What you're given today.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Is getting set. It's it's uh, you know, man, kind
of levels of gray here but.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Old ma'am, the skin is still giving the original skin.
It's just salt and pepper beard.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah, well, well that's what they say is you're rocking
the fam you shirt.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Absolute.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
We watched the video this morning washing dishes, and yeah, man,
we gotta we gotta talk about that for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Mm hmmm mm hmm and as we should, Yes we should.
Whoever is watching right now, make sure you head over
to the page. Interestingly enough, that video isn't doing too well,
but it's a quick draw. It's literally talking about what's
happening at FAMU right now and how it's politically tied

(02:02):
to what is going on in this current administration, particularly
in Florida, and what they've already been gunning for, which
is our black knowledge, our history, our universities. And you
guys already know one of the most the most notable
and you know been This ain't even a time for
you to mention your school, but one of the most

(02:24):
notable HBCUs, which is black colleges.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
And a warning.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
That absolutely through this segment, i'mna just need you to
just sit right there. I got you. I promise you're
gonna have.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
An I got nothing but love for fam you.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Absolutely, you're married to one. See he's a rattler, and
you know, so.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
We howne it down with y'all. We got y'all absolutely,
and I believe it.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
And in this moment right now, as you know, Fam
You is the number one public HBCU in the nation.
It is one of the most notable university when it
comes to HBCUs one of because there's so many of them.
But people know Fam You. And just like in this administration,
what's happening right now, Donald Trump, in order to make
sure that he's sending out warning signs to other groups

(03:12):
of people, He's going to find the most prominent, the
most popular in that minority group of people to make
an example out of. When it comes to immigrants, and
he wanted to make sure he attacked black immigrants. He
went for the most hated group amongst the immigrants, and
that was Haitians. When it comes to bodily autonomy, he
made sure that he affected women. But who got affected

(03:33):
the most Black women were watching them lose their lives.
Just recently, a woman right lost your life because they
because of the laws here in Georgia, she had to
keep a fetus inside of her a one who's already
braindad by the way, they kept the fetus inside of her.
So and now we're looking at when it comes to education,
which has always been there's always been an attack on education,

(03:55):
but we're seeing it that it was a threat in
Donald Trump's first and now we're seeing things play out,
and it has hit our universities, our beloved universities, and
they started with the most prominent one to make an example.
They also want to go and make sure, Oh you
thought that we wouldn't get this, but we did this week,

(04:17):
this week. You know what, Ben, you got a few moments.
I don't even want to break it down. I think
my video can break it down even better. You got
a few moments to just watch the video. It ain't
tomorrow four minutes. Go ahead and run that till the
people can get a gist about what's going on right now.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
You've already did the work. You already did the work.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Let's take it on.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
You know, it's a sad day when Rebecca Zor gets online.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
To speak about Florida A and M University, the most
prestigious university HBCU in the nation. When I get on
here to talk about my alma mater in any other
way than to give it any praises. Today, I can
come on here here and say that FAM, you got
it wrong. Today, in the middle of graduation week, the

(05:05):
Florida A and M University Board of Trustees voted by
a slim seven to five margin to make Marva Johnson
the next president of FAM. You let me say that
again so it's clear. They chose a Republican ronald the
Santa's appointee, a corporate lobbyist with zero higher education leadership
experience to run one of the most prestigious, historically black

(05:27):
colleges in this university. No HBCU background, no experience leading
a university, no deep ties to our culture, our community,
or our fight, and they.

Speaker 5 (05:37):
Put her in charge.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
And as a proud graduate of Florida A and M University,
an institution that molded my voice, sharpened my politics, and
deepened my pride and being black, I'm pissed off, I'm disgusted,
and I refuse to pretend that this is anything other than.

Speaker 5 (05:53):
A blatant political takeover.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
They picked Marva Johnson, y'all, and with that pick they
spit in our faith, every student, alum, faculty member, and
the ancestor who built.

Speaker 5 (06:03):
The university into what it is today.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
It's compliance and I think it's coward it's cowardice.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Close them doors. Ushers closed the doors.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
Close the doors now, and let's keep it real. Because
Marvara Johnson was installed, she was planted, she wasn't selected.
The board didn't listen to us. They ignored us. They
disrespected listen. They made us think that we had a
voice by letting us see everything that was going on,
by letting us be a part of the conversation.

Speaker 5 (06:35):
People protested.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
They ignored us, and that's disrespectful because they knew who
they were putting in place, a safe pick for the state,
a puppet that answers to the powers that be, somebody
that won't push back when.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
Tallahassee comes knocking.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
Okay, this was strategic, calculated, it was dirty. They dropped
her lane and her name in at the last minute,
and they used the graduation to kind of press what
was going on, to soften the blow, think that we
wouldn't get it. This is a paragraph in a state
of Florida, my hometown, where black history is currently being
a RACEDI dismantled governor, the santus is like literally declared

(07:16):
war on education, and they handed fam You over to
one of the Santus' own. They know who she is
and what she represents. And let me be clear, I
don't care what she says in the press conference. I
don't care how many times she uses the word equity
or access or says fam you incorrectly. I don't care
if she has on an orange and green suit. This

(07:37):
is infiltration. Marva Johnson was not chosen to help us
or serve us. I'm telling y'all, she was there to
neutralize us. She's near to neutralize us. I spent my
life defending fam You, and I still will with pride,
but I'm questioning what the hell is going on over there.
The board had a chance to do it right by
the students, the alumni, the legacy, and they threw it away.

(07:59):
They ignore the protest, they dismissed the voices, and they
mocked us in a way. They didn't just ignore the
will of the people. They made a mockery of us.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Y'all.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
What's happening at FAMU is not isolated. This is not random.
This is actually the blueprint of what Donald Trump wants
in this nation. Handing over our university to these insiders
who lack qualifications. Today's fam you tomorrow. It could be
Howard Spelman, North Carolina A and t any one of
our HBCUs can be next if we do not stay

(08:33):
alert at what just happened. To the trustees who voted
for our they this is betrayal. We ain't never gonna forget,
and believe me, we ain't never gonna forget. To the
students and the alumni who are watching this disaster unfold,
don't let them make you feel like you gotta be silent,
because this is not normal.

