we're free to tell the truth.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
And not care who doesn't like it. Rebecca, I don't
know why I like saying your name wrong.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
It's okay, because everybody did for most of my life,
and it was me. It was you that told me
to correct them.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
That's true, true.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
But I was laughing because you know, well, you know,
I have a raspy voice, and I was having some
trouble with my voice these past few days. Yah know,
the voice is raspy. But in that that intro just now,
I was giving you guys, very white.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Very white, it was your voice helps us.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
I was like, you know what, that's all right, because
sometimes my voice can do that.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Meanwhile, your voice helps and my voice helps you guys.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
But this week, this past few weeks or the past
wee weeks, past few days, my voice was completely gone.
Not because I was screaming or anything like that. It
was actually some kind of like stress that really made
my like internal stress that made my voice go away.
So I'm getting it back just in time for us

(01:38):
to do this weekday show. So and thanks to the
person that just sent me my cash up. Interesting enough,
they said, right, no, it was.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
It was great.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
They said, for almost for your happy almost birthday you remember,
and that that's why I wanted to shout it out
at the beginning, because you rememble.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Okay, that's so sweet.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
My birthday is May fifteenth, May fifteenth, and it's almost
my birthday. But that was so kind. That made me smile. Phoenix,
thank you so much. I appreciate that. But hey, everybody, hey,
everybody in the chat, make sure right now you like,
you share, you subscribe, you move. You know, we got
some things to discuss on today. I don't know what

(02:20):
you got in mind, band, but I got a couple
of things.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
And before we do that, I just want to.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Somebody said this online. I said, I'm gonna I'm gonna
go ahead and tap into this. My therapist also told
me that. She said, if you have a tribe of
people and you're going through something, don't be afraid to
speak to your tribe.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
And I was like, I don't trust them people. I
don't trust nobody. I'm just kidding.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Put out of your tribe if you don't trust them.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
This is true, this is true, But also what does
that mean for you?

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Sometimes when people are your tribe and you don't trust them,
you don't trust them because of trauma. You don't trust
them because you know it's a you thing too, Like
you know, I can get a dumbasuf. And so she
was saying, she was like, Rebecca, as you are out
of work, you know, they let me go again. You
should definitely lean on your tribe. Your tribe is your audience.

(03:11):
Your tribe is your you know those people, so they
can help you stay afloat while you're doing your work
and figuring it out. She's like, you gotta let people
know what you're, what you're what you're going through or
whatever what you because I ain't even want to do it.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
I ain't even want to do it.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
You know, we're the type of Haitians that have a
lot of black people themselves.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
We have a lot of.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Like you can be just out out and down and
you're just gonna have to get it for yourself. Like
you don't want to ask nobody, because you remember that
one cold time you ask somebody back in nineteen ninety three.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
And they can't do nothing for you.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
You said, no, I don't even ask nobody. That's why
I can't do it. But she had told me, She's like, no, girl,
you have a tribe. Let them help you. You help them,
let them help you. So y'all already know Becka's voice
on cash app Help your girl is do tomorrow. Help
your girl. Figure that out. But let's get to the

(04:12):
new news man. So it's it's been some things.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
It's been one.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Hundred days, one hundred days since Donald Trump has been
in office.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
How has your spirit been in hundred days?

Speaker 3 (04:25):
I have never been better, Rebecca. I'm actually quite blessed
and highly favored for you. You know, I clearly recognize
the chaos and the destruction that's being caused by this.
I really want to take a second to fix my camera.
It's bothered me so much, but I gotta get up

(04:45):
and go around.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
I'll go ahead.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
I'm going to talk about one hundred days, and I'm
gonna get you on full screen, like we clearly know
the disaster, Like we're gonna put up some clips. We
got some clips of what's happen. Right, So the GDP
already has decreased, we're in a recession. One more one
more quarter of what Trump already did and we'll be
in an official recession. Theagels is on the uprise, Polio

(05:13):
is making a combat right. We have all of these
indicators that we're living in the age of poverty and
the age of pestilence. But I'm okay. Reason I'm okay
is because you know, sometimes the only thing that you
can do is see the crisis clearly might not can
fix it, might not can change it. But if you

(05:34):
understand what's going on and you can can and you
can keep your head about you while others are losing
theirs and blaming it on you, if you do that,
then you'll be fine.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, no, absolutely, it's it's I think it's more easier
than it was the last time around because we didn't
know at that time and we were losing our minds,
and then twenty twenty came. We were in the middle
of a pandemic. That wasn't even Trump's one hundred days.
That was our first day, one hundred days outside of Trump.
And then people had scaled the wall before Biden even
took office. And then we was in the pandemic, of course,

(06:07):
and then there was this Black Revolution reckoning. You know,
at that time, it was police brutality, it was it
was just people. It was the candles being made out
of cotton scents and watermelon scents, and Akeia selling all
kinds of you know, black American food, which I didn't

(06:28):
think was such a bad idea, but at Ikea, you know,
trying to it was Nancy Pelosi kneeling in the kintake clock.
It was so much happening, and we were still fighting
in that moment to try to undo what Donald Trump did.
But it was almost as if he planted so many

(06:48):
seeds that they grew, They grew. Even Biden's laws weren't
the best either. However, these are one hundred days haven't
aged me, you know, Thank God for Jesus, because I
already been through and I told y'all what I.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Was gonna go.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Also got my own personal stuff going on.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
But it has felt like four years one hundred days
have felt like four years because every single day, maybe
hour by hour, we ain't even talking about how we
did in his first one hundred days, where he the
story was how many times that he went golfing?

Speaker 4 (07:28):
Mhm.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
This time around, it is.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
What is the next thing he's gonna do in the
next five minutes? What law or policy is he gonna
roll back? What law is he gonna say he is
above him and his administration is above what black What
black group of people are gonna be attacked now, because
we're already a minority group and within our subgroups, who's
gonna be attacked directly?

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Like what's going to happen tomorrow?

Speaker 1 (07:57):
What white person is going to feel feel so bold
to go out.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
And say something racist online?

Speaker 1 (08:06):
I mean a white person, I mean white leader, right,
I mean like our white representatives, I mean our white doctors.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
And who was gonna come out here and not care.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
About their jobs, their their their corporations. You know they're
them being CEOs of any of this. They're no, He's
giving people free passes to do so much, so much damage,
and all while trying to construct the dictatorship, and it's

(08:35):
actually happening. You know what I mean, so this one
hundred days has not been like we knew he would
do this, but going through it as he's doing this
the first ten days was like, oh my god, I
don't even know where to start. I don't know where
to go. I don't know which story we're gonna cover today.

(08:56):
I might need five minutes for myself. I told him
that I was gonna take a right but the people
out here had given the news is giving it wrong.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
It's just.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
So the next thirty days, I was like, i's gotta come, Bax.
I's gotta come Bax, because we need to start talking
about what's really going on. And this is not a
moment where we're trying to lead the horses to water.
Were trying to hop on these horses in the head
out for the people who ride out. That's what we're doing.

