• 2:14
  Speaker 1: But but you know, but that's what makes him so
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: popular and culture. Though it be those moments like that, No,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: it probably was him catching passes. I think that was rebellion. Man.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: You know that. That's why they loved the Bobby Browns
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: of the world. That's why they loved the Tysons. People
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: love rebells. It's a bunch of folks who rebellious, who
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: didn't catch passes. Don'tbody know them? Yeah, he didn't get
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame because exactly, first and foremost,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: you gotta be great, and you got rebellions and stupid
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and broke. Yeah so Michael, Yeah, so he but you
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: know he played he But but I appreciate the y'all
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: ain want nothing in the last generation, nothing Texans, all
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the oilers. Guess what Junior asking on my couch was
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: comfort sitting over here. Indeed, indeed, how the browning of
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Americans making white folks lose their minds? Look at that
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: look at that cover. Look at that photo that's when
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: January was six. He got his white guy's arms outstretched.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: He's basically saying all this is ours. And that really
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: does explain the reality of white American the history of
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: this country. This country was formed to create it for them. Uh.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: And so what they're freaking out about is where we're
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: now moving twenty forty three nation becoming a majority of
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: people of color. Uh. And it shows how their reaction
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: January six, remember Donald Trump targeted four cities. He kept
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: talking about Atlanta, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Detroit. Uh. And so the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: anger was that black turnout, the attacks on black turnout,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: gutting of Section four of the Voting Rights Act, gutting
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: of section two. Uh. This whole desire is this anger
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: at what's going on, because it's all it comes out
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: of money and power. Uh. And that's what it boils
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: down to. And so they don't want to give any
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: of that up. And if you look at the history
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: of America, every period of black success has always been
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: followed by white backlash from the beginning. You I mean
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: take the thing back to Civil War, reconstruction, Jim Crow,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: every period, and the anxiety is always are you gonna
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: lose our jobs. Are they're gonna take our women, You're
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: gonna lose our money. I mean, that's that. This is
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: in a constant deal. Even during during the civil rights movement.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Remember you're the Civil Rights Act to sixty four Voters
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Act of sixty five, but they feel it bustered Republicans
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and Democrats, the Fair House and Act. They were like,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: all right, we'll let y'all vote, but y'all can't live
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: with us. That has been a constant thing and we're
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: still seeing it. And this is not a white conservative thing.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: It's some white Democrats and progressives who also don't want
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: us to be to be a part of this economic
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: having that economic power and and having that h that influence.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: But because we've now changed with voting, we now get
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: our say so and they're struggling with that. And Donald
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Trump was not the beginning of that. This is gonna
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: be a continuation, I guarantee you over the next fifty
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: plus years. The media person, what do you think about
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Donald Trumps suing CNN? Okay, he sues a whole batch
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: of people and loses. That's his thing. His things to
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: cause may him, but he don't want their positions do
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: you think he don't. He don't want to have to
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: sit across. Look how long he fought Latitia James and
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: then they said four hundred times, I'll play the fifth.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Do you think he has any type of legs to
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: stand on with that with because he lies, he laughs
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: about lies. I think he does. How so I don't
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: think he'll win, but I think he does sympically because
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: what he's trying to paint CNN as is a news
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: network that only paints, that only shows one side of him,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that only shows one narrative, the liar. Sure, but that's
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: what he said. He said, they never say anything positive.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: That's a lie. That's what he says. He lies, and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: don't mean when people when people are running the montage,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: it's just CNN saying a bunch of negative stuff about
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: because he lies. So they're helping. They're not helping his
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: case if he's saying that, they don't ever say anything
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: positive about so you're saying that's literally so you're saying,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: see it and says positive things about him. They hired
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Kaylee MCKININNY. They hired people who came to his defense.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: He is a lie. The lawsuit is a lie. Yes.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: So the bottom line is they're not helping him. He lied,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: but they are helping him lies about they're helping When
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: people play the montage and say, well, listen to what
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: he said, he's basically telling you this is all they
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: do is paint me. Is now they're not. If you lie,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: okay every time, then they gonna run you lie. That's
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: like a woman saying, uh, dude saying I told truth
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: one time. Yeah, but you've been a hole. I mean
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you can't go I said some truth one time and
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: then go baby, while you calling me a lie because
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: you're a liar. But the best way to make him
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: be a liar is the show. No we do when
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: he does do something, I guess good, we do talk
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: about it. They do? They have I done that because
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: because Trump is saying, they don't ever say anything positive
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: about him. If the basis of the lawsuit, Charlemagne, okay, Charlemagne,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: you literally are trying to provide some common sense to
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: an uncommon lie, there is no there's no common sense.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: They if they've hired people on the air who have
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: defended him, is that positive? Yes, Okay, they've hired him.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Kaylee mcnanny was an airhead. She was anti Trump and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: then she flipped. She later became his press secretary. So
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: his whole deal is everything he does his lie. He
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: is whole mantra of fake news. The whole point is,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw it out there and my thought is
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: gonna believe that anything you say is a lie. So
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: even when you tell the truth, then it's a lie.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: His whole deal about the big lie about the election.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: That's what it's all about. His whole goal is to
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: cause the centric it's called disruption. And now what has
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: happened again part of white lie, white fear. All of
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: these individuals, they're not running for office, people running for
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: attorney general, secretary of state, governor, they're not running for
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: boards of elections. They have taken the lie and they
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: not have weaponized it, and they now want to take
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: over voting apparatus in numerous states. And so the lie
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: has now been weaponized to the point is now expanded.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: You literally have hundreds of candidates on the ballot in November,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: who a lie with him? Lyon asked Jenny Thomas, okay, clarens.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Thomas's don't mess with my Jenny okay. Went before the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: January as his committee, and she said the election was
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: rigged lyon. So he is a liar. He's a flat
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: out liar, and he can go to hell. Question do
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: you think do you think that's just the risk you
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: run when you have like opinion based platforms, Like sometimes
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: people might hit you with a defamation suit or a
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: slant the suit for first of all, defamation and slander.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: There's a high legal standard for public officials. Yeah, okay,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: you have that, But when you're operating on truth, then
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: that's the piece. Look, I got Republicans who don't want
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: to come to my show because I don't let them lie,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and so the piece so and that's why I get
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: upset when I watched a lot of these shows and
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: folks lie. So for instance, when sorry as Bill Maher
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: allowed that woman the other day to lie on Kamala
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Harris and then he didn't correct her when she talked about, oh,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: he puts in all these men, she sent all these
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: men and women to prison for weed uh and and
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: breakfast club. And then Bill Maher sitting there with his
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: pothead sell, don't say a word. I don't let folks
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: lie because when you when someone lies, if they're listening,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: to this show and a lie is told and you
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: say nothing for me, the public goals, well, h Angela
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: NV and Charlotte didn't say nothing, so what they said
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: must have been true. No, well no, no, what he
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: did was why why he didn't didn't correct him? And
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I was like Van van Sure said, wait a minute,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: what you just said is a flat out lie. You
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: don't let lies stand, and so that's why, and I
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: don't tell them. I'll let you finish. What you're not
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: gonna do is sit here and lie, and I just
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: sit there and just nod and let you continue. Because
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: the public needs to have enough faith in us that
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: we have enough information and the moment you lie, we say,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: way to stop, that's not true, or if you gotta
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: prove that, you're not just gonna throw something out there.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: And so that's how that's why this microphone cameras are important,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: because we have to we have to have so much
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: trust in it and have and have care with it
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: that we refuse to let anybody lie in our face.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Because the audience goes, well, that must be true. So
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: they now run with that lie, and now it's harder
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: to bring it back in as supposed to say stop.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: What you just said is simply incorrect. But I need
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: you give us some facts now because I know people
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: will see this and they'll be like, well, Kamala Harris
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: did like a bunch of a whole bunch of people
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: before weed in California. Well, first of all, if you
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: actually I have actually brought on a brother who went
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: through the whole record, the number of prosecutions in San
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Francisco decline from the previous DA when she became DA two,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: they created altern to programs for individuals who had U
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: who arrested for weed. Second of all, the number of
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: people in California when the prison there was one went down.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: So again, when people say, well, just what you said,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: she like a whole lot of people? Up? How many?
