[5:47] Speaker 3: President Joe Biden, President Bill Clinton, President George W. Bush.
[5:53] Speaker 3: It was the opening of the museum and grounds. It's
[5:55] Speaker 3: a nineteen acre facility there you see. Of course, Vice

[6:10] Speaker 3: jair To, a CEO of the Obama Foundation, gave the
[6:13] Speaker 3: official welcome to the event.
[6:19] Speaker 10: Good morning to all of you who are here in Chicago,
[6:23] Speaker 10: who traveled from near and far. Oh my goodness, you're
[6:27] Speaker 10: here to celebrate with us, and many of you came
[6:29] Speaker 10: through some pretty atrocious weather. And to everyone watching from home,
[6:35] Speaker 10: this is a glorious day and it is for all
[6:38] Speaker 10: of you. And the sun is out, so we want
[6:40] Speaker 10: you to enjoy the moment. Yes, I am thrilled to
[6:47] Speaker 10: officially welcome you to the opening of the Obama Presidential Center. Now,
[6:56] Speaker 10: this center is not a traditional museum, nor is today
[7:00] Speaker 10: a traditional ribbon cutting. It's a day for music, for fun,
[7:04] Speaker 10: and of course they won't surprise you for hope. Looking
[7:08] Speaker 10: out at this fabulous crowd, I have to tell you
[7:11] Speaker 10: I am so tempted to sing my own rendition of
[7:15] Speaker 10: amazing grace.
[7:18] Speaker 4: But I think I'll say that for another day.
[7:20] Speaker 10: Instead, I invite everyone to cheer and dance and get
[7:23] Speaker 10: on your feets and enjoy yourselves. This is a campus
[7:27] Speaker 10: for everybody, whether you live down the street or on
[7:30] Speaker 10: the other side of the world.
[7:33] Speaker 3: And we hope you are.
[7:34] Speaker 10: Going to come back again and again. To President and

[7:43] Speaker 10: Doctor Biden, all of our foreign dignitaries and elected officials
[7:47] Speaker 10: who are here.
[7:49] Speaker 3: We are honored by your presence.
[7:55] Speaker 10: To our Obama campaign on White House teams, to our
[7:58] Speaker 10: generous supporters. This day would not have been possible without you.
[8:04] Speaker 3: To our neighbors who.
[8:05] Speaker 10: Showed up to countless community meetings and share their hopes
[8:09] Speaker 10: and dreams and yes, their concerns with us.
[8:13] Speaker 4: We hope we have made you prime to.
[8:16] Speaker 3: The for my first Lady Michelle Obama's living a powerful
[8:18] Speaker 3: speech at the opening, singing her husband's praises.
[8:23] Speaker 9: I got my.
[8:24] Speaker 11: Tissue in hand. I don't know about all of you. Wow,
[8:30] Speaker 11: hello everyone, and what a beautiful day right. Nothing like
[8:36] Speaker 11: a project by my husband to bring out the sun.
[8:40] Speaker 11: Let me start by thanking Addison for that magnificent introduction
[8:47] Speaker 11: and for exemplifying the heart, excellence and determination that has
[8:52] Speaker 11: blossomed blossomed.
[8:53] Speaker 9: Right here on the South Side for a very long time.
[8:57] Speaker 11: I also want to send some love to everyone who
[9:01] Speaker 11: made this day a reality. The construction workers, landscapers, designers,
[9:08] Speaker 11: the architects, artists, chefs, our staff, our board members, our donors.
[9:16] Speaker 11: Barack and I simply cannot thank you enough for the
[9:20] Speaker 11: care and brilliance you poured into every square inch of
[9:25] Speaker 11: this campus. I also want to recognize all of the
[9:29] Speaker 11: elected officials and distinguished leaders from around the city, the state,
[9:35] Speaker 11: the country, and yes the world.
[9:37] Speaker 9: Idy the state, the country, and yes, the world.
[9:42] Speaker 11: Thank you for being here to celebrate with us, Especially
[9:47] Speaker 11: to all of my fellow farmers.
[9:51] Speaker 9: To Joe and Jill, George and Laura.
[9:57] Speaker 11: Bill and Hillary, thank you from the bottom of my
[10:01] Speaker 11: heart for your service to our country over so many years,
[10:07] Speaker 11: and for your constant friendship and support of our family.
[10:13] Speaker 9: We love you, guys, truly.
[10:17] Speaker 11: To our daughters, Malia and Sasha, who will always be
[10:23] Speaker 11: my babies, even though we're.
[10:27] Speaker 9: No longer playing hide and seek on the South lawn
[10:29] Speaker 9: with Bo.
[10:32] Speaker 11: Or hosting sleepovers in the solarium, I see a lot
[10:35] Speaker 11: of some sleepover girls here. You both have grown into
[10:40] Speaker 11: such brilliant and beautiful young women making your way out there.
[10:45] Speaker 12: In the world.
[10:49] Speaker 11: Thank you for bringing so much joy and spirit and
[10:53] Speaker 11: energy to a life you had no voice in choosing,
[10:58] Speaker 11: and for making us proud step of the way.
[11:01] Speaker 9: Love you, baby. Oh so, please indulge me for a moment,
[11:09] Speaker 9: because I'm gonna take a little time to do something.
[11:11] Speaker 11: That I know my husband will not do today, and
[11:14] Speaker 11: that is to fully sing his praises.
[11:24] Speaker 9: Barack. Yes, you gotta look at me.
[11:31] Speaker 11: You told me all those years ago that you couldn't
[11:34] Speaker 11: promise me the world, but you could promise me an
[11:37] Speaker 11: interesting life, and of course you outdid yourself and managed
[11:43] Speaker 11: to give me both. I know it hasn't always been easy,
[11:47] Speaker 11: but there hasn't been a single second through this experience
[11:53] Speaker 11: that standing by your side hasn't left.
[11:56] Speaker 4: Me in awe.
[11:59] Speaker 11: Eight years in the Crucible, and not once did you
[12:03] Speaker 11: melt from the heat, not once did you let it
[12:07] Speaker 11: harden you.
[12:11] Speaker 9: Instead, you used it to reveal.
[12:15] Speaker 11: Your truest essence, your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage, your
[12:23] Speaker 11: dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency, your ferocious work, ethic, an
[12:30] Speaker 11: absolutely unshakable moral.
[12:33] Speaker 9: Fiber, and to do it all as a first and
[12:44] Speaker 9: the higher standard that comes with all that.
[12:48] Speaker 11: The claims that a US senator and constitutional law expert
[12:53] Speaker 11: wasn't qualified for the job, the lies about your birthright,
[12:58] Speaker 11: your faith patriotism, the outrage when you stated the biological
[13:04] Speaker 11: fact that if you'd had a son, that he too
[13:07] Speaker 11: would be black. Yet you were unflappable at every turn,
[13:15] Speaker 11: always focused, always calm, always looking at the long view. Tuh,
[13:24] Speaker 11: How absurd it is to even imagine that you might
[13:29] Speaker 11: have buckled under the pressure, even once lashed out in frustration,
[13:37] Speaker 11: lost your temper. How absurd it is to imagine that
[13:44] Speaker 11: you might have done anything but make our family and
[13:47] Speaker 11: this entire country proud.
[13:54] Speaker 3: Former Pressident Obama Christian is Presidential Center with a speech
[13:58] Speaker 3: thacking the people the city that led the way for
[14:00] Speaker 3: him to go to the Oval office.
[14:03] Speaker 12: Just Bush, President, Secretary Clinton, thank you for being with
[14:08] Speaker 12: us today and for your devotion to.
[14:11] Speaker 4: Our country.
[14:16] Speaker 12: And President and doctor Biden, thank you for your steadfast
[14:22] Speaker 12: partnership for eight years.
[14:27] Speaker 1: Joe.
[14:28] Speaker 12: We started as running mates and ended his family, and
[14:34] Speaker 12: we would not be here without you, and we are
[14:37] Speaker 12: grateful to our amazing foundation staff and our amazing board.
[14:51] Speaker 12: To Governor Pritzker, Mayor Johnson, thank you for making this
[14:59] Speaker 12: center possib To congressional leaders and foreign dignitaries have made
[15:08] Speaker 12: the trip. I cherish our partnership together and all we
[15:12] Speaker 12: got accomplished together.
[15:13] Speaker 4: Thank you to Michelle. She did me wrong. She wouldn't
[15:28] Speaker 4: let me see her speech.
[15:31] Speaker 3: She knew she was going to.
[15:33] Speaker 12: Mess me up, and she did it anyway. But she's
[15:40] Speaker 12: always made me better and I could not be more grateful.
[15:46] Speaker 12: And to Sasha and Malia, what can I say? You
[15:50] Speaker 12: mean everything to me. More than forty years ago, on
[16:00] Speaker 12: a late summer afternoon in nineteen eighty five, I arrived
[16:05] Speaker 12: here in Chicago, entering the city through the very spot
[16:12] Speaker 12: where this center now stands. I can still picture myself
[16:19] Speaker 12: head down what was then Cornell Drive, in a janky
[16:25] Speaker 12: used car that I'd bought in New York, with all
[16:28] Speaker 12: my worldly possessions stuffed in the trunk and the back seat,
[16:33] Speaker 12: so I really couldn't see out of the rear view mirror,
[16:37] Speaker 12: and I was a safety hazard. And I was twenty
[16:43] Speaker 12: three years old. I had just been hired by a
[16:47] Speaker 12: group of churches on the South Side to help organize
[16:53] Speaker 12: a part of the city that had been battered by.
[16:56] Speaker 4: Steel plant closings and chronic neglect.
[17:03] Speaker 12: And I didn't have much organizing experience, didn't know anybody
[17:10] Speaker 12: in Chicago. But I had been inspired by the Civil
[17:17] Speaker 12: rights movement, and I knew I wanted to make a difference.
[17:24] Speaker 12: And although I wasn't sure exactly how I was going
[17:28] Speaker 12: to do that, I was possessed with this abiding faith
[17:38] Speaker 12: that if we could give people more of a say
[17:40] Speaker 12: in the forces that govern their lives, if we could
[17:45] Speaker 12: bridge some of the differences that drove us apart, then
[17:51] Speaker 12: we could build in America where everyone counts, and everyone
[17:56] Speaker 12: has a fair shot, and everyone belongs, even a mixed
[18:05] Speaker 12: race kid with a weird backstory and a name nobody
[18:08] Speaker 12: could pronounce.
[18:15] Speaker 4: And it was here, in this city, a city of
[18:19] Speaker 4: broad shoulders, that I found what I was looking for.
[18:29] Speaker 12: Day by day, block by block, I got to know
[18:31] Speaker 12: the people who lived here, their hopes, their dreams, their tragedies,
[18:38] Speaker 12: and their triumphs.
[18:41] Speaker 4: I witnessed their resilience in the face of.
[18:44] Speaker 12: Hardship, and the quiet heroism of a single mom raising
[18:50] Speaker 12: her kids and sending them to college on a secretary salary,
[18:55] Speaker 12: or the priest electing to stay in the city and
[19:00] Speaker 12: open his doors to add rescues even as most of
[19:05] Speaker 12: his flock had fled to the suburbs. I learned the
[19:12] Speaker 12: leadership has less to do with titles or rank or
[19:15] Speaker 12: chasing attention, then with helping others find their voice, reaching
[19:22] Speaker 12: their potential, and sitting around people's kitchen tables or on
[19:30] Speaker 12: their back porches, spending time in church basements and barbershops.
[19:38] Speaker 4: I was reminded that.
[19:39] Speaker 12: Everyone has a story to tell if you just care
[19:44] Speaker 12: to listen, sacred stories full of courage and humor and grace,
[19:56] Speaker 12: and that each of those stories in some way connected
[19:58] Speaker 12: to my own. In other words, I found my purpose here,
[20:06] Speaker 12: and I fortified my faith here, and I found my
[20:10] Speaker 12: community here, friendships.
[20:13] Speaker 4: That would last a lifetime. And I found a girl
[20:18] Speaker 4: from the South Side who has been my greatest blessing.
[20:26] Speaker 4: Michelle and I.
[20:27] Speaker 12: Our wedding reception was over at South Shore Cultural Center.
[20:32] Speaker 12: You could walk walk from here. Our daughters were born
[20:39] Speaker 12: right down the street.
[20:42] Speaker 4: This is where we bought our first home. This is
[20:46] Speaker 4: where our kids took their first steps.
[20:51] Speaker 7: This is where I.
[20:51] Speaker 12: Launched my candidacy for the Illinois State Senate over at
[20:57] Speaker 12: the Ramada Inn on Lake Shore Drive, serving pretzels and soda,
[21:07] Speaker 12: embarking on the path that ultimately and then probably.
[21:14] Speaker 4: Led to this day. So for me, this center could
[21:21] Speaker 4: not be anyplace else.
[21:26] Speaker 12: It's an expression of thanks, an acknowledgment that so much
[21:31] Speaker 12: of what I hold most dear I owe to the
[21:34] Speaker 12: people of this city and the people of these surrounding neighborhoods.
[21:44] Speaker 12: And it's why we designed the center not to be
[21:48] Speaker 12: some lifeless mausoleum I am too young for that, not
[21:56] Speaker 12: just a place to see Michelle's dresses, although I understand
[22:00] Speaker 12: that will be the top attraction. We wanted it to
[22:05] Speaker 12: be a vibrant, living, celebration of community where we can
[22:12] Speaker 12: learn together and share the joys of art and music
[22:17] Speaker 12: and sport and play, because.
[22:24] Speaker 4: It's end to us moments that we're reminded of our
[22:29] Speaker 4: common humanity.
[22:35] Speaker 12: And strengthen the bonds of trust that not only make
[22:39] Speaker 12: our lives richer, but make our democracy stronger. And we
[22:47] Speaker 12: also wanted this center to be a celebration of the
[22:51] Speaker 12: extraordinary public servants, many of whom are here today, that
[22:56] Speaker 12: made this journey possible. Some of you helped get me elected.
[23:04] Speaker 12: Some of you I had to talk into joining my administration.
[23:10] Speaker 12: Some of you were seasoned veterans who helped show a
[23:15] Speaker 12: rookie president the ropes.
[23:19] Speaker 4: But a lot of you were younger than I was
[23:22] Speaker 4: when I first drove into the city.
[23:27] Speaker 12: We're all a bit older now. Many of you have
[23:29] Speaker 12: children of your own, even grandchildren. But the passage of
[23:34] Speaker 12: time has only deepened my admiration for your talent, and your.
[23:38] Speaker 4: Dedication and your skill.
[23:41] Speaker 12: It's only deepened my gratitude for how much you and
[23:44] Speaker 12: your famili's.
[23:46] Speaker 4: Sacrifice to make this country better.
[23:48] Speaker 12: So when you visit this center today or in days
[23:52] Speaker 12: to come, I hope you see yourselves and your hard
[23:55] Speaker 12: work reflected in every exhibit, and I hope you take
[24:00] Speaker 12: ride and what we accomplish together.
[24:04] Speaker 4: You made that happen.
[24:12] Speaker 12: Now, of course, we did not accomplish everything we set
[24:15] Speaker 12: out to do. No administration does. Some of the exhibits
[24:22] Speaker 12: reflect unfinished business in some cases, my own shortcomings and
[24:27] Speaker 12: mistakes in some cases because as a sign I kept
[24:32] Speaker 12: on the resolute desk red hard things are hard.
[24:38] Speaker 4: And that's especially true in a big, raucous, diverse argumentative
[24:48] Speaker 4: democracy like the United States of America.
[24:53] Speaker 13: Everybody's got an opinion, and that means getting stuff done
[24:59] Speaker 13: involves record sigling the demands of a couple one hundred
[25:02] Speaker 13: million people.
[25:07] Speaker 4: Democracy can be frustrating, it can be slow, it can be.
[25:12] Speaker 12: Inefficient, and yet, more than anything, I hope this center
[25:19] Speaker 12: will serve as an affirmation of just how special precious
[25:25] Speaker 12: our democracy truly is and remind us what we can
[25:29] Speaker 12: achieve when we embrace our shared responsibilities as citizens.
[25:38] Speaker 3: Folks. You can catch the full stream obviously on the
[25:43] Speaker 3: Obama Foundation and YouTube channels bringing my PAN dot. The
[25:45] Speaker 3: Greg Cart Department of Afro American Studies, HOW University out
[25:49] Speaker 3: of DC Recent COVID hosts the recent COVID shows. Heis
[25:51] Speaker 3: XM Radio, also from DC. Doctor Larry J. Walker, Social Professor,
[25:55] Speaker 3: University of Central Florida out of Lando. I'll start with
[25:58] Speaker 3: you rec today historic opening of the Obama Presidential Center,
[26:03] Speaker 3: first black president, forty fourth president in this country. Is
[26:07] Speaker 3: your thoughts on today?
