- 6:02Speaker 4: a Boeing six, like stuff like that.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Oh.
- 6:04Speaker 4: And it's kind of weird because like all day long
- 6:08Speaker 4: news is in my brain. Like what happened to that story? Like,
- 6:11Speaker 4: you know, what I've been thinking a lot about. not
- 6:13Speaker 4: to sidetrack, is last year a woman was killed in
- 6:16Speaker 4: the projects and they found her body down the chute.
- 6:19Speaker 1: Yes.

- 6:22Speaker 4: When was it like, that's my brain.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Wow.

- 6:26Speaker 1: Yo, that's dope as shit. She's like a superhero for real.
- 6:29Speaker 1: You're really a superhero. This is like one of those stories. No,
- 6:32Speaker 1: it's far though.
- 6:33Speaker 4: Like, And it's so funny, like even, which is so
- 6:36Speaker 4: weird because like about 10 years ago, 10 years ago,
- 6:40Speaker 4: a little boy was taken into the water in Disney
- 6:42Speaker 4: World by alligator. Y'all remember that?
- 6:44Speaker 1: Yes.
- 6:45Speaker 4: So I was like, what happened to them? His family
- 6:48Speaker 4: started a foundation. They celebrated the 10 year anniversary. They're
- 6:51Speaker 4: doing all this stuff. And it was just like, you know,
- 6:53Speaker 4: all day long, little stories just.
- 6:55Speaker 5: See, remember I was talking about forefront. Keeping things at
- 6:59Speaker 5: the forefront.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Well, you and I met as you were covering Disney.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Coco Fest. Okay. I was pulling up. You're dirty. Let
- 7:09Speaker 1: me tell you how I'm treating me.
- 7:10Speaker 5: I'm so wicked.
- 7:11Speaker 1: You see that boy there? Let me tell you what.
- 7:14Speaker 2: Man, that was quick.
- 7:17Speaker 4: Are you the one with the coconut water, coconut drink?
- 7:20Speaker 1: Pineapple.
- 7:21Speaker 3: Pineapple.
- 7:21Speaker 1: Let me tell you something.
- 7:23Speaker 4: Coco Fest is ran by a really good friend of mine.
- 7:28Speaker 4: And I told her, I said, yeah, you know, I'm
- 7:30Speaker 4: going to go do some stuff. So I got there
- 7:31Speaker 4: to get some before Coco. And I was like, oh,
- 7:34Speaker 4: would you like to tell me?
- 7:35Speaker 1: I don't know him. He don't know me.
- 7:36Speaker 4: Would you like to tell me about your organization? I'm
- 7:39Speaker 4: busy right now. I can't be handling that stuff.
- 7:41Speaker 1: I said, no.
- 7:43Speaker 4: And the whole night, they might even come back and say, listen, B,
- 7:46Speaker 4: I'm sorry. This man, I'm kind of tired. I'm just
- 7:49Speaker 4: going with him.
- 7:50Speaker 1: I told her all night. That's not true.
- 7:53Speaker 5: You pissed her off and she got that whole accent
- 7:55Speaker 5: on that.
- 7:55Speaker 1: So what happened is, I was rude. I was absolutely rude.
- 7:58Speaker 1: And I did apologize later. You probably don't remember. It
- 8:01Speaker 1: wasn't news for you.
- 8:02Speaker 2: What happened was, it wasn't newsworthy.
- 8:05Speaker 1: What happened was she has her stand with her thing
- 8:09Speaker 1: and she's doing interviews with the people that I help
- 8:12Speaker 1: to do the thing. But I'm late. I got to
- 8:14Speaker 1: pull the thing in. I got 500 cases of pineapples.
- 8:17Speaker 1: I got to set up. I got the drinks I
- 8:19Speaker 1: got to make. And she's literally, her stand is right
- 8:21Speaker 1: in the middle of the thing. So I'm like, miss,
- 8:22Speaker 1: I got to move. She's like, no, I was trying
- 8:24Speaker 1: to get an interview. And I'm like, I can't do
- 8:27Speaker 1: that right now. and I sort of look at her
- 8:30Speaker 1: when she gave it to me like and I was
- 8:31Speaker 1: like yeah that was tough how I did that I
- 8:34Speaker 1: knew it was tough so when I saw her I
- 8:36Speaker 1: don't remember where I saw her I was like yo

- 8:42Speaker 1: she was like nigga I don't care.
- 8:43Speaker 5: About that don't worry about it fuck you and your
- 8:45Speaker 5: pineapples at this.

- 9:09Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Well, I do want to say that since then,
- 9:14Speaker 1: I saw you on the internet, became a fan of
- 9:16Speaker 1: your content. I always make sure I press the little
- 9:18Speaker 1: repost when you post. I love the things that you
- 9:21Speaker 1: speak about. And this is... As of late, you've been
- 9:26Speaker 1: speaking about the bustlings, but I've seen you cover a
- 9:29Speaker 1: multitude since the summertime of important issues in politics, specifically
- 9:33Speaker 1: here in Brooklyn. So please tell us what you do
- 9:37Speaker 1: and the things. I came here to give my platform
- 9:40Speaker 1: to you.
- 9:41Speaker 4: I appreciate it. Thank you so much. When I got
- 9:43Speaker 4: the email, I was like, who me? So I appreciate it.
- 9:46Speaker 4: And I've been a journalist my entire career. I've done
- 9:50Speaker 4: other things, but I've been a journalist for, I've worked
- 9:53Speaker 4: at Fox, I've worked at Good day, New York, all
- 9:55Speaker 4: these other places. And my last stint was at a university.
- 9:59Speaker 4: I was teaching journalism.
- 10:00Speaker 1: And then when I.
- 10:01Speaker 4: Quit, I was like, I need to stay sharp. Like,
- 10:04Speaker 4: cause this is the only thing I know. I really
- 10:06Speaker 4: don't know anything else. I do other things, but this
- 10:08Speaker 4: is my passion. So I called up my local paper,
- 10:11Speaker 4: the Canarsie Curry. And I was like, Um, I just
- 10:14Speaker 4: want to write because I want to stay sharp. They
- 10:16Speaker 4: hired me the same day. They looked at my resume,
- 10:18Speaker 4: you know, I was like, good. And I've just been
- 10:20Speaker 4: writing ever since. And then I was like, you know,
- 10:22Speaker 4: I really want to go back into the industry, but
- 10:24Speaker 4: I need to build my own platform. I don't want
- 10:27Speaker 4: to work for any other network. I don't want you
- 10:29Speaker 4: telling me what to cover. I don't want you to
- 10:31Speaker 4: tell me my nails are too long. So I was like,
- 10:33Speaker 4: you know what? Let me do this for myself. And
- 10:35Speaker 4: also my friends were so sick of me talking about
- 10:37Speaker 4: the news.
- 10:38Speaker 1: Yeah. Did you see this?
- 10:39Speaker 5: Did you see that?
- 10:39Speaker 1: Did you hear?
- 10:40Speaker 4: I mean, I literally watch my phone 24 hours a
- 10:44Speaker 4: day and I'm never going to change. And they'll be like,
- 10:46Speaker 4: you know, that's a lot right now. You know, I'm
- 10:48Speaker 4: sorry that she murdered her kids and, you know, but
- 10:52Speaker 4: I can't.
- 10:52Speaker 1: I'm having breakfast. I was like, you know what?
- 10:55Speaker 4: And then I went on TikTok and they were like, yes,
- 10:58Speaker 4: I didn't know. And it just kind of grew from there.
- 11:00Speaker 4: So that's how I got here today.
- 11:02Speaker 1: Yeah. I love it. And you actually speak to things
- 11:06Speaker 1: that I speak about all the time. The way, first
- 11:08Speaker 1: of all, our community has been changing for the last
- 11:12Speaker 1: 20 something years. I remember the first time I saw
- 11:15Speaker 1: a white person standing on gates of no strength. I
- 11:18Speaker 1: was selling crack and I looked across the street and
- 11:20Speaker 1: I stopped mid crack. Right. And I was like.
- 11:25Speaker 4: Why are you here?
- 11:26Speaker 1: What the fuck is that?
- 11:28Speaker 2: You was what?
- 11:29Speaker 1: It was 20 something years ago. I have since changed
- 11:32Speaker 1: my life. It was right outside the Carter. The Carter
- 11:37Speaker 1: was right there.
- 11:38Speaker 5: The statute of limitations is over.
- 11:39Speaker 1: Oh, I went to jail for it.
- 11:41Speaker 4: Oh, so you are.
- 11:42Speaker 5: Debt paid to the society.
- 11:45Speaker 1: I've changed my, I've done a complete 180. I denounced
- 11:49Speaker 1: my old ways. Okay. And I moved forward and dedicated myself,
- 11:54Speaker 1: hence why I have news to be here, to helping
- 11:57Speaker 1: my community and my people. You like the way I
- 12:00Speaker 1: do that? Yeah, that was smooth.
- 12:03Speaker 5: That was great.
- 12:04Speaker 1: With the midterms coming next week, we hear a lot
- 12:07Speaker 1: of talk about the presidency and the House and the Senate.
- 12:12Speaker 1: But there's all types of other things that's happening. There
- 12:15Speaker 1: are elections right here in our neighborhoods that are happening,
- 12:19Speaker 1: and we never vote for them. You know who comes
- 12:21Speaker 1: in and moves in and votes for what's happening on
- 12:23Speaker 1: your block? Them people, them. How you say it?
- 12:26Speaker 4: Them over there, so.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Them over there, so. They come in here, and the
- 12:30Speaker 1: next thing you know, you got a bike lane in
- 12:32Speaker 1: the middle of your landmark block, and then people running
- 12:36Speaker 1: down on their city bikes, and you're like, what the
- 12:39Speaker 1: fuck happened? Yeah, it was a memorandum. It was on
- 12:42Speaker 1: the back of your fucking voting thing. And you said yes. Right.
- 12:46Speaker 1: But you didn't study it.
- 12:48Speaker 4: Right.
- 12:48Speaker 1: And you never went to the city council meeting. You
- 12:51Speaker 1: didn't speak to none of your people, the people them.
- 12:53Speaker 1: What do you call the people them? The borough, the president.
- 12:56Speaker 5: Councilmen. Councilwomen.
- 12:58Speaker 1: The people them. Right? People them. People them. So, as
- 13:04Speaker 1: of late, and this started for me, you know, my
- 13:07Speaker 1: lady lives in the Bronx. I'm good. Yes.
- 13:10Speaker 2: Right.
- 13:11Speaker 1: She did not get Bronx.
- 13:12Speaker 2: I had to pause right there.
- 13:12Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 13:12Speaker 4: It hurts.
- 13:13Speaker 1: It hurts.
- 13:13Speaker 6: Wow. It hurts.
- 13:14Speaker 1: She did not get Bronx. You went to another borough?
- 13:16Speaker 1: I respect people for all their lives.
- 13:17Speaker 4: You couldn't even go to Queens?
- 13:18Speaker 1: She's black.
- 13:19Speaker 2: Terrible atrocity.
- 13:19Speaker 1: You couldn't even go to Queens. No, but she's fire.
- 13:21Speaker 1: We love her.
- 13:21Speaker 5: We love wifey.
- 13:22Speaker 1: Yeah, you do to me on the show.
- 13:24Speaker 2: You know she here.
- 13:24Speaker 1: We love wifey. We know Brooklyn and Bronx. The queen
- 13:27Speaker 1: is the queen. You're right. No, you're right. You're right.
- 13:30Speaker 1: I violated. I say this all the time. I violated
- 13:33Speaker 1: by being up here. I tell you that all the time.
- 13:34Speaker 1: You don't understand the sacrifice I'm making. I'm walking around
- 13:37Speaker 1: in the Bronx. This is not a thing for us.
- 13:40Speaker 2: It's a major sacrifice.
- 13:41Speaker 5: Yeah, we don't go over there. That's like the shadowy
- 13:43Speaker 5: place in the Lion King.
- 13:44Speaker 1: It is.
- 13:45Speaker 4: And they don't come down here. It's a known cultural thing.
- 13:51Speaker 1: I tried to tell you. I thought I was hating it.
- 13:52Speaker 5: But she never gave Bronx to me. She always was
- 13:54Speaker 5: a Brooklyn girl.
- 13:54Speaker 1: I always thought. There you go.
- 13:57Speaker 4: I'm glad I'm here because he's got engagement.
- 14:02Speaker 1: That means I'm going to the wedding. Yes. Go ahead.
- 14:04Speaker 1: We were just talking about that. You coming? It's news?
- 14:06Speaker 1: You ain't got to ask me twice.
- 14:07Speaker 2: That's news?
- 14:08Speaker 1: Whatever you want it to be, I'll be there.
- 14:09Speaker 2: All right.
- 14:10Speaker 1: All right. So what I noticed on Gun Hill Road
- 14:14Speaker 1: in the Bronx is they took this fucking two lane
- 14:17Speaker 1: street and they put a The island. The island in
- 14:22Speaker 1: the middle of the damn street. And they forced the
- 14:24Speaker 1: cars up alongside the curb. The people got to walk
- 14:28Speaker 1: past the cars into the island to wait for the
- 14:32Speaker 1: bus in the middle of the street. And now you
- 14:35Speaker 1: can't park. You hungry. You want to get a hero.
- 14:38Speaker 1: You can't park there because this is the only place
- 14:40Speaker 1: for the cars to go. Yep.
- 14:42Speaker 5: We got that in Brooklyn now.
- 14:43Speaker 1: So you start seeing the shops closing. You're like, the
- 14:48Speaker 1: Chinese people didn't... You know what happened? Oh, no. We
- 14:51Speaker 1: moved over here to this other place because we can't get...
- 14:55Speaker 1: There's no foot traffic. No foot traffic. There's no cars stopping.
- 14:58Speaker 1: And they started doing that here in Brooklyn. Yep. They
- 15:01Speaker 1: started it on Flatbush. And I didn't... Me not realizing, obviously,
- 15:07Speaker 1: I didn't see the plans because I don't think they
- 15:09Speaker 1: make them so readily available for everybody unless you go
- 15:12Speaker 1: in and you check them out at the city council meeting.
- 15:15Speaker 1: That shit running from downtown all the way into fucking
- 15:19Speaker 1: Case Plaza. All the way.
- 15:21Speaker 5: All the way.
