Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know you're unstoppable, right, I say all the time,
how you can't fail if you don't quit. How if
you fall down seven times, you're gonna get up eight
and if you can look up, you can get up.
And all of this made me think of this track
via one of my favorite artists I can say. Her
name is Corn Hawthorne, and she has this track entitled

(00:23):
I'm Unstoppable. She says, they told me that you couldn't
do it because you're washed up. Ain't like them bad girls,
said you should get your saucer. But I got this plan,
and you might not understand. I'm gonna go as hard
as I can, and I'm gonna be the boss of it.
You gotta understand that it's called your dream, your vision
for a reason. Stop expecting people to see what it

(00:45):
is in your heart. Stop expecting people to see the
vision that you have for your life. She goes on
to say, now I do believe I'm something special. Can't
take that from me, So you can say what you want.
I go harder, stronger, be who I'm supposed to be.
Out of billions of people in this world, you were

(01:06):
made uniquely you with your vision, with your gifts with
your drive, made exactly how you're supposed to be. So
why are you comparing your journey to somebody else that
wasn't designed for you. Don't play with me, play with yourself.
She goes on to say, because I'm unstoppable, I get

(01:26):
it all the way in it. That's why I made
and I'm up on my business because I'm unstoppable. Ain't
no hope and in wishing, say your prayer, catch a wave.
Then I go out and get it because I can
be what I want. Try if I want powered by
the king. He won't let me fall because I'm unstoppable.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Nah.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Nah, he won't let me fall because I'm unstoppable. You
can't fail if you don't quit. Wait a minute, I'm
not done yet, She continues on. I dream about it,
I go get it. That's how I do it, not
the stars. I'm not lucky. I just pray through it,
follow on my face and I might make mistakes, but
I don't let it break me because I'm still on

(02:08):
my way. You better catch it. We here for a
good time, not a long time, so let's make it count.
And if you're gonna bet on somebody, you better bet
on yourself. All right, you know what time it is.

voting for Trump. I'm not making it up. African American
woman born in the city of Detroit, probably born in

the late fifties early sixties. My mama was born in
fifty one, so my aunt Jeannie, she ain't too far behind.
But I'm saying off to say, you've seen the changes
that has happened when it comes down to racism, inequality, segregation,
or desegregat. I mean, you're seeing it all, But I
am curious to hear what you all feel about what

(04:42):
she has to say about why she's voting for Donald Trump. Now,
I just want to say this be easy. That's still
my auntie. But I want to encourage you to call
me in the studio eight one, eight four six one
fifty four thirty two, because we need to have this dialogue.

bashing anybody. It's about having a verbal conversation so that

the meat, spit out the bone, so we can make
a discerned decision. All right, informed, I said, discern you

and I'm not done yet. Let me switch over to
some more serious news, specially before we get into the

(09:58):
Vitamin D advice letter, and before I called my aunt
to call in as to why she's voting for Trump.
Did you hear about what's going on in these prisons.
Did you hear about these inmates that are dying? They're
getting sick? Pull up? So the inmate death investigated in
the third incident and a Los Angeles mail jail in

(10:21):
two days now. Homicide detectives were called to the Los
Angeles mails Men's Central Jail yesterday that was on Wednesday,
to investigate the death of an inmate, marking the third
major incident at the facility in two days now. Deputies
were notified shortly before seven thirty pm that an inmate
at the jail on four hundred or four to forty one. Yeah,

(10:44):
that's right, Bouchett is it? Bouchett b a UCGT Street
in Chinatown was found unresponsive, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's
Department stated earlier Thursday morning. That's is today now. The
unidentified inmate was later pronounced dead by personnel with the
Los Angeles Fire Department. Now no the further details regarding
the circumstances around the discovery were released. However, the cause

(11:07):
of death will be determined by the Los Angeles County
Medical Examiner's Office and the sheriffs. Stated by the Sheriff's Department. Now,
emergency crews were called to the jail on two other occasions.
Now this was just this past Tuesday regarding exposures to
an unknown substance at the facility. Now, seven inmates were hospitalized,
including one in critical condition and six in serious condition.

(11:30):
Now when the fire apartment, that's when the fire department
was called at seven am. Now, officials with the Sheriff's
Department later referred to the situation as a suspected overdose incident.
What does that mean? A hazmat team searched the facility
following the incident, but found no additional patients at the time,
and also determined there was no escalating hazard. Yet we

(11:52):
got another individual that lost their life. The fire department
was back at the jail the same afternoon when seven
deputies were rushed to the nearby hospitals after exposure to
the unknown substance. The deputies had been searching the inmates
dorms to ensure that they were safe to repopulate when
they started experiencing symptoms potentially related to today's earlier suspected overdose.

(12:13):
And I quote that's what the news stated. Now, all
seven deputies were conscious and instable condition when they were
taken to the hospital as a precaution. This is by
what the official said. Woo chaw, isn't that alive? Okay?
Mss Marian says, yes, go Dodgers. Hey, missus Felicia is in,
she said, all right now, lots of great treats going on.

(12:33):
And Miss Latasha, she says, I work at the women's
jail in Linwood.

Speaker 6 (12:37):

So now let's dive into this advice letter subject. My

Dear doing my parents just oh wait, hold on, I

(14:44):
didn't even give you the clans. Slow down, gym shoe. Okay,
Vitamin the advice letter. Now this is where I encourage
individuals to write in about they need advice about the career,
their relationship, perhaps making a move, perhaps making the move
withinside of them. And I always say, Vitamin D is
all about shedding the light on the good and the bad.
Because if you want to be better and you want

(15:04):
to do better, well, honey, you gonna have to be
able to see better. So that means you're gonna eat
the meat and spit the bones out. Okay, I'm gonna
keep it real with you because I would want somebody
to keep it real with me. Now, in case you
are interested in writing an advice letter, let me tell
you the email you're gonna email me at Vitamin D
at dawn daispeaks dot com. That's vitamin d at Dawn,
dai speaks dot com. Clear clear, okay subject. My parents

(15:29):
are pissed that I'm not going to college, Dear Dawn.
My parents just hit the ceiling when I told them
that I wasn't going to college, Dawn. My mom hit
the ceiling first, then my dad did too, right after
my little sister moved her skateboard out of the way. Lord,
thank you Jesus. But I see college, But I see
college for the horrible and awful student loan debt trap

(15:51):
that it is down. Over half the people out there
where I'm at are working tables and delivering food are
all college graduates. So how that helped me out? I mean,
that's even That's even up with that? What's even up
with that? Plus? I don't like school, Dawn, never did.
I only went because the state and my father's black

(16:12):
leather belt made me. Why did that make me?

Speaker 4 (16:17):
Laugh?

Speaker 1 (16:17):
But what I have been doing since my junior year
is fixing cars down, and I'm really good at it
and I love it. It's my real passion. So far,
I've made forty five grand this year working just part
time fixing up and restoring cars for low rider clubs
and big money car shows with my uncle and Dawn.
That's all in cash money. I bought and paid for

(16:37):
my twenty twenty two racing truck with cash. I give
my parents one thousand dollars each. Or I gave my
parents a thousand dollars each in cash money. Oh. I
give them a thousand dollars each in cash money every
month to help them out. And I'm seventeen and I
got sixteen grand in the bank. Plus my uncle is
teaching me how to do payroll, how to do my taxes,
and how to run his car repair and restoration shot

(16:59):
for him. Uncle Nesto is so proud of me, and
I love working with him. But my parents are still
freaking out about not going to college. And I know
my dad, Dawn, I can't stay up under his roof
and not go to college. And I'm okay with that,
but I'm not trying to break their hearts, and I'm
trying not to waste their time and all of their
hard own money on some dumb old college. But how

(17:21):
can I get my parents to see that? Dawn sign
Arturo Ramirez Junior in Bakersfield, California, you know. I'm all
about that dreams don't work unless you do. I'm all
about realizing that we're here for a good time, not
a long time, and how we're gonna have to make account.
I'm all about choosing the life that's best for you.
So I say, young man, you're gonna have to do
you the fact that the matter is not everybody gets

(17:43):
equipped for college. And yes it's true, there are plenty
of college graduates out there making probably below minium wage
or probably just add it and jobs they don't like
because half the time you still discovering what it is
that you want. But don't take it for granted that
you found your purpose. It's time for you to walk
in it.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Now.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
See that you have a concern. You said, well, doing
college is not for me. One, you got to live
your life. Two you said you don't want to waste
that money. Well, if you're making all this money, you
can do it for yourself. Now. One of the advantages
that can be going to college is that you could
probably negotiate a higher wage. But you are a i
want to say, a tradesman. You're working with your hands,
so that is based on scale and in a society
such as today, the trades is where it's at. We

