  Speaker 1: What's up. Family, It's your girl to Mika d. Mallory
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: and your boy my son.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: In general, we are.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Your hosts of street politicians, the place with the streets
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: and politics. Me's going on my song Lenin.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Today's a slow day. Trying to speed up, but I'm here.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: It's slow day for me. Let me tell you something.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: The other day I had a colonic, which is not
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: a colonoscopy. Colonoscopy is when they go inside and look
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: to see if they are polyps and cancer or so
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: sitting anywhere. But a colonoscopy is when they go inside
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and it's basically like a a more advanced enema where
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: they are cleaning your system out. And the one thing
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I could say is that, first of all, it definitely
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: makes you feel lighter, like you know, you feel better.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: And the second thing is that I do not feel
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: as tired the last two days since I had it,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I am much like feeling much better. I'm not as
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: sluggish as I had been. I sat yesterday. See, you know,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: no more braids. I'm back in my my tresses, back
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: in my inches, got my weaves back, and it takes
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: time to start from scratch from braids for six months.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I did braids for six months and now I'm back
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to my hair, and that takes time to transition, taking
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the braids out, doing the whole thing. I got up
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: at six thirty in the morning, I worked out, I
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: took my hair out, I worked out, I cleaned up
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: my house, I left the house, I went, I got
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: my hair done. I spent the full day in the salon,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: from twelve to after seven. I never said I was
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: tired one time. Never, and not to say that I
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: don't want certain junk food. But I don't have the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: same craving. So yes, it is uncomfortable people, it's uncle. Absolutely,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: it's uncomfort, is extremely uncomfortable. But what I will say
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: is that it's worth it, and I do. They put
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: a tube inside of you and then they flush you
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: with water, and this particular place also uses coffee because
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: if you think about it, when you drink coffee, it
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: makes you want to use the bathroom most times, so
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: that is a part of their treatment. They flush you
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: with water, and they also at the end, the last
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: part is they pump you with coffee and they keep
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: on flushing you out and in some places they just
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: sit you, you know, shout out to our sister Kepra,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: because she between Kepra and our other sister who send
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the cross, they were the folks who suggested it for me.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: And you know, in some places you just sit by yourself.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: You know, they'll come over and ask you if you okay,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and you just sit. But in this particular place, Linda
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Sarcer and I went together. In this particular place, they
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: rub your stomach and they helped to like really move
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: around anything that's inside of you, sitting in your in
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: testing this and that, and they move it and your
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: colon basically to get it cleared out and so in it.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: And they keep filling you up and filling you up
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: until whatever's coming out is clear. So that it's very intrusive,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: it's very uncomfortable, but I believe it's very necessary. Like
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I see, I am telling you, there are results my stomach.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I actually lost two pounds. In fact, I kind of look,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I think I lost three pounds. But then the last
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: time I weighed myself, which they tell you not to do,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: was right after I ate something, so that's never you're
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: not supposed to do that. But today I didn't really eat,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and I'm bad. I'm down three pounds, so it's I
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: feel it. I feel something lighter and everything. So anyway,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the point I'm making here is take care of your body.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Like for people who are listening, take care of your body.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Make sure that you are doing things like not just
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the colonic but other things like a colonoscopy, like the
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: breast exams, all of that stuff. Take care of your
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: body because I can tell the difference since I have
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: started to really take care of myself a little bit more.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: And the last thing I'll say is I still want
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the junk and the still the all the things, but
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I don't have the same craving like I don't. I
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: don't feel like I need to eat as much as
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I felt. I think that stuff that sits in your
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: system kind of just kind of tells your mind feed
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: me more, feed me more, feed me more. So clean
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: out and just do something different. That's all I can say.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: That's good. I went.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: I just got you know, I do my annual and
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: I've been really a lot intentional about working out lately.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: So like the last week, I just been working on
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: every day. So I find, like what you said, I
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: found myself. Once you get into good habits, especially like physically,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: and you know, start eating, and I've been eating a
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: lot of vegetables. I don't I'm one of them people
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: that don't have any problem going to the bathroom after
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I eat every meal. My body is like, okay, go
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: to the bathroom. So, you know, but I might look
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: into this.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I don't really want I don't have a problem going
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to the bathroom either.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: I never have a problem that a lot of people
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: do a lot.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of people that you know, they don't
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: they don't use the bathroom a lot. You know what
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: I'm saying, They constipated or they you know, I feel
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: like I use the bathroom a lot, you know, but
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: I might look at I don't really want nothing to
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: side on my butt though.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: You know, here's the thing intrusive you just said.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: It's very intrusive to.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Be clear me either, you know, like that is not
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: my area of comfort and joy. So I'm not one
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: of those people that I don't want that either. But
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I will say I know for a fact that if
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: all that waste is coming out of you, it can't
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: be good for it to sit inside of your system
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: from time to time to time. And even though we're
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: using the bathroom. We're just getting the surface out. We're
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: not really like cleaning out the whole colon. And so
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, I'm sure this is not
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: colon awareness, mom, but it should be health awareness every day.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: And I'm just you know, sharing a very intimate thing
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that I did and just telling folks that you know,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: it's it. We get we you know, all of us,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: not all of us, but many of us have been
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: under the knife for this or that, different things, different surgeries,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: different you're trying to enhance yourself. You might be taking
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: some kind of pills, you working out, you're doing all
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: of that, and you should. And some people, a lot
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: of people are trying to eat better. You see it.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: You see obviously all of these different vegan spots popping
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: up and people drinking more smoothie. So people are becoming
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: more conscious. And I'm just offering that another part of
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: that is to clean your colon and get your system
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: cleared out as much as you can.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: So a lot of people that's full of shit, You're
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: gonna get cleaned out.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: And we should make sure sure that we laugh our
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: way to go take care of ourselves. That's it happened.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: It is very uncomfortable though I'm not gonna lie. It
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: ain't something you're gonna want to do.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: What you're not gonna want to go back? You know what?
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: You feel that way while it's happening, but you realize, wow,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: all of this stuff is sitting inside of me. I
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: need to go back. And people have different schedules. Some
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: people go often, other people don't go that often. They
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: might do twice a year, maybe even once a year.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: But I'm I'm going to be not regular, probably like
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: semi regular, but I'm definitely gonna get it done every quarter,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely. I mean, well, well, actually in the beginning
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: they tell you the first three times you need to
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: make them close together. So I have to go with
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: three week intervals, which is horrible because I don't want
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: to do it. But then after the three week intervals,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: then some people do it a week, two weeks or whatever.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: But I chose three week intervals. That well, you have
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: to ask Linda because I don't want to be telling
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: her business and you.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Know, I'm just going to do what is it painful? Did?
