Speaker 1 (00:05):
We are about to go live. People. Yes, I know
we're already lived on Facebook, but I'm talking about live.
You're actually live right now. Oh just kidding, We're actually
live right now.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Hello, everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Welcome to me, Ka, said Sukastaly. The only place where
it is not only invited, but the mandatory to talk
politics at the dinner table, as if families eat dinner
at the dinner table together anymore. But that's neither here
nor there. I am your host, Nico House, and today
we're going to try to get a little abstract because
(00:37):
there's a lot of this policies to debate all day
every day, and I'm actually getting a little irritant. I'm
tired of talking to policies because at the end of
the day, I think we all know what needs to
be done, but I think we also need to have
an understanding of each other how the world actually works.
And that's what we're going to try to get into today.
We're gonna try to break down some barrier. We're gonna
(00:59):
talk about some controversial issues. We're gonna talk about some
things I see on Facebook because Facebook conversations and Facebook
debates and fun right, And we're also gonna We're gonna
talk about Trump's failure or success depending on how you
look at it. And this is why I say it
could be a success. So, as most of you all
know at this point, Trump did not get his quote
(01:22):
unquote Trump Care plan passed. Thank God, Good Lord, baby Jesus.
That thing was horrible.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
It was like ACA on insurance steroids.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
ACA has its flaws, but at least poor people and
people who didn't have jobs and things like that were
cover cancer patients, would cover older elderly you know, they
didn't have their insurance. It made it possible for them
to get insurance, and they didn't have their insurance hyked
up due to their age, things like that. You know,
I'm not really the biggest advocate for ACA, but at
(01:56):
least it was something to get started. UH. But Trump's
healthcare plan was just absolutely horrific. It essentially would give
almost all of the power to UH to insurance companies,
more so than what ACA had already begun to do.
Now here's what's weird about this or interesting about this
(02:21):
as heavily, I mean, Trump and Trump really really criticized
the ACA. It's an absolute failure, you know, it's it's
really it's not terrific. I wish you know. It's not
as terrific as something. And when I tell you, when
I tell you we're going to introduce something that's just
out of this world, guys like it's just going to
be terrific, it wasn't actually terrific. It's actually literally just
(02:44):
a worse rendition of the ACA. And I don't even
think that Trump knew what was wrong with the ACA.
I think he just kept repeating that it was not
good so far, like so much that he actually started
to believe that he had a better plan. Now, when
I say don't care, I want us to all realize
that I use that term very very loosely. Trump has
(03:06):
no idea how to craft policy. Trump has no idea
what it takes to make a policy effective. He doesn't
even know what it takes to make a policy legal.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
So I used trump care very loosely.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
The thing that has essentially been shown to us, the
thing that we have really come to realize and most
I think a lot of Republicans are starting to see
as well, that it was obvious what the Republicans we're
doing while Barack Obama was in office, and that is
they were on a witch hunt for Barack Obama. They
made all these promises thinking that thinking that they could
(03:46):
get somebody like Pension Office or Jeb Bush in office,
or or I mean, just anybody who essentially fulfills the
establishment agenda, and that they wouldn't actually have to do
anything significant to maintain that power outside of start a war,
which is what they usually do. But they thought that
they won't have to do anything significant to maintain that
power once a Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio was in office.
(04:12):
And that's actually true, I think because of how bad
of a candidate Hillary was. I think they would have
tried that once again, prop up a Corey Booker, and
they would have lost again to a Marco Rubio or
Jeb Bush. And I think that they knew that could criticize,
criticize and criticize them not actually doing anything, because let's
be completely frank, that's what Republicans tend to do most
(04:32):
of the time. Nine times out of ten. At the
national level, there are some believer or not. There are
actually some good Republicans in the South, but they're usually
at the local level. They just call themselves Republican because
they know they have to get elected in their particular district.
I know, because they're Democrats who are actually Republican, but
(04:52):
they're Republicans.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Who are progressive.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
They're Democrats who are conservative, and they do what they
call themselves democratic Republican because that's what they have to
be called to win their particular district. So, but they
were on a witch hunt for Obama. They were on
a witch hunt for Obama. They didn't think that when
they said we're gonna repeal ACA and break something better,
(05:14):
they didn't think they would actually have to do it.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
They they they just they did not plan this very well.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Because if you're going to criticize ACA, which there are
a lot of critics about it, there are a lot
of critics of ACA, at least bring me something that's
not acam steroids and not the positive parts of ACA.
It's actually just the worst parts of ACA exacerbated.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
That's literally what the Trump carries.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
And it was so bad that he couldn't even get
enough Republicans to vote for it.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
How hilarious is that.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Trump is so damn stupid? I mean, because and it's
not just Trump, Like I said, we have to use
the term trump care very loosely, right, because.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Trump did not craft this legislation.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
It was these stupid Republicans who are in office as
a result of low var to turn out because of
Hillary Clinton's campaign. So hopefully we can get these fools out.
But this also has an opportunity. This is an opportunity
for Trump. This is an opportunity for Republicans because obviously
(06:29):
they most of the Republicans do not like ACA, at
least openly right.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
We also have seen that Republicans and Democrats like don't
like Trump Care.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
So it seems now that we are left with another option,
single payer, the thing that most Americans won, the type
of health care that most of the western industrial lives
were I think almost all the industrial western industrialized world
except for US have. You can create a private option,
(07:03):
there's nothing wrong with that. I don't know how many
people would take the private option, but you can create
a private option for healthcare incentiviz You can incentivize people
to get to get a private option, but you still
need single pair. I think America has come to accept
that the doctors and physicians want this, hospitals want this,
(07:26):
most politicians want this. So what's happening, What's what's the
what's the hold up insurance companies, insurance companies. It's just
I'm tired of insurance companies running.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I'm running ruining.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
If anything, I'm tired of insurance companies ruining lives because
that's insurance companies. Insurance in every other scenario is used
for for for to to supplement a privilege that we have. Luxury,
(08:02):
believe it or not. A house, a house is a luxury.
An apartment you get rent as the insurance is a
little bit, but a house is a luxury. Taking out
a loan, that's why you're required to get homage homeown insurance.
When you take out a loan, it's a luxury. Being
able to take it alone as a luxury.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Having a car, that's why we have to have car insurance.
Cars are luxuries. They're luxurious.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
They're not there yet, they're necessary, but they're luxuries. Nonetheless,
your health is not a luxury. Your health is your lifeline.
Health is a human right. We shouldn't have to debate
with insurance companies whether the government that we are paying
(08:49):
into to take care of us should be able to
pass legislation that holistically takes care of us, especially when
it is conduced to a more successful society. When I
am healthy, I don't have to worry about my health.
I can complete my work better where I'm healthy, I can.
(09:09):
I mean, it's I don't have to go into debt
with hospitals, and then the hospitals don't go into debt.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
And I mean, this is just common sense stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
But we are letting insurance companies at this point dictate
the outcome of our health literally whether we live or die.
Why does an an insurance company, I don't agree with it,
but I can see the logic, and an insurance company
can can determine whether we go into debt or not
(09:39):
with luxury, but an insurance company should not be able
to determine. What kind of logic is that an insurance
company should not be able to determine whether I live
or whether I die, whether you live, whether you can
get treatment for cancer or whether you can't get treatment
for cancer, whether you get treatment for you know, heart
(10:00):
disease or heart attack or you know. It doesn't make
any sense, right. So but now some more philosophical discussion
we have starting. We're starting to see, which once again
I'm happy with. I'm I'm glad that we're having this discourse.
