Speaker 7 (02:39):
Montee Martel Folks.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
The family of Jabari Smith would be celebrating his nineteenth
birthday today except gun down by cops and Homewood, Alabama,
on June twenty third. Police claim that Jabari reached for
a gun during a scuffle over marijuana possession, but the
family says that simply is not true. A witness says
(03:15):
that Jabari was unarmed and shot in the back. Now,
for two nights, protesters have filled the streets in Homewood, Alabama,
calling for justice in the release of the officers bodycam footage.
The family's attorney has followed a petition requesting and a
judge make the evidence public, but the authorities say releasing
that video could hinder their investigation.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Joining us now it's the Rusch.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Attorney Lee Roy Maxwell Junior, representing the people's family.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
So, Lira, we've done these stories one.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Thousand times before, and when the video exonerates the police,
they are real quick to drop the video, but they're
saying that it's going to.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Hinder the investigation.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I'm confused how it either shows us what happened or
does it.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I agree with you, Roland, and I appreciate you having
us on. You're right. Typically, whenever these things happen, and
you know as well as I do, they release the
videos right away with a sense of urgency to clear
their officers. But in this situation, the family's demanding it,
the community's demanding it, everyone's demanding the video because we
(04:21):
kind of have an idea what's going to happen now.
I think what they're doing right now is preparing for
the backlash.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Okay, so I laid out story here. So what happened?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Where do they stop him? Why do they stop him?
Just explain to us what actually took place.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Right So, what we know right now is that this
young man, Jabari People's eighteen year old recent graduate from
high school, was in a suburban white neighborhood. It's a
suburb of Birmingham, Alabama, which is typically a black city,
but we have suburbs around there, and so he was
in a suburban area, Homewood, probably eighty percent white population.
(05:02):
He was there visiting with his girlfriend, who recently graduated
from high school about starting un versus of Alabama, and
they were hanging out at a local spot where most
of the teenagers hang out, the Homewood soccer Park. They
were approached by officers. Officer claimed that he smelled marijuana
at a discussion about marijuana with the girlfriend. Nothing about
Jabbari and marijuana, but he pulled them out of the car,
(05:25):
put them up against the car, and that's when things
started getting real funny and murky. At some point, we
know there was a tussle, the girlfriend takes off running
and one shot was fired, all right, and so we
don't know what happened, but we know a couple things.
According to the girlfriend, she had never seen Jabari with
the gun. He was never armed and afterwards, when she
(05:45):
said when the officer sent him set her beside his
bleeding body, did not see a gun at all. The
next thing we know, from looking at the body, having
our investigators taking hundreds of photos, our own investigation, we
know that there was one shot and that was Shabari
being shot in the back and the left Flower quadrant
(06:06):
that was the only shot, no exit wom whatsoever. And
then the third thing is that we know that there
are surveillance cameras and bodycam footage on the actual officer.
Those are the items that are going missing. So what
we have right now is witnesses saying he was unarmed,
he was shot in the back, he's dead. You should
be alive today. And then the third missing part of
(06:26):
it is the actual video of what happened, and that's
what the law enforcement's refusing to release at this point.
And it doesn't make sense unless they're trying to cover
something up.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
So when you say the video has gone missing, what
does that mean?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Oh, well, not necessarily missing the video. We know where
the video is. We know that Homewood City have the video,
We know Alabama law enforcement agency had the video. They're
just refusing to allow us to view it. And so
right now there's some bad lay on the books that
allow Alabama law enforcement agencies to withhold evidence if they
(07:06):
think it's an ongoing investigation. Now we know ongoing or not.
In these situations, police always release the body cam footage.
If it's exonerating, if it's this positive in their favor,
they let it out. But we also know when it
goes the other way around, they hold on to it.
And I think that's what's going on here. We filed
(07:27):
in court, we've made our demands. We just filed depleting yesterday,
so we expect to have our day in court and
get this information immediately.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
And so, first of all, we've done so many of
these stories beforehand. When you talk about these laws in
these states, they have requirements. In fact, you've got Republicans
who have been trying to pass other laws in other
states that restrict the release of any footage regardless of
a situation, and some even compel a judge to sign an.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Order for the video to be released.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Right and Alabama is one of those states as well.
We recently had some legislation pass essentially said the family,
whenever there's a police involve shooting, the family has the
right to access and to view the bodycam footage. However,
that access is denied if there's an ongoing investigation. It
(08:24):
does not allow access to the media. It does not
allow for a foil Freedom of Information Act to see
the video. It basically puts a ton of restrictions on it,
but has this small little caveat that says a family
could view a video, but then has a role of
fifteen twenty reasons why they cannot, and it's easy for
them to enforce that anytime they want. And on top
(08:45):
of that, Alabama's one of the states that just passed
one of those additional immunity bills that not only give
officers qualified immunity, state agent immunity, Now there's an extra
level of protection of immunity that they have in these
short incidents. So in Alabama we have one of those
double whammy sites. We're on the surface, they give you
(09:06):
the idea that hey, family could look at it, but
in reality, all the deal does is codify exactly what
it is that you cannot do and what it is
officers can use to prevent the family from actually watching
the footage.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
You said he was a recent recent a high school graduate,
and he's in this He was visiting his girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Have there been any previous issues with police in Homewood?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yeah, So Homewood has a long string of incidents. This area,
Like I said, the suburb suburban areas around there. I
think what what black folks got to understand is that
even when we are in these situations, when we feel comfortable,
we're actually still behind enemy lines. And the reality is
(09:59):
they don't want to say, all right, whether it's me,
whether it's you, whether it's our sons, eighteen year old
a sixty five year old, they don't want us there.
If this was a young white boy and you know,
hanging out with his friends in his baseball uniform, they
wouldn't have bothered him. But because of who he is
and what do he look like, they initiated an engagement
(10:20):
with him that was completely unnecessary. And even if there
was even if his girlfriend did have marijuana on her,
that doesn't lead to a death sentence. Jabari was someone's son,
someone's brother, friend, bright future, wanted a future in law
enforcement himself. He worked security with one of the major
hospitals in the state of Alabama, so he had nothing
(10:42):
but respect for the law. But no matter how much
respect he had for them, it wasn't returned on to him.
And we always pray that our sons make it back home,
and he was one that didn't make it back home.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
And it was senseless, obviously, because of what you just described.
You said this home was a largely white white suburb.
I have to ask the question, girlfriend, she African Americans,
she's white, she was.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
An African American. This was a dinastic.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
So this wasn't a This wasn't a situation.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
This wasn't a situation of a white girl then a
white cop black boy.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Wasn't anything like that. That's why I was asking the question.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
No, it wasn't that situation. This is a black couple
mattening their own business out there in a park where
teenagers often are. If you go to the park right now,
it's littered with teenagers hanging out as teenagers do, schools
out or on if it's a Friday night or schools out,
they hang out in parking lot, not doing anything wrong.
(11:44):
If officers wanted to arrest every single kid or bother,
every single kid that hung out in a parking lot
enjoying their time and enjoying their summer, the prisons would
be full of folks. But if they don't do that,
because it doesn't make sense. This was a black couple
enjoying them So but even when we try to enjoy
ourselves or be to ourselves, they won't let us be.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
A whole lot to unpack here. Black Lives Matter grass Roots,
they've been protesting. They reached out to me to talk
about their involvement as well. So you really have a
lot of intensity going here from people demanding demanding justice.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Oh yeah, we have a lot of move in here.
We're blessed to have the support of Black Lives Matter,
other organizations are stepped up and stepped in for the family,
and really we're doing everything we can. And I appreciate
all the protests there, all the activists who are involved
with this, because all too often it's just the families
(12:46):
and the lawyers trying to fight this thing out. But
we're in a really good situation right now with a
lot of support, and we're moving boots on the ground
trying to make something happen.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
All right, then, we'll surely appreciate you joining us to
keep us updated what happens next in this case.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Thank you, Thank you so much for having us. I
appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
All right, folks, got to go to break, We come back,
introduce my panel. We'll talk about other news of the day,
including the catastrophic bill that was passed in Congress today
by the United States House after a marathon speech by
House Democratic Leader Hakim Jeffries that more next to the
role of unfiltured on the Black Slow Network.
Speaker 8 (13:29):
This week, on the other side of change in mass incarceration,
Trump administration is doubling down on criminalization and how it
is profitable.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
And there's something really really.
Speaker 9 (13:39):
Perverse about saying that we need to put people in
cages in order for other people to have jobs Like
that is not how our economy should be built.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Only on the other side of change on the Blackstar Network.
Speaker 10 (13:53):
Well, the next Get Wealthy with Me, Deborah Oh want
America's wealth coach. Less than five percent of the time
executive positions in corporate America are held by women of color.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
We know it's not because of talent.
Speaker 10 (14:09):
A recent study says that it's micro questions, unconscious bias,
and limited opportunities being offered to women of color. On
our next show, We're going to get incredible advice from
Francine Parham, who's recently written a book sharing.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Exactly what you need to do.
Speaker 10 (14:31):
To make it up into the management ranks and get
the earnings that you deserve.
Speaker 11 (14:37):
I made a point to sit down and I made
a point to talk to people, and I made a
point to be very purposeful and thought provoking when I
spoke to them.
Speaker 10 (14:46):
That's right here on Get Wealthy only on Blackstar Network.
Speaker 12 (14:54):
Hi, I'm doctor Jackie of A Balanced Life. Think about
the men in your life and ask yourself these questions.
Who are their male role models? Who can they turn
to for advice to learn about what manhood is all about?
On our next show, we talk about why mail mentoring
is so important to men of all ages. Actor Dedre
(15:14):
Whitfield leads an all star cast and panel to answer
these and many other probing questions.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
A woman can't teach you how to be something that
she's not.
Speaker 12 (15:23):
That's on the next A Balance Life with Doctor Jackie
on Blackstar Network.
Speaker 13 (15:29):
Next on The Black Table with me Greg car a
very different take on June tenth with the one and
only Doctor Sinata on we'll explore the amazing foods, remedies
and rituals that are part of our history and the
June teenth holidays.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
So it's our responsibility to return the healthier version to
our folks instead of just the red liqueurs marketed to us,
the red sodas and the other things. I mean, why
does the Kool aid man have to sound like Louis Armstrong?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Right?
Speaker 13 (16:01):
An enlightening and tasty out of the Black Table, only
on the Black Star Network.
Speaker 14 (16:11):
What's good?
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Johnnie?
Speaker 15 (16:12):
Is Doug e Freshman watching my brother Roland Martin underbuilt
it as we go with a little something like this
hit it.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
It's real, all right, folks?
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Is Donald Trump for cooking the books?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
The June jobs report is out and it's weird.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
The US economy, according.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
To the Bureau Labor Statistics, added one hundred and forty
seven thousand jobs last month, beating expectations. Unemployment rate dipped
to four point one percent, the low since February. Most
of the games came from guess what government hiring state
and local, especially in education. The private sector added just
seventy four thousand jobs. It's we can show in months
(17:01):
the federal government actually lost seven thousand jobs, continuing a
year of deep cuts. Now we're gonna go beneath the
numbers joined us right now to break it all down.
Morgan Harpware, director of policy and Advocacy at the American
Economic Liberties Project.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Okay, so Morgan, now I'm confused because we had the
what is it is?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
It ADP their numbers before a day before, saying loss
of thirty three thousand jobs. Now this and I've seen
people posting on social media even a sort of item
where Bloomberg called out these numbers as being fudged.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Can you explain us what the hell is going on?
Speaker 5 (17:44):
Well, I don't know if I even have full information
on that. I mean, I have not seen that Bloomberg story.