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: She says? She?
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Well, she went before me, so when she went in
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: the room same day before me and took care of hers.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: So when she came out, her thing to me was,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: it's very uncomfortable because at first she was texting me
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: from the table, like telling me different things. Because they
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: we did a lymphatic massage as well, which means that
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: they rubbed the top of your skin and kind of
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: push all the stuff into your lymphos, which they help
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: you get out. You have to go to the bathroom.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: You urinate the whole thing. By the way, when doing
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the kolonic, they also have pressure points in your skin.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: It's places in your arm and your hands that as
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: they were pushing it. This may be t and I,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: but you know, we are an educational place platform where
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: we learn together and educate. As they were like pushing
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: and touching certain points on my arms and my hands,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: you could hear more drainage. So they know exactly where
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the points are within your body that when they touch
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: them it stimulates you to actually move out the waste
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: and be clear it is waste. So she was first
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: texting me and then all of a sudden, I'm telling
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: her stuff and she's not texting back. And I thought
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: maybe because I was texting about work that she stopped,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't that it's that after a while it
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: becomes uncomfortable and you got to focus on getting through,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: you know. So I'm not gonna say it's painful, but
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: it's uncomfortable. So speaking of being light and painful and
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: all of those things, our campaign in Kentucky, including our
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: office opening, happened this week. We are, you know, in
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the middle of a fight. And as you know, Daniel
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Caeron is someone who has raised a significant amount of
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: money from people who support his rhetoric, which includes things
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: like giving the death penalty to drug dealers. It includes
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: things like getting rid of the Civilian Complaint Review Board
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: so that people have no recourse to fight when there
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: are issues of injustice that have been committed by a
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: police officer. He wants to give cops more discretion and
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: more power to do surveillance. I mean, he is a
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: police guy. And now that we have really launched the
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: next seven weeks about seven weeks of our efforts to
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: fight him, we just want to make sure that the
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: people of Kentucky are armed and prepared to go to
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: the polls even if they make a decision that we
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: don't agree with. We want them to go to the
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: polls and when I say that some of the work
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: that we have participated in his nonpartisan getting out there,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: registering voters, trying to make sure we get people to
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the polls. That is done in a nonpartisan fashion, which
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: ultimately means that we are getting people registered and not
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: telling them anything about who they need to vote for.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: But we also have many other things going on where
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: people are really clear about what we stand for. So
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: we believe in people being registered to vote and having
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: that power in their hands regardless. But in addition to that,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: we want people to know that until freedom is unapologetically
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: against Daniel Cameron, are we the biggest governor basher folks? No,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I can't say that, because there are issues even with
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Bashir that the local community can talk about. We should
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: actually have some of the local leaders to come on
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: this show. But I will say we restored the voting
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: rights of one hundred and seventy thousand, one hundred and
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: seventy thousand people who had felony convictions or other convictions
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: that prevented them from voting in the state of Kentucky.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: And so that's just you know, people will say, well,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: that's one thing, shirt Certainly there's much more to debate.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Some issues we agree with them on some we don't.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: But those hundred and seventy thousand people that have access
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: to go to the ballot box to fight for their
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: rights and to stand up for what they believe in,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I think that is very, really important, and it truly
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: is an important space for us because we want to
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: make sure that those individuals know that the same behavior
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: that got you locked up, you know, whether it be
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: that someone didn't consider your story and your life and
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: provide you with the resources you need, that that same
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: behavior is what Daniel Cameron intends to inflict upon Kentucky Dame.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Daniel Cameron is a piece of shit. You know,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: he's He's just not a good guy, you know what
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: I'm saying. When when you when you look at just
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: based off what you said some of the things, but
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: just what he did to Breonna Taylor and her family,
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: to me, was it just it was it was the
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: icing on the cake. It just shows that you're not
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: a good moral character. You know, you intentionally deprived those
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: people with justice, You lie to those people, you and
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: you intentionally inflicted more harm to a mother who had
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: lost her child at the hands of the police.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: You know, so I don't.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: I just the unmitigated golf for you to think that
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: you should be the governor of you know, Kentucky. It's
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: just crazy to me. You know, miss McConnell. Who's his guy.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: He's not even in the right mental state. He can't
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So he's he's co signing him.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: He's being co signed by a lot of people that
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: I don't even know how they eat and got into office.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: But we're dealing with a lot of shit, man, were
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: dealing with a lot of shit and old skin folks
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: and kim folk.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: A lot of time you look and I'm one of
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: those people who will definitely want to see you know,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: brothers and sisters, you know, elevating in government. But this
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: guy right here, he's just not a good guy. We're
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: gonna do whatever we have to do to me about that.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: This morning, Yes, I got cussed out.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm I'm gonna go organize, you know the
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: demographic that I know that I feel to listen to
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: my voice because Amiga told me that I ain't doing
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: shit and basically I need to get on my job.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: And I heard him a loud clear, so Yep, we
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: come to Kentucky. All of my bros. You know we're coming,
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: and we need I'm gonna need y'all help.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Y'all got guys, the guy for.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: The guys, Free the guys.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna need y'all man a lot of Like she said,
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: over one hundred and seventy thousand people got their voting
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: rights restored, and for a reason, you know, I'm being
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: a formally colstrated individual and understanding and.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Not taking that privileged lightly. You know.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: I try to make sure that I vote in the
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: re election. I find candidates and people who are more
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: aligned to what I want to see in my community
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: and government. You know, all the time, it's not the greatest,
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: it's not the best people, but I definitely find those
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: people are on issues and things that I think the
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: community needs, you know, And and that's how I make
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: a decision. I don't think for me at this point
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: in my life, not voting is not really an option,
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: you know, because whether or not I vote or not,
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: somebody's gonna run this country. Somebody's going to run our community.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Somebody's going to be in office. And if if I
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: don't take the time and do the research and do
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: my due diligence to find someone and something in each
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: candidate or something that I don't like. You know, sometimes
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: it's a candidate that has just like you know, why
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: the hell would we vote for somebody that says give
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: the death penalty to drug dealers when when you got
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: big farm out here selling all the drugs and they
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: making billions, but you're gonna you're gonna kill some little
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Joey on the corner that's selling some drugs because he
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: doesn't have any other way to make money, or doesn't
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: know that he has another way to make money.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: He doesn't know that's important.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: He doesn't know, you know, he hasn't been given opportunities
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: and feels like this is the quick way for him
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: to make some money. Why would I want to see
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: that man killed?
