Speaker 6 (03:34):
So this Tuesday, April eighty, twenty twenty five, coming up
on roland Mark Unfild, streaming live on the Blackstar Network.
The US Supreme Court is block a federal judges order
that would have required Donald Trump to rehire thousands of
federal employees. This means they may remain without income. They
are saving his ass again. Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is

(03:56):
calling out the same administration that talks about cutting government
costs for spending guess what twenty six million bucks for
Donald Trump to play golf every weekend. You don't want
to miss the crocket chronicles they fired. Former do Jay
attorney testified literally that Donald Trump and MAGA sent US

(04:17):
marshals to her home to try to force her not
to testify before Congress. National Park Service got their asses
lit up over Harriet Tuckan, and now they've reinstated a
photo and they quote of hers to their website, calling
me edits quote unauthorized. Really. Plus, we've talked to a

(04:40):
white Texas state senator who went off on one of
his Republican colleagues, the sponsor of an anti DEI bill,
showing him it's a whole bunch of white men that
got jobs. Plus we'll talk about the latest multimillion dollar
lawsuit against North Carolina. Then HBCUs saying at Gusta's University.

(05:02):
But we'll be having a town hall this weekend. Plus
the racist ex husband of racist college woman Madree Taylor
Green is now apologizing for insulting Muslim women who were
trying to pray. It's time to bring the funk. I'm
rolling back down filtered on the Black stud Network. Let's go.

Speaker 7 (05:22):
Whatever the best, He's do it.

Speaker 8 (05:24):
Whatever it is, he's got the fact defined and Wena
believes he's right on top.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
It is rolling.

Speaker 6 (05:31):
Best believe he's going putting it down.

Speaker 8 (05:34):
Funks Boston News to politics with entertainment.

Speaker 7 (05:38):
Just bookkakes.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
He's going.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Rowing.

Speaker 8 (05:47):
It's rolling, Ta yeah, rolling, he's Punky Sprest. She's real
the question, No, he's rolling.

Speaker 6 (06:12):
Well. The US Supreme Court saved Donald Trump's ass again.
They are pulling back on a decision by a federal
judge forcing them to rehire thousands of federal workers who
were fired. In the seven and two ruling, the court
sided with the Trump administration, allowing it to proceed with
firing these workers, more than sixteen thousand workers, many of

(06:33):
them still in their probationary period, and the workers will
let go. It's part of a sweeping move by the
twice impeached crimeentally convicted fellon in chief, the con man
Donald Trump and his fake Department of Government Deficiency known
as DOGE to downside the federal government aggressively. Justic Sais
Katazi Brown Jackson, and Sonya sort my Or spoke out

(06:54):
against the decision. Just as Jackson said the administration frankly
was being out of the said they had not shown
enough urgency. Who justify pushing this case so quickly to
the Supreme Court? Suggesting that this was more about a
power grab. You think other lawsuits still pending one federal

(07:16):
judge and Maryland has already blocked these firings in nearly
twenty states in the District of Columbia. Now you take
this decision and you also factor in them allowing them
to continue to fly people out of the country who
have not gotten due process. And what shows you is
that the Trump administration they're banking on this right Supreme

(07:38):
Court allowing them to do whatever they want. My pound,
doctor Mastaple for Santiago, Ali, former Senior Advisor for Environmental
Justice the EPA out of DC. A Scott Bolden. He's
an attorney here in d C. Derek Jackson is State
Representative Georgia District sixty eight out of Atlanta. I'm glad
they have all three of you here. I suppose I'll
start with the capital lawyer, Scott Boulders. So Scott, let's

(08:01):
go ahead and deal with the law here. Bottom line
is Donald Trump's whole strategy is, hey, challenge a lawsuit,
go to the Supreme Court. He believes the Supreme Court
is going to let him do whatever he wants. They
don't want to go through the normal process. They want
to fast track everything. And that's what Justice Brown Jackson

(08:21):
was saying. WHA wait a minute, How the hell is
this case all of a sudden to us so quickly?

Speaker 9 (08:29):
Yeah, you know, the Article three courts, the circuits as
well as the filler district courts are saving out democracy
right now. They're doing their jobs, republican or democratically appointed.
The Supreme Court just keeps the key, seems to keep
saving him. But it absolutely makes no sense when you
have lower courts who are saying you simply can't do this,

(08:51):
and so I think you're right about the strategy. Their
strategy is go through the courts as quickly as possible,
avoid the courts as quickly as possible, get this Supreme
Court as soon as possible, and hope that they saved them. Now,
in regard to the Venezuelan gangs that they transported their Salvador,
that they didn't get the relief that they really wanted.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 6 (09:11):
Side the alleged gang members.

Speaker 9 (09:15):
Yeah, many of them are alleged, because at least too
we know certainly aren't gang members.

Speaker 10 (09:20):
But they left open.

Speaker 9 (09:21):
See the Supreme Court gave the ACLU some relief saying
whether they are titled of due process, but it was
silent as that, well, where do we go from here?

Speaker 10 (09:30):
What does that mean going forward?

Speaker 9 (09:31):
But more importantly, what about the alleged gang members that
are in sen Salvador right now or self of a
prison now as.

Speaker 10 (09:39):
And since they didn't get their due right, due process rights.

Speaker 9 (09:42):
Are you going to order the government to fly them
back give them due process rights? They were completely silent,
which means those alleged prisoners or those alleged gang members
stay there for now.

Speaker 10 (09:53):
So again, that's the place of relief.

Speaker 11 (09:56):
That's why elections matter, and that's why the Republicans have.

Speaker 10 (09:59):
Stacked that for this very reason.

Speaker 9 (10:02):
Watch the Republican administration or watch the Trump administration to
take full advantage of it. And that's another dangerous weapon
of THEIRS in regard to whitewashing and destroying our democracy.

Speaker 6 (10:14):
Mustapha heres was utterly insane. You take the case, Sixty
Minutes did a report showing that seventy five percent of
the people they put on planes that flew out of
the country did not even have a criminal record. And
so what critics are suggesting is that these people are
offering no due process. What they are simply doing is
snatching people off the streets, throwing them in detention facilities,

(10:37):
and sending them out of the country. I saw this
one video of a woman in Louisiana who was whining, crying,
and complaining because her father who's been here for forty
five years, who was invited into the country from Cuba.
Guess what they grabbed him, did not care well, guess what,
Go talk to all those Cubans who voted for Donald Trump.
This is exactly what black people and others were warning

(11:00):
that was going to happen, that they were going to
racially profile and just start snatching people up. And we're
seeing this Latinos, Muslims, you name it, and they're just
sending them out of the we'll deal with them later.
And even in the case of Ol Savador, literally fighting
it and trying to ignore the judge's decision while the

(11:21):
plane was in the air by saying, ah international, international waters,
so are you no jurisdiction? That's how that's how illegal
these people are operating.

Speaker 12 (11:32):
Yeah, you know that they continue to not want to
follow the law in any form or fashion unless it
is against them, and then they want the law.

Speaker 13 (11:39):
They want justice to actually be front and center.

Speaker 14 (11:42):
You know.

Speaker 13 (11:43):
Unfortunately, you know, our country is supposed to be founded.

Speaker 12 (11:47):
Due process is supposed to be one of the sort
of hallmark things that helps to set us apart from
dictatorships across the planet.

Speaker 13 (11:55):
But you know, these folks don't seem to want to
follow that for some reason.

Speaker 12 (11:58):
And black folks, you know, as you shared, you know,
we warned them that these types of things could actually
happen because we went through it throughout the history of
this country where they used to just grab brothers off
the street sisters as well and say they were just
vagrants and then lock them up because they wanted free labor.
So we have a history with this, and that's the

(12:20):
reason that we were sounding the alarm. You know, you've
got an administration that is a rogue administration. It is
an administration that feels like that they can do whatever
they want. And when you have, you know, Scott so
aptly laid out, you know, some of the district courts
and some of the others that have been doing the
right thing. But when you know you have a Supreme

(12:40):
Court that seems to not be as concerned about justice,
not so concerned about the Constitution, not so concerned about
every individual's rights, then you have a very precarious situation
going on here where you know, whether you happen to
be Latino, or you happen to be Muslim, or you
happen to be a number of other groups that they don't.

Speaker 10 (13:02):
Seem to value their lives as much.

Speaker 12 (13:05):
Then you know, we've got to continue to fight pushback,
highlight of these injustices that are going forward, and then
make sure that we have politicians and judges moving forward.
When we have the opportunity to have those people in
place that actually want to honor the rule of law.

Speaker 6 (13:21):
You know, Derek, the thing here again, Maga, Donald Trump,
all these right wingers. They're mad and upset that these
federal judges are ruling against them. But they didn't mind
when those federal judges rule against President Joe Biden. Now
they want to change the law to target those federal judges,
including even impeach them. New Gingrid was on Capitol Hill.

(13:43):
We showed the video last week talking about, oh, how
one judge shouldn't have all of this power, and he
was lit up by Congerce and Joe and the Gates
by said I'm sorry, why were you so silent when
it happened under Biden. They are hypocrites. They only want
what's good for them and no one else.

Speaker 15 (14:01):
You know, Roland, Once again, we're sounding the alarm. Right,
we sound the alarm during Project twenty twenty five. We're
sounding the alarm again. The whole essence of Project twenty
twenty five. Now, this Trump administration is to consolidate government.
This is to make sure all the powers rest in
the executive branch. They don't want those safeguards, they don't

(14:23):
want no checks and balances they want to be able
to do as they so will. I mean, think about
you know what we've been talking about so far this evening,
and that is this this whole law that they're using
from seventeen eighty nine, the Alien Enemies Act made sure

(14:45):
that the United States had to be declared in war.
We're not at war, and so we have to look
at what they're really trying to signal, and that is
not just picking up the other One day, they're gonna
start picking up cities black and brown people and taking
them to El Salvador in Cuba and other places. Because

(15:08):
when you start to do that, they're going to really
execute the plan and Project twenty twenty five, which is
as they've already stated, to deport twenty million citizens. The
word immigrations is not in there. It's a twenty million citizens.
So this is just a test run when you start

(15:29):
to kidnap people, because that's what this is, picking them
up and not saying where they're going and then taking
them to another country.

Speaker 10 (15:37):
That's problematic.

Speaker 6 (15:38):
And let me be real clear here, folks and Scott,
I think this is really important. Look, you've got a
lot of black people who are like yo, I'm down
with this sending the ass is back, but there still
is a phrase two words that matter. It's called doing process.
And if you take the position that, oh, send them back,

(16:02):
I don't care, and you completely ignore due process, you
know what that means. They are going to not allow
due process in other areas.

Speaker 10 (16:18):
Yeah, and have before.

Speaker 9 (16:21):
And if you believe this is the third reconstruction that
you often talk about, then we're next on the targeted list.

Speaker 11 (16:27):
I joke with my colleagues about have you got your
camp number yet?

Speaker 10 (16:31):
Because they're coming for us next.

Speaker 9 (16:33):
Because the black and brown immigrants who are here, they've
got a target on their back. Listen to beauty of
due process is everyone's entitled to it, and when you
become a target of a criminal justice system or the
immigration system, you certainly do want due process.

Speaker 11 (16:51):
Now, the only reason this government is doing this.

Speaker 9 (16:54):
Is simply to expedite the deportation, to feed the MAGA applet.

Speaker 11 (17:01):
For eliminating block and brown people.

Speaker 9 (17:05):
In anticipation of twenty forty three, when we become a
country of color, if you will, that's it. This is
purely political and if you listen to the rhetoric, not
only Margaret supporters but the administration and the president, all
they talk about and all they market is what they're
to match their rhetoric.

Speaker 10 (17:25):
That's it.

Speaker 9 (17:26):
It's been to expedite to get rid of the worst
of the worst and the criminals. But you see, you
make mistakes that they have to admit when you don't
give them due process. They're terrified at the lower courts
because even their own lawyers for DOJ who don't have
the information of being fired by the Attorney General for

(17:47):
not quote being prepared in quote zealously advocating for these
illegal programs or this illegal conduct, they're actually being terminated
for not following these orders that are really in legal orders.

Speaker 10 (18:01):
And so people talk.

Speaker 11 (18:02):
About a constitutional crisis Roland.

Speaker 9 (18:05):
We've been in a constitutional crisis in the moment in
January when this new administration was sworn in and stuff,
and the courts are trying to save us.

Speaker 10 (18:16):
But no one else says. Congress is not gonna save us.
The executive branch isn't gonna save us. Which is why
we got two years, sixteen months.

Speaker 9 (18:24):
Right to try to take this couse of representatives back
so we can have a legal mechanism to push back. Sure,
we got to vote and register them and vote up
and down the battle and all the other great stuff
that you talk about. But in the end, it's behind
Corey book are standing there for twenty five hours. We
need real power and the first opportunity to do that

(18:47):
is with this House of Representatives. Last point is the
House Representatives and the congression of vote in two years or.

Speaker 10 (18:54):
Sixteen months is super important because I can.

Speaker 9 (18:57):
Tell you right now, within three years of this operation
that we call an administration, they're going to try to
figure out a way legally or illegally for Trump to
keep the presidency illegally for another four years. That's going
to be the long term challenge, but it's creeping up
on us very fast.

Speaker 6 (19:15):
Yeah, it's about power. And again Mustafa, if you are
allowed not to provide due process in one area, what
these thugs, what these thugs have shown is that they
are then going to begin to apply that in other
areas as well. Look of the Supreme Court, it says

(19:39):
equal justice under law, and we can't even if you're
somebody black watching and listening and you don't so you
believe just sending everybody back, you had better understand due
process because if there's any group of people who have
a history with America not giving them any due process
is black people. Ask every family that has had a

(20:02):
history of lynching.

Speaker 10 (20:04):
Without a doubt.

