Folks.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
A year ago, Sean Grayson shot and killed Sonya Massey
in her kitchen. Now he goes to trial. A number
of potential draws filed into a courthouse in Peoria County,
Illinois for the trial of Sean Grayson. He is the
former deputy sheriff Okay in Singaman County. He was charged

(03:30):
with first degree murder in connection with the fatal shooting
of Sonya Massy that took place on July sixth, twenty
twenty four.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
He faces three charges.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Related to her death, including first degree murder, aggravated battery
with a firearm, and official misconduct. Now this is the
video right here, y'all, where he shot Massy in the
head responding to her nine one one call about a
potential prowler outside the home. Now, Grayson claims he felt
threatened when Massy moved. Moved, moved a pot of boiling

(04:02):
water on the stuff, turning all you up.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Listen to this, y'all.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
The water Yeah, I I butter apartment.

Speaker 6 (04:19):
No shoot your face.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Jump.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Shuts fire, jump shut, fart drops previous.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Now we're gonna heads off under the bottle of the shooting. Uh.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Grayson was terminated by the Sheriff's office. We also find
out that he had been fired from another police agency.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
In February.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Massey's family reached a multi millile settlement with the county
with regards to her dad. The trial is taking place
in Peoria after it was moved from a Singham the
county due to extensive me your coverage. Now you watch
that video, okay, and I can't wait to this when
you have cross examination.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
We don't know if he's gonna testify. He wasn't even
near her.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
She's literally across the room and she moves a pot
of boiling water on the stove. You see the video.
They could have easily backed up, backed away. He claims, Oh,
he was sitting here skinned for his life. That's the
reality of what it means to be black in America.
Only Congo to being a senior professer elector School in

(05:31):
National Service American University out of DC joins US right now,
author of Lives About Black People, How to Combat Racist Also,
Ashley Demi joins us out of Washington, d c H.
And we got another guests we'll be waiting to hook
up with. So only Congo, I don't understand at all

(05:51):
this get anybody you watch this video. It is ludicrous
for him to say, oh, my life was in danger
because she was standing across from the room with a
pot of water.

Speaker 7 (06:04):
Yeah, And it's like you said, I mean, this is
what it's like being us in America. You're assumed guilty
until proven innocent. But oftentimes with these types of officers
who have no business being on the forest, it shoot
first and ask questions later, if you choose to ask
any questions at all.

Speaker 6 (06:20):
You talk so many times on the showrole and when.

Speaker 7 (06:22):
We talk about various incidents about the roles of the
police officers, how are they supposed to be.

Speaker 6 (06:26):
The ones to calm things down?

Speaker 7 (06:28):
How they're supposed to be the ones to be the
quote unquote you know, adult in the room for lack
of a better term, if somebody's acting out, freaking out,
going crazy, intense.

Speaker 6 (06:37):
This woman was none of those things. This woman was
none of those things.

Speaker 7 (06:41):
And Massy made the call and so and the fact
that this man has worked at other places before. This
is one of the reasons why we fought so hard
to make sure that we have national registry of these officers,
because this shouldn't have been a job. You shouldn't have
had an opportunity to have the second time. Her family
did not deserve that, our community did not deserve that.
And this is just another example of these officers coming

(07:03):
in cowboy style, feeling like they just have the opportunity
in the ability to do anything. And this is what
Trump talked about when he's like law enforcement can just
run wild, and this is an example. We've seen this
many times before. Trump has said that, of course, but
this is the latest example of that. My thoughts and
prayers and any other support we can provide to this
family is necessary. But something has to be done to

(07:24):
these cops because, especially under Trump now, they're feeling more
emboldened to do things like this, and her family and
our community deserve better.

Speaker 5 (07:31):
Ashley, protect and serve, right, this is what they're supposed
to do. She was in her nightgown and she was unarmed,
So this is such a horrific story. She I mean,
I know, we have to have a court, we have
to have a try but this was clearly she was unarmed,
and this was clearly racially targeted. So I really hope
they get the book thrown at them, Like, look at

(07:52):
this in her nightgown like this. It was horrific, It
really was.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
It was.

Speaker 5 (07:58):
I think he made more of this and I guess
he used a hot water as her weapon, but it
definitely was taken out of proportion and we lost an
innocent life because of best.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Well, unfortunately, we've seen these things that happen time and
time again, and so again jury selection takes place in
this trial.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
And it will be will commence.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
We we'll see how long it takes place where the
trial actually begins. Let's go to a short break.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
We come back.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Government shutdown has taken place. We'll talk about that.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
Steve A.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Smith, why does he keep talking about consoling Jasmine Crockett.
I don't understand. I got to deal with this again
on the show. We'll be dealing with that. And plus
on today's show, the Partment of Homeland Security altering or
posting on social media and altered video. They don't fact check,
they don't care, and they're gonna put these young black

(08:51):
men in harm's way. Oh and Donald Trump is tearing
down a portion of the East Wing to build his
stupid ass ballroom. And he lied saying the White House
was never going to be touched. The liar lie, no shock.
You're watching Rolling on filter on the Black Shoot Network.

Speaker 8 (09:12):
Nicole Cole knows the cornerstone of a successful life starts here.
Virginia Public schools gave Nicole an excellent education. They helped
her become a small business owner, family financial planner, mother,
and community leader. Now, after four years on the Spotsylvania
School Board, Nicole is running for delegate to meet the
needs of all students. As our delegate, Nicole will fully

(09:33):
fund our schools, raise teacher salaries, and help graduating students
stay in our communities.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Nicole Cole for Delegate, for us for our future.

Speaker 9 (09:42):
Josh Cole became a pastor and delegate to serve his community.
That's why Josh is fighting to lower costs for families
hurting from inflation and make sure we can all afford
quality healthcare. But Sean Steinway has embraced his magabackers, who
support Trump's mass firing of federal workers and the MAGA
plan to ban abortion with no exceptions. We deserve better

(10:06):
than Sean Steinway.

Speaker 10 (10:09):
I'm Josh Cole candidate for delegate, and I sponsored this.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Ad in the military. I gave orders and they went
a lot further than they do around here.

Speaker 11 (10:19):
If there's one thing I've learned as a mom and
foster pan of more kids than I can count.

Speaker 12 (10:24):
Investing in their picture, isn't a choice in Richmond.

Speaker 11 (10:28):
I'll fight for Stafford's fair share for our schools, smaller
class sizes, better teacher pay, and more vocational training. I'm
Stacey Carroll, and I'll fight to get our kids'.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Future in order.

Speaker 12 (10:42):
Next on the Black Table with me Craig Calker Wi,
the America we live in today is not what the
founders intended or what they outlined in the Declaration of
Independence and even the Constitution. Professor and author Kermit Roosevelt
will join us to talk about his book The Nation
That Never Was. How history was misinterpreted the intended realities

(11:03):
of America's beginnings and missed a much better story in
the process.

Speaker 13 (11:07):
So, if you have to pick some group to marginalize,
I think it should be the people who are against equality.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
That's next on the Black Table. Right here on the
Black Star Network.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
It's your boy Earthquake, you know, giving Roland Martin something
to do because you know he don't know what to do.

Speaker 14 (11:21):
He's from Texas. Ain't his fault, all right, folks.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
It's a live look of the United States Senate where
they are going to be voting for the eleventh time
on a bill that would reopen the government until November
twenty first, that's right, military pay has once again become
a focal point as a Republican Senate Majority Leader John
Thum aims to pressure Democrats to support the truck back measure,
which is part of the GOP's strict shut down strategy.

(12:05):
Now the House, they're out of session again. Do y'all
understand that the House has literally been out of session
seventy two of the last eighty four days. They've worked
twelve days, that's it, twelve days, twelve days. And speaking
Mike Johnson, it's not like he gives a damn. And
so he keeps saying, well, no, no, you know, we're

(12:27):
in a pro former session, and so we're not going
to sit here and do any business until Democrats stop,
you know, stalling, and while they reopen the government. But
the reality is Democrats are standing firm on the issue
of healthcare, on the issue of health care, and that's
what's going on. And so what you got here is
Mike Johnson, of course, who also refuses to seat the

(12:52):
duly elected member of Congress from Arizona. Now, he was
on ABC this week on yesterday, John Carl pressed him
on this and then Johnson came up with another example.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Oh no, because you know his reason. Keep switching. Now
he's trying to blame it on Nancy Pelosi. Listen to
this idiot.

Speaker 15 (13:13):
You're gonna swear in Representative elect Adalite Agrahama as.

Speaker 16 (13:17):
Soon as we get back to the legislative session when
Chuck Sheermer allows us to turn the lights.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Back on, why haven't you done already?

Speaker 16 (13:21):
Because this is the way the institution works to I'm
following the Pelosi president. By the way, my dear friend
from Louisiana, Julia Letlowe, was elected to fill the seat
of her deceased husband because of COVID, Nancy Pelosi took
twenty five days to swear her in.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
By the way, are you say going let me stop you.

Speaker 15 (13:36):
Are you saying that Nancy Pelosi refused to swear her
in earlier?

Speaker 16 (13:39):
No, I'm saying that's my very point.

Speaker 15 (13:40):
Is this is because my understanding is that was the
date that actually the Representative elect letlow at the time
requested you know, she had obviously heard her.

Speaker 16 (13:49):
Okay, here's some more examples.

Speaker 15 (13:50):
Okay, no, no, but wait a minute, no, no, for
the Pelosi precedent. But Pelosi didn't delay that.

Speaker 16 (13:54):
No, let me give you more than president.

Speaker 15 (13:56):
Okay, and I'm about the Johnson president. I mean, you
swore into republic the day after their election.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
I'm happy to answer.

Speaker 16 (14:02):
I'm happy to answer Pelosi President pat Ryan Joe Simplenski.
They were elected during an August recess, so twenty one
days later, when the House returned to regular legislative session,
they were administered the oath. That's what we're doing.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
We're not in session right now.

Speaker 16 (14:14):
Repgahava was elected after the House was out of session.
As soon as we return the legislative session, as soon
as the Democrats decide to turn the lights back on
so we can all get back here.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
I mean, I will administer the oath on.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
You could swear in tomorrow, right, I mean no, not tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
No, we couldn't.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
We wouldn't.

Speaker 16 (14:29):
There was an exception for two Floridians earlier in this Congress,
but the reason was they were duly elected. They had
a date set, they flew in all their friends and family,
and the House went.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
Out of session.

Speaker 15 (14:37):
So if she flies in friends and family, then we
don't have a date set. She was elected, Okay, okay,
gps yah hit all that line did you write the lion.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Oh so it was see Pelosi did this year. Oh well,
my bad, I'm sorry. I know Pelosi did it, but
but well, okay, I got another example. It was so
like the see, okay, find another one. I got to
find okay, find another one.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Just to the ball in the air. That's all he's doing.
He's lying, y'all. He's lying. Johnson doesn't care. He's lying.
And see, and now Republicans want to play this game
of oh, so let's let's fund the military. So Democrats,
we're gonna blame you.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Well really, that's because you know, y'all are mad because
the military people are now jumping on your ass because
of what you've done. Uh, And so now they want
to sit here and play games and say, well, let's
let's let's at least fund the military.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
But I'm sorry, I'm weren't y'all just you know, over
here like not one of the fun. So, plus, this
thing is gonna happen through.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Mber twenty first, so that's just like, oh, I don't know,
thirty two days, so what will be actually doing here?

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Now you've got to remember.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
This is the same person Mike Johnson who got slammed
by the wife of a member of the military.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
He was on c SPAN and she called in. She
lit his ass up. This is what she said the
line Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

Speaker 14 (16:10):
Samantha, you're on with Speaker Johnson.

Speaker 17 (16:13):
Hi, mister Johnson. So my question or comments are related
to what you said yesterday about not being open to
pass any legislation to ensure that military gets paid. I'm
sure you can.

Speaker 18 (16:28):
Tell by my voice I'm very shaky. Just want you
to hear a little bit about my family. I have
two medically fragile children. I have a husband who actively
serves this country. He suffers from PTSD from his two
chores in Afghanistan. If we see a lapse in pay
come the fifteenth, my children do not get to get

(16:49):
the medication that's needed for them to live their life
because we live paycheck to paycheck. I heard you earlier
say that you sided with President Trump on thing that
he says. Well, I just read an article this morning
that said he absolutely, wholeheardly believes that there needs to
be legislation put in so that we do not miss
a paycheck. You have the power to do that, and

(17:12):
as a Republican, I'm very disappointed in my party, and
I'm very disappointed in you because you.

Speaker 19 (17:17):
Do have the power to call the house back. You
did that, or you refuse to do that just for
a show. I am begging you to pass this legislation.
My kids could die. We don't have the credit because
of the medical bills that I have to pay regularly.
You could stop this, and you could be the one
that could say military is getting paid. And I think

(17:40):
that it is awful and the audacity of someone who
makes six figures a year to do this to military
families is insane.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
All right, I want to understand what happened here. She
mixed a couple of things together. Okay, so she mixed
military pay. Is she mixed healthcare credits? This is what
people need to understand. And this this is why the
right is getting nailed and they can't handle it because
they're getting killed on this issue of the healthcare subsidist.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
We've seen this go on, So check this out.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Robert Rice, to former Labor secretary, reposted this tweet from
accountable dot us. If Republicans in Congress don't extend the
Affordable Care Act tax credits, five million Americans lose healthcare
premium jobs. Premiums sore for millions more, three hundred and
forty thousand jobs disappear. Y'all see that, y'all see that.

(18:33):
That's real, okay, And so this is what you have
to understand.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
So she's talking about pay, but the other issue.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Has to do with the premiums that you were seeing.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Reich also posted let me find it right here, give
me one second, where he talked about again these premiums
and why they matter.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
And Republicans are fighting this.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
They hate the Affordable Care Act, they can't stand it,
but they've never actually come up with their own health
care plan. Trump was there for four years nothing, four
years of Biden nothing. So okay, what are y'all doing?
Rice posted this Ten million adults on Affordable Care Act
plans are self employed or small business owners and employees.