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: And to be clear, we're not saying that he's.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Right, you know, we're not saying he's right, but we
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: understand that there should be punishment if you get caught
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: doing a problem. Yeah, you know, but there's really a
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: drug dealer can be rehabilitated, you know what I'm saying.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: So us just the men thought of that someone who
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: didn't take a like who didn't physically take anyone's life
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: is being.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Killed.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: It's it just doesn't even make sense in the mind,
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: the mind that thinks that it is even worse.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: So no, Daniel came in for me.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: It's a no for many people because as we've been
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: out walking and talking to folks, they're like, oh the
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: registered people are like, oh, no, we intend to vote,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: don't No, They're like, oh, no, no, for sure. So
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I remember one time I met a well you remember
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Grandpa that used to be in the square. He used
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: to be arrested with us, and when he was out
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: there fighting every day, and I never forget he pulled
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: me over one day. Brought tears to my eyes. This
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: is a man who was older, who didn't even have
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: all of his dent, his teeth in his mouth, like
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: he was really somebody you could tell had a hard,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: hard time, a lot of things going on, coming from
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: a real stressful situation. But he was out there for
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Brionna every single day, and I never forget. We were
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: in March. One day he walked over to me and
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: he didn't want to talk, he didn't want everybody to
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: hear it, but he said to me, Hey, when do
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: we get to vote for Daniel Cameron. He said, because
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to vote in when Daniel Cameron runs.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: He said, I didn't know anything about him. I never
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I don't even know how, you know, he didn't even
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: know when the election was that the man got elected.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: He didn't know because people weren't involved. But I tell
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: you what I said this about to me, kapalma, to me, kapalma.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Brianna Taylor's mother was the other day and I said, Brianna,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: it's a tragic story. It's a huge tragedy. But she
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: definitely did a lot for her community. She did more
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: than people who are alive walking the streets every day.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: This woman brought people together. She bought national groups into Kentucky.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: And remember when she tweeted, Lord take me to a
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: place that I can't even imagine. She said, I'm gonna
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: be a star. I'm gonna be somebody. I'm gonna make
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: a way for my family. And this is this was
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: in her own tweets. She was talking about her future.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: And even though she's not here to be a part
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: of it, she has set the stage and put a
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: burning fire under all of us and brought people together,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: made us friends with LANDA just brought our relationships closer
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: and got the people of Kentucky who are unaware of
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: their political state. They didn't know what was going on.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: And now those people are actual leaders, some of them working.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Look at too, K two k is working on anti violence.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: He used to be a trouble kid who was in
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Indiana getting in and out of trouble, going in and
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: out of jail. And now he is a leader on
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: the ground in Kentucky. And that's what we're talking about.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Kata is now an elected office. She was working for
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: the ACLU, but now she's an actual elected official.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, come on, listen, man, God will do it, Man,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: God will do it.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I gotta die. I want to die like that.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: You know, unfortunately when we all unfortunately, we're all going
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: to leave this earth. But the impact what doesn't leave
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: is the impact that you have while you're here.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: So Pliza has been talking a lot, and you know,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I saw some people in the comment section being like, oh,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Plaz continue to rap. I'm like, you must not have
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: been paying attention to him, or maybe it's because he's
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: saying something you don't agree with. Because he has been
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: speaking up on political issues for a long time. But
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: he I think he got frustrated because or you know,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: maybe I don't know if frustrated is the right word.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: I don't want to mischaracterize his feelings, but I would
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: say some frustration because after the event at the Vice
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: President's house, which I attended with so all of my
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: friends in the blazing heat, and we had a great
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: time together. There was a many of people there, some friends,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: some folks, but there were people there that I know
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: very well and they are and every you know, it
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: was just it was it was like a space that
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: was full of both political and activists. People who do
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: organize and work around the nation got together. Of course,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: entertainers and others, but you know, we had our own
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: little hoard. And people were saying that she danced, you know,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: she didn't dance, like like, oh, this is like the
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: first time she's ever heard this song, and look at
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: how she's dancing, and you know, and they were basically
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: getting on her because I guess she wasn't dancing black enough,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: and you know, people were kind of talking down on her.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: And he was like, I'm trying to understand. Kamala Harris
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: and Vice President they were trying. He was kind of like,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to understand that. One thing he did say
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: in his statement was that he didn't understand what the
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: problem was, Like why like like he said, no, no,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: he said, he didn't say themson. He did say that.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: But the thing he said that I was trying to
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: call attention to was that, you know, forget about what
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: she did in the past, like what is she doing
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: wrong right now? And I would say that I get
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: why some people would say you can't just go based
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: upon now. You do have to go back and look
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: at her history and then bring it to four to four,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Like so what is happening to day that is different?
