Speaker 1 (01:09):
It's given too many apps are up and it's only
about three. But it's not the capacity that this laptop
can hold. It's about twenty years old.

laptop you had back when we were absolutely and it's
breaking apart. You are breaking apart. Let me tell you
the other day I was editing.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Then I was editing, and while I was editing, maybe
the glitches was coming from the inside.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
And that said, what now, how was it coming from?
It was crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
The glitchers were coming from, not even like the apps
are was using on my computer, but the like the
apps that I was using in a browser. The glitching
on my computer synced with it was like glitching everywhere, emails, everything.
I don't know, but it's it's pretty bad. I ain't
gonna hold you don't know how much long I got, uh,

(02:02):
and so we're gonna keep working with it.

Speaker 2 (02:04):

The longest running usage of a mac Book. I mean
you you got the mac Book.

Speaker 5 (02:11):

on sale for when I lost, not lost, when my
other one, because those are the MacBooks where even the
charger overheats, all right, because.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
The one before that. This is how I know this one.
This one is old.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
The one that I had before that, my father purchased
me and it had a little battery body you could
pop out in exchange. Right, you could purchase like another
one of those, the one I got right now.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
I had. They are.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Price gouging for the uh the charger itself. I paid
what a new MacBook charger cost for this charger because
they're like so unavailable.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah, it's so crazy, it's so crazy.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
But I mean, I knew matt Book is like the
minimum fifteens. So how much did you pay for that charger?

Speaker 6 (03:12):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (03:12):
No, for the charger I'm talking about for their chargers.

Speaker 5 (03:14):
For all the chargers.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
Yeah no, I'm about to say, you know that that
wouldn't have been a good use of resources.

Speaker 5 (03:22):

About it.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
So you'd be doing that my Hatian.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
I think that's my Haitian side, because a lot of
Haitians have a overdose verdo, Like, oh good. There's a
song that I was singing the other day and it
was came it came in by spirits. It's as song
and I was singing it and it was like, said,
time me, that's my regular way singing it.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
But I'm like, that's not right.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
I gotta go sat mean, they always sing like that.
It's like, you can't sing as a Haitian if.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
You don't have overpowering verbado.

Speaker 5 (04:30):
I don't know what you said, but I know that tune.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
You know, geezus, you got it. Church, you in the church.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
You know.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
You know. Folks didn't think I was years ago, but
I was. I was. I was. I've always been the church.
I don't know if.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
There's a choice in the choice, but.

Speaker 5 (04:50):
It is.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
Well, just grabbing hold of all that's happening in the world.
I mean, Trump messing with South Africa, and I'm like,
y'all gonna make me see I thought I was. I
thought I was ethnic because I was Black American, and
and my blood boils when I see the messing with
Black Americans, which they doing extra hardest week Black folks

(05:13):
in general, but specifically Black Americans but then I see
them messing with South Africa, and I'm like, I feel like,
you know, Wakanda forever.

Speaker 5 (05:22):
I feel like, like, you know, we would not have it.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
Oh, I feel like, hold on, now, there's a whole
other level you trying to You trying to mess with
our people all across the.

Speaker 5 (05:31):
Globe on behalf of that, not even South Sea.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
When when we talk about Elon Musk, I don't even
think of him as South African. I think of him
like as a as a as an insect, as a pest,
a virus that spreads because they're not even authentically South African.
They're colonizers to South Africa. So that that's been a
little bit triggering this week. I ain't gonna lie so.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
So what exactly because there's so much that's been going on,
So I haven't gotten the details about exactly how they're
uh the South, how he's South South Americans are trying
to attack Black Americans.

Speaker 5 (06:05):
You say that is no, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
South South Africans.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
Yeah, Trump and Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, they
are going after South Africa so hard, so hard.

Speaker 5 (06:16):
They just kicked.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Out it's South Africa because you know, he claiming that that's.

Speaker 5 (06:21):
What I don't. I don't.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
I don't consider them South that Elon Musk is a
colonizers o G colonizing, Like yeah, like they don't.

Speaker 5 (06:31):
I don't consider them South African.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
I consider them as an invasive species to South Absolutely,
that's what illegal aliens. Yes, yes, invaders, invaders, illegal aliens
South Africa. And because South Africa is pushing back on
you know, they're still pushing back against apartheid, they're reallocating
the land, the land that was stolen from black South

(06:55):
Africans by the Dutch and the by various European factions.
They are, they are what's called expropriation with our conversation,
they're taking the land back and they're giving it back
to South Africans without paying white folks not a dime.
So all the white South Africans are like, oh, it's
not all of them, not all of.

Speaker 5 (07:14):
Them, but a good bit of them. You know, Oh,
we're so oppressed.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
The black man is oppressing us in South Africa.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
So there was a whole video that was and I
want to say it was like a in South Africa.
I really want to say it was South Africa. But
I saw where white people. It was like and this
was actual and factual where white people and the laws.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Had turned in this particular area.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
And I want to say it's somewhere in South Africa
or some I know it's in Africa where white people
had went and colonized the area. But then black people
in power, when they got in power, they kicked white
people out to the curb. They made it so that
I think we covered it, man, We actually did cover
it a few years back on the show. We played
the clip and I can't remember where it was, but

(07:57):
white people were kicked out and the black I believe
black leader became in power again and took back leadership
of the country. And then they took the white people
and pushed them out, and they became unhoused. And we're
living in the former huts that some of the black
folks used to live in the area, and they were

(08:20):
neighbors to some of the black folks that they used
to laugh at or pass up on the street. Now
in the huts, right, they hungry, They trying to go
over to the neighbor house.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
They're like, no, whatever. And then the law became for
all the.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Jobs that that white people have, right now replaced them
and put them and put them first for black people,
so all the black people they will come and work
those jobs.

Speaker 5 (08:44):
I don't remember that one in the text of South Africa.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
Somebody in the chat says that you're probably talking about Zimbabwe.
But the pattern, right, the pattern, that same pattern as present.
One thing I don't understand about South Africa. And I
know some are South African friends will probably laugh at me.

Speaker 5 (09:01):
But I don't understand. How are you a colonizer?

Speaker 4 (09:06):
You come to South Africa, you take everything from black
South Africans, and you still end up with the impoverished
white population, poor white folks over there who want us
to feel sorry for them, But like, how do you
go invade another nation to take what they have and
then you still end up at the bottom of the
totem pole. It's something that blows me away. It's like,
if you were going to be poor, why don't you

(09:27):
just stay where you were? I know it's a generational thing, right,
but it's just hilarious that even in their colonizing of Africa,
there's some still some not so bright white people who
don't realize that this colonization is capitalism all that it
don't work for you, no more to work for nobody else.
And so you come over, you go to South Africa,
and you think that you're superior, and then you still

(09:50):
end up being poor and toothless. I just I don't
get that will stay wherever you came from.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Just poor, just to It's kind of like what's going
on here, people that are coming every day onto social
media to cry about Donald Trump's laws or whatever he's
trying to put in place. And y'all been toothless eight years.
You've been voting for this man, and he ain't never
be no tooth He never provide you.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
With any dentist, can't go to a dentist.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
And here you are just wanting to disrespect folks and
vote in the name of white power. And then he
didn't include you until that white power do Seah, you
weren't there, baby, You were was not included, and now
you won't And then you too, my beloved immigrant, right,

(10:41):
the one that thought that he was excluded because his
likeliness to whiteness.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
You know, you are the good.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Black, or the good immigrant, or the good and then
you realize after your vote, you.

Speaker 5 (10:55):
Just the er you you are.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
You're not even as good as an er you are,
Like you're gonna You're gonna be the one end up
with a mouth full of no rotten teeth and no money,
no social Security, no medicaid, like out on street dying
because of your white supremacy. That's the thing, don't get

(11:19):
me wrong. All of us getting hurt, all of us
getting hurt, like all of our benefits getting cut, all
of our protections are getting gutted. But they're doing it
to us because you know we're black and we are
victims of capitalism. You get this to yourself because you
thought you better than black people.

Speaker 5 (11:40):
That's the thing.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
All across the.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
Globe, how many impoverished white folks looking crazy in the
face right now because you thought you were gonna get
the leg up because of white supremacy.

Speaker 5 (11:48):
And here you are, toothless, no dental.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Toothless, can't get your ozmpic, can't can't get in for
the ones.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
That got diabetes for real.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
And you know, and I was saying, like you're still
an er, because it reminds me of a song by
the old Kanye where he said, you know, even if
you're I forgot what he said, but he then he
it's basically something lavish.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Even if you're X, Y and Z like pulling up
to BT and your coop and da da da da.
He's like, even if all of that, you're still a
nigg in the coop. Yeah, that's what he said.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
You still an n word that I use in my vocabulary.
But he said you steal that in the coup. Basically,
you're gonna still be black. All you guys that thought
that you were going to be excluded or included and
to whatever Donald Trump had plans for. Remember when he
promised you this and that and that, and as simple
as the lowering the price of eggs. Every day I
go to buy some eggs and I don't even like

(12:45):
eggs real, but I got to use them for some
haten meals. And when every day I go and get
eggs and go look for eggs, eggs is ten dollars.
Eggs went from being when Donald Trump got into office,
I saw eggs around five dollars and I thought that
was I, yes, diabolical, And then I seen, you know,
within this first few weeks, baby, they went up to

(13:06):
seven dollars and then eight.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
And the most that I've seen is thirteen.

Speaker 5 (13:12):
Nah, yeah, thirteen dollars stopping how you lying on you
like that.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Sprouts sprouts because they ain't no whole foods by me,
you know, I've been trying to one.

Speaker 5 (13:23):
I'm like, babe, we don't we don't eat eggs.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
No more this for you know, me me not paying
all the attention to the prices of eggs. You know,
and sometimes sometimes you know, you see it happening on Twitter,
but you don't realize it's happening at your grocery store.
So I'm like, I'm seeing everybody complain about the price
of eggs. And then a week went by and I
realized we we got that nary egg in the house,
and I look at my wife.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
She said, you're gonna pay dollars for some eggs. Okay.
Oh so in place of eggs oatmeal that was delicious, unhealthy.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Actually that's what we do because I don't know where
these eggs coming from. Lately, I be feeling like overriage eggs. Okay,
ostrich eggs. And for for countries who eat ostrich eggs,
that's fine because you know every Yeah, it's crazy they
all here eating horse.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Thinking mistake.

Speaker 4 (14:07):
I thought you're about to say horse eggs, I might
say Rebecca, stop horses.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Look, don't get me getting crazy over him.

Speaker 5 (14:22):
Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
There are a couple of things that have happened this threek,
but I want to start with the first one, and.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
The first one is Chuck Schumer.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Chuck Schumer is the oh are we down with opp
Not that opp but the ops?

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Okay, you know, is he the opponent?

Speaker 1 (14:42):
They've always been to me because I ain't never trust
nobody for real. To be true, I ain't never trust
nobody for real. But Chuck Schumer just on the chopping
block because he decided that he was going to vote
right now. For months, we've been hearing about this looming
government shutdown and every day go ahead.

Speaker 5 (15:02):
Then you know what I'm saying. It comes around like
every two months, every.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
Two and to the point where people don't even py
attention to No MO. They don't even mind it. It doesn't
make mainstream media, it does not make the top of
the hour, it does not where it looms so much
that they just meet up and they're like, huh, we
don't want this, we don't want that. Will we don't know,
we don't know. We'll keep meeting, We'll keep meeting. Just kidding,

(15:26):
give it thirty more days, two more months, just like, uh,
just kidding, give it thirty more days. And then now
now they're like, you know what, we want more money
for our defense. We want more money to put for

(15:46):
the military front lines, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns,
And then we want to take away money from some
of our social programs. And even though for people that
you know, percent wage, it's they're saying that it's a low,
you know, low percentage. You know that they'll take away
from other programs that benefit other parts or Americans in

(16:11):
some way, shape or form, and they're going to take
and put more money into their defense programs.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
I think that is preposterous.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Because America right now we're not in a great shape,
not in a good place. And for Chuck Schumer to
side with that, saying that he does not want any
more like he does not want Donald Trump to have
any more power than he already has, so to give
in to make sure that we do not get to
a place of a government shutdown, he had to cast

(16:42):
his vote alongside the Republicans. However, I'm telling you, I've
been hearing about government shutdown for months years. To be honest,
every other day. It used to be something that was
woo woo, and then it became something that was like
another day, another government shutdown. I still got to make
it the work. I still gotta go Phoebe, It's still
got to you know, all of that. AnyWho, let's listen

(17:08):
to what tumor how to.

Speaker 7 (17:09):
Say, publican rejection leads us to a decision, And it's
not really a decision. It's a Hobson's choice. Either proceed
with the bill before us or risk Donald Trump throwing
America into the chaos of a shutdown. This, in my view,

(17:33):
is no choice at all. While the CR bill is
very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for
America that are much much worse. For sure, the Republican
Bill is a terrible option. It is not a clean CR,

(17:56):
it is deeply partisan, It doesn't address far too many
of this country's needs. But I believe allowing Donald Trump
to take even more, even much more power via a
government shutdown is a far worse option. And before I
explain why, let me be clear about one thing. No

(18:20):
one on my side of the is once a government shutdown.
Members who support this CR do not want a government shutdown.
Members who oppose this cr do not want a government shutdown.

