Power symbolizes truth, yet refinement is where conscious decisions come into play. As I navigate this journey, I grapple with the complexities of personal and societal truth, particularly when faced with an election that seems to overlook my community's interests. This episode invites you to examine the influence of power and the necessity of refinement, challenging you to reflect on your own choices in light of these truths.

The stories of Elizabeth Francis and Naomi Whitehead stand as powerful testaments to a life well-lived, showcasing resilience and enduring legacy within the African American community. While honoring these remarkable women, we also discuss the legal saga of rapper Young Thug and his acceptance of responsibility, examining the broader societal impacts of rap music. It's a reminder for artists to wield their influence wisely, especially for the impressionable youth looking up to them for guidance.

From the political weight carried by black voters to the enigmatic role of celebrities like Cardi B in political discourse, this episode unpacks the complex dynamics of politics and representation. Immigration policies and their potential impact on the African American vote are explored, raising questions about political strategies that could reshape the landscape. This conversation isn't just about politics; it's about understanding, engaging, and reflecting on the intricate threads that weave through our social fabric, urging us toward a more informed and equitable future.

Speaker 1:

So I'm not gonna sit here and say I'm gonna do something that's only gonna benefit black people.

Speaker 2:

No, peace, peace, peace. And welcome back to the network freeman's affairs radio Radio. I'm your host, vaughn Black. Aaron Vaughn Black, that is, and how are you? This glorious sunrise, november 5th 2024. How are you, family? Welcome back.

Speaker 2:

And today's math, as you know, as you know, is november 5th is, and that is power or refinement. So, before we get in to to the, the program that we have up here, before we get into that, let's talk about that, that power or refinement. You know, in the, in the math, some of the, some of the people in in the nation, they there's a. There was always a debate between, uh, is it power or is it power and refinement, and the argument has always been that you cannot refine power. Right, and that is true to an extent, because power is symbolic to the truth. As we know, power's always been symbolic to the truth. And why do we say that? Right? Because the truth is the most influential force in the universe, is the truth, and this is why we say power is symbolic to the truth and it cannot be refined. However, however, you can as a person seeking truth, as a person seeking the truth, and once you found the truth, you're faced with a decision, right, and that decision is whether you act on the truth or whether you put the blinders on and put your hands over your ears and act like you don't see or hear the truth right, which is which is unrighteous. But if you witness it, you see it, you hear it, you have to make a decision to act on it, and that is refinement. You have to make the adjustment, and that is refinement. It requires you to do so. Once you start learning things about yourself, about others and your surroundings, your cipher, you're faced with a reality that you have to make a decision to act on what you've learned. Let me get that bed back in here.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and it's so crazy and ironic that today is the fifth and we're going to get into the elections and everything like that, because today everybody's gone running out last minute voting for the general election. So we don't. We don't want to keep you up here too long, but we just thought we'd come up here and mention some things. I was thinking about doing a live later on to to cover the cover, the election, but I don't think I am. I'm just going to sit around and, um, well, I'm going to be doing my thing, doing my research and studying and watching the election at the same time. Um, I haven't decided whether I'm going to go vote or not. I'm leaning towards the couch party. I'm leaning towards the couch because I don't like either candidate. Really Well, I don't say I don't like them, but there's nothing on the table for my people, for my group and for my interests, so I don't have a horse in the game.

Speaker 2:

Now. I do not want this woman to win because I think that will be catastrophic, uh, disaster for for my ethnic group, and we've preached to it blue in the face up here and other platforms. Other content creators have been preaching this and you know, some of our people, just just like we was just saying, got their hands over their eyes and hands over their ears and they don't want to hear or see anything. You can't tell them nothing. It's all about this black woman and you got to stand behind a black woman and trump is a racist and that, so you know, we, we we've done that, we've done our part. Now it's on, it's on you. Once you're faced with the reality of things, you have to make a decision. Back to that power or refinement. Yeah, yeah, yeah, family, that's what it is. That's what it is.

Speaker 2:

I got two stories. Before I get into the political stuff, I got two things I want to touch on, and one is let me see can I find the story. Let me see can I find it. Hold on, I'll do it through the iPad. Hold on, okay, give me just a quick blink and we can get into it. Let me see Can I find. Oh, yeah, here it is. There she goes.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, now, last week we reported on the oldest living woman had passed away on October 22nd 2024. Her name was Elizabeth Francis and she was a native of houston. I think she was born in louisiana and then moved to houston and she spent a lot of time in that community houston, texas and um she died at 115. That was on october 22nd of 2024. Now, since then, she was a foundational um black american woman and um a descendant of friedman. Now, since then, uh, she the the new person to hold that in the united states, who holds that honor of being the oldest living person in north america, is a georg, georgia native who lives, who's now resident in Pennsylvania. Her name is Naomi Whitehead. She's a native of Georgia. Let me see Can I find something on Miss Whitehead. Hold on, okay, we got Fox, okay, yeah.

Speaker 4:

Is now believed to be the oldest living person in North America. Wow, her name is Naomi Whitehead Ron. She's 114 years old. She looks great. She was born on a farm here in Georgia on September 26, 1910. She eventually got married and had three sons. She has since outlived them all and now lives in a senior care community in Pennsylvania. Yeah, whitehead told a news station there that she doesn't have a set age. She wants to make it to, but she plans to live as long as the Lord lets her. Yeah, she's looking sharp there too, isn't she? Oh, my gosh, I know, my goodness, she looks great, yeah, family.

