Hello.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
I'm Isaacas, the third founder and CEO fan Base. Listen
to what I'm about to tell you. The window to
invest in fan Base is closing. We've raised over ten
point six million of our seventeen million dollar goal. That
means there's room for less than six thousand, three hundred
and seventy people to invest in fan Base for the
average amount. The minimum to invest in fan Base right

(00:39):
now is three hundred and ninety nine dollars. That makes
you an owner in fan Base today. Go to start engine,
dot com slash fan base to invest. Why because current
social apps have taken advantage of users for far too
long with content suppression, shadow banning, homeful, racist content, and
no real tools for monetization and equity. Fan Base has
over one point four million users in counting, allowing anyone

(01:02):
to reach all their following and monetize their content from
day one. Social media is the new TV, and whoever
owns an app to distribute that content have the opportunity
to own potential billion dollar companies. While big platforms with
certain futures are failing to serve their users, fan Base
is stepping up to fill the gap. Don't wait until
it's too late. Invest now, invest for yourself and your future.

(01:25):
Go to start engine dot com, slash fan base and
own the next generation of social media.

Diddycomb's prosecutors to accused him of leaving a criminal enterprise.
We'll hear from LEGO analyst Candice Kelly. The Supreme Court

usentual health care for millions of women at risk. Fireworks

(06:19):

I'm gonna show you that. Speaking of Consuman, Jasmin Crockett,
what the hell of Democrats doing? How do they choose
a no name Democrat to leave the House Oversight Committee

(06:39):
who doesn't really say anything that you can remember? They

who can raise money hugely popular. What the hell of
they're doing they are doing? Plus will exam of the
findings of an expert in election forensics whom there is

(07:00):
hististical evidence a vote manipulation in twenty twenty four US election.

Times when all my adamists would join us to talk
about this. Yo, it's time to bring the funk. I'm
rolling by nonfilture on the Black Slear Network. Let's go.

Speaker 20 (07:22):

He's got the school the fact fine EA believes he's

Speaker 21 (07:41):
He's going.

Speaker 22 (07:44):
It's row up, it's stroll in ta yeah, rolling with rolling.

Speaker 23 (07:58):
He's poky stressed.

Speaker 24 (07:59):
She's real good. Shouldn't know he's Roven Monte.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
All right, folks. Exposive testimony closing arguments in the Sean
Diddecomb's trial. Let's go right to legal analyst Candace Kelly
to break down what happened in the courtroom.

Speaker 25 (08:26):
Candace ah Well Roland listen. Each side, the prosecution the defense.
They give four hours for their closing argument. After the
prosecution went a little over four hours, but I don't
think that the defense minded. I'm sure they did not
want to go today because this is a long day
for jerors and you want to make sure that they
are fresh, so the defense will give their closing argument tomorrow.

(08:47):
But what we heard today were the prosecutors taking us
step by step through each of the charges each of
the victims, and how they and how the evidence matched
up with each one according to them and according to
their witness.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
This is certainly what they hope the jury will believe.

Speaker 25 (09:03):
I think that one of the things that we have
to keep in mind is that July forth is coming.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
The jury is getting a little bit tired. These are
very long, long.

Speaker 25 (09:13):
Closing arguments, but this is the time where prosecution and
the defense get to make what they want stick connect
all of those dots, and this is really their last
chance to do so. So we heard a lot about
what we heard in the trial already, but we heard
it all at one time. This has been six weeks.
This is something that I'm sure a lot of information
and details the jury has forgotten about. And that is

(09:35):
what the prosecution kept in mind as they spoke today,
to remind them of the things that they may have forgotten.
I would imagine that this will probably go into deliberations
on Monday, but tomorrow is when we will hear from
the defense and their closing arguments.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
And these arguments they of course they pretty much reiterated
we've heard in the last six weeks, but also explain
the people about these charges being dropped and why that
was done. Yeah.

Speaker 25 (10:05):
So you know what's interesting is that when you get
these charges, you get them on a charge sheet. In
terms of the jury, they know exactly what the charges
are going to be, and the prosecution and the defense
have the opportunity to lay out how they want those
charges presented. Wording really really matters. So there are many
many charges because not only do we have sex trafficking, right,

(10:26):
you have to go sex trafficking for this victim, this
victim and the next victim. So it multiplies by three
and four depending upon how many victims. What the prosecution
said was that when it comes to attempted kidnapping and
when it comes to attempted arson, we are going to
get rid of that particular theory, but we are going
to keep arson and kidnapping on these particular jury deliberation

(10:49):
sheets and charge sheets. So really we're just kind of
fine tuning and streamlining their theory because really, if you
have if you think that somebody committed arson, well then
you probably think that they attempted to committed arson. It
kind of merges together. And what happens is that during
jury instructions, for example, those also take many, many hours.
And I think that the more charges they remove again

(11:12):
unless the jury has to sit. Listen, it's one hundred
and four degrees a couple of days this week, the
less the jury has to sit and come to this trial.
And I think that that's very helpful when we're talking
about the jury the time July fourth coming up. But really,
kidnapping and arson are staying. It's just attempted kidnapping and
attempted arson kind of merge with those particular offenses, and

(11:36):
so they remove them.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
And again of people who have not said on a jury,
who not followed a trial, you say, they have to
walk through each charge and you say that's about forty
five minutes each.

Speaker 25 (11:48):
Yeah, so that each charge, what will happen after the
closing arguments are done, We're going to hear from the judge,
and the judge is going to give jury instructions, And
here's where he goes through all of the laws, all
of everything that Sean Holmes is accused of, from arson
to kidnapping, to bribery to extortion to the drug offenses.

(12:09):
And he's going to explain what they have to look
for in each of these offenses, what the law says
about each of these offenses, what they can consider, what
they can't consider, things of that nature.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
STI. It's very detailed. That will take hours.

Speaker 25 (12:25):
So when you remove some of those charges, it's very
very helpful in terms of some of the time. But
that is the next step. And then of course when
they go to the deliberation room, the next step that
the jurors have to do is select a four person.
That four person manages what's going on, make sure that
everybody gets their voices heard. You know, if they want
to see any evidence, they send a note to the judge.

(12:45):
The four person is the person that sends the note
to that judge, and they can ask for evidence, They
can go back and forth if they have questions, as
long as it's been entered into evidence. They can ask, hey, listen,
we have questions about this evidence or even question about
the law. Many times juries go in and they say, hey, listen,
what if we're a hung jury, So any information that
they want. Those are the next steps that we're looking

(13:07):
at with the jury.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Did he defense, he did not testify? They did not
call any witnesses. Again, for folks who don't really understand
these things, explain what their strategy was by then not
calling any witnesses. Was it simply a matter of saying, hey,
they don't think the prosecution proved their case.

Speaker 25 (13:27):
Yeah, And that's key to it, because the prosecution is
the one who has to do the work here.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
They have to prove the case.

Speaker 25 (13:34):
Sean and his people, they can sit back and say, hey, listen,
you didn't prove it, and that's actually the theory that
we're going to use.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
You didn't prove it.

Speaker 25 (13:42):
Now, a lot of people will say, well, listen, they
didn't call any witnesses. Why isn't there even a character witness?
The truth kind of is roland that they have called witnesses,
and that on cross examination that at least to get
to kind of poke holes maybe in a witness's story
and bring out some bias or bring about some inconsistent
statements on their list of witnesses that they said they

(14:03):
were going to have They had a couple of people
who were from bad Boy Enterprises.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
They had their own forensic psychologists.

Speaker 25 (14:10):
But when you get somebody on the stand, you never
know what's going to happen. Then you open the door
for a lot more evidence to come in that may
actually hurt the defendant. So they have said, which is
why they called for an acquittal, which is, you know,
really procedural. But I'm sure that they meant it that, Hey, listen,
you didn't prove your case. They asked for an acquittal.
They did not get that, but that is their theory.

(14:31):
You didn't prove your case and you were supposed to
and you didn't do a good job. I personally would
have loved to have heard from someone who was a
part of the bad Boy enterprise to say, hey, this
theory that the government has that this enterprise existed only
for purposes of you know, criminal racketeering and fraud, enforced
and coercion.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
Noah didn't. We're bad Boy records. We also were involved
in both TV.

Speaker 25 (14:54):
You know, he had a liquor brand, he had a
marketing brand, he had Sean John.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
It would have been.

Speaker 25 (14:59):
Good, I think, But again, opening a door that they
weren't aware of could happen, but it would have established that, hey,
this particular criminal enterprise that you're calling now, it was
a real business. But we did not hear from those witnesses,
and of course we didn't hear from Sean Colmes, who
spoke on his own behalf and said, I am not
going to testify in my own behalf.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
I've talked to my attorneys.

Speaker 25 (15:22):
It was a decision that I made on my own
and that's when the defense rested.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
And lastly, you also have a situation where I think
the defense is like, Okay, we're gonna con see he's
an asshole, he's an all for human being. But there's
a difference between being an all for human being who
physically beat a woman who physically beat Cassie. That's different

(15:48):
from rico sex trafficking and so everything. How they positioned this, Hey,
they just had a bunch of freaky sex. That's how
they pretty much pretty much framed this.

Speaker 25 (16:00):
Yeah, they had a bunch of freaky sex. They had
a bunch of freaky partners, and everybody was consenting, and
that Cassie and their opening statements they said, listen, these
women were strong women, and that's what they're going to
carry over into their closing argument. These were strong women,
They had the right to make decisions about who they
were their body and in fact, a lot of them

(16:21):
took drugs and were on drugs. These are some of
the points that the defense is going to make that
everybody was on drugs, everybody consented, everybody made these decisions.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
On their own volition.

Speaker 25 (16:33):
They will also look to the digital footprint, all the
texts and admiration because all the witnesses, regardless of what
they said, they all buy in law, well most of
them in terms of those being a relationship with them.
They said, listen, I wish him well, I don't hate him.
His assistants even they said, listen, great experience.

Speaker 23 (16:51):
I learned a lot.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
I didn't mind working all these hours.

Speaker 25 (16:53):
But yes, that is what the defense is going to say,
on their own volition, these women made their choices, and
what are you going to do. People want to do drugs,
they want to have sex. That's their own right, and
that's what happened in this situation.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
All right, then, Kennis Kelly, we appreciate it, thanks a lot,
all right.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Good to see Roland.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Folks going to break. We come back. Lots of things
happening on Capitol. He'll remembers of Congress just lighting up
these Republicans for sheer stupidity. Speaking of stupidity, you had
some crazy as congression of hearings this week. It just
made no sense whatsoever. Then, of course the back and

(17:31):
forth with the wrong strike, you got Pete Heseth and
Trump lashing out at the media because they're not praising
and kissing there behind hecks Hath even said that this
was the most complex secretive military operation in history. Them ass,

(17:52):
do you not recall D Day? They're idiots. I'll be
right back. You're watching, well, I'm bout the unfiltered on
the Black stud network.

Speaker 12 (18:06):
We don't stand up for medicaid now, in spite of
my honorable military service, the Senate will kill my child.

Speaker 13 (18:14):
I want the people that are trying to take this
away from us to put yourself in our seats.

Speaker 14 (18:20):
Congress, people, you got free health care paid for by
the people, and then you don't want the people to
have the same thing you have that is sick and
we must challenge it.

Speaker 15 (18:34):
This bill will deny millions of people the healthcare that
they need.

Speaker 16 (18:40):
This is policy violence.

Speaker 17 (18:42):
And we won't be silent anymore.

Speaker 23 (18:46):
This week on the other side of change.

Speaker 6 (18:48):
Juneteenth, the day about blackness. It's a great day about freedom.

Speaker 26 (18:51):
It's also a day about talking about justice to lead
and we are not in the business of justice scheme,
deny to us, So stick around.

Speaker 6 (18:57):
You're going to talk all about.

Speaker 8 (18:58):
The case of reparation the pusher.

Speaker 27 (19:00):
Reparations is not just an economic project, it's a moral project.
So if you want to live up to the ideas
of this foundation, then reparations has to be something that
we pursue.

Speaker 26 (19:11):
Only on the other side of change, on the Black
side network, we see.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
If y'all, this is Wendell Haskins aka Win Hogan at
the original Peuthlastic and you know our watch Rowland Martin unfiltered.
All right, folks, it is always quite interesting when Congress

(19:43):
is in a session, then you have these political hearings,
and then you've got these nutcase Republicans, and then of
course you've got absolutely utterly ridiculous and insane maggot doing
the things that they do, and it also exposes just
how arrogant and shameful these people really are. Uh. This week,

(20:08):
a variety of folk were on Capitol Hill testifying Attorney
General Pam Bondi. You you had, of course you had,
of course so many others and uh you with that
crazy Carrie Lake and it was was just on and
on and on and how they don't even want UH

(20:30):
to deal with a corruption, don't want to answer questions
when it comes to the budget. I mean, you've got Sean,
you got Doug Collins with the VA. I mean, it's
just it's just sheer, stupid, stupidity. Here's a perfect example
of their arrogance. So here's Pam Bondi talking to an
United States Center from Oregon, and she said, you know,

(20:51):
what the hell, I'm just gonna be a piss ant
in answering his questions. Listen to this.

Speaker 28 (20:58):
A request by you to produce AI chips that would
go to UAE. The National Security Advisor of UAE is
also the CEO of MGX. So after that request for
those chips occurred, mg X then said we will buy
two billion billion with a b of the President's coins.

(21:20):
And then the President went to the Middle East and
said we will get you those AI chips. Does this
sequence of events in which a foreign government asked for
a big favor, and we had previously banned these chips
to UAE because of the national security concerns. Then they
buy two billion dollars of the President's coins, and then
the President goes to the Middle East and says, we
will provide those chips. Does that sequence of events concern

(21:43):
you about foreign influence on the United States of America.

Speaker 11 (21:46):
The foreign influence on America that I would be concerned
about if I were you, was the Mexican that we
just the Mexican national that resided in Oregon who we
just arrested, who had three hundred and eighty four pounds
of metha amphetamy. The foreign individual who I would be
concerned about if I were a senator from Oregon is
the Honduran drug trafficker who was residing in Portland for

(22:07):
distributing fittanhol The foreign national I would be concerned about
if I was a Portland Senator, an Oregon senator, excuse
me as a Mexican national leader of a drug trafficking ring.
Another one Bittanhall firearms fatal overdoses all in your state.
You have major point fifty seven thousand, seven hundred Bittenhall

(22:30):
pills and stolen.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
Firearms in Oregon.

Speaker 11 (22:33):
That's what we should work together on, not gotcha questions
during a budget.

