Speaker 3 (00:53):

Speaker 1 (00:55):
It's a person, but I need the this is this

it's teenagers. So just for the young girls, not just
for the young girls. Bro, since got a thirty four
triple D. I did not fit a thirty four triple T,
so I would like the size for the grown women.
(01:18):

don't know medium, I want a small. I want my
T shirt to look like this, but don't not exactly

Speaker 3 (01:32):

I wanted to I want it to look just like this,
but in.

Myself, my shirt is a little snug too. Please little snug.
You know what I'm saying. But it says the.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Thing it does. It says net in Yahoo is a
war criminal or Yahoo war criminal. That's what's up. Where
did you get that from?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
My man?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Shout out to my brother Larry. He was with a
guy who's he loves our work. You know what I'm saying.
He came up to me. It's like, yo, I got
this shirt for you. You know he was a revolutionary and
I've seen the show. Say Okay, yep, I'm winning it
tomorrow on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
We buy our podcast probably be off in the next
couple of days. Nothing around truth. It is go ahead
and get your yarn out. Yes, you know here they
come with.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Some what they're gonna say, it's the truth.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Many well, the the international courts have said that he
is committing war crymes. So there is that. Let's talk
about the thought of the day today. So sometimes people
send me, you know, on my algorithm, I don't see
(02:47):
half of the stuff that goes on on the Internet,
and that is a true testament to how much I
don't pay attention to it. I don't be clicking stuff.
I don't listen to all of these pages. Every now
and then I'll see myself tagged and then I'll go see,
you know, what is it? And if it's people talking
crazy about me, I'm like, God, bless you. I hope
you know whatever, say do your thing, whatever y'all want
(03:10):
to say, say it, because there's no way I can
fight every single person that has nothing to do but
to sit there and talk about me, because talking about
themselves it really isn't that interesting. So I don't really
get that. But every now and then a family member
of mine will send me, especially the ones that love mess.
(03:31):
Because you know a few of your family members they
love mess. They all day long. They can't wait. They
will send me clips. So someone sent me a clip
of another person saying that I don't have a job,
that I don't work anywhere, and therefore they're trying to
(03:51):
understand how I live the way that I live, why
I have the things that I have. Now, I have
never in my life gone to anybody's social media because
you don't know me, right, Like the individual I don't
even know this person's name. I've never met them in
my life, so they really don't know what I have, right.
For all they know, everything that you see on me
(04:14):
could be fake, Like I could be out here wearing
fake rolexes and fake I don't know, maybe they make
fake apple watches and fake diamonds and I could be
out here lab diamond up right, which nowadays they saying
that's not even fake. It's actually more environmentally friendly for
the minding and all the things that happen in order
(04:35):
to steal the resources to make the diamonds. But I'm
just saying I don't have that, right. I have worked
really hard on these no jobs to have the things
that I have, And you know, when I hear people
say that I don't have a job. They also say
you don't have a job. You don't have a job.
It's really interesting to me how on the internet, and
(05:00):
this is my thought of the day. It's really interesting
to me how many people are on the internet who
have real audiences, people who listen to them every day,
who believe that they are giving them some type of information,
and the individuals are actually flat out stupid, like they're dumb, completely, dumb,
(05:21):
completely and definitely they are using certain talking points even
if they know what they're saying is wrong. They're using
it because they know you're dumb because you're sitting up there. Well,
but they know you're sitting up there listening to them. Like,
it's no way that I'm gonna sit in front of
my computer or on my phone and watch an AI
(05:47):
person tell me anything about somebody real life stuff. I'm
just not gonna do that. Now. Well, I try to
research something, sure, but you're not gonna put a video
of an AI person in front of me and tell
me that I should listen to that about people that
it doesn't know. So that means that someone has trained
it with information, right. So it's like a Donald Trump
(06:13):
factor that when he said he likes the uneducated, the
under educated, people who ain't that bright like those are
his people. Yes, and I feel like YouTube and Instagram
in some of these places.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
It is a system.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
It's for the type of people that's just not that bright,
because it's absolutely crazy the things that people listen to
and the things that people say. So when folks say
I don't have a job, first of all, I am
not twenty five years old. I know I look twenty
five years old, right. I know I could go for
(06:49):
a young girl, But I am a grown ass woman, right,
who is surviving in the world with things that I own,
right decisions that I've made throughout my life that have
set me up for where I am now, and there
is more to come. So when people say I don't
have a job, they are very confused about what it
(07:11):
takes in order for to meek a Mallory to survive.
They're right, I don't have a government job or a
job at the hospital or you know, nine to five
or three to eleven, or I'm not a correction officer,
but I don't work in these places. I am what
it's called a natural born hustler. Every single day I
(07:36):
make it happen. How do I do that. Well, thank God,
I'm so glad you asked. God gave me a voice,
so I actually speak and people pay me to go
to colleges, institutions, corporations, corporations. They used to be a
little bit more like into me, and now I've just
(07:56):
become too radical. So it's rare, but sometimes really they
want people pay me to talk about the things that
I have learned in all the years that I've worked.
But you know what, because other people have never experienced that,
they can't even imagine that there are some of us
(08:18):
who are part of our income is actually going out
and training people and being a motivational speaker or a
person who is able to help people discern discern issues
that they are working on within their communities. That is
the thing that I do. Did you know that I
(08:39):
actually built help to build a program in New York
City called the Crisis Management System, which allots more than
one hundred million dollars to grassroots groups who do violence
prevention work. Guess what, Every now and then, more often
than not, people pay me a check to help them
(09:01):
figure out how to create that type of program in
their lives. You know, in their excuse me, how to
create those types of programs in their communities. People pay
me for that. Oh well, what else do you do? Well?
I just happened to have been in civil rights since
I was fourteen years old with a really like a
(09:23):
paid position where I've worked on campaigns from police accountability
to women's rights to violence intervention. Like I actually do
real things every single day, and it is not it
doesn't look like posting it all on social media, so
that every single second of everywhere that I'm working that
(09:44):
people can see is some of this stuff is actually done.
Like in offices. You know, they have places the buildings
that you go to where you check in and you
sit down and you work on things and you print
documents out and pass things over people, and they pay
you for your expertise. They pay you for program and
they pay you for organization. Oh they do that, Okay, cool?
(10:09):
Then you know what. I got this little thing and
you and I are in this together along with two
other individuals. It's called an organization, right, and the organization
is called Until Freedom. And guess what, it may not
be the most money, right, I make much more money
outside of Until Freedom. That is our passion work. That's
(10:33):
what we do every day because we believe in it.
But guess what, it pays a check every two weeks,
and it provides benefits that we didn't have for a
long time. So they would have been right if they
said we didn't have benefits. So it pays. It pays benefits, right,
and in order for us to have resources going into
until freedom. Sure they are individual donors, but guess what else,
(10:57):
we have programs that we run.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Really, we actually work run programs, right, We actually organized
major campaigns, you know we do.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
We do work, Yes, we do.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
So I don't know what it is. Oh, I left
off something. I also just happened to have two books,
just two books. And I don't know. Maybe in their
world people write books for free, for free and that
and by the way, that is a thing that there
are many people out here who have written books that
they've not been able to get published, or that they're
(11:33):
selling out the trunk of their car, and it's a
hustle and flow. God blessed me that my friend had
a publishing company right at the time, while every other
publishing house in the country was trying to get me
to write a book. They were all trying to get
me as a client. But I went with my friend,
which is Charlemagne to God at Black Privileged Publishing, and
(11:55):
I have a book deal. And guess what, and guess what, my.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Book can't go go out and get it right now.
