A day. I am going through a lot my mother.

Speaker 6 (02:33):
It'll be a year next year that she's not been
with us, and she left me property.

Speaker 7 (02:38):
And you know, a lot of stuff come out.

Speaker 6 (02:41):
They say, weddings, speaking of Ladys Dot, weddings and funerals
a lot. Like you know, they say, money don't change you,
money reveals you.

Speaker 7 (02:51):
I feel the same way about those type of.

Speaker 6 (02:53):
Situations, absolutely, like it's just crazy. So I've been dealing
with some you know, some stuff with that and I'm
just I'm giving God grace with it because I'm gonna
do what I need to do to protect myself. But
at the end of the day, it's something that if
it's in writing, and that's why a lot of people,
when your loved ones are here, get a lot of

(03:14):
stuff in writing.

Speaker 7 (03:15):
Make sure you have those conversations to say, hey.

Speaker 6 (03:18):
We need a living will, we need a power of attorney,
a trust.

Speaker 7 (03:24):
You know, all that stuff is extremely important.

Speaker 6 (03:27):
And I know you don't want to talk about it,
but you have to, especially not even if you're younger,
not even if you're oh, my parents are still young. No,
it still needs to be a conversation that needs to
be had, especially when you have parents or family members
who have assets.

Speaker 7 (03:43):
Absolutely, that's it, and that's all.

Speaker 6 (03:45):
You could become a beneficiary on their bank account. When
I say beneficiary, it just means that any event something
happens to them, they'll release.

Speaker 7 (03:53):
All funds to you. Yes, it's a form, sign.

Speaker 6 (03:56):
Your name, and that's it, because guess what, you won't
get that much. It'll be out there and you're gonna
have to go through a whole lot of stuff just
to get it.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
So just sharing, y'all, Yeah, my mom. She works, well,
she's retired now, but she was a stenographer for thirty
something years and she spent some time in orphans court.
And then she was just talking about a lot of
the fighting that goes on with families after you know,

(04:24):
the parent has passed away or something like that, and
then the children are fighting, and so many different things happened.
So she was just like, you know, just make sure
you same thing you said, she said, everything you said.

Speaker 7 (04:39):
Put it in writing. That's it.

Speaker 6 (04:41):
You can even make a video documentary, however, getting it
in writing, because you need that notarized, you know, day
you know that document notarized by a witness, two witnesses
to be exact. But these are forms you can go
right on Google and do.

Speaker 7 (04:57):
You don't even need lawyers anymore. Trust used to be
like a big thing. You don't even need that.

Speaker 6 (05:01):
The verbiage is what you need, copy and paste, put
your family's information in there, and you're good to go.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
What about the time they found that will from uh,
what's her name in the couch from Aretha Franklin. They
found that and then they decided based on that and
I think it was being written or something like that.

Speaker 6 (05:22):
Yeah, yeah, and remember what was it soul food when
they found the money, Mama's money and the refugeral and
the TV that uncle Haaris or something. Yes, ruth Is
I forget his name, but it's just a it's a
it's an example of and honestly, I have stuff that's

(05:42):
in place, but mine is not ironclad, and I need
to do it. I don't need, you know, because I'm
a product of what what that looks like.

Speaker 7 (05:50):
So I know better. Yes, all right, se how was
your day?

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Long long? I'm super tired.

Speaker 7 (05:57):
He was working yesterday.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Uh lady started in the building. Uh, yeah, you know
what I mean, married time to not Yeah, I was,
I was unfamiliar. What was new to me was that
pearl kind of like that pearl, oh.

Speaker 6 (06:13):
The lace, the uh the last Yeah, yeah, I've never
heard of that before, so that was Yeah, I've seen them.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
I think people do some really interesting things, you know,
to commemorate that next step, like jumping the broom.

Speaker 7 (06:28):
The candles, fighting the candles, it's sand.

Speaker 6 (06:31):
They do that one. They even muscle tall stamp on
the glass. There's a there's a lot of different rituals
to make people, you know that they put in to
uh like you said, commemorate them and be as one. Right,
So I think I think it was so cute. She

(06:52):
looked gorgeous. It was just yeah, it was an excellent,
excellent time.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Not shot lady, Yes, lady.

Speaker 7 (07:00):
She's an honest woman.

Speaker 5 (07:02):
Now.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah. And so all those who's out there that's ready
to get married, good luck, you know, have a great time,
good luck, congratulations or what do you say?

Speaker 7 (07:17):
Don't say good luck?

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Don't get strike that that does put like a little good.

Speaker 8 (07:26):
Godless.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Well, I take that back, and just do you that
don't sounds good?

Speaker 7 (07:32):
You don't know what to say he's talking about.

Speaker 9 (07:36):
Do you.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
What you're supposed to say? I don't know what you're
supposed to say.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
To each his own right.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
His zone, right, Because some people I was just watching
something before y'all walked in, and they were talking about
that when you get into different marriages, some people like
the union of energy, right, So they don't believe in
marriages per se, getting married under the institution of this

(08:06):
kind of white privilege piece and not. And I get that, right,
And so you know, I don't know, I mean, everyone
have different points of views. And what I'm starting to
see lately is that what I do like however that's
going on. People are expressing more of themselves as opposed
to falling under these structures, right, these you know said

(08:30):
structures that has been placed on you ever since you
were small, Right, the structure of Okay, you have to
vote Democrat because you're black. People are fighting against that
same thing. If you're Republican, if your parents are Republican,
you gotta know, I don't want to be a Republican.
Or now you know, they feel independent, right the constitution
of marriage, right, you know, they feel like, well, I

(08:52):
don't have to get married under you know, this this
governmental piece you know, or in the church.

Speaker 6 (08:59):
Right, yeah, that's like, hey, I'm doing it wherever I want.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
So I like that. I like the idea that people
are making more kind of decisions to set their own
future up as opposed to how it was set up
for them. But the world is shifting there, you go.

Speaker 6 (09:20):
We I mean, we're talking about cloning, cloning, holograms are
being done. If you think about it, in eleven years,
we'll be in twenty thirty four, is right. That's crazy,
Like come on, yeh, that's like, yeah, I've been with
y'all for almost eight years, Like you know what I mean,
Like time goes so quick. Eleven years will be twenty

(09:41):
thirty four, and it's crazy. So the world is shifting
and we're not going back. So what you just said,
see is it's so important. It's gonna be so many
different things. I just said that holograms is gonna be.
They're gonna take biopsies. I think of of people who
passed away. Take some blood drops.

Speaker 7 (10:03):
Put that deal doing it.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
See, they're already doing it. They're already cloning. They successfully
cloned pigs and goats and not successfully.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
The man that had the pig heart the big cause.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
You know, they were talking and I was part of
this discussion, this French bulldog discussion, and they were talking
about this bulldogs. They're successfully cloning dogs right, cloning Say
for example, you really like this blood that came from
this particular bulldog. Well, if the dog isn't alive, they

(10:38):
successfully was able to pull off traits prior to it
passing and clone that dog. So you can.

Speaker 6 (10:45):
Get if they're doing that with burst ups, you can
get this. You can tell them what gender you want,
the eye colors, the height, And I mentioned the cloning
of your past. The way relatives, because I think people
go to pay enough if they miss their pass away relative.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Just clone them, that's right.

Speaker 6 (11:04):
Even if it's not that person, they're going to say, oh,
we need recordings, we need their hair samples, all while
they're alive, so when they pass away, they can clone
them and still have a copy of them. I don't know,
it sounds crazy, It's just it feels like something I.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Want, especially when you have this conversation based around AI. Right,
AI being able to you know, you're having this conversation
with AI, and it's able to interpret your feeling is
not necessarily feeling an emotion physically per se, but they
can interpret what you want to say based off of

(11:38):
your own algorithm. So AI is creating this memory of you.
So they're what they're saying now is that they can
or what they're what they're putting together is headstones, right,
infusing the AI and the headstones of your parents or whoever. Memory.
So you're talking to this thing over time and.

Speaker 6 (12:00):
It's picking up the algorithm aka their assax right wow.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Right, And so over time what you able to do
is after said person pass away, now you can kind
of visit this person at the gravesite because.

Speaker 6 (12:16):
It's still that's I wouldn't even want to partake in that,
and that's just scary.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
So I mean, it's one of those things though, I mean,
it is what it is. And the thing, especially when
it comes to AIS like AIS here, whether you like
it or not.

Speaker 7 (12:32):
It's always been here.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
It's just steroids now understood, understood, absolutely one hundred accurate.
So if and to you ladies and gentlemen, if you
are not at the very least understanding AI, you need
to right now because if you don't, you're gonna get
ran over, passed over. The train is going to leave
too far ahead if you for you to catch up,

(12:56):
and what you don't want to do is get either
replaced or get so far behind and understand the AI
that you get left or again replaced by someone who
does understand it. So at the very least get some
type of understanding of what AI is so you can
have the conversation as it relates to what you need
to do or shouldn't do, because there are some things

(13:16):
that you shouldn't do when it comes to AI. So
with that said, I'm your boy, Charles Gregory, the Beautiful.

Speaker 6 (13:23):
Lauren Sizzle and the beautiful Classic Lady Sparkle, it looks
like one of our first guests are here, So I

Welcome to Nidria Williams.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
They give a round of applause, rand of applause. How
are you?

Speaker 4 (16:31):
How are you?

Speaker 2 (16:32):
I'm doing great? Why don't we move that mike a
little closer to you? Just kidding little? Can you help
her out real quick? We just want damn We just
want to make sure we hear that beautiful voice. Got
we sound great? You sound great? So first and foremost
before we start anything, you know, I got to ask
how was your day? How was your day to day?

Speaker 6 (16:54):
My day was.

Speaker 8 (16:55):
Good, it was quiet, was good, I was home.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Okay, okay. So the world has been talking about pretty
much mental health, right, and trauma and all of that, right,
especially as it relates to the political sector right now,
right where would you tell somebody to start filling torn

(17:24):
with what side to take or just getting involved into
this push and pull of politics. I just want to
start there because there's people arguing back with each other
over this stuff. There's people are I've seen it today.
I'm deleting this person. I can't believe they said they

(17:44):
was okay with some of the things in Project twenty
twenty five, and I looked at some of the things
and I was like, No, some things in there that
I feel like needs to happen, you know, you know,
just as a tongue in cheek moment. But what do
you what do you tell people who are feeling just
kind of in today's world to push and pull and

(18:07):
you know, feeling like I need to just this is
just way too much. How do you approach.

Speaker 8 (18:11):
That Sometimes you have to turn things off?

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Children? Let me around the plus for that. There you go.
You can just delete somebody up, absolutely help just stop scroll?

Speaker 4 (18:20):
No, you do like social media is a lot right now?
Everything you see is not what it is.

Speaker 10 (18:32):
Like.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
My husband can watch the news all day long, and
I grew up like.

Speaker 8 (18:38):
That with my parents, and I can no longer do it.

Speaker 4 (18:41):
Like I in a line of work that I do,
I just cannot start my day anymore watching the news.

Speaker 8 (18:48):
I just can't.

Speaker 11 (18:49):
And he'll be like at work or on his way home.

Speaker 8 (18:52):
Did you see this on the news?