Speaker 4 (18:36):
Well, he got his head chopped off because of Democrats.
I like what I see right.

Speaker 5 (18:47):
Now, Rebecca, and.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
I like the fact that there are more people fighting,
and they're fighting harder, and they have a higher expectation
than leadership to stand up and fight again. It's what
Donald Trump is doing. And so when Chuck Schumer, you know,
he started off the week like he was going to
hold the line and then he flipped. It was good
to see everybody from every side, I mean from establishment

(19:15):
Democrats to never Trumpers, to leftists to socialists, to everybody.
It was like, Chuck Schumer, you got to go. So
that was that was It's a good sign that there's
a fight right there's there's there's fight left in these people.

Speaker 5 (19:32):
Some of it I think it's Kabooki theater. I think
some of it is just performance.

Speaker 4 (19:36):
But at the same time, even if they're performing, like
we could listen to a couple of other clips, even
if some of these folks are performing, their performance is unifying.
They're they're they're like, people see you fighting. Even if
you just pretend fighting, it's going to rally. So many
other people to step up to the fight and fight back.
So I really do love the And I don't want
to use the word resistance because they worded that down

(19:58):
so much during the first term of Donald Trump. But
the fight, there's a fight that's happening, and it's unifying people,
and they're standing up against Republicans in a way that
I'm surprised. I'm honestly surprised to see this much pushback
against Chuck Schumer for voting for it.

Speaker 5 (20:18):
We don't have you back at that's what it is yet. Okay,
there you go.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
I'm gonna go ahead while you played this clip, I'm
going to go ahead and restart my computer.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
I give me about five minutes. Then you take it
from here. I'll be right back. Okay, I do it,
all right.

Speaker 8 (20:29):
So I want to tell you why I'm voting against
the Republican funding bill when it comes up for a
vote tomorrow. You deserve to know the stakes here. First
of all, you get this Trump has a plan and
he's implementing it to destroy our economy and our government,
to create a crisis that allows him to hand our
government over to his billionaire friends, and to suspend our democracy.

(20:53):
I wish that weren't true, but it is. The question then,
is this, does the funding bill make it easier or
harder for Trump to implement that plan?

Speaker 5 (21:03):
Now?

Speaker 8 (21:03):
I judge that it makes it easier, and so I
can't support it. The basics here are this. Republicans are
in charge, right they need Democratic votes to pass a
funding bill, but they never negotiated with Democrats. They didn't
even try. They wrote their own partisan bill. They filled
it with all sorts of right wing shit. This isn't

(21:25):
a continuing resolution. It doesn't just continue last year's funding,
even though the press is reporting it that way. It
makes big changes to law, and they're all changes designed
to make it easier for Trump to implement that plan
to destroy our country. For instance, it makes massive cuts
to housing programs, to Social Security, to programs for healthcare

(21:47):
for working families. That paves the way for Musk to
advance his illegal assault on those government services. It gives
Trump brand new spending powers, for instance, the ability to
start new military programs that haven't even been authorized by
Congress at this moment of crisis. That sounds like a

(22:08):
really dangerous idea, and it takes key guard rails off
of presidential spending authority that allows Trump and Musk to
more easily move money from one account to the other. Now, listen,
Trump and Musk are going to keep acting illegally no
matter what this funding bill says. Whether we stop, then

(22:28):
that's going to be up to the courts and up
to our ability to mobilize people all over the country
against their agenda, which is deeply, deeply unpopular. But by
passing a bill that makes their plan easier to implement,
Democrats risk putting a kind of bipartisan veneer of endorsement

(22:50):
on their campaign to give our government to the billionaires
and to destroy the rule of law. And I just
won't be a part of that.

Speaker 5 (22:57):
That's the part right there. Right.

Speaker 4 (22:59):
So it's so many layers of this in terms of
how this is empowering Republicans, particularly Doze to go further
in what they're doing. And so this is a couple
of key things that was said in that clip. I
think it's important. Number One, if you need Democratic votes, negotiate.

(23:20):
Chuck Schumer laid down. He didn't even demand that they
come to the negotiation table. Right, who's concerned about the
appearance of shutting down the government that should not even
be in the consideration. Republicans ran a really quick and
really fast, really dirty campaign against Chuck Schumer, and I

(23:41):
think that intimidated him and his staff. They started to
call it the Schumer shut down, and that caused him
the backpedal. The idea of the government shutting down did
present some opportunities for Donald Trump to execute his agenda anyway,
especially with the furlough of so many federal employees, that
would have given Donald Trump the power and the authority

(24:03):
to make certain moves that he couldn't make otherwise. So
I do get that nuance, and I think it's an
important nuance for us to consider.

Speaker 5 (24:10):
Right But in the bigger scheme.

Speaker 4 (24:12):
Of things, what we have just done, or what Chuck
Schumer and the nine other Democrats who voted for it
in the Senate, what they've done, is that they've empowered
Donald Trump to advance his agenda even that much more so. Particularly,
I'm looking at the way that this continued resolution is
giving Elon Musk and the Department of Government efficiency increased
control over federal spending, right, and it's weakening congressional oversight.

(24:39):
So here we are with the number one problem that
we have in our country right now, which is Doze
having way more authority than they should ever have.

Speaker 5 (24:47):
It should not exist.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
But this continued resolution is what's going to push them
even further to do even more damage. And instead of
even asking to negotiate, Chuck Schumer through the townification again,
I'm gonna I'm going to recite his justification.

Speaker 5 (25:03):
His justification is is.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
If the government shuts down, then this gives Elon Musk
and Donald Trump the opportunity to move their agenda forward
uninhibited in some dangerous ways. Okay, we can understand that
new once so negotiate instead of simply laying down.

Speaker 5 (25:21):
That's the part.

Speaker 4 (25:22):
The fact is that we're in this situation right now
because Democrats never hold the line when they need to
on any issue, from the filibuster to the parliamentarian. Remember
they blamed the parliamentarian in the Biden administration for why
they couldn't get things done, and so this is just
a continuation of the same thing. And it never ceases

(25:43):
to amaze me that there's always a group of Democrats
like John Fetterman, right who who who honestly makes it
it's almost like controlled opposition, Rebecca, there's always gonna be
some Democrats who are going to be there to support
the Republican agenda, because ultimately they're a part of the

(26:06):
Republican agenda. Ultimately, the government continues to move further and
further to the right, damaging the lives of the average American,
giving more power to the elite, more power to billionaires,
and there's always going to be some Democrats there to
co signing.

Speaker 5 (26:20):
You your computer. Your computer started again so fast, I
figured you'd be going for ten minutes.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Oh no, baby. The way I had to get it
out and get it in is it. It's a lot.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
But I do this so many times that I'm gonna
pro at it now. So me and my computer we
go together, real bad. I gotta think we got we
go we gotta think together bad. We go together, real bad.
So but in you I miss what you were saying.
But I did catch the end of it, and you
are very right. You know, before I had to reach

(26:51):
out my computer, you were saying that some people were
coming off performative.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
What's so interesting is that what I'm seeing is a lot.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
Of people who we judge just two three weeks ago
and didn't even judge. Harshley just called out the performative
ness there, or their lack of push, you know, or
things like that. They're now piling on to Chuck Schumer
in this moment to take keat off of them. And
I'm like, baby, I remember you. I remember you at

(27:19):
the State of the Union, and I remember you literally
given same.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Vibes, same vibes, same vibes, right and.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Sunny Holsten at the view, she said, and I can't
remember it verbatim. She said something along the lines of
Democrats basically, a Democrats need to stop playing by the
old like playing by the book, playing by the old rules,
because Republicans don't. They've ripped apart that rule book, so

(27:53):
there's no rules for them.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
They're playing by their own rules.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
And Democrats are still playing by a rule book that
no law exists. It no longer exists, So they need
to stop playing by the rules. That's what she means,
y'all need because that rule book no longer exists.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
Not in twenty twenty five. All of those things and all.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Of those ways to carry yourself have gone out the window.
Y'all be on TikTok morning. The kids, y'all argue. The
girls stay fighting in the White House it's baby. We
don't need to watch Real Housewives of Atlanta, Mary Medicine,
the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Real Housewives of Utah,

(28:37):
real Housewives of.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
All the others. We don't need to do any of them.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
We don't need to watch any reality TV that is scripted,
because what we're watching every day in the White House
is reality TV. How they play things, how they do things.
Republicans do not care about a rule book anymore. They're
going by Project twenty twenty five that part, and Democrats
are still trying to be like on page thirteen. Yeah,

(29:08):
the same rule book that says slavery is still a
thing in some American states, that rape can be a
thing in some American states. Rip it up, destroy it,
start fresh, get some real leadership going on, y'all. Scary

(29:30):
Mary's and y'all the ones that are the same when
it comes to not wanting to remove people from seats
and y'all, so y'all stay there, no leadership, no nothing, y'all.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
Need to shake things up, y'all.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
I mean, I really can't really just sit there and
just point the finger at the Repubs. We know they
ain't nothing, but I don't like performativeness. Y'all mad today,
but you're not gonna be mad tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
It's not enough. It's not enough.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Kendrick Lamar voice, what we got over here?

Speaker 2 (30:06):
What is being here talking about? Oh?

Speaker 5 (30:09):
Who knows? Oh goodness? What clip is this day? But
run let's see what this clown talking about here.

Speaker 4 (30:16):
Okay, we're still talking on the continued resolution, maybe not
turn the music down?

Speaker 9 (30:25):
Ending government shutdown Friday midnight. Democrats for thirty years straight
have said, if there's a shutdown, ethics happened, do you
anticipate direct negotiations yourself with conference Leader of the Democrats, Chuck.

Speaker 10 (30:41):
Humper If they need me, I'm there one hundred percent
right now. It's it's two or three people if they
If it shuts down, it's not the Republican's fault. You know,
we passed a bill where we had an incredible Republican vote.
We only had one negative vote at grandstand. You know,
one grand standard. There's always a grand standard in the lot.

(31:04):
But it was amazing. People were amazed that the Republicans
were able to vote in unison like that, so so strongly.
If there's a shutdown, Even the Democrats admit it'll be
their fault. And I'm hearing a lot of Democrats are
going to vote for it, and I hope they do.
This is an extension, but ultimately we want to vote

(31:25):
for one big beautiful bill where we put the taxes.

Speaker 5 (31:27):
In, we put everything in.

Speaker 10 (31:29):
We're going to have big tax cuts, We're gonna have
tremendous incentives for companies coming into our country and employing
lots of people. It'll be I called it in a
rare moment, one big beautiful bill. That's what I like,
and it seems to be that's where they're heading. It
provides for everything. It's a big beautiful bill and I

(31:50):
hope we can get it approved and that'll be next.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
But beautiful bb I'm just kidding. It's a BBB. Don't
know about it, and we're not talking about it. Better
Business Bureau.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Where he's saying, big beautiful bill because he doesn't know
anything about it. You are soul right, just like the
UH because we're gonna get into the education part because that.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Was just a few days ago too. Just like the Treasury.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
I think the new leader president of the Education Department,
and wow, aging when you are nasty and aging, she
looks ancient. And I hate to say that, but like

(32:31):
this is Vince mcde Vince mcman, McMahon, and he ain't nothing.
All them Republican wrestlers and all the other stuff.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
It's terrible. They they vent, oh Colgan look like he's fried.
He is, how my sister says.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
He is a fry away from a happy meal. Whatever
that means. Whatever that means. Yes, I don't know what
that means, but she says that. Now as you as
you were pointing out, David, there the bill is for fourteen.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
The budget is fourteen separate bills.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
So when he says, when he says one big beautiful bill,
he doesn't know what he's talking about, right, he doesn't.
And when he's saying it's it's a continuation, it's not
a continuation, right, This it's not a continuation, right, it's
an addendum. They're adding to it. They're adding more complexity
to what they can do and get away with.