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: M no, how many? No, no, no no, but you just
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: said you just said she liked a lot of people.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: How many? Oh, I didn't say that. I was quote
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: quoting No no, no no, no, no, no no no. You
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: quoted folks who did not have accurate information. So even
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: whatso even so even that's no, no no no no no
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: no no no no no, he's it. Though, So even
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: when we say, some people say, I don't even reference
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: lies because what I'm now doing is I'm now weaponizing
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the lie. So even even the corrected you don't reference it,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: even the corre you don't reference. No, no no, no, it's
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: not a question to correct. What I'm not gonna do
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: is some people say she locked up a lot of people.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: First of all, let's break that statement. Now, what does
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: it even mean? What's a lot? Okay? If she locked
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: up five thousand, well, homedy were locked up before her?
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Was it ten thousand? So ten thousand locked it before her?
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: And then she locked up five thousand, that's a decrease. Correct,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: So again that has to be stated. Second of all,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: does the Attorney general lock people up boards of local
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: DA's see? So again I don't just go some people.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I hate that phrase because because even stating that, it
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: has to be rooted in fact. And that's why I
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: don't simply do any that. Anytime I forced people to
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: have to defend a statement and say no, no, no,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: you need to provide evidence to back that up. And
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: so so what if somebody says, well five thousand was
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: too many, Okay, But if it was ten thousand and
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: she came in and changed the policy and then it
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: was cut in half, do you not give credit to
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: cutting in and a half where I come from, you
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: actually do. It's called context. And the problem we have
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: especially with too many of these of them gossip blogs
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: and these people who are aggregators, who all they do
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: is repeat something else somebody else. Right, they don't have
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: any contexts. They provide no nuance, they provide no factual information.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: They don't ask the second question too often, as Katherin
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Hughes said, they ain't deeper than Mustart on a high
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Dog said, making white folks lose their minds. Right, Yeah,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: So now what does that mean for minorities and black people?
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: What should we be most worried about? Well, what it
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: means is, I don't want us in twenty forty three,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: in twenty fifty to look like South Africa where black
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: folks who had the numbers got political power but still
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: were economically deprived or to pro educationally. And that's what
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: it boils down to. This is about power. Right now,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the Congression of Black Caucus has fifty eight members. Supreme
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Court is hearing two cases where there should be the
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: additional seat in Louisiana and Alabama that will go up
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: to sixty. Governor Ronder Santus in Florida completely obliterates black
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: districts because they want to let more Republicans. That is
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: about power. When you're talking about elected office, that's power.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: That's control over resources, that's allocating billions of dollars. That's
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: what this thing all boils down to. And so what
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about is we have to recognize what's going
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: on here. We gotta be in a situation where, Okay,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: federal government right now five hundred and sixty billion dollars
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: to spent every single year on contracts. We get one
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: point six seven percent of those contracts. Well, if you
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: now have more representatives who now use the levels of power,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: increases that. In the speech Saturday night before the coression
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: of Black Caucus Foundation, Biden talked about taking those numbers
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: up to I think it was one hundred billion dollars.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: That's going to be a tall task going from nine
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: to one hundred and five years. But that's the whole point.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: When you talk about this infrastructure bill that was passed
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: one point two trillion, more than six hundred billion, it's
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: gonna be for transportation. I moderated the panel with Secretary
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: of People Buddha judge talking about how are we going
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: to benefit from those contracts? Leveraging that is power. You
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: look at the fight that we have in the advertising
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: industry through twenty two billion spin every year, only point
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: five percent going to black owned media, and we've now
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: forced General Motors and Target and McDonald's and these numerous
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: companies to increase their black owned media spin. That's leveraging,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: using your leverage and influence to drop economic power. And
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: so we can't we can't lose sight of how do
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: we take advantage of that? What you have folk here,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: do not want us to be able to build, to
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: be able to grow, because when we're frozen out of
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the economic piece, then guess what every other issue that
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: we care about, criminal justice, reform, mass incarceration, education, it
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: all ties back the money in America. If you ain't
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: having a money conversation, you're not having an American conversation.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: That's what this bols down to. When even when you
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: say white folks have lost their mind, you know, history
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: shows us they never really had it. Sound right, well,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: but but but but obviously you understand the phrase there
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: because he now is becoming real to you. Remember the
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: last election seventy one twenty twenty, seventy one to seventy
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: three percent of total turnout was white. Okay, So that
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: so people sit there and go, oh, without black folks
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: won this election. Okay, yes and no, but the bomb
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: line's just here. That means that African Americans Latino's agent
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: of Americans. All combined, we were about twenty eight total.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: But you're now seeing that drop. You're now seeing how
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: the numbers are changing. So when you hear the great
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: replacement theory, okay, this fear they're replacing us, No, they're
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: replacing you white folks, y'all stop having babies, Y'll stop
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: having sex. That's what actually happened for the increase that
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: cause the white death rate caused the white the white
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: uh caused the white death rate increase, but also life
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: expectancy to actually drop as well. But COVID also caused
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: black man's life expectations to drop about three years. So
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: all these things are happening before us. The thing that
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: that they right now, I think it's about twelve states
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: the annual white death rate is higher than the white
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: birth rate. So they're angry about an increasing minority population.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Yado ones who stops growing? How you mad at us
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: because you stopped having kids. And this has been going
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: on in Europe the last fifteen years. The reason you
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: had this this immigration back last in Europe is because
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: guess what, Italians, their numbers are dropping, the French, the Germans,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: and so for for nations to continue to continue to
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: be strong, you literally have to replace people, meaning you
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: have to either birthmore people or you must have immigration
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: to be able to sustain a country economically. That's just
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: that's just simple math. And folks are hating that, but
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: they don't want to deal with that, and their reaction
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: to this is that's why we hear these phrases, we're
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: losing our way. But what does that mean? We're we're
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: losing our culture. Well, first of all, what's our culture?
