00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: having guests done. So this is our first show. No,

24
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: it's not because we have we have Reverend we have Yeah,

25
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: but what am I talking about?

26
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 6: This is our first time virtually, to be fair to

27
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 6: that's our first time virtually having you.

28
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: That's true. That's true. So excited about that.

29
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 4: But that's not true either, Andrew.

30
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 5: No, no, no, I mean, hey, shout out to the first, but.

31
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 6: It's some type of first. This is the only inauguration

32
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 6: that matters. Yeah, right, this in this calendar year. And

33
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 6: speaking of this calendar year, it's twenty twenty five, and

34
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 6: also Project twenty twenty five.

35
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 4: As well underway yesterday. Well, by the time y'all see this.

36
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 6: Two days ago, I did an executive order of conversation

37
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:33,639
Speaker 6: with our NLP audience.

38
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 4: We're calling them sidepods or solo pods.

39
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 6: I I was gonna say, depending on if you ask Andrew.

40
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 4: Or the rest of us, it's a side pod.

41
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 6: And I think that what we also will get into

42
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 6: every show is what is happening from Project twenty twenty

43
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 6: five that the administration is pushing through.

44
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 4: So that will come out for shore in today's show.

45
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: I love it, Andrew.

46
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: What you got, well you all know, I guess as

47
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 2: an extension of Project twenty twenty five Trump Racist January sixth,

48
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: insurrectionist slash racist bigots. Keeping with the theme and what's

49
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 2: motivating this administration and his supporters, it seems, is coming

50
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 2: after people of color, and in this case very specifically

51
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: black folk in this withdrawing of support for a diversity

52
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: and inclusion in the workplace, government, non nonprofit and for profit.

53
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: I want to assess to boycott or not to boycott?

54
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: That is the question. I look forward to getting into

55
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 2: it with y'all.

56
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you guys have asked about that.

57
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: Another question that we get asked a lot is what

58
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,679
Speaker 1: do we do? So many people ask in our audience

59
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: but also in my personal space, just our personal friends

60
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: have been asking what do we do? Angela? I know

61
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: you get this question probably the most because people will

62
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: even ask me, can you ask Angela? And it'd be

63
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: about something very cific or something very broad. So I

64
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: just want to talk about that and what that means

65
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: for our audience and how we can better handle that

66
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: question and how people can better frame their question.

67
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 2: And you say, what what can we do in response

68
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: to what's happening?

69
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 6: Is that everything everybody knows? Everybody knows right now, we

70
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 6: say what do we do? That we are in an

71
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 6: existential crisis? How do we respond? I want to say

72
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 6: this before we went out of the rundown. TIFU laugh

73
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 6: at this, Andrew. For the first time. I finally got

74
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 6: called Tiffany in an Instagram comedy yesterday. So you know,

75
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 6: she's always like people are calling me and I was like,

76
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 6: that doesn't happen to me. They were like, Tiffany, I

77
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 6: just love you, can you? And I was like, I

78
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 6: just am not Tiffany.

79
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 4: She ain't even anything.

80
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 3: I love it.

81
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: I love it.

82
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: They do that all this time.

83
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 5: I get it. I get it all the time.

84
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be called Andrew. I'm sure I know ORR

85
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 4: today because look at my shirt.

86
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: Y'all are show up.

87
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 4: Though I know. I was just thinking that.

88
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 6: I would support black, our own brands and historically black collegists,

89
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 6: since don't nobody else want to.

90
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: Okay exactly, speaking of let's get into it.

91
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 7: Thank you so much for welcoming home each and every

92
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 7: week when I listen to you guys.

93
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 8: My name is doctor annbra Brown, and I have a question.

94
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 8: I know that Donald.

95
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 7: Trump is constantly putting out these ook orders that are

96
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 7: very harmful and very impactful in a negative way towards

97
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 7: the minorities.

98
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 8: Especially brown and black communities.

99
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 7: And so I think just recently he decided to stop letting.

100
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 8: Funeral agency celebrate Black History Month.

101
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 7: And my question is, like, why are Black Americans just

102
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 7: allowing us to happen? Like why can't we stay up

103
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 7: and say no, this is not what we're gonna do,

104
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 7: Like stop giving our money to companies and organizations and.

105
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 8: Platforms that do not care about us. When that happens,

106
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 8: I feel like they can be defeated and show that no,

107
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 8: you can't do this. Test like why are we allowing us?

108
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 8: Do you have any thoughts? Fakes?

109
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Ambers, Ambers question is really hitting on what

110
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 2: a lot of folks in our community are talking about

111
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: right now. We've had conversations in my household I'm sure

112
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: y'all have with with family and other friends around you know,

113
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: how do we continue to give our money away to

114
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 2: corporations who at this time are backing away from us

115
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 2: and doing so in such a public way as you

116
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: all know, and we talked about in the rundown. You know,

117
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 2: some of the more patronized brands by our community are

118
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 2: looking like they are betraying us, and it's hitting very,

119
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 2: very close to home. I'll start with the fact that

120
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 2: Target just recently announced that they were ending their DEI work,

121
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 2: their emphasis on recruiting more minority let businesses into their profile.

122
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 2: We'll talk more about that, but I just wanted to

123
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: quickly mention some of the companies who have joined Target

124
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 2: in stepping back from our community and supporting diversity, Amazon, Walmart, Meta, McDonald's, Ford,

125
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 2: Harley Davidson, Lowe's, John Deere Tractor supply, Brown fore Men,

126
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 2: and the list actually is continuing to grow. I think

127
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: part of the good news is y'all is that the

128
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: list of companies who are saying they are sticking with

129
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 2: us is also growing. Some of those are Apple, Costco,

130
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: Ben and Jerry's, EIF Beauty, JP Morgan, and again that

131
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: list is continuing to grow. But folks, man, this is

132
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: our j and I were having a conversation about the

133
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 2: Target piece because it's one of the first places we

134
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,239
Speaker 2: were able to go to find Black History Month shirts

135
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 2: that fit our kids that they could wear the school

136
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: and felt we're proud about it. And we also, of course,

137
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 2: as y'all know, have friends who are who on the

138
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 2: merchandising side. In fact, why don't we, just before we

139
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 2: get into our conversation just quickly throw to just one

140
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: of those examples of vendors, of black vendors who are

141
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 2: part of Target's national portfolio.

142
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is Melissa Butler. She's the owner of the

143
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: lip Bar, which is carried in Target. Let's take a listen.

144
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 9: I've seen a lot of people like, this is why

145
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 9: we need our own Target, or this is why we

146
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 9: need our own Walmart, which is true. But do you

147
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 9: know why we don't have our own Target. Do you

148
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 9: know why we don't have our own Walmart? Because we

149
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 9: barely shop black brands. We're constantly competing to tell people

150
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 9: to shop the lip bar over Charlotte Tilbury, or the

151
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 9: lip bar over Mac, or the lip bar over Nyx

152
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 9: or Elf or etc.

153
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: Etc.

154
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 9: So the reason why we don't have these powerhouse brands

155
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 9: is because.

156
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 4: Our support is finicky.

157
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 9: In twenty twenty, when it was cool to shop black

158
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 9: owned businesses, we all got an inflated sense of support

159
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 9: for about three months, and then by the end of

160
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 9: the year we had all this extra inventory. Some people

161
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 9: had hired a bunch of people, and guess what, it

162
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,239
Speaker 9: wasn't cool to shop black anymore. But again, the reason

163
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 9: why we don't have the control that y'all want us

164
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 9: to have is because we are not keeping our dollars

165
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 9: with on our community in the first place. So now

166
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 9: when somebody decides that they don't want to support our community,

167
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 9: we're all up in arms.

168
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 4: Well, we've created this.

169
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 5: So that's one perspective, y'all.

170
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: I'm curious to know, ladies, how are you all thinking

171
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: about some of the upcoming I think boycotts that are

172
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: pretty well predictable. Reverend al Sharpton has announced along with

173
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 2: this committee that there'll be a strategic list of companies

174
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: that will be first targeted, no pun intended. And then

175
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 2: there's been an announcement that February first would be the

176
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: start of a nationwide boycott of target. I'm curious to

177
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 2: know how you all feel about that, especially in the

178
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: context of these business owners.

179
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 4: I am.

180
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 6: I was so grateful to our friend, Reverend Mark Thompson

181
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 6: in our feed we have a black media feed, and

182
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 6: he said, and I don't think I'm out of line.

