So today's episode, we're going to be exploring and just looking at the potential Policies that he has in place that really got a show come January 6 After that the bopee side dance In in in American term that would be Of this world is white American Of the US I'm sure you heard the American I had to hear it again 70% of this world It's just like how they make football the world series and it's only American football Actually, I really want to go to shooting range. Okay, because with these laws coming up you need to know how to shoot But I don't I'm against girls. I might just I might just carry This watch out black man in America. I know that's that's the struggle that we traumatized Yes, you're right. I am traumatized because the capital of the United States of America The best country in the world debatable Let's chill Hello Chaplin chilis, this is ladies Caesar your host. I'm with my co-host Coach LJ. What's good? What's popping today? Yeah? Well, we excited once again to come to what's good in the hood Special episode, yes, I'm we're gonna be bringing out these a lot more because we are very Very invested in what's happening politically, especially after the Donald Trump win With the election 2024. Yes, because it's it's impact everyone Definitely impact everyone whether you voted for him or not Yes, and it's about being aware and and learning what we could do to Navigate these Challenges or good times. Absolutely. So today's episode we're going to be exploring and just looking at the potential Policies that he has in place that really got us shook, you know when we came across them And I'm sure they got you shook to the federal gun laws that are check. There's a couple of changes that he wants to implement drug enforcement affirmative action in education And also his intention of pardoning the generous six Individuals who are part of the capital attack. So our goal So our goal really is to comprehensively understand these policies along with you and then discuss the strategies for community to adapt and respond effectively to these changes because by the look of things Whatever that is proposing it's gonna pass because guess what like he has a house is got the Senate And he has the house and he's got the judges in the Supreme Court So basically America is right in the palm of his hands He can do whatever he want and it can happen fast within the four years that he'll be in power Because nobody will be just reaching no one. No when he passes something The house will pass it through to Senate Senate will pass it through and he'll be signing it And it will be a done deal. So it is important for us to educate ourselves on these potential policy come January 6 Mm-hmm after that the porpoise I'll dance And In American term that will be something, you know shit is about to hit the fan. Okay, I do have a question for you Yeah, with the with the with the policies. What were you about to discuss today? do you think America is gonna bet going back to slavery in the in the general ever with these policies well I was what he trying to that I wouldn't I wouldn't take it that far I mean, but we we are going backwards in certain things that we have made roads in and So it looks a bit bleak especially for the marginalized community The minorities because these policies most of them are really geared towards them yet to protect us To protect us. Yeah, I'm saying so many party was to you know, but oh you mean Currently, yes currently they protecting us But what he's anticipating on doing is taking us out of protection and exposing us once again to the walls Right, but you know it's 70% of this world is white American So repent of sending a cent of this of the US I'm sure you heard the American. I had to hear it again 70% of this world It's just like how they make football the world series and it's only American football You know, America is the best country in the world Stay tuned for an episode talking about that We're gonna we're gonna take that and we're gonna break it down and see if America is really the best country in the world because that episode is coming up trust and believe So let's get started. Let's talk about understanding the proposed federal federal concealed carry What is so Trump's proposal aims to standardize Concealed carry law across all states. Mm-hmm allowing permit holders To carry firearms in nation Why you heard that and this raises concerns? Of course about the increased gun presence in communities Which were historically? Which historically strict gun control or had strict gun control measures. Mm-hmm. So let's not talk about that Yeah, yeah, let me make an example for okay. Consider a state like New Jersey Oh, yeah, we're right now you where we are right now where we are where we are you know stringent gun laws because New Jersey we have pretty good gun laws in place That's why the number of gun law. I mean the number of gun accidents or Mass shooting it's hardly if it is not so individuals from states from lenient laws could legally carry They are concealed weapons in New Jersey if this pass if this policy pass so even though New Jersey says it's a residence and I'm going to still be under the strict gun laws, but federally you can come in with your gun from an lenient state and Carry a concealed gun in New Jersey. So that's gonna expose New Jersey a stricter States To to to to more gun presence in the community. So let me more guns on the street That means more gun in the streets and that means more gun shootings. That means more mass shootings that that means Just more people carrying guns visibility that we can see and I just wanted to touch on some of the states that That are open to gun laws, okay, so We have Arizona and we have Texas and Wyoming Okay, these States say they are they Pimidless carry okay, so you can carry without even a permit. Okay, so this is Arizona Texas and Wyoming. You don't need a permit. They allow individuals to carry concealed firearms without a permit, okay? Okay, this means that individuals can openly open or Can openly all concealed carry without undergoing training background checks required in their states and total states and deep red states, of course Arizona Deep red state Texas and Wyoming though deep red Shell issue states. So states like Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio They are called shell issues meaning they require permits But generally issue them to any applicant who meets basic requirements basic is the key word such as a background check So they don't really go deep and see if the person mentally Fits to carry because most of these mass shootings Exactly they mentally just People so they still are given a right to carry ledge allegedly they claim to be gonna claim that they claim to be We don't know America is very lean. Yeah, we're meant to be ill So now I can do that petty petty Mental illness dane treatment or whatever now comes the strict permit requirements states like in New York, New Jersey New Jersey, of course in a noise I'm going to be Illinois, right? I just have a few Chicago, California California, okay So these have more restrictive concealed carry policies requiring applicants to show a Specific need for carrying a firearm. That's one pass an extensive background check underlying extensive Versus the basic so there's an extensive background check and sometimes a complete training course That's actually I really want to go to shooting range. Okay, because with these laws Coming up you need to know how to shoot But I don't I'm against that. I might just I might just carry I would not Kevin. I got God is my Let me know how to shoot. Yes. I got God. I'm saying it's really praying time for real. It's really praying time Definitely praying time. So what do we do about this? How do we now? comprehend this Consulate carry law That's coming into effect. See see here's a thing and we talked We mentioned about something on one of the episodes when we talk about abortion, you know, when they say they were pro-life You know, they're saying that you know what the state should handle it. It should the fellowship not get involved I think there's like when I said it to keep that same energy across the board, you know, why? When it comes to abortion the state handled it and not federal But when it comes to gun laws now and you want the federal to get involved because we know the state Well, we know we know who's funding But still still keep the same energy if you're saying the state should get it should be involved And I know I'm saying though because right is right wrong. Yeah, right is right wrong If you're going to say one thing then you gotta you got to do across the board If you say the state should handle this then the state also should handle this because the truth of the matter is there will be There will be cross-state impact, you know, exactly as much as they can keep that same energy They can they can say that it will remain within the states. They can say that yes But the challenge is the fact that yeah because of the the states one person can move from one state to the next And and and and and show that they allow to carry in this so even though we the people that live in that state can't carry Yeah, but people from the other state can carry and now they're bringing a threat to those citizens There'll be a huge in the presence of guns coming through. Yes. Yeah, and people who will claim that they're legally allowed to carry yeah, yeah, and I think that I think that's totally wrong I think that you know, you should keep it state the way it is because you are Now you are put in people that's in that state at risk with those individuals Absolutely. So public public safety is a big concern Yes, public safety is a big concern right now with the with these gun laws He wanted he wanted implement it's a big concern for those in Residence that live in a state that against gun these these are Strategies can we then as a community put in place in order to to minimize? Because there's gonna be a risk, you know, there's gonna be an effect and an impact because of of these Guns coming in now from the next lenient. I mean the black stricter a state You know, I'm talking for example a state like our hours New Jersey, which is strict And we have not been going through the challenges of guns, you know, they we're not saying people are not getting shots We're not saying there are no guns in the streets. They are but you know that when you carry If a cop stops you then you have to answer. Yeah, right and potentially go to go to jail But in in in less stricter states they carry that's why you find the shootings in your warm-ups Like you're going to a supermarket and you get shocked you you you you you you accidentally Do a u-turn in somebody's drive when you get shot, you know, you're jogging down your own neighborhood Or scared, you know, it's definitely happened to African-American because you feel they feel like oh we scared now, you know, they they feel threatened of us So in you know, we you know, it's hard to jog down your your neighborhood is hard to drive You know, because you know once be once they feel threatened, you know They feel like now they have the right to I think one bigger thing the biggest thing is that most people don't know These policies are coming into play because most people don't read. Yeah, you know, and So it's important that there's community education. Yes. Yes, and this is why we stress We talk about even before the election because everyone that was like pro Trump pro Trump I guarantee have to end the video that pro Trump didn't even know all the policies. I don't think Trump knew them himself Now he knew what he wanted to do he knew This is part of the 2025 25 which is like a Whatever a document, you know, so some of these things were embedded in them people felt intimidated to read But we have chapter between are you can take it? 2025 for me. Yeah, yeah, and then you'll at least get the the skeletons Yes, important things that you need to know it's like especially things that affect you such as these You have children you are affected if you live in United States whether in a stricter or a lenient state you are affected and you know hosting workshops and educating residents about these Consumed carry laws and focusing really on safety. That's why I'm like I'm going to a gunnery arrange Before the end of the say I'll be going and I'll post so that you see me Be careful around me, so and and you know the rights and the responsibility, but it's what you live in New Jersey Yeah, it's not you can't carry though, but at least I'll be able