Speaker 1 (02:28):
Folks. It was a shocking and devastating weekend in the
state of Minnesota where two lawmakers were gunned down by
a right wing pro life extremist. It absolutely shocked the
nation when this news came down regarding this shooting. Now,

(02:48):
one of the lawmakers, the former Speaker of the House,
she and her husband were both murdered. They were both
killed as a result of this shooting. Then, of course
you had another lawmaker and his wife. They were shot
seventeen times and both of them, shockingly were able to

(03:10):
survive this shooting. It was an unbelievable attack that so
many people, of course have been talking about, were just
dumbfounded by this. It led to the largest manhunt in
Minnesota state history. Of course, authorities they captured Vance Luther Bolter,

(03:33):
fifty seven years old, fifty seven year old white man
who was accused of gunning down State Representative Melissa Hortman
and her husband. He also shot State Senator John Hoffman
and his wife. Now Bolterer made its first quarter appeers
today to hear the charts against him. He's charged with
two counts of second degree murder in two counts of

(03:54):
attempted second degree murdered. Investigators say he posed as a
cop to ambush the law makers in the wee hours
of the morning on Saturday. The Hortman's again did I survive.
The Hoffins are recovering after after multiple multiple surgery. Minnesota
UH Minnesota Governor. Minnesota's governor is calling it a political

(04:16):
assassination as exactly what it is. The FBI held a
news conference today where they shared details and what we're
also learning is that the shooter visited the homes that
that in the early that night of other lawmakers, and
in fact, one officer encountered him thinking he was a cop.

(04:38):
Here's some of the FBI news conference. M Good morning.

Speaker 5 (04:57):
My name is Joe Thompson, and I'm the act the
United States Attorney for the District of Minnesota. Late last night,
the US Attorney's office filed a complaint bringing an array
of federal charges against vance Luther Belter for his horrific
attack on our state and our elected representatives. Political assassinations

(05:19):
are rare, they strike at the very core of our democracy.
But the details of Belter's crime are even worse. They
are truly chilling. It is no exaggeration to say that
his crimes are the stuff of nightmares. Belter stalked his
victims like prey. He went to their homes, held them

(05:42):
out as a police officer, and shot them in cold blood. Now,
there's been a lot of information and misinformation out there
about Belter's crimes. We have filed a detailed twenty plage complaint,
an affidavit that's sets forth what happened in this case.

(06:03):
I'd like to share some of that information with you now.
In the early morning hours of June fourteenth, Belter went
to the homes of four Minnesota state politicians with the
intent to kill them. Belter first traveled to the home
of Minnesota State Senator John Hoffman in Champlin, Minnesota. Belter

(06:25):
arrived at the senator's home disguised as a police officer.
He arrived in a black suv with emergency lights turned
on and with a license plate that read police. Belter
wore a black tactical vest and body armor. He carried
a flashlight and a Bretta nine milimeter handgun. He also

(06:49):
wore a hyper realistic silicon mask. Senator Hoffman had a
security camera. I've seen the footage from that camera and
it is chilling. Belter knocked on Senator Hoffman's front door
and repeatedly shouted, this is the police. Opened the door.

(07:14):
Senator Hoffman and his white Yvette came to the door.
When they opened the door, Belter shined the flashlight in
their faces and said there had been a shooting reported
in the house. Belter asked if they had any weapons.
When Belter lowered his flashlight, which he had shined in
their face, they realized that he was not a police officer.

(07:34):
They shout it out, you're not a cop, You're not
a police officer. Belter then announced this is a robbery
and forced himself into their home. When Senator Hoffman attempted
to push Belter out and stop him from entering his home,
Belter shot him repeatedly. Belter then shot miss Hoffman repeatedly.

(07:56):
Belter fled the scene, and the Hoffman's daughter called nine Unfortunately,
the Hoffman survived, although they remained hospitalized. After shooting, Senator
Hoffman and his wife, Belter traveled to the home of
another Minnesota state representative in Maple Grove, Minnesota. Video surveillance

(08:21):
showed that Belter rang the doorbell at the state representative's
house at approximately two twenty four am on Friday night. Again,
he was dressed as a law enforcement officer, wearing a
tactical vest and body armor, carrying a handgun and a flashlight,
and wearing that same hyper realistic silicon mask. Again, the images,

(08:44):
as you can see on the screen are haunting. Unfortunately,
the state representative was not home, she and her family
were gone on vacation, and so Belter left. Belter then
traveled to the home of a Minnesota state senator who
lived in New Hope, Minnesota. He parked in the street

(09:06):
in that same black SUV with the police license plate
at about two thirty six am on Friday night. After
learning of the shooting of Senator Hoffman, New Hope police
dispatched an officer to conduct a wellness check on the
state senator who lived in New Hope. When the New
Hope officer arrived at the scene, she saw Belter's black

(09:31):
SUV parked down the block with the lights on. The
New Hole police officer believed that Belter was a police
officer who had been dispatched to the scene to check
on the status of the state senator. The New Hope
police officer pulled up next to Belter in his car,
rolled down her window, and attempted to speak with him.

(09:53):
Belter did not respond, according to the officer, he just
sat there and stared straight ahead. So the New Hope
police officer, who had been dispatched to the scene, proceeded
to the state senator's home and she waited for other
law enforcement to arrive. When they did. By the time
they did, Belter had left the scene. Belter then traveled

(10:19):
to Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, in the home of Minnesota State
Representative Melissa Hortman. At approximately three point thirty am, Belter
arrived at Representative Hortman's house in his black SUV with
the police license plates. He parked in the driveway and
left the emergency lights on his SUV flashing as if

(10:40):
he was a police officer. Belter approached Representative Hortman's home
again dressed as a police officer, wearing the tactical vest
and body armor and wearing that hyper realistic mask. He
was armed and carrying a flashlight before he entered the home.
Two Brooklyn Park Police officers arrived at the scene. They

(11:01):
too had been dispatched to check on Senator and Representative
Portman after learning of the shooting of Senator Hoffman. When
they arrived at the scene, they saw Belter's black SUV
parked in the driveway with the emergency lights flashing, and
they saw Belter standing in front of the house, several

(11:25):
feet from the door. When Belter saw the officers get
out of the car, he drew his weapon and began firing.
He rushed into the house through the front door, firing
into it. He repeatedly fired into the house, and when
he entered, he murdered Representative Portman and her husband Mark.

(11:48):
The Brooklyn Park Police officers fired at bel Belter as
he rushed into the home, but he escaped into the home.

Speaker 6 (11:57):
And out the back.

Speaker 5 (12:00):
Officers recovered Belter's nine milimeter of Bretta, along with the
body armour and the mask behind the home along his
path of flight when he fled on foot. They later
searched Belter's car, where they found five more firearms, including
astaulted style rifles, and a large quantity of ammunition. Belter

(12:23):
also had in his car notebooks containing a list of
more than forty five Minnesota state and federal elected officials,
including Representative Portman. Now, Belter planned his attack carefully. He
researched his victims and their families. He used the Internet

(12:46):
and other tools to find their addresses and names the
names of the family members. He conducted surveillance of their
homes and took notes about the location of their homes.
In other ways, he concealed himself as a police officer,
outfitting his black SUV with police lights and a police

(13:08):
license plate, wearing a black tactical vest and body armor,
carrying a police flashlight and a handgun, and of course
he wore that hyper realistic silicone mask as seen on
the surveillance videos. The video of his arrival and shooting

(13:31):
of Senator Hoffman is truly chilling. Again, it's no exaggeration
to say this is the stuff of nightmares. There's a
photo of the firearms found in Belter's abandoned suv. Based

(13:51):
on these crimes, we brought a federal complaint charging Beltner
with an array of federal charges. Counts one and two
charge him with stocking. Count one charges him with stocking
Representative Melissa Hortman using interstate facilities, and that's Title eighteen
United States Go twenty two to sixty one. The statutory

(14:13):
penalties there are life in prison. Count two similarly contain
is chargesism with stocking State Senator John Hoffman using interstate facilities.
The stat the maximum penalty of that count is twenty
years in prison. Counts three and four charge Belter with

(14:34):
the murder of Melissa and of the Hortman's using a
firearm violation of eighteen USC. Nine to twenty four j
count and these are punishable by a term of life
imprisonment or even death. And Counts five and six charge

(14:57):
him with shooting the Hartman's and the Hoffman's using a firearm,
and both of those towns also carry a maximum sentence
of life in prison. And before I finished my remarks,
I want to say a little bit about law enforcement
and the manhunt that we've heard about the last two days.
Over the fast forty eight hours, federal, state, and local

(15:18):
law enforcement from throughout the state of Minnesota have worked
together together to carry out the largest manhunt in Minnesota history. Now,
a lot has been said about law enforcement in recent weeks,
but make no mistake, the men and women of our federal,
state and local law enforcement put their lives at risk

(15:40):
and on the live on the line to keep Minnesota safe.
They work tirelessly day and night to make sure that
the tragic events of Friday night and it without further
violence or bloodshed. We owe them all of debt of gratitude,
and they will forever have my respect and admiration. To
turn it over to Special Agent Alvin Whidson from the FBI.

Speaker 6 (16:05):
Thanks.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Thanks. Joe was, of course the US attorney and as
you said, this is the FBI there in Minnesota. Will
go to take some of his comments. Then we're going
to go to the state state a representative.

Speaker 7 (16:17):
Cool Field Office, which covers the states of Minnesota, North Dakota,
and South Dakota. I want to begin by extending my
deepened condolences to the families of the victims and to
the community that has been shaken by this devastating act

(16:37):
of violence. Our thoughts remain with those who are grieving
and all who have been impacted by this tragedy. Over
the weekend, the people of Minnesota and the nation have
been watching closely as this case has unfolded. The Minnesota
Bureau of Criminal Apprehension provided a detailed update yesterday, so

(17:02):
I won't repeat those specifics. This was a targeted attack
against individuals who answered the call to public service. The
FBI's role in moments like this is clear to stand
alongside our partners, bring federal resources, intelligence capabilities, and reach

(17:26):
to the effort not just to apprehend the individual responsible,
but to understand the full scope of the threat.