183
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 6: We normally don't share out of here, but this is

184
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 6: a synopsis he gave us from the letter from the

185
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 6: Birmingham Jail, which we know is from Reverend Martin Luther King,

186
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 6: Reverend doctor Martin Luther King. He said that there are

187
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 6: four steps that you take in a direct action against

188
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 6: any entity, and the first is the collection of the evidence,

189
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 6: which I think that we mostly have. These companies have

190
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 6: come out now and have said where they are rescinding,

191
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 6: where they are retracting. I do think it's important that

192
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 6: we distinguish Amazon, and we can talk about that today

193
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 6: or another time. To negotiation, which normally are your list

194
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 6: of demands. I have not seen a list of any

195
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 6: clear demands. The third is spiritual purification. As you all know,

196
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 6: doctor King had a commitment to nonviolent resistance. Some people

197
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 6: believe it's something else, but there is that. And then

198
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 6: the fourth is direct action, which are your protests, your boycotts, etc. Now,

199
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 6: what I think is important in this day and age

200
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 6: is I think we've gotten very comfortable with our ability

201
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 6: to blow things up. And I don't mean in a

202
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 6: literal sense. I mean in a figurative sense. We can

203
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 6: say like we're gonna take this person that we cancel

204
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 6: in this person, this brand is canceled, blah blah, but

205
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 6: we don't have no type of strategic plan.

206
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 4: Reverend now has talked.

207
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 6: About them doing a ninety day review and then selecting

208
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 6: two companies from that there are more than two companies

209
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 6: that are basically assaulting our community, trying to take our money,

210
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 6: but not respect us, not honor us. And I think

211
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 6: that we do need to be in conversation with the

212
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 6: vendors at these brands to figure out what does support

213
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 6: look like for them if these boycotts are indeed going

214
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 6: to happen. What we should not do is subject our friends,

215
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 6: our family, brands that we care about to friendly fire,

216
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 6: because people are going to be real hot about if

217
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,599
Speaker 6: they can't get Boss Lady no more. They're gonna be

218
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 6: real hot about if they can't get something from Tapa,

219
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 6: whether it's her book or some products she has in Target.

220
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 6: And I think that we are at a time a

221
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 6: very critical juncture where when we make enough noise, when

222
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 6: we make our demands clear, and we are on one

223
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 6: accord about it, there.

224
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 4: Is a response.

225
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 6: And I'll give you an example that's very timely right now. Yesterday,

226
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 6: the Trumpet or the night before, the Trump administration put

227
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 6: out a memo from the Office of Management and Budget,

228
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 6: which is what I talked about on the Live show yesterday,

229
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 6: which was essentially a federal funding freeze. Today as a

230
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 6: result of the up uproar as a result of the

231
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 6: clear information we gathered as a result of our requirements

232
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 6: about what our expectations are as taxpayers of the federal government.

233
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 6: That federal funding freeze has been rescinded. It's been rescinded.

234
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 6: A judge stopped them yesterday. But today just now breaking

235
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 6: news while we're recording, it's been rescinded.

236
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 4: Stuff happens when we move, things change when we.

237
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 6: Stand together, and so I would implore us to figure

238
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 6: out what our demands look like in this very critical time,

239
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 6: not just of brands, not just of entities, nonprofits, etc.

240
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 6: But also of this administration and also of the Congress,

241
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 6: particularly those representatives who are aligned with our beliefs. If

242
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 6: we stand on run accord, I believe that fascism can

243
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 6: be beat. So I wanted to use that example because

244
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 6: I think it's a timely and it's an approach that

245
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 6: works universally. Sure our methods can change. We don't have

246
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 6: to do as doctor King did in the fifties and

247
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 6: the sixties as TIFFs.

248
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 4: So Alane went out as a.

249
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 6: Sixty fourth episode for the nineteen sixty four Civil Rights Act,

250
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 6: because we're trying to preserve it.

251
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 4: What is it look what does preservation, survival and.

252
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 6: Abundance look like it look like for us in this

253
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 6: day and age. And I think that is what we

254
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 6: need to wrestle with and get on the same page about.

255
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 3: Well.

256
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: I want to thank doctor Brown for a question. Appreciate

257
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: you listening and tuning in and taking the time to

258
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: drop a video. I do take a bit of an

259
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: issue with the framing, and I think it's important for

260
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: us to know Black folks ain't sitting around letting anything happen.

261
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: We have never done that, and I can see why

262
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: some people may think that. And she's not doctor Brown.

263
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: You're not the only person I've heard say that. I've

264
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: heard so many people say that, and I want you

265
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: to know it is not true. We have never been

266
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: a docile, laid down and let it happen people. We

267
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: have always we damn near freed ourselves in this country.

268
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: You know, we did free ourselves in this country, and

269
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: we are a liberated people who will fight to hold

270
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: and protect that liberation. I know a lot of what

271
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: you see, the imagery you see on the very antiquated

272
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: echo chambers of cable news, shows like there are two

273
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: equal forces fighting each other because so often our truth

274
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: makes them uncomfortable, so that's not what gets highlighted. Our

275
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: resistance makes them uncomfortable. That's why you only hear about

276
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: Nat Turner as if that was the only slave rebellion,

277
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: when in truth, what there were hundreds of people who

278
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: fought to the death. And so if I can offer

279
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: some hope, there are people all across this country right

280
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: now as we sit here and speak, who are activating,

281
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: who are organizing, who are trying to figure it out,

282
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: just like you, and I think we have to at

283
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: least keep that hope in mind. Don't believe their truth

284
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: about us. What we need in this moment is black

285
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: folks who believe in black folks enough to not believe

286
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: the bullshit they put out there about us. So and

287
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: you all hear us on this podcast. You've watched the

288
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: work that Angela does, You've seen the work that Andrew does,

289
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: the work that we do here together to try to

290
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: make sure that people are informed. And we can't do

291
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: it all by ourselves. So I think that's an important

292
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: distinct distinction to make We are not let standing by

293
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: letting anything happen.

294
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 2: I feel that I feel that I also feel what

295
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: Amber is pointing out if I were to compare the

296
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 2: Trump administration one to the Trump administration two and how

297
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: the country seemed to respond. Right now in this moment,

298
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 2: the pushback feels pretty vacant, pretty void, And from just

299
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 2: my own personal lived experience and conversations you know, that

300
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: I've had and just things that I've observed, it feels

301
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 2: like this man is browbeating us. We are catching whiplash

302
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: left and right, trying to keep up with the impact

303
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: of these executive orders. Angela's breaking news on the recension

304
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 2: of one. We saw them step back on the Tuskegee

305
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 2: Airmen when they had taken that out of the training

306
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 2: curriculum for members of the Air Force and the larger military,

307
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 2: And so they're hearing something and it's feeling like we're

308
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 2: revving up to show that we are prepared to reckon

309
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 2: with you when you better be prepared to reckon with

310
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 2: us if we can square up. But a as a country,

311
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 2: when we look at the inauguration and we see corporation

312
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 2: after corporation after corporation, people who wrote statements following January sixth,

313
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 2: cutting ties, We're done with this. This was a you know,

314
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 2: a reach too far? Are now special guests, and everybody's

315
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 2: treking down tomorrow Lago to pay homage to bend the knee.

316
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 2: That is, in my experience pretty how do you say

317
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 2: deflating for the opposition? And my response really is twofold

318
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 2: so one to our leaders, our national leaders, folks in Congress,

319
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 2: I mean folks in the Senate, I mean these are elected.

320
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 2: I'm speaking very specifically on the elected side of this,

321
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 2: which is y'all need to clone Mitch McConnell on the left,

322
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 2: because I don't know how it is that when Republicans

323
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 2: were out of power, they were somehow able to bring

324
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 2: the government, the business to a grinding halt. When the

325
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 2: President declared war on the Congress by saying he has

326
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: appropriation power over them, wherein it's given to the Congress

327
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 2: in the Constitution of the United States, I would have said,

328
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 2: we ain't hearing no more nominees for any position in

329
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,239
Speaker 2: this government until we come to a reckoning on the

330
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 2: fact that Congress is the appropriator by constitution. Why would

331
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 2: we go from calling this man out saying that he

332
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 2: is creating an illegal act by trespassing on the rights

333
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 2: and the responsibility of Congress through appropriation and then in

334
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 2: the afternoon hold a confirmation hearing for three four five

335
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 2: of his nominees. No, sir, we're bringing the Congress to

336
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 2: a halt until you recognize this because this man is

337
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 2: willing to roll the dice and take a chance that

338
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 2: the same Supreme Court that made him a king when

339
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 2: it comes to prosecution and accountability, will be the same

340
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 2: Supreme Court that will hold him, that will have his

341
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 2: back on this fight with Congress around appropriation and then

342
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 2: to the boycotts. Just real quick and I'll be done.

