Making it up on the spot. 36 00:02:12,299 --> 00:02:17,399 The topic for today's mo facts with Adam curry is crack 37 00:02:17,429 --> 00:02:21,569 cocaine, this big business and it's been crime. Are we finally 38 00:02:21,569 --> 00:02:25,229 going to look at the music business and their evil ways. 39 00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:30,480 Actually, we're gonna look at the drug epidemic being the 40 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:36,030 crack era. And the reason why I'm diving into this is we 41 00:02:36,030 --> 00:02:40,110 talked about stop and frisk on the last show we did. And to 42 00:02:40,110 --> 00:02:44,220 understand that we had I wanted people to understand how we got 43 00:02:44,220 --> 00:02:48,690 to that point of needing stop and frisk. So that was brought 44 00:02:48,690 --> 00:02:55,440 on by the crack air. Yes. So as a backgrounder I found presented 45 00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:00,090 by snowfall, the TV show on FX, they had a little special car. 46 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,120 Here's how the crack epidemic brought a city to his knees. 47 00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:09,780 My name is Aaron Williams. I'm a journalist from Compton, 48 00:03:09,780 --> 00:03:12,660 California. I've been researching the effects of the 49 00:03:12,660 --> 00:03:16,890 crack epidemic for over a decade. Crack is the processed 50 00:03:16,890 --> 00:03:20,490 version of the partying drug cocaine in rock form. 51 00:03:20,550 --> 00:03:23,760 I did try it and from that moment on, I was chasing the 52 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,420 initial high, it goes directly to the pleasure center of your 53 00:03:27,450 --> 00:03:30,720 brain. There's just no escape from it once you're addicted. 54 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:39,810 It was so profitable to sell crack. Everybody lost their 55 00:03:39,810 --> 00:03:40,380 minds 56 00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:45,990 $1 $2 $3 motion with a young baby mama and broke babies 57 00:03:45,990 --> 00:03:46,800 increasingly 58 00:03:46,890 --> 00:03:51,330 violent gangs riots, the Crips and the Bloods have swarmed 59 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,880 eastward the use of crack increasing quickly 60 00:03:53,910 --> 00:03:56,460 fearlessly setting up an open air drug market, 61 00:03:56,490 --> 00:04:00,210 the reaction of mainstream America was oh my god, we have 62 00:04:00,210 --> 00:04:01,560 to fix this immediately. 63 00:04:01,830 --> 00:04:05,430 I can't wait to hear your take on this topic. Mo i know some 64 00:04:05,430 --> 00:04:11,370 about it, of course, because of the Iran Contra and how how the 65 00:04:11,730 --> 00:04:16,170 drugs came in. So I know one side of the story, but I'm sure 66 00:04:16,170 --> 00:04:17,910 there's a lot you're going to expose us to. 67 00:04:18,540 --> 00:04:22,170 Yes, I want to get to the human side of the story and also 68 00:04:22,170 --> 00:04:28,740 examine some of the characters that are rarely mentioned in the 69 00:04:29,070 --> 00:04:33,360 whole crack era in drug war on drugs epidemic that that 70 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:39,510 occurred. So this show snowfall it covers like the creation of 71 00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:46,200 crack and a fictional type way. So they did a little background 72 00:04:46,230 --> 00:04:51,450 on on the event itself. So I guess we'll get into part two of 73 00:04:51,450 --> 00:04:52,980 this. This clip 74 00:04:53,340 --> 00:04:56,460 work every day to plot a new and better way to steal our 75 00:04:56,460 --> 00:04:57,510 children's lives. 76 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,980 And that was right around the time the deer came out the egg 77 00:05:04,980 --> 00:05:05,730 in the skillet. 78 00:05:07,470 --> 00:05:08,340 This is your brain 79 00:05:09,990 --> 00:05:12,150 1000s of dollars of cash and firearms. 80 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,510 Enough is enough. Trying to fix things without knowing how they 81 00:05:15,510 --> 00:05:18,330 are broken in the first place is a great way to break them worse. 82 00:05:22,020 --> 00:05:24,210 You had Ronald Reagan getting involved 83 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,410 retribution must be swift and shoot. For those who decide to 84 00:05:28,410 --> 00:05:30,990 make a career of preying on the innocent. 85 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,430 You have the militarized police. I've seen plenty of raids in my 86 00:05:35,430 --> 00:05:39,270 lifetime. Have you ever seen the movie straight out of Compton 87 00:05:39,270 --> 00:05:42,240 where the TNG Rams in the dorm that was right around the corner 88 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,970 from my house? I remember thinking that's a house people 89 00:05:44,970 --> 00:05:48,600 live there. If you're caught with rock cocaine, they were 90 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,640 getting these sentences for 25 years. 91 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,700 You've got to have mandatory Reusch you got to show people If 92 00:05:53,700 --> 00:05:55,050 you arrest them, we're gonna keep them. 93 00:05:55,890 --> 00:06:01,860 We also going to help Joe Biden get elected with this show for 94 00:06:01,860 --> 00:06:07,680 his involvement. godless curry Damn it hold on a second we put 95 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:13,170 him on. No, okay, I'm focused, I'm back. 96 00:06:13,620 --> 00:06:17,100 No stall will be left on terror. And by the end of this show, 97 00:06:17,130 --> 00:06:20,610 that's why I said about the characters that are rarely we 98 00:06:20,610 --> 00:06:23,610 know about Reagan, we know about Bush, we know about Oliver 99 00:06:23,610 --> 00:06:26,340 North. But we're going to look at some of the names that you 100 00:06:26,340 --> 00:06:31,500 don't hear brought up in both sides of the crack epidemic. One 101 00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:35,730 being the crime bill and then the other side being the actual 102 00:06:35,790 --> 00:06:40,320 well, we'll get to that. Um, it's man, it was it was 103 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:45,510 terrible. I mean, I was born in 1980. So I saw this whole thing 104 00:06:46,530 --> 00:06:50,640 unfold. right before my eyes. It impacted my family, family 105 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,030 members. People that didn't use it in my community. 106 00:06:54,059 --> 00:06:57,719 What was it really something that just started like one day 107 00:06:57,719 --> 00:07:00,779 to the next? Is that how it felt? Yeah, yeah, 108 00:07:00,780 --> 00:07:05,820 it really just showed up overnight. And we're gonna get 109 00:07:05,820 --> 00:07:10,650 into Wow, it showed up because we saw it in the media first and 110 00:07:10,650 --> 00:07:15,720 then it started to manifest itself in in real life. That's 111 00:07:15,750 --> 00:07:18,600 that's kind of how it happened. So let's just get to this final. 112 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,590 Final backgrounder. Snowfall. Three people 113 00:07:22,590 --> 00:07:26,760 are going in at 20. And coming out at 45. How are we supposed 114 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:31,860 to build a community that way? We had this proxy war going on a 115 00:07:31,860 --> 00:07:32,310 Senate 116 00:07:32,310 --> 00:07:36,120 investigative panel found that there were people associated 117 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,780 with the CIA who were involved with drug trafficking. One of 118 00:07:39,780 --> 00:07:43,350 the motives was to raise money for the Contras in Nicaragua. 119 00:07:43,470 --> 00:07:46,680 Tonight, I can report to you that we've made much progress. 120 00:07:47,130 --> 00:07:51,660 It's almost hard to comprehend what might have been, if not for 121 00:07:51,660 --> 00:07:55,320 this crack scorch that raced through Los Angeles and other 122 00:07:55,320 --> 00:08:03,030 major cities. Yo, 123 00:08:04,290 --> 00:08:10,290 so what I want to do now is we have to go back before crack, 124 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,260 there was cocaine, powder cocaine, and that was seen as a 125 00:08:13,260 --> 00:08:16,020 party drug. I mean, you probably know better than I do, because 126 00:08:16,020 --> 00:08:17,130 you were in the scene 127 00:08:17,610 --> 00:08:21,150 all the time. Although, interestingly, in seven and a 128 00:08:21,150 --> 00:08:25,740 half years at MTV, never was offered never saw it around the 129 00:08:25,740 --> 00:08:31,890 studios, etc. Of course, you know, very low, none of that. A 130 00:08:31,890 --> 00:08:39,690 lot of MTV itself, but that era. Oh, yeah. And it was yes. Yes, 131 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:40,290 indeed. 132 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,950 It just for reference, what was those seven years, that seven 133 00:08:43,950 --> 00:08:45,780 year timeframe he 134 00:08:45,780 --> 00:08:52,800 made 86 is when I started so 86 to 93 as somebody and 9493 94. 135 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,680 So that was kind of right smack in the middle of it, I'd say. 136 00:08:56,430 --> 00:09:00,480 So that was the kind of the end of the powder cocaine era and 137 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,270 the beginning of the crack error. Yeah. So I wonder if that 138 00:09:03,270 --> 00:09:07,260 had something to do with you didn't actually see it because 139 00:09:07,260 --> 00:09:11,130 cocaine itself was cocaine powder. Cocaine, was the social 140 00:09:11,130 --> 00:09:15,300 drug was the party drug? Yes. Whereas crack was more of a 141 00:09:15,900 --> 00:09:17,820 hardcore addiction. Well, when 142 00:09:17,850 --> 00:09:24,060 when when Yo MTV Raps started. And that was that had to be 143 00:09:24,060 --> 00:09:25,260 around 90. 144 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,070 The 80s Actually, 145 00:09:29,399 --> 00:09:33,779 wasn't Nam. Well, the 8088 may be 89 It was later than you 146 00:09:33,779 --> 00:09:36,749 think. Most people think was much earlier but it wouldn't be 147 00:09:36,749 --> 00:09:43,079 a Yo MTV Raps, I think was okay. Yeah, late 80s. I, you know, 148 00:09:43,289 --> 00:09:47,309 actually, I would say there was a lot of heroin that especially 149 00:09:47,309 --> 00:09:52,499 the hair bands, those guys were all into Black Rock and all 150 00:09:52,499 --> 00:09:57,689 kinds of crazy crazy stuff. But most of the hip hop guys who 151 00:09:57,689 --> 00:10:01,439 came by Nah, man, I don't know. Maybe they We're just good at 152 00:10:01,439 --> 00:10:04,859 hiding it. I hate to disappoint but it's not like I saw people 153 00:10:04,859 --> 00:10:07,139 smoke. Well, the only thing we all knew was Whitney Houston and 154 00:10:07,139 --> 00:10:09,239 Bobby Brown were smoking crack. We knew that 155 00:10:10,530 --> 00:10:13,320 right and not only think Whitney Houston was smoking crack, and 156 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,770 that's why she was like a crack this way. There's there's 157 00:10:16,770 --> 00:10:21,570 something called Oh, whoops. Whoo. Oops. Yeah, that's where 158 00:10:21,570 --> 00:10:33,060 you put powder cocaine own weed. It's kind of like that. Okay, 159 00:10:33,090 --> 00:10:39,960 yes. All right. Watch if she was being the semantics of the word 160 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,380 like, oh, no, don't smoke crack. Right. Right. Cuz that's the 161 00:10:43,380 --> 00:10:46,710 thing. It's also crack. It was like a class thing. Yeah, it was 162 00:10:46,710 --> 00:10:52,500 for for for pain was uptown. Yeah, yeah. Crack was like the 163 00:10:52,590 --> 00:10:57,000 poverty stricken version of cocaine. Got it. So I just want 164 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,150 to get into the myths and realities of cocaine. 165 00:11:00,330 --> 00:11:03,750 Cocaine comes from the leaves of the coca plant found in the 166 00:11:03,750 --> 00:11:08,580 northern part of South America. for over 1000 years, Indians 167 00:11:08,580 --> 00:11:12,330 have chewed the leaves, believing them to be a gift from 168 00:11:12,330 --> 00:11:16,290 the gods to satisfy the hungry, strengthen the weak, and make 169 00:11:16,290 --> 00:11:21,900 the sad forget their sorrows. Today, according to the latest 170 00:11:21,900 --> 00:11:25,770 statistics from the National Survey on Drug Abuse, over 22 171 00:11:25,770 --> 00:11:29,010 million Americans have used or are using cocaine. 172 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,400 Yeah, all right. 173 00:11:33,570 --> 00:11:37,170 I found this clip to be very important, and maybe we want to 174 00:11:37,590 --> 00:11:44,160 just even market because they originally thought the coca leaf 175 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:49,650 was a gift from the gods for the hungry and the poor, and, you 176 00:11:49,650 --> 00:11:53,130 know, people that was down or written what we saw, right? 177 00:11:53,130 --> 00:11:53,280 Because 178 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,420 it will make you feel good. 179 00:11:56,430 --> 00:12:00,750 And so this is the ideal drug for poverty stricken poor 180 00:12:00,750 --> 00:12:03,390 people, especially, quote unquote, the black community. 181 00:12:04,620 --> 00:12:07,770 Yeah, so when you don't, you're gonna tell me that the US 182 00:12:07,770 --> 00:12:12,840 government did a study on Hey, I got a great idea.

