag her and the
Speaker 5: rest of us through so much trash and garbage that
Speaker 5: you make the decision that you never want to be
Speaker 5: drug through that same trash and garbage.
Speaker 7: So guess so maybe I don't vote.
Speaker 5: Maybe I got a problem because I got a ticket
Speaker 5: the other day, and I don't want a ticket to
Speaker 5: be confused with a felony or conviction. And what anything
Speaker 5: they can do to keep us out and to keep
Speaker 5: us from knowing what God gave us equality, superiority, morality,
Speaker 5: and thinking and performance and action and everything.
Speaker 7: We're too good to be taken out.
Speaker 5: And that's how you survive four hundred years of degradation, tyranny, subjugation,
Speaker 5: and slavery when you.
Speaker 7: Know, not know, but when you know.
Speaker 5: Not because the sun, because the Son of God has
Speaker 5: already told us that it's promised.
Speaker 7: That's it. That's how I got over.
Speaker 5: Now I know that that's how you're getting over because
Speaker 5: I'm listening to your life experience.
Speaker 7: Y'all.
Speaker 5: She asked to be a hero, and that means neither
Speaker 5: did the rest of us. But we have to stand
Speaker 5: in the gap as if we were.
Speaker 6: Andrew, I love this, and part of it is because
Speaker 6: you know, one the doors of the church are now open.
Speaker 3: We have these moments on the podcast. Yes, we take them.
Speaker 6: Some colections too on that point, though, all jokes aside.
Speaker 6: There are some things that we need to do agenda
Speaker 6: wise as we prepare for this election. There are a
Speaker 6: lot of folks who aren't excited about voting. You live
Speaker 6: with some of them, you are neighbors with some of them,
Speaker 6: you follow some of them on social media. They're not
Speaker 6: excited about the options, and so we've got to give
Speaker 6: folks things to be excited about. We have to get
Speaker 6: an agenda across the finish line, and we have to
Speaker 6: do that by advocating what's in our best interests.
Speaker 3: Right. I think one of the.
Speaker 6: Things that I'm really struggling with right now is that
Speaker 6: Marilynd was the latest example. But she's not going to
Speaker 6: be the last example. Marilynd Moseby. There are other people
Speaker 6: who the Department of Justice is going after. This Department
Speaker 6: of Justice didn't do a review of the cases that
Speaker 6: Donald Trump took on to go after his political enemies.
Speaker 3: I would rather be.
Speaker 6: Challenging this Department of Justice to get it right than
Speaker 6: to be trying to figure out a bail fund and
Speaker 6: a legal defense fund for Jasmine just because she set
Speaker 6: up for what was right for us in a committee
Speaker 6: hearing or on the House floor. And that is very
Speaker 6: well where we could be with Project twenty twenty five.
Speaker 6: So I would love for you all to start talking
Speaker 6: about costs to action for this audience. What can folks
Speaker 6: do at home? How many of y'all are voting in November.
Speaker 6: How many of y'all got family members who are saying
Speaker 6: they're not gonna vote in November? Some of us, somebody
Speaker 6: said I'll fight them because them hands didn't go up.
Speaker 6: Y'all were like, I wish they would. I love that.
Speaker 6: But we know that we're hearing it too much. How
Speaker 6: many of us are hearing it too much? That folks
Speaker 6: don't want to vote? Right, So y'all, what should we
Speaker 6: be doing?
Speaker 3: Chris? So we got our marching orders from.
Speaker 6: You, but there are some other things that we need
Speaker 6: to be doing.
Speaker 3: Vote And what.
Speaker 1: Call to action would be whatever you can do in
Speaker 1: this case, I would say Crystal's case. If you can
Speaker 1: contribute five dollars, ten dollars, whatever you have, and I
Speaker 1: know the wealth gap doesn't give a lot of us
Speaker 1: disposable income, but whatever you have, contribute to this fund
Speaker 1: or whatever voting advocacy in your community.
Speaker 3: If you don't have any disposable.