Speaker 2:

So that's what it is. That's what is another foundational black American woman, naomi Whitehead. She has took in the title for the oldest living citizen in North America, united States, and we thought that was important to get that up in here. And, yeah, that was the first story we wanted to get at. That was the first story we wanted to get at, and we also want to talk about Young Thug. I also want to talk about Young Thug. He was released on Halloween from the courts there. Hold on, let me get out of that, go back. Let me go back. Let me go back. Okay, yeah, so we're going to get into that in just a second. Let me get that back up in here. Yeah, family, hold on, yeah, we're gonna get that back in over here in a second. But, um, I'm glad the brother is out, I'm glad he's out and hopefully he, but he has a lengthy, very lengthy probation period that he has to get by. Hold on, let's see. Can we get the story up in here?

Speaker 6:

hold on um, yes, ma'am, um, I take full responsibility for, you know, my crimes or my charges. Uh, I want to say sorry to my family, my mom, my mom got kids. I can't say all their names. You know my managers, my kids that's not here Really, everybody that got something to do with this situation. I want to say sorry for, just like you know, having so much time investing into this.

Speaker 6:

You know, I am a smart guy, I am a good guy and I really got a good heart. You know, I find myself in a lot of stuff because I was just nice or cool. You know, and I understand that you can't be that way when you reach a certain height, because it could end bad and it don't really have to have anything to do with you, but it can end bad and they don't really have to have nothing to do with you, but it could end bad and it could, you know, fall on you, and I know the choice is yours, it's up to you, and I hope that you allow me to go home today and just trust in me to just do the right thing and never see you again, unless it's at a bar in the future or something, just out of this type of situation. I promise you I'm going to be in this type of situation again. I'm going away. I've learned from my mistakes. I come from nothing and I've made something and I didn't take full advantage of it. I'm sorry. Through these last two and a half years of my life, you are really, truly, honestly, the best thing that has happened to me, because you made everything fair for me and everybody involved on both sides. You know I'm sorry to share Everything's fair for me and everybody involved on both sides. I'm sorry to share with everybody for just having to put extra time in. I know y'all got to pay more money, but I'm sorry for y'all having to put this extra time in and be away from y'all family. I just hope that you find it in your heart to allow me to go home and be with my family and just do do better as a person. I know what I bring to the table. I know what I am. I know the heights I've reached. I know the impact I got on people period in the community. You know all people.

Speaker 6:

I learned that late, like past these past two or three years of my life. I kind of learned that late and maybe it was because I was, you know, probably on drugs or anything, I don't know. But I have came to my senses. I understand what I mean to this world. But I am a good guy, you, I don't mind doing stuff like free shows. I always did that. I did free shows and gave it to single parents Millions of dollars. I made $1.8 million on a free show and I gave it all to single parent charity. I did two or three shows that made $700,000 apiece and I gave it to the breast cancer organization. Like you know, I do things. I put millions of dollars back into my community. For real, I really did. I did more than anybody ever did from my side, you know.

Speaker 6:

But I understand, you know rap lyrics. I understand how it could be twisted. I understand what it could do to the mind of people. I understand how it could be twisted. I understand what it could do to the mind of people. I understand all that and I promise you I'm 100% changing that. You know, it's just I'm older, I'm grown now, you know, and it's just like I'm smarter. There's more things to rap about. Like I've experienced a lot of good things. I experienced more bad things, but I experienced a lot of good things too. Anyway, I can go forever.

Speaker 7:

Well, I appreciate it. I appreciate that you do realize how much of an impact you have on people. I mean, it's past your neighborhood, it's worldwide, especially young people. Having come up from where you came up from and living in and around that, you know that gangs are damaging to our community and it may be that a whole lot of rap music and the rap industry with rap, but whether it is fake or not, it has tremendous impact on kids and young people who think this is cool. This is what I want to do. Look at him, he's a millionaire. I can do that by being, you know, a gangster in the streets, and that's not true.

Speaker 7:

What's likely to have happened to you if you're a gangster in the streets is you get shot, you get killed or you get thrown in prison, and those are, you know, by far the most likely outcomes. And you know, you've been in here watching the trial and you've seen the pictures of Mr Ryan posing with a gun as big as he is at 15 years old and going out and shooting and killing another teenager. And that's what gangs do and that's, unfortunately, a lot of what rap music does. And if you are a modern day John Lennon, you know, I mean he might. He might have rapped too in this day and age, I don't know. But I know you're talented and even if you choose to continue to rap, you need to try to use your influence to let kids know that that is not the way to go and that there are ways out of poverty besides hooking up with the powerful guy at the end of the street selling drugs and you know, I know that happens for protection sometimes but a much better way would be getting an education and setting. You know, hanging around with people who set a good example and you be one of those people that sets a good example. Um, I mean, all right. So so that's my high horse on that. I could also go on, but I want you to try to be more of the solution and less of the problem.

Speaker 7:

All right, all right, not lost on the court that the state, had they been able to come to agreement on certain special conditions, was willing to entirely dismiss the RICO count, was willing to entirely dismiss one of the gang counts and was willing to entirely dismiss this machine gun count, was willing to give a sentence that permitted Mr Williams to walk out of the door today and therefore does not seem to be particularly worried that Mr Williams, if on the streets would be a danger to society.

Speaker 7:

I'm taking that into consideration and crafting my sentence and in permitting a NOLO plea to the RICO count and one of the two gang counts, I would not be permitting the NOLO to the one if you were not pleading guilty to at least one of them. But you are and you all admit a factual basis for the counts that you are pleading guilty to. I find there to be a factual basis for those counts and for the remaining counts with which you are charged, with which you are charged. I am going to impose a sentence and I've taken a little bit of the suggested special conditions from the defense and a little bit of the special conditions suggested by the prosecution.

