Tonight, we are dedicating the first hour to examining how white supremacy is not only the biggest threat to America but also how social and mainstream media have played a role in making white domestic terrorists more emboldened to act. We will speak to the Research Director for Media Matters and the Southern Poverty Law Center Director about how this phenomenon started.

Republicans were issued embarrassing reminders during their House Oversight and Accountability Committee. We will show you the video of how Representative Jasmine Crockett reminded Republicans about why facts matter.

And in our tech talk segment, we will speak with the CEO of Pivet Plastic, a tech company creating sustainable products using biodegradable Self-CycleTM technology.

three coming up a roller Mud Unfiltered streaming live on
the Black Star Network.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
All of a sudden, Box.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
News is going crazy, going crazy over Biden speaks about
white supremacy. I'm going to explain to you why all
of a sudden this is a huge problem for them.
We'll talk with folks with media. Matt with Southern Palty
Law Center, expert in the area of white supremacy, why

(00:35):
Biden's focus is scaring white conservatives to dead. Also on
the show, Congresswoman Jassmickbockett had a heart lotlets say to
the GOP and yesterday's hearing with the attack Washington d C.
A variety of issues, plus' tech talk. We'll have our
guests on the show as well. Lots to break down.

(00:56):
You're watching roller Unfiltered, a black Start network is having
to bring the funk.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Let's go, He's go, whatever the miss, He's on it,
whatever it is.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
He's got school the fact to fine and wait to
believes he's right on time, and it is Roman best
believe he's going putting it out from his Boston howst
to politics with entertainment.

Speaker 5 (01:20):
Just bookcase.

Speaker 6 (01:21):
He's slen.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
It's uncle' it's rolling mantege. Yeah, Roan, he's Poky's breast,
she's real.

Speaker 6 (01:39):
Good question.

Speaker 7 (01:40):
No, he's rolling Martin.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Marte. Last two days, folks, I've been breaking down methodically
Fox News and white conservatives being angry, just angry at
President Joe Biden because he chose to speak about white

(02:11):
supremacy in his commencement speech to Howard University on Saturday.
They are angry that he was talking to black people. Now,
Harris Faulkner, Rachel Compost, Duffy will Caine, peterhak Seth, all
of them, they all been lying, all been lying, claiming
that all Biden.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Having discusses in other places he has.

Speaker 8 (02:35):
But you got to ask yourself a.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Question, why is his hit dog hollering? Why are they
so upset? Well, yesterday Jesse Waters angry and he actually
had the audacity to try to have some advice for
black people with his race bait and self, what's this fool?

Speaker 9 (02:56):
Biden didn't talk like this in the eighties and nineties
and thousands.

Speaker 10 (03:00):
In fact, it was just the opposite.

Speaker 9 (03:02):
Why all of a sudden, is white supremacy the biggest
threat when race relations have improved.

Speaker 11 (03:09):
They used to talk at clan members' funerals. From what
I remember, now they're gonna keep trying to divide us.

Speaker 12 (03:15):
This is a very good school.

Speaker 11 (03:17):
If you graduate from Howard University, you are going places.
You are going to be working for white people, and
white people are going.

Speaker 6 (03:24):
To be working for you.

Speaker 11 (03:26):
So to have the President come there and feed them
this stuff like they're victims of white supremacy is such
a disappointment.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
And you know what, the biggest.

Speaker 11 (03:34):
Domestic threat is too young black men in this country,
other young black.

Speaker 10 (03:39):
Men with guns.

Speaker 13 (03:40):
And that's the truth.

Speaker 11 (03:41):
And if you just talk raw numbers, you got health
issues to worry about. Coronavirus killed a million people, you
got absent fathers, education issues. Maybe there's a mass shooter
who's a white supremacist a couple times a year. But
in terms of the big threat to these very very

(04:02):
intelligent black people that have the world at their fingertips,
this is not something I would be drilling into their heads.
And this is something that proves that white supremacy.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Is not what people think it is.

Speaker 11 (04:14):
They rank all of the ethnicities on income in this country.
Indian Americans make one hundred thousand dollars a year on average.
Filipino Americans, Japanese Americans, Chinese Americans all make more money
on average than white Americans. Hispanic Americans make more money
on average than African Americans.

Speaker 12 (04:34):
And it's all based on education.

Speaker 11 (04:36):
It's not white supremacy, that's the determining factor.

Speaker 14 (04:39):
It's education.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Oh don't you just love Jesse caring so much about
black people that he now is telling black people what
our concerns should be, what we should be fearing, what
should be a threat to us First and foremost, we
talk about white supremacy in this country. We're not solely
talking about terrorism. We're not solely talking about mass shootings.

(05:07):
But then again, when you are the white nationalist network
like Fox News, it's not like you really understand that, nord,
do you actually understand black people? Now again, you need
to understand the strategy and how they operate.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Will Caine, who is now hosting this week for.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
The eight o'clock hour. As they fired to Carleston, he
was talking to Nikki Haley. Okay, the same Nicki Haley
who supported the Confederate flag when it was up in
South Carolina, and she felt there were bigger issues to
focus on. So who has who does she decide to
blame for this dramatic increase in white nationalism and white

(05:51):
domestic terrorism all the black guy, President Barack Obama.

Speaker 15 (05:57):
Why do politicians insist under us and seemingly pushing us
toward a race war?

Speaker 16 (06:03):
You know, you look, inflation's running rampant, You've got wocism
in schools, you've got crime at all time highs. You've
got you know, illegal immigrants, the totally open border, you've
got China on the march. And that has nothing to
do with race. And the idea that he brought up
white supremacy goes back to exactly what you said. It
started with Obama, now it's with Biden. The leftist inserts

(06:26):
race into everything, into everything, and all that does is
pit people against each other and it doesn't allow us
to get to any solutions. So their answer to everything
is to blame everybody.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Oh so, Nimroda, she actually is trying to blame Obama
was his fault, and the left injects race, never mind
the reality that Donald Trump press so many racial buttons.
And that's what we was speaking too. I need y'all

(07:00):
to understand is the strategy here. Okay, what they're angry about,
and I need you to listen to me very clear, careful, Okay.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
What they're angry about.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
They do not want to see a significant black turnout
in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
So what they're doing is they're attacking by even.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Though this has not been the first time, and listen
to be clearly, this has not been the first speech
that he's given where.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
He mentioned white supremacy. He literally in the State of
the Union.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
What they're angry about is that he talked about it
to a group of highly educated black folks. What he's
What they're angry about is that he is speaking to
an issue that we knows resonates with black folks because
the same those students had to deal with a bomb
scare on the campus of Howard University yesterday, Jackson State

(07:53):
bomb scare today, Prierview and M University evacuated.

Speaker 12 (07:58):
Because of a BAM scared.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Listen. So what they're freaking out about. They are freaking
out is because they want to see black voter turnout
go down. They do not want to see black folks
turning out in significant numbers. And so I need you
to understand strategy, strategy, strategy, and then you have Elon Musk,

(08:27):
you know, from South Africa, a part time that Elon
Musk who made his money off daddy, making a lot
of money in racist South Africa.

Speaker 17 (08:36):
He took offense to.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
The shooter in Allen, Texas being called a white supremacist
and Musco's how dare you?

Speaker 2 (08:47):
In an interview on CNBC listen, you.

Speaker 18 (08:51):
Link to somebody who's talking about the guy who killed
children in a ball in Allen, Texas and say something
like it might be a bad psio.

Speaker 17 (09:01):
I'm not quite sure what you meant, but.

Speaker 19 (09:06):
Oh, in that particular case, there was a somehow that
that's not.

Speaker 20 (09:17):
Not not that the that the group of people were killed,
but the it was I think incorrectly ascribed to a
white supremacist action.

Speaker 19 (09:28):
And the evidence for that was some obscure Russian.

Speaker 21 (09:32):
Website that no one's ever heard of that had no followers.

Speaker 22 (09:36):
And the.

Speaker 19 (09:38):
Company that that found this is billan Cat right, and
do you know what Bellicate does?

Speaker 17 (09:43):
Syops.

Speaker 23 (09:45):
I couldn't really even follow exactly what it was you
were trying to express there, so that's part why I
was curious.

Speaker 20 (09:51):
But I'm saying that I thought this, the ascribing it
to white supremacy here was bullshit, okay, and and uh
and and and and that the information for that came
from an oxecure Russian website and.

Speaker 19 (10:02):
Was somehow magically found by Bellancat, which is a company that.

Speaker 17 (10:06):
Does SI offs.

Speaker 24 (10:08):
And there's no proof by the way, that he was not.

Speaker 19 (10:12):
There's no I would say that there's no.

Speaker 21 (10:14):
Proof that he is.

Speaker 17 (10:16):
And that's a debate you want to get into on Twitter, Yes, because.

Speaker 19 (10:21):
We should not be ascribing things to whit supremacy if
it's fulse.

Speaker 12 (10:27):
There's no proof that he is.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Even though law enforcement laid out how this guy was
a white supremacist law enforcement they even showed tattoos neo
Nazis swastikas on his body.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
What the hell do you call that? Elon?

Speaker 1 (10:44):
This is the same Elon who has brought back racist
white supremacist neo Nazis on Twitter, Nick Fwintis and others.
So again I'm trying to connect the dots so y'all
can understand what does it play here? Why is Fox
News and white conservatives so angry because President President Biden

(11:06):
has been calling out white supremacists because that is the
base of the Republican Party.

Speaker 25 (11:12):
What you are seeing the racial attacks?

Speaker 2 (11:16):
You what you're seeing of the nicky Haynes of.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
The world, trying to blame WOPE, trying to blame leftists,
trying to blame progressives for the attacks on critical race theory,
on diversity, equity, inclusion.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
No, that's all the gop I need each other understand
what the game is.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
They are scared to death that black people and conscious
white people are going to turn on the mass numbers
to reject them.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
So now they're trying to turn.

Speaker 17 (11:46):
The story.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Gods show the photo.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Eli must says there was no evidence the shooter in
Allen was a white supremacist.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
What the hell do you call this?

Speaker 25 (11:58):
What do you call all this the racists that will
kill teen black people in Buffalo. But Musk, who now
controls owns Twitter, he now can control the algorithm. He
goes out and goes, oh, no, blast this group, saying hey,
what they said was just not true, it wasn't factual,

(12:19):
and casting out run with that.

Speaker 26 (12:21):
We come back.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
I'm gonna talk to one of the leaders of media
matters to further explain to you and talk. It is
someone of the SBOC to the Poverty Law Center. They've
been tracking hate groups for years. You need to understand
what is at play and why they are doing this.
You're watching roland markin Unfiltered, the Black Start.

Speaker 27 (12:41):
Network Hatred on the Streets, a horrific scene, white nationalist
rally that descended into deadly violence.

Speaker 28 (12:54):
White people are losing their their.

Speaker 14 (12:57):
As a angry pro Trump mart storms the US Capitals show.

Speaker 8 (13:02):
We're about to see the lives of what I call
white minority resistance.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
We have seen white folks in this country who simply
cannot tolerate black folks voting.

Speaker 18 (13:11):
I think what we're seeing is the inevitable result of
violent denial.

Speaker 17 (13:16):
This is part of American history.

Speaker 23 (13:18):
Every time that people of color have been in progress,
whether real or symbolic, there has been but Carol Anderson,
every university calls white rage as a backlash.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
This is the wife of the Proud Boys and the
Boogaaloo Boys America.

Speaker 8 (13:31):
There's going to be more of this.

Speaker 9 (13:33):
At This country is getting increasingly racist and its behaviors
and its attitudes because of the fear of.

Speaker 29 (13:42):
White people, the people that they're taking our jobs, they're
taking our resources, they're taking out women.

Speaker 21 (13:47):
This is white field.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
Black Star Network.

Speaker 10 (14:08):
A real revolution there right now.

Speaker 6 (14:10):
I thank you for me and the voice of black appearance.