Speaker 16 (17:49):
We don't, of course know fully what's happening within the
Trump administration. But I do think that it's possible that
there's some discrepancies and this does happen other months two,
some discrepancy between what the ADP figures are predicting and
that we ultimately end up seeing from the government data. So,
you know, hard to say for sure, but I think
(18:10):
even if we are taking these numbers at face value,
and like you said, Roland, they are showing some increase
in job creation numbers, if we.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Look below the hood, there's plenty to.
Speaker 16 (18:23):
Be concerned about and could be signs of future trouble.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
So explain.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Okay, So, for example, a.
Speaker 16 (18:33):
Few things to note, because like I said, there's a
lot one people who are unemployed are staying unemployed longer
that's disconcerting because now it's like you're trying to find
a job, but you're not able to get one. Problematic two,
the manufacturing jobs continue to go down. So you noted
that a lot of the job growth is in public sector,
(18:55):
local state government, education, even healthcare. You know, that's not
always that's not usually private sectory. There are a lot
of nonprofit hospitals for example, things like that. Uh, we're
not seeing the gains in the private sector. This is
the whole theory of the case for them is they're
bringing back manufacturing and rebuilding America and all of this.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Well, this is the second month in a row where.
Speaker 16 (19:16):
We've seen multi thousands of manufacturing job losses U and
you know, we noted you know, it's not across a
lot of different industries. The average number of hours that
people are working is also going down. And of course
it's possible people are voluntarily trying to work less or summertime,
you know, maybe things with kids and who knows, but
(19:39):
it could be a sign and I think a lot
of people are wondering if it is a sign that
people again are not able to work as much as
they want. So they are still employed, but they're just
not able to get as many hours in you know,
schedule as many shifts as they as they would like.
And importantly, black and unemployment is rising. So even though
overall unemployment is still staying pretty steady, and in these
(20:00):
numbers from this past month, black unemployment going.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
Up and you know in those fluctuate a lot.
Speaker 16 (20:05):
We've talked about that, so we'll just have to see
how it all gets suggested. But that is you know,
the other take on some of these job numbers. Beyond
the headline. The other thing I would note is there's
a whole category of knockoff effects that are happening throughout
because of other policy decisions or other indicators that might
not be directly connected to this job's data that comes
(20:27):
out every month, but are also signs of trouble, and
that would include things like layoffs. You know, Microsoft, for example,
just announced that they're going to have another they I
think this is their third round of layoffs over the
last few months. This latest round nine thousand people that
are going to be laid off.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Microsoft.
Speaker 16 (20:44):
A lot of the tech companies have done layoffs and
we're starting to see you know, more of this not
just in tech, but also in other industries as well.
That I mean, we don't need to explain that layoffs
are not good and mean less money in people's pockets.
And based on some of those other factors you're just discussing,
it might be harder for people to bounce back if
there isn't as much private sector hiring going on. And actually,
(21:06):
I think the job cuts were seen among the highest
levels of layoffs job cuts we've seen since the pandemic.
But as we know, the pandemic was a very unique time.
So to be getting anywhere close to starting to match
what was going on during the pandemic could be just
the beginning of the brewing of an economic crisis.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
And of course we see tars.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
You have the chair of the Federal Reserve, Chairman Powell,
who has said that they would have cut rates by
now if don Trump's tears were not going to go
into effect. And again you got Republicans who are sitting
here just crowing and how great and wonderful these things are.
We saw what happened today with this bill that was
(21:52):
passed that's going to be signed to law tomorrow, and
we've already had one hospital in Nebraska. Now they're going
to shut down because of what's happened with Medicaid. And
so while they are cheering in proclaiming things are wonderful,
we are about to have a serious economic problem.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
Yeah, I think that's a great point.
Speaker 16 (22:11):
I mean, the tariffs we talked about that still just
continues to be a huge source of uncertainty. And look,
I mean that connects to why we're not seeing more
job growth in private sector. A lot of private sector
companies are just saying, we can't move in this environment.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
We don't know where things are headed.
Speaker 16 (22:26):
Even if they don't keep all of the tariffs, to
increase in a certain level of tariffs is going to
impact their ability to maybe replace some of their supply
given that we're not seeing the administration pair these terraffs
with domestic investment and diversify the types of suppliers that
are available. And you're absolutely right, role and I mean
this the big bill. I'm not going to use the
(22:46):
term beautiful because I mean it's actually offensive to even
apply that.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Word to what's going on here.
Speaker 16 (22:52):
These are really aggressive cuts that are going to hit
at the heart of not just people's economic lives, but
actually their whole existence and as human beings with some
of the cuts that are happening to healthcare, and that's
going to that's going to have a big impact to.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
Premiums likely to go up.
Speaker 16 (23:10):
We could see further consolidation and the insurance industry. That
is never a good thing for bottom line access to
healthcare and also controlling costs. And then the you know,
the immigrant what are they choosing to fund choosing to
fund ICE to the tune of forty six billion dollars. Well, again,
you can take the humanity point at it, and a
(23:31):
lot of target They said that they're going after people
who are criminals, but I think we all have seen
now that it's gone way beyond that, including picking up
some people who are American citizens and their raids and all.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Of that real chilling effect on workers.
Speaker 16 (23:44):
And then you know, getting to the economic impact workers
wanting to even show up a lot of towns at
this point. You know here in Ohio where I am,
across the country, the immigrant population is the engine of
the economy, and so if we have people, even if
they're still here, they're scared to even leave their homes
because of some of this ICE funding. Well, we're not
going to see the amount of labor that's needed to
(24:05):
keep up some of our food supplying all these things,
and that could have detrimental effects as well and increase
a lot of the costs that we face as consumers
down the line. Will all of this happen right away
the impacts know, But again, it does continue to feel
like we just have this ticking time bomb that it's
not a matter. It's not if we will have some
(24:28):
kind of economic downturn.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
It's when.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
I want to bring in my panel while we're having
this economic discussion.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Let me bring them in right now.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Doctor Nola Haynes, Jorgetown University, School of Foreign Service joining
us from DC. Doctor Greg Card, Department of Bathroom America
studies how University out of DC, Eugene creates CEO X
factor media out of Baltimore.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
The thing here, and I want to start.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
I want to start with I want to start with
the Eugene. We saw what happened today the passing of
this bill. Only two Republicans voted no. Ten Republicans voted no.
They held the vote open for a very long time
in order to procure those two votes. They wanted this
(25:15):
bill to be voted upon in the dead of the night.
But Democrat leader Hakim Jeffery said, Nah, that ain't gonna happen.
Y'all gonna have to sit here and listen to all
of this. I'm gonna place some of that later in
the show. And again they're jumping up a down saying how.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
This is just going to create this.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
New golden era of economics in the United States, but
they are actually putting this economy in peril with their actions.
Speaker 17 (25:51):
Yeah, so I'll say, that's right. I know, if you're
coming a disconnection for a second, yes, that's yeah. You
The thing is this roland they're putting in a comment peril.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Uh.
Speaker 17 (26:02):
The fence here has already said that we would lower
interest rates if not for terrifs. Right, And the one
thing that's definitely gonna come out of this is an
increase in terror, is an increase in the interest rates,
because hey, you know, we're gonna run deficits, We're gona
run debt up, and that that's gonna be monetized. Party
issue that Republicans take advantage of every single time they
get power is that the American public doesn't understand the
(26:22):
relationship between government spending, access and uh, and how that
affects their everyday lives when it comes to things like, hey,
your interest rate that you're gonna pay for your mortgage,
or interest rates that your credit card, or interest rate
that you're gonna pay on on on your on your
car payment, or the lack of interest rate that you're
gonna get on your savings. Right, and how inflation itself
is an invisible interest rate that you may you may
(26:44):
not see on paper to feel every single day.
Speaker 18 (26:47):
And so the austhority.
Speaker 17 (26:48):
That was just passing ins and the heads for presidents
is gonna nothing but hurt the American people. Shout out
the Conress and Massey and cos Chitzpatrick. Uh, you know
it must be noted. You know, Brian comes from a
pure purple district and voted you know.
Speaker 18 (27:02):
His conscious of his constituents.
Speaker 17 (27:04):
That talking about Brian Patrick also of note, that's where
we held our second and final Republicans for Harris rally
in his district. So he comes from a district president
Vice President harrisonon. But you know the rest of the
Republican caucus, shame on them. You know, the numbers from
North Carolina and Georgia and Alabama, there isn't a Republican
(27:25):
member whose constituents is not going to be directly expected
by this, but you know in their eyes, because hey,
a lot of these customers take places twenty six. They
think it's all, you know, fun and dandy, and then
that they can blame the Democrats when they come into effect.
But at the end of the day, you know, they
voted to harm the people that have put them in and.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Of the thing here as as we as we look
at what has happened and Nola, as I said, at
this hospital in Nebraska rural area in the district of
Nebraska Congress and Don Vacon who announced that he was
(28:03):
not going to be seeking reelection, so he didn't owe
Donald Trump anything. So what did he do? He voted
for the bill Already this the hospital leader say, sorry,
Medicaid cuts. There's no way we survived. Those people now
are not going to be able to have health care there.
This is the reality what we're dealing with that is
going to be detrimental to the economy.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
Absolutely.
Speaker 12 (28:27):
And we've seen this pattern before. I remember being home
in New Orleans for the Mardi Gras when COVID was happening.
But the first Trump administration decided to tell Louisiana to
tell New Orleans that it was safe for Maddi grad
to go ahead, and a month and a half later,
four team members of my family died. So we have
(28:49):
a pattern where Trump thinks that if you pretend that
the thing isn't happening, or if you shove it in
a box long enough, you can somehow be delusional enough
and convince other people to be delusional as if the
thing isn't happening. With the jobs report, I'm gonna listen,
(29:10):
something is very fishy here.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
As an academic, I.
Speaker 12 (29:14):
Can tell you across the board there are hiring freezes.
I cannot tell you how many emails Georgetown have sent
talking about we don't know what's going to happen. I
have friends across the country from UCLA, USC, Harvard, you
name it. There are hiring freezes, and there's a lot
of uncertainty, and people are losing their jobs or hours
(29:37):
are being cut back. And I can tell you as
someone who just recently separated from Department of State, where
over three thousand people are on a chopping block for
losing their jobs. Across the federal government, people have lost
their jobs. So something isn't adding up here. Now, one
thing that I did hear about the jobs report is
part of that number. Are then bringing people back on
(29:59):
that doge Fi.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
I don't know if that's true or not.
Speaker 12 (30:02):
But you know, there's so many stories going on about
the jobs report. But I'm telling you from my own experience,
and this isn't you know, and I have the data
sitting in my emails.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Something isn't adding up.
Speaker 12 (30:13):
People have lost their jobs, will continue to lose their jobs,
but somehow we're adding jobs to education and to the
federal government. Something is fishy to.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
That particular point, Morgan.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I mean, look, we know I put nothing past this administration. Now, Normally,
what happens when job numbers are revised up or down,
that's based upon when new data comes in. And we've
seen that happen before and so earlier when you said
we've seen it before where there's a discrepancy between ADP
(30:53):
and the Bureau label statistic numbers, Well, how does that happen?
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Why does that happen? Just give us just give us
an understanding.
Speaker 16 (31:00):
Yeah, And I mean I might need to get even
more information on that, but I agree with the main
point that we don't know what we don't know, and
when we look at what Congress could be doin I
do think that this is something worth inquiry. I mean,
you know, in addition to trying to speak out about
the bill, it's like this is the time to be
demanding specific investigations. That is another tool that Congress has
(31:22):
to be able to have them show their work right.
But I mean based on and again I want to
I want to see some of the sources that you're
referencing role in, but based on what we know on
the data that's available, I don't know that there's evidence
of cooking the books, but I completely agree with all
the trends that we're seeing.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
There have been a lot of job losses.
