she said, I never thought I'd see a woman president.

Speaker 11 (11:38):
She said, I got to vote.

Speaker 16 (11:41):
That's why I'm wearing my shirt.

Speaker 21 (11:43):
Let everybody know I am voting for.

Speaker 11 (11:45):
Her all right, then we got her back, all right,
I take care, Thank you.

Speaker 13 (11:53):
All right, folks again, that was some of the folks
who were here in Dallas County. Joining me right now though,
is Arent County Commissioner Elisa Simmons. She traveled over here
the chat with us. Step right on in here a commissioner,
come on, step in right here. There you go, all
right then, so glad to see you.

Speaker 11 (12:11):
What's the latest? How do f youse go today?

Speaker 2 (12:13):
In Terror County, Terran County?

Speaker 28 (12:14):
So far, so good.

Speaker 29 (12:16):
We have lines out the door at most polling locations,
so it is busy. As of right this moment, we
have exceeded the first day election day numbers in Terran County.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Really, yes, so I think.

Speaker 29 (12:33):
The first day in twenty twenty was fifty thousand.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
We're at fifty eight thousand.

Speaker 11 (12:38):
What about the black parks Terran County.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Well, I have not. I've got to get the breakdown
for all of those, so I do not have those
right at this moment.

Speaker 13 (12:48):
Now, you've also got some big races there. One of
the things that we've been focused on, obviously, sharees races. Yes,
y'all have had some serious problems with your jail there, Yes,
folks dying in the jail.

Speaker 11 (12:59):
So that's one you're paying attention the law of attention to.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yes, I need a new sheriff.

Speaker 29 (13:05):
Our sheriff is deadly and if people are we have
a maga sheriff and he is deadly.

Speaker 28 (13:13):
He does not know.

Speaker 29 (13:14):
He has two things to do constitutionally, that is run
the jail and patrol the unincorporated areas and he's not
doing either of those.

Speaker 11 (13:24):
Well, what als are? What alse are you looking at
this this year?

Speaker 2 (13:29):
I am looking.

Speaker 29 (13:31):
I am selfish, so I'm looking at the county level.
There is a woman in south Lake Colleybelle Northeast Herron County.
It's going to be a hard road to hoe, but
if we could get Laura Lehman elected, then that would
change the trajectory of this county. But we've got state races,

(13:53):
state representative races that are razor have razor thin margins.

Speaker 30 (13:58):
And if people just turn.

Speaker 29 (13:59):
Out to vote right, we could win those races. We
don't have to ask anybody for anything anymore.

Speaker 13 (14:06):
And then, of course what that does is if you
have those state representative races, then what you're also doing
is you're changing the dynamics of the Texas legislature.

Speaker 29 (14:15):
Absolutely, and so I can contact my state reps and say, hey,
this is what we need at the county level instead
of getting pushedback, pushback, pushback, maga politics injected at the
county level, and of.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Course the state level.

Speaker 11 (14:32):
Are you seeing.

Speaker 13 (14:34):
Groups on the ground, turning folks out, doing lots of
door knocking, lots of canvency.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yes.

Speaker 29 (14:39):
I am so proud of the Terran County young Democrats.
They have gotten out there and they're young people and
they're doing the work.

Speaker 28 (14:46):
They're on the phones, they're on the doors, and.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
So that's what we need to see.

Speaker 29 (14:51):
I was at the University of Texas at Arlington this
morning because, as you'll recall, it was my county the
Republicans initially on my County Commissioners Court that wanted to
eliminate polling places on the college campus, and so we
were able to defeat that, and so I wanted to

(15:14):
go out to ut Arlington this morning, and yes, there
were lines out the door. We need polling places on
college campuses. Absolutely can't take them away, especially in the
districts like mine, Precinct two and Precinct one, royth Brooks.
We have the largest number of minorities in our precincts.

Speaker 11 (15:33):
That's also why they're taking away.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
I wanted to take.

Speaker 29 (15:36):
Away TCUs, but then they looked and then they thought, no,
we'll keep the one at TCU.

Speaker 11 (15:42):
Yeah, lots of Whitstons at TCU. Yes, there you go.

Speaker 29 (15:45):
But we ended up with all of our campus uh
polling places this year. I'll have the same fight next year.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
So, but people need to.

Speaker 29 (15:54):
Get out and vote. Vote local, vote all the way
down the ballot. You can call a lease that you
cannot call Kamala or Donald when you need something, but
you can call your local people.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
And so folks need to vote all the way down the.

Speaker 13 (16:09):
County Commission, your state rep, your state Senate constably, just
the piece. Yes, all right, well I certainly appreciate it.
Keep up the good fight there and we'll track to
see how this happens for.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Early vote against we need a new sheriff and Terry County.

Speaker 11 (16:23):
I agree, all right, I reach in it.

Speaker 13 (16:24):
Thanks about it, all right, folks, Again, we're here in
Dallas County.

Speaker 11 (16:29):
UH, so we're gonna go to break. We come back.
I gonna talk to State.

Speaker 13 (16:32):
Center Royce West Pastor Frederick Douglas Hayes, third Senior pastor.

Speaker 11 (16:35):
Here a friendship West Baptist Church.

Speaker 13 (16:37):
We're here from congress Woman Jasmin's Crockett and it's lots
to talk about.

Speaker 11 (16:41):
On our show.

Speaker 13 (16:42):
We get our parallel as well, so you know how
we do it. It's a lot going on. We'll be
right back from Nils on the latch of the network
back in the month.

Speaker 11 (16:48):
Is that y'all blowing the damn?

Speaker 31 (16:52):
IF is a miracle for us because it allowed us
to have our family after having my daughter, I want
it more children, but my embryo transfer was canceled eight
days before the procedure. Donald Trump overturning Roeve Wade stopped
us from growing in the family that we wanted. I
don't want politicians telling me how or when I can

(17:13):
have a baby. We need a president that will protect
our rights and that's Kamala Harris.

Speaker 32 (17:19):
I'm Kamala Harris and.

Speaker 18 (17:20):
I both voted for Donald Trump.

Speaker 12 (17:22):
I voted for him twice. I won't vote for him again.
January sixth was a wake up call for me.

Speaker 33 (17:27):
Donald Trump divides people. We've already seen what he has
to bring.

Speaker 34 (17:31):
He didn't do anything to help us. Kamala Harris she
cares about the American people.

Speaker 12 (17:36):
I think she's got the wherewithal to make a difference.
I've never voted for a Democrat.

Speaker 18 (17:40):
Yes, yes, both lifelong Republicans.

Speaker 12 (17:42):
The choice is very simple.

Speaker 18 (17:43):
I'm voting for Kamala.

Speaker 12 (17:45):
I am voting for Kamala Harris.

Speaker 17 (17:49):
Trump is not fit to be president again. Here's his
vice president.

Speaker 35 (17:53):
Anyone who puts himself over the constitution should never be
president of the United States.

Speaker 28 (17:57):
It should come as no surprise that I will not
be endored Donald Trump.

Speaker 17 (18:00):
This year his Defense secretary.

Speaker 11 (18:03):
Do you think Trump can be trusted with the nation's
secrets ever?

Speaker 17 (18:05):
Again?

Speaker 10 (18:06):
No?

Speaker 35 (18:06):
I mean it's just irresponsible action that places our service
members at risk, places our nation's security at risk.

Speaker 17 (18:12):
His national security advisor.

Speaker 28 (18:14):
Donald Trump will cause a lot of damage.

Speaker 10 (18:16):
The only thing he cares about is Donald Trump.

Speaker 17 (18:19):
And the nation's highest ranking military officer.

Speaker 36 (18:22):
We don't take an oath to a king or queen,
or a tyrant or dictator.

Speaker 11 (18:28):
We don't take an oath to a wanna be dictator.

Speaker 37 (18:30):
Take it from the people who knew him best. Donald
Trump is a danger to our troops and our democracy.
We can't let him lead our country again.

Speaker 32 (18:39):
I'm Kamala Harris and I approved this message.

Speaker 11 (18:42):
Carl Hey, pretending to.

Speaker 16 (18:43):
Be Rowland Martin.

Speaker 11 (18:44):
You ain't got to work black and gold every damn place.

Speaker 12 (18:47):
Okay, ooh, I'm an out Yay.

Speaker 9 (18:49):
All right, you're fifty eight years old.

Speaker 18 (18:50):
It's over and you are.

Speaker 14 (18:51):
Now watching Roland Martin unfiltered, uncut, unplugged, and undamn believable.

Speaker 11 (19:09):
All right, folks, welcome back to old mark dun filter.

Speaker 13 (19:11):
We hear at Friendship West Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas,
ninety minutes left before the post closed for the day.

Speaker 11 (19:19):
Joining us right now is Pastor FRIDERD. Dollis Haynes, a
third senior pastor here. It's been a busy all day.

Speaker 36 (19:26):
It's been awesome, and of course it kicked off yesterday.
I need y'all to know about my friend brother Roland Martin,
that he has a job, a good job, he owns
the whole business, but he also wants to pastor a church.

Speaker 11 (19:39):
He preached here at Friendship West yesterday.

Speaker 36 (19:41):
He preached at Friendship West yesterday and people were texting me.
I'm at Howard University trying to handle business, and Roland
Martin preaches in such a way that people are saying,
give him his license and ordination and installation right now.

Speaker 9 (19:59):
So I just need y'all.

Speaker 36 (20:00):
No Roland is trying to get another job. Tell him
we need him doing this. But very seriously, man, pole
me tell y'all.

Speaker 20 (20:08):
Was really happy.

Speaker 13 (20:09):
I called Fred to say, hey, let's do a GOTV
event in Dallas and then he was like, oh that's great.

Speaker 11 (20:15):
You could do ten o'clock service. And he's just talking
and I was like, what did you say?

Speaker 2 (20:20):
So he just slid that in.

Speaker 13 (20:22):
You know, I don't be a rank its and that
works perfectly. You could come in do ten o'clock.

Speaker 11 (20:27):
This thing be good.

Speaker 38 (20:29):
I know, he just do that.

Speaker 11 (20:30):
I'm like, yeahll go ahead and handley. So you know
that's what happened, and it worked.

Speaker 36 (20:33):
It woun't worked because beautiful thing is he preached a
powerful message thank you from Deborah to Kamala, and then
the people spake and the peeps came out and today
we are setting records in terms of voter turnout. It's
been over one thousand right here at Friendship Wes today,
my boy Marcus King at DC three Church again over

(20:54):
one thousand there.

Speaker 11 (20:55):
So the people are turning.

Speaker 36 (20:57):
Out and I can't tell you how many were basically
in inspired by what you shared yesterday.

Speaker 11 (21:02):
And so I think that's very important that we got.

Speaker 9 (21:05):
A running start.

Speaker 36 (21:06):
And we've had a number of our local elected officials
Divine nine organizing to make sure that we banked the
vote and get it out early. And so that's why
today has been so hot, because the message is bank
the vote, go ahead.

Speaker 11 (21:23):
And get it in. Today it's been hot. It's also
been a little slow.

Speaker 13 (21:27):
Tought up with Dallas kind of commission John Wiley Price
over the MLK Center in Dallas.

Speaker 11 (21:32):
He told me that so this new computer system they.

Speaker 13 (21:35):
Upgraded to the Goal package, he said, but the problem
is the new computers are slow than the old computers.
So that's a vendor problem. And it wasn't just in
the black areas of Dallas County. It was all over
Dallas County and that was a problem today. So they're
also trying to get that fixed. And so that's also
one of the reasons why last take it so long.
I actually stood in line to vote here and.

Speaker 11 (21:56):
It was an hour. Yeah when and they got twenty
five machines in there should.

Speaker 13 (22:00):
Have been a lot faster, but unfortunately that's that's the
issue that's happening with with with the vendor. One of
the things that you've really been focusing on that you
put a video together and they said to me earlier
where you had a message specifically for black men.

Speaker 11 (22:16):
And you had some critical comments.

Speaker 13 (22:17):
We ain't evenna mention them Food's name, but you had
these two ignorant former NFL players supporting Trump, just insulting
Vice president of Kamala Harris. You got Lord Jamard, this rapper,
he made some comments and he got a lot of pushback,
then he apologizes after doubling.

Speaker 11 (22:34):
Down on it.

Speaker 28 (22:35):
Uh.

Speaker 11 (22:36):
And that's what's to me, what's insulting.

