Speaker 5 (01:59):

Speaker 1 (02:25):
The federal trial of Sean did he Calls moved into
its third week. Joined us right now is legal alist
Candace Kelly? Candace? What happened today?

Speaker 6 (02:38):
You know you have heard her name about a dozen
times if you have been following this trial like many
people have.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Capricorn Clark took the stand.

Speaker 6 (02:46):
This was a personal assistant who rose up the ranks
to be a marketing executives and there were so many
things that she said. Let me start off first by
saying she says that when she was on the first
day of work with Seawan Colmes that Shawn Combs and
an associate, a bodyguard took her to the park and
they took her to the park because they said, listen,
we know you have had some affiliations with should Knight.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
She did work for death Row Records.

Speaker 6 (03:10):
She said that Sean told her that if anything happened
to him, that she would have to die. That was
on her day one. Also on the stand, she talked
about being kidnapped by Sean Combs when he found out
that Cassie was.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Dating Kid Cutty.

Speaker 6 (03:25):
She said that Sean came over to her home knocking
on her door with a gun. With that gun, he
told her to come downstairs get into his car because
they were going to go over Kid Cutty's house and
he was going to kill kid Cutty. Now, this obviously
is corroborated something that we've heard from Cassie, something that
we've heard from Kid Cutty. But now we have someone

(03:46):
who isn't a part of, you know, any of the
beatings or any of the sexual assault allegations. We have
someone who was a personal assistant and said that she
really really wanted to work hard for.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Shawn Combs and learn from him.

Speaker 6 (03:59):
She said that she saw Sean Holmes beating Cassie to
a point where she was so concerned when he was
kicking her and she got down on the ground and
balled up in a fetal position, kicking her in her back,
that she called her mother, Regina Ventura. She already took
the stamp. She said that she was told by Shawn Holmes,
you can't call the police. She thought, well, I would
call the next person that I thought would call the

(04:21):
police if she knew her daughter was being beaten, did
so and said that her mother, Regina Ventura, said that
she would take care of it, but she was very
scared to call the police.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
Finally, and this was some really big news.

Speaker 6 (04:34):
In the testimony, she expressed that at one point three
pieces of major jewelry went missing and she told everybody
that everybody needs to be on lockdown. She was concerned,
said that she was trying to find out who stole
this jury. She then said that shortly thereafter, she was
taken to an empty building. This was a building that

(04:55):
was already purchased. It was going to become the headquarters
of bad Boy and other Shawncolms enterprise. Is went into
that efty building with one other person and then the
doors were locked behind her.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Said that she won up, went up to the sixth.

Speaker 6 (05:07):
Floor rolling and was greeted by a man that she
says was five times bigger than she was, sitting at
a table, a long table with a lie detector test,
smoking chain smoking, drinking.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Coffee, something like that of a movie.

Speaker 6 (05:21):
And she said that for the rest of that day,
for the whole afternoon to the end of the workday,
she went through various iterations of a lied detector test
and was told, if this comes up inconclusive, you're gonna
find your body in the East River.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
So she went on to say, and.

Speaker 6 (05:40):
I'll finish up with this that not only did this
happen one day, that it happened four more days that
a lied detector test was given to her. She was
brought back, she said, to the same location five days
in a row total after this. In terms of going
back and forth and working for Sean Colmbs, because again
she did want to work with him, said she wanted

(06:02):
to learn from him. She was fired, then she came back.
She was fired, and we hired about three times. Then
she said that she was just blackball and she couldn't
get a job and hasn't worked since then finally she said.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
That wages were owed to her. This is very.

Speaker 6 (06:16):
Important for people who understand the RICO statute that we
are talking about unfair wages that were given to someone
and unfair labor practices. That is part of the EGO charge.
She said that she was old eighty thousand dollars. Human
resources agreed. When she went to human human Resources, it
was written up that she was owed eighty thousand dollars

(06:36):
in that particular contract. When Sean Colmes was called into
the office, he ripped up right in front of her face.
So here we are, and tomorrow they're going to being
four more witnesses corroborating her testimony, Cassie's testimony. We're going
to be hearing from people from the Los Angeles Fire
Department and Mia, one of Colmes's former assistants, and an

(07:00):
alleged victim that we've heard about from opening statements. Role
and a lot of information today a good day, I
would say.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
So when you talk about again, how are they making
this connection this WECo connection, explained that for the audience.

Speaker 6 (07:20):
So listen, when you have a RICO charge, this means
that let's go back in nineteen seventy we know that
the law was created. Many people know because of the mob.
It was created in order to kind of circumvent this
mobs loophole where mob bosses were doing things and people
were ordering things to do for people below them, but
they weren't getting touch. So this loophole was closed with

(07:44):
what we know as the Rico Statue. We know that
the Rico Statue there are thirty five predicit or underlying
claims that if you hit those claims, just two of
them over a period of ten years, then you are
in violation of the Rico Statue. Some of those underlying
claims that the prosecutors are trying to make and say.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Are happening, had happened.

Speaker 6 (08:05):
Especially with today's victim, was kidnapping for example, arson for example,
obstruction of justice.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
So we have all these things that we have been
hearing about.

Speaker 6 (08:16):
You just need two of those claims over the period
of last ten years and you have satisfied the REGOs
statue and you are in violation and in control of
a criminal enterprise, right that being Sean Colmes and saying
that he is the mob boss.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
If we can analogize that he is.

Speaker 6 (08:35):
Responsible for all of these acts below him, he may
not have thrown the Molotov cocktail, but they're saying he
had the Molotov cocktail. Somebody do it for him. So
that's where we are. And one thing to remember about
Rico that's very important, and this is how you get
people to testify on the stand, is that if you
have a witness that say is a security guard and

(08:57):
within this enterprise that the prosecutors are alleging there have
been murders and arson, that security guard, that low level
security guard, is equally responsible for the murders and the arson.
And this is how through the statue the Feds get
people to talk. And this is why they created this
statue to get that mob boss. They're really only worried

(09:19):
about Shawn Combs. The regal Statute is actually created for
people like Sean Combs close that big mob boss loop
and order to get to the head of all of
the interactions.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
So the idea again with Rico, is that you're not
having Early on we talked about how well the prosecutors
keep talking about domestic violence. What they're trying to say
is there are a litany of crimes that it's a
ledge that Combs either ordered or participated in so therefore

(09:54):
by hitting with a reco charge and by saying that
he is the boss of all of this. So all
of these crimes, domestic violence, the cover up, the beating
folks up, blowing the car up, and on and on,
these are all crimes, all underneath one reco charge.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
They all do have a place within it.

Speaker 6 (10:18):
But in terms of the thirty five underlying crimes that
actually would satisfy Rico.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Yes, you are looking at the extortion.

Speaker 6 (10:25):
Think about Regina Ventura's mother who took out the twenty
thousand dollars loan. The jury might see that as extortion.
Many people would the kidnapping, Well, today's witness said that
she was kidnapped by gunpoint. That was corroborated by Cassie.
Then you have obstruction of justice sewn. Holmes has said
several times, according to witnesses, don't go to the police.

(10:46):
If you get to the police, I will get to
you and you won't be happy about it. Unfair labor practices.
This woman said that she was owed eighty thousand dollars.
He ripped up the contract. The way that people can
look at this is this, even if Cassie was not
involved in.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
This, and there was no such thing as a free golf.

Speaker 6 (11:04):
John Colms potentially still could be going to jail for
racketeering charges.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Gotcha, all right, then it's a whole lot to unpack.
All right, So explain what this prosecutor announced when they're
going to be done.

Speaker 6 (11:17):
Listen, I think that you're really making their case, getting
through a lot of witnesses quicker than they could. It's
going to be done. I think in about three weeks
as opposed to four weeks. That they shaved a week off,
is what I'm saying. And it's going to be done
closer than we thought. So we just have a few
more weeks of this testimony. Of course, we're going to
hear from the defense and their witnesses. There won't be

(11:38):
that many, but we will hear from.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Some, and again, obviously from their perspective, it is the
responsibility of the prosecutors to actually lay out the case
to say these things were actually committed. All right, then,
Canness Mischuelle appreciate it? Thanks a lot? All right, folks,
Going to break right back, rolling and unfiltered on the

(12:01):
Blackstar Network.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
This week.

Speaker 7 (12:06):
On the other side of change.

Speaker 8 (12:07):
We're talking sinners, We're talking to met Gala. We are
talking about.

Speaker 9 (12:10):
Black and Asian solidarity just in time for API Heritage
a month, and we're talking with our brilliant friend Melivika Cannon.

Speaker 10 (12:17):
Nothing about these alliances is like necessarily natural, except for
the fact that we all are people who are trying
to stay safe.

Speaker 8 (12:22):
Tune in only on the other side of change on
the Black Start Network.

Speaker 11 (12:29):
You must be my new lieutenant ghos ready for duty.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
I'm gonna need some dinner and a lot of wine.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
I really don't think that he thinks I'm qualified.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
What you gonna do?

Speaker 4 (12:42):
Cut my shoulders?

Speaker 11 (12:44):
When you love shopper and you've earned you're frightful one gs.
Do you know who this he is?

Speaker 6 (12:50):
Marrigadlde, I know we was about to be a tight
about all of the Cannon's kids.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
I want not.

Speaker 12 (12:59):
Will El Honory Lieutenant Gerald United States arow.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Retired and you're watching Roland Martin.

Speaker 12 (13:04):
I'm felt.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
All right, folks. So we know we have a corrupt
thug in the Oval office. So check this here out. Okay,
Donald Trump's family announces this multi billion dollar project in Vietnam.
Guess what the folks in Vietnam put it in a
document that they fast tracked this deal in order to

(13:47):
negotiate lower tariffs. Yeah, it's one point five billion dollar
deal and it's between the Trump organization and a Vietnamese developer.
We're talking, folks. God courses the size of three hundred
plus football fields, luxury hotels, shopping all fast tracked with
the help of top Vietnames officials, who admit it the

(14:10):
project got quote special attention because of its ties to
the Trump family. Now, Vietnam wants to avoid US tariffs
such as the forty six percent tax on its exports.
Now we all know what's going on here.

Speaker 13 (14:29):
Now.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Now keep in mind, this, of course, is on top
of Trump holding a dinner last week with his crypto
bros all right at mar Largo. The crazy thing is
that the idiots who worked for him, Carolyn Levitt, who
is an absolute liar, goes, oh, oh, oh oh, he's

(14:50):
having the dinner on his private time. I'm sorry. So
what we're saying now is that you can be corrupt
on your private time and as opposed to at any time. Well,
you do know what happened. They also released photos of
the event and oh, my goodness, the presidential seal was

(15:17):
actually on the podium where this idiot spoke. And oh,
they may say, well, I think you guys are making
this things up. It could be that's ai nahe The
only problem is this video, this actual video of this
as well. Do you now see where we're going with this, folks,

(15:40):
I've said it before. You have someone who is sitting
in the Oval Office, raping and pillaging this country, in
this world he is he has grown his net worth
by forty forty of his net worth is a result
of what happened after inauguration Day. And the right they're

(16:03):
just silent. They're saying nothing at all. My pound, but
doctor Avis Jones de Weaver, author of How Exceptional Women Lead,
Unlocking the Secrets to creating phenomenal success in the career
and life. Co founder and editor in chief Max Blacks
Media joining us for National Harbor Maryland. Not the Mustafa
Santego I leave, former Senior Advisor for Environmental Justice at

(16:24):
the EPA out of DC, Cameron Tremble, CEO Hip Politics
and Media, and former White House Senior Senior Advisor joining
us from DC. I mean, it's it really is hilarious.
And shameful to watch all of this how it plays out, Mustafa,
and to listen to these idiots in the White House

(16:47):
as well as right wing media. Oh just like oh
this is this is no bigger, it's no bigger, no
big deal. I mean saying nothing, say nothing. Yet they
yelled and screened over a Hunter Biden piece of art.
It's unbelievable.

Speaker 14 (17:07):
I mean, every administration besides this one, you know, has
had to live up to a certain level of ethics,
has had to be under the microscope, if you will,
and rightly so.

Speaker 15 (17:19):
Because we have laws in place.