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: We're losing what we know America to be? Well, what
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: does a what exactly is America to you? So that's
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: why the Kaethartic thing was so strong, because they were like,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: how dare you? It's first responders, it's the flag, it's America,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: And we're like, we kind of look at that a
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: little bit different from y'all. Since you brought up immigration,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: can you talk about the governors in Texas and Florida
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: and the whole situation with the flying and busting migrants
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: to Martha's vineyards, pushing buttons of white fear. Here's a deal,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Texas is our native of Texas and I'm still raised
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: the vote there. Do you understand the Texas economy? You
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: take out Latinos and black people by Texas. Here's the
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: other crazy thing. Because of the last census, Texas picked
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: up several new congressional seats because of population. What fuels
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: that population growth? Latinos? What did they do? They basically,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: they basically created three white Republican districts, one Latinos. I find,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: what give you one? But the growth was driven by
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Latino population. So what you have is you have Governor
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Greg Abby Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick again pressing the buttons
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: of white fear, and these folks that run around, Oh
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: my god, we're losing our state. First of all, Right now,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: majority of kids in public schools right now are black
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: and Latino. Now ask the question, who's controlling those economic levers,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: who's controlling those dollars, who's controlling the curriculum, who's controlling
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: the hiring of teaching? So what's that's what you're seeing,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: and so what Rhonda Santis is doing in Florida, what
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Greg Abbot is doing in Texas, they are fueling that
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: white rage. Everything about critical race theory was about fueling
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: white rage, this anger against d EI, diversity, equity, inclusion.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Look at the reaction all these white conservatives had to
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: when Vice President Kamala Harris hit the other day, we're
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: going to ensure this equity when it comes to Hurricane
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: even she should have stood on that. I hated as
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: she backed up off of that. Right. What they should again,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: what the White House should have said it is I'm sorry.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Here are examples of previous hurricanes and natural disasters. Report
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: has been done in The New York Times, been done
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: by other media outlets, pro publicating others showing how black
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: and brown communities were shorted out of dollars when it
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: came to Hurricane Relieve it is undeniable. But see again
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: what happens is and this is where liberals and progressive
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: really pissed me off because they don't know how to fight.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: They get pushed back from conservatives and Fox News and
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: conservative radio, and they all take it and run with it,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: and it's like, oh my God, they upset, tell him
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: go to hell and say hit him with the facts.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: And see they're unwilling to challenge them. I like Mark Levin,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: conservative radio talk show hosts. He was going off the
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: other day on me and Maya Wiley because when I
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: moderated a voting session at gregenal backcacause and he goes
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Roland Martin, he's such a liberal, he will never invite
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: me on his show. What it was a brother who
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: was listening, who was texting me while I was live
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: on my show. What he said? I said that, what
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: he said? I invited his ass on the show right there,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: didn't have my producer call when the show was over.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Then hit him the following Monday. He hain't hit back.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: See they are used to throwing rocks, but they ain't
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: used to getting hit. The White House has to learn
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: how to hit, how to hit hard. Look, Chris christ
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: is still mad after I lit his ass up on
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: ABC this week. That was a year. I ain't been
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: invited back since, but I had been on in twenty
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: months when I went on there, and my whole deal
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: was when the topic came up, I'm gonna hit you,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: and so we we we we can't be afraid. There
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: are people are like, well, I mean, you know, I
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: mean the title in your book is is provocative. I said, well, hey,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I said, Larry Elder put a book book out called
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: stupid Black Man. I said, and y'all at them, I'm
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: gonna call it like it is because it is white fear.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: The studies show it. They are running around, Oh my god,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: we're losing, We're gonna be losing resources. And Steady came
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: out twenty eighteen. This is laughing where white voters is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Two thousand and eight, white voters were said they were
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: they were rebelling against welfare programs because they were losing
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: money and menards were gaining. You knew, it's more broke
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: as white people in America, absolute people. You know, who
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: gets more welfare? White people? Who gets more of medicated
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: white people? Who when you at cutting poverty, when the
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: numbers increase, who increases the highest? White people? But the
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: problem is media for more than fifty years has created
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: the picture that welfare as black black people. So in
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: their minds when they oh my goodness, they're coming up,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: they're benefiting. In two thou what started this book in
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: two thousand and nine study was a pole. The question
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: was asked, this is around Obama's inauguration, are you optimistic
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: about the future of America for your children? Every group black,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Latino Asian majority said yes. Only one group was less
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: than the majority White Americans. September twenty sixteen, question was asked,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: are you optimistically about the future of America economically for
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: the next ten years? Black people lowest wealth, highest optimism,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Latinos second, lowest wealth, highest optimism, White people highest wealth
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: by far, lowest optim And you gotta say, hold up,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: how y'all got more money than anybody else. Do the
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: little optimism because they see that train coming, because their
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: children now have to compete. You got white men in
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Hollywood right now. I mean, we can't get a new job. Oh,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: the black people, we can't get a job. Oh I'm sorry.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Y'all are used to getting ninety five percent of the jobs.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Now it's you're getting eighty eight percent, and you're pissed
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: it went down seven. Look at the author, James Patterson.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: I don't care about that grant, that million dollars he
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: just gave Howard University. Why did he give it because
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: previously he said it's tough now for white men to
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: get books published. Have y'all all seen the book publishing
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: world and how many white men got books published? And
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: even when you look at the New York Times, it's
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: like those listens so racially biased, like the top ten
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: would mostly be white people. So well, they so they're
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: running around now going oh my god, we're losing everything,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: and you're going, how y'all got They literally are angry
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: because they're getting two and three and five percent less,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: right because, like you said, that their son a job.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: That's it right there. I remember in twenty sixteen morning
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Joe was having this conversation and Joe Scarborough was talking
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: about how, you know, he understands, you know, how these
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: white men are feeling because that was his one white guy.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: He said, you know, I wish was back like in
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three, when when I got my job, I
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: can just pick the phone up and get my son
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: a job. And I remember Joe Scarborough made made this
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: comment about how the wages of black men increased of
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: what the wags of white men didn't, and I was like, what, Joe,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: or would you like to go back and see what
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: the wags of black men were in the early seventies,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: common sense tell you black folks were so low economically,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: of course the numbers might increase because of Jim Crow.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: See that's the thing I love. These people who want
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: to act like Jim Crow never existed. As as if
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: you didn't get your first wave of black people in
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: the media until the late nineteen sixties, early seventies, the
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: first wave of black people. I met the first brother
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: who ever worked at a bank in Louisiana, and he
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: got hired the year I was born. Damn bro But
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: but but so we're here. We are look keen because
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: assassinated in sixty eight, fifty four years ago. So when
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: you look at the growth of what happened with black people,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: we really so you seventy seventy as the marker, really
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: because fair House an Act of sixty eight, a firm
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: of actual When Nixon comes in, you're only talking about
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: fifty two years that we've been technically free, fifty two years,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: fifty two years where we've been able to actually get
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: government jobs, get corporate jobs. We're only on the second
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: generation of African Americans in corporate America. So we talk
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: about where we're going economically, we're not we're not talking
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: about you know, a hundred years. I'm fifty four in November,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: which means I was born not fully free. My nieces
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: and nephews are the first generation of Martin's born technically
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: fully free. See, we've got to stop, you know, We're
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: gonna look at this thing a lot differently and understand
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: how this system has has so beaten us down and
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: how we have survived and fought against it and rebelled
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: against it. So why they're angry is because we now
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: are saying angela voice matters, End's voice matters, Charlemagne's voicesn't matter.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: They now like damn they not on TV here, not
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: even start their own digital shows, start their own digital networks.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Because we now got a voice and was ticking them off.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Is were willing to use it? Question? You know, we
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: talk about freedom, and I wonder what we're doing with
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: that freedom? And you have the chapter to fight to
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: educate black minds. Absolutely, what is the best way for
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: us to educate our minds? No, because there's a lot
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: of information out there, but don't mean it's the correct information. Well,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: first off, we have to we have to return back
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: to the further that existed um post slavery Um. There's
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: a book call of Education of Blacks in the South
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: from eighteen sixty to nineteen thirty five. Unbelievable book, uh,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: And it talks about that period, talks about how these
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: white abolitionists came down from the South and they were like, Oh,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: we're coming down to help these these freed slaves get educated.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: They roll up there and they'd already started five hundred
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: of schools. They were like, Oh, we weren't waiting on y'all.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: These free slaves were there. He lays out in the book.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: He lays out in the book that of black children
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: in Memphis were in school, only forty one percent of
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: white kids in DC were in school. So that was
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: a fervor, that was a That's why you had generations
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: of black people who had second and third grade educationally like, look,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: but they sent twelve and fourteen kids through college. And
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: so that fervor has to return because what that does
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: is that absolutely equips you for what you're about to face. Now.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: When you do that, you now have to pair that