Speaker 5 (08:50):
This is not okay. This is a hostile take over.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
I ain't gonna be quiet, Yeah, I know I won't,
and I'm not gonna be respectful when the state hijacks
are sold my university. This was wrong. This was wrong.

Speaker 5 (09:04):
Let's be clear.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
Florida A and M University sitting on the highest of
seven hills in Tallahassee will forever be my university. Fam
you today, Fam You tomorrow, and fam you forever. But
Fam You is not for Marva Johnson.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
And let's be clear. Excellent work, Rebecca, thank you so much.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
I'm getting you that image now. But honestly, it's really
tough to really, I ain't gonna lie to you the
way that this broke my heart. I couldn't. I don't
even know what really to say, Ben, because they came

(09:57):
after fam you and and there there are details of
this that I did not fully add. They came after
fam you in the week of leading up to Marva Johnson,
who was not even a candidate for president. I want
to be clear. There the last second, last second, right

(10:18):
the day before they threw her in, last second, they
put in someone else on the board of trustees that day,
and then they put her in as a candidate. This
is all. It's a treat strategic move, you know how
it is. While we got a lot of mess going
on our HBCUs for decades from the history of our HBCUs,

(10:39):
we understand, we know. However, I know that it is
very extensive the title UH like to get to the
title of president at.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Fanast this lady rolled in.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
Nobody ever has ever seen or heard about her. No spirit,
they protested, they were all black alumni, were traveling to
the city. They stood out there. The children didn't go
to class. They said no. They got on social media
and said no, here is one of the kickers for me.

(11:17):
FAMU has never been We know, like people don't really
involve themselves or are open or are privy to the
process of the presidential pick. You kind of just wake up.
Here's what we have. We kind of hear about it,
but we let them do your thing. We have our opinions.
But they even made it so that it was a

(11:37):
whole shenanigan. Four days this week, they said, join in
on the process. Here's a zoom linkue. Take a look
at who's speaking next. They posted her two days ago.
There was not one comment that said yes to her.
Not one. They said, family knows better, but thank you
for letting us be a part of the process and

(11:58):
hearing our voices. He said no. They deleted. They deleted
the post. They deleted the post because it had so
many things to say about her that were we weren't
saying anything negative. We don't know you, but we know you,

(12:18):
we know where you're from. You are Ron Decantis appointee,
the anti DEI, the anti black, the anti HBCU, the
anti Black history governor of Florida, the guy that thinks
everything is woke because woke equates to blackness, and you
brought an appointee from Ronald DeSantis and to you opened

(12:42):
the doors of FAM. You to the ops, to the ops,
to to quiet us down, to hold government guns against
our black heads, and to show the other HBCUs that

(13:03):
if they challenge their representatives, their governors there whoever's just
know We'll Packer put.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Out a video.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
I don't know if you could find that, and I
mean you could play this video as well. Oh my
camera's on. I didn't even see that because I was
just going in. I apologize, y'all, but just go ahead
and play the video. Will Packer didn't speak if you
can find that as well. I just really want you
guys to get a gist of how much pushed back,
even from our major alums with money, who offered up,

(13:35):
who offered up to give whatever they could. Please don't
do this, FAM. And for those who are saying this
is not political. For those who are saying this is
not political, how dare you when this is actually a
part of the blueprint, Go ahead and roll that beautiful
being footage. I'll get you the image.

Speaker 6 (13:52):
High profile stakeholders like Will Packer let a barrage of
questions about how Johnson's political affiliations would not get in
the way of advancing alum Gabrielle Albert thinks Johnson did
not handle a crowd well enough to win her over
as an outside candidate.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
An outside perspective can always be helpful.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
However, community is important.

Speaker 7 (14:11):
One of our highest ever giving funders came out of
his day.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
His name's on amphitheater.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
You don't think he might take that all. You don't
think people will stop funding.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
That's going to cripple the university.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
Is it worth it?

Speaker 6 (14:24):
The student reaction earlier in the day Wednesday was similar.
Elijah Hooks says he suspects Johnson is the front runner
for the job, even though the community has pushed back significantly.

Speaker 7 (14:34):
Famy wants a leader that represents us, who is not
a political ploy or someone who does not have experienced
in higher education, but someone who represents the true values
of what our mother FAMU was founded on in eighteen
eighty seven. That's love and charity, And unfortunately members of
her party and members of people who are aligned with
her don't represent the true values of love and charity.

Speaker 6 (14:51):
Fam You's last finalist, COO, doctor Donald Palm, will have
his final interview and meet and greet Thursday.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Well they have that.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
Oh they had that, and it didn't matter. That person
has been running in the running, qualified, doing all the things.

Speaker 5 (15:07):
And no.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
Mm hmm, did we get that?

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Do we? You looking for the will?

Speaker 3 (15:17):
And also you know as you you get that footage,
did you hear? Clearly they're talking about Will Packer. His
name is on the building. He funded right one of
the buildings. So have our other people who are big
in name. They funded lots of buildings and things of
that sort. And to spit on the legacy of Famue. Yeah,

(15:40):
it's been in the face of us. We went to
that school, we go anything. You would think that they
they made a mockery out of us. Online, they invited
us into the process, deleted the woman's pictures after so
much pushback, reposted it the day she won, a few

(16:00):
minutes before, minutes before her winning. That means our voice
never had a chance. That means that there there was
a threat that was made to the university by the government.
There had to be because FAMI is not up for sale.
But to bring somebody in to the school. Yeah, they

(16:22):
are going to neutralize our blackness.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
That's the whole point. Rebecca I think I think you
hit it on the head. The only way to describe
this is infiltration. Infiltration is what you called it. And
they are infiltrating this country at every level, all the
way down to black colleges. And they've gotten somebody who's
highly unqualified, someone with no experience running anything but being

(16:48):
a voice for Ron DeSantis. And so what that's going
to allow them to do is now they're going to
just completely REI just invert, transform FAM You into a
far right wing machine. And they know that if they
can change the ethos, the character of HBCUs, if they
could change the character of FAM You, then they can