to protect myself But how you don't have a you won't have a gun because you can't carry at least I can take it from you taste you take it from That's called self-defense. Okay, and then another another strategy is advocacy We can work with community groups and local representatives even though elected Representatives of the people that we've elected to go represent us in the states in the house To actually voice concerns, you know in For what while these were laws are being passed. I know they will I know they were but the third part is that they that they now the minority Yes, so their voice might not be heard chances that they might not because Republicans know what they're doing. They know what they're going in there for they know what they're going in there for They know exactly what they can even seek state specific measures, you know to address unique safety needs The state's like if it you feel a blue state at least you know that your your your your public representatives can work on something to say Even the people that come in they must be a way to You know to protect the residents. Yes, it mustn't just be an open open. Yeah open door Yeah, and another one. I think it's collaboration with the law enforcement like if we work hand-in-hand with cops Point out people that you've seen with with open guns and that are using it Because you find some people with these guys They just want to use it on something and you find them shooting on Yeah, so communicate with the law enforcement see how they can help Give us some ways on how to protect ourselves. Yes, see because we're gun laws right and in the blue states And those strict states like New York, New Jersey, even Chicago, California California now they have Black on black crimes, you know where they it's like the drug dealers and Against one another. Yeah, but it's not really against the regular citizens those individuals that's not in that in this not in that In that arena. Yeah, you know, they don't go out to them They go out, you know, it's running against those individuals that's in that arena with that that you know Because it's like a competition thing like a territory thing. So it's sideways side. Yes. It's our west side So it's really mostly those against those that really you see gun laws And I mean guns and and and shooting against Yeah, you're saying that but also remember that we have a lot of people dying innocent people dying Because of stray bullets. Yeah, somebody else and then you you end the wrong place at the wrong time and then you get that bullets You know that it was not even meant for you. Yes, I have gun laws where if you you know There's really no no gun rounds, but I think because of America the way what it is You can't be like Singapore or China or Asia or whatever, you know, because even England England, you know, they're you know, they're cops carry What do they call it in English? I don't know, but in in in my Yes, they say I might don't keep here. Okay. You know, it's like those low things that I think it's one of them. I know what you're talking about, but yeah, but yeah, but they can't be like because we we are aggressive Yeah, very aggressive very aggressive. Let me bring to country, you know, like you said even with some of these countries that even the The cops don't even carry fight on like they have just a stick don't keep your soul. You know, don't have number two Analyzing the dead penalty for drug dealers. Mm-hmm. All right, so how Okay, there's this this changes of course to that So this is the problem is that the proposal is to impose a dead penalty on drug dealers In intended to deter. This is what they say is to deter drug trafficking but like over always Drug trafficking over yeah, I'm gonna we're gonna go through the drugs that are really affected But let's just just fuck drugs right now But it also of course this a raise which is a good thing the deterring of the drug Trafficking, you know or the overuse of drugs. Okay, because there is a huge problem. Yes. Yeah, but the challenge is this is going to then raise ethical Mm-hmm. Yeah legal. Yeah, and social justice issues Particularly concerning its impact on marginalized communities Because they don't want that, you know, even though they're trying to For drawback tracking it, but guess what also it just like when back in the days You used to get locked up and do 10 to 15 years just for one one blood one blood We one blood and you get in 10 years now, so imagine now now they realize that they've lose in because remember and We're gonna you we're gonna talk about it's gonna be one of our topics about the The prisons the private prisons in America. It's a huge yeah business. Yes, right So they realizing that because they've allowed a weed to be legal Yes, but they losing a lot of black black boys black men because the whole point was to Lock them up lock them up in can vote and make money. Yeah out of them, right and they can vote They lose their freedom. Yeah, they can't get jobs. Yeah, and then the crime continues to be Yes, because in the suppress them continue to store that they be in slavery But you know taking off the shackles or whatever but putting in the prison turned these terminologies Well, truth of the matter is historically The the the the strict gun laws have Disappropably, of course, we know affected the black imperfect exactly the minority communities leading them to higher incarceration rates in and and and and when we see when they when they saying with this proposed Policy they're going to implement the debt penalty It could really exacerbate This this problem, you know to er and erode the trust in the justice system already We don't trust the police. Yes. Oh really we we really scared of the police because they don't treat us equal with the other race So if the debt penalties put in a cop can and it's it's it's been done before where a cop plans The drugs. Yes, if they want you dead. They can just easily plant the drug And you get the debt penalty and why are we going back to the debt penalty? I don't know That I think that's true. That's very hard Punishment it's not 10 years 15 years you 20 years and the second thing about the debt penalty is that there's no second chance Yeah, and that way and that's the video here. It's over. He's saying, you