(10:21):
But we're starting to see an emergence in the left
and even in the right in some ways of it's
no longer the left or the right. It's liberals, progressive, conservatives,
and trumpets, if you will call them the trumpets, because
(10:42):
they're the ones who will follow Trump to to to know,
it doesn't matter, they'll follow him off the damn edge
of a cliff, because that's where a lot of them
are following him right now. Now. I think that the
progressives and the conservative actually caught in the crossfire of
(11:03):
liberals versus the trumpets.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Now, this is what this is what I mean by this.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I think that we're not actually understanding or listening to
what the trumpets are saying, or even though what the
liberals are saying, because whenever the progressives talk to the liberals, whatever,
the progressives talk to liberals, we always say things like
we talk about morality, we talk about ethics, we talk
(11:33):
about equality of opportunity. We have to help liberals get
off of their high horse. We have to explain to
them when basic logic like okay, if Hillary decreased.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
One through decreasing voter turnout and the.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Primaries then and Trump won by radically increasing turnout in
the primaries. Why do you think that the election was
rigged for Trump? He didn't have to rig it. He
already won in the primaries. He showed us. So when
we had to explain stuff like that, and they just
refuse to listen, and they start blaming doing things like
blaming Jill Stein for the loss, like when that's mathematically
(12:08):
impossible that she calls Hillary Clinton's loss. But they started
trying to, I mean, we try. We have to get
rid of a lot of the disillusion that the liberals have.
Now on the conservative side, they were having the same
fights with the Trumpets, right, The concerned were.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Like, why do you like Trump?
Speaker 1 (12:26):
This dude's a moron, He's an idiot. He not even
this is not a joke.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
I think that Trump is autistic.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I am not joking about that. And you know, autism
is it's something to joke about and it's nothing to
be sam of either. But this man's competence is lacking
and it has been clear for so long. Whatever conservatives
are explaining to Trump's people, Trump's supporters, hey, this man
is not a great businessman. He literally could have left
(12:54):
his money in account of trust fund. The money that
he inhered, he could left in the trust fund and
been Richard and what he is right now By leaving
it in a trust fund, He's lost countless to mans
of dogs. He's able to maintain his money by bankrupting himself,
constantly getting rid of all his assets but keeping.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
All the cash, screwing his employees over his I mean,
I mean, that's what the conservative or the conservatives bottom
line is.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
The Conservatives have the same arguments with trump Bets as
progressives have with the Hillary people.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
And through this we keep we here really because a lot.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Of times the liberals aren't arguing with progressives, they're arguing
with the trump Bets, and the trump Bets aren't arguing
with the other conservatives.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
They're actually more so other than saying we don't want.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Bernie or we have to be patient about change from
the liberal to the progressives and same thing. Actually, we
don't want we don't want establishment Republicans. We need change. Now,
that's what the Trumpets were screaming. But what the trump
Bets were screwed at the liberals and liberally screened at
the trump Bets.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
You can find more, You can actually find a better
explanation in the dialogue of insults thrown.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Between the Trumpet, from the Trumpets to the Hillary p R.
To the liberals, and the liberals to the Trumpets, then
you can at all the political dialogue. And what do
I mean by that? The Trumpets call them, uh cocky,
They think that they think Liberals are full of themselves,
you know, they think that they're they're what do they
(14:37):
always insult their their ability, their work ethic. They they
call them lazy, you know, white collar thieves, things like that.
And on the other side of that fence, you have
liberals calling Trumpets stupid, they call them ignorant, they call
them racist, they call them, you know, they you're not
(14:57):
in college educated. And when you.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
What you're seeing isn't at a.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Certain point, this isn't blue versus red anymore. When I
hear all these when I hear Trump supporters speak, and
this is just me personally, when I hear Trump supporters speak,
and when I hear liberals speak, what I hear from
the Trump supporters for me personally is I hear liberals
(15:25):
stop trying to take away my lifestyle. My lifestyle is
just as important as yours.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
I make.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I make, just as my contributions to society are just
as valuable as yours. So stop trying to take it away.
Stop trying to force me to get a university four
year degree education and telling me that if I don't
get that, that I am stupid, because that's what liberals
(15:58):
actually tend to do. Right for liberals, they actually are
a lot of them are assholes like them. It's gonna
be honest with you. I know a lot of them.
They insult people who are not like them, or refuse
to refuse to bend at their will, because liberals have
this false notion that everybody has to bend at your
(16:18):
will for you to get along, and that is absolutely
not the case. I have a lot of conservative friends.
We may not always agree politically, but at our foundation,
at our core, we actually agree on quite a lot.
So what we're honestly seeing when we're talking about liberals
versus Trump bets, in my opinion, is a class warfare.
(16:45):
Your hillarys versus what Trump pretends he is, which is
the working man's president, the working woman's president, and we're
trying to progress as a Conservatives are actually in the
same boat. We're trying to have logical discussion with people
who with one side. If you're a progressive talking to liberals,
(17:09):
they don't give a damn about what we have to say.
I'm not This is not an exaggeration. They are comfortable.
Society is leaning towards certain The service industry, consulting like
it's it's it's the service service jobs that are often
(17:30):
and where those skills are often taught at the university level,
are dominating this industry. The most popular populated cities in
the world are liberal.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
There's a reason for that. The highest earning.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Cities in the world are in the country, excuse me,
are liberal. So when liberals concern themselves with mostly money,
power ambition, which oftentimes liberals tend to do, how can
we tell them when they've been getting whatever they want
their whole life as progressive, how can you tell them
(18:05):
and expect to get through to them. Hillary's taking money
from Wall Street. They're gonna hold their how is she
gonna hold them accountable? And they listenally, they're gonna be
like one day they're gonna want to be in power.
They're gonna wanna take money from Wall Street, and they're
gonna tell themselves, I can make concessions. A few concessions
here in a few concessions there.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
They're not gonna do it, but they're gonna.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
They're seeing themselves and Hillary's shoes one day, and they
don't want you to view them harshly or have their
their political affiliations or their their their their business affiliations
stop them from becoming president or becoming achieving their ambitious
uh position. And then Trump, because that's how he portrayed
themselves as being the working man. Uh. His people are
(18:53):
the same way.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
They see themselves in Trump.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Now his what's beautiful? If you're progressive about Bernie Sanders,
we see ourselves in Bernie Sanders. We are compassionate, we
are compromising. We think like him, we want benefits and
opportunity for equality.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Of opportunity for all.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
That is why I mean, I can't. That's why you
see so many vegetarians, vegans, whatever, whoever, they're compassionate about
animal and most I would say almost every vegetarian or
vegan non time out of time I've ever met, as
Burns had a supporters because they had that compassion.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
We share that, we share qualities with the candidates that we.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Are emotionally invested in, which is why we are so
emotionally invested in them. But that is also why you
are not going to convince a strong healary supporter that
she is not shit, because then they would have to
admit to themselves that she is not shit. You are
never going to convince if you're a conservative or anybody
(19:58):
trying to convince a Trumpet that Donald Trump is a
damn moron. You're not convincent that Donald Trump is a moron,
because for them to admit that Donald Trump is a
moron would be them saying to themselves, I am also
a moron too, because I see myself in Donald J. Trump.
That is what this all ultimately comes down to. We're
(20:19):
seeing a psychological class warfare, and we can learn more
from the insults that are being thrown than any amount
of political dialogue that we have seen, any amount of
political dollar, The same conversations are had over and over
and over again.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
We expected to change people's mind with policy debates.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
If I can. Now. I'm not saying don't have political
policy debates, because you need to have those, because that's
educational for everybody watching.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
But what I'm saying is when you are just in
a heated discussion.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Going back and forth about facts on facts on facts
in between.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
In the middle of that discussion. Oftentimes an insult is.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Her, You're yeah, you're you're you're so egotistical, you're so naive,
you're ignorant, you're racist, you're this, you're that. Thus that's
how you know what someone thinks about your side of defense,
or you're a candidate that you support. I said this
from the very beginning. Stop calling all Trump supporters racist.
(21:29):
I have seen some Trump supporters that you would not
believe Black people that support Trump on the low low
low low Latinos that support Trump on the low low
lo lo not necessarily because they support Trump, but because
they hated Hillary Quin. There's some people who have never
they don't know if they don't like black people, or
(21:51):
don't like Mexicans, or don't like you know, whoever, because
they've never even had that, They've never had to encounter
one like anybody other than white people, whether they're racists
or not. Probably and a lot of times, has never
crossed their mind. They've never had even think about it,
because all they you're talking about places like Indiana, Ohio,
(22:12):
outside of Cleveland, like certain parts of Michigan, they've never
had to deal with black people or Latinos or Asians.
So when they go to the voting booth, they weren't
thinking in their head. Yeah damn. Those Mexicans they're like,
I mean, that's whatever. I don't really care about that.