Speaker 17 (14:12):
A woman we have.

Speaker 6 (14:14):
Now we have to keep this going.

Speaker 24 (14:16):
The video looks phenomenal.

Speaker 30 (14:18):
Between Black Star Network and black owned media and something
like seeing in.

Speaker 31 (14:23):
You can't be black owned media and be scared.

Speaker 21 (14:27):
It's time to be smart.

Speaker 10 (14:28):
Bring your eyeballs home, you dig.

Speaker 17 (14:35):
My name is Charlie Wilson.

Speaker 31 (14:37):
Hi, I'm Sally will and I'm.

Speaker 13 (14:39):
Jad here with you everybody.

Speaker 32 (14:40):
This is your man friend Hammon, and you're watching Roland Martin,
my man unfiltered.

Speaker 22 (14:50):
We have these witnesses up here who are trying to
tell us, and mister Ericson in his opening statement, let
me just point this out.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
This is the big exam that we need.

Speaker 22 (15:01):
To be so worried about because in Atlanta, apparently there
were twenty three individuals arrested for crimes raging from vandalism
to assault. We have six hundred and fifty people who
are murdered in mass shootings every single year, almost two.

Speaker 21 (15:26):
Per day mass shootings.

Speaker 22 (15:29):
Sorry, six hundred mass shootings, far more people, and we're
supposed to be talking here about vandalism.

Speaker 21 (15:36):
Give me a break.

Speaker 12 (15:39):
You can't even say.

Speaker 13 (15:40):
You can't sit here, mister Darrison.

Speaker 22 (15:41):
You were an employee of the Department of Homeland Security,
and I want to get to.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
That in a minute.

Speaker 22 (15:47):
You can't even acknowledge what your own agency said that
the biggest domestic terror threat is white nationalism, white supremacy.
You're trying to get us a gaslight us up here
as if Antifa, which mister Rosas apparently the expert now
in organized terrorist activity, has overruled the FBI director who says,

(16:14):
there's a headline says antifa is an ideology, not an organization. No, no, no,
let's not listen to the FBI director. Let's listen to sorry,
what's your title, senior writer at town Hall, who is
going to tell us that the FBI.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
Director is wrong.

Speaker 22 (16:29):
And I'd like to introduce, there's no question, I'd like
to introduce, by unanimous consent, an ap article saying the
FBI director says antifa is an ideology, not an organization.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
That was Congress and Dan Goldman, let me bring in
right now, folks. A couple of guests joining us, First
and foremost, Craig Harrington. He is the research director for
Media Matters for America. Julia Lyles Dunn, Director Southern Poverty
Law Centers Learning for Justice. Glad to have you both, Craig,
I want to start with you again. You guys have

(17:04):
been tracking Fox News conservative media for a very long time,
and I'm trying to get people to understand there is
no coincidence. And Biden gives this speech at Howard on Saturday,
and Fox and Friends is attacking him on Sunday, and
out Numbers attacking him on Monday, and then the Five
and Jessee Waters and Will Caine. We can go on

(17:27):
and on and on, and so this tracks what Ben Shapiro,
we can go on. It tracks with what the right
wing does, how they again use their marshal their forces,
and all of a sudden talk about the very same
thing now the other issuesting mass of the speech, but
white supremacy, because they are definitely afraid of people preparing,

(17:51):
frankly their followers what Biden's talking about.

Speaker 33 (17:57):
Yeah, I mean, you hit the nail on the head.

Speaker 24 (17:58):
And I want to thank you again for to me on.

Speaker 13 (18:02):
What we saw over the weekend.

Speaker 33 (18:03):
On May thirteenth, on Saturday, President Joe Biden addresses the
graduating past at Howard University and congratulations to all of
the graduates of class of twenty twenty three. It's hard
to believe how long ago it was. I was graduating
from college myself. But during his remarks it was typical,
sort of like aspirational commencement fair. He spoke about a
specific domestic threat to stability and security. And the ironic

(18:25):
thing is so many of the right wing media persona
and so many of the Republican elected officials who are
empowered and emboldened by that echo chamber, they are actually
they're accusing Biden of exaggerating a threat by dramatically themselves
exaggerating what he said. What he said is that white
supremacy is the single most dangerous domestic terror threat in
our homeland, full stop. That is absolutely true. That's been

(18:49):
demonstrated by the Department of Homeland and Security. That's been
demonstrated by the Department of Justice, that's been demonstrated independently
by the FBI, and that's been demonstrated by leadership of
those agencies during the Obama administration, during the Trump administration,
and during the Biden administration. There is no political persuasion
to this. This is simply the leading law enforcement and
counter terror experts in our government acknowledging that the biggest

(19:11):
threat from a terror from a domestic terrorism perspective is
the growing, burgeoning, latent white supremacist movement in the United States,
and what we saw from the right wing media echo
chamber in response to Biden's frankly innocuous statement of a
simple fact is a rush to exaggerate it, and a
rush not just to defend the honor of white supremacy

(19:35):
against this accusation from the Biden administration, but also an
attempt to make him seem like he was being hysterical,
when it's actually them who are driving the hysterics and
who are dramatically exaggerating what was otherwise a very simple
statement from the President pointing to a group of individuals
who who understand white supremacy innately, who have.

Speaker 13 (19:56):
Been the target of it.

Speaker 33 (19:57):
You pointed out, like this is a campus that has
received multiple physical threats, serious and significant threats against its
personnel and against its student body. He doesn't need to
tell them this statement of facts. They know these things,
and they know them innately. If they don't, if they
weren't learning that they're in that room. But the media
hysterics from the right, from Fox News, from the podcasters,

(20:20):
from the from.

Speaker 13 (20:21):
The YouTube extremists.

Speaker 33 (20:22):
It really points to their own their commonality or their
sense of commonality with this what you were describing as
the Republican base, the rush to defend white supremacy against
this attack, these accusations from the liberal woke mob at
the FBI. It really is telling on themselves that they
see this as a core constituency that they need to defend.

Speaker 13 (20:43):
In addition to the.

Speaker 33 (20:45):
Electoral and political calculus that they're they're employing where the
hope is to imply that Biden is somehow racially divisive
and unworthy of the support of these future black voters.
In twenty twenty four were also seeing the same rallying
effect where they're kind of kind of trying to defend
their own voting base against these accusations. It's it's interesting

(21:07):
to see how many people when they hear white supremacy
being lamented, they feel that innately, they feel like it's
a personal attack to themselves, and rather than reflecting on
how they feel so personally connected to white supremacy, Van said,
Deny Deny, Deny, that that it's something that even exists.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
So Julai, Well, I find it me interesting.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Senator Senator Tommy Tuberville truly one of the dumbest members
of Congress when he criticized when he talked about the
military trying to root out white nationals. He goes, well,
you know what my problem is he saying, when I
hear white supremacists, they're talking about maga.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Dog hollery, and so.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
What we're actually hearing the fact that they are responding
so viciously. Really, what they're responding to is he's talking
about you, and that's why they're ticked off.

Speaker 5 (22:06):
I think you're right there.

Speaker 34 (22:09):
The big lie, I don't hate you to use that
term again, but the big cover up that's used that
is to say that white supremacis are a certain group
or a certain way, or is it this look and
it looks this way, and we're only seeing this.

Speaker 13 (22:23):
What isn't real.

Speaker 5 (22:24):
It's real, people live this.

Speaker 34 (22:26):
It's injustice. It is oppression. Is how systems interlocked to
make it one population higher and higher in a higher
level or higher importance than other populations. We know non
white populations, black and brown communities are at the bottom
when it comes to white supremacy.

Speaker 5 (22:41):
So they want. That's what they want to present. They
say we'll teaching out in schools. We're not teaching that.

Speaker 34 (22:46):
It is how people live. It's how we are showing
up in life. This is how your systems have put
people on the margins. They have pushed people out from voting.
They have the franchise, these franchise populations. It is all
that in place. It is interlock and systems of oppression,
is in justice, it's all of that. It is so
complex because our system is of this country has into
intertwine white supremacy in a way where it goes throughout

(23:08):
and every system, whether it's education, whether it's the voting system,
whether it is the prison system, it is every system
across our country. It is our electorial system is everything
white supremacy shows its head.

Speaker 22 (23:20):
And so to.

Speaker 5 (23:23):
Now pretend like it it is one thing, it's not
another thing. It is America. It is how we built
this country.

Speaker 34 (23:29):
Until we come to truth about what this country and
how this country was built and be honest about the
race consciousness and grapple about what we're dealing with and
then find reconciliation around it.

Speaker 5 (23:41):
We're gonna always have this conversation. We're gonna always have
this argument.

Speaker 34 (23:43):
We're gonna always have one side saying this is what
really is happening and sounding as crazy as they did
in those videos, and as you said, other senators who
want to uplift this type of nonsense. But it's two
different it's two different stories, and no one is agreeing
on the real story. There is a real story at
play that really happened in this country, that really is
built on the system of white supremacy, on the legacy

(24:05):
of white supremacy, and we're still trying to dismountle it.

Speaker 5 (24:07):
Those HBCUs were put.

Speaker 34 (24:09):
In place so that young black folk right out of
could come right out of being from being a slave
and from the legacy of enslaved, the stendants can come
into a school and understand they were meant to be here,
that they are great, that they are special, and that
white supremacy is real. To the fact that you've been
questioned that a historical back college of university should not

(24:29):
believe that it's defining everything there.

Speaker 5 (24:32):
They were built on. They were built to know that
was true, and they were built to know.

Speaker 34 (24:34):
That their job was to show up despite and dismount
to that system that keep tells them that they are
less stand but they are greater than, they are better than,
and they can open they can run this country and
lead this country from their greatness.

Speaker 5 (24:46):
I am a graduate of U. So that that's why
I want to stand in that space too where I
was taught that.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
Could Craig thing here and again, well, I need people
to understand it's the narrative.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
It's the setting of the narrative. That's what Fox News
is doing.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
And so what they're trying to say to all of
their white listeners because they edit there are many black
people who are watching them. They're trying to say, they're
attacking you, They're coming for you. They I don't care
what Nikki Haley says. The Republican Party desperately needs to
gm up race in order to drive and stoke the

(25:26):
white fear of their voting base because they need that turnout.
That's what Mons for Liberty does. That's what the whole
anti crtist that was all about. That's what now with
the whole DEI s that was all about. Fox News
wasn't covering these races.

Speaker 25 (25:41):
They were marching in the Washington, DC on this weekend
because they know that's who watches them.

Speaker 33 (25:53):
Yeah, you know, it's it's very interesting that you pointed
out you began the sort of segment by highlighting Jesse
Waters and Jesse Waters the rumor mill is churning here
about Fox News. Jesse Waters seems to be one of
the primary beneficiaries of the downfall of Tucker Carlson. Late
last month, Tucker Carlson ran what we had derisively coined

(26:13):
as the White Power Hour on Fox News. In that
eight pms time slot, he was the most divisive, He
was the most most outrageous, and probably the best performer
of white supremacy. And this sort of like I think
treating racism as as something that is that is an
accusation against white people, as opposed to a problem in

(26:34):
our society that ought to be that ought to be
handled systemically. Jesse Waters is the one who seems to
be the most likely to succeed and benefit from Tucker
Carlson's downfall. And he is really kind of stretching his wings,
stretching his legs, so to speak, and and and getting
himself spooled up for the role. He already has a
prime time show, but he has been h he has

(26:55):
been using this this launching pad from the five, this
talk show that one of the most popular programs, into
his primetime segments where he is really really leaning into
this rhetoric. This seems like it's going to become his
hobby horse, and it's his area that he can own
and he can drive and he can gain more viewers.
He can sort of succeed Tucker Carlson as the intellectual

(27:15):
leader of Fox News. And that's really scary because not
only has Jesse Waters like himself quite mediocre and terrible
and someone who espouses truly horrible viewpoints, but he's someone
who is absolutely an opportunist and who was willing to
reach for whatever is available to him to chase down
the next breast ring and to climb the rungs of

(27:36):
power at Fox News. And it's very likely that he'll
be the successor, intellectually and otherwise of Tucker Carlson and
that sort of like primary white supremacist role. And it's
important to think here. Fox News isn't a news outlet.
They're not a media organization. They are a political apparatus.
They're not the communications arm of the Republican Party. They

(27:56):
are the party. And Tucker Carlson ran the party in
twenty twenty two, kind of ran it into the ground.
Then he cost his boss eight hundred million dollars, so
they threw him out. But if Jesse Waters is the
guy who's going to be steering the ship in twenty
twenty four, he's not the brightest ball in the bunch,
so he might drive them into the rocks or into
a brick wall the same way Carlson did. But the

(28:18):
road to that end is going to be very scary
because there's there's really no third rail for him. He
will touch anything, he will say anything. Yep, if it
gets in those viewers and it gets.