- 15:22Speaker 1: News With B has been covering that. What exactly is
- 15:25Speaker 1: happening with that? And then we can move on into
- 15:27Speaker 1: other things.
- 15:27Speaker 5: Yes, please give the full rundown on that.
- 15:29Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's called Rapid Bus Lanes. And it was
- 15:33Speaker 4: something that was actually brought through by Bloomberg. And then,
- 15:37Speaker 4: you know, different change in offices. And finally, Mamdani is
- 15:42Speaker 4: pushing it through. So the mayor does have the right
- 15:44Speaker 4: to say we will delay a project. We will, you know,
- 15:48Speaker 4: probably not push this product project, but, um, according to sources,
- 15:52Speaker 4: one of his major donors who believes in the 20
- 15:55Speaker 4: minute city, which is like a France, a Paris, a London,
- 15:58Speaker 4: you come out, you walk, you catch your back, you know,
- 16:01Speaker 4: you get a bagel, this, that, whatever is really the
- 16:03Speaker 4: one that influenced him to push this agenda forward. So
- 16:07Speaker 4: what it does is that it makes cars go, um,
- 16:10Speaker 4: on either side, but you can't stop. And the bus
- 16:13Speaker 4: is in the middle. That's why they consider it rapid. Um,
- 16:15Speaker 4: But we had a protest and a rally and a
- 16:18Speaker 4: press conference yesterday in front of Barclays. It is not working.
- 16:22Speaker 4: So we want them to come back to the table,
- 16:25Speaker 4: look at it and see where it's not working. If
- 16:27Speaker 4: you guys had not known just this week, Wednesday, October 20th,
- 16:32Speaker 4: I believe. There was an accident. The EMS can't get through.
- 16:37Speaker 4: Different people can't get through. And number one, you cannot
- 16:40Speaker 4: stop to grab anything. And that's a part of our culture.
- 16:42Speaker 4: So a lot of these billionaires, they have these big
- 16:45Speaker 4: ideas and they want to implement it because they're going
- 16:48Speaker 4: to make money from it. City Bikes is owned by Lyft.
- 16:52Speaker 4: And depending on where you are, if you're in a...
- 16:55Speaker 4: black or brown community, you're going to pay more because
- 16:57Speaker 4: that's how they have it set up. And then they
- 16:59Speaker 4: slow down the bikes so that you take your on
- 17:02Speaker 4: it longer. So you're getting more money from it.
- 17:05Speaker 1: Oh.
- 17:05Speaker 4: And unfortunately in New York, because we have so many
- 17:09Speaker 4: leaders that are paid off, um, For example, in D.C., D.C.
- 17:14Speaker 4: manages the money from Citi Bike. In New York, Lyft
- 17:18Speaker 4: manages the money from Citi Bike. So there's already a
- 17:21Speaker 4: way that we're not going to win. And unfortunately, they
- 17:24Speaker 4: did a survey of 163 people, and that's what they're
- 17:28Speaker 4: telling us how they're going to move forward. You can't
- 17:30Speaker 4: do less than 1% of the population and think that
- 17:34Speaker 4: you can move forward. So the goal at the end
- 17:36Speaker 4: of the day with Renoso, our Brooklyn Borough President, A
- 17:40Speaker 4: lot of the billionaires and leaders of MTA is they
- 17:44Speaker 4: want us to have a 15, 20 minute city where
- 17:46Speaker 4: you walk everywhere, where everything is super accessible, but it
- 17:50Speaker 4: displaces drivers full stop.
- 17:53Speaker 1: Yeah, they hate the drivers now. Rob Markman They hate
- 17:55Speaker 1: the drive. They started that. When they put a bus
- 17:58Speaker 1: lane up Notion Avenue, I said, well, what the shit
- 18:01Speaker 1: is this? How does this even make sense on a
- 18:05Speaker 1: street as busy as Notion Avenue? And to anybody that's
- 18:08Speaker 1: out there that doesn't know in Brooklyn, give us a second.
- 18:11Speaker 1: We're talking about your town, too, because the gentrifying happened everywhere.
- 18:15Speaker 1: It's happened in Atlanta. It's happened in Chicago. It's happened everywhere.
- 18:17Speaker 1: But we're talking about, say, your Martin Luther King Boulevard
- 18:21Speaker 1: or your Broadway. And they take a lane away where
- 18:23Speaker 1: there's two lanes for you to get to where you go.
- 18:25Speaker 1: And they put one where only buses can go and
- 18:28Speaker 1: the rest, your single file. Now, that single file is
- 18:33Speaker 1: up against the sidewalk. So when you want to stop
- 18:36Speaker 1: and get a beef patty with cocoa bread and cheese,
- 18:38Speaker 1: you got to pull off the strip, go up a
- 18:40Speaker 1: private block, park in the middle of nowhere, walk back around.
- 18:43Speaker 1: Nobody's doing that. Guess what happens to the dude, to
- 18:45Speaker 1: the Jamaican man that's been there for 34 years? His
- 18:48Speaker 1: business not getting the traffic that it was getting no more.
- 18:50Speaker 5: That part.
- 18:51Speaker 7: So B, my only question, because I didn't know about
- 18:55Speaker 7: everything that was happening, like the council meetings and all that,
- 18:58Speaker 7: actually until I saw your Instagram. That's how I was like, oh, wait,
- 19:01Speaker 7: hold on. I didn't know about this. I'm sure that
- 19:05Speaker 7: because we don't know about it, a lot of people
- 19:07Speaker 7: don't go. So how would we find out this information?
- 19:09Speaker 7: Because it's not put out there like that.
- 19:12Speaker 4: So it's there, but it's not publicized.
- 19:15Speaker 1: Correct. Right.
- 19:16Speaker 4: And it's imperative that people under the age of 30
- 19:21Speaker 4: join their community board. You have to be 16 to
- 19:24Speaker 4: join a community board in New York City. The reason
- 19:27Speaker 4: why I say that every community board, I've been on
- 19:29Speaker 4: my community board, District 18, D18, pick up yourself. And
- 19:33Speaker 4: I visited other community boards. It's the same prototype. A
- 19:38Speaker 4: bunch of people over the age of 65 making decisions
- 19:41Speaker 4: on your community, and then they have political ties. So
- 19:44Speaker 4: at the community board, which happens once a month, and
- 19:47Speaker 4: then there's also the NYPD community community. council that happens
- 19:51Speaker 4: once a month in every borough, in every city, Bronx, Queens, Manhattan, every.
- 19:56Speaker 1: One of us.
- 19:56Speaker 5: Yeah, because I never knew any of this.
- 19:58Speaker 4: You'll see a leadership of older people. And they're the
- 20:01Speaker 4: ones that do come out. I understand people got kids,
- 20:03Speaker 4: they work, but you.
- 20:04Speaker 1: Have to sacrifice.
- 20:07Speaker 4: One night every month, go let them see your face,
- 20:11Speaker 4: let them know who you are, let them know your
- 20:13Speaker 4: concerns because the community board is a preschool to Congress, right? Mm-hmm.
- 20:22Speaker 1: Where you have.
- 20:23Speaker 4: Someone like, why is her name? Nancy Pelosi. And who's
- 20:28Speaker 4: the other guy? My brain is like.
- 20:29Speaker 1: McConnell, right?
- 20:31Speaker 4: Mitch McConnell.
- 20:34Speaker 1: That's a bigger view of your community.
- 20:36Speaker 4: It's the same people who are older and they don't
- 20:38Speaker 4: want to let go. They don't want to come out
- 20:40Speaker 4: of their... The community board becomes a new social club
- 20:44Speaker 4: for them. And they're the most popular ones. So people keep...
- 20:47Speaker 4: They see your name the most. They see it and
- 20:49Speaker 4: they get... reelected, they get re-put in. So if you
- 20:53Speaker 4: don't go, you won't even be able to impact or
- 20:56Speaker 4: change the stuff that happens on top because everything that
- 20:59Speaker 4: happens on the top starts on the bottom.
- 21:00Speaker 1: Right. Absolutely.
- 21:01Speaker 4: Right. And that's why we are in midterms. And for
- 21:03Speaker 4: those who don't know what midterms are, midterms mean that
- 21:07Speaker 4: in the middle of the presidential tenure, we're going to
- 21:11Speaker 4: reevaluate what's going on.
- 21:12Speaker 1: And that was just like a safety.
- 21:14Speaker 4: Guard so that no one no entity, no full Republican,
- 21:18Speaker 4: no full Democrat could really sway the government. And right
- 21:21Speaker 4: now we have a red, a really red Congress.
- 21:24Speaker 1: Right. And people are like, yeah, I don't like what
- 21:25Speaker 1: y'all doing.
- 21:26Speaker 4: So I'm gonna make it blue. And that kind of
- 21:29Speaker 4: happened with that. Not kind of, it happened with Obama.
- 21:32Speaker 4: Obama was blue, but he had a red Congress. So
- 21:34Speaker 4: everything he did was, They were like, no.
- 21:36Speaker 5: Right.
- 21:36Speaker 4: And people don't understand that he didn't do it. Yeah,
- 21:38Speaker 4: because Congress wasn't coming together to say yes to him.
- 21:42Speaker 4: So what this presidency has done is they did a
- 21:45Speaker 4: lot of their big bills and their big cuts already.
- 21:49Speaker 4: But it will be implemented once he leaves because they're like, OK,
- 21:52Speaker 4: you don't you don't you won't get rid of us.
- 21:54Speaker 4: Then let me just put my stake in so that
- 21:56Speaker 4: things will not work.
- 21:58Speaker 1: But.
- 21:59Speaker 4: All governments, let me just say this. I've been covering
- 22:01Speaker 4: the news for 20 something years. I'm really more into
- 22:04Speaker 4: politics and hip hop than anything else. All government is corrupt.
- 22:09Speaker 5: Yes.
- 22:09Speaker 4: But what you have to do. is find your path
- 22:14Speaker 4: so that you get what you want. Because at the
- 22:15Speaker 4: end of the day, if you know your community board person,
- 22:19Speaker 4: if you know your city council person, they can help
- 22:23Speaker 4: in your neighborhood. And that's why it's so important to vote.
- 22:27Speaker 4: On the back of the votes, what camera? I don't know.
- 22:29Speaker 4: Maybe y'all could put up a screen or whatever.
- 22:31Speaker 1: Right there, girl.
- 22:32Speaker 4: So these are ballots like and this is again, everything
- 22:35Speaker 4: that happens on this level happens in a larger level. So,
- 22:38Speaker 4: for example, if we're pushing a bill to have a war,
- 22:41Speaker 4: they'll throw some.
- 22:42Speaker 1: Like gun law in there.
- 22:43Speaker 4: But if you didn't read the whole.
- 22:44Speaker 5: 10, 20 pages, you're focused on the one thing.
- 22:46Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 22:47Speaker 4: So on the ballot, they want to make some amendments
- 22:49Speaker 4: to the way we govern our community. And I'm going
- 22:53Speaker 4: to highly suggest that you do know. And I'm going
- 22:56Speaker 4: to tell you about the ballots because they sneak it
- 22:58Speaker 4: in and they write it so clearly. In such a
- 23:01Speaker 4: great way that you wouldn't even know. It's kind of like,
- 23:03Speaker 4: you know, the 16 questions.
- 23:03Speaker 5: Where do you even get this from? Because I've never
- 23:05Speaker 5: even seen this like this before.
- 23:06Speaker 1: Oh, really?
- 23:06Speaker 4: Okay, so I did not know that. So this is
- 23:09Speaker 4: your voter's guide. Everyone who is registered to vote should
- 23:12Speaker 4: have already had one.
- 23:14Speaker 1: Right.
- 23:14Speaker 4: It came in the mail. And if not, it's at
- 23:16Speaker 4: the library.
- 23:17Speaker 5: I've never seen it.
- 23:19Speaker 1: Okay, thank you for letting us know. It's at the library.
- 23:21Speaker 4: It's online. Um, it's the voters registration guide and it,
- 23:24Speaker 4: and this is a non bipartisan organization. So they tell
- 23:27Speaker 4: you about your Democrats and your Republican so that you
- 23:30Speaker 4: can get a full, you know, to do, and I'll
- 23:32Speaker 4: send you guys a copy, but you can get it
- 23:34Speaker 4: from the library and you can get it online. So
- 23:36Speaker 4: the ballots that they're slipping in, like, I'm going to
- 23:39Speaker 4: just read them and not go too far, but it
- 23:41Speaker 4: says speed up the process. Have fun.
- 23:44Speaker 1: Okay, cool.
- 23:44Speaker 4: Thank you. So ballot proposal number one is speed up
- 23:47Speaker 4: the process for granting revocable consent to use of public spaces.
- 23:51Speaker 4: So instead of having the community board look at what's
- 23:55Speaker 4: happening and have the ability to disapprove a sidewalk cafe
- 23:59Speaker 4: or anything, they're going to take that away so that
- 24:02Speaker 4: the state government could just roll with it, right? And
- 24:04Speaker 4: that's ballot one. So you're going to say no, because
- 24:06Speaker 4: they're slowly stripping away any voice from the community board.
- 24:10Speaker 4: And you need that. Like I said, every government... is corrupt,
- 24:15Speaker 4: but you want to be able to have some sway
- 24:18Speaker 4: in your neighborhood.
- 24:19Speaker 2: Right?
- 24:20Speaker 1: We done know so-and-so got the check. Right.
- 24:23Speaker 4: And they don't want to come out of office. But
- 24:24Speaker 4: when you roll up in there because you're a constituent,
- 24:26Speaker 4: he going to handle something in your favor.
- 24:28Speaker 7: Correct.
- 24:28Speaker 8: Right?
- 24:28Speaker 4: So you vote because you want someone in there who
- 24:32Speaker 4: can give you something for your community.
- 24:35Speaker 10: Right?
- 24:35Speaker 4: Right. All right, so you're going to vote no to
- 24:37Speaker 4: the first ballot proposition. The second one is reduce the
- 24:39Speaker 4: city contractor paperwork.