Speaker 4 (18:53):
Did you see that he'll send me stuff and I
cannot do it anymore. I have to decompress. I have
to separate myself for the work that I do. So
sometimes you just have to disconnect and turn things off
and not get in bobbed or have a time and
a place.

Speaker 8 (19:11):
Where it right.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
So like if you know you're going to go into
this environment and it's going to be talked about, and
you're going to go and this space is going to
be talked about and at home, I'm not going to
bring it up. I'm not going to look at it
because I know when I go here it's going to
have to be a topic and I can't avoid it,
you know, because some spaces you cannot avoid it. It's

(19:33):
just going to happen. So you have to have your
own space set up where you can have a piece
of mine and you can turn your phone off.

Speaker 8 (19:47):
You can turn your phone off. You have the power.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
Like I tell clients, the best thing about the phone
is you can turn it off.

Speaker 11 (19:56):
You don't have to answer it. You can hang up,
You put it down and be done.

Speaker 4 (20:03):
Like when someone is talking to you out of their face,
you can end the call and be done. Like it
doesn't have to go any further. It's not like face
to face, you know. So it's a shame because kids
are children. I was watching a special and the children
were saying how much they're affected by the phone and

(20:25):
social media and all the different forms of social media
that they use, Like Snapchat is a big thing for
the teens, and they said that their moods are dependent
upon what they wake up to on their phone, if
someone has replied, if the message is so and so

(20:46):
on social media, to whatever they posted.

Speaker 8 (20:50):
It is contingent upon their mood.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
If something has transpired that they don't like, it sets
off their whole entire day.

Speaker 6 (21:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
I think that's really sad because especially now in Philadelphia.
You know, Philadelphia is such a small city, I guess
when it comes to like different clicks and and different
gangs and all that, and social media plays a huge
part in what we're seeing now when it comes to crime,

(21:21):
and especially with youth's. I just remember, you know, during
the pandemic, students weren't in school and and everybody was out,
and then when they went back there was this huge
influx of just you know, violence and different things. And
I was hearing from cause you know, my son was

(21:41):
still in school at the time, and I was hearing
from him that, yeah, that he just knew all the
beefs and how they started from social media. It was
just it was just terrible and just being able to
disconnect from And I feel like that's what young people need.

Speaker 6 (21:57):
What started you to get into this field? Like these
are unsung hero occupations and careers like where did where
did that see get planned? That made you want to
be in that career.

Speaker 4 (22:09):
I kind of fell into it, to be honest. I
was pregnant with my son and I knew I needed
to go back to school because he had to go
to private school.

Speaker 8 (22:17):
So I needed to ask.

Speaker 4 (22:21):
I needed to make some more money, and I chose
the wrong phil honestly, because you know, it's a struggle.
But I went to school undergrad for business and.

Speaker 8 (22:33):
I fell into this.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
I said, I'm going to go back in my master's
and I had other plans to start a business, and
I just fell in love with this major clinical psychology.
I love psychology in high school when I took the course,
and I think nature versus nurture, to be honest, I
started to figure out what was wrong.

Speaker 8 (22:56):
Growing up when I was learning things.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
What was going on with my family from what I
was learning, and I just wanted to learn more. And
then I realized like what I could do in helping
and I just became like a permanent student since so
it's not easy by far, and I pulled, you know,

(23:21):
concentrated towards the trauma because that's what I was attracting,
like in every role in position, because I've pretty much
done it all since I've been working in the field
for over twenty years. In the community, it seemed like
I was always getting the heavy trauma clientele PTSD, you know,
sexual assault, all that kind of stuff. And during the pandemic,

(23:46):
I was the busiest. I got laid off and then
that's when I kind of just went full fledged with
my business at home and I was like doing PRN
work for Penn at that time, and you want to
talk about every story that you saw on the news,

(24:06):
I was getting those women. I remember I had one
woman who had lost four sons.

Speaker 8 (24:13):
To gun violence.

Speaker 4 (24:17):
And a lot of the women, a lot of the
stories that I had were women that had experienced something
in childhood and now it was manifesting in adulthood. So
it was like one thing after another, and then all
the cause I was getting privately for my practice were
the same things. So I'm like, let me just go
ahead and change my title. Let me just wrap this

(24:42):
up in one I mean, because realistically, a lot of
the issues awesome from trauma.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
So I want to talk I want to talk a
little bit about that, because your specialty is a long
time title trauma focused cognitive behavior behavioral therapist, and so
let's talk a little bit about that. What does that
actually mean, right, and how would that support someone who
would be I guess supported under that school.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
So I was trained under trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy,
and that's an actual model that you use mainly towards
the children, like helping them work towards their trauma story
and their narrative so that they can be able to
at the end of the like twelve weeks, be able
to write their narrative, like actually it's not like inside

(25:37):
of them anymore. They're able to write out the whole
story and be able to verbalize it and come together
with their caregivers and talk about it. The trauma empowerment
is the coaching part. So I kind of moved on
to the coaching part to where I'm just working towards
helping women. That's my niche down deal with the things

(26:03):
that happen to them that they don't normally talk about
that's really causing them to be stagnant and stock and
getting them to work towards speaking about that and healing
from that.

Speaker 8 (26:16):
A lot of the cognitive behavior.

Speaker 4 (26:18):
Things, you know, doing exercises, working on changing thought patterns
and reframing things, because the big thing for me is
letting our women know that rejection is really redirection. So

(26:39):
big thing with CBT is reframing. So we reframed it.
You know, rejection, You really weren't dismissed, you were just redirected.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
So that led you to let's talk a little bit
about vitalized hope and healing. Right, So all of that,
I guess led you to kind of create this, you know,
this organization that's specializing that, and you know what is
what is your direction or what's something that you would

(27:12):
hope to achieve based off of this new organization.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
So revitalized hope and healing is helping women revitalize the
hope that's been lost. So the thought was, you know,
I talked to God when I was coming up with
a name, and hope and healing is what normally gets attacked, right,

(27:39):
we lose hope for the moment, but it's not totally lost.
So when folks have come to me, it's at that
point of you know, I'm feeling hopeless.

Speaker 8 (27:49):
I don't know what to do.

Speaker 4 (27:50):
All these things have happened and everyone's left me, or
you know, I have nowhere to turn.

Speaker 8 (27:57):
I didn't know who to call.

Speaker 11 (27:58):
You know, I landed upon you, and now can you
help me?

Speaker 8 (28:02):
Right?

Speaker 4 (28:02):
And then we work tourds to healing, and then at
the end of it, you know you are alive again
like that. So that's where the name came from. And
you know, established in twenty twenty, twenty seventeen, but I
really didn't get started till like about twenty nineteen. Now
we're working more tours like the coaching and empowerment.

Speaker 8 (28:23):
I on a speak a tour.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
We just came.

Speaker 8 (28:29):
We just came from the DMV.

Speaker 4 (28:32):
So I'm really just letting God lead, just showing up
and letting God take over.

Speaker 8 (28:38):
Like I'm a real like type a personality.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
So I tried, like February is like God said, We're
gonna go on a move we were here in Philly
and I told everyone, we're not coming back here till
twenty twenty five, and I said, it's first stop is Atlanta.

Speaker 8 (28:52):
And we went to Atlanta in June.

Speaker 4 (28:57):
And then my plan and just went.

Speaker 11 (29:02):
God just took over. So whatever God.

Speaker 4 (29:05):
Is saying, he's saying, and then we show up and
then He does the work.

Speaker 8 (29:09):
So women have come to the events and they've left hill.

Speaker 4 (29:13):
I got my healing in Atlanta, So it's been really powerful.

Speaker 5 (29:21):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (29:22):
Now you spoke about like growing up not knowing what
not to do from family members or whomever. That's considered
generational trauma. How and tell us what techniques have you
given far as how to overcome generational trauma.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
One, we have to learn how to speak about it generationally.
We have learned culturally as a people of color, of
the color that I have, that we don't talk about it.
It stays in the house, it stays in the church,

(30:02):
We don't go to therapy. Therapy has become a little
bit more normalized since the pandemic. It's been more of
a I could sit on my couch and get therapy, Neil,
because it's virtual. It's at bit a little a little
trendy because it's now, it's in culture because it's in
the songs and everything. Now everybody's getting therapy, so people

(30:23):
feel a little bit more comfortable.

Speaker 8 (30:26):
But here's the thing.

Speaker 4 (30:27):
I learned this while we were away in the DMV
over the weekend last weekend. Our generation is like the
thirties forties, we're going to therapy, but the fifty sixties,
seven years, seventy year olds or like what you're doing
doing it? We don't talk about that. You crazy, Like

(30:48):
what's wrong with you?

Speaker 10 (30:49):
Why?

Speaker 4 (30:50):
Why are you going to therapy? Only crazy people go
to therapy because they're still stuck. So we've come to
grips of it's okay to go to therapy. I want
my child in therapy because my child's in school going
into crises. So I'm aware and now I need to
go to therapy too. But we still have our elders

(31:12):
that are still looking upon us like something is wrong,
and we still so we still had that generation to teach,
and it's really hard to teach them. You can't teach them,
so we have to be encouraged to speak out about it.
And you know, I had an event the other day

(31:33):
and it was so empowering for the women to just
be able to talk about I started off with like
when it was the first time you remember being rejected
and they sit and they're like, oh, you're gonna make
me cry. But it's like the thing that you.

Speaker 11 (31:48):
Held in all this time because no one was able
to listen to you, no one wanted.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
To hear you.

Speaker 4 (31:55):
You could never share anything like that because you never
had the space. So it's getting the ability to be
able to speak about it, to talk about it, to
say that it happened because it happened to you. It's
nothing wrong with you, but it happened to you, And
a lot of times we weren't even believed that something happened.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
I wanna talk. I wanna uh, I wanna. I wanna
not necessarily push back, right, but I do wanna ask
is there a thing about sharing too much? Right? Is
there a thing as it relates to the idea of
this this social media piece of putting everything out there

(32:40):
to everybody. Right, that's not necessarily therapy. Right. Therapy is
coming to someone like you and saying, Okay, I'm giving
you my world, versus let me run a social media
and give the world the world. Right, So what's your
position on that, cause I do believe there is a
argument on both sides. One to say that people need

(33:02):
to talk about what those issues are that's plaguing them
because it's other people that actually are going through that
same thing, Right. But I see the other side when
someone argue that what that every everything isn't for everybody,

(33:22):
so to speak, right, And so how do you walk
that fine line of sharing but not sharing too much?
If that makes sense?

Speaker 4 (33:30):
No, it makes a lot of sense because what you're
saying is that some things you share can.

Speaker 8 (33:34):
Trigger others, absolutely right.

Speaker 4 (33:37):
So you have to be careful what you're sharing and
everything is not the appropriate place.

Speaker 12 (33:42):
Right.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
So again we talked about like turning off social media
because people do that and it's not safe. So social
media is not a safe place.

Speaker 11 (33:53):
Social media is not a safe place.

Speaker 4 (33:55):
You never know what you're going to scroll through when
you scroll, right, So I am very much aware, like
I only follow certain people. I make sure that only
certain things show up in my timeline so I'm.

Speaker 8 (34:11):
Not triggered in that way. Right. That's one thing.

Speaker 4 (34:14):
That you all should be doing so that you don't
have those occurrences because you can't control that right, And
then two, social media is not the place for you
to like.

Speaker 8 (34:26):
Have your therapy sessions, right.