Speaker 22 (28:28):
In the numbers.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Indeed, indeed, Craig with me the manas we appreciate it.
Thanks a bunch, Julaia. I appreciate you joining us, Craig Julaia.
I got about one minute left in the segment. I
want to give you the final comment. Y'all track these
white supremacist groups and the reality is the numbers don't lie.
We are seeing a dramatic increase. They are reaching out

(28:50):
to next generation because they are pressing the white beer buttons.

Speaker 5 (28:57):
Absolutely, and the groups are growing.

Speaker 34 (28:59):
You're so right, and the types of groups the radicalization
of younger people, the recalization of folk that you want
the thought would be around the table that traditionally wouldn't
be considered white supremacists.

Speaker 5 (29:10):
It's been tracked this year. We have new reports coming
out soon.

Speaker 34 (29:13):
You should stay tuned of who we have tracked in
our states and across our country at this point. And
the numbers are increasing, and they're increasing in different ways
and across different topic types.

Speaker 5 (29:22):
So this is real. This is happening. We are not
making it up.

Speaker 34 (29:26):
And it's our job to make people know, to be aware,
to be clear, and to not believe whatever junk and
these these well funded political media systems have put in
place because it's not This is real and it's real life,
and it is a danger to our democracy into our country.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
Indeed, Jula SBLC, BUTILL appreciate it.

Speaker 21 (29:45):
Thanks to one.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Thank you. Want to thank Greig for joining us.

Speaker 17 (29:47):
Folks, we come back.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
I talked to about panel about this very issue. Again.
I'm trying to warn you what's going on here, folks.
This is all about electoral politics.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
You need to understand why they are so angry rate
and we must be prepared to exercise our power.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Watching rolling back unfiltered right here on the box.

Speaker 28 (30:05):
Of that one HM.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
That was a pivotal, pivotal time and Kevin Kevin Hart telling.

Speaker 35 (30:14):
Me that.

Speaker 8 (30:17):
He's like, man, what you doing?

Speaker 36 (30:18):
Man?

Speaker 21 (30:18):
You got to stay on stage.

Speaker 20 (30:20):
And I was like, I'm like, you know, I'm I'm thinking.

Speaker 21 (30:23):
There, I'm good.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
And he was absolutely right, But what what what show
the jail at that? This was one on one during
that time, and I'm show you so you're doing one
on one going great, You're making money.

Speaker 12 (30:35):
You're like, I'm like, I don't need to.

Speaker 28 (30:37):
I don't need need from you know, Wednesday, Thursday to Sunday.

Speaker 21 (30:40):
You know, I just didn't want to do that.

Speaker 20 (30:42):
You know, It's just like I'm gonna stay here or
I didn't want to finish.

Speaker 37 (30:45):
Work Friday fly out to do a gig Saturday Sunday.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
I was just like, I don't have to do that.

Speaker 28 (30:50):
And I lost a little bit of that hungry that
I had.

Speaker 24 (30:53):
In New York.

Speaker 38 (30:54):
I would hit all the clubs and running around, you know,
sometimes be in Chappelle or be in this one that one,
go to the comedy cellar one in the morning.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
And I mean that was our life and we loved it.

Speaker 28 (31:06):
You know, you get two shows in Manhattans, go to.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
Brooklyn, leave Brooklyn, go to Queens, go to Jersey, and
I kind of just I got complacent.

Speaker 28 (31:15):
I was like, I got this money.

Speaker 19 (31:16):
I was good.

Speaker 30 (31:17):
I don't need to go I don't know to go
chase that because that money wasn't at the same level
that I was making.

Speaker 8 (31:23):
But what I was missing was that training.

Speaker 28 (31:26):
Yes, that was that.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
And it wasn't the money.

Speaker 28 (31:28):
It was the money, you know, it was that. That's
what I needed.

Speaker 27 (31:44):
Hatred on the streets, a horrific scene white nationalists rally
that descended into deadly violence.

Speaker 28 (31:53):
White people are moving there their line.

Speaker 14 (31:57):
As a angry pro Trump Mark storms the US capitals show.

Speaker 17 (32:01):
We're about to.

Speaker 8 (32:02):
See the lives what I call white minority resistance.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
We have seen white folks in this country who simply
cannot tolerate black folks voting.

Speaker 18 (32:11):
I think what we're seeing is the inevitable result of
violent denial.

Speaker 13 (32:16):
This is part of American history.

Speaker 23 (32:17):
Every time that people of color have been in progress,
whether real or symbolic, there has been that Carol Anderson
that every university calls white rage as a backlash.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
This is the right of the proud boys and the
Boogaaloo boys America.

Speaker 8 (32:31):
There's going to be more of this.

Speaker 39 (32:34):
God.

Speaker 9 (32:34):
This country is getting increasingly racist and its behaviors and
its attitudes because of the fear of white.

Speaker 29 (32:42):
People the few that they're taking our jobs, they're taking
our resources, they're taking out women.

Speaker 8 (32:47):
This is white field.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
We talk about blackness and what happens in black culture.

Speaker 8 (33:10):
You're about covering.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
These things that matter to us, speaking to our issues
and concerns.

Speaker 24 (33:15):
This is a genuine people power movement.

Speaker 8 (33:17):
A lot of stuff that we're not getting.

Speaker 12 (33:19):
You get it when you spread the word.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
We wish to plead our own cause to long have
others spoken for us. We cannot tell our own story
if we can't pay for it. This is about covering
us invest in black on media.

Speaker 21 (33:35):
Your dollars matter.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
We don't have to keep asking them to cover ourself.
So please support us in what we do.

Speaker 12 (33:41):
Folks. We want to hit two.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
Thousand people fifty dollars. This month waits one hundred thousand dollars.
We're behind one hundred thousand, so we want to hit that.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
All right, folks, introducing our pan of Robert Bttillo. He
is the host people Passion Politics, News and Talk thirteen
eighty w a OK in Atlanta. Joe Richardson civil writes
attorney out of Los Angeles as well. Glad have both
of you here. Rebecca Carruthers also joins us. She of
course based here out of DC, and of course one

(35:10):
of our fairy elections Experts's be people the Fairy Election Center.
All right, So sir Robert, I want to start with you.
So again, I'm always looking at connecting the dots. I'm
always looking at how these things are all interrelating to
how these things move. And when you see the right

(35:31):
wing all of a sudden start saying the exact same stuff,
it's as if a massive memo went out. It was
called like red alert, everybody, all hands on deck, attack
Biden and white supremacy.

Speaker 7 (35:48):
Oh, that's not as if what's happened. That's what happened.

Speaker 41 (35:51):
I got the email, I'm astown a couple of their
email lists, and that's exactly what went out. Because they
see this as an opportunity, because what they believe is
that white and man is so afraid of anything that
involves doing anything for black people that this is a
political win for them. Tommy Tumperville wouldn't come out and
say that he supports white nationalists, and they had not
already had a media and up wholly showing that white

(36:12):
Americans very much support that conceptualization. You will not see
this kind of circling hands around. Individuals are pushing for
the things that you could be taboo in American society
as now being mainstream of Republican politics. Republicans used to
at least lie about being against diversity, equity and inclusion.
Now they passed laws about being against diversity, equity and inclusion.

(36:34):
Imagine a governor ten years ago or twenty years ago
coming out like the Saints it this week, they saying
I want to stop diversity in college education.

Speaker 7 (36:42):
In my state.

Speaker 41 (36:43):
They would have rarely been run out of American politics,
but today because they've pribatized white politics so much, now
that is a benefit to them. So this is not
some kind of error. This is a plan of electoral
strategy that they believe helped it. And now I want
to key in on what that interview with Elon Musk,
what's about. Because Elon Musk, we treat him as if

(37:03):
he just your normal crazed billionaire, but in reality, he
is the world's largest welfare queen. Elon Musk does not
have brail and actual money. What he has is government handouts.
And I think that it is time for us as
black people to start going after those government handouts that
he's getting. He just got three billion dollars from the
United States government last year for the human landing system

(37:24):
as part of the Ardemence program. We need to be
contact team NAS Administrator Bill Nelson and also Senator Patty
Murray who's over the Senator Appropriations Committee, and say to
reopen the competition for that human landing system. Allow Jeff
Bezos and Blue Origin, allow Dynatics, allow many of the
other companies that have been on it to open that
back up, because why are we paying Elon Musks three

(37:46):
billion dolllarge to support white supremacy. In addition to that,
we have many US Space Force payloads that are on
the Falcon nine rocket. Those can be done by Aarojet
rocket dimes that could be done by many other luck
providers instead of state's government paying Elon Musk hundreds of
millions of dollars every month to put their apparatuses into space.

Speaker 7 (38:06):
So we really want to do something off the spread
of white supremacy. Elon Musk and that interview said, well,
I don't care if I lose money. Let's see it.

Speaker 41 (38:13):
Let's find out, because we should not be using American
hast dollars to support white supremacy.

Speaker 7 (38:18):
So we got to put our foot down when it
comes to people.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Like Elon Musk, Rebecca the Point, Robert Meggs there, they
now know Donald Trump has allowed them to openly embrace
white nationalism. You literally have white supremacists who are in Congress.
When you listen to Maudreie Taylor Green white supremacist, we

(38:41):
listen to Lauren Boebert, white supremacist. Paul Gosar Andy Biggs
Gosar spoke at the conference of White Nationalists Nick fint
Is and has staff members who are on his staff.
Right now, a new report comes out that is aligned
with him. These are simple facts. The republic Can Party
knows white nationalists, those are their voters and they want

(39:07):
no one attacking them.

Speaker 39 (39:11):
Brolin, this is about power and it's about money as well.
Because Fox News and some of the other platforms that
participated in this coordinated effort to fight back against President
Biden calling out white supremacy as one of the greatest
threats to America, they all make money off of peddling
white supremacy. Tucker Carlson is it is so interesting that

(39:34):
as many years that Tucker Carlson has pedled white supremacy,
all of a sudden a text went too far and
they have to do something about it. No, he actually
started to lose money for Fox. So Fox was fine
with white supremacy until they start to lose money. But
when we take a step back and we look at
the power aspect of this is you mentioned that there
are members of Congress who are white supremacists, and there's

(39:57):
also local sheriff, there are district attorneys there are judges,
there are people in pretty powerful positions that impact people's
day to day life who are also white supremacists. Their base,
their political power has been built based upon white supremacy.
And what's also important to note here, it was very

(40:17):
divisive for some of these platforms over the last couple
of days to point to Asian Americans as if Asian
Americans are model minorities and saying, oh, well, if whiteness
is America is so bad, then why are Asian Americans
on average making more money than white people?

Speaker 5 (40:34):
You know what?

Speaker 24 (40:34):
This is very disingenuous.

Speaker 39 (40:36):
I bet if they actually allow for critical race theory
to actually be taught, they will actually understand what exactly
is white supremacy instead of throwing out this really stupid
response and rhetoric.

