Speaker 3 (02:52):
Rolling, Montee.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Here we go again. Another simple traffic stop results in
the death of a black man. This time a seat
belt violation in Chicago leads to ninety six shots being
fired in forty one seconds. This took place on March
twenty first, when tactical officers with the Chicago Police Department

(03:31):
stopped twenty six year old Dexter Read before gunfire erupted
on both sides. The release by the Camp video sparks questions,
rather than providing answers. How could the plane clothes officers
seed Dexter was not wearing a seat belt when it's
windows were twenty were tinted. And how was Dexter supposed

(03:52):
to know who these plain clothes officers were when they
didn't announce themselves or they surrounded his car with guns drawn. Now,
what's your about to see is very triggering. So I'm
gonna give you a heads up to turn away. Uh
if you do not want to see this video, so
we're gonna give you that time. All right, there's a

(04:13):
two minute and forty five second video. Folks, watch what happened.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
No, do not roll the window.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Do not fucking roll it up the doors. I'm on
the fucking door.

Speaker 6 (04:23):
Unlock the doors.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
I'm on the fucking door.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
Knock the door, open the.

Speaker 6 (04:29):
Door down, open the door down, open the door, rare, rare.

Speaker 7 (05:11):
All right, neighbor, good.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Night.

Speaker 8 (05:24):
We an't got in while we're in an ambulance route.
We got it around. You didn't know whatever nanny s
having us down.

Speaker 5 (05:38):
Don't bookings?

Speaker 6 (05:44):
We got Amailton around?

Speaker 5 (05:46):
Who?

Speaker 8 (05:52):
Well?

Speaker 9 (05:52):
Good?

Speaker 10 (05:54):
All right?

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Andrew Stral the Severs attorney. He is representing the family here,
Andrew lad they had him in the show. Okay, So
Andrew heres, And I'm just gonna give an example. I
remember when I lived in Chicago and I was I
pulled over. This car was at a green light, wasn't moving.

(06:17):
I pulled over, you know, and I took off. Car
behind me starts chasing me, and I don't know who
the hell it is, So I keep going, I don't
know who the hell is. So then we go another block.
Then the car pulled up beside me and he's yelling,
get over, get over, get over. So then he gets
out of the car and then come look my car,

(06:38):
windows up. Then he shows his badge, and then he goes,
why the hell you didn't pull over? I said, I
didn't know who the hell you were. You were in
an unmarked car. Okay, I can't tell who you are.
Why the hell I'm gonna pull over because some dude
is telling me to pull over? When I see this here?

(06:59):
What I I saw, well, that bodycam started. At no
point did I hear any one yell roll your window down.
Chicago police, this is an order. Now have you seen
anything when these officers identify themselves to this young man Roland?

Speaker 11 (07:20):
Not only did they not identify themselves as Chicago police,
they rolled up on him, cut him off, unmarked police car, plane,
closed officers wearing hoodies and baseball caps. Dexter Reed had
no idea from what I've seen on the video that
they were police officers. So what we see is an unconstitutional, unreasonable,

(07:46):
prettactual racist stop on the West side of Chicago. And
as you know, Roland, they've got these tactical units that
do unconstitutional policing with decades of history regarding abuse and
black communities.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
So to me, what started?

Speaker 12 (08:05):
Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait
wait wait wait wait wait wait now. Now, I'm sure
you're telling me that he's driving down the street. All
of a sudden, cars pull out out in front of him.
They block him in playing clothes. Folks jump out over
over a seatbelt, but.

Speaker 11 (08:27):
We don't even know if it was a seatbelt because
you can't see in those tinted windows.

Speaker 13 (08:31):
They had no reason to stop him.

Speaker 11 (08:33):
It was a pretextual racist stop by tactical officers working.

Speaker 13 (08:39):
And here's the thing rolling that's so disturbing.

Speaker 11 (08:42):
As you know, there's a federal consent to cree pending
against the City of Chicago, and part of the historical
evidence shows these tactical units are terrorizing citizens on the
West and South sides, and so it's it's it's tragic.

Speaker 13 (08:58):
And then in the middle does rounds fired.

Speaker 11 (09:01):
And then at the end you see an execution style
military shooting of Dexter Read as he lay dying on
the ground next to his car.

Speaker 13 (09:13):
It's it's tragic on multiple levels. How many black and brown.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Went are you are you? Are you telling you telling
me that because I cut the video? Are you telling
me that while he is laying on the ground a
shot was fired into his body while he was laying
on the ground.

Speaker 13 (09:29):
Three more shots. He came out of the car unarmed.
You can see him unarmed.

Speaker 11 (09:34):
They shoot him again, and then when he's laying next
to the car, the one shooting officer pumps three more
bullets into him while he's laying unarmed by the car.
And we've asked the state's attorney to consider criminal charges
against the officers. We've asked Mayor Johnson to disband these
tactical units that terrorize black folks on the West and

(09:56):
South sides. You know, there's so many issues rolling with
this case. Now they're going to say he had a gun,
there was a weapon recovered in his car.

Speaker 13 (10:04):
But let's talk.

Speaker 11 (10:05):
This all started with an unconstitutional, pretextual stop over. They say,
a seatbelt violation, which they couldn't even have seen because
he had dented windows.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
It is stunning to actually watch that. And again we've
done these stories so many times. And another black man
dead because of a traffic stop in this case, supposedly
a seat belt before, it's been an air freshener hanging down, before,
it's been a tail light, before, it's been a license plate.

(10:39):
It's always something small and all of a sudden escalates.
And I also last question, how many officers were involved here?
I mean, you need that many officers.

Speaker 13 (10:52):
Land great, great question.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Listen to chuches out heat belt not being worn.

Speaker 13 (10:55):
Five officers in an suv, four men and one woman.

Speaker 11 (11:00):
One of them is wearing a hoodie, the other one
are wearing baseball caps. They jump out. They're called the
jump out Boys. They jumped out, surrounded the unit. Well,
guns pointed into the car and it just erupted into
gunfire and it ended in an execution. And the City
of Chicago and Mayor Brandon Johnson has got to commit

(11:20):
to the consent decree and reform how many black men
need to die before we'll change the behavior of certain
members of the Chicago Police Department, especially these tactical units.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Ninety six shots in forty one seconds, Andrew, keep us
a breast what happens in this case.

Speaker 13 (11:40):
Appreciate you, Roland, Thanks for having me.

Speaker 2 (11:41):

D Sherry sebre and you know what you're watching Roland
Martin on Fielding.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
All right, for let's welcome back Roland Martin nfilter here
on the Black Start Network. Let me introduce my panel.
Robert Bartillo.

Speaker 17 (13:43):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
He is host People Passionate Politics, News and Talk thirteen
eighty w a OK out of Atlanta. Scott Bolden, he is,
of course a law you're in d C former Chair
National Bar Association, in d C Chamber, d C Pack Chamber,
Come Tamil Commerce Pack Scott. I uh, listen, I understand

(14:07):
the role of officers. I understand when it comes to
combating crime. But you it takes all of that for
seat built violation.

Speaker 5 (14:19):
No, it doesn't take all of that. But you know,
I love breaking these videos down. If you if you
look at the we're.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
So so we're gonna do this here, We're gonna do
this here, make this point right here, and we have
a video from several angles and so we're gonna do this.
We're gonna we're gonna play these videos and then we're
gonna we're gonna go through that and we can sort
of describe. Uh, so make your initial comment. Then I'm
gonna have them replay the first video. Then guys get
the other videos ready so we can actually break it down.

Speaker 18 (14:50):
Uh.

Speaker 17 (14:50):
First, tactical units aren't hired and aren't on duty to
make traffic stops.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
That's first thing.