- 24:41Speaker 1: Can y'all write this down? If y'all listening, she talked
- 24:43Speaker 1: a little fast. You can slow down. We ain't in
- 24:44Speaker 1: a rush. Okay, cool. I know you might got another,
- 24:46Speaker 1: she probably got four more shows to do today, which
- 24:48Speaker 1: is great. But we want you, write this down if
- 24:50Speaker 1: you care. Right. This shit matters in your neighborhoods. And
- 24:54Speaker 1: if you're in fucking Omaha right now, pay attention to
- 24:57Speaker 1: what's on your ballot. Absolutely. The shit that they're doing here,
- 25:00Speaker 1: they're doing everywhere. Everywhere. When we was talking about the
- 25:02Speaker 1: bus lane, somebody was like, look, they're doing that shit
- 25:04Speaker 1: right here in Philly. This shit is affecting all of
- 25:06Speaker 1: us and it's largely in black and brown neighborhoods because
- 25:09Speaker 1: we too busy trying to get our kids to school
- 25:11Speaker 1: and we got to get home to get them and
- 25:13Speaker 1: cook dinner. We can't go to the community board. We
- 25:15Speaker 1: don't have the time. So they slipped this shit in
- 25:17Speaker 1: there to fuck with us. Yeah. Pay attention.
- 25:19Speaker 7: I didn't even know that that was a thing. I
- 25:20Speaker 7: didn't even know it came like that. That makes like
- 25:23Speaker 7: a world of difference.
- 25:24Speaker 8: I was about to mention that this comes in the mail,
- 25:26Speaker 8: but I think you know what? I think people of color,
- 25:29Speaker 8: I think.
- 25:30Speaker 2: We're like, fuck it, it's male.
- 25:34Speaker 8: They see vote, whatever the case is. We might toss
- 25:37Speaker 8: it in the trash or things of that nature or whatever.
- 25:39Speaker 1: The case is.
- 25:40Speaker 8: Also, before you finish this, what are they doing to
- 25:45Speaker 8: these roads? They're digging the ground up in almost every
- 25:50Speaker 8: neighborhood that's black and brown.
- 25:55Speaker 2: All at once. And then not fixing the roads. You
- 25:57Speaker 2: get what I'm saying? It's like fucking the cars up
- 25:59Speaker 2: and shit.
- 25:59Speaker 5: It's like a war against cars out here.
- 26:01Speaker 2: Yo, do they not want people to drive?
- 26:05Speaker 4: Well, of course not.
- 26:06Speaker 1: Of course not.
- 26:08Speaker 4: Let me back up for a second. So a lot
- 26:10Speaker 4: of the road work that you're seeing done, let's say Brownsville,
- 26:13Speaker 4: let's say Canarsie, is Con Edison is upgrading their bases
- 26:18Speaker 4: and it's all going underground. And now what should happen
- 26:21Speaker 4: is the city is supposed to come back and put
- 26:23Speaker 4: the road back on. But there is like a 10-year
- 26:26Speaker 4: delay on certain road fixtures. There's a seven-year delay on
- 26:31Speaker 4: tree pruning. There's a delay on everything. So yes, there
- 26:34Speaker 4: will be a delay on that. But a lot of
- 26:36Speaker 4: the road work you're seeing now is Con Edison upgrading
- 26:40Speaker 4: grids and adding more wattages. And they're doing it from underground.
- 26:44Speaker 5: Because we're building so much.
- 26:45Speaker 7: We have all this affordable housing and buildings going up
- 26:47Speaker 7: that we don't have enough space.
- 26:50Speaker 1: Energy.
- 26:50Speaker 7: Yeah, voltage to support all these things that we're putting in.
- 26:54Speaker 7: So they have to upgrade the system, but then they're digging.
- 26:57Speaker 7: Like on my block, they're doing the same thing.
- 26:59Speaker 1: It's retired. I love that you asked that. Before I forget.
- 27:02Speaker 4: Yeah, please.
- 27:03Speaker 1: What the fuck is them new black cameras?
- 27:05Speaker 5: The flock cameras?
- 27:06Speaker 1: Oh, no.
- 27:06Speaker 2: They added more cameras.
- 27:07Speaker 4: So there was 600 flock cameras for speeded. added in
- 27:12Speaker 4: New York City.
- 27:13Speaker 1: The black ones that look like J-Fox?
- 27:14Speaker 2: They're flock cameras.
- 27:15Speaker 1: Those are flock cameras?
- 27:16Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 27:16Speaker 5: They're like military-grade cameras.
- 27:18Speaker 4: They're very dangerous because it hasn't happened in New York,
- 27:22Speaker 4: but most recently in Florida, this man went on vacation
- 27:25Speaker 4: with his wife, Malison, went on vacation with his wife.
- 27:28Speaker 1: They got off the boat. He was arrested.
- 27:31Speaker 4: And they said that the flock camera caught him from
- 27:34Speaker 4: a high-speed chase. His car looked exactly like the car
- 27:38Speaker 4: from the high-speed.
- 27:39Speaker 1: Chase, but because.
- 27:40Speaker 4: The police officer in Georgia didn't see that his car went,
- 27:44Speaker 4: for example, his car passed them at like 2.26. And
- 27:47Speaker 4: then the car they were looking for passed them at
- 27:49Speaker 4: 2 o'clock. That little mistake got him arrested. Little mistake.
- 27:54Speaker 4: So we already have a system. All government is corrupt.
- 27:59Speaker 4: All government is corrupt. We have a system where our
- 28:02Speaker 4: police officers unfortunately have a lot of biases. And then
- 28:06Speaker 4: when you have a police officer, no tea, no shade,
- 28:08Speaker 4: no tea, no shade, no tea, no shade. who only
- 28:10Speaker 4: has a high school education, and I know a lot
- 28:12Speaker 4: of people with high school education that are brilliant, but
- 28:14Speaker 4: when you get into something like the military or the police,
- 28:17Speaker 4: you get what's called groupthink. Have you ever heard of groupthink?
- 28:21Speaker 4: So you just automatically start thinking a certain way. So some,
- 28:25Speaker 4: not all, we have very great, smart police officers, but
- 28:29Speaker 4: some are not that, okay? So when you have these things...
- 28:34Speaker 4: Flock cameras. And the flock camera company said, listen, I
- 28:38Speaker 4: provide a service. You got to provide training. So you're
- 28:41Speaker 4: the one that's supposed to read that the car I
- 28:43Speaker 4: was looking for passed at 2 o'clock and his car
- 28:46Speaker 4: passed at 2.20.
- 28:46Speaker 1: But who told them that they... Because these flock cameras
- 28:49Speaker 1: are private owned.
- 28:50Speaker 4: So.
- 28:53Speaker 1: When did Big Brother just become legal for some private
- 28:55Speaker 1: company to just put cameras up everywhere?
- 28:57Speaker 4: So the theory that me and a lot of my
- 29:01Speaker 4: associates have, and it's a theory, is because Lyft and
- 29:05Speaker 4: Uber lobby our government hard.
- 29:07Speaker 5: Yes, they do.
- 29:08Speaker 1: Hard.
- 29:08Speaker 4: They winding down them hard.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Yes, they do.
- 29:10Speaker 4: They want to get us on a subscription model. They're
- 29:13Speaker 4: moving into driverless cars. If you haven't noticed, Waymo is
- 29:17Speaker 4: paying for everything under the sun.
- 29:19Speaker 1: Pay for me too, child. And Waymo is them cars
- 29:21Speaker 1: with the spinning thing. You see them riding around in
- 29:24Speaker 1: LA and shit like that. They're coming this way.
- 29:26Speaker 4: They got it in Miami.
- 29:27Speaker 5: It picks you up, takes you.
- 29:28Speaker 1: Right.
- 29:29Speaker 4: And you're being driven by someone in India, which a
- 29:31Speaker 4: lot of people don't know. Yeah, because India is the
- 29:34Speaker 4: number one tech ground. So all of your tech comes
- 29:37Speaker 4: from India. So some guy in India is watching the car.
- 29:40Speaker 4: and making sure it turns, it does stuff, instead of
- 29:43Speaker 4: contracting actual drivers. But that's another story for another day.
- 29:46Speaker 4: But the goal is to have you on subscription. Your
- 29:49Speaker 4: rent be a subscription. Your phone is a subscription. Your
- 29:52Speaker 4: driving is a subscription. I mean, it is working in
- 29:54Speaker 4: places like London, Paris, because you just can't drive like that.
- 29:58Speaker 4: The buildings are older. The structures are older. You're on
- 30:01Speaker 4: a cobble road. So it works, and they want to
- 30:03Speaker 4: bring that, allegedly.
- 30:04Speaker 1: To New York. I've seen it in L.A., big time.
- 30:08Speaker 4: Yeah, and another thing, just be very careful with flock cameras.
- 30:11Speaker 4: Make sure you document everything. Make sure you get paperwork.
- 30:14Speaker 4: Go back to a paper bank statement. There was a
- 30:17Speaker 4: woman in Tennessee who a flock camera picked her up.
- 30:20Speaker 4: They said that she stole someone's identity. And it wasn't
- 30:22Speaker 4: until they got her bank statements that it was like, oh,
- 30:25Speaker 4: that wasn't you. So these flock cameras are very, very,
- 30:28Speaker 4: very dangerous. And if you owe on your car, honey,
- 30:32Speaker 4: like you didn't pay that car note, a lot of
- 30:34Speaker 4: the malls are allowing flock cameras to pick up your
- 30:38Speaker 4: car on private garages.
- 30:40Speaker 5: And they can repo your car from the mall, yes.
- 30:43Speaker 1: If the electric car didn't shut you down. The malls, hey,
- 30:47Speaker 1: we shopping at these malls and they are literally helping
- 30:50Speaker 1: them gather you up in all these different ways. Easily, too.
- 30:52Speaker 1: Let's go back to the ballot. Let's go back. First
- 30:54Speaker 1: of all, thank you so much for what.
- 30:55Speaker 5: You're doing for us today. No, this is so much
- 30:57Speaker 5: information already.
- 30:58Speaker 1: Really?
- 30:59Speaker 7: Cause I really never seen this before.
- 31:01Speaker 5: And it's like, I probably, I probably have seen it,
- 31:03Speaker 5: but like you said, I'm like, Oh, it's.
- 31:05Speaker 1: Not a bill. Okay.
- 31:06Speaker 4: I don't care.
- 31:07Speaker 1: Right.
- 31:07Speaker 7: So now that I know I'm going to go home
- 31:09Speaker 7: and look for it, but that's so important. Cause when
- 31:11Speaker 7: I go to vote, I'm just like, okay, what is
- 31:13Speaker 7: these things they're asking me for?
- 31:15Speaker 4: It doesn't make sense.
- 31:15Speaker 5: Right.
- 31:17Speaker 4: Thank you. So ballot number two is a reduced city
- 31:20Speaker 4: contractor paperwork requiring regular meetings of procurement. So now when
- 31:24Speaker 4: someone does get a contract, So if you vote yes,
- 31:26Speaker 4: the procurement authority, including simplifying contract stuff. But if you
- 31:30Speaker 4: vote no, it will leave it alone where the comptroller
- 31:33Speaker 4: has to maintain regulations in getting contracts.
- 31:37Speaker 8: Yes.
- 31:37Speaker 4: Right. So as you guys can see, we had a
- 31:39Speaker 4: lot of food recalls. And that's because your boy and
- 31:41Speaker 4: president said, listen, FDA, take a break.
- 31:45Speaker 5: And maybe they did not take a break.
- 31:48Speaker 1: They went on vacation.
- 31:49Speaker 2: Hello.
- 31:50Speaker 5: Every damn thing was gone.
- 31:52Speaker 1: Lettuce, the cheese, the milk, the onions, the meat.
- 31:56Speaker 5: They tried to recall condoms too. It was craziness.
- 31:59Speaker 1: Right.
- 31:59Speaker 4: And this is what happens when you decrease regulations, right?
- 32:03Speaker 1: You seen that? Right. No, they were trying to recall condoms. No.
- 32:07Speaker 1: No to everything.
- 32:08Speaker 5: But you know what I'm noticing? The vocabulary they're using... Right.
- 32:14Speaker 5: It's going to throw a lot of people off.
- 32:17Speaker 7: Unfortunately, speaking from an educator background, the our black and
- 32:23Speaker 7: brown communities, they don't know what revocable means, unfortunately.
- 32:26Speaker 1: Right.
- 32:27Speaker 5: So that right there, they're going like, oh, they said
- 32:28Speaker 5: to Grant.
- 32:29Speaker 4: OK, cool.
- 32:30Speaker 5: They like it's.
- 32:32Speaker 4: Well, I mean, we have a literacy crisis.
- 32:35Speaker 5: Absolutely.
- 32:36Speaker 4: A thousand percent. When I tell you literacy is in
- 32:38Speaker 4: the trash.
- 32:38Speaker 1: Yes. In the bin of hell. And then with.
- 32:41Speaker 4: Literacy, I even just learned about literacy science.
- 32:45Speaker 1: Yes. I was like, what's this?
- 32:46Speaker 9: Right?
- 32:47Speaker 4: It's being able to really comprehend what you've read.
- 32:51Speaker 1: Yes.
- 32:52Speaker 4: And then tell someone how, you know, what you read about.
- 32:54Speaker 1: It's just like, anyway. You can be a doctor of
- 32:57Speaker 1: literacy now.
- 32:57Speaker 5: I teach middle school.
- 32:58Speaker 1: Right, literally.
- 33:00Speaker 5: I teach middle school and I have students. I have
- 33:02Speaker 5: a student. I love him.
- 33:03Speaker 1: He's so sweet.
- 33:05Speaker 5: He reads on the first grade level. And I'm like, okay, right.
- 33:09Speaker 7: First of all, how'd you make it this far? Cause
- 33:11Speaker 7: there's no child left behind. I don't agree with that,
- 33:13Speaker 7: but I digress.
- 33:15Speaker 1: I'm just fine.
- 33:18Speaker 7: No, but we have students in eighth grade who are
- 33:23Speaker 7: reading at first grade, third grade, fourth grade.
- 33:26Speaker 5: And it's just like, how did you get this far?
- 33:31Speaker 1: Right.
- 33:31Speaker 5: With not being able to say, hey, I understand what
- 33:34Speaker 5: you think.
- 33:35Speaker 7: So now I got to slow down for my kids
- 33:37Speaker 7: who are on level or at least that seventh and
- 33:40Speaker 7: go back for you. And now everybody's in disarray because
- 33:43Speaker 7: I have to now change my lesson for the at
- 33:46Speaker 7: least fifth grade because I need to meet y'all halfway.
- 33:48Speaker 7: And now y'all are like, all right, I'm bored because
- 33:51Speaker 7: I know what this word means.
- 33:53Speaker 5: And there's adults who is just as bad. So it's like, yeah.