I don't think he'll build the wall. But he's saying
(22:32):
he's gonna bring my jobs back, and that's good enough
for me. That's it. You're tell you it isn't. Every
place that votes isn't New York where everyone's exposed to
every race all the time. Every place that votes is
in Alabama, where they have a distinctive, a distinct racial history.
(22:56):
There are other places like Nebraska, South Dakota, well, South
Dakota does have a North Dakota and South Dcota have
pretty racist history against Native Americans.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
But dont Trump.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
They're talk about it Nive Americans at all.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
So, but.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
There are people who literally don't even consider race as
a voting point, because there are people who consider race.
But that's in places where racism and race is a
hot button issue. Nobody ever considers Ohio a hot button
issue for race, like race is not a hot button
(23:31):
issue in Ohio. Race is not a hot button issue
in Oklahoma. Race is not a hot button issue in
Nevada in some parts of Nevada. But so so stop
assuming every Trump supporter is racist. We can't get these
blanket statements. It's psychological class warfare. Trump supporters, most of
(23:53):
them are tired of liberals trying to demean the aware
of life. Assume that everyone had wants to be a millionaire.
That's what a lot of liberals do. Why wouldn't you
want to be successful? Maybe my success isn't defined by
means of dollars Bill At the time, I stand with
my family, you know, working with my hands, building things,
creating things. Maybe my way of life is farming. That
(24:15):
is my definition to be being a successful farm. Maybe
my way of life is being a you know it
just it doesn't matter, It doesn't matter. But liberals do
do this. I know, I went to a liberal university.
I hang out with liberals all the time. They insult
those whose mind isn't wrapped around ambition and money.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
They think you are lesser if you can't speak the
language that we speak.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
And instead of rationalizing someone's jaw like you know, I mean,
I say, slight jaw country inside of me. But someone's dialect.
For example, you think there are people if they the
way I spoke to my friends that I grew up with,
that would consider me ignorant, because I just that's how
I talk when I'm around them. It's the first language
(25:08):
I learned. But I can go to Venice Beach, California
and have a conversation with anybody I want to on
that beach, whether it be professional conversation or conversation with
some hood guys. But I guarantee if I bring a
(25:28):
liberal who is raised and foundationalizing privilege to my neighborhood,
they probably my old neighborhood. They probably would not make
it out. They will probably say some insulting things. They
probably wouldn't. We could be talking about them right in
front of us, and they wouldn't understand what the hell
we were saying.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
They could think we're complimenting them.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
So who seems.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Stupid at that point?
Speaker 1 (25:50):
If I take that same liberal.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Person and take them to the woods, you know, somewhere in.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
South Carolina or on one of these places in western
Florida and tell them, you know, have them have a
conversation with some of these people, or take them to
Alaska or there, nobody understand that what the hell is
Alaska's be saying? Who looks stupid? Then, so they always
disguise their insecurity with being exposed to other situations the
(26:17):
same way that those people who come from those type
of backgrounds disguise it.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
They call it ignorant.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
They say you're stupid, just like from people from the
Deep South or the woodsy areas or outdoorsy people will say,
you're a pansy guy. If you don't like fishing, if
you can't hunt, if you can't do this, we do.
We have the exact same tendencies. Our insecurities are often exposed.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Politically or otherwise.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Political insecurities or otherwise are often exposed through our insults,
Bong bong, So moving forward, can't take this up in
my big goal. Sorry for everybody who doesn't have seven eleven,
My throats getting dry, my throats getting dropped. I've been
(27:06):
a good show, so farre y'all enjoying the show? Is
everybody enjoying it so far? I told you we're gonna
have to get a little philosophical today because it's, like
I said, policies again. I'm just so tired of talking
about the same policies over and over again. But I
wish I could remember. I think her name was leg.
(27:28):
It's a friend of my Facebook. I like talking about
random things I see in my Facebook because a lot
of my followers on Facebook will probably recognize it because
whenever I comment on something, all of my followers can
see the comment and they just go like bombard the
person's status.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
So it's actually pretty hilarious.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
But what the statement said was it was a mean.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
It said.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
White power, Latino power, or black power. Which one of
these statements its racist? And I I mean, it was
a lot of debate on the status. Now I'm not
gonna lie. Almost all the white people said, even the liberals,
these are Green Party people, Democrats, whatever, all of them
(28:14):
are racist. I like, Latino wasn't a race, so that's one,
so that's wrong already, Latino is not a race. I
don't know why people keep thinking of this. Somebody says
Asian power. Somebody says Asian power. Is that racist? First
of all, No, because Asia is not a race. So no,
it's not racist. Stop staying stuff like that. That sounds
(28:35):
so damn ignorant. And I hear a lot of my
I hear a lot of like educated people, smart people
say stuff like that because they want to give blanket
answers to solutions that are more nuanced. Stop trying to
define your ideology through memes, first of all, stop doing that.
So anyway, so I, of course, being myself, begin to explain,
(29:02):
Latino is not a race. Latino is a culture. An
it can be oftentimes ethnicity. You know, it describes Spaniards
interactions with South Americans and the Caribbean islanders and the
unique culture that came from that. It's Spanish culture mixed
(29:23):
with indigenous culture culture. Black is a race, but black
in itself is its own culture because black is not
limited to a singular ethnicity.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
There are black Brazilians, there are.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Black Indian Americans from India. They're a black Asian American.
I mean they're black. Black people are oppressed internationally. They
are black Portuguese. They're black, I mean they're black Colombians.
They are black Puerto Ricans. Literally, my Puerto Rican Ki
(30:00):
Kim vouch for this. Literally, all the black because there's
always that run random black field and every Puerto Rican's
family just by darkest can be and they always call
them uncle theo negro literally So there are black people
in every ethnicity and every single one of those ethnicities.
Believe it or not, black people have their own culture
(30:25):
mostly due to the oppression that you know, they they
it's because a lot of them are indigenous. A lot
of them are indigenous, or they come from an African
nation where they bring their own culture and mix it
with the culture of the continent or the culture of
the country. So it's very very unique Black culture, Afro
American culture.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Afro anything.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Coulture has always been that way. I don't know why,
but it is my white power that's a problem, and
calls me what you call me racist, whatever, it's not
really racist, give me an educational fact.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
But white power is a problem.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
White power is a problem because out of those two
Latino power, which is in the race black power. The
reason that we have to say why that phrase was
created was because the white power structure try to.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Convince us black people, convince white people.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
That we had no power, that the only power that
existed amongst racists or human beings in general, only existed
for white males.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
So to remind ourselves that we were equal, we had to.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Exacerbate our existence in society by saying we are powerful
black power. We do have the same amount of power. No, damn,
not even the same amount. Listen, we have power, period.
Everybody has power, but black people were specifically because it
wasn't blacks in America that were only being oppressed. Don't
(32:08):
ever think that. I don't want people think black people,
they only think Americans. I hate when people say, when
somebody says Latino power, there are black Latinos who are
being oppressed right now. There are black guys. What for
del Castro was fighting for black Cubans. For del Castro
was the reason that desegregation happened in Cuba. In Colombia
(32:32):
a lot. If you come to America, I mean America
in Miami, that's a perfect example.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
I always get not necessarily upset, but I get frustrated.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
And because I see a lot of Brazilians, I hear
a lot of portugal speak Portuguese flowently for those of
you who don't know. And I look around and I'm
at Colombians as well, but mostly with Brazilians. I'm like,
I don't ever see black Brazilians vacation in here, because
black Brazilians, for the most part, are the ones who
(33:03):
occupy the favelas, the ghetto, if you were the Brazilian ghetto.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
They're constantly oppressed.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
There are no black Brazilians in politics, very very very
rarely will ever see a black Brazilian in politics. Their
slavery went into like the late eighteen hundreds, like almost
like eighteen ninety nineteen hundred. Their slavery ending is actually
(33:29):
very very very recent. So when you have situations like that,
you do have to remind yourself sometimes that black people
have power. Latinos in general, Okay, I'm gonna be honest.
Brown Latinos in general have been oppressed and are oppressed still.