Speaker 13 (22:39):
And you got black men, and as you said, y'all
got black mamas, black sisters, bats, and black nieces. But
you're gonna say this about a sister and support of
a No. Eight without a doubt, a white nationalist, white
supremacist in Donald Trump exactly.

Speaker 36 (22:53):
And again, they have black mamas who they need to apologize.
They have black teachers who helped them to get wherever
it is they are. And I'm concerned that CTE has
taken such an effect on them, infecting their minds, that
they would say something insulting that I would never say
about a woman period, but especially a black woman. But

(23:16):
I don't want to give attention to them, as you said,
because you got too many brothers out.

Speaker 11 (23:20):
Here who are doing the thing. You have too many.

Speaker 36 (23:24):
Come on, young brothers too, young brothers representing our divine
nine fraternities, and young brothers who are basically saying, there's
a narrative out there where we are being blamed for
something that ain't true. Number one, because we're still going
to be the number two demographic at least when it
comes to supporting the Democratic ticket and the sister at

(23:48):
the top of the Democratic ticket, so.

Speaker 9 (23:49):
We're going to be number two.

Speaker 11 (23:51):
And so the question is, excuse me, why.

Speaker 36 (23:54):
Are we going in on black men but not white men,
not white women. Black men are going to show up
and good numbers. They're already doing it. And again I
was at Howard yesterday. Young brothers at Howard told me
on top of young brothers, I don't know why they're
talking down to us like that, And thank you for
what you said about one former president who was talking

(24:17):
down with the wrong tone and the wrong message. Young
brothers at Howard are saying, don't talk down to us,
just engage us. We have an agenda too. At Howard,
they're saying, we have an agenda. We just want to
have our agenda addressed. And what has Kamala Harris been doing.
She's been addressing an agenda for black men.

Speaker 11 (24:38):
So we gotta show what I was on ABC.

Speaker 13 (24:41):
I did actually do ABC at INSBC for the churchy
ell today after preaching.

Speaker 11 (24:46):
And they would ask me about it, and I said,
first of all, of y'all, she knew to this. Come on,
I had to remind.

Speaker 13 (24:53):
Them of their vice president, Harris sat with a week.
There was a dinner in November two thousand twenty three.
I said, she'd opportunity to Jenny. She were all around
the country. I said, y'alls weren't covering you. That's right,
I said, So don't act like she's just talking about
a black agenda and issues malated to black men. I said,
she's been doing that really the whole about the whole presidency,

(25:14):
I said, but definitely over the past ten months.

Speaker 11 (25:17):
I said, y'all simply have been covering it. Thank you.

Speaker 36 (25:20):
And see that is why what you do is so important,
because you've been covering this. The so called dominant media
they choose what they want to cover. So they want
to cover black men disparaging her. They want to cover
black men not voting for her. They don't want to
cover the fact that this is something she ain't new

(25:42):
to it.

Speaker 13 (25:42):
She sank, she was in Detroit, she was in Charlotte,
I was there, and I was there in Atlanta, I
was there in.

Speaker 11 (25:49):
Detroit, and so and so she's been there. We covered
those e rites. So to act like it didn't happen
to me, it's just nuts.

Speaker 36 (25:55):
It's nuts, And it's again a reflection of the fact
the mainstream media chooses what they want to cover and
what they don't want to cover, and for them, it
makes news to say black men ain't supporting a black woman.

Speaker 11 (26:09):
You also got a huge race here in Texas.

Speaker 13 (26:12):
You had senate race Senator to Cruise courrensmen call them already.
That's also a major issue. Then, of course you got
the congressional races. The really you know, the thing that
I keep saying, First of all, we're in a state
that has the largest number of eligible black voters in
all of America, in the country, And what I keep
saying on this show and everywhere I go, if black

(26:33):
people voted.

Speaker 11 (26:34):
Our numbers.

Speaker 13 (26:35):
Oh man, if we hit at least seventy percent of
our turn of our elder voters, we sweep elections.

Speaker 8 (26:41):
It's over.

Speaker 11 (26:42):
It's all we just got.

Speaker 13 (26:44):
If we hit seventy If you hit seventy percent in
Fort Worth, and then in Dallas, and then in Houston
and all across the country, all of a sudden, you're
talking about thousands upon thousands of votes. You change races,
you change the makeup of the legislature. Republicans would not
have a super majority. You change the making of the House.

(27:04):
You have a hockey Jefferson speak of the House. You
would have more black folks up the state wide as
United State sitatens.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
Now it changes the game.

Speaker 36 (27:14):
You're going to be interviewing in Omega later on Royce West,
He's been telling us this around the state of Texas.
We have more eligible black voters than any state in
the country.

Speaker 11 (27:25):
That changes the game.

Speaker 36 (27:27):
Imagine if Texas goes blue, Texas, Royce West says, is
not used to be blue. Thank you and Richard Lloyd
Rice Benson. Yeah, if Texas goes blue, it changes the
electoral college makeup. All we have to do is organize
and mobilize and energize the black voting base here in Texas,

(27:50):
and all of a sudden, they ain't talking about Georgia.
They're talking about Texas. And so what we have to
do is energize a base and let them know Texas
is not a red state.

Speaker 11 (28:01):
It's a voter suppressed state.

Speaker 9 (28:03):
And that's a big difference.

Speaker 13 (28:05):
Well, of course, when you had Ben ol Rourke who
ran against a Greg Avid twenty twenty twice, seventy five
percent of all voters thirty under did not vote.

Speaker 11 (28:17):
That's christ Again. They vote election change, Yeah, they vote.

Speaker 36 (28:20):
But again, when you're changing the rules midway, when you
have the twenty twenty one session in Texas, that basically
targets we're gonna make sure Harris County can't do what
they've been doing. We're gonna make sure that Harris County
can no longer vote long after the hours when people
are still in line.

Speaker 13 (28:41):
Twenty four our vote dot And in fact I was
talking to earlier, they literally changed the voting hours.

Speaker 11 (28:46):
Yeah, for Dallas and Harris County and not the other
twohldred and fifty counties.

Speaker 36 (28:50):
Thank you, Because again, it's not a red state, it's
a suppressed voting state. And so what we have to
do then, if they're gonna play that game, we gotta
play chess ourselves and organize mobilized and do what we
again tried to do with you yesterday happening you here
getting us out. And if we spread this around the state,
it's a rap.

Speaker 11 (29:10):
I'm gonna do this here.

Speaker 13 (29:11):
So you're gonna switch microphones with this late Omega Uh
State Cenator of Royce glast y'all go ahead and switch microphones.

Speaker 11 (29:18):
Uh, we're gonna bring him on. So will y'all heard.

Speaker 13 (29:20):
Being interviewing the commissioner Commissioner of Karen County.

Speaker 31 (29:23):
Uh.

Speaker 13 (29:24):
Of course the loud or honking horn that was that
was Royce and well everybody know he was here.

Speaker 31 (29:29):
Uh.

Speaker 11 (29:29):
So it's like, okay, we know you here. Come on, uh,
come on, come on, my.

Speaker 9 (29:32):
Brothers, come on, and my brothers you go.

Speaker 11 (29:36):
You need to help me to put his own men
you are you are on your other pocket. Well, first
of all, don't don't be had healthy mad. This this
is sexy. Great, they'll be mad. I know I know
you know you can't. You can't grow that in. You
can't grow that in.

Speaker 12 (29:50):
No, I don't need to.

Speaker 11 (29:51):
You can't grow then already.

Speaker 13 (29:52):
Sex Yeah, whatever, what y'all State Senator Uh, State centered
Royce West Uh. His son is dropping. So we got
our shadow. We're geting to take care of the second
the first of early voting. Talk about again what you've
been seeing so far Dallas County.

Speaker 9 (30:07):
Well, i'll tell you what.

Speaker 39 (30:08):
I'm real pleased with what I see in Dallascown and
frankly around the state of Texas. People are turning out
on the first day. But the reality is is that
it's not uncommon for us to turn out on the
first day. The reality is is that around this country,
we've got to continuously turn out each and every day
of early voting in order to maximize the number of
people that were voting. You said a few minutes ago

(30:29):
that we've got to have at least seven out of
ten people voting.

Speaker 9 (30:32):
Yeah, that's exactly.

Speaker 12 (30:33):
Where we need to be.

Speaker 40 (30:34):
Right.

Speaker 13 (30:34):
It turned in again if you look at the history
when Harold Washington became here of Chicago, eighty five percent
all eligible black people voting. Andrew Young said he lifted
the Congress seventy two to seventy three percent of all
eligible black voters in Atlanta voting again, you hit those numbers.

Speaker 11 (30:55):
It changes the map.

Speaker 39 (30:56):
That's exactly right now. I mean the reality is and
if we do it consistently, then people will get the
confidence that we can in fact win. And just like
you said, along with that other alpha, what's that other?

Speaker 12 (31:07):
Helps the name up?

Speaker 11 (31:07):
Which one?

Speaker 20 (31:10):
Which one?

Speaker 17 (31:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (31:11):
Which one?

Speaker 17 (31:11):
That's right?

Speaker 11 (31:11):
Which one? Is a lot of them? So you dick
from what you got, Doctor King third of Mars Show.

Speaker 9 (31:16):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, okay, you are yeah, I.

Speaker 23 (31:19):
Want all of it.

Speaker 11 (31:19):
Okay, I'm just all good, all good men. That's if
you're right, Absolutely, you're right.

Speaker 39 (31:27):
But I mean here, the reality is this, We've got
to have a sustained effort. And once we get that
susamee effort and people see it, yep, then it's going
to be a commonplace for people to vote. But we're
not there yet for some reason, in twenty twenty four whatever.

Speaker 13 (31:40):
That's that's why what I keep saying to to folks
about ground game. Our money has to be in the
ground game.

Speaker 26 (31:48):
Uh.

Speaker 13 (31:48):
And I get again, I'm not saying don't get to
give the campaigns, but the rally is we got to
have groups that are going door to door pre set
by precint for canvassing our neighborhoods.

Speaker 11 (31:59):
Every thing cannot be one with television commercials.

Speaker 39 (32:02):
Well, I agree with you one hundred percent, but you
know again, in order the state's largest state of Texas,
still have to be on television, but you still have
to have a ground game in the areas in order
to make sure we turn out the vote.

Speaker 13 (32:12):
Well, of course this county two and fifty four county,
state two and fifty four counties, I think dms have
parties county Democratic Party and only about eighty one or
eighty some odd and so that's also part of the issue. So,
which is also what I keep saying, Naturally, what happened
in Georgia has to happen in Texas in Louisiana to

(32:32):
maximize the numbers.

Speaker 39 (32:33):
Well, here's deal, We've got to have a rural game also.
We just can't have an urban in a suburban game.
We've got to have a rural game also. Until we
maximize the number of locations that Democrats are in getting
volunteers in those particular areas to do the canvassing that
you talked about, we're going to continue to be second
class in the state of Texas and other states where
we do have we don't have the maximization.

Speaker 11 (32:54):
All right, Sata ROYSWZ. I appreciate it.

Speaker 13 (32:57):
Thanks a bunch. That's called the flyway signal. That means
the segment is over second.

Speaker 11 (33:02):
The flyway s do till break.

Speaker 13 (33:07):
We'll be right back on this Alpha show. Roland Park
unfiltered on the Black Star.

Speaker 9 (33:11):
Now that's my that's my son.

Speaker 41 (33:17):
Here's a seventy eight year old billionaire who has not
stopped whining about his problem.

Speaker 5 (33:24):
Oh, she had a big crowd, horded crowd.

Speaker 11 (33:26):
This weird obsession with crowd sizes.

Speaker 42 (33:31):
It just goes on Ama because what is her new chapter.

Speaker 11 (33:42):
We are ready for President Kamala Harris.

Speaker 32 (33:45):
And Haamlah Harris and improved the sassage.

Speaker 38 (33:48):
Longley teenagers were arrested, tried, convicted.

Speaker 9 (33:51):
And sent to prisoners.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Exonerate what he did to us.

Speaker 20 (33:54):
He tried to end us. Of course, I hate this.

Speaker 9 (33:57):
He's so called the Central Park five calling EXECU.

Speaker 20 (34:00):
Let's all hate these people. You cannot have this man
go into office again.

Speaker 28 (34:04):
I want society to have We weren't in a secuse.

Speaker 9 (34:07):
The confessions were coursed.

Speaker 4 (34:09):
Today we are exonerated.

Speaker 43 (34:11):
That guy says he still stands by the original guilty verdict.