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: what's happening economically. What we have to do also is
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: begin with education, began to teach our children not to
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: live by white validation, yes, not be a by white validation. Folks.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I had folks who came to me and they said,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: when I have the TV one show, hey man, we're
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: gonna get you a show, bro, I'm on five days
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: a week. No, no, no, no no, no, I mean a
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: real show like CNN, MSNBC. I said, do you know
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: that when Brian Williams come to incomes to DC, he says,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: in the same chair. I said, brother, like, what do
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: you mean? I said, Oh, you didn't realize. We contract
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: the studio out with NBC News Channel. We use the
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: same camera, same set, same walls, same fiber optics, same
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: control room. I said, but you don't think it's real.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: That's white validation. And so part of that education is
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: affirming who we are, who we are now. The King said,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: he said, we have to sign our own emancipation proclamation.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: He said that we can't allow someone else to affirm us.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: That's a part of the education piece. And so that
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: means when we are creating our own we cannot. I
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: had I would tell anybody who worked with me when
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: I was a TV one if I hear you say, well,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: you know we black, You're not gonna work here, because
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: that phrase alone behind it means we're not as good,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: we're second class. And so that's a part of the
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: education piece as well. Now you have to marry the
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: economic piece when you begin to talk about how do
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: we fight for equity in all of these all of
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: these systems, and that means how do you leverage it? So,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: if you're a company out there, if you're a car company,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: here's my first question. What's your black market share? Your
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: black market share is twelve fourteen, fifteen percent? People go,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: we got a boycott? No, no, no, here's the whole deal.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Because I had a meeting with one car company. I said,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: do y'all understand I don't need to take you from
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: fifteen to five. If I take you from fifteen to fourteen,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: a bunch of y'all gonna lose y'all jobs because that
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: means fifteen to fourteen, that's billions of dollars. I said, So,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: now y'all want to have different conversation about black on
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: media spend. See, it's understanding how we have to leverage.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: So we didn't have to ask, okay, how many of
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: us shop here? That's why I folk got to read
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Martin Depp's book on Operation bread Basket, where they laid
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: the strategy out which one of them was. One of
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: them probably argue the most successful initiative of the King
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: left us. Reverend Jackson picked up, but they actually got
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: it from Rever Lee On Sullivan out of Philadelphia. But
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: that's about That was about It's about economics. What we're
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: doing is we're actually in many ways not fighting smart
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: which also goes to the education piece. When I support
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: charter schools because if I get to control of school
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: and control who gets hired, and control of spending, and
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: control of contrast and control the curriculum, hell, I'm down
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: with it. So I'm not gonna fight something that people like, well,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: white folks, white racist created charter schools. I was like,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: can you show me something in America white races didn't create.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: So again, it's understanding, how do we now operate from
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: a state of mind where we're willing to own, we're
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: willing to take advantage of, and then willing to build that.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: That is a state of mind. I long said we
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: need a massive reprogramming in Black America, a massive reprogramming
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: to think and operate differently for the next generation. You
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: saw Kanye do the White Lives Matter. I don't get
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: a shit about Kanye. Let me bundally clear. When you
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: spend when you expend energy on a fool, then you
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: end up discussing a fool. Did I post it? Nope?
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Did I tweeted? Nope? Kanye is utterly irrelevant to me.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: He feeds off of the drama and I will not
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: feed that beast. He can go to hell with cannas owns.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: I don't really care in your in the white fear,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: in the conclusion chafter the New American World order, you
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: talk about how the same level of white resistance the
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: black conclusion has to operate now in the reverse. Can
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: you can you explain it? Yeah? And that is we
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: we have to we have to understand that this fierce
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: fight is not going away, and so we must be
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: hell bent on fighting white supremacy, white nationalism. And we
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: can't get caught up in policle alialogy. You can't be oh, well, uh,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: you're on the right and you're on the left and
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: you're my friend. No. No, here's why. It's a whole
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: who controls the money in democratic politics, White strategists, who
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: would they've locked out black strategists, black posters, black on media.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: I went to a meeting. It was a it was
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: a it was a money meeting of all the different
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: buyers in DC, the big old meeting, about three hundred people.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: It was full black people, me and three others. And
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting there going this, who controls political spending? Nine
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: billion dollars would be spent in this political cycle they
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: have created. They got company where they become millionaires, and
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: then they sit there and they run campaigns for candidates,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: and the black candids have no control over their campaigns
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: because the strategist are running it. And so I'm gonna
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: hit the white Democratic strategists the same way I'm gonna
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: hit Republicans. I did this. Look, the Obama people were
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: mad at me. I didn't give a damn. But when
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: you saw the spending, even when he was president, only
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: less than two percent of that money was going to
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: firms that had a black partner or African Americans. It's
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: the money. You don't follow the money. You're not having
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: an American conversation. So we must, we must fortify ourselves
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: for what is happening, and understand here are not trying
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: to give up power easily. They're not doing that, and
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: so we've created a whole generation of kids. Oh no, no,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: we've fought these battles for you. No. No. When Bernard
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Shaw got rested Soul, when we hit CNN and we
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: hit Jeff Zucker because they had no black EPs, vps, SVPs,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: EVPs and direct reports onto the board of na BJ,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Bernard Shaw made a comment when he got a Lot
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Time Achieving award in Vegas in two thousand and seven
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: where he said, white men, your respect in the ocean
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: of color. And I called him and I said, were burning.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: I just want to get your permission. I want to
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: use your clip. And this is what he said. He said, Roland,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: He said every generation has its turn. Now it's your turn.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: What he was saying is I'm old. We fought. Now
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: you got to pick that thing up. That has to
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: be our fighting spirit. We've got to wake up and
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: think about this thing not in terms of am I
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: gonna get paid? But the battle that I'm trying to fight.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Which is why I'm saying Black people, prepare ouselves twenty
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: forty three, because by twenty fourty three, I'm seventy something
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: years old. I'm talking about a battle for nieces and
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: nephews and their children's children. I do not want Black
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: America to be having this conversation in twenty forty three.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. You said in that chapter of
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: that white folks need to do to have you lived hell, Yes,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: we need white folks to take the lead on calling
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: out racism and bigotry. Yes, what reason would they have
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: to do that? Easy? Because guess what it ain't. It
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: ain't reversing. I mean, it's not reversing. You need more
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: more white Jane Elliot's more white. Tim Wise, you need
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: more conscious white folks because they're in spaces we're not in. Okay,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: They're at dinner tables, they're at sorority meetings, they're at
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: the country clubs, they're in their in business meetings, when
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: things are being said, when subjective things are being stated. Again,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: it was again going back to that ridiculous segment on
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Bill Maher where a white woman goes, come here, she's
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: off putting. Stop what the hell is off putting? Everybody
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: black know what that phrase means, or you know, they
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: just don't. It's not a good fit. Okay, So they
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: have to sit. They they can't let stuff be said
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: that that goes unanswered. So it's no different if we
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: are men and bros are making comments about women, you're like, hey, ho, no,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: we ain't going that. It's like people get mad at
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: me because I refuse to let people use then in
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: word at me on my social media. I'm like, no,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: first of all, how you call yourself conscious, but you're
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: using language of the oppression. I'm confused. I'm trying not
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: to no. No, But it's not that hard. And so
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: it's you know, it's only hard when you're talking about
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: actual in words. No, it's not hard because sometimes you
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: see some something No it's not no, it's not no,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: it's not because you can say that's bullshit. What's the difference.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Don't hit it hard this plump hand. No, No, yes
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: it does, yes, it does, just just it could be that.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Or look or when you see somebody, if I see
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: you know you're gonna say what's up? My No, my
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: brother is far more affirming. Again, but again, that's say
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: that is retraining one's mind. Look, I said the N
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: word for a long time. I haven't said the thirty
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: plush years because I trained myself to say no. There's
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of words we don't use now that people
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: used to use that absolutely, But again we know you
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: cannot say certain things now. I feel I got about
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: to be word. Though everything you're saying I totally agree with.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: I just don't know why your mind is conditioned to
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: keep it easy. Because because the power of white supremacy,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: and this is something that we have to confront, the
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: power of white supremacy is so strong that it has
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: always forced us to see ourselves as less than God.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: And there's nothing worse than seeing rself as less than
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: to use something at the oppressor used against you. And
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: then you go, oh, we reclaimed it. No you didn't,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: because you can't get mad if somebody white use it.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: If you so called reclaimed it, how about you obliterated? Period.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: It doesn't even come into my consciousness as the first
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: thing to say with that video the white guy in
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: Texas who went to the door, run the doorbell and
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: he said, hey, we're talking to the nigga. I'm sorry,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. He No, it don't come out that easy
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: if you're not using it. And so I want I
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: want us to take that same reprogramming which I have
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: to do for myself, and now apply that to everything
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: else in terms of how we look at our community.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: When out to people to buy my book, say, look
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: it's availbout all these bookstores target Books, a million bars, Noble,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: or called the black bookstore. See that's a state of mine.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Who you know what I want to get the book?
