[1:17] Speaker 2: We'll show you the video by our video from Michigan
[1:19] Speaker 2: of an encounter that could have turned deadly. It's time
[1:21] Speaker 2: to bring the fuck. I'm rolling back filter on the
[1:23] Speaker 2: black sun NetWorld.
[1:24] Speaker 4: Let's go.
[1:26] Speaker 5: What's it?
[1:29] Speaker 6: Whatever it is, he's got the school finda believes he's right,

[2:34] Speaker 2: a black teenager, will continue on Wednesday at the Collin
[2:36] Speaker 2: County Courthouse in McKinnie, Texas. Nearly two hundred potential drawors
[2:40] Speaker 2: intended to fill out of questionnaires on Monday. The case
[2:44] Speaker 2: will be heard in the two hundred nine and six
[2:45] Speaker 2: District Court with Judge John Roach presiding. According to his website,
[2:49] Speaker 2: George Roach is quote a proven conservative. He anticipates that
[2:52] Speaker 2: a jury will be selected by tomorrow, allowing opening statements
[2:55] Speaker 2: to begin on a Thursday. Carmelo was charged with first
[2:58] Speaker 2: to get murdered for family stabbing white student often Metcalf
[3:01] Speaker 2: during the high school track meet last year. Tourni Filma
[3:04] Speaker 2: Anderson is following this case for us. She jes us
[3:06] Speaker 2: right now, Thelma, give us a sense of what's taking
[3:09] Speaker 2: place thus far.
[3:14] Speaker 10: The one thus far what has been taking place is
[3:18] Speaker 10: yesterday was, like Roland stated, the jury questionnaire, and the
[3:23] Speaker 10: questionnaire is a very pivotal piece of paper for initiating
[3:28] Speaker 10: who these potential jurors are, what they think and how
[3:31] Speaker 10: they think, and if you're going to have something to
[3:34] Speaker 10: qualify to get them on or keep them on the jury.
[3:36] Speaker 10: So they went through that process yesterday. I can tell
[3:39] Speaker 10: you it was a lot of people there was. It
[3:41] Speaker 10: was a little diverse, more than I thought it was
[3:44] Speaker 10: going to be, which is hopeful. What you want to
[3:47] Speaker 10: make sure that the jury pool is diverse to represent
[3:51] Speaker 10: the individual also whose constitutional rights is up for display
[3:56] Speaker 10: in this trial. So that's what happened primarily yes yesterday.
[4:00] Speaker 10: No one could view this particular process because it's literally
[4:04] Speaker 10: them answering the questions and these questionnaires have to be
[4:07] Speaker 10: approved by both sides. They go through objections and then
[4:11] Speaker 10: the judge ultimately determines if these questions qualified to go
[4:15] Speaker 10: before the potential jurors that are going to answer that's
[4:19] Speaker 10: primarily what happened yesterday.
[4:22] Speaker 3: Colin County.
[4:23] Speaker 2: It is not as di versus Dallas County.
[4:27] Speaker 10: Absolutely not, not by a long shine. We are the
[4:30] Speaker 10: minority in Colin County.
[4:34] Speaker 2: Colin County also largely white, a lot more conservative as well,
[4:38] Speaker 2: and so that's a concern for a support of the
[4:41] Speaker 2: Camelo anthony.
[4:44] Speaker 10: It's been a concern since the inception of this case
[4:47] Speaker 10: because of what has transpired these last over this last year,
[4:53] Speaker 10: and being that we are in a county and prior
[4:57] Speaker 10: to going out, as from being a former prosecutor, we
[5:01] Speaker 10: always said if you get stopped in Collin County or
[5:04] Speaker 10: Didn't County, good luck, good luck, because it is known
[5:09] Speaker 10: that those two places is a no no for minorities.
[5:13] Speaker 2: Well, it's surely going to be something we watch out
[5:16] Speaker 2: for to see what this jury looks like and what
[5:18] Speaker 2: they are comprised of. And so again they expect your
[5:22] Speaker 2: selection to finish tomorrow, and so when do they expect
[5:25] Speaker 2: the trial to actually begin.
[5:28] Speaker 10: The trial is set to commence on Thursday morning, which
[5:32] Speaker 10: is going to be the opening statements for the state,
[5:35] Speaker 10: and if the defense choose to give an opening statement
[5:38] Speaker 10: because they can waive their opening statement until it's their
[5:41] Speaker 10: case in cheap So that's what primarily is going to
[5:45] Speaker 10: happen on Thursday, and then they're going to go straight
[5:48] Speaker 10: into testimony and the witnesses of the state are going
[5:51] Speaker 10: to be put on cross examination possibly, But we are
[5:56] Speaker 10: set to start on Thursday and is going to continue
[5:59] Speaker 10: to roll on on the said over a week, probably
[6:02] Speaker 10: going into two weeks.
[6:04] Speaker 2: And we were when listening this should be happen. We
[6:06] Speaker 2: obviously had eyewitness testimony. I don't recall if there was
[6:10] Speaker 2: actually any video being shot of the altercation.
[6:14] Speaker 3: Do you recall that being the case?
[6:17] Speaker 10: There are allegations that there's possible video, possible surveillance that
[6:25] Speaker 10: is surrounding the actual stadium, But because this particular judge
[6:30] Speaker 10: has put this case on lockdown, we do not actually
[6:34] Speaker 10: see what's going on within this particular case. And I
[6:38] Speaker 10: can tell you there was supposed to be a video
[6:41] Speaker 10: that the school had possession of and if you went
[6:44] Speaker 10: to the school, you were able to see it until
[6:47] Speaker 10: all of the mockery started to take place and they
[6:49] Speaker 10: just shut all of that down, which I believe someone
[6:52] Speaker 10: ended up getting arrested for that.
[6:54] Speaker 7: For leaking it.
[6:55] Speaker 2: And again, this trial is closed. It's not being broadcast.
[7:01] Speaker 9: No, it is not.
[7:02] Speaker 10: Being broadcast or televised. And I think this is more
[7:05] Speaker 10: so because of this particular judge. I don't necessarily think
[7:09] Speaker 10: the defense wanted this to be a closed to the media,
[7:14] Speaker 10: but I can only anticipate that maybe the state and
[7:17] Speaker 10: the judge aired on this to keep it from being
[7:20] Speaker 10: publicly strained. And I don't quite Frankly, I don't understand why,
[7:25] Speaker 10: because if you're afraid obtaining a jury, then you put
[7:28] Speaker 10: them in so you sequested them and hold them in
[7:31] Speaker 10: a hotel to where they are not allowed to see
[7:34] Speaker 10: what's going on in the real world until they finished
[7:37] Speaker 10: the case in itself.
[7:41] Speaker 2: Gotcha, all right, So it's a lot up we're going
[7:43] Speaker 2: to be paying attention to in this particular case. And
[7:47] Speaker 2: last question, in terms of seats in the courtroom, how
[7:51] Speaker 2: many seats are in the courtroom?
[7:54] Speaker 5: You know, I.
[7:57] Speaker 10: Colley County they house their criminal, civil and family court
[8:02] Speaker 10: all in the same in the same courthouse. So it's
[8:07] Speaker 10: slightly bigger than Dallas County courthouses because it's updated, but
[8:12] Speaker 10: it is not that big. So I don't know how
[8:16] Speaker 10: many individuals are going to be allowed in because it's
[8:19] Speaker 10: not as thick as people think it is. But it
[8:21] Speaker 10: is bigger than the average Dallas County Courthouse courtroom. But
[8:28] Speaker 10: they also have a holdover. But I'm like, if you
[8:31] Speaker 10: have a holdover, y'all going to be allowing someone to
[8:33] Speaker 10: stream it? So how is that going to work? But
[8:38] Speaker 10: it is first comfort served, all right?
[8:41] Speaker 3: Then, Tela Anderson Michelle appreciate it. Thanks a lot, absolutely, folk.
[8:45] Speaker 2: It's gonna go to break when we come back on
[8:47] Speaker 2: rollandardon unfils, we talk about what's happened in Louisiana, whether
[8:50] Speaker 2: the Louisiana Supreme Court has allowed that state to move
[8:54] Speaker 2: forward with removing various judge positions in New Orleans. Will
[8:59] Speaker 2: talk to one of those judges right here. I'm Roland
[9:02] Speaker 2: Martinum filtered on the Black Star Network back at all.
[9:07] Speaker 8: With medicine and science under attack, I want to keep
[9:10] Speaker 8: you and your family informed and healthy.
[9:12] Speaker 7: I'm doctor Ebany Hilton, and I knew at the age.
[9:15] Speaker 11: Of eight that I wanted to be a doctor, so.
[9:17] Speaker 8: I studied hard and became the first African American female
[9:20] Speaker 8: and sociologist hierarch to Medical University of South Carolina.
[9:24] Speaker 12: Since it's opening in eighteen twenty four.
[9:26] Speaker 8: And I always say I was made into a doctor,
[9:29] Speaker 8: but I was born to be a mom. And as
[9:31] Speaker 8: a new mom, wife's, sister, daughter, and friend, I understand
[9:35] Speaker 8: how frightening a medical crisis can be. I care for
[9:38] Speaker 8: individuals on some of the worst days of their lives,
[9:41] Speaker 8: and it's my mistery to provide you with a safe
[9:43] Speaker 8: space to gain clarity on.
[9:45] Speaker 5: Issues affecting your mind body.
[9:47] Speaker 8: And so I recognize that there are health disperities, particularly
[9:51] Speaker 8: as it pertains the race, and I want to help
[9:53] Speaker 8: bridge the gat became you and lead your health care providers.
[9:56] Speaker 8: Join me every Thursday, or Second Opinion on my Life
[9:59] Speaker 8: start work for each week, I'll invite guests first from
[10:02] Speaker 8: various medical fields to share the latest helpers. We'll discuss
[10:06] Speaker 8: topics such as the vaccine tobate, mental and sentual health,
[10:10] Speaker 8: medical bias, infertility, menopause andropause, nutrition and aging. Together with
[10:16] Speaker 8: my medical colleagues, we aim to provide you.
[10:19] Speaker 11: With a Second Opinion.
[10:21] Speaker 8: Don't miss it thursdays only on the Blackstar Network.
[10:27] Speaker 2: All right, folks, let me tell you about chapter now.
[10:30] Speaker 2: If you're in medicare or about to be, the system
[10:33] Speaker 2: is not set up to work for you. Too much
[10:35] Speaker 2: fine print, too many plans, and too many people making money.
[10:38] Speaker 3: Off of your confusion. And look, we're used to this.
[10:41] Speaker 2: We're no strangers to systems that don't have our best
[10:43] Speaker 2: interests at heart. But we don't have to accept it
[10:46] Speaker 2: when it comes to Medicare. That's why I'm telling you
[10:49] Speaker 2: about Chapter. Their advisors are independent and honest. In fact,
[10:54] Speaker 2: they're the only Medicare advisors that compare every plan nationwide,
[11:00] Speaker 2: and they're focused on one thing, what works for you.
[11:05] Speaker 2: If there's a better plan out there, they'll find it.
[11:09] Speaker 2: If you're already in the right one, they'll tell you
[11:11] Speaker 2: that too.
[11:12] Speaker 3: There are no games.
[11:13] Speaker 2: Just last year, people who switched with Chapter saved an
[11:17] Speaker 2: average up eleven hundred dollars. It's twenty minutes and a
[11:21] Speaker 2: real person. It's completely free. My parents actually have already
[11:25] Speaker 2: called Mom, will send me a text. Folks, Give Chapter
[11:29] Speaker 2: a call at seven two four two sixty four eight
[11:31] Speaker 2: two eight one seven two four two sixty four A
[11:34] Speaker 2: two eight.
[11:35] Speaker 3: One and connect with someone you can trust. Folks.
[11:38] Speaker 2: These are the kind of services that we need for
[11:40] Speaker 2: our audience here at Roland Martin Onnfiltered and the Blackstar Network.
[11:44] Speaker 2: So call chapter right now seven two four, two sixty four,
[11:48] Speaker 2: eight to eight one. My name is Bill Duke, and
[11:53] Speaker 2: you're watching there Mark on filtered.
[12:05] Speaker 3: Wawmakers.
[12:06] Speaker 2: Republican lawmakers in Louisiana passed City Bill two seventeen. Again,
[12:09] Speaker 2: this is a part of the GOP war on Black America.
[12:13] Speaker 2: This bill will downsize multiple courts in New Orleans. It's
[12:16] Speaker 2: now here to Governor Jeff Landrys dest to be signed
[12:18] Speaker 2: into law. The bill reduces the number of Orleans Criminal
[12:22] Speaker 2: District Court judges from thirteen to nine, Juvenile Court judges
[12:26] Speaker 2: from four to two, and Municipal and Traffic Court judges
[12:29] Speaker 2: from two to by two from seven to five. The
[12:31] Speaker 2: three criminal Court judges that I said to be eliminated
[12:34] Speaker 2: are Honorable Simone Levine, Ronda Good Douglas, and the recent
[12:38] Speaker 2: winner of the unfilled section JC judge John Fuller. Douglas
[12:43] Speaker 2: joins us right now from New Orleans. Glad to have
[12:46] Speaker 2: you here, all right. So, normally when we see a
[12:50] Speaker 2: reduction like this, it's because we've seen a drop in cases.
[12:57] Speaker 3: What's the rationale given?
[13:00] Speaker 13: So, the rationale is that the state legislature decided and
[13:07] Speaker 13: this legislation comes from a legislator that is not part
[13:11] Speaker 13: of the New Orleans delegation.
[13:13] Speaker 11: It's someone from Monroe, Louisiana who.
[13:18] Speaker 13: Decided that the judges in Orleans Parish were not working efficiently,
[13:23] Speaker 13: that we did not have enough work to do, and
[13:25] Speaker 13: that the court should be streamlined.
[13:30] Speaker 2: And this a person's opinion. Was it backed up by
[13:35] Speaker 2: data by facts?
[13:38] Speaker 11: No, there's no, there's been no.
[13:41] Speaker 13: Now, I will say that the court, all of the
[13:43] Speaker 13: courts in in Louisiana did participate in a work study
[13:49] Speaker 13: evaluation which sort of evaluated us for five weeks last year. However,
[13:56] Speaker 13: that uh study was only supposed to be used to
[14:00] Speaker 13: determine whether or not new judge new judges should be added.
[14:04] Speaker 11: It was not for any such reduction of judges.
[14:07] Speaker 13: And I'm not sure if that is what the basis
[14:12] Speaker 13: is that they're utilizing. However, that was not what that
[14:16] Speaker 13: that study was was for.
[14:18] Speaker 11: It's simply just.
[14:21] Speaker 13: An attack on the judges in Orleans Parish.
[14:27] Speaker 2: So now it's down with this particular move, and for
[14:30] Speaker 2: people who don't know, was New Orleans is the only
[14:34] Speaker 2: parish targeted, so so they didn't look at any other
[14:40] Speaker 2: court system in the whole state, just New Orleans.
[14:44] Speaker 11: Just New Orleans.
[14:45] Speaker 13: And as I said before, the legislator that created the
[14:49] Speaker 13: legislation is from northern Louisiana. He's he is an attorney,
[14:56] Speaker 13: but I don't believe that he's practiced in any of
[14:58] Speaker 13: our courthouse in Orleans Parish and quite some time, and
[15:02] Speaker 13: he actually said that during some of the hearings.