Speaker 2:

Okay, family, I'm not going to go any further with that. This was the phase of the plea agreement for young Doug. Young man found his way out of this well, not completely out of it, because he has a 15-year probationary period that he has to circumvent or go through to to, you know, for this thing to be completely over with. At the end of that, there is a 20-year sentence hanging over his head which will probably be probably be commuted if he is successful in completing his, uh, the probationary period. It's 15 years, very long time. Um, I I'm I'm kind of ambivalent about it, in in in one direction or the other, because I'm glad he is going to be free to refine his career and make the adjustment back to that power, or power refinement, to start, you know, his redemptive state over again, you know to to redeem himself and hopefully he continues his music himself and hopefully he continues his music. He is going to be, from what I understand, allowed to interact with some of the other defendants that were on the case. Um, at the same time, I feel like that is a very, very strenuous circumstance to be under 15 years to. You know, you, you can't, even because you're such you know you can't, even because you're such a high profile. You can't even jaywalk or throw a piece of trash on the street without them, without the worry of them being on top of you for every little thing traffic stops, or weed in the car, drinking a beer out of an open container. You know just, it's going to be a lot. I would think that the brother, the first couple years, the brother spends most of his time in the studio doing charitable work, doing community work in the studio, making music for these children. Now, one thing the judge, judge, as she was speaking, she, she stated about the music and it was in the direction of blaming some of the societal ills on the music.

Speaker 2:

Let me don't particularly buy into that, because some of the most deadliest dudes that I've ever been around, they didn't even listen to rap music. When I, when I tell you cats some of the cats that I know that were very uh, they were professional guys they, they, that's what they did. They did tracking and things like that for a living. These guys didn't even listen to rap or any kind of hip hop or anything. They really didn't. You know, these guys, uh, some of these guys were into, um, I'm, I'm into classical music myself. Uh, I find it very soothing and relaxing when I want to think I listen to classical music. Um, some of these guys had a penchant for that. They weren't into all of the. You know the stuff that we, that people, listen to. Of the. You know the stuff that we, that people, listen to. You know these dudes could do a drive by shooting listening to Luther Vandross. That's what kind of people these guys were.

Speaker 2:

So it's not always the music now is there. I'm not putting the blinders on and saying that there is a, there isn't a, a coalition between some of the foolishness that goes on and and some of the lyrics that some of the artists choose to record. As far as the, the drill music and stuff like that, that can have, you know, you constantly listening to that and my coochie pop and all the, the sexual overtones of the music today, does it play a a, a part in the, in the, I want to say the, the hypnosis of society, the hypnotizing of the youth? Of course it does, you know, because children are very impressionable and when they hear these lyrics some of them not even understanding or knowing what they're repeating they hear a beat or melody and they like it and it's very impressionable on them and they sing these songs or whatever like that and it's it's, it's it's on awareness in their minds because they're so young and impressionable now. They're so young and impressionable now. But I'm not going to blame all of the ills on society in the black community on rap lyrics, because those lyrics don't only, don't only, uh, affect the black community, affect other communities as well.

Speaker 2:

So we're not going to sit and use that excuse. You know blaming on the music. You know I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna gonna step on artists like that. It I would, I would have more of a finger-pointing position at the labels and at the executives of these labels that promote the music and that produce the music. So we're not gonna play these games and blame these, these artists, some of these artists.

Speaker 2:

You see the brother he was standing there trying to articulate to the judge his, his, uh, his, uh I want to say taking responsibility for, for his past actions, and he was trying, doing his best to to articulate his um, regret and stuff like that, and he was having some struggles at some points. But we understand, we understand what it is and the judge understood it. So yeah, family moving right along, right along, we sticking with the power or power refinement. Well, today is election day. I'm here in the tri-state area, in the New York area, and I haven't, as of this hour, I haven't made up my mind. Well, I'm going to the polls or not? I probably won't. I'm leaning towards sitting it out, um, because, uh, really, what the what? The bottom line is going to be the electoral, uh, the electoral college, be the electoral, uh, the electoral college, uh, process, uh, the populist thing is going to be one thing, but the electorate is going to be what. What's the deciding factor in all of this? So we understand that, we understand that. Um, I don't think he needs my help, I don't think he needs my help, I don't think he needs my help. But then again, vp Harris may pull it out, she may pull it out. You know the race has been a dead heat up until now. The race has been a dead heat and you know this poll comes out, that poll comes out.

Speaker 2:

But y'all been seeing what's going on around the nation at these rallies and who's been having more of a galvanizing effect on society. Y'all see it. You see the news, you see the clips on the internet, different things, x spaces and instagrams and facebook posts and stuff. You know, this mic keeps jumping up because I got the wires down at the bottom of my feet and every time I move my feet this mic jumps back. So I'm going to have to reroute some of these wires and I'm sorry for the noise, I apologize, but anyway, family, anyway, back to this election. People have pretty much decided what they're going to do for the most part and, um, we've appeared at this program and other content creators. We've done our part to inform you, to bring you the real deal, the message.