Speaker 6 (17:36):
That work continues.

Speaker 7 (17:39):
This case became the largest coordinated manhunt in Minnesota's history.
We are proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with our
law enforcement partners across the state.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
Let's take a presentative esther Abasha. First of all, Condeli
of the loss of your colleagues. This had to be
for all of you shocking, stunning. And then when you
find out that this person had lists upwards of seventy people,
including Governor Tim Walls, including at turned General Keith Ellison,

(18:18):
and other state officials.

Speaker 8 (18:24):
Yes, thank you for having me on. It has been
a hard weekend, to say the least, knowing that our
colleague leader friend was gunned down in her home, and
then to find out that other legislators, local leaders, whether

(18:46):
they were at the state level the federal level, we're
also on that list. And so I think all of
us are just dealing with what that means.

Speaker 6 (18:57):
When the.

Speaker 8 (18:59):
Increased the potentially.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
There were folks who were saying, oh, here was somebody
that Governor Tim Wall's appointed, so therefore this had to
be a Democrat. Well, we now know that it's not
the case. We now know that this is a Donald
Trump supporter. This is a conservative. And when you have
folks like you taught Senator Mike Lee tweeting blaming Democrats

(19:25):
for what took place, In fact, this is a photo
here where US Senator Tina Smith from Minnesota, you know,
chased him down and wanted to talk to him about
the number of tweets that he has been sending out.
And what is shameful here is how Republicans are sort

(19:46):
of blase about what is a clear and undeniable right
wing political assassination of two Democrats. And everybody on this
man's list were also Democrats. That is what.

Speaker 8 (20:02):
We've come to understand was that all of the legislative
leaders were Democrats. And so I think that does say
something about the world that we're in and the rhetoric
that people continue to use. And I think that it
behooves us to ensure that those of us who are
annective positions are using our platforms for positive viewers. And

(20:26):
I think you know, I'm glad that Senator Senator klobshar
went confronted UH Center Lee about his words. I think
it would make sense for all of us to be
more intention for our words.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Moving understand is as a result of this, you and
all others you now have to take serious precautions. UH.
You now have to assess every single thing about UH
safety in your offices, your home safety. UH. And and
again people expect, you know, to be able to trust

(21:03):
law enforcement and to have this person with the mask
over his face if y'all have have the photo, uh
and then of course impersonating a cop and these lawmakers
believing that he was legitimate.

Speaker 8 (21:18):
Yeah, it's really scary that someone would take an impersonation
of a police officer, whereas many of us are taught
to see the police someone who's there to protect you,
someone who's there to keep you safe, and this person
to complete advantage in that once the time in the middle.
They're thinking that this is someone who's there to give

(21:39):
them inform that help them and someone who harmed them.
So I think that'll be very scary for a lot
of people, talk less of elected officials moving forward.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Indeed, indeed, uh, And it was again the one of
the point I was making. You know, this is Tim
Mike Lee here he tweets nightmare on Walt Street. I mean,
he's literally mocking what took place. This is what the
gunmen looked like when he visits a home. This is

(22:15):
how he actually looked. But that's that is a really
shameful and despicable tweet. When you have two people, a
husband and a wife, one former Speaker of the House
gunned down, two others a state representative and his wife
shot seventeen times.

Speaker 8 (22:37):
Yeah, it's really horrific to think about.

Speaker 6 (22:39):
And it's also really hard.

Speaker 8 (22:42):
And the two other people he went to and how
that's been any one of us that he went to.
People are processing that also with you know, my continued
to be with Sayer Hoffmann and his family and we
pray for uh speedy recovery for that, and of course

(23:03):
we're all devastated and really heartbroken over the lots of
representing this apartment speaker of the house, but I think
for a lot of us can be considered speaker forever.
And so you know, this is just a really hard weekend,
a really hard day, and a really hard times in
Minnesota is going forward, but we will come together.

Speaker 6 (23:24):
You know how to do that. We've been through.

Speaker 8 (23:27):
Difficult times before and we will figure out how to forward.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
We appreciated again our condolences, uh In, Please be safe.
All right, folk's gonna go to break. We'll be right
back right here. Rolland Martin unfiltered on the Blackstar Network.

a father, an uncle, a brother, or and who have
been incarcerated or justice impacted. What does that look like

(25:05):

like for us to be able to have substantive conversations,
come to the table, love on each other while at
the same time get it all out in the open

Speaker 3 (27:05):
And I'm with Roland Martin.

Speaker 6 (27:07):
On Unfiltered.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
Folks. Lots of drama today in the federal trial of
Sean Diddy, Combe's Kennis Kelly Legal, Annas joneses right now, Cannus.

Speaker 8 (27:23):
H Yes, I want to make sure can you hear me?

Speaker 3 (27:25):
Okay, because there's a really.

Speaker 8 (27:29):
Of a it's like a reverb.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
I'm getting yep, we got you, go ahead, okay, all.

Speaker 14 (27:34):
Right, Well listen, as you may have heard, your number
six has been dismissed.

Speaker 8 (27:40):
Forty one year old black man. He was dismissed over
concerns about his.

Speaker 14 (27:44):
Candor after he allegedly had conflicting discussions about where he lived. Now,
as you know, there's a wadier process, and during that
process he said that he did in fact live in
the Bronx. But then someone overheard him saying that he
was coming from the Jersey. So the juror had to
talk had to talk to the judge about where he lived,

(28:04):
and he flipped back and forth so much that the
judge says, listen, we can't we can't trust you.

Speaker 8 (28:10):
It seems as though you are not being candid.

Speaker 14 (28:11):
It seems as though you were trying to actually get
on the cure on this jury. Now, the defense, certainly
they vigorously they argued against this because this was a
forty one year old.

Speaker 8 (28:22):
Black man replaced by a fifty.

Speaker 14 (28:24):
Seven year old white man, and they said that there
was an unfair disadvantage in this.

Speaker 8 (28:29):
They argued this to do with rape.

Speaker 14 (28:35):
What we are saying here is that not as candidates,
it should have been and because of that, it seems
a little suspect in terms of his motives. Now, the defense,
in their fourteenth page letter they said, quote, we believe
that the motive is supported not only by the government's
remarkable decision to use seven nine for refree strikes against

(28:55):
black jurors, but also by the history of investigation and fusion,
which is characterized off and by extreme government outreach from
the beginning.

Speaker 8 (29:04):
So they are saying that this is a race issue.

Speaker 14 (29:06):
If this actually, if he's actually convicted Sean any one
of these charges, certainly this is going to be coming
up during appeal. Now when we look at those stand
after the issue was figured out, we have someone who's
called a summarywitness.

Speaker 8 (29:22):
The summary witness by the name of a non sign car.

Speaker 14 (29:26):
She's a Hurst with the US Office for the District
of York. She had a thirty three page chart that
she walked to jury through. It had people places, it
had information that had specific discussions between Sean Colmes's chief

(29:48):
of staff, Christina Korham, and Seawan Colmes, and it appeared
that she was setting off setting up these.

Speaker 8 (29:55):
Freak offs as well as coordinating the delivery of.

Speaker 14 (29:59):
Thousand dollar in cash, as well as setting up drugs.
We heard of a drug dealer by the name of
Grido and this, according to other witnesses, was one of
Sean's face dwelve providers.

Speaker 8 (30:12):
Now in this.

Speaker 14 (30:13):
Testimony, we also saw on this chart conversations between de
Rock Butler. I'm sure that this is a familiar name
to many people have been following the case. This is
someone who's very involved in Sean Holmes and everything that
we did with security or driving.

Speaker 15 (30:29):
Uh.

Speaker 14 (30:29):
These conversations specifically that the prosecution was touching.

Speaker 8 (30:33):
Based was touching on was based upon the fact that Mia.

Speaker 14 (30:38):
If you remember Mia, she took the stand earlier a
couple of weeks ago, and she said that after the
cast venture beating video came out that it was Sean
Hoolmes and de Ra who reached out to her incessantly
for a week, trying to convince her. She thought that,
you know, this is actually a normal relationship.

Speaker 8 (30:58):
That casting and Shawn Colmes were.

Speaker 14 (31:01):
She also pointed out that De Rock tried to allegedly
attempt to cent her some money, perhaps to try to
bribe her in order to say something positive about Seawan
Colmbs in light of this beating video.

Speaker 8 (31:13):
So we heard about that.

Speaker 14 (31:15):
We also heard from a special agent, another summary witness,
and for those people who don't know, a summary witness
is someone who takes the stand and connects the dots
for all of this information that we've been hearing over
the past five weeks or now in our sixth week
of this particular trial, this particular agent.

Speaker 8 (31:34):
Talked about travel on credit records.

Speaker 14 (31:36):
Showing that allegedly Seawan Colmebs is the one who paid
for this travel. Shahn Colmes is the one who paid
for these particular prostitutes or I guess they're don't like
to use the words escorts if you will, in this situation. Also,

(31:57):
we heard about Jules has He been Church a lot
about jewels.

Speaker 8 (32:01):
So what the prosecution was trying to.

Speaker 14 (32:03):
Do in the with the summary and lasting final witnesses
is to say, hey, we may have Christina Kron, the
chief of staff, coming to the we do have these
digital records connected to everything that has been taking place
now across the defenses saying, listen, there are periods of
time where Christina and Sean don't reach out to any

(32:26):
of the witnesses that have come before us and taken
the stand to give their testimony. So they're saying that
this wasn't something consistent, that this is something that happened
every once in a while, and that there was no
full ursion that was consistent. That's the point that they
are trying to make. We are going to hear from
Brendon Paul later this week. For those people who don't

(32:46):
know who he is.