- 33:56Speaker 5: Everything is like a line against each other. It's just disgusting.
- 33:59Speaker 4: Now that I'm back in the single club, one thing
- 34:01Speaker 4: I do is I always like, oh, babe, can you read.
- 34:03Speaker 1: This for me? And if you over there stumbling and mumbling,
- 34:07Speaker 1: you're getting blocked. Listen. And just test them.
- 34:09Speaker 2: No, you have to.
- 34:11Speaker 1: Read this entire sentence. I love that. That's fire.
- 34:13Speaker 2: That's actually a good one.
- 34:13Speaker 1: Read this out loud for me. I'm not even going
- 34:15Speaker 1: to fight with you. I'm feeling it. I'm feeling it.
- 34:17Speaker 1: I'm so tired. You should give me that. I'm going
- 34:19Speaker 1: to be like. Tahoe.
- 34:21Speaker 2: Tahoe.
- 34:21Speaker 8: It's a lot of words.
- 34:22Speaker 7: Tahoe.
- 34:23Speaker 1: Odyssey, though.
- 34:24Speaker 2: Working in the industry, bartender.
- 34:27Speaker 1: I'm going to get you.
- 34:27Speaker 2: I'm going to come back.
- 34:28Speaker 1: Raspisado. Yo.
- 34:31Speaker 4: Raspisado.
- 34:31Speaker 2: When my folks like, they look at the menu for
- 34:34Speaker 2: two seconds. I know they can't read.
- 34:36Speaker 1: There you go.
- 34:36Speaker 8: When they do this, yo, man, what drinks you got?
- 34:41Speaker 8: I say, yo, the menu's right. Everything right here is
- 34:45Speaker 8: what we have.
- 34:46Speaker 9: Damn.
- 34:47Speaker 2: Nah, nah, but like, why is tequila?
- 34:48Speaker 1: Tequila.
- 34:49Speaker 2: I'm like, I know you see it, though.
- 34:51Speaker 1: Right.
- 34:51Speaker 2: Like, help me out. Like, help me help you.
- 34:54Speaker 8: But when they do that, I feel so bad, bro.
- 34:58Speaker 8: And it happens all the time. And they be like,
- 35:00Speaker 8: they be older.
- 35:01Speaker 1: Damn. They be older. Yeah.
- 35:03Speaker 4: And they never got it done. But whenever you get
- 35:05Speaker 4: a chance, Google Baltimore graduated, can't read. There was a
- 35:11Speaker 4: kid in Baltimore about two years ago. He literally was
- 35:14Speaker 4: at the cusp of graduation, couldn't read, couldn't... His mom
- 35:18Speaker 4: sued them. But her thing was that she had three jobs.
- 35:22Speaker 4: She had other children. She wasn't paying attention. And I'm
- 35:24Speaker 4: just like, okay.
- 35:27Speaker 1: You never sat with him.
- 35:29Speaker 4: You never, not once.
- 35:30Speaker 1: In eight years, throughout this whole process from kindergarten to
- 35:34Speaker 1: 12th grade, never, not once said, yo, what does this say?
- 35:39Speaker 1: Write this.
- 35:40Speaker 5: But that just goes to show she never even had
- 35:41Speaker 5: a conversation with him.
- 35:42Speaker 1: Oh, no.
- 35:43Speaker 5: Because you mean to tell me I asked you, hey,
- 35:45Speaker 5: how was your day? And you're like, uh.
- 35:46Speaker 7: Like, simple things you can't comprehend and respond back to me.
- 35:51Speaker 5: She's just as at fault as the system.
- 35:52Speaker 1: You can learn the words and not know how to
- 35:54Speaker 1: write them.
- 35:55Speaker 7: She's just as at fault as the system. Because as
- 35:59Speaker 7: a parent, that is your duty. You gave birth to
- 36:02Speaker 7: these children. It is your duty to make sure... That
- 36:07Speaker 7: certain things is happening at home. Whether you say, okay,
- 36:11Speaker 7: I'm going to read to you or not.
- 36:12Speaker 5: All right, let me at least play an audio book so.
- 36:14Speaker 7: You can hear these words being told to you because
- 36:17Speaker 7: there's no reason that I'm saying recall to you and
- 36:19Speaker 7: you're like, huh?
- 36:21Speaker 5: These are words you should know.
- 36:23Speaker 1: And they try to spell it weird and shit. Well,
- 36:25Speaker 1: at least they're trying to pronounce it.
- 36:27Speaker 5: Let me tell you something. School a little different. Especially now.
- 36:31Speaker 5: School a little different.
- 36:32Speaker 1: Ms. B, give us the rest of this ballot. Let's
- 36:34Speaker 1: hear it. She said this, right? Before you get tired
- 36:38Speaker 1: of all this, because some of y'all got shit attention span.
- 36:42Speaker 1: No to everything. Right. No to everything.
- 36:45Speaker 11: No.
- 36:45Speaker 1: But go ahead. I want to hear what they're doing.
- 36:46Speaker 4: Just really quickly, just to tag on that. One thing
- 36:49Speaker 4: I want us to do, we're never going to have
- 36:51Speaker 4: a better government, better anything because all government is correct,
- 36:54Speaker 4: education is corrupt. Every one of these meetings are public.
- 36:58Speaker 4: Your school board meeting, public, public. City council, public. You
- 37:02Speaker 4: could roll up in city council and just listen and
- 37:04Speaker 4: be like, okay, that's what they talk about today. And
- 37:07Speaker 4: they bet on the fact that we don't show up
- 37:10Speaker 4: to make moves and decisions about what you need. So
- 37:13Speaker 4: if you have a child, a grandkid, whatever, in school,
- 37:17Speaker 4: go to your school board meeting.
- 37:20Speaker 1: Go.
- 37:20Speaker 4: They're going to tell you how much money budget they have,
- 37:23Speaker 4: what they're spending, and you can really influence your child's thing.
- 37:26Speaker 4: So back to this. We talked about three ballot positions
- 37:29Speaker 4: on the New York City ballots, and we're going to
- 37:33Speaker 4: vote no. The first one was speeding up the process
- 37:35Speaker 4: for granting votes. revocable consent to public use?
- 37:38Speaker 1: No.
- 37:39Speaker 4: The second one is reduce city contractor paperwork?
- 37:41Speaker 1: No.
- 37:42Speaker 4: The third one is speed up street safety projects, dispositioning
- 37:46Speaker 4: unused city property for office leading. You're going to vote no.
- 37:49Speaker 4: Basically what they're saying in this one is that if
- 37:51Speaker 4: there's any unused city property, they'll give it to whoever
- 37:54Speaker 4: they want, whenever they want. When you vote no, it
- 37:56Speaker 4: maintains interagency consultation. So that just, it means that the
- 38:01Speaker 4: mayor can't just come in and say, do it.
- 38:03Speaker 10: Right.
- 38:03Speaker 1: Right.
- 38:03Speaker 4: Number three, number four, that was number three. Again, vote no.
- 38:07Speaker 4: And I'll give them this so that they can put
- 38:09Speaker 4: it somewhere for you guys. Ballot number four, simplifying building
- 38:12Speaker 4: permits and move waterfront permitting to the Department of Buildings. No,
- 38:16Speaker 4: we need every agency to look at if this building
- 38:20Speaker 4: permit should happen, not just one. So you're going to
- 38:23Speaker 4: vote no to ballot number four.
- 38:26Speaker 1: Yo, I wouldn't have thought. Okay, that makes sense. Yeah. Yeah.
- 38:29Speaker 1: They hiding the shit in there.
- 38:31Speaker 5: Absolutely.
- 38:32Speaker 1: Holy shit.
- 38:33Speaker 4: I don't know what we voted yes to. Let me
- 38:35Speaker 4: say this real quick. So the last one is set
- 38:37Speaker 4: contribution targets for rainy day fund to promote sufficient budgetary reserves.
- 38:42Speaker 4: So you're going to vote no because you want other
- 38:44Speaker 4: agencies to look at where this budgetary reserves is going
- 38:47Speaker 4: to go.
- 38:47Speaker 1: Correct.
- 38:48Speaker 4: So the five proposals in the back of your ballot,
- 38:52Speaker 4: you're just going to vote no. Now, there was a case, right?
- 38:57Speaker 4: So this lady bought her condo in the Bronx. Bronx!
- 39:02Speaker 1: Boogie down!
- 39:04Speaker 4: And she said, listen, this is what I want for
- 39:07Speaker 4: intergenerational wealth. Paying her mortgage.
- 39:11Speaker 1: Life was good. Then she gets a letter from New
- 39:13Speaker 1: York City. You're now a renter.
- 39:16Speaker 4: So that building proposition The city went around and found
- 39:21Speaker 4: buildings that they deemed on unlivable on whatever, whatever. And
- 39:26Speaker 4: they transferred the ownership to nonprofits.
- 39:29Speaker 1: This just happened.
- 39:30Speaker 4: It's on my page. And now she's a renter and
- 39:32Speaker 4: no longer owner. And they did not even notify anyone.
- 39:35Speaker 1: Whoa.
- 39:36Speaker 4: And when they did the survey, it was mainly in
- 39:38Speaker 4: brown and black communities. So you need, I know it
- 39:42Speaker 4: takes a little extra to get something done. We need
- 39:45Speaker 4: interagency checks.
- 39:47Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 39:48Speaker 5: Checks and balances.
- 39:49Speaker 1: That's deep. So, yes.
- 39:50Speaker 2: That's fucking crazy.
- 39:51Speaker 5: So, pretty much all that mortgage money she was paying, gone.
- 39:54Speaker 4: They're finally coming together to do a class action lawsuit.
- 39:58Speaker 4: But there are many, many, many other tiny little stipulations
- 40:02Speaker 4: within stuff that the government can do whatever they want.
- 40:04Speaker 1: They can stop city thefts right now. There's a plethora.
- 40:08Speaker 4: So, yeah.
- 40:10Speaker 1: They're trying to... Listen. I say there's a war on cars.
- 40:16Speaker 1: It's more than the bike lanes. It's more than the
- 40:19Speaker 1: bus lanes. There's this thing called Sammy's Law. Is it Sammy?
- 40:26Speaker 1: Little Sammy. Something happened to him years ago. And de
- 40:30Speaker 1: Blasio started Division Zero. thing to bring Sammy got hit.
- 40:35Speaker 4: By a car right because I'm running out of road
- 40:38Speaker 4: right when they talk about Sammy's law they don't talk
- 40:41Speaker 4: about the full Sammy's law so Sammy was a little
- 40:43Speaker 4: boy and running out of road and get licked by
- 40:45Speaker 4: a car and the car was so why are you
- 40:46Speaker 4: running out of road so right hello you should you
- 40:48Speaker 4: should steer with grandparents look up look down and then
- 40:51Speaker 4: you pass right anyway so Sammy mom Sammy mom got
- 40:55Speaker 4: banked right for poor people you gotta make Congress, you
- 41:00Speaker 4: got to make these people your friends because we have
- 41:02Speaker 4: relationship currency when I have the money. So she take
- 41:06Speaker 4: our money and she go to each one of them
- 41:08Speaker 4: and she got her bill passed and that's why driving
- 41:11Speaker 4: within a school area Has gone down to 20 miles
- 41:15Speaker 4: an hour and it's going down to possibly 15.
- 41:17Speaker 1: Yeah, 15.
- 41:18Speaker 4: But they started in the black neighborhoods.
- 41:20Speaker 1: It's at 15 now, no?
- 41:21Speaker 4: It's at 15 right now. It went from 15 to 15.
- 41:24Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 41:24Speaker 2: Some of that 20, some of that 15.
- 41:26Speaker 4: 24 hours a day.
- 41:26Speaker 1: That's how them ducting.
- 41:28Speaker 4: Because in Florida, it's 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- 41:31Speaker 1: Right.
- 41:32Speaker 4: But because they want your black camera to give them
- 41:35Speaker 4: a check.
- 41:35Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
- 41:36Speaker 4: It's 24 hours a day. So whenever you're passing a
- 41:39Speaker 4: school area and somebody like, no, but if you're driving
- 41:41Speaker 4: 20 and then you got to just get yourself down
- 41:44Speaker 4: to 15. Right.
- 41:45Speaker 5: And you're not paying attention. It's easy to get like that.
- 41:48Speaker 4: But his and that's what happens when I talk about
- 41:51Speaker 4: the hood will not look any different because we do have.
- 41:56Speaker 1: Our leaders are great leaders. They're powerful leaders.
- 41:59Speaker 4: But when you get into city council and you talk
- 42:02Speaker 4: about the people that run Fifth Avenue, Sixth Avenue, those
- 42:05Speaker 4: are community boards as well. But they got some long
- 42:09Speaker 4: money and they have standards of living. Correct. So they
- 42:13Speaker 4: already start off with, oh, I need a manicured lawn.
- 42:16Speaker 4: We need the doorman. When, you know, you're coming from
- 42:20Speaker 4: East New York, whatever, you don't have, you're already fighting
- 42:23Speaker 4: just to get a regular cleanup schedule.
- 42:25Speaker 1: Correct. Correct.
- 42:26Speaker 4: So when you get into office, And you want to
- 42:28Speaker 4: pass a bill, you got to have your peers co-sign
- 42:31Speaker 4: and be like, yeah, let's push this through.
- 42:33Speaker 1: Let's make this happen.
- 42:34Speaker 4: And then the entire city council, the entire Congress, whatever.
- 42:37Speaker 4: Now they go, OK, let's pass this. So a lot
- 42:40Speaker 4: of times when you see Rockaway Parkway look the way
- 42:42Speaker 4: it looks or Bed-Stuy, Malcolm X, it's because those leaders
- 42:46Speaker 4: didn't get the go say to move it forward. But
- 42:50Speaker 4: somebody like Sammy's mama, you know, she's going to make
- 42:52Speaker 4: a nice little donation.
- 42:55Speaker 5: And all of a sudden everybody listening to Sammy's mama.
- 42:57Speaker 2: Okay.
- 42:57Speaker 1: And they trying to bring the speed from 25 around
- 43:00Speaker 1: the city now to 20.
- 43:01Speaker 5: Which is crazy.
- 43:02Speaker 1: In New York City.
- 43:04Speaker 8: I think they do want New Yorkers, traditional New Yorkers
- 43:07Speaker 8: to leave.
- 43:07Speaker 5: They want to seize the bus and stuff.
- 43:09Speaker 2: I feel like they want us to leave.