Speaker 14 (17:21):
If you are a government official, I'm saying certain things
that you can't receive and certain types of actions that
you should not do. But of course all the rules
have been thrown out the window when this administration came in.
And the problem that exists is that, you know, as
they're moving forward on these types of things, you know,
putting the squeeze on Vietnam, so many people were wondering

(17:43):
why did he propose such a high tariff level on
that country, considering you know that we did have a
huge amount of business with them. We had business with them,
of course, but folks were always curious about why.

Speaker 16 (17:57):
You would choose the numbers that you did to put
that squeeze on folks.

Speaker 14 (18:00):
And now, of course it's becoming a parent of what's
going on. So we see these dynamics that are going
on in relationship to you know, him garnering additional wealth
and of course the unethical behavior that's going on. But
what we often don't pay attention to is all the
people who are getting hurt. You know, when you look
at the folks who are there in Vietnam who are

(18:22):
going to be displaced. I mean, you know, folks just
don't pay as much attention to that, but they are
going to be removed from their land, often traditional land
for many of the people, the familial.

Speaker 15 (18:34):
Ties that exist in that space.

Speaker 14 (18:36):
And we've seen these types of dynamics play out with
black communities in this country when someone decides that they
want a piece of land and that they're willing to
do anything to be able to get it.

Speaker 15 (18:47):
So again, you know, where is Congress and speaking out?

Speaker 16 (18:52):
Where's the Department of Justice and speaking out?

Speaker 15 (18:54):
Where are the courts? In relationship?

Speaker 14 (18:57):
If someone brings this forward, so it'll be interesting to
see if anybody is willing to speak out.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Don't want to hear anything from any of these people
ever again, Avis about ethics, morals, values, principles, honor, decency,
I don't want to hear anything. These people are grossly immoral,
They are shameful, they are despicable, and they will allow

(19:25):
this man to get away with anything. They don't care
and they frankly have no credibility with me at.

Speaker 17 (19:33):
All, Absolutely not, and they shouldn't look at what they do,
not what they say. One thing I will say about
Donald Trump is he is the projector in chief. Okay,
whatever he accuses someone else of being, he in fact
is that thing. So when he talked about the Biden
crime family, let's just know that what he was foretelling

(19:57):
and not even for telling was actually has been happening
in real time for god knows how many decades, is
an actual Trump crime family. And so what we are
seeing now is what one would expect a crime family
to do.

Speaker 18 (20:12):
The reality here is that we don't have a democracy.

Speaker 17 (20:15):
Anyone who's operating on this illusion that we are still
holding on and trying to save democracy, let me just
tell you that ship has sailed.

Speaker 18 (20:24):
This is exactly what autocrats do, right.

Speaker 17 (20:28):
They are lawless in their actions, they use their unfettered
power to aggrandize their wealth. And so if you have
any questions about what we're seeing here, we're seeing a
dictatorship solidify in this nation, and we're seeing in it
because the Republican Party is willing to let him do

(20:48):
whatever he chooses to do because they want to see
what I'm sure what benefits they can.

Speaker 18 (20:53):
Get from this situation.

Speaker 17 (20:54):
It is a horrible bastardization of our system of government.
And this exactly unfortunately, what way too many people voted.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
For corruption is is stunning. And here's what's even worse.

Speaker 11 (21:10):
Cameron, this thug.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
He has no problem with thieves and liars. Okay, Over
the weekend he pardoned a former sheriff in Virginia who
was selling badges so people could bypass tsa lines and speed.
Oh it now gets it gets even more so. Just today,

(21:38):
remember those people on the reality show, those wacky Chris Lees,
Todd and Julie who were sentenced for multiple multiple charges
conspiracy to commit bank fraud, tax evasion, wire fraud. Well
guess what they said. According to prosecutors, they saimend the

(22:00):
false documents to secure more than thirty million dollars in
loans for the production company. Todd got hit with what No,
don't go now yet. Todd got hit don't go to yet.
Todd got hit with twelve years in prison. Julie got
hit with seven years in prison. Well guess what, Donald
Trump says, Hey, I'm gonna let y'all go home. Y'all,
can you can brazenly commit crimes? You're good? Watch this crap.

Speaker 15 (22:26):
That's a terrible thing.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
It's a terrible thing, but it's a great thing because
your parents are going to be free and clean, and
I hope we can do it by tomorrow.

Speaker 11 (22:35):
He said, Okay, we'll try getting into tomorrow.

Speaker 14 (22:38):
So give them I don't know that, but give them
my regards and wish wish them a good life.

Speaker 11 (22:47):
Mister President.

Speaker 19 (22:48):
Yes, thank you for bringing my parents.

Speaker 14 (22:54):
Yeah, well, they were given a pretty harsh treatment based
on what I'm hearing.

Speaker 16 (22:59):
Pretty harsh was your brother was your brother fighting?

Speaker 1 (23:04):
They would give it pretty hard treatment, Cameron.

Speaker 20 (23:08):
They poked the law, and it seems like Trump is
breaking the law too.

Speaker 21 (23:16):
One thing I wanted to bring to your viewers and
so forth, as a person who at the work in
the White House, the amount of scrutiny and things that
we in the level of ethics that we were held
to uh tonight to not be able to profit off
of anything that we were able to do or sell secrets.

Speaker 20 (23:34):
This is a clear pay to play type of administration.

Speaker 21 (23:38):
I mean, he's putting it right in our face and
he's blatantly break breaking the law. I would argue the
Emolument's clause, which is in the United States Constitution, that
he's receiving gifts and enriching himself using uh using using
his power to with with the case with Vietnam, kind
of using this power there to hopefully get up fast

(23:59):
track of multi million dollar, multi billion dollar complex, sending
his son out there, and then all all of a sudden,
mysteriously Vietnam may be exempt from the tariffs. Even when
you show it's just the example you showed right there.
Everybody's figured out how to play this president. If I
find him away to make some money, whether it's home

(24:19):
or abroad, if I find a way to feed into
his ego, or if I find a way to get
into one of his advisors who can put anything in
front of Trump, and as long as it feeds his ego,
gets him a check and makes him in his mind.
Look better, he's signing off on it. He doesn't even
know what he's signing half the time. Like it really

(24:39):
disgusts me, and I really don't. I'm really so hurt
because we spent four years in the White House like
trying to hold.

Speaker 20 (24:47):
The utmost standard of ethics, and they have none, and
any little thing would come back to haunt us.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
And now here, hey, heyas they have none. Look look
at this here Trump parton tax cheat after mother attended
one million dollar dinner. Paul Walzac's part and application cited
his mother's support for the president, including raising millions of
dollars in a connection to the connection to a plot
to publicize a Biden family diary. There you go, Oh,

(25:14):
it's no problem. Guess what, give me money. I'm good,
you're done. You get to get off. This is a
picture of him and his mother. Basically, her one million dollars,
her ticket to that dinner got him a pardon. That's
what this thug does. This thug simply sells. He sells sells,

(25:40):
he sells the partons, he sells the White House. And
you know this here you talk about this sheriff. Unbelievable
and goes, oh, yes, look at look at this crap.
Sheriff Scott Jenkins, his wife Patricia, and their family have
been dragged through hell by a corrupt and weaponize Biden

(26:01):
DJ In fact, during his trial, when Sheriff Jenkins tried
to offer exculpatory evidence to support himself, the Biden judge
Robert Bluu refused to allow it, shut him down, and
then went on a tirade. So the sheriff is a
victim of an overzealous Biden Department of Justice. The law
does not matter, maga. This is this is what it
is voted for. This is what y'all got.

Speaker 17 (26:24):
Yeah, But the thing is, they are going to believe
the narratives that are you know, twisted and.

Speaker 18 (26:30):
Told from their perspective.

Speaker 17 (26:31):
They're going to believe the lie that you just read
that this was some sort of you know, activist Biden
Justice department that did something unfair and therefore what Trump
is doing now is making wrong right. They're going to
believe the lies. But here, but here's here's the broader
thing that really bothers me about this. I mean, we
can't just have one political party following the rules.

Speaker 18 (26:52):
We can't have that what kind of system is that right?
There is that is no system.

Speaker 17 (26:58):
And what I am seeing right now is that oftentimes
you hear people making the argument, well, you know, they
need to understand that when the other party gets in power,
they could do this stuff too. They're doing it because
they don't believe that the Democrats have the balls to
do it, and they're not seeing any evidence that they're
being taken to.

Speaker 18 (27:15):
Tasks for doing it, so why pull back?

Speaker 17 (27:19):
And so they are just operating without any boundaries and
without any limits, and without any shame whatsoever, because that's
who they are. That is their criminal essence. And I
will just lastly say that he may have found the
one business he cannot bankrupt. Okay, this is going to
be the one business he can't bankrupt. Okay, definitely, he

(27:39):
can bankrupt this country, absolutely, but he has found the way,
he has found a way that he can make as
much money as humanly possible while in this position without
having to suffer any consequences. And that's because he is
not being kept to task, put to task by anyone.

Speaker 18 (28:00):
He is literally acting lawlessly.

Speaker 17 (28:02):
And unless we are able to figure out how can
we can get some boundaries onto him through some other
sort of cases brought to the course because right now
the courts are the last thing. It seems like that's
the last barrier between him and utter complete one thousand
percent lawlessness. Uh, that's the only thing that's holding what's

(28:24):
left of our rule of law together right now. But
we all know that's strongly under attack by this administration.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
I mean, Mustafa listen to the sheer arrogance and the
I don't know of soul call Christian house speaking Republican
Mike Johnson, big tap of clips for any c and
e clips. But this I gotta play this one.

Speaker 22 (28:49):
You oversaw as speaker a congressional investigation into President Biden's
ties to his son Hunter's questionable business dealings to enrich him.
You seem to think it was your responsibility to look
into this sort of thing.

Speaker 11 (29:03):
Then, yeah, Jake.

Speaker 23 (29:08):
A big important distinction the Biden crime family is they
were named earned that title why because the used shell companies,
fake LLCs, series of what appeared to be money laundering operations.
And Hunter Biden, of course, with his difficult past and
the corruption in his past, the family on the public

(29:28):
dole or on the president's dole. You know, the president
lied about his involvement in the business dealings, all of that,
the evidence just piled up, and by the way, at
the same time, the evidence of his diminished mental capacity
subject of your book. Of course, I wish it had
been published a year earlier, because everybody saw it.

Speaker 20 (29:45):
Everybody saw what was happening.

Speaker 23 (29:47):
He used the auto pin and by the way, there's
investigations right now going on in the House Jamie Comber
in the Oversight Committee, or we'll be investigating the use
of the autopen when the president's mental capacity declined, and
whether all those things are even legally valid now given
the obvious fact that he was not the one making
the decisions. It's huge implications from all this, and so

(30:09):
I think the American people had reason to doubt, and
we had great reason and I think a responsibility to
investigate those things. The difference, of course, is that President
Trump does everything out in the open. He's not trying
to hide anything. There's no shell companies or fake LLC's
or fake family businesses. He's putting it out there so
everybody can evaluate for themselves.

Speaker 22 (30:28):
On the book, I wish that more than two hundred
people that talk to me and Alex Thompson, my co author.
After election, I sure wish that they had talked to
us a year ago.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
I agree with you on that.

Speaker 22 (30:38):
But on this matter with the crypto, shouldn't we at
least just know who was at the dinner? Wouldn't you
want to know that list of people?

Speaker 24 (30:47):
I guess.

Speaker 23 (30:47):
I mean again, I don't know anything about that dinner.
I do know that President Trump is the most transparent
president in the most transparent administration probably in history. He
has nothing to hide, and he's out there trying to
advance America's entry. That's what America First policies are all about,
and that's what our big reconciliation bill will deliver for
the people.

Speaker 12 (31:05):
We're really proud of the product.

Speaker 22 (31:06):
Mister speaker right now, you have a lot of military
veterans and gold Star families in your congression.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
So that's how we let him answer that. Oh, Trump
hass nothing to hide. I mean he's doing out of
the open. Oh you're right, he's corrupt to ask him stop,
but he's doing right on the open. But to go, oh,
I don't see you think? I mean Trump's not created
show companies.