Speaker 16 (31:42):
And if there's something going on with what data is
actually being released to the public and it's not in
its accuracy, then we need to be ringing the alarm
on that really quickly. But at the end of the day,
here's another thing that we should probably all be focused
on doing is showing the impacts already that are being felt.
And I think we're and I think we're seeing that.
You know, food banks are already having a hard time
(32:02):
keeping up with demand, and they know that they're not
going to be able to continue to get the same
level of resources that they've received before. Roland, you were referencing,
you know, the rural hospital that's announced that they're going
to close. I mean, there are a lot of institutions
across the country that rely almost exclusively, not majority, on
Medicaid patients. And knowing that those resources aren't going to
be available, so uplifting those stories, telling the what the
(32:25):
impacts are and how it doesn't necessarily jive with the
official picture that's being presented by the government data. Again,
whether true or completely accurate or not, I think it's
going to be very very important as quickly as we can.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
You know, Greg, what's really interesting here, really interesting here.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
When you talk about this particular deal.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Republicans put a lot of this stuff, a lot of
this stuff hit in twenty twenty seven, after the twenty
twenty six bit terms to Morgan's point right here, But
we know the immediate thing's going this For everybody who's
been saying with the Democrats they're flailing, they have no
(33:14):
message real as they do now have one. They now
have something where they can say what we are for
and what the people are against. Baseb on what they've
already done, and we hurt that in Leader Jeffrey's speech,
and I'm gonna unpack it a little bit further and.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
We actually run that. But people have to understand.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
You know, Trump has already said, hey, I've got more
I've got more power. He controls the Republicans with an
iron fist. But this is a moment where Democrats are
going to have to be.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Nearly every day.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Who this hurts, who gets impacted, and every time a hospital,
a nursing home shuts down. They should pen that on
Donald Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson, and every single Republican that
voted for this bill.
Speaker 13 (34:13):
They absolutely should roman The response from the white nationalists
will be they're eating the dogs. In other words, this
is not logic. Never underestimate the power of white supremacy.
As johnie Erst, Senator said, everybody dies. They would rather
die than save their own lives if it means then
(34:35):
somebody else gets in health care. And so, yes, the
Democrats do have a message. And yes, Leader Jeffrey spoke
for an impassion almost nine hours today. Yes he broke
a record. And then they voted the way they were
going to vote anyway. I don't give any credit to Fitzpatrick.
Thomas Massey, who built his house with his own hands,
is always gonna do what he's gonna do.
Speaker 18 (34:53):
He ain't scared of them.
Speaker 13 (34:54):
Fitzpatrick, after voting to advance the voting to advanced legislation,
left the House floor in the middle of the night
while he know he's not gonna win reelection. You need
to roll over these white nationalists like to see Morgan
Hill as an economist. I really wonder if what your
thoughts are at the macroeconomic level about the United States.
Speaker 18 (35:14):
Thomas flat Earth Freedman rode in Today's New York.
Speaker 13 (35:19):
Times as this bill passed, He said, can you hear
it that loud roar coming from the east. It's the
sound of one point four billion Chinese laughing at us,
because in that bill they're trying to revert to coal
and all that at the same time that the world
is moving forward with electric, with solar, with wind, and so,
what do you think about the jobs of the future,
(35:41):
the US economy in the future. As countries all over
the world Brazilian Mexico met this week, the EU trying
to work it out with England. What are looking for
workarounds Canada talking about it might be an energy superpower
in the near future. As the world begins to work
around the United States of America, what do you think
is on the horizon as Musks electric vehicles crater in sales,
(36:05):
if you're going to dubaid, you go to Malaysia, what's
on the streets byd the Chinese car? I mean, what
does the future of the American economy and the American
work look like in the pat with the passage of
this bill.
Speaker 16 (36:19):
I can't say that anyone thinks the future is looking
strong based on what's coming.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Out of this bill.
Speaker 5 (36:23):
And there's a lot of a lot of uncertainty.
Speaker 16 (36:26):
I mean, you know, even like I referenced earlier that
we're seeing tech companies announce all these layoffs, a lot
of them they're saying are the result of AI and
it's just kind of, you know, the natural evolution of
how things have to go based on how technology is developing.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
No.
Speaker 16 (36:43):
I mean, that's been a fundamental problem in our country
for a while, at least a few decades that we're
just kind of taking a lot of these companies out
their word or letting them set the terms, and so
we are in a situation of having kind of like
private governments with these very large companies that now have
been able to off the government, and then it's kind
of game over. So that's a dynamic at play. I
(37:04):
think also, you know, just this level of like whiplash
in policy making. I mean, you can't plan a society
for the future if you're disinvesting in education, if you
don't have people that are healthy, and so there's really
no way to look at what's coming out of this
bill and think, oh, great, this is really setting us
(37:27):
up very well to be competitive globally.
Speaker 5 (37:30):
And I agree with you.
Speaker 16 (37:31):
I mean, I think a lot of other parts of
the world are starting to discount how much leadership they'll
see out of the United States for the foreseeable future.
And you know, there's still potentially time to change course,
but maybe not a lot of time, because with these
types of cuts, with this lack of investment, with this
lack of a plan, with this level of corruption, it
might not be that easy to flip the switch, even
(37:53):
if we do see a change in power in the
new administration in a few years or a change in
the dynamics and the Congress.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
It's the perfect example I'm sitting here political has this
story right here is his conservatives say Trump won their
megabill votes by promising crack down on renewable energy credits.
Texas congers and Ship Roy said, quote, we believe we're
going to get ninety plus percent of all future projects.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Terminated, you know, Morgan.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
To the point that Greg, we're just stating is simple,
Where in the hell do you think the building is
coming from? Where in the hell do you think the
new jobs occurred? That's why, that's why the trade union,
that's why the electrical workers. We're posing this saying, do
you go, are you guys stupid? You've got a company
(38:46):
that were announcing four and five hundred million dollar expansion projects.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
We sit here complaining about.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
The Chinese dominating America created the solar energy. Solar panels
are an American invention and they're just like you know, China.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
Y'all going right ahead?
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
I saw story earlier that said, let me see, I
want to double check.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
I think it was in Norway new car I think
was in I think I said that of all new
cars in Norway were electric vehicles. And yeah, right here
in Norway of new cars sold in twenty twenty four
(39:35):
were fully electric, with the country aiming for all new
cars sold by twenty twenty five to be zero emission.
Now his was hilarious, Morgan. These right wingers go, oh,
electric vehicles, man, that that's hurting the power grid.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
What's sucking up the power grid? These AI plans, the data,
so the data centers. So for people to.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
Sit here and for these Republicans to say, oh, we
should stop, like forget all the electric vehicle stuff. I'm like,
y'all are on crack and the crack you're on our
fossil fuels.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
The reality, I mean, the real I mean you know,
I've got.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
General Motors is delivering on Monday to me, to me
an electric vehicle.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
We have to understand that this is real. Simple. You
have to recognize where the future is.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
This Bill and Republicans, Morgan, they only think and operate
in the now. They don't give a damn about the
next ten to twenty thirty years. And yeah, we're going
to be in for a serious issue. If the rest
of the world says, okay, America, we know you are
the largest economy in the world of twenty nine to
(40:56):
twllion dollars. We don't have to actually do stuff with you.
If we partner with one another, we can bypass you.
And that's going to be happening a whole lot over
the next three years.
Speaker 16 (41:10):
Yeah, I think a couple of comments. I mean, one
the big tech data center situation. It absolutely impacts electricity.
I mean, they're cutting these deals, they're going to raise
electricity prices, but trying to spread the cost of that
across all of us in individual rate payers, not just themselves,
and that is a huge problem, and going to increase
costs for people. And also water on the data centers
(41:33):
extract a lot of water and that's another part of
the utility story that isn't always talked about.
Speaker 5 (41:40):
But increase water bills for.
Speaker 16 (41:42):
People getting shut off, not having access to basic services.
Does that sound like a modern country to any of us?
Speaker 18 (41:49):
I don't think so.
Speaker 16 (41:51):
And so again, beyond the economic perspective, it's just like
the real inhumanity of what they're doing is really tough
to It's tough to fully portray just the risks creating
for a lot of Americans at all income levels. It's like,
even if you feel like you're pretty good now, these
are just going to continue to have ripple effects that
I think will hit a lot.
Speaker 5 (42:11):
Of different economic classes.
Speaker 16 (42:14):
And yeah, I mean it's very easy now for I
mean it it'll be an adjustment even for some of
these countries to want to coordinate amongst themselves, but the
incentive to do so is very easy to calculate. You
cannot rely on the United States, I mean, not having
people feel comfortable coming here to do research. And that's
always been one of the top benefits of coming to
(42:34):
the US. You know, having international people that either come
and gain knowledge and have a great depression of the
US and go back wherever they're from, or come and
love the education they got here and invest in starting
businesses and hiring people. We're going to lose that investing
in research and to create innovation. Even within the government.
A lot of the private sector is just not incentivized
(42:56):
to have the resources to do that, you know, frontloading
of research and development to create the next break next
healthcare breakthrough, or some kind.
Speaker 5 (43:06):
Of new technology. But why do we have the Internet now.
Speaker 16 (43:08):
It's because there was government investment along the way that
allowed engineers and scientists to be able to invest in
that learning and understanding that technology. The private sector is
never going to do that in the same way. And
so yeah, this is potentially setting us back for a
long long time. And it's just a clear corporate giveaway,
(43:29):
even things that don't seem like their big corporate giveaways.
Going back to the immigration issue, you know what is
a lot of this funding going to go towards detention centers,
detention centers who owns detention centers, the same people that
are operating prisons. And this is not actually investing in
any communities, And it's just a complete giveaway to folks
that already have a lot and are only going to
(43:51):
get more.
Speaker 1 (43:54):
To that particular point, Nola, that people have to recognize
when you start having countries begin to align and work
together economically, then that has an impact also military that
impacts foreign policy. And so people need to understand that
(44:19):
they may look at this bill and look at the
actions of these Republicans only through the terms of America's interest,
but the world is watching what happened today. They'll be
watching when this bill is signed tomorrow. They will see
how they will see how Donald Trump has shown that
(44:39):
the Republican Party is utterly effeckless. They are unwilling to
hold him accountable. They're allowing him to do whatever it
is they want to do. So the world is watching
and seeing that there literally are no Republican guard rails
to stop a mad man from doing whatever it is
(45:01):
that he wants to do, and they are going to
respond and it's not going to be the way that
we think it always has been with our so called allies.
Speaker 12 (45:13):
Absolutely, you know, the world is watching. And in many
countries around the world they have great healthcare. You know,
I've been sick multiple times in different countries and left
those hospitals with not having to pay a bill as
a non citizen. And here we are stripping very vulnerable
people of their health care. And to your point, Roland,
(45:36):
I'm glad that you kind of drew the intersection between
what happened today with that bill and also with our insecurity.
What's very clear to me is is that this administration
is not interested in being the leader of anything other
than in defense, right and we saw an example of
that when they bomb the three nuclear facilities in Iran.
Speaker 18 (45:59):
The next day.
Speaker 12 (46:00):
A Hegseth said, deterrence is back. So that tells me
as a professional, as a security and defense professional. Oh okay,
So we're doing away with diplomacy. We said screw you
to our allies and our partners, and we think that
having the biggest, baddest military, which we already do, but
(46:22):
to have it even bigger and even bader, then that's
going to be the answer to everything. That we are
going to scare people into some sort of submission versus
wanting to do the things to lead in climate, to
lead in energy, to lead in human rights. We have
(46:43):
completely walked away from all of our values in favor
of deterrence.
Speaker 5 (46:49):
So what that is going to do. That's going to.
