What's up. Family, It's your girl to Mika d. Mallory and your boy my son.
In general, we are.
Your hosts of street politicians, the place with the streets and politics. Me's going on my song Lenin.
Today's a slow day. Trying to speed up, but I'm here.
It's slow day for me. Let me tell you something. The other day I had a colonic, which is not a colonoscopy. Colonoscopy is when they go inside and look to see if they are polyps and cancer or so sitting anywhere. But a colonoscopy is when they go inside and it's basically like a a more advanced enema where they are cleaning your system out. And the one thing I could say is that, first of all, it definitely makes you feel lighter, like you know, you feel better.
And the second thing is that I do not feel as tired the last two days since I had it, I am much like feeling much better. I'm not as sluggish as I had been. I sat yesterday. See, you know, no more braids. I'm back in my my tresses, back in my inches, got my weaves back, and it takes time to start from scratch from braids for six months. I did braids for six months and now I'm back to my hair, and that takes time to transition, taking
the braids out, doing the whole thing. I got up at six thirty in the morning, I worked out, I took my hair out, I worked out, I cleaned up my house, I left the house, I went, I got my hair done. I spent the full day in the salon, from twelve to after seven. I never said I was tired one time. Never, and not to say that I don't want certain junk food. But I don't have the same craving. So yes, it is uncomfortable people, it's uncle. Absolutely,
it's uncomfort, is extremely uncomfortable. But what I will say is that it's worth it, and I do. They put a tube inside of you and then they flush you with water, and this particular place also uses coffee because if you think about it, when you drink coffee, it makes you want to use the bathroom most times, so
that is a part of their treatment. They flush you with water, and they also at the end, the last part is they pump you with coffee and they keep on flushing you out and in some places they just sit you, you know, shout out to our sister Kepra, because she between Kepra and our other sister who send the cross, they were the folks who suggested it for me. And you know, in some places you just sit by yourself. You know, they'll come over and ask you if you okay,
and you just sit. But in this particular place, Linda Sarcer and I went together. In this particular place, they rub your stomach and they helped to like really move around anything that's inside of you, sitting in your in testing this and that, and they move it and your colon basically to get it cleared out and so in it. And they keep filling you up and filling you up until whatever's coming out is clear. So that it's very intrusive,
it's very uncomfortable, but I believe it's very necessary. Like I see, I am telling you, there are results my stomach. I actually lost two pounds. In fact, I kind of look, I think I lost three pounds. But then the last time I weighed myself, which they tell you not to do, was right after I ate something, so that's never you're not supposed to do that. But today I didn't really eat, and I'm bad. I'm down three pounds, so it's I
feel it. I feel something lighter and everything. So anyway, the point I'm making here is take care of your body. Like for people who are listening, take care of your body. Make sure that you are doing things like not just the colonic but other things like a colonoscopy, like the breast exams, all of that stuff. Take care of your body because I can tell the difference since I have started to really take care of myself a little bit more.
And the last thing I'll say is I still want the junk and the still the all the things, but I don't have the same craving like I don't. I don't feel like I need to eat as much as I felt. I think that stuff that sits in your system kind of just kind of tells your mind feed me more, feed me more, feed me more. So clean out and just do something different. That's all I can say.
That's good. I went.
I just got you know, I do my annual and I've been really a lot intentional about working out lately. So like the last week, I just been working on every day. So I find, like what you said, I found myself. Once you get into good habits, especially like physically, and you know, start eating, and I've been eating a lot of vegetables. I don't I'm one of them people that don't have any problem going to the bathroom after I eat every meal. My body is like, okay, go
to the bathroom. So, you know, but I might look into this.
I don't really want I don't have a problem going to the bathroom either.
I never have a problem that a lot of people do a lot.
There's a lot of people that you know, they don't they don't use the bathroom a lot. You know what I'm saying, They constipated or they you know, I feel like I use the bathroom a lot, you know, but I might look at I don't really want nothing to side on my butt though.
You know, here's the thing intrusive you just said.
It's very intrusive to.
Be clear me either, you know, like that is not my area of comfort and joy. So I'm not one of those people that I don't want that either. But I will say I know for a fact that if all that waste is coming out of you, it can't be good for it to sit inside of your system from time to time to time. And even though we're using the bathroom. We're just getting the surface out. We're
not really like cleaning out the whole colon. And so I don't know, you know, I'm sure this is not colon awareness, mom, but it should be health awareness every day. And I'm just you know, sharing a very intimate thing that I did and just telling folks that you know, it's it. We get we you know, all of us, not all of us, but many of us have been under the knife for this or that, different things, different surgeries,
different you're trying to enhance yourself. You might be taking some kind of pills, you working out, you're doing all of that, and you should. And some people, a lot of people are trying to eat better. You see it. You see obviously all of these different vegan spots popping up and people drinking more smoothie. So people are becoming more conscious. And I'm just offering that another part of that is to clean your colon and get your system cleared out as much as you can.
So a lot of people that's full of shit, You're gonna get cleaned out.
And we should make sure sure that we laugh our way to go take care of ourselves. That's it happened. It is very uncomfortable though I'm not gonna lie. It ain't something you're gonna want to do.
What you're not gonna want to go back? You know what?
You feel that way while it's happening, but you realize, wow, all of this stuff is sitting inside of me. I need to go back. And people have different schedules. Some people go often, other people don't go that often. They might do twice a year, maybe even once a year. But I'm I'm going to be not regular, probably like semi regular, but I'm definitely gonna get it done every quarter,
absolutely absolutely. I mean, well, well, actually in the beginning they tell you the first three times you need to make them close together. So I have to go with three week intervals, which is horrible because I don't want to do it. But then after the three week intervals, then some people do it a week, two weeks or whatever. But I chose three week intervals. That well, you have to ask Linda because I don't want to be telling her business and you.