- 43:11Speaker 4: Of course they do, because here's how it goes, right?
- 43:15Speaker 4: And this is just my opinion. This is not the news.
- 43:17Speaker 4: I gave you the news. This is my opinion. Manhattan
- 43:21Speaker 4: now is for billionaires, right? Absolutely. Taylor Swift got her spot.
- 43:27Speaker 4: The billionaires got Manhattan.
- 43:28Speaker 5: Jeff Bezos, yeah.
- 43:28Speaker 4: Right. So now they went downtown Brooklyn. That's what, you know,
- 43:31Speaker 4: they got their little Barclays area.
- 43:32Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 43:33Speaker 4: Okay, but, you know, I'm from Minnesota. I'm not trying to,
- 43:35Speaker 4: I don't got Barclays money, so I got to come
- 43:36Speaker 4: down to Crown Heights. Now I got to come down
- 43:38Speaker 4: to East New York. Now I'm in Brownsville. So yes,
- 43:41Speaker 4: they don't ultimately want us here, but that's their hierarchy
- 43:45Speaker 4: and their... What's the word in India when you got the...
- 43:48Speaker 4: That's their caste system.
- 43:50Speaker 1: Right?
- 43:51Speaker 4: So the billionaires got Manhattan. Where are we going to go? Okay,
- 43:54Speaker 4: let's do this now. And that's how it is.
- 43:56Speaker 1: That's how it is. That's how it is. B, you
- 44:01Speaker 1: have taught us so much here today. No, for real.
- 44:03Speaker 1: I'm glad. I do want to just make sure that
- 44:06Speaker 1: y'all understand these midterms matter. You posting about the midterms matter.
- 44:12Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 44:13Speaker 1: Bro... All of y'all that say y'all not voting, what
- 44:16Speaker 1: does it matter? Bro, your lives are impacted right now. Gas,
- 44:23Speaker 1: $ 82 a gallon right now. Your life is impacted. The
- 44:27Speaker 1: price of a fucking cheeseburger is impacted. Everything is impacted
- 44:33Speaker 1: because a lot of y'all were on that fuck shit. Whoa,
- 44:36Speaker 1: it don't matter if I don't vote. It don't matter.
- 44:38Speaker 1: We need you. I have followers in goddamn Kuwait. I
- 44:43Speaker 1: got followers in Kansas. Somebody's following you from another state
- 44:47Speaker 1: that can influence that district, that can influence that senator
- 44:50Speaker 1: or that motherfucking representative in their state. But they're sitting
- 44:55Speaker 1: there like, post this shit on your story. They might
- 44:58Speaker 1: see it and be like, all right, I'm going to
- 45:00Speaker 1: vote blue. All right, fuck it.
- 45:01Speaker 8: Right?
- 45:02Speaker 1: If y'all not going to say nothing, I don't want
- 45:05Speaker 1: to hear shit later on. I'm in a space... I'm
- 45:07Speaker 1: not going to say that because it affects me too,
- 45:09Speaker 1: but it affects... the underprivileged a lot.
- 45:14Speaker 5: A lot more.
- 45:15Speaker 2: A lot.
- 45:16Speaker 1: I could pay the 82. I don't want to, but
- 45:18Speaker 1: fuck it, I could pay it. But God damn it,
- 45:20Speaker 1: a lot of y'all can't. But y'all sitting on y'all
- 45:23Speaker 1: fucking hands. Post that shit. Spread the word. Ask your friends.
- 45:28Speaker 1: Get your kids if they 18. Come on, we all
- 45:29Speaker 1: going to go right now. You vote, you vote, you vote,
- 45:31Speaker 1: you vote.
- 45:32Speaker 5: It's important.
- 45:33Speaker 1: We all need to be doing this shit, bro. We
- 45:35Speaker 1: live here.
- 45:35Speaker 5: Your life really depends on it.
- 45:37Speaker 1: If y'all just going to keep talking about slavery and
- 45:39Speaker 1: shit and not actively participate in the way things are,
- 45:43Speaker 1: because right now you're a part of the problem. That
- 45:46Speaker 1: shit happened to us then, but right now by not
- 45:48Speaker 1: doing nothing, you're a part of the problem. I'm not
- 45:51Speaker 1: saying don't talk about slavery. I'm talking about my slavery.
- 45:53Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about the way they enforce it.
- 45:55Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about all of that shit. But
- 45:57Speaker 1: right now we have little sectors, little things that we
- 46:01Speaker 1: can do. And that means your community board. That means
- 46:04Speaker 1: showing up to vote. That means sharing information. What news
- 46:08Speaker 1: is doing right now, what B is doing right now,
- 46:10Speaker 1: she's sharing her face. She don't have to do that shit.
- 46:12Speaker 1: She would just be like amongst us. She came here
- 46:14Speaker 1: from what, Tennessee, you said?
- 46:15Speaker 4: No, I'm from Georgia and London.
- 46:18Speaker 1: But she's come here to help influence us to keep
- 46:21Speaker 1: what we was born into. And she's like, yo, just
- 46:24Speaker 1: think about that. She's doing more than half of us
- 46:28Speaker 1: is doing here. I can't say she's doing more than
- 46:30Speaker 1: me because I'm born here. Period.
- 46:32Speaker 4: But, you know, when you guys vote, I just really
- 46:35Speaker 4: need to get you to understand all government is corrupt.
- 46:39Speaker 4: City council is corrupt. You know, but you want that
- 46:42Speaker 4: person in there that know you like, listen, let me
- 46:44Speaker 4: let you win. Voting gives you an opportunity to have
- 46:48Speaker 4: anything on the table. So, yes, you already know the
- 46:51Speaker 4: structure isn't going to work. But how can it work
- 46:53Speaker 4: for you? So someone said, I think it's Yo-Yo. She
- 46:56Speaker 4: wanted to get a speed bump done. Ask them if
- 46:59Speaker 4: they can change the route of traffic. A lot of
- 47:02Speaker 4: times the speed bump would take about a one year
- 47:04Speaker 4: for a survey. After the survey, go back to your
- 47:08Speaker 4: community board, go back to wherever it is. If there's
- 47:10Speaker 4: a school there, you'll get it done faster. If there's
- 47:13Speaker 4: a community center there, you'll get it done faster. But yo, yo,
- 47:16Speaker 4: go back to the community board and ask them if
- 47:18Speaker 4: they can change the direction of traffic and that will
- 47:21Speaker 4: slow stuff down.
- 47:23Speaker 1: The direction? Yeah.
- 47:24Speaker 4: So if it's going that way, just ask them to
- 47:26Speaker 4: change it. That's faster than a speed bump.
- 47:29Speaker 1: Really? Yeah. Well, how the fuck are you going to change?
- 47:32Speaker 1: So a pan can't go this way. You want us
- 47:33Speaker 1: to push it?
- 47:34Speaker 4: Literally, they can do it.
- 47:35Speaker 1: Get the shit out of here.
- 47:37Speaker 4: Because it's quicker than getting the survey done for a
- 47:41Speaker 4: speed bump.
- 47:42Speaker 1: That's intense.
- 47:43Speaker 4: And how would I learn? Because I go to my
- 47:45Speaker 4: community board. I'm real cool with my girl, the head
- 47:47Speaker 4: of the community. I'm like, I need something. And she's like,
- 47:49Speaker 4: this is what you're going to do. That's why you
- 47:51Speaker 4: need to vote because you get people, you know, like
- 47:55Speaker 4: at the end of the day, we can't change the world.
- 47:56Speaker 4: We can't change everything. But where I live, going to
- 47:59Speaker 4: be comfortable.
- 48:00Speaker 5: Correct.
- 48:01Speaker 4: What I need going to be done. And if I
- 48:03Speaker 4: have the ability, because I go to the community board,
- 48:05Speaker 4: they know me, I know them. They can make the
- 48:08Speaker 4: phone call for me. That's what, that's all we need.
- 48:10Speaker 4: Because all government is corrupt.
- 48:15Speaker 1: Question, this ballot thing that you have right here, not ballot,
- 48:17Speaker 1: what is that pamphlet called?
- 48:19Speaker 4: So yeah, so I have two things that I brought
- 48:21Speaker 4: with me. And again, this is from NYC Votes. It's
- 48:24Speaker 4: a nonprofit. that teaches about voting what's on the table
- 48:28Speaker 4: also nyc votes if you decide to run for office
- 48:32Speaker 4: they will help you so whatever you are matching if
- 48:35Speaker 4: you raise 500 they'll give you 500 because it is
- 48:37Speaker 4: just to get new voices in and this is your
- 48:40Speaker 4: voter voter guide it's a little bit smaller than last
- 48:44Speaker 4: year because last year we had a president but this
- 48:47Speaker 4: is it it's from nyc votes they are nycvotes.org And
- 48:50Speaker 4: then I also brought the election day, your information on
- 48:55Speaker 4: how to vote, where to vote. And this is from
- 48:57Speaker 4: the Board of Elections. This is from New York's Board
- 48:59Speaker 4: of Elections. If you didn't get one, go down to
- 49:01Speaker 4: their office, downtown Brooklyn, and they'll give it to you.
- 49:05Speaker 4: And also there's, for make it easy, Vlad, God damn
- 49:08Speaker 4: make it easy. So there is a QR code that
- 49:11Speaker 4: I'm hiding because it's my QR code. You scan it,
- 49:13Speaker 4: it goes to your wallet. And then this one you
- 49:16Speaker 4: rip off, you put on your key, and then you.
- 49:18Speaker 1: Just go vote.
- 49:19Speaker 4: Dope.
- 49:19Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 49:19Speaker 4: So you're not going to tell them your name, your number,
- 49:21Speaker 4: your social, and just bring it.
- 49:23Speaker 1: All the time.
- 49:23Speaker 7: But they don't let you know this information. I would
- 49:26Speaker 7: have never known these things. Like, I don't even know
- 49:28Speaker 7: when my community board meeting is.
- 49:30Speaker 1: Where do you live?
- 49:31Speaker 5: I live in Crown Heights.
- 49:32Speaker 4: Okay, that's eight or three.
- 49:35Speaker 1: You probably don't even know your number, right?
- 49:36Speaker 5: I don't even know. I'm off of Eastern Parkway.
- 49:38Speaker 4: Okay, so that's like three. Listen, I like your community
- 49:41Speaker 4: board call. Honey, I think their next one is going
- 49:43Speaker 4: to be at the Brooklyn Children's Museum.
- 49:45Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll send it to you.
- 49:46Speaker 5: Send it to me.
- 49:47Speaker 4: They go around. They go to different locations.
- 49:49Speaker 7: I want to go like stuff like this is important
- 49:50Speaker 7: to me because actually right now we have some.
- 49:52Speaker 5: The the hat people.
- 49:55Speaker 1: Hey, yo. Hey, take it easy.
- 49:58Speaker 5: I did. The other hat people.
- 50:00Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Not you.
- 50:03Speaker 1: Not you, JT.
- 50:04Speaker 2: I said little hats or something.
- 50:06Speaker 1: The little hats.
- 50:06Speaker 4: Yeah, the other hats.
- 50:07Speaker 5: Yeah, the other hats.
- 50:09Speaker 7: They're building something on my block, but they've been building
- 50:11Speaker 7: 24 hours. Like, through the night, the construction has been going.
- 50:15Speaker 7: I'm like, I know this ain't right. I know this
- 50:17Speaker 7: isn't supposed to be like this.
- 50:19Speaker 5: Y'all supposed to go to sleep. But why y'all still
- 50:21Speaker 5: rocking at 6 a.m.? Another tunnel.
- 50:23Speaker 2: Please, guys.
- 50:24Speaker 1: The vampires gotta go to sleep. If you're out there...
- 50:27Speaker 1: what we're doing right now, this is called information sharing.
- 50:29Speaker 2: Yes.
- 50:30Speaker 1: We don't be knowing. And a lot of us don't
- 50:32Speaker 1: know who to talk to. Yeah. And we don't, somebody
- 50:34Speaker 1: isn't that, that is in the know isn't necessarily going
- 50:37Speaker 1: to come to your little room and sit down and
- 50:39Speaker 1: have that conversation with you. So what you have to
- 50:42Speaker 1: do when you have these problems, is use your voice,
- 50:45Speaker 1: actually go on it and then search the shit, go
- 50:47Speaker 1: down there to the meeting and say, yo, these motherfuckers
- 50:50Speaker 1: is building at 1 a.m. Yeah. You have to do that.
- 50:54Speaker 7: What they're building, I'm not even in agreeance of what
- 50:56Speaker 7: they're building. So had I known, I'd have been like, no.
- 51:00Speaker 7: Because the minute I do a little house party at
- 51:02Speaker 7: my house, y'all want to call my friends them down
- 51:05Speaker 7: the road. So I would have been like, no. And
- 51:07Speaker 7: I know that that had to go through the community board,
- 51:09Speaker 7: but I was unaware of when even a community board
- 51:12Speaker 7: meeting was.
- 51:13Speaker 1: I love that she did the West Indian voice the
- 51:15Speaker 1: way I did it. I never heard her say that before.
- 51:17Speaker 5: People are down near rude.
- 51:18Speaker 1: Yeah. Down near rude.
- 51:20Speaker 5: Them down there.
- 51:21Speaker 4: But you should start by, first of all, send an
- 51:23Speaker 4: email every day.
- 51:25Speaker 9: Okay.
- 51:25Speaker 1: Are you in a building?
- 51:26Speaker 5: No, I have a private house.
- 51:27Speaker 1: Okay. Well, get some people on the block.
- 51:30Speaker 4: And every day for five days, you want to email
- 51:32Speaker 4: your community board. Just Google them. The email's there. And
- 51:35Speaker 4: your city council member. They need a track record, right?
- 51:38Speaker 4: So one email got lost. You know, we didn't see
- 51:41Speaker 4: that email.
- 51:42Speaker 8: Right.
- 51:42Speaker 4: They don't miss.
- 51:43Speaker 1: Five from five different people. Okay. It has to be addressed.
- 51:47Speaker 9: Okay.
- 51:47Speaker 4: So anytime you guys have an issue in your community,
- 51:50Speaker 4: get your girlfriends, schedule out those emails because you can
- 51:53Speaker 4: schedule it and it hits them. You want to do
- 51:55Speaker 4: it for at least two weeks because nobody misses an
- 51:58Speaker 4: email the same time.
- 51:59Speaker 5: Because I've done the 311 calls.
