  Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: border and families will be protected.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security Bill Ackman.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: We posted this on Instagram, and this is relicous because
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: this is a financial This is a financial conversation. So
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Harvard Harvard, there's thirty Harvard student groups that signed an
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: open letter. I'll read some of the open letters. So
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: this is the open letter that Harvard students, some of
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: the Harvard students put together and some of the hardest
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Harvard students group signed. Today's events. This is when it
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: first happened, when the attack on Israel first happened, right
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: on the from the Hamas on Hamas offensive. Today's events
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: did not occur in a vacuum. For the last two decades,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: millions of Palestinians in Gaza have been forced to live
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: in an open air prison. Is really officials promise to
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: open the floodgates of Hell, and the massacre in Gaza
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: has already already convinced Palestinians and guys that have no
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: shelter for refuge and nowhere to escape. In the coming days,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Palestinians will be forced to bear the full blunt of
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Israel's violence. The apartheid regime only is the only one
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: to blame. Israeli violence has structured every aspect of Palestinian's
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: existence for seventy five years, from systemizing systematically land seizures
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: to routine airstrikes, arbitrary detensions to military checkpoints and enforcing
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: family separations and targeting killings. Palestinians have been forced to
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: live in a state of death, both slow and sudden.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: This is what some Harvard they put that out right.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Bill Ackman, who is a billionaire and one of the
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: most powerful people on Wall Street, he responded on Twitter
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: very upset about the I don't know if he went
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: to Harvard or not, but he was very upset about
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: what the Harvard, what those Harvard students had to say,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: and he in response said that he wanted to get
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the names. He pushed Harvard to release the names of
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: the students that were responsible for those words quote none
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: of us inadvertently hire any of their members. So he
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: said that he wanted to make sure that no Wall
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Street firms and indvertently hired any of the students, essentially
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: saying that he wanted the names of Harvard students so
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: he can make sure that they would never get.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Hired on Wall Street.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Now, this is extremely controversial because obviously it walks on
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: freedom of speech, right with what this country has founded on,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: and even the ex Harvard president was concerned about this
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: and said it seems like McCarthyism. This was when everybody
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: was scared to be called the communists, right, and if
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: you if you were labeled a communist, then your whole
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: career would just be black ball. So this is extremely
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: relevant because this show is called Market Mondays and we
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: talk about the stock market, and Bill Ackman is one
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: of the most powerful.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: People on Wall Street, hedge fund, stock market.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: So I think it's interesting because he didn't say that
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: he was going to just make sure that they never
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: worked for his company. He said that he was going
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: to make sure that none of us us. He worried
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: us inadvertently. Its meaning that they're already not going to
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: get hired if they know for sure, but they just
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: want to make sure that they're not making you know,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: they they want to He wants to make sure that
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: none of us.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: So what this is saying is that.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: He he's speaking by us, you means any Wall Street firm, Goldman, Sachs,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: you name it.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: So interesting that he would say this publicly, and this
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: has caused a lot of controversy in the news. So
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: I think that this is important on a few different
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: aspects of it. A from the media standpoint, because if
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: you read, if you heard what I just said, those
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: are just the words. I think it's important for media
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: to be non biased, and we live in a day
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: and age where there is really no media that is
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: non biased or religi is non biased. But for the
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: most part, none of these major media corporations are biased,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: are non biased. And even how they framed the letter
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: from the Harvard students, a lot of media publications deemed
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: it as pro Hamas. They never even mentioned Hamas at all,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: And like I said, this isn't I'm not even taking
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: a side of the Harvard students, but I'm just we
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: just have to be factual, right, They never they never
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: said that they were pro Hamas. They were obviously anti Israel.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: That's a fair statement to say, but even the word
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: the way that it has been framed is not actually
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: factually true. The problem with the media is that nobody
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: really ever checks the media. So if you just say, okay,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: thirty Harvard students put out a pro Hamas, pro terrorist letter,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: well you're playing, you're playing with semantics and you're playing
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: with words. And now before because hardly anybody, I'm sure
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: he hasn't even read the letter. So before you even
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: read the letter, you're already going into it with a
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: tainted view. I'm assuming Bill Akiman read it because he's
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: an intelligent person, is very rich, so I'm assuming that
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: he read it. But maybe he didn't read it. Maybe
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: he just sort of had a lone. Who knows, But
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I think that it brings out a very dangerous point
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: in this country when somebody can openly vow to block
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: the careers of somebody because they have an opinion. They
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: didn't fund money to this, They didn't say, like, you know,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: we're going on the front lines to fight ourselves. They
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: they openly wrote a opinion in a peaceful manner, right,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: and you could disagree with their opinion that that's something
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: that you have a right to as an American, and