Speaker 17 (14:57):
Even if they saw him coming from the front window
of his car and said he didn't have his violet,
didn't have his seatbelt on, that's how what tactical units do.
And if it's the traffic stop, you don't go up
to the car which your gun's drawn, saying put your
put your windows down, so that that's blown away, regardless
of what they investigate. Secondly, ninety one shots in forty

(15:18):
one seconds. There are officers shooting from one hundred to
two hundred feet away, right, which means that's dangerous for
people around them, it's dangerous for the officers. And the
victim gets out of the car unarmed, with his hands up,
and when he gets to the back of the car,
they're still shooting, and those bullets. After he's got his

(15:42):
hands up and he's outside the vehicle, that's when he
gets shot, and you can see he gets gunned down
by three four, five, sixty seven different shots Includedly, it
looks like the officers from a distance, who's behind the
car just firing and reloading the fire That.

Speaker 5 (16:00):
Makes absolutely no sense. There's a lot more going on
here is why they stopped him.

Speaker 17 (16:04):
More importantly, just irresponsibility in regard to just unloading your
your firearm on a traffic stop like this, simply because
he's got a gun.

Speaker 5 (16:13):
Makes and he didn't have a gun, but.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
He got folks go ahead and right and and the
other deal is you can actually carry a gun, and
people carry guns for protection. Roll a video then nobody.

Speaker 5 (16:28):
They didn't even a weapon, by the way.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
And there you go. Audio turned up, turned door, locked
the doors, door knocked, the door.

Speaker 8 (17:02):
Bare rare.

Speaker 19 (17:26):

Speaker 19 (18:21):

Speaker 2 (18:22):

Speaker 19 (18:27):

Speaker 8 (18:31):
Got okay, we turn to get a five. Yeah, we

Speaker 17 (18:59):
You?

Speaker 8 (19:02):
Casey Rger's up?

Speaker 5 (19:03):
What's your feet? What's your feet? I don't know?

Speaker 8 (19:06):
Said yeah, yeah, we're aware.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
We have at all right, folks, Now cueue up in
the next video so we can look at it from
that particular angle, and good press play. Do not roll.

Speaker 8 (19:35):
The doors?

Speaker 19 (19:35):
Now, lock the doors open today, say what's going?

Speaker 5 (20:08):
All right?

Speaker 2 (20:09):
So there's another angle. Let's play that one. Let's put
you put your window down and hold this one down.

Speaker 20 (20:28):
Not not up?

Speaker 5 (20:55):
All right?

Speaker 2 (20:55):
So we got three more videos. Press play the next one.

Speaker 8 (21:00):
Eleven.

Speaker 6 (21:02):
It's not really we not to do now come, I'm
not to go down water stop water.

Speaker 21 (21:25):
Al right?

Speaker 2 (21:26):
Next video, m.

Speaker 5 (21:59):
When did the approaching with his guns? And this was
a tactical stop?

Speaker 2 (22:03):
This was not okay? All right, okay, last okay, here's
the last video. Here's the last video. Press play all right,
so we've seen that video there, all right, all right,
so so okay, So Robert, we played six different videos.

(22:26):
At no point in a single video do I hear
cops say police? Now, in the fifth video we played,
you see somebody with a vest on. It's this police
on the back. I'm assuming it says on the front.
But when they come up to the vehicle, that nobody
identifies themselves at no point, and I don't see I

(22:49):
don't see a badge dangling from their neck. I don't
see anything. How the hell am I supposed to know
who you are?

Speaker 7 (22:57):
That's one of the many questions I think all of
us have. This is an outrage for that community and
for any community. And when we hear all this hyperbole around,
why are we still marching and protesting and demanding accountability
and even demanding from the Body Administration federal legislation on
police brutality. This is why there are so many points
where the police could have de escalated this situation from

(23:20):
the beginning, by identifying themselves, by finding ways to talk
these things down. And I'm not even quite sure who
fired the first shot in this situation, but those set
of circumstances, should ninety one shots be needed for this
type of this type of interaction, not to mention you're
in a populated area, thinking about the collateral damage it

(23:41):
could have happened. These cops are firing from one hundred
two hundred feet away and ventually. So it is an
absolute atrocity that has taken place in this situation. And
I'm hoping that as evidence comes out, we find exactly
what motivating these cops to respond in this matter.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Scott, I mean, I think back to the shooting of
the black couple in Cleveland, when the cop jumped on
top of the car and it was firing shots down
bus shots had been fired as well, and you just say,
and granted that that was after a car chase. This
is I mean, I get unmarked vehicles, but I'm sorry,

(24:24):
I don't care if you're in Chicago where people got
well carjackings things like that. I'm gonna even even when
we played them, even when they got out of the car,
and to your point, Scott's guns were already drawn, hit
his window all the way down. I'm sitting here waiting
for somebody to say we are Chicago police. So they're

(24:45):
talking and he's like, I don't know, I'm raising my
window up. Who the hell y'all.

Speaker 5 (24:50):
Yeah. And the other question that's going to be raising
the investigation is there were playing.

Speaker 17 (24:55):
There were unmarked cars, but one of those cars and
all of your video had lights flashing, but they were
on the back. I don't know whether they were on
the front or not. That's one thing. Some of the
undercover had police on the back of their jackets, but
not necessarily on the front. You didn't see the badger's

(25:16):
danglan as you say, like they have in New York.
But this was a tactical stop. This was not a
traffic stop.

Speaker 19 (25:24):
It just wasn't.

Speaker 17 (25:25):
It doesn't take five people to do this. They had
their guns drawn. They were looking for something, whether it
was drugs, gun, He was a suspect.

Speaker 22 (25:35):
They approached that car to get him out of that car,
which means decisions were made before they stopped that car. Right,
This isn't them just driving and they do a traffic stop.
So that's part of the investigation. They don't appear to
find drugs, but they found.

Speaker 5 (25:51):
A gun in the car.

Speaker 17 (25:52):
But it reminds me of Lakwan McDonald, whatever the case
may be, if there's a gun on the scene, or
even if he has a gun like Lakwanda did not
go from from from Wisconsin, not a kwan.

Speaker 5 (26:09):
It was Flander.

Speaker 21 (26:10):
Flander, somebody Lando castile, when.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Castile, that's right.

Speaker 17 (26:17):
When the training of these fla if there is a
gun or they believe shots are fired, they are it
appears to be trained to just empty their weapon, whether
there's a thread or not. The reason the two hundred
feet away with the with that one angle with the
cop firing right, he's firing two hundred feet.

Speaker 5 (26:40):
Away and he's empty in his his nine millimeter.

Speaker 17 (26:45):
He doesn't even see the the victim walks into the
line of fire.

Speaker 5 (26:51):
He's just firing at the car.

Speaker 23 (26:53):
Boomo pop, PLoP PLoP pop. He's just fired at the car.
He keeps no way he's gonna hit the victor who's
in the car. He can hit other police officers, he could.

Speaker 17 (27:04):
Hit community people, his police office could walk in the
line of that fire.

Speaker 5 (27:09):
That's completely irresponsible and ridiculous.

Speaker 17 (27:12):
Because if you see on the video the victim walks
into the line, if he's walking to the battle of
the car, his.

Speaker 5 (27:18):
Hands up and he walks into that gunfire. That's what
that video shows.

Speaker 24 (27:23):
And if he walked into that gunfire, he didn't have
a weapon on him, he left the weapon in the car.

Speaker 17 (27:30):
And then lastly, when they approached the car, right, look
how they escalated. Don't row your windows, dumb, roll them up,
don't roll them up, don't roll them up.

Speaker 5 (27:40):
Don't roll them up. They've got guns drawn.

Speaker 17 (27:42):
And as he rolls his window up, the voice inflection
of the police officer, they begin to yell.

Speaker 5 (27:50):
They begin to yell.

Speaker 17 (27:50):
They all get into yell, and they're holding their guns
because I get it that they don't know what they're
dealing with, right, but they have a sense of what
they're dealing with.

Speaker 5 (27:58):
But he hasn't shown a weapon yet. And then they
had this conversation. But they're yelling, yelling, and the shots
are fired. Who knows who fired the shot.

Speaker 17 (28:07):
If the young man fired the shot, even if he did, right,
then they're.

Speaker 5 (28:12):
Free to fire, but not recklessly fired. Right.

Speaker 17 (28:15):
If they fire into the car, they've got to see
whether they hit something or not. Remember, they don't know
who else is in the car too. They could be
a passenger, there could be.

