That's why we're talking to my boy, Ron Merchinson Rivera. Run for Florida Sixth District. Let's go. What up, son? Ronnie: No, no. What up, y'all? Time to time to take back our damn country. Carlos: Welcome. Yes. And we can't do that without the man, the myth of legend, C4 explosives, y'all. Cefore X. Plosives: Hell yeah. With his cracking. You can't have anybody from Florida on without me, dog. You know what I'm saying? We got a district by district with chop w Let's go. Carlos: I mean ⁓ Carlos Gomez (Coconut Justice): Hey, what's good? Ronnie Murchinson-Rivera is a dedicated public servant with years of experience in EMS, law enforcement, education, ⁓ community leadership. And now he's running to represent Florida's 6th Congressional District. Born and raised in New York City and proudly calling Florida home since 2017, Ronnie has built his life around service, integrity, and passion. Carlos: I haven't even talked to a C four in d I don't know, at least a month and a half. So this is gonna be a bit of a reunion for us too. But what's up, Ron? What's what's going on in Florida's sixth district? Ronnie: What the hell is not going on in Florida Sixth District? That's the question you should be asking me instead of what is happening. Because I if if I'm feeling it here, I know the whole state and the whole country is feeling what the hell is happening here. It's so much happening, man. We gotta it's like you can't attack one thing anymore. It's like it's coming at you from all some Call of Duty black ops zombie kind of apocalypse kind of Carlos Gomez (Coconut Justice): For justice and affordability. I got that straight from his website. I just met this guy and he's already made my life easier. This is my conversation with Ronnie Murchinson-Rivera. Before we get into it, remember go to coconutjustice.com to get you some clothes that I think would look good on you. Let's go. Carlos: Yeah. Cefore X. Plosives: Hundred hundred percent. Carlos: Yeah. And and remember remember this is the battle plan. This is why old boy keeps doing dumb things like running at running with the idea of an arch. He's running with the idea of doing the ballroom. He's running with the idea of data centers. He's running with the ideas of putting his name on the Kennedy Center. Like this is this is this is their battle plan. Yeah. Cefore X. Plosives: Rage tweeting at three o'clock in the morning. Ronnie: Man, listen. Like he he won his name on everything. He you heard about the whole two hundred dollar bill or something like that? It's like, what the two hundred and fifty like what do we what do we I just don't get what's happening, man. Congress is letting it happen. That's the problem, you know. We knew we knew Donald Trump, right? We knew him. We knew we knew first of all, he didn't win this election. We know how he got in. But ⁓ it's it's I'm more upset about Carlos: Yeah, two hundred fifty dollar bill. Fuck outta here. Hey Cefore X. Plosives: Two fifty. Carlos: That's the big Ronnie: the people in Congress that's allowing the truth to happen. The people that's supposed to be the ones that are like, hold up, timeout, you crossing that line too far. Let's push you back. Because to be honest, yes, he's the president of the United States, but he don't hold that purse. That purse belongs to Congress that can stop him in his tracks any day. They can Congress could stop him, the Supreme Court, anything, as long as they come together and do what's right for the people. And that's what we miss it right now. Somebody that has the cojones to get up there and fight actually for the people. Carlos: Yeah. It's it's When I when I talk to people about people like Hakeem Jeffries and the Senate candidate, ⁓ Can't remember his name, the the highest ranking Senate Democrat. I can't remember his name right now. Chuck Schumer. It's like, yeah, he's being that bratty kid in or the bull in the china shop or the brat the bratty kid. I was explaining to someone, Trump is like a bratty kid being dragged out of the store because he's too disruptive. But like Ronnie: ⁓ Fakshima. Carlos: the store owner and the and the people, the employees of that store, which are folks in Congress, they're just watching him breaking things and they're not doing anything about it. Ronnie: Mm-hmm. Yeah. I mean, listen, it shoot, I'm just letting y'all know. If it was me breaking things in that store, my mom would have kicked my oof. She's probably still was. You know how it is. What ⁓ you can't hey put that damn thing down. Anyway, that that that's the kind of attitude that we need in Congress right now, that that we need we need we need those folks that if the current store owner or or employees won't say something, you have that mom or dad that Carlos: You know? And we Cefore X. Plosives: Pfft. Ronnie: that put in you and I I think I'm that person. You get what I'm saying? Like they there's nothing they can do to me when I get to Congress that gonna hurt me. I came from nothing. I I wasn't spoon fed my whole life. I I've been in law enforcement, in EMS, I worked in the public my whole life. There's nothing they can do, say whatever to me that's gonna make me change my mind about my priorities, about the people. So I I I I'm a fighter too, man. You guys already know. ⁓ like I did this my whole life. Carlos: Yeah. Ronnie: ⁓ I already was told, let me tell you this, I already was told at Irani, listen, there's a chance you're going to win. Like like nobody likes Randy Fine, and Trump is an o as Trump is at a all time low. You most likely gonna win. But I'm gonna let you know when you get and this is somebody that already works in Washington, 'cause I was down there doing a protest with Flair and all them and I was talking. He was like, You win and you come here and you don't listen to them, they're gonna move your office to like the furthest part of the Cefore X. Plosives: Yep. Ronnie: the the builder or they're gonna take a parking spot that's like right in the basement and move it to probably like three, four blocks away and say you gotta walk. Listen, hey listen, I told them I said, have you guys ever ate oodles and noodles and ketchup? Like like like like you get what I'm saying? Like I came from nothing. There's nothing you guys could do to me that's gonna make me like have you ever had sugar water when you was thirsty in the summertime? Like stuff like that. Like I walked a Carlos: That's cool. I gotta get my steps in anyway, bitch. Cefore X. Plosives: Cheers. Carlos: You know what I'm saying? Cefore X. Plosives: Yes. Yes. Carlos: Yeah, Kool Aid without the red. Ronnie: You get what I'm saying? I don't want the four blocks. Like, I listen, I'm okay. Like, but you it's nothing y'all gonna listen. And that's that's what the reason why I said that is because these are the people we are fighting for every day, that people that eat in stuff like noodles every day or probably not eating at all. And you got people in Congress that never experienced that in their whole life, making decisions for people like Cefore X. Plosives: Hehehehe Get that wish sandwich. Carlos: Maman, how ya dude? That they throw away in one meal they throw away three meals 'cause they are too full. Ronnie: Yeah. Yeah, like I you got people in Congress that never experienced that and I'm like, how can you really, really fight for the people if you never experience that? Carlos: Right. And you turn a blind eye. Cefore X. Plosives: And how many, he's gonna put, you mentioned he's gonna put his face on the 250, the $250 bill. How many people can actually have a $250 bill in their pocket? You know what saying? Like, come on now. Ronnie: Huh. Not not Florida. Carlos: Because A because his rules are gonna take away at least half of that two hundred fifty. Ronnie: Yeah. Yep. Yep. Listen listen, people in Florida is is struggling right now. Majority of Florida receive public welfare. Like people don't understand that, like I mean you mo majority of people who receive food stamps and Medicaid are working class families. Like it and then now you got gas prices at five dollars a gallon. Cefore X. Plosives: Damn it, man. Carlos: Yeah. Hey, hey. Good good hardworking, hard working white Americans, especially single white mothers make up the majority of the people that are on public aid. Cefore X. Plosives: you Mm-hmm. Carlos: Those are good people. Ronnie: Who hurting? Themselves. Because look who the hell they keep look who the hell they keep voting for. Like it just blows my you guys don't understand. Like I'd be going canvas in and I'll be going into the deepest, reddest part of my district, which is I believe is Putnam County. Putnam County. It's ⁓ Palaka and all that. You got you got you got your you know, in every territory we got our black and Hispanics, but majority of them is is is low income white families. And I be going there, they be telling me the stories. Carlos: Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Ronnie: And my first question is, like, I don't like putting anybody down. Like you come you struggling, I I feel you, I know. But it's like you're you're actually actively voting for the people that's keeping you in the position that you are in. Carlos: Mm-hmm. And for what? Cause you don't want 'cause you don't want dark people to have shit too? Ronnie: And they're not only keeping you in a position Right. It's it's this it's this both like they're not only keeping you in that position, they're still taking from you, even though you got nothing. Carlos: And then when you don't have anything, they're trying to convince you to buy this watch that's missing letters. They're asking you to buy these tennis shoes. They're asking you to buy into this steak, this water. They're buying the phone that's never gonna come. They're asking you to buy to to to buy ⁓ real estate classes that don't teach you real estate. Cefore X. Plosives: Thanks Hahaha the phone that'll never come. Ronnie: I was just about to say that only taking my things before. Mm-hmm. Cefore X. Plosives: Did you see that Ivanka Trump just said that they found an island in the Mediterranean that they're gonna turn into? Like, don't you think the island, they found an island off the coast of the Mediterranean. They're like, ⁓ we were swimming, I got off the boat, and I was like, this island is beautiful. I walked around in my bare feet up the mountain, and then there's a lagoon across the way. All of a sudden, they're gonna take over these undiscovered islands all of a sudden? That reminds me of somebody. Carlos: I just saw that right before I jumped on this bitch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ronnie: Wait, I didn't see that. What what is it? What is it? Sound familiar, don't it? Carlos: You would have learned, hey, you would have learned about this island if they would stop banning fucking books in Florida. Ronnie: Mm-hmm. Yep. Yep. And it's and specifically targeted books. It's just you know, it's it's it it's it Florida's a different breed, man. I came out here in twenty seventeen from New York and y you guys know you guys came from s a similar state like New York and it's like man they racist out here. Cefore X. Plosives: Facts. Yes. It's so bad. Carlos: I am so tired of Florida. Isn't it crazy? Bro, let me share you with you Cefore X. Plosives: Yeah. Ronnie: No, no, like we we got our own thing of race racist, but like these are people like truly like Carlos: Let me tell you this story about my mom real quick. My mom lives in Florida, Central Florida. And she has made, you know, she'll go out and