Speaker 11 (31:30):
Yes he is.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Michael Cohen right there shows you how these thugs are
just go me see nothing, me here nothing, he's mister transparent.

Speaker 15 (31:49):
Well, you know, there's a lot to unpack there.

Speaker 14 (31:50):
First, we'll start with the people who are asking the questions,
the reporters, and them not doing their job when they
hear falsehood's being shared and not stopping it right there.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Just straight lies.

Speaker 14 (32:01):
Yeah, but you know that that's a part of the problem,
right You've got so many folks who are shook that
they won't do their jobs.

Speaker 15 (32:08):
When we talk about jobs, also, the Speaker of the House.

Speaker 14 (32:10):
There have been Speakers of the House in the past
when they saw presidents who were not doing the right
thing that we're willing to speak out and to push
and to utilize their power and their responsibility to do
the right thing. And then, of course, as we've talked about,
the grift is real in relationship to what this administration

(32:31):
is doing.

Speaker 15 (32:32):
But you know, they just going to.

Speaker 14 (32:33):
Continue to stack dollars as long as they are allowed
to do so because there's nobody who is pushing back.

Speaker 15 (32:38):
There's no accountability and you know, so their figure, you know,
why not go ahead and do it.

Speaker 14 (32:43):
It is a bit troublesome when they try to equate
the actions that they are doing with what, you know,
what's going on in relationship to the Biden administration, because
you know, President Biden did not have a business, he
was not caught up in any type of you know, malfeasance.
But then when we've slip it back to these folks,
it's hard to find when they are not doing something

(33:04):
that is unethical or criminal possibly, So you know, again,
you've got to speak out.

Speaker 16 (33:10):
We've got to hold all these various people accountable.

Speaker 14 (33:13):
You know, whether it's the folks on Capitol Hill, it's
the reporters or others, to actually stand up and do
their job.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
Cameron, des are thugs. They are going to mind we've
even hit the sixth month. Their whole deal is is
literally they're like bank robbers. Yo, take everything, take the money,
take the desk, strip the walls, everything. They see this

(33:40):
as a four year crime spree.

Speaker 20 (33:45):
I agree. I will agree with the speaker in one thing.

Speaker 21 (33:47):
This is the most transparent president in history, most transparently
criminal president in history. To the point that Grift is real.
The thing that we have to do as a American people,
The thing we have to do is black folks. The
thing we consistently have to do. We wrote Trump a
blank check to do all of this. Last year when

(34:08):
the Supreme Court came out and said the president in
any official act, has immunity from criminal prosecution. Once we
set that up Trump, they lined up every single thing
they could do. Like I said, from this Vietnam, from
pay to play, Hey you need a pardon, come to
a million dollar dinner.

Speaker 20 (34:28):
I got you, I got you, I got you. We
lined that.

Speaker 21 (34:31):
We lined that up, and the Supreme Court lined up
Trump in order to allow for this grift to happen.
I think the thing that we need to now tie
this to is Trump. Well, he says he may run again.
Trump is not going to be president in the next
three years. But what we do need to tie is
every single thing that Trump is doing. We need to
tie all these grifts, tie all these these these blatant

(34:53):
and one acts of criminality to every governor, to every mayor,
and definitely to every member of in every single election.

Speaker 20 (35:02):
They only always should be answering for him.

Speaker 21 (35:05):
Because with the Speaker just showed there is that he has,
he doesn't care because he probably doesn't see that affecting
him or affecting his office or his position.

Speaker 20 (35:13):
But when they start seeing real losses like in Virginia
this year, or or in other.

Speaker 21 (35:17):
States and cities at the at the gubernatorial level, the
state legislator level, and at the congressional level.

Speaker 20 (35:23):
Better believe Trump is gonna have some pushback.

Speaker 21 (35:26):
But we can't go after him, but we need to
go after everybody who's supporting him and putting him in power.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
These people are literal just thugs, That's what they are.
And uh, and the writers like, now, we're good, We're good,
We're good, no problem, We're just gonna go along with it.
And hey, it's we see nothing. I mean, Jessica Tarlov
was on Fox News and and she was going off
ripping these fools and like the the the flat out

(35:57):
excuses they and they were just sitting here just laughing
like it was no big deal, Like why is she
bringing why is she bringing these things up? Like, I mean,
watch this, I'm telling you right now, Like you cannot
remotely convince me that if Obama, Biden, Harris, Clinton, Carter, LBJ, Kennedy, Truman,

(36:22):
FDR we can keep going Democrat? Did this?

Speaker 11 (36:27):
Stop it?

Speaker 1 (36:29):
Y'all y'all just making a big deal out of this
here they Fox News is literally laughing. That's why I
don't trust the Line Network. That's why they got slapped
with a seven hundred and eighty seven million dollar settlement
because over dominion they are liars and they support liars.
Watch this, Josh tell him.

Speaker 25 (36:51):
I loved is zapad and Greg mentioned a staggering level
of corruption, and I just got a note that the
staggering level of corruption from last night's meme coin dinner.
That's of Donald Trump's wealth has been accumulated since he
became president because of two crypto coins. The New York

(37:11):
Times did interviews with foreign buyers of this cryptocurrency who
came over here to have dinner with him, a guy
from South Korea.

Speaker 18 (37:18):
This is not even part of this segment.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
We're talking about a dame.

Speaker 25 (37:23):
Let's be talking about who's corrupt and who is the American?

Speaker 1 (37:28):
Did he try to cover that up?

Speaker 26 (37:29):
I don't think so, Carol.

Speaker 22 (37:31):
You're you're defending an administration that covered up a dying leader,
and you're sitting.

Speaker 26 (37:37):
Here going but mean coin, mean coin Bill.

Speaker 14 (37:41):
All right, let's call a chance to clean it up,
real quick, clean on my side.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
Of so oh, because he's robbing the bank and live
streaming it. Hey, it's no big deal. Not doing it privately,
He's doing this publicly. I told you these people they
have and I will say it again, Today's Republican Party,

(38:07):
These mag of people, these conservative these evangelicals. What did
I tell Chris Christi September twenty twenty one. They have
no morals, they have no values, they have no principles,
they have no ethics, they have no decency. They are
lawless thugs, and that's what they are. They are hypocrites.

(38:29):
And I don't want to hear them complain about anybody.
They acted a fool when Obama wore a tan suit
and Donald Trump is literally raping and pillaging the country
and Fox News, conservative talk radio, digital conservative media, they're like,
oh stop it, don't stop it. Y'all making a big

(38:52):
deal out of nothing because he's doing it in the open,
and we see how the gript is happening, and they're
perfectly fine with it. They all can go to hell. Folks,

Speaker 1 (41:41):
You are watching Roland Martin unfiltered boy.

Speaker 7 (41:46):

Speaker 11 (41:48):

Speaker 1 (41:53):
Course he's unfiltered. Would you expect anything less?

Speaker 11 (41:56):
Why watch?

Speaker 1 (41:57):
Watch, watch what happens next? All right, folks, this entrepreneur

(42:24):
knows all about faith, family, and flavor. Reggie Kelly may
have made a name for himself on the football field
thirteen seasons in NFL, but his heart has always been
in the kitchen. Born and raised in Aberdeen, Mississippi, Reggie
grips surrounded by love lessons than soul food. After hanging
up his cleats, he and his wife took the family
tradition and turned it into a booming business, Kavan Foods,

(42:46):
named after their kids rooted in the recipes that brought
their families together. Joining us right now is the founder
of the company, Reggie.

Speaker 11 (42:53):
How you doing?

Speaker 15 (42:55):
I'm doing great, mister Martin, how's it going doing great?

Speaker 11 (42:59):
First off?

Speaker 1 (42:59):
Is it vonds pronounced please can foods? Kyvin Foods?

Speaker 11 (43:05):
Kind of?

Speaker 1 (43:05):
So when did you started?

Speaker 15 (43:08):
Well, we started the business in two thousand and eleven.
And you know when I was when I was a kid,
I grew up next door to my grandmother Roland, and
my family always told me, baby, when you cook, make
sure you do it with love. So I've always loaned
to pass down to my kids, Kyler and Kaven and
to everyone the gift that's been passed down to me
and appreciation of this.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
So what type of food do y'all have?

Speaker 15 (43:34):
We have multiple categories from salsa to barbecue, sauces, to seasonings,
lands to jams and jelly with our honey apple butter.
We also have salad dressings as well, So we try
to focus on multiple categories, right, and our line just
has multiple tons of different flavor options as well.

Speaker 2 (43:53):
Uh, and.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
How did it come about? How did that start?

Speaker 25 (43:57):
Like?

Speaker 1 (43:57):
What what was the what was the spark?

Speaker 2 (44:00):
Say?

Speaker 1 (44:00):
You know what, let's do our own thing.

Speaker 15 (44:03):
Well, you know, first, I would like to say I've
had a smooth transition rolling from football to food, or
as I like to call it, from the gridiron to
the cash down. You know, when I was a player,
I used to throw free football camps for the kids
in my hometown of Aberdeen, Mississippi. I wanted to reward
the kids who exemplified great academic excellence. So I want

(44:24):
the kids to understand that when you work hard and
when you do good, expect good and hard work pays off.
And so I threw a free football camp for the kids.
I flew my teammates down to reward the kids, gave
them free NFL Jeffree Pepperneer, and the kids had an
absolute last After the football camps were over, and for
that matter, after any event in Mississippi, Oh, you're going

(44:44):
to have some good food. So my family and my
wife's family cooked for all the volunteers, and I tell you,
my teammates couldn't stop raving about our family recipes, to
the point when one of my team wife called my
wife and said, you guys really need to do something
with these family recipes. I had no interest in being
an entrepreneur, had no interest in the food industry. As
a matter of fact, around that time, my head coach,

(45:06):
Marvin Lewis convinced me that my next plan of action
should be to be an NFL executive or either the
league office in Manhattan or be in basically the front
office of an NFL franchise. So that was the course
of action that I wanted to take. But mulling it
over and talking to my wife over and over again,
we decided to become entrepreneurs. And then name is business

(45:27):
after our kids. So the word kite and basically comes
from our kids. My daughter her name is Kyler, my
son's name is Kavin. We combined the two to come
up with Kitener. So just like any parents, we want
to leave a great legacy behind to our kids, a
tangible legacy to our cas We're definitely trying to do that.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
What year did you open the business? Two eleven, twenty eleven,
So here we are now in fourteen years. Greatest lesson
you learned last fourteen.

Speaker 15 (45:53):
Years on marketing? Obviously, marketing or brand is definitely the
life and his all. Also definitely that can be the
depth of a business, and you have to make sure
that you establish great relationships through marketing. We do understand
that some of the big brands five hundred companies, they
have the working capital right, also have the personnel, they

(46:14):
have the experience, they have the marketing strategy to ensure
that they're going to have longevity and sustainability within their company.
But one time or ago, one time long ago, they
were small companies as well and they had to figure
it out. And so for me, my company being a
small company, we had to figure it out. The marketing piece.
We had to find our hero product, I liken it

(46:35):
to a franchise quarterback. We have to find the actual
demographic of people to market our brand too, and then
the correct content that's going to encourage consumers to take
a chance on our brand. And if we do it right,
which we have done the right, equals to a great
ROI customer acquisition and a high customer retention breaking.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
Now are you in stores? Are you doing director consumer?

Speaker 2 (46:57):
We do both.

Speaker 15 (46:58):
So the thing that our I really like, the sector
that I really like, or the entry that I really
like Roland, it's the food service industry where we service
a lot of hotels like the Hilton High Regency. My
biggest distributors are Cisco and then also US Foods, So
that's the sector that I really like, shipping our book
products to executive chefs and then they come up with

(47:19):
creative plans to come up with created menu items using
our products, creating masterpieces. I really enjoy that we also
focus on online and e commerce platform and yes, we
do also do bus breaking more retailers.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
Qasu from the panel, Let's see here.

Speaker 17 (47:35):
Alish, First, you know you said something about your origin
story those after camp good eating that people are having
in Mississippi. So I'm just curious because I know y'all
do it right in the South. So I'm just curious,
what's your favorite product that you sell and what are
your faw we make that you absolutely love?