Speaker 40 (34:15):
This is about democracy being on the ballot. Look at Kamalo.
She represents the kaleidoscope of the human family. There is
something different happening in America. We will get the opportunity
to build a future where we will be able to
thrive and not just survive.

Speaker 44 (34:36):
Jill Stein, Green Party candidate for president. So why are
Trump's close allies helping her? Stein was key to Trump's
twenty sixteen wins in battleground states. She's not sorry she
helped Trump win. That's why I vote for Stein. It's
really a vote for Trump.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
Jill Stein.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
I like her very much.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
You know why she takes one hundred percent from them.

Speaker 32 (35:02):
I'm Kamala Harris, and I approved this message.

Speaker 36 (35:06):
I get it.

Speaker 45 (35:07):
The cost of rent, groceries, and utilities is too high.

Speaker 32 (35:10):
So here's what we're going to do about it.

Speaker 45 (35:12):
We will lower housing costs by building more homes and
crack down on landlords we're charging too much.

Speaker 32 (35:18):
We will lower your food and grocery.

Speaker 45 (35:20):
Bills by going after price gougers or keeping the cost
of everyday goods too high. I'm Kamala Harris and I
approved this message because you work hard for your paycheck,
you should get to keep more of it. As president,
I'll make that my top priority.

Speaker 46 (35:36):
The overturning of Roe almost killed me. I had a
blood clot in my uterus that caused my labor to
have to be induced. Because of the overturn of Roe
v Wade, I wasn't able to get life save and
treatment sooner. I almost died. And that's because of the
decision that Donald Trump made.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
I was able to get Roe v Wade terminated, and
I'm proud.

Speaker 11 (36:00):
To have done it.

Speaker 46 (36:01):
The doctors and nurses were afraid if they treated me
in the incorrect way that they would be prosecuted for that,
and that's appalling.

Speaker 47 (36:09):
Donald Trump says that women should be punished.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
You do believe in punishment for abortion. There has to
be some form of punishment for the women.

Speaker 28 (36:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 46 (36:18):
I believe that women should have reproductive freedom to make
the choices about their own bodies. Four more years of
Donald Trump means that women's rights will continue to be
taken away, one by one by one by one.

Speaker 47 (36:31):
This has to stop because women are dying.

Speaker 32 (36:33):
I'm Kamala Harris and I approve this message.

Speaker 48 (36:36):
It's really rich for democratic leaders to say that Donald
Trump is a unique threat to democracy when he peacefully
gave over power.

Speaker 11 (36:44):
He is still saying he didn't lose the election. I
would just ask to that, did he lose the twenty
twenty election?

Speaker 49 (36:51):
Tim, I'm focused on the future. That is a damning
non answer, America. I think if you've got a really
clear choice of who's going to honor that democracy and
who's going to honor Donald Trump.

Speaker 11 (37:06):
Winners never back down from a challenge.

Speaker 37 (37:08):
Champions know it's any time, any place, but losers may
whine and waffle and take.

Speaker 12 (37:15):
Their ball home.

Speaker 4 (37:16):
Trump now refusing to debate a second time.

Speaker 10 (37:18):
He did terribly in the last debate. He's so easily
triggered by Kamala Harris.

Speaker 45 (37:23):
Well, Donald, I do hope you'll reconsider to meet me
on the debate stage.

Speaker 32 (37:28):
If you've got something to say, say toy. I'm Kamala
Harris and I approved this message.

Speaker 37 (37:36):
Kamala Harris has never back down from a challenge. She
put cartel members and drug traffickers behind bars, and she
will secure our border.

Speaker 17 (37:46):
Here's her plan.

Speaker 37 (37:47):
Hire thousands more border agents, enforce the law, and step
up technology and stop fentanyl smuggling and human trafficking. We
need a leader with a real plan to fix the border,
and that's Kamala Harris.

Speaker 32 (38:02):

Speaker 13 (38:05):
We talk about blackness and what happens in black culture.

Speaker 11 (38:10):
You're about covering.

Speaker 13 (38:11):
These things that matter to us, us speaking to our
issues and concerns.

Speaker 6 (38:15):
This is a genuine people power movement.

Speaker 4 (38:18):
A lot of stuff that we're not getting.

Speaker 9 (38:20):
You get it, and you spread the word.

Speaker 50 (38:21):
We wish to plead our own cause to long have
others spoken for us. We cannot tell our own story
if we can't pay for it. This is about covering
us invest in black on media.

Speaker 17 (38:35):
Your dollars matter.

Speaker 24 (38:36):
We don't have to keep asking them to cover ourself.

Speaker 11 (38:40):
So please support us in what we do. Folks, we
want to hit two thousand people fifty dollars. This month
waits one hundred thousand dollars. We're behind one hundred thousand,
so we want to hit that.

We're about to see the rise where I call white
minority resistance.

Speaker 50 (39:29):
We have seen white folks in this country who simply
cannot tolerate black folks voting.

Speaker 35 (39:35):
I think what we're seeing is the inevitable result of
violent denial.

Speaker 16 (39:40):
This is part of American history.

Hello, I'm a Ritha Mitchell I new thank her at

Speaker 6 (41:00):
What's up with Sammy Roman?

Speaker 32 (41:01):
And you are watching Roland Martin unfiltered?

Speaker 11 (41:21):
All right for us, Welcome back to Roland Martin on
filter US.

Speaker 13 (41:23):
Bringing our panel doctorm congoll to being a senior profatorial lecturer,
School of International Service of the American University. Coming to
us out of DC, doctor Julian Malvault, Economist, President Marylyn Bennett,
College author Given.

Speaker 11 (41:37):
Reynolds, contributor with the Route, the former speechwriter.

Speaker 13 (41:39):
Or to Vice President Kamala Harris coming to us from
New Haven, Cinetic, glad to have all three of you here.
Let me just start with you, Julian, on this whole point.
And we keep emphasizing this, but it's crucial. If we
would vote our numbers, black folks, we could keep talking
about why they're not addressing our issues while these things

(42:00):
are not coming up because we're not voting.

Speaker 11 (42:03):
You look at the election in Louisiana.

Speaker 13 (42:05):
If black people had voted our numbers, and you don't
have a maga governor.

Speaker 11 (42:11):
If you vote, you vote our numbers.

Speaker 13 (42:13):
We control mayor oral elections, We control city council elections,
We controlled state watt elections. We talk about political jerimandary,
There is no political jamandary in state wide elections because
you don't have these separate districts. And so that to me,
has to be our focus. Maximizing our power. You ain't

(42:35):
got no power when it's when you sitting on the couch.

Speaker 27 (42:39):
Well, absolutely rolland I mean no black turnout. And even
if we get to if we get to sixty, we'll
be lucky. But as you said, seventy percent would be great.
Seventy percent would mean we could be the tail that
wags a dog. Seventy pursuit would be that Colin Allred
could beat Ted Cruz. And we know we need Ted
Cruise to go retire, do something with him. Will perhaps

(43:04):
you know, look, look at Georgia. There are just so
many opportunities that we're not taking. And I don't know
where the brainwashing came from, but some of us just
don't vote. I had a young sister actually stick her
chest out me and she said, I don't vote, like
that was something to rag about. And I just come
from church, so I couldn't say too much. I tried

(43:26):
not to curse on Sunday kind of, but I was
just stunned at her. I don't vote, but there are
a lot of younger people who don't think that vote
makes a difference. Well, we know how votes make a difference.
We know what the Orange Man did to the Supreme Court.
We know what he did to our economy in terms

(43:46):
of giving all those tax breaks to wealthy people and
increasing our deficit. We could go down the list, but
there are some people who are biothic. I don't know
where it came from. One thing is we don't teach
cyncs and schools anymore. That's what been one of the
things I was early cut. And the other thing is that,
as I said, you got these I mean so called revolutionaries,

(44:09):
like these idiots in a docs who say they're not
gonna vote. Let's say get reparations. Well, if you don't vote,
you won't get reparations. So some people are just repeating nonsense.
Well if you do a service, well, Freddy is the
bot as always. But we we have to keep talking
to our people and I'm not sure at some point,

(44:30):
well how we get them from point A to point B.
We have power, Reverend Jaxi's gonna say, well, I can
to pick.

Speaker 11 (44:42):
Well, I'm a congo.

Speaker 13 (44:43):
Again, this is not this is not just frankly young voters.
I was in line with a woman who was fifty
four years old.

Speaker 11 (44:50):
Uh, and she said, to be honest, I didn't really
pay attention to politics until Trump came along. And she said,
my mom died early. It really wasn't my thing. I
was telling her.

Speaker 13 (45:01):
I said, listen, I said, I said, my parents have
been working elected as long as you've been.

Speaker 11 (45:05):
Alive, and so we have that. But yeah, I just
think that we have.

Speaker 13 (45:10):
To have a massive, a massive voter education civics campaign
in our community after this election to understand that there
are elections every single year.

Speaker 11 (45:24):
It's not just one. We got to be in the
game and every single one of these elections.

Speaker 20 (45:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 51 (45:31):
Absolutely, and shout out to what we do here at
the Blackstar Network, Roland, because you've always made this a priority.
When it's not an election, when it's not a mid terms,
you're consistently talking about this and shout out to Laclassa
Brown and Cliff Albright and so many people who are
just out there doing this work every single day. My
hope is when I'm seeing on these college campuses as well,

(45:52):
is that this new generation of when I say new
generation of people like my daughters voting for the presidency
for the first time. I feel like with somebody like
a Vice President Harris on the ticket, the way that
people are getting engaged, I do believe that this could
be an election when we can actually start especially if
she wins, people can actually start turning the tide as
it relates to staying consistent, staying engaged, understanding that it's

(46:16):
not just about voting for presidents. You got to show
up at every level, like if all of the guests
that you had in the first part of this show,
and we have to do this.

Speaker 21 (46:23):
And because what you.

Speaker 51 (46:24):
Said, Roland in your second Million Interviews earlier, when you
said that their voter suppressed states, people really need to
understand that that, like to the woman who put their
chest out in front of doctor my vote, that people
are actively working to make us not vote, to make
us not see the interest in voting, to make us

(46:45):
not understand our power in voting. They're targeting us of
all of these ads, because they understand our power, and
at some point we got to understand.

Speaker 21 (46:54):
Our power too.

Speaker 51 (46:55):
Like you said, the fifty four year old lady, you
talk to the older people, and so when you're out
there in line that stuff's getting the replays on YouTube,
you talk to those two brothers who are talking about
being girl dads like myself also have a son, but
two daughters as well. They speak for me as well.
And so the more we keep telling these stories, the
more we keep showing people showing up the way people

(47:15):
like you and others are going at celebrities who are
you know, challenging people like Lord Jamar and people who
are saying ignorant stuff. This is the time to not
only stand up now, but to put something in place
that's really going to have a new level of activism
going forward. Because I think with Dobbs, with Trump and
what's going on, people are finally starting to understand that

(47:36):
they have to show up every time or we're going
to just keep losing.

Speaker 13 (47:43):
Absolutely, And again, what I think, Gavin, what people have
to understand is we're talking about power. Politics is about power,
It's about controlling resource, it's about being able to have
public pol see controlling the politics. And that's why people

(48:04):
have to understand that when you check out of the process,
you're frankly, you are allowing other people to be in
control of a system.

Speaker 52 (48:15):
Absolutely, and when we as a community choose to keep
ourselves on the sidelines, there's just no excuse for that.
But what I do think this comes down to in
so many ways, and doctor Melvo and Amacongo both hit
on this is the lack of civics education in this country.
And I think this is detrimental for a number of reasons,
but the fact that a lot of our people don't

(48:36):
understand how our government works and means that let's say
they may have voted in the past, but if they
haven't seen the results that they know we're hoping for
with that, without that understanding of the barriers and the
roadblocks that stand in the way of making political progress
in terms of at the local level, at the state level,
at the federal level. What it means that we have,

(48:58):
you know, three branches of government where the president can
propose a bill and ultimately sign a bill, but can't
just enact a bill, you know, because he or she
wishes to. I think because we don't understand that always,
it makes us jaded and disenchanted with the whole process.
But if we equipped our young people with the information

(49:20):
and the knowledge of how our government works, then I
think there'd be more of that recognition of Okay, I
need to stay engaged, not just because with one election
I didn't get everything I wanted, but I have to
keep my foot on the gas and we as a
community have to do that. But Roland, it's more actually
than just voting. You talk about power, and I think
that hits the nail on the head because it's more

(49:42):
than just showing up and voting. But it's then holding
our leaders accountable through our power once they get into office,
and that includes by what we do with our resources
as a community. Are we engaged in terms of organizing fundraisers,
giving donations to candidates who advance our interests, showing up
to challenge halls. These are all ways where we can

(50:03):
exercise our power, and by doing that, those in power
can't help but recognize the power that we have and
advance our interests as a result with the power that
they have. So I think it just requires a full
understanding of how our process works, and it requires us
to be engaged, not just in terms of voting, but
in terms of donating, getting involved, and showing.