Speaker 17 (40:49):
Joe.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
The reason I have focused on this now for the
third consecutive day because I need black folks who are
watching and listening to understand. They want black people in
twenty twenty four to do what many of us did
in two thousand and sixteen. Donald Trump faked black people

(41:13):
for not voting.

Speaker 12 (41:15):
That's what they want.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
We saw a drop off in the twenty twenty two
metterm elections, and they are hoping there's a repeat of
that in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 26 (41:24):
Absolutely, it's interesting because you have a situation where as
it pertains to white supremacy. I mean, you know, to
Robert's point, you know, to scientists and everybody else, they're
passing the loss that they want to. They're talking about
these things in the open. So as it pertains to
white supremacy, you can, we can do it, we can
instigate it, we.

Speaker 13 (41:43):
Can support it.

Speaker 26 (41:44):
But we don't want Joe Biden talking about it because
that elevates the discussion and that creates the urgency that
brings people out, even though they are trying to grow
their base and trying to grow the number of people
that would vote their way, by stoking certain fears that
are very very, you know, very they're very evident. It's
always exactly an old playbook. It's a little bit more

(42:07):
out front now, but it's an old playbook. Get black
folks that don't have a whole lot and white folks
that don't have a whole lot fighting against each other.

Speaker 13 (42:15):
Remind the white person that at least he's superior to you.

Speaker 26 (42:18):
But you know not if you let them take this
away from you, and so you support us, and meanwhile
the income gap grows. Income those that have and have
not grows, and hopefully, you know it's a two step plan,
draw out more of their voters. But Republicans tend to
lose high, high turnout elections. You've still got to suppress.

(42:40):
You still got to keep people from voting.

Speaker 13 (42:42):
They're not going.

Speaker 26 (42:43):
Republicans aren't trying to go get black people's volks anymore
if they ever were.

Speaker 13 (42:47):
What they're trying to do is keep them home.

Speaker 26 (42:49):
By hooking, by crook, you either get rid of the urgency,
which Biden goes against by talking about what he's talking
about and elevating the discussion, particularly with people that are educated,
or are you suppressed them so that they can't vote,
so that millions of them are disfranchised, And so elections
that are decided by the smallest margins you end up
winning instead of losing. And so yeah, that's the whole

(43:11):
point is to by hook and by crook with these elections,
keep people from voting, either through a lack of excitement,
a lack of urgency, or a lack of ability through
the laws that you pass, and at the same.

Speaker 13 (43:23):
Time draw out your voters so that you can continue
to get.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
Across hold type one second. We're going to go to
the break when they pick up more as we come back.
And I'm gonna also show you again again that story
about Paul Gosar, the Congressman from Arizona, staff members having
ties to white supremacists. How you had individuals who were
running in the midterms who wanted to be governor and
Secretary of State, attorney general who are aligned with white supremacists,

(43:51):
openly avowed white supremacists. I'm telling y'all this ain't no joke.
Don't sit here and play games here. These people absolutely
want to be They want to hold power, and they
are afraid of being called out. You're watching Rolling markin

We're talking about leveling up, or to put it another way,
living your very best life. How to take a bowl
step forward that'll rock your world.

Speaker 5 (44:57):
Leveling up is different for everybody.

Speaker 43 (44:59):
You know, I think fall into this trap which often
gets a stuck because we're looking at someone else's level
of journeys, what level of means to them. For some,
it might be a business venture, for some, it might
be a relationship situation.

Speaker 24 (45:13):
But it's different for everybody.

Speaker 42 (45:15):
It's all a part of a balanced life. That's next
on Blackstar Network.

Speaker 37 (45:22):
Next on the Black Table with me Greg Kall, we
look at one of the most influential and permanent Black
Americans of the twentieth century. His work literally changed the word,
among other things, he played a major role in creating.

Speaker 21 (45:37):
The United Nations.

Speaker 37 (45:38):
He was the first African American and first person of
color to win the Nobel Peace Prize, and yet today,
he is hardly a household name.

Speaker 21 (45:47):
We're talking, of course, about Ralph J.

Speaker 28 (45:50):
Buche.

Speaker 37 (45:51):
A new book refers to him as the absolutely indispensable man.

Speaker 36 (45:56):
His lifelong interest and passion in racial justice, specifically in
the form of colonialist and he saw his work as
an activist an advocate for the black community here in
the United States as just the other side of the
coin of his work trying to roll back European.

Speaker 21 (46:17):
Empire in Africa.

Speaker 37 (46:18):
Author cal Rastilla will join us to share his incredible
story that's on the Next Black Table here on the
Black Star Network.

Speaker 5 (46:28):
Hello, everyone is here here.

Speaker 3 (46:30):
Hi, I'm Tam, I'm Coco, and I'm Leley.

Speaker 44 (46:35):
What's up, Y'all's Ryan's destiny?

Speaker 6 (46:37):
And you're watching Roland Martin on Filter.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
All right, folks, welcome back, Rollandmarck unfiltered. It is interesting, Robert,
these hearings, and you see how now they want to
reframe it.

Speaker 12 (47:23):
And I love the whole deal.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
Oh black people, you should be really more concerned about
this and this and this. I love how they always
want to deflect and tell us what the hell we
should be focused on and what we should be more
concerned about.

Speaker 7 (47:41):
Well, you know, It's funny. What I thought of was
the last time I had a conservative on that.

Speaker 41 (47:45):
My first question was, well, what is the conservative agenda
for black people as their actors? Well, you shouldn't need
a conservative agenda for black people, So they don't want
to actually have an agenda that betterfit to black community.
They want to continue to uphold and support white supremacy.
But then when you have money like Joe Biden talking
about the issue, because let's not pretend Joe Biden has been,
you know, the end all be all for black folks

(48:08):
when it comes to things in the criminal justice forum,
when it comes to issues on police reform, when it
comes to many things that they put in the agenda
in twenty twenty that we thought we would have right now.

Speaker 7 (48:19):
But at least he's willing to speak to the issue.

Speaker 41 (48:21):
And in the last several weeks we've seen anything the
Republicans or counting on to kind of bring Biden down.

Speaker 17 (48:26):
Not work.

Speaker 7 (48:27):
People don't really care that much about Title forty two.

Speaker 17 (48:29):
Inding.

Speaker 41 (48:29):
People don't really care that much about the Bureau report.
The economy is going great, the three point four percent
unemployment rate, you're looking at a gas prices, there are
a dollar lower today than they were a year ago,
and because of that, they have to find new things
to try to run on without actually having any policy.
So their entire campaigns striving for twenty twenty four of

(48:50):
they're showing you right now they're going to be stoking
the racial fears of white people. They're trying to scare
the hell out of white people enough that they can
bring Trump back in the office. And is our our
job to been sure that doesn't work?

Speaker 1 (49:02):
I mean, Rebecca, this is why I wrote this. I mean,
and it's amazing all of these mainstream media folks don't
want to have a brother on talk about it. And
I'm sitting here going, don't y'all see what's going on?
This is playing out in front of your face. But again,
the problem with white mainstream media, which I wrote about
in the book White Fear, they are part of the problem.

(49:25):
They those executives, those producers, they don't like the fact
that this is also talking about them. Even some of
them who are progressive so called.

Speaker 39 (49:37):
Well, you know what's really interesting here, is not good
enough to speak out against white supremacy. If you're not
actively anti racist, you are a problem in America. You
are a part of the problem. Whether you are black,
whether you are white, whether you are Hispanic, you have
to be actively anti racist. And so what's really interesting

(49:58):
when you think about how communications and media is in
the country. If we're trying to invade a country, one
of the first things we do is try to take
out the communications. If you're trying to control a country,
the first thing you do is you take on and
you run communications, ie, you run media. So if you
are committed to white supremacy in this country, then the

(50:21):
number one way that you're going to show that commitment
and push forward white supremacy is through media, through communications,
because that's how you talk to the masses. So what
we see here is that there are folks within mainstream
media who have a vested interest in white supremacy because
it's how they get their views, it's how they get

(50:42):
their power, it's how they make their money. Is one
reason why we see a particular network that decided to
do a unfettered town hall.

Speaker 6 (50:50):
With Donald J.

Speaker 39 (50:51):
Trump, who we know to be a white supremacist, without
actually asking the follow up questions or even framing the
town hall in a way that would act actually hold
him accountable. For many of his misdeeds while he was
in office, and the mythstis he's been out of office,
so there's too much money and too much power to
be had in white supremacy. And that's the reason why

(51:14):
we don't see mainstream media and we don't see even
the mainstream Americans holding those who are actively paddling white
supremacy and holding those folks accountable.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
You know, Joe, Again what Roberts said and the why
we're laying this thing out to every black person. And look,
they're people who watch us who are not black. They
are people who watch us who are white, who Latino,
and they need to understand the Republican Party. We have
seen this since twenty sixteen. They are the party of
white America. Yeah you got some black people, Yeah you

(51:48):
got some Latinos, but they are about peeling to white people.
And this is about fear. It's about getting them afraid.
They're taking Look as an ad we have, they're taking
your jobs. They're coming for you, our women, they're coming
for everything. They're coming for our culture, our way of life.
That's what they're all about. And so this here by

(52:09):
tacking Biden for calling out and again this ain't Biden
just going, well, what the hell I can talk about it?
You literally have law enforcement intelligence folks in the United
States that I'm saying white domestic terrorism is the number
one homegrown threat. But their whole deal is, how dare you,

(52:30):
because they are the ones who are out campaigning for
Donald Trump, for decampists, for the Republican Party across the country, north, south, east,
and west.

Speaker 13 (52:43):
How dare you talk about what's true?

Speaker 26 (52:45):
How dare you actually accept the suggestion that the laws
that you're trying to pass are things that you're trying
to do. Who you've elected and supported for president actually
suggests that you are connected to, if not a white
supremacist self, than connected to white supremacy and an acknowledged
beneficiary of white supremacy. So how dare you treat things

(53:08):
as they really are and call it like you really
see it? And again to the point that was made earlier,
you know, Joe Biden ain't always been, you know, on
the front of every bastion of liberalism.

Speaker 13 (53:19):
You know, he's nobody's far left guy. As a matter
of fact.

Speaker 26 (53:21):
The progressives will tell you that and remind you that,
but he gets it wrong and has gotten it wrong
all the time on things like that, probably have backroom
conversations with him. And now you're he is talking about
white supremacy being the greatest domestic threat.

Speaker 45 (53:35):
You know.

Speaker 26 (53:36):
Again, but you've got the loss that you're passing. You've
got the things that you're doing, and you know you're saying,
you're not a duck, but you're quacking. You swim in
the water, you got web feet and everything else. So
it's interesting they've been able to do this in plain
sight though. I mean, you know, you got to give
him a little you know, you got to give him
a little slack here, guys, because at the end of
the day, these cats had Donald Trump say the things

(53:57):
that he said, and because we are a sexist country,
and because we didn't like Hillary's personality and we didn't
show up, we didn't elect her.

Speaker 13 (54:04):
You know, we have not elected people that we normally
would elect.

Speaker 26 (54:07):
I mean, George Bush probably was the biggest beneficiary of
Donald Trump's whole thing, because it's all like George Bush, everything.

Speaker 13 (54:13):
Is everything, like he never did anything wrong.

Speaker 26 (54:15):
He had some problem down there in Florida, and that
same Florida state that gave him the election. As it
turns out, Supreme Court did, it's the same Florida. That's
half of the problems. Now, well you forget that we've
been here in a.

Speaker 1 (54:25):
Way absolutely all right, folks, hold tight one second. I
got to go to a break. We'll be back A

On the Nets, Get Wealthy with Me, Deborah Owens. America's
wealth coach are the backbone of the healthcare industry, and
yet only seven percent of them are black. What's the
reason for that low number, Well, a lack of opportunities
and growth in their profession. Joining us on the next

(55:15):
Get Wealthy is Needy Barnamilliz. She's gonna be sharing exactly
what nurses need to do and what approach they need
to take to take ownership of their success.

