[0:16] Speaker 1: The Justices blocked the twice impeach criminly convicted felon in

[0:24] Speaker 1: Governor Lisa Cook, permitted him to remove a Democrat from
[0:28] Speaker 1: a federal trade commission. Also, court upheld of Mississippi mail
[0:32] Speaker 1: in voting law that allows balanced postmark after election day
[0:35] Speaker 1: by election day to be counted. In addition to that,

[1:20] Speaker 3: Let's go whatever.
[1:25] Speaker 4: Whatever it is he's got.
[1:29] Speaker 2: It.
[1:29] Speaker 5: Believes he's right on.
[1:30] Speaker 6: Time, and best believe he's going Loston News to politics
[1:38] Speaker 6: with entertainment, just books. He's golden, He's she's real, good question.
[2:00] Speaker 3: He's in the market.
[2:34] Speaker 1: Big decisions came down today from the Supreme Court, one
[2:37] Speaker 1: day before the end of the current term, and two decisions.
[2:41] Speaker 1: The extreme Court blocked it twice. In Peach's criminally convicted
[2:44] Speaker 1: fellow in Chief Donald the con Trump from immediately firing
[2:47] Speaker 1: for the Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook, but back his
[2:50] Speaker 1: authority to fire a Democratic appointee to the Federal Trade Commission.
[2:54] Speaker 1: In another decision, the court upheld a state law allowing
[2:57] Speaker 1: mail in ballots postmarked by election day to be received
[3:01] Speaker 1: and still counted up to five business days later, a
[3:05] Speaker 1: defeat for Trump and the GOP's efforts to curtail voting
[3:09] Speaker 1: by mail. In addition to that, they refused his to
[3:14] Speaker 1: hear his case regarding vigue E gen Carroll that means
[3:17] Speaker 1: that he's got to pay up. The issue is Justice
[3:19] Speaker 1: Correspondent Ellie Mischil joins us right now, Ellie, glad to
[3:22] Speaker 1: have you here. Lots to talk about, obviously, so let's
[3:27] Speaker 1: get right into it. Ellie, how you doing, I'm good,
[3:30] Speaker 1: How are you doing great? Okay, let's see which one
[3:33] Speaker 1: you want to talk about first.
[3:36] Speaker 7: Let's do the firing cases, because that's going to have
[3:39] Speaker 7: a huge effect on how the government is allowed to function.
[3:43] Speaker 7: In one case, the Supreme Court said that Trump can
[3:46] Speaker 7: fire anybody working for an executive agency, so that in
[3:49] Speaker 7: this case was the Federal Trade Commission, but that can
[3:52] Speaker 7: include the securities an Exchange Commission, and include the EPA,
[3:56] Speaker 7: osha EEOC name a fan federal agency. Trump can fire
[4:00] Speaker 7: any single person who works at that agency, including leaders
[4:04] Speaker 7: that were sentate confirmed. But there's one agency that skips
[4:08] Speaker 7: that the Trump's power, and that is the Federal Reserve Board.
[4:13] Speaker 7: In the second case, they ruled that Trump could not
[4:16] Speaker 7: fire FED Commissioner Lisa Cook for no reason at all.
[4:21] Speaker 7: He can still fire her for cause, but he can't
[4:23] Speaker 7: fire her on a whim. So what's the difference. Why
[4:27] Speaker 7: we have one rule that covers all federal agencies except
[4:32] Speaker 7: for the FED. And the reason is money, right, That's
[4:36] Speaker 7: the only reason here. It's capitalism. The FED protects the
[4:41] Speaker 7: business investments of the billionaire class, of the Epstein class,
[4:46] Speaker 7: and of the Republicans that can currently control the Supreme Court. Legally,
[4:51] Speaker 7: there is no distinction to be made between the Federal
[4:54] Speaker 7: Reserve and the FTC.
[4:56] Speaker 5: Roland.
[4:57] Speaker 7: These two institutions were by Congress.
[5:01] Speaker 3: One year apart.
[5:03] Speaker 7: They were both created by Woodrow Wilson, the FED in
[5:06] Speaker 7: nineteen thirteen and the FTC in nineteen fourteen.
[5:10] Speaker 3: Both of these in the Federal Reserves.
[5:12] Speaker 1: Isn't the Federal Reserve supposed to be independent and the
[5:15] Speaker 1: FTC is a part of the administration.
[5:18] Speaker 3: Well, see, that's the thing.
[5:19] Speaker 7: All of these executive agencies are supposed to have some
[5:23] Speaker 7: level of independence from the executive branch. That's why Congress
[5:28] Speaker 7: creates these agencies.
[5:29] Speaker 3: This isn't like the.
[5:30] Speaker 7: Department of the Interior or the Department of Commerce or
[5:34] Speaker 7: or what have you. These aren't directly inline cabinet positions
[5:39] Speaker 7: that report directly to the president. These are agencies that
[5:43] Speaker 7: Congress itself creates.
[5:45] Speaker 3: Like the EPA, like the FTCN, like the FED.
[5:48] Speaker 7: And their leadership is supposed to be protected from at
[5:52] Speaker 7: will firing by the president, at least that's how they were.
[5:56] Speaker 7: They were supposed to be set up according to the law.
[5:59] Speaker 7: But court has ignored that law and literally overturned a
[6:03] Speaker 7: precedent that is over ninety years old, saying that these
[6:08] Speaker 7: commissioners cannot be fired at the whim of the president
[6:12] Speaker 7: and can only be fired for cause. John Roberts directly
[6:15] Speaker 7: overturned that precedent this morning in giving Trump the ability
[6:19] Speaker 7: to fire everybody except for the FED.
[6:21] Speaker 2: Okay, so here is the issue.
[6:24] Speaker 1: Is it just leadership or are they saying that Donald
[6:27] Speaker 1: Trump can fire any federal employee that he wants.
[6:32] Speaker 7: Everybody, everybody like it's it's Elon Musk with the chainsaw.
[6:37] Speaker 3: They are now truly allowed to go through.
[6:40] Speaker 7: The entirety of the federal government, not just the executive branch,
[6:44] Speaker 7: but now all of these independent organizations like the Consumer
[6:47] Speaker 7: Protection Financial Bureau again, like the SEC.
[6:50] Speaker 3: And again why do they want to do that? Well,
[6:52] Speaker 3: it's because things like.
[6:53] Speaker 5: The FTC, the SEC.
[6:56] Speaker 7: What these are there to do is regularly business. They're
[7:01] Speaker 7: there to constrain smash and grab capitalism. Right, That's why
[7:05] Speaker 7: the billionaire class doesn't like them. You think they like
[7:08] Speaker 7: having filed quarterly SEC for reports, they don't.
[7:12] Speaker 3: You think they like getting brought up on insider trading charges.
[7:16] Speaker 8: They don't.
[7:17] Speaker 7: And so when you cut these agencies out, what you
[7:20] Speaker 7: do is unleash smashing grab capitalism. The FED, on the
[7:24] Speaker 7: other hand, that is protective of the billionaire class, that
[7:27] Speaker 7: is protective of the US and global economy, that is
[7:30] Speaker 7: protective of the value of the dollar. And John Roberts
[7:33] Speaker 7: is like, Eh, don't mess in my money. So it's
[7:36] Speaker 7: literally a situation where if you are a consumer being
[7:39] Speaker 7: hurt by these people, John Roberts doesn't have any time
[7:42] Speaker 7: for you. But if you are a billionaire who needs
[7:45] Speaker 7: the global economy to work the way it does, John
[7:47] Speaker 7: Roberts has a lot of.
[7:48] Speaker 3: Time for you.
[7:49] Speaker 1: Well, I say, at point blank, if a Democrat wins
[7:52] Speaker 1: in twenty twenty eight inauguration day, I ain't even waiting.
[7:58] Speaker 1: I'm like all over all over public appointees, all y'all
[8:01] Speaker 1: ass is gone. And what it also means is that
[8:05] Speaker 1: part of the reason the FEC has been a toothless
[8:09] Speaker 1: tiger is because they did not You typically would have
[8:13] Speaker 1: two Democrats, two Republicans, and then you couldn't get anything done. Well,
[8:17] Speaker 1: guess what tables have turned. You're not in a position
[8:19] Speaker 1: to say, okay, final, We're gonna sit here and a
[8:23] Speaker 1: point again, as if you have a Democratic president, we're
[8:26] Speaker 1: gonna appoint five nominaders who are a Democrat and we're
[8:29] Speaker 1: gonna completely regulate. Listen, they hated Lena Khan, who was
[8:34] Speaker 1: over the Federal Trade Commission. Mark Cuban was one of
[8:37] Speaker 1: the folks who didn't want her reappointed if Kamala Harris won.
[8:41] Speaker 1: And again with this say is this okay, ye rule
[8:44] Speaker 1: for y'all, rules for us?
[8:47] Speaker 8: Roland.
[8:47] Speaker 7: I would love to agree with you, and I certainly
[8:49] Speaker 7: think that's what the Democrats should do. But have you
[8:52] Speaker 7: met the Democrats, Roland, You and I could not get
[8:55] Speaker 7: Joe Biden to fire the Post Office guy. I mean,
[8:59] Speaker 7: Joe Biden wouldn't fire Louis de Joy of all people.
[9:03] Speaker 7: And now we think the next Democratic president is going
[9:05] Speaker 7: to come in and actually use this new power maximally.
[9:09] Speaker 7: I just I would love to believe that that was
[9:11] Speaker 7: the case, but everything I know from the Democratic Party
[9:14] Speaker 7: tells me that they are too weak, they are too
[9:16] Speaker 7: candyassd to actually use the power. The Supreme Court has
[9:19] Speaker 7: given Trump to say nothing of the fact of a
[9:22] Speaker 7: subtlety and the ruling. And this was from Neil Gorsich
[9:25] Speaker 7: in a concurrence where he's basically saying that, yeah, this
[9:28] Speaker 7: power swings both ways, but when the Democrats do it,
[9:31] Speaker 7: we're just going to overturn the.
[9:33] Speaker 3: Laws that these regulators pass.
[9:35] Speaker 7: Right, so it heads heads, I win tails, you lose
[9:38] Speaker 7: situation if the Democrats come in and use their power
[9:42] Speaker 7: maximally for the first time ever. I think Neil Gorsich
[9:44] Speaker 7: and the other Republicans will waiting in the tall grass
[9:47] Speaker 7: to knock down the regulations that those new people pass.
[9:50] Speaker 1: We'll certainly see if that happens. All Right, this Millan
[9:54] Speaker 1: a ballot lawsuit. The Republican National Committee, they really want it.
[10:00] Speaker 1: This to be thrown out. And what was interesting is
[10:04] Speaker 1: they were actually opposing Mississippi when it came to this,
[10:08] Speaker 1: and so here you had and that's a red state.
[10:12] Speaker 1: And what they were trying to argue is they were
[10:14] Speaker 1: trying to argue that the Constitution says that all voting
[10:17] Speaker 1: must take place on election day, that if a ballot
[10:19] Speaker 1: was postmarked by election day and it came in later,
[10:23] Speaker 1: you can't count it. Supreme the extreme court said nope,
[10:28] Speaker 1: sorry Republicans, this fans.
[10:32] Speaker 7: Yeah, this is actually a win for democracy and one
[10:34] Speaker 7: of the only ones we're going to get. Five to
[10:36] Speaker 7: four written by amy Cony Barrett of all people, with
[10:39] Speaker 7: Barrett and Roberts joining the liberals, they said that Mississippi's
[10:42] Speaker 7: law which allows for the counting of boot ballots received
[10:45] Speaker 7: up to five days after the election, that those ballots
[10:48] Speaker 7: still must be counted. The case turned on this word election.
[10:51] Speaker 7: The case turned on the word choice. The Congress is
[10:55] Speaker 7: able to set the federal government is able to set
[10:58] Speaker 7: the date of election day. Right, we all know, so
[11:00] Speaker 7: it's the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.
[11:04] Speaker 7: But what constitutes making that choice? And according to Amy
[11:08] Speaker 7: Cony Barrett and the majority, the choice is made when
[11:11] Speaker 7: you fill out your ballot, when the ballot gets received,
[11:14] Speaker 7: whether it's on election day or a couple of days
[11:17] Speaker 7: after election day. Don't that doesn't mean that your choice
[11:20] Speaker 7: happened after election day.
[11:22] Speaker 3: You chose by election day.
[11:24] Speaker 7: The fact that the government didn't get your choice until later, well, again,
[11:28] Speaker 7: that seems like a problem with the post office and where.
[11:30] Speaker 3: The Republicans who were opposed to.
[11:32] Speaker 7: Has really got hung up on was the fact that
[11:34] Speaker 7: we already do this for military ballots, right, we already
[11:37] Speaker 7: do this for absentee military ballots. If you are a
[11:39] Speaker 7: soldier serving overseas in Iran now, you know, based in
[11:43] Speaker 7: Germany wherever, you make your choice by election day and
[11:47] Speaker 7: then you send it and then the government has, you know,
[11:49] Speaker 7: five ten days before the ballot gets there, before that
[11:52] Speaker 7: ballot gets to be counted.
[11:54] Speaker 3: Right, So that's how it's supposed to work.
[11:55] Speaker 7: That's how it works in Mississippi, and that big four
[11:58] Speaker 7: is what the Republicans want. The Supreme Court upheld in dissent.
[12:02] Speaker 7: Sam Alito really got hung up on this word choice.
[12:06] Speaker 7: And it's not surprising to me that the same guy
[12:09] Speaker 7: who overturned Roe v. Wade couldn't understand what the word
[12:13] Speaker 7: choice meant. But according to Aledo, he thinks choice doesn't
[12:17] Speaker 7: count until the government sees your choice, which is a
[12:22] Speaker 7: ridiculous way of understanding the definition of that word. But
[12:26] Speaker 7: Alito and Thomas and the other people who dissented, that's
[12:29] Speaker 7: what they got hung up on. But they lost, and
[12:31] Speaker 7: so Mississippi's law stands now. To be clear, Mississippi can
[12:35] Speaker 7: change the law anytime that it wants. If Mississippi wants
[12:38] Speaker 7: to say that your ballot has to be received by
[12:40] Speaker 7: Mississippi by election day, Mississippi can change that law and
[12:44] Speaker 7: there's nothing that the Supreme Court would do to stop
[12:47] Speaker 7: them from doing that.
[12:48] Speaker 3: But as it stands now, states.
[12:49] Speaker 7: That want to allow ballots to be received some period
[12:53] Speaker 7: after they've been mailed after election day, the Supreme Court
[12:57] Speaker 7: says that is perfectly constitutional barely.
[13:00] Speaker 1: And this will course, was a major thing that Trump
[13:03] Speaker 1: wanted to get thrown out because Republicans have been yelling,
[13:06] Speaker 1: I always do you know election day? You should know
[13:09] Speaker 1: the winner that night.
[13:11] Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it's it's it's this weird.
[13:14] Speaker 7: Thing where where people is where Trump has trained his
[13:18] Speaker 7: people to to reply to rely on instant gratification. Right,
[13:23] Speaker 7: they want to know the winner of the election right now.
[13:25] Speaker 7: And the reason why they believe that is because, as
[13:28] Speaker 7: we've consistently seen, mail and voting tends to favor Democrats.
[13:32] Speaker 3: That's not because of the nature of mail and voting.
[13:35] Speaker 7: That's because of the messaging that both parties give to
[13:39] Speaker 7: their base voters. Right, Republicans tell their voters show up
[13:42] Speaker 7: an election day, and so they all do. Democrats tell
[13:45] Speaker 7: their voters, We're not going to just worry about election day,
[13:47] Speaker 7: show up early, vote by mail, vote in whatever.
[13:50] Speaker 3: Way is easiest for you.
[13:52] Speaker 7: That's the Democratics line, And so it creates what Republicans
[13:56] Speaker 7: call the red mirage right where they seem to be
[13:59] Speaker 7: winning earth as the election day votes are accounted, and
[14:02] Speaker 7: then that lead gets smaller and smaller and smaller as
[14:05] Speaker 7: you count all the votes. But my point to them,
[14:07] Speaker 7: as always, and I mean this truly in a nonpartisan way,
[14:11] Speaker 7: we should want every vote counted. If we're going to
[14:16] Speaker 7: call ourselves a democracy. It's just good government to have
[14:20] Speaker 7: people who want to vote, who are eligible to vote,
[14:24] Speaker 7: who did vote, to have those votes counted. And if
[14:27] Speaker 7: you vote before election day, that vote should be counted
[14:31] Speaker 7: regardless of when it gets to the government in the mail,
[14:34] Speaker 7: because when it gets to the government in the mail
[14:37] Speaker 7: has nothing to do with you. It's not your fault
[14:40] Speaker 7: of the post office is slow. It's not your fault
[14:43] Speaker 7: of the post office can't get its act together. It's
[14:45] Speaker 7: the government's fault. So the government should bear the burden
[14:48] Speaker 7: of getting their getting their chickens in a roost, and
[14:51] Speaker 7: quite frankly, if you want to really get rid of
[14:53] Speaker 7: the problem, have people be allowed to vote electronically. That'll
[14:56] Speaker 7: be instantaneous, if that's really what you're what you're asking.