Speaker 28 (22:39):
Thank you very much, mister Sherman. The Attorney General certainly
has made the point that she's very concerned about issues
that I'm concerned about as well, regarding the security as country.
But let the record note that in terms of foreign
influence and the sale of foreign influence through the President's coins,
she absolutely refuses to respond and instead turns to a
whole list of different topics. I think it's important for

(23:01):
the leader of the Justice Department of the United States
to be very concerned about foreign influence, and I encourage
you to take on that topic. Not considered it an
offense that those of us who are concerned here, Democrats
and Republicans want Americans to make American decisions, not foreign
influence being bought through crypto coins.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Senor Murkowski, you see right there, the arrogance. You see
just the despicable behavior in terms of how they answer questions,
how they want to go on the attack. Which I
got to remember is there's an audience of one. Donald

(23:38):
Trump sends these idiots to Capitol Hill, and he wants
to see them trashing and chastising and things along those lines.
That's what you see happening. Then, of course you have
the hearing of Carrie Lake, of course, who leads VOA
and so. And they just sit here and again they

(23:59):
just lie and lie and lie and say crazy things.
And so here's an Arizona congressman riping Carrie Lake. Watch this.

Speaker 29 (24:09):
Cannot believe a word you say. You ran for governor
in Arizona in twenty twenty two. You lost fair and square.
Instead of conceding, you embarrassed your stealth and our state
by lying again and again for years, blaming everything under

(24:30):
the sun for your loss, except for your own toxic politics.
You lie about that election to this very day. You
lied about signatures on mail in ballots not matching those
on file, proven wrong. You lied about ballots being intentionally
misprinted and then rejected in Republican areas, total bs. You

(24:51):
lied and said hundreds of thousands of ballots were mishandled
zero evidence. You claimed fake ballots were snuck into batches
before they were out.

Speaker 16 (25:00):
Come on.

Speaker 29 (25:02):
You repeated these lies again and again, and you said,
even recently quote I am the duly elected governor.

Speaker 8 (25:09):
They just stole it.

Speaker 29 (25:11):
Unquote, give me a break, Miss Lake. Your new role
requires you to tell the truth. For decades, whenever authoritarians
and dictators suppressed the people and claimed victory and frauding elections,
Voice of America countered those lies. I can't imagine how
people fighting for democracy today and around the world can

(25:32):
trust someone who has so shamelessly lied about her own election.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
Miss No, I will not, Miss Lake. That's what you do.
I mean, you call them for who they are. You
lay out, uh, and you lay out and and you
you check them. But see again, Uh they are deranged
and crazy. Uh, they have said. She in fact even

(26:00):
challenge one particular member by saying, well, you know what
were you saying when they were calling you gay? See
they want to fight now, only check this out. So
Senator John Osov was talking to Russell Vault and they
were going over the budget. They were talking about the
budget and things along those lines. And when you talk

(26:22):
about again, how they don't want to answer questions, how
they want to shift the blame. And so here is
Russell Vault watched this here the CDC.

Speaker 10 (26:34):
Have you visited the CDC, mister vote by chance, I
have not.

Speaker 30 (26:37):
It is the the flagship epidemiological and public health agency
for the country and indeed for the world that they
administration film and either you have now you have now
fired or tried to fire nearly a quarter of the workforce.

Speaker 10 (26:53):
Correct?

Speaker 30 (26:53):
Senator, are you suggesting the CDC performed well in the
last pandemic? I asked you whether you have fired or
tried to fire a quarter of the CDC or answer the.

Speaker 10 (27:03):
Question, because you have in front of me that you.

Speaker 30 (27:06):
Have fire or tried to fire nearly a quarter of
the CDC workforce. And your budget request for FY twenty
six would cut the CDC budget in more than half.

Speaker 10 (27:17):
Correct.

Speaker 30 (27:18):
The Center for Disease answer the question they were in
comp answer the question laster vote pandemic. Does your budget
request certainly seek to cut by more than half the
CDC budget.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
We certainly seek to cut and reduce.

Speaker 30 (27:31):
By more than half the CDC budget. Mister Vot, you
need to come to Georgia and visit the CGC.

Speaker 10 (27:37):
Good.

Speaker 30 (27:37):
We'll make that happen, because you are destroying this institution
and whatever criticism you have about their past performance, they
are essential to public health and epidemiological defense in the
United States. You're crushing morale your crushing capability, and you're
destroying my constituents lives. And I am grateful for the
commitment you've made to come to Georgia and visit the

(27:59):
cd SEE and sit down with those employees.

Speaker 10 (28:02):
Thank you, Administration. I don't want to hear about the
Biden administration. You're here on behalf of the Trump administration.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
The wit all right, So I'm going to play one
more that I saw, uh, and it it shows you
the sheer incompetence of these people.

Speaker 4 (28:25):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
It shows you how they don't give a damn about
Congress uh, and Republicans don't care about actually hearing from them.
But their entire goal is again, uh, to just say,
you know what, I don't give a damn what any
of y'all have to say. This is Senator John Osop again.

Speaker 30 (28:48):
Thank you, mister Chairman, and thank you again, mister secretary.
So just just to start with the basics here, mister secretary,
the total all in request for f y twenty six
is four hundred and forty one point two billion dollars correct, okay?
And how much of your medical services request is for personnel?

(29:12):
And how many personnel through this medical services request do
you intend to employ in FY twenty six.

Speaker 18 (29:19):
At the current and I also have if you I
have my budget Andrew here as well, the phase the
numbers that we need, if miss Chairman with yours. The
issue that you brought up is right now, they're currently
four hundred and sixty five.

Speaker 9 (29:33):
Thousand employees in BA as a whole.

Speaker 18 (29:38):
VHA has four hundred and nine thousand those.

Speaker 10 (29:41):
I'm so service.

Speaker 30 (29:41):
The question is how many staff do you intend to
employ employee through the medical services budget in f y
twenty six?

Speaker 18 (29:49):
Do we have Andrew three hundy six thousand, three hundred
ninety six thousand, three hundred and ninety six thousand, yes, okay,
the FY twenty five request, and just to be clear,
that's intended staffing of medical services in f y twenty

(30:10):
six save a number again, three hundred ninety five ninety six.

Speaker 10 (30:15):
Thousand, three ninety six thousand, okay.

Speaker 30 (30:16):
How many physicians do you intend to employ in FY
twenty six?

Speaker 23 (30:20):
Physicians?

Speaker 30 (30:23):
Physicians we employ a large number of I'm sorry, who
are you?

Speaker 9 (30:27):
Andrew? Is our budget right now?

Speaker 18 (30:29):
We currently have twenty eight thousand, eight hundred and sixty
eight yeah.

Speaker 30 (30:31):
So how many physicians do you intend to employ in
FY twenty six.

Speaker 9 (30:37):
We're not cutting physicians.

Speaker 18 (30:38):
So at this point in time, under that budget, we're
still looking continue a twenty eight thousand, eight hundred and
sixty eight at minimum, because we're also having to ad
physicians which are not which are exempt, so we're at that.

Speaker 10 (30:49):
We usually.

Speaker 30 (30:52):
Because this is for example, the budget request from twenty five,
and it specifies that for twenty five were requested twenty
five thousand, ninety nine physicians, So we usually get this
in advance of this hearing. So my question is just
how many doctors you intend to employ?

Speaker 18 (31:09):
Yeah, and at this point time, I'll take that and
get it back to you, as I told you yesterday
on the phone. There'll be some more information coming later
this week.

Speaker 10 (31:16):
Okay, how about dentists?

Speaker 18 (31:18):
The same answer. Do you have the number for nurses
we currently employed? Ninety one thousand, zero forty I'll have.

Speaker 10 (31:27):
My question is how many and I.

Speaker 18 (31:28):
Understand and breakdown will be provided.

Speaker 30 (31:31):
As I said yesterday, Okay, well, how have you calculated
the money you need for personnel without having yet decided
how many personnel to employ.

Speaker 18 (31:43):
And the breakdown of the budget, which right now is
still going on. These are the numbers that we are
using to go forward from last year's budget into this
year's budget. And at this point there is also a
gap in how many we have currently hired and not hired.
And so at this point I'll have the numbers for
you that we've not provided yet, will be providing those numbers.

Speaker 10 (32:02):
But you've proposed.

Speaker 30 (32:03):
A about seventeen or eighteen billion dollar cut to the
medical services account.

Speaker 18 (32:12):
Correct, that is not the president budget makes adjustments to
the funding that devote additional funding and profunded community care.

Speaker 9 (32:19):
This is not a cut to total to funding to VHA.

Speaker 18 (32:22):
The matter of fact, the total medical care budget grew
by seventeen percent to twenty four b.

Speaker 30 (32:26):
Not medical care, medical services. So here here's your just
And just to be clear, I mean the chairman mentioned this.

Speaker 18 (32:32):
We usually get I understand completely.

Speaker 30 (32:35):
Specifies how many folks you intend to employ. We have
a twenty six page PowerPoint. But in that twenty six
page power point here are specified about seventeen billion dollars
and cuts to the medical services budget. So who what
are you cutting in medical services? Who specifically, who are
you cutting since that's exclusively personnel.

Speaker 18 (32:57):
The again in this and this is the issue that
we have right now, and I'll just state this for
either us to go back in circles you'll be getting.
We'll be providing more of those numbers, as I said
yesterday on our phone call this week. So at this
point in time, the numbers that we're providing are the
numbers that we have at this point. I'll be happy
to talk to you further about those later.

Speaker 30 (33:17):
I'm just I'm and understand that that that's why we
usually get these.

Speaker 10 (33:20):
In advance of this hearing.

Speaker 30 (33:22):
I mean, I'm wondering if we need to reconvene having
received the full budget request, because the thing that is
causing a lot of consternation is this proposed seventeen eighteen
billion dollars cut to medical services. I mean that, And
so today is the budget hearing where you justify the

(33:43):
budget request. So how do you justify this cut to
medical services? And who are you going to fire in
order to pay for it?

Speaker 18 (33:51):
And I'll go back to the same matter I gave
you just a few minutes ago. I mean, in this process,
we'll have the more information on that part of it
as we go forward.

Speaker 9 (33:59):
The basis we're the budget was based on the.

Speaker 18 (34:02):
You know, our workforce as it existed, and moving forward,
and the numbers have not been cut to the medical.

Speaker 10 (34:08):
I'm sorry, stick here.

Speaker 30 (34:09):
Budget you have in your PowerPoint here seventeen eighteen billion
dollars and cuts to medical services. Again, this is the
This is a twenty six page PowerPoint to justify the budget.
So and this is the budget hearing. So who's getting fired?
I don't know, mister chairman. If we need to reconvene,

(34:31):
don't they send us the materials? But I think this
is insufficient. We clearly and I'll follow up in my
next round.

Speaker 10 (34:39):
Thank you, mister chairman.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
Yo, that's literally going to class and the professor said,
did you do the homework assignment? You know, professor, I
sent your email and some stuff happened, and so I'm
gonna get that to you late. No, no, but did
you know it was due today? These people, they have

(35:05):
a gross disrespect for the legislative branch. Donald Trump and
his minions. They believe they should do whatever they want.
Congress does not matter, the course do not matter, We
do not care. And let's go on the attack. Let's
slam the opponent. And I dare say, the problem for
Democrats and I get it. I get Murky, I understand oldsoft.

(35:28):
I get that. I think they being way too damn nice,
because I'm not gonna let somebody walk into my house
and disrespect me, and you think I'm not gonna return fire.
That to me is the fundamental problem. I see they
are playing nice with these people and there letting them

(35:48):
off the hook, and they look like idiots. And then
they want to say everybody else is incompetent, and how
these are the best and the brighters and it's about
merit and we don't like DEI when these people can't
even do a basic job. My pound Doctor Nola Haynes,
Georgetown University, School of Foreign Service out of DC at

(36:09):
the Greg Card Department, BAFF for America Studies, Howard University,
out of DC. Recy Cobra, the host of recent cover
show series XM Radio, also creator of the card game
That's right? Am I tripping? In recy? Am? I? Am? I?
Am I tripping? Or do these people? I mean it's like, yeah, no, yeah, we.

Speaker 4 (36:29):
Ain't got that.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Hey do you have that?

Speaker 14 (36:31):
Do you?

Speaker 1 (36:31):
I mean, yeah, now, I know we said it cut,
but I don't really we ain't really got the paperwork,
So I mean, now I don't know what to tell you.
Dog and crazy thing. Rec Colin served eight years in Congress.
He know damn will how his works.

Speaker 31 (36:45):
Yeah, it's a whole lot of humma hummaa humma and
hummada hummada.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Ed look over there, look over there. Don't look right here.

Speaker 31 (36:51):
You're there because you're supposed to be talking about the details,
the specifics of the budget that's being put forth. Lookaballa.
Talk is about big beautiful bill, which is a hot mess.
But the reality is that the Trump twenty twenty six
budget is horrific.

Speaker 6 (37:07):
It is finished into the work that Trump is done
by thank you action for.

Speaker 31 (37:12):
A project twenty twenty five is putting into law just
absolutely ridiculous cuts that are going to dismantle government services
and dismantle the social safety net.

Speaker 6 (37:23):
And so they should.

Speaker 31 (37:24):
Come up, stand on business and stand behind these cuts.
But they're banking on the fact that they can just
rely on these headlines being grabbed from whatever dumbast thing
Donald Trump is saying or whatever they're trying to deflect,
instead of being held accountable to what this budget is
trying to do.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
Nola. Here's a perfect example. This is that nutcase Carrie
Lake reference, and this is the kind of crap that
she said in her hearing, and I'm sorry, Homie was
way too nice with her trifling ass.

Speaker 32 (37:58):
I wish I could yield back the last five minutes
of my life, actually, and I want to apologize to
the people of Arizona that we have somebody who's representing
the folks in one of our great parts of the
valley that doesn't care about the integrity of our elections.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
But you weren't here.

Speaker 32 (38:15):
You came in late. And we're talking about USAGM today,
the Agency for Global Media, and how they can put
out absolute, abject lies and we can't control any We
have no say over what the editorial content is.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
And I would hope that you would not be okay
with that.

Speaker 32 (38:31):
They could literally put out a lie about anybody here,
and I know you've been the victim of that.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
I know you've been the victim. I remember the.

Speaker 32 (38:38):
Stories about you where they said you had a gay lover,
and those were going, mister chairman.

Speaker 4 (38:45):
Chairman, can I I hope you honor.

Speaker 1 (38:48):
What you just gave is a caution to everyone.

Speaker 4 (38:51):
And I moved those words meet.

Speaker 32 (38:53):
To tell you that those kind of lies, and you
said those were lies, those kind of lies could be
broadcast today on VOA, and you couldn't pick up the
phone Representative Stanton and call them and say, hey, you're
putting up lies about me. You would not be able
to do that because they would sue you for breaking
the firewall. So lies are being told on Voice of America.

(39:14):
It's inappropriate. You've been subjected to lies that you said
were lies about you and the media before, and how
would you like it if those lies were put on Voice.

