From Sonya Massey to Kamala Harris: A Tale of Hope and Struggle
28 Plays5 months ago
In this episode of Unsolicited Perspectives, host Bruce Anthony and co-host J. Aundrea explore a variety of topics, mixing current events, personal stories, and humor. They begin with their signature sibling banter before addressing the tragic police shooting of Sonya Massey by Deputy Sean Grayson, expressing outrage and examining the broader implications of police violence and systemic issues.
The discussion then shifts to the upcoming presidential election, focusing on Kamala Harris's historic candidacy. They assess her career accomplishments, the criticisms she faces, and the racial attacks she endures.
To lighten the tone, Bruce and J. Aundrea engage in a spirited debate over the wild claim that Michael Jackson may have had ties to the Crips gang, sparked by DJ Quick's recent comments. This conversation brings out their playful side, and it's sure to get you thinking (and maybe laughing) about the bizarre rumors that swirl around pop culture icons. #sonyamassey #kamalaharris #joebiden #michaeljackson #UnsolicitedPerspectives

00:00:33
Speaker
your enemies. On today's episode, it's the sibling happy hour. I'm here with my sis, Jay Andrea. We're going to be dilly-dallying a little bit, talking about the latest cop shooting. Then we're going to be talking about Kamala and Joe. Then we're going to be talking about MJ. Jackson, that is. But that's enough of the intro.
American Politics as Drama
00:00:52
Speaker
Let's get to the show.
00:01:00
Speaker
What up, sis? What up, Brennan? I can't call it, I can't call it. A lot of interesting stuff has happened since the sister last time that we recorded it, which was just four days ago. Right. um i say I keep saying this, we're like, season 2024 of America is crazy. Well, I know. that It's so many memes that's going out saying, you know, whoever the writers are, they real good at keeping you on your toes. Yeah. yeah I feel like it's like Shonda Rhimes behind this. Like, again, Shonda Rhimes scandal, how to get away with murder. Yeah, time. OK.
00:01:38
Speaker
Yeah, like, is she the behind this? Because this is like soap opera level, this is young and the restless level drama. yeah And everybody is about as old as everybody in the Young and the Restless, so... Okay.
Aging and Self-Image
00:01:57
Speaker
Victor Newman is still on the show still active. No, he's not. Yes. No, he is not. I thought you were going to wrestle this one off the air. And I saw him recently, there was a viral video that went around and he still looks the same. He still looks, he's got to be a million years old.
00:02:17
Speaker
He's up there. He's up there. I don't even know his real name, I'll be honest. it's It's Eric Braden, but for all of us, we know him as Victor Newman. And yeah, he's still, I don't know if the Young and the Restless is still on, to be honest with you. I think it is, but I really don't know the answer to that. I think so. Yeah, I thought all those daytime talk shows took over the soap operas. But then again, soap opera, when I was in the daytime, I don't know. I don't know. No, it looks like it's still on. Okay. Yeah. Cause I'm weak. This is what I do now.
00:02:56
Speaker
This is something that's interesting. I don't think I, I don't think I even told you this door or maybe I did when we stopped filming the other day. Did I tell you about the dude in the elevator last Saturday? Uh, no. Okay. So Last Saturday, I go out with my bestie and my goddaughter to continue on in celebration of my birthday. Yeah. And I'm really excited for you, by the way, that you just keep celebrating it. That's great. Well, because this year I didn't just say, hey, everybody, I'm celebrating my birthday on this day. Just come on through, because that's just too much stress for me. But then again, everybody still wants to see me or do something with me on my birthday. Yeah. So that's a lot of stress too. Yeah. so
00:03:40
Speaker
I mean, I don't know which one is winning for me. But I did have a good time last Saturday and got drunk. They stayed sober. And I was like, OK, stay sober. That's what you want to do. But they kept complimenting me on they hadn't seen me in like a month in this kind of like lean out phase. OK. They didn't see me in a month and they were like, you look great. Don't look your age. And I'm like, OK, y'all both love me. So that's. That's, you know, k ley okay. Okay. So let me just put this into perspective. Yes. Red Fox.
00:04:16
Speaker
yeah there don't On Sanford and on san fern Son was 48. Okay. Yes. Okay. It's older than what I am right now. Yeah. So just to put it in perspective, you look great for your age. you in that perspective from somebody that was doing the show in the 70s, but okay. The Golden Heroes. Right, I take the compliment. Millennials, Gen Xers, whatever I am, aging well. I'm aging well, okay? Yes. do i Do I feel like I look my age? No, but I don't feel like I look that far off from my age. Yeah, like I feel the same way about myself, yeah.
00:05:02
Speaker
No, you look like 10 years younger. Anyway, so I'm feeling good about myself. Yeah. They leave, and I don't have anything to do. So I go out down the road to get some dinner, and I come back, and it's late. It's probably about, for me, late. It's probably like 10 o'clock at night, 9.30, 10 o'clock. That's late, and I am yeah long drunk. So I get on the elevator in my building, in and one of my neighbors is an older black man. He's got a mean-ass pit bull. And when I say mean, like, every time he's walking and he's like, hey, hey man, don't get too close. I'm like, hey, hey man, train your dog. right Like you're giving pit bulls a bad name. Pit bulls are very gentle, loving creatures.
00:05:43
Speaker
if you raise them right. You raised them that way. So I would say that he's mid-fifties, maybe late-fifties. And he was like, see, he was like, you've been celebrating. I was like, yeah, you know, I was out with my bestie and my goddaughter. We was out celebrating. Oh, well, we are celebrating. I was like, oh, man, it was my birthday a couple of weeks ago. He looks me dead in the eye and says, oh, yeah, what, you're about 43? I looked at him and I wanted to say, sir, don't be guessing my exact age. Like, no, don't do that. Don't do me like that. Don't do me like that. I felt so good. I felt so good. A couple of weeks ago. Especially if he thought he was underquoting it to make you feel better. Right. Like, sir, don't do that. I was feeling so good. A couple of weeks ago, maybe not a couple of weeks ago, maybe it was a couple of months ago, I ran into a very, very attractive woman.
00:06:40
Speaker
is walking a dog and we just keep passing each other each week. I think I told you the story, but the audience doesn't know. We kept passing each other each week, very attractive, very fit, um was complimenting me. She was like, there's no way that you are in your mid-40s. And I was like, yeah, no, um'm I'm in mid-40s. You look great. So I'm getting these compliments that you look great. And then I got this dude. Right. Get on the elevator. What you about, 43? And I just said, well, 44. Yes. And I was like, it just ruined my high. Yeah, I was on cloud nine. And then I just sat, I sat in the shower. And it was like that song. Everybody hurts sometimes. Yes. but Yeah, like this sucks. You just crying to yourself under a walk under the water. I mean, I wasn't crying, but I did. free but Don't sing it.
