<v Speaker 1>goes with the second part of the show. Today we

0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:29.120
<v Speaker 1>are discussing the attacks on Kamala Harris. The first part

0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:31.480
<v Speaker 1>of the show, of course, the attacks from the right,

0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:33.360
<v Speaker 1>and this part of the show, we want you to

0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:35.279
<v Speaker 1>stick around because we are going to be discussing the

0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:40.000
<v Speaker 1>black attack on Kamala Harris. You may have encountered some

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 1>stuff online that seems like it's casting her in a

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 1>bad light, or she's like this awful person who's done

0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:46.640
<v Speaker 1>all these awful things black people, or has never been

0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:48.839
<v Speaker 1>present or is not black or whatever. We're gonna talk

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.320
<v Speaker 1>about all that today because we kind of have to.

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot at stake and it's really easy to

0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 1>get caught up in the algorithms and not do any research.

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:57.639
<v Speaker 1>So we've done the research for you. All you got

0:00:57.640 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 1>to do is sit back, relax and listen. But before

0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:02.000
<v Speaker 1>we get there, it is time to discuss ba ba

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>becoming a better ally baba. And today's Babba is sponsored

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 1>want to hit this one because you're the one to send.

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:20.360
<v Speaker 2>It over so one time. From Mesa, Arizona, the Republican

0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 2>mayor of the City of Mesa, Arizona, John Giles, has

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 2>announced he is endorsing Kamala Harris for president. Our party

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 2>used to stand for the belief that every Arizonian, no

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 2>matter their background or circumstances, should have the freedom, opportunity,

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:39.520
<v Speaker 2>and security to live out their American dream, Giles said,

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 2>But since Donald Trump refused to accept the outcome of

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 2>the twenty twenty election, Republicans have yet to course correct.

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 2>The Republican Party with Trump at its helm continues down

0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:54.400
<v Speaker 2>the path of political extremism, away from focusing on our

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 2>fundamental freedoms. In the spirit of the late Senator John

0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 2>McCain's motto, country First, I called on other Arizona Republicans

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 2>to join me in choosing country over party this election

0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:09.639
<v Speaker 2>and to vote against Donald Trump end quote.

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.799
<v Speaker 1>So that takes a lot of courage and a lot

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:17.400
<v Speaker 1>of bravery, and especially in Arizon publican white man in Arizona,

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>but we wanted to shout him out, and of course

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 1>we're on the radio in Arizona.

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 2>So our hope is that this makes its way.

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:27.400
<v Speaker 1>To him, because no matter what we do, share this country,

0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 1>and you know, folks that are objectively able.

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 2>To also damn in that. Shout out to white dudes

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 2>for Harris. They did great work, raised four million dollars.

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 2>Fox panel Jesse Water said, I heard the scientists say

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:44.200
<v Speaker 2>the other day that when a man votes for a woman,

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:50.919
<v Speaker 2>he actually transitions into a woman. A supposedly respected broadcast

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:54.520
<v Speaker 2>journalist said this on Fox unchecked with women present.

0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 1>It's the wildest timeline that we live in, man. But yeah,

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.280
<v Speaker 1>shout out to white dudes for Harris and John Kyles

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 1>all right, back to the lecture at hand. To quote

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 1>the illustrious, the most famous rapper in the world' snood.

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:13.600
<v Speaker 2>Dog, the philosopher, the great philosopher brought us talk to him.

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:14.359
<v Speaker 2>All right.

0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 1>So a lot of people are really happy about Kamala

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Harris's presidency. It has absolutely infused the Democrat Party with energy.

0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:31.680
<v Speaker 1>We've seen it on the ground. There's been just new energy.

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 1>But black people, I could say this because I'm real black,

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 1>ban to black, the blackest person you ever met.

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:43.640
<v Speaker 2>With navy black. You know what I'm saying.

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Black people, man, we're like, we're like kick puppies sometimes.

0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>What I mean when I say that, please, oh yeah, yeah,

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:59.240
<v Speaker 1>I got it. What I mean is like we fear

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 1>that everybody is out to get us, even if they're

0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>not right. You know, have you ever seen a puppy

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 1>that's been abused? They're just scared of everything, right, No,

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>not all of us, of course, But I understand where

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.320
<v Speaker 1>that comes from, right, you know, all skin folk and

0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:16.520
<v Speaker 1>kin folk. That's a real thing for us. We see

0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.200
<v Speaker 1>black people, we feel like they understand where we're coming from.

