1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,000 Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning. 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 2: Sam, Well, we've all been watching the news over the weekend, 3 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 2: just aghast at what's happening in the United States. What began, 4 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,319 Speaker 2: as I think a very justifiable protest over the death 5 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,279 Speaker 2: of George Floyd. I can't watch the footage, but a 6 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,479 Speaker 2: police officer with his knee on this man's neck murdering 7 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 2: him in broad dayline. People saying you got to stop. 8 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 1: He's saying I can't breathe. 9 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 2: I can't breathe. Three other policemen looking on, and the 10 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,319 Speaker 2: Minnesota police because they shot the Australian girl. Remember that 11 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 2: crazy comed just shot the girl, you know, because she 12 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 2: was she'd reported that there had been a break in 13 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 2: and he shot her. Well, then this has erupted with 14 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 2: all kinds of things. I mean, at the moment, America 15 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 2: is the perfect storm, this tinder box of unemployment, economic issues, 16 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: anger at having to live through isolation, with a pandemic, 17 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 2: a divisive president, race rights. You scratch the surface and wow, 18 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 2: just extraordinary. As we speak, twenty five cities in the 19 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 2: United States are under curfew. It's the footage. Did you 20 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 2: see the NYPD van running people over and in Minnesota 21 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 2: in some of these places, they've actually deployed the National 22 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 2: Guard giant armored tanks through the suburban streets in scenes 23 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 2: we haven't seen since World War Two. Unbelievable. But I 24 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 2: saw this footage on the weekend. I sobbed as I 25 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 2: watched it. It's very inspiring. This is the mayor of Atlanta, 26 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 2: Keisha Lands Bottoms, and we can't understand what it is 27 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: like to live in a country where the color of 28 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 2: your skin determines how you are treated every day. Of course, 29 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 2: we understand this well. We have indigenous people. We say 30 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 2: the same thing. We are also labeled as a racist nation. 31 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 2: But listen to the power of her speech. 32 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,279 Speaker 1: Above everything else. I am a mother to four black 33 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,279 Speaker 1: children in America, one of whom is eighteen years old, 34 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: and when I saw the murder of George Floyd, I 35 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: hurt like a mother would hurt. And on yesterday, when 36 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: I heard there were rumors about violent protests in Atlanta, 37 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: I did what a mother would do. I called my 38 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: son and I said, where are you? I said, I 39 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: cannot protect you, and black boys shouldn't be out today. 40 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: So what I see happening on the streets of Atlanta 41 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: is not Atlanta This is not a protest. This is 42 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: not in the spirit of Martin Luther King Junior. This 43 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 1: is chaos. You're not honoring the legacy of Martin Luther 44 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: King Junior and the civil rights movement. You're not protesting anything, 45 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: running out with brown liquor in your hands, breaking windows 46 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: in this city. T I and Killer Mike own half 47 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: the West Side. So when you burn down this city, 48 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: you're burning down our community. If you want change in America, 49 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: go and register to vote, show up at the polls 50 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: on June ninth, do it in November. That is a 51 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: change we need in this country. You are disgracing in 52 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: our city. You are disgracing the life of George Floyd 53 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: and every other person who has been killed in this country. 54 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: We are better than this. We're better than this as 55 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: a city. We are better than this as a country. 56 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: Go home, Go home. 57 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 2: Saying that where's the president? Where's the President's addressed to 58 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,839 Speaker 2: the nation. You know, I don't know how they come 59 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 2: out of this, I really don't. I've never been more 60 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 2: grateful for being astriking. Absolutely join the. 61 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: And Amanda Morning with him.