343
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 2: And this is to say the folks in Montgomery did

344
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 2: not want to have to disrupt their lives by walking

345
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 2: and carpooling to work, to church, to school, to social activities.

346
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 5: You have it.

347
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 2: When the boycott was announced, it wouldn't agreed upon by

348
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 2: all black people and Montgomery. In fact, we know that

349
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 2: through protests practically ten percent of us participated and all

350
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: of the civil rights demonstrations combined during that period of time.

351
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 2: So we're not going to be able to get everybody

352
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 2: signed on and by in uh through ballot or or

353
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 2: them expressing their opinions. But the damn thing, after a

354
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 2: year's time worked. It was inconveniencing. It was. It was

355
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 2: mind boggling, it was frustrating, it was angering for us,

356
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 2: but they stuck to it. We there was an announcement,

357
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 2: there was the plan was laid. We said we are

358
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 2: not getting back on this and back on this bus,

359
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 2: and that indignity to be suffered until y'all come to heal.

360
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 2: And they bought Montgomery to heal. I say that to say,

361
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 2: I've seen people texting and me, and and and and

362
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 2: my wife and just reading some of this stuff. Folks,

363
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 2: Well we can't do this because we got black brands. Well,

364
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 2: guess what. We spent a couple of days just looking

365
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 2: at how we can get access to those black brands

366
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 2: outside of Target. Is there a direct distribution from a

367
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 2: from a provider directly to my house? And yes it

368
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 2: existed for a good number of them. Target was a

369
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 2: distribution opportunity, but there was also a direct way to

370
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 2: get to the to the to the vendor to get

371
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 2: what it is that you want us you can support them.

372
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 2: So all I have to say is where there is

373
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 2: a will, there is a way. And if it isn't

374
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 2: making you uncomfortable, if it isn't disrupting your pattern, if

375
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: it isn't inconveniencing, mind boggling, mind blowing, upsetting, then you're

376
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 2: not doing it right.

377
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: Can I add?

378
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 2: But these folks have never coming to us with respect

379
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 2: until we use our dollars to say hell Na, If

380
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 2: you don't respect me enough to employ me and to

381
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 2: employ the qualified brothers and sisters who are putting product

382
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 2: into this street, then you don't deserve my money. Period.

383
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 1: Angela. Let me ask you, because Andrew's making this point

384
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: about our de lyrics in Congress, and I have to

385
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: be honest, like, I don't know who our leaders are,

386
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: and I you know, Andrew respectfully, I definitely am not

387
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: looking at elected officials as our leaders these days, because

388
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: I think they are there to uphold an institution that

389
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: quite frankly needs to be disrupted. At this point, I

390
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: think I'm ready to dis antle everything. But Andrew, you

391
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: do make a legitimate point that so many other people

392
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: have set. What are Democrats doing so, Angela? You heard

393
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: Andrew suggests, well they need to just halt government? Is

394
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: that possible? One? Do the Democrats have the power to

395
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 1: do that? And two? Is the Congressional Black Caucus large

396
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: enough in number where they can halt legislation. Most of

397
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:21,959
Speaker 1: them are in the House, so I don't know how

398
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: they would like halt the Senate confirmations. And as we're

399
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: so disaggregated in Congress, and as a Democratic Party is

400
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: so disaggregated, you have white people there in the Democratic Party.

401
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: Who are you know, representatives in Congress who want to

402
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 1: uphold the institution of white supremacy, so it's not in

403
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: their interest to bring it to a haul. All the

404
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: Republicans were united in upholding white supremacy, and on the

405
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: Democratic site you don't have that. So what power do

406
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: Democrats have?

407
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:48,959
Speaker 4: You know?

408
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 6: So first I just want to say we didn't know

409
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 6: what our mini power was going to be at I

410
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 6: really hope our MINIPO today can be the first party.

411
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 4: Your question, which is, I don't.

412
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 6: Even know who our leaders are, Okay, let's do journey

413
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 6: not look into two members of Congress. So I'm dying

414
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 6: to know who your leaders are. That is a cold tease,

415
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 6: So y'all just know. And also, since we talked about

416
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 6: teases before I answer this question, I'm already off topic.

417
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 4: You guys.

418
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 6: We have a really great interview with Leslie Jones at

419
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 6: the end of this show. Make sure you stay and

420
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 6: hear that interview. So the CBC does have the numbers,

421
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 6: but more importantly, the Congressional Black Caucus has always had

422
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 6: the conscience. And I think what is incumbent upon all

423
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 6: of us as black people right now is to move

424
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 6: as if we are the conscience of whatever space we occupy.

425
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 6: I love what Andrew said because it's such a good reminder.

426
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 6: You guys know, my memory sucks, but it was such

427
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 6: a good reminder what Andrew said. Only ten percent of

428
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 6: the people participated in the boycott practice in Montgomery. I

429
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 6: was watching this clip. It was Doctor Claude Anderson recently,

430
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 6: and this man was like critiquing a clip of Doctor

431
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 6: Claude on Breakfast Club. He mentioned that there was a

432
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 6: black man, I believe it was a preacher, and I

433
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 6: want to get this wrong, who offered up buying our

434
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,479
Speaker 6: own buses during the time of the boycott. And I

435
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 6: had never heard this. I don't know if you guys

436
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 6: are familiar with the story. I had never heard this story.

437
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 6: Doctor King at al didn't want that as a part

438
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,959
Speaker 6: of this strategy. But what would have happened if that man,

439
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 6: if this preacher would have just proceeded and said, well,

440
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 6: ain't but ten percent. He also, let's ten percent over

441
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 6: here are going to work on this. We are so

442
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 6: much more powerful when we play our role. When we

443
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 6: play our position, Like everybody not gonna go to the

444
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 6: boycott in a protest, and that's fine, you still gonna

445
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 6: reap the benefits like I wish you would participate. But

446
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 6: what I'm saying is ultimately your obligation is to find

447
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 6: your lane and occupy that well, it is to dominate that.

448
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 6: It is the person that writes the best should be

449
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 6: doing our demands. The person that articulates should be speaking

450
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 6: our demands. The person that can go and negotiate and

451
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 6: isn't the rebel riser should should be negotiating our demands,

452
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 6: and then we have to figure out what next. But

453
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 6: when I think about our members, the CBC was never monolithic,

454
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 6: and it's definitely not.

455
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 4: Now you said you don't know who.

456
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 6: Our leaders are, but the main leader we have is

457
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 6: a black man. For the first time, we have the

458
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 6: first ever black Democratic leader, and Hakem Jeffries as frankly, especially.

459
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 4: This week, as far as I'm concerned, been killing it.

460
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 6: They raised hell about the onb memo and they saw rewards.

461
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 4: There is a day of.

462
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 6: Action that they're planning the day this podcast drops, where

463
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 6: they're engaging all types of organizations with different interests to

464
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 6: ensure that this administration knows that it can't run over anybody. Now,

465
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 6: I'm gonna tell you the message has been a little flawed.

466
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,719
Speaker 6: And I've said this to as many of them as

467
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 6: I can. It's not cohesive. And if enough people, whether

468
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 6: they're influenced or athletes or their political commentators, enough people

469
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 6: have said they're not clear about what the.

470
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 4: Democrats path forward is.

471
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 6: I think that they do need to say, you know,

472
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 6: this is a president that we didn't expect to see

473
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 6: in this role. Again, we have been on our heels.

474
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 6: We were on our heels of Project twenty twenty five.

475
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 6: We talked about it, but we didn't plan for it.

476
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 6: Now here are our plans, here's how we're going to respond.

477
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 6: We have Lisa blown Rochester, we have Corey Booker, we

478
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 6: have Angela also Brooks, we have Raffaeo Warnock, and we

479
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 6: have people who are allies to them that could stop,

480
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 6: you know, closure in the Senate who could say no,

481
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 6: you're not going to have unanimous consent to proceed with

482
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 6: these nominees.

483
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 4: A lot of folks have said.

484
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 6: They could push back on the folks who he keeps

485
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 6: trying to nominate, who represent because they wrote the chapters

486
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 6: in Project twenty twenty five, including his OMB nominee who's

487
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 6: not even an yet.

488
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 4: That was the interim that caused out of hell.