Know, I'm just going to do what is it painful? Did? She says? She?
Well, she went before me, so when she went in the room same day before me and took care of hers. So when she came out, her thing to me was, it's very uncomfortable because at first she was texting me from the table, like telling me different things. Because they we did a lymphatic massage as well, which means that they rubbed the top of your skin and kind of push all the stuff into your lymphos, which they help you get out. You have to go to the bathroom.
You urinate the whole thing. By the way, when doing the kolonic, they also have pressure points in your skin. It's places in your arm and your hands that as they were pushing it. This may be t and I, but you know, we are an educational place platform where we learn together and educate. As they were like pushing and touching certain points on my arms and my hands,
you could hear more drainage. So they know exactly where the points are within your body that when they touch them it stimulates you to actually move out the waste and be clear it is waste. So she was first texting me and then all of a sudden, I'm telling her stuff and she's not texting back. And I thought maybe because I was texting about work that she stopped, but it wasn't that it's that after a while it becomes uncomfortable and you got to focus on getting through,
you know. So I'm not gonna say it's painful, but it's uncomfortable. So speaking of being light and painful and all of those things, our campaign in Kentucky, including our office opening, happened this week. We are, you know, in the middle of a fight. And as you know, Daniel Caeron is someone who has raised a significant amount of money from people who support his rhetoric, which includes things
like giving the death penalty to drug dealers. It includes things like getting rid of the Civilian Complaint Review Board so that people have no recourse to fight when there are issues of injustice that have been committed by a police officer. He wants to give cops more discretion and more power to do surveillance. I mean, he is a
police guy. And now that we have really launched the next seven weeks about seven weeks of our efforts to fight him, we just want to make sure that the people of Kentucky are armed and prepared to go to the polls even if they make a decision that we don't agree with. We want them to go to the polls and when I say that some of the work that we have participated in his nonpartisan getting out there, registering voters, trying to make sure we get people to
the polls. That is done in a nonpartisan fashion, which ultimately means that we are getting people registered and not telling them anything about who they need to vote for. But we also have many other things going on where people are really clear about what we stand for. So we believe in people being registered to vote and having that power in their hands regardless. But in addition to that, we want people to know that until freedom is unapologetically
against Daniel Cameron, are we the biggest governor basher folks? No, I can't say that, because there are issues even with Bashir that the local community can talk about. We should actually have some of the local leaders to come on this show. But I will say we restored the voting rights of one hundred and seventy thousand, one hundred and seventy thousand people who had felony convictions or other convictions that prevented them from voting in the state of Kentucky.
And so that's just you know, people will say, well, that's one thing, shirt Certainly there's much more to debate. Some issues we agree with them on some we don't.
But those hundred and seventy thousand people that have access to go to the ballot box to fight for their rights and to stand up for what they believe in, I think that is very, really important, and it truly is an important space for us because we want to make sure that those individuals know that the same behavior that got you locked up, you know, whether it be that someone didn't consider your story and your life and provide you with the resources you need, that that same
behavior is what Daniel Cameron intends to inflict upon Kentucky Dame.
Yeah, Daniel Cameron is a piece of shit. You know, he's He's just not a good guy, you know what I'm saying. When when you when you look at just based off what you said some of the things, but just what he did to Breonna Taylor and her family, to me, was it just it was it was the icing on the cake. It just shows that you're not
a good moral character. You know, you intentionally deprived those people with justice, You lie to those people, you and you intentionally inflicted more harm to a mother who had lost her child at the hands of the police.
You know, so I don't.
I just the unmitigated golf for you to think that you should be the governor of you know, Kentucky. It's just crazy to me. You know, miss McConnell. Who's his guy. He's not even in the right mental state. He can't you know what I'm saying. So he's he's co signing him. He's being co signed by a lot of people that I don't even know how they eat and got into office. But we're dealing with a lot of shit, man, were dealing with a lot of shit and old skin folks and kim folk.
I know.
A lot of time you look and I'm one of those people who will definitely want to see you know, brothers and sisters, you know, elevating in government. But this guy right here, he's just not a good guy. We're gonna do whatever we have to do to me about that.
This morning, Yes, I got cussed out.
You know, I'm I'm gonna go organize, you know the demographic that I know that I feel to listen to my voice because Amiga told me that I ain't doing shit and basically I need to get on my job. And I heard him a loud clear, so Yep, we come to Kentucky. All of my bros. You know we're coming, and we need I'm gonna need y'all help.
Man.
Y'all got guys, the guy for.
The guys, Free the guys.
I'm gonna need y'all man a lot of Like she said, over one hundred and seventy thousand people got their voting rights restored, and for a reason, you know, I'm being a formally colstrated individual and understanding and.
Not taking that privileged lightly. You know.
I try to make sure that I vote in the re election. I find candidates and people who are more aligned to what I want to see in my community and government. You know, all the time, it's not the greatest, it's not the best people, but I definitely find those people are on issues and things that I think the community needs, you know, And and that's how I make a decision. I don't think for me at this point in my life, not voting is not really an option, you know, because whether or not I vote or not,
somebody's gonna run this country. Somebody's going to run our community. Somebody's going to be in office. And if if I don't take the time and do the research and do my due diligence to find someone and something in each
candidate or something that I don't like. You know, sometimes it's a candidate that has just like you know, why the hell would we vote for somebody that says give the death penalty to drug dealers when when you got big farm out here selling all the drugs and they making billions, but you're gonna you're gonna kill some little Joey on the corner that's selling some drugs because he doesn't have any other way to make money, or doesn't know that he has another way to make money.
He doesn't know that's important.
He doesn't know, you know, he hasn't been given opportunities and feels like this is the quick way for him to make some money. Why would I want to see that man killed?