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: And I and I can say that I definitely feel
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: this administration could be doing a whole lot more to
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: address the issues. But one of the things that he
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: raised was a lot of the problem that people have
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: with Joe Biden. And I watched it on CNN yesterday
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: in the morning. I was taking my braids out. I
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: was listening to Andrew Yang and another group of pundits
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: on the show talking about how Kamala can run the
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: country and Kamala this, and Kamala is that and the
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: third and I agree with Pliaze. First of all, I
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: made a comment in his thing that said perhaps people
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: felt she should have been scrubbing the ground. Like, I
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: don't even understand why we're getting into how the lady dances,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: because I know a lot of black people who are
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: super black that can't dance, that can't stay on tune,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: that can't clap on the beat. I know a lot
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: of people like that. That's not been her focus, you
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And I don't know why our
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: qualifier for any black person is whether or not they
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: dance black enough, or whether or not they've heard all
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: of these different songs, because some people just have not
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: had the same experiences. In fact, if you really want
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: to keep it a buck, it's a lot of our
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: own people that have children, people our age that have
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: children that don't even be around black people. They go
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: to school with other people. They don't dance, you know,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: they don't listen to freaking bootyhole Brown, and they would
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: die if their children had access to that type of stuff. Right,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: So Kamala Harris has a different experience, but she still
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: went to a black school. So the lady clearly has
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: been around black people because she went to a black school,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: so I don't get that. I do understand challenge in
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: her politics. Cool all for it. Sometimes I challenge it,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: sometimes I support it. It depends on where we stand.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: But I'm not sure how to qualify it because how
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: she danced. But more over, listening to the pundits on TV,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: the one thing I picked up and I'm not saying
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Andrew Yang said this, but he was a part of
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: the panel. So if people want to go back and
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: listen to it, you can look up when Andrew Yang
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: was on TV on CNN. But as a part of
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: that the pundit tree that I heard, they don't want
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: a woman period. Hillary Clinton was the most qualified woman.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I don't and I'm not even a Hillary Clinton person.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Me and my mentor a Cora Passes Berry get into
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: it all the time over Hillary, to the point where
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Hillary is off the table. Came to talk about Hillary
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: no more like me and you talking about the vaccine.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Can't talk, can't just can't. We gotta leave it because
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: sometimes I do. I am not a Hillary Clinton person,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: but I know she was more qualified than Donald Trump
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: to run this country. I know that, And now looking
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: at Kamala it just seems like they don't want a woman,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: and they damn sure don't want a black woman to
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: be president. I don't know if Joe, if Joe Biden,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: don't be mad.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: At me because because that when when when you know,
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: when the whole election was. I'm like, I want to
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: give a black woman a chance.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: We don't.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: I don't watch white men run this this country into
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: the ground for a bunch of years. We finally got
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: an opportunity to give a black woman an opportunity I'm
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: gonna get.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: I'm a vote for her every time.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: If it's her and another white man, I'm always gonna
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: both for it just ain't gonna work. It's just not
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: for me. It's just I'm gonna give her opportunity. You
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: want to bring up her history, I can dig into
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: every one of these white men's history and show you
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: some ship that they did that wasn't for us, that
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: we didn't like, you.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying. And it's just the reality a
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: lot of us.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: We we we we have to stop being pigeonholed by
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: by you know, by small shit, not really small ship,
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: by history.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Now we can't do like we can't.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: We have to acknowledge history, right, we gotta acknowledge things,
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: but we gotta understand that sometimes people evolved.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Sometimes your thought pattern changes. If we if we if we're.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Holding everyone to the things they did, they passed, and
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: I'm just not nobody you know what I'm saying, because
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: I know I've done shit in my past that people
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: will be like, that's fucked up.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. I've been so at the
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: end of the.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Day and in our recent past, in your recent past,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: and you still don't want to be held to that
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: because you might.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Have learned exactly.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: You just want to continue to grow and evolve, and
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: people give you opportunity based on who you are now
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: and and see those things. So when I look at
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Kama Up, you know, I see as a black woman,
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah she was in you know, she was a prosecutor,
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: and nobody.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Likes to prosecutor. Prosecutor and judges.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: They did not ever get the best, you know, especially
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: when you come from our communities, Like that's just the cops,
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: the prosecutors, all of those people is the people that
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: we don't want to talk about. We don't uphold the
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: system exactly, the uphold the system, but at the end
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: of the day when when we was being taught how
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: to get jobs and all that, those were the prevalent
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: jobs that we wanted to be lawyers, we wanted to
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: be in jail, we wanted to you know, we want
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: to do those things. And being a cop in our
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: community was actually one of the easiest jobs to get
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: if you just had a high school diploma, you know what,
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: so and you didn't have no no felonies and that.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: So a lot of people it's like, yo, I can
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: get a bunch of money, get a good job, paying job,
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: and they did it, you know what. I'm saying that
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: that's why you have some corrupt cops some good cops,
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: because some of them were still in the street life
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: and they utilized the badge to carry out a lot
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: of different ship. But I'm just saying that to say
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: that Kamala Harris deserves the opportunity to do what she does,
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: I don't see do it.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, right now, she is the vice president and therefore,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: and you know, I don't you know, you ain't gonna
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: see bus so much because she's the vice president.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: I don't think that I've ever seen but so much
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: that anybody, no, I mean, like I really don't want
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: to when we talk about vice presidency, I can't even
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: who call moves to the vice presidents, right, you know, But.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: The vice president does not run the country. The vice
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: assists the president in whatever it is that he is doing. Now,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: I get it, people want want to be like us,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: and we realize everybody like us running that motherfucker rip
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: it down, like tear it up. And people have the
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: right to feel that way. Understanding, we as black people
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: are dealing with so much hell that we need people
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: that do take over, that do speak out that do
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I get it, But that's not what the presidency. That's
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: not what the vice president does, and that is it's
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: just not the system the way that it operates, and
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: you have to use it as a tool. And what
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: we continue to say is that we have to go
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: within it and fight to get parts of what we
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: need done or at least to stop the bleeding in
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: places where bad things are happening. So now the hunt
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: to old hunt body, which you know, anyway, I don't care.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: Like what happened either, Like Hunters, he gets high.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: He's a kid.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: He's like a lot of people have a strange kids,
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: like he's one of those kids like he's just the
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: rotten apple man.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: You got a bun. You're like, damn this he.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: Just can't do always can't get right. Man, he don't
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: give fuck. He rebels. He said, I'm gonna get hi,
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: I'm and smoke some crack. I'm gonna go out there,
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna try to make me some money. I'm gonna
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: use whatever. Yeah, it's just who he is, like, and
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: they've run it and I get it. It's a political strategy.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: Like you you launch this impeachment ship. You do all
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: of this ship because you want to say if it's
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: smoke is fired, right, And if you do, the more
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: bad press that you can get for the president, the
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: more easier it is for you to be like, we
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: need to change this. Look at son, I know he
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: got something to do it. And people want to run
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: with the conspiracy theory anyway, So as long was you
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: giving him something to hold on too, that's I realized
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: that people enjoy the conspiracy theory, right. There a lot
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: of people who love the gotta be something, it has
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: to be more, it has to be more. And when
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: when those little conspiracy theories turn out to be right,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: sometimes they feel so good. God, they tell them anything