[15:00] Speaker 7: But of course Republicans don't want to actually make it
[15:02] Speaker 7: easier for people to vote. They want to make it easier.
[15:06] Speaker 3: To throw away the votes of legitimate voters.
[15:18] Speaker 1: Egene Carroll is smiling today.
[15:22] Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes.
[15:23] Speaker 7: So another loss for Trump, and I'm sure the ketchup
[15:26] Speaker 7: bottles are flying around, is that the Supreme Court declined
[15:30] Speaker 7: to hear his appeal in the Ejing Carroll settlement, which
[15:34] Speaker 7: means there are no more appeals. Paying that woman her
[15:38] Speaker 7: money is the answer now the Supreme Court, and I'm
[15:41] Speaker 7: not surprised the Supreme Court didn't weigh in. The Supreme
[15:43] Speaker 7: Court rarely weighs in on settlements like this. Even though
[15:47] Speaker 7: Trump huffed and puffed and threatened to blow a house down,
[15:50] Speaker 7: it's not surprising that the Supreme Court didn't want anything
[15:53] Speaker 7: to do with this.
[15:55] Speaker 1: So now he has to pony up that five million dollars,
[15:57] Speaker 1: and anytime he trashes her again, her lawyers say we're
[16:01] Speaker 1: going back and hitting me up with more money.
[16:04] Speaker 7: I think he will will find some way not to pay.
[16:07] Speaker 7: I don't know how legally he's supposed to pay. But
[16:09] Speaker 7: you know, one thing I've learned about Trump is that
[16:12] Speaker 7: anytime he's accountable for anything, he seems to slip out
[16:16] Speaker 7: of it. So I'm sure you'll know you'll probably pay
[16:17] Speaker 7: her off in like Trump Stakes or something. But yes,
[16:21] Speaker 7: technically he is now on hook for five million dollars
[16:23] Speaker 7: to that woman who he dragged through the mud, who
[16:26] Speaker 7: he defamed, and who he adjudicatedly sexually assaulted.
[16:30] Speaker 1: All right, I'll like missed him. Tomorrow's last name now,
[16:34] Speaker 1: and there's one there's the one case who we're all
[16:37] Speaker 1: waiting on.
[16:38] Speaker 2: You know what that meant?
[16:39] Speaker 3: Two huge cases.
[16:40] Speaker 7: There are two of these cases coming tomorrow, well, three
[16:42] Speaker 7: huge cases coming tomorrow. One is about trans rights. I
[16:45] Speaker 7: think the court is going to be very harsh towards
[16:47] Speaker 7: trans people in that case. Another is about campaign finance.
[16:51] Speaker 7: I think the court is going to make it a
[16:52] Speaker 7: lot easier for dark money to get into our electoral system.
[16:56] Speaker 7: And then, obviously the third case is birthright citizenship. We
[16:59] Speaker 7: will see tomorrow if the Fourteenth Amendment still exists.
[17:05] Speaker 1: Knowing this court, they will get rid of it. I
[17:08] Speaker 1: just don't we can hold that hole, but I just
[17:10] Speaker 1: don't trust this extreme court.
[17:13] Speaker 3: Have me back tomorrow.
[17:14] Speaker 7: My official prediction is that birthright Citizens survives seven to two,
[17:19] Speaker 7: and I will not be surprised that I'm completely wrong,
[17:22] Speaker 7: but I.
[17:24] Speaker 3: Have to hold on to set.
[17:26] Speaker 2: All right.
[17:26] Speaker 1: I sta appreciate it. Elie Bistell, Thanks a lot, talk
[17:29] Speaker 1: to you later. All right, I want to go to
[17:31] Speaker 1: my panel. The one that really jumps out here really
[17:35] Speaker 1: deals with being able to fire anybody you want to.
[17:38] Speaker 1: I mean, you literally had these protections in that.
[17:42] Speaker 2: We're all a part of that, but it gets crazy.
[17:44] Speaker 1: Film Anderson, creator of the public Opinion Court and authors
[17:47] Speaker 1: should have been prosecuted for jay Alice KILOBATHAA communication strategy
[17:50] Speaker 1: joining us from d C Jelona Jones take a state
[17:52] Speaker 1: representative and lawyer out of Houston, John and I will
[17:56] Speaker 1: start with you. I mean, the whole point of having
[17:59] Speaker 1: protections is you don't get somebody who is impested with
[18:04] Speaker 1: somebody who is petty and who is pathetic. And this
[18:09] Speaker 1: the court says, Okay, you can do what you want
[18:11] Speaker 1: to do. But again, was good for the goose, good
[18:13] Speaker 1: for the gander?
[18:15] Speaker 9: Did you say you were going to be first rolling yeah, okay.
[18:19] Speaker 9: So on the one hand, I don't agree with the
[18:23] Speaker 9: professor totally. What I think is they literally broadened the
[18:30] Speaker 9: president's power to be able to get rid of anybody
[18:33] Speaker 9: at a federal agency, and they cracked the I guess,
[18:37] Speaker 9: the shield that protected the FTC and Lisa Cook.
[18:41] Speaker 5: And I think the Supreme Court is not stupid.
[18:44] Speaker 9: I think Republicans are not stupid, and I think that
[18:47] Speaker 9: they gave Supremes the opportunity to go back and get
[18:53] Speaker 9: rid of Lisa Cook after the mid terms because they
[18:56] Speaker 9: know that Trump has a problem as it relates to
[18:59] Speaker 9: black and they didn't need one more thing that they
[19:02] Speaker 9: could use during the mid terms because there really is
[19:05] Speaker 9: no difference in those federal agencies except for I will say,
[19:09] Speaker 9: the FCC does do policy and some of the other
[19:12] Speaker 9: ones are like enforcement. So I don't believe that saving
[19:19] Speaker 9: Lisa Cook's position is set in stone.
[19:23] Speaker 5: And the Supreme Court literally.
[19:25] Speaker 9: Has given Trump a way to come back because he said, oh,
[19:29] Speaker 9: the reason you can't fire her now is because you
[19:31] Speaker 9: didn't do it for cause out what your alleging happened before,
[19:36] Speaker 9: and this established president that it has to be for cause.
[19:39] Speaker 9: But as he just said, they just wiped out over
[19:43] Speaker 9: ninety years of precedent and expanding his powers to get
[19:50] Speaker 9: rid of executive level appointees. So I think it was
[19:58] Speaker 9: just a political thing. It was not legal, and I
[20:01] Speaker 9: think they're waiting to go just like Roland.
[20:04] Speaker 5: If you'll remember with the Jerry Mandarin.
[20:08] Speaker 9: At first they said yeah, we're gonna keep it, and
[20:10] Speaker 9: they kept it out and a Trump appointee on are
[20:13] Speaker 9: the ones who said it. And I've told you Roland
[20:16] Speaker 9: before that. Oh they needed that to get it up
[20:18] Speaker 9: to the Supreme Court. They're literally going to get rid
[20:20] Speaker 9: of voting rights, and that's exactly what they did.
[20:22] Speaker 5: So I think it's a slighter hand.
[20:24] Speaker 9: I think it was a political, political management situation, but
[20:28] Speaker 9: not the law.
[20:29] Speaker 5: And after the midterms, she's gonna be.
[20:30] Speaker 2: Young, Kelly.
[20:35] Speaker 10: I mean, that was a lot, right. It was basically
[20:38] Speaker 10: just a litany of just how the Republicans and Trump
[20:43] Speaker 10: specifically is going to steamroll.
[20:45] Speaker 5: Over every American and their rights.
[20:48] Speaker 10: But the message that I received from all of this
[20:52] Speaker 10: is that the FED gets a guardrail because the Marcus
[20:55] Speaker 10: need stability, but everybody else is up for grabs, you know, work, consumers,
[21:02] Speaker 10: civil rights enforcement gets political whiplash. Every four years because
[21:06] Speaker 10: you now are in a predicament where depending on who
[21:10] Speaker 10: is in one branch, you can you know, not just
[21:14] Speaker 10: lose your job, but.
[21:15] Speaker 5: Lose your rights.
[21:16] Speaker 2: Right.
[21:17] Speaker 10: So what does that mean for us? What does that
[21:19] Speaker 10: mean for black people? We rely on federal government a
[21:23] Speaker 10: lot more than our other racial counterparts. Why because pretty
[21:28] Speaker 10: much everybody else has failed us systemically. And if independent
[21:32] Speaker 10: agencies become presidential loyalty shops, then the question becomes who
[21:38] Speaker 10: protects people from the administration itself when the administration itself
[21:43] Speaker 10: is hostile to their rights?
[21:45] Speaker 11: Right.
[21:45] Speaker 10: So I'm curious to see how this actually plays out
[21:51] Speaker 10: outside of you know, my gut saying it's going to
[21:54] Speaker 10: just be chaos. But at the end of the day,
[21:58] Speaker 10: it just feels like they keep gutting the Constitution because
[22:01] Speaker 10: they think that, you know, the federal government has you know,
[22:05] Speaker 10: way too much power, That government has way too much power,
[22:08] Speaker 10: and the Constitution in order to survive, in order to
[22:12] Speaker 10: be effective, it doesn't require weak government. It requires accountable government.
[22:18] Speaker 10: And you can't have accountable government when everything is being
[22:21] Speaker 10: bottlenecked to one person being the President of the United States.
[22:24] Speaker 10: And I feel like they know that, but they simply
[22:27] Speaker 10: do not care because at the end of the day,
[22:29] Speaker 10: it's about the preservation of white power, white supremacy, and
[22:33] Speaker 10: just control overall.
[22:42] Speaker 2: Thelma.
[22:45] Speaker 12: The one thing that I always say about when we're
[22:48] Speaker 12: looking at this political regime is you have to pay
[22:51] Speaker 12: attention to what they don't say, because it's what they
[22:55] Speaker 12: don't say is what they're going to do. So when
[22:57] Speaker 12: looking at this ruling and how they words Sally does
[23:01] Speaker 12: in order to try to hide their real motive, plan
[23:04] Speaker 12: and opportunity and their intent, which is a part of
[23:07] Speaker 12: the Federals of evidence. If anybody wants to look that up.
[23:10] Speaker 12: They literally said that you have to follow the law.
[23:16] Speaker 12: They let Trump know you didn't follow the right procedures
[23:19] Speaker 12: the law. So we just letting you know, we're going
[23:23] Speaker 12: to give you.
[23:25] Speaker 13: An opportunity to bring this back.
[23:28] Speaker 12: And if you notice, some of the majority of some
[23:31] Speaker 12: of the cases that have been ruled on have been
[23:34] Speaker 12: on the backs of African Americans or minorities. So if
[23:37] Speaker 12: that shouldn't tell anyone anything about how this country feels
[23:41] Speaker 12: about people of color, it says that every time they
[23:44] Speaker 12: make these rulings, and to say that the president literally
[23:49] Speaker 12: can ignore the civics of this country it's saying civics
[23:55] Speaker 12: don't matter anymore. You can do what you want so
[23:58] Speaker 12: long as you bring it to the suppresse court and
[24:00] Speaker 12: you allow us to come back and dictate and give
[24:03] Speaker 12: you the green light.
[24:04] Speaker 13: But we ain't gonna show them how the light is green.
[24:06] Speaker 12: We just gonna show them that the light can be
[24:09] Speaker 12: a little bit yellow if you all do the right thing.
[24:12] Speaker 13: And that's exactly what we're seeing. And to do this.
[24:16] Speaker 12: On the backs of a black woman who actually is
[24:20] Speaker 12: doing her job, that to me says more than anything
[24:24] Speaker 12: about the security and the protections that we were afforded
[24:28] Speaker 12: no longer exists.
[24:34] Speaker 1: Well, we wait for the final release tomorrow and then
[24:37] Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. All right, going to a quick break,
[24:39] Speaker 1: we come back a surprising endorsement in the Georgia US
[24:44] Speaker 1: Senate race, say well known conservative radio talk show hosts back.
[24:48] Speaker 1: Even democrat will talk about that. Also, that ulp war
[24:52] Speaker 1: on Black America continues. Actress Garcel Bavold slams rick Megan
[24:57] Speaker 1: Kelly for her racist attack against Haitian immigrants.
[25:01] Speaker 2: We got that lot more. You're watching rollerd Bartdwunkilt on
[25:03] Speaker 2: the black Shot Network.
[25:06] Speaker 1: All right, folks, let me tell you about Chapter now.
[25:09] Speaker 1: If you're in Medicare or about to be, the system
[25:12] Speaker 1: is not set up to work for you. Too much
[25:14] Speaker 1: fine print, too many plans, and too many people making
[25:17] Speaker 1: money off.
[25:17] Speaker 2: Of your confusion. And look, we're used to this.
[25:20] Speaker 1: We're no strangers to systems that don't have our best
[25:22] Speaker 1: interest at heart. But we don't have to accept it
[25:25] Speaker 1: when it comes to Medicare. That's why I'm telling you
[25:28] Speaker 1: about Chapter. Their advisors are independent and honest. In fact,
[25:33] Speaker 1: they're the only Medicare advisors that compare every plan nationwide,
[25:39] Speaker 1: and they're focused on one thing, what works for you.
[25:45] Speaker 1: If there's a better plan out there, they'll find it.
[25:48] Speaker 2: If you're already in the right one, they'll tell you
[25:50] Speaker 2: that too. There are no games.
[25:52] Speaker 1: Just last year, people who switched with Chapter saved an
[25:56] Speaker 1: average of eleven hundred dollars. It's twenty minutes and a
[26:00] Speaker 1: real person. It's completely free. My parents actually have already
[26:04] Speaker 1: called Mom, send me a text, folks, give Chapter a
[26:08] Speaker 1: call at seven two four two sixty four eight two
[26:11] Speaker 1: eight one seven two four two sixty four A two
[26:13] Speaker 1: eight one and connect with someone you can trust.
[26:17] Speaker 2: Folks.
[26:17] Speaker 1: These are the kind of services that we need for
[26:20] Speaker 1: our audience here at Roland.
[26:22] Speaker 2: Martin on Filter and the Blackstar Network.
[26:24] Speaker 1: So call chapter right now seven two four, two sixty four,
[26:27] Speaker 1: eight to eight one. It's your boy, earthquake, you know,
[26:32] Speaker 1: giving Roland Martin something to do because you know you
[26:35] Speaker 1: don't know what to do from Texas.
[26:37] Speaker 2: Ain't his fault. Major elections in November.
[26:52] Speaker 1: Democrats, of course want to hold onto the seat in Georgia,
[26:55] Speaker 1: pickup seats in North Carolina, Maine, Iowa, Alaska, and some
[26:59] Speaker 1: other ones. Republics have endorsed someone that many other Republicans
[27:05] Speaker 1: have been highly critical. Well, conservative radio talk show hosts
[27:09] Speaker 1: Shelley Winter announced that he saying audioce to the Republican
[27:13] Speaker 1: nominee and he is supporting incumbent Senator John Osoff. Well,
[27:20] Speaker 1: of course, remember Republican Derrick Dooley, he lost to Mike
[27:25] Speaker 1: Collins and the like I say, so, folks are talking
[27:28] Speaker 1: about this, so okay, what the hell's going on? So
[27:31] Speaker 1: Shelley joins us right now. So, Shelley, what the hell
[27:36] Speaker 1: all your Republican buddies are? Are they disinviting you from
[27:40] Speaker 1: the golf course?
[27:42] Speaker 14: Not at all, good to see you, Roland, Not at all.
[27:46] Speaker 14: It's just I'm probably doing what thousands of Republican voters
[27:50] Speaker 14: are going to do in Georgia, and that's split the ticket.