(33:54):
For example, Oh, pop pop music, but y'all that, Uh,
there's a reason that Mark Anthony is so famous. There's
a reason that oftentimes when you see the BOT the
groups or BUTOT the singers or just Latino singers in general,
especially the females, almost.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
One hundred percent of I think of like nine to
nine point nine percent of females, they're all white skin.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
The females that they get to go on these television
shows are all white. The stars of these of these
they have like maybe one one black person maybe and
they're like old and then the rest of the soap
opera stars, the novella start, the thellow novella stars.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Are all white.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
So yes, we have to continue to say black people
do have power because we have. We are constantly being
told in more ways than one. If it isn't directly,
it's indirectly that black people do not have the same
amount of power as white people in every culture, in
every ethnicity, in every personality. This is not new. So
(35:06):
if you ask me it's black power racist, I won't
tell you no, because it really is. There's only two
types of if you want to have that debate, there's
no agent power. I mean, there is agent power. But
I'm saying, if we're talking about racism, is we're racist concerned?
Speaker 2 (35:25):
There is two racist, there is white or three.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
I guess you could say there is white, there is black,
there is mixed. But even when you were mixed like
many of us are, if I am mixed, if I
walk into if I was dating a white girlfriend in
the South and I walked into her house and she
saw her father saw me. Because this is I don't
(35:51):
give a damn what anybody said. This is a conversation
that the parents have, or they have whenever they see you,
they see you thinking in their head, he's gonna he's
not gonna say, oh, look look at that mixed gentleman
right there. They're gonna say, look at that black person,
look at that fair skinned person. That That's what I
always say. If you're a guy, I'm like, they'll be like, well,
(36:14):
they'll be like what what what ethnicity are you? Or whatever?
I asked ethnicity.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
I don't really care about race.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Usually, I want to know what your culture is so
we can can we can talk and have understanding about that.
But when it comes to race, I hate when people
will will talk down on their race because they don't
want to be It happens a lot with Latino culture
or even with the darker skin mixed people. They always say, yo, man,
I'm I'm uh, I'm mixed, I'm not black, or I'm mixed,
(36:39):
I'm not white.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
It's okay.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
So bro, if you walk into your white girlfriend's house,
what's her daddy going to say? Or if you walk
into your black girlfriend's house, what their parents going to say?
Are you white or you're black? They're not going to
take time to understand whether you're mixed or not unless
it is very very clear that you were mixed, and
even then you are treated differently based off of your complexion,
(37:02):
even if you are mixed. So, yes, the conversation of
black power versus white power white power saying that is
the definition of racism because racism is inherent in racism,
there is an inherent power struggle one race over the other.
(37:27):
Believing that you are better than one race, in exerting
your power of your race over the other race actively
and being braggadocious about it, that is racism. White power
is the definition of racism. Black power is simply a
(37:48):
reminder that, yes, white people do have power, but guess what,
black people have the same amount of power. We have
as much power as you're willing to to to give ourselves.
So please, if you're going to have the conversation about
(38:10):
the power, because I see a lot of other for
whatever reason on I face, because I guess people are
getting bored with we are. I think a lot of
people know where I've just accepted that Trump's an idiot
and we're just gonna have to power through this next
four years. I've seen the conversation of race get brought
up a lot, and people want to they think that
being quote unquote, color blind is the answer because when
(38:31):
you say all the power, saying white power, black power,
whatever power is is U should be acceptable, or saying
power is all of it's racist. That's that's not the
way to approach those situations. That's intellectual laziness. That means
you have not taken a time to understand what any
(38:52):
of those phrases mean and where they come from, where
they're derived from.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Power struggles in race are real, and to.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
Understand where those phrases come from, you have to contextualize
those phrases. Stop blank stop once again.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Also stop please stop getting your your your.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Your solutions from you're not your solutionscuse me your ideologies
from memes, please, because that have its way too often.
But uh, Carla, so Carlos says that all racists can
be racist. I knew Chinese people who had it blacks, Carla,
(39:40):
Chinese is in a race. We just had this conversation
Chinese and ethnicity, and yes, I didn't know. There's actually
a lot of history between Chinese people and black people.
And you have to understand the image that Chinese people
have of black people come from a white power structure
that was taught to them their image of black people
come from Hollywood, who runs Hollywood. Their image of black
(40:01):
people come from being not necessarily colonized. But China was
kind of taken over by Europe. So yeah, everybody can
be everybody can be discriminatory.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Absolutely, anybody can be prejudiced, absitively posative.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
But no, everybody cannot be racist because in racism you
have to be able to benefit from the system that's
currently in place that primarily white people benefit from. These
are facts. It's unfortunate facts, but these are facts. If
(40:44):
you disagree with that fact, then you cannot be progressive.
There's no way you can be progressive.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
This is a basic This is basic.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
It's a progressive one on one if you don't think
that the power structure in place that was created by
white people, like I could never own a bank as
big as Chase Bank. I could never, never in my
life own a company as big as Uber right now.
(41:16):
This is why, because in order for me to get
the connections, or order for me to have that type
of income, I would have had to have generations, generations
of security and stability, and I would have had to
I would have had to have the financial freedom which
(41:37):
comes from generations of stability and security.
Speaker 2 (41:40):
So I would have to be also for you know
other things.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
I would have to be born into the Rockefeller family
that had that type of income. I would never be
as rich as the Rothschilds. I would never be. And
what race are all of those people? This is the
system they got rich. There's no female that will ever
be as rich as rob the roth Childs, no singular
(42:08):
female obviously the females within the roth Child family that
in all these families, but I'm saying self made. There's
no female born today that will ever be as rich
as a roth Child because in order for them to
get that rich, guess who they're gonna be taking bank
loans from. Guess who they are gonna guess who. Guess
who's gonna be fun they have. Guess who's gonna be
(42:28):
doing their promoting. Every time you make fifty dollars, the
roth Child's make fifteen off of you to add more
to their wealth. This is a system that white males created.
You will never be richer than them. This is their system.
(42:48):
I will never be richer than the roth Childs.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
I will never be richer than the Rockefellers.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
I could try, Jay Z I don't give a damn
how many number one albums he has. He still has
to book through venues, He still has to advertise on
their airways. Marvel. As successful as Marvel is the Marvel Company,
even though Disney owns them.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
There are still their separate little entity.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
Marvel can make billions, it will never be more successful
than they. I mean, Marvel is everywhere, but Marvel has
to use the facilities of Disney to do what they do.
They will never ever well, that is, this is their system.
(43:37):
So when you think about the trigger down effect, they
have singled out different marginalized, different groups to marginalized to
make sure that we can never be They have broken
us down, pit us against each other throughout history to
make sure that we can never get as rich as
they are.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
So, of course, who can only be one sided? Now
prejudice once again.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
Prejudice can be experienced by everybody in anyone discrimination can
be experienced by anybody anyway. Even hate crimes can be
committed and felt by anybody. But racism, racism is one sided.
Racism is one sided anyway. That's going to be it
(44:26):
for me this evening. Thank you all so so much
for watching. Please like and share this video. I'm going
to be back next week. We're gonna be posting back
on YouTube, hopefully regularly coming up this next week. Has
been a very very very very very busy month for me.
I said, just got a new job, but there's some
process of getting my apartment situation straight. It's been busy
(44:46):
with this move.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
You know, I kind of went on a limbit.
Speaker 1 (44:48):
I did what I wanted to do in a job
that I just got is absolutely amazing. I can't I really,
it's exactly what I want to be doing. I'll tell you,
I give you a hint, and involves helping people. So
and it's it's pretty it's pretty awesome. I'll be able
to live pretty comfortably while I get to help people.
So that's all I really want to do. I made
that decision a long time ago. I gave up the
(45:09):
security of law school temporarily because I know I could
be a good lawyer. It's easy to be a good lawyer,
you just I'm really good at following orders, taking directions,
and reading paper. So but what I wanted to do
is a little bit I want. I wanted to help people,
So I will say that I'll give you a hand
and say that is something that I will be doing
so and next week I will make the announcement on
here what exactly I will be doing on top of
(45:31):
my my network that I have going on YouTube and
in Facebook. So thank you all once again so much
for watching, and have a fantastic evening.