(19:21):
A restaurant owner in Virginia could see his monthly premium doubled,
shooting up to fourteen hundred dollars a month. Small businesses
are the lifeblood of our communities, and Republicans are shafting them. Hello,
see what I'm saying, y'all? See this is what they
don't want people to contend with. They don't here to
contend with this here, because when you start looking at

(19:41):
the money, when you start looking at the numbers, these
are the people being impacted.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
And so what the Republicans tried to do.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
Was when they passed that big, ugly bill, they shifted
a lot of those costs to twenty twenty seven so
it wouldn't impact the twenty twenty six mid term elections.
The problem is this little subsidy. It has to be
dealt with right now. So people are getting notices as
we speak regarding these healthcare premiums. And so when you

(20:15):
start looking at the numbers, and I'm trying to find
this other post that Reich posted because it dealt with
this couple in Idaho that will see their healthcare jumped
by twenty thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
This am a congo. Is what the real issue is.
And I'm gonna deal with this a little bit later.

Speaker 13 (20:35):
You know.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Steven Able was on CNN Laura Coate saying Democrats don't
have a strategy. I'm like, have you paid any attention?
The fact of the matter is Democrats. Democrats have been waffling.
Natural Democrats have been waffling for the last nine months.
They have finally hit on something that is resonated and
it's showing up in the polling data. It is the
issue of healthcare. And here's what they're hitting The reality
is they are having to contend with the fact that

(20:58):
polling numbers show that Republicans and these red states, a
lot of poor people, a lot of small businesses, are
now realizing, oh yeah, they hate Obamacare.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
Damn they loved the Form of Care.

Speaker 7 (21:10):
Actah yeah, yeah, they do, you know, like they loveing
saying Obamacare is now because the fact of the matter
is this is one of the reasons why they don't
want to come back. In addition to, of course, the
Epstein files and what we see right now with Mike Johnson.
The interview was so powerful because it shows what happens
when journalists do their research, which is why none of
these guys will ever come on your show. So many

(21:31):
of these other shows, they're just yes man and yes,
we'men They're like, But the way he called him out,
he's showing that Republicans need to be on point as
related to this, but they can't because they have no
health care plan and they just are so anti Obama
and anything. And the fact that the Democrats have finally
found their message and are sticking with it. You know,
one of the talking points that the Republicans had was

(21:51):
that the Democrats were going to agree to open up
the government right after the No Kings rally ended. But
yet here we are again in today twenty of the shutdown,
and the Democrats do have a strategy. Trump got over
on saying waste, fraud, and abuse. They had their phrases,
they had their catch phrases every single time, and now
the Democrats have that as well. And these folks in
these red states you talked about the military and them

(22:13):
not getting money or getting money in a particular roundabout way.
Same thing with the farmers right who we've also talked
about on this show and who are also pissed off.
And even the money that they can't that is supposed
to bail them out, they can't even get now because
of the shutdown. So if they're gonna get something, it's
gonna take a little bit longer. This healthcare message has
to stick. Everybody's talking about Democrats need to run on affordability, affordability, affordability.

(22:36):
Yes they're running on that, but this healthcare is connected
to that because We're going to see so many challenges
with our society right now. And these Red state guys,
they need to stop talking about Okay, they want to
keep their health care, but not go against Trump.

Speaker 6 (22:50):
It's time that they put some skin in the game.

Speaker 7 (22:52):
And it's time that they get out there to rally,
trying to get out there to protest, get out there
to call their congress folks, all.

Speaker 6 (22:57):
Their congress folks at home right now.

Speaker 7 (22:59):
What do you say, every two out of the last
eighty four days they're home right now, roll up on
their offices, call them up, get some skin in the game,
and actually demand what you claim you love.

Speaker 5 (23:09):
Make them Mark Ashley, it's unfortunate. This will be the
last check that government workers get on Friday. So it's
it's it's it's sad. And there's a source of mind
in the office where they administer food stamps. And she said,
I have never seen so many white Americans cry. I'm like, yeah,
those Red States, which is all pans is in bubble

(23:29):
bubble f Montana.

Speaker 6 (23:31):
I mean, it's insane.

Speaker 5 (23:33):
Were talking about health care, healthcare, we're talking about food people,
Like she said, our living paycheck to paycheck. So they
need to Yeah, open and bring the house back. This
is this is this is this is wild. Twenty one
days is wild.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
This is a tweet from Senator Kirsten Jailbrand. She says
without the Form without Key and Form Care Act tax credits,
a person making sixty five thousand dollars a year in
Tompkins County, New York will play close to ten thousand
a year. This is the graphic she posts right here,
So you see, right here, you're talking about going from
two thousand, three and thirty seven dollars to nine thousand,

(24:04):
six hundred and seventy five.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
See.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
It amazes me these people who don't want to confront
the reality on the congo that subsidies matter. Now Trump
wants to give billions to farmers who are getting screwed
by his dumbass tears because China ain't but made buying soybeans.
They have no health care plan. They want to get
rid of the subsidies. But health care is real, so
they don't want to do health care for all. They

(24:29):
don't want that.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
They want to get rid of the subsidies. Now, they
shouldn't get nailed to me.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
This is where Democrats have to be hammering every single day,
every single day, every single day on this.

Speaker 6 (24:42):
Yes, and they all seem to be taking your advice
as well as refend Barber's advice.

Speaker 7 (24:45):
And putting more people in the front like they did
at one of the rallies you know that they had
last week. They need to have people out there to
put real faces with these costs and what's actually going
to happen. Imagine if that caller who called Mike Johnson,
imagine if they found her and you know, and brought
her in front of people to actually talk or people
like her to talk about what's happening. I mean, people
are at home with children who are sick, elder members

(25:08):
who are sick and this is something that's going to
be needed, and then the family that's just healthy but
just can't afford it.

Speaker 6 (25:13):
Period.

Speaker 7 (25:13):
Bottom line, these stories need to be told, and these
stories are all out on Instagram and TikTok and all
in the social media spaces. These are people who are
not hard to find. So this has to be the
next step of the democratic message is putting more people
in front who can speak.

Speaker 6 (25:28):
To the real challenges that are happening right now.

Speaker 7 (25:31):
The small businesses, the individuals who are who are working
in their communities, the hospitals that are going to close,
some who already started closing in rural areas as well
as in city areas as well. There is a way
to continue to dominate this message. And I love what
Hakim Jeffrey's and what others are saying, but they need
to put more faces to that, and that's really going
to be something that's going to drive the message home.

(25:52):
And again, they need to go and do this in
red states. Go to these guys' offices, these Republicans and
they ain't even have in town halls. Go over their offices.
Take people from West Virginia and all of these places,
let them speak to it. And I believe that that
needs to be the next step to get in these
Republicans back to the table.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
About an hour ago, at a couple of hours ago,
Democrat Leader Hakim Jeffreys heild the news conference and this
is what he had to say.

Speaker 20 (26:15):
Definitely, every one.

Speaker 21 (26:18):
Since day twenty of the Trump Republicans shut down and
Republicans have shown zero interest in reopening the government, enacting
a bipartisan spending agreement that actually is designed to make
life better for the American people and address the healthcare
crisis that Republicans have created that is devastating people all

(26:44):
across America. Opposition as Democrats, remain clear in the House
and in the Senate.

Speaker 20 (26:52):
We need to reopen the government and we need to
do that now.

Speaker 21 (26:56):
We need to find a bipartisan path toward enacting a
spending agreement that actually is designed to make life better
for the American people as opposed to hurting everyday Americans.
And we need to decisively address the Republican health care
crisis that is crushing people all across the country, working

(27:23):
class America, rural America, urban America, the heartland of America,
small town America, and black and brown communities all across America.
The Republican healthcare crisis, as Marjorie Taylor Green has repeatedly indicated,
is real and it's having devastating impacts that are becoming

(27:44):
increasingly apparent to the American people. In Idaho, one hundred
thousand Americans are at risk of losing their health care
if the Affordable Care Tax credits expire because it will
become unaffordable for them. In Georgia, Virginia, and Maryland, people

(28:13):
are now finding out that their health insurance premiums are
about to increase in some instances by more than two
thousand dollars per month for a total of twenty four
thousand dollars per year. No one can afford those types

(28:35):
of increases. In Alabama, it's now clear that at least
fifty rural hospitals are at risk of closing because of
what Republicans have done in devastating Medicaid in their one big,
ugly bill. The Republican healthcare crisis is real, and every

(29:00):
day that passes by without action, it gets even worse
for hard working American taxpayers.

Speaker 22 (29:08):
Questions Open enrollment as you know it begins on November first.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Once that date comes, will this fight for health care
still be worth it?

Speaker 21 (29:20):
If we don't address the Republican health care crisis in
advance of open enrollment on November first, it will become
even more apparent to everyday Americans why we need to
extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, because by that point,

(29:42):
tens of millions of people across the country will realize
that their health insurance premiums, copays, and deductibles have skyrocketed
beyond what's affordable because of Republican in action.

Speaker 6 (29:58):
So wouldn't guarantee it any shutdown.

Speaker 23 (30:00):
Come to remember first.

Speaker 21 (30:01):
It's certainly our hope that as the reality starts to
sink in for so many Americans across the country that
because of the Republican refusal to extend the Affordable Care
Act tax credits for working class Americans, that their premiums, copays,
and deductibles are going to increase by thousands of dollars

(30:23):
per year, in some cases more than twenty thousand dollars
a year. That action needs to be taken by the
Congress now, as Democrats have been saying for the last
several weeks, if.

Speaker 24 (30:35):
Senate Democrats walk away with the failed votes to send
the ACA subsidies, let's say a sixty vote threshold and
declare victory and vote for the Clinton cr Would that
be a satisfactory outcome for you, your caucus, your voters.

Speaker 21 (30:47):
House and Senate Democrats have been on the same page
from the very beginning of the effort to try to
fund the government, which is to make clear, we need
to cancel the cuts, lower the cost safe healthcare.

Speaker 13 (31:00):
Figure leaders figure Johnson House. His prest Congress was Chick
Roy Andy Harris of the Freedom Caucus. This morning, he
said that Republicans were captive to the left. That's by
you and Chruction were so supportive of the King's rally
this weekend.

Speaker 23 (31:15):
I want to kind of get your sense of.

Speaker 13 (31:19):
How do how do you see the Republican opposition to
the AECA subsidies, which is something that.

Speaker 20 (31:27):
The Freedom Caucus is leading on.

Speaker 13 (31:29):
Can you speak about that dynamic of them framing you
all as captive to the left when the Freedom Caucus
is kind of leading on their opposition to the expending
the ACA subsidies.

Speaker 21 (31:39):
The House Republicans are divorced from reality and have continued
to function as nothing more than wholly owned subsidiaries of
Donald Trump and his extreme administration. From the very beginning
of this Congress, Republicans have done nothing to make life
better for the American people. That's why the American people
know overwhelmingly the country is heading in the wrong direction

(32:01):
and why Donald Trump's approval ratings are at rock bottom.
Republicans promised that they were going to lower the high
cost of living.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
On Day one.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
I love promoting our delicious state goods thanks to design
hold type.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
One second, We're gonna play the rest there we go?

Speaker 14 (32:19):
Can we gope?

Speaker 21 (32:22):
Electricity prices are through the roof. Housing costs too expensive,
childcare costs too expensive, groceries too expensive. And now, because
of Republican refusal to extend the Affordable Care and tax credits,
tens of millions of Americans are about to experience these
dramatically increased healthcare premiums such that they will be unable

(32:45):
to see a doctor when they need one, when their
children need one, or when their family needs one. Like
at the end of the day, this is about the
healthcare of the American people, and this is about driving
down the high cost of living. No matter what lies
or difference disinformation Republicans continue to try to put out

(33:08):
there in the public domain, the Republican argument coming from
the House has changed every week.

Speaker 20 (33:16):
It literally has changed every week.

Speaker 21 (33:20):
Now it's because of the No King's Day, peaceful, patriotic,
and powerful protests that.

Speaker 20 (33:27):
Occurred this weekend. In a few days, it'll be about
something else.

Speaker 21 (33:31):
Democrats from the very beginning have been crystal clear and consistent.

Speaker 20 (33:37):
Cancel the cuts, lower the costs, save healthcare. Do you
see the anyway?

Speaker 5 (33:44):
Without Trump's involvement.

Speaker 23 (33:45):
Does he need to get involved?

Speaker 20 (33:47):
Donald Trump definitively needs to get involved.

Speaker 21 (33:50):
He needs to get off the sidelines, get off the
golf course, and actually decide to end the shutdown that
he's created, that he has allowed to happen.

Speaker 20 (33:59):
We know that House and.

Speaker 21 (34:00):
Senate Republicans don't do anything without getting permission from their boss,
Donald J.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
Trump.

Speaker 21 (34:08):
And the reason why there have been no negotiations, zero
negotiations since Republicans shut the government down, is because Donald
Trump clearly wants the government shut down.

Speaker 20 (34:20):
He wants to inflict pain on the American people. And
this will not change.

Speaker 21 (34:26):
Until Donald Trump gives Republicans permission to sit down with Democrats.
And as we've indicated, we are ready willing and able
to sit down any time, any place with anyone here
at the Capitol or back in the White House to
try to enact a bipartisan spending agreement that actually improves

(34:47):
the quality of life of the American people and addresses
decisively the Republican healthcare crisis that is devastating people all
across the country.

Speaker 6 (35:00):
She comes from the HFC House.

Speaker 25 (35:01):
For the Conkers today is that you know they would
be possibly be overdoing subsidy extension if they got certain
changes to healthcare policies like eighth h s, a extension
expansion or you know, short term plans.

Speaker 6 (35:13):
Are you a visit a clean substy extension only for you?

Speaker 26 (35:16):
Orre you open to some of these ideas that the
freedom of brokers and others well.