(17:10):
raise up a whole generation of black folks will be
just like a bunch of little Mava, Margas, Mago, Marvel
whatever it is. Right, Yeah, she ain't.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
Supposed to be there.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
We don't even want to mention her name.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
Full of evil. You see her, You don't even she
does press conferences, she does all these things, and it's
un like, this is unprecedented, This is not what we
stand for, and the fact that we stood for it
yesterday's embarrassment. I'm not gonna lie one thing about it.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
I can't.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
I won't respect the University because this was the Board
of Trustees, which is supposed to protect us. Uh. You know,
we got our We got our scandals amongst the board
of Trustees, amongst admissions, amongst you know, our campus activities department.
We have it all. But this right here was a
full betrayal. Five to seven two implants. People want to

(18:08):
talk about somebody being a plant. Marva is literally a plant.
She knows nothing about this, she knows nothing about black,
she knows she doesn't belong and she still pulled up
her wig in her eyes told me everything I needed
to know. Let's hear what Will Parker had to say.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Oh case, he's a cloud. I'm barring this off of
Rollard Barton Show, so it's gonna be a little bit
of rolling it.

Speaker 8 (18:33):
Here is with nine and students of Florida and M
University and a warning for all those who love and
support HBCUs.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
HBCUs are under attack.

Speaker 8 (18:44):
MAGA is trying to take over leadership at several of
our beloved institutions.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
Right now, fam, you is in the bullseye.

Speaker 8 (18:52):
Hear me loud and clear, right this very minute, A
group of activists Republicans are trying to put in the
highest position of power. Someone who is solidly and objectively
unqualified for her name is Marva Johnson.

Speaker 4 (19:07):
Fam you deserves better. Marvara Johnson has been named a finalist.

Speaker 8 (19:11):
For the Family Presidency by Florida Republicans who sit on
the Presidential Search Committee.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
Let me tell you a little bit about Marva Johnson.

Speaker 8 (19:18):
She is a career lobbyist with no experience in higher
education administration. Literally the same amount of higher education admin
experience as you or I zero.

Speaker 4 (19:30):
None. Now, this is not just about her being a
stoutch Republican.

Speaker 8 (19:34):
Everyone has a right to their own political affiliations. But
what we cannot allow is a hostile takeover by someone
who is aligned with a party that has loudly and
proudly espoused ideologies that attack diversity and diverse institutions, attack
equitable economics, and attack inclusive principles.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
If you're a woman over fifteen, these commercials get it off.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
But in you no, We'll Packer said it best, and
it's exactly what I said, because there's nothing else that
we can say. The facts are the facts. If you
if we just stick to the facts, you can see
how absolutely insane this is. But it is not outside
of what Donald Trump promised he was gonna do. That's right,
and what his followers, especially in the Southern States. We

(20:29):
got Georgia, the Texas, and Florida. We know they're going
to be so many things back to back. We're gonna
see them because you know, copycats of all of them
down through here. The attacks are going to happen, but
they want to make sure they're seen through no matter
what needs to be done. These black schools need black leaders.
But who are maga. That's what they believe because they're

(20:53):
going to They're getting paid to do all these things.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
She's a lobbyist for goodness sake.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
She's not for the better, for the good of the university.
She's not there to uplift the black students. We're gonna
see parents pull their children, especially first years, because listen,
my kid ain't going here. We're going to see kids
start to drop out. We're going to see children protests
going to class. They just got back to campus a

(21:23):
couple of years ago. They just are rebuilding the heart
of the university. The fact that they did this during
graduation also makes me look at them crazy. You thought
that nobody would want to come and check about this.
Then y'all thought that nobody would want to click on

(21:43):
that zoom link. And then when we got all involved
into the process, you took down the posts only of her.
Then you said that you were fairly posting her, and
she was the only one posted three times three. The
other candidates posted one.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
No matter how you.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
Push it to us, gave it to us, flipped it,
reversed it, dropped it down, brought it back up. We
didn't want the cranberry sauce. We didn't want it.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Recor, you have more coming up. You sound about like
my pastor and Pastor Robertson, he just be coming up
with these analogies. But I hear what you say. And
what's bad about this is that they know the power
of putting in a fake black person who can give
the appearance of blackness but then actively erase blackness. And

(22:40):
that's what Marva Marva Johnson is going to fami you
to do. She's going there to erase authentic blackness. And
then they're gonna start celebrating her fake blackness along with
Byron Donald's who wants to be governor of the state
of Florida. Right, they're gonna be replacing all of the authenticity.
It is blackness with maga blacks, and they're gonna turn

(23:04):
FAM you. But but see, here's my thing, and this
is what I was telling my wife and you all
are both on the same page here like in terms
of just not only the seriousness of it, but just
the heartbreak of it to see that the FAM, uh,
that the leadership of FAM went along with this. And
and again it's it's not your whole university. It's certainly

(23:25):
not the alumni. It's the board of trustees, who again
correct me if I wur own had a white Republican.
Republican added recently as well.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
It was a latina Latino but still white to Jason,
But yes.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
They added that person and then that person became one
of the deciding votes amongst others.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
It was this was not even like. This is not
even like three that like was something that was stirring up.
This is not They did it the day before they
put Marva Johnson in in the seat for a presidential candidate.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
Family and so they do it the day before, complete
and total disrespect. They are always going to have an
endless supply of black folks who are willing to sell
out blackness for a check. That's who Marva Johnson is.
That's who Byron Donald is. That's who all of these
black influences are. That's what the Hodge Twinks are. That's
what the Candice Owens is, That's what Officer Tatum is.