Speaker 5 (28:25):
Kids in the back. This is irresponsible at several levels.

Speaker 17 (28:28):
That's the I could do a lot more analysis, but
that's my immediate response to this.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
This is crazy, Robert foul comet.

Speaker 21 (28:38):
Oh.

Speaker 18 (28:38):
No.

Speaker 7 (28:38):
One of the fundamentals of gun owners who have been
gun training is never fire or even points your weapon
unless you not only know exactly what you're aiming at,
but what is beyond it. And then this disass They
are firing blindly into a vehicle and as Scott said,
there could have been children in the back seat, could
have been explosives in the back seat for all they know,

(28:59):
and they are firing blindly into it. How is that
going to be self defense or defense of an officer?
How exactly do you explain the need for ninety one shots?
What I think at some point in time they thought
the other officers firing was the defense or was the
victim firing back at And so they start firing at
each other ostensibly because you see how jittering they were,

(29:22):
how scared they were. This is not a job for
the people, for people who are jitterally or scared, and
that showed in their reaction. And I'm hoping we'll get
more information on this about our prayer to the family
and of course the victim in this case.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Yeah, absolutely insane. All right, folks, we'll give you up,
keep you a prize of this story. We'll be right
back on rolland mar not Filichit on the blackstud Network.

Speaker 25 (29:49):
Hatred on the Streets a horrific scene white nationalists rally
that descended into deadly violent.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
White people are losing their their minds. So managre pro
Trump mock storms the US capital or some show.

Speaker 5 (30:05):
We're about to.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
See the lives what I call white minority resistance. We
have seen white folks in this country who simply cannot
tolerate black folks the voting.

Speaker 26 (30:15):
I think what we're seeing is the inevitable result of
violent denial.

Speaker 5 (30:20):
This is part of American history.

Speaker 15 (30:22):
Every time that people of color have made in progress,
whether real versusbolic, there has been but Carol Anderson at
every university calls white rage as a backlash.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
This is the wrath of the Proud Boys and the
Boogaaloo boys America. There's going to be more of this.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
The Proud Boy got this country just getting increasingly racist
and its behaviors and its attitudes because of the fear
of white people, the fee.

Speaker 2 (30:47):

Hey is John Murray, the executi producer of the new
Sherry Supper talk show.

Speaker 4 (31:41):
You're watching Roland mart Unfiltered.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
Twenty twenty two. A black man will strip search in
broad daylight in Jacksonville. Well, the results of that is
that the sheriff's officers said that those officers were wrong
and violated a policy. Ronnie Reid was stripped in the
middle of the street in front of his family members.
The officers did not find anything, but he was arrested
for selling cocaine the State Attorney Office. The State's Attorney's

(32:13):
office dropped the charges against Read in February, but only
after spending more than a year pressing him to accept
a plea agreement that would have sent him to prison
for at least four years, and the coal manor of
the tributary, the investigative reporter who broke the case joins
me now from Jacksonville, glad to have you on the show, Nicole.

Speaker 19 (32:31):
Right.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
So now the Sheriff's department goes, yeah, they really didn't
follow the rules in how he was pulled over in
strip search.

Speaker 17 (32:43):
Right.

Speaker 25 (32:44):
So the Sheriff's office actually opened their investigation into this
arrest after our reporting on what had happened, or reporting
that question if they broke policy, if they broke state law.
That investigation was opened in March of last year, and
that was closed in septime. We only learned about it
by filing another record's request asking for that investigation. They

(33:06):
had never notified us that it was closed, despite the
fact that our reporting. Is because of our reporting is
why it was opened.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
So now I'm confused. Okay, So the risk takes place
in February. They opened investigation after the fact what was
he initially stopped for?

Speaker 25 (33:25):
So the invest actually took place in September of twenty
twenty two. We didn't publish our first story until March
of twenty three, so that is when.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
The investigation was open.

Speaker 25 (33:36):
What happened in that arrest is the police were doing
a kind of drug operation, an undercover officer gave twenty
dollars to a different man, and that man was seen
walking toward Ronnie Reid. That man went back to the
officer gave him whatever amount of cocaine, and then those
officers approached Ronnie and search him down, patted him down,

(34:01):
didn't find any drugs, didn't even find the twenty dollars
that police had given the original man, and then that
is when the strip search occurred.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
Wow, So they never actually saw Read give this guy drugs,
so therefore they assume he was the drug dealer.

Speaker 21 (34:22):
Right.

Speaker 5 (34:22):
That's how it seems.

Speaker 25 (34:23):
The original arrest report on Ronnie isn't exactly clear of
what happened other than this other man walked toward him.
In the investigative file from the internal investigation, we saw
an extra line that says an officer witnessed a drug exchange.
But again, there were no drugs found on Ronnie either

(34:46):
at the time of the arrest or at the jail.
The twenty dollars that was given to the other man
in exchange for cocaine was found in his hand when
he was arrested. It was that money was never found
on Ronnie Read either, and his defense attorney told me
that she brought that to the state Attorney's office and said,
I've never seen a drug dealer give on credit.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
Wow. Again, another one of those crazy stories of caps
say one thing and something else you know actually happens.
But what was a nuts here? They were trying to
get this man to plead guilty, right.

Speaker 25 (35:25):
They spent more than a year trying to persuade him
to plead guilty and take a four year prison sentence,
but he kept fighting. He went through multiple defense attorneys,
and ultimately the case was dropped in November I believe
it was November fourteenth or fifth, or I'm sorry, February.
I believe it was February fourteenth or fifteenth, and that
is when the state attorney said that they did not

(35:47):
have enough evidence to bring him to court and prosecute him.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
Questions from the panel of Robertry First, so will there
be any of.

Speaker 7 (36:01):
Apology, restitution, anything paid to demand for what he's had
to go through in this situation, Because I've had similar
cases to this.

Speaker 21 (36:09):
This is not an isolated incident.

Speaker 7 (36:11):
What systemic changes is the police department wanting to make
the stop that from happening in the future.

Speaker 25 (36:16):
So one of the interesting things that came out in
the internal investigation is that the officers who stripped Ronnie
said that they were actually never trained on what the
search policy is and they didn't even know that what
they did constituted a strip search. So of course we
asked JSO, knowing this information, have you done additional training
in the department.

Speaker 3 (36:37):
We never got to answer back on that.

Speaker 25 (36:39):
JSO told one of the local TV stations here that
they do offer and do require training on searches. But again,
we don't know if there's anything that they're doing beyond
what training they say they already have. And I do
know Ronnie is talking with a civil attorney.

Speaker 5 (37:01):
Scott, Yeah, Scott Bolton here. He needs to talk to
a civil attorney about this.

Speaker 17 (37:08):
You know, the idea that the police believed that they
could strip search someone in public because they didn't have
proper training.

Speaker 5 (37:17):
I had good home training, I had good upbringing.

Speaker 17 (37:22):
Taking somebody's pants down or making them strip in public
just seems to be just at your core.

Speaker 5 (37:28):
We shouldn't do that.

Speaker 17 (37:29):
We should take him to the station, or we should
put him in the police van or something. You just
your corp should tell you that, whether you're a police
officer or not. But here's another question similar to Roberts, right,
what about training and what about reformation of the prosecutor's office.
I'm a former prosecutor from New York City. Either you

(37:51):
got the evidence or you don't. Theoretically, philosophically, rather ethically,
under most state bar rules in the ABA, you can't
prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.

Speaker 5 (38:02):
If you can't prove the case, you don't bring the case.

Speaker 17 (38:05):
Then you don't sit there for a year and try
to get them deplete or something, because that means they're
not trying to do justice, They're trying to get a conviction. Right,
Any discussions with any groups or that state's attorney's office
about that reformation piece or that ethical piece, because Ronnie
ought to bring ethical charges against the assist the state's

(38:28):
attorney for how they had handled this case. Because if
they were going to dismiss it anyway, what were the
internal memorandums about whether they could prove the case or not,
And was there a memo that said or just getting
to take.

Speaker 5 (38:40):
A plea as opposed to dismissing and doing justice?