Speaker 21 (35:19):
Opposition has been uh that we are open certainly to
anything by partisan that emerges from the Senate in good
faith that reopens the government but at the same time
decisively addresses the Republican healthcare crisis, which includes, but is
not limited to, extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits,
because that needs to be done with urgency, given the

(35:41):
fact that open enrollment starts on November first, and all
across the country right now, tens of millions of Americans
are receiving notices that are shocking them in terms of
the premium's, copays and deductible increases that they are being
forced to absorb because of Republican in action.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Right there on the congo.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
You ride it, you hit it, you hit it, you
hit it, you hit it, you hit it, because whether
folks like it or not, when you talk about health care,
you're talking about it's impacting Republicans, Democrats, independence, voters, non voters, black, white, gay, straight,
Latino Asian Native America. It does not matter, and so
Republicans have to be confronted on this issue. You have

(36:26):
no health care plan, you have no fix, you're taking
something away, you're replacing with anything.

Speaker 7 (36:33):
Yeah, I mean he will sit in all the points saying,
you know, no tie or anything. You know, look a
little bit more casual as well. He hit it, and
he didn't left the question the questioners distract him from message.
I have not seen the Democrats stay this on message
in a very long time, and it's extremely powerful. And
he kept and you notice, look, we can sit here

(36:54):
and talk about Epstein files and all this other type
of stuff.

Speaker 6 (36:56):
He didn't go to any of that. He kept it
strictly on the health health care.

Speaker 7 (37:00):
And like I was saying, imagine if you had somebody else,
some other people, average Americans who can come up there
and speak to it. But it's not only the fact
that he's driving this point home. All of the Democrats
have heard on the shows over the weekend, the last
couple of days and all of that, they're all saying
the same thing.

Speaker 6 (37:15):
And his ability to.

Speaker 7 (37:16):
Call out Trump and to make the Republicans look weakless,
saying y'all can't do anything unless Donald J.

Speaker 6 (37:21):
Trump gives you permission.

Speaker 23 (37:23):
These are all facts.

Speaker 7 (37:24):
I'm not looking at anything that he's saying in there
that that is a lie, that's manipulation. And people can't
argue with them because at the end of the day,
the Democrats are there or here, I should say, they
are in DC. So when he says we're ready to meet,
it's not about oh, I'll fly down any time. They
are in DC daily doing the work. The Republicans are
nowhere to be found and they need to continue to

(37:46):
be called out. And the way he did it, I
felt was masterful.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
Actually, actually, you know, all these Republicans last week whining
and crying, but the No Kings March, that's the First
Amendment as the freedom of assembly, freedom of a freedom
of speech, freedom of Russian and so they were all
mad and upset. It's kind of like, y'all mad, and
guess what there were There were no There was no violence.
They were predicting all of this massive Antifa violence because

(38:10):
they were trying to distract their criticism of the marches
were nothing very similar to me of the UH. The
UH migrant caravans at Fox News breaks out every time
around the election.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
Season.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 5 (38:28):
Actually forced from reality, divorced from reality. Hackeing Jeffrey said it,
said it perfectly because all America, rural America, urban American heartland,
like fifty hospitals closing. That's what about pregnant mothers, friends
and families going through undergoing chemotherapy Like this is bad.
But Trump, like you said, what's to inflict pain because

(38:49):
he's trying to treat this dictator role that he's trying
to want so badly like his friend putin.

Speaker 9 (38:55):
But yeah, this yeah wild.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Alright, folks, let's talk about the problem of homeland security.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
The problem of homeland security.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
So over the weekend they posted a tweet and this
is literally what they posted. Okay, this is this is
the tweet right here. Okay, all right, that's the tweet.
Now I want you'all to play the video that they
actually posted. You you have, that's play the video.

Speaker 23 (39:25):
And less that these holes on a dick because they're
not like a jet.

Speaker 27 (39:27):
They're gonna be surprised when they see y'all made this
beat Baby t for Kanye West bit loans was the
Whole House Savage should.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
Never see Home.

Speaker 1 (39:35):
Now, that was the video.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
The video client so again, so I DHS talking about
Oh this, they're threatening law enforcement. Here's the problem. That
was an altered video. This is actually the original video
that was posted on TikTok.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
T. He said he watching me every day. They coughing me.

Speaker 27 (40:04):
Wait a look of the things that reason keep and
they ain't looking for trouble.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
I'm just looking up for a dish. They tell me
about no mask seeing that I can't even remember.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
They remember Miss Richard was talking about Ron. Now somebody
posted this next to meet somebody posted the comparison. Look
at how doctor the video is.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
They actually removed some people from the video.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
They removed f from the original video and in the
original and then an altered one they actually posted it.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
Now, what makes matters worse is these.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
DHS idiots actually doubled down on their post.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
They doubled down.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
Didn't apologize, didn't say hey, we screwed up. No, these
dumbasses doubled down. Now the young brother who who was
in the in the center of the original video, he
responded on TikTok y'all roll his response.

Speaker 22 (41:05):
So I'm getting these mad messages from my dms and
social media and on my comments, and I really get
a text message talking about or reset video that was
supposed to my account. I was like, what are y'all
talking about? By the way, I'm sick. So if I
signed where, Yeah, I get there's daily on ig and

(41:27):
everywhere all over my social media all of a sudden
due to an old video I posted months ago about
Iran Iran that was not to be a threat. It
was literally a joke, bro.

Speaker 20 (41:39):
Like, seriously, it's just content.

Speaker 22 (41:41):
Anyways, once I seen that video that was posting my account,
then I was like, what the fuck?

Speaker 1 (41:48):
Well then I post this like months ago.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
Then I seen the caps and then I was like, wait,
I didn't do that.

Speaker 22 (41:55):
I still got the videos saved on my draft months
ago on TikTok. Bro, Like, I'm gonna pull it up
right here. Here's the fucked up part. The federal government
is involved with something that I didn't do. Like what,
so this is what they reposted off my TikTok. That
video got taken down. So here's what they reposted on

(42:20):
their page. Now that video was going crazy him on Twitter. Bro,
Now I'm a threat to the government or something that
I didn't do. Bro, I'm being called I want to
be hy in I don't want to be gangster over
a video that I didn't caption or why didn't post.

(42:45):
So thankful my followers for letting me know about this,
because seriously.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
This is getting out of here, like literally, this is going.

Speaker 22 (42:54):
Crazy virals and social media right now, probably might end
up being on the news.

Speaker 14 (42:58):
Bro.

Speaker 22 (42:59):
So my apology he's for that contradiction and rumors from happening.
I know my first one I met, but I did
not post that video so I could clear that out.
I did not post that video, and I apologize for
all the rumors that's going around right now on social
media about this conflict. And those other kids that was
on a video, bro, they volunteered.

Speaker 6 (43:21):
N't want to be on a video.

Speaker 28 (43:22):
Bro.

Speaker 22 (43:22):
I asked them if they wanted to be on a
video and then they said, yeah, they agree with it,
but it wasn't really aware with the caption the caption
for the ira video, but the Iran video trend that
was going on a few months ago. I wanted to
hop on that trend. And I keep a lot of people.

Speaker 29 (43:41):
Who is doing the same thing too, so I wanted
to be created and change my perspective. So then I
seen comments saying, oh what if somebody made on my
end media.

Speaker 22 (43:52):
So then I ended up making that video and then
I started getting threats like why.

Speaker 23 (43:58):
How is it my fault?

Speaker 2 (43:59):
That's the original video was posted on June twenty second,
the day the US bombed Iran. His video had to
do with Iran and these assholes from the Department of
Homeland Security, including Ice Barbie Christian Home. They're so pathetic
they have been taken it down. This is on the

(44:20):
Twitter feed right now. They doubled down this yesterday. We
have the receipts. This young man posted violent threats of
murder against our law enforcement. He then deleted it when
he was called out an attempted to deny all wrongdoing.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
We have the receipts.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
The Internet is forever This willful ignorance and intentional blindness
by leading Democrats to the massive increase in violent rhetoric
against our agents due to their actions. It's both disgusting
and disappointing. Violence against our agents and officers must stop.
So you see them claiming this is it, but y'all,

(44:55):
we all know from the original video cats were omitted.

Speaker 3 (44:58):
Like now, this is the.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
Original video right here. It says you've seen what we
can do. Don't say something that you can't finish.

Speaker 5 (45:12):
Ran.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
We all ready united, We all stand us flag. We
want all the smoke. Now, these dumbasses with ice go.
They actually post this as if they have receipts.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
But is this right? Here is the doctored video.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
You see the brother right there in the multicolor shorts,
he's gone. You see the brother right there in the
ten he's gone. This is what they do and om
congo they could put this young brother in danger. I
hope there's a lawyer out there that volunteers pro bono
to sue dhs on behalf of this young brother of

(45:55):
putting his life in danger.

Speaker 7 (45:59):
There has to be some out there willing to do that.
I mean, it's one thing when they talk about so
many of these other guys, whether it's a Coomi and
all of those guys who they falsify things. You know,
people who are of means, who can defend themselves and
have great national and international reputations. But coming after a
normal individual like this with doctored information, you know, one

(46:20):
arrest of this guy. He's not able to get jobs,
he's not able to work. What type of pressure he's
already experiencing. Death threats or putting out a video on Iran,
you know in US and support of the United States.
What about his family when people start showing up at
the door, I don't know it's age.

Speaker 6 (46:35):
Is he in school?

Speaker 7 (46:36):
Like, are they going to start showing up at his
school or the other kids' schools. I mean, not only
are we dealing with the fact that they are taking
these men, these young men who made a video using
their art, but now they're making them also look like criminals.
So we have the blackmail as thug stereotype. But then
on top of that, you're saying these black thugs are
coming for Ice.

Speaker 6 (46:57):
It's absolutely ridiculous.

Speaker 7 (46:59):
It's cowardly they won't and the fact that they won't
take it down, they're probably doing more of it to
other people that we don't even know about. And we
really haven't seen this story anywhere else Roland. People need
to rally around this man and his community because I'm
very nervous about what's going to happen. And Christy Noman
will have this guy arrested and go on Fox and
call this guy a terrorist, AAMA sympathizer that we're not

(47:22):
going to tolerate. And this you can tell you can
see the fair in his voice. It wasn't just about
him being sick, in my opinion, and we need to
rally around this. It's disgusting, it's despicable. Like I said,
it's one thing to do with to the high profile
John Bolton's of the world, which is all you know,
messed up, whether we care about them or not. But
now we're going at the young people in the community
who are using their art and you're manipulating it, using

(47:45):
AI and all of this other type of stuff to
drum up cases. Is despicable and I do hope this
really gets a representation. He's going to need.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
Ashley.

Speaker 15 (47:57):
I'm confused.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
So how old is he?

Speaker 5 (48:00):
Where his parents this iran? Oh, this is a very various,
serious situation. So to hop on a trend of something
like this really was smart to begin with.

Speaker 23 (48:10):
I get it.

Speaker 5 (48:11):
They should not come for him, and AI can be tricky.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
They could have made it.

Speaker 5 (48:15):
It could have been a completely different situation. There was
just an episode on Law and Order and this teacher
went to jail because they altered and put him in
in the video having considered it rape with with a minor.
So we many time you put these videos on the Internet.
They could be turned into anything. So I really think
he shouldn't hop on the trend anyway, That's my opinion.

Speaker 2 (48:34):
But now he wait wait wait wait wait wait wait
wait wait, he's responding to the bombing of Iran.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
So a buck of people were doing that. So people
do videos all the time.

Speaker 2 (48:44):
Okay, people can hop on hill, a dance trend, any
kind of trend. This is the federal government, on a
federal government Twitter account, finding a doctored video, no verification,
no fact check, and then condemning him when he was
actually standing in support of the United States. So I'm

(49:07):
not going to condemn them for doing a video where
they were like, yo, Iran, we.

Speaker 1 (49:11):
Want to smoke.

Speaker 5 (49:14):
But I don't think he's ready. I hear, like you said,
you hear fear in his voice. I hear confusion. I
don't think he knows the magnetude. Every trend isn't a
trend to hop one just because it's a trend.

Speaker 14 (49:23):
But no, no, no, no no.

Speaker 2 (49:24):
The feary in his voice is because the federal government
took an altered video of him and other friends doing
a video calling out Iran, and the federal government takes
a video where they flipped it to say they want
they want to align with the cartels to go after
ICE agents.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
The job of the government is to verify what the
hell you put out. You don't just run with something
you came across. This is an official government Department of
Homeland Security account. I'm not chastising the brother, I'm chastising
the public's owland security.

Speaker 23 (50:06):
I'm chastising both.

Speaker 1 (50:07):
Why why why should the young on the internet?

Speaker 5 (50:12):
Because anytime you put something on the Internet, it no
longer belongs to you.

Speaker 23 (50:15):
We lost our freedom of speech.

Speaker 19 (50:16):
Look what's going on.

Speaker 3 (50:18):
No no, no, no no no no no no no
no no.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
You can post something on social media and you can
still have the integrity of what you said. If somebody
alters what you said, that's not on you, that's on them.

Speaker 1 (50:32):
They should be called out. So what do we say?

Speaker 2 (50:34):
Okay, so, based upon the lodger you just gave, I
should not post any clips on social media because somebody
else may alter it, alter it.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
That makes no sense.

Speaker 23 (50:47):
Now has a disclaimer. The minute you use this, we
will this belongs to us.

Speaker 19 (50:50):
We will do what we want.

Speaker 1 (50:51):
Okay, no no no, no no no no no. You
missed by just said what you said.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
What you're saying is I got a million five on
the file on Facebook almost eight hundred thousand, on Instagram
seven hundred thousand, plus on Twitter one hundred thousand, or
on uh TikTok, got snapchat, got fan based spoutable spiel
LinkedIn YouTube. So the point here, using your logic, I

(51:17):
should not post anything on social because somebody else might
take it, edit it to make it be completely different
than what I said, and I'm at fault because of
what they did.

Speaker 1 (51:31):
That makes no sense.