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: you can choose not to hire them in your company
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: if you want to. But to openly try to collude,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: collude with all every single Wall Street firm to stop
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: their hiring because they don't agree with you, well, it's
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: such a dangerous precedent and it would never happen if
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: it was for another disadvantaged group, if anybody said anything
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: disrespectful about black people, I've never seen this level of
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: black ball happen. In fact, you could even become president
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: because when Donald Trump called the Central Park five rapists
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: and they should be he said, he actually said that
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: they should have the death penalty. And they were sixteen
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: and seventeen years old. They weren't they weren't even adults.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: And then it comes out that they were exonerated and
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: that they were actually completely mischowsed by the justice system,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: that they never committed the crime at all. They actually
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: got like sixty million dollars from New York City, and
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: he said that was a waste of tax pay his money.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: He doubled down on the statement, and he become president.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: So we're living in very interesting times. And I think
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: that that the media is at a very important part
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: of society and we must have free we must have
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: free press. We can never be bullied. The press can
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: never be bullied. And people's opinions have to be respected
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: across all across all aisles, because once we start to
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: walk on people's opinion, then we we we really compromise
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the integrity of any level of democracy that we think
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: we have.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's interesting.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Everything you said is one hundred percent in the green swims,
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: But it's interesting when you think about the statement being
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: made public, imagine the conversations that are being had in private,
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: private like it makes you think about that part. But
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: the other thing that's also interested in that I think
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: overlooked is that rather than talking to the school, he's
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: attacking the students.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: He could have just said that, hey, if we support
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: Harvard then and this is my alma mater, we're not
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: going to be a booster for Harvard anymore. He specifically
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: is going after students, which is interesting, right, these are
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: the future of our society. This could have been a
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: learning moment. Even if he thought that he disagreed with them,
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: This could have been a moment for him to engage
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: with them and have conversation, right, because ultimately there could
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: be an understanding that comes from that conversation. But to
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: put us right to speak about an entire industry, right,
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: when we spoke to Van Jones and we talked about finance,
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: we talked about the financial structure of America.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: The heart of it is Wall Street.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: So what you're doing is derailing and putting up a
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: roadblock for any financial progress.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: That's just from a standpoint.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Even if they wanted to be in the world of finance,
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: maybe they didn't, But to have their names released that
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: could affect them in any other career field, right, just
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: because they they had an opinion or they exercised their
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: freedom of speech, which is interesting, But these are the
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: things that are happening, right, So like we always try
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: to go over there, always have our mindset and the
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: conversations that we have, and these things are happening in public,
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: But so many more conversations that happen in private that
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: are probably similar to this, that are never going to
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: be released, which is important. That puts us in a
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: position to say, you know what, what're part of media.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: We see how this is going. We're going to say
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: something because we have the right to. You have to.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: I don't want to take the other side of it,
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: but I do want to a couple of things. Number One,
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: you have to be very careful of what you say.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: Number Two, there's a reason why people have always told
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: people to stay away from religion and or politics, because
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: you are once you take a side, you then are
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: going to upset potential enemies that maybe on the other
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: side of that conflict or advice that you're giving. I
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: do think it's unfair for him to call them out.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: But the other part of it is if he went
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: to Harvard I think you graduated IDY eight then went
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: to Columbia as a donor. There isn't the purpose of
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: power to be able to do what you want to
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: do with it. I actually all the time, what's the
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: purpose of having few money if at some point you
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: can't say you I think if someone agrees with what
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: the student said, they should hire them at their firm.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: The way the data is acute, though not many will
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: I think it's unfortunate even here. It was one episode
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: I won't say with guests, but some of the audience
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: members want unfavorable to the guests and has some comments
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: on YouTube and they ended up on the blacklist.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: You gotta be careful what you say to people.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: People aren't always going to tell you and publicly, hey,
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: I'm going to get my look back, But on the
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: back you have to be very And we've had these
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: conversations privately about diplomacy, when to attack, when to retreat,
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: when to not give certain things energy. It's unfortunate, but
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: in the time we're in, if you're going to take
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: a stance and you're not willing to back that stands
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: with your own capital, you could be in trouble.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: You really could be.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: Also we talked about it before freedom and speech was
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: really made for in your house and in small private gatherings.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: You can't say whatever you want to in public and online.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: It's no different.