And to be clear, we're not saying that he's.
Right, you know, we're not saying he's right, but we understand that there should be punishment if you get caught doing a problem. Yeah, you know, but there's really a drug dealer can be rehabilitated, you know what I'm saying. So us just the men thought of that someone who didn't take a like who didn't physically take anyone's life is being.
Killed.
It's it just doesn't even make sense in the mind, the mind that thinks that it is even worse.
So no, Daniel came in for me.
It's a no for many people because as we've been out walking and talking to folks, they're like, oh the registered people are like, oh, no, we intend to vote, don't No, They're like, oh, no, no, for sure. So I remember one time I met a well you remember Grandpa that used to be in the square. He used to be arrested with us, and when he was out there fighting every day, and I never forget he pulled
me over one day. Brought tears to my eyes. This is a man who was older, who didn't even have all of his dent, his teeth in his mouth, like he was really somebody you could tell had a hard, hard time, a lot of things going on, coming from a real stressful situation. But he was out there for Brionna every single day, and I never forget. We were in March. One day he walked over to me and he didn't want to talk, he didn't want everybody to hear it, but he said to me, Hey, when do
we get to vote for Daniel Cameron. He said, because I didn't want to vote in when Daniel Cameron runs. He said, I didn't know anything about him. I never I don't even know how, you know, he didn't even know when the election was that the man got elected. He didn't know because people weren't involved. But I tell you what I said this about to me, kapalma, to me, kapalma. Brianna Taylor's mother was the other day and I said, Brianna, it's a tragic story. It's a huge tragedy. But she
definitely did a lot for her community. She did more than people who are alive walking the streets every day. This woman brought people together. She bought national groups into Kentucky. And remember when she tweeted, Lord take me to a place that I can't even imagine. She said, I'm gonna be a star. I'm gonna be somebody. I'm gonna make a way for my family. And this is this was in her own tweets. She was talking about her future.
And even though she's not here to be a part of it, she has set the stage and put a burning fire under all of us and brought people together, made us friends with LANDA just brought our relationships closer and got the people of Kentucky who are unaware of their political state. They didn't know what was going on. And now those people are actual leaders, some of them working. Look at too, K two k is working on anti violence.
He used to be a trouble kid who was in Indiana getting in and out of trouble, going in and out of jail. And now he is a leader on the ground in Kentucky. And that's what we're talking about. Kata is now an elected office. She was working for the ACLU, but now she's an actual elected official.
I mean, come on, listen, man, God will do it, Man, God will do it.
I gotta die. I want to die like that.
Yeah.
You know, unfortunately when we all unfortunately, we're all going to leave this earth. But the impact what doesn't leave is the impact that you have while you're here.
So Pliza has been talking a lot, and you know, I saw some people in the comment section being like, oh, Plaz continue to rap. I'm like, you must not have been paying attention to him, or maybe it's because he's saying something you don't agree with. Because he has been speaking up on political issues for a long time. But he I think he got frustrated because or you know, maybe I don't know if frustrated is the right word.
I don't want to mischaracterize his feelings, but I would say some frustration because after the event at the Vice President's house, which I attended with so all of my friends in the blazing heat, and we had a great time together. There was a many of people there, some friends, some folks, but there were people there that I know very well and they are and every you know, it was just it was it was like a space that was full of both political and activists. People who do
organize and work around the nation got together. Of course, entertainers and others, but you know, we had our own little hoard. And people were saying that she danced, you know, she didn't dance, like like, oh, this is like the first time she's ever heard this song, and look at how she's dancing, and you know, and they were basically getting on her because I guess she wasn't dancing black enough, and you know, people were kind of talking down on her.
And he was like, I'm trying to understand. Kamala Harris and Vice President they were trying. He was kind of like, I'm trying to understand that. One thing he did say in his statement was that he didn't understand what the problem was, Like why like like he said, no, no, he said, he didn't say themson. He did say that. But the thing he said that I was trying to call attention to was that, you know, forget about what she did in the past, like what is she doing
wrong right now? And I would say that I get why some people would say you can't just go based upon now. You do have to go back and look at her history and then bring it to four to four, Like so what is happening to day that is different? And I and I can say that I definitely feel this administration could be doing a whole lot more to address the issues. But one of the things that he raised was a lot of the problem that people have with Joe Biden. And I watched it on CNN yesterday
in the morning. I was taking my braids out. I was listening to Andrew Yang and another group of pundits on the show talking about how Kamala can run the country and Kamala this, and Kamala is that and the third and I agree with Pliaze. First of all, I made a comment in his thing that said perhaps people
felt she should have been scrubbing the ground. Like, I don't even understand why we're getting into how the lady dances, because I know a lot of black people who are super black that can't dance, that can't stay on tune, that can't clap on the beat. I know a lot of people like that. That's not been her focus, you
know what I'm saying. And I don't know why our qualifier for any black person is whether or not they dance black enough, or whether or not they've heard all of these different songs, because some people just have not had the same experiences. In fact, if you really want to keep it a buck, it's a lot of our own people that have children, people our age that have children that don't even be around black people. They go
to school with other people. They don't dance, you know, they don't listen to freaking bootyhole Brown, and they would die if their children had access to that type of stuff. Right, So Kamala Harris has a different experience, but she still went to a black school. So the lady clearly has been around black people because she went to a black school, so I don't get that. I do understand challenge in her politics. Cool all for it. Sometimes I challenge it,
sometimes I support it. It depends on where we stand. But I'm not sure how to qualify it because how she danced. But more over, listening to the pundits on TV, the one thing I picked up and I'm not saying Andrew Yang said this, but he was a part of the panel. So if people want to go back and listen to it, you can look up when Andrew Yang was on TV on CNN. But as a part of that the pundit tree that I heard, they don't want a woman period. Hillary Clinton was the most qualified woman.