(09:25):
We ain't trying to lead you out the water, No
mo and drink nan nothing. Were taking the horses that listen,
were taking the horses that want to be on the way,
we take it. We got somewhere to be okay, and
on the way. We will continue to give you where
to go, directions how to do it, because we're not
doing it anymore where We've given you such time, and
you guys believe that there was this wasn't gonna it

(09:48):
wasn't that serious.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
It wasn't gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
It was now here we are one hundred days in
and Donald Trump has rolled back policies within a previous
administration and he wasn't even president time and then as
soon as he got in he took away so much
and threatened to take away more. Yeah, believe the threats
is what I'm.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Saying that part. What I'm saying that part.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
And then for me.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Specifically, what gets me under the Donald on Trump administration
right now is the education, the rollbacks on education specifically
the attacks on HBCUs and of course, as you know,
immigration issues. Immigration issues under Donald Trump have been one

(10:35):
of the main things. And of course he started with
the attacks on Haitians and let that be the face
and all that stuff, but really he's coming after all you.
He's coming after all of you, and pay attention because

(10:56):
the ones that thought that this was not an actual
issue for them, it came a knocking.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Our way.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
They about to find out our way. He doesn't told
people to self support. I know, I keep mentioning that.
But I'm telling you because y'all thought it, it could
never be you, It could never be you. And here
we are today, and the white folks Ukrainians love you
mean it. You should be away from the war torn
country absolutely into a free space where you can have

(11:29):
a chance to live your life.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
But he said you too. Yep, everybody, everybody unless you
got the.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Golden card, the money to purchase golden card, what is
it five million dollars to buy your way, to buy
your American citizenship, to buy your American dream.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
And I wonder who you know, Betty, you said so
much in there, Where do you even start? So let's
start with white folk. And I know you. You can
textualize it for the Ukrainians, right, but all white folk
do y'all not see how he has literally used dark

(12:16):
skinned immigrants as the conduit to screw you, to take
you for everything, that to crash whatever you had in
the four one oh one K. Now I get it
because because a lot of us weren't even phased by
what happened to the start market in these first one
hundred days, because no money in the stop market with
you ain't got no four oh one k. You ain't

(12:36):
got no five oh one C three d AFG. They
got none of that, right. But but some of y'all
have some retirements. They got devastated while his friends made
hundreds of millions of dollars. Marjorie Taylor Green made millions
of dollars. One guy, Donald Trump Bragg had him right

(12:58):
there in the White House said you made nine hundred
million in a day because of how Trump was playing
with y'all. Trump has used the hatred that you have
in your heart for immigrants and black people to destroy you.
And you know what, Hey, misery loves company, which is
all going off together. Come on, let's come on down
here with us poor folks so you can see what

(13:18):
it actually feels like because you let your racism turn
into your poverty.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Yeah, and.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
You were always poor some people when we talk about
them all the time. The people that did not were
they were affected from him pulling rolling back health care
lots and just different things, housing a lot of these
different things.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
You were toothless. Okay, they pulled my teeth out in
the back.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
I'm grateful I can smile and still got something going
on by foul teeth fleft in the front.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
But the ones that got no teeth left and they
over here riding for Donald Trump. Come on and you
are on your last peg leg are on?

Speaker 1 (14:00):
You literally cannot you driving that truck until the truck
ain't nothing left up?

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Okay, you are in. There is nothing you can do.
You can't get to your meds.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
You cannot afford the programs that you are on, specifically
for the one. And I say this because I'm thinking
about the woman that started the whole situation with the
Haitians eating cat in Ohio. She's on programs, she's not
able to work. She voted for Donald Trump because she
said that the immigrants. They said that the immigrants were
taking the work, and they they were saying that the

(14:35):
uh you b I'm.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
So proud of how hard are.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Oh my goodness?

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Who beat? Unsaid that she likes for the listening audience.
She likes Ben's fake house. If you guys go onto YouTube,
you'll see Ben with a beautiful interior and thanks to man.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
But that we then look, you know what's so crazy?

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Why does your camera work better with the green screen
in the background. But as soon as you put it out,
you're little dep there you are, You're back again. Okay, good,
I guess yeah. But just we touch and agreed that
one day shall be so, it shall be so.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
AnyWho.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
But I think all the people who are on programs
to vote for Donald Trump only to find out that
the things that they were told to win the vote.
Remember the groceries, yep, groceries out that baby, they up
and they stuck. Wait, it ain't even stock because it's
been moving. Y'all was complaining that they was eight dollars
at the time, seven dollars. Baby, we went from nine

(15:40):
and we went to thirteen dollars. It was a it's
a pandemic amongst the eggs. Again again, I bet you
wish some eggs was full dollars and five dollars, but
here we are at thirteen dollars. It's the You voted
for a man that told you he would help you
with your health care insolent, right, And I ain't talking
about gl and stuff like that. I'm talking about the insulin.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
That people need.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
They're not able to get it for the diabetes or
whatever the case may be.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
People are getting their chemo removed.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
That's how people are saying that they can no longer
go or can afford because under this law or under changes,
they can't do certain things. I just saw and this
it wasn't true to the exact sense. It was narrowed
down and marginalized. Of course, where they said that Donald
Trump will be taking away the mental health care hotline.

(16:34):
When I looked further into it, I saw that I
think it was he was removing it for the lgbt Q.
I A plus, I want to say, but he's doing
something where he's removing access to things that we need
or things that we worked hard to obtain to get.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
That's right, that's right. And no, because I thought that
was I thought that was not a pregnant pause. I
didn't recognize that was a pregnant pole. It's my fault.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
No, No, it wasn't.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
But and what's what's wild about it is there they
have no their fangs are out. They don't care to
hide their cruelty. They actually revel in it. They get
they get off on it, right, it turns them on.

Speaker 4 (17:18):
I think they get sexual arousal out of how cruel
they can be to everybody, everybody but them and even
and here's the.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
Thing, though, they're even being cruel to themselves. Right, these
people they're they're losing their family members to the pandemic. Still,
they had children die of measles, right, They're losing their
benefits all while they're still getting high off of being
cruel to other people. I mean, they don't I don't
think they see how they are writing their own destruction

(17:50):
as they celebrated, and they celebrated in Jesus's name, like
they really believe that they're doing all this in the
name of Christ. But they're destroying others and destroying themselves,
and they think that they are the enlightened ones. It's crazy.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yeah, and even oh my gosh, thank you for bringing
that portion of it up, the religious aspect of it.
These people are walking around here training up the churches
culte like I think all churches are coote like anyway,
even mine, but you know, just training up the churches
to be Nazis and under and again this is under

(18:27):
Donald Trump, who doesn't even serve God.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
He told y'all he ain't.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Real Christian, and you guys still are choosing to cover
this man in that way and are repeating his nonsense
within your church. Right, He's taken over religion, he's taken
over the immigration system that we that America has that
wasn't even all that good, that wasn't even all that big,

(18:52):
that wasn't even all that important to America, an already
broken system that had so much work needed, and he
has basically put it down to nothing. Yeah, and he's
taken racism a lot of the historical things that we

(19:13):
accomplish as black people in this country, even while we've
been ignored by law, we've done for ourselves. He's made
sure that with an education, we're going to be reprimanded
for things like having an HBCU, when the whole idea
of having an HBCU was because we couldn't go to
white institutions, so we created our own. Now we're being

(19:36):
held reprimanded for that very thing. Also because we have
financial aid that aids minority children, black kids, because our
parents are in America systemically not able to because of

(19:58):
the systems, not able to pay for their their child's school.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
And they're saying I.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
See a lot of people saying, Oh, because your parents
decided to do whatever, and they couldn't do this, and
they couldn't do that. No, your parent went to school,
your parent had to probably come out of school help
pay for a house over your head whatever, stuff like that.
And these systems allow us to make a better life,
to end generational curses, and they're making it even difficult
for us. Yes, as if we're asking for handouts. Is

(20:28):
a black kid wanting to go to school and getting
the help that they need with with programs from black
communities that grant them the ability to be able to
do so a problem so that they can end generational curses.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
No, I believe that the system wants to keep us down.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Now, I sound like I sound like doctor Umar, that
the system want to keep the man down.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
You sound like the old Umar. The new Umar helped
get Donald Trump elected.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Oh yeah, because we played that. We played that.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
We played the juxtaposition from when he said at the
first time that he doesn't think that Donald Trump should
be president on the Breakfast Club to going on to
I think speaking to white folks and telling them that
Donald Trump is the next president.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
He's like the Messiah.