You go and get it right now.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
And guess what.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
My book deal was a couple of dollars. It was
a couple of dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
So when people say that I don't have a job
at forty five years.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Old, it's just actually stupid.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
It is so. But it's people that cousin.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
But the thing is, the thing is, it's just for
the algorithm, right, it's people that want to discredit you,
you know, when they can't When people can't beat you,
they try to discredit you.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
They don't know how you do what you do every day?
They what do you do for a living? I got books?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
You're right, you have three books.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I actually have four books.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Oh you have four?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
For what?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Did I miss? Echoes in the Streets Okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
You're the first one that I know my rights. The
second one is Raising Kings of twelve Principles of Manhood.
And then they have two versions of Echoes in the Street.
We have a Newark version that is just specifically for Newark.
We have echoes of version that's just universal for everywhere.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
So when you sell a book, do you get money
for it? Yes, you do, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
And then what happens is schools bring you in to
teach some of those books, like my I Know My
Rights has been required reading in a lot of different schools.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
So a lot of schools.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Will pay you to come and teach certain principles inside
of the books.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
You know.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I've created programs inside the schools which you actually get
paid to do.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
They pay you to program.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Called from drill music to heal music, and which we
take the drill music beats in the feel of it,
but we take out the negativity. So it's no spending
and it's no killing, you know, none of that. We
just put real life situations. We take these young kids
from the communities who are englfed into street life and
we build It's like a mentorship, right, So we do
(13:52):
mentorship inside.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Somebody pays you to do that.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
I mean they pay you for programming, you know, So
you get paid for programming, you know.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
And then also I have I'm.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Raising Kings, which we actually do programming for right to
passage for young boys, and you get paid to do
those things.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
And then you have you have a job at us exactly.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
We actually have a store and me and my boy
Bronx logo stores.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
And people going to buy the oh wait. And then lastly,
do we have a podcast that actually where they pay.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
You we have paid actually have jobs.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I can't believe we have all of these jobs. I
have at least seven jobs, and I work every day
all day long. I work on projects every single day.
So when people say that I don't have.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
A job, it's the weirdest thing ever.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
And and what's what's worse is that the person who
sent me the clip of this this made up whatever
storyline they have on my life. The person who sent
it to me kind of was like, well, what do
you do? That's a family matter.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
But that's what they do, right, Because what happens is
it's people that silently hate a little bit. It's a
little bit of hate, you know, even in their friends,
because they say they sent it to you, Like, Yo,
somebody sent me this and I just look at it
and I'd be like, why don't you just ask me
the question?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
You know what I'm saying, because you sending me this.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
You're supposed to send it to me, like, Yo, this
is a bullshit, We don't send it to me, Like.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
No, they suggest that specific thing they said was. I
wanted to respond, but I couldn't really describe what you do.
And I'm just like, I've been touring the country with
a book since February that people buy the book. Call
it's not a free book. It's not a handbook that
(15:54):
is being given out for free. And guess what, people
paid me a nice amount of money to make the book,
and now people are buying the book. So I do
want to go back to because I know people would
like to turn like natural born hustler into a thing.
But my thought of the day today is that everybody
that's hustling is not doing it on the block. Everybody
(16:17):
that's hustling is not stealing from other people. There is
a such thing as a category of pustles who are
out here making it happen every single day without necessarily
having to check in, Like I don't have to go
punch a clock at a business. As you said, from
(16:38):
nine to five.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
We've created, we've made ourselves up brand. And when you
don't know what that is, it looks different.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Well for them, it looks like mess. See, that's the
thing they I don't know what jobs some of these
YouTube people and these folks online, I don't know what
job they have. Either it's that met in mess right you've.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Used, or somebody pays them to talk about other people
that they never seen and create.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
But if you look at people like me and you
feel like we're out here trying to do work on
behalf of our people, it doesn't feel like it can
be lucrative at all. Like in their mind it's like
you shouldn't. You're not allowed to have money anyway. You
should be broke, you should be busted, never gonna.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Happen, busted, you find five people you should never.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
I can't say it's never gonna happen because I asked
the Lord to please every single day. But I'm not
gonna sit there and roll over and just allow myself
not to you if I had to be a freaking
announcer that when you walk in and out of the
damn store, and I had to stand there and say
welcome to blah blah blah store, guess what I'll get
(17:52):
paid for that. But before I just laid in have
nothing and be calling other people borrowing and you know,
busted and dusted. I'm gonna use the things that God
gave me. When I was a little girl, they said
to meek Mallory talks too much. In school, every single day,
everybody said I talked too much. God allowed me to
use that talks too much as a way for me
(18:15):
to be able to turn a key in my house
and drive me a car, and have food in the
refrigerator and have things that I need in order to survive.
I am sorry that you are using your voice to
try to talk down on people that you do not know.
Bless you that the only way you can make money
(18:36):
is to talk about me and other people and to
spew a bunch of negativity and misinformation because you are
unable to use well they listen. Listen. You might not
see it as miss a lot of money, but if
they're getting two hundred dollars a week, that's two hundred
dollars more than they had the week before. So you
(18:58):
can't be counting how much money these people are making.
You can't do it. How you're gonna say what they
made anyway I have. You're right to mek A Mallory
does not have a job. To meek A Mallory has
many jobs, probably too many jobs. So why why worry
(19:19):
so much about what somebody else has? Anyway, I don't know.
I couldn't tell you.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I just don't. I've never been a pocket watcher, but
I just don't. I don't really care what you have.
Like like, that's never been a conversation. If I have
a conversation about something a person, they've done something or
said something that goes against what I believe morally, Well,
the work that we're doing is they've said something that
(19:49):
goes against the work that is gonna make the work
that we do harder. And I feel like you're in
opposition to work that we're doing.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
So when I have conversations, they say we are because
they say that we we are like we with the system,
we against the radical they not doing.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
As if you was doing the work right that you
say you were not doing, then you would know that
you ain't doing the work.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
If you were doing the work, you would realize that
the divisiveness and all of that is just you being
used as a tool in the master's toolbox to try
to keep us all separated. And I just wouldn't. I
won't participate in it. I'm not gonna ever, ever, ever
respond to anything that these people are saying on these
(20:39):
shows and doing interviews and trying to, you know, reply.