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: like they're so good when it gotta be something wrong,
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: you know, and you know that that this feeds into it.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: So Hunter is giving these people all they want. He
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: got three three gun chargers, indictment. They're happy, they get guns,
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: three guns, the three gun I think the three gun chargers,
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: that's what I'm see. I think it's three charges. Three guns.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: He was and died on three. I don't know if
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: it was three guns or three gun charges. I have
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: to look into that exactly, but I know that on
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: seeing then they said he has three gun possession chargers.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: So but gonna do a little time, man, I don't know.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: He might. Well he got that's the point.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: That's the problem.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: That's why, because then they try to clear him up
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: some other ship and people act like we don't get
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: how this game goes. We know that because he's the
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: president's child, he's going to get a little bit more
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: cover for some bullshit that he did. But first of all,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: let me just be clear. Yes, I want the system
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: to work, but I would be I would be a
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: big fat liar. I would be a big fat liar
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: if I did not say to you that I want
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: to hope that because my uncle worked at the police station,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: that God forbid I get into some trouble. At least
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a little bit of a nicer treatment.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: I might get some good blankets, might get a little
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: bit of understanding. Maybe the maybe that the chief gonna
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: listen to me a little bit listen close. Uh, And
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: that's the benefit of power.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what what do I what do the benefit me
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: to get in the office and I can't be able
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: to do a little sell for my own fai.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: I mean we get it right now, you should now
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: he now if it's some ship that is over the
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: top illegal, which that's why they came back again, and
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: that's what they're supposed to do.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: To your point, jail situation is people pay. Will you
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: think niggas pay one hundreds thousand dollars for a lawyer? Right,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: you pay.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: He ain't gonna get the same thing with one hundred
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: thousand dollars lawyer that he gonna get with eighteen b
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: or a motherfucker quarter. That's just the bottom line. You
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: paid for your freedom, You pay for the best. Look
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: that this is how the the American justice system works. Now,
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: if somebody and you do certain ship that it's like, okay,
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: we ain't with so much. We can make sure they
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: don't kill you. We're gonna get you. We can probably
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: get you natural life or maybe twenty five. But you're gonna,
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: you're gonna, You're gonna do what you Yeah.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, I get what's goinging on. I understand the
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: whole thing.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: The hood that got three gun charges, that got a
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: little probation man for the first time.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: So it's three counts. So you know, production is making
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: sure we got it together. And also I have to
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: correct something I put up on Instagram that's wrong the
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: other day, which is fine, like we are humans, but.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah we are.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: We ain't perfect funny conversation. Listen, we got minutes to
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: go perfect. But I'm ready to But I'm ready to
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: correct it and say what I wrote the other day
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: was wrong. It was it was not exact, and it
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: wasn't even what I was trying to say. But being fast,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: being emotional, I made a mistake. So anyway, Production sent
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: us something in the stage that says. Biden was indicted
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Thursday in federal court in Delaware on three counts tied
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: to possession of a gun while using narcotics. So you
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: getting and you got a gun, you ain't supposed to
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: have it. I don't even think keep supposed to have
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: me go through You gotta go through it, but I'm
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: not gonna see it and act like I don't understand
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: how the system operates. And that to your point, even
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: with Pooky them, if you know the right people, or
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: you got the money, or you got all the things
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: you need, you gonna get a little bit of different treatment.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Doesn't mean you ain't going to jail, but you if
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: your lawyer know the judge and the DA it has
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: a good relationship with those two people more than bally,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: they gonna have a little bit of leniency. That's why
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: some lawyers. I've had lawyers say to me, oh you okay,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: I say, hey, can you help out with this person's case?
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: They go which judge?
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: Is that?
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Why you think they asked that question because they know
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: certain judges. She don't like me. Every time I go
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: before her, she don't like me. And I'm gonna tell
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: you what it comes down to, some simple shit. I
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: had a black man lawyer tell me that the judge
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: tried to because these are regular people. I think when
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: people see you sitting as a judge. You're not you
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: as a regular person. When you come down and take
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: the rollbo off, you steal you out here fucking sucking
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: and doing everything that everybody else is doing. And the
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: judge try to get with him, and he didn't want.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: You know the lawyer I'm talking about. You already know
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: the lawyer I'm talking about the judge try to get
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: with him. He didn't want to get with the lawyer.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: And ultimate I mean with the judge. And ultimately every
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: time he goes before her, it's not that she does
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: anything illegal. He's not saying that.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: You give me none that good good. It's gonna be
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: some pride, don't worry about it. Yeah, you're gonna figure
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: this out. Gonna be the only one, you know what
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: I'm saying.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Your client, whatever the look though, what did Ricky ruse.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Are all the rest of that ship ain't no key
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: none of that. You got a chance to keep the key.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: That brings me to my thought of the day, sir, so,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: I also saw a Plausa's comments. How first of all,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: he also wrote the thing, I want to make sure
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: we represent everything he said, because this is so true
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: that the Trump administration and all the Trump trumpy trumpy people,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: all his people, his administration, his people, the trunkers, the
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Maga people. They keep telling you the system is corrupt
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: until they want to use it, because when they're using
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: it for themselves, they're not saying, how could Hunter Biden
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: be indicted? The system is corrupt. They completely fine with
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: him suffering the consequences and be it because it makes
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: the president look bad. But when it's them indicted on anything,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: it's a weird chrying the system is corrupt, so on
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: and so forth.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Like the system is always working fine, it's working just fine.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: Whenever it's we catching hell, I don't get what happened.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: We can be getting arrested and throw them to the ground,
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: beat up for two dollars crimes and it's not a
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: witch hunt. Niggas is doing jail ten years because they stole.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: Nobody on that side says a world. The system is fine.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: They put these judges. Do y'all keep putting them judges
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: up there? That's trying to throw away the key. Then
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: you came talking about locking people up and death penalty
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: for drugs is fine, Everything is fine, but you lock
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: up one of them Trump Trump get them as a
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: witch hunt. I can't believe it. It's just unbel It's
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: the worst thing ever. Trump got all type of shit
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: that he got, all types of emails January sixth, all
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: type of shit, but somebody get him as a witch
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: hunt and it's on record.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: System is broken.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: It's terribly We got the criminal on cameras and shit,
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: and we locking them up.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely right, but s he here's my little quick
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: thought of the day. I'm reading the comments because of
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: course I said something, so then all the hate is
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: start tagging me to tell me I ain't shit, I
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: stole money, you know, the same thing, the same sub
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: And then they keep saying both of us are paid, right,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: me and plies, we've been paid. And you know what
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: I want to say, What if we just believe what
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: we're saying? Like, what makes you think that we got
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: to be paid because you believe something different from people?
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: I don't get it to say I'm dumb or you
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: or I'm somebody you don't deal with, you don't like me.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Why do you have to say I'm paid because I
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: don't believe what you believe. I don't think you paid
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: because you have a different opinion.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: No, because you know why, because you actually have a
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: profile and your opinion resonates with a lot of people,
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: and it's valuable.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Right. So when you have a valuable opinion and it
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: goes against someone.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: Someone else's opinion, who don't think their opinion is as
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: valuable as yours adult or it's probably not as valuable
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: as yours in a grand scheme of things, they the
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: only recourse they have, and the only other thing they
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: could come up with is the same motherfucking spewing bullshit
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: that you paid for this. Everything is paid. I don't
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: think that a woman should be beat. Yeah, you're simp.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: They're paying you off. You know you're doing it for No.