Speaker 8 (32:47):
He is a former.

Speaker 14 (32:49):
Attendee of Syracuse University basketball player said to be a
major drug provider for Sean Combs. This is one of
the final witnesses that we are going to hear about
from a prosecution role.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
All Right, Kelly, we appreciate it, thanks a lot. All Right, folks,
let's go to our panel talk about a lot of
news we want to deal with. Again, it's a whole lot,
and of course what took place in Minnesota is on
the minds of many that the omen congo to. Being
a senior Profacery Electors, School of Your National Service, American University,

(33:24):
author of Lies about Black People, How to Combat Racist
out of Washington, DC, doctor Julian Malveaux, economist president Emerita
being at College, author of Surviving and Thriving three hundred
and sixty five facts Black economic history. Also joining us
from DC, Kellibathetic communication strategist from DC as well. All right, folks,
when we when we look at what took place in

(33:49):
Minnesota this weekend, Julian, and then when you look at
the Republican response, which is quite muted, this was a
literal political assassination. This man wanted to take out some
seventy people, and I guess for them, oh well, he

(34:14):
was a Democrat. It's no big deal. And they keep
talking about far left violence, far left violence. But he
was a so called pro lifer. So you were upset
your pro life, which you choose to kill two people,
and you really tried to kill more than that. That
really is sadistic and insane.

Speaker 16 (34:40):
I mean, this is the derangement that quite frankly, I
may be going a step too far, but I believe
that this extremism is fueled by the extreme language that
we're hearing these days emanating from the top, the extreme
that that paints the left as extreme, paints people as

(35:04):
out of order. I mean, Karen mayor Karen Bass has
talked I don't know how many times about how the
contrast between what's really happening in LA and what most
people are saying is happening in LA. Thirty thousand people
on the street and only five arrests. I mean, come on, now,
you get more arrests than that at a ballgame when

(35:27):
mega people start drinking beer. So let's just be clear.
But backs in Minnesota because it's such a tragic situation
and the sister who was assassinated two children, so it's
a vocal, but it's also a national tragedy. And the

(35:48):
people that they have on the list, like Keith Ellison,
like so many other elected officials. What bothers me the
most about this role is the ours who are trying
to make light of this, like Mike Lee of Utah,
many others are you know, they're This.

Speaker 17 (36:02):
Is not a joke.

Speaker 16 (36:03):
These are people's lives, and so I'm not sure what
we do. I mean, does this discourage people for running
for public office? Does it mean that we have to
have more security for people?

Speaker 1 (36:14):
Yes?

Speaker 16 (36:16):
Where do we go from here with this kind of
violent rhetoric? And why what won't some of the Republicans
who have painted the left with a broad violent brush,
why don't they back off, dial it back and act
like they have good sense? But of course that's a
little too much to ask for.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
On the congo, though, this really is shocking and devastating
and on so many levels. When I think about the
impersonation of a cop, what mainly comes to mind for
me are the number of ICE agents wearing masks, not

(36:57):
showing IDs. And so the problem is you don't know
who the hell is who. And so if you are
an American citizen, if you're a politician, and frankly, someone
comes knocking on your door or knocking on your window,
you're absolutely your position needs to be, Hey, I don't
know who you are. I need to see IDA. I mean,

(37:20):
even if you say I need to see ID. This
man went as far as having a stun gun, a
vests lights. I mean, you know all of that, and
I guarantee you this is going to lead to copycats.

Speaker 18 (37:38):
And you know it's said because this is all the
stuff that he had, is all stuff he can get online.
You can get online, you can get at a constant store,
you can get an eBay. None of this stuff is regulated. Sure,
impersonating are supposed to be aginst the law, but you
can get access similar to like bomb making material. You
learn how to do all of these things. And when

(38:00):
you also compare that with what you said with the
ICE agents. The very first time I saw that video
of La Mesa in Boston and Tess University student, I'm like,
how are you on the streets supposed to just be
expected to just go to random people who to show
up and mask with no identification. And I have heard
stories rolling of some copycasts, people who aren't afiliated with

(38:22):
ICE at all, just going out there and snatching people up.
And so this is the type of climate that the
Trump administration has created. And so we all need to
be unnoticed.

Speaker 6 (38:33):
If somebody rolls on me and they have I should
be able to fight and defend myself, you know.

Speaker 18 (38:38):
And so because I don't trust any of these guys,
and when we take it to Minnesota, I didn't know
all and until you were talking about the fact that
another cop saw him and thought he was a cop. Like,
that's how extensive these guys go with your deception. And
so we all have to be on edge as it
relates to something like this. I like what they said
when Governor Walls and the other of members were putting

(39:01):
out warnings.

Speaker 6 (39:02):
Somebody comes to your door, you don't know who's.

Speaker 18 (39:04):
There, call nine to one one yourself and ask has
somebody do this?

Speaker 6 (39:08):
Bashed in my house? Like, we have the right to
be able to do those things.

Speaker 18 (39:11):
But the last part I want to say is that
we also need to be mindful of this idea. I've
heard a lot of people say we need to tone
down the rhetoric, and all both sides need to tone
it down. That's absolute bs. Republican lawmakers, I'm talking about leadership.
Republican lawmakers own the domain on exploiting and talking about

(39:32):
political violence. So you may get some people in liberal
space and social media stuff when they talk about violence
here and there, but democratic leaders do not do that.
Democratic members of the Congress and House the people who
need to tone it down are the Republicans. And it
starts from the top, and it starts with Trump. So
all those people who are saying we need to tone
it down, if you're not going to say his name,

(39:53):
if you're not going to say to Mike Johnson's names,
who said that Newsom should be taring further, other folks
that they should be arrested. Other guys saying, you know,
out Christmas cards with your kids pulling guns, and y'all
not going to call that out directly, you are not
being serious about this as well. The ladies she who
got shot, who survived, she got shot trying to protect

(40:14):
her daughter, you.

Speaker 6 (40:16):
Know, the wife who said call out the Republican and
they owned this to me.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
And and when we talk about again, these Republicans can
talk all they want to about far left rhetoric, Kelly
is real simple. It was the right that did what
they did on January sixth. It was the right that
tried to kidnap Michigan Governor Whitmer. I mean, they could,

(40:44):
they can try all this they want to, but if
there's any group that is about the business of violence,
it's these right wingers.

Speaker 6 (40:57):
I mean they actually.

Speaker 19 (41:00):
The the racist, vice white nationalist viewpoint right, which at
extremely extremely aggressive crowd boys. You talk about KKKA talking
about neo Nazis and the life. I don't call this
man being affiliated with explicitly, but it is that he

(41:22):
ascribed to those schools of thought by what he did,
and all of that was essentially a lot as far
right and right by ignoring the and all of these
activities is certainly this assassination and.

Speaker 6 (41:41):
That went through.

Speaker 8 (41:42):
So I don't ascribe to the schools thought that people
are loan wolves.

Speaker 6 (41:50):
Or anything like that.

Speaker 19 (41:52):
Everything and this person was indoctrinated everything that is out
there already racist because of any type of gobia.

Speaker 6 (42:07):
And observe that school part. And that is how we
got to.

Speaker 19 (42:12):
Publics need to take ownership any type of change because
it really didn't come.

Speaker 6 (42:18):
From the love.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
Yeah, I mean, you know, these folks are absolutely in
a cult. In fact, uh, A Semaphore reporter got hold
of an email that was sent from a staffer in
the office of Minnesota Senator Tina Smith that was sent

(42:44):
to the office of Senator Mike Lee, and this is
what was written. I knew Melissa Hortman, many people in
his office did. She was a longtime friend of Senator Smiths,
who had seen her hours before she was murdered, So
you'll forgive my candor as a through enormous grief. It's
important for your office to know how much additional pain

(43:06):
you've called on an unspeakably horrific weekend. I'm not sure
what compel you or your boss to say any of
those things, which, in addition to being unconscidable, also may
very well be untrue. But that's not the point. Why
would you use the awesome power of a United States
Senate office to compound people's grief? Is this how your

(43:28):
team measures success? Using the office of US senator to
post not just one, but a series of jokes about
an assassination? Is that a successful day of work on
team lead? Did you come into the office Monday and
feel proud of the work you did over the weekend?
Let's recap Saturday so you fully understand what Minnesota was

(43:51):
going through. Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered. Senator
Hoffin and his wife were shot numerous times that remained hospitalized.
By the grace of God and to peers, they will survive.
Senators are discovered to be on a hit list of
an armed man on the run. Senator Lee's colleagues and
the decision of the office of Senator Might Lee was
not to publicly condemn the violence or to express condolences

(44:15):
to her shattered children. It was to intimate that Melissa
and Mark somehow deserve this by making jokes. If you
have any consideration for the survivors in her family, for
the housemens in the hospital, for their families, you explored
it the murder of a lifetime public servant and her

(44:36):
husband to post some sick burns about Democrats? Did you
see this as an excellent opportunity to get likes in retweets?
Have you absolutely no conscience, no decency. I pray to
God that none of you ever go through anything like this.
I pray that Senator Lee and your office begin to
see the people you work within this building as colleagues

(44:56):
and human beings. And I pray that, if God forbid,
you ever find yourself on the receiving end of the
kind of grace and compassion, first of all, you'll find
yourself having to deal with anything similar. You find yourself
on the receiving end of the kind of grace and
compassion that Senator Might Lee could not muster. Let me

(45:22):
be perfectly clear, everybody who's watching it home and who's listening,
Senator might Lee is a callous, pompous asshole. He is
a despicable son of a bitch. I don't give a
damn how you feel about Democrats for you to say

(45:51):
these things. When two people gunned down, that woman covered
her children, shielded them from being killed. Family dog shot

(46:11):
had to be euthanized. The man wanted to kill others,
and you think it's cute to make fun. And here's
the crazy thing. His party isn't condemning him. Do you

(46:33):
think for a second that if a Democrat did such
a thing, if Republicans had been gunned down, do you
think that person's fellow Democrats would say nothing? Do you
think they would be silent? No, they would be condemning

(46:58):
that fellow Democrat. But here we sit as this cult,
this shameless, despicable cult, follow that pathetic moral degenerate that

(47:19):
sits in the Oval office. Because keep in mind, that
asshole Donald Trump made fun when Nancy Pelosi's husband was
attacked by a crazed individual with a hammer. But see,

(47:40):
that's who they are. Let's joke about it. Let's make
fun of it. Ooh, this is just exciting. Every Democrat
should take to the floor of the United States Senate

(48:07):
and condemn Center Might Lee, and in fact, they should
introduce emotion to censure and put every Republican on the
record to see if they iihly stand by and defend

(48:30):
that pathetic, decrepit son of a bitch from Utah. I
don't call folks those terms, but in this case Utah
Center Might Lee is an absolute piece of shit and

(48:56):
deserves to be called out, and so does every single
Republican there have been silent in the face of this
political assassination. This party claims to be filled with evangelicals.