I don't and I'm not even a Hillary Clinton person. Me and my mentor a Cora Passes Berry get into it all the time over Hillary, to the point where Hillary is off the table. Came to talk about Hillary no more like me and you talking about the vaccine. Can't talk, can't just can't. We gotta leave it because sometimes I do. I am not a Hillary Clinton person, but I know she was more qualified than Donald Trump
to run this country. I know that, And now looking at Kamala it just seems like they don't want a woman, and they damn sure don't want a black woman to be president. I don't know if Joe, if Joe Biden, don't be mad.
At me because because that when when when you know, when the whole election was. I'm like, I want to give a black woman a chance.
We don't.
I don't watch white men run this this country into the ground for a bunch of years. We finally got an opportunity to give a black woman an opportunity I'm gonna get.
I'm a vote for her every time.
If it's her and another white man, I'm always gonna both for it just ain't gonna work. It's just not for me. It's just I'm gonna give her opportunity. You want to bring up her history, I can dig into every one of these white men's history and show you some ship that they did that wasn't for us, that we didn't like, you.
Know what I'm saying. And it's just the reality a lot of us.
We we we we have to stop being pigeonholed by by you know, by small shit, not really small ship, by history.
Now we can't do like we can't.
We have to acknowledge history, right, we gotta acknowledge things, but we gotta understand that sometimes people evolved.
Sometimes your thought pattern changes. If we if we if we're.
Holding everyone to the things they did, they passed, and I'm just not nobody you know what I'm saying, because I know I've done shit in my past that people will be like, that's fucked up.
You know what I'm saying. I've been so at the end of the.
Day and in our recent past, in your recent past, and you still don't want to be held to that because you might.
Have learned exactly.
You just want to continue to grow and evolve, and people give you opportunity based on who you are now and and see those things. So when I look at Kama Up, you know, I see as a black woman, Yeah she was in you know, she was a prosecutor, and nobody.
Likes to prosecutor. Prosecutor and judges.
They did not ever get the best, you know, especially when you come from our communities, Like that's just the cops, the prosecutors, all of those people is the people that we don't want to talk about. We don't uphold the system exactly, the uphold the system, but at the end of the day when when we was being taught how to get jobs and all that, those were the prevalent jobs that we wanted to be lawyers, we wanted to be in jail, we wanted to you know, we want
to do those things. And being a cop in our community was actually one of the easiest jobs to get if you just had a high school diploma, you know what, so and you didn't have no no felonies and that. So a lot of people it's like, yo, I can get a bunch of money, get a good job, paying job, and they did it, you know what. I'm saying that that's why you have some corrupt cops some good cops, because some of them were still in the street life and they utilized the badge to carry out a lot
of different ship. But I'm just saying that to say that Kamala Harris deserves the opportunity to do what she does, I don't see do it.
I mean, right now, she is the vice president and therefore, and you know, I don't you know, you ain't gonna see bus so much because she's the vice president.
I don't think that I've ever seen but so much that anybody, no, I mean, like I really don't want to when we talk about vice presidency, I can't even who call moves to the vice presidents, right, you know, But.
The vice president does not run the country. The vice assists the president in whatever it is that he is doing. Now, I get it, people want want to be like us, and we realize everybody like us running that motherfucker rip it down, like tear it up. And people have the right to feel that way. Understanding, we as black people are dealing with so much hell that we need people that do take over, that do speak out that do
I get it, But that's not what the presidency. That's not what the vice president does, and that is it's just not the system the way that it operates, and you have to use it as a tool. And what we continue to say is that we have to go within it and fight to get parts of what we need done or at least to stop the bleeding in places where bad things are happening. So now the hunt to old hunt body, which you know, anyway, I don't care.
Like what happened either, Like Hunters, he gets high.
He's a kid.
He's like a lot of people have a strange kids, like he's one of those kids like he's just the rotten apple man.
You got a bun. You're like, damn this he.
Just can't do always can't get right. Man, he don't give fuck. He rebels. He said, I'm gonna get hi, I'm and smoke some crack. I'm gonna go out there, I'm gonna try to make me some money. I'm gonna use whatever. Yeah, it's just who he is, like, and they've run it and I get it. It's a political strategy.
Like you you launch this impeachment ship. You do all of this ship because you want to say if it's smoke is fired, right, And if you do, the more bad press that you can get for the president, the more easier it is for you to be like, we need to change this. Look at son, I know he got something to do it. And people want to run with the conspiracy theory anyway, So as long was you giving him something to hold on too, that's I realized
that people enjoy the conspiracy theory, right. There a lot of people who love the gotta be something, it has to be more, it has to be more. And when when those little conspiracy theories turn out to be right, sometimes they feel so good. God, they tell them anything like they're so good when it gotta be something wrong, you know, and you know that that this feeds into it. So Hunter is giving these people all they want. He
got three three gun chargers, indictment. They're happy, they get guns, three guns, the three gun I think the three gun chargers, that's what I'm see. I think it's three charges. Three guns. He was and died on three. I don't know if it was three guns or three gun charges. I have to look into that exactly, but I know that on seeing then they said he has three gun possession chargers.
So but gonna do a little time, man, I don't know.
He might. Well he got that's the point.
That's the problem.
That's why, because then they try to clear him up some other ship and people act like we don't get how this game goes. We know that because he's the president's child, he's going to get a little bit more cover for some bullshit that he did. But first of all, let me just be clear. Yes, I want the system to work, but I would be I would be a big fat liar. I would be a big fat liar if I did not say to you that I want to hope that because my uncle worked at the police station,
that God forbid I get into some trouble. At least I'm gonna get a little bit of a nicer treatment. I might get some good blankets, might get a little bit of understanding. Maybe the maybe that the chief gonna listen to me a little bit listen close. Uh, And that's the benefit of power.