[15:08] Speaker 3: Wow, that just absolutely is crazy.
[15:13] Speaker 2: And obviously the City of New Orleans fought this and
[15:18] Speaker 2: the clerk position that when allways to the Supreme Court.
[15:22] Speaker 2: So the Supreme Court has said, yeah, legislatures that can
[15:24] Speaker 2: do whatever they want to. So this is this is
[15:26] Speaker 2: what I'm always reminding people again for all the black
[15:29] Speaker 2: folks in Louisiana who set their asses at home in
[15:31] Speaker 2: the last election which allowed for Jeff Landry to get
[15:35] Speaker 2: fifty plus one percent and locked in the Republicans having
[15:38] Speaker 2: a super majority in the legislature before they did.
[15:41] Speaker 3: Not have one.
[15:42] Speaker 2: And so this is the consequence when the folks don't vote,
[15:46] Speaker 2: they get then get to do what they want to do.
[15:49] Speaker 2: So here is here are Republicans in Louisiana, Maga Republicans
[15:53] Speaker 2: singling New Orleans out and penalizing New Orleans. And so
[15:58] Speaker 2: for folks who don't vote were here you go, this is.
[16:02] Speaker 11: And this is exactly where we are.
[16:04] Speaker 13: So, mister Martin, what I will tell you about my circumstances. Initially,
[16:09] Speaker 13: we were all under the impression, not that you know
[16:12] Speaker 13: the court agreed to the reduct deduction and judges, but
[16:16] Speaker 13: we were under the impression that it would be the
[16:18] Speaker 13: last three elected. I learned on Sunday at seven pm
[16:24] Speaker 13: via text message from a defense attorney that my seat
[16:28] Speaker 13: had come up and was now in the bill. The
[16:32] Speaker 13: bill passed, obviously, because as you said, there is a supermajority,
[16:37] Speaker 13: and it's now sitting on the Governor's desk waiting to
[16:40] Speaker 13: be signed.
[16:41] Speaker 3: And again for the people who are unaware.
[16:43] Speaker 2: When MAGA Governor Jeff Landry was Attorney General, he also
[16:48] Speaker 2: wanted the law change when it came to the unseiling
[16:51] Speaker 2: of juvenile records only for Orleans Parish.
[16:58] Speaker 13: Now, I'm gonna be honest with you, I'm not clear
[17:01] Speaker 13: as on that legislation.
[17:02] Speaker 11: I'm not doubting you on that, but.
[17:06] Speaker 13: I do know that there has been some legislation in
[17:08] Speaker 13: regards to the juvenile records. I was not aware that
[17:13] Speaker 13: it was just in Orleans Parish. So you've Actually, I'm
[17:16] Speaker 13: a judge in Orleans Parish. I don't do juvenile work.
[17:19] Speaker 13: But I did know that that was some legislation. I
[17:21] Speaker 13: did not know that it was just for Orleans Parish.
[17:23] Speaker 13: I thought it was you know, statewide. So that's that's interesting.
[17:28] Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, And in fact he championed well, first
[17:35] Speaker 2: of all, what he did was in Mark twenty twenty four.
[17:40] Speaker 2: They he championed legislation that would make juvenile criminal records public.
[17:45] Speaker 2: And because they want to expose violent and criminal records,
[17:48] Speaker 2: and so this is what he wanted to do. And
[17:51] Speaker 2: then we called that special session in February of twenty
[17:54] Speaker 2: twenty four.
[17:55] Speaker 3: That's what it was all about.
[17:56] Speaker 2: So you know, listen, when he was attorney general, saw
[18:00] Speaker 2: exactly what he was trying to do. And in fact,
[18:05] Speaker 2: this is a story right here from.
[18:10] Speaker 3: The Associated Press Press.
[18:12] Speaker 2: The story said, youth records in mainly black Louisiana areas
[18:17] Speaker 2: may go public. Give me one second, I'm going to
[18:19] Speaker 2: close this, I mean close this out. And then as
[18:25] Speaker 2: public frustration when Louisiana's violent crime grows, Republican gublatorial candid
[18:29] Speaker 2: Attorney General Jeff Landry is backing legislation that would make
[18:32] Speaker 2: certain confidential juvenile records public in three of the state's parishes,
[18:36] Speaker 2: all of which are predominantly black. So he was targeting
[18:39] Speaker 2: black parishes. In Orleans Parish was one of those. Now
[18:43] Speaker 2: you would think that if you're trying to do something
[18:45] Speaker 2: that you would target all but no, he was only
[18:49] Speaker 2: targeting predominantly black parishes.
[18:54] Speaker 11: So you know, as.
[18:55] Speaker 13: Such, Adge, I have certain judicial canons that do not
[18:58] Speaker 13: allow me to comme on legislation. In fact, you know,
[19:03] Speaker 13: that's been sort of the difficulty with what's going on
[19:08] Speaker 13: right now. You know, Unfortunately, there's not a lot that
[19:12] Speaker 13: I can advocate for myself in terms of how I
[19:16] Speaker 13: feel about this legislation. So you know, I will definitely
[19:20] Speaker 13: refrain from comment. I think what you said is what
[19:25] Speaker 13: it is on what you need.
[19:27] Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna show this here. So it's supposed to
[19:29] Speaker 2: be a two year pilot program go to my iPad
[19:32] Speaker 2: that would apply to three parishes kto East Baton, Rugia or Orleans,
[19:36] Speaker 2: all the ap stories said, all of which are home
[19:38] Speaker 2: to Louisiana's most populous counties cities. While supporters of the
[19:41] Speaker 2: legislation site of that these three areas have the largest
[19:44] Speaker 2: number of violent crimes in the state. They are also
[19:46] Speaker 2: predominant black. So at the end of the day, Supreme
[19:51] Speaker 2: Court said they can do what they want to do.
[19:53] Speaker 2: So all of y'all are out of these jobs, and
[19:57] Speaker 2: the only thing that could change is if you have
[19:59] Speaker 2: a changing legislate.
[20:01] Speaker 3: You're correct.
[20:02] Speaker 11: So what I will say is that.
[20:05] Speaker 13: Yesterday the Governor was because I am one of the
[20:10] Speaker 13: more tenured judges and have been around for a while,
[20:14] Speaker 13: the Governor was very frustrated with the fact that I
[20:16] Speaker 13: had been added and another seat had been removed.
[20:21] Speaker 11: So I'm remaining.
[20:23] Speaker 13: Hopeful and prayerful that the Governor will veto this bill.
[20:29] Speaker 13: And you know, simply because I don't even know how
[20:34] Speaker 13: I got added to the bill. No one could really
[20:38] Speaker 13: explain to me why my particular section of court was added.
[20:44] Speaker 13: I was elected in twenty twenty. I have two specialty courts.
[20:48] Speaker 13: I work every day. I come to work, I try cases.
[20:51] Speaker 13: I do my job. I don't have a lot of
[20:55] Speaker 13: negative newspaper stories.
[20:57] Speaker 11: I don't have a lot of negativity.
[20:58] Speaker 13: I treat everybody fair, impartial, and I do my best
[21:02] Speaker 13: every single day to represent the citizens of Orleans Parish.
[21:06] Speaker 13: And so the governor was very upset and angry that
[21:11] Speaker 13: I had been added to the bill in this last ditch.
[21:17] Speaker 13: I don't know if it was some deal that was
[21:19] Speaker 13: cut with other legislators. I really don't know, but no
[21:23] Speaker 13: one has been able to explain to me how I
[21:27] Speaker 13: You know, there were several other judges with less tenure
[21:30] Speaker 13: than me that were put that they skipped over basically
[21:34] Speaker 13: to come to me. Yeah, so I'm actually third in line.
[21:41] Speaker 13: I'll be the deputy chief in twenty twenty eight, so
[21:45] Speaker 13: I'm not sure, you know, should I survive. I guess
[21:48] Speaker 13: this this cut that was the plan. There was a
[21:52] Speaker 13: rumor out there, so I want to, you know, dispel
[21:55] Speaker 13: all rumors. There was a rumor on the House floor
[21:57] Speaker 13: that I was planning on retiring.
[21:59] Speaker 14: I am not.
[22:01] Speaker 13: And what I will say is that should my seat
[22:04] Speaker 13: be eliminated, I will seek re election in another seat
[22:08] Speaker 13: on this bench because I deserve.
[22:09] Speaker 11: To be here.
[22:10] Speaker 13: I've done the work and there's absolutely no reason why
[22:14] Speaker 13: my seat should be eliminated from this court.
[22:18] Speaker 3: All right, Judge Ronald good Douglas, we really appreciate it.
[22:20] Speaker 3: Thanks a lot.
[22:21] Speaker 11: Thank you, mister Martin. I appreciate you taking the time.
[22:24] Speaker 2: All right, folks want to bring my panel right now,
[22:27] Speaker 2: and some other course. News of the day that the
[22:30] Speaker 2: Mustapha san Diego A Lee, former Senior Advisor for Environmental
[22:33] Speaker 2: Justice at the EPA, joining us out of Washington d C.
[22:38] Speaker 2: Randy Bryant, DEI disruptor.
[22:42] Speaker 3: She joins us as well.
[22:43] Speaker 2: She's also entrepreneurial author and creator of the Truth in Game,
[22:47] Speaker 2: joining us from d C. C Lit Thompson's secret director
[22:49] Speaker 2: being with the Black Men Dot Org of DC as well.
[22:53] Speaker 2: We say this over and over again, Mustafa election have consequences,
[22:56] Speaker 2: and there's a whole bunch of people who set at
[22:58] Speaker 2: home in Louisiana. You're the black man who was running
[23:01] Speaker 2: on the Democratic side for governor, and if he got
[23:06] Speaker 2: more votes than that would have kept Landry from getting
[23:09] Speaker 2: fifty plus one, it would have forced a run off.
[23:11] Speaker 2: But a lot of people chose to sit at home,
[23:12] Speaker 2: not as black people, but talking to black people because
[23:15] Speaker 2: our numbers in that election were absolutely horrible. And so
[23:19] Speaker 2: the consequences of people not voting is when the legislature
[23:23] Speaker 2: comes back and then do whatever the hell they want
[23:25] Speaker 2: to because they now they have a supermajority. So part
[23:29] Speaker 2: of this idea, and we talk about voting, it's not
[23:32] Speaker 2: always playing offense, it's also playing defense.
[23:38] Speaker 15: Maya Angelou once said that voting is the great equalizer,
[23:41] Speaker 15: and when we don't fully understand what that means, then
[23:44] Speaker 15: we see the types of behaviors of folks just being
[23:48] Speaker 15: apathetic and not engaging in the process and not honoring
[23:52] Speaker 15: the power that they have to make sure that the
[23:54] Speaker 15: right individuals are being elected.
[23:57] Speaker 1: We've talked about.
[23:58] Speaker 15: For years now on this show about judges and how
[24:00] Speaker 15: incredibly important they are and making sure that we have
[24:04] Speaker 15: those judges that will interpret the law fairly. We'll make
[24:07] Speaker 15: sure that they understand the dynamics that often go on
[24:10] Speaker 15: and also the disparities that are part of the legal system.
[24:15] Speaker 15: So when we don't utilize our power, when we don't
[24:18] Speaker 15: show up, then we get these types of actions that
[24:22] Speaker 15: are happening from folks who want to erase us, who
[24:25] Speaker 15: want to make sure that we don't have the power.
[24:27] Speaker 15: And then, of course, to make sure that in many
[24:29] Speaker 15: instances there are those private prisons that are out there,
[24:32] Speaker 15: they want to continue to fill those up, so we
[24:36] Speaker 15: could stop that. We can mitigate some of that by
[24:38] Speaker 15: making sure that we show up at the ballot box
[24:40] Speaker 15: and then voting for the individuals who we know will
[24:43] Speaker 15: have the best interest for our communities.
[24:45] Speaker 2: Randy, I try to explain to people, when you look
[24:47] Speaker 2: at the hard Right, they wanted to get rid of
[24:51] Speaker 2: Roe V wave a very long time. They just stop
[24:54] Speaker 2: going to the polls. And so the lesson that people
[24:56] Speaker 2: need to take from this is you may not get
[24:59] Speaker 2: what you want in one cycle or two or three,
[25:04] Speaker 2: or four or five, but the whole point of keep
[25:07] Speaker 2: coming back is you might eventually get what you want.
[25:12] Speaker 16: Right, and we can't let our ga, our pedals off
[25:15] Speaker 16: the gat, our feet off the gas.
[25:16] Speaker 5: We have to keep pushing and pushing.
[25:18] Speaker 16: And I know it's frustrating because it feels as if
[25:21] Speaker 16: we are we don't get everything that we want, and
[25:24] Speaker 16: it feels as if we're fighting against a tide that
[25:26] Speaker 16: we can't fight against.
[25:27] Speaker 5: But that is what they want.
[25:29] Speaker 16: They want us to be uninvolved, They want us to
[25:31] Speaker 16: feel apathetic, they want us to feel defeated.
[25:34] Speaker 5: But we're not defeated, and.
[25:35] Speaker 16: So we just have to keep pushing because we see
[25:38] Speaker 16: what happens when we.
[25:39] Speaker 3: Don't absolutely clil.
[25:45] Speaker 9: Thank you Roland.
[25:46] Speaker 17: You know people have been cheering on the Knicks for
[25:48] Speaker 17: the last thirty years, and they still show up the games,
[25:51] Speaker 17: they still go to Madison Square Garden. They've lost almost
[25:54] Speaker 17: every season, but this year they finally get what they want.
[25:56] Speaker 17: So I think your example is that just because the
[26:00] Speaker 17: election doesn't turn out the way that you want, it
[26:02] Speaker 17: doesn't mean that you stop. Conversely, that if you do
[26:06] Speaker 17: get someone in the office that you support, we got
[26:08] Speaker 17: to hold them accountable. We can't just rock with them
[26:11] Speaker 17: for the culture just because they happen to look like
[26:13] Speaker 17: us or they're from our communities.
[26:14] Speaker 9: If they're not showing up for us and.
[26:16] Speaker 17: Delivering in the way that changes our community for the better,
[26:20] Speaker 17: well then we don't need them in office. And so
[26:24] Speaker 17: what I've loved about the conversations that's happened over the
[26:26] Speaker 17: last couple of months, it's really woken up I think
[26:28] Speaker 17: a lot of people, not moving folks, but community folks
[26:31] Speaker 17: who realize that elections aren't just about the top of
[26:34] Speaker 17: the ticket or federal races. We need to be concerned
[26:36] Speaker 17: about our school boards. We need to be concerned about
[26:38] Speaker 17: judicial races, our sheriff races, all of these other down
[26:42] Speaker 17: ballot races that are vitally important and have a direct
[26:45] Speaker 17: day to day impact on your life.
[26:50] Speaker 2: Absolutely, let me do us to go to a quick break.
[26:52] Speaker 2: We come back, we'll have some breaking news. You're watching
[26:55] Speaker 2: Rolling Unfiltered on the blackstud Network.
[27:01] Speaker 3: All right, folks, let me tell you about Chapter. Now.
[27:03] Speaker 2: If you're in Medicare or about to be, the system
[27:06] Speaker 2: is not set up to work for you. Too much fine,
[27:09] Speaker 2: too many plans, and too many people making money off
[27:12] Speaker 2: of your confusion.
[27:13] Speaker 3: And look, we're used to this.
