Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: All right, guys, here we are, last break of the
- 0:02Speaker 1: day on this Wednesday. We've had a fun day today,
- 0:06Speaker 1: Yeah we have. Yeah, it's been fun. Hey, you know
- 0:10Speaker 1: what I want to talk about something. Okay, Look, I'm
- 0:15Speaker 1: not a representative of black people, and I understand that,
- 0:21Speaker 1: but these are my clothes with me marks. You know,
- 0:25Speaker 1: I'm not a representative of black people. I've not been
- 0:29Speaker 1: elected to be a spokesperson. But I've been black for
- 0:33Speaker 1: a long time and I'm keenly aware of my blackness.
- 0:38Speaker 1: It has never escaped me, not for a single moment.
- 0:42Speaker 1: And it's not that I haven't wanted it to, or
- 0:46Speaker 1: not that I desire to. It's just that I've never
- 0:49Speaker 1: been allowed. I've never been allowed in the United States
- 0:53Speaker 1: of America to forget that I'm black. I don't have
- 0:57Speaker 1: that luxury. You know. The only time I've don't feel
- 1:00Speaker 1: this way is when I'm in the Middle East or
- 1:02Speaker 1: when I'm in Africa. Then and only then do I
- 1:06Speaker 1: get to wake up in the morning and feel what
- 1:08Speaker 1: it feels like not to be a minority, an amazing feeling.
- 1:13Speaker 1: I wish you all could understand what that feels like.
- 1:17Speaker 1: But see the thing that I wish could happen is
- 1:19Speaker 1: that will never happen. Is is that people who are
- 1:23Speaker 1: not minorities could understand what it would be like. But
- 1:25Speaker 1: that's an impossibility. It's just not possible. It's impossible for
- 1:31Speaker 1: you to know what that feels like. Now, I will
- 1:35Speaker 1: admit there are sympathizers, and there are people out there
- 1:38Speaker 1: who are willing to help and try to understand, and
- 1:42Speaker 1: those people are applaued and recognized that they do exist.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Slavery did not end because black people wanted it to end,
- 1:49Speaker 1: because every black person didn't want slavery. No man will
- 1:53Speaker 1: want slavery for himself, so you had to have some
- 1:56Speaker 1: good willed, non slaves, white people who helped assisting that.
- 2:01Speaker 1: So there's always been a good side to this thing.
- 2:05Speaker 1: But what's happening in our government today it needs everybody's
- 2:09Speaker 1: attention because this government is not designed. They have tricked
- 2:14Speaker 1: you on a level that you didn't see coming. And
- 2:18Speaker 1: now you got all these letters coming from these Trump
- 2:21Speaker 1: supporters who are upset because they voted for Trump and
- 2:26Speaker 1: they lost their job. I just want to remind you,
- 2:31Speaker 1: did you really think when he was campaigning that he
- 2:35Speaker 1: was talking about you. Did you really think that these
- 2:41Speaker 1: tax cuts. He was talking about what's gonna be for you?
- 2:46Speaker 1: Did you really think these jobs he promised to add,
- 2:51Speaker 1: did you think he was going to add them for you?
- 2:56Speaker 1: Because he never mentioned that he was going to take jobs.
- 3:00Speaker 1: We told you all when he was campaigning that he
- 3:02Speaker 1: was gonna live up to Project twenty twenty five. He
- 3:06Speaker 1: never told you that he was gonna bring Elon Musk along.
- 3:10Speaker 1: He never told you that. But that was the plan
- 3:14Speaker 1: all along. And so now you got to buckle up.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Here's the understanding that black people have. And once again,
- 3:27Speaker 1: I'm not your spokesperson. I don't claim to be, but
- 3:31Speaker 1: I have been black for sixty eight years, and we
- 3:35Speaker 1: already know what it's like not to have programs. We
- 3:39Speaker 1: already know what it's like to have programs taken, you know,
- 3:44Speaker 1: for you all to come in and rebuff teaching black
- 3:47Speaker 1: studies in school, y'all wasn't trying to teach him in
- 3:49Speaker 1: the first place. They don't even teach black studies in
- 3:52Speaker 1: white schools. They don't have black history in white schools.
- 3:56Speaker 1: You thought that taking the DEI was gonna hurt us
- 3:59Speaker 1: and everybody for that, Well, y'alls too, because DEI really
- 4:02Speaker 1: affected majority of white women Black people are number five
- 4:06Speaker 1: or number six on the list of being the benefactor
- 4:09Speaker 1: of DEI. So they fool y'all with that too. They
- 4:14Speaker 1: tricked you from the outset. They told you they was
- 4:18Speaker 1: gonna bring down the price of eggs. Eggs is ten
- 4:20Speaker 1: dollars a dozen. It just kept telling you stuff. But
- 4:25Speaker 1: what they didn't tell you that he was going to
- 4:28Speaker 1: pay back all those billionaire donors, the Bezos, the Targets,
- 4:34Speaker 1: the Walmarts, the elin Musk, all of them had to
- 4:39Speaker 1: get paid back for making their contributions. So the things
- 4:43Speaker 1: that's happening right now is benefiting the rich and wealthy.
- 4:48Speaker 1: And if you think for one minute that you are
- 4:50Speaker 1: going to be a benefactor of that, you are sadly mistaken.
- 4:54Speaker 1: So now here comes all the letters from all of
- 4:57Speaker 1: the Here comes all of the letters from all of
- 5:01Speaker 1: the Trump supporters, and it ain't working. It's not working.
- 5:06Speaker 1: And so now you thought this was going to be
- 5:09Speaker 1: for you, it's not. Trump is for the wealthy once again.
- 5:14Speaker 1: It's okay for us us who have been denied, y'all
- 5:19Speaker 1: can rebuff the Civil Rights Voting Act because you never
- 5:22Speaker 1: wanted us to have it anyway. And you never acted
- 5:25Speaker 1: like we had it. You can rebuff affirmative action and
- 5:29Speaker 1: make it official because you all have unofficially been doing
- 5:32Speaker 1: it all along. Anyway, you can pardon all the people
- 5:36Speaker 1: that climbed over the wall and rided on January sixth
- 5:40Speaker 1: because he considered a support for him. This ain't about you.
- 5:44Speaker 1: He said he loved the police, but he released all
- 5:47Speaker 1: the people that hurt the policeman. Are y'all kidding me?
- 5:51Speaker 1: He told you he loved veterans, just the same dude
- 5:54Speaker 1: that refused to serve. And now veterans are losing jobs
- 5:58Speaker 1: and benefits at an alarm rate. Talking about we gotta
- 6:03Speaker 1: shave the fat off the government. What he didn't tell
- 6:06Speaker 1: you was the fat mint you. Why don't you have
- 6:10Speaker 1: you seen a congressman or a senator that have lost
- 6:13Speaker 1: their jobs. They make a lot of money, they fat.
- 6:17Speaker 1: They ain't cutting none of that fat. Now the fat
- 6:19Speaker 1: they cutting is you. Welcome to the Trump era. Congratulations,
- 6:25Speaker 1: that's who you voted for, and that's who we got,
- 6:28Speaker 1: and we gonna be just fine because it's pretty much
- 6:31Speaker 1: more of the same for us. Those are my closes
- 6:34Speaker 1: the remarks. Listen, have yourself a great day to day.