Speaker 15 (47:57):
You know, I get that all the time, and I
would liken it to a parent.

Speaker 20 (48:02):
Right.

Speaker 15 (48:02):
A lot of people ask as far as with my
food company, what is your favorite product? What is the
best product? Well, sometimes you know, if if somebody may
ask a parent, who is your favorite child? Well, I'm
not d On Sanders. I'm not going to say that
both of my kids are absolutely my favorite. So when
it comes to my food like that, my babies do
and they all are my favorite. But I will say
this are mild honey apple sauca is our hero product.

(48:25):
That's what we start to brand with. And won't you
just take a trip with me. This product has robust tomatoes,
golden honey, crisp apples, garlic and peppers. Oh my, we
call it a saucer with soul because it was jazz
ay means honey Apple sauce is definitely our hero product,

(48:46):
is our franchised product, and it definitely turn heads.

Speaker 20 (48:50):
Wow, it sounds amazing. Pleasure to meet you.

Speaker 21 (48:57):
My question is being a former athlete being at the
highest level, the discipline, the hours, the behind the scenes
work that really goes for you to be.

Speaker 20 (49:07):
Able to play in the NFL for so long.

Speaker 21 (49:10):
What lessons and what lessons did you take from your
football career that you've been able to apply to starting
a business and growing it and becoming successful as an entrepreneur,
especially in such a tough market like the food industry.

Speaker 15 (49:24):
Yeah, very simply put, you know, those who succeed on
a consistent level right, those who can see on a
high level doing it right and on an upward trajectory,
They succeed because they do the small thing that those
who fail won't do. Success has always been wrapped around
doing the small, tedious, minute things that those who fail

(49:46):
either make excuses why they can't do it are simply
too lazy to do it. One of my old teammates,
Terrence Mathis, told me this when I was a rookie.
He said, look, listen, rook if you do the little
things right, the big things will always follow. We always
want to look at the master piece, big, the big
picture for what we fail to realize. If we just
do the small, minute, streamuous things that pull your hair out,

(50:10):
you can see if you do those things right, the
big things is going to automatically follow. So for me
with football, I learned to be extremely disciplined. I learned
to do small things right. They end up giving me
thirteen seasons in the NFL. I'm in my fourteen year.
I'm in the food in Embeverness industry as well, and
we follow those same guidelines, being consistent, great customer service,

(50:31):
doing what you say you're gonna do. Making sure that
you are likable, which I think a lot of people miss.
People do business with people that they like, So it's
important to be likable, be personal. If you do that,
it'll help bullshit your business well to take you to
the upper factory Outso.

Speaker 14 (50:47):
Wull Stafa, well, brother, congratulations for fourteen years, I got.

Speaker 15 (50:52):
Badly in the sip.

Speaker 14 (50:53):
So I'm curious what makes the food in the sip
different than in Louisiana or Texas.

Speaker 16 (50:59):
I know rolling, we don't have something to say about Texas,
So I'm just curious what.

Speaker 15 (51:02):
Makes your flavor different? You damn right, I do, go ahead, Well,
I will say this. You know, we always said we
make everything with love and my family I come from
a family of cooks, not from us family of chefs,
and we stick our feet in the corn callousness and
our well here Kayak Foods. We specialize in innovative in
most cases never before seeing food products. And the kicker

(51:25):
is most of our products only use clean, natural ingredients.
We kept to cook our products in small batches to
retain the nutrients, the quality and the flavor. And because
of those innovations, we have products like our ward winning
Honey out of Sausa, the first ever sweet potato barbecue sauce,
and we also have our grandmother approoved honey Apple Butter.

(51:46):
Because of our innovation, we've been featured on some major
platforms like Forth they gave us an the War because
of our innovation, Food Network, Brown Eat This not that.
I'm also Sports Illustrated, and I think that our models
is it best one taste? Well, you appreciate the goodness.

Speaker 11 (52:07):
Formally?

Speaker 2 (52:08):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (52:09):
The packages? Uh what happened to Carol? Normally? Normally I
have a package to show on the set. Oh whin't
getting in time? Okay? So, uh, Reggie, that don't do
me no good? You holding up with me?

Speaker 15 (52:22):
The address I got you covered?

Speaker 20 (52:24):

Speaker 15 (52:25):
So, I mean, I just want to talk to me,
Fred there you go, and I'll make sure once we
get off the show, make sure you send me a
little some some address, and I make sure.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
All right, because I know, I trust me. I know
I'm gonna get a text any moment from my daddy
watching the show. And yeah, I know that's gonna happen.
So yeah, because because because you're right. See, he's a cook,
my brother's executive chef. Uh My mom does cakes, so

(52:57):
I grew up but cater betweenty three years my grandmother's
catering business. Uh so, yes, I have a discerning palatee

Speaker 1 (59:12):
This is Wendell Haskins aka Win Hogan at the Originative
Golf Classic and you know our watch Roland Martin's Unfiltered.

Speaker 21 (59:28):
Man.

Speaker 1 (59:28):
See this is Scott Pelly went off in a commistment
speech at Wake Forest where we talked about what's happened
in this country and oh my goodness, little maga world
in their feelings. Here's a portion of it.

Speaker 31 (59:47):
But in this moment, this moment, this morning, our sacred
rule of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack,
Universities are underattack, freedom of speech is underattack, and insidious fear.

Speaker 1 (01:00:12):
Is reaching.

Speaker 19 (01:00:15):
Through our schools, our businesses, our homes and into our
private thoughts, the fear to speak.

Speaker 32 (01:00:28):
In America.

Speaker 33 (01:00:32):
Power can rewrite history with grotesque, false narratives. They can
make criminals heroes and heroes, criminals. Power can change the
definition of the words we use to describe reality. Diversity

(01:00:56):
is now described as illegal, Equity is to be shunned.

Speaker 26 (01:01:02):
Inclusion is a dirty word.

Speaker 11 (01:01:09):
This is an old.

Speaker 32 (01:01:09):
Playbook, my friends. There's nothing new in.

Speaker 1 (01:01:13):
This well, y'all. You look at Twitter, look at his
Wake Forest graduates and their families deserve much better than
the ad men. Choosing Scott Pelly to give a hyper
policized but hurt commencement speech what a shit showed that
douchebag was competing with Tampon tim for most erratic, illogical,
irrationalist speech this season. Liberals, who once controlled speech and

(01:01:35):
the power to censor, are now set that the majority
of Americans now reject their lives. Interception sixty minutes Scott
Pelly raged at Trump in angry, unhinged commencement address at
wake Forest as he speaks openly and freely in America
and the gas lighting commencement speech of the year war
goes to Scott Pelly, whose hard hitting investigative reporting remained
definitely silent over the last four years while Americans across

(01:01:58):
the country were suffering unspeedo horrors while the inmates ran
the asylum and they these people could use their platforms
to affect real change for the American people, but their
neo liberal Marxist ideologies will not permit them. It is
very sad that CBS sixty minutes Scott Pelly chose one
of the happiest days for graduates and their family to
display his undeniable case of TDS. Trump de arrangement syndrome.

(01:02:22):
Wake Forest University should be ashamed that it allowed this
to take place. He never actually said Donald Trump's name Mustafa,
so hit dog will holler, all.

Speaker 15 (01:02:38):
Right, they're just feeling guilty.

Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
Right.

Speaker 14 (01:02:40):
All he did was talk about facts, you know, and
you know, we got the receipts for everything that he
talked about. And it's just amazing that we allow, you know, groups,
these small groups of folks to try and just create
all this disinformation and misinformation and.

Speaker 15 (01:02:57):
Just change everything out. So, you know, I was pleasantly surprised.

Speaker 14 (01:03:02):
I mean, when you're a keynote, excuse me, when you're
giving the commencement speech, I've only done it a few times.

Speaker 15 (01:03:07):
You know, it's about bringing some humor, but it.

Speaker 14 (01:03:09):
Is also talking about a reflection of what the world
looks like in your opportunity to help it to become better.
So you know, he called out the challenges that are
in front. But he also, if you watch everything that
he said, talk about our own personal responsibility in this
moment to make change happen. So you know, if you
weren't doing negative things, then you wouldn't have anything to

(01:03:30):
worry about. If what he said wasn't true, you wouldn't
have anything to worry about. But you know, folks, know
that all he did was bring forward, you know, the
truth that we are living with in this particular moment.

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
They are just really they're really hadn't bothered Cameron. I'm like,
I'm shorry. He didn't mention you're a guy. Why are
you in your feelings?

Speaker 21 (01:03:54):
I mean, they stay in their feelings. And I think
this goes back to some of the previous stories that
when when their side decides to politicize, the decides to
do so many different illegal things, But when when we
just point out I mean, he was just pointing out facts,
He's pointing out history, He's pointing out what we can
all see playing out in front of us. I think

(01:04:16):
the twitterverse, the right, the right wing twitterverse, is going
to constantly find something up in arms UH and and
the Trump supporters, and and that that MAGA crowd consistently
lives in an alternate reality where they don't see what's
happening right in front of them.

Speaker 20 (01:04:34):
But I applaud him.

Speaker 21 (01:04:35):
I applaud him for using utilizing that platform to be
able to to instill at least hopefully that next generation
UH with some morals because they're not getting it from
the White House, and they're not getting it from those
Twitter trolls that you that that that seemed to be
attacking him, Davis, You.

Speaker 17 (01:04:54):
Know, absolutely, And I find it very ironic that they're
talking about him politicizing a speech when I happen.

Speaker 18 (01:05:00):
To remember, I'm old enough to remember when Trump.

Speaker 17 (01:05:04):
Was standing in front of West Point wearing a Make
America Great hat. I happened to remember him just going
off at nauseum about nothing, everything from trophy wives to
all sorts of other ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (01:05:21):
And didn't stick around and shake their hands, like.

Speaker 18 (01:05:25):
He had to rush back.

Speaker 17 (01:05:27):
Because of some crisis that ended up being him running
around on his own damn golf course.

Speaker 18 (01:05:31):
Okay, so that's who we're talking about.

Speaker 17 (01:05:34):
And the last thing I will say super quickly is
the fact that, quite frankly, their response made everything that
he said. It provided an example of everything that he
said in terms of how they make right wrong and
wrong right, how they make up lies.

Speaker 18 (01:05:50):
And just decontextualize things.

Speaker 17 (01:05:54):
Exactly what he said in his speech is actually what
they proved by their off the reaction.

Speaker 1 (01:06:02):
Yeah, I mean it's truly amazing. Now. Uh you watch
News Nation, right wing network, y'all, that's what it is, okay,
And they have Leland Vinter, formerly a Fox News on
their network. Well guess what he had this sister Dashidia Medea,
who is a South African journalist who let's just say,

(01:06:24):
she had the gut check all the lies this fool
was saying. I don't think Vinter has even even been
to South Africa. Damn sure, ain't read nothing about South Africa.
So if y'all want to see a fantastic job. Now,
this is all following, of course, the President of South Africa,
Surreal Ramafosa, coming to the White House and meeting with
that idiot Trump, who then showed him some videos that

(01:06:47):
was a lot, some photos that were some photos that
were from the Congo and all that sort of stuff
like that, and he was just straight up lying, and
so she had to check Leland, and boy, this was masterful. Rope,
welcome to.

Speaker 13 (01:07:05):
The program, Thank you, Thank you. Were you surprised when
you saw that?

Speaker 34 (01:07:09):
No, not necessarily as amused by the latest gimmick, for sure,
but surprised not so much. I think the sou African delegation,
su African journalists, they've been talking about it.

Speaker 4 (01:07:18):
We knew the president would walk into some sort of trap.

Speaker 34 (01:07:21):
It's not surprising the invite, was there, the desire for
the conversation to open up the channels between the USA
and South Africa are They's been trying by all means
to try and open up the doors again.

Speaker 4 (01:07:34):
And so no, no one was surprised. Did you expect
the last to be turned off and a visual illustration?

Speaker 2 (01:07:39):
No?

Speaker 13 (01:07:39):
Not that fair that that is the sort of the
new reality with Donald Trump. The issue here, I think
is an important one about what is actually happening in
South Africa. Is it true that white farmers are being
killed in South Africa.