Speaker 12 (46:51):
Increase in arms race around the world. And there's already
evidence of this happening, you know in space, where I
spend most of my day in space security. We are
going to see a huge build up arms race in space,
and that's also going to happen.
Speaker 5 (47:07):
Here on Earth.
Speaker 12 (47:08):
So all of these things they snowball, right. So okay,
so we can't trust the United States, we can't partner
with them.
Speaker 5 (47:15):
They're no longer our allies.
Speaker 12 (47:16):
Therefore, now we have to think about defense and offense
in a way that you know in cert country hadn't
thought about before. Look at what this administration did with Ukraine.
They completely sidestep Congress and refuse to send Ukraine the
weapons that was already allocated to send to Ukraine. We
are beyond the pale here. No one can trust us.
(47:38):
Who's going to want to do business with us? And
the last thing I will say is the one thing
that this administration has done, as it's done many things
in its six months, it has now positioned China to
be the number one superpower in the world. Yes, I said,
and I'm gonna tell you why. Because they understand the gap,
the diplomacy gap that we've left. They are absolutely stepping
(48:01):
into that gap.
Speaker 3 (48:02):
Now.
Speaker 12 (48:03):
They may have, you know, their own in you know,
their end goals in mind, every country does, but Donald
Trump has seeded all around to China.
Speaker 19 (48:11):
I said, what I said, Yeah, yeah, Well, Eugene, there
these are first of all, I'm right here.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
You don't, uh, Eugene, Eugene, They're they're far reaching implications.
Speaker 3 (48:30):
And I just want people to understand that the economic peace.
Speaker 1 (48:36):
We're talking about, uh goes directly in line with military,
with national security, all of those different things. And the
world is recognizing the world seeds how shameful and dangerous,
how much of a liar. This man is they forced
Zelenski to sign a mineral rights deal and now they're
(48:58):
denying even weapons, and the whole point of the deal
was to continue to supply weapons. The world will not
be trusted in the United States. The world will not
believe things that we did say economically, and folks had
better understand and be prepared for that for that to happen.
Speaker 18 (49:20):
And look, you're responding, you know, very strongly.
Speaker 17 (49:24):
You know, they've decided that, hey, instead of relying on
the American military industrial complex that applies with bombs and
planes and ships and everything else, the EU said, look,
you know, we're gonna go to ourselves a bigger army,
a better army, and we're also going to produce our
own weapons. You know, that's going to have a direct
economic impact on American jobs here.
Speaker 1 (49:46):
Uh.
Speaker 17 (49:46):
You know, one of the things that's often explained nowadays
is you know a lot of the aid that goes
to Ukraine or goes to you know, any conflict that
we decided to support on one side or the other,
is that you know, that's not necessarily money being dropped
and to those countries is hey, you know, the United
States dependagon essentially buying resources from American companies that are
(50:08):
then supplying them to these regions.
Speaker 18 (50:10):
In the world, you know, resident Usprain or you know,
Conflict Africa or wherever that's going to. You know, so
when you're you know, you're in other.
Speaker 17 (50:18):
Countries, Europe, in other affiliate countries are deciding that they're
going to produce their own rather than purchase from US.
That's going to have a direct effect on American jobs,
on on American you know, military producers, book that make
bombs from them, bullets, and I think everything else in between.
And it's a direct reflection. It's the direct reflection of
(50:39):
Donald Trump being in office. It's the direct reflection of
the lack of leadership coming out of the current American presidency.
And it's the direct reflection of the rest of the
world having to stand up and standing again in real time.
You know, I actually thought, you know, when Sparks, when
represented Sparks voted begins to rule last night, I actually
thought her vote was going to hold because hey, you know,
(50:59):
her soul issue is Ukraine and they're cutting and they're
they're cutting the front they're cutting from the Ukraine while
at the same time, you know, playing games with the
weapons after forces de LINSI the signed the minerals till
I thought that she was gonna hold You know, I.
Speaker 18 (51:11):
Was wrong, I guess say at the then Donald Tumkins,
what you want.
Speaker 3 (51:18):
Morgan, this thing is real.
Speaker 1 (51:19):
Uh. And again, folks just need to understand what we're
gonna be facing, and so we will be. It's a
lot we're gonna be unpacking once this bill gets signed.
And then we start seeing the absolutely uh. And and
I'll say this, and they're not being hyperbocly. Uh. This
bill is going to drop an economic nuclear bomb on America,
(51:41):
especially rule America.
Speaker 3 (51:44):
And be prepared for the orange and white tears to.
Speaker 1 (51:48):
Be flowing because they're gonna be looking like a bunch
of those Latinos who are Latinos for Trump and saying.
Speaker 3 (51:56):
I didn't think he was talking about me. Morgan Harper,
we appreciate.
Speaker 5 (52:01):
It, thanks a lot, thanks for hatting me Ryllan.
Speaker 3 (52:03):
Folks, Folks going to a break, we come back, we're
going to talk about case out of North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (52:09):
Plus we'll play some of Leader Hakien Jeffrey's speech and
break it down.
Speaker 3 (52:14):
I really believe.
Speaker 1 (52:17):
That that speech more that eight hour and forty four
minute twenty five spect second speech literally is the blueprint
the Democrats to regain the House next year. We'll explain Folks,

Speaker 13 (53:10):
Next on the Black Table with me, Greg car The
enigma of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Times What really makes
him tick and what forces shaped his view of the world,
the country, and Black America. The answer, I'm pretty sure
will shock.
Speaker 20 (53:26):
You, As he says, you know, people think that I'm
anachronistic I am. I want to go backwards in time
in order to move us forward into the future. He's
very upfront about this.
Speaker 13 (53:36):
We'll talk to Corey Robbin, the man who wrote the
book that reveals it all. That's next on the Black Table,
only on the Black Star Network.
Speaker 21 (53:47):
This week.
Speaker 2 (53:48):
On the other side of change, in.
Speaker 8 (53:49):
Mass incarceration, Trump administration is doubling down criminalization and how
it is profitable.
Speaker 5 (53:55):
And there's something really.
Speaker 9 (53:56):
Really perverse about saying that we need to put people
in cages. Wonder for other people to have jobs like
that is not how our economy should we go.
Speaker 5 (54:04):
Only on the other side of Change on the Blackstar Network.
Speaker 3 (54:11):
Hi, everybody, I'm Kim Cole.
Speaker 14 (54:12):
Hey, I'm Dottie Simpson, j Shaman Dion Cole from blacks
and you.
Speaker 3 (54:15):
Watch Rowland Mine. I'm filtered, all.
Speaker 1 (54:26):
Right, falls, Welcome back to Roland Martin. I'n filtered here
on the Black Star Network. You know what we There
are so many different cases that we cover on this
show that sometimes just lead you perplexed and you're like,
what the hell is going on? Well, this story out
of North Carolina is one of those. Tourny Harry Daniels
(54:50):
is representing the system in this and it's sort of strange,
if you will, what transpire.
Speaker 3 (54:59):
Here, And so let me walk you through this story. Okay,
Tamda Parker was wrongfully arrested.
Speaker 1 (55:09):
Okay, Now she loses everything, being falsely accused of a crime,
no criminal record, She spends months trying to clear her name,
loses her job, loses her home after police claim she
matched the description of a suspect and the description was
(55:33):
a black woman. Now Charles has been dropped against her.
Her monk shot though online.
Speaker 3 (55:42):
People can pull it up.
Speaker 1 (55:43):
It's everywhere, and so imagine now you're trying to have
to rebuild your life, taving her attorney hair Daniel jonesus
right now, glad to have both of you on the show.
Speaker 3 (55:54):
This So what what the hell? First of all, what
if they accuse you of doing and what was the description?
Speaker 1 (56:03):
And was that person actually ever apprehended and they in
any way resemble you?
Speaker 4 (56:11):
I have no idea.
Speaker 22 (56:12):
So what they said happened when someone took someone's credit
card information about two Apple iPhones and sent them to
an advanced out of part store.
Speaker 18 (56:22):
I had no idea, you.
Speaker 22 (56:24):
Know what was going on. I don't think that they
ever got a suspect. I'm not too sure, but not
to my knowledge, I think.
Speaker 3 (56:31):
I so, how do they how do they get around
to you?
Speaker 2 (56:36):
Like?
Speaker 14 (56:36):
What like what what hap?
Speaker 3 (56:37):
I mean, like what happened?
Speaker 22 (56:41):
So I went into the store, the Advanced out of
Part store. I went in on May the sixteenth of
last year. I was looking for a part. I actually
had the part in my hand, and they didn't have it.
I got assistance from the store associate. And then a
little over a week later, the police came to my
house and had search for Rance, had searched my home.
(57:02):
I had no idea why they were, you know, there,
But that was the only time I ever went into
that store.
Speaker 1 (57:09):
So the first time you ever go to his autopart store,
you looking for a part. Then all of a sudden,
a week later, they're showing up at your house. And
when they show up at your house, what do they say?
Speaker 22 (57:23):
I let them in because there was something that happened
in my daughter school earlier that week.
Speaker 2 (57:27):
So I just thought a teacher was arrested.
Speaker 22 (57:30):
So I started thinking about that, Like, I thought they
were coming in my house to tell me something.
Speaker 21 (57:34):
Happened to my child.
Speaker 22 (57:36):
So I let them inside to like see what they
had to say, and the guy just started like yelling
like I just want to know if this is a
one time thing or if you're a part of a ring.
And I had no idea what he was talking about,
so then he just kind of start going off. So
then he told me, like what happened? Well, he said, first,
did you go into an advance at off part store?
And I said yes, I went there last Thursday to
(57:59):
look for a part and I had to part with me.
Speaker 7 (58:02):
So that's what he told me.
Speaker 5 (58:03):
That's when he told me what I was accused of.
And at first I.
Speaker 22 (58:07):
Thought it was a joke because who would do something
like that. That was like the craziest thing I've ever
heard of. So then like I opened up my wallet,
I'm like, hey, you can look and see. Like I
don't have anyone's information, Like I own my home, I
have like a good credit score.
Speaker 21 (58:23):
Equity stuff from my home.
Speaker 3 (58:24):
I had reason to do something like this.
Speaker 4 (58:27):
This is like the most ridiculous thing.
Speaker 2 (58:30):
But yeah, he was very aggressive.
Speaker 3 (58:36):
That is so Harry.
Speaker 1 (58:38):
What's crazy to me is if you're the store, you
have surveillance video. If she didn't like, the video should
show if a card was taken used or whatever the heck, Like,
what the hell is this?
Speaker 23 (58:54):
Thanks Roland for having so Roland, first of all, you know,
we do a lot of cases, a lot of cases.
You were dealing with serious injury, death related law enforcement.
But this was a case that we could not pass
up based on the extraordinary and a disbelief of what
happened to this this Tamarra no surveillance cameras, no outside
(59:15):
cameras or surveillance cameras in the store an advanced auto
park in Dallas, North Carolina. She simply went into the
store May sixteenth to pick up a part for her husband.
She went to advanced part next the next door. They
didn't have the party either. What transpired was that, like
she said, somebody sent these falls to the store. And
(59:36):
subsequently one of the sales associates at the store said
that the person had came back in the store after
police went to the store to pick up the phones
and came back into the store and they took a
picture of the person's license plate. Well, that day was
May twentieth, on Tamara was nowhere around their store. In fact,
(59:57):
she was at our kids can pre k graduation, her
other kids graduation Elementary school graduation, out with family, nowhere
near the store, and law enforcement knew it because when
they took the phones and she.
Speaker 21 (01:00:11):
Freely gave the pass code to the phones.
Speaker 23 (01:00:14):
Once they had the search warrant and they did forensics
on the phones a rolling and at the forensics they
found that she was not at the store on the
date that that sales associate. Unless that she was there,
they knew that she did not commit this crime. Nevertheless,
they pursued it. They got a warrant for her arrest.