Formal, but I think that the way 185 00:12:26,370 --> 00:12:30,480 that the difference between how it interacted I think there's 186 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,360 something there. Let's get it to me, too. 187 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,070 There are numerous methods for taking cocaine. Most popular of 188 00:12:38,070 --> 00:12:40,470 course, is snorting or taking it in through the nose, but it can 189 00:12:40,470 --> 00:12:43,650 be swallowed. It could be alcohol, it can be injected, it 190 00:12:43,650 --> 00:12:45,660 can be smoked. It can be applied to any 191 00:12:45,660 --> 00:12:47,580 mucosal surface and you would be stunned 192 00:12:47,580 --> 00:12:49,470 who does cocaine everybody does cocaine. 193 00:12:49,590 --> 00:12:53,040 It's headlines every day I guess in the newspaper I read, they 194 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,850 talk about it constantly. People are busting constantly. You 195 00:12:56,850 --> 00:13:00,660 know, John Lucci died of it. Richard Pryor catches on fire 196 00:13:00,660 --> 00:13:01,860 with you now. I 197 00:13:01,860 --> 00:13:05,310 mean, it's just, it's just a nationwide drug. 198 00:13:07,170 --> 00:13:09,720 In the past, you might see somebody with at a party with 199 00:13:10,230 --> 00:13:13,830 with a drink in their hand. And now in feature films, you see 200 00:13:13,830 --> 00:13:16,680 people with coke spoons in their nose. It's obviously more 201 00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:19,110 intense because of the media making it more fashionable, 202 00:13:19,410 --> 00:13:20,850 especially when you have 203 00:13:21,660 --> 00:13:25,380 a celebrity or sports figures. Oh, yeah. You know, there was 204 00:13:25,380 --> 00:13:29,940 another symbol was the silver razorblade necklace. That was 205 00:13:29,940 --> 00:13:32,550 another Whoa, yeah, it was radio big back in the day. 206 00:13:32,970 --> 00:13:34,650 And the long pinky finger. 207 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,680 Just thinking about it makes me all disgusted. Oh, no. dirty ass 208 00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:41,370 coke nail. 209 00:13:42,300 --> 00:13:46,740 Well, that was rude. Because I remember as a kid, if you saw 210 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,010 that was kind of like a telltale sign if somebody was on drugs, 211 00:13:50,340 --> 00:13:55,800 through their nails out, right. So, as the clip said, and this 212 00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:00,930 clip, this clip was from a special report from 1983. And if 213 00:14:00,930 --> 00:14:04,290 you notice, one of the methods of using cocaine was not 214 00:14:04,290 --> 00:14:07,740 mentioned was crack, right? Because crack came later, like 215 00:14:07,740 --> 00:14:12,090 the mid 1980s. Right? 8586, maybe a little earlier than 216 00:14:12,090 --> 00:14:21,360 that. But as I said, the movies, the movies were pushing the use 217 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,840 of cocaine. So we're going to look at the movies as a 218 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:29,010 propaganda vehicle. But as you always know, we had to go back 219 00:14:29,010 --> 00:14:32,460 to some throwback clips. And here we have Mr. Charles Wood, 220 00:14:32,490 --> 00:14:37,020 aka the professor. And he gave us the real reasons behind 221 00:14:37,020 --> 00:14:38,070 blaxploitation. 222 00:14:38,310 --> 00:14:42,420 One of the other things I failed to mention was growing up. Not 223 00:14:42,420 --> 00:14:46,440 only did I want to be a white man, I also wanted to make love 224 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:51,180 to Virginia mayo. Rhonda Fleming. These names you have to 225 00:14:51,180 --> 00:14:57,270 look up but brainwashed you Yes, Brother season now. I'm looking 226 00:14:57,270 --> 00:15:05,580 at Pam Grier Blac Chyna Good glory Henry. Now we talking does 227 00:15:05,580 --> 00:15:06,510 something for us. 228 00:15:09,900 --> 00:15:13,620 Okay, so movies were powerful enough to make him want to be 229 00:15:13,620 --> 00:15:19,410 white. If you put these blacks superheroes, I mean, that's how 230 00:15:19,410 --> 00:15:22,950 they were kind of shown as your Superfly that shad was shot with 231 00:15:22,950 --> 00:15:26,940 a positive image but the matte Superfly and all these other 232 00:15:26,940 --> 00:15:33,960 blaxploitation characters. They were shaped the mind of the 233 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,480 viewer of the especially the young black viewer, because 234 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:42,420 those were seen as in a weird way heroes. So 235 00:15:43,740 --> 00:15:47,880 why why were they why were they heroes? Because they had the 236 00:15:47,910 --> 00:15:50,730 they had a maid they had the you had 237 00:15:50,730 --> 00:15:53,940 the money. You had the women, you had the flashy lifestyle, 238 00:15:53,940 --> 00:16:00,300 the flashy car. It's a sense of entrepreneurialship to be in a 239 00:16:00,300 --> 00:16:03,990 weird way. Independent from demand, right demand. So 240 00:16:03,990 --> 00:16:06,930 you mean when in being involved in drugs with dealing drugs? 241 00:16:07,410 --> 00:16:10,680 Yes, dealing drugs? Gotcha. Gotcha. Yeah, of course. Oh, all 242 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,340 right. Being me, I just made the connection. Okay. Right. So then 243 00:16:14,340 --> 00:16:18,450 you see all these cool, cool cats. And they it's they're yes, 244 00:16:18,450 --> 00:16:21,450 they're entrepreneurs. Of course, they're entrepreneurs. 245 00:16:21,810 --> 00:16:24,120 And look, and they're making out like bandits. And that's the 246 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,030 example. And that was, of course, put together by white 247 00:16:27,030 --> 00:16:27,780 Hollywood. 248 00:16:33,990 --> 00:16:39,750 You have to think about it in this way. If you put these 249 00:16:39,750 --> 00:16:43,230 images in front of I said before, there were superheroes, 250 00:16:43,710 --> 00:16:47,970 and it was seen as a kind of a victimless crime. Because the 251 00:16:48,060 --> 00:16:51,060 addict wasn't shown in the film. It was like people just having 252 00:16:51,060 --> 00:16:54,090 fun and partying and you were the person supplying this, 253 00:16:54,630 --> 00:16:58,500 quote, unquote, party drug. But let's get into the second trip. 254 00:16:58,830 --> 00:17:01,560 second clip by Mr. Charlie Lee's films. 255 00:17:02,340 --> 00:17:06,900 They help quell those riots. Because remember, we had the 256 00:17:06,900 --> 00:17:09,240 Kerner Commission study and while we had all these riots, 257 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:16,590 these films helped. To calm that down. I called it rioting in the 258 00:17:16,590 --> 00:17:24,330 movie theaters. Because all of our anger and our angst, we were 259 00:17:24,360 --> 00:17:29,460 able to meet and seeing people who look like us kick the white 260 00:17:29,460 --> 00:17:35,070 man's behind. And what was the subtitle of blaxploitation? Get 261 00:17:35,070 --> 00:17:40,410 YT for every drop of black blood spilled, a white man pays. He 262 00:17:40,410 --> 00:17:44,970 had a plan to stick it to the man, the man see, we were 263 00:17:44,970 --> 00:17:51,720 beating the man. And so I call it rioting in the movie theater. 264 00:17:52,500 --> 00:17:59,010 Because this was writing without destroying anything. It was a 265 00:17:59,250 --> 00:18:00,510 catharsis for us. 266 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,190 Is this the genesis of black audiences and movie theaters? 267 00:18:08,130 --> 00:18:12,390 You can say that, because when you look at the time 19, early 268 00:18:12,390 --> 00:18:16,140 1970s That's when really segregation had really been 269 00:18:16,830 --> 00:18:23,340 officially put to end the you said content movie movies being 270 00:18:23,340 --> 00:18:27,420 made targeted towards a black audience. So yes, you can say 271 00:18:27,420 --> 00:18:31,410 that but I'm more if you listen to the clip and what how they're 272 00:18:31,410 --> 00:18:34,290 playing in the background. It was super fun to fly I heard it. 273 00:18:34,740 --> 00:18:39,150 So for shaft and being the positive and being the you know, 274 00:18:39,150 --> 00:18:43,290 the cop and cleaning up the streets. You have Superfly which 275 00:18:43,290 --> 00:18:48,000 was the drug dealer, I want to say really? The first jerk black 276 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:54,990 drug dealer you saw on film. Oh, being the head of his operation 277 00:18:59,460 --> 00:19:08,820 dude is bae and he's super, super fly. When it comes to 278 00:19:08,820 --> 00:19:14,100 women. They come to him. But he's still not enough. He wants 279 00:19:14,100 --> 00:19:19,080 a big score of a million in the big world. 280 00:19:19,620 --> 00:19:25,290 This is a chance and I want to take it now. Before I have to 281 00:19:25,290 --> 00:19:26,220 kill somebody. 282 00:19:28,020 --> 00:19:29,190 Somebody asked me 283 00:19:29,790 --> 00:19:39,030 what kind of money we're talking about working 284 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,710 now that I took all this chance with nothing, and I go back to p 285 00:19:58,710 --> 00:20:03,720 and nothing job job for chump change the after the good that's 286 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,120 all I'm supposed to do the naval amigos 287 00:20:07,140 --> 00:20:14,220 clean bad machine super cool super super flat. Give us a 288 00:20:14,250 --> 00:20:26,190 secret stash in the bush Superfly Harlem do lead the 289 00:20:26,190 --> 00:20:34,020 system. He's got a plane ticket to the mayor. He's super, super 290 00:20:34,020 --> 00:20:37,950 high. Super duper simple. 291 00:20:39,630 --> 00:20:44,970 All right. Holy fuck. In retrospect, in retrospect of you 292 00:20:44,970 --> 00:20:47,580 know what I would consider politically correct nonsense 293 00:20:47,580 --> 00:20:52,200 today. Holy crap. This was This is an outrage. This is saying it 294 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,500 right there. That's right man. It's gonna be great deal the 295 00:20:55,500 --> 00:20:58,980 drugs stick it to the man via drugs 296 00:20:58,980 --> 00:21:03,990 ticket to the man ticket to the man she's self super flower made 297 00:21:03,990 --> 00:21:10,020 in 1972. Yeah, it was directed by Gordon Parks Jr. Are you 298 00:21:10,020 --> 00:21:11,910 familiar with Gordon Parks Jr. 299 00:21:12,120 --> 00:21:18,180 Not offhand. He also direct shaft. Oh, he did both sides of 300 00:21:18,180 --> 00:21:19,380 the equation. Interesting. 301 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:26,940 So he was a Mr. Gordon Parks he was groundbreaking, American 302 00:21:26,940 --> 00:21:30,720 photographer, musician, poet, novelist, journalist, activist, 303 00:21:30,990 --> 00:21:35,250 and film director. He was best remembered for his photo essays 304 00:21:35,250 --> 00:21:39,510 and Life magazine. And as director of the 1971 film chef, 305 00:21:39,990 --> 00:21:45,390 in 1942, he had an opportunity to work for the Farm Security 306 00:21:45,420 --> 00:21:49,290 Administration brought brought the photographer to a national 307 00:21:49,290 --> 00:21:52,800 capitol. So he worked for the government, he 308 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,960 was basically a politician. 309 00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,360 A little more than that. He's been accused as being a this is 310 00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:06,480 a quote from my website, blog talk radio. Gordon Gordon Parks 311 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,200 was nothing more than a forest, a CIA operative who lived among 312 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,620 the grow leaders and their followers, only to report to the 313 00:22:13,620 --> 00:22:18,480 CIA. Garden Parks was nothing more than an Uncle Tom. There's 314 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,140 no secret Life magazine, let the cat out the bag, just like the 315 00:22:22,140 --> 00:22:26,550 white people to do this. While the white devil work, I'm 316 00:22:26,550 --> 00:22:29,100 reading a quote quote here. He said while the white devil work 317 00:22:29,100 --> 00:22:33,060 to clip his wings before they declared him a fallen angel. He 318 00:22:33,060 --> 00:22:36,240 is the first to have played a key role in the assassination of 319 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,710 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Minister Malcolm X along with 320 00:22:41,190 --> 00:22:44,220 Jesse Jackson. We talked about Jesse Jackson in a previous 321 00:22:44,220 --> 00:22:47,400 show, Billy cows and other CI operators. 322 00:22:48,690 --> 00:22:53,730 Wow. Okay, this this history is, you know, if you're even looking 323 00:22:53,730 --> 00:22:56,130 at Wikipedia is like nothing there. 324 00:22:56,700 --> 00:23:01,530 No, there's no there there. But I want to bring some attention 325 00:23:01,530 --> 00:23:04,710 to something that you may have seen. If you've seen the movie 326 00:23:04,740 --> 00:23:09,960 American Gangster. Another movie that talked about the drug trade 327 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:15,150 and how it was one so black man's up supply of America where 328 00:23:15,510 --> 00:23:19,440 it's also based on a true story. It's an it's Denzel Ward, right. 329 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,560 He plays he plays that. Yeah, that's based on one story. 330 00:23:22,950 --> 00:23:26,040 It was based on a true story, but they embellished a lot 331 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,100 there. But I want to point out to you if you notice his 332 00:23:29,100 --> 00:23:32,820 confidant with the big mustache, yeah, he's always talking to 333 00:23:32,820 --> 00:23:43,590 death garden parks. Oh, wow. Okay, so to think that one man 334 00:23:43,590 --> 00:23:46,530 was annoying got one American Gangster tangent, but just to 335 00:23:46,530 --> 00:23:49,800 think that one man was bringing that much heroin on military 336 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,520 plane. Oh, yeah. With the government not being involved. 