(18:25):
got Manual R High School right over here in Los Angeles,
a school that is known for the trades. It is
no secret that these blue collar jobs where people can
make six figures. So why would you put yourself in
a rap waste where you don't know your head from
your tail. You are learning how to be your taxes,
you are learning how to manage your business. You are
learning how to take care of your business. So perhaps

(18:46):
it's time for you to invest your money. Perhaps it's
time for you to look at where you can buy
a home.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
Now.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
What's unfortunate is that when we talk about building as
a society and as a community, especially with a Black community,
I'm not sure if it's also nurtured that you save
your money, get enough money for your house, and then
move on. Some cultures will say, hey, stay right here
until you get married, stay right here till you ready
to buy. I find that oftentimes in the African American community,

(19:12):
you get eighteen, it's like, oh, you get up and grown.
Because you grown, you gotta get out. So my advice
would you keep going after the dream as long as
it's paying the bills, make sure you ta staying under
your uncle Nesto, and learn everything you can about the business,
invest in it, make your money grow, and keep doing
what it is that you need to do. You realize
that you can't live for anybody else but you, and

(19:34):
we here for a good time, not a long time,
so we gonna make it count. Okay, are we clear?
Anybody want to comment on that letter? All right? Hold
on now, so, miss Felicia, because I'm about to call
my aunt Jeanie. She said, Dawn, it was this the

(19:56):
aunt that I met at the Madison Square Garden rally.
Which one was that? I'm not sure what Riley? That
was the Madison Square. No, the only aunt that's came
out here so far is my aunt Brenda uh down
down in Alabama. Yeah, that was the only aunt. All right, y'all.
I told her I was gonna call her.

Speaker 7 (20:16):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (20:17):
A twenty?

Speaker 2 (20:17):
I told her.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
I said, well, a twenty on the East coast. Let's
see what she got to say. Lord, have mercy, be
easy on my aunt, child, I said, be easy like
Sunday morning.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
Now.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
I told her, I said, listen, I'm gonna call you.
I can't even understand why she not a Hello, Hello
you you own we all?

Speaker 2 (20:43):
Huh?

Speaker 1 (20:44):
I said, we both on? Oh I told you a
twenty I forgot. I'm sorry, Anson.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
What's going on?

Speaker 1 (20:55):
How you doing?

Speaker 4 (20:57):
I'm doing fine. Back, it's so good.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
We hear this. We hear a little Brazil in the background.
I said, I'm so glad I hear a little Brazil
in the background, because you know, I think when we
talk about looking at our young people that you know,
who you're voting for could possibly impact her life. Now,
is this somewhere you can go where it's a little
less noise?

Speaker 2 (21:21):
I'm sorry, I can't hear you.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
Can you go somewhere where it's less noise? Can you
hear me?

Speaker 8 (21:27):
Now?

Speaker 1 (21:28):
Do you really have me online? You are on live? Yes, Gennie.
We let's get with the conversation. What you thought it
was a game? So wait, Gennie, why are you calling
me back? We're live, We're waiting on to talk to you.

Speaker 4 (21:43):
Okay, Well, I'll have to call you right back back
gap something.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Going on right now?

Speaker 1 (21:49):
What time do you want me to call you back in?

Speaker 4 (21:53):
How long are you going to be on?

Speaker 9 (21:55):
Well?

Speaker 1 (21:55):
The conversation is geared to you, so we're on right now?
To talk about it. Oh my goodness. Yeah, yeah, because
we wanted to share why you're voting for Trump. The
election is happening on Tuesday. I have been teasing and
so listening this entire show about how you're coming up
next and why you are voting for Trump. Okay, so

(22:16):
real quick, tell us you said that. Tell us a
little bit about you. You Fromkie Troy. What year were
you born in Igenie? Okay? All right, well there's you
have a guest. She says she got a call back,

(22:36):
so I'm sorry for that news. What can we say
anybody out there really quickly, Let's share some views and
let's get the conversation going until she calls back. Anybody
out there that has already voted or is gearing up
to vote, I want you to call me in the
studio right now, and I just want you to share
your thoughts right now as to what do you have

(22:58):
to say for any individuals out there who are a
person of color, or even a woman, or just in general,
because at this point, I don't know if it's directed
to a certain group of people as to why they
should vote for Trump or shouldn't. Let's just talk about
the overall basis, I would love for you to call
in right now and share with me why you are
not voting for Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris. Can

(23:22):
you call me right now? I'd love to hear from you.
Don't leave me out here dry, y'all.

Speaker 7 (23:29):
Call me.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
I was really pumped up about it because Ellen and
I had a very good conversation. In fact, El should
I call you? Let me call al Castro right now,
because she definitely was passionate about the whole idea. She
even said, dawn every time around this time, my nerves
get shot. Hello, Hey, hey, I had to call you

(24:09):
first because I don't know what happened. But now my
aunt Jay's just like, I'm not ready. I gotta call
you back. Let's talk. How does what you feel about
any person of color or just anybody in general and
their thoughts about voting for Donald Trump?

Speaker 5 (24:24):
Oh gosh, I mean I come from a different state
of opinion. I am a New Yorker born and raised.
I know a different side. I grew up knowing and
hearing of different sides of Donald J. Trump. I'm seeing

(24:45):
the racist side of him my entire life.

Speaker 4 (24:51):
I feel like he is a he walks and breaths
and exists hate.

Speaker 5 (25:01):
And it is extremely concerning to know that someone who
represents that can be the leader of my country. So
as a woman, he's trying to take away woman's rights.
As a president of color, I feel like he's trying

(25:22):
to revert us back to days of slavery. I don't
see anything good that can come out of him returning
to that position.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Well, what about his whole idea of helping to boost
the economy.

Speaker 5 (25:40):
I think that he is a narcissist and I think
that anything that he says out his mouth is of
self interest. And yeah, I don't think that it will
boost an economy. I think it will have it self.
It will be about him. It may appear, and that's

(26:02):
the thing. People have to do their research. You have
to do your research. You know, you vote for this
person that you're not doing your research. You're looking at
someone who is an entertainer on a television reality show
mm hm, who is inciting domestic terrorism on our own soil,

(26:29):
and who is putting policies in place that are having
tremendous fallout that will that are that's setting us back.
I think people really need to do their research.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
So how do you feel about individuals stating that whether
you you got to figure out who you're going to
put the choose the lesser of evils, saying that Kamala
Vice President Kamala Harris isn't for the people. What do
you say about that?

Speaker 5 (27:01):
I think that you have to do your research.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Well, see, here's the thing. The election is on Tuesday.
If you can't have some share, what does that mean
for somebody that may not know how to do the research?
And I think that's why I have to have an
overstand what does it.

Speaker 5 (27:14):
Mean the less that it's too evil? Hey, you have
one person who is who has been a lawyer for
entire career and a government appointed professional her entire career,
and then here you have somebody who is a criminal

(27:35):
who has been convicted of several felonies.

Speaker 4 (27:39):
I want to say, thirty four forty three?

Speaker 5 (27:43):
How many felonies he's been convicted of several selonies in
New York. He was facing charges in Georgia for tampering
with the last election. And I don't understand when you
see these allegations not just allegations, because they have been

(28:04):
actually formally charged indictments, how can you even sit there
and still think about voting that person back into that position.
This doesn't make sense to me.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
So if you had one message out there for individuals
who are thinking of voting for Donald J. Trump, what
would you say?

Speaker 5 (28:34):
I would say, if it's a person of color.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Any person, because at this point, is it even about
color at this point? Or is it everybody?

Speaker 5 (28:41):
It's not, it's he's just he represents divisiveness, he represents hate.
And if that is what you want to live in,
if you want to live in a country that is
under a sum of dictatorships, then that's your choice. You know,
if you if you like civil liberties and democracy, then

(29:03):
I would encourage you to strongly not vote for him.
But if that's what you want to live under, and
as a person of color, if you want to go
back in them fields and pick cotton, didn't go about that, because.

Speaker 9 (29:17):
That's what he is.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
His message is clear.

Speaker 5 (29:21):
He is a racist, he is a biggot, and he
wants to bring us back to days of slavery and
devoc and cause divisiveness amongst.

Speaker 8 (29:29):
All of us.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
And there you are, well, thank you so much, AIRL
for sharing.