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:20.800
<v Speaker 1>And that's not always true. And we have to know

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>that there are Uncle Tom's there were black slavers, there

0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 1>were you know whatever. There's people that were campaigning and

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 1>stumping for Donald Trump. We met one the other day.

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 1>I won't say her name. But it doesn't mean that

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:46.800
<v Speaker 1>it's appropriate. It doesn't mean that it's just. It doesn't

0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:51.640
<v Speaker 1>mean that it's well founded. Our fears of black people

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:54.520
<v Speaker 1>that say that they're coming to help us out.

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 2>You know, we've fallen into this position of question everything,

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:02.240
<v Speaker 2>believe nothing. Right. Well, if you're going to question everything,

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 2>some of those answers should be impressed upon you. You

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 2>can't decide nothing, excuse me, nothing else.

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:16.840
<v Speaker 3>You can't decide nothing's true. Now here's where that becomes

0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:23.160
<v Speaker 3>extra problematic. We know that the people that listen to

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 3>this show tend to be the sort of people that

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.719
<v Speaker 3>look at black people, that look at Hispanic people, the

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:34.240
<v Speaker 3>look at perhaps the lgbtqia plus people, Asian people, native populations,

0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:38.039
<v Speaker 3>et cetera, as their brothers and sisters as extensions of

0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 3>their own family. Even right, the people that listen to

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 3>this show are the most likely to be allies of

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.680
<v Speaker 3>other communities, maybe even go out of their way to

0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 3>support someone who might be marginalized or disenfranchised.

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:57.799
<v Speaker 1>Right, But that leaves them vulnerable. Two, the very black

0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 1>people that have that sort of puppy syndrome. So if

0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 1>they're looking at these influencers on social media who are

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 1>very critical of Kamala Harris, and we know that the criticisms,

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe they're not baseless, but they're not well founded, and

0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:14.359
<v Speaker 1>they're not based in a shared reality, and they're not

0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 1>nearly as big a mountain as they make them out to.

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Me scholastically researched all of that, right, not fact checked,

0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:25.000
<v Speaker 2>but we recognize that there are people who could look

0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 2>at someone and by virtue of the fact that they

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.800
<v Speaker 2>are black and that they are close enough to the

0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:34.480
<v Speaker 2>conversation to be able to offer something incredibly.

0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 1>There it is and authenticity and there it is right.

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:41.599
<v Speaker 1>And so these black people who somehow are critical of

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Kamala Harris when she's running against Donald Trump have the

0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:49.359
<v Speaker 1>capacity to influence non black people who are looking to

0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 1>them for guidance. Listen, I want to vote the right way.

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:56.440
<v Speaker 1>I am a white, sixty year old woman in Middle America,

0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.159
<v Speaker 1>and I want to vote the right way. I don't

0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 1>believe that Donald Trump is going to be good for

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:04.240
<v Speaker 1>me or for the people that I love, my extended family,

0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:07.560
<v Speaker 1>my brothers and sisters from different tribes, right, And then

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.280
<v Speaker 1>they come across an influencer on social media, and this

0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 1>influencer says, Kamala Harris is the worst thing that ever

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.760
<v Speaker 1>happened to black people. She's locking up all the black people.

0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 1>And then that six year old white woman says, oh, no.

0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.320
<v Speaker 2>I might as well do what I've been doing. I

0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 2>might as well not vote, or I can't vote and

0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.160
<v Speaker 2>not participate, you know what I mean.

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.640
<v Speaker 1>And what we're here to do today is tell you

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:35.640
<v Speaker 1>how that kick puppy syndrome came about and really debunk

0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:37.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of what it is that they're using. Because

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that kick puppy syndrome. I don't want to

0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:45.000
<v Speaker 1>coin that phrase, but it's we're here now. That again,

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:49.720
<v Speaker 1>is the result of we could go back a few years,

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 1>we can go back one hundred years.

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:57.360
<v Speaker 2>We found it mistrust, well founded, abuse, found it consistent, abusistent,

0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:02.800
<v Speaker 2>lying to broken promises, franchise like, it's not for nothing.