Speaker 34 (01:07:57):
It's an interesting way that you've asked that question. I
don't think the issue is what's happening in South Africa.
I think the issue is what's being peddled about what's
happening in South Africa.

Speaker 4 (01:08:04):
If you watch Today's What's Happening. Let me get to
the point first.

Speaker 34 (01:08:08):
If you watch that entire engagement, the recognition, the painful recognition,
the startling truth of crime in South Africa, valid crime
was actually acseed by everybody there from South Africa. Is
it targeted towards a specific group?

Speaker 4 (01:08:21):
Is it an ethnic cleansing?

Speaker 34 (01:08:23):
That's the question, right, based on what's been said about
South Africa the world over, at.

Speaker 4 (01:08:27):
Least people are large. That's not a fact.

Speaker 13 (01:08:30):
Okay, So we don't deny that there's a lot of
violent crime in South Africa. Right, seven times the murder
rate across the book. So the issue is whether or
not I guess whites are being targeted disproportionately. Is that
what you're taking issue with, No.

Speaker 34 (01:08:47):
That would be the claim. The issue is that the
claim is falsehood. White people are not being Targetedn't.

Speaker 13 (01:08:55):
Just people chanting kill, kill, you have to kill to
be part of a revolution?

Speaker 2 (01:08:59):
On and on.

Speaker 13 (01:09:00):
He was talking about killing blacks or killing white.

Speaker 34 (01:09:02):
Do you need the context of what that song is
because you can't take out the context of what that
is that is actually important it cannot be that he's
giving an instruction where that's not the fact. I think
we do need to take into consideration the context. What
he's chanting is an anti apartheid song that was saying
by leaders and the lead up to apartheid. The back
and forth today about that song is whether or not

(01:09:23):
it's relevant in modern days of Africa.

Speaker 4 (01:09:25):
Should we still be singing that song if there's a
grouping in the country.

Speaker 13 (01:09:28):
How can somebody be defending and singing a song that's
talking about killing other people.

Speaker 34 (01:09:35):
I'm not defending singing the song. I'm saying too, that's
the conversation that you.

Speaker 13 (01:09:38):
Think farmers would be scared when they heard.

Speaker 34 (01:09:40):
That song, And that's the question that's been put to you,
Lesus Madame. I said to you that conversation is happening.
It's put to you Lesus Ma Dame, and that when
you do this, this is what we worry about. But
when you look at whether how long he's been singing
the song and whether it correlates to the numbers of
farmers under attack, particularly white people, it's not there people
the farm gellers and farm workers also reality.

Speaker 13 (01:10:00):
That's farmers are not being targeted or white farmers are
not being killed. Why are so many who have big
landholdings willing to give up their entire lives to come
to America.

Speaker 4 (01:10:11):
Where are they show them to me? We had them
lands on people are not farmers.

Speaker 34 (01:10:15):
The plenty of reports of South Africa that many of
those are not farmers.

Speaker 4 (01:10:18):
Those are chances. Please again for me the evidence.

Speaker 34 (01:10:22):
Those are people taking on opportunity America has given them,
not farmers.

Speaker 13 (01:10:27):
I'm just trying to figure this out. You're saying that
your president has not in any way targeted whites, even
though Elon Musk who was there, can't get whites in
for his business.

Speaker 4 (01:10:37):
He was aware in the Oval office. He was in
the O office. He's never been in South Africa.

Speaker 34 (01:10:40):
When was the last time you know, muscles enough but
he can't get He can't give us the last time
he was stuff his father you know must father can't.

Speaker 13 (01:10:45):
Out when he was there.

Speaker 4 (01:10:47):
I want to also maybe understand accusation.

Speaker 13 (01:10:49):
The accusation is is that many whites cannot get licenses
to do business among them.

Speaker 34 (01:10:53):
Elon Musk so were forced to undermine our transformative laws.
We must be okay with the Southern with the majority
that is denied of their own land, where the majority
is deprived of access to economic transformations and means of production.
We must be okay and not move the needle in
any way to try and figure. We must be okay
with South Africa being labeled the most unequal country in

(01:11:14):
the world and not trying to do anything to ratify that,
because that's what that arguments pass.

Speaker 4 (01:11:19):
No, but the fact that there are laws matter is
they must be paid for an individual.

Speaker 1 (01:11:23):
No, that is what the question is.

Speaker 13 (01:11:25):
But if you make laws that target a certain race.

Speaker 4 (01:11:28):
But there are none of those, where are those lands?

Speaker 34 (01:11:30):
You're calling me as a journalist from South Africa and.

Speaker 4 (01:11:32):
You're putting those to me. I'm asking you for the proof.

Speaker 34 (01:11:35):
Donald Trump today, I'm sorry, I'm going to have to
lecture a little bit. Donald Trump today called us in there,
so he's got proof of a genocide. So Africa has
gone to the ICJ saying that they believe.

Speaker 4 (01:11:48):
They put evidence on the table. They put evidence on.

Speaker 1 (01:11:52):
The table.

Speaker 4 (01:11:54):
Or not proof of genocide.

Speaker 34 (01:11:55):
A private monument with fake crosses and not actual grave
sites does not of the general side, I don't believe
that I've been called in You have to defend the
indefensible those things.

Speaker 1 (01:12:04):
I'm facts, don't trump.

Speaker 14 (01:12:06):
To say that.

Speaker 13 (01:12:07):
You say that we obviously have the present, Thank you
very much.

Speaker 1 (01:12:14):
That's sister. If you work on Leland Vintorch's show, if
you are an executive at News Nation, you should be
utterly embarrassed by what you witnessed. They had no clue

(01:12:34):
the people are leaving large mounts of land, No they
or not? Well, we heard them at the airport. Who
are they? No facts, no nothing. That's the sheer stupidity
of mainstream white media.

Speaker 12 (01:12:48):
Avis.

Speaker 17 (01:12:50):
Well, you know, I don't believe it's stupidity. I think
it is intentional misdirection and redirection. You know what I
find very interesting is that all of this concern about
this myth of white genocide and the fact that you
have a president who has basically said, if you are

(01:13:13):
of color, the doors are closed. I don't care what's
happening in your country. I don't care if your life
is in danger. I don't care if you're facing famine,
war torn situations.

Speaker 11 (01:13:24):
You can't come here.

Speaker 18 (01:13:25):
But these unknown white folk who benefited.

Speaker 17 (01:13:32):
From damn near half a century of apartheid get to
come here.

Speaker 18 (01:13:38):
Sight, unseen, proof, not necessary. They get to come here.

Speaker 17 (01:13:42):
And what I find interesting is during apartheid, this country
did not give that open door, that place of receipt
in terms of allowing people to escape real murder, oppression,
unlawful imprisonment. They didn't provide that to black South Africans

(01:14:05):
who were being oppressed by the white africaners. And so
the fact that you have News Nation doing this, which
tries to prop itself up as a journalistic enterprise, tells
me that it's nothing more than a propaganda engine not
too far removed from Fox News if they didn't at

(01:14:27):
least do their due di delicen to determine the basic facts.

Speaker 18 (01:14:31):
It was brought out in that interview.

Speaker 1 (01:14:33):
All it was mustava was well Trump said this year,
I mean that that that's that's what. That's how that
idiot Scott Jennings sounded on CNN when he was like, well,
farmers are being killed, and the Philip goes how many,
well several name them.

Speaker 26 (01:14:49):
He couldn't. So they're just sitting here and they're.

Speaker 1 (01:14:52):
Like, well, yeah, I don't I don't trust these, So
that the world of the South African government, we don't
trust your lad ass or try.

Speaker 14 (01:15:01):
Right, or the United Nations or are intelligence folks. There
are plenty of folks, I'm sure who have shared with
them that there is no white genocide happening in South Africa.

Speaker 15 (01:15:11):
Let's say it.

Speaker 14 (01:15:11):
Again, so everybody understands there is no genocide happening in
South Africa.

Speaker 15 (01:15:19):
To white folks.

Speaker 16 (01:15:20):
And because you know so, there's two different dynamics that
are here.

Speaker 14 (01:15:23):
One either though the President has received terrible information and
whoever gave it to him should be fired, or he
intentionally is lying to the American people. I'll let folks
decide for themselves which one of those is the dynamic.

Speaker 15 (01:15:38):
If he truly wanted to.

Speaker 14 (01:15:39):
Talk about South Africa as Doc was just talking about,
you would understand that through the history, whether it's the
Sharpville massacre that went on, black folks are the ones
that were being killed there, or the Sueto uprisings it
was black folks that were being killed underneath of the
apartheid government that was going on there, or you went
to the townships or other locations where there were people

(01:16:01):
who were being killed, or.

Speaker 16 (01:16:02):
Steven Bico who was killed as well.

Speaker 14 (01:16:06):
So we can go through a laundry list of massacres
that have happened in South Africa underneath of an oppressive regime.
So if he truly wanted to talk about the fullness
of what has happened there and wanted to actually be
someone who helps the healing, then he shouldn't tell things
that are untrue or things that are just straight out live.

(01:16:28):
So I'll let folks figure out for themselves which one
that they feel is going on there. But you know,
everybody has a responsibility also, because when somebody insults your
intelligence and you will continue to allow them to do
that day after day after day, then it also says
something about the individuals who continue to receive that information
and trust that information and therefore don't act on the

(01:16:51):
things that actually need to happen. So I appreciate the reporter.

Speaker 15 (01:16:55):
Who made sure that she shared what the truth is
that she actually gave.

Speaker 16 (01:16:59):
You know, a great example about how you don't let
people pull you away.

Speaker 14 (01:17:03):
From so the anchoring of the facts, because that's what
the other individual trying to continually do.

Speaker 21 (01:17:09):
Cameron, Yeah, I applaud her coming to the table with facts,
But I would argue that News Nation and they throw
that word news in their title, given that they have
no journalistic standards or even adherence to the truth or facts.

Speaker 20 (01:17:26):
News Nation is kind of.

Speaker 21 (01:17:27):
Reveling in this right now because everybody talking about it
gets more eyeballs there.

Speaker 20 (01:17:34):
They have an agenda. It's very clear.

Speaker 21 (01:17:36):
I won't let people figure it out from themselves. There
is no genocide happening in South Africa. In News Nation
is peddling these, like I said, these falsehoods or at
least these false premises. It feels that and how he
responded and looked to pivot and go back to either
the Trump talking points Elon Musk was there, implying he was.

Speaker 20 (01:17:57):
In South Africa. No, Elon Musk was in the was
it was in the Oval office.

Speaker 21 (01:18:02):
I think this, this, this entire story, in this entire
falsehood in farce is probably just a byproduct of Elon Musk,
who's looking, Who's who's a former South African or originally
from South Africa? Uh, kind of looking and bringing something
to Trump's attention that with all his support he's been
he's been focused on trying to get Trump to to

(01:18:24):
rectify uh.

Speaker 11 (01:18:25):
There.

Speaker 20 (01:18:26):
But it kind of disgusted me with the News Nation
report there.

Speaker 21 (01:18:30):
But I applaud that sister, and I applaud her for
standing on those facts and consistently not letting herself be
cut off, but allowing to center that conversation.

Speaker 11 (01:18:39):
In fact, his love.

Speaker 1 (01:18:49):
Declaim they loved Jesus. Y'all. We're gonna go to a
quick break. We come back. Wait, did I show y'all
how they got owned by Texas state representative over the
Ten Commandments? They're really stupid back in.

Speaker 12 (01:19:02):
The moment, I mean soon to the black start.

Speaker 2 (01:19:09):
Let's go.

Speaker 30 (01:19:10):
and now exclusively on our own channel.

API Heritage Month, and we're talking with our brilliant friend
Melivika Cannon.

Speaker 10 (01:19:59):
Nothing about these alle sciences is necessarily natural, except for
to stay safe.

Speaker 8 (01:20:04):
Tune in only on the other side of change on
the Black side.

Speaker 25 (01:20:08):
Network Hatred on the streets, a horrific scene, a white
nationalist rally that descended into deadly violence.

Speaker 1 (01:20:18):
Well, white people are losing their.

Speaker 12 (01:20:20):
Their minds.