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: I'm a I'm an order through a black bookstore. That's
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: black economics, that's practicing. And so it's a state of
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: being where we have to be in to now begin
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: to understand. Just like when I challenge people, Oh, if
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: I post something about Nick Cannon and Eddie Murphy on
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: my Instagram by thousand comments just they had ten kids here.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: But if I did it for a reason, And I
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: came back and I said, why look at all these comments,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: I said, But when I post about us accessing three
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty two billion, I said, oh, it's eighteen comments.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: I said. Now let me ask y'allot question which one
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: has a greater impact on Black America access in three
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty two billion or Nick and Eddie's kids? Well,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: rolling no, no, no, no no, no, ask no, I ask yourself.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: The question which goes to what we give our energy
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: too is where our time and attention goes. I'm saying
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: we should be stepping I'm not saying we shouldn't have fun,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: we can't talk about and joke about stuff. What I
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: am saying is the amount of energy that we spend
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: on sheer bullshit. It's also what is affecting our community
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: in a negative way. And then we wonder why we
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: are broke. Because if we broke economically, we broke spiritually,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: we broke mentally. And that's what I'm trying to get
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: us to understand reprogram ourselves for the future. I agree
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: with you what you said about dan Ord too, because
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: like I never use it as a term of endemic.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: I use it in the way that white supremacist us
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: and see I won't because I'm not a white supremacist
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: and I'm not going to further their agenda. That's how powerful.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: See the reason I talked about, even when we talk
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: about these progressives and conservatives who are white, the power
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: of white supremacy is so strong that it's it's it's
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: some nice white folks we know who say stuff and
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: they're like, oh, I don't know how, yes you do,
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: because white supremacist also impacts you. It is, it is
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: a viewpoint. It is a state of state of consciousness,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: and that's what we're dealing with. And so we have
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: to we have to be willing to challenge them and
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: say what you're gonna do? See stop, We've always had
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: to save America, not white folks. Y'all gotta do some work.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: That's why I said, y'all have got to put some
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: work in. You've got the challenge of one another to do. Right.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: Can you tie that into affirmative action, which you also
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: discuss in White Fair Well, First of all, I'm gonna
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: call affirmtive action what it is the greatest economic engine
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: for white women, for white people. No group has benefited
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: more from affirmative action than white women, and so that's
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: also tied to it. White men figured that thing out right. MWBS.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: When you get your certification to get these contracts with
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: this no, no, you said MWBE, it should be w
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: MBE because if you look at any MWMW program, the
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: group that gets more money as women. I was at
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: the Black Caucus in Illinois had this thing up. It
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: was Dan Bryan contract. They invited black black media and
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: the Black Caucus. So we're sitting in the guys talking
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: about women. Got this black scot did Latino. I said, question,
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: if you black women, which one of them categories you in?
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: He said, well you're in black. I said, well you Latino?
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: He said Latino hispan. I said, so that ducks should
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: be w W. I said, because all the women going
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: to other categories, that's white women. And so I spoke
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: to the airport minority contractors and concessions folks in Dallas,
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: and I say white women. Last, I said, when I said,
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: when from actually on the attack? Where the hell y'all at?
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: So y'all quiet? How y'all getting more contracts than any
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: of us? How are you quiet? Say again, somebody has
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: to be willing to challenge them. And he had white
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: women who like, oh my god, I didn't realize that.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: I'm boy, how y'all didn't realize y'all are getting more?
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: And so that's what we're dealing with. Lasting we have
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: got we can't be afraid to say black. I'm in
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: a meeting. It was a charter school meeting at a
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: national charter lines. They had the national conference. Thirty people
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: in the room. It's probably about twenty bean dollars in
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: the room. It's two black people in Latino. And so
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: we're sitting there talking and Latino guy goes, you know,
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: I keep hearing you talk about black I believe in inclusion.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: What about Latinos? And my initial was called school choices?
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: The Black choice. I say, hey, Dot, you more than
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: welcome to start school choice? Is the Latino choice rolling
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: here for black people? And I said to the room,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: y'all can't do nothing with the Black caucus. Y'all can't
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: even get a meeting with the Black Caucus. I got
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: nine alphas in Congress. I can call a frat meeting.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: And they're sitting around. They were like, damn like I
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: came in guns blazing them. Mary Landry and former United
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: States Center she raised the hand and she's like, um,
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: as a forming you is sitting he right, we can't
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: do this other black caucus, I was. I walked into
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: the room starting with black. I don't say, how can
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: we helping already businesses? I say, I'm here for black people.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: Now does it mean you can't have an MWB program?