Speaker 1: Income, which I understand testimony and shout out to anybody
Speaker 1: who doesn't, you can canvas, you can show up, You
Speaker 1: can knock on doors. You can make sure your neighbors
Speaker 1: are registered to vote. You can volunteer to drive them
Speaker 1: to vote. And Angela always deflects when I say this,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna say this today. A lot of people
Speaker 1: will come and say, I want to do what you
Speaker 1: all do, or they come into Angela say I want
Speaker 1: to be like you. I want y'all to know nobody
Speaker 1: on this stage set out to be famous. Nobody on
Speaker 1: this stage set out to walk a carpet. That was
Speaker 1: never the goal. We were always trying to build community,
Speaker 1: not brands. And so when I call Angela the chief
Speaker 1: of staff of the Blacks, because when y'all call, she answers,
Speaker 1: she fights, She works hard, and it gets exhausting doing
Speaker 1: that alone. So if y'all can help us in this fight,
Speaker 1: if everybody does a little, no one person has to
Speaker 1: do a lot. So whatever call to action you can
Speaker 1: do at the state, federal, or local level to help
Speaker 1: make sure they rather see this country burn to the
Speaker 1: ground before they see somebody who looks like us run it,
Speaker 1: Please get involved in whatever way, door knocking, cash, phone banking,
Speaker 1: whatever you can do.
Speaker 9: I'm gonna just I was gonna her say, my colleague
Speaker 9: action would be piggybacking on Cabinson going out there actually
Speaker 9: knocking on doors and talking to people. I have walked
Speaker 9: in barber's shops, I've walked up to people in parts
Speaker 9: and just held a conversation with them and just find
Speaker 9: out if they're registered. If not, and if y'all have
Speaker 9: the tools or know where to get registered. You know, guys,
Speaker 9: that's the ones we need. The ones that's not registered,
Speaker 9: we need to get them registered because we are. Everybody
Speaker 9: already raise their hands, so we know you're going so
Speaker 9: that you need to commit to least getting two people
Speaker 9: registered to vote and get them out there, and that's
Speaker 9: gonna make the difference for us.
Speaker 8: Now, I'm just gonna say, I know we're doing a
Speaker 8: call to action, but I cannot skip over Andrew and
Speaker 8: what you said. And I don't know how many of
Speaker 8: you were thinking along the same lines as I was
Speaker 8: when Tiffany talked about the disenfranchisement that he has suffered
Speaker 8: with no conviction. Now, for those that believe that Donald
Speaker 8: Trump is like us, Kendrick Lamar got a song for you,
Speaker 8: they not like us, because here's the reality. You have
Speaker 8: people that are considering voting for Donald Trump to be
Speaker 8: president of the United States and he has thirty four
Speaker 8: felony convictions. If Andrew has been disenfranchised without a conviction,
Speaker 8: you imagine how limiting it is for a president of
Speaker 8: the United States, who is arguably the leader of the
Speaker 8: free world. To have thirty four convictions. Do y'all understand
Speaker 8: their's countries? He can't even go into with convictions. You
Speaker 8: tell me how effective he is going to be for
Speaker 8: us if he can't lead this world, because that's what
Speaker 8: the president of the United States does. That's number one.
Speaker 8: Number Two, no one would dare to treat him the
Speaker 8: way that Andrew was treated. I have never for those
Speaker 8: of you that don't know, I practiced criminal law and
Speaker 8: civil rights law before I went into politics. I have
Speaker 8: never had a client that was out pretrial when over
Speaker 8: eighty something counts of felonies. They were sitting behind bars
Speaker 8: waiting on their day. Okay, I guess y'all ain't got
Speaker 8: no cousins. I do, and I'm telling you the reality.
Speaker 8: So I want you to understand that. Honestly, Donald, if
Speaker 8: he cared to say that he was really going to
Speaker 8: talk to black folk about something that has disproportionately impacted us,
Speaker 8: such as criminal justice, because now he understands. Because now
Speaker 8: he doesn't he still don't understand because he hasn't seen
Speaker 8: what we have had to live through. Number one, But
Speaker 8: if he was smart, he would actually have an agenda
Speaker 8: as it relates to criminal justice, reform.
Speaker 3: But in that debate, the debate that everybody talking about.