00:07:28
Speaker
Don't sing it. We might get flagged by YouTube. You can't do that. I asked
Sonya Masley Shooting Incident
00:07:33
Speaker
them two words. They some we got a cop. We got a video taken down because they said yes, because they said that we use some song. And I was like, no, we didn't. And so I'm fighting with them and YouTube to get the video back up. Okay, so we can sing melodies as long as we make up our own words, because that's what I do. I guess so. I guess so. Because I'll do that in a minute. That's... Yeah, well, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know either. But this man guessed my whole... It was one of those situations when you ever been in the shower and you put your hand on the wall and just let the water just hit the back of your head. That's what I was talking about. But I wasn't crying, though. I wasn't crying, though, because I'm not that sad.
00:08:16
Speaker
and say ok and yeah and Inside. Yeah, Yeah. But i'll I'll do this. If women are telling me that I look young. And an older man is saying, you look your age. I'm just going to take the women's compliments. Yeah, because that's your target audience anyway. It's like, it so what are you worried about what does a man thinks? That's your target audience anyway. i have it I don't think the audience knows the story of what got me in shape in the first place. No. OK. So I was dating this woman. And I had been dating her for three years. OK. And she told me, like, hey, you're starting to gain weight. Because I was in my mid-20s now. And you know, I wasn't working out anymore. And the weight just starts to pick up. She was like, hey, you're starting to gain weight. I wasn't listening to her because not only was she still with me, I was still getting all this interest from other women. So I was like, I'm not tripping off of this. It must not be that bad if I'm getting all this attention.
00:09:17
Speaker
There was a older gentleman that was a host for the restaurant that she worked at. Okay. ah Older gay gentleman, very distinguished, wore an ascot every day. I remember this now, yes, yes, yes, yes. And he said to me, Bruce, you turned into a little chunky monkey. I said, what? he said You gained in some weight at that moment. Yeah. I hit the gym. Because I was like, all right, I'll be, it's OK. I'm still getting interest from women, but I'll be damned if not everybody's telling me that I look good. yeah
00:09:54
Speaker
yeah You've got to get praise from all the groups. I get it. I get praise from all the groups. Even if I'm not a part of that community, I need to get praise from everybody. He called me a chunky monkey, and I immediately got into yeah the second best shape I had ever gotten into in my life. The best shape I got into was a couple of years ago, but the second best shape I ever got into in my life. Well, yeah. I mean, I feel like that hit you right in your soul when a gay man in an ascot tells you something disparaging about yourself. You'd be like, oh. and
00:10:25
Speaker
I still think about that time, you know, a friend of a friend said, well, Johnna isn't friendly. I still think about that. but yeah That has been stuck in your crawl ever since that happened. Because it's true, and I feel called out, and I don't like it. I'm not disputing it. I just wanted to know why you had to call me out like that. I want that person to come to your birthday party. Absolutely not. i
00:10:58
Speaker
Absolutely not. No, I mean, actually, maybe. They actually maybe might be there, so. All right, we then left. Yes. Let's talk about something serious. This is the worst, the worst segue ever. Yeah. There's no easy way to talk about it anyway, so. No, there isn't. Do you want to run through this or do you want me to run through all the particulars? Yeah, you got I mean, you already got it written down and everything. Okay. Sonya Masley.
00:11:31
Speaker
Who is that? Sonya Masley was a 36-year-old, was a 36-year-old black American woman who lived in Springfield, Illinois. She was fatally shot in her home by Deputy Sean Grayson of Sagamon ah County Sheriff's Office on July 6, 2024. On the day of the incident, Sonya called 911 to report a possible intruder. Sean Grayson and another deputy responded to our house. The situation escalated rapidly when Grayson yelled at Maisley over moving a pot of boiling water from the stove to the sink. He then threatened to shoot her in the face and screamed at her to drop the pot. The body cam footage shows Maisley fired at her three times, including a fatal shot to the head.
00:12:20
Speaker
He, 30 years old from Riverton, has pleaded not guilty to charges of first degree murder, aggra a bower at her aggravated battery, and official misconduct. He remains in custody without bail. The graphic video was released on the Illinois State Police YouTube channel and has sparked national outrage. The US Department of Justice has opened an investigation into the shooting. Of course, Ben Crump has joined into the fray. Just a aside, I'm tired of Ben jumping into everything. We don't need to be in everything. He is a civil rights attorney. He is one of the most prominent ones. He brings national attention. Because he's in everything. can Can we spread it around a little bit?
00:13:07
Speaker
You know, there there's always like a leading sort of figure in these. But there's enough of these things to bring it out to other prominent lawyers. He ain't the only one. But anyway, that's just my little, that's look not my little thing. ah Sonya was a mother of two children, 17 and 15. Her family, including her teenage son, mother, uncle, has spoken out about the incident. But here's Sean Grayson's background. he's all but He's had a history of alcohol abuse and has worked for six different police agencies since 2020. It is currently, we're in the middle of 2024.
00:13:50
Speaker
Yes. So it's not a full four years. It's 2020, 2021, 2023, 2022, 2023, and it' between half of 2024. So I guess three and a half, four and a half years. But Like, we we're not through with the year, and he's already worked for six
Police Training and Systemic Issues
00:14:10
Speaker
different police agencies. Currently, he's held in jail until his trial. The county ju judge agreed with the prosecutors that he's ah ah at risk to the community and was denied release and deemed a community threat in the pretrial. He remains without bond. I mean, his court case, I think, is was 2 PM today, Thursday, July the 25th. He's got five counts, including three charges of first degree murder.
00:14:37
Speaker
he Here's some other information about his backstory. He was discharged from the US Army for serious misconduct. Yeah. Employment history includes short stints as a part-time officer at three small police departments in Illinois and a full-time employment at one police department and two sheriff offices. He's twice pled guilty to driving under the influence of alcohol before he began working in law enforcement. So that's the whole story. If you've seen the video, I have not because sta i know like a lot of us, I don't need to see it to know what happened. I saw the video up until the end point and then I saw the aftermath. No remorse.
00:15:22
Speaker
care care you could care less, he took a life that originally called because they thought that there was an intruder in their life. And if you watch the video, he walks in hostile yes when she's the person calling for help. He walked in hostile. and And when people was like, well, he told her that she had the boiling pot and water. She didn't start there. She was sitting in the kitchen table. He told her to remove ah the pot of boiling water from the stove. yeah And when she started removing it, he started threaten her threatening her. She's dropping the pot on the ground and putting her hands up saying, OK, OK, I'm just dropping on the ground, dropping it on the ground. And he shoots her.
00:16:08
Speaker
Yeah. So... He could have easily just, I don't know, taken two, three steps back. Or used his taser. He could have used his taser, but honestly, he could have just stepped back. Or he could... i She was complying with what he was telling her to do. Yes.