know, they didn't they got a pain You you die. Boom just like that. You know, no consequences That but that's a sad thing because even though they say for truck drug pack traffic, but you know African-American they're gonna use they're gonna use they always a loophole They're gonna use that loophole to get an African Brown and black community Forgetting them for even we because that's a drug No, no weed is not no long. It's still a drug. No because remember weed is now a legal drug Yeah, but it's still a drug and now could you remember they still have illegal drugs that they people sell on the street? They still there people still saw wing in the street illegal drugs. You can't sell illegal drugs in the street Okay, let's look at the types of drugs because we're gonna go back and forth about these drugs. Yeah, so hard drugs synthetic drugs and traffic prescription drugs, so let's break that down Hard drugs. These are highly addictive substances like heroin meth cocaine and So these are mainly targeted in the strict gun laws I mean in drug laws as these are associated with high abuse high potential abuse and Societies or harm so those are the hard drugs and then we've got the synthetic drugs This is fentanyl and there's a huge fentanyl problem in America And other synthetic drug such as oil points. Oh boy. That's the way you want to get after. Yeah, these are boys Overdose in yeah, and these are due to leave their little nature because they are fatal fatal And are often central to these discussions given their roles of overdoses You know, there's a lot of overdose crisis that's happening in America, especially in the white community Yeah, cuz they don't want to really take those drugs. Yeah Because mainly these are these are painkillers, but you get really you you you can easily get get addicted to it Yes, really really strong another the third type of drugs is traffic prescription drugs So the misuse of prescription and we know many doctors are you know do this because they just want that money medication particularly opioids we were saying these are painkillers the very strong painkillers It also raises question of how these laws could classify and penalize offenses or doctors could get into trouble as well Which is a good thing even like with the weed? That could be a Christian drug as well. Yes. Yeah, so but even like with these legal Places that's how we at these at these places these shot FYI we've got a lot of We dispense a really yes, we dispense you in the United States United States and if you go to a state like New York that even have food trucks we trust we trust yeah, we trust Yeah, where you can just stop in the street. Yes, yes, exactly, but in here's the thing too But but even with some of these dispensers things like that Some of them are probably also some of their illegal we as well most likely You know people want did some they still want that good that because it's also maybe cheaper. It's yeah It's cheap bus all you know, and then you got the people in the street So it's still they it's still we out there That's in the street that you can get in trouble for that's all that they can still lock you up for yeah, but it is It's like not I don't think and I think if they want like you're for one bad or two bads But you know, but you still get locked up, but they could they could say you know we as well. Yep I'm just saying though, you know, you can't trust them. That's that's basically what I'm saying. You can't trust it. You can All right, moving on. So that's how effectively can we see how these this the struggle Can impact the dead penalty offenses. All right, that feels impact the black and brown community. Oh, yeah So ethical considerations. Let's look at that. I understanding how the moral arguments surrounding capsule punishment Including debates and on deterrence versus human rights Because we know that it's going to affect certain race So now we have to really consider the ethical considerations How do we then come to an understanding that this person really deserves to have to to to to to to Because the sad part is there's somebody when they pass this variance this watch out It's gonna be people out there. That's going to lose their life For an answer we or or probably one well, I think like when we talk about ethical considerations They're gonna look at the weight as well. Yeah, I know but you gotta remember. I don't trust it You know, I remember when they were locking people up in the 80s and 90s for one blunt. Come on Especially in strong these these states like Ohio Light plate all these different places black man in America No, that's the that's the struggle that we traumatized. Yes, you're right I am truck traumatized because we live this life for For years and years and years and it's like we're going back It's done a progressive for a way. It's like we're going back from policy the economic policy on fall But this is the well, I was talking about the social justice the social responsibility the social This is not really the hate has started. You look at social media They are doing crazy things crazy things the white supremacist Because now because they know they got they got they got right They got three ranges to do whatever because they know okay, you know what? I could say whatever I could do whatever and guess what? I could use a excuse and this and that or and And that's it. So this is why praying time is really great because it's like we go on as a black and brown community It's like we're going backwards, but also just not praying just doing the right thing Just don't be caught up in these things now. Don't be at the wrong place at the wrong time I mean sometimes you can't avoid that but Check who you hanging around with because if you're hanging around people who are carrying drugs Even if you don't carry yourself you could be implicating. Yeah, if you if and then you die for nothing Yes, you know, you know these these kids who are hanging around the block like They are some of their friends this drug exchange there whatever you could be implicated because when they come they don't gonna ask They're gonna take everybody and they know where you at they know where you stand your drugs remember They got cameras camp. You're not here. They got Satar cameras they got cam they know everything