Speaker 16 (50:24):
Up, not just when there's an election happening.

Speaker 13 (50:29):
Indeed, indeed, all right, folks, gotta go to break. We
come back more from Dallas, Texas well. Later we hear
from congress Woman Jasmin Crockett, who was traveling around to
various early putting sites as well.

I got a chance to catch up with her, so
we'll hear from her.

me shout out Arbury lead. He came by and asked
me to sign his copy of White Bear, and he
dropped off donation to our show. And so I appreciate
that I had some folks who were handed me cash
when I was in North Carolina, when I was in

(51:10):
Pennsylvania and so we appreciate all of it as well.

Speaker 11 (51:12):
So you can support our work, folks, the work that
we do.

Speaker 13 (51:15):
We don't have millionaires and billionaires sending us checks of
funding this. We're doing it ourselves, and so your donations
play a critical role in helping us. Supposed to cash

This is about democracy being on the ballot. Look at Kamala.
She represents the kaleidoscope of the human family. There's something

really a vote for Trump.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
Jill Stein. I like her very much. You know why
she takes one hundred percent from them.

Speaker 32 (53:06):
I'm Kamala Harris and I approve this message.

Speaker 37 (53:09):
Kamala Harris has never backed down from a challenge. She

Speaker 17 (53:19):
Here's her plan.

Speaker 37 (53:21):

Speaker 32 (53:36):

Speaker 25 (53:39):
He told us who he was.

Speaker 28 (53:41):
Should abortion be punished, it has to be some formal punishment.

Speaker 25 (53:45):
Then he showed us.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
For fifty four.

Speaker 53 (53:47):
Years they were trying to get gro V Waight terminated,
and I did it, and I'm proud to have done it.

Speaker 25 (53:53):
Now Donald Trump wants to go further with plans to
restrict birth control, ban abortion nationwide, even monitor a women's pregnancies.
We know who Donald Trump is. He'll take control. We'll
pay the price.

Speaker 32 (54:06):
I'm Kamala Harris, and I approve this message.

Speaker 11 (54:09):
I get it.

Speaker 45 (54:10):

Speaker 32 (54:13):

Speaker 45 (54:15):
crack down on landlords we're charging too much. We will
lower your food and grocery bills by going after price
gougers or keeping the cost of everyday goods too high.
I'm Kamala Harris, and I approve this message. Because you
work hard for your paycheck, you should get to.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
Keep more of it.

Speaker 45 (54:36):
As president, I'll make that my top priority.

Speaker 28 (54:39):
Hello.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
I'm Paula J.

Speaker 13 (54:40):
Parker, Trudie Proud of the Proud Family, Louder and Prouder
on Disney Plus, and you're watching Rowland mind.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
I'm filter.

Speaker 13 (55:21):
Folks, how many times have I said, listen to what
they say to any black man or black.

Speaker 11 (55:27):
Woman out there considering voting for Donald Trump.

Speaker 13 (55:30):
This man has made it clear that he is going
to allow cops to do whatever they want if he
becomes president again. This is what he actually said in
a recent town hall. Listen to this actions, little c Span.

Speaker 53 (55:46):
So, Jim, one thing we're going to be doing, and
we're going to be doing it strongly, and I've wanted
to do it and looked at it for a long time,
but we have to do it. Immunity for some of
these spaces. You said, you have fourteen people and you
don't believe maybe one or two, I mean, maybe some
are guilty of something, but I would bet.

Speaker 17 (56:05):
You a lot of them aren't.

Speaker 53 (56:07):
And they're going through hell and their pension's going to
be gone. Frankly, their family is going to end up
being gone, their car, their house, everything.

Speaker 20 (56:15):
So we want to do immunity.

Speaker 53 (56:16):
We also want to call for the death penalty for
anybody killing a police officers.

Speaker 34 (56:22):
That have to do.

Speaker 53 (56:28):
We'll be pressing and thank you for your support.

Speaker 17 (56:30):
Attorney General.

Speaker 20 (56:31):
Let's say after us right now, you have a yeah,
I know you're.

Speaker 37 (56:35):
But moostht of these guys that do get found deennis
cent or bankrupt by.

Speaker 20 (56:38):
Them, that's right.

Speaker 53 (56:40):
If they're innocent, that's have no money left, that's.

Speaker 20 (56:42):
Right, Anthony.

Speaker 53 (56:43):
If you don't, we're going to be looking at that
very strongly though. That police officers there, they're doing their job.
If they do their job, and if they if they
make a mistake, even if it's a mistake, and that
can happen. You were telling me, others were telling me
they have like a quarter of a second to make
a decision. You would have a hard time with that.
I mean literally a quarter of a second to make

(57:04):
a decision. And if it's the wrong decision, their life
is over. And we have to help people out now
it's time. So we're going to do the immunity thing
and we're going to fight alongside of them.

Speaker 27 (57:15):
We have to.

Speaker 53 (57:16):
We have to stop being politically correct, and you have
You're always going to have some bad apples, but they
are very very few.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
How many of the fourteen would you say would be.

Speaker 17 (57:25):
Innocent, innocent innocent?

Speaker 18 (57:30):
Probably about about ten of them, all right.

Speaker 17 (57:33):
And maybe the others are overcharged.

Speaker 12 (57:35):
There's still a lot of work.

Speaker 53 (57:36):
Yeah, yeah, that's it's pretty tough stuff. It's happening all.

Speaker 1 (57:39):
Over, very expensive to defend yourself.

Speaker 53 (57:41):
Well, they're afraid to do their job too. They want
to do their job, but they're afraid to do their job.

Speaker 20 (57:45):
We'll take care of it.

Speaker 11 (57:50):
On a congo. You see this, no regard for the
people who they killed. They don't care.

Speaker 13 (57:56):
And so if you are considering voting for Donald Trump
and you cared about George Floyd, you cared about.

Speaker 11 (58:03):
All these other black men. I mean, you've covered these
stories over and over and over again. You're, oh, yeah,
the guy's like, oh.

Speaker 13 (58:08):
Well, maybe maybe a couple actually deserved it, but the
rest of they really didn't give me a break. There
was no concern, no compassion for any of the folks
who have been gunned down by these cops, even though
they have been convicted. You heard the guy say, well, yeah,
the rest of them have been overcharged. That is what

(58:28):
America's going to look like with Donald Trump back.

Speaker 11 (58:31):
In charge, and black forces had better wake up.

Speaker 21 (58:34):
Oh absolutely.

Speaker 51 (58:35):
And even when we talk about the victims like George Floyd,
we also have the living victims like the exonerated five
whose commercials you're running in every segment again showing Trumps
to privaty, still refusing to apologize.

Speaker 21 (58:47):
And the things that he did to them and that family.
And look, this is also.

Speaker 51 (58:51):
Dil Just a couple of weeks ago, wh did he
say at a rally, all you need is one hour
of violence. That's all you need and everything will be
taken care of right then and there. Who do people
think he's talking about as relates to who that violence
will be targeted at. This is a violent man, violenced
in his core. And when he was president, what did
he try to say to his administrative people when we
were protesting down down in DC?

Speaker 21 (59:14):
Can't we just shoot him in the leg or something
like that.

Speaker 51 (59:16):
This is a man who is violent at his core,
and if he has an opportunity to unleash it, we
are going to.

Speaker 21 (59:21):
Be the first target.

Speaker 51 (59:22):
And I heard the officer or whoever he was talking
to he said, how many of them are innocent? And
he's like, well, innocent, innocent, right. So it's like, come on, man,
It's like, this is a hustle. And this is why
they continue to endorse him. They don't want to talk
about having retraining, having putting himselves in positions where they
actually have to not escalate situations like we saw with
that Miami Dolphins player.

Speaker 21 (59:42):
They don't want to talk about that.

Speaker 51 (59:43):
They want to be able to get away with anything
they do as it relates to killing us or harming
us in any way, shape or form. And not to
mention the white supremacists who we know are joining the
military as well as the police so they can do
just that. Not to mention the people who are fired
and go right down the street and get hired again,
because we don't have the George Floyd and Policing Act,
which Vice President having supports and has helped orchestrate when.

Speaker 21 (01:00:06):
She was a senator as well.

Speaker 9 (01:00:08):
This is real.

Speaker 33 (01:00:09):
This is real.

Speaker 51 (01:00:10):
And if you don't believe anything we are saying, just
go listen to Trump's words. Stop saying, well, I don't
take him seriously, take him literally at everything he says,
because he means it and he's already tried to do it,
and we can't let it happen again.

Speaker 11 (01:00:27):
I mean, I gevin, I mean, it's it's sitting right there.

Speaker 13 (01:00:30):
This man does not give a damn about the people
who have been impacted by police violence. All he cares
about are those cops. And we know cops that have
been absolutely guilty. Those individuals should be in prison and
they have. What they have done to black families is

(01:00:51):
beyond despicable.

Speaker 11 (01:00:52):
He does not care.

Speaker 52 (01:00:56):
Espusually when you have a non incumbent running for president,
they throw out all these policies and promises and plans
or in the case of Donald Trump, concepts of plans,
and we just have to take their word for it.
We just have to listen to what they say. But
with Donald Trump, we can actually look back at what
he did during his four disastrous years in office. So
let's talk about that for a minute. There's this thing

(01:01:17):
called a consent decree.

Speaker 31 (01:01:19):
Bro.

Speaker 16 (01:01:19):
Then we've talked about this on the show before.

Speaker 52 (01:01:21):
It's a powerful tool for those who don't know that
the Department of Justice can use to get local governments
to fix problems education, housing, but policing is a big one.
President Obama, his DOJ entered into consent decrees fifteen times
with local law enforcements for police related issues. Under Trump,
his first Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, effectively banned the use

(01:01:44):
of these consent decrees in law enforcement context altogether. So
against the backdrop of what he's actually saying right now,
but immunity and what he's done this is the exact
kind of policy that we can expect under a second
Trump term. But there's more. As we've been saying time
and time again on this show, Donald Trump is vowed
to bring back stop in frisk, to enlist local law enforcement,

(01:02:04):
to enforce immigration orders, to order the National Guard to
act as police officers. But let's recall what the Biden
and Harris administration has actually done in terms of police
police reform. For all, federal law enforcement, banned the use
of choke holds, called for new standards that limit the
use of deadly force, expanded the Obama administration's restrictions on

(01:02:26):
the transfer of military equipment to local law enforcement. And
while Trump wants to rescind all of that, Kamala Harris
will actually build on the progress of the past four
years to ensure that no one is above the law,
that includes the president.

Speaker 16 (01:02:40):
But that doesn't mean she's going to be soft on crime.
Obviously we all know that No.

Speaker 52 (01:02:44):
She's actually prosecuted violent criminals, removed guns from the streets,
taken down gangs, and as Vice president, oversaw fifteen billion
dollars in investments in local law enforcement. And community safety.
So the contrast here Rowland. Last thing I'll say is
it cannot be clearer. Right with Donald Trump, it's the
same old, same old law order for everyone but himself
and those in power, including police.

Speaker 16 (01:03:03):
For Tamala Harris, it's.

Speaker 52 (01:03:05):
Actually about true public safety and accountability and ensuring that
no one is above the law.

Speaker 11 (01:03:13):
Julian, you know the notion that this.

Speaker 27 (01:03:17):
Man would give police officers immunity no matter what they do.
We could call the role and talk just Breonna Taylor.
We can talk about George Floyd, we can go back
and talk about the brother at Oakland who was killed.
There are just so many cases where actually these officers
it wasn't that they had a snap decision to make.

(01:03:40):
It was that they were careless, stupid and racist. That's
what they were. When someone picks up their taser or
their gun and thinks that their taser, how much law
enforcement training have you had? When someone stops kills a boy,
kills a young man, I mean beats him, you know,
beats him to death. Really, I mean, we have so

(01:04:03):
many cases like that and so and not to mention
the exonerated five and the vitriol with which he went
after them back then when said with the Central Park
case happened, they were not. They've been exonerated, but he
won't acknowledge that. And this whole well, innocent or innocent?