Speaker 8: Last I checked, he didn't talk about criminal justice reform,
Speaker 8: and supposedly the number one thing that it's polling right
Speaker 8: now about what people care about is the economy.
Speaker 3: He ain't talk about that either.
Speaker 7: Black jobs though, job.
Speaker 8: Wait what he did talk about the black jobs we
Speaker 8: do it our black jobs here, didn't talk about that.
Speaker 3: We are doing our black job. Actually, our black job
Speaker 3: in November is to vote. Hello, Hello, That is our
Speaker 3: black job. I think that's the podcast episode name now.
Speaker 3: I think we just changed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but back
Speaker 3: to the cause of action. Sorry, my bad. I just
Speaker 3: I couldn't leave that there. You should. You should make
Speaker 3: that your next T shirt.
Speaker 5: Sis.
Speaker 3: Your black job is to vote it to vote, y'all
Speaker 3: would buy that.
Speaker 7: T shirt you said something?
Speaker 3: Now, all right, you don't even need to give me
Speaker 3: no money on it.
Speaker 8: That's because you know it's I'm going to donations because
Speaker 8: I gotta sit to my good man.
Speaker 3: My god man ain't come. That's the only probably try
Speaker 3: to charge you.
Speaker 8: Yeah they will, Yeah, they would try to charge me,
Speaker 8: you know anyway. They do all kinds of stuff. I
Speaker 8: can't do it. I ain't Clarence Thomons.
Speaker 3: But nevertheless, oh y'all caught that we not like us either.
Speaker 3: He not like he not like us.
Speaker 6: I'll see walk on that one, and that's not that
Speaker 6: for Clarence. Carry on, carry on.
Speaker 8: So cause to action number one, there are spaces that
Speaker 8: we just cannot infiltrate. Right now, all of the data
Speaker 8: shows that not Let me just ask, y'all, how many
Speaker 8: of y'all have a group chat, whether it's your your line, sister,
Speaker 8: group chat, your whatever it is. We all have these
Speaker 8: group chats and they are safe spaces, your family group chat.
Speaker 3: Those are places that we can't infiltrate.
Speaker 8: And honestly, you are a lot more influential than any
Speaker 8: politician will ever be. I can talk until I'm blue
Speaker 8: in the face, and people are still going to say
Speaker 8: that I have an agenda. I do have an agenda,
Speaker 8: and my agenda is y'all, But nevertheless, somebody is going
Speaker 8: to believe that I have something else going on.
Speaker 3: So I need you to tell your stories. One of
Speaker 3: the things that I do.
Speaker 8: I was able to talk to Omegasi Fi as well
Speaker 8: as Delta Sigma Theta, and both of them are organizations
Speaker 8: where you've got to go to college. The numbers show
Speaker 8: that if you go to college, chances are if you black,
Speaker 8: you had to take you'll student loans. Anybody in here
Speaker 8: ever had a student loan? Okay, So one of the
Speaker 8: other things that I asked is I ask in those
Speaker 8: rooms how many of you have had your student loans
Speaker 8: relieved under this administration?
Speaker 3: Is there anyone in this room? Thank you? I got
Speaker 3: some Can you guys stand up? I think this even
Speaker 3: have this on the podcast? Wow? Wow, all right, wow,
Speaker 3: Well let me tell y'all something.
Speaker 8: Let me tell y'all some y'all know why I can
Speaker 8: ask that room or ask that question in a room
Speaker 8: full of black college educated people is because I know
Speaker 8: my team.
Speaker 3: I know the numbers.
Speaker 8: There has been one hundred and fifty seven billion dollars
Speaker 8: worth of student loan debts that have been relieved, and
Speaker 8: people complain. No, that's a that's a clapping moment for real,
Speaker 8: because while some people talking about a twelve hundred dollars
Speaker 8: stimulus chick, some of y'all haven't got six figures.
Speaker 3: Off your back. So so if you're okay, so hey, yah,
Speaker 3: your number? What's your number? Some a hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 3: one hundred and seventy eight. I I have to stand
Speaker 3: up now.
Speaker 6: I want to hear her number.
Speaker 3: Her what's your number?
Speaker 5: Dollar?