Speaker 17 (38:44):
Roland, that's the difference between doing justice and just going
after a conviction.

Speaker 25 (38:48):
Go right ahead, man, I think that is something that
he's exploring with civil attorney. We actually haven't heard too
much from the State Attorney's office on why they decided
to continue to pursue these charges.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
When we first wrote the.

Speaker 25 (39:02):
Story, the answer was essentially, a crime was committed and
we are moving forward with this case. We haven't heard
much of an apology or any other details of why
this was dropped or what the internal communication looked like,
but that is information that we are looking to get,
hopefully through future records.

Speaker 17 (39:24):
I'd make that part of your investigative reporting because that
gets lost sometimes.

Speaker 5 (39:28):
But that's a huge issue.

Speaker 17 (39:30):
Because the police are one problem, but the prosecutors drive
the investigation, drive the prosecution, and they've got to be
ethically based and if they violate their ethics, they ought
to be brought to accountability.

Speaker 25 (39:46):
Yeah, there are definitely the story, just like you said,
jso in the State Attorney's office. So yeah, we're going
to continue reporting on this and seeing what we could
find out.

Speaker 7 (39:56):
And Roland, one of the one of the first cases
I did with him, Daniel back in the day, was
a case similar to this where man had half an
ass spring on the stove and they tried to charge
them a possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute,
and it took us over a year to get that
case dismissed against once they finally got laborage also show
there was half an asprin So this is not an

(40:17):
isolated incident.

Speaker 21 (40:18):
Just thank god we have a throne that you can
actually deal with issues like this.

Speaker 2 (40:23):

You're watching Roland Martin.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
Unfiltered folks who've talked about the goon squad of the
Missippi six white cops who brutalize two black men, Well,
they pled guilty to federal charges. Now they have learned

(43:07):
their faith in state charges. The five former ranking county
deputies and a former Richland police officer played guilty to
state charges in August for their involvement in the racist
assault against Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker.

Speaker 21 (43:20):
This grace.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
Law enforcement officers have already been sentenced between ten to
forty years in federal prison. Ranking County Circuit Judge Steve
Radcliffe was Senators Brett McAlpin, Jeffrey Middleton, and Danielle Abdyke
the fifteen years for hendering prosecution and five years for
conspiracy to commit hindering prosecution. Joshua Hartfield got ten years
for hendring prosecution in five years for conspiracy to hinder prosecution.

(43:43):
Christopher Debtman got twenty years in prison for burglary and
five years for conspiracy. Hunter l Ward got twenty years
for aggravated to saul twenty years for burglary and five
years for conspiracy to commit hindering prosecution. The state sentences
will run concurrently with federal sentences. Must permanently surrender their
law enforcement certificates. I mean, you see right here these

(44:06):
six thugs and what they did in the bottom line is,
let's sart even believe for a second this was an
isolated incident.

Speaker 7 (44:13):
Robert here, Yeah, that's exactly what I was gonna say, Roland.
You know, for every one case like this that comes
to like we have this with the Red Dogs in
Atlanta years ago. So many law enforcement agencies around the
country have squads of this nature, have groups of this nature,
and often in the name of public safety, in the

(44:33):
name of combating crime. Because no communities when crime goes up,
they get very lax on human rights. All of a sudden,
they were able to put these units out there, but
we've seen over and over again the excesses that happen
when you give officers this type of power and this
lack of accountability. I'm glad that these officers have been
brought to justice, but we have to work on making

(44:55):
the wholesale changes to law enforcement and criminal justice perform
in this country.

Speaker 21 (44:59):
This is why important.

Speaker 7 (45:00):
For instance, they'll push forward even in this election year
of that Georgie was justin the Policing Act.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
What you see here would just simply six thugs, six
gang members with bad as the good it's.

Speaker 5 (45:14):
Got, yeah, and their goon squads like this still in existence.

Speaker 17 (45:20):
The police department and police chiefs who should resign in
this case, but hasn't tolerated as this kind of mantra
that you to catch thugs or to stop prime in
the roughest parts of the neighborhood.

Speaker 5 (45:34):
You need a rough unit. But no, you don't. You
just need a unit that's going to do good police
work and do it by the book. But this whole
idea that you don't want to know. You don't want
to know how we sell.

Speaker 17 (45:44):
Primes in tough communities because it's the price you pay
for democracy or your constitution.

Speaker 5 (45:50):
Or for a safer community. It's all bullshit. Basically, there's
nothing good about what these people did.

Speaker 17 (45:57):
They've done it before, and senior man management and police
departments know they exist. They tolerated with a with a
blink or nod until something like this happens. And nine
times out of ten it happens to poor black people,
the least, the lost and the left out, and then
they're prosecuted or they're fired from the police force.

Speaker 5 (46:18):
But the damage has been done already. It's just pathetic.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
Yeah, and so certainly glad to see these thugs brought
to justice. Speaking of bringing a judge justice a thug
to justice, Donald Trump's trial begins on Monday, kissing ool y'all.
This food tried to suit a judge. I mean he
will delay and delay and delay.

Speaker 13 (46:44):
I mean.

Speaker 2 (46:46):
This is one of those with a judge. Well, a
judge just gotta say, man, sit your ads down and
stop this. They struck that down, this idiot. Also, it's
also today, Alan Weiselberg, who was his numbers got got
sentence today to five five months into jail and perjurie
lying about that. So, I mean, you gotta be stupid

(47:09):
to say, yeah, I'm willing to go to jail for
Donald Trump?

Speaker 17 (47:13):
Well, why is the verb benefited a lot from that
inappropriate relationship?

Speaker 5 (47:17):
But he got another five months. He must like jail.
He wouldna like it, boy man.

Speaker 17 (47:21):
He done met somebody in jail because he keep going
back for top of Trump. But the judge in this case,
you know, made a very quick roll league and basically says,
sit your ass down. Your day has come. Your day
in court is coming, and it's coming fast. Your first
criminal trial, the first time you've ever faced the criminal
justice system, not the civil justice system. And I'm gonna

(47:44):
tell you it's gonna be tough on Donald Trump.

Speaker 5 (47:47):
I keep telling everybody that those cameras are gonna be
in the courtroom.

Speaker 17 (47:51):
You gonna see that this is a day of reckoning
because he gonna get convicted of some of those counts,
if not all of them.

Speaker 5 (47:59):
Because it's a paper case. It's an easy case to try.
It's about fraud, it's not about hush money. The lawyer
for Donald Trump.

Speaker 17 (48:06):
They've got key witnesses, but they also have corroboration, written
corroboration that regardless of what his lawyer pled to and
went to jail for, it doesn't matter, they can corroborate
what he's saying, and so his day of.

Speaker 5 (48:20):
Reckoning is coming.

Speaker 17 (48:21):
The press and politics and political folks make up like
this is the least important case. Thirty one felonies is
the most important case, and that judge will sentence him
to jail.

Speaker 5 (48:33):
And whenever that happens, right, they're going.

Speaker 17 (48:35):
To have a hard time getting him out or of
serving that jail time. They could keep him out while
he while the appeals work, but at some point in time,
your day of reckoning is going to be upon Donald Trump.
It's hard to imagine him winning the race convicted with
thirty or or less or more felonies. It really is,

(48:57):
because he won't be campaigning and a lot of that
money he's right now has got to go towards legal fees.
So the Republican Party is in a hot mess because
Donald Trump is leading the Republican Party right now.

Speaker 5 (49:08):
Very unfortunate and well, the Republican attack.

Speaker 21 (49:15):
Robert.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
This man's attacked the judge, attacked the judge's daughter. I
guess he thinks that that stuff fly no blair, So
they slapped him with a gag order and then am
I the only one who found it? Strange that Michael
Abanatti was on MSNBC last night talking from federal prison
saying Trump can't get a can't get affair hearing I

(49:38):
know your man is sitting in jail for seventeen years
for stealing everything else. I don't want to hear his
ass but Robert I ain't trying to hear no, Michael
Albernati jail high's confessions.

Speaker 7 (49:52):
Look, this is what we talk about when we talk
about the auction nature of the criminal justice system. When
you have money, when you have access, when you have
political connections, you have a completely different experience in the
criminal justice system than.