Speaker 13 (34:28):
Right.

Speaker 11 (34:29):
You can follow people that can give.

Speaker 4 (34:32):
You some good tips and tricks, right, but like it's
not for you to actually have those venting sessions. This
kind of stuff is stuff you have a safe space, yeah,
where you feel comfortable. Like those ladies I met with,
they wouldn't have shared that kind of stuff or social media.
They felt comfortable in a safe space. Like those are

(34:56):
the topics that you share in safe spaces.

Speaker 8 (34:58):
Social media is not a safe space.

Speaker 4 (35:00):
So those folks that are sharing those kind of messages,
it might be good to privately message them and say, hey,
I have a person that you know you might want
to talk to, Like, I have some information, have you
you know, thought about just and it's not being facetious.

Speaker 8 (35:18):
It's just saying, hey.

Speaker 4 (35:20):
You know, here's some information, here's some referrals for you,
here's some resources. Because they're struggling, obviously they're struggling, and
some people don't have the people to talk to, so
you can't judge them, right, Some people like so they
look to social media for a community, so you cannot
judge them. They don't Some people only know what they know.

(35:42):
It's alds like a cry out to some people. Some
people are crying out, and some people are that close
to making really poor decisions. So we can't say they
shouldn't be doing it, they should know better.

Speaker 8 (35:57):
They might not know better, and they might need some
want to like.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
Say hey, I got you and I saw I did
see something that was really nice. A lady that was
losing her home and they said on TikTok she had
posted it, and so many people reached out from the
area and like Dallas and offered help to like help
her put things in storage.

Speaker 6 (36:17):
Oh that yeah, I saw that she was being evicted
and all these people showed up.

Speaker 4 (36:22):
Yeah, and like things like that do happen, Like you
can you know, cry out and people can help.

Speaker 7 (36:31):
I got, oh, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
Oh no, I was just gonna say, I just had
like a vision. I just kind of you know, popped
into my head, a sneaker to myself, because I see
that all the time, somebody's just getting on there and
then they're just going on this whole tangent personal stuff,
even about other family members, and there's no one ever
says to them, like don't do that here, or you

(36:54):
can get help or like they may say, don't post
us on here, but they don't offer the alternative of
getting help. So that's just so important.

Speaker 6 (37:02):
You know, I personally think that people are now trying
to go viral, like the woman who is crying out
and then it was her relationship and now she's making money, you.

Speaker 7 (37:12):
Know what I mean.

Speaker 6 (37:13):
So it's like they still have the mental health, but
now it's like it's it's.

Speaker 7 (37:17):
Cool to do.

Speaker 6 (37:18):
But my question was, with that being said, it's so
many people who are now I'm real, I'm gonna tell
you how it is.

Speaker 7 (37:25):
I'm a body shame.

Speaker 6 (37:26):
You know, you should just you know, take the realness,
and it's becoming abusive. So now you've got these people
who because the internet or the media is now saying
be real and just tell it like it is. But
now you're becoming the brutal person, which gives another person
the trauma.

Speaker 7 (37:44):
So now it's like there's this seesaw.

Speaker 6 (37:47):
Now where people are being real based on what the
media says about not sugarcoating stuff. But now you got
someone who's receiving this cyber bullying and now dealing with trauma.
You know, like even with our politicians right now you
got Joe, Biden and Trump, and it's almost like with
the media is hyping it up to say, you know,

(38:09):
someone who can't really speak not far from age with
each other, but it's kind of a bully with you know,
the sleepy Joe or you know what I mean.

Speaker 8 (38:19):
Control in the narrative.

Speaker 6 (38:21):
So what do you tell your your clienteles to you know,
I know it's like stop with the you know, social media,
But is it also another kind of confidence thing that
you can build in them, or what advice would you give.

Speaker 4 (38:35):
The exactly what you're saying, like, how do you value yourself?
Like a lot of times we can differentiate like what's
real and what's not.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
Right.

Speaker 8 (38:49):
Yeah, if we are high on our.

Speaker 11 (38:52):
Self worth, so it affects us the most.

Speaker 8 (38:56):
When we're not thinking really good about ourselves, like we.

Speaker 4 (39:00):
Don't think well about ourselves, then it's easy for us
the spiral down. But if we're working on our self
worth and we think that we're worthy and I don't,
that doesn't that doesn't apply to me. I don't Like
I'm not in that situation like that body shaming doesn't.

(39:22):
I don't even think that way, Like I don't fit
in that category, you know, like I don't even see that.
I'm not talking about myself, but I don't see that
because I think of myself differently.

Speaker 8 (39:33):
I value myself differently.

Speaker 4 (39:35):
So we work on that like self worth and value
and not dealing with the self doubt, you know, And
that goes back to the rejection.

Speaker 11 (39:45):
Like if we're working on that, then we're not affected
about that because we kind of work through the rejection.

Speaker 7 (39:53):
We navigated through all the nose.

Speaker 8 (39:55):
We know better.

Speaker 4 (39:56):
Like people are going to say that, like people are
going to do that, people are going to challenge us
in that way. But we have to toughen up because
we know who we are. You know, God said who
we are. You know, God has told me who I am,
and I don't really care who else has to say what,

(40:17):
you know. So if we go back to that, and
that's that's another thing about me, you know, I can
never denounce got in it.

Speaker 8 (40:27):
So if.

Speaker 4 (40:29):
I remember when I was starting my practice, I debated
or whether I was going to have anything about, you know,
my religion, and you know, someone said to me, well
if you don't, then who you want to track? You know,
So it was like something because when I did, I

(40:53):
chose to.

Speaker 8 (40:54):
And because I never denounced.

Speaker 4 (40:55):
Got everyone that called me was like, you know, because
I was looking.

Speaker 11 (41:01):
For someone that was a black Christian woman.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
You know, so and I couldn't find anybody, you know,
and when I found out you was black and you
was Christian, you know, they were excited.

Speaker 11 (41:14):
So if we have the fear in God and God.

Speaker 4 (41:20):
Only, it doesn't really matter what anyone else has to say.
And I think if we go back to that first
and foremost, you know, and I bring my people back
to that, you know, if we are valuing ourselves and
our worth, if that is in you know, check, we

(41:44):
can start there and then we can work further down.
But when that is low and tainted, that's where it's
easy for all the other things to just come in
and seep in and destroy.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
I agree with that. I agree with that, you know what.
And as you say that, right, I'm gonna read a
couple of different behaviors, right, and I want y'all to
just think about this, right one, mood modification, silence, tolerance,
withdrawal symptoms, conflict, and relapse. I just gave y'all behaviors

(42:26):
of it. Sounds like substance abuse, but this is actually
diagnosed as social media addiction behavior. That's wow, right, And
so when it comes to right us understanding those behaviors,
we have to think about are we truly understanding what

(42:46):
we think? Because most of us say, oh, I ain't addicted.
That's the criteria's addictive social media disorder. Wow, that's crazy, right,
And this was I'm on the Addictioncenter dot com if
y'all want to look this up, and it's just social
media addiction is a behavior addiction that is characterized as

(43:07):
being overly concerned about social media, driven by and uncontrollable
urds to log on to or use social media and
develop so much time and effort to social media that
it impairs other important life areas crazy? Right, Wow, there's
certain things that we look over right, And that just
goes back to your point, right, what do we feel

(43:31):
about ourselves? Right?

Speaker 1 (43:33):
And are we.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
Conscious enough to see where we're falling short identifying it
and kind of just logging off so to speak? Right,
most of us don't know re addicted. So if you
feel like you have to always pull out your phone, unfortunately,
it looks like you have social media addiction disorder.

Speaker 4 (43:53):
It's crazy, right, Try one thing, right, yep, let's just
sit for a second. And what do we do when we.

Speaker 3 (44:04):
We don't even brush our teeth, Like, nobody brushes their teeth.
They just go right to their phone.

Speaker 6 (44:08):
Like, yeah, I used to I realized it was becoming
a problem over and I said, this is yeah, but
we're surrounded by everything electronic, everything AI is from your
alexas to your cars. It's it's that's exactly what it is.
You're opening your door, you're opening your vehicles.

Speaker 7 (44:26):
You can't even.

Speaker 6 (44:27):
Buy modern stuff anymore because of how the way it is,
you know, And it's they're programming us to be human computers.

Speaker 7 (44:36):
Because here, think about this.

Speaker 6 (44:38):
When you use GPS and you're going somewhere, as soon
as you turn it off, now you've been to this
destination five times. You can't even get there without turning GPS,
and you've been there five times. So when people realize that,
why don't you go look at landmarks turn it off?
Because back in the day they had to, like you
had to print it out. Do not use it, but
challenge yourself. Yeah, so what was you about to say?

Speaker 2 (45:03):
No, I was going I was ingreeed with you when
I was saying, is that are we being programmed or
are we allowing people to program us.

Speaker 7 (45:12):
I think it's both. I think two things could be
right at the same time.

Speaker 8 (45:17):
Yeah, So I'm gonna I'm gonna challenge you. Right, think
about this.

Speaker 4 (45:21):
If I said that you had to wake up and
think about five things you're grateful for each morning, and
these are the five things that if you didn't announce
those five things that you were grateful for, they would
be taken away.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
M hmm, I'm breathing, waking off air air your lungs.

Speaker 4 (45:46):
Think about it, like, so you can't pick up the phone,
but you had to start the morning with five things
that you're grateful for, and if you don't do this
every day, they're gonna be guys gonna take them away
from you.

Speaker 8 (45:59):
Wow, a challenge.

Speaker 3 (46:00):
That's a challenge.

Speaker 4 (46:03):
Like we can always think about what we don't have right,
what we need, what's missing, But what do we have
to what is God said, I'm taking this from you
because you don't think me for it. And all you
was worried about was your phone when you first woke
up this morning. So therefore, if you worried about your phone,

(46:25):
you can have your phone. But I'm gonna take everything
that you didn't think before this morning away from you.

Speaker 8 (46:30):
What you want to do.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
Then that's so that's that's a good that's a good challenge,
and it's I mean to that point, it's probably a
good exercise to start thinking. If you don't already do this,
wake up and name five things that you're thankful for
as soon as you wake up.

Speaker 8 (46:45):
That's an exercise I give my clients.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
There you go, let me get you around.

Speaker 7 (46:50):
What's the ripple effect? What's that meaning?

Speaker 6 (46:55):
Meaning?

Speaker 4 (46:55):
Like?

Speaker 6 (46:56):
Is there I read it in the bio like a
ripple effect? Is it where it's almost like see says
it all the time? Teach one, each one teach three.
I used to say each one teach one, but each
one teach three.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
So is it?

Speaker 6 (47:09):
The ripple effect is that you make sure that with
one client that you're able to pour in and invest in,
knowing that they're going to spread that along.

Speaker 8 (47:19):
So for me, like.

Speaker 4 (47:23):
For me, I want the women to be healed because
I was once that woman that was struggling mental health wise. Right,
I thought I was hiding it front my son, but
I wasn't you know, when he was struggling at sixteen,

(47:44):
he said, Mom, I know what depression is. That was
when I was eight and you was in the room
in the dark.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
Emotional intelligence.

Speaker 4 (47:56):
So we as women, we have the most contact with
our children.

Speaker 8 (48:03):
Right.