(01:04:23):
Come on, dude, you think you innocent even though you
have thirty four felonies. So let's just be clear. As always,
Donald Trump is talking out of both sides of his mouth.
On one hand, he's saying immunity. On the other hand,
he said, well, there's the bad apples, which is and
should people who are bad apples be forced to bear

(01:04:44):
the consequences of their actions? There is a Gavin is
absolutely right and making the contract between the forty fifth
president and the administration of the forty sixth president and
vice president. The contrast is extremely clear. But so you know, Roland,
I'm just confused, and I'm not often confused, but I'm not.

Speaker 13 (01:05:08):
Well, first of all, I'm not going I'm not confused
because uh, he doesn't care about regular ordinary people.

Speaker 11 (01:05:13):
He's showing exactly who he is, and so that's just
a fact.

Speaker 27 (01:05:16):
So I'm confused about these black people who somehow so.

Speaker 9 (01:05:21):
I'm not I'm not.

Speaker 11 (01:05:24):
Something that I'm not.

Speaker 17 (01:05:26):
I'm not.

Speaker 13 (01:05:27):
There are people who only give a dam about themselves,
and they say, well, hey, guess what, that's not me. Yeah,
but what they're saying is that's not me. I'm not
gonna do that. I'm not I'm not gonna be doing
something to a cop. So hey, he ain't talking to me.
That's what you're dealing with. But what they better understand
is trust me. But they don't understand that every single

(01:05:48):
one of those families, that every single family has been impacted,
never thought.

Speaker 11 (01:05:52):
That they would be actually be impacted. I got to
go to a break, we come back.

Speaker 13 (01:05:56):
We got we got to talk about vicepreends to Kamon
Harris's housing proposals compare to Donald Trump's housing plan.

Speaker 11 (01:06:02):
Oh I'm sorry he doesn't have one.

Speaker 13 (01:06:05):
You're watching rolling Mark Nonfilcher on the Blackstaw Network live
from Prenticeship West Baptist Church here in Dallas, the first
day of.

Speaker 11 (01:06:11):
Early voting in Texas. I'll be right back.

Speaker 31 (01:06:16):
IVF is a miracle for us because it allowed us
to have our family. After having my daughter, I wanted
more children, but my embryo transfer was canceled eight days
before the procedure. Donald Trump overturning Roe v. Wade stopped

(01:06:37):
our rights, and that's Kamala Harris.

Speaker 32 (01:06:43):
I'm Kamala Harris, and I approved this Messra then I.

Speaker 18 (01:06:45):
Both voted for Donald Trump.

Speaker 34 (01:06:47):

Speaker 33 (01:06:52):
to bring.

Speaker 12 (01:06:56):
He didn't do.

Speaker 34 (01:06:57):
Anything to help us. Kamala Harris cares about the American people.
I think she's got the wherewithal to make a difference.

Speaker 12 (01:07:03):

Speaker 18 (01:07:05):
Yes, yeah, both lifelong Republicans.

Speaker 12 (01:07:07):

Speaker 18 (01:07:09):

Speaker 12 (01:07:10):

Speaker 46 (01:07:15):
The overturning of Roe almost killed me. I had a
blood clot in my uterus that caused my labor to
have to be induced. Because of the overturn of Roe v. Wade,
I wasn't able to get life state and treatment sooner.
I almost died. And that's because of the decision that
Donald Trump made.

Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
I was able to get Roe V. Wade terminated, and
I'm proud to have done it.

Speaker 46 (01:07:40):
The doctors and nurses were afraid if they treated me
in the incorrect way that they would be prosecuted for that,
and that's appalling. Donald Trump says that women should be punished.

Speaker 1 (01:07:52):
You do believe in punishment for abortion? There has to
be some formal punishment for the women.

Speaker 28 (01:07:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 46 (01:07:57):
I believe that women should have reproductive freedom to make
the choices about their own bodies. Four more years of
Donald Trump means that women's rights will continue to be
taken away, one by one by one by one.

Speaker 47 (01:08:10):
This has to stop because women are dying.

Speaker 32 (01:08:12):
I'm Kamala Harris, and I approve this hatred on the streets.

Speaker 49 (01:08:15):
A horrific scene, a white nationalist rally that descended into
deadly violence.

Speaker 11 (01:08:22):
Well, white people are moving their.

Speaker 3 (01:08:25):
Their minds.

Speaker 11 (01:08:27):
As a angry pro Trump mob storm to the US capital.

Speaker 13 (01:08:30):
Who's shown We're about to see the lads where I
call white minority resistance.

Speaker 50 (01:08:34):
We have seen white folks in this country who simply
cannot tolerate black folks voting.

Speaker 35 (01:08:41):
I think what we're seeing is the inevitable result of
violent denial.

Speaker 16 (01:08:46):
This is part of American history.

Speaker 35 (01:08:47):
Every time that people of color have made progress, whether
real or symbolic, there has been, but Carol Anderson that
every university calls white rage as a backlash is.

Speaker 13 (01:08:57):
The wrath of the proud boys and the Boogaaloo boys America.

Speaker 20 (01:09:00):
There's going to be more of this.

Speaker 33 (01:09:02):
It's all the god.

Speaker 30 (01:09:04):
This country just getting increasingly racist and its behaviors and
its attitudes because of the fear of white people.

Speaker 13 (01:09:12):
The food that they're taking our jobs, they're taking out
our resources, they're taking out women.

Speaker 11 (01:09:17):
This is white Field.

Speaker 31 (01:09:33):
before the procedure. Donald Trump overturning Roe V. Wade stopped

(01:09:54):
our rights and that's Kamala hair.

Speaker 32 (01:10:00):

Speaker 28 (01:10:06):
Hi everybody, I'm Kim Coles.

Speaker 26 (01:10:08):
Hey, I'm Dottie Simpson, j.

Speaker 51 (01:10:09):
Dion Cole from Blackness and you want well, then money,
I'm filthy.

Speaker 13 (01:10:26):
All right, first, welcome back to Roland unfiltered here on
the Black Star Network.

Speaker 11 (01:10:30):
Let's talk about housing.

Speaker 13 (01:10:32):
There's a stark contrast between Vice President of Kamala Harris
and Donald Trump. Harris actually has a housing plan. Donald
Trump doesn't even have concepts. He literally has nothing. We're
gonna play for you in a bit of sound bite
on my interview with Vice President Kamala Harris a week ago.
Let me right now, though, Let's go to my next guest,

(01:10:52):
David Dwarkin, President and CEO of the National Housing Conference,
who joins us from Washington.

Speaker 48 (01:10:58):
D C.

Speaker 13 (01:10:59):
David pre have you actually seen a housing plan from
Donald Trump?

Speaker 11 (01:11:04):
Because I haven't.

Speaker 54 (01:11:06):
Well, I'd rather talk about her plan because it's actually
one of the most detailed housing plans I've ever seen
out of a camp.

Speaker 13 (01:11:14):
Oh yeah, yeah, no, no, no, We we absolutely gonna
talk about her plan, but I'm starting out by making
the point she actually has one. I haven't seen one
from him, and it reminds me of two thousand, reminds
me of twenty twelve.

Speaker 11 (01:11:28):
David, I'll never forget.

Speaker 13 (01:11:29):
I'm on seeing in the Republican National Convention and I
get into this thing with John King and he's like, well, no,
Rodney has a housing plan, and I'm like, dude, he doesn't.
I literally wrote a column on it last week. And
then Annison Cooper's like, well, you know, we'll sort it out.
I'm like, no, we're not going to sort it out.

Speaker 11 (01:11:48):
I'm telling you doesn't have one.

Speaker 13 (01:11:50):
We go to the commercial break, they come back and
I go, hey, doing the break, I checked, he ain't
got one. And so and this is one of the
most fundamental issues that impacting the right now. People are
complaining about high rent When I interviewed the Vice President,
everybody's talking about the twenty five thousand dollars. I think
the major part of her plan is the building of

(01:12:12):
three million units because we have a deficit of housing
stock in America.

Speaker 54 (01:12:18):
Well, that's absolutely right. And the reality is that the
two major proposals that she has in her plan already
have significant bipartisan support, and one of them, building more
affordable rental housing, actually past the Republican controlled House of Representatives,
and we need to get these bills passed and have

(01:12:41):
the President sign them so that we can build those homes.
That is the core issue for housing prices. It's the
law of supply and demand. We just don't have enough houses.
We need to build a lot more. And I've heard
you talk about it in the past, you get it.
I mean, since the Great Recession, we have not built
new nearly enough homes millions short. And the other piece

(01:13:04):
of this is that we also lost a lot of
homebuilders in the Great Recession and we haven't really replaced
that capacity. So we need to create more homes. We
also need to build more companies and jobs. And frankly,
that's where you know, everybody needs to step up. And

(01:13:26):
there's a huge opportunity to become a home builder these days,
especially if you're already doing home repair of renovation.

Speaker 13 (01:13:34):
In fact, during the congression of Black Caucus Foundation ALC,
I ran to a sister who's actually building micro homes
on seventy five acres in Alabama.

Speaker 11 (01:13:45):
Because this is an opportunity.

Speaker 13 (01:13:46):
I know some churches that are looking to do the
exact same thing, and so people are looking at creating
different opportunities from traditional home builders.

Speaker 54 (01:13:56):
Yes, and there are churches around the country. I've been
working with Black Church just for over thirty years on
housing issues, and in Detroit and other cities around the country,
people are really making a difference. They already owned some land,
they have experience in development. You know, there's a lot
of moving parts to building a church, and they have

(01:14:18):
credibility in the community, and that's a really big deal.

Speaker 13 (01:14:25):
I guess what's frustrating to me, David, is like you
get my question off the top. All I keep hearing
from these mainstream media outlets is like, where her policies.
Where her policies? Where her policies And so here's one
that she laid out and they act like, well, okay,
doesn't exist.

Speaker 11 (01:14:40):
And I'm sitting there going this is real. This is
this is a fundamental problem.

Speaker 13 (01:14:46):
And again I keep showing that chart that we built
the fewest number of homes between twenty and ten in
twenty twenty since the nineteen forties.

Speaker 11 (01:15:00):
That's real. So you've got to increase in demand and
the price is going up. It is crazy.

Speaker 54 (01:15:06):
Yeah, you're absolutely right. I have to say that we're
non parts in organization. But anybody who knows housing will
look at that plan that she put out there and say,
this is the most detailed housing plan from a presidential
candidate in history. And she lays it out, she says
exactly what she's for two of the major housing supply

(01:15:29):
engines are already in bills and just ready to pass.

Speaker 21 (01:15:34):
So it's pretty impressive.

Speaker 54 (01:15:36):
And the other thing I'll just note is that, and
you don't hear this talked about nearly enough, but we
lost a horrific number of black homeowners during the Great Recession.
And anybody who lives in a community that's predominantly people
of color, they know exactly what I'm talking about, and

(01:15:58):
it's a tragedy. Just a few years ago, the home
ownership rate for Black Americans was lower than it was
in nineteen sixty eight when the Fair Housing Act was passed.

Speaker 4 (01:16:08):
And so we've got to move that number.

Speaker 54 (01:16:10):
It's one of the reasons we created the Black home
Ownership Collaborative three x thirty dot org and we work
with the National Urban League the NAACP, but also realtists
and realtors and mortgage bankers and fair housing advocates and
community development groups to build black home ownership because that's.

Speaker 16 (01:16:31):
How we build wealth.

Speaker 21 (01:16:32):
And I don't have to tell you that.

Speaker 10 (01:16:34):
You know that as well as anybody.

Speaker 21 (01:16:35):
I hear it on your show.

Speaker 13 (01:16:39):
Well, I'll tell you what, and I know somebody watching
right now that they think I'm crazy what I'm about
to say, but the home I bought here in the
Dallas area nineteen ninety nine, I got it four one
hundred and twenty two thousand, one hundred dollars, and the
I would say property taxes probably was twenty five, twenty seven,

(01:17:01):
twenty eight hundred or something like that. Well, because of
this demand, and I'm about to say, people may think
I'm crazy. One of the reasons the numbers shows how
wealth is increased is because home prices have soared.

Speaker 11 (01:17:14):
The same house today, I believe my last checked.

Speaker 13 (01:17:18):
The last checked, it's about three hundred and twenty seveni
thousand dollars.

Speaker 11 (01:17:23):
The value of the home.