00:16:35
Speaker
It's not even really clear why they were in the house in the first place. When they first got there and she had explained that she thought that there was an intruder, they went and looked around the outside of the home. And then it, and then they go inside, not even a hundred percent sure why they go inside because it's done right. Maybe the intruder, you check the perimeter, maybe you check and see maybe the intruder got into the home. Maybe you do a sweep of the home just in case. Okay. Uh, it seemed like they were, she was wrapping it up and then they came inside the house.
00:17:18
Speaker
Yeah, she was literally sitting at the kitchen table when he became hostile. Like, I watched the video. And then I guess the pot started boiling, because she was boiling water on the stove, maybe making herself something to eat. And he told her, hey, you know, you need to address this. And she goes over there, and then he starts wiling out. Yeah. And she's like. Because it. On the ground. And in she's like, I'm not doing anything. I'm not doing OK. I'm putting the pot on the ground. Her hands up, and he shoots her three times. Yeah. it' So if you watch the aftermath of the video, everybody he's trying to make excuses. you know She was throwing a pot on me. No, she wasn't. She wasn't. And even even the the other deputy that was there was kind of giving him the side eye. But you know, that blue wall, you're gonna make well, I don't know, because they released this video. So maybe not.
00:18:14
Speaker
I think whenever there's a police involved shooting, there's an investigation and probably involved in eternal affairs. I mean, and yes, you always have. do I mean, no that went television all that body cam footage, he was immediately fired and then the footage was released. Was he fired? He was fired. ah he was he's He's been fired from Sagamon County Sheriff's Department. Okay. Which noted then, this is in Fox's reporting, quote, it's clear that the deputy did not act as trained or in accordance with our standards.
00:18:51
Speaker
The state prosecutor, literally, the state prosecutor also cited an expert who describes the act as comparable to, quote, an officer intentionally and unnecessarily putting himself in front of a moving vehicle and then justifying use of force because of fear of being struck. And that's exactly what it is. You told her to get the pot. She went and got the pot and you shot her in the face for it. So the we're going to get clickbait because at some point this would be clipped. This is going to get clickbait and people are going to say, well, he jumped in the video. She had to th throw it to him and there was water on the floor. Yeah, there is water on the floor because she was shot in the face as she's putting water, as she's putting the pot down, which means
00:19:40
Speaker
The pot fell over. So, of course, there's going to be water all over the floor. And I believe that he jumped, the reason why that he was terminated, right? Because if she did throw boiling hot water at him, he would have been justified. Somewhat. That's the thing. For lethal force? I don't think so. He would have been justified in a... No. I said somewhat. He would have been justified in a sort of defense. That still would have been too far, but at least there was some causation to make him respond, right? Yeah. Yeah. If the situation was they came in the house and she went and got this boiling pot of water and was threatening them with it.
00:20:21
Speaker
Okay, you could leave the house, that's number one, but you don't have to be there. You can leave, or you can tase her. If you do pull your surface weapon, you don't need to exact lethal or deadly force. You could have hit her in the arm, in the arm, in a leg or something. They say shoot to kill, but when I was- But there are a lot of things that could have been done. I agree. But i'm I'm trying to jump ahead of the clickbait people that are going to say, oh, he jumped back in the video. Yeah, I mean, if you shoot somebody, you're going to jump back. Yeah, he jumped back. And and he got agitated. Well, he got agitated because she said, I'm going to rebuke you in the name of the Lord. Because she was getting hostile to her. And and the way she said it was how black people, oh man, I rebuke you in the name of the Lord. sheating
00:21:17
Speaker
There was no threatening manner at all from her in this entire video as she complied. Anybody defending this cop officer, this police officer, I'm gonna just say it. You're a racist. that's ah that's only That's the only defense that I'm gonna give because they don't get no more clearer than this. This is George Floyd. This is worse than George Floyd, actually. yeah yeah This is worse than George Floyd, actually. So there's been all types of, kind of protests and remember her name post on social media and when we should. And it looks like this guy, it seems like this guy is going to get his justice, but is it justice? No, because Sonia Massey is still, is still not here. Her children are still without a mother. Her father without a daughter. Her father is still alive. She was only 36 years old. Yeah. 36. We get both older than 36. Yes.
00:22:17
Speaker
Me buy a lot. You buy just a little bit. But, like, that's super young. Yeah. um the the The organization for mapping police violence reported that in 2023, police killed more than 1,300 people, which was a new record. The same data set out... ah The same data set found that Black people were almost three times more likely to be killed by police than white people. And let's let's put this for all the Trump supporters out there because he's running on, he just did it at one of his rallies the other day, running on complete immunity for cops.
00:23:02
Speaker
um Yes, black people are way more likely to get shot by the cops than than most other people. But not everybody that gets shot by the cops are black people. there White people out there are getting shot by the cops, too. So yeah this this can happen. There have been cases that are very similar to this for white people. I can't remember the case, and somebody on YouTube will correct me. But it was a case, I want to say in Connecticut, but it probably wasn't Connecticut. It was maybe four or five years ago. Similar situation, a woman called for help by the police officer's white woman, called for help by the police officers, and she was shot in the alley or shot in the street after calling for help. So this happens. And those people that are supporting Trump, who is calling for immunity, no accountability for cops. And mind you, lawyers have to go to school.
00:23:56
Speaker
to learn the law for four years and then pass a test, three to four years and then pass a test before they can practice law. yeah Why is it that a police academy is only six months? Maybe they should be going to school and getting every police officer should have a criminal justice degree. Get a four-year education. I had to go to school for four years to get a teachings degree to get a teaching to get a teaching degree. Why can't cops go to school for that long to learn how to properly be cops? This dude has had six different departments in four years. Yeah, and has been charged twice for DUI. Now, granted, that before he was a cop, but he was allowed to become a cop, just something like that.
00:24:43
Speaker
but where like
00:24:47
Speaker
If somebody, where's the background check? Where's the investigation? They didn't care about it. They didn't care about it. They didn't care about it. He looked like he, he looked like he made a couple of mistakes, but that you're a good person now and you, you, you changed. He worked at six different law enforcement agencies. And just like you say, he was discharged from the military due to misconduct. This man has a history. There is a, there is a trend there of somebody with a disregard for proper conduct. yeah and that's that's where Yeah, that's what that means. Why is this person ah allowed to uphold and enforce the law?