[26:10] Speaker 14: I thought it was a beautiful day. I lived in
[26:12] Speaker 14: Chicago through Obama's second term, so I know how much
[26:16] Speaker 14: Chicago means to President Obama and how much President Obama
[26:20] Speaker 14: and the Obama family means to Chicago. So I wish
[26:24] Speaker 14: that I wish something like this was around when I
[26:27] Speaker 14: was there. But to see the South Side transformed and
[26:31] Speaker 14: become a kind of a mecca of Obama, you know,
[26:36] Speaker 14: his term and what he's done is so so heartwarming
[26:39] Speaker 14: to see and it's just good to see decency. It's
[26:42] Speaker 14: good to see President Obama celebrate it. I think now
[26:46] Speaker 14: we take for granted, with this critical culture about everything
[26:50] Speaker 14: nickpicking people to death, we take for granted how significant
[26:55] Speaker 14: it was to have a President Obama, to have a
[26:58] Speaker 14: Michelle Obama, to have a Sasha Maalia Obama be the
[27:01] Speaker 14: first family, and even to have a Marion Robinson be
[27:04] Speaker 14: the first Grandma of the United States. And so I'm
[27:07] Speaker 14: really happy to see him and his family be able
[27:10] Speaker 14: to kind of take back their legacy away from just
[27:14] Speaker 14: the hypercritical political critique around it and really put it
[27:19] Speaker 14: in perspective about how much they were able to accomplish
[27:22] Speaker 14: and how tough it was during those times. It's never
[27:25] Speaker 14: been easy to be a Democrat in this country to
[27:28] Speaker 14: get things done. The Tea Party sprung up, they had
[27:30] Speaker 14: effigies of Obama burning when he got into the White House.
[27:34] Speaker 14: They had Mitch McConnell's vowing to make him a one
[27:37] Speaker 14: term president and did it. And so I think that
[27:41] Speaker 14: he deserves this, Michelle deserves this, Chicago deserves this. So
[27:44] Speaker 14: I'm really really happy to see today and I'm happy
[27:48] Speaker 14: to see that there is a place that feels a
[27:50] Speaker 14: little bit more normal than the white trash house that
[27:53] Speaker 14: we have here in DC right now.
[27:55] Speaker 3: Obviously, it was a significant gathering, eight hundred and fifty
[27:59] Speaker 3: million dollar facility, Larry Uh, and we were, you know,
[28:04] Speaker 3: we were there a couple of weeks ago where they
[28:06] Speaker 3: had a grand opening.
[28:08] Speaker 12: Uh.
[28:08] Speaker 3: Took a tour of it and it The whole idea
[28:12] Speaker 3: with this camp is is that it's not just a
[28:16] Speaker 3: traditional presidentiy museum. You've got a garden, you've got a playground,
[28:21] Speaker 3: you've got a four court gymnasium, you've got even this
[28:25] Speaker 3: uh this slide best there as well, and so uh
[28:29] Speaker 3: and then once you go in, it's not just focused
[28:32] Speaker 3: on his eight years as president, but also it deals
[28:36] Speaker 3: with other issues that the civil rights uh and the
[28:39] Speaker 3: continuing quest for democracy in this country.
[28:44] Speaker 15: And Roland, I think the really interesting thing about what
[28:46] Speaker 15: President Obama you highlighting the clip that you played is
[28:49] Speaker 15: that he is still really young. And I think that
[28:52] Speaker 15: what you described about, you know, the facility, and you know,
[28:56] Speaker 15: he in not being like a mausoleum because he's got
[28:59] Speaker 15: you know, certainly a lot more years in terms of
[29:01] Speaker 15: public service that can contribute not only to the United States,
[29:04] Speaker 15: to the world. But I want to go to some
[29:06] Speaker 15: back to something you know Recie talked about is and
[29:09] Speaker 15: hearing him talk it reminds me of the importance of
[29:12] Speaker 15: class in our society and obviously there's a lack of that.
[29:17] Speaker 15: We really miss him as president. To hear him speak
[29:19] Speaker 15: and be clear and concise about what he's talking about,
[29:23] Speaker 15: and also you know, highlighting his journey and which essentially
[29:27] Speaker 15: is is the American dream despite all of the things
[29:31] Speaker 15: he had to deal with, and let's remind the most
[29:33] Speaker 15: controversial thing that he did was worth tan suit and
[29:38] Speaker 15: in comparison to all other issues we had to deal
[29:40] Speaker 15: with from the White House over the last couple of months,
[29:42] Speaker 15: even within the last few days. But now certainly want
[29:45] Speaker 15: to congratulated the Obama's This is a major accomplishment. This
[29:48] Speaker 15: is a note the first black president in US history,
[29:52] Speaker 15: and once again hearing him speak as a reminder of
[29:55] Speaker 15: that hope and you know, and the pride that many
[29:59] Speaker 15: afric Americans had throughout his presidency.
[30:01] Speaker 2: And no president is you know, it is perfect.
[30:04] Speaker 15: But once again, it's it's it's it's refreshing to see
[30:08] Speaker 15: some class and to be able to clearly articulate what
[30:12] Speaker 15: is some of the more important things as relates to
[30:14] Speaker 15: what a true democracy is supposed to be.
[30:17] Speaker 3: You know, one of the things that this is, this
[30:20] Speaker 3: is first of all, not a presidential center, Greg, that
[30:23] Speaker 3: will be under the government's control. It's a private foundation
[30:27] Speaker 3: in terms of how it's set up. Also, you know,
[30:31] Speaker 3: they plan on hosting any number of other things. And
[30:35] Speaker 3: I think that when you look at other presidential centers,
[30:39] Speaker 3: I dare say presidential libraries, I dare say, Greg, the
[30:44] Speaker 3: model truly is Jimmy Carter in terms of the work
[30:48] Speaker 3: of a former president and how he used the Carter
[30:52] Speaker 3: Center and his work across the world to really advance
[30:56] Speaker 3: democracy and to challenge dictators. So he really is, I believe,
[31:02] Speaker 3: the gold standard in terms of how a former president
[31:06] Speaker 3: can still be a public servant.
[31:12] Speaker 7: I think you may be right, Rome.
[31:15] Speaker 6: We'll see in fifty years what John Aussip does. People
[31:18] Speaker 6: are trying to move into sometime I think twenty first century.
[31:21] Speaker 6: Jimmy Caark, who knows, but you know, I've been to
[31:23] Speaker 6: Hegia a dozen times. I know what it looks like
[31:27] Speaker 6: to attempt to build on a monumental scale in a
[31:32] Speaker 6: way that will put your stamp on the earth, that
[31:35] Speaker 6: will survive your death. The Minute of Pharaoh was elevated
[31:40] Speaker 6: to the Pharaoh position. They began working on there too.
[31:45] Speaker 6: This obelisk the north end of Jackson Park with black polus, barbecue,
[31:52] Speaker 6: golf and all that kind of thing, and those things
[31:54] Speaker 6: are still there.
[31:56] Speaker 7: Is on the south side, it's in Hyde Park.
[32:00] Speaker 6: I think this is an attempt, as all presidents do,
[32:05] Speaker 6: to not only narrate and shape the narrative in terms
[32:10] Speaker 6: of what the president did, but to shape the future
[32:15] Speaker 6: narratives of what he did. Before I say anything else,
[32:18] Speaker 6: I just want to say this rem dot Jeremiah Wright.
[32:21] Speaker 7: We love you. We understand that while the wedding.
[32:25] Speaker 6: Reception was at south Shore Culture Center that I've been
[32:27] Speaker 6: meant too many times, and y'all have been too many times.
[32:30] Speaker 6: The wedding was a Trinity United Church of Christ about
[32:35] Speaker 6: eight miles from there, so that haven't been said. This
[32:39] Speaker 6: This center is inspirational. There's gonna be a lot of
[32:41] Speaker 6: good work that comes out of it. And it's a
[32:44] Speaker 6: very deliberate attempt to narrate the Obama presidency. And I
[32:51] Speaker 6: think what Barack Obama represents. And I don't think that
[32:54] Speaker 6: black people in this country will be able to have
[32:56] Speaker 6: matured conversation about the Obama presidency in my lifetime. I
[33:01] Speaker 6: would love to see it, but I don't expect it
[33:02] Speaker 6: to been traumatized too much, and it's very difficult for us.
[33:06] Speaker 6: I wonder how they will treat foreign policy, particularly the
[33:08] Speaker 6: destabilization of North Africa and some other things. Deportations maybe
[33:12] Speaker 6: to be talked about, maybe want I'm looking forward to
[33:14] Speaker 6: looking through everything, although not researching, because you said it's
[33:17] Speaker 6: a presidential center. The archives are here in the DMV
[33:23] Speaker 6: in College Park at the National Archives. It's not a
[33:25] Speaker 6: slip of paper in this completely digital Barack Obama archive.
[33:30] Speaker 7: And you know that was very deliberate.
[33:32] Speaker 6: As Valerie Jeriett has said, you know, the days of
[33:35] Speaker 6: putting stuff in paper are over. Thank god that that's
[33:38] Speaker 6: not the case. But at any rate, it's going to
[33:42] Speaker 6: be a lot of inspiration. I think everything from interest
[33:47] Speaker 6: con is the letters ensconced there.
[33:51] Speaker 7: In that beautiful hall there.
[33:52] Speaker 6: I think it's the eighth floor, you know, the skyroom,
[33:54] Speaker 6: which are from the speech that he gave on the
[33:56] Speaker 6: fiftieth anniversary of the selling of Montgomery March time him
[34:00] Speaker 6: to that civil rights tradition, while at the same time
[34:03] Speaker 6: not allowing himself to be so tied to that tradition
[34:07] Speaker 6: that it doesn't afford for the kind of neoliberal politics
[34:10] Speaker 6: of the Democratic Party, including Bill Clinton and others whose predecessors,
[34:15] Speaker 6: for all their rhetoric, would have been on the other side.
[34:18] Speaker 6: I think in many ways of that movement. I don't
[34:20] Speaker 6: care volunteer calls and bones. Bill Clinton, We're very clear
[34:23] Speaker 6: about who you are. Certain inn Jadeka Crosby's portrait of
[34:27] Speaker 6: the Obama's beautiful. I think the art, the music, the
[34:30] Speaker 6: light is going to be a beautiful conversation. They're going
[34:33] Speaker 6: to be incredible things there. And at the same time,
[34:37] Speaker 6: with those possibilities, I think the limits of the presidency
[34:41] Speaker 6: as a conduit for black power in this country are
[34:45] Speaker 6: also represented by the Obamas. I respect the President, I
[34:49] Speaker 6: respect the First Lady, I respect their vision for a
[34:52] Speaker 6: more perfect union, and I absolutely understand that this is
[34:55] Speaker 6: a criminal enterprise that cannot be redeemed, and as Sterling
[34:58] Speaker 6: Brown said, wants to be integrated into American society. But
[35:03] Speaker 6: at the heart of the word integration is integer. I
[35:06] Speaker 6: want to come in as my whole self, and I
[35:09] Speaker 6: can't wait to see how the question of black power,
[35:13] Speaker 6: black political power, black cultural powers there pay Stevie Wonder
[35:16] Speaker 6: is great common you know it's great, but black political
[35:19] Speaker 6: power in the South Side twenty years he was a
[35:21] Speaker 6: member of Trinity United Church of Christ getting married. He
[35:25] Speaker 6: in instead when he came to Chicago, those people embraced
[35:29] Speaker 6: him and allowed him to become part of a community
[35:32] Speaker 6: where Jeremiah Wright and that congregation was solving the question
[35:35] Speaker 6: of class. Not class in terms of how you dress
[35:38] Speaker 6: and how you appear, but social and political and economic class,
[35:42] Speaker 6: and how the black elite must not separate themselves from
[35:47] Speaker 6: the black masses. I want to see how that's grappled
[35:49] Speaker 6: with in this center that's going to try very hard
[35:52] Speaker 6: to narrate that Obama presidency.
[35:54] Speaker 7: So I guess, I guess brother will see.
[35:58] Speaker 3: And as always, any presidential museum is about uh show,
[36:04] Speaker 3: forming a narrative and framing it in a way uh
[36:09] Speaker 3: that uh that they like, I mean, that's always been
[36:12] Speaker 3: the goal. Whether I mean, hell you, Richard Nixon did
[36:15] Speaker 3: that with his library. You go to the Reagan Library
[36:19] Speaker 3: uh in Simi Valley, California, the LBJ Library and the
[36:22] Speaker 3: campus of the University of Texas, the George W. Bush
[36:24] Speaker 3: Library at Southern Memphis University in Dallas, the George H. W.
[36:29] Speaker 3: Bush Library at Texas A and the University and College station.
[36:31] Speaker 3: I mean, that's what uh, that's what they That's that's
[36:34] Speaker 3: what they do.
[36:37] Speaker 1: It.
[36:37] Speaker 3: You know, you know, Larry makes Larry great makes a
[36:40] Speaker 3: point in terms of when he says, how how African
[36:43] Speaker 3: Americans are going to uh view the presidency uh and
[36:49] Speaker 3: and and the reality is that even now, I mean,
[36:52] Speaker 3: there are people who do not do not tolerate any
[36:57] Speaker 3: type of criticism, uh, the discussion. You know. You know,
[37:03] Speaker 3: I've had folks close to the Obama's say, Man Roland,
[37:08] Speaker 3: while we were so tough, and I said, let me
[37:10] Speaker 3: be what I've always said, is this here. And I
[37:13] Speaker 3: actually said this before he was inaugurated. I wrote this
[37:17] Speaker 3: in Essence magazine. I put this in my book as well,
[37:21] Speaker 3: when I said, when I said, the achievement is not
[37:26] Speaker 3: electing him. The goal is what do you then do
[37:29] Speaker 3: with that power? And and that's really what it's all about.
[37:33] Speaker 3: So I don't care whether it's President Obama, whether it's
[37:37] Speaker 3: Governor Wes Moore, whether you got Aaron Ford, the attorney
[37:40] Speaker 3: Drenalin Nevada who's running for governor right now. We he's
[37:43] Speaker 3: a capital with the Texas A and M together, whether
[37:46] Speaker 3: you have somebody who's a mayor or a city council member,
[37:49] Speaker 3: school board member, county commissioner. I really do believe that
[37:54] Speaker 3: what we have to do as African Americans is look
[37:57] Speaker 3: at somebody and celebrate. So in the case of Obama,
[38:01] Speaker 3: it was, yes, the first black president, but I think
[38:04] Speaker 3: for many of us we forgot he was a forty
[38:05] Speaker 3: fourth uh and so so. So now now that this
[38:10] Speaker 3: is built and people will visit and obviously people in
[38:12] Speaker 3: chats and now I've got my tickets, the question then becomes, Okay,
[38:17] Speaker 3: what now, how what role can he and she still
[38:22] Speaker 3: play as public service beyond uh their Netflix deal or
[38:28] Speaker 3: their media deal.
[38:29] Speaker 1: Uh.
[38:29] Speaker 3: There still are substantial issues that we are being confronted
[38:34] Speaker 3: with in this country but also in this world. Greg
[38:38] Speaker 3: talks about African nations, Uh, this is all uh, you know,
[38:44] Speaker 3: what's on the table, and so I think that's also
[38:48] Speaker 3: how folks are going to be, uh to be looking
[38:50] Speaker 3: at this. And uh it's one thing to say, sure,
[38:53] Speaker 3: let's visit a president or center and let's relive those
[38:57] Speaker 3: glory days, but I also those days that put us
[39:03] Speaker 3: in a position we're in now because of the white
[39:05] Speaker 3: backlash that followed those days.
[39:12] Speaker 15: Yeah, you know, absolutely rolling, and I think it's really
[39:15] Speaker 15: important that you know, we talked about you know, President Obama,
[39:18] Speaker 15: Governor Moore, and obviously when these we have these first
[39:22] Speaker 15: we knowed we celebrated as a as a as a community,
[39:26] Speaker 15: but your how you your politics and government also matter
[39:30] Speaker 15: and are critical. Right once we once we've checked that box,
[39:34] Speaker 15: what are things that you what a sacrifices you're willing
[39:37] Speaker 15: to do to make sure that the people who supported you,
[39:41] Speaker 15: As he talked about when he was a state senator,
[39:42] Speaker 15: I remember, you know, him losing when he ran for
[39:45] Speaker 15: Congress and losing to Bobby Rush, and that helped in
[39:49] Speaker 15: many ways kind of have reorient in terms of where
[39:52] Speaker 15: he ended up down the line and becoming the first
[39:54] Speaker 15: black president. But it's really important, particularly during these days,
[39:57] Speaker 15: you know, and you highlighted you mentioned many carters as
[40:01] Speaker 15: an example in terms of the work he did after
[40:04] Speaker 15: in many respects known of the work he did after
[40:06] Speaker 15: he left the presidency. President Obama has the opportunity, considering
[40:10] Speaker 15: he talked about his age and his connections and the
[40:13] Speaker 15: resources available to really do some things in terms of
[40:17] Speaker 15: making sure in particular that some of the challenges to
[40:19] Speaker 15: African American community is encountering and other minoritized groups that
[40:23] Speaker 15: he makes he's willing to really step out there and
[40:28] Speaker 15: avoid in many respects in terms of some of the
[40:30] Speaker 15: things resources money he can raise, not only there in Chicago, Illinois,
[40:34] Speaker 15: but places like Philly where I'm from, and other you know,
[40:36] Speaker 15: rural areas where there are a lot of black folks
[40:38] Speaker 15: in Mississippi and Louisiana, et cetera. To make sure we
[40:41] Speaker 15: address issues relating to public health, to politics, and getting
[40:45] Speaker 15: more elected officials considering off the anti jener marindering laws
[40:48] Speaker 15: we're dealing with. So he has an opportunity to, like
[40:51] Speaker 15: I said, to fill a void in terms of addressing
[40:53] Speaker 15: certain issues. Some banks say that's a lot of pressure,
[40:56] Speaker 15: but you know, when you become when you check the box,
[40:59] Speaker 15: the big box like he did and had to support
[41:02] Speaker 15: he did in the black community.