Speaker 4 (48:03):
My heart is with the kids because the children are
our future, right, and that's our legacy. So that's the
ripple effect for me. So if our women are mentally
sound and we are, infants pick up on our emotions,
and infancy the facial expressions, they pick up on emotions,

(48:24):
and uter row they can pick up on anxiety. Right,
So if we can get our women mentally sound, mental
wellness together, that builds on our legacy, right, because the
more women we have women, how many women are in
a daycare center versus the men?

Speaker 8 (48:48):
Okay, so how many infants? How many infants are in
a daycare center?

Speaker 2 (48:53):
Yep?

Speaker 4 (48:55):
And the infants pick up on emotions. How many women
come to work at a daycare center not emotionally sound?

Speaker 2 (49:02):
You no bringing that right into the daycare.

Speaker 8 (49:06):
So that's the generation after generation after generation.

Speaker 4 (49:09):
You talk about breaking generational trauma, so we can get
these women mentally sound. You're talking about our legacy, and
I'm all about legacy building, right, me.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
Started talking about give me started talking.

Speaker 8 (49:24):
That's one thing we as a people don't focus on enough.
It's our legacy.

Speaker 7 (49:30):
You just hit on something.

Speaker 6 (49:32):
My background is in healthcare and it's called it's epigenetics.
But even before procreate, before you pro create, let's just
say a twenty year old and she doesn't have children
until she's twenty two. If she's in a stressful environment
at twenty, once that seat is in planet, it's now
that embryo is now in a sack, the amnio sack

(49:56):
of stress. So when this child is born, even if
it starts to wear off, that muscle memory for that
child is now going to be stressed. So even if
they grow up in suburban or whatever, this child can
still gravitate to a familiality of stress.

Speaker 7 (50:12):
So what you just said is absolutely true that it starts.

Speaker 6 (50:16):
Within even before the sperm or the embryo is made,
because now this woman is stressed, and now this is
where this child is growing.

Speaker 8 (50:25):
I'm living proof.

Speaker 4 (50:27):
I said that I wanted to send my son to
private school, so I paid lots of money for him
to go to private school from the time he started
right naycare on and I cried every day during my pregnancy.

Speaker 8 (50:40):
Yep, my son had to get.

Speaker 11 (50:43):
Assessments to go to private school, pay a.

Speaker 4 (50:45):
Lot of money for those, and he scored high on
a social emotional issues.

Speaker 2 (50:50):
How I just told you that social emotional.

Speaker 8 (50:54):
But it was an issue.

Speaker 4 (50:56):
I had him in a Montessori school wider scored up
School of Philadelphia, right, and they wouldn't promote him to
the first grade because it was like three and a
half to five and a half six and a half
or something like that, because they were afraid because it's
social where he scored there, he wouldn't be ready to
move forward with the older kids because of his emotions,

(51:20):
his emotional states.

Speaker 11 (51:21):
He's still that way, no matter how much money I paid,
no matter what he had access to, He's still that way.
He's twenty something years old.

Speaker 8 (51:33):
And that was in utero that developed.

Speaker 4 (51:35):
Does he cry a lot, No, he doesn't cry a lot,
but he talks a lot.

Speaker 2 (51:43):
I don't want I don't want to pivot. I don't
want to pivot the conversation, right, But there's there's conversation
when it comes to relationships, right of women wanting men
to be more emotional intelligence, but they can't handle it
when he's really emotional intelligent. Because now they're calling them, oh,
you lame or you're giving me too much. But you

(52:05):
just said he wanted them to be in touch with
his feelings and emotions, right, And so that just goes
back to the point of what we really want and
what we identify and saying what we really want. We
have to truly be in tune with what we really want,
otherwise we'll be getting something that we thought was cool
to say that we really wanted, right, yeah, yeah, And

(52:27):
so what I'm that was something that you mentioned that
I just want to jump on to. Right, Oh yeah,
real quick this time flu already, it's already nine o'clock.
I could talk to you all day. I think we're
going to bring you back. But what would you say
to someone? Because I like to allow space for not
only say spaces and growth, but to be able for

(52:52):
people to come on. We talk weekly and get resources,
get information. Right for someone who may come to the show,
come to the come to our page right and watch
this interview, and they may feel broken, They may feel
you know, uh, toxically traumatized, so to speed. They might

(53:15):
have PTSD. They may feel like it's over with me
and this is the last moment, right, can you give
a word or have a conversation real quick for someone
who might be watching this if they feel like that, sure.

Speaker 4 (53:33):
That person needs to know that they're not alone, right mm.
There's always someone that you can talk to.

Speaker 11 (53:40):
Now we have the crisis line. I think it's like text.
You can text AA eight. Anyone there can text you
back or call.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
You and talk.

Speaker 4 (53:49):
You can call them and then you can talk to
them about anything. You don't have to be like in
a full crisis. They'll work and talk to you. They
can even come out to assess you. If you're in danger,
you can go to the police station.

Speaker 11 (54:04):
You have to see a lot of times and I
have to go here. A lot of times.

Speaker 8 (54:10):
People are scared to let others know that they need
to help.

Speaker 4 (54:13):
And when we are a strong person, we think that
someone is supposed to know that we need to help
because we might be you know.

Speaker 8 (54:21):
Stepping off, stepping back a little bit or whatever. But
we have to like speak out, you know, we have to.

Speaker 4 (54:27):
Speak up and say hey, I'm not feeling myself right Neil,
And don't do it through social media, but like pick
up the phone.

Speaker 8 (54:36):
And another thing this came.

Speaker 4 (54:38):
Up a few days ago to pop up on some people,
like check in on some people, like if someone is,
you know, trying to let you know something is not
sounding right, Like don't just keep texting them, pop up
like go knock on a door, be evasive because they

(55:00):
it might not be able to verbalize it, but the
little hints and clues might.

Speaker 8 (55:05):
Be letting you know that they need you to stop by.

Speaker 4 (55:08):
I've been that person before, you know, and it's hard
being that strong friend because you know, being professionals, you
guys know a lot of times you need that person.
Some of the people watching this probably need that person,
but they don't want to let the other person know.
Some of the males don't want to let another person
know they're struggling. Right, If you see one of your

(55:30):
brothers like distancing himself, not showing up like he used
to pop up on him. You know, if somebody's on
here that is feeling that way, let someone know. Don't
just be like giving the hints. Sometimes you're strong your
other friends. If you're a strong friend or not a

(55:52):
strong friend, people don't know how to approach you, and.

Speaker 8 (55:56):
They just need to know that you do need the help.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
Just ask great advice. Great advice one of the things
that I like to say that that was excellent advice
things for that. One of the things that I tell
men is because we have we have this issue where
and the ladies too. But for the most part, men
we always all right. Right, Sometimes we have this thing

(56:21):
where someone be like, hey, what's going on? Everything good?
And we'd be like, yeah, everything good, and we might
have just lost someone, right, And so I would just say,
you know, believe or not be honest for once. Exactly,
be honest for once, let someone know that you're not
doing really good, because maybe they can help, right.

Speaker 6 (56:40):
And sometimes it's economics, like they can't pay their bills,
they trying to get a job, and they don't want
the world to see them in that state because they
feel like they're less than so they don't talk about it.

Speaker 7 (56:52):
Yeah, and you never know who has.

Speaker 4 (56:55):
The resources, right, You never know, Like sometimes people don't
tell me is what they need and if they just
say like, hey, do you know, and like I know
something like and the same thing for me, Like I've
been in the season of just asking, so.

Speaker 8 (57:11):
I'm like, listen, do.

Speaker 11 (57:12):
You know, do you know something?

Speaker 8 (57:14):
And people do have the answers like you just never know,
And I like that.

Speaker 4 (57:18):
Just be honest, because I think a lot of times
people don't want to tell the truth. One thing about
that too is stick around for the answer.

Speaker 11 (57:28):
I can't stand I can't stand it.

Speaker 4 (57:32):
Yes, don't ask me how I'm doing. And it is
today you just said, I really want to tell you
the truth. I want to say, listen, actually I'm not
doing okay, and you keep going by Yes, Dad burns

(57:53):
my soul. Yes, because I really got up the nerve
to tell you how I.

Speaker 8 (57:57):
Really feel and you didn't want to hear it.

Speaker 4 (58:02):
Don't fake ask me, like stick around to hear the answer,
like seriously, that is something that you could really do
for somebody.

Speaker 8 (58:12):
Stick around like that.

Speaker 5 (58:14):
Ask the question when.

Speaker 8 (58:15):
You really have time, you know what.

Speaker 2 (58:17):
To that point, I want to ask you your your
thoughts on this. Someone recently and I felt them with
this because I lost my mom, Spark lost her mom.
But this young lady uh lost lost a parent and
she said, and I felt her. She said, don't ask,

(58:38):
don't don't don't say to me. I'm praying for you.

Speaker 7 (58:42):
I know you're talking about And it hit me and
I was like, I.

Speaker 2 (58:46):
Hated when someone told me that when they found out
that my mom passed away. I can't put my finger
on it right what what triggered me to to you
know that that irritated me so much. I can't still
to this day, can't articulate why that angers me. But
what do you say to people? What would what type

(59:08):
of advice would you give to someone who who want
to pay respects to someone a dear the dear friend
that may have lost a relative. What will be the
appropriate response or what do you think things should do
in that manner?

Speaker 4 (59:26):
Grief is long lasting, right, it comes in ways. Right,
The best thing that you can say is I'm here.
Like I think we're in a rush to say something, yeah,
and we never know the right thing to say, right,

(59:48):
But at any capacity, if you need me, I'm here.
And I think sometimes the person just needs you.

Speaker 8 (59:56):
To pop up to call.

Speaker 4 (59:59):
I will pop up a call at the right time,
like to just show them, like how you really feel.
But like you might not have to just say it,
like if you if you're gonna pray, pray, like you
don't have to say I'm gonna pray for you, like
just pray, you know, Like you don't have to say it,
but you could just say I'm here for you. However

(01:00:20):
you need me, know that I'm here for you. Call
me if you need me, and then you do the calling.
Sometimes they're not gonna answer, you do the popping up.
Sometimes they might not answer the door, but you're letting
them know that you're there, and you're still giving them
that space. Because there's no right thing to say. There

(01:00:41):
isn't there's no right thing to say. I think everyone
that has lost someone gets irritated at almost every attempt,
every attempt, there's no right thing to say. So just
letting the person know that you're there and then the
action of it. And sometimes you are going to get dismissed,
But if you're that type of person to that person,

(01:01:03):
it's not going to matter to you.

Speaker 2 (01:01:05):
Hurt your lese hurt clause round them for plause. Excellent, excellent, excellent. Jeez,

Rehope Coaching dot com, Rehope question.

Speaker 6 (01:02:44):
One more thing before you go, Just let everyone know
that if there is someone out there, uh, you know, struggling,
what advice would you give them to speak up?

Speaker 11 (01:02:55):
To speak up up?

Speaker 4 (01:02:57):
Let someone know, did you need the help and don't
be afraid to call down AAA to text and you
can call that number as well to speak to someone
and let someone know. It's okay to say that I
am struggling, because no one is going to know unless

(01:03:17):
you say something and it's okay. And keep talking about
it until you get the right person, because sometimes you
talk to the wrong people.

Speaker 8 (01:03:25):
Make sure that you talk to the right person.

Speaker 11 (01:03:27):
There are people out here qualified for you.

