Speaker 1 (00:01):
We are all messed up.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Come on, are you high here for sure?
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Started are you going to get a gate?
Speaker 1 (00:10):
And he's in here a million times I'm like, oh, Lucas,
leave it to Lucas. Hey, guys, we are here. It's
(00:37):
Brandy Glenville. It's uh, Lucas Lucas. I'm just gonna say
it for him and Henana Lancaster. And what are we
doing today for black and white conversations? We don't fucking know.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
We don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
We are a week out from the elections, people, and
we have so many things to discuss, and we're nervous.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Now we're right. We just discussed them all before the
camera came on. Now we're going to do it again.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
We have fifty cent voting for trail.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
What the fuck?
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Well?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
I get it though.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
We were talking about that like motivation. So it's it's money,
like when you make a lot of money, you got
to protect your money. And I get it. But people
are real, you know, read against him, like can we really?
Can we really? Is it because he's black?
Speaker 4 (01:16):
That makes it wrong?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Because well, the Black Lives Matter movement is right now
and I feel like with Trump, I do believe that
he is a racist, and so if I was a
black person, I would not be voting for a racist,
even if I was a millionaire and didn't want to
pay taxes, just like I feel like people. But that's
me a contraence these wretch white men out there and
(01:37):
fifty and that's what I'm saying. Is it all mighty.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Doll Well, I feel like that people. So I feel
like this is just a random topic. But black people
who vote for Trump get harder and it's for the
same reasons. It's all about money, but they get a
harder judgment against her because, you know.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Because of the movement and everything that's going on with
black lives.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
But it's all It does come back to the dollar,
back to the tax discounts and different economic pieces of
Trump's presidency. He is a savvy businessman, so they are
those pieces of it.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
He paid like seven dollars in taxes and made all
of this money, and I paid like more than half
of what I made. It's so crazy to me that
these rich people, they don't agree with anything he says,
but they're so worried about their money in the bank
that they're just going to vote this idiot back in
and look at the state of our of our world
right now, of the United States, we are in the
(02:31):
worst place we have ever been in history that we
know of. I mean, maybe.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Yeah, we have work, I mean as a as a
as a global community, the worst. I mean, it's just
like we got people shooting protesters in Nigeria police you know,
I mean they're super group of police in Nigeria actually
shooting citizens. They turned the lights off and starts shooting.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
He sounds a present. We get people get shot out
here in La every day.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
It's just not about the police what we do. But
I mean, it's just it's just global.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah, it's it's the worst. And I get so angry
when Donald Trump sits there and he's like, I've created
the best economic system ever. Remember looking around seeing homeless
people everywhere going this man is fucking delusional. We might
have had a good year, but right now we are
(03:31):
in the bottoms. The crime is going through the roof
because people can't afford toilet paper.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Well, you know, they say that's actually not true. They
actually said that crimes at an all time low because really, yep,
because people have been in the house, so there is
there's lack of interaction to have the crime happen. So
the rocher stories, the murderers, the rapes, all of those,
it's a category of crimes have all gone down.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Crime crimes. I mean, I think that like when you're
stealing money and you're you know, robbing people and breaking
into car because you don't have any money and you
need to spe like that, I feel like, I mean,
your car.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
I got a back here. We're selling for parts, any
pars to a two thousand and two Mercedes.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
You know who to call, give me a call.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
We get everything.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
But well, yeah, so we have a lot going on today.
We're you know, obviously the vote is going through.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
We haven't received j melon ballots. Go to the election polls.
Every vote is going to count.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
It's going to be closed. I don't think it's going
to be a landslide. I'm very scared. I did when
I voted, I saw that Kanye is on the ballot.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
And Kanye did release a new commercial.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I know the only thing that's doing to us is
taking votes away from Biden. I really believe that. I
just feel like it's it's so narcissistic to do this
when we're in this this situation right now. Just listen.
You know, he's got all the money, he's got all
the fans. Why why do why do this? I just
(05:10):
don't get it. I feel like it's very selfish.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Because Obama called him a clown.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Oh he did. I've never heard of that.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
I've never heard about it. He just did it.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yes, it was it. Yesterday's first.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
I'm talking about backing when Obama was in office he
called Kanye a clown.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
No, but he did. Obama just recently spoken. He was angry. Oh,
you never seen him angry.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Last yesterday we spoke in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
He was.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Like, oh, no, you know he talked about the Chinese
You heard about the Chinese bank account? No, oh, have
you all heard about the Chinese bank account?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I heard about Iran.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Trump has a Chinese bank account that he just got
fifteen million dollars out of he spent He paid like
one hundred and eighty or eighteen thousand dollars in taxes
in China. In China, well, if they siven hundred, be here.
But the problem is you can't. The president of the
United States can't be beholden financially to outside countries overseas.
(06:08):
It's just you can't.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
That is very odd.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
I'm shocked there. I haven't heard about Donald Trump's bank
account in China. It almost sounds like sounds like.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
This is real or not because I haven't heard it,
because I'll be on its trust.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
That's what Obama talked about it yesterday. He said they
would have called me Beijing. What do you call them?
They would have called me Beijing.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Lot than half the things that Trump has gotten away.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Especially because his racial situation, which is his racial situation,
our situation.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
A situation.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Isn't he not black? Buddy?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Well, depends on how you look at because.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Isn't he part middle stern?
Speaker 3 (07:01):
He is not mental East and he's half Kenyon and
half white?
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Is he?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
I didn't, Yes.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Exactly, he's African American.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Well, by the by the one quarter rule, off you're
one drop what is it, one drop one drop off
recan blood?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
You are me and the boys.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
I think it's about five hundred million in the bank
before you're really not black anymore?