Speaker 12 (20:05):
I mean, doctor King laid it out for us. He said,
injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. He had
real intentionality in being and sharing those words. Of course,
in the moment, the things that they were dealing with,
they saw every time that they made a positive step.

Speaker 13 (20:20):
Forward, that people pushing back, and they were pushing back.

Speaker 12 (20:23):
In any number of areas, whether it was you know,
around access, or whether it was around housing or number
of other things. You can go down the list of
the things where he knew that we had to hold
the line. So for brothers and sisters out there, I mean,
I get the impacts that are happening in our communities.

Speaker 16 (20:38):
Everybody knows.

Speaker 13 (20:39):
I'd have worked in a whole bunch of them all
over the place.

Speaker 12 (20:41):
But we have to make sure that we are not
allowing the erosion of justice to continue to happen, because
you know, we are next unfortunately in the crosshairs. Some
would say we're already in those crosshairs. And you know,
they said that, you know these people that they're sending
back there. You know, are criminals and those types of things. Well,

(21:02):
they try and criminalize us all the time, and we
understand that that's just the next step in being able
to move us wherever they.

Speaker 10 (21:09):
Might see fit.

Speaker 13 (21:11):
So we need to pay particular attention to what's going on.

Speaker 12 (21:14):
Yes, we have to focus on the issues that are
happening inside of our communities, but we also got to
understand that there is an interconnectedness to what is going on,
and we have to be prepared to also make some
investments in this space to make sure that we are
not the next ones that find ourselves, you know, and
a number of black site locations across the planet.

Speaker 13 (21:35):
And I'll stop there so I don't get in trouble.

Speaker 6 (21:37):
Well, but ain don't getting in trouble. I mean, bottom
line here there when when Whopa talked about.

Speaker 9 (21:43):
Uh, I'm surprised you still on the air. You should
be going underground because you you're coming for you next.
You look like you from Africa or something.

Speaker 6 (21:54):
I'm too I'm too blocked from here. Tell me to
bring the punk asses here, Breene. You got one wawrier
in your corner, Bring a punk asses here. Bring you
as a hashtag bring your ass, Derek bomb. But bottom

(22:15):
line is what we are facing right now, Derek. We
are facing a bunch of scared punks in this country. Okay,
you got punk ass law firms that are buckling, that
are kissing his butt. Republicans, you got Democrats that are buckling.
You got people who are scared to death. Oh my god,
you got all these Silicon Valley folks who got more

(22:37):
money than anybody, who are doing all they can to
kiss his ass. No, this is a moment where people
must stand up to the thug, stand up to the bully,
stand up to the con man, and our legal our
legal warriors must be doing what they are supposed to do,
fighting with using the law. These thugs, Donald Trump thug,

(23:02):
jd Vance thug, Elon Musk thug, Steven Miller thug, all
of them what they Pam Bondi thug, Cash Pateao thug,
Dan Bongino thug. They do not care about the rule
of law, and you do not care about the constitution.
All they care about is doing whatever they want when

(23:24):
they want, and everyone else who disagrees be damned.

Speaker 15 (23:29):
Yeah, you're exactly right, Roland, And I tell you what
they also know that their time span is sure. I mean,
if you think about what just took place over this weekend,
nearly six million people across the United States. I mean,
they had some signs out there. I know here in Atlanta, Roland,
we had thirty thousand folks that March two and a

(23:53):
half miles And if you read some of the signs,
it wasn't saying that we want Trump. I mean, they
had some very egregious words for this bully. And when
you think about what also's happening in the stock market.
I posted today, Hey, last time I checked, DEI didn't

(24:13):
crash the stock market. An LGBTQ transgender that did not
cost for twelve trillion dollars. You had Tim Cook, Johnny Damon,
JP Morgan, all these folks now saying, oh, we didn't
expect this.

Speaker 10 (24:29):
What were they expecting? What were they expecting rolling?

Speaker 15 (24:33):
Everybody that was on the front seat during his inauguration,
what were they expecting for him to do? They just
thought the rain was going to fall on black people.
They just thought that the thunderstorms were going to fall
in our neighborhoods. Twelve trillion dollars rolling has been lost
in the stock market. Now you have four Republicans in

(24:55):
the Senate who voting with Democrats right now saying we
need to put some litleg some legislation and forget all
this litigation stuff. We need legislation. But then the Speaker
of the House roll he says, trust the process. But
this is the same individual who will not go back
to Louisiana and conduct a town hall meeting. These bullies,

(25:17):
these thugs do not want to face the music. And
the music is that those six million people that were
marching this past Saturday. They want that ass point blank
and they don't want to face it.

Speaker 6 (25:32):
But see what has to happen here. What has to
happen here, Mustafa is you have to use everything, everything
at your disposal. This is not let me be real clear,
this is not about only marching, only protesting, only sending letters.

(25:54):
This is about you have to attack these thugs on
a legal front, a oral front. You must attack them
on a grass roots front, on an economic front, on
a political front. This I mentioned this yesterday. Go to
my iPad Senator Richard Blumenthal, Democrat. This person tweeted told

(26:15):
me tonight that he's holding all holding up all Trump
nominees going forward. In the Senate, Bloomenthal sits on four
committees Judiciary, Armed Services, Vet Affairs, and Homeland and oversee
many nominations. Dems building a wide ranging non nomination blockade
in the Senate that Senator Richard Blumenthal, you also have

(26:38):
the same thing. You have a speaker, you have excuse
me of you have Senator Brian Shatz. Same thing here.
This is right here, Sener Brian Shatz blocking more than
three hundred Trump administration nominations by refusing to let them
pass with unanimous consent. I don't think we should make
anything easy going forward. He said, Well, guess what it's about.

(27:01):
It's about damn It's about damn time. And this has
to happen. Mustafa. I think back when you had all
of those military appointments that Senator Tommy Tavervillo held up
because he said the Pentagon, they were allowing reproductive rights
to move forward. And so if you're a Democrat, not
as what you do. Nah, you sit here and you

(27:21):
you you create a blockade, You create a block aid.
You simply say, nah, ain't a damn thing moving, Ain't
nothing moving. Listen, not not mind you. I held out,
but this reminds me of Mustafa. When I was a kid,
we were eating dinner, uh, and I wanted an additional

(27:42):
piece of chicken, and my dad was like, you you're
gonna eat them peas first. Now, first of all, I
hate peas. No, I don't think you understand. I hate
The only thing I probably hate more than peas is
the Dallas Cowboys. But it's a damn close second. I
hate peace. I think peas are nasty. I think peas

(28:02):
are horrible. And I know my dad gonna test me,
because see he loved vegetables. I'm like, I can't stand
them damn peas. So he was like, you ain't get
another piece of chicken unless you finish them peas. I
was like, I guess we're gonna be a sitting here
at this damn table, uh people. And we sat there.
Now you gotta stand I stayed up late. I still
stay up late. I go to bed at three four

(28:23):
five since like in the morning, I still stay up late.
And I was sitting there and I was like, I
know he can't out last me. I said, so man.
We were at that table about two and a half
three hours. Then he got mad. He was like, pack
this shit up and take your ass to bed. He
was hot. I ain't eat some damn peas. See, sometimes
you got to take a stand, uh, and so I

(28:43):
took my stand against them peas. And guess what, ain't
a damn pee in my house and my wife wants
some peas. That's on hurt. So you got to sometime
sometimes say nah, ain't nothing movie. We gonna sit here.
We gonna sit here, wait you out. They should sit
there and say we ain't moving naan nomination for the

(29:06):
next three years, and then force the Republicans. Mustapha, force
the Republicans. They have to go through the laborious task
of putting one one name, one name, one name, And
that's what you do. You sit there, do you allow
you them just gonna see it? No, No, that's what

(29:32):
you're gonna do. Mustafa shut it down.

Speaker 10 (29:36):
I mean, I agree.

Speaker 12 (29:37):
You got to use every tool in the toolbox, everything
that you have the ability to utilize in this moment.

Speaker 10 (29:43):
It does a number of things.

Speaker 12 (29:44):
Yes, it slows the process down, but it also helps
to make the process more authentic because when folks don't
see you fighting back, right, those people who elected you,
who sent you to Capitol Hill, that says something to them.

Speaker 10 (29:56):
It says you don't really have a spine. Either you
don't have a spine or do you don't have and the.

Speaker 12 (30:00):
Intelligence that's necessary to be able to navigate the moment
that you find yourself in. So I have a problem
because one, if you don't have a spine, I don't
need you to be there. And if you don't have
the intelligence to be able to navigate, I don't need
you to be there. So you've got to do something
in this moment to make sure that people know that
you're serious about defending their rights, about trying to make

(30:21):
sure that this country is more equitable, and to be
able to push back against the injustice that continues to
happen both from the administration and from the co signing
that continues to happen on Capitol Hill. So you have
the opportunity to make sure that you're doing something and people.

Speaker 13 (30:38):
Will appreciate that.

Speaker 12 (30:40):
They understand that there's limited amounts of power, but if
you build up those small pieces, then it has significance.

Speaker 10 (30:47):
So you know, I always just say get up off
your butt and do something.

Speaker 16 (30:51):
And my daddy was no joke.

Speaker 10 (30:53):
My dad would be like, if there is a problem.
You better come.

Speaker 12 (30:56):
Forward with some solutions before you sit down and have
a compation with me about it. So you know people everyday,
people are willing to stand up. You know, the Brothers
share these different examples that are there. I'm big on
the economics because I believe one of the ways you
get these people's attention, and we've saw it over the
last few days with the stock market is to actually

(31:17):
be utilizing ways of hitting folks in the pocket. But
there are a number of other tools me coming from
the grassroots movement. I understand the power you know that's
there and protesting in various forms as long as it's nonviolent,
let me say that. But you know, we've got this
moment and we need to utilize it in a way
that people know we're serious, that we're standing up for them,

(31:38):
or we're standing actually in alignment and solidarity with them,
and that folks are going to do what they can.

Speaker 6 (31:44):
Look, I told you my day, gonna send me a
text piece of good for you, Scott. Hell no, you
got to swing, Doc. Here's the deal. If you have,
if you have, if you have limited power, then you
must maximize your limited power. Limited power don't mean no power.

Speaker 17 (32:06):
Bro.

Speaker 9 (32:07):
But wait a minute, God, be honest with your listening audience. Now, Bro,
this guys, he didn't eat the peas, right. But what
you all don't know is I met his mama and daddy.
His mama when he was growing up, would fix him
a separate key, you damn skippy hate for the family,
and a cake for him because she was so freaking spoiled.

Speaker 6 (32:26):
No, no, no, he's saying it. Said no, no, no, Scott,
see Scott, Scott, See Scott, here's your problem right here.
See first of all, Scott, No, Scott, Scott, you're not
smart enough to negotiate. See Scott. Here's what you don't understand,
see Scott. Right here, See here's the problem, Scott.

Speaker 3 (32:43):
See.

Speaker 6 (32:43):
People just just tell you we're gonna do something for you,
and see you fall in line. I don't fall in line,
my brother, see Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, you see you
think you're a brilliant lawyer. But let me explain. But
but let me explain to you how you was smart
your opponent. My brother's birthday is November thirteenth. My birthday

(33:06):
is November fourteenth. My mama was like, I'm gonna do
a joint cake. What hell, I didn't want the same
damn cake he wanted. Okay, so I simply said, you
know what, I want a cake with no icy. Well
guess what then happened? My brother wanted icy? What ended
up happened? She had to make two cakes? See what

(33:28):
she said? No, no, no, no, no, that's no no no.
That's where it started. See, you had to out you
got the out smart. You got to learn how to
out smart people. Scott. So I saw the loophole. I
was like, I don't want no icing had to make
a separate cake. See see you ain't see, Scott, you

(33:49):
would have never thought of that, Scott, Scott, you would
have never thought of that. You would have went ahead.

Speaker 3 (33:54):
Win.

Speaker 6 (33:54):
Yeah, you know what, You're right. It's easy to have
one cake. Hell Nord, we ain't gonna have one cake,
two cakes.

Speaker 9 (34:01):
He was so selfish that he made his own mama
cook a second cake.

Speaker 10 (34:05):
Now the birthday is a one day apart.

Speaker 6 (34:07):
Guess what about what type of son is if you
had two damn found if you had two damn kids
and two damn his, it's gonna be two damn cakes.

Speaker 9 (34:17):
And she admitted this to me in person. She said, yes,
I had to make him a separate cake. Scot, I said,
but why, she said, Well, he is my son and
I love him, I said, And you know why I
pay firsus saying.

Speaker 6 (34:32):
No, And you know why. You know why I pay
it off because Mama right now is living in my
house that I paid off. And guess what, Mama and
Daddy have a great ass life. So Daddy lacked good
job making that second damn cake, he said, I say,
it wasn't. See if you take care, if you take
care of stuff on the front end, you're gonna take

(34:53):
care of you on the back end. See I told you,
See Scott, you ain't that right. God ahead, make your
little point and you would try to make on a
topic at hand before you chose to divert the damn
shows Gate comment.

Speaker 10 (35:06):
Watch this What was your question again?

Speaker 1 (35:09):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (35:10):
See my whole question is when you have limited power,
say you don't even remember when you have limited power,
you are to maximize your limited power and don't act
like you don't have any power.

Speaker 9 (35:24):
Yeah, no, no, no, I agree and to the Democrats
are wow to start implementing that. But you have to
use all the tools, and the tool can as mustap
for sin and then eventually And the thing is, it
also puts the Republicans in a trip box, right, because
they've done the same thing to the Democrats, and the Democrats.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
Now are going to do it to them.

Speaker 9 (35:45):
And they complain all that one all you have to
do is run the videotape or run the legislation back
and say you did the same thing.

Speaker 10 (35:52):
So shut up, be quiet, and know on certain terms.

Speaker 18 (35:55):
Right.