Speaker 15 (01:20:22):
As a angry approach frum mob storm to the US capital.

Speaker 1 (01:20:25):
The show We're about to see the lives where I
call white minority resistance. We have seen white folks in
this country who simply cannot tolerate black folks voting.

Speaker 33 (01:20:36):
I think what we're seeing is the inevitable result of
violent denial.

Speaker 15 (01:20:41):
This is part of American history.

Speaker 35 (01:20:42):
Every time that people of color have made progress, whether
real or symbolic, there has been but Carol Anderson that
every university calls white rage as a backlash is the wrath.

Speaker 1 (01:20:53):
Of the Proud Boys and the Boogaaloo Boys America.

Speaker 11 (01:20:56):
There's going to be more of this.

Speaker 14 (01:21:00):
Treat just getting increasingly racist and its behaviors and its
attitudes because of the fear of white people.

Speaker 1 (01:21:07):
The food, that they're taking our jobs, they're taking out
our resources, they're taking out women.

Speaker 36 (01:21:12):
This is white Field, this is sample of man, and
this is David Mann. And you're watching roland Mark unfiltered.

Speaker 1 (01:21:38):
H always kind on Texas Republicans doing something stupid. So

(01:22:01):
UH they are pushing forward a bill to force UH
teachers to post the display UH donated plaques on the
commandments and classrooms all across Texas.

Speaker 11 (01:22:11):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:22:12):
Got a little awkward when Representative James tel Rico question
Representative Candy Noble, but the irony of when they voted
on the bill and how it relates to the Sabbath
day watch this madness?

Speaker 32 (01:22:28):
Does the general lady yield for some questions?

Speaker 11 (01:22:30):
Lady old questions?

Speaker 32 (01:22:30):
Lady yields, thank you? Representing Noble? What is the fourth Commandment?

Speaker 13 (01:22:38):
Are you?

Speaker 37 (01:22:39):
Are you referring to my to the the way it's
written in the bill? Yes, okay, right, Rabbit Sabbath keith
the Sabbath on Sath.

Speaker 7 (01:22:52):
It's about us being here on Saturday. Is that ironic
or what?

Speaker 2 (01:22:56):
So?

Speaker 32 (01:22:56):
What does it mean? To keep the Sabbath holy.

Speaker 37 (01:22:59):
Well, I I think it's uh. You want to get
into theology here, I'd love to like to. I think
it's really important that we take a day of rest.
I think I think God, who founded the world, didn't
need rest, and yet he took a day of rest
after after he did creation.

Speaker 7 (01:23:16):
And I think he was a good example to us
to take a day of rest.

Speaker 37 (01:23:20):
And and that is that is enshrined in our in
our in our rules, in our constitution, where it says
except accepting Sunday, in our in our very in our
very early documents as a nation.

Speaker 32 (01:23:35):
And so part of keeping the Sabbath holy is not
working on.

Speaker 7 (01:23:37):
The Sabbath that is that is yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:23:41):
And the day of rest the.

Speaker 38 (01:23:43):
Ten commandments come from Judaism. What day is the Jewish Sabbath?

Speaker 7 (01:23:48):
It is on Saturday.

Speaker 32 (01:23:49):
And what day is it today?

Speaker 7 (01:23:51):
It is Saturday.

Speaker 32 (01:23:53):
Here we are Christian Sabbath is what.

Speaker 7 (01:23:55):
Day Sunday in honor of the day that Jesus rose
from the dead.

Speaker 32 (01:23:59):
And we're scheduled to give this bill a final vote
on what day of the week.

Speaker 7 (01:24:03):
It's ironic, isn't it.

Speaker 38 (01:24:05):
Would you be willing to postpone your bills so that
we're not breaking the Ten Commandments by working on the
Jewish or Christian Sabbath.

Speaker 37 (01:24:13):
I love that you said that, because if we had
not had your point of order the other day, we
would have actually already completed that.

Speaker 18 (01:24:20):
And so.

Speaker 38 (01:24:23):
Represent noble you're saying that you'd rather tell people to
follow the Ten Commandments than follow it yourself.

Speaker 37 (01:24:29):
I would have rather have had this bill passed the
other day when it was time. And you know, that's really,
that's really sad that we are under such a crunch
in time now with the end of session. Our Texas
forefathers only gave us one hundred and sixty days to
pass bills, and that's where we are in this session.

Speaker 7 (01:24:49):
We as a legislature forty I'm sorry, correction, We as.

Speaker 38 (01:24:53):
A legislature are about to force every teacher in the
state to post the Ten Commandments in their classroom if
they are of the Texas legislature.

Speaker 32 (01:25:03):
Follow the Ten Commandments?

Speaker 24 (01:25:06):
About the bill?

Speaker 7 (01:25:07):
Is that about the bill?

Speaker 38 (01:25:08):
Your bill is about the Ten Commandments? Yes, they I'm
asking do members of this legislature follow the ten Commandment?

Speaker 7 (01:25:14):
So again, this bill is about honoring our.

Speaker 37 (01:25:17):
Historical, educational, and judicial heritage with the displaye of the
Ten Commandments.

Speaker 38 (01:25:25):
The ninth commandment is thou shalt not bear false witness?
Are you aware of any legislators who have lied about anything.

Speaker 13 (01:25:32):
Out of the laying in the cot that is.

Speaker 7 (01:25:37):
You know, you know there might be one coming up
in a minute. If you keep talking, we'll see.

Speaker 32 (01:25:42):
The seventh commandment is thou shalt not commit adultery?

Speaker 1 (01:25:45):
Yes.

Speaker 38 (01:25:49):
Do you think that members of the legislature should focus
more on trying to follow the Ten Commandments rather than
telling others to follow them?

Speaker 7 (01:25:56):
Maybe they didn't have them posted.

Speaker 15 (01:25:58):
I am, I am.

Speaker 37 (01:26:01):
You know it is incumbent on all of us to
follow God's law, and I think that we would be
better off if we did.

Speaker 38 (01:26:09):
That's a great segue into my next question, which is
do you think our public schools are missing God?

Speaker 37 (01:26:19):
Again, we are talking about historically what our founding fathers believed.
I have a lot of quotes from our founding fathers
if you want me to go there, and I would
love to do that if you would like me to.

Speaker 38 (01:26:34):
Well, you just mentioned God's law, so I was just
asking if you think our public schools are missing God's law.

Speaker 7 (01:26:43):
In some instances. Yeah, I would not.

Speaker 37 (01:26:46):
I think that there's some amazing teachers out there that
are showing an awful lot of Christian behavior and love
and concern to their students.

Speaker 7 (01:26:56):
So I'm not going to paint that broad of a
brush like you.

Speaker 38 (01:26:58):
Just did that seeing the Ten Commandments in a classroom
might make a student feel closer to God.

Speaker 7 (01:27:07):
Again, that is not the focus of this bill.

Speaker 37 (01:27:12):
The focus of this bill is to look at what
his historically important to our nationed both educationally and judicially.
But if you would like to look through some of
those textbooks that are on my desk, you will see
the foundation that our forefathers used when they learn to

(01:27:32):
read and write.

Speaker 38 (01:27:33):
In the committee hearing for this bill, you said that
students should see the Ten Commandments in their classroom and
remember quote God is watching.

Speaker 32 (01:27:42):
Is that correct?

Speaker 2 (01:27:43):
What?

Speaker 38 (01:27:45):
In the committee hearing for this bill you said that
students should see the Ten Commandments in their classroom and remember.

Speaker 32 (01:27:51):
Quote God is watching.

Speaker 38 (01:27:52):
I do not recall that you said it in response
to a question from represent of Bryant in the Public
Education Committee.

Speaker 32 (01:27:58):
You don't recall that.

Speaker 37 (01:27:59):
No, you do, though, you know that was like four
point thirty in the morning, so we were all pretty
sleep deprived. I don't remember in what response that was,
if indeed that was a response.

Speaker 7 (01:28:13):
I do, however, believe the lady's Thomas expired.

Speaker 11 (01:28:18):
Boy.

Speaker 1 (01:28:18):
I bet she was really happy her time was up. Cameron.

Speaker 20 (01:28:27):
It's funny how the right, and especially in Texas.

Speaker 21 (01:28:32):
I've got a lot of experience working in Texas, working
for the late great former Congresswoman Nady Bernice Johnson.

Speaker 20 (01:28:39):
How they promulgate.

Speaker 21 (01:28:42):
Being a Christian and Christian values, but they consistently find
as many ways to go against, whether it be the
Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes. Look at this bill they just
passed this past week, kind of taken from the poor.
It never holds up. It never holds up. It's they

(01:29:03):
like to shape it and twist it and use it
when it when it seems convenient. I loved I loved
the question uh and how he stayed calm, how he
stayed focused, how he stayed on facts, and it was
a pretty embarrassing moment for her. But I always challenge
Republicans when they say they're the party uh that focuses

(01:29:24):
on Christian faith, like as as your leader has, has
any of these leaders been breaking whether it be the
tim Commandments or any other Christian tenants.

Speaker 3 (01:30:00):
H yah, h.

Speaker 11 (01:30:35):
Yeah, mus stop.

Speaker 20 (01:30:38):
I have a question, Nick, what did you take? I'm sorry,
what did you take from that?

Speaker 21 (01:30:44):
Being around so many different folks on the right and
seeing seeing so much of that happened. Like like I said,
she was she was there defending this legislation, but obviously
he was able to call her to task on all
the way. She wasn't following those same commandments he one
on the walls.

Speaker 15 (01:31:01):
Yeah, no, I mean I think you hit it on
the head.

Speaker 14 (01:31:04):
But the other part of it was, you know, when
you start actually unpacking the Ten Commandments, you kind of
pull the air out of the room for a whole
bunch of these folks where you talk about stealing and
lying and a number of other things. You know, we
see that continually from the top all the way down,
that you're not living those particular sets of values. Now,

(01:31:25):
everybody has the opportunity to grow and evolve, but if
you want to put that front, you know, forward on folks,
then you should actually be living up to that. The
other thing, too, is everybody remembers the second part of
that that talks about false idols, and we see how
people continue to create these idols every day.

Speaker 15 (01:31:43):
But you know, we could move past.

Speaker 14 (01:31:44):
Sort of the theoretical, you know, conversation and actually talk
about you know what the First Amendment talks about, whether
it's no school sponsored prayer or or no mandatory religious
instructions or also when they're talking about no religious symbols
and endorsement.

Speaker 16 (01:32:00):
So if you're talking about putting the Ten Commandments up.

Speaker 15 (01:32:03):
On the wall in a public school.

Speaker 16 (01:32:06):
Then you know you're going against you know, what the
laws actually said.

Speaker 14 (01:32:10):
And there are all kinds of Supreme Court cases and
you know, folks will be like, well, those are just
woke cases. You can go all the way back to
nineteen sixty or Ingo versus Vitally, or you can look
at sixty three when you had Arlington versus Simp. All
these cases were actually building law around you know, no
school sponsored prayer or banning mandatory Bible readings. All these

(01:32:31):
things were making sure that there truly was a separation
between church and state.

Speaker 21 (01:32:38):
And Doc Davis would your thoughts, Yeah, I mean I
was about to go exactly where Mustapha lest left off?

Speaker 18 (01:32:45):
And where is the separation of church and state? Here
it is?

Speaker 17 (01:32:49):
You know, it makes me think just in practicalities, what
this would be like having the Ten Commandments in a classroom.
How does that feel to the student in the classroom,
who may be Muslim, who may be Jewish, who may
be agnostic, who may be atheist.

Speaker 18 (01:33:08):
Believe it or not, this is not a Christian nation.

Speaker 17 (01:33:12):
In fact, ironically, to hear the storybooks tell it, it
was founded by people who were running away from religious
prosecution as much as they were looking to get away
from a king right. And so to have the Republican
Party in its a typical hypocritical way in which they

(01:33:35):
seem to live their lives in every way humanly possible
is do what I say, not what I do. This
is another example of it where they are once again
sitting here in real time, as was brought out through
that conversation, working during the Sabbath, at a point in

(01:33:56):
which they wanted to say, hey, we want to elevate
the and commandments that says don't work through the Sabbath.

Speaker 18 (01:34:03):
And the others.