Speaker 7 (07:26):
Five hundred million, I mean, really is it has to
do with status between You know that one percent blood
is one percent until you start making money, that you
start getting.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Right, you're a little wider.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
You know that right now, by the.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Way made his career. I don't know when he made
his last rap. He's a rapper, so I don't know
what he means.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
His last He's an entrepreneur now he has Rocky Showtime
the Stars.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Oh, he's in the media. He's trying to sell TV shows,
and and we all know at this table how hard
it is to you know, get along, go along, to
get along, you know. Fifty Yeah, I can't right now.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
I mean, I think Power, that whole TV show puts
us every time it comes on, we go back, we
take three steps back.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Is it rock the rock in that?
Speaker 4 (08:17):
No, I don't watch it.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
You don't about ballers?
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Want power? Is this sick kind of TV show? About
don't who do illegal things?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
And I actually really enjoy Power.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
It was controversial absolutely.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Everybody, like literally everybody. It has been off for years now,
and so like I go through these faces, Jay.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yeah, okay, I'm sure, yeah, all right, it's good. Now
we're not talking about.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
We're talking about power. How the media has control of fifty.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Fifty's protecting his interest fifty is protecting his interests.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
He's taking care of his bag, his big account.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Okay, that's sixty eight percent.
Speaker 8 (09:03):
Means that if you make one hundred dollars in America
and you don't invest it or do anything, you just
want to hoard that money, you got to pay us
sixty eight percent of it.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Otherwise it's never affected. So it's a big game that
they're playing the fifties, trying to reinvent himself.
Speaker 9 (09:22):
He's an instigator. He instigates everything he calls because Floyd
can't read, so he's I mean, he's not his character
to look up to. I don't know who would take
political advice from much less.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I think that act Chelsea Handler was the one that
she called him out, and I think she made it
more of a thing than he did.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
With Chelsea, do you think she's funny?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Nope, I like her America, I don't like each other.
We have a personal situation with the same book agent.
We've had a few fights.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Physically, A wish you know.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I'm just in a humping mood. I've never seen him hump.
He needs to go.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
No humping around helping around to that.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
I mean, but she has her new you see her
her new cot.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Her apology to her her HBO thing. Did you see
it I'm not trying to watch that.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
I tried. It was so not funny.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
No, I know who.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Thinks that she's funny.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Not a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
You ever seen it when you're talking about we gonna
get back to we got to get back to the
well was.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
About fifty, so I was just used to have sex
with him. They were like a couple of well.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
She said he was her favorite ex boyfriend until now.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
She said last night that she she preferred black man,
and she said some stupid like white men don't worry
the beaver grows back or something. She was playing so
many stereotypes. I felt kel I mean, it's a Kelsey
and Trump. So's wrong with this world?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
It is, there's a lot the world is ship right now.
That's what happened to voted hopefully, like I know my
balance in Ryan took it.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Ye, we're talking about the ballot box being set on fire.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
No, I was probably like, but you guys heard about
Russia and I ran interfering. Right. They're they're sending out
emails to people that are Democrats saying we're the good
old boys and we're gonna suck you up if you vote,
if you vote for Biden like threatening, I've.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Heard a fake battlet boxes being posted.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
People about the Supreme Court says, there's no way that
that case is going to be that's right here in
Orange County.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Wow, we're not in Orange County.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Yeah, but these these guys have got these fake boxes
and they want us to put our balance in down
in Orange County.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
But we're not there.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
There are some shady ballot boxes, like one outside of
a church with like a kid.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
People go to the post office, go to the post office,
go to a peop little give it to the mail man.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
But I did, she said.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
She said, here, very man does not speak, but I
will trust him.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Way she said, you would take that?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yeah here, all right, Well you did good. You did good.
I'm proud.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Were in California. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Note though not Orange County. Sherman Oaks, California.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Anything on Paradix? What was all the racist things are
going through my minds want to bring them up. I'm sorry, No,
you're good.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
It's hilarious, but I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
It's just like there's so many things that are going on.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
You're hlirious because well weed number one. But to it's
it's over, not over. But we're going to know soon
enough if we have any president or.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Not or does keep going like this or you know.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I think to put in perspective, no matter what has
an election, we still have so much for it as
a country. Whoever comes in in January, whoever gets elected,
be elected, like the same issues. We're still going to have,
our mass on. The economy is still going to be
required to be recovered, like we are still black lives
will still matter. We still have to fix the schools.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Biden has a huge he's if he gets in, he
has a giant hole to dig out of, like the
worst hole, and only four years to do it. So
I feel like that's almost such a pressure on his
shoulders to how can he even win that? But I
feel like we'd be in a better situation with Biden.
But he's going to take a lot of heat because
getting out of this is going to be it's nearly impossible,
(13:42):
but we're going to do it. It's just gonna take
a lot of time. And I don't think that we're
very patient right.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Now as a country.
Speaker 6 (13:50):
I mean mean here in California, when we were like
a month when you were driving around, was no one else,
no more do that in California.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Because just getting worse. It's just getting worse here too.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
But honestly, don't you think that if Biden wins, Trump
will say no matter what is going to say, Oh,
it's a roost, we have to do it over. We
got to count the ballots. It was a cheat, you know. Yeah,
he is going to resist and make it so difficult
and it's just going to take forever. I don't think
it would be that way the if it was the
other way around. I don't think Biden would do that.
But I feel like Trump will can test it and
(14:25):
we're just going to have a fucking shit shot. I
really like that lipstick.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Amazing.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, we're going to take a break.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
When we come back, we're going to talk about some
of the local measures and props that we think are
most important. Check us out and one.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
All right, you guys, we are back and we want
to talk about a couple of measures that are very important,
and we're going to start with Prop Number twenty five
for number sixteen. Excuse me, okay.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Prop sixteen.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
California is one of non states that has banned a
furntive action as a tool to fight discrimination.
Speaker 10 (15:14):
Prop sixteen would end the band and expand opportunity for all.
So that means that we will start considering race, gender, LGTBQ.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Kind of rights, which right now California is one of nine.