they know where you put your stuff at if they want you They want to come and get you they get coming get you know where your stuff is that even I get it There's also some countries that also have the death penalty with drugs as well a lot of countries a lot of countries Yes, and I ain't gonna tell you when before you get off the plane that you're spugging bringing drugs or you get the death plan But you got my members smugglers and everything I have I have zero Tolerance for that because they killing our kids. I get it and when you agree to be a mule a drug mule I know sometimes you do it because you're desperate for money whatever whatever, but that's the risk you take But when a place like America you can trust some of these policies because they just say they've done it for spongers Well, we know the underlying It's also could be for black friends to get with us as well, but unfortunately, this is the reality Yes, yeah, but the thing is you know if they say did somebody pack your bags and you say no You better understand that no could take you to jail because if they find something I mean you say yes. Did you pack your own bags and you say yes? If you say yes, know that if they find anything in your bags, that's the dead penalty. Yes. Yes, you're right It will help to a certain extent Yes, because they are countries that they know that there are no go areas They still try but they know they tell you over the black market and they will tell you these and I heard this podcast this girl who actually went to prison in one of these countries and Well who was a drug mule and one of their friends went to prison because they never came back because they will kill you They that that girl was told that you're gonna get double the pay than the usual countries when you when when you drug mule this yeah, but There's a high risk of your no return. Mm-hmm. Because if you get caught there is a dead penalty, so just Be aware of this and so that's what strategies because of course we know that Historically, this has affected minorities again, you know, and we sitting here as minorities talking to people to say Educate yourself know what's happening. So community dialogue is important. What are we doing right now? Talking about these things opening up for us. Yes. Yes, and while we're speaking about this put it in the comment section What's your thought around what your thoughts are so far? How are they gonna affect your communities as well because the more of us who talk about it? You know with even other podcasts black and brown and the more we talk because we all have the more people get away Being aware because I'm sharing my ideas. You should be yours. They share my dad's and also we have different Yeah, but also I wanted to say we have different platforms, so we target a certain demographic demographic We also our target is also people who are outside of America So when they do come to visit be aware that this is what's gonna happen Mm-hmm, you know be aware that this is a potential for you should somebody Put drugs in your in in in your luggage chances when these laws pass you will be arrested and you will die Yes, you go down and that's the sad part innocent people could lose their life because of the of the drug laws And this the thing that I'm against I'm not for it because innocent people The even those people that that that if you even those individuals that voted for did for it You could be one of those individuals that get caught out there And guess what you will report you sold. Yes moving on and you know, they're not leaning just a system in America They're not leaning so somebody it could be another race that might get caught that might Hashash You know So that's a different by American out of country like singing for and you know They got the dependency, but if you get caught you get caught everybody is getting it, but in America If you get caught it's certain people get caught it might be our shots Your skin color actually black and brown you get caught you definitely going you're going but if other Nationalities racist get caught it might be a slap on the wrist Back to the strategies come on, and that's what I'm talking about Come on, let's go. Okay, that's how we do in our We need to know because we mean around these we already spoken about community dialogue Which is what we having right now. Yes, yes legal support So it was established resources because most of the black and brown people the marginalized communities minorities They don't have the resources. They cannot afford attorneys. They cannot afford Lawyers, so maybe form support networks. Yes for individuals and communities Yes, who are at risk of being affected by these stricter penalties ensuring that there's going to be fair legal representation, you know because Lawyers come at a price and if you can't afford it you get the government one well You might as well just know that you yeah, you just know public So maybe you know maybe invest on in getting a legal legal aid or whatever of some form You know even if you're paying that fraction of amount if you know that you have children who could be affected or family members Let's do something about it. Mm-hmm lastly policy engagement because this is a policy So how can we partner now with advocacy groups because they can make some noise you know To promote these drug policies because people need to know that this is what's happening. Yes They can I think that we still in the lenient era no no no no So at the more people the more people that know at least the less People that could get incarcerated right So these policies can be centered around rehab Rehabilitation and public health approaches. So how can we change people's minds in that you carry drugs? Guess what you go to jail So you better stay away from these things So that's really gonna affect a lot of people is the changes to affirmative action in education when I say a lot I mean the minorities It's there to get the black and brown community is really So years come step, but I get it with some of the school We like changes to affirmative action. So maybe let's touch on what is affirmative action so that we don't have confusion around that right Affirmative action for those who really don't understand action refers to policies and practices that aim to