- 52:01Speaker 1: When they do.
- 52:01Speaker 11: Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
- 52:02Speaker 1: No, no.
- 52:02Speaker 4: We're done with that.
- 52:03Speaker 1: Okay.
- 52:03Speaker 5: Oh, okay.
- 52:05Speaker 1: All right. I think it might be Crystal.
- 52:06Speaker 4: Crystal, that's your, I think that's your city council person.
- 52:12Speaker 9: Hey, girl.
- 52:13Speaker 2: Okay.
- 52:14Speaker 1: Okay.
- 52:14Speaker 4: Okay.
- 52:15Speaker 5: We'll talk after.
- 52:16Speaker 9: I love this.
- 52:17Speaker 1: All right, great, great. I want to talk fuck shit
- 52:19Speaker 1: for 20 minutes or so. Do you want to sit around?
- 52:21Speaker 4: Yes, my love, my love, come on.
- 52:23Speaker 1: All right.
- 52:23Speaker 4: I heard you talk about JT when I was coming in.
- 52:26Speaker 1: Yes, we were.
- 52:26Speaker 4: And I'm going to have to say her track, I'm sorry, Carisha,
- 52:29Speaker 4: her track to JT, I love it. I don't fully
- 52:32Speaker 4: understand what the beef is. Come on, quick chat.
- 52:35Speaker 1: One thing I do want to say is FD Signifier,
- 52:39Speaker 1: you four-hour video-making ass- I'm going to call you a brother. No,
- 52:44Speaker 1: this shit is amazing. He made a video on YouTube
- 52:49Speaker 1: called Black Leaders That Basically Take Us The Wrong Way. Right?
- 52:57Speaker 1: And he spoke about Obama. He spoke about Oprah. He
- 53:00Speaker 1: spoke about Jay. And right now, where we at? We was...
- 53:04Speaker 1: Killer Mike. Killer Mike. And just the way that we
- 53:09Speaker 1: tend to... Certain people dress like us or talk like
- 53:13Speaker 1: us and use, you know, basically use the culture to
- 53:18Speaker 1: influence us to believe some good shit about them. But
- 53:21Speaker 1: in actuality, they're playing a different game. Although, I'm probably still,
- 53:28Speaker 1: I'm sipping the Kool-Aid, FD. I ain't gonna lie. I'm
- 53:31Speaker 1: still sipping the Kool-Aid, but I'm listening. And I appreciate
- 53:34Speaker 1: those of y'all who are making us question our realities.
- 53:39Speaker 1: What do you think about that? What do you think
- 53:40Speaker 1: about that?
- 53:41Speaker 4: You know, this is what I have to say. So
- 53:44Speaker 4: now that I'm newly.
- 53:45Speaker 1: Single, She keeps shopping herself. And she's on Tinder. Not
- 53:50Speaker 1: that I know. I don't know. I'm just saying.
- 53:55Speaker 4: Tinder's dead. I'm doing what they call dating the wild.
- 53:58Speaker 4: Dating the wild.
- 54:01Speaker 1: Is that working for you?
- 54:03Speaker 4: No, I'm chilling.
- 54:04Speaker 1: I'm good.
- 54:05Speaker 4: Right now it's elections. The only thing I'm dating is
- 54:07Speaker 4: the elections and it's politicians.
- 54:09Speaker 1: What people don't understand is that.
- 54:14Speaker 4: For you to grow financially and get into the space
- 54:17Speaker 4: of a billionaire, you change dramatically because you're exposed to
- 54:22Speaker 4: different things. So when people do see someone that looks
- 54:25Speaker 4: like them and they don't understand why they're no longer relatable,
- 54:28Speaker 4: you can't be relatable to be a billionaire. Everything about
- 54:32Speaker 4: you has to change. Now, people like Mike... What was
- 54:36Speaker 4: his name you said?
- 54:37Speaker 1: The one from... Mitch McConnell?
- 54:38Speaker 4: No, the one from Georgia.
- 54:40Speaker 1: Killer Mike.
- 54:41Speaker 4: Killer Mike. Now, he is a.
- 54:45Speaker 1: He's a sophisticated coon.
- 54:46Speaker 4: That's all I'm going to say. But I look at
- 54:48Speaker 4: people like Jay-Z and I understand that you make difficult
- 54:52Speaker 4: decisions to be in a certain space. And we often
- 54:56Speaker 4: resent that because it's like, oh, I came up with
- 54:58Speaker 4: you and now you elevated. But the only way for
- 55:01Speaker 4: you to elevate is to switch.
- 55:03Speaker 5: That's what I got to say.
- 55:05Speaker 4: Damn. I don't mess with killer brains.
- 55:08Speaker 2: Sophisticated coon.
- 55:09Speaker 9: I was going to ask you, what made you say.
- 55:11Speaker 1: She ate with that line.
- 55:12Speaker 9: What made you say that?
- 55:13Speaker 5: She ate with that line.
- 55:15Speaker 4: Um, and that's my personal opinion, right? Um, he's changed
- 55:19Speaker 4: a lot of his tunes. Killer Mike to me is
- 55:22Speaker 4: Mike Tyson, you know, out here being in Kunin for Trump.
- 55:26Speaker 4: Killer Mike to me is, um, what's the boxer that
- 55:30Speaker 4: was out with.
- 55:30Speaker 1: Trump the other day?
- 55:31Speaker 5: Floyd Mayweather.
- 55:31Speaker 4: Floyd Mayweather. Killer Mike to me is Nicki Minaj. You're
- 55:34Speaker 4: not even an American citizen, but yeah, I'm, you know.
- 55:38Speaker 1: Yo, so why believe that Killer Mike is such a
- 55:42Speaker 1: powerful entity for the black people and everybody else that's
- 55:46Speaker 1: in the know is saying no? Have you listened to
- 55:48Speaker 1: him speak? Right. I've heard the capitalists talk, especially when
- 55:52Speaker 1: watching the FD Signifier video. I saw the, yo, crazy.
- 55:57Speaker 1: When the riots were going on in Atlanta, he was
- 56:00Speaker 1: wearing a Kill the Masters shirt and he went on
- 56:04Speaker 1: to the police podium. and was like, yo, y'all got
- 56:10Speaker 1: to stop tearing down y'all neighborhoods and stop tearing down
- 56:12Speaker 1: these people's neighborhoods and shit like that. And FD Signifier
- 56:15Speaker 1: was like, This nigga got a kill the masters shirt on,
- 56:19Speaker 1: telling niggas to stop rioting. Ain't that some shit? I say, yo.
- 56:23Speaker 5: If that ain't a welcome contradiction.
- 56:25Speaker 1: But because he sounds like us, and because I believe in,
- 56:29Speaker 1: I don't know, the swag, the messaging, the emphasis, and
- 56:32Speaker 1: the tone. I don't know.
- 56:33Speaker 4: Killer Mike got swag?
- 56:34Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 56:35Speaker 1: He sounds like he got swag.
- 56:36Speaker 8: He was pushing one message for a very long time,
- 56:39Speaker 8: and then for a while now, probably in the last two,
- 56:42Speaker 8: three years, he's become a lot more conservative.
- 56:46Speaker 2: I don't know why, though.
- 56:47Speaker 7: All skin folk and kin folk. People need to recognize that.
- 56:51Speaker 7: That's the message right there.
- 56:52Speaker 1: That's the message in the Killer Mike video. It's basically
- 56:55Speaker 1: about watch the people that wear the Yankee hats and
- 56:59Speaker 1: talk with a certain vibe.
- 57:00Speaker 5: But he is them.
- 57:01Speaker 1: Obama went on the podium and he started singing like
- 57:04Speaker 1: Marvin Gaye or something before his speech. And it just
- 57:07Speaker 1: made us all believe like, oh, that's our president. And
- 57:10Speaker 1: when in all reality, he... He wasn't doing what he
- 57:16Speaker 1: should have been doing.
- 57:16Speaker 4: Right, but he wasn't able to do it.
- 57:18Speaker 1: I agree. There's a difference.
- 57:20Speaker 4: Between wanting to and they fumbled the bag because there
- 57:24Speaker 4: was a lot of things that they thought Hillary would.
- 57:26Speaker 5: Okay, let me just say this, right?
- 57:28Speaker 1: Go ahead. Save Obama. Save our big O. He good.
- 57:32Speaker 4: He don't need to be saved. Him and Michelle good.
- 57:33Speaker 1: Okay?
- 57:34Speaker 4: The energy right there is good. But anyway, we need
- 57:38Speaker 4: support of Caucasian women, right?
- 57:40Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
- 57:41Speaker 4: And what we don't talk a lot about is how
- 57:43Speaker 4: Caucasian women vote against their own well-being.
- 57:47Speaker 5: Yes, they do.
- 57:48Speaker 4: So in the case of Clinton versus Trump, the female Clinton,
- 57:52Speaker 4: they drove to Trump.
- 57:54Speaker 8: Yep.
- 57:55Speaker 4: So there was a lot of things that the Obama
- 57:57Speaker 4: administration wanted to get done and they believed Hillary was
- 58:00Speaker 4: going to win because what a lot of, not all,
- 58:02Speaker 4: what many Caucasian women do is they give you the money.
- 58:05Speaker 4: Hillary raised more money than Trump. They give you the money.
- 58:09Speaker 4: They at the rallies. But then when they go to
- 58:11Speaker 4: that booth, they vote the other way. They voted so
- 58:14Speaker 4: highly for Trump the first time.
- 58:16Speaker 11: Right.
- 58:17Speaker 4: So get off of Obama because his hands were literally tied.
- 58:22Speaker 1: I agree.
- 58:22Speaker 4: Right. And they were hoping that because they had turned
- 58:25Speaker 4: the state in the Senate. So when Hillary came, it
- 58:27Speaker 4: would be all blue. It didn't happen.
- 58:29Speaker 2: Right.
- 58:30Speaker 1: And then now.
- 58:32Speaker 4: Just to, you know, push it forward. We have to
- 58:35Speaker 4: even with Stacey Abrams and Keisha Bottoms, Keisha Bottoms and
- 58:39Speaker 4: Stacey Abrams. Right now, Georgia has the opportunity to have
- 58:43Speaker 4: a black female governor. Stacey Abrams would have won if
- 58:47Speaker 4: just six percent of Caucasian women voted for her.
- 58:49Speaker 1: Yep. Stacey got the black.
- 58:51Speaker 4: Men, the Spanish men.
- 58:52Speaker 1: Spanish men are hard to get.
- 58:54Speaker 4: She had Spanish men, black men, white men, but didn't
- 58:56Speaker 4: have Caucasian women. So if they don't get on the
- 59:00Speaker 4: right side. Now, when you think about Georgia, they have
- 59:02Speaker 4: abortion laws that are egregious. There was a black woman
- 59:04Speaker 4: in Georgia who was brain dead. They still took the baby.
- 59:07Speaker 4: The baby can't even do nothing. What? Yes. hello but
- 59:11Speaker 4: these are the laws that are being passed and they
- 59:13Speaker 4: go and they vote red they vote against their own
- 59:16Speaker 4: interest right so right now if Caucasian women not all
- 59:22Speaker 4: just vote for all women yeah yeah a thousand percent.
- 59:28Speaker 1: But they got beef with y'all They got beef with themselves. Yeah.
- 59:31Speaker 1: That's deep.
- 59:32Speaker 4: Because they don't understand how we can be so conflicted
- 59:36Speaker 4: and still move on.
- 59:37Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. Right?
- 59:38Speaker 4: You're going to bury us. You're going to put us
- 59:40Speaker 4: at the bottom. You could strip everything. Right now, 700,000
- 59:43Speaker 4: black women are out of work because they went in
- 59:46Speaker 4: and stripped DEI.
- 59:47Speaker 1: Yep.
- 59:49Speaker 4: 700,000 today.
- 59:50Speaker 5: But they're the ones who benefited from it.
- 59:51Speaker 1: They did.
- 59:52Speaker 4: Not us.
- 59:52Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
- 59:54Speaker 5: Caucasian women are the top benefiters from DEI.
- 59:57Speaker 1: I was watching some type of show. I can't remember
- 59:59Speaker 1: what it was or some news thing. And it was
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: like Caucasian women are jealous of black women because of
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: the love that they show each other. Caucasian women are
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: normally battling each other on the way up for whatever reason.
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: Whereas they see a black woman, she like compliments another
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: black woman's hair or sis, your skirt is out or
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: up or whatever it may be like. We take care
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: of each other when it comes to black women. But
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: with white women and black women, with white women and
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: white women, it's like a dog eat dog world. Like
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: they not like that with each other. So they see
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: the way we are and it becomes some sort of
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: a competition between them and us or jealousy.
- 1:00:40Speaker 5: That's resentment.
- 1:00:41Speaker 7: If you see the people around you bigging each other
- 1:00:44Speaker 7: up deep inside, you're like, damn, me and Becky don't
- 1:00:48Speaker 7: do that.
- 1:00:48Speaker 8: Right.
- 1:00:49Speaker 5: Fuck Becky.
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: But they not let into that club. They not invite
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: you to the barbecue.
- 1:00:52Speaker 7: But you don't give me a reason to say, okay,
- 1:00:54Speaker 7: you know what? I'm going to be a girl's girl
- 1:00:56Speaker 7: to you too.
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: They don't know how.
- 1:00:57Speaker 7: They don't know exactly what I was getting at. They
- 1:00:59Speaker 7: don't know how because all their life has been the
- 1:01:02Speaker 7: Mean Girls Club.
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: But they have to be accepted by their master.
- 1:01:05Speaker 4: But that's not my problem.
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: That's their thing is to be accepted. Am I right?
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: They try to be accepted by the white man. Yeah.
- 1:01:09Speaker 4: I mean, you hit the nail on the head. A
- 1:01:11Speaker 4: lot of, not every, many Caucasian women, you'll see it
- 1:01:14Speaker 4: in the South. You'll see it in certain areas. They
- 1:01:16Speaker 4: raised their daughters to come out with a trophy husband.
- 1:01:20Speaker 4: They raised their daughters to take abuse. That's why when
- 1:01:23Speaker 4: you look at Ohio... And what's happening in Ohio with
- 1:01:26Speaker 4: Vivek Ramsami, he's running for governor. And I forgot the
- 1:01:29Speaker 4: name of the woman who's running. He ran an ad
- 1:01:31Speaker 4: with her abuser.