Speaker 5 (33:24):
Right. And So one thing that we have to adjust
for Rebecca in this is and I.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
Think people really need to get really accustomed to viewing
it this way. Everything that comes out of their mouth
is a lie. Everything that comes out of maga's mouth
is either a distortion or an outright lie, and there's
no other way to put it. So, but the thing
is is that they have such a strong base of

(33:50):
people who want the lie and who repeat the lie,
and they circulate the lie. And so it doesn't really
matter that Donald Trump is life here. Yeah, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 5 (34:02):
All. All that matters is the fact that they can.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
It's a big, beautiful bill.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Yeah, and here are some of the So basically, the
defense spending increase, I want people to be clear about that.
So the bill raises the defense spending by approximately six
billion compared to previous levels, and the specific allocations. The
increase funding for military personnel pay raises, warship construction, and

(34:32):
other defense equipment enhancements. So then there's the social programs.
Some of them will be local transportation safety projects. Right,
So grandma when she wants to hop on her little bus,
let me stop. Because my grandmother got wrestler, so that
was her favorite thing to do on the weekends, hop

(34:54):
on the bus. That's when it was twenty five cents
palm tram. But so those fundings are gonna be reduced
to two billion, and that's gonna impact infrastructure and improvements
for public safety measures. Now I know that's gonna affect Washington,
DC's budget itself, the city's budget, They're gonna face a

(35:17):
one billion dollar cut, and that's going to affect they say,
public service operations within that district because you know, that's
where the White House is and stuff. But that is
how Donald Trump is pulling the I don't even know.
I don't even think he's uh, and I could be
saying this American phase very incorrectly.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
But pulling the wool over your eyes.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
Okay, So basically, I feel like people gonna walk around
and they want to be Stevie Wonder to this stuff. Yes,
because they do not want to face themselves and the
decisions that they've made because of racism, because of whiteness,
because of them wanting to be other superior, that type
of thing they want to function in a white nationalists,

(36:00):
a hitler, a dictatorship, something that makes everything look the
way that they thought they looked. But in reality, you
never looked this way. That you're not the chosen person.
You are not the one that Donald Trump has chosen.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
To be in that number. My brother insist us.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
And now these programs, these cuts, these things are going
to help for things like why are we what's gonna happen?
Should we be worried that y'all still trying to pour
more money after pouring money already into military defense and
warships and all of this, and then take it away
from basic needs of your American people.

Speaker 4 (36:41):
I mean, that's standard, that's par for the course though, right,
That's that's what that's what we that's what America does.
Which makes me feel that this is why you got
ten Democrats to sign off on it, right, because they
actually approve of what's being done, not because they are
fearful of the government shutting down and ooh that will

(37:01):
be bad. Because every shutdown that we've had historically, I'm
trying to think of one that was caused by Democrats.

Speaker 5 (37:08):
I can't.

Speaker 4 (37:09):
Everyone I think of in times past has literally been
caused by Republicans, right, And so not even my fear,
but my hunch is that everything that you listed out right,
the defense contracting spending, right, that is that's the Democratic
Party's bread and butter as well.

Speaker 5 (37:27):
And so you have a faction of the Democrats who
are still.

Speaker 4 (37:30):
Playing by the same rules as if it was twenty
twenty or twenty sixteen or twenty or twenty ten, right,
are twenty twelve? Brother, they're playing by the same set
of rules, thinking that they can still just grease up
the wallets in the hands of defense contractors when we're
dealing with the administration that's not only going to destroy

(37:53):
the he's already destroying the American foreign policy. He's destroying NATO.
But it's gone so far as to forget which nation.
But there's nations who are canceling their contracts with our
defense industry. Right, they're canceling the orders of F sixteen
fighter jets because of Donald Trump. And so how is

(38:13):
it if Democrats are trying to just play their regular
Let's get these ten democrats right, there's ten democrats. If
they're trying to play let's just continue to greeze up
the defense industry. You're still playing by the wrong set
of rules because Donald Trump is destroying the United States
defense industry as we speak. So what is it that
these Democrats are aligning with these ten Democrats?

Speaker 5 (38:34):
What are they really trying to do? Here?

Speaker 4 (38:36):
Are they trying to show us that they are in
bed with Republicans?

Speaker 5 (38:39):
Okay, you know, we believe.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
You the bipartisan sip needs to stop because those little
ten Democrats or whatnot, they're not real democrats. And then
democrats ain't even together enough for us to see what
the order, what is the basic line for Democrats at
this time? They all over the place. They're not they're
not together. It's that's a messy situation to watch you getting.

(39:03):
You're getting not even your constituents telling you what they need.
They're telling you, guys how to move like literally, because
you guys have no clue.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
Everything is about self.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
Everything is literally as long as you guys have security
in your personal lives. But you were placed in position
to fight for the people, not sit up here and
make cutesy videos or pictures and photo op moments. Let
the Republicans do that, because you know why, they literally
have the power right now. You gotta call a thing
a thing? So how are you going to take it back?

(39:34):
You need to fight, You need to create structure, you
need to do all those things. I'm not surprised at
this by partisanship talk. I'm not surprised by that because
they always go there. They always go there when they
start acting very very side eye ish, when they start
acting very you know, suspicious, they start to say by partisanship,

(39:56):
by partisanship. Anytime I've heard a president who was supposed
to be somebody who was democratic or has made a
promise before when they broke that promise because they had
to side with Republicans, they would push that all week
long before they broke the news that they were doing
something real opposition like it was by partisanship. I've heard

(40:17):
our beloved black presidents use it when he dropped something
that we ain't care too much about. I've heard Joe
Biden use it so many different times when they did
things that we didn't care about. I even heard Kamala Harris,
who was our first black South Asian Vice president, utilize
that term when you know, we didn't like things, but

(40:38):
we gotta be real.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
We're gonna need leadership.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
We're gonna need people in place who don't lean towards that.
Because the other side never says by partisanship. They're gonna
say rand, they're gonna say KKK, they're gonna say white
lives stay mattering. They're gonna say calling on African angels
because they believe African angels look like Elon Musk.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
They're going to continue.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
To stand firm on what they believe in white Jesus
with the straight hair.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
And the blue eyes.

Speaker 1 (41:08):
They are going to stand on that. That is the
American way right, no matter what I know. Like to
say it's a melting pot, but even when it was
been a melting pot, these policies, these things that are
in place are what America has been about since its inception.
It's taking from people, stamping their own on it and
saying it belongs to them. So the fight has to

(41:30):
be deeper and stronger than what they're giving right now.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
Performativeness and words in.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
Your damn threads on your Twitter, on your ex, on whatever.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
Platform you have, ain't cutting it.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
Y'all are put there to fight, and y'all, every day
you are going to be the people. And my sister says,
because she's in the ministry, she says, ministry doesn't sleep.
Y'all are the people that should not be getting sleep,
so that your constituents will one day get some damn
good rest some time.

Speaker 4 (42:01):
That part, that part, somebody wanted to know, who are
these ten democrats? These additional ten democrats. I'm gonna put
an image so you could pull it up, David, But
these are the folks because we are we we can't.
So we had ten and I want to contextualize it
for for what happened last week as well. We had

(42:22):
ten Democrats who voted to censure al Green are and
then and.

Speaker 5 (42:30):
That was in the House, right in the House of Representatives.

Speaker 4 (42:33):
And then we had ten who just voted to continue
with the vote for the continued resolution to they voted
for culture.

Speaker 5 (42:43):
These people look.

Speaker 1 (42:45):
Or they like whites, because the ones that did al
Green were white adjacent white and white. Oh no, that's
white white. That's h w h I t e white, okay.
And I said to say, these are the ones we're
gonna see you look at them. The second one, what's
his name? He's always been very opposition at like your boy.

Speaker 5 (43:09):
If you hadn't asked me, I could have said it.

Speaker 4 (43:11):
I know I can't because I can't stand that up here. Federman,
My goodness, John Fetterman, he's the he's the guy who
was a mayor at the time. And he pulled a
shotgun on a Black Lives Matter Actually I don't even
know if they were protesting.

Speaker 5 (43:30):
I think he just put on a black man jogging.

Speaker 4 (43:34):
He put a shotgun and and because John Fetterman talked
a good progressive game. See's there's one thing, my white,
my white progressive friends.

Speaker 11 (43:43):
And then.

Speaker 4 (43:45):
You gotta look beyond people who talk a good progressive
game and look at what they're saying in terms of
race and what they do in terms of race, because
that's gonna be your key indicator. This is a man
who pulled a shotgun on a black man who he
was afraid of end up getting in trouble for it,
but he was. He came in saying all the right
progressive things. At first, he was all for healthcare. First,

(44:07):
it was all you know, all these things, and then
now he's turned out to be the number one. He's
Joe Manchin. They's Joe and Kirsten Cinema all wrapped into
a hoodie short pants.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
Yes, and this is this is where it's very problematic.
I'm like the people that we see if there, have
already showed us who they were, and they still cleared
the room and provided these people's seats to represent constituents
that they look at every single day and say, not you,
not you, not you, not you, but that one the

(44:40):
same ideologies that Republicans hold are the one you I'm
telling you said at the dinner table with these people
and they claim that they're so left or progressive or
centric or whatever the hell is all the.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
Names on the Democratic side.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
I just need somebody that's really going to be about
the people, because at this point, you the right is
about a certain type of people, okay, and the left
has no idea who they're for. They don't even know
who who they're standing next to, what that person's ideologies are.
Yet they're working alongside these people every day, and when

(45:15):
it's time to show up as one, they can't do
it because people like Fetterman has been y'all really let
that happen?

Speaker 2 (45:22):
Huh y'all? Really?

Speaker 1 (45:24):
Yeah, y'all not calling out them people and then forming
the subgroup where the people can really do the work.
Y'all just standing right there pointing fingers at whoever's inside
and just stop it. This is not a reality show.
We gotta got work to do. We got work to do.
And AOC has called these people out time and time again.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
I know you had put up one of her her quotes.

Speaker 11 (45:46):
Yeah, all ten of them should be focused on. So
I'll bring that back up in a second. But it's
worth noting what he said, because he basically said, there's
never a like. He basically gave up all the cards
for like like by defaults he does, he doesn't, he
never cares. He said he will never, ever, ever, ever
ever vote to shut down the government, no matter what
it is, no matter no matter the context. And so yeah,

(46:11):
AOC made a point and said, what if they attached
a national abortion banner? Are you gonna vote to a
to ban abortion?

Speaker 2 (46:19):
Mhm?

Speaker 4 (46:20):
Trash, trash, trash. John Fetterman is trash. He is as
much trash as his wardrobe. He is as much. Oh no, Lord,
forgive me. I was getting ready to mess with him
about his stroke. I'm not gonna do that.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
We're not gonna do that. But somebody in the comments
can do it.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
But see something, No, I gotta thank you for bringing
this photo back up because and I want to say
their name correctly. My Larry's fable said, I'm not no, no, no,
that's not it. Hold on, let me go, because Larry's
fable said, few got a squint to look at that brightness.

Speaker 5 (46:55):
All that reflects the light.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
Is so bright, said right when he saw the black people,
oh yeah, I could see the whites in their eyes
or something like the sort can't even see the whites
in the these people's eyes because they're dead inside.

Speaker 5 (47:09):
Look.

Speaker 4 (47:09):
Look, here's the worst part about it. And there's a
poll I think there was.

Speaker 5 (47:15):
I think it was a.

Speaker 4 (47:17):
Sixty or seventy percent of Democrats supported the Democrats opposing this. Okay,
So the majority of these people's immediate constituents. When I
say media constituents, I mean the people who going to
vote for them in the next elections supported them opposing
the continuing Resolution. So these ten people voted against their

(47:38):
own base, They voted against their own best interests in
terms of politically, So you have to ask yourself, like,
why are they doing this. It can't be out of
so much concern about the functioning of the government, because
we go through this song and dance every year. And
if they were really concerned about it, like someone said
in the common section, there's a loophole that they can
close that will prevent us from having this fight every year.

(47:58):
But sometimes it feels like it's more than once a year,
to be honest with you, it feels like it's every
six months we go through the same exact thing. But
here we are dealing with these ten, and if we
got another image, I'll pull up the ten. But these
ten plus the ten who voted to censure Al Green.

Speaker 5 (48:16):
They have to be stopped. They have to be opposed,
they have to be humiliated. They have to be deposed.

Speaker 1 (48:20):
Please, cause if we're gonna do anything while y'all over
here dressing up and ran your pink, be outside and
hold up signs about the people that are that are
opposition in your group. And then y'all, like I said,
a lot of us, and I can't say us in
a group of people, we might come and there's bad
like rotten apples in it. In order to save the group,

(48:44):
we may that people may still be considered apples, right,
but you can remove yourself to save you and everybody else.
Identify who they are, put them out there, let them rot.
But y'all got to remove yourselves and continue to build
the work, right.

Speaker 2 (48:59):
That's that's what it is. I don't see much of
that happening again.

Speaker 1 (49:06):
These are gonna be the people that are putting rhetoric
online and words online like we just saw with Fetterman.

Speaker 2 (49:13):
They're gonna say that this.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
Is like we're following the rules. America doesn't need any
kind of shutdown. I'm not gonna take away the food
and things for families.

Speaker 3 (49:25):
Hm.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
But it's already being done, beloved, So you're.

Speaker 5 (49:30):
Empowering they're empowering it more.

Speaker 4 (49:33):
This is like, this is like saying, this is like
saying Republicans are already doing bad things, so we're not
going to vote to slow them down, because if we
slow them down, they can do bad things.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
M H.

Speaker 4 (49:45):
What sense does that make? That makes no logical sense
the republic. This is this is literally what Chuck Schuman
was arguing. He's saying that Republicans are doing bad things
to America, but if we vote to slow them down
from doing bad things to America, they're going to be
able to do bad things to America.

Speaker 5 (50:01):
Like you said, Rebecca, they're already.