You think about one of nine when you got Mississippish
with that band. A friend of action. So a friend
of action means that due to.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
A person's they take it into consideration, take it into
consideration and.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Everything, which is only fair. Yeah, you know, if you
had to go to public school in South Central compared
to the kid who went to Santa Monica, let's get
the kid in South Central's four point a little bit
more shah because he has so much left and he
score sixteen on the standard dots tests. It has all
the time that we have these outstanding people come out
(16:08):
of what do they say, come out of the sand,
and they just need that one little break and say,
hey I did this. It's twice as hard for me
to get here to this.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I feel like there should be the socioeconomic part, Yes, absolutely,
because it's it's just so difficult. But as far as
gender goes for me, I feel like women have been
fighting so long to have equal rights and now we
want to be taken into consideration. Because we are a chick.
I feel like, yes, as far as you know, helping
underprivileged people and that part. But I don't know about
(16:41):
wanting special rights because I'm a woman. I want to
be treated like a man. I want like I've been
fighting the whole me too thing this whole time, being like, Okay,
we're taking these men down. So I'm kind of split
on that because I do agree with part of it,
but the other part I don't.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
So for me, So it's funny I wrote, I wrote
my grad school essay on diversity, and but but I
think what these states who are banned from action are
missing is the value of diversity. And I think that's
the real It's not which piece of versy came from.
It's the practice of including people and having a diverse
student population, having a diverse workforce, having the benefit of
(17:18):
different perspectives. That's what's really missing in America, having a
diverse people in different spots that up until now people
have access to it. It's a real issue here because
if the Supreme Court had more diversity, if the White
House had more diversity, then a lot of the things
that we're facing now wouldn't be a public in front
of action isn't just taking somebody who was poor and
(17:40):
putting them into a place. It's taking people who are
qualified and giving them the opportunity to be in a
spot with their diversity makes a difference and improves the situation.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Righting to just take all like the you know, let's
say everyone has a four point zero. You don't just
take the rich people exactly one from each area.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
You know what I'm saying, Knowledge that people come from
different backgrounds, different experience can contribute different factors.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
To the exactly and it wouldn't be for our children.
It wouldn't be so like black and white. It would
just be this is the normal. But we're all different,
we all come from places and it's the norm, and
it would probably end racism.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Empathy without empathy, run without empathy.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
If you can't feel for another person without actually being
another person, So like we can't ever have again when
people are talking about women's rights and the whole room
is white men, it's just a ridiculous that we would
be sitting there talking about women's rights, deciding and deciding
what's going to happen for women, and there're no women.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
In the room.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
But this is the I think this is the This
is indicative of the issues in America. So we all
have this perspective like, oh, it's our firma of action,
but what does that really look like. It really looks
like leveling the playing field so that everyone has counted
and everyone is represented. That way, we make better decisions
out of country, better decision And I think people, oh,
it's bad that it favors black people, the women. Well
(19:09):
we don't only have it favors black people. There's a
lot of argument against from reaction. But if you think
about it, really in the top corporations and the Senate
and the Congress and in the places that matter, where
are we right?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
So what do you say, say then you're voting yes
on that? Oh? Absolutely, yeah, just making sure.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
So clear.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
So if you're in California, vot yes on whatever.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Oh, we're talking definitely in La County, Yes on Prop sixteen. Yes,
it's not a state state, California.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
It's kind of Also, I think it's a general conversation
like our phone of action has such a negative stigma
for white people that it comes across as you know,
we're losing out there was that whole the woman in
Texas who went to the Supreme Court about you know
that she lost her opportunity because of our phone of action.
That's not what it is. I think if we, like
we said, we open up the conversation to include the
(20:03):
benefits of diversity, then we have a different conversation.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
I mean, that's right now. They've been arguing over the
affront faction in California for several years.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
So we need to vote yes on sixteen.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Yes, we need to do it.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
If you're in California.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
If you're in California, Yes, Yes sixteen.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Now.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Prop twenty five is that the other one we want
to talk about? Bail? It passed.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
It will end cash bail and subject defendants to racial
profiling by replacing it with racist classes, risk assessments algorithms
to imprison defendants before trial.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
So basically saying, with no more bail than they we'll
start looking at the defenders, and inherently black people can
be profiled and be sent straight back to jail even
though we don't have bail.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I'm confused on that one. I don't even understand what
you just said.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Right now, if you get arrested and they'll look at you,
would say, well, she's a risk or not a risk
or odds here showing up and this that and the other.
So ten thousand, oh, I.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
See, I remember now, and I remember they keep on
playing that we got rapist that was rich and white
got out on jail, and the other guy that was
a non violent crime that couldn't jail. Yeah, he couldn't
afford to And that's the iss.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
So what am I saying?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
So we're saying no, no, no cash bail.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
So there are two actually on the ballot in California
right now about about bail, and it's one about non
violent felonies. But I just wanted to put out the
issues around incarceration and the whole cash bail system is
larger than that because it desparably impacts of Minardi community
because you don't have the money to get out. You're
sitting in jail because you didn't because your kid didn't
(21:45):
go to school for tracy, So you all of the
all of the felonies that have bail attached to them,
you're not going to get out. You're sitting in jail
for time years over a speeding ticket because you couldn't
pay for the wark. So if you don't have the
money if you're in a low income c if you're
property stricken, cash bells aren't ready effective. So there's a
few different issues just around the whole bail system in general.
(22:07):
That should be part of the political crime re form,
which I think they're looking at it now, and it
starts to the ballot. But there's two issues. So one
of the cash bill issue, because if you can't afford
to pay the cash bill, now you're second jail. And
to the and and what Lucas was referring to was
that there's an algorithm. So now now there's some sort
of metric that will be designed to confirm whether or.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Not you should get bailed, so that they type it
all in and then this computer is going to spit
out O bail, no bail please.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
So there's that. And then the other piece is the
whole non violent versus violent cash bil thing, which which
should be allowed. So there's they acknowledge that the cash
bell system isn't working, but now what do we do
about it? Do we take out cash bail for non
violent felons? I say yes, But do we put on
an algorithm that will then determine who else has to
(22:58):
pay cash bill?