(24:27):
This is this these black people who have black skin,
but at the core of them, at the heart of them,
is whiteness and white supremacy. And she is going to
go in there to read write the history. My wife's
heart is broken about this. Well, I'm gonna be talking
to some of my some of my high school friends
who ended up going to FAM you about this later on.
But here's the thing, Rebecca, I think that you all

(24:47):
need to actively organize to not to just resist, not
to just resist, but to outlive her tenure. Yes, so
that you all can make a baseline right here, make
a mark right here of what FAM you was before
she came. And then you all, as a matter of ritual,

(25:09):
y'all connect with those students on that campus and as
a matter of ritual, just remind yourselves of what FAM
you was before this Maga takeover, so that when she
inevitably fails because she doesn't know what she's doing, she's incompetent.
She's not gonna last long because she's gonna end up
destroying things. You all just make sure that the true

(25:30):
soul of fam you outlives her tenure, so that when
she's gone, you all can restore family back to what
it was. Because I refuse, I refuse to sit back
and watch them take an HBCU and convert it into
a black MA.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
Absolutely absolutely, we're trying to figure out that right now.
All over my timeline, we're trying to figure out how
to mobilize. We're trying to figure out what to do next.
I'm not sure, but we are in the chats, we're
in our graduating class chats, we are dropping messages. We're
not sure. That's the thing been. The way they did
this was in such a way where.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
I'm gonna come back to this comment, by the way,
but go ahead, Well the.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
Way they did this, yes, please leave that coming up
so we can get back to it. But the way
they did this was in a way where it was
so abrupt, so quick. All of the routers are all
over the world, especially the alums, the alums that could
make it there were appalled at how they just dismissed
their voices and it was as if nothing you can

(26:27):
do about it. And so we're sitting here and we're
trying to figure out, Yes, we will take our money
from the school and things, but it will hurt the school.
But we're like, if we have to do that to
save the school, then so be it. So we're trying
to figure out those things and collectively mobilized to protect us,
to save us, and to protect the other universities. If

(26:48):
we got to take that bullet to the chat, we'll
do it for the other universities as well.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
You know, there's another university in Florida that Ron DeSantis
took over and averted it from being like a traditional
liberal arts school and then turn it into a MAGA
machine and ultimately destroyed it. And so he's already done

(27:13):
this to one universe. And that's why I want to
put this little coming back up from this Hot Sauce.
And I normally will just completely and entirely ignore people
like this, but Hot Sauce four or five six is
in the chat room saying, man, this is so exhausting.
Y'all find the new ways to be victims every day.
Shit is pathetic, man, the chances are they're either white

(27:36):
or black MAGA. Yeah, and if they're not, I still
don't care. Their opinion has no bearing on the significance
of this story because we've seen the agenda is to
destroy education around this country at every level. And the
only education that will remain will be education that is

(28:00):
structure to promote maga's fascism. And as we all know,
you got plenty of black folks going out here taking
checks from MAGA. So there's going to be a nice, diverse, equitable,
and inclusive fascism. They just don't want it to be
DEI for freedom and liberation and democracy. You know, if
you want to be a black person in MAGA, they'll

(28:20):
send you all kind of money. They'll give you an
entire university. Rebecca, yep, if you want to be a
Negro for MAGA, they will give you an entire university.
And you don't have no experience. Go back to this
other question, Listen, Larva Johnson is much easier than saying Marva.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
Larva Johnson, because lady, when were you like Marva, like,
what is that we should have known? We should have known?
And she came with contacts, hair drying and the Sahara desert.
You don't belong at family. The wind blows in such
a way that allows everyone's beautiful curls and naps and

(28:59):
blowout and braids, and you know, just the flow in
the wind. And she came there and that was as
if humidity was just riding with her, which is going
with the darkness, a cloud of and this just want
to get her eyes blue when she knows she a
black woman without blue eyes. She hates herself. She aligns

(29:19):
herself with whiteness, but she will never be white. So
while she props herself up amongst these black people she
is going at it ain't like she's doing this amongst
the white group of people. This is a black group
of people. And the ones that did vote for her,
we know your names, the ones that fought for us,
we know your names. This is not about y'all. We
know y'all said tendoes down for us. But the two

(29:41):
that did what they needed to do, the ones that
came out of nowhere. M don't even worry about it.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
It was New College, New College of Florida. New College
was the other universe. Let me play this real quick,
because I want you all to hear and make sure
you can hear it.

Speaker 9 (30:01):
But this is the university you're referring to is New
College of Florida, a small public liberal arts honors college
located in Sarasota. Established in nineteen sixty, it has long
been recognized for its progressive academic environment and emphasis on
student driven learning. In early twenty twenty three, Governor Ron

(30:21):
De Santis initiated a significant transformation of the institution by
appointing six conservative trustees to its board, including prominent figures
like Christopher Rufo. This move was part of a broader
effort to reshape the college into a classical liberal arts institution,
drawing comparisons to Hillsdale College, a conservative Christian college in Michigan.

(30:44):
The overhaul led to several notable changes, leadership changes. The
existing college president was dismissed and Richard Corcoran, a former
Florida House Speaker and education commissioner aligned with DeSantis, was
appointed as interim president. Curriculum and faculty adjustments, the college
eliminated its diversity Equity and Inclusion DEI office, banned the

(31:07):
use of personal pronouns in email signatures, and remove gender
studies programs. These actions prompted significant faculty turnover, with nearly
forty percent resigning academic direction. The institution sought four hundred
million dollars in state funding to support its transformation into
a world class classical liberal arts education institution, aiming to

(31:31):
increase enrollment and expand its programs. These developments have sparked
national debate, with supporters praising the return to traditional educational
values and critics expressing concern over academic freedom and the
politicization of higher education.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
So he's already done it, and listen to how many
people left, how many teachers. Forty percent of the teachers
left because they came in and you know, and here's
the funny thing. You didn't hear them say anything about
removing black history for because they didn't have any black
history at New College of Florida anyway. So now you
look what they came and said, let's go get the
negroes next, and they with the FAMI you and they're

(32:08):
going to do the exact same play. They've already replaced
the president, and then they're going to start changing the curriculum.
They're going to get rid of anything that has I mean,
just think of everything that they would have to destroy
to get rid of the diversity and the inclusion and
the equity that is at the bedrock of blackness. They're
going to fundamentally transform this university, are they going to try?
And I think Rebecca, you all and all of the

(32:29):
alumni around the country need to do everything to stop them.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
Yeah, No, we absolutely do. And I think that we
have to make sure that we make it. We are
the example. They've already made us an example. But how
are we going to handle it and how do we
save I think that's the more major question. While there
is a lot of pain, there's a lot of hurt,
what are we gonna do to how do I really
want to know what we can do to mobilize and
figure this out? Because I don't want this to be

(32:55):
the history. I want my kids to be legacy babies.
All my kids to be able to have the option
to go to fam you and experience, you know, a
world of blackness where there's everyone there where there's all
types of people who are black, and you get the
education and they and they cover you, and you get
the I want my children to be able to be

(33:15):
open and have those experiences. My nephews and my nieces
to also be able to have that as an option,
but knowing that what family, I would never and I
would never say this out of my mouth, but me
saying this is absolutely insane under the leadership of Marva Johnson,
I don't want none of my nieces or nephews, or

(33:35):
for any of my future children if they stick with
this type. Because Donald Trump and his minions have said
once they put somebody in place somewhere, they will shift
and change the culture to the point where we will
never have a chance to bring it back. That's a
promise that this man has made when it came to
the attack on black education. Taking away funding is away

(33:59):
has been something that he promised as a threat when
we didn't want to remove black history conversations. How darey,
what is the point of going to an HBCU if
you are.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Not learning about your black history?