Speaker 3 (45:44):
Good night, sat
Speaker 1 (47:57):
U
We are about to go live. People. Yes, I know
we're already lived on Facebook, but I'm talking about live.
You're actually live right now. Oh just kidding, We're actually
live right now.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Hello, everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Welcome to me, Ka, said Sukastaly. The only place where
it is not only invited, but the mandatory to talk
politics at the dinner table, as if families eat dinner
at the dinner table together anymore. But that's neither here
nor there. I am your host, Nico House, and today
we're going to try to get a little abstract because
(00:37):
there's a lot of this policies to debate all day
every day, and I'm actually getting a little irritant. I'm
tired of talking to policies because at the end of
the day, I think we all know what needs to
be done, but I think we also need to have
an understanding of each other how the world actually works.
And that's what we're going to try to get into today.
We're gonna try to break down some barrier. We're gonna
(00:59):
talk about some controversial issues. We're gonna talk about some
things I see on Facebook because Facebook conversations and Facebook
debates and fun right, And we're also gonna We're gonna
talk about Trump's failure or success depending on how you
look at it. And this is why I say it
could be a success. So, as most of you all
know at this point, Trump did not get his quote
(01:22):
unquote Trump Care plan passed. Thank God, Good Lord, baby Jesus.
That thing was horrible.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
It was like ACA on insurance steroids.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
ACA has its flaws, but at least poor people and
people who didn't have jobs and things like that were
cover cancer patients, would cover older elderly you know, they
didn't have their insurance. It made it possible for them
to get insurance, and they didn't have their insurance hyked
up due to their age, things like that. You know,
I'm not really the biggest advocate for ACA, but at
(01:56):
least it was something to get started. UH. But Trump's
healthcare plan was just absolutely horrific. It essentially would give
almost all of the power to UH to insurance companies,
more so than what ACA had already begun to do.
Now here's what's weird about this or interesting about this
(02:21):
as heavily, I mean, Trump and Trump really really criticized
the ACA. It's an absolute failure, you know, it's it's
really it's not terrific. I wish you know. It's not
as terrific as something. And when I tell you, when
I tell you we're going to introduce something that's just
out of this world, guys like it's just going to
be terrific, it wasn't actually terrific. It's actually literally just
(02:44):
a worse rendition of the ACA. And I don't even
think that Trump knew what was wrong with the ACA.
I think he just kept repeating that it was not
good so far, like so much that he actually started
to believe that he had a better plan. Now, when
I say don't care, I want us to all realize
that I use that term very very loosely. Trump has
(03:06):
no idea how to craft policy. Trump has no idea
what it takes to make a policy effective. He doesn't
even know what it takes to make a policy legal.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
So I used trump care very loosely.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
The thing that has essentially been shown to us, the
thing that we have really come to realize and most
I think a lot of Republicans are starting to see
as well, that it was obvious what the Republicans we're
doing while Barack Obama was in office, and that is
they were on a witch hunt for Barack Obama. They
made all these promises thinking that thinking that they could
(03:46):
get somebody like Pension Office or Jeb Bush in office,
or or I mean, just anybody who essentially fulfills the
establishment agenda, and that they wouldn't actually have to do
anything significant to maintain that power outside of start a war,
which is what they usually do. But they thought that
they won't have to do anything significant to maintain that
power once a Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio was in office.
(04:12):
And that's actually true, I think because of how bad
of a candidate Hillary was. I think they would have
tried that once again, prop up a Corey Booker, and
they would have lost again to a Marco Rubio or
Jeb Bush. And I think that they knew that could criticize,
criticize and criticize them not actually doing anything, because let's
be completely frank, that's what Republicans tend to do most
(04:32):
of the time. Nine times out of ten. At the
national level, there are some believer or not. There are
actually some good Republicans in the South, but they're usually
at the local level. They just call themselves Republican because
they know they have to get elected in their particular district.
I know, because they're Democrats who are actually Republican, but
(04:52):
they're Republicans.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Who are progressive.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
They're Democrats who are conservative, and they do what they
call themselves democratic Republican because that's what they have to
be called to win their particular district. So, but they
were on a witch hunt for Obama. They were on
a witch hunt for Obama. They didn't think that when
they said we're gonna repeal ACA and break something better,
(05:14):
they didn't think they would actually have to do it.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
They they they just they did not plan this very well.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Because if you're going to criticize ACA, which there are
a lot of critics about it, there are a lot
of critics of ACA, at least bring me something that's
not acam steroids and not the positive parts of ACA.
It's actually just the worst parts of ACA exacerbated.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
That's literally what the Trump carries.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
And it was so bad that he couldn't even get
enough Republicans to vote for it.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
How hilarious is that.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Trump is so damn stupid? I mean, because and it's
not just Trump, Like I said, we have to use
the term trump care very loosely, right, because.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Trump did not craft this legislation.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
It was these stupid Republicans who are in office as
a result of low var to turn out because of
Hillary Clinton's campaign. So hopefully we can get these fools out.
But this also has an opportunity. This is an opportunity
for Trump. This is an opportunity for Republicans because obviously
(06:29):
they most of the Republicans do not like ACA, at
least openly right.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
We also have seen that Republicans and Democrats like don't
like Trump Care.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
So it seems now that we are left with another option,
single payer, the thing that most Americans won, the type
of health care that most of the western industrial lives
were I think almost all the industrial western industrialized world
except for US have. You can create a private option,
(07:03):
there's nothing wrong with that. I don't know how many
people would take the private option, but you can create
a private option for healthcare incentiviz You can incentivize people
to get to get a private option, but you still
need single pair. I think America has come to accept
that the doctors and physicians want this, hospitals want this,
(07:26):
most politicians want this. So what's happening, What's what's the
what's the hold up insurance companies, insurance companies. It's just
I'm tired of insurance companies running.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I'm running ruining.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
If anything, I'm tired of insurance companies ruining lives because
that's insurance companies. Insurance in every other scenario is used
for for for to to supplement a privilege that we have. Luxury,
(08:02):
believe it or not. A house, a house is a luxury.
An apartment you get rent as the insurance is a
little bit, but a house is a luxury. Taking out
a loan, that's why you're required to get homage homeown insurance.
When you take out a loan, it's a luxury. Being
able to take it alone as a luxury.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Having a car, that's why we have to have car insurance.
Cars are luxuries. They're luxurious.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
They're not there yet, they're necessary, but they're luxuries. Nonetheless,
your health is not a luxury. Your health is your lifeline.
Health is a human right. We shouldn't have to debate
with insurance companies whether the government that we are paying
(08:49):
into to take care of us should be able to
pass legislation that holistically takes care of us, especially when
it is conduced to a more successful society. When I
am healthy, I don't have to worry about my health.
I can complete my work better where I'm healthy, I can.
(09:09):
I mean, it's I don't have to go into debt
with hospitals, and then the hospitals don't go into debt.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
And I mean, this is just common sense stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
But we are letting insurance companies at this point dictate
the outcome of our health literally whether we live or die.
Why does an an insurance company, I don't agree with it,
but I can see the logic, and an insurance company
can can determine whether we go into debt or not
(09:39):
with luxury, but an insurance company should not be able
to determine. What kind of logic is that an insurance
company should not be able to determine whether I live
or whether I die, whether you live, whether you can
get treatment for cancer or whether you can't get treatment
for cancer, whether you get treatment for you know, heart
(10:00):
disease or heart attack or you know. It doesn't make
any sense, right. So but now some more philosophical discussion
we have starting. We're starting to see, which once again
I'm happy with. I'm I'm glad that we're having this discourse.