[41:03] Speaker 2: The work is ongoing and it doesn't stop.
[41:07] Speaker 3: Absolutely. And again you're going to have people who obviously
[41:13] Speaker 3: are going to make this a destination there in Chicago.
[41:18] Speaker 3: What will be also watching for over the next several years, Recie,
[41:23] Speaker 3: is seeing how the South Side is transformed. Can the
[41:28] Speaker 3: Obama President Center become the centerpiece, if you will, of development,
[41:36] Speaker 3: and we would say development, do we also benefit from
[41:39] Speaker 3: that development as residents and also business folks? I mean, listen,
[41:43] Speaker 3: there are people who they were that was a serious
[41:45] Speaker 3: fight with community folks when it came to a community
[41:48] Speaker 3: benefits agreement when this thing was first proposed, and that
[41:52] Speaker 3: was some serious debates and discussions that were going on
[41:57] Speaker 3: when this happened. And there's been displacement then, and you
[42:02] Speaker 3: know what is supposedly they're supposed to be. You know,
[42:05] Speaker 3: Jackson Park golf course is supposed to be completely redone.
[42:09] Speaker 3: I think it's supposed to be a tiger Woods design
[42:10] Speaker 3: golf course. We'll see what you know, The question is
[42:13] Speaker 3: does does still remain affordable? What about housing in that area?
[42:17] Speaker 3: Obviously with President Obama, the goal is to attract and
[42:21] Speaker 3: bring world leaders and others there as well. So all
[42:25] Speaker 3: of that is what folks are we waiting to see
[42:29] Speaker 3: what unfolds.
[42:31] Speaker 14: Yeah, and I think those are all very fair things
[42:34] Speaker 14: to see and hold to account. I think number one,
[42:39] Speaker 14: I've been saying this the entire time of the Trump administration.
[42:43] Speaker 14: The Calvary is not coming for black people. It was
[42:45] Speaker 14: not coming for America. And so I don't look at
[42:48] Speaker 14: the Obamas as the cavalry, as the necessarily even the
[42:52] Speaker 14: leader of the Blacks. Okay, they are private citizens with
[42:56] Speaker 14: a very important role in history. They have the capacity
[43:00] Speaker 14: obviously to play as big of a role as they
[43:02] Speaker 14: choose and the future. But I'm just not in the
[43:06] Speaker 14: space and this is me personally, this is reesa Golbert Gay.
[43:09] Speaker 14: I'm not in the space personally of putting anybody on
[43:13] Speaker 14: a pedestal of people who have the solutions and the
[43:16] Speaker 14: answers and the willingness to make things happen for us.
[43:22] Speaker 14: We're going to have to make things happen for ourselves.
[43:24] Speaker 2: We're going to have to look to.
[43:26] Speaker 14: A wide array and breadth of people to buy in
[43:31] Speaker 14: to lead, but also march alongside us. And so I
[43:34] Speaker 14: think a lot is put on the notion of a
[43:38] Speaker 14: charismatic figure of a particular leader who has the right
[43:41] Speaker 14: answers and has their right delivery and all these things.
[43:44] Speaker 14: But even when you have somebody like that in theory
[43:46] Speaker 14: in Obama, there's still always going to be tension in
[43:50] Speaker 14: our community with each other, with leaders, with politics, with activism,
[43:56] Speaker 14: with academia, and so on and so on and so forth.
[43:59] Speaker 14: So I don't think that this marks the turning point
[44:02] Speaker 14: of any of that.
[44:03] Speaker 2: I think that this is just.
[44:06] Speaker 14: A space that will exist, and around that space, and
[44:09] Speaker 14: around these figures who are human beings that many, that
[44:12] Speaker 14: are beloved by many, fare will always exist that tension.
[44:16] Speaker 14: It's perfectly fair in my view to call out things
[44:19] Speaker 14: that seem hypocritical or comments, to call out things that
[44:21] Speaker 14: seem harmful. But I just don't think that there's any
[44:25] Speaker 14: particular person, there's any particular policy that's going to transform
[44:31] Speaker 14: going to be that thing that we've been searching for
[44:34] Speaker 14: for generations to make the difference for us. The only
[44:38] Speaker 14: difference that's going to be made for us, I think
[44:40] Speaker 14: comes from with us figuring that out for ourselves.
[44:44] Speaker 3: Well, I can't wait until February twenty twenty seven when
[44:49] Speaker 3: my new book drops that speaks exactly to what you
[44:52] Speaker 3: just talked about, and so yeah, it's going to go
[44:57] Speaker 3: pre sale in September. We literally are editing it. I
[45:01] Speaker 3: just got the cover design today. Can't show it, but
[45:05] Speaker 3: just understand that what you just described is exactly what
[45:10] Speaker 3: I'm talking about in that book. All right, folks, going
[45:13] Speaker 3: to a break. We'll be right back. Roland Martin unfiltered
[45:15] Speaker 3: all the Blackstar Network. Folks. Let me tell you about Chapter.
[45:20] Speaker 10: Now.
[45:20] Speaker 3: If you're in Medicare or about to be, the system
[45:24] Speaker 3: is not set up to work for you. Too much
[45:26] Speaker 3: fine print, too many plans, and too many people making
[45:28] Speaker 3: money off of your confusion.
[45:30] Speaker 4: And look, we're used to this.
[45:31] Speaker 3: We're no strangers to systems that don't have our best
[45:34] Speaker 3: interest at heart. But we don't have to accept it
[45:37] Speaker 3: when it comes to Medicare. That's why I'm telling you
[45:40] Speaker 3: about Chapter. Their advisors are independent and honest. In fact,
[45:45] Speaker 3: they're the only Medicare advisors that compare every plan nationwide,
[45:51] Speaker 3: and they're focused on one thing, what works for you.
[45:56] Speaker 3: If there's a better plan out there, they'll find it
[46:00] Speaker 3: already in the right one. They'll tell you that too.
[46:03] Speaker 3: There are no games. Just last year, people who switched
[46:06] Speaker 3: with Chapter saved an average up eleven hundred dollars. It's
[46:10] Speaker 3: twenty minutes and a real person. It's completely free. My
[46:14] Speaker 3: parents actually have already called mom. Send me a text, folks,
[46:19] Speaker 3: Give Chapter a call at seven two four two sixty
[46:22] Speaker 3: four eight two eight one seven two four two sixty
[46:24] Speaker 3: four A two eight one and connect with someone you
[46:27] Speaker 3: can trust.
[46:28] Speaker 2: Folks.
[46:29] Speaker 3: These are the kind of services that we need for
[46:31] Speaker 3: our audience here at Roland Martin Unfiltered and the Blackstar
[46:35] Speaker 3: Network so called Chapter right now seven two four two
[46:38] Speaker 3: sixty four eight to eight one. Carl Payne pretending to
[46:43] Speaker 3: be Rowland Martin. You ain't got to work black and
[46:45] Speaker 3: gold every damn place, okay, ooh, I'm an out for yay,
[46:49] Speaker 3: all right, you're fifty eight years old. It's over. Then.
[46:51] Speaker 12: You are now watching Roland Martin Unfiltered, uncut, unplugged, and
[46:56] Speaker 12: undamn believable.
[47:04] Speaker 3: How long have I tell you why folks have been
[47:06] Speaker 3: losing their minds in this country because they are not
[47:10] Speaker 3: going to be the majority twenty forty three now, the
[47:15] Speaker 3: reason you're seeing the attacks on immigration. I saw one
[47:19] Speaker 3: report that said that that's now twenty fifty they're trying
[47:22] Speaker 3: to slow down that from happening, and Elon Musk, Oh
[47:26] Speaker 3: my god, that racist has just spent tons of time
[47:31] Speaker 3: on posting on Twitter about fertility rates, fertility rates, and
[47:35] Speaker 3: it's all you've seen, all you've seen, and folks have
[47:39] Speaker 3: been asking, wait, man, I don't understand what's going on,
[47:43] Speaker 3: and you see all of these different stories. Oh, it's
[47:46] Speaker 3: because women are in the workplace. Oh, it's because people
[47:52] Speaker 3: are concerned about affordability. It's all those things. But do
[47:57] Speaker 3: you want to know why A major reason why the
[48:01] Speaker 3: American fertility rates have declined as a result, have declined
[48:07] Speaker 3: so much, it's because of teenagers not getting pregnant. This
[48:16] Speaker 3: was discussed on Fox News and listen to what one
[48:20] Speaker 3: of their experts hit.
[48:24] Speaker 8: Absolutely, we still have three point six million berths a year,
[48:28] Speaker 8: but the problem is teens and young adults from ages
[48:32] Speaker 8: fifteen to nineteen. The fertility rate is down seven percent,
[48:36] Speaker 8: and it's down seventy percent over the last two decades.
[48:40] Speaker 8: Meaning we're telling people that are young not to have babies,
[48:43] Speaker 8: to wait till they're in a more stable life situation,
[48:46] Speaker 8: till they're more financially secure.
[48:48] Speaker 3: Maybe they haven't found the right partner to you. Okay,
[48:53] Speaker 3: I want to play that again, and I want you
[48:55] Speaker 3: to listen very clearly to what he said.
[49:01] Speaker 8: Absolutely, we still have three point six million berths a year.
[49:05] Speaker 8: But the problem is teens and young adults from ages
[49:09] Speaker 8: fifteen to nineteen, the fertility rate is down seven percent,
[49:12] Speaker 8: and it's down seventy percent over the last two decades.
[49:17] Speaker 8: Meaning we're telling people that are young not to have babies,
[49:20] Speaker 8: to wait till they're in a more stable life situation,
[49:23] Speaker 8: till they're more financially secure, maybe they haven't found.
[49:26] Speaker 3: The right partner to you, this is what he said.
[49:29] Speaker 3: We're telling people who are young not to have babies. Yeah. See,
[49:40] Speaker 3: what a lot of people don't want to confront.
[49:49] Speaker 12: Is that.
[49:51] Speaker 3: America has been based upon young girls getting pregnant birthing babies.
[50:04] Speaker 3: And what you've seen over the past thirty years, you've
[50:07] Speaker 3: seen a dramatic focus on encouraging them not to duh,
[50:13] Speaker 3: encouraging young men not to impregnate. I don't think for
[50:18] Speaker 3: a second it's a bad thing that fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen,
[50:23] Speaker 3: and yes, nineteen year olds are not getting pregnant. But see,
[50:29] Speaker 3: you have to understand what this country focus is on.
[50:33] Speaker 3: Go to BIPAD NPR dropped this story April nine, twenty
[50:36] Speaker 3: twenty six teen. Birth rates hit another historical low in
[50:42] Speaker 3: two thousand and five twenty five. According to the CDC,
[50:46] Speaker 3: and what the guy was saying right there, the teenage
[50:48] Speaker 3: birth rate in the United States felled by seven percent
[50:51] Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five. Look at this here quote. A
[50:54] Speaker 3: seven percent decline is really extraordinary, says the reports lead
[51:00] Speaker 3: author Brady Hamilton, a statistician demographer with the Center, which
[51:03] Speaker 3: is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
[51:07] Speaker 3: Look at this, y'au. Nearly one hundred and twenty six
[51:10] Speaker 3: thousand babies were born to mothers ages fifteen to nineteen.
[51:16] Speaker 3: The birth rate for that age group was eleven point
[51:21] Speaker 3: seven births per one thousand. By contrast, the teen birth
[51:30] Speaker 3: rate in nineteen ninety one was sixty one point eight
[51:39] Speaker 3: births per one thousand. Allow me to repeat that two
[51:49] Speaker 3: thy twenty five. The birth rate for mothers between the
[51:56] Speaker 3: ages of fifteen and nineteen eleven point seven births per
[52:04] Speaker 3: one thousand in nineteen ninety one, that's thirty five years ago,
[52:17] Speaker 3: it was sixty one point eight per one thousand. That
[52:22] Speaker 3: is a decrease, y'all, of fifty point one. Have you
[52:33] Speaker 3: seen these stories on Republicans in certain states refusing to
[52:41] Speaker 3: outlaw teen marriage. See once you start looking at data
[52:48] Speaker 3: like this, now you begin to understand what this system
[52:54] Speaker 3: also was built upon. You have politicians, mostly Republican, white conservatives,
[53:06] Speaker 3: who don't want to provide food benefits, who don't want
[53:11] Speaker 3: to get rid of student loans, who don't want to
[53:16] Speaker 3: provide housing assistance, but they really want these teenage girls
[53:21] Speaker 3: getting pregnant, y'all is right here in the numbers. And
[53:29] Speaker 3: so because we've had a society that finally said, oh
[53:33] Speaker 3: my god, we don't think it makes sense for fifteen
[53:38] Speaker 3: and sixteen year old girls to have babies, then the
[53:43] Speaker 3: education and all those different things.
[53:47] Speaker 2: Worked.
[53:48] Speaker 3: We were just talking about Obama. Do y'all realize that
[53:53] Speaker 3: Republicans criticized him for supporting reproductive rights? But are you
[54:00] Speaker 3: aware that abortion rates kept dropping when he was president?
[54:07] Speaker 3: It was because you also see, y'all, abortions rates were
[54:13] Speaker 3: dropping and girls were not getting pregnant. Don't you think
[54:20] Speaker 3: there's a correlation there? And so it's really important to
[54:24] Speaker 3: understand why white people, why white conservatives hate this. They
[54:36] Speaker 3: hate this because these are rural white girls. These are
[54:42] Speaker 3: white girls in Kentucky, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, and
[54:52] Speaker 3: so Now because fewer of these white girls are getting
[54:56] Speaker 3: pregnant not getting married, they're like, oh my god, we
[55:01] Speaker 3: don't know what in the hell to do. That's why
[55:06] Speaker 3: their fertility rates are dropping across the country. And what
[55:10] Speaker 3: you're seeing in western nations what I mean by that
[55:14] Speaker 3: are white countries. They are totally freaking out over this issue.
[55:23] Speaker 3: Why because they're the ones who are an endangered species.
[55:30] Speaker 3: United States, Ireland, Germany, Italy, France, England. I'm going on on.
[55:42] Speaker 3: White folks ain't having kids, and so in order for
[55:46] Speaker 3: you to have a future, you literally have to replace
[55:51] Speaker 3: people in order for businesses to maintain production. Economically, that
[55:59] Speaker 3: means GDP gross domestic product. In order for you to
[56:02] Speaker 3: continue to have an economy. In the United States economy
[56:05] Speaker 3: is a thirty trillion dollar economy, number one in the country.
[56:07] Speaker 3: China's number two at nineteen trillion. In order to do that,
[56:12] Speaker 3: you need people. I hope you now understand why this
[56:20] Speaker 3: intensity why you're saying the reaction in public policy, because
[56:26] Speaker 3: this is one of the reasons.
[56:28] Speaker 2: Larry Roland, I'm glad you unpacked a lot of that.
[56:34] Speaker 15: Listen, you can't talk about infertility rates and then you
[56:40] Speaker 15: get rid of you just try to cut funding for
[56:42] Speaker 15: wick or dismantle the affordable care all the things that
[56:46] Speaker 15: people you know, make the childcare tax credit permanent, the
[56:50] Speaker 15: kind of things that are you know, are really important
[56:52] Speaker 15: as it relates to you know, when individuals socide they
[56:55] Speaker 15: want to have children, that there's certain things in place
[56:57] Speaker 15: that make it a lot easier childcare.
[57:00] Speaker 2: I can go, we can go on and on and
[57:01] Speaker 2: on in this country in terms of the economic.
[57:03] Speaker 15: Challenges, but I'm glad you pointed out the connection between
[57:07] Speaker 15: a lot of this rhetoric and the actual reality of
[57:13] Speaker 15: what's happening today. It's really disturbing to see somebody go
[57:17] Speaker 15: on television and talk about the importance of underage girls
[57:20] Speaker 15: having babies and this really weird fascination with the women's body. Obviously,
[57:27] Speaker 15: we know women's in terms of women's rights movement the
[57:29] Speaker 15: last several decades, women to have the opportunity to work
[57:32] Speaker 15: outside the home, not have to be dependent on a husband,
[57:34] Speaker 15: and have all the educational opportunities that they did deserve.
[57:38] Speaker 15: We're not going they're trying to turn the clock back,
[57:41] Speaker 15: but it's not going to happen. There's no in place,
[57:44] Speaker 15: nothing in place to encourage people to have children, certainly
[57:47] Speaker 15: as they get older and more mature, but rollly you're
[57:50] Speaker 15: right in terms of higher education when there's of student
[57:52] Speaker 15: loans and grants and some of the other things they're
[57:54] Speaker 15: they're trying to make it more difficult for people to
[57:57] Speaker 15: have opportunities, and I guess the assumption is that their
[58:00] Speaker 15: little still harving having children. You can't make it more
[58:04] Speaker 15: difficult for people to decide to have children at one
[58:06] Speaker 15: point and at the same time say no, we don't
[58:09] Speaker 15: want any people immigrating here. These trends that they're talking
[58:12] Speaker 15: about Roland are not new. The trends are not new
[58:14] Speaker 15: if anyone like myself who's a researcher, these trends have
[58:17] Speaker 15: been known for years, for decades, or demographics demographics, So
[58:21] Speaker 15: that's why immigration plays such an important role. But you're
[58:23] Speaker 15: telling people don't come here, and the folks that are
[58:25] Speaker 15: here came here.