(49:21):
This party claims to love Jesus. This party claims that,
oh my god, they are the moral standard. No they're not.
They're fake Christians. They're hypocrites, the Charlatans. That's who they are.

(49:47):
And they can try to spend this guy as being oh,
a Marxist, a Democrat. No, his own friends have come
out and said, oh no, he was our and supporter
of Donald Trump. There's video of him preaching his right
right wing rhetoric in African nations like the Congo. This man,

(50:12):
this man. This man shameful and guess what, this was
a federal shooting. That means he can get a death penalty.
But you know what, at the rate Trump's going, he's

(50:35):
gonna get a parton. And by the way, Trump just
love putting folks to death on a federal death row.
But let's see what happens in this case. But then again,

(50:58):
knowing Trump and the Republican Party, they'll give this man
the Presidentia Melal of Freedom and tell him son, job
well done, because that's who they are. When we come back,
we're gonna talk immigration and how this thug in the

(51:20):
Oval office wants to target Blue Democrat led cities when
it comes to immigration. Oh but did y'all hear he said,
don't raid farms, don't raid hotels, don't raid restaurants. That's
because his supporters complained that their businesses were being disrupted.

(51:42):
We'll talk to a California congresswoman next about that. Folks

Speaker 8 (52:35):
This week, on the other side of change.

Speaker 11 (52:37):
We are here talking about the unfortunate case of thirty
year olds Adriana Smith, who was diagnosed and announced as
brain dead at nine weeks pregnant and is being kept
alive by the state to carry this pregnancy outs full
term without any input from her family. It's a really
horing example of the lack of lovely autonomy we have
in a.

Speaker 1 (52:56):
Fust row world. And we're going to dream bigger.

Speaker 11 (52:58):
Join us on the other side of chain, only on
the Blackstar Network.

Speaker 4 (53:07):
Hey, what's up? The Sammy Roman is Jean Mury, the
executive producer of the New Cherry Supper talk show.

Speaker 10 (53:11):
If me Sherry Sabre and you know what you're watching
Roland Martin.

Speaker 1 (53:15):
Unfelthy, folks, Things hit the bolling point in Los Angeles.
Protests erupted all across the country as a result of
ICE agents just storming into graduations, all in the streets
using their power to arrest people. It has been an

(53:38):
awful situation. You've seen Donald Trump, of course, attacking Governor
Gavin Newsom, attacking Los Angeles Americ Karen Bass. You literally
have had Christy Nome actually say that their goal is
to rid the state of these democratic leaders. This ain't
about y'all. This is not trust me, It's not about immigration.

(54:02):
It literally is about them. One of the take over
the state National Guard, troops of rolled in marines have
hit the streets. Protesters did not back down. Congresswoman Sidney
cum Luggodow Joness right now, she's a consman from Los Angeles.
Glad to have you back on the show. You and
others have been standing up, uh, pushing back against this thug,

(54:28):
against their gestapo tactics. How they are just showing up,
not showing IDs, not showing ones, not showing their faces,
and just saying, oh, we're here, trust us. In fact,
I was looking at a video before we were in
the break was absolutely crazy to me, is how this

(54:48):
this this one, This one ICE agent was literally uh
standing there talking about talking about, Oh, well, we have
a quota, so I got to take somebody, So y'all
figure out, but I got to take somebody. That's literally

(55:10):
what we are up to right here.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
Yeah. Amen.

Speaker 13 (55:14):
So a couple of weeks ago, we were having graduations,
we were getting ready to celebrate pride, and then these
ICE agents stormed the entire city and started snatching folks
from graduations, from you laundry mats, from elementary schools, from
jobs and has created you know, a cloud of fear

(55:38):
in trauma. California has the largest population of immigrants in
the country, and we are also the fourth largest economy
in the world, so those data points go hand in hand.
We are competitive with other countries because of our immigrant community.

Speaker 3 (55:56):
And let's not get it twisted. We're not just talking
about brown folks.

Speaker 13 (55:59):
We're talking about Eastern Europeans, we're talking about folks from
the Asian diaspora, we're talking about folks from.

Speaker 3 (56:04):
The African diaspora.

Speaker 13 (56:05):
And you are correct, Stephen Miller said we have a
quota of three thousand. He does not care where they
find them. So they are kidnapping US citizens, legal immigrants,
and immigrants that are actually going into their hearings for
a court appearance to get the progress of their immigrant status. Okay,

(56:28):
this is thuggery at the highest And let me tell
you something. It is not about immigration. It is about
distracting the country from the failed policies coming out of
this administration, which include the tanking of our economy.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
What's crazy is again you're sitting here in you're listening
to all this crazy rhetoric. They don't care about court orders,
they don't care about judicial rulings. Again, they want anarchy.
That's what he wants.

Speaker 13 (57:03):
He does he you know, I said it from the beginning.
This is someone who's content creator and.

Speaker 3 (57:09):
He is the ultimate reality TV star.

Speaker 13 (57:11):
So because he is not a leader, because he doesn't
know how to govern, he wants to manufacture chaos, distraction,
and violence, and that is what he is doing with
Department of Homeland Security, having Christy know him with the
cosplay rolling up in here, I mean the tanks and
the lights. You know, that is a great distraction. But

(57:33):
we have to stand firm and talk about what's really
going on and reshift the narrative.

Speaker 3 (57:38):
There is absolutely no.

Speaker 13 (57:39):
Reason why these folks should be coming in masked, not
showing ID, not having judicial warrants. There is absolutely no
reason why three year olds, four year olds, fifteen year olds,
seventeen year olds should be getting a kidnapped and detained
and deported to where when this is their country and
we have an obligation to stand up and talk about
it because I don't care what the polls say. What

(58:01):
we know for sure is that people do not want
their neighbors deported. They don't want the woman who helps
them at the diner deported. You know, Father's Day happened
on Sunday. I took my husband out to eat. It
was eerily quiet on the streets because folks are scared
to come out. And then when I looked at the
folks running the restaurant, they were all brown folks.

Speaker 3 (58:21):
They were all immigrants.

Speaker 13 (58:23):
And it's the Michelin Star restaurant, so that I know, BEI,
that is meritorious. Okay, that is competition, that is success.
And he is so salty that Democratic states refuse to
bend the knee that he is deciding to come after us.
But like I say, don't come for us unless we
send for you. So we're gonna have to keep protesting

(58:45):
in the streets and we're gonna have to be showing
up at these courts with these lawsuits to stop his
crazy self from what he's doing.

Speaker 1 (58:51):
This is what the Thug in Chief posted on his
truth social He talked about he talked about giving me
one second, give me one second he talked about, which
is absolutely crazy to me.

Speaker 3 (59:05):
Everything he says is crazy.

Speaker 1 (59:06):
Yeah, yeah, everything he says is crazy. Everything he says
is crazy.

Speaker 13 (59:12):
But he don't need to liberate us. You don't need
to liberate no Democratic states.

Speaker 3 (59:15):
We doin just fine.

Speaker 1 (59:17):
Well, the thing that's amazing to me is that he
lays out here that a ICE leading the largest mass
deportation operation of illegal aliens in history. Then he goes,
in order to achieve this, we must expand efforts to
detain and deport illegal aliens in America's largest cities such

(59:38):
as Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, where millions upon millions
of illegal aliens reside. And these and other such cities
are the core of the Democrat power center, where they
use illegal aliens to expand their voter base, cheat in elections,
and grow the welfare state, robbing good paying jobs and
benefits from hard working American citizens. These radical left Democrats

(59:59):
are of mine, hate our country and actually want to
destroy our inner cities, and they're doing a good job
of it. Uh, there's something wrong with them that this
That is why they believe in open borders, transgender of
for everybody, and men playing and women's sports. And that
is why I want ice border patrol and our great
and patriotic law enforcement officers to focus on our crime
written blah blah, blah blah blah. His was interesting, So

(01:00:22):
let's unpack this. First. Of all, the places where you
have the most undocumented workers are Red states Texas, Florida.
You've got white farmers who said they all voted for Trump,
crying we're gonna we're gonna all lose our farms because

(01:00:42):
all of our workers have left. That's Red state contractors. Okay.
Then he says it here grow the welfare state. Welfare state. Okay,
last I checked the states that matter of fact, because
you know, a lot of people don't really understand the history.
Let's see states that received and I've done this before,

(01:01:08):
but I just want people, you.

Speaker 3 (01:01:09):
Need to tell it. You need to tell California.