Speaker 3: What's your number? What does she junior?
Speaker 9: Oprah?
Speaker 6: I came here.
Speaker 1: Two hundred hundred, two hundred thousand, one.
Speaker 3: Seventy wow seven, oh wow?
Speaker 4: This good?
Speaker 10: Okay, seventy thousand, she said, seventy.
Speaker 3: Now, let me tell y'all something.
Speaker 8: I'm still in my feelings, so I don't want y'all
Speaker 8: to keep throwing these numbers out because my student long
Speaker 8: dad ain't that high and it ain't been relieved.
Speaker 3: Lis'sen here. But but but but here's the deal.
Speaker 8: Like in all seriousness, one thing we don't like to
Speaker 8: do is black folks talk about money. But if people
Speaker 8: can sit up here and act as if Trump gave
Speaker 8: them a stimulus check, which I want to correct the record, y'all.
Speaker 3: Need to holler at Auntie Nancy.
Speaker 8: Auntie Nancy Nancy Pelosi, who was the Speaker of the
Speaker 8: House was the one that originated the bill, and it
Speaker 8: got through the Democratic House, the Democratic Senate, and all
Speaker 8: this fool did was slowed down the checks because he
Speaker 8: wanted to put his name on them. That's number one,
Speaker 8: that's Number Two, it was more than one stimulus check.
Speaker 3: There were a total of three.
Speaker 8: The other two were signed by none other than President
Speaker 8: Joe Biden. So if you want to say that you're
Speaker 8: happy about stimulus checks that ain't coming back, let me
Speaker 8: put that out there too.
Speaker 3: Number One, you need to think a Democrat.
Speaker 8: Number Two, if people can get up and talk about
Speaker 8: how they got a twelve hundred dollars check and they
Speaker 8: came from Donald Trump, every single one of y'all that
Speaker 8: had one hundred and seventy thousand and two seventy two point.
Speaker 3: Fifty whatever it is. If it's five dollars, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: need y'all to.
Speaker 8: Go tell somebody because when people are talking about this
Speaker 8: administration has not worked for black folk as I can
Speaker 8: see it, they are working for black folk, now, let
Speaker 8: me tell you. And the reason that this matters, because
Speaker 8: we are at the Global Economic Black Economic Forum, is
Speaker 8: because this is.
Speaker 3: How we build wealth. I know, the costs are still high.
Speaker 8: This is why you need to make sure that the
Speaker 8: Democrats are running the House, the Senate, and the White House,
Speaker 8: because we get it. I know, y'all get mad because
Speaker 8: they get out there and they say things like the
Speaker 8: economy is great.
Speaker 3: It's great. It's great. I get it. I get it,
Speaker 3: I get it, I get it. I get it.
Speaker 8: They talk in numbers, but I understand housing costs are
Speaker 8: still high. I know that the interest rates are still high.
Speaker 8: We don't set those, the President don't set those. But
Speaker 8: we have a plan. It's a plan that includes a stimulus.
Speaker 8: It's also a plan to be more aggressive on these
Speaker 8: suit loan desks because we know that black folk have
Speaker 8: been disproportionately impacted. This means that you can get the
Speaker 8: home ownership you need to build that generational wealth. So
Speaker 8: while somebody want to talk to you about twelve hundred dollars,
Speaker 8: I'm gonna need to I'm gonna need y'all to talk
Speaker 8: to them about some real dollars that have changed y'all's lives.
Speaker 8: And while that food may cost more, you got more
Speaker 8: money in your pocket to buy.
Speaker 6: Okay, So here's the thing. Here's the thing now, I am.
Speaker 6: I am very grateful for everything. Representative Jasmine Crocker just shared.
Speaker 6: I just want y'all to know that the campaign is
Speaker 6: finally ready to advertise on our program, and so we
Speaker 6: could just say from this point forward, that's Joe Bideney
Speaker 6: approved this message because that was a whole campaign ad.