Speaker 5 (50:08):
The normal person.

Speaker 7 (50:09):
We have to tamp back down on that if we
want to actually have a functional system.

Speaker 21 (50:13):
I want to work.

Speaker 7 (50:14):
Founding Father John Jay talks about the legitimacy of our
system in the criminal justice system. In the courts, the
courts you not have armies, they do not have enforcement mechanisms. Therefore,
the people have to actually believe that the system is
fair or out the system collapses around itself. What we
see is if you have unlimited money, you can find
file unlimited lawsuits and motions and delay, et cetera.

Speaker 21 (50:37):
Along the lines.

Speaker 7 (50:38):
That is something that is not available to your average
Defendants in these cases have to put guard reils in
place to ensure that no one can use money or
political connections or anything else to face a different criminal
justice system in it than your average every day person.
Because once you start establishing that as a rule and
as a fact, then people have no reason for believe

(51:00):
in the system as it is. And that's how you'd
up with failed state. Something did across the world right now?

Speaker 2 (51:08):
Absolutely, so it's it's it's a nuts nuts nuts So Monday,
all right, folks, shall we come back? I mean, it's please.
I'm like Michael Abanon. He can't get a fair trial
in New York. Shut up, go back to your jail, Sealm,
all right, we come back. Bruce Smith, a former NFL

lost those two in Richmond. Now give an effort that's
in Petersburg, Florida, and Bruce Smith, Pro Football Hall of
Famer says, you know what, why are these casinos being
built in black cities and black people are participating? Well,

(53:55):
he has joined several others to did on that casino.
There are a number of people who have buying for
that license. They are very lucrative licenses. And so Bruce
Smith joins us right now, Bruce, glad to have you here.
The reality is right, since Don Barton died, there's not
been a single African American owner of a casino in
the United States.

Speaker 28 (54:16):
Well, uh, and Hi, Roland's it's good to be on
your show, and thanks for having me. I hope that
we're about to change that. There's too much at stake. Uh,
there's too many people that have paved the way for
this opportunity and we cannot let it pass us by.

Speaker 21 (54:41):
It's not the fact that.

Speaker 28 (54:44):
In the project in Richmond didn't have African American participation.
The majority of these folks, we're not from Virginia. And
when we have these these these economic opportunities, groundbreaking economic

(55:04):
opportunities and once in a lifetime opportunities that come in
our doorstep, and for Virginians not to have a major
stake at these opportunities. I just think that it's an
injustice and we need to make sure that Virginians have

(55:28):
a seat at the table because we live here, we
spend our money here, we send our kids to school here,
and we know how to strengthen our communities and what's
needed in our communities and to help uplift our people,
as opposed to folks from out of town coming in
here and telling us what we think we need or

(55:51):
what we should have or the opportunities we should get.

Speaker 21 (55:54):
Quite frankly.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
And love, we've seen this before where life is come
up and people outside buy for those licenses. I look
at valleys in Chicago that buy for one in Illinois.
So you have these, you have these you know in
the national international casino companies. But your but, but your
whole point is, hey, if if you're a state and
you're a city, you should really be looking to the

(56:19):
people who are from there to participate in that in
the economic uh economic viability of these projects.

Speaker 21 (56:27):
Uh.

Speaker 28 (56:28):
It strengthens the fabric of our communities, our cities, and
quite frankly, the state. We just had these opportunities come
to Like when legislation was passed UH to build five
casinos in the state of Virginia. Uh, just like with

(56:49):
marijuana licensing. I'll give you the prime example of what
I'm talking about. There's a casino in Portsville, which is
a predominantly African American city. There was out of town
developer and vendor, well not developer, but casino operator that
came here and there's only five percent African American participation

(57:14):
in a predominantly African American city.

Speaker 21 (57:18):
That speaks volumes.

Speaker 28 (57:20):
So when this opportunity came along, because of my long
history with the Courtish Company, one of the things that
I emphasized that we had to have a significant stake
in uplifting this community and having a seat at the table.

(57:43):
And they agreed, And I think we're about to make
history if we are chosen to be the developer of
this resort casino entertainment development.

Speaker 21 (57:55):
We're going to.

Speaker 28 (57:56):
Employ over the life of the build out, seventy five
hundred people. We're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars
that will go to the state as well as the
city in tax revenue new tax revenue. So I just

(58:19):
think this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for
the citizens of Petersburg. And it's a once in a
lifetime opportunity for Virginians to have an opportunity to invest
in this generational project that will create generational wealth and
will also decrease the wealth gap in our state and

(58:43):
in our cities.

Speaker 26 (58:47):
Scott Hey, Bruce, Scott Bolton Here, Bruce, If these are
licenses that have been awarded, are they going to be
voted on by a referendum or are we beyond that?

Speaker 5 (59:00):
I can see Bourbon One is a client of mine,
but I did not represent them in regard to the
Virginia licenses and stuff. But I know a little bit
about it, just on the periphery. Uh.

Speaker 29 (59:10):
These five, these five licenses, do they have to be
voted on by referendum or are they locked in and
there's a commission that's going to award them based on.

Speaker 17 (59:20):
An r f P.

Speaker 28 (59:21):
Yes, this this casine, this casino license will be voted
on by referendum. So the process, I'll give you the
short version, and the short version is Uh. The city
sent out an r f P.

Speaker 21 (59:37):
Uh.

Speaker 28 (59:37):
There were five vendors that answered the r f P.
We happen to be uh, in my opinion, Uh, the
strongest team.

Speaker 5 (59:53):
Yeah, I'm familiar with them.

Speaker 28 (59:56):
Yes, Uh they have Uh they do business us all
over the world.

Speaker 8 (01:00:03):
Uh.

Speaker 13 (01:00:03):
They are very strong.

Speaker 28 (01:00:04):
They have they've built, and they own casinos in a
number of major cities. But the fact that and let
me get back to your referendum. So the person that
will be selected, the group that will be selected by
the city Council and the committee uh to move forward

(01:00:27):
as being the vendor.

Speaker 5 (01:00:28):
Uh.

Speaker 28 (01:00:29):
First they have to become a host city, which means
it has to go through the it has to go
to the through the House and the Senate. They have
to pass it, the governor signs the bill, and after
the governor signs the bill, then it becomes law. There's
a hold up right now. There is language in the

(01:00:52):
bill that talks about.

Speaker 2 (01:00:58):
That that that it has to go back.

Speaker 28 (01:01:01):
The governor took that language out, which was and I'm
losing my training thought right here for a minute. But
the governor took the language out. So now it's up
to Don Scott to do the right thing. And doing
the right thing will be doing the right thing for
the citizens of Petersburg.

Speaker 30 (01:01:19):
That has.

Speaker 28 (01:01:21):
High rates of unemployment, poverty, food deserts, limited resources to
fund schools. There's just so many problems that exist, and
this will be the economic engine that this city needs
to provide hope, entertainment, and give these folks a shot

(01:01:45):
in the arm with good paying jobs and a prosperous future.

Speaker 5 (01:01:52):
Yeah. But Bruce, I'll just share this with you.

Speaker 17 (01:01:55):
I don't think you have to worry about black people
in Virginia supporting this initiative, because they certainly wanted.

Speaker 5 (01:02:02):
Your opposition is going to come from those who don't
live in the community.

Speaker 17 (01:02:06):
And those who have a view of the world that
is not that you and I don't share, given the
melanin in our skin. That's the first thing. And the
second thing is local support. There was no issue with
local support. You may have even more, but those prior
efforts had good local support. It's that your opposition is

(01:02:27):
well organized, financially backed, and they are forced to deal
with Do not underestimate them, because those referendums, those two
referendums that were lost already, they were they made all
the sense in the world for people that looked like
just like us.

Speaker 5 (01:02:41):
So I'll leave it at that. Good luck brother.

Speaker 28 (01:02:43):
Well, well, uh, and the word I was trying to
recall at the time, I probably had too many cushions
while I was playing playing And yel, I did say that.
You said, but but it's called the reenactment clause. The
governor took it out. So the governor did his part.