Speaker 4 (50:03):
Doing it, so it doesn't it's a scam and they
think I think Democrats think we're as dumb as maga.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
What's up with the number ten? But like you know, y'all,
it's gotta be ten of y'all each time. It's giving
y'all already knew about this. It's gonna be ten to
do this. It's gonna be tend to do this. It's
gonna be you guys a gonna be responsible for this.
It's given that. But here are the whites and like
whites and white adjacents and white thinking people who did this.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
And and and no offense. And I always gotta say
this to my white folks who are allies. Love you
mean it.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
But we know the structure that when we say white,
especially in America, there's a colonizer mindset, there's a superiority mindset,
there is a always us and never them mindset. So
these are the people that are that I don't see.
I don't seen Marcy, but she I feel like she
was in the first group two that you that.

Speaker 5 (50:56):
Voted yeah about to say, they look like, don't do.

Speaker 2 (50:59):
That, Marcy looks like bottom row number.

Speaker 4 (51:05):
Four, recculo say that come up. Put back to ten
that voted against. These are the ten that voted against
to voted to censure al Green in the house.

Speaker 5 (51:15):
Yes. Particularly I'm looking at Jared.

Speaker 4 (51:18):
Moscowitch of Florida, because he always has viral videos that
go around of him giving Republicans hell, and this week
he had another viral video that went around and all
of our friends over there and love you, love you
guys over there might as touched and all you guys gouts,
do a great job all that.

Speaker 5 (51:36):
But stop sharing shit from this guy. Excuse me, Lord,
forgive me.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
I gotta preach tomorrow. Share another thing from.

Speaker 4 (51:44):
Jared Moscowitch Mouskowitz, however you pronounce it, because he voted
to censure the one man in the House of Representatives
that stood up to fascism. This guy, all these people
are dead. They're dead to us, They're dead to the movement.
They don't mean us any good. There's nothing that these
ten p people on this screen shot or on this
screen shot. None of these twenty Democrats have no standing

(52:08):
in the party. And anyone who helps them, we're gonna
have to come against you too, because if we don't
hold the line right now, they are going to give
the United States to Donald Trump without any opposition.

Speaker 1 (52:20):
Parker in the chat pointed out this as well, because
there were Democrats that did vote for this, and but
a few of these people who are part of the
tens right, the two tens Angus King, Jean Shaheen and
Maggie Hassan all voted against the fifteen dollars minimum wage
in twenty twenty one. Remember that, as well that was

(52:40):
a fight, and we were so upset at the folks
like what's her name? You mentioned Cinema and then who
have pushed back and and remember the performativeness when they
voted no, and it's like, who, so you really on
that side, miss Cinema.

Speaker 5 (52:56):
Are She came in and did a little curtsy.

Speaker 1 (52:58):
With hello, and it was like, let's be for real, y,
I know your last name is Cinema, but you're not
giving us really much of a movie. Says it's straight
to me, and it's really unfortunate that it's really unfortunate
that these are the people that are representing us in

(53:18):
a time where the revolution does have to be televised,
but not in the way they trying to do it,
like it's it's really ridiculous. And thank you for bringing
that up, Parker, because these people have been a part
of many problems.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
And I'm not.

Speaker 1 (53:29):
Gonna say that there are because there are some of
the black ones too that we love very much that
had to sign things that are unreasonable.

Speaker 2 (53:37):
But having.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
Right now, I sound like this is twenty sixteen, and
I don't want to sound repetitive at this moment, though
y'all not doing enough and y'all sitting here and acting
like these old these old tactics.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
Are going to eat even puncture.

Speaker 1 (54:01):
Any drawAll, any concrete, any anything. Please hang it up
at this point, call the people out in your group
that are the sores, like please do and find new
ways to handle business. Because while y'all fighting, while the
girls is fighting, Okay, y'all, the Republicans alright and did

(54:26):
six six new things in the span of five minutes.

Speaker 2 (54:30):
Then y'all and y'all.

Speaker 1 (54:32):
Just like, I need more grant And it's really embarrassing
to see because I'm like, this is what you guys give.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
Y'all always show up.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
And embarrass us every time y'all come out, every time
something happens, y'all embarrass us. Y'all embarrass us each time
you don't handle things well. I know people don't like
when I when I come from the Democrats, they don't
like it. I know they don't like when I speak
against you know, their favorite leaders or whatever. But the

(55:00):
reason I'm doing this is because I've realized that we
are being conditioned by the right naturally. Again, I've seen
this where they talked about and I talk at conspiracy
theorists and I've probably said this last week too, but
I've seen this where they talked about how they wear
us down so bad, what we feel like, but we

(55:21):
can't say that about them.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
We got to speak well about the Democrats, and we can't.
But we can't.

Speaker 1 (55:27):
If we do that, we're gonna be promoting, you know, division,
and it's already being promoted. We've tried to do it
the Democratic way, We've tried to do it the soft way,
in the Bibarnisan way, and every time we got kicked
to the curb, and the few black people that we

(55:47):
had in leadership they took away from us. And now
we're down to the few, right, our strongest leaders, they're gone.
We watched them disappear in the last election, right, some
of our strongest leaders and were replaced by white people.
That's probably gonna be a part of another number ten
group of ops. So be mindful about what we're doing

(56:14):
and how we're saying it, because on this channel, when
y'all watch it every Saturday and occasionally during the week,
I'm gonna be calling out everybody, don't care who they are.
You already know Republicans, ain't it. But we gotta start
calling out the Democrats who are in it, so we
can focus on the ones who are actually doing the work.
That part that they go ahead then, because then I'm

(56:35):
gonna say this last bit because they get away with
so much because we have.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
We've been conditioned to.

Speaker 1 (56:42):
Take bottom barrel yes, and bottom barrel effort is enough
for us to say, Oh, oh they wore that pink
m they wore that pink they head up that sign.
Oh they got on TikTok and did that little dance.

Speaker 2 (57:02):
They were sitting on CNN and they said, af you.

Speaker 5 (57:10):
We need more, we need more, and we need more fight.
We need people who one.

Speaker 4 (57:18):
We need people who are not financed by a PAK
because there's a strong correlation between those who voted to
censure Al Green and those who voted for the Continuing
Resolution and how much money they got from APAC. Now
it's a correlation. I'm not saying it's causal, but it's correlated.
We need, we need those who are going to not
care about respectability politics. This is a reason I still

(57:40):
like Jasmine Crockett because I do like the fact that
she'd get rowdy with them.

Speaker 5 (57:45):
I do like the fact that.

Speaker 4 (57:46):
She would get into her aa V he African American
vernacular English until and read these people for filth. I
like that for a lot of reasons. One, it just
feels good to hear our native tongue. It just feels
good to hear us talk to them the way we
know how to talk to them. But then too, it's
also a deeply appealing thing for a younger generation, not

(58:07):
to not to like tokenize it or not to minimize it,
but her whole brand, her whole style. Like I've been
I peeped out some of her, her TikTok videos. I'm like, oh,
she gonna she gonna appeal to twenty five year old
twenty year old.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
Yes, it's it's the thirty year olds because even though
we trying to be teachers in all the lawyer now.

Speaker 4 (58:28):
Old vote I'm talking about because she's still But that's important, right,
It's important that you communicate in a way that gets
the attention of all voters, not just the geriatric voters.

Speaker 5 (58:40):
No offense.

Speaker 4 (58:41):
You know, we all getting old, and I pray I
can get to be eighty ninety years old, right, and
you will. But but we're trying to you know, we
in a fight because if you saw that video of
of Sam Seeter over on Jubilee when he was doing
the h.

Speaker 5 (58:57):
He was surrounded by twenty conservatives.

Speaker 4 (58:59):
You see that what MAGA has done so dangerous is
that they've reached and captured a whole new generation of.

Speaker 5 (59:06):
Young folks, of young folks.

Speaker 4 (59:09):
And what we're dealing with is not only a Democratic
party who don't want to fight. We're dealing with a
Democratic party who don't know how to communicate, not even
to middle aged people. They don't even they don't even
talk in a way that communicates and resonates with my
old behind. But they certainly are losing a future generation.
So we need Democrats if it's even gonna be that party.
We need folks who not only gonna fight, who are

(59:29):
gonna understand that they cannot take money from APEC because
you lose your soul, but who also know how to
communicate on a level that fight that makes people want
to see you fight. When I hear Jasmine Crockett talk,
I want to fight. I want to I want to
jump in and do something about what's going on. And
we got we got the wrong leaders in power.

Speaker 1 (59:49):
Absolutely, and do I feel like Jasmon Crockett is great,
but it's not only her. Somebody just mentioned Maxwell Frost.
Love Maxwell Frost too, other people as well, So you know,
I'm I love all of their all of the things,
but I just want to see the hands getting dirty.

(01:00:09):
You see what I'm saying. I just want to see
more in the community. And I know people are like, no,
we don't have to see it. Actually we do because
we have people like them ten that've been sitting down
doing nothing, that been you know, that been taking the
fruits that other people have been growing on they tree.

Speaker 2 (01:00:27):
Right when it's time for these fruits to start falling,
they eating too.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
And it's not for these ten and ten and another
ten that's don't come out and another ten to be
eaten from because they're actually opposition. So yes, I need
to see the work. I need to see y'all out
in communities. I need to see y'all.

Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
If y'all want.

Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
To go by the old playbook, then I'm trying to
see all of that. Go ahead and get into your community.
See what's really necessary. Start like showing what it's changing,
what you're doing, because I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
I can't, I really can't while y'all over here doing
all of this. The reason why the right.

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
Can do TikTok videos and all that because their support
group is so real.

Speaker 2 (01:01:05):
There's support group over there there. They don't even like
each other.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
They'll be fighting, but when it's time to show up,
they show up as an army.

Speaker 2 (01:01:15):
They show up as an army together. Democrats.

Speaker 1 (01:01:19):
They mad at somebody. They'll sit there and be looking
looking crazy. They'll be and it's like, hey, we're, we're, we're.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
We can't.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
We don't have time to fight each other right now.
We need to be fighting them so that we can
save the people. So let me just bring it back
down to there. It's the people. It's the people that
matter the more y'all sitting here and and and worrying about,
like all that you're worrying about, you're missing out on

(01:01:49):
protecting your people.

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
And that's what I want to see more of.

Speaker 5 (01:01:52):
Yeah, yeah, you know. And and again it's.

Speaker 4 (01:01:59):
It is showing me something different though, and in a
positive way. The two things we got. I need you
to hear two points at one time. There's a lot
of unity that's and solidarity that's happening on our side
of the aisle right now, right because of these ten Democrats,

(01:02:22):
Because of those ten Democrats last week because of what
Donald Trump is doing.

Speaker 5 (01:02:26):
Right, there's a lot of people.

Speaker 4 (01:02:28):
Who are like, Okay, we don't agree on a whole lot,
but we agree that we gotta fight and stop this.
The problem is is memory, Rebecca, and you talk about
this all the time.

Speaker 5 (01:02:38):
People start to forget.

Speaker 4 (01:02:40):
And if we start to forget these twenty Democrats, then
they are gonna remain unscathed. They're gonna remain in power,
they're gonna remain influential, and they're gonna be able to
do the same thing to us again when the next
vote counts. And so when we see people actively on
and I'm calling out Midas touch again, I'm calling them

(01:03:03):
out specifically, and I'm trying to think of the ballhead
Ron Philip Kylesk, I can't remember his last name.

Speaker 2 (01:03:09):
I just found out about that group of people. Go ahead, when.

Speaker 4 (01:03:12):
We see you all because of prior standing relationships with
some of these people, Ron Moskowitch, when we start seeing
you all promote them in a positive light, then we
got to start calling out your platform. We have to
start calling out you by name, because we cannot allow
you all to not longer to recycle to what's the

(01:03:36):
word rehabilitate, to rehabilitate these people who have demonstrated to
us in this moment that they are traders. They are
traders to your party because I don't even consider myself
a Democrat. They're traders to the Democratic Party. They are
traders to democracy. They're traders to black people for what
they did to our green So anybody who is going

(01:03:59):
to help us to forget these democrats.

Speaker 5 (01:04:02):
Did this, y'all as much of a problem as anybody else.

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
And the ones that's telling us not to remember.

Speaker 1 (01:04:09):
This is not the time I said we have to
function in remembrance for us to move on. I'm not
saying function and remembrance and stay there. No, as we
move forward, we have to remember why we're moving forward.
Because the way that we were trying to work it out,
and the way we let people slip through the cracks,
and the way we were fighting each other and not
doing what we need to do was not working. And
this is why we are moving forward, or we're moving

(01:04:30):
in a different direction.

Speaker 2 (01:04:32):
This is why.

Speaker 1 (01:04:32):
Because every time we look to the right, the right
got they stuff together.

Speaker 2 (01:04:37):
Even though it's chaos, it's in order for them.