Speaker 1 (39:23):
Of America and Nola they let her ask keep talking?

Speaker 33 (39:28):
You know, you know what it's hysterical about this. I
don't know if folks out there have ever seen the
British TV show called The Thick of It.

Speaker 23 (39:37):
It is the show that inspired zep this.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
No hold on, Nola, Nola, why are you holding that microphone?

Speaker 23 (39:47):
Because I'm on my phone. There was some technical issues and.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
Noa Nola, No, Nola, that microphone clips on. Just clip
it on. I want to hold it like my nails.

Speaker 8 (39:58):
Can that do me?

Speaker 1 (39:58):
And Nola, Nola, take the furry thing off. That's a
wind screen. It ain't windy inside.

Speaker 23 (40:08):
It's astatic.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
No, it's not an aesthetic.

Speaker 4 (40:12):
No.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
As matter of fact, let me go ahead and say
that I'm gonna let you finish. I keep watching these
damn people, Terrade. I keep watching these folks do videos,
and they really getting on my nerves. That is a
wind screen. It is supposed to reduce the wind noise.
That is not a furry accessory. So Lord, have like
a like a big a put that put that chi

(40:33):
up at that clip that thing on the you and
just talk.

Speaker 6 (40:38):
Look the wind screen so I can turn my fan out.

Speaker 33 (40:41):
Lord gone, oh that nerves me, the noise from my
air conditioner and the noise from the fan, because it's
a lot going on in here.

Speaker 23 (40:50):
Can I just finish my thought?

Speaker 1 (40:52):
Man, next thing, y'all know, y'all gonna have a pink
wind screen, a red windscreen, a green girl gone, thank you.

Speaker 23 (41:01):
So back to my point.

Speaker 33 (41:03):
If you watch the British show The Thick of It,
it was about Tony Blair's comms director who was a bully.
And when I say that, this is the exact scene,
the exact tactic of throwing everybody off by first insulting
the person saying, oh you relate, you know, by throwing
that person off, and then by saying that something happened

(41:24):
to you negative in the media to deflect from what
the actual situation about them is. I keuse you note
if y'all as politicals have not watched The Think of It,
you have got to watch that show.

Speaker 23 (41:36):
This is an exact.

Speaker 33 (41:37):
Scene, frame by frame by frame, which makes this even
more hysterical, but it's effective.

Speaker 23 (41:44):
You know, they have dug in.

Speaker 33 (41:46):
They are standing tin toes down on just being bullish,
on being rude.

Speaker 23 (41:51):
They don't care. They don't care that this is how.

Speaker 33 (41:54):
They're being seen because they've been told this is what
strength looks like.

Speaker 23 (42:00):
Everyone has said.

Speaker 33 (42:01):
The dams need to figure out very soon how to
combat this, because you're sitting here looking crazy, still trying
to be statesmen like stateswomen like when people are coming
for you, you know, because to me, what she said
was homophobic and it was done on purpose, because that's
red meat for the base right.

Speaker 23 (42:20):
That was to own the live.

Speaker 33 (42:21):
They need to figure this out very quickly because they
sitting here, They sitting around here looking crazy and week.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
Yeah, because for Donald Trump, he wants central casting. He
wants people who look a certain way, greg talk a
certain way. And what Democrats don't seem to understand is
that these congressional hearings folk can say performative, performing for
the cameras. Yeah. Yeah. The reality is you should be

(42:51):
using your five minutes to eviscerate your foes, to destroy them,
to make them look like sheer idiots, and when they
bring the shade, you hit the ass with a double
and a triple dose of shade. But no, they want
to shit here and let these fools ramble and go

(43:13):
on and on and on. That's why it was Conswin,
Maxine Waters and not everybody doing reclaiming my time. You've
got to shut these thugs down and not give an inch.

Speaker 7 (43:25):
Greg, Absolutely, you do you do to the white passing
Carrie Lake and all the others who are working to
the performance their lord and master. It may look like
there's individual flair and each of these performances and appearances,

(43:46):
but the architect of much of this was on the
hill Eara this week and last week, Russell Volk. It's
Russell Voe's playbook. It's exactly what Chia said. When you
go to the Mandate Leadership Project twenty twenty five, you
read chapter on the concept of the executive branch and
this kind of powerful, all encompassing executive branch. Then what

(44:09):
you saw today was the equivalent of Richard Pryor saying
back in the seventies or Chris Rock in the nineteen nineties,
I don't know that as keeping it real. In other words,
I'm from the executive branch. I ain't gotta tell you,
as Richard Pryce, hey man, show me, I ain't gotta
show you. That's really what Collins was telling his former colleague.

(44:30):
That's what we've seen with Carrie Lake. This is what
we've seen with everybody who's testified contempt. So anyone expecting
anything different, I mean, look at that stooge, Bill Casty
in Louisiana, who's right in bed with him. You're a
medical doctor, and Robert F. Kenny came up there and
to your face and straight tone a lie to you.
And now you up here are having a reconsider.

Speaker 10 (44:52):
No you're not.

Speaker 7 (44:53):
It's all theaters, you said, Roland. The tragedy is we
are theater, so that we think is real. But them
phone calls had already been made. Then not gonna stop her.

Speaker 1 (45:02):
Yeah, I just it just sort of just drives me
crazy when they do that. Uh, And I came across
see this is also why I could never serve an office.
Come in I be getting censured. They'll be like, you
shouldn't be cussing. You know, I listened. I listen, I
spoke to the I spoke to a fellowship today. Uh,

(45:22):
and I look at the singing Saints be like Roland,
stop cussing. I'm like, y'all, I'm trying not to cuss,
but these folks just make me cuss. But I can't.
But I ain't gonna come close to cussing recent h.
But here's a he's a perfect example. I saw this exchange.
And maybe it's because she from the Bay Area, but

(45:44):
Congresswoman Latifa Simon, when I say hashtag team whipped that
ass rolled into Capitol Hill like a hurricane. And Nola
can use her wid screened for that like a hurricane. Ye,

(46:05):
it was lit rolling.

Speaker 34 (46:10):
This is a very very difficult conversation. I'm a great granddaughter.

Speaker 1 (46:32):
You had to.

Speaker 10 (46:33):
Have a heart surgery.

Speaker 9 (46:34):
Again.

Speaker 35 (46:34):
Would you rather have a doctor who studied the hartest
in school and was the most qualified to the term
form the surgery or a doctor that was in that
position because of their race or gender. Which one would
you rather have, mister Lincoln.

Speaker 9 (46:46):
I'd prefer a well qualified physician.

Speaker 10 (46:48):
Doctor Smith at the risk of not keeping it real.

Speaker 30 (46:51):
I want the best physician, Doctor Locke the best physician,
and doctor Harper.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
Are only the best physicians white.

Speaker 35 (47:00):
I don't care what That wasn't a question? Okay, do
you guys agree with doctor yes or no? Do you
agree with doctor Martin Luther King's statement that people should
be judged by the content of the character, not the
color of their skin. Mister Lincoln absolutely, doctor Smith yep,
and doctor Glott absolutely, and doctor Harper.

Speaker 36 (47:20):
Martin Luther King would absolutely be repulsed repulsed by the
politicized attacks on diversity, equity inclusions.

Speaker 35 (47:29):
So you're not going to say you got to say
yes or no.

Speaker 36 (47:33):
No, I'm no listen, I'm telling you right now, well,
emotion based are we Are you advocating emotion wo.

Speaker 4 (47:47):
Values?

Speaker 10 (47:47):
Answer did?

Speaker 35 (47:48):
And the answer is yes or no?

Speaker 36 (47:52):
Are we hiring people based on skills and experiences? Are
we hiring the based on character?

Speaker 35 (47:58):
It should be quality and not raising sex.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
And it clearly doesn't want to answer the question. Why
don't you go on?

Speaker 30 (48:05):
Now?

Speaker 4 (48:05):
He was asking for clarification.

Speaker 19 (48:07):
I think that's fair.

Speaker 34 (48:10):
This is a very very difficult conversation. I'm a great
granddaughter of someone who had a literal yoke on her neck,
a literal yoke. And I will give the four and
a half minutes of my time to my people from Malvern, Arkansas,

(48:31):
from those fields. And I want to be clear that
four out of the five of you last year posted
on your social media.

Speaker 17 (48:45):
The words of doctor King.

Speaker 37 (48:47):
And there are so few folks who actually have studied
who are clear on the theology of freedom of King.
Very few of you have read and studied and have
sat in Ebeneze or Baptist church.

Speaker 1 (48:58):
So I would ask you.

Speaker 37 (48:59):
You keep doctor King's name out of your mouth. If
you like me and the many scholars who will be
watching studied King. You know that he and the mothers
and the fathers of the civil rights movement and of
the movement for emancipation not only would be struck by
the conversations in this room, but would be shattered by

(49:23):
the consequence of lives of hatred, of abuse of this
administration in the name of folks who worked to make
this country more free. Children of Abraham for real. I
want to be clear for the young people that are
listening today here in this audience, this conversation is not

(49:43):
about an acronym. It's just not, it's just not. This
is a conversation. It's an attack. It's an attack on
what you see right here. Now see who's on this
side of the diist. This was never the plan. It
was never the plan to have people of color in

(50:04):
positions where they would be able to speak from this place.
In fact, in fact, folks had to fight tooth or
nail to gain access to the front door to this capital.
I want to be very clear about that. Today's hearing
says quietly and actually out loud, who the majority believe

(50:26):
is allowed to belong in this country. They use doctor
King's name in deep vein. Who has a place in
the hierarchy That was never meant to be questioned. The
majority is leading a coordinated effort. I want to be
clear to push us back to a segregated America based

(50:47):
on race, based on ethnicity, based on national origin, based
on sex, based on sexual orientation and.

Speaker 1 (50:54):
Gender identity, and.

Speaker 37 (50:55):
Disability inclusion as a disabled woman. They have been very
very clear including folks who look different than the standardized
white man in this country, folks who are disabled, folks
who love differently, those folks should not be at the
center of power.

Speaker 1 (51:11):
That's the plan.

Speaker 37 (51:12):
They are motivated by a fear, a fear of a
multi racial and a multi cultural democracy, a fear, a
fear that freedom of coequal citizens living as their authentic
seals with pride, and a fear they have a fear
of accountability. We must name this conversation today for what

(51:35):
it truly is.

Speaker 1 (51:36):
It is a bigotry, It is a hypocrisy.

Speaker 37 (51:38):
Republicans, like I said before, will quote doctor King all day,
will bring forth Lincoln, and we'll talk about Frederick Douglass
in the same breath that they are gutting civil rights
offices in our governments, in the same breath where they
seek to ban ap African American studies. That tells the
true story of this country. It ain't just one story.

(52:02):
It is a complete story. But folks on this diists
don't want you to learn it. The hypocrisy from the
Republicans is not only shameful, it is anti American. President
Trump and others have purged more than two hundred and
seventy five thousand federal workers through mass terminations and unlawful firings.
While check this out, preparing draft hiring guidance that would

(52:28):
screen job applicants for political loyalty to the administration rather
than the Constitution.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
The Trump administration.

Speaker 37 (52:36):
Put five hundred thousand qualified, qualified federal workers with disabilities
jobs at risk.

Speaker 1 (52:44):
Half of those are veterans.

Speaker 37 (52:45):
The Trump administration has forced out transgender service members who
have served their country with loyalty and love, while elevating
dangerously unqualified news anchors to lead our nation's defense apart,
the Trump administration rewards loyalty over expertise, obedience over justice.

(53:07):
These attacks are central to a broader agenda. Let me
just finish this one sentence that criminalizes protests, that bands
books that are racist history, and redefines its national identity
and narrow and violent terms a nineteen fifties America is
what the goal of this conversation is. And some of

(53:27):
us say, hell no, I yield.

Speaker 4 (53:35):
You ain't no studio to beat you.

Speaker 1 (53:37):
You in church. I don't want those studios South, I
want a church sound sound.

Speaker 29 (53:50):
Hey, she took him a church break, Greg, she took
him at church.

Speaker 1 (54:00):
Talk. Come on, bring it down. That's how you suppose.
That's how you do that.

Speaker 7 (54:04):
Grid Well, God bless Latifa Simmons. Congresswoman Simmons I wouldn't
do that, because I don't give a damn about that.
He'll Billy from Central Virginia, And if I were to
see McGuire in person, I probably would pass him by
to a press conference roasting him. He means he's beneath contempt,

(54:25):
So God bless her for that. I tell you, thom Man,
it's it presumes that they don't know. In the case
of McGuire, who was a Navy seal and you know,
and came all this stuff, he sidenly clearly has the
intelligence to know better, unlike somebody like Tommy Tuberville, who
is brain damaged apparently.

Speaker 8 (54:47):
But I think there's the other option. I may or
may not know.

Speaker 7 (54:54):
But more importantly, it isn't germane to my agenda. I
have the power, and so therefore you can make the
most compelling logic case that you would like. I'm still
gonna do what I'm gonna do. There's only one way
to stop this, y'all. We have to be organized and
we have to act politics right, including in the next
tac of the ballot box, Whetherativa Simmons did. That's great

(55:15):
to show to some young people what we're seeing from
some of the Democrats, Jimmy Raskin, Jasmine Crockett, we're seeing
civics lessons. If you want to package that and put
it on a platform and teach young people civics, fine,
But them people there as Malcolm Xics say you're speaking
in the language the don't understand.

Speaker 1 (55:30):
But here's the tho though, I believe that what she's
doing and what congress Woman Jasmine Crockett does, and again
I couldn't come and look what we're seeing from the
guy who just wants the Democratic primary in New York
is understanding the moment and what people are looking for

(55:51):
right now. They are looking for fighters. They are looking
for people who are not going to back down. It
may be folks who say, I don't even agree with you,
but unless at least you showing some fight, at least
you're showing something. And see, and I'm about to walk
through this because I'm gonna show you a couple of things.

(56:14):
I'm gonna show y'all, and everybody's gonna talk about it.
But but I need people watching to understand what we're
talking about. How you present, how you how you speak,
how you leverage your voice is important because the folks
sitting at home are saying, if y'all want me to
get off the couch, if y'all want me to go

(56:34):
walk door to door, if y'all want me to canvas,
if y'all want me to phone bank, you've got to
give me something to work with. And the regular ass
boring Chuck Schumer, same ol, same o. I ain't swinging
for that, that ain't moving me, that ain't fighting for me.

Speaker 8 (56:51):
You know.

Speaker 1 (56:51):
And the Dems, I think, made a huge ass mistake
by not picking Jasmine Crockett as the ranking member on
the House Oversight Committee. Y'all roll her this week.