Speaker 17 (01:34:05):
The way that that questioner really teased out the other
contradictions around lying around adultery, I mean he could have,
really he could have been very petty with that, but
you could tell with his allusion to it.

Speaker 18 (01:34:15):
And her response to it.

Speaker 17 (01:34:17):
She knew that people in that room were guilty of
all the things that he was pointing out. And so
once again it's it's it's say banner and hypocrisy. But
at the same time, just in terms of practically how
it would show up the lives of those teachers and
of the students in those classrooms, it elevate it actually

(01:34:38):
and very clearly elevates one religion over the other, which
is specifically something that our constitution prohibits.

Speaker 21 (01:34:48):
I think the other the other point of this this
the showcases, especially in a place like Texas.

Speaker 20 (01:34:55):
I'm sorry, do we get you rolla theocracy?

Speaker 11 (01:35:00):
Do they want a theocracy?

Speaker 1 (01:35:01):
That's that's that's what they absolutely want. They want a theocracy.
It's pure and simple. And so we'll see what's going on.
So I'm gonna do this. You're gonna go to a
quick break and we come back.

Speaker 11 (01:35:09):
We're gonna show you our new production vehicle.

Speaker 1 (01:35:13):

Gonna be doing it. So that's next time, rolling my
unfils on the block Side Network.

Speaker 1 (01:36:07):

interview with mother fucker.

Speaker 2 (01:36:25):

Speaker 2 (01:39:01):
In inst in in in in in in inst in

(01:39:59):
inst m m m m.

Speaker 1 (01:40:46):
All right, folks, I am standing outside our offices at
the Black Shark Network, and man, we've been waiting for
this day. So y'all might remember December twenty twenty here
the images of the sprinter we got. We were broadcasting
in Atlanta. This allowed for us to be able to
we were trailing around the country. We actually broadcast from

(01:41:08):
this unit. We did marches and parades, I mean, we
covered live events. We broadcast from I mean Georgia, North Carolina,
all over. In July twenty twenty two, this happened. Deshaun Smith,
our driver, was traveling back from Essence and this guy
was playing road games, swerved in front of our sprinter.

Speaker 11 (01:41:31):
It rolled seven times and it was completely totaled.

Speaker 1 (01:41:36):
Deshaun walked out of the walked out of the front window,
praised the lord that he was not seriously injured. Ach
and pains and a few scratches, but that's what happened.
So for almost the last three years, man, we had
been going back and forth trying to get a replacement vehicle.
We were working with a black owned company in encounter

(01:41:57):
of some major issues.

Speaker 11 (01:41:59):
I'm an issue. I'm going to tell you about those details.

Speaker 1 (01:42:02):
Let's just say some action is being taken right now,
so I'm gonna let y'all know when that is all finalized.
And so we worked with another company out of Pennsylvania,
LGE Coachworks, and we chose we did not get a
sprinter this time because we knew what our needs are.

Speaker 11 (01:42:18):
They were much larger. So this is a Ford F
five fifty vehicle here. It is a thirty five foot vehicle.

Speaker 1 (01:42:27):
And if you might remember the sprinter that we had,
it actually had a fiberglass trunk, and we were talking
with the folks with Mercedes and other engineers. They thought
that that weight may have thrown off the weight of
the vehicles. So what we did was we wanted everything
to be self contained in this vehicle.

Speaker 11 (01:42:48):
So this is a forty eight inch a forty eight
inch forty.

Speaker 1 (01:42:54):
Eight inch trunk space allows us to carry a significant
amount of our gear when we are traveling around the country.
And so again all the different things that we need,
we're going to be able to have our gear in
here as well. Again, there's a lot of stuff that
we care People don't realize this, but there's a lot

(01:43:15):
of stuff that we're able to do.

Speaker 11 (01:43:17):
And so we have this here, and so let me
go ahead and close this here.

Speaker 1 (01:43:21):
And so then our cabine space is important because you
got to understand in terms of how we broadcast. So
for instance, when we did we were in Toulsa for
at one hundredth anniversary of the Race riot, we were
broadcasting a march and so we actually had cameras mounted
on the outside of the vehicle that was connected to
our setup on the inside.

Speaker 11 (01:43:43):
That's how we do that.

Speaker 1 (01:43:44):
And so now with some new technology, we're able to
do some different stuff with the technology, and so let's
go in side so we can understand.

Speaker 11 (01:43:52):
What now we're able to do.

Speaker 2 (01:43:55):
And so.

Speaker 1 (01:43:56):
We've got now we've got a couple of cameras on here.
I'm gonna be working with another camera. We're going to
have cameras and start all on the outside so that
actually happens again we'll be able to record exactly what happened.
And so once we then we're going to go inside
the vehicle here.

Speaker 11 (01:44:14):
Again, which allows us to be able to.

Speaker 1 (01:44:18):
So we come in. We're going to come in here,
and so let's say go ahead, go that way. I'm
gonna close this, so I'm having this come on. There's
a button I'm actually having added which allows us to
be able to close this right here, So we just
close that lot of piercing. So when we're in here, y'all,
I'm gonna come back here, we'll turn.

Speaker 11 (01:44:39):
The lights on.

Speaker 1 (01:44:40):
And so just so you can understand, this is a
larger vehicle than what we had last time. And so
the way we did it this way is that the
ability for us to be able to actually do interviews
from inside of here.

Speaker 30 (01:44:54):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:44:55):
And then when we're actually broadcasting, we could do a
one on one interview. We could put our show logo
up here in the television as well. We got a
second TV right here. We can actually mount cameras on
both sides of me right here, we can have a
camera in front. We have also railing up here uh
here as well, so obviously when the vehicle is moving,

(01:45:16):
we can actually actually mount cameras up there as well,
so we have that particular shot. Then it also gives
us the lighting is also different. So right now, uh,
you said just kill that light, keep up.

Speaker 11 (01:45:29):
For these lights. Uh so no, no, no, no, you
turn your lights on top of camera.

Speaker 1 (01:45:33):
Uh So kill that light.

Speaker 11 (01:45:35):
To turn it off, turn off completely, so allows us
to set the mood. So this is this is how
it looks in here. Uh, just natural lighting.

Speaker 2 (01:45:44):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:45:44):
And so when we we killed this light right here, Uh,
then all of a sudden, you have this is called
overhead lighting.

Speaker 11 (01:45:52):
That's what this lighting right here is.

Speaker 2 (01:45:54):
Uh.

Speaker 11 (01:45:55):
And then we have what's called kill that light, called
mood lighting.

Speaker 1 (01:45:59):
So you see, allows us to be able to light
all the lighting down down here.

Speaker 11 (01:46:05):
Then we have what it's called the next lighting here
and kill that one. So now you see how we
can now change the lighting in here to suit our needs.
Then if we want to have in direct lighting.

Speaker 1 (01:46:19):
So that's the lighting basically on the outside right here,
then of course if we really want to get created
and then we want complete color in here, then we're
able to change the lighting. So again, depending upon what
we're shooting, what we're working on, we can change all
of the lighting we have here. And so this is

(01:46:41):
what the vehicle allows us to do. We got bluetooth here,
we can control air conditioning right here, we can control
a heat right here. We have lots of connections here, HDMI, USV.
So what can happen is we can actually sit here,
and we can actually connect you can turn lights back on,

(01:47:02):
we can actually connect different items here, allow us.

Speaker 11 (01:47:05):
To be able to place some of TV as well.
And so let's say.

Speaker 1 (01:47:08):
There's somebody we're interviewing and they've got a music video,
they've got something along those lines, then we have the
ability to actually then connect in here and broadcast right
there onto the television. This as this picks up obviously
Wi Fi. Remember in Tulsa when President Biden was speaking,

(01:47:28):
they actually didn't have any camera, didn't have any monitors
or the audio outside, and so people were actually crowded
around our vehicle watching him speak and watching him also
present to the public.

Speaker 11 (01:47:43):
Obviously, we're on the road, So down here, what you have.

Speaker 1 (01:47:45):
You've got coolers down here, you got to say right there,
we've got water coolers down here. Then of course we've
got a refrigerator right here. Then we've got microwave right here,
and then listen, went road.

Speaker 11 (01:47:59):
I'm not trying to stop.

Speaker 1 (01:48:00):
And so that's why what we're able to do is
we've got just like our bathroom right here as well,
and so so allows us again to keep it moving
a lot of times, and we're broadcasting, we're sitting somewhere
for four or five, six, sometimes ten hours, and so
it's a whole lot when.

Speaker 11 (01:48:18):
You're out and obviously when that light is on.

Speaker 1 (01:48:21):
Occupied us right there, so we're able to again do
everything that we need. Seating in here is about eleven
and so we have those two captaives shares back here.

Speaker 11 (01:48:34):
And so one of the reasons why I had designed
this way again we operate totally different because we have
a cargo.

Speaker 1 (01:48:42):
As well as people, and so what happens is when
we're traveling, we don't let's say, all.

Speaker 11 (01:48:48):
Of a sudd we low back there.

Speaker 1 (01:48:49):
So we have our tents, we've got we got all
kinds stuff we carry, So we actually place our this
is protecting my cowboy hat.

Speaker 11 (01:48:58):
We actually place our.

Speaker 1 (01:48:59):
Self inside of the vehicle along the seats, and then
we're able to hold that stuff down.

Speaker 11 (01:49:05):
So we place stuff on the seats both.

Speaker 1 (01:49:07):
Sides, on the floor as well, so we'll we go
heavy with our gear. We'll pack all our stuff in here.

Speaker 11 (01:49:15):
We get our destination, all of our stuff, and then
now this becomes the passenger.

Speaker 1 (01:49:20):
Vehicle for us to be able to actually broadcast and
so we also of course have the ability to communicate
partition up.

Speaker 11 (01:49:29):
So we want to sit here for traditions down right
now we actually want to take to take it up.
Driver up front has privacy. So again, if he's doing
something that we're back here recording something like that, we
have the ability to do all of that. And so listen,
this is I can't tell you we'll swing over here.

(01:49:49):
I can tell you how hugely this is important.

Speaker 1 (01:49:53):
This is when we're broadcasting because a lot of times
we're on the road and we're having.

Speaker 11 (01:50:00):
A hit from city to city.

Speaker 1 (01:50:02):
So a massive amount of costs when it comes to
when it comes to your luggage, when it comes to
all of that sort of stuff.

Speaker 11 (01:50:12):
And so again this is just one of the things
that we do. And this again we convert this in
a different way.

Speaker 1 (01:50:19):
In fact, I'm going to sit here, so to the
control room, I'm going to sit here and send you
all this video because if you want to understand how
we do this, again, we think a lot different We
think multi use with the vehicle, we think different ways
in which we are too broadcast and the video to

(01:50:41):
the control room, y'all check, y'all.

Speaker 11 (01:50:43):
Check group need videos uploading.

Speaker 1 (01:50:45):
So what happens is when we're broadcasting we can actually
set up card table in here, we can actually.

Speaker 11 (01:50:52):
Set up our equipment.

Speaker 1 (01:50:54):
We can run our cables through the emergency exit right here,
so we actually mount cameras on the outside of this vehicle,
or we could run cabling along all that. So all
of a sudden, this becomes in essence broadcast Central. And
so what then happens is we can broadcast from inside
of here. Everything's controlled in here, and then once we're done,

(01:51:18):
then we simply pack it up and then put away,
and then now we can travel. And so that's just
sort of how we operate. Again, our donors made this possible.
They created the opportunity for us to do this here.
A lot of people were really upset when our vehicle
got total I really.

Speaker 11 (01:51:37):
Wish we could have caught the person who did it.
But again, and yeah, let.

Speaker 1 (01:51:42):
Me explain to you, this is paid off. We're not
leasing this, we're not financing this. And I'm very upfront
with our audience. This is two hundred and seventy six
thousand dollars.

Speaker 11 (01:51:54):
We needed a.

Speaker 1 (01:51:55):
Much larger vehicle than the Sprinter. We wanted absolute safety,
so you've got to see belt. You got all of that,
and so all of that stuff is in here, has
a great sound system in here.

Speaker 11 (01:52:05):
But again, everything that we need when we hit the road,
this allows for us to be able to do.

Speaker 1 (01:52:12):
And so it's pretty cool. It looks great, got that
new car, smail. But again, this is really going to
give us the opportunity when we travel, because look, we
got some stuff coming up. We're going to be traveling
different cities, broadcasting in Virginia, We've got some shows in Atlanta,
and so this really really puts us in a position

(01:52:37):
to really do some great things.

Speaker 11 (01:52:38):
And nobody else in black media is rolling like this here.

Speaker 1 (01:52:41):
The ability for us to be able to broadcast remotely,
for us to be able to broadcast full scale.

Speaker 11 (01:52:47):
Shows but also from here is flat out incredible.

Speaker 1 (01:52:53):
Y'all might remember when we did the Voting Rice March,
when the Voting.

Speaker 11 (01:52:57):
Rice March with Reverend Barbara in.

Speaker 1 (01:53:04):
Austin, one of the things that we did when we
were broadcast and I'm going to drop this link in here.

Speaker 11 (01:53:10):
Uh so y'all can actually.

Speaker 1 (01:53:11):
See again how we think and how we approach this.
Uh My man Mark Thompson was working with us.

Speaker 11 (01:53:20):
Uh and y'all go ahead and roll that video. Uh
So the video you're seeing right now. Henry was live switching.
Anthony was on a remote camera like where they were
giving speeches. I was flying the.

Speaker 1 (01:53:31):
Drone and so pull the audio up as I'm explaining
how we get that broadcast play.

Speaker 15 (01:53:37):
It's on the camera.

Speaker 11 (01:53:40):
You see.

Speaker 1 (01:53:41):
We got that television monitor that's back there. We got
a television monitors up here, and then we're able to
have our multi view shott I got a multiview shot
right here, and so he was able to see up
to eight cameras. So when we were live streaming the march,
we had the cameras on the back, we had the drone,
and we had at this camera all going through. Henry

(01:54:01):
was able to switch right here the entire time, monitoring
the audio feeds and going back. So you see right there,
we just lost our feed right there, so I'll be
right back, folks. So again that's that video. If y'all
are the link I just dropped, y'all. If y'all pull
that up, you'll see When we were in Austin, I

(01:54:23):
was actually the state capitol. Mark Thompson was in the vehicle.
That vehicle was shut up differently, but we actually had
a camera that was here. Mark was sitting in the seat.
He was actually broadcast and we were live switching from
me me in the state Capitol, and he was in
the in the processional, and we had the camera on
the back showing that processional. And so y'all pull that
link up, y'all actually see that. And so again it's

(01:54:46):
just we try to be way more creative. We try
to maximize our use for the things that we're working on.
And that's why we do this here. And so it's
a lot different than what other folks are doing. And
I'm gonna go to my pal now. This is also
why we fight hard for black on media dollars. You know, Cameron,
there was a whole bunch of these those simple signons

(01:55:08):
we're talking about.

Speaker 11 (01:55:08):
Man, you got three hundred and fifty thousand dollars and
everything you know from the Kamala Harris campaign.

Speaker 1 (01:55:13):
Yeah, white media also gets advertising dollars.

Speaker 11 (01:55:16):
Here's the reality.

Speaker 1 (01:55:17):
If we don't get advertising dollars from political campaigns, if
we don't get it from major companies, then we can't
do this. When I say the cost is real, The
insurance on this vehicle alone is twenty thousand dollars a year.
It costs two hundred seventy six thousand dollars. So people
need to understand we ain't running around here on iPhones

(01:55:38):
and bicycles trying to do broadcasts.

Speaker 11 (01:55:41):
We are trying to give our people top notch Cameron.

Speaker 20 (01:55:45):
I've plaud you, Roland, I applaud you.

Speaker 21 (01:55:48):
You know, I know what what it costs and for
you to be able to be able to be mobile
because so many people want you and look to the
Black Star Network Luke Boler Martin to cover their various
different events that that happened in the culture.

Speaker 20 (01:56:04):
You got to be mobile, you got to move your
team around. So I applaud you to my brother to
be able to see that. I can't.

Speaker 21 (01:56:10):
I can't wait to uh to knock on the van.
And and now that I know you're mobile, when I'm
pitching some of my clients, now you can't. I don't
need any more excuses about getting some of my interviews.
They can hop right in one of those captain chairs.

Speaker 11 (01:56:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:56:25):
I mean that's and and again that's really uh as
what the thought process is. Even we're in d C.
I remember when I did MSNBC. They sent a van
to my house.

Speaker 11 (01:56:37):
I supped into the van. I did Laurence O'donald's show.

Speaker 1 (01:56:41):
And then when I was done, I set back out,
went to my creb. Well, the reality is, uh, if
something is happening, uh, and let's say we don't.

Speaker 11 (01:56:49):
Let's say we're not ability to be.

Speaker 1 (01:56:50):
But just because it takes us about four hours to
set up our remote broadcast, it's our back, our chairs
and our equipment everything, Well, we can actually equip this here.
We have a portable live picture that's actually in the briefcase.
We got cameras mounted. We could send this to places
in DC other places and literally do interviews or new

(01:57:11):
Fool scale shows from just inside of here, run guests
in and out right here on the ground.

Speaker 11 (01:57:18):
So we're broadcasting somewhere and it's raining, like it's been
raining all day. Hey guess what we're now not true?

Speaker 18 (01:57:26):
That's exactly what we need.

Speaker 17 (01:57:29):
We need to be able to have our news covered
by organizations that we trust, by individuals that we know
will tell us the truth. And we need to be
able to be wherever those things that we care about
is happening. And so I'm excited to see that you've
been able to replace, not just replace what you had,

(01:57:49):
You've been able to upgrade yourself right to something even bigger,
even more agile, to be able to meet the needs
that you have now and the needs that you're going
to have in the future. And that's something that's going
to benefit not on you, going to benefit the entire community,
all of the viewers that rely on your truth telling
as they seek to get their information that impact their lives.

Speaker 1 (01:58:10):
A lot of people were obviously shocked when our sprinter
got totaled. Mashapa and folks were contributing and listen, you know,
this show is not possible about thirty five thousand individual
donors and the money we generate from YouTube and views
and things along those lines. But this really is about
putting us in a position to do more. And we

(01:58:32):
covered that when the brother was killed in Lizabeth City,
Lizabeth City, North Carolina. Guess what all of people don't realize.
CNN was there, MSNBC, all the networks were there. So
were we. We were broadcasting from there. We actually were
in our sprinter. We were covering all those different we
were covering I remember that was a march Bishop Barbara
Revernd Jackson. We broadcast that you can't do that if

(01:58:57):
you don't have power. You can't do that if you
don't have a sincere location, and so this absolutely expands
our capability of being able to broadcast.

Speaker 14 (01:59:06):
We know, my auntie, she has this quote. She says,
show up where you are needed, when you are needed.
That's purpose unfolding. So you know, through those donations that
people have made, you know, it has been the unfolding
of being able to, you know, make these investments.

Speaker 16 (01:59:22):
And then these investments are for our people, they're for
our communities.

Speaker 15 (01:59:26):
There to make sure that our stories are being told.
So you know, but it also takes.

Speaker 16 (01:59:32):
Vision, and you know, you had a vision of being
able to get.

Speaker 14 (01:59:37):
Something that would provide the opportunity for you to be
in places that I've seen you in in North Carolina
or showing up in all these other states when others
often you know, bypass them or think that the stories
that are happening in our communities, whether it's the stories
of impact or as equally important, the stories of opportunity.

Speaker 16 (01:59:57):
And how we're changing the game in many ends, ins
are being told.

Speaker 14 (02:00:02):
So now you have that ability to make sure that
those types of things are happening in real time. So
congratulations to you, but also congratulations to everybody who continues
to invest into the Black Star Network because you're investing
in culture, you're investing in our people, and you're investing
in our future.

Speaker 1 (02:00:24):
So one of the reasons why I am so transparent
with what we do with our dollars is because people
need to actually see what's real. Listen, what's Onterrell's back
is a live U unit LU eight hundred. That is
a top of the live live streaming unit. Every network,
every local station, they have that same one. There's not

(02:00:44):
one better. If it is, we would have it.

Speaker 11 (02:00:46):
We own two of those.

Speaker 1 (02:00:47):
Those are twenty thousand dollars each, plus you're paying a
monthly fee for.

Speaker 11 (02:00:53):
The wireless coverage to be able to broadcast.

Speaker 1 (02:00:57):
And so when you talk about our studio, we're doing
why now, forty thousand dollars it upgrade in our studio.
We're doing a seventy thousand dollars lighting upgrade in our
studio as well. We just signed a new eight year
lease where we're located and guess what, that rent's going
up seven thousand dollars per month.

Speaker 11 (02:01:18):
And so expenses are real. But I say this because
when people contribute, when.

Speaker 1 (02:01:22):
People are sending a dollar five dollars ten twenty five
point fifty.

Speaker 11 (02:01:27):
I've had some people saying one hundred dollars every single
month since we launched.

Speaker 1 (02:01:31):
We had a woman in January who sent us ten
one thousand dollars money orders. The smallest donation we've gotten
is a dollar. The largest donation we've gotten a thirty
thousand dollars. We don't have millionaires and billionaires cutting us checks.
And so when y'all hear me talk about black on
Media and what it is needed for us to be
able to compete in the marketplace, for us to be

(02:01:54):
able to cover events, people always say, man, I wish
we had a black CNN. I wish we had black
on media of the New York Times. Well, actually that
takes money. So we're knocking down these barriers with Urban
Edge Network and targeting these ad agencies like Group M
and Publicists and Horizon and WPP and Omniicom and OMD

(02:02:16):
and all these people. We're doing that because this cannot happen.

Speaker 11 (02:02:20):
We should have five of these.

Speaker 1 (02:02:23):
We want to be able to have crews all over
the country, centrally located to cover different things.

Speaker 11 (02:02:29):
That is what is required.

Speaker 1 (02:02:31):
Unfortunately, we're not seeing that and we're begging somebody else
to cover our story, and I don't want us to
be in that position.

Speaker 11 (02:02:38):
Listen, there's the office located that's been emptyed right next
door to me. Okay.

Speaker 1 (02:02:42):
I would love to be able to hire eight writers
and put them in that office in two editors. Okay,
but that's going to be another two and a half
and three million dollars a year to pay for all
of that staff.

Speaker 11 (02:02:53):
And so when y'all see us call.

Speaker 1 (02:02:54):
These companies out and these ad agencies out, this is
why this right here is why we're doing it. Because
you can't spend three hundred thousand dollars on something like
this here and then still be operating every single month,
paying staff and interns and suffering those lines. And so
that's why I'm very upfront about what we're doing because

(02:03:17):
all that is critical. And so I know when Overtime
Truth Talks they are already live. We're going to send
y'all to them over there. But I wanted to show
y'all the next next phase of the Black Star Network
and what we're doing. We shot a business pilot show
a couple of weeks ago. We're looking at the health show.
So we're really looking to span so about our seventh

(02:03:38):
anniversary of September fourth, twenty eighteen.

Speaker 11 (02:03:40):
We don't want to look anything how we look, and
we actually started.

Speaker 1 (02:03:44):
And so we appreciate every single one of y'all who
gave money to make us pursuing this vehicle apostible.

Speaker 11 (02:03:50):
We absolutely appreciate it. Let me thank Cameron, let me
think Avis, let me think we stopping.

Speaker 1 (02:03:54):
I appreciate y'all. Don't forget if you are not a
don't to the Blackstar Network. If you don't this show,
then then when you say, well, well why don't we
have this and have that, well, because you know support. Listen,
you get magazine subscriptions, You've got Netflix subscription, you got
Apple Music subscriptions. You're paying Spotify every single month, you're
paying for cable.

Speaker 11 (02:04:15):
This stuff is not free.

Speaker 1 (02:04:17):
I'm specifically telling y'all what this stuff costs for a
reason because you to be aware. Staff is not free, okay,
equipment not free, light not free. Our fiber in our
office costs us almost twenty five hundred dollars a month.
That ain't no regular WiFi, y'all. You're paying third nine

(02:04:38):
ninety nine at your house, and so all that matters.