Speaker 13 (01:17:24):
Property taxes are close to eight thousand dollars, okay, And
the reason that number has shot up is because of
the lack of housing. I have gotten calls, text messages
of phone calls, damn near every day. And because my
parents are on the same plan, my sister gets the

(01:17:45):
my dad gets some, my mom gets some, my wife
gets them. And my answer is no, I ain't selling.
My parents are retired, they living my home, and my
niece leaves there as well. But I'm like, no, this
is what's going on. And so yes, if you ad stock,
it might actually bring the housing. It might bring of
course the value housing prices down, but it's also going

(01:18:08):
to alleviate all of the pain people are suffering, you know,
and again, thank god I own that home. If my
parents and my niece and her husband had to live
in apartments right now, I can't even imagine whether they
would be paying, combined to be renters as as compared
to frankly living in my house rent free.

Speaker 21 (01:18:27):
That's exactly right.

Speaker 54 (01:18:28):
And you know, the difference is, and there's nothing wrong
with renting when that's the right thing for you. But
when you're owning a home and you're paying your mortgage,
you're paying your rent to yourself. And that's why it's
such a right. Your engine of growing wealth is because
the payment you're making to live is also your investment payment,

(01:18:52):
and you can't get that with any other kind of investment.

Speaker 13 (01:18:58):
Last point here again we talk about in terms of
what we're seeing, talk about how serious this problem is.

Speaker 11 (01:19:11):
With private equity.

Speaker 13 (01:19:13):
Estimated to own forty percent of all single family homes
by the year twenty thirty, that's just six that's just
five almost five little or five years away.

Speaker 11 (01:19:25):
That is unbelievable.

Speaker 54 (01:19:28):
Well, we have to be careful when we look at
trend lines. A lot of these companies are moving into
build to rent, and we need more rental properties. I
don't care whether you build them side by side or
stack them.

Speaker 21 (01:19:40):
On top of each other.

Speaker 54 (01:19:41):
What I've got a real problem with is when people
are in neighborhoods buying up all the homes off of
the multiple listing service, and home buyers can't compete with
that cash. And that's the thing I need to really
pay attention to. And we've worked with some of these
companies to say, you know, you'll need to be selling
those homes not to other investors, but into the market

(01:20:04):
and for first time home buyers. It's also true that
this is one of the areas where the Harris Plan
and certainly JD Vance's attitudes about housing converge. And the
reality is that there's a reason why people have been
so worked up about this, and it's because folks who

(01:20:26):
want to be homeowners had been struggling to compete and
it's not an even plan. Well, we need to help folks.

Speaker 11 (01:20:34):
I've been cover owners. Yeah, well I've been covering this.

Speaker 9 (01:20:38):
I tell you.

Speaker 13 (01:20:39):
I mean people thought I was crazy in two thousand
and nine when I was on the CNN when I
was like, yo, don't let these banks off the hook
with these toxic assets. Because what happened we bail them out,
They took the money, took care of their bottom line,
they held onto those homes, and then turned around and
sold twenty five thousand lots to private equity and a

(01:21:02):
regular ordinary person who was waiting to buy their own home.

Speaker 11 (01:21:04):
They couldn't compete with that.

Speaker 21 (01:21:08):
Yeah, we need to do better.

Speaker 54 (01:21:09):
And I also just want to say I really appreciate
your leadership and certainly appreciate you having me on the show,
but this is something that everybody's got to be thinking
and talking about. And I will also say, if you
own your own home and somebody calls you saying I
want to give you cash or that home, you should
think about that because there's a reason they're coming there
and trying to offer you that. And talk to your family,

(01:21:32):
talk to your pastor talk to people you trust, because
nobody gives you something for free. And we need to
take care of ourselves and protect our wealth. And that's
I think your listeners.

Speaker 21 (01:21:45):
Are good at that. But in housing.

Speaker 54 (01:21:47):
It just is sometimes it's just hard to focus on
the way I might think about other stuff. And that's
your most important asset, frankly.

Speaker 13 (01:21:58):
And also what's happening is you have a lot of
children when their parents pass away, grandparents pass away, they
don't want to live there, and so what do they
do is offloaded to anybody, and then we see what
happens when.

Speaker 9 (01:22:11):
You do that.

Speaker 11 (01:22:12):
So it is an asset.

Speaker 13 (01:22:13):
And I can just tell you from personal experience having
multiple generations, but by my parents, different nieces, nephew going
through my home again, that has actually been greatly beneficial
to my family because they're not having to spend that
fifteen eighteen two twenty five three thousand dollars a month renting.

(01:22:37):
They can actually get a life together and be able
to save that money and then move on. And so
that's also how we have to think about when you
own a home, how it also can extend to your family.

Speaker 54 (01:22:49):
Yeah, you know, I'm always a little offended when people
talk about financial literacy because it implies that people are
financially illiterate, And if you're paying your bills off the
back porch in cash, you definitely have a financial literacy issue.
But what we're talking about here is wealth growth and
wealth management, and that's the key, and folks need to
get past that and say, you know what I'm really

(01:23:12):
talking about, how I'm going to grow where I am today,
and home ownership is going to be a big part
of that.

Speaker 11 (01:23:20):
Absolutely, David, We certainly appreciate it. Thank you so very much,
and we'll be sure to have you back.

Speaker 38 (01:23:26):
Thank you, sir.

Speaker 13 (01:23:29):
All Right, folks, this is the part of the interview
what I Need we buy spirts of the Harris where
she talked about her housing plan roll it housing piece
because what I think is not being talked about the
building of new housing stock. Yes, and so because of
the homeful closure crisis, we literally built under nine or
ten million homes in two thousand and twenty twenty. We're

(01:23:51):
underbuilt now as well, the fewest homes being built since
the nineteen forties. Yes, So a huge part of this
problem with housing is that we don't have the stock.
So talk about that piece there, because I've got demand,
but you don't actually have right now, devailable homes.

Speaker 55 (01:24:06):
So I'm glad you actually presented the point the way
you did, because let's also go back to what you
know in my history on this in terms of being
Attorney General, when I took on the big banks and
because they were doing predatory lending, and a lot of
the folks who were targeted with that predatory lending were
black folks who are being told, Oh, you don't need
to worry about it, you're gonna get We're going to

(01:24:27):
give you this money and and so you can buy
a home without actually doing the announceis to figure out
if they'd be able to afford to pay it back, right,
and folks trusted the banks that if you can loan
me the money, then you must have determined I have
the ability to actually right be able to see it through.
And the foreclosure rates for black homeowners during that crisis, it's.

Speaker 11 (01:24:47):
Three black wealth wiped up.

Speaker 32 (01:24:49):
That's exactly right.

Speaker 55 (01:24:50):
Roland I and I took on and sued the big
banks and ended up delivering twenty billion dollars for the
homeowners of California. The former President Obama recently mentioned the
fact that I actually took on the Department of Justice
and the administration, saying I'm not going to do a
deal that brings crumbs to the table.

Speaker 13 (01:25:10):
But not just when you're entering general because even right
now the DOJ's the Rights Division, the red lining lawsuits,
mortgage discrimination, we have been.

Speaker 32 (01:25:18):
Taking all of it.

Speaker 55 (01:25:19):
Mortgage discrimination, also discrimination and home appraisals. We've taken on
the fact that you know those stories about a black
family is trying to get their praise, their home appraised.
They want to get a second Morgin, they want to
sell the house whatever, and they bring in the appraiser.
The appraiser looks around, looks at the family pictures and
appraises it for less than it's worth.

Speaker 32 (01:25:37):
The family knows that they're not stupid photos, so then.

Speaker 55 (01:25:41):
They remove photos and everything else. Right, they removed all
the blackness, all of that, and then they ask a
white family that's a friend of theirs, come in, they
put up their pictures, and the house gets appraised for
more racial bias.

Speaker 32 (01:25:55):
We're taking that on for the first time.

Speaker 55 (01:25:56):
And I want to give due credit to form a
secretary of hud Marsha, for being a leader on that.

Speaker 32 (01:26:02):
These are the things we've taken on.

Speaker 55 (01:26:03):
And as president, to your point about supply, I'm going
to create tax incentives for home.

Speaker 32 (01:26:09):
Builders and developers to build three.

Speaker 55 (01:26:12):
Million new housing units by the end of my first term,
because a big part of jacking up the prices has
been there's low the supply is not meeting demand, so
the prices are higher. And when you couple that with
twenty five thousand dollars down payment assistance, we have the
ability to give people the opportunity of you achieve what
generations before called the American dream, but which has been

(01:26:35):
out of reach for too many people. My work around
thinking about how it's going to directly impact black folks
is knowing that when you look at racial bias and
home appraisals, when you look at the disproportionate rates of
Black home ownership to other people having home ownership, it's
too low, and it's not because we don't aspire to

(01:26:56):
have a home or buy a home. My work is
about looking at small businesses, knowing they're at the backbone
of our economy, in the neighborhood, in communities, and giving
folks an extension of a tax deduction so it's not
just five thousand dollars for a startup small business, but
fifty thousand dollars, because nobody can start up a small
business on five thousand dollars.

Speaker 11 (01:27:16):
I'm glad you ment a small business.

Speaker 13 (01:27:18):
I was talking to a black restaurant only in Houston,
and we're talking about the corporate tax rate. And one
of the things that he said was he said, all right,
that was the housing portion. My interview with the Vice
president kam lairas all right, gotta go to a break.
We come back black and missing. Also, we're talking about
the exonerated five suing Donald Trump will tell you why,

(01:27:39):
and the Brionna Taylor.

Speaker 11 (01:27:41):
They'll retrial. The federal charges against the cops have all
heard death begin today. We'll give those details as well.

Speaker 13 (01:27:47):
Folks were broadcasting live rollerd Buck on the filchure all
the Black Start Network here from Friendship West Baptist Church
in Dallas.

Speaker 11 (01:27:54):
The first day of early voting in Texas. Will be
right back.

Speaker 38 (01:28:01):
Wrongsley convicted teenagers were arrested, tried, convicted, and.

Speaker 9 (01:28:05):
Sent to prisoner men.

Speaker 2 (01:28:06):
We exonering what he did to us.

Speaker 20 (01:28:08):
He tried to end us. Of course, I hate this.

Speaker 9 (01:28:10):
He's so called the Central Park five calling by executioner.

Speaker 20 (01:28:13):
Let's all hate these people. You cannot have this man
go into office again.

Speaker 28 (01:28:17):
I want society to have we weren't in a secuse.

Speaker 9 (01:28:21):
The confessions were coused.

Speaker 4 (01:28:22):

Speaker 43 (01:28:24):

Speaker 40 (01:28:29):
This is about democracy being on the ballot. Look at
Kamala she represents the kaleidoscope of the human family.

Speaker 20 (01:28:37):
There is something different.

Speaker 17 (01:28:38):
Happening in America.

Speaker 40 (01:28:39):
We will get the opportunity to build a future what
we will be able to thrive and not just survive.

Speaker 41 (01:28:47):
Here's a seventy eight year old billionaire who has not
stopped whining about his problem.

Speaker 5 (01:28:54):
Oh, she had a big crowd, a crowd.

Speaker 41 (01:28:56):
This weird obsession with crowd sizes.

Speaker 28 (01:29:01):
We does no vote.

Speaker 11 (01:29:10):
Because let it herp We are ready for it.

Speaker 29 (01:29:14):
The Kamala Harris and Pamela Harris and I approved this message.

Speaker 18 (01:29:17):
Bob and I both voted for Donald Trump.

Speaker 34 (01:29:20):

Speaker 33 (01:29:25):
to bring.

Speaker 12 (01:29:29):
He didn't do.

Speaker 34 (01:29:29):
Anything to help us. Kamala Harris, she cares about the
American people. I think she's got the wherewithal to make
a difference.

Speaker 12 (01:29:36):

Speaker 18 (01:29:37):
Yes, both lifelong Republicans.

Speaker 12 (01:29:40):

Speaker 18 (01:29:41):

Speaker 12 (01:29:42):

Speaker 30 (01:29:46):
I get it.

Speaker 45 (01:29:47):

Speaker 32 (01:29:51):

Speaker 45 (01:29:52):
crack down.

Speaker 32 (01:29:56):
On landlords we're charging too much. We will lower your
food and grocery.

Speaker 45 (01:30:01):
Bills by going after price gougers or keeping the cost
of everyday goods too high. I'm Kamala Harris, and I
approve this message. Because you work hard for your paycheck,
you should get.

Speaker 18 (01:30:12):
To keep more of it.