[27:53] Speaker 14: It's been done before, was done with Rafael Warnock when
[27:56] Speaker 14: he won and Brian Kemp won a gubernatorial race to
[27:59] Speaker 14: Stacy Abrams. I was one of the people who did that,
[28:03] Speaker 14: and it's it's probably gonna be done again by thousands,
[28:06] Speaker 14: hundreds of thousands of Republican voters, particularly moderate Republican voters.
[28:11] Speaker 15: I was I liked Derek Dooley in that primary. He
[28:15] Speaker 15: did not come through.
[28:16] Speaker 2: I'm not.
[28:18] Speaker 14: Happy about Mike Collins. I'm not happy about the campaign
[28:22] Speaker 14: that he ran. I'm not happy about the things that
[28:24] Speaker 14: he wants to do. So I'm very happy to have
[28:27] Speaker 14: endorsed John oss Off, and then a couple of days later,
[28:30] Speaker 14: I exclusively had Rick Jackson on who's running for governor
[28:33] Speaker 14: and endorsed him on the Republican side. So what we're
[28:35] Speaker 14: doing what a lot of Republican voters will be doing
[28:37] Speaker 14: in Georgia, and that's split in the ticket.
[28:39] Speaker 2: So what's the issue with Mike Collins?
[28:42] Speaker 14: Uh, you know, just don't like I'm not for anybody
[28:47] Speaker 14: going up the Washington saying that they're going to do
[28:50] Speaker 14: whatever the sitting president and his party is doing.
[28:54] Speaker 15: That's pretty much my issue. I'm not for that, you know,
[28:58] Speaker 15: It's just it's it's not the way to do. You're
[29:00] Speaker 15: supposed to go up there and represent us as.
[29:02] Speaker 14: Georgian's not the president necessarily and whatever he wants to
[29:07] Speaker 14: do is a blank check or automatic vote.
[29:11] Speaker 11: So uh.
[29:12] Speaker 14: And I'm also one of those Republicans. I was very
[29:14] Speaker 14: unhappy with what happened to Thomas Massey. So you know,
[29:18] Speaker 14: it's it's it's a it's it's kind of me and
[29:21] Speaker 14: my own personal wake up call to the Republican Party
[29:24] Speaker 14: to come back home, uh, to be a more moderate party, uh,
[29:27] Speaker 14: and not this whack of doodle party that it's it
[29:30] Speaker 14: seems to be becoming.
[29:32] Speaker 1: So you're bothered by the fact that Collins uh announced
[29:37] Speaker 1: that he would be a Trump Seco fan and do
[29:39] Speaker 1: whatever he wants.
[29:41] Speaker 14: Pretty much, amongst some other things, which you know, tune
[29:44] Speaker 14: into my show to find out.
[29:48] Speaker 2: Have you heard from the OSAFT folks.
[29:52] Speaker 15: Yeah, they were on my show when I endorsed them.
[29:55] Speaker 14: I've had a great relationship with the Eyes as off
[29:58] Speaker 14: by the way, but I've had a great relation ship
[30:00] Speaker 14: with the os Off campaign.
[30:01] Speaker 15: I've had a great relationship with the Senate Office. We're
[30:05] Speaker 15: in contact. He's a good representative of Georgians.
[30:09] Speaker 14: He responds to the needs of Georgians, and that's why
[30:13] Speaker 14: I endorsed him. Some of the some of the issues
[30:15] Speaker 14: that he's been working on as a senator here in
[30:18] Speaker 14: Georgia of cracking down on Wall Street ownership of homes
[30:23] Speaker 14: down here that's driving up costs h and driving people
[30:26] Speaker 14: and driving out new home buyers. He's worked on some
[30:30] Speaker 14: veterans issues, and he has a great constituent services down here.
[30:35] Speaker 14: So for me, it's you know, at some point, at
[30:38] Speaker 14: some point, someone's got to be brave enough for on
[30:40] Speaker 14: either side of the aisle to say, I'm not going
[30:42] Speaker 14: to be a partisan hack. I'm not going to vote
[30:44] Speaker 14: for my side all the time, and I'm gonna I'm
[30:47] Speaker 14: going to maybe vote for the other side in particular races,
[30:51] Speaker 14: not down ballot, but in particular races. And I think
[30:54] Speaker 14: if we all did that, we might get the services
[30:56] Speaker 14: that we need from our elected officials.
[30:59] Speaker 1: Boy, you mentioned housing there in Atlanta. How is it playing.
[31:04] Speaker 1: Trump's refused to sign that law until you get the Save.
[31:07] Speaker 16: Act, right.
[31:10] Speaker 15: I'm a post. I'm mad at that. I'm upset at that.
[31:13] Speaker 15: I really am. I said it as much on my
[31:15] Speaker 15: show the other night.
[31:18] Speaker 2: All right, well, listen, it's gonna be a whole lot
[31:21] Speaker 2: seeing what happens.
[31:22] Speaker 10: Uh.
[31:22] Speaker 1: And last thing, the next time in Atlanta, I'm gonna
[31:25] Speaker 1: come by your studio so I can show you how
[31:27] Speaker 1: to do your phone right, so we ain't got them
[31:29] Speaker 1: two black bars on the side, Shelley, so we can
[31:32] Speaker 1: be right.
[31:32] Speaker 14: I'm sorry, man, you know, Hey, I apologize for that.
[31:36] Speaker 14: You know, I'm happy. You know what I'd like for
[31:38] Speaker 14: you to show me. I would like for you to
[31:40] Speaker 14: show me. I would like for you to show me
[31:42] Speaker 14: that while we're on the golf.
[31:48] Speaker 2: Tournament together, Shelly, you don't want to be on the course.
[31:50] Speaker 2: I'm gonna take Hey, I'm gonna take your money, Shelley.
[31:55] Speaker 15: I can't wait to see you, my brother.
[31:57] Speaker 2: I'm gonna take you. I'm gonna take your money. All right,
[32:00] Speaker 2: I'll be there for a whole week. All right, Shelly,
[32:03] Speaker 2: we were appreciate it. Thanks a lot to see you.
[32:05] Speaker 2: Well appreciate it. Thanks a lot.
[32:08] Speaker 1: It is going to be Obviously, we're already in the
[32:11] Speaker 1: midst of campaign season and that's going on. Over the weekend,
[32:16] Speaker 1: the Republican excuse me, Democrats had their Texas State Convention.
[32:21] Speaker 1: Of course, it was all about focusing on trying to
[32:26] Speaker 1: rally the base around their ticket. Gina Hein the host
[32:30] Speaker 1: running for governor, James State resent of James, Tula Rico
[32:33] Speaker 1: running for a United States Senate, And I saw some
[32:38] Speaker 1: chatter online there were some people who were not particularly
[32:41] Speaker 1: pleased with tel Rico's speech because he cited his family
[32:45] Speaker 1: in the Texas independence from Mexico, when in reality, you know,
[32:51] Speaker 1: the Texas Revolution.
[32:53] Speaker 2: Was over slavery. But we'll deal with that.
[32:56] Speaker 1: But one of the folks who spoke is represent July
[33:00] Speaker 1: the Jones, and she had the folks there a bit
[33:03] Speaker 1: fired up, and it was a direct challenge to all
[33:07] Speaker 1: of the candions running statewide, saying, if y'all want to win,
[33:11] Speaker 1: y'all had better focus laser like focus on black folks.
[33:17] Speaker 9: Black Texans are heartbroken after two extraordinarily inspiring qualified black women,
[33:23] Speaker 9: Vice President Kamala Harris and Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett loss. With
[33:28] Speaker 9: Congresswoman Crocketts loss.
[33:30] Speaker 17: There are no zero zilch, not a black state.
[33:36] Speaker 9: Wide candidates for the midterms. Black Texans are hurt, angry,
[33:42] Speaker 9: and discouraged. You can clap it's the truth. Ignoring that
[33:49] Speaker 9: reality won't make it disappear. Telling us we have to
[33:53] Speaker 9: vote Democrat won't motivate us to vote. But there is
[33:57] Speaker 9: good news we can earn in the black vote. Not
[34:02] Speaker 9: assume it not expected, but earn it. And let me
[34:09] Speaker 9: be clear, we don't want Texas to make the same
[34:15] Speaker 9: mistake this country made when Walter Mondale defeated Jesse Jackson.
[34:21] Speaker 9: Too many people assumed Jesse's inspired supporters would.
[34:25] Speaker 15: Simply fall in line. They assumed the energy.
[34:28] Speaker 9: And enthusiasm he created and Black communities would automatically transfer
[34:33] Speaker 9: to the Democratic nominedee nominee.
[34:35] Speaker 17: It didn't happen.
[34:37] Speaker 9: Just like today with Vice President Kamala Harris and Congresswoman
[34:40] Speaker 9: Jasmin Crokett didn't win. We can't assume the voters they
[34:44] Speaker 9: inspired will simply show up. Inspiration doesn't transfer, It must
[34:49] Speaker 9: be earned.
[34:54] Speaker 16: So the question is simple, are.
[34:57] Speaker 9: We smart enough Texas Democrats.
[34:59] Speaker 17: To learn from history? Will we invest in black Texans and.
[35:04] Speaker 9: Earn the black vote, or will we take black.
[35:07] Speaker 17: Voters for granted and wake up after election day?
[35:10] Speaker 9: We're in big m The eighteen Democratic members of the
[35:15] Speaker 9: Texas Legislative Black Caucus represent, for the most part, more
[35:19] Speaker 9: than ninety percent of Black Texans.
[35:22] Speaker 15: We know our communities and we've earned.
[35:24] Speaker 9: Their trust, but trust alone does not make people vote.
[35:29] Speaker 17: The members of TOLBC know our communities.
[35:32] Speaker 9: We know our pastors, our county and precinct chairs, our
[35:36] Speaker 9: neighborhood leaders, our organizers, radio shows, newspapers, podcasters, social media influencers,
[35:44] Speaker 9: and the black thought leaders, political consultants and posters who
[35:48] Speaker 9: actually make black voters.
[35:50] Speaker 16: Go to the polls.
[35:51] Speaker 9: Radio costs money, digital cost money, Organizing costs money.
[35:56] Speaker 17: Gotv costs money.
[35:58] Speaker 9: So if you know and you appreciate that, you need
[36:01] Speaker 9: us and you respect us, If you trust us, invest
[36:06] Speaker 9: in us, work with us, not around us, and together
[36:11] Speaker 9: we can deliver victory. There are okay, all right, there
[36:25] Speaker 9: are many ways to lose this election. There is one class,
[36:30] Speaker 9: one clear path to victory.
[36:32] Speaker 16: That path runs through Black Texas.
[36:35] Speaker 9: Not by talking at black voters, but by listening to
[36:40] Speaker 9: black voters. Not by taking black voters for granted, but
[36:44] Speaker 9: by investing in black communities. The road to turning Texas
[36:49] Speaker 9: blue runs through Black Texas. So I'll leave you with
[36:53] Speaker 9: this be bold, be brave, tell the truth, have the
[37:01] Speaker 9: courage to have the conversations that make people real uncomfortable,
[37:07] Speaker 9: and do the things that need.
[37:08] Speaker 17: To be done to get out the vote.
[37:11] Speaker 9: Because I believe if we do that black, if we
[37:15] Speaker 9: do that Texas Democrats, that Texas can.
[37:18] Speaker 15: Change, and that Black Texans.
[37:20] Speaker 17: Are ready to help lead that change.
[37:24] Speaker 9: Okay, let's invest boldly, let's organize bravely, and let's turn
[37:35] Speaker 9: Texas blue because trust and believe, on my mama, the
[37:39] Speaker 9: road to blue goes through black.
[37:41] Speaker 15: Thank you ahighty.
[37:46] Speaker 1: First off, Jilana, why do you take off your jacket, dude?
[37:53] Speaker 1: Like when you're trying to sit here, when you're trying
[37:56] Speaker 1: to sit here, like what you try like a preacher dude?
[37:59] Speaker 5: I had on a Jesse Jackson T shirt from Rainbow Push.
[38:03] Speaker 1: Well first while, well, first of all, the T shirt
[38:06] Speaker 1: was purple, right, was black, so we couldn't.
[38:07] Speaker 2: Tell what hell it was. I was like, what is
[38:09] Speaker 2: she taking her jacket off? Like for dramatic effect?
[38:12] Speaker 5: All right, so I know I wanted for people to
[38:17] Speaker 5: use example.
[38:19] Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, now we can make it out.
[38:22] Speaker 5: It's so we're about to have the Jesse effect.
[38:26] Speaker 2: For I got it. Next time? Well, white T shirt
[38:28] Speaker 2: so we can see the brother anyway.
[38:30] Speaker 5: Didn't have no white T shirts and rainbow.
[38:35] Speaker 1: I'm like, even I saw the first two times, I'm like,
[38:37] Speaker 1: why she taking her jacket off?
[38:39] Speaker 2: Why did she take her jacket off?
[38:41] Speaker 1: Anyway, I'm just right, I'm like sitting there like okay,
[38:46] Speaker 1: like dramatic effect.
[38:47] Speaker 2: All right, Anyway, after you gave your speech, what was
[38:53] Speaker 2: the dialogue? And uh and and what is your.
[38:58] Speaker 1: On the sussessment of Right now here we are at
[39:01] Speaker 1: the end of June. You've got five months left. The
[39:04] Speaker 1: primary was over in March. We knew exactly who the
[39:08] Speaker 1: US Senate candidate was going to be, tull Rico. We
[39:10] Speaker 1: knew that Hena Hossa was going to be the goodiatorial candidate.
[39:15] Speaker 1: And so now we know with a ticket in terms
[39:18] Speaker 1: of the other statewide racist attorney general, lieutenant governor, secretary
[39:21] Speaker 1: of state, those races. So okay, where is this party
[39:26] Speaker 1: when it comes to doing something and reaching out to
[39:30] Speaker 1: the group of voters that represent the largest group of
[39:33] Speaker 1: black voters of any of eligible black voters of any
[39:36] Speaker 1: state in America.
[39:39] Speaker 2: So we go.
[39:40] Speaker 9: See, I reached out to Talleriicoh in March. He has
[39:44] Speaker 9: not wanted to have that conversation with me. So you know,
[39:47] Speaker 9: you can lead a horse of water, you can't make
[39:49] Speaker 9: him drink. But I can tell you that I prayed
[39:52] Speaker 9: Roland before I gave the speech because they wanted for
[39:55] Speaker 9: me to give like a raw rise racial speech, and
[39:58] Speaker 9: I just didn't think that that needed to be said.
[40:01] Speaker 9: And I wanted to let the Texas Demoptocratic Party know
[40:05] Speaker 9: from the main stage that they got a black problem
[40:10] Speaker 9: unless they fix it. And I've learned that tell Rico
[40:13] Speaker 9: controls the Democratic Party because he is the highest he's
[40:16] Speaker 9: at the top of the ticket, and since he won't
[40:18] Speaker 9: listen and he hasn't responded, and he's ignored people, and
[40:23] Speaker 9: he's told people that he's working with black elected.
[40:26] Speaker 5: And he's not. For the most part, I just wanted
[40:30] Speaker 5: to say it.
[40:31] Speaker 9: I fully expected that black people and black delegates would
[40:37] Speaker 9: understand what really surprised. And I was prepared for white
[40:42] Speaker 9: people to be angry at me because of white fragility,
[40:46] Speaker 9: white privilege, and they always want to blame stuff on
[40:49] Speaker 9: us and want us to be Captain Sabaho for the
[40:51] Speaker 9: Democratic Party all the time.
[40:53] Speaker 5: I was seriously.
[40:55] Speaker 9: Surprised that I got all of the ovations that I
[40:58] Speaker 9: got stay up, So that was I like that. I
[41:03] Speaker 9: will say that there were some outlying white folks who
[41:05] Speaker 9: were really upset and basically said that they took that
[41:09] Speaker 9: I was saying we were going to hold a black
[41:10] Speaker 9: vote for Granted, that's not what I said. I said
[41:13] Speaker 9: there are things you can do Texas Democratic Party to
[41:15] Speaker 9: get black people to roll with you.
[41:17] Speaker 18: Now.
[41:17] Speaker 9: Do I think that tall Rico's refusal thus far to
[41:21] Speaker 9: engage black electeds and the black infrastructure has put him
[41:27] Speaker 9: at a disadvantage. Absolutely, because there's not a lot of
[41:30] Speaker 9: time to try to rally us. But we actually had
[41:35] Speaker 9: a meeting today Roland earlier today where black people, black
[41:40] Speaker 9: thought leaders, elected officials from Dallas and Houston met and
[41:44] Speaker 9: we are getting together and we're going to stand together.