00:25:33
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know. So the family is falling. You would think that they would do deeper psychological evaluations if he's been, and I don't know the specifics of people being discharged from the military due to misconduct. i'd like I don't know like what degrees misconduct actually means, but if you've been discharged from protecting the country, how can you still protect the citizens? right That just don't make no sense to me. It seems like protecting the country is a more important, I mean, it's all important. It's all important. But as far as that the the hierarchy of what needs to be protected, country citizens, like we need to defend our country,
00:26:26
Speaker
And then you defend the citizens. Seems like being in the military is more important than being a police officer. I don't know, just my personal opinion. So it seems like if you're not good enough to be in the military, to fight for our country, then you shouldn't be good enough to defend its citizens. Yeah. um the The Massey family, ah they are calling for an investigation into the sheriff's department's hiring of g Grayson. um So we'll see what what happens ah as far as that's concerned. I do hope that this
00:27:05
Speaker
gentleman, Grayson, that he faces the ultimate consequences, whatever that may be, for that state, for Illinois, for the very obvious, very blatant murder of Sonia Massey. um
Hope and Politics
00:27:24
Speaker
There's really no way to equivocate what I Hate seeing online is a bunch of clout chasing ass people. Sorry, I said ass, but a bunch of clout chasing ass people who think being contrary means that you're intelligent. It doesn't. Contrary only means that you're being contrary. It doesn't make you smarter. It doesn't mean that you're a quote unquote free thinker, any of that. That's not what being contrary is.
00:27:56
Speaker
is just you are deviating from what is commonly held, a commonly held belief. And what is obvious in here is that, what's obvious in the story is that Sonia Massey was murdered in her home for calling the police for help through no fault of her own. And so any of y'all out here on social media, making these videos, talking about it might've been a justified killing and all of that stuff, especially the black folks that I see doing this, especially the black women that I see doing this, shame on you. And I seriously hope, I seriously hope and pray that you never find your position yourself in the position of knowing somebody who's become a hashtag.
00:28:41
Speaker
There is a family behind this woman. There was a life that she was meant to live that was taken away from her. Soon as she came to the door, her first words out of her mouth was, don't hurt me. Because she already knew what was up. She already knew how dangerous it was for her to call the police. Every, I have probably called the police to my house maybe twice in my life. every time I am nervous until that officer leaves. And I'm calling for help. So I don't, all of that, all of that, because you're looking for clicks so that you can monetize your stuff, shame. Shame on you. And you do need to get out here and apologize.
00:29:39
Speaker
for putting monetary gain, for putting greed ahead of somebody's life. That's all I have to say about that.
00:29:52
Speaker
All right, Jay, we're gonna transition from a very dark and sad story of a black woman to a very light, hopeful story of a black woman. And I would like to say that if you are, especially out especially as black women out here, and you're feeling the sorrow that you ah naturally feel for Sonia Massey, and then ah next to the joy you feel for Kamala Harris, is I feel you, and it's okay.
00:30:37
Speaker
It's okay that both those emotions exist. You know, take your time and absorb whatever information you feel like you can absorb. But I love how active and activated y'all are behind Vice President Harris. It gives me so much hope. Sorry, go ahead and talk about what you were saying. I have felt so energized since Sunday you tell You tell me, what what else we got to look forward to? Tell me. Well, well before we get to Madam Vice President, let's first salute our current president for his speech that he gave yesterday. Ten toes down for for for a Joe Biden, for President Joe Biden. I call him Joey Baines. You do. He don't know me, but if I met him, I'd be like,
00:31:34
Speaker
Just so you know, I call you President Joey Beanz. And he'll be like, i that might stick. And I was like, i'm a I think it sticks. You want to be down? Let's take a shot together. He recently addressed the nation from the Oval Office, marking his first public remarks since ending his campaign for the second term. And this is addressed. He stated that the best way forward is to pass the torch to the new generation. ah He's decided to focus on Supreme Court reform in the final six months of his presidency. His decision to bow the race came after escalating prey pressure from his Democratic allies. This is true. We probably won't know the full story of why he came to this decision. Maybe he'll write it in his presidential memoir. Yeah.
00:32:20
Speaker
probably won't, ah maybe hopefully, you know, I'm 44. I think I'm gonna make it to 75. Hopefully by the time I make it to 75, the truth will come out about everything behind the scenes, the reason why he decided to give up the office. But what he did do, what I thought was dope, where he was like, look, everything that I've done in office, everything that I accomplished warrants a second term. However, It's time for some new blood. It's time for some youthful voices. It's time for the old guard to step away and the new guard to step forward. And he did it with grace. yeah He did it as a president. And his legacy will always be from here on out.
00:33:12
Speaker
he put country before himself. So before we talk about Madam Vice President Democratic nominee for President of the United States, I want to tip my hat to President Joey Beans and his political career. Not
Political Mentoring and Succession
00:33:31
Speaker
all great, but not way more good. Yeah. than any of the bad anybody out there that's talking about, well, what did they do? I'm not going to run through the accomplishments, a quick Google search of all the legislation that they passed. He's actually passed more legislation in the four years than almost any other president. Yeah. They've been doing work.
00:33:54
Speaker
A very successful presidency. Yeah. wait And for you, Trump supporters, way more than what Trump ever did. I don't know what he did. He did do criminal justice with the law. He played golf a lot. He played golf a lot, but he did do, you know, Kim K pushed him to do criminal justice reform, you know, so he did, I'll give him that. And his brother-in-law got $2 billion from the Saudis. ah We can't talk about that. Never mind. Let's move on. but yeah you up but Go ahead. Give me your thoughts on Joey Baines. Yeah. There's a um ah very wistful article written about his first of
00:34:33
Speaker
probably many farewells. You know, he's got six months left in office, and I assume this is him exiting political life. But in the Washington Post, it says, the man who entered political life as one of the youngest U.S. senators in history comes to terms with leaving as the nation's oldest president in history. And kind of thinking about that and the fact that this man has had 50 years of public service is really incredible. And I definitely think he was one of our most successful presidents, especially in recent times. And if you look at all of the things that he has done, I mean, he guided us through COVID economic
00:35:20
Speaker
I don't want to say collapse, but it ain't great economic fallout, you know. And everybody's going to say inflation, inflation, realizing economic policies take a while to kick in. Also, inflation is due to corporate greed, not the government. yeah really yeah that yeah Corporations are seeing record profits and still raising prices. So it's due to corporate greed, not the government. If you stop ordering off of Amazon and Target dot.com and Walmart dot.com, you'll see so many prices come down. and I'm not going to do that. makes I'm not going to do it either. I'm ordering some stuff off of Amazon tonight. It's incredibly convenient. And I will just not stop doing that. but yeah thought
00:35:59
Speaker
I mean, it's got to be so, It's so convenient. And there's just that little bit of excitement you get when a package comes in the mail and you open it up. I run downstairs. I love it. I love it. And I love it when multiple, you order stuff and then they don't deliver all the packages at one time and it comes in multiple deliveries throughout the day. It's just like, oh, it's Christmas. Yeah. When I order some staples. Well, okay. Well, I got some staples. Well, the... You know, in his speech, basically he passes the torch on to Vice President Harris as his successor, and he does what I wish a lot of people in Democratic Party, especially the ones who were raising their hands talking about he needs to drop out of the race and looking at you, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. Y'all need to start looking for successors.