Speaker 3 (34:12):
I learned so much as much as you know, some
groups of people don't want to believe, but I learned
so much about my own heritage as a Haitian.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
At FAMU.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
Yeah, because they taught actual black history, global black history
at that school. So to see that they want to
bring somebody who is going to handpick, takeaway, remove strategize

(34:45):
with MAGA.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
Yes to the same orders.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
All we know of our precious beloved University will usually
keep things around the dinner table when it comes to
conversations about our HBC youth, we usually keep things within
our little circles, you know, gather together, because it's usually
things that we can handle, things that we know that
you know, our donors will be able to step in
and take care of. But at this moment, even our

(35:12):
donors are taking to social media begging, begging for insistance,
begging for help. That's how we know MAGA has used
its power and put a puppet, a plant, a political plan.

(35:32):
I never thought I would say this about my school.
At the university, we do something man.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
Well and I think it's the same thing, Rebecca. You
you teach about this all the time, the remembrance. Yeah,
it is one every generation of kids that come in, y'all,
y'all need to get And so a lot of this

(36:02):
is going to actually have to obviously take place offline.
But for every freshman class that comes in underneath my
Larva Johnson's reign, they need to have their own initiation
and communication from the alumnis and from people in the
city people who know and let them know exactly who
their president is, who their president serves, and what the

(36:25):
university was before that president, and what the university is
going to be after that president. And make sure that
every single student who you all can reach out to
on that campus knows and remembers what FAMU is, not
only not only what it used to be, but the
fight that it's in, because FAMU is in the fight
for its soul. Absolutely like the very essence of what

(36:48):
fam you has been for since eighteen What year was
around it?

Speaker 3 (36:52):
Eighteen eighty seven, I knew, you knew. Florida Agricultural and
Mechanical University October thirty eighth, eighteen eighty seven.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
PHAM c.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
The school for colored people because they could not go
to the school across the street called Florida State University
across the train tracks. These people built the school with
their hands, went to class, and continued to build on
the school land that was full of rattlesnakes. They built
up the school from nothing until it became a university

(37:24):
accredited university at Tallahassee because they did not want us
to have education. And here we are, and then we
opened the doors for infiltration I'm so pissed off. Benjamin P. Dixon.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
Yeah, let me jump here real quick with Leagalia de Ville,
and I appreciate the comments, so you know, I'm not
gonna read the sideways, but I am going to answer
it though it says it's different outside the US. But
I have no reason to defend the university I went to.
I don't think anyone would unless you went to one
of the top five. See here's a difference. Though, Black

(38:00):
universities had to come into existence because white folks would
not allow us to go to university with them. Same
thing is the reason the Black church came into existence
because it was illegal. Black folks could not worship with
white folks, and so we went and started our own,
and in starting our own, we created something more than
the university. And I am sorry. You just really would
not understand, right, You really simply could not understand unless

(38:22):
you have been in growing up in a world that
number one has always looked at you sideways because you black,
and then going to a university where not only was
it they didn't look at you sideways because you black,
they would look at you sideways. If you didn't understand
and appreciate your blackness. Yeah, and going from that shift,
going from a world that didn't appreciate your blackness to

(38:46):
a world where you better know the details of your
blackness and how you got here. It is a fundamental
transformative shift in the thinking and the psyche of young
black people who grow up in a system that has
been designed to kill us from the beginning. I know
you were trying to come for us legalia, but just
the sentiment itself, Harvard don't got nothing on faund in

(39:07):
that regard these the top five universities where people. I
went to Stanford, I went to Yale, I went to Princeton,
I went to Harvard. Yeah yeah, yeayeah cool. Yes, but
you don't have and they could never be to their
alumni what a black university is to a black alumni,
it's just not possible. Sure, they're going to make a
whole lot more money because they went to but in

(39:30):
terms of the soul of black folk and living in America,
there is nothing like an HBCU. And that's why these
white devils are going after.

Speaker 3 (39:38):
It absolutely because they tried to. They FSU when I
was there, tried to buy Florida and M University. We said, hell,
now to the point where they had to then start
sending students over to programs that they did not have,
and they wouldn't put on their campus our s JGC,

(39:59):
which is our journalism, our Graphics and Journalism School, our
Graphics Communications because all FSU has communications, but our Graphics,
Communications and Journalism School was on campus and full of
white kids from FSU. I co opt. I had dance
at FAM, but I co opt over at FSU, And

(40:21):
the difference between my dance set FAM with the same teacher,
by the way, and my dance at FSU was allowed
was loud. The education is more because that's what the
excellence with caring, Excellence with caring. That is our motto
over at Florida and M University, because that's true. We

(40:44):
got issues with the leadership, Yeah, we'll fight them, but
our legacy is excellent, and they cared for us on
that campus. And here we have somebody who doesn't even
know anything about us, our history. She can't even pronounce
sam you.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
Wait a minute, she keeps.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
Saying fam she she separates when we say fam you,
it's fam you. She's fam you like I can't even
say it. It's not even an accent.

Speaker 8 (41:14):
Thing.

Speaker 3 (41:15):
It's somebody who knows nothing about the university. It's somebody
who knows nothing about the culture of our black h
or or HBCUs. It's somebody who would never understand when
you talk to somebody who doesn't know FAM you, if
they read it on a piece of paper, they're gonna say,
They're gonna try to say every letter I FAM you.
They don't know, but you're telling them FAM. You Look

(41:38):
at this lady. Let's hear a talk. Let's hear a talk.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
I don't know if it's her, Yeah, it's not her talking. Sorry, man,
look at this.