Speaker 2:

And just the other day, just the other day, you had a bunch of these, what they call the BT Summit, and they were the idea who he was leading leading it, and Jermaine Dupri was up there and a couple other folks was up there. You know, everybody's discussing this thing with black men and the democratic process. Everybody's been talking about that and I don't understand why, right, I really don't understand why, right, I really don't understand why. Why is so much geared at at getting getting the black man to vote? Right, because any other time we're not important. Right, it's about the black and they play these little games to separate us and cause us division and to put out, had a conference there that the BET summit and bunch of moist Negroes because that's who represents the man side of of the democratic process or the democratic movement is a bunch of moist dudes. Not all of them. Now you got some thorough brothers that that might be around, that you know they. They there because of whatever, whatever they believe in, and it's fine, but most of them dudes. When you really look at them, most of them dudes are moist dudes. That that men men I'm talking about solid, straight back, square jawed men don't want to have nothing to do with you, feel me. So this is what it is Some people may call it.

Speaker 2:

Oh, the streets. You talking for the streets? Yes, that's, that is exactly correct. I am talking for the streets because I have a finger on the pulse of the streets. That's where I come from. Now, I'm not saying I represent the streets. I would like to think so, because that's what, that's the culture I come from, and I will never, never, ever, ever, ever turn my back to that fact, never, ever, ever, ever turn my back to that fact that that situation has got me where, to where I am today, speaking here on this mic speaking to you. So, no, I'm not gonna act like, oh, I'm gonna hide that part of my life, this, this, that's what made me come and take up the, the, the fight for this cause, and learned me what I learned. So I will never act like, oh, that's not a part of my past and that's what's wrong with a lot of these, these, these highfalutin, um, high so-called higher education, negroes, the gatekeepers and the great thing about this whole process family.

Speaker 2:

Now, this election has caused a lot of division. I'm going to speak for the black community. It has caused a great deal of division and friendships. Even families are bickering at each other and and different things like that. But this is one thing I'll tell you. I am certainly glad that it did because you know why. It allows us to see who's who.

Speaker 2:

Now I've had guests up here. I'm not going to call them names because that wouldn't be right and exact to call names, but they know who they are. If they listening, they probably are listening. But it has caused me some friendships. Well, really you weren't friends, because now I do have a lifelong friend that I was, that I'm tight with and me and him are vehemently opposed. He is for a democrat, he is for this Kamala woman. He's, he's just, that's what he's into. He believes in that and I don't.

Speaker 2:

Now, I'm not a Trump supporter at all.

Speaker 2:

I want to make that clear.

Speaker 2:

I'm not a Trump supporter. I do not support Donald Trump. I like some of his policies, especially when you start talking about the deportation of the illegals here. That is one of my main concerns. I like that. I like the fact that he has a track record for having a good economy, even though the Democrats will say, well, he inherited that from from the previous administration, ok, whatever.

Speaker 2:

But what I'm saying is now, that is my friend, my lifelong friend. We, even though we disagree, that is still my friend, my small brother. I will never stop being a friend to him, even though he makes me angry and I I'm trying to figure. I'm like, are you listening to what I'm saying? Because that's what happens with a lot of this stuff, family, do you notice that with a lot of these things, when you start pointing out back to that power refinement, power or power refinement, back to that, when you're faced with with with facts, facts in front of you, you're forced to make, you have to make a decision, and it seems like whatever you put out, there in front of these people.

Speaker 2:

They don't want to see it, they don't want to hear it, they don't want to acknowledge it. They'll skip right over it. Just like the fact whenever I play that clip when that woman said with her full chest. That woman said with her full chest family. So I'm not going to sit here and say I'm going to do something that's only going to benefit black people, no, and I played it at the top, at the opening. So I'm not going to sit here and say I'm going to do something that's only going to benefit black people, no, yeah, I played that at the top, you know. She said that with her full chest and then reared back in her seat and crossed her legs. Now that was it. That would have been enough for me, for any logical thinking person who was looking at the reality of things. That would have been enough. She said that oh no, but see, they don't want to hear that. They put their hands over their ears and act like she never even said that, just like with that five-point garbage she came out with the other week talking about legalizing weed and all of this stuff. Like that's, all we want to do is smoke weed and goof off which a lot of us. That's where we at in life. That's all we want to do. You see cats rolling up all day, licking them blunts and rolling up all day. That's all they want to do is get high because they don't want to deal with reality, something that there's something in their lives that makes them. I want to drink and get high all day, every day. I don't want to deal with my reality. I've been there, I know what it is, so this is why I can make these proclamations the way I do up here on this microphone and um, yeah, they, they, they don't want to deal. They'll skip right over that, the factual things, they'll skip right over to the point. A lot of them are delusional, even with this election, when, when they're doing these pollings and they're showing some some days, trump might be up a point or two ahead of her nationwide, and they all know that's a lie. That's a lie, you know? No, no, no, they just crash out, they crash out. Same with these dudes, same with these dudes. We done, they done, proved.

Speaker 2:

The female, the candace girl, dug deep and she did some excellent work, digging in deep into this woman's background to find out she was lying all this time that her parents, her lineage, she isn't black, not that that matters. I never really got off into a lot of that stuff because it didn't matter. At a certain point it didn't matter no more because the race is off, she's in the race. Because it didn't matter. At a certain point it didn't matter no more because the race is on, she's in the race, says it doesn't matter. But to to bring out the facts, people are not looking at the facts. Um, they kept putting this narrative oh, she's a black woman, sisters, that's our sister, we got to protect her, we got to take care of her, yada, yada, all of this stuff. Right, and come to find out the woman don't have a black bone in her body. There is no trace of any blackness.