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:08.200
<v Speaker 1>It comes from a place. But then and then here's

0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.960
<v Speaker 1>the other part. Obama was the president, and there are

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 1>some people that felt like when Obama became president that

0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:20.840
<v Speaker 1>he should have been what Donald Trump is now. He

0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:23.240
<v Speaker 1>should have been that for black people then, and if he.

0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Should have been what Donald Trump is now for white supremacy,

0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.400
<v Speaker 2>there you go. He should have been that for black people.

0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:34.199
<v Speaker 2>And there are people black people's causes, black people's well

0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.880
<v Speaker 2>being not just over the well being of everybody else,

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.720
<v Speaker 2>but in spite of make sure we're good forget everybody else,

0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 2>as if that's that's not a real thing.

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:47.960
<v Speaker 1>No decent human being would do that much less the

0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:51.319
<v Speaker 1>president of a country with three hundred and forty million

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:53.920
<v Speaker 1>I always forget the number, but three hundred some million people.

0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Except that frustration becomes well founded when you see Donald Trump.

0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.720
<v Speaker 2>One like Donald Trump become president and do exactly what

0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:03.840
<v Speaker 2>he did. People are like, yo, Barack, Yeah, whyyen do

0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:04.959
<v Speaker 2>that for us? Right?

0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.520
<v Speaker 1>And now that we know that it's possible. And they

0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:11.760
<v Speaker 1>look at a Kamala Harris, they think, well, you know,

0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 1>all skin folk and kim folk. She's black, you know,

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.400
<v Speaker 1>good for her, but I ain't voting for her.

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:18.920
<v Speaker 2>You know. And there's black women that say all this

0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:20.120
<v Speaker 2>kind of weird old stuff. Right.

0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.040
<v Speaker 1>So I hope you didn't miss the first part of

0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 1>the show, but if you did, we're gonna play some videos.

0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:31.960
<v Speaker 1>These videos come from influencers because we're fighting this battle

0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:35.640
<v Speaker 1>on the same battlefield as some of the social media

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.360
<v Speaker 1>algorithms that are serving up all this nonsense about Kamala Harris.

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:42.439
<v Speaker 1>We took some stuff from some influencers, we fact check those,

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.240
<v Speaker 1>and we have like you can bring it back to us.

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Qwan Rams is on Civic Cipher. If any of this

0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:51.079
<v Speaker 1>doesn't check out, we're here to tell you. So this

0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:57.800
<v Speaker 1>first video is it addresses a question did Kamala Harris

0:09:57.840 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>lock up thousands of black men?

0:09:59.320 --> 0:09:59.960
<v Speaker 2>So let's fly that one.

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:05.319
<v Speaker 4>Remember when Kamala Harris ran for president in twenty nineteen

0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:08.240
<v Speaker 4>and people were saying she was behind the incarceration of

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.080
<v Speaker 4>thousands of black people for non violent weed defenses. She

0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.120
<v Speaker 4>put over fifteen hundred people in jail for marijuana violations

0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 4>and then laughed about it when she was asked if

0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:19.360
<v Speaker 4>she ever smoked marijuana. Turns out the entire thing is

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.880
<v Speaker 4>a right wing lie. First off, where did the thousands

0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:23.720
<v Speaker 4>number come from? As far as we can tell, and

0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.160
<v Speaker 4>according to the AFP, the number comes from a Washington

0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:29.480
<v Speaker 4>Free Beacon article that said one thousand, five hundred and

0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:32.920
<v Speaker 4>sixty people were jailed in California between twenty eleven and

0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:36.680
<v Speaker 4>twenty sixteen, So during Harris's tenure, ask California ag for

0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:40.880
<v Speaker 4>nonviolent marijuana convictions. That article ceted data from the California

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:44.679
<v Speaker 4>Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, or the CDCR. When the

0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:47.679
<v Speaker 4>AFP contacted CDCR, they found out that this data was

0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:51.439
<v Speaker 4>for all inmates, not just black inmates. The CDCR said

0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:53.440
<v Speaker 4>there was no data that broke these inmates down by

0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:57.240
<v Speaker 4>ethnicity nor gender. Second, blackmails in jail made up roughly

0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.959
<v Speaker 4>the same amount before and after Hairs left the eight job. Third,

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:04.000
<v Speaker 4>to better understand Harris's views on non viout marijuana of fences,

0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.319
<v Speaker 4>we can look at her time as DA in San Francisco.