Speaker 5 (29:35):
You're welcome.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Please stay tuned in because I would love for you
if you need to to call back and to make
any clarification, because, like you said, you've been following this
election very closely, right I have, Okay, so yes, please
stay tuned, and I'd love to hear.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
Following his career.

Speaker 5 (29:51):
I mean since I was a child, I've seen his
racist ways living in New York City?

Speaker 1 (29:58):
Is that right?

Speaker 7 (30:00):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Because when we think of Central Park five and then
the whole ordeal that was happening with him and his
rental place or his his property is building, right, he wouldn't.

Speaker 4 (30:10):
Allow her rent More than that, He's done way more
than that.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
Oh yeah, he is.

Speaker 5 (30:15):
Redline to prevent people of color from buying getting into
the housing and buying real estate in certain parts.

Speaker 9 (30:23):
Of New York. Like, he's done way more than that.
He's just the horrible.

Speaker 5 (30:32):
He is the horrible candidate person.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Actually, And you have no apologies about that statement, do
you at all? All right? Thank you so much, You're welcome. Well,
I want to let you know the phone lines are open.
Call me. We are waiting on my aunt's call back.
I hope she didn't get cold feed, because I mean
she was boasting it loud and clear, talking about some

(31:00):
voting for Donald J. Trump. She was saying how Kamala
Harris wasn't really for the people, and all of a
sudden now she want to step out. She said, in fact,
what did she actually do for us? What did she do?
So I want to invite because I want to have
this conversation. We know that the election is coming up.
We are less than what six days from the election.

(31:22):
What is going on? This is the time that we
have to have the conversation of overstanding so that we
can have some understanding because this election will impact lives.
This election will affect our lives, and we can't just
sit here and watch. We can't just sit here and listen. Missatasha.
You was just saying on Tuesday you were working the polls.
Do I need to call you or you're gonna call me?

(31:44):
Because I am curious to hear what your experience has been.
What is the rhetoric? What are people talking about? Because
so many stories have broken out about the whole notion
that these ballads are being cut on fire, they're blowing
up the mailboxes. I'm hearing about mail trucks. What ballot
boxes have fell in the back end? Oh, you know what,
They're saying, oh, I forgot to lock the door? Did

(32:05):
you really?

Speaker 10 (32:06):
Now?

Speaker 1 (32:07):
Because the thing that concerns me is just these tactics
that are in place, that are being used. What happened
thirty forty fifty years ago, even prior to the fact
that we couldn't even vote? You making me guess how
many jelly beans? How many pieces of rice is in
a jar? First of all? Who counted it to verify
in the first place? All right, Miss Latasha, you up next?

Speaker 7 (32:30):
Let me call it?

Speaker 8 (32:41):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (32:41):
Did that? I think I put too many? Easier? Rose,
I heard that extra zero? Didn't you? Let me see
cal me?

Speaker 11 (33:00):
How are you?

Speaker 12 (33:00):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (33:01):
How you doing you? Did you hear me talking about you? Yes?

Speaker 4 (33:05):
I did? H.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
So you know I's gonna call you girl, I know.
So let's talk what Let's talk first of all with
me even so, listen to the topic that my aunt's
an African American woman in the Midwest, uh, probably born
in the late fifties, early sixties. Say she voting for
Donald J. Trump. Now, you've been out there working the polls, right,

(33:29):
tell me what your thoughts are about this? Tell me,
just tell me what's going on. So far?

Speaker 4 (33:36):
A lot of people are saying a by Harris that
she's not doing anything for us as African Americans or minority.
Trump is kind of like he's not doing anything. So
we're not getting a lot of boats in right now
at this time because due to the fact of people
or still have mixed feelings about what's going on. But

(33:57):
who I am African American, I let them know, you know,
it's very important your vote does count. And I think
us as minority we need to mean more to the
Democrat than the Republican because he's only out for his
own and there is mental health issues going on within him.

(34:20):
That's my true outlook in others as well outlook. And
like I said, I work at the Women's Hill in Lynwood.
I'm a social worker inside the jails besides dealing with
my nonprofit on the weekends. And I am a shocked
because you have some people that are minority African Americans
and Hispanics who are honestly voting for him. And I

(34:43):
want to say something, but I catch myself because we
in the workplace, so I have to be a little
bit more professional. But when it comes to certain cultures,
I do voice my opinion and say why are you
voting for him. I'm not trying to be rude, but
he was trying to put up a brick water for
you guys and didn't want you guys to come over here.
But you're gonna vote for him, you know. And I

(35:04):
had to catch myself again. But at the end of
the day, I feel like this Donde, our votes are
very important. I understand who we have in office. But
at the end of the day, you know, we got
to make things right.

Speaker 5 (35:23):
Now.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
Can you clarify something we were having that was having
a discussion with l prior to the show. Can inmates
vote if you're a convicted family, you can or cannot.
You cannot vote right, you can't where I'm at.

Speaker 4 (35:35):
We do have a deputy right now going around in
the different modules and allowing certain inmates to vote. Not
all inmates can vote, but certain inmates can vote. Yes,
they do have people going in with the ballots, are
having them registered for the first time, because of course,
at the Women's show, as soon as you turn eighteen

(35:57):
you consider it as an adult. And they are allowing
people to vote, and we honestly have the ballot, We
have everything, so they can do everything. They just can't
go outside. Do we have everything inside?

Speaker 1 (36:12):
You know what's so interesting just talking about the idea
how everybody is in the middle, like they're like, I
don't know the split between two evils and a conversation
that we talked about earlier when I was talking to
a coworker here at the studio shared the fact that
they are a minority of Mexican descent, family is from
Mexico and said, hey, I'm in between. I am not

(36:33):
clear on who I'm voting for, but even addressed the
perks of voting with Trump because they feel like, oh,
they're going to make change. They said, all these policies
that Kamala is talking about, well, it's gonna take years
to implement. At least we know what Trump He's gonna
do what he wants to do. But perhaps that's the
problem in the first place, because what rules are he
is he going to follow? Not even concerned with the

(36:55):
fact of disenfranchising various school systems about ta teaching them
from history, not concerned about the fact of the insurrection
that took place that could be inside it, not even
concerned about the rally that took place at Madison Square
Garden with they were clearly racist remarks, and I'm talking
about stating the fact that Puerto Rico looks like garbage,

(37:16):
talking about the black neighbor carving a watermelon and putting
it on their head, not to mention those of Hispanic descent,
they don't know how to pull out. Why is this okay?
Are we tripping? Do we feel as though if we
experience this blatant racism, this blatant disrespect, is better than
experiencing behind our back.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
You have a point that, but my thing is, as
I always think John, that we still have them Jim
Crows and Jim Jones out there and that's never going
to change. It's just in certain states right there in
front of our faces and certain stations behind the shield.
And I can honestly say, when you go back out,

(38:00):
it's out there here California is sometimes just getting behind
the shield. But you know, you know, because you can
feel it as a minority when you had them Jim
Crows and Jim Jones. But for me, I'm not going
to drink the purple punt. I'm good, but.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
Period, period. Right now, are you comfortable with Sharan who
you're voting for?

Speaker 4 (38:25):
Yeah, yes, I'm comfortable, and I'm gonna vote for Harry
and the reason why. And I will stand my point. Yes,
I did not like the way she did things back
in the days when she was a public defender and
you know, on that side, and she was putting all
of us as minorities away behind bars and she didn't care.

(38:47):
But I look at it as look, look what's going on,
and then I mean, it's hard. But at the end
of the day, I think my attitude is more she's
a woman, she's African American, as she say, but we
know who she married, so therefore I understand marriage. So

(39:08):
you know, color doesn't show no love. But you know
you have to take that on into faster. Are you
really for us the people? Are you just saying a
good thing to make us believe what you want to
You're saying what you want us to hear. But then
when you get in office, what are you going to
really do?

Speaker 1 (39:28):
So it's almost like you feel like you're gambling.

Speaker 4 (39:32):
Yes I am, but I know I would not definitely
vote for Trump. I can tell you that I knew
he had mental health issues when they told me that
he went to boarding school. That already let me know
that your mom, your dad, nobody in the family can
deal with you, so they send you off to go
to school because nobody can't deal with you. So that's
a problem within himself, and by me being a social

(39:54):
worker and dealing with the mental health feel inside the jails,
dealing with that's the issue within him.