489
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 6: Yesterday, right, So there are things that they can do

490
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 6: in that regard as well. We can go on and

491
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 6: on about the ways, but I just don't want us

492
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,959
Speaker 6: to give hope. And we should always remember that our

493
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 6: most sacred obligation to these members of Congress is not

494
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 6: to expect them to move without our demands. We should

495
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 6: be telling them what we want to see, what we

496
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 6: need to see, whether it's on our movement building, it's

497
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 6: on messaging from them, or it's on legislation that we

498
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 6: need them to pass or block.

499
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 2: Angela, can I just borrow you.

500
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: You really quickly, just so our viewers know. O and

501
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: B is the Office of Management budget sola OMB memo.

502
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: It is the memo announcing the funding free. So anytime

503
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: you hear O and B, that's what that is. Office

504
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: of Management.

505
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 5: Correct, thank you for that.

506
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 4: In yesterday, I said that ninety two times.

507
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 2: I just want to give an example of what a

508
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: member of the United States Senate could do when I

509
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 2: said grind his confirmations to a whole Tommy Tubberville, a

510
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 2: US Senator last year, refused to confirm any nominees to

511
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 2: the military brass brought it to a screeching halt for months.

512
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 2: Criticized by Republicans and Democrats alike for the tactic, A

513
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 2: single member of the US Senate, which we got what

514
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 2: forty seven, forty eight Democrats whatever that are in the

515
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 2: United States Senate, one of them can grind that body

516
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: to a complete and total halt. Now again, I don't

517
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 2: think you go nuclear on every fight that we have

518
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 2: with this administration. I actually think they ought to have levels.

519
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 2: There are to be levels of urgency. This one, we

520
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 2: just get into people to make calls. This time, we're

521
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 2: going and we're putting our best communicators out there, and

522
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 2: they're going to bring the message into American people's homes.

523
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 2: Third level, when we at you know, level red, then

524
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 2: we are shutting shit down. And what I am terrified

525
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 2: of right now is that they have been told by

526
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 2: consultants that because Donald Trump is going to do everything

527
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 2: and have us ridditing every which way. We have to

528
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 2: hold our fire for just the right fight. Well, that

529
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 2: is nonsense. If Donald Trump is dropping shit every single

530
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 2: day that is impacting our lives, why do we leave

531
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 2: him the zone to make his message known? And nobody

532
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 2: is there with a counter And I don't mean nobody,

533
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 2: but I just mean a coordinated, strong, impactful, and strategic

534
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 2: way getting out there and fighting this man. You meet

535
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 2: him right where he is, well it it doesn't take

536
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 2: the right fight. Every fight that is deriving us of

537
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 2: our livelihood is the right fight.

538
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 4: I agree with that.

539
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: I like the idea of doing a minipod on who

540
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: are our leaders? I think that's definitely worth a discussion.

541
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: Some of the things you all are speaking to about

542
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: the fight and you know how to frame the fight.

543
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: I think it gets us to the conversation around what

544
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: do we do? And so we do have a viewer

545
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: question who poses a specific question around what Native Land

546
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: can do. So let's take a listen to that question,

547
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: and then I have thoughts on the other side.

548
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 3: Good morning, Native lamp pod and pod fans.

549
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 10: My question is for right now that we already know

550
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 10: we got four years of this everyday spend cycle that

551
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 10: will be the second round of the Trump administration. How

552
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 10: can Native Lamp pod help individuals understand better how to

553
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 10: get involved with the local and state government, because basically

554
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 10: the feeds have already said thanking the food with us,

555
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 10: So if y'all could, could y'all providing insight to help

556
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 10: us out watch for the hook?

557
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 5: I love yes at the end of the building.

558
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: Yes, shout out to Omega Side five Fraternity Incorporated. We

559
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: appreciate your question, brother, But I I love that question

560
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: because I like that he's focused on where can we go?

561
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: What can we do? But you know, I get asked

562
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: this question all the time, what do we do? What

563
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: do we do? What do we do? This question is

564
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: a little different because he's saying, Okay, the federal government

565
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: is going to be bulldozing ahead, what can we do

566
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: at the state and local level? And as I said

567
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: many times before, a lot of these policies began at

568
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: the state and local level. A lot of these shitty

569
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: policies bubble up from your Republican controlled state legislatures. These billionaires,

570
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: they are smart, they are strategic. They start placing people

571
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: on your school boards because that is a launching pad

572
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: for them to get into Congress, they start funding campaigns

573
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,719
Speaker 1: as a state representative, a state senator. So you know,

574
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: some of this stuff has already happened. But this idea

575
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: of and my co host may disagree with me, so

576
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: I want to hear you guys thoughts. This idea of

577
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: somebody guide, somebody, point us in the right direction. And

578
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: we can get more into this on THEO when it

579
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: comes to our leadership. But what I've started asking people

580
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: is well what are you doing? Because I'll say I

581
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: am not an all seeing guru where I can say, oh, okay,

582
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: well here's what you need to wake up tomorrow and do.

583
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: I'll ask people, well, what is it that you care about?

584
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: What is the thing that's impacting you and your family most,

585
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: you and your community most? And then there's usually something

586
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: you can do in that capacity, there's some sort of

587
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: resource you can find. Our good sister Joteka Edie does

588
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: the win with Black women. Call every Sunday where they are.

589
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: It's thousands of women from across the country organizing. That's

590
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: just a step. Because some people have said to me, well,

591
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: I'm not the person to bring it together, I'm the

592
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: person to give me, my marchin orders, and I go

593
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: out and do it, and so my pushback. I always

594
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: say this all the people who say, if I was

595
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: alive during the Civil Rights Movement, I would have Whatever

596
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: you're doing right now is the thing you would have

597
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: been doing.

598
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 2: Then.

599
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: If you doom scrolling through Instagram, that's what you would

600
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: have been doing during the Civil Rights movement. If you

601
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: are man twelve hours of TV, that's what you would

602
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: have been doing during the Civil Rights Movement. The time

603
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: is now, So when it comes to these local government,

604
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: I think it's a lot easier to navigate local government.

605
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: And this takes the example of black folks ain't just

606
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: sitting around letting something happen. It's a lot eier. You

607
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: can get twenty of your friends at your house and

608
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: have a state senator over and confront them and talk

609
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: to them, say I got twenty people, we all got

610
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: twenty dollars each to donate your campaign, or we ain't

611
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: got nothing. We got bodies to move. I want to

612
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: come you to come to my house and hear what

613
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: we care about. You can do that. The city council,

614
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: school board, state rep, state senator, and even a representative

615
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: from the governor's office, like make noise and be heard.

616
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: So that's just my thought. But I'm curious from you

617
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: guys because I know you all get that question all

618
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: the time. And what do you say when individuals ask

619
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: you that?

620
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 4: I want to defer to Andrew.

621
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 6: And I'm also going to add an extra layer onto

622
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 6: this question for you, ag. You started such a tremendous

623
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 6: organization that I don't think gets enough credit. When you

624
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 6: were at P five, which is People for the American Way,

625
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 6: Andrew created an it's called the Young Elected I know

626
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 6: my question, Damn, I got it, the Young Elected Officials Network.

627
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 6: And it was so powerful because they harnessed the collective

628
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 6: energy and power of young elected officials and various capacities

629
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,479
Speaker 6: throughout the country. Many of them are still in elected office. Sadly,

630
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 6: he's gonna be mad that I'm gonna do this, but I'm.

631
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:28,239
Speaker 1: Gonna do it.

632
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 6: Sadly, one of them went on to become a turncoat,

633
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 6: that is Kristen Cinema. Kristen Cinema left and we don't

634
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 6: know what happened, or we pray that the lawyer brings

635
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 6: her back home to her right mind and to her

636
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 6: better politics.

637
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 4: But in the meantime, Andrew, I do think.

638
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 6: That things like that, where you're not only strategizing on

639
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 6: policies that matter and that would be impactful for communities,

640
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 6: but also what roads lead to next positions for these

641
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 6: folks are mission critical. Can you please talk about the

642
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 6: important of folks being engaged and running for office themselves?

643
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 6: Like it's so shyy to be in the game when

644
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 6: you standing on the sidelines barking orders but you're not

645
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 6: there on the field.

646
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 4: I'm one of those. I'm gona stay on the sidelines,

647
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 4: but care that's real.

648
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 2: And when you barking them a lot of times you're

649
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 2: not barking them to the right people.

650
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, so you kick it up dust.