00:36:55
Speaker
Y'all need to start y'all yeah need start looking for successes. ah Like, who have you been mentoring this entire time to take over for you and to pass the torch? Yeah. Y'all all the same age. They are, really. They old as hell. So, and if you- Well, Hakeem Jeffries, Nancy kind of stepped aside and Hakeem Jeffries is now, you know? Yeah. The top dog and- People are stepping. Keep on one or two more steps to the side if you please. Who was going to take the charge for this? Anyway. Exactly. That's the point. How long has she been in public service? You didn't mentor anybody to take over? Well, maybe she mentored Hakeem Jeffries. Maybe that was her passing towards you. I don't know. I don't know Hakeem Jeffries and Nancy Pelosi's personal. I mean, wasn't he the minority whip? What is that? What's it called?
00:37:53
Speaker
He earned that spot, so what's the... Yeah, so maybe she was like, all right, she did say, all right, this is my time. I'm just saying, she stepped aside, the only one left is Rocky. It really feels like stones and glass houses. It's giving Pot calling the kettle. Well, no, not really, because she did step aside from her leadership. It's giving, but she said she's running for re-election in 2024. Why? Yeah, maybe there's nobody in her district. And again, whose fault is that? I don't know. Maybe people in the district ain't really that bright. Hey, look, sometimes what's your district right now? If you was running in your district, can you name any of your neighbors is that you could groom and be like groom? I don't like the word groom. I don't like groom. I don't like groom. ah Prepare.
00:38:41
Speaker
to take over when you're gone. meant okay went Mentor ain't much different than grooming. No, mentor is very, very different from the implication of grooming. Well, that's only because grooming has gotten a ah bad connotation because of certain people. I mean, technically, grooming means taking care of oneself. That's one of the meanings of it, yes. Right, yes. So I mean, grooming has developed a negative connotation, kind of like, hmm, I don't know, woke. Woke is a good thing. Yeah. Grooming is a good thing. But when it's used negatively, it's- I wish that sound bite didn't exist. I'm talking about- Ladies and gentlemen, please, don't cut that post-production line. No, I'm just saying, the original intent of grooming
00:39:32
Speaker
It was good. You are working so hard to be contrarian to everything I say, even though I think you agree with me that you just said twice, grooming is good. No, no, no. What I said was is that didn' it has a negative connotation. Now, I corrected myself when saying it because of what the current negative connotation is now. But too often, words are taken and attached to negative connotations when that was not the original intent. That's all I'm saying. Yeah, but that's the meaning now. No, that's not, that's the meaning, that's not the meaning now. That's a meaning of grooming now.
00:40:12
Speaker
No, that's what people interpret it as, but that's not, is that in Webster's? Is that the definition of Webster's? What's the definition of Webster's? I see you looking it up right now. There's three. Okay, break them down for me. One, the practice of brushing and cleaning the coat of a horse, dog, or other animal. See, they're right there. That's good grooming, right? and Yeah. Two, the practice of preparing or training someone for a particular purpose or activity. Boom, there you go right there, right there. Number three. Okay, this this is in the Oxford dictionary, okay. The action of attempting to form a relationship with a child or young person with the intention of sexually assaulting them or inducing them to commit an illegal act such as selling drugs or joining a terrorist organization.
00:41:07
Speaker
Okay, so obviously I meant two, not three. Yes. we And we also know you don't mean brushing an animal or cleaning an animal. I mean, I stay groom all the time because I take my dogs to be groomers. so you good room I feel like in the last two, three minutes, we've said the word groom too much. there is a There's a time and place to fight for being right. I'm not fighting for being right. I'm not fighting for being right. Yes, you are. No, i said i I can't really say that word anymore, but I want to take that word back because
00:41:48
Speaker
In the three meanings, the second one explicitly explains what I am trying to convey. But when you have a word like mentor available, you have so many words available. The English language is full of words. I'm not a linguist like yourself. It's pretty much all words. I'm not a linguist like yourself. And I didn't think I meant to it. I mistakenly said groom, and technically, I am right. But yeah due to society, I am wrong. So I'm wrong and right. Right and wrong. I'm all of it. had any Mentor. All right. Anyway, in your neighborhood, it might not be anybody that you can mentor. It might be a whole bunch of dumbasses.
00:42:36
Speaker
Why has it been in my neighborhood? I'm just saying, theoretically, maybe that's the reason why she hasn't thought about it in her district of mentors. She goes
Kamala Harris's Candidacy
00:42:44
Speaker
around and she's like, h you ain't got it. That's ridiculous. It's not ridiculous. Hey, look, I saw a meme the other day, and I posted it on my Instagram stories, and it was so true. You remember back in the day when we was all in school, and they had different class levels? I saw that, too. No, did you extend that to, oh yeah, I said I'm stealing it. Right, well okay, audience doesn't know what I'm talking about. there were three Everybody had three class levels when you were in school. There was an accelerated class for the smart kids, there was an average class for the average kid kids, and then there was a below average class for the below average kids. And social media,
00:43:21
Speaker
is all those kids all in one system and we weren't all supposed to be in that one system. So in your neighborhood, like in my building that I live in, there's a lot of dumb ass people in here. So there wouldn't be anybody in my building that I would peg to mentor. She has an entire district that she represents at the national level that has a local government. You are telling me that of everybody in the local government. She can't find... No, that's ridiculous. Maybe it's not impressive. It's not ridiculous. There's a lot of people out here that should have been in below average college. Also, you don't have to be born and raised in her district to represent this. I mean, that's true. That's true. You know what? We have gone way off tangent. Let's talk to... No, we're on the tangent. No, we have gone way off. I want to talk about... Yes, we're on the tangent. Yes, let's talk about it because I'm excited.
00:44:17
Speaker
Yes, so she's as she says she's ready to debate Donald Trump, and he's ah been accused of backpedaling. He doesn't want to get questioned because he don't want that smoke. Democratic business leaders and billionaires are endorsing her as the presidential nominee. She's already locked up the nominee. and She did that a couple of days ago. She's getting support from political figures. She kicked off her political campaign in the battleground state of Wisconsin. She used her first rally since announcing her White House bid to contrast her record to Donald Trump's. If selected, Harris would be the first black woman and the first Asian-American woman to lead the ticket to a major political party. You know, the convention's on the seventh. Everything should be going down. Not everything is all rosy, though.
00:45:02
Speaker
These Republicans, they're not even hiding their racism. No, we got colored. Well, okay, so I watched that clip. I watched that clip. he That person does not get the benefit of a doubt because he has said some ah racist racially egregious things before. Yes. But I listened to it. yeah I think he might've said college. No, he said a colored sorority. No, you everybody wants him to say colored. I've listened to it several times. The first listen of it, I didn't, I'm just scrolling through my timeline. I had not heard of the clip before. It was a first listen of a clip. Fresh years, he said colored. But did anything in that clip when you were listening to it say he says colored? Because if you read that, then you're going to hear that.