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: But I am willing to advocate for us first. And
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: so when we talk about a black owned media spin,
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: we tell everybody, don't send your chief Diversity officer. We're saying,
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: this is black owned media. You created category for black
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: owned media. You want to create one for Latinos and
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: for women and the LGBT. That's your business, but we're
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: gonna advocate this way. Ohn. Correct me if I'm wrong,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: cause I thought I saw you pushing back against that. Uh.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: I thought on social media when they're asking about how
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: come there's not a black hate crime bill, like a
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: specific bill for yes, yes, because first, well, first of all,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: that's a lie. Okay, you've actually had three Okay, the
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: first one was the first one was in the sixties,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: and then you also have the James Bird. But the
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: because the point is when you talk about a law,
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: a how's the law applied? So, for instance, we celebrated
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: Title nine this year fifty anniversary where tip nine come
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: from vigion nineteen sixty four Civil Rights Act. Who far
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: for that? Black people voting? We know the ninety six
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: five Voting Rights Act was about black voting power. But
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: if you are Korean and the bows in your native language,
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: how is that so sixty five Voting Rights Act? And
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: so there's a difference between advocating for black owned media
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: with a company and then talking about a particular law.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: The reality is how laws are applied, applied to all people.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: So I guess. So when they do the anti Asian
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: or the Asian hate bill, dot say right, dot right there,
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: what you just said didn't exist. What's the bill called.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: It's called the COVID nineteen Hate Crime Act. Oh, I
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: thought it was. No, it's not. No, it's not. No,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: it's not twee things. No, it's not. When when President
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: Biden tweets out, pull it up. Let me see, I
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: pull it up, right, pull it up. Here's what happened
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: because of the increase in attacks against against Asians. That
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: was the impetus for the particular bill. So that in
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: the narrative in the beginning of the bill, it talks
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: about what took place. Now let me show you something.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: Hold up, Hold up, hold up, now, pull up. I
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: want you to pull up something. I want to say.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: You're you're right. It is called the COVID nineteen Hate
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Crime Zact. But look when NBC News, yes, when Vox
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: all these people posted, they call it, yes, the anti
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: Asian Hate Crime Bill passes anti Asian hate And they
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: were wrong because they didn't read the damn bill okay,
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: because in in the narrative, they explain why the bill
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: was being done. Now, look up, look up Hate Crimes
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: Act and Black Churches. What you will discover Congress passed
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: a bill that specifically targeted the attacks on the burning
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: of black churches. In the narrative, it explains why they're
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: passing the bill because of the burning of black churches.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Does get that bill apply only to the burning of
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: black churches. No, it applied to all religious institutions. So
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: whether you're talking about mosque, what are you're talking about synagogues,
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. See and again this is where media
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: absolutely should but also learn how to read. And that's
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: part of the deal. And so they run for the
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: bumper stick aversion and then look just like Newsweek wrot
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: that article. Oh, Biden, cut HBC, you funded about thirty
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: five billion, an absolute lie. Negroes reposted that. And here's
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: what pisses me off. All these black folks reposted the
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: Newsweek article. Yet when we were doing their actual story
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: on Rolling Martin, unfiltered, Negroes weren't reposting that. So again,
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: going back, we see something in white media and go, oh,
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: there it is got to be true. Versus going hold up.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: See that's what I do. I saw as through that
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: I went cut thirty five billion. Can you explain to me,
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: I'm reading this story, y'all cut thirty five No, you
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: didn't cut third Okay, send me the data so I
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: can understand that. So what did I do? I called
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: Corson Boby Scott. Why Cornson, Bobby Scott Virginia because he
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: sits on the subcommittee when it comes to the funding.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: I called Cornston, Jim Clyburn. I hit all these black
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: these black these so called black media folk who ran
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: with that damned story, who didn't bother to actually call
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: a black member of Congress to verify the story? They
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: saw it in white media. It was wrong. That happens
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: all the time. So then what happens Black folks were
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: circulating that thing. See see Biden folks, they screwed up.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: They cut thirty five active, and I'm like, it wasn't
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: even true. You got all riled up because something that
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: white media published that was fundamentally flawed NBC media. Democratic
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: Party fuels off that because they'll put out things that
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: We passed the LGBTQ Hate Crime Bill, and we passed
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: the anti Asian Hate Crime Bill. So these are are
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: elected officials who people trust. And when I'm see your point,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: everybody may not read deeper than that tweet and what
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: I'm saying it, which is also why I'm sending the
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: black people who you're gonna listen to, who you're gonna watch,
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: who you're gonna read. That's why I challenge black media
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: to actually do the work and pick the phone up
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: and don't just rewrite something you saw in the New
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: York Post or the Washington Post on the New York Times.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: It happens way too often. That's when I look folks
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: at at Shade Room and the Grio and the Route
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: and Black Enterprise. They've all gotten mad it because I've
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: called them out on some bs. I'm sorry. I operate
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: by facts. We have this question to that point, if
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: they do pass these bills, which is true, why they
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: don't ever say this is a bill for black people?
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: Then what they mean? Why they don't ever say it
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: like they say they'll they're quick to say this is
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: an LGBTQ crime. Go back, go back and look at
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: the coverage when they passed when they passed the bill
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: that with black churches, that's the case. It was, it was,
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: it was it was in uh late in his early nineties.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: See so again, when people say we've never had one,
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: not true. See again, folks love to throw it out
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: and and and and that. I don't think they're quick
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: to stand by blackness the way they all everything else. Well,
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: but here's the deal, though, it's happened. If you go
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: look at the cover of a six Rights Act and
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: the Photo Rights Act, that's all you saw. But this
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: was a different time though. Okay, I'm sorry that was
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: a different time. No no no, no, no, no, no, no no.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: If somebody says we've never had what does that mean? True? No,
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: what does it mean? It's never happened. So when you
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: actually provide the fact, well it did happen, the response
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: can't be without a long time ago. Well, I mean,
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just trying to see both sidcers. You
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: can see both side out there, because you can see
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: how people will be offended for show me a both
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: side of it's never happened. True. But for example, somebody
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: like the Vice President, they ask her a simple question,
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: because racism exists in America, she can't answer that. But
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: if you ask her about it, any other. Uh community,
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: that's experience and hate. Quick to jump on that. Here's
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: my car. Okay, now go deeper than us own hot dog.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: Why because she's afraid to turn off white voters. What
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: did I say about the last election? M m okay,
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: what would the total voter turnout? It was seventy one
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: or seventy three percent. So it's it's all politics, it's identity.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: Some people will say that the average person say that
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: bullshit bulls. Yeah, I would also say it was bullshit
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: to there was black person. When you have your three
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: largest locations in Louisiana and the highs to thirty six
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: percent black turnout, here's a whole deal, black people. If
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: you're maximizing your voter turnout, if you're not voting at
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: forty five percent of your capacity, if you're voting at
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: seventy five five percent, then guess what. Your vote now
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: actually has more power Now the number actually goes down,
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: and so it all goes together. I understand folks who
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: say I want to hear black I want to hear
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: specifically talk about that. I want to hear something that's
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: specifically black people. But again, like perfect example, Treasure department. Uh,
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: she Freedman celebration. She's vice president. Hairs is laying out
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: talking about fifteen billion dollars is being spent on community
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: development of banks. Things on those lines, who what what what? What? What?
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: A community developing bank banks largely in black neighborhoods. Now,
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: people say, but I want to hear specifics. You do
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: your specifics. It's even in there as well. Oh but
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: I only want to hear black. You can't only hear
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: black because you can't. So you're not mad at that
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: because you so eat it playing the game. No, no, no,
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: here's o'deal when you say LGBT, is it only me
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: white people who came? Who's that a mean? That's like
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: affirmative action. No no no, no no no no no no
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: no no. Majority that stuffs white people more than black
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: everything in America. My god, did not just say I
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: get you a no no. We started and I'm like, well,
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: what's the point, But we started it off. Everything a
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: majority benefits white people. Why because they're in the majority.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: Show me anything that's not going to largely benefited white
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: people when numerically they have the numbers, and so why
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: aren't they afraid two three? Because they're losing the numbers.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: I still don't see how we win them. We win
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: when we first, We win voting wise, when we vote,
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: you see the phrase punch above your weight. We can't
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: vote the way they vote. We have to be voting easy.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: Andrew gillim is Governor of Florida. If Broward County goes
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: from fifty seven total turnout to sixty five, Miami Dade
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: goes from fifty four to sixty five, how are the
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: red counties voting seventy seventy five percent? You can't win
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: in the fifties. Black people have to maximize numbers. This
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: is simple. Five hundred thousand eligible black people, three hundred
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: thousand of the five hundred thousand are registered, one hundred
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: and fifty thousand of the three hundred thousand who are registered,
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: and one hundred and fifty thousand five hundred thousand who
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: are eligible actually vote. That means one hundred and fifty
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: thousand Black people voted. Three hundred and fifty thousand black
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: people didn't vote. Your candidate loses by ten thousand votes. Well,
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: then we have to equip vote suppression into that too.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: You can equate that, but hell, you had poll taxes.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: Look We've always had to jump over hurdles. The point
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: I'm making is we have to say, y'all throw up,
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: throw up any hurdle, which also be in our story.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: We're gonna jump over that damn hurdle. We've done that.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: But I'm showing you real numbers. Charity Beasley's running for
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: North Carolina now to stay Senate right now, Okay, she
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: should be the chief Justice of the Supreme Court North Carolina,
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: she asked by four hundred votes. Four undred votes. I'm
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: what I'm laying out is, how do you maximize your power?