increase Opportunities for historically marginalized and underrepresented groups in areas like education employment and government contracting which is Speciality so in the so this could potentially affect me because right now as a government contractor I'm able to get certain contracts because I'm a manure of minority So Trump wants to remove that and historically what has happened is the the the white people Were getting more contracts than black people because they have more resources Yes, so when these affirmative actions came in we were we were able to now get chances as well to try and level the playing field Mm-hmm. Right. So here now he's saying nope none of that He wants to pull that away and and put it back to where everybody is able to bid But the thing is if you don't have the resources It's hard to compete against people with Amma and and and and spirits not just that Just people that you know network. Yeah, you know, sometimes it could be so it could be money could be your spirits It could be somebody that you know, so these policies were called set aside Government contracts and because it's my speciality. So talk about that Set aside where they think if you're a black Minority black, you know black-owned woman-owned disabled veteran You know, you are able to bid and they definitely have contrasts certain contracts for those Set aside, okay, they could set aside Oh, no, and so you the high and government was forced to Put out a certain percentage of the bids for these sets of sides So now if they were peeling that and taking that away it means that small businesses Owned by these categories will not have a chance to win any bids nation Because it's a potential they want to eliminate affirmative action policies in educational institutions, okay? So part number one understanding polished policy shifts. So we have to evaluate how to The removal of affirmative action could alter admission practices. What does that mean that? colleges were Were required to have because you know, there's some colleges that are created for certain races. Yes, but the law was this Yes, you have to have yes, that's an amount of So that could impact the student demographic. Yes, so now we're going to have more colleges Universities that are going to be whites only because they're gonna We're going back to civil rights All right, secondly assessing institutional responses, okay, so we can have now how See how we can examine how colleges may adjust their criteria. Yeah, all right Whether they will adopt other diversity promoting measures because this will definitely allow them more leeway to say we don't allow People of this race Because now they are not forced to have a certain percentage Which stays you have to have minorities so that the colleges are more down you know what you know what just thinking about this too It probably even changed it even with um Even with the job fair job force everything everything even remember, you know, I guess we were not listening to definition of affirmative action It covers education. It covers job in any kind of government contracting. Okay. So now you don't have to have A percentage of no one if you want to hire all white people. Yeah, high or white absolutely. Okay, see that's they're taking away black jobs You remember what he said about black jobs This is one of the things that you know because he sees black jobs as low great jobs So these high paying jobs. They want to maintain it for white people and the low paying Keep it for black people Because the whole point is to keep us Suppressed. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, and this is sad. I mean it really is it really is sad And this is why we got to continue the education Self-education and continue to listen to platform like this so that we can improve on our stuff because we could we could still win regardless of all these Taskmasters You know it regardless of all these hard times just like the children and willingness, you know They still overcame even though they had taskmasters and they had a hard whatever, but they still overcame So the same thing find a way how you could overcome these ways because they like you said right now They're trying to bring it make it harder for us the black and brown community because most of these policies will affect the black and brown community They are towards us Yeah, it's Three already that we've mentioned it's towards us. Yes, the three that we mentioned is definitely towards Us because these things they put these they put them in place Ever since the civil rights movies these affirmative actions these different laws came into place to protect us They give us a finding chance because like I said, we was we were already behind the eight ball because of slavery And so because of civil rights they fought for these different laws and affirmative actions so that we have Definitely is going backwards. Yeah, we're going backwards because here's the problem with this one The removal of affirmative action in education. It could really significantly reduce diversity in colleges and universities They don't want us to be educated. Yeah, right. They would rather keep us Knowledgeless. Yes. Right. So at the same at the these warehouse jobs At these sharecropping just nothing deport them so that we are forced to have these jobs exactly So limiting access for students as well Um from historically managed marginalized communities So there's gonna be They because now they they open to do whatever so they're gonna limit us from being for from entering these colleges and universities Affirmative action. We know has really helped create inclusiveness It has You know without doubts allowing students from various backgrounds to access opportunities Educational opportunities, but even job opportunities That were previously out of our reach, right? So without this The concern is really big in representation of our of these groups of people like ourselves And and because there's gonna be a higher decline in education Being able to be educated And also this is gonna definitely impact social Mobility and broader community diversity So we're gonna have more white people college to be college educated and less minority To be educated in college right now as black and brown people. We are pushing in these