Speaker 7 (40:03):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (40:04):
Okay, well, thank you so much for right about I
just want to give a comment about what was going
on in the jails. You were right about what was
going on. It doesn't seem to surprise me because there's
always something going on at mans Central County Jail. There's
always a lot of overdose. There's always a lot that
goes on. But let's not exempt the jail where I'm at,

(40:25):
the women's jail in Mine Woods. There's a lot that
goes on in our jail too. The only thing is
it's just swept underneath the carpet. Sometimes it get out,
sometimes they don't. But since the man Central County Jail
on Twins tar Are the well Mansister County Jail is
the oldest jail, so whenever something goes on there, it
definitely goes to the news real fast. The only thing

(40:46):
you see about us is if a deputy had set
to it, they in made are something minor. I mean,
that's not minor. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that,
but something on that level before it's drugs and all
that you don't really hear from our.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
Jail what so there has to be the officers. Are
they the ones that's bringing the drugs in?

Speaker 4 (41:09):
Well, you know what, I'm gonna be honest, and I'm
gonna tell you. For instance, when inmates get ready to
go to court and just say you've got to be
at court eight o'clock in the morning. You're all on
the black and you're going to Comptant court House, Long
Beach Courthouse. Where the courthouse you're going, you just say,
for instance, it was you you got caught up and
they put you inside the holding. Take with me. You

(41:33):
came from off the street. I'm somebody that's already in jail.
They ain't checked you fully to make sure you ain't
got nothing on you, So who's to say that you
ain't got nothing hit up in you? And then sometimes
that does happen like that where the inmates are bringing
it in. It's not necessarily the workers bringing it in,
but sometimes in some cases it's the inmates to bring

(41:55):
it in.

Speaker 5 (41:56):
Because you know you're in court, we're in a holding.

Speaker 4 (42:00):
Who's to say, who's really keeping an eye on everybody?
So that does happen. And then from what I understand,
we had an incident where it was a nurse. It
was a nurse. What she was bringing in stuff a nurse.
So you know, you have to ask yourself is it

(42:21):
worth it? Is it worth the schooling, the education, just
how long you've been with the county. I've been with
the county twenty four years. But you got to ask yourself,
is it really worth it for you to do all
this and they end up losing your job and your
prudentials as a nurse.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
Well, how much money the inmates are paying them to
bring in the contraband?

Speaker 4 (42:40):
I don't know how much. I have no idea. I
have no idea about that part. But you be surprised.
You have family members who know, family members who help out,
family members who help out everything.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
Now l Castro from Facebook says, but do CEOs also
bring contraband into the jails.

Speaker 4 (43:01):
I'm with the county jail, so we have deputies and
we have custody assistance. I can't speak for the state level,
but I can speak for the county that I don't
believe so, But if you can read between the lines,
I don't believe so. I think they're more of, you know,
bringing in other things, bringing in other things. I mean,

(43:25):
we do have a high rate. Like I said about
deputies having sex with the inmates, we do have a
high rate. I've had women on my case flow where
they tell me ome issts and I'm going home. I said, no,
you're not. I didn't approve for you to walk out
these double doors, and they let me know, Oh yeah,
I will go home. You will see it tonight on
the news. And when I got home, I've seen it.

(43:46):
It was a deputy who had different women having sex
with him and they were asking for our well, he
was asking for all sets. They gave him the all sets.
And then when the sheriff came down to us asking
us questions, we were like, well, we didn't.

Speaker 2 (44:01):
Know that all this was going on.

Speaker 4 (44:02):
And I said, well, anyway, how did you know that
it was this deputy? And the girl came out and said,
because I saved the evidence in my mouth and put
it in a cup every day.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
Shut up, And it's just like that.

Speaker 4 (44:15):
Now, how she got it? That's exactly how she got on.
And this happened. You guys can YouTube it, look it up.
This happened at our jail in September of twenty twenty seven. No, no, no,
oh wait September twenty seventeen. Sorry about that, you guys.
And it happened at the women's jail where there was

(44:36):
a deputy who was having sest with the inmates. And
it's at the women's jail century original Detention facility.

Speaker 5 (44:48):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
Okay, so it does go on.

Speaker 4 (44:51):
It does go on, but it's sad because my attitude
the list. I'm not trying to be rude, but you
can go get somebody off the Long Beach Boulevard and
go get somebody out of begin you know, I mean,
is it You do this because you feel you have
the power over them because they convicted a crime or whatever,
so therefore they feel that they must do this to

(45:12):
get on your good side. That's not fair. You don't
do people like.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
That, taking advantage of people. That's why I feel like
a lot of things when we talk about this ego
goes in the way, this hunger for the power, whether
it comes with money, the sex, the drugs, the fame,
like whatever, it is. It's the sense of power that
individuals need and they want. Right, Well, thank you so
much for shedding the light on the truth.

Speaker 8 (45:36):
You know.

Speaker 1 (45:37):
I'm also going to up level the conversation on another show,
and I hope that you can tune in of just
talking about the senseless deaths that happen in these prison
systems and how family members are losing their loved ones
and not getting any explanation as to what happened, and
what are you supposed to do about it?

Speaker 10 (45:59):
Right? Right?

Speaker 1 (46:01):
You do?

Speaker 4 (46:02):
I mean I can say, for instance, like in the
Man Central County jail, and I noticed when you're not
Hispanic or Black, that they have less deputies behind you,
like maybe one or two deputies walking with you. But
if you're African American or Hispanic, then you have like
ten twelve deputies walking behind you because of that fear,
they claim. But I don't think it's really fear. Because

(46:26):
if I'm a social worker and if I can walk
around that jail by myself and talk and laugh and
do whatever, I fear no one. You know, that's just me,
And I tell them you need to just stay prayed up,
they said, But you don't understand, No, I understand. I
see the skin color, so I understand very well. I
said I was born at night, not last night.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
Okay, catch it. Oh my goodness, you know. Okay, well,
thank you so much for sharing. I really appreciate it.
And we're gonna up level that conversation because these are
the things. That's when we got inside people that know
what's going on.

Speaker 4 (47:02):
Okay, right, right, So feel free to call me anytime.
You know my work schedule, so feel free to call
me anytime, and I will like to be on that
call that when we talk about that topic.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
Okay, yes, you already noticed.

Speaker 8 (47:15):
Deal.

Speaker 1 (47:15):
I'm come.

Speaker 5 (47:18):
Right then.

Speaker 4 (47:19):
I'm gonna get back online now.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
Okay, I see you on another sagger.

Speaker 4 (47:23):
All right, okay, thank you, I can.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
Oh wow, okay, so we got that. We got a
little airfoll there. Now, I see some comments are coming in.
Kevin Ross stated on faceboo, Kevin, are you still here?
Because I'm about to call you. Kevin Ross says, why
do black people say Harris has done uh hasn't done
nothing for black people? Why is that important? Why is
I'm Kevin, I'm interested in hearing you expound upon that

(47:51):
some more because my thing is this wouldn't I want
somebody in office that has done something for people that
look like me. Isn't that the reason while we get
out in there and voked, so that your voice can
be escalated, to be elevated. I'm calling Kevin Ross. Yes,

(48:22):
don Kevin Ross. How you doing. I'm doing good. I'm
glad that you're doing good.

Speaker 9 (48:31):
I'm doing good. I'm doing good.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
So I was reading your comment. Talk to me. You say,
why is it important if Vice President Kamala Harris has
not done anything for black people? What do you mean
by that?

Speaker 9 (48:44):
Well?

Speaker 7 (48:44):
I don't I don't understand why why she has to
has done something for black people when you want her
to have done something for people in general. If Asian
president only did things for white people, that that doesn't

(49:06):
seem to be something to be voting for. Our being
discussing as if well, she ain't doting nothing or he
ain't getting nothing for black people. That's that's a one
sided thing.

Speaker 9 (49:20):
I don't I don't want that.

Speaker 7 (49:21):
That just baffles my thinking.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
M hm, why is it?

Speaker 7 (49:27):
I guess of course you're not posing to anybody who's listening.
Why is that important? And why why is that even
a topic to say or she hasn't done anything for
black people. That's not her job to do things for
black people only.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
Well l Castro from Facebook says, because the election is
all about race because of other candidates, that's who she's
running against. Trump is all about race because he's a racist.
So if you know that you're running against a racist,
wouldn't you want somebody that has done something for people
that look like you or not?

Speaker 7 (50:00):
Necessarily?

Speaker 1 (50:02):
Now, and what are your thoughts on the whole idea.

Speaker 7 (50:05):
Swing my vote? It doesn't swing my vote. I mean,
it doesn't swing my vote either way based on what
see You know they say rock does nothing for black people.

Speaker 9 (50:15):
Uh, you know, vote for.