[41:48] Speaker 9: And hopefully tall Rico and the Texas Democratic Party will
[41:51] Speaker 9: see that and they will listen to us. Because tall
[41:54] Speaker 9: Rico has given out money to white GOOTV organizations and infrastructure,
[42:00] Speaker 9: but in Hispanic infrastructure, but he's not giving it to
[42:03] Speaker 9: black infrastructure. And so either they'll listen or they won't. Again,
[42:10] Speaker 9: even though I knew I could lose votes, I did
[42:13] Speaker 9: it anyway, because sometimes in life. You've got to pick
[42:16] Speaker 9: a side, and I need to know if the Texas
[42:18] Speaker 9: Democratic Party is going to pick our side. I did
[42:23] Speaker 9: speak with Kendall Scudder, the chair of the Texas Democratic Party,
[42:26] Speaker 9: and he told me he would be meeting with me again.
[42:29] Speaker 9: Meetings do nothing if we don't have action into it.
[42:31] Speaker 9: But I have already told them Roland, they need to
[42:34] Speaker 9: pay for black infrastructure. They need to pay for media
[42:37] Speaker 9: with you and not just seeing it, you know, in
[42:39] Speaker 9: other people like you. I've told them that we have
[42:43] Speaker 9: people like using hit strategies with Terres Woodberry, who no
[42:48] Speaker 9: one polls black people better than him. We don't want
[42:50] Speaker 9: no white posters. They don't know how to poll us.
[42:52] Speaker 9: And for the most part, I've told them it takes
[42:55] Speaker 9: money to get the vote out right, and inspiration doesn't
[42:59] Speaker 9: get the vote out. So tall Rico needs to pay
[43:02] Speaker 9: for us to get our voters out. Only then does
[43:04] Speaker 9: tall Rico have a chance to win. If he continues
[43:07] Speaker 9: to do what he has been doing. I believe taler
[43:10] Speaker 9: Rico is going to lose.
[43:11] Speaker 5: So we'll see.
[43:13] Speaker 9: Taller Rico's campaign has not reached out to me, even
[43:16] Speaker 9: though the most talked about speech.
[43:19] Speaker 5: From the Texas Democratic Convention.
[43:20] Speaker 9: From what I see on social media and from what
[43:23] Speaker 9: I hear, is the speech that I made, because that's
[43:27] Speaker 9: the big elephant in the room. Because again Tall Rico
[43:32] Speaker 9: and everybody statewide and the Democratic Party has a black problem,
[43:35] Speaker 9: whether they acknowledge it or not, and inspiration is not
[43:38] Speaker 9: going to get us to the polls.
[43:40] Speaker 2: One of the things that.
[43:44] Speaker 1: That I have consistently been saying, and in fact, on Saturday,
[43:48] Speaker 1: I spoke the Northern Virginia Past Association that had a
[43:52] Speaker 1: town hall Freedom to Vote, and I was a keynote speaker,
[43:57] Speaker 1: and I made that point that the bottom line is
[44:00] Speaker 1: we're not interested in being sharecroppers, We're not interested in
[44:03] Speaker 1: tilling the soil, and that.
[44:05] Speaker 2: The reality is the money has to be put on
[44:07] Speaker 2: the ground.
[44:08] Speaker 19: Uh.
[44:09] Speaker 1: And even though Texas is in an expansive state, huge state,
[44:11] Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty four counties, it's a lot of
[44:14] Speaker 1: ground to cover. Everything can't be done just by putting
[44:17] Speaker 1: ads on television. And the reality is we had Ashley
[44:22] Speaker 1: at Ten on the show the other day.
[44:23] Speaker 11: It was.
[44:25] Speaker 1: An op ed she wrote in Houston Chronicle talking about
[44:30] Speaker 1: lack of black turnout and last two sanatorial races. Presidential
[44:34] Speaker 1: race as well. Insame thing when about putting resources on
[44:38] Speaker 1: the ground. And you know, at the end of the day,
[44:42] Speaker 1: what I keep telling these candidates point blank is that
[44:48] Speaker 1: this is the math.
[44:49] Speaker 2: Is the math. The further you get away as every day.
[44:54] Speaker 1: Progresses, as you move forward, that's your further way from
[45:00] Speaker 1: the civil rights movement. And as each day progresses, you're
[45:06] Speaker 1: losing baby boomers, people who who came of age or
[45:13] Speaker 1: who were in there, you know, who were eighteen nineteen twenty,
[45:17] Speaker 1: in the twenties and thirties during the nineteen sixties. And
[45:20] Speaker 1: if you look at the data, the data is very clear,
[45:24] Speaker 1: sixty five plus voters black, significant numbers identify as Democrats.
[45:31] Speaker 1: You go fifty five, sixty four still a big number.
[45:35] Speaker 1: You go below fifty four years old, that d drops drops.
[45:40] Speaker 1: And I have been saying four years that Democrats are
[45:44] Speaker 1: going to have to spend a minimum four times as
[45:47] Speaker 1: much time and four times as much money that they
[45:50] Speaker 1: normally do in order to reach black voters because black
[45:55] Speaker 1: voters are not as self identifying as we used to.
[46:01] Speaker 1: And I don't know what the hell these white Democratic
[46:04] Speaker 1: strategists are smoking or sniffing, but they don't understand the
[46:09] Speaker 1: real world in Black America, in Black Texas, but Roland
[46:13] Speaker 1: in Texas.
[46:14] Speaker 9: It's not just the strategist, it's like the white Democrats.
[46:19] Speaker 9: I had one of my white supporters be very upset.
[46:22] Speaker 9: She texted me and was very upset because she thought
[46:25] Speaker 9: I was threatening to withhold the black vote and that
[46:28] Speaker 9: a really bad man Paxton was going to win.
[46:31] Speaker 5: And I told her I'm not threatening anything.
[46:33] Speaker 9: But I also told her, you literally cannot shame us
[46:38] Speaker 9: into voting for tallar Rico if he won't even when
[46:41] Speaker 9: he needs us, come and speak with us and listen
[46:44] Speaker 9: to our issues and develop a strategy to address our issues.
[46:49] Speaker 5: And so to say, what are you going to do?
[46:51] Speaker 9: Like vote Republican? Like they don't think we have a choice.
[46:54] Speaker 9: They think that we have to vote for Telligon.
[46:56] Speaker 1: Yeah, well yeah, but what they understand is that the
[46:58] Speaker 1: couch is actually a choice. And we've seen and we've
[47:02] Speaker 1: seen it since the two since Obama ran in two
[47:05] Speaker 1: thousand and eight twenty twelve, you have seen a drop.
[47:10] Speaker 1: You have seen a drop in Black voter participation in
[47:15] Speaker 1: every election. It's right there in the numbers. I don't
[47:18] Speaker 1: know what the hell they're looking at, and it's there
[47:21] Speaker 1: in the data. I don't understand it, but you know
[47:24] Speaker 1: what I told her, Roland.
[47:25] Speaker 5: I literally said, let me be clear, I have an
[47:28] Speaker 5: option out to vote for Tall Rico.
[47:29] Speaker 9: I can go vote for who I want to vote for,
[47:31] Speaker 9: and I can literally skip that race and tell Rico
[47:33] Speaker 9: needs our votes. But also told her what I'm gonna
[47:36] Speaker 9: need for you not to do. You literally are turning
[47:39] Speaker 9: people away from the Democratic Party. You are purporting to
[47:42] Speaker 9: speak for Democrats. The second you go tell somebody you
[47:45] Speaker 9: don't basically you do dumb to know how to vote,
[47:49] Speaker 9: like you're making a bad decision. It's our fault, our
[47:52] Speaker 9: fault being black people's fault that Republicans are winning.
[47:56] Speaker 5: Blah blah blah.
[47:57] Speaker 9: I'm like, the second you move your mouth, as a
[48:00] Speaker 9: white person, in this case a white woman, to go
[48:04] Speaker 9: and complain about what black people don't know, what they
[48:06] Speaker 9: can't do, how stupid they are, why we're stuck in
[48:09] Speaker 9: the situation we're in, to a black person, I doubt
[48:13] Speaker 9: very seriously whether the black people agree with you. Some
[48:17] Speaker 9: might push back, some just won't say anything and be
[48:19] Speaker 9: like she crazy. And when you tell me I'm stupid
[48:22] Speaker 9: and you tell me to do something, I'm gonna do
[48:24] Speaker 9: just the opposite. And so I told her the second
[48:27] Speaker 9: you get ready to move your lips to tell a
[48:30] Speaker 9: black person, and how dumb black people are, I promise you,
[48:33] Speaker 9: whether they tell you or not, you are hurting yourself.
[48:37] Speaker 9: We ain't listening to you, and you're pushing people farther
[48:40] Speaker 9: and farther away from the Democratic Party so interestingly.
[48:44] Speaker 5: And I was pleasantly surprised.
[48:46] Speaker 9: That she understood, because I told her, you need to
[48:48] Speaker 9: listen to what I'm saying and not be defensive, because
[48:52] Speaker 9: I agree with you, pax it is terrible under if
[48:55] Speaker 9: Paxon is a senator, things will be really bad.
[48:57] Speaker 5: But I told her, at the end of the day.
[48:59] Speaker 9: Regardles said, whether the Democrats are an officer, whether Republicans
[49:02] Speaker 9: are in office, black people.
[49:04] Speaker 5: Always get the worst end of everything.
[49:06] Speaker 9: And even when there's prosperity, black people always receive the
[49:10] Speaker 9: least amount of prosperity.
[49:11] Speaker 5: So for us it doesn't matter. And it's like we
[49:14] Speaker 5: damn if we do, if we damn if we don't.
[49:16] Speaker 9: So if the point is to tell us to put
[49:20] Speaker 9: us down and not actually listen to us, like you're
[49:23] Speaker 9: the boss and you know what's best for us, I
[49:25] Speaker 9: e white man's burden.
[49:27] Speaker 5: Then you're pushing us away. We're not going to vote
[49:29] Speaker 5: for you.
[49:30] Speaker 9: And if you can either receive that and try to
[49:32] Speaker 9: learn from it and try to learn from the black
[49:35] Speaker 9: perspective or not, but you better start listening to us
[49:40] Speaker 9: because the guarantee votes said we used to give y'all.
[49:42] Speaker 5: We just not give y'all the moment. And it ain't
[49:45] Speaker 5: nothing you.
[49:45] Speaker 9: Can do to make us think it's our fault that
[49:47] Speaker 9: we in a situation we're in, because the truth is,
[49:49] Speaker 9: white progressive women put Trump in office over their own
[49:53] Speaker 9: Hillary Clinton, which started all this.
[49:55] Speaker 5: So you really need to be talking to white progressive women.
[49:58] Speaker 2: Uh, Thelma, Again, numbers do not lie.
[50:02] Speaker 1: And when it's very simple, why did Republicans do as
[50:08] Speaker 1: well in the last election with Latino voters? That was
[50:11] Speaker 1: a massive investment reaching those voters. That was an early investment.
[50:17] Speaker 1: See I'll never forget the Republicans were running ads on
[50:26] Speaker 1: black radio in key markets.
[50:29] Speaker 2: Detroit was one of them.
[50:31] Speaker 1: That included attacks on Biden Harris with regards to trans rights. Now,
[50:39] Speaker 1: whether you support or don't, it doesn't matter. Understand the strategy.
[50:47] Speaker 1: They were appealing to black voters who are church coins voters.
[50:52] Speaker 1: That was in March, and I remember sending a text
[50:55] Speaker 1: message to leaders in the campaign and their deal was, man,
[51:03] Speaker 1: it's not showing up in our research. And I was like,
[51:09] Speaker 1: say what, So then you go to April, May, June,
[51:17] Speaker 1: and then you go to the fall. They took that
[51:20] Speaker 1: strategy and they then went Remember they had they included
[51:25] Speaker 1: the breakfast club clip in that ad it I was in.
[51:29] Speaker 1: I was in multiple battleground states. Those trans commercials were
[51:35] Speaker 1: running in every football game I want. I think one
[51:41] Speaker 1: of the states I cannot remember. I literally saw the
[51:45] Speaker 1: commercial six to eight times during halftime alone, and I
[51:51] Speaker 1: was going, if y'all think this is not going to
[51:53] Speaker 1: have an impact, y'all are crazy. So what is my
[51:56] Speaker 1: point here? The point here is this here, this is
[51:59] Speaker 1: the data racial gaption turnout. They are increasing. Okay, we've
[52:03] Speaker 1: talked about it. Go to MyPad, we talked about it.
[52:06] Speaker 1: You see it right here. You saw where that blue
[52:09] Speaker 1: line or Africa that blue line or African Americans you
[52:12] Speaker 1: see right there in two thousand and eight, twenty twelve,
[52:15] Speaker 1: how that number went high twenty twelve, it was higher
[52:19] Speaker 1: than white voules in the black line. Then you saw
[52:22] Speaker 1: it dip, but over the next four years. Then it
[52:25] Speaker 1: went up in twenty twenty because of COVID because they
[52:28] Speaker 1: expanded access to the ballot. Then you see it dip
[52:32] Speaker 1: right there in twenty twenty four. I keep telling these
[52:36] Speaker 1: Democrats ball don't lie, and if y'all.
[52:41] Speaker 2: Do not pay attention to what is going on, and
[52:44] Speaker 2: if you do not make.
[52:46] Speaker 1: Substantive investments over a longer period of time, you are
[52:51] Speaker 1: not going to get black turnout. And this reality, Tallarico
[52:57] Speaker 1: and any Democrat in you cannot win without black people
[53:01] Speaker 1: in Texas or Louisiana or Mississippi, Georgia, North Carolina, Florida.
[53:11] Speaker 1: I'm I'm like, hello, the road to blue goes through Thelma.
[53:21] Speaker 13: You're absolutely correct.
[53:23] Speaker 12: And the one thing that I've continued to say about
[53:25] Speaker 12: Tall Rico is that he doesn't acknowledge the black vote,
[53:29] Speaker 12: and he only acknowledges the black vote when he needs it.
[53:33] Speaker 12: And they forget that Texas black voat is not like
[53:36] Speaker 12: Georgia's black vote. And what we are seeing now is
[53:41] Speaker 12: the black vote in Texas that the Dems are tired,
[53:45] Speaker 12: They're tired of being abused, They're tired of being taken
[53:49] Speaker 12: advantage for because of their vote and a power in
[53:53] Speaker 12: a black vote. They lay down, They don't do anything
[53:57] Speaker 12: to protect the black vote. They don't do anything to
[54:00] Speaker 12: protect the black businesses, which is why we are looking
[54:05] Speaker 12: at the gaps in how they pay black political influencers
[54:10] Speaker 12: and black media. But they go and spend millions of
[54:13] Speaker 12: dollars on the whites and the Latinas and then they
[54:17] Speaker 12: expect to come and say, oh, you gotta do this.
[54:21] Speaker 12: Black people are tired of tell y'all telling us what
[54:23] Speaker 12: we got to do. We're going to show you what
[54:25] Speaker 12: we will do since y'all want to play with us,
[54:27] Speaker 12: And that's exactly what Taal Rico is experiencing. What we're
[54:32] Speaker 12: seeing now is tall Rico's past when he made these
[54:39] Speaker 12: misrepresentations on two black candidates and he refused to speak
[54:44] Speaker 12: on black issues.
[54:46] Speaker 13: But you want the black vote. You don't want to
[54:48] Speaker 13: spend money with the black vote.
[54:52] Speaker 12: But you want to spend money to attack Jasmine Crockett
[54:56] Speaker 12: because y'all can't read, or y'all lack the fundamental those
[55:00] Speaker 12: of actually reading with purpose. But that's not a Black problem.
[55:04] Speaker 12: That is why he's struggling to reach the black vote,
[55:08] Speaker 12: and he's running out of time. He's running out of time,
[55:11] Speaker 12: And one example I would lead people with, because this
[55:14] Speaker 12: was a recent election, the reason the mayor in New
[55:18] Speaker 12: Orleans won against two black candidates and one of the
[55:23] Speaker 12: blackest cities in this country is because she knew how
[55:29] Speaker 12: to energize the black vote. She enriched her campaign with
[55:34] Speaker 12: the most qualified black people or people of color in
[55:37] Speaker 12: New Orleans, and.
[55:38] Speaker 17: She won big.