[27:14] Speaker 2: We're no strangers to systems that don't have our best
[27:16] Speaker 2: interest at heart. But we don't have to accept it
[27:19] Speaker 2: when it comes to Medicare. That's why I'm telling you
[27:22] Speaker 2: about Chapter. Their advisors are independent and honest. In fact,
[27:27] Speaker 2: they're the only Medicare advisors that compare every plan nationwide,
[27:33] Speaker 2: and they're focused on one thing, what works for you.
[27:39] Speaker 2: If there's a better plan out there, they'll find it.
[27:42] Speaker 2: If you're already in the right one, they'll tell you
[27:44] Speaker 2: that too.
[27:45] Speaker 3: There are no games.
[27:47] Speaker 2: Just last year, people who switched with Chapter saved an
[27:50] Speaker 2: average up eleven hundred dollars. It's twenty minutes and a
[27:54] Speaker 2: real person. It's completely free. My parents actually have already

[28:21] Speaker 2: two six four, eight to eight one.
[28:33] Speaker 18: They said the quiet part out loud. Black votes are
[28:36] Speaker 18: a threat, so they erased them. And after the Supreme
[28:39] Speaker 18: Court gutted the Voting Rights Act in twenty thirteen, Republican
[28:43] Speaker 18: legislatures moved fast new voter ID laws, polling place shutdowns,
[28:49] Speaker 18: purges of black voters from the rolls. Trump's Justice Department
[28:53] Speaker 18: didn't stop it. They joined in. In twenty eighteen. Is
[28:57] Speaker 18: DOJ backed Ohio's voter purge system scheme that disproportionately erased
[29:01] Speaker 18: Black voters. Their goal erased black votes and political power.

[30:59] Speaker 2: and those closest to him.
[31:00] Speaker 3: For more than.
[31:01] Speaker 2: Five decades, Peebo's extraordinary voice served as the soundtrack to
[31:05] Speaker 2: some of life most cherished moments. His music carried generations
[31:10] Speaker 2: through joyful celebrations, great love stories, and enduring moments of
[31:14] Speaker 2: comfort and inspiration, creating a legacy that will forever live
[31:18] Speaker 2: in the hearts of those who loved him and the
[31:21] Speaker 2: countless lives he touched through song. In this deeply difficult moment,
[31:26] Speaker 2: the family asked for privacy as they mourned the loss
[31:29] Speaker 2: of a beloved husband, father, family member, friend, and artists
[31:34] Speaker 2: whose impact extended far beyond the stage. We are tremendously
[31:39] Speaker 2: moved by the outpouring of love, prayers, and support from
[31:41] Speaker 2: his fans, friends, and colleagues around the world. The family shared,
[31:45] Speaker 2: while our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing
[31:48] Speaker 2: how deeply Peebo was loved and how many lives were
[31:51] Speaker 2: touched by his voice and his generous spirit. His legacy
[31:55] Speaker 2: and music will live on for generations to come. The

[32:40] Speaker 1: Now.
[32:40] Speaker 2: If you're in Medicare or about to be, the system
[32:44] Speaker 2: is not set up to work for you. Too much
[32:46] Speaker 2: fine print, too many plans, and too many people making money.
[32:48] Speaker 3: Off of your confusion. And look, we're used to this.
[32:51] Speaker 2: We're no strangers to systems that don't have our best
[32:54] Speaker 2: interests at heart. But we don't have to accept it
[32:57] Speaker 2: when it comes to Medicare. That's why I'm telling you

[33:45] Speaker 3: One and connect with someone you can trust.
[33:48] Speaker 2: Folks, these are the kind of services that we need
[33:51] Speaker 2: for our audience here at Roland Martin no Onnfiltered and
[33:54] Speaker 2: the Blackstar Network. So call Chapter right now seven two
[33:57] Speaker 2: four two sixty four eight to eight one.
[34:01] Speaker 19: Hey everybody, I'm gd Jason.
[34:03] Speaker 9: I want to encourage you to watch Roland Martin I Filtered.
[34:08] Speaker 3: It'll blow your mind.
[34:15] Speaker 2: South Carolina Dury believed the self defense claim and acquitted
[34:18] Speaker 2: an Asian store owner of murdering a black teen he
[34:21] Speaker 2: shot in the back. Monday's verdict surprised everyone, including sixty
[34:25] Speaker 2: one year old gk Rick Child. In twenty twenty three,
[34:29] Speaker 2: Child shot fourteen year old Cyrus Carmac Belgian after chasing
[34:32] Speaker 2: him more than one hundred and thirty yards from his
[34:35] Speaker 2: Columbia convenience store.
[34:36] Speaker 3: The store owner falsely accused the teen of.
[34:38] Speaker 2: Stealing and chased Cyrus after the teen left the store.
[34:42] Speaker 2: Chile said he shot the teen in defense of his son,
[34:45] Speaker 2: who was also who also chased Cyrus. Child said Cyrus
[34:49] Speaker 2: pointed a gun at his son, but prosecutors said Child
[34:52] Speaker 2: acted in anger because he wrongfully thought the teen had
[34:56] Speaker 2: stolen the.
[34:56] Speaker 3: Bottles of water.
[34:57] Speaker 2: Prosecutors told geors that the teen's gun had fallen during
[35:01] Speaker 2: the chase and that child was never threatened with it.
[35:04] Speaker 2: Here's what carmac Belton family attorney Todd Rutherford had to
[35:08] Speaker 2: say after last night's verdict.
[35:10] Speaker 4: Anger is palpable tonight.
[35:13] Speaker 20: You can feel that you can touch it because people
[35:14] Speaker 20: saw a child that looked like their own, that did
[35:18] Speaker 20: nothing wrong, a child that all the witnesses described had
[35:22] Speaker 20: fear in his eyes when he left the store, and
[35:24] Speaker 20: then he started to run as two grown men chased
[35:26] Speaker 20: him down over a football field.
[35:30] Speaker 19: And shot him dead.
[35:32] Speaker 20: This should not happen. This makes us feel as if
[35:38] Speaker 20: our children.
[35:38] Speaker 4: Don't matter, and they do.
[35:40] Speaker 20: This makes us feel like Soyrus's life did not matter,
[35:42] Speaker 20: and it did. What you see tonight is going to
[35:46] Speaker 20: be the anger, and what we ask is that that
[35:49] Speaker 20: anger not turning anything else but words to go online
[35:52] Speaker 20: to talk about it, to discuss it, but not to
[35:56] Speaker 20: act like what people in their evil minds think that
[35:59] Speaker 20: we are. We are certainly better than that. Cyrus was
[36:02] Speaker 20: better than that. His family is better than that. It's
[36:07] Speaker 20: unfortunate that this was the jury's verdict. We have no
[36:09] Speaker 20: choice but to accept it. But we don't disagree. But
[36:12] Speaker 20: we don't agree. There is no way that a child
[36:14] Speaker 20: who did nothing wrong, who is shot in his back,
[36:19] Speaker 20: how that jury can justify that verdict. I've been practicing
[36:22] Speaker 20: law for almost thirty years. I've never seen anything like this.
[36:25] Speaker 20: I don't understand it. I'm at a loss to explain
[36:28] Speaker 20: it to his father, Troy standing beside me. I'm at
[36:31] Speaker 20: a loss to explain it to his mother, who couldn't
[36:33] Speaker 20: take it and had to leave. I'm been a loss
[36:35] Speaker 20: to explain it to his family because I too don't
[36:38] Speaker 20: understand it. I've talked to the sheriff tonight. We all
[36:42] Speaker 20: ask for calm. We all ask to everybody make sure
[36:44] Speaker 20: that we celebrate Cyrus's life, that we make sure that
[36:48] Speaker 20: he is his legacy continues like his life did. He
[36:53] Speaker 20: ran away and he got shot in the back.
[36:57] Speaker 4: Should not happen.
[36:58] Speaker 20: Shouldn't have happened, and unfortunately we're gonna have to deal
[37:02] Speaker 20: with the end results of it.
[37:03] Speaker 14: Thank you, Yeah, that boy.
[37:10] Speaker 5: Will you still be pursuing us.
[37:12] Speaker 20: We will still be pursuing a civil lawsuit. Rick Chowwell
[37:15] Speaker 20: found not guilty.
[37:16] Speaker 4: We're still going to sue him.
[37:18] Speaker 20: He owes, he owes for what he did to Cyrus,
[37:20] Speaker 20: he owes, what he did to the family, he owes
[37:22] Speaker 20: for what he did to this community. What he did
[37:24] Speaker 20: was wrong. He took a life that he should not have.
[37:26] Speaker 20: He had no reason, no one ever does to chase
[37:28] Speaker 20: a child a hundred and thirty yards and shoot them
[37:30] Speaker 20: in the back. I don't care what that jury said.
[37:33] Speaker 20: There is no justification for that. It should never happen again.
[37:36] Speaker 20: And it is not open season on black people for
[37:38] Speaker 20: anybody to feel like they should be able to do
[37:40] Speaker 20: it because the jury found him not guilty.
[37:42] Speaker 10: And we just get I don't know if if Dad
[37:45] Speaker 10: can speak and just give your reactions.
[37:46] Speaker 9: We listening, went down.

[40:42] Speaker 18: Now that the sime you're just playing on the stops
[40:44] Speaker 18: dramas is going.
[40:45] Speaker 23: Today's anything you prom you may have and anything the better? Yeah, okay,
[40:56] Speaker 23: place to you. You can return to your your room
[40:58] Speaker 23: on the right. Back the issue, all.
[41:32] Speaker 3: Right, folks.
[41:37] Speaker 2: Absolutely incredible decision there in South Carolina. Uh, but it
[41:41] Speaker 2: should not be a shock. Remember the officer who shot
[41:44] Speaker 2: Walter Scott. Remember that trial first began, h Randy. It
[41:50] Speaker 2: was a hung jury.
[41:53] Speaker 3: People. Forget that, even with that video evidence.
[41:55] Speaker 4: And so.
[41:57] Speaker 2: Kids shot in the back and you accused someone of
[42:01] Speaker 2: stealing water and taking their life that was worth water
[42:07] Speaker 2: and chasing one hundred and thirty yards. I need people
[42:09] Speaker 2: to understand that's literally more than the length of a
[42:12] Speaker 2: football field.
[42:16] Speaker 16: You know, it is heartbreaking, but not at all surprising,
[42:20] Speaker 16: And it's sad that this is our America that it
[42:23] Speaker 16: is not surprising. I mean, there is the value on
[42:26] Speaker 16: black life is very diminished, and you know, so many
[42:30] Speaker 16: people with white supremacists have done a great job of
[42:34] Speaker 16: making us taking our humanity away from us. So it's
[42:38] Speaker 16: almost as if people don't see cyrus, they don't see
[42:41] Speaker 16: a fourteen year old child. They see a menace that
[42:46] Speaker 16: is not protecting yourself when you chase someone for as
[42:51] Speaker 16: long as they chase that child, that fourteen year old child.
[42:55] Speaker 5: And then shot him in the back, How could you
[42:59] Speaker 5: say you.
[42:59] Speaker 16: Were defending yourself if his back was to you, that
[43:03] Speaker 16: he was not facing you, that he was not pointing
[43:06] Speaker 16: a gun at you.
[43:07] Speaker 5: How do they get well, we know how they get
[43:09] Speaker 5: away with it.
[43:10] Speaker 16: It is so incredibly frustrating and sadly we hear these
[43:15] Speaker 16: stories just all too frequently, and.
[43:18] Speaker 5: At the end of the day over water.
[43:20] Speaker 16: All I can pray is that they're successful in their
[43:23] Speaker 16: civil case against him, and I hope that that man
[43:28] Speaker 16: is imprisoned in the mind that he knows he knows
[43:31] Speaker 16: that he murdered that fourteen year old child and he
[43:34] Speaker 16: has to live.
[43:34] Speaker 15: With that for the rest of his life.
[43:36] Speaker 3: Yep.
[43:37] Speaker 2: And you know, you know this is very clear. And
[43:42] Speaker 2: when you look at it, this is you know, long
[43:45] Speaker 2: crime posting, this is social media. This is the photo
[43:48] Speaker 2: of rich child, and this is the photo of that
[43:52] Speaker 2: young man Carmack Belton again dead. The thing here, Khalif,
[43:59] Speaker 2: is that we look at these places black life means nothing, clil.
[44:09] Speaker 17: You know, I'm reminded of that it's only thirty not
[44:12] Speaker 17: only it's thirty five years ago that soon Ja Do
[44:14] Speaker 17: shot the young black girl in her grocery Korean grocery
[44:18] Speaker 17: store on her shot the young black girl in California,
[44:21] Speaker 17: that just this year in a tzara, a black woman
[44:23] Speaker 17: who walked in with her own jacket was chased by
[44:28] Speaker 17: these employees out who had smiles on their face as
[44:31] Speaker 17: if they were doing a citizen's arrest. Many of us
[44:36] Speaker 17: just want to get up and breathe and go about
[44:38] Speaker 17: our day as every ordinary Americans just to live, I mean, unfortunately,
[44:45] Speaker 17: And as you were playing the recount from the courtroom,
[44:50] Speaker 17: you know, my chest gets tighter and my shoulders stand
[44:54] Speaker 17: up on edge, because this is just another case, and
[44:58] Speaker 17: far too often this is just another moment, and it's
[45:01] Speaker 17: an unfortunate another name that we're going to have to
[45:04] Speaker 17: remember year in and year out. Whose life was lost.
[45:07] Speaker 17: That could have been an astronaut or an engineer, a doctor,
[45:14] Speaker 17: could have cured cancer, could have done so many things
[45:17] Speaker 17: with their life. But over less than five dollars, you
[45:21] Speaker 17: chased them out of your store. And I've read the
[45:23] Speaker 17: recount over the weekend. His shoes came off as he
[45:26] Speaker 17: was running, he stopped. I heard one of the investigators
[45:31] Speaker 17: was asked, well, he had a gun in his backpack,
[45:33] Speaker 17: but you didn't know. You didn't You couldn't see through
[45:36] Speaker 17: his backpack, or you couldn't understand these things. You made
[45:39] Speaker 17: a split second decision. I obviously did not watch, unfortunately,
[45:43] Speaker 17: did not watch the case from start to finished show.
[45:46] Speaker 17: Don't know how the jury came to this decision. But
[45:49] Speaker 17: then I also, I'm sorry I'm reacting in the moment
[45:51] Speaker 17: I see the brother standing there on his defense team,
[45:54] Speaker 17: shaking his hand and smiling while the cries of a
[45:57] Speaker 17: mother and father that looked like you, that looked like
[45:59] Speaker 17: your mother and father are wailing in the background, and
[46:02] Speaker 17: you can with a straight faced Greek or client like
[46:06] Speaker 17: I am apoplectically wondering, when does the promise that's been
[46:11] Speaker 17: owed to us for over the two hundred and fifty
[46:14] Speaker 17: years that this country is going to celebrate on July
[46:17] Speaker 17: fourth gonna finally be due?
[46:18] Speaker 9: When does that bill get paid?
[46:21] Speaker 3: Mustafa?