337 00:23:53,550 --> 00:23:59,910 Oh, please. Exactly. Yeah, okay. And we know that part is not 338 00:23:59,910 --> 00:24:00,810 true, but okay. 339 00:24:01,470 --> 00:24:04,290 All right. So the plot of Superfly was basically a suave, 340 00:24:04,530 --> 00:24:08,160 taught run New York City drug dealer. He decided he wanted to 341 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:14,220 get out the game and this beer was so impactful, that yo people 342 00:24:14,220 --> 00:24:18,000 walk around with bags of flour and baby powder, just to look 343 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:24,630 cool, just to emulate what they saw on the film. Wow. So let's 344 00:24:24,630 --> 00:24:29,250 get into this is from fan door. It's a YouTube channel Superfly 345 00:24:29,250 --> 00:24:32,160 in the 1970s blaxploitation cinema 346 00:24:37,590 --> 00:24:45,360 crystal Ron O'Neal first some blood priests. The original 347 00:24:46,230 --> 00:24:52,020 Superfly released in 1972, Superfly, directed by Gordon 348 00:24:52,020 --> 00:24:56,070 Park Jr. and starring O'Neal, like the iconic drug dealer is 349 00:24:56,070 --> 00:24:58,320 one of the most iconic titles that come out of the 350 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,590 blaxploitation movement. blaxploitation with a genre of 351 00:25:01,590 --> 00:25:05,340 cinema that began the early 70s With Ossie Davis's cotton comes 352 00:25:05,340 --> 00:25:09,750 to Harlem, barrio bad people sweet sweet backs, badass song 353 00:25:09,870 --> 00:25:13,890 and Gordon Park seniors shaft These films were not exactly 354 00:25:13,890 --> 00:25:17,250 well made. However, they were hugely popular in the African 355 00:25:17,250 --> 00:25:20,520 American community. Because this was the first time the audience 356 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,600 got to see films directed by at Star and people who look like 357 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,330 them. The stars of Blaxploitation films were the 358 00:25:27,330 --> 00:25:31,230 heroes of their stories and not just victims or sidekicks to 359 00:25:31,230 --> 00:25:35,040 white characters, which have been the case it's so the 360 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,000 beginning of cinema. 361 00:25:37,980 --> 00:25:42,990 Mario van Peebles, he was he goes back that far. His father, 362 00:25:43,050 --> 00:25:46,680 oh, I was gonna say, oh, seniors, like wait a minute. Oh, 363 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,030 see, I again. 364 00:25:48,540 --> 00:25:51,090 I bet he's gonna come into the picture. Eventually. 365 00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:53,670 I've met him I Jr. is gonna come 366 00:25:53,670 --> 00:25:57,930 into the picture eventually. Okay. So we had like, like the 367 00:25:58,470 --> 00:26:01,770 gentleman for fan door said this is the first time where we had 368 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,540 stars. Yes, the stars in the movie being black. So that was 369 00:26:06,540 --> 00:26:11,640 very inviting, of course, to say, oh, man, he's, you know, 370 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,970 he's whooping ass and stick it to the man. You know? You didn't 371 00:26:14,970 --> 00:26:16,290 realize the drug part of 372 00:26:16,290 --> 00:26:20,430 it now. Is that exactly how you'd say it? Hey, man, he's 373 00:26:20,430 --> 00:26:22,980 whooping his ass and sticking it to the man. Is that how 374 00:26:23,490 --> 00:26:24,990 that's the SAP that's the 70s 375 00:26:26,010 --> 00:26:28,770 I want to I want to hear 70s mo say it. That's what I want. 376 00:26:32,670 --> 00:26:38,010 So that goes from 1972. Now we fast forward to 1983 when 377 00:26:38,010 --> 00:26:41,640 another drug Norco film came out and other 378 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,010 classmates Yeah, the classic. Okay. 379 00:26:44,310 --> 00:26:47,250 So what do you call yourself? Como si AMA 380 00:26:48,029 --> 00:26:52,469 on folio, Montana. And you want to call yourself 381 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,660 we're going to speak the English Donnie 382 00:26:55,350 --> 00:27:03,000 in a school. In my father, he was from the United States. He 383 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:09,330 was to take me to the movies to learn. I watch the guys like 384 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:19,620 Humphrey Bogart Academy I always know one day and coming here, 385 00:27:19,740 --> 00:27:20,490 United States. 386 00:27:25,230 --> 00:27:33,960 1980 Miami. They called it Little Havana with the American 387 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:40,050 dream at a price and only one man in America was hungry enough 388 00:27:40,050 --> 00:27:40,740 to pay 389 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,010 this country. You got to make the money first. 390 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,790 Then we get the money. You get the power. 391 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:54,960 Then we get a power. Then you get the woman face 392 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:01,890 for one brief moment 393 00:28:03,900 --> 00:28:11,040 was saying hello to my little friend. Huh? Yeah. Okay. 394 00:28:11,910 --> 00:28:19,110 This film is so iconic. Yes and powerful. Almost every rappers 395 00:28:19,110 --> 00:28:29,160 from the 90s either had a Scarface motif video skate on 396 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,730 their album reference yeah referencing a lot of them had 397 00:28:32,730 --> 00:28:37,500 their names Tony Montana releasing now French Montana 398 00:28:37,500 --> 00:28:37,740 ranch 399 00:28:37,740 --> 00:28:41,220 wants that guy find him such a tool. 400 00:28:42,330 --> 00:28:46,080 I'm just showing him erupted today. Yeah, one even one of the 401 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:50,520 biggest drug cartel black drug cartels there was was Black 402 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:55,680 Mafia family. They even had billboards put up in cities, 403 00:28:55,980 --> 00:29:02,190 saying the world is ours. So this iconic this film was and it 404 00:29:02,190 --> 00:29:08,040 was a shape. It shaped so much of of the reality and these poor 405 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:08,850 communities. 406 00:29:09,540 --> 00:29:12,000 Right, although this was more Hispanic related. 407 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:18,960 It was Hispanic related, but the black community latched on to it 408 00:29:18,990 --> 00:29:22,860 because it's the tale of uh, you know, coming up, nothing comes 409 00:29:22,860 --> 00:29:23,310 up and 410 00:29:23,340 --> 00:29:26,310 coming up. That's the term that's that by the way, that is 411 00:29:26,310 --> 00:29:28,200 the term that still use today coming up. 412 00:29:30,810 --> 00:29:37,650 So you see, now you went from Superfly to Scarface, and one of 413 00:29:37,650 --> 00:29:41,430 the iconic scenes from Scarface was the bad guy. 414 00:29:41,850 --> 00:29:49,830 Girl a bunch of fucking you know why? You don't have the guts to 415 00:29:49,830 --> 00:29:56,460 be what you want to be. You need people like me 416 00:30:04,380 --> 00:30:08,880 You can put your fucking fingers aside that's the bad 417 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:09,270 guy 418 00:30:12,509 --> 00:30:34,349 so good you just know how to hire me. I don't have that part. 419 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:37,080 Me. 420 00:30:38,130 --> 00:30:59,070 I always tell it to even when I lie to a bad guy last time to go 421 00:30:59,070 --> 00:31:00,660 to see a bad guy like this again. 422 00:31:03,270 --> 00:31:06,120 I was just looking at and I didn't know this but this is 423 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,050 this film was actually a remake the film was made in 1932. 424 00:31:12,180 --> 00:31:13,290 I didn't know that either. 425 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:18,600 Yeah, it was not. And it was produced by Howard Hughes, the 426 00:31:18,630 --> 00:31:20,100 the eccentric millionaire. 427 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,140 Interesting. I'm glad you said that, because something almost 428 00:31:25,140 --> 00:31:29,820 slipped my mind. Because I think in 2017, they tried to make a 429 00:31:29,820 --> 00:31:31,260 remake of Superfly. 430 00:31:32,430 --> 00:31:35,460 Oh, interesting to reintroduce 431 00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:40,290 the programming. Can we use a fails like this. And it's a 432 00:31:40,290 --> 00:31:46,530 whole, I could do a whole show on drug inspired gang inspired 433 00:31:46,530 --> 00:31:50,550 films that shaped the mind of the quote unquote black 434 00:31:50,550 --> 00:31:52,770 community of black ghetto. Because I don't want this to be 435 00:31:52,770 --> 00:31:58,560 a representation of the black community, per se, but a segment 436 00:31:59,010 --> 00:32:02,130 of the black community that latched on to this idea, and 437 00:32:02,130 --> 00:32:05,490 it's no different than the Kennedys, no alcohol, no 438 00:32:05,490 --> 00:32:10,350 different than Delano rose Roseville, and they made their 439 00:32:10,350 --> 00:32:14,280 money off of heroin. This is American apple pie. 440 00:32:14,370 --> 00:32:15,360 It's what we do. 441 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:21,780 It's what we do. But if you you had to be legitimized, and 442 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,340 another film that I just just just a small reference to, you 443 00:32:26,340 --> 00:32:30,330 saw this with the Godfather three is falling when he made it 444 00:32:30,330 --> 00:32:33,570 all the way to the top, he just realized the whole power 445 00:32:33,570 --> 00:32:39,780 structure. Property off of the illicit drugs tray, yes, 446 00:32:39,810 --> 00:32:44,640 whatever it is by gambling, prostitution, drugs and alcohol 447 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:50,850 when during Prohibition. So that here we are. So he went from 448 00:32:50,850 --> 00:32:55,560 1983. You have the bad guy, which the bad guy has really 449 00:32:55,560 --> 00:33:00,810 seen is the good guy. Sure. Because he, in that speech, 450 00:33:00,810 --> 00:33:03,540 Scarface is telling the truth, because he said, Look at all you 451 00:33:03,630 --> 00:33:07,530 people. You're making money off of the drug trade, because miami 452 00:33:07,530 --> 00:33:11,220 beach front was built most mostly drug money. Oh, yeah. 453 00:33:11,250 --> 00:33:15,510 Yeah, awful drug money. And it's a funny scene in the Scarface 454 00:33:15,510 --> 00:33:19,410 film because they're rolling and wheelbarrows full of cash into 455 00:33:19,410 --> 00:33:22,380 the bank. And nobody is asking any questions. 456 00:33:23,130 --> 00:33:27,750 Well, back in the day, it was you. It was easier. It was once 457 00:33:27,750 --> 00:33:31,200 easy to just roll up with cash. You could do that. But yeah, 458 00:33:31,230 --> 00:33:34,320 exactly. Everyone, everyone was in on it. Everyone was good with 459 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:34,590 it. 460 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,340 I have a question for you, because I heard you bring this 461 00:33:38,340 --> 00:33:43,950 up before, but call me. Back in the day. We would you like to 462 00:33:43,950 --> 00:33:47,520 share people with Comey and how that's relevant to him? 463 00:33:47,550 --> 00:33:52,050 Yes. The bank? HSBC, which is the Hong Kong Singapore bank of 464 00:33:52,770 --> 00:34:00,660 Hong Kong, Singapore, Brazil, China, I guess it is they in 465 00:34:00,690 --> 00:34:04,740 2002 through two so oh my gosh, I don't even know the exact 466 00:34:04,740 --> 00:34:11,190 dates. But in in in our lifetime, we're literally taking 467 00:34:11,190 --> 00:34:15,390 big piles of cash on the Mexican side where they had bank 468 00:34:15,390 --> 00:34:18,810 offices. And that would be the drug money. They'd throw the big 469 00:34:18,810 --> 00:34:21,900 bags of money into the deposit, and then it would go through 470 00:34:21,900 --> 00:34:24,240 their system, it'd be ingested, and then it would come out the 471 00:34:24,240 --> 00:34:28,650 other side, you know, completely laundered and good to go. And 472 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:32,220 they got busted for it. HSBC got busted for it. No one went to 473 00:34:32,220 --> 00:34:35,610 jail. Surprise, surprise, but on the board of directors at the 474 00:34:35,610 --> 00:34:40,380 time, who was there to help fix the problem was Mr. James Comey, 475 00:34:41,010 --> 00:34:44,340 the FBI, former FBI director, well, you probably know about 476 00:34:44,340 --> 00:34:44,640 him. 477 00:34:47,670 --> 00:34:51,810 And just did add to that, one of those guys that I'm sure they 478 00:34:51,810 --> 00:34:54,180 were laundering money for was El Chapo. 479 00:34:55,050 --> 00:34:58,770 That was their main guy there. But see, they're the settlement 480 00:34:58,770 --> 00:35:04,020 Hold on a second. There was have an article here somewhere, I 481 00:35:04,020 --> 00:35:11,130 think. Here's the headline. This is a headline from Matt Taibbi. 482 00:35:11,130 --> 00:35:13,650 He's the he's the guy who knows that he's great Rolling Stone 483 00:35:13,650 --> 00:35:16,230 magazine Matt Taibbi writes fant, I can't believe he's still 484 00:35:16,230 --> 00:35:21,120 alive actually. Just outrageous. HSBC settlement proves the drug 485 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,610 war is a joke. If you're, if you're suspected of drug 486 00:35:23,610 --> 00:35:27,270 involvement America takes your house. HSBC admits to laundering 487 00:35:27,270 --> 00:35:31,320 cartel billions loses five weeks income and execs have to 488 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:35,640 partially defer bonuses. I mean, let me tell you, it doesn't 489 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,310 matter what skin colour you have my friend that pissed everybody 490 00:35:38,310 --> 00:35:41,520 off that was that was not okay. And it's still not okay. 491 00:35:43,140 --> 00:35:46,590 And for a little reference, people want to say out El Chapo 492 00:35:46,650 --> 00:35:50,730 El Chapo is the bad guy, but in his home Community Hero 493 00:35:50,730 --> 00:35:57,150 superhero scene is same thing with Pablo Escobar. He was a 494 00:35:57,150 --> 00:36:01,230 hero so it's not exclusive to the black community say the bad 495 00:36:01,230 --> 00:36:05,670 guy is the good guy at all. No. And one of those bad guys this 496 00:36:05,670 --> 00:36:10,290 most famous, it's a fictional character is Nino Brown and New 497 00:36:10,290 --> 00:36:11,040 Jack City. 498 00:36:13,500 --> 00:36:17,940 Live living living just 499 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:30,390 wants the sliders.