(01:03:06):
Now Don Scott has to do his part, and then
it's not time to play politics with the people of
Ports of Petersburg. These folks want to work, They want
their city to be uplifted. This city has been forgotten
about for decades and generation and this can be the

(01:03:31):
economic engine that puts them on the map and something
spark for new growth within their city, new economic growth
and opportunities for the people that actually live there. And
I agree with you one, but we will be well
armed as we go into this referendum and make sure

(01:03:52):
that the people of Petersburg understands what's at stake and
who's opposing what's about to take place.

Speaker 2 (01:04:03):
Yeah, you said that, House Speaker, Do you said, House Speaker,
Don's gott much of the right thing. Specify that. What
do you mean by that?

Speaker 28 (01:04:11):
Well, the builders needs to be cleaned, it needs it
needs to be a clean bill. So the city of
Petersburg can do their business.

Speaker 6 (01:04:23):
UH.

Speaker 28 (01:04:23):
This, this opportunity should not be delayed, not one single
day longer. These folks in Petersburg desperately need UH, this
economic engine, this opportunity for UH, this once in a
lifetime project.

Speaker 5 (01:04:43):
UH.

Speaker 21 (01:04:43):
To delay it.

Speaker 28 (01:04:46):
Any significant amount of time, we'll put people in UH
in the same state that they've been.

Speaker 2 (01:04:55):
In for for a lifetime. UH.

Speaker 28 (01:04:58):
They need this project and the worst way, and we
want to do everything we can to make sure that
we bring a project that brings massive number of jobs,
get tax revenues so they can repair their roads, so
they can fund their schools, so they can have the

(01:05:20):
tax revenue and the jobs that are created to sustain families,
and they can feel proud about it.

Speaker 2 (01:05:30):
All right then, Bruce smith Man, I appreciate it. Good
luck in your efforts.

Speaker 5 (01:05:36):
Roland, thanks so much for having me.

Speaker 28 (01:05:37):

all the communities all over this country.

Speaker 21 (01:05:43):
Man, much love and respect.

Speaker 2 (01:05:47):
I appreciate it. Thanks a bunch, all right, folks, going
to break we come back. Donald Trump says, I know
why Jewish people and the Blacks are voting Democrat. I'm
going to tell you why. Yep, we're going to show
that racist. Next, you're watching Roland nonfiltered on the Black

(01:06:08):
stud Network.

Speaker 27 (01:06:12):
On the next Get Wealthy with me Deborah Owens, America's
well coach. Nurses are the backbone of the healthcare industry,
and yet only seven percent of them are black. What's
the reason for that low number, Well, a lack of
opportunities and growth.

Speaker 5 (01:06:30):
In their profession.

Speaker 3 (01:06:31):
Joining us on the next Get Wealthy is meeting Barnanilli.

Speaker 27 (01:06:35):
She's gonna be sharing exactly what nurses need to do
and what approach they need to take to take ownership
of their success.

Speaker 16 (01:06:44):
So the Blackness Collaborative really spawn from a place and
a desire to create opportunities to uplift each other, those
of us in a profession to also look and reach
back and crepate and create pipelines and opportunities for other
nurses like us.

feet tall, ways one hundred and thirty pounds, with black
hair and brownhies. Any more information about MICHAELA. Boyd is
urged to call the Columbia South Carolina Police Department eight
oh three five four five thirty five hundred eight oh
eight five four three three five zero zero. All right, folks,

(01:08:32):
Donald Trump says he knows why Jewish and black people
are voting for Democrats. Is out of habit. Listen to
this one.

Speaker 18 (01:08:42):
They don't want to talk about that. They don't want
to talk about the attack of October seventh on Israel
because Biden is is no fan of Israel. Any Jewish
person that votes for Biden does not love Israel and Frankly,
it should be spoken to Howard Jewish person and can
vote for Biden Is or a Democrat because they are

(01:09:04):
on the side one hundred percent of the Palestinians. And
he doesn't know how to get out of it. He's stuck.
But he is if you look at what he's done,
he is totally on the side of the Palestinians. And frankly,
it's incredible that historically Jewish people vote for Democrats. To me,
I cannot and I know you're Jewish, Wayne, and I

(01:09:26):
know you vote for me, but I don't understand it.
Then you probably don't understand it either. Now, you take
the ten worst presidents in history, add them all up,
they haven't done damage to our country like this lunatic
has done. That's and that's not even including the weaponization
of the DOJ against me, his political opponent, and all
of the other things that are taking place. He has

(01:09:48):
done more damage to this country than any other president,
and multiply at times the ten worst. There's never been
anybody like him. It's horrible. And you know, when you
talk about the Jewish people, you can also say the
black people, African Americans have been brutalized by this man.
And by the way, if you look at his statements
about them in the nineteen his statements about them in

(01:10:11):
the nineteen nineties, he spoke horribly about black people, horribly
about and I mean like at a level that very
few people have heard.

Speaker 2 (01:10:23):
Yeah, he's a racist. His best friend was Senator Byrd.

Speaker 18 (01:10:26):
You know, I really think a lot of its habit,
when a lot of its habit. I see you caught
onto that when I said it initially in the program,
A lot of its habits. Jewish people by habit, they
just they vote for the Democrats, and black people, by
habit vote for the Democrats. But now the African American
population is where at the highest level anyone's ever been

(01:10:48):
at as a Republican. It still should be much higher
because of what I've done with criminal justice reform, with
funding the black colleges and universities, with all of the
opportunity zones. Nobody's done more than I am. Nobody's done
more since Abraham Lincoln. I actually wanted to go beyond
Abraham Lincoln, but some people thought that wasn't a good thing.

Speaker 2 (01:11:08):
To just left.

Speaker 18 (01:11:09):
Visit that.

Speaker 2 (01:11:13):
That is the biggest lion fool you've ever seen and see.
This is what happens when you keep telling them live
folks start believing it. Trump sat there and said, I've
done more for the African American people than any other
president other than Lincoln. You a damn lie. Then he
lied about HBCUs. Y'all, y'all noticed, Trump and his supporters

(01:11:36):
can never give a number. They can never give a
number Scott as to how much money they gave to HBCUs.
Serain Tim Scott, Trump, they can never give a number.
Then he talked about what I did apocome Justice reform.
First of all, is not what you did. The Democrats
passed the build the House. Then when the bill got
passed to the House, it was terrific in the Senate

(01:11:57):
only because senators Digdr Urban Kamala, Harris Court Booker said
this ain't strong enough. So and then he loves some
opportunity zones. Scott, I have yet to find and I've
been looking. I've yet to find any data on these
opportunity zones that shows how they benefited black folks, low

(01:12:18):
income people. Can't find it, cannot find it. And I'm
telling you what Biden and the campaign has to do.
They gotta say.

Speaker 5 (01:12:26):
Lie, lie, lie.

Speaker 2 (01:12:29):
Don't give me that wholl You know, misstatements don't get no,
you gotta say lie, lie, lie. And then if they
ever debate, which was which is a question, then Biden's
gonna say stop lying, still lying, you aligne because that's
what he is. He is a liar. And oh, Biden

(01:12:50):
made some comments that I disagree with obviously in the nineties,
but less remind Donald Trump was sued out of the
gate because him and his daddy but keeping black people
from writing the apartments in the seventies, and Wayne Forgule,
he wanted to actually have the death penalty for the
Central Park five. Now they exonerated five. Nah, you ain't

(01:13:11):
getting up the hook like that, sucker.

Speaker 5 (01:13:14):
Yeah, you know, the Biden campaign needs to run an
ad about that.

Speaker 17 (01:13:18):
If they they're spending multiple millions on black and brown
voters to keep them in line, they need to do
an ad that says just that Donald Trump says a lie.

Speaker 5 (01:13:29):
And then the reality.

Speaker 17 (01:13:30):
Okay, he gave some money to the historical black colleges,
but that's not that's not offset by what Biden has
done in regard to historical black colleges or or better.

Speaker 5 (01:13:40):
Yet, but but but Scott.