driving and stuff like that. And she made a wrong turn. And she was trying to turn around, but she got stuck in the sand. She called me crying. Crying. Like not funny, ha ha crying, like in a panic, scared out of her goddamn mind, crying. Cefore X. Plosives: You Carlos: She said, I'm sharing with you my location. I don't know what to do. And there's a bunch of racist. And I'm close to this racist ass town. Apparently there it was like some sort of a sundown town or some shit that she was next to. And the sun was going down. My mother? Cefore X. Plosives: Nice. Carlos: So you know, I calmed her down and we called the triple A and we did all the things and we got her home safe. But the fact that an older Spanish lady acted like that in your neighborhood. Let me tell you. That's horse shit. That's horse shit. Cefore X. Plosives: Mm-hmm. Ronnie: And it's even and it's even worse now because they're they're allowing it to happen openly. Cefore X. Plosives: Yep. Carlos: Yeah. Cefore X. Plosives: Well, you saw the video in my town where the white dude rolled up all drunk in his pickup truck, dropping M-bombs. man, all credit to the brother, man. He kept it cool and said, God loves you. I don't know how much restraint I could have. He dropped at least a dozen, a dozen M-bombs, just like, come on, man. And it's just letting it fly. Ronnie: Like they're not hiding anymore. Carlos: Yeah. ⁓ Yeah, just just be a wild Ronnie: They see for you know you i it was a lot of restraint because normally you probably get one slip of what you said after that. Carlos: He was in a truck though. Like in a situation like that, ⁓ boy played it perfect. You know that he's drunk and you know that historically speaking, if you come out of that car and go to his car and drag his rabid ass out that goddamn car, you know it's you gonna be doing time. Right? With stuff like that, you let that happen. Do exactly what he did. Record it. Cefore X. Plosives: Mm-hmm. Ronnie: Yeah. Yeah. Carlos: put it on the internet. He's gonna lose his job soon. Yeah. Ronnie: Yeah. Yeah. I love it. People I love I love the power of the people, man, 'cause when people come together and see that bullcrap, they be like, they let them handle it. Let them handle it. I love it. I love it. Cefore X. Plosives: Dude ain't got no job. Carlos: Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. I'm saying we do everything and we build everything in the light. Why? 'Cause then if they touch it, we have recourse. We have recourse. Like all this stuff that they did and they thought that they got away with, they think that they can they can continuously get away with what they did in Tulsa and what they did in Central Park and what they did in Philadelphia and what they continue to do and what they Cefore X. Plosives: Mm-hmm. Ronnie: Hmm. Carlos: We build this we build all of our stuff because nobody wants to watch their movies anymore. It's already old. We want to watch our movies. We're tired of your rules. Your rules don't work. Your platforms don't work. Your things don't work. Why? Because we continue to be here. And year after year we continue to argue and complain about the same stuff. That means your version of government does not work. That's why we need new folks like Ronnie up in this piece. Cefore X. Plosives: I don't know. Ronnie: Yeah, I mean we're gonna we're gonna get it done man 'cause and then we're talking about listen, let me clear the air. We're not only talking about the Republican Party here. Because there's some people up in our party too that gotta go. Cefore X. Plosives: Hell yeah. Carlos: no. Tell him. Tell him. Yeah.

You gotta listen, you listen, you can't sit up here and see what's happening in another country and all those genocides they make, they let it happen. And I'm not anti-Semitic. I'm not saying Israel is a bad country. I'm telling the people who's committing the genocide that live in Israel, like Netanyahu has, is is committing genocide, and we need to pull him from Israel like we did that that Cefore X. Plosives: He knows what time it is. Knows what time it is. Carlos: Yeah. Cefore X. Plosives: Mm-hmm. Ronnie: They did their other cat from the other country in ⁓ what Venezuela it was. They pulled him over here, went into the dock, pulled him out of his own country, and brung it back to the United States. I th don't let dip don't let us take back the House of Congress because they let Donald Trump get away with it. This is I got a list of the people that we need to swiftly bring to justice. You get what I'm saying? But ⁓ if if if if if a person's gonna let that happen and and and and and be okay with still taking money from you, you're part of the problem. You're a part of the problem. Cefore X. Plosives: Yep. See? Carlos: Mm-hmm. Yeah, they gotta go too. Yeah, you gotta go too. That check is in the way of you seeing what exactly was that. Cefore X. Plosives: ⁓ yeah, they'll act like they're leading the march to... Yeah, they'll act like they're leading the march and all of a sudden they'll hit that line and they're like, well, we can't cross this line. You guys can keep going, but we're not done with that. So what they need to do is like, we're talking about overthrow, know, take the power out of Israel. We need to do the same damn thing over here. That's it. Ronnie: Huh. Carlos: How why why are we why are we rebuilding and fixing someone else's house when our house is all messed up? It's not that any that don't make me anti-Semitic. That means that means that we need to fix United States schools. Our kids are not competitive in the workforce, in the global workforce. We keep seeing all these computers and we keep seeing all this AI, we keep seeing all this stuff, and it's not Americans building that shit. It's not. Cefore X. Plosives: I'll miss them. Mm-mm.

At the time, at the time, Florida was doing okay. I'm gonna lie to you. I came out here, I got me a nice job, worked working, could afford stuff. The school was the schooling was not as bad. ⁓ I had a four bedroom. Cefore X. Plosives: Yeah. Carlos: Mm-hmm. Ronnie: two bathroom apartment in Orlando for like $900 a month? Listen. And then here come here come Ronda Scammers coming on in. And and since then, that same apartment, I just went down there the other day, the same apartment I was paying $900 for four bedrooms for is $2,800 right now. Carlos: What? Cefore X. Plosives: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Carlos: listen. Cefore X. Plosives: Yeah, I had a two bedroom and it was like 760 when I went in there and now it's like 16, 18, 19, like it depends on who's running it. Like it's ridiculous. Ronnie: And only like a spin of five years. Carlos: I don't even I don't even know. I don't even wanna tell you how much that stuff is here in the Bay Area. Ronnie: ⁓ you the bit ⁓ yeah, you even gotta tell me. We already know. We we already know. Listen, but on the flip on the flip side though, on the flip side though, you got everything in the palm of your hand. You want to order something to eat 2 30 in morning, you want to go out, you wanna do that, everything's there. Here in Florida, especially now Walmart done never changed their hours back to twenty four hours since COVID. We everything closed at eleven. So you starve it from eleven to like six thirty in the morning if you're hungry. Carlos: Yeah. Cefore X. Plosives: It's all about Florida. Carlos: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And you have to drive far. Cefore X. Plosives: Push it. ⁓ man. Ronnie: And you gotta drive for it. You there's no transportation here. The buses run like once every four hours. That's why when I tell people where where my plan is to tax the rich, for them to pay an extra three hundred, four hundred thousand dollars a year, they ain't leaving New York and California. They got everything at the palm of their hand at any time, anywhere, any place. I already talked to a millionaire in New York. He goes, Ronnie, I will pay like two million dollars extra a year to stay where I'm at. Cause Carlos: They are not. Yeah. Cause you're gonna get that money back. Ronnie: First of all, I Yeah, but he says, you know, he said, I feel good contributing to society to and and and two, New York City made me the person I am right now. If it wasn't for New York City, I wouldn't have these millions. So I'm making thirty million dollars a year. What is it to me to get back to the place that made me that thirty million dollars a year? So Carlos: Mm-hmm. Yeah. And the way I see it is this. If if my neighborhood Cefore X. Plosives: That's it. Carlos: If I have the cool house on the block and I see some of my neighbors, you know, maybe they'll get inspired. They start working on making the neighborhood a little cuter. But there's someone over there, maybe they need help. Maybe it's an old lady who's in the house and she just needs some bushes trimmed or she just needs something raked. What's it to me to go help that old lady to make her house look better so the neighborhood looks better? Same thing. Same thing. Ronnie: Yeah, why not? Cefore X. Plosives: it. Carlos: If I'm rich and powerful in the United States and I'm going around talking about how wonderful the United States is, but then you watch the news about the United States and you see that our education is plummeting, our infrastructure is crumbling, like what exactly are you bragging about? Ronnie: Mm-hmm. Nothing. Nothing. And and that's what people don't realize when we say tax the rich. The rich is not even the ones complaining. It's not it's ri is really not them. It's it's it's it's the whole it's just Yeah. Carlos: Right. It's a loud few. There are some there are some that wanna keep it all, but Ronnie: I mean you got you you got it but it's like it's not as the the the the the loudness you the loudness you hear is not really coming from them it's coming from a particular party where I had to tell one dude one day it was like they will never invite you to breakfast bro they don't even know your name Carlos: At all. At all. Hey, let me rub some salt in that wound. Because I read books, they will invite me. Cefore X. Plosives: Never. Never. Carlos: I have proof they like me more than they like some of you poor white folks that don't read books that are easily that are gullible, they don't like to talk to you because you're boring. They like to talk to me. Ronnie: Nope. Yep. Educated or or or is somebody that has like knowledge, some not not the person that's living in a a thing that's voting for them. They they they like you, they like you in November, and that's it. Cefore X. Plosives: Yeah. Or. Carlos: Yeah. No. They like they like you the fuck over there. Cefore X. Plosives: Let's take Byron Donnell for instance, So they're like, hey, we need you right here. We need you, but we'll let you in the room. But you can't go into that door. This is as far as you can go. This is as far as you can go. But I thought we were part of, yeah, we're a part of this right here. You can't go upstairs with us. Carlos: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Ronnie: You can see it in his face too. Carlos: Hey, I'll go as I'll I'll go as far as to say I've had those conversations. They told me, hey, suck it up, suck it up, you're you're breathing rare air, but don't don't go through that door. Cefore X. Plosives: Yeah. Ronnie: Oof. I don't know about y'all and when somebody tell me that it's only one instance I'm not going through that door and it's a scary movie because I ain't I ain't going that way. I'm going this way.