Lawrence was letting the guests out.

Speaker 7 (01:06:09):
That was a great interview.

Speaker 2 (01:06:11):
Boutish cheer talk a little bit, but.

Speaker 7 (01:06:14):
That was a great interview.

Speaker 6 (01:06:15):
She definitely hit on a lot of different things that
are our world. It's not even a generation thing anymore.

Speaker 7 (01:06:23):
It's our world.

Speaker 6 (01:06:24):
You have adults, you have children who can't put their
phone down. The first thing they think about when they
wake up is to get on their phone. I was
actually one of those people, and I would I would
not allow it to control me. So I don't grab
my phone first thing in the morning. I did those
same activities that she just challenged everybody with, So do

(01:06:44):
it for your psyche because years to come, you're gonna
wish that you did it. You don't want to be
programmed because it just like an addiction to nicotine, foods, fashion,
it's still an addiction.

Speaker 2 (01:06:56):
Yeah, and we hate I think what it is is
that we hate that word addiction. We hate the word addiction. Right,
We addicted to our phones. Ninety percent of the people
on the planet are at this point. If you feel that, yeah,
as soon as you wake up, yeah, go to your
your addicted.

Speaker 6 (01:07:15):
Challenge yourself because anytime as a kid, I used to
suck my thumb and my mom was like, you're gonna
have to get braceist. And because she challenged me, I'm like,
back then, braces wasn't cute. So I said it was
an addiction to my to my thumb as to soothe me.
I was like, nope, I'm not doing it. And I
found myself doing that in life. When you feel like

(01:07:39):
there's something controlling, you.

Speaker 7 (01:07:42):
Challenge yourself to make sure that it doesn't. People need
to go off the grid. And I'm not saying go away,
but shut all that, shut all that stuff down. Definitely
it'll still be there and.

Speaker 2 (01:07:54):
It definitely still be there. We talked weekly, have to
talk on WPPMO P Philadelphia. Want six point five film,
We talk week. You have to talk with and beautiful
and beautiful class. I want to touch you on something.
Let me read something real quick. Let me while we're
doing that, because I don't want to go into good
news and bad news and a guest come in. But
I think this is a good time to do maybe

(01:08:15):
some more quick news real quick. So something that just
popped up, Uh, breaking news story and this is where
is this? This came on news. This is on newsweek.
Kamala Harris get bad news in three battle ground states.
This is this is interesting. Vice President Kamala Harris does

(01:08:35):
worse than President Joe Biden and hypothetical matchup with GOP
nominee Donald Trump in three battleground states. Polling shows after
Biden's week showing against Trump at the first presidential debate
last month. Late last month. Uh, they have been calls
from Democrats in Congress and other prominent members of the
party of the President to step down and let someone

(01:08:58):
else like Harris receive the nomination. But this is a
big butt. Biden has reportedly vowed to stay in the race,
and Harris has made it clear she supports him as
the party candidate. Since the debate, concerns about Biden's age
and perceived mental acuity have not subsided. The eighty one

(01:09:18):
year old president struggled to give Cohara answers at the
debate and at times seemed to lose his train of thought.
Harris is fifty nine, nearly two decades younger than Trump
seventy eight, but according to the survey conducted by Insider
Advantage from July fifteen to the sixteen, more voters in Pennsylvania, Nevada,
and Arizona would want Biden as a Democratic nominee over

(01:09:42):
Harris based on who can best defeat Trump. That's interesting. Yeah,
and there's a lot of speculation. God, I see you
was about to say some good.

Speaker 3 (01:09:54):
Let me tell you something. I have so many different
mixed feels about when it comes to what the Democratic
Party is doing. Is kind of and I hate to
you know, I'm not trying to be on any side,
of course, but like I think it's a disappointment to

(01:10:16):
a lot of to the party. You know, a lot
of what I'm saying, and I'm trying to say things.
What I was saying is but like a lot of
what I'm saying is very disappointing. I think I was trying.
I'm just trying to make sense of it, and it's
very you can't. And that's the problem, like very aggravating

(01:10:37):
because I just don't understand. And I get that out
of fear Democrats. So like Biden needs to step aside,
or he needs to pass the torch to somebody else.
But who is that someone else?

Speaker 2 (01:10:50):
That thought real quick, because I want to talk about
this little comment that someone posted which I think voters
are concerned about Kamala's liberal policies, and I agree with that.
Some orders are so much of the country is done
with the extreme liberalism anymore. And there are a lot
of people who actually feel that way.

Speaker 3 (01:11:08):
Go ahead, that they're done with liberalism.

Speaker 2 (01:11:11):
They're done with the hyper the hyperliberal kind of position,
and a lot of people are I'm hearing a lot
of that on even both sides. I'm hearing some you know,
moderate Democrats feeling like, yo, it's just too liberals.

Speaker 6 (01:11:27):
They're losing structure to me, you know, the Democrats to me, yeah,
because they are allowed there. There has to be some
type of law and order, you know, you have to
have something. It feels like everything is such a free
fall now in my opinion that so do you allow everything?

Speaker 3 (01:11:43):
Is that with the policies or just like the way
they're going about I.

Speaker 6 (01:11:47):
Mean, even down to the border, like certain things shouldn't
shouldn't happen, like certain things need.

Speaker 7 (01:11:55):
An order or some type of structure in place.

Speaker 6 (01:11:58):
Is biting the one not saying that, you know, we're
voting for Biden based on you know, being a Democrat,
but if he's not the man to do the job,
then you know, I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:12:10):
Know, well, I think Biden he has been trying to
and I can't think of the initiatives right, you know,
at the moment, but he has been trying to do
some things. When it comes to like the border, he
got a lot of pushback from the Republicans and and
dj T did say, like, let's he wanted the Republicans

(01:12:33):
to hold off on it because he wanted to be
able to address that when he got into the office.
But like, I don't know, I don't know, this is
just it's just it's just very frustrating to me because
I think people want to see what Democrats are going
to do versus now and when the meet, the media

(01:12:54):
is showing what they want to show. Mainstream media is
shown what they want to show. There they're only they're
not focusing. No one's focusing on the issues right now.
I feel I feel like it's just democrats. Democrats are
fighting about getting Joe Biden to step down. Republicans are
just whatever Trump says. You know, he's told I don't

(01:13:18):
know how many lies, and it's just people. The American
people are like, what the heck is going on?

Speaker 2 (01:13:26):
It is I want to say this other I want
to say to read this other comment too, by Liberty Twitter.
He says there would have been plenty of options, but
Biden assumed Trump's conviction would allow him to win. Now,
I'm assuming, Liberty that you're a Republican, right, and we
welcome anyone and everyone to comment, right, And so I

(01:13:47):
appreciate you commenting. I don't want to I don't want
to assume if I'm wrong, you can kind of correct me. Oh,
he said, No, I'm a Democrat or cheek, I don't
know who you are. No, I'm a Democrat. Okay, cool?
So that that goes back to the point that even
some Democrats are feeling this way about fighting. It's not
just Republicans.

Speaker 3 (01:14:06):
That he's not addressing the issues.

Speaker 2 (01:14:09):
And he said, but I can't tolerate the extreme liberal
liberalism anymore, which goes to the and I and and
to a degree I. So, so we have to allow
space for these differences of opinions right there. There can't
be We're not monolists, right, and so we have to

(01:14:32):
allow people to have an opinion. Right.

Speaker 3 (01:14:36):
I think when people are saying extreme liberal liberalism, I'm
the type of person where you have to break things down.

Speaker 4 (01:14:46):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:14:46):
I just want to know, like what they feel like
is extreme liberal loberalism, examples.

Speaker 2 (01:14:52):
And they are giving examples and liberty anytime you feel
like Because I want to always preface the show we
get we allow safe spaces for everyone, even Republicans and
so and this is democrat. You affirmed that you was
a Democrat. So I'm reading your comments and this is
for everyone to see. So I just want to let

(01:15:12):
you know that I'm doing that if that's okay, right,
And so some of the things he said, oh my god,
open borders is crazy to buy Uh, that Biden has
let millions of people come into the country illegally. Why
it's crazy, go on to say, and the refusal of
liberal prosecutors to prosecute criminals. We are the victims of that.

(01:15:33):
And last, but not least, he say, and the liberals
are now lowering educational standards because supposedly people of color
can't achieve. That hurts us. Okay, So that's some of
the examples that the.

Speaker 3 (01:15:45):
Lowering educational standards.

Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
Uh, that's I mean, they didn't get that's that's just
kind of what he was saying. Yeah, because supposedly, uh,
and the Liberals are now lowering educational standards because of
police Oh yeah, the sea in college in California, so
they must be in California.

Speaker 7 (01:16:04):
Yeah, but that's true. Like they're taking certain things out.

Speaker 10 (01:16:07):
What was it.

Speaker 6 (01:16:08):
What's it called the acronyms? Uh, as far as the
history of Black Americans, and it said.

Speaker 2 (01:16:15):
They got rid of the set tests and are removing algebra.

Speaker 6 (01:16:19):
Yes, that, but it was something else. It was the
it was the thing about knowing your history. They were
taking that out, the black.

Speaker 7 (01:16:26):
History, critical race theory, critical race theory. They took that
out based on.

Speaker 3 (01:16:30):
Now the thing about that is and you know in
my master's program, I did a research paper on this.
Critical race theory is not taught in in in a
secondary education. It's not that's something that they teach in
posting secondary education. And I remember when they came up

(01:16:53):
with this, you know, as a way to I'm not
going to get.

Speaker 2 (01:16:58):
Into and in law criminal justice.

Speaker 3 (01:17:00):
I just want every want tom taught a secondary education.
It's not taught and that was just something that they
use to get people ground up. And you had these
parents showing up at schools. I don't want my kids
learning critical race theory and they're learning how to hate,
you know, they hate themselves because it wasn't even taught

(01:17:24):
in schools.

Speaker 6 (01:17:26):
And that was one of my good news bad news.
Can I just elaborate more on what you already said,
President Joe Biden babes So this.

Speaker 2 (01:17:33):
Is good news bad news. Yeah, let's just get ready
to go into good news and bad news because before
you cut, because I want to make sure that you
can give context after you do your story. Okay, all right,
So but I do want to give this last comment
because we allow on space for people to have conversation.
He says they got rid of high school exit exams

(01:17:55):
because too many minorities couldn't pass it. So instead of
improving a ducation, they lower standards. California, I believe, so
we are a joke to the rest of the world
now as kids are the least educated ever. Now for context,
I just want I just want to know. You don't
have to answer this because we give c spaces. I

(01:18:17):
just would like to know if you're black or not.
If you're black or not, that gives some context, right,
doesn't matter. If you don't want to answer that, that's
fine because again we give spaces, but we allow open dialogue.
And the reason for this is because if we don't
have these uncomfortable conversations, we won't get anywhere. We talk.
We talk Latin. Oh, there you go, californ There you go.

(01:18:41):
Yes to California. Thank you for that. Thank you for that.

Speaker 14 (01:18:44):
Turn to Latino schools or no, no, no, they refer
to he said California, not a specific school, but I
have heard that they got rid of SATs.