Speaker 38 (57:10):
It's interesting that we're being accused of wanting all kinds
of criminals to be on the streets, or that we
don't believe that people should show up to their meetings
and appointments. Last time I checked, there's a lot of
people that are actually being grabbed as they are going
in for their appointments. In fact, we know that one
of the candidates that was recently running in this may
oral he ended up being arrested because he decided that

(57:32):
he was actually going to escort people that are actually
showing up to their meetings. Or we know that the
Pope yes, the Pope himself decided that the church may
need to have people that are going to escort people
as they're going into their meetings because the reality is
that what they are claiming what they want to do
versus what they're actually doing, the actions don't match up.
And while we are supposed to be talking about visas,

(57:54):
somehow we continue to cherry pickens talk about one criminal
act and another criminal act. And it is so very
interesting to me that, yes, we will say people are xenophobic,
because when you start to decide that just because somebody
came from another country, they are automatically some kind of criminal,
that does sound kind of xenophobic to me, because you
are using a paint brush to paint an entire group

(58:18):
of people where the vast majority of them are coming
here because they are actually seeking a better life. But
let me get to what this hearing is supposed to
be about. The idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues
want to restore integrity and security and the visa process
is actually a joke.

Speaker 10 (58:32):
Let me be clear.

Speaker 38 (58:33):
Integrity is not snatching lawful visa holders off the streets
and throwing them into unmarked vans. Integrity is not revoking
visas based on social media posts. That hurts somebody's little
feelings because kids decide that they want to go after
Trump or this administration. We have a thing called free
speech in this country. And since we're talking about integrity,

(58:53):
I'm confused as to why my Republican colleagues aren't talking
about the lack of integrity when it comes to the
President's families via visas. Let me remind y'all that Milania
the First Lady, a model. And when I say model,
I'm not talking about Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford, or Naomi Campbell.
Level applied for and was given in eb one visa.
And what that stands for is in Einstein visa. Now,

(59:17):
y'all that don't know, let me tell you how you
receive in Einstein visa. You're supposed to have some sort
of significant achievement like being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize
or a Pulitzer, being an Olympic medalist, or having other
sustained extraordinary abilities and success in sciences, arts, education, business.

Speaker 23 (59:36):
Or athletics.

Speaker 38 (59:37):
Last time I checked, the First Lady had none of
those accolades under her belt. It doesn't take in Einstein
to see that the math ain't math in here. Nevertheless,
what Republicans are doing with this reconciliation process, the travel
bands and revoking visas, jeopardizes our national security.

Speaker 10 (59:54):
It threatens our.

Speaker 38 (59:55):
Communities, our higher education, and our economy. Visa's like the
largely vetted javisus for higher education and m visus for
trade training, attract the next innovators, medical providers, researchers, and
educators that we need to build on American success. I'm

(01:00:16):
not gonna mess up your name, so I'm not doing it.

Speaker 10 (01:00:18):
But I'm with you, okay.

Speaker 38 (01:00:22):
In your experience, do individuals on JAY or m visus
typically improve or impair our economy?

Speaker 39 (01:00:28):
They generally improve the economy. And I can give a
brief example. My wife is a very successful woman. She
makes a ton of money, which I'm grateful for. And
the reason why we're able to do that while having
three children is because of the old Paara visas. Somebody
who is here on a j who is here and
able to supply this for us. But I also want
to defend Malania real quick. Not everybody could marry Donald Trump,

(01:00:51):
and I think that's quite an achievement. So I think
she deserves credit for that. Nobody up here could have
done it.

Speaker 40 (01:00:57):
You show right, I couldn't do it anyway.

Speaker 38 (01:01:00):
But in fact, Jay visa holders contribute forty three point
eight billion dollars to the US economy and support more
than three hundred thousand jobs. And make no mistake, immigrants
improve the health of US citizens too, Despite the fact
we already have a doctor's shortage. Trump's reckless travel band
and visa overhaul are exacerbating this crisis by impairing hundreds
of hospitals with foreign trained doctors set to do their

(01:01:22):
residencies here in the United States, meaning fewer people will
get the help they need and more people will die. Now,
let me remind you that Republicans are trying to gut Medicaid.
Roughly four point five million people receive caregiver services through Medicaid,
and most of these folks are in Red states.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
And wouldn't you know that in.

Speaker 38 (01:01:38):
Twenty twenty three, Kaiser Family Foundation estimated that almost thirty
percent of long term care providers or home caretakers were immigrants.
It's like Republicans want Americans to suffer. Now, Republicans say
visas make us less secure. But let's talk about how
you visus visas given to victims of crimes like rape, murder,
human trafficking, torture, abduction.

Speaker 23 (01:02:00):
To help law enforcement with.

Speaker 38 (01:02:02):
Their investigation or prosecutions of these crimes. These folks are
risking their own security for broader safety of Americans and
our communities.

Speaker 3 (01:02:11):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
To Greg's point, you had lots of policy in that.
Take a shot at Milania. It gets clipped and picked up.
People learn from that. Now. If y'all want to see
boring ass, traditional typical, ain't never going to get retweeted,
repost it on Instagram, TikTok, nothing this bullshit.

Speaker 41 (01:02:37):
We are here with an urgent message. Republicans right now
are attempting to jam through a bill that would present
the largest loss of healthcare and food assistance in American history,
and why all to pay for tax cuts for millionaires
and billionaires now. Just a few weeks go, the nonpartisan

(01:03:01):
Congressional Budget Office confirmed that if their bill becomes law,
it will be six.

Speaker 1 (01:03:09):
Come on, I can't even play the whole ninety seconds
of that boorn ass video. Look like he got two
hostages standing right next to him. Why did why did mom,
Mom Donnie win in New York. Y'all want to know
now why he won watch this.

Speaker 19 (01:03:27):
New York is suffering from a crisis, and it's called
halala inflation. Today, we're gonna get to the bottom of this.
How much does a plate of halal cost right now
from this truck?

Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
Ten dollars ten dollar Chickenovo ten dollars.

Speaker 19 (01:03:46):
When you're a street vendor, you have to pay for
the food, the plates. How much do you have to
pay for your apertmit?

Speaker 1 (01:03:53):
You afford twenty two k joining seventeen.

Speaker 19 (01:03:56):
So how much does a license cost if you get
it from the city?

Speaker 1 (01:03:59):
I think four hundred.

Speaker 19 (01:04:01):
Who are you paying? You're not paying the city, No, no, no,
you pay the perman owner twenty two thousand dollars just
so you can sell this food. Yes, and who is
this a random guy? Have you ever applied for a permit?

Speaker 1 (01:04:14):
Yeah, I'm oblying. I'm no comme anything. It's long wait
number three thousand, eight hundred something.

Speaker 19 (01:04:22):
After two years, your number three thousand, eight hundred. Yes,
these are the four bills that are sitting in the
city council right now, which would give these vendors their
own permits and make your hallal more affordable. But Eric
Adams hasn't said a single word about them. If you
own the permit, then how much would you charge for
the plate?

Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
Seven dollars eight dollars?

Speaker 19 (01:04:41):
Would you rather pay ten dollars for a plate of
helal or eight dollars eight dollars eight dollars?

Speaker 10 (01:04:46):
I think eight dollars a way to go.

Speaker 19 (01:04:48):
If I was the mayor, I'd be working with city
council from day one to make halal eight bucks again. Okay,
tastes like ten bucks for the shiv eight.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
See look at your face, racy. That's what we're talking about.
You have to message. You have to walk people through,
explain to them in a way that they understand. And
it's not standing at a podium saying grocery prices have
gone up, the middle class is hurting because of Trump.

(01:05:21):
My colleagues will come up next to further explain how
the Republican bill is going to hurt all Americans. Ain't
nobody watching that boring ass stuff?

Speaker 19 (01:05:35):
That shit?

Speaker 31 (01:05:35):
Look he had me sold. I was like, wait a minute, now,
wait a minute. Eight dollars a deathly baty ten dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:05:40):
But he took, he took. A ninety second video showed
you the food, showed your real people, talked about permit,
talked about who they paying, what the price was, showed
the bills, and you like, damn all that's going on.

Speaker 6 (01:05:57):
Yeah, now that was brilliant.

Speaker 1 (01:05:59):
That was brilliant.

Speaker 31 (01:06:00):
It was personal, it was policy. It was connecting the dots.
It was showing the implication of government for people who
are so disaffected and disillusioned and just think it doesn't
matter who's in office, it doesn't matter what government does.
It showed a very tangible, relatable reason why it does matter.

Speaker 6 (01:06:17):
So that explains, like.

Speaker 31 (01:06:19):
You said, a lot of what his appeal is because
he is connecting the dots for people who just don't
think that it matters. I don't want to go back, though,
to Congresswoman Latif Assignment, because she really is sensational. She's
not just great in terms of being able to dismantle
that racism and that ridiculous hearing, but I want to
shout out legislation she put forward because you know, she

(01:06:40):
is legally blind, and she put forward a legislation to
provide mobile vision services for students. That's the kind of
legislation that doesn't often get touted. But I think she
deserves so much. And then obviously we all know that
Congress from the Crockett she broke it down and made
a plan.

Speaker 6 (01:06:58):
The reality is.

Speaker 31 (01:06:59):
That we need to reach people who don't get that
government can work. They don't get what's not working about
government and why they don't get why the people that
they send to government can actually help it make work
better for them. And so the more that you have
Democrats out there who actually know how to talk to

(01:07:20):
regular people. And we're not talking about just the white
man diner, working class diner that Bernie Sanders has been
trying to get for the past however many years and
still lost to presidential primaries and got fewer votes in
Vermont than Kamala Harris, but he trying to bring her
up on the negative. We're talking about regular, schmegular ass people,
the people that make the difference between Democrats winning and

(01:07:42):
Democrats losing. That's what we need to be focused on
reaching those folks.

Speaker 1 (01:07:47):
And look, listen, this week, Nola, the Democrats chose congress
Or Robert Garcia to be the rank com member of
the House Oversight Committee. Frankly, leadership did not want Crocket.
They took a vote there that game that told the
members how to vote. She then drops out. They let Garcia.
Now Robert Garcia from all own the stairs, A great guy.

(01:08:11):
I ain't never heard of him. In fact, he is
great in fact. Yeah, but here's but here's the deal.
Though I ain't never ever used the clip of Robert Garcia.
I can't even remember coming across in terms of these
hearings now Latifa, Uh Summer lead Crockett, uh Frost, my man,

(01:08:36):
I can't remember him. The guy from Texas, the new
guy from Texas. I've seen that. I'm like, okay, I'm like,
I who you? And again I'm flipping through right now,
I'm going through his twitter feed. You know what I see.
I see come on, sweat, y'all. I see MSSMBC clip.
I see I see mssmb C clip. I see MSNBC clip,

(01:09:03):
I see MSNBC clip. I see MSNBC clip. I see
MSNBC clip. And I'm just simply saying, say, dog, if
you want to sit here, if you want to sit
here and reach some folks, then you gonna have to
sit here and talk to You're gonna have to talk
to some nonsources. And I don't know what they're doing

(01:09:26):
why they are in terms of why they chose them.
And I've seen a lot of these stories. Noah, Well,
you know, I'm not quite sure what went down. They
don't like Crockett, this, that and the other. But guess what,
she raising more money than them in demand is communicating
in a way where a new generation is appealing to them.

(01:09:49):
And so where I come from, I'm gonna get the
ball to the person to my shooter shooting who's hooping?
Like if I'm playing ball, I mean, you might be
a good rebounder, but if she's scoring, yo, I'm passing
you the rock. I'm putting you in position to score.

(01:10:12):
And I don't know what's wrong with the Democrats. They
sort of want this nicety and I don't want you
to be too loud, and I don't want you to
be too aggressive. I don't, I don't. I'm not understanding
what their strategy is. Maybe you got some better insight
because I don't know.

Speaker 23 (01:10:31):
Well, you're not gonna like, but I'm gonna say Robert's
a friend.

Speaker 1 (01:10:35):
That's fine. He could be a friend. He could be
a friend. I ain't never heard of his ass, But
go ahead, I just said, listen, we can start singing
a whine as a friend. But I'm just simply saying
I ain't never heard of his ass, but gone ahead.

Speaker 33 (01:10:50):
Well, first of all, Robert ain't that nicey, not that sweet,
and he is a fierce defender for the lgbt q
I A community, which is he's gone viral multiple times
for happened back before actually Representative Crockett actually got to Congress.
He was actually the one keeping foot on neck with Marjorie.

Speaker 23 (01:11:07):
Taylor Taylor Green.

Speaker 33 (01:11:09):
But honestly, how I feel about it if it wasn't her,
I'm glad that it is him.

Speaker 23 (01:11:16):
He's a very skilled lawyer, he's a very skilled.

Speaker 33 (01:11:18):
Communicator, and like I said, he is a fierce defender
for his lgbt q i A community. And he was
a very effective mayor and Long Beach and so you know,
while when I attended reci and Clay's town hall, when
Representative Crockett kind of made the statement about she wasn't
the favorite, my worry was, Okay, who's going to be

(01:11:42):
the favorite? And when it was Robert, I actually I
was okay with that because he's not nice, he's not sweet,
and he will keep that energy and take it to you.

Speaker 1 (01:11:52):
So I'm gonna need to see it then, because thus
far I ain't seen it, and I spent a whole
lot of time I'm pulling clips and watching stuff, and
I'm just saying that's just me recy real quick before
I got to go to comments on my app.

Speaker 31 (01:12:09):
Well, look, he's in the crosshairs at the DJ because
he made a joke of Elon mustick picks and hearing,
and so they want to prosecute him for that. So
he's definitely under the skin of the people of their administration.
He definitely got that fire. I'm team Jasmine Crockett, but
I'm also team Robert Garcia.

Speaker 6 (01:12:24):
He ain't no slouch. Keep an eye on them.

Speaker 1 (01:12:27):
That's fine. He might not be a slouch, but I
need I need to see him on fire. I'm just
simply saying I don't see and you will, Okay, all right.

Speaker 6 (01:12:37):
Telling you i'mnna send you a clip. I'm gonna send
you a clear.

Speaker 1 (01:12:39):
No, no, no. I need to see more than a clip.
I need to see a body of work.

Speaker 6 (01:12:44):
I also do a body of work.

Speaker 1 (01:12:46):
I need to see a body of work. Because all
I'm saying is, if you democrats across the country, who
you asking to come speak at your Democratic fundraising dinner.
Are you asking Garcia? Are you asking Crockett. I'm just
simply saying, I'm gonna put I'm gonna put my hot
I'm gonna put my hot folks in position, and I'm

(01:13:06):
not gonna have them on the sideline, on the bench.
I'm putting them on the court. That's all I'm saying.
All right, y'all?

Speaker 8 (01:13:12):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (01:13:13):
But she did no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
hold up, no, she didn't drop out. The race. Leadership
took a vote and they signaled to all the members,
how we want you to vote. And then once she
saw that, then it was let me drop out. That's all.
That wasn't No, that wasn't no normal dropout. That's out. No, No,

(01:13:35):
that ain't how I went that. How I win? Roland?