I did think it was important to say that, I,
you know, to talk about the having a job factor,
because there are other people in the world who I
feel like need to know that there is a way
that you can survive it. Ain't it What do they say,
(21:01):
don't try it at home, because it's not easy, but
it's doable. That you can do what you believe in
and still live a pretty decent life. Now, the thing
about it is that every day is threatened. Every day
you feel like, you know, depending on what's going on,
you might not be speaking this month. You know, depending
on what's happening, people may not like you. You may
(21:22):
not be the flavor of the month, and so you
have to constantly recreate and reposition yourself. And I think
it's also important to have products and products and services
and land and other things that we own that we
can always benefit from no matter what the temperature is
in the country, of whether they want you to speak
(21:44):
or whether they want you to appear. So I think
that those things are are very important, but we will
have to learn what it is to survive without necessarily
having a job at you know, the I don't know
whatever in my life, I'd be thinking to myself, I
wish I could go back and start all over again
(22:04):
and get me a job at the post office and
be because my people that worked at the post office
and my family, now they got their house that they own,
They paid off their house, they go on they little
two vacations a year, They got the nice car, they
have their situation set up, got a little bit of
nut that they living off of. They little money in
(22:25):
the bank. Boy, this life I live every day. Shoes
the post office sound real good. If I could go
back and start all over again. But now I wanted
to talk.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
That's your job.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Anyway, Moving along to your mine, Yo, speaking up, I
know one reason why I'm not gonna have any money.
I'm telling you right now that I am declaring truday.
I'm declaring today that another one of my jobs, since
you know, I need another job for people to feel
that I'm valid. It's going to be starting a campaign
(23:08):
against the transit authority, the poor authority in some states
around the country. I know New York. I'm gonna start
with New York and New Jersey. This has got it.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
No no no. First of all, I have an easy
pass in my car that never goes anywhere. It's there
all the time. I'm one of these people. Like what
my dad told me a long time ago, you need
to stop. When I left my job at nan, you know,
I didn't have any money to I was trying to
figure it out, like what's next, right, And so I
(23:44):
was telling my dad one day, like my easy paths bill,
this and that and the third and by the way,
since and my parents can attest to this, since I
left my job all those years ago, I have never
asked my parents to pay my bill. Was one time.
Every single day I had to figure out, as you
(24:05):
would say, how to get it out the mud every
single day of my life. But I surely will go
over there and sit down and complain, and they will
offer every time, you all, what can we do? My
father take money and throw it and run, so I
could take one hundred dollars, two hundred dollars or whatever
he's able to give to be supportive of me. And
(24:26):
I know they will tell you that they're proud that
their children are just not the type of people to
be asking them for anything. If anything, we do for
our parents no matter what our circumstances are. But anyho,
this particular day, I'm telling my dad, I'm like, Dad,
I'm just you know, the easy pass bill, the groceries,
(24:47):
that this or that. I don't know how all of
this is going to come together. And my Dad looked
at me and said, easy pass. I ain't no easy pass.
You need to just just take easy pass off the list,
Like why would you go through the toll especially to
go from the Bronx to Manhattan when all you gotta
do is go all around? Ain't no told, just don't
(25:09):
even think about that anymore. And it's funny today, but
that's the way I travel. These are the things that
I work hard to be able to afford myself that
I don't got to take the extra twelve minutes to
go all around when I could just cut through using
the toe right, and so, and I'm saying this to
say to you, my toe, I mean, my easy pass
(25:29):
is always present. I don't take it here. And in
the third place, we roll with the easy pass every
single day. So I have no idea why New Jersey
is saying that I did not pay a five dollars toll.
I don't even know how that's possible because the toll
thing is right there waiting for you. But okay, so
(25:51):
they say I didn't pay a five dollars twenty five
cent toll in June. But then it says that the
bill is fifty five dollars and twenty five cent. Lord,
so fifty dollars up. That is the administrative fee that
they are charging you for whatever whatever. I don't even
(26:14):
know their fee, the New Jersey Transit Authority fee.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
No, no, no, that is it is not it's it's unreal.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Now it's five hundred that's a five hundred percent increase.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
This this unbelievab this, But they do that, I'm telling
you they they do that.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Shit. They Your easy pass is the biggest scam.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Move we've talked about before our life.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Like going back and forth to your like, I'll be
looking at my easy pass and then what you do.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
What they do is if you have a threshold, right,
if you if you.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Pay them, if you don't have automatic pay, they give
you a threshold and they tell you to order for
you to to re up, you have to pay a
certain amount. So if they see that you're going through
easy Pass, probably about sixty seven times, and they be
like your automatically, so it should be about two hundred dollars.
So now as soon as you get to two hundred,
(27:09):
they start saying you start going through it says low
as low as low, and then they won't. They tell
you that you have to put two hundred or three,
and then it keeps going up. If you go extra
one or two more times, then it goes up to
three and four hundred. Like my thing was at a
four and five hundred thirty. And I'm not paying that.
It's like, y'all bugget, I'm gonna keep giving you too,
like you gotta.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Go when they get to two hundred hours, I'm not
gonna make it. But you can them and tell them.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
But they serious, they do anything that scam you.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
But it's but but my sign, what I'm saying is
the ticket the toll that they claim, which by the way, again,
my easy Pass is present all the time. But for
whatever reason, the thing didn't detect it somehow. You know,
I'm not perfect. I could have gone I don't know.
(27:56):
I don't know, because I'm about to make up a
story for how easy Passed picks up everything else except
this one particular toll for five dollars twenty five cent.
And you're telling me that the administrative fee is fifty dollars.
That is out of control. And I'm telling you, I
am going to spend whatever little bit of time I
(28:18):
have left of my seven jobs trying to figure out
what we are going to do, because we need to
be electing people into position who fight against that ship.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Because is way too many tolls, Like especially when you
go on Jersey, they got like ten told you go through,
you go through the George Washington to turn a.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Term, George Washington.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
You don't pay right, No, when you get when you
come out, when you come out right, So what happens
is once you get in there, you stop. When you
get on a turnpike, every exit is a toll. You
got to pay to get back on a turnpike, you
gotta pay. Then you got to pay the major the
thing when you go to.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
New Jersey and now they got the city tax again
that you pay the congestion.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Well, I mean, and I'm just saying no, I'm saying,
I'm serious, like I have intention, serious intentions of helping
to build, even if it's a small cohort of people
who focus on this issue, because it is not acceptable
that we are paying this type of money for people
(29:24):
cannot afford that you make a.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Mistake like why it's just like green, it's literally discreet.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
I see, I can see five dollars the administrative feat.
I only it should never be more than the actual
cost of the things that you're big.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
Listen to me, for you to have gas lighting gas
the bill could be two hundred dollars, but just the taxes,
it's almost two hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Well, I don't yes, I'm telling you that I looked
at my bill, and the bill said it was two
hundred dollars, and then the taxes and fees attached to
it was almost two hundred dollars. So the taxes and
fees was almost as much as just what you use
for the bill. And it's that it doesn't even make sense.
It's unreal the way they're taxing us and the way
(30:19):
that they like what you just said, that's pretty much
just taxes and fees that they taken. That's five hundred
times what you're actually paying, like five dollars that goes to.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Fifty that's not it's not acceptable, it's not sustainable. And no,
it's people can't afford. I know people who've had to
take their cars off the road because of the easy
pass issues and the toll. And I'm saying that I'm
not I can understand if these people, because you know Jersey,
going back and forth to Jersey, I do that often.