Speaker 5 (51:33):
I'm saying when you post anything on Instagram, be mindful
of the repercussions that you make suffer period.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
Okay, but this is a federal government agency, Ashley. Okay, okay, okay, okay, Ashley,
So do you post on social.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (51:50):
So if the federal government, if somebody took one of
your posts and completely changed it to say Ashley said
let's go kill ice agents, and the federal government posted
on their Twitter account and somebody says, well, Ashley, it's
your fault too because you posted it.

Speaker 23 (52:12):
In the world with Donald J.

Speaker 5 (52:14):
Trump as president, I wouldn't do anything in post anything
related to the federal government.

Speaker 17 (52:19):
To ICE.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
It wasn't related.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
Okay, but the original post I understand the original post wasn't.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
Related to the ICE or the federal government. It wasn't.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
The original post was on the on June twenty second,
the day the United States bombed Iran.

Speaker 5 (52:39):
United We're saying, however, look at this though, Look okay,
so take the text out and look at this. What
does this look if you take out Okaya, United we staying.
But if you look at this, what does this look like?
We already looked at this is like a racial profile.
It you look at this, it's already looked intimidating.

Speaker 1 (52:56):
No, actlutely no.

Speaker 2 (52:57):
What it looks like is several young black men said
a Roan, you want this smoke?

Speaker 1 (53:02):
Yeah you got, We got some for you.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
United States. We're staying with the US. I hell, how
many time people posting this after nine eleven or after
anything else?

Speaker 1 (53:12):
Like like, literally, how are we blaming the brother?

Speaker 5 (53:17):
We're not, I'm not blaming him?

Speaker 3 (53:19):
You are?

Speaker 1 (53:19):
You literally said you literally blamed him?

Speaker 3 (53:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (53:26):
Again, in the American we're in now with Donald J.
Trump being black, you can't do everything that they can
do and think it's okay, Like, yeah, needs to get
a lawyer now, because because you're gonna have people who
look like me, like you're brown, who feel like, why would.

Speaker 23 (53:39):
You do that any type of smoke you're gonna give.

Speaker 5 (53:40):
In a wife beater, like come on really, yeah, yeah,
you need a lawyer.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
I'm in I'm in the middle of there's no middle
on the Congo go ahead, Nah, yeah, there's no middle.

Speaker 7 (53:57):
I mean, all of us have videos out there, and
the fact that that Donald Trump is the president doesn't
give people the shouldn't give people feared to say don't
post anything. I mean, I can post the video walking
with my son and you know, and people can take
that and say, these guys are coming for ice agents,
and it's just wrong. It's illegal. It's not only misinformation
is disinformation. And again they can literally do anything. They

(54:20):
altered the picture to make sure the brothers with the
brightest clothes we're no longer in the image. I mean,
people can take anything and do anything with it. But
that doesn't mean that we're supposed to lose our freedom
of speech. I'll be damned if I'm going to say
freedom of speech is over because Trump is president. I'm
sitting here with a book called lies about black people,
and people can say that, oh my gosh, this is
a terrorist author and so on and so forth.

Speaker 6 (54:40):
We're supposed to fight, we're supposed to resist.

Speaker 7 (54:42):
But again, at the end of the day, the brother
had a patriotic video in support of the United States.
I didn't even see the flag until Roland pointed it out.
He is not too blame for his artistic expression. And
you say that, you know they could do it to anybody.
They are doing these types of things, so all different
types of people. But if that's the case, every rap

(55:03):
video needs to be taken off right now. Every video
that's out there needs to go because it can.

Speaker 6 (55:08):
Also be altered. We can't live like that.

Speaker 23 (55:10):
And this brother made this in June.

Speaker 6 (55:12):
Like in June, what are have people been making?

Speaker 1 (55:15):
Sense?

Speaker 7 (55:15):
I posted like three videos today. Any one of them
could be turned into some type of anti Ice video.
We're supposed to be able to speak our minds. We're
supposed to have freedom of speech. And when people aren't
even intentionally targeting the government and being made to look
like they are, that's lawsuit worthy. And that has nothing
to do with that brother.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
And to make matters worse, they have had numerous people
respond to them and Donald Trump's department he owned security
double down, saying we have the receipts. You got the
receipts off of a doctorate video and not the original.
That's where these folks are, all right, let me go
to a break.

Speaker 1 (55:51):
We come back.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
Another racist Donald Trump wanted his administration but political dropped
some texts that he's said some let's just say awful
things about black people.

Speaker 1 (56:02):
And he said how he had did about Bena Nazi. Yeah,
we'll discussed that next.

Speaker 2 (56:08):
And steven A continues to run us mouth about curnsw
woman Jasline Crockett.

Speaker 1 (56:12):

Speaker 10 (58:01):
As a pastor, I hear a lot about trips to
the doctor, bills piling up, jobs being lost. So as
your delegate, I went to work writing laws that protect families,
helping parents care for their disabled children, capping insulin costs,
lowering prescription prices, and investing in our police and schools.

(58:24):
I'm Josh Cole, and as your delegate, I'm working to
keep us strong and safe.

Speaker 1 (58:31):
Hey, what's up, everybody. It's God be the funniest dude
on the planet, and.

Speaker 23 (58:35):
You're watching Roland Martin unfiltered.

Speaker 2 (58:45):
Folks, the eighteenth Congrecial district in Texas does not have
representative right now after the death of Congress and Sylvester Turner.
He of course replaced congressom Mahila Jackson Lee, who also
passed away. That's because Texas Governor Greg Abbott refused to
call especially act, forcing can Is to wait until November
to actually run for the position. One of the folks
is running is the Texas state Representative, Jelma Jones, who

(59:08):
joins us right now. I'm glad to have you back
on the show. Let's get right to it first and
foremost you because of the racist Jared mander. You're only
going to have this position for a year if you
were elected, Why do you want.

Speaker 3 (59:20):
To do it?

Speaker 1 (59:20):
What can you contribute?

Speaker 23 (59:23):
What can I contribute?

Speaker 27 (59:25):
I can fight for the constituency of Texas eighteen, first
of all, because that's what I mean.

Speaker 23 (59:31):
I've literally been elected eleven times in Texas.

Speaker 27 (59:34):
Eighteen, and I am just like my family is just
like the constituents of Texas eighteen who are now suffering
at the hands of Donald Trump. I mean, I'm a
kid who grew up in a single family household. Actually
we start. My parents started off together, a sort of normal.
My dad went and listed in the Marines, went to Vietnam,
didn't come back the same, and he came back.

Speaker 23 (59:56):
He was depressed.

Speaker 27 (59:56):
We now know it was PTSD. He killed himself. I
was with my father when he blew his brains out.
I've had a whole bunch of counseling to overcome that.
But immediately my family became led by a single mom
who only ever wanted to be a housewife, and I
mean rolling. I could tell you we got evicted tenth grade.
Our house burned down because we were using candles, didn't

(01:00:18):
have electricity, and we went to school the next day.
The point is, I got my eyes checked, I got
my teeth cleaned, I got my vaccinations at the city
Health clinic in Herham Park. My mother is opposed to worker,
so she had a good government job and she has
a good retirement because she had a good government job.

Speaker 23 (01:00:37):
So I need I know the government needs to work
for you.

Speaker 27 (01:00:41):
I know that every level of my education came from
public school, elementary, middle school, high school, college, law school,
so I know how important public education is and how
you can go from coming in from a single parent
household to being a lawyer and running for Congress and
being a state representative. So somebody needs to understand the

(01:01:03):
struggles of people, I mean getting kicked off Medicaid, Medicare
and trying to rob us of our Social Security, which
is poor people's retirement that we pay into, so you're
basically stealing from us. So yeah, that's why I'm running,
and I'm running to fill the special election seat. And
I'm hopeful, fingers crossed that the courts strike down those

(01:01:26):
racist maps so that there is not a fight between
me and any other black person. So that case is
going on right now, But at the end of the day,
Texas eighteen needs a representative. We haven't had one in
almost a year and a half and this nonsense has
to stop. And had I been elected with that big

(01:01:47):
ugly bill, it wasn't a beautiful bill, That big ugly
bill that's anti everything that black people and brown people
and poor people and every other kind of person that's
not white, male and a billionaire.

Speaker 23 (01:02:01):
It's against everybody. I would have voted against it. It
would have failed.

Speaker 27 (01:02:06):
So yeah, I'm running and if again, I'm hopeful that
there is no clash. But Texas eighteen serves someone sitting
in that seat, and person should.

Speaker 2 (01:02:16):
Be Obviously, economics is a huge issue for every congressional district,
including the eighteenth, and so what are your plans in
that regard?

Speaker 27 (01:02:26):
So economically, I I absolutely would like for government contracts.
You know, the government is the biggest dollar outer of
money in almost everything. So for example, when Secretary Marshall
Fudge was over Hud, I mean, there are a bunch
of RFPs and r fq's going out for people who
don't know what that is. Those are requests for a

(01:02:47):
proposal to do things for the government. I would make
sure that we kept well. Actually, I would fight to
make sure that we kept studies of race to see
where the contracts are going, to make sure that black
people in brown people and women and are able to
compete for these contracts. That's helpful. In Texas eighteen, I'm
hoping that Interconduital Airport stays there because in the gerrymander

(01:03:12):
racistly gerrymandered districts, they took Intercondual Airport out Bush Airport,
which is an economic engine.

Speaker 23 (01:03:21):
So those are the kinds of things that I will
be doing. I will be meeting.

Speaker 27 (01:03:25):
Regularly with businesses who want to do business with the
government and let them know what RFP's and RFQs are
out there so that they can compete for government contracts.
If they have to start off as subs, I'm going
to put them in contact with primes and if they
want to compete to be the prime I want to
help them with that.

Speaker 23 (01:03:46):
So I want to help them build capacity.

Speaker 27 (01:03:48):
Those are the kind of things I'll do as it
relates to business in Texas Ateen.

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
A lot of people have no clue how government works.
Republicans control the House, you're used to that in Texas.
To explain to people how as a Democrat, I'm going
to deal with Steven Agen's comments about Jasmin Crockett in
a moment, but explain to people how politics works even
though Republicans may be in charge, how you actually get

(01:04:14):
things for your district even though they hold the power.

Speaker 27 (01:04:19):
So let me talk about what happened in the state
legislature really quickly, because it's sort of analogous in that
it is majoritarily Republican. In the Texas House, there are
eighty eight Republicans and sixty two Democrats. To pass anything,
you have to have seventy six. You have to have
half of the one point fifty of us. And so

(01:04:40):
if we only have sixty two, I literally have to
go find fourteen Republicans who are willing to vote with Democrats.

Speaker 23 (01:04:46):
And I did that.

Speaker 27 (01:04:47):
In the Senate, there are twenty Republicans and eleven Democrats,
which means that I'd have to go find five senators
who are willing to vote with Democrats in order to
get any of my bills passed. I was able to
get three bills on the Governor's desk. Now was I like,
I mean, these are people who when I first found
my bills, were against my bills because I'm a Democrat.

Speaker 14 (01:05:10):
Right.

Speaker 23 (01:05:11):
But so it required me to talk to people who
I didn't.

Speaker 27 (01:05:14):
Have a lot in common with and explain to them
why my bills were not quote unquote Democrat bills, while
they were bills that were best for Texans. So, for example,
one of my bills was to get actually innocent people
out of Jail. That's not Democrat or Republican, that's innocent
people out of jail. I got Joan Huffman, who was

(01:05:36):
a right wing Republican, to carry that bill because I
helped her understand why if you have innocent people in jail,
you're hurting Texas.

Speaker 23 (01:05:45):
Another bills that I.

Speaker 27 (01:05:46):
Got passed was putting local civics. Another bills that I
got passed putting local civics in schools. So I want
for kids when they graduate from high school to be
informed voters, and I don't want for them to go
complaining the city council when they're mad at the school board.
They need to know who the different governmental quasi governmental

(01:06:07):
entities are so that they can be mad at the
right person. The governor actually signed that bill back to
my get actually Innocent People out of Jail bill, the
governor it is vetaol Statement of that bill said it
was a common sense bill, but that was really in
punishment for me not voting for a bunch of really
anti everything that we stand for bills. I also got

(01:06:28):
a bill for the Harris County Hospital District, which is
where people who are poor go to get their health care.

Speaker 23 (01:06:35):
Well, there's a lot of violence there.

Speaker 27 (01:06:37):
The patients are getting beat up and the people who
work there are assaulted, and so it was hard to
keep people working there, which meant that they couldn't give
the health care that they needed, and they were paying
a premium for law enforcement there because they'd have to
hire police officers with extra jobs.

Speaker 23 (01:06:56):
So I got them a law.

Speaker 27 (01:06:57):
Enforcement agency so that patients are no longer going to
get beat up and people are going to be safe
in their workspaces. So I have been able to work
across the aisle. I will do the same thing in Congress.
I can tell you I've already been building relationships with
members of the CBC. One of the people who contributed
to my campaign is Congressman Cliber and I'm very proud

(01:07:18):
of that. Another person who's contributed to my campaign is
Representative body Watson Coleland.

Speaker 23 (01:07:26):
I could go on another person I mean, I could
go on.

Speaker 27 (01:07:29):
A number of CBC members have contributed to my campaign,
and I believe that's because they'd like to work with me.
Let me be clear, when I get into Congress, I
get that I'll be a freshman, and I don't care
how great of a freshman you are. All you have
to do is remember how it was when you were
in eighth grade and you went to ninth grade. Didn't

(01:07:51):
matter how much of a sports star you were when
you got to ninth grade. The people on varsity. Even
if you happen to be on varsity, let you know
you're a freshman, It's going to be the same way Congress.
So I've already started building relationships with senior members of
Congress to help get money appropriate to Texas eighteen. Because
I understand that I'll be one of the lowest people

(01:08:12):
on the total pole. And so people that I have
started developing relationships, and I said, who have contributed to
my campaign are like.

Speaker 23 (01:08:20):
On the Appropriations Committee on the Ways it means committee.

Speaker 27 (01:08:23):
Those are important committees, right, So I've already started building
those relationships.