Speaker 2:

The woman she used as the picture of her grandmother was a servant, a family servant back there in Jamaica where her parents, where her father and her father's side were from. That was a picture of a doula, like one of those doulas or whatever. And then she had to come out and admit I forget which show that was on, what show that was on where she had to come out and admit that she has family. That's really not family, but they're like family, they're friends and they help raise the community. She had to admit that that's what she is. That's the people she was using as her uncles and aunts. In this one they were just neighborhood people, friends of the family and stuff like that, which was cap too. That was all cap, it was all cap.

Speaker 2:

We have people in the neighborhood that we treat them like family and stuff like that, which was cap too. That was all cap, it was all cap. You know we have people in the neighborhood that you know we treat them like family and everything. But we know we're not blood. There is days. They're not tied to our family lineage, they're neighborhood people. But you know, mrs Pearl and Mr Huey down the street or whatever, you know, these are community people but they're not our family. And that's the way. She had to, in a subtle way, admit that she was being deceitful about her lineage. Woman is, on her mother's side she's a Brahmin Indian and on her father's side she's a Jamaican-born Irish lineage there. And just because you're born in Jamaica doesn't automatically make you black. You have all kind of people in Jamaica. You have Asian people, you have European people born there, but their nationality is Jamaican and their lineage is something else. But I don't want to get away from this election thing.

Speaker 2:

We have and she's just been. It's been a train wreck, so to speak, in her campaign. They've been trying to mask it as that she's you know, everything is okay and this and that, but there's been a train wreck in her campaign and I'm going to play something here. Hold on just a second. Just a second. Okay, we got it, we got it. We got it. We got it. Let's go Hold on, hold on. I've been waiting for this moment to come, love.

Speaker 8:

More votes are going to come your way, so, anyways, what we're going to do is react to how embarrassing this endorsement was.

Speaker 2:

Anyways, what we're going to do is react to how embarrassing this endorsement was Fair use fair use.

Speaker 8:

Cardi B forgot what she had to say, and so she needed her assistant to bring out her cell phone so she can read her script. Yes, I know. Why don't we just show you what happens in the beginning?

Speaker 5:

Check this out. I'm nervous, I'm excited. What's up y'all?

Speaker 2:

One second, guys. One second Now, family. What happened here? Cardi B was up there to endorse Kamala Harris. She was up there to endorse her and her teleprompter went out. There's something with the Harris campaign. Something's always happening with the teleprompter. So when she was going into her speech or whatever her endorsement, she was calling for patience. Right, the girl to bring. She wasn't calling the crowd to be patient. I guess that's this woman's name was Patience or whatever and she was calling for Patience to bring her her phone with the speech that was sketched out for her on her phone device and that's why she was pausing like this. But let us continue. Hold on.

Speaker 5:

Okay, so I don't take lightly the call. Sorry guys, I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous, guys. I've been waiting for this moment this whole life, my whole life. I need patience over here. Patience, where are you, girl? I need patience over here. I need patience over here. Hold on, hold, on, hold on how you guys doing tonight, how you guys doing tonight. Are we ready to make history? Are we ready to make history? Are we ready to make history? Are we ready to change these four years? No, are we ready to change the next eight years, because we're going to make sure we have Kamala Harris in office for eight years.

Speaker 2:

Thank you All. Right Now the girl, young lady, finally brought out her phone where the speech was written on, and so she can read it because, like I said, the teleprompter went out. This is what we're finding out. The teleprompter went out, so she was brought the the speech out and here she goes, hold on.

Speaker 5:

Vice president Kamala Harris.

Speaker 8:

Okay, so clearly that's embarrassing. Okay, that's one. Two, I don't think this endorsement means anything, for the record, because Cardi B is the type of person who six months ago says, oh, I'm not getting involved in the election, I'm not supporting the Democrats because of what they have done to New York City. Now she's on stage. Now I know you might be wondering like, okay, but what would make her endorse Kamala Harris all I mean at the last minute here. Well, why don't we let Cardi B tell you?

Speaker 5:

I wasn't going to vote this year. I wasn't but Kamala Harris joining the race. She changed my mind completely. I did not have faith on any candidates until she joined the race and said the things that I wanted to hear, that I want to see next in this country. All right, I believe in every word that comes out of her mouth. She's passionate, she's compassionate, she shows empathy and, most of all, she is not delusional. Yeah, yeah, kamala recognized that this country is at risk, that the economy needs to get stronger, that the cost of food and the cost of living is too high.

Speaker 2:

Let's stop right there for a minute. Let's stop. Let me show you the lunacy out here. The lunacy now. People are cheering what she just said. She wants to see change, and you, first of all, you're the one that your administration is. The is the reason why the country is in the shape that it's in now. Because of them open borders and your vote, your deciding vote, on the inflation bill. Now they sent this little, this little woman out here. You know that she's not that smart. You could tell she talks. I've been waiting for this my whole life, the whole time, my whole life I've been waiting. Just just silliness, man. But good, let's, let's, let us continue. Damn, it's even high for me.

Speaker 8:

You know, cardi B happens to probably be the voter that Kamala Harris really wants, the voter that hasn't connected the dots that she's been in office for the last three and a half years people, she's been very instrumental in every single decision that has impacted the country. Not my opinion. Joe Biden said that, our president said that and as vice president.

Speaker 3:

there wasn't a single thing that I did that she couldn't do, and so I was able to delegate her responsibility on everything from foreign policy to domestic policy.

Speaker 8:

And of course, we don't need to get into foreign policy and the border, because I'm sure she just a second.