Speaker 8 (01:13:38):
I think I think the strategy.

Speaker 4 (01:13:40):
I'm not.

Speaker 8 (01:13:40):
I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (01:13:41):
The Democratic Party isn't in shamble. It is what it
always is. It's the place we can use to advance
our interests. It's a song right now, it's just party.
So there's several things going on here we all know.
Of course, it's reported that they wanted Stephen Lynch the
seventy year old. So what they did yesterday was break seniority. Yeah,
penning that when they're in the majority and Crockett can

(01:14:03):
run again, is the chair the ranking member ain't got
a whole lot of power. They got they bomb throw
us on both sides over there. Let them talk, we
talk about the clips. We don't hear the cheers, especially
when they're in the minority. I think there is a
strategy at play here, but but it's because people like Mamdannie,
whose father is a famous africanis who was born in Uganda.

Speaker 4 (01:14:22):
The people like.

Speaker 7 (01:14:22):
That are forcing the Democrats to have to choose. This
is what brace Anderson. You gonna get down with these
young people in these progressives. Are y'all gonna have no
party because we're gonna take your part. They're using the
Democratic Party as as a host, and that's the way
you have to use these parties.

Speaker 1 (01:14:35):
Well, I'm gonna need to I don't need them to
be living more fired up? All right? Uh Iran, all
this drama bombing nuclear newclear sites. You got Trump and
head said Tom about all we obliterated that, but we
can't really back it up. It's all kind of nonsense.
But the question is where do we move forward? Where
do we go?

Speaker 8 (01:14:55):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:14:55):
That was a security hearing. Members came out of that
saying we ain't seen the evidence they keep talking about.
There were number of senator senators who said that Congresswoman
alm My Adams of North Carolina joined us right now,
and congress Woman glad to have you first of all,
let's get her signal glad to have you on the show.

(01:15:15):
You know the thing here, a lot of people are
literally a lot of folks are literally worried about what's next.
You've got Trump and head Seth painting this picture of
how amazing and beautiful and unbelievable and fantastical all this
stuff was. But we also know both of them prone

(01:15:37):
to lie and just make stuff up. So the question
is what do we make of this congresswoman, what do
we make of what's going on? And can we really
trust these two liars to tell us the truth?

Speaker 40 (01:15:54):
Well, thank you, Rowland's good to see you, and yes,
you always have a very spirited show.

Speaker 8 (01:15:59):
I was enjoying the conversation.

Speaker 40 (01:16:06):
As the fact we we have not heard, uh, the
results of anything.

Speaker 5 (01:16:12):
We haven't had a briefing.

Speaker 37 (01:16:14):
Uh.

Speaker 40 (01:16:14):
The briefing that was scheduled was wash was postponed, first,
it was canceled, and now it's back on for tomorrow.
But we're also told that we're gonna tell you some
of it, but we're not gonna tell you all of it.
So it's it's it's really in terms of the trust here,
I'm not sure that what we'll get will be the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Speaker 1 (01:16:36):
Blaming Democrats for leaking information, but the same White House
was proud to say they didn't inform Democrats about what
was going down, And you can't have it both ways.
How you gonna how you're gonna accuse somebody of leacoln
But then you were proud to say, we never told them.

Speaker 40 (01:16:52):
That's right, we we Democrats were not informed. Uh So
if the leak, if there was a leak, it didn't
come from from Democrats, it came from the administration more
than likely, or it came from the Republicans that they
shared information with. Now, this president has said in his inauguration,
I'm going to be a president for all the people,

(01:17:14):
but he seems to focus primarily on the Republicans, and
even when you look across this country, in every district,
you've got Democrats and Republicans and some people who claim
no party affiliation, so I just think, you know they're
going to have to step it up. There will be
a lot of questions. I'm sure tomorrow we'll see if
they are going to be any answers.

Speaker 1 (01:17:37):
Obviously a lot of folks are concerned here, and here
really is the question that people want answered. Does the
United States do whatever Israel wants us to do? Or
are we actually operating in our best interest? I mean,
that's a question that I hear from lots of folks

(01:18:00):
about about what's going on here. We've got having an
issue with the congress woman's signal, so hopefully it comes back.
But that's something that people keep talking about, that is
what decisions are we making? Are we making decisions in
the best into the United States, or is it whatever
Israel wants to do then we just do well.

Speaker 40 (01:18:21):
Certainly Israel has been not only a partner but an
ally uh And I've supported this rule and I still do.
But I do think in this particular case, we we
haven't heard from the president in terms of what the
goal was, and I think always we have to as
the president, he does need to operate with the with

(01:18:45):
the best interests of the US at mind in mind.
But having said that, I still think in terms of
our allies, we have.

Speaker 8 (01:18:56):
To be supportive. But in this case, we still.

Speaker 40 (01:19:00):
Don't know what happened truly, uh, and to what extent
they were successful. We've heard that different different different comments
about from different people about well yet was successful another
term intelligence, another term people on the street will use

(01:19:21):
another term. So, uh, you know, we'll we'll have to
we'll have to challenge this administration. And I think they're
going to see that on tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:19:31):
All right, then well, look, you know, we'll see what
happens next. Again, there's nothing I trust from lying down
Trump and line Pete Hicks at nothing absolutely.

Speaker 40 (01:19:42):
Well, if you think about it, Roland, everything the President says,
whoever's in his administration, they repeat what he says. So
it's almost like hearing him over and over and over again,
because if you don't say what he thinks you should
say and then support of him, uh, your fire. You know,
he's used to saying that in the show he had

(01:20:03):
your fired. So I think a lot of folks are
going to be moving along if they don't completely agree
with what he has to say.

Speaker 1 (01:20:12):
Well, it absolutely is a cult, That's what it is.
And so keep fighting a good fight. We appreciate it.

Congress people, you got free health care paid for by

Hi, I'm doctor Jackie of A Balance Life. Think about
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 Dendre Whitfield

(01:22:17):
leads an all star cast and panel to answer these
and many other probing questions.

Speaker 1 (01:22:23):
A woman can't teach you how to be something that
she's not.

Speaker 42 (01:22:26):
That's on the next A Balance Life with Doctor Jackie
on Blackstar Network.

Speaker 4 (01:22:32):
What's Good?

Speaker 21 (01:22:33):
Jonnie is Doug e fleshing and watching my brother Roland
Marty underbuilt it as we go with a little something
like this hit it.

Speaker 4 (01:22:44):
It's real, all right, folks.

Speaker 1 (01:22:51):
More questions with regards to the twenty twenty four election
and whether or not it was legitimate. Various analysis have
been done. People have been saying, waiting, hold up, how
in the world could Donald Trump win all of the
battleground states. Pew came out with their breakdown of the
election today and they literally said that even if there

(01:23:13):
was a dramatic increase of folks who voted in this election,
Donald Trump would have still won. That's perplexing because folks
talk about how well if you Republicans even say, if
there's an increase in people voting, it favors the Democrats. Well,
a leading expert election forensics, doctor Walker, doctor Walter Mbang,

(01:23:36):
Junior or the University of Michigan, has found what he
says is statistical evidence suggesting potential vote manipulation in the
twenty twenty four presidential election. His report analyzed seven million
votes across all sixty seven Pennsylvania counties and found that
between twenty five thousand and two hundred and twenty four
hundred and forty votes in the presidential race could have

(01:23:58):
been fraudulent. Result support the findings released by the nonpartisan
Election Truth Alliance. Nathan Taylor, the executive director of the
Election Truth Alliance, joins us right now, Nathan, glad to
have you here, so walk us through this. And there's
somebody's watching who's saying, all right, this is system because

(01:24:19):
Donald Trump was saying it was rigged in twenty sixteen,
rigged in twenty twenty now as this is just the
left saying it was rigged against them in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 9 (01:24:31):
Thanks so much for having me again. A lot of
fun times we've had in the past. It's felt like
just yesterday, but it's been months now. So a little
bit about my background. As you said, I am one
of the executive directors of the Election Truth Alliance, a nonpartisan,
nonprofit organization that is we kind of put it together

(01:24:51):
to investigate the twenty four election, pasted elections and future elections.
And I think what's important here is, as you said,
is there's been a lot of talk about this recently,
but I do want to highlight what we're specifically talking
about and the findings of doctor Walter Meben This is
not voter fraud. This is election fraud. And the difference

(01:25:13):
is voter fraud is from people who may cast their votes.
Election fraud is specifically a concern of a system or
a systemic issue that's changing how people vote against their will.
And I think that's what's important is the work that
I've been doing in the ETA and all of our volunteers.

(01:25:35):
It's focused on are there concerns of our systems and
are they free and fair? And you know, what can
we do to dive deeper? So to kind of highlight
that for North Carolina, we did prepare a nice power
point and some data points for you. I don't know
if you have that available or not. But let's talk

(01:25:58):
a little bit about doctor Walter Meben, his findings in
his background. If you're familiar, if you're not familiar, he's
honestly like one of the leading election fraud experts in
the United States and in the world. Honestly, he was
a part of a team that USAID actually provided a
grant and he made a election fraud toolkit that has

(01:26:20):
been applied for multiple elections. He has wrote papers for
previous elections I think twenty nineteen, and he actually looked
at the twenty twenty presidential election as well and found
no significant concerns of election fraud benefiting the winning candidate. Then,
so what is really interesting is not only has he

(01:26:43):
brought up his own concerns for Pennsylvania, which we've published
our findings on our website as well, but we have
also worked with him for North Carolina and he's provided
us his analysis of North Carolina, the entire state. Let's
see if we can get any visuals up. If not,
we'll do this the old fashioned way. Let's see.

Speaker 1 (01:27:06):
Yeah, yeah, So here's what I have up. You have here,
why analyze North Carolina? And you say layout here? For example,
when comparing presidential to presidential to Superintendent race, Kamala Harris
received one hundred and twenty two thousand, two hundred and
thirty one fewer votes than Maurice Green, while Trump received
one hundred and ninety one thousand, four hundred and seventy
more votes than Michelle Morrow. Now, for folks to understand,

(01:27:29):
this is what happened. North Carolina. Democrats won the governor's mansion,
Lieutenant governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, superintendent, and the
Supreme Court race. But Harris lost the White House, and
people are like, how in the hell did that happen?

(01:27:52):
So now go right.

Speaker 9 (01:27:53):
Ahead, yep. And so what this is highlighting is this
is kind of that overview you're familiar a lot of people,
such as smart elections. They talk about drop off votes.
I like to call them down ballot differences, and that's
what you're highlighting is all across the swing states for
the twenty twenty four presidential election, the Democrats won up

(01:28:14):
and down the ticket, but then Harris loss at the
presidential level. And so what's really interesting is we initially
started digging into that before we got into the more
advanced statistics such as what doctor Walter Mevin does, And
we're just highlighting here that all across every county in
North Carolina, just to begin, we're seeing that Harris is

(01:28:37):
always underperforming the Democrats on the same tickets. So we're
talking in this case, we're looking at the superintendent race
and we're seeing that she is getting up to one
hundred and twenty two thousand less votes across all of
these counties. But Trump, on the other hand, is he's
always overperforming his party candidates.

Speaker 1 (01:29:00):
So you have right here, first, down ballot analysis twenty
sixteen North Carolina presidential versus superintendent. And so what you're
showing here, and I'm just going to zoom in here,
the this.

Speaker 9 (01:29:11):
Is twenty sixteen, right, So the blue.

Speaker 1 (01:29:13):
Is damn, the blue is damned, the red is Republican.
And so what you're showing is, so we see these
blue these blue lines below zero. So explain what that is.

Speaker 9 (01:29:25):
Yep. So what we're looking at here is the zero
line is the amount of votes the superintendent got for
both parties. And then if you are above the line,
as you said, the blue is Democrats. In this case,
it was I believe Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen. So
if you're above the zero line, you got more votes
than the superintendent of your party.

Speaker 1 (01:29:44):
So that was tw that was twenty sixteen, yes, But
then we go down to twenty twenty.

Speaker 9 (01:29:50):
Yeah. Well what's really interesting, as you'll see in comparison
is twenty sixteen, both candidates on average were overperforming. They
were both sitting pretty solidly across the and it was
very very back and forth. Right, some of them had
more votes in some areas. Some we're sitting a little lower.
We don't see a lot of negative votes here, we
don't see a lot of negative drop off. And that's
what's important is we think if this is what a

(01:30:12):
more normal election looks like across a state, every county. Now,
let's look at twenty twenty four and here that is
they were starting.

Speaker 1 (01:30:24):
That is a stark difference in Wait a minute, Comet,
switch to Nola. Nola's over here going oh my god.

Speaker 9 (01:30:33):
Yeah, this is just the beginning. Because in this case
this is North Carolina. We're seeing this trend across a
majority of the swing states. We're talking the more interesting
ones as well. Pennsylvania for their election day voting looks
very similar. And so what's important here, As we said,

(01:30:54):
the zero line here on the left axis zero is
the amount of votes the superintendent got. And if you're
above the line, you got more votes. If you're below
the line, you got less.

Speaker 8 (01:31:03):
Folks.

Speaker 9 (01:31:03):
In each of these lines, there's a red and a
blue line per county. And so what's important here is
we are seeing across every county in North Carolina, not
one county, not one county that I think there's technically
one where it's such a small underperformance that it shows

(01:31:23):
almost nothing. But yeah, I can't even s every county,
Harris is underperforming the superintendent in the entire state, in
the entire state.

Speaker 1 (01:31:35):
But if I go back to sixteen, this is sixteen,
and you see one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen.
Matter of fact, is easier to count a superintendent race.
So out of all the counties in North Carolina in sixteen,

(01:31:58):
so the blue below zero superintendent, right.

Speaker 9 (01:32:01):
The blue below zero is the presidential Hillary Clinton is
the presidential.

Speaker 1 (01:32:06):
So only in one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
nineteen eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen,
twenty two, twenty three to forty five or six, So
twenty eight counties in twenty sixteen, Hillary Clinton was below
to superintendent. Correct.

Speaker 9 (01:32:24):
What's what's correct? Important that you're that correct?

Speaker 1 (01:32:27):
Yeah, that's twenty eight, just twenty eight, twenty four every.

Speaker 9 (01:32:31):
What's important, though, as you said, is when you look
at twenty sixteen, you see that both candidates overperformed.

Speaker 8 (01:32:37):
Right.

Speaker 9 (01:32:37):
See, in some places the Democrats overperformed significantly, and they
were exceeding the amount of overperformance the Republicans had.

Speaker 1 (01:32:45):
But in twenty four there is zero overperformance.

Speaker 9 (01:32:49):
Yes, and that's what's important is this does not match
what you would expect to see as normal human voting behavior. Wow,
this is you consistent across every county, there's no variation.
This raises alarms of potential systemic manipulation where they.

