  Speaker 1: And again we still have a foreign policy when we're
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: sending billions of dollars a year to Israel to support
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: a genocide, not just in my opinion but according to
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: an international courts. But we also have a foreign policy
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: that supports child migrants in uh the Congo mining cobalt
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: with their hands, that supports all of our technology and
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: they're not getting the financial benefits of that. We also
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: have a feign policy support their mining coal.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: T that must be what you're talking about.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I appreciate that, thank you, even
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: though I still think it might be cobalt. But that's fine,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Black children using their hands in their African country mining
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: raw materials that the West, meaning white people, bull meaning
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Trump's white supremacy is using to build wealth and African
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: nations are on benefit of that, benefiting from that. So
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: that's again connected to our foreign policies all funked up. Listen,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the American political system is rooted in white supremacy, and
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: we on the ground locally and nationally need to continue
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: organized to push against that.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: So that's been a part of it. Are you a
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: part of white supremacy in black face? And your position
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: in Congress? Because of the matter is you and Kamala
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Harris and Joe Biden and a lot of these politicians
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: who have been in office for decades. Kamala Harris has
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: been doing this for twenty one plus years, almost older
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: than me.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Not in Congress.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Hold up, Hold up, listen, listen. Joe Biden has definitely
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: been there longer.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Been talking about Biden, we're.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Talking about the system. I thought we were just talking
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: about the system we are. Second, let me finish black man,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: black man. You have voted to send that money over there.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: You have hold on, you have voted let me finish that,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: finish blaming my time. You have voted and been a
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: part of a party that upholds, built, cultivated, and created
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: these systems. Dare I even say perfected them? Dare I
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: even say perfected them? And so to sit here and
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: to say that our political system is all of these
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: things when you're in it right now, when a lot
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: of the people that we see coming across our screens
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: and creating the policy have been there for decades. At
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: the end of the day, whether or not Trump is
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: polished or not, because he's been doing this for four
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: years versus the person that's been doing it for twenty
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: one or before y'all. Oh, no, reverse biten up out
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: of there. Who has been doing it for multiple decades.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: They uphold all of it. And your party in particular,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: has been one who has created policies that have negatively
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: impacted people that look like me and you while sending
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: that money overseas. So I'm just trying to understand. If
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: it's rooted in white supremacy, then are you a white
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: supremacist in black face that's upholding these structures.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: So again, you obviously don't know me and don't know
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: my record to even be talking to people.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: The firal alarm. You lost your election, and now you're
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: sitting outside in DC after having a couple of drinks
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: at an event we were just at, i know, spending
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: his time with our lovely audience. I'd say at that,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: thank you absolutely.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: And that's besides the point that last point you just said.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: But anyway, the Republican and the Democratic Party have both
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: been complicit in supporting white supremacist ideology. So let's be
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: clear about that. In my opinion, the Democrats still have
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: done more to support working class people and marginalized people
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: in our cont For example, we continue to support social Security,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: we continue to support Medicare, we continue to support the
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Department of Education and other federal offices that serve the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: most marginalized people. I still want the party to go
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: further with issues like reparations, with issues like the George
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Floyd Justice and Policing Act, and many other issues. So
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I just want to be clear about that. Republicans, in
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: my opinion, this modern day Republican Party. And I'm talking
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: about one hundred years ago, twenty years ago, talking about
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Monday Republican Party. When I pulled that fire alarm, to
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: use your example, they tried to paint me as one
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: of the insurrectionists from January sixth. That was crazy. They
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: have no policies or very little that support the upliftment
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: of our communities. Whether it's affordable housing, whether it's childcare,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: whether it's paid lead, whether it's entrepreneurship, whether it's reparations.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: None of that that's party support. And so the system
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: has to change.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Oh Gas, like us, right, I don't talk about don't
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: talk about the things that you guys support when you
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: know that your party wasn't the one that created them. Like,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: how dare you say that Republicans don't support small or
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: minority businesses who cultivated wrote the bill for the Small
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Business Administration to be an administration for the AA program,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: which provides those no bid contracts for businesses like mine
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: to be able to work with the federal government in
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: the way that we're able to work with them. That
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: was a Republican that wrote that bill. There was a
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Republican that started the Small Business Administration, and the programs
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: that are predicated from the Small Business Administration once again
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: founded by Republicans. So you can't say that you're supporting
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: these things when the inception of those policies, the exception
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: of Social Security, and the inception of all of these
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: things were predicated by Republicans. But what I will say
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: is that both parties do need to do a better
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: job when it comes to tending to the issues of
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: black people and speaking to issues of black people. Absolutely.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: The problem that we have here is only one of
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: those parties relies on the black community to stay in
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: positions of power for decades, only one of them. Only
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: one of those parties promises things every election year, year
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: after year, the exact same things, and produces absolutely no
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: policies for their communities and I live in a very
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: blue city that was in a red state. I may
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: be in DC right now, but I understand how this works.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I used to also live in California when Kamala Harris
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: was my senator, and she was also my Attorney general.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: So I've lived under the rule of both Democrats and Republicans.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: And what I will say and what I can say is,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: in some of the largest cities that are ran by
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: blue and I'm talking super majority, the entire council is blue.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: The mayor is a Democrat. The areas that we live
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: in look the worst, and they rely on us year
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: after year to give them our vote in exchange for
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: absolutely nothing. So at the end of the day, if
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: anybody owes the black community anything, whether that be policy,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: whether that be reparations, it is definitely the party that
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: excuse our backs to get ahead.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christin Noman, the United States
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: are here illegally, your next you will be fine nearly
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: one one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and deported, you
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: will never return. But if you register using our CBP
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: home app and leave now, you could be allowed to
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: return legally. Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: America's laws, border and families will be protected.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security,