[58:26] Speaker 3: You're like, you need to go to You.
[58:28] Speaker 15: Can't have it both ways. The United States can't continue
[58:31] Speaker 15: to be an economic superpower. And then you have all
[58:33] Speaker 15: these contradictory policies and I go back to my point again,
[58:37] Speaker 15: you can't cut Wick and all these other important programs
[58:40] Speaker 15: to people need that many people who have benefited from
[58:43] Speaker 15: the last point.
[58:44] Speaker 2: I want to make is rolling this my mom.
[58:46] Speaker 15: I had a teenage mother and it wasn't because of
[58:48] Speaker 15: the support of the black community, my grandparents, etc. Then
[58:52] Speaker 15: I would have not been to hear why I am today.
[58:54] Speaker 15: But a lot of folks don't have those support systems
[58:56] Speaker 15: these days, family and economic, so it is not realistic.
[59:00] Speaker 15: Expect you know, once again we have a you know,
[59:03] Speaker 15: a dratic increase of teenage mothers because it's not going
[59:06] Speaker 15: to work, because we know from the research it's not.
[59:08] Speaker 15: It's not student children don't benefit from parents who are
[59:12] Speaker 15: just not ready. And so listen, we need some that
[59:15] Speaker 15: we needed. We need some new policies, and we need
[59:18] Speaker 15: some new policy makers who really understand what the average
[59:21] Speaker 15: American is going through and then that those of individuals
[59:24] Speaker 15: decide what they want to do is relate the family
[59:26] Speaker 15: plan see Reesia.
[59:28] Speaker 3: A lot of us don't pay attention to what happens
[59:32] Speaker 3: across the pond, and in the last fifteen years I
[59:40] Speaker 3: have seen a significant number protests and riots in European
[59:48] Speaker 3: countries and that actually was tied to immigration, and they
[59:53] Speaker 3: don't want they don't want muslim they don't want Africans,
[59:56] Speaker 3: they don't want us down. We don't want you to hear.
[59:57] Speaker 3: In fact, go to my iPad this this video in Ireland.
[1:00:02] Speaker 3: So that was an attack in Ireland where an immigrant
[1:00:05] Speaker 3: attacks someone with a knife and it's led to two
[1:00:09] Speaker 3: days of rioting protest. I saw this channel here and
[1:00:15] Speaker 3: then there were anti racism riots in response to that.
[1:00:21] Speaker 3: And people need to understand Ireland. Ireland's but to fall
[1:00:27] Speaker 3: off the map because they're not producing enough people recy
[1:00:33] Speaker 3: and so you're not going to have a country. You're
[1:00:36] Speaker 3: not going to have an economy if you don't have people.
[1:00:39] Speaker 3: But they don't want it's like, oh we care about
[1:00:42] Speaker 3: I remember that that Connor McGregor when he got the
[1:00:45] Speaker 3: White House, like, oh, the indigenous people in Ireland are
[1:00:49] Speaker 3: getting screwed. No problem is y'all ain't screwing. You actually
[1:00:55] Speaker 3: need immigrants to have a country Ireland or y'all are
[1:01:01] Speaker 3: just going to be a bunch of land a few people.
[1:01:04] Speaker 3: And so this teen's birth rate thing, people need to
[1:01:08] Speaker 3: understand that that's a huge deal. And also as why
[1:01:11] Speaker 3: these Republicans were so hardcore against Robi Wade.
[1:01:15] Speaker 14: Oh yeah, absolutely.
[1:01:16] Speaker 3: I mean this.
[1:01:18] Speaker 14: Party is the policy is forced births. So yeah, of
[1:01:22] Speaker 14: course they don't want to see people who are the
[1:01:26] Speaker 14: white people. Let's just be very clear by that. They
[1:01:27] Speaker 14: don't want to see white people who are not pro
[1:01:29] Speaker 14: creative because in order to have white power and what
[1:01:31] Speaker 14: they want white power, you need white people. But this
[1:01:33] Speaker 14: is where I think there are divergent interest in the
[1:01:37] Speaker 14: Republican Party because you have projects went twenty five. Trump
[1:01:41] Speaker 14: Crow is about pruning the population. You cannot look at
[1:01:44] Speaker 14: the policies like Larry just laid out and say that
[1:01:49] Speaker 14: that is a pro population growth policy or strategy. It
[1:01:54] Speaker 14: is about pruning the population. That's why they're cutting off Medicaid,
[1:01:59] Speaker 14: which is something that children and the elderly or not elderly,
[1:02:02] Speaker 14: but children and people who have disabilities, you know, need.
[1:02:06] Speaker 14: They're cutting off wick, They're cutting are cutting it and
[1:02:09] Speaker 14: not cutting it off completely, cutting off snap, cutting off
[1:02:12] Speaker 14: housing resources, cutting education. They're moving a lot of the
[1:02:17] Speaker 14: responsibilities out of the education department into other departments. And
[1:02:22] Speaker 14: so when we look at every facet of society and
[1:02:26] Speaker 14: how those policies would either foster procreation.
[1:02:31] Speaker 7: Or foster killing people off.
[1:02:33] Speaker 14: Their policies are erring on the killing people off side,
[1:02:36] Speaker 14: So that's where they got they shit together.
[1:02:40] Speaker 9: The math is not math.
[1:02:41] Speaker 14: Do you want people to have babies and have a
[1:02:44] Speaker 14: fruitful amount of white folks at panera bread white women
[1:02:49] Speaker 14: and their four kids, stay at home moms because you
[1:02:52] Speaker 14: only need one house, one income to have a household
[1:02:54] Speaker 14: and have a white house with a picka fence. Or
[1:02:58] Speaker 14: do you want to have the powerful people get more
[1:03:02] Speaker 14: and more and more and leave nothing but crumbs left behind.
[1:03:08] Speaker 14: That's what I'm seeing, and I don't know how they
[1:03:10] Speaker 14: reconcile it, but I do know that trump Crow is
[1:03:13] Speaker 14: not taking any prisoners, and that fertility rate for damn
[1:03:16] Speaker 14: sure and going up no time soon. With Project twenty twenty.
[1:03:19] Speaker 3: Five see graduate people paying any attention to what Charlie
[1:03:24] Speaker 3: Kirk was saying, beyond the racist stuff. What he was saying,
[1:03:30] Speaker 3: and this is why these white boys are going so crazy.
[1:03:35] Speaker 3: These white boys want us, They've been saying to these
[1:03:39] Speaker 3: white women, get your ass back in your place, y'all
[1:03:43] Speaker 3: taking our jobs. We need y'all in the house. We
[1:03:45] Speaker 3: need y'all laying down birth and babies that's basically what
[1:03:48] Speaker 3: he was saying. And this whole movement that really was
[1:03:54] Speaker 3: how do you now begin to drive that narrative, because
[1:03:58] Speaker 3: this was about what reason is laid out protecting the
[1:04:02] Speaker 3: future of whiteness in America.
[1:04:08] Speaker 6: You're right, Charles Christian Kirk and all the rest of
[1:04:13] Speaker 6: your folks. It's too late, baby, and now it's too
[1:04:21] Speaker 6: It's too late in the world. By the way, the
[1:04:24] Speaker 6: United States is not an outlier in this regard. China
[1:04:26] Speaker 6: has this problem, Japan has this problem. Most of the
[1:04:30] Speaker 6: countries in the world have this problem. The kindent of
[1:04:32] Speaker 6: Africa does not have this problem yet, but it looks
[1:04:35] Speaker 6: like perhaps in two generations its population will begin to decline.
[1:04:39] Speaker 6: The species almost Sapiens is headed toward a radical shrink
[1:04:45] Speaker 6: in terms of the number of people. And so here
[1:04:49] Speaker 6: in the United States of America, as pure bred racists
[1:04:54] Speaker 6: like Stephen Miller obsessed about this, you can't have enough babies.
[1:04:59] Speaker 6: But you can't have enough babies in Germany or France,
[1:05:01] Speaker 6: or Island or England. And as you say, immigration is
[1:05:05] Speaker 6: something that is used by crass politicians to attempt to
[1:05:10] Speaker 6: gen up votes they can remain in power. But behind
[1:05:13] Speaker 6: those politicians are the oligarchs who have an entirely different agenda.
[1:05:19] Speaker 6: They still need electoral politics to put the people in
[1:05:21] Speaker 6: place to get the policies they need. But Elon Musk,
[1:05:24] Speaker 6: who's trying to impregnate all of the white women in
[1:05:26] Speaker 6: the world, apparently it still won't be enough. But he's
[1:05:28] Speaker 6: not trying to grow a population of Homo sapiens. So
[1:05:33] Speaker 6: he has Ai for that. He's got his robots for that.
[1:05:36] Speaker 6: He's got his Mars colony with a million people in
[1:05:39] Speaker 6: it that he has used to pull off the biggest
[1:05:41] Speaker 6: scheme frauds, not even fraud yet, but the biggest snake
[1:05:44] Speaker 6: old scheme in the history of capitalism by getting a
[1:05:48] Speaker 6: valuation that makes him maturionaire for five minutes until that
[1:05:51] Speaker 6: bubble pops and everybody loses their mind. At the heart
[1:05:55] Speaker 6: of this is competing strategies. The oligarchs are looking past
[1:05:59] Speaker 6: the species because they think ultimately the technology will be
[1:06:02] Speaker 6: able to replace the species. So this is going to
[1:06:04] Speaker 6: be a problem. But those who rule over whoever's left,
[1:06:08] Speaker 6: they want to be white. You know, they say everything
[1:06:10] Speaker 6: else with their chest isn't interested to this man on
[1:06:13] Speaker 6: Fox as you said, see, you.
[1:06:15] Speaker 7: Should just say white you don't mean black.
[1:06:17] Speaker 6: There was a study, a couple of researchers at Hofstra
[1:06:22] Speaker 6: I think it was they looked at CDC data over
[1:06:27] Speaker 6: the last maybe I think, from twenty sixteen to twenty
[1:06:29] Speaker 6: twenty four, thirty three million live births in the United States.
[1:06:32] Speaker 7: And you know what they saw. They saw that white women.
[1:06:37] Speaker 6: Gave birth to forty nine point six percent of the
[1:06:41] Speaker 6: babies over that period born in the United States of America.
[1:06:46] Speaker 6: Non white women, Black, Asian, Latino, of all backgrounds that
[1:06:51] Speaker 6: are not white gave birth to fifty point four percent
[1:06:55] Speaker 6: of all the babies. So as the population shift strengths
[1:06:58] Speaker 6: in this country, the majority of babies born over the last.
[1:07:02] Speaker 7: Decade, yep, ain't white.
[1:07:04] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[1:07:05] Speaker 6: Here's the final problem they have. Countries and capitalism operate
[1:07:11] Speaker 6: as we've just heard on immigration.
[1:07:13] Speaker 7: Yeah, we were not just property. We were a capital asset.
[1:07:17] Speaker 3: YEP.
[1:07:18] Speaker 6: A car sitting at your house is property. A car
[1:07:21] Speaker 6: you use to drive uber is a capital asset. We
[1:07:24] Speaker 6: weren't just property. It was our labor that literally constructed
[1:07:27] Speaker 6: the modern world system. It without immigration, this country is
[1:07:30] Speaker 6: going to die. As far as I'm concerned, we need
[1:07:34] Speaker 6: to start making up with our cousins around the world,
[1:07:36] Speaker 6: because when this thing collapsed and it's already on the
[1:07:38] Speaker 6: back end't try to tell Trump last month.
[1:07:41] Speaker 7: We need to be clear about what's.
[1:07:42] Speaker 6: Happening so that we can kind of pull our way
[1:07:44] Speaker 6: out of this death spiral this country is in and
[1:07:47] Speaker 6: begin to plan for what comes next, because it's an
[1:07:49] Speaker 6: extra This is not going to stop that serious.
[1:07:52] Speaker 3: See. One of the reason is why y'all who watched
[1:07:55] Speaker 3: this show, while y'all are smarter than any of those
[1:07:58] Speaker 3: people who on msn Bison who watched MSNBC, CNN and
[1:08:02] Speaker 3: Fox News, is because one we ain't been in sugarcoating this.
[1:08:05] Speaker 3: I'll give you perfect example. Okay, payl y'all remember this.
[1:08:10] Speaker 3: When they had those raids on those farms in Nebraska.
[1:08:15] Speaker 3: The Republican governor Nebraska called Trump, Hey, hey, hey, dog, listen,
[1:08:18] Speaker 3: I'm gonna need you to slow this shit down. I've
[1:08:21] Speaker 3: lost six percent of my state GDP South Texas. They're like, hey, man,
[1:08:29] Speaker 3: what y'all doing. These damn raids are impacting the construction industry, y'all.
[1:08:36] Speaker 3: This construction industry farming, y'all. See where we're getting at.
[1:08:46] Speaker 3: It's about resources. Greg is absolutely on it, and we
[1:08:50] Speaker 3: talked about Africa. See, this is why it's important to
[1:08:55] Speaker 3: understand what's going on the global world that we're living in.
[1:08:59] Speaker 3: This is from the Pew Research Center. First, Africa's population
[1:09:03] Speaker 3: has grown sixfold since nineteen fifty. Africa's population has grown
[1:09:09] Speaker 3: rapidly since nineteen fifty, and it's projected to keep rising
[1:09:13] Speaker 3: through twenty one hundred. Watch this show. Today, twenty eight
[1:09:21] Speaker 3: percent of all people under twenty five live in Africa,
[1:09:27] Speaker 3: and the as does nineteen percent of the overall population.
[1:09:32] Speaker 3: Look at this here. By twenty one hundred, nearly half
[1:09:37] Speaker 3: of the world's young people will live in Africa, y'all.
[1:09:46] Speaker 3: And now check this out. By twenty one hundred, Africa
[1:09:51] Speaker 3: will have twelve of the world's most populous countries, y'all.
[1:09:59] Speaker 3: That that means you're going to have a shift from
[1:10:03] Speaker 3: the domination of the United States, France, Germany, England, Russia, China,
[1:10:12] Speaker 3: South Korea. You understand this now, you may ask, well,
[1:10:17] Speaker 3: I don't understand how it's number four. This is it?
[1:10:22] Speaker 3: Right here? Africa is the only world region where fertility
[1:10:30] Speaker 3: remains above the replacement level. Look it says right there,
[1:10:36] Speaker 3: Africa's fertility rate about three point nine bursts per woman
[1:10:42] Speaker 3: is substantially higher than the global replacement level of around
[1:10:48] Speaker 3: two point one burst per woman, but there is significant
[1:10:52] Speaker 3: variation and fertility rates across the region. For example, Chad's
[1:10:57] Speaker 3: current fertility rate is five point eight births per woman
[1:11:02] Speaker 3: compared with one point eight in Tunisia. So what does
[1:11:06] Speaker 3: that mean? Tunisia is gonna look like these white European
[1:11:11] Speaker 3: countries because they ain't gonna have no people and they're
[1:11:15] Speaker 3: gonna have to import him. That's called immigration. What this
[1:11:19] Speaker 3: here says is that for every child white women are
[1:11:25] Speaker 3: having in the rest of the world, African women are
[1:11:28] Speaker 3: kicking out twice as more. That's job, y'all. It's the
[1:11:32] Speaker 3: numbers game.
[1:11:35] Speaker 1: See.
[1:11:36] Speaker 3: So when Elon keeps tweeting about he's complaining about fertility rates.
[1:11:41] Speaker 3: He talking about white women. He ain't talking about black women.
[1:11:46] Speaker 3: He ain't talking about black Africans. He talking about them
[1:11:49] Speaker 3: white folks. And so this is what we need to understand,
[1:11:55] Speaker 3: and we have to understand that, y'all. Y'all see right there,
[1:12:00] Speaker 3: placement level, you have to replace people. As China, we
[1:12:06] Speaker 3: thought that Chinese was so great that man, I don't know,
[1:12:08] Speaker 3: they weren't China had a one child policy about thirty
[1:12:13] Speaker 3: years ago, and y'all have to understand, these things are
[1:12:17] Speaker 3: seen in thirty years. The reason that fertility rate said
[1:12:21] Speaker 3: nineteen ninety one it was sixty fifty or sixty one
[1:12:24] Speaker 3: point eight and today because nineteen ninety one was thirty
[1:12:28] Speaker 3: five years ago. The reason you look at these things
[1:12:31] Speaker 3: in thirty thirty five years because that's when the person
[1:12:34] Speaker 3: really comes of age. And so what happened in China.
[1:12:38] Speaker 3: China had a one child rule. They see that China
[1:12:41] Speaker 3: was too populous. Listen, we gotta slow this down. So
[1:12:44] Speaker 3: they say, you can have only one child. Here's the problem.
[1:12:47] Speaker 3: Thirty year life of China went, oh shit, we've been
[1:12:51] Speaker 3: replacing our people. They realized that the populations had been dying.