[46:22] Speaker 2: While we go to you, I'm gonna play this. This
[46:24] Speaker 2: is a video of I mean, this is this is
[46:28] Speaker 2: just beyond sad. This young man is simply going into
[46:31] Speaker 2: a store and this came out to the trial. He's
[46:35] Speaker 2: accused of stealing. But rich child's wife followed him around
[46:39] Speaker 2: the entire time he was in the store. Mustafa, just
[46:42] Speaker 2: watch this. We'll stop for what's unbelievable here. You got
[49:33] Speaker 2: him on Survellis tape. If he stole something, turn it
[49:36] Speaker 2: into the cops. And I can tell you there been
[49:39] Speaker 2: numerous times that you saw when he walked in, they
[49:42] Speaker 2: made him put his backpack down so he couldn't walk
[49:46] Speaker 2: around the story. And with his backpack, there been numerous
[49:48] Speaker 2: times I walked into a convenience store and that's certain
[49:52] Speaker 2: things that I wanted and I'm looking for it.
[49:53] Speaker 3: I'm looking for it.
[49:54] Speaker 2: I'm okay, I don't see it, and I'm looking for
[49:56] Speaker 2: something else, and it's like, you know what, not looking
[49:59] Speaker 2: for what I want? So okay, I'm out that that
[50:04] Speaker 2: has changed their cost Cyrus his life.
[50:09] Speaker 15: H I mean, I'm having a hard time because I
[50:14] Speaker 15: saw my godsons and my nephews in that little boy's face.
[50:19] Speaker 15: And whether they say the dead can't cry out for justice,
[50:25] Speaker 15: only the living can do that. It's a shame that
[50:28] Speaker 15: they never see our humanity right They make assumptions right away,
[50:33] Speaker 15: and unfortunately we continue to support their businesses. So one
[50:38] Speaker 15: side of it is that we need to stop supporting
[50:41] Speaker 15: folks who don't see us as human, don't see the
[50:43] Speaker 15: value of us in so many different ways. The second part,
[50:48] Speaker 15: of course, is that there is no justification for chasing
[50:52] Speaker 15: a child, a young teenager across whatever that distance was
[50:58] Speaker 15: and then shooting them. I'm still confused with the charges,
[51:03] Speaker 15: like is murder the only thing that you could bring forward,
[51:06] Speaker 15: not manslaughter? There are different levels of murder, of course,
[51:10] Speaker 15: so I'm curious to learn more about that space. But
[51:13] Speaker 15: at the end of the day, you know a life
[51:15] Speaker 15: has been taken, a light has been extinguished.
[51:20] Speaker 1: And for many of those folks, when I.
[51:22] Speaker 15: Heard the court reporter asking the question, is this still
[51:27] Speaker 15: your vote, those folks still continued after everything they had seen,
[51:32] Speaker 15: after hearing those mothers cry, all the various things. There's
[51:37] Speaker 15: a sickness that exists inside of America, and we never
[51:41] Speaker 15: want to talk about it. Right there is a mental
[51:44] Speaker 15: and a spiritual sickness that exists inside of this country
[51:48] Speaker 15: that you could extinguish our lives. And they've been doing
[51:52] Speaker 15: it since the founding of this country, if you want
[51:55] Speaker 15: to talk about two hundred and fifty years, even though
[51:57] Speaker 15: it was happening before then, and this young man is
[52:00] Speaker 15: now a part of that extinguishing that continues to happen.
[52:04] Speaker 15: And until we speak out, until we take our dollars away,
[52:09] Speaker 15: until we vote like our life depends on it. And
[52:12] Speaker 15: people hear that and they think it is cliche ish,
[52:15] Speaker 15: but it is actually real, then many of these types
[52:19] Speaker 15: of things are going to continue to happen time and
[52:22] Speaker 15: time again.
[52:23] Speaker 3: We owe something to this young man.
[52:26] Speaker 15: We owe that we become better and that we demand
[52:29] Speaker 15: better There are other communities in our country of different
[52:33] Speaker 15: groups who never accept one step backwards, But we continue
[52:38] Speaker 15: to allow ourselves to slide backwards.
[52:43] Speaker 1: And we've got to change that.
[52:45] Speaker 15: And it's not just us, of course, it is others
[52:48] Speaker 15: as well, But we can't continue to allow these killing
[52:51] Speaker 15: fields to happen where our children are the ones that
[52:54] Speaker 15: are sacrificed time and time again.
[53:01] Speaker 2: In fact, this was posted on social this is the protection.
[53:05] Speaker 2: South Carolina police had a Rick Chiles gas station today,
[53:11] Speaker 2: nothing but police cars there. I guess they feared it
[53:15] Speaker 2: would be attacked or burned down. But a massive, massive
[53:20] Speaker 2: police presence at his convenience store. And you're absolutely right,
[53:25] Speaker 2: what should happen there? I dare say, massive, massive, massive,
[53:30] Speaker 2: massive pickets should go up and make it clear don't
[53:36] Speaker 2: buy gas from there.
[53:37] Speaker 3: You're black.
[53:39] Speaker 2: Hey, you shut it down by having economic withdrawal, Randy,
[53:42] Speaker 2: that's what should happen.
[53:45] Speaker 16: I wouldn't spend They couldn't sell me anything, Honey, I
[53:48] Speaker 16: would walk to somewhere if I rent out of gas
[53:51] Speaker 16: on the side of the road. We cannot continue to
[53:54] Speaker 16: spend money with people who outwardly cannot stand us. That
[53:58] Speaker 16: man murdered, murdered, that fourteen year old child. So there's
[54:03] Speaker 16: no way that I would buy anything, any water, any gas,
[54:08] Speaker 16: piece of candy, nothing, And they need to make it
[54:11] Speaker 16: where they have to go out of business.
[54:13] Speaker 5: He should not be rewarded for what he did. We
[54:16] Speaker 5: have to at a certain point take a stand.
[54:18] Speaker 16: And I know people say, I get tired of you
[54:20] Speaker 16: talking about voting, or I get tired of you talking
[54:23] Speaker 16: about protesting, but it's what works.
[54:26] Speaker 9: We have to do it.
[54:27] Speaker 5: We have to do it consistency, consistently, and be just
[54:30] Speaker 5: serious about it.
[54:32] Speaker 16: Fighting back is not convenient. I know that store may
[54:36] Speaker 16: be close to you, or you go to it all
[54:38] Speaker 16: the time, or they have your favorite slurpees or whatever.
[54:41] Speaker 22: Fighting for liberation, fighting for what we're fighting for is
[54:44] Speaker 22: not convenient, and all of us need to learn that
[54:47] Speaker 22: we are going to have to sacrifice some things to
[54:50] Speaker 22: get what we deserve because.
[54:51] Speaker 5: They're not going to give it to us.
[54:54] Speaker 3: Absolutely. All right, folks, I got to go to a break.

[57:11] Speaker 2: If you're in medicare or about to be, the system
[57:14] Speaker 2: is not set up to work for you. Too much fine,
[57:17] Speaker 2: too many plans and too many people making money.
[57:19] Speaker 3: Off of your confusion. And look, we're used to this.
[57:22] Speaker 2: We're no strangers to systems that don't have our best
[57:24] Speaker 2: interest at heart. But we don't have to accept it
[57:27] Speaker 2: when it comes to Medicare. That's why I'm telling you
[57:30] Speaker 2: about Chapter. Their advisors are independent and honest. In fact,
[57:35] Speaker 2: they're the only Medicare advisors that compare every plan nationwide,
[57:41] Speaker 2: and they're focused on one thing, what works for you.
[57:47] Speaker 2: If there's a better plan out there, they'll find it.
[57:50] Speaker 2: If you're already in the right one, they'll tell you
[57:52] Speaker 2: that too. There are no games. Just last year, people

[58:44] Speaker 2: Secondary saying Marco Rubio is a weasel. He is a
[58:48] Speaker 2: Trump Sinko fan and a Maga ass kisser, and today

[58:58] Speaker 2: Senator Corey Booker.
[59:00] Speaker 4: Watch Schquel, You and I talked a lot about Africa,
[59:04] Speaker 4: and I raised concerns about a lot of the cuts
[59:07] Speaker 4: we're seeing globally and increase in tuberculosis, an increase in
[59:12] Speaker 4: malaria cases. We see it continued ongoing on the continent
[59:16] Speaker 4: HIV crisis, and the United States has pulled back from
[59:19] Speaker 4: a lot of its investments in those areas. Now with
[59:21] Speaker 4: the crisis with the Bola, we see that the challenges
[59:26] Speaker 4: that have been brought about as a result of our surveillance,
[59:29] Speaker 4: early detection, and the like. So I'm just very concerned
[59:32] Speaker 4: about what the administration's strategy is because we're clearly seeing
[59:36] Speaker 4: here that what goes on in the continent of Africa
[59:39] Speaker 4: directly affects our public health as well.
[59:41] Speaker 3: Well.
[59:42] Speaker 24: First of all, I don't agree with that assessment. I mean,
[59:44] Speaker 24: first of all, it's not about cutting back. The response
[59:46] Speaker 24: here is not just how much money you spent, it's
[59:48] Speaker 24: what results you're going to get. Now, let's talk about
[59:50] Speaker 24: Ebola for a second. Ebola, the outbreaking Ebola was in
[59:53] Speaker 24: a war torn, isolated rural area in the DRC. That's
[59:57] Speaker 24: where that began. Since that time, our response has been
[1:00:00] Speaker 24: very quick, very rapid.
[1:00:01] Speaker 4: Well, so you're saying you did not cut early detection, Pieros,
[1:00:04] Speaker 4: I'm not talking.
[1:00:05] Speaker 24: I'm saying that whatever you're pointing to is the cut
[1:00:06] Speaker 24: is not the reason why there was in Ebola.
[1:00:08] Speaker 4: I'm not connecting the two. I'm simply saying, well, you
[1:00:10] Speaker 4: are connecting, and I said that our cuts in a ruby.
[1:00:12] Speaker 4: I'm not trying to get in an argument with you.
[1:00:13] Speaker 4: I would really like to actually have my questions answered
[1:00:16] Speaker 4: so very quickly we cut early detections when it comes
[1:00:20] Speaker 4: to infectious diseases on the continent. Factually, this is not
[1:00:24] Speaker 4: an opinion. We made those cuts. We cut early warning
[1:00:28] Speaker 4: systems on the continent.
[1:00:30] Speaker 1: It had nothing to do with the Ebola outbreak.
[1:00:33] Speaker 4: So I don't need to tell you, Secretary Rubio, that
[1:00:37] Speaker 4: we're living in a place where in an infectious disease
[1:00:39] Speaker 4: crisis anywhere is a threat to public health everywhere. The
[1:00:42] Speaker 4: United States has made major reductions in these areas that
[1:00:45] Speaker 4: have put us at more at risk. If you're talking
[1:00:47] Speaker 4: about this clearly Ebola crisis, there's other things and other
[1:00:50] Speaker 4: cuts we've made and you see it. Factually, even our
[1:00:52] Speaker 4: own even our own safe Department of Personnel that I've
[1:00:56] Speaker 4: talked to, are saying we're less prepared for outbreak than
[1:01:00] Speaker 4: we were before. And my worry is specifically in a
[1:01:03] Speaker 4: budget hearing, is this budget makes even deeper cuts into
[1:01:07] Speaker 4: the kind of things that can prevent the next outbreak
[1:01:09] Speaker 4: or as we've seen with unfortunately with COVID, have us
[1:01:14] Speaker 4: more prepared.
[1:01:15] Speaker 24: Yeah, I don't agree with that assessment. I don't know
[1:01:16] Speaker 24: who told you that at the State Department.
[1:01:18] Speaker 4: So my time is limited.
[1:01:20] Speaker 1: I know that's what I don't want to eat up
[1:01:22] Speaker 1: your time, but I to answer that because.
[1:01:24] Speaker 4: I just don't agree with that's your secretary. You can't
[1:01:25] Speaker 4: even agree on the facts.
[1:01:27] Speaker 1: We do not act. That's not accurate. I mean again,
[1:01:29] Speaker 1: you look at what we've entered into it.
[1:01:31] Speaker 4: It's not accurate that we cut early detection.
[1:01:34] Speaker 24: Because those have all been repurposed and different arrangements that
[1:01:37] Speaker 24: we now have with these countries as an example.
[1:01:38] Speaker 4: When well, I would like for the record because we're
[1:01:40] Speaker 4: not going to cover it in my short time. If
[1:01:42] Speaker 4: you're telling me we are as prepared or more prepared
[1:01:46] Speaker 4: before the Trump administration came in, I'd like to see
[1:01:48] Speaker 4: the fire.
[1:01:48] Speaker 24: I think when these reforms are finalized, which are on
[1:01:50] Speaker 24: the verge of doing, we're actually going to be better prepared.
[1:01:52] Speaker 1: We are. We are responding today.
[1:01:54] Speaker 24: Faster, not just to humanitarian crisis but to outbreaks than
[1:01:57] Speaker 24: we were before. We are responding in some cases within
[1:01:59] Speaker 24: seventy two hours, are able to move funds to task
[1:02:02] Speaker 24: which you weren't able to do in the old system.
[1:02:04] Speaker 1: And we're also building the capacity.
[1:02:08] Speaker 4: Man, please reclaim my time to shift gears. The straight
[1:02:10] Speaker 4: up from Moose. I was listening to their conversations you
[1:02:12] Speaker 4: had with some of my colleagues. We've now seen the
[1:02:15] Speaker 4: straight clothes for months, and you explain that we're going
[1:02:20] Speaker 4: to see an opening of the strait and the ultimately
[1:02:23] Speaker 4: the exchange we will get for that is after that
[1:02:26] Speaker 4: fact we will release certain sanctions. Is that correct?
[1:02:30] Speaker 1: No, that's not what I said.
[1:02:31] Speaker 24: What I said was, are we if they open the straits,
[1:02:34] Speaker 24: we will lift our blockade the straits in the blockade
[1:02:36] Speaker 24: or what are interrelated and.
[1:02:37] Speaker 4: So for the nuclear program in exchange for getting rid
[1:02:42] Speaker 4: of the fiscal material out of country, I imagine is
[1:02:45] Speaker 4: what you're the highly enrich uranium. We would release sanctions.
[1:02:48] Speaker 4: Is that correct?
[1:02:49] Speaker 24: Well, and it's not just that, it's also they're enrichment activity.
[1:02:51] Speaker 24: They would have to you know, they've made very severe
[1:02:53] Speaker 24: and significant concessions on what they intend to.
[1:02:56] Speaker 4: And already with the March reli actually of sanctions allowing
[1:03:03] Speaker 4: Iranians to sell oil to the Chinese, estimates have been
[1:03:06] Speaker 4: between ten and fifty billion dollars they got from that
[1:03:09] Speaker 4: relaxing of sanctions. How much money might we see in
[1:03:13] Speaker 4: a deal, you know, relaxs of sanctions in order to
[1:03:17] Speaker 4: get rid of the highly enriching range and stop there enriching.
[1:03:19] Speaker 1: Well, let me just tell you on that portion.
[1:03:21] Speaker 24: The sanctions that were released on Iran were boats on
[1:03:23] Speaker 24: the water, and so that oil is already out in
[1:03:26] Speaker 24: the marketplace. That was sold at market rates, but the
[1:03:29] Speaker 24: sanctions covered and to the extent we've been able to
[1:03:31] Speaker 24: enforce them, we have the revenues of those sales. So, yeah,
[1:03:34] Speaker 24: the oil, the Iranian oil was unsanctioned so that it
[1:03:37] Speaker 24: could be sold, but the revenue would have to flow
[1:03:39] Speaker 24: back to blocked accounts, which our sanctions were able to
[1:03:41] Speaker 24: go after.