They were on the street and three 527 00:38:54,450 --> 00:38:57,030 years later that that was them in this in this track right that 528 00:38:57,030 --> 00:38:59,010 was the that was them harmonizing I think that's the 529 00:38:59,010 --> 00:39:00,030 reason they called me bad. 530 00:39:00,210 --> 00:39:04,770 Yeah, that was that was these guys around like a fire can 531 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,070 harmonizing but calling me bad had the lead single or one of 532 00:39:08,070 --> 00:39:09,660 the lead singles from the soundtrack. I 533 00:39:09,660 --> 00:39:13,350 want to set up. I want to set you up. Yeah, I remember. Oops, 534 00:39:13,350 --> 00:39:15,690 sorry. So 535 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:24,240 this is one of the first films where music crack. And the 536 00:39:24,240 --> 00:39:26,940 superhero when I left this movie, I went to see it with my 537 00:39:26,940 --> 00:39:30,030 older brother. I was probably 1211 12 years old at the time, 538 00:39:30,270 --> 00:39:33,930 maybe 10 or 11. At the time. I didn't know who was the good guy 539 00:39:33,930 --> 00:39:34,680 or the bad guy. 540 00:39:36,300 --> 00:39:40,890 Right? Well, Wesley Snipes was. I mean, he was bad as regardless 541 00:39:40,890 --> 00:39:44,310 in this movie, and he was just people just loved him. 542 00:39:45,089 --> 00:39:49,829 Right. He played the role so well. And it was it was 543 00:39:49,829 --> 00:39:54,659 mystifying that wow like a successful black businessman but 544 00:39:55,079 --> 00:39:59,159 you didn't see what you saw the other side of it, but it left 545 00:39:59,159 --> 00:40:02,759 you in this weird plays even for me, I'm coming from a two parent 546 00:40:02,759 --> 00:40:06,539 household. One on One parent being educated, the other being 547 00:40:06,539 --> 00:40:12,509 a social worker. So I understand. I'm not from what 548 00:40:12,509 --> 00:40:17,189 the place they were portraying, but it was something that was 549 00:40:18,389 --> 00:40:20,009 you celebrate it, Nino Brown. 550 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:25,920 I understand. I told, I mean, here's the thing. We were, we 551 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,470 were seeing the same thing we were rooting for the same guys, 552 00:40:28,470 --> 00:40:33,090 we just didn't have the same social background. So I think 553 00:40:33,090 --> 00:40:34,680 it's meant something different. 554 00:40:35,790 --> 00:40:39,600 And it shaped the music that was made. After that time, 555 00:40:39,630 --> 00:40:43,620 everything became the artists. We went from self destruction, 556 00:40:43,890 --> 00:40:47,430 to now the rappers become, and we're gonna do another show 557 00:40:47,430 --> 00:40:55,350 about the music. But the rappers became almost prototypes are are 558 00:40:55,380 --> 00:40:56,250 copycats 559 00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,390 of the heroes. Yes, of course. Of course. That's exactly what 560 00:41:00,390 --> 00:41:00,930 it was. 561 00:41:01,109 --> 00:41:06,629 And in this movie, New Jack City, Nino brown lays out the 562 00:41:06,629 --> 00:41:09,509 basic plan how to create a crack enterprise. 563 00:41:09,810 --> 00:41:13,380 Tom's like these people want to get high, real high and real 564 00:41:13,380 --> 00:41:18,360 fast. And this is gonna do it make us 565 00:41:21,870 --> 00:41:27,180 we would people go crazy over this. I mean, really look like 566 00:41:27,300 --> 00:41:28,500 cracked off pieces. 567 00:41:30,150 --> 00:41:33,600 The Colombia's in the Dominicans have shown us the way in shit. 568 00:41:35,070 --> 00:41:38,160 But we're gonna do it differently. Gone are the days 569 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,860 of selling on the street corners. You change the product, 570 00:41:40,890 --> 00:41:44,040 you change the marketing strategy in the future, y'all. 571 00:41:45,570 --> 00:41:47,730 And his name is the car. 572 00:41:48,540 --> 00:41:52,410 Oh, hold on. Oh, that may know the quarter apartments. Big. No, 573 00:41:52,410 --> 00:41:56,610 maybe we talking about combinate and consolidate as well. You 574 00:41:56,610 --> 00:41:59,280 know, they get them taken over the car. Yeah, we've taken over 575 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:03,870 the car. We're gonna bum rush the whole damn thing. Just 576 00:42:03,870 --> 00:42:08,400 imagine if the tenants cooperate. Oh, it's lovely. I 577 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:12,660 mean, they become loyal customers. They don't fucking 578 00:42:12,660 --> 00:42:16,800 dislike and they become living hostages. You can set up a lab 579 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,280 here and make the product Kareem you can hook up the computer 580 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:25,170 system and watch out for workers money. That product. The data 581 00:42:25,170 --> 00:42:28,590 man Keisha needed security force wore off the rival cruise the 582 00:42:28,590 --> 00:42:32,580 screen out the customers. We also need look out here, here, 583 00:42:32,730 --> 00:42:38,310 here. And here. alert us a fireball. One place to make the 584 00:42:38,310 --> 00:42:44,310 product. One place to collect our money. We will own this. 585 00:42:46,050 --> 00:42:50,070 It's so interesting. This is I mean, you can put this same 586 00:42:50,070 --> 00:42:57,390 format right into Eddie Murphy, trading places you can put it 587 00:42:57,390 --> 00:43:01,170 into well, even dolomite, they made this this basic formula of, 588 00:43:01,650 --> 00:43:05,940 okay, I'm gonna go out and I'm going to maybe not drug related, 589 00:43:05,970 --> 00:43:09,240 but it's always like, I'm the entrepreneur and being all you 590 00:43:09,240 --> 00:43:11,400 know, here's Wesley Snipes. He's like, I'm gonna hook up the 591 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,370 computer over here and all this stuff going on. It's always that 592 00:43:14,370 --> 00:43:15,360 kind of format. 593 00:43:17,550 --> 00:43:23,310 It's a system IT systems. Systemic. Yeah. This is not 594 00:43:23,310 --> 00:43:27,030 like, he just had an idea like, Oh, I'm gonna, I'm gonna start a 595 00:43:27,030 --> 00:43:31,260 crack enterprise. You know, this. This a you asked me a 596 00:43:31,260 --> 00:43:36,510 question. You said? Did it just show up overnight? Yeah. So I 597 00:43:36,510 --> 00:43:42,060 saw this movie. And one of the iconic symbols of the crack era 598 00:43:42,090 --> 00:43:46,980 is the cracked bow. You know, the clear, small little Yes, 599 00:43:46,980 --> 00:43:49,830 cylinder thing. And it had two different color tops to it. 600 00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,310 Yeah, that was the that was the the packaging. Right? 601 00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,270 So I saw this in this movie. And I remember going to see my 602 00:43:57,270 --> 00:44:01,230 grandmother she lived she was she lived in low income 603 00:44:01,260 --> 00:44:04,620 apartments because her my grandfather were low income. And 604 00:44:04,620 --> 00:44:07,890 I remember right after this movie walking around her 605 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:12,450 apartment complex and seeing these on the ground. Oh, so your 606 00:44:12,450 --> 00:44:15,240 question was When did it start to show up because like, right. 607 00:44:15,420 --> 00:44:18,780 And in in the bigger cities, I'm from North Carolina. And my 608 00:44:18,780 --> 00:44:23,400 grandma lived in rural North Carolina. So it's time for it to 609 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:28,860 make it to those, those smalls areas. Sure. But that in my 610 00:44:28,860 --> 00:44:33,150 mind, that was like, okay, because we live in a lower 611 00:44:33,150 --> 00:44:37,920 middle. Middle class, lower middle class, working class 612 00:44:38,250 --> 00:44:42,600 community. So you didn't really see there, right? But when I 613 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,600 visit my grandmother, I'm in walk and it's the vivid to this 614 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:49,860 day. And I was like, oh, that's what I saw in the New Jack City 615 00:44:49,860 --> 00:44:54,090 movie being 1011 years old. And that's when it started to show 616 00:44:54,090 --> 00:44:57,270 up and they you hurt people family members. Yeah, they're on 617 00:44:57,270 --> 00:45:01,380 that rock. That's what he's called that rock. Um, names were 618 00:45:01,380 --> 00:45:05,670 called rock stars. And the term it was like it was like a whole 619 00:45:05,670 --> 00:45:09,300 terminology came with it when they would get high and pace 620 00:45:09,300 --> 00:45:14,910 they were called ghostbusting. And it just consumed 621 00:45:15,210 --> 00:45:20,550 it was taught totally made to be cool and turned into popular 622 00:45:20,550 --> 00:45:21,090 culture. 623 00:45:22,290 --> 00:45:27,690 Yes, but it was still still the dead time that and I think this 624 00:45:27,690 --> 00:45:31,200 wall was hidden when you say you went to these parties, smoking 625 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:36,690 crack was a taboo, even though people were doing it and people 626 00:45:36,690 --> 00:45:40,830 were doing cocaine out in the open Yeah, what the crack was 627 00:45:41,010 --> 00:45:46,110 something that was kept secret because it was low class and it 628 00:45:46,110 --> 00:45:47,520 caught a crack head. It's 629 00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,920 really interesting. Yeah, I mean, you started when you think 630 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,890 about it, of course I've never really been I'm pothead but not 631 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:58,380 not a not a druggie. Brian isn't really, there's no there's to me 632 00:45:58,380 --> 00:46:01,860 personally. Snorting something up your nose is pretty damn 633 00:46:01,860 --> 00:46:04,770 disgusting. no worse than smoking something out of a glass 634 00:46:04,770 --> 00:46:06,990 pipe. But yet it had that stigma. 635 00:46:08,130 --> 00:46:10,290 Yeah, cuz you hear nobody say, Oh, they're a coke. Well, you 636 00:46:10,290 --> 00:46:15,030 hear coke head. And you hear crackhead when you compare those 637 00:46:15,030 --> 00:46:19,830 two things, one is to crackheads to fleas broke dirty, right? 638 00:46:20,670 --> 00:46:25,980 Basically homeless. Yeah. Scratching, itching, where? It 639 00:46:25,980 --> 00:46:27,930 was like, oh, it's like a hot rod. 640 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,650 Yeah. Where's where's the bends? Yeah, exactly. Right. 641 00:46:31,830 --> 00:46:36,360 And even in a civics thing, it was the difference, because one 642 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:40,950 was the drug of choice and crack was made from him. Yeah, it was 643 00:46:40,950 --> 00:46:44,280 made to target poor people. Because they're small doses of 644 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:48,480 cheap, low, cost cheap. And it just kept them high all the 645 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,910 time, where cocaine was a more expensive thing. 646 00:46:50,940 --> 00:46:53,880 So just just flashing through my brain, we don't have to talk 647 00:46:53,880 --> 00:47:00,090 about it now. But in California to De Los Angeles, you know, we 648 00:47:00,090 --> 00:47:06,150 have heroin epidemic, and meth, etc. And I'm just wondering, you 649 00:47:06,150 --> 00:47:09,210 know, where the parallels, we don't have to go into it. I'm 650 00:47:09,210 --> 00:47:10,410 just thinking about that. 651 00:47:12,450 --> 00:47:17,100 That's a, that's too big that's covering this. But there is, the 652 00:47:17,100 --> 00:47:19,140 way it's being handled is totally different. And we're 653 00:47:19,140 --> 00:47:22,980 going to see in this and just for people that know what was 654 00:47:22,980 --> 00:47:25,860 going on. Just bear in your mind. You're listening along how 655 00:47:25,890 --> 00:47:28,680 things are handled now as they were handled back then. Right 656 00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:32,190 on. So we're going back to another throwback clip. And this 657 00:47:32,190 --> 00:47:36,390 is from a 1986. Special Report. Then this was the broken 658 00:47:36,390 --> 00:47:38,610 families lead to the streets, you will 659 00:47:38,609 --> 00:47:42,119 find in these neighborhoods, the primetime family of Bill Cosby. 660 00:47:42,419 --> 00:47:45,539 There are successful strong black families in America 661 00:47:45,599 --> 00:47:48,479 families that affirmed parental authority, and the values of 662 00:47:48,479 --> 00:47:51,269 discipline, work and achievement, but not many live 663 00:47:51,269 --> 00:47:55,259 around here. Still, not every girl in the inner city ends up a 664 00:47:55,259 --> 00:47:58,829 teenage mother, not every young man goes into crime. There are 665 00:47:58,829 --> 00:48:02,009 people who have stayed here to fight for these kids. They're 666 00:48:02,009 --> 00:48:05,009 outnumbered by the con artist and pushers. It's not an even 667 00:48:05,009 --> 00:48:08,459 match, but they stand for morality and authority and give 668 00:48:08,459 --> 00:48:18,569 some of these kids a bracing dose of unsentimental love when 669 00:48:18,569 --> 00:48:21,569 their own fathers are missing, kids need someone else to stand 670 00:48:21,569 --> 00:48:25,949 in to practice damage control as the street take over for these 671 00:48:25,949 --> 00:48:29,459 kids, that someone is Detective Shaheed Jackson of the Newark 672 00:48:29,459 --> 00:48:32,969 police. He came by his street smarts the hard way. 673 00:48:33,780 --> 00:48:36,660 Well, I came about in the streets so I know how to get 674 00:48:36,660 --> 00:48:40,260 around a lot of that stuff, man. I guess the older you get, the 675 00:48:40,260 --> 00:48:43,740 more you learn. I was fortunate enough coming up that I never 676 00:48:43,740 --> 00:48:47,850 got caught. And I grew out of the streets but yet I still have 677 00:48:47,850 --> 00:48:49,830 some in the street and there was 678 00:48:49,830 --> 00:48:52,680 a time when he wasn't sure he would make it off those streets. 679 00:48:52,980 --> 00:48:56,460 He was an unmarried father at 18 and he had his share of troubles 680 00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,550 but he was raised by two parents his father was a Baptist 681 00:48:59,550 --> 00:49:02,400 minister and they pushed him to make something of himself 682 00:49:02,970 --> 00:49:06,420 on a Sunday morning on my blog he was the each family almost 683 00:49:06,420 --> 00:49:10,170 coming out going to church you know you don't see that anymore. 684 00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:11,610 The family unity 685 00:49:13,170 --> 00:49:15,030 Yeah, of course broke down. 686 00:49:15,750 --> 00:49:19,710 So I played the throwback clip to show you that the community 687 00:49:19,740 --> 00:49:26,700 was prime for this epidemic you had no man the house had taken 688 00:49:26,700 --> 00:49:30,450 hold for like two three generations at this time. People 689 00:49:30,450 --> 00:49:35,010 were idle people were locked into projects and 690 00:49:36,270 --> 00:49:39,030 disillusioned disodium escape 691 00:49:40,140 --> 00:49:43,080 that's what basically drugs is an escape and not always said 692 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:47,910 this. The super rich and the super poor. There's a 693 00:49:47,910 --> 00:49:51,240 commonality there because when you get sued when you see these 694 00:49:52,620 --> 00:49:55,200 kids come for super rich families. They don't have 695 00:49:55,230 --> 00:49:58,440 anything to worry about they know under drug drugs exactly 696 00:49:58,470 --> 00:50:01,680 being being one mr. Joe Biden's son. I mean, 697 00:50:03,810 --> 00:50:05,910 are there any examples of this? Yeah, 698 00:50:06,390 --> 00:50:10,740 well, I'm just saying that he's not even people to try to stop 699 00:50:10,740 --> 00:50:14,130 this epidemic or supposedly try to stop this epidemic couldn't 700 00:50:14,130 --> 00:50:17,580 escape it. And if you have everything or you have nothing 701 00:50:17,580 --> 00:50:22,230 you looking for something more out of life, a grace Narrandera. 702 00:50:22,230 --> 00:50:24,870 And we're really in the same place. But I played this 703 00:50:24,870 --> 00:50:27,960 throwback clip, like I said before it just to show you the 704 00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:32,610 environment that was ready for this drug to come in and take 705 00:50:32,610 --> 00:50:36,840 hold. Yeah, the timing was perfect. Almost like it was 706 00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:42,630 playing. Let's get at six two. 707 00:50:44,130 --> 00:50:46,080 What have you learned about these kids, 708 00:50:46,530 --> 00:50:52,050 that they need somebody loving? Identify with us because we 709 00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:55,290 excuse especially we don't take any crap. You know, you come in 710 00:50:55,290 --> 00:50:58,350 here, you got to be disciplined, you got to, you know, follow the 711 00:50:58,350 --> 00:51:01,380 rules and regulations. Because when they go out here and deal 712 00:51:01,380 --> 00:51:04,020 with life, they're gonna have to follow rules and regulations and 713 00:51:04,740 --> 00:51:08,310 self control and self esteem. Far more important than a Good 714 00:51:08,310 --> 00:51:12,180 left hook. That says message the kids like Bernard Warwick, but 715 00:51:12,180 --> 00:51:14,370 he's been coaching Bernard for the past four years, 716 00:51:15,030 --> 00:51:18,210 like a big brother, father in between men, but there's been 717 00:51:18,210 --> 00:51:23,130 times when he's gotten me mad, and I've spanked, you know, his 718 00:51:23,130 --> 00:51:26,910 mother knows I'll spank spank him. Because sometimes that's 719 00:51:26,910 --> 00:51:29,820 when a kid needs to know. Freedom is a lot of time 720 00:51:29,820 --> 00:51:33,780 destruction. The more freedom a man has a lot of time he'll just 721 00:51:33,780 --> 00:51:39,000 self destruct. So I try to keep them in a little cage. Somebody 722 00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:43,830 keep them in my homes. Somebody has to say no, yeah, somebody 723 00:51:43,830 --> 00:51:45,060 has to say no, you cannot 724 00:51:45,090 --> 00:51:47,490 do this. A lot of these kids grew up with nobody saying Do 725 00:51:48,150 --> 00:51:50,490 you think it's important for them to have men around? Yeah, I 726 00:51:50,490 --> 00:51:50,880 think, 727 00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:55,170 you know, you have one parent family. And as a mother, she 728 00:51:55,170 --> 00:51:57,900 cannot teach you all of the things that a man can teach his 729 00:51:57,900 --> 00:51:59,160 son, there's no way. 730 00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,580 So where did they learn the routine techniques of just daily 731 00:52:02,610 --> 00:52:05,640 work and living? They don't unless they get it from their 732 00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:07,380 parents get it from the streets? 733 00:52:09,660 --> 00:52:15,690 Is there a common entity amongst the three movies we've looked at 734 00:52:15,690 --> 00:52:20,400 right now? Is there a common ownership a common production? 735 00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,830 Is there? Is there something that is common amongst those 736 00:52:22,830 --> 00:52:27,630 three it is to trace it back to some some form of clear 737 00:52:27,630 --> 00:52:29,370 planning. I haven't 738 00:52:29,370 --> 00:52:32,640 found one smoking gun. But I just think the industry as a 739 00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:36,390 whole because it's weird. The weird thing is you have the 740 00:52:36,420 --> 00:52:42,600 media, the news, telling this story of how destructive this 741 00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:48,870 drug is, or these drugs are, but at the same time you have the 742 00:52:49,470 --> 00:52:57,480 Hollywood branch of media. Glorifying Yes, drugs. And it's 743 00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:02,430 like they're never on the same page. It's not like I said, it's 744 00:53:02,430 --> 00:53:10,800 almost like it's it was a system wide plan to to victimize a 745 00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,440 group of people where they I mean, if you want to cut that 746 00:53:14,130 --> 00:53:18,210 group of people to be the poor, or you want to face the low 747 00:53:18,210 --> 00:53:23,700 income, low income black community, but when they set 748 00:53:23,700 --> 00:53:26,490 these things up and never stays confined to the communities 749 00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:27,720 targeted it, right, but 750 00:53:27,720 --> 00:53:34,620 it has it has anyone ever taken. van Peebles or? Well, Wesley 751 00:53:34,620 --> 00:53:37,500 Snipes got all kinds of problems. He had all kinds of 752 00:53:37,500 --> 00:53:40,260 shit going down. But I mean, there's a lot of people who were 753 00:53:40,260 --> 00:53:44,280 involved Chris Rock. You know, a lot of people were involved with 754 00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:47,070 they have been taken to task over their participation in this 755 00:53:47,070 --> 00:53:47,400 and 756 00:53:48,690 --> 00:53:51,930 not at all, not not even not in the musicians, not the actors. 757 00:53:51,930 --> 00:53:54,360 Nobody. It's just I was trying to work. You know, I was just 758 00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:58,050 trying to any here's a common thing. Like it's better as rap 759 00:53:58,050 --> 00:54:02,040 about or act about and then to actually do it. That's, that's 760 00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:08,130 the Okay, that's what the sanitizer. Oh, yeah. I mean, I 761 00:54:08,130 --> 00:54:10,920 could be out here actually selling crack instead of it 762 00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:11,550 portraying it. 763 00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:15,900 It's so, so amazing that, you know, you had a very powerful 764 00:54:15,900 --> 00:54:21,600 for speaking against this at this time. That was Bill Cosby. 765 00:54:24,690 --> 00:54:28,440 Yes. And it's like, wow, and he and I think there was a lot of 766 00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:31,800 agreement and he had really smart things. You need very, 767 00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:35,370 very smart things he said, and of course, came became somewhat 768 00:54:35,370 --> 00:54:38,490 condescending later on. But in the meantime, we know what he 769 00:54:38,490 --> 00:54:43,290 was up to. It's just everyone's shit. I have no no faith in 770 00:54:43,290 --> 00:54:44,220 anyone anymore. 771 00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:50,940 But what they realize is the bad guy being the good guy is way 772 00:54:50,940 --> 00:54:54,810 more profitable than putting good guys on the screen. Yes, 773 00:54:54,810 --> 00:54:57,450 yes. Yes, yes. So now we 774 00:54:57,450 --> 00:55:01,530 have the propaganda that port That portion that we just came 775 00:55:01,530 --> 00:55:06,810 out of was the propaganda of setting up for the crack era. It 776 00:55:06,810 --> 00:55:10,110 was the priming of the, you know, the community to drop 777 00:55:10,110 --> 00:55:13,320 this, if you want to call it the crack bomb on the community. 778 00:55:13,350 --> 00:55:19,080 Yeah, because we as we know, it was it was done by a very high 779 00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:23,700 up people. But let's get into the 1986 9089 Special Report 780 00:55:23,730 --> 00:55:24,750 crack or one. 781 00:55:25,140 --> 00:55:29,640 CBS News takes you on the street to the warzone for an unusual 782 00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:34,050 two hours of hands on horror. Our focus is on crack, a kind of 783 00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:37,860 cocaine a powerful mind bender and increasingly popular and 784 00:55:37,860 --> 00:55:42,990 deadly. We call our broadcast 48 hours on Crack Street. Gonna be 785 00:55:42,990 --> 00:55:43,920 happy to be around here. 786 00:55:44,940 --> 00:55:50,220 But I mean, you can get it I get the good credit. You just saw 787 00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,620 the man tried to sell me crack right out in the middle of the 788 00:55:52,620 --> 00:55:58,050 street. The camera wasn't even hidden during that sequence. Had 789 00:55:58,050 --> 00:56:01,500 to have seen the camera was right here. And there just 790 00:56:01,530 --> 00:56:04,770 doesn't appear to be any fear of consequence. 791 00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:08,250 It's five o'clock on Wall Street on a Friday afternoon the 792 00:56:08,250 --> 00:56:11,880 business day is ended. The stock exchange is closed. People are 793 00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:15,450 going home. They're going away for the weekend. But business on 794 00:56:15,450 --> 00:56:17,400 the street has an end it's just beginning 795 00:56:22,890 --> 00:56:23,970 to stockbrokers, the 796 00:56:23,970 --> 00:56:29,460 liars, the people who I love cocaine, and I couldn't wait to 797 00:56:29,460 --> 00:56:31,740 get out of college and start working and making money because 798 00:56:31,740 --> 00:56:33,090 I wanted to live that lifestyle. 799 00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:41,400 So this illustrates that it wasn't only black people buying 800 00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:46,470 it. It was people on Wall Street as the gentleman said it was the 801 00:56:46,470 --> 00:56:51,420 stockbrokers the lawyers with the money whenever they create 802 00:56:51,450 --> 00:56:59,460 these traps, their own children, loved ones fall into these 803 00:56:59,460 --> 00:57:08,820 traps. Sure. And I when I say that it even goes for the the 804 00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:13,260 affluent black people. Because like I said, I grew up in a 805 00:57:13,950 --> 00:57:17,490 working class, middle class neighborhood. And you start to 806 00:57:17,490 --> 00:57:20,460 hear whispers Hey, did you hear someone saw was on crack? Did 807 00:57:20,460 --> 00:57:24,990 you hear someone so?

I 810 00:57:31,950 --> 00:57:36,150 mean, I went to a relatively good school. It was just like 811 00:57:36,150 --> 00:57:37,080 wildfire. 812 00:57:37,890 --> 00:57:40,920 So how did it not grab you Mo? 813 00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:43,680 Come my dad would kill me.

Crack is believed to be the most 819 00:58:03,180 --> 00:58:07,260 addictive drug known estimate. 25 million Americans will have 820 00:58:07,260 --> 00:58:11,670 tried some form of cocaine by their mid 20s 1/3 of all college 821 00:58:11,670 --> 00:58:15,510 students will have tried it before they graduate. 5000 More 822 00:58:15,510 --> 00:58:18,270 Americans are trying cocaine each day. 823 00:58:20,610 --> 00:58:24,360 So to answer your question, the other narrative about crack was 824 00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:26,100 one time and your crackhead 825 00:58:26,130 --> 00:58:29,040 Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. And coke coke cookie guy, 826 00:58:29,070 --> 00:58:32,070 you could fly in and out with no problems. No problem. 827 00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:37,530 So I got my dad wanted to kill me on one hand. You tried once. 828 00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:42,390 I mean, drugs in itself was not glorified. I mean, we I mean, 829 00:58:42,390 --> 00:58:46,590 but we it was never seen as a drug either by certain groups of 830 00:58:46,590 --> 00:58:50,250 people. No. Older people. Yeah, I mean, everything was a drug. 831 00:58:52,890 --> 00:58:58,350 But there was a difference there between weed and crack, and that 832 00:58:58,380 --> 00:59:02,040 the narrative was like one try you're a crackhead. And so that 833 00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:03,690 kind of kept me from it. Is that 834 00:59:03,690 --> 00:59:05,760 actually true? I mean, I've always believed that that was 835 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,370 true that you want you smoke crack once and then you're 836 00:59:08,370 --> 00:59:12,360 hooked. i If you asked me without the show, so yeah, then 837 00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:14,940 you're hooked for and real hard to get off it. I don't know if 838 00:59:14,940 --> 00:59:15,570 that's true. 839 00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:19,200 I don't even think has been proven. Now. I mean, say if it's 840 00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:22,650 true or untrue, we wait but it hasn't been proven. But let's 841 00:59:22,650 --> 00:59:29,040 get into so we had these. The propaganda started the first 842 00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:32,880 wing of the propaganda was the movies. The next wing of the 843 00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,790 propaganda once the crack was introduced to the community. 844 00:59:35,790 --> 00:59:38,940 What's the crime stories in the news, so let's get into crime. 845 00:59:38,940 --> 00:59:39,390 Three 846 00:59:39,839 --> 00:59:42,809 boys in critical condition in New York City hospital this 847 00:59:42,809 --> 00:59:46,079 morning with burns over half his body after a drug related 848 00:59:46,079 --> 00:59:49,229 attack.