Speaker 9 (35:55):
But see if Democrats got to get away from wanting
to be the right and the morally correct ones that
be above the fraid, you're dealing with some political thugs,
some Republican gangsterism, and you got to get down with
the gangsters, which means you got to get on the
ground and get out, and you cannot be afraid to do.

Speaker 10 (36:13):
The same thing.

Speaker 9 (36:14):
And the hell with what the press says or what
your moral value say, because you for moral values to
be relevant probitive material, you have to be dealing with
an opponent.

Speaker 10 (36:25):
That has moral values, right, then you can beat them
at that game.

Speaker 9 (36:29):
But these people, these Republicans, aren't practicing moral values, right,
They're practicing political gangsterism. And so you got to be
a gangster too, calling all Democratic gangsters come to the
front because we need you at the door.

Speaker 6 (36:42):
Hey, I gotta pull up an article I run on
seeing the long time ago said Democrats got to learn
to be gangsters.

Speaker 19 (36:49):
Dereck.

Speaker 6 (36:49):
And I'm gonna tell you right now. I'm gonna go
ahead and go on record. I did this months ago.
I'm gonna say it right now. Whoever runs for the
Democratic nomination for president in twenty twenty eight, I'm about
to give y'all some unsolicited advice right now. Matter of fact,
put the camera on me, by my damn self. Let
me say this again. Let me say this again. Here's

(37:09):
my advice for every Democratic candidate who's running in twenty
twenty eight for president. When the press asks you, are
you going to release your college transcripts? Hey na? Press
ask you, are you going to put your money into
a trust? Hell no? When they ask you, are you

(37:30):
going to release your health records? Heyll no. When they
ask are you going to add any family members to
the administration, you should say hell yeah. If they say
if they say, well, you know, we think you're spending
too much time going to your beach house or playing golf,

(37:52):
the response would be kiss my ass. Here's the whole deal.
It's abundantly clear. And then if any if any Democrats,
if any Republicans start talking, you'd say, shut the hell up.
And then if any Democrats start talking, you say, y'all
kiss my ass too, because see, here's the fundamental problem. Democrats.

(38:17):
Y'all sit here, and y'all try to take the high
more ground, and we gonna do it a certain way
while the Republicans are in the gutter. And so it's
all bets off. Bottom line is the voters that made
it clear. Oh, we can elect you if you're a
sexual assault, we can elect you. If you cheat on

(38:37):
your taxes, well elect you. If you don't pay your
damn bills. We can elect you if you lie. And
my all deal is like, so, now, don't come to
me thinking I'm gonna sit here and do all the
right things now, all y'all, No damn that that should
be the attitude, because this is about straight going gangster. Hey,
and guess what says y'all didn't say nothing? Would that

(38:58):
dog who you allowed back in the oval office, Well,
then don't be asking me to turn turn in all
my stuff and turn in all my records. Now I
ain't turn in a damn thing. I approved this message.

Speaker 10 (39:16):
Really, you know that ain't gonna happen. Come on, brother,
you already you've been in this political game. Faro.

Speaker 6 (39:24):
No, I'm telling everybody. I'm telling everybody. No, I'm telling
right now, I'm telling and see, don't even I'm telling
you stop even stop even being nice. He a debate?
Do we will you commit on this stage that if you,
if you don't win the nomination, you gonna endorse all
the other candidates. Nope, we'll see. No, I ain't even

(39:50):
because again, it's clear that America has decided that the
rule that it used to demand or call for folks abide.

Speaker 4 (40:00):
Bye.

Speaker 6 (40:01):
They've decided that no, it's good for Donald Trump. So
it's like, y'all, wait, I'm telling you all this, Oh man,
let me sit here, let me think it through.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
Now.

Speaker 6 (40:10):
Hell no, we ain't doing none of that. We ain't
doing none of that. And the answer should be I'm
telling you right now, listen, I go ahead and volunteer,
because first of all, it was a Republican president, especially
the one not I'm gonna cust them out there. In
the past, you had some Republicans, you know, I probably see,
you know what I could work for that reasonable person.
They crazy as hell now, But I'm telling you right now,

(40:31):
I'll volunteer to either be the press secretary or the
translating press secretary. You need to have somebody. I'm telling you.
Enough rules are over. Hey, ask a dumb ass question.
Ask a dumb ass question next. No, we ain't even see.

(40:51):
I'm telling you I don't have no patience for none
of this anymore. Dereck, I got no patience for any
of it. I'm telling you right now. Out Democrats start
playing by the new rules. That's how y'all want to roll,
got it, That's how we're gonna roll.

Speaker 10 (41:11):
Listen, Rolan, I mean, you know me, I agree and
second that motion.

Speaker 15 (41:18):
But in a large part, you're gonna have political consultants
like James Carville and them. They're gonna say, when they
go low, they gotta say. You remember what Michelle Obama said,
when they go low, you go high.

Speaker 6 (41:30):
Yours posits. She ain't running.

Speaker 10 (41:33):
We have to meet them where they are right now.

Speaker 15 (41:37):
That's the reason why when when when Barack Obama had
an opportunity to put another Supreme Court justice, what happened?
They were playing two nights and Miss McConnell delivered against
that behind right. And so the bottom line is, I agree.

(41:58):
The challenge is and the Democratic Party, the party that
I am in, can we get to the point where
we're willing to fight a new political arena? Can we
put the things aside where were used to? Roland always,
we gotta win Wisconsin, we gotta win Pennsylvania. No, how

(42:18):
about Putt Spencer money with Roland Martin Shaw to make
sure that we can.

Speaker 10 (42:23):
Get the word out.

Speaker 15 (42:24):
How about going campaign hard in Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, North Carolina,
South Carolina. Go against the norms. That's what you're talking about.
Go against the norms and the traditions, because we already
know Roland by doing the opposite, we haven't won. So
we gotta do something new. And part of doing something

(42:46):
new is the whole Republican say no, you can't tell
me if I have something in the closet. When you
are elected a person with thirty four felonies, six bankruptcies
and got three baby mamas.

Speaker 5 (42:59):
Come on.

Speaker 10 (43:00):
So I agree, but you know the Democratic Party ain't
gonna do that.

Speaker 6 (43:04):
Rolling like I said, you bet you better roll a
different way. I'm telling you right now, I don't give
a damn all right, let me go to a break.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
We come back, y'all.

Speaker 6 (43:14):

Speaker 20 (45:21):
Next Get Wealthy with Me, Deborah Owens, America's wealth coach.
I'm sure you've heard that saying that the only thing
guaranteed is depth and taxes. The truth is that the
wealthy get wealthier by understanding tax strategy.

Speaker 16 (45:39):
And that's exactly the conversation.

Speaker 20 (45:41):
That we're going to have on the next Get Wealthy,
where you're going to learn wealth hacks.

Speaker 16 (45:47):
That hope you turned your wages into wealth taxes is
one of the largest extents that you've ever have. You

get that under control so that.

Speaker 20 (45:59):
You can do that's right here on Get Wealthy only

Speaker 15 (46:06):
Now that Roland Martin is ruling to give me the blueprint,
Pasty Rise, I need to go to Tyler Ferr and

Speaker 6 (46:13):
Because I need some green money.

Speaker 3 (46:15):
The only way I can do what I'm doing.

Speaker 10 (46:17):
I need to make your money.

Speaker 6 (46:18):
So you'll see me working with Roland. Matter of fact,
it's a Roland Martin and shewlandon show.

Speaker 10 (46:22):
What should it be?

Speaker 21 (46:22):
The show, show show?

Speaker 6 (46:24):
Well, whatever show it's gonna.

Speaker 16 (46:25):
Be, it's gonna be good.

Speaker 6 (46:44):
Now I'm gonna need y'all in a control room. Pay attention.
Did I not say what was coming up next? I
said the Texas State Center was coming up next? Now
comes one Jasmine Crockett. So I need you'all to focus
in the control room.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
Okay, all right.

Speaker 6 (46:57):
So here's what I'm sick and tired of. I'm sick
of tight of all these white conservatives, these white Republicans
standing up yelling DEI, how they against DEI when they
a bunch of liars and won't even admit to the
reality of who DEI actually is helping. Now, listen, we
look at contracts and other programs like that. The reality is, yes,

(47:20):
is it helping a few black folks, a few Latinos
and others, but overwhelming the folk who are getting hooked
up with DEI or white women. But when you talk
about why do you even have DEI in the first place,
it's because you largely have white men who wouldn't do
right and actually pick folk by merit. They were just
keep picking the same folks who look like them, who

(47:41):
go to the country club, who play golf and play tennis,
and the same thing. Well, a Texas State senator, they
were debating this bill on the floor, and they've been
debating this a while. When I was in Austin a
few weeks ago being honored as an, I was standing
Texan by the Texas originated the Black Caucus. I popped
in and they were having a discussion on the floor. Well,
here they were having this discussion, and thank god, finally

(48:02):
you had somebody who looked a white Republican in his
eye and said what needed to be said. Roll it.

Speaker 17 (48:11):
You don't believe there should be forty percent Latinos in
executive director positions instead.

Speaker 16 (48:16):
Of two percent, not even two percent, just two.

Speaker 19 (48:21):
I believe we should be making these decisions based on merit,
not based on the color of our skin, or our
sex or ethnicity.

Speaker 16 (48:28):
I'm really horrible at math. That's why I went on
to law school members.

Speaker 17 (48:31):
Two Latino executive directors, that's got to be less than
That's like a one and a half percent of these
one hundred and thirty five officers, and we're forty percent
of the population. You don't think that my folks are
qualified enough to do the same job as their white counterparts.

Speaker 6 (48:52):
Sentia, I don't know where you're getting that.

Speaker 19 (48:55):
This bill says we should treat everyone the same, regardless
of they're, regardless of their sex, regardless of their ethnicity.

Speaker 17 (49:04):
But we don't are We we're not treating everybody the same.
One hundred and twenty white guys have the job, where
white women.

Speaker 10 (49:11):
Don't have the job.

Speaker 17 (49:13):
Black men and black women don't have the job, Brown
women don't have the job. Somebody decided in this building
and the powers that be these commissions that these white
men were the way we wanted to go, and that's
not racism to.

Speaker 19 (49:29):
You, censor. I don't want to move backwards. I want
to move forwards. I want to move toward that society
where we're not decided based on race, or sex or ethnicity.

Speaker 16 (49:40):
Okay, well, what.

Speaker 17 (49:41):
About a quota system right now today where we had
a merit based quota system where he said we're going
to do you on merit. What if Senator Miles puts
up an amendment that says, is it going to be
merit based. I think we're going to see an amendment
like that from someone in this room today.

Speaker 22 (49:58):
And what if there was an amendment to the amendment
that says, okay, well, let's have a quota so that
these agencies could be represented by people of color, qualified
people of color to the percentage of the population in
this state.

Speaker 6 (50:11):
What's wrong with that?

Speaker 19 (50:12):
Century the most qualified person for the job, regardless of
their race, regardless of their sex, without regard to their ethnicity.

Speaker 6 (50:20):
That's who we want.

Speaker 19 (50:21):
That's who the people of Texas need to be able.

Speaker 21 (50:23):
To hire, as long as white men are doing the hiring.

Speaker 6 (50:29):
See, thank you. I'm glad somebody non black called it
like it is because every time we have one of
these debates, I'm just gonna be real clear, y'all, because
this is my I remember when Senator Chris Murphy and
other Democrats, they all stand around, dancing around, they sitting
here trying to no, let's not use the word diversity,

(50:52):
let's not use inclusion. Let's not use this here. Man,
call this thing what it is. These folks want to
deny what's in our faces because the reality is they
really believe that when they see somebody black, they see
somebody who's Latino, they see somebody who's Asian. If they

(51:13):
see even a white woman. In their minds, if you
are not a white man, then you did not get
the job.

Speaker 18 (51:21):
Y'all.

Speaker 6 (51:22):
Notice they never call a white man the DEI high
matter of fact, do this here, y'all, get this cute
up control room I was supposed to do to yesterday.
I'm gonna show y'all a grossly unqualified white man who
Donald Trump opponted to a job, and the questions he
was asked was stunning, and not one Republican in Congress

(51:46):
said why is this man even opponted? Joining us? Right
now is Texas State Senator of Roland Gudierrera is glad
to have you here. Senator, I mean, first of all,
thank you, thank he for just putting it out there.
That man sat there and was like, there are you
getting these one hundred and twenty white man from completely
acting like they didn't exist. Well, let me focus on

(52:09):
the little spec of color.

Speaker 16 (52:12):
Now, that's right, I mean, Roland, thank you for having
me on. Listen.

Speaker 23 (52:15):
We've been dealing with this bullshit in Texas for years
and it never stops.

Speaker 24 (52:21):
Session after session we hear more and more of their
crazy racist bills.

Speaker 23 (52:27):
And yet we don't ever.

Speaker 24 (52:28):
Go out and fix the real things that are helping
that are hurting people in our communities of color. We
don't early child hair care development, I mean hunger. Hunger
is an issue still in this state. I mean, shit,
we got four hundred and fifty kids with measles in
this state. Housing issues, you name it, healthcare, all of
it are those are the real problems that are affecting us.

Speaker 17 (52:50):
And yet these guys want to tell us that they
want to take it back to a world I guess
to the nineteen fifties.

Speaker 16 (52:58):
I guess that's where they want us to be.

Speaker 24 (53:00):
And they claim that they want to get to a
space in Texas where we're colorblind.

Speaker 16 (53:06):
Well, we haven't gotten there yet, right, I mean.

Speaker 6 (53:10):
Can they please? I really would appreciate if one of
these white Republicans can pinpoint me the exact day, time,
and month when we hired in America and it was
all equal, color blind, merit base by all means, can

(53:34):
you show me when that actually happened? I dare say
that since the Civil Rights Act of sixty five, since
the Voting Rights Act sixty four, Civil Rights Act sixty
five Voting Rights Act, sixty day Fairhousing Act. I dare say,
since we have those bills, we are more merit based

(53:56):
than we ever have been, because before you hit damn, sure,
wasn't the case.