Speaker 1 (01:33:09):
Would go, go ahead, I'm sorry ahead.

Speaker 9 (01:33:11):
And so as you said, systemic, when we talk about
systemic is people go and they vote, and per county,
it's going to be a little bit more random. Systemic
manipulation is going to have an impact across multiple counties,
multiple precincts, which normal human voting behavior can't do. You
can't coordinate at that level. So what would cause this? Right,

(01:33:34):
that's the question is what would cause in this case,
Harris to underperform so consistently across every county in North Carolina?
Do you have any thoughts there's some.

Speaker 1 (01:33:44):
Common I mean, that's that's I mean, it's to your point.
And this is the thing that people this is this
is impossible like that, Like there's listen, they're a number
of counties, especially in the black built in North Carolina,
where there are a significant Remember Obama wins North Carolina

(01:34:05):
by fourteen one hundred votes in two thousand and eight.
There are a lot of counties there where there are
a lot of black people. This is saying, Nah, nobody
liked her. She underperformed across the entire state everywhere.

Speaker 9 (01:34:26):
Yeah, and what the concern here is, sure, you could
have a candidate that's unpopular, but this is too consistent.
This is far too consistent, and we have more if
we go back up to the quantifying potential impacts. Let's
talk a little bit about doctor Walter Meban and his findings,
and we have hard numbers for you. We have estimated

(01:34:48):
if this is caused by a systemic issue, let's say,
for example, your deleting votes. And so we've raised concerns.
The ETA has raised concerns about the tabulation machines used
across the US. There are vote counting machines and then
there are voting machines. They're not the same thing. And
that's what's confusing for a lot of people.

Speaker 1 (01:35:09):
Is this what you want to the quantifying Yeah, this is.

Speaker 9 (01:35:12):
Great, and so we are concerned and we are diving
deeper into the machines that count the votes. And to
quote a individual on his pre inauguration night. He thanked
a certain very involved individual that knows a lot about
vote counting computers, and they won Pennsylvania like in a landslide.

(01:35:32):
So what we're going to highlight here is, as you mentioned,
doctor Walter Meban. He's a professor at the University of Michigan.
He runs the Department of Political Science and Statistics. He
is in our like we have looked, he is the
leading expert in election forensics in the US. There's not
a lot of people who have more experience than him,
that have done more. He's wrote multiple papers, he is

(01:35:55):
cited by a newspapers, and he is kind of held
up as a credible source of election fraud analysis. And
so he has his own model that he has made.
It's called the forensics and he has been developing this
and using this, and he has applied it to Pennsylvania
and has applied it to North Carolina, and he's provided

(01:36:17):
us with those reports. He's put the Pennsylvania analysis up
on his website. But in this case, we've not released
North Carolina yet. No one has seen this yet, so
we're going to talk about it. So what he did
is he analyzed the statewide data for North Carolina we
did the same. We use a different analysis method, it's

(01:36:37):
not as advanced. It's called linear regression analysis. We just
look at the trend what is human voting behavior? And
then are there patterns that are not normal for a
human to display across every precinct And that's kind of
what we do. We do it at a county level.
We add it all up. So his analysis for North
Carolina a working paper that he shared with US, it estimates,

(01:37:00):
based on his model, up to two hundred and six
two hundred and seven thousand possibly fraudulent votes. There is
a caveat that is the higher level. He has a
stronger confidence or a high confidence of one hundred and
two thousand or so votes, and so he does categorize
his votes by how likely they are from you know,

(01:37:24):
malicious activity, to voting patterns, et cetera. But what's important
here the margin of victory for Trump in North Carolina
at the presidential level it's one hundred and eighty three
one hundred and eighty four thousand votes. So if that
higher estimate is caused by potential of the vote manipulation, deletion, addition,

(01:37:46):
whatever could be caused at the tabulation level, that would
be enough to change the outcome of the presidential race
in North Carolina. Any questions there.

Speaker 1 (01:37:58):
So what jumps out of me is does anybody give
a damn? Is it our Democrats saying anything, or independence
saying anything, or folks just going we don't want to
sound like conspiracy theories. We don't want to sound like them.
So we're just not going to address this at all,

(01:38:20):
because what you're laying out is saying that if that
happened in twenty twenty four, whatever that system, it could
happen again in twenty twenty eight, in thirty two and beyond.

Speaker 9 (01:38:34):
That is the concern we've raised time and time again
is if this is caused by the tabulation machines being
messed with, It's not been resolved, it's not been investigated.
And that's really what we're doing, is we're highlighting it.
I have spoken to multiple different states organizations, you know,
We've reached out to multiple political parties. And it's not

(01:38:58):
that they aren't interested. It's not that they aren't willing
to listen. The problem is they're not willing to talk
about it. They're not willing to help us investigate. They're
not willing to help us get recounts or audits to
make sure does the physical votes, does the vote that
the voter cast match. What we're getting told is the results.
And that's what's frustrating, is it's I feel like such

(01:39:23):
a taboo because of the last two and four years that,
as we said, this is an election denial. This isn't
us saying, hey, the elections are stolen, let's go storm
the capitol. This is us saying, hey, our process is
potentially flawed, let's investigate it, let's make it better, and

(01:39:43):
then we go from there. And it's not that hard
to do. The reason why we're doing this and we're
putting out these reports and we're highlighting these concerns is
we're saying, hey, we've told you where to go. Look,
work with us. Let's go look. Let's go open up
the ballot boxes, let's go hand count the ballots, and

(01:40:05):
if there's a problem, we'll find it and we can
go from there. If there's not a problem, our elections
are free and fair. It hurts no one. We've raised
donations to not only pay for those recounts in the time,
but also to potentially fund lawsuits if we can't get
people to come to the table such as what we're
trying to do in Pennsylvania is we've reached out to

(01:40:25):
the Secretary of State there multiple times, presented him with
our findings. Doctor Mebin has a report as well for Pennsylvania,
and now I can pull that up here in a
moment in terms of the numbers. But we're saying, hey,
if there was manipulation, it was potentially so much to
change the presidential race in Pennsylvania as well, and we're
getting silence so far.

Speaker 1 (01:40:46):
Well well, and keep in mind Republicans in North Carolina
what they did was they removed the authority over the
state election board from the governor, lieutenant governor, Attorney General,
Secretary of state and gave it to the state auditor
because that's the only that's the only state by position
they won. Questions from our panel, No of your eyes

(01:41:08):
have been like wide open for the past ten fifteen minutes.

Speaker 23 (01:41:11):
So you go first, yeah, wow, so many questions.

Speaker 33 (01:41:17):
I'm a political scientist, so my mouth is a gape
and my question was actually going to be did you
run any regressions? And you've already answered that question, so
I guess you know, for me, this seems very different
from leaning into Russia, you know, had something to do
with the election. For me, I am looking at hardcore data.

(01:41:39):
There's no variation. There's enough information here to definitely ask questions.
So is the next step and what you all are
trying to do is exactly what you're doing tonight, to
take this case to the media, to take this case
to the public, to then maybe put pressure on some
of these states so some kind of investigation can her.

(01:42:00):
Is that part of this strategy that you're deploying right now.

Speaker 9 (01:42:05):
Yeah, we have. At this point, we're kind of doing
two things at the same time. Is one, we're putting
out these reports, we're talking about it publicly, you know,
trying to make people aware of the concerns. And then
the other half is we are trying to work with
the counties and the states to get those audits done.
I will say we've had some places that aren't in

(01:42:26):
where we've made public kind of willing to work with us.
But what's important is the chain of custody is really
important because the physical votes is what we're after, and
we want to make sure those are maintained well so
that if there is a recount and an audit of
them We're confident that those are what people originally cast
and that's what we keep pushing for, is just trying

(01:42:47):
to raise awareness. As I said, we have the data,
We're going to keep putting out the data, and we're
more than happy for people to review this. We have
a dashboard up on our website where you can actually
go and download the data for Pennsylvania, and when we
put out our North Carolina report, hopefully next week or so,
you can go and download the data and you can
do these analysis yourself. You can do it a regression
analysis yourself, as you said, and spot checking.

Speaker 1 (01:43:12):
Racing.

Speaker 31 (01:43:14):
Thank you for presenting this data. I'm a data girl,
so I do appreciate it.

Speaker 17 (01:43:18):
I'm curious.

Speaker 31 (01:43:19):
It sounds to me like you do think that the ballots,
the physical ballots, would say something different. So is it
your hypothesis or the range of hypotheses that this is
a hardware issue in terms of the vote tabulation, or
could this be multiple pronged or could it be the
reporting aspect from even if votes are tabulated correctly, when

(01:43:44):
that is reported, those results of transmitted, that that is
where this manipulation is happening.

Speaker 6 (01:43:51):
What are your thoughts on it?

Speaker 1 (01:43:53):
So?

Speaker 9 (01:43:54):
I will first say that we don't fully know in
terms of all the options. There are multiple ways that
this could have happened. The leading theory we have that
we've tested time and time again and is seemed to
hold up so far, as we said, is we're concerned
that the tabulation machines themselves depending on brands. There's only
two major brands. There's technically a handful of major voting

(01:44:17):
machine brands and polling system brands, but the top two
spans seventy percent of the US, and I will say
that the places we found manipulation do happen to use
those major brands. And the concern, as you said, is
we are worried that if there is a compromise of
the tabulation system malicious activity a third party, we don't

(01:44:40):
truly know. It looks the same on paper. All our
analysis says is, hey, there are these anomalies and they
are occurring in such a way that this match is
election potential. Election fraud seen in Russian elections, seen in
recently Poland elections, and Poland just recently had some finding
where they found there were not only concerns of election fraud,

(01:45:04):
but they went and they did recounts and they found
I think over ten or twelve polling stations so far
where it swapped the outcome of those locations.

Speaker 1 (01:45:13):
You said seventy percent of voting equipment compromise nationally. Go
back to the graphic, and then you said the voting
technology brand I Prevalence was used in ninety three of
the one hundred counties in North Carolina.

Speaker 9 (01:45:29):
So as you said, there are two major brands, but
there's a third and a fourth that we do see
pop up. What is important here is there have been
concerns of the compromise of these systems. For example, Free
Speech for People had multiple cybersecurity and computer tech experts
write a co author of paper and talk about compromising

(01:45:52):
concerns back in twenty two and earlier. We've dug into
this as well. We are seeing concerns going back to
twenty sixteen. For example, in Florida, there were two different
counties that reported malware on some of their voting system
some of their systems they have and I will highlight this,
and this is what is important is the common argument

(01:46:14):
we hear as well, our voting systems aren't connected to
the internet. My background is in cybersecurity, I was a
twenty five Bravo computer tech specialist in the Army Reserves
and then became a signal officer in the Army Guard
after got my degree. I've looked into how we're running
our systems. I have concerns because the largest tabulation system

(01:46:34):
and poll book system we use does potentially have modems
in them, cellular modems, So I think it's inaccurate to
say that they're not connected to the Internet and you
couldn't do something. There are so many opportunities to mess
with systems. The only way to make sure that they're
not being messed with is making sure we do appropriate audits.
Those audits are double checked by third parties and then

(01:46:56):
physically looking at the votes as well and doing some
handcounts where they're our anomalies. And that's what we're doing right,
is we're highlighting here are the anomalies. Let's go look.

Speaker 1 (01:47:07):
Great.

Speaker 8 (01:47:09):
Thank you Roland, and thank you for this report.

Speaker 7 (01:47:11):
I kind of just I'm starting to glance through Professor
Merbin's Pennsylvania numbers, and they are quite stunning. Thinking about
the Donald Trump back in March, I guess when he
was talking about Elon Musk knowing these computers, these these computers,
these voting computers, and look we ended up winning Pennsylvanian landslide.

Speaker 8 (01:47:33):
And I love how you know.

Speaker 7 (01:47:35):
Trump doesn't retain a whole lot in his mind. So
when he repeats a phrase like vote counting computers, he's
moved from voting machines to something quite different. Maybe, and
so maybe you previewed for us where you all aheaded.
I'm wondering if it's too early to talk lawsuits. I
don't know necessarily who approved standing are you hoping maybe

(01:47:55):
through these audits and to get down maybe two I
don't want to say a smoking gun, but a chain
that would allow a voter. I'm sure they throw it
out and say, well, you can't prove your vote was manipulated.
Or I think the phrase that he uses is subject
to what's subject to mal what is it malevolent manipulation?
I'm like, damn this, this is a strong langue for
an academic. But could you imagine a lawsuit at some point?

(01:48:16):
And it's so what might look like?

Speaker 9 (01:48:19):
So the excellent question. I can, and we've kind of
planned out some of those concerns as we push forward.
Lawsuits are honestly kind of the last resort, Right, we
want to work with the counties so that they are
willing to do these investigations. The states are willing to
do these investigations because lawsuits are slow and they give
a lot of time that we really don't have. Right,

(01:48:41):
We're already six seven months into you know, this term,
and the midterms are just around the corner. And if
these machines aren't being looked into and there are problems,
then the midterms are potentially up next. So what would
a lawsuit look like at this point? As you said,
it comes down to standing what can we prove and

(01:49:03):
is statistical analysis enough evidence to really open those ballot boxes.
We found that no one knows. This has not really
been done at this level before. The closest examples we
have are two and four years ago, and those didn't
go very well. I think sixty plus lawsuits and none
of them really got good results. But in that case,

(01:49:25):
so for us, I think what we'll do first, and
as we've been doing, is we're pushing for some targeted
recounts in places where we are finding anomalies. If those
audits and those recounts show the concerns that we are seeing,
then that actually think of it as a domino effect. Right.
If we prove this happened anywhere that our analysis brings

(01:49:47):
up anomalies, then theoretically anywhere that our analysis shows anomalies
could have been manipulated as well. And I hope that'll
open the doors. For example, we recently did an analysis
for Minnesota. I had someone personally send that analysis off
to individuals in Minnesota, and so hopefully they are willing

(01:50:08):
to come to the table as well. And I do
have some numbers. I think we were looking at potentially
up to eighty eighty eight thousand anomalist votes in Minnesota,
even though Minnesota was won very handily by the Democrats.
So I think what's important is if this happened, if
there's a compromise of the tabulation machines, it didn't just

(01:50:31):
happen in places that it needed to change the outcome.
It potentially happened anywhere that these systems are being used,
and that makes it easier on us to go and
work with places that may be or willing to sit
down and ask these questions and do the work to verify.

Speaker 1 (01:50:51):
Thank you to that point about Minnesota, remember a lot
a lot during the election, you kept hearing, Wait a minute,
is minisol in play. It's Minnesota in play. You heard
all of that, and folks talking about how Minnesota has changed.
And so I think to your point, you take a
blue state and you're able to examine this and show
what happened, then you can say, hey, let's look elsewhere.