(30:49):
Probably that's probably the direction I travel the most where
I pay a toll is in New Jersey. So my
thing is if I was a repeat offender, like if
they looked at mid count and they said, this is
you know, all year long, she's just blowing through these toes,
not doing whatever. So now we're going to institute fees
on top of it. But for one time, for five
(31:12):
dollars and twenty five cent, is no way that I
should be getting a bill for fifty five dollars and
twenty It's no way. It's you can't even say, well,
it's to deter because by because it's it's too wrong,
because because if the deterrence don't even make sense to me,
because my easy pass is available all the time, So
what would make you now.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
That means wrong is that y'all did say it wrong,
and now I have to not.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Only waste my day.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Yeah, it's crazy, it's it's unreal.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Waste my day. Another thing that happened to me is
that my license plate, like one of the letters is distorted.
Now I ordered the new license plate and the people
says six to eight weeks. Granted I will. I have
to say that I did not know, oh, that all
of this was going on where you got to get
your license plates fixed in a certain amount of time
(32:05):
because the state was making it. Basically, you know, an
infraction not to have your license plate straight the plate itself,
because all my other my shit is together. But I'm
just saying that particular part. I did not know that.
So I found out one day. I look up and
I'm like, oh, this is a big thing. So I
went to try to order it. It's six to eight weeks.
Every other day people want to give you a ticket.
(32:27):
Br like, I can't make these people send these plates
here before the six to eight weeks. Like, y'all, we
have to stop. We are literally living in an environment
where people are just being choked and suffocated from all
of the freaking money, and this the nad. You go
to the grocery store, you got one hundred dollars, you
can only get like one meal. I mean, it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
It was the weirdest.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
I went to the supermarket to buy watermelon, and they
had the little bucket like this little round bowl, and
it was ten dollars. Yeah, and it probably had about
ten slices.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
You, no, it's not.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
It probably was ten to fifteen slices. I swear to
everything I love it was ten dollars. I said, how
are we support I would would too, would listen to yo.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I'm telling you Jan is over there, like yup, I'm
telling you.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Ten slices in there, maybe fifteen. And I'm not even exaggerating.
It was ten dollars. I couldn't even believe it. I
looked at it.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Watermelon is expensive, yo.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
I could not believe that it cost them. And then
I brought two hundred dollars worth of groceries and I
had one bag.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Well, you know, watermelon in and of itself. The season
is out too, so they gonna rob you for all
they could get today it's the summer time and people
are traveling. We had a guess, but I guess canceled
and so they weren't able to make it today, but
(33:51):
we will be bringing them back really really soon. So
I guess we're kind of like on the summer. I
am on a break. I am trying to be on
a break. I can't believe that y'all still be calling
me asking me where is this? And you know what,
Samil's trying to reach me to know how to travel
September and the Congressional Black the Professional Black Caucust Conference.
(34:15):
Are y'all kidding me?
Speaker 3 (34:16):
You know what your job?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
No, no, no, no, everybody needs a break with the
job from the job. But we have seven jobs. It
all overlaps.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
No.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
I can't believe it. I can't believe La Toya calls
me tomorrow. Oh the YouTube, I don't even run YouTube.
That's your job. Why y'all calling me. I'm on a break.
I'm watching shows with my granddaughters, me and her doing
toesy toes together. I don't want to. I don't want
to talk to y'all about no work.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
You got to because it's part of the job that
you got, you know, part of the jobsites they go
call you and ask you some question.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
So for my I don't get it. Donald J.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Trump hm hmm has effectively pressured to somebody else. Oh lord,
you know, because this is what he does. He pushes,
He puts a strong on game. That that's one thing
nobody can deny. Donald Trump strong arms people, and he
has strong arms the Smithsonian into allegedly, allegedly into erasing
(35:24):
the reality of his two impeachments from the exhibit where
inside the Smithsonian his two impeachments are going to be.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Erased, right, but they said I did read this. They
said they're gonna put it back later.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (35:41):
When?
Speaker 3 (35:42):
When is later?
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Later on? Like maybe when he's not president anymore. I
don't know when they said it's gonna be, but it
said later.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
So you're gonna erase the felonies that he got.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
That so you're gonna rage. You're gonna raise his impeachments,
his story. Nobody gonna raised my felony.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
I gotta walk around here with felon needs that I
ain't even do running around and his impeachments is documented.
The only president in history to be in peace twice
is Donald J.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Trump. And you're sure about that? Yes, how do we
know only president to be in peach twice twice.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Others have been impeached once because I think Bill Clinton
was impeached for his scam.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
People who have been impeached with only president being peach
twice and have thirty four felamis never in the history
of never Dom has that ever happened.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
And so his impeachments right are not going to be listed,
which again they said they're gonna put it back later,
but they taking it down for now. So that means
that the Smithsonian can't necessarily be trusted because they're not
telling the full truth.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
But I'm trying to tell you there's no checks. Nobody
can be trusted at this point. Anybody who who is
dealing with Donald.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Trump as being influenced.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Yeah, you know, if you're with Donald Trump is crooked.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
No don't my sign you cannot say, but not dealing
with you listen.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
To me, because listen to me. Every deal that he
seems to have is crooked. It is money that you
paid is because you don't want him to do is.
There's no just straight up business deal with him. There
is always some crooked shit that goes along with it.
He wants to be able to control what you say.
He wants to be able to control what you do.
(37:29):
There is no deal that's just done on the merits.
With his checks and balances. He has complete oversight on
any deal that he does. And that's why you know it.
Like when you look at the people that's doing the
ice deals, they understand that he has this foot on
your neck.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
Once he does he's doing the deal. Like just what
he's doing.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
With the colleges, they're gonna say, we want to get
this money, and we need this money, and he's going
to bleed everything we have. He's taking away all the
funded he's taking away. I don't all type of shit
is happening. All of these deals are crooked. It's no
deal done on good marriage.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Well, I'm just saying I don't think everybody that deals
with Donald Trump is crooked. But all that Donald all
that Donald Trump's business is, it's it's I don't know,
I don't I don't want to use the right. Yeah,
it's very illegitimate, and I think that it is really
(38:21):
sad when the institutions that you know already, people question everything.
People people don't believe anything you telling them that that
shirt is gray. They're like I think it was the lighting.
I'm not sure. I can't you know, I can't see
gray for myself. Because folks are so distrusting of systems.
(38:42):
They don't believe what is being told to them, and
they have every right to feel that way. Now, on
top of that, we're in a situation where he can
just drop a dime on somebody and they will change
history in something like a museum, something that is supposed
to have history down to the actual facts. And to
(39:03):
say that we're no longer going to be able to
go in and read the truth, and it's stuff that's omitted,
like the fact that the president is two times impeached.
That's crazy to me. But they say they're gonna put
it back later, so I have a good day. I'm
going back on break.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
It's very terrible, you know, we living in times of anarchy.
This is complete anarchy.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Like I just I've authoritarianism.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
I have yet to see something like this, and I
feel like on my stress level, behind is thinking about it.
You know, they say ignorance is bliss, And sometimes when
I'm just sitting and I'm just relaxing, I'm just thinking
about shit that's going on. I'm like this can't really
be going on. And as you get older and you
start knowing things, it just bothers you. That's why a
(39:50):
lot of elderly people be like, they don't want to
they don't fuck with nothing.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
They'd be ready to go.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
No, oh my god, I have to be done with
this show.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
They'll be ready to go.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Because it's like, you know, it don't make no more
sense to me, no more man, It's just be a
little It's very weird, man, the times that we live
in it.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Please don't let this man set up here. They be
ready to go.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
They ready to go good night.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
But I know a lot of elderly people when they
get to like eighty nine, they be like, ain't nothing
here for me. I don't even understand the ship y'all
got going on here, my friends. The two people are
like they not and I get it.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (40:26):

Shout out to my brother Larry. He was with a
guy who's he loves our work. You know what I'm saying.