I give a pass to the people in the 889 01:02:21,270 --> 01:02:24,720 80s that first start smoking crack. The reason why I say that 890 01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:28,290 he had never seen anything like this before. I mean you had 891 01:02:28,290 --> 01:02:32,670 heroin but heroin was something different because it was a 892 01:02:32,670 --> 01:02:37,170 needle and it was you know it was like a junkie drug it had 893 01:02:37,169 --> 01:02:39,719 it had a well I was talking with Joe Rogan about this has had 894 01:02:39,719 --> 01:02:43,799 very bad PR if it was it was not like oh look at all these people 895 01:02:43,799 --> 01:02:47,219 die in and yeah junkie drug exactly that it did not have a 896 01:02:47,219 --> 01:02:48,719 great did not have great PR 897 01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:52,860 and a lot of times people first started getting introduced to 898 01:02:52,860 --> 01:02:55,950 crack by mixing it we That's why I said the whole Whitney Houston 899 01:02:55,950 --> 01:02:58,530 thing that was a status thing that she was saying yeah, my 900 01:02:58,530 --> 01:03:03,450 crack is wack. I don't do crap. A lot of people and I'm speaking 901 01:03:03,450 --> 01:03:06,840 from personal experience of people I personally know they 902 01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:10,200 got introduced not by smoking to rot but it was putting weed 903 01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:15,360 first and they smoked that way and then they didn't addiction 904 01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:21,930 with progress right to flat out smoking crack pipes which I'm 905 01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,270 trying to figure out how to crack pipes were manufactured 906 01:03:24,810 --> 01:03:30,390 like waves this factory making crack pipes is well down first 907 01:03:30,390 --> 01:03:32,370 of all, but I digress on that 908 01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:38,640 I'll bet you dimes to dollars it was coming from China. Just 909 01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:39,000 saying. 910 01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:45,450 So now this is the heli high Galleon dialectic working its 911 01:03:45,450 --> 01:03:48,810 way you have pressure from above and pressure from below. One was 912 01:03:48,810 --> 01:03:53,130 the propaganda of the movie and movie and the film industry 913 01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:58,320 saying how cool it is and making the drug dealers heroes. And now 914 01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:02,280 the pressure from above is coming down with the media, the 915 01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:06,450 news media telling how terrible crack is and how it's basically 916 01:04:06,810 --> 01:04:12,630 turning neighborhoods into war zones. So so this is this is my 917 01:04:12,630 --> 01:04:18,120 plan. I believe this is my hypothesis. That's good. You 918 01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:18,660 want to say something? 919 01:04:18,660 --> 01:04:21,300 No, I'm just shaking my head. Yeah. 920 01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:24,330 So let's get into crime. 4.2 921 01:04:24,540 --> 01:04:28,140 A woman who allegedly smoked crack cocaine just hours before 922 01:04:28,140 --> 01:04:31,560 giving birth, has been charged with giving a drug to her unborn 923 01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:35,280 child. Kimberly Hardy of Muskegon, Michigan faces charges 924 01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:39,090 of second degree child abuse and delivering cocaine. She could be 925 01:04:39,090 --> 01:04:43,650 sentenced to 24 years in prison. similar cases have gone to trial 926 01:04:43,650 --> 01:04:46,500 in the United States this year. Only one ended with a 927 01:04:46,500 --> 01:04:47,010 conviction. 928 01:04:49,980 --> 01:04:53,940 So the outrage is building you have kids being killed. Now you 929 01:04:53,940 --> 01:04:59,610 have the famous crack baby. Yeah, which crack babies is a 930 01:04:59,610 --> 01:05:03,240 real thing and it's something that's very little talked about 931 01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:09,540 because if you think about it, where did they go? Where did 932 01:05:09,540 --> 01:05:12,210 where did the crack babies go? They just kind of blend in into 933 01:05:12,210 --> 01:05:15,540 society. Is this where there's crime? I'm asking I'm asking a 934 01:05:15,540 --> 01:05:17,520 rhetorical question cuz I don't have an answer for it. Well, I 935 01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:21,330 think the Child Protective Services has a big role in this 936 01:05:21,330 --> 01:05:23,400 and and not a positive one. 937 01:05:24,660 --> 01:05:27,720 The Ritalin because these kids were born addicted to drugs. 938 01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:31,140 Yeah. And history. They were 939 01:05:31,470 --> 01:05:35,670 basically they were basically customers who were customers 940 01:05:35,670 --> 01:05:36,570 right out of the womb. 941 01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:43,950 Further question is, where are they now? These are kids that my 942 01:05:43,950 --> 01:05:45,990 age, you're probably doing podcasts. 943 01:05:49,740 --> 01:05:54,330 Nobody asked that question. You know, nobody has an answer for 944 01:05:54,330 --> 01:05:54,720 that quote. 945 01:05:55,260 --> 01:05:58,500 And it's a good question, because you'd almost you could 946 01:05:58,530 --> 01:06:01,590 you could easily put together especially now that these were 947 01:06:01,590 --> 01:06:04,440 the crack babies. I don't know if they're alive, man. 948 01:06:06,990 --> 01:06:11,070 Because you think about it. I was born at these children were 949 01:06:11,070 --> 01:06:16,800 born 85 to 95. Let's say that was like the huge crab era. 950 01:06:16,860 --> 01:06:23,850 Yeah, those kids are 35 to 30 years old. Yeah. So they can 951 01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:31,380 easily have children 15 1015 years or younger? Is this crime 952 01:06:31,380 --> 01:06:33,870 we're seeing in the street is now the second generation of 953 01:06:33,870 --> 01:06:34,680 crack babies. 954 01:06:35,700 --> 01:06:39,270 It's a good question. It's worth looking at. I don't know. I 955 01:06:39,270 --> 01:06:44,070 mean, it. I just wonder how many crack babies actually survived 956 01:06:44,070 --> 01:06:46,080 to go on to lead productive lives. 957 01:06:47,130 --> 01:06:52,380 That yeah, being riddled with, with addiction, such as that is, 958 01:06:52,410 --> 01:06:56,610 yeah, but as we have the narrative grown we it's the slow 959 01:06:56,610 --> 01:07:00,360 drumbeat. You see what's going on? We have crime, we need to do 960 01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:03,690 something about it. And let's continue with crown 3.4 point 961 01:07:03,690 --> 01:07:04,170 three. 962 01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:07,350 In Kansas City, Missouri Police are investigating the shooting 963 01:07:07,350 --> 01:07:11,490 death of an 11 year old boy at a suspected drug house. Frederick 964 01:07:11,490 --> 01:07:14,970 Jones had lived in the house up until a month ago. He went back 965 01:07:14,970 --> 01:07:18,120 with his sister Saturday night to get some belongings as he 966 01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:21,660 opened the door. He was shot dead. A 14 year old boy has been 967 01:07:21,660 --> 01:07:24,360 arrested. But other children in the neighborhood are still 968 01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:24,990 frightened. 969 01:07:27,690 --> 01:07:33,750 And out stay in a house stand a half. I don't want to get shot. 970 01:07:33,930 --> 01:07:37,590 The world is not going right after all. My take care. 971 01:07:42,450 --> 01:07:45,000 Please think Jones may have been shot simply because he didn't 972 01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:46,650 identify himself at the door. 973 01:07:49,410 --> 01:07:54,840 By the way, crack babies is a new name these days was that 974 01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:57,510 neonatal abstinence syndrome. 975 01:07:59,910 --> 01:08:03,930 That must be for the is that for crack babies. The opioid baby's 976 01:08:03,930 --> 01:08:04,380 head 977 01:08:04,380 --> 01:08:08,340 describes a newborn that has been exposed in utero to harmful 978 01:08:08,340 --> 01:08:10,230 drugs or alcohol. 979 01:08:10,980 --> 01:08:14,910 Isn't it amazing how they come up with a politically correct 980 01:08:14,910 --> 01:08:16,260 scientific name? Yeah, 981 01:08:16,860 --> 01:08:22,230 neonatal abstinence syndrome really crack baby cheese. 982 01:08:22,410 --> 01:08:25,410 That's, that's, you know, George Carlin does a bit about that. It 983 01:08:25,410 --> 01:08:28,230 used to be called, he came back from war and he was shell 984 01:08:28,230 --> 01:08:32,580 shocked. And now it's, you know, post traumatic stress disorder. 985 01:08:34,919 --> 01:08:38,639 So it's all about the narrative in the end and the names that 986 01:08:38,639 --> 01:08:43,409 they use in the narratives. So once again, that drumbeat is 987 01:08:43,409 --> 01:08:46,439 growing and I'm going somewhere with this. I'm headed somewhere 988 01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:50,909 with it just for people this wondering But Kron 4.4 989 01:08:51,239 --> 01:08:54,029 They're the youngest victims of the drug crisis the children of 990 01:08:54,029 --> 01:08:56,999 addicts, those born addicted or those suffering, maltreatment 991 01:08:56,999 --> 01:09:00,029 and neglect and cracked households. Last month in 992 01:09:00,029 --> 01:09:02,669 Detroit, a court case offered one of the most shocking 993 01:09:02,669 --> 01:09:06,629 examples of how a child can suffer from parents addiction. A 994 01:09:06,629 --> 01:09:10,799 30 year old woman, Susan bar bear was sentenced for turning 995 01:09:10,799 --> 01:09:16,169 her 13 year old daughter over to the man to be raped in return 996 01:09:16,169 --> 01:09:17,909 for a supply of crack 997 01:09:18,300 --> 01:09:24,900 directions in this case, the reprehensible the act in itself 998 01:09:24,900 --> 01:09:31,980 is terrible. occurs in this fashion from the mother and 999 01:09:32,010 --> 01:09:35,760 child. As I've indicated, it exceeds all bounds. 1000 01:09:40,169 --> 01:09:45,569 So there was we have this steady drumbeat of crime, crime crime 1001 01:09:45,569 --> 01:09:48,059 affect the community and people in the community want to 1002 01:09:48,059 --> 01:09:52,529 answers. People in the community wanted action because these are 1003 01:09:52,529 --> 01:09:55,409 their children being shot. These are their grandchildren being 1004 01:09:55,409 --> 01:10:02,069 born to dependent to drugs. Another common thing I noticed 1005 01:10:02,069 --> 01:10:06,479 when I was of the age, a lot of grandparents would have to raise 1006 01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:12,149 their grandchildren. Yes. So you have a single old lady 5060s 1007 01:10:12,149 --> 01:10:17,399 years old, with a newborn baby. Yeah. This was a common occur. I 1008 01:10:17,399 --> 01:10:20,549 mean, this was very common. A lot of my grandmother's friends 1009 01:10:20,819 --> 01:10:24,629 had to take on their, their grandchildren due to this 1010 01:10:24,629 --> 01:10:25,199 epidemic. 1011 01:10:25,350 --> 01:10:28,320 Now, I'm sure people were clued into what was going on. Did they 1012 01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:32,250 not see the systemic nature of this? Or was it just so vast and 1013 01:10:32,250 --> 01:10:37,170 so overwhelming that there really was no, you couldn't see 1014 01:10:37,170 --> 01:10:39,480 the forest through the trees? I guess. It's 1015 01:10:39,810 --> 01:10:42,540 the words right out my mouth was gonna use that same analogy, 1016 01:10:42,570 --> 01:10:46,440 right? It happened so fast that you were like, it's like being 1017 01:10:46,440 --> 01:10:48,870 dropped off in the forest. You didn't walk into the forest. 1018 01:10:48,870 --> 01:10:52,110 He's like, somebody dropped you into your there, got it. And 1019 01:10:52,170 --> 01:10:57,000 look around. It's just like, everything is changing. This is 1020 01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:59,790 when you hear like, I'm not referring to my grandparents a 1021 01:10:59,790 --> 01:11:04,260 lot. But this was the difference in generation. They grew up 1022 01:11:04,260 --> 01:11:07,410 where you didn't have to lock your doors at night. Now you 1023 01:11:07,410 --> 01:11:12,570 start to see the bars going to Windows. Yeah. It'd be these 1024 01:11:12,570 --> 01:11:16,950 neighborhoods literally became prisons, because you were living 1025 01:11:16,950 --> 01:11:21,780 in households with bars on the doors and bars on the windows 1026 01:11:21,780 --> 01:11:26,040 and three to four locks on your doors. But there was one death, 1027 01:11:26,370 --> 01:11:30,570 there was one death. They brought this whole thing to a 1028 01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:35,100 comics and it's covered by the historic controversies with 1029 01:11:35,370 --> 01:11:36,390 Chris Calton. 1030 01:11:39,869 --> 01:11:44,069 On June 18 1986, a young basketball player named Dylan 1031 01:11:44,069 --> 01:11:48,419 bias was celebrating. The Boston Celtics had recently selected 1032 01:11:48,419 --> 01:11:52,469 him as their first round draft pick, and Reebok offered him a 1033 01:11:52,469 --> 01:11:56,459 multimillion dollar deal. Even before he played in the NBA, he 1034 01:11:56,459 --> 01:12:00,689 was a national star. That night, he went to lie down saying he 1035 01:12:00,689 --> 01:12:04,349 didn't feel well and he never woke up at 855 in the morning on 1036 01:12:04,349 --> 01:12:08,249 June 19th. He was pronounced dead from heart failure. The 1037 01:12:08,249 --> 01:12:11,519 autopsy revealed that there was cocaine in his system, and the 1038 01:12:11,519 --> 01:12:15,359 ramifications from this would be enormous. Now it's worth 1039 01:12:15,359 --> 01:12:18,089 clarifying here that the medical examiner's did attribute the 1040 01:12:18,089 --> 01:12:21,149 cocaine was death. I've heard some people argue that they 1041 01:12:21,149 --> 01:12:24,029 never concluded that cocaine was the cause of his death only that 1042 01:12:24,029 --> 01:12:26,669 it was in a system that the medical examiner's did conclude 1043 01:12:26,909 --> 01:12:30,419 that cocaine overdose was the cause of death. However, the 1044 01:12:30,419 --> 01:12:33,539 media and the government jumped on a few things about the story 1045 01:12:33,539 --> 01:12:36,809 that are under dispute. One is that Lynn bias was smoking 1046 01:12:36,809 --> 01:12:39,899 crack. In reality, they don't know how he consumed the 1047 01:12:39,899 --> 01:12:43,349 cocaine, but it probably wasn't crack one report speculated he 1048 01:12:43,349 --> 01:12:46,229 could have smoked Freebase cocaine. No, that wasn't really 1049 01:12:46,229 --> 01:12:49,829 popular in 1986. But others said he either snorted it or 1050 01:12:49,829 --> 01:12:53,699 swallowed it in a drink. Nobody knows exactly how he consumed 1051 01:12:53,699 --> 01:12:56,579 the cocaine. But I personally remember being taught in school 1052 01:12:56,579 --> 01:12:59,699 that he smoked crack and his death occurred right after crack 1053 01:12:59,699 --> 01:13:02,639 was starting to make national news. So it was a convenient 1054 01:13:02,639 --> 01:13:03,809 narrative to jump on. 1055 01:13:04,199 --> 01:13:07,619 Oh, yeah. Is this where Nancy jumps in? 1056 01:13:08,909 --> 01:13:10,769 Nancy Reagan, 1057 01:13:11,250 --> 01:13:13,500 this is where the war on drugs came in. This is 1058 01:13:13,500 --> 01:13:17,730 where the war of drugs starts to begin. So Len bias. Just for 1059 01:13:17,730 --> 01:13:20,070 reference, I want to give people have you heard of limb bias? 1060 01:13:20,430 --> 01:13:25,020 Yes, yes. I'm sure you have. But just to give people a reference 1061 01:13:25,050 --> 01:13:30,210 of limb bias. Imagine LeBron James when he first got drafted. 1062 01:13:30,210 --> 01:13:35,700 And before he even plays in the NBA dies of a crack overdose. He 1063 01:13:35,700 --> 01:13:39,300 was the equivalent of what a LeBron James is now right before 1064 01:13:39,300 --> 01:13:42,930 he became super famous, but the potential Oh, yeah, I mean, this 1065 01:13:42,930 --> 01:13:46,290 guy was amazing. I mean, he was, he's gonna be better than 1066 01:13:46,290 --> 01:13:49,680 Jordan, because they came out came out about the same time on 1067 01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:52,860 a college. And that was a comparison then boom, he was 1068 01:13:52,860 --> 01:13:56,430 wake up more than one morning, he's dead. Anything in the store 1069 01:13:56,430 --> 01:14:02,310 is a smoke crack for the first time. And he's dead. Hmm. 1070 01:14:03,090 --> 01:14:06,690 So of course, we we aren't, we aren't intended to know what 1071 01:14:06,690 --> 01:14:09,270 really happened because a narrative was created. And 1072 01:14:09,270 --> 01:14:12,390 that's it. And actually, it's I'm reading here now, the len 1073 01:14:12,390 --> 01:14:17,370 bias law. There, yes, there you go. 1074 01:14:18,119 --> 01:14:19,439 Let's get into part two. 1075 01:14:19,710 --> 01:14:22,890 The primary reason that it was reported that he used cocaine 1076 01:14:22,890 --> 01:14:26,310 for the first time was that the media and the government had 1077 01:14:26,340 --> 01:14:30,270 already been cultivating an image of cocaine use that it was 1078 01:14:30,450 --> 01:14:34,650 instantly addictive. So using cocaine and crack one time could 1079 01:14:34,650 --> 01:14:37,770 make him completely addicted. I also remember being taught this 1080 01:14:37,770 --> 01:14:40,320 when I was younger, but it's completely untrue. That 1081 01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:43,620 narrative about cocaine addiction is an absolute 1082 01:14:43,650 --> 01:14:47,190 fabrication. Part of the reason it was easy to spread this 1083 01:14:47,190 --> 01:14:50,310 narrative in the case of Lynn bias is because prior to his 1084 01:14:50,310 --> 01:14:54,090 overdose, the media was presenting him as this squeaky 1085 01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:57,810 clean kid from a good family. So they just concluded that this 1086 01:14:57,810 --> 01:15:01,320 must have been his first time using cocaine. same regardless 1087 01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:04,620 of the actual specific circumstances of Lynn biases 1088 01:15:04,620 --> 01:15:08,640 death, this was the exact kind of catastrophe, the government 1089 01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:12,150 couldn't let go to waste. On the morning that his death was 1090 01:15:12,150 --> 01:15:15,600 reported in the press. Lynn bias was all anybody could talk about 1091 01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:19,020 in Congress. Tip O'Neill, the Democratic Representative of 1092 01:15:19,020 --> 01:15:22,140 Boston, who was the Speaker of the House at the time, was 1093 01:15:22,140 --> 01:15:26,580 screaming for blood, there had better be some anti cocaine 1094 01:15:26,580 --> 01:15:29,340 legislation. And that had better not be something that the 1095 01:15:29,340 --> 01:15:33,150 Republicans could take sole credit for. With the death of 1096 01:15:33,150 --> 01:15:37,110 Lynn bias, the cocaine scare of the 1980s had reached its 1097 01:15:37,110 --> 01:15:37,710 apogee. 1098 01:15:40,140 --> 01:15:45,270 And this is where everything changed. Yes. Now you see the 1099 01:15:45,270 --> 01:15:48,420 pressure from above pressure from below. They needed a 1100 01:15:48,420 --> 01:15:53,730 narrative. But before we continue, I think it's a great 1101 01:15:53,730 --> 01:15:55,500 time to take a pause. 1102 01:15:55,619 --> 01:15:58,799 I like money. I don't know if you do but I don't mind. This 1103 01:15:59,159 --> 01:16:01,529 is just what the pause you were looking for. Yes, this 1104 01:16:01,530 --> 01:16:09,060 is not all diseases on it. I like new money. And when I give 1105 01:16:10,410 --> 01:16:13,710 when I give things to people, I like to give stacks of money. 1106 01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:20,190 It's fun. You ever had a stack of new money? You haven't 1107 01:16:21,090 --> 01:16:23,850 had you? A little snack? Oh. 1108 01:16:28,529 --> 01:16:32,339 And so I made the on the big stack was brand new in that I 1109 01:16:32,339 --> 01:16:34,589 like brand new money. I just I don't want any money around me. 1110 01:16:34,589 --> 01:16:39,809 It's not. I don't want to have a new one than a brand than an old 1111 01:16:39,809 --> 01:16:43,289 20. That's kind of dumb. But there's something about new 1112 01:16:43,289 --> 01:16:49,649 money that excites you like bills. owe money to Oh, most 1113 01:16:49,649 --> 01:16:52,409 beautiful thing on earth is $100. Bill I have seen a woman 1114 01:16:52,409 --> 01:16:56,309 is good looking at $100 bill that excites you. 1115 01:16:56,699 --> 01:17:05,129 That's right, everybody. It's time for racks and stacks. This 1116 01:17:05,129 --> 01:17:08,879 is a show that is done completely under the value for 1117 01:17:08,879 --> 01:17:13,259 value system. Which means it's free for everybody to download 1118 01:17:13,259 --> 01:17:16,229 listen to subscribe to any way you want to do it. It's all 1119 01:17:16,229 --> 01:17:21,599 good. Anywhere anyhow, there's never a charge. It's also zero 1120 01:17:21,599 --> 01:17:25,109 commercial money, corporate money, no advertising at all, 1121 01:17:25,259 --> 01:17:28,859 for the simple reason that well guess I have a feeling a show 1122 01:17:28,859 --> 01:17:31,619 like this wouldn't go over too well with a lot of advertisers, 1123 01:17:31,649 --> 01:17:35,249 any advertisers, quite frankly, because you just can't discuss 1124 01:17:35,249 --> 01:17:39,269 things freely and openly. So we need to resort to asking you if 1125 01:17:39,269 --> 01:17:42,119 you find this valuable. I know I think I know where this is 1126 01:17:42,119 --> 01:17:47,759 going. So I think that people will be incredibly blown away by 1127 01:17:47,759 --> 01:17:51,839 the the crescendo of this particular show. And it 1128 01:17:51,959 --> 01:17:55,379 typically is very valuable to people, I'm here learning a lot 1129 01:17:55,379 --> 01:17:58,769 and I hope that you are if it's of any value, just turn that 1130 01:17:58,769 --> 01:18:03,869 into some numbers, as many ways to send us some money. You just 1131 01:18:03,869 --> 01:18:06,689 go to moe facts.com, the donation page and we have a 1132 01:18:06,689 --> 01:18:13,169 direct link mo fund me.com.

I'm bumping them up a little bit. The first 1138 01:18:31,859 --> 01:18:36,059 one is Sir fly not from no agenda. And we're familiar with 1139 01:18:36,059 --> 01:18:41,369 this name. His little note here and he donated $199.80 I'm not 1140 01:18:41,369 --> 01:18:45,209 sure exactly. What am I supposed to know what this number means? 1141 01:18:47,730 --> 01:18:48,540 I'm not sure. 1142 01:18:49,860 --> 01:18:52,920 I like it though.

Please keep it up. Thank you, sir flying out. I 1153 01:19:25,620 --> 01:19:29,370 think he's nailing it with that analysis. Absolutely.