Speaker 2 (01:18:57):
I'm you know for sure. Thank you, Thank you for that.
I appreciate you, uh giving that context. So again, for
for anyone who watches we talk weekly, we are solutions
based platform, So we don't just point fingers at one
party at another party. We try to give true dialogue,
true understanding. Uh, we try to allow, like I said,

(01:19:20):
allow safe spaces and have these uncomfortable conversations because if
we can't, if we can't agree to disagree and move forward.
Were always going to run in place, always going to
run in place, and that's where we're at. Oh, go ahead, Susan,
So let's let's go in. You want to go, Let's
let's go into so you can address kind of your position.

(01:19:42):
Let's go ahead.

Speaker 6 (01:19:43):
Well, it's basically just piggyback and adding more information to
what you and pretty much what you just mentioned. It
states that the reason that Biden may be stepping down
is because of his medical edition condition that arose the COVID. Yeah,
that he's looking to maybe step down. However, his comment
was that that the only way he's stepping down is

(01:20:09):
if he dies.

Speaker 7 (01:20:11):
Okay, that's what.

Speaker 6 (01:20:13):
Yeah, But his team is saying if he does exit
the race before the Democratic National Convention in August, will
his next will the next candidate be Kamala Harris?

Speaker 7 (01:20:26):
Like, is there a policy or are there?

Speaker 5 (01:20:29):
Is it not?

Speaker 2 (01:20:30):
Now?

Speaker 7 (01:20:30):
If something happens to the president.

Speaker 6 (01:20:32):
We know that the vice president takes as successor to that,
but what happens in this instant, because it hasn't never happened.

Speaker 2 (01:20:40):
I believe that the party I'm not even talking about
Republicans at this point. I'm talking about I believe that
Democratic Party dislikes the idea of Kamala so much they
would rather Joe Biden completely step out of it and
let another person run for the party.

Speaker 3 (01:20:58):
That's my that's my I was just I was just
discussing that with someone else and I couldncur I agree
with that. I don't think they want Kamala Harris there.
I believe that they would. And I've been here and
I you know, I kind of look at trying to
look at everything in all different aspects, and one thing

(01:21:22):
that I really can't understand. I'm back to this I
can't understand. But I can't understand for the life of me,
is why, First of all, I feel like the conversation
about him stepping down or stepping aside should be a
private conversation. I don't understand why it's so public, because
it's overshadowing everything like it's it's just it's just crazy.

(01:21:44):
And then the other thing is that Biden Biden, the
the Biden Harris administration, they are the ones that are
basically saying like, he's not uping aside because this is
what he's saying, you know, he's not stepping aside. He's
gonna continue campaigning and all that, and he feels like

(01:22:07):
he can run, he can win this race. They have
their own polling that they've been looking into that shows
and I've seen some other polling that kind of mirrors
somewhat similar to what they're saying, that shows that he
has a chance. It's a really tight race, but he
does have a chance to win. The Democrats, the politicians,

(01:22:30):
they are getting together in separate meetings and I don't
know if Kamala Harris is included in these meetings, but
they're the ones that are calling for him to step aside.
And it's to me, it just seems like so separated. Yeah,
it's divided, and it seems like they're divided within their
own party. And I feel like it's based off of

(01:22:52):
this huge fear that they feel Biden is going to
lose and they feel there are going to going to
lose their positions if Biden is.

Speaker 2 (01:23:04):
I want to so I'm gonna let you. I got
you sparked, but I believe this is something I disagree with. Liberty.
He says the party can choose at the convention. I'm
saying the party will choose at the convention. But this
is something that I agree with that it's become a
public conversation because he's refusing to step down.

Speaker 3 (01:23:23):
This is this and at the same time he does
have the right to stay in the right.

Speaker 6 (01:23:29):
It becomes divisive if they know that you're against the
commander in chief, Like a house divided can't stand. So
why should it be public that know that they're having
a squirrel at home that you.

Speaker 3 (01:23:40):
Know what I mean?

Speaker 6 (01:23:40):
Like the first thing you say is keep it at home.
Don't let the world know that the family is at quorums.

Speaker 3 (01:23:47):
And I think this is exactly what they wanted though.
They wanted it to be public. So there's like public
outcry and there's public you know, the public also joining
them and calling on the president they step down.

Speaker 6 (01:24:00):
They do have two Democrats likely that they look at
potential potential alternatives, Governor Gavin Newsome and then Gretchen Whitmark.

Speaker 2 (01:24:10):
Neither one of them.

Speaker 6 (01:24:12):
The other thing I wanted to say is they are
humanizing Trump. Whoever his team is, are saying, don't be
a bully anymore. Trump like, he's not cut If you
notice during the debate, he wasn't cutting off, he wasn't
really aggressive and abrasive. He was like, oh okay, well
you know it was more then it was more Biden
becoming aggressive out of that conversation, and he you know,

(01:24:37):
if the if the moderators would say something, he was
now being bro calm. Whoever is instructing Trump, they're telling
him now to bring it down, don't be so aggressive,
and to be humanized. Because even at the RNC, they're
bringing out his grandchildren.

Speaker 7 (01:24:56):
Yeah, they're bringing people out to now humanize them.

Speaker 6 (01:24:59):
So now they we're taking advantage of the fact that
the Democratic Party is being divided, as if they don't,
they're not competent. So now they're playing a game on
the defense side to say, we're taking advantage of where
your weakness is.

Speaker 2 (01:25:13):
So Liberty said that Newsom looks great and is super smooth,
but California is a wreck. He can't escape that. And
the reason he said that Knewsome's huge problem is that
California is a financial disaster under so liberty is from California.
This is why I say, right when it comes to

(01:25:33):
what we do, is very important because people are already
have feet on the ground, right, liberty is there. I'm
not speaking for California, right, and so to be able
to give platform for people to actually be in those
spaces and see newsom may sound great to us, but
in California the like, maybe we need to think. Remember

(01:25:53):
we were talking about I think we was talking about
we were talking about about the Prime minister of uh.
Where was it where we was talking about I can't know.
It wasn't is real, but not Canada, Canada, Canada. We

(01:26:15):
was talking about Canada, and we were saying how much
we like the prime it's the prime minister, Like that's
the word, it's prime minister.

Speaker 8 (01:26:22):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:26:22):
We were saying how much we like the prime minister.
But someone commented like, yo, oh.

Speaker 7 (01:26:27):
Yeah, I remember that we talked about the guns at
one point.

Speaker 2 (01:26:30):
I think it was just I can't remember justin Trudell.
I can't remember what the conversation was about because I
don't want to misspeak. But what I will say is
that someone actually commented from who was watching our show
from Canada, and it was like, no, it's here. Yeah,
we're here on the streets right. So it's important for
us to allow spaces for people who's truly on them

(01:26:52):
streets to be able to have access in the platform
to talk about what's really going on. And that's why
we're good at what we do. And we talked weekly ahead.

Speaker 3 (01:27:01):
I'm sorry, you've done with your story. Go ahead, you
can finish your story.

Speaker 7 (01:27:05):
Not you, I mean, go ahead. I didn't even start yet.

Speaker 3 (01:27:08):
Oh, I'm sorry saying I'm going to.

Speaker 2 (01:27:13):
I want you to finish. I want you to finish
the statements and we can we can.

Speaker 3 (01:27:16):
Come back to this later. I'm just gonna make a comment,
but I just, I just I feel like the Democrats
need to come up with a plan. I know that
if they do decide like, hey, we're gonna put if
Biden does step down, we're gonna put somebody in, there's
not enough time for that person to raise all this money.

(01:27:36):
And then the money that the Biden Harris administration has
is their money. It's not like they can transfer that
to another can raise Yeah, exactly, that's their money. And
I think they need to come up with a plan.
Because the other thing too is that people need to
the Democrats need to also continue to bring awareness to

(01:27:58):
this Project twenty twenty five. And I think all this
he needs to step aside, and this and that and
the other is taken away from the time that they
have to continue to, you know, make people aware of
Project twenty twenty five. Because it's almost a thousand page document.
Who's going to sit down and read that?

Speaker 6 (01:28:16):
And I think the other point that I'm hearing a
lot of people talk about from the Democratic Party is
that although it's Biden that is not given a good
strong stance as the commander in chief, but we have
to understand that the tentacles and the branches that lead
to other things within local and state as well, are
going to once you pull for you know, the Republican

(01:28:40):
even though you're and I'm not saying that I'm Democrat
or Republican. I'm just saying that once you pull the
lever to Republican, a lot of the things that are
in place democratically as the like you said, for Project
twenty twenty five, they automatically are now going to start,
you know, push them forward based on So that's why

(01:29:03):
it's so important for the Democrat Party to get a
plan to make sure that they have a strong front
because Biden ain't it. He just not, unfortunately, And it's
just it's like you you're saying that you're gonna you're
gonna vote for somebody who who's who's weak, you know,

(01:29:23):
like you know how many wars have started under his leadership.

Speaker 2 (01:29:26):
I agree, however, but.

Speaker 7 (01:29:28):
The subset underneath of him is strong.

Speaker 2 (01:29:32):
I agree in theory of what you're saying. I think, however,
that if they got rid of we gotta remember we
are where we are because Biden is the president.

Speaker 7 (01:29:44):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:29:45):
What do you mean in terms of having a position
to Biden is the president?

Speaker 5 (01:29:51):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:29:52):
We beat Trump because of Biden? Correct? So the reason
why we have Biden as the president because people voted
for him to put someone else in there that we
don't know if the people will like him. We're only
speculating by these fictitious polls that a new president might

(01:30:17):
be the best candidate to run the country.

Speaker 3 (01:30:20):
Yeah, and a lot of these go ahead, go ahead, Now,
I was just gonna say a lot of these polls
are flawed.

Speaker 2 (01:30:26):
Right, So what I'm saying it may be suicide to
remove Biden and Kamala Harrison put someone else in there.

Speaker 3 (01:30:37):
That's what I'm thinking, That's.

Speaker 2 (01:30:39):
What I believe, right is And I don't think the country.
I mean, I just think that we are so divided
with all of this that.

Speaker 10 (01:30:50):
Do you.

Speaker 7 (01:30:52):
You think Biden is really running this country?

Speaker 2 (01:30:55):
No, not at all.

Speaker 6 (01:30:56):
So it's like if you put somebody else in there,
the policies and stuff are already Biden.

Speaker 7 (01:31:01):
To me, I don't even know if he a past
eight o'clock.

Speaker 3 (01:31:05):
Biden is the only president that has gotten so much
done in three and a half years his you know,
I guess resumes so to speak, for lack of a
better word, right now at this point is like it's incomparable,

(01:31:26):
Like there's no president that and I'm not talking eight
eight years, two year term, two terms, but in this
little time, and you can compare and I'm not saying us,
but like people can compare the former president Donald Trump's
what he got done in his four years to what

(01:31:47):
Biden got done in his three and a half years.

Speaker 2 (01:31:50):
I think I think that more people are I'm gonna
just say this because I agree with you. However, how Ever,
it goes to the point of what someone said earlier,
is all of that that he has done seems to
be hyper liberal, right, and so they're having a problem

(01:32:13):
with those things that he has done that doesn't necessarily
support certain demographics.

Speaker 3 (01:32:20):
Well, compare that to they can compare that to Trump's administration.

Speaker 2 (01:32:26):
I'm not denying it. I'm not denying it.