He says, Watch I'm gonna do this terrible thing, and then they're really gonna pick on me. And then he goes and does the terrible thing, and then they they're like, Hey, dumbass, stop doing that thing. And then he turns around and says, You see, I told you they're gonna pick on me. Ronnie: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yep. That's exactly what he's doing. Carlos: They're not picking on you. They're picking on the fact that you're doing this dumb thing. Ronnie: That you knew was a dumb thing because before you did it. It's just listen, I don't ever believe somebody for two things. Especially, listen, Donald Trump. One, when he said, when his own mother says, You better not elect him if you go into politics. Like, listen to his damn mom, okay? Two, when you had a guy that says, I if I was to ever run for politics, I'm gonna run as a Republican. Because they wanted some of the dumbest people we know. Carlos: Yeah. Cefore X. Plosives: Yo. Carlos: Yeah. Cefore X. Plosives: Yeah Carlos: 'cause they're stupid. Ronnie: And y'all just proved this point for him. It it just I it Carlos: Just proved his point. Cefore X. Plosives: You can run the reel of everybody in his cabinet talking shit about him while they're in the primary. And then they're kissing his ass. What happened to all that? Carlos: Yeah. Ronnie: First of all, I wouldn't even hire it. I wouldn't even hire their ass. Like, you're not gonna sit up there and talk first of all, we came from a different kind of breed. You know, like you you I understand keeping your enemies closer, but you ain't coming to work for me. I'ma keep you probably on like I'ma probably put you as like the supervisor or or the ⁓ team lead. But you ain't being CEO. It's just it's just it's it's my and now they all is like Cefore X. Plosives: I'm No sir, no sir. Ronnie: Trump is the best thing to happen to us. And then when we get ⁓ in in in in ⁓ a hearing to talk about it is like I plead the fifth. I don't know what to talk about. Wasn't me. I'm like Carlos: Yeah, yeah, yeah. You see the you see the folks Cefore X. Plosives: I would hate to be in a room with these guys. Ronnie: Mm. I'm sorry, I didn't hear you. Cefore X. Plosives: No, I say I would hate to be in a room with these guys when shit was hit. Like he was going on a rant of some dumb shit and then they're all just like, like in their head they're like, ⁓ god damn, what do we, like, and then they have to go in the meetings. Carlos: Yeah. ⁓ the he is Ronnie: Yeah, it's like We go we go we gonna get them. Get us get us some young blood in Congress, like me, ⁓ we already talked like Taylor, ⁓ all these all these young bloods that really like we come from people and not money and power. Get us in office and watch things change, right? Because we seen it happen. We seen it happen. Look and the perfect example, a perfect example, and I don't care if you're Republican watching this, the perfect example is a Ramandani in New York. Perfect example. Carlos: He's ⁓ Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Ronnie: My man went in there, he's full of people, and and and and and and what, he's only been in there for five months. And look at him look how much he has done. In five months, they still got like three and a half years with this dude. Carlos: Mm-hmm. Cefore X. Plosives: You balanced the budget already. Carlos: Yeah. Yeah. He's cleaning subways. Like Ronnie: Zero like like come on. And that's that's what I'm saying. That's the perfect example when you actually elect somebody who has a passion to give back to his community and people. Not these people who are gonna get in power and just care about their pockets and they freaking power. That's it. Carlos: And I think that's one of the that's one of the enlighten enlightening things and one of the more motivating things ⁓ from the j younger generation. You guys understand money in a different way. Your relationship with money is different. You know? Like folks my age, like we lived through the seventies and the seventies were pretty tough. Ronnie: Yeah. Yeah. I get it. Carlos: And then, you know, you have this abundance and then obviously you get some folks into the office that they just want to pick fights and break things and take it all for themselves, you know, and then now we're back to that where we have a younger generation with a different relationship to money and information. Ronnie: Mm-hmm. Carlos: Like we w when I was growing up everything was written on paper. The coolest thing that we started coming out with was fax machines and look at that shit. Like Ronnie: doing our smash games on our little paper and stuff going up. I got to listen, my I love my era because my era, we had beepers, cellphones, sidekicks, and now iPhones. So I love it. Carlos: Ha ha ha. Yeah. Yeah. No, me too. Me too. And that's and that's what I mean. Like I explain to people, it looks bad now, but everything that we're looking at has been happening. It's just been happening in the shade or in the in the shadows. Now with iPhones and cameras and stuff, you can't just get away with things anymore. Cefore X. Plosives: seen at all. Ronnie: I love it. I love it. Mm-hmm. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yeah. Ever is and and anything you upload on the internet will always be there. You it there's no hiding it. Cefore X. Plosives: So with that being said, So with that being said, like in Chicago, we have what's called a cop in a box, right? There's a little blue light in the corner on the block and it'll show you everything that's going on. Now in Florida, we got, what is it called, flock cameras? Break it down a little bit, Ronnie. What's a flock camera? Ronnie: ⁓ yeah. ⁓ God, y'all. Listen, let me tell ya, and I'm I I and I'm giving y'all experience as not only a citizen, but a law enforcement officer. I used to be a cop for almost since twenty seventeen to last October. I actually work with Flock and they sold it to Florida, just like those boxes you have in New York and in Chicago that has a blue light on it. You know, that's directly tied to the government. and still the same assets, but this flock camera is not run by the government. It's run by a private agency called Flock. And what it does, it reads your license plate. Now I'ma tell y'all firsthand that that license plate, I mean that reader don't only read your license plate. I can go on this system and look up everything about you. When I say pictures, it's connected to the Department of Motor Vehicles. I can I can get access to pictures, your birthday, your social security card. Man, I saw pictures of people who are now in their 80s. I the first ever picture you took with DV is there. And I was like, whoa, you grew. ⁓ they they sell it to as public safety. They sell it as public safety, which Carlos: There. Cefore X. Plosives: Hahaha Ronnie: You know, I can say it did help me out sometimes to catch people and stuff. But my concern really is the privacy behind it, selling your data. When you when you they're now they're now having contact with things called like ring cameras, ⁓ that people don't know that when you sign an agreement, because a lot of people just click that box, you give an access to ring and flock to your entire data. Even if you got cameras inside your home to watch your living room, they can see inside that and you give them access to use that and they'll be like, ⁓ it's for it's for ⁓ Carlos: Yeah. Ronnie: ⁓ training and and and purposes to you know strengthen our no no no no they selling your data and and you guys they selling your data and it's a privacy thing it's a privacy thing and that's what I'm worried about because when the government stops tracking where you go, who you hang out with and and and things, it it now becomes public safety to whoa, what kind of constitutional violation is this? Because now I don't need a warrant. Carlos: Yeah. ⁓ and and this one too. And this one too, be careful. Cefore X. Plosives: real quick. Ronnie: Because because I don't need one. Carlos: Right. Yeah. And don't fall for that ⁓ ring ring camera came out with some some pitch. They're like, ⁓ you'll be able to help your neighbors find their lost dog if you give us access to this camera. Cefore X. Plosives: Dog, yeah. Yeah. No thanks. Carlos: No. No thanks. Fix your fence. Ronnie: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Listen. Listen. Listen. That's how people sell your things. It sounds good or you feel like you're helping people at the heart, right? Just like just like just like your boy, ⁓ the president of the United States saying, These tariffs are good. It's gonna help y'all because I'm gonna give y'all two thousand dollar checks. Where's that? Carlos: Yeah. Cefore X. Plosives: you They're waiting for all types of checks on back load. Ronnie: Same thing they're doing. The listen, same thing they're doing. They they feed it into you guys because they feed it into your emotions. It's think make you feel like you're doing something good, but on the flip side, they're taking advantage of you. Cefore X. Plosives: percent. Carlos: Yeah. Ronnie: I don't like that. I don't like it. In in Carlos: I don't I don't either. What was it like? What was it like? Were you a cop in New York? No. Ronnie: ⁓ no. I was a paramedic there. I was at EMS. I worked at EMS for almost since I was ⁓ my godmother got me to the trauma troopers in Bedstar, Bedstar volunteer when I like four thirteen, fourteen years old. And so from there all the way till when I moved to Florida in twenty seventeen, I worked at EMS. So a long time, almost twenty years. Carlos: Yeah. And then you be and then you became a cop in in Florida? Ronnie: Yeah, I mean, I wanted to do something different because, you know, people always saying that all cops are bad. And I'm gonna be the first to tell you that all cops