[1:03:42] Speaker 1: We've also seized I believe six.
[1:03:43] Speaker 24: Vessels in the Indo Pacific that involved the Iranian sanctioned
[1:03:46] Speaker 24: oil on top of it, so that wasn't necessarily a trade.
[1:03:49] Speaker 24: They didn't get fifty billion dollars directly as a result
[1:03:51] Speaker 24: of They might have gotten some of it, they certainly
[1:03:52] Speaker 24: didn't get the majority of it. They are now losing
[1:03:55] Speaker 24: hundreds of millions of dollars a day in revenue because
[1:03:57] Speaker 24: of the blockade, and the blockade is exists because of
[1:04:00] Speaker 24: what they're doing in the Straits.
[1:04:02] Speaker 4: Right, And I guess the conclusion I have in my
[1:04:05] Speaker 4: time has expired is that the Straight of Removes was
[1:04:08] Speaker 4: open before this unjustified war. We're now scrambling to try
[1:04:14] Speaker 4: to find a way to get it back opened again.
[1:04:16] Speaker 4: Not only is it causing economic havoc to our country
[1:04:19] Speaker 4: and to residents all around this nation, families trying to
[1:04:22] Speaker 4: make ends meet, but you see on top of that
[1:04:25] Speaker 4: the Iranians finding ways to leverage that as we allowed
[1:04:29] Speaker 4: them to do with the Chinese for tens of billions
[1:04:31] Speaker 4: of dollars. And so my point is before we even
[1:04:34] Speaker 4: get to a nuclear negotiation, this regime is getting money
[1:04:38] Speaker 4: to rebuild, purchase more drones, cause more havoc. And this
[1:04:43] Speaker 4: is before we're even trying to get back to it.
[1:04:45] Speaker 24: I apologize, I don't understand how they're getting this. What
[1:04:47] Speaker 24: revenue are referring to.
[1:04:48] Speaker 4: Well, there's two sources of revenue we're seeing. One is
[1:04:51] Speaker 4: the revenue from the Chinese that's factually documented, and number two,
[1:04:55] Speaker 4: the revenue that you're proposing that they should receive by
[1:04:57] Speaker 4: releasing all of their highly enriched uranium them as well
[1:05:01] Speaker 4: as in making a commitment about their enrichment capacity. Hold on,
[1:05:05] Speaker 4: and that was the exact deal that you guys vilified
[1:05:10] Speaker 4: that the president and you villified President Obama from having
[1:05:15] Speaker 4: we have a worse situation. Our adversary and our enemy,
[1:05:21] Speaker 4: who's causing havoc in the region, who is funding proxies
[1:05:24] Speaker 4: and terrorists, has discovered thanks to you all the power
[1:05:28] Speaker 4: of shutting down the straight of her moves.
[1:05:30] Speaker 1: They didn't they knew that a long time ago.
[1:05:32] Speaker 4: The well, clearly we all knew that a long time ago.
[1:05:35] Speaker 4: That's why this war should have never happened. But have
[1:05:39] Speaker 4: made our adversary in a stronger negotiating position. We are
[1:05:43] Speaker 4: the strongest nation on the planet Earth, and we're in
[1:05:45] Speaker 4: a stalemate with Iran, and now we're begging to get
[1:05:49] Speaker 4: back into a deal. That you all trashed in the
[1:05:52] Speaker 4: first place. Be clearly this is Booker times up.
[1:05:59] Speaker 1: Because they go to the part of the matter. No
[1:06:00] Speaker 1: one's begging for anything here.
[1:06:02] Speaker 24: The Iranians might be begging because their economy is losing
[1:06:05] Speaker 24: hundreds and millions of dollars a day that they are losing.
[1:06:07] Speaker 1: Understand, Iran had street protests going on before all of
[1:06:11] Speaker 1: this started. All of those factors.
[1:06:12] Speaker 24: Economic factors in Iran are far worse today than they
[1:06:15] Speaker 24: were six months ago when those protests were happening. They
[1:06:18] Speaker 24: have hyperinflation, their currency is completely devalued. They're struggling to
[1:06:22] Speaker 24: make payroll for their government workers. Iran is in a
[1:06:24] Speaker 24: very serious situation. And if it was up to the
[1:06:27] Speaker 24: political class there, and I understand everybody there is sort
[1:06:29] Speaker 24: of radical in some way, but if it was up
[1:06:31] Speaker 24: to the people, it actually like go to elections and
[1:06:33] Speaker 24: wear the suits and you see on TV they probably
[1:06:35] Speaker 24: make a deal tomorrow. It's the issue they're facing is
[1:06:38] Speaker 24: that the supreme leader in the IRGC corps are a
[1:06:40] Speaker 24: little bit more immune from those.
[1:06:41] Speaker 1: Pressures until they can be convinced otherwise.
[1:06:44] Speaker 24: And I think that's the direction that they're moving in
[1:06:46] Speaker 24: because the reality there I don't know where you're getting
[1:06:48] Speaker 24: this perception that Iran is stronger. Iran has no navy left,
[1:06:51] Speaker 24: They've lost a substantial percentage of their defense industrial base,
[1:06:54] Speaker 24: that Iran has lost a substantial percentage of their missile launchers,
[1:06:57] Speaker 24: and their economy is far worse today. And I'm far
[1:07:00] Speaker 24: worse today than it was six to nine months ago.
[1:07:02] Speaker 24: And they are looking at hundreds of billions of dollars
[1:07:05] Speaker 24: of reconstruction costs just to get to where they were
[1:07:07] Speaker 24: six Z.
[1:07:08] Speaker 4: You keep telling us how we're winning this war. The
[1:07:10] Speaker 4: President keeps saying, well, the war's o complearly annihilated. The
[1:07:13] Speaker 4: war is not over. And yet the American people see
[1:07:16] Speaker 4: how we're losing at the pump and with their costs,
[1:07:19] Speaker 4: and yet this thing still hasn't been resolved. Every day
[1:07:22] Speaker 4: he tweets out, Oh, we've obliterated them, We've annihilated them.
[1:07:25] Speaker 4: They're gonna surrender. But yet we still find ourselves spending
[1:07:28] Speaker 4: billions of dollars a week.
[1:07:30] Speaker 19: Bok, it one gone way over.
[1:07:32] Speaker 4: And it would be nice if we had hearings were people,
[1:07:35] Speaker 4: thank you, Senator Brook.
[1:07:37] Speaker 2: These folks are massive liars, most up massive liars.
[1:07:40] Speaker 3: One he's lying. The war's not over, Okay, every Oh
[1:07:45] Speaker 3: we're negotiating. We're not. We're negotiating. We're not.
[1:07:47] Speaker 2: We're gonna bomba them, We're not. Oh, we're not gonna
[1:07:49] Speaker 2: give them anything. They trash Obama about returning one point
[1:07:53] Speaker 2: seven billion, and they literally are talking about sending upwards
[1:07:56] Speaker 2: of three hundred billion to Iran. That sounds like to me,
[1:08:02] Speaker 2: all for negotiating.
[1:08:05] Speaker 15: It's horrible negotiating on the international front and on the
[1:08:09] Speaker 15: domestic front. On the domestic front, everybody is eating these
[1:08:12] Speaker 15: costs a billion dollars a day for this war that
[1:08:15] Speaker 15: continues on. And you know, folks have talked about it,
[1:08:18] Speaker 15: everything from gas prices, utility prices, food prices, and a
[1:08:23] Speaker 15: number of other types of things.
[1:08:25] Speaker 9: You know.
[1:08:25] Speaker 15: The other part of it is is that you know,
[1:08:28] Speaker 15: they know that the plan that was in place in
[1:08:31] Speaker 15: twenty fifteen, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. You know,
[1:08:35] Speaker 15: people call it the Obama Iran Plan, but that's not
[1:08:37] Speaker 15: the proper name for it. You know, the things that
[1:08:39] Speaker 15: they're talking about were already inside of that plan, and
[1:08:42] Speaker 15: we're working. You know, they had what was it I
[1:08:45] Speaker 15: forget was they reduced their stockpile by ninety eight percent,
[1:08:48] Speaker 15: and they cut two thirds of their operating centrifuges, and
[1:08:52] Speaker 15: you know a number of other things. There was extensive
[1:08:54] Speaker 15: inspections that were going on all the things that the
[1:08:57] Speaker 15: international community ask for, because that plan had both the
[1:09:02] Speaker 15: United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the European Union.
[1:09:06] Speaker 15: Even Russia was a part of that to make sure
[1:09:09] Speaker 15: that they were addressing the nuclear program that was there.
[1:09:13] Speaker 15: And now here come these guys right in that first
[1:09:15] Speaker 15: term when Trump actually pulled out of the plan and
[1:09:19] Speaker 15: they began, you know the process of breaking down everything
[1:09:23] Speaker 15: that was done, and then you know, having Iran begin
[1:09:27] Speaker 15: to go back to their old ways. By no means
[1:09:30] Speaker 15: is Iran a good player. But there was a process
[1:09:33] Speaker 15: and a plan that was in place. So when you
[1:09:35] Speaker 15: ask the question do they lie, they're lying intentionally. They're
[1:09:39] Speaker 15: lying not only about the war that's going on, they're
[1:09:42] Speaker 15: also lying about, you know, the huge amount of money
[1:09:45] Speaker 15: that's tied up here, which will end up coming from
[1:09:47] Speaker 15: taxpayer dollars in some form or sense. They'll say it
[1:09:50] Speaker 15: comes from other places, but it always ends up coming
[1:09:52] Speaker 15: out of our pockets. And they're also making the world
[1:09:56] Speaker 15: a much more dangerous place, and they're never honest about that.
[1:10:00] Speaker 15: If you messed up, you messed up. Just call it
[1:10:03] Speaker 15: what it is and then figure out how it's got
[1:10:05] Speaker 15: to be fixed. But that's not a part of their
[1:10:07] Speaker 15: plan because they want people to actually believe they know
[1:10:09] Speaker 15: what they're doing, and unfortunately they don't. And because they don't,
[1:10:13] Speaker 15: it's putting people's lives in danger, and it is actually
[1:10:17] Speaker 15: impacting our economy and the world economy and making it
[1:10:20] Speaker 15: teeter in many places.
[1:10:22] Speaker 3: And the reality, Khalil is they lie. They lie over
[1:10:26] Speaker 3: and over and over again.
[1:10:27] Speaker 2: You literally can't trust anything that comes out of their mouths.
[1:10:33] Speaker 17: Yes, that's true. I'm not disagreeing with you there, but
[1:10:35] Speaker 17: I think history is also context. We forget that in
[1:10:38] Speaker 17: nineteen fifty three, for twenty five years we were involved,
[1:10:41] Speaker 17: America was involved in a coup to change the monarchy
[1:10:45] Speaker 17: in Iran. Imagine somebody coming to the United States and say, hey,
[1:10:48] Speaker 17: we're going to redo all this stuff and we're going
[1:10:50] Speaker 17: to set you up so somebody is more compliant to
[1:10:53] Speaker 17: our will, and then a revolution happens in nineteen seventy nine,
[1:10:56] Speaker 17: and since then now.
[1:10:58] Speaker 9: They are people we don't want to work with.
[1:11:00] Speaker 17: So I would I ran as this complex understanding and
[1:11:04] Speaker 17: organism that we created. Like I remember watching Rocky.
[1:11:08] Speaker 9: As a kid. I think, oh, no, Rambo three is
[1:11:10] Speaker 9: a kid.
[1:11:11] Speaker 17: And at the end it talks about the US being
[1:11:14] Speaker 17: part of with the Mudraden and working with the Ufghanic people.
[1:11:17] Speaker 9: And then all of a sudden we get nine eleven.
[1:11:20] Speaker 17: And there are historical reasons why certain countries at the
[1:11:27] Speaker 17: way that they do, and they set up and it's
[1:11:29] Speaker 17: like the Trump administration.
[1:11:30] Speaker 9: Forgets all of these things. Oh, we're going to erase that.
[1:11:34] Speaker 17: And then when you're called out on it, because I remember,
[1:11:37] Speaker 17: gas prices were supposed to be under two dollars, egg
[1:11:40] Speaker 17: prices were supposed.
[1:11:41] Speaker 13: To be cheap.
[1:11:41] Speaker 17: It was going to be the amazing economic rebirth and
[1:11:44] Speaker 17: reboom that we were supposed to have in this country.
[1:11:46] Speaker 17: And Bidenomics wasn't working. Your life was terrible. Things were crazy.
[1:11:51] Speaker 17: But I know what it costs now to fill up
[1:11:53] Speaker 17: my car. Even if I put sixty five dollars in,
[1:11:55] Speaker 17: I'm not getting a full tank. I you know, back
[1:11:58] Speaker 17: and forth to drop my doughter off. It's well, so
[1:12:01] Speaker 17: what is disingenuous about this administration is one giving no
[1:12:04] Speaker 17: context to history two, lying boldy in our faces, and
[1:12:08] Speaker 17: I think we're seeing it at the ballot box. So
[1:12:11] Speaker 17: many Americans are co like, hey, what I believed in
[1:12:14] Speaker 17: isn't really shaking out. I'm watching because I can see
[1:12:18] Speaker 17: it publicly. The administration, whether it's the President or his children,
[1:12:21] Speaker 17: they're getting enriched off of trading stocks in the White
[1:12:25] Speaker 17: House while they're seeing it.
[1:12:26] Speaker 9: Friends of his are getting enriched. But my four oh
[1:12:29] Speaker 9: one K is being depleted.
[1:12:31] Speaker 17: The money that I put aside for Gasser for the
[1:12:33] Speaker 17: summer is going away, and my life is no better
[1:12:36] Speaker 17: than where it was two years ago, Randy.
[1:12:42] Speaker 3: You know.
[1:12:42] Speaker 16: And usually Trump has been able to get away with
[1:12:45] Speaker 16: his lies because his base doesn't research anything.
[1:12:48] Speaker 5: They just believe what he says. But now they're having
[1:12:51] Speaker 5: to live the truth. So he can say that the
[1:12:53] Speaker 5: war is over, he can say that it's been successful, but.
[1:12:56] Speaker 16: They know came out today it's been one hundred billion
[1:12:59] Speaker 16: dollar dollars that it's called American families.
[1:13:02] Speaker 5: There is nothing that we can do today that we
[1:13:04] Speaker 5: are not feeling the weight of this war.
[1:13:07] Speaker 16: You know, just like talking about gas crisis, I just
[1:13:09] Speaker 16: feel my tink it was like ninety six dollars I could.
[1:13:13] Speaker 11: Not believe it.
[1:13:15] Speaker 16: You know, groceries are higher, just buying something online is higher.
[1:13:18] Speaker 16: It's affecting all American families. So the lies are being
[1:13:23] Speaker 16: revealed somewhat somewhat because we know the lie. We know
[1:13:26] Speaker 16: he's going to say that this has been good for us,
[1:13:29] Speaker 16: But it's the truth, isn't how life is for us
[1:13:31] Speaker 16: right now?
[1:13:34] Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't trust anything that they say. Uh,
[1:13:38] Speaker 2: And I don't give a damn who you are. I
[1:13:42] Speaker 2: don't care what you say. I don't care how you
[1:13:47] Speaker 2: can sit here and defend you know, these lies. And
[1:13:51] Speaker 2: the bottom line is I do not in any way
[1:13:56] Speaker 2: possible support Marco Rubio. There's nothing that Marco Rubio says
[1:14:04] Speaker 2: that I will listen to, especially as relates to Trump.