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Now?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Get the show us with the algorithm, show us what
the algorithm is dependent on what the stats already, what's
the data behind it?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Said, maybe like prior, if somebody has priors, if somebody
is you know, the third strike situation, possibly, like I
would say, maybe then you're you're not gonna you know,
you might be a bail risk, but I wouldn't. I mean,
obviously it just you can't do that for everyone because.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
It's just notither. So he knows already feel bad. Start.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
So what I'm saying is if Lucas and I both
have no priors, which we do, I went and we're
both standing there right in part of them, and they
decide which one stays and goes.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
But they're already doing that.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
So that's kind of the rub that's already happening. Like
that's already happening in the quotes right now. There are
ob trade decisions made, who gets out. We can spell
how much that looks like every day.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
So we're just trying to figure out where a different
way to do the same thing.
Speaker 8 (24:06):
Here.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
But I mean, it's it's it's happening now because of
the way the system is set up, and also the
system brings in money based on these mails. Yeah, there's
a whole bill bond, burger shots, and it comes back
to the dollar, the dollar. There's money involved.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Oh gosh, I haven't heard it.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Okay, okay, sure, what did I say to to him?
Speaker 6 (24:30):
I know, no, for Prop twenty five, if you're in California,
we don't need an algorithm to figure out who needs
to be in jail who's not in jail.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Absolutely, I say now on twenty five as well.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Exactly, I have an agreement.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
If our answers are going to be the same, I
don't know.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
I don't even make the election. These these topics will
be solved on election night, So that'd be one thing.
We'll be able to see some of.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
The some of the people that were on there. You
had one choice of a Republican or Democrats. I didn't
like either one of them, but I always just put
the Democrat because I looked at both up. I'm like
shady and shadier, and I just went with Democrat.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
But you know, the Republicans are flipping to Democrats to
get the votes now, so it's still shady. Yes, I
saw them with a few candidates.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
I saw a commercial this morning with a Republican and
a Democrat and they were doing this commercial together and
they were saying, there's no party, like there's no there's
no lines. We want to work together. It was the
cutest thing I've ever seen and didn't want them to
have a talk show.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Okay, y'all picking one, I'm picking. Let's see.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I don't want to do that.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
How about Prop twenty three because that was on television line.
Speaker 11 (25:37):
What about the that's the dialysis one, that one and
that Ober one too, that's a good one. No one allowed, Okay,
it's Prop twenty two allows Uber app companies to deny
their drivers' rights and protections like pasically works compensation or
unemployment benefits, eliminate safety protections for rod in drivers, and
(26:01):
any liability these wealthy companies have to consumers.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
No on Prop twenty two. It's more money for Uber
they want to make. They wanted to continue to have
the drivers be independent contractors.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
So they're not responsible.
Speaker 12 (26:14):
So they're not responsible. Not only not responsible, but these
guys don't have insurance. They're not making the money that
it used to make where you could sit there and
pay that. It's just like they're just exposed out there.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
And half the time when you're getting your Uber and
it says Nancy, she's twenty six and a Neon Prius
or whatever. You get in the Neon Prius and it's.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
A dude, don't get in the car.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
I'm just saying, you don't. It looks like your picture.
But that's what I'm saying. Then, because they have all
the they're just they're not policing it enough and saying
because they don't care because they're not on the hook.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
I did sixty five thousand miles.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Yeah, he used to be used to dress.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
So I was just explained because so from a smoke
from a business protective and ubersides them swimmings. So it's like,
what responsibility do you have to your employers? Why can't
they be independent? Just playing Devil's advocate, why can't they
be independent? Quack attractors like what.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Well, independent contract is number one. All cost of business
comes back when to the driver. But if you're not
making enough money okay, cover cost of business okay, then
it really puts you to a complete dis you're really
working for free, you're working for yourself, okay.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
So it's like, why why would you be paying Uber
to work for yourself like everything, Like, if you have
an accident, it's on you, you know what I mean,
on your insurance. They're not insured by You have to
prove to Uber that you have your own insurance. It
would be different if Uber was insuring all of their drivers.
And they're not making it safe for women. Again, I
saw Gloria Alridge on They're saying, you know, she's a
(27:45):
woman that always talks about you know, women, you know, harassment,
and I guess it's they don't care. They're not investigating these,
you know, rape and harassment cases. Basically, you're on your
own with Uber. Every time you get into a car,
you get into a car with a stranger, and Uber
doesn't care as long as they get the percentage.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
But weren't you getting the strangers with in the yellow
camp also.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
For that knew, I knew their number, I knew everything
about them. Like, I'm not saying it's safe, I would
even walk.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
But okay, but wait, but the proposition wants us to
vote on whether Uber has to pay for specifically for
the drivers liability.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Should It's just simply a.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Difference between If we say no on this, then everybody
who works for Uber is an employee of Uber, so
Uber will be you know.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Had to pay I like that. Yeah, it's just I
knew when I started sixty sixty five thousand mills. Only
thing Uber has done there was a technology platform that
said we can take all the business from the They
knew it. When I was getting paid, I was getting
the app said that the client was paying three dollars.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
But when I looked in my app, I made nine
dollars on that rod, and they were paying me way
above the amount of the rot. Because what they had
to do was try to get the consumer to believe
that the drivers were soccer moms. They're going to be
actors out of work.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
They had a whole facade, but you go there now
it's just the guys who used to draw for Yellow
calb them. I feel sorry for them all I mean.
Speaker 6 (29:19):
And now if you took all the taxi drivers who
had jobs, all the you know, benefits, now they're working
for you, then you need.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
To treat them like employees, because treat them like independent
contractors is not making their lives any better. They were,
they had a better life when they drove for Yellow
Calf by the hour. Okay, so they're just saying uber,
the gig is up.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
What do you want to vote?
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Please, if you're in California, vote no on Prop twenty two.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
What he said, but I said, thank god it.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Hey get a mask, find something to do, and.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Puppies, bloods and puppy and and go to the mill,
go to the post office and put your ballot at
the post office and dropping rolling boxes on.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
This grods and puppies, red puppies.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Y mm hmmmm.