Speaker 3 (41:45):
Look at this lady.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
Oh my god, I think it's It's like and you know,
and so people people wouldn't understand, man, People wouldn't understand. Like,
the closest thing that you could get to understanding is
if you go and be watch Different World and it
actually changes it changes your perspective. Right, you can watch
it and just be like, oh, that's black folks. Now
you go watch it and then you see the role

(42:11):
that Hillman plays for the students in that show, it
plays for the people who watch it, and then you realize,
you know that there's an entire world of understanding. There's
an entire way of seeing the world that you were
never introduced to, especially if you're white, but even if

(42:31):
you're black, there's an entire world of understanding and perspectives
of how this world functions and how it functions as
a result of white supremacy. And then you take that
to all of your courses, you start understand this is
why they hate critical race theory so much. Critical race
theory is so profound that they have had to White
supremacists have had to declare war on it. What we're

(42:54):
dealing with maga And this is this is why my
fundamental thing in the season right now, Rebecca, is if
you if people who claim to be on our side, Democrats, liberals,
Bernie Sanders, progressives, you know what I mean, the Hillary
Clinton's and all of them, all the Midas, touch and

(43:14):
all these people and entities who claim to be allies
with black folks, if they don't understand that the fundamental
root of magaism and the rise of Donald Trump and
this fascist takeover the United States of America is rooted
in white supremacy. It comes from white supremacy. It's birth
from white supremacy.

Speaker 2 (43:35):
If our so called allies don't understand that, don't accept that,
and don't start fighting based on that, then they're not
up to the task of fighting back and destroying MAGA.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
And there're certainly not truly our allies at this point
because it's clear. It's clear as day now.

Speaker 3 (43:51):
Yeah, and the fact that it's clear as day now
and they are expecting us not to buy an eye.
I don't want us to be quiet, because because it's
clear as day, we still should be actively saying this
is not normal. I don't care how crystal clear it is.

(44:12):
I don't care if it's Stevie Wonder that took off
his glasses and he said he could see this whole time.
We need to be clear that this is not normal,
and we won't accept it. Sorry, sorry, we won't accept it.
I refuse to sit here and act like this is
not something that's going to affect the future of our

(44:33):
hard work. When they told us they didn't want us
right right, I'm a result of what those people were
doing and building up when they had the audacity when
they chose the highest of seven hit the highest of
seven hills over there in tellahssee Florida, Ben, it's on

(44:54):
the highest of seven hills across the train tracks. When
you flip that corner. We got our own MLK out there,
We got our own every There's so much legacy on
that campus, and I just see.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
It being whitewashed, erased.

Speaker 3 (45:16):
This is a racer, this is the this is the
first implanting of somebody there to neutralize anything that has
to do with blackness. And how does that make sense
that an HB see you. You're an appointee that has
no qualifications, but you are appointed by a man who
is anti black.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
Who has declared war on blackness, literally said that he
has a This is the war on woke, and the
only way they can use and define woke is blackness.
It is a war on blackness. And and then you
have somebody, a black person, to see they they they're
counting on a few things. And I am Rebecca. I know, yeah.

(46:00):
They're counting on people forgetting. They're counting on people being
angry now but not angry later. They're counting on people forgetting.
They're counting on her still showing up to the classic.
She's gonna get out there and she's gonna try to
say strike strike again. I hope they bow her. I

(46:20):
hope they bow her.

Speaker 3 (46:21):
But they won't show up to the games. The protest
is gonna be so serious. And if we show up, Ben,
I will fly I can't fly in for that. Right now,
i will drive down to tell Hassie October third, October,
whatever they tell us to do, I'm coming down there,
all black, whatever is necessary. Next thing, you know, we're

(46:44):
gonna see tanks. Then I can see it. Right now.
Something has got to give, something has got to give.
But I've never been in this place where I feel
so much anger like this about something that I talk
about so much, that has changed my entire life, and

(47:06):
they're trying to take it from me. I'm a Haitian woman.
They're attacking my family, my friends, my heritage. We had
a bullseye on our back when we walk around. Haitian
Flag Day is tomorrow, and I'm telling you a lot
of Haitians will not be out because of the fear
of Ice coming to pick them up. I'm an HBCU

(47:28):
graduate and they hit my school first. Yeah, I'm like,
what else do I got in?

Speaker 1 (47:40):
The fight? The fight itself, the fight itself, the gift
that you bring, Rebecca, the gift of remembrance. You have
been on that, and I'm gonna keep saying that. I'm
gonna keep reminding you, and I'm reminding my wife. I'm
telling my wife she needs to get up with you. You
need to get up with her. Y'all need to get
up with the other alumni, and y'all need to do
something unique that other people aren't doing. People are going

(48:00):
to protest, a lot of people are going to boycott
and and and that's that's fine. But I think you
all and specific have the ability to lead a very
important part. There's gonna be a lot of people doing
their parts. But I think that you have the ability
to carry the narrative and make sure people don't forget
because you remember, and then just bring people's attention back

(48:20):
to it every single chance you get. And then make
sure that the students on campus, the student's own campus,
they have to be. They have to be. It's like
they're they're coming in brand new students. They don't they
don't really know what's going on. No, they don't. They don't.
And let me give you like this is what Pastor
Robinson says. It's good brother. He was my pastor while

(48:41):
I was at Bathune Cookman down the road and uh,
he's coming on. Matter of fact, he's going to be
coming on and joining us. Uh in in our orbit.
He's doing a podcast and he's gonna start doing my
pastor love them military man was running the rotc over
at Bethune Cookman and this is what he said. He
said that he was heading ups that were so important
for the youth in the not only the community but

(49:03):
at the university but also in the community. And then
they got rid of his program. So he wasn't mad.
He was retired from the military, didn't need the money,
but he was like, who's going to do this program
for the kids? And then he says something that I'll
never forget. He said, Ben I watched and I thought
that the kids would complain. But by the time all
the kids that were there with me graduated, all of
the new kids came in and none of them even

(49:26):
knew that those programs ever existed. You can't miss what
you never knew existed. And that's what Larva Maga. Marva
is trying to count on that FAM you. She knows
that in about two years there will be an entirely
new class of students that FAM you who never knew
that level of blackness existed, and that's the way they

(49:47):
erase history. But that's where you and my wife and
friends and all of y'all alumni have all over the county,
y'all everywhere, y'all fam, youth, rallus is everywhere.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
To understand that. I think that's like the misconception that
you know, he thought this was going to be a
quiet outrage, the way that this is going to be.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
D story.