651
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 2: But I will say this because it's such a it's

652
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 2: a good question, a profound question, and also an accessible

653
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 2: response and answer. Y'all, it is not rocket science. I

654
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 2: know it feels that way. But you can't eat an

655
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 2: elephant hole. You eat it piece by piece by peace.

656
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 2: Angela earlier reference, we all have a role to play.

657
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 2: The first role all of us out of play is

658
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 2: we need to lock into our cell phone the district

659
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 2: office number for our member of Congress and both of

660
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 2: our United States Senators. I understood the question, but I

661
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 2: do not concede that the federal government is out of

662
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 2: our reach simply because the Republicans are in control. That's

663
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 2: when the that's when the right woke up, when we

664
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 2: were in control, started turning local offices and began going

665
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 2: after Barack Obama and the Democratic Congress on the House,

666
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 2: on the Senate side, and throwing them out at the

667
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 2: midterm elections. This is go time right now. We are

668
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 2: not excused out of Washington, DC because we are the majority,

669
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 2: and they still got our money up there, and we

670
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 2: ought to be telling them where those dollars ought to go.

671
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 2: So locking those numbers because we ought to be making

672
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 2: those calls. Every time the word comes down, we hear

673
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 2: that they're doing something, y'all. I know it sounds overplayed,

674
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 2: but I'm telling you right now, I've been an elected official.

675
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 2: I've been on the receiving end of what a massive

676
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 2: response looks like and what a doll response looks like.

677
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 2: And when the doll response comes in, I can tell

678
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 2: you it had no impact whatsoever on the way I

679
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 2: was going to vote on an issue, left or right, center, whatever.

680
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 2: A huge response for I'm a zoning issue. Right, a

681
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 2: gas station wants to go in on the end of

682
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 2: the corner of this neighborhood. The neighborhood says, we don't

683
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 2: need no gas station, we need a grocery store. Then

684
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 2: they organize and they start sending letters. They call my office,

685
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 2: They left messages we are against this. We are against

686
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 2: this even if no grocery store is out there to

687
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 2: be had right now. We believe you ought to sit

688
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 2: on the land until there is one that is ready

689
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 2: for us. Right And when those when my staff came

690
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 2: in and said, we've the phones are ringing off the

691
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 2: hook today about this thing, I knew that I couldn't

692
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 2: be cavalier. I had to deepen into it. I had

693
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 2: to know what I needed to know so that however

694
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 2: I arrived at my decision, I could explain it. It

695
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 2: was reasoned and it could stand the test of time.

696
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 2: So when we choose to say, oh, both my senators

697
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 2: are Republicans, and so they're not gonna hear me anyway,

698
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 2: light that line up anyway, because their interns and their

699
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 2: staff are going to report to them.

700
00:36:59,600 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 3: Sir.

701
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 2: We got a lot of calls on this, and guess

702
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 2: what that member of Congress is gonna ask that elected.

703
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 2: The physic's gonna ask, hey, are we hearing much feedback

704
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 2: from the district about such and such?

705
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 4: And two zero two two two four three one two one,

706
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,960

Speaker 4: member or your senator.

00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 2: And if you don't touch that google zero.

709
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 4: Two two zero two two two four three one two one.

710
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 6: That's not how you reach Andrew, but that is how

711
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 6: you reach your members of Congress.

712
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 2: That is a a shuffle board. You call it, You

713
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 2: tell them who you want.

714
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 3: What is it?

715
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 2: Called it?

716
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 3: Something?

717
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 2: Board? Switchboard, switchboard and see look at me. Okay, okay,

718
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna list out everything at

719
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,720
Speaker 2: this time, y'all, but I will say the accountability piece

720
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 2: here when we're out of power, quote is everything. We

721
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 2: cannot go silently into that good night.

722
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

723
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 2: If they are coming for us, they need to hear

724
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 2: us in response. The other thing. It takes work, it

725
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 2: takes effort, it takes energy. But this is our time

726
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 2: where we need to be in our local communities registering

727
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:11,760
Speaker 2: people to vote, and not just registering them to vote,

728
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 2: activating them around the issues in their neighborhood and in

729
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 2: our communities. That we can impact. If ten of us

730
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 2: went down to the city Hall meeting tonight and had

731
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 2: a word to say, I guarantee you, your mayor and

732
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 2: your commissioner's council members will hear you, because we don't

733
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 2: get ten people out of meeting on a single issue ever,

734
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 2: and when they do show up, it's a big a deal. Okay,

735
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 2: so it does. I guess I should say this. It

736
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 2: ain't that hard, y'all. It does require some work, but

737
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 2: everything I've said to this point is within our touch,

738
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 2: it's within our reach.

739
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: They want us to believe that it's hard. They want

740
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: us to believe that they're inaccessible. It's complicated. Government lingo

741
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: is so complicated, and it does. I think there's a

742
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 1: concerted effort to not have intelligent found in black folks

743
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: who can actually take government lingo and make it very digestible,

744
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 1: very accessible. The Beltwegh media is very incestuous the way

745
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: they talk about these things, and they don't make it

746
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 1: very accessible to the masses. I know we have to

747
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: wrap up soon because I'm excited to get to the

748
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 1: mini pod about Angela's question, and I'm really excited because

749
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: we're going to have Leslie Jones on in just a

750
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: few minutes. And you know, look, I there's a lot

751
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: of serious things happening in the world, but black joy

752
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: is defiance. And you know it's okay sometimes to have

753
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: a light moment. But this is the question I want

754
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: to ask you guys, because it's something that I think

755
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 1: so many of us are struggling with. There is there

756
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: are some who believe we're gonna have to hurt for

757
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: us to really that is the thing that's going to

758
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: activate people. And I am struggling with this because I

759
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: do feel I just I feel like, you know what

760
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: y'all got it. This is what the majority of the

761
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: country voted for, or the majority of the voting population

762
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: voted for. Not even that, because he didn't win the

763
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 1: popular vote. This is what enough of y'all voted for

764
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,280
Speaker 1: that I want you all to feal the brunt the challenge.

765
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 4: Didn't win the popular vote.

766
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: He didn't win the popular vote. He didn't win the

767
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 1: popular vote.

768
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,879
Speaker 4: No, Donald Trump, this election didn't win the popular vote.

769
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 2: Did not win the popular vote.

770
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 6: He won just win When did I miss?

771
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's never.

772
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 4: He absolutely won the popular vote.

773
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 2: No, he did not want the popular vote.

774
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: He has never won the popular vote.

775
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 6: I am trying to figure out that must change minority

776
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 6: of the voters.

777
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 4: Electoral college, but I don't.

778
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: He has never won the popular vote. So my my

779
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: point with that is the people who did want this,

780
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 1: I'm okay with them getting hurt, you know, like this,

781
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: this is what y'all got, get it. The problem is

782
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: we are going to be hurt first, and we gonna

783
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: be hurt worse. And so I'm trying to figure out

784
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: how to strike that balance. And there are some among

785
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: us even who say, look, a lot of us are disconnected,

786
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 1: we're despondent, we're not paying attention. Were gonna have to

787
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: feel that pain and that's gonna be the thing that

788
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: activates us. Is there a way to activate people before

789
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 1: we feel that pain?

790
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 2: And I know before we have had enough pain to

791
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 2: last us our parageny and our children's children's children's children.

792
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 2: Yeah a lifetime. Yeah, so we we've experienced the pain.

793
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 2: But the truth is is it does in so many

794
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 2: ways have to travel up our street, down our block,

795
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 2: up our driveway into the house. In order for us

796
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 2: to see that this thing is coming apart at the seams.

797
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: We have actually real quick correction from that neg correction.

798
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, because you guys we can never be associated with misinformation.

799
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 4: I don't know. I know y'all is pain from this election.

800
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 6: I was too, y'all are incorrect, like woefully Donald Trump

801
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,760
Speaker 6: received seventy seven million, three hundred and one, nine hundred

802
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:03,240
Speaker 6: and ninety seven votes. Kamala Harris received seventy five million,

803
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 6: seventeen thousand, six hundred and twenty six votes. The election

804
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 6: total in this election in twenty twenty four was over

805
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 6: one hundred and fifty five million voters. Donald Trump beat

806
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 6: Kamala Harris by more than two point three million votes.

807
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 4: So I was like, I know, I'm not this.

808
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 2: Way that's corrected. I just I think what I was

809
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 2: thinking was the twenty twenty what was.

810
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 4: Elect twenty twenty sixteen, twenty sixteen?