are not bad. It's just it's just that, you know, there's bad apples in in everything you do. ⁓ you work in a s a bank. There you there's people ⁓ tell us that got arrested for stealing. You work in you work in ⁓ any kind of job, you know. There's always that bad apple. But the thing about the thing about law enforcement is what people don't realize is that Carlos: I agree. Mm-hmm. Cefore X. Plosives: government. Ronnie: The news only show the bad things. And on top of that, you gotta understand that we have a particular power that we even the president of the United States, he can't take away your rights like we can as law enforcement. The president does not have a right to arrest you. We can. We can we can throw you in jail and and even if you did nothing wrong, you gotta go through all these hoops to prove that you are innocent. And that's a broad that's a stronger power than what this guy can do. And so Carlos: Mm-hmm. Ronnie: I wanted to show people that you can be different. You could be a cop and help out the community and be about people. And let me tell you, I tell us I tell us every time I talk about this that in my whole almost 10 years of being a law enforcement officer, I never pepper spared anybody, I never shot anybody, I even never tased anybody. And and there are times when I could have. I could have. But you know what? My word, my mouth is the most powerful thing that I have. And my grandma always said that because Cefore X. Plosives: Mm-hmm. Ronnie: People go through shit. You don't know about it. And and and and and and for you to come with your big vests and your gun drawn and your thing, you're not gonna help them. You're gonna make it worse. Now there are instances where I had to have my gun on the side, but I never pointed it at this person or whatever. They're you know, protecting me. I got kids to come home too. But at the end of the day, I can literally say on this right now that 99% of the problems that that law enforcement face is because of two reasons. One, Carlos: Mm-hmm. Ronnie: The government can fix it. They they hungry. They don't got no place to stay. The healthcare prices, they're trying to steal stuff to to pay for food or drugs, you know, help their family. Well, second of all, mental health. Those are things that we as Congress and the local government can fix and reduce crime dramatically. They don't want to because these prisons out here are for profit. Carlos: Yep. Cefore X. Plosives: Little piggy banks. Ronnie: And and and it's it comes it comes circle because you throw somebody in jail, they get arrested, they get stayed in Longo County jail or prisons, the the warden gets paid and the state gets paid a little bit of money for them housing. It's like it's a f a full ass circle of life, right? Where if I worked in a kind of job where I I don't like recindivism. I don't want people to go back in jail. I got people that's calling me to this day that says, Ronnie, this what happened. I don't trust the cops. What should I do? Because I'm gonna keep it real with you. Carlos: Mm-hmm. Ronnie: Bro, you did this crime. One or two things can happen. You can go me to the jail. I can take you nicely. You can go down here. I could write the paperwork. You'd probably be out before I'm done my paperwork. Or I'm gonna have to tase you, my partner gonna take you to the ground, and now you get an extra charge. And now you can't bond up because you got a resistance. Now you gotta wait to see the judge. And it's Friday. You're not gonna see a judge to Monday. And you get what I'm saying? Guess what they say. Cefore X. Plosives: Yeah. Ronnie: Nine times out of ten, they were like, Here, bro, let's go. Carlos: Yeah. Yeah. Cefore X. Plosives: I'm so glad you mentioned mental health, man. Ronnie: It's just the way you treat people, man. It's the way you treat people. Cefore X. Plosives: I'm so glad you mentioned mental health because it's such a problem that goes kick to the side. My son's on the spectrum. ⁓ You wouldn't be able to tell. And what happens is when they go through these meltdowns or they're overstimulated, you don't know what's going to happen. So you have to know how to address these situations because if you don't, you could kill somebody that didn't deserve it because they weren't in the right state of mind. Ronnie: Nice to you. Mm-hmm. Yep. Yeah. Cefore X. Plosives: that concerns me the most about my son or just anybody out there that is going through some things and even if they're undiagnosed you know what I'm saying there's so many people undiagnosed and you know just this crisis that that that that they don't give a shit about man it's terrible very concerning Carlos: And we can pinpoint it we can pinpoint it down to when Reagan took office and he defunded a lot of the mental health facilities that we had. Ronnie: Mm. Mm. Absolutely. Absolutely. Listen, I agree with you. ⁓ you know another thing I don't like in Florida and and and and that was me being a cop, is that the cops get to choose who need mental health. They the ch the cops get to choose a Baker Rat criteria. Carlos: Knowing damn well that those cops could benefit from mental health treatments. Ronnie: But it's just like, listen, let me tell you. Let me tell like like like like I'm gonna tell you how the truth. We go to the police academy, and when I was in the police academy, at least, we only got three to four days of training on Bakeract. Not even a whole day. It was just broken up hours. ⁓ I worked as a parame ⁓ EMS in New York. I say paramedic, I was ENT, but when I moved to Florida, the things a ENT, a ENT advance, what I was in New York could do, is the equivalent of a paramedic care in Florida. So when I say paramedic, That's what I mean. I was certified as an EMT. But if I was to take that same certification and qualification and bring it to Florida, it would be the level of a paramedic. ⁓ but so that's why when people tell me I say that. But ⁓ we had training for months, and then every year we have to have constant training on how to identify mental health crises and determine if this person and then on top of that, we were working under the doctor, a license of a doctor. So if we ever had any doubt We could call a mental health doctor and say, Hey, this is what I have. What do you think? We don't have that privilege as law enforcement down here in Florida. We we we listen, ⁓ for your s like your son, ⁓ C4, you know he has autism and and all these things, and a law enforcement officer finally now, according to a new bill I saw, that they're gonna get training on it, but before then. They didn't know how to identify the difference between a mental health breakdown and autism. And they can be like, well, it looked like he's going through a mental health crisis. Take him to the hospital. Or or even I even saw cops abuse it just to get somebody off the streets. It's just that bad. That bad. That bad. Carlos: And if you wanna if you and I'm glad that I have a police officer that I can bounce this idea off of or at at least guide my thinking. I don't understand where it to me it has been proven ineffective. If you have a neighborhood that needs more policing, giving tanks and cameras and all that stuff is far more ineffective than actually building that community up, building up the schools and giving the police officers A better product, a better community to serve in. Am I wrong? Ronnie: No, you're not. Listen, I use the theory. When people ask me that question, I use the theory this. You have a fire. Throwing more fuel in the fire is not gonna tame that fire. But if I get a blanket and treat the community like a hug and I throw that blanket over that fire, that fire will still be burning a little bit, but it will be gone. The flame will be gone. I use that metaphor because law enforcement officer officers should be more of a community oriented kind of thing. Instead of a more of a reacting to a crime kind of thing. And that's why people, yeah, like that's what I'm saying. That's exactly how a lot of these cops treated as ⁓ let's go stop that car because it's 10. I bet you he had drugs in it. Like, like, okay, if he do have drugs in it, what is the point? Like, like, you get what I'm saying? I understand, but what is the point? ⁓ and and and you know what my first question is: how do you know that? Carlos: Or like pre prison. This is not pre prison. Cefore X. Plosives: Yeah. Carlos: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Ronnie: And it's more more than likely nine times out of ten, African American male. And this is a true story for my partner. I'm like, you can tell that he got drugged in car just by looking at the kind of car he's driving. Like, like, and so I approached my law enforcement career differently. And many people could tell you that. I worked in Mondora and I worked in the villages. ⁓ yes, the stories are true. Those are nasty, those are nasty people out there. Mondora is gorgeous. Carlos: Mm-hmm. Mount Doras Mount Dor is out s it's gorgeous. It's just so cute. It's so cute out there. Ronnie: Montor is really I l that's where I currently live. I live close to Mount Dor area right now. So it's beautiful. I approached law enforcement differently and that's why I was highly respected in my community. I didn't I didn't come to people saying, You're a damn criminal. What the hell are you doing? Forget you. I'm like, listen, what happened? What's wrong? And yes, you did wrong, but how can we fix it so it won't happen again in the future? Or if you ever go through that problem again and you can't control yourself, call me. Carlos: ⁓ cool. Ronnie: I live right down the block. I don't mind coming in uniform on all my day off and hanging out with you. Like and I did that. And I got interactive with my community. And I promise you, a lot of those children who was were bad before I got into their lives, they're died down a little bit. I promise you. Carlos: Mm-hmm. And if you want to get inner city kids away from trouble, you have to have after school programs. And then before you say, before you say, ⁓ w that investment doesn't work. No, it does work because it works in all the high, all the all the good schools, those neighborhoods, you know what they do after school. Ronnie: Hell yeah. It does. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Listen. Yep. Carlos: They go to all the sports, they go to all the all the clubs, they go to all the things, they go to all the things. Ronnie: I had it. I had it growing up. We had it. We had after school program. ⁓ we had the in New York City, you guys know we had the PAL program that right after school you go you you connect with the cops. And and that's why, you know, yeah, you get what I'm saying, the piece you go connect with the cops because these children nowadays are afraid. And I you shouldn't be afraid of people who who whose whose supposedly idea is to be there protect you. It's like but Cefore X. Plosives: police aesthetically again. Carlos: Mm-hmm. Ronnie: How can you blame them? Carlos: How can you? Cefore X. Plosives: do. Ronnie: You can't blame children. Like, you got children in Florida walking out of school because of what's happening with these ice. Like and and I'm I once again, first, I I'm always honest with you guys. Former law enforcement officer, and I'm all for abolishing ice. Cause they I I separate them and law enforcement because what they're doing is not law enforcement. What they're doing is terrorism. Carlos: No. Yeah. Cefore X. Plosives: ⁓ Yeah, they were just, so I work in a beer industry distributor, so I sell beer. like, just lately, there's been, last two weeks, there's been a big spike, right? So I got basically a Guatemalan community in my area, right? So what happened is I get a... Ronnie: Yeah yeah. Carlos: ⁓ I thought you I thought you were gonna say it was a big spike in beer sales. I was like, That's cause it's almost summer vacation Cefore X. Plosives: you No, it's declining, brother. We dropped them. We're falling off because the people are disappearing. So like, one of my owners was saying that one of the customers came in and said, yeah, so and so, he just got deported. He's been here for 31 years on a work visa. Cops picked him up, took a look at his paperwork, ripped it up and then took him. And within two weeks, he was gone. So they're not even putting him in the facilities anymore. They're turning in and burning him back to flights and getting him out of here. Carlos: Yeah. Cefore X. Plosives: So like there is no due process now. There's no before where they would bounce them around to all these privatized prisons and they play this shell game. They're not even going to that anymore. It's foul, bro. Ronnie: Yep, yep, you're right. And and and we're hearing it. We're hearing it. And ⁓ hey Carlos, I'm telling you, C4, you're right, man. We're missing in Orange County, they're missing over six thousand children in the education ⁓ sector. Six thousand. Over six thousand like that's concerning. And and I I Carlos: That's wild. But Cefore X. Plosives: Mm-hmm. Carlos: Like like ICE agents are picking up these six thousand kids? Ronnie: It's either they're picking them up or they're afraid to go to school. I have a I I have a dad. I have a dad that lives right down the block. He he he he he I he told me this story. I I had a town hall not too not too far in Mount Dora from his house. He said, Ronnie, I believe you're gonna do good a good job when you get to Congress and fight for us. I just can't come out. And I talked to him. I went to his house. He don't even let his children go across the street to the damn park. And it's literally come out his door, walk like Cefore X. Plosives: They're not going to school. Carlos: ⁓ Ronnie: To the corner across that street, right there. He didn't even let them go there because they're so afraid what's happening. He said, Ronnie, I he said, I could promise you this. If that school wasn't one block away, they probably wouldn't even be going to school. That's the fear that's happening. When I told you just earlier when you got children as as small as sixth grade walking at their schools, I went to one not too long ago. They're protesting that their friends that they knew since they were babies in pre-K and first grade growing up together. Now they're in sixth, seventh or eighth grade, they don't see them anymore. And now they find out why. They're like, Whoa, this is not right. And so we as adults is like saying, if our children is seeing these things and they are standing up and saying it's not right, why aren't we doing things the right way? And and it's sad. It's it's really sad. I I'm fight if you guys go on my Instagram, ⁓ we just fought for a girl named Lacinda, ⁓ in Lake County. ⁓ they released her finally with all the pressure and stuff. But she was literally driving down the block with a broken taillight, going to and from work. She's been in the United States since she was four months old. She came on a Dreamers Act. Her mom, I think her mom messed up on a paper or something like that. And they pulled her over. She couldn't provide any, she ⁓ she didn't have a license, right? They ⁓ and they said she couldn't prove her identity, but she had other paperwork to prove her identity. They took her to jail. Now hear me out, this is the messed up part. I'm not I'm I'm still not sure why they took her to jail. They could have gave her a notice to appear and let her come, whatever. But they took her to jail. The lake ⁓ Lake County Sheriffs or the Claremont Police Department went out of their way. That's not even a job. They went out of their way to call ice on her. Like, like, no. Look, look. ICE didn't put a hole on her. They didn't put a detainer. They didn't do any of that. They the local law enforcement officers went out of their damn way to call ice on her and they put a hold on her. And she was sitting in jail for almost two weeks wondering. Finally we fought and she got released. But this is what we're seeing all around. Like you just said, C4, people are being grabbed up from Cefore X. Plosives: Mm-hmm. Ronnie: Cuba and stuff like that and being sent to West Africa, South Africa and stuff. Like what what the hell are we doing as a country? ⁓ it's just it's just we had a laughing stock of this nation, man, and I'm just so fed up about it. Carlos: Ha ha ha. Hey let me toss let me t let me let me toss this out there too. Whenever whenever I talk to folks from the inner city, they wanna improve. They wanna go to different school. Just tell me what school to go to when I wanna do this thing. I just wanna make a living. I just wanna I just wanna What schools like all these folks in government that are getting found out for messing with kids, that are getting found out that they're on the payroll for all these political action committees, all these folks that you're tired of calling crooks, what schools did they d go to? Ronnie: ⁓ Harvard? Carlos: Was it was it Illinois Institute of Art Schomburg? Was it was it ⁓ Devray University? Or was it exactly what you said? Harvard, Yale. So don't don't yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So when normal people come to fix this problem, stop Ronnie: Nope. Nope. Cefore X. Plosives: League. Ronnie: All those big top schools where we can afford on a Mm-hmm.

However, however, when I deal when I'm talking at what school did you go to, Ronnie? Yeah. Ronnie: I'm just letting you know where my book is. Where my book at. I'm gonna tell you my my book right, where my book at. Me, I can tell you right now, I went to ⁓ Seminole State College right here locally in this area right here. Carlos: Did they teach you how to take pack money? Did they take you did they teach you how to take APAC money? Okay, I was just checking. Because from what I understand, the folks that go to Yale and Harvard and all those places, Princeton, from what I understand, they're here to take the check. They're here to take the check. Ronnie: ⁓ no. Cefore X. Plosives: Mmm. Really? Ronnie: No. You know what they taught me? Cefore X. Plosives: It's in the curriculum. Ronnie: That's what they teach them. And and let me tell you, we go to these these local colleges. That's why my plan is to strengthen these local colleges and make them universal freak. Because like we said earlier, ⁓ how to ⁓ you if you don't love yourself, how the hell are you gonna love somebody else? Why the heck are we sending money? And I'm not even bashing only Israel. And I want to tell people that I'm not only bashing Israel, I'm talking about every damn country that we in the United States send money to. We need to take care of our house first. Let me let me break let me break this down to you guys. Cefore X. Plosives: It's in the curriculum. Carlos: Mm. Hello. How are you gonna how are you gonna build schools in Africa when we need schools here too? I'm not saying I'm not saying we don't need to build b schools in Africa. I'm not saying that. Boom. Ronnie: Listen. I'm saying take care of what first. Cefore X. Plosives: you Ronnie: I'm gonna tell you how how we grew up in a household, right? And I'm gonna tell you from a black household, right? You got your cousins calling you for money only on when you get the tax check and everything like that. Pay your bills first, pay your house first, pay your phone bill first, take care of your household, and then take, you know, take care of your children, which in the United States is our allies, our children, our allies. And then you could branch out to your cousins, which is those people who don't you don't hear from unless they really need your back, ⁓ let's say ⁓ Israel, right? ⁓ Cefore X. Plosives: Yeah.