[1:14:07] Speaker 3: And just in case y'all forgot, remember this.
[1:14:11] Speaker 24: Here's what happens in many countries around the world. You
[1:14:13] Speaker 24: have a leader that emerges and basically says, forget, don't
[1:14:16] Speaker 24: put your faith in yourselves, don't put your faith in society,
[1:14:19] Speaker 24: put your faith in me. I'm a strong leader, and
[1:14:21] Speaker 24: I'm going to make things better by all by myself.
[1:14:23] Speaker 24: This is very typical. You see it in the Third world.
[1:14:25] Speaker 24: You see it a lot in Latin America for decades.
[1:14:28] Speaker 24: It's basically the argument he's making that he single handedly
[1:14:31] Speaker 24: is going to turn the country around. We've never been
[1:14:33] Speaker 24: that kind of country. We have a president. The president
[1:14:36] Speaker 24: is an American citizen who serves for a period of
[1:14:38] Speaker 24: time constrained by the constitutions and the powers vested in
[1:14:42] Speaker 24: that office. The president works for the people, not the
[1:14:45] Speaker 24: people for the president. And if you listen to the
[1:14:47] Speaker 24: way he describes himself and what he's going to do,
[1:14:49] Speaker 24: he's going to single handedly do this and do that
[1:14:52] Speaker 24: without regard for whether it's legal or not.
[1:14:55] Speaker 9: Look, I think people are.
[1:14:56] Speaker 1: Going to have to make up their mind.
[1:14:57] Speaker 24: I can tell you this, no matter what happens in
[1:14:59] Speaker 24: this elec for years to come, there are many people
[1:15:03] Speaker 24: on the right, in the media and voters at large
[1:15:05] Speaker 24: that are going to be having to explain and justify
[1:15:08] Speaker 24: how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump
[1:15:11] Speaker 24: because this is not going to end well one way
[1:15:12] Speaker 24: or the other. He's going to be the nominee and
[1:15:15] Speaker 24: he's going to lose or he'll have thrown this party
[1:15:17] Speaker 24: into its most chaotic and.
[1:15:19] Speaker 9: Divisive period ever.
[1:15:20] Speaker 24: And that's unfortunate because the Republican Party is the home
[1:15:23] Speaker 24: of the limited government, free enterprise movement in America, and
[1:15:26] Speaker 24: if it crumbles or divides, or it splits it apart,
[1:15:30] Speaker 24: it'll be very difficult to elect candidates that hold those
[1:15:32] Speaker 24: views at any level of government until we can bring
[1:15:36] Speaker 24: the party back together.
[1:15:37] Speaker 2: Really, I just want people to not forget the stuff
[1:15:45] Speaker 2: that they used to say before they started kissing as
[1:15:50] Speaker 2: much Trump as as possible. I remember when Ted Cruz
[1:15:55] Speaker 2: was saying the same thing, and so yeah, let's never
[1:15:59] Speaker 2: ever ever allow little Marco.
[1:16:03] Speaker 3: Remember that's what Trump used to call him.
[1:16:06] Speaker 2: Let's not ever let him off the hook and get
[1:16:11] Speaker 2: him to walk away from the things that he asked
[1:16:13] Speaker 2: he used to say about Donald Trump.
[1:16:15] Speaker 3: So we're gonna keep reminding you, little Marco. I'm gonna
[1:16:21] Speaker 3: go to a break. We'll be right back. Roland Martin
[1:16:23] Speaker 3: unfiltered on the Black Start Network.
[1:16:27] Speaker 2: All right, folks, let me tell you about chapter Now.
[1:16:29] Speaker 2: If you're a medicare or about to be, the system
[1:16:33] Speaker 2: is not set up to work for you. Too much fine,
[1:16:36] Speaker 2: too many plans, or too many people making money.
[1:16:38] Speaker 3: Off of your confusion. And look, we're used to this.
[1:16:40] Speaker 2: We're no strangers to systems that don't have our best
[1:16:43] Speaker 2: interest at heart, but we don't have to accept it
[1:16:46] Speaker 2: when it comes to Medicare. That's why I'm telling you
[1:16:48] Speaker 2: about Chapter. Their advisors are independent and honest. In fact,
[1:16:54] Speaker 2: they're the only Medicare advisors that compare every plan nationwide,
[1:17:00] Speaker 2: and they're focused on one thing, what works for you.
[1:17:05] Speaker 2: If there's a better plan out there, they'll find it.
[1:17:08] Speaker 3: If you're already in the right one, they'll tell you
[1:17:11] Speaker 3: that too. There are no games.
[1:17:13] Speaker 2: Just last year, people who switched with Chapter saved an
[1:17:16] Speaker 2: average up eleven hundred dollars. It's twenty minutes and a
[1:17:20] Speaker 2: real person. It's completely free. My parents actually have already
[1:17:25] Speaker 2: called Mom sent me a text. Folks, give Chapter a
[1:17:29] Speaker 2: call at seven two four two sixty four eight two
[1:17:31] Speaker 2: eight one seven two four two sixty four A two
[1:17:34] Speaker 2: eight one and.
[1:17:35] Speaker 3: Connect with someone you can trust. Folks.
[1:17:38] Speaker 2: These are the kind of services that we need for
[1:17:40] Speaker 2: our audience here at Roland Martin, nonfiltered and the Blackstar Network.
[1:17:44] Speaker 2: So call Chapter right now seven two four two sixty
[1:17:48] Speaker 2: four eight to eight one.
[1:17:50] Speaker 9: How you doing it?
[1:17:51] Speaker 3: I'm Mark Curry, and you're watching the black Star Network.
[1:17:54] Speaker 3: That's why I got these glass long That black Star is.
[1:17:56] Speaker 2: Bright black voters of Alabama urge the Supreme Court to
[1:18:21] Speaker 2: reject the state's emergency request to use a congressional map
[1:18:24] Speaker 2: with only one majority black district in the midterms, the
[1:18:27] Speaker 2: map the lower courts have repeatedly found intentionally discriminatory. Alabama
[1:18:32] Speaker 2: Republicans want the justices to pause in lawer courts ruling
[1:18:35] Speaker 2: that blocked the state from using the twenty twenty three
[1:18:38] Speaker 2: map and let it move forward with the map for
[1:18:41] Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six midterms. The filing is the latest
[1:18:43] Speaker 2: development in the states years long fight to avoid drawing
[1:18:47] Speaker 2: a congressional map that would give black voters a fair
[1:18:50] Speaker 2: opportunity to elect candidates of their choice into district districts.
[1:18:54] Speaker 2: Black residents make up more than a quarter of Alabama's population. Still,
[1:18:58] Speaker 2: the state's Republican control legislature has repeatedly tried to lock
[1:19:01] Speaker 2: in and map with just one majority black district out
[1:19:04] Speaker 2: of seven. Now Mississippi, a federal judge's rule of the
[1:19:08] Speaker 2: state Supreme Court's election districts violated the Voting Rights Act
[1:19:12] Speaker 2: and that black candidates seeking to run for the state's
[1:19:14] Speaker 2: highest court were unlikely to succeed. Yeah, this is all
[1:19:19] Speaker 2: resort of Kalay Us District Court Judge Sharon Acock instructed
[1:19:22] Speaker 2: lawmakers to draw a new map to give black voters
[1:19:25] Speaker 2: more power, with court order special elections to follow, likely
[1:19:28] Speaker 2: this fall. And those changes have not happened since the
[1:19:31] Speaker 2: conservative led Supreme Court's Kalay decision that dramatically weakened the
[1:19:35] Speaker 2: Voting Rights Act, making it much harder for racial minoritists
[1:19:38] Speaker 2: to win voting discrimination lawsuits. Now, let's talk Louisiana. White
[1:19:42] Speaker 2: folks there who were successful in the Kalay case, they
[1:19:45] Speaker 2: now y'ah no lie. They now are still mad. They
[1:19:50] Speaker 2: don't just want to get rid of the congressional seat
[1:19:52] Speaker 2: that Representative Clio Fields. They want to wipe out the
[1:19:55] Speaker 2: seat of Congress Van Troy Carter. They are claiming that
[1:19:58] Speaker 2: that is a racial gerrymander. Bottom line here, Khalil, look
[1:20:02] Speaker 2: at all of this here, and I keep saying this,
[1:20:05] Speaker 2: this is about. This is an attack on Black America.
[1:20:08] Speaker 2: This is the defund Black America. This is to wipe
[1:20:10] Speaker 2: out black political power. I mean, I've been yelling and
[1:20:13] Speaker 2: screaming this since two thousand and nine. I've been talking
[1:20:16] Speaker 2: about white fear and what's going on and black people,
[1:20:20] Speaker 2: especially black men had better wake the hell up and
[1:20:24] Speaker 2: realize that these white Republicans and I won't give.
[1:20:28] Speaker 3: A damn if you got some of these negroes who
[1:20:30] Speaker 3: voted for.
[1:20:30] Speaker 2: Trump and they're running around talk about old man, I
[1:20:33] Speaker 2: got money in my pockets.
[1:20:35] Speaker 3: These white folks today want to wipe.
[1:20:38] Speaker 2: Out black political power just as aggressively as they did
[1:20:42] Speaker 2: in the late eighteen hundreds after Reconstruction.
[1:20:46] Speaker 17: Brother, I what is also telling to me is where
[1:20:50] Speaker 17: our supposed allies are in this fight. You know, I
[1:20:53] Speaker 17: love Ben s Evans and the role he plays in
[1:20:55] Speaker 17: a tweet that he put out calling out Sanders standers.
[1:20:58] Speaker 17: I know so many brothers and sisters who showed up
[1:21:02] Speaker 17: to support a lot of white candidates who are on
[1:21:04] Speaker 17: the democratic and progressive side, but far too often we
[1:21:07] Speaker 17: have heard crickets from them. Since the Calaid decision. We
[1:21:11] Speaker 17: have not come in to see massive movements that they've
[1:21:14] Speaker 17: joined us. Now there have been some, but into the
[1:21:16] Speaker 17: large degree that we need our friends to show up
[1:21:20] Speaker 17: to help us. But this is again being born in
[1:21:22] Speaker 17: the backs of so many black brothers and sisters from
[1:21:25] Speaker 17: Louisiana to Alabama, to Mississippi, to Tennessee to Florida to
[1:21:30] Speaker 17: Missouri to Washington State and others. And so yes, I
[1:21:35] Speaker 17: am concerned about those brothers who vote on the other
[1:21:38] Speaker 17: side that I disagree with. But I am equally, if
[1:21:40] Speaker 17: not more, concerned about the people who call me friend,
[1:21:43] Speaker 17: who want to show up and then ask our communities
[1:21:46] Speaker 17: when they feel hurt or they feel a slight from
[1:21:50] Speaker 17: this administration. We can't hear from them. It is crickets,
[1:21:53] Speaker 17: it's silence. There is a group tech spread from some
[1:21:56] Speaker 17: alumni from a campaign that I asked recently. There were
[1:22:00] Speaker 17: of other chats going on at the time, but very
[1:22:02] Speaker 17: few were talking about voting rights. Very few were talking
[1:22:06] Speaker 17: about what it means. Can I come with you in
[1:22:08] Speaker 17: joining this movement. I'm not making a correlation between this
[1:22:14] Speaker 17: and Roe v. Wade and the Dobb's decision, But what
[1:22:17] Speaker 17: I am drawing contrast in is when the job decision
[1:22:21] Speaker 17: came down, when it was telegraph that it was going
[1:22:23] Speaker 17: to come down, there was massive movements to organize. There
[1:22:27] Speaker 17: were emails and text messages coming out of not only
[1:22:31] Speaker 17: from Democratic Party but progressive groups on a regular consistent basis,
[1:22:36] Speaker 17: And then there was money being flowed into those three
[1:22:39] Speaker 17: and C four organizations in a nonpartisan way or in
[1:22:42] Speaker 17: an education way to make sure people understood what was
[1:22:46] Speaker 17: happening that's not happening right now. Far too often a
[1:22:49] Speaker 17: lot of our groups are struggling to do this work,
[1:22:52] Speaker 17: and not just national groups. There are so many amazing organizers.
[1:22:56] Speaker 17: What Kenya Clinton in Mississippi, you know, Washington in Louisiana,
[1:23:01] Speaker 17: Gary Chambers in Louisiana. I'm blanking on some of my
[1:23:05] Speaker 17: brothers and sisters, who Chris Moseley in Birmingham, Alabama. There
[1:23:10] Speaker 17: are amazing people who are doing this work. And then
[1:23:12] Speaker 17: finally Roland two brothers. Now was the opportunity. I know
[1:23:16] Speaker 17: it was said in twenty twenty four that we were
[1:23:18] Speaker 17: the second voting block, just behind black women. I love
[1:23:22] Speaker 17: to be the first. I would love that brothers show out,
[1:23:25] Speaker 17: of course, I would love it. I'm gonna be like
[1:23:27] Speaker 17: our pastor. I can't tell you who to vote for,
[1:23:28] Speaker 17: but I'm telling you I'm voting for. I would love
[1:23:30] Speaker 17: it if you voted the.
[1:23:31] Speaker 9: Way that I did, but I need you to get
[1:23:32] Speaker 9: to the voting booth.
[1:23:33] Speaker 3: That wasn't just twenty twenty four.
[1:23:35] Speaker 2: It's always been the case reality as Black men have
[1:23:37] Speaker 2: always been the second largest voting block behind black women
[1:23:40] Speaker 2: for Democrats. For Randy, here's my whole deal. I look
[1:23:43] Speaker 2: at my house. I gotta look at my house before
[1:23:47] Speaker 2: I look at somebody else's house. And so I don't
[1:23:49] Speaker 2: give a shit about those white allies. What I'm looking
[1:23:52] Speaker 2: at are black people. And what I know that if
[1:23:55] Speaker 2: black people vote our numbers. Gary Chambers has talked about it.
[1:23:59] Speaker 2: The reason those constitutional midments in Louisiana lost because black
[1:24:04] Speaker 2: people voted in early voting and on election day.
[1:24:09] Speaker 3: And so what I am saying he is to black people.
[1:24:12] Speaker 2: I don't even shit about these white allies, Okay, because
[1:24:16] Speaker 2: they're gonna do what they do.
[1:24:17] Speaker 3: And that is be white.
[1:24:18] Speaker 2: But what I'm saying, and in fact, what I need
[1:24:20] Speaker 2: those white allies to do. I don't need them coming
[1:24:23] Speaker 2: talking to black people. I need them going to talk
[1:24:25] Speaker 2: to white people. In Louisiana, in Mississippi, in Alabama, we
[1:24:30] Speaker 2: got to black people. What I am saying, Randy, if
[1:24:33] Speaker 2: black people vote our numbers, if we vote at seventy
[1:24:38] Speaker 2: percent minimum of our numbers in Texas, in Louisiana, in Mississippi,
[1:24:46] Speaker 2: in Florida, in Georgia, in South Carolina, in North Carolina,
[1:24:52] Speaker 2: we win, or we make it a hell of a
[1:24:56] Speaker 2: lot easier for a candidate a credit can it because
[1:25:00] Speaker 2: Republicans don't give a shit about us make it easier
[1:25:04] Speaker 2: to win.
[1:25:05] Speaker 3: So it's as simple as that. So what I need
[1:25:07] Speaker 3: our focus, Our focus.