Speaker 3 (01:32:28):
I'm just giving content, right, Yeah, I know what you're saying,
because and I feel like with each presidency there's a
good or bad and ugly and people are not going
to agree with any president from you know, from Bush
to Barack Obama to Clinton to you know, even back
to Reagan. Like, people are not going to agree one

(01:32:49):
hundred percent what any president does. And what they found
is that, you know, the American people are I don't know,
the fickle or whatever it is, Like they flip flop
back and and it just seems like every time there's
an election, people are for someone and then if they're
back up again there against that person. But it's just

(01:33:10):
it is what it is.

Speaker 2 (01:33:11):
All Right, let's jump right into were talking too much.
We're gonna jump into that to That's why we're going
to continue this conversation, Ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 3 (01:33:18):
I love it I.

Speaker 2 (01:33:21):
Jumping all right?

Speaker 6 (01:33:22):
Neighbors watch as police investigated the scene in front of
forty eleven Marridon Street in Philly, where a seven month
old baby was shot in a drive by on Thursday evening.
Dominique Phillips can y'all hear me?

Speaker 2 (01:33:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:33:35):
Good?

Speaker 6 (01:33:36):
Dominique Phillips, twenty eight, of Northeast Philly was charged with
three counts of aggravated assault and other offenses in the shooting,
which stemmed from one hundred dollars drug debt with the
infant's parents. Now follow this, the surveillance video release showed
Billups firing three shots at close.

Speaker 7 (01:33:56):
Range at the parents. At the baby's parents and so
she was basically spraying.

Speaker 6 (01:34:02):
The shooter reportedly yelled explicit words and then she fled.
The infant was struck in the leg and was taken
to the hospital by a nearby resident, but in stable condition.
Both parents, who had open warrants, fled the scene so
they left their child, but later cooperated with police.

Speaker 7 (01:34:24):
Officers arrested Billups.

Speaker 2 (01:34:27):
They turned themselves in.

Speaker 6 (01:34:29):
You said later the parents did okay, but no Billups,
which was the shooter.

Speaker 3 (01:34:36):
She actually fled and was later arrested.

Speaker 7 (01:34:40):
It was Alan Billups b I L. L.

Speaker 6 (01:34:43):
Ups, twenty eight years old of northeast Philly. Last year,
twenty four.

Speaker 7 (01:34:49):
Children were killed in Philadelphia.

Speaker 6 (01:34:52):
Over one hundred and sixty were shot in the city,
with eighty children already shot this year as of July,
and now the child is in with the Department of
Human Services.

Speaker 7 (01:35:07):
We talked about trauma, you.

Speaker 6 (01:35:10):
Know what I mean, seven month old, but they feel like, oh,
that baby's not going to remember, okay, that baby's going
to have memories or subconscious, unconscious type of dreams, and
like where are they coming from?

Speaker 2 (01:35:24):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 6 (01:35:25):
You got what they call infantile amnesia, which usually you
can't remember anything from two and under. Some people remember
three and four vaguely, but still it's it's trauma. Our
next story as he was a guest on our show
as well, Uh, Mike Gerrick. A lot of people, yeah,

(01:35:45):
a lot of people. Uh missed him on Good Day Philadelphia.
He was missing for a few weeks, but he made
a brief appearance with doctor Mike Sigliano to explain his absence,
and he shared his diagnosis of prostate cancer. He discovered
it through a PSA blood test and we've talked about
this before that when you get it's called a prostate

(01:36:09):
survey antigen.

Speaker 7 (01:36:11):
I believe.

Speaker 6 (01:36:11):
They just take blood and they look at your gleasing
scores and basically your gleasing scores are like one plus
one is two, two plus two is four. They want
to see how high it is. The higher it is,
the more you have that antigen in your blood cells,
that is cancer. So that's a good preventive measure, especially

(01:36:35):
if you have you know that in your family. You know,
prostate cancer could be in your family, or if you're
having symptoms. Just like women go for their mammogram testing,
men should go for PSA's a lot of times it's
food that you eat, or it could be free radicals

(01:36:55):
of living in an environment you didn't even know asbestos
was there, you didn't know radio radioactive stuff was there.

Speaker 7 (01:37:01):
All that stuff can be factors.

Speaker 6 (01:37:03):
Anyway, Mike talked about the surgery and he underwent robotic
prostate removal surgery and he basically you know, his co
host Alex hollywoods there. He expressed his gratitude to the
team and he's doing well and he's letting people know, Hey,

(01:37:26):
this is we talk about these AI things and this
is one of the good things that these computers and
these AI systems, innovative therapy has taken, I mean.

Speaker 7 (01:37:38):
Huge steps to curing people.

Speaker 6 (01:37:42):
It's more people living, which is kind of becoming a
problem to a degree that now you're living longer based
on all of the technology we have, because you're able
to get preventive measures and diagnose people faster.

Speaker 2 (01:37:56):
And it's okay, ladies and gentlemen. It's about using things
as a tool. A tool, use a hammer to drive it. Now,
think of it like that.

Speaker 7 (01:38:04):
God, yeah, all right.

Speaker 6 (01:38:06):
The American justice system, especially the probation system, often unfairly
targets black people, trapping them in cycles of incarceration. Well,
Philadelphia's rapper Meek Mills story highlights the issue. After several
probation violations, including a two to four year sentence for
popping a Willie, Meek, Mills became a national symbol of

(01:38:29):
this problem. His efforts, along with the reform alliance he
co found it led to the passage of Pennsylvania's Act
forty four.

Speaker 3 (01:38:37):
Are you all familiar with that, yes, ma'am.

Speaker 7 (01:38:40):
This law seeks to ease the harsh rules of probation.
This was a big thing because even the judge who
was on that case was.

Speaker 6 (01:38:49):
Like, she was giving egregious type of sentence and you
popped a willie, like come on, come on. Basically cutting
down on the minor technical violations that often.

Speaker 7 (01:39:03):
Send black people back to jail. At forty four clarifies
that what counts as.

Speaker 6 (01:39:11):
Technical violation limits when jail time can be imposed by
these violations and sets maximum penalties, marking a significant step
towards a fairer probation system. So not only are they
at one time putting people in jail, it was like, Okay,
now you've done your time, you're getting released, and you're

(01:39:32):
still getting set up to go back. This is where
you ask our private are some jails privatize as far
as monetizing, like how much are you getting for each
each criminal, each inmate? Because you're setting people to go
back and that's just that doesn't.

Speaker 7 (01:39:50):
Make sense to me.

Speaker 6 (01:39:51):
Meek mil twenty eighteen, released from prison, was celebrated by
many of the music and social justice communities. You guys
remember that he he used his platform to advocate for
criminal justice reform, and he's real passionate about it. He
got real emotional tearyod and hopefully he's uh, as this reform.

Speaker 7 (01:40:12):
Goes, he's paying it forward. That was your good news
and your bad news from your girl Classic Lady Sparkle.

Speaker 2 (01:40:17):
Now was your good news and bad news by classic
Lady Sparkle on your boy Greg with the beautiful Laurence
and the beautiful classic Lady. And next up, you already
know what we got.

Speaker 3 (01:40:28):
I guess we got the.

Speaker 2 (01:40:32):
Ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 3 (01:40:33):
It's all over the place. So y'all gonna get what
y'all get today. Well, uh, all right, so let's let's
start with this little mini story. But before we do,
make sure you guys subscribe to We talk weekly on

Speaker 5 (01:41:07):

Speaker 3 (01:41:09):
So Rick Ross is still trolling Drake after Drake posted
a video of his flooded Toronto mansion. After Rick Ross
saw the video, he had a few things to say
about it. He said, he commented one time and said,
auction it. You probably get two ms, just kind of
insinuating that Drake's mansion isn't worth that much. But all

(01:41:32):
this is coming after weeks after Rick Ross was attacked
following his performance at a Vancouver consent. For those of
you who don't know, Rick Ross had played during his performance,
he had played Kendrick Lamars not Like Us during the performance,
and after walking off the stage, he was greeted by

(01:41:54):
a mob of people who just did not take kindly
to you know, he's in Vancouver, he's in Canada, this
is Drake Town. So they just did not take kindly
to Rick Ross playing that song. So he was There's
a ton of video that's been you know, kind of

(01:42:15):
it's surface and it's all over social media, but it
just shows Rick Ross being cornered, him and his small
security team being cornered. They were one person was knocked
out and you know Rick Ross was was uh kind
of roughed up a little bit. And then you have

(01:42:36):
people saying like, oh, uh, Rick Ross got I'm gonna
leave that part out of it. But yeah, it just
was crazy. But obviously Rick Ross still is not going
completely down without a fight.

Speaker 5 (01:42:53):
As Amber Rose, you remember.

Speaker 13 (01:43:07):
That goodness, my go ahead, dance old man, man man
man ahead.

Speaker 3 (01:43:27):
So Amber Rose a former Democrat, and we're back on
this again.

Speaker 7 (01:43:33):
I tak yeah, please tell us about yes.

Speaker 3 (01:43:35):
So you know, Amber Rose, a former Democrat who came
out as bisexual back in two thousand and nine, stated
I realized Donald Trump and his supporters don't care if
you're black. Well, she let me just backtrack a little bit,
because you know she she's battling battling some major backlash,
backlash after delivering a speech at the twenty twenty four

(01:43:58):
Republican National Convention and in support of Republican presidential nominee
Donald Trump. So if you remember, she did come out
as bisexual back in two thousand and nine, which in
her speech she stated, I realized Donald Trump and his
supporters don't care if you're black, white, gay, or straight.

(01:44:18):
It's all love. And that's when it hit me. These
are my people, this is where I belong. I'm here
tonight to tell you, no matter your political background, that
the best chance we have to give our babies a
better life is to elect Donald Trump president of the
United States. I'm no politician, and I don't want to be,
but I do care about the truth and the truth

(01:44:39):
is that the media has lied to us about Donald Trump.
I know this because for a long time I believe
those lies. So she had some other things to say,
but MSNBC's Joy Reid criticized Amber, saying, I don't want
I don't want to say she's black. And this is
what Joy Reid is saying about Amber. She's saying, I

(01:45:00):
don't want to say she's black because she said she's not.
So I don't want to say this black woman, this
woman whoever, who is of whatever race that she has claimed.
She said she's not black, but the RNC brought somebody
whose whole career is based on black culture. And Joy

(01:45:20):
read you know, she was saying, basically saying like she
doesn't know anyone who takes their political cues from Anne Barrose,
but just in case you do, you might want to
do your research, because she didn't do it thoroughly. And
Joy also said yeah. Joy also said the fact that
she is now the person you're using to try to

(01:45:41):
recruit young people of color, and to say that this
is the person who is the endorser of Donald Trump,
who you should trust, when she won't even claim the
culture that brought her back to the table. I'm dubious
that this will work. So she's just talking about just
kind of I guess insinuating that the you know, Republicans

(01:46:04):
are using Amber who is not not claiming to be black.
She she does go claim her biracialness. Don't let doctor
Umar hear that she does claim her by her biracialness.
So my my question is like, what do you does

(01:46:26):
Amber deserve this backlash?

Speaker 2 (01:46:28):
Yes, a hundred percent. First of all said what pisses
me off about Amber? Mm is that uh so she
she she goes back to our time right, uh South Philly,
South Philly High And there was a time where she
claimed that she was black, her her mom is black.
Well she I believe her mom is is is mixed,

(01:46:51):
her dad is her dad is white. But she will
always lean towards the black side and and claim her
blackness when it when she was coming up with us
so to speak, like she's she's she is from Philly.
A lot of people, No, she's from scran She is
from Philly. Yeah, you know, and but we don't. We
don't do Philly claim her that's Philly. Don't necessarily you

(01:47:13):
have some people, I mean, if we being.