Speaker 21 (01:00:32):
She was arrested. She lost everything, a job, great.
Speaker 23 (01:00:38):
Job, her good reputation, mugshot, her home is now for
a closure for sale, she's multiple months several months behind,
and she's currently under the care of a doctor. You
know this this is and she's unemployable at the time
because she was an insurance agent.
Speaker 21 (01:00:55):
And nobody wants to.
Speaker 23 (01:00:56):
Hire anybody who's been accused of stealing identity, fraud or
did especially when you have public trust and you deal
with a public identity on a day, day our basis,
day and day our basis. But these one of the
cases that law enforcement overzealous law enforcement a clerk that
we will get to the bottom of what happened here
because she clearly gave false information to the police that
(01:01:20):
the miss Parker was in the story she was not.
We're gonna find out where they come from, and not
just that law enforcement completely.
Speaker 21 (01:01:27):
Ignoring innocence, exculpatory evidence, and.
Speaker 23 (01:01:31):
Pushing forced agenda that left this family upside down literally
with finances and in a place that anybody could have
been in, especially the Parkers family, where she was a
law body citizen, hardworking tax payer, no criminal record, making
money on her own home, equity savings accounts, good credit,
(01:01:55):
and all of a sudden, all that was taken from
her as a blink of an eye. So we got
a lot of worthy we don't pursuit this case, and
we're gonna make sure we get some justice from this Parking.
Speaker 3 (01:02:07):
Cameron, how long did you spend in jail?
Speaker 22 (01:02:12):
It was only a few hours on paper it said
like fifteen minutes. When I went in, of course, I
was talking like, hey, you guys have the wrong person,
and they were just like, well, this is detective.
Speaker 21 (01:02:23):
He doesn't make mistakes.
Speaker 22 (01:02:24):
He's the best, and he wouldn't be doing this unless
he has solid evidence, and.
Speaker 7 (01:02:28):
I'm like he doesn't. So when they took me in.
Speaker 22 (01:02:31):
I just kept saying, like, you guys have the wrong person,
but they did like the intake. I went and talked
to the magister, and the magister said I can leave,
like gave me the paperwork, you know, said he'd unsecure vond.
He even made a joke like this, Parker, do you
have a ticket or any speeding tickets? And I'm like
when I was like nineteen or twenty, and so he
basically told me I was leaving.
Speaker 2 (01:02:52):
I didn't leave.
Speaker 22 (01:02:53):
They put me in a hold and see after the
magistrate unsecure in my bond and told me I could leave.
Speaker 23 (01:02:59):
Yeah, this is and the evidence and what I just
told you and in the facts of this case. It's
not speculative. This is what is in the discovery, the
criminal discovery. I'm not making it up. This is what
the DA had And once a DA reviewed this discovery
and a lot of times DA don't review discovers until
you're an indicted case. Here immediately dismissed this case with
(01:03:20):
insufficient evidence, dismissed it. We have the dismissal, we have
the evidence to show and we look forward to pursuing
this case. And this this just goes to show that
even when you're doing right, when you're doing good, you're
doing everything good, you're not breaking the law. You've been
law bidy citizen, and sometimes it's being black in America
is the only the only crime you committed. And this woman,
(01:03:41):
her family has dine nothing wrong and they are in
a position where they.
Speaker 21 (01:03:45):
Need help obviously, and we're here to help them and
get some redress for.
Speaker 1 (01:03:51):
All. Right, then what's really We hope you were able
to do that, because again, this is the last thing.
Speaker 3 (01:03:58):
A lot of people would ever want want to have
to deal with. Thanks a lot, take it a rule,
Thank you, folks.
Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
We come back, will show you some of the speech,
the record setting speech of House Democratic Leader Hakim Jeffries
that took place this morning.
Speaker 3 (01:04:17):
We ares of the morning leading into almost midday.
Speaker 1 (01:04:21):
We'll show you that, but also unpacked how I truly
believe that he laid out the blueprint for Democrats taking
back the House in twenty twenty six, and will show
you that and explain.
Speaker 3 (01:04:34):
Next right here on Roland Martin, Unfilchered and the Black
sil Network.
Speaker 13 (01:04:40):
Next on the Black Table with me Greg Carr, the
enigma of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Times. What really makes
him tick and what forces shaped his view of the world,
the country, and Black America. The answer, I'm pretty sure
will shock you, as he.
Speaker 20 (01:04:56):
Says, you know, people think that I'm anachronistic.
Speaker 8 (01:04:58):
I am.
Speaker 20 (01:04:59):
I want to go back points in time in owner
to move us forward into the future. He's very upfront
about this.
Speaker 13 (01:05:05):
We'll talk to Corey Robbin, the man who wrote the
book that reveals it all. That's next on the Black Table,
only on the Black Star Network.
Speaker 10 (01:05:17):
The next Get Wealthy with Me Deborah Owen's America's Wealth Coach.
Less than five percent of the top executive positions in.
Speaker 4 (01:05:26):
Corporate America are held by women of color. We know
it's not because of talent.
Speaker 10 (01:05:33):
A recent study says that it's micro questions, unconscious biased
and limited opportunities being offered to women of color. On
our next show, we're going to get incredible advice from
Francine Parham, who's recently written a book sharing exactly what
(01:05:54):
you need to do to make it up into the
management ranks and get the earnings that you deserve.
Speaker 11 (01:06:01):
I made a point to sit down, and I made
a point to talk to people, and I made a
point to be very purposeful and thought provoking when I
spoke to them.
Speaker 4 (01:06:11):
That's right here on Get Wealthy only on Black Star Network.
Speaker 9 (01:06:18):
Hello, I'm a Risin Mitchell, a news anger at past
five DC.
Speaker 24 (01:06:21):
Hey, what's up with Sammy Roman?
Speaker 5 (01:06:23):
And you are watching Roland Martin unfiltered.
Speaker 3 (01:06:34):
Folks, before we play the some.
Speaker 1 (01:06:36):
Of the speech you speaker, excuse me, Democrat leader Hockeing Jeffries.
This is the GoFundMe page for Tamra Parker if you
are interested in donating. And she tried to put her
life back together, and so this is it right here.
So far less than fourteen hundred dollars has been raised.
And so again you see it right here. And so
go to GoFundMe, type in her name or type in
(01:06:57):
wrongfully accused, trying to rebuild my life and there you go.
Speaker 3 (01:07:02):
All right, folks.
Speaker 1 (01:07:04):
A record set his speech from Democrat leader Hakuin Jeffries
speaking against Donald Trump's so called big beautiful bill, which
is really a big, ugly, dangerous bill. Jeffries broke the
record set in twenty twenty one by by then Minari
leader Kevin McCarthy, which was eight hours and thirty two minutes.
He spoke today for eight hours forty four minutes of
(01:07:24):
twenty five seconds.
Speaker 3 (01:07:26):
Here is some of what he had to say, but.
Speaker 24 (01:07:29):
The aspirational part of the Declaration of Independence, of course
that is often famously quoted. But then if you read
other parts of the Declaration of Independence, straordinarily written document,
(01:07:52):
it lists. It reads like an indictment.
Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
Against the.
Speaker 24 (01:08:01):
Extremism of the king. It reads like an indictment against
the kings. I think of King George. It reads like
an indictment against King George's flood to own strategy.
Speaker 7 (01:08:24):
Now it reads like.
Speaker 24 (01:08:27):
An indictment against King George's shock and all strategy. It
reads like an indictment against what I think may have
been called Project seventeen seventy five, which is what brought
(01:08:50):
us to Project seventeen seventy six. And you look at
this indictment, and one of the things that alludes to
it talks about, it's the notion of the King's effort
(01:09:15):
to stop the assimilation of people from other parts of
the world into the United States of America. So we
understand that from the very beginning of this great country,
there was a recognition, of course, of the importance of
(01:09:38):
immigration to the success and vitality of the United States
of America. And that may be clear, mister speakers, so
there's no misrepresentation, Chius Democrats. We understand the importance the
urgency of securing the border. We believe that our immigration
(01:10:06):
system is broken and that it should be fixed in
a comprehensive and bipartisan way. So many leaders in that effort,
so many big ideas. We're willing to partner in a
bipartisan way. Primela Jaya, Paul Linda Sanchez, Adriano espayat Tom Swansea,
(01:10:30):
so many others. Veronica Ascobar. We want a partner to
fix our broken immigration system in a bipartisan and comprehensive way,
secure our border. But we're also going to make sure
(01:10:50):
we stand up for our nation's heritage, a nation of immigrants,
which continues to this very day. It's an important part
of American exceptionalism. And as far as I can tell,
in my reading of the original document, the writings of
(01:11:17):
the founders of this great country, the framers of the Constitution,
they recognized it from the very beginning. They weren't perfect.
We didn't have a perfect start. But of course, as
the Preamble to the United States Constitutions set forth we
the people in order to form a more perfect union.
(01:11:41):
As a speaker, we've been set on this magical course
or march toward a more perfect union. And immigration journey
has always been an important part of the American journey.
So why it is heartbreaking to see some of the
(01:12:02):
things that are happening in the country right now, the
targeting in such an extraordinary way of law abiding immigrant families,
(01:12:23):
including American citizens. How can this be in the United
States of America. Some people might suggest that we should
stay away from these stories. No, I'm going to lean
into this part of the American journey because we support
(01:12:48):
our heritage as a nation of immigrants, and we're going
to stand up for dreamers, stand up for farm workers,
stand up for law abiding immigrant families. All across this country,
US citizen children have been deported. Mister speaker, is this
(01:13:12):
who we become in the United States of America?
Speaker 2 (01:13:19):
How can this be?
Speaker 24 (01:13:22):
This is extraordinary. Two year old American named Manu Borgos
Santos was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in September of
(01:13:49):
twenty twenty two. February, she was taken into custody in
Florida alongside her mother and father, both of whom we're undocumented.
(01:14:09):
And as a result of this situation, well.
Speaker 3 (01:14:12):
Set up.
Speaker 24 (01:14:16):
With Project seventeen seventy five, and so they implemented Projects
seventeen seventy six set up. So I know that there
are people concerned for what's happening in America, but understand
what our journey teaches us is that after Project twenty
(01:14:38):
twenty five comes Project twenty twenty six, and you will
have an opportunity to end this national nightmare. As part
of Project twenty twenty six.
Speaker 21 (01:14:57):
I love the framers.
Speaker 24 (01:15:00):
They gave us a blueprint.
Speaker 1 (01:15:04):
For what.
Speaker 3 (01:15:08):
For what should give us hope.
Speaker 24 (01:15:13):
In this moment. I think that I want to close
by referencing someone, someone who we all serve with. I want,
I want to stand on the shoulders that's the second quarter,
(01:15:35):
if it's okay, on some of our civil rights heroes
and foot soldiers. Yes, yes, those who whose character, whose conviction,
whose courage should give the American people hope at a
(01:15:56):
moment of great despair. Any of us had the great
honor of serving with Congressman John Lewis the great honor.
(01:16:19):
You're Trump, but to speaker, to serve with Congressman John Lewis,
and it came across something that John Lewis said in
June of twenty twenty eight. And hopefully, no matter what
the outcome of this vote will give people some hope.
(01:16:44):
Great John Lewis said, do not get lost in a
sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is
not the struggle of a day, a week, a month,
or year. It is the struggle of a lifetime. That's
(01:17:09):
our struggle. No matter what, mister speaker, you decide to
do today, that's our struggle. Standing on the shoulders of
John Lewis.
Speaker 2 (01:17:21):
That's our struggle.
Speaker 24 (01:17:24):
Never ever be afraid to make some noise and get
into good trouble, good trouble, good trouble, necessary trouble, standing
on the shoulders of giants. John Lewis would often talk
(01:17:45):
to us about his admiration for doctor Martin Luther King Jr.