- 1:01:34Speaker 5: Yes.
- 1:01:34Speaker 4: And white women are not flinching.
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: That's so crazy. Right? I cannot believe that. Right.
- 1:01:39Speaker 4: Because they teach them like, listen, you got to go
- 1:01:41Speaker 4: to college, get a husband. They're bred like that. If
- 1:01:44Speaker 4: you remember in Texas, 1982, 1992, the woman killed the cheerleading.
- 1:01:50Speaker 4: They're bred to compete, but then they smile at each other.
- 1:01:53Speaker 4: girl we don't do that we really need to we
- 1:01:57Speaker 4: I need her to help me come up I love
- 1:02:00Speaker 4: you so we're constantly how can we help each other
- 1:02:03Speaker 4: right for them because they are Caucasian they don't need
- 1:02:06Speaker 4: to bathe not all Just being Caucasian alone is different.
- 1:02:10Speaker 4: I'm not lying.
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: No, I was about to say that. It's your face.
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: Why you did that? You could have just said it
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: without making that face. No, no, it's true.
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: She had to put the disclaimer.
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: I was actually going to say that. She had to
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: put the... Allegedly. That shit in them.
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: That shit in they blood.
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: That's how they are.
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: That's they vibe. They can't even help it.
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: Well, then why do we... Just for the sake of
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: the conversation, then why do we kick them out of
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: the group? Why not bring the white women in?
- 1:02:34Speaker 5: No, because fuck them.
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: But then they feel that angst and then they say, well,
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: fuck her too.
- 1:02:39Speaker 7: Because if you naturally, and this is just from a
- 1:02:42Speaker 7: sisterhood standpoint, if you naturally don't know how to be
- 1:02:45Speaker 7: a sister to me, why would I bring you in?
- 1:02:48Speaker 5: You don't know.
- 1:02:49Speaker 7: You're not going to take me saying, girl, your hair
- 1:02:51Speaker 7: is messed up.
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: But she said we need them.
- 1:02:53Speaker 4: We need them for voting. I need you to vote
- 1:02:55Speaker 4: for all.
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: We need them for voting.
- 1:02:58Speaker 4: Because the abortion laws in Texas, Georgia, and they're bringing
- 1:03:02Speaker 4: back hanging. When I hear black people, I'm moving to Texas,
- 1:03:07Speaker 4: I'm like, what's your black child?
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: Ridiculous.
- 1:03:11Speaker 4: So when you have white women that are on their
- 1:03:13Speaker 4: deathbed carrying stillbirths, so you're voting for all. I need
- 1:03:19Speaker 4: you outside of that. Because when in the corporate world,
- 1:03:23Speaker 4: white men promote black women, not white women. Every leader
- 1:03:28Speaker 4: I've had has been a white man that has pushed me.
- 1:03:32Speaker 4: But a white woman, oh no, she going to make
- 1:03:34Speaker 4: sure you stay right there.
- 1:03:35Speaker 5: Because it's the jealousy.
- 1:03:36Speaker 4: They don't care.
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: They see a good worker. Why does a white man
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: want to push you?
- 1:03:40Speaker 4: Because that's the master.
- 1:03:41Speaker 5: That's who's in charge.
- 1:03:42Speaker 4: There you go. It's master too. It's like white men,
- 1:03:45Speaker 4: not all, some... They still have a savior complex. I'm
- 1:03:49Speaker 4: not even going to lie to you.
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: Come on now.
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: Right?
- 1:03:51Speaker 4: They have a savior complex. So moving us up, when
- 1:03:55Speaker 4: we work, we show up. There's no bullshit. There's none
- 1:03:58Speaker 4: of that. We're not giving you no kickback.
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: You're not like the rest of them? No.
- 1:04:02Speaker 4: There's a difference.
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: It's morality though, too though. It's morality.
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: Hat man. What do you mean?
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: Like they feel better. It helps their morale.
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:04:12Speaker 4: It's like, okay.
- 1:04:13Speaker 5: We know that our people violated you for slavery, but
- 1:04:16Speaker 5: you know what? I'm going to put you in this position. See,
- 1:04:19Speaker 5: I did my good deed. I have three black friends.
- 1:04:21Speaker 5: I'm not racist. It's that same kind of concept.
- 1:04:24Speaker 8: White people, and listen, and this is me now getting
- 1:04:29Speaker 8: into a different stratosphere of this like hospitality shit.
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 1:04:34Speaker 8: The way white people love to, you know how like
- 1:04:37Speaker 8: men explain to women like mansplained? White people have a
- 1:04:41Speaker 8: white spleen to them. And they got like, no, no, no, no.
- 1:04:45Speaker 8: I see what you're doing. Can we do it this way?
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: Right.
- 1:04:49Speaker 4: Non-combative.
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: That's their shit. Like, they love that shit.
- 1:04:54Speaker 4: They love that shit.
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: No, no. They love that shit.
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: And I was just having this conversation with my friend.
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: I'm like, yo, I don't know if I could do
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: this for so long.
- 1:05:02Speaker 8: Because if another Blanco tell me what to fucking do.
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: Not Blanco.
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: And I know what I'm doing.
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what you're doing.
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: But you telling me what to do just because I'm
- 1:05:12Speaker 2: not doing it your way?
- 1:05:13Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
- 1:05:14Speaker 8: If they tell me again what to do, I'm going
- 1:05:19Speaker 8: to go off.
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: You could do it. Let me tell you.
- 1:05:20Speaker 4: So my other career, I realized. So I was working
- 1:05:24Speaker 4: in a big corporation doing news on the side. And
- 1:05:27Speaker 4: it was hell for me. Because I was like, I
- 1:05:30Speaker 4: know what I'm doing. I know what I'm doing. So
- 1:05:31Speaker 4: I said, you know, we're going to switch this up.
- 1:05:33Speaker 4: So the next corporation I went to, I don't know anything, Bill,
- 1:05:36Speaker 4: can you?
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 1:05:39Speaker 4: I was number one for three years straight because my
- 1:05:42Speaker 4: whole strategy was like, Bill, I don't.
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: Know what they're doing. It's If any black person's watching. Yep.
- 1:05:49Speaker 5: If you want to move to the top.
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: You're saying feed into it.
- 1:05:52Speaker 4: Feed it.
- 1:05:52Speaker 5: Play the game. I don't understand.
- 1:05:54Speaker 4: Could you clarify? I'm telling you because naturally they see
- 1:05:58Speaker 4: you and they think you're a threat. But when you
- 1:06:01Speaker 4: come in like, how do you think I know about
- 1:06:02Speaker 4: the sweet mubs?
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: So, you know what?
- 1:06:04Speaker 4: I don't really know.
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: Can you teach me?
- 1:06:06Speaker 4: Maybe she was on cloud nine.
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: They love that shit.
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: She gave me the wrong....
- 1:06:13Speaker 4: Can you help me with this process?
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: Y'all hilarious.
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: So wait, wait.
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question.
- 1:06:17Speaker 5: But that's why they do the things they do.
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: Does that work better for black women or black men?
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: It works for everyone.
- 1:06:21Speaker 5: Yes, it does. Just play stupid.
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: Y'all high key? I don't think our egos would allow
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: us to do that. No, no.
- 1:06:29Speaker 8: But I love that she said that because I did
- 1:06:32Speaker 8: ask two black women that were there for a while.
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: I went to them and I was like, yo, separately.
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: I was like, yo, tell me.
- 1:06:41Speaker 8: How I could maneuver around this setting. Like, while trying
- 1:06:45Speaker 8: to stay me without being.
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: What's the word? What's the word I'm looking for? Like,
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: will we do it?
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: Assertive?
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: No, no.
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: Passive? Switching code?
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: Code switching. Without code switching, she had to tell me, like,
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: real shit, you're going to have to code switch. Low key. Like,
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: you got to low key.
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: What we always have.
- 1:07:08Speaker 4: Yeah, but I think the biggest lie.
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: To me, it's fucked.
- 1:07:11Speaker 6: No, it's not.
- 1:07:12Speaker 4: It's not. The biggest lie you were ever told, outside
- 1:07:15Speaker 4: of going to college is the way to success, the
- 1:07:17Speaker 4: biggest lie you were ever told was, be yourself. No,
- 1:07:19Speaker 4: you be what they need.
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: I don't know about that.
- 1:07:23Speaker 4: That was a bar right there.
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: You want money?
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: That was a bar.
- 1:07:25Speaker 4: You want to be right and broke, or you want
- 1:07:27Speaker 4: to be humble and rich?
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: Yep.
- 1:07:29Speaker 4: That was a bar. You think Jay-Z's out there flexing? No, he's...
- 1:07:34Speaker 4: So how did you get that? How did you come
- 1:07:36Speaker 4: to that idea?
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:07:37Speaker 4: When Jay-Z was bringing LeBron to New York, he met
- 1:07:40Speaker 4: with rabbi. There's a really big rabbi that you don't
- 1:07:44Speaker 4: get nothing done unless you pass this rabbi. And most recently,
- 1:07:47Speaker 4: Kanye went to this rabbi for forgiveness. I can't remember
- 1:07:49Speaker 4: his name. But Jay-Z brought that rabbi to the table.
- 1:07:53Speaker 4: You think Jay-Z met that rabbi that blesses everybody's money
- 1:07:56Speaker 4: by going, I'm Jay-Z. No, he was like, how can
- 1:07:58Speaker 4: I get my spiritual guidance?
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: You got to. Yeah.
- 1:08:01Speaker 5: Sometimes you got to bite the bullet. Sometimes you got to.
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: That's tough. I don't like that.
- 1:08:05Speaker 5: It is, but sometimes you got to.
- 1:08:06Speaker 2: You don't like that.
- 1:08:08Speaker 7: But to get far, you got to play the long game.
- 1:08:10Speaker 7: You can't do this on some, oh, but I'm going
- 1:08:12Speaker 7: to get this today. Yeah, I could bully you, but
- 1:08:14Speaker 7: in the long run, if I played a long game
- 1:08:17Speaker 7: with you, hey, Bill.
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: How'd you.
- 1:08:20Speaker 5: I just want to have a conversation.
- 1:08:21Speaker 7: Sometimes you got to humble yourself. To get where you
- 1:08:24Speaker 7: want to go, you got to play the long game.
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: I don't like the word humble, though.
- 1:08:27Speaker 5: But it is what it is.
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: Even in school. Is that aligning with the word obedient?
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: Is that why they call them Bill like that?
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: It's not obedient.
- 1:08:33Speaker 8: Well, no, because humble, the definition of humble is to
- 1:08:37Speaker 8: think lower of yourself.
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: No. It is.
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: Look it up. It's a fact. The definition of humble
- 1:08:43Speaker 2: is to think low of yourself, babe.
- 1:08:46Speaker 5: Well, guess what?
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: Pretend.
- 1:08:47Speaker 11: Right.
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: I can pretend.
- 1:08:49Speaker 5: You want to cry in this Benz or you want
- 1:08:52Speaker 5: to cry in that Civic?
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: See, but like, that's tough, y'all. I feel like that's... That, then.
- 1:08:58Speaker 9: Humble, I'm sorry.
- 1:08:59Speaker 5: You want to cry in this Rolls Royce or you
- 1:09:01Speaker 5: want to cry on the bus stop? You let me
- 1:09:02Speaker 5: know what you want to do.
- 1:09:04Speaker 9: I'm sorry.
- 1:09:04Speaker 11: Humble means not proud, modest, or unpretentious, or low in rank,
- 1:09:09Speaker 11: important status or quality.
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: Exactly. But it also means lacking grandness, luxury, or high cost.
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: What I mean is you ain't got to be like
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: So egotistical, humble means like, you know what? I let
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: my blessings come. I know who I am. I ain't
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: got to be so weak.
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: Right, you don't have to be out there. To me,
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: it's just like, chill out. I'm not saying that.
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: I agree with that.
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: Don't be arrogant.
- 1:09:33Speaker 7: Right, that's what I think humble is. I don't think
- 1:09:35Speaker 7: not chill out. You can still pop your shit and
- 1:09:37Speaker 7: still be humble. I know who I am. I know
- 1:09:40Speaker 7: I'm that girl. But sometimes you got to be like,
- 1:09:42Speaker 7: you know what? Sis, can you just show me how
- 1:09:45Speaker 7: you did your hair? Simple things like that will instantly
- 1:09:49Speaker 7: get somebody to want to put you on game because they're.
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: Like, oh, they're not arrogant.
- 1:09:53Speaker 5: You got to play the game.
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: Tell me why you don't like it.
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: I don't like it as a black man because our
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: women are looking to us for strength. And so the
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: idea of us lowering ourselves... It doesn't feel good as
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: a black man to have to do that to support
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: your family. You kind of got to cower in front
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: of the master to get in so that you can
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: feed your family and then you go home. I don't
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: like it.
- 1:10:27Speaker 5: But why are you looking at it as you are being,
- 1:10:30Speaker 5: you're considering yourself.
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: That's how she did it. No, no, no, no. She's like, hey,
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: can you help? It was a cowering. Hey, can you
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: help me? I'm a woman. I'm a woman.
- 1:10:36Speaker 4: Listen, I can do that to anyone.
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: You can do it with a masculine way to go, hey,
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: can you help me? No, hey, I like, yes, that is.
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: That ass.
- 1:10:42Speaker 9: Yo, Bill.
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: Be yourself.
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:10:44Speaker 7: But you don't have to, you know that you are
- 1:10:46Speaker 7: that guy, right, Tahoe? You know that when you step outside, yeah,
- 1:10:50Speaker 7: I'm that man.
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: I mean, I've earned it.
- 1:10:51Speaker 9: Okay, okay.
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: But before earning it, I didn't.
- 1:10:55Speaker 5: Okay, but what I'm saying to you is this.
- 1:10:57Speaker 7: You can go outside and meet somebody who can unlock
- 1:11:01Speaker 7: the wildest of your dreams and literally just approaching them
- 1:11:04Speaker 7: instead of being.
- 1:11:04Speaker 5: Like, yo, I'm Tahoe, what's up? Hey, how you doing, y'all?
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: Yes, I do that.
- 1:11:08Speaker 5: Okay, to me, that's you being humble.
- 1:11:10Speaker 7: You approaching a situation in a certain light where you're
- 1:11:13Speaker 7: not exuding, yeah, I'm that guy.
- 1:11:16Speaker 5: You are that guy.
- 1:11:17Speaker 7: We know that behind closed doors is all hail King Tahoe.