Speaker 3 (21:17):
He has to be president, say talk to yeah, yeah, yeah,
So I'm sorry, but you you were saying, I don't
mean to take you on tangent, but yeah, you sound
like the old Umar.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yeah, so I was saying that the systems are literally
trying to break us down so that we are no
longer knowledgeable, so that we are no longer prepared for
what's gonna come, so that we are no longer pushing that.
They want to make us faint and weary, like we
already haven't been. But we are the people that type.
We're the type of people that pushed through. Right, we'll push,
We'll we'll step back for a minute, take a breather,
but we're gonna push through. But they want to make us,
make it feel that there is no way where we

(21:48):
can't bow down to the law, where we can't bow
And I believe again, like in my thing, I believe
that we have to respect respect authority. But this is
not respecting authority. This authority, the same authority is abusing us.
It's a system that is abusing us. Nothing was created
in America. It never was created with us in mind.
They had to tweak things because we literally marched for it.

(22:11):
We took back our businesses for it, we built communities
for it. We lit they had nothing, no seasoning. So
they had to come back and be like, we give
them DEI mm hmm, we give them that corner in
the building, and even though it's for it's a job
for about twenty people. We put two black folks over
there and we tell them to hold it down, and

(22:32):
we say we have fulfilled our quota.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Who's gonna cut your grass? Who?

Speaker 3 (22:41):
Yah?

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Y'all over there.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Wringling up the people that want to do the work,
that actually know how to do agriculture, cause y'all ain't doing.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
It for real.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
I've been looking at some lines and y'all don't really
got that downpacked.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Come on, y'all, don't Who wonna take care of your kids?

Speaker 2 (22:59):
Who's gonna take care of your parents?

Speaker 1 (23:00):
My mom is a nurse and she take care of
She works with a lot of CNAs h h's who
are fresh immigrants who took courses to be able to
take care of the grandmother you don't want in your house.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
To be able to take care and and clean up
the ment. The person that.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
Has a non working brain right now, you think you're
that person, that child, that family member, that friend as
you're their guardian is just.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Too much work. A lot of immigrants are taking care
of them for you. I do not. In my mom's
field back home, I hardly see.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
A white person working and doing those jobs and.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
That they would look look historically, my dearest white friends,
when do white folks do their own work in the
United States of America? When did white folks do their
own work? I ain't talking about you as an individual,
So everyone who's listening, you know I love you. If

(24:09):
you're listening, I know you. If you a woke white ally,
you know I love you. I'm just talking about structurally
in the United States of America, when did white Americans
do their own work? The Chinese helped build the railroad
system out west. Couldn't do that. Black folks did everything
since sixteen nineteen, couldn't do that. We even built the

(24:30):
White House, we built the Capitol. Like, let's really structurally
think about it. Right, When it came down to feeding
the masses, white folks went out there in the fields.
It was Mexicans. Right, So when has white America done
its own structural work? And y'all think y'all gonna get

(24:50):
out there and just wait a minute, go on, step further,
not narry item. This in your house right now has
been built by white folks. Every technology you got came
from China.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
And the.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
Technology that was built by white folks. They don't even
use it themselves. That's when you should be really questionable.
R I p to Steve Jobs, that man told us
all he got in his house. He don't even let
his kids use the cell phones. He don't even let
the he's he literally knew they got rich off of
implanting these things.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Look and I really sound like from people today, I'm
really given. I'm really giving. They they messing up the system.
They they they not, they mess up the system. They
never meant for us to have the system. The black
man always.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Was sold and want to show the old Kanye when
he said, you know, pulling up and the you know
pulling up, you I want all these things. But then
in reality, you know, you have this new car or whatever,
and they always gonna look at you as still a
nigga in the bends, like you're just you're always going
to be a nigga. Nigga's imparis nigga, Like you're just
gonna be that.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
That's how they view you.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
And I think it really bobles my mind that they
sit here, these white men right here, sit here and
want people to stroke their egos every single day. As
white men in America, we must bow down to them.
But the minute that they have to express the truth
about why they are placed in this position, who's really
the brains behind what they do in meetings? How they

(26:19):
get like they're upset because it might be a woman
or it might be a minority.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Who's really keeping this as a well oiled machine?

Speaker 3 (26:27):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Come on, And so this.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
First one hundred days is trying to tell us to
f off. Right, let's talk about it. Let's talk about it.
Not lows two pete hegxeth pete. This is somebody who
was over the Defense Department of the United States of America,
not once but twice, has used outside unsecure communication preach

(26:57):
about for Americans while they're all already in line with
the Defense Department to attack black people who are already
working alongside the Defense Department finding ways to get them out.
And you got a whole person who's over the Defense Department,
so who should be gone because of their lack of

(27:17):
ability and qualification expertise.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
To run it.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
But all you gotta be, as we've learned in the
first one hundred days of Donald Trump, is white and
a man. And let's sprinkle in make sure you're racist.
We need you nice and racist, and then we might
need us a house nigga. Other than that, we don't care.

(27:46):
We will rewrite history, we will rewrite the program and
the qualifications so that they can fit. So now they're saying,
beat heck, set didn't do anything wrong, because that's.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Exactly what we wanted him to do. We were testing them.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
One.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
You didn't see what you saw, you didn't hear what
you heard, because we knew already.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
That part. That part what's crazy about it is the
fact that there's nothing that Donald Trump and his cabal
can do that these people won't turn around and say, yeah,
I voted for that. You voted for the rise of
the resurrection of Polio, you voted for the resurrection of
meaedles measles, you vote for economic decline, you voted for

(28:29):
stock market crashing. You voted for that. That's what you wanted, right,
And they're trained like puppies. They're trained like Pablog's dog.
No matter what bell Donald Trump rings, they always are
going to fetch and say we voted for that, no
matter how much it destroys them. And I can we
have to contextualize this for the story. I believe it

(28:51):
was Texas. I'm not sure what state, but it was
that that white family who's daughter died of measles, and
then they turned around and said that they'll do would
all over again. And it was earlier in this year.

Speaker 4 (29:05):
We saw them making excuses for all the airlines, all
the planes that were crashing, right, And I made the comment,
I said, maga's willing to they would rather die in
a plane crash than to admit that they were wrong.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
And but then I realized, it's even worse than that.
They're willing to let their children die before they and
still won't admit that they're wrong.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
They will they're willing to let their children die in
mass shootings and they still won't admit that we need
gun control. So absolutely they're not gonna say that they
you know, they're wrong, they will not do it. They
blamed it on drag queens. Remember, they will blame it
on mental you know, mental health for the white people.

(29:53):
They will never admit that they're wrong. They will never
admit that they need to hold on be be. You
put these comments on them, I'm reading them the same time.
B says, y'all gotta find a show time that doesn't
conflict with the Majority Report, which ill like, you know,
I got homies over there that also work with shouts
out the bender.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
I'm so torn, but y'all win because I love you
as we should.