Yeah, what what do I what do the benefit me to get in the office and I can't be able to do a little sell for my own fai.
I mean we get it right now, you should now he now if it's some ship that is over the top illegal, which that's why they came back again, and that's what they're supposed to do.
To your point, jail situation is people pay. Will you think niggas pay one hundreds thousand dollars for a lawyer? Right, you pay.
He ain't gonna get the same thing with one hundred thousand dollars lawyer that he gonna get with eighteen b or a motherfucker quarter. That's just the bottom line. You paid for your freedom, You pay for the best. Look that this is how the the American justice system works. Now, if somebody and you do certain ship that it's like, okay, we ain't with so much. We can make sure they don't kill you. We're gonna get you. We can probably
get you natural life or maybe twenty five. But you're gonna, you're gonna, You're gonna do what you Yeah.
I'm saying, I get what's goinging on. I understand the whole thing.
The hood that got three gun charges, that got a little probation man for the first time.
So it's three counts. So you know, production is making sure we got it together. And also I have to correct something I put up on Instagram that's wrong the other day, which is fine, like we are humans, but.
Yeah we are.
We ain't perfect funny conversation. Listen, we got minutes to go perfect. But I'm ready to But I'm ready to correct it and say what I wrote the other day was wrong. It was it was not exact, and it wasn't even what I was trying to say. But being fast, being emotional, I made a mistake. So anyway, Production sent us something in the stage that says. Biden was indicted Thursday in federal court in Delaware on three counts tied
to possession of a gun while using narcotics. So you getting and you got a gun, you ain't supposed to have it. I don't even think keep supposed to have me go through You gotta go through it, but I'm not gonna see it and act like I don't understand how the system operates. And that to your point, even with Pooky them, if you know the right people, or you got the money, or you got all the things you need, you gonna get a little bit of different treatment.
Doesn't mean you ain't going to jail, but you if your lawyer know the judge and the DA it has a good relationship with those two people more than bally, they gonna have a little bit of leniency. That's why some lawyers. I've had lawyers say to me, oh you okay, I say, hey, can you help out with this person's case? They go which judge?
Is that?
Why you think they asked that question because they know certain judges. She don't like me. Every time I go before her, she don't like me. And I'm gonna tell you what it comes down to, some simple shit. I had a black man lawyer tell me that the judge tried to because these are regular people. I think when people see you sitting as a judge. You're not you as a regular person. When you come down and take the rollbo off, you steal you out here fucking sucking
and doing everything that everybody else is doing. And the judge try to get with him, and he didn't want. You know the lawyer I'm talking about. You already know the lawyer I'm talking about the judge try to get with him. He didn't want to get with the lawyer. And ultimate I mean with the judge. And ultimately every time he goes before her, it's not that she does anything illegal. He's not saying that.
You give me none that good good. It's gonna be some pride, don't worry about it. Yeah, you're gonna figure this out. Gonna be the only one, you know what I'm saying.
Your client, whatever the look though, what did Ricky ruse.
Are all the rest of that ship ain't no key none of that. You got a chance to keep the key.
That brings me to my thought of the day, sir, so, I also saw a Plausa's comments. How first of all, he also wrote the thing, I want to make sure we represent everything he said, because this is so true that the Trump administration and all the Trump trumpy trumpy people, all his people, his administration, his people, the trunkers, the
Maga people. They keep telling you the system is corrupt until they want to use it, because when they're using it for themselves, they're not saying, how could Hunter Biden be indicted? The system is corrupt. They completely fine with him suffering the consequences and be it because it makes the president look bad. But when it's them indicted on anything, it's a weird chrying the system is corrupt, so on and so forth.
Like the system is always working fine, it's working just fine. Whenever it's we catching hell, I don't get what happened. We can be getting arrested and throw them to the ground, beat up for two dollars crimes and it's not a witch hunt. Niggas is doing jail ten years because they stole. Nobody on that side says a world. The system is fine. They put these judges. Do y'all keep putting them judges
up there? That's trying to throw away the key. Then you came talking about locking people up and death penalty for drugs is fine, Everything is fine, but you lock up one of them Trump Trump get them as a witch hunt. I can't believe it. It's just unbel It's the worst thing ever. Trump got all type of shit that he got, all types of emails January sixth, all type of shit, but somebody get him as a witch hunt and it's on record.
System is broken.
It's terribly We got the criminal on cameras and shit, and we locking them up.
Yeah, absolutely right, but s he here's my little quick thought of the day. I'm reading the comments because of course I said something, so then all the hate is start tagging me to tell me I ain't shit, I stole money, you know, the same thing, the same sub And then they keep saying both of us are paid, right, me and plies, we've been paid. And you know what I want to say, What if we just believe what
we're saying? Like, what makes you think that we got to be paid because you believe something different from people?
Yeah?
I don't get it to say I'm dumb or you or I'm somebody you don't deal with, you don't like me. Why do you have to say I'm paid because I don't believe what you believe. I don't think you paid because you have a different opinion.
No, because you know why, because you actually have a profile and your opinion resonates with a lot of people, and it's valuable.
Right. So when you have a valuable opinion and it goes against someone.
Someone else's opinion, who don't think their opinion is as valuable as yours adult or it's probably not as valuable as yours in a grand scheme of things, they the only recourse they have, and the only other thing they could come up with is the same motherfucking spewing bullshit that you paid for this. Everything is paid. I don't think that a woman should be beat. Yeah, you're simp. They're paying you off. You know you're doing it for No. I just don't think women should get beat I just
you know, I don't. I don't see a reason for a man to physically punch and brutalize a fucking woman.