Speaker 16 (54:02):
No, I mean, that's right.

Speaker 24 (54:03):
And if we and I know when you say quotas,
people get a little bit offended about that and they think, well,
we're not there.

Speaker 16 (54:09):
We've never had quotas to begin with. But if we're.

Speaker 24 (54:12):
Truly in a color blind society where we want to
say that it's merit based, Listen, there's a lot of
black young men and young women, Hispanic young men and
young women that can do the work just as well
as their white counterparts. Then let's have forty percent in
that building be Latino. Let's have thirteen percent be African American.

Speaker 16 (54:30):
But that's not the case.

Speaker 24 (54:32):
Two African American men are executive directors, two Latino men.
Ten women out of the one hundred and thirty five
executive agencies in the state of tas.

Speaker 6 (54:41):
Ten white women, ten white women, right, ten white women.
That's right, there, you go, that's right.

Speaker 24 (54:45):
So let's be clear out of four people of color,
four people of color out of those positions.

Speaker 23 (54:52):
When we are a majority minority state.

Speaker 6 (54:56):
Sixty one percent of Texas are people of color.

Speaker 16 (55:01):
That's right, sixty are people of color.

Speaker 24 (55:04):
And these guys want to tell us that we live
in a color blind world or they want to get us.

Speaker 16 (55:09):
To a color blind world.

Speaker 10 (55:10):
Help.

Speaker 16 (55:10):
In that room that I was in, there's about eight
Confederates on the wall.

Speaker 6 (55:16):
Boom.

Speaker 16 (55:16):
I don't we move on with you know, Roberty Lee
on the wall or somebody looks like it.

Speaker 6 (55:21):
Well, I was just when I was there, I did
a whole video where I live streamed it. That big
old Confederate memorial that's sitting right there on the lawn
and you know, luckily cross across the lawn. They finally
had a moral point for African Americans, but that massive monument.
See this is the thing that and see what grates
on me when these conversations are held, is that Democrats

(55:46):
want to shy away from it. What you did is
you put it in face now. Now the only thing
this is the only criticism I have, Senator, those only
criticism I have. And trust me, I know why. I
know it happens naturally and not this happened for years.
What happens is when we have these conversations, we often
use the word use the qualify or qualified. See, they

(56:09):
only use that word when it applies to us, but
when it comes to any of them getting hired, they
never used the word qualified. So I start from the
position that if you are considered for the job, that
you are quality, and you got hired, you are qualified.
So I don't even use it. I don't even say, hey,
we're looking for qualified. Well that's just automatic. We of
course were looking for qualified, but they never do that.

(56:30):
They automatically assume if they got the job, they white,
they qualified. We don't even question they resume. And I'm
still ticked off with that black woman who was crying
over the water of the We showed it on the video,
and she was crying because of another black legislature came
to her defense. But you had that white Republican Harrison

(56:54):
who literally was questioning this woman on DEI and she
had to sit there and recount how many degrees that
she has and what school she went to. And I'm
just I'm sorry, I just can't. I just can't accept
anymore us having to show our credentials to prove our
worthiness when they can just show up.

Speaker 10 (57:17):
Now, I mean, I'm with you.

Speaker 24 (57:19):
We are equally as qualified as any of our white counterparts.
My parents were immigrants to this country, and yet here
I stand in the Texas Senate, a lawyer, just as
qualified as.

Speaker 10 (57:34):
A guy I was debating that day.

Speaker 16 (57:37):
And yet you know, the jobs that are going the
big jobs in this state are going to white men.

Speaker 23 (57:44):
Let's let's face it, because they knew somebody.

Speaker 16 (57:46):
They knew a guy I had no boom qualifications.

Speaker 6 (57:49):
Call it what it is, and that's and that's the deal.
They knew somebody. And see, I've always I just I
just believe that you just got to call that thing
a thing. It has to be when what you did?

Speaker 1 (58:02):
You like?

Speaker 6 (58:02):
So, Babis, are you trying to explain to me in
a state this diverse, one hundred and twenty white guys,
you're trying to tell me that out of the whole state,
only four because you said two Latino men, two black men, right.

Speaker 10 (58:17):
That's right.

Speaker 6 (58:18):
So that means that for all these jobs, that wasn't
one black woman, wasn't one Latino woman who was eligible.
So you had two Latino dudes, two black dudes, ten
white women. That's fourteen out of the whole state. And
part of the thing about DEI is forcing you to

(58:41):
recruit at different places, to solicit different input, to post
a job different places. That's all DEI is. It is
to expand your horizon. They want to keep it white
tight and right.

Speaker 10 (58:56):
Well, the very argument that they have is that d
This is what.

Speaker 24 (59:00):
Brian Hughes said, that just having these types of diversity,
equity inclusion programs, that just the mere mentioning of them
leads us to be racist. It's the most nonsensical thing
you've ever heard, because we're nowhere near any kind of
color blind society, not in this state, not in Texas.

Speaker 16 (59:23):
Just their argument, it's so flawed, and we have to
push back.

Speaker 24 (59:28):
We as minorities, as Latinos, as African Americans, we've got
to push back against what's happening in this state because
we deserve better, and you know, we've been fighting for
people for a long time.

Speaker 16 (59:41):
We're going to continue to do so.

Speaker 6 (59:42):
So I had a black state official for South Carolina
who stood up, had him on the show the other day,
JAA Moore, and I asked him this question. I said,
I said, well, Rep, I got to ask you what
the white women did they say anything? He's like, no,
So they're in Texas. Are white male Democrats? Are they

(01:00:07):
as aggressive in this as you are? I know what Senata,
I saw Senata Boris Miles, my frat brother, when he
spoke under that day when I was there, a white
female Democrats saying something because here is the other issue
that bothers me, first thing that bothers me anytime we
talk about these programs. Historically black folks was the one
sitting here leading the charge. And I've channel Latino saying yo,

(01:00:29):
I'm gonna need you to step up. So then you
have black and Latino stepping up. My problem a lot
of times is Asian Americans are real quiet Pakistani Americans
people who actually benefit from programs acquired, but white women
benefit more. You already gave the numbers ten of them,
two Latino men, two black men. Are white women Democrats?

(01:00:52):
Are they being as vigorous in speaking out against this
bill as you are at Senata Boris Miles center roys West.

Speaker 16 (01:01:02):
Well, you know they're doing their part.

Speaker 10 (01:01:06):
But to your point, we call.

Speaker 6 (01:01:07):
Up Centata Stana Santa. Now you now look, you a
straight shooter and you call them straight. Let's just let's
let's get if we don't do it, then let's go
ahead and go there. Well, the white are the white
female democrats doing enough?

Speaker 24 (01:01:20):
We can always do better, We can always do better.
And I'll tell you this is what's happening right now
in Texas. We literally need to get black people and
brown people on the same page.

Speaker 10 (01:01:35):
And that might sound to you, but we're in this
thing together, yep.

Speaker 24 (01:01:42):
And we've got to fight back against the injustices in Texas.
And to your point, white women, we are getting killed
in this state on everything, yep, on everything.

Speaker 23 (01:01:55):
They are taking our civil liberties away in this state.

Speaker 24 (01:02:00):
They are attacking Hispanic communities like you cannot believe.

Speaker 23 (01:02:05):
You have a guy that this governor, this white governor.

Speaker 16 (01:02:09):
Let let a guy out of prison, pardoned him.

Speaker 10 (01:02:12):
The guy killed a man.

Speaker 16 (01:02:14):
Who was a Black Lives Matter protester.

Speaker 10 (01:02:17):
He shot him with his ar fifteen.

Speaker 24 (01:02:19):
We talked about it, point blank. And the sixth son
of a bitch governor that we have pardons, the man
releases them for prison after four years.

Speaker 16 (01:02:30):
If you and me would have shot somebody, we'd be
the living. We'd be on death row right now. Let's
face up. So the white dude kills a Black Lives.

Speaker 6 (01:02:39):
Matter a racist white dude.

Speaker 16 (01:02:42):
A racist white dudy who killed a white guy. He
gets pardoned. And so African Americans in.

Speaker 25 (01:02:50):
The state and Latinos in this state, they could run
this state if they got together, and so chose to
do so, and so chose to against these injustices in
this state.

Speaker 16 (01:03:02):
I don't know how to wake people up. That's my
that's my fault. Well, I don't anger people enough.

Speaker 14 (01:03:12):
You know.

Speaker 24 (01:03:12):
You know that what happened to me in your vality
Texas happened to those families.

Speaker 6 (01:03:18):
Yep.

Speaker 24 (01:03:19):
It was a wake up call for me because it
changed my whole worldview. I changed my whole worldview for
life and what my purpose was.

Speaker 23 (01:03:29):
But we got to wake up Roland because these people
are killing us.

Speaker 16 (01:03:33):
And that's not hyperbole.

Speaker 6 (01:03:35):
Oh listen.

Speaker 1 (01:03:36):
I am.

Speaker 6 (01:03:36):
I'm a native of Houston. My parents are natives of Houston.
My parents, my grandparents, maternal grandparents migrated from Louisiana to
Houston in the thirties. My paternal folks are from Texas
routes going to East Texas.

Speaker 17 (01:03:53):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (01:03:53):
And so although I although I work here, my homestead
is still there in southern Dallas County. I go home
to vote Congsswoman Jasmine Crockett. I'm a constituent of hers.
And here's the thing. I was there in the Houston
working at the Houston Defender as an intern in nineteen
ninety when you had African American Latinos who were fighting

(01:04:15):
over who is going to be the police chief, and
then I've seen the fire chief battles. I was there
in Dallas when they were battling over the school district.
One of the reasons why the Texas Education Agency took
over the Houston Independent School District because Latinos on the Houston,
on the Houston School Board were trying to freeze out
black folks. That in fighting led to the TEA takeover.

(01:04:37):
Right now, the largest school district in a country taken
over by the state. And so you're absolutely right. But
I think two things have to happen. I think there
has to be and this is just somebody from the outside.
I think there has to be an internal Latino conversation
because and I've got Paola Ramos a bunch of other books.
John Legozamo has talked about this. Here you have some

(01:04:58):
Latinos who identify as white and who don't identify as brown,
who about assimilation. So you've got to have that internal
conversation and then then the two for conversations. I believe
there needs to be real town halls around the state
and I will be happy to come back, moderate them,

(01:05:19):
broadcast them, do whatever. Well, we got to put black
folks and Latinos in the room together and say, yo,
the numbers are there if we actually align. But trust me,
we ain't in power if we are sitting here fighting
one another. And why Maga Republicans in Texas, Greg Abbot,

(01:05:41):
Dan Patrick are destroying the future for our nieces and
nephews and our children, and it's going to be a
screwed up future if we do not align.

Speaker 24 (01:05:52):
No, that's right, And I'll give you a third point
about the Latino conversation. We have a lot of young
men that are switching to the other side to go
for this Maga agenda. I would hope that by now
what people are seeing with this man is that they're
seeing that they were wrong first off, and it's okay,

(01:06:12):
you can come back into the fold.

Speaker 23 (01:06:14):
We certainly need you because.

Speaker 16 (01:06:17):
So that's an internal Latino conversation.

Speaker 24 (01:06:19):
But I think that the bigger the bigger point here
is those same executive position jobs.

Speaker 16 (01:06:26):
Just imagine, imagine if you had people of color running
this state.

Speaker 6 (01:06:31):
Six figure, six figure jobs. That changes families in lineage.
Now you're talking about power. Now you're talking about going
from those positions running for higher office. It changes the
entire ballgame. And that's why I'm fighting all these federal
these federal firings. Because twenty percent of the federal government black,

(01:06:52):
ten percent of the corporate workforce white. We couldn't get
corporate jobs. So we looked at the federal government. When
they slash the federal jobs, you are slashing black wealth
because thus that's the place where you have more black
people with six figure salaries. And so this thing is
way deeper than folks getting So listen, I'm gonna have

(01:07:13):
my producers getting my cell phone. I was talking to
Represented tul Rico. I'm totally opposed to that voucher scam.
I'm a school choice supporter, but that's an absolute scam.
It's happening there. But thank you for speaking directly to
these white Republicans and putting the numbers on the table
to force them to have to face it. Because he
looked like a deer in headlights when you hit him

(01:07:35):
with those numbers, and he was just blah blah blah.
He ain't know what to say.

Speaker 24 (01:07:39):
Roland, thank you very much. I appreciate what you've done,
not just for this state, but for this country. We've
got to keep fighting back. We got to keep fighting
back together, and we've got to wake some people up
and get him to vote, because that's how that's our
ar fifty, that's our gun is that vote, and we
can change the world if we can give people to
do that in the right way.

Speaker 6 (01:07:57):
Two point one million eligib Latinos in Texas unregistered, and
Texas has the largest number of eligible black voters of
any state in America. But what I keep saying, we
got to get them registered and then we got to
get them voting at seventy percent capacity in order to win.
So a Senator, I appreciate it. Thanks a lot. Thank you,
my friend, y'all, I told you all about this clip.

(01:08:19):
I was going to play. Man I saw this. No, no,
we all knew this. We all knew this here, okay,
but man, I saw this video, and I'm trying to
figure out how even one Republican didn't go Dan, we
don't need to vote for this dude here, if y'all
want to see somebody who's grossly unqualified, roll it.

Speaker 21 (01:08:41):
Mister Donahue.

Speaker 26 (01:08:42):
What is the maximum number of lawyers that you have
supervised in your experience as an associate in.

Speaker 21 (01:08:50):
A law firm?

Speaker 27 (01:08:53):
Thank you for your question, Senator. It varies, but it
was typically anywhere from six usually eight up to ten
with summer associates as well all lawyers. Not all lawyers
including summer associates.