Speaker 7 (50:18):
Somebody because they haven't or had done something for black people.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
Hello hello, oh yeah, you said vote for something that
What is you just say said?

Speaker 7 (50:32):
Is it is it important for a president or a
person running for president to have done something special with
their race and should that be a reason to vote
for him?

Speaker 1 (50:47):
Well, I'll say this, I think that when you talk
about somebody being a leader or to represent your voice,
I would want to know that my voice is heard.
I would want to know that I am being seen.
And so what that would look like is what type
of implemmation, what type of policies, what kind of actions,
what type of initiatives have taken place, that have done
some people for something for people that looks like me.

(51:08):
Because when it's all said and done, when it's decided
to allocations of money or how to carry through things,
to amplify things, to shut things down, are you doing
it for the interest or am I being seen? Is
it done because of someone that looks like me or
representative of me? And you know, l Castro says, you know,
Brock did things for all people, and she says that

(51:30):
she thinks that that Vice President Kamala Harris will do
something for all people. So I think it's an idea
of you just want to make sure your voice is heard.

Speaker 8 (51:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (51:40):
So I mean, if they they're saying those things, I
guess I really was speaking to the people who say
and have said, you know, she hasn't she hasn't done
anything for black people. Why would I go for she
has any proof that she's done anything for black people?
Or are you know why it to me?

Speaker 8 (51:57):
Just to me?

Speaker 7 (51:57):
And I'm only talking about me. I don't understand why
that's important. I would want a president who has done something.

Speaker 9 (52:05):
For all people.

Speaker 7 (52:06):
And and that's that's a the three, that's like a one,
that's a I don't know, I guess.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
Uh, like a one stop shop.

Speaker 7 (52:17):
I tell you, I yeah, you can say it. I won't.
But you know it's like, do you want a president
who only does something for black people?

Speaker 9 (52:25):
Don't want to? How they go get the waiting vote?

Speaker 1 (52:28):
Catch it? And now you know there are a lot
of people that has the the rhetoric of well, you know,
Trump sent us some money, and Obama came forth and said,
hold up, wait a minute, Oh, Trump was the only
one that put his name on the check. But best
believed when you left that relief Biden, I mean, uh,
Biden didn't put his name on it, and that he

(52:49):
didn't put the name on it, but he could have.
What are your thoughts on that?

Speaker 7 (52:56):
Are we basing uh throwing money to the people on
the reason to vote for somebody?

Speaker 2 (53:04):
So he threw so he threw.

Speaker 7 (53:06):
He threw the United States some money during COVID you know,
is that a reason? I mean, anybody could have done
that in that situation or was it the setup for
later such as people are now saying what he did
for us during COVID and you know all that type

(53:27):
of stuff. I don't I don't understand that, you know
all it cakes is very touchy, disiblementual.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
Yeah, And I just want to make sure that we
make this a safe space to have the conversation because
there's a lot of people that need to understand. I mean,
this a lunch action, as we've been talking about, could
be the face that changes the trajectory of a lot
of people's lives. And at least if you're gonna sit
there and vote or not for understand what you're.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
Standing on, you know, without one hundred percent.

Speaker 1 (53:51):
I was looking at Bear Bear, I'm not sure do
you have any insight? Kevin Ross, Bear says, I have
a buddy who is voting for Trump just because of
the hit laws. Nothing else.

Speaker 12 (54:07):
Law.

Speaker 7 (54:07):
I can't see that.

Speaker 1 (54:11):
I'm gonna try to get beer. I don't think I
got your number, Bear, call me. Okay. Well, thank you
so much, Kevin Ross. I hope you stay tuned in,
and if you have any further comments, please feel free
to call again or to go ahead and put it
in the chat.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
All right, Hello, yes sir, yes, ma'am, thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (54:37):
Okay, all right, Oh, that y'all hurt that Dane. That's
my aunt. Hey, give me a minute, because I thought
you wanted me to tune in online to your podcast. No,
I was calling you on the phone. Everybody says, where's
Auntie Trumpet? We texting right now. I just wanted your boys.

(55:00):
I don't know if she got scared of y'all. Now, Beer,
I don't think I have your number. Beer, can you
call me? Can you call me in the studio, Beer,
call me in the studio. I want your voice to
be heard. The number is eight one eight four six
one fifty four thirty two. Call me in the studio.
I'm texting my aunt right now. Y'all see the text messages.

(55:22):
I'm trying to figure out what she got confused about. Nevertheless,
I do want to have this conversation. Jesus. I don't
understand why she is having this. It's so challenging. I
had her on the live. It was going to be
a phone call. Pardon the silence. Beer, Please feel free

(55:47):
to call in. I would love to hear what you
got to say about the gone laws. He says, Okay,
give me a second, all right, So this is what
we got at stake. We have individuals who have stated
there on the fence whether or not to vote for
Vice President Kamala Harris. Are we doing for Donald J? Trump?

Speaker 5 (56:01):
Now?

Speaker 1 (56:01):
A lot of people say, you know, regardless of whatever raise,
how could you not vote for somebody that is not
looking for the best interest of all people. Then some
people say, specifically, say, well, why am I gonna vote
for Kamala Harris? What has she done for black people?
What do you think can be done out There's a
lot of talk about all of the policies that she
has into place and whether or not how long these
policies are going to take to get into effect. And

(56:23):
somebody has stated that question. I said to them, what
do you think I mean? Is it better that it's
like almost saying I don't want to invest in something
because it's gonna take years for me to get a
turn around in profit. Then you got I guess other
people saying I want to put my money in or
cash my check right now, Well, that's gonna come with
some penalties. That's going to come with a bit of
a challenge. Bert I got the number right on the

(56:44):
screen for you, eight one, eight four, six one fifty
four to thirty two again. That's eight one eight four
six one fifty four thirty two. Come me in a
studio right now. I want to hear from you. And
if you have any comments, go ahead and put them
on the I would love to review them. I might
try to call my aunt again because I'm unclear as

(57:06):
to what she's unclear about. That's when you go free
for all. Let me see what happened because I let
me call on her again right now. Let's see. Don't
be scared, like, don't be talking, big chest, big body.
So now I guess she ain't picking up. There is
nothing to get ready for. And that's the only thing

(57:35):
I'm mad because I hyped it up. Hmm, yes, okay,
So we're just having this conversation. We know that the
election is taking place just days away, less than a week,
and less than a week we will have the verdicten.

(57:56):
Oh hello, talk to me, bear, can you hear me?
I can bear to hear you what I signed, real
law for you, real real love. Okay, well you can
you can make it out right now?

Speaker 7 (58:12):
Right?

Speaker 1 (58:14):
Yeah, okay, So talk to me. You said that you
have a buddy of yours who said that they are
going to vote for Trump. Because of the gun laws.

Speaker 9 (58:24):
Yeah, it's like, okay, so he's uh.

Speaker 10 (58:29):
We had a conversation that's long ago, and he told
me he, uh, he don't care about pers The only
thing he cares about is is I believe it's taking
him in the so far as a gun though.

Speaker 9 (58:43):
I guess he don't. He don't want those thim in
a way, My finion is that that's the only usual
votes for the dude. We are lost. I know, I've
heard a lot of people say they're voting for.

Speaker 8 (58:57):
Miss Harris for the only for the simper passion's black,
or they're voting for Trump because they don't want to
figure up an office. That kind of remind me of
all the social nigga was running for the uh for
the thing in California and a lot of people won't

(59:18):
voted him because he was a actor. It's like, we
have a lot of people that's voting but not voting
for the right reason.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
Right because your buddy is saying that, Okay, I'm voting
for the gun laws. But we got to come and say, well,
Vice President Kamala Harir is for the Second Amendment, and
folks need to do simply their research. But I think also, folks,
we need to have more of these conversations to talk
about why things are, why people feel ways are impacted,

(59:48):
so that we can decipher the truth. Because the truth
is still gonna stand oh.

Speaker 9 (59:52):
Yeah, mostimulantly. And I mean it's rather than our face
that we just pay attention to it.

Speaker 6 (59:56):
M Unfortunately, I was the that grew up that my
parents didn't vote, so I part se didn't have that
politic or political conversations growing up.

Speaker 8 (01:00:09):
I'm just now getting at the political the political conversations
here and there.

Speaker 9 (01:00:14):
So I'm not even gonna say like I know the
ins and outs of it. I'm still, like I said,
I'm still learning myself on what different things is.

Speaker 8 (01:00:23):
But one thing I did learn is in order for
me to have my own opinion instead of going off
of whood says and all that other is like the
lady says that you just had on the phone, I
want to go do your research.