Speaker 1 (01:01:14):
You going to say it. I mean, all these people
like they're complaining about California, but California is responsible for
the county of a whole bunch of red states, a
whole bunch of red states. So let's see here which
states receive the most unfederal aid. So then when they

(01:01:38):
start talking about uh federal aid and population and who
depends the most and uh per resident, all that sort
of stuff like that, Uh, Alaska the highest state, the
rate of federal funding. It's a lot of it's what
they got to they got Republicans representing them.

Speaker 14 (01:01:56):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:01:57):
And then let's see here Wyoming another red he.

Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
Then Mississippi, Alabama.

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
Tennessee, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, Arkansas. I mean, we can
just keep going. I mean, if it wasn't, if it wasn't,
if it wasn't for blue states. It's a budget. That's
why Martin Taylor Greenblake, Wei should succeed. Okay, take your
broke out my phone by Felicia.

Speaker 3 (01:02:23):
Let me tell you something.

Speaker 13 (01:02:25):
California gives more money to the federal government than we
get back, and we give more money than twenty four
states combined. So look, if they want to fuck with California,
they can. We're already having discussions about can we withhold
our money because those twenty four states, most of them read,
depend on revenue coming from the state of California.

Speaker 3 (01:02:48):
This is why he.

Speaker 13 (01:02:49):
Doesn't want to talk about the economy. You know, they
can focus on immigration, But it was all of his donors,
like you said, and not just farmers, folks in the
restaurant business and food says, folks and apparel who are
calling and saying, hey, don't go after my folks. They're
contractors that don't have any laborers anymore, folks who have
worked with them for fifteen twenty years, part of their

(01:03:11):
family in fact, and they're the ones that are getting detained.
And this isn't just happening in California. It's happening everywhere.
But these Republicans are so cowardice that they don't even
have enough respect for themselves and their country to stand
up and say this isn't working. They can figure out
a way to make that man say face if they

(01:03:33):
want to. But this is going to cripple the entire
economy of the United States.

Speaker 3 (01:03:38):
And let me tell you something else.

Speaker 13 (01:03:39):
This man has said that he is the chair of
the task force through the Olympics and for FIFA, both
of whom will be in Los Angeles. We just had
an opening ceremony yesterday here. If you want butts in
the seats, if you want concessions, if you want people
to spend some money and say, oh, Donald Trump's FIFA
was a success.

Speaker 3 (01:03:59):
You need to stop trying to kidnap folks.

Speaker 13 (01:04:02):
Why they got border patrol, customs and border patrol putting
on Facebook.

Speaker 3 (01:04:06):
We're going to be here patrolling the games. Why they have.

Speaker 13 (01:04:09):
Mexico have to call Trump and say, don't be taking
our people when they're coming up here.

Speaker 3 (01:04:13):
Because I can't decide who's legal, who isn't, who's a
rich person and who isn't.

Speaker 13 (01:04:19):
They're just going to be snapchin because they are racially profiling.
And all of this does impact the dollars in our pockets.

Speaker 1 (01:04:29):
So wallet hub dot com before I go to my
panel for questions. Wallet hub dot com put this together.
Most federally dependent states overall number one Alaska Red, red,
number two, Kentucky Red, Democrats, they have a Democratic governor.
Number three, West Virginia red, number four, Mississippi Red, number five,

(01:04:50):
South Carolina red number six, New Mexico Blue, number seven,
Louisiana Red number eight, Arizona Blue number nine, Indiana Red
number ten, Alabama red number eleven, South Dakota red, number twelve,
Wyoming red. Then you get Maine, Maryland, Vermont blue. But

(01:05:12):
then you go sixteen red, Oklahoma seventeen red, Missouri eighteen red,
Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Tennessee twenty one red, Arkansas red, twenty two, Oregon, Michigan,
North Dakota twenty five, Florida, twenty six in New Hampshire, Minnesota, Hawaii,
Ohio red. So if I just look at the top thirty,

(01:05:35):
let me just count the top thirty that's red. Let's
see one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen,
eighteen of the top thirty states that are most federary dependent.

(01:06:00):
Eighteen of the thirty are red states now, and then
when you go down. But people who don't understand money,
when you go down to the bottom, Okay, New Jersey, California, Delaware, Massachusetts,
go to Illinois, and then of course you have let's see,

(01:06:22):
Oh look where's California. California's fortnine. Okay, so New Jersey.
I mean, people understand, where does the money in America
come from? The bottom states? So look, look a look
at thirty seven through the bottom New York, okay, or
Virginia thirty five Virginia, New York, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Delaware, California,

(01:06:48):
New Jersey. That's actually those are the states funding the country.
But Trump wants to attack those states.

Speaker 6 (01:06:54):
That's right.

Speaker 13 (01:06:55):
Well, you know he's a businessman, right with all of
his stale businesses selling miracles and gold toilets.

Speaker 3 (01:07:01):
And shoes and all of that.

Speaker 13 (01:07:02):
So that's why it is so important that we are
staying focused on the money and the economy. You know,
he's spent forty five million of our dollars for that
very sad parade right where nobody showed up me while
you have five million Americans showing up at these protests
around the country over the weekend standing up for our
money and the Constitution and to say we don't want

(01:07:23):
a petty, petulant orange person in the White House who
doesn't seem to care about anybody except himself. And that's
the real issue because he don't even care about the Republicans.

Speaker 1 (01:07:34):
All questions from my panel, real quick with questions. First off,
on a congo, thank.

Speaker 6 (01:07:42):
You so much for what you're doing in your voice.

Speaker 18 (01:07:45):
I want to get your thoughts around because so many
people have talked about how Latino Black have not been
coming together. There's been well you go for this person
or you didn't care, so we don't care. And then
Friday everyone to find out what are you seeing on
the ground now. Has this situation with Trump brought more
people together or the keeping them provided.

Speaker 13 (01:08:09):
Well, we are still on the fuck around and find
out stage, but it is unifying communities.

Speaker 3 (01:08:15):
As I mentioned, I was at a restaurant the other day.

Speaker 13 (01:08:19):
It is a Latino restaurant and my heart was full
at how amazing the food was and the service was.
And also you know how traumatized these communities are having
to figure out curfews and when to go home and
how to stay safe because they don't want to be,
you know, jacked up. And what you realize is how
interconnected we all are. You go to your dry cleaner,

(01:08:40):
you go to your liquor store, you go to your
hair salon, you go to your nail shop, you go
to your bank, you go, you know, wherever you're going,
you are being touched by an immigrant of some ethnicity.
And we have to talk about that, and we have
to protect our neighbors. So these protests, I think are
reminding the country how to and we are, in fact,

(01:09:01):
we were founded on immigrants, and we have to uphold
that and push back on the white supremacy that's coming.

Speaker 3 (01:09:08):
Out of this White House.

Speaker 19 (01:09:10):
Kelly Good evening, congress woman, and I just want to say, you're.

Speaker 20 (01:09:20):
Series TikTok and so put out there.

Speaker 6 (01:09:28):
My question to you is in.

Speaker 8 (01:09:30):
Regards to you, because it's happening in l A is very.

Speaker 19 (01:09:36):
Oprising. That happened in Baltimore about I was living in Baltimore.
You know, reporters coming in obviously your job the story,
but made it so much more than what it wants.

Speaker 6 (01:09:51):
I'm not what happened. There were unrest, but it was
less than a.

Speaker 19 (01:10:00):
For my friends who were you know, of course, you
know I'm a good friend.

Speaker 1 (01:10:06):
Kelly Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly Kelly. Her time
is running short. I got to get to the question
her time's running short.

Speaker 19 (01:10:15):
I get a lot of reverbs.

Speaker 20 (01:10:18):
My question to you is congress your response to media
for their covering, because I feel like how they covering
it exacerbates the issue and doesn't really what is.

Speaker 13 (01:10:38):
Meiladina also not get distracted by the stories coming out
of the content creator in the white House. Los Angeles
is a city of five hundred and three square miles.
Protests happened within one square mile. Okay, we have four
million people in the city. Thirty thousand folks protested. I

(01:10:59):
think there were five arrests. Okay, one percent, close to
one percent of the city came out and five percent,
I mean, five arrests out of four million people. Is deminimus?
That is fairy dust. I don't even know why we're
talking about it and showing the Weimo on fire over
and over and over again. It was the same weimo,

(01:11:20):
and you know what took. I talked to the police chief.
You can't put out a fire on a tesla or
a weimo because it is such toxicity. It is such
a hazard if you do that because of those lithium batteries.

Speaker 3 (01:11:32):
So people need to remember that this is a content creator.

Speaker 13 (01:11:36):
He was manufacturing a show in Los Angeles, entertainment capital
of the world. You need to zoom out, media, you
need to zoom out and see the director's chairs and
the grips, and the craft services and the lights and
the cords, all of that laid down by Christy Nome
and DHS to bring you some kind of reality TV show.

Speaker 3 (01:11:58):
And that's what they didn't do.

Speaker 13 (01:11:59):
Unfore, fortunately, you know, the media didn't pan out. I
was driving around the city. You didn't even know protests
were happening. And the majority of the communities where everyone lives,
and so you know, the media has an obligation to
correct and tell the real story.

Speaker 16 (01:12:15):
Julian congress Woman, thank you for your leadership and for
your work. I'm reminded of a play by Douglas Turner Ward.
It was written in the late sixties called Days of Absence.
In that play, all the black people disappeared, and the
question became, what would we do? I mean, white folks
were going crazy because they couldn't even wash their own dishes,

(01:12:36):
and so they were begging black people to come back.
There's a parallel in terms of our anti immigrant status.
What will we do if immigrant people disappeared? That's why
the Orange Man decided to lift his anti immigration stuff
for farm workers, of hospitality workers and select others. What

(01:12:58):
is I know that our Democrats are the minority, and
I know that we said some fearless fighters.

Speaker 1 (01:13:05):
Of Rome Jillian and the congress woman literally has to go.
I got to get your questions.