811
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 2: Sorry no, no, no, twenty twenty and twenty sixteen, how woefully

812
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 2: underperforming we were as voters as the electorate, so in

813
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:45,280
Speaker 2: essence being he had less popular vote than the twenty

814
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 2: twenty or the twenty sixteen, and of course he didn't

815
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 2: have the popular vote in twenty sixteen, Hillary I.

816
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: Won the popular vote by the smallest margin of any president.

817
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: But yes, you are, we are incorrect. Andrew and I

818
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: were in.

819
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 4: I was like, wait a minute.

820
00:42:58,320 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 2: I was like, I still want to be.

821
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 4: You can't.

822
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 6: I'm going to tell you right now, and this might

823
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 6: I might end up being more misinformation in y'all. I

824
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 6: still am not gonna miss this man won this election.

825
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 4: I don't have no proof. I just got a good feeling.

826
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 1: So there are so many people who feel that way,

827
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: and I that speaks to it though, because it's it's

828
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: almost like you would rather believe that than believe that

829
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: a majority of the people in this country voted for this,

830
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: and I am well.

831
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:27,760
Speaker 4: And the majority of people didn't.

832
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 6: And more people stayed at home who are registered, more

833
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 6: people who are registered stayed at home. So really, what

834
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 6: we could say is neither one of in one the

835
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 6: couch did which is the fear of the whole time,

836
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 6: which is sad. I didn't mean to throw off the

837
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 6: whole conversation. That's important.

838
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: We should. I want to get to the conversation on

839
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 1: leaders and we keep we have Leslie backstage waiting, so

840
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: we want to get to her. But I just want

841
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: to say I think I hope our people do not

842
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 1: have to feel so much pain before being activated. I

843
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,919
Speaker 1: hope we can start paying more attention because I don't

844
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: feel good about letting by watching my people burn. And

845
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: there are people among us who are like, that's what

846
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: it's gonna take because we know.

847
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I hope that that's wrong.

848
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, because I hope it's wrong, because I feel like

849
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 6: our people if we if we stop looking at ourselves

850
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 6: in the microcosm of the moment, our people have suffered enough. Yes,

851
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 6: like I'm tired of the suffering. I want us to

852
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 6: experience abundant joy, not be worried about the scarcity of resources.

853
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,280
Speaker 6: We shouldn't have to keep suffering to prove a point,

854
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,479
Speaker 6: especially a point that we're not the ones trying to make.

855
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 6: And I think the thing that's so frustrating and yet

856
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 6: beautiful in this moment is we are forced to come

857
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 6: to terms with the fact that we are forever inextricably linked.

858
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,720
Speaker 6: Whether we're in the same cultural pocket and the same

859
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:57,760
Speaker 6: you know, zip code, the same.

860
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 4: Area code, what have you, we are inextric linked.

861
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 6: And so it is imperative that we begin to look

862
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 6: out for our neighbors in the same ways that we

863
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 6: do for ourselves, whether they are in the highest earning

864
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 6: bracket or the lowest earning bracket. We are inextricably linked.

865
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 6: That's just the bottom line. And when do you tend

866
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 6: with that one group?

867
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: They coming for you too. All these people are saying, oh, well,

868
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: they getting deported.

869
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 4: Who cares.

870
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: Listen, undocumented immigrants did not vote for this man. They

871
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: cannot vote. They are victims of this system like a

872
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: lot of other people. So I don't have I despite

873
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: paying taxes right right, they are paying classes.

874
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,879
Speaker 2: And their cousins and them who may have voted against them.

875
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,760
Speaker 2: It is not a sentiment unlike many folks who immigrate

876
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 2: to this country. They pull the ladder up behind them. Yeah,

877
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 2: and it's unfortunately. We can dig into that another time,

878
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 2: because I do think it is worth a deep dive

879
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 2: on why it is. The sentiment is what it is.

880
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 2: But the right has created all of this. They want

881
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 2: to look more right on the right, on the on

882
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 2: the political rights side.

883
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,240
Speaker 6: I think race has created all of this, because don't forget,

884
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 6: and I think race has created all of this. I

885
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 6: would love to blame the right, But unfortunately, even when

886
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 6: you listen.

887
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 4: To the rhetoric of our of people that we voted for.

888
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 6: Around the summertime, the rhetoric started sounding very very conservative

889
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 6: around the border and around immigration policy.

890
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: There's data behind that, so there was no uptick and

891
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 1: migrant crime, but the right introduced this, and so as

892
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: a result, members of the media and Democratic candidates mentioned

893
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: the border significantly more. I don't want to give the

894
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,280
Speaker 1: exact percentage, but it was something like eighty percent more

895
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 1: than they had. So the right is constantly driving the

896
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 1: narrative and that's a challenge. I know we want to

897
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 1: bring in Leslie and I want to get to this

898
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: conversation about leaders. I'll just tell you I think the

899
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 1: leader of the black folks is drum Roll. You gotta

900
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: watch the mini pod to find out.

901
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:02,720
Speaker 4: Drum Roll. Yeah, you shouldn't let that thing breeze.

902
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 6: So it was a good team. It was black anyway.

903
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 1: While while Leslie getting herself together, just give y'all two

904
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: minutes to go and vote for us on NAACP Image Awards.

905
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: You can vote to yes image words dot net. I

906
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: hope that's the right address. But find us and vote

907
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:23,439
Speaker 1: for us in masks please, and when we come back,

908
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: we will be joined by missus. Leslie Jones.

909
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right.

910
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: Joining the podcast now is author, comedian and somewhat of

911

Speaker 3: Yeah, I love your pot. I love your pot.

923
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 1: We appre you know, we out here trying to do

924
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 1: what we can in this in this chaos, and it's

925
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: so much happening, Leslie. And what I would have to

926
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: say what I appreciate about you is you have always

927
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: tried to use your platform to either a make people

928
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: laugh or B speak out about something. I love that

929
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 1: you center women and black women and a lot of

930
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 1: the things that you do and hold the line for us.

931
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 1: So we appreciate you for that. I think in this

932
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: time we talked a little bit about what do we do?

933
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 1: So many people are asking us all the time, what

934
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 1: do we do? And on the other side, so many

935
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,800
Speaker 1: people are checked out, like they're just like I can't

936
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,359
Speaker 1: it's too much happening. You know, I'm gonna binge something,

937
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stream something which uniquely puts entertainers in a spotlight.

938
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: So I'm curious what you think the role of Black

939
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 1: Hollywood is in this moment as we're facing assault on

940
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: every front, from our civil rights to our bodily autonomy,

941
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: to our finances to the very infrastructure of the country.

942
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:05,919
Speaker 1: What do you think the role of Black Hollywood is there?

943
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 3: Well, first, I feel like we need to realize what's

944
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 3: happening through each decade or it's that we're using less

945
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 3: and less percentage of our brain. Like there's no critical thinking,

946
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,760
Speaker 3: there's no like and you get that through reading books

947
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:27,280
Speaker 3: and Okay, it's hard to kind of say this without

948
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 3: I don't want to be offensive or whatever.

949
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 5: But speak the truth.

950
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 3: We had a crack erar you know what I'm saying.

951
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 3: We had There's there's kids that were born of that

952
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 3: that wasn't raised like us like to have boundaries and

953
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 3: critical thinking and think about it's we have to think

954
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 3: about where the mind state of where everybody is, not

955
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 3: just black people, white people, this society period. We are

956
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 3: in the complacent stage right now, Like people always ask like,

957
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 3: what do we do? What do we do. You know

958
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 3: what we have to do. Everybody knows what we have

959
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 3: to do. We just too complacent and we've paid for

960
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 3: our convenience with our democracy. You know what I'm saying,

961
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 3: We're not. No one's gonna stop watching Netflix, no one's

962
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 3: gonna stop ordering Amazon. And we could stop smoking cigarettes

963
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 3: for one week and shut shit down, but no one's

964
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 3: gonna do that, no one. No one's gonna take responsibility

965
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 3: for their role and what we have to do until

966
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 3: they actually take it serious. Because people still are on

967
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 3: that Oh they can't do that, Oh they can't make

968
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 3: that happen, but they are making that happen. And we're

969
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 3: sitting here not understanding that we hold that we hold

970
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 3: the key in our hand. It's us. Millionaires don't have

971
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 3: money unless we give them money, you know. And as

972
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:47,879
Speaker 3: black people, we're one of the biggest consumers of this

973
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 3: market and we just uneducated. Man Like I'm so, I'm sorry.