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: And I'll say this for those of you who work
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: in corporate I had a stock club Costs Saturday. I
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: four times in a row begged everybody in Red Panda
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: stay away from this topic, your thoughts, political disposition, because
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: the same thing is going to happen to you if
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: you so choose to take a side and you're wrong
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: or you get attacked.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: That is the price of speaking.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: I know we have the solution of democracy really republican
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: in the United States of America, but this has been
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: an expect like the thing that I saw from.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Most of us that are black. It's like this has.
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: Been happening to us in every industy. It's unfortunate that
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: it happened to them, yes, but this, this kind of
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: treatment has been happening to us forever.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: I do think people, I think it highlights I think
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: it highlights a few things. So you're right, you have
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: to if you're if you're willing to speak on something,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: you have to be able to deal with the consequences.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Of that, yea, And there's always consequences for everything.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: But I this is why I think that it's dangerous
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: because when I think of Harvard, I'm looking at student
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: organization putting out a letter that's almost similar to like
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: a press.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: That's that's like press. Right, So when it's just.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: A random person on Twitter saying something, and now you
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: got to you know, if you say something, but when,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: because at what point does it stop?
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: At what point does somebody's personal views, opinions or stating
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: the facts? You start to walk with their line? This
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: country was built on freedom, Ernest.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: What's up?
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: You ever walk into a small business and everything just
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: works like the checkout is fast, the receipts or digital
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: tipping is a breeze, and you're out the door before
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: the line even builds. Odds are they're using Square? We
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: love supporting businesses that run on Square because it just
• 14:13

• 15:05
  Speaker 4: to you by P and C Bank. A lot of
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: people think podcasts about work are boring, and sure, they
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: definitely can be, but understanding a professionals routine shows us
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: how they achieve their success little by little, day after day.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: It's like banking with P and C Bank. It might
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: seem boring to save, plan and make calculated decisions with
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: your bank, but keeping your money boring is what helps
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: you live a more happily fulfilled life. P and C
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: Bank Brilliantly Boring since eighteen sixty five. Brilliantly Boring since

  Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from l Salvador
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas. Man of Venezuelan charged with
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: filming and selling child prinanography in Michigan. These are just
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United States
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: are here illegally your next you will be fine nearly
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and deported, you will
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: border and families will be protected.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Speech that's essential. The reason why America has been looked
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: at in his light is because most countries in the
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: world don't have free speech. Most countries in the world
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: you say something about the president, you can actually get killed.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Right in America, like you know, we've had the ability
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: for to say f the police, right like they like
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: they said that and then or you know, talking about
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: the president and easy walks through the White House with
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: the Jerry curl like you know what I mean, like.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: This this is our culture hip hop.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: But that's an example that in other countries nobody if
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: you would have said if the police, you would have
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: got killed or arrest the president. If you would have
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: said something about the president, you would your brains would
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: be blown out on the street. Well, who knows if
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: how this country might look in fifty years or one
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: hundred years. Right, if we take authoritarian approach to things
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: and limit people's freedom of speech and publicly and publicly
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: do it with such confidence, right, it wasn't even like
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: it was done in private. If we publicly start to
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: denouncing people's freedom of speech and such confidence, well, now
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: you make people scared to speak. And now once you
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: make people scared to speak, now you compromise freedom of speech,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: you compromise the free press, and you create a very
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: a very dangerous situation. So I think that you're right
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: for sure, But you have to ask some point question authority,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: because if you never question authority, then it'll just be
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: status quo. And that's not the way to have a
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: productive society by just following status quo. We have to
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: have uncomfortable conversations, we have to have debates, We have
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: to be able to question things publicly without getting denounced
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: and villainized. Right, it's part of this is this is
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: part of American culture.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: Right. If we don't have this, we're not we don't
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: have America. This is part of it.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: Quick question, like I was saying, it's important, right, but
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: you take it to conception, like we're talking about a
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: student body group, and so the average student of college
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: is what eighteen to twenty three, right, So you're still
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: to talking about minds that are still developing. And even
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: in an actman statement, he's saying we should be made
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: aware of people who support terrorist groups. Like you said,
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: there was nothing in there that as he's that's what
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: I'm saying, that was nothing I'm talking about his response.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: So his response is that if people are supporting terrorist groups,
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: we should be made aware of that, especially if these
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: are people that were going to potentially hire in the future.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: Inaccurate.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: But what that does is when other CEOs read his statement,
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: they're going off of his inaccuracies. And so you get
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: the CEO of Sweet Greens saying, I want to know
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: who they are, so I can never hire these people, right,
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: And so we're talking about now this isn't even a
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: financial conversation anymore. And now this is just like any
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: career path that you're choosing. If your name is now released,
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: just over with. So like you're done. Yeah for a
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: statement or a group that you came together with when
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: you were in high school or just out of high
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: school in college nineteen to twenty three, and you said
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: something that somebody misconscrewed media picked it up. It was inaccurate.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: The statements we're inaccurate, and now your life is ruined.