Speaker 16 (01:13:10):
Come on, okay, So here's my question. What's mixed around immigration?
And where is the resistance?

Speaker 3 (01:13:17):
Well, I mean the resistance is in the streets.

Speaker 13 (01:13:19):
I five million people on a Saturday across the country
standing up and saying this man is a buffoon and
he's taking your economy is the beginning of a resistance. Now,
how we maintain that, we have to continue to maintain it.
It is important that we remind folks that we have
been winning in elections. You know, Wisconsin Supreme Court, a

(01:13:40):
couple of seats in Pennsylvania, O Maha, Nebraska. You know,
those were red seats with the exception of the Supreme Court,
but those were red seats that turned blue.

Speaker 3 (01:13:50):
And keeping that Wisconsin.

Speaker 13 (01:13:52):
Seat was incredibly important for us in terms of the judiciary.

Speaker 3 (01:13:55):
That is where we're winning.

Speaker 13 (01:13:57):
We're also winning in the courts over two hundred and
fifty lawsuits and we've been successful in the majority of
them and showing up because we have got to be
clear and consistent about our narrative. They have an incredible
operation going on on the Republican side with influencers and
with media. They do have the bully pulpit. But look

(01:14:19):
what happened on Saturday. Five million people to the paltry
numbers that showed up at his little parade birthday party
in the rain, and you saw more folks trying to
get out of the parade then you saw watching it.
You saw the tank squeaking because there weren't enough crowds
cheering to.

Speaker 3 (01:14:33):
Drown out the noise.

Speaker 13 (01:14:34):
So we have to keep doing that so that the
mainstream media cannot turn away. It is also important that
we talk about immigration reform. You know this might be controversial,
but under both Biden and Obama. You know, a lot
of deportations happened. They deported far more than Donald Trump.

(01:14:55):
They did it in a humane way, in a way
that was more dignified that didn't have all these you know, bananigan's.

Speaker 3 (01:15:00):
Going on that were lawful, that were you know.

Speaker 13 (01:15:04):
So now you see this man who just wants chaos
and major disruption.

Speaker 3 (01:15:09):
So we have to lean into that.

Speaker 13 (01:15:10):
You can have border security, you can have immigration reform,
and we have an obligation to remind people that there
was a bipartisan immigration reform package that Donald Trump told
the Republicans to kill because he did not want.

Speaker 3 (01:15:24):
Joe Biden to have that win.

Speaker 13 (01:15:26):
And now these Republicans in these red states like Roland
just said, who are dependent on agriculture and on laborers,
they're in trouble because if you support all those folks
that are helping them with their little raggedy economies, they
are going to crumble. It is exactly what happened when
the man came in with the Reconciliation Bill and started

(01:15:48):
slashing and burning grants to colleges and universities. Now, of course,
all colleges and universities are going to suffer because a
lot of them get contracts from the federal government. But
the ones in the states are more dependent on that
money than the blue states. Okay, so they are basically
getting bent over by this man and they don't even

(01:16:09):
have the constitution to fight for their people. The resistance
comes when you speak truth to power and when you fight.

Speaker 1 (01:16:18):
As woman. Always great to have it before. Are you
coming back? Thanks a lot, Thank you appreciate it. Going
to go to break, we come back. That joke of
a parade, Well this weekend we're going to talk about
that also, NAACP not inviting Donald Trump or JD advantage
of their convention, first time that's happened in one hundred

(01:16:39):
and sixteen years. We'll discuss all that on Roland Martin
Unfiltered on the Blackstone Network.

Speaker 16 (01:16:46):
This week.

Speaker 21 (01:16:47):
On the other side of change, state of the Democratic part,
what are the barriers preventing us from seeking true liberation
and including more voices in that process. They overlook black organizers,
young black people, the work that we do all throughout
the year. But then when the election cycle comes around, now,
all of a sudden they want to listen to us, listen.

Speaker 6 (01:17:06):
In fultation marks.

Speaker 21 (01:17:07):
Now all of a sudden they want our labor and
our contributions. And it's just like for me, I'm at
the point where it's like, no, we're not doing that.

Speaker 11 (01:17:13):
Tune in only on the other side of change on
the Black Side Network.

Speaker 15 (01:17:22):
Hey, what's up, geektoing in the place that you got
Kick Touching Mama's University creator and they could producer of
Fat Tuesday's and a hip hop comedy.

Speaker 6 (01:17:30):
But right now I'm rolling with Roland.

Speaker 15 (01:17:32):
Martin, unfiltered, uncut, unplugged, and undamned believable him.

Speaker 1 (01:17:43):
All right, Folks, NAACP, for the first time in their
one hundred and sixteen year history, are not inviting the
sitting president or the vice president their convention. They cite
Donald Trump in his shameless and despicable violation of the
United States Constitution as a reason for that. Let me

(01:18:06):
read for you the statement that they actually sent out
today regarding this decision. For one hundred and sixteen years,
the NAACP has invited the sitting President of the United
States to address the NAACP National Convention, regardless of their
political party. There's a rich history of both Republicans and
Democrats attending our convention, from Harry Truman to Dwight Deigenhower

(01:18:29):
to Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama,
and beyond. We're a nonpartisan and always welcome those who
believe in democracy and the Constitution. But right now it's
clear Donald Trump is attacking our democracy and our civil rights.
He believes more in the fascist playbook than in the
US Constitution. This playbook is radical and un American. The

(01:18:50):
President has signed unconstitutional and executive orders to oppress voters
and undoe federal civil rights protections. He has illegally turned
the military on our communities, and he continually undermines every
pillar of our democracy to make himself more powerful and
to personally benefit from the US government. The NAACP Convention
has always been a place where people across the country

(01:19:10):
come together to map out our advocacy and mobilization strategies
to advance civil rights and democracy for all. Our annual
convention is meant to be a safe space for all people,
regardless of political ideology, who believe in multi racial democracy
and the ideal of building a more perfect union. To
that end, the NAACP has made a decision to break

(01:19:31):
the tradition and not invite Donald Trump or Jed E.
Vance this year. The administration does not respect the Constitution
or the rule of law. It would be a waste
of our time and energy to give a platform to fascism,
which would be unacceptable, Juliana. I wish NABJ took the
same stance last year when they invited Donald Trump to

(01:19:52):
our convention.

Speaker 16 (01:19:55):
I agree with you fully, Roland. I think the NAA
has always I remember, you know, years ago protesting some
of the people who have been invited. But they've been very,
very nonpartisan. And basically, it's a sitting president. We respect
a sitting president. This president is a lightning rod for disrespect.

(01:20:15):
There is nothing about him or his policies that deserve respect.
Right on to Derek and the NAACP for drawing a
line there and saying, oh, hell no, because all he's
going to do is go in there and lie, I mean,
just basically lie. These people don't know the truth of it,
laid in the band with them, I mean. So it's
really important for us to draw some lines here understanding

(01:20:40):
a number of things. One of the things that I
frequently point out is that these Republicans talk about Joe
Biden's mental acuity, but we have a living example of
someone unraveling in our faces, unraveling with just pure lies.
But the other thing is he has no place in

(01:21:01):
our civil rights organizations are traditional civil rights organizations, when
he's attempting to take de I away, when he wants
to take names off of airplanes and submarines, Medgar Evers,
Harry Tubman, Ruth Bander, Gudenberg. Come on, these are our allies,
and so to do that, it's basically FuMB his nose
on our face. And if we were to invite him

(01:21:22):
under those circumstances, you know, to paraphrase Roland Martin, we
would be a bunch of g D fools.

Speaker 6 (01:21:34):
Look, I think.

Speaker 17 (01:21:41):
This is.

Speaker 6 (01:21:43):
Standing on the right side of history times.

Speaker 18 (01:21:46):
How are you going to be remembered, whether we're talking
about organizations like that, whether we're talking about journalists Mike More, Hey,
I gotta tell the truth. This is not the time
for people to just play things the book normally.

Speaker 6 (01:22:02):
Well, this is how we've done it for one hundred
and sixteen years.

Speaker 18 (01:22:04):
This is how we've done it for This is our tradition,
this is how we do as a news organization. We're
fighting a want to do dictator who does not believe
in any types of laws.

Speaker 6 (01:22:16):
And we have discovered through this whole process with.

Speaker 18 (01:22:19):
Trump that we don't really have lost in this country
has to related to certain things we have norms and
all someone has to do is coming wrong with this.

Speaker 6 (01:22:27):
People know I'm not going to go with that norm
and everything gets foreign to all.

Speaker 13 (01:22:31):
Right.

Speaker 6 (01:22:31):
This is ray.

Speaker 18 (01:22:32):
This is why it's important to fight back against at
every single level. How many people on staff today, how
many people who sponsored this campaign with you know, are
saying they're not going to support them in the next
campaign unless he recognizes the wrong and all of these
things that are happening that people are not bringing up
for to be documented and called out. We could let

(01:22:56):
people know where they stood in this moment, UACP.

Speaker 6 (01:23:01):
This is what we've done. He didn't know because they
decided that they wanted to right.

Speaker 18 (01:23:08):
And principles are born this type of tradition and I
have faud them for doing so.

Speaker 6 (01:23:14):
Organization to do.