Speaker 26 (01:09:08):
Okay, what was the maximum number of lawyers you supervised
in your job at the solar company?

Speaker 14 (01:09:19):
None, Senator, not of the solar company.

Speaker 26 (01:09:20):
In your works in the as an associate in the
Buffalo law firm, did you hold yourself out as an
environmental attorney?

Speaker 14 (01:09:30):
As an environmental lawyer?

Speaker 21 (01:09:31):
I did?

Speaker 26 (01:09:34):
You spent one year and six months practicing law for
that firm in Buffalo?

Speaker 21 (01:09:39):
Correct?

Speaker 14 (01:09:40):
I was located in that firm of Buffalo Centaer.

Speaker 26 (01:09:42):
Yeah, and you were terminated by that firm after one
year and six months.

Speaker 27 (01:09:47):
That is correct, Senator, If you may, if I may
just add some color to that.

Speaker 26 (01:09:52):
Well, I have pretty short time so we can follow
up with qfrs, because I promise you there'll be qfrs
on this Have you practiced law anywhere else other than
that as an associate in the firm that terminated you
and in the solar company where you supervised no lawyers.

Speaker 14 (01:10:07):
Senator, I have non.

Speaker 26 (01:10:13):
Apart from your associate experience in Buffalo and the solar company,
have you practiced law in any other place?

Speaker 27 (01:10:24):
I'm not, Senator, but I was at the agency before
in the first Trump administration, not in the legal position.

Speaker 14 (01:10:30):
That's correct, Senator.

Speaker 21 (01:10:31):
Have you ever taken a deposition?

Speaker 14 (01:10:33):
I have, non, Senator. This is probably the closest I
have ever come to that.

Speaker 21 (01:10:37):
Have you ever tried a case to verdict?

Speaker 14 (01:10:39):
No, Senator.

Speaker 27 (01:10:41):
In the firm and at the solar company, we relied on.
In the solar company, we relied on outside council.

Speaker 26 (01:10:48):
So you were providing inside advice at the Solar Council
rather than active litigation work.

Speaker 14 (01:10:53):
It was an in house council world.

Speaker 27 (01:10:54):
Yes, but yeah, have you ever argue to motion? I have, non, Senator,
But as you know what a motion and leimony is,
I do vaguely.

Speaker 3 (01:11:04):
Yes.

Speaker 26 (01:11:06):
Well, you should have been a better prep because John
Kennedy asks this question, yes, have you ever authored and
signed a legal pleading?

Speaker 14 (01:11:13):
I'm not, Senator, but as was a gap of several.

Speaker 26 (01:11:19):
Years between your graduation from law school and when you
entered the bar in Washington, d C. During that period,
did you take the bar and fail to pass?

Speaker 27 (01:11:28):
I did one time, Senator, Yes, but there was a
fiction in what jurisdiction.

Speaker 14 (01:11:33):
Did the lord and failty?

Speaker 27 (01:11:34):
Senator, But there was a gap before I actually took
the bar. I wasn't sure if I actually wanted to
go and practice law.

Speaker 26 (01:11:41):
Frankly, under what circumstances would you counsel the EPA administrator
to violate a court order?

Speaker 21 (01:11:50):
Senator?

Speaker 14 (01:11:51):
Thank you for that.

Speaker 27 (01:11:52):
I would never counsel the ep administrator to violate a
court order under oath.

Speaker 26 (01:11:58):
Can you assure us now that EPA is presently in
compliance with the federal court decisions by Judge Ali Khan
and Judge McConnell right now.

Speaker 14 (01:12:09):
The Senator, I believe that the agency is.

Speaker 26 (01:12:13):
When a public official makes public accusations of criminal activity
with no credible evidence to support the accusations.

Speaker 21 (01:12:21):
What legal liabilities and concerns does that.

Speaker 27 (01:12:24):
Raise, Senator, As you mentioned in opening, potentially defamation, that
sort of thing. But I'm not a criminal investigator. I'm
not of the Department of Justice. I don't handle the
various aspects of that criminal probe, so I'm not privy
to that information.

Speaker 26 (01:12:43):
There is an internal memorandum out of the agency's Council
office that relates that a significant number of grants were
terminated based on a significant error agency's words in the
and conditions for those grants. As The Washington Post reported today,

(01:13:06):
an agency lawyer warned officials that they had cited contractual
language did not apply to many of the grants the
EPA had ended in recent weeks. Grants had been terminated
on grounds that they no longer fit the agency's priorities,
referring to a clause in their grants general terms and
conditions that applied only to grants issued between August thirteen,

(01:13:27):
twenty twenty, and September thirty, twenty twenty four, and almost
half of the terminated grants were finalized outside of that
relevant period. Have the grants impacted by this significant legal
error been restored to the recipients, Senator, I've seen the
reporting on that we received your letter, in fact, to

(01:13:49):
the two letters yesterday on this.

Speaker 14 (01:13:52):
I was not on that email.

Speaker 27 (01:13:53):
I think it was an email, not a memorandum, But
I think we're working to track answer down for you
on that.

Speaker 21 (01:14:01):
My time has expired, Scott.

Speaker 6 (01:14:13):
That man probably wouldn't even gotten too a sit down
interview with you.

Speaker 11 (01:14:20):
What was his position he was being reviewed upon in
the committee?

Speaker 10 (01:14:26):
What was his position? He was a legal position. He
was going to run the Environmental Agency.

Speaker 6 (01:14:31):
E p I think he was going to run the
legal department of the e p A. No, hold on,
hold on, hold on, hold on, let me see hold up.
Yes he was, he was. He was nominated to supervise
two hundred EPA lawyers.

Speaker 10 (01:14:50):
Okay, so.

Speaker 9 (01:14:52):
Here here's the problem with the lack of experience, especially
in lawyering and giving legal advice and counsel. The problem
is without the experience, you don't know what you don't know,
including hiring people who are competent around you to advise
you one but you don't even know what you don't know.

(01:15:15):
So people can come to you and advise you, but
they may have agendas, and because.

Speaker 10 (01:15:21):
You don't have the experience, you don't know whether they got.

Speaker 9 (01:15:23):
An agenda or not, whether it's been cross reference or
cross check or thoroughly research before you go give.

Speaker 6 (01:15:30):
God, demand had never even done a deposition.

Speaker 9 (01:15:35):
Well, I'm getting in to that so that I'm talking
from a management standpoint. He's never done a deposition, he's
never signed a legal pleading. Now he can argue that DOJ.
Doug would be doing all the litigation. But to go
to DJ, you've got a brief DOJ, and you got
to be able to give them advice and counsel or

(01:15:56):
strategize with them or what the best approach is.

Speaker 10 (01:15:59):
Otherwise they're going to just do.

Speaker 11 (01:16:00):
Whatever they want to do without you being able to
have that experience.

Speaker 10 (01:16:05):
This isn't nuance, this is real and practical experience.

Speaker 9 (01:16:09):
So no, he's not qualified to be general counsel for EPA,
at least not based on that clip and not based
on that testimony. And if they're getting rid of all
the non appointees in the Legal Office of EPA, that's
even worse because you know, you got cats and women
in th those positions, been there twenty thirty years, and
they can recite the law or decisions off the top

(01:16:32):
of their head and brief.

Speaker 11 (01:16:34):
You on it in a way that you find reliable.
So I'm not disagreeing with you.

Speaker 9 (01:16:39):
I'm laying out for your listening public as to why
this is a problem beyond the fact it just borders
on the nonsensical.

Speaker 6 (01:16:47):
Okay, I'm a translate, Mustafa what Scott just said. Mustafa,
I'm gonna translate what Scott just said. And I have
been trying my best not to cuss. A lot of
our followers be like Roland, please don't cuss. I got
my kids watch it. So y'all do me a favor.

(01:17:07):
Turn the TV down for ten seconds. I'm gonna start counting,
and you could turn the television down because see in
this moment right here, I have to say it in
a way that is a proper translation for what Scott
just said. So if y'all do not want to hear
me a cuss, I'm gonna do a countdown ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,

(01:17:33):
three to one. Turn the volume down. The translation, Mustafa
for Scott all that he just said is he don't
know what the fuck he doing. He ain't got no
fucking clue what he is doing. Y'all can turn the
volume down. Back up, Mustafa, you worked in the EPA.

(01:17:58):
This is a perfect exzazat temple of somebody grossly unqualified. Anthony,
go go to my iPad and guess what here's the headline.
Republicans back EPA pick despite questions about qualifications. Now, for
all y'all who were wondering, Oh my goodness, who are

(01:18:19):
those Republicans? So when you hear these assholes talking about this, here,
here are the individuals. This is the majority. These are
the Republicans. Shelley Moricapedo out of West Virginia, Kevin Kramer,
Cynthia Loomas, John Curtis punk Ass, Lindsey Graham who kisses

(01:18:40):
so much maga ass he's now brown faced, Dan Sullivan,
Pete Ricketts, Roger Wicker of Mississippi, John Boozeman, John Hustead.
These are the Republicans. So guess what I bet not
here now one of these white Republicans is talk about

(01:19:01):
DEI and merit and who's qualified. When they voted for
a grossly unqualified white man. It ain't even a conversation.

Speaker 16 (01:19:14):
Yeah, that's amazing.

Speaker 12 (01:19:15):
You know, I worked with both Democrat and Republican leads
of Officer General Counsel.

Speaker 10 (01:19:22):
All them were talented.

Speaker 12 (01:19:23):
You know, people come with different policies and then they
have to make recommendations to the administrator.

Speaker 16 (01:19:29):
This person.

Speaker 12 (01:19:30):
I can't even believe that they're sitting there going through
that confirmation process. I mean, you know, I've lectured on
environmental law everywhere from Howard to Harvard, you know, all everybody.

Speaker 13 (01:19:43):
Who's in between.

Speaker 12 (01:19:44):
And for him not to have the experience to even
be sitting in that chair to be given consideration says
something about this administration and how they feel about protecting
our communities and our country from talks pollution from this
individual would have to be a part of conversations with
a number of folks, uh well versed on the legal

(01:20:07):
side of the equation, from business and industry as well
as nonprofit organizations, you know, for him not to understand
the federal acquisition regulations that are a part of you know,
some of the things that we see going on right
now around some of the contracts and grants that are
out there that you know are going through these changes
that are currently going on. I can't imagine this individual

(01:20:28):
sitting there and having any real knowledge about the Clean
Air Act, or the Clean Water Act, or Rick Row
or a number of the different acts that the Environmental
Protection Agency foundation is built upon. And that's scary because
you know, this is someone and you know, Scott talked
about sort of the dance between the Department of Justice

(01:20:49):
and EPA.

Speaker 13 (01:20:50):
And that's just one side of the equation.

Speaker 12 (01:20:52):
I would be very, very concerned with a number of
the other sets of conversations that he would have to
have within individuals who know the game and are looking
for opportunities to exploit it. So the person who sits
in that chair, at least in all those folks who
I work with, they were knowledgeable in a very deep

(01:21:13):
way about the law, but they also understood, you know,
the different things that people do to try and you know,
find the best positioning for their you know, whoever they're representing.
And this person is wholly unexperienced to be a part
of those conversations, especially since we've seen not only an

(01:21:33):
EPA but a number of other agencies and departments that
you know, they've hollowed out those respective entities. So he
would be there pretty much like a babe in the woods,
and people would just devour him, even with them not
actually caring about you know, the environment and public health. Uh,

(01:21:55):
this is a very dangerous, a very dangerous situation for
these you know, these representatives to even give this person consideration.

Speaker 6 (01:22:02):
So Derek Dereck, somebody in Chatsea hit Roland. Please Cus here, Derek.
Here's the thing that's crazy, this story about them. Pickett
was April second, it was April second, It's April eighth,
Chuck Schuman, what the hell you doing? I would be

(01:22:23):
amplifying this story like crazy, with them running around talking
about who not qualified, all that sort of stuff. I
would be going, how in the hell can y'all advance
this perfect? I would be I would make this white man,
Sean Donahue, the poster child of white privilege. I would

(01:22:44):
be throwing this in the face of Elon JD and Trump.
What the hell is I saw this clip on Twitter.
I ain't getting I ain't seen no press release, didn't
nobody hype this up. This is a perfect example of
this is a perfect example of what I'm talking about
when you have Democrats who are who, who are slew footed, slow,

(01:23:09):
who who don't understand in terms of how you move.
I saw this the other day. Ken Martin put out
a tweet where he said that, oh here it is yesterday.
Let me show y'all this tweet the diment that you
let you comment. Uh, we are launching a new DNC

(01:23:31):
war room. We're gonna compete in every information space and
put Trump and the Republicans on the defense every day.
At this very moment, Trump is actively wrecking our country.
He can't go on challenge, say dog, this is a
perfect example. If I'm him, I'm saying to Democrats, don't
y'all say another damn word about merit and DEI with

(01:23:54):
this pathetically unqualified man, his ass will be the post
a child right now, Derek, of every Democrat.

Speaker 10 (01:24:04):
You're absolutely right, Roland, But he won't be the only one, right.

Speaker 6 (01:24:09):
No, no, but you got to start one. But you
got us talk about one at least.

Speaker 10 (01:24:13):
At least talk about one.

Speaker 5 (01:24:15):
Right.

Speaker 15 (01:24:15):
But this is the most inepp unfit, unqualified cabinet ever,
for two hundred and forty eight years, the most inep incompetent, unqualified,
unfit cabinet, starting from the President to this individual. They

(01:24:38):
continue to demonstrate, Roland. Which is the point that I appreciate.

Speaker 10 (01:24:42):
You highlighting this evening, because merit has always been a
qualifier for us.

Speaker 15 (01:24:51):
We always had to get two or three degrees, We
always had to be top of our class.

Speaker 10 (01:24:56):
We always right. I remember reading Earl Gray's senior book and.