Speaker 7 (01:08:29):
Questions Congo on Ma Congo you first, first of all, Jolanda,
I wanted to thank you for the courage and bravy
that you showed when the Democrats in Texas you know,
left and you if you refuse to come back. I mean,
it really was inspirational for all of us, and that
kind of leads Thank Christian, no doubt. What did that
experience teach you as relates to solidarity and moving forward?

(01:08:53):
That can give you a different type of energy and
spirit that you would bring to Congress.

Speaker 27 (01:08:58):
So first, I don't feel like I had a choice
of whether I went and whether I stayed, because the
Times demanded it, civil rights demanded it. I was thankful
that we as Democrats had the courage to leave at
least for one session. Me personally, I was prepared to
stay for as long as I needed to stay. So

(01:09:20):
I was prepared to be gone until December, which would
have killed.

Speaker 23 (01:09:23):
The MAPS period.

Speaker 27 (01:09:24):
But it gives me hope that we could one day
stay together longer, because I really didn't think we were
going to korm break at all, because before we actually
did it, there were so many people who just didn't
want to do it, and so we were able to
come together and at least prove a point for a
small period. Again, for me, the quorm break was like

(01:09:47):
my Montgomery bus boycott moment. They stayed gone for three
hundred and eighty something days. I was willing to stay
gone as long as I needed to to actually kill
the maps. It didn't end up working out like that,
although I did not go back to give them a
korm they needed to pass those racist maps that they
ultimately passed. But I was hopeful for the time that
we were away. I was so hopeful that I saw

(01:10:10):
black people coming together. I saw the black media coming together,
and I think, as elected officials, we have to support
black media. We have to give them the scoops. I mean,
that's why I spoke with Roland, I spoke with Joy,
I spoke to Angela Rai, and I explained to them
the maps I gave receipts, and I explained it because

(01:10:33):
the seats that were stolen were black seats, and black
faces needed to be the face of the chorm break
because they were stealing from us. And you know, people
who aren't US, people who aren't of color, people who
aren't black.

Speaker 23 (01:10:48):
Struggle saying racist.

Speaker 27 (01:10:51):
But black people, at least this black person, me and
Joelantha Jones, if it's racist, I'm gonna call it racist.
That's what I love about Roland always speaks truth to power.

Speaker 23 (01:11:01):
He's not afraid.

Speaker 27 (01:11:02):
When the white media tried to muzzle him, he said,
you know what, I'm not about to stay with y'all.
I'm gonna cre create my own And so that's what
I believe. As black people, the only way we can
move forward is for us to work in conjunction with
black media. Give them the stories, explain things to them
so that they can help us amplify the problems that

(01:11:24):
we know as effected officials are behind the walls, outside
of the purview of people who aren't elected, and we
need to make sure we tell regular people that what's
actually going on, because there's nothing like playing in a
game that's not real, and most politicians create fiction, they

(01:11:45):
don't tell the truth.

Speaker 1 (01:11:47):
Ashley question, thank you for.

Speaker 5 (01:11:50):
Running Jalanda Earlier, you mentioned Clyburn in what way is
what contribution an impact do you feel that you're going
to make specifically to the Black Caucus.

Speaker 27 (01:12:00):
So, first of all, I'm gonna work with the Black
Caucus with the CBC because we're under tack. I understood
clearly what Trump is trying to do with these racist
redistrict things. He literally is going to Republican states and
he's targeting the CBC. It's not a coincidence that the

(01:12:21):
CBC has the most seniority in Congress. So even if
you are the minority party, if you have seniority, you're
a ranking member of committees.

Speaker 23 (01:12:33):
So that is what he's trying to do.

Speaker 27 (01:12:35):
He's trying to give a whole bunch of mediocre white
people positions and replace seasoned congress people who know exactly
what the hell is going on. And so I am
going to work with the CBC.

Speaker 23 (01:12:49):
Right.

Speaker 27 (01:12:49):
Obviously, there are things that we need in Texas eighteen.
We need affordable health care, we need affordable housing, We
need the police to stop messing with us. We need
education that's fully funded. We need all of those things, right,
But what I'm going to do is figure out what
the CBC, what plans we have going forward, and try

(01:13:10):
to be a contributing part of that team, and hopefully
in turn, they will help me get money appropriated to
Texas eighteen. But I think that black people in America
are going to have the best chance to be represented
successfully in Congress if the CBC runs as a team.
I think We're going to be as strong as our

(01:13:32):
weakest CBC member.

Speaker 2 (01:13:35):
All right then, well listen, it all comes down November fourth,
election day, representing of Jemma Jones.

Speaker 1 (01:13:40):
We appreciate it, have you on the show, thanks a.

Speaker 23 (01:13:41):
Lot, Roland.

Speaker 27 (01:13:43):
Early vote is going on now. It started today at
seven am to seven pm. It's going on until October thirty,
first Halloween. So from today until October thirty first is

Speaker 1 (01:14:19):
All right then, thanks a vauch, thank you, thank you Roland. Folks,
I'm gonna go right into it.

Speaker 2 (01:14:28):
So Donald Trump, he loves racists, I mean loves racists.

Speaker 1 (01:14:34):
And the folks that Politico have broken another story.

Speaker 2 (01:14:38):
On uh this racist who desperately wants to be confirmed
by Congress.

Speaker 1 (01:14:46):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (01:14:47):
His name is Paul and Gracia. Uh and uh, it's
quite interesting, y'all, Little Paul. So here's the photo. Here's
a photo of Paul with Donald Trump. Check this out here,
look at Paul here, y'all. So it's just zoom right
on end. So both of them got the thumbs up,
all that sort of good stuff. Well, guess what, y'all,

(01:15:09):
Paul is a racist. So this is a story from
political Trump nominee, says m Ok Junior holiday belongs in
Hell and that he has Nazi streak according to text messages.

Speaker 1 (01:15:23):
So they so there was a group chat right here.

Speaker 2 (01:15:26):
And now, mind you, this person has a Senate confirmation
hearing schedule for Thursday Thursday. Donald Trump has nominated him
to lead the Office of Special Counsel. Well, he was
in a group chat. He was in a group chat
with fellow Republicans, an influencer.

Speaker 1 (01:15:45):
So check this out, y'all. This is this is the story.

Speaker 2 (01:15:50):
And he So there's more photos of la Paul here
and he us an Italian slur for black people, all
these different things.

Speaker 1 (01:16:00):
So Paul was kind of.

Speaker 2 (01:16:02):
Busy, y'all on social media sharing with us all of
his racism. And so here's one of them here, m
Ok Junior was the nineteen sixties. George Floyd and his
holidays should be ended and tossed into the seventh Circle.

Speaker 1 (01:16:19):
Of Hell where it belongs. One of the people in
the chat goes Jesus Christ. That was up one of
the comments. Now check this out.

Speaker 3 (01:16:29):
He admitted in the.

Speaker 1 (01:16:31):
In the chat, I do go back. I do have
a Nazi streak in me from time to time. I
will admit it. Oh, now we're admitting we like Nazis.
He also put in one of the tweets, never trust
a Chinaman or Indian. Never. Okay, all right, thank you, Paul,

(01:16:55):
appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (01:16:56):
And then he posted, I said We're making Kawanza illegal
in the next Trump administration.

Speaker 1 (01:17:01):
That was the gist of my tweet. No all moving
on hollidays. That's the Italian slur for black.

Speaker 2 (01:17:08):
People, from Kawanza to m ok Junior Day, the Black
History Months of Juneteenth, every single one needs to be eviscerated.
And this is the person if Donald Trump wants to
lead the Office of Special Counsel. Hmmm, that racist all.
Look at Paul. So, actually, how do you think his

(01:17:31):
Senate hearing is going to go on Thursday?

Speaker 5 (01:17:35):
This is gonna be interesting never trusted China man, Like,
this is all levels of racism at its best, and
it's and it's interesting that they can say it of
whatever they want, so we can't. So it's so this
race is gonna be very interesting. I would definitely be
glued into this because it's just like they can get
away with everything and say what they want.

Speaker 1 (01:17:57):
I don't think that's gonna fly on the Congo.

Speaker 2 (01:17:59):
Don't be if Trump has to pull his name, because
I don't see Republicans defending that level of racism, especially
the Nazi street.

Speaker 7 (01:18:12):
I think that's going to be interesting. I mean, at
the end of the day, they didn't confirm ed Martin.
But the challenge with that is that people like Ed
Martin still get positions within the government if Trump likes you.
So I think it would be great to see the Senate,
you know, stand up. I mean, they put so many
other horrible appointees in office. It's disgusting, but it would
be great to see them stand up to him. But

(01:18:33):
this is one of the guys that Jad Vansel call,
you know, just kids being kids. I mean, the man
is thirty years old, and so it seems like as
it relates to Trump, like being a racist, being somebody
who has some type of sexual assault or case of harassment.

Speaker 6 (01:18:49):
Case like these are resume builders for Trump.

Speaker 7 (01:18:52):
So the way that these guys keep finding their way
to the top, it's absolutely ridiculous. But I do feel
like at some point these guys in the Senate are
going to have another breaking point, and as they had
Ad Martin and I believe.

Speaker 6 (01:19:04):
That this has to be the guy.

Speaker 7 (01:19:05):
Now, if this political chat stuff didn't come out, you know,
I feel like there's still enough out there on him
that people would have known. So the fact that he
got this far as problematic. But yeah, if this happens
ruling wow, But yeah, I'm with y'all. I can't see
it happening, folks.

Speaker 2 (01:19:22):
So one more thing before I go to the break,
and that is if you want to talk about how
shameful and despicable Donald Trump is, you remember when they
announced that, oh, they were going to be building this
new ballroom on the grounds of the White House, and

(01:19:44):
Donald Trump said that we're not going to be touching
the White House.

Speaker 1 (01:19:48):
This is the renderings if they actually.

Speaker 2 (01:19:50):
Released showing this this ballroom that's gonna be three times
as large as the East Room and it can accommodate
six hundred and fifty people, and it's gonna cost two
hundred two and fifty men dollars. And they released this
here what it's gonna look like on the inside. And
he wants a new ballroom similar to the one that
he has at mar Largo, and and just all my

(01:20:12):
goodness and how amazing and exciting.

Speaker 1 (01:20:15):
Uh, this is going to be this whole new ballroom.

Speaker 11 (01:20:18):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:20:18):
Remember he said it was not going to impact the
White House at all.

Speaker 1 (01:20:24):
It was not going to impact it all.

Speaker 32 (01:20:26):
Hm.

Speaker 2 (01:20:26):
It's very interesting that he said that, y'all because when
you actually.

Speaker 1 (01:20:32):
Look at this, Washington Post posted this story that this
is what the east side of the White House looks
like right now. Oh wow.

Speaker 2 (01:20:44):
He said, oh no, no, no, no, We're not gonna
touch it at all.

Speaker 1 (01:20:48):
We're not gonna touch it at all. It's not gonna
be touched it all.

Speaker 2 (01:20:51):
Now that's also a process because the White House is
a destoryed building. But see, Donald Trump don't give a
shit about loss. His whole deal is I'm gonna do whatever.
Here's another photo on social media someone posted of the
east side of the White House, and uh, there are more. Yes,
that's another photo, and so uh, here are just some

(01:21:12):
more photos right here that people posted. Here was a
video that somebody posted again y'all, this is this is
the east side of the White House. So again, so
see Trump's whole dealers. I can give what the hell
I want to. I'll give a damn about rule. This
is somebody here who posted a time lapsed video of
them tearing portions of it down.

Speaker 1 (01:21:31):
You see it right here. Yeah, that's what they're doing.

Speaker 2 (01:21:33):
So remember he said, oh, yeah, we're not gonna do so,
and and I've walked through like right here, y'all, I've
walked through this is this is that eastern portion. So
what happens is when you when when you go to
the White House, when you go to the White House
and they have events there, normally what happens is you're
walking through, uh, that east portion. Matter of fact, I'm
gonna try to find some videos. I was there for

(01:21:57):
my goodness, I was there last for for the Christmas
party that took place at the White House. And so
what happens is you normally are walking through eastern portion.
You get in going to get to the White House,
and in the eastern portion of the White House, let

(01:22:17):
me see him trying to think so bide. And they
had the Christmas party. Give me one second, y'all. They
had the Christmas party there. That was in December. It
was in December, I know. I shot a video was
in the so I think that was around December sixth
or so something like that when they had the Christmas party.

(01:22:40):
And so normally what happens is you walk through, you
walk through the eastern portion.

Speaker 1 (01:22:47):
To get to the White House and you go through
down the hallway.

Speaker 2 (01:22:51):
Well that's all gone now because Donald Trump wants to
build his latest monument. Now keep in mind, this is
the same idiot who did you want to talk about
some pathetic stuff. Remember the wonderful Rose Gardener was built
by Jackie Kennedy. Well, Donald Trump he visitted that and

(01:23:12):
just paved over the rose garden because he wanted this
patio very similar to what he has at mar Largo.
So he's basically turning the White House into another mar Largo.
That's what he's actually doing here. And to talk about

(01:23:34):
just shameful and despicable on my congo the destruction he's causing.

Speaker 1 (01:23:39):
And I'm telling you right now, I saw Joe Walsh.

Speaker 2 (01:23:41):
He had a tweet, Joe Wah said that if I
was running, if I was running for president, he said,
one of my campaign slogans would be I'm taking a
sledgehammer to that damn ballroom, tearing that sucker down, and
restrowing the White House to what it was before this
thug arrived.

Speaker 7 (01:24:01):
Yeah, And it's one thing to have this president take
a hammer to all of our institutions. And it's tragic,
and it's problematic, and it's all of the the scriptors
that we use. But to see like the basically the
physical hammer being taken to an institution, a physical institution
like the White House and just tear it down, it's
just it's just really a reminder of how this man

(01:24:24):
is committed to destroying everything and rebuilding it in his image.
And and as this man is sending billions to Argentina,
as he is taking jets from Qatar, you know, and
he's using millions of dollars people claim they know where
it's coming from to rebuild the White House. Why Americans
are struggling in every way, shape or form, imaginabook, even
like what we just saw with a Kim Jeffries. This

(01:24:45):
this man is a one man representative of the Gilded
Age on steroids. And I just wonder how long it's
going to be before American people, you know, are showing
up regularly at the White House, you know, in protest,
driving their trailers down there, driving down there to let
people know that we're not gonna stand for this. But
this man, what we'll see when he was in the
meeting last week in Egypt talking one of the presidents.