Speaker 46 (55:27):
So the Blackness Collaborative really spawned from a place and
a desire to create opportunities to uplift each other, those
of us in a profession to also look and reach
back and they and create pipelines and opportunities for other
nurses like us.

Speaker 17 (56:32):
This is Tobias Travillion.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
If you're ready, you are listening to and you are
watching Roland Martin unfiltered. All right, so the GOP in
the whole crime crime, crime, crime crime. They've been attacking Washington, DC,

(56:55):
attacking a mar of Miro Bowser, saying they don't know
what the hell they're doing. Well, there was a hearing
yesterday on Capitol Hill and was more than usual. But
congors went and Jasmin Crockett from Texas she actually.

Speaker 17 (57:10):
My congress woman.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
I'm still registered to vote there. Let's just say she
used her five minutes to bring the heat to the
Republican Party and was even checking them to their faces.
Oh this is good, y'all, this is good, I says
Ms Crockett Texas for five us.

Speaker 45 (57:27):
Thank you.

Speaker 44 (57:27):
I don't know that I can get through all that
I need to say in five minutes, but I'm gonna
do my best. We're gonna start off with sexual abuse.
I am so excited that my colleagues across the I
all care about sexual abuse, considering that the front runner
right now for like presidency has kind of just been
found liable of sexual abuse.

Speaker 12 (57:45):
So I'm excited because this may.

Speaker 44 (57:47):
Mean that finally some folk will back off from supporting
him because we don't support sexual abusers in this chamber.
So I'm happy about this, but let's talk about facts
versus fiction. My Republican colle want to talk about being
tough on crime and keeping criminals off the streets, and
so we've talked about.

Speaker 5 (58:08):
Let's talk about what is for.

Speaker 44 (58:11):
We've got members of Congress elected in other states, other
cities trying to subvert democracy and the will of the
people of DC by dictating that the city act in
a way the Republicans want because they think they know
what's best. Republicans want to subvert the people's power. And
it's not just for DC, it's all over. We see
this in states like Texas and North Carolina with jerry mandering.

(58:33):
In fact, we still have members here who still think
that Trump won in twenty twenty. Republicans want to talk
about crime and violence, but they don't want to admit
their role in this crisis. The fact is that they
still allow assault weapons in the hands of radical right extremists.

Speaker 5 (58:50):
Which, of course, families.

Speaker 44 (58:52):
Visiting a mall in my state of Texas to leave
a mall with nothing more than trauma, hurt, and despair
as a neo Nazi terrorized them.

Speaker 39 (59:04):
And yet what did they have in their hands?

Speaker 44 (59:07):
Another ar fifteen, but we don't want to have a
conversation about that.

Speaker 6 (59:11):
So if we're gonna talk about.

Speaker 44 (59:12):
Crime and the reasons for the increase in them, we've
got to talk about these root causes. Number one, the
fact that we have elected legislators that won't do their
job and protect people by keeping these weapons off the streets.

Speaker 39 (59:25):
That's number one.

Speaker 44 (59:26):
Number two, we are still reeling from a financial crisis,
and guess what, they don't want to make it better.
I'm sure they all campaigned and said, oh, we're gonna
help out the economy post COVID, but right now we
are on a cliff over the debt ceiling. The debt
ceiling that was raised three times under Trump, and twenty
five percent of this credit card bill that they don't

(59:46):
want to pay was approved under Trump and he only
had one term and hopefully you won't have no more.

Speaker 39 (59:53):
Nevertheless, I digress. Let me move on.

Speaker 5 (59:55):
So let's also talk about the fact that.

Speaker 44 (01:00:01):
Just recently, I think it was yesterday or two days ago,
we received reports that there is a staff member who's
working for a Republican on this committee who has ties
with and supports a white nationalist who has proclaimed himself
to be just like Hitler. I don't really know what

(01:00:24):
to say, except for the fact that this is a farce,
all right, because the fact is we've got an increase
in crime all over.

Speaker 5 (01:00:34):
If we really want to be real about it, let's
talk about it. We're talking about DC right now.

Speaker 44 (01:00:39):
But the murder rates in red states like Louisiana, Mississippi,
Alabama have statistically exceeded those in blue states like Illinois,
New Mexico, and Michigan every year since two thousand. But
since my colleagues build the needs to meddle in local
affairs of DC, then let's look at where there might

(01:01:01):
be issues. To be clear, DC doesn't control most of
its own post arrest criminal justice system. Instead, the federal
government administers most of it. So I have a few questions,
Yes or no for you, mayor Bowser. The federal government,
not DC, has the authority to prosecute nearly all crimes
committed by adults under DC law.

Speaker 1 (01:01:20):
That's correct.

Speaker 44 (01:01:21):
The federal government appoints judges to the local DC courts.

Speaker 1 (01:01:25):
That's correct.

Speaker 44 (01:01:26):
The federal government has jurisdiction over community supervision and adults
charged or convicted of DC crimes.

Speaker 24 (01:01:33):
That's correct.

Speaker 44 (01:01:34):
The federal government has jurisdiction over the incarceration of adults
convicted of felonies under DC law.

Speaker 39 (01:01:40):
Correct.

Speaker 44 (01:01:41):
Lastly, Mayor Bowser, isn't the federal government responsible for parole
and supervised release of people convicted of felonies under DC law?

Speaker 5 (01:01:50):
Yes, thank you.

Speaker 44 (01:01:53):
The fact is, my Republican colleagues wanna talk about keeping
DC streets crime free. They can't even keep the halls
of Congress crime free. Because we gonna talk about this
because I got twenty four sixts. My freshman colleague has
just been indicted on thirteen counts, thirteen felony counts. Right,

(01:02:14):
but have they exhibited any courage to say, you know what,
we will disallow this in our body.

Speaker 6 (01:02:20):
We will make sure that we expel this individual.

Speaker 5 (01:02:23):
They have not.

Speaker 44 (01:02:24):
So what I don't want to hear is that they
care about crime, because if they did, they would start
my cleaning up our own house and mind our own
business instead of coming after DC.

Speaker 39 (01:02:33):
So thank you so much for your time to thank.

Speaker 12 (01:02:35):
You, Congress warm Rebecca see was lit.

Speaker 24 (01:02:41):
You love to see it.

Speaker 39 (01:02:42):
You know, what she said was very important because I
don't think most Americans understand that under home rule or
the lack of home rule DC. Basically their hands are
tied and what they can and cannot do when it
comes to responding to criminal activity and criminal arrest and
threats in the capital in the Capital City. But not

(01:03:03):
only that, DC actually got together, worked with a lot
of community activists advocates as well as criminal justice reform
experts to actually revise the DC Criminal Code and they
came up with something that ended up being a great product.
But instead we see that Congress is interfering with DC's

(01:03:23):
right to determine its own destiny, its right to determine
how best to deal with crime within its borders. Instead,
you see hypocrisy of the current Congress who isn't paying attention.
Like Jasmine Crockett said to what's happening within Congress. You
literally have people who are indicted in this Congress, but

(01:03:45):
this Congress isn't doing anything. I think it's time for
Speaking McCarthy to let us know, you know, are you
pro crime or are you anti crime? They keep asking
Democrats who are running for office in cities across the
country if they're going to be hard and or soft
on crime. I think it's time to ask Speaker McCarthy
are you going to be hard on crime or are
you gonna be soft in crime?

Speaker 1 (01:04:07):
You know, it was just hilarious just watching these nutcases.
Joe just just drawing on and on and on, and
when Representive Crockett lays it out, they're.

Speaker 12 (01:04:16):
Trying to blame d C.

Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
What's something federal government has control over it and guess
what they run government?

Speaker 13 (01:04:25):
Yeah, I mean it's interesting.

Speaker 26 (01:04:27):
Uh, perhaps prophetically in other parts of the country where
there's a lot of black majority rule, potentially the state
is now changing things where uh they can come in
and government governor appointed folks can take over, for judges
can remove das et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. But
the fact of the matter is in d C they
already have that control. They actually already get to sign

(01:04:50):
off and have final say on much of what goes
on in DC. And so here comes d C with
the plan that lends.

Speaker 13 (01:04:57):
Toward responsible self determination, which is what they been looking
for for a long long time. And really they rejected out.

Speaker 26 (01:05:04):
Of hand just because they can't so uh, you know,
so how are they not responsible though?

Speaker 13 (01:05:10):
If they're the ones that have the last say.

Speaker 26 (01:05:12):
You know, so d C created its own problems, but
DC doesn't actually get to enforce and bring about its
own rules.

Speaker 13 (01:05:19):
You can't have it both ways. And if you are.

Speaker 26 (01:05:22):
Anti crime, if you are hard on crime or whatever else,
start in your own body. You got some straight up
thugs up in here walking up and down the hallways,
and you won't kick them because you're concerned that you're.

Speaker 13 (01:05:35):
Gonna lose the seat in Congress.

Speaker 26 (01:05:37):
So you know you're gonna have to figure out what
it is that you're going to do and talk this walk,
this walk that's related to this talk.

Speaker 13 (01:05:47):
And because at the end of the day, ultimately d C.

Speaker 47 (01:05:52):
Is not in its own hands the way that it
wants to be in desires to be, why don't you
let d C be in its own hands? And then
once DC he messes up, now you can start to
make that a political thing and blame them. But if
it's all laid at your feet and you're all ultimately
responsible for it anyway, how are you pointing fingers in
DC saying it's your fault even though I'm in charge?

Speaker 1 (01:06:14):
And you know what, you know what, Robert, I mean,
there are some dumb people, but there's no dollar in
my mind that one of the absolute undeniably dumbest people.
Now that Louis Goldmert is no longer in Congress, is
this fool Clay Higgins from Louisiana? I mean, listen to this, Hick.

(01:06:39):
You think Bobert and Martin Taylor green of dumb? I
think he dumb. He liked Tommy Tubaville level dumb. Listen
to this.

Speaker 48 (01:06:50):
You've just testified regarding your specific role, your personal role
in the days leading up to January sixth in the
DC National Guard. Do you have council president, ma'am? Now,
do you wish to amend your testimony in any way

(01:07:12):
regarding what you stated today? Verywell, Mayor Bowser, you are
the mayor of Washington, d C. Correct, I am in Washington,
d C. Is the capital of the United States of America.

Speaker 12 (01:07:26):
Correct, it is.

Speaker 48 (01:07:29):
The capital is the home of the entire seat of
our government. Executive branch, the legislative branch, is judicial branch.
The President is here, the Vice president is here. Four
hundred and thirty five Congressional offices, one hundred Senate offices,
the Supreme Court. All departments of the government are headquartered here.

(01:07:52):
All agencies are headquartered here. In your knowledge, you're very
intelligent American. You have a clear understanding of history.

Speaker 1 (01:08:06):
And your knowledge.

Speaker 17 (01:08:07):
Ma'am.

Speaker 48 (01:08:07):
Is there any other municipality in these United States that
has access to our seat of government as the citizens
of Washington, d C.

Speaker 39 (01:08:21):
Actually they all have more access because they have voting members.

Speaker 48 (01:08:25):
Up, I'll ask you to restrict your answers.

Speaker 12 (01:08:29):
To my question. So let's so, let's let's let's go.

Speaker 1 (01:08:33):
There, Robert h. They're like, let me remind you, no
clapping allowed in hearings. Well, they were clapping because dumb
ass look like a food.

Speaker 41 (01:08:47):
Yeah, any first year my trial professor can tell you
when you're doing that type of quote unquote cross examination,
don't ask open into questions and don't ask questions you
don't know the answer to you. You have to make
sure you box them in so there's only one answer,
which would be a yes or no answer. And he
got somebody out lawyered him on the lawyering after he

(01:09:08):
would end.

Speaker 7 (01:09:09):
Up very embarrassed.