[55:40] Speaker 12: So if anybody should be taking a page out of
[55:43] Speaker 12: how to reach the black vote, he needs to be
[55:46] Speaker 12: contacting her and also utilizing the black representatives and political
[55:52] Speaker 12: strategists here to understand, you are running out of time,
[55:56] Speaker 12: and time is not on. We don't care, because we're
[55:59] Speaker 12: going to do what we need to do. But we're
[56:01] Speaker 12: gonna stop with y'all using our vote to try to
[56:04] Speaker 12: demonize us, because we are putting y'all on a clock
[56:08] Speaker 12: and making y'all do y'all work.
[56:12] Speaker 2: Kelly the.
[56:15] Speaker 1: And again this is I'm just going based upon what
[56:17] Speaker 1: I've selling the show previously and what I've said to
[56:19] Speaker 1: candids directly. Every day that you wait is a day
[56:26] Speaker 1: that you've lost that you can't get back. And the
[56:29] Speaker 1: reality is from the moment, from the moment the primary ended,
[56:36] Speaker 1: it should have been to me, and this is what
[56:39] Speaker 1: and I'm not talking about just Texas. I'm talking about
[56:43] Speaker 1: all of these places where democrats need to win, and
[56:47] Speaker 1: every day it has to be how are we hitting
[56:50] Speaker 1: the pavement, What groups do we touching, how are we
[56:52] Speaker 1: reaching them? What are the constituents? What specifically? How are
[56:56] Speaker 1: we communicating with black men? How are we communicating with
[56:59] Speaker 1: black businesses? How are we communicating with black evangelicals? How
[57:04] Speaker 1: are we communicating with black activists? Social groups? There is
[57:09] Speaker 1: no there there has never been, but there is no monolith.
[57:13] Speaker 1: And what people have to understand now that black voters
[57:18] Speaker 1: are just as fragmented as other groups.
[57:22] Speaker 2: I will never forget.
[57:24] Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, y'all find you probably can't
[57:27] Speaker 1: find it right now, but go through our stuff from Georgia.
[57:31] Speaker 1: And that was I forgot which time we were in
[57:33] Speaker 1: is This was in twenty twenty two and it may
[57:36] Speaker 1: have been Jonesborough, I cannot remember. There was a black
[57:39] Speaker 1: woman who owned a cafe, Kelly and it was Herschel
[57:45] Speaker 1: Walker versus center Rafao Warnock, and everybody kept talking about
[57:50] Speaker 1: reproductive rights. And this sister said, listen, I'm a woman,
[57:57] Speaker 1: I care about reproductive rights.
[58:00] Speaker 2: I am not having a baby. My baby is this cafe.
[58:05] Speaker 1: And when I'm listening, I'm listening to Walker and or
[58:08] Speaker 1: Not talk about taxes, talk about supporting small businesses.
[58:16] Speaker 2: And that was a perfect example.
[58:18] Speaker 1: If you talk to typical campaign they'll be like, oh,
[58:21] Speaker 1: black female, black maternal health, reproductive rights. No, she was
[58:26] Speaker 1: a business owner in that right there, you've heard black
[58:30] Speaker 1: folks say, yo, don't do not come talking to us
[58:34] Speaker 1: about social programs. Come talk to us about entrepreneurship. Because
[58:40] Speaker 1: this generation was the favorite phrase secure in the bag.
[58:43] Speaker 1: And so again, if you have campaigns and you do
[58:47] Speaker 1: not have black people, African Americans who are tied into
[58:53] Speaker 1: black people, who know what black people are saying.
[58:55] Speaker 2: And to Jelana's point, if you're.
[58:57] Speaker 1: Utilizing the public opinion, the public research of opinion research
[59:02] Speaker 1: of Terrence Whoodberry, you're using the polling data of Cornell Belcher,
[59:07] Speaker 1: who trained Terrence Whilberry. If you've got a wrong lester,
[59:10] Speaker 1: now you have an understanding of what specifically black folks
[59:14] Speaker 1: are saying.
[59:15] Speaker 2: And that's not hard to do, but you got to
[59:20] Speaker 2: do it.
[59:22] Speaker 10: Not only do you have to do it, but the
[59:25] Speaker 10: fact of the matter is, in order to do it,
[59:27] Speaker 10: it costs money, and it costs time. And what I
[59:32] Speaker 10: have noticed is that on both sides of the aisle.
[59:35] Speaker 10: But we're talking about Democrats right now. They are what
[59:39] Speaker 10: appears to be intentionally lazy when it comes to investing
[59:45] Speaker 10: in black voting, black galvanization to vote, etc. Because here's
[59:52] Speaker 10: the thing, Black voters are also sophisticated. Like you said,
[59:55] Speaker 10: we are not a monolith. Black conservatives are sophisticated. Black
[59:58] Speaker 10: moderates are sophisticated Black progressives. And we need to stop
[1:00:03] Speaker 10: treating black political behavior like it's just this one size
[1:00:08] Speaker 10: fit all to the point where you only see it
[1:00:11] Speaker 10: as loyalty or betrayal. Right, it is strategy, it is survival.
[1:00:18] Speaker 10: And this is where politics get real because we don't
[1:00:21] Speaker 10: live in partisan press releases, we don't live in talking points, right.
[1:00:27] Speaker 10: Our politics live inside grocery bills, hospital bills, school systems,
[1:00:31] Speaker 10: small businesses, like you said, sometimes even family drama.
[1:00:36] Speaker 2: Right.
[1:00:36] Speaker 10: So, even going back to your previous guest, who is
[1:00:40] Speaker 10: the conservative talk show host, he basically said, I'm not
[1:00:44] Speaker 10: agreeing with you on everything, but I trust you more
[1:00:47] Speaker 10: than I trust the person who's supposed to be aligned
[1:00:49] Speaker 10: with my ideologies the most. Right, the game is who
[1:00:53] Speaker 10: is the least likely to play in my face, who
[1:00:57] Speaker 10: is the least likely to take me for granted? And
[1:01:02] Speaker 10: right now the answer is neither party. And that's why
[1:01:07] Speaker 10: Democrats right now, especially in Texas, where it has been
[1:01:11] Speaker 10: we're about to turn blue for the longest freaking time,
[1:01:15] Speaker 10: right they haven't been able. I'm sorry we are about
[1:01:21] Speaker 10: to you know, I'm sorry I heard something in my ear,
[1:01:26] Speaker 10: but it is Texans have been about to turn blue
[1:01:30] Speaker 10: for the longest time.
[1:01:31] Speaker 13: And the reason why they.
[1:01:33] Speaker 10: Haven't crossed that threshold into Blueville, so to speak, is
[1:01:38] Speaker 10: because they haven't invested in black communities, in people of
[1:01:41] Speaker 10: color to the extent that the event that they invest
[1:01:45] Speaker 10: in white voting, and let's face it, white voters are
[1:01:49] Speaker 10: also on the decline, just.
[1:01:51] Speaker 5: Like our boomers are.
[1:01:53] Speaker 10: So you're gonna have to put up or shut up eventually.
[1:01:56] Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean, listen, I know what we do.
[1:02:00] Speaker 1: In fact, on Saturday, when we broadcast from the Virtiga
[1:02:05] Speaker 1: Dims Blue Commonwealth Gala, when I was interviewing you know,
[1:02:10] Speaker 1: Mark Warner, and I didn't didn't know he was gonna
[1:02:14] Speaker 1: do this. And again, when you talk to people who
[1:02:17] Speaker 1: understand in terms of you know what we do and
[1:02:20] Speaker 1: how we speak to a group that nobody else does.
[1:02:23] Speaker 1: And I got I got no problem saying it. There's
[1:02:26] Speaker 1: nobody else black in the digital space who does what
[1:02:29] Speaker 1: we do. Nobody and not including big names, y'all know,
[1:02:35] Speaker 1: there's nobody.
[1:02:36] Speaker 16: That's just a fact.
[1:02:38] Speaker 1: Nobody else is five days a week, nobody else is
[1:02:41] Speaker 1: centering African Americans exclusively.
[1:02:43] Speaker 2: This is what Senatah Warner had to say.
[1:02:46] Speaker 11: One minute of this yeah, to just say to the
[1:02:48] Speaker 11: audience what Roland does in terms of presenting, you know,
[1:02:53] Speaker 11: not just a black point of view in America, but
[1:02:56] Speaker 11: the fact that he is willing put himself out to
[1:03:00] Speaker 11: hold all of us accountable in a way that communicates
[1:03:06] Speaker 11: and says it in a much.
[1:03:07] Speaker 3: More real way.
[1:03:10] Speaker 11: Than most people in journalism is important because at this
[1:03:13] Speaker 11: moment in time, people are giving up because it feels
[1:03:17] Speaker 11: like the deck is so stacked against him, and this
[1:03:20] Speaker 11: young man, Roland Martin still calls us straight and keeps
[1:03:24] Speaker 11: us in the fight.
[1:03:25] Speaker 2: But now.
[1:03:28] Speaker 1: I can guarantee you when we start talking, when these
[1:03:32] Speaker 1: folks start spending advertising money, and I'll say this before
[1:03:36] Speaker 1: because the simple sigmon's out there are really a stupid
[1:03:39] Speaker 1: It amazes me you're going to and let me just
[1:03:43] Speaker 1: be real clip everybody who's watching, y'all need to understand.
[1:03:47] Speaker 1: And Jolanta knows this, Kelly knows this, Delma knows this.
[1:03:51] Speaker 1: You're likely going to see once all the receipts are
[1:03:56] Speaker 1: added up, efforts of ten billion dollars to twelve billion
[1:04:06] Speaker 1: dollars spent on this year's midterm and for the simple
[1:04:13] Speaker 1: Simon Negroes, white Meatia is going to clean up.
[1:04:18] Speaker 2: I just want you to understand.
[1:04:20] Speaker 1: Every major media company that is a public company, they
[1:04:28] Speaker 1: have been saying.
[1:04:29] Speaker 2: They said in their first quarterly.
[1:04:31] Speaker 1: Earnings report, which was in April, because the first quarter
[1:04:35] Speaker 1: was Jenny February March, they sit in their second quarter
[1:04:39] Speaker 1: quarterly earnings report, and they're going to sit in that
[1:04:41] Speaker 1: third quarterly earners.
[1:04:42] Speaker 2: Report the percentage of political advertising that they expect to get.
[1:04:50] Speaker 1: And Urban One, of course Black owned, Alfred Niggins, Kathy Hughes, Well,
[1:04:57] Speaker 1: let me tell you, Comcast, Disney, Sinclair, next Star.
[1:05:03] Speaker 2: All of those public and traded companies.
[1:05:05] Speaker 1: They're all are banking on getting billions of dollars in
[1:05:11] Speaker 1: political advertising. That's national networks, local TV stations, radio stations, iHeart,
[1:05:20] Speaker 1: Cumulus odyssee all those people and here we are, as
[1:05:25] Speaker 1: black on media, we should expect to be receiving advertising
[1:05:32] Speaker 1: as well. But when I listen to some black people
[1:05:36] Speaker 1: like you shouldn't be taking advertising? How on the hell
[1:05:39] Speaker 1: do you think media run? What you think media runs on?
[1:05:43] Speaker 1: That is literally the fuel and the oxygen of media.
[1:05:49] Speaker 2: But again, what I need.
[1:05:52] Speaker 1: Our people to do is be far more sophisticated and Jalanda,
[1:05:57] Speaker 1: the problem that we have is that we have we
[1:06:01] Speaker 1: got a couple of things.
[1:06:02] Speaker 2: We got a lot of.
[1:06:03] Speaker 1: Black politicians who are afraid to challenge the National Democratic Party,
[1:06:10] Speaker 1: the State Democratic Party, or their county Democratic Party. Or
[1:06:15] Speaker 1: we have black politicians who want to make excuses and
[1:06:20] Speaker 1: are willing to deliver or they claim to deliver black
[1:06:24] Speaker 1: voters and deliver their endorsement and they haven't gotten anything
[1:06:30] Speaker 1: for it, And that to me is dumb as hell
[1:06:35] Speaker 1: if you do not maximize a return on the investment.
[1:06:40] Speaker 5: I agree.
[1:06:40] Speaker 9: But or there are black politicians who think who think
[1:06:44] Speaker 9: white folks ice is colder, including white media is colder.
[1:06:48] Speaker 5: So you have that group of people as well. But
[1:06:52] Speaker 5: what I don't I mean in our.
[1:06:54] Speaker 9: Meeting today, like people don't understand, I'll give an example
[1:06:58] Speaker 9: in twenty twenty two and I I was running and
[1:07:01] Speaker 9: it was the first time I was actually able to
[1:07:03] Speaker 9: raise money right, and so I was able and learned
[1:07:07] Speaker 9: about things that I had no idea existed. For example,
[1:07:11] Speaker 9: on the morning of election day, my campaign manager, Dallas
[1:07:18] Speaker 9: Jones called me and said, Joe, I need for you
[1:07:20] Speaker 9: to sign a check for forty.
[1:07:21] Speaker 5: Six thousand dollars.
[1:07:22] Speaker 9: This is an election day, about eleven o'clock in the morning,
[1:07:26] Speaker 9: post closed a seven.
[1:07:27] Speaker 5: I was like, forty six thousand dollars for what.
[1:07:30] Speaker 9: He was like, Joe, there are people who we know
[1:07:32] Speaker 9: love you, and they have not voted yet, and we
[1:07:35] Speaker 9: only have until seven o'clock, so we have got to
[1:07:38] Speaker 9: touch those voters. We don't have a lot of time,
[1:07:40] Speaker 9: and there is a company that can touch them.
[1:07:43] Speaker 5: You have the money. Joe signed the damn check. I
[1:07:47] Speaker 5: signed the damn check.
[1:07:48] Speaker 2: Right.
[1:07:49] Speaker 5: So I think that people.
[1:07:50] Speaker 9: Presume that just because somebody wants to vote for you,
[1:07:53] Speaker 9: if they like you, they're going to come vote.
[1:07:54] Speaker 5: People have lives that are and they're struggling in those lives.
[1:07:58] Speaker 9: And so even with you Roland, for example, when you
[1:08:01] Speaker 9: came here and you delivered, you came here for the
[1:08:04] Speaker 9: super Bowl.
[1:08:06] Speaker 5: You actually had a whole team that costs money. You
[1:08:11] Speaker 5: had to film from a place or take whatever it's called.
[1:08:14] Speaker 9: That costs money. And for whatever reason, they don't appreciate
[1:08:19] Speaker 9: what you do. And I will tell you this. When
[1:08:21] Speaker 9: I started being on your show for CNN and MSNBC
[1:08:25] Speaker 9: and all that stuff, let me be glad to have
[1:08:27] Speaker 9: more black people come to me and say I saw
[1:08:29] Speaker 9: you on Roland.
[1:08:30] Speaker 5: I love me some Roland. And I also say I
[1:08:33] Speaker 5: know for a fact Roland, and I don't think people
[1:08:35] Speaker 5: appreciate it.
[1:08:36] Speaker 2: This.
[1:08:36] Speaker 9: If people pay money for something, they're invested in it.
[1:08:40] Speaker 9: People pay you for you to be able to stay
[1:08:42] Speaker 9: on Those are people who actually swear by everything that
[1:08:47] Speaker 9: you put on because.
[1:08:48] Speaker 5: They appreciate it.
[1:08:50] Speaker 9: And I say that to say this, if people need
[1:08:53] Speaker 9: black people to get elected, why in the hell would
[1:08:57] Speaker 9: you not go to people that people pay money to
[1:09:01] Speaker 9: get them to stay on TV. And so I just
[1:09:04] Speaker 9: think that we are colonialized. We think white folks ice
[1:09:08] Speaker 9: is colder, We don't value our stuff, and they think
[1:09:10] Speaker 9: if we do offer the same thing as white people,
[1:09:12] Speaker 9: that the value of our.
[1:09:13] Speaker 5: Stuff is less, it costs less. And it's a problem.
[1:09:18] Speaker 9: And n lesson until Telrico and everybody else with white
[1:09:22] Speaker 9: media starts getting black posters, black people like you, black
[1:09:27] Speaker 9: social media influencers, black thought leaders, until they start listening
[1:09:32] Speaker 9: to us, because we have our ears to the ground.
[1:09:34] Speaker 9: I'm telling you they're going to lose, and this election
[1:09:38] Speaker 9: is going to show those people better than we.
[1:09:40] Speaker 5: Can tell them.
[1:09:41] Speaker 2: Yep.
[1:09:41] Speaker 9: And so I absolutely appreciate Beto raised money hand over foot.
[1:09:47] Speaker 5: He lost.