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: I just don't think women should get beat I just
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: you know, I don't. I don't see a reason for
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: a man to physically punch and brutalize a fucking woman.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: That if somebody's paying me this, I wish they would
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: pay me to say that.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: I really wish that I was getting paid for the ship,
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: because yeah, I ready go through the ship and this
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: is how I feel anyway. So if somebody was paying
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: to think the way I think already, this would be
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: the easiest.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Job in the world. Hey, I mean, what I'm trying
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: to say is that if I want, I don't want
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: to know where the check is. I don't want anybody
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: I listen as I get older and I am becoming
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: much more in tune with like my spiritual understanding in
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: the world and stuff I want to be. And I'm
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: not going to sit here and say that every terrible
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: place about me or I wouldn't say terrible, but every
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: dark thing or every bad thought that I have or
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: bad action that I've taken, I'm just putting it on display.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: But of course not that's nobody's reality. Everybody has something
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: that they hold that it's like, damn, I hate I
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: did that thing or I said this thing, or even
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: the way that I feel about certain people. You don't
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: always want you don't want the world to know that.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: So cool, But I want to be very transparent in
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: this moment right here with you. If it is a
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: check that is available for the purpose of me being
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: able to speak my mind and my truth, I would
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: like it. I need it.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: It's the best check ever.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: I need it. I really do. I am. I am,
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: I am soliciting the check. God's you are listening to
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: this today, and all I gotta do is say exactly
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: what I've been saying because this is how I feel.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Please write me a check because I need it.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: I need please.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, family, So friends come to Street Politicians, and we

• 42:16
  Speaker 1: So I'm hoping that this woman's energy is about to
• 42:19

  Speaker 4: and thank you for having me and thank you always.
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: Both of you guys are always representing for Harlem. You know,
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: my son, I know you uptown overall, but I mean,
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: you know you always in Harlem streets representing, and like
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: you said, we need that energy. We have now the
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: fifty fourth annual African American Day Parade, and that's incredible.
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: And one of the things I've been getting to Mika
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: and my son is that people are like, why isn't
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: our parade as big as the Dominican Day Parade all
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: these other parades, And I say it starts with us
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: as a community. We have to come out. People are like,
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: we're the celebrities. I'm like, we don't need celebrities. We
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: need to be the celebrities. We have enough lot amazing
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: people in Harlem who if they really showed up and
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: showed out, and if everyone got together and did every block,
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: did a float, every poping block, because there's a lot
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: of popping blocks in Harlem. The floats are literally twenty
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: five hundred dollars, and oh, come down and march down
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: Seventh Avenue and show our pride in our community pride.
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: So that's what I'm doing. I have my flow, my
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: flow is a little customs, so of course a little
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: bit more than twenty five podcasts. I got merchandise, I got,
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: you know, the church fans. I got towels, and I
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: have three organizations that I'm working with. I'm working with
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: Harlem United, which is an HIV AIDS advocacy group, working
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: with I think you might know these folks the go
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: Hart Dance Studio, well from three years old at eighteen
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: years old, who are in a dance studio where they're
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: getting scholarships and they're being kept off the streets and
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: they're being able to hone in on their creativity. And
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: then the third one, I know, you know Stephanie McGraw
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: from Warm Domestic helping black women who have been the
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: victims of domestic violence. And my son, I know that's
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: near and dear to your heart because you don't play
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: no games about black women organizations that I'm doing fundraising for.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: That's so dope, you know.
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: I love love the African American Day Parade, the Home Prey,
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: and I was actually honored.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: I've been to Marshall on numerous years.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: A Grand.
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: Let's make sure we get it right. I've been to
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: Grandmashall and I just like you said, I want to
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: I want to feel the energy of the parade again, right,
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: I want I wanted. I wanted to get back to
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: what it was when I was a young kid. I
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: used to love just to come down.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: Here and beat there.
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: I just don't think at this point it's being marketed
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: like it should be.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: I don't think that, you know what I'm saying.
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: I think people enough people know, Like if I didn't
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: know you, or I didn't know directly the person who
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: runs it and I run into them in Harlem all
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: the time, I wouldn't even know that it's here.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: Why Why isn't it being promoted on social media? Why
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: isn't Hot ninety seven saying hey, we're doing this? How
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: is it one o five? Like, why aren't staples in
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: our community and major platforms, you know, really advocating for
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: like it should because it's a big thing, and it's
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: always a big thing.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: So I just want to get back to that.
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: I agree. I think you're so spot on with that.
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: And you know, while we can't ever really say why
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: these other places are not doing the promotion, I really
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: do believe it starts with us, you know what I mean?
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: I think that one Jasmin who is heading up the parade,
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: but she took over from her grandfather who passed away.
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: She's a one man band. That's crazy right there, right.
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: And then two, you know, she doesn't have any sponsorship
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: people that are going out there and selling sponsorships for her.
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: Because that's how all the big parades really get it done.
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: And that's my whole thing. Right If we, all of us,
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: people who mean something to the culture, came out and
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: and really got people excited about the parade, it would
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: be a much bigger parade.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: You know. I you know, I want us to just
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: do it. I don't want to cast any negativity over
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: the conversation, but I'm sure you know of some of
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: the reasons why people have not been involved. And hopefully
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: this new energy that you're bringing is an evolution of
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: where we can go because I remember when it was
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: the shit, like when the parade was a big deal.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: In fact, in my book that I'm writing now, I'm
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: almost finished. I'm on chapter eighteen. You know how hard, honey,
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: I know how hard, honey, honey. Okay, I'm on chapter eighteen.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: I have twenty one chapters and I'm editing. Actually, so
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: the book is written. I'm editing that. I'm finishing actually
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: chapter nineteen. Now wow, And I know I got a
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: vent about that real quick. I got stuck on a
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: timeline issue with a woman who's helping me write it.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: And you know how when you get in that spot
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: where you gotta go my songs book is about to
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: come out as well, you get in that second book.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: You get in that and it's like, what the hell happened? Now?
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: You got to go all the way back to try
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: to make sure that the thing is consistent. Writing books
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: is something you don't understand.
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: You do a memoir like that. The facts have to
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: be factoring right period.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: Because we get to wait to break one.