Doctor King, who would refer to John Lewis as the
boy from Troy. That what's interesting to me that civil
(01:18:06):
rights movement we can learn a lot from It started
December of nineteen fifty five and Rosa Parks sat down
on that bus so that all of us could have
(01:18:26):
the courage to stand up.
Speaker 2 (01:18:29):
Wasn't an easy struggle.
Speaker 24 (01:18:32):
All the odds were stacked against these civil rights heroes
and foot soldiers, and during the early days of the
movement a difficult part of the movement, Doctor King, after
they've been targeted, arrested, beaten, harassed by the authorities, he
(01:18:58):
traveled to Brooklyn.
Speaker 2 (01:18:59):
New York, York, Yes clean, and.
Speaker 24 (01:19:05):
Spoke at the Concord Baptist Church, I think it was
in March from nineteen fifty six, and he said to
a group of people of every race, every religion, every
life experience to Concord Baptist Church in Bedford, Syvesant said
(01:19:28):
to them, no matter what the odds, we've got.
Speaker 3 (01:19:33):
To press on.
Speaker 24 (01:19:36):
Press at the King said.
Speaker 7 (01:19:41):
That if you can't.
Speaker 24 (01:19:45):
Fly, run, that's right. If you can't run, walk, if
you can't.
Speaker 3 (01:19:53):
Walk, crawl, but at all times press on and keep
press it.
Speaker 24 (01:20:02):
And so as I take my seat, I just want
to say to the American people, no matter what the
outcome is on this singular day, what the out fight,
We're gonna press on. We're gonna press on. We're gonna
press on. We're gonna press on for our children, press
(01:20:34):
on for our seniors, press on for our veterans. Press
on for our unions, press on for our farmers, press
on for our dreamers. Press on for working class Americans.
Press on for the middle class. Press on for all
who aspire to be part of the middle class. Press
(01:20:54):
On for the poor, press on for the sick, press
on for the afflicted, press on for the least, press
on for the loss, press on for the left behind,
press on for the rule of law, press on for
the American way of life, press on for democracy. We're
going to press on until victory is one. I yelled back,
(01:21:41):
not the power.
Speaker 3 (01:21:46):
I can.
Speaker 2 (01:21:48):
Do?
Speaker 1 (01:21:49):
Why casey I kaya I case awesome loss?
Speaker 15 (01:21:59):
And John listen.
Speaker 3 (01:22:06):
J Danny heads from his brother Javis.
Speaker 15 (01:22:12):
D okay day.
Speaker 13 (01:22:21):
Okay okay le I the hi pay hikay, I.
Speaker 3 (01:22:26):

I can't. I can't. I can't.
Speaker 24 (01:22:37):
I can't.
Speaker 2 (01:22:38):
I can't.
Speaker 24 (01:22:39):
I can't, I can't.
Speaker 3 (01:22:40):
I can't.
Speaker 2 (01:22:44):
From Massachusetts, get a movie.
Speaker 3 (01:22:51):
So let me unpack what happened.
Speaker 1 (01:22:54):
Jeffries did not tell his Democratic caucus that this is
what he was going to do, and that was a
very smart thing. You had some Democrats who were bitching
and moaning, saying, well, he could have given us us
some heads up and where we would have booked multiple flights,
and you know that that would have been nice. Well, no,
because those idiots would have leaked it.
Speaker 3 (01:23:16):
Okay, So let me explain to you why this speech
was so important.
Speaker 1 (01:23:24):
And I see all these people, I see all these old,
really smart people folks all on social media.
Speaker 3 (01:23:30):
That was a waste of time. He was just up
there me, Oh my god, he's horrible.
Speaker 1 (01:23:36):
He's not shown any leadership, all that, all of that talking.
Speaker 3 (01:23:46):
All of that whining, all of that, all that reason
they're wrong, he said, if you listened to this speech,
now the most of it.
Speaker 1 (01:24:03):
What he did was he literally laid out the Democrats'
agenda to retake the House. You heard him say, you
have product twenty twenty five with next year.
Speaker 3 (01:24:19):
That will be Project twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (01:24:21):
Y'all, that literally is the name or what the that's
the name that Democrats should adopt as their battle plan
for next year.
Speaker 3 (01:24:33):
So first of all, you call it.
Speaker 1 (01:24:35):
Project twenty twenty six because the project is to retake
the House.
Speaker 3 (01:24:40):
In twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (01:24:42):
If you listen to the speech, he talked about. He
spent lots of time talking about health care, talking about food,
talking about housing.
Speaker 3 (01:24:56):
Hello, that's the agenda. In fact, I saw a tweet.
Speaker 1 (01:25:05):
And there was a Republican who somebody posted that.
Speaker 3 (01:25:12):
This bill.
Speaker 1 (01:25:15):
Does this for food, does this for education, and does
something else, and this Republican has goes yes exclamation point.
Speaker 3 (01:25:28):
So that Republican is cheering all of those things at
that this bill has done.
Speaker 1 (01:25:37):
You take David Beledale, California, Republican.
Speaker 3 (01:25:43):
Sixty four percent of his.
Speaker 1 (01:25:45):
District relies on Medicaid. Whoever is running against him, that's
all you run on, and you go after that sixty
four See, I don't know what people want.
Speaker 3 (01:26:04):
I saw one woman she sat here and she.
Speaker 1 (01:26:07):
Was talking about, oh my god, this has been awful.
Speaker 3 (01:26:10):
It's this is that.
Speaker 1 (01:26:13):
They have a trifecta, y'all, Republicans, don't they Republicans did
not need any Democratic votes in the House to pass
the bill.
Speaker 3 (01:26:25):
They didn't get any. They used the reconciliation.
Speaker 1 (01:26:29):
Process in the Senate, which only required a simple majority
and not sixty votes, didn't need THEMS.
Speaker 3 (01:26:37):
And obviously Trump sitting in the White House.
Speaker 1 (01:26:41):
So if all these people who kept going should far harder.
Can you please tell me what the hell and I
love when all these people say this, I would really
love to tell me what meme, what graphic, what statement
Jeffrey or any of them could have posted or stated
(01:27:05):
that was going to stop this bill from happening. See,
a lot of the people who are complaining, a lot
of the people who are so upset. A lot of
those folks were the ones who were bitching last year,
who were.
Speaker 3 (01:27:23):
Not focused on turning people out.
Speaker 1 (01:27:25):
One of the reasons the Vice President Kamala Harris lost
is because Democrats didn't turn out. You had all these
disaffected Democrats over the issue of gossip. You had the
young folks who were upset by that. You had folks
who said that Biden was too old. You had folks
who said old, we shouldn't have had Harris, Oh, we
shouldn't be focusing on transgender, we should be focusing on GEI.
Speaker 3 (01:27:46):
And you had Democrats who were just, oh, my god,
it's awful.
Speaker 2 (01:27:49):
These are bad.
Speaker 3 (01:27:51):
Where's that? Where's this?
Speaker 1 (01:27:52):
Yet Republicans got in lined? How do you Republicans passed
this bill? How did they go from losing two seventeen
to two oh seven, holding the vote open and then
converting the holdouts. It's because they fell in line because
(01:28:20):
they said, you can't get everything that you want. We're
going to get this bill right now. See I keep
saying Democrats have a history of snatching.
Speaker 3 (01:28:35):
Defeat for the jaws of victory.
Speaker 1 (01:28:44):
So right now, again, if you listen to what Jeffrey said, House,
Democrats should be absolutely focused and fixated Project twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3 (01:28:58):
Pull up the graphic a D Triple C. I showed
this the other day on the show. They sat here and.
Speaker 1 (01:29:05):
They showed the thirty five districts in play. That means
right now, what Democrats should be doing. They should have
the data and they also do. They should have the
data of every single one of those districts and how
(01:29:26):
many people in those districts depend on Medicaid. What they
should be having is how many people in those districts
depend on snap benefits. What they should be doing is
breaking down every single time a hospital in one of
(01:29:49):
those districts closes down, the Democrats should be holding a
news conference in front of that hospital. Every time a
nursing home in those districts shuts down.
Speaker 3 (01:30:03):
They should be holding They should be holding news conference
in front.
Speaker 1 (01:30:11):
A person says in the chat, I disagree. You don't
adopt your opponent's slogan. You're not adopting this slogan. What
you're doing is you're offering a counter to your opponents.
Y'all pull pull the graphic up. We have a shirt
(01:30:33):
that says, y'all see my shirt.
Speaker 3 (01:30:35):
No, not that graphic.
Speaker 1 (01:30:36):
My shirt says, don't blame it, don't blame me a
black woman. We have a shirt that we're selling and
it says FAFO twenty five project crossed out because that's
exactly what is about to happen. What is about to
happen right now is that rural America is about to
(01:30:56):
be decimated.
Speaker 3 (01:30:59):
You know who that is?
Speaker 1 (01:31:01):
White people, Conservative white people decimated. It's about to happen,
see people, y'all, This is very simple.
Speaker 3 (01:31:14):
All the Democrats have to do is win five seats.
Speaker 1 (01:31:20):
Five Pull that list up again. One of those folks
on that graphic is Don Bacon. Don Bacon announced he's retiring.
Don Bacon represents Omaha, Nebraska. He represents the district where
the hospital announced today they were shutting its doors because
of what happened today.
Speaker 3 (01:31:42):
Would medicaid see I think The.
Speaker 25 (01:31:47):
Problem with some really smart Democrats is that sometime they
two damned smart.
Speaker 3 (01:32:02):
Sometimes they trying to make this thing so all my
god and ah my god, I hate oh this. We
ain't doing this when we ain't doing that. We should
be doing this.
Speaker 1 (01:32:17):
We all no, he is this and Jeffers, no, he
should be doing this here. Then you asked him what specifically, Well,
I don't really know.
Speaker 3 (01:32:25):
I can't really tell you that. That's really not my job.
What tell you talking about then, folks, I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 (01:32:35):
National democrats, and I'm saying this for a reason. This
is where national Democrats should be. Everything is twenty twenty six.
Everything is twenty twenty six. Yes, you're going to defend
your districts, but there are thirty five vulnerable democrats. All
(01:32:58):
you need are five. You win five out up the
thirty five, you control the House. Republicans know it. Donald
Trump's gonna try.
Speaker 3 (01:33:14):
To get everything he could get passed.
Speaker 1 (01:33:19):
Between now and November two thousand, twenty six, cause he
knows what's coming. And I'm telling you folks need to
stop sitting here and complaining. Oh my god, I'm gonna
tell y'all Son right now, you can bring back from
the dead, Sam Rayburn, you could bring back Tom Foley,
(01:33:43):
you can bring back Skip O'Neil, you can bring Nancy,
you can bring Nancy Pelosi back. There's nothing that Nancy
Pelosi could have done to stop this bill, cause they
don't have the power. The way you stop Trump and
(01:34:04):
Maga Republicans is if you seize power. And National Democrats
had better be locked and loaded.
Speaker 3 (01:34:16):
On twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (01:34:20):
Virginia Democrats had better be locked and loaded on maintaining
the House in November, maintaining the Senate in November, and
taking the governor's mansion and taking out that black Maga
lieutenant governor wins some seers. That means span Berger had
(01:34:41):
better stop running this middle of the road milk toast
campaign and she better be talking and speaking to and
energizing black voters who make up twenty percent of the state.
Speaker 3 (01:34:56):
You can not.
Speaker 1 (01:35:00):
Stop someone from doing something, and you cannot advance your
agenda if you do not have the power.
Speaker 3 (01:35:11):
Go to my pan. I want to go to your
first grade.