Speaker 2 (01:13:42):
But Scott Scott, hold up, it's not that he gave
money and his budget and doctor and my fred brother,
doctor Walter Kimbro who's been president to HBCUs has worked
with several others. He has said, he said Trump zero
the program they keep touting was a program with the
only accounts by ninety million dollars st HBCUs. Okay, let's

(01:14:03):
just be okay. That's the program that keeps sim was
made permanent. But Trump Trumps kept zeroing that program out
of his budget, and so they never want to talk
about that. And so it ain't even a question when
it comes to giving. But he is a liar. And
then they say, well, black people vote Democrat out of habit. No, actually,
black people have been voting Democrat. Let's be real clear.

(01:14:24):
Me just started voting Democrat with Kennedy nineteen sixty. Before that,
black people were voting for Republican because black people were
voting for Republican based upon policies from Lincoln's Lincoln's Best
Mention Proclamation all the way through the eighteen hundred and
nineteen hundreds. But it was policy, not habit policy.

Speaker 5 (01:14:46):
That's right, that's right.

Speaker 17 (01:14:47):
And the other thing is another thing is why would
black people vote for Donald Trump or Republicans? Now, So
if you want to talk about policy, what policy or
initiatives does the GOP have that says, yes, we want
black people who want to empower you and we want
you to vote for us. Yeah, that's the question I
always ask black Republicans and stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:15:09):
The Republicans are.

Speaker 17 (01:15:10):
Anti gay, they're anti DEI, they're anti abortion, they're anti
gun control, they are anti criminal justice reform, police reform,
anti voting rights. I mean, they're anti pre childcare. So

(01:15:34):
that's eight policy considerations right there. Whether you intellectualize your
vote or not, will give you reasons as to why
you vote Democrat as opposed to Republican.

Speaker 5 (01:15:45):
You got to give me some policy that says that
black people ought to be here with me, and you
just don't haveything. I'll tell you something else. He lied
about Biden too, and this Ahamas war. I don't agree
with Biden, and I think you ought to be doing more.
But but we're talking about humanitarianism.

Speaker 17 (01:16:02):
We're not talking about supporting Palestine or Hamas.

Speaker 5 (01:16:05):
We don't support a nobody doesn't.

Speaker 23 (01:16:06):
For the Jewish people, he doesn't more, those are our
bombs being dropped.

Speaker 17 (01:16:11):
Right, those are our financial and military support being dropped,
and our concerns about humanitarianism.

Speaker 5 (01:16:18):
Are being ignored. So I don't know what he's talking
about about.

Speaker 17 (01:16:21):
If you're Jewish and you vote Democrats, because Democrats don't hate,
don't like black people, don't like the Jews. No, we
support Israel a two party state solution. We also support
the Palestinians right to live. Instead of bulldozing Gonzaga, there's
got Gaza.

Speaker 5 (01:16:37):
There's gotta be a way.

Speaker 17 (01:16:38):
To eliminate a mos who, by the isn't even in Gaza,
the leadership and elsewhere and cutter, but just bulldozing through military.

Speaker 32 (01:16:48):
You know you're not gonna outrun these images Palestinians and
children and hospitals and camps being bombed because they're one
or two and most leaders there.

Speaker 24 (01:16:59):
There's got to be a better away. You got to
give these people a way out, and you got to
give them food help. They're over there bombing aid workers.
They they bombed and killed some of.

Speaker 5 (01:17:10):
The hostages, right, and what about the hostage We got
to bring them home.

Speaker 21 (01:17:14):
Those a mess.

Speaker 17 (01:17:15):
Some of those people are Americans too, But just bombing
your way through to stay in office, be being not
in yahoo, to not face criminal justice charges, to.

Speaker 5 (01:17:24):
Stay in office because you don't want.

Speaker 17 (01:17:25):
To referendum, but you don't want new elections right at
the expense of thirty thousand Palestinians. Something's got to get
All Biden is saying is listen, we support you, but
there's got to be a better way to do that.

Speaker 5 (01:17:40):
How is that anti Israel? It just simply is it? So?
You know, I don't know why we get creaking say
anything he says, because he just lies all the time.
You say it enough time he believes it, and yeah, yeah,
but I don't know you.

Speaker 2 (01:17:53):
But the reality is you got you got people who
believe the lies, and we have to say no, here's
the truth. And I'm telling you right now, Okay, I
don't care what any pole says. If you are black,
and if you are broken white, if you've broken Latino,
you gotta be a fool. Vote Modnald Trump. That man
don't give a damn about none of y'all. He let

(01:18:13):
y'all want I'm telling you of any of his hotels.
This man is an absolute ingreat. He is demonic, he
is evil. He deserves absolutely no votes whatsoever.

Speaker 5 (01:18:27):
And it manifests itself.

Speaker 17 (01:18:28):
He's told you who he is, believe it right, and
we just we just won't. Since when did we oppose
Biden because he too old? We all said we don't
like his aid, you won't like his energy. Really well,
I like what he's doing over to the economy for sure.
I like what he's doing with climate change for sure.

Speaker 5 (01:18:48):
I like what he's done on the abortion issue.

Speaker 17 (01:18:52):
I like all that, and there's more enough reason to
vote for him for those reasons. Look, I tell you
one last thing, Roland, this abortion issue. I'm gonna tell you.
You can talk about the economy, you can talk about
criminal justice before it come on all this.

Speaker 5 (01:19:05):
Let me tell you something.

Speaker 31 (01:19:07):
The value differentiating that's a word, the value differential in
this election may be democracy and other but abortion driving
a wedge issue on leveraging that issue on abortion, where
you have white women around this country telling their stories,
because it's more than just abortion.

Speaker 17 (01:19:25):
It's it's life sciences, it's healthcare, it's the ability to
have babies or to save your life if you've got
a bad birth process, if you will. That's got to
resonate with every woman in here. I don't like seeing
women get abortions, but it's a woman's choice. The government
ought not be in it. And eighty percent, I'm sorry,

(01:19:46):
seventy five percent of Americans wherever you poll, maybe sixty
five percent say it ought to be a woman's choice.
Even in red, poor conservative states. Those numbers are there,
and so I think it's going to be a real
wedge shoo. If the Democrats don't throw put their foot
in and drive a truck through that issue, then I

(01:20:06):
don't think they're gonna win.

Speaker 5 (01:20:08):
But abortion has gotta be front and center.

Speaker 2 (01:20:13):
You know, I got I got some some fool in
our in our chat talking about rolling stop line point
mere point to lie. Show me how much money went
to HBCUs under Trump compared to Biden Harris. I wait,

(01:20:38):
Donald Trump only actually accidentally went to HBCU because they
had this event that we're going to give him an
award of being a college that got ridiculed and slammed
because it was really put on them by by some Republicans.
This man is a fraud. All he cares about are

(01:20:58):
the rich in this country. And I don't from the
life of me, I don't know what y'all folks with
no college degree only high school diplomas are thinking by giving,
by saying, you're gonna vote for this man. He don't
give a damn about nobody making forty thousand dollars or less. Hell,
he don't care if you're making one hundred thousand less.

(01:21:19):
He is unscrupulous, He is a fraud. He is a
shameful individual. And he keeps lying. And I'm gonna call
out the lie when he says it. Lie, lie, Lie,
Lie Lie. L I E not l ye lie lie.
He's a liar. And again, I dare any of y'all
watching show, please bring to me the proof how opportunity

(01:21:43):
zones have been effective. I wait, let me go to
a break. I'll be right back.

Congresswoman Barbara Lee replaced Marcia Fudge as the Secretary of Hood. Fudge,
of course, announced her decision to step down. She's a
former congresswoman from Ohio, and the White House is not
indicated who Biden is going to name as his next
HUD secretary. They're responsible for billions of dollars when it

(01:24:10):

(01:30:16):
no no, I just know. I just I just remembered.
I just remember because I want to go ahead and
do this. Uh So that were there were a lot
of people. Uh the first of all, I'm gonna tell
you something. Everywhere we go, we run into fans of
rolland Mark unfiltered their people. They were on the golf
course out there. Who I en't ran The one white
guy who said I didn't get his name. He said,

(01:30:38):
he said, I'm a conservative, he said, but I appreciate
your point of view. Uh and and I love your show.
So I was like, I appreciate that. Uh So it
was but again, but but but again, that there were
number number of brothers and sisters out there. I do
love I do love what you see black folks. Because
again it looked like and I was like, that's me

(01:31:01):
uh and so uh so I so I helped them out.