We are all messed up.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Come on, are you high here for sure?
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Started are you going to get a gate?
Speaker 1 (00:10):
And he's in here a million times I'm like, oh, Lucas,
leave it to Lucas. Hey, guys, we are here. It's
(00:37):
Brandy Glenville. It's uh, Lucas Lucas. I'm just gonna say
it for him and Henana Lancaster. And what are we
doing today for black and white conversations? We don't fucking know.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
We don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
We are a week out from the elections, people, and
we have so many things to discuss, and we're nervous.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Now we're right. We just discussed them all before the
camera came on. Now we're going to do it again.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
We have fifty cent voting for trail.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
What the fuck?
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Well?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
I get it though.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
We were talking about that like motivation. So it's it's money,
like when you make a lot of money, you got
to protect your money. And I get it. But people
are real, you know, read against him, like can we really?
Can we really? Is it because he's black?
Speaker 4 (01:16):
That makes it wrong?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Because well, the Black Lives Matter movement is right now
and I feel like with Trump, I do believe that
he is a racist, and so if I was a
black person, I would not be voting for a racist,
even if I was a millionaire and didn't want to
pay taxes, just like I feel like people. But that's
me a contraence these wretch white men out there and
(01:37):
fifty and that's what I'm saying. Is it all mighty.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Doll Well, I feel like that people. So I feel
like this is just a random topic. But black people
who vote for Trump get harder and it's for the
same reasons. It's all about money, but they get a
harder judgment against her because, you know.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Because of the movement and everything that's going on with
black lives.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
But it's all It does come back to the dollar,
back to the tax discounts and different economic pieces of
Trump's presidency. He is a savvy businessman, so they are
those pieces of it.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
He paid like seven dollars in taxes and made all
of this money, and I paid like more than half
of what I made. It's so crazy to me that
these rich people, they don't agree with anything he says,
but they're so worried about their money in the bank
that they're just going to vote this idiot back in
and look at the state of our of our world
right now, of the United States, we are in the
(02:31):
worst place we have ever been in history that we
know of. I mean, maybe.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Yeah, we have work, I mean as a as a
as a global community, the worst. I mean, it's just
like we got people shooting protesters in Nigeria police you know,
I mean they're super group of police in Nigeria actually
shooting citizens. They turned the lights off and starts shooting.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
He sounds a present. We get people get shot out
here in La every day.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
It's just not about the police what we do. But
I mean, it's just it's just global.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah, it's it's the worst. And I get so angry
when Donald Trump sits there and he's like, I've created
the best economic system ever. Remember looking around seeing homeless
people everywhere going this man is fucking delusional. We might
have had a good year, but right now we are
(03:31):
in the bottoms. The crime is going through the roof
because people can't afford toilet paper.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Well, you know, they say that's actually not true. They
actually said that crimes at an all time low because really, yep,
because people have been in the house, so there is
there's lack of interaction to have the crime happen. So
the rocher stories, the murderers, the rapes, all of those,
it's a category of crimes have all gone down.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Crime crimes. I mean, I think that like when you're
stealing money and you're you know, robbing people and breaking
into car because you don't have any money and you
need to spe like that, I feel like, I mean,
your car.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
I got a back here. We're selling for parts, any
pars to a two thousand and two Mercedes.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
You know who to call, give me a call.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
We get everything.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
But well, yeah, so we have a lot going on today.
We're you know, obviously the vote is going through.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
We haven't received j melon ballots. Go to the election polls.
Every vote is going to count.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
It's going to be closed. I don't think it's going
to be a landslide. I'm very scared. I did when
I voted, I saw that Kanye is on the ballot.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
And Kanye did release a new commercial.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I know the only thing that's doing to us is
taking votes away from Biden. I really believe that. I
just feel like it's it's so narcissistic to do this
when we're in this this situation right now. Just listen.
You know, he's got all the money, he's got all
the fans. Why why do why do this? I just
(05:10):
don't get it. I feel like it's very selfish.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Because Obama called him a clown.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Oh he did. I've never heard of that.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
I've never heard about it. He just did it.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yes, it was it. Yesterday's first.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
I'm talking about backing when Obama was in office he
called Kanye a clown.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
No, but he did. Obama just recently spoken. He was angry. Oh,
you never seen him angry.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Last yesterday we spoke in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
He was.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Like, oh, no, you know he talked about the Chinese
You heard about the Chinese bank account? No, oh, have
you all heard about the Chinese bank account?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I heard about Iran.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Trump has a Chinese bank account that he just got
fifteen million dollars out of he spent He paid like
one hundred and eighty or eighteen thousand dollars in taxes
in China. In China, well, if they siven hundred, be here.
But the problem is you can't. The president of the
United States can't be beholden financially to outside countries overseas.
(06:08):
It's just you can't.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
That is very odd.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
I'm shocked there. I haven't heard about Donald Trump's bank
account in China. It almost sounds like sounds like.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
This is real or not because I haven't heard it,
because I'll be on its trust.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
That's what Obama talked about it yesterday. He said they
would have called me Beijing. What do you call them?
They would have called me Beijing.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Lot than half the things that Trump has gotten away.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Especially because his racial situation, which is his racial situation,
our situation.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
A situation.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Isn't he not black? Buddy?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Well, depends on how you look at because.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Isn't he part middle stern?
Speaker 3 (07:01):
He is not mental East and he's half Kenyon and
half white?
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Is he?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
I didn't, Yes.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Exactly, he's African American.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Well, by the by the one quarter rule, off you're
one drop what is it, one drop one drop off
recan blood?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
You are me and the boys.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
I think it's about five hundred million in the bank
before you're really not black anymore?