Speaker 1 (01:23:15):
The scene, folks again, it's just absolutely crazy. Over the weekend,
Uh here in d C. Trump threw himself a birthday party.
Curtis of the federal government on the US Army is
supposed to celebrate the Triny fifty, the anniversary of the
us R. That's not what's about. It was all about
him and his people were like, oh my god, we're
gonna have a quarter of a million patriots. Now, it

(01:23:39):
wasn't even close. As a matter of fact, that an idiot,
Stephen Chung, who who was Trump's communications director, That fool
actually sent out a tweet thinking it was just stupid.
Let me fight a stupid tweet. He goes amazing despite
the threat, or let me pulled up your He goes

(01:23:59):
amazing despite the threat of rain. Over two hundred and
fifty thousand patriots showed up to celebrate the two hundred
fifty and the version of the US Army. God Bless
the USA. Y'all, This ain't two hundred fifty is out,
This ain't too matter of fact. You have more people

(01:24:22):
at the Taste of Soul in Los Angeles then you
had at this. Look y'all, come on now, come on now,
it's gonna be more people at Essence Fest. Then it
was at this little Bit and get together. This fool
had and y'all know he was falling asleep at multiple
times in the event. Yeah, look, boy, boy, look look

(01:24:45):
at him. Look at them? Why the other look at boy?
Look at all that space. Look at all that space.
I can hear some golf balls in all that space.
It's just it's a joke. That's all it was. It
was trash, and of course the No Kings protests dwarfed
this crap. Millions of people in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, uh At,

(01:25:10):
West Palm, small towns, all across the country, they were
protesting this idiot. On my congo, I just thought it
was hilarious seeing these right wingers try to try to
try to try to defend this. In fact, one of
the things that jumped out at me on my congo,

(01:25:31):
I saw this tweet and when I saw the video,
I was like, I think the troops don't give a
damn about this Trump parade. Hold on, troops marching, hold on,
let's I can find it because and this guy posted
a video and it was like, yeah, man, we ain't

(01:25:55):
even let me show y'all something, okay, And this guy's
god tweeted on the congo he said, I think these
troops were showing their resistance. No, no, no, no, I'm
gonna go back to the beginning, okay. So let me
let me set this up, y'all. When you normally see
troops left left, left, right, left, they are on time,

(01:26:23):
they have precision. So this one person opened that he
thought when seeing this video this was the troops way
of protesting, y'all. I have never seen US troops in
a so called military parade walking like they going to

(01:26:45):
the store. Check this out, y'all. They just they just walking.
They they Now, now you see one group, but look
at us here, they all on different feet. They just walk.

(01:27:10):
I ain't never seen that, y'all. O mean, Congo, these
cats were like, say, dog, look we here, you know,
we we waste our damn time here. They just walking
and chilling. You never seen that this one form a. Remember,
the military said this was their way of protesting this

(01:27:32):
damn event. And I think that's kind of it kind
of makes sense to the Congo.

Speaker 6 (01:27:40):
I believe it.

Speaker 18 (01:27:40):
I mean, I've seen some other people were actually like
not controlling this right by contrasting love with marches from
other countries, enshowing how they march in with their weapons
and so on and so forth, that makes perfect sense.

Speaker 6 (01:27:56):
I mean, the way that he's doing.

Speaker 18 (01:27:58):
The National Guard, Marines, the Army, I feel bad for
for so many of them. You know, some of them
are are magnet and they're good with this. So many
are just trying to just do their job, trying to
be out there. The circular country. They're not trained to
do work on the ground in their own country, and
so I completely understand if they decided, yeah, let's just
get through this thing because we have to, and it's

(01:28:21):
just it's just another embarrassment for really at the end
of the day. And I think they're also like, oh,
he's not doing this for the Navy.

Speaker 6 (01:28:28):
He's not doing this for the Marine. So he's actually
so in.

Speaker 18 (01:28:31):
Dissension because they also got berkeleys this year as well.
They're not going to get all this, So he's breaking
up any type of military cohesion.

Speaker 6 (01:28:38):
And I think those soldiers were definitely like, Yo, we're
gone to march through here because we got to. That's
all we're gonna give you. Trump.

Speaker 18 (01:28:45):
I completely see that. So I agree with that we
stopped full staff.

Speaker 1 (01:28:49):
I mean, somebody posted this. This was a video horse
guards parade. Uh, y'all, look at this trip left right
left right, left right, Look at this here precision? Okay,
with the marching all right, let me show y'all what
to place on sarity. And I'm telling you, y'all got

(01:29:10):
it's all of a social media everybody's commenting, they like, yeah,
you know we yeah, man, Okay, shit, we gotta be here.
They made us come, so damn, why don't we walk
to Ben's chili bowls. It's gonna get us something to eat.
I been Julia on that's all. They didn't want to

(01:29:30):
be there.

Speaker 16 (01:29:32):
No, it's amazing that they didn't just start pipwalking at
some point in there. They had them sleeping in empty
office buildings. That's real comfortable, And Julie, it was.

Speaker 1 (01:29:43):
It was so few people you couldn't hear the tanks
creaking coming down the street.

Speaker 16 (01:29:49):
Exactly exactly. Meanwhile, Roland, my sister sitting. My sister who
happens to be your biggest fan, Mariann Malbo, sent me
this thing from an organization called Melanan Events. They we
were paying people to come to show up at that event.
They were paying people five hundred dollars. They could get
it through Venmo, Venmo, Bitcoin or PayPal, and all they

(01:30:12):
had to do had to come to be there at
nine am on I think Constitution Avenue. They were given
a free lunch. All they had to do was wear red,
white and blue, and they were the seat fillers, et cetera,
and ready for Saturday because they knew that nobody was
coming organizations called meiling events. So I guess they were

(01:30:33):
looking for black people.

Speaker 1 (01:30:34):
And this is how they and this is how they responded,
move alone, we ain't doing that. We ain't doing that.
Move alone, we ain't doing that, and how they responded.
So it just it's absolutely crazy.

Speaker 16 (01:30:46):
So but not even the military, and even the military
people that we know who respect the military, who are veterans,
they quantified some of their stuff by saying, yeah, we
respect the military, but this is ridiculus. Forty five million
dollars at least at least we could have restored funding
for the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Education.

(01:31:10):
With that kind of money, we could how many jobs
can we have generated? Nobody was excited about this, but
you know, the Orange Man.

Speaker 1 (01:31:18):
Folks, you want to talk about what shame will take
this out the Veterans Administration under a new rule. It's
literally saying that doctors don't have to actually serve as
democrats or unmarried veterans. This is in order from the
twice impeached, crimly convicted felon in chief mister bones Ferust,

(01:31:38):
who's never served in the military. The policy extends, y'all,
to psychologists, dentists, and other healthcare professionals is already being
implemented as some VA medical centers down. While VA staff
may still treat veterans regardless of race, color, religion, or sex,
they are not permitted to decline care based on personal
characteristics that are not implicitly protected under federal law. The

(01:32:02):
hospitals have authority to exclude physicians and other medical personnel
based on their union activity, marital status, or political party affiliation.
The Department Veteran Affairs YALL is the nation's largest integrated
healthcare system, comprising more than one hundred and seventy hospitals,
more than one thousand clinics, employs twenty six thousand doctors,
and serves nine million patients annually. That absolutely on the

(01:32:25):
congo's trash.

Speaker 6 (01:32:28):
Wow.

Speaker 18 (01:32:29):
I mean, this is what I mean when I say
no more laws, just norms that you don't have to
really obey them. Deny Democrats care because of their political affiliation.
This goes to what I just said about Senator Wee
in terms of being on the right side of history moment.

Speaker 6 (01:32:46):
Where are the Republican veterans going to stand as it.

Speaker 18 (01:32:49):
Relates to this, are they are the people where they
served from Vietnam, and then understanding all of these places
believe their brother really the trum people.

Speaker 6 (01:33:00):
Came up with that whole taco thing. She always chickens out.
Trump does back down when he's confronted on maps, when
people stand up and stay no.

Speaker 18 (01:33:09):
And so if if other Republicans and other Republicans who
Cleveland support and love the military, they didn't get out
and say something about this, these types of things are
going to continue. And so this is just another way
that I'm not even going to say that this is
a distraction, because this is real to deny veterans to

(01:33:30):
hear that they need psychologically, emotionally.

Speaker 6 (01:33:34):
That's a depth trap for me in their families.

Speaker 18 (01:33:38):
And so in order to do that right now again,
this is the time where everybody needs to stand up
exactly where they are, any Republican soldiers or Republican federants
or Republican congress people and senators, meaning that they care
about the military and up on this their property is real.

Speaker 6 (01:33:57):
And this is when we just continue to march. They
all got to go, Julian.

Speaker 1 (01:34:02):
There's no way in hell if Joe Biden did, the
Republicans will be silent.

Speaker 16 (01:34:08):
Now again, this is absurd. Look, this person never served
a day in the military. Not a person in his
family from those no good grifting sons of his to
the daughters, has served a day in the military. And
yet what they come up with is something punitive toward veterans.

(01:34:30):
Punitive in terms of saying, well, any individual worker. They're
not saying we won't treat you, but any individual physician,
as an example, can say to an unmarried woman, an
unmarried female.

Speaker 3 (01:34:42):
Veteran, let's be clear that I don't want.

Speaker 16 (01:34:45):
To treat you.

Speaker 1 (01:34:46):
They can.

Speaker 16 (01:34:46):
Obviously, there's some implications here around choice, and issues are
around reproductive health. So if someone needs something around those issues,
the doctor may feel free to say, oh no, I
don't feel like doing that, and don't drive up into
the parking lot with a Biden sticker on your car,
because you very well may then be denied healthcare. This

(01:35:09):
is absurd, but it is consistent and on Congo is
absolutely right. Here's the deal. When will Republicans who have
good sense and I realize that's a shrinking population, but
when republicans, when will Republicans with good sense who know
better stand up and say, oh, hell no? And the
fact is that they drank the kool aid, every little

(01:35:29):
bit of it, and then they put their tongue back
into the glass to get the grains out. They are
afraid to go against this man, but if they go
against him on issues like this, they're basically let against
know what kind of.

Speaker 3 (01:35:43):
Patriots they are.

Speaker 16 (01:35:44):
What we right now know is that they basically are
they Like I said, they drank the kool aid. He's
Jim Jones and they're.