Speaker 45 (01:30:13):
As president, I'll make that my top priority.

Speaker 20 (01:30:17):
What's good?

Speaker 23 (01:30:17):
Johnnie is Doug e freshman watching my brother roland marking
underbuilt it as we go with a little something like this,
hit it.

Speaker 20 (01:30:29):
It's real.

Speaker 39 (01:30:47):
That much script.

Speaker 11 (01:30:51):
All right, folks are black and missing. You know, we
really hate when we have to do these stories.

Speaker 13 (01:30:57):
But avery pots, avery pot folks has been missing from Dallas, Texas.
Avery's five feet ten inches tallways one hundred and seventy
five pounds, aris, black eyes are brown. If you have
any information, please call the Dallas Police Department two one
four seven four four four four four four. Again that

(01:31:20):
is a two one four seven four four four four
for four And so we really hope any information because
again too many of our folks go up missing and
don't get the attention of they rightfully deserve from police
but also from national media. And so uh man she

(01:31:41):
did missing since June third. All right, folks, Uh the
exonerated five. Okay, they are suing Donald Trump for defamation.

Speaker 10 (01:31:50):
Uh.

Speaker 13 (01:31:51):
They filed this lawsuit because of his comments at a
presidential debate about the wrongful conviction. The five black and
Hispanic teenagers were wrongfully eviction for the nineteen eighty nine
rape and assault of a woman jogging in Central Park.
They spent years in prison before their convictions were overturned
in two thousand and two once the true culprit confessed

(01:32:11):
and was corroborated by DNA evidence. The lawsuit notes of
the five members never pled guilty and the victim wasn't killed,
claiming Trump's comments were made with a reckless disregard for
their falsity the tens of millions of Americans who tuned
into the debate. We chatted with one of the attorneys
tomorrow who foiled a lawsuit here's what's crazy to me

(01:32:34):
about this.

Speaker 11 (01:32:35):
Here, Gavin.

Speaker 13 (01:32:36):
In the lawsuit, one of the young men, Yusef Salon,
says that he went up to Trump at a debate
in the spin room and Trump says, oh, you must
be one of my supporters. He says, no, I'm not,
and he said, what you apologize and Trump just sort
of just waved them off and kept moving. The fact

(01:32:59):
that Trump and remember the last election, Trump doubled down
and did not apologize to taking that full page ad
out and insisted that they were still guilty.

Speaker 52 (01:33:11):
Yeah, look, this is just further evidence of how Donald
Trump sees us as black people. So let me talk
to those black folks at home. Are still deciding who
to vote for or whether to vote at all? Right,
Donald Trump, since to nineteen I don't remember what year
this was, but Central Park five, now exonerated five, took

(01:33:32):
out a full page ad to have them executed via
the death penalty. How did he come onto the scene
when he ran for president in twenty sixteen by promoting
racist lies about Barack Obama being born in Africa not
being born here in the United States, which he obviously was,
By talking about people from Haiti as coming from shithole
countries by say there are very fine people on both

(01:33:53):
sides of a Unite the Right rally which featured white
supremacist KKK members. He's referred to us as he told
the Proud Boys white supremacists to stand back and stand by.
But it's not just how he sees it, it's how
he treats us in terms of his policies. We've talked
about on this show how over the four years that
Donald Trump was in office, the policies that he put
in place when it comes to criminal justice, and how

(01:34:15):
the Department of Justice was utilized seeking to strip away
healthcare from many many black Americans by putting justices onto
the Supreme Court who have now been responsible for overturning
Roe v. Wade, which has already had and which will
continue to have detrimental impacts on black women in terms
of furthering the maternal health and maternal mortality crisis that

(01:34:37):
we have in this country. And of course, those same
justices who have helped get rid of affirmative action. So again,
the fact that Donald Trump continues to spew this racist rhetoric,
these lies about the now exonerated five, fits into a
broader pattern of who Donald Trump is. And as we know,
when someone shows you who they are, you better doggone
believe them.

Speaker 13 (01:35:00):
Well, Julian, I'm glad to see them file this lawsuit
because he needs to be held accountable for these reckless comments.

Speaker 27 (01:35:09):
Absolutely. I mean he behaves as he's above the law.
He's done that consistently throughout his life, actually failing to
rent to black folks when he was led Lord in Queens,
and we could go through his failing to pay people
he's contracted with, and then he just decides randomly, well,
I'll just pay you this about it was a gentleman

(01:35:30):
who was a piano somebody or other and he ordered
five pls and then paid them for three and told
him you can sue me for the rest of it.
Sider didn't have the money to sue him, so he
got away with it. He gets away with the time
and time and time again. Each Gene Carroll is waiting
for her money, and now the Exigerary Five will be

(01:35:51):
waiting for matage too, because they're actually right to sue him.
He has taken them and he's used them as the
bulletin board towards so called black criminality. They never pled guilty.
We repeat, they never pled guilty. So I hoped that
that lawyer was on some place today. He seemed good,

(01:36:13):
and this is this is a case that will not
He cannot dismiss this if he's elected. We pray that
he's not elected, but if he is, he can't dismiss
this one. He might be able to dismiss the federal
but he can't dismiss.

Speaker 11 (01:36:24):
This absolutely, ma Congo.

Speaker 51 (01:36:30):
You know, watching the pictures of the actual trial when
it happened that you were showing it just made me
think of the weight of what these brothers had to
deal with in eighty nine ninety, like that picture there.
I mean, it's one thing when you have police falsely
accuse you and all of that, the fourth confessions, that's
always happened, But then you have a guy like Trump

(01:36:52):
who on many levels was you know, one of the
most important figures are at least famous figures in New
York at the time, coming at you. And the fact
that they were able to sustain that and come out
the way they are now. I know just all of
the issues that I hear in the interviews and the
light and so I'm really happy that they are still
standing that they are still strong and that they're able

(01:37:14):
to go after him. Right now, some people would just say,
I just want to get out of my life. The
time's over, I forgive, But.

Speaker 21 (01:37:20):
Maybe they would have if he didn't do what he
did in the debate. And he's never gonna stop.

Speaker 51 (01:37:25):
So just like as doctor Malvo said, with Egan Carroll,
people have to do this work to shut him up
and shut him out.

Speaker 21 (01:37:30):
And so I hope that they get every penny.

Speaker 51 (01:37:32):
But look, this is a guy who gets lots of
charges thrown at him and gets convicted and so on
and so forth, doesn't serve jail time, doesn't pay the fines,
you know, And so I'm just hoping that we got
to win so that these cases can continue. But I'm
just really proud of what these brothers and their families
have done and what they're continually doing with their lives
and getting out there in this public space. And let's
lastly remember that the woman who was actually raped and

(01:37:56):
during a lot of this in terms of there was
someone who was actually who didn't want to confess to
this right and so he lived his life, you know,
in prison as well. But I think that there's a
lot of victims in this and I'm just really happy
that they're actually going after Trump right now, and I
hope that they get everything that they deserve and he
gets everything he deserves.

Speaker 13 (01:38:17):
Let's go to Kentucky, where opening statements started on today
in the federal retrial of former Louisville Metro police officer
Brett Hankinson. Hankerson is charged with violating the civil rights
of Breonna Taylor and others for his actions during a
box raid at her home in twenty and twenty. The
jury consists of eight women and seven men. All the

(01:38:39):
Jews are white except for one black man. It's the
same racial makeup and Hankers's trial last fall, which ended
in a mistrial. If convicted, Hankerson faces life in prison.
We talk about this all the time.

Speaker 11 (01:38:52):
I'm a congo. This is a perfect example.

Speaker 13 (01:38:54):
This is what happens when you have an aggressive Department
of Justice Civil Rights Division. That was a mistrial. They
could have easily said, you know what, I'm not going
to retry them. Well, Christian CLARKSVI just said no, we
are going to try to. We are going to retry
him to get justice for Breonna Taylor.

Speaker 21 (01:39:12):
And I'm just gonna say that should commona win.

Speaker 51 (01:39:14):
I'm hoping that Christian Clark is I think he becomes
the Attorney General, and might not. It's a whole justice apartment,
so on and so forth, but this is powerful. They are,
this Justice department. Sometimes we feel like they take long
with the interaction and so on and so forth, but
with these cases, they have been very serious. They have
been very diligent in what they are doing, and they're

(01:39:35):
not speaking up enough about it because that's just not
what they do. But we need to speak up about
it because so many of us have this mindset of, oh, well,
nothing's going to happen. People get off all the time,
and that type of mindset even prevents us from wanting
to file charges when something less egregious happens. That's what
happened with Brianna, and so this needs to be publicized
in all of our spaces, and this needs to be

(01:39:56):
talked about because we can't just look at, you know,
Brionna taylor life and just think that it's over just
because a couple some people didn't get charged, or some
other folks got fired because of a shock that went
through someone else's apartment. Her life was real her story
is well her, I met her mom, her family's real
and I appreciate the fact that the Justice Department has
not let this go and so many of the other cases.

(01:40:19):
And when you have a guy with Trump's bomb bass
trying to do everything he can just to support the
police and talk about everything he's going to do with
immunity and the like, we need to see that the
Justice Department that is active right now is not letting
these cases go. So kudos to Kristen Clark, Kudos to
Merrick Garland and the Justice Department on.

Speaker 13 (01:40:34):
This and Gavin this is exactly why when you have
an aggressive Department of Justice they do this type of thing. Again,
I don't think for a second that Ay, Donald Trump,
Jeff's Sessions, Bill Barr DOJ will give a damn about
the life of Breonna Taylor, and they likely would have
never even charged this cop.

Speaker 52 (01:40:56):
Absolutely not, never would have. And look, it's worth saying
Breonna Taylor should be alive today. And I think it's
one of the gravest miscarriages of justice that we've ever
seen that Daniel Cameron, a black man, when he was
Attorney General of Kentucky, had the chance to indict those
officers for homicide in her death and chose not to.

(01:41:17):
That made me all the more police to see his
ass lose to Andy Basheer. But I digress. I know,
look to all of those again, those black folks who
are really not feeling at this election cycle. Let me
tell you, I know it can feel like at times
that the president doesn't do much, that the decisions that
most impact our lives are made at the state level
or the local level. And yes, it's important that we

(01:41:40):
recognize that state and local elections matter.

Speaker 16 (01:41:42):
But Roland, you are so right.

Speaker 52 (01:41:44):
Who is president determines the cases that the Department of
Justice brings through the network of US attorneys that exist,
or the case that they will not bring, because we
know these cases often do end up being somewhat political decisions,
and the decision to bring a federal case against these
officers would have never, as you said.

Speaker 16 (01:42:01):
Roland, been broad or been made during a Donald Trump presidency.

Speaker 11 (01:42:07):
Well, Julian, you know, I think.

Speaker 27 (01:42:11):
Gavin's point is really important regarding who would bring cases
when herson Clark has done a brilliant job. She's gone
after people with full aggression, gone after folks, not just
individual officers, but jurisdictions for their continued racism, and so
this is really important. But who has that position system

(01:42:33):
general for civil rights? That is very important too, So
we have to look at this. If we didn't learn
anything else, we should have learned about the Supreme Court.
Your appointments matter. And if you look at Project twenty
twenty five, in addition to imposing elimination of many departments,
there's also a whole pipeline in terms of appointments. There

(01:42:55):
are already solictening resumes, right if they want the soliciting
resume and what they're looking for, it's so far of
those reprobates like the Supreme Court that they found.

Speaker 13 (01:43:07):
All right, all right, folks, so tight one second week,
come back, we're gonna hear from congcome and Jasmine Crockett,
who visited a number of early voting locations here in
Dallas County today, the first day of early voting here
in Dallas County.

Speaker 11 (01:43:19):
We'll be right back unfiltered on.

Speaker 13 (01:43:21):
The Blackstot Network live from Friendship West Baptist Church here
in Dallas.

Speaker 21 (01:43:24):
Back at the moment.

Speaker 31 (01:43:28):
before the procedure. Donald Trump overturning Roe v. Wade stopped
us from growing the family that we wanted. I don't
want politicians telling me how or when I can have

(01:43:49):
a baby. We need a president that will protect our rights,

Speaker 32 (01:43:55):

Speaker 37 (01:43:58):
Kamala Harris has never back down from a challenge. She

Speaker 17 (01:44:07):
Here's her plan.

Speaker 37 (01:44:09):

Speaker 32 (01:44:24):

Speaker 44 (01:44:27):
helped Trump win. That's why I vote for Stein's really
a vote for Trump.