0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.720
<v Speaker 4>From two thousand and four to ten, there were one

0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:12.320
<v Speaker 4>nine hundred and fifty six marijuana convictions and just forty

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.040
<v Speaker 4>five of them resulted in jail time. Not to mention,

0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:17.240
<v Speaker 4>but she was also a champion of the Biden Harris

0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:20.520
<v Speaker 4>admin's pardons for federal weave convictions and the reclassification of

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.480
<v Speaker 4>lee as a less dangerous substance. I am in no

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:27.400
<v Speaker 4>way saying any all this data is particularly glowing for Harris,

0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:29.440
<v Speaker 4>but at least if you're going to judge her, judge

0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.400
<v Speaker 4>her on her true record and her full record.

0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Now I realize you probably didn't know that. And we

0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.480
<v Speaker 1>had to find that video because we've learned that video

0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:42.920
<v Speaker 1>along with like the do O Hughlee video.

0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:45.199
<v Speaker 2>You know, we learned this stuff, and we other creators

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.440
<v Speaker 2>who have come out to speak truth about some of

0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:49.760
<v Speaker 2>these lies that they helped spread the first time around,

0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:53.199
<v Speaker 2>first time out of black people, as Ramses said, fail

0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 2>for those lies when she was running for president, right,

0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:58.400
<v Speaker 2>And it's a thing. It happens.

0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.119
<v Speaker 1>We live in a world where it's just very confusing,

0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:05.400
<v Speaker 1>and now we live in a world where, like you've

0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.000
<v Speaker 1>seen the videos, the AI videos and stuff like that,

0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:09.839
<v Speaker 1>it's way worth the one that Elon mus shared and

0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:12.160
<v Speaker 1>all this sort of stuff. It's so convincing and it

0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:15.640
<v Speaker 1>feels like what a weird reality to live in.

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 2>We've faced similar misinformation with regards to vaccines. We had

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:25.599
<v Speaker 2>that similar fear because we seen the government or institutions

0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:29.120
<v Speaker 2>or people that we should trust experiment on us and

0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 2>use us as guinea pigs black people specifically test subjects.

0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.760
<v Speaker 2>Look up the Tuskegee experiments black people specifically. Yeah, So

0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:40.439
<v Speaker 2>things like that led us to be a bit apprehensive

0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:44.000
<v Speaker 2>and not so gung ho about, you know, jumping off

0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.720
<v Speaker 2>the portrait of vaccines. We had to help rid ourselves

0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:49.920
<v Speaker 2>of a lot of misinformation, just like we have to

0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:51.520
<v Speaker 2>do the same now. We have to be diligent.

0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.640
<v Speaker 1>So so IQ was saying this, and we're saying this

0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:56.719
<v Speaker 1>to say that if you happen to be one of

0:12:56.760 --> 0:13:01.520
<v Speaker 1>those people that thought that Kamala Harris locked up thousands

0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:05.440
<v Speaker 1>of black men and she was this spiteful, hateful, you

0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:12.080
<v Speaker 1>know whatever, then you could be forgiven for being subjected

0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 1>to external forces a lah algorithms and social media influence,

0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.600
<v Speaker 1>who themselves have been influenced by a right wing agenda

0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:21.480
<v Speaker 1>or a tear down smear campaign.

0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:23.319
<v Speaker 2>So what's cool to say I got it wrong? Man?

0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:26.480
<v Speaker 2>We have to Yeah, we can do it all the time.

0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:27.760
<v Speaker 2>We call it eating crow.

0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:34.360
<v Speaker 1>That's another term we got from young Shouty anyway, And

0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:37.120
<v Speaker 1>another thing I want to say here too, I recognize

0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:38.920
<v Speaker 1>that we are.

0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Taking the time to.

0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Dress up the Democrats messaging, and the Democrats really need

0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:52.200
<v Speaker 1>to do this themselves right, because you know how long

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:53.640
<v Speaker 1>it takes to do this hour show.

0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:57.560
<v Speaker 2>To her credit, however, she has been doing a much

0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:01.800
<v Speaker 2>better job than her in this little bit, this little week,

0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:04.520
<v Speaker 2>she's kind of taken the gloves off. We've been very

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:08.000
<v Speaker 2>very take the high road as they've just plundered us

0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.400
<v Speaker 2>on the low road. They lied and cheated and bullied,

0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:14.120
<v Speaker 2>and we just keep trying to be polite and respectful,

0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:17.360
<v Speaker 2>and at some point you have to fight back plainly.