(10:21):
But we're starting to see an emergence in the left
and even in the right in some ways of it's
no longer the left or the right. It's liberals, progressive, conservatives,
and trumpets, if you will call them the trumpets, because
(10:42):
they're the ones who will follow Trump to to to know,
it doesn't matter, they'll follow him off the damn edge
of a cliff, because that's where a lot of them
are following him right now. Now. I think that the
progressives and the conservative actually caught in the crossfire of
(11:03):
liberals versus the trumpets.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Now, this is what this is what I mean by this.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I think that we're not actually understanding or listening to
what the trumpets are saying, or even though what the
liberals are saying, because whenever the progressives talk to the liberals, whatever,
the progressives talk to liberals, we always say things like
we talk about morality, we talk about ethics, we talk
(11:33):
about equality of opportunity. We have to help liberals get
off of their high horse. We have to explain to
them when basic logic like okay, if Hillary decreased.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
One through decreasing voter turnout and the.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Primaries then and Trump won by radically increasing turnout in
the primaries. Why do you think that the election was
rigged for Trump? He didn't have to rig it. He
already won in the primaries. He showed us. So when
we had to explain stuff like that, and they just
refuse to listen, and they start blaming doing things like
blaming Jill Stein for the loss, like when that's mathematically
(12:08):
impossible that she calls Hillary Clinton's loss. But they started
trying to, I mean, we try. We have to get
rid of a lot of the disillusion that the liberals have.
Now on the conservative side, they were having the same
fights with the Trumpets, right, The concerned were.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Like, why do you like Trump?
Speaker 1 (12:26):
This dude's a moron, He's an idiot. He not even
this is not a joke.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
I think that Trump is autistic.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I am not joking about that. And you know, autism
is it's something to joke about and it's nothing to
be sam of either. But this man's competence is lacking
and it has been clear for so long. Whatever conservatives
are explaining to Trump's people, Trump's supporters, hey, this man
is not a great businessman. He literally could have left
(12:54):
his money in account of trust fund. The money that
he inhered, he could left in the trust fund and
been Richard and what he is right now By leaving
it in a trust fund, He's lost countless to mans
of dogs. He's able to maintain his money by bankrupting himself,
constantly getting rid of all his assets but keeping.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
All the cash, screwing his employees over his I mean,
I mean, that's what the conservative or the conservatives bottom
line is.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
The Conservatives have the same arguments with trump Bets as
progressives have with the Hillary people.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
And through this we keep we here really because a lot.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Of times the liberals aren't arguing with progressives, they're arguing
with the trump Bets, and the trump Bets aren't arguing
with the other conservatives.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
They're actually more so other than saying we don't want.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Bernie or we have to be patient about change from
the liberal to the progressives and same thing. Actually, we
don't want we don't want establishment Republicans. We need change. Now,
that's what the Trumpets were screaming. But what the trump
Bets were screwed at the liberals and liberally screened at
the trump Bets.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
You can find more, You can actually find a better
explanation in the dialogue of insults thrown.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Between the Trumpet, from the Trumpets to the Hillary p R.
To the liberals, and the liberals to the Trumpets, then
you can at all the political dialogue. And what do
I mean by that? The Trumpets call them, uh cocky,
They think that they think Liberals are full of themselves,
you know, they think that they're they're what do they
(14:37):
always insult their their ability, their work ethic. They they
call them lazy, you know, white collar thieves, things like that.
And on the other side of that fence, you have
liberals calling Trumpets stupid, they call them ignorant, they call
them racist, they call them, you know, they you're not
(14:57):
in college educated. And when you.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
What you're seeing isn't at a.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Certain point, this isn't blue versus red anymore. When I
hear all these when I hear Trump supporters speak, and
this is just me personally, when I hear Trump supporters speak,
and when I hear liberals speak, what I hear from
the Trump supporters for me personally is I hear liberals
(15:25):
stop trying to take away my lifestyle. My lifestyle is
just as important as yours.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
I make.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I make, just as my contributions to society are just
as valuable as yours. So stop trying to take it away.
Stop trying to force me to get a university four
year degree education and telling me that if I don't
get that, that I am stupid, because that's what liberals
(15:58):
actually tend to do. Right for liberals, they actually are
a lot of them are assholes like them. It's gonna
be honest with you. I know a lot of them.
They insult people who are not like them, or refuse
to refuse to bend at their will, because liberals have
this false notion that everybody has to bend at your
(16:18):
will for you to get along, and that is absolutely
not the case. I have a lot of conservative friends.
We may not always agree politically, but at our foundation,
at our core, we actually agree on quite a lot.
So what we're honestly seeing when we're talking about liberals
versus Trump bets, in my opinion, is a class warfare.
(16:45):
Your hillarys versus what Trump pretends he is, which is
the working man's president, the working woman's president, and we're
trying to progress as a Conservatives are actually in the
same boat. We're trying to have logical discussion with people
who with one side. If you're a progressive talking to liberals,
(17:09):
they don't give a damn about what we have to say.
I'm not This is not an exaggeration. They are comfortable.
Society is leaning towards certain The service industry, consulting like
it's it's it's the service service jobs that are often
(17:30):
and where those skills are often taught at the university level,
are dominating this industry. The most popular populated cities in
the world are liberal.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
There's a reason for that. The highest earning.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Cities in the world are in the country, excuse me,
are liberal. So when liberals concern themselves with mostly money,
power ambition, which oftentimes liberals tend to do, how can
we tell them when they've been getting whatever they want
their whole life as progressive, how can you tell them
(18:05):
and expect to get through to them. Hillary's taking money
from Wall Street. They're gonna hold their how is she
gonna hold them accountable? And they listenally, they're gonna be
like one day they're gonna want to be in power.
They're gonna wanna take money from Wall Street, and they're
gonna tell themselves, I can make concessions. A few concessions
here in a few concessions there.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
They're not gonna do it, but they're gonna.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
They're seeing themselves and Hillary's shoes one day, and they
don't want you to view them harshly or have their
their political affiliations or their their their their business affiliations
stop them from becoming president or becoming achieving their ambitious
uh position. And then Trump, because that's how he portrayed
themselves as being the working man. Uh. His people are
(18:53):
the same way.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
They see themselves in Trump.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Now his what's beautiful? If you're progressive about Bernie Sanders,
we see ourselves in Bernie Sanders. We are compassionate, we
are compromising. We think like him, we want benefits and
opportunity for equality.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Of opportunity for all.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
That is why I mean, I can't. That's why you
see so many vegetarians, vegans, whatever, whoever, they're compassionate about
animal and most I would say almost every vegetarian or
vegan non time out of time I've ever met, as
Burns had a supporters because they had that compassion.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
We share that, we share qualities with the candidates that we.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Are emotionally invested in, which is why we are so
emotionally invested in them. But that is also why you
are not going to convince a strong healary supporter that
she is not shit, because then they would have to
admit to themselves that she is not shit. You are
never going to convince if you're a conservative or anybody
(19:58):
trying to convince a Trumpet that Donald Trump is a
damn moron. You're not convincent that Donald Trump is a moron,
because for them to admit that Donald Trump is a
moron would be them saying to themselves, I am also
a moron too, because I see myself in Donald J. Trump.
That is what this all ultimately comes down to. We're
(20:19):
seeing a psychological class warfare, and we can learn more
from the insults that are being thrown than any amount
of political dialogue that we have seen, any amount of
political dollar, The same conversations are had over and over
and over again.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
We expected to change people's mind with policy debates.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
If I can. Now. I'm not saying don't have political
policy debates, because you need to have those, because that's
educational for everybody watching.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
But what I'm saying is when you are just in
a heated discussion.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Going back and forth about facts on facts on facts
in between.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
In the middle of that discussion. Oftentimes an insult is.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Her, You're yeah, you're you're you're so egotistical, you're so naive,
you're ignorant, you're racist, you're this, you're that. Thus that's
how you know what someone thinks about your side of defense,
or you're a candidate that you support. I said this
from the very beginning. Stop calling all Trump supporters racist.
(21:29):
I have seen some Trump supporters that you would not
believe Black people that support Trump on the low low
low low Latinos that support Trump on the low low
lo lo not necessarily because they support Trump, but because
they hated Hillary Quin. There's some people who have never
they don't know if they don't like black people, or
(21:51):
don't like Mexicans, or don't like you know, whoever, because
they've never even had that, They've never had to encounter
one like anybody other than white people, whether they're racists
or not. Probably and a lot of times, has never
crossed their mind. They've never had even think about it,
because all they you're talking about places like Indiana, Ohio,
(22:12):
outside of Cleveland, like certain parts of Michigan, they've never
had to deal with black people or Latinos or Asians.
So when they go to the voting booth, they weren't
thinking in their head. Yeah damn. Those Mexicans they're like,
I mean, that's whatever. I don't really care about that.