[1:12:56] Speaker 3: And so guess what happened. The folks were not trying
[1:12:59] Speaker 3: to them farm folks coming into the cities. They were like, hey, hey, hey,
[1:13:02] Speaker 3: can y'alllso having two kids. Because China recognized, oh my god,
[1:13:10] Speaker 3: if we don't change our policy, we're not going to
[1:13:14] Speaker 3: be a world power. We won't be the number two
[1:13:17] Speaker 3: economy in the world, because you need people in order
[1:13:22] Speaker 3: to produce your gross domestic product. And so I just
[1:13:26] Speaker 3: want our people watching you to understand when you're looking
[1:13:29] Speaker 3: at public policy decisions, what Stephen Miller is trying to do,
[1:13:35] Speaker 3: he's trying to slow down be inevitable. What they're trying
[1:13:40] Speaker 3: to do is they're trying to extend white power in
[1:13:44] Speaker 3: white rule. Everything, the targeting of black people, the GP
[1:13:50] Speaker 3: War on Black America, the whole effort to defund Black America,
[1:13:54] Speaker 3: the targeting of Latinos and immigration. It's all meant if
[1:14:00] Speaker 3: we can slow this thing down and we can buy
[1:14:02] Speaker 3: ourselves another eight, ten, fifteen, twenty years. That's what all
[1:14:09] Speaker 3: this is about. All of these Supreme Court rulings and
[1:14:12] Speaker 3: everything and Product twenty twenty five, Product twenty twenty five,
[1:14:16] Speaker 3: and the Supreme Court rulings are all about Jim Crow
[1:14:20] Speaker 3: two point zero and American apartheid doesn't look like it
[1:14:29] Speaker 3: doesn't look like it. But I need try to understand
[1:14:31] Speaker 3: what's going on here. What they want thirty years from now,
[1:14:36] Speaker 3: this is twenty twenty six. What they desire in two
[1:14:40] Speaker 3: thousand and fifty six is for white folks to be
[1:14:44] Speaker 3: able to be in control, to demand your papers to
[1:14:47] Speaker 3: have see y'all need to understand the long play here.
[1:14:52] Speaker 3: See this is why folks who bullshit it when Hillary
[1:14:55] Speaker 3: ran twenty sixteen didn't understand the long play. See, too
[1:15:01] Speaker 3: many of us were caught up in I don't like her,
[1:15:03] Speaker 3: damn not liking her? How evil is that son of
[1:15:06] Speaker 3: a bitch? How evil are they? See? Rec That's the
[1:15:12] Speaker 3: thing that we try to explain to these people. Stop
[1:15:15] Speaker 3: looking at this stuff through the prism of you, your
[1:15:21] Speaker 3: checkbook and today, and really pay attention to the broader,
[1:15:27] Speaker 3: deeper implications. If somebody's out there supporting Look at all
[1:15:32] Speaker 3: these white folks, these farmers now crying. You got these
[1:15:35] Speaker 3: white women like I regret my vote for Trump because
[1:15:37] Speaker 3: they now see what the hell's going on. And it's like, yes,
[1:15:41] Speaker 3: you now aid it and abetted that evil, evil agenda.
[1:15:47] Speaker 1: Right.
[1:15:48] Speaker 14: I said it over and over and over and over again.
[1:15:51] Speaker 14: I said two things. I said citizenship was on the ballot,
[1:15:55] Speaker 14: But I also said that women already don't have national
[1:15:58] Speaker 14: citizenship because of rover Way being overturned. So women, more
[1:16:02] Speaker 14: than anybody, especially the white women's, had the last opportunity
[1:16:08] Speaker 14: to really solidify our citizenship, and people chose, I don't
[1:16:15] Speaker 14: know what they wanted. They chose racism, sexism, egg prices,
[1:16:18] Speaker 14: gas prices, and ain't none of that shit working out
[1:16:22] Speaker 14: for nobody who's not filthy rich. That's why I know
[1:16:26] Speaker 14: people want to call it Jim Crow, and I could
[1:16:28] Speaker 14: see Jim Crow two point zero. But nobody is spared.
[1:16:31] Speaker 15: You.
[1:16:31] Speaker 14: Every time you turn on the news, you see the
[1:16:33] Speaker 14: whites who are struggling. I saw a white lady voted
[1:16:36] Speaker 14: for Trump three times talking about airtime you go to
[1:16:38] Speaker 14: the grocery store, it's more expensive.
[1:16:40] Speaker 15: Yep.
[1:16:41] Speaker 7: That's what the war will do.
[1:16:43] Speaker 14: That's what higher gas prices will do, closing of the
[1:16:46] Speaker 14: strait of her moves will do. That's what voting in
[1:16:48] Speaker 14: funky has some Trump will do. But this was the
[1:16:50] Speaker 14: choice that people made because people wanted white power and
[1:16:54] Speaker 14: they believed, like the biggest propaganda that white people have
[1:17:00] Speaker 14: been able to pull off, it's convincing white people that
[1:17:03] Speaker 14: whiteness alone will ensure their survival. Will It can not
[1:17:07] Speaker 14: when they trying to kill you off, when they're trying
[1:17:09] Speaker 14: to pick you off, They trying to pick off your
[1:17:11] Speaker 14: rural hospitals did not give you access to the bra
[1:17:15] Speaker 14: band like Bien and Harris tried to get y'all. They
[1:17:19] Speaker 14: shutting down everything that supports you and your communities. Because
[1:17:23] Speaker 14: I agree with the whole idea of a part time,
[1:17:25] Speaker 14: but it ain't just simply.
[1:17:27] Speaker 7: All whites welcome.
[1:17:29] Speaker 14: They want to pick off some of the lowest hanging
[1:17:31] Speaker 14: fruit of the whites while they're at it.
[1:17:35] Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean, I just need people understand, y'all.
[1:17:39] Speaker 3: Weaenne just here just saying stuff. I'm trying to tell
[1:17:43] Speaker 3: y'all that this is not just about the reason when
[1:17:48] Speaker 3: we look at even historically the stuff that w the
[1:17:54] Speaker 3: voice was talking about something Paul Ropesen was talking about.
[1:17:59] Speaker 3: I mean, if y'all go back, if y'all go back
[1:18:02] Speaker 3: and read some writings and speeches of Paul Robeson, Paul
[1:18:07] Speaker 3: Ropson was literally talking about stuff in the nineteen thirties
[1:18:11] Speaker 3: and forties that are happening in Africa right now, the
[1:18:17] Speaker 3: stripping of those nations, the stripping of the resources. Y'all
[1:18:24] Speaker 3: go look, please go study the Berlin conference.
[1:18:29] Speaker 7: Go study.
[1:18:31] Speaker 3: We're gonna talk about it. Let me go get this,
[1:18:32] Speaker 3: we're gonna talk about it. Talk of this here, Greg
[1:18:36] Speaker 3: did this interview. See, y'all really need to understand what's
[1:18:40] Speaker 3: going on. Y'all need to understand right now, when we
[1:18:44] Speaker 3: see what's happening. When we see what's happening, and I'm
[1:18:49] Speaker 3: going to do to the break with the world. Matter fact,
[1:18:50] Speaker 3: I ain't taking a break.
[1:18:51] Speaker 15: I'm with the World Cup.
[1:18:55] Speaker 3: Canada and the United States are denying at a percentage
[1:19:01] Speaker 3: of seventy percent or more folk coming from African nations.
[1:19:08] Speaker 3: Canada has denied seventy three percent of Ghanaians who have
[1:19:13] Speaker 3: wanted to go to the World Cup in Canada. The
[1:19:17] Speaker 3: United States has mostly denied, has mostly denied, coung the
[1:19:24] Speaker 3: least from coming in. And not only that, Donald Trump
[1:19:30] Speaker 3: and Elon Musk for the reason for Ebola exploding again.
[1:19:36] Speaker 3: And guess what they're telling folk, if you're coming from
[1:19:39] Speaker 3: thost countries, you got to sit here and be in
[1:19:41] Speaker 3: quarantine for twenty one days. See, I really need our
[1:19:46] Speaker 3: folk to be paying a hell of a lot more
[1:19:48] Speaker 3: attention to what's going on, because see, y'all don't understand
[1:19:53] Speaker 3: how this stuff is linked, not understanding how these things
[1:19:58] Speaker 3: go together.
[1:19:59] Speaker 12: You know.
[1:20:00] Speaker 3: Uh, we've been sitting here a perfect example. I don't
[1:20:03] Speaker 3: know how many of y'all have seen this, y'all or no,
[1:20:07] Speaker 3: I don't like Osaka, so I ain't been watching Osaka,
[1:20:10] Speaker 3: but I pay attention to some other stuff. So y'all
[1:20:13] Speaker 3: know I'm always paying attention, and that's always gonna happen.
[1:20:16] Speaker 1: Uh.
[1:20:17] Speaker 3: And so how many of y'all have seen, uh, these
[1:20:21] Speaker 3: photos and these videos of the brother from the Congo
[1:20:27] Speaker 3: who stands up at games in a particular posture. Have
[1:20:35] Speaker 3: y'all seen this here? This is it right here? Y'all
[1:20:38] Speaker 3: seen this here. So first of all, they call him
[1:20:45] Speaker 3: La Mumba. They call him that because he is resembling
[1:20:51] Speaker 3: and that was that was the posture of Patricia Lamumba,
[1:20:56] Speaker 3: the freedom fighter who led them to freedom from the heinous, evil,
[1:21:01] Speaker 3: despicable Belgians. If y'all want to, we want to talk
[1:21:04] Speaker 3: about Hitler, talk about King Leopold. Yeah, y'all watch it
[1:21:09] Speaker 3: at home. Want y'all to google King leopol King Leopold,
[1:21:13] Speaker 3: that absolutely evil, despicable individual kill some fifteen million Congolese
[1:21:21] Speaker 3: and strip the country of his resources and put into
[1:21:25] Speaker 3: his own pocket. But the United States helped kill Patrica Lamomba. Okay,
[1:21:33] Speaker 3: I want y'all short again. So this brother here, y'all,
[1:21:37] Speaker 3: this ain't just about no. I need't y'all understand. This
[1:21:39] Speaker 3: ain't just about no soccer, no football. This brother here
[1:21:45] Speaker 3: stands at every game, doesn't move. And what he is
[1:21:50] Speaker 3: doing is he is channeling Patrice Lamomba. What you need
[1:21:57] Speaker 3: to understand is why is that so important in twenty
[1:22:03] Speaker 3: twenty six, in the year that America is celebrating two
[1:22:07] Speaker 3: and fiftyth anniversary, because it was the order of President
[1:22:14] Speaker 3: Eisenhower to assassinate La Mumba. That it's recorded that was
[1:22:19] Speaker 3: the first time in American history where a president directly
[1:22:23] Speaker 3: said he got to go. Greg interviewed Stuart Reid on
[1:22:28] Speaker 3: this book right here, and we're gonna stream it. I
[1:22:32] Speaker 3: think I told Kenan to get it ready after the show, y'all.
[1:22:34] Speaker 3: The book is called The Lamumba Plot, The Secret History
[1:22:37] Speaker 3: of the CIA and a Cold War assassination. The reason
[1:22:42] Speaker 3: the Congo is still trying desperately to pull itself together
[1:22:52] Speaker 3: as a nation, it's because this country killed the man
[1:23:00] Speaker 3: that he is channeling this country two months after they
[1:23:06] Speaker 3: gained their freedom. America said no, all, hell no, no, no, no,
[1:23:10] Speaker 3: he got to go, and that led to Congo becoming
[1:23:16] Speaker 3: zaire led by rule, led by dictator. He killed thousands
[1:23:21] Speaker 3: of y'all. All this ties together and so we're talking
[1:23:26] Speaker 3: about Africa, the population and what's happening there all of
[1:23:31] Speaker 3: these African nations. Listen, we can talk about Obama, Obama's
[1:23:35] Speaker 3: role in killing Kadafi, destabilizing Libya. See, we can talk
[1:23:44] Speaker 3: about Nigeria. So one of the reasons when we talk
[1:23:49] Speaker 3: about these African nations why they are in the condition
[1:23:52] Speaker 3: that they are in is because of Britain, Germany, France,
[1:24:02] Speaker 3: the United States. Going back to the splitting up of
[1:24:08] Speaker 3: that continent, the Berlin Conference, y'all, all these things are intermingled,
[1:24:14] Speaker 3: and we cannot act like they are not. And so
[1:24:19] Speaker 3: this is this is where we stand. And again the
[1:24:23] Speaker 3: denying of these entrants supposedly for a World Cup, but
[1:24:28] Speaker 3: the United States like now and can now y'all can't come. No, no, no,
[1:24:31] Speaker 3: y'all can't come. You can't do it. It really is important.
[1:24:35] Speaker 3: So I do hope people don't just look at this
[1:24:39] Speaker 3: brother and go, oh man, he's dressed to the knives,
[1:24:41] Speaker 3: he got the color. Now, Greg, he is not there
[1:24:45] Speaker 3: just cheering on his country. What he is saying is America,
[1:24:50] Speaker 3: I am channeling the man who y'all killed. And when
[1:24:55] Speaker 3: y'all killed him, y'all killed our country from Ovo to
[1:25:01] Speaker 3: become a thriving African nation.
[1:25:06] Speaker 6: That's right, brother, yeah, brother, dinga a brother right there.
[1:25:10] Speaker 6: It's such an inspirational right, bro. You know the beautiful
[1:25:13] Speaker 6: thing about these white nationals is that they don't understand
[1:25:16] Speaker 6: they were just like them in this regard. Ronald Reagan
[1:25:19] Speaker 6: knew ron Rond Reagan knew his people came from Ireland.
[1:25:22] Speaker 6: Donald Trump knows some of his roots. Stephen Miller knows
[1:25:25] Speaker 6: his people fled persecution as Jews in Germany.
[1:25:30] Speaker 7: I don't know why they don't realize two things.
[1:25:32] Speaker 6: Number One, that we always cheer for black people, whether
[1:25:35] Speaker 6: it's the Olympics, so the World Cup is lit.
[1:25:37] Speaker 7: We talk to people who can't afford to come from
[1:25:39] Speaker 7: other countries.
[1:25:40] Speaker 6: Were telling them people, man, look on jilteenth, tomorrow night,
[1:25:45] Speaker 6: Haiti is playing Brazil in Philly, and them negroes has
[1:25:48] Speaker 6: already turned up. Ain't none of them been to Brazil.
[1:25:51] Speaker 6: Ain't none of them been to Haiti? That's number one?
[1:25:53] Speaker 6: And number two, you Rowland right now. The young sister
[1:25:57] Speaker 6: that miked us up and got us ready, her people
[1:26:00] Speaker 6: are Ghanaian. We already the call is coming from inside
[1:26:03] Speaker 6: the house. Brother, You don't need to get on a
[1:26:05] Speaker 6: plane in our cry and get off in New York
[1:26:08] Speaker 6: or get off into Roto, or get off in Mexico City.
[1:26:10] Speaker 7: The Ghanaians live in the United States and they are
[1:26:13] Speaker 7: second and third and fourth generation. So the World Cup
[1:26:16] Speaker 7: isn't about the people coming who can afford to be
[1:26:19] Speaker 7: in the stadium. The World Cup is about, as you said,
[1:26:22] Speaker 7: the same type of transcendent camaraderie cultural grounding that we
[1:26:27] Speaker 7: saw displayed at City Hall in New York City today
[1:26:29] Speaker 7: when that racist owner of the New York Knicks tried
[1:26:32] Speaker 7: to get a little shade at Mamdani himself born in Uganda,
[1:26:36] Speaker 7: and the people wasn't having it. They were too busy
[1:26:39] Speaker 7: listening to Alicia Keyes singing out from New York, a
[1:26:41] Speaker 7: multi ethnic nation in the middle of this white nationalist
[1:26:44] Speaker 7: criminal enterprise file. Thing I say is it's about the
[1:26:46] Speaker 7: World Cup, brother, because my nephew is overseas playing and
[1:26:49] Speaker 7: so he know, he been playing since he is old
[1:26:51] Speaker 7: enough to run and kick a ball. But here's the thing.
[1:26:54] Speaker 7: You don't even have to follow soccer to understand the
[1:26:57] Speaker 7: underlying cultural, the underlying spiritual, and the underlying political significance
[1:27:01] Speaker 7: of African people.
[1:27:02] Speaker 6: If you want a good laugh, go ass young people
[1:27:05] Speaker 6: and go on social media, particularly TikTok and look at
[1:27:08] Speaker 6: what they're saying. Because in the African companm Nations when
[1:27:10] Speaker 6: African countries are playing each other, the Nigeria coach accused
[1:27:14] Speaker 6: the Congolese coach of using juju at the match and
[1:27:17] Speaker 6: that's why Nigeria lost. And then getting off the plane
[1:27:20] Speaker 6: at the World Cup, they got a cat in all
[1:27:23] Speaker 6: white mass with red lips and a red stripe here
[1:27:26] Speaker 6: in traditional dress with the lever, and they calling them
[1:27:28] Speaker 6: juju and they say, Nick, Look, I'm loving black.
[1:27:31] Speaker 7: People right now in the world, and white people are
[1:27:33] Speaker 7: going crazy.
[1:27:34] Speaker 6: Hey Steve, turn your TV and watch your little head explode,
[1:27:38] Speaker 6: because you ain't seen nothing until you see black people
[1:27:40] Speaker 6: get rowdy in a stadium.
[1:27:41] Speaker 3: I'm loving it, brother, I'm loving it as we speak.