That if somebody's paying me this, I wish they would pay me to say that.
I really wish that I was getting paid for the ship, because yeah, I ready go through the ship and this is how I feel anyway. So if somebody was paying to think the way I think already, this would be the easiest.
Job in the world. Hey, I mean, what I'm trying to say is that if I want, I don't want to know where the check is. I don't want anybody I listen as I get older and I am becoming much more in tune with like my spiritual understanding in the world and stuff I want to be. And I'm not going to sit here and say that every terrible place about me or I wouldn't say terrible, but every dark thing or every bad thought that I have or bad action that I've taken, I'm just putting it on display.
But of course not that's nobody's reality. Everybody has something that they hold that it's like, damn, I hate I did that thing or I said this thing, or even the way that I feel about certain people. You don't always want you don't want the world to know that. So cool, But I want to be very transparent in this moment right here with you. If it is a check that is available for the purpose of me being able to speak my mind and my truth, I would like it. I need it.
It's the best check ever.
I need it. I really do. I am. I am, I am soliciting the check. God's you are listening to this today, and all I gotta do is say exactly what I've been saying because this is how I feel. Please write me a check because I need it.
I need please.
Okay, family, So friends come to Street Politicians, and we love our friends on this show. We have one who's actually been with us before, but it's coming back today to talk about something really, really important. And I'm so happy we're discussing this today because I feel like this used to be my life, the topic that we're going to talk about, and I don't know what happened to it.
So I'm hoping that this woman's energy is about to revive some real, real stuff in Harlem that has been so important to us for so long, so much legacy. She is an author, She is a TV and radio host. She is a celebrity influencer, and a friend not just to us, but a friend to the people of Harlem, a friend to people all over the world. Beby Smith is the go to black girl, the go to black woman. I still like to say black girl, Yeah me too,
who rocks. Thank you so much, Bev for coming to Street Politicians today.
You know I love you and my song always and forever, and thank you for having me and thank you always. Both of you guys are always representing for Harlem. You know, my son, I know you uptown overall, but I mean, you know you always in Harlem streets representing, and like you said, we need that energy. We have now the fifty fourth annual African American Day Parade, and that's incredible.
And one of the things I've been getting to Mika and my son is that people are like, why isn't our parade as big as the Dominican Day Parade all these other parades, And I say it starts with us as a community. We have to come out. People are like, we're the celebrities. I'm like, we don't need celebrities. We
need to be the celebrities. We have enough lot amazing people in Harlem who if they really showed up and showed out, and if everyone got together and did every block, did a float, every poping block, because there's a lot of popping blocks in Harlem. The floats are literally twenty five hundred dollars, and oh, come down and march down Seventh Avenue and show our pride in our community pride. So that's what I'm doing. I have my flow, my flow is a little customs, so of course a little
bit more than twenty five podcasts. I got merchandise, I got, you know, the church fans. I got towels, and I have three organizations that I'm working with. I'm working with Harlem United, which is an HIV AIDS advocacy group, working with I think you might know these folks the go Hart Dance Studio, well from three years old at eighteen years old, who are in a dance studio where they're getting scholarships and they're being kept off the streets and
they're being able to hone in on their creativity. And then the third one, I know, you know Stephanie McGraw from Warm Domestic helping black women who have been the victims of domestic violence. And my son, I know that's near and dear to your heart because you don't play no games about black women organizations that I'm doing fundraising for.
That's so dope, you know.
I love love the African American Day Parade, the Home Prey, and I was actually honored.
I've been to Marshall on numerous years.
A Grand.
Let's make sure we get it right. I've been to Grandmashall and I just like you said, I want to I want to feel the energy of the parade again, right, I want I wanted. I wanted to get back to what it was when I was a young kid. I used to love just to come down.
Here and beat there.
I just don't think at this point it's being marketed like it should be.
I don't think that, you know what I'm saying.
I think people enough people know, Like if I didn't know you, or I didn't know directly the person who runs it and I run into them in Harlem all the time, I wouldn't even know that it's here.
Right.
Why Why isn't it being promoted on social media? Why isn't Hot ninety seven saying hey, we're doing this? How is it one o five? Like, why aren't staples in our community and major platforms, you know, really advocating for like it should because it's a big thing, and it's always a big thing.
So I just want to get back to that.
I agree. I think you're so spot on with that. And you know, while we can't ever really say why these other places are not doing the promotion, I really do believe it starts with us, you know what I mean? I think that one Jasmin who is heading up the parade, but she took over from her grandfather who passed away. She's a one man band. That's crazy right there, right. And then two, you know, she doesn't have any sponsorship people that are going out there and selling sponsorships for her.
Because that's how all the big parades really get it done. And that's my whole thing. Right If we, all of us, people who mean something to the culture, came out and and really got people excited about the parade, it would be a much bigger parade.
You know. I you know, I want us to just do it. I don't want to cast any negativity over the conversation, but I'm sure you know of some of the reasons why people have not been involved. And hopefully this new energy that you're bringing is an evolution of where we can go because I remember when it was the shit, like when the parade was a big deal. In fact, in my book that I'm writing now, I'm almost finished. I'm on chapter eighteen. You know how hard, honey,
I know how hard, honey, honey. Okay, I'm on chapter eighteen. I have twenty one chapters and I'm editing. Actually, so the book is written. I'm editing that. I'm finishing actually chapter nineteen. Now wow, And I know I got a vent about that real quick. I got stuck on a timeline issue with a woman who's helping me write it. And you know how when you get in that spot where you gotta go my songs book is about to come out as well, you get in that second book.
You get in that and it's like, what the hell happened? Now? You got to go all the way back to try to make sure that the thing is consistent. Writing books is something you don't understand.
You do a memoir like that. The facts have to be factoring right period.