Speaker 1 (01:04:41):
Everybody knows when you say Donald Trump. In the city
that I live in, they stand at attention. You hear me,
Even if they do not agree with their polities or politics.
The one thing that brings them together is that hate
that rights is right, that you know, prejudice, and all

(01:05:02):
those other things that go under the umbrella of Donald
Trump and his hate hatefulness. It's like, we do gotta
do better. And like you said, Ben, we don't.

Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
Call it out.

Speaker 1 (01:05:14):
We're gonna keep on randomly seeing groups of ten. We're
gonna randomly be seeing that. And there is no reason
why it shocks us that they're mostly white each time,
not only because our leaders are mostly white.

Speaker 2 (01:05:31):
That's one.

Speaker 1 (01:05:32):
So when we have people like al Green, but not
that Al Green, Congressman Algreen who graduated from the highest
of seven Hills in Tallahassee at Florida A and M
University Congressman Al Green, when we have him being censured
by people who don't look like him.

Speaker 4 (01:05:49):
When he's when he did the hard thing, the man
that y'all don't want.

Speaker 5 (01:05:54):
To stand up to.

Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
Y'all, come on, fault all be ready.

Speaker 4 (01:05:58):
Yeah, I'm gonna keep that ready for the rest of
It's gonna always stay Johnny on the spot because I
need people to always remember when this black man stood
up to stand up against the white man that white
voters got back into power. It was ten white Democrats
who said we want to censure.

Speaker 1 (01:06:17):
Him every day, and he waved it upon and I
feel like he hit some of the Democrats on the
head too.

Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
He waved it upon the room.

Speaker 1 (01:06:26):
Okay, and like I said, he put and we got
four years, we got we got three point seventy five,
but we got four years of this left. And so
just know we will always remember this for it. So
then keep that picture up because we probably gonna put
it up every every Saturday for folks to stand in
remembrance about why these democrats tamed to move in a

(01:06:49):
different direction. And the person who was willing to start it,
to ignite some kind of flame to give us a
smoke stignal was Congressman Al Green. And with that being said,
there's there's toll again. The people are fighting. But a

(01:07:10):
great producer, David reminded me of two stories. I'm actually
I have a standalone video that I'm going to be
covering with Donald Trump thinking about in which this news
was given to me before it even made mainstream media
before it made media at all.

Speaker 2 (01:07:24):
Someone gave me a tip about this being a thing.

Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
And I said, I can't find any information about it
on the internet, so I can't even put together a video,
but this sounds true, and I put together a video beforehand.
And guess what happened on that day when they said
that this is gonna drop. So somebody knows what's going
on somewhere about Donald Trump's the ideas and things that

(01:07:50):
he says is policy, but it really isn't. It is propaganda.
But he's planning on doing a remix of his musclem
band from twenty seventeen and potentially adding countries like of
course my motherland, my mother's and father's land, Haiti, and Cuba.

(01:08:15):
And I have a standalone video where I'm talking about
this because remember the Muslim Band in twenty seventeen, and
some of y'all again, we have to go back and remembrance,
you know why.

Speaker 2 (01:08:25):
Because things like this happen, and all.

Speaker 1 (01:08:27):
We so quickly forget that that Muslim band was for
like mostly Middle Eastern countries where they just assume people
are Muslim, so they named it the Muslim band because
we knew that's what it was, and they he basically
put that band in place, saying that the people that
come from those countries are a threat to American's Americans lives.

(01:08:52):
And here's my problem. None of that was substantiated, none
of that was ever found to be true true. But
we know that in nine to eleven what happened was
because then there are so many videos that our former
people had deleted, but we covered it so much where
I discussed it, and I talked about how the Muslim

(01:09:12):
band was something that they created because during nine to eleven,
all of this, they made it seem like everyone who
looked Middle Eastern was what part of a terrorist organization.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
Yes, that was a thing.

Speaker 1 (01:09:30):
People didn't want to get on planes with people who
look Middle Eastern. Every time people who were Middle Eastern
were going into airports, they were being pulled to the
side because of what they looked like immediately, how they dressed,
or this prejudiced against them, the stereotypes that were placed
against them.

Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
That's what made the Muslim band.

Speaker 1 (01:09:53):
The fear of that white people had of brown people,
and that's what the Muslim band, That's that's why the
Muslim band became a thing. On top of that now
we're here, and I'm gonna talk about this more in
my video and I can't wait for you guys to
watch it at jobs on tomorrow about this this very subject.
So I won't be before you long about it because

(01:10:13):
I can go on and on, but I want youry
to watch my video.

Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
But the Haitians and the Cubans we have been seeing.

Speaker 1 (01:10:21):
I actually mentioned this, and you know, when we worked
at the Like It or Not one point the original.

Speaker 2 (01:10:29):
I talked about this as well.

Speaker 1 (01:10:30):
Haitians were being attacked where Donald Trump tried to come
back out with the idea of the AIDS conversation for Haitians,
not only that it was a ship whole country. He
tried to come back out with the AIDS conversation in
order for us not to come you know, for a
reason why we shouldn't have came here. And this was
before our president was murdered and things of that sort
or assassinated. This is this man has been already gearing up.

(01:10:53):
And then this year, well not this year, per se.
They started last year, last fall with him and JD
Van with the rumors about Haitians eating cats and dogs
and never cleared up any kind.

Speaker 2 (01:11:04):
Of thing that the woman found her cat in the basement.

Speaker 1 (01:11:07):
But they start up these rumors about Haitian immigrants in
particular so that they can attack another group of people.

Speaker 2 (01:11:12):
The most hated group of immigrants.

Speaker 1 (01:11:16):
Is going to be the black one, the black and
the brown, but black is the one on the bottom,
and the blackest group of immigrants being attacked right now,
being made the face of the bad immigrant.

Speaker 2 (01:11:27):
And might I say, uh, the.

Speaker 1 (01:11:31):
Undesirable because that's what I call them in my video,
the undesirable immigrant. That's the poor, that's the black, that's
the brown, that's my camera.

Speaker 2 (01:11:42):
That is literally what he's.

Speaker 1 (01:11:45):
Doing, the undesirable immigrant, and making it so that it's
a we know it's racist, but making it seem that
they are the ones. They are so dangerous they can't
come to our country. But I promise you there's going
to be there. There's gonna be so many people who
are gonna pack it up and find their way into
Haiti for some reason and probably try to steal a land,

(01:12:07):
try to do whatever. Because it's being done right now
is not being discussed on mainstream media, But this is
what's happening. They get to go there, but we can't
come here. They get to invade other countries for vacation,
for whatever, for business, for this.

Speaker 2 (01:12:20):
For that, but we can't come here for anything.

Speaker 1 (01:12:23):
And here's the point that I'm gonna end with. America
can't function without immigrants. They need immigrants, This country needs immigrants.
Immigrants actually built this land. And I'm talking about the
ones that were forced here, Black immigrants, Black Americans who

(01:12:46):
they want to other every other day, were immigrants. Well,
excuse me, enslaved folks that were forced here and had
to build a life here. The same way Haitian who
were at the boat stop in Haiti. We did the
same thing. And none of those countries would be thriving
without us. I'm telling you right now, Colin, I just

(01:13:07):
couldn't do it, so they had to come and pick
us up. Sorry I didn't get to my camera because
I'm still uning my mouth, but they could.

Speaker 5 (01:13:13):
Trying to interrupt you.

Speaker 4 (01:13:13):
I can give you a chance to go do your
go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, because why why.

Speaker 5 (01:13:19):
You fix your camera? Here?

Speaker 4 (01:13:20):
Here's the here's the irony of that, Rebecca. While the
while they are attacking the black immigrants and the brown immigrants,
and you're right, black immigrants at the bottom of the barrel.
Donald Trump is opening up a lane for white South Africans,
specifically white South Africans, to come and immigrate to the
United States of America.

Speaker 5 (01:13:38):
Now this ain't this is not a revelation.

Speaker 4 (01:13:40):
Everybody knows that we're dealing with the global white supremacist movement, right,
but this lets you know that it has zero to
do about immigration because a lot of those white South
Africanas are are poor, right, They're in povers. It's not
like they're coming over here with great wealth. All the
rich ones already left South Africa. They already hear Peter Till,
David Sachs and uh and uh elon Musk right.

Speaker 5 (01:14:01):
So as they are opening up the door for poor.

Speaker 4 (01:14:04):
White South Africans who are going to be a drain
on the United States of America, they're closing the door
on all the black and brown immigrants. So just so
people can see very clearly that this is a white
supermacist operation, just like black South Africans have called out.

Speaker 5 (01:14:20):
So go ahead, re back of your back.

Speaker 2 (01:14:22):
No, and now that's that's exactly it.

Speaker 1 (01:14:23):
So I'll end with that, and please check out my
video that's dropping on tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:14:27):
Well, I'll be discussing more of this.

Speaker 1 (01:14:29):
But the reason why this isn't even making mainstream media news.
It's just literally something that would trickled onto the news
cycle or trickled onto your timeline. But what's interesting is
if I heard this before it happened, and I knew
what day this news was projected to drop, and it
did drop on that day, that means that this is
not just an idea that Donald Trump hasn't ha said.

(01:14:50):
This is going to be something that becomes a thing.
It's going to be the upgraded version of the travel band,
and it's full of every against brown and black people,
and of course poor people are people who are seeking asylum.

Speaker 2 (01:15:06):
It's going to be made to criminalize them.

Speaker 1 (01:15:09):
That is the word that you guys need to understand
that Donald Trump will be throwing around criminals. We see
the growth of Guantanamo Bay. Where do you think these
people are going to go? It's to criminalize them and
to keep making them. It's a part of the show
that they're giving us. If we criminalize these immigrants enough,
when this band comes into place, it will tie together.

(01:15:29):
These people are criminals, they're thugs, they're dangerous, they're this
and they're that, and we'll see more of these things happening.

Speaker 2 (01:15:39):
And just know that.

Speaker 1 (01:15:43):
Haiti isn't going through anything that a lot of other
countries that have been have been attacked by America in
somewhere going through a lot of the colonizers. And of course,
as many people said in the chat, our at our
audacity to say hell no to the colonizer and to

(01:16:08):
be the first black country to do it. So we've
been paying for that for our whole entire lives. But
let's not forget that in just in nineteen eighties, one
of the prominent lands and the most safe, safest places
to be, the places to vacation, was Haiti.

Speaker 2 (01:16:28):
That was just in the nineteen eighties.

Speaker 1 (01:16:31):
And then Beadyhead Clintons and went over there and got
married and did they thing, and the rest is history.

Speaker 2 (01:16:38):
Now let's move on, because I could just you.

Speaker 1 (01:16:41):
I know how when I talk about the Clinton's, the
way the hairs on my mustache get crazy, all right,
it starts to become a thing. Okay, Now let make
bride situation. Ben, did you hear about.

Speaker 5 (01:16:56):
That McBride past there?

Speaker 2 (01:17:01):
No, I believe the congresswoman McBride. They were to go
ahead and explain it for us. David, I've seen the video.

Speaker 5 (01:17:13):
She was.

Speaker 1 (01:17:15):
And her uh, let's say play the video and we'll
get we'll get.

Speaker 4 (01:17:21):
Listen very closely to what she said. Listen to howse
he immediately responded to, I.

Speaker 6 (01:17:30):
Now recognize the representative from Delaware, mister McBride.

Speaker 11 (01:17:36):
Thank you, madam, Chair Ranking Member Keating also wonderful.

Speaker 5 (01:17:40):
Chairman.

Speaker 12 (01:17:40):
Could you repeat your introduction again, please?

Speaker 5 (01:17:43):
Yes, it's a.

Speaker 3 (01:17:44):
It's a.

Speaker 6 (01:17:46):
We have set the standard on the floor of the
House and I'm simply.

Speaker 2 (01:17:50):
What is that standard? Mister chairman.

Speaker 12 (01:17:54):
Would you repeat what you just said? You introduced a
duly elected representative from the United States of America, please.

Speaker 6 (01:18:01):
I will representative from Delaware, mister McBride.

Speaker 12 (01:18:05):
Mister chairman, you are out of order. Mister chairman, have
you no decency? I mean I have come to know
you a little bit, but this is not decent.

Speaker 5 (01:18:16):
We will continue this.

Speaker 12 (01:18:17):
You will not continue it with me unless you introduce
a duly elected representative the right way.

Speaker 6 (01:18:24):
This hearing is adjourned.

Speaker 1 (01:18:27):
Did not want to did not want to correct, did
not want to say miss miss McBride, So adjourned the
whole meeting. Come on and this is a disrespect that
Republicans will focus on. They focus so much on gender

(01:18:47):
war and culture war and all this other stuff. Well,
you see, and it's successful for them. He can throw
this tantrum and be disrespectful, walk out, adjourn the meeting,
and still live to see another day and see Representative
McBride and say it again.

Speaker 2 (01:19:10):
And nobody's gonna do anything about it.

Speaker 1 (01:19:14):
They could put that effort and everything into helping American people,
but they won't. They like to go ahead in disrespect,
fear monger and spew out hateful things to people that
are like, well, I don't know who's speaking right now,
but the person that was sticking up for them, and
I'm sorry I don't know their name, but I do

(01:19:36):
know that more of that needs to happen as well.
I like, these are the people that we are. I
don't even know a buddy name, but I bet y'all
know it after this.