Speaker 7 (01:47:15):
Sounds like an opportunitist to make.

Speaker 2 (01:47:16):
That's the problem. That's what people have a problem with,
because you want to claim Philly when it's necessary, when
you want to cred from it. You want to claim
your black side when you got the cred from it, right,
you want to claim uh, your standing in how good
you are when you got the cred from it. Now

(01:47:37):
you on the other side, and you don't even want
to claim but you're black anymore. You went from biracial
to now literally claiming that you're white so to speak,
which is a problem. It shows how fake you are.
And so that's what I got a problem with her, Like,
if you like it's okay to be it's okay to
be bi racial, it's okay to be biracial, right, not

(01:47:58):
the flip flop, but not the flip flop. Stand on
your position, right, So that makes me believe what you're
doing is a flip flop. That's why I have a problem.

Speaker 6 (01:48:07):
And just for conversation too, I don't know where that
I claimed by racial bi racial family members. You're black
and and I know it's going to be a shift
maybe years down the line, but am but right now
you're considered a black woman.

Speaker 7 (01:48:26):
She doesn't what the world does.

Speaker 2 (01:48:28):
And if you looked at how she looked at the
army picture.

Speaker 3 (01:48:32):
Right, and the people were saying that, like, I don't know, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:48:38):
She didn't look like how she looked when she was
on uh what high school?

Speaker 10 (01:48:42):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (01:48:43):
What's the reality show?

Speaker 7 (01:48:44):
She told her all she said, no, you don't want
to be black.

Speaker 2 (01:48:51):
There you go, And everyone shout out to Justine because
it's it's as crazy as people deem her to be.
She was one hundred percent accurate talking to Amberols during
that time, So kudos to her. Kudos, I love you, joh.

Speaker 3 (01:49:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:49:11):
And and.

Speaker 3 (01:49:13):
It was it was a few people of course that
were saying like, oh, she should be able to vote
the way she votes, and and everybody, everybody is allowed
to vote the way they vote. I don't think anybody
should get any backlash because they choose to vote with
a certain party. But I think when it comes to
black culture, because they brought her out and said like

(01:49:35):
she's a rapper influencer, wrong and wrong, wrong and wrong,
which which is rap is what culture.

Speaker 2 (01:49:45):
Right? And even Eminem will sit and say that I'm white,
but I give her march to Black culture of hip hop.
That's why Eminem deserved the accolades that most Black people.
All you want is credit. We just want our just
acknowledge it, acknowledge the f stuff that you did, right,
and we are heart with it. The problem we have

(01:50:07):
when they start denying, oh that's not yours. We stole that,
but it's not yours.

Speaker 13 (01:50:12):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:50:12):
I hate that type of thing, right, So all we
want is the credit and it accolades for what we did.
What we deserve. You give that to us, and we cool.
That's why reparations are so important. But go ahead, absolutely
jump off.

Speaker 3 (01:50:28):
Yeah, and you know, just to close it out with
a lot of people have problems that she.

Speaker 2 (01:50:36):
That you know, the.

Speaker 3 (01:50:38):
Everything that Project twenty five stands for it and then
go ahead, well, you know, the Republicans are pro life,
and people were saying she is not, and the Republicans
are anti LGBTQ.

Speaker 2 (01:50:57):
Yeah, and she is.

Speaker 3 (01:50:59):
She came out as bisexual, so people were just comparing,
you know, those things and just kind of calling her
out on that. All right, So the celebrity sizzle of
the day goes to Arihanna. Rihanna has announced that Feny

(01:51:19):
Beauty has partnered with the Paris Olympics and Paralympics. The
pars Paris Olympics is going to run July twenty sixth
through August the eleventh, and then the Paralympics is going
to be starting August twenty eighth through September eighth. But
Rihanna posted the announcement saying, tried to tell y'all we

(01:51:40):
outside twenty twenty four and she shared a photo of
her in front of the Eiffel Tower holding a huge
adult height sized slip gass. And then, according to the
press release, the fenty Beauty is going to give makeup
kits into toos to six hundred volunteers between ages of

lot of kits from I mean a lot of products

all this good stuff that's going to go out. So

(01:52:22):
shout out to her. This is huge for her line.
So yeah, so I'm Lawrence Isle and that was a sizzle.

Speaker 2 (01:52:30):
Now it was related to gentlemen, I'm your transgred.

Speaker 3 (01:52:33):
The beautiful Lawrence, beautiful class.

Speaker 2 (01:52:35):
As we talked weeklies after they're talking to w PP
MLP Philadelphia one on six point five's when we talked
weeklies after they're talking. That's all show, ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 5 (01:52:43):
Great.

Speaker 2 (01:52:44):
Yeah, we got about about six minutes left until If
I'm gonna just see this, whatever issue topics that you have,
or whatever position that you stand doing as it relates
to politics, it's okay. Don't let anyone bully you into
believing you have to lean on one side or another.

(01:53:07):
Believe what you believe, have some morals, has some ethics,
and vote that way, and vote that way, and.

Speaker 3 (01:53:18):
Do your research, both parties or even if it's independent,
do your research, and also do your research as to
if you do not show up to the polls, what
are the repercussions of those actions as well?

Speaker 7 (01:53:36):
Can you guys enlighten me. I don't know much about
what happened as far as the sniper, like the young
guy who did it. Did did they find out more information?

Speaker 5 (01:53:48):
And yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:53:50):
And I just feel like when it comes to him
to that sniper Thomas, I can't think of his last
name right now, but I just feel like what they
were expecting to find they really did not find because
they were combing through his social media and they didn't
find much about because usually they're signs and I think

(01:54:13):
they were looking for signs that he's, you know, posting
extremist stuff and.

Speaker 7 (01:54:20):
They say these different things.

Speaker 3 (01:54:21):
Yeah, and they didn't find that. But they did find
that he's a registered He was a registered Republican. I
think he did donate some money to Act Blue at
one point fifteen.

Speaker 2 (01:54:35):
They said a substantial amount. So I'm hearing a lot
of different.

Speaker 3 (01:54:39):
Oh, I initially heard fifteen, so I don't know if
they found other donations after that. But then he was
a part of the honor society. He was bullied in school.
He was a loner, typical signs of I guess.

Speaker 7 (01:54:55):
He had like a letter or anything, journals.

Speaker 3 (01:54:57):
Or I don't think they found any of that yet.

Speaker 7 (01:55:00):
So has his parents been interviewed.

Speaker 3 (01:55:03):
Or well, the father, as far as I've heard, he's cooperating.
I know that the day of the shooting, the young
man did ask his father who was on the rifle
is a rifle society or the rifle team in his school?
He was on it, but he was trying to get
on it. Or something like that, but they said he

(01:55:24):
was a bad shot, so he didn't He wasn't selected,
but he wanted to go to rifle practice, so he
did ask his dad to borrow his rifle. So the
dad gave it to him, and then I guess when
he didn't come home or anything, and then the dad
started hearing all this stuff on the news. He called
the police and then learned about what was happening.

Speaker 2 (01:55:44):
So I pulled up this is news eighteen dot com.
So I'm reading from news eighteen dot com and that's
what it says. So I'm not I didn't vet any
of this, but you can kind of go here. So
I'm giving you the source so you know where it's
come from. So it says one in a million, sniper shot,
drone surveillance, new details emerging Trump assassination bid. He says,

(01:56:07):
you look. US law enforcement officials have revealed that Thomas
Matthew Crooks, which was the shooter, the man who attempted
to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a campaign Riley
and Butler Pennsylvania, had flown a drone over the event
grounds earlier that day. I did hear that Crooks twenty
conducted surveillance at the Butler Farm shown fair grounds on

(01:56:31):
July thirteen, before trump appearance. The Wall Street Journal reporter
officials indicated that Crooks had meticulously, particulously planned attack, starting
his research on July third, shortly after the event was announced.
He reportedly resigned or registered for the rally on July seventh,
and visited the site days later to scope it out.

(01:56:53):
Hmm interesting. The fatal shot ended the cooks. I just
was reading, so y'all can kind of go here. I'm
not going to read everything because it's pretty long, but
I'll read this last paragraph. The fatal shot into Crook's
attempt was described as a one in a million shot.
Fox News reported, citing and insight of familiar with the probe.
The report said that a secret Service counter sniper, hindered

(01:57:15):
by the roof's lip, managed to hit Crooks with a
single shot, which was cool. It was a good shot. However,
the local tactical team missed their target. Crooks was observed
pacing next to a warehouse building as a crowd gathered
for Trump's rolly. So apparently people were seeing this guy
and they gave the information and they just ignored it.

Speaker 6 (01:57:37):
So and that's I think, No, no, you go, I
was gonna say, I think this is where liberty Twitter
was talking about with the liberalism, like it's when have
we ever had our security so lax?

Speaker 7 (01:57:51):
Why this is the US?

Speaker 6 (01:57:53):
Like it was it was a lax system for security
and you had two presidents there, one former president Trump
was a former president and one current president.

Speaker 7 (01:58:04):
Like this just should have been like Fort Knops. It's
always we have to do something after.

Speaker 6 (01:58:09):
It's like, why don't we think about preventive measures opposed
to let's take medication after we've already been sick. Now
it's going to just be like a nine to eleven. Oh,
we're gonna make sure every time. But you know what
I'm saying, like there were two presidents in this this
this arena and you let somebody come through, Like what

(01:58:29):
does that say to our securities?

Speaker 3 (01:58:32):
Yeah? And I I mean I had my own little
theory on this, and I kind of think like what
happened was, you know, because they had the secret Service
that was within the arena of the rally and all that,
and then that separate location was like the staging area
for local police and you know, local authorities, and when

(01:58:57):
it comes to and I don't know much about Butler, PA.
But when it comes to like local authorities, you know,
some areas have like a small township, they have a
small police police force. Now if this had been Philly,
they would a Philly would have had that area type
because we have a huge police force within the city.

(01:59:17):
And I think the Secret Service probably assumed that they
I feel like there wasn't like a tight connection there
because the Secret Service probably was assuming that, like they
you know, local, they have their job, they got that.
You know, they're over there and they're handling it. But
I feel like they were And that's.

Speaker 7 (01:59:34):
The whole point.

Speaker 6 (01:59:35):
You see it in so many movies that it's the
small counties, it's the small this, oh, we don't need
to really worry about it. It's the bigger cities that
we need to know. That's where you always get. That's
where you get got in the parts where you feel
as though you don't even need to.

Speaker 3 (01:59:53):
Be that concern, and you have those people that are
looking for just that tiny breach where they can get
in and do something.

Speaker 7 (01:59:59):
Because cause I saw where the snipers were up there,
and it's.

Speaker 3 (02:00:03):
Like they had their eye on him for twenty minutes.

Speaker 7 (02:00:05):
Right, But he shouldn't even got a shot off. People died,
there was there was casualties. There, there was you know,
collateral dances, guitarrible.

Speaker 3 (02:00:15):
I don't condone any type of violence on any political
landscape at all.

Speaker 2 (02:00:21):