Because we get to wait to break one.
Yeah. Yeah, so I know what you're going through.
So I'm in. So one of the things that is in the early part of the book is about my mother didn't really like She wasn't like crowds and parades and all of that. But my father, that is one of the youngest memories I had of him waiting until I came home from church on Sunday because my mother
took me to church. My father would wait until I got home and when he when I got there, I got myself something to eat, put on my damn near easter outfit because remember you had a special outfit to go to the parade.
Hey, I hear that he would.
I mean my father would take me out and he would put me either up on the light posts or on his shoulders to be able to watch those bad ass black girls and guys coming down giving it up in that parade. And it was and it was popped outside.
Yeah. Well, you know they have the HBCU bands and the major rets coming out this year, so that's gonna be exciting. I have DJ S and S on my float. Okay, yeah, I got I got my tequila already on deck, you know. So I'm really trying to make sure that we have the energy there. And you know, for us, our friend Wadin, you know, he's one of the Grand Marshals, so you already know that that's gonna be a full on movie.
Tell us the three organizations again, It's.
Hallam United, It's Warm, which is we all really matter, and then it's the Go Hard Dance Studio. And these are all grassroots organizations us guys. You know, there's a lot of big organizations that give money to Harlem, but they're not based in Harlem. These are based in Harlem, and these are people from the community. You know. Stephanie just decided.
Every day Stephanie on it. Every day.
Every day she's walking through the streets and grabbing women that are being in abusive relationships, and she's like, I got a place.
For you, you know.
Go hard dance studio. She just decided because her daughter was being denied the opportunity to do hip hop, dance and a classical dance studio in Harlem which will remain nameless. She said, Oh no, then I need to create something so the girls who want to do hip hop but also want to do ballet, they have a home to come to. And then Harlem United. It's on the streets doing needle exchange. You're doing the testing for finsanol and the drugs. They're like doing all of that stuff as
well as HIV and AIDS. They're doing all these things, are doing the work. I wanted to get grassroots. I wanted to get in it. Yeah, because that's what you do.
That's the thing I think we love about her. Right min It's like you can see Bev and Greece twelve o'clock and then in the night. Somehow you have made it back for a small event that one of us may be throwing, or somebody else that's just doing a little fundraiser for their community. You are the truly a friend to the stars, and the people thank you.
As are you guys. You guys do it all day. And I think that it's important for the folks who are your listeners and your viewers to understand that when you get to a certain point, it doesn't mean now, all of a sudden, you turn your back on who really made you. Because if all of us are being honest, it's really outside that made us. If without outside, we don't get to even have the swagger that allows us to be in all these big fancy rooms that we are in. It doesn't allow us to go out into
the spaces. But it's really our grit, right, and it's our and it's our street smarts as well as our book smart. But that Harlem grit, that Bronx grit, that just New York City grit, is what gives us the energy, the vim, the vigor to go forth. So we got to give back.
You're always giving back. You always do so much.
I don't even know you just don't do so much Like Bev is just the all around, you just do.
So much things. You always got something that's amazing. I go to your page and I'd be like, look at that.
The next year, you guys can be a part of it as well. I would love, love, love Tamika and my you guys, you know street politicians.
Yeah, yeah we should, and please send us the flyers and whatever else, so at least we can do a lot of heavy promotion and just make sure people know. I think that's the thing is that we got to ask people directly to help us promote it because I want to see it come back. I want to see it come back for our children. I know it gave me a lot of inspiration, and I want to see that happen for our young girls because I think with the and I don't ever put down any of these
young women whatever they're doing. I don't necessarily agree or whatever, but I understand people have to evolve, they grow, they're going to go through periods. But there's a lot of content out there that is not good for the minds of our young women. And instead of us trying to fight that, because you know, you can only do but so much. You got to provide them a different image and we just need to make it fool. So thanks BEV.
And we also can still be sexy and vibrant and all the things, because I mean, when I'm wearing, it's gonna be and you see the girls as out, so it's all coming on the regular on the regular. But we can still be flying. We can be all those things. And it doesn't mean like because we're doing the right thing or we're doing good things that we need to be like you know the outset. Yeah, we too fly for all of that.
I don't live.
That's I don't.
I'm just telling y'all I would not even be a portion of my true self if I didn't not let y'all see. Sometimes the girls is out. Sometimes I might be twerking. I go out. I was on a podcast the other day. The lady said, you go to the strip club? I said, you go to the strip club?
Like?
Yeah, Like when I go to a city and I arrived at nine o'clock at night, everything is closed. Anyway, I hang out where the.
People wings and good and it might meet.
Somebody, might meet somebody, because sometimes it be some you know what I'm saying exactly exactly.
But we can also still do until for him.
When I get up in the morning, I go down to the state House and tell a white man about what he's doing to my people. And don't stop. It's not like I oversleep the rat I'm doing both. That's okay. I'm forty, So that's it.
His talent is all about balance, and that's what we do and that's what we give. And this is good examples for the people that are looking and listening, and they need to know that it's all about balance. That's right. Oh, got to have a balance, got to have the balance than you guys. Thank you so much for you.
And that's the information so we can get it out and y'all make sure you support the three organizations. Y'all be talking about what to do. It ain't nobody doing nothing. I can't find nobody do nothing. Well, there's three organizations doing things for people who might be impacted by HIV
or trying to prevent folks from getting it. There are there's a program for children from three to eighteen that want to do hip hop and classical ballet dance all in one that keeps our young women off the street. Y'all talking about y'all don't like this and that and that in the booty holes. Well, then here's something else. Then you also have a woman that's doing I know, Steph, she's doing real work, serious work around domestic violence, which we know is an issue. And domestic violence is not
just your man beating you up. It might be your mama, your daddy, you and your sisters. Like, domestic violence can be a lot of things, and she's doing good work on that. So y'all support these organizations.