[1:25:09] Speaker 2: Has to be on black people and my I'm saying
[1:25:13] Speaker 2: black men, I'm saying black women.
[1:25:17] Speaker 3: This is Pride Month.
[1:25:18] Speaker 2: I had somebody say, well, are you going to talk
[1:25:22] Speaker 2: about gayful? I said, listen, when I'm talking about black people,
[1:25:26] Speaker 2: I'm talking about gay people, and I'm talking about straight
[1:25:29] Speaker 2: people because I'm talking about black people. So if we're
[1:25:32] Speaker 2: talking about voting rights and we're talking about black people
[1:25:35] Speaker 2: and you LGBTQ.
[1:25:37] Speaker 3: Are you black? Your ass included.
[1:25:40] Speaker 2: If we're talking about this attack on this economy and
[1:25:43] Speaker 2: how it's hurting black people and you LGBTQ, your ass included.
[1:25:48] Speaker 2: If we're talking about the loss of black contracts and
[1:25:51] Speaker 2: you transgender and you black, your ass included. So when
[1:25:56] Speaker 2: I say we're talking about black people, That's what I'm
[1:25:59] Speaker 2: talking about.
[1:26:00] Speaker 3: And right now, our emphasis.
[1:26:03] Speaker 2: Whether it's Pride month, whether it's breast cancer Aware this month,
[1:26:07] Speaker 2: whether it's mental health Aware this month, or whatever month
[1:26:11] Speaker 2: it is, I'm saying in June, July, August, September, October,
[1:26:18] Speaker 2: and the.
[1:26:18] Speaker 3: First Monday in November, what we are doing.
[1:26:21] Speaker 2: Are fixated on black people driving our numbers, because when
[1:26:27] Speaker 2: you do your job, then you.
[1:26:29] Speaker 3: Could say I did my job. But there's nothing worse.
[1:26:32] Speaker 2: Randy, when we talk about elections and we see a
[1:26:35] Speaker 2: fifty two percent black turnout, and then it was like, damn,
[1:26:39] Speaker 2: my can didn't win. Hell not with fifty two percent
[1:26:42] Speaker 2: when you left twenty thirty forty fifty one hundred thousand,
[1:26:46] Speaker 2: six hundred thousand, nine hundred thousand votes at home.
[1:26:51] Speaker 16: Right, we have to show up and we have to
[1:26:55] Speaker 16: ignore the propaganda that has made that's disenfranchised us think
[1:27:00] Speaker 16: we don't.
[1:27:00] Speaker 5: Have any power. I really do believe a lot of
[1:27:03] Speaker 5: people just have given up. They feel as if there's
[1:27:05] Speaker 5: nothing that they can do, and they would.
[1:27:07] Speaker 16: Not be fighting so much against us but voting. They
[1:27:12] Speaker 16: would not be doing all that they're doing if we
[1:27:14] Speaker 16: were not powerful. They know what could happen if we
[1:27:18] Speaker 16: show up.
[1:27:19] Speaker 12: They know it, and so we have to know it.
[1:27:22] Speaker 5: We have to reclaim our power and get to those polls.
[1:27:26] Speaker 5: And that is all black people.
[1:27:27] Speaker 22: Like I tell people I speak to all black people
[1:27:29] Speaker 22: except for black people who don't like black people.
[1:27:31] Speaker 5: Besides that, but even they should go ahead and vote. Right, No,
[1:27:35] Speaker 5: we have to get out there and vote. But I
[1:27:37] Speaker 5: believe that we have just believed that we don't have
[1:27:41] Speaker 5: a power that we do well.
[1:27:44] Speaker 2: Yeah, and again part of the reason that's the case,
[1:27:46] Speaker 2: Mustafa and I have been yelling and screaming therein it
[1:27:51] Speaker 2: drives me crazy is we can't hope people show up.
[1:27:57] Speaker 3: We can't wish they show up.
[1:28:01] Speaker 2: What you have to do is you have to actually
[1:28:04] Speaker 2: see the ground and then tell the soil and then
[1:28:09] Speaker 2: attend it and water it before something grows. And so
[1:28:13] Speaker 2: I have been saying in every state in the South,
[1:28:17] Speaker 2: in every city in the South, there should be a
[1:28:22] Speaker 2: black focused citizenship education training session happening minimum once a week.
[1:28:31] Speaker 2: And all I'm saying is it should be four churches
[1:28:35] Speaker 2: around the city saying all right, we're gonna do something
[1:28:39] Speaker 2: on Friday, do something on Saturday.
[1:28:41] Speaker 3: This group will do something on this day.
[1:28:42] Speaker 2: So no matter where you go, like, hey, that way
[1:28:45] Speaker 2: we're teaching people about the system.
[1:28:48] Speaker 3: We can asson people know how all of this works.
[1:28:53] Speaker 4: Yeah, without a doubt.
[1:28:54] Speaker 15: I mean, education is incredibly important, Brother, Khalil also talked
[1:28:57] Speaker 15: about making sure that the resources are there as well,
[1:29:02] Speaker 15: to make sure, you know that we're building out the platforms,
[1:29:05] Speaker 15: helping people to get connected, helping them have the information
[1:29:08] Speaker 15: that they need.
[1:29:08] Speaker 3: I would just add one piece is that in.
[1:29:11] Speaker 15: My conversations with a number of brothers, they want to
[1:29:14] Speaker 15: also know that they are seen, because many feel that
[1:29:16] Speaker 15: they are not. Now, of course, these impacts are happening
[1:29:19] Speaker 15: and hitting them, but there is an agenda that many
[1:29:23] Speaker 15: brothers are looking for and making sure, whether it's around
[1:29:26] Speaker 15: jobs or a number of things. So we just got
[1:29:28] Speaker 15: to make sure as that education is happening, that we
[1:29:32] Speaker 15: are also making sure that those folks who have felt
[1:29:34] Speaker 15: disconnected from the process that their priorities and concerns are
[1:29:40] Speaker 15: also being met. And I think if we do that,
[1:29:43] Speaker 15: and of course the sisters are going to make sure
[1:29:44] Speaker 15: that the agenda is moving forward as well, then I
[1:29:47] Speaker 15: think that we begin to coalesce our you know, we
[1:29:51] Speaker 15: begin to bring together the power that's necessary to be
[1:29:53] Speaker 15: able to move some of these issues that we've been
[1:29:57] Speaker 15: talking about today and other shows as well.
[1:30:00] Speaker 3: But here's the thing though to what you just said,
[1:30:08] Speaker 3: and on this point, and Khalil, I heard this.
[1:30:16] Speaker 2: In twenty four. I heard it in twenty two. I
[1:30:19] Speaker 2: heard it in twenty, I heard it in eighteen. I
[1:30:23] Speaker 2: heard it in sixteen. I heard it in fourteen. That
[1:30:28] Speaker 2: was a nine point gap between black men and black
[1:30:30] Speaker 2: women for Obama over Romney. So I heard it in
[1:30:34] Speaker 2: twelve and brothers saying we are here, speak to us,
[1:30:41] Speaker 2: and I go, okay, you're right, but you also got
[1:30:47] Speaker 2: to speak yourself. And I'm being very clear, and I
[1:30:53] Speaker 2: don't care what any any brother has to say in
[1:30:57] Speaker 2: any neighborhood in this country. I don't care if you've
[1:31:02] Speaker 2: got a group of black men who are who don't
[1:31:06] Speaker 2: like all the attention on black girl magic. I don't
[1:31:10] Speaker 2: care if you got black men who say, well, I
[1:31:13] Speaker 2: think sisters get too much credit. Let me be real clear,
[1:31:17] Speaker 2: and I've said this before. The reality is this here.
[1:31:21] Speaker 2: The big difference between black men, black men, and black
[1:31:25] Speaker 2: women is black women are going to organize and mobilize
[1:31:31] Speaker 2: and they're not going to ask somebody's permission.
[1:31:35] Speaker 3: And Khalil, I'm being straight up.
[1:31:37] Speaker 2: I think too many black men are sitting on their
[1:31:40] Speaker 2: asses mad that they ain't talking to us. But you
[1:31:45] Speaker 2: ain't mobilized yourself to go talk to them. The reality
[1:31:48] Speaker 2: is this here. If I look at if there's a
[1:31:53] Speaker 2: group of black men in Philadelphia and in Chicago, and
[1:31:58] Speaker 2: then Charlotte and I could just go down the list
[1:32:02] Speaker 2: and you said, man, they listen to us. Okay, show
[1:32:07] Speaker 2: me where one hundred or two hundred of you rolled
[1:32:10] Speaker 2: up to the office of said politician and said, when
[1:32:14] Speaker 2: you gonna talk to us?
[1:32:16] Speaker 3: I've seen sisters do that, and so I'm.
[1:32:20] Speaker 2: Just telling you right now, I think this whole issue
[1:32:23] Speaker 2: when black men say we want to be seen, No,
[1:32:26] Speaker 2: how about you make yourself heard?
[1:32:29] Speaker 3: And trust me, when you make yourself heard. Oh, they're
[1:32:32] Speaker 3: not just gonna see you, They're gonna hear you, but
[1:32:35] Speaker 3: you gotta do some work.
[1:32:38] Speaker 17: No, I mean, you're very true. There's no disagreement here
[1:32:41] Speaker 17: from on that point. I think brothers need to get
[1:32:43] Speaker 17: out of their way and step up. There are dynamic
[1:32:46] Speaker 17: groups that are coming together. If million man voters a
[1:32:48] Speaker 17: group here in DC, I know there are others that
[1:32:51] Speaker 17: are meeting in church basements, that are meeting at YMCA's,
[1:32:53] Speaker 17: that are coming together at various different locations.
[1:32:56] Speaker 9: But we need to coalust.
[1:32:59] Speaker 17: I don't care what umbrell you want to come underneath,
[1:33:01] Speaker 17: whether it's divine nine, whether it's labor, whether it's faith,
[1:33:04] Speaker 17: whether it's just a community group. But if there's no
[1:33:07] Speaker 17: other moment, if there was no other election, that you
[1:33:10] Speaker 17: need to stand up and make your voice heard. Now
[1:33:13] Speaker 17: is the one I didn't live through, Jim Crow. I
[1:33:15] Speaker 17: have no idea what it was like to be a slave.
[1:33:17] Speaker 17: I can imagine both of those time periods were horrible
[1:33:21] Speaker 17: and horrendous and terrible. But what I do know is
[1:33:24] Speaker 17: that I don't want to live in an era where
[1:33:26] Speaker 17: my daughter has to choose between a fountain where one
[1:33:28] Speaker 17: a group of her friends gets more access than don't.
[1:33:31] Speaker 9: And so I am making the decision.
[1:33:34] Speaker 17: And you and I have talked about this so many times, Roland,
[1:33:36] Speaker 17: because we got flag for our call. Just step up
[1:33:39] Speaker 17: and do something organized in your community. Come together. We
[1:33:43] Speaker 17: will support you when with blackmn dot org, we will
[1:33:45] Speaker 17: figure out a way to help you get some of
[1:33:47] Speaker 17: those resources. It's a CRM you need, we got You's
[1:33:50] Speaker 17: the zoom platform you need to organize, great texting, phone banking, canvassing.
[1:33:54] Speaker 4: We are there with you.
[1:33:56] Speaker 9: But come together, And I find far too often sisters
[1:33:59] Speaker 9: are also willing to do it.
[1:34:00] Speaker 17: And check ego at the door and come and do
[1:34:03] Speaker 17: this work. I love my brothers, but sometimes it's like, well,
[1:34:06] Speaker 17: why are you running that? Well, I'm running it because
[1:34:08] Speaker 17: I remember in twenty twenty four a brother asked me
[1:34:11] Speaker 17: and said to me, we are leading in this space.
[1:34:13] Speaker 17: How dare you step up and do a phone call
[1:34:16] Speaker 17: and a fellow covener quinn, and I said, well, cool,
[1:34:18] Speaker 17: if you lead and we'll join your goal.
[1:34:20] Speaker 9: They had no call. So we just continue doing the work.
[1:34:23] Speaker 9: There can't be ego in this moment.
[1:34:24] Speaker 4: We just got to do the work.
[1:34:28] Speaker 3: Is as simple as that. It's time for Black Sun
[1:34:30] Speaker 3: Network headlines.
[1:34:33] Speaker 25: A white officer from Shelby, North Carolina, has been charged
[1:34:37] Speaker 25: with assault after he punched a black woman during an arrest.
[1:34:40] Speaker 25: Twenty two year old Carson Hyder is facing one count
[1:34:43] Speaker 25: of assault inflicting serious injury. The incident occurred on Friday
[1:34:48] Speaker 25: while officers were conducting a criminal investigation about a suspicious
[1:34:52] Speaker 25: female in the area. Doorbell camera footage shows officer Hyder
[1:34:57] Speaker 25: throwing thirty four year old Cherry More to the ground,
[1:35:00] Speaker 25: pinning her down, and punching her multiple times. A second
[1:35:04] Speaker 25: officer arrived to assist Hyder before Moore was handcuffed and.
[1:35:07] Speaker 12: Arrested on Saturday.
[1:35:09] Speaker 25: The Shelby Police Department completed an administrative investigation into the
[1:35:13] Speaker 25: incident and subsequently fired Hyder. He turned himself into the
[1:35:18] Speaker 25: Cleveland County Detention Center yesterday, where he was processed and
[1:35:22] Speaker 25: released on a ten thousand dollars bond.
[1:35:24] Speaker 12: The charges against Moore have been dropped.
[1:35:28] Speaker 25: The Georgia Supreme Court has paved the way for executions
[1:35:33] Speaker 25: to resume by officially overturning a previous ruling that had
[1:35:37] Speaker 25: postponed them due to COVID nineteen concerns. In the earlier ruling,
[1:35:41] Speaker 25: execution could not take place until vaccines were widely available
[1:35:46] Speaker 25: to the public. A lower court had determined that this
[1:35:49] Speaker 25: condition has not been met because children under six months
[1:35:53] Speaker 25: old could not receive the vaccine. However, the Georgia Supreme
[1:35:57] Speaker 25: Court disagreed, concluding that the available ability of the vaccine
[1:36:01] Speaker 25: does not require FDA approval for every age group for
[1:36:04] Speaker 25: the condition to be considered satisfied. All new cars sold
[1:36:09] Speaker 25: in the United States may soon be equipped with a
[1:36:12] Speaker 25: kill switch designed to prevent impaired drivers from operating a vehicle.
[1:36:16] Speaker 25: According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than
[1:36:20] Speaker 25: thirty people die each day in.
[1:36:22] Speaker 12: Drunk driving crashes in the United States.
[1:36:25] Speaker 25: In twenty twenty one, lawmakers in Congress passed the Halt
[1:36:29] Speaker 25: Drunk Driving Act, which mandated that the NHTSA develop regulations
[1:36:34] Speaker 25: requiring automakers to install anti drunk driving technology in all
[1:36:39] Speaker 25: new vehicles within five years. In recent months, several Republicans
[1:36:43] Speaker 25: have attempted to repeal this mandate. However, the rules are
[1:36:47] Speaker 25: still being drafted, and unless the legislation is overturned, the
[1:36:50] Speaker 25: requirements could come into effect as early as next year.
[1:36:57] Speaker 25: Well Haitian American Edwin Raymond is New York City's new sheriff.