So now we're at the max point of attention for this with 1245 01:25:10,739 --> 01:25:13,709 the death of limb bias. And I want to bring in another 1246 01:25:13,709 --> 01:25:17,519 throwback clip. And this is from the series rock that was on Fox. 1247 01:25:17,819 --> 01:25:21,299 And this is from the episode nightmare on Emerson Street. 1248 01:25:21,779 --> 01:25:23,909 I got a nice little thing going across the street, you 1249 01:25:23,909 --> 01:25:27,869 understand? And I don't need somebody like you messing things 1250 01:25:27,869 --> 01:25:30,329 up with you live phone calls to the police and you know, stupid 1251 01:25:30,329 --> 01:25:35,549 ass block parties. This ain't none of your damn business, man. 1252 01:25:37,019 --> 01:25:39,449 You understand? I'm trying to get paid you understand? And I 1253 01:25:39,449 --> 01:25:44,789 don't need you but into my affairs. I thought this was a 1254 01:25:44,789 --> 01:25:46,379 nice neighborhood man was 1255 01:25:46,380 --> 01:25:50,070 a nice neighborhood. It's always been a nice neighborhood. 1256 01:25:50,489 --> 01:25:53,699 Yo, I hear what you're saying, brother. But I'm a business man. 1257 01:25:53,699 --> 01:25:55,109 You know what I mean? Businessman. 1258 01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:57,210 That's right. So what you call yourself you ain't no 1259 01:25:57,210 --> 01:26:01,140 businessman. You're murderer. And you're killing your own 1260 01:26:01,140 --> 01:26:04,080 people. And you may have done your killing someplace else, but 1261 01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:09,570 it didn't happen in here. I don't think I made myself clear. 1262 01:26:10,320 --> 01:26:13,590 I don't want your drugs. I don't want your money. I want your 1263 01:26:13,590 --> 01:26:18,120 sorry ass out of my house and off my street. You got to stop 1264 01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:21,540 this now. I don't think you want to do this. Oh, yeah. I've been 1265 01:26:21,540 --> 01:26:23,040 wanting to do this ever since you moved 1266 01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:25,050 off. I don't think you want to find one of these loved ones 1267 01:26:25,050 --> 01:26:26,520 yours and when it was garbage cans you pick 1268 01:26:29,699 --> 01:26:33,719 if you'd have so much as look in that direction. I'll run down 1269 01:26:33,719 --> 01:26:34,019 how 1270 01:26:37,050 --> 01:26:41,940 crazy I am. That was a Charles Charles Dutton. Yeah, Charles is 1271 01:26:41,940 --> 01:26:43,440 done. Yes. Yeah, I 1272 01:26:43,829 --> 01:26:47,759 I remember this show. I remember. It was very good, 1273 01:26:47,759 --> 01:26:48,359 actually. 1274 01:26:48,659 --> 01:26:53,459 Fantastic. Fantastic show and they actually did a several of 1275 01:26:53,459 --> 01:27:05,279 the years live would do it live. Oh, 1276 01:27:05,280 --> 01:27:07,140 I think I remember that. 1277 01:27:08,010 --> 01:27:12,180 So had Jamie Foxx and a lot. Yeah. 1278 01:27:12,180 --> 01:27:15,330 I mean, this was a weird I was you know, I was transitioning 1279 01:27:15,330 --> 01:27:19,680 into Internet man from MTV guy. So you know, it was a lot going 1280 01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:21,480 on. But I do remember this. Oh, yeah. 1281 01:27:22,860 --> 01:27:25,890 And the reason why I played this is the show the frustration of 1282 01:27:25,890 --> 01:27:28,770 the people living in the neighborhood. Because this was 1283 01:27:28,770 --> 01:27:32,550 happening in real time. He was making this show as what was 1284 01:27:32,550 --> 01:27:34,710 going on in the city of Baltimore. 1285 01:27:34,830 --> 01:27:37,500 It's It's amazing that he was allowed to do that, that they 1286 01:27:37,500 --> 01:27:38,520 put it on the air. 1287 01:27:38,970 --> 01:27:42,270 It was and it's amazing that we don't have any more shows like 1288 01:27:44,699 --> 01:27:46,049 wonder why that is? 1289 01:27:46,470 --> 01:27:52,290 We regressing How weird. Okay, but it showed the frustration of 1290 01:27:52,290 --> 01:27:54,390 the citizens living in the neighborhood. They were being 1291 01:27:54,390 --> 01:27:58,140 held hostage. They couldn't walk up and down their streets. Their 1292 01:27:58,350 --> 01:28:03,870 communities were becoming war zones. Yeah. And they turned to 1293 01:28:03,870 --> 01:28:07,620 their Boulais politicians. And I think I explained this on the 1294 01:28:07,620 --> 01:28:10,860 last show, and that was really the genesis in the motivation 1295 01:28:11,010 --> 01:28:15,000 for making this show. They said we have to do something and it's 1296 01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:18,240 community. My kids can't walk down the street kids getting hit 1297 01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:24,510 by random bullets. My property is being vandalized and 1298 01:28:24,510 --> 01:28:29,340 burglarized by crack addicts. You have to do something. And 1299 01:28:29,340 --> 01:28:34,230 those Boulais politicians. Their solution was the 94 crime bill. 1300 01:28:34,890 --> 01:28:39,600 For 25 years after the 1994 crime bill was enacted. We are 1301 01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:43,410 still having conversations about the importance and significance 1302 01:28:43,410 --> 01:28:43,980 of the bill. 1303 01:28:44,250 --> 01:28:49,950 That 1994 crime bill. It. It did contribute to mass incarceration 1304 01:28:49,950 --> 01:28:51,030 in our country. It's 1305 01:28:51,029 --> 01:28:55,949 important that people remember the context of the political 1306 01:28:55,949 --> 01:28:59,039 environment in the early 1990s. 1307 01:28:59,310 --> 01:29:01,440 The other big piece of legislation on Capitol Hill 1308 01:29:01,440 --> 01:29:02,790 tonight is the crime bill. 1309 01:29:03,029 --> 01:29:07,079 Now violent crime peaked in 1991. And the drafters of the 1310 01:29:07,079 --> 01:29:10,739 bill didn't know that in 1993 and 1994, when they were 1311 01:29:10,739 --> 01:29:14,999 drafting and finding urban areas, urban cities across the 1312 01:29:14,999 --> 01:29:19,739 country were ravaged by crack cocaine, and Americans were 1313 01:29:19,739 --> 01:29:24,749 afraid of crime. The 1994 crime bill was signed by President 1314 01:29:24,749 --> 01:29:28,229 Bill Clinton. This was a pretty significant bill at the time. 1315 01:29:28,259 --> 01:29:33,029 And President Clinton and Senator Biden at the time our 1316 01:29:33,029 --> 01:29:34,949 right back a bill with significant the 1317 01:29:34,949 --> 01:29:40,679 most significant federal effort to deal with violent crime in 1318 01:29:40,679 --> 01:29:44,159 America that has ever undertaken it 1319 01:29:44,160 --> 01:29:51,120 was important for a Democrat at the time to be seen as taking a 1320 01:29:51,120 --> 01:29:57,330 significant role in trying to reduce crime and violence in the 1321 01:29:57,330 --> 01:29:58,140 United States. 1322 01:29:59,130 --> 01:30:01,950 I don't know how deep your We're going to go into the into the 1323 01:30:01,950 --> 01:30:08,340 crime bill itself, but nothing bothers me more in today's in 1324 01:30:08,340 --> 01:30:13,320 today's politics in particular, you know what, Super Tuesday and 1325 01:30:13,620 --> 01:30:20,640 South Carolina did this the Joe Biden's relationship to the 94. 1326 01:30:21,060 --> 01:30:24,930 Actually, the full title was Violent Crime Control and Law 1327 01:30:24,960 --> 01:30:30,240 Enforcement Act is always like, Well, yeah, you know, yes, I was 1328 01:30:30,240 --> 01:30:36,510 part of that. No. Key wrote this. Joe Biden wrote this bill, 1329 01:30:36,510 --> 01:30:41,280 I know what no one brings. I don't see any black people on 1330 01:30:41,280 --> 01:30:45,990 television saying those words Joe Biden wrote that bill not 1331 01:30:45,990 --> 01:30:48,930 not involved no wrote he wrote it? 1332 01:30:50,369 --> 01:30:54,959 Well, I have to listen to you have to listen to black podcast, 1333 01:30:55,379 --> 01:30:59,669 the new what is termed the new Black Media. These This is the 1334 01:30:59,669 --> 01:31:02,819 only people that's gonna hold him responsible because the 1335 01:31:02,819 --> 01:31:06,869 establishment Democrats, the Boulais politician they won't do 1336 01:31:06,899 --> 01:31:10,079 are going to protect they're going to protect Joe Biden, as 1337 01:31:10,079 --> 01:31:14,099 you saw with a Jim Clyburn cut, con con Barry, I believe is how 1338 01:31:14,099 --> 01:31:17,789 I pronounce it. In South Carolina. He has wrote off all 1339 01:31:17,789 --> 01:31:21,089 of Joe's sins is like, Oh, great. 1340 01:31:21,120 --> 01:31:25,230 Now, I'm Black Twitter, black black podcast, which I think is 1341 01:31:25,230 --> 01:31:27,360 a different app. I got to figure it out. And what I need to 1342 01:31:27,360 --> 01:31:34,410 download is, is this being said this clearly is I mean, well, 1343 01:31:34,410 --> 01:31:39,090 how about how about Kleiber? Is he being taken to task because I 1344 01:31:39,090 --> 01:31:42,330 think his endorsement of Biden made it happen. 1345 01:31:43,439 --> 01:31:46,559 He's the biggest butter biscuit eater there is. 1346 01:31:47,970 --> 01:31:57,270 And the next question is, why are people's memories so flawed? 1347 01:31:57,270 --> 01:32:03,150 Or is it what is going on that a single African American comes 1348 01:32:03,780 --> 01:32:09,150 into a single person from the poor neighborhood of this era? 1349 01:32:09,180 --> 01:32:14,550 Maybe that's more fair. I mean, where's the outrage? Is it just 1350 01:32:14,550 --> 01:32:17,010 being completely suppressed because the media is not doing 1351 01:32:17,010 --> 01:32:17,580 anything? 1352 01:32:18,960 --> 01:32:19,950 Crime Bill Two, 1353 01:32:20,670 --> 01:32:24,600 at the time, the Congressional Black Caucus was part of the 1354 01:32:24,600 --> 01:32:28,830 debate around the crime bill. And the Congressional Black 1355 01:32:28,830 --> 01:32:33,960 Caucus didn't want every provision that was included in 1356 01:32:33,960 --> 01:32:38,940 this bill, it became clear that the provisions in the 94 crime 1357 01:32:38,940 --> 01:32:41,850 bill, were going to be a political compromise. And so the 1358 01:32:41,850 --> 01:32:45,840 history is much more complicated and is sometimes portrayed by 1359 01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:49,500 the media. Now, what did the bill do, just like a lot of 1360 01:32:49,500 --> 01:32:53,130 political compromises, there was a good and there was the bad. 1361 01:32:53,190 --> 01:32:57,870 For example, the bill eliminated 19 types of semi automatic 1362 01:32:57,870 --> 01:33:02,670 assault weapons, it also provided huge amounts of funding 1363 01:33:02,700 --> 01:33:09,240 to hire Cops 100,000 Cops For funded was about $14 million at 1364 01:33:09,240 --> 01:33:12,600 the time for community policing. The bill also enacted the 1365 01:33:12,600 --> 01:33:15,690 Violence Against Women Act that provided funding to protect 1366 01:33:16,080 --> 01:33:20,070 women and victims of domestic violence and crimes against 1367 01:33:20,070 --> 01:33:24,360 women. But the most pernicious provision of the 1994 crime 1368 01:33:24,360 --> 01:33:32,100 bill, was it $12 billion that was authorized for states across 1369 01:33:32,100 --> 01:33:35,490 the country that would enact what's called Truth in 1370 01:33:35,490 --> 01:33:40,230 sentencing laws. That funding literally paid states to 1371 01:33:40,260 --> 01:33:44,430 increase the number of prison beds that they allocated for 1372 01:33:44,850 --> 01:33:48,180 individuals convicted of violent crime in this country to serve 1373 01:33:48,240 --> 01:33:52,500 85% of their sentences behind bars. The reason that provision 1374 01:33:52,500 --> 01:33:54,960 is so important, and the reason we're still talking about it 1375 01:33:54,960 --> 01:33:59,340 today, is the federal government essentially subsidized states 1376 01:33:59,370 --> 01:34:02,280 across the country to build more prisons. 1377 01:34:03,239 --> 01:34:06,029 Yeah, and I think it was, I think it was more than 18 1378 01:34:06,029 --> 01:34:09,509 billion I recall it being more and this this, of course, 1379 01:34:09,509 --> 01:34:14,729 spawned the cops, the Community Oriented Policing Services. That 1380 01:34:15,089 --> 01:34:19,799 was that was the acronym and mass incarceration, of course, 1381 01:34:19,859 --> 01:34:25,409 of course, and death penalty 60 New death penalties, including 1382 01:34:25,949 --> 01:34:28,019 drug offenses is nuts. 1383 01:34:29,160 --> 01:34:32,820 Now, that clip was fully loaded with a lot of stuff, so we might 1384 01:34:32,820 --> 01:34:37,020 need to go back and maybe listen to it again. I don't know. But 1385 01:34:37,020 --> 01:34:40,110 one thing you asked you said Why is nobody pointing the fingers 1386 01:34:40,140 --> 01:34:44,790 in the mainstream? Yeah. Why is nobody pointing fingers at Joe 1387 01:34:44,790 --> 01:34:48,510 Biden? Well, if you're a member of the Black Caucus at that 1388 01:34:48,510 --> 01:34:52,290 time, if you point fingers at Joe Biden, the you're pointing 1389 01:34:52,290 --> 01:34:53,460 fingers at yourself? 1390 01:34:53,699 --> 01:34:55,979 Yes, because they were clearly involved. 1391 01:34:57,090 --> 01:35:00,120 They were they were asking for it. You got to do something. And 1392 01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:04,620 now, I want to go back just a little bit. And that's why I 1393 01:35:04,620 --> 01:35:09,150 played them. A throwback clip, broken families lead to the 1394 01:35:09,150 --> 01:35:13,410 streets. The reason why I play that is that gentleman that was 1395 01:35:13,410 --> 01:35:16,680 interacting with those kids was a police officer. And if you use 1396 01:35:16,740 --> 01:35:21,030 these officers, police officers from the community, then they 1397 01:35:21,030 --> 01:35:24,390 have empathy and sympathy for the people they're trying to 1398 01:35:24,390 --> 01:35:29,730 police. Sure. Well, you go a mass hire policemen from outside 1399 01:35:29,730 --> 01:35:35,100 the community, and you weaponize them with military. Yeah, that 1400 01:35:35,100 --> 01:35:39,270 can air doors off, and then you turn around on top of that, and 1401 01:35:39,270 --> 01:35:44,820 build a $12 billion worth of new prison beds. Who's gonna fill 1402 01:35:44,820 --> 01:35:45,510 those beds? 1403 01:35:45,810 --> 01:35:50,790 And people who listen to this show, you need to you need to 1404 01:35:51,270 --> 01:35:54,690 tell people to listen to this podcast, you really do because 1405 01:35:54,690 --> 01:35:58,470 the way it is passed on? It's so embarrassing. Well, that was 1406 01:35:58,470 --> 01:36:02,790 Yeah, that wasn't good. Fuck wasn't good, was atrocious 1407 01:36:02,790 --> 01:36:03,480 application. 1408 01:36:03,870 --> 01:36:07,050 That's the that's the terminal and this problem, and 1409 01:36:07,050 --> 01:36:10,050 no, it was problematic. That's that's 1410 01:36:10,800 --> 01:36:14,130 the tiredness report to us. But it was complicated. Complicated. 1411 01:36:14,130 --> 01:36:17,340 Yeah. Now, if you're a politician that made it to the 1412 01:36:17,760 --> 01:36:21,510 national level of politics, somebody says we want to build 1413 01:36:21,510 --> 01:36:25,830 $12 billion worth for new prisons. First of all, you ask, 1414 01:36:25,860 --> 01:36:28,500 how are you going to put in those prisons, I mean, empty 1415 01:36:28,500 --> 01:36:32,190 prisons don't make any money and they don't serve any purpose. So 1416 01:36:32,250 --> 01:36:35,850 obviously, you have an idea to lock people up. But then on top 1417 01:36:35,850 --> 01:36:40,560 of that, they're gonna have to serve 85% of their, of their 1418 01:36:40,560 --> 01:36:43,860 Senate. So now we're not only going to fill the bed, but we're 1419 01:36:43,860 --> 01:36:45,870 going to ensure they stay field but also 1420 01:36:45,870 --> 01:36:52,560 the the prisons were commercial enterprises. This is the 1421 01:36:52,590 --> 01:36:56,760 correctional was a Corrections Corporation of America think 1422 01:36:56,760 --> 01:37:02,040 it's CCA. And it even came up in a debate the other day that Tom 1423 01:37:02,040 --> 01:37:04,920 Steyer had actually purchased one of these commercial prison 1424 01:37:04,950 --> 01:37:08,520 companies. And I guess once he decided to run against Orange 1425 01:37:08,520 --> 01:37:11,340 Man bad, he's like, Oh, I have to sell that. That's no good. 1426 01:37:11,610 --> 01:37:15,030 But a bunch of hypocrite douchebags. Unbelievable. 1427 01:37:15,629 --> 01:37:20,099 And a lot of these Boulais saw a great investment opportunity. 