Speaker 9 (01:00:38):
So that's where I'm stuck at it with. I'm not
even gonna lie.

Speaker 6 (01:00:43):
For the last maybe two or three elections that we
had to vote, I was accused, so I just voted
for the Freedom Party. I mean with ill still with
them myself, that was like the right thing to do
at the times is I couldn't distinguish the two of
the the republican and democratics, you know, what was.

Speaker 9 (01:01:03):
Right what was wrong.

Speaker 8 (01:01:04):
So now that I'm actually having more politic political conversations,
I'm trying to do a little by little research and
studying to see, you know, what will best heed.

Speaker 11 (01:01:17):
Me right and my son as you know, a five
year old black kid, and my wife. My wife is
more incluid than I am, but we don't have some conversations.

Speaker 6 (01:01:30):
Due to the fact I'm at work fifteen hours a day,
five to seven days, five to six days a week.

Speaker 9 (01:01:35):
So when I come home, I'm tired.

Speaker 6 (01:01:38):
We have normal conversations about how your day was, except
a recession.

Speaker 9 (01:01:42):
Next morning, I get up to do it again.

Speaker 8 (01:01:43):
And on my off days, I'm exhausted from working for
me all the week. Whereas like we just meet me
alone for a.

Speaker 9 (01:01:50):
Minute, that minute surges and now I got to go
back to work again. Got But I heard though, I
kind of a lot of that stuff I have.

Speaker 8 (01:01:59):
To do with my owner, you know, do research on
my own. But it's still like the conversations that I
should be having with the family. I can't to the
job and time won't allow it, right, right, right, right,
I do think that's a real.

Speaker 9 (01:02:13):
That's not that's not that's not a.

Speaker 8 (01:02:18):
A correct way to vote for somebody all because you
want your gun, you know, you just you want to
be able to buy as many guns or they have
a new law where you to buy a bigger magazine
or etcetera. Orce now just saying okay, okay, they give
you your gun, lag Doug. But at the end of
the day, now they put in effect that now you

(01:02:40):
can't use it. You can have them, but you aren't
using the protect yourself.

Speaker 9 (01:02:43):
So now she voted for.

Speaker 1 (01:02:44):
Was pointless, right, And I guess you know something that
you said.

Speaker 9 (01:02:50):
Personally off from the old school where.

Speaker 8 (01:02:54):
If I had to not promote, but I have to
defend myself or I had to be in in any
kind of act of violence, I have two hands, and
that's what they were for. And at the end of
the day, it's like on my block, everybody had a
probable jest, somebody got punched off, or.

Speaker 9 (01:03:13):
You know, you punched back. You didn't go run to
your closet or run your car and pull out of
weapon that you know do that, So I mean, that's
just why I'm at with it. Like I can care
less about the gun laws.

Speaker 8 (01:03:24):
I just want to make sure myself, my family, and
my son has a chance at life with a better future.

Speaker 9 (01:03:32):
I supposed to happen to fight the odds of going
back into the eighteen hundreds to the early nineteen hundreds
with the people telling you to do what you say.
I mean, do what they say, and you have to
do what they say, or you know, for.

Speaker 1 (01:03:45):
Dismissing thank you for Saron, And the one thing that
I hear, like a lot of people share just like
how you were saying of just not having this discourse,
not having a conversation, so you kind of lost in
the sauce. And I do feel it so easy to say,
well do your research. Well, it's like being in a
room and you don't even know the lights are off?
Where am I supposed to go? Where are the people

(01:04:06):
that are able to deliver the message so we can
receive it now? One thing I have been saying with
Vice President Kamala Harris is that she has been getting
down with the community. And what I mean that, whether
that is not taking advantage of social media, whether that's
not going where the young people are going on TikTok
taking these podcast interviews. There is a way that she's
showing up and saying, hey, reach me, if you need
to reach me, let's have a conversation and let's talk

(01:04:29):
about it, right. And I feel as long as we
keep having more conversations like this and understanding that people
need to overstand, then we're going to be able to
make way.

Speaker 9 (01:04:40):
Right right, Okay, Well, I mean one thing I can
say that I.

Speaker 8 (01:04:45):
Learned with a little bit of peaking through the window,
living at the debate or doing a little bit of study.

Speaker 9 (01:04:52):
I mean, Rump showed the shoe.

Speaker 8 (01:04:54):
Colors the luod for years and then for some odd reason,
he's still a little bit even though we have another
president in in place, always.

Speaker 11 (01:05:05):
Somebody that already did their term feel relevant more than
who's who's in you know, who's Gonnallow.

Speaker 1 (01:05:11):
Well, let's not be mistaken that we're talking about a
part of social media celebrity. He did have his talk show,
Hey You're Fired, So he knows his way of knowing
how to appeal to the masses, whether it may be
good or bad. And l says, because hate doesn't disappear
out and we got to consider the fact that America

(01:05:33):
was built on racism.

Speaker 9 (01:05:35):
Mm hmmm mm hm.

Speaker 8 (01:05:36):
So I mean my figure is, why why do we
want to go back to what it was built off
of opposed to trying to make it better and you know,
navigate through the ins and outs of what we learned
from from back in history.

Speaker 1 (01:05:49):
Mm hmmm mm hmm.

Speaker 10 (01:05:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:05:52):
So yeah, it just I mean, like I said, I mean,
I'm a little I guess you could say, a literate
to the political conversation as of now. But the more
time I get in, the more research and study I'll do,
I'll be more you know, a wealthy quick for the
in and out of it.

Speaker 9 (01:06:07):
But as right now, it's like I know a little bit,
but I guess not enough to teach people.

Speaker 1 (01:06:16):
But you can teach or tell people what they're talking
about because you are a brother. And I'm just curious
when you talking to your other brothers, not excluding your
friend that says they're voting because of the gun laws,
why do you feel that some black men are opposed
to voting for Kamala Harris and a lot of people
who he's talking about, Well, she locked up a lot
of people back when she was serving as a prosecutor
or a public defender. One we got taking consideration that

(01:06:38):
was her job, and then two. Now, don't quote me
I read or heard, I can't remember, but from what
I understand why she did put a lot of people
behind bars. It was far less than her counterparts were doing.

Speaker 9 (01:06:51):
That's what I heard too.

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
So we just fell to her because she is a
black decid Yeah, but.

Speaker 9 (01:06:59):
The thing too. Nothing for my personal business up there
like that. But growing up, I grew up. I have
a nice amount of people that don't vote.

Speaker 8 (01:07:09):
Because we'll just say, they're more familiar we're inside the
jail than outside, so they don't really vote.

Speaker 9 (01:07:17):
The other people that I.

Speaker 8 (01:07:18):
Have a conversation with that that that kind of don't
want to vote for miss Harris, and for the simple
fact that it's the female that will be running stuff
and they don't like being told what to do by females.
Me being a person I am, was raising the household
for the females, and the most dominant person in the
house for a while was a.

Speaker 9 (01:07:38):
Female, which is my mother. Raised us pretty well. She
did what she was supposed to do. She did uh.
She carried us how she could as a female. So
I have no problem with taking orders and listening to
a female.

Speaker 8 (01:07:55):
I mean, as I was raised by my grandparents's left,
so you know, I'm a I just I just want to.

Speaker 9 (01:08:02):
Go for the you know, like I said, the person
that's been through us and that to help us.

Speaker 1 (01:08:07):
Yeah, I'm just looking at a past comment that Elle said.
She said, if a woman, more specifically a black woman
is the better candidate for a job because she has
not been convicted of a crime, she actually worked for
the government, and she knows the public policies and legislation,
then what are we talking about? What are we talking about?

Speaker 7 (01:08:28):
Right?

Speaker 9 (01:08:30):
But I mean, I mean, for me, at the end
of the day, I'm just trying to stay relevant.

Speaker 8 (01:08:35):
Like I said, you're taking an attention off of what
even even now, I have a thing like when when
we had when what was it Iran?

Speaker 9 (01:08:44):
And is me or have the two countries mixed up?

Speaker 8 (01:08:49):
But the word that the people that just done over
to hundred missiles to the other country, Like who wants
to continue to deal with that?

Speaker 2 (01:08:56):
Now?

Speaker 9 (01:08:57):
I feel if we do end up with Trump, it'll
just get worse hm hmm. And it's like why, why,
why do we want to be in a.

Speaker 8 (01:09:09):
Worse situation opposed to making it making it a whole
lot better, if that makes sense.