But like you said, how are we gonna sit up here and take care of them when we we want everything they got? Cefore X. Plosives: Watch out, watch out. Carlos: Yeah. And we're paying for it. Ronnie: And we pay for it. Listen, I don't like, I don't like candid. Listen, I don't like Candace Owens, but she made a good point when somebody came there and said, Why you guys saw against Israel? They're the number one technology place. And she sat up there and told the guy, Who you think pay for it? If we was to invest that money in our country, we will be the top one. I think that's true. Carlos: Yeah. You know why they got dope ass schools? You know why they have dope ass technology schools? Boom. America the wonderful. Ronnie: Cause we pay for it. America the wonderful. At least we thought it was. But don't hey d listen, listen, but like we said earlier, Carlos, man, don't give up on us yet because you got young, strong people like myself, and you got a whole bunch of us that we come from a different breed who who are tired of ⁓ just tired of it. And we have we now at a age where we are going to get away from Cefore X. Plosives: I love America. Ronnie: Just thinking about ourselves to thinking about the people and thinking about our future of our children, our grandchildren and and our great grandchildren. And who who how what kind of America do we want to leave them in? And that's why we're fighting now. And we we gonna change this whole mess. We're gonna change this whole mess because me I'm I'm gl I'm I'm sad that she leaving, but I wish she was staying. But me and Jasmine Cockett, we would have torsed ooh. We would have tossed stuff up in Congress. I'm letting y'all know, but don't worry. I still got my girl ALC though. Carlos: ⁓ yeah. Yeah. Cefore X. Plosives: Yeah. Carlos: Yeah. And you got you have you have you have so a new crop of folks coming in there. 'Cause ⁓ from what I understand, ⁓ Russell Cleveland, he's like the front runner. Cefore X. Plosives: There you go. Ronnie: ⁓ my boy Russ. Yeah, you guys talk to Russ? ⁓ Russ is Russ is doing it, isn't he? Russ doing it. Cefore X. Plosives: He's got his... ⁓ yeah. Carlos: Out there, yeah, yeah, yeah. Russ is fam, dude. Russ is family. Yeah. ⁓ yeah, and there's and there's a whole bunch of yeah, we have we have our primary out here in California too. ⁓ you have you have some young folks with with big voices and good ideas. ⁓ I wanted to get back to free education. First, I wanted to point this out Settle Flex. Cefore X. Plosives: He's got his primary today. Ronnie: Mm-hmm. Carlos: Cuba is one of the only places where you can go to school for free from kindergarten to your doctorate degree. You could become a doctor for free. Why is that important? It looks like they're they have bright groundbreaking medicine that addresses ⁓ Alzheimer's. When the world is struggling, when there's wars breaking out and stuff, we send soldiers. Cuba sends doctors. Nobody tells you that. Nobody tells you that. When there's an outbreak, from what I understand, the ⁓ and I've seen this, I've talked to a few people. When we came out with our COVID vaccine, now people are starting to see. Ronnie: Yeah. Carlos: They're starting to struggle with something that's happening internally with like histamine elevated histamine levels and all kinds of stuff. There's a number of people that I know that are struggling with the same thing individually. Ronnie: Yeah. Yep. Carlos: Cuba has their own. Number one, they were the first ones to come with a vaccine. And I haven't yet heard if if there's any side effects or anything. We're starting to see side effects on the American side. All that to say Free education is a great idea. How are we gonna get to it? Ronnie: So let me tell you how we get to it. And everybody asks me this question with everything else. And and there are other ways to get to it, right? You can tax the rich, you can pay your fair share. But I'ma always go back to this point. And people don't understand. I'm going tell you, I'm a realist. Y'all gonna love me. I'm a realist. Let me tell you. If we can find money for a freaking ballroom, If we can find money to build three F-16 fighter jets for Israel, if we can find money to give over a billion dollars to ICE agents, we can find money to investigate in Carlos: Hello. Tello. No no no no no don't no no no don't stop don't stop if we can find money if we can find money to threaten Iran with nukes and bomb them Ronnie: Let me keep going, hold on, hold on. Cefore X. Plosives: Keep going. Ronnie: If we can find money Let me keep going again. Keep going. You you you pass it on to C four. Go ahead, C four. Your turn. Cefore X. Plosives: If we had $91 billion of surplus money to spend on chairs and lobsters. Ronnie: Yep. If we can find seventeen seventy six to give to people who tried to overthrow our darn gong capital, we can find money to invest in our children in our country because we are supposed to be the number one country in the world. World. But we rely on other countries' medicines. Carlos: If we're the number one company in the world, w if we're yeah. If we're the number one country in the world, then why do we have to go to other countries to find the biggest and the brightest and the best? Isn't that supposed to be us? Ronnie: Because yep, because it's greed. And that's why I am glad what is happening that that that everybody's starting to realize that. Real like really realize that, right? 'Cause cause I tell people that they're not gonna understand until they get affected by it. And now everybody's and they're getting affected. Now now that Pandora box is is now breaking little by little and that's why they're freaking out, and that's why all the people that Trump ⁓ that he ⁓ endorses are losing and and and because guess what? Cefore X. Plosives: Thanks for Ronnie: People like, mm-mm mm, ⁓ From day one. First of all, we're still waiting for our Jeffrey Epstein files. Where they at, bro? Carlos: Yeah. Ronnie: We still wait for the gas prices to go lower than they were when you first took office. Where that's at? I think it went up almost. Cefore X. Plosives: there with it. Carlos: When dirty when sleepy Joe Biden was president. Where we at? Where we at? Ronnie: When sleepy Joe Biden was president. Well, people I I just don't re like I just don't under like, ⁓ great God. Listen, why do we every time as a Democratic Party has to go on and fix the mess of a Republican party? At what point are you guys gonna say enough is enough? Like we are not listen, people say we are the party we are the party that has to fix every time a Republican ⁓ president leaves office. And and look at everything that you guys have. Cefore X. Plosives: there with the... you Carlos: And yes, we do have we do have dirty players. We do have dirty players and we're trying to get them out of office too. Ronnie: ⁓ the ⁓ listen, listen, let me I'll be the first one to tell y'all. I'm a realist. I'ma say that I'ma keep saying that because I want y'all to know when I get to Congress, none of that shit is gonna affect me. If if Bill Clinton is in that damn Epstein Files, gotta go to jail. Gotta go. If if listen, I I I don't believe so. But if Barack Obama's in there too, gotta go. Like I don't care if you have a democracy Cefore X. Plosives: Hey. Carlos: Gotta go. Cefore X. Plosives: Go. Carlos: Yeah. Cefore X. Plosives: in that tan soup. Ronnie: I don't care if you have a Democrat, a Republican, a Independent, you you you you you the most famous person in the world, the richest person in the world. If you are in those fouls and you are indicted, you are you need to go to jail. You hear me? I'm gonna get closer for the people who can hear me in the back. You I don't care if you're black, white, Puerto Rican, Hispanic, you was a part of the black and white song of Michael Jackson. Go to jail. Gotta go. Cefore X. Plosives: Yeah Ronnie: It's just that because we need to stop looking at it as a as a party thing. It's not a party thing. It's a human thing that if you are if you touch those girls and those boys and and those children Carlos: Right. Ronnie: Phew, let me stop because I don't ooh. Carlos: And not just that, but not just that, but if you are a part of this crew that is watching out for each other while you do all these wild things, and then when you're done doing all those wild things, you're gonna turn around and screw over the country. Ronnie: Come over, bro. Carlos: We don't need that team here. We don't need that team here. Because then you're gonna continue to do dumb shit, not just here, but we're learning that they did it in England. We're learning that they did it in France. We're learning that they did it in Germany. Like it's it's bigger than just messing with kids. Like they're messing with the world. Ronnie: No, no, no. Cefore X. Plosives: Nope. Ronnie: As it's You're right. You're right. But look look at the difference though. Look at the difference between us and those countries. Look what just happened in the UK when they found out that he's even indicated in the Darren Files. You outta here. What you outta here. Carlos: Yeah. Yeah. That makes me wonder, let's let's go down that 'cause I don't get to talk about this stuff. ⁓ I try not to talk politics 'cause I when I'm off of the channel 'cause you know, I don't want people to like I d I need I need peace. Ronnie: I talk about it. Let's get it. ⁓ listen, you elected Ronnie into office, and I'm not gonna never lie to you. So Carlos: What were we just talking about though? Cefore X. Plosives: He's a realist. Carlos: He's a realist, anyway. My thought is gone 'cause I have ADHD and I'm like three conversations later. Cefore X. Plosives: Hehehehe Ronnie: We will talk about the EP files. Carlos: Yes. If you didn't know. It still don't matter. Anyway, all that to say. Cefore X. Plosives: if you didn't know. Carlos: This is it's just it's just shows you how far their greed will go and how little they think of you. If they will do that to a child, they don't care if they call