(01:51:16):
It is absolutely fascinating. Hopefully these county elections, state election
and folks will listen and just want to get to
the heart of the matter, because you just look, Republicans
keep talking about the integrity of the ballot box. Well,
let's see if they actually mean it. Nathan Taylor, we
appreciate it.

Speaker 9 (01:51:32):
Thank you very much for having me.

Speaker 1 (01:51:34):
Folks. You see right here Electiontruthalliance dot org. You see
right here there QR code scan to donate. Let me
blow that up. And so if you want to support
their work, that is their QR code right there. Going

If we don't stand up for medicaid now, in spite
of my honorable military service, the Senate will kill my child.

Speaker 13 (01:52:02):
I want the people that are trying to take this
away from us to put yourself in our seats, Congress.

Speaker 14 (01:52:08):
People, you got free healthcare paid for by the people,
and then you don't want the people to have the
same thing you have.

Speaker 4 (01:52:16):
That is sick and we must challenge it.

Speaker 15 (01:52:22):
This bill will deny millions of people the healthcare that
they need.

Speaker 16 (01:52:28):
This is policy violence.

Speaker 17 (01:52:30):

need to put people in cages in order for other
people to have jobs.

Speaker 23 (01:52:49):

New Jersey college woman, please not guilty to assault charges.
Lamonica Macira faced the federal judge on Wednesday to answer
charges made by the Department of Homeland Security agents while
visiting the Delaney Hault Attention Center in Newark that took
place in May nine. The complaint filed by Homeland Security
UH says that she intervened and interfered in the official

(01:53:35):
duties of these agents. Now, this of course was the
same location where Mayor Baraka Newark was arrested as well,
and of course Ice Barbie Christy nome Uh said they
were going to go after all of the individuals there,
included also Elena Baba, Trump's awful, awful choice for us

(01:54:00):
turning again, they said she had typical to thwart the
arrest of Mayor of Baraka as she slammed her forearms
the body of one agent and forcibly struck another. After
her court appearance, she addressed her supporters, I.

Speaker 43 (01:54:14):
Just left out of court and pleaded not guilty because
I'm not guilty, and you know we will fight this.

Speaker 24 (01:54:21):
Yeah, at the end of the day, this is all
about political intimidation.

Speaker 43 (01:54:27):
The Trump administration and his of you know, him and
his colleagues or pronies, whatever you want to call them,
have weaponized.

Speaker 24 (01:54:36):
The federal government.

Speaker 43 (01:54:38):
They've weaponized the Department of Justice, and anybody who stands
up to them, anyone who criticizes them, anyone who fights
back against them, find themselves. And these hairs that we're
in today, in this moment of time that I'm dealing
with right now, and that does not.

Speaker 24 (01:54:54):
Stop me from doing my job.

Speaker 1 (01:54:58):
At the end of the day, we.

Speaker 24 (01:54:59):
Went to Delaney Hall for oversight visit.

Speaker 43 (01:55:02):
The members of Congress have the right to hold these
agencies accountable, and that is what we went to Delaney
Hall for.

Speaker 24 (01:55:09):
We did not go there to protest. We did not
go there for any of that.

Speaker 43 (01:55:12):
We went here to make sure that this facility was
up to part and the detainees there we're getting due process.
And this is what occurred out of all of that.
We've seen different cases of cases of this administration bullying
and intimidating elected leaders, from judges to anyone that gets
in their way.

Speaker 24 (01:55:33):
This is what they do and we will not stand
for it.

Speaker 21 (01:55:37):
I will not stand for it.

Speaker 43 (01:55:39):
They will not attimidate me. They will not stop me
from doing my job. I will continue to do what
the people of the tenth Congressional District.

Speaker 4 (01:55:47):
Elected me to do.

Speaker 43 (01:55:49):
I continue to stand up for New Jersey because we're
better than this. That's no to Trump hateful policies. They
won't continue to do that. We will not do that
to inch and every one of you who are here,
who continue to express your First Amendment right, who continue
to stand up to this administration.

Speaker 1 (01:56:08):
Do not back down, back down what they.

Speaker 43 (01:56:13):
Want us to do, and we will not do that.
So we look forward to the next time at court.
We're gonna take this all the way through. They know
they're wrong, and we're gonna put them on because the
facts are on our side. No matter what headline they
tweet about, no matter what they put on their Twitter,
we know that the facts are on my side, and.

Speaker 1 (01:56:31):
We're gonna be a poor After she left New Jersey,
she went to the rotunda there Centurary Hall, I'm sorry,
and those impromptu news conference as Democrats stood with her
and address the media saying they're not going to allow
her to go through this by herself. And so her
trial is set for November tenth. All right, folks, in Texas,

(01:56:54):
the Grand jurid there's had indicted a black team who
stabbed the white team, and they track meet that ten
has been indicted on first degree murder. Chargers Camlo Anthony
admitted stabbing seventeen year old Austin Metcalf. The maintains it
was in self defense. Collin County DA Greg Willis called
Metcalf's death a violent loss that shook the community. The
confrontation in Poorly began when Anthony sat under Metcalf's high

(01:57:17):
school tent during a weather delay. After Metcalf repeatedly told
Anthony to move, Anthony warned him not to touch him.
According to reports, Metcalf then grabbed Anthony, prompting Anthony to
stab him once in the chest. Anthony is out on
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars bond and was allowed
to graduate from high school. Anthony's attorney, Mike Howard, call
the indictment and expected routine step in the legal process.

(01:57:40):
A trial date has not been set. All right, folks,
this is this one here. I saw this video and
I said, I got to play this for our Thursday panel.
And when you want to talk about disdain for the
twice impeached, crimly convicted Felon han Man in chief, I

(01:58:02):
just love this black woman. Okay, So let me explain
something to y'all. This grandmother here, they went to doctor's
office and they were trying to do a cognitive test,
and they asked her a series of questions and they asked,
and y'all know, I do not refer to that orange

(01:58:24):
stain of the title of president. And this sister right
here clearly watches Roland Martin unfiltered.

Speaker 9 (01:58:31):
Roll it.

Speaker 5 (01:58:34):
I'm like, what's the president name? I'm Sheryl. You just
say it and the ain't get on over it. Just
say his first letter? Nothing, mom, you got I don't

(01:58:55):
like him?

Speaker 44 (01:58:56):
Okay, we know I don't like him name or no name.

Speaker 41 (01:59:01):
And I don't like him.

Speaker 44 (01:59:03):
We know that, we know, we know that, but you
have to tell her because she asks you, and this
is part of your test.

Speaker 5 (01:59:17):
What his name is?

Speaker 39 (01:59:21):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:59:21):
Okay, well what's his first name?

Speaker 29 (01:59:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:59:29):
Sorry, that's that's that's that's my feeling.

Speaker 1 (01:59:32):
Okay, Okay, I'm real petty, so uh roll that one
more time.

Speaker 5 (01:59:51):
Don't like what what's the president name?

Speaker 16 (01:59:53):
I'm sure.

Speaker 5 (01:59:56):
You just say it and ain't get on over it.
Just say his first word? Nothing, Mama, you got n
I don't like him.

Speaker 44 (02:00:13):
Okay, we know I don't like him.

Speaker 5 (02:00:18):
Name or no name. I don't like him. We know that.
Oh he's he's.

Speaker 1 (02:00:24):
We know.

Speaker 5 (02:00:26):
We know that.

Speaker 44 (02:00:29):
But you have to tell her cause she asks you,
and this is part of your test.

Speaker 5 (02:00:34):
What his name is?

Speaker 16 (02:00:38):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (02:00:39):
What what's his first name?

Speaker 29 (02:00:40):
Nothing?

Speaker 5 (02:00:46):
Sorry, that's it. That's that's that's my feeling.

Speaker 1 (02:00:50):
Okay, nothing, yo, No, I'm with her. I'm with her, dammit,
y'all should have asked for the governor or the mayor.
But she like, no, I ain't naming his punk ass.

(02:01:12):
She said, I have not called the candy man over here.
She said, I will not did both the devil today?
Lord right, that's exactly what she said. She said, I
will not. Mama, Mama, my mama would have did Mama
just say his name? She like, recaid, she don't give

(02:01:35):
me that. She's like, no, we're gonna sit here. We
gonna have said. I think she passed the cognitive test
absolutely she did.

Speaker 31 (02:01:45):
The whole thing is, do you have your faculties around
you and if you have the discernment to know that
Donald Trump ain't ship, then you absolutely passed the coind
of to test with flying colors. It just reminded me
a Bernie said, not Bernie center, a Bernie man him downstairs.

Speaker 17 (02:02:02):
You know, like, I'm not even gonna.

Speaker 1 (02:02:03):
Say on am you just him downstairs.

Speaker 31 (02:02:08):
Because cubs you had cookies and ship?

Speaker 6 (02:02:12):
Yeah, m downstairs.

Speaker 31 (02:02:14):
I'll go ahead, Granny, I ain't even mad a what
you want to say or don't Greg.

Speaker 1 (02:02:19):
When I saw that video I said, oh, hell, yes,
I'm rolling that one on the show.

Speaker 8 (02:02:26):
No.

Speaker 7 (02:02:27):
Absolutely, you know she was sitting there. She looks like
like my my mother. Uh, I could see my mom
like like you said, no, I can see my mom
doing the same thing.

Speaker 25 (02:02:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (02:02:38):
Of course, now on the pain of being marked somehow
mentally diminished, and God only knows what that triggers. But
as I was sitting there, as we were sitting there,
I'm looking at that nurse, their white nurse sitting there,
who eventually says, I'll take nothing. But I'm thinking how
many people in the United States of America where there
are still I think that white nurse we saw is

(02:02:59):
maybe one of maybe five or six left white nurses
in the country. And of course are the ones who
are not white. How many of them are immigrants We're
all about to find out. But I'm thinking about that
lady sitting there and saying, what if that was a
waiting room or an examination room in Iowa or rural Mississippi,
what was in rural Alabama? And while there may be
some jokes in that room, when it's time to come
out and pay the bill and you realize your medicaid

(02:03:21):
has had its throat cut.

Speaker 8 (02:03:22):
It's not funny games.

Speaker 7 (02:03:23):
So I just couldn't I couldn't help but think about
the humanity of everyone caught up in this racist world.
We just got news, of course, that the Senate people
are like, hey man, you can't do this to this
bill and it be legal, at least it will violate
Senate policy, and so we may be in for a

(02:03:45):
hell of a ride. But at the end of the day,
they've been trying to get carveouts for those real hospitals.
They're trying to pinch off some money here and feed
their maga constituents. But all I saw in that room
was a woman who could be my mother saying I
ain't doing that, and as a dutiful child, me saying okay,
and a white woman sitting on a stool. And that
might represent a constituency and places in this country in
a minute, you want me to have that conversation. It

(02:04:06):
won't be no jobs saying I'll take nothing.

Speaker 9 (02:04:10):
We can get along.

Speaker 8 (02:04:12):
If we ain't got no money.

Speaker 7 (02:04:13):
It could be that that sister would jump off that uh,
that examination table and choke that white woman if it
comes down to her losing.

Speaker 8 (02:04:21):
Her her covert. We well, we can all be kei
ky and I'll take nothing or the bell can ring.

Speaker 7 (02:04:27):
We ain't got no money at that point, all this,
you know, feel good gonna turn into a fight.

Speaker 1 (02:04:32):
See, I'm just I'm just not interested. I'm not interested
in any of the nonsense. See I'm not about see
I have zero tolerance for those folks. I'm just telling
you right now. It's just like, I don't know how
many y'all saw this video. Uh, this black woman was

(02:04:53):
in an auto automotive place in North Carolina and they
were talking and and June Team came up and she
heard the conversation and she was like, oh, hell no,
bring me my car. Y'all watch this.

Speaker 5 (02:05:07):
We're over first office.

Speaker 4 (02:05:10):
Then we're here.

Speaker 5 (02:05:12):
Yeah her when I went to the.

Speaker 1 (02:05:15):
Can turn audio up.

Speaker 5 (02:05:20):
Step where the banks closed?

Speaker 30 (02:05:29):
Car Ju team, you holiday they did.

Speaker 16 (02:05:37):
What you did?

Speaker 11 (02:05:38):
I know right?

Speaker 1 (02:05:40):
My chart?

Speaker 5 (02:05:43):
Please what my rock? Get getting my teeth show?

Speaker 43 (02:05:46):
I want to let's go get my should Thank you.

Speaker 5 (02:05:54):
Yes, I du house.

Speaker 1 (02:06:28):
I thought it had something to do with reparations. Now, Recie,
the company thought that they were doing something by saying, oh,
we're gonna post a video our selves, they made it worse.
And guess what, folks, were like, don't get your car
fixed there. I'm with that, sister. No bring my ship around. No, No,

(02:06:51):
I am not giving y'all money. Y'all want to sit
here and mock June teenth. Yo, we out period.

Speaker 31 (02:06:59):
If you want to kick, then you can get my
motherfucking kids because I'm not getting I'm not getting my
service here, You're not taking my money.

Speaker 6 (02:07:07):
I don't even see what's funny about you.

Speaker 31 (02:07:09):
Y'all need to be more ashamed, because what the Republicans
have been saying is that if you teach people about
the history of slavery in this country, that white folks
is gonna feel so ashamed of themselves.

Speaker 6 (02:07:19):
Little white kids gonna have low self esteem.

Speaker 31 (02:07:21):
So instead of key can, you should be sitting up
there saying you get a free oil change today.

Speaker 6 (02:07:26):
You'll get a free oil change today, but only if
you black.

Speaker 1 (02:07:30):
Y'all. The place the place is called is that's Wilson,
North Carolina, and the place is called Synergy Auto Care.
Synergy Auto Care, and yo, listen, I'm a greg. It's
been several places I fly in airports. Matter of fact,
I remember I went to go pick up my my

(02:07:51):
my navigator from the dealer and they had Fox News,
y'all got to change TV.

Speaker 8 (02:07:57):
Oh wow, No, I.

Speaker 1 (02:07:58):
Don't play that. If I got to sit my ass
in this waiting room, ain't nobody watching Fox News.

Speaker 23 (02:08:04):
I'm kind of the same.

Speaker 1 (02:08:05):
I don't give a damn. I'm like, no, no, I'm
gonna need y'all turn the TV. And they might look.
I'm like, I ain't watching the Fox News. Y'all gonna
turn the damn TV? Now?

Speaker 8 (02:08:16):
Hell no, we ain't wait roll?

Speaker 1 (02:08:17):
My deal is that's how we gonna roll?

Speaker 7 (02:08:21):
Well, brother, I tell you, I'm sure you spend a
great deal of time getting TV's turned to special damn right,
I do you know, because I think that's the that's
the default channel on so many and I think that
there's a story behind that. But you know, yeah, like
I said, more power to you, brother, I just be
like what I put my EarPods in.