Speaker 41 (01:09:10):
And this part of the issue that we have with
Republicans right now, because as I mentioned earlier, you have
to doing report come out earlier earlier this week or
last week talking about the issues with the FBI and
using flimsy evidence go after Trump. Okay, fine, And you
have Republicans people like Vivek, the guy runs for president,

(01:09:30):
can't pronounce his last name. Some other members of Congress saying,
we need to abolish the FBI, we need to abolish
law enforcement, we have to abolish the Department of Justice. Well,
if that is your view on law enforcement when it
comes to somebody potentially abusing President Trump, But what about
the way law enforcement preating black folks in this country
for the last four hundred years. But when we march

(01:09:51):
and say that we need to do something about over
policing in America, they say that we're calling for defunding
the police. But what Donald Trump literally says, we need
to a the FBI and federal law enforcement because they're
coming after me for all my crimes. Somehow, that is
back in the blue. That is being pro law enforcement.
These people don't think about things before they say that.
They don't put any policy considerations into.

Speaker 17 (01:10:13):
What they say.

Speaker 41 (01:10:14):
They don't care about hypocrisy or something stupid anymore. It's
all about what plays well on conservative media. What makes
a good sound bite for the podcast you go on,
What gets you on a television show? On a radio
broadcast later on and until what we deal with this
political situation of having the types of these types of
elected officials because of low Black turnout, because we're not

(01:10:36):
voting our population number to put these people out of office.
We're going to continue having these situations with a menagerie
of idiots running this country.

Speaker 1 (01:15:06):
And so please the number is there on the screen.
Let me want you to please make that phone call
because we need this young man to be found. The
number again is three O five three oh five two
four seven fifteen thirty five three oh five two four
seven fifteen thirty five.

Speaker 17 (01:15:25):
And so be sure to.

Speaker 1 (01:15:28):
Check that out, that number out. Actually, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
that's actually I'm called giving a different number here. So
let me pull this number up here, I have a
different one. Let's see here. Uh, here we go. So
you you have a number there on the screen, so
please call that particular number there. Let's go to headlines, y'all. Uh.

(01:15:48):
And first and foremost, Kid Rock is catching a lot
of heat because he has contributed five thousand dollars to
the fun of in your period. That's the white man
in New York City who killed Jordan neely Chochum. The
death he was so crazy. More than two million dollars

(01:16:09):
has been raised for the defense fund of this former
marine Florida Gonna Rona Santis literally put out put out
a tweet asking folks to give. Then Nicki Haley, she
comes out, do we have sound over for Nicki Haley
on this one? Talking about how she actually has called

(01:16:35):
for the governor of New York State, Kathy Hoche to
parton this.

Speaker 12 (01:16:41):
Dude, Joe, what the hell you got?

Speaker 1 (01:16:47):
Texas Governor Greg Abbott being pushed by Tucker Carlson and
he says he's gonna parton the white man, the racist
who killed the white Black Lives Matter protester. Now you've
got Nicki Haley saying, oh, the governor New York should
partner has got how all of a sudden, is Daniel
Penry now the latest Kyle Rittenhouse for the Republican Party?

Speaker 12 (01:17:08):
So we got it all right, press Blake.

Speaker 16 (01:17:13):
Because they will know that there's no accountability for anyone
who tries to stop them, and if she pardons him,
that sets of right on a lot of things. It'll
put criminals on notice, and it'll let people like Penny,
who really were very brave in that instance, it will
let them know that we've got their back.

Speaker 28 (01:17:31):
Exactly.

Speaker 15 (01:17:31):
We need more Daniel Pennies, and we don't need a
disincentive for strong men or women have standing up in
moments of crisis.

Speaker 28 (01:17:38):
And we need leaders.

Speaker 15 (01:17:38):
And this is why I wanted to see your answer
would be to that moment from twenty twenty. We need
leaders who will stand up with strength in these moments
where we are surrounded by fear. I have to go quickly,
but I want to have a longer conversation with you.
I hope that we have a longer conversation, but I
do want to ask you this question the way out.

Speaker 28 (01:17:53):
It's one that night.

Speaker 1 (01:17:54):
So while Joe Penny is now again their newest Kyle Rittenhouse, Yeah.

Speaker 13 (01:17:59):
Yeah, And he's got two million bucks.

Speaker 26 (01:18:02):
H he'll be able to mount up a pretty good defense,
and in liberal New York City, he's got a good
chance of at least hanging that jury.

Speaker 13 (01:18:11):
You know, New York is very interesting because it reminds
you of the paradox it is America.

Speaker 26 (01:18:17):
You know, even you know, you think, well, you're in
New York and so therefore, you know, we have Democrat
mayors and we have democratic governors or whatever else. But
going back decades, Rudy Trump, you know, you're at a
place that is a hotbed of racism.

Speaker 13 (01:18:32):
There's a whole lot of pressure there.

Speaker 26 (01:18:34):
And when someone a white military guy, kills a black man,
you know, there's you know, there's there's a there's value
to that white man's life a little bit more than
there is to that black man's life.

Speaker 13 (01:18:47):
And so therefore that's why we've reacted the way that
we have.

Speaker 26 (01:18:50):
If he killed a white person, this would be a
different person, different situation. If it was a black man
killing a white person, they'd be wanting to throw the
book at him.

Speaker 13 (01:18:58):
So suddenly, whether it's Texas or whether here's in New York.

Speaker 26 (01:19:01):
City, you've got folks that are pro crime and sometimes
build their careers on being pro crimed that turn around
and say, pardon ahead of time, don't even let the
system do its work, a system that frankly often advantages
folks that are white and folks that have resources.

Speaker 13 (01:19:18):
And mister Perry is in that situation if he wasn't before.

Speaker 26 (01:19:22):
I guess the only thing that's funnier in a sad
way is the whole idea that Nicky Haley actually thinks
she's gonna get through this cloud, get through this crowd,
and actually get the nomination.

Speaker 1 (01:19:31):
But then we can talk about that some other Look, Robert,
these people here again, whether it's gun enthusiasts, now, is
this guy Their hatred, their sheer hatred of homeless people
is evident. I mean, why in the hell would you

(01:19:52):
give to a defense fund for a guy who literally
choked the life out of somebody on the subway. Then
they had some silly ass black dude on Fox News
who was like, oh, everyone on that train was fearing
for their life, and they they said they thought he
had a weapon. I mean, they're just throwing all kind
of stuff up. Just go ahead and say we saw

(01:20:14):
a black man, Hey, we cool with a black man
getting choked to death.

Speaker 41 (01:20:20):
You know, in these situations always bring out my favorite
hypothetical figure. It was the imaginary white girl I created
named Lily White. And so imagine this situation that Lily
White is going through a mental health breakdown on a
train and then a grown man puts his arm round
her neck, tackles her to the ground, and chokes her
to death. Regardless of the context, there's no set of
circumstances where these exact same people will not be calling

(01:20:42):
for his execution. And that's just the reality of America
today that if you are a little white girl, you
can put the cheerleading outfit our girls got uniformed. So
little Lily White and her college cheerleading outfit going through
a mental breakdown and has choked to death and strangled
on video on a train. There's no set of circumstances
where we will see the same reaction to when there's

(01:21:02):
a grown black man going through a mental health crisis
being killed. The reason the slogan was before the group,
before the organization, before it was denigrated Black Lives Matter,
is exactly this. We have to give value to black lives.
These people who are donating don't give any value to
that black lives. They don't see him any different than
being an animal or a rat on the train, or

(01:21:23):
cockroach or any other kind of public nuisance. And when
they say, well, the people on the train were happy
about that, not to tell you everything you need to
know about America right now, Because when we see people
who are black, and we see people who are poor,
we see some humans in large parts of this society,
we see individuals who do not have civil rights or
human rights or even the right to exist, we see

(01:21:46):
nothing other than a pest. And that through the way
they treated this individual. That's the way these donators are
treating him. That's the way right when media are treating it.
They see somebody who kills a black homeless man as
a hero the same way that somebody stepped on a spot.

Speaker 7 (01:22:00):
And that's the scariest part of this situation, because all
you need is one.

Speaker 41 (01:22:05):
Upper east Side, wealthy Fox News bag of viewer on
that jury who may have had what interaction with somebody
or a homeless person or someone on the train one
time in their life. And this person, this man will
be acquitted and then will take his millions. He'll go
on a media tour like Kyle Redden House. He'll write
books like George Zimmerman and he will be set for
life because the value of a black man in this

(01:22:27):
country is so low that it's actually a tradable asset
that benefits people for executing.

Speaker 15 (01:22:33):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:22:34):
You know, Rebecca, there was a Latino man in Houston
who was on a date and that was a smiting.
The parking lot had gotten twenty dollars from the woman
he was going to meet on a date and gotten
twenty from him. He basically swunted them out of the money.

(01:22:56):
And then when the guy found out that they he
had gotten ripped off of forty dollars, he literally got
up from the dinner, went outside, went to the parking lot,
chased the duke, shot the dude, went back, sat down
and finished the date. It wasn't until a couple of

(01:23:18):
days later that the woman who was on the date
she called the cops and the guy was arrested for murder.
These folks today, they would likely hel him as a hero.
I mean these I mean and so I'm sitting there
going this dude, and again I don't know nothing about

(01:23:41):
Daniel Penny, but when you are a listen, when you are.
You're a former marine, you are trained to hell in
hand in hand combat. He knew he could kill that man.
He heard this man dying. And these people are saying, oh,
that was a great spectacle. These are the folks who
would who were if they were back in the Roman days,

(01:24:06):
will be sitting here going thumbs up, thumbs down.

Speaker 8 (01:24:09):
These people are sick and demented.

Speaker 39 (01:24:13):
So let's get this straight. So Nikki Hayley, who's a
contender for the Republican nomination to be president of the
United States of America a continent for nothing.

Speaker 1 (01:24:25):
Let's be clear, Recca her As ain't contending for nothing
but she, but she, and now she's running go ahead.

Speaker 39 (01:24:32):
So she is acting in furtherance as if she could
possibly get the nomination to possibly become the Republican nominee
to run for president in this these United States of America.
She just doubled down and supported vigilanteism, and specific white

(01:24:54):
vigilanteism of saying that we need to see people stand
up and you strength to deal with issues. So she's
saying like, that's not called the police, because remember she
is a part of a group of people who believe,
oh well, we support the blue we back the blue
where you know, against crime, but she's asking people to

(01:25:15):
take up their own arms or use their own hands
and to kill people because they're having a mental health crisis.
We're even swindling someone out of forty dollars, the penalty.

Speaker 28 (01:25:27):
Should be death.

Speaker 6 (01:25:29):
Like that doesn't make sense.

Speaker 39 (01:25:30):
So in between Nikki Hayley sending out thoughts and prayers
when we see mass shootings in this country, or even
Ted Cruz for that matter, and then they step back
and they say, oh, well, we need to do more
for mental health. You know, what do they mean when
they say we need to do more for mental health?
We need to have people kill people who are in
the middle of a mental health crisis. I am so

(01:25:51):
confused with what is going on here. And I mean
that I'm so confused. That's more rhetorical here, because I
know exactly what is going on here. It's like you said,
there was a devaluation of black lives in this country,
and now seeing these videos for certain people who aren't
doing their anti racism work, it becomes snuffed. It becomes

(01:26:12):
kind of like almost like a porn for them to
watch and to giggle and to laugh, and just like
you said, like if this was back during Roman times
a thumbs up, a good job, or if this was
back in the fifties and sixties when you had white
families on Sunday afternoons across the South show up to
the hanging tree to watch someone get hung. It's the

(01:26:33):
same thing, and it's.

Speaker 2 (01:26:35):
Sickening now, folks.

Speaker 1 (01:26:37):
On today's show, we're supposed to have Congresswoman Sheila Jackson
Lee and Congressman Jamal Bowman. But there was a vote
and that vote dealt with Democrats moving pushing for a
resolution to expel Congressman Georgia Santos. And so they were
outside on Capitol Hill. I'm just seeing this video here.