Speaker 1 (01:09:14):
Yeah, and I hear a lot of people talking about well,
at least I know the not so good part of
Trump because he's coming face forward, and for some reason,
a lot of piece people feel like, Okay, well, Kamala
Harris must have got some stuff under her sleeve, in
her jacket, in her pocket, under her hand.

Speaker 13 (01:09:32):
Well me, I don't want to go to a person
knowing he's finish shoot me and I'm finna die. I
rather go to the person that might not have that intention.
I'm not gonna just go for fee knowing that's what
you're gonna do.

Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
Okay, hmm, catch it.

Speaker 8 (01:09:49):
I mean, but that's just me at the end of
the day, Like I want to see tomorrow, I don't
want to be just you know, I hope he don't
do it knowing he told me that's what he was
gonna do.

Speaker 1 (01:10:00):
Okay, Well, thank you for sharing. I'm about to call
on Miss Felicia to see what she got to say.
Thank you so much, beerlle You know I appreciate you.
Thank you for sticking by me any.

Speaker 9 (01:10:11):
Time I got you and I'll be there. Well, oh
that's I want to ask you to what time does
the the end on Saturday?

Speaker 1 (01:10:18):
The Men Health Day, I know, yes, this Saturday, everybody family,
Black Men's Wellness Day put on by the African American
Male Wellness Agency, happening right here at five hundred and
one Obama Boulevard, right there at Rechel Sine and Goad
Plaza or Cosports Complex. They will be giving free health screenings.
Get your health screenings for free. I checks STD cholesterol,

(01:10:41):
your blood pressure, talk to medical professionals that have your
best interests in mine as a person of color. It
will be happening from seven am to twelve pm. I'll
probably be pulling up around a thirty and probably be
there till around eleven or maybe later. But you know
you can catch between eight thirty and ten thirty.

Speaker 14 (01:10:57):
You know, me, I was a night I get kind
of early, right, but I'm gonna trying to get there
at a thirty is because I definitely would have partaken
that even though I look for the doctors every single month.

Speaker 9 (01:11:11):
There's no you know, there's nothing wrong with were going
to get to take an opinion?

Speaker 1 (01:11:14):
Mm hmmmm hmm. All right, well, I look forward to
seeing you beer. It's gonna be our first time meaning person.

Speaker 9 (01:11:21):
Yeah the time when allows, peop, just work and work
and work.

Speaker 1 (01:11:27):
Here what hot tholus money.

Speaker 9 (01:11:32):
On Saturday?

Speaker 1 (01:11:33):
All right, I'm looking forward to it, So message me.
Hit me up and let me know when you pull up. Okay, okay, left,
I got you, all right, I'll talk to you. Okay, Hey,
great perspective.

Speaker 8 (01:11:46):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:11:46):
I love hearing from a black man, just to know
what other black brothers are feeling. Because for whatever reason,
this whole idea of having a woman in charge, people
ain't here for it. In fact, miss Felicia said, she said,
they do not want a woman saying anything to them
at all. So Elle says, so instead of choosing a woman,

(01:12:07):
they prefer racist. This makes so much sense. That makes
so much sense. Pun intended. That was a joke, y'all.
Don't take that for real, because I mean, honestly, really,
and you know, I have apologize folks that I'm headed
to pie. I don't know to use the restaurant as Felicia, Well,

(01:12:31):
I don't know what she said, Miss Mayan. Do I
have your number because you might need to call me?
I oh, you had it. I was like, well, real quick,

(01:12:55):
just tell us real quick quick, what were your thoughts
so far when people talking about voting. Oh, you gotta
cut the screen down. Are you listening to me or
to compute us? Well, I guess you're gonna all right. Well,

(01:13:20):
these are the comments and these are the conversations that
we are elevating. Miss Mayan. I don't believe I have
your number, but if you like, I would love to
hear your thoughts, your views, your opinions, and call me
here in the studio. I'm gonna have the number at
the bottom, but it's eight one eight four six one
fifty four thirty two. Eight one, eight four six one
fifty four thirty two. We know that the election is

(01:13:40):
days away, less than a week, there are still folks
that are in between that says, hey, I don't know
who I want to vote for. In fact, we got
miss Latasha who's worked at the post, who is on
the ground, got our hands in the community, and she
is saying that a lot of people have not showed
up to vote. She says why because people are confused
who to vote for. He says, well, if we know
a woman, specifically a black woman, as a better candidate,

(01:14:03):
what are we questioning things to think about. Right, the
key answers that we need to invote. We need to
have these conversations because these are going to affect our community.
This is going to affect each and every one of us.
And if we don't start elevating these conversations and people

(01:14:25):
feeling like a safe base to express themselves, then where
is that going to take us? Where is that going
to lead us? I mean, it's no secret the conversations
that we had when people were talking about it at
that rally, and yet people are still okay with In fact,
what was talking to the coworker earlier and el was

(01:14:45):
on the phone. She asked, she said, well, how do
you feel that he said that Puerto Rico looks like
a piece of garbage floating in the ocean. L came
back and said, well, you are a Mexican that can
have been been very well talking about people that look
like you, your family members, your brothers and sisters, and

(01:15:06):
yet for whatever reasons, people still don't feel as though
it is enough. But what is the shake of gonna
become Wednesday morning, November three, when the tally has been counted.
I think it's gonna say a lot about us as
a people. There will be no secret about who your

(01:15:27):
neighbor is, what the business's intentions are, and heck, the
direction in which this country is going. Oh it's going
to be on the fifth. Wait, hell, what are you
talking about? Are you saying the election day on the fifth?
I'm trying to keep up with your comments and having
my conversation. But yes, on Wednesday morning, the counting is

(01:15:51):
on eleven six, Okay, so then we will have the
results should be end not the fifth. The results should
be end on the seventh. H what say you?

Speaker 9 (01:16:04):
You know?

Speaker 1 (01:16:05):
I was really interested. I don't know if anybody's watching.
Is there anybody out there that is voting for Trump?
I hope you know this is a safe space. Ain't
nobody going to attacking you. But I do think it's
important that we elevate the conversation as to why we
are voting who we are voting for, because a change
has to start, and we have to be the start
of the change.

Speaker 7 (01:16:22):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:16:23):
So while I have these last few minutes before I
wrap this up and head out of here, I want
to let you know that the phone lines aren't open
and I would love to hear from you if you
have some last remarks or perhaps do you have some
last words that you want to encourage people as to
why they should get out and vote. Call me right
now in the studio eight one eight four six one
fifty four thirty two. Eight one eight four six one
fifty four thirty two. I want to hear from you.

(01:16:49):
In fact, let me sit here and call I got
one of the person, Miss Wanda. Where you at, Miss Wanda?
Are you still listening? I'm gonna call Miss Wanda right
now because I am interested to hear what she has
to say in regards to people and voting, what the
community is saying, what does look like for the people.
I really wish we had a contradictory viewpoint as to

(01:17:10):
who to vote for. I'm calling Miss Wanta Honoree. I
don't even know if she's available, if she's busy, but

(01:17:31):
I figured I do want more call before I head
out of here, because this is the last conversation that
we have before we head out to the election. In fact, Hey,
Miss Wanta, Hey, Hey, how you doing. I was just
calling lastly before I head out of here. I wanted
to know what your thoughts were in regards to the
election and if you had any words of encouragement or

(01:17:54):
something you'd like to say for people that are in
between and do not know which candidate to vote for.

Speaker 2 (01:18:00):
M this is uh me saying this live.

Speaker 9 (01:18:04):
We're just saying this to you.

Speaker 1 (01:18:05):
Oh we live? You live?

Speaker 9 (01:18:07):
Are you you live?

Speaker 1 (01:18:08):
Listen what everybody? Because sir who hears it? Are we
afraid to speak the truth?

Speaker 7 (01:18:14):
I just need to know what type of uh of
laster conversations you know more or less?

Speaker 1 (01:18:24):
Okay?

Speaker 8 (01:18:25):
So yes?

Speaker 12 (01:18:26):
In terms of the election, I I really I hope
that people pay more attention to the facts and do
their research. Like the other lady said, I mean not
that you obviously have a lot of time to do
research at this point that but you should at least
know more than what someone else told you about what

(01:18:50):
you're going to do. And it's uh, it's unfortunate that
they've already have a lot of of.

Speaker 9 (01:19:00):
Incidents that are happening.