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, so I know what you're going through.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: So I'm in. So one of the things that is
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: in the early part of the book is about my
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: mother didn't really like She wasn't like crowds and parades
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: and all of that. But my father, that is one
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: of the youngest memories I had of him waiting until
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: I came home from church on Sunday because my mother
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: took me to church. My father would wait until I
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: got home and when he when I got there, I
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: got myself something to eat, put on my damn near
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: easter outfit because remember you had a special outfit to
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: go to the parade.
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: Hey, I hear that he would.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: I mean my father would take me out and he
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: would put me either up on the light posts or
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: on his shoulders to be able to watch those bad
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: ass black girls and guys coming down giving it up
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: in that parade. And it was and it was popped outside.
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, you know they have the HBCU bands and
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: the major rets coming out this year, so that's gonna
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: be exciting. I have DJ S and S on my float. Okay, yeah,
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: I got I got my tequila already on deck, you know.
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: So I'm really trying to make sure that we have
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: the energy there. And you know, for us, our friend Wadin,
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: you know, he's one of the Grand Marshals, so you
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: already know that that's gonna be a full on movie.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: Tell us the three organizations again, It's.
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: Hallam United, It's Warm, which is we all really matter,
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: and then it's the Go Hard Dance Studio. And these
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: are all grassroots organizations us guys. You know, there's a
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: lot of big organizations that give money to Harlem, but
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: they're not based in Harlem. These are based in Harlem,
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: and these are people from the community. You know. Stephanie
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: just decided.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: Every day Stephanie on it. Every day.
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: Every day she's walking through the streets and grabbing women
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: that are being in abusive relationships, and she's like, I
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: got a place.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: For you, you know.
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: Go hard dance studio. She just decided because her daughter
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: was being denied the opportunity to do hip hop, dance
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: and a classical dance studio in Harlem which will remain nameless.
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: She said, Oh no, then I need to create something
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: so the girls who want to do hip hop but
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: also want to do ballet, they have a home to
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: come to. And then Harlem United. It's on the streets
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: doing needle exchange. You're doing the testing for finsanol and
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: the drugs. They're like doing all of that stuff as
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: well as HIV and AIDS. They're doing all these things,
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: are doing the work. I wanted to get grassroots. I
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: wanted to get in it. Yeah, because that's what you do.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: That's the thing I think we love about her. Right
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: min It's like you can see Bev and Greece twelve
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: o'clock and then in the night. Somehow you have made
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: it back for a small event that one of us
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: may be throwing, or somebody else that's just doing a
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: little fundraiser for their community. You are the truly a
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: friend to the stars, and the people thank you.
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: As are you guys. You guys do it all day.
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: And I think that it's important for the folks who
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: are your listeners and your viewers to understand that when
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: you get to a certain point, it doesn't mean now,
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden, you turn your back on who
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: really made you. Because if all of us are being honest,
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: it's really outside that made us. If without outside, we
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: don't get to even have the swagger that allows us
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: to be in all these big fancy rooms that we
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: are in. It doesn't allow us to go out into
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: the spaces. But it's really our grit, right, and it's
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: our and it's our street smarts as well as our
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: book smart. But that Harlem grit, that Bronx grit, that
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: just New York City grit, is what gives us the energy,
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: the vim, the vigor to go forth. So we got
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: to give back.
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: You're always giving back. You always do so much.
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: I don't even know you just don't do so much
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: Like Bev is just the all around, you just do.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: So much things. You always got something that's amazing. I
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: go to your page and I'd be like, look at that.
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: The next year, you guys can be a part of
• 52:36
  Speaker 4: it as well. I would love, love, love Tamika and
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: my you guys, you know street politicians.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah we should, and please send us the flyers
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: and whatever else, so at least we can do a
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: lot of heavy promotion and just make sure people know.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: I think that's the thing is that we got to
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: ask people directly to help us promote it because I
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: want to see it come back. I want to see
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: it come back for our children. I know it gave
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: me a lot of inspiration, and I want to see
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: that happen for our young girls because I think with
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: the and I don't ever put down any of these
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: young women whatever they're doing. I don't necessarily agree or whatever,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: but I understand people have to evolve, they grow, they're
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: going to go through periods. But there's a lot of
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: content out there that is not good for the minds
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: of our young women. And instead of us trying to
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: fight that, because you know, you can only do but
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: so much. You got to provide them a different image
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: and we just need to make it fool. So thanks BEV.
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: And we also can still be sexy and vibrant and
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: all the things, because I mean, when I'm wearing, it's
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: gonna be and you see the girls as out, so
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: it's all coming on the regular on the regular. But
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: we can still be flying. We can be all those things.
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: And it doesn't mean like because we're doing the right
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: thing or we're doing good things that we need to
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: be like you know the outset. Yeah, we too fly
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: for all of that.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: I don't live.
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: That's I don't.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: I'm just telling y'all I would not even be a
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: portion of my true self if I didn't not let
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: y'all see. Sometimes the girls is out. Sometimes I might
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: be twerking. I go out. I was on a podcast
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: the other day. The lady said, you go to the
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: strip club? I said, you go to the strip club?
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like when I go to a city and I
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: arrived at nine o'clock at night, everything is closed. Anyway,
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: I hang out where the.
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: People wings and good and it might meet.
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: Somebody, might meet somebody, because sometimes it be some you
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying exactly exactly.
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: But we can also still do until for him.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: When I get up in the morning, I go down
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: to the state House and tell a white man about
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: what he's doing to my people. And don't stop. It's
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: not like I oversleep the rat I'm doing both. That's okay.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: I'm forty, So that's it.
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: His talent is all about balance, and that's what we
• 55:08
  Speaker 4: do and that's what we give. And this is good
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: examples for the people that are looking and listening, and
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: they need to know that it's all about balance. That's right. Oh,
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: got to have a balance, got to have the balance
• 55:19
  Speaker 4: than you guys. Thank you so much for you.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: And that's the information so we can get it out
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: and y'all make sure you support the three organizations. Y'all
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: be talking about what to do. It ain't nobody doing nothing.
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: I can't find nobody do nothing. Well, there's three organizations
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: doing things for people who might be impacted by HIV
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: or trying to prevent folks from getting it. There are
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: there's a program for children from three to eighteen that
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: want to do hip hop and classical ballet dance all
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: in one that keeps our young women off the street.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: Y'all talking about y'all don't like this and that and
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: that in the booty holes. Well, then here's something else.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: Then you also have a woman that's doing I know, Steph,
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: she's doing real work, serious work around domestic violence, which
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: we know is an issue. And domestic violence is not
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: just your man beating you up. It might be your mama,
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: your daddy, you and your sisters. Like, domestic violence can
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: be a lot of things, and she's doing good work
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: on that. So y'all support these organizations.