Speaker 3 (30:18):
Okay, let me say it like this though, because I'm
gonna throw you under the bus. Record like it or not.
As a pop up show, we pop up when Rebecca's available,
so you know.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
And as Rebecca is available these days, she would be
more more available to do this more often.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
True.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Yeah, yeah, ain't see me more often these these past
few days since I've been out of work, y'ah, ain't
see me more often?

Speaker 2 (30:45):
You can't lie.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
I've been here, okay, as we should, and thank you
for being with us.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
Be you can catch the Majority Report on replay now,
you know. And speaking of replay, I wonder really.

Speaker 3 (31:00):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I got to stop putting cumbs
on the screen. But jose Kelly is minister here. What
did Jesus say to Jerusalem? Did you not pass your
children through the fire? Did you not sacrifice your own
children for your political and economic power? Jerusalem? Oh Jerusalem?

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Kelly preaching today, he got no, you don't you don't
activate a band I forgot what I was transitioning the
phrase out.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
He's in the transition.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
But I remember when Donald Trump had well, we haven't
seen him place in and that man still has aspirations.
Black folks, see, we don't never give up, even though
you be hurt and broken. Colin Kaepernick, I remember when
we when we were first doing this, Colin Kaepernick was
a football player in the NFL and he decided to kneel.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
We never see that man play a game again.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
I remember Donald Trump spoke with them people and told
to get their boys in line. He called Colin Kaepernick
and anybody else who kneeled sons and pardon my friends,
but I need you to understand, the President of the
United States has normalized cursing as a president, has normalized
speaking ill.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
Of people, not caring.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
Our representatives are now walking around on both sides. There's
no decorum. It's a mess. But Donald Trump called them.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
I think it was sons of bitches. Yeah, if I
want to be clear.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
And so with that being said, Donald Trump has set
the preference at that time that black men in the NFL,
even though we already knew, we already knew what it
was like, what it is for black boys and sports.
And I think that the latest it reminds me because
Donald Trump has already again listen out loud. We're not

(32:55):
gonna secretly do it anymore. We're gonna be out loud
with how we're going to d with black boys who
don't respect our authority, who do not feel like they're
too they're much better than us. We're gonna get them
in line. Donald Trump has given that Shadore Shador, which

(33:17):
is the son of Dion Sanders. Shadoor Sanders is waiting
to be drafted. There are a lot of things that
I can talk about with that, but you can pull
some b ro for Shador. But Shador Sanders again is
Deon Sanders' son, and he was waiting.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
To be drafted. And he's so amazing. He's so great
at what he does.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
But he's also very confident, just like his daddy was,
just like a lot of other NFL players or basketball
players who are very confident in themselves and train every
day and believe in their in their craft. And it
was almost the talking points where he's sue Hockey. He
needs to be humbled, he needs to you know, he

(34:04):
needs he thinks that he's gonna get picked in the
first draft, the first round.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Uh, he's gonna be a first draft pick. We'll show him.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
And what happened was, and I want to talk about
this because there's a lot of layers to this and
I'm gonna stick to this particular layer. What happened was
he got a prank call, a prank call from a
coordinator of the Atlanta Falcons son who got Chadur's information

(34:33):
Frau the iPad that was laying around of his daddy.
This white little boy got Schador's information, Chador's phone that
was given to him by Boost Mobile just for this moment.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
That number was in there.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
So it wasn't his a random phone number. It was
literally just for this moment for the draft call. This
young man been there's a video out and I don't
know if you can find it out, Okay. And this
young man who is the son of the coordinator, one
of the coordinators from the Atlanta Falcons, prank called him

(35:14):
and made it seem as if he was getting ready
to be drafted.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
Then accused him of taking.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
Funds inappropriately and il funds inappropriately or his you know, likeliness.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
And anything like that. And we already know.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
And as I said, what bothers me the most is
people were still suck on.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Oh, it's just.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
It's just a print call. It's just a prank call.
Don't mean anything. But this is a young black boy,
and we already know in the NFL specifically, but in
sports period. Why is it hard for black men who
love sports to be okay with saying that there's racism
systemically in the sports world. For Shador put aside that

(35:57):
you think that his daddy is cocky, he's cocky and
he don't deserve and the same way people think about
Lebron and his son and they don't deserve and all
that stuff.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
There are systems meant to literally look at them.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
As soon as they say they this is the same
way that all the systems are meant to criminalize black boys.
Here's another one. As soon as they say that this
man was taking funds inappropriately, and this is in the
joke phone call, the prank phone call, that he was
taking funds inappropriately, that is something that's telling him that basically,
your black behind is doing something illegal, and immediately we

(36:28):
will criminalize you, and we will take away any rights,
and you don't deserve to play for us, because you
can't get nothing right. It's problematic. And the way that
that young man had actually handled it I think was
very very mature. He went on accept the apology and

(36:50):
moved on with what he needed to do.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
So, Ben, are you still with me?

Speaker 3 (36:56):
I think I am just after a little thing I
gotta take care of it came up really okay.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
So no, no, go ahead, and I'll find the video
for you. But I say all that to say we
have to understand that in these systems as well. I
feel that we can't just talk about, oh, that was
just a brain call, oh you know, should do because
of our own personal feelings of oh, you know, he's
too cocky, he's too this, he's to that, and that

(37:22):
not addressed the dangerous of that phone call. That phone
call was dangerous. And the son, his name is Jax Olbrick.
He is getting no no issues. They're like, they're gonna
just look into this. They're they're gonna they're gonna see,
you know, make sure that this doesn't happen again. That's it,

(37:45):
that's all. There's nothing else. I think that there's a
fee maybe that the coordinator may have to pay, but
he has it. He has it to pay the I
think the the Illanta Falcons were fined. I think it
says that they were find two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars in the coordinator one hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
But they got the money. They got the money to
take care of it.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
Right.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
So but let's listen to this phone call. And then
I want to go ahead and let y'all know this
was strategic. They already heard about the he's too cocky,
he's waiting for himself to be in the first draft pick.
And the son of the Falcons coordinator literally had the
phone number ready. They called him in this moment, and
he picked up the phone call. They were saying that
they wanted to draft him and then told him about him,

(38:31):
you know, taking funds and appropriately because that's what they do.
They want to they want to buck what is it
buck breaking? Yeah, but let's go ahead and take a listen.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
He is listenre, this is Mickey glummas here, the gam
of the New Orleans Saints.

Speaker 3 (38:53):
How you doing?

Speaker 1 (38:55):
This is Mackey glamas here, Jam of the Saints.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
How are you?

Speaker 1 (39:00):
Man?