(01:25:08):
So I'm going to introduce it to my son, are
set up that meeting. The corruption is real, it's evident
in everything that we're doing. But seeing him strike that
hammer like literally with that machine to destroy one of
America's institutions against so he can have a ballroom, but
also Roland mar and it's also reminded that he is
somebody who does not plan on leaving the White House,

(01:25:29):
and that's why he's trying to create it in mar
Lago's image.

Speaker 1 (01:25:32):
Actually, what people don't understand is that, I mean, we
know the history.

Speaker 2 (01:25:35):
What happens is when they have large events there, they
have large events in the White House. Listen, they just
have it under a tent they have on the South lawn.
Because you're not having events all the time No, this
dumb ass. He wants to go ahead and erect this
building that's not going to be used all the time.
That's why they typically have events in the East Room

(01:25:56):
because it again, it can hold the folks. Guess what
if you need larger events? They wrecked tense, they put
them up, they take them down. No, here's so deal
is now, what the hell we're gonna spend two hundred
and fifty million dollars of the people's money because I
could do whatever the hell I want and I don't care.

Speaker 1 (01:26:12):
So he lied, He straight up lied. He lied about
how it was. It was not going to touch the
White House.

Speaker 2 (01:26:18):
And I'm sure Carolyn Levitt's chief liar is going to
defend his lying more morbage, Lyne.

Speaker 5 (01:26:26):
He's only going to be there three and a half,
three and a little, a couple of month more months,
three years, with a couple more months. I cannot believe
he's doing this. The Pulma presidents are probably rolling over
in their grades.

Speaker 1 (01:26:38):
So bro, Actually, we do have several that are still alive.

Speaker 2 (01:26:42):
So so now about rolling, I mean, Biden's still here, Oba,
but Biden is still here, Obama's still here.

Speaker 1 (01:26:49):
George W.

Speaker 2 (01:26:49):
Bush is still here Bill Clinton is still here, go ahead,
not still here?

Speaker 5 (01:26:54):
Because Bida got up and said, even Vice President kaml
La Harris when they were shop shouting at her arab rusk,
she said, look, I'm not your president. So everybody who's
still living, they already pissed.

Speaker 1 (01:27:04):
But I mean those who can't.

Speaker 5 (01:27:06):
Even say anything. The legacy that's been built, sixteen hundred
Penncivlanian Avenue. We're not supposed to do certain things. But
the fact that he just does not get permission, don't care.
It shows narcissism.

Speaker 17 (01:27:16):
It shows just just just just.

Speaker 1 (01:27:20):
He's wild of this one. But but but again, but
he's a liar. He's a narcissi and the liar. Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:27:25):
This was one of the from Christmas when they had
the Vice Christmas party. So basically this right here, y'all,
this entryway it's gone, it's torn down.

Speaker 33 (01:27:33):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:27:33):
This was the hallway that you walked down the hall
in the east wing to get into the west wing.
That's torn down as well. Uh. And so this is
so this show, which is the building cross Street that's
a tear. That's the Treasury Department. So all of this
portion you're seeing right here where again you walked into
the side of the East wing. All of this, these
columns and everything, all that's been torn down to make way.

Speaker 1 (01:27:53):
So this is the hallway as well.

Speaker 2 (01:27:55):
It's all torn down to make way for Trump's pathetic
ass ballroom. And so that's what you got going on there.

Speaker 1 (01:28:01):
All right, folks, gotta go to break. We've come back.

Speaker 3 (01:28:03):
Steven A.

Speaker 2 (01:28:03):
Smith continues to rip into consoleman a Jasmin Crockett.

Speaker 1 (01:28:08):
I have no idea. Why listen.

Speaker 2 (01:28:10):
You can give your opinion all day, but please get
your facts straight.

Speaker 1 (01:28:14):
I got a fact check. Next rolling built on the
Black sid.

Speaker 31 (01:28:16):
Network Thompson with Women with Black Men dot Org. You're

(01:29:02):
watching Roland Martin unfiltered.

Speaker 23 (01:29:07):
Mm hm m hmmm mmm mm hm m hm h.

Speaker 1 (01:29:16):
M hm m hm m m hm m m m m.

Speaker 23 (01:29:26):
H m hm m h m hm m hm hm.

Speaker 2 (01:29:34):
M m hmmm mm hmmm mmmmmmm mm hmmm mmmmmmm.

Speaker 1 (01:29:44):
Mm hmmm mm hmmm.

Speaker 23 (01:29:46):
All right, y'all.

Speaker 2 (01:29:47):
Last couple of weeks, there's a lot of people talking
about steven A. Smith making comments, criticizing commentswoman Jasmine Crockett
and how she handles herself from the criticism of Donald Trump.
So he made the initial comments on his serious, excellent
radio show, and then we could go we address that
and so.

Speaker 1 (01:30:09):
Roll. So this was the initial comments.

Speaker 2 (01:30:11):
Okay, just so let's roll the initial we have initial comments,
go ahead and roll.

Speaker 1 (01:30:14):
That, and go ahead.

Speaker 30 (01:30:17):
How Jasmine Crockett chooses to express herself, I'm like, is
that gonna help your district in Texas? Aren't you there
to find a way to get stuff done? As opposed
to just being an impediment to what to what Trump wants?

Speaker 1 (01:30:33):
How much work goes into that.

Speaker 30 (01:30:35):
I'm just gonna go off about Trump cuts him out
every chance I get, say the most derogatory and send
you everything's imaginabull and that's my day's work. That ain't work.
Work is saying that's the man in power. I know
what his agenda is. I'm not exactly in the position
to stop him since the Republicans have the Senate and

(01:30:59):
the House.

Speaker 2 (01:31:00):
But maybe if I'm willing to work with this man,
I might.

Speaker 30 (01:31:04):
Get something out of it for my constituency, because, like
Joe Manchin said, he's there to represent or was there
for fifteen years to represent the.

Speaker 1 (01:31:14):
People of West Virginia. She's supposed to be there to
represent the people that Jixas I don't know.

Speaker 30 (01:31:23):
Maybe that just sounds ignorant because it's so simple.

Speaker 1 (01:31:28):
But it ain't that damn complicated. We make it complicated.

Speaker 3 (01:31:38):
Damn it's frustrating.

Speaker 1 (01:31:42):
It really can be.

Speaker 2 (01:31:44):
All right, two things Steven ain't say that's correct. He says,
it's not that complicated, and it's simple. Yeah, facts are
extremely simple, and he doesn't even know any of the facts.

Speaker 1 (01:31:55):
He literally has no clue he's talking about it none.

Speaker 2 (01:31:58):
Okay, so we could go be a So then the
folks at the Pivot they got their interview with Stephen
A and so then he decided to comment again on
comming from a Jasmine Crockett.

Speaker 30 (01:32:11):
You know the other day, because they said I was
insulting Jasmine Crockett.

Speaker 1 (01:32:16):
Why you got to call out the sister because.

Speaker 30 (01:32:17):
The sisters the one sounding like that. I know she's intelligent,
I know she's accomplished, I know she's smart. That's not
what I said. What I said was, that's not how
you sounded. You sound a belligerent talking about the president.
You're a representative representing the state of Texas in your
district in Texas.

Speaker 1 (01:32:35):
They didn't send you there for that. They sent you
there to find a way.

Speaker 30 (01:32:39):
To get what you can for us while he's in office,
while assisted him getting.

Speaker 1 (01:32:44):
Out of office, so you could get somebody in there
who's more favorable to my district.

Speaker 2 (01:32:49):
Same thing with AOC, Same thing Withever Swallwell in California.

Speaker 1 (01:32:53):
Same thing with any elected official. Your job is not
to go there and say, Durrea the president. I could
do that. You're a representative, you're an elected official. You're
on Capitol Hill. What are you doing. You're supposed to
be working.

Speaker 30 (01:33:10):
You cannot be working if all you're saying is I
don't care what it comes up with.

Speaker 6 (01:33:15):
I'm not I'm not agreeing to it.

Speaker 1 (01:33:18):
You can't listen.

Speaker 3 (01:33:18):
You can't figure out what listen.

Speaker 1 (01:33:20):
He's a president.

Speaker 30 (01:33:22):
I don't like it, but damn he gonna be here
until twenty twenty eight. I got one hundred thousand, two
hundred thousand, three hundred thousand constituents to deal with.

Speaker 2 (01:33:34):
Let me see what I can get, all right this weekend.
Before I get into it now, A lot of people
have been ripping.

Speaker 1 (01:33:46):
Stephen A.

Speaker 2 (01:33:47):
Force comments Tika Mallory coach, I'm unto a freedom. She
said this here, she said, black men have a question.
I see a lot of great commentary for many of
you on Stephen A. Smith's ignorant statements from time and
time again, this time he disrespecting the powerful black woman
who's putting her life in danger fighting for us.

Speaker 1 (01:34:03):
At what point will you all leave the charge to
turn him off?

Speaker 2 (01:34:06):
Then Bakari Sellers made some comments and then Steve they
took offense to that, and here's just.

Speaker 1 (01:34:11):
Some of what Bacar said.

Speaker 30 (01:34:15):
Well, Bacari Sellers needs to recognize is why don't you
tell what the truth is? Why don't you speak about
the level of resentment that you really really have, that
the American people are more willing to listen to somebody
like me or the others that you mentioned, rather than
you who's been doing this for years out of South Carolina.

Speaker 1 (01:34:36):
And then some nobody cared.

Speaker 2 (01:34:38):
What you So that's a whole bunch of nonsense back
and forth. And then I know what it is all
them want to show a little bit. So then Bacari speaks.

Speaker 34 (01:34:48):
Usually I ascribe to the notion that you don't roll
around with pigs because you both get moundy and a
pig likes it, or you never argue with fools because
people who are watching can't tell the difference, but I
thought it was necessary just for me to resc found
and be extremely clear about my issue. And stephen is this.
I utilize words like Charlotte's because you use your platform,
one that you've grown with great success, a very large

(01:35:10):
platform that people listen to. But you use your platform
to tear down the people who are actually in our
communities doing the work.

Speaker 1 (01:35:18):
That is all right, So you can go to social
media look at book. Hearst full response.

Speaker 2 (01:35:21):
Okay, see, but I'm not getting to the name calling,
getting all that sort of back and forth.

Speaker 1 (01:35:27):
I deal in facts, and this is what I've said.

Speaker 2 (01:35:31):
I've said this to stephen A himself, that steven A,
you need to deal in facts. If you're gonna get
out of here and start saying stuff, at least be factual.
So in the pivot clip, he talked about that Congresswoman
A Jasmin Crockett was there to said represent Texas. No,
he's wrong, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett represents the thirtieth congressional district.

Speaker 1 (01:35:52):
That's just the district.

Speaker 3 (01:35:54):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:35:55):
In the same comment, stephen A said that Jasmine Crockett
said that Jasmin Crockett, Jasmin Crockett represents one hundred two
hundred thousand, three hundred thousand people know, stephen A, you're wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:36:15):
Go to my iPad. This is literally from her site
about the congresswoman.

Speaker 2 (01:36:21):
Home to over seven hundred and fifty thousand North Texas,
Texas's thirtieth congressional district is a vibrant community in the
heart of the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex, featuring both Dallas
and Tern Counties. Steven A, you said one hundred two
hundre three hundred thousand. No, it's seven hundred and fifty thousand,

(01:36:42):
steven A. If you know anything about politics, you will
know that congressional districts are portioned to be about the
same size. There are four hundred and thirty five congressional
districts about similar population. Some have a little bit more people,
some have fewer, but it's about the same. And they
are portioning that way for a reason.

Speaker 1 (01:37:04):
So then you're you're you're wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:37:07):
Then you said that, well, you know, all she does
is sit here, and all she does is just complain
about Trump and and and she's not doing uh any work,
And I don't know what she's doing. And that that
that's that's what's That's what you said, stephen A. That's
what you said, and it's kind of right here on

(01:37:33):
on the website. See this is why research matters. See
you can pop off and run your mouth and just
be loud. And I find it interesting you're criticizing her
for the exact same thing that you do on first
take every day.

Speaker 1 (01:37:48):
But she also has facts in here.

Speaker 2 (01:37:52):
So this is literally right here. It's literally right here.
It lays out what she did in the state legislature.
It lays out booms. She was elected as freshman leadership
in the nineteenth She's appointed to the vice ranking member
of the House Oversight Committee. She serves on the House

(01:38:16):
Judiciary Committee. She's appointed the Communications Task Force coulture for
the Democratic Women's Caucus.

Speaker 1 (01:38:23):
I mean, it literally lays out what she does.

Speaker 2 (01:38:27):
And so then stephen A makes this comment about how
she's wrong and she's wrong and she's wrong about this
and she's just popping off and she's just that's not
what they sent her for. Let me ask you a question,
stephen A. Are you a voter in the thirtieth Congressional

(01:38:48):
District of Texas.

Speaker 1 (01:38:54):
I know who is stephen A.

Speaker 2 (01:38:59):
Yep, my homestead in Texas resides in the thirtieth Congressional district.

Speaker 1 (01:39:08):
I am a voter.

Speaker 2 (01:39:11):
So when you go on the Pivot and your series,
Exit radio show and Seeing In and News Nation, and
here's the deal, I don't care go all those shows.

Speaker 1 (01:39:23):
When you go on all those shows and you say.

Speaker 2 (01:39:28):
What the voters of the thirtieth Congressional District did not
send Jaspin.

Speaker 1 (01:39:35):
Crockett to do? How do you know that when you
aren't one of them? I am. And the fact of
the matter is, stephen A, the voters of the thirty
Congression district did.