• 56:19
  Speaker 4: Thanks Ben, thank you, my baby, Thank you, guys, I
• 56:21
  Speaker 4: love you.
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: Shout out to our friend, the great Bebby smith Man.
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: Bebby does so many things. Her energy is just contagious.
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: Like when you see bev, I don't give a fuck
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: what you going through. You having a bad day. When
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: you see Bebby, you gonna smile.
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: You're gonna smile. That's just that's the energy she's always had.
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: I remember Bebvy was like one of the first people
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: I seen when I came home from prison. I went
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: to see Fat joson when I think he was doing
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: a video shoot or something, and Bebby was in his trailer.
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: As soon as I walked in and she was just
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: so happy to see me, hugging me, and we had
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: the best coming and I just remember that I was
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: fresh home from prison. I was like still like, you know,
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: just moving and her energy just made me lighting up.
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: You know, being being in prison for so long, you
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: just you still guarded, you don't know what's going on.
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: You quiet, and I had like a child like joy
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: just talking it back her energy to shout out to her,
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: say is.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: My memory of her or my feeling about her? You know,
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: in this world, people are not always kind. And I've experienced,
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: just like everybody else, moments when I walked in the
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: rooms and felt like people funny acting towards me. You know,
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: just a lot of things. Never with Beverly, every time
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: I see her, every time you see Bevsmith, she gonna
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: give you love. She never acts funny towards me. She
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: never didn't speak. You don't really know where she is.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: She is consistently on it and consistently supporting people. So
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: I'm glad she was here today.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, shout out to her, love her man.
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: That brings me to my I don't get it today.
• 58:08
  Speaker 3: So we were just talking like while we were interviewing her,
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: you were saying, you know, the alternatives to the music,
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: and certain things we don't like about the booty holes
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: and all these things. So I try not, you know,
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: I try to be you know, understanding I'm an artist
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: and understanding artistry and understand there's different things.
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: There's ratchet shit, So even if.
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: It's not for me, I try to just keep my
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: ears and just be okay. Maybe I understand that some
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: of the shit is just all the way to the left,
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: but I try to get people the opportunity for evolutions.
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: So I don't really, you know, really talk bad about
• 58:44
  Speaker 3: artists in that manner. But I was listening to a
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: song that the ratchet Girls, they call them the Ratchet Girls,
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: that I'm Sukiyana and Sexy Red hat.
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: In this.
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: Suki Yana the Sexy braversalk in my booty hole, and.
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: Uh, everybody's about to say Thingucie Queanuci.
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: Your Kouchie Green clear and all this ship and they
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: never said the stinking or whatever.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: And Sukiyana comes on and she said to tell Joe
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: Biden that she want to fuck the press. I'm saying
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: to myself, Joe Biden is damn near dead.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: No, one don't say that Joe Biden is eighty man,
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: but that isn't almost dead. I know eighty year old
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: people that's doing fine.
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying they're not doing fine. But the life
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: expectancy for the average human being is not even eighty.
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: The man has lived past life expected.
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: I can go with that. You know, in this girl,
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: young girl, it's too about you want to like, what
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: are we talking about? That's like me looking at old woman, just.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: Like like what Pelosi?
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: Like what would I do with Nancy Pelosi?
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: I just like we are in a clickbait era, and
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: so in this moment, that's the type of stuff they
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: talk about. I mean, what do you want? That's it?
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: That's it, booty hoole. It's the same thing like her.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 4: Being on the floor.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: I could understand if you gave me an old, handsome
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: black man or something.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 4: But.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: That's not going to get the same amount. We are
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: in a troll slash click.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: You say the dumbest shit ever, like that's the wall.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: And see if it's stick. It's so. It stuck so
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: much you bought it up today and believe it, and
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: and and at the end of the day, this is
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: why right, everybody goes to the red carpet, it stands
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: up and takes a picture, and where they get mentioned.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: Mainly it's for how fly they are or how terrible
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: they look. That's that's the red carpet game. It's how
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: fly you look or how terrible you look, or who
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: you show up with. Those things are no longer. It's
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: like drugs. It's we are in the era where they
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: gotta get more so dopamine exactly, it's not enough. You
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: need the fentanyl. It's the fentanyl error right.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: Where now now or you come close to it, you
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: need so.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: You because what I have on I don't know if
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: I can fuck with Joe Blow and Tow. I don't
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: know if that maybe I can, maybe I can't. Actually,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: I personally thought that Sukiana looked really cute, Like I
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: liked her dress. I thought it was sexy and I
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: thought she her body looked nice in it. I thought
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: she looked good when she stood up and I saw
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: the picture, I'm like, Okay, that dress could but it
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: probably wasn't going to get the same attention as young
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: Miami who people had a bunch of opinions about how
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: she looked and then other people that were on the carpet,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: that folks might have been like, oh, this was the
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: best thing ever, you know, or whatever, so probably was
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: gonna get that. Then she probably wasn't going to get
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: the worst, so she would have just been one of
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: those that passed through. So she went to the ground
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: to put her behind and her tongue out because that,
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: for her was what would get her offending all high.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: So that's the era that we're in. So why not say,
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden my booty holes brown?
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: Oh man, you couldn't even what you're gonna do. He
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: couldn't even do nothing with that.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: But these young women And one of the reasons why
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: I don't, I don't, you know, And people keep telling me, oh,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: you need to say this, and then I hear them,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: and I'm not saying they're wrong, because I do see
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: the problem. I see it, and I believe they see
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: it too. The industry knows. And it's once again the
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: same thing that you talked about of industry gives incentives
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: to violence and the drill rappers and all of that,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: and the same thing is happening with the over sexualization
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: of women. But you know, I think it was either
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: sexy read or one of them came out with the
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: dog chain on being walked on the ground. Somewhere somewhere
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: I heard that and guess what people did that before?
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: Snoop did that? Like you know, this is the tip drill,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: the credit card swipe, the whole thing. These are things
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: that have been happening. Well. A lot of people have
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: issue with it because women are now doing it on
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: our own, which we were not before. But the other
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: thing I realized is these are kids. They are kids,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: and as time goes on, they will and that's the goal.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: Man. So you understand. You wouldn't have said for your mind,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: so you come off.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: It ain't for you to understand. I read somewhere and
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: we got to go. But I read somewhere something that said,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: nobody cares what you and I think because we thought
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: and forty seven and date on kids.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: He just you got here from somehow we got here.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: You understand. Thing.
• 1:04:07