He came up to me. It's like, yo, I got
this shirt for you. You know he was a revolutionary and
I've seen the show. Say Okay, yep, I'm winning it
tomorrow on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
We buy our podcast probably be off in the next
couple of days. Nothing around truth. It is go ahead
and get your yarn out. Yes, you know here they
come with.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Some what they're gonna say, it's the truth.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Many well, the the international courts have said that he
is committing war crymes. So there is that. Let's talk
about the thought of the day today. So sometimes people
send me, you know, on my algorithm, I don't see
(02:47):
half of the stuff that goes on on the Internet,
and that is a true testament to how much I
don't pay attention to it. I don't be clicking stuff.
I don't listen to all of these pages. Every now
and then I'll see myself tagged and then I'll go see,
you know, what is it? And if it's people talking
crazy about me, I'm like, God, bless you. I hope
you know whatever, say do your thing, whatever y'all want
(03:10):
to say, say it, because there's no way I can
fight every single person that has nothing to do but
to sit there and talk about me, because talking about
themselves it really isn't that interesting. So I don't really
get that. But every now and then a family member
of mine will send me, especially the ones that love mess.
(03:31):
Because you know a few of your family members they
love mess. They all day long. They can't wait. They
will send me clips. So someone sent me a clip
of another person saying that I don't have a job,
that I don't work anywhere, and therefore they're trying to
(03:51):
understand how I live the way that I live, why
I have the things that I have. Now, I have
never in my life gone to anybody's social media because
you don't know me, right, Like the individual I don't
even know this person's name. I've never met them in
my life, so they really don't know what I have, right.
For all they know, everything that you see on me
(04:14):
could be fake, Like I could be out here wearing
fake rolexes and fake I don't know, maybe they make
fake apple watches and fake diamonds and I could be
out here lab diamond up right, which nowadays they saying
that's not even fake. It's actually more environmentally friendly for
the minding and all the things that happen in order
(04:35):
to steal the resources to make the diamonds. But I'm
just saying I don't have that, right. I have worked
really hard on these no jobs to have the things
that I have, And you know, when I hear people
say that I don't have a job. They also say
you don't have a job. You don't have a job.
It's really interesting to me how on the internet, and
(05:00):
this is my thought of the day. It's really interesting
to me how many people are on the internet who
have real audiences, people who listen to them every day,
who believe that they are giving them some type of information,
and the individuals are actually flat out stupid, like they're dumb, completely, dumb,
(05:21):
completely and definitely they are using certain talking points even
if they know what they're saying is wrong. They're using
it because they know you're dumb because you're sitting up there. Well,
but they know you're sitting up there listening to them. Like,
it's no way that I'm gonna sit in front of
my computer or on my phone and watch an AI
(05:47):
person tell me anything about somebody real life stuff. I'm
just not gonna do that. Now. Well, I try to
research something, sure, but you're not gonna put a video
of an AI person in front of me and tell
me that I should listen to that about people that
it doesn't know. So that means that someone has trained
it with information, right. So it's like a Donald Trump
(06:13):
factor that when he said he likes the uneducated, the
under educated, people who ain't that bright like those are
his people. Yes, and I feel like YouTube and Instagram
in some of these places.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
It is a system.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
It's for the type of people that's just not that bright,
because it's absolutely crazy the things that people listen to
and the things that people say. So when folks say
I don't have a job, first of all, I am
not twenty five years old. I know I look twenty
five years old, right. I know I could go for
(06:49):
a young girl, But I am a grown ass woman, right,
who is surviving in the world with things that I own,
right decisions that I've made throughout my life that have
set me up for where I am now, and there
is more to come. So when people say I don't
have a job, they are very confused about what it
(07:11):
takes in order for to meek a Mallory to survive.
They're right, I don't have a government job or a
job at the hospital or you know, nine to five
or three to eleven, or I'm not a correction officer,
but I don't work in these places. I am what
it's called a natural born hustler. Every single day I
(07:36):
make it happen. How do I do that. Well, thank God,
I'm so glad you asked. God gave me a voice,
so I actually speak and people pay me to go
to colleges, institutions, corporations, corporations. They used to be a
little bit more like into me, and now I've just
(07:56):
become too radical. So it's rare, but sometimes really they
want people pay me to talk about the things that
I have learned in all the years that I've worked.
But you know what, because other people have never experienced that,
they can't even imagine that there are some of us
(08:18):
who are part of our income is actually going out
and training people and being a motivational speaker or a
person who is able to help people discern discern issues
that they are working on within their communities. That is
the thing that I do. Did you know that I
(08:39):
actually built help to build a program in New York
City called the Crisis Management System, which allots more than
one hundred million dollars to grassroots groups who do violence
prevention work. Guess what, Every now and then, more often
than not, people pay me a check to help them
(09:01):
figure out how to create that type of program in
their lives. You know, in their excuse me, how to
create those types of programs in their communities. People pay
me for that. Oh well, what else do you do? Well?
I just happened to have been in civil rights since
I was fourteen years old with a really like a
(09:23):
paid position where I've worked on campaigns from police accountability
to women's rights to violence intervention. Like I actually do
real things every single day, and it is not it
doesn't look like posting it all on social media, so
that every single second of everywhere that I'm working that
(09:44):
people can see is some of this stuff is actually done.
Like in offices. You know, they have places the buildings
that you go to where you check in and you
sit down and you work on things and you print
documents out and pass things over people, and they pay
you for your expertise. They pay you for program and
they pay you for organization. Oh they do that, Okay, cool?
(10:09):
Then you know what. I got this little thing and
you and I are in this together along with two
other individuals. It's called an organization, right, and the organization
is called Until Freedom. And guess what, it may not
be the most money, right, I make much more money
outside of Until Freedom. That is our passion work. That's
(10:33):
what we do every day because we believe in it.
But guess what, it pays a check every two weeks,
and it provides benefits that we didn't have for a
long time. So they would have been right if they
said we didn't have benefits. So it pays. It pays benefits, right,
and in order for us to have resources going into
until freedom. Sure they are individual donors, but guess what else,
(10:57):
we have programs that we run.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Really, we actually work run programs, right, We actually organized
major campaigns, you know we do.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
We do work, Yes, we do.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
So I don't know what it is. Oh, I left
off something. I also just happened to have two books,
just two books. And I don't know. Maybe in their
world people write books for free, for free and that
and by the way, that is a thing that there
are many people out here who have written books that
they've not been able to get published, or that they're
(11:33):
selling out the trunk of their car, and it's a
hustle and flow. God blessed me that my friend had
a publishing company right at the time, while every other
publishing house in the country was trying to get me
to write a book. They were all trying to get
me as a client. But I went with my friend,
which is Charlemagne to God at Black Privileged Publishing, and
(11:55):
I have a book deal. And guess what, and guess what, my.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Book can't go go out and get it right now.