[1:09:48] Speaker 9: Black people were inspired by him, and he ran twhite
[1:09:51] Speaker 9: and everybody holds him as a standard. But isn't the
[1:09:54] Speaker 9: standard supposed to be if you want he hadn't won,
[1:09:58] Speaker 9: He hadn't won, and they can in Tall Rico. Okay,
[1:10:02] Speaker 9: you ain't won yet, and trust and believe come November,
[1:10:04] Speaker 9: if you don't win, you're gonna be an afterthought as well.
[1:10:07] Speaker 5: You raise a whole bunch of money.
[1:10:08] Speaker 9: And what I'm saying is I believe that Tall Rico
[1:10:12] Speaker 9: and the state wide candidates, but mostly Tall Rico, should
[1:10:15] Speaker 9: give to elected officials who know how to get our
[1:10:18] Speaker 9: voters out to vote for us. Because my voters come
[1:10:20] Speaker 9: out to vote for me, I can probably get them
[1:10:22] Speaker 9: to vote for tallar Rico. He needs to do it
[1:10:24] Speaker 9: because the people who are donating money. They're not giving
[1:10:27] Speaker 9: it to us. Everybody's giving the money to Tall Rico.
[1:10:31] Speaker 9: And if you can go write a check for ten
[1:10:32] Speaker 9: million dollars to a white GOTV group that I ain't
[1:10:35] Speaker 9: never heard of and they and they damn sure ain't
[1:10:37] Speaker 9: heard of.
[1:10:37] Speaker 5: Me, then how they gonna get my voters out?
[1:10:40] Speaker 9: And I will also tell you the black people that
[1:10:42] Speaker 9: he has in his campaign, like one of the black
[1:10:45] Speaker 9: people as in Houston, I don't know the man.
[1:10:47] Speaker 5: The man didn't know me.
[1:10:48] Speaker 9: So how are you responsible for getting out voters when
[1:10:51] Speaker 9: you literally don't know or haven't contacted the black elected
[1:10:54] Speaker 9: officials in the area. You responsible for getting black vote out.
[1:10:58] Speaker 9: It's the craziest shit I ever heard. But again, I've
[1:11:02] Speaker 9: been trying to talk to tell Rico since March and
[1:11:04] Speaker 9: he's been avoiding me since March. So and I had
[1:11:06] Speaker 9: another black woman tell me, Julanda, if he's scared to
[1:11:09] Speaker 9: talk to you, I mean he can't stay. He ain't
[1:11:12] Speaker 9: gonna be able to stand and heat being a senator.
[1:11:14] Speaker 9: And I hadn't thought of that, And I said, you
[1:11:16] Speaker 9: know what, you're right if you are too whatever to
[1:11:20] Speaker 9: have a tough conversation about what the real issues are
[1:11:23] Speaker 9: so that you can get the real black voters out
[1:11:25] Speaker 9: to vote for you. Then that's a problem because you
[1:11:28] Speaker 9: don't know what's best for us. And you telling your
[1:11:30] Speaker 9: little stories about how your mother suffered and it was
[1:11:35] Speaker 9: a single parent and all this stuff. You still white,
[1:11:37] Speaker 9: You got white privilege. There are things that you've got
[1:11:39] Speaker 9: that you can never understand. So you need to come
[1:11:42] Speaker 9: and speak with us. And that's white people everywhere. So
[1:11:45] Speaker 9: right now, right now, let me be clear talking about
[1:11:49] Speaker 9: these young people. They don't understand the civil rights, but
[1:11:52] Speaker 9: have them done.
[1:11:52] Speaker 2: You real quick.
[1:11:54] Speaker 1: I got to end this conversation because I got going

[1:12:50] Speaker 1: about Chapter. Their advisors are independent and honest. In fact,
[1:12:55] Speaker 1: they're the only Medicare advisors that compare every planationwide, and
[1:13:01] Speaker 1: they're focused on one thing, what works for you. If

[1:14:06] Speaker 10: It's me Sherry Sheepra and you know what you watch
[1:14:08] Speaker 10: Roland Martin an unfiltered.
[1:14:40] Speaker 1: Our black Mississippi workers are suing a farmer who paid
[1:14:43] Speaker 1: higher wages and favored white South African guest workers. The
[1:14:47] Speaker 1: black workers, Michael Anthony Nash, Jimmy Shaw, Vinnie Cason, Grant Lewis,
[1:14:53] Speaker 1: and Charleston Harris, alleged a pattern of racial and citizenship
[1:14:58] Speaker 1: based discrimination and wage theft. The Mississippi Center for Justice
[1:15:02] Speaker 1: and the Southern Migrant Legal Services fout a federal lawsuit
[1:15:05] Speaker 1: in Greenville, Mississippi, against Gregory Carr, farm owner and manager
[1:15:09] Speaker 1: of car Farms, headquartered in Schlatter, a small town in
[1:15:14] Speaker 1: Lafloria County, Mississippi. It's a producer of rice and soybeans.
[1:15:19] Speaker 1: Greg Shale of Southern Migrant Legal Services joins us right
[1:15:22] Speaker 1: now and Greg, glad to have you here. And so
[1:15:25] Speaker 1: are these white South African farmers? Were they the folks
[1:15:28] Speaker 1: that Donald Trump let into the country.
[1:15:33] Speaker 20: Well, they're among them. The Mississippi Delta has been using
[1:15:38] Speaker 20: They're now up to about four thousand South Africans they
[1:15:43] Speaker 20: bring into help with the harvest, and they've been displacing
[1:15:46] Speaker 20: the local black population that has been there for many years.
[1:15:50] Speaker 20: And so what's happened is they've, even though they're required,
[1:15:53] Speaker 20: they're paying the South Africans higher and they've refused to
[1:15:56] Speaker 20: raise the wages to the local workers. The local workers
[1:16:00] Speaker 20: are gradually being pushed out, even though it costs the
[1:16:03] Speaker 20: farmer a little more money. But this is not unique
[1:16:06] Speaker 20: to this one case. This is about the seventh case
[1:16:08] Speaker 20: we filed on behalf of black workers in the Delta
[1:16:12] Speaker 20: who've been paid less and offered less work than the
[1:16:17] Speaker 20: South Africans.
[1:16:17] Speaker 5: That are important.
[1:16:19] Speaker 2: How long has this been going on.
[1:16:22] Speaker 20: It's been going on for about ten years, and nobody
[1:16:26] Speaker 20: stumbled on it. And part of the problem was the
[1:16:28] Speaker 20: local workers didn't realize they were entitled the same pay
[1:16:30] Speaker 20: as the South Africans. They didn't know anything about this program.
[1:16:33] Speaker 20: All of a sudden there were the South African showing up,
[1:16:35] Speaker 20: and they just figured, well, Okay, they're paying them whatever
[1:16:40] Speaker 20: they're paying them, and they'll keep paying us close to
[1:16:42] Speaker 20: the minimum wage. And that's what happens. And thanks to
[1:16:46] Speaker 20: the Mississippi Center for Justice, they stumbled on this and
[1:16:50] Speaker 20: then what they started asking questions and it turned out
[1:16:53] Speaker 20: there were literally dozens of farms doing this. There was
[1:16:56] Speaker 20: such an outcry that it got on into his beach
[1:17:00] Speaker 20: in the New York Times on the first page, and
[1:17:02] Speaker 20: the Secretary of Labor himself came down, held in a
[1:17:05] Speaker 20: meeting in Indianola, Mississippi, with the workers and he sat down. Subsequently,
[1:17:10] Speaker 20: the Assistant Secretary of the Wage an Hour Administrator and
[1:17:14] Speaker 20: a strike force to go around the delta and inform
[1:17:17] Speaker 20: these farmers you cannot keep doing this.
[1:17:20] Speaker 16: Now.
[1:17:20] Speaker 20: This last farmer we're suing, mister Carr is sort of
[1:17:23] Speaker 20: a holover. We think most of the farms are now
[1:17:26] Speaker 20: paying the South Africans and the Americans the same rate.
[1:17:30] Speaker 20: But what has happened to make things more complicated is
[1:17:34] Speaker 20: the Trump administration lowered the wages for all farm workers
[1:17:40] Speaker 20: in October of last year, and it's a drop of
[1:17:43] Speaker 20: about twenty five to thirty percent. So the workers last
[1:17:46] Speaker 20: year in Mississippi that worked on these farms were guaranteed
[1:17:49] Speaker 20: fourteen dollars in eighty seven cents an hour. This year
[1:17:52] Speaker 20: that are guaranteed under nine dollars. So even in the
[1:17:56] Speaker 20: South African is getting nine dollars too. But this was
[1:17:59] Speaker 20: a gift to the farmer. According to the government. This
[1:18:01] Speaker 20: is going to result in a This is going to
[1:18:04] Speaker 20: result in an additional billion dollars with a B savings
[1:18:09] Speaker 20: every year for farmers across the country by paying these
[1:18:12] Speaker 20: lower wages. So that was purely a gift from the
[1:18:16] Speaker 20: Trump administration. Wow, so that makes it even more attractive
[1:18:20] Speaker 20: to bring in the foreign workers. The form worker doesn't
[1:18:22] Speaker 20: have a choice. The South African he's got it tough
[1:18:25] Speaker 20: at home. He'll take the nine dollars. That local worker says, well,
[1:18:28] Speaker 20: fooy on that nine dollars. I know I can do
[1:18:31] Speaker 20: better than that, and I'm out of here, which just
[1:18:34] Speaker 20: hastens the departure of domestic workers, US workers, local black
[1:18:40] Speaker 20: workers from these.
[1:18:40] Speaker 2: Jobs questions from the panel. Kelly, First, sure, So.
[1:18:49] Speaker 10: Bottom line for me is that you can't say there
[1:18:52] Speaker 10: are no American workers willing to do the work while
[1:18:54] Speaker 10: black American workers.
[1:18:55] Speaker 5: Are standing right there doing the work and being underpaid
[1:18:59] Speaker 5: for it.
[1:19:00] Speaker 10: But on the other hand, this shouldn't be turned into
[1:19:03] Speaker 10: an anti immigrant story either. So how do we reconcile
[1:19:06] Speaker 10: those two things and what are next steps?
[1:19:10] Speaker 20: Well, the law is pretty clear, and much of the country,
[1:19:12] Speaker 20: the truth is they're just or not a lot of
[1:19:14] Speaker 20: Americans willing to do the hard labor. The Mississippi dot's
[1:19:17] Speaker 20: a little different because there just aren't a lot of
[1:19:19] Speaker 20: job opportunities there. So many of these people have grown
[1:19:22] Speaker 20: up on the farm and that's all that there's available.
[1:19:25] Speaker 20: So the law is very clear. You have to hire
[1:19:27] Speaker 20: any American applies first. You got to hire him first.
[1:19:31] Speaker 20: And if you do hire a foreign worker because you
[1:19:34] Speaker 20: didn't get enough Americans, you have to pay the domestic
[1:19:38] Speaker 20: worker at least as much as you're paying the foreign worker.
[1:19:40] Speaker 20: The law's clear, it's been there for fifty years. It's
[1:19:43] Speaker 20: no change. But what has happened is this got introduced
[1:19:46] Speaker 20: into Mississippi and nobody checked the Mississippi Labor Department didn't check,
[1:19:52] Speaker 20: the Mississippi State government didn't check, and frankly those of
[1:19:55] Speaker 20: us who are advocates didn't check until the Mississippi Center
[1:19:58] Speaker 20: for Justice sort of stumbled on this, and then they
[1:20:02] Speaker 20: started asking around for more and more people and they
[1:20:04] Speaker 20: found out, Gee, this is widespread, which is frightening. But
[1:20:10] Speaker 20: now we found other problems out there as well. The
[1:20:13] Speaker 20: local workers also. Now this particular farm, in order to
[1:20:17] Speaker 20: save further money, is treating everybody as an independent contract
[1:20:20] Speaker 20: In other words, you get a ten ninety nine rather
[1:20:22] Speaker 20: than a W two. Now that sounds pretty good. You
[1:20:24] Speaker 20: get a little more money in your paycheck. What it
[1:20:26] Speaker 20: does mean, though, is that you're going to owe a
[1:20:28] Speaker 20: bunch of self employment taxes at the end of the year,
[1:20:31] Speaker 20: and you're not going to get any credit for Social
[1:20:33] Speaker 20: Security and you won't be covered by the workers compensation
[1:20:36] Speaker 20: insurance because you're not an employee. And so that's been
[1:20:39] Speaker 20: another thing we found that apparently, according to the farm
[1:20:43] Speaker 20: in their accountant, that's common out there. The local workers
[1:20:46] Speaker 20: simply are treated as the independent contractors. And so when
[1:20:49] Speaker 20: they get old enough and either disable or reach old
[1:20:52] Speaker 20: age for Social Security, they find little or no money
[1:20:55] Speaker 20: in their accounts and they either get little Social Security
[1:20:59] Speaker 20: or nothing at all because nobody's ever paid it in
[1:21:01] Speaker 20: on it. It's a different world than the Delta. It's
[1:21:04] Speaker 20: about we used to see this elsewhere in the country
[1:21:08] Speaker 20: forty fifty years ago. The Delta seems to be stuck
[1:21:11] Speaker 20: in a time work.
[1:21:13] Speaker 13: Thelma good Evening one question that I had.
[1:21:19] Speaker 12: I'm glad you spoke on it because a lot of
[1:21:21] Speaker 12: people don't understand how and can you explain how were
[1:21:25] Speaker 12: they able to get away with independent and making Black
[1:21:30] Speaker 12: Americans work under an independent contractor status but the immigrants
[1:21:35] Speaker 12: were being classified as employees. That to me makes no sense.
[1:21:40] Speaker 12: But I understand the legalities of how and why they
[1:21:44] Speaker 12: would do it too. African Americans opposed to following the law.
[1:21:48] Speaker 12: So can you break down how they were able to
[1:21:51] Speaker 12: get away with this independent contractor status on American forum
[1:21:55] Speaker 12: workers versus the immigrants.
[1:22:00] Speaker 20: Nobody checks on them. Nothing changes. And if you recall,
[1:22:03] Speaker 20: Mississippi was famous for what they did with remember Brett
[1:22:06] Speaker 20: Favre and the volleyball court they built at University's Southern
[1:22:10] Speaker 20: Mississippi for his daughter with money as that were supposed
[1:22:13] Speaker 20: to help poor families. Many of them in the Delta.
[1:22:16] Speaker 20: Mississippi has not been at the vanguard of protecting the
[1:22:20] Speaker 20: poor citizens in it's within his waters. And so again
[1:22:24] Speaker 20: nobody said anything. And the local workers, you know, it's
[1:22:29] Speaker 20: they don't know. You see this also as reflected in
[1:22:32] Speaker 20: unemployment compensation. If you're an independent contractor, there's no unemployment
[1:22:36] Speaker 20: compensation for you. And if you look at the data
[1:22:39] Speaker 20: the counties in the Delta, the participation in unemployment compensation
[1:22:43] Speaker 20: is extremely low. Of course, that's even with the tiny
[1:22:46] Speaker 20: benefits in Mississippi. The most you can get if you're unemployed,
[1:22:51] Speaker 20: even if you're Donald Trump's salary, the most you can
[1:22:54] Speaker 20: get in a week for unemployment compensations two hundred and
[1:22:57] Speaker 20: thirty five dollars. But even that money is being denied
[1:23:00] Speaker 20: these local workers because they're not on the payroll. They're
[1:23:03] Speaker 20: independent contractors. So when the work ends at the end
[1:23:06] Speaker 20: of the harvest and those winter months come, there's no money.
[1:23:11] Speaker 20: There's no unemployment compensation.
[1:23:13] Speaker 9: Jolonda, the first thing I want to do is thank
[1:23:17] Speaker 9: you for suing right, because the courthouse makes people do things.
[1:23:21] Speaker 5: But what I see is that they would rather pay.
[1:23:25] Speaker 9: White immigrants from South Africa more money than paying black people,
[1:23:30] Speaker 9: So that's just like anti black ism.
[1:23:32] Speaker 5: They can't stand us.
[1:23:33] Speaker 9: And then once they got called on it, now they're
[1:23:36] Speaker 9: willing to even pay the white people list because they
[1:23:39] Speaker 9: don't want to pay black people.
[1:23:40] Speaker 5: So my question to you is what do you think
[1:23:44] Speaker 5: the outcome.