974
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 3: It really comes down to whenever I hear anyone say

975
00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 3: that they're racist or or they don't understand, you just

976
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 3: uneducated because DEI is very simple. No one's saying they're

977
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:09,320
Speaker 3: lowing expectations. They're saying they're opening it up to everyone,

978
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 3: not just to white people. And if you think that

979
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 3: black people or immigrants are taking your jobs, go look

980
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 3: at the test scores. No, it's your white friend that's

981
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 3: taken your job. So I'm sorry.

982
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 4: I was gonna ask you.

983
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 6: So one of the things that that tiff was getting

984
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 6: at is the role that you see entertainment playing in

985
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:30,760
Speaker 6: this particular moment.

986
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 4: We know in our history, whether we're.

987
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 6: Talking Harry Harry Belafonte to dig Gregory, entertainment entertainers have

988
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 6: always been an essential part of movement building. And you

989
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 6: brought up DEI, which for our audience, diversity, equity and inclusion.

990
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 4: Hollywood was one.

991
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 6: Of the first industries hit by folks saying you know what,

992
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 6: we actually are going to retract a little bit on

993
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 6: this whole DEI thing. So when you think about what

994
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:57,840
Speaker 6: the requirement is, what is your most reasonable service in

995
00:51:57,920 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 6: this time?

996
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 4: And that would you challengers to do?

997
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I challenge them to when they go on a set,

998
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 3: which is something I do. How many black people here

999
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 3: like you know, you know, you're not gonna give me

1000
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 3: favorite nations? That's what they want to use all of

1001
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 3: it because can't no white woman do my hair? I've

1002
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 3: had white hairdressers on set say to me, oh, I

1003
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 3: date a black guy and we have a kid, so

1004
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,359
Speaker 3: I know how to do black hair. What I've had

1005
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 3: a makeup artist said to me, Hey, I did Viola

1006
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:32,799
Speaker 3: Davis and Gabrielle, that bitch that has nothing to do

1007
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:35,800
Speaker 3: with me. You need to go and get that tone.

1008
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,359
Speaker 3: You need to go get my color tone because I'm

1009
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:42,879
Speaker 3: five shades darker than her and five shades lighter than her.

1010
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:46,319
Speaker 3: So what like? And I'm gonna tell you, you gonna get

1011
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,840
Speaker 3: labeled a bitch, but they gonna call you one anyway.

1012
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 3: I me myself. I don't like to look like a

1013
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 3: shiny ass bitch. When I was on SNL, we had

1014
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 3: a light in person that was like, like, put some

1015
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:03,799
Speaker 3: more light, and I would like, put some more light

1016
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 3: on me. This is a dark ass stage. I'm a

1017
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 3: black bitch. Put the light on me. No, And I'm

1018
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 3: very verbal. I'm very verbal. Oh I look shiny. No,

1019
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:16,919
Speaker 3: I look darker than what I am. Are you doing

1020
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 3: that on purpose? Are you trying to make me look dirty?

1021
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,319
Speaker 3: Or are you Is there a reason put some light

1022
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 3: on me?

1023
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 8: No.

1024
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 3: I had to learn that shit easy early too, because

1025
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 3: I'm a dark skinned person and if I wear any

1026
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 3: kind of light color, that shit flushes me out. So

1027
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 3: you have to speak up. Some people are scared to

1028
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:39,280
Speaker 3: speak up because again, we in this this industry that's like, oh,

1029
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 3: you know, she's how I have to work with whatever. Yeah,

1030
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 3: I'm difficult, Yeah, because I'm walking Leslie Jones and I

1031
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 3: This is what people need to understand in this business.

1032
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:53,959
Speaker 3: You are a business, that's right. You are a freelancer.

1033
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 3: When people ask you to work for them, that means

1034
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 3: that you are letting them have your surface is for

1035
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 3: a certain amount of time. In other words, if I

1036
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 3: have some tractors and you had a feel you are

1037
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 3: renting my tractors and you're using them to do your field.

1038
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 3: But mother, those are my tractors, and you know what

1039
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 3: you're not gonna do. You're not gonna mistred and mistreat

1040
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 3: my tractors either. You're gonna take care of them. And

1041
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 3: if you puck up my tractors, you're gonna pay for them.

1042
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 3: Do you get what I'm saying. So when you go

1043
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 3: on set and you see that, man, I say it

1044
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,319
Speaker 3: straight up. I already know when somebody can't do my

1045
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,799
Speaker 3: makeup as soon as they go to reach for a brush.

1046
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 3: I'll be like, you don't know what you're doing. I

1047
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 3: call my girl, you got you gotta you gotta force

1048
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 3: them to do it, because most people don't and they

1049
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 3: get away with it. But if you say something, they

1050
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,399
Speaker 3: can do something. I mean, I mean at least when

1051
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,400
Speaker 3: I do it. I don't know about everybody else. But

1052
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 3: when I speak up, Oh I have nappy hair, she

1053
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 3: can't do my hair. So I have a glam team

Speaker 6: I down to the glam and we love you for it.

1061
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 6: DA supports black businesses. I'm sure, Andrew, who is the

1062
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 6: real fam?

1063
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:16,280
Speaker 4: You for the culture?

1064
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:21,279
Speaker 2: No, I'm just sorry. No, I'm love I'm loving that

1065
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 2: you you broke it down like that, and more importantly,

1066
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 2: I'm loving you calling out the fact that your talent

1067
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 2: is a business, what you bring to the table. As

1068
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:36,280
Speaker 2: Jay Z says, I'm a business man, and I wonder

1069
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:41,879
Speaker 2: for you, Leslie, as you have increasingly become I don't

1070
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 2: know if it's become of you always been outspoken, because

1071
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 2: you know, I see you through the television screen and

1072
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 2: the movie theaters. But but I'm wondering, as you speak

1073
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 2: up and speak out in Hollywood, does it cost you? Yeah,

1074
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 2: because I think you you were getting at this. People

1075
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 2: don't want to be put in discomfort. They don't want

1076
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 2: to be inconvenience, which is why we're not choosing to

1077
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:07,479
Speaker 2: boycott certain industries because that would hit too close to home.

1078
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 2: Talk a moment, just about the fact that you're risking

1079
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 2: something if you are well, every time you choose to

1080
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:16,320
Speaker 2: step in the gap.

1081
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,839
Speaker 3: I'd rather risk that than the way. I mean, I'm

1082
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 3: older now. Maybe in my twenties and thirties, you know,

1083
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:24,960
Speaker 3: I would have been like, Yo, I'm down for this.

1084
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 3: Let's get this done because I'm trying to be in

1085
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 3: the hustle. But the older I get, the more I

1086
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:31,280
Speaker 3: think about my parents, more I think about my grandmother,

1087
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:34,360
Speaker 3: the more I think about us as a people like

1088
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 3: and as getting older, I just become so into me

1089
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 3: being a black woman. Like I stopped perming my hair

1090
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:45,799
Speaker 3: I started growing my I just didn't realize how beautiful

1091
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 3: black women really are until you really, like after SNL,

1092
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 3: I dug deep into like a black woman's soul, and

1093
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 3: it's so it was always there, you know, it was

1094
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 3: always there. So whenever I'm choosing stuff now, it don't

1095
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 3: don't be like I'm making a choice. It's just like, yo,

1096
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 3: this is what's happening, Like no that I can't do

1097
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 3: this because I feel like this. So, yes, I do

1098
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,360
Speaker 3: lose some things, but the good thing that I'm noticing

1099
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,959
Speaker 3: is that the people who do know that I'm good,

1100
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 3: and the people do that know what integrity and dignity is,

1101
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 3: they're starting to come back around it at because I'm

1102
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 3: good at what I do. That's why I have to

1103
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,920
Speaker 3: be super good at what I do. You I wouldn't

1104
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 3: be able to take a stance if I wasn't funny

1105
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 3: as trust and believe. So that's why we tell everybody

1106
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 3: have some foundation behind your you know't don't be the

1107
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 3: pig with the stick house. Be the pig with the bricks,

1108
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, So and be able to

1109
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 3: make more bricks, you know. So, yeah, I do know

1110
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 3: all that we're talking about prices.

1111
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 1: The price right, right. I appreciate that we're also talking

1112
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 1: about this boycott, right, a lot of things the boycott,

1113
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 1: and I think as this administration continues to sow chaos

1114
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:04,920
Speaker 1: and we see the role of the private sector and

1115
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 1: as they fund some of these really Dracronian initiatives, and

1116
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: who knows what else is coming down the pike. But

1117
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 1: a lot of us build audience on some of these platforms,

1118
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 1: for example Instagram, Facebook. For some people, you have a

1119
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 1: huge following on Instagram. Yeah, I used to, you know,

1120
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 1: watch your replays when it was about like Game of

1121
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 1: Thrones and all all the things that you do would

1122
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 1: go viral on Instagram. But this is owned by meta

1123
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg, who's a part we stream content on Amazon.