I don't think he'll build the wall. But he's saying
(22:32):
he's gonna bring my jobs back, and that's good enough
for me. That's it. You're tell you it isn't. Every
place that votes isn't New York where everyone's exposed to
every race all the time. Every place that votes is
in Alabama, where they have a distinctive, a distinct racial history.
(22:56):
There are other places like Nebraska, South Dakota, well, South
Dakota does have a North Dakota and South Dcota have
pretty racist history against Native Americans.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
But dont Trump.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
They're talk about it Nive Americans at all.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
So, but.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
There are people who literally don't even consider race as
a voting point, because there are people who consider race.
But that's in places where racism and race is a
hot button issue. Nobody ever considers Ohio a hot button
issue for race, like race is not a hot button
(23:31):
issue in Ohio. Race is not a hot button issue
in Oklahoma. Race is not a hot button issue in
Nevada in some parts of Nevada. But so so stop
assuming every Trump supporter is racist. We can't get these
blanket statements. It's psychological class warfare. Trump supporters, most of
(23:53):
them are tired of liberals trying to demean the aware
of life. Assume that everyone had wants to be a millionaire.
That's what a lot of liberals do. Why wouldn't you
want to be successful? Maybe my success isn't defined by
means of dollars Bill At the time, I stand with
my family, you know, working with my hands, building things,
creating things. Maybe my way of life is farming. That
(24:15):
is my definition to be being a successful farm. Maybe
my way of life is being a you know it
just it doesn't matter, It doesn't matter. But liberals do
do this. I know, I went to a liberal university.
I hang out with liberals all the time. They insult
those whose mind isn't wrapped around ambition and money.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
They think you are lesser if you can't speak the
language that we speak.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
And instead of rationalizing someone's jaw like you know, I mean,
I say, slight jaw country inside of me. But someone's dialect.
For example, you think there are people if they the
way I spoke to my friends that I grew up with,
that would consider me ignorant, because I just that's how
I talk when I'm around them. It's the first language
(25:08):
I learned. But I can go to Venice Beach, California
and have a conversation with anybody I want to on
that beach, whether it be professional conversation or conversation with
some hood guys. But I guarantee if I bring a
(25:28):
liberal who is raised and foundationalizing privilege to my neighborhood,
they probably my old neighborhood. They probably would not make
it out. They will probably say some insulting things. They
probably wouldn't. We could be talking about them right in
front of us, and they wouldn't understand what the hell
we were saying.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
They could think we're complimenting them.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
So who seems.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Stupid at that point?
Speaker 1 (25:50):
If I take that same liberal.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Person and take them to the woods, you know, somewhere in.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
South Carolina or on one of these places in western
Florida and tell them, you know, have them have a
conversation with some of these people, or take them to
Alaska or there, nobody understand that what the hell is
Alaska's be saying? Who looks stupid? Then, so they always
disguise their insecurity with being exposed to other situations the
(26:17):
same way that those people who come from those type
of backgrounds disguise it.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
They call it ignorant.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
They say you're stupid, just like from people from the
Deep South or the woodsy areas or outdoorsy people will say,
you're a pansy guy. If you don't like fishing, if
you can't hunt, if you can't do this, we do.
We have the exact same tendencies. Our insecurities are often exposed.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Politically or otherwise.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Political insecurities or otherwise are often exposed through our insults,
Bong bong, So moving forward, can't take this up in
my big goal. Sorry for everybody who doesn't have seven eleven,
My throats getting dry, my throats getting dropped. I've been
(27:06):
a good show, so farre y'all enjoying the show? Is
everybody enjoying it so far? I told you we're gonna
have to get a little philosophical today because it's, like
I said, policies again. I'm just so tired of talking
about the same policies over and over again. But I
wish I could remember. I think her name was leg.
(27:28):
It's a friend of my Facebook. I like talking about
random things I see in my Facebook because a lot
of my followers on Facebook will probably recognize it because
whenever I comment on something, all of my followers can
see the comment and they just go like bombard the
person's status.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
So it's actually pretty hilarious.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
But what the statement said was it was a mean.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
It said.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
White power, Latino power, or black power. Which one of
these statements its racist? And I I mean, it was
a lot of debate on the status. Now I'm not
gonna lie. Almost all the white people said, even the liberals,
these are Green Party people, Democrats, whatever, all of them
(28:14):
are racist. I like, Latino wasn't a race, so that's one,
so that's wrong already, Latino is not a race. I
don't know why people keep thinking of this. Somebody says
Asian power. Somebody says Asian power. Is that racist? First
of all, No, because Asia is not a race. So no,
it's not racist. Stop staying stuff like that. That sounds
(28:35):
so damn ignorant. And I hear a lot of my
I hear a lot of like educated people, smart people
say stuff like that because they want to give blanket
answers to solutions that are more nuanced. Stop trying to
define your ideology through memes, first of all, stop doing that.
So anyway, so I, of course, being myself, begin to explain,
(29:02):
Latino is not a race. Latino is a culture. An
it can be oftentimes ethnicity. You know, it describes Spaniards
interactions with South Americans and the Caribbean islanders and the
unique culture that came from that. It's Spanish culture mixed
(29:23):
with indigenous culture culture. Black is a race, but black
in itself is its own culture because black is not
limited to a singular ethnicity.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
There are black Brazilians, there are.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Black Indian Americans from India. They're a black Asian American.
I mean they're black. Black people are oppressed internationally. They
are black Portuguese. They're black, I mean they're black Colombians.
They are black Puerto Ricans. Literally, my Puerto Rican Ki
(30:00):
Kim vouch for this. Literally, all the black because there's
always that run random black field and every Puerto Rican's
family just by darkest can be and they always call
them uncle theo negro literally So there are black people
in every ethnicity and every single one of those ethnicities.
Believe it or not, black people have their own culture
(30:25):
mostly due to the oppression that you know, they they
it's because a lot of them are indigenous. A lot
of them are indigenous, or they come from an African
nation where they bring their own culture and mix it
with the culture of the continent or the culture of
the country. So it's very very unique Black culture, Afro
American culture.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Afro anything.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Coulture has always been that way. I don't know why,
but it is my white power that's a problem, and
calls me what you call me racist, whatever, it's not
really racist, give me an educational fact.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
But white power is a problem.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
White power is a problem because out of those two
Latino power, which is in the race black power. The
reason that we have to say why that phrase was
created was because the white power structure try to.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Convince us black people, convince white people.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
That we had no power, that the only power that
existed amongst racists or human beings in general, only existed
for white males.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
So to remind ourselves that we were equal, we had to.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Exacerbate our existence in society by saying we are powerful
black power. We do have the same amount of power. No, damn,
not even the same amount. Listen, we have power, period.
Everybody has power, but black people were specifically because it
wasn't blacks in America that were only being oppressed. Don't
(32:08):
ever think that. I don't want people think black people,
they only think Americans. I hate when people say, when
somebody says Latino power, there are black Latinos who are
being oppressed right now. There are black guys. What for
del Castro was fighting for black Cubans. For del Castro
was the reason that desegregation happened in Cuba. In Colombia
(32:32):
a lot. If you come to America, I mean America
in Miami, that's a perfect example.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
I always get not necessarily upset, but I get frustrated.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
And because I see a lot of Brazilians, I hear
a lot of portugal speak Portuguese flowently for those of
you who don't know. And I look around and I'm
at Colombians as well, but mostly with Brazilians. I'm like,
I don't ever see black Brazilians vacation in here, because
black Brazilians, for the most part, are the ones who
(33:03):
occupy the favelas, the ghetto, if you were the Brazilian ghetto.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
They're constantly oppressed.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
There are no black Brazilians in politics, very very very
rarely will ever see a black Brazilian in politics. Their
slavery went into like the late eighteen hundreds, like almost
like eighteen ninety nineteen hundred. Their slavery ending is actually
(33:29):
very very very recent. So when you have situations like that,
you do have to remind yourself sometimes that black people
have power. Latinos in general, Okay, I'm gonna be honest.
Brown Latinos in general have been oppressed and are oppressed still.