Speaker 3 (39:03):
Yeah, we have it's been a long wait. Man. Uh,
we're gonna take you with our next week right here, man,
but you're gonna have to wait a little bit longer. Man,
Sorry about that that. What do you say? Are you
ask me? And he was on the phone, you heard that.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
So basically he was trying to say that he misused
in I L the name, image and likening deals. Uh,
And we know that again, black college athletes, they finally
started making some money the legal way because we know
white folks will go over there and off of these
black kids all this money and all this other stuff
to get them to go to their schools. So and

(39:50):
the system was making billions off these kids' names, and
they're now these children that were being used were able
to make you know, money in the right way. And
we know that black kids will be scrutinized more with
things like this anyway, because they're the ones that are
wanted the most. I never see people really going to
white folks house to go and get them for the

(40:12):
for the NFL, that's a mostly black athlete sport. And
so I say that to say this fake investigation call
that they're saying that it's just a joke. This kid
have ruined his life and it's on purpose. And I
think that we're not seeing that black athletes have long

(40:37):
been stereotype as the things like a cheater or a
thief or whatever. Look how they did vic right, what's
his name, Mike vic Vic. And look how they did
him when he was doing the dog situation. And then
look how they did the white man who was getting
food stamps or was still on welfare for something of
the sword and they let him be that that football

(40:59):
player that was still using government assistance, none of.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
Yes, you see what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
So they always there's always like they're always gonna criminalize up.
But so this boy who hasn't even started in the
NFL yet, they already tried to make him not only
that they're saying that he's too cocky, they already tried
to make him some.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
Kind of criminal but in the system of the sports.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
So I get upset because the boy that did it,
Ulrich Jack's Old Oakrich, Oldrich whatever again got a slap
on the wrist. Nothing will be done. Now, imagine if
it was Chador that did that to Old Rich. Imagine
jail time it would be. How dare he he?

Speaker 2 (41:48):
This is people's dreams, This.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
Is how it would have been all of that, It
would have been all of that included. But here we are,
and we're saying where he has to keep his head up,
continue to push for the game. He has to be
somebody that's humble right now while Jackson gets to walk around.
And he gave an apology, which they often do, and

(42:11):
the apology was saying, you know, I should have never
took away your moment and should never do this X
Y and Z and I'm sorry, thank you for taking
my phone call.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
I hope that you find it in my heart, in
your heart to forgive.

Speaker 3 (42:23):
Nah, well you know, so forgive and I forget right
and and and so honestly watching looking at him wearing
a Colorado jersey versus a Jackson State jersey, and then
you contextualize it for the laughing, high high key key
the prank part that that you talked about, as well

(42:47):
as everything that they're saying about his arrogance and trying
to make them humbler stuff. You know, it just kind
of it is a bitter reminder of why Prime Time
should never have left Jackson State in the first place.
I know the same conversation ain't about that, but I
can't really talk I can't really think about it and
look at these images on the screen and realize it's

(43:12):
not And I'm not saying, you know, because this is
this what I'm saying is about Dion. It's not about Shadeur.
You know what Shadura is having to go through. I
hate that it's so normalized for successful black people. Right,
there's nothing that they hate more than a successful, confident
black person. I mean they hate that, like they'll go

(43:35):
to war over that. I mean, they would have lynched
you for that back in the day. You can't be
a cocky negro, be good and cocky. So what he's
going through, you know, it's a shame regardless of his
father's decision to leave Jackson State and take his talent,
Shadeur's talent, as well as his other son's talent, as

(43:55):
well as prime time Dean Sander's talent away from HBCUs.
And you really think about it, right, and then this
moment when Donald Trump is waging a war on HBCUs, Right,
this was this would have been the time to have
that football economic power that Dion Sanders was selling us

(44:15):
when he was first at Jackson State. Like he was
really selling us on this dream that is actually a right.
I think the dream is correct. I think the idea
that he had originally was correct. But now where we were,
we're in a stage where a number one HBCUs are
under attack without anybody to give them cover. What do
you think, HBC, what do you think Donald Trump could

(44:35):
have done to HBCUs while Dion Sanders was reigning over
a resurgent in black football, in football from black students
at HBCUs, like he would have had power in this situation.
But now we don't have that power. Why because he
took it to Colorado. And then two you have this
this this just reality check, right, reality check. There's a

(45:01):
whole segment of white folks out here who just absolutely
not only don't care about you are your sons, Dionne,
but they'll make a mockery of them.

Speaker 4 (45:11):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
And to me, that's all the more reason why our
talents must go, our resources, our money, our economics, our politics,
everything must go through the tribe, through the Black community,
through it first and foremost our dollars. It has to
because one, they're not gonna respect us if we check out.

(45:36):
This is not We're not we're not asking them, We're
not begging for respect. I'm saying, without a power structure
that commands and demands respect, they're gonna continuously play with
us like this. They're gonna continuously run these narratives. They're
gonna continuously disrespect us, continuously mock us as they make
money off of us. That's the thing. They making money

(45:57):
off of us. They're making money off of them at Colorado, right,
But it's all a part of the same ecosystem. I
know that student wasn't from Colorado. I get that, But
I'm saying that's all a part of the same ecosystem.
If they can't see that, then I don't know what
to tell them.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
It's so interesting because I hear a lot of people say,
you know, put it back into black, put it back
into black, And I agree one hundred percent. But things
like I know, we are not in the best relationship
with what's that man named that I ain't getting right now,
the man from Friday Ice Cube. But he created a
whole basketball team and people laughed at him. Then you

(46:35):
know why I've been because the idea we've been conditioned
to believe that when black folks do stuff. Now, don't
get me wrong, just like any other community. We always
be like, Haitians, just don't Jamaican's just on Caribbeans, Africans,
the black may we all be like niggas, don't nigga.
We always say that, But then when we do have something,

(46:55):
like when we build something like I think he built
that Basketball Association, And when it first came out and
he had the idea of it, people laughed at it.
People laughed at it so much so where it was like,
you know, that could never be a thing, and it
never made the NBA feel threatened or hurt, you know

(47:22):
what I'm saying, Like by the fact that he created
this thing that gave black athletes an opportunity in a
way that they would be protected, not how they are
when they go to the NBA or all those other
major sports. Yeah, I just feel like we automatically believe,

(47:46):
Like I'm with you on that, Ben, I believe that
it should go through black people.

Speaker 3 (47:48):
We believe there's a lot of black folks who believe
white man's water is colder, the grass is greener.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
I told you if it was, if it wasn't, if
it wasn't for my beliefs and my understandings and my
heart and my soul.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
I would have shut them jive right over to the money.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
Then I would have did something strange for a piece
of change, because the stability.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
Means a lot of people money.

Speaker 1 (48:13):
You swing some money in front of somebody's face, they
start speaking that language, they'll start doing those things. They'll
start disrespecting the community that helped them grow, that birth them.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
They will.

Speaker 3 (48:26):
Absolutely, so absolutely, I'm sorry, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (48:31):
Back, No, that was nothing, was gonna go ahead.

Speaker 3 (48:33):
Oh, Because this is what I'm working on this week.
I don't know if I'm appreachable. I'm gonna do a
video about it. I don't know. Maybe I just tweet
about it and call it today. But that's because in
order to be successful in an evil system, you start
doing evil things. What does it even mean to be

(48:54):
successful in a system where you have to participate and
be complicit with so many different layers of just wrongness,
doing other people wrong, grifting? You know, we live in
a system that, really, if we pause and ask ourselves

(49:15):
a question, what is it that we're willing to do
to be successful in a system that is designed structurally
designed to extract and exploit and to harm. And so
that's why so many people black folks are willing and
I'm not. Of course, this isn't just Germane to black people.

(49:38):
It's obviously Germane to every single person on the face
of this planet. And how much do we want to
be successful? What are we willing to give up of
our integrity, of our person, of our being in order
to get the bag? And with that there, the more
you're willing to give up to get the bag. It

(50:00):
literally translates as, especially if you're a black person, it
translates as what are you willing to give up of
your blackness, of your history, of your culture, of your tribe.
What are you willing to reject? And then it does
trickle all the way down to laughing when other people
try something mocking. Now, I'll mock ice Cube over the
Platinum Plan because that was just politically naive and tom foolery.