(01:26:58):
This is a reporter from seeing each video. So Santos
was out telling the remedia he was not going to resign.

Speaker 24 (01:27:04):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:27:05):
It was Bowman who yelled at him that he should resign,
and then Santos then walked away, and then Marjorie Taylor
Green she then decided to have a few words with
Jamal Bowman. Watched this exchange.

Speaker 12 (01:27:17):
Couldn't talking to bet.

Speaker 17 (01:27:20):
No, No, we don't know that.

Speaker 13 (01:27:21):
I don't know that's Fox stoves that listen.

Speaker 17 (01:27:24):
I need to just save the party.

Speaker 12 (01:27:28):
Saved the party.

Speaker 1 (01:27:34):
Couldn't talking to bet, I must say, Robert, I love
the fact that Jamal Boom Bowman ain't got no problem
getting in these fools faces.

Speaker 41 (01:27:44):
Why Marjorie Taylor Green salence, she was trying to talk
to the manager. I mean, like you, she really just
walked up with this level of white woman privilege that
is just difficult to comprehend. And the idea that you
just get to walk up to an another member will
no korum, with no class, with no dignity, well no
even understanding of the process. You talk to media, after

(01:28:06):
he talks to media, you have a debate, and then
you vote on things. That's the way we're doing civilized society.
But the trailer partner that she's from, apparently you think
you to get to walk up and start flapping your
gums around. So I'm glad that he handled it with
that level of class and dignity. I'm glad that he's
able to laugh those things off. Be in reality, it's
not a laughing matter. This is something that black men
did within the workplace and everywhere else and entitled care

(01:28:29):
and walking up and then they get to over talk
talk to you then because they don't have any respect
for you, So shout out to the brother for handling
in such a good way. Don't roll up on me
like that. I'm just gonna let you know that right now.
I do not roll up on me like that and
start flapping your gums. You're gonna find you're gonna here's
something you don't want to hear, and then'll be glad
that you have brothers like that who can handle it
in a more dignified fashion. Also the side note historical point.

(01:28:53):
When you put in the thumbs down in Rome, that
meant drop your weapons thumbs up as a killing blow
to the throw they lets it turned around Durms in seventeenthentry.

Speaker 1 (01:29:02):
But don't forget when this went down, when they were
in the halls of Congress after the shooting at Tennessee,
when Bowman let them know they weren't gonna do a
damn thing.

Speaker 13 (01:29:14):
Force stuff to respond to the question, why the hell
don't you do anything? To say America's children, and.

Speaker 12 (01:29:20):
Let them explain that all the way up.

Speaker 13 (01:29:22):
Until let'son down twenty twenty four.

Speaker 22 (01:29:25):
Let them explain it all the way up till lunch
and day on twenty thirty.

Speaker 13 (01:29:29):
Four, they're freaking college. They're colorless.

Speaker 22 (01:29:32):
We're not here.

Speaker 13 (01:29:33):
I'm talking about Dug Bob. You know, there's never been.

Speaker 45 (01:29:36):
I'm so she hang out in this school that.

Speaker 13 (01:29:39):
Allows teachers to carry terry college.

Speaker 1 (01:29:43):
But more that more gotta.

Speaker 13 (01:29:46):
Things are more dad because look at that day and
you're not looking at any day.

Speaker 12 (01:29:51):
Yeah, they haven't had no water for the lobby.

Speaker 1 (01:29:55):
Look at the day out.

Speaker 26 (01:29:56):
Poor's even more guess your stay side open.

Speaker 6 (01:30:09):
What I'm saying.

Speaker 13 (01:30:11):
I love children, dying whole children.

Speaker 1 (01:30:19):
Like I said Loman, I'm like, yo, you're about that life.

Speaker 12 (01:30:22):
All right, Let's let's.

Speaker 22 (01:30:24):
Go at it.

Speaker 1 (01:30:24):
So uh he is not afraid to get these folks
faced and let him know exactly how he feels. Let
me quickly go to a break. We come back more.
Rollard Martin Unfiltered, the Black stud Network will tell you
what Kim Gardner she annow she's resigning at Saint Louis
Circle attorney. She's doing all she can and get a
brother out of prison who's been there thirty three years
for crime to the commitment. I take exactly what that is.

(01:30:46):
When we come back.

Speaker 27 (01:30:50):
Hatred on the streets, a horrific scene white nationalist rally
that descended into deadly violent.

Speaker 28 (01:31:00):
People are moving their their minds.

Speaker 14 (01:31:03):
As a angry proach. Trump mat storms the US capital
the six show.

Speaker 17 (01:31:07):
We're about to.

Speaker 8 (01:31:08):
See the lives what I call white minority resistance.

Speaker 1 (01:31:10):
We have seen white folks in this country who simply
cannot tolerate black folks voting.

Speaker 18 (01:31:17):
I think what we're seeing is the inevitable result of
violent denial.

Speaker 23 (01:31:22):
This is part of American history. Every time that people
of color have made progress, whether real or symbolic, there
has been but Carol Anderson, every university calls white rage
as a backlash.

Speaker 1 (01:31:33):
This is the life of the Proud Boys and the
Boogaaloo Boys America. There's going to be more of this
at the Proud Guy.

Speaker 9 (01:31:40):
This country is getting increasingly racist and its behaviors and
its attitudes because of the fear.

Speaker 29 (01:31:47):
Of white people the few that they're taking our jobs,
they're taking our resources, they're taking out women.

Speaker 28 (01:31:53):
This is white beeing.

Speaker 1 (01:32:10):
Live Start Network.

Speaker 10 (01:32:14):
A real revolution there right now.

Speaker 6 (01:32:16):
I thank you for me and the voice of Black appearances.

Speaker 17 (01:32:18):
A moment that we have.

Speaker 6 (01:32:19):
Now we have to keep this going.

Speaker 24 (01:32:21):
The video looks phenomenal.

Speaker 37 (01:32:24):
Between Black Star Network and Black owned media and something
like seeing them.

Speaker 31 (01:32:29):
You can't be black owned media and be scared.

Speaker 21 (01:32:32):
It's time to be smart.

Speaker 7 (01:32:33):
Bring your eyeballs home.

Speaker 6 (01:32:36):
You dig.

Speaker 12 (01:32:41):
Kim Whitley, what's up to boy ice Cube?

Speaker 1 (01:32:43):
Ayo piece World? What's going on to see Left? King
LeVar b Hileie Devon and you're watching Roland Martin unfiltered
all RFO Saint Louis Circle attorney Kim Gardner. She's asked
a court to set aside Christopher Dunn's first degree murder
conviction after witnesses who testify against them later said authorities

(01:33:06):
had pressured them to lie. Spin has been there for
thirty three years. In a statement, Gardner said, mister Dunn
has been incarcerated for a crime in which there is
clear and convincing evidence he did not commit. We have
an ethical duty to work to correct this injustice. Dunn
was eighteen years old, folks, when he was convicted for
the nineteen ninety shooting death of Rico Rogers. This will

(01:33:27):
not be the first time a judge will hear about
Dunn's innocence. At an Evidentiarrea hearing in twenty twenty, Judge
William Hickel agreed that a jury will likely find Done
not guilty based on new evidence, but a Hickel declined
ain't to exonerate Done, citing in twenty sixteen Missouri Supreme
Court ruling that only death row inmates could make a

(01:33:49):
free standing claim of actual innocence. Dunn was sentenced to
life in prison without the possibility of parole. Well, Joe, hell,
ain't Ain't that a death sentence?

Speaker 15 (01:34:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 26 (01:34:00):
Functionally speaking, I mean, you know, I'm glad that the
DA is doing a couple of things here, she's on
her way out.

Speaker 13 (01:34:08):
But this is absolutely the right thing to do.

Speaker 26 (01:34:11):
He's been in jail for thirty three years, and so
you can only think of how many people are not
getting this moment, are not getting this opportunity. We create
this farce of safety through incarcerating people, But you incarcerate.

Speaker 13 (01:34:24):
The wrong people.

Speaker 26 (01:34:25):
You use eyewitness evidence, You pressure witnesses into saying what
you need.

Speaker 13 (01:34:29):
Them to say, and then they go away, you know.
And so how many brothers, particularly brothers are in jail
because they basically checked a box.

Speaker 26 (01:34:38):
They're in the wrong place at the wrong time, and
the DA or whoever it was, or the officers decided
that this would be the one to help them check
the box, close it up, wrap it up in a boat,
and forget about it. Lock them up and throw away
the key. How much has this actually happened? And it
should be and they're hopeful that they'll get this resolve.
But it should be that if you're getting something wrong,

(01:35:00):
it shouldn't just be the person that's on death road
that you can reverse. It should be also the person
that's doing life that you should be able to reverse.
If it's the right thing to do, it's the right thing.
But I believe that there is this fear, this underlying
fear that if you really got to the bottom of
all of this, there's be a whole lot of people
would upset you quite a bit to know how much

(01:35:20):
you actually get it wrong.

Speaker 13 (01:35:22):
But the fact of the matter is it's been staring
us in the face, and hopefully this is one more
step toward us dealing with it.

Speaker 1 (01:35:29):
It is beyond frustrating, Rebecca, to see these cases thirty
three years, thirty three years and they have a judge
come to that conclusion and then go and nothing I
can do those three years ago.

Speaker 39 (01:35:47):
You know, if the state can lawfully take your life,
if the state can lawfully take your possessions if the
state can you know, if the state can do those things,
and the state could also make it right. And so
bottom line is if the state, if this state prosecution
turns out that it wasn't accurate, then the state should

(01:36:09):
be able to remedy that. And to say that you know,
everyone's hands is tied, that's just simply isn't good enough
and we need to do better. Like, if this is
really going to be a criminal justice system, then justice
has to be equal on both sides. It has to
be evenly weighted.

Speaker 24 (01:36:25):
And that's not what you know.

Speaker 39 (01:36:26):
If it wasn't for this prosecutor, then I don't know
that this particular person would even have the ability to
if it wasn't for this particular prosecutor caring enough to
do something about this as she leaves office, I don't
think the rest of the criminal justice system in Missouri
would even care.

Speaker 24 (01:36:46):
And that's the travesty that's here.

Speaker 1 (01:36:49):
Well, they won't care because you got Republicans in Missouri,
Robert who don't give a damn. They claim they got
pro life. They don't care about the life of a
black man who is spent thirty three years in prison
for a crime a judge says he likely did not commit.

Speaker 41 (01:37:07):
See Roland, you're looking for intellectual consistency, and I don't
know why you're still looking for this. Just take the
example we used earlier about the MAGA saying they want
to defund the DOJ, they want to shut down the
FBI because of the mistakes and the Trump investigation. Well
that's the case, then shouldn't we be doing that for
every single one of these situations where a man like

(01:37:29):
this is incarcerated for the majority of his life because
of the crime that he didn't commit. Shouldn't we be
the voting national federal resources too sure that we can
go through convictions on a nationwide basis, find the incorrect ones,
and release those people from prison. That just seems like
something we should be doing, which didn't have to depend
on outside of organizations like the Innocent Project and the

(01:37:50):
benevolence of progressively minded prosecutors. To have justice in this country,
we need to put pressure on our federal government to
go through and right the wrongs of the past. There
are still people we have political prisoners in jail, from
the Black radical movement to the.

Speaker 7 (01:38:05):
Nineteen fifties, sixties, and seventies We still.

Speaker 41 (01:38:07):
Have people who are in jail from the War on
drugs in the seventies, eighties, and nineties. We still have
brothers right now who are being sentenced today for crimes
where there's very clear information and did not commit that
because of the nature of our criminal justice system, that
the overuse of public defenders, the overuse of plea deal
the cases we need to go through and a systematic

(01:38:30):
fashion fits this system, not piece by piece, not in
case by case. We have to blow it up and
then rebuild it from scratch.