ice on you. There's no respect there. They don't care that they put cameras all over the place to track you. They're the ones that are breaking the rules, but they're putting cameras in your Ronnie: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Carlos: Neighborhood. They're the crooks. They're the ones who are bringing down the world economy. They're the ones that are trafficking children in and out of this country to different countries. They're the ones that are making deals. And then when they ruin this one, they pack up their family and move to Argentina. Peter Teal just did that. Ronnie: Mm. Carlos: And now he's and now he's leaving us with this with ⁓ yet again what Ronnie was talking about. Now the Democrats are gonna have to come in here and clean up this mess. And yes, there are some shitty Democrats. We're trying to get them out. We're trying to get them out. Because how are you gonna work 147 days in a year that's three hundred and sixty five days? Ronnie: Man, listen, I would have been fired a long time ago in my job if I didn't come to work for almost a couple months. But so I I it's just like if they it you know, if if I can't do it as a normal citizen, how do people that we are supposed to elect to go represent us in Washington be able to do that and still take our money? Carlos: Tell ⁓ Tell them. Cefore X. Plosives: You ain't alone. Carlos: Yeah. Cefore X. Plosives: Ronnie, how would you feel if you went to work and they'd be like, you know what? You know I gotta come to work today. You know how to come to work today. You're good. We're gonna shut it down. See you in like a week. Carlos: And still doing center trading. Cefore X. Plosives: like, come on man. Right? You're getting paid. Ronnie: I mean how would I feel dependent? Am I getting paid? Am I getting paid? Am I gonna pay? Carlos: Yeah, you're getting paid. Ronnie: ⁓ we chilling. I ain't gonna say nothing, but Carlos: What are you gonna you gonna go home and do insider trading? Ronnie: I'm gonna do just like this. Look. Man, I I ⁓ I miss being at work. Carlos: Ha ha ha. Ronnie: Let's go that's go be me listen, but it's it's It's just like I'm gonna go back to your line, what you said earlier, that they're the crooks, but the American people are being treated as the criminal. And and it's and it's time that people open your eyes to understand that you have been lied to, and it's okay to accept being wrong. It's what you do after knowing you are wrong what really matters. We mess up, we human. I mean, ⁓ we don't expect everybody to be perfect to know everything. People lie to us, we go down a wrong path. ⁓ it's okay. Just don't make the damn mistake twice. And and and and and and come back to reality. I'm not actually to switch a party. I'm not asking you to do anything wrong. I'm actually to open your eyes to reality and elect people into office that actually is gonna stand there and fight for you, your family, me, my country, my my community. That's all we want. And that's all we all want. Carlos: Yeah. Learn. Cefore X. Plosives: Mm-hmm. Ronnie: That's it. I'm I'm I mean, I just that's what we fighting for and and and you know I I sacrificed so much to run for this race. ⁓ I you know, I I told you guys I got five children, I missed some games and I missed but it you know what? They my kids understand that I'm fighting for something far more important than missing one baseball game. I understand it's important to them. They understand that. I I go back home and I talk to them about it. But then when they realize what I'm really fighting for, they'll be like, Dad, that is more important than my game that you miss. Because it is. It is. Cefore X. Plosives: Yeah. Ronnie, you were at a commission. Carlos: Where did you get Rivera from? Hang on, hang on. Where'd you get Rivera from? Ronnie: I so listen, my family they're Puerto Rican. But my dad's name is Ronnie Murchison. I got my last name from my wife. So we lived in New York City. We were moving to Florida. We both didn't we got we wanted to get married in New York before we moved down here. And we both didn't want to get rid of our last names. So we just took each other's last name and it clicked Murchison Rivera. So I mean, listen, she's the boss. I love you. I mean, listen, listen, new day and age, new thing, but I love it, you know. Carlos: Okay. Ronnie: ⁓ it give it gives me some of my roots. My family from my mom's side are Puerto Ricans. ⁓ I found out, you know, so ⁓ I get the loot of in my heritage with me. So I you know, I get the rock the name. This is now my family name. ⁓ my kid, my family, my wife, my wife have my name, my kids have it, so ⁓ yeah, she makes she a month. She's Puerto Rican, German, Irish, her grandmother is Syracuse Indian. She got like all that little, you know Carlos: Is your wife Puerto Rican? Cefore X. Plosives: He said, ⁓ yeah. Ronnie: And just me Julia. There you go. Carlos: That's awesome. Cefore X. Plosives: Yeah, man. Ronnie: Yeah, man. I love you th that's my girl though, man. We've been together since we were hitting junior high school, man. She ain't going nowhere. We've been together since a long time. We were hitting like officially twenty years, ten years married, but we knew each other longer than that. From church and all that good stuff. So yeah. Carlos: ⁓ wow, nice. Yeah. That's so dope. ⁓ having this having having the right partner is such a cheat code. Cefore X. Plosives: Beautiful Ronnie: ⁓ it is. I'm telling you, this campaign right here. Without her, man, this this I don't got a campaign manager. She is the campaign manager. I mean, I got like I said, I got like about 50 people running this campaign, volunteers running this campaign with me, but without her, man, she's you know, she connects with people and then you know people connect as seeing, ⁓ wow, your partner? Not like somebody paid from Washington is putting in the work. You got really grassroots families. Carlos: Yeah. Cefore X. Plosives: Yes, sir. Ronnie: Coming together like they did it back in the day, standing 10 toes down for their community, their family. You got a ⁓ a girl doing this and a ⁓ wife. And then, you know, if you look at my pictures on my my website, I my kids go with me. They go protesting with me. They gonna see why we're doing this. And people like, damn, like you, you got your nine-year-old out here, and she loves it. She loves it. Dad, where we where we going? When we going back? Are we going back again? They love doing it, and you know. Carlos: ⁓ yeah. It's her future. It's her future. Cefore X. Plosives: That's... That's my dad. Ronnie: I love that they love fighting stand up for their future, man. I love it. Carlos: C four, you're gonna ask a question before I cut you off. Cefore X. Plosives: Yes, man, you were at a commission meeting recently, right? And you quoted scripture, Mark 12, 31. Love thy neighbor as yourself, right? What does that mean to you? Take it away, just take it. Ronnie: Mm-hmm. Lugging luggage run. Mm-hmm. ⁓ Listen, we all human. We all bleed the same color. We all gonna die one day. We all gonna have to answer to a mighty power, no matter if that's Jesus, Allah, whoever you worship above. While we on this earth, these are just shells that we are temporarily being in. And my heart beats just like your heartbeat. You might have tachycardia or something like that, but we still got the same heart and stuff. We are human. I I come from a a back ⁓ a perspective of why are we treating people differently because of what they believe in and what they love and who they love and why they love that? That is not my choice to judge them. That is not my choice. ⁓ my my wife is I told you how she's been my partner for a while, but she's a part of that community. She likes females. ⁓ who am I to stop her from doing that? That attracts her to something that I I don't have or or or s you know. ⁓ hating a transgender because they don't feel love in the body that they were givien. I mean, it's just who what kind of cruel human being are you to sit up here and I'm a s I'm specifically talking about why pe why I talked yesterday because we had a pastor. A damn pastor come in and say not that he do don't agree with this, far worse things. He was saying things like mutilating teens and putting a word put like it was just some some things where I looked at it as like you cannot be a man of God and talking that way because the God I know, the God I read, he didn't he didn't turn away those people in the pastor because they were gay or black or white or believed in something different. Carlos: Tell them. Ronnie: He says, No matter who you are, I love you. Come on with me. And and you, as a pastor, that's supposed to be that manger to the the the pathway to righteousness are gonna sit up here and spill these lies that I only know one person that ever talked like that in that Bible. And he was once an angel. Carlos: Tell them. Hello. Ronnie: Okay. So that when he talked like that yesterday, that's what came to my mind. The only person that was banished from heaven because of that that and so when I say love love your neighbor like you love yourself, treat them the way you would treat yourself in your family. Because just because they don't like what you like, doesn't mean they're different. They're not. They're human beings. They l they love. And let me tell you, my brother is full blown gay. And he and and I love my brother to death. And there's nothing I would do for my brother. And when I look at that community, I see my brother in all of them. Because I'm now a part of that community. I'm not gay. I'm a straight man. I got a wife. I don't I'm not gay on anything. But that doesn't mean Cefore X. Plosives: Yeah. Ronnie: I can't be a part of that community because I could tell you this, that community. I shit, I had some of the best times of my life in the club and stuff like that. I'm just letting you know they party differently and they're very respectful. They'll be they'll ask you, Are you into this? Are you into that? They'll