Speaker 15 (01:25:01):
He was talking about the two sets of rules and
You also expanded upon that a few weeks ago when
Robert Kennedy was going through the nomination process, and I
remember you saying Robert Kennedy is not even in healthcare.
This is the same individual, Roland that advise folks how

(01:25:23):
to deal with measos by by taking invitamin A and
Kyle liver oil. And now those same children are having
liver problems right the measle outbreak.

Speaker 6 (01:25:36):
But but but but but here's okay, I got all that,
But he's my point. I want to say, focus on
this guy, because this is my whole point. You can't
make the argument broad. You have to narrate Scott. The
point here is this. Here, you have to you have
to make someone the poster child you have. You have
to hold somebody as an example. And I'm saying what
Democrats should be doing. Democrats should be hit these fools back,

(01:25:58):
saying y'all actually have the audacity, the unmitigated gall or
talk about DEI and any DEI programs that people been unqualified.
Here is a grossly unqualified, incompetent person to lead the
EPA's legal room of two hundred lawyers, the man they

(01:26:19):
never supervised. More he's you saw how he even said
six to eight and they all want even lawyers. Hell,
I dodn't talk to more lawyers than his ass likely.

Speaker 10 (01:26:32):
Well he here, here's the thing.

Speaker 9 (01:26:35):
As an associate at a small firm in Buffalo, because
they know really big firms in Buffalo.

Speaker 10 (01:26:40):
He was an associate.

Speaker 6 (01:26:41):
Damn, damn Scott, Damn Scott. That's some shade.

Speaker 10 (01:26:45):
Yeah, I know, but damn fix aging supervised.

Speaker 9 (01:26:48):
There may have been one, maybe two attorneys at best,
because as an associate, and you know, been there.

Speaker 11 (01:26:54):
Year and a half, you not really supervising anybody.

Speaker 10 (01:26:56):
It's not like your partner. But here's the thing.

Speaker 9 (01:26:58):
Don't lasted one, I know, but don't miss this part.
Think about there's an arrogance part to this. On the
Republican side. He wasn't even well prepared. They could care
less about his qualification, but they could care less about
him being prepared to either shield or cover his lack

(01:27:22):
of experience. To be if he was young, if he
was brilliant, if he was competent, and he was well prepared,
he would present ten times better.

Speaker 10 (01:27:32):
But they didn't even prep him.

Speaker 9 (01:27:33):
Invent Sheldon Sheldon House even told him said, you should
be more well prepared because those two orders judicial orders
or decisions used by Sheldon.

Speaker 10 (01:27:45):
I was waiting for Sheldon to tell me, to tell
us the holding in those cases.

Speaker 9 (01:27:50):
I guarantee he didn't know the holdings in those cases,
and he gave him somewhat of the holding, and he
still was fumbling through it. And so it's the arrogance
that drumps out at me of not being well prepared
on top of the base level of competence that you.

Speaker 16 (01:28:06):
Want to try to cover up.

Speaker 10 (01:28:08):
You gotta try to cover you're in the US Senate,
my goodness, But.

Speaker 6 (01:28:12):
What that is, it is sheer arrogance that you know what,
we can just throw anybody and the Republicans not gonna
say a word, and we could just go let they're
gonna sit here and do whatever I want. Again, But
but again, this make him the post a child. I
gotta go ahead. I gotta hit y'all with this here, because.

Speaker 10 (01:28:34):
I'm just let us show up. I'm prepared. Hold let
me show up.

Speaker 6 (01:28:39):
Real clear all. First of all, we wouldn't even have
the chance to show up unprepared, because we would be
unprepared to even get nominated. I gotta go ahead and
do this. I mean, I'm I'm so sick of tired
of her ass.

Speaker 1 (01:28:53):
Uh and.

Speaker 6 (01:28:56):
I'm sorry. I keep telling folk that these these these
idiots and maga, this ain't nothing but a TV show
to them. Okay, the whole counter's a TV show. And
Christie Noan really thinks she fair or fawcet she thinks,

(01:29:16):
she thinks she think I think she's I think she's
figuring out that uh they trying to recast the new
reboot of Charlie's Angels.

Speaker 5 (01:29:26):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (01:29:26):
And so she's like, forget Drew Barrymore, forget uh, forget
Cameron Diaz uh, and forget who's the age woman? I
forgot her name? We ain't seen in a long time,
Lisa Lou Forget her. I think Christy Noan is really
trying out for a new role. So ignant ass release

(01:29:47):
this video and I love this tagline. Nice to see
the Secretary of Homeland Security all equipped and prepared, including
her hair extensions, fake eye lashes, and wearing a sixty
thousand dollars ro roles watch to hunt down the bad guys.
Maybe maybe, maybe it's with the success of Will Smith
and Martin lawrenching bad boys, she wants to be the

(01:30:08):
star of Bad Girls. I don't know what the hell
is y'all watch this bullshit.

Speaker 3 (01:30:14):
We are with MNDL and Zion today.

Speaker 6 (01:30:15):
They're letting me roll up.

Speaker 7 (01:30:16):
Then we're gonna go out and pick up somebody.

Speaker 5 (01:30:19):
Who wasn't think you got Urgeant of Human.

Speaker 20 (01:30:21):
Traffickames earlier had an open swept up somebody who was
wanted her murder.

Speaker 10 (01:30:27):
So appreciate the word is to thebe every day.

Speaker 2 (01:30:30):
We appreciate that, working to make them.

Speaker 6 (01:30:32):
Every single I ain't nobody sitting here looking for your
trifle ass to be out there all dressed up like
you in the movie holding a damn gun like that,
and in fact, let me go ahead and find it.
I saw an Arizona center of Reuben de Lago. Uh
drop this, uh, he responded, Uh, let me go ahead

(01:30:54):
and hold on the don't pull it up yet. Don't
pull it up yet, because I want to blow it up.
Because this cracked me the hell up when he gave
some commentary on her trifling ass standing up there looking
like a damn fool holding this gun up.

Speaker 4 (01:31:08):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (01:31:09):
And so hold on one second, and this is this
is a democrat. You can tell he loved guns. I
think I can't. I can tell this is Reuben Gallego
of this is Robert Pattillo. But he said number one go,
He said, close your ejection port. Number two. If you
have no rounds in the chamber, why do you have
a magazine inserted? Number three? If you have rounds in

(01:31:31):
the chamber or in the magazine, why are you flagging
the guy next to you? Number four? Stop deporting people
without due process. I mean, this is some silly shit, Derek.
She literally is playing dress up every damn day. She
done went through the entire Department of Homeland Security costume department. Uh,

(01:31:52):
because we've done seen photos of her ass on horses,
on boats and helicopters. I mean, she is up trying
to get cash in a Hollywood movie.

Speaker 15 (01:32:07):
Hey, Roland, she wants to be the modern day Gi
Jane Part two. But the reality is as a retired
military officer, He's exactly right.

Speaker 10 (01:32:17):
She is holding the weapon wrong. She exposing everything that
you should not do.

Speaker 15 (01:32:24):
This clearly demonstrates again which is the point of your
previous segment, and that is they are unfit and unqualified individuals.

Speaker 10 (01:32:33):
And when you have that, they continue to demonstrate that
they don't care.

Speaker 15 (01:32:37):
They don't understand policies, they don't care about policies, they
don't care about national security, and they don't care about
the person they standing next to. Because I'll be afraid Roland.
If that weapon was fully locked and loaded and ready
to go, that individual very well may not be breathing

(01:32:58):
anymore because you can very well discharge a webman.

Speaker 6 (01:33:04):
Yeah, so so again, I listen, I don't shot a
gun twice. That's the most overrated shit I've seen in
my life. I shot a machine gun at the FBI.
See this is academy. I was like, man, I'm going
to play golf this y'all. Y'all can have this bullshit.
I don't. I mean, it just didn't do nothing for me.
I mean nothing not named I like is it? But

(01:33:25):
I gotta give sitting at Gallego. Not only he popped
that tweet out of mustaf, but he also did this
video here hilarious as he'll watch.

Speaker 28 (01:33:33):
You seen this picture, let me explain to you how
this is all cosplay. Number one, anyone that's ever been
in combat, whether it's Marines, officer or anything else like that,
you would never wear a flat jacket like that sloppily
put on to get snagged on something. You've tried to
breach your door or go through any kind of very
you know, high intensity situation. Number two, what's going on
with the rejection port there either means that there's a
rounding chamber or you're just being slapping keeping open. Number three,

(01:33:56):
you have a magazine inserted that tells me you likely
have a rounded chamber.

Speaker 6 (01:34:00):
If you have a round in chamber.

Speaker 28 (01:34:01):
The most important thing you have to always deal with
dealing with weapons handling is you have to assume every
weapon is loaded and you're pointing that weapon directly at
that guy's head to the left hand side. So that
is a problem, uh, Secretary Gnome. And number four, the
bigger and biggest prom va stop your boarding people without
due process. You continue to deport innocent men and women

(01:34:23):
that have rights to stay here.

Speaker 18 (01:34:25):
Uh.

Speaker 28 (01:34:25):
And you're depoorting them out of this country when they
should be here and have a right to stay here.

Speaker 6 (01:34:31):
And we know down well that if a Democrat was
holding that gun that same way, these little these the
Second Amendment levels will be losing their mind. Mustapha, Yeah,
I mean he hit it on the head.

Speaker 12 (01:34:42):
I was sitting here thinking also that this administration is
big on cosplay.

Speaker 13 (01:34:46):
I mean, you got all these folks who have no
idea what they're doing.

Speaker 6 (01:34:49):
They hola, hola, hola, hola, holda. I'm just going I'm
just going to just just one suggested frat. Here's the deal.
Average people don't use cosplay. I'm just I'm just saying
every people don't talk that way. We should say this
ain't no movie. Everybody understand that. No, I'm I'm sure.
When I heard him say it, I was like, cosplay?
What the fuck is cosplay? I'm like, I don't use cosplay.

(01:35:12):
I'm like, well that Bill Cosby in a play. I'm like,
what what the cosplay? That's just me? Go ahead.

Speaker 13 (01:35:16):
I'm sorry, no, no, no, that's all good.

Speaker 12 (01:35:18):
But I would say a lot of younger people actually
do understand what cosplay is because it's a part of
the lexicon.

Speaker 6 (01:35:23):
But they got to there's a movie, what is it?

Speaker 14 (01:35:28):
What is it?

Speaker 10 (01:35:30):
I ain't never heard of it either.

Speaker 12 (01:35:32):
Cosplay is when people like dress up and pretend that
they are a character.

Speaker 6 (01:35:36):
So can we just say play dress up?

Speaker 16 (01:35:41):
They finished and say go ahead.

Speaker 6 (01:35:42):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm bad. I'm sorry.

Speaker 10 (01:35:44):
No, it's all good.

Speaker 12 (01:35:46):
I mean, the reality is is that, you know, I
grew up on gun rangers, so I kept hearing my
father's voice in my ear when they were breaking down all.

Speaker 13 (01:35:54):
The different things that they were doing incorrectly.

Speaker 12 (01:35:56):
But besides that, you know, the real reality of the
situation is that these people are unseerious about protecting our country.
They're unserious about people's rights, they're unserious about so many things,
and it just manifests itself and how these people stand
in front of the cameras and want you to believe
that they were actually a part of, you know, an
investigation or actually a part of taking somebody down when

(01:36:19):
they probably were sitting in some office somewhere and then
after whatever took place, then they show up. So we
just need to make sure that we understand this game
that's going on and that we have something to do
about it. And if you don't like what you're seeing,
if you don't like people being deported unjustly, if you
don't like having individuals who have no experience, who have

(01:36:41):
no merit and.

Speaker 13 (01:36:42):
The positions that they are, then do something about it.
In the midterms.

Speaker 6 (01:36:47):
Scott, Yeah, you know, I always crack up when I.

Speaker 9 (01:36:54):
See Christy know, with the picture with the prisoners behind her,
and then she's got the baseball cap order, she's got
the cowboard capboard.

Speaker 10 (01:37:03):
I mean, it's the marketing of maga. Maga is something,
the marketing of Trump.

Speaker 9 (01:37:08):
There's no depth in substance to any of the agencies
or even to Donald Trump.

Speaker 16 (01:37:14):
And you.

Speaker 6 (01:37:16):
Did you see this one? Here is this her cowboy
called a look? Oh yeah, see again though, that's all
go ahead, a lot.

Speaker 9 (01:37:26):
Of makeup on, I mean to Republican men, she's hot
to them, and this kind of bad girl or good
cop female chasing down bad guys.

Speaker 10 (01:37:38):
It's all about building an image that these.

Speaker 9 (01:37:41):
Directors who fan out and do the talk shows, they're
all selling Maga. They're all selling Trump. If you really
think about it, many of them are talking about depth
and substance. They're just marketing everything about the administration's marketing,
whether it's airline.

Speaker 10 (01:38:00):
Of it, or the heads of these agencies or even
Donald Trump. All he does is market.

Speaker 9 (01:38:07):
Every time he does a press conference with or without
agency had or if he's presenting something, he riffs on
all of these talking points and these conflicts or what
do you call it, his his what he hates about America,
and it's just reinforced marketing, marketing, marketing, and people who

(01:38:31):
are not college educated, who are the least lost and
left out, poor working white Americans. They are Fox five
or Fox News. They listen to all of this rhetoric
that is just rhetoric.

Speaker 10 (01:38:45):
He speaks in.

Speaker 9 (01:38:46):
Hyperbole and he reinforces that every chance he gets. They're
rapists and murderers, and we got to get the Venezuela's
gangs out, and he's just riffing, and it's all lives.

Speaker 10 (01:38:57):
Most of the things coming out are not just on truths,
but they're just lies. And the data is counter to it.

Speaker 16 (01:39:04):
But it comes in.