[1:27:47] Speaker 3: And it started. It started yesterday the High Level Consulate
[1:27:57] Speaker 3: Conference on the next step to the landmark United Nations
[1:28:00] Speaker 3: Resolution on the Trafficking of Enslaved Africans. It's taking place
[1:28:06] Speaker 3: in aqu Ghana. I was I was invited. I was
[1:28:13] Speaker 3: supposed to be there, but what But I was trying
[1:28:18] Speaker 3: to get from them an understanding of what interviews will
[1:28:24] Speaker 3: be be able to do stuff along those lines. I
[1:28:26] Speaker 3: wasn't about to spend four and fifty thousand dollars of
[1:28:29] Speaker 3: y'all money on cruise and stuff like that if I
[1:28:31] Speaker 3: didn't know that I'll be able to do some interviews.
[1:28:34] Speaker 3: But I was literally invited at three day conference and
[1:28:38] Speaker 3: wanted to go, but it was just it was just
[1:28:42] Speaker 3: did not get the information in time. But I need
[1:28:48] Speaker 3: our people to really paying attention to what's going on.
[1:28:52] Speaker 3: You have African nations that are saying, you know what, France,
[1:28:56] Speaker 3: we'retired of the frank y'all being able to control our resources.
[1:29:04] Speaker 3: And I really want our audience to do And again,
[1:29:07] Speaker 3: if you don't feel like reading, that's why we have
[1:29:10] Speaker 3: Roland's Book Club. That's why we got the black table.
[1:29:13] Speaker 3: I went to my office and there's another book that
[1:29:15] Speaker 3: I grabbed and see, if I can't do these interviews,
[1:29:19] Speaker 3: that's what we got Greg. So Greg talked to this
[1:29:23] Speaker 3: guy right here when he did the book The Absolutely
[1:29:28] Speaker 3: Indispensable Man, Ralph Bunch, The United Nations and the Fight
[1:29:31] Speaker 3: to End Empire. This is another book right here, and
[1:29:37] Speaker 3: cal Russ Thilla he's the author of this book. And
[1:29:44] Speaker 3: if you want to understand if y'all want to understand
[1:29:49] Speaker 3: what is going on today with African nations. The reason
[1:29:54] Speaker 3: why you need to read these two books France Finan
[1:30:00] Speaker 3: Kwame M. Krumer's book, it's because what is happening is
[1:30:07] Speaker 3: these African nations are now moving into their second phase.
[1:30:16] Speaker 3: Their first phase wast gaining a freedom. Ghana was the
[1:30:20] Speaker 3: first African nation to gain its independence, but then of
[1:30:25] Speaker 3: course countries like the United States and others helped overthrow
[1:30:28] Speaker 3: those countries. Those countries really went through a twenty thirty
[1:30:31] Speaker 3: forty U period of upheaval and now they are slowly
[1:30:35] Speaker 3: but surely, you know, coming around. So these African nations,
[1:30:39] Speaker 3: many of them are in their infancy when it comes
[1:30:42] Speaker 3: to democracy compared to the United States. So we have
[1:30:46] Speaker 3: to understand the moves that they are making in order
[1:30:50] Speaker 3: to be independent and free. And when people don't even
[1:30:54] Speaker 3: realize you can easily move between European nations without visus,
[1:31:00] Speaker 3: you cannot do that in Africa. And so these things
[1:31:05] Speaker 3: are happening as well. But we just need to be
[1:31:07] Speaker 3: aware of what's happening globally because I think too many
[1:31:12] Speaker 3: of our people, too many of our people, and I
[1:31:18] Speaker 3: would throw this out to the panel before we do
[1:31:19] Speaker 3: go to a break. Too many of our people are
[1:31:23] Speaker 3: living in such isolation, in such isolation, and too many
[1:31:28] Speaker 3: of our people are literally thinking about what's going on
[1:31:32] Speaker 3: in terms of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi without realizing that the
[1:31:40] Speaker 3: decisions that are being made in the nation's capital, decisions
[1:31:44] Speaker 3: being made at the White House, at the Pentagon, decisions
[1:31:47] Speaker 3: that are being made all over have global implications. And
[1:31:52] Speaker 3: we need to understand that. And so that's one of
[1:31:55] Speaker 3: the reasons why I keep saying to all of these
[1:31:59] Speaker 3: simple Simon needs Rowse who are trashing black immigrants, you
[1:32:03] Speaker 3: need to shut the hell up, because an increasing percentage
[1:32:08] Speaker 3: of the black population are black immigrants. And what I
[1:32:12] Speaker 3: need for black people is to have a better understanding
[1:32:15] Speaker 3: of African Caribbean nations. And I need for those Black
[1:32:20] Speaker 3: immigrants the better understanding of the African American existence, because
[1:32:25] Speaker 3: the reality is we all need each other. I'm gonna
[1:32:29] Speaker 3: start with you, Larry Recy, then Greg and I'm going
[1:32:31] Speaker 3: to break.
[1:32:34] Speaker 2: Roland.
[1:32:34] Speaker 15: You high had some really important points and I know,
[1:32:37] Speaker 15: doctor Carsling Greve me is the importance of Pan Africanism.
[1:32:40] Speaker 2: We talk about Marcus Garvey.
[1:32:42] Speaker 15: Nicura and you know the importance of the diaspora coming
[1:32:46] Speaker 15: together to support each other.
[1:32:47] Speaker 2: My wife is from Jamaica.
[1:32:49] Speaker 15: You talk about you know, people from you know, from
[1:32:51] Speaker 15: other part of you know, people of African to sent
[1:32:52] Speaker 15: from other parts of the world, and understanding importance of
[1:32:55] Speaker 15: our history and also the importance of our history in
[1:32:57] Speaker 15: terms of understand that our answerstors will all just dropped
[1:32:59] Speaker 15: off of different parts of the world, and certainly here
[1:33:02] Speaker 15: to the Western hemisphere. And an example I just used,
[1:33:05] Speaker 15: I want to make a connection roll into we talk about.
[1:33:08] Speaker 15: I talked about importants of Pan Africanism, and we talk about,
[1:33:10] Speaker 15: you know, the kind of African and its rise, the
[1:33:13] Speaker 15: connection between you've seen with the current administration and then
[1:33:16] Speaker 15: bullinging African nations into giving.
[1:33:18] Speaker 2: Up the rights to minerals.
[1:33:19] Speaker 3: Yep.
[1:33:20] Speaker 15: I want to repeat that again. Come on, because you
[1:33:22] Speaker 15: talked about this is a resource game. People have not
[1:33:26] Speaker 15: been paying attention.
[1:33:27] Speaker 3: Donald Trump is like, y'all want some hell stuff, Give
[1:33:31] Speaker 3: me your stuff, Give me your stuff, give me your stuff. Yep,
[1:33:34] Speaker 3: go ahead.
[1:33:36] Speaker 15: They have been forcing African nations to assign MOUs to
[1:33:43] Speaker 15: make sure the United States can have access to vital resources.
[1:33:48] Speaker 15: And this goes back to colonization. In terms of what
[1:33:50] Speaker 15: we talked about, the Congo and all these other countries
[1:33:54] Speaker 15: that you know had diamonds in South We could keep
[1:33:57] Speaker 15: going on and on, not only in terms of the
[1:33:59] Speaker 15: popular growth in African nations, but also the vast amount
[1:34:05] Speaker 15: of resources that you can only find in certain countries,
[1:34:08] Speaker 15: whether you talk about smartphones or laptops or whatever else
[1:34:11] Speaker 15: you want to talk about.
[1:34:12] Speaker 2: That is the economic gain you see.
[1:34:15] Speaker 15: This administration playing in terms of once again bullion these countries,
[1:34:19] Speaker 15: some of them small, but enormous resources, signing over a
[1:34:24] Speaker 15: certain percentage of the rights to those minerals to make
[1:34:28] Speaker 15: sure the.
[1:34:29] Speaker 2: United States benefits from that economically.
[1:34:32] Speaker 15: But we as people of African descent live in this
[1:34:35] Speaker 15: country in terms of the diaspora in general, we have
[1:34:38] Speaker 15: to be paying attention to that because besides this show Roland,
[1:34:41] Speaker 15: no one else has been talking about that. And I've
[1:34:43] Speaker 15: been watching that very carefully over the last couple of months.
[1:34:45] Speaker 15: But we have to be careful once again, we can't
[1:34:48] Speaker 15: get into these diaspara wars because we all we got
[1:34:52] Speaker 15: so once again, the idea of pan Africanism and importance
[1:34:55] Speaker 15: of that in terms of us working there collectively in
[1:34:58] Speaker 15: terms of garvy and many others tak about in terms
[1:35:00] Speaker 15: of making sure that people of African said have the
[1:35:03] Speaker 15: resources we need to make sure we can live, not
[1:35:06] Speaker 15: simply live, but the thrive.
[1:35:08] Speaker 3: You know, somebody in the chat or RESI said, roll
[1:35:11] Speaker 3: until North Suitanese arabs to stop killing South Sudanese. I
[1:35:15] Speaker 3: keep telling y'all, if y'all pay any attention, if you
[1:35:18] Speaker 3: go back to the Berlin Conference, y'all, these existing borders
[1:35:23] Speaker 3: that you see in Africa didn't exist. This was that
[1:35:29] Speaker 3: was a creation of folks sitting around chopping up the
[1:35:34] Speaker 3: continent in order to strip the continent. And so the
[1:35:38] Speaker 3: reason you're seeing the fights today because that stuff literally
[1:35:42] Speaker 3: goes back to the Berlin Conference and in all of
[1:35:48] Speaker 3: these different factions and fighting telling more of us have
[1:35:54] Speaker 3: got to be reading and studying recent Go ahead.
[1:35:57] Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean I think that there is a disconnect,
[1:36:00] Speaker 14: is a wedge that has been not just fostered but
[1:36:04] Speaker 14: really cultivated through disinformation, through campaigns targeting the black community
[1:36:13] Speaker 14: to drive a wedge between Black Americans atos FBA, B
[1:36:17] Speaker 14: one Freemen, so on and so far, with all the
[1:36:20] Speaker 14: acronyms and with immigrants and black immigrants, because when you
[1:36:25] Speaker 14: look at the census and you look at black the
[1:36:30] Speaker 14: black immigrants are helping us have blacker numbers, right. And
[1:36:34] Speaker 14: when you look at what this administration has done in
[1:36:37] Speaker 14: terms of their mass deportation now in terms of their
[1:36:41] Speaker 14: trying to withdraw tps from particularly black countries, with their
[1:36:47] Speaker 14: one hundred percent white refugee admission of the white South africaners,
[1:36:53] Speaker 14: the white trash of South Africa and zero black people
[1:36:57] Speaker 14: despite all of these conflicts around the war, around the world. Well,
[1:37:00] Speaker 14: we see where that lack of unity is really harming
[1:37:06] Speaker 14: Black Americans. The birthright citizenship argument in front of the
[1:37:10] Speaker 14: Supreme Court that Donald Trump is on, all of these
[1:37:14] Speaker 14: things have been used in terms of immigration, have been
[1:37:17] Speaker 14: used as a pretext to come after black people. We
[1:37:22] Speaker 14: saw it in Chicago. One of the first things that
[1:37:24] Speaker 14: they did was they sent military aircraft to a building
[1:37:28] Speaker 14: in Chicago on the South side of Chicago, since we're
[1:37:31] Speaker 14: talking about Chicago today, and had military personnel, essentially had
[1:37:36] Speaker 14: government agents repelling down the side of the building, trashing
[1:37:42] Speaker 14: an entire apartment building that was already under slum lower conditions,
[1:37:47] Speaker 14: pulling all of the residents out, separating black and immigrants.
[1:37:53] Speaker 9: From each other.
[1:37:54] Speaker 14: We saw story after story of black people who are
[1:37:57] Speaker 14: Americans who were being thrown into the of U haul
[1:38:00] Speaker 14: trucks and taken to facilities where they were detaining immigrants.
[1:38:06] Speaker 14: So to the extent that we allowed this immigrant versus
[1:38:10] Speaker 14: Black American diasporar type of attitude to permeate our culture,
[1:38:17] Speaker 14: that's the same extent that we are undermining our political
[1:38:21] Speaker 14: viability in our political capital. Because when these cops, when
[1:38:26] Speaker 14: these ice, when these lawless malitious are going around like Paterollas,
[1:38:30] Speaker 14: as doctor Carr would say, they're not worried about Oh
[1:38:34] Speaker 14: I think that they might be Asian and college elice,
[1:38:36] Speaker 14: or oh that's just good old fashioned Louisiana black and
[1:38:39] Speaker 14: not thinking like that. They just see a black face
[1:38:41] Speaker 14: and they think that you're not American and they treat
[1:38:44] Speaker 14: you as such.
[1:38:47] Speaker 3: Great, that's right.
[1:38:49] Speaker 7: The Reese's right.
[1:38:50] Speaker 6: Johnny Clark used to say that, and Larry sounds like
[1:38:52] Speaker 6: you challenge John Clark when you said the both just
[1:38:54] Speaker 6: dropped us off different places. He said, the most racist,
[1:38:58] Speaker 6: the most pan African, This person in the United States
[1:39:01] Speaker 6: is a New York City cab driver. He can't tell
[1:39:03] Speaker 6: whether you from Haiti or whether you're from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,
[1:39:06] Speaker 6: he not gonna pick your ass because you plaied. So
[1:39:09] Speaker 6: the whole point is that that solidarity is already in
[1:39:12] Speaker 6: place and Africa has problems. You know again, the Black
[1:39:16] Speaker 6: Star Network. How fortuitous is at brother you in Ghana,
[1:39:19] Speaker 6: you in lap area to name this the Black Star Network.
[1:39:22] Speaker 6: What an expression of pan Aghanism. As we see the
[1:39:24] Speaker 6: Black Stars of Ghana winning their initial World Cup match,
[1:39:28] Speaker 6: and by the way, Congo tied Portugal and all the
[1:39:32] Speaker 6: people are like, oh my god, no, that's that juju baby,
[1:39:34] Speaker 6: and they're gonna beat the next team anyway.
[1:39:36] Speaker 7: But in this moment you mentioned visas.
[1:39:40] Speaker 6: The African Union has put something forward, a policy plan
[1:39:43] Speaker 6: called I Think It's Africa twenty sixty three.
[1:39:46] Speaker 7: So far, here are the countries.
[1:39:48] Speaker 6: You can go from one African country to another and
[1:39:50] Speaker 6: you don't need a visa to get in.
[1:39:52] Speaker 7: Say Shell's has been doing it for a very long time.
[1:39:54] Speaker 6: For Gambia, you don't need a visa, Benin you don't
[1:39:57] Speaker 6: need a visa, Rwanda you don't need a visa.
[1:39:59] Speaker 7: God, why no, you don't need a visa.
[1:40:01] Speaker 6: As of January twenty twenty five, Kenya joined that list
[1:40:04] Speaker 6: in July twenty twenty five. Togo joined that list last month,
[1:40:08] Speaker 6: and the Republic of Congo, not the DRC the Center,
[1:40:12] Speaker 6: but the one on the Atlantic, the station Advisor Dive
[1:40:14] Speaker 6: Fallabinga is from there. They announced they're going for January
[1:40:17] Speaker 6: twenty twenty seven. This is scaring the living hell out
[1:40:21] Speaker 6: of these white supremacists, out of these white nationalists. Now
[1:40:24] Speaker 6: the big Congo, as you say, with Yourbola outbreak, thanks
[1:40:26] Speaker 6: to little Marco and everybody's stripping all his money out
[1:40:28] Speaker 6: Trump and he's probably twenty twenty five boys.
[1:40:31] Speaker 7: The Democratic Republic of Congo is now trying.
[1:40:33] Speaker 6: To figure out how to keep their hands on more
[1:40:36] Speaker 6: of the Cold Tan than these Europeans and including the
[1:40:40] Speaker 6: Israelis and everybody else down they're trying to steal.
[1:40:42] Speaker 7: And it is sending shockwaves through the continent. Again, you're right, Roland.
[1:40:48] Speaker 7: Nobody and Larry.
[1:40:49] Speaker 6: Said, nobody is talking about this in the way we're
[1:40:51] Speaker 6: talking about it to the descendants of slaves.
[1:40:53] Speaker 7: Now is not the time that mentality is tired. It's dead.
[1:40:58] Speaker 6: And when you know the history of our people, like
[1:41:00] Speaker 6: you said that that Ralph Bunch book, Ralph Bunch spent
[1:41:03] Speaker 6: his twenties and thirties talking about decolonization. When the UN
[1:41:06] Speaker 6: was formed, he became the most as Kyle Rustill says,
[1:41:10] Speaker 6: the most indispensable man. But when he went to Congo Patrica,
[1:41:15] Speaker 6: l Mumba said, nah, I don't know, because I know
[1:41:18] Speaker 6: you want to help us, but you're the Negro and
[1:41:19] Speaker 6: I know you don't have the power, and it's breaking
[1:41:22] Speaker 6: Ralph Bunch his heart. They gave him a Nobel Peace
[1:41:24] Speaker 6: Prize for basically helping Israel establish its criminal enterprise, and
[1:41:28] Speaker 6: you get caught up in it. The move now is
[1:41:31] Speaker 6: not to get caught up in the United States. The
[1:41:33] Speaker 6: move now is to expand outward. And you know we
[1:41:36] Speaker 6: were going to interview lining up the interview now. I
[1:41:39] Speaker 6: talked to him a couple of days ago. Roland Zizway Poe,
[1:41:43] Speaker 6: who's at Lincoln University where kwamean and crewman and not
[1:41:45] Speaker 6: Ezek we went to school. And in Kichi Taifa, who
[1:41:50] Speaker 6: is one of the founders of in Cobra. They're having
[1:41:53] Speaker 6: their conference here at the end of the month because
[1:41:54] Speaker 6: they are in a cry right now. But I tell
[1:41:56] Speaker 6: you what, I'm gonna pass the information on to you
[1:41:58] Speaker 6: so they can talk to you at RM you and
[1:42:00] Speaker 6: give a report to all of us based on what
[1:42:03] Speaker 6: happened in our cry so that you know, because we
[1:42:05] Speaker 6: got people over there right now. It's a bunch of
[1:42:06] Speaker 6: our people over there right now who coming back, and
[1:42:08] Speaker 6: I'll make sure that you know, you can interview them
[1:42:10] Speaker 6: and then we'll do something else.