1124
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:35,880
Speaker 1: I'm just curious how you plan to navigate that space.

1125
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 1: You plan on keeping your Instagram and if you get off,

1126
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 1: like where is there to go? What are your thoughts?

1127
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 3: Well, Well, my thing too also is I'm a business

1128
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 3: person also, like you know, it's I can't I have

1129
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 3: to learn how to navigate a business too, But it

1130
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 3: also has to be what people want to Like, if

1131
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 3: people stop to win Instagram and you know, then I'm

1132
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 3: a fine somewhere else because I was doing that before

1133
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 3: Instagram and before TikTok and before Twitter, I still was

1134
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 3: out there. You know what I'm saying, We I think

1135
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:12,959
Speaker 3: we need to start start like trying to wane off

1136
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 3: that ship because it's not good for us anyway. You

1137
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, Like, it's it's just making unnecessary

1138
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 3: people like confamous that are really dangerous. You know. I

1139
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 3: think we're just so into this social media ship that.

1140
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1141
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 3: I just feel like if this wasn't around, we would

1142
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 3: still find a way to communicate with each other. I

1143
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 3: think we just have to put a little bit more

1144
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,560
Speaker 3: effort into it, and I would find a way. I mean,

1145
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 3: you know, now they got substacked, Now they got h

1146
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:51,360

1192
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 2: up on the rough side of the mountain advice, would

01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 2: you give what? What? How would you ease the soul,

1194

Speaker 2: the mind, the heart looking back on your troubles at

1195
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 2: the time and how how you got over You know.

1196
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 3: What's so crazy? First of all, I believe in God.

1197
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 3: I really do believe in a higher power. You know

1198
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. I don't know if I believe in

1199
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 3: the God that these people believe in. But when you

1200
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 3: get older, you do start developing a real relationship with

1201
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 3: him because you really do. Like there's times that come

1202
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:55,959
Speaker 3: the way you go, like I had a surgery and

1203
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 3: you know that type of stuff. People die you you know,

1204
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:02,280

Speaker 3: say you there, like are you there? And he has

1206
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 3: proven to me that he's there. So so that for

1207
01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 3: me is very important because then you just really hoping

1208
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 3: faith work in together. You know what I'm saying. But

1209
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 3: I would tell young folks, which I whish. I tell

1210
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 3: people all the time if I could quanetum leap to

1212
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:27,240
Speaker 3: going to help it the situation at all. It's just

1216
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 3: many moments in there where you know you having fun.

1217
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 3: I think back when I was broke, and the most

1218
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 3: fun thing I used to do was like I had

1219
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:49,439
Speaker 3: a cup on for l Polo Loko and I would

1220
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 3: go get me some chicken wings. I would give me

1221
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 3: some chicken wings and two chair rows and let me

1222
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 3: tell you something and go home and watch my favorite

1223
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 3: and I'm talking about joy. You have to find the

1224
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 3: little creases because that makes you human. Also disconnect like

1225
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:13,360
Speaker 3: I literally leave my phones now inside another room because

1226
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 3: you have beneath connect. You have to promise you will

1227
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 3: waste most of your life and go outside. Go outside,

1228
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 3: walk in the park, look at the sky, and let

1229
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:28,560
Speaker 3: me tell you something. And I tell young inst this

1230
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 3: all the time. If you do not appreciate where you are,

1231
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 3: you will not be given the next step. Until you appreciate,

1232
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:40,400
Speaker 3: you will not graduate. That's just it.

1233
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 2: That's a word.

1234
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:43,640
Speaker 1: You made me think of something. Andrew. This is gonna

Speaker 1: also white women comedians, and I know we have talked

1239
01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 1: about on this show, and I've been struggling with this

1240
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 1: question of the role of white women in our politics,

1241
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:06,479
Speaker 1: and so my attitude is kind of like, y'all, y'all

1242
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:08,880
Speaker 1: got it, y'all, y'all work it out amongst yourselves. I

1243
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 1: can't do it. But when you're in those spaces, Leslie

1244
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 1: as the sole black woman in an ensemble cast or

1245
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 1: on a show like SNL. Do you get into those

1246
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:21,360
Speaker 1: conversations and what would you say to white women who

1247
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:24,000
Speaker 1: are complaining about it? And maybe they voted right, but

1248
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:26,400
Speaker 1: they grandma voted for Trump, or maybe they group chat

1249
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 1: voted for Trump, or the assignment was to bring along

1250
01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:31,240
Speaker 1: your friends. How do you respond to them in this

1251
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 1: moment right now?

1252
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:34,160
Speaker 3: Girl? Girl, do you know how much trouble I used

1253
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:36,520
Speaker 3: to get into. I used to get into so much

1254
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 3: trouble because they would do things and I'd be like,

1255
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:42,120
Speaker 3: that's racist, Like I'm that person. I'd be like, Noah,

1256
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 3: that's racist, or a microaggression, like that's racist? What you

1257
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:47,680
Speaker 3: mean by that? Liken' I don't give about calling a

1258
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:50,560
Speaker 3: bit chy'at because like you, you can't fight me. So

1259
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 3: let's let's go like what did you mean by that?

1260
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 3: But what did you mean by that? But what did

1261
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 3: you mean by that? But like no, And then a

1262
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,480
Speaker 3: lot of white women do say things because they think

1263
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 3: that they're like, oh, I love when they say, well,

1264
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 3: I don't see color, and I'll be like, yes you do, bitch,

1265
01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 3: I said you see colors because your outfit is coordinated, right,

1266
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 3: And let me tell you something. You're gonna see my color, bitch,

1267
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:15,479
Speaker 3: because I'm a beautiful black alabast and if you don't

1268
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 3: see my tall then we have a motherfucking problem. So

1269
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 3: you gotta check them. Like the there's club owners that

1270
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:24,280
Speaker 3: own that are trumpers, and you gotta check them. You

1271
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:28,880
Speaker 3: gotta check them. You're wrong, You're freaking wrong, You're faking wrong.

1272
01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 3: There's a club that I don't go to because I'm not.

1273
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 3: I don't do this. I don't. You don't get to

1274
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:36,959
Speaker 3: have me. And then both the other way, you don't

1275
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,280
Speaker 3: get to have me, and then tell me that I

1276
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:42,440
Speaker 3: don't I'm a three fists of a person, or that

1277
01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:45,920
Speaker 3: I can't take care of my body, or I can't

1278
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 3: get the same pay as you. Now the fucking pay

1279
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 3: is the motherfucking pay.

1280
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and and.

1281
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:56,439
Speaker 3: And so I get in trouble all the time, son,

1282
01:06:56,880 --> 01:07:00,600
Speaker 3: Trust I get in trouble all the time. And oh

1283
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:02,800
Speaker 3: especially the white men. Because let me tell you something

1284
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 3: about white men, and I don't I'm gonna say this,

1285
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna be dumb, but I know every black

1286
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 3: woman will feel this. You need to understand that white

1287
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:12,640
Speaker 3: men have a different type of fear for black women

1288
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 3: because they was on the tit of our ancestors. We

1289
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 3: raised them, we're their discipline when we talk to a

1290
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:23,520
Speaker 3: white man. Have you ever just really honestly talked to

1291
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:25,920
Speaker 3: a white man and you could see him turning inside

1292
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:30,160
Speaker 3: because because they know we right, we we your mammy,

1293
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:34,520
Speaker 3: We your mammy. I took a switch to you. I

1294
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:37,840
Speaker 3: took a switch to your great granddaddy, like real talk,

1295
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:42,400
Speaker 3: like there's that connection there, it really is. And I

1296
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:46,040
Speaker 3: think that's their biggest fear is that if we get

1297
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:48,440
Speaker 3: in control, that we're gonna do the same thing that

1298
01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:51,080
Speaker 3: they did. But we we don't feel that way. We

1299
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:54,000
Speaker 3: are nurturing and race. And this is another thing. We

1300
01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:57,920
Speaker 3: don't want to erase them. They want to erase us.

1301
01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 3: That's the problem. We We know you want to go

1302
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:02,280
Speaker 3: ahead and survive, but leave.

1303
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 1: Us alone, right, leave us alone? Well, an, that's say

1304
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:15,800