Speaker 2:

Let me say this family. Let me see yo. I gotta laugh because it seemed like joe biden has been down low sabotaging the campaign. It seemed he just did something again. I believe it was Saturday. He's talking about the Trump voters. First he said the thing about their garbage the Trump voters supporters of garbage so they had a big thing about that. Then he said something the other day about you know, it's kind of people just want to smack him in the ass. Smack him in the ass. You know this dude. He been down. I think he been down low sabotaging that woman's campaign because he's been upset at the way they Pelosi and Barack Obama ousted him from the race.

Speaker 2:

I think he still carrying that chip on him. Yeah, family, yeah, yeah, from the race. I think he's still carrying that chip on him. Yeah, family, yeah, yeah. Let's get back to it. I had to stop to acknowledge that and it's funny, it's so funny. But go ahead, let us continue. Back to it, back to it.

Speaker 8:

Got that in her speech, but she said she better not lie to me. What are you On another planet? They all lie. What are you talking about?

Speaker 5:

I believe her when she says under her buying eggs and milk won't break the bank Because she's going to pass a ban on price dodging on groceries. And she told me that in my face, so she better not lie to me in my face.

Speaker 8:

You know what's funny about what she was saying? She literally created an ad for Trump. She says that everything is high. Well duh, that's the current administration, but clearly she only blames Joe Biden. We know that because she went off on Joe Biden last year on a rant on social media that went viral.

Speaker 5:

I'm not endorsing no fucking presidents, no more. On social media, that went viral. I'm not endorsing no fucking presidents, no more. Because how is there a $100 million budget cut in New York City for fucking schools, library, police, safety and sanitation? Yeah, joe Biden's talking about like, yeah, we could fund two wars, we could fund two wars. Motherfuckers talking about we don't got it, but we got it. We're the greatest nation. No, the fuck, we're not. Not, we're going through some shit right now. Like, say it, say it, we really going through. We really, really, really, really Are fucked right now. $120 million. Like, where these kids are gonna go, like, I'm lucky, I'm lucky, I'm lucky, I'm blessed, I'm whatever the fuck. But like, what's going to happen to my nieces? What's going to happen to my nephews? What's going to happen to my cousins, my aunts, my friends? They're living in the hood.

Speaker 8:

Anyhow, she wasn't the only dunce there at the rally. Of course, the queen of all that is Kamala Harris, and here she is again being who she's always been in this race cringe.

Speaker 1:

We're four days out. Who here has already voted? Oh wow, oh my goodness, that's great, thank you.

Speaker 8:

All right. So so far. If you're getting value from this video, do us a favor, like, share and subscribe to our channel. If you want to support us further, go to the link in the description below. Grab yourself some merch or buy us a cup of coffee. Now the cringe is not over. Okay, I'm going to show you a couple more clips from Cardi B. I mean, if you're going to have someone come out, can they be prepared and ready and really represent the fact that she had to read off her cell phone?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, now see, that's. That's the part I want to talk about right there, Just for a second, just for a second. Let me, let me, let me bend your ear to me just for a second. Let us whisper. Let us whisper. Family, if I'm coming out to endorse my support for someone, that is something that is natural. You've said something to move me to support you. You've touched a concern that I have. So when I'm coming out there to let it be known why I'm behind you, I don't need a script for that. That's the genuinality of this thing. I don't need a script for that. I don't need a teleprompter for that. I'm telling you, I'm displaying what I feel inside. I don't need a teleprompter for that. I just wanted to whisper that in your ear. But see, most of the people that support this woman will skip right over that. They don't pay that. No mind. But back to it, family. Back to it, vaughn Black. Here let's go.

Speaker 8:

Means one, obviously the teleprompter was broken, but two, it just doesn't land, right. But I guess I might be being too critical, right, maybe I should dial it back. But here's what else Cardi B had to say.

Speaker 5:

Let's talk about health care. Did you hear what Donnie Trump said the other day? Y'all heard what he said. All right, I'm going to tell you right now. Let me get you, let me drink my water. Yeah, stay hydrated water. Yeah, stay hydrated. He said he's going to protect women, whether they like it or not. He said he's going to protect women, whether they like it or not. I'm repeating it, donnie Dunk please.

Speaker 3:

They said sure, I just think it's inappropriate for you to say pay these guys a lot of money, can you believe it? They said well, I'm going to do it. Whether the women like it or not, I'm going to protect them. I'm going to protect them from migrants coming in. I'm going to protect them from foreign countries that want to hit us with missiles and lots of other things.

Speaker 5:

People like Donald Trump don't believe women deserve rights, and when those rights are taken away, they are nowhere to be found. When a mother is going through postpartum, he's not there to hold her hand. When a child is in foster care or in a shelter because their mother is not mentally stable or financially stable to take care of them, they're not there. The people outside planet? Yeah, yeah, they're not there, they're all gone. Those people outside Planned Parenthood screaming at women's faces, they don't be there when women go through stuff yeah.

Speaker 8:

So I only have one question for people out there. Maybe you guys can answer this yourself. So is getting an abortion a right, or is that a choice? I didn't know murdering babies were a right. I'm just saying, I'm just saying it's just a question, no judgment. I'm just curious about it. And then number two clearly she's been eating up that Project 2025 propaganda. We know she probably watches MSNBC all day long. And that's the, I guess, strange thing about our country how people literally still believe what people say on the news, knowing that the news lies to them all the time. Clearly, joe Biden lied to you, cardi B. You think Kamala Harris isn't going to lie to you? I mean, clearly, joe Biden lied to you, cardi B. You think Kamala Harris isn't going to lie to you? I mean, oh yeah, that's right, she doesn't really think for herself. So anyways, especially when we're talking about politics. But there's one more clip.