You go and get it right now.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
And guess what.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
My book deal was a couple of dollars. It was
a couple of dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
So when people say that I don't have a job
at forty five years.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Old, it's just actually stupid.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
It is so. But it's people that cousin.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
But the thing is, the thing is, it's just for
the algorithm, right, it's people that want to discredit you,
you know, when they can't When people can't beat you,
they try to discredit you.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
They don't know how you do what you do every day?
They what do you do for a living? I got books?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
You're right, you have three books.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I actually have four books.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Oh you have four?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
For what?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Did I miss? Echoes in the Streets Okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
You're the first one that I know my rights. The
second one is Raising Kings of twelve Principles of Manhood.
And then they have two versions of Echoes in the Street.
We have a Newark version that is just specifically for Newark.
We have echoes of version that's just universal for everywhere.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
So when you sell a book, do you get money
for it? Yes, you do, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
And then what happens is schools bring you in to
teach some of those books, like my I Know My
Rights has been required reading in a lot of different schools.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
So a lot of schools.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Will pay you to come and teach certain principles inside
of the books.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
You know.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I've created programs inside the schools which you actually get
paid to do.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
They pay you to program.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Called from drill music to heal music, and which we
take the drill music beats in the feel of it,
but we take out the negativity. So it's no spending
and it's no killing, you know, none of that. We
just put real life situations. We take these young kids
from the communities who are englfed into street life and
we build It's like a mentorship, right, So we do
(13:52):
mentorship inside.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Somebody pays you to do that.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
I mean they pay you for programming, you know, So
you get paid for programming, you know.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
And then also I have I'm.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Raising Kings, which we actually do programming for right to
passage for young boys, and you get paid to do
those things.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
And then you have you have a job at us exactly.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
We actually have a store and me and my boy
Bronx logo stores.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
And people going to buy the oh wait. And then lastly,
do we have a podcast that actually where they pay.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
You we have paid actually have jobs.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I can't believe we have all of these jobs. I
have at least seven jobs, and I work every day
all day long. I work on projects every single day.
So when people say that I don't have.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
A job, it's the weirdest thing ever.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
And and what's what's worse is that the person who
sent me the clip of this this made up whatever
storyline they have on my life. The person who sent
it to me kind of was like, well, what do
you do? That's a family matter.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
But that's what they do, right, Because what happens is
it's people that silently hate a little bit. It's a
little bit of hate, you know, even in their friends,
because they say they sent it to you, Like, Yo,
somebody sent me this and I just look at it
and I'd be like, why don't you just ask me
the question?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
You know what I'm saying, because you sending me this.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
You're supposed to send it to me, like, Yo, this
is a bullshit, We don't send it to me, Like.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
No, they suggest that specific thing they said was. I
wanted to respond, but I couldn't really describe what you do.
And I'm just like, I've been touring the country with
a book since February that people buy the book. Call
it's not a free book. It's not a handbook that
(15:54):
is being given out for free. And guess what, people
paid me a nice amount of money to make the book,
and now people are buying the book. So I do
want to go back to because I know people would
like to turn like natural born hustler into a thing.
But my thought of the day today is that everybody
that's hustling is not doing it on the block. Everybody
(16:17):
that's hustling is not stealing from other people. There is
a such thing as a category of pustles who are
out here making it happen every single day without necessarily
having to check in, Like I don't have to go
punch a clock at a business. As you said, from
(16:38):
nine to five.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
We've created, we've made ourselves up brand. And when you
don't know what that is, it looks different.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Well for them, it looks like mess. See, that's the
thing they I don't know what jobs some of these
YouTube people and these folks online, I don't know what
job they have. Either it's that met in mess right you've.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Used, or somebody pays them to talk about other people
that they never seen and create.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
But if you look at people like me and you
feel like we're out here trying to do work on
behalf of our people, it doesn't feel like it can
be lucrative at all. Like in their mind it's like
you shouldn't. You're not allowed to have money anyway. You
should be broke, you should be busted, never gonna.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Happen, busted, you find five people you should never.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
I can't say it's never gonna happen because I asked
the Lord to please every single day. But I'm not
gonna sit there and roll over and just allow myself
not to you if I had to be a freaking
announcer that when you walk in and out of the
damn store, and I had to stand there and say
welcome to blah blah blah store, guess what I'll get
(17:52):
paid for that. But before I just laid in have
nothing and be calling other people borrowing and you know,
busted and dusted. I'm gonna use the things that God
gave me. When I was a little girl, they said
to meek Mallory talks too much. In school, every single day,
everybody said I talked too much. God allowed me to
use that talks too much as a way for me
(18:15):
to be able to turn a key in my house
and drive me a car, and have food in the
refrigerator and have things that I need in order to survive.
I am sorry that you are using your voice to
try to talk down on people that you do not know.
Bless you that the only way you can make money
(18:36):
is to talk about me and other people and to
spew a bunch of negativity and misinformation because you are
unable to use well they listen. Listen. You might not
see it as miss a lot of money, but if
they're getting two hundred dollars a week, that's two hundred
dollars more than they had the week before. So you
(18:58):
can't be counting how much money these people are making.
You can't do it. How you're gonna say what they
made anyway I have. You're right to mek A Mallory
does not have a job. To meek A Mallory has
many jobs, probably too many jobs. So why why worry
(19:19):
so much about what somebody else has? Anyway, I don't know.
I couldn't tell you.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I just don't. I've never been a pocket watcher, but
I just don't. I don't really care what you have.
Like like, that's never been a conversation. If I have
a conversation about something a person, they've done something or
said something that goes against what I believe morally, Well,
the work that we're doing is they've said something that
(19:49):
goes against the work that is gonna make the work
that we do harder. And I feel like you're in
opposition to work that we're doing.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
So when I have conversations, they say we are because
they say that we we are like we with the system,
we against the radical they not doing.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
As if you was doing the work right that you
say you were not doing, then you would know that
you ain't doing the work.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
If you were doing the work, you would realize that
the divisiveness and all of that is just you being
used as a tool in the master's toolbox to try
to keep us all separated. And I just wouldn't. I
won't participate in it. I'm not gonna ever, ever, ever
respond to anything that these people are saying on these
(20:39):
shows and doing interviews and trying to, you know, reply.
I did think it was important to say that, I,
you know, to talk about the having a job factor,
because there are other people in the world who I
feel like need to know that there is a way
that you can survive it. Ain't it What do they say,
(21:01):
don't try it at home, because it's not easy, but
it's doable. That you can do what you believe in
and still live a pretty decent life. Now, the thing
about it is that every day is threatened. Every day
you feel like, you know, depending on what's going on,
you might not be speaking this month. You know, depending
on what's happening, people may not like you. You may
(21:22):
not be the flavor of the month, and so you
have to constantly recreate and reposition yourself. And I think
it's also important to have products and products and services
and land and other things that we own that we
can always benefit from no matter what the temperature is
in the country, of whether they want you to speak
(21:44):
or whether they want you to appear. So I think
that those things are are very important, but we will
have to learn what it is to survive without necessarily
having a job at you know, the I don't know
whatever in my life, I'd be thinking to myself, I
wish I could go back and start all over again
(22:04):
and get me a job at the post office and
be because my people that worked at the post office
and my family, now they got their house that they own,
They paid off their house, they go on they little
two vacations a year, They got the nice car, they
have their situation set up, got a little bit of
nut that they living off of. They little money in
(22:25):
the bank. Boy, this life I live every day. Shoes
the post office sound real good. If I could go
back and start all over again. But now I wanted
to talk.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
That's your job.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Anyway, Moving along to your mine, Yo, speaking up, I
know one reason why I'm not gonna have any money.
I'm telling you right now that I am declaring truday.
I'm declaring today that another one of my jobs, since
you know, I need another job for people to feel
that I'm valid. It's going to be starting a campaign
(23:08):
against the transit authority, the poor authority in some states
around the country. I know New York. I'm gonna start
with New York and New Jersey. This has got it.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
No no no. First of all, I have an easy
pass in my car that never goes anywhere. It's there
all the time. I'm one of these people. Like what
my dad told me a long time ago, you need
to stop. When I left my job at nan, you know,
I didn't have any money to I was trying to
figure it out, like what's next, right, And so I
(23:44):
was telling my dad one day, like my easy paths bill,
this and that and the third and by the way,
since and my parents can attest to this, since I
left my job all those years ago, I have never
asked my parents to pay my bill. Was one time.
Every single day I had to figure out, as you
(24:05):
would say, how to get it out the mud every
single day of my life. But I surely will go
over there and sit down and complain, and they will
offer every time, you all, what can we do? My
father take money and throw it and run, so I
could take one hundred dollars, two hundred dollars or whatever
he's able to give to be supportive of me. And
(24:26):
I know they will tell you that they're proud that
their children are just not the type of people to
be asking them for anything. If anything, we do for
our parents no matter what our circumstances are. But anyho,
this particular day, I'm telling my dad, I'm like, Dad,
I'm just you know, the easy pass bill, the groceries,
(24:47):
that this or that. I don't know how all of
this is going to come together. And my Dad looked
at me and said, easy pass. I ain't no easy pass.
You need to just just take easy pass off the list,
Like why would you go through the toll especially to
go from the Bronx to Manhattan when all you gotta
do is go all around? Ain't no told, just don't
(25:09):
even think about that anymore. And it's funny today, but
that's the way I travel. These are the things that
I work hard to be able to afford myself that
I don't got to take the extra twelve minutes to
go all around when I could just cut through using
the toe right, and so, and I'm saying this to
say to you, my toe, I mean, my easy pass
(25:29):
is always present. I don't take it here. And in
the third place, we roll with the easy pass every
single day. So I have no idea why New Jersey
is saying that I did not pay a five dollars toll.
I don't even know how that's possible because the toll
thing is right there waiting for you. But okay, so
(25:51):
they say I didn't pay a five dollars twenty five
cent toll in June. But then it says that the
bill is fifty five dollars and twenty five cent. Lord,
so fifty dollars up. That is the administrative fee that
they are charging you for whatever whatever. I don't even
(26:14):
know their fee, the New Jersey Transit Authority fee.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
No, no, no, that is it is not it's it's unreal.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Now it's five hundred that's a five hundred percent increase.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
This this unbelievab this, But they do that, I'm telling
you they they do that.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Shit. They Your easy pass is the biggest scam.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Move we've talked about before our life.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Like going back and forth to your like, I'll be
looking at my easy pass and then what you do.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
What they do is if you have a threshold, right,
if you if you.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Pay them, if you don't have automatic pay, they give
you a threshold and they tell you to order for
you to to re up, you have to pay a
certain amount. So if they see that you're going through
easy Pass, probably about sixty seven times, and they be
like your automatically, so it should be about two hundred dollars.
So now as soon as you get to two hundred,
(27:09):
they start saying you start going through it says low
as low as low, and then they won't. They tell
you that you have to put two hundred or three,
and then it keeps going up. If you go extra
one or two more times, then it goes up to
three and four hundred. Like my thing was at a
four and five hundred thirty. And I'm not paying that.
It's like, y'all bugget, I'm gonna keep giving you too,
like you gotta.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Go when they get to two hundred hours, I'm not
gonna make it. But you can them and tell them.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
But they serious, they do anything that scam you.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
But it's but but my sign, what I'm saying is
the ticket the toll that they claim, which by the way, again,
my easy Pass is present all the time. But for
whatever reason, the thing didn't detect it somehow. You know,
I'm not perfect. I could have gone I don't know.
(27:56):
I don't know, because I'm about to make up a
story for how easy Passed picks up everything else except
this one particular toll for five dollars twenty five cent.
And you're telling me that the administrative fee is fifty dollars.
That is out of control. And I'm telling you, I
am going to spend whatever little bit of time I
(28:18):
have left of my seven jobs trying to figure out
what we are going to do, because we need to
be electing people into position who fight against that ship.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Because is way too many tolls, Like especially when you
go on Jersey, they got like ten told you go through,
you go through the George Washington to turn a.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Term, George Washington.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
You don't pay right, No, when you get when you
come out, when you come out right, So what happens
is once you get in there, you stop. When you
get on a turnpike, every exit is a toll. You
got to pay to get back on a turnpike, you
gotta pay. Then you got to pay the major the
thing when you go to.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
New Jersey and now they got the city tax again
that you pay the congestion.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Well, I mean, and I'm just saying no, I'm saying,
I'm serious, like I have intention, serious intentions of helping
to build, even if it's a small cohort of people
who focus on this issue, because it is not acceptable
that we are paying this type of money for people
(29:24):
cannot afford that you make a.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Mistake like why it's just like green, it's literally discreet.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
I see, I can see five dollars the administrative feat.
I only it should never be more than the actual
cost of the things that you're big.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
Listen to me, for you to have gas lighting gas
the bill could be two hundred dollars, but just the taxes,
it's almost two hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Well, I don't yes, I'm telling you that I looked
at my bill, and the bill said it was two
hundred dollars, and then the taxes and fees attached to
it was almost two hundred dollars. So the taxes and
fees was almost as much as just what you use
for the bill. And it's that it doesn't even make sense.
It's unreal the way they're taxing us and the way
(30:19):
that they like what you just said, that's pretty much
just taxes and fees that they taken. That's five hundred
times what you're actually paying, like five dollars that goes to.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Fifty that's not it's not acceptable, it's not sustainable. And no,
it's people can't afford. I know people who've had to
take their cars off the road because of the easy
pass issues and the toll. And I'm saying that I'm
not I can understand if these people, because you know Jersey,
going back and forth to Jersey, I do that often.
(30:49):
Probably that's probably the direction I travel the most where
I pay a toll is in New Jersey. So my
thing is if I was a repeat offender, like if
they looked at mid count and they said, this is
you know, all year long, she's just blowing through these toes,
not doing whatever. So now we're going to institute fees
on top of it. But for one time, for five
(31:12):
dollars and twenty five cent, is no way that I
should be getting a bill for fifty five dollars and
twenty It's no way. It's you can't even say, well,
it's to deter because by because it's it's too wrong,
because because if the deterrence don't even make sense to me,
because my easy pass is available all the time, So
what would make you now.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
That means wrong is that y'all did say it wrong,
and now I have to not.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Only waste my day.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Yeah, it's crazy, it's it's unreal.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Waste my day. Another thing that happened to me is
that my license plate, like one of the letters is distorted.
Now I ordered the new license plate and the people
says six to eight weeks. Granted I will. I have
to say that I did not know, oh, that all
of this was going on where you got to get
your license plates fixed in a certain amount of time
(32:05):
because the state was making it. Basically, you know, an
infraction not to have your license plate straight the plate itself,
because all my other my shit is together. But I'm
just saying that particular part. I did not know that.
So I found out one day. I look up and
I'm like, oh, this is a big thing. So I
went to try to order it. It's six to eight weeks.
Every other day people want to give you a ticket.
(32:27):
Br like, I can't make these people send these plates
here before the six to eight weeks. Like, y'all, we
have to stop. We are literally living in an environment
where people are just being choked and suffocated from all
of the freaking money, and this the nad. You go
to the grocery store, you got one hundred dollars, you
can only get like one meal. I mean, it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
It was the weirdest.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
I went to the supermarket to buy watermelon, and they
had the little bucket like this little round bowl, and
it was ten dollars. Yeah, and it probably had about
ten slices.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
You, no, it's not.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
It probably was ten to fifteen slices. I swear to
everything I love it was ten dollars. I said, how
are we support I would would too, would listen to yo.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I'm telling you Jan is over there, like yup, I'm
telling you.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Ten slices in there, maybe fifteen. And I'm not even exaggerating.
It was ten dollars. I couldn't even believe it. I
looked at it.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Watermelon is expensive, yo.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
I could not believe that it cost them. And then
I brought two hundred dollars worth of groceries and I
had one bag.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Well, you know, watermelon in and of itself. The season
is out too, so they gonna rob you for all
they could get today it's the summer time and people
are traveling. We had a guess, but I guess canceled
and so they weren't able to make it today, but
(33:51):
we will be bringing them back really really soon. So
I guess we're kind of like on the summer. I
am on a break. I am trying to be on
a break. I can't believe that y'all still be calling
me asking me where is this? And you know what,
Samil's trying to reach me to know how to travel
September and the Congressional Black the Professional Black Caucust Conference.
(34:15):
Are y'all kidding me?
Speaker 3 (34:16):
You know what your job?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
No, no, no, no, everybody needs a break with the
job from the job. But we have seven jobs. It
all overlaps.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
No.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
I can't believe it. I can't believe La Toya calls
me tomorrow. Oh the YouTube, I don't even run YouTube.
That's your job. Why y'all calling me. I'm on a break.
I'm watching shows with my granddaughters, me and her doing
toesy toes together. I don't want to. I don't want
to talk to y'all about no work.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
You got to because it's part of the job that
you got, you know, part of the jobsites they go
call you and ask you some question.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
So for my I don't get it. Donald J.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Trump hm hmm has effectively pressured to somebody else. Oh lord,
you know, because this is what he does. He pushes,
He puts a strong on game. That that's one thing
nobody can deny. Donald Trump strong arms people, and he
has strong arms the Smithsonian into allegedly, allegedly into erasing
(35:24):
the reality of his two impeachments from the exhibit where
inside the Smithsonian his two impeachments are going to be.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Erased, right, but they said I did read this. They
said they're gonna put it back later.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (35:41):
When?
Speaker 3 (35:42):
When is later?
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Later on? Like maybe when he's not president anymore. I
don't know when they said it's gonna be, but it
said later.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
So you're gonna erase the felonies that he got.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
That so you're gonna rage. You're gonna raise his impeachments,
his story. Nobody gonna raised my felony.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
I gotta walk around here with felon needs that I
ain't even do running around and his impeachments is documented.
The only president in history to be in peace twice
is Donald J.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Trump. And you're sure about that? Yes, how do we
know only president to be in peach twice twice.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Others have been impeached once because I think Bill Clinton
was impeached for his scam.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
People who have been impeached with only president being peach
twice and have thirty four felamis never in the history
of never Dom has that ever happened.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
And so his impeachments right are not going to be listed,
which again they said they're gonna put it back later,
but they taking it down for now. So that means
that the Smithsonian can't necessarily be trusted because they're not
telling the full truth.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
But I'm trying to tell you there's no checks. Nobody
can be trusted at this point. Anybody who who is
dealing with Donald.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Trump as being influenced.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Yeah, you know, if you're with Donald Trump is crooked.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
No don't my sign you cannot say, but not dealing
with you listen.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
To me, because listen to me. Every deal that he
seems to have is crooked. It is money that you
paid is because you don't want him to do is.
There's no just straight up business deal with him. There
is always some crooked shit that goes along with it.
He wants to be able to control what you say.
He wants to be able to control what you do.
(37:29):
There is no deal that's just done on the merits.
With his checks and balances. He has complete oversight on
any deal that he does. And that's why you know it.
Like when you look at the people that's doing the
ice deals, they understand that he has this foot on
your neck.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
Once he does he's doing the deal. Like just what
he's doing.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
With the colleges, they're gonna say, we want to get
this money, and we need this money, and he's going
to bleed everything we have. He's taking away all the
funded he's taking away. I don't all type of shit
is happening. All of these deals are crooked. It's no
deal done on good marriage.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Well, I'm just saying I don't think everybody that deals
with Donald Trump is crooked. But all that Donald all
that Donald Trump's business is, it's it's I don't know,
I don't I don't want to use the right. Yeah,
it's very illegitimate, and I think that it is really
(38:21):
sad when the institutions that you know already, people question everything.
People people don't believe anything you telling them that that
shirt is gray. They're like I think it was the lighting.
I'm not sure. I can't you know, I can't see
gray for myself. Because folks are so distrusting of systems.
(38:42):
They don't believe what is being told to them, and
they have every right to feel that way. Now, on
top of that, we're in a situation where he can
just drop a dime on somebody and they will change
history in something like a museum, something that is supposed
to have history down to the actual facts. And to
(39:03):
say that we're no longer going to be able to
go in and read the truth, and it's stuff that's omitted,
like the fact that the president is two times impeached.
That's crazy to me. But they say they're gonna put
it back later, so I have a good day. I'm
going back on break.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
It's very terrible, you know, we living in times of anarchy.
This is complete anarchy.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Like I just I've authoritarianism.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
I have yet to see something like this, and I
feel like on my stress level, behind is thinking about it.
You know, they say ignorance is bliss, And sometimes when
I'm just sitting and I'm just relaxing, I'm just thinking
about shit that's going on. I'm like this can't really
be going on. And as you get older and you
start knowing things, it just bothers you. That's why a
(39:50):
lot of elderly people be like, they don't want to
they don't fuck with nothing.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
They'd be ready to go.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
No, oh my god, I have to be done with
this show.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
They'll be ready to go.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Because it's like, you know, it don't make no more
sense to me, no more man, It's just be a
little It's very weird, man, the times that we live
in it.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Please don't let this man set up here. They be
ready to go.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
They ready to go good night.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
But I know a lot of elderly people when they
get to like eighty nine, they be like, ain't nothing
here for me. I don't even understand the ship y'all
got going on here, my friends. The two people are
like they not and I get it.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