Speaker 7 (07:26):
Five hundred million, I mean, really is it has to
do with status between You know that one percent blood
is one percent until you start making money, that you
start getting.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Right, you're a little wider.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
You know that right now, by the.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Way made his career. I don't know when he made
his last rap. He's a rapper, so I don't know
what he means.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
His last He's an entrepreneur now he has Rocky Showtime
the Stars.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Oh, he's in the media. He's trying to sell TV shows,
and and we all know at this table how hard
it is to you know, get along, go along, to
get along, you know. Fifty Yeah, I can't right now.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
I mean, I think Power, that whole TV show puts
us every time it comes on, we go back, we
take three steps back.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Is it rock the rock in that?
Speaker 4 (08:17):
No, I don't watch it.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
You don't about ballers?
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Want power? Is this sick kind of TV show? About
don't who do illegal things?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
And I actually really enjoy Power.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
It was controversial absolutely.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Everybody, like literally everybody. It has been off for years now,
and so like I go through these faces, Jay.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yeah, okay, I'm sure, yeah, all right, it's good. Now
we're not talking about.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
We're talking about power. How the media has control of fifty.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Fifty's protecting his interest fifty is protecting his interests.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
He's taking care of his bag, his big account.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Okay, that's sixty eight percent.
Speaker 8 (09:03):
Means that if you make one hundred dollars in America
and you don't invest it or do anything, you just
want to hoard that money, you got to pay us
sixty eight percent of it.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Otherwise it's never affected. So it's a big game that
they're playing the fifties, trying to reinvent himself.
Speaker 9 (09:22):
He's an instigator. He instigates everything he calls because Floyd
can't read, so he's I mean, he's not his character
to look up to. I don't know who would take
political advice from much less.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I think that act Chelsea Handler was the one that
she called him out, and I think she made it
more of a thing than he did.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
With Chelsea, do you think she's funny?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Nope, I like her America, I don't like each other.
We have a personal situation with the same book agent.
We've had a few fights.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Physically, A wish you know.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I'm just in a humping mood. I've never seen him hump.
He needs to go.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
No humping around helping around to that.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
I mean, but she has her new you see her
her new cot.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Her apology to her her HBO thing. Did you see
it I'm not trying to watch that.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
I tried. It was so not funny.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
No, I know who.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Thinks that she's funny.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Not a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
You ever seen it when you're talking about we gonna
get back to we got to get back to the
well was.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
About fifty, so I was just used to have sex
with him. They were like a couple of well.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
She said he was her favorite ex boyfriend until now.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
She said last night that she she preferred black man,
and she said some stupid like white men don't worry
the beaver grows back or something. She was playing so
many stereotypes. I felt kel I mean, it's a Kelsey
and Trump. So's wrong with this world?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
It is, there's a lot the world is ship right now.
That's what happened to voted hopefully, like I know my
balance in Ryan took it.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Ye, we're talking about the ballot box being set on fire.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
No, I was probably like, but you guys heard about
Russia and I ran interfering. Right. They're they're sending out
emails to people that are Democrats saying we're the good
old boys and we're gonna suck you up if you vote,
if you vote for Biden like threatening, I've.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Heard a fake battlet boxes being posted.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
People about the Supreme Court says, there's no way that
that case is going to be that's right here in
Orange County.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Wow, we're not in Orange County.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Yeah, but these these guys have got these fake boxes
and they want us to put our balance in down
in Orange County.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
But we're not there.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
There are some shady ballot boxes, like one outside of
a church with like a kid.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
People go to the post office, go to the post office,
go to a peop little give it to the mail man.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
But I did, she said.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
She said, here, very man does not speak, but I
will trust him.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Way she said, you would take that?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yeah here, all right, Well you did good. You did good.
I'm proud.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Were in California. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Note though not Orange County. Sherman Oaks, California.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Anything on Paradix? What was all the racist things are
going through my minds want to bring them up. I'm sorry, No,
you're good.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
It's hilarious, but I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
It's just like there's so many things that are going on.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
You're hlirious because well weed number one. But to it's
it's over, not over. But we're going to know soon
enough if we have any president or.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Not or does keep going like this or you know.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I think to put in perspective, no matter what has
an election, we still have so much for it as
a country. Whoever comes in in January, whoever gets elected,
be elected, like the same issues. We're still going to have,
our mass on. The economy is still going to be
required to be recovered, like we are still black lives
will still matter. We still have to fix the schools.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Biden has a huge he's if he gets in, he
has a giant hole to dig out of, like the
worst hole, and only four years to do it. So
I feel like that's almost such a pressure on his
shoulders to how can he even win that? But I
feel like we'd be in a better situation with Biden.
But he's going to take a lot of heat because
getting out of this is going to be it's nearly impossible,
(13:42):
but we're going to do it. It's just gonna take
a lot of time. And I don't think that we're
very patient right.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Now as a country.
Speaker 6 (13:50):
I mean mean here in California, when we were like
a month when you were driving around, was no one else,
no more do that in California.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Because just getting worse. It's just getting worse here too.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
But honestly, don't you think that if Biden wins, Trump
will say no matter what is going to say, Oh,
it's a roost, we have to do it over. We
got to count the ballots. It was a cheat, you know. Yeah,
he is going to resist and make it so difficult
and it's just going to take forever. I don't think
it would be that way the if it was the
other way around. I don't think Biden would do that.
But I feel like Trump will can test it and
(14:25):
we're just going to have a fucking shit shot. I
really like that lipstick.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Amazing.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, we're going to take a break.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
When we come back, we're going to talk about some
of the local measures and props that we think are
most important. Check us out and one.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
All right, you guys, we are back and we want
to talk about a couple of measures that are very important,
and we're going to start with Prop Number twenty five
for number sixteen. Excuse me, okay.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Prop sixteen.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
California is one of non states that has banned a
furntive action as a tool to fight discrimination.
Speaker 10 (15:14):
Prop sixteen would end the band and expand opportunity for all.
So that means that we will start considering race, gender, LGTBQ.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Kind of rights, which right now California is one of nine.