Speaker 2 (01:19:46):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:19:46):
It's like, these are the moments where people need to
stick up and if we're gonna continue this meeting, correctly
address this representative who was a representative, just like you,
correctly address miss McBride.

Speaker 4 (01:20:01):
But I also love the energy of mis gendering Maga
every time. Every time they do this, it's cleary Nancy mays,
we're gonna refer to you as sir, right every time
you do it. Every time Maga does something you are man,
we're gonna refer to you as madam, Madam chair. I
love what sister McBride did. I love what she did

(01:20:25):
right there.

Speaker 5 (01:20:25):
Also, here's the other thing. There's literally no reason for
us to side with that hatred. None.

Speaker 4 (01:20:40):
I'm thinking of you janke Huger and a Kasparian who've
made their entire justification for opposing transgender rights based on
some ridiculous edge case that nobody even knows the details of.
It's just an excuse. It's just an excuse to pivot
toward the right and to grift from the right. But

(01:21:03):
just logically, morally, ethically, and just by the sheer virtue
of the numbers, there's no reason and just even human decency. Look,
if a grown person makes this decision for their life
and they embrace it and they want to be addressed
as that, that's takes nothing from us to acknowledge them

(01:21:30):
as such. Literally, no skin off of our back. Nothing
they're talking about Oh. The next thing is like, well,
what about trans women and sports? What nineteen of them?

Speaker 5 (01:21:41):
There's nineteen across the country, across the country.

Speaker 4 (01:21:46):
You mean to tell me we're gonna make the entirety
of our political fight right now over nineteen individuals who
are engaged. Not forget about the nuances of the debate
and the nuances of the fight right because you know
what I mean. If you're talking about sports, you talking
about homone replacement. They you know, homo replacement. There's all
kinds of factors that the NCAA needs to take in consideration.

Speaker 5 (01:22:06):
We get you can get into nuances.

Speaker 4 (01:22:08):
I'm talking about the sheer numbers, sheer volume, nineteen nineteen people.
We are going to crash the entirety of the American
democratic experiment because you hate nineteen people that much, because
you want to alienate, and you want to because all
they know all Magano. And it's a good bet. They've
made a really good bet. Here's the bet that MAGA
has made. Maga's made the bet that there are enough

(01:22:30):
people who are fearful of the trans community, are just
outright bigoted towards them, that they can run this gag
over and over and over and over again and get
unlimited mileage out of it, because you're gonna always have
some people who are gonna be like, oh, my goodness,
a transgender human being, what are we gonna do?

Speaker 2 (01:22:51):
Oh no, clutch my pearls. Oh no, it's the end
of the world.

Speaker 4 (01:22:55):
Meanwhile, they're literally spreading measles across Texas.

Speaker 1 (01:23:00):
Wait a minute, sorry, No, I'm so sorry, Ben, it's
it's what I'm reading what our producer is putting on
the screen. So you're talking about the man who the
man who disrespected, who disrespected Miss McBride. Representative McBride is

(01:23:20):
Keith self, and he has been on a tour going
around and a lot of the people, you know, of course,
the Republican people, MAGA, a lot of them have been
saying still misgendering Miss McBride and saying that this is

(01:23:41):
like a biblical thing. So let's go ahead and just
listen to this interview. And I'm sorry to cut you off, Ben,
but because I actually want to hear what this white
thumb has to say.

Speaker 13 (01:24:00):
Why does it matter what do you say to your
Democrat colleague? There the ranking member who starts raising his
voice threatens to walk out of the proceeding because you
referred to a man as mister. What do you say
to those people who say it is disrespectful for you
to call a man who thinks he's a woman mister.

Speaker 6 (01:24:18):
Well, Michael, I'm a retired Green Beret. I'm not even
sure what all the fuss is about. I mean, he
is allowed to live his life. In fact, I spent
twenty five years on active duty defending his right to
live his life as.

Speaker 5 (01:24:32):
He chooses the mission.

Speaker 6 (01:24:34):
I don't have to participate in his fantasy, so I have.
I am under no obligation to participate in something that
he chooses to portray himself.

Speaker 1 (01:24:44):
As they're using all of the misgendering words on purpose.
I've never heard somebody he himself in what.

Speaker 5 (01:24:53):
It's a game to them. See this is again again.

Speaker 4 (01:24:55):
This has nothing this, this has nothing to do with
the merits of the debate at all whatsoever. The cruelty
is the point here, right, because on the merits of
the debate, you're gonna find as you dig into the
actual data, the actual debate, you'll realize, oh my god,
Republicans lie so much. They lie so much. So it
has nothing to do with that because they can't argue

(01:25:16):
based on that. It's about appealing to humanity's cruelty, and
there's going to be so many people who fall in
line with it. And you know, I'm thinking in my head,
there's a lot of black folks who fall into line
with this foolishness too, right. They look at this and say, oh, yeah, nah, yeah,
that's definitely a man, and then they buy into the
entire It's kind of like you mentioned sometimes when we

(01:25:39):
talk about immigration and how it hurts some of your
you know, Haitian folks that you know, but then they.

Speaker 2 (01:25:45):
Turn around and buy into the misogyny of that same group.

Speaker 4 (01:25:48):
It's like, we see how easy it is for people
to start voting and acting against their own best interests
because they agree with the bigotry.

Speaker 5 (01:25:57):
And magas know that.

Speaker 1 (01:26:00):
How we got in the name of the the representative
who were sticking up for mister Bride. I really would
love to say more of his name instead of this
other guy, Keith Self, because now I know Keith Self
was actually the loser who got up and or he's
what's so funny is Representative Keith Self that woman because

(01:26:24):
acting like a messy raw.

Speaker 2 (01:26:26):
Keith South is the one that said the meeting.

Speaker 1 (01:26:29):
Was a germ because it was sticking ten toes down
on a mischief. Representative Bill Keating, that is the person
that I want to give the you know, praises to
shout out to you for doing the hard work. I
like to see more of that because he ain't no
no camera was on him and still did what needed
to be done. You understand me, because this is somebody

(01:26:49):
that you know is gonna hold down the line, as
you've been saying, Ben, hold down the line even when
nobody's watching, because this is what this person actually believes
on a regular sunny, gloomy, snowy, sleepful day, fighting for
the rights and protecting people, even the people in his group.

Speaker 2 (01:27:10):
You're not gonna respect nothing.

Speaker 5 (01:27:13):
It takes nothing out for you, It takes nothing away
from you. It doesn't position you in it. It's not.

Speaker 4 (01:27:18):
All it is is a consideration. If somebody tell me
their pronouns, are they them? That's how I'm gonna refer
to them. And I'm gonna do it as a matter
of discipline, because I want to discipline the kind of
respect that I could show another human being. These other
these other maggots are just evil. They're evil and they

(01:27:43):
get joy out of it. That clip that they just played,
uh that David just played of the congress Person with
Matthew Knowles. I know Matthew Knowles from from the Daily
Wire who had a who had a gay sex scene
in one of his movies.

Speaker 2 (01:27:57):
Right, So yeah, this guy, he's a fail actor.

Speaker 4 (01:28:01):
One of his only scenes he's known for us because
he was in bed with another man in that scene.
But now he's making a whole big deal about the
transgendent community.

Speaker 2 (01:28:09):
Yeah, they got these.

Speaker 1 (01:28:10):
Secrets and they got these lives, and they got all
of this, and then they think that they're born against
somebody and it's like.

Speaker 2 (01:28:16):
No, Michael Knowles, Yes, right, what are you talking about, sir?
Like you are exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:28:24):
I'm pretty sure you wish to be as open and
living freely as Representative McBride.

Speaker 2 (01:28:33):
The least.

Speaker 1 (01:28:36):
The least Keith, who looks like a corpse, could have said, yeah,
congress person, congress representative or what. There's so many other
if you just don't want to, there are so many.
This person is still a representative, as Bill Keating said.
As Representative Bill Keating said, this is still a representative

(01:28:59):
and should be respected as such.

Speaker 2 (01:29:03):
So yes, it is all project projection, Tyler.

Speaker 1 (01:29:10):
It just really it really wanted. It made me want.
I don't I didn't think I was gonna get that.
I've seen the video and I had to put it away.
And then as we watch it just now and then
we watched the interview, baby, it was like meet me somewhere,
like for real, because if you really want to like,
that is disrespect and you can disrespect somebody.

Speaker 2 (01:29:30):
That has the same rink as you.

Speaker 1 (01:29:33):
Yeah, and you're mad about it, and it's because somebody
and somebody got into the White Boys Club and you're
so mad about it because it's the people that you
hate so much and you didn't think there was gonna
be a day or somebody that you guys have always
oppressed or whatever would be a part of the club

(01:29:54):
and now be a part of making the changes that
got them here, and you so mad about it.

Speaker 2 (01:30:01):
Go ahead, man.

Speaker 4 (01:30:02):
One of the reasons, it's because it's a never ending
Bigotry is a never ending cesspool.

Speaker 5 (01:30:14):
You can you're not, it always keeps giving.

Speaker 4 (01:30:18):
Once you start down that path of hatred and cruelty,
it spreads like cancer and it infects everybody potentially, and
you have to actively catch yourself. I had to actively
catch myself in my late twenties when I started when
because I haven't always been pro LGBTQ right.

Speaker 2 (01:30:40):
Sky and.

Speaker 4 (01:30:42):
Matter of fact, Beckam, remember you, me and and some
of the crew. We used to get into it when
I started like you ain't always been pro No, that was.

Speaker 5 (01:30:52):
We're doing better at our old age.

Speaker 2 (01:30:54):
Absolutely. I say this all the time. If people would
go back to my tweets from when I was a little.

Speaker 1 (01:30:59):
Girl on the the hill right at FAM just young
freshmen whatever. There was a Haitian boy that used to
get attacked a lot in school, and I began to
feel really really bad for the Taitian boy.

Speaker 2 (01:31:10):
They called him Buddy with the heels.

Speaker 1 (01:31:12):
He was Haitian and he was gay, and I believe
there was no term at the time that he could
identify with.

Speaker 2 (01:31:19):
And he would get beat up all the time because.

Speaker 1 (01:31:24):
He wore heels and he wore them better than a
lot of us, okay, and he got beat up so much.
But on Twitter they would post him bloody like black
and blue eyes all the stuff. And because especially in
our culture, it was to dismiss this person. And that
was one of the times I began to just look
and say, like, this person is who they are, there's

(01:31:45):
no reason that it should result in abuse.

Speaker 2 (01:31:49):
They wouldn't even let him in a.

Speaker 1 (01:31:51):
Part of our group at the time, which was the
Haitian Culture Club, and then he was one of the
leaders in the Haitian Culture Club that I was a
part of as well.

Speaker 2 (01:31:59):
But it was just so much mess. But before that.

Speaker 1 (01:32:02):
My thought process which was taught to me, the thought
process which was taught to me.

Speaker 2 (01:32:08):
In my church. You know, again, I'm Haitian, so there's that.

Speaker 1 (01:32:11):
There is a lot of anti lgbt q I a
rhetoric and things all of that. The things that were
taught to me were things that I tried to put
on people, and I got checked with real life experience.
And again when I even got into politics, there are

(01:32:34):
lots of things I had to unlearn, y'all, and over
a decade and I had to unlearn them because you're taught,
even things in politics as a child with no knowledge
or as somebody with this or somebody you literally taught
things that make you see it from this little view,
and the moment that you remove them, you can actually
see everything and the people that you were thought was

(01:32:56):
most respectful were the ones that had their hands in
oppressing this group of people, taking away from this group
of people all of those things. And it forced me
to change how I view people and treat people, even
though I want somebody who would bully or fight, but
my thought process on it, I had to fix that too,
because that was a part of the problem.

Speaker 2 (01:33:19):
That was a part of the problem for me.

Speaker 5 (01:33:21):
It was.

Speaker 4 (01:33:25):
It was it was me asking myself, what type of
human I'm going to be?

Speaker 5 (01:33:30):
Right? Am I am? I? Because my as and this
is the craziest thing.

Speaker 4 (01:33:34):
As much as I grew up in church, my two
of my my spiritual fathers in the ministry, my physical
dad Percy Dixon, who's gone well about actually both of
them going, and Lance Cheney of Boyton Beach.

Speaker 7 (01:33:48):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:33:49):
Neither one of them exhibited homophobia in any form.

Speaker 5 (01:33:57):
So I'm like, where the hell did I get it?

Speaker 4 (01:34:00):
So, I mean, obviously it was like maybe high school
and you know school.

Speaker 5 (01:34:05):
When I'm thinking about it, I ain't never. My dad
ain't never.

Speaker 4 (01:34:07):
In all the sermons when he preached Sodom and Gamore,
he preached don't look back. He preached about Lot's wife
like if you if God has brought you out of something.
Don't look back. He ain't preached about the gay sex
and all that kind of stuff, because scripturally is not
even really there.