(50:24):
But what he was trying to do with the Basketball League,
I get it, And why not, like literally, why not
why not offer something? Why not be an alternative? Why
not offer a different lane? But then it still comes
back to all the same questions that I started off with,
what are you willing to do to be successful in
an evil system? And I think we got to reprogram

(50:46):
ourselves and start being okay with saying I don't have
I don't have to secure the bag. I gotta feed
my kids. Yeah, but I don't have to secure the
bag by any means.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
Necessari No, And it shouldn't have to be that way
for us.

Speaker 1 (50:59):
But we shouldn't have to keep saying that, like I
gotta we gotta do all of this to secure a bag,
to make sure that we got just because we have
a more and people want to label it as a
progressive or a left or whatever, it's the right thinking
now because I could be aside, I could be on
some of the left and some of the even in

(51:21):
office right now, some of the left or some of
the progressive, some of whoever however they identify, they.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
Be wrong too.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
So just if you're on the right side of thinking,
and we have to be penalized for that, not only
because you're on the right side of thinking. We're black
and we're doing and we're on the right side of
thinking we're black, especially on this show, black immigrant, products
of immigrants and LGBTQ A plus all on here and

(51:48):
then love the Lord. It don't make no sense, and
nan nobody.

Speaker 3 (51:53):
They like what they choose your struggle, like it or
not choose your struggle because it's too many.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
We only got we only got room from one over here,
and we're all like, this is what it looks like.

Speaker 3 (52:05):
This is what.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
Unity looks like on the right side of things.

Speaker 1 (52:10):
I can't speak for the LGBTQ at A plus community,
but that is in the black community. I cannot speak
for all immigrant communities, but I know that I am
a product of one and was raised right as that
in America. I can't speak as a religious leader, but
also somebody who is a political science person who taught.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
As an educator, that's Benjamin P. Dixon. People are looking like,
how is this possible?

Speaker 1 (52:39):
But we can be on the right side of things
understanding each other do on the right side, but they
do not. We In everything that we know, somebody is
doing greatness. All of the activists that we know that
happened to get on a mainstream level or a popular
level have either passed away or moved a way way

(53:00):
for the country after they felt like they've done all that.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
You can do that part.

Speaker 1 (53:08):
And then there are some that have never been recognized
until maybe one hundred years later twenty years later when
somebody says, this is the actual person that did this,
this person was the first person to do this.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
The other day, I know this is not even such
a the other day.

Speaker 1 (53:21):
I just want to let you know how much America
still has to get themselves right, and how much YouTube
is exactly who we think it is. YouTube started about
I want to say, twenty years ago, twenty.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
Five years ago, twenty five easily.

Speaker 1 (53:40):
They just celebrated that, right, And the first black video
that was uploaded to YouTube was Guapoly's Closer.

Speaker 2 (53:53):
Closer to Mine.

Speaker 3 (53:56):
You had to remind that was the first.

Speaker 1 (54:01):
Literally, let me go and yes, google it because I
saw this the other day and I think it came
from YouTube themselves as recognizing like that's such a great
like such a great thing, and I'm like, makes sense.
Systemically everything is literally systemically anti black, but has made
some progress in some ways. So y'all still singing Guapol,

(54:29):
y'all still singing Closer. It was like yesterday that song
just came out. But just to know that that was
the first black video uploaded to YouTube, that tells you
the world we live in. So imagine when there were
black people who tried to get on there and start
talking like politics. I ain't talking about people who were
doing the you know, how to's and diys and all

(54:51):
that other stuff. I'm talking when they started to come
on here and start talk politics like us, like us.

Speaker 3 (54:57):
Yeah no, because it reminds me of all of the structural,
the structural barriers to entry that that people have. Black
Let me and when I say people, I want to
go down the list. Black people overwhelmingly did not have
the infrastructure or the resources to break in into the

(55:20):
YouTube world early. It was the cost. And I know
this because I've been I've been on I've been on
YouTube for at least twelve of those twenty five years,
and I've been a student of YouTube, like I studied it,
I watched it. I saw the changes. I remember the
very first app, the very first YouTube app on the

(55:42):
very first iPhone. Right, that's how I and so I've
seen them, and you're right, it was not a space
that was populated by anyone black originally. And there's another
group of people who has been very hard to get
poor people, working class people, which black people are overwhelmingly

(56:02):
a majority of, like well, I can't say majority of,
but as a percentage of black people. Most black people
are in the working poor. Let's just get That's what
I'm trying to say.

Speaker 1 (56:10):
That's what it's sorry, it's want to be clear. It
was Guapway's Closer was the YouTube's first black.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
Music video on the on the app.

Speaker 1 (56:21):
But I'm laughing about that because it came out in
two thousand and one and it wasn't uploaded there until
two thousand and five.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
They don't encourage us.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
To get on these apps then even then, yeah, wow,
they don't encourage us to get on these apps.

Speaker 2 (56:35):
But when we do get on them.

Speaker 3 (56:38):
And say, I mean, but same thing they take and replicate, right,
same thing that happened with all the dance crazes, same
thing that happened with with just hip hop dance period.
And you look at how the algorithm took it, took
it to China, and China took it and like everywhere
you look, like every video from China for like five
years was nothing but them replicating black Cold. But then

(57:01):
we're left out of it systemically, like economically, we're left
out of it, and and that has been the case.
That's the same reason. And I'm gonna keep be hundered
with y'all Like y'all, this is a very intersectional show.
Y'all know I'm gonna give these cobyats because I'm about
to go I'm about to say some stuff that's gonna
sound like I'm not intersectional. But you got to realize
when you have one community that is structurally extracted from

(57:27):
on every single level, on every single issue. Am My frozen.

Speaker 4 (57:35):
No, you.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
Keep talking. YouTube, didn't like what you were saying, but
keep keep preaching.

Speaker 3 (57:43):
So but but but really really think about this, Rebecca,
and everything that we do.

Speaker 4 (57:51):
It is they will sample us, they will replicate us,
they will make money off of us.

Speaker 3 (57:58):
Then they will literally come to our neighborhoods and sell
us back our own products speak while taking our money
out of our community. See, I got more solidarity than
a lot of black folks would like for me to have.
I got solidarity with brown folks. I got solidarity with

(58:18):
Asian folks, I got solidarity with white folks. But look here,
I got solidarity with a rats. I said just like
that because that's how we say it in our community.
But when every restaurant in our community that is selling
us back our own type of food ain't black, but
it's run by our a rapt friends. When every beauty salon,

(58:39):
not beauty salon, but beauty supply store in every single
black community across this country is not owned, not even
a portion owned by Black folks, but it's overwhelmingly owned
by our Chinese neighbors. Right when we see this structuring
every dance that we come up with. Hell, it even

(58:59):
goes us to social media.

Speaker 5 (59:01):
Black Twitter was literally cannibalized, digested by Elon Musk and
regurgitated into this magnamusinformation machine. They use every one of
our tactics, they use every one of our methodologies in
order to get Donald Trump in power.

Speaker 3 (59:18):
What are they doing. They are taking and synthesizing, crushing
black soul, and they're taking it and making money off
of it. And they've been doing it since time immemorial. Listen,
I love every community, and that make a lot of
my friends upset because maybe I shouldn't love them so much,
but I do. I'm gonna tell y'all one thing, We're
gonna take our own back. We're gonna take it back,
and in us taking back what is ours, We're gonna

(59:41):
help y'all get blessed too. Y'all get blessed. But y'all
not gonna keep getting blessed while taking from us. Y'all
gonna get blessed because we gonna bless ourselves, and then
the residuals will spill over the y'all.