Speaker 6: So now maybe y'all we can get out of that
Speaker 6: host read they want us to do it because JAZZMN
Speaker 6: definitely just had a whole advertisement for them. So that
Speaker 6: said the record that run tail that ad, I think
Speaker 6: they are recording to ag But I also want to
Speaker 6: just say in this close as we get ready to
Speaker 6: close TIV Andrew Manna come back to you. It is
Speaker 6: so important that we continue to engage with you on
Speaker 6: our podcast.
Speaker 3: We enjoy it.
Speaker 6: I hope y'all know how much we enjoy doing Native
Speaker 6: lampod and we love the NLP fam. Please make sure
Speaker 6: you download and subscribe. And even more importantly, y'all, we're
Speaker 6: gonna be talking some really really important issues. I need
Speaker 6: you to pay attention to these petitions. We need to
Speaker 6: get an appeal, and not an appeal, a pardon for
Speaker 6: marylnd Moseby. We need to ensure that Crystal Mason stays free.
Speaker 6: We need to ensure the jazz and is never prosecuted.
Speaker 6: We need to ensure that Andrew we raise money for
Speaker 6: Andrew's legal defense fund. He's gonna be mad that I
Speaker 6: said it, but it's true. That was a weighty and
Speaker 6: expensive defense. And thank god he is free. Get him
Speaker 6: his pre check back? Who worked for TSA in here?
Speaker 6: I'm gonna come see you. We need to get his
Speaker 6: pre check back. All everybody working today at TSA? All right, Well,
Speaker 6: I'm gonna find onne of y'all. But the only other
Speaker 6: thing that I'll say to you is please make sure
Speaker 6: that you vote, and I need you all to start
Speaker 6: pushing an agenda where we can actually get something done.
Speaker 6: Run up all the way until the Democratic National Convention
Speaker 6: and make sure they understand how important it is to
Speaker 6: hear from black folks. I know soon Black Future's Lab,
Speaker 6: which also has a sister organization, the Black to the
Speaker 6: Future Action Fund, will be pushing out a black economic agenda.
Speaker 6: Please make sure you share and support that as well.
Speaker 6: We are Native Lampod and we might have one more
Speaker 6: clo closing call to action and action.
Speaker 5: I just wanted to up Crystals, bring two people to
Speaker 5: arrive with five The congress women got at it and
Speaker 5: her comments Joe Biden, the congresswoman, Crystal, any of us,
Speaker 5: any of your favorite celebrities, they have a less higher
Speaker 5: influence on you voting than your own family members. It
Speaker 5: is family members who have the greatest impact in turning
Speaker 5: out voters to the polls, even though you hear all
Speaker 5: those advertisements and so what do I mean by that?
Speaker 5: And I'll short circuit it and arriving with five, Just
Speaker 5: list the other five members of your family who you
Speaker 5: question whether or not they're gonna vote. They didn't told
Speaker 5: you they're not gonna vote, or they're not talking about
Speaker 5: voting at all.
Speaker 7: If they're eligible.
Speaker 5: Legally allowed to vote in your respective states, make it
Speaker 5: your job to arrive with five, get them there. That's
Speaker 5: your sole purpose on election day. If all of us
Speaker 5: did that, man this thing, well, I lost the race
Speaker 5: for governor in the state of twenty plus million people
Speaker 5: by point zero zero two percent. All right, so if
Speaker 5: we all do that, that's how you want.
Speaker 3: To she mad about it? They voted for you.
Speaker 1: I love it, Just say real quickly, Angela. A lot
Speaker 1: of people reach out to us and say, come to
Speaker 1: Philly or come to Alabama.
Speaker 3: Come here.
Speaker 1: We love doing live shows, we love connecting with you all.
Speaker 1: It does cost money to do, so we would love
Speaker 1: to come everywhere y'all invite us. But when you reach out,
Speaker 1: just know it usually has to come with a sponsor
Speaker 1: to get us all there. We gotta stay. We have
Speaker 1: to have a venue for folks like you, So we're
Speaker 1: happy to be here. At essence, it's not the end
Speaker 1: of our life tour. We look forward to more tour dates.
Speaker 1: But I battle the budget around said. If you have
Speaker 1: a budget, or control a budget, or know somebody who
Speaker 1: controls a budget, I'm gonna give you all Angela Rye's
Speaker 1: cell phone number.