Speaker 2 (01:39:52):
Send Jaspin Crockett to fight MAGA.

Speaker 1 (01:39:59):
They they did. We we did send.

Speaker 2 (01:40:04):
Jasmin Crockett to fight for the voters. We did send
Jasmin Crockett to fight the agenda. Now, now it's very
interesting when when again, when when you go on television
and you sit here and proclaim what the voters.

Speaker 1 (01:40:28):
Of District thirty. Okay, stephen A, this is a fact.
This is the results from the November twenty twenty four election.

Speaker 2 (01:40:41):
Jasmin Crockett received eighty four point nine percent of the
votes cast.

Speaker 1 (01:40:52):
Stephen A, Where where I come from, stephen A.

Speaker 2 (01:40:59):
That's called a resounding victory when more than two hundred
thousand votes are cast. I'm sorry, more than two hundred
and thirty nine thousand votes are cast, and Crockett got
one hundred and ninety seven thousand, six hundred and fifty

(01:41:21):
of them. So it had is pretty arrogant of you
to say what the voters of the thirtieth Congressional District
did not send her to do when she's doing exactly
what the voter sent.

Speaker 3 (01:41:38):
Her to do.

Speaker 1 (01:41:40):
So then stephen A, you go on and you start
talking about how, oh, oh, oh oh, how she has
to she has to she has to work with Trump.

Speaker 2 (01:41:57):
Not really, steven Ah. You love talking about the Constitution.
Have you actually read it? I would question, I would
ask this question of you, stephen A. Do you know
how money is appropriated in the United States? It doesn't

(01:42:17):
start at that building that's two blocks from me right now,
sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue.

Speaker 1 (01:42:23):
Steven A, let me help you out.

Speaker 2 (01:42:28):
The president presents a budget. Congress is under no obligation,
stephen A, to respond to the president's budget.

Speaker 1 (01:42:43):
Do you know why? Go to my iPad, Anthony. It
is called it is called the appropriations clause, stephen A.

Speaker 2 (01:42:52):
In the United States Constitution, stephen A, it states that
anything dealing with money must originate in the US House
of Representatives, the US House.

Speaker 3 (01:43:10):
Not.

Speaker 1 (01:43:11):
The White House.

Speaker 2 (01:43:13):
So when you go on and on and on talking
about how she ain't got to work on this man, No,
she does it, stephen A, because he doesn't appropriate money.

Speaker 1 (01:43:25):
The House does.

Speaker 2 (01:43:28):
And when a bill passes the House, stephen A, it
goes to the Senate, and then the Senate could very
well pass their own bill. And if they do, the
Senate and the House go into conference. They have to
reconcile the bills. Once they reconcile the bills, the House revotes,

(01:43:54):
the Senate revote, and the pass it goes to the
President for a six Now, stephen A, you said that
she needs to work with him. You don't know jack
about how things work in the House.

Speaker 1 (01:44:15):
Stephen A. You said, oh my god, she gotta work
with them.

Speaker 2 (01:44:21):
Okay, that's interesting. Here's an actual letter. See what I did,
stephen A, was instead of running my mouth, I actually
called and I did research. And this is a letter
that was sent May eleventh, twenty twenty three. This was
under Biden. And this is a bipartisan effort from between

(01:44:44):
Republicans and Democrats to deal with a particular project in Texas.
It's dealing with arpah H. Look at this, we right
to express our strong support in the selection of Texas
as ARPA h's customer Experience hub with Pegas's Park in

(01:45:06):
Dallas serving as the site for physical office space. This
right here, stephen A, is a bi partisan effort. Oh, Steven,
do you see that that's the signature of Jasmin Crockett.
On the right side is the signature of Kay Granger, unfortunately,

(01:45:26):
who has dementia. Now I'm no normal member of Congress,
So you say. The reason I'm quite familiar with Kay
Granger because I covered City.

Speaker 1 (01:45:33):
Hall in Fort Worth, was she was the mayor.

Speaker 2 (01:45:36):
And so here's an effort where Jasmin Crockett work with
a Republican from Tanner County.

Speaker 1 (01:45:45):
Texas.

Speaker 2 (01:45:47):
To secure this project that's called working across the Aisle.
Operated word there, stephen A is.

Speaker 1 (01:45:59):
Working, you questioned, She's just they're running her mouth. Mark six,
twenty twenty four press release. Crockett secures ten.

Speaker 2 (01:46:11):
Point four million dollars for local projects in first package
of government funding for fiscal year twenty twenty four, representing
the Crockett Champion funding for eleven projects that will directly
benefit Texas's thirty congressional district under this bill.

Speaker 1 (01:46:29):
They include six.

Speaker 2 (01:46:30):
Hundred thousand for the Bontan Farms Bayer Resource Center ninetred
and fifty nine thousand the City of Lancaster for wastewater
improvement projects, five hundred thousand for the University of North Texas,
a Dallas College of Law adering of fifty thousand for
fair Park first development for the community park at fair
Park Adred and fifty thousand dollars for the City of
grandit Pario for expansion of Lake Ridge A Bridge. One

(01:46:52):
point six million the City of De Soto for Hampton
Road redevelopment, five hundred thousand dollars the Texas Trust for
Public Land for US Charles R. Rose Community Park, two
point five million to the City of Dallas for enhancements
to the Martins of the King Junior Community Center, eight
hundred and fifty thousand for renovation of Park South Family YMCA,
two hundred thousand for technical improvements at the Solo Regional Jail.

(01:47:15):
A million dollars in the City of Cedar Hill for
US Highway sixty seven tenwel bridge and intersection improvements that
stephen A was for fiscal year twenty.

Speaker 1 (01:47:28):
And twenty four.

Speaker 2 (01:47:30):
Now, I'm sure you're watching stephen A. You're probably saying
to me, oh, for who I go to that one.
Let me just also add to this, there was another
story here. It was a Dallas Warning News story. Least
I can pull it up here where Representative Crockett.

Speaker 1 (01:47:50):
Got me.

Speaker 2 (01:47:50):
Go ahead, let me try to give me one second
because I do want to show this here. Because again,
when you go on podcast and you claim that all
she does is run her mouth and she doesn't do
any work, then when you have receipts showing the work,
it's it's kind of like exposes. You literally don't know

(01:48:13):
what you're talking about. And there was another where she
she worked, she got where she worked with. I'm gonna
look at it this way. Right here, this is Mark fifteenth,
twenty four, Crockett all read announced eighty million dollars investment
to connect Dallas neighborhoods through bipartisan infrastructure law. That was

(01:48:35):
a bill under Biden Harris. They got eighty million dollars.
Now again, Steve Man, you've probably sitting there saying, well, okay,
Roland that's fine, because.

Speaker 1 (01:48:47):
So the Biden.

Speaker 2 (01:48:50):
Uh huh, Well, Steve A, you may not be aware,
but that was an appropriation bill that Congress what's going
to vote for, and Trump ordered ordered them not to
vote for it.

Speaker 1 (01:49:11):
So what does that mean.

Speaker 2 (01:49:18):
That means that the projects that were supposed to happen
didn't get funded. So what has happened twenty twenty five? Well,
stephen A, there's a government shutdown right now. Why is
there a government shutdown? Because it's a continuing resolution, and

(01:49:39):
a continuing resolution means let's continue to vote to keep
things as they are. No new projects, see one of
the things that Again, this is what happened, stephen A.
When you don't know shit about how government works, members

(01:50:03):
of Congress get to submit in the appropriations bill multiple projects,
and what happens is when they're going through the budget process,
members of Congress get to submit the proposals. Now, again,

(01:50:26):
this is why you gotta be careful, stephen A. When
you're just running your mouth and you don't know jack
about politics, go to my iPad Anthony.

Speaker 1 (01:50:38):
In the US House.

Speaker 2 (01:50:39):
Represent this each member of Congress, each member, that's four
hundred and thirty five.

Speaker 1 (01:50:45):
Stephen A, Republicans and Democrats.

Speaker 2 (01:50:47):
They are allowed to submit a maximum of fifteen Community
project funding requests CPF also known as earmarks during the
annual appro procreation process. Well, this is a common limit
for House members. The rules for congressionally directed spending and
the Senate are different. What does this say right here?

(01:51:11):
Each member is capped at sixteen. Funding was available only
to state and local governments and certain nonprofit organizations. All
submitted requests are required to be posted publicly on the
members website, and it details all these different things. Well,
stephen A, the problem is the House hasn't voted on

(01:51:33):
appropriations bill.

Speaker 1 (01:51:35):
That's for the continued resolution.

Speaker 2 (01:51:37):
See the reason we're in the government shut down because
the Republicans want to pass a CR, a continuing resolution
to fund the government as is until November twenty first,
so they can eventually actually pass an appropriations bill. So
when you say she's just popping off criticizing Trump, well,

(01:51:58):
Steven A. The Republicans speaker Mike Johnson has had the Democrats.

Speaker 1 (01:52:06):
For seventy two of the last eighty four days not
in session.

Speaker 2 (01:52:15):
Okay, So when you say how many bills has the
House passed in.

Speaker 1 (01:52:28):
Twenty twenty five. Huh, they passed ninety laws, but.

Speaker 2 (01:52:39):
Many of them really aren't even significant. That not am
major laws. So, Steve, and when you said she needs
to be working, well, it's kind of hard, stephen A,
to work, meaning past bills, when the Republicans can't even
pass bills because they in a recession. And so you remember,

(01:52:59):
you sit on rational committees, you do congressional work that
those things actually happen. We have a setment here called
the Crockett Chronicles where we often will show her speaking
on the committee that she actually sits on. That's actually
called work. Oh so your argument, stephen A.

Speaker 3 (01:53:25):
Is that.

Speaker 2 (01:53:27):
Comes want to Jasmin Crockett. She's to be watching her
tone and what she's saying, because she's to watch how
she talks because she's gonna work with this man to
get stuff for her district. I've already explained to you,
stephen A, that every member, regardless of whether you Republican Democrat,
you get a maximum fifteen requests. Oh okay, So allow

(01:53:51):
me to show you some evidence, stephen A, of what
happens when you are a Republican.

Speaker 1 (01:53:56):
Can y'all pull the Nancy may story up? Do y'all
have that we need to pull it up. Okay, So
Nancy Mace rips biden infrastructure bill. Let me show you
this here, stephen A.

Speaker 2 (01:54:16):
Nancy Macey is a Republican out of South Carolina.

Speaker 1 (01:54:21):
Nancy Mace ripped it as socialists, she called it. She
trash Biden.

Speaker 35 (01:54:33):
She did all this sort of stuff. I mean, she
dog Biden all the time. And man, she was just,
oh my.

Speaker 1 (01:54:43):
God, it was just going on and on.

Speaker 2 (01:54:46):
Oh Senner, Tommy Tuberville, stephen A was just dogging, just
dogging Biden.

Speaker 1 (01:54:55):
This is just spending too much money. He was just
going on and on, on and on.

Speaker 2 (01:55:01):
They were trashing Biden Harris left and right. But what happened,
stevin A when the bill passed because Democrats had that
votes and by signed you what happened?

Speaker 1 (01:55:17):
Huh? Go to my eyeped Anthony.

Speaker 2 (01:55:20):
Gop celebrates vite on infrastructure investments they voted against. So
Stephen ain't the very same people who bad mouthed dog Biden.
Harris said this was socialism, saying it was wasteful spending.
They just said all kind of stuff. Oh my god,

(01:55:44):
they start taking credit for the money. You think I'm lying. Oh,
look at this August twenty This is an article from
Yahoo from The Daily Beast stephen A THEYD August twenty
of twenty twenty five. Nancy Mays brags about helping secure
historic infrastructure funds she voted against.

Speaker 1 (01:56:09):
Ain't that something?

Speaker 2 (01:56:11):
On News Match she talked about her ties to Trump,
her record of delivering for South.

Speaker 1 (01:56:16):
Carolinians, but she voted against the bill. Stephen A, here's a.

Speaker 2 (01:56:20):
Photo of Biden signing the law. So I'm just curious,
stephen A. Did you call out Nancy Mace for her
tone trash and Biden? Did you call out Tubberville for
his tone trashing Biden? Did you call out Jim Jordan

(01:56:48):
for his tone? Did you call out Randy Fine? Did
you call out Matt Gates? Did you call out any Republican?
I mean, my god, we got the video, We got
tons of videos, stephen ain't did you call out any
of these Republicans and tell them you should watch your tone.

(01:57:08):
Your job is to fight for your constituents. Your job
is to bring things back. You shouldn't be saying these things.
You shouldn't be saying that your agenda is to stop Biden,
because that's what they said. I recall McConnell's saying it,
Thoon saying it. I can recall numerous how Mike Johnson, Kevin.

Speaker 1 (01:57:28):
McCarthy, we can go on.

Speaker 2 (01:57:30):
I can recall so many Republicans trashing Biden, Harris left
and right, calling them communists, socialists, Marxists, running the country
into the ground financially. Yet when the bill passed, because
Biden picked up thirteen Republican votes, they took credit. Do
y'all have that Biden sound by? See so Biden Biden

(01:57:59):
called out the Republicans. Biden called them out, He called
them out, said for taking credit. But again, I'm just
trying to understand.

Speaker 1 (01:58:15):
Did stephen A.

Speaker 2 (01:58:16):
Call out any Republicans for the vicious language they used
criticizing Biden, but then taking credit when the money starts
showing up? What is the point I'm making here? The

(01:58:39):
point I'm making here is real simple.

Speaker 1 (01:58:40):
Stephen A.

Speaker 2 (01:58:42):
You literally don't know anything about Congress. You know nothing
about how the house works. You know about basketball, NFL,
all sort of stuff like that. You don't know anything
about this. You've done no research. Stephen A, done no studying.
You can't even get the most basic fact correct, which

(01:59:04):
is how many people she represents in the thirty congressional district.

Speaker 1 (01:59:08):
You can to get that right.