[1:37:02] Speaker 25: Mayor zoam Medami appointed the Brooklyn native and retired NYPD
[1:37:06] Speaker 25: lieutenant to the position on May twenty ninth. Raymond is
[1:37:09] Speaker 25: recognized for his efforts to promote police accountability and reform,
[1:37:13] Speaker 25: including legal actions against racial quotas. Previously, he served as
[1:37:17] Speaker 25: the nation's first social Justice Liaison in the New York
[1:37:20] Speaker 25: State Attorney General's Office, where he focused on issues related
[1:37:25] Speaker 25: to law enforcement, accountability, and building public trust. Raymond is
[1:37:30] Speaker 25: now taking over the role from Anthony Miranda, whom Mayor
[1:37:34] Speaker 25: Mindami recently fired. Well the White House Correspondence Association has
[1:37:39] Speaker 25: officially rescheduled the annual Correspondence Dinner for next month. The
[1:37:43] Speaker 25: dinner will now be held in Washington, DC on Friday,
[1:37:46] Speaker 25: July twenty fourth. Uija Jang Correspondence Association presidents at the
[1:37:50] Speaker 25: event will operate with significantly enhanced safety measures and new
[1:37:54] Speaker 25: access procedures. Jang said that rescheduling shows that they will
[1:37:58] Speaker 25: not allow an active islands to have the last word.
[1:38:01] Speaker 25: The original dinner was interrupted on April twenty fifth when
[1:38:05] Speaker 25: a gunman allegedly breached a security checkpoint in open fire
[1:38:09] Speaker 25: outside the event. Additional details regarding the venue and programming
[1:38:13] Speaker 25: will be released in the coming weeks with a smaller team.
[1:38:17] Speaker 25: Trump posted to social media saying that he will be
[1:38:20] Speaker 25: attending the gala.
[1:38:21] Speaker 12: In July.
[1:38:23] Speaker 25: And A recent study by Navigator Research reveals that black
[1:38:26] Speaker 25: men lack trust and mainstream media and turned to programs
[1:38:30] Speaker 25: like Roland Martin Unfiltered on the Blackstar Network as a
[1:38:33] Speaker 25: reliable source for news and political analysis. Researchers surveyed black
[1:38:38] Speaker 25: voters who supported President Joe Biden in twenty twenty but
[1:38:41] Speaker 25: voted for President Donald Trump in twenty twenty four as
[1:38:44] Speaker 25: well as Democrats who feel disengaged from the political process.
[1:38:48] Speaker 25: Many of the men in the focus group identified social
[1:38:50] Speaker 25: media as their primary source of news, while others mentioned
[1:38:54] Speaker 25: local news stations and newspapers as more trustworthy options. Several
[1:38:58] Speaker 25: respondents cited personalities such as Joe Rogan and Roland Martineze
[1:39:03] Speaker 25: trusted sources for news and after four years and the
[1:39:08] Speaker 25: birth of two kids, tennis legends Serena Williams is making
[1:39:12] Speaker 25: her return to the court.
[1:39:14] Speaker 12: In a joint announcement with Nike.
[1:39:16] Speaker 25: Williams revealed that she is ready to compete at a
[1:39:19] Speaker 25: professional level once again. The seven time Wimbledon champion is
[1:39:22] Speaker 25: set to play at the Queen's Club in London next week.
[1:39:25] Speaker 25: Williams retired in August of twenty twenty two to focus
[1:39:28] Speaker 25: on her family, but now the forty four year old
[1:39:31] Speaker 25: is preparing for the HSBC Championships. She already holds an
[1:39:35] Speaker 25: impressive record of twenty three major singles titles, seventy three
[1:39:40] Speaker 25: career singles titles and fourteen major doubles titles, along with
[1:39:46] Speaker 25: her sister Venus Williams and her four Olympic gold medals.
[1:39:52] Speaker 2: Folks don't forget to watch the breakdown Brittany Noble everyday
[1:39:54] Speaker 2: noon eastern right here in the Black Star Network. Every
[1:39:57] Speaker 2: day noon eastern on the Black Star netw work. All right, y'all,
[1:40:00] Speaker 2: we're going to close out with this. Here goes to
[1:40:03] Speaker 2: show you how Republicans operating. This past weekend in Minnesota,
[1:40:06] Speaker 2: they took time out of their statewide convention to pay
[1:40:10] Speaker 2: tribute to convicted murderer, former cop Dereck Chauvin.
[1:40:15] Speaker 3: That's right.
[1:40:15] Speaker 2: You know, he was the cop in twenty twenty who
[1:40:17] Speaker 2: killed George Floyd, launching the nation wide protest against police brutality,
[1:40:20] Speaker 2: racial injustice. The attendees stood in silence for about ten
[1:40:24] Speaker 2: seconds for Chauvin, just days after the anniversary of him
[1:40:28] Speaker 2: murdering Floyd. Yeah, Ken new qualas a black man, a
[1:40:35] Speaker 2: black Republican who was running for governm Minnesota, was actually
[1:40:38] Speaker 2: asked about the moment of silence.
[1:40:41] Speaker 3: Listen to this.
[1:40:44] Speaker 14: I wasn't privy that was that was going to be
[1:40:46] Speaker 14: done beforehand. I didn't know that, but you know, and
[1:40:51] Speaker 14: I'm going to speak to the people that believe that
[1:40:55] Speaker 14: that believe that that was and I could see how
[1:40:58] Speaker 14: people could be offended by it, And I'm going to
[1:41:00] Speaker 14: speak to the people that made the decision to do
[1:41:01] Speaker 14: it based on a lot of the evidence has come
[1:41:05] Speaker 14: forward in the public since the trial.
[1:41:09] Speaker 26: There's a lot of people, there's a lot of evidence
[1:41:12] Speaker 26: facts have said that this was not given uh scrutiny
[1:41:17] Speaker 26: or was not given infamous at his trial or in
[1:41:21] Speaker 26: the public until after the trial is over.
[1:41:25] Speaker 14: So I can see why they would have what I
[1:41:27] Speaker 14: want to have that that moment of silence, Like I said, oh.
[1:41:31] Speaker 27: I understand that, and there has been good reporting and
[1:41:33] Speaker 27: there are people believe different aspects about what was allowed
[1:41:37] Speaker 27: in the trial and after, but a moment of silence is.
[1:41:45] Speaker 4: Let me, let me just let me just ask you that.
[1:41:47] Speaker 14: Let me You just finished this. You know, you asked
[1:41:49] Speaker 14: me that question, and you said, what would you say
[1:41:51] Speaker 14: to a modern voter? The answer, I just gave you
[1:41:54] Speaker 14: the context about about how I've apologized to law enforcements
[1:42:00] Speaker 14: is across the board, and then given both sides of
[1:42:03] Speaker 14: that story, That's what I would say to a modern voter.
[1:42:07] Speaker 27: If if the GOP would have approached you and said,
[1:42:11] Speaker 27: you right now are the favorite to come out of
[1:42:14] Speaker 27: this as our endorsed candidate, and a lot of this
[1:42:17] Speaker 27: is going to reflect back on you, would you have,
[1:42:20] Speaker 27: okayed a moment of silence for Derek schuldn.
[1:42:26] Speaker 14: Uh that probably that was probably not I don't know
[1:42:28] Speaker 14: that was probably at the venue to do that or
[1:42:31] Speaker 14: timing to do that. I think there are better there
[1:42:33] Speaker 14: is a better, better ways to convey that information. So
[1:42:38] Speaker 14: I mean, that's a good question. I I got to
[1:42:42] Speaker 14: tell you, you know, giving that some thought, I don't
[1:42:45] Speaker 14: know if that was the venue to do it or
[1:42:46] Speaker 14: the timing.
[1:42:47] Speaker 16: To do it.
[1:42:48] Speaker 14: It sounds like you're saying I know that I have
[1:42:51] Speaker 14: I do have my effort. I do have my own
[1:42:53] Speaker 14: concerns about the child itself and the condition of Derek
[1:42:57] Speaker 14: jouvenile he was treated.
[1:43:00] Speaker 27: But again, and you you're I've interviewed a number of
[1:43:02] Speaker 27: times now, you are a straight shooter.
[1:43:04] Speaker 4: You answer questions. Are you saying that.
[1:43:07] Speaker 27: That this was a mistake to have the moment of
[1:43:10] Speaker 27: silence this past weekend?
[1:43:13] Speaker 14: You know what, I'm not gonna I'm not I don't
[1:43:15] Speaker 14: want to say that. Here's what I would say, Like,
[1:43:19] Speaker 14: like I told you earlier, I don't I don't know
[1:43:21] Speaker 14: if that was the timing, the best timing to convey that.
[1:43:25] Speaker 14: If you if you're on if we're wanting to make
[1:43:28] Speaker 14: a case for for that. I think you make it
[1:43:31] Speaker 14: out of case for fact and everything else. You don't
[1:43:34] Speaker 14: make it up political issues that can be used all
[1:43:36] Speaker 14: the way to the general campaign at the very end.
[1:43:38] Speaker 19: And so I get that, Uh, there's a word as
[1:43:59] Speaker 19: a word.
[1:44:02] Speaker 2: That describes Kindle Cualls. Actually I think it's it's it's
[1:44:08] Speaker 2: actually there three words that describes Kindle Cualls that actually
[1:44:15] Speaker 2: formed one word. Bitch Assnest, I love you, bro, bitch, Askedest.
[1:44:31] Speaker 2: That's you, Kindle Cualls. You are a weak, impotent, pathetic
[1:44:43] Speaker 2: disgrace of a black man where the host calls you
[1:44:48] Speaker 2: a straight shooter and I, I'm sort of.
[1:44:54] Speaker 3: May not venue, I said, I, you know.
[1:44:58] Speaker 19: I don't.
[1:44:59] Speaker 2: I don't really, I'm just I, you know, I just
[1:45:06] Speaker 2: that's what that shit sounded like. And you know what
[1:45:09] Speaker 2: him his sorry ass opponent, Minnesota House Speaker Republican Google
[1:45:14] Speaker 2: tour candidate Listen to Move, Listen to Hood Dumbass asked
[1:45:19] Speaker 2: about will Shoe pardon Derek Chauvin.
[1:45:26] Speaker 5: What about the moment of silence for Derek Chauvin yesterday?
[1:45:29] Speaker 5: Kendall Paul said it wasn't his choice. How did you
[1:45:32] Speaker 5: feel about that moment?
[1:45:33] Speaker 9: What would you have to see?
[1:45:34] Speaker 6: I actually was not in on the on the convention
[1:45:38] Speaker 6: floor at the time, so I was hearing much much
[1:45:41] Speaker 6: later on things. What I would say, though, is moments
[1:45:43] Speaker 6: of silence typically have always when I think of fallen
[1:45:47] Speaker 6: officers and first responders, I think back just two years
[1:45:50] Speaker 6: ago to the Burnsville tragedy. I think just two years
[1:45:53] Speaker 6: ago to Jamal Mitchell in Minneapolis.
[1:45:56] Speaker 16: That is what I typically would think of at that time.
[1:45:59] Speaker 5: Did you think it would appropriate? And would your pardon
[1:46:01] Speaker 5: him if that word to come for your destiny?
[1:46:03] Speaker 6: Again, I wasn't on the floor. You know, the ability
[1:46:06] Speaker 6: for a governor to do any type of pardons. Obviously
[1:46:09] Speaker 6: there's a pardon board. There's a lot that goes into
[1:46:11] Speaker 6: any type of decision.
[1:46:13] Speaker 2: Wow, pure cowardice, Mustafa. I mean, y'all are aligning with
[1:46:23] Speaker 2: Derek Chauvin. That is not a hard one to say. Nah, Yeah,
[1:46:30] Speaker 2: I'm good. That's gonna be a hard pass.
[1:46:34] Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean it's hard to respect the shucking and
[1:46:36] Speaker 15: drive and that was just going on by both of them,
[1:46:40] Speaker 15: you know. For the brother, I'm always reminded that all
[1:46:42] Speaker 15: skin folk and kinfolk, and he actually made that come
[1:46:46] Speaker 15: alive with how he responded, and I guess what his
[1:46:50] Speaker 15: belief system is. I mean, the reality is is that
[1:46:53] Speaker 15: our dear brother was murdered. Everybody saw it, everybody knows it,
[1:46:58] Speaker 15: and you should not be honoring anyone who's murdered someone else. So,
[1:47:03] Speaker 15: you know, it's a very easy answer. But unfortunately politicians
[1:47:09] Speaker 15: very rarely are politicians straightforward when it comes to our
[1:47:14] Speaker 15: community and doing something to actually uplift us. But when
[1:47:19] Speaker 15: it comes to the impact side of the equation, then
[1:47:22] Speaker 15: sometimes they're much easier for them to then say certain things.
[1:47:27] Speaker 3: Randy, no one is a complete sentence.
[1:47:31] Speaker 5: I don't understand why she struggled with that. It should
[1:47:33] Speaker 5: have been very easy just to say no, no, of
[1:47:36] Speaker 5: course I wouldn't party him.
[1:47:38] Speaker 1: He's a murderer.
[1:47:39] Speaker 16: I mean, we saw the tape, right, And of course
[1:47:42] Speaker 16: it's not appropriate to have a moment of silence for
[1:47:44] Speaker 16: a man. You have a moment of silence to honor
[1:47:46] Speaker 16: someone who's done something great. What has he done great?
[1:47:50] Speaker 16: What has he earned in this life except for killing
[1:47:52] Speaker 16: a black man? And so if that is what you're celebrating,
[1:47:55] Speaker 16: if you're acting as if he's a hero, that tells
[1:47:58] Speaker 16: me a lot about this country. And now it's like
[1:48:01] Speaker 16: we at least used to have people who would pretend
[1:48:04] Speaker 16: that they were anti racist, They would pretend that they
[1:48:08] Speaker 16: weren't racist. But now it seems as if will let
[1:48:10] Speaker 16: me just dance around the subject because I realized that
[1:48:13] Speaker 16: racism is actually very popular in this country, and I
[1:48:16] Speaker 16: certainly don't want to anger the racist.
[1:48:19] Speaker 3: It's pitiful, glil.
[1:48:23] Speaker 17: You can disagree with people all the time and you
[1:48:25] Speaker 17: can just say no, like no, you shouldn't do it.
[1:48:28] Speaker 9: That's number one. The second thing is he made it
[1:48:31] Speaker 9: akin to a fallen officer there.
[1:48:33] Speaker 17: Chauvin is still alive, George Floyd is dead, Like, what
[1:48:36] Speaker 17: are we making this correlation? And then to the brother,
[1:48:40] Speaker 17: I mean, maybe this is inflammatory. Let me put my
[1:48:41] Speaker 17: knee on your neck and see how long you going
[1:48:43] Speaker 17: to stand down on the ground and if you can breathe, Like,
[1:48:45] Speaker 17: let me apply the same pressure to you that was
[1:48:48] Speaker 17: applied to George Floyd and see if you are still
[1:48:50] Speaker 17: here and want that. If you can't stand up for
[1:48:53] Speaker 17: the morals and the principles that you say your party
[1:48:56] Speaker 17: stands for, or stand up when they do something wrong,
[1:48:59] Speaker 17: how do we expect you to stand up when there
[1:49:01] Speaker 17: are larger decisions to.
[1:49:03] Speaker 9: Be made at the highest office in your state. So
[1:49:06] Speaker 9: I think I'm sorry. I got nothing else. Man, that's it.