Speaker 5 (01:31:04):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:31:04):
But that was when after I finished uh uh going around.
There was a young sister. It was so funny she
was she was taking me around.

Speaker 5 (01:31:15):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:31:15):
She she goes to a high school. She goes to
a high school here in Augusta. She plans on going
to Nursing University of Alabama. And uh, she didn't know
who I was. Uh, but it's all good and we
were Uh. I saw these two sisters who were working
the tournament. They had pink hats on and they had

(01:31:36):
pink hats and they had their green shirt on. And
I said, I know, y'all a ka's uh and I
dropped by to see them.

Speaker 21 (01:31:44):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:31:44):
And of course of course they were, and so it
was good to see them. Just give me a second,
I'm gonna go ahead and show this here.

Speaker 17 (01:31:53):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:31:54):
And then also I also I got to give a
shout out uh to a brother as well.

Speaker 8 (01:31:59):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:32:00):
He was he runs all content. We worked, we worked
together at CNN, and I got an opportunity to uh
see the whole content. Uh centers and massive complexes. Brother,
he runs all of it.

Speaker 21 (01:32:17):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:32:17):
He's from New Orleans. I had a good time uh
chatting with him uh as well. Uh and uh so,
so let me shout out. Let me shout out Derek Moore.
Derek Moore. Uh he again broke all the content stuff.
Fantastic brother. Uh So, I just wanted to give him
a shout out. Uh and Uh, it was good seeing

(01:32:39):
the folks. And again, I want people to the reason
I'm saying that, I want people to understand uh that look,
our people are here, Our people are here, Our people
are are are working the event. The people who are
attending who are working in corporate communications as well. Uh
and so I think it's it's always important to showcase

(01:33:00):
folks who are doing. Also happened to Carol. Check y'all
email and check your text. Let me know what y'all.
I put it in the group of me as well,
so let men know where y'all have it. So I
pulled up, let me know y'all have it. So I
was going around speaking to lots of different people, and
I understand I have not seen Ron Townsend so Scott
you may not know him. He used to run that

(01:33:22):
television Ron Townsend. In nineteen ninety became the first African
American member of Augusta National. And then remember when they
had a lot of the criticism for lack of women here,
Martha Burke and her group they were protesting. And so
then it was around that time when conn Leeds of
Rice became if it brought into one of the first

(01:33:42):
female members of the club, saw her on the course
that opportunity to speak to her. We're gonna pull the
photos in a second. So here's the thing. So today
was a practice round the Part three contest. It's the
only day you can take photos. You cannot bring They
don't even allow cameras on the grounds. Uh And if
they ktch you with a camera, not only will they

(01:34:03):
take the camera, they will also literally take your credentials
and ban you for life. Uh so uh so so
could not if any of that, but I did that
opportune to take some pictures. And so to Derek Moore again,
who runs all of content for the Master's old team
of more of a thousand, he gave me a tour
of the whole facility. Uh we worked together at CNN

(01:34:26):
back in the day. Uh, and so it was great
to see him. We're gonna show his photo in the second.
Let me know when y'all got it.

Speaker 17 (01:34:32):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:34:32):
And then I cannot remember the sister this. Okay, check
your texts. It's also in group me. Uh so uh,
it's all there. Also was, like I said, the sister
who drove me around, she was showing giving me the
tour of the whole joint. Uh. That was too funny
as well. And so she said, you know what she
says now, she said, my polages, I don't know who

(01:34:54):
you are, she said, but my mama and them probably do.
I said, baby, you tell your who, I said, when
you tell your mamanem who your mamanem who you who
you drove around? Uh, they gonna tell you exactly who
you drove around. But you know, one of the things
that I one of the things that I do is

(01:35:16):
I always I speak to all. I speak to everybody.
I speak to all of you know, everybody who worked
worked there. You know, that's how you're supposed to do it.
So it was so you know the brothers and sisters
who worked the security, who working on the grounds, who
working in concessions. I ran to this one sister. She
has Sigma gammerow Scott. We were in the concessions area.

(01:35:40):
Uh and she I'm sorry, We're in the merchandise area.
They do crazy business in merchandise and so she so
we so we took a picture and I said, because
she didn't have a camera, I said, listen, we gonna
email it to you. No, nom not, she said, I
need you to autograph by hat. So see Scott, that's
how I know you. I know you don't know, Scott.
I know you don't know this feelings, Scott, I know

(01:36:01):
you don't know what that's like. So uh so let's
go ahead and pull the photos up.

Speaker 5 (01:36:05):
I just.

Speaker 6 (01:36:07):
Did.

Speaker 2 (01:36:07):
That's right, that's right. People who keep telling people, right,
people keep telling you. Do you see that? They said, yeah,
and they keep and they tell you to your face
stop getting rolling the hard time. So yeah, so go ahead,
pull the folk, go ahead, pull the photos.

Speaker 5 (01:36:21):
Up, y'all.

Speaker 2 (01:36:22):
We played So that's my man. That's my man. Uh,
that's my man.

Speaker 5 (01:36:26):

Speaker 2 (01:36:27):
Uh, that's my man, like I said, runs the content deal.
Great brothers so so so good to see uh to
see him. Derek Moore go to this is the This
is the young sister who would drive me around if y'all,
if y'all, if y'all know her, if if her people
know her, let her know. I put on TV because
she didn't realize I had a show.

Speaker 5 (01:36:48):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:36:49):
And then what we got next. Uh, that's the photo
I shot. That was one of the Part three is
Conley's the rights. I got opportunity uh to speak to
her as well, so uh. And that that's another photo
of her. So look at my social media, folks are
gonna have some more content.

Speaker 5 (01:37:05):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:37:05):
And again, today was the only thing I could take photos,
so I had to give as much as I can. Uh.
So you know why I should. I should have took
a picture of all the black people I ran into,
but it was way too many. So the brothers and
sisters are out here, so that's it. Scott appreciated Robert
had to go, all right, you appreciate him being on
today's show as well, folks. I'm gonna be live from
here tomorrow as well. And so again I can't shoot video,

(01:37:29):
I can't shoot content, so today only I can get it.
But it was so great seeing the brothers of the
East Side Golf. We feature them in our marketplace segment
and great to see the brothers on the more House
Being's golf More House Golf team as well. Folks had said,
y'all watching, you're watching YouTube? Hehn like button, y'all wishoul
with a thousand likes please support us in what we do.

(01:37:50):
I also hope y'all understand that you know we appreciate
Mercedes inviting us. I'm talking to them with love because
you know, we had a Mercedes Sprinter got total we
were having it rebuilt, and so you know, I'm talking
to them about also being a sponsored partner of rollerd
markin unfields with the Blackstore Network. But we appreciate the
opportunity for us to be able to go places cover

(01:38:11):
these stories because we get to interface with fans people
who support our show. There were people who said, man,
I donate to your show as well. In fact, at
dinner as a band performing and one of the brothers
took a picture he said, I got donate now, and
I'm like, yes, you do. So that's what we do,
and so we want y'all support us as well, because again,

(01:38:32):
our goal is to cover the stuff other people are
not covered and talk about the issues that matter. You know,
we hate the fact that we have to show these
videos when brothers have been shot and kill our police officers.
But here's the whole deal. Other media's not covering that stuff.
They're not covering it. And I'm gonna tell you right now,
these attorneys they thank me because they say, Roland, if
you don't, if you're the only one covering this stuff,

(01:38:55):
we have an outlet that we have to be able
to reach our people to put pressure on electing the fish.
This was in others when it comes to these cases,
I've had family members stop me and tell me thank
you for covering the story. My loved one was shot
and kill and you were the only place we were
able to tell our story. So that's why we do
what we do. And so if this show doesn't exist,
we don't have that outlet. So please your support is critical.