[1:42:12] Speaker 3: Yeah, like I said, I really wanted to be there
[1:42:15] Speaker 3: to cover the conference, but you know, like I say,
[1:42:20] Speaker 3: you know, look, I was going to bring crews and
[1:42:22] Speaker 3: I said, listen, I need to know what's going to
[1:42:25] Speaker 3: be to set up we will be able to lock
[1:42:27] Speaker 3: down interviews. I'm not going there just to observe I've said.
[1:42:32] Speaker 3: I'm like, we had to cover it. Last thing here.
[1:42:35] Speaker 3: I just want you to understand. We mentioned this, we
[1:42:39] Speaker 3: called the scattering in Africa the Berlin Conference. This is
[1:42:44] Speaker 3: right here. Look, this is eighteen eighty what the continent
[1:42:49] Speaker 3: actually looked like. On the right. It's what it looked
[1:42:55] Speaker 3: like when they got done with it, how they carved
[1:42:59] Speaker 3: up and create all of these different nations. You did
[1:43:02] Speaker 3: not see. It's too many of us walking around not
[1:43:09] Speaker 3: listen y'all. If y'all grown that bullshit and what you
[1:43:15] Speaker 3: learn in school ain't nothing elementary school, junior high, high school, college.
[1:43:20] Speaker 3: You could throw most of that away. I'm telling y'all,
[1:43:23] Speaker 3: if you want to understand what is happening with geopolitics,
[1:43:28] Speaker 3: what's happening in the world today, then you have to
[1:43:31] Speaker 3: go outside of your comfort zone and you got to
[1:43:33] Speaker 3: read and listen. You may not have as many books
[1:43:36] Speaker 3: as Greg got behind him, And trust me, if I
[1:43:38] Speaker 3: was at my house right now, you would see the
[1:43:42] Speaker 3: ten bookcases. I got it, my creb, I got books
[1:43:45] Speaker 3: all over the place. But y'all, I'm telling you right now,
[1:43:49] Speaker 3: we're using this show to try to walk you through
[1:43:52] Speaker 3: and to educate you and to get you to understand
[1:43:55] Speaker 3: what is going on because the public policy thing that
[1:44:00] Speaker 3: we break down are not about the next election. It's
[1:44:05] Speaker 3: literally the next twenty thirty forty years. In fact, we
[1:44:10] Speaker 3: got a we got an email today. Do y'all even
[1:44:16] Speaker 3: know that they are They are changing how we frame
[1:44:23] Speaker 3: minority banks. Do y'all understand what's going on? Listen, y'all,
[1:44:30] Speaker 3: So many crazy things are happening that don't get covered
[1:44:34] Speaker 3: at all. In fact, this is what's happening in the
[1:44:38] Speaker 3: Department of Homeland Security. They have finalized their rule that
[1:44:42] Speaker 3: restricts how discrimination can be penalized in federal grants. Totaling
[1:44:46] Speaker 3: billions of dollars, The SINSON removes the government's ability to
[1:44:49] Speaker 3: penalize funding recipients for policies disproportionate impact minority groups unless
[1:44:54] Speaker 3: there is clear evidence of intentional discrimination. The rule was
[1:44:58] Speaker 3: signed by Homeland Security Secretary Mark GWayne Mullen as scheduled
[1:45:01] Speaker 3: for publication in the Federal Register on June twenty second,
[1:45:03] Speaker 3: officially eliminates disparate impact liability under Title six the Civil
[1:45:08] Speaker 3: Rights Act in nineteen sixty four for the Department of
[1:45:10] Speaker 3: Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. It also
[1:45:13] Speaker 3: completely removes long standing affirmative action provisions within the agency's
[1:45:17] Speaker 3: grant frameworks. By changing the standard from one based on
[1:45:20] Speaker 3: effects to one requiring proof of intent. The policy fundamentally
[1:45:24] Speaker 3: alters the landscape for tens of thousands of local governments,
[1:45:29] Speaker 3: emergency services, and community groups that depend on DT's funding.
[1:45:33] Speaker 3: For decades, federal civil rights enforcement operated under two standards.
[1:45:36] Speaker 3: It banned overt intentional bigestry bigotry, and the prohibited facially
[1:45:40] Speaker 3: neutral rules that had disparate negative impact on marginalized, racial
[1:45:44] Speaker 3: or ethnity groups. Now check this out. While that thing
[1:45:48] Speaker 3: is happening, you then have again how they're changing. It
[1:45:54] Speaker 3: is all structural. Donald Trump is now shifted enforcement of
[1:45:59] Speaker 3: civil rights for the Department Education under his insane Department
[1:46:03] Speaker 3: of Justice. Y'all, this is what's happening in our very eyes.
[1:46:09] Speaker 3: Next week, because we're off tomorrow, we're going to talk
[1:46:12] Speaker 3: about these rules. Regarding the banks. The National Bankers Association
[1:46:19] Speaker 3: sent us a statement where they what's going on is
[1:46:28] Speaker 3: that the Controller of the Currency revised the policy statement
[1:46:32] Speaker 3: on Minority Depository Institutions. They narrow the long standing standard
[1:46:38] Speaker 3: used to designate national banks and Federal Savings Association as MDIs.
[1:46:44] Speaker 3: They emphasize the change applies only to occ supervise institutions.
[1:46:48] Speaker 3: The existing MDA designations remained in place in the constructive
[1:46:51] Speaker 3: Path forward anchor in the statue in an a partnership
[1:46:53] Speaker 3: Department Treasury remains open. But again they now want to
[1:46:58] Speaker 3: reframe what is a minority deposit institution. We already had
[1:47:04] Speaker 3: the ruling Larry a couple of years ago in Tennessee,
[1:47:09] Speaker 3: where a white woman sued because she wanted to be
[1:47:12] Speaker 3: a part of the Section eight part of the the
[1:47:18] Speaker 3: Affirmative Action program. Now he's what's so crazy. She got
[1:47:22] Speaker 3: her money through the women's program, but she sued by
[1:47:25] Speaker 3: saying she couldn't be part of the black program. But
[1:47:28] Speaker 3: she never even applied to be part of the black program.
[1:47:31] Speaker 3: You've got two white men in Indiana that sued and
[1:47:35] Speaker 3: the Trump department, the Trump lawyer said, oh yeah, we
[1:47:38] Speaker 3: would love to completely get rid of a thirty seven
[1:47:41] Speaker 3: billion dollar disadvantaged business in the prize program. See again,
[1:47:46] Speaker 3: I need people on, people watching and listening to understand.
[1:47:49] Speaker 3: Their whole aim is to completely destroy and eradicate the
[1:47:54] Speaker 3: civil rights and economic rights infrastructure that's created the opportunit
[1:48:00] Speaker 3: the minimal opportunities, the minuscule opportunities that we've received.
[1:48:07] Speaker 2: And Roland, this is a really important and powerful point.
[1:48:10] Speaker 15: Let's expand that a bit beyond were just talking about
[1:48:13] Speaker 15: the Civil Rights Act, Rowland.
[1:48:15] Speaker 2: They're trying to get rid of the great society programs.
[1:48:18] Speaker 15: You know, we talk about the Fair Housing Act, right,
[1:48:20] Speaker 15: we even talk about things like eesea higher education at
[1:48:23] Speaker 15: all these other bills which will all civil rights bills
[1:48:26] Speaker 15: to adjust years of Jim Crow and people there.
[1:48:30] Speaker 2: In some respects they're very quietly doing it and the impact.
[1:48:35] Speaker 15: That it will have that will continue to have on
[1:48:37] Speaker 15: black people beyond this administration because people are like, oh,
[1:48:40] Speaker 15: you know, we have an election this year, we have
[1:48:41] Speaker 15: election presidential election a couple of years.
[1:48:43] Speaker 2: Know, all these things that black people fall forward.
[1:48:45] Speaker 15: Too decades and they're dismantling it just within a very
[1:48:49] Speaker 15: short period of time. And it will take maybe another
[1:48:51] Speaker 15: generation too to get back to where we were just
[1:48:53] Speaker 15: a couple of years ago.
[1:48:55] Speaker 2: So it's going to be really important. But like I said, people,
[1:48:58] Speaker 2: you talk about people watching.
[1:48:59] Speaker 15: This show getting educated to understand what in some respects
[1:49:04] Speaker 15: has happened quietly and in other cases with this administration
[1:49:08] Speaker 15: very loudly doing these things. But the problem with this
[1:49:13] Speaker 15: new law rule, among others, is that they have been
[1:49:17] Speaker 15: doing it and will continue to dismandle Like you said,
[1:49:19] Speaker 15: this relates to Civil Rights Act, but many of these
[1:49:22] Speaker 15: other opportunities that black people at faught for then in
[1:49:25] Speaker 15: some in many cases other minoritized groups have benefited from.
[1:49:28] Speaker 2: They been able to build wealth, going to school, et cetera.
[1:49:31] Speaker 3: We're all going to.
[1:49:32] Speaker 15: Catch an al on this, and it's including white people
[1:49:35] Speaker 15: who don't realized that they benefited from the Great society, programs,
[1:49:38] Speaker 15: civil rights at how fairhousing are right? We if one
[1:49:42] Speaker 15: group benefits, then the economy, economic, political, and social system
[1:49:47] Speaker 15: of the entire nation rises. But when you're focused on
[1:49:50] Speaker 15: whiteness and what not what benefits is all, then this
[1:49:53] Speaker 15: is where we find ourselves in the current situation. So
[1:49:56] Speaker 15: it's going to be really important not only in terms
[1:49:58] Speaker 15: of the black community, but other groups who benefited from
[1:50:02] Speaker 15: the sacrifice and deaths of black folks or where what's happening?
[1:50:06] Speaker 15: And then we need them to speak up because black
[1:50:08] Speaker 15: folks have always been in the front line. Now it's
[1:50:09] Speaker 15: time for some other folks to now step forward and
[1:50:13] Speaker 15: realize that your lives and lives of your children will
[1:50:16] Speaker 15: be impacted by these economic decisions.
[1:50:19] Speaker 2: They're being made by policymakers who don't see you and
[1:50:22] Speaker 2: don't want you to be here.
[1:50:24] Speaker 3: See what was crazy, RACI. It was the eight to
[1:50:26] Speaker 3: A program with the small business administration of this white woman,
[1:50:29] Speaker 3: Celeste Bennett. She sued saying that she was not eligible
[1:50:33] Speaker 3: for the racial presumption part of the aight A program,
[1:50:37] Speaker 3: and she claims her business lost out on opportunities to
[1:50:41] Speaker 3: businesses that were in the program, even though she actually
[1:50:44] Speaker 3: benefited from the women program.
[1:50:49] Speaker 14: Yeah, bitch, you ain't qualified for the black sheet. You
[1:50:51] Speaker 14: qualifying for the women's sit And I bet you a
[1:50:53] Speaker 14: whole bunch of black women couldn't get the women shit
[1:50:55] Speaker 14: because yo white ass was getting the women's shit.
[1:50:58] Speaker 1: So what.
[1:50:59] Speaker 14: But this is the problem with the whites is that
[1:51:01] Speaker 14: they want us to have nothing. Yep, they want they're
[1:51:05] Speaker 14: not satisfied with. Well, y'all can get a little bit
[1:51:08] Speaker 14: of a scrap because we get one percent here, two percent,
[1:51:10] Speaker 14: there's zero percent. They're never satisfied until we have nothing.
[1:51:15] Speaker 14: So yeah, of course, well I know I got mine,
[1:51:17] Speaker 14: but you're not going to get yours, even if that
[1:51:21] Speaker 14: yours is a fraction of what I was able to get,
[1:51:24] Speaker 14: because you can't tell it that there's more money in
[1:51:26] Speaker 14: the black shit than there is in a women shit.
[1:51:28] Speaker 15: No.
[1:51:28] Speaker 3: In fact, in the in the dB in the DBE
[1:51:31] Speaker 3: portion of the program, white women get seventy eight percent
[1:51:35] Speaker 3: of the disadvantaged business contracts percent exactly African American businesses.
[1:51:41] Speaker 3: African American businesses got two percent under Bush. Under Biden
[1:51:45] Speaker 3: hairs that two percent represented ten billion dollars, the largest ever.
[1:51:49] Speaker 3: But it's two percent, right, And so these white folks like,
[1:51:54] Speaker 3: we don't even want y'all to have two percent.
[1:51:56] Speaker 7: They don't want us to have nothing.
[1:51:58] Speaker 3: In fact, and in fact and in fact on Trump
[1:52:00] Speaker 3: under Trump is not down a one point two percent.
[1:52:04] Speaker 14: Right, And that's only because you look, we don't die,
[1:52:08] Speaker 14: We multipply it. At a certain point, we're gonna find
[1:52:10] Speaker 14: a way to make a way out of no way.
[1:52:12] Speaker 14: So that whole what they're trying to do, they're never
[1:52:14] Speaker 14: going to be able to accomplish entirely, because we know
[1:52:17] Speaker 14: how to make lemonade at the limits. We know how
[1:52:19] Speaker 14: to make a dollar out of fifteen cents, something that
[1:52:21] Speaker 14: they don't know how to do, which is about I
[1:52:22] Speaker 14: got a rate, pillage and steal everything, and they only
[1:52:26] Speaker 14: look at everything as something that they can extract and
[1:52:30] Speaker 14: if you got it, I got to get it from you.
[1:52:32] Speaker 14: But when you talk about minority deposit institutions, this is
[1:52:36] Speaker 14: this goes back to the Biden Harrison administration and what
[1:52:40] Speaker 14: they did through the US Treasury in funneling billions of
[1:52:44] Speaker 14: dollars eight billion dollars into these minority deposit institutions so
[1:52:51] Speaker 14: that those institutions can serve underserved communities. Black for the
[1:52:55] Speaker 14: most part, okay, and increase mortgage availability, increase small business,
[1:53:00] Speaker 14: this capital and opportunities for them. And so by expanding
[1:53:04] Speaker 14: what is a minority depositive institutions, that is, by definition,
[1:53:08] Speaker 14: extracting money, capital opportunity from underserved communities to the whites.
[1:53:16] Speaker 14: And we've seen what's happened with this racial reckoning revolt
[1:53:21] Speaker 14: that we're seeing in a the Trump administration. The Trump
[1:53:24] Speaker 14: regime were accurately put is that if you'll get people
[1:53:27] Speaker 14: an inge to bed okay, so we don't have to
[1:53:28] Speaker 14: give it to the blacks in order for it to
[1:53:30] Speaker 14: account for something, Oh yeah, they're gonna take a mother
[1:53:32] Speaker 14: fuck amount. So that's why you have more donors at
[1:53:36] Speaker 14: the UFC two point fifty than you do at goddamn
[1:53:39] Speaker 14: Assen today struggling to try to get some to to
[1:53:41] Speaker 14: try to get some corporate sponsorship. Because as long as
[1:53:44] Speaker 14: these corporations, who have never been about altruism, never been
[1:53:48] Speaker 14: about values, have an opportunity to funnel things.
[1:53:52] Speaker 3: To the whites, they will.
[1:53:54] Speaker 14: So this goes back to dismantling the advances that we
[1:53:59] Speaker 14: made unders that weren't step by step. It's foundational. You
[1:54:03] Speaker 14: don't anstantly get a bunch of black people who got
[1:54:06] Speaker 14: homes and and and small businesses that are thriving. But
[1:54:10] Speaker 14: there's an investment there that will now be reversed and
[1:54:13] Speaker 14: will be funneled to places that don't need them and
[1:54:16] Speaker 14: to people that don't need them.
[1:54:18] Speaker 3: This is also going full circle, Greg. This is also
[1:54:21] Speaker 3: why when you get power, you use it. See, this
[1:54:25] Speaker 3: is why. And I'm telling you Greg, I remember. I
[1:54:30] Speaker 3: remember participating in a lot of conversations with a lot
[1:54:35] Speaker 3: of very smart black people with multiple degrees who were
[1:54:38] Speaker 3: CEOs who and they were like, hey, man, we really
[1:54:43] Speaker 3: can't ask for a lot with Obama because see, we
[1:54:46] Speaker 3: don't want to make white folk mad because he might
[1:54:50] Speaker 3: not get a second term. And I was like, you
[1:54:53] Speaker 3: scared to ask for some stuff because somebody white who
[1:54:57] Speaker 3: you don't even know may do something. I said, man, listen,
[1:55:00] Speaker 3: this is like his first year. I also down in Miami.