Speaker 5 (01:34:21):
That's a whole nother conversation.

Speaker 4 (01:34:23):
Lance Cheney in Point Beach one thing that he used
to do, and I didn't like it.

Speaker 2 (01:34:26):
I didn't like it at the time.

Speaker 5 (01:34:28):
He was always ecumenical.

Speaker 4 (01:34:30):
We always had at least three times a year, we
had services with a Jewish synagogue, a Muslim temple, and
a gay congregation. We had a gay minister who used
to get into the pulpit and preach sermons at our
Missionary Baptist or Black church in public.

Speaker 5 (01:34:52):
And at the time, I was like, what's going on here? Why?
Why are we doing this?

Speaker 4 (01:34:56):
Because I was homophobic, And so I slowed down and
my late twenties and I really thought about it because
had I used to have visceral reactions to it, and
I started, I'm like, wait a minute, I'm starting to
remind myself of the same people who I talk about
who had that visceral reaction to blackness, And so I

(01:35:17):
had a slow I was like, wait, a man, now,
hold on, hold on, hold on, what kind of human
am I going to be And it was that when
I asked myself that question. You know, I actually went
through a process of actually sitting and listening. And I
still to this day apologize to two friends who are
who are who are gay, because I actually i'm like
I called them, I said, hey, can we talk? And

(01:35:39):
I and I feel like I've you know, it's kind
of like you get tired of having to explained white
supremacy to people. I know they were so tired of
having explained their life to anybody, But here I was.
I asked, and I sat down and had conversations with
them when we discussed it and answer question all that
kind of stuff, and then I just kind of started realizing, Wow,
I have no logical reason to have this this bigotry

(01:36:02):
towards them and that and and in that way I
started to grow and move away from that. And then
the more I moved away from that, the more I
realized I literally had no justification. I had no biblical
justification because the way they wrote the story in the
Bible is actually wrong, the way they present it and
the way they talk about the way they teach it

(01:36:23):
and preach it. The true sin of Sodom Gamoor wasn't
same sex attraction?

Speaker 5 (01:36:29):
Right?

Speaker 4 (01:36:29):
Ezekiel talks about what the true sin of sod and
Gamora was, which was their their their I love the phrasing.
The lack of hospitality is one of the things, right,
the cruelty that was Insidom and Gamora and the idle
daughters and sons of of Sodom and Gamora. Right, the
true sin of Sodom and Gamora was the gang rape.
That's what that that see? And when I mess up

(01:36:51):
people all the time when I teach this, I'm like,
let me ask you this question if because if your
if your opposition to same sex marriage and its attraction
and all that kind of stuff is based in side
of me Gamoor, You've got to tell me this, what
is it? Would all of Sodom and Gamore where that
story have been okay? If the men in the city
were just wanted to rape a woman, would it have

(01:37:12):
been okay because they came after they thought then would
it have Would everything have been okay because they would
have been attracted to a woman and they wanted to
mob rape a woman.

Speaker 5 (01:37:22):
Because that's what the story is about.

Speaker 4 (01:37:24):
And most people, when you think about it, you saw
down I'm like, wait a minute, hold on, hold on,
what are we saying that it would have been okay
for this story. It would have been okay religiously for
them to have this violent mob going around raping women.
And then there's unfortunately, there's some Christian nationalists who to
today say yes, they believe that, they believe it. So

(01:37:44):
even if you're standing on religious principles, you're still standing
wrong on it because.

Speaker 2 (01:37:49):
The storyline is wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:37:51):
For years and years, I went back and went through
it too, and I'm like, there are other places in
the Bible of y'all ain't even touching, which probably would
be a better place for y'all if y'all want to
do that, But we don't even go buy some of
the other stuff. Like it's not even about Old Testament
New Testaments. I think that people messed up a lot
of the things. That's where we gotta come in and
talk about that. People messed up a lot of the

(01:38:15):
stuff we put hate out there. We put because of
our division, because of all this stuff. We have all
this other stuff in the land, But we try to
act like, oh no, this is the only thing that
God wanted. But baby, you shacking up.

Speaker 2 (01:38:26):
Come on you got by? How many kids out the
way alive? You? You over here? It is are you?
How many works would you have? How many wait?

Speaker 5 (01:38:36):
Wait, wait look go go war more for go walmore fuller?
How many have your priests have molested children?

Speaker 4 (01:38:41):
How many of your deacons have had affairs with other
women in the touch? How many of your youth passors
have touched little kids? Right, let's if we get really
down to nitty gritted, there's not a day that goes
by in this country where there are not preachers who
preach against homosexuality who are being a rested for molesting children.

Speaker 5 (01:39:03):
Come on, it don't Something ain't right here, Something don't match.

Speaker 1 (01:39:06):
Up, and and and there's not enough hate for those
people for me, not so much hate for protect them.
And I'm like, you don't have to agree. This is
something that people don't like to hear. You don't have
to agree with somebody's lifestyle. You don't have to be
in their life, you don't have to mention them, you
don't have to show up to their stuff, you don't
have to do anything. Let that person live and let
live and now all the things they got nothing to

(01:39:28):
do with you. There is no reason for you to
go in an attack or do anything. This person who
was working alongside you at your job got that job
fair and twere this representative who was elected to represent,
just like you have been elected to represent, should be
given the same respect.

Speaker 2 (01:39:46):
You've done nothing with your.

Speaker 1 (01:39:47):
Time, but make a viral moment right now? Who gave
a damn if you were a Green Beret? You embarrass
your country.

Speaker 5 (01:39:54):
Listen, let me tell you something.

Speaker 4 (01:39:55):
There's a good chance if you google any of these
senators who got something to say about it, you're gonna
find a sexual abuse scandal in their background. Now, I
haven't done it for this guy, this Green Bereat guy.
I haven't done it for him yet, but it hasn't
failed me yet. Every time I see somebody complaining about
the LGBT community, I just google said, I google their
name with sex scandal, and something always comes up. Y'all

(01:40:17):
cannot tell me that that there is that they have
any moral standing to even be in this conversation. MAGA
has no moral standing to accuse, to condemn, or to
oppress any group, especially not the lgbtqu I a community,
especially when you consider how many people MAGA, from the
president down have sexually assaulted.

Speaker 1 (01:40:40):
M the president of down the president literally and you know,
this is why we're gonna like even Elon Musk's dealing
with his own situation at home. You're so anti this.
And news has come out that he was very particular
about as IVF to make sure that his children allegedly

(01:41:02):
would not be part of the LGBTQUI A plus community
or look a certain kind of way. He was very
you know, involved in his IVF journey for those particular
things which are very strange. And then ends up with
a daughter, had a son transitioned into a daughter. Here's
your life. You have a daughter now and has since.

(01:41:24):
You know, they haven't a strange relationship. But those are
the things the people that you I hate the most
when it comes to your door. Will you continue to
hate your own child? Will you continue to like Will
you continue to say that this person needs to be
killed or that God doesn't love them?

Speaker 2 (01:41:39):
I am somebody who doesn't believe that.

Speaker 1 (01:41:41):
I believe that the love that God has is reserved
for everybody on earth. If y'all can say it's the
reserve for the murderer who's doing God knows how much
more time, why can't it be for this person who's
a part of this ELBTQ plus community, or if it's
reserved for just the white person, it's definitely for black
folks to the love of God is not what they're

(01:42:03):
trying to make it be where it's just coming from
white Jesus.

Speaker 2 (01:42:07):
I'm sorry, it's not everybody.

Speaker 1 (01:42:09):
And that's what makes them mad, that it's that love
or the Jesus or whatever that they've been trying to
reserve just for them is actually not just for them.

Speaker 2 (01:42:17):
They mad about it. Anyhow, we're at the end of
the show.

Speaker 1 (01:42:22):
One thing I know that while the rights and Republicans
and some of these leaders who are also a part
of the democratic group of people want to exclude you
here unlike it or not, we won't exclude you. We'll
call out your family members of them, but we're not
going to exclude you. You know, everybody gets loved over here.
You'll get preached on, you'll get loved on, you will

(01:42:45):
get dealt with all over here in one but the
love that we give and we make sure that we
pour out on this show is for everybody.

Speaker 2 (01:42:53):
It's for everybody.

Speaker 1 (01:42:55):
And with that being said, we love you guys who
gave the super chats, and we're gonna read them before
we do get to the super chats.

Speaker 2 (01:43:02):
Our producer has been trying to do this for weeks.
He healed. Now his neck work a little better. So
here he look at you. I've not even seen you.
Geez oh, look at David. This is our producer. Guys,
I'm alive.

Speaker 1 (01:43:16):
Yes, he is white. If I don't know, if I
didn't know, we might be a real black show. But
our producer is white, and this is David. He's on screen.
This is an exclusive moment. So David talk to the people,
let them know what's going on.

Speaker 11 (01:43:30):
So yeah, I promised an update a couple of times,
mostly because our audience, our patrons supported and threw in
some extra for me where they could, And so I
wanted to make sure that it wasn't you know.

Speaker 2 (01:43:42):
That you knew it was true.

Speaker 11 (01:43:44):
So I have evidence, although it's not the most graphic,
because you know, I wants to see that back in
back in October, I got into a motorcycle accident and
it could have been a lot worse, but it was
bad enough. I fractured my X like a small fracture.

Speaker 1 (01:44:01):
I feel like you need testimony music like then the
organism in the back, the time for the people to
come up and give their testimony, and this is this
is our producers David sorry, go ahead.

Speaker 11 (01:44:14):
Yeah, no, no, no, it's amazing what a small fracture can do.
But what just like like when you bring up when
you bring up the scan, you can't even they couldn't
even show me the fracture they need and and and
it's amazing. Well, I mean this is it's not it
wasn't just a fracture. I had to get stitches in
my lip because I bit down on my lip when
I fell and got got some scuffs otherwise, and I

(01:44:38):
think there was actually a broken rib that that they
didn't know about that I felt afterwards. The neck was
the worst part of it. It's when you lose something,
it's crazy, like you you you only realize that then,
like how much you use something. So but after three
I was home down for about three months, and uh,
it was challenging. But I'm alive and for the most

(01:44:58):
you think it, I'm There's some residual pain and discomfort,
but I'm hoping that that goes away. But I'm alive,
and I wanted to just thank everyone for their support
and their thoughts. Still not working right now, look looking
to try to get back on my feet in that area.
So support still does help, but but I wanted to

(01:45:19):
thank everyone who gave before. And uh, you know that
I wasn't making anything up.

Speaker 1 (01:45:25):
And you were, you were, and we.

Speaker 2 (01:45:28):
Were riding for you.

Speaker 1 (01:45:29):
Look, and I'm the amen corner while the organ is
playing in the background because I love it. But let
me tell you to take you out, David. They tried
to take you out, brother David, and the Lord said no.
And you you look at look at put up that
picture again, because.

Speaker 2 (01:45:45):
Let's show them where you were and where you are today.

Speaker 1 (01:45:49):
And I just want the Chat to say amen, because
look at this.

Speaker 2 (01:45:53):
I didn't even know you were looking like that. I
didn't even know you grew some hair. That's that was rough.
And now we got back moving your head.

Speaker 1 (01:46:01):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:46:02):
Then that's enough for us to say amen.

Speaker 1 (01:46:04):
And then I'm glad that the Chat was able to
help you, and we're so glad to have you back,
and you were working with us through that time, and
I just want the Chat to keep it alive.

Speaker 11 (01:46:16):
I did, I almost forgot, but I also wanted to
give a small plug they didn't ask for it. But
when I got into the accident, I actually I couldn't
get up. I don't I don't know why. Like I
think I was stuck between my bike and the car
that I hit. The car was an abandoned car, like
someone left the car on a bridge the right lane,
and when I tried to switch lanes, I didn't have

(01:46:39):
time to stop. But the there was there was a
guy that stopped his car. Apparently he's a motorcycle rider too,
so I guess he just like saw it and connected.
But he helped me up. He got me off the bridge,
he rode he rode the motorcycle off the bridge called
the ambulance, got me on me. So you know he
without that, I you know, I don't know how it

(01:47:00):
would have all and me in similar work. He it's ironic,
but he was why because I have to bring this
deucing and talking at the same time. Now I know
what Ben feels like.

Speaker 2 (01:47:18):
Uh, there we go.

Speaker 11 (01:47:20):
He actually started a footwear line called Agency Footwear and
teamed up with Harry Belafonte's organization basically making footwear design
for social justice and protests and messaging. So like the Sneakers,
basically have like removable patches and different designs that kind
of go in line with with movement building and so

(01:47:44):
what he didn't ask for it. I told him that
like as he did, he didn't want me to give
him anything or or or send anything for thank you.
So I was like, the least I can do is
use it that we have to plug what he's doing.
So it's it's Agency footwear dot com sneakers are a
little expense holiday.

Speaker 2 (01:48:02):
But yeah, somebody got it.

Speaker 1 (01:48:07):
Somebody if they got it for Jordan's they got it
for Agency footwear, that's all right to say that.