Speaker 9 (01:39:05):
Such overwhelming fashion even the media can't just keep up
with it. You talk about Melman having a rapid response team.
That's good, but the Republican Rhetorican lies just comes so
fast you forget about all the nonsense.

Speaker 3 (01:39:21):
That they say.

Speaker 9 (01:39:22):
But his voters and even those who are not his voters,
just eat it up, finding it is true. He's got
the power of the presidency behind him. Nobody challenges it,
and so it becomes his truth and the truth of
his voters and stuff.

Speaker 11 (01:39:38):
It's an amazing marketing machine.

Speaker 9 (01:39:40):
More than anything, but it's based in falsity and you
can't keep up with it.

Speaker 10 (01:39:45):
That's one of the best he's one of the best
marketeers there are.

Speaker 9 (01:39:49):
Well, if we keep up with it, and until he
drives us into a recession, Democrats have got to be
able to show.

Speaker 11 (01:39:57):
Blame him for the recession, blame him for inflation, right,
but give Republicans an alternative.

Speaker 9 (01:40:03):
I'm sorry, Democrats and all voters on alternative to him,
not an alternatives.

Speaker 10 (01:40:08):
That they don't like.

Speaker 9 (01:40:10):
Not only blame him, but tell them their story and
how they're going to make it better for them. Until
we do that, I'm sorry. The Republicans can continue to
get re elected if they're better marketers than the Democrats,
and right now they are.

Speaker 6 (01:40:25):
But this is the point that I was just making.
When we talk about holding that guy up, you have
to understand narrative. Also, we're living in the age of
social media, Derek. This is not the days of newspapers
where it comes out the next day, radio and television.
It's now immediate. If you are not crafting a message

(01:40:46):
that has means, using photos, using videos, then you're not
telling a story. And that's what I'm talking about. That's
what I'm saying I would make Sean Donahue the face
of no talent, no merit, and I would say, oh,
you dumb asses want tech DEI but y'all voted for
this food. I would embarrass them. I would beat his

(01:41:08):
ass across the head every single day and say, this
is one of the most unqualified people that have ever
come before us, and you fools just voted for him,
but they are too nice about it.

Speaker 15 (01:41:20):
Go ahead, yeah, yeah again, Roland, You're you're absolutely spot on,
And I agree with Scott and Mustafa.

Speaker 21 (01:41:27):
You know.

Speaker 10 (01:41:27):
The only two points I would add rolling to the point.

Speaker 15 (01:41:30):
About social media and and pushing that narrative is that
we'll be telling the truth. See that's the difference between
Don da Khan. Every time I got yeah, I call
him Don da Khan. I do not call him a
great marketer. He is not a marketer.

Speaker 10 (01:41:48):
I'm in marketing. That's what I do, you know.

Speaker 6 (01:41:52):
For for like Scarammucie, I know Scott's gotta go, but
I'm gonna show this scare muchie. Hold on, I gotta
do it. Don't don't go to you yet, I gotta
I got I got no, no, no again no, because
literally I was sitting here. I was looking at these
Twitter comments as he was talking, and I saw this.
He's a perfect example that when you're talking, because you
said marketing literally as you were talking. And I know

(01:42:14):
this is Anthony Scaremuci and we know he was a
Trump supporter in the in the first time. But this
we're talking about marketing. Matter of fact. Here to go, Hey, keenan,
do me a favor. Put this on a T shirt
and put it on our site. MAGA chose between woke
or broke. They chose broke, But that bom saying from

(01:42:36):
a marketing standpoint, Scott, Derek and Mustappa, that's what I'm
talking about, Republicans talking bumper stickers. There you go, Oh,
y'all didn't like woke, y'all like broke? Boom Scott, Now
you gotta go, I Kappa later. Oh and Scott and Scott, thank.

Speaker 10 (01:42:53):
You, thank you and scaped you money today.

Speaker 6 (01:42:56):
And you didn't mention no, no, no, see Scott, see
right there, see right there, that's how error your little
ass is. See. I was just about to thank you
for your like literally, I'm about to thank you, but
your little ego you ain't thank me publicly for my donation.
I was literally just about to say, y'all today, Secott,

(01:43:16):
come on, let's have it.

Speaker 10 (01:43:18):
I'm not gonna do it to after yourself.

Speaker 12 (01:43:20):
You know.

Speaker 6 (01:43:20):
No, I'm not gonna do it after you sign off. Man, No,
I'm not gonna do it after you sign off. See
see right there? Are you not giving?

Speaker 19 (01:43:30):
Are you?

Speaker 1 (01:43:30):
Now?

Speaker 6 (01:43:31):
Are you not Marvin Sap? You're gonna lock the doors?

Speaker 3 (01:43:34):
Come on, one time?

Speaker 6 (01:43:36):
You not Marvin? You now your fellow cap of Marvin Sap?
You're gonna lock the doors?

Speaker 10 (01:43:39):
Can hear you?

Speaker 16 (01:43:40):
I can't hear.

Speaker 10 (01:43:41):
I can't hear you. Dog, Come on, just think you
one time.

Speaker 6 (01:43:45):
I'm not gonna do it after you sign off. See
see see you begging for it. See if you had,
if it allowed me to do it, I would have
done it. But this is but it's but it's two
of them. But it's two other alphas on this panel.
And we don't bow down. All right, guys, want of love?

Speaker 10 (01:44:05):
Where's my health for? Sign?

Speaker 1 (01:44:06):
There?

Speaker 6 (01:44:07):
You go there, it is all right now you being
wanting to do that your whole life? And guess what, Hey,
go ahead throw it.

Speaker 3 (01:44:12):
Up with Scott.

Speaker 6 (01:44:13):
Guess and guess what I'm gonna I'm telling you right,
I'm telling you right now, Scott Scott, and I'm posting
that ship on social you throwing the alpha sign. So
I'm just letting you know it's gonna Scott, It's gonna
be a screen It's gonna be a screen shot, don't
head mustafa. Gon ahead, Derek, It's gonna be a screen
shot of Scott wishing, wishing he could wear a black

(01:44:35):
and old goal. Okay, there there you go. Now get
on out of here.

Speaker 10 (01:44:40):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (01:44:40):
I appreciate Scott. Thanks a lot, Derek, go ahead, make
your point. Then I'm gonna do this last story. Go ahead.

Speaker 15 (01:44:46):
Yeah, we definitely have to do a better job on
making sure we tie that social media piece, because not
only we'll be able to frame the conversation in the narrative,
but the algorithm. The algorithm, I mean, Roland, you constantly
talk about that algorithm piece as well. And so every

(01:45:07):
time I get on social media, I post things like
hashtag you know don da Khan hashtag convicted felon hashtag
you know, thirty four felonies, and that algorithm picks up.

Speaker 10 (01:45:21):
So every time I get on my Facebook and Twitter and.

Speaker 15 (01:45:26):
Other platforms, that algorithm continue to follow not only what
I'm doing, but everybody that follows me.

Speaker 10 (01:45:34):
And so we gotta frame that conversation. And the second
and last point, rolland is this.

Speaker 15 (01:45:39):
We have to do this now more than ever before
because that midterm will make or break us, because in
twenty thirty we get a chance to redraw the congressional
lines across the United States. And the last thing we
need at the state level, we got a little mini
Trumper and he thinks he gonna be running for governor

(01:46:01):
UH next next year, and he has pushed all of
Trump's agendas.

Speaker 10 (01:46:07):
And so we got to look at this thing. Two
foe both at the federal level and at the state level.

Speaker 6 (01:46:13):
Y'all. Racist Margaret Taylor Green married a racist. We showed
out the video. Roll the video, y'all. This is video
of her racist ex husband who was literally cussing out
Muslim women who were just trying to play roll some
of this.

Speaker 4 (01:46:34):
A little to the ventry.

Speaker 7 (01:46:41):
Okay, that perfect, thank you.

Speaker 10 (01:46:49):
Look, how do you think to your brother.

Speaker 3 (01:46:55):
Nobody ship here?

Speaker 4 (01:46:58):
Did he are you personally? Yes?

Speaker 7 (01:47:00):
Yes, okay, I'm sorry, luk like grumble.

Speaker 10 (01:47:03):
They'll want to kill games, y'all want.

Speaker 1 (01:47:06):
To do all kind of crazy.

Speaker 10 (01:47:09):
Where you're from, well, come from it.

Speaker 7 (01:47:10):
Doesn't matter, drum, it does not. Why does it matter
to you?

Speaker 6 (01:47:15):
Then that's because you're you're worshiping a folks guy.

Speaker 4 (01:47:20):
Are you Christian?

Speaker 1 (01:47:22):
All right?

Speaker 6 (01:47:22):
That's well racist Perry Green decided to issue apology speaking
near a mosque. Here's the bigot, Okay, hurt there didn't

(01:48:03):
nobody checked the audio? Okay, well anyway, so so little Perry,
y'all little period for the cameras and he apologized. Let's
see if I can actually find play it myself where
he stood before with one of the women, and he

(01:48:24):
he spoke, and he was all sorrowful for his actions,
for for him, for his racist ways. Give me a second,
I'm about to, I'm about to I'm about to play it.

Speaker 21 (01:48:40):
All right, here we go.

Speaker 6 (01:48:42):
So that was a that was a news conference that
took place. It was a sixteen minute news conference. Now
we're not gonna play the full news conference. But this
is one of the women speaking.

Speaker 7 (01:48:55):
Man or him in the name of God, the most
Concious and most possiful.

Speaker 16 (01:48:59):
My name is not Gonzaga, and I served as a communications.

Speaker 29 (01:49:02):
Manager for the Georgia chapter of the Council on American
Islamic Relations, the nation's largest Muslim civil rights and adolcy group.

Speaker 6 (01:49:10):
Today, we will not be endorsing the view Barry was
sitting here our things, apology and the look he ain't
speak long. The little racist didn't speak long.

Speaker 21 (01:49:19):
So watch this.

Speaker 14 (01:49:20):
Here go to it.

Speaker 6 (01:49:21):
Oh, here we go, let's sit here, Here we go.

Speaker 24 (01:49:33):
It's great.

Speaker 10 (01:49:36):
Hello everyone. I came today just to meet with the
young ladies that I was.

Speaker 30 (01:49:41):
I was mean to and treated disrespectfully about the religion,
about what they were doing and right, and I just
wanted them to know that I humbly apologized to them
because nobody should be treated that way and that's not
the right way for us to treat anybody with any differences.
And I just that's, you know, what we came to do,
and hopefully they'll find it in their hearts to forgive me,

(01:50:03):
and that, you know, that's we shouldn't allow that in
our society.

Speaker 10 (01:50:06):
So thank you, mister Breen.

Speaker 7 (01:50:13):
Will not be taking any questions.

Speaker 6 (01:50:16):
First ball, we should not allowed in our society. Oh
what's about y'all? Ass? Did it?

Speaker 13 (01:50:28):
I mean, it's you know, what do you wanna say
about these types of folks?

Speaker 12 (01:50:32):
I mean, it's it's the hate is so deep inside
of them that they often don't even understand what they're doing,
what they're they.

Speaker 13 (01:50:40):
Understand what they're saying, but they don't even understand what
God is actually all about.

Speaker 10 (01:50:45):
It's amazing.

Speaker 13 (01:50:45):
You know, religious hate crimes are up in the country.
There are a couple of different studies out there that
show that.

Speaker 12 (01:50:50):
Right now, we know that very few people often talk
about Islamophobia, and we know that there are increases that
have happened there.

Speaker 13 (01:50:58):
Of course, anti Semitism, we know what's going on in
that space.

Speaker 12 (01:51:02):
And you know, these individuals, they they're so antiquated in
the way that they think, you know, that they continue
to hold on to all this various type of hate.
And unfortunately, when somebody sees somebody of his level because
of who he used to be married to, making these
types of things, it makes others think that it's okay
for them to do it as well.

Speaker 13 (01:51:23):
And then of course they hear this rhetoric, you know,
all the way up to the top.

Speaker 12 (01:51:27):
So we have to call it out where it is,
and we've got to make sure that folks continue to
push back. And there's a reason why we have hate
crimes legislation, and you know, I hope that those sisters
are not only safe, but I hope that they also
give some consideration to other steps that they might want
to take.

Speaker 6 (01:51:46):
They're the race is going racist.

Speaker 10 (01:51:49):
Listen.

Speaker 15 (01:51:50):
I watched that live when it took place here in Georgia,
and the very first thing that came to my mind
rolled and I said, you know, I get it, you know,
this apology, but I personally think that racist apologies are insufficient.
I think especially when there is no clear demonstration of accountability.

(01:52:14):
He didn't say that, hey, I'm going to spend ten
twenty thirty hours at the mosque. Nothing he said even
added that he felt remorse make it more meaningful. And
so I just think that when we hear these kind

(01:52:34):
of apologies rolling, my humble opinion, we need to hold
people accountable.

Speaker 10 (01:52:39):
We need to hold them accountable.

Speaker 15 (01:52:40):
To the degree where their words will go beyond just
simple words.

Speaker 10 (01:52:45):
It will actually transform their behavior.

Speaker 15 (01:52:48):
It will help contribute to push our society progressively forward,
to make it more inclusive, make it more equitable.

Speaker 10 (01:52:57):
And so I just think his apology was very empty.