Speaker 3 (01:35:52):
Bound to die.

Speaker 1 (01:35:54):
Yeah. Absolutely, all right, folks, Let's talk about something they
wanted to do regarding MegaR Evers. Of course, last week
was the anniversary of the assassination of MegaR Evers, gunned
down in his driveway. Well, this idiot, Pete heg Seth
one of the most grossly unqualified Secretary of Defense in
America's history. I say he's number one. He wants to

(01:36:15):
actually remove Metgar Ever's name and those of others from battleships. Yes,
the latest this the us NS MegaR Evers named for
the World War Two veteran and former NAACP Field secretary
in Mississippi. He is one of their eight navy vessels

(01:36:36):
named after activists Caesar Chavez, Harvey Milt Ruth Bader Ginsburg,
of course Supreme Court justice, and also, of course major
lawyer before that, Harriet Tubman. With it now all under reviewed,
Defiled Secretary Pete heck Saith is pushing to rename the ship,
part of a broader move to race what he called
wokeness from the military. Heck Saith said he wants to

(01:36:57):
restore the military's warrior e Those Evers family says it's personal.
They call the plan malicious, indspicable, and of course South
Carolina Congress from Jim Clyburn blasted it, saying it isn't
about politics, it's about preserving the white supremacy.

Speaker 17 (01:37:23):
I want to ask my colleagues, what does army readiness
have to do with the erasing Mecca Evers's war record
from our website? Mega Evers fought for this country, came

(01:37:46):
home to Mississippi, and was shot dead by an assassin,
and we are now erasing his contribution for my website.
Mister Chairman, I had some mother ship that I can't
do in your down in the southeet talk a little
slower and therefore I can't get these other examples. But

(01:38:09):
I want us to think about these contributions, think about
Jackie Robinson, who fought for this country and what he
had to end just to play baseball, and we are
erasing him and his record from the website. I want
a year back, but I please, let's think about this

(01:38:31):
as we bought today.

Speaker 1 (01:38:33):
Julian real quick your comment.

Speaker 16 (01:38:36):
This is consistent with the anti DEI focus of this administration.
It's consistent with their need to uh erase as comms
with Clyburn said, erase black people. It is beyond despicable
to take MegaR Evers's name off the navy vessel. He
was a veteran. But again, this is this is a
triple standard, and I hope that the Congress does not

(01:38:58):
allow this to happen. But again, they've all drank the
kool aid and it probably will, and we all have
to push back. If indeed this does happen, it needs
to be replaced in the next administration, and there need
to be some rules about some of this stuff. This
is discussing what was consistent with them the Fort Bragg situation,
with the President saying he wants to start name a

(01:39:20):
Ford after Robert E.

Speaker 1 (01:39:22):
Lee.

Speaker 16 (01:39:23):
Excuse me, you know, it's hard to believe that they
are serious about this.

Speaker 1 (01:39:28):
Stuff.

Speaker 16 (01:39:29):
But we know they are because the plan is Reproject
twenty twenty five.

Speaker 3 (01:39:33):
They want to erase us.

Speaker 22 (01:39:35):
Ohmgona, this is a racist, that's homophobic, Department of Defense
and some other qualifiers as well, and this is who
they are, no bride, but they also.

Speaker 6 (01:39:49):
Want to give it up.

Speaker 18 (01:39:51):
One of the ships that's named after Harvey Milk wasn't
to gain politicians in California.

Speaker 6 (01:39:57):
This is where they are, and so now they want
to turn them meet again.

Speaker 18 (01:40:00):
A veteran, a veteran, and so who's going to be
up And on top of going honestly, get rid of
the black names, give it the LGBT paces, get it
to the women, and bring back the names of Confederate general.

Speaker 6 (01:40:13):
On the basis on the ship and the lists. And
there is no confusion about what they're doing.

Speaker 18 (01:40:23):
How many people are going to and uh are people
in the military, I know and so forth. But again,
how long can you stay in the military if you
represent one of these yourself being erased?

Speaker 6 (01:40:35):
Everything, Well, what's gonna happen to you? What happened to brow?

Speaker 1 (01:40:39):
Are you for?

Speaker 6 (01:40:40):
The desire for this country? Excess talks about letality and
we need to have all of this. The moral oppression
of these soldiers to be drawing on them. And I
think that's all readiness as well as.

Speaker 1 (01:40:55):
Folks, if y'all want to get a kick. So the
idiot in chief is at the G seven in the summit,
and while there he actually started wanting complaining that we
all know that he's in the pocket of Putin. We
all know that. Okay, it ain't even close. So listen
to this fool complain about Russia being kicked out of

(01:41:18):
the G seven used to be the G eight. Listen,
listen to this fool.

Speaker 3 (01:41:23):
Together very well.

Speaker 6 (01:41:24):
I look forward to that the G seven used to
be the G eight.

Speaker 23 (01:41:28):
Barack Obama and a person named Trudeau didn't want to
have Russia in. Then I would say that there was
a mistake, because I think you wouldn't have a war
right now if you had Russia in, and you wouldn't
have a war right now if Trump were president four
years ago.

Speaker 6 (01:41:43):
But it didn't work out that way.

Speaker 1 (01:41:45):
But it used to be the G eight, and now
it's I guess what's that nine years ago? Eight years
ago it switched over there.

Speaker 23 (01:41:52):
They threw Russia out, which I claimed was a very
big mistake, even though I wasn't in politics then I
was very loud about it. It was a mistake that
you spend so much time talking about Russia. He's no
longer at the table, so it makes life more complicated,
but you wouldn't have had the work.

Speaker 6 (01:42:09):
And other than that, I think we're going to accomplish
a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:42:13):
He's an idiot, y'all. The reason he's an idiot. Russia
was kicked out of the G eight because they invaded
Crimea and they were told, you take this action, We're
kicking your ass out. But this dumb ass, I mean,
I've never seen anybody on the Congo. I mean, what

(01:42:34):
Putin has on him has got to be amazing. This
man kisses more putin ass than Putin's girlfriends.

Speaker 6 (01:42:47):
I don't know what this man has on Trump. One
day it's going to come out. I think it was.

Speaker 18 (01:42:52):
Malcolm Manson said that Russians have had files on Trumps
like nineteen seventy seven because his first wife then Soviet
Union and so like, they've been tracking him for a
very long time and the way that it's just disgraceful
that the way that he defers to them at every
single junction, and Putan doesn't care about anything he has

(01:43:13):
to say about HU training.

Speaker 6 (01:43:16):
The President of the.

Speaker 18 (01:43:17):
United States yoke to this man, to Vladimir and for
him to go there not even be able to it's
his blazer.

Speaker 6 (01:43:27):
Bring out Russia. Russia. It'sful. I don't know if.

Speaker 18 (01:43:33):
I guarantee who is going to release it, because that's
just going to help me in the United States.

Speaker 6 (01:43:39):
But the fact that man.

Speaker 18 (01:43:40):
Continues to bring up Russia like this, it is it's disgraceful.
But yeah, man, he's got.

Speaker 1 (01:43:51):
And he tried to use this stage to also attack Democrats,
and the Canadian Prime Minister Corning was like, they're not
when and doing that.

Speaker 23 (01:44:05):
And they think they're gonna all Democrat run cities and
they think they're gonna use them to vote.

Speaker 1 (01:44:10):
It's not gonna happen.

Speaker 3 (01:44:16):
I'm not sure. Thank you, you know mind H.

Speaker 6 (01:44:19):
Just I mean to exercise my role, if you will.

Speaker 5 (01:44:22):
Is a g seven charit since h we have a
few more minutes with the President and his team, uh,
and then we actually have to start the meeting.

Speaker 6 (01:44:28):
To address some of these big issues.

Speaker 1 (01:44:29):
So thank you, Messy, thank you, thank you media, thank you.

Speaker 13 (01:44:36):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (01:44:37):
That's it, Thank you very much. Good guys.

Speaker 6 (01:44:43):
Thank you, kitty, kitty, just.

Speaker 1 (01:44:47):
I mean, that's exactly what you have to do, because
that dumb ass would just would have kept talking and
talking and talking and talking and talking and talking and
talking like he always does. Uh and so in the
and is crazy. And then the other thing is he
actually think he runs the G seven He thinks he

(01:45:10):
runs the G said he doesn't. We truly have an
idiot representing the United States.

Speaker 16 (01:45:24):
Well, you know, Roland. Once we were referred to as
the first, the most powerful nation on the globe, once,
maybe a year ago and maybe since World War Two.
But what we are witnessing before our very eyes is
the denuvement of the power of the United States, the
end of our eminence. We're looking at a weaker dollar,

(01:45:45):
with alternative currencies being explored. We're looking at waning influence
with the Then y'aoho doesn't care what he says. Putin
doesn't care what he says. I mean, if I read,
if I want to read perography, I guess I want
to look at the file. But since I don't do pornography,
we're gonna pass on the file and just say, you know,

(01:46:07):
with the fifty years or one hundred, it'll probably all
come out. But meanwhile, beyond an idiot, we have a
venal grifter whose purpose is not to support and defend
the United the Constitution, nor the people of the United States.
His sole purpose is to make a lot of money
for the Trump paid family, to institute a racist agenda,

(01:46:31):
and to show contempt for institutions that it took you know,
decades centuries to put together. So know, our institutions are
not always perfect. But this fool has taken a vessel
and just thrown it on the ground like a pensulant child,
watching it shatter into thousands of chards, just so he

(01:46:53):
can walk around and feel larger in charge. And it's
only feel and that's only actually without being and gross
when they change his diaper on tap.

Speaker 1 (01:47:02):
So that's all I mean.

Speaker 16 (01:47:05):
We're literally watching our country implode?

Speaker 1 (01:47:08):
Are we are? We are all right? Let me thank Julian,
let me think on me Congo, let me thank Kelation