Speaker 1 (01:35:14):
If people actually stop getting so caught up in theatrics
and oh the person didn't move me.
Speaker 3 (01:35:24):
I wasn't excited.
Speaker 1 (01:35:26):
He really laid out what Democrats stand for and how
to counter Republicans.
Speaker 13 (01:35:33):
Your thoughts, well, brother, with all due respect to Leader Jeffries.
The words of Malcolm X, you're speaking a language they
don't understand.
Speaker 3 (01:35:47):
I thought that it was.
Speaker 18 (01:35:53):
As strong as speeches I've heard Hakeeen Jeffries give.
Speaker 13 (01:35:57):
I think that if we lived in and a nation,
it would be the opening salvo of a project that
could possibly work.
Speaker 18 (01:36:08):
But we don't live in an We live in a
country with a lot of different nations in it.
Speaker 13 (01:36:14):
You've got a president of the United States who is
mentally ill, who was a racist, who called the winner
of the New York Democratic primary in New York for
mayor a communist radical, threatening to support him, and Leader
Jeffrey's understanding that his position is to keep the party together.
(01:36:37):
Defended Mamdanie, but stop short of endorsing him. I wasn't
moved by the speech, and it's not necessary for me
to be moved by the speech, because I know that
in order to advance, we don't have to be moved
by rhetoric. We're going to support whatever and whoever is
(01:36:58):
going to advance the interests of our common humanity.
Speaker 18 (01:37:01):
But I can't help in this moment.
Speaker 13 (01:37:06):
But think about doctor King, not in the immediate wake
of the Montgomery bus boycott, where Leader Jeffrey spoke to
in nineteen fifty six, but in nineteen sixty eight, Doctor
King understood very well where we live and what we
had to do.
Speaker 18 (01:37:27):
And what we have done in this country in terms
of electoral politics.
Speaker 13 (01:37:31):
What we have done is tacked toward that middle year
talking about Roman and the results have been a diminishing
return in terms of black political power since its peak
in the nineteen seventies. I think they're probably more than
a handful of people in listening today and who are
watching today. And I know you remember the battle between
(01:37:52):
Julie and Bond and John Lewis for that congressional seat
coming out of Georgia.
Speaker 18 (01:38:00):
See white noddles terrified, brutal, and they were terrified of
Julian Bond.
Speaker 14 (01:38:05):
Jabo was not so much.
Speaker 13 (01:38:06):
See the idea that you can appeal to the humanity
of a white supremacist.
Speaker 18 (01:38:14):
I understand you.
Speaker 13 (01:38:15):
Got to refer to the founding fathers, and you got
to refer to those criminals, those fleeing fellas that had
your ancestors captive.
Speaker 18 (01:38:21):
I understand.
Speaker 13 (01:38:21):
You gotta say what you gotta say, But I all
end with this. I hope what you said is in
fact what these with the Democratic leadership will do. I
hope that they will overwhelm these white supremacists. I hope
they will not leave the Congressional Progressive Caucus out on
(01:38:42):
a limb. I hope that they will show the same
energy they used to every time somebody showed up the
one to fight with both fists, whether it be Corey
Bush and now Wesley vale Is in the damn legislature,
whether it be Nina Turner and now sign till brown is.
Speaker 14 (01:39:00):
I hope they show that same energy.
Speaker 13 (01:39:03):
When it's time to fight these white supremacists and punch
them in the face. Social media saw one of these
young people called the leader Jeffrey's apax your corps. Listen,
let's be critical clear. Now you gotta fight these people.
So that same energy that was in that speech, we
need to now see it in dollars. We need to
(01:39:25):
see it in an organization, and you need to see
that in solidarity with people who you might not agree
with on everything. But you cannot now turn around and
try to walk that middle of the role because if
they take the House and get and take it by
one vote two votes. Those quote unquote conservative Democrats are
soft white nationals who were then caucused with the Republicans
or at least cast their vote with Republicans. That's when
(01:39:46):
you know that the middle As doctor King said that
Luke one thing the worst enemy we got the white
liberal when we read where do we go from here?
Speaker 14 (01:39:54):
Castle community comes.
Speaker 18 (01:39:55):
Out to play. This is a this is this can
be a turning point.
Speaker 13 (01:40:00):
Let me just stop because I'm not gonna say with
I trusted in that, because we got to do the
right thing either way. But see out in good trouble
and na man, you speak the language, they don't understand.
Speaker 2 (01:40:08):
Brother.
Speaker 1 (01:40:11):
That The thing here, Eugene, when I talk about in
terms of how do you move forward? The thing here
which is critical is that for all of these Democrats
who are mealy mouthed, whining, complaining about Mom Donnie, they're
idiots because what they're not doing is they're not asking
(01:40:33):
the right question, and the right question to ask is
how did he win.
Speaker 3 (01:40:44):
Speak? They're not asked there. They're not asking they're not
asking how did.
Speaker 1 (01:40:50):
He mm run a smart, sophisticated, targeted campaign that spokes
to the spoke to the present day needs of the voters,
that studied those who set out previous elections, that activated them,
(01:41:12):
that peaued their interests, and that turned out. That's why
the bill Ackmans of the world, they can all be
praising Eric Adams and also of stuff like that. I'm
telling you right now, I don't think for us, there's
no doubt. I think he wins the general election because
what the people, what progresses, what Democrats, what people who
(01:41:35):
lean Democrat. What people want is they want to see
somebody who is speaking into them in a way that
is addressing their real life issues. Who is not talking
to them from thirty thousand feet, but who is who
is doing what Joe Madison said, you gotta put it
(01:41:57):
where the ghost can get it.
Speaker 17 (01:42:01):
And look, I hope them because flying good learner lesson right,
because they had opportunity with AOCB Carole and uh and
she got elected right and this near collection is a
much one of the most broader Demo much broader land mass.
But it's one more time another catalyst. Last week we
(01:42:22):
had a discussion, you know, after you interview with Jasmine
Crocket about how you know them leadership should be using
their assets Hocket, Jasmine Crockett or Maxwell Fast right, but
most importantly went back to Speaker jeff I mean well
as well eventual Speaker Jeffrey's speech earlier day. What he
(01:42:44):
was meticulous to do is he called out every single
targetedtwing steat that could be easily won by a shifted
by a couple of points. When he taught me, he
called out a lotta and he called out lawlor I
mean some polk even you know, there's typically an unspoken
role within a delegation that she's done attack within your
(01:43:05):
own delegation.
Speaker 18 (01:43:06):
But he understands that, hey, three of those five swing
seats comes straight out of New.
Speaker 17 (01:43:11):
York, right, And so he called out his own delegation
members put the targets on their back.
Speaker 18 (01:43:18):
You know, he laid out an agenda. I do think
that part of what.
Speaker 17 (01:43:22):
Needs to happen, especially with the outside groups, is that
the conversations have to take the conversation that has to
take place is, hey, look, people set out this last election,
and when people were saying, hey, give me power so
that I can help you, you didn't.
Speaker 18 (01:43:38):
And now you're looking at these people to help you.
You can't make that same mistake in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 17 (01:43:44):
You can't look at Hakeem Jeffries or you know, dem
leadership in the House of the Senate and say, you know, oh,
do X, y and Z to stop this. Well, the
math is really simple in both of these chambers, and
the rules are even simpler.
Speaker 18 (01:43:57):
It's majority rule, minority majority rule, minority rights.
Speaker 17 (01:44:01):
Right, that's political science, one on one every single class,
you know, compare to politics to focus on politicize any
one on one class. The first thing you learned about
Americans the government is that it's majority rule and the
majority rule minority rights.
Speaker 18 (01:44:12):
But it's still a majority rule.
Speaker 17 (01:44:14):
What people have to understand is that you you you
have to give the people that are looking out for
your interest power to look out for your interest.
Speaker 18 (01:44:21):
You can't come to them six months, eight months, a
year later and say what are you doing? You're doing nothing? Well, hey,
because of the way the system structured, I don't have
power to do anything. So you know today, you know, you.
Speaker 17 (01:44:33):
Know, Leader Jeffries, you know, laid out on the House
floor a House dem agenda. He called out you know
members of that that represented you know, constituencies, which effectively
is hey, read the you know them leader reaching out
his hands to these constituencies saying, listen, if the people
that you voted for it elected are going to give away,
you know, give away everything and not protect you, then
(01:44:56):
give us opportunity to actually work with you.
Speaker 18 (01:44:58):
And look, I think you're going to see.
Speaker 2 (01:44:59):
A wave.
Speaker 18 (01:45:03):
Eighteen waive of likes.
Speaker 21 (01:45:07):
Noah.
Speaker 1 (01:45:09):
One of the things that Bishop William Barbera does that
I think is brilliant is that when they have their rallies,
they do not allow politicians to speak. They let impacted
people speak. You heard Jeffries read letters from individuals in
(01:45:31):
those Republican districts talk about Medicaid, education, people with disabilities,
every and when I'm speaking to right now, Nola, are
those white Democratic strategists who keep running bullshit campaigns that
don't resonate.
Speaker 3 (01:45:48):
What you do right now.
Speaker 1 (01:45:50):
You are collecting, and you are amplifying impacted people in
every single one of those thirty five districts, and you
use them like a battering ram against the Republicans to
take them out in twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (01:46:06):
Six year comments.
Speaker 12 (01:46:09):
You know what I heard in that speech is three words.
Keep resonating with me. We the people, We the people,
We the people, that's what leapt out to me. I
thought that this rhetorical device was used strategically as part
of the Congressional Senate and Heal Content Creators program. I
have access to Congressional members, so I've been a part
(01:46:33):
of this fight pretty much since the beginning. I've been
near to I've been on a hill at two, three,
four o'clock in the morning, you know, talking to people
who are outside on the steps in the rain, you know,
and then also go inside and talk to members. And
one of the things that everyone was saying but had
a hard time trying to figure out how to say
it was we are here for the people. And that
(01:46:53):
is what I heard in speaker Jeffries, Leader Jeffries, people
keep manifesting that. That's what I heard in his nine hours.
For me, it wasn't necessarily about him being the next
this generation's orator. I saw it as strategic. And one
of the ways in which I saw it as strategic
(01:47:14):
was he brought this bill into the daylight. And this
is where I think the Dems were very successful. People
are talking about this bill in a way that they
would not have been talking about it if the pressure
was not on, if multiple needs were not on multiple necks.
And to your point, Roland, just last night, I was
in historic black Chat's liquor store. Last night they had
(01:47:35):
a whiskey tasting and it was a smathering of Americans
and there was this one. There was this young white
male who was a Democrat from Alabama. He said, I
am uneducated and I have been a blue collar work
of my entire life. And he said, I get really
annoyed because the Democratic Party feels so elite that I
am not a part of the party. But I've always
(01:47:58):
been a Democrat. My wife said Democrat. We moved to
DC so she could work here, and I picked up
my life to support her dream because that's how much
I believe in this. So we the people needs to
mean exactly that. You have to keep reminding people. You
have to also bring Southerners into this conversation, and not
(01:48:22):
just five minutes before a national election. They need to
be part of this conversation.
Speaker 11 (01:48:28):
They need to be.
Speaker 12 (01:48:29):
Engaged in a way that has not happened in a
very long time. People need to understand what's at stake
in this bill. And let me tell you something about Southerners.
One thing they understand is their health one thing they
understand are their doctor's appointments. Like most of their days
that actually spent around their doctor's appointments. So this is
(01:48:49):
an issue that resonates with people. This is why people
are talking about this bill. So while the Republicans won
this for Donald Trump, they did not win for the people.
And to your point, Roland, that's what Democrats have to
keep reminding people of. They won this for Trump, not
for them. We the people, We the people, We the people.
Speaker 1 (01:49:16):
Here's a perfect example of what I just think is
dumb progressive.