You think about one of nine when you got Mississippish
with that band. A friend of action. So a friend
of action means that due to.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
A person's they take it into consideration, take it into
consideration and.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Everything, which is only fair. Yeah, you know, if you
had to go to public school in South Central compared
to the kid who went to Santa Monica, let's get
the kid in South Central's four point a little bit
more shah because he has so much left and he
score sixteen on the standard dots tests. It has all
the time that we have these outstanding people come out
(16:08):
of what do they say, come out of the sand,
and they just need that one little break and say,
hey I did this. It's twice as hard for me
to get here to this.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I feel like there should be the socioeconomic part, Yes, absolutely,
because it's it's just so difficult. But as far as
gender goes for me, I feel like women have been
fighting so long to have equal rights and now we
want to be taken into consideration. Because we are a chick.
I feel like, yes, as far as you know, helping
underprivileged people and that part. But I don't know about
(16:41):
wanting special rights because I'm a woman. I want to
be treated like a man. I want like I've been
fighting the whole me too thing this whole time, being like, Okay,
we're taking these men down. So I'm kind of split
on that because I do agree with part of it,
but the other part I don't.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
So for me, So it's funny I wrote, I wrote
my grad school essay on diversity, and but but I
think what these states who are banned from action are
missing is the value of diversity. And I think that's
the real It's not which piece of versy came from.
It's the practice of including people and having a diverse
student population, having a diverse workforce, having the benefit of
(17:18):
different perspectives. That's what's really missing in America, having a
diverse people in different spots that up until now people
have access to it. It's a real issue here because
if the Supreme Court had more diversity, if the White
House had more diversity, then a lot of the things
that we're facing now wouldn't be a public in front
of action isn't just taking somebody who was poor and
(17:40):
putting them into a place. It's taking people who are
qualified and giving them the opportunity to be in a
spot with their diversity makes a difference and improves the situation.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Righting to just take all like the you know, let's
say everyone has a four point zero. You don't just
take the rich people exactly one from each area.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
You know what I'm saying, Knowledge that people come from
different backgrounds, different experience can contribute different factors.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
To the exactly and it wouldn't be for our children.
It wouldn't be so like black and white. It would
just be this is the normal. But we're all different,
we all come from places and it's the norm, and
it would probably end racism.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Empathy without empathy, run without empathy.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
If you can't feel for another person without actually being
another person, So like we can't ever have again when
people are talking about women's rights and the whole room
is white men, it's just a ridiculous that we would
be sitting there talking about women's rights, deciding and deciding
what's going to happen for women, and there're no women.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
In the room.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
But this is the I think this is the This
is indicative of the issues in America. So we all
have this perspective like, oh, it's our firma of action,
but what does that really look like. It really looks
like leveling the playing field so that everyone has counted
and everyone is represented. That way, we make better decisions
out of country, better decision And I think people, oh,
it's bad that it favors black people, the women. Well
(19:09):
we don't only have it favors black people. There's a
lot of argument against from reaction. But if you think
about it, really in the top corporations and the Senate
and the Congress and in the places that matter, where
are we right?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
So what do you say, say then you're voting yes
on that? Oh? Absolutely, yeah, just making sure.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
So clear.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
So if you're in California, vot yes on whatever.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Oh, we're talking definitely in La County, Yes on Prop sixteen. Yes,
it's not a state state, California.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
It's kind of Also, I think it's a general conversation
like our phone of action has such a negative stigma
for white people that it comes across as you know,
we're losing out there was that whole the woman in
Texas who went to the Supreme Court about you know
that she lost her opportunity because of our phone of action.
That's not what it is. I think if we, like
we said, we open up the conversation to include the
(20:03):
benefits of diversity, then we have a different conversation.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
I mean, that's right now. They've been arguing over the
affront faction in California for several years.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
So we need to vote yes on sixteen.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Yes, we need to do it.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
If you're in California.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
If you're in California, Yes, Yes sixteen.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Now.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Prop twenty five is that the other one we want
to talk about? Bail? It passed.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
It will end cash bail and subject defendants to racial
profiling by replacing it with racist classes, risk assessments algorithms
to imprison defendants before trial.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
So basically saying, with no more bail than they we'll
start looking at the defenders, and inherently black people can
be profiled and be sent straight back to jail even
though we don't have bail.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I'm confused on that one. I don't even understand what
you just said.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Right now, if you get arrested and they'll look at you,
would say, well, she's a risk or not a risk
or odds here showing up and this that and the other.
So ten thousand, oh, I.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
See, I remember now, and I remember they keep on
playing that we got rapist that was rich and white
got out on jail, and the other guy that was
a non violent crime that couldn't jail. Yeah, he couldn't
afford to And that's the iss.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
So what am I saying?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
So we're saying no, no, no cash bail.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
So there are two actually on the ballot in California
right now about about bail, and it's one about non
violent felonies. But I just wanted to put out the
issues around incarceration and the whole cash bail system is
larger than that because it desparably impacts of Minardi community
because you don't have the money to get out. You're
sitting in jail because you didn't because your kid didn't
(21:45):
go to school for tracy, So you all of the
all of the felonies that have bail attached to them,
you're not going to get out. You're sitting in jail
for time years over a speeding ticket because you couldn't
pay for the wark. So if you don't have the
money if you're in a low income c if you're
property stricken, cash bells aren't ready effective. So there's a
few different issues just around the whole bail system in general.
(22:07):
That should be part of the political crime re form,
which I think they're looking at it now, and it
starts to the ballot. But there's two issues. So one
of the cash bill issue, because if you can't afford
to pay the cash bill, now you're second jail. And
to the and and what Lucas was referring to was
that there's an algorithm. So now now there's some sort
of metric that will be designed to confirm whether or.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Not you should get bailed, so that they type it
all in and then this computer is going to spit
out O bail, no bail please.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
So there's that. And then the other piece is the
whole non violent versus violent cash bil thing, which which
should be allowed. So there's they acknowledge that the cash
bell system isn't working, but now what do we do
about it? Do we take out cash bail for non
violent felons? I say yes, But do we put on
an algorithm that will then determine who else has to
(22:58):
pay cash bill?