00:45:59
Speaker
No, I was listening to her clip. i I heard college. ah I don't want to give this guy the benefit of a doubt. He's saying, oh, i so I meant college. Either way, whether he said colored or college, he's wrong because the sorority is a lifetime sorority. You can join it outside. I mean, he's an idiot. He's an idiot. He's an idiot. And that's obviously, this is just the tip of the iceberg of the misogynoir that we're going to be bombarded with. But what people don't understand is that black women from literally the day that we're born deal with a bombardment of misogynoir from all sides. And we are not new to this. And we don't give a damn.
00:46:47
Speaker
Okay, so let let me get to this in an article in the AP. It's gotten so bad with these racist dog whistles that some of these Republicans are doing. yeah There was a closed door meeting at that of the house of ah the House Republicans on Tuesday. The National republicanal the Republican Congressional Committee chairman, Richard Hudson, urged lawmakers to to stick to criticizing Harris for her role in the Biden-Harris administration and stop using these racial undertones. Even Mike Johnson, and what's the former House Speaker?
00:47:22
Speaker
Mr. former House Speaker. McCarthy. And McCarthy. They've been in the news saying, hey, hey, hey, let's stick to attacking her record. Let's stop with all these dog whistles and attacking her personality and just attack her policies. Yeah, because you already got the old DEI hire. I'm going to get to that. Yeah. Wyoming, Harriet Hageman, said on national TV, Intellectually, just really kind of bottom of the barrel. I think she was a DEI higher. So DEI has now become... It's the N word.
00:48:04
Speaker
e ah but No, it's now become a affirmative action. Which is again, yeah when that the way they use it, if you're listening to it in a, we're very contextual people. If you're listening to it in context, you could easily swap out DEI for the N word. And the whole sentence will still make sense. The sentiment would be still there. Right. And you know what else is crazy? There are people on the internet saying, she's not even black.
00:48:38
Speaker
You know what, ladies and gentlemen, like I said, the world is filled with a bunch of people that were in these below level classes and they mingling with us. And I don't really think you should. I really think you should just shut up because you're not. Smart, did you see the women that was on a panel in Wisconsin that there were Trump supporters talking about Vice President Harris being the nominee? but They were all saying the same thing. First of all, no if anybody's seen this clip, no disrespect to people that are um above average weight.
00:49:22
Speaker
But these women, huh? You could just say fat. Well, yeah. Those chairs, if you watch the video, that's strong. I want to know where they got the chairs from. That's first and foremost. But they literally were questioning her intelligence. Yes. And saying, what has she done? She doesn't seem that smart. When collectively, and there was 10 of them up there, I feel like they had the combined IQ of 80. Well, even beyond something like that, ah you're talking to 10 women who literally have never heard Kamala Harris speak.
00:50:01
Speaker
They know absolutely nothing about her. They know nothing about her record. She is at HU. That's Howard University, the real HU graduate. to people You went to law school at UC Hastings. she was She was a district attorney. She was a ah trial attorney. a trial prosecutor. So she wasn't as well. She was attorney general elected attorney general of California reelected. She became the U S Senator for California, the largest state in the country. And then ascended to being picked and
00:50:50
Speaker
ah to being nominated and then winning the vice-presidentship. The hell you talking about? That woman has done more since graduating college than any of the women that were being questioned on that panel. Mm-hmm. One was a teacher, so maybe she got her master's degree. That was the thing that set me off. yeah Because you're a school teacher? Well, ain't nothing wrong with being a school teacher with me. No, no, no, no, no, no. no you had You got on television and was ignorant. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And you're a school. You are educating. Are you? alone Yeah, it's a lot of lot of not. I'm telling you. And you say out your mouth somebody's a DEI hire. I am praying for the little black and brown children in her class. Mm-hmm.
00:51:49
Speaker
praying Oh, she probably lives in a district where there are aren't a lot of black and brown people. I am. But she lives in a certain area in Wisconsin where... Praying. Yeah. There's not a lot of black and brown people. she's not She's not getting exposed to a lot of black and brown people. You know what really, you know what really surprised me? What's that? How many of them were sitting down angry? Yes. At the thought. Furious. Like just angry. Now don't get me wrong. Trump makes me angry. But ah if you sat down and that if I was doing an interview and you asked me about Trump, I'm going to articulate it and not be angry in my articulation of why I disagree with his policies. You wouldn't feel like a personal grudge.
00:52:37
Speaker
ah Yeah, i don't I don't have any beef with him personally. I mean, I got a lot of beef with him personally. He's a racist. Well, he had personally, I mean, from him i mean him to you know me and me, I ain't never met the man personally. so you know But it's giving but it's it was giving what people who use affirmative action hire, DEI hire, always give, which is the default is white male. If I'm a white male, then when any space that I'm in, if it's in business or I'm an entrepreneur or medicine or law, whatever, I earned my place there because I'm a white man. And anybody who is there who is not a white man must have been given a leg up to get here because the only person and that belongs in this space
00:53:35
Speaker
is me. Now, mind you, this is coming from people who George W. Bush became president because his father was. Oh, yeah, he became president. He was also a governor of Texas. Yeah. Okay. He also got into, ah where do you go, Harvard? Yeah, one of those. yeah I don't know. But it has a legacy. but But he graduated. like And went to see average. Look, I'm not a fan of W's political president know his presence presidency run. Yeah. However, I ain't going to say nothing bad about Michelle's friend right now. Oh, God. I can't. That man paints a few portraits and everybody. He paints a few portraits and he cool with Michelle. They toss some candy back and forth. You know what?
00:54:26
Speaker
I can understand him attacking another country because they try to kill my daddy.
00:54:33
Speaker
They try to kill his daddy, y'all. Got a lot of i got a lot of ah Americans, a lot of people in general killed. Yeah. It's not great. Trump was the president of the United States simply because he was a celebrity, not based on merit. No, it wasn't based on marriage. You know what's really going to trip a lot of these people out, especially these particular people who are like, who are so quick to say DEI, that you know what group affirmative action helped the most statistically?
00:55:09
Speaker
White women. White women. that But did you see on CNN, I cannot remember who this woman was. ah But her, she again invoked that idea of a d of ah VP Harris being a DEI hire. And she said, you know what? The white women aren't going to vote for her because you know she believes in all this equity. If y'all are just listening, I rolled my eyes so hard, like actually one of my eyes hurts after that. Be careful. um but And then she said, we have sons and husbands who go out and try to get jobs and they're turned away for for some black or brown person or some woman. Like this is what they truly believe yeah that we need to uphold
00:56:03
Speaker
positions of power and reserve them specifically and only for white men and that anybody else who got it up into some position of power who is not a white man, even if it's a white woman, this is a white woman saying this knowing that she benefits from a affirmative all we did this exact same thing to Hillary. So we knew that this was coming for VP Harris. We knew that it was coming for her. It's just, you know, it was a little, it was a little covert back in the day. It's not even covert. No, no, no. And it's so much worse. It is. It's so much worse. I don't know. Cause even some of the very old races are still being like, yo.