Speaker 3 (50:16):
And I would love to see other HBCUs mobilized too.
If we pulling up, everybody pulling up. I want to
see it. I want to I want to know that
we're all in together. Because as I said about in
my first video about Ice coming to get people, they
come to get all, y'all. They ain't they they didn't.
They started with black. Then the the ones that they
hate the most, the Haitians, they made them. However, they

(50:39):
started to go in between them. Was like you look.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
Rid of you, you got a little.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
One percent in you, you look in a little tear
round the eyes. Get them, get them, That's what they're doing.

Speaker 1 (50:51):
And they're doing that everywhere.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
There's now no kind of you're no one is saying,
you're poor, just just going and nothing. Put the change
around your feet? You sick? Did your grave? You black?
We ain't got nothing for you.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
You black? Oh no, no, they got something for us,
for black folks. They got a race war. Not not.
I'm gonna stop calling it a race war. They don't
want a race war. They want another Tulsa race massacre.
And they're talking about it.

Speaker 3 (51:24):
Then that's what I'm scared of. I'm actually I feel
like this will lead to something like that. I feel
like these children, these students, they're going to you know,
these kids are not to be played with. I heard
a couple of kids put out their testimonies online and
one student was saying, I didn't want to say anything
because I was not clear about what happened. This happened overnight.

(51:45):
We woke up and this person was a candidate. We
were not sure and then we found out who she was,
and then we said, how dare the school do this?
How dare the school throw in somebody who has political ties?
And he tried to say it's not about her political ties,
but he still ended up saying it's about her political ties. Yeah,
because the person that she's politically tied to is anti black.

Speaker 1 (52:08):
Yes, say it loud and clear, and never stop saying that.
The children don't know.

Speaker 3 (52:17):
And they are so upset because yesterday they were not protected,
their voices were dismissed in front of the nation, in
front of the world. Marva was inside of a room
as people majority of people outside were saying, get out

(52:41):
of here. We don't want you.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
To think that.

Speaker 3 (52:47):
Within less than an hour, they would say that she
won every corner that I turned on the internet, not
one person, so they knew her, they knew about her.
They said, get her out of here respectfully, respectfully, and here, fam,
you did this. I'm so embarrassed.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
I'm ashamed. I'm ashamed.

Speaker 3 (53:13):
We know we got ops, Ben, you know that. You
know that every university is always people who are working
with you know, the ops and bringing that into the school.
But now to bring it to the main stage and
literally show us. They said, hey, come on in to
the the border of trustee meetings. They put us in

(53:33):
part of the process and then they laughed at us.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
Yeah, yep, And here I'm gonna be honest with you.
I wenna keep it one hundred. Here's a from Alicia
Hay Rebecca and Ben, do you all have any advice
on how to get involved and fight back against Magga.
It brings me in tears, to schools, brings me to
tears with anger and sadness. I I, I yes, I.

(54:00):
There are many ideas and many things that are happening.
But the number one thing that we could do is
connect with each other and to be able to stay
connected to each other, because the next move is going
to be to sever what ties we have enough. It's
no coincidence that our channel has gone from having I
don't know how many thousand people viewing us on a
regular basis down to like, you know what we have

(54:23):
now and we love and appreciate every one of you.
I'm just giving that as an example to show you
what they have done. They have come in and they
infiltrate it. They infiltrated YouTube, they infiltrated Twitter, they bought Twitter.
They bought Twitter, and then they took all the black
Twitter tools and then they perverted it for MAGA and
for white supremacy. Their number one tool is disconnecting us,

(54:47):
having all of us separate in silos, and then their
second biggest tool is to make us fear and to
make us be afraid. We cannot allow them to make
us be afraid of any of it, whether it's it
is what they did at fam you or whether it
is their desire to have a race massacre. We simply
will not be afraid. And then number three is be

(55:08):
prepared for every single thing that they are trying to do.
Black people. I have said it, I'm gonna say it again.
You need to arm yourselves, and I will start preaching
that gospel, the gospel of self defense, because we do
not have to sit around and wait for them to
hype themselves up into a race massacre and then we're
just sitting back. You know, you know, Jesus take the will. Okay,

(55:30):
I know Jesus will take the whill, but Jesus also
can help me shoot my gun really straight. And so
black folks need to be absolutely prepared because we're not
gonna let them do to us again what they did
in Tulsa, what they did in Rosewood, what they did
in Camilla, Georgia, what they did of Red Summer, what
they have historically done. There are more race massacres in
this country's history than you even have any idea about, audience.

(55:54):
I know, you know, the talk to the audience, Black folks,
if we don't arm ourselves and prepare ourselves and steal
our backbone and get a backbone and steal I'll say
it twice. I'll say it again. If we don't arm
ourselves and be prepared for these white Christian devils, then
we would have knowingly let history repeat itself. And I

(56:17):
ain't about to let history repeat itself without taking you know, listen,
I want to live at peace amongst everybody. But but
we have no responsibility to be lambs to the slaughter.

Speaker 3 (56:27):
No. I hope that we look at this and we're
infuriated enough, because there's so many other things that we
should be infuriated by. But because it's not our group
of people, you know, sometimes we just kind of mine
eye bousness. It's just whatever. But this is too close

(56:48):
to home for us. Our education. I know that people
are promoting not going to school and all these other things,
but our education is one of the biggest things for
black people in America. We fought for it, just like
we fought for our right to vote. It's why, no
matter what people say, people vote our education. You may

(57:10):
not want to go to a school, but you still
going to a technical school. You're still doing this, You
still doing that. We have fought for that right when
they didn't. They tell us that we have nowhere to go.
They want us to be uneducated. We built our own
right and they are infiltrating it and trying to take
it from us and try to fill it with their history.
That's right, absolutely not. We cannot allow that to happen.