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: You can't holler we want this, this, this. If you're
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: not maximizing your power, how do you have sixty seven
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: percent of black people living in Ferguson, Missouri and it
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: wasn't until Michael Brown's death that they were able to
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: get a black mayor sixty seven percent. How that's not
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: maximizing your numbers. So what I'm saying it changes when
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: we then recognize and walk in our power. I think
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: sometimes that's an insult to the people who actually do
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: go out there vote because every election the scenes, we
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: always go out there and voting record number no, no, no, no.
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: In presidential election. No, no no, no, But the fine record numbers,
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know. A record number means it's more voted
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: this time than last time. That's all you can ask. No,
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: I don't look at did more vote? I look at
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: what's the percentage of eligibility? If if four of us
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: sitting right here, none of us voted last year, envy
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: votes next year. Oh my goodness, that was record numbers.
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: Three of us didn't vote. What happens if it's none
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: of us voted last year, all four of us voted
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: this year, it's a higher record and it's a higher
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: vote participation. I'm saying our vote can actually change outcomes
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: you've had. Wh we get credit for ruling? No, no, no,
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: we get we get credit because we have. We have
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: withstood everything they have thrown at us, and we're still standing.
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: How do you get people to vote? That's my question absolutely,
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: because I do feel like we talk about it all
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: the time. Get out there and vote, Make sure your
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: registers to vote. This is where you get the information.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: And it's still not enough people, because that's approaching it
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: without any information. First, we have to walk volk through.
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: We gotta go back to freedom schools, which took place
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: in the period after after the Civil War, which took
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: place during Jim Crowe. Because it's a lot of folks
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: really have no clue. I use my show as like
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: Schoolhouse Rock two point er, walking people through talking about
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: the anti Asian Bill. I literally showed the bill, y'all,
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: this is the bill that ain't the name. Here's the
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: whole deal. When they were like, oh, that first same thing,
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: all these fools. I got my information from Trump. Don't
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: give us five hundred billions in contracts. You know, the
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: entire federal government only spends five hundred and sixty billion,
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: So how he gonna give us five hundred billion or
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: the five hundred and sixty billion. See again, it's folk
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: falling for the height. So we've got to be able
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: to have our outlets that of walking us through, but
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: it's walking me through the issues. When people come to
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: me and say I had a sister, it's twenty sixteen,
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: she's like, I don't like Hillary, I can't stand Trump's
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna focus on my state. I say, where
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: you're from, sitting northline, I said, name me your top
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: three issues. She named the top three issues, and all
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: three of her issues were tied directly back to who
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: was hitting the White House. She was like, oh, now,
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: mind you, she was an activist. This was an informed,
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: so call informed voter. So I had to walk her
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: through that. We have to spend more time walking people
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: through and ask them what do you care about? When
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: people stop me on the street, on the plane, they say, man,
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: you know I want to do something, or or this
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: ain't working. I say, okay, what's your top issue? Then
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: I go what do you mean? I said, what's the
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: top thing you care about? And then when they do,
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: I then begin to walk them through, Okay, well this
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: has happening, This is happening. That's how we have to
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: do it. We literally don't have enough voter education. Once,
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: if I inform you now you're like, well damn not
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: where what's going on? Now? I can move to getting
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: your registered. And then when I get you registered, I
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: still I get you to the polls. Yeah, I got
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: a transportation plan. Okay, So it's just now, this, this
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: is this is probably the most important piece. Once the
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: election is over, Now, what do we do? A lot
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: of us go all right, we're good. No no no
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: no no no no no no no. That's the end
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: of one process the beginning of another. See, you can't
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: have all the people hollow tangibles tangibles. How many of
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: y'allre showing up when elections is over? So who's going
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: to schoolboard meeting? Kind of commissions meeting, state legislature, congress?
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: How are you advocating? What groups here doing? So you
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: say you want tangibles, and if I don't get tangibles,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna vote. Okay, you don't actually get tangibles
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: before the election. You get promises. You then have to
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: then force them to adhere to the promise they made
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: during the campaign. Well, how do you do that? You
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: have to show up. You've got to be willing to,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: like black voters matter, locking yourselves to the White House
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: gate to get their attention. If they are not listening,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: and then you can't say no, you know, we know
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: we shouldn't protest Biden. Harriss. No, if you ain't doing right, then,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: if you're not advocating for me, then I gotta use
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: whatever I have to let you know I'm not playing
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: LGBT people. Twenty ten, Obomba was moving on, don't ask,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: don't tell. They were like, all right, close them checkbooks.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: They lost that mere terms. What happened in December they
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: passed that damn bill. Say again, leverage. Our leverage is
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: not necessarily resources, but it is when it comes to voting.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: But we have to be willing. And then people say, well,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: ce rolling, that's what I'm saying. You saying, don't vote,
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: no fool, I'm saying, don't vote for the person who's
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: not now following in your interests. Run somebody against them
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: in the primary and then replace them. That's what I'm saying.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: And get and then if your person loses in the primary,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: then you gotta do. Let the Republicans do. They sit
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: here and say, I'm gonna still vote for this person
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: because about power. But it's like I'm gonna put that
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: heat on your ass and you're gonna feel it every
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: single day. Which is why I for years I've challenged
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: my fratern to Alpha Fi Alpha and All D nine
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: and Prince Hall Mason's and Eastern Star in the links,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: how we have all of this black organizational power and
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: we're not sitting here walking in if two hundred black
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: women in pink and green just all of a sudden
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: show up at the school board meeting. This is gonna happen.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: They're gonna be like who in the hill or these
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: two hundred black women, And then the next month they
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: see black and gold, then purple and gold, then red
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: and white, and all of a sudden they keep saying it.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: Now it's gonna be well, what do we need to
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: do so they can stop showing up. That's leveraging your power.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: We have untapped power when it comes to voting, and
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: guess what when you show up there when it comes
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: to I'm not to the school board meeting, i ain't
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: talking about this curriculum. I'm talking about contracts. I'm talking
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: about bond election. I'm talking about black businesses. Now becomes economic.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: But we're gonna leverage the power. But we have to
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: educate people on this is the issue, this is the truth,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: This is the whole deal. And when they have the
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: information now it's kind of like, oh I was told this,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: We'll stop listening to the food. Who told you live?
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: I got a couple of questions. I know you gotta go,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: but I agree with everything you just said. But don't
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: you think the other part of that is sometimes these
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: candidates have to stop volunteering lies, meaning they talk about
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: things that they know they cannot get done. They don't
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: tell the whole story as politics. Yeah, but but remember potential.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: Remember politics is about making promises. But what did President FRANKL.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: Delon Roosevelt till a Philip Randolph when Randolph was pressing him?