you'll be No, they will never, ever, ever, ever try that again. And still you will have the best time of your damn life. And some of my closest friends now are a part of that community. And so Carlos: They know how to get down, son. ⁓ Yeah. Ronnie: I just don't understand why while we have a world where you have people rejecting people because of the people they love or who they want to be with. And so my theory is and it and this also ties into a woman rights to choose what the hell she wanna do with her whole body. ⁓ let these people be the who the hell they want to do and and be what they wanna be. And if it don't personally affect you as a family, even if it do, even if it do. So what? Like let it go. Life goes on. Yeah. Yeah, like Cefore X. Plosives: And these are your constituents. You know, you're gonna be representing these people. These, you know, and you're just telling them they're worthless, they're wrong, they're like, I don't... Carlos: Yeah. Ronnie: Yeah. Like like like listen, let me tell you, Randy Fine has been attacking the Muslim community before he even got elected. I don't even know how the heck he got elected because of that. Because that should like we sh listen, a lot of people in my district, and I'm gonna tell you what they're telling me, why they elected Randy Fine. We didn't know he was that type of person. That's a lot that's the number one ⁓ as amp answer I got from the Republican Party, especially from like the moderates. Now I'm not talking about those far right Carlos: Weirdos. Ronnie: that you never could help. And we got far left we got far left people that you never will change too. But I'm on the left and I don't even talk to the far, far, far left sometime because they can go crazy too. But my job is to try to understand the right side, right? And when I go to these areas and talk to these people, there's a far right s that you never will understand. But the the moderate ones they'll tell me, we didn't know he is that would that that bad. And I said, see, this is why you shouldn't just listen to what you hear in the news or a particular president Carlos: Weirdos Weirdos Yes, sir. Ronnie: Telling you to vote for Republican because you get somebody like him. And you even the far rights now, I'm I'm Carlos and C4, I'm telling you, the far rights, even some of the far rights, they were like, listen, I'm a Republican, but I am not voting for Randy Fine. Because he is he is too far that way. That's what we're hearing. And that's why we believe, no, no, we know we're gonna flip this district. Cefore X. Plosives: Hmm. Ronnie: this November because y you look look at Trump's polling. Now take somebody who's far worse than Trump, Randy Fine, and put them together. Cefore X. Plosives: Ugh, ugh. Ronnie: Exactly what we're hearing. And that's why our district is flippable because of the people who are running this district right now, they don't care about the people because we have Muslims living in this district. And when I tell you that the moment the moment I ran for Congress, they reached out to me and said, We're backing you. You guys don't understand who run a lot of these businesses in this country. Cefore X. Plosives: Mm-hmm. Ronnie: I'm just I'm just throwing it out there. Like like like go to New York City and go into a bodega. It's not a bodega no more. You got a few mom and pop autoqua shops. Cefore X. Plosives: That's it. Ronnie: But a lot of these stores and these small businesses are run by the Arabic and Muslim community. And Carlos: Muslims. Look at all the seven elevens. There's a pro there just so you guys know, there was a program that America like not necessarily invited them here, but they said, you know, it was a program that said you guys are going to run these shops because they're merchants. Ronnie: And they ran with it. And they ran with it. So when you got when you upset one of the most you talk about rich, we hear about Elon Musk and all those stuff, but you don't you you don't understand rich until to I listen, just last week, I'm I listen, you talking about personal, I can talk about this. Just last week, I talked to some people, they were like, Ronnie, we gonna get you elected. Carlos: And they ran with it. Cefore X. Plosives: It's different kind of rich, yeah. Ronnie: And I promise you, these people are loaded. And and not only they're loaded, they take care of their own. Carlos: Like Cefore X. Plosives: Yes. Ronnie: When I tell you that they take care of their own people, laugh at them, they wear the hijabs, they wear all this. But but I never in my life, and I lived in New York City, I never in my life saw a homeless Arabic or Muslim. Carlos: Tell him. Tell him. Tell him. Tell him. Period. Cefore X. Plosives: Never have I ever. Ronnie: Never have I ever. You know who I saw a lot of homies? Carlos: Period. Hey, and look how difficult and look how double look how difficult it is. And I live in California. Look how difficult it is to see a Mexican person that is homeless. Ronnie: You will not. You will not. Because they are some of the listen, listen, I tell people these farmers out here in Florida is hurting. But Arabics, Muslims, and and and Mexicans, they are some of the hardest working people I have ever met. Jews are too. I'm not I can't I can't see that. Cefore X. Plosives: Nope. Carlos: And take care and take care of eat and take care of their own. Jewish folks too, yeah. Jewish folks too. Ronnie: Take and yeah, listen, live I lived in New York City. A lot of my Jewish friends right now say, Ronnie, I want you to go on podcasts. I want you to go on news and talk about the horrible fucking things that's happening in Israel. Because that's not us. Because our families and friends and and ancestors just went through the Holocaust not too long ago. Why the hell would we want that to happen there right now? Like I s like so I tell people this all the time you guys mess with the wrong people. Cefore X. Plosives: Right. Ronnie: Right? You guys mess with the wrong people because our farmers are struggling. Our farmers in Florida, they are now coming out to against this president and saying, What have you done? Because even if we get all those Mexicans or ⁓ or people we deported back right now, it's still gonna take time to rebuild. You the messed up listen, hold on, hold on. Cefore X. Plosives: Mm-hmm. Carlos: Yeah. And who's who's letting who's letting the banks who's letting the farms fail? Is it the Muslims or is it the people running the country that went to those schools that we continue to talk about? Ronnie: You I listen, I'll take B for five hundred dollars, Alex, 'cause we already know what the answer to that is. I'm just letting y'all know I'm just letting y'all know that y'all the we the messed around and got us ourselves as some things that it's gonna take Cefore X. Plosives: Hahaha Ronnie: so long to get back and and not only with America, with our allies. Because why the h why why is Randy Pine trying to annex Greenland? Cefore X. Plosives: generations. Carlos: One hundred percent. One hundred percent. Ronnie: Like like listen, we don't we don't cause a chain reaction where even if a democratic president comes into there, our allies is now gonna have a second eye towards us and saying, Watch those Americans. Carlos: Yeah. One hundred percent. Can we trust these folks? Yeah, one hundred percent. ⁓ and this is historical too. This is historical. The powers that be, all these folks that go to these schools that we keep talking about, they will go into a country, destabilize that country, ask that country, play the game like we're asking you to play the game. And if they say no, that Cefore X. Plosives: Right. Ronnie: It is so. Mm-hmm. Carlos: You guys should read Economic Hitman, a book called Economic Hitman. It's a playlist that they play. First they go, they try to pressure you. It's like a three step plan. They try to pressure you. And then they I think the second one is they try to influence the elections. And the third one is they go in guns a blazing. Only let me tell you. Only read that book when your heart is ready because you will be upset. You will get upset. And then you're gonna see the pattern that is this playbook. And then it's gonna drive you crazy because they did it to the Dominican Republic. They did it to Cuba. They did it to Brazil. They did it to Argentina. They did it to the Middle East. All the countries in the Middle East. It's a playbook that continues to unfold. Ronnie: Listen, we got some work out for us ⁓ that we gotta cut. But I think I think we're gonna change it, but it's gonna take some time to get back. But I think we got a good set of head on our shoulders coming up for the new election. ⁓ I tell people that I wanted to talk about so much more here, but because I wanted to what's happening with the Voting Rights Act, the the what's happening in Tennessee, we're going back in time, guys. Cefore X. Plosives: Come back. Ronnie: We have the power to stop that this election. Listen, let me tell you, we have two more years to deal with this president, twenty twenty eight. But the power lies with Congress. And if you really want change and stop looking at it as a party thing and look at it as a people thing that that that that 'cause you're I know you're being affected. If I'm paying it I'm paying the same damn gas price as you are. So I know you're being affected just as much as I am. And if you want change, you have to do it and Stand up. It's okay to say my party is not doing okay right now. Let me try something else. And November is your chance to do that. Listen, you guys, we they had the same ⁓ theory about Obama and look what he did for our country in those eight years. He turned us great, and so give us a chance. I'm talking our Republicans, like give us a chance if you're watching, because November is very important. So November th November second. Or whatever your election is, I believe it's a second, sorry, I'm I'm brain farm right now, but I believe it's ⁓ November, come out and vote.