Speaker 2 (01:59:09):
And so here's why you get criticized because you pop
off not knowing what you're talking about. And so you're
trying to tell her how she needs to work with
Trump when she doesn't work with Trump. In fact, she
doesn't even meet with Trump Stephen A. Trump meets with

(01:59:33):
Democratic congressional leaders. Who is that House Democratic Leader Hai King, Jeffries,
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. That's who deals with Trump.
They deal with leadership. So if you're going to criticize

(01:59:53):
Jasmine Crockett.

Speaker 1 (01:59:55):
For her tone and how she's not doing her job, are.

Speaker 2 (02:00:02):
You going to tell your audience on Serious XM and
when you go on News Nation and when you go
on Seeing Inn and all the rest of these places,
are you going to tell.

Speaker 1 (02:00:12):
Them what she actually accomplished?

Speaker 2 (02:00:15):
Are you going to bother actually talking with a voter
of the thirty congressional district Because I'm one, my dad's one,
my mom's one, my sister's one, her daughter's one. The
neighbors are voters. I could get you one hundred or

(02:00:36):
two hundred or five hundred to talk with. This is
the problem, stephen A. You make it easy for people
to criticize you.

Speaker 1 (02:00:48):
Hey, look we're cool. You could text me, I could
text you. We can talk, we could communicate. I'm found
all that. You can give your opinion. You can say, Crockett,
her tone.

Speaker 2 (02:00:59):
Is wrong, but I better hear you calling Republicans out.
But let's say you don't even do that. That's a fact.
You can criticize Jasmine Crockett all you want to, but Bru,
you got to get your facts straight. And you're popping
off and running your mouth and none of your facts
are straight, and that's what makes you look silly. And see,

(02:01:21):
had you at your facts straight, I would never had
to do this segment because I had nothing to work with.
But you exposed yourself for your lack of political knowledge.
And what's happening is these television bookers are putting you
on because you are in quote mode. You say things

(02:01:43):
that go viral and they get excited by that. So
guess what of the bookers at CNN and the bookers
at news name. That's why Chris Chris quotma ain't got
no ratings. That's why he pulled Bill O'Riley out the
crypt and got you debating him.

Speaker 1 (02:01:57):
We know all that is, and that's fine. Guess what
I don't. That's great, But brah, just.

Speaker 3 (02:02:04):
Do this.

Speaker 1 (02:02:06):
If you go on TV. And let's be real clear.

Speaker 2 (02:02:11):
When I did first take two or three times when
I sat in for Michael Smith on his and Hers,
I studied. I didn't come on the air just saying whatever.
I brought facts about sports. So if I can do

(02:02:32):
some studying about sports and speak from a factual base, bruh,
you need to do the exact same thing talk about politics.

Speaker 1 (02:02:47):
Because if you don't, you're gonna get dismissed as a
blow hard. And I don't I know.

Speaker 2 (02:02:52):
You don't want to be seen as just somebody who's
full of hot air. Ain't no facts backing them up,
So do better before you start giving political advice. Call
some people, do some research, but stop saying stuff is

(02:03:14):
factually incorrect.

Speaker 1 (02:03:17):
We'll be back in the military.

Speaker 11 (02:03:25):
I gave orders and they went a lot further than
they do around here. If there's one thing I've learned
as a mom and foster parent of more kids than
I can count, investig in their picture isn't a choice enrichment.
I'll fight for Stafford's fair share for our schools, smaller
class sizes, better teacher pay, and more vocational training. I'm

(02:03:47):
Stacey Carol, and I'll fight to get our kids' future
in order.

Speaker 1 (02:03:54):
This week, on the other side of change, books.

Speaker 27 (02:03:56):
Fans, anti intellectualism, and Trump's continued war on wisdom.

Speaker 32 (02:04:00):
This is a coordinated backlash to progress. At the end
of the day, conservatives realized that they couldn't win a
debate on facts. They started using our language against us. Right,
remember when we were all woke and the woke movement.

Speaker 20 (02:04:13):
And all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 (02:04:14):
Now everything is anti woke.

Speaker 32 (02:04:15):
Right when we were talking about including diversity, equity, inclusion,
and higher education, Now it's anti d all this our
efforts to suppress the truth, because truth empowers people.

Speaker 23 (02:04:25):
You're watching the other side of change only on the
Black Star Network.

Speaker 20 (02:04:29):
This is Eric Dickerson and you're watching Roland Martin unfiltered.

Speaker 1 (02:04:39):
Bose.

Speaker 2 (02:04:40):
White black pastes continue to call out racism, especially with
these white pastors in all of their white Christian nationalism.

Speaker 1 (02:04:48):
Here's Bishop Paul Morton of Atlanta.

Speaker 6 (02:04:52):
Bless you, I greet you, and divine love.

Speaker 1 (02:04:54):
Listen.

Speaker 23 (02:04:54):
That's a black preacher.

Speaker 28 (02:04:55):
I'm disappointed by many of our white evangelicals. I just
need to know, Oh, when did they change their mind?
Southern Baptists White Evangelicals formed in eighteen forty five by
white Baptists who split from Northern Baptists over an issue
of slavery and racism that Southern Baptists practiced. But in

(02:05:17):
nineteen ninety five I thought they broke that racist generational
curse because they apologized for their forefathers. Why did they
change their mind or did they believe in their apology?
It was wrong how Charlie Kirk died, but to get

(02:05:39):
the Presidential Medal of Honor, to have the flag lowered
in his honor when his message was.

Speaker 23 (02:05:47):
About degrading black people.

Speaker 28 (02:05:49):
To say doctor Martin Luther King, who sacrificed his life
for black freedom, was a bad man.

Speaker 23 (02:05:56):
To say he would be scared to get on a
plane if he saw a black pilot. He would want
to know as he qualified, to say, black.

Speaker 28 (02:06:05):
Women are not as smart as white women. In white evangelicals,
that's your hero. Have you allowed a racist, unrepented criminal
guilty of fraud, sex abuse, lying thirty four convicted crimes
to poison your heart. Many want a law to make

(02:06:26):
America a Christian nation. America is not a Christian nation,
but it's a nation where Christians in it. Because a
racist life does not represent Christianity. Taking from the poor
and giving to the rich does not represent Christianity. You
should know your Bible. Christianity cannot be a force law.

(02:06:50):
It must be a choice from the heart, not a
shotgun wedding. You have a form of gilderness, but denying
the power thereof If there is no love, the Bible
says you're like a sounding, brass and tinkling symbol that
does not represent God.

Speaker 1 (02:07:10):
Oh guess what.

Speaker 2 (02:07:11):
Pastor Rick Warren had a few things to say about
white folks and racism.

Speaker 3 (02:07:16):
You don't like the Bible.

Speaker 33 (02:07:19):
Because the Bible says you're no better than anybody else,
and nobody else is any better than you. You were
made in the image of God, but so was everybody else,
regardless of their background or their color, or the religion
or the relationships.

Speaker 3 (02:07:35):
Or whoever they are.

Speaker 33 (02:07:40):
You're not any better than anybody else, and nobody is
any better than you. You have dignity, and you are
deeply loved by God. God has never made a person
he doesn't love. God has never made a person he
doesn't have a purpose for God has never made a
person who was not made in his image. We believe
that why because the Bible says that second thing that

(02:08:01):
we believe is because of that.

Speaker 3 (02:08:03):
Racism is sin. It's not optional.

Speaker 33 (02:08:08):
Don't call yourself a Christian if you think you're better
than somebody else.

Speaker 3 (02:08:12):
That's what I just read.

Speaker 33 (02:08:14):
Don't call yourself a Christian because racism is not a
skin issue. It's a sin issue. Racism is actually a
form of idolatry. It says I know better than God,
and I can choose who's good and who's not.

Speaker 3 (02:08:33):
No, you're not. You can't do that because you're not
God and I'm not God.

Speaker 33 (02:08:38):
And so we in this church reject all bigotry, all
white supremacy, We reject all prejudice, we reject all racism.

Speaker 3 (02:08:52):
And so let me just try to be as clear
as I can.

Speaker 33 (02:08:55):
If you're new to Saddleback, if you think prejudice, racism,
and bigot treat is okay, you're not gonna like this church.
You're not gonna like it for three reasons. First, you're
gonna have a problem with me as the pastor because
you're not gonna like what I say, because I'm gonna.

Speaker 3 (02:09:13):
Teach what God says, not what you like to hear.
And so you're gonna have a problem with me.

Speaker 26 (02:09:21):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:09:21):
That was in twenty seventeen, responding to the racist murderer
dealing the roof Now. In twenty twenty, David Platt, the
pastor of McLean Bible Church of Virginia, talked about his
struggles the racism as a white pastor.

Speaker 26 (02:09:37):
There are members and pastors of this church who've made
great sacrifices to be here because they're committed to multi
ethnic community. And so I just want to say, from
my position, I want to sacrifice more of my preferences
as a white pastor. I need to grow and my
laying side of preferences for members of this body because

(02:09:58):
I want Christ to be exaust through increasing diversity and
our leadership and our membership.

Speaker 3 (02:10:04):
On a related note, I do not want to.

Speaker 26 (02:10:06):
Speak from the Bible on issues that are popular among
white followers of Christ while staying silent in the Bible
on issues that are important to non white followers of Christ.
That's not faithful pastoring. I actually read this week how
studies have shown that white church leaders are less likely
to speak and actally prophetically on race issues because white

(02:10:28):
church leaders.

Speaker 14 (02:10:28):
Have more to lose when they do.

Speaker 26 (02:10:31):
Basically, if you want to draw a crowd in general,
stay away from racial issues. If you want to draw
a crowd of white people or black people, or this
type of person or that type of person, then stay
away from saying any one of those types of people
is part of the problem on racial issues because the
reality is many people mainly want to be comforted when
they come to church, and as people were naturally drawn

(02:10:53):
to that which brings the most benefit, most benefit with
the least costs. So if you give people a choice
between the Church of comfort and the Church of comfort,
but you need to make sacrifices to change your life,
people will choose the Church of Comfort most every time.
Which is why we've designed so much of the church
culture the way we have today, and it's why we're
so prone not to talk about issues that are uncomfortable
to us. And I just want to see that the

(02:11:14):
Bible doesn't give us that option. Like Amos five doesn't
give us that option. We cannot truly worship God while
we stay silent on injustice in all kinds of areas
and I know as a white pastor, I have blind spots,
so I am part of the problem. I need friends
and fellow pastors around me from different ethnicities who help
me see those blind spots. And I'm committed to listening

(02:11:36):
and learning and loving, laying aside whatever contemporary church growth
methodology says the best way to grow the church I
ignore the issues.

Speaker 3 (02:11:43):
I want us to do the exact opposite.

Speaker 26 (02:11:44):
I wants to hear God's word clearly on these issues,
and then we can trust him with the growth.

Speaker 3 (02:11:50):
Of his church.

Speaker 2 (02:11:52):
See, I'm a congo, a congo issue dealing with in
the grand This is twenty twenty. You know, we had
pastor ds On talking about like Christian nationalism and what
both of these pastors said one twenty seventeen, twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (02:12:06):
It's just the reality.

Speaker 2 (02:12:07):
White preachers don't want to confront whiteness. They don't want
to speak to it. And so they got all this
stuff today praising Charlie Kirk, but they want to look
over the stuff that he said. This Paul and Gracia Guy.
I can't wait to hear these white consangelicals call this

(02:12:29):
man saying, oh God, Nazi streak. I came wit to
him call it racism. They're not because they preferred his
conservative views over his racist views, and some of them actually.

Speaker 20 (02:12:43):
Like, both, Yeah, that's real.

Speaker 1 (02:12:47):
That's real.

Speaker 7 (02:12:48):
And I really feel like, at the end of the day,
seeing some of these pastors speak up, it's extremely important
because the way that Trump has looked at as some
type of messianic figure and the way that these evangelicals
have used him as a vessel to get so many
of their other policies initiated. I feel like that is
starting to resonate with some other you know, white members

(02:13:08):
of the clergy, and they're starting to speak up. But really,
at the end of the day, they've been silent for
so long. I'm hoping that their words can actually resonate
at this point. But you're right, Roland, too many of
these folks have been comfortable. They wanted to just have
people come to their churches and say, you know, just
don't speak. You know, we're a house of God and
we're just gonna leave it at that. But now they
see the way that Trump is twisting their religion. Even

(02:13:30):
people who aren't you know, exactly pret yet, like James Tallerico,
you know's running for Senate, and I believe it's a minister.
Correct me if I'm wrong, But you know, he's also
not afraid to be able to speak up and talk
about his faith and talk about his religion. And this
is extremely important because these Republicans and MAGA and these
faith these so called evangelicals and the so called Christians

(02:13:52):
have used that Bible to dump people over the head,
whether it's with the ANTALUGYQ rhetoric, whether it's just so
many various pols sees that is extremely hypocritical. And I'm
starting to feel like some of these white pastors have
had enough. They can't continue to let this stuff. Now
I'm talking about white pastors don't identify as evangelicals. I'm
talking about other folks who are out there in this space,

(02:14:13):
and it's extremely necessary. It can't just be the non
white pastors, the non white members of the clergy who
are calling out the hypocrisy of these evangelicals. That's not
going to be the way to go forward. We need
solidarity on this and I'm glad some are finally speaking out,
and but.

Speaker 2 (02:14:29):
More need to speak out. Ashley Pure and Temple.

Speaker 5 (02:14:34):
Christian's battle sin not skin. He was brave for making
a similar statement, because it's so apparent that these white
pastors really just wanted growth. And then now, I mean,
everybody wants to have this megachurch. But now, like you said,
they're standing up and they're gonna they're fighting it. I mean,
I'm glad he admitted. I mean, it's twenty twenty, so
you admitted your blind spots. But how does he feel

(02:14:55):
now on twenty twenty five? Right, But yeah, it's just
for his battle sin, not skinning it it.

Speaker 6 (02:15:01):
Yeah, it's interesting.

Speaker 1 (02:15:04):
Well, botom line is truth has to be spoken, folks.
That's it for us.