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: He said, Philip, everything you said is correct. Now God
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: make me do. And what did he do when he
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: threatened that march on Washington? He sat in an executive order.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: Our history? When when? When? When? When? When? He said? Look,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: he said, Martin, I can't remember the original civil rights
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: bill had all three of those beagles in the one bill.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: He said, well, we're gonna have to get He said, well,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: I don't have a power that We're gonna have to
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: go out and give you some power using that too
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: many of us are just laying back. I don't know
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: right now. Tennessee has stated they have grossly underfunded Tennessee
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: State to the tune of five hundred million. I've asked
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: the question I had Reverend Jeff Carr on my show.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: I said, who is mobilizing in Tennessee and what national
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: civil rights leaders are mobilizing to say we're gonna go
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: into Tennessee on this day, and we're going to mobilize
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: to move them to get that five hundred million dollars
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: Tennessee state. Okay, it was a thirteen year lawsuit to
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: get the five hundred and seventy seven million settlement for Maryland.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: Alvin Chandlers did the settlement down in Mississippi. You've had
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: other See again we talk about man fund out with HBCUs. Okay,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: how are you going to make them do it? And
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: so that's what we also have to do. We got
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: to move our people to action. And unfortunately too many
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: or not. But that's why I challenged our organizations. I
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: just did it at the CBC. I called out all
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: the frats and the sororities and challenged them and I said,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: stop being so focus on your internal business and be
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: focused on the business of Black America. Doctor King said
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: this here and where do we go from here? Chaosol community.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: If you don't have that book, you should get. That
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: book is one of the top three books. I got
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: more than thousand in my home. It is top three.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: You would think he wrote that book last year. He
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: said there are four institutions that are primed to liberate
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: black America, the Negro Church, the Negro press, Negro fraternities
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: and sororities, and Negro professional and business organizations. He said,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: all of them had never fully committed themselves to the
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: liberation of black people. What he's talking about is taking
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: organized power and leveraging it. So you talk about New
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: York Times bestseller lists, imagine if all of the DNA,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: how many copeents you take to the New York Time
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: bestseller lists? But twenty five thousand, No, not that much
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: depends on the week five thousand. So imagine if all
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: of the Divine nine Prince Hallmason's Eastern start in the
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: links said by a wife field this, go buy wife Feel,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: or next week go by Angel's book, next week by
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: your book, by VI's book, by Jamale Hill's book. Now
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: of a set, you don't even need to be going
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: around to a ton of the book tours. We could
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: literally place multiple books. That's organizing your power. That's why
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: when people came in a minute like man, I don't
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: know you, you you ain't gonna really ain't gonna do well
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: launching roller Martin unfilter, I said, don't worry about it.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: So here we are four years later, I launched last
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: year Blackstar Network OTT. I'm launching a twenty four hours
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: streaming channel next month that I took my social media
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: following organized it built one show, built a network, Now
• 1:06:44

• 1:06:47

• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: That's organizing, immobilized? You know it's interested about that? Like
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: you built that network so much that when I see
• 1:06:56

  Speaker 1: So I've done Alec Belshi. I don't know. MSNBC seems
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: only called me on the weekends. I don't know what's
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: up with that. Well, I know I've been shadow banned
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: on a weekday and I told him that too, and
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: so I ain't got a problem. And I know who
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: did it too. Uh, and know exactly who did it.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: Damn exactly who did it. I've called his name out.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: You know what the hell? You know exactly Jonathan Walton
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: know what he did to me. I was was supposed
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: to be on r Melbourne Show and that was ten
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: minutes out. I'm at the top of the show. I'm
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: talking about it. I'm in Austin. I'm at the top
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: of the show discussed Doug Jones. I get a call. Uh,
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: my head was canceled. Wow. I sent an email and
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: I said, all right, what executved piss off? They're like,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: oh no, no, that's not what happened on my days
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: would happen? And then I found out it was him
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: because he was pissed at me and Jake Tapper went
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: out of the day before on Twitter, and I'm like, dude,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: he is CNN. You used to work at CNN. Why
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: are you tripping to MSNBC. Because during twenty fifteen, year
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: after the election, Oh, all the shows were calling me,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: Katie turb blowing me up, Hallie Jackson, they were like,
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: oh my god, Katie's they wanted me on every Thursday,
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: Stephanie Rule, all the weekday shows were calling me, and
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, Wow, everything is shut down,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, I said it, and he knew
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: exactly what he did. Now, I've told other executives there
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: what the whole deal was the only time I told Rachida.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: So the only time I look, I ain't gonna problem
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: it looked. The only time I get called now is
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: Tiffany's show, Ali's show, Alice Witt. No day time shows none,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: no daytime shows, no prime time shows, none, even when
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: I've had exclusives. So it is what it is. And
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: we know Fox News not gonna call because you know
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: they can't handle this much blackness. It's my final question.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: If you talk about white fear a lot, and we
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: know fear, is that the rule that every injustice? As
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: Reverend Barber says, but don't you think and then you've
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: been touching on it a little bit, but don't you
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: think black people have a fear of demanding things from democrats? Oh?
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: I think that. I here's why some black people. But
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: remember when you make a demand, it also requires accountability. See.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: I can demand something of Angela, you and Envy one time,
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: but I got to follow up now after I say
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: I need you to do this within what if you
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: don't now what I do? A lot of people want
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: to yell Holly screen, but they don't want to follow up.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: When When? When? When the Republicans were blocking Lerida Lynch,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: black women were Capital Hill every week? I was like, Yo,
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: what are brothers? What are brothers? I hate all these
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: black males grow where y'all at? How this black woman
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: is getting screwed and the sisters are coming every week?
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: Meet Jamal Bryant and Jeff John's black What the hell?
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: We organized? Two hundred black men were like literally like, yo,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: meet us in front of the fountain across from the
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: Capital and we're gonna go to Capital Hill. Two hundred
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: brothers showed up and rolled with us as accountability. We
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: didn't just say miss damn shame brothers. No, we said
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do it. That's the deal. Because he now
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: that requires organization, mobilization, planning, it requires work. And then
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: people go, well, I shouldn't have to do all that.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: I voted. Your opposition don't just vote. They mobilize, they organize,
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: they raise money. And so we did. And so again,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: if we want to see change in our cities, in
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: our states, in this country, it is going to require
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: people to be accountable and do something. My mom and
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: daddy were part of a civic club in Clinton Park
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: in Houston, Texas. So people that understand I think this
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: way because I saw two people who never went to
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: college get with a few neighbors and they say, we
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: want to do this and this and this. We want
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: some new streets as new sidewalks and new some lights,
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: and take these crack houses down and take these abandoned
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: lots down. They organize people like man that ain't gonna work,
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: y'all gonna fail. That's also biblical. Go read Nea might
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: have the two three and four he saw to reap
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: the wall Jerusalem had crumble. He said, we need to
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: rebuild the wall. But go read the scripture. It says
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: the people said, let us rebuild. Our problem is we
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: have black generals. We ain't got enough black troops. We've
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: got people like Tamika, Untell, Freedom and Linda. We've got
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: a folk over here with different Black Lives Matter chapters.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: You've got other order people out there who are doing
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: the work. They need folks to stand with them and
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: show up as opposed to Well, they got it. No,
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: this is how you rebuild. This is how you actually fight.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: But that's the accountability part. A lot of folks man
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: just want to sit back and want somebody else to
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: do over THEMN work. That's what they want. And I'm
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: saying it can't happen when I'm out here fighting for
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: black on media, I'm saying everybody can eat. I'm not.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: Disney can't get all three twenty two billions now they can't.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: I can't get all the black own money. So if
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: somebody asked me, they say, rolling, if you could get
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: five hundred million, or you and not others could get
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: fifty million each between you take I said, oh ten
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: of us getting fifty They're like, what said, here's why?
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: Because he now, if we all go out, I ain't
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: gonna pay because we all get to and if ten
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: of us got fifty million, that means ten families, ten
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: multiplena raise sins now have it versus one person having
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: the wealth. That's the collector that King talked about on
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: April third, nineteen sixty eight. He said, Black people individually
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: are poor, but collectively we are one of the richest
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: nations in the world. If black people practice collective work,
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: he said, we can change. But it's the work part.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: That's why they're scared, because it's accountability for a white fair.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: Pick it up right now, Roland Martin, we appreciate you.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: That's called bringing the funk. That's what he called doc.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: This is what I this is what I do and
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: look and for the folks who I hid it, don't
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: get mad because you messed up it.