Speaker 3 (01:49:24):
Emma, where is it? It was just dumb?
Speaker 1 (01:49:27):
And this is the August drives me crazy. Hold on,
let me find it right here, because I can't believe
she posted this, Emma Viglin, She goes, you know, it
would have been great. She goes, Maybe if Democrats spent
weeks leading a mobilization effort against the bill, a national
(01:49:51):
strategy with rallies and key districts, instead of having meltdowns
about Zoran, I'd be a bit more enthusiastic about Jeffrey's
grand playing to delay the vote to the after known.
Speaker 3 (01:50:02):
What was stupid is they did that.
Speaker 1 (01:50:04):
One of the reasons this bill was so unpopular in
the polls is because Democrats literally were holding town halls
in Republican districts. See, this is the stupid stuff that
drives me crazy with progressives who act like stuff isn't happening. Okay,
who go oh okay, they gave a long speech this
afternoon at the thing is this, right, kid up in
(01:50:32):
what pisses Eugenet go heare go ahead?
Speaker 3 (01:50:36):
Oh no, No.
Speaker 18 (01:50:37):
The thing is that what pressors have to understand is
what the service.
Speaker 17 (01:50:40):
Also had to learn, right, and then actually finally switched
up their paper book from Obama Care saga everything. You're
not going to stop the bill, right, But what you
do is you use the moment to build for the
for the party in the power that you want to
come next cycle and twenty ten, Republicans were in the
(01:51:01):
worst worse position the Democrats are right now, and they
rallied and line people up and have people you know,
blood Congress during during the passaitor of Obamacare. The bill
was going to get passed. But you use the moment
to build to what you want. Speaker Jeffries actually use
a tool, right, and it's actually unique, literally suggests the
(01:51:24):
leader of the party.
Speaker 18 (01:51:25):
Only the leader gets unlimited talking speaking times.
Speaker 17 (01:51:28):
But essentially use the only version of a House filibuster
to maximize the moment. And these progressives, who probably have
never given to a candidate, who probably never knocked on
the door, who's probably never run off of themselves, probably
is in their local Democrat apparatus in one way, shape
or form, can on Twitter.
Speaker 3 (01:51:49):
No, I just don't do that. I'm sorry, don't do that. Greg,
go ahead, Okay, don't do that.
Speaker 18 (01:51:56):
Don't do that. Let's be very clear.
Speaker 3 (01:51:59):
You know this is.
Speaker 13 (01:52:03):
We need to stop acting as if we are in
a high school civics classroom. These a white supremacist. When
you see Mike Johnson, when you see Steve Scalise and
they behind the desk doing a little dance. A couple
of hours ago, Steve Scalise was protected by a black
woman and black law enforcement when somebody tried to take
(01:52:24):
his life, and that punk ass racist continues to be
a white supremacist.
Speaker 18 (01:52:28):
This isn't a two sides thing.
Speaker 14 (01:52:31):
Yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 13 (01:52:32):
I got a lot of friends who are alter raatical.
They like listen that both parties are saying. Dwoppoly. I'm
constantly enrolling those you've been beating that back as well.
But this is something else. Yes, o Cossio, Cortez and
Bernie Sanders have been out there, and then you know,
you've got Eric Swadwell go out and now they're starting
to do that. But the Democrats are too. Let me
(01:52:52):
be very clear about this. This isn't Democrats versus Republicans.
This is white supremacists and billionaires versus everybody. If you're
not going to do that what you said before, and
Rowland said as well, it's very important. How did mam
donni organize? He spoke to issues, He was sharp, he
was fast, He knows what he's doing. He's thirty three
(01:53:12):
years old. He's making these great videos. He's gonna get
an egg and cheese into bodega, and he's tying it
to taxes and billionaires getting breaks, and he's saying, you know,
we got to Freedy's buses.
Speaker 14 (01:53:21):
We're gonna have some community of some city on grocery stores.
And guess what he wins.
Speaker 18 (01:53:27):
After all those people, including all those.
Speaker 13 (01:53:29):
Negro politicians in New York City, elected officials that lined
up behind a man who should never have office.
Speaker 14 (01:53:35):
Again, Andrew Cuomo, like they were saluting the.
Speaker 13 (01:53:37):
Flag I'm looking at Greg Meets over the shoulder of
Ha King, Jeffrey sitting there. And when Clomo lost, Bill
Ackman and all them racists went and pulled Eric Adams
out the grave and said stand up and salute, and Lord, the.
Speaker 14 (01:53:51):
Democrats have done not a damn thing. So here's the thing.
Speaker 13 (01:53:56):
You're not gonna compromise with a white supremacist and feeding
up to progressive is a rest.
Speaker 18 (01:54:00):
Of the people are loss for the Democratic Party in
twenty twenty six.
Speaker 14 (01:54:04):
Put that in the book.
Speaker 1 (01:54:05):
Brother, all I'm saying is very simple, and that is
the reason Jeffrey's speech today was important. It is because
you've got to have something that you begin to galvanize
people around. You couldn't just say, oh, like I'm telling you,
(01:54:27):
I'm just sick of these progressives who think that, oh, they.
Speaker 3 (01:54:29):
Could have somehow stopped this.
Speaker 1 (01:54:31):
The question now is if you despise this bill, what
are you going to do now? I am quite sure
if there were numerous times Doctor King and Ralph Abernathy and.
Speaker 3 (01:54:48):
Septim mcclark.
Speaker 1 (01:54:51):
And Fenny Louhamer, I'm quite sure that when numerous times
James Foreman, James.
Speaker 3 (01:54:56):
Farmer, I'm quite sure that when numerous.
Speaker 1 (01:54:58):
Times a Philip Randall where they were just frustrated, and
they was what, I feel like I'm speaking into the wind.
But the reason they kept speaking and the reason they
kept protesting is because they understood it's the constant churn,
and it's the awakening of people.
Speaker 3 (01:55:19):
And what's gonna happen when this bill gets signed.
Speaker 1 (01:55:23):
The cuts begin to happen, and people begin to cry.
They then begin to they begin to cry first, then
they begin to cry out, and then when they cry out.
Speaker 3 (01:55:34):
They then are looking for some place to go.
Speaker 1 (01:55:37):
They're looking for some place to join, They're looking for
some place to tap into. And so the responsibility of Democrats,
of progressives, of civil rights groups and nonpartisan groups is
to be able to say, we have created.
Speaker 3 (01:55:53):
The place for you to come.
Speaker 1 (01:55:55):
We are a place for you to join, the place
for you to sign up.
Speaker 3 (01:55:58):
We want you to engage in this. That is the
point of it.
Speaker 2 (01:56:02):
But it is.
Speaker 3 (01:56:03):
Ludicrous to sit here.
Speaker 2 (01:56:05):
Go by god, he just spoke so long.
Speaker 3 (01:56:08):
It was a long speech. It did nothing.
Speaker 1 (01:56:12):
Everybody knew his speech was not going to somehow cause
Republicans to go, oh.
Speaker 3 (01:56:18):
My god, a lightning vote has hit me. The Lord
is speaking to my spirit, and therefore I'm going to
change my vote.
Speaker 1 (01:56:26):
No, they knew the lord that they served, the little
g God they serve is Donald Trump. But the whole
point there is if I could give somebody a sliver
of hope, give somebody a sense that we hear you
and we understand you, then we can go from there.
Speaker 3 (01:56:44):
But see, here's the challenge now.
Speaker 1 (01:56:46):
The challenge now for leader Jeffers, the challenge now for
DNC Chair Ken Martin, the chair now for Chuck Schumer,
the chair. Now for the packs and the and consultants,
and the candidates and the activists, the challenge for them
now is what are you going to do after July third?
What are you going to do after the Bilders signed
(01:57:06):
July fourth?
Speaker 3 (01:57:07):
What are you going to do on.
Speaker 1 (01:57:09):
July fifth and sixth, and seventh, and eighth, and ninth
and tenth, and eleventh and twelfth.
Speaker 3 (01:57:15):
And thirteenth and fourteenth and on and on and on.
That's really what the challenge is.
Speaker 1 (01:57:21):
And so when you have people who are in a
position who are ready to take action, that now means
that if you're Jefferson, you're going out and you're recruiting
candidates in every single race.
Speaker 3 (01:57:32):
That means that you're sitting here crafting a message.
Speaker 1 (01:57:35):
That means that you are stopping in Mitchet Bitchett and
money got Mam Donnie and studying his campaign and studying
his commercials and studying his strategy and looking at how
they did it. Because what you're going to have to
do in that district where they have sixty four percent
on Medicaid, you're gonna have.
Speaker 3 (01:57:50):
To go get those folks because they don't vote.
Speaker 1 (01:57:53):
You're gonna have to not go out and try to
convince some Republicans to vote for you. I'm sick and
tired of hearing Democrat say we're gonna have to yes,
and yank you were and others.
Speaker 3 (01:58:03):
We have to listen to them. No, we don't. We
don't have to listen to them. We don't have to
talk to them.
Speaker 1 (01:58:09):
What you have to do is activate the ninety million
folks who don't vote. You have got to be able
to reach them in a certain way. And that, folks,
is how you win. And I guarantee you y'all can
write it down right now at seven eleven pm Eastern
on July third, twenty twenty five, that if Democrats have
(01:58:34):
the courage to sit amongst the people and not talk
to the people, not preach to the people, but listen
to the people and engage the people, and then activate
the people.
Speaker 3 (01:58:47):
Then you are going to see a blue wave sweep.
Speaker 1 (01:58:50):
Across this country come November twenty twenty six, and then
they'll be able to say it all began the eight
hour and forty four minute and twenty five second speech
on July third that exposed this nasty, ugly, dangerous bill
for the whole nation to see and did not allow
(01:59:13):
it to be passed in the middle of the night.
The question is for folk watching, for folk who are tweeting,
for the folk who are posting, for the folk who
are complaining.
Speaker 3 (01:59:27):
The question you now have to answer. I go back
to that movie.
Speaker 1 (01:59:32):
The Untouchables, when they're in the balcony church in the
church balcony, and you got Kevin Costner.
Speaker 3 (01:59:42):
That's right, he's sitting here across from Sean Connery. He said.
Connor says, what are you prepared to do?
Speaker 1 (01:59:52):
Elliotness, Well, I'm prepared to do whatever I need to
do under the law.
Speaker 3 (01:59:56):
He said, Then what are you prepared to do?
Speaker 11 (01:59:59):
Then?
Speaker 1 (02:00:00):
He said, when one they come at you with a knife,
you come ut them with a gun. One of them
puts your people in the hospital, you put one of
them in anymore. He said, that is the Chicago way,
and that is how you do it. But he said,
what the question is, mister ness, what are you prepared
(02:00:21):
to do? And that is the question that I have
for the more than five thousand of y'all watching right now,
for the folks who are listening. If you want to
see something change, I don't need you. You can't vote today.
What you can do right now is go out and
inform and educate and enlightened. Tell folks to watch this show.
(02:00:43):
Tell people what needs to happen. And we need to
be sitting here letting them know what's going on and
what happens and what closes and what gets shut down
and who gets affected.
Speaker 18 (02:00:53):
And we're gonna be telling these stories.
Speaker 1 (02:00:54):
And then when the time comes to pull that trigger
at the ballot box, we rain holy hell on these evil,
despicable people. Vote them out of office. And then we say,
after twenty twenty six, JD. Vance and everyone else, we
coming after you in twenty twenty eight. And you sit
(02:01:15):
here and run over them like a locomotive. Train, but
that cannot happen if folks sit on the sidelines, whine
and complain. Nola had to go. Let me thank Greg,
Let me thank you. Jane joining us on today's show.
Tomorrow we will be playing the rendering and Greg was