Thanks Ben, thank you, my baby, Thank you, guys, I love you.
Thank you.
Shout out to our friend, the great Bebby smith Man. Bebby does so many things. Her energy is just contagious. Like when you see bev, I don't give a fuck what you going through. You having a bad day. When you see Bebby, you gonna smile.
You're gonna smile. That's just that's the energy she's always had.
I remember Bebvy was like one of the first people I seen when I came home from prison. I went to see Fat joson when I think he was doing a video shoot or something, and Bebby was in his trailer. As soon as I walked in and she was just so happy to see me, hugging me, and we had the best coming and I just remember that I was fresh home from prison. I was like still like, you know, just moving and her energy just made me lighting up.
You know, being being in prison for so long, you just you still guarded, you don't know what's going on. You quiet, and I had like a child like joy just talking it back her energy to shout out to her, say is.
My memory of her or my feeling about her? You know, in this world, people are not always kind. And I've experienced, just like everybody else, moments when I walked in the rooms and felt like people funny acting towards me. You know, just a lot of things. Never with Beverly, every time I see her, every time you see Bevsmith, she gonna give you love. She never acts funny towards me. She never didn't speak. You don't really know where she is.
She is consistently on it and consistently supporting people. So I'm glad she was here today.
Yeah, shout out to her, love her man.
That brings me to my I don't get it today. So we were just talking like while we were interviewing her, you were saying, you know, the alternatives to the music, and certain things we don't like about the booty holes and all these things. So I try not, you know, I try to be you know, understanding I'm an artist and understanding artistry and understand there's different things.
There's ratchet shit, So even if.
It's not for me, I try to just keep my ears and just be okay. Maybe I understand that some of the shit is just all the way to the left, but I try to get people the opportunity for evolutions. So I don't really, you know, really talk bad about artists in that manner. But I was listening to a song that the ratchet Girls, they call them the Ratchet Girls, that I'm Sukiyana and Sexy Red hat.
In this.
Suki Yana the Sexy braversalk in my booty hole, and.
Uh, everybody's about to say Thingucie Queanuci.
Your Kouchie Green clear and all this ship and they never said the stinking or whatever.
And Sukiyana comes on and she said to tell Joe Biden that she want to fuck the press. I'm saying to myself, Joe Biden is damn near dead.
No, one don't say that Joe Biden is eighty man, but that isn't almost dead. I know eighty year old people that's doing fine.
I'm not saying they're not doing fine. But the life expectancy for the average human being is not even eighty. The man has lived past life expected.
I can go with that. You know, in this girl, young girl, it's too about you want to like, what are we talking about? That's like me looking at old woman, just.
Like like what Pelosi?
Like what would I do with Nancy Pelosi?
I just like we are in a clickbait era, and so in this moment, that's the type of stuff they talk about. I mean, what do you want? That's it? That's it, booty hoole. It's the same thing like her.
Being on the floor.
I could understand if you gave me an old, handsome black man or something.
But.
That's not going to get the same amount. We are in a troll slash click.
You say the dumbest shit ever, like that's the wall.
And see if it's stick. It's so. It stuck so much you bought it up today and believe it, and and and at the end of the day, this is why right, everybody goes to the red carpet, it stands up and takes a picture, and where they get mentioned. Mainly it's for how fly they are or how terrible they look. That's that's the red carpet game. It's how fly you look or how terrible you look, or who you show up with. Those things are no longer. It's like drugs. It's we are in the era where they
gotta get more so dopamine exactly, it's not enough. You need the fentanyl. It's the fentanyl error right.
Where now now or you come close to it, you need so.
You because what I have on I don't know if I can fuck with Joe Blow and Tow. I don't know if that maybe I can, maybe I can't. Actually, I personally thought that Sukiana looked really cute, Like I liked her dress. I thought it was sexy and I
thought she her body looked nice in it. I thought she looked good when she stood up and I saw the picture, I'm like, Okay, that dress could but it probably wasn't going to get the same attention as young Miami who people had a bunch of opinions about how she looked and then other people that were on the carpet, that folks might have been like, oh, this was the best thing ever, you know, or whatever, so probably was
gonna get that. Then she probably wasn't going to get the worst, so she would have just been one of those that passed through. So she went to the ground to put her behind and her tongue out because that, for her was what would get her offending all high. So that's the era that we're in. So why not say, Joe Biden my booty holes brown?
Oh man, you couldn't even what you're gonna do. He couldn't even do nothing with that.
But these young women And one of the reasons why I don't, I don't, you know, And people keep telling me, oh, you need to say this, and then I hear them, and I'm not saying they're wrong, because I do see the problem. I see it, and I believe they see it too. The industry knows. And it's once again the same thing that you talked about of industry gives incentives to violence and the drill rappers and all of that, and the same thing is happening with the over sexualization
of women. But you know, I think it was either sexy read or one of them came out with the dog chain on being walked on the ground. Somewhere somewhere I heard that and guess what people did that before? Snoop did that? Like you know, this is the tip drill, the credit card swipe, the whole thing. These are things that have been happening. Well. A lot of people have issue with it because women are now doing it on our own, which we were not before. But the other
thing I realized is these are kids. They are kids, and as time goes on, they will and that's the goal.
Man. So you understand. You wouldn't have said for your mind, so you come off.
It ain't for you to understand. I read somewhere and we got to go. But I read somewhere something that said, nobody cares what you and I think because we thought and forty seven and date on kids.
He just you got here from somehow we got here. You understand. Thing.
So my thing is, if you if you want to be around long and be relevant, I mean, listen to somebody.
You know what I'm saying. I hope so, but come on, not Joe Biden. Joe Biden.