[1:23:45] Speaker 9: The ultimate outcome of this lawsuit is going to be
[1:23:48] Speaker 9: and do you think that it is going to be
[1:23:51] Speaker 9: helpful to black workers in Mississippi.
[1:23:55] Speaker 20: Well, we've filed this, I mentioned another. First of all,
[1:23:58] Speaker 20: you should know that it's even worse. Not only do
[1:24:01] Speaker 20: they pay the South Africans more, they pay them an
[1:24:04] Speaker 20: average of nearly one thousand dollars each worker from South
[1:24:07] Speaker 20: Africa to pay for their expenses to come over here.
[1:24:10] Speaker 20: So they're paying that money on top of everything else.
[1:24:13] Speaker 20: But the question is will we be successful and how
[1:24:16] Speaker 20: can we change this? The other cases, like most cases
[1:24:20] Speaker 20: in court, have settled, some of them for a good
[1:24:22] Speaker 20: amount of money because they realize they're wrong. And we're fortunate.
[1:24:26] Speaker 20: We're going to trial in Greenville, Mississippi. Greenville is one
[1:24:31] Speaker 20: of those rare jurisdictions in the South where the jury
[1:24:35] Speaker 20: pool is going to be probably majority black, and we've
[1:24:38] Speaker 20: asked for a jury trial and we think that we
[1:24:40] Speaker 20: won't have to. It won't be hard for us to
[1:24:43] Speaker 20: explain to the jury what's going on here that we
[1:24:47] Speaker 20: think they'll figure that out. There are so many examples,
[1:24:51] Speaker 20: and one of our claims is a racial discrimination claim.
[1:24:54] Speaker 20: One of the things that was striking was they pay
[1:24:57] Speaker 20: the white workers also. There are a few local white workers.
[1:25:00] Speaker 20: They pay them as independent contractors too, but they do
[1:25:03] Speaker 20: something very special. When you're an independent contractor, you have
[1:25:06] Speaker 20: to pay roughly twelve percent self employment taxes to make
[1:25:10] Speaker 20: up for the fact that there's no Social Security, no
[1:25:12] Speaker 20: fight at being paid on you. So you pay that
[1:25:14] Speaker 20: tax because you're an invented contractor. For the white workers,
[1:25:19] Speaker 20: the farm paid. The white worker would come to the
[1:25:22] Speaker 20: farm and say I owed six thousand dollars in self
[1:25:25] Speaker 20: employment taxes, and the farm would write them in check.
[1:25:28] Speaker 20: Didn't do that for any of the black workers. Now,
[1:25:30] Speaker 20: some of them, you know, the IRS hasn't caught up
[1:25:32] Speaker 20: with them yet. A few of them they have and
[1:25:34] Speaker 20: they've gotten letters in the rsay where's the money, And
[1:25:37] Speaker 20: they say, well, I don't know. I don't think I
[1:25:40] Speaker 20: was an invent contractor. These are these these are not
[1:25:43] Speaker 20: invent contracts. They work for a wage every day, they're
[1:25:46] Speaker 20: given direction of just like any other employee. This was
[1:25:49] Speaker 20: just a way for the farm. The farm said, oh
[1:25:51] Speaker 20: it's We asked the farmer, well, why do you do
[1:25:53] Speaker 20: it this way? Well, thirty years ago I talked to
[1:25:56] Speaker 20: my workers and said, would you rather be paid without
[1:26:00] Speaker 20: any taxes coming out or not? And they said we'd
[1:26:03] Speaker 20: rather have no taxes. And so since it was okay
[1:26:05] Speaker 20: thirty years ago, I figured it's okay today, and again
[1:26:09] Speaker 20: that consequences of Social Security. What we're seeing in the
[1:26:12] Speaker 20: Delta is all these older retired former farm workers from
[1:26:19] Speaker 20: the Delta are either getting tiny, tiny Social Security checks
[1:26:24] Speaker 20: or not any checks at all because they don't have
[1:26:26] Speaker 20: enough credit. And if you look at their earnings record,
[1:26:28] Speaker 20: they've worked fifty years in their lives. But if you
[1:26:31] Speaker 20: look at their earnings records with the government, only a
[1:26:34] Speaker 20: small part that shows up because much of the work
[1:26:36] Speaker 20: was done off was as done as independent contractors, off
[1:26:40] Speaker 20: the books, as far as the government's concerned.
[1:26:43] Speaker 1: All right, Greg Shell, keep us a breast of what
[1:26:45] Speaker 1: happens next to this case. We'll do all right, Dan Folks,
[1:26:51] Speaker 1: I got to go to a break. When we come back,
[1:26:54] Speaker 1: we'll have left some of their work helines, and of
[1:26:57] Speaker 1: course we will.
[1:26:59] Speaker 2: Talk about ourselo who let's just.
[1:27:01] Speaker 1: Say shit, a few words for Big and Kelly and
[1:27:04] Speaker 1: her racist attack on Haitian America. You're watching Rolling Mark
[1:27:08] Speaker 1: non filcis on the Black study Medicare or about to be.
[1:27:17] Speaker 1: The system is not set up to work for you.
[1:27:20] Speaker 1: Too much fine print, too many plans, and too many
[1:27:22] Speaker 1: people making money.
[1:27:23] Speaker 2: Off of your confusion. And look, we're used to this.
[1:27:26] Speaker 1: We're no strangers to systems that don't have our best
[1:27:28] Speaker 1: interests at heart. But we don't have to accept it
[1:27:31] Speaker 1: when it comes to Medicare. That's why I'm telling you
[1:27:34] Speaker 1: about Chapter. Their advisors are independent and honest. In fact,
[1:27:39] Speaker 1: they're the only Medicare advisors that compare every plan nationwide,
[1:27:45] Speaker 1: and they're focused on one thing, what works for you.
[1:27:50] Speaker 1: If there's a better plan out there, they'll find it.
[1:27:53] Speaker 1: If you're already in the right one, they'll tell you
[1:27:56] Speaker 1: that too.
[1:27:57] Speaker 2: There are no games.
[1:27:58] Speaker 1: Just last year, people who with Chapter shaved an average
[1:28:02] Speaker 1: of eleven hundred dollars. It's twenty minutes and a real person.
[1:28:06] Speaker 1: It's completely free. My parents actually have already called Mom,

[1:28:59] Speaker 21: Saint Louis As Metropolitan police say, a ten year old
[1:29:02] Speaker 21: boy is being charged with first degree murder following a
[1:29:06] Speaker 21: shooting that killed a seven month old girl in North
[1:29:09] Speaker 21: Saint Louis City. Police believed the boy shot Kimanie Parker
[1:29:13] Speaker 21: just after four o'clock pm on Friday, June twenty sixth.
[1:29:17] Speaker 4: She was taken to the hospital where she died.
[1:29:20] Speaker 21: According to Missouri law, juveniles must be twelve years or
[1:29:23] Speaker 21: older to stand trial as an adult, so he will
[1:29:27] Speaker 21: likely be charged as a juvenile. Police also arrested the
[1:29:30] Speaker 21: baby's father, nineteen year old Cameron Pondwell. He was charged
[1:29:34] Speaker 21: with second degree murder and first degree child in dangerment
[1:29:38] Speaker 21: resulting in the death of a child, and two counts
[1:29:41] Speaker 21: of endangering the welfare of a child by creating a
[1:29:44] Speaker 21: substantial risk. Investigators said that they learned Ponnell allegedly kept
[1:29:49] Speaker 21: the gun underneath a mattress in the home, and the
[1:29:52] Speaker 21: ten year old boy was aware of where the gun
[1:29:55] Speaker 21: was stored. And two women and a toddler were found
[1:30:00] Speaker 21: dead Saturday night at a Jackson, Mississippi home. Jackson Police
[1:30:04] Speaker 21: responded to a call around ten o'clock PM, and upon
[1:30:07] Speaker 21: arrival at the scene, officers located the three victims, described
[1:30:11] Speaker 21: as a twenty six year old woman, a thirty.
[1:30:14] Speaker 4: Year old woman, and a two year old toddler.
[1:30:17] Speaker 21: Jackson Police officials say all three victims had been shot
[1:30:20] Speaker 21: multiple times and died from their injuries. A vehicle, a
[1:30:24] Speaker 21: red twenty twenty Mitsubishi belonging to one of the victims,
[1:30:28] Speaker 21: which had been taken during the crime, had been located
[1:30:32] Speaker 21: at Manhattan Park in North Jackson on Sunday afternoon. Police
[1:30:36] Speaker 21: are processing it for evidence. Investigators are still working to
[1:30:40] Speaker 21: both identify and then locate suspects in the case.

[1:34:34] Speaker 1: status ruling that said Trump could send three hundred and
[1:34:37] Speaker 1: fifty thousand Haitians and six.
[1:34:38] Speaker 2: Thousand Syrians back. This was the despicable rant of Megan Kelly.
[1:34:47] Speaker 22: And look, this has been going on for over a
[1:34:49] Speaker 22: dozen years.
[1:34:50] Speaker 8: Go home, get out.
[1:34:53] Speaker 4: We know our countries better than yours.
[1:34:55] Speaker 22: That's because we filled it with our work ethic and
[1:34:58] Speaker 22: our culture and our value. You being here only to
[1:35:01] Speaker 22: lose it for us, those who built it and live it.
[1:35:05] Speaker 22: And half of you people, more than half you won't assimilate.
[1:35:08] Speaker 22: We don't want you, We don't care if you're offended,
[1:35:11] Speaker 22: Get out, go home, go back to fucking Haiti. Sorry,
[1:35:15] Speaker 22: I'm just I'm thinking about our friends in Ohio who've
[1:35:18] Speaker 22: been dealing with these tps Haitians for years now, who
[1:35:21] Speaker 22: are drunk driving all over their towns and killing people.
[1:35:24] Speaker 4: This is the whole cats and dogs.
[1:35:26] Speaker 22: Thing like they don't want to live like Americans live.
[1:35:32] Speaker 4: And this was supposed to be a temporary.
[1:35:36] Speaker 22: It was supposed to be temporary help, and it's turned
[1:35:39] Speaker 22: into another back doorway of allowing someone permanent residency here,
[1:35:45] Speaker 22: and they take advantage of all of our public services and.
[1:35:50] Speaker 1: Just line just spewing absolute bullshit. Well actress Garce Buva,
[1:35:56] Speaker 1: who is Haitian American, she clapped back against.
[1:35:59] Speaker 19: Megan Hi Sakmassin, saying, silent in the face of racism
[1:36:08] Speaker 19: and hate is something.
[1:36:10] Speaker 8: That I refuse to do. This past week, the lies
[1:36:14] Speaker 8: that have.
[1:36:14] Speaker 19: Been spewed about the Haitian community, about my community have
[1:36:20] Speaker 19: been disgusting, deeply hurtful, and dangerous. Now this is not
[1:36:27] Speaker 19: about politics, it's about humanity. We must condemn this kind
[1:36:33] Speaker 19: of hatred, this kind.
[1:36:35] Speaker 8: Of racism for anyone.
[1:36:40] Speaker 19: I have always been a proud Haitian immigrant coming to America,
[1:36:46] Speaker 19: working hard. That's what we do, coming from gratitude, and
[1:36:53] Speaker 19: I will not sit by and let people talk about
[1:36:57] Speaker 19: my community in any way they want for.
[1:37:00] Speaker 8: Their own gain.
[1:37:03] Speaker 19: The power we have is the power to vote, to
[1:37:06] Speaker 19: register and vote and stop this madness, this chaos.
[1:37:12] Speaker 4: A sien.
[1:37:16] Speaker 8: Se vote kick our vote power. I am not going
[1:37:30] Speaker 8: to sit by. It's just not okay to treat people
[1:37:33] Speaker 8: like this.
[1:37:34] Speaker 19: We're supposed to be uplifting each other, from.
[1:37:38] Speaker 8: Our leaders to our neighbors. This has got to stop
[1:37:44] Speaker 8: and we have to do something about it. We can't
[1:37:46] Speaker 8: just sit by. Thanks for listening. Register to vote. We
[1:37:56] Speaker 8: have fifty something days. Go out and vote. We need
[1:38:00] Speaker 8: to stop this chaos.
[1:38:04] Speaker 1: You know, I'm glad that she said what she had
[1:38:07] Speaker 1: to say, uh, Jelanda, because when you have these bigots
[1:38:11] Speaker 1: like Megan Kelly significant uh you know, viewership on the
[1:38:16] Speaker 1: YouTube and following as well, they should be challenged corrected.
[1:38:21] Speaker 2: Because what she said were lies.
[1:38:23] Speaker 1: The Republican governor of Ohio made it clear that they
[1:38:26] Speaker 1: want those Haitian workers there because they're doing jobs and
[1:38:29] Speaker 1: white folks in Springfield are not doing and that city
[1:38:32] Speaker 1: was dying and so it's just but all of this
[1:38:36] Speaker 1: is just showing exposing exactly who the biggots are every
[1:38:40] Speaker 1: time they open their mouth.
[1:38:44] Speaker 9: But I mean, one of the things that confused the
[1:38:45] Speaker 9: hell out of me was what she said, like, leave
[1:38:50] Speaker 9: those of us who built this who white people.
[1:38:53] Speaker 5: White people ain't building this country, like for.
[1:38:55] Speaker 9: Sure, and Trump has just made it okay for them
[1:39:01] Speaker 9: to demonize any country that's black, and they can say
[1:39:05] Speaker 9: anything and people believe it. And so, you know, one
[1:39:08] Speaker 9: of the things that frustrates me even about us is
[1:39:13] Speaker 9: we are surprised when white people white, Right, I'm not
[1:39:17] Speaker 9: surprised when they do that.
[1:39:19] Speaker 5: And I think that she did.
[1:39:21] Speaker 9: What we all have to do is every single solitary
[1:39:24] Speaker 9: time that they come at us that anti blackism, that
[1:39:29] Speaker 9: we need to call it out, just like Gabrielle or
[1:39:33] Speaker 9: Garciel did. And look, I don't speak the language. I
[1:39:37] Speaker 9: think it's French that she speaks. We needle Creole, okay,
[1:39:41] Speaker 9: well so creole. And my point is that I think
[1:39:46] Speaker 9: some people don't even know if they know Haitians. Right,
[1:39:47] Speaker 9: I didn't know that she was of Haitian descent. And
[1:39:50] Speaker 9: I think that when people who are the target of
[1:39:54] Speaker 9: this anti blackism speak out, some people don't know they
[1:39:57] Speaker 9: know us, And so I just think it's very very importan.
[1:40:00] Speaker 9: But they're racist white folks. Is open season on anybody
[1:40:05] Speaker 9: black is Haitians. Now, it's gonna be somebody else later.
[1:40:08] Speaker 9: So we don't check her with Haitians. The next thing,
[1:40:10] Speaker 9: you know, they're gonna become a fuss.
[1:40:14] Speaker 1: Listen, I'm always about checking them Kelly, any time of
[1:40:18] Speaker 1: the day.
[1:40:21] Speaker 10: Anytime of the day, I mean, you know, and part
[1:40:24] Speaker 10: of my French no part pun intended, but Megan Kelly
[1:40:27] Speaker 10: has always been a bitch.
[1:40:29] Speaker 8: She always has.
[1:40:31] Speaker 13: And the fact that nobody loves.
[1:40:33] Speaker 10: Her enough to tell her that side ponytails, you know,
[1:40:35] Speaker 10: should have stayed in the early two thousands, really late nineties.
[1:40:39] Speaker 10: I mean, no one in your camp loves you enough
[1:40:43] Speaker 10: to tell you and guide you out of your stupidity.
[1:40:48] Speaker 10: I'm not taking anything that she has as as facts,
[1:40:54] Speaker 10: as golden, as something to be respected or.
[1:41:01] Speaker 8: You know, revered in any way.
[1:41:05] Speaker 10: I truly forgot that she existed before this clip, because
[1:41:10] Speaker 10: again I do my best to ignore ignorance, and she
[1:41:13] Speaker 10: is just the talking head for bitch made behavior as
[1:41:18] Speaker 10: far as I'm concerned. So you know, I do my
[1:41:25] Speaker 10: best to keep this to keep my world, you know,
[1:41:30] Speaker 10: insulated from the caucacity of today, and it is unfortunate
[1:41:37] Speaker 10: that she is the talking head for such things.
[1:41:41] Speaker 8: Again, we know what she said is not fact.