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Now?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Get the show us with the algorithm, show us what
the algorithm is dependent on what the stats already, what's
the data behind it?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Said, maybe like prior, if somebody has priors, if somebody
is you know, the third strike situation, possibly, like I
would say, maybe then you're you're not gonna you know,
you might be a bail risk, but I wouldn't. I mean,
obviously it just you can't do that for everyone because.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
It's just notither. So he knows already feel bad. Start.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
So what I'm saying is if Lucas and I both
have no priors, which we do, I went and we're
both standing there right in part of them, and they
decide which one stays and goes.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
But they're already doing that.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
So that's kind of the rub that's already happening. Like
that's already happening in the quotes right now. There are
ob trade decisions made, who gets out. We can spell
how much that looks like every day.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
So we're just trying to figure out where a different
way to do the same thing.
Speaker 8 (24:06):
Here.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
But I mean, it's it's it's happening now because of
the way the system is set up, and also the
system brings in money based on these mails. Yeah, there's
a whole bill bond, burger shots, and it comes back
to the dollar, the dollar. There's money involved.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Oh gosh, I haven't heard it.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Okay, okay, sure, what did I say to to him?
Speaker 6 (24:30):
I know, no, for Prop twenty five, if you're in California,
we don't need an algorithm to figure out who needs
to be in jail who's not in jail.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Absolutely, I say now on twenty five as well.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Exactly, I have an agreement.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
If our answers are going to be the same, I
don't know.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
I don't even make the election. These these topics will
be solved on election night, So that'd be one thing.
We'll be able to see some of.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
The some of the people that were on there. You
had one choice of a Republican or Democrats. I didn't
like either one of them, but I always just put
the Democrat because I looked at both up. I'm like
shady and shadier, and I just went with Democrat.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
But you know, the Republicans are flipping to Democrats to
get the votes now, so it's still shady. Yes, I
saw them with a few candidates.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
I saw a commercial this morning with a Republican and
a Democrat and they were doing this commercial together and
they were saying, there's no party, like there's no there's
no lines. We want to work together. It was the
cutest thing I've ever seen and didn't want them to
have a talk show.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Okay, y'all picking one, I'm picking. Let's see.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I don't want to do that.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
How about Prop twenty three because that was on television line.
Speaker 11 (25:37):
What about the that's the dialysis one, that one and
that Ober one too, that's a good one. No one allowed, Okay,
it's Prop twenty two allows Uber app companies to deny
their drivers' rights and protections like pasically works compensation or
unemployment benefits, eliminate safety protections for rod in drivers, and
(26:01):
any liability these wealthy companies have to consumers.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
No on Prop twenty two. It's more money for Uber
they want to make. They wanted to continue to have
the drivers be independent contractors.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
So they're not responsible.
Speaker 12 (26:14):
So they're not responsible. Not only not responsible, but these
guys don't have insurance. They're not making the money that
it used to make where you could sit there and
pay that. It's just like they're just exposed out there.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
And half the time when you're getting your Uber and
it says Nancy, she's twenty six and a Neon Prius
or whatever. You get in the Neon Prius and it's.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
A dude, don't get in the car.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
I'm just saying, you don't. It looks like your picture.
But that's what I'm saying. Then, because they have all
the they're just they're not policing it enough and saying
because they don't care because they're not on the hook.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
I did sixty five thousand miles.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Yeah, he used to be used to dress.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
So I was just explained because so from a smoke
from a business protective and ubersides them swimmings. So it's like,
what responsibility do you have to your employers? Why can't
they be independent? Just playing Devil's advocate, why can't they
be independent? Quack attractors like what.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Well, independent contract is number one. All cost of business
comes back when to the driver. But if you're not
making enough money okay, cover cost of business okay, then
it really puts you to a complete dis you're really
working for free, you're working for yourself, okay.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
So it's like, why why would you be paying Uber
to work for yourself like everything, Like, if you have
an accident, it's on you, you know what I mean,
on your insurance. They're not insured by You have to
prove to Uber that you have your own insurance. It
would be different if Uber was insuring all of their drivers.
And they're not making it safe for women. Again, I
saw Gloria Alridge on They're saying, you know, she's a
(27:45):
woman that always talks about you know, women, you know, harassment,
and I guess it's they don't care. They're not investigating these,
you know, rape and harassment cases. Basically, you're on your
own with Uber. Every time you get into a car,
you get into a car with a stranger, and Uber
doesn't care as long as they get the percentage.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
But weren't you getting the strangers with in the yellow
camp also.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
For that knew, I knew their number, I knew everything
about them. Like, I'm not saying it's safe, I would
even walk.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
But okay, but wait, but the proposition wants us to
vote on whether Uber has to pay for specifically for
the drivers liability.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Should It's just simply a.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Difference between If we say no on this, then everybody
who works for Uber is an employee of Uber, so
Uber will be you know.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Had to pay I like that. Yeah, it's just I
knew when I started sixty sixty five thousand mills. Only
thing Uber has done there was a technology platform that
said we can take all the business from the They
knew it. When I was getting paid, I was getting
the app said that the client was paying three dollars.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
But when I looked in my app, I made nine
dollars on that rod, and they were paying me way
above the amount of the rot. Because what they had
to do was try to get the consumer to believe
that the drivers were soccer moms. They're going to be
actors out of work.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
They had a whole facade, but you go there now
it's just the guys who used to draw for Yellow
calb them. I feel sorry for them all I mean.
Speaker 6 (29:19):
And now if you took all the taxi drivers who
had jobs, all the you know, benefits, now they're working
for you, then you need.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
To treat them like employees, because treat them like independent
contractors is not making their lives any better. They were,
they had a better life when they drove for Yellow
Calf by the hour. Okay, so they're just saying uber,
the gig is up.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
What do you want to vote?
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Please, if you're in California, vote no on Prop twenty two.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
What he said, but I said, thank god it.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Hey get a mask, find something to do, and.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Puppies, bloods and puppy and and go to the mill,
go to the post office and put your ballot at
the post office and dropping rolling boxes on.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
This grods and puppies, red puppies.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Y mm hmmmm.