Speaker 2 (01:48:13):
And they Q too. I like them.

Speaker 1 (01:48:14):
And you see how he saw you, brother David. Uh
when you didn't see what was in front of you,
but somebody was watching it. And when you thought that
you were down and out and nobody was seeing you,
this person came and was a motorcycle rider as well,
so he knew what to do and jump into action.

Speaker 2 (01:48:35):
But on top of that, he was in the same work.
Come on, somebody, that's you, my brother, So there was
a connection.

Speaker 1 (01:48:45):
And anytime you feel down and out and you feel
like nobody has you and you're hurt, and then this
is it for you? There's somebody there, you go right there.

Speaker 2 (01:48:56):
I just love all of the look.

Speaker 1 (01:48:58):
This was a great testimony for you to come out
and say I didn't even know those details, and I'm
so glad that you actually have healed because I.

Speaker 2 (01:49:05):
Didn't even know.

Speaker 1 (01:49:06):
I knew that it was bad when you told us
about it, which was a scary thing when you even
told us about it.

Speaker 2 (01:49:10):
But seeing you like that.

Speaker 1 (01:49:12):
And you still showing up here for us in that moment,
God bless you, man, Like, thank you David walking with
us and saying solidarity and shout out to the person
who saved your life.

Speaker 5 (01:49:22):
Glad. We are glad. You're doing so much better.

Speaker 4 (01:49:24):
We are glad than this right here, because boy, man,
I didn't hurt, and your.

Speaker 11 (01:49:31):
Hair is all dark, and I mean I wasn't even
supposed to take it off, but I took it off
because I had to shave.

Speaker 2 (01:49:37):
At least I kept.

Speaker 11 (01:49:38):
I kept a little bit, but I you know, it's
uncomfortable with like a beard underneath the brave, so I
had to take it off occasionally to.

Speaker 2 (01:49:46):
Shave and just function.

Speaker 11 (01:49:47):
You're supposed to shower with it all, So it's chilenge, David.

Speaker 2 (01:49:52):
Thing I shower okay, I'm not one of them. I
washed my legs.

Speaker 11 (01:50:00):
But no, I didn't want me to even be producing.

Speaker 2 (01:50:04):
So you you told me to take the three months.
I did, I said, and I took.

Speaker 11 (01:50:08):
I took a month until we I forget. I think
it was because Ben Ben was I a for a
little bit so I can't so I was.

Speaker 2 (01:50:13):

so you know he's here when he can be.

Speaker 2 (01:50:28):
But he's here all the time now. He shows up
everything Saturday. He ain't missing it.

Speaker 1 (01:50:34):
But I did tell you to take the time off
because I said, sir, this sounds very very like bad
and I don't. It's okay, we can struggle a little bit.
We've done it before, so you but but but we
think you like I didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:50:48):
I didn't want to have to recuperate.

Speaker 11 (01:50:50):
But the truth was I needed it, so like when
I was when I told you about it, I was like, no,
I'm good, I'm gonna come back. I might need a
week and you're like no, and I'm And you were
right because I wasn't. I was not ready to I
was I was in bed for a good like three weeks.

Speaker 5 (01:51:04):
Wow, Wow, we're doing better. Brother.

Yeah yeah, I mean, I guess you know, when you
consider what the United States did to Hawaii, maybe this
is just our come up and we deserved it for good.

Speaker 2 (01:54:35):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 (01:54:37):
My Duke's the poet, Ma Duke's. The picture is too
hodorable first of all. But Jared Moskowitch is a traitor
to the Democratic Party.

Speaker 4 (01:54:46):
Agreed, agreed, and he's gonna be that until he comes
out and apologizes. And every time our friends that Might's
Touched promotes him, we're gonna have to come after Mightas Touched.

Speaker 5 (01:54:56):
Not that we want to.

Speaker 4 (01:54:57):
I'm super supportive of the fact that they're the biggest
podcast in the country.

Speaker 5 (01:55:01):
But if you're going to support a trader, we got
an issue.

Speaker 1 (01:55:04):
Yeah, absolutely, every single time. It's always gonna be a
problem on site. Please do tell King Jail, thank you
so much. Please do tell the gym to step up
or get out the way Schumer needs to go. Can't
believe that head fake he did on CR If folks
would read these bills, he would be out in the
streets already what they though, because it's getting crazy now.

(01:55:26):
I don't even know if they want to get out
on the streets, you know. Candace Candace Owens Marxist Buddy
Double listening to the hog scream at their Congress persons

but I really appreciate. I like your commentary and by chat.
If y'all cover it, I will organize a group to
go protest at Rep. Ed Cases Congressional Office for censuring
Al Green. I got a plan. I just need backup

Speaker 4 (01:56:09):
I will share it through all of my networks, all
my social media is just don't do nothing illegal.

Speaker 1 (01:56:13):

Speaker 1 (01:56:24):
To y'all cute little heavyes Charlie for a little good news.
Had my last day at MAGA infested work yesterday. Tomorrow
I leave to train for my new job where I
work with other trans women like me.

Speaker 2 (01:56:40):
Thank you so much, Charlie for sharing that.

Speaker 1 (01:56:43):
I love when people get listen, get out of there,
get out of there.

Speaker 2 (01:56:46):
If you can those infested places.

Speaker 1 (01:56:48):
I understand what that's like as well, to be in
a place where it's just you, your and it's true.
If your beliefs do not match where you were your
work environment, either, it will weigh on you something crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:56:59):
It will try on you something heavy.

Speaker 1 (01:57:01):
It really will. So I'm happy you got out of there.
Thank you for your testimony. H.

Speaker 2 (01:57:05):
Charlie. Once again, mission to the haters.

Speaker 1 (01:57:07):
And when they say but I'm tell them prove it
and dismiss all their proof.

Speaker 5 (01:57:14):
That's that's where that's that's what we live in right now.
And I say we return the favor m. H.

Speaker 1 (01:57:21):
Robert, the twenty two dollars, the fee. Things I dislike
about me, the feet, the free things I dislike.

Speaker 2 (01:57:30):
A few things got me together. The few things Professor Bean.

Speaker 1 (01:57:35):
I dislike about Midas Touch is that when they speak
about Palestine, the main host never brings up Palestine unless
it is to blame voters on last election and ignored
Bernie Progressives until now.

Speaker 2 (01:57:49):
Like Miightas Touched. How come I'm just not privy to that.

Speaker 1 (01:57:51):
Like I know it's a group of people who have
a podcast, I think, and I've heard about it, but
I'm not ununtil now, I think really went in and
to get in on how.

Speaker 4 (01:58:00):
It's what those people who we started with, you know,
eight years ago, is what they wanted to build through
social media and YouTube.

Speaker 5 (01:58:10):
So they have a Facebook, YouTube.

Speaker 4 (01:58:12):
Social media platform that's grown outgrown Joe Rogan, So shout
out to them for doing that. But at the same time,
what Robert is saying here is absolutely true. Like we
this unity and the solidarity that we have with folks
like Minus Touched, it's tenuous.

Speaker 5 (01:58:32):
It's it's we got.

Speaker 4 (01:58:33):
Some we have some outstanding issues, right and some of
those issues is how they view uh. And I'm being
honest with you, it's probably best that they don't talk
about it, right because if they talked about it, then
we probably would not be able to even have any
solidarity with them at all whatsoever. Because when it comes
to Palestine and Gaza, it's like if you if you
do not see the genocide that happened, or if you

(01:58:56):
enabled it in any way or you justified it in
any way, David Pakman, we can't even be down no more.

Speaker 2 (01:59:02):
So, Yeah, no, that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:59:06):
The thank you being Nancy for your supersticker. Tracy Eva,
thank you so much for your supersticker. Where are you
Tracy up? You're one of my UH avid supporters. I
seen you all the time. Where are you, Tracy? Where
are you located? I always wanted to know that UK. Look,
we got people.

Speaker 2 (01:59:27):
I love when we just are like when we're just
so international.

Speaker 1 (01:59:30):
I also wanted to get this US not super Chat,
this cash app from Robert White. Keep it up, great show.
I appreciate you. Thank you so much of Robert. And
I said your full name, my god, that's probably not
the name you go by, so I can't get that
out of my year just to read read read.

Speaker 2 (01:59:50):
Read, but I appreciate you guys.

Speaker 1 (01:59:52):
I just dropped a new UH segment of things and
it's called let's be clear, it's going to be that
that's gonna be my monologue. I found a place to
get some thoughts off UH and it's gonna be where
my monologues are going to be about whatever issue it
may be. Your girl has things to say, and now
I could put them to words in the you know,

(02:00:14):
short amount of time. How we used to do I
like it or not when we were in studio, ben Uh,
those moments that we would do and I would just
get some thoughts off real quick.

Speaker 2 (02:00:22):
This one is called let's be clear.

Speaker 1 (02:00:24):
I dropped the first one, and that is about actually
what happened over at.

Speaker 2 (02:00:29):
MSNBC and what's interesting.

Speaker 1 (02:00:31):
And we'll get out of here after this, because your
girl MSNBC about how their attack on black women isn't
just something that just happened for Tiffany Cross or from
just most recently Joy and Red. They started back when
me and Ben were over there doing like it or not.

Speaker 2 (02:00:46):
In this first edition, they started back with uh Hill Perry,
Am I getting it right?

Speaker 1 (02:00:55):
Melissa Harrispary Melissa Harris Perry and started back with her.
I remember it was yesterday when that happened. She was
on there from two Well, first of all, that was
her own show. They brought it to MSNBC and her
and her, her whole crew was at MSNBC working with her,
and they cut her when Donald Trump and his business
and all this other crappy stuff was becoming the front

(02:01:19):
news was becoming the a block was becoming that just
like they needed to cover him doing every little thing.
And she's like, well, let me get my thoughts off
like I usually do. They she was coming into work,
Oh I was real cute, but like, let me get
into work and let me get my thoughts off. And
they weren't even telling her that they were not going

(02:01:40):
to put her program up on the schedule time anymore.
They were just not doing it. And when she called
them out MSNBC, they preempted her. They started to say, Okay,
keep playing with us. We're not going to put your
stuff up, and she had to walk away because she
knew what was going to happen. And when when we
got down to recently this the earlier this year with

(02:02:01):
what happened a few weeks ago with Joyanne Reid, she
tweeted out, like, listen, I already told y'all what it
was gonna be after me.

Speaker 2 (02:02:08):
And this is what it was. And people are in
my comment section.

Speaker 1 (02:02:11):
It's interesting to see the arguments, but people are like
Joyanne Reid said things about Foundation of Black Americans, so
she had to go. Or Melissa Harris Parry has always
been problematic because she remember at that time been it
was not because journalism had to be and the only

(02:02:32):
people that could really say things that were outside of
the biased approach was or the unbiased approach was people
like Rachel Maddow and the other people on CNN, and
the ones who had the audacity to do it were
clipped from CNN too. Remember Roland Martin who had his moments,
and remember there was another I forgot his name and
Hispanic man.

Speaker 2 (02:02:53):
They cut him. He came in with Roland Martin.

Speaker 1 (02:02:56):
We had all these people that were a part of
the brown and black communities that were clipped from these
places because they don't actually want to hear our voices
on yes, Ben, they don't actually want to hear our
voices when it comes to any issues. And when it
was Donald Trump, I think our voices should have been
the loudest in the room, honestly when it comes to issues,

(02:03:17):
because a lot of the things that he's putting out
there are affecting our communities the most. But they didn't
want us to have to say us say. And Melissa,
they did not want her to say. They wanted to
preempt her, move her shoulds to the side, and put
in Donald Trump content in place of that, and that's
why she walked. So, just to be clear, the same
thing basically happened right now with Joyanne Reid after she

(02:03:38):
came in in twenty twenty, right that was the Black Revolution,
the Black evolution, the blackness that was coming back. Black
Lives Matter RA two point zero came out, and black
people were profitable. Our pain was profitable, Our voices were profitable.
So they put black people, particularly black women, in seats.

Speaker 2 (02:03:56):
Joyanne Reid is a true journalist. She's a true journalist.
She wasn't just an Analyst's the true journalist.

Speaker 1 (02:04:02):
And they cut her Tiffany Cross with somebody who came
in with the type of fire that we see from
people like Melissa Harris Perry and other other They put
her on because they needed her voice. But when it
was too much and the dust started to settle and
the DEI that we see at Target happened, that was
also happening in the media world, they had to cut
those people as well. So take a look at my video.

(02:04:24):
I'm gonna drop another one on tomorrow and we're going
to discuss the Muslim band two point zero and it's
including Haitians Caribbean countries. All right, listen Cash app Becca's voice, Ben,
is there anything else you want to say?

Speaker 2 (02:04:41):
I'll see tomorrow church.

Speaker 5 (02:04:43):
But those that come, I see them tomorrow at church, and.

Speaker 2 (02:04:46):
That they will see you guys tomorrow at church for
the rest through the week. We'll see you through the week.
We might even we might do something through the week. Man,
you want to do something through.