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: I don't even want to take the other side of argument,
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: But can I ask a question real quick? What me
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: at Red Panda and you guys are earning your leisure
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: hire anyone to say anything favorable about any neo Nazi group.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Well, let me ask you this.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: It's already it's already happening because Robert Kawasaki, who I
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: read this book, I say that that his book changed
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: my life. When he says things like the Black Lives matter,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: terrorists and George Floyd, you know, paraphrasing like you know,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: it's kind of he's resistant arrest and all these things.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: It's already done. We vote, the public has already voted
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: for Donald Trump. Who we can go through what he
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: says a variety of different times on a weekly basis.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, we can just go through sports, we can
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: go through we can go through this whole list of things.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: So to answer your question, we don't have We never
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: had power in this country. So that's not even a
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: fear question to ask because we don't control power. We
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: as far as black people, we're not in a position
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: to black boil anybody. We've never been. We can't black
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: boy anybody from politics. We see that they rose to
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: the highest level of power. We can't black black boy
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: anybody from finance. We see that they openly disrespect black people,
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: and they already they rise to the highest level of power.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: We have never been in a position to actually enforce
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: any level of being able to black bail anybody.
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: So well, the bus boycotts, I think we just conceded
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: for the wrong things when we had leverage. There's a
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: bunch of brands where we can turn around and make
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: not popular if we choose.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: I don't think we care enough.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: To boycotting something and actually blackballing somebody's two different things.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: We can boycott things and say we're not going to
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: support this business. I'm saying as far as having the
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: power vocally or non vocally to go on a board
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: meeting and say like not this versus not getting higher
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: and we're not gonna put money behind this campaign and
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: we not going to give him, that's something that we
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: just don't have. We've never had enough power too, and
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: we still to this day don't have enough power. So
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: it's hard to even speak from that hypothetical because we're
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: not in that position. We haven't, but we're in a
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: position where we can be black balled, and that has
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: happened continuously. Actvin said it verbally and like I said,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: this is bigger than just the Harvest students. But this
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: brings up a bigger How many people, how many people
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: have said something where they supported Malcolm X and they
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: didn't agree with you supporting Malcolm X, And you'll never
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: know that you didn't get higher. You never know that
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: you that you didn't get corporate funded, how many people
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: supported the Black Panthers, The real black Panther's not the marvel.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: And just by you saying that, you never know that
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: that was the reason why it didn't work out for you.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: You never know that that's the reason why you didn't
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: advance in your career.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: You didn't plait that home loan that could have changed
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: your family trajectory forty five fifty years ago.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: It's implicit.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: It's not as explicit as him saying this.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: But okay, last point, if we can state the obvious
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: Ackman's ethnicity plays a lot into what he said, and
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: as it should.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: And I don't want to dance around it, but I
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: also don't want to turn up on it. But it's
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: like people have to be mindful of the repercussions of
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: what they say, and we've seen people get canceled before
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: over similar comments. Just because you're in college doesn't negate
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: you of responsibility for it. Do I think it's fair? No,
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: But this is the truth. This has always been done.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: This is not new, and he's not the first one
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: publicly to say it. Like even at one point when
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: I went to Indiana, university. If you said anything crazy
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: about Bob Knight, it was going to affect your life
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: on campus at one point, like Bob was King of Bloomington,
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: if you said something disparaited about him, and it would
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: have an impact on your grades and how teachers felt
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: about you if they were pro him. This has always happened.
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: The biggest thing I want us to take away is
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: free speech is not free. Press is not free as
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: if farmers paying for it. And we've never had the
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: right to publicly say whatever we wanted to.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: But even at night, there's a good example. Until you
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: see him putting his hands around the kid's neck.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: You should have made the layout or pass the ball,
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean? Like layup Coverdale was making
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: him three. Hey, babe boy, you should have made them
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: lay I'll choke you two.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: You missed fourteen. I'm just joking. These jokes written by
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: eighty five South.
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: Dyden, right, but Alan Henderson, you should have made the layup.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Though.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: The last thing we'll say about this is how do
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: you feel about DJ Flatt saying that Drake and Uh
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: is the most famous Jewish person in the world, and
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: DJ Kelli is the most famous Pastenian person in the world,
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: and they haven't said anything yet, and he's disappointed that
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: they haven't made comments.