Speaker 2 (59:53):
As they do with us. Well, they don't even do that, But.

Speaker 1 (59:59):
That's a great one that you made the whole structure
that we've made as black Twitter. And then so much
showed that the original owner or the previous owner of
Twitter CEO of Twitter had created a space just dedicated
to black Twitter within the office and then let the
people go home and you know, continue to construct the
black Twitter space, because that's how Twitter functioned.

Speaker 2 (01:00:22):
From black Twitter.

Speaker 1 (01:00:25):
The formula was then, like you said, Ben disintegrated shut down.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
As soon as Elon must changed it to X. He
took down the He took pictures of the.

Speaker 1 (01:00:39):
Black Twitter shirts and the corner in the office or
the section in the office and said he immediately will
be shut down.

Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
Everybody who works needs to come right back to the office.

Speaker 1 (01:00:50):
The clothing the merchandise said hey, now he took that
away and then he replaced it like you said with Ben,
because I want I'm repeating this because I want you
guys to understand, he replaced all of that that was
actually been official for the space and replaced it with
hate language, misinformation, maga, racist words, flying off, sex offenders,

(01:01:16):
being able to say whatever the hell they want in
that space. Lgbty plus community being attacked every single day,
Immigrant community being lied on ice.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
Being able to use their accounts.

Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
To promote hate, make dangerous accusations, the White House leveraging
their Maga cult, their Maga Nazis on their official pages

(01:01:53):
on the Internet, using again the formula that was supposed
to be commune for us, and white folks stole it.
And we were still in the space telling them you
stole that, But come on in, it's okay, it's all right,
And now they anything that You can't tell me that

(01:02:14):
anybody in the space right now that works within politics,
that makes comments about politics or any political situation that's
happening within the administration that speaks against it, and it's
a black person, I can guarantee you.

Speaker 2 (01:02:28):
There's only a few that haven't been hit.

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
But I can guarantee you on your social media accounts
or anything like that, you've been throttled so hard, you've
been shadow bands so hard. Your your content has been
reported as nobody's business. But then you will go and
watch white folks saying nigg nigganigga naga niga with the

(01:02:51):
hard er and saying that that is for educational purposes
on the video, and they continue to have that hate groups,
hate groups literally planning out the next mass murders and
their conscience possibly publicly publicly.

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
And this is where we are right now.

Speaker 1 (01:03:13):
And that's not to build community, safe community. It's to
be harmful, continue to be harmful danger. That's not fear mongering.
When we say this again, that's exactly what is happening.
How much more do you want us to look at
these people and be like, it's not that bad. It's

(01:03:34):
not it's not that bad. People really gonna go hungry,
people gonna be homeless, People losing jobs, y'all still don't
remember about them federal workers, y'all don't remember that just
happened a few months ago. Again, we're still in the
first one hundred days. We just reached one hundred days
a day. Let's not forget them federal workers that are

(01:03:55):
out of a job. A woman talking about how I
wish I found that testimony of that woman who was
crying thentil we can play it before we get out
of here, so I can tell you it's a good
wrap up for the first one hundred days because we
quickly because so many things were happening, forgot about the
federal workers because they're now working jobs like this. One

(01:04:17):
woman was saying she was happy she got and I
want to say, it was a retail job. And when
you think retail, it's I'm talking about a mall job
or whatever. I think she's working like food or something.
I'm not sure, but she's working with retail job. And
she's like, I'm so upset, but I'm actually, like she said,
she's so mad about what happened to her, but she's

(01:04:38):
thankful she got a job, because there are others that
were fired who still can't find a job. Their lives
were flipped upside down overnight, overnight because Donald Trump deportations
are happening like nobody's business. A Haitian women just died
in Florida in the hands. I want to say it

(01:04:59):
was in Florida. Let me look to make sure. But
a Haitian woman just died in Ice under ice being
detained by Ice and Donald Trump was telling them to
go harder when they're deporting. Make them feel it because
we're sending them somewhere else. They may never see their family,

(01:05:21):
hear from their family again. We're sending them to places
where it's going to be every it's going to be
brutal for them.

Speaker 2 (01:05:28):
Remember going town to obey. He literally made that promise.

Speaker 1 (01:05:32):
He promised to not send to send the ones that
are not who have less offenses, who are not considered dangerous.
He wouldn't send them over there. That man as soon
as he bought them bads, he looked at he said,
I ain't say that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:47):
I never said that. Mind take backs. That's exactly what.

Speaker 3 (01:05:53):
Yeah, that's exactly what.

Speaker 2 (01:05:54):
And it was in Florida. The woman who was held
in but I sense fabuus. She died.

Speaker 1 (01:06:03):
On Friday at the Broward Transitional Center. She was being
hill since February. We are going into.

Speaker 3 (01:06:08):
May, my goodness, and she died. Do you have a
do you have a link for that? If you don't
have a handy, that's and that's what they celebrate, Rebecca.
This this is the thing that that they get joy.
This is why, this is this is why I'm doing. Okay,

(01:06:28):
let me tell you why I'm doing okay because I
paused for a couple of years. I disappeared for a
couple years, and I've been disappearing here and there. But
in my disappearance, I've been taking time to really think
about this stuff. And I realized we're dealing with spiritual
wickedness in high places. We're dealing with demons that became

(01:06:49):
flesh and dwelt amongst us. I'm we're dealing We're dealing
with with people who literally get joy out of literal
harm they can calls other people. We're dealing with people
who celebrate when black people are killed and then turn
around and try to rip justice away from a young

(01:07:10):
black man who use who had to use violence to
defend himself. Right, We're dealing with people who don't care
about the hypocrisy. The hypocrisy is the point. We're dealing
with folks who literally are the antithesis, the exact opposite
of everything that Jesus said. And then it dawned on me.
I said, oh wait, this is the anti Christ system.

(01:07:33):
This is really like we're dealing with a high key
evil that has to be identified as such. And when
I started thinking about it, in that lens. It started
making a lot more sense, and then it made me
feel a little bit better because as much as y'all know,
we fight, because Rebecca, you've been in this fight for
a long time. I stay in these fights. Matter of fact,
I'm fighting as we talk. I'm fighting on Twitter right
now as we speak. So we fight. But I honestly

(01:07:55):
realize they not just fighting us. They fighting with the Lord.
They're fighting with someone, They're fighting with something that's on
a whole nother level. So the reason that I could
look at these first one hundred days and be okay
is because number one, I'm fighting, Rebecca, You fighting like
we in this thing, right They coming out you we
we we They got files on you and me literally,

(01:08:18):
you know, like they got.

Speaker 2 (01:08:21):
Our names own files.

Speaker 3 (01:08:23):
And when our name comes up, doors closed because people
know about us. Right. So number one, I'm okay because
we we in this fight and we're giving it as
much as we can with as little as we got.
So I'm okay with that because if it fell, if
it falls apart, folks gonna know that there was that
little short ball ahead Negro, and the there was that

(01:08:47):
Haitian sensation, Queen Rebecca. They gonna remember our entire squad
that we did our part. So I'm okay because we fighting.
But two, I'm okay because it's battling ours. It belongs
to the little.

Speaker 2 (01:09:00):
And that's the good place is ever to wrap it.

Speaker 1 (01:09:03):
And I will tell you because it is the first
what's up to our DJ He did say hi, I
meant to say, he did say hello to you guys,
love yamena.

Speaker 2 (01:09:10):
He has to work.