(57:35):
So we have to mobilize. Like you said, Ben, we
got to get together and figure something out.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
I'm a broadcast. I'm a broadcast from Family Campus. A
couple of times this year, a couple time we go
on to Family Campus. We're going and you come on down, James,
come on down and bite some wildcats up from Bathune
Cookming And we're gonna come in there with solid are Andy.
We're gonna broadcast. But I'm telling you the number one
thing it's gonna mess this woman up. It's gonna this
black Maga woman up, is the fact that we got

(58:03):
long term memory over here. We got long term memory. Heck,
I remember, fam, you back before I decided to go
to Bathune Cookman College. And so we're gonna take this
long term history that there are hundreds of thousands, if
not into the millions of alumni and others who respect
FAM you, who know what's going on, and we're gonna

(58:26):
teach our kids. We're gonna teach those freshmen every year,
every year until MAGA Marv is gone. Every year, we're
gonna teach those freshmen exactly what was done, how they
did it, why they did it, and why the administration
that they're under right now is actually MAGA is actually

(58:46):
Hydra is actually the infiltration, the ops Cointail pro Every
freshman class needs to come in understanding they're going in
underneath Cointail Probe.

Speaker 3 (58:58):
Who protect FAMIOM at all costs, protect all HBCUs, protect
black education. And that's what I am going to continue
to promote. And especially me being oh a ratler, orange
and greed, I bleed it through and through. You cut
both of these veins open. I know that the blood
of Jesus is within me, but it's kind of it's

(59:19):
kind of green. I'm telling you, I'm a rattler, I'm
a rough If anything, I'm gonna be that, I'm gonna
be that. And I refuse for this to be esteem
that lasts on the university.

Speaker 1 (59:32):
So Rebecca, you know you know, you know I love you,
and and obviously I love I love you enough to
not have yelled hell wildcats, not one time during this
whole episode. It's been on the tip of my dog
in the back of my head. But no, Honestly, I
expect every HBCU, every Black fraternity, every sorority, whether you

(59:56):
are at FAMU or whether you're in Florida at all,
I don't care if you're the international chapters. I expect
every single black entity that has any connection or experience
or even love for HBCUs to stand up in this moment.
We don't have to go down there and protest. Matter
of fact, that's what they want. They want to bring
out the tanks on us, right. They would glad if

(01:00:19):
somebody said in the chat that they would do to
black people what Netan Yahoo is doing to Gaza. And
I'm talking gloat here in the United States of America.
But at FAM you they certainly would do a Kent State,
a Kent State where they shot and killed students right
on that they would love to do that. So I
don't think that everyone needs to show up physically in
person and protest, because that takes a lot of energy,
it takes a lot of money, and then you'll be

(01:00:40):
tired afterwards. No, I think you all need to every
day like a ritual, remind yourself and remind somebody else
of what famu is, what family was, and what family
you will be after you all get rid of Larva
Maga Marva Johnson.

Speaker 3 (01:00:57):
Yep. Absolutely yeah, I think that's what a good place.
Then I gotta get out of here. I gotta go
pay a bill.

Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
Let me leave you with this, let me let me,
let me leave you. I'm gonna do you one good here, Rebecca.
This is and I know this. This president wasn't there
when you were there. I know you're too young, too young,
you're too young to know, but I know you know
this chant. And so I'm putting this up for all
of the rattlers and all the alumni, especially my wife,

(01:01:28):
my baby, who's tuned in, and I know she's just
as hurt and just as upset. But y'all gonna survive
this because rattlers, don't you know. Yeah, let me not
even try. Let me let doctor Frederick Comfrey say it.

Speaker 10 (01:01:38):
Here we go, let me start.

Speaker 11 (01:01:55):
I'm getting chills right now because.

Speaker 3 (01:02:12):

got to go, but before you leave. As a matter
of fact, No, I'm gonna call you. I'm gonna call you.
I was gonna do it on air, but but I
need to call you because there's some work to be done.
Because this is It's not so much that this is it,
but Rebecca, this is it. What you do and how
you do it, and how you read that black history moment,

(01:03:22):
how you cover the news, your work on your channel.
It's excellent, and it deserves to be supported, not just
because you're so excellent of what you do, but it
deserves to be supported because it is a necessary voice
right now. It is you have a necessary voice right now.
And so I don't care if we got thirty people
watching right now. We're gonna have thirty thousand watching before

(01:03:43):
we're done with this. So all of you who are
watching right now, I need you to go to Rebecca's
cash app and support her work. Thank you all to
all the people in the various people who gave super chats.
We appreciate those, but she needs some cash apps. Going
up to a Rebecca, what's your cash app?

Speaker 3 (01:04:00):
Is Becca's voice on cash app? That's b E C
C A s v O I ce Becca's voice on
cash app. It helps me keep these lights on, keep
getting new mic, do the things that I need to do,
keep the system running that we're using. It's just I
got a brand new light that I'm able to use
to make sure because the other one is dead and gone.

If y'all would see what this camera is sitting on,

everybody who can give to give. But what we need
more than anything else is we need you to spread
the word. We need you to activate. What can you

(01:04:43):

Number one, you can help get our voices out here
because the ain't nobody gonna handle these issues the way
we handle it around here, especially with li like it
or not, with Rebecca's or so. I need you to
share this. I need you to find the family graduates
that you know in your life, you don't know them,
find them on social media and share this episode in specific.
And Rebecca, I think we need to plant an ache

(01:05:06):
and a flag here, a flag here, and demand if
you are a FAMI, you ratner, you need to not
get tired of this story and we're going to bring
this back to their remembrance. I think we bring it
back every single time we broadcast. We might not do
an hour and a half on it, for sure, but
every time we broadcast, we need to mention what has
happened not only a fam you, but how it's happening

(01:05:29):
everywhere else.

Speaker 3 (01:05:30):
Yeah, thank you so much, Ben, and I appreciate it.

run the numbers up under that family video because it's
being throttled, So make sure you run the numbers up.

of discussions. It's going to be for us and by