0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:20.360
<v Speaker 2>And she's done a good job so far of at

0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 2>least starting to tread into those waters that we've been

0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:27.240
<v Speaker 2>too polite to step into. Yeah, that's very fair, But.

0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:35.040
<v Speaker 1>I recognize that this type of research you would expect.

0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:39.800
<v Speaker 1>You would expect the campaign to know what's being said,

0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:45.560
<v Speaker 1>identify the falsehoods, and then have some centralized messaging or

0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:47.880
<v Speaker 1>some marketing campaign to get the messaging out.

0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.520
<v Speaker 2>Another thing that makes that tough, though, is that political parties,

0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:54.600
<v Speaker 2>for all of our lives have used mass media to campaign.

0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:58.440
<v Speaker 2>When mass media lets one side of this discussion just

0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:00.920
<v Speaker 2>make I just almost curse because I get a little frush,

0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.840
<v Speaker 2>just make stuff up. It's hard for you to then

0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.440
<v Speaker 2>get back to your actual messaging because you've got to

0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.600
<v Speaker 2>try to refact check the lies that were just told

0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.480
<v Speaker 2>by the other side. So instead of carrying on about

0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:15.960
<v Speaker 2>all that you will do and have done. You just

0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:19.400
<v Speaker 2>end up running behind them to say that was false

0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.480
<v Speaker 2>and that was a lie, and I kind of think

0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:24.280
<v Speaker 2>that's intentional. Yeah. Yeah, so it's a mess.

0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:28.120
<v Speaker 1>But we're happy to help because we do believe that

0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Trump is perhaps the worst thing, and we always say

0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:33.480
<v Speaker 1>that because it's true every four years, and it does

0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 1>get worse every four years.

0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.080
<v Speaker 2>But man, I do not want to do this because

0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:40.440
<v Speaker 2>it's still him. Yeah, we're not being hyperbolic or trying

0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.800
<v Speaker 2>to build this false fear. Dude is really but repugnant.

0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:47.400
<v Speaker 2>Like he got some strength now, yeah, some legal strengths.

0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:50.880
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, a lot of other black people online, the

0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.840
<v Speaker 2>common thing that you hear is what has she done

0:15:54.200 --> 0:16:00.240
<v Speaker 2>for black people? And a valid question, but people asked

0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:04.240
<v Speaker 2>that question because they don't know what she's done for

0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:07.360
<v Speaker 2>black people, or they assume since they don't know, that

0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 2>she's done nothing for black people. And they've also taken

0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:13.920
<v Speaker 2>five seconds out of a twenty second response where they

0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:17.920
<v Speaker 2>cut out the words essentially forgive me if I'm miss quoting.

0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:21.000
<v Speaker 2>I can't do anything just for black people. But if

0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:23.520
<v Speaker 2>you listen to the entire quote, we'll have to find

0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.480
<v Speaker 2>it and post it on our socials. She speaks to

0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:31.760
<v Speaker 2>doing things for us. Two they made it seem like

0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:34.120
<v Speaker 2>she was saying she would not do things for us.

0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:37.120
<v Speaker 2>So these are things that you again and again that's intentional. Yeah.

0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:41.000
<v Speaker 1>And the amount of manipulation of like images and footage

0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.880
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that is wild. But anyway, we're gonna

0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.480
<v Speaker 1>approach with this next video. What has she done for

0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:47.040
<v Speaker 1>black people?

0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Hamlin Harris Heiny in the fact she's black? Howard University Alpha.

0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:54.680
<v Speaker 5>Chapter AKA, it's enough to get my attention, but it

0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:56.880
<v Speaker 5>ain't enough to get my vote on Skinfolk game, Kimfolk,

0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:58.600
<v Speaker 5>you bet check on record, and I did that and

0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:00.000
<v Speaker 5>I find out some things.

0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:00.880
<v Speaker 2>You do, Yo.