00:56:43
Speaker
oh Yo, y'all need to chill. What you doing? Y'all going too far. Like, calm down. yeah Like, we don't say this stuff out loud. We say it behind the back of them closed doors. You putting this all on all the news networks. No, it's a new generation. They say it on the news now. but um One dude on Fox Business News said that she was a DEI hire that had helped to eat her way to the top. This is not an exaggeration. This is real. But also, there is a guy running for the governorship of Missouri that said that he's running a platform of getting all illegals out of the country. I didn't know Missouri has been- Human beings could be illegal.
00:57:27
Speaker
Well, I mean, well, I'm just thinking of Missouri and the fact that it's been a Republican-led state. So I don't know how that seems like if you wanted to do something for your state, that that would have already been done. But he had a Spanish interpreter basically saying, we're going to get all you illegals out of here. The funding's over. And the interpreter was saying, oh, no, we're in trouble. And I was like, yo, this is literally man-tan blackface in real life but without blackface actually took a Spanish or a Latino person to actually do this. they This is what they're doing now and you know what I say bring it on. I love it how because now that we see everybody of who they are you are turning more people off than you think that you the people that you are
00:58:13
Speaker
getting support from? Yes, they love it. That's not as big as the majority as you think it is. It's not a big group that you think it is. A lot of people are being turned off by this because I see a lot of white women. that are just like, hold up. First of all, you took away our reproductive rights. That affects me. Yeah. I'm not flying with this. And VP Harris is saying, yeah, I'm fighting for your reproductive. She's doing all the right things. Yeah. She's attacking, not attacking. She's addressing the needs of the people that they are ignored. And the ignorant women. Her platform, though the ultimate message is that she plans to rebuild the middle class. Right.
00:58:55
Speaker
And the the the people that they're attacking, she's coveting, and they're going to be receptive to this because there's a lot of women that's just like, wait a minute, y'all keep talking about the fifties was great. The fifties, I couldn't do nothing. and I didn't have a credit card unless you said I could have a credit card. The only jobs I could have was a school teacher or a nurse. Yeah, nurse secretary. or secretary, which is what they were called. Then a secretary, not an assistant, not an administrative assistant, a secretary or stewardess. Yeah. they could be or you can be and Correct. Correct. yeah
00:59:36
Speaker
Um, well, I'll say this, I saw this online. I wish I knew who said it. I would, I would give them their props, but this is absolutely true. If women were able to sleep their way to the top, it'd be a lot more women in power. So that's dumb. Um, which maybe not because she was literally elected. She was. She was elected for attorney general. She was elected to be senator. She was elected to be the vice president. She has gained more than enough delegates that she needs to secure the nomination for president. She's literally in full public view of everyone being elected into these positions. So how in the hell?
01:00:21
Speaker
um Did Monica Lewinsky even get a book deal? Yes, she did. Oh, okay. Well, where's that book? We ain't, I ain't never seen it. Yeah, she's, no, she got a book. She got a book. But I mean, but you know what I'm saying? If that was possible. Well, well, you know why it's not possible. You know why it's not possible. Why? Because it's been reported that during the Republican National Committee,
01:00:48
Speaker
The dating platform grinder. Oh, the convention, yes. A convention. At the Republican National Convention, the the dating platform grinder, which is a gay, a male gay dating platform, was blowing up that weekend. It crashed. Yeah, it crashed. In the city in which they were holding the Republican National Convention. So it always be the loudest people. It always be the loudest people that live live live a live a life. All right, let's wrap this up. Do you have any final thoughts on this? um Let me tell you something. Y'all done started something that we gonna finish.
01:01:39
Speaker
Kamala Harris is not just a black woman. She's not just an Asian woman. She is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Incorporated. That is a lifetime sorority that is part of what is known as the divine nine. They are a pan, hella pan. I don't know how to say that word. And so I'm not going to keep trying to say it. You don't know how to say it. I'm definitely not going to try. But they are Greek organizations over a hundred years old. Okay. Black organizations that are ready
01:02:21
Speaker
and waiting to mobilize and secure the presidency for their sister. And they are not
Michael Jackson's Alleged Affiliations
01:02:30
Speaker
lying they're not They're not playing. Y'all have no idea the network that the Divine Nine has across the, that's 4 million voters.
01:02:45
Speaker
Okay. Like y'all, huh? It's 1 million. and all of the divine mind? The membership is all of the membership, and some of those people are dead. Yeah, I was talking to somebody who was a capitalist, because it's a million living. Oh, okay. ah Yeah, it's a million living. I don't know why somebody said four million. Yeah, because they were taking probably the total number, um but about three million of those people were kids.
01:03:19
Speaker
I can't say that word, council. The NPHC is a group of historic nine historically black Greek letter organizations with nearly 4 million members. Yeah, but yeah they're they're counting all members from the beginning. No, you're saying of all nine Well, okay, I talked to somebody and it's a million. it's It's a million because they were saying like the campus has got maybe like 350 and fifty in the campus is probably maybe the largest one. No, and he said the AKA's was probably the largest one. Anyway, I'm not gonna get caught on semantics. and We gotta to wrap this up.
01:03:53
Speaker
yeah Also, you cannot personally attack a Black woman because we have this amazing ability, and I i actually got this from a standout from Tony Rock, amazing ability to take insults and turn them into positives. you could call it a B word and she can respond, yeah, I'm that B, I'm always gonna be that B. Like we have this uncanny ability and as it's just not gonna rock us. She is going to get out there and she is going to show you who she is, she needs to, because we don't know her well enough, personality wise, but she's gonna show you who she is and what she's capable of and how she's been working toward this for decades.
01:04:38
Speaker
And I'm really excited by how ah engaged and activated everybody is. This is going to be a historic election.
01:04:56
Speaker
All to wrap up this show, let's switch to everything and cut everything else loose and let's enter in something that's really interesting. DJ Quick was on drink champs the other day and he insinuated that Michael Joseph Jackson was indeed a Crip. A Crip like in Los Angeles, you got the Crips and the Bloods. The reason why he said this is because he was throwing up cookies, Crip signs with his Crip homies in pictures. Now there are several pictures.
01:05:34
Speaker
of Michael Jackson with people who were certified yeah and affiliated. He also had a lot of bloods and crips in his Beat It video. And we know that he's kind of taken elements of the crip walk in his dance maneuvers. hu We also know that that wasn't Michael Jackson's real voice. Then he had a much deeper voice. And he used to trick people by calling them using this real voice. And they were like, who is this? It's me. That everybody that what people assume is Michael Jackson's voice is not his real voice. And he had a much deeper voice. And there are some videos out there where he's giving interviews and he slips up and doesn't do the hot pitch voice and does his real voice. Right.