Speaker 1 (01:38:40):
To the folks who're watching, go to New York Times,
go to ny T, I n e S dot com.
Reporter Lisa Belkin has his great piece in the opinion section.
Go to my iPad, and folks, the headline is it's
okay to drop chartist if you've got the wrong person.
It's called doing your job, and that's what Kim Gardner
is doing, Lisa writes in this opening paragraph here of

(01:39:05):
a case March nineteen eighty nine, a case of involving
Randall Dale Adams served twelve years for the murder of
a Texas police officer to be granted a new trial.
A filmmaker pretty much laid out this guy was completely innocent.
And this is what she wrote here, and this is
the problem that you see here with these prosecutors, she
wrote in a damning ruling, the appeals court accepted the

(01:39:28):
findings of a lower court that Dallas County prosecutors had
suppressed evidence favorable to mister Adams, deceive the court on
the whereabouts of a witness, and knowingly use perjured testimony,
she said, but prosecutors were still disinclined to let mister

(01:39:49):
Adams go. The folks in Missouri they had been attacking
Kim Gardner from the moment that she was elected. Why
because she actually chose to charge the former Republican governor
who was sitting here extorting a woman when it came
to who was here an affair with who took some
pictures of her was holding against her from that moment,

(01:40:12):
she's ticked them off, and they've attacked her viciously. Her
resignation is the result of how they have been attacking
her and tearing down her credibility and going after her
at every single juncture. And she has been fighting, using
the power of her office to get people released from

(01:40:33):
prison who did not commit crimes. When Craig Watkins was
a District Attorney in Dallas County, he created a public
Interrogatory Unit to go back and look at all cases,
to go back and retest DNA. There were people who
were released from prison because previous prosecutors cut corners, broke

(01:40:54):
the law to put them in jail. And we've seen
examples all across the country. Many happens across the country,
all across the country. Well, this has happened numerous prosecutors
doing the very same thing, and people are sitting in
jail who should not be there. You cannot get those

(01:41:15):
years back being confined to a cell. And so hopefully
we will see some positive movement with this case before
Kim Gardner steps down, because there's no guaranteed the person
replacing her is gonna have the same compassion that she has.
You're watching roller about Unfiltered on the Black sid Network.

(01:41:37):
Black Star Network.

Speaker 10 (01:41:41):
Are real revolution there right now.

Speaker 6 (01:41:43):
I thank you for me and the voice of black Afaran.

Speaker 10 (01:41:45):
Woman that we have.

Speaker 6 (01:41:46):
Now we have to keep this going.

Speaker 30 (01:41:48):
The video looks phenomenalf between Black Star Network and black
owned media and something like CNN.

Speaker 31 (01:41:56):
You can't be black owned media and be scared to
be smart, bring your eyeballs home.

Speaker 28 (01:42:03):
You dig.

Speaker 37 (01:42:07):
Next on the Black Table with me Greg Carr, we
look at one of the most influential and permanent Black
Americans of the twentieth century.

Speaker 21 (01:42:16):
His work literally changed the work.

Speaker 37 (01:42:19):
Among other things, he played a major role in creating
the United Nations.

Speaker 21 (01:42:24):
He was the first African.

Speaker 37 (01:42:25):
American and first person of color to win the Nobel
Peace Print, and yet today he is hardly a household name.

Speaker 21 (01:42:33):
We're talking, of course, about Ralph J.

Speaker 6 (01:42:35):
Biche.

Speaker 37 (01:42:37):
A new book refers to him as the absolutely indispensable man.

Speaker 36 (01:42:41):
His lifelong interest and passion in racial justice, specifically in
the form of colonialism, and he saw his work as
an activist an advocate for the black community here in
the United States as just the other side of the
coin of his war trying to roll back European empire

(01:43:03):
in Africa.

Speaker 37 (01:43:03):
Author cal Rostialla will join us to share his incredible story.
That's on the next Black Table here on the Black
Star Network.

Speaker 6 (01:43:13):
Hey everybody, it's your girl who now?

Speaker 17 (01:43:15):
So what's up?

Speaker 22 (01:43:16):
This is your boy herb Quake h I am Chailey
Rose and you're watching Roland Martin Unfiltered.

Speaker 1 (01:43:37):
Oh you wear that black agis community is that actually
purchase items with plastic lack access to recycling areas living
we'll call hot zones for a waste incineration. And I'm
more exposed to the toxic chemicals that leak from plastics
during use into the air land and waterways when those
plastics are beery or burned. Well, the Black Art has

(01:44:00):
created pivot plastic. What is pivot plastic? Well, the co
founder Michael Pratt joins us right now to tell us
about this. All right, Michael, glad to have you here.
So explained our folks what pivot plastic is.

Speaker 17 (01:44:16):
Hey, Roland, thanks for having me back. I pivot plastic.

Speaker 49 (01:44:20):
Simply is the material that rapidly degrades when it goes
into a little head field.

Speaker 17 (01:44:25):
Essentially you mentioned it already earlier, but.

Speaker 49 (01:44:27):
In general, plastic takes four to five hundred years to
even begin degrading when it's thrown away and when it's
sitting at landfill. And so my co founder Will and
I worked on in material that we have called pivot
plastic that allows plastic to self cycle. And what we
mean by that is simply that if you do not
recycle one of a pivot products made of our plastic

(01:44:50):
when it enters landfills, it'll rapidly degrade in three to
five years. We've gone and had it third party tested
by a company by the name of Innertech Global Testing Facility,
who've given us the highest level award possible Green Leaf
Award for our product because it rapidly to grades in
three to five years.

Speaker 17 (01:45:08):
We're meeting consumers where they are.

Speaker 49 (01:45:09):
Ninety percent of plastic goes in the landfill anyway, so
instead of trying to create a way to change consumer behavior,
we've met them where they are, so that the product
is where you're being green instead of having to make
an action to be green.

Speaker 1 (01:45:21):
So obviously there are so many items that are being
made using plastic. Have any major companies responded to what
you have created and are using your plastic?

Speaker 17 (01:45:34):
So we are still in our infancy as a company.

Speaker 49 (01:45:37):
I'm self funded and intending to be that way as
a black owned company as best possible. We currently work
with Target Tea, Mobile Best Buy. We're looking at entering
Verizons stores this year as well. So companies are responding
to us and giving us the opportunity to get our
products in front of consumers.

Speaker 1 (01:45:54):
So how long have your plastics have this ITLEM on
the market.

Speaker 17 (01:46:01):
We've been in the market for about three years.

Speaker 49 (01:46:02):
I had the fortune of starting the brand, starting the
business and entering the market right before global pandemic COVID,
so that slowed everything down for us, and the fact
that everyone was sitting at home and not buying or moving.

Speaker 17 (01:46:15):
But we've been rapidly growing since then.

Speaker 49 (01:46:17):
MPD, which is the largest are the They're kind of
like the Nielsen for a point of sale and what
happens in retail. We ranked us as the twentieth largest
case or protective case brand in the market last year.
So we're moving, We're growing rapidly, and it's just a
matter of getting work of your audience and others like
us into the stores to pick up our product instead
of other brands.

Speaker 1 (01:46:38):
Questions for the panel, I'll start with you, Joe, Wow,
this is.

Speaker 13 (01:46:43):
A great product.

Speaker 26 (01:46:43):
Tell me about what your next frontiers would be in
terms of your imagined growth in the next three to
five years.

Speaker 13 (01:46:50):
What would you like to grow into if you had
your druthers.

Speaker 49 (01:46:54):
So you know, the best place to go is anywhere
that there is a one time used, our single year
use a short life cycle plastic. I would right now,
the mobile accessories market is multiple billion dollar market. I'm
trying to grow to become a top tier brand, top
tier and top ten brand.

Speaker 17 (01:47:12):
First and then from there.

Speaker 49 (01:47:13):
The reason we even started with cases is because when
you consider everyone on the planet is carrying a phone,
what better cheap way to market than to sell a
case to you and have you walk around seeing the
pivot name.

Speaker 17 (01:47:24):
Then when you see it on something else, you already
know who we are and you're already you know I've
already done the branding.

Speaker 12 (01:47:31):
Rebecca, Sure, do.

Speaker 39 (01:47:33):
You have a particular patent on the technology or like
utility patent on the technology for this type of plastic?

Speaker 49 (01:47:42):
They are patent pending right now, so we are working
towards getting that finalized.

Speaker 17 (01:47:46):
And then you know there are others working in different
industries and such.

Speaker 49 (01:47:49):
We again, I have over fifteen years in the telecommunications industry,
so I was I'm a subject matter expert on the
waste and what type of plastic and what type of
consumer behavior that I wanted to go after with coming
up with a sustainable solution. So that's why we entered here. First,
best network for me, best relationships and such. So yes,
we have a patent pinning, and once we get to

(01:48:11):
the level we want to hear in consumer electronics, we
will start branding into our moving into other categories and verticals.

Speaker 41 (01:48:20):
Robert, you know, green energy and cleaning up the environment
or all the rage right now, Have you reached out
to any large industries or in this sector for additional funding,
from partnership, from mentorship, for distribution, et cetera.

Speaker 7 (01:48:34):
Because it seems like this is something they should be
jumping at.

Speaker 49 (01:48:38):
So the answer, that's a pretty complicated answer to provide.
So obviously, as we started off, we were looking for
support again going through the pandemic. Even then when Black
Lives Matter kicked off and everyone was saying they were
going to support and push black business more, We've just
still found it to be a struggle. To be very

(01:48:59):
honest with you. Of Top to Fortune five hundred, I've
talked to many banks. We've still founded a struggle. We're
revenue generating entity. As I mentioned, that product is nationally available.
It's just a struggle. And I'm also happy that I'm
privately owned, that it's my business. And while it's taking
us a bit longer, you know, our community has generationally

(01:49:21):
been able to create wealth has generationally been able to
create in this society.

Speaker 17 (01:49:25):
And had it taken or been limited.

Speaker 49 (01:49:27):
I'm trying to build a business in an industry that
there aren't many black owned companies and then trying to
then use that to help inspire others to do so.

Speaker 17 (01:49:36):
So while I would love money.

Speaker 49 (01:49:38):
From others, and I would love to be able to
grow faster through the support of other money, I'm kind
of happy doing it the way I am right now
as well, because it's fine, it's ours, and it's something
that I can look to use as an example for others.

Speaker 1 (01:49:52):
And so up my last question, and so what type
of products or what type when you're talking to that
this product is best used for?

Speaker 35 (01:50:04):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (01:50:05):
Correct case? Is is it water bottles?

Speaker 40 (01:50:08):
Like what?

Speaker 49 (01:50:10):
So the material that we have, our felf cycle technology
works on multiple different types of plastic, So any of
these plastics that we've tested on and can be manufactured
for any type of plastic product use. We focus right
now on consumer electronics in the mobile sector, so we
manufacture phone cases, we manufacture product our cases for your
AirPods for your tablets.

Speaker 17 (01:50:31):
Where we make charging products right now, wall chargers, cables.

Speaker 49 (01:50:35):
We right now again as a consumer electronics focused brand
to help get our brand name out and help proliferate
our technology have focused on mobile. So but to your question,
you could use our additive on pretty much any type
of plastic.

Speaker 1 (01:50:49):
All right, then, look where can people get more information?

Speaker 49 (01:50:54):
You can go to mypivot dot com It's M Y
P I V E T dot com to see our product.

Speaker 1 (01:51:02):
Okay, all right, then, well, look, congratulations, good luck with
Pivot and hopefully folks will take advantage of the product.

Speaker 17 (01:51:12):
I appreciate you having me on. Thanks so much, brother.

Speaker 1 (01:51:14):
All right, thanks a bunch. I'm gonna thank Rebecca, Joe
and Robert for being on our panel today. But before
we got we do this here and so I'm go