[1:55:03] Speaker 3: I said, y'all, a second term ain't promised. You better
[1:55:07] Speaker 3: get as much as you can while you can. And
[1:55:10] Speaker 3: this is why, this is why I totally disagreed with
[1:55:13] Speaker 3: the folks who were like, well, no, you know, you know,
[1:55:15] Speaker 3: we got to sit here and walk quietly. I was like, hell,
[1:55:18] Speaker 3: I said, we may never ever in our lifetime see
[1:55:21] Speaker 3: a black person in the Oval office. I said, man,
[1:55:25] Speaker 3: you better be like Martin Lawrence. Ride that sucker to
[1:55:27] Speaker 3: the wheels fall off.
[1:55:31] Speaker 7: Broland.
[1:55:32] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[1:55:32] Speaker 6: Hey, a lot of people think that I'm a Barack
[1:55:34] Speaker 6: Obama hater. I am that that was Frigenders. Chocolate Wonders
[1:55:38] Speaker 6: is alter ego. That's when he really goes and does
[1:55:40] Speaker 6: some more crazy stuff like not mentioned Jeremiah right when
[1:55:42] Speaker 6: he's sitting dead ass in your face at Jesse Jackson's funeral.
[1:55:45] Speaker 6: At that point, he's a chocolate wonder. But I don't
[1:55:48] Speaker 6: blame Barack Obama. I blame us for exactly what you said.
[1:55:52] Speaker 6: We should have forced him. Here we are in juneteenth.
[1:55:54] Speaker 6: Est Abraham Lincoln as the good brother. Laren Bennett said
[1:55:58] Speaker 6: in his book Force in the Glory. He said, think
[1:56:00] Speaker 6: Abraham Lincoln's hand was shaken when he signed the Amman
[1:56:03] Speaker 6: Spaci Proclamation. He was forced into glory because we was
[1:56:06] Speaker 6: getting ready to overwhelm this thing and bust out of slavery.
[1:56:08] Speaker 6: Either way, if we had treated the President of the
[1:56:10] Speaker 6: United States to forty fourth the way that we claim
[1:56:13] Speaker 6: we want to treat to other presidents, he would have
[1:56:15] Speaker 6: been forced into even more glory.
[1:56:16] Speaker 7: It would have been something different. And you're absolutely right.
[1:56:19] Speaker 6: Now, let's be very clear about what Mark Wayne Muller
[1:56:21] Speaker 6: in a white passing Cherokee because Cherokee don't have blood quantum,
[1:56:24] Speaker 6: so he's always claiming he's Cherokee. But the thing about
[1:56:26] Speaker 6: Cherokee Nation is they don't count you as Cherokee, not
[1:56:29] Speaker 6: based on how much blood you have. They got political designation.
[1:56:33] Speaker 6: So you're white passing Cherokee if your Cherokee had all
[1:56:36] Speaker 6: punk ass Mark Wayne Mulley. But at any rate, you
[1:56:39] Speaker 6: can't overturn disparate impact with an executive order or a
[1:56:43] Speaker 6: monkey policy change, whether the Department of Justice.
[1:56:47] Speaker 7: Or any of the other federal departments.
[1:56:50] Speaker 6: The right to bring disparate impact claims was decided by
[1:56:55] Speaker 6: the Supreme Court in nineteen seventy one in a case
[1:56:57] Speaker 6: called Griggs versus Due Power Company.
[1:56:59] Speaker 7: If you can pray.
[1:57:00] Speaker 6: Disparate impact even mean, well, I didn't intend on doing it, yeah,
[1:57:03] Speaker 6: but look at the impact in his head. It was
[1:57:05] Speaker 6: codified by Congress and the Civil Rights Act of nineteen
[1:57:08] Speaker 6: ninety one.
[1:57:09] Speaker 7: Now that means we.
[1:57:10] Speaker 6: Got a guy here and vote and make sure that
[1:57:11] Speaker 6: they don't try to do it. It's all in Project
[1:57:13] Speaker 6: twenty twenty five. This is more saber rap than you
[1:57:15] Speaker 6: can still bring a claim. You can still have that
[1:57:18] Speaker 6: claim rule in your favor. What this is is the
[1:57:21] Speaker 6: federal government saying we're not going to prioritize those claims,
[1:57:24] Speaker 6: or we're going to deep not only deprioritize, we're gonna
[1:57:26] Speaker 6: interpret what disparate impact is differently. But they did not
[1:57:29] Speaker 6: change the law. They don't have the ability to do that.
[1:57:32] Speaker 6: The courts have to interpret the statue and it was
[1:57:34] Speaker 6: very explicit in nineteen ninety one. All of that comes
[1:57:37] Speaker 6: down to this. This is consistent warfare, y'all. The former
[1:57:42] Speaker 6: Attorney General Eric Holder said this today at the Obama
[1:57:46] Speaker 6: Center Unfailing. He said, you know so fed lou Hammer
[1:57:51] Speaker 6: was tired. John Lewis was tired.
[1:57:52] Speaker 7: You tired?
[1:57:53] Speaker 6: He said, if you're tired, then go take a nap.
[1:57:55] Speaker 6: Sounded like EPMD. If you tired people take a nap
[1:57:58] Speaker 6: and they get up and keep fighting, you don't think
[1:58:00] Speaker 6: they were tired.
[1:58:01] Speaker 7: So this is what we have to do.
[1:58:03] Speaker 6: And I do want to mention as it relates to Africa.
[1:58:05] Speaker 6: We know Africa has problems right now. South Africa, the
[1:58:07] Speaker 6: xenophobic stuff against Nigerians, against us, zimbab wins. You know,
[1:58:13] Speaker 6: all this is economic pressure brought on in part because
[1:58:15] Speaker 6: of what you said, Roland, that structuring. There's a good
[1:58:18] Speaker 6: show on the weekends on YouTube called at the African
[1:58:20] Speaker 6: News Review, a good Brother out of Nigeria, out of
[1:58:22] Speaker 6: so they speaks knowledge and Nellie and a beautiful journalist
[1:58:26] Speaker 6: who's been doing this for a couple of generations. You
[1:58:28] Speaker 6: probably knowing Roland out of New York, Milton Alamighty out
[1:58:31] Speaker 6: of our Ganda.
[1:58:32] Speaker 7: They keep up with all this stuff.
[1:58:33] Speaker 6: Nobody saying Africa is perfect. Nobody's saying anybody is perfect.
[1:58:37] Speaker 6: But we are saying this to your point, we have
[1:58:39] Speaker 6: to inform ourselves because a story like that, we'll have
[1:58:41] Speaker 6: people thinking, oh they stripped all right. No no, no, no,
[1:58:44] Speaker 6: you can still bring a disparate impact. Claim Mark, Wayne
[1:58:46] Speaker 6: Mullen and Autumn Hillbillies up there are simply trying to
[1:58:49] Speaker 6: throw everything against the wall to take us off of
[1:58:52] Speaker 6: our square.
[1:58:52] Speaker 7: And that's why we have to inform ourselves.
[1:58:54] Speaker 3: Indeed, folks, there was a lot of the stuff we
[1:58:56] Speaker 3: wanted to get to. But you know what, I believe
[1:58:59] Speaker 3: in the spirit moving we you know, we just let
[1:59:02] Speaker 3: it flow. That's another reason why I want to have
[1:59:05] Speaker 3: my own show, because this was some bullshit on CNN
[1:59:08] Speaker 3: after eight minutes, gonna leave it there. We gotta leave
[1:59:11] Speaker 3: it there. I hate those shows because they really don't
[1:59:15] Speaker 3: give an opportunity to break stuff down, to go into
[1:59:18] Speaker 3: depth and to teach as well. So let me thank Larry,
[1:59:22] Speaker 3: reci and Greg. Happy June teenth to all three of you.
[1:59:28] Speaker 3: I truly appreciate it. Thank you so very much. Folks.
[1:59:30] Speaker 3: Let's go to Black Student Network head.
[1:59:32] Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, bro, you said you're not gonna be on
[1:59:35] Speaker 7: the air tomorrow.
[1:59:36] Speaker 3: No no, so I gave I gave our folks the
[1:59:39] Speaker 3: day off tomorrow, you teeth off.
[1:59:42] Speaker 6: Well, well then tonight then, And I was actually I
[1:59:44] Speaker 6: said that this morning, were gonna arm you. I said,
[1:59:46] Speaker 6: you know, Roland Martin, it's not going to miss an
[1:59:48] Speaker 6: opportunity to note the fact that in eighteen seventy two
[1:59:51] Speaker 6: it was John Henry Yates that put Emancipacient prop Practice
[1:59:55] Speaker 6: Pop together to have that June teen.
[1:59:57] Speaker 7: So you gotta gotta gotta give up.
[1:59:59] Speaker 3: Jail card, of course. And what a lot of people
[2:00:01] Speaker 3: don't realize is that it was it was a freed
[2:00:05] Speaker 3: slaves who acquired lots of land all across the South
[2:00:10] Speaker 3: and called it Emancipation Land. Uh that's they actually phrase it.
[2:00:15] Speaker 3: Uh So yeah, that that land there in Third Ward
[2:00:18] Speaker 3: where Emancipation Park sits, and they have Juneteenth celebration takes
[2:00:22] Speaker 3: place there. And of course jackieads my alma mater name
[2:00:27] Speaker 3: after Reverend Jack Yats, and so absolutely, and so we had,
[2:00:31] Speaker 3: of course reverend that we had was an al. Edward's
[2:00:34] Speaker 3: son on the show yesterday, talked about the role that
[2:00:36] Speaker 3: his dad played in getting June teenth passed June seventh,
[2:00:41] Speaker 3: nineteen seventy nine. And what I didn't realize is that
[2:00:46] Speaker 3: before it was the federal holiday, that all Edwards went
[2:00:49] Speaker 3: went to multiple state capitals to beget June teens declared
[2:00:53] Speaker 3: holidays there and so it was recognized in forty five
[2:00:57] Speaker 3: states before it became a federal holiday. And so again
[2:01:01] Speaker 3: one of the reasons why it's important to have shows
[2:01:04] Speaker 3: like this here that breaks down that sort of history
[2:01:07] Speaker 3: that you and damn sure not gonna get on a
[2:01:09] Speaker 3: lot of these black radio shows, a lot of these
[2:01:12] Speaker 3: black podcasts, and your damn show, the ain't gonna get
[2:01:14] Speaker 3: them on ABC, NBCCBS and the rest of them, folks,
[2:01:17] Speaker 3: you ain't gonna get that at all. So again, so
[2:01:20] Speaker 3: let me take our panel. I appreciate it. Let's go
[2:01:23] Speaker 3: to Black stud Network headlines.
[2:01:27] Speaker 16: The Chicago college student who admitted to lighting Across on
[2:01:30] Speaker 16: fire in Grant Park in Chicago earlier this month will
[2:01:33] Speaker 16: be charged with a hate crime. The LAE arrested twenty
[2:01:36] Speaker 16: one year old Merlin Lou and charged him with four
[2:01:38] Speaker 16: felon accounts and four misdemeanor counts related to the June
[2:01:41] Speaker 16: ninth incident. Lou says the act was intended as a
[2:01:44] Speaker 16: protest against President Donald Trump, not against black people. A
[2:01:49] Speaker 16: change dot org petition calling for a street in Chicago
[2:01:52] Speaker 16: to be renamed after former President Barack Obama is picking
[2:01:56] Speaker 16: up steam. The petition calls for Wabashaffnue downtown in Chicago
[2:02:00] Speaker 16: to be renamed President Barack Obama Avenue.
[2:02:02] Speaker 3: In addition to honoring the first black.
[2:02:04] Speaker 16: President, the name change would also be a flight to
[2:02:07] Speaker 16: President Trump, as it would change the address of the
[2:02:10] Speaker 16: Trump at a National Hotel and Tower to four oh
[2:02:13] Speaker 16: one Barack Hussein Obama Avenue. The ninety two story skyscrapers
[2:02:18] Speaker 16: one of the Trump Organization's key properties. Rice Jones, who
[2:02:22] Speaker 16: started the petition, said this move would send a small
[2:02:25] Speaker 16: message about the values we uphold as a city, those
[2:02:29] Speaker 16: of inclusivity, resilient and forward thinking change. Now, Jones is
[2:02:34] Speaker 16: calling on Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and to the council
[2:02:36] Speaker 16: members to give serious consideration to the rebranding proposal, which
[2:02:41] Speaker 16: he said would immortalize small acts of resistance in our cityscape.
[2:02:46] Speaker 3: In Louisiana, new law to.
[2:02:47] Speaker 16: Protect people working behind the counter and restaurants, stores, and
[2:02:51] Speaker 16: other service businesses will go into effect. Governor def Landry
[2:02:55] Speaker 16: signed the Behind Act Protection Act into law. He signed
[2:02:59] Speaker 16: the bill earlier today. The new measure toughens penalties for
[2:03:02] Speaker 16: those who threaten or attack workers at service points supporters
[2:03:06] Speaker 16: at the laws modeled after protections already in place for
[2:03:09] Speaker 16: healthcare workers. Businesses will also be able to post signs
[2:03:12] Speaker 16: warning customers that workplace violence against employees can lead to
[2:03:16] Speaker 16: an arrest and conviction. A simple battery conviction against a
[2:03:20] Speaker 16: covered worker carries up to two thousand dollars fine and
[2:03:23] Speaker 16: or two years in prison. Simple assault carries up to
[2:03:25] Speaker 16: a one thousand dollars fine and possibly six months in jail.
[2:03:29] Speaker 3: This law goes into effect on August first.
[2:03:33] Speaker 16: Grammy nominated rapper Mystical, whose real name is Michael Tyler,
[2:03:37] Speaker 16: will spend the next two decades in prison after pleading
[2:03:40] Speaker 16: guilty to third degree rape. The rapper, best known for
[2:03:43] Speaker 16: his early two thousand hits Danger and Shake of Fast,
[2:03:46] Speaker 16: was arrested in twenty twenty two and charged with rape, robbery,
[2:03:49] Speaker 16: domestic abuse, battery, strangulation, false imprisonment, and other charges. In March,
[2:03:55] Speaker 16: Tyler entered a guilty plea, which not his first degree
[2:03:58] Speaker 16: rape charge down to degree. In Louisiana, first degree rape
[2:04:02] Speaker 16: carries a maximum life sentence. In two thousand and three,
[2:04:05] Speaker 16: Tyler pleaded guilty to sexual battery. He served six years
[2:04:08] Speaker 16: in prison and was released in twenty ten. During Tuesday sentencing,
[2:04:12] Speaker 16: the victim appeared in court and requested the maximum sentence.
[2:04:15] Speaker 16: She said that Tyler punched, choked, pulled braids out of
[2:04:19] Speaker 16: her hair, and forcibly raped her at his home in
[2:04:22] Speaker 16: twenty twenty two. Fifty five year old Tyler responded with
[2:04:25] Speaker 16: if I did that to you, I deserve the max sentence.
[2:04:28] Speaker 16: He was sentenced to twenty years without the possibility of parole.
[2:04:33] Speaker 16: Gas prices across the country have fallen below four dollars
[2:04:37] Speaker 16: per gallon for the first time in months. The national
[2:04:39] Speaker 16: average for a gallon of regular gas now stands at
[2:04:42] Speaker 16: three dollars in ninety nine cents. It marks the first
[2:04:44] Speaker 16: time since March that prices have dip below the four
[2:04:47] Speaker 16: dollars mark. The drop comes after a US run agreement
[2:04:51] Speaker 16: help ease concerns about global oil supplies and pushed crude
[2:04:54] Speaker 16: oil prices.
[2:04:55] Speaker 3: Lower.
[2:04:56] Speaker 16: Prices still vary widely across the country, with drivers in
[2:04:59] Speaker 16: California pay an average of five dollars and sixty four
[2:05:02] Speaker 16: cents per gallon and drivers in South Carolina paying about
[2:05:05] Speaker 16: three dollars and fifty eight tenths per gallon. Gas prices
[2:05:08] Speaker 16: remained about twenty five percent higher than they were this
[2:05:11] Speaker 16: time last year, and experts say it could take weeks
[2:05:13] Speaker 16: or even months for global oil supplies to recover full.
[2:05:16] Speaker 3: Length, folks, that's it. Be sure to catch Brittany Noble
[2:05:20] Speaker 3: every day noon eastern right here on the Blackstar Network
[2:05:22] Speaker 3: with a breakdown Brittany Noble. Folks, that's it for us

[2:05:30] Speaker 3: whether you are celebrating on the concerts going to Black
[2:05:34] Speaker 3: history events or whatever. Be sure that you also understand
[2:05:40] Speaker 3: that June teenth was not just about celebration. It was
[2:05:42] Speaker 3: also about the Coteen quest for freedom. So please incorporate
[2:05:47] Speaker 3: voter registration into what you do. Please, citizenship education, all
[2:05:52] Speaker 3: those things. It's really important for you to do that.
[2:05:55] Speaker 3: So I really hope that you do that. It's really

[2:06:04] Speaker 3: difficult times. We're living in a moment that for lots
[2:06:09] Speaker 3: of people it is very difficult. And so what is required,

[2:06:20] Speaker 3: inform folks about what's going on. And so we really
[2:06:23] Speaker 3: hope that's what you do. Earlier today, I actually was