0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:03.720
<v Speaker 5>Kamlaris is almost exactly what you expect from a prosecutor

0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:05.560
<v Speaker 5>with the credentials I just mentioned. First off, you don't

0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:07.320
<v Speaker 5>even qualify to talk about her unless you heard about

0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:08.960
<v Speaker 5>back on Track. That's like trying to discuss jay Z

0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:11.680
<v Speaker 5>without hearing reasonable doubt. Back on Track was restorative justice

0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.000
<v Speaker 5>program for eighteen to twenty four year old first time

0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:16.399
<v Speaker 5>non violent, low level drug effics. Instead of jail or

0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:17.760
<v Speaker 5>a charge on the record, folks got sent in the

0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 5>boot camp where they got job rating. This training rental

0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.360
<v Speaker 5>training or the GED got connected with employees.

0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:24.360
<v Speaker 2>For careers, got their credit fixed. That's a pretty good deal,

0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm feeling would sell a ounce right. Nah, Okay, but for.

0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:29.200
<v Speaker 5>Real, most people graduated that program, student charges out like

0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:31.360
<v Speaker 5>it never happened. As DA of San Francisco, she made

0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:34.160
<v Speaker 5>social services help parents prodimpately and officially true kids.

0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Twitter told job she was streatening up with jail chap.

0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:38.399
<v Speaker 4>The most important issue for me really is that we

0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:39.600
<v Speaker 4>get these kids into school.

0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.120
<v Speaker 2>The goal is not to prosecute parents. It's to get

0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.000
<v Speaker 2>these children to go to school. We are not talking

0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:47.240
<v Speaker 2>about hooking and playing hooky. And frankly we all did okay.

0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:49.200
<v Speaker 5>Nah, they were missing forty to eighty days. That ain't hookie,

0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.640
<v Speaker 5>that's hiatus, and nobody went to jail. I checked since

0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.359
<v Speaker 5>he got them kids back in school and kept them

0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:55.440
<v Speaker 5>out of beencarceration in the grade. She also created re

0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:57.479
<v Speaker 5>entry initiatives with people in jail, we get out and

0:17:57.480 --> 0:17:59.719
<v Speaker 5>not go back and make it over twelve hundred domestic abuses,

0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:03.400
<v Speaker 5>the child molesters, rapists, and violent criminal transnational gangs got

0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:05.360
<v Speaker 5>twenty billion backs for Cali from the big banks out

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:07.560
<v Speaker 5>of the foreclosure crisis created silk rights division in Sam

0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:09.680
<v Speaker 5>Francisco DA's off. When she first got ins, threw the

0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:11.879
<v Speaker 5>charges out for the activist in the protests who got arrested.

0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:14.359
<v Speaker 5>Shoty your hero off Senator of no disrespect, not the

0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:16.920
<v Speaker 5>mission in conserration, weights for marijuana charges fell each year.

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:18.560
<v Speaker 5>She was a g So much for that theory about

0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:21.160
<v Speaker 5>her believe in the massive conserration. But Kamla Harrison, I'm excited.

0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:23.400
<v Speaker 5>I'm excited about the plans for government form and HBCU

0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:25.280
<v Speaker 5>with gyms. I'm excited about women's equal pay and the

0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:27.840
<v Speaker 5>return of consent decrease. I'm excited about black home ownership

0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:29.720
<v Speaker 5>and a black woman on the Supreme Court. I'm excited

0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:32.000
<v Speaker 5>about black businesses, women and a D nine step show

0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:34.520
<v Speaker 5>the day before inauguration, y'all know they having a step show,

0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:36.000
<v Speaker 5>and I'm gonna be there too, with an eight dollars

0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:37.760
<v Speaker 5>fish plate and some Mambo sauce. At the end of

0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:39.720
<v Speaker 5>the day, she the strongest and most prepared and exactly

0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:41.439
<v Speaker 5>what American need right now, and I look forward to

0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:43.480
<v Speaker 5>seeing her stroll into the White House in twenty twenty one.

0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:45.919
<v Speaker 5>That's the ak Joe Hope sha'll make academy members probate.

0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:47.520
<v Speaker 5>Though now I say four to eight years the D

0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:49.439
<v Speaker 5>nine jokes are gonna be hilarious. I still ain't been

0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:51.520
<v Speaker 5>the same. So somebody said she's gonna put aka tags

0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:52.400
<v Speaker 5>in the back of the Air Force.

0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:58.480
<v Speaker 1>One shout out to the Skiwez one time.

0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:05.359
<v Speaker 2>And real quick before we move on. Was up that video,

0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:07.760
<v Speaker 2>And it's important to say this this way because I've

0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:10.040
<v Speaker 2>tried to find it the other way and it's very difficult.