Speaker 1 (01:09:12):
But before we get out of here, I wanted to say, like,
for my biggest thing. Of course, you guys know what's
in an immigrant, it's immigration. But that attack on black education,
that attack on black education really bothers me. And it's
literally not only the funding, the accreditation and we already
now we already have problems with that. With that anyway,

(01:09:33):
and add a lot of our HBC US rest another
conversation for another day. But the attacks on our education,
the attacks on us, the attacks on the affordability for
black black students to go to school, that bothers me
so bad. Because of Florida A and M University, I am, yeah,

(01:09:57):
I am. I know y'all hate it when i' say it,
But because of that university, it helped me love myself
in my blackness as a Haitian in America even more.
I know that made that's causing a lot of the
people who used AOS as a hate group, who use
FBA as a hate group, they pissed off. But in actuality,

(01:10:20):
all of the black groups and things of that have
loved on me in this country as far as outside
of just you know what they taught Black Americans and
what they taught Haitians and how they want us to
be divided diaspora rewards.

Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
Florida A and M.

Speaker 1 (01:10:35):
That institution never told me your Haitian, so get the
hell out. They told me, look at your blackness. Look
how amazing you are. I want you to learn more
about that, about who you are in this world as
a black woman and your history in this world, because
I guarantee you Florida A and M University had that
for me, had that from the African boy from London

(01:10:56):
who came to the school, had something for us to
learn about ourselves, hone in about ourselves and for us
to love ourselves. And they're trying to attack those institutions
that help us with that.

Speaker 2 (01:11:12):
That bothers me so much.

Speaker 3 (01:11:16):
Go ahead, Ben, go ahead, Ben, go ahead, Ben because Rebecca,
it's the realization that it's the realization that Number one,
they never meant to play by the rules that they established.
In the first place. They established rules, we won the game.

(01:11:37):
Now they're changing the rules, which takes me back to
the question, what does it mean to be successful in
the evil system? Because they can always change the rules
on you at any minute and you be out there
looking crazy. But that's a whole other conversation. Number One,
they never meant to play by the rules. Number two,
these salt teams help me, Holy ghosts. They mean business.

(01:11:58):
They're all encompassing. They're not gonna leave any residual of
blackness untouched. They're coming after every aspect of it. If
they could treat black people in the United States of
America the way Benjamin and Yao who treated Palestine, they
would do it, because they already started doing it. They
did it in Tulsa, they did it in the Philadelphia
Movement when they bombed them. They did it in Rose

(01:12:20):
with they didn't Camena, Georgia. They did it in more
places that we can't even recite off on top of
our memory. So if they could actively do to us today,
what Benjamin and Yahoo did to the Palestinians. They would
do it. And I think the reason that bothers you
so much is because you look at it and you're like, oh,
they're being so thorough. They're not gonna leave anything unturned,

(01:12:40):
any rock untouched. And they're coming after the very institutions
we had to come up with in order to survive
their racism in the first place.

Speaker 2 (01:12:48):
That's the craziest part.

Speaker 1 (01:12:49):
And they're looking at it's like, what do you mean
you created that because we wouldn't let you at our
institution since when, since forever, since forever.

Speaker 2 (01:13:00):
And then we made one and we made it great.

Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
We made institutions all across this nation and we made
them great. And so many of the greats have come
from those institutions, You and I, so many other people.
And they want for us to not have the option
to go to those schools again, taking away the funding

(01:13:25):
for it, taking away the affordability, making sure that they
have problems with the accreditation, all threatening.

Speaker 2 (01:13:31):
Oh on the next episode, Nah, I'm just gonna do it.
Let's be clear on it.

Speaker 3 (01:13:36):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:13:37):
The Black Museum in DC, come on, undoing, taking artifacts away.
I think they sense have been able to salvage the
artifacts and things like that. But when that Black Museum opened,
that was something for us in this nation. That was
an actual Black American museum. Now again, it had everything

(01:14:00):
in there from music to first of whatever to civil
rights conversations and artifacts, and they had everything in there.
And the head of it has since went on a
leave and nobody knows where they at. Haven't made any

(01:14:21):
comments on nothing. So imagine what the threat may have been, right,
imagine what that was. Libraries have Now I gotta go
because I got another thing to do with my goodness,
it's so good right here.

Speaker 2 (01:14:35):
Libraries have taken away books.

Speaker 3 (01:14:38):
You don't that.

Speaker 2 (01:14:41):
What happened?

Speaker 3 (01:14:41):
If you don't put that r in that berry go?

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
Oh library?

Speaker 3 (01:14:45):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (01:14:46):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (01:14:47):
I've been fighting with my kids over that for the
last week.

Speaker 2 (01:14:50):
And you know, you know, you know why people ain't
from here. We learned it as we can say. The library.

Speaker 1 (01:14:56):
You do that though, February February the library, but no,
it will give me the library, but the library in there.

Speaker 2 (01:15:06):
They took away our books.

Speaker 1 (01:15:08):
They've taken away anything that has for us to celebrate ourselves,
for any they took away any knowledge for us to
recognize that they've stolen from us, that what they're telling
us is true is not true. They've taken away anything
that recognizes that America wasn't the first to ever do it.
They name ain't soldier boy, they ain't the first to

(01:15:29):
do none of this. We were, we created, we did,
We didn't steal as they always try to make us
in the system be criminals and stealers. And the whole
time it was them whole time. Whole time it was American.
And I ain't talking about the originators. I'm talking about
the colonized, the original colonizers of America.

Speaker 2 (01:15:52):
It was them.

Speaker 1 (01:15:55):
So, man, I wanted to go into watching the movie
Centers Man, but we may have to do that another time.

Speaker 2 (01:16:03):
But we're at the end of the show.

Speaker 1 (01:16:06):
I gotta go ahead and do a recording at one pm,
because you're girls, I'm trying to do work, right, I'm
trying to work.

from Columbia University has been released. Let's listen to him

(01:16:35):

Speaker 1 (01:16:37):
We will not hear anyone because our fight is a

fight for humanity.

citizenship interview.

Speaker 2 (01:17:31):
They arrested him at the interview, and now he is freed.

Speaker 1 (01:17:35):
There we have other uh people who have been detained
in some similar ways. So it's great to see this
young man freed. But it's also great to see him

then William Moore, a long time UH supporter, did y'all
know about the new Trump executive order where he's using
the law firms he extorted to represent police officers. No,
I didn't know that was a specific use, but I
had I knew it was gonna be for something evil.

(01:20:03):
He has Donald Trump has secured over a billion dollars
worth of free legal representation from law firms all across
this country. And the first thing, he's using the forest
to help police officers who's accused of killing black folks.
Black folks, we're gonna have to lay extra low. I
don't mean not being their faces. I mean, just extra
careful in everything that we do because now they have

(01:20:26):
they have the whole full force of the federal government,
the President of the United States behind them to be
able to get away with killing us.

Speaker 1 (01:20:34):
Oh yeah, please, let's let's let's be real. Also the
defense that they want to pull black folks out so
that they can start targeting black folks. I'm just saying,

the situation is. I just I really do, I really

old are you this year?

I'm going to be thirty five?

Speaker 3 (01:21:44):
So can we get thirty five people to send Rebecca
thirty five dollars each before her birthday month starts? Because
I'm fright you can use it before the fifteenth. You
probably used it by the first. Absolutely thirty five people
to send Rebecca thirty five dollars for her birthday. Send

five dollars, send them five dollars, send ten dollars, send