1428 01:37:20,459 --> 01:37:24,119 Yeah, he's I take this money and made it was political capital 1429 01:37:24,119 --> 01:37:27,599 and real capital, because I could take this money. They're 1430 01:37:27,599 --> 01:37:31,049 gonna build into prisons, I can, and they become investment. I 1431 01:37:31,049 --> 01:37:36,479 can invest in them. I pretty much do what my constituents 1432 01:37:36,479 --> 01:37:40,559 want by cleaning up the streets, but not realizing whether they 1433 01:37:40,559 --> 01:37:44,429 ignored it or didn't truly didn't realize it, that you're 1434 01:37:44,429 --> 01:37:47,399 going to be locking up to your constituents, kids and 1435 01:37:47,399 --> 01:37:51,239 grandkids. Yeah, yeah. And nephews and nieces. And you 1436 01:37:51,239 --> 01:37:58,769 know, so, yeah. But this was all one big plan. And now they try 1437 01:37:58,769 --> 01:38:02,819 to cover up for it, because a lot of them have dirt on their 1438 01:38:02,819 --> 01:38:04,649 hands. And I'm sorry, I'm sorry. 1439 01:38:04,650 --> 01:38:07,800 I'm sorry. Let me start. Let me just enter up. The plan, you say 1440 01:38:07,800 --> 01:38:13,230 was one big plan, but it was really the Black Caucus? That 1441 01:38:13,230 --> 01:38:18,420 pushed for it? Correct. They have no power. Right. But they 1442 01:38:18,420 --> 01:38:22,170 wanted it that they started they start the conversation. They 1443 01:38:22,170 --> 01:38:25,590 start it was like we need this. We need this or where do we know 1444 01:38:25,590 --> 01:38:26,850 the real Genesis? 1445 01:38:27,449 --> 01:38:30,539 The conversation came from the citizens living in the community 1446 01:38:30,539 --> 01:38:34,889 saying you need to do something right. The problem wasn't that 1447 01:38:35,099 --> 01:38:37,589 there was a solution. The problem was the solution they 1448 01:38:37,589 --> 01:38:42,989 chose. It wasn't community policing. It wasn't how they're 1449 01:38:42,989 --> 01:38:44,849 handling the opioid addiction. Now, 1450 01:38:45,450 --> 01:38:49,380 let's, let's throw $30 billion at this and let's get some 1451 01:38:49,650 --> 01:38:57,810 basically rent a cops, you know, hire us. What's the what's the 1452 01:38:58,110 --> 01:39:01,080 analogy I'm looking for? Like the mercenaries? 1453 01:39:01,590 --> 01:39:04,380 Yeah, there were mercenaries. And like I said, they were 1454 01:39:04,380 --> 01:39:08,940 really militarized because in first clip, I believed the guy 1455 01:39:08,940 --> 01:39:11,340 said, Have you ever seen the opal clip? Straight out of 1456 01:39:11,340 --> 01:39:14,610 Compton? Yeah, it was a tank that had tanks that could rip 1457 01:39:14,610 --> 01:39:19,740 bars off of windows, doors, and it's like, bad enough. And this 1458 01:39:19,740 --> 01:39:22,410 is a time everybody wants to talk about post traumatic stress 1459 01:39:22,680 --> 01:39:26,610 syndrome. Now imagine you live in a neighborhood where gangs 1460 01:39:26,610 --> 01:39:29,580 are trying to keep you safe. If you're straight. If it's me, 1461 01:39:29,760 --> 01:39:32,820 it's put me in that community. I'm just wanting to go to school 1462 01:39:32,820 --> 01:39:35,730 and get an education and you're saying have a better life. I had 1463 01:39:35,730 --> 01:39:38,910 to make a pass the gang members who's trying to recruit me. I 1464 01:39:38,910 --> 01:39:41,070 had to make a pass the crackheads who's trying to rob 1465 01:39:41,070 --> 01:39:44,460 me kill me. And now I have to worry about stop and frisk game 1466 01:39:44,460 --> 01:39:50,220 nice sorter militaristic, policing practices of being 1467 01:39:50,250 --> 01:39:55,020 thrown against the wall and copy a Xerox because you look like 1468 01:39:55,770 --> 01:39:59,670 Well, do you look like the part I know 1469 01:39:59,670 --> 01:40:02,970 you're still situation was different. Did you feel any of 1470 01:40:02,970 --> 01:40:04,320 that to a degree? 1471 01:40:08,550 --> 01:40:14,190 To a degree Yes. And the thing was here's here's the crazy 1472 01:40:14,190 --> 01:40:20,220 thing. us as kids we dress like the problem we acted like the 1473 01:40:20,220 --> 01:40:21,660 problem we saw it like 1474 01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:25,320 that's what you were being conditioned to do of course 1475 01:40:25,320 --> 01:40:28,770 through the through through the entertainment yeah Geez 1476 01:40:29,460 --> 01:40:31,470 through the propaganda so now it's like 1477 01:40:32,520 --> 01:40:36,000 what I don't understand most No, I don't understand. We've done 1478 01:40:36,300 --> 01:40:41,100 the United States government the Boulais they've done so much 1479 01:40:41,100 --> 01:40:44,460 work. How come you guys are still around? I can't believe 1480 01:40:44,460 --> 01:40:49,410 they didn't get rid of all Yeah. very resilient. My friend. Holy 1481 01:40:49,410 --> 01:40:49,890 crap. 1482 01:40:50,699 --> 01:40:55,949 It says the story of our lives. Yeah. Can't take us. The life of 1483 01:40:55,949 --> 01:41:01,559 this show for Episode one done now. Throughout history, there's 1484 01:41:01,559 --> 01:41:06,779 been a concerted effort to take us out. Let's get Can we agree 1485 01:41:06,779 --> 01:41:08,369 to that? Yeah, 1486 01:41:08,399 --> 01:41:12,149 but it's so dumb. It just I don't understand 1487 01:41:12,809 --> 01:41:14,099 what it has to be a bottom. 1488 01:41:15,480 --> 01:41:18,060 Yeah, we that was one of our first shows actually about the 1489 01:41:18,060 --> 01:41:21,120 bottom your so yeah, there's got you have to have a bottom tag 1490 01:41:21,120 --> 01:41:22,050 your it's nice 1491 01:41:23,460 --> 01:41:28,680 to have the bottom. When you do it on color. It makes it very 1492 01:41:28,680 --> 01:41:32,700 easy to identify who the bottom is. But I want to get more into 1493 01:41:32,700 --> 01:41:36,690 this 94 crime bill. Sure. That was passed under Bill Clinton. 1494 01:41:37,529 --> 01:41:41,219 22 years ago, the country divided over a controversial far 1495 01:41:41,219 --> 01:41:44,399 fetching anti crime bill brought to Congress by former President 1496 01:41:44,399 --> 01:41:45,029 Bill Clinton. 1497 01:41:45,779 --> 01:41:51,179 liquidity in the country divided it. There was no division. Yeah. 1498 01:41:52,019 --> 01:41:56,129 Poor people, black people. They were against it. But there was 1499 01:41:56,129 --> 01:41:59,579 no division. I'm sorry, I was around. I don't remember that. I 1500 01:41:59,579 --> 01:42:01,949 don't remember any division like that. When Okay. 1501 01:42:01,979 --> 01:42:05,729 Critics blame the law for record breaking incarceration rates and 1502 01:42:05,729 --> 01:42:09,389 with further devastating poor communities. Well, just last 1503 01:42:09,389 --> 01:42:12,269 week, President Clinton as you know was interrupted by Black 1504 01:42:12,269 --> 01:42:15,959 Lives Matters protesters upset about the 1994 crime law. The 1505 01:42:15,959 --> 01:42:20,009 President admitted a year ago that the law jail too many for 1506 01:42:20,009 --> 01:42:23,429 too long while speaking at a convention for the NAACP, 1507 01:42:23,699 --> 01:42:27,359 Clinton supported her husband in signing the law when she was 1508 01:42:27,359 --> 01:42:30,809 first lady. In recent days, the former Secretary of State has 1509 01:42:30,809 --> 01:42:33,479 been trying to clarify her husband's remarks on the law 1510 01:42:33,779 --> 01:42:37,859 without trying to denounce them. Now, Bernie Sanders along with 1511 01:42:37,859 --> 01:42:43,139 187, Democrats voted for the bill in 1994. And he is now 1512 01:42:43,139 --> 01:42:46,799 criticizing President Clinton say that he needed to apologize 1513 01:42:46,799 --> 01:42:50,219 to the American people. Joining me now is Congressman Bobby Rush 1514 01:42:50,219 --> 01:42:53,789 who voted in favor of the crime bill in 1994. He has endorsed 1515 01:42:53,789 --> 01:42:56,369 Hillary Clinton. Carson, thank you so much for joining 1516 01:42:56,369 --> 01:42:58,469 us, to everyone. It's my pleasure. 1517 01:42:59,699 --> 01:43:02,549 It always is great to talk to you. Let's put some perspective 1518 01:43:02,579 --> 01:43:06,419 on what was happening. You were there 22 years ago. Do you 1519 01:43:06,419 --> 01:43:11,819 believe the way the crime bill is being described now versus 1520 01:43:11,849 --> 01:43:15,689 what was happening on the ground in some of that video? Is it 1521 01:43:15,689 --> 01:43:16,739 matching here? 1522 01:43:18,510 --> 01:43:23,190 Well, before we let Bobby answer, yeah, there's another 1523 01:43:23,190 --> 01:43:27,510 reason why I made this show. They're gonna try to rewrite 1524 01:43:27,510 --> 01:43:30,570 history again, which I mean, you pointed out with Joe Biden, and 1525 01:43:30,570 --> 01:43:34,290 sure, these clips outtake him here on the crime bill was from 1526 01:43:34,290 --> 01:43:39,060 the 2016 cycle, when there are white washing, no pun intended. 1527 01:43:40,140 --> 01:43:44,490 Killer that quick, Hillary sin. Yeah. You know, it was it was 1528 01:43:44,580 --> 01:43:49,170 the country was divided. And it was difficult. And you know 1529 01:43:49,170 --> 01:43:55,290 what? They're gonna do the same thing again. And everybody wants 1530 01:43:55,290 --> 01:43:58,620 to point the finger at Joe Biden, rightfully so. But 1531 01:43:58,620 --> 01:43:58,980 Bernie, 1532 01:43:59,069 --> 01:44:03,209 Bernie Sanders right up there. Oh, yeah. All Bernie. 1533 01:44:04,170 --> 01:44:07,680 Bernie, you couldn't see. I mean, you're a socialist. I 1534 01:44:07,680 --> 01:44:10,110 mean, you should be against the government. You know? 1535 01:44:10,139 --> 01:44:14,039 Yes. But the Schweitzer children problem. Sorry. All right. 1536 01:44:14,069 --> 01:44:17,729 Little little love little interracial interfaith humor 1537 01:44:17,729 --> 01:44:18,059 there. 1538 01:44:18,449 --> 01:44:23,609 Yeah, so I'm making this clear so everybody can see everybody 1539 01:44:23,609 --> 01:44:26,699 has a little dirt on their hands. The Black Caucus, Bernie 1540 01:44:26,699 --> 01:44:32,639 Sanders, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton. You go down the list 1541 01:44:32,670 --> 01:44:36,960 now hold on I want to put your your your black actors etc in 1542 01:44:36,960 --> 01:44:41,190 that as well. They've they are also complicit. Yeah, they were 1543 01:44:41,190 --> 01:44:44,670 trying to make $1 But a lot of harm was done. 1544 01:44:45,270 --> 01:44:47,910 Oh course. I mean, the music issues and we're gonna get there 1545 01:44:47,910 --> 01:44:53,220 too. But let's let Bobby explain why he voted for the crown. 1546 01:44:54,000 --> 01:45:03,120 Chakra. Let me start out with this. I am ashamed My home. I 1547 01:45:03,120 --> 01:45:13,500 sincerely apologize to God apologize to my community, to my 1548 01:45:13,500 --> 01:45:20,400 family. That was the worst vote. As I look back over the years 1549 01:45:21,120 --> 01:45:26,820 that I'm thinking since I've been in Congress, it was a vote 1550 01:45:28,020 --> 01:45:35,280 that really was accompanied with a lot of hope. And then we will 1551 01:45:35,850 --> 01:45:40,830 finally be able to deal with not only the issue of crime in our 1552 01:45:40,830 --> 01:45:46,260 community demonstrating crime, but then we would also be able 1553 01:45:46,260 --> 01:45:50,700 to do those things and have those programs and policies to 1554 01:45:51,330 --> 01:45:55,860 deal with the other kinds of issues other than problems in 1555 01:45:55,860 --> 01:46:00,150 our community. And what happened with the crime bill and its 1556 01:46:00,150 --> 01:46:06,840 implementation was that there was too much of a focus too many 1557 01:46:06,840 --> 01:46:14,040 resources on locking them up. But no resources on love and 1558 01:46:14,040 --> 01:46:21,750 compassion. And as a result, we have devastated communities. 1559 01:46:22,530 --> 01:46:27,390 devastated. Our families devastated our futures. 1560 01:46:30,960 --> 01:46:33,150 So there you have it. Oh, we didn't know what was gonna 1561 01:46:33,150 --> 01:46:36,270 happen. We didn't know what happened if you build 12 being 1562 01:46:36,270 --> 01:46:41,790 all his work for new prisons. Seriously, really? Really? 1563 01:46:42,029 --> 01:46:43,649 It's such bull crap. 1564 01:46:44,459 --> 01:46:47,519 You're not that smart and that dumb at the same time? I use it. 1565 01:46:47,549 --> 01:46:52,139 You just can't be. No, but we're looking at it from a political 1566 01:46:52,139 --> 01:46:57,479 standpoint of the wrongdoings. It goes deeper than that, of 1567 01:46:57,479 --> 01:47:02,159 course. And we're gonna go there. In going back to the 1568 01:47:02,159 --> 01:47:07,289 movie New Jack City. There was a scene, a court scene where it 1569 01:47:07,289 --> 01:47:12,929 Nino Brown, and all the bad that he done. Let some truth out. 1570 01:47:13,289 --> 01:47:13,589 You're the 1571 01:47:13,590 --> 01:47:18,480 one who was guilty. Lawmakers, the politicians, the Colombian 1572 01:47:18,480 --> 01:47:23,100 drug lords, all you who lobby against making drugs legal, just 1573 01:47:23,100 --> 01:47:26,340 like you did with alcohol during the Prohibition. You're the one 1574 01:47:26,340 --> 01:47:30,720 who's guilty. I mean, come on. Let's click the ballistics here. 1575 01:47:31,890 --> 01:47:33,780 No Uzi is made in Harlem. 1576 01:47:34,739 --> 01:47:39,479 I mean, not one of us in here. Also Poppy feet. This thing is 1577 01:47:39,479 --> 01:47:42,839 bigger than Nino Brown, this is big business. This is the 1578 01:47:42,839 --> 01:47:43,619 American way. 1579 01:47:45,270 --> 01:47:49,140 The business of America is business. And now I'm sure we go 1580 01:47:49,140 --> 01:47:52,110 to exactly how it all came about. 1581 01:47:52,949 --> 01:47:57,119 Yes, we do. And we're going to let one Mr. Gary Webb and a 1582 01:47:57,119 --> 01:47:59,909 throwback clip. Explain it in his own words. 1583 01:48:00,449 --> 01:48:03,239 My name is Gary Webb, I am an investigative journalist. I've 1584 01:48:03,239 --> 01:48:06,719 been an investigative journalist for about 25 years for daily 1585 01:48:06,719 --> 01:48:11,279 newspapers. And in 1996, I wrote a series of stories entitled 1586 01:48:11,279 --> 01:48:14,849 Dark Alliance, which was about CIA involvement in drug 1587 01:48:14,849 --> 01:48:15,179 trafficking. 1588 01:48:22,770 --> 01:48:26,970 What my story showed was that the cocaine that was being sold 1589 01:48:26,970 --> 01:48:30,510 in those neighborhoods was coming from mainly one source. 1590 01:48:30,840 --> 01:48:34,350 And this one source was being used to finance a guerrilla war 1591 01:48:34,380 --> 01:48:35,700 in Central America. 1592 01:48:42,090 --> 01:48:46,980 The general idea of the CIA dealing drugs was something that 1593 01:48:47,190 --> 01:48:50,010 the American mainstream press had never written about before. 1594 01:48:50,190 --> 01:48:55,860 And that's why it prompted outrage among blacks, among drug 1595 01:48:55,860 --> 01:49:01,050 reform activists, among politicians, by the CIA, by 1596 01:49:01,050 --> 01:49:04,110 every federal agency involved in the drug war, because it showed 1597 01:49:04,110 --> 01:49:06,330 they weren't doing their jobs. There was a fraud. 1598 01:49:07,380 --> 01:49:13,530 Yes, this is a very, one of my favorite stories of Gary Webb, a 1599 01:49:13,530 --> 01:49:20,280 true hero and reporting this in the Mercury News. And a running 1600 01:49:20,280 --> 01:49:26,280 joke that we've had on no agenda is no careful or your wind up 1601 01:49:26,280 --> 01:49:30,870 shooting yourself in the head twice. And that's literally what 1602 01:49:31,140 --> 01:49:36,210 the cause of death has been recorded as to gun shots to the 1603 01:49:36,210 --> 01:49:41,220 head, a suicide, which is just so I think the gun was in his in 1604 01:49:41,220 --> 01:49:45,150 his left hand too. It is so incredibly hard to do that. 1605 01:49:46,200 --> 01:49:49,200 Which of course means he was taken out but yeah, Gary Webb 1606 01:49:49,200 --> 01:49:51,060 really blew this wide open. 1607 01:49:52,110 --> 01:49:56,160 And we, for the ones that done the investigation on this topic, 1608 01:49:56,520 --> 01:50:02,820 we've heard about the role of Reagan and bush and Oliver 1609 01:50:02,820 --> 01:50:08,340 North, and the people of that of that nature. And little, little 1610 01:50:08,340 --> 01:50:13,020 known fact here. We've known Compton California was one of 1611 01:50:13,020 --> 01:50:16,290 the epicenters of the crack cocaine. And I remember hearing 1612 01:50:16,290 --> 01:50:20,940 this as a teenager that yeah, the CIA shoulda woulda, shoulda 1613 01:50:20,970 --> 01:50:25,800 the gangs how to cook up crack in Compton, you know in South 1614 01:50:25,800 --> 01:50:33,420 Central LA. Well, here's a little Did you know well Richard 1615 01:50:33,420 --> 01:50:38,790 Nixon he grew up in Yorba Linda. Citrus ranch Ronald Reagan spent 1616 01:50:38,790 --> 01:50:42,810 time in Bel Air, would you did you know the bushes were 1617 01:50:42,810 --> 01:50:47,100 straight out of Compton? The bushes? Yes. 1618 01:50:48,630 --> 01:50:51,660 No, I didn't. This is 1619 01:50:51,660 --> 01:50:55,770 from gives Gizmodo it says actually the Bush family only 1620 01:50:55,770 --> 01:50:59,850 called Los Angeles County suburb home for six short months and 1621 01:50:59,850 --> 01:51:07,830 1990 1940 knots and 1950 a George HW Bush the future 41st 1622 01:51:07,830 --> 01:51:11,610 President United States was on a temporary Assam and California 1623 01:51:11,940 --> 01:51:15,870 for the dressing industry selling or drill bits for the 1624 01:51:16,320 --> 01:51:22,170 Jessup subsidiary name security engineering company. Now, the 1625 01:51:22,200 --> 01:51:28,380 future CI head of the CIA and the CIA was known for their role 1626 01:51:28,380 --> 01:51:32,670 in the Iran Contra scandal and the proliferation of the crack 1627 01:51:32,700 --> 01:51:36,960 epidemic. I happen to live in Compton, California. And that's 1628 01:51:36,960 --> 01:51:40,980 where one of the epicenters of the crack era started. 