colleges. Yeah, we push it Oh, yeah, we have very big numbers America if i'm not mistaken Black woman. They are the one of the most educated. Yeah, we are pushing we are very educated because they told us get educated So now we're getting educated and now they see that we are getting out there in the numbers So quickly, what are the strategies that we can help to To to to to to to to to to for this out alternative support groups. Yes support group support groups support groups. I cannot Infrastructure economics grew economics opponent resources together among black and brown communities You know, we got it. We got to stop the crap in the battle It's running for to stop the crap in the battle because you know, we are ready. We so this Just a scene on mv against one another You know what the only way we could come up and and do better and be better is to grew economics and for those individuals That I know that talking about grew economic red black people, but you you for these different policies I'm shame on you Shame on you. Shame on you because you talk a good one with grew economics But you also is you know, or maybe you didn't understand the policy, you know, maybe I don't know You know awareness campaigns is another one. Yeah, educate the public on the benefits of diversity in education Emphasizing how these very perspectives and reach the learning environment and benefit society because the less Or we see of the other Races then we'll think it's not for us. Yes, you know when we are we are able to do the job the same or even better You know, but now if we're not given the the opportunity to to go for these college college admissions to go for the jobs then You're gonna see less and less people getting and getting into the talk They probably you know with their family action also with the student loans and the grants as well They probably take it out of course, you know, so that makes them harder for us to go to school Because they right now we you know, that's the only way we able to go to school is do the federal funding and it's Only way, but it's one of the ways to do the financial aid and do the um these loans Or whatever the go to school because college is expensive So if you if you take that away, it's gonna be far hard for us to go to school because we don't have the funding ready to To do it. So we also too You know if you have small children start early to prepare to to save for your child education That's it. Yeah, that's it. Yes. Stop buying your you know, you know, okay, you could You go buy a joint because he's African-Americans not an investor you can support but you know what? but Majority of your funds do the 80/20 rule majority of funds should be in and investing in yourself Investing your child education, investing in your education and then whatever you if you had left, you know, then you could you could splurge It could be for your leisure. Okay, let's quickly move on First thing hold on the 80/20. I got to say this right because I said they invested yourself first to invest in god Give your toss give your offering next invest in yourself Invest in your children's education and then lastly and lastly, I mean lastly then the leisure come in Once you have so lastly, we're going to talk about us the impact of Trump of course pardoning the January 6th participants wish you was involved Now that you know he was involved in it Let you know he was involved. Sorry for the message. They were good very good people On both sides very good people. How can people trying to trust the capital and what was it passed away? Yeah, because of that. That's a sad part. Yeah, that's a sad part So here's the problem. Trump's intention to pardon those convicted of their roles in the January 6th Capital attack raises concerns about accountability and the rule of law and the president it sets In the future for future actions because people will like oh well if you can trust the capital I can trust anywhere and get away. Yeah, and this got me thinking I don't want to really say because I don't want to put it up there in the universe and get more ideas But if we ponder them who else he will pardon? A lot of crimes Like I said, we're gonna be seeing a movie in the next four years. It's gonna a lot of we're gonna have a lot of moments What moments? Yeah Mg moments. So so this one happened in January 6th just to summarize What what way the story is? Around 1 p.m. As Trump is wrapping up his remarks in the park, the day turned violent A group of his supporters on the western side of the capital confront the handful of police guarding the barriers and force their way through Moments after mr. Trump finished his more than hour-long speech Thousands of protesters streamed from that rally site directly to the u.s. Capitol grounds Several people told us that day they expected vice president pence to overturn the 2020 election results What needs to happen today is vice president pence needs to not open the seven state electors envelopes for the states that I mentioned Set them aside and send it all back to those state legislatures We're gonna stop this still from happening because um if we don't nobody's ever gonna vote again There's got not gonna be any integrity in our voting systems As the crowd grows clashes between trump supporters and capital police officers clearly outnumber intensified We're not gonna take it anymore. This is our country Outside the capitol's west front became a battleground Inside the joint session of congress to certify election results was underway The traditionally ceremonial process is upended by the general six attack was a significant event in american history Which led to numerous arrests and convictions of the people who we know Gate went in there forcefully and trashed the capitol The capital of the united states of america the best country in the world debatable So pardoning those involved could be perceived as undermining the traditional Process because they were convicted and they were arrested And may influence on how similar actions Are viewed in the future because people will be like, okay, if they can be pardoned Doing the because it was a serious serious federal crime Then I guess we can get away with in so here's uh ways to strategize, you know in in in in in looking at this the strategies, right