Speaker 12 (01:19:02):
One of my friends set me a uh inst well,
I think it was some kind of instagram that they
had basically stone some incident that happened at the opposed
in South Carolina where the the white voter didn't want
to obey the rules and came in with the maga
hat and it became a whole violent situation and there

(01:19:23):
was a bunch of women although they stood their ground
and uh, you know, and they were saying that, you know,
we need to have the men supporting the women who
were there, and law enforcement should be there. And I
just left the store where it was interesting that the
Hispanic owner, uh is voting for Trump? You so, because

(01:19:47):
I don't know how I got how the conversation came up.
So there's a lot of people who whatever reason that
doesn't even make sense, they're voting for somebody who I
don't know what good that they really leave is going
to come out of the having him in the office,
And it would be really unfortunate if we have to
find out what that what will actually happen if he

(01:20:12):
gets in, because he's pretty much telling us, you know,
so you really don't have to wonder. He's pretty much
telling you he's not coming out. And once he gets in,
he's gonna put away everybody that he doesn't like, everybody
that came against him, and he's going to do you
know a lot of things reverse a lot of other
things that we've been able to gain, and you know,

(01:20:34):
the lesser if you want to call the lesser of
the evils, which I don't believe that's a lesser the evil.
I believe that you know that Kamala Horris is a
viable candidate and will do a good job to make
sure that this country gets back on track. But even
if you just decide that you know you don't like
either candidate, will suck it up and do like the

(01:20:55):
Republicans do and vote Democrats. I mean, that's that's what
they do. So you know what he does, and you know,
like you said, he kills somebody.

Speaker 9 (01:21:03):
And they still going to vote for him.

Speaker 12 (01:21:05):
So you know, we need to be thinking about that
because if they're that strong about their candidate and we're
not standing behind our candidate, then when we get the
other candidate in, another candidate is kicking our butt.

Speaker 2 (01:21:18):
There's really nothing we.

Speaker 7 (01:21:19):
Have to say.

Speaker 12 (01:21:21):
So I just hope everybody you know goes out and
votes and hopefully votes the right way. And if you
don't vote for the presidential elections, please vote for the
local so that you know you make sure that the
persons that are going to make the immediate decisions are
going to be put in office that's gonna benefit you

(01:21:42):
and you know and just pray that the outcome is
going to be something that will benefit our country and
that we won't have a lot of craziness afterwards.

Speaker 4 (01:21:51):
So that's my words.

Speaker 1 (01:21:53):
All right, Well, thank you so much, mss Wanda, No problem,
all right, I'll talk to you all right. Well, how
do you feel? How does this make you feel? What
are with thoughts? What are we thinking?

Speaker 2 (01:22:09):
Ms?

Speaker 1 (01:22:09):
Mayan says, So, what do you think about people that
says they they don't like either candidate? Me? Personally? Are
we talking about everybody? I think that there's power and
choice and you got to exercise that choice, and then

(01:22:35):
I would explore or inform them to say, let's let's
have a conversation so we can talk about the things
you like and what you don't like. But I feel
like that's the thing that's that's boiling down in general.
So ms Mayan said, this goes out to everybody. What
would you say to somebody that doesn't like either candidate?

(01:22:55):
I'm going to try to call this one other brother.
He doesn't know that we're on the air, but let
me see if I can get ganging. You don't even
know about to call them. You don't know the number

Are you busy? All right? I just disconnected it. Okay,
So we had this wonderful conversation. I want to thank

(01:24:52):
you guys, unless gang has caused me right back for
tuning in and my sincereous apologies. I guess my aunt
called cold feet My thing is if you want to
talk a good game, you know back it up. And
this was not in a space of badgering anybody about
making a decision of who they vote for. We just
need to have the conversation, even if it's opposing views,

(01:25:13):
as to why you standing on your view, because if
you want to be better and see better, you got
to be able to do better and you only can
do that by showing up. Now el she's a proud
Africa Afro Latina. She says, my folk and my homestay
are banded together. Especially out of the Puerto Rican comments
from Sunday's rally, the Mexicans in La really need to

(01:25:35):
do better. And she's specifically talking about a conversation having
with a coworker of mine here at the studio, how
we gonna do better if we don't know better, if
we don't do our research. But I appreciate each and
every one of you that have made a comment, that
have called in or allowed me to call in and
decided to respond, to allow your voice to be heard

(01:25:56):
because change has got to come and that change has
a star with us. So with that being said, I
want you to be out there voting. I don't want
to interrupt anybody. It's going to be an interesting situation
come next Tuesday, on November fifth. But nevertheless, I will
be back on November seventh, and by then we will
have the verdict in about who the presidents are. We

(01:26:16):
should have it at that time, and I'm interested to
hear what your results are going to be. Holds on
this might be ganghis Hello, ganghus Is, hello, can you
hear me?

Speaker 15 (01:26:30):
I can, and you shouldn't hear any background noise that
I'm in a quiet space.

Speaker 1 (01:26:34):
Okay, I know I sprung up on you surprisingly, but
that you know what doing day. You never know what
you're gonna get really rightly right, I got you live
on the podcast. I wanted to hear thoughts, especially for
my black brothers, when it comes down to the election,
who you are voting for and why? And what are
the brothers say that you're in community with?

Speaker 9 (01:26:55):
Okay, excellent question.

Speaker 15 (01:26:58):
Timely is the very important. All elections are important, but
obviously this one is very pivotal and it's upon us
on Tuesday, November fifth. With all due respect, I typically
don't express who I'm voting for, versus the fact that
I definitely will be voting. I've determined it to be

(01:27:22):
symbolic and uh something that is a is an imperative
for me as a black man as well as others.

Speaker 9 (01:27:33):
So I'm more so promote. I promote go out and vote.

Speaker 15 (01:27:38):
Your choice is your choice, but do vote that the
acting and of itself is symbolic and significant to our people,
and I plan to participate. Last part I would think
about because I I am very family oriented. I think
about my late uh grandparents and late parents who voted and.

Speaker 9 (01:28:01):
What they may have had to deal with with just
to vote.

Speaker 15 (01:28:04):
So it is a moral imperative, cultural obligation, family obligation
vote national and local elections.

Speaker 9 (01:28:13):
So I'm looking forward to Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (01:28:18):
Okay, that's it is that it. You're not gonna say
nothing that the other brothers have been talking about as
far as.

Speaker 9 (01:28:25):
Well my circle of brothers.

Speaker 15 (01:28:29):
You know, I can't speak for each and it, but
the collective sentiment is that they understand, they understand the moment,
they understand the significance of voting. I don't have too
many people in my circle who look at the privilege
to vote and say, no, that's not something I wish
to do. We have a fundamental understanding from my just

(01:28:51):
circle of friends growing up in Los Angeles and Compton
and beyond, as well as my fraternity brothers of OMEGASID
Foxtorney Incorporated.

Speaker 9 (01:29:02):
We understand the historic moment to vote.

Speaker 15 (01:29:05):
It's a responsibility that we all take very dearly, and
we plan to execute our decision to vote on Tuesday,
November fifth four.

Speaker 1 (01:29:18):
All right, thank you so much, genghis.

Speaker 9 (01:29:22):
No problem at all, no problem, thank you for.

Speaker 15 (01:29:26):
Uh huh, yes, yes, yes, I'll be walking in Men's
Health and Wellness on Saturday and it'll take the right
into the polls on Tuesday the fifth.

Speaker 1 (01:29:36):
All right, I'm looking forward. I'll see you on Saturday,
no doubt, no doubt.

Speaker 9 (01:29:40):
I appreciate the call.

Speaker 1 (01:29:41):
Absolutely on whatever, I don't mean to hang up. I
ain't gonna be hold you. I got a littlennoy because
my thing is is why why are we Why are
people a polls of stating wool you're voting for? We
have the right to our views, thoughts and opinion. That

(01:30:04):
was so piecing. But you know, I can't say and
I understand I heard him now, I don't understand what
my aunt talk A good big game, No, no, offense. Aunt, Jeanie,
love you much, but God, dog, you know we got
to make sure that we up level this conversation. Ell says,

(01:30:27):
that's a personal choice. Though it is I understand, but
I'm just saying. I'm just saying, I guess you don't
have to scream and shot everything, but I guess what
something so important is this and we know that this
can be an impact. You are selecting somebody that's going
to amplify your voice. Let your voice be heard if
you have been silenced, especially if you are part of
any particular community, Let your voice be heard. Elle says

(01:30:53):
it's a personal choice, but he did mention he's part
of the D nine organization. I mean, I wouldn't be
surprised if there were some individal Jews that came for
and didn't go the thoughtful way, because Vice President Kamala
Harris is part of the Divine nine organization. So hey,