[1:41:45] Speaker 10: We know what she said comes from a place rooted
[1:41:48] Speaker 10: in hatred and frankly jealousy. Because God forbid her ancestors
[1:41:52] Speaker 10: were able to overcome and triumph over the adversity that
[1:41:58] Speaker 10: Haitian Americans have have done. If anything, she perpetuated the
[1:42:02] Speaker 10: vitriol that Haitian Americans had to endure. I would be
[1:42:07] Speaker 10: embarrassed by that too. I would be embarrassed and wear
[1:42:10] Speaker 10: a ponytail like that too if I came from stock
[1:42:13] Speaker 10: like that. So again, you know, I don't listen to
[1:42:16] Speaker 10: bitches like I just don't bela.
[1:42:23] Speaker 13: Listen.
[1:42:24] Speaker 12: Meghan Kelly should know exactly how I feel about her.
[1:42:28] Speaker 12: And it's not surprising that she don't even know her
[1:42:31] Speaker 12: own history. Like the history we know about Meghan is
[1:42:36] Speaker 12: she made her millions off putting an end to laying
[1:42:39] Speaker 12: on her back, something that white women are used to doing,
[1:42:43] Speaker 12: which is how they have attained certain levels of success.
[1:42:47] Speaker 13: That's their identity, that's their DNA.
[1:42:50] Speaker 2: Well she was, well, she was a part of you
[1:42:53] Speaker 2: had the whole issue at Fox Dos. There were nowhere.
[1:42:58] Speaker 2: I don't recall any story saying she's up with Roger Els.
[1:43:01] Speaker 13: But no, that's not what I say.
[1:43:03] Speaker 12: Yeah, that's not what I said when I said she's
[1:43:05] Speaker 12: made she put an end to laying on her back.
[1:43:10] Speaker 2: Okay, So.
[1:43:13] Speaker 12: That's just the reality of what we deal with with
[1:43:17] Speaker 12: these type of white women in corporate America. They don't
[1:43:21] Speaker 12: have a understanding of what this country really stands for.
[1:43:28] Speaker 12: African Americans built this country on our back, through our
[1:43:32] Speaker 12: generations of labor, through the sacrifices that our ancestors made
[1:43:36] Speaker 12: through pain, our resilience and survival mode.
[1:43:41] Speaker 13: Now, the one thing that she continues to do is.
[1:43:45] Speaker 12: Try to rob what history says about this country to
[1:43:49] Speaker 12: make it fit her narrative. So when she wakes up
[1:43:52] Speaker 12: in the morning, it's not surprising to me that she
[1:43:55] Speaker 12: doesn't like herself. She lives inside of a person that
[1:43:58] Speaker 12: hates everyone, when the reality is she hates her own self,
[1:44:03] Speaker 12: because no one that loves themselves and then pours into
[1:44:06] Speaker 12: themselves will talk and speak such nastiness about other human
[1:44:11] Speaker 12: beings and a country taking rights away that we worked
[1:44:17] Speaker 12: hard to maintain and receive. It doesn't change the fact
[1:44:25] Speaker 12: that she says these things. The only thing I would
[1:44:28] Speaker 12: say to individual like that is when it's your time
[1:44:33] Speaker 12: to go and stand next to those two immigrants and
[1:44:37] Speaker 12: you have to stand next to them in the eyes
[1:44:38] Speaker 12: of God, let's see what his response is. Will it
[1:44:42] Speaker 12: be job well done or your job was never finished.
[1:44:48] Speaker 1: Oh it's gonna be none of that for Megan Kelly.
[1:44:50] Speaker 1: And so she deserves to get called out any time.
[1:44:53] Speaker 1: And again that was an absolute just shameful to despicable
[1:44:59] Speaker 1: racial attack that she issued. And so yeah, yeah, she
[1:45:05] Speaker 1: can go to hell. And frankly, Meghan, you could take
[1:45:08] Speaker 1: your ass back to where your people came from, because
[1:45:10] Speaker 1: the people who only can claim this land are Native Americans.
[1:45:14] Speaker 2: So why don't you go to fuck back?
[1:45:17] Speaker 1: Just saying all right, y'all today, Bishop William Barbara's parents
[1:45:20] Speaker 1: of the Brief for People's campaign continue. There are more
[1:45:23] Speaker 1: mondays here in Washington, DC. Bishop Barbara had been traveling
[1:45:26] Speaker 1: in Germany for the past week, speaking to Turchers from all.
[1:45:30] Speaker 2: Across the country. This was bishop, excuse me, this was
[1:45:37] Speaker 2: right here. Folks. Allan O'Neil Jackson who was speaking today,
[1:45:41] Speaker 2: check this out.
[1:45:44] Speaker 23: Thank you doctor Brown, Bishop Barbara, I come today, my
[1:45:50] Speaker 23: brothers and sisters, standing with you in the public square,
[1:45:58] Speaker 23: this public pool pit, with a heavy heart. Over and
[1:46:03] Speaker 23: over in our sacred texts, we are reminded, when the
[1:46:10] Speaker 23: stranger sojourns with you and your land, you shall do him.
[1:46:16] Speaker 16: You shall not do him wrong.
[1:46:19] Speaker 23: You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as
[1:46:23] Speaker 23: the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself,
[1:46:30] Speaker 23: for you are one strangers in the land of Egypt.
[1:46:35] Speaker 23: Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner. And
[1:46:40] Speaker 23: the words of Jesus, I was hungry, and you gave
[1:46:44] Speaker 23: me something to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave
[1:46:49] Speaker 23: me something to drink. I was a stranger and you
[1:46:53] Speaker 23: invited me in. And yet we have this immoral, shameful,
[1:47:01] Speaker 23: unjustifiable decision from the Supreme Court to end the temporary
[1:47:06] Speaker 23: protective status for more than a million of our Haitian
[1:47:11] Speaker 23: and Syrian brothers and sisters who have fled war and disaster.
[1:47:17] Speaker 16: And now told they must be on the next plane back.
[1:47:22] Speaker 23: With this immoral, shameful and unjustifiable decision, asylum seekers can
[1:47:30] Speaker 23: now be turned away at the door, sending the most
[1:47:34] Speaker 23: vulnerable back toward the danger.
[1:47:36] Speaker 16: They ran from.
[1:47:38] Speaker 23: This is an immoral, shameful, unjustifiable decision. It dawned and
[1:47:45] Speaker 23: plotted and celebrated by this administration. And so I come
[1:47:51] Speaker 23: today to this public square, this public pulpit, with a
[1:47:57] Speaker 23: heavy heart. A few years ago with Bishop barber and
[1:48:03] Speaker 23: others in Springfille, Ohio with the Haitian community when they
[1:48:08] Speaker 23: had been dehumanized and demonized and otherised and accused of
[1:48:14] Speaker 23: eating dogs and cats by the current occupant in the
[1:48:19] Speaker 23: White House. But we went to Springfield, Ohio, and community
[1:48:25] Speaker 23: leader after community leader, pastor after pastor, neighbor after neighbor
[1:48:32] Speaker 23: stood up and said, that's a lie. That's a bowl
[1:48:36] Speaker 23: faced ball face lie. These people have not hurt us
[1:48:42] Speaker 23: or harmed us.
[1:48:43] Speaker 16: They have helped us and given us hope. They are
[1:48:47] Speaker 16: our neighbors.
[1:48:48] Speaker 23: We had a city in decline, a city losing population,
[1:48:53] Speaker 23: a dying community before they showed up. Haitians now make
[1:48:58] Speaker 23: up twenty five percent of the population in Springsville, Ohio.
[1:49:03] Speaker 23: At least ten businesses opened by Haitian immigrants have made
[1:49:07] Speaker 23: significant contributions to the local community eight thousand new jobs
[1:49:13] Speaker 23: recently created. Data shows that TPS holders contribute over twenty
[1:49:21] Speaker 23: nine billion dollars to the American economy, and they pay
[1:49:26] Speaker 23: almost eight billion dollars in federal payroll.
[1:49:32] Speaker 16: State and local taxes.
[1:49:34] Speaker 23: But now with this immoral, shameful, unjustifiable decision, families will
[1:49:43] Speaker 23: be separated. Local economies will take a hit. People will
[1:49:48] Speaker 23: be forced back to countries in the grip of violence, instability,
[1:49:54] Speaker 23: and humanitarian collapse. Shameful, shameful, shame. The human cost will
[1:50:02] Speaker 23: be felt all across this nation.
[1:50:05] Speaker 16: These people are not hurting us. They are helping us.
[1:50:10] Speaker 16: They are saving us, They are enlarging our community.
[1:50:14] Speaker 23: They are our neighbors, they are our sisters and brothers. Yes,
[1:50:20] Speaker 23: here we are with this immoral, shameful, unjustifiable.
[1:50:26] Speaker 16: Decision, and our hearts are heavy.
[1:50:30] Speaker 24: But we've come to this place with new resolve, with
[1:50:35] Speaker 24: moral outrage, with righteous indignation, with a new determination.
[1:50:42] Speaker 16: With made up minds.
[1:50:44] Speaker 23: The moral arc of the universe is long, and it
[1:50:49] Speaker 23: bends towards justice. Might not happen with this Supreme Court,
[1:50:54] Speaker 23: or this Congress or this administration, but we know that someday.
[1:51:00] Speaker 16: In the end, right will win. Truth, push to earth will.
[1:51:05] Speaker 23: Rise again, the wicked will see some troubling, and the
[1:51:09] Speaker 23: weary will be at rest. We begin do us for night,
[1:51:14] Speaker 23: but joy comes in the morning. And so if you
[1:51:18] Speaker 23: have a hard way walking with courage, if you've got
[1:51:22] Speaker 23: a mean problem, work with it until you solve it.
[1:51:25] Speaker 23: If they try to restrict our right.
[1:51:27] Speaker 16: To vote, we don't just vote anyhow. If they rule against.
[1:51:32] Speaker 23: Us, we gonna keep on working. If they try to
[1:51:35] Speaker 23: silence us, We're gonna keep on speaking. If you gotta

[1:59:30] Speaker 2: this little windscreen is right here, y'all.
[1:59:32] Speaker 1: Sit, y'all see, I ain't even open the damn packet
[1:59:36] Speaker 1: because I don't wear the ship indoors.
[1:59:43] Speaker 2: I'm good. Do you feel.
[1:59:47] Speaker 5: It was on the chest? It was stuck up in there?
[1:59:50] Speaker 13: Are you feeling?
[1:59:51] Speaker 1: Because I can't stand seeing that damn furry ass windscreen
[1:59:54] Speaker 1: when people are.
[1:59:55] Speaker 2: Talking in doors?
[1:59:56] Speaker 5: Why do you text me that roland?
[1:59:58] Speaker 2: What's not me? Yes? I did?
[2:00:00] Speaker 5: You didn't text me take that fuzzy thing off?
[2:00:02] Speaker 1: You did not know because the problem is this here, Okay,
[2:00:05] Speaker 1: then you would have had this big old black block
[2:00:08] Speaker 1: sitting in the middle. And then now what I could
[2:00:10] Speaker 1: have told you, because your voice projects that you have
[2:00:13] Speaker 1: a little magnet on the back of your microphone, and
[2:00:17] Speaker 1: so as opposed to having that black block block here,
[2:00:20] Speaker 1: and you can see you can actually lower it utilizing
[2:00:23] Speaker 1: your magnet and then we wouldn't even be seen and
[2:00:27] Speaker 1: you still could be heard.
[2:00:30] Speaker 5: So thank you. I need to know that.
[2:00:32] Speaker 9: You know, everybody ain't social social medialy, Sandy, I just
[2:00:36] Speaker 9: made that up.
[2:00:36] Speaker 5: You ain't.
[2:00:37] Speaker 8: You ain't know.
[2:00:37] Speaker 2: This little bit of square thing is a magnet on
[2:00:39] Speaker 2: the back of your microphone.
[2:00:40] Speaker 5: Yes I do, but never mind rowing I'm not gonna
[2:00:44] Speaker 5: have you.
[2:00:45] Speaker 1: Yeah, so just like just like up here, like up here,
[2:00:49] Speaker 1: if you don't want to clip it on, you could
[2:00:52] Speaker 1: just use the magnet and it'll actually stay on because
[2:00:55] Speaker 1: it has the magnet. See right there, just you know,
[2:00:58] Speaker 1: seem to see. It's amazing what happens when you read
[2:01:02] Speaker 1: a little It's amazing what happens when you read that
[2:01:06] Speaker 1: manual they send you with certain products.
[2:01:09] Speaker 2: Then you know how to use those things.
[2:01:11] Speaker 1: But Kelly wants to be the furry damn t V queen. Uh,
[2:01:15] Speaker 1: and then she wants to do if there's if there's
[2:01:17] Speaker 1: a fan on, Oh my god.
[2:01:19] Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I give grace.
[2:01:23] Speaker 17: I give grace.
[2:01:24] Speaker 2: I don't I don't like, I don't. I don't know
[2:01:27] Speaker 2: what I can take it. Let me explain something to you.
[2:01:30] Speaker 1: I don't give grace. I'm not I'm not the Lord
[2:01:33] Speaker 1: and say that Jesus Christ does his job. And as
[2:01:36] Speaker 1: as German theologic Dietrich von Hoffer said, some of y'all
[2:01:40] Speaker 1: got too much cheap grace. So I just choose to
[2:01:42] Speaker 1: be King Petty, all right, Yes, yes, yes, King Petty,
[2:01:50] Speaker 1: Yes absolutely yes.
[2:01:53] Speaker 9: So the next time, this is exactly the kind of
[2:01:56] Speaker 9: stuff that the white Democrats don't understand.
[2:01:59] Speaker 5: It's black culture.
[2:02:01] Speaker 1: And in fact, and in fact, if y'all really think
[2:02:04] Speaker 1: I don't pay attention, please pull the video up. When
[2:02:07] Speaker 1: Gelanda was speaking, many of y'all probably didn't notice. Gelanda
[2:02:11] Speaker 1: wanted to make sure that her team capture her damn
[2:02:14] Speaker 1: audio because I saw your ass with that big old
[2:02:17] Speaker 1: microphone clipped on it.
[2:02:19] Speaker 2: See you think I don't pay attention? Do I?
[2:02:22] Speaker 16: Do you not?
[2:02:23] Speaker 7: See?
[2:02:23] Speaker 2: Do you not?
[2:02:25] Speaker 13: Club?
[2:02:26] Speaker 2: Am? I am a Lyne? If you had that big
[2:02:28] Speaker 2: ass microphone on.
[2:02:29] Speaker 5: So I have learned that when you have on her
[2:02:31] Speaker 5: mike it it has better sound quality.
[2:02:34] Speaker 1: So yes, precisely, precisely, because probably what happened was I'm
[2:02:40] Speaker 1: gonna tell I'm gonna tell y'all what happened. What happened
[2:02:42] Speaker 1: was Gelna probably had one her staffer sitting there recording
[2:02:46] Speaker 1: and so versus having the sound system speaker and trust me.
[2:02:50] Speaker 1: I told John O'Brien the exact same thing. I told
[2:02:53] Speaker 1: Ben Crump the same thing. I said, start posting the
[2:02:56] Speaker 1: goddamn videos. We got badass audio, I said, get you
[2:03:00] Speaker 1: assid DJ. I might put it on the damn podium.
[2:03:03] Speaker 1: I'm just letting y'all no ideas and put on the
[2:03:05] Speaker 1: podium or where it so we can have some quality
[2:03:08] Speaker 1: audio because.
[2:03:08] Speaker 16: In the TV business, that's not.
[2:03:12] Speaker 2: In the TV business, the two most important things.
[2:03:16] Speaker 1: Your ass better have quality audio and quality lighting. That's
[2:03:20] Speaker 1: when I see when I see an independent movie, I
[2:03:23] Speaker 1: can always tell when they didn't have much money when
[2:03:26] Speaker 1: the audio and the light and it's bad.
[2:03:30] Speaker 9: I'm just saying, and I bought all these things because
[2:03:32] Speaker 9: Roland did tell me about it, this is true.
[2:03:36] Speaker 5: Didn't tell me where puff. He didn't tell me I
[2:03:38] Speaker 5: could sit it on the desk.
[2:03:40] Speaker 16: He did not.
[2:03:42] Speaker 5: He ain't telling me none of that.
[2:03:45] Speaker 1: Because I would have thought you would have read the manual. Okay,
[2:03:47] Speaker 1: we are, we are, we are done with this uh
[2:03:52] Speaker 1: Dji Microphone Video Masterclass. So yes, so let me think,
[2:03:58] Speaker 1: uh Furrey, Kelly Bathia, let me think, Thelma and then