Speaker 8 (02:08:42):
I don't even But but yeah, I heard what you're saying.

Speaker 7 (02:08:44):
And that's and that's the strategy we should we should pursue.
I mean, we have to make noise, just like their
sister did. I'm not gonna spend my money here, you know.
I think today is the data anniversary of the Data
Cress that King started Martin the King Center. And I
think about those who would say, there are ways to
build bridges with these folks. We can reason with them,

(02:09:05):
and we can try to figure things out. And there
are people non black people. You know, we just got
news today that Bill Moyers, the great journalists, may transition naturally, Yes, sir,
And I think about now, here's a guy who hip
in the Johns administration, worked inside government, but also became
a journalist who spoke truth to power, and he's a
white man.

Speaker 8 (02:09:25):
There are ways to do that.

Speaker 7 (02:09:26):
But if you can't appeal to people's morals and you've
given them chance after chance, and then they're in a
situation where they think they're in power, which means they're
not thinking about you, and they say something like that,
then yeah, I'm not gonna argue with you. I'm leaving now.
And now the real test would have been who else
got up? But guess what they went on right back

(02:09:47):
to their life?

Speaker 14 (02:09:47):
Why?

Speaker 8 (02:09:47):
Because we don't count?

Speaker 7 (02:09:48):
And to all you negroes that think that your master
is somehow going to love you, you should probably run that
paper that clip right there on the loop. Not just
what she did, but in a few seconds we saw
after when nobody else got up and walked out, and
there's the problem.

Speaker 1 (02:10:01):
Well i'll we'll, we'll close this out. And there was
this other video where black woman was called a bitch
by the waitress and man folk lit that bar up
and then the owner comes out. You know, try, don't apologize,
trying to explain away. We're getting harassed. We getting the

(02:10:22):
phone calls. H they sitting here giving us bad ratings,
and folk like now now when going to your bar,
see this, see know the thing that I keep I
need our people to understand. That's called economic withdrawal. We
don't have to spend. I talked all the time about

(02:10:44):
MLK sermon on April third, nineteen sixty eight, and he
makes it and this is what he said. He said,
win got throw the miletop cocktail. We ain't gotta raise
our voices, he said, we just withdraw our money. He said,
if you not gonna do right by us, we're going
to take our money elsewhere. And that's what we're doing.
A target. You've got that boycott that's all week with McDonald's.

(02:11:07):
You've got people who are using their power. The reality
is this here. We don't have to spend our money
at places where we ain't respected and so absolutely and
penalize them, light them up on social give them awful ratings,
throw a picket up at the joint. Let everybody know,

(02:11:28):
don't come here where they got some ignorant foods here.
And this is how you make them pay. You make
them pay at the pocketbook.

Speaker 33 (02:11:38):
Absolutely, and we've seen it be effective, right, And I
think we need the next iteration. We need the next
step to this because we see this administration gutting small business,
you know, business loans and opportunities for small business owners,
especially black folks, to get loans to open these businesses.
So we need to start thinking about how to build

(02:11:59):
upon momentum and build that infrastructure to give entrepreneurs and uh,
you know, small business owners resources to you know, to
open up establishments that can counter the myriad of things
that we are experiencing in these places. Because the economic

(02:12:20):
withdrawal is absolutely working. I'm very curious to see what
that's going to look like for McDonald's.

Speaker 23 (02:12:24):
That's going to be a very interesting test.

Speaker 33 (02:12:26):
But I think the next step of this is infrastructure
and investing in our own businesses because it's not gonna
it's not going to happen from the federal government. It's
not going to be support there, so we need to
start thinking about that part of it.

Speaker 1 (02:12:41):
Absolutely, absolutely go ahead.

Speaker 33 (02:12:44):
The one thing I want to say two quo things
about the video before that was that a sister who
stayed and she didn't like walk out with her. And
then secondly they continue the conversation and continue to demean
juneteing did.

Speaker 1 (02:12:56):
I get on? Yeah, they continue the conversation. I think
I think has something do reparations. That's what they said,
and so and so. Here here's all I have for everybody.
Watch it. I need y'all do me a favor, okay,
And I've done this before. If y'all gonna shoot videos,
h don't don't hear, don't shoot vertical. Don't shoot vertical, okay,

(02:13:19):
because see when y'all shoot vertical, we got black bars
on the side. I need y'all to shoot. I need
y'all to shoot horizontal and see and and and look.
If y'all gonn let me show, you'll come to me
say I'm helping y'all out.

Speaker 23 (02:13:32):
See.

Speaker 1 (02:13:33):
Let me just give y'all. This is a selfie lesson,
a video lesson. I want you to hold your phone
like this and see that way you can maneuver and
do me a favor. Keep that shit steady. I can't
stand some of y'all. Some of y'all shooting videos, and y'all,
come on, come give me the shot. Some of y'all
be done. Give me some of y'all be like, all

(02:13:53):
is here? See I need y'all to see that here steady,
Look how I'm holding it. See steady that way we
can see. Now, no, give me a shot of holding
the phone. See this here steady, y'all see how you
see what my fingers here? I ain't blocking the camera.
We ain't doing that. Matter of fact, some of y'all
can shoot with the camera up top. So just turn
your phone this way and had a camera at the bottom,

(02:14:16):
so that way your fingers are nowhere. But if y'all
gonna shoot, shoot, that's right, dude, shoot this way that
way your phone is locked. Y'all. See y'all see how
steady this is, and then come on give me the shot.
See this here your boom see win ain't shaking. W
ain't shaking. Then when they move right, I need y'all
to slowly pan. Then when they move left. I need
y'all to slowly pan. Okay, just do me a favor.

(02:14:39):
When y'all shooting these crazy cops and these carns and
all these folks acting a food, please shoot the horizontal
so we can That way it feels the whole screen
as opposed to shooting vertical. Then we got two black
bars on the side. That's just a psa right there.
So I'm just that's just like a little pet people
of mind, that pet people mind, just like folks who
use dji road microphones with a big ass fur ball

(02:15:01):
sitting on top, like we like, yeah, yeah, precisely, okay.
And for all y'all out there who don't understand television, uh,
that thing is that is called a wind screen. That
little furry thing is called a wind scream. That thing
is designed to reduce the wind. That's actually uh when

(02:15:26):
when it's you're outside and so you're not getting Now
it's a wind screen. So if you sit in your
ass indoors, okay, where there's no breeze where you are,
take the little furry chill pet looking as item off
and then all.

Speaker 40 (02:15:47):
Business.

Speaker 1 (02:15:48):
And then lastly and lastly, you can clip the microphone
on It is designed to clip onto your shirt, and
some of them actually have a magnet on the back
where you can slide it under your clothes and then
attach it to it. So if you don't want the
microphone in the shot, you can Lord the microphone. So

(02:16:11):
I'm just saying, I'm just saying what is I'm just
saying so, but you're sitting here looking all you sitting
here looking all yeah, yeah, I'm on the show. Uh
and uh yeah, I'm talking right into the furry dawn microphone.
I'm just saying, Lord, did you hear?

Speaker 8 (02:16:31):
Did you? But did you hear? I thought those seven words?
I'm here?

Speaker 7 (02:16:34):
What's the point of having cute nails? I think that
was the determinator?

Speaker 1 (02:16:39):
Ain't nobody watching your ass? For no? Damn Keith dails? Okay?
And if you and and it's okay, so okay, so
let me go ahead and teach you, nolah. If you're
gonna do television, okay, give me on camera three, give
me on camera three. So if you give me on
camera three, so see, no, let me explain something to you.
See you don't quite understand. So you see the screen

(02:17:00):
right here, you got the lower thirds right here, you
got the graphic down hit the bottle. I don't know why.
First of all, I don't know why we got a
democracy at risk. Lower third talking about the Grandma video.
Can y'all wait to held up in the control room?
Please please pay attention, So let me help you out, Nola,
when you're on television, because you talking to a hall

(02:17:20):
of famer. Okay, I'm only in five halls of fame, So, Nola,
those of us when we wear suits and cuff links,
if we want to show our cuff links, this is
what we do when we talk. We see it talking,
we sort of extend our arms, so you know, the
arms come out that way. All of a sudden, they
can see the cufflings. I know, I ain't I ain't done,
which I ain't done. Listen. So then then if you're talking,

(02:17:43):
you don't sit here and talk with your hands down.
And what you say is, well, I ain't you to
understand that one of the things that you can see.
You see how the hands are, You see how the
nails can be shown, You see how the red could
be shown. Then and then you can and then and
then you can and then you do one of these
boodles like that you do another move, you say, and
one more thing boom, finger goes up, nails being shown.

(02:18:05):
So you can do all of that without showing that
furry ass microphone. If you want to show your little
new nail jobs.

Speaker 6 (02:18:11):
All those little masculine moves that you just DoD.

Speaker 1 (02:18:14):
I'm just showing you. I'm showing you. I'm showing you.
I'm instructing you on how to do that on television
where it's not obvious and you're not sitting there going
to big ass wind screen. I'm talking right into it,
uh man. Matter of fact, matter of fact, I affected
black people in Saint Louis who gave me this fan.

(02:18:36):
See this is pa of why you need a furry
ass microphone if you've got a personal fan. So I no,
that ain't doing that saying Lord have mercy. I gotta
teach people how to stand television. We got all them
damn degrees, and we can't read a manual to understand
we're talking in a wind screen. See what happens. You

(02:18:57):
can have a PhD, a ED, an m B A
A agree, you can have every damn degree, you can
all of them letters behind your name, and you will.
You can't read a manual on how the microphone. Okay,
I'm done, Greg, then, thank you very much for being here.

(02:19:19):
Recy thank you for keeping cussing to a minimum. Wait,
I see just one time, so we appreciate.

Speaker 6 (02:19:27):
I did have one more thing to add.

Speaker 1 (02:19:29):
I did have one go ahead, go ahead.

Speaker 31 (02:19:33):
So I just have to add because we kind of
sped past the Congressman of Lamonica mc ivor. Point I
would be that this administration has been attacking elected leaders. However,
when it comes to the men, when you think about
Mayor and Ross Baraka, when you think about Colander, and
even when you think about Senator Alex Dia, they haven't

(02:19:54):
been charger.

Speaker 6 (02:19:54):
If they have been charged, the charters have been dropped.

Speaker 31 (02:19:57):
When it comes to women, when you think about the
Judge Hannah in Wisconsin and Congressom and Lamonica McIvor, they
are going full speed ahead with charging these women. And
it goes back to what I've been saying for years
that we already don't have citizenship in this country. The
Supreme Court today already ruled again that not only can

(02:20:18):
states discriminate against a planned parenthood for abortion services, but
also for non abortion care. And so what we're seeing
is an attack not just on the citizenship of women,
but of the leadership of women. They want to make
sure that women are subjugated in this country, whether that's
a woman in an elected positional position or a woman

(02:20:38):
in a judicial position. So I'm telling all the women
in this country you better wake the fuck up, because
they are not even nearly done yet and they are
not backing down from their war on women.

Speaker 1 (02:20:52):
You don't cussin, Thank you, Reesine. You're don't cussin. That
was only one cast rank okay, all right, thank you
very much. The I thought we had gotten I thought
we had gotten through with just one mf uh in
onef but we added another one to it. So all right,

(02:21:14):
thank you very much. Greg Carr, appreciate it. Thanks for
sitting in for me. On Tuesday when I was speaching
in Syracuse. I saw I saw some of our love
petty ass comments in the in the section complaining about
the audio that wasn't me. We had to we had
the line hooked up from the audio dudes, and so
I can't be running the camera standing at the day

(02:21:35):
of a podium. But it's all good because see what
happens is when you think in advance, you do that.
So I recorded my audio on my Dji microphone in
my damn pocket, Nola. I wasn't holding it with a
furry at a lap attached. So we're going to we
got clean audio there, so we're gonna drop that on
top of the video and then restream the speech so

(02:21:58):
y'all can actually hear it. And so we appreciate that.
And so that's how you got to properly use Dji
wireless microphones.

Speaker 23 (02:22:07):
Thank you, mister man.

Speaker 1 (02:22:09):
Yes, thank you very much. So Greg, thanks for sitting
there for me. Frat, I said, appreciate this. Matter of fact.
Hold up, I was in Saint Louis. Which phone did
I shoot this on? I was in Saint Louis last week.
Let me go go ahead and find this. Black people.
You know, black people are the king and queens of
shout out, I thought, I sent this to Greg. Hold

(02:22:30):
on one second, y'all, let me go here and do
this before we go. Then we really gonna get out
of here. Let me do this right here. So black
people love saying hey, can you tell so? And so
I said hello, and they all always I'm like, y'all, listen, listen.
I can't sit in here. So I just it happens
all the time. So I utilized technology, NOLA in order

(02:22:54):
to properly do those things. And so I was in
Saint Louis. On one second, let me go ahead and
first of all, let me flip this crop it properly.
Here we go, okay, all right? So, No, that was
a sister. She she wanted to say something, uh uh
Dion Cole. I think I send him. Yeah, y'all, don't

(02:23:17):
y'all don't understand what my life is like. You know,
I go places and black people got all kinds of
stuff to say. Uh, someoneman, but they said the same thing.

Speaker 31 (02:23:27):
Tell Roland.

Speaker 1 (02:23:27):
I said, what up? I know they wanted to know,
should tell him? So I just go ahead like that.
They know exactly why wody When you see them now,
they gonna be like, they gonna be like, no, put
that furry ass thing down with are they are?

Speaker 23 (02:23:45):
They gonna say, girl, you know it is so cute
and such a bully girl, you girl, you look cute.

Speaker 1 (02:23:51):
They always nobody gonna say that. Nobody, always nobody. So
I'm looking somebody somebody, and I said it. I thought
I sent to Greg because this woman was no.

So people paid to see me once every two or
three years on a big forty foot screen and they
don't think they know me. But you you on TV
every day, so people walk up to you like you

Speaker 3 (02:26:19):
That's the difference between them.

Speaker 1 (02:26:22):
Well, I'm I know I know we have this on video.

Speaker 4 (02:27:56):
And it was what not?

Speaker 1 (02:27:57):
And what he said was he said, he said, when
you on television every day, people they act like like
like that they friends, he said, because he said that's
how it was when he hops the BT Comic view. Uh.
And I have people see me they be like, hey,

does crack me up with growing to be like, yo,
what up Uncle Roll Roe.

Speaker 8 (02:28:25):

Speaker 1 (02:28:25):
And on that point, some of y'all black people, some
of y'all celebrities, get over your egotistical asses. If people
call your ass auntie or unk. It's a term of endearment.
They ain't disrespecting you, They not trashing you. It's a
term of endearment. And for somebody I had, some fool, Yeah,