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: I think Drake and Cali realize if they make a statement,
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: it would be too detrimental for their brand because they're
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: not well versed enough in it to speak on it,
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: and it will have an impact on their lives. Everyone
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: does have to make a statement. Glad, you should make
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: a statement. I think he made a statement. Continue to
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: put out what you're putting out on KVD and.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Paid all right, put out all right, mh okay, all right.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: And then I think I think we have to offer
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Bak a lot of my thing with I think with
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: the Blad situations that once again he acts, he acts Drake,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: he said in Jewish, in Jewish law. Drake's mother is Jewish,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: so he's Jewish by Jewish law. He was raised in
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: a Jewish community.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: He gave a whole long list of things out, you know,
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Drake and Jake Break says he's Jewish, so he should
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: he should speak as a.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Jews should speak on Jewish issues. My things.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: I've never heard of Lad ever say that, you know,
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: and this is by historical law, definitely by American law,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: if you had one drop of black blood in you, you
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: would consider black. Right, This is on the Flave plantat
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: If you would like skin, you might have got treated
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: a little better, but you were still black. You never
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: was treated as a white person. So Drake's father is
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: obviously black. He's a black man. Drake is entrenched in
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: hip hop culture, spends summers in Memphis, Tennessee, and as
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: a hip hop artist. I don't think anybody would debate
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: that he's a black man, just like j Cole who's biracial,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: or President Obama or variety of other people. But I've
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: never heard him ever say that Drake, as a black man,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: has an obligation to speak on black issues. So that's interesting.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: But then also I think that yeah, it is wise.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: It is a celebrity if you don't fully understand what
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: you're saying, to say nothing at all. We saw Justin
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Bieber put up praying for Israel with a picture of Gaza,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: and you know what, it's better not to say anything
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: if you're not as if you're we have a weird
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: of celebrity obfessional obsession and and and like it's like
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: even floor, like you know, Floyd is one of the
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: greatest boxes of all time and his business acumen is wonderful.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: And we interviewed him at Market Mondays. And when I
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: the first time I met Floyda's Market Monday's, he had
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: glasses with no lenses in them.
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: So I say, I to say, I just be honest
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: with you, not just be honest with you, so I
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: know you paint. You gotta paint the picture so vivid
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: they can see it's clearly.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: I don't I would necessarily take world views from Floyd.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: Maybe, well, it's not my go to He's we've had.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: Right, there's certain communities we look for people pundits that
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: are experts, have a welld verse in geopolitical issues.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Right in our community we look to entertainers.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Is it that we look to it or the media
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: pushes push because there are talking Hey, let's the media
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: interview that goes back to the black thing. Why do
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: you you you you obsessed for a Drake con There's
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: plenty of qualified people right that studies for years, that's relevant,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: that can actually have an intelligent conversation. So we're pushed
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: on the fact of let's see what Lebron James is
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: going to say. Let's log on Twitter and see what
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: DJ Khaled has to say, like you know what I mean. Like, so,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: I think that part of it is the media obsession
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: with celebrities that forces us to always look because the
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: first thing that happens, George Floyd have the first thing
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: we do is go to our favorite celebrity.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: They see what do they do? They we checked every hour.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: It becomes a story.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: Right if if one of them say it as a celebrity,
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: then it's going to do more clicks. Right for that business,
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: for the media business to work, you have to have
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: people who are going to draw eyes and attention to
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: a statement or to a story. And so the fact
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: that they keep going to them is for that exactly reason.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: But like, but they have they have influence.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: So it's like Muhammad Ali, Right, this is a perfect
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: person who was actually qualified to speak, and he had
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: a lot of influence. And he's somebody that was a
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: leader even though he was a uh you know, entertained
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: as far as boxing. He was an athlete, right, But
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: like I said, you know, every every every athlete is
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: not Muhammad Ali.
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: No, no, now, Mohammed that era of athlete Ahama. Now, Kyrie,
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: you got Yo Russell, Kyrie, Kyle Russell, Jim Brown, Kyrie
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: and Kyrie.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Also got Jalen Brown Kyrie. Irvan Kaepernick had his moment
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: at the time he sparked the four. He didn't speak,
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: but to his point, to his credit, maybe he wasn't
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: confident or qualify or qualified right, true, all right?
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United States
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, Attempted illegal border
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Do what's right leave Now. Under President Trump, America's laws,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: border and families will be protected.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security,