- 1:11:20Speaker 7: But when you step outside in certain... All right, yo.
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: All hail. All right. You like that, right? All right.
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: I'm working with a dude last night. Thank you, baby.
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: All right, you're welcome. I'm working with a dude last night.
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: I got him beating seniority at my job. I got
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: him beating seniority. But because I know he likes to drive,
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: I let him drive.
- 1:11:38Speaker 4: Go ahead.
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: There you go. Right? But hold on. So now, every
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: time we pull up to a stop, he's like, yo,
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: you got to get that right there. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: So I'm like, all right, so I go get it, whatever.
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: It's no problem.
- 1:11:51Speaker 4: Right?
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: I got you beat by two years. But it's no problem.
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: Go ahead. By the end of the night, I said, yo,
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: stop telling me what to do. Stop telling me... There's
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: only been so long. I'm going to be humble.
- 1:12:04Speaker 5: There's nothing wrong with that.
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: I'm not going to be able to play that game
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: but for so long.
- 1:12:08Speaker 5: But she's not saying to let them kick you while you...
- 1:12:10Speaker 5: You know what I mean? You set the boundary. Hey,
- 1:12:13Speaker 5: you know what?
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: No problem. You want to drive?
- 1:12:14Speaker 5: Go ahead. But just so you know, my boy, we both.
- 1:12:17Speaker 7: Get on this motherfucker and go pick up what we
- 1:12:19Speaker 7: got to pick up and we get back in. Now,
- 1:12:21Speaker 7: if you want to drive all night, that's your business.
- 1:12:22Speaker 7: I'm going to take a nap in between every single pickup.
- 1:12:24Speaker 5: Yeah, that's fine. But you're not going to think that you're...
- 1:12:27Speaker 5: We're equal, right?
- 1:12:28Speaker 4: We both.
- 1:12:29Speaker 5: Yeah, I have seniority, fine. We're both in the same position.
- 1:12:32Speaker 5: We both work for the same department.
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: At the end of the day, the king and the
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: pawn go in the same box.
- 1:12:36Speaker 4: The thing that I tell a lot of black people,
- 1:12:38Speaker 4: and you're going to cut that other one thing out, right?
- 1:12:40Speaker 4: I wasn't kidding.
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: I was kidding.
- 1:12:42Speaker 4: You're going to cut that thing out for me?
- 1:12:43Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: Okay, cool.
- 1:12:44Speaker 4: The thing that I tell black people that I had
- 1:12:46Speaker 4: to learn. Yeah, I mean, I may.
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: Have to put that in writing.
- 1:12:50Speaker 4: But the thing that I tell black people I had
- 1:12:52Speaker 4: to learn is the hard way, right? It literally took
- 1:12:54Speaker 4: me 20 years to learn. We have a way of
- 1:12:57Speaker 4: just showing up. And showing up sets a tone. These
- 1:13:02Speaker 4: many people, not all, many people have high insecurity.
- 1:13:08Speaker 5: Right.
- 1:13:08Speaker 4: So when you just say, you know, you do things
- 1:13:11Speaker 4: in a different manner, it's not to belittle you. It's
- 1:13:14Speaker 4: just really to set a different tone in the environment
- 1:13:17Speaker 4: because they already are intimidated of you.
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: Right.
- 1:13:20Speaker 4: So you got to restructure that and understand that every environment,
- 1:13:25Speaker 4: there's work environments, there's culture. We literally come from two
- 1:13:30Speaker 4: different cultures. In our culture, we celebrate the loudness, the pride,
- 1:13:35Speaker 4: you know, the dancing. For them, it's like no nails.
- 1:13:39Speaker 4: There's a whole thing right now on the Internet. I'm sorry,
- 1:13:41Speaker 4: I digress.
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: Where.
- 1:13:43Speaker 4: Many Caucasian women are doing bare nails because, you know,
- 1:13:47Speaker 4: they feel like it's too much when nail art is
- 1:13:50Speaker 4: our culture.
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: Absolutely.
- 1:13:51Speaker 4: Right? So you just being and breathing is everything.
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: It sets the tone. Yeah.
- 1:13:58Speaker 4: But now you've given them a space where they don't
- 1:14:00Speaker 4: have to think like, oh, he know everything. He don't
- 1:14:02Speaker 4: need me. All right, whatever.
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: You know?
- 1:14:04Speaker 4: So don't ever feel like you're diminishing yourself. You being there,
- 1:14:08Speaker 4: trust me, says everything without words. Right.
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: All right, guys.
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: I got five minutes left.
- 1:14:18Speaker 5: Here go the bullshit.
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: First of all, B, I love you. I just told
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: my producer.
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: Can we have her back?
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: Absolutely. Can she come talk to shit with us every
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: once in a while? I'd love to if you'd love
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: to come. Absolutely. I love chatting.
- 1:14:29Speaker 4: I love running my mouth.
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: I love her. I want to help platform her as
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: much as we can. The information is vital. Yeah.
- 1:14:37Speaker 5: That's what we need to.
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: Do for each other. You know what I mean? It's...
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: It's just, it's one of those things when you form
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: a community, like we have to support our people. You
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: know what I'm saying?
- 1:14:47Speaker 7: And these are the type of people we need to
- 1:14:49Speaker 7: support and we need to showcase instead of the BS
- 1:14:51Speaker 7: stuff that I'll be seeing.
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: I do have a BS stuff. Oh boy. Here we are.
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: But the wife, the wife sent it and I want
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: her to feel valued.
- 1:15:01Speaker 5: If it's from wifey, we can- I want.
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: Her to feel valued and I didn't agree with her.
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: We actually, it wasn't a, we had a debate. We'll
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: bring it to the forefront. JD, listen, I'm going to
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: need your help. Don't do that thing you do where
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: you go, no, I understand where they're coming from. Don't
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: do that. No, shit.
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: Don't side with black women. Yeah, right.
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: Don't side with black women right now.
- 1:15:24Speaker 9: All right, my bad.
- 1:15:25Speaker 4: No hats.
- 1:15:26Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 1:15:27Speaker 10: So there's a new ladies, which would you choose, man
- 1:15:32Speaker 10: or bear question right now circulating online.
- 1:15:36Speaker 3: And it goes a little something like this.
- 1:15:38Speaker 10: Ladies, if you woke up the next day and realized
- 1:15:43Speaker 10: that you were the last woman on earth amongst all
- 1:15:47Speaker 10: of men, what would you do?
- 1:15:49Speaker 3: A lot of men are not.
- 1:15:53Speaker 10: Really pleased with a lot of the answers that the
- 1:15:56Speaker 10: women have been leaving because every single woman that I
- 1:16:00Speaker 10: have seen comment on that question said, That they would
- 1:16:06Speaker 10: get rid of themselves.
- 1:16:08Speaker 3: Self-deletion. They would go see the man upstairs.
- 1:16:13Speaker 10: And then they even doubled down on that answer and
- 1:16:15Speaker 10: said that they would do it in a way where
- 1:16:17Speaker 10: you could not recover their body because.
- 1:16:19Speaker 3: We know what men do with corpses. See, men don't
- 1:16:24Speaker 3: understand how scary they are, how dangerous it is to
- 1:16:28Speaker 3: live among them.
- 1:16:30Speaker 10: How they are not protectors and providers, which is why
- 1:16:33Speaker 10: if I was a woman and I was the last
- 1:16:35Speaker 10: one on earth, I.
- 1:16:36Speaker 3: Wouldn't feel protection or provided for.
- 1:16:39Speaker 10: I would fear for my life because we understand that
- 1:16:42Speaker 10: that question.
- 1:16:43Speaker 3: In the inverse.
- 1:16:44Speaker 10: And if it was a man who was the last
- 1:16:46Speaker 10: man on earth amongst a whole bunch of women, he
- 1:16:49Speaker 10: would be in heaven. He would be exactly where he
- 1:16:54Speaker 10: wanted to be. He would thrive.
- 1:16:55Speaker 5: Don't worry, we getting there.
- 1:16:58Speaker 10: Switch it back, and it's the last woman amongst a
- 1:17:02Speaker 10: whole bunch of men. She was going to be dead
- 1:17:04Speaker 10: by the next morning anyway. Might as well do herself
- 1:17:08Speaker 10: the justice and take herself out.
- 1:17:11Speaker 3: And that's the thing, is.
- 1:17:14Speaker 10: That women across the world would have the same answer.
- 1:17:17Speaker 3: To that question, and men can't fathom why.
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: All right.
- 1:17:21Speaker 3: Because they never.
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: All right. I'm stopping. What do you mean? She cooked it.
- 1:17:27Speaker 9: He went to school.
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: He has a degree in women's studies. Oh, I love him.
- 1:17:30Speaker 1: He already got one JD over there.
- 1:17:32Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
- 1:17:34Speaker 11: No, I'm saying she was cooking. Listen, if I woke
- 1:17:36Speaker 11: up and all the women was gone, I might do
- 1:17:37Speaker 11: that too. To be honest with you. Or just all men?
- 1:17:41Speaker 11: For me to live in a world with all men?
- 1:17:42Speaker 2: Oh, you might let go.
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to.
- 1:17:45Speaker 6: Yeah, me.
- 1:17:45Speaker 5: I'm out of here.
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: I'm out of here, guys.
- 1:17:47Speaker 4: I'm out of here.
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: Why did I go with her? Nah. I don't know.
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: I'm good.
- 1:17:53Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm good.
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting that, but I hear you.
- 1:17:57Speaker 4: I hear you.
- 1:17:59Speaker 8: For the sake of conversation, I want to entertain it, though.
- 1:18:02Speaker 8: But I literally hate this conversation. I hate that man
- 1:18:07Speaker 8: versus beer conversation.
- 1:18:10Speaker 5: We choosing the bear.
- 1:18:11Speaker 1: Not yet.
- 1:18:11Speaker 2: But like, hold on. I don't like men.
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: Right? Me neither.
- 1:18:17Speaker 2: I like mine. That's about it.
- 1:18:19Speaker 8: Not even just on like some sexuality shit.
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: No, of course. It's just.
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: I think... What? No, no. I'm saying.
- 1:18:27Speaker 4: I want clarification.
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: I get it. I get it. No, no.
- 1:18:29Speaker 8: I'm saying like men are not good individuals depending. But
- 1:18:36Speaker 8: like humans are humans. Like, regardless, there's some pretty shitty women, too.
- 1:18:42Speaker 5: Oh, a thousand percent.
- 1:18:43Speaker 2: You get what I'm saying? so like the conversation.
- 1:18:46Speaker 8: You not gonna fucking pick a fucking beer let's just
- 1:18:50Speaker 8: be real you ain't gonna go with a beer you
- 1:18:52Speaker 8: rather be in a house a beer is here a
- 1:18:57Speaker 8: beer no no no let's be realistic I'm asking you
- 1:19:00Speaker 8: as well a beer is in this motherfucking crib right
- 1:19:04Speaker 8: here it's in a studio with you right here it's
- 1:19:07Speaker 8: just you with this beer you with the beer Or
- 1:19:11Speaker 8: it's you and a man.
- 1:19:13Speaker 5: How many men?
- 1:19:14Speaker 2: One.
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: Okay, no, no.
- 1:19:16Speaker 2: Matter of fact, actually, let's go equate with the beer strength.
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: Right.
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: Okay, that's fair.
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: I like this.
- 1:19:23Speaker 2: Ten niggas in here.
- 1:19:24Speaker 5: I'm going with the beer.
- 1:19:26Speaker 4: I'm going with the men. I think the question, in
- 1:19:31Speaker 4: all honesty, exposes the psychological things that someone's been through.
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: I've had great. I had a great father. I have
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: great brothers. I have great uncles. I love this.
- 1:19:42Speaker 4: I'm going to go for the men. If I woke
- 1:19:44Speaker 4: up and it was only men, child be like.
- 1:19:46Speaker 7: So I see what you're saying, but I'm thinking of...
- 1:19:53Speaker 7: And I've had some traumatic things happen to me. I'm
- 1:19:56Speaker 7: thinking of the way that men act... as a whole,
- 1:20:00Speaker 7: if you're the only, you're the last piece of cooch
- 1:20:03Speaker 7: on earth.
- 1:20:04Speaker 4: See, my brain didn't even go there. No, that's what I,
- 1:20:07Speaker 4: and see, and that's how, that's what these things show.
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: Right.
- 1:20:10Speaker 4: So these women. My brain is thinking, I'm going to
- 1:20:11Speaker 4: have a house built. Somebody going to get some fire.
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: You're going to be the queen. We got some jerk chicken.
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: You're going to be the queen. They're going to serve you.
- 1:20:16Speaker 4: I never even thought about sexual.
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: Right.
- 1:20:18Speaker 5: But instantly, so I can see what you're saying in
- 1:20:21Speaker 5: that aspect.
- 1:20:22Speaker 7: But for me, I'm thinking of that because you're the
- 1:20:25Speaker 7: last piece of cooch upon the earth. And you mean
- 1:20:27Speaker 7: to tell me, Him, him, him, not going to try
- 1:20:30Speaker 7: to kill my husband to get to me.
- 1:20:31Speaker 5: Because men, men will do that.
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: But you think it's seven billion, it's so, what, it's
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: seven billion niggas.
- 1:20:38Speaker 5: You're the last piece of coochie on earth and they're
- 1:20:39Speaker 5: trying to get you?
- 1:20:40Speaker 2: I might have missed that. Did she say that? She
- 1:20:42Speaker 2: was the last person?
- 1:20:43Speaker 7: Yeah, she said she's the only, but she's the only,
- 1:20:46Speaker 7: she's the only woman on earth.
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: Yeah, I get that part. And she's trying to, but
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: it might be fashionable. Like, it might be, it might
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: be fun. Like, what?
- 1:20:54Speaker 3: Like, girl.
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: You're going to get ran, you're going to get seven
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: billion niggas?
- 1:20:59Speaker 4: I'm not saying to sleep with all the men. I'm
- 1:21:01Speaker 4: just saying, like, no, like, let's be adults. Let's bring
- 1:21:04Speaker 4: it down.
- 1:21:04Speaker 5: It could go a nice way.
- 1:21:07Speaker 4: I just feel like it could.
- 1:21:08Speaker 1: Right. It could. Right.
- 1:21:13Speaker 7: But my stance on it is men do the.
- 1:21:18Speaker 5: I love her. We got to bring her back.