public discourse So let's engage in open conversations like we are doing right now about the implications Of such pardons in a democratic country And the justice that's involved in that. Yes. Is it fair for people who broke the law? openly openly You know because these people are posting on social media. They were not even sorry about it And this is why people don't trust the law now Because our policy is like this. Yeah, this is why people like you can be really trust Politics can we really trust the law because if you could come in and do things like that like, okay, then Why can I trust the law? Yeah, the way education secondly. All right, um, let's develop programs that will emphasize Uh the importance of accountability Because people can just not get away with just anything, you know Uh in upholding democratic institutions or else we will be an autocratic country Yes, well, you can just get away with anything you can try and do what do they call it when you um Because that's what they were planning on doing dictatorship Yeah That's autocratic. Yeah, okay when you're trying to um forcefully remove the sitting president because that's what they were trying to do a coup Okay. Okay. Okay. So that can if if if people who are trying to do a coup Gets uh get get get free reign then guess what america embrace yourself. You're going to be the next africa Yeah, never ever yet Because in africa of course most of these coupes happen in africa. Yeah, africa. Yeah, you know because uh people Uh, uh, uh, uh, they don't They're not held accountable for their actions. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, and that's what could happen though That's that because there's no accountability. Yeah, no accountability. When is there no accountability then people are i got taken to my own Yeah, and so that's that's what's so what can you see in a place like america where? You know when you say in manager, you can carry guns or whatever So then like i got to take it in my own So then what can we do in in terms of advocacy? Advocacy work collaborated policymakers again, let's keep let's make the Give them a what to do. We we voted them in right raise our voices concerns Meetings And advocate for measures to actually reinforce the rule of law You know and ensuring that individuals who participates in these actions and Excuse me undermine the democratic institutions face appropriate consequences. Yes, listen They did face their proper consequences. Yes, but unfortunately the the the the the the the the incoming president is saying well Well, you know what i'm a part of Yeah, because i was a part of them Of course it's not saying that like i because i was but we know he was allegedly yes Yeah, it's not even a legend. He was and um Now he's like saying you know what i put in that position i'm going to make sure that i take you out of it Yes, so it's his way of pleasing his face again. Yes. Yes, it that's what it's going to be about So, you know, it's and it's a sad thing, but yeah, you know, even for those individuals We say we encourage you to keep keep going to the meanings even when you feel like oh man, they don't Uh, um Is no isn't i don't know why i'm going to the meeting and i don't they're not hearing me But you know what you keep showing up you keep showing your face You keep listening seeing what you can do and then you network you build that relationship and you go to these meetings So that you hate to protect yourself. Yeah community meetings. You just keep saying these meetings These community meetings these these meetings doesn't that's in in your city that that's in city hall Go to keep going to these meetings that they be having with the maggies and all these senators Keep going to the meetings so that you know what's going on in your city and your state so that you know if enough people Vote inside this court. Why don't they come in they still have these votes and they can still go Opposed it like nay. I don't want to end my sitting, you know, we can we can stop it. It's about Going to the meeting so that our voice can be heard because if enough of us go to the meeting is it will not come to your city So as we conclude And as we anticipate potential these potential policy shifts that we've already spoken very much about It's essential for communities to stay informed and this is one of the ways that we keeping you informed Yes the department engage in proactive dialogue and develop strategies that will uphold safety Justice and inclusivity because like we said most minorities are going to be in danger And we know that the generics is to favor the white supremacy So by working together, we can navigate these changes And continue to advocate for policies that reflect our shared values and commitment to equality And commitment to even equity because america if we don't wake up, especially the minorities We are waiting to be in trouble because of many of the policies in the 2025 Project 2025 Is really targeted at at us It's really targeted at us even though they're gonna they're not gonna say us They're gonna they're gonna generalize it, but we know you deep down the side It's really targeting us. They're not gonna say us because they you know, I make it seem like it's racist But we know it's us. So I think you know Let us pray real quick We are the time. I know you don't have to pray man. It means I need to pee. We don't have to pray Sure, sure. Yeah You don't know what a sure prayer is. I'm referring Let us pray Let us pray father in the name of Jesus Christ, what we just thank you right now about a palm on the thighs to the Holy Ghost We thank you for These policies that are set for we think that you will let you will be done in these countries We thank you for protecting your people protecting the black and brown community Lord, we thank you father god that we're not going back father god to where we came out of But we had to continue to progress forward and lord Thank you father god for charge the angels and and captain angels around us and keep us and cover us under the blood of Jesus Christ Keeping this world in this country under the blood of Jesus Christ keeping the president under the blood and you direct them and you Let you will be done in his life and Jesus name. Amen. Amen. See you next time. See you next time