01:06:31
Speaker
He is a lot more things than what people think he is. And DJ Quick says, Mike is affiliated. What you think about that? I saw an interview with the rapper D Smoke and Snoop Dogg, who is certified. He has that blue flag. Who's Snoop? Because I don't know who i't know who Smoke is. Yes, Snoop is. Yeah, Snoop is definitely a critic. Yes. And Snoop said, though the what the the main photo that everybody's talking about is from the set of, what the heck is that song where he's just stalking a woman around the street who's just trying to get on her way. The way you make me feel. The way you make me feel. He's got a blue shirt on, he had actors ah in there who apparently showed up
01:07:24
Speaker
dressed with they blue flags and they got him, Snoop says, they got him in the photo and they said, hey man, do this. And they showed him the sign and Michael threw it up and they took the photo. Okay. Snoop smokes a lot. We going to take his word for it? Let me, no, you can take Michael's own word for it. Oh, Michael said somebody. Not his words, his actions. His actions. Billie Jean video. yeah He is wearing a red bow tie and a red shirt. they Beat it. way you make way Not done, not done. Beat it. He is wearing a red and gold jacket. Thriller. He is wearing a red and black jacket. Leave me alone. He is wearing a red and gold jacket. The entire bad era.
01:08:20
Speaker
He is wearing black pants, a black fedora, and a red shirt. He had a Leatherman jacket with an M on it that was red and gold. That man ain't no damn crap.
01:08:40
Speaker
All the red that he wore in just the bad era, from thriller to bad, all the red he wore, My man was red dripping. Ain't no way. The way you make me feel, the way you make me feel is, hmm, I think that's, is that the bad album? The way you make me feel. Is that dangerous? Because he could have been, he could have been Peru. That's bloods, ladies and gentlemen. He could have been Peru nation. And then switch to Crips after that, wait after the way you make me feel.
01:09:19
Speaker
It's on the bad album. And I'm telling you that whole bad era, this man is in a red shirt. But he wasn't wearing the red jacket that he had ditched off a thriller. He wasn't wearing a red jacket no more. But he was still wearing the red shirt. He also wore a lot of blue. In the bad concert, mo a bad tour, he's wearing red on the bad tour.
01:09:45
Speaker
Well, maybe he was a pie room instead of clips. Instead of clips. Look, in the video for Bad, he got a brother on roller skates, on red roller skates that they zoom in on ah him doing the moonwalk and red roller skates. And then they pull out and show the whole dude. And he does a split and comes back up. You can't tell me that Michael Joseph Jackson was a crip. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. They got one video of him. They asked him to throw up a sign. He asked no questions. He just did it. And that's, and they, and, and Snoop said, after they took the photo, the guys were like, Hey, you see, you know what you just did, Mike. He didn't know what he just did. He don't know. Okay. And they had that photo and they were like, we got this for all time. All right. Okay. I will say this.
01:10:40
Speaker
I know that you're a Prince person and Prince and Michael had this this thing. I am not. But gangsters, Crips and Bloods from that air. Don't diss Michael. Don't say anything bad about Michael. They treat Michael like they do Magic and Kobe and cross all color barriers as far as blue and red. I don't know about black and white, but maybe black and white, too. But it crosses the blue and red barrier. They're purple. They're like ah Sam Jackson in Star Wars. He gets steady he he had a purple life saver instead of blue and red. That's what they are. Magic, Kobe, and Michael Jackson, purple.
01:11:17
Speaker
I don't know nothing about that, because I i have not spoken with Crips and Bloods in the 80s. I did not do any interviews, so I don't know that. I could see them having that level of respect for him because they he did have them in the Beat It video and the Way You Make Me Feel video. I could see them just having some level of respect for him for that kind of you know exposure or whatever. But no, this is the dumbest thing I ever heard in my life. I don't think we're gonna call DJ Quik dumb. He's been... I think he's trying to say anything and be relevant, but it's... I mean, it's DJ Quik. He's always relevant. Is he? I don't know. Yeah, he is. Okay. Yeah, I don't really know what song. And I don't like it. You don't know what song? I only know one DJ Quik song and I... Well, he's a producer. That's the reason why, you know, I mean, he's mainly a producer. I mean, he did some albums. He did some did some records too, but he's mainly a producer.
01:12:14
Speaker
Mm-hmm. Whatever. My thing is ridiculous. Like, it's just like the one that said, what if Michael got arrested? was and yeah I want him dead tonight. Like, that whole thing, like, eh, come on, it's ludicrous. Like, i what yeah i think I think you just don't want to ever say Michael Jackson is cool because you love Prince so much. I think you just hating. Why is him being gang affiliated automatically make him cool? oh I don't know, but it people would love to do it. I mean, Chris Brown is gang affiliated. Do I think Michael Jackson was cool? No, I don't think he was cool.
01:12:57
Speaker
I think he was an extraordinary entertainer. And I don't, you know, yeah he had his troubles. So I don't know why what can you say about that. But am i am I a Prince fan? Yes, but that doesn't mean that I didn't listen to Michael Jackson. That's ridiculous. I'm not saying he's not cool. I'm just saying that he was not a Crip. You did just say he's not cool. but You literally just said he's not cool. Oh, yeah, I mean, he's not. You literally just... So you double-backed in the start? No, like, I mean, because it's kind of like, you know, he plays that Peter Pan, never grow up kind of child. Like, I wouldn't describe him as... He tried to have a four-way into Coolness, and that was the Bad album. Which was cool. But it just came off kind of corny. No, I don't think Bad came off as corny. Bad is his greatest album. It was kind of corny.
01:13:54
Speaker
You know what? On that note, ladies and gentlemen, I'm cutting my sister off. I don't really need to talk to you anymore for for for a couple of weeks, I guess. Yeah. well I'm not going to yeah do that. She's just angering me because she's such a Prince fan. yeah She's doing little shots to Michael, and I don't feel like that's necessary. it You could just say,
Closing Remarks and Engagement
01:14:13
Speaker
no, he wasn't a Crip, and OK. Yeah, that's what I did say. And then you said, you're the one that came up and said, oh, you don't think he's cool. I was like, I never said anything about him being cool and that I don't think he's cool, but. You did say something about him not being cool. Everything that you were talking about was insinuating. No, everything that you're saying that before that time was insinuating the fact that you didn't think that Michael Jackson was cool. All I said was he was out of red during the thriller and bad era. I don't think he wore a lot of red.
01:14:46
Speaker
Google it. I gotta, I gotta go back on. Well, maybe, you know, maybe he was Piru. Maybe he wasn't Crip.
01:14:55
Speaker
Maybe somebody, maybe one of the Pirus checked and was like, Hey, you know what you did in this picture? He's like, Oh, I'm sorry. like How would he not know if he, and thank you so much for listening, ladies and gentlemen, please like, subscribe.