(33:54):
For example, Oh, pop pop music, but y'all that, Uh,
there's a reason that Mark Anthony is so famous. There's
a reason that oftentimes when you see the BOT the
groups or BUTOT the singers or just Latino singers in general,
especially the females, almost.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
One hundred percent of I think of like nine to
nine point nine percent of females, they're all white skin.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
The females that they get to go on these television
shows are all white. The stars of these of these
they have like maybe one one black person maybe and
they're like old and then the rest of the soap
opera stars, the novella start, the thellow novella stars.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Are all white.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
So yes, we have to continue to say black people
do have power because we have. We are constantly being
told in more ways than one. If it isn't directly,
it's indirectly that black people do not have the same
amount of power as white people in every culture, in
every ethnicity, in every personality. This is not new. So
(35:06):
if you ask me it's black power racist, I won't
tell you no, because it really is. There's only two
types of if you want to have that debate, there's
no agent power. I mean, there is agent power. But
I'm saying, if we're talking about racism, is we're racist concerned?
Speaker 2 (35:25):
There is two racist, there is white or three.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
I guess you could say there is white, there is black,
there is mixed. But even when you were mixed like
many of us are, if I am mixed, if I
walk into if I was dating a white girlfriend in
the South and I walked into her house and she
saw her father saw me. Because this is I don't
(35:51):
give a damn what anybody said. This is a conversation
that the parents have, or they have whenever they see you,
they see you thinking in their head, he's gonna he's
not gonna say, oh, look look at that mixed gentleman
right there. They're gonna say, look at that black person,
look at that fair skinned person. That That's what I
always say. If you're a guy, I'm like, they'll be like, well,
(36:14):
they'll be like what what what ethnicity are you? Or whatever?
I asked ethnicity.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
I don't really care about race.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Usually, I want to know what your culture is so
we can can we can talk and have understanding about that.
But when it comes to race, I hate when people
will will talk down on their race because they don't
want to be It happens a lot with Latino culture
or even with the darker skin mixed people. They always say, yo, man,
I'm I'm uh, I'm mixed, I'm not black, or I'm mixed,
(36:39):
I'm not white.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
It's okay.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
So bro, if you walk into your white girlfriend's house,
what's her daddy going to say? Or if you walk
into your black girlfriend's house, what their parents going to say?
Are you white or you're black? They're not going to
take time to understand whether you're mixed or not unless
it is very very clear that you were mixed, and
even then you are treated differently based off of your complexion,
(37:02):
even if you are mixed. So, yes, the conversation of
black power versus white power white power saying that is
the definition of racism because racism is inherent in racism,
there is an inherent power struggle one race over the other.
(37:27):
Believing that you are better than one race, in exerting
your power of your race over the other race actively
and being braggadocious about it, that is racism. White power
is the definition of racism. Black power is simply a
(37:48):
reminder that, yes, white people do have power, but guess what,
black people have the same amount of power. We have
as much power as you're willing to to to give ourselves.
So please, if you're going to have the conversation about
(38:10):
the power, because I see a lot of other for
whatever reason on I face, because I guess people are
getting bored with we are. I think a lot of
people know where I've just accepted that Trump's an idiot
and we're just gonna have to power through this next
four years. I've seen the conversation of race get brought
up a lot, and people want to they think that
being quote unquote, color blind is the answer because when
(38:31):
you say all the power, saying white power, black power,
whatever power is is U should be acceptable, or saying
power is all of it's racist. That's that's not the
way to approach those situations. That's intellectual laziness. That means
you have not taken a time to understand what any
(38:52):
of those phrases mean and where they come from, where
they're derived from.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Power struggles in race are real, and to.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
Understand where those phrases come from, you have to contextualize
those phrases. Stop blank stop once again.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Also stop please stop getting your your your.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Your solutions from you're not your solutionscuse me your ideologies
from memes, please, because that have its way too often.
But uh, Carla, so Carlos says that all racists can
be racist. I knew Chinese people who had it blacks, Carla,
(39:40):
Chinese is in a race. We just had this conversation
Chinese and ethnicity, and yes, I didn't know. There's actually
a lot of history between Chinese people and black people.
And you have to understand the image that Chinese people
have of black people come from a white power structure
that was taught to them their image of black people
come from Hollywood, who runs Hollywood. Their image of black
(40:01):
people come from being not necessarily colonized. But China was
kind of taken over by Europe. So yeah, everybody can
be everybody can be discriminatory.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Absolutely, anybody can be prejudiced, absitively posative.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
But no, everybody cannot be racist because in racism you
have to be able to benefit from the system that's
currently in place that primarily white people benefit from. These
are facts. It's unfortunate facts, but these are facts. If
(40:44):
you disagree with that fact, then you cannot be progressive.
There's no way you can be progressive.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
This is a basic This is basic.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
It's a progressive one on one if you don't think
that the power structure in place that was created by
white people, like I could never own a bank as
big as Chase Bank. I could never, never in my
life own a company as big as Uber right now.
(41:16):
This is why, because in order for me to get
the connections, or order for me to have that type
of income, I would have had to have generations, generations
of security and stability, and I would have had to
I would have had to have the financial freedom which
(41:37):
comes from generations of stability and security.
Speaker 2 (41:40):
So I would have to be also for you know
other things.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
I would have to be born into the Rockefeller family
that had that type of income. I would never be
as rich as the Rothschilds. I would never be. And
what race are all of those people? This is the
system they got rich. There's no female that will ever
be as rich as rob the roth Childs, no singular
(42:08):
female obviously the females within the roth Child family that
in all these families, but I'm saying self made. There's
no female born today that will ever be as rich
as a roth Child because in order for them to
get that rich, guess who they're gonna be taking bank
loans from. Guess who they are gonna guess who. Guess
who's gonna be fun they have. Guess who's gonna be
(42:28):
doing their promoting. Every time you make fifty dollars, the
roth Child's make fifteen off of you to add more
to their wealth. This is a system that white males created.
You will never be richer than them. This is their system.
(42:48):
I will never be richer than the roth Childs.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
I will never be richer than the Rockefellers.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
I could try, Jay Z I don't give a damn
how many number one albums he has. He still has
to book through venues, He still has to advertise on
their airways. Marvel. As successful as Marvel is the Marvel Company,
even though Disney owns them.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
There are still their separate little entity.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
Marvel can make billions, it will never be more successful
than they. I mean, Marvel is everywhere, but Marvel has
to use the facilities of Disney to do what they do.
They will never ever well, that is, this is their system.
(43:37):
So when you think about the trigger down effect, they
have singled out different marginalized, different groups to marginalized to
make sure that we can never be They have broken
us down, pit us against each other throughout history to
make sure that we can never get as rich as
they are.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
So, of course, who can only be one sided? Now
prejudice once again.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
Prejudice can be experienced by everybody in anyone discrimination can
be experienced by anybody anyway. Even hate crimes can be
committed and felt by anybody. But racism, racism is one sided.
Racism is one sided anyway. That's going to be it
(44:26):
for me this evening. Thank you all so so much
for watching. Please like and share this video. I'm going
to be back next week. We're gonna be posting back
on YouTube, hopefully regularly coming up this next week. Has
been a very very very very very busy month for me.
I said, just got a new job, but there's some
process of getting my apartment situation straight. It's been busy
(44:46):
with this move.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
You know, I kind of went on a limbit.
Speaker 1 (44:48):
I did what I wanted to do in a job
that I just got is absolutely amazing. I can't I really,
it's exactly what I want to be doing. I'll tell you,
I give you a hint, and involves helping people. So
and it's it's pretty it's pretty awesome. I'll be able
to live pretty comfortably while I get to help people.
So that's all I really want to do. I made
that decision a long time ago. I gave up the
(45:09):
security of law school temporarily because I know I could
be a good lawyer. It's easy to be a good lawyer,
you just I'm really good at following orders, taking directions,
and reading paper. So but what I wanted to do
is a little bit I want. I wanted to help people,
So I will say that I'll give you a hand
and say that is something that I will be doing
so and next week I will make the announcement on
here what exactly I will be doing on top of
(45:31):
my my network that I have going on YouTube and
in Facebook. So thank you all once again so much
for watching, and have a fantastic evening.