0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:14.240
<v Speaker 2>It's posted on TikTok by at underscore Leak l e

0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:18.480
<v Speaker 2>e K underscore C. When you get to his page,

0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:21.440
<v Speaker 2>he's going to angrily tell you to stop telling him

0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:24.200
<v Speaker 2>thank you for that video because it was a video

0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:27.800
<v Speaker 2>posted by Drew Comments. Except if you go to Drew

0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:30.919
<v Speaker 2>Comments and that's Drew d R e W Comments the

0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:33.880
<v Speaker 2>way that it sounds, you won't be able to find

0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:36.800
<v Speaker 2>or at least we couldn't find that video on his page.

0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:41.120
<v Speaker 2>So it's Drew Comments but posted by at underscore l

0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:43.440
<v Speaker 2>e e K Underscore C.

0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:47.919
<v Speaker 1>So one of the things that I feel it's important

0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:52.240
<v Speaker 1>to mention right now is that, uh, you know what

0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:54.280
<v Speaker 1>he was talking about Whenkama Harris throughout the charges for

0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:58.680
<v Speaker 1>the protesters. That is something that flies in the face

0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:01.520
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of like active this narratives with respect

0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:05.000
<v Speaker 1>to Kamala Harris. And I understand that because you know,

0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:09.480
<v Speaker 1>we around here, we are the real activist, right, We

0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:13.760
<v Speaker 1>don't just be in the studio. We get out there

0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:19.000
<v Speaker 1>and you know there's something there, you know what I mean.

0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:21.119
<v Speaker 1>And now again we're not saying Kamala Harris is a

0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:26.240
<v Speaker 1>perfect candidate, but by comparison, you know, it's you know

0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:28.960
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, And then everyone is just dead set

0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:30.240
<v Speaker 1>on tearing people down.

0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:32.919
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know your boy said that in ABJ that

0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:36.600
<v Speaker 2>she's not black, So let's talk about that. Actually, you

0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:40.480
<v Speaker 2>want to take this one from Time magazine. I don't

0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:44.000
<v Speaker 2>even want to take it, but sure, right, Harris is

0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:47.040
<v Speaker 2>not black. That's the claim from Time magazine that time. Rather,

0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:50.240
<v Speaker 2>this is the same Time magazine article debunking a lot

0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:52.959
<v Speaker 2>of facts about Kamala Harris. So go ahead. The claim

0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:56.679
<v Speaker 2>is that Harris is not black. The facts this is false.

0:20:57.240 --> 0:21:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Harris is black and Indian. Her father, Ronald Harris, as

0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:04.840
<v Speaker 2>a black man who was born in Jamaica. Shayamala Gopelan,

0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:08.679
<v Speaker 2>her mother was born in southern India. Now people listening

0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:12.520
<v Speaker 2>might say, well, that's Jamaican and Indian, that's not black,

0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:16.160
<v Speaker 2>And I'm so glad you said so, because when race

0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:19.800
<v Speaker 2>was constructed in this country, there was a very intentional

0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:24.719
<v Speaker 2>point of emphasis, the one drop rule, so that they

0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:28.679
<v Speaker 2>can consider you a subclass. If you had one drop

0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:33.160
<v Speaker 2>of black blood anyone from the African diaspora, you were black. Okay,

0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:35.720
<v Speaker 2>So don't try to unblack her now because it fits

0:21:35.720 --> 0:21:37.119
<v Speaker 2>this narrative you're trying to push.

0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:40.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna take it one better. So my sister's husband,

0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:43.800
<v Speaker 1>he's Jamaican, right, his name is Jim Jirell, but he

0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:46.520
<v Speaker 1>was born in the United States of America, so he

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:50.040
<v Speaker 1>is African of African descent more immediate born in the

0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:52.320
<v Speaker 1>United States of America. So guess what he has African

0:21:52.320 --> 0:21:55.399
<v Speaker 1>American experience, right, same is true with Kamala Harris, who

0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:56.200
<v Speaker 1>was born where.

0:21:56.440 --> 0:22:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Oakon, California, Alpha Chapter aka Howard University watched d All.

0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Right, that's gonna do it for us for right now

0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:06.159
<v Speaker 1>on civic cypher. Of course, we could go on and

0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:08.000
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot that we left on the table, but

0:22:08.080 --> 0:22:09.960