1629 01:51:41,010 --> 01:51:45,000 I didn't know that I you know, could you think of Compton, all 1630 01:51:45,000 --> 01:51:48,000 you think of is, you know, is straight out of Compton, 1631 01:51:48,000 --> 01:51:50,310 literally, you know, those are the images that come up in your 1632 01:51:50,310 --> 01:51:55,290 head. I didn't I didn't know this, but I'm looking at why 1633 01:51:55,409 --> 01:52:01,319 I do it a white flight. It was a white community where it became 1634 01:52:01,679 --> 01:52:06,689 majority black. And all of a sudden, this is where crack 1635 01:52:06,689 --> 01:52:09,689 started. I mean, it's like one of the birthplaces of crack 1636 01:52:09,689 --> 01:52:14,609 cocaine. That workout. Fantastic. That's just a 1637 01:52:14,609 --> 01:52:20,579 coincidence. Yeah, of course. But another epicenter of the 1638 01:52:20,579 --> 01:52:23,969 crack epidemic is Mena, Arkansas. 1639 01:52:24,149 --> 01:52:29,129 On October the seventh 1994. Sarah McClendon, the senior 1640 01:52:29,129 --> 01:52:32,339 White House News correspondent who has covered 11 presidential 1641 01:52:32,339 --> 01:52:35,639 administrations, beginning with that a Franklin Delano Roosevelt 1642 01:52:35,999 --> 01:52:39,239 demonstrated once again that she has the courage to ask the 1643 01:52:39,239 --> 01:52:42,779 hardball questions. Other journalists only dare to think 1644 01:52:43,319 --> 01:52:46,109 as she confronted William Jefferson Clinton, about the 1645 01:52:46,109 --> 01:52:48,779 Central Intelligence Agency's involvement in nefarious 1646 01:52:48,779 --> 01:52:52,229 activities, activities Saturday remote airport in western 1647 01:52:52,229 --> 01:52:56,249 Arkansas. While Clinton was Arkansas commander in chief, she 1648 01:52:56,249 --> 01:53:00,569 finally cornered the man who was a co conspirator in bypassing 1649 01:53:00,569 --> 01:53:04,499 the Constitution of the United States of America. In doing so, 1650 01:53:04,829 --> 01:53:07,289 the President was not only forced to address the looming 1651 01:53:07,289 --> 01:53:11,369 scandal that may impeach him, Clinton once again demonstrated 1652 01:53:11,369 --> 01:53:14,159 his trademark talent. He lied. 1653 01:53:15,059 --> 01:53:18,359 Yeah, and what is kind of interesting is, you know, if you 1654 01:53:18,359 --> 01:53:21,179 follow the entertainment track of this, of course, Tom Cruise 1655 01:53:21,179 --> 01:53:23,669 just did a movie about Mena, Arkansas. 1656 01:53:24,689 --> 01:53:26,849 Which he had to change the name. Yeah. 1657 01:53:27,090 --> 01:53:30,300 But it was also missing some key elements like, I don't know, 1658 01:53:30,390 --> 01:53:36,330 Bill Clinton, the bushes? Oh, yeah. Yeah, people don't really 1659 01:53:36,330 --> 01:53:40,890 know this, but it's like, here's how you here's how you set the 1660 01:53:40,890 --> 01:53:45,930 narrative. But here's also how you polish off all the old crap, 1661 01:53:45,930 --> 01:53:48,510 you know, just make a movie about it and bring in the top 1662 01:53:48,510 --> 01:53:54,300 guns to coin a phrase. And, you know, and focus it on, Barry, 1663 01:53:54,330 --> 01:53:57,390 she was a very senior Sansbury shields, I think his name was 1664 01:53:57,630 --> 01:54:01,740 the pilot, and make it all about him. And you know, and just 1665 01:54:01,740 --> 01:54:05,880 completely get rid of all of the history. And lo and behold, the 1666 01:54:05,880 --> 01:54:08,490 history goes away except for on this show. 1667 01:54:09,540 --> 01:54:12,150 It doesn't that sound very similar to how they rewrote 1668 01:54:12,150 --> 01:54:16,260 history with American gangster and having to be the face of all 1669 01:54:16,260 --> 01:54:19,290 heroin in the 1970s. In America, 1670 01:54:19,319 --> 01:54:23,789 you know, the the Pentagon and CIA have offices in Hollywood. 1671 01:54:23,789 --> 01:54:26,309 So yes, of course. Of course. It's how you do it. 1672 01:54:27,689 --> 01:54:31,019 So what I'm listening to Mr. Sarah McClendon acts Bill 1673 01:54:31,019 --> 01:54:33,269 Clinton about his MENA connection, 1674 01:54:34,439 --> 01:54:38,009 the Republicans are trying to blame you for the existence of a 1675 01:54:38,009 --> 01:54:42,779 small airbase at Mena, Arkansas. This base was set up by George 1676 01:54:42,779 --> 01:54:48,029 Bush and Oliver North and the CIA to help the Iran countries 1677 01:54:48,419 --> 01:54:51,479 and they brought in play mode after playing mode of cocaine 1678 01:54:51,479 --> 01:54:55,679 there for sale in the United States. And then they took the 1679 01:54:55,679 --> 01:54:58,079 money and bought weapons and took them back to the Contras 1680 01:54:58,079 --> 01:55:00,509 all of which was illegal is you know, under the law Are that 1681 01:55:01,259 --> 01:55:04,439 count me? Did they tell you that this had to be in existence 1682 01:55:04,439 --> 01:55:06,059 because of national security? 1683 01:55:06,840 --> 01:55:11,190 Well, let me answer the question. No, they didn't tell 1684 01:55:11,190 --> 01:55:13,680 me anything about it. They didn't say anything to me about 1685 01:55:13,680 --> 01:55:13,770 it. 1686 01:55:14,100 --> 01:55:16,770 That is what by the way, that's what we call a performative 1687 01:55:17,070 --> 01:55:19,710 where you're going to say something? Well, let me say this 1688 01:55:19,710 --> 01:55:22,140 about that, or let me answer the question doesn't mean you give 1689 01:55:22,140 --> 01:55:22,830 an answer. 1690 01:55:24,329 --> 01:55:25,169 The airport 1691 01:55:25,170 --> 01:55:28,500 in question, and all the events in question were the subject of 1692 01:55:28,800 --> 01:55:33,210 state and federal inquiries, it was probably primarily a matter 1693 01:55:33,210 --> 01:55:36,450 for federal jurisdiction state that really had next to nothing 1694 01:55:36,450 --> 01:55:39,120 to do with it. A local prosecutor did conduct an 1695 01:55:39,120 --> 01:55:42,870 investigation, based on what was within the jurisdiction of state 1696 01:55:42,870 --> 01:55:45,570 law. The rest of it was on the jurisdiction of the United 1697 01:55:45,570 --> 01:55:48,360 States attorneys who were appointed successively by 1698 01:55:48,360 --> 01:55:53,700 previous administrations. We had nothing zero to do with it. And 1699 01:55:53,700 --> 01:55:55,320 everybody who's ever looked into it. 1700 01:55:57,270 --> 01:56:01,020 Bullshit, I did not have sexual relations with that woman. 1701 01:56:02,310 --> 01:56:06,420 Did you hear answer? Yeah, I did. Of course not. Of course 1702 01:56:06,420 --> 01:56:06,660 not. 1703 01:56:07,350 --> 01:56:10,560 Of course not. Let me answer that doesn't mean he's given an 1704 01:56:10,560 --> 01:56:12,390 answer. No. 1705 01:56:12,659 --> 01:56:15,749 And this lady Sarah McClendon, like you said, she started on 1706 01:56:15,749 --> 01:56:21,569 the 1111 administration. She's no lightweight. No, no kidding. 1707 01:56:21,989 --> 01:56:26,669 For her to ask that question. He had to be serious smoke there. 1708 01:56:27,959 --> 01:56:31,649 But as you Why is this not being brought up? Why was this not 1709 01:56:31,649 --> 01:56:35,099 brought up in the 2016 election? Why was this not being brought 1710 01:56:35,099 --> 01:56:36,389 up now? Well, 1711 01:56:36,449 --> 01:56:39,059 it was definitely it's been discussed, but not in the 1712 01:56:39,059 --> 01:56:41,279 mainstream? No, of course not. 1713 01:56:41,609 --> 01:56:47,009 No. And it's a lot of this thing and we one thing I didn't I 1714 01:56:47,009 --> 01:56:52,709 didn't want to clip it, but Maxine Waters she had she held a 1715 01:56:52,709 --> 01:56:57,029 hearing in Congress on this very topic. Oh, well, now I'm gonna 1716 01:56:57,029 --> 01:57:02,339 say she had Yeah, she has. She has a um, she her memory is 1717 01:57:02,339 --> 01:57:07,229 slipping her now. I don't remember. Go go look it up. 1718 01:57:07,229 --> 01:57:11,009 Maxine Waters. Um, it was not really a clippable because it 1719 01:57:11,009 --> 01:57:14,399 was like long drawn out answers. But yeah, Maxine Waters she knew 1720 01:57:14,399 --> 01:57:20,699 it was going on. But and and let's not forget, Barry Barry. 1721 01:57:20,699 --> 01:57:25,229 Oh, it was he was his book. He confessed to selling drugs. And 1722 01:57:25,229 --> 01:57:30,599 we've covered his connection with the CI all these things are 1723 01:57:30,599 --> 01:57:34,559 just so convenient. So so very convenient, how they're all 1724 01:57:34,559 --> 01:57:38,009 connected, but nobody points the finger anybody. In this day and 1725 01:57:38,009 --> 01:57:41,999 age where we want to expose everybody. My Millennials stay. 1726 01:57:41,999 --> 01:57:42,479 Whoa. 1727 01:57:42,659 --> 01:57:45,089 Okay. Great words, Maxine. 1728 01:57:46,020 --> 01:57:48,810 Alright, so let's get into the final clip of the MENA 1729 01:57:48,810 --> 01:57:49,440 connection. 1730 01:57:49,619 --> 01:57:53,399 What forces could be responsible for compromising the entire 1731 01:57:53,399 --> 01:57:57,959 system of justice? Bill Clinton certainly knows. He was the 1732 01:57:57,959 --> 01:58:01,499 governor of Arkansas who allowed the some version of his state 1733 01:58:01,499 --> 01:58:04,919 government by the shadowy forces radiating from the Reagan Bush 1734 01:58:04,919 --> 01:58:08,609 White House, when ex CIA director William Casey began 1735 01:58:08,609 --> 01:58:12,509 using the CIA to illegally conduct secret foreign policy. 1736 01:58:13,079 --> 01:58:16,979 This serious breach of America's constitutional authority was 1737 01:58:16,979 --> 01:58:22,079 labeled by the media as Iran Contra. This documentary will 1738 01:58:22,079 --> 01:58:25,589 rewrite this dark period in American history and leave you 1739 01:58:25,589 --> 01:58:30,239 with annoying question. Who or what is running this country? 1740 01:58:33,510 --> 01:58:34,380 Gun running 1741 01:58:36,630 --> 01:58:47,190 mysterious CIA flights. Contra military training guerrilla 1742 01:58:47,190 --> 01:58:58,890 pilot training clandestine air drops tons of illegal drugs 1743 01:59:01,980 --> 01:59:07,290 millions of dollars in dirty money. Covert activity in some 1744 01:59:07,290 --> 01:59:13,710 third world Banana Republic. Right. Wrong. Arkansas, 1745 01:59:14,040 --> 01:59:16,380 America's own Banana Republic. 1746 01:59:17,430 --> 01:59:22,350 And if you think it ended with Iran Contra. Let's look at 1747 01:59:22,350 --> 01:59:28,290 Libya. Let's look at Syria. Benghazi has to do with this gun 1748 01:59:28,290 --> 01:59:32,820 running a terrorist AirDrop. Oh, who was it? Who was involved? 1749 01:59:32,850 --> 01:59:38,610 Oh, oh, my another Clinton, Hillary Clinton. Except, you 1750 01:59:38,610 --> 01:59:43,320 know the payoff was different. The payoff was in money to the 1751 01:59:43,320 --> 01:59:47,910 Clinton Foundation, all kinds of shenanigans. I started watching 1752 01:59:47,910 --> 01:59:53,490 her perfectly times documentary, which launched March 6, which is 1753 01:59:53,490 --> 01:59:58,110 what you do right after Super Tuesday, of course. Perfect. And 1754 01:59:59,190 --> 02:00:04,530 it is a It is so convincing. I've only seen the first hour, 1755 02:00:04,530 --> 02:00:10,140 it's four hours. You I actually think Hillary Clinton started as 1756 02:00:10,140 --> 02:00:15,360 a very good person. And somewhere I have only seen the 1757 02:00:15,360 --> 02:00:20,580 first hour I will identify it somewhere. The power or the 1758 02:00:20,580 --> 02:00:25,050 money or a combination got to her and she just became evil 1759 02:00:25,080 --> 02:00:26,190 itself. 1760 02:00:27,540 --> 02:00:33,840 Well, from what I've read on her, the random family has 1761 02:00:34,650 --> 02:00:40,980 nefarious ties to organized crime. And, and her adoptive 1762 02:00:40,980 --> 02:00:44,970 family, the bushes. I mean, this is not my words. This is her 1763 02:00:45,000 --> 02:00:48,810 adoptive brother speaking. When he asked, asked about Bill 1764 02:00:48,810 --> 02:00:52,530 Clinton and George W. Bush. He said, Oh, that's my brother. And 1765 02:00:52,530 --> 02:00:55,440 he's like, oh, so what did that mean? Hillary? Oh, my sister. 1766 02:00:55,860 --> 02:00:57,930 Oh, I'm not giving them a pass. 1767 02:00:57,960 --> 02:01:01,800 Well, by the by the way, Hillary Hillary truly is white. I mean, 1768 02:01:01,800 --> 02:01:05,760 she comes from from white supremacy. Yes, she could. She 1769 02:01:05,760 --> 02:01:10,260 comes from the Coventry, England here it is Morris Rodham, 1770 02:01:10,290 --> 02:01:15,780 Archdeacon of Warwick. She literally is from the the white 1771 02:01:15,780 --> 02:01:22,290 bloodlines that that that are the origins of white supremacy 1772 02:01:22,290 --> 02:01:24,300 that doesn't have to go back that far, actually. 1773 02:01:24,750 --> 02:01:28,560 And the bushes are white by marriage, because they married 1774 02:01:28,560 --> 02:01:32,550 into the Brown family. Exactly. And the harem family. So I mean, 1775 02:01:32,550 --> 02:01:36,510 those are very big names. So I'm just getting back on track with 1776 02:01:36,510 --> 02:01:42,120 the Arcsoft connection. Two things one, I remember this is 1777 02:01:42,120 --> 02:01:45,960 pre internet. There was a group called Goody mob do associated 1778 02:01:45,960 --> 02:01:48,930 without cash. Are you familiar with outcasts, Andre? 3000? 1779 02:01:49,260 --> 02:01:54,120 Course boy? Yeah, they had a song that went no, not hold me 1780 02:01:54,120 --> 02:01:57,600 to the lyrics. Exactly. But it said dirty Bill Clinton for me 1781 02:01:57,600 --> 02:02:03,510 some weight. Tell me get 10 Bring him eight. No, bring him 1782 02:02:03,540 --> 02:02:07,080 eight. So what he was basically alluding to the drug deal with? 1783 02:02:07,380 --> 02:02:09,720 Yeah, including Bill Clinton. 1784 02:02:10,290 --> 02:02:14,340 Well, it's not like we don't know Bill and his brother. We're 1785 02:02:14,340 --> 02:02:16,320 kind of fans of the powder. 1786 02:02:20,040 --> 02:02:24,060 So going back to the Arkansas connection, my brain does what 1787 02:02:24,060 --> 02:02:29,280 it does. And I remember this documentary about Little Rock, 1788 02:02:29,310 --> 02:02:35,220 Arkansas in the mid 90s, of HBO called banging in Little Rock. 1789 02:02:35,640 --> 02:02:36,300 Several years 1790 02:02:36,300 --> 02:02:39,900 ago, when I saw the death rate begin to change and the death 1791 02:02:39,900 --> 02:02:42,660 rate was increasing. But the demographics, the victims were 1792 02:02:42,660 --> 02:02:45,570 becoming much younger and younger and began to see tattoos 1793 02:02:45,570 --> 02:02:49,740 and brands on victims and began to notice graffiti, and then 1794 02:02:49,740 --> 02:02:52,500 began to notice that the violence just was increasing and 1795 02:02:53,130 --> 02:02:56,490 drive by shootings and random shootings and random killings, 1796 02:02:56,730 --> 02:03:00,840 retaliation killings, and it just went on and on until 1992. 1797 02:03:01,260 --> 02:03:05,400 We had a record rate of homicides in Little Rock and it 1798 02:03:05,400 --> 02:03:09,660 looks we've broken the record in 1993. And it's just gone on and 1799 02:03:09,660 --> 02:03:10,170 on. No. 1800 02:03:13,020 --> 02:03:17,910 Bill Clinton is hated in Little Rock. Uh huh. He is hated my 1801 02:03:17,910 --> 02:03:21,990 uncle, who I should disclose. I should have disclosed this 1802 02:03:21,990 --> 02:03:26,640 earlier. My uncle don don Greg, key was national security 1803 02:03:26,640 --> 02:03:32,040 adviser to Bush Senior during Iran Contra, there were hearings 1804 02:03:32,040 --> 02:03:37,920 and he was grilled. And he was exonerated as having nothing to 1805 02:03:37,920 --> 02:03:44,160 do with it. Politically, he was damaged and he became ambassador 1806 02:03:44,