Speaker 6 (01:53:01):
I ain't accepted his apology at all. Now, the attorney
represented the woman told a local TV station they are
not seeking compensation, but are discussing the possibility of Green
donating to a nonprofit focus on containing Islamophobia and promoting education.
That's let his ass off lightly, y'all want the nation's olders,
HBC used. Saint Augustine's in North Carolina is a target

(01:53:23):
of two new lawsuits. Within the last two weeks, two
major tech companies have filed lawsuits against the university seeking
more than eighteen million dollars in unpaid bills. These lawsuits
come on the hills Saint Augustine recently losing his accreditation
due to conservative or financial mismanagement and lack of oversight.
One company, SBA connect says the university owes them more

(01:53:44):
than sixteen million dollars. Yeah, yeah, I said, They're right,
sixteen million dollars with regards to their IT infrastructure. Okay,
what the hell? So when you look at the particular lawsuit,
they lay out that they already had a contract, but
then all of a sudden they decided to grab another

(01:54:05):
person while they already have the contract. So this lawsuit
actually kind of makes no sense. Again, the universities, they
owe them the compasses, they owe them sixty million dollars
in early termination fees after defaulting on a contract one
year after it was signed. Another local firm of area
claims university owes them one point three million dollars for

(01:54:26):
it infrastructure services that are still being provided. See this
is why we're going there on Friday talk about it,
and we've invited university leadership. We've invited the board of trustees.
Have they accepted our invitation? No, they have not. Now,
anybody who knows us knows we support HBCUs. So if

(01:54:47):
you're saying Augustine and you're asking the public to help
you throughout this situation, then you might want to be
a hell of a lot more open and transparent with
what is going on. So Friday joined us in Raleigh.
We want to see all your out there. If you
are friends, family, students, faculty, staff, you want to join
us to come to Martin Street Baptist Church for the

(01:55:07):
town hall taking place on Friday, doors open at five pm.
This really is about giving people at Saint Augustine, alumni
and others, giving them a voice to what is going on.
Because the people who are leading Saint Augustine, it's board chair,
its board of trustees and its administration. That's what they're
not doing. So we're going to absolutely be there. So

(01:55:30):
looking forward to that. All right, folks, let me thank Derek,
Let me thank Mustafa on today's panel, Scott Jenerals as well,
be me thank Scott for the donation as well. We're
gonna close the show out this way. Reverend Bishop William
Barber was one of the many speakers who spoke in
DC on Saraday at the protests that were taking place
led by Indivisible. There were a lot of different speakers.

(01:55:53):
There were some people who spoke to them long. Hey,
I got to go ahead and say this right now,
consent Jamie Raskin, Please y'all to shit. Y'all ass down.
Do y'all understand that Jamie Raskin when he spoke on
Saraday spoke for thirty seven damn minutes. Let me be
real clear. If you are speaking at a rally and
they got like fifty other speakers, didn't nobody ask you

(01:56:15):
to give a sermon, didn't nobody ask for no keynote address.
That's like the person who gets an award at a
bank and you the keynote speaker. They want to get
up there and talk for thirty minutes. They didn't come
pay to actually see your ass. Just get your award,
say thank you, give your sixty second comments, sit the
hell down. I'm tired of these people inviting politicians to

(01:56:37):
these events and they want to give long, damn speeches.
You don't even have that listen. Thirty minutes. Thirty seven
minutes is otherly ridiculous. Okay, yeah, I had to go
ahead and say it. So here's what Bishop William Barber
had to say at Saraday's rally.

Speaker 3 (01:56:57):
Fifty seven years ago. On April the third, Reverend.

Speaker 18 (01:57:01):
Doctor King said the night before he died, nothing would
be more tragic than for us to turn back. Now,
God help us not to turn back from the vision
of our constitution, that is to establish justice, to promote
the general welfare, to provide for the common defense, and
to ensure domestic tranquility.

Speaker 3 (01:57:25):
When Trump and Musk and Johnson and.

Speaker 18 (01:57:29):
Dominions are signing unconstitutional executive orders, unconstitutionally firing people, trying
to pass an unjust budget, and wrongfully raising tariffs that
would not only hurt Wall Street, but back street and
side streets and side roads. When they are doing this

(01:57:50):
We must say every day we will stand up in
truth and raise our vosses and boats and declare, take
your hands off of our democracy. Their foolish budget plans
could remove thirty six million people from health care and

(01:58:11):
millions and low wage children from school lunch, and refuse
to raise the living wage for fourteen million low wage
working American people from seven twenty five to seventeen million
an hour. We must pray for God to give the
courage to stand and say, take.

Speaker 3 (01:58:28):
Your hands off my hands off our voting rights, take
your hand off our living wages.

Speaker 18 (01:58:40):
Take hand off our public education, take your.

Speaker 3 (01:58:44):
Hands off of our lives.

Speaker 18 (01:58:51):
When greedy, when greety, technocrats with the supremacy philosophy want
to rule the country, we with moral bigger and righteous indignation,
must stand up and say no, we cannot.

Speaker 3 (01:59:07):
Be at ease in America.

Speaker 18 (01:59:09):
History is pushing us, the present is demanding us, and
the future is calling us.

Speaker 6 (01:59:16):
I said in.

Speaker 18 (01:59:17):
Twenty eighteen that every age must have a movement of
people that will build a moral fusion, mass movement that
stands together, that stands together because shoes before us are
not about left versus right, or Republican versus democrat, but
about right versus wrong, and justice versus injustice. And with

(01:59:41):
the help of the divine, we mush your ninth more
and more, declaring that we are black, we are white,
we are Latino, we are Asian, we are Native, we
are young.

Speaker 3 (01:59:53):
We are old. We are North, we are South, we
are East, we are West, we are gay, we are.

Speaker 18 (02:00:00):
T's, we are trains. We are America. And we ain't
going nowhere. God, God give us the strength.

Speaker 17 (02:00:14):
We will not.

Speaker 18 (02:00:15):
Allow a budget that goes after the policies that lift
the poor and low wage workers of this nature. We
will not accept the attacks on federal workers. We will
not accept them, not now, not ever. And we will
prayerfully with no equipation, no capitulation, no weakness, declaim with

(02:00:38):
all that is holy and divine.

Speaker 3 (02:00:40):
We cannot.

Speaker 6 (02:00:41):
We must not bow.

Speaker 18 (02:00:43):
We must reclaim our government. We must pledge ourselves to
the work of the third reconstruction of America. We must
lift every voice and sing together. We must lead with
love and repent of the apathy that has too often
slipped in.

Speaker 3 (02:01:02):
We cannot bow. Finally, they are afraid of you. Trump
and Musk who are who want to be want to be.

Speaker 18 (02:01:13):
Dictators and want to be kings and lords. They are
afraid of the power of love and truth and justice.
They are afraid of your unity and your diversity. Well
let's keep them afraid until they change. My friends, this
is way bigger just a party issue. This is an

(02:01:37):
outright battle for civilization and the They all your power
to come together, and they are betting that we will
be afraid of them. But this is the time that
we must increase, intensify, and embolden our agitation for what
is right.

Speaker 3 (02:01:59):
We must decline that the only way a wanna be
king can be king is if we bow. But bowing
down is not an option. Our needs aren't a bow.

Speaker 18 (02:02:16):
We are not gonna bow the power drunk neo fastest extremists.
We only bow to God, and so we must stand
troll when they attack everyday people with mean hurt for policies.
We must stand tall as they take your hands off
of our lives. So stand up to the Democrats, to stand.

Speaker 3 (02:02:45):
To stand now, the people, to stand tall. We must
mobilize our righteous bodies and our voices and our hearts.

Speaker 18 (02:02:55):
By the millions. We must stand tall because bowing now
is not an option. It might take mass call ins
but stand tall. It might take mass citians, but stand tall.
It might take non violent civil disobedience and they might
arrest us, but stand tall.

Speaker 3 (02:03:18):
It might take mass pray ins, but stand tall. It
might take class action.

Speaker 18 (02:03:25):
Lawsuits, but stand tall. It might take having a labor strike.

Speaker 3 (02:03:31):
Day on the election day so that working people can vote.
But stand told. Stand tall in every precinct.

Speaker 31 (02:03:42):
Stand tall in every voting district, Stand tall in every city,
Stand tall in every state. Stand tall in truth, stand
toalld in love, stand tall in justice, Stand tall and
demand that they take their hands off.

Speaker 18 (02:04:03):
Our democracy and the God of the universe We'll be
with us. Stand tone. Bowing down, say listen. Bowing down,
bowing down. Bowing down is not an option.

Speaker 6 (02:04:22):
Stand stand, stand Chronicles. One of the folks is not
scared about down as Coinswoman Jasmine Crockett tieing the Krocket Chronicles. Well,

(02:04:46):
they had a congression of hearing today and trust me,
Collings Woman Jasmine Crockett was not playing around when it
comes to Donald Trump having this fat ass on a
golf course every dayn weekend roll it.

Speaker 7 (02:04:58):
By now recognize missus Crockett for Texas for five minutes.

Speaker 29 (02:05:01):
Thank you so much, Madam Charin, I can tell you
one thing that is crumbling for the City of DC
was that continuing resolution that defunded approximately a billion dollars
from them.

Speaker 7 (02:05:10):
But I will focus on today's hearing.

Speaker 29 (02:05:13):
The Republican's recklessness and chaotic approach to reducing the size
of government has shown us what we've already known.

Speaker 7 (02:05:22):
Concepts of a plan don't work. This is the committee's
fourth hearing.

Speaker 29 (02:05:26):
And still no one from the so called Department of
Government Efficiency has testified before this committee about their plans
to break the federal government. Because, as it turns out,
breaking the federal government doesn't just hurt people you don't like.
It's going to It's not just going to be Democrats
who miss out on Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security, or

(02:05:47):
only Democratic veterans who'll miss out on their VA benefits.
Their approach will negatively impact all Americans. So it's unfortunate
that Republicans have taken a seemingly bipartisan issue and included
it as part of their scam to subsidize.

Speaker 7 (02:06:01):
Tax giveaway for billionaires.

Speaker 29 (02:06:03):
They haven't proposed anything that will improve the efficiency of
the government. Instead, they have put the country on a
path to a recession and implement it the largest tax
increase on Americans in decades through Trump's tariffs. This hearing
is their latest attempt to try to convince the American
people that dismantling public facing agencies will somehow improve government efficiency.

Speaker 7 (02:06:27):
Let me tell you it won't.

Speaker 29 (02:06:28):
There's nothing efficient about terminating leases for iris taxpayer assistance
centers during tax season, nor dismantling farmers support offices in
rural communities while farmers are trying to survive Trump's tariffs.
And just like their trade policy, there isn't any logic
or strategy behind the Trump administration's reductions in force or

(02:06:49):
accelerated disposal of federally owned property. It has been discussed
that managing federal property has been on GAO's high riskless
for more than two decades. Currently, GAO has almost sixty
recommendations that the administration could fully implement but decided to ignore.
And I'm gonna Veery off for two seconds, because all

(02:07:10):
I kept hearing was fire.

Speaker 7 (02:07:11):
Fire, firefire is what I heard. And as I heard fire.

Speaker 29 (02:07:15):
It seems like we are talking about an administration that
has been hell bent on firing government workers. They are
hell bent on engaging in fire sales of our government buildings,
and while we are at it, they are lighting the
Social Security on fire, Medicaid on fire, Medicare on fire,
four one ks on fire, Department of Education on fire.

Speaker 7 (02:07:39):
And instead what we need to light on fire are
Trump's tariffs.

Speaker 29 (02:07:44):
In fact, we could probably go a little bit further
and fire this incompetent administration. But if we are going
to talk about efficiency and worry about some solar panels whatevers,
let's talk about the fact that, as of March thirtieth,
Trump's golfing has cost us approximately twenty six million dollars

(02:08:07):
and the last time I check, we're not getting anything
in return for that. So I will get back on
my remarks, but I just wanted to point out that
maybe we need to talk about the president and his
golfing habits. In fact, he decided that he was going
to golf as the markets were taking He decided he
was going to golf. Instead of receiving for heroes who

(02:08:28):
died serving this country. He has decided that he wanted
to play games while the rest of us are really
trying to make sure that we can serve the American people.
So mister Maroney, you were quoted in the New York
Times article dated March seventeenth stating that it is important
for officials to have a plan to generate the most savings,
and that quote all of these moving parts point to

(02:08:50):
the need for some deliberate planning. Did the administration consult
with GAO regarding their plans to dispose of hundreds of
federally owned buildings?

Speaker 6 (02:08:59):
No.

Speaker 7 (02:09:00):
In your testimony, you.

Speaker 29 (02:09:01):
Highlight that one of the core issues associated with managing
federal property is the lack of reliable data to support
decision making.

Speaker 7 (02:09:08):
Is that correct?

Speaker 4 (02:09:09):
Yes?

Speaker 29 (02:09:10):
With reducing GSA's workforce by fifty percent improved data gathering
and analysis, I cannot say there that's perfectly fine. We
know that we need experts in not idiots. But mister Kendall,
we will move on. And your written testimony you state
some of the actions of this administration suggests that the

(02:09:30):
administration is not following a strategy designed to save taxpayer money,
and that the administration seems to ignore agency's mission integrity.

Speaker 7 (02:09:39):
Why do you think that? In the list twenty seconds
in a list of.

Speaker 32 (02:09:44):
Projects, there were a couple score Social Security offices IRS
taxpayer service offices, which those agencies, those end user agencies wanted,
and yet the administration is canceling those leases.

Speaker 21 (02:09:59):
So it it does imperil mission accomplishment.

Speaker 7 (02:10:02):
Thank you so much, ohe you back.

Speaker 6 (02:10:05):
She's right. Twenty six million dollars in the fly home
every weekend, and last weekend when those four soldiers their
bodies were returned to Dover, Donald Trump was playing in
a golf tournament at its course. That's who that punk is.
So that's what we're dealing with. We're dealing with a

(02:10:25):
golfing fanatic who's in the Oval office and every time
he flies, massive amounts of money being spent. It's costing
taxpayers three to four million dollars every single weekend. And
he had the audacity to complain about President Biden. That's
who he is, all right, folks, that is for us.

(02:10:47):
I staly appreciate y'all watching today's show. Thank you so
very much. We don't want to support the work that
we do. We don't get to have three to four
million dollars of government money coming our way like Donald
Trump does enriching himself. Your support is critical to our success.