Speaker 5:

Today is your wallet. Tomorrow he'll be conning you out of your healthcare rights, and that's a fact. I want you to hear that again. Today he's hustling you with the oh, buy my sneakers. Tomorrow is going to be your health care rights. He's going to take it away from you, he's going to snatch it. Donald Trump talks about how he has a concept of a plan, but America, the only concept of a plan he has is a plan to hustle you.

Speaker 8:

Yeah, that's right. He's going to take it from you. He's going to monitor your menstrual cycles. Yep, that's right. Guys, I mean, it's just pathetic.

Speaker 8:

It's really insanity that women are eating this up, and this isn't a misogynistic or gender thing. This is common sense. No government official has the ability to do anything that they're saying Trump is going to do. Why is it that we forget? We have three branches of government, even if they wanted to implement Project 2025 and Trump wanted to do everything they say that he wants to do, you honestly think he can do that without Congress approval, even if he issued the executive orders? You think people are going to really execute that? And even then, what's going to happen? The Supreme Court will step in and stop it. So it's just mind-boggling that people are eating this stuff up. But it's called propaganda, and that's exactly what her campaign and the Democratic Party have been very successful at doing over the past eight years. They have been programming the public to the point where, if they lose this election, those same individuals will have a mental health issue because they've been eating this stuff up.

Speaker 8:

Since he came down that golden escalator. That's just what it is. Everybody loved him, but then, when he ran for president. Now everybody hates him. It's so interesting, but anyways, yeah. Cardi B, that's just not a good look, embarrassment, hypocritical. She has zero credibility when it comes to politics. She's out of touch Talking about.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I want to touch on that. I want to touch on that. I want to touch on that myself. Family yeah, I don't like when the celebrities, the entertainers and the athletes get involved to the extent that they have been. Oh, there's nothing wrong with someone endorsing someone, um, but this is what the democrats rely on. They rely on the beyonces and and this one and the cardi b's and the lebron james. They rely on that. These people opinions don't matter to the common working person out here, they don't have the same problems.

Speaker 2:

They cannot relate um, at one point in their time in their lives they probably could, but as life for them now they can't relate to to you and I. You know we have dinner table discussions about the mortgage is due. That's twenty five hundred dollars, the mortgage. Then we have the car insurances and different bills, not counting utility bills. But the kids are back to school now and all you know you got three or four kids and they they foot to study growing, especially the boys, and you know you got to get them, them Jordans, now the top sneaker. You got to get them. So now we got decisions we got to make. Now these kids got to go back to school. They got to have something to wear. They got to have, uh, shelter over their heads, plus food is high gas. We got to get to work. You know mom and pop got to get to work and we got to fill these cars up for the week.

Speaker 2:

These are dinner table discussions that beyonce don't, jay-z don't have, lebron james doesn't talk to his wife about those kind of things. So what are you bringing these celebrities to see? That means you're out of touch with the common folk. You're out of touch. But they, you know, when you talk to people about that, they just somehow somehow skip right over that. They skip right over that. Um, I don't know, family, I don't know what. What's going to happen. Whatever happens, I'll be glad to move on because we have other concerns we have to get to up here. We have they just had the um conviction of one of the cops for brianna, the murder of brianna tay. We have to talk about that and these are the things that we want to discuss up here that matter to us.

Speaker 2:

Now we have to kind of move away from them things because of the election. We have to come up here and talk about the election. But I want to get back into those things. These things have immediate effect on us, right? We have the Daniel Penny case for him killing Jordan Neely. That trial has started. I think they're in the jury selection process here in New York City. We have to talk about these things. We have to talk about the Freedmen's Project, the different reparations committees that are being formed around the country. We have to. Our focus has to be on these things. But this is an election and, fair enough, we have to talk about it. But I'm I will be more than happy to turn the page on all the stuff. I don't, it doesn't matter who wins. Now I, I think that my personal opinion. I think that we can get more done as a community. As for our community, I think we can get more done via Donald Trump than we could. Kamala Harris she's already said, she is already said.

Speaker 1:

So I'm not going to sit here and say I'm going to do something that's only going to benefit black people. No, so I'm not going to sit here and say I'm gonna do something that's only gonna benefit black people no, so I'm not gonna sit here and say I'm gonna do something that's only gonna benefit black people. No, so I'm not gonna sit here and say I'm gonna do something that's only gonna benefit black people no, when somebody tells you who they are, you should believe them.

Speaker 2:

There is no wise cross for me. When. That was plain to me, that was plain. That's why I keep playing it, because these, these negroes, will jump right around that yeah, but it's always a yeah, but man, you can't take that serious. And she gonna do good for us and she goes that's the first, gonna be the first black female president, and yada, yada, yada. Yeah, okay, all right, let me know how that works out. But, like I said, we have to continue on what we're doing up here, no matter who wins or loses. If she wins, we only we got to keep, keep, keep our foot on the pedal. We got to keep our foot on the pedal.

Speaker 2:

It will be detrimental catastrophically, for if this woman wins for black people, american blacks, descendants of slaves, the freedmen, it will be detrimental to us. It will decimate. First of all, it's going to decimate the black vote, because so far they've let upwards of 18 million illegals in this country in the last three and a half years. Right, just that alone. Now it's it. We're 13% of the population. We're 13% of the population we don't even own. Put it this way we're 13% of the population and we're 40% of the homeless in this country. Do the math, family. Don't take my word for it. I'm telling you, go google it, hit your bing, bing, yahoo or whatever search engine you use and look this stuff up. We are registered as third. We are well not homeless in the United States and our homeownership is at the same percentage as it was in 2024. Right now, as I speak to you, we are at the same percentage rate of homeownership as we were in 1968. Family, tell me, tell me that there isn't a problem with us voting Democrat at the rate we have been voting. Tell me, y'all, show me that. Where's the problem at Where's the problem? The problem is you've been voting and not getting nothing for your vote.