Speaker 1 (01:44:47):
Jill Stein. I like her very much. You know why
she takes one hundred percent from them.

Speaker 32 (01:44:53):
I'm Kamala Harris, and I approve this message.

Speaker 48 (01:44:56):
It's really rich for democratic leaders to say that Donald
Trump is a unique threat to democracy when he peacefully
gave over power.

Speaker 11 (01:45:05):
He is still saying he didn't lose the election. I
would just ask to that, did he lose the twenty
twenty election? Tim, I'm focused on the future.

Speaker 9 (01:45:13):
That is a damning non answer.

Speaker 21 (01:45:19):
America.

Speaker 11 (01:45:20):
I think you've got a really clear choice of who's
going to honor that democracy and who's gonna honor Donald Trump.

Speaker 56 (01:45:27):
All Right, I am Tommy Davidson. I play Oscar on
Proud Family, Louder and Prouder. I don't say I don't
play Sammy, but I could. Or I don't play Obama,
but I could. I don't do s the Loan, but
I could do all that. And I am here with
Roland Martin on Unfiltered.

Speaker 11 (01:45:50):
Hey.

Speaker 13 (01:45:51):
Hell, all right, folks. So I'm here in Dallas. I'm
here in Dallas County, here at Frisial West Baptist Church.
In the earlier today, I actually went to a variety
of polling locations here with Congresswoman Jazzmin Crockett. She was
also with a d d in the mornings as they
traveled around talking to ars people, and so I had
a chance to catch up with her. They started at

(01:46:13):
Lancashire High School with the students who did a stroll
to the polls, and I caught up with her here
at Friendship West.

Speaker 11 (01:46:22):
We talked about this election stops in Dallas County. Has
been great turnout all day, Yes.

Speaker 15 (01:46:27):
It has been. I'm really excited. We know that Texas
thirty is fired up.

Speaker 57 (01:46:31):
In fact, Texas thirty has the second highest voter turnout district.

Speaker 15 (01:46:36):
In the state, and I'm coming for that number one spot.

Speaker 57 (01:46:39):
So I am so excited to see that my constituents
are showing up on day one and they are willing
to stand in line, get chairs, or do whatever it
takes because this election matters just that much.

Speaker 11 (01:46:51):
Folks, have they've been having you all over the place.

Speaker 13 (01:46:54):
You've been living on planes, Yes, talk about what you've
been seeing here across the country.

Speaker 15 (01:46:57):
Yeah, it's been really positive.

Speaker 57 (01:46:59):
But from men, I tell them to send me into
the areas in which they can't send other people into.

Speaker 15 (01:47:04):
So I just had a situation in Vegas.

Speaker 57 (01:47:07):
Where two young men showed up in maga hats and
tried to, you know, come at me, but listen, we
know where the policy lies, and we know where well
where the lives lie. And so I was able to
do my good black job and make sure I explain
the difference between a Harris Walls administration and a Trump
advanced administration.

Speaker 15 (01:47:26):
Overall, though, I feel.

Speaker 57 (01:47:27):
Like the momentum is on our side. We just need
to keep pushing and we need to keep the focus
on the real issues. And the real issues look like
the fact that women in this country have become second
rate citizens in specific states. And if the Republicans have
their way, then this Trump Supreme Court, and if Trump
somehow gets into the White House, then this will be

(01:47:50):
across the entire country. So don't think that just because
you're in New York, a, California, or somewhere where they
have actually decided to recognize that we should have rights
over our autonomy, that you are safe.

Speaker 15 (01:48:02):
That is what's on the line. So make sure that
you get out and and vote.

Speaker 57 (01:48:05):
And honestly, we need somebody everybody talking about economics. My
question is where's his economic plan? All I've heard, I
ain't even really heard concepts of a plan. When it
comes to the economics of it.

Speaker 15 (01:48:16):
But we know that Vice.

Speaker 57 (01:48:17):
President Harris is looking to make sure that that black
wealth gap is actually starting to continue to shudder because
we know under this administration it's actually been decreasing. But
we know what the policies that they're trying to put
in place, continuing those Trump tax cuts, that's only going
to put us into a worse situation. So make sure

(01:48:38):
you get out and vote whatever your issue is.

Speaker 15 (01:48:40):
Just google Projects twenty twenty.

Speaker 57 (01:48:42):
Five and your issue, and if you like what it says,
then vote for the orange one. But if you don't
like what it says, then you know the Harris Walls
is the ticket for you.

Speaker 11 (01:48:49):
And I've got to ask you, it has to be.

Speaker 13 (01:48:52):
It has to be as a ticket you off as
a female politician to see a president you can.

Speaker 11 (01:48:58):
It's been on stage.

Speaker 13 (01:48:59):
Talk about a pro golfers, Genitalia and natural The media
act like it's no big deal. I mean, if a
woman candidate did that, the vice persion of Kama Harris
did that, these folks will be losing their minds. It
goes to show you how they have just normalized crazy.

Speaker 15 (01:49:14):
Yeah, I don't even know if it's I don't even
know what to characterize it as.

Speaker 57 (01:49:18):
I will say that it is clear that somebody is
enjoying a privilege that the other candidate is not.

Speaker 15 (01:49:24):
This person said years.

Speaker 57 (01:49:26):
Ago that he could go and kill somebody and avoid prosecution,
and now we have his Supreme Court that basically said, yes,
I will go ahead and give you immunity to break
the law and do whatever you want to do.

Speaker 15 (01:49:38):
Listen, this is the party of lawlessness.

Speaker 57 (01:49:40):
They look at our black skin and they think that it,
existing in and of itself, is breaking the law when
it's not.

Speaker 32 (01:49:47):
And so they have.

Speaker 57 (01:49:48):
Decided to criminalize our blackness. They have decided to criminalize
our diversity and decide to go after diversity, equity and
inclusion and.

Speaker 15 (01:49:56):
Things like that.

Speaker 57 (01:49:56):
But the real crime here is allowing a man who's
not e been allowed to operate a business in the
state of New York to have the audacity and a
shot at operating the largest and best country in the world.
It does not make sense that we know that they
continue to move the bar and raise the bar when
it comes to my vice president.

Speaker 15 (01:50:16):
But let me tell you something, she always rises to
the occasion.

Speaker 57 (01:50:19):
She even decided that she would go into the belly
of the beast and go on Fox News and then
went in and went off on the guy that was
interviewing her. So let me tell you there's only one
person that is strong in this race, because, as you
started off this question, being strong has nothing to do
with Genetelia. It has everything to do with having character
and the ability to lead. And there is only one

(01:50:41):
person in this race, and it just happens to be
a woman who has the character that we need to
lead us on day one.

Speaker 11 (01:50:47):
And I'm at to get one of these shirts rock on.

Speaker 15 (01:50:49):
The Show's gonna get you one before you leave.

Speaker 4 (01:50:52):
Ye, I ain't even realize he rolled up.

Speaker 15 (01:50:57):
Y'all'm a petty pass to hear.

Speaker 11 (01:50:58):
Y'all you said your pity past. Hold on.

Speaker 9 (01:51:03):
This is Bishop Rowland Martin.

Speaker 36 (01:51:08):
Yesterday, he preached today, acted like he need another job.

Speaker 40 (01:51:16):
I'm good, I'm good.

Speaker 9 (01:51:17):
This only job.

Speaker 28 (01:51:18):
I tell you.

Speaker 11 (01:51:18):
I'm buleg doctor.

Speaker 36 (01:51:23):
I thank God for this, the courage of this sister
right here, because in too many instances our Democrats have
not had a spine. Just talk back and clap back.
This is Jasmine Clockett. Jasmine Crockett, don't.

Speaker 9 (01:51:36):
Mind telling it like it is.

Speaker 36 (01:51:38):
She knows the rules because the metaphor of that infamous
and famous clapback to old Girl in Georgia was the
fact that she was basically said, Okay, so you're gonna
talk bad about me, let me survey the rules because
I do my homework, which is what black women do.
I do my homework, and then, in a real lick

(01:52:01):
Delta Diva fashion, clap back on her. And you ain't
heard a word from that woman's sense. Why because that's
really what it means for me. That for me, Jasmincrockett
showed us that if we have the spine to clap
back at injustice, clap back at racism, white supremacy, toxic masculinity,

(01:52:22):
I'm clapping back at a clown who got hit too
many times in the head, and so he wears a
shirt that disparages a black woman.

Speaker 4 (01:52:31):
His mama's a black woman, and have.

Speaker 36 (01:52:33):
The nerve to wear a shirt like that in support
of someone who does not mind bragging about grabbing women.

Speaker 5 (01:52:41):
By their private parts.

Speaker 9 (01:52:42):
And you got the nerve to wear a shirt like that.

Speaker 36 (01:52:45):
I'm clapping back at you because you've had too many
hits to the head playing football, and maybe you need
to go ahead and get yourself some real therapy and
get yourself for some help to talk about a black
woman like that. So my thing is this election is
our time rolling to clap back against injustice and clap

(01:53:07):
back against the last ten years of political violence and
lying from a pathological liar. And we clapping back not
only an Agent Orange, but up and down the ballot
because Agent Orange is trying to infact people up and
down the ballot.

Speaker 9 (01:53:25):
And I don't want Kamala Harris to.

Speaker 36 (01:53:27):
On January twentieth when she holds up her hand and
Katanji Jackson administers the oath the office on the King Holiday. Listen,
that's Katanji, that's Kamala, and that's King a new KKK.
Because we clapping back against injustice.

Speaker 11 (01:53:52):
War it happens.

Speaker 13 (01:54:00):
And when y'all let a preacher get near a camera,
a great job there, Pastor Freddy Haynes, y'all can already
tell you.

Speaker 10 (01:54:08):
So.

Speaker 13 (01:54:08):
First of all, the polling location here is closed. It
is now after seven o'clock. It is two minutes after.

Speaker 11 (01:54:16):
Of course, the.

Speaker 13 (01:54:17):
Sun is setting, and so it's not it's not jet black,
so doing this, it's not jet black, but the sun
is setting here, it's going down here in Dallas. A
great day here, and so it was great being seeing
so many folks who were here. Yesterday I had an
opportunity Freddie Hen for that ranking chapel at Howard University
doing their homecoming service, and so he asked me to

(01:54:39):
do ten o'clock service. So I appreciate yesterday's sermon. Y'all
could go to our YouTube channel. Keen is actually gonna
restream that tonight, so y'all can check it out. And
so I breached from judges, for I said, from Deborah
to Kamala, God annoying women to leave. So y'all want
to check that out. Let me thank Gavin Julian. I'm

(01:54:59):
a congo been onto the They shall thank us so
very much. Actually, before we go, we have lost folks
in Ancestor, and now let me do this real quick.
One of the Little Rock nine has passed away. Of course,
one of the little right now who integrated a Little
Rock High School in nineteen fifty seven failed.

Speaker 11 (01:55:17):
My mother shed Ware died charity at.

Speaker 13 (01:55:19):
A hospital in Little Rock after to have the complications
with multiple scrosis. She was eighty three years old. We're
on the other students who integrated Central High School. We're
known as a Little Rock nine. For three weeks. In
September nineteen fifty seven, Arkansas Governor Oral Farbus use a
National Guard to block the black students from enrolling in
Central high three years after the US Supreme Court declared

(01:55:39):
segraated classrooms will be unconstitutional. It was President Dwight d
Osenhower who sent members of the Armies wanted their first
airborne division to escort the students into school on September
twenty fifth, nineteen fifty seven. And so fail, my mother
shed Ware is now in ancestor one of the Little
Rock nine.

Speaker 16 (01:55:58):
Folks.

Speaker 13 (01:55:58):
That is it for us in DC tomorrow and of
course in Brooklyn on Wednesday Edward Wallace University. We broadcasted
live on Thursday from Jacksonville. So looking forward to that, folks.
Don't forget you see the sticker here. Yes I did vote,
but please use your power. We are seeing a big turnout.
But again I keep saying, we need maximum turnout for

(01:56:19):
African Americans everywhere across the country. Do not sit at home,
do not sit in your couch. Use your power because
you cannot complain about stuff and then not vote.

Speaker 11 (01:56:29):
It's as simple as that.

Speaker 13 (01:56:31):
And I noticed the people out there had a brother
on Instagram saying, no reparations, no vote.

Speaker 11 (01:56:36):
Let me remind you politicians vote on that.

Speaker 13 (01:56:39):
You need two hundred and eighteen votes in the House,