Speaker 2:

The benign neglect Look that up. It was a memo from the 1973 nixon administration. It was a memo from, I think, mccarthy. Look that memo up. The benign neglect policy. I did a whole program on that. Don't take my word for it, family. Don't take my word for it. Go look it up, it's there.

Speaker 2:

But we know most of us ain't gonna do it. Well, I ain't got time to do that now. I'm just gonna go on and vote for kamala now because we gonna be all right, it's gonna. It's gonna get better. That's, that's where we at.

Speaker 2:

But I gotta tell you, these millennials and these gen z's, they ain't having it. They are not having it. And the further we get away from them civil rights, negroes and the most deft fashions the further we get away from them, the better off we're going to be. That's why I said at the top of the hour, we're moving into our power, we are leaning into our power through these kids, through these children. This is why I don't get down on the youth, like most of us. I ain't getting up here telling them to pull up their pants and all. I'm not doing that. I'm not coming up here shaming them. Hell, no, I ain't doing that. No, we need them.

Speaker 2:

I told you at the top of the hour the culture I come from, the street culture. We need them cats, we need them street cats. We don't need them doing all the the, the unnecessary stuff they're doing, but we need them, some street cats, because when we're, when the revolution goes down, guess who holds the revolution up? Them same street cats. You ain't looking at those, the mickey mouses in in the dnc party. You ain't looking at the moist mickey mouse or negroes at that bt summit to hold the revolution up? It's going to be the gangsters in the streets, the street dudes, them, street cats, them, gang bangers, them, hustlers. And the gangsters, that's who's going to hold up the revolution. So I'll never get up here and down them. I'll never get up here and bad mouth them. We need them because you leave it to these soft Negroes, man, they'll be hiding behind the women.

Speaker 2:

Remember Roland Martin? When them dudes in Chicago pressed him, he ran behind the women. No, first of all, don't touch me. First of all, first of all, don't touch me. Ran behind the sister, hit behind the sister. The dude wasn't even swinging on them or nothing. Dude was just telling him yo, man, what's happening with that energy you had when you was talking, talking that, talk, talking. Now that little pudgy negro ran behind the woman and hid behind her.

Speaker 2:

Y'all call security. See, those niggas ain't those negros ain't gonna hold up the revolution. They not gonna hold up. It's gonna be the street cats, them same ones y'all claim y'all so scared of they. Ain't scared of them, man. Those are our brothers, man. They doing what they doing. We not condoning criminal activity, but we always had an underground society. We always had an underground economy.

Speaker 2:

So don't sit here and be hypocritical, but back to it, family. Back to it. I don't want to get too crazy. Back to it, man. I'll be so glad when this thing is over with, because then we can start getting to our real problems and things that affect us, right? But I'm glad of this, though, like I said a little while ago, I'm glad of this, though, like I said a little while ago, I'm glad of this that now that all this has happened, all that's been said, we know where the line has been drawn in the sand and we've gotten these Negroes, these gatekeeping Negroes, to say their part and to claim theirs. And they have done just that. They let us know who they are and where they stand at now. They don't see it now.

Speaker 2:

Now, if I already told you, if, if kamala wins this, this, uh, kamala, let me say her name before some of these sassy, feminine, moist negroes getting mad, saying I'm doing, what do you call that thing? What do they call that Misogyny thing, or whatever. I'm not calling her name, right? So, kamala, if Kamala wins, that will be detrimental to black society in the sense of if we're 43% of the population, we're 13% of the population. We're for, we're, we're, uh, 13 percent of the population. So that means there's there's between 43 and 45 million of us foundationals, descendants of the freedmen, right?

Speaker 2:

If they let 20 million over here in the last three and a half years, give her another four years, or maybe even eight, but within another four that'll be another 20 million. By the time she's ready to leave office, in eight years, potentially you're talking about within a decade our political strength will be decimated, decimated. Right now, we are the base, black people are the base for the Democratic Party. Within a decade, that will be decimated, because this is the reason why they're doing it to circumvent the black vote. This is why they're letting them illegals, in here. They're letting them, on the low, participate in some of the elections. This has been the talk right. This has been the talk right. This has been the talk and this is the reason why they're doing this. It is to destabilize the black vote, it's to destabilize us.

Speaker 2:

But, like I said, family, we're leaning into our power If Trump wins. If Trump wins, I think we'll be able to get some things done into our power. If Trump wins, if Trump wins, I think we'd be able to get some things done. I think we'll be able to get some things done that will be beneficial to us in the future. Now, I'm not a supporter of his. I'm not even voting for him. I'm just telling you what the reality, what I see the reality as mean.

Speaker 2:

So we're going to get ready to get out of here. We've been up here here for a little bit. Those of you who are going out to vote today, good luck to you, be safe. There's going to be some craziness out here If these things go some kind of way. And we're going to get ready to get out of here. Family, we're going to get ready to get out of here and, in the words of my man, malik Respect life, love justice, cher, cherish freedom and treasure the peace. Vaughn Black, we're going to leave you with some mellowness. We're going to leave you with some mellowness, family guitar solo oh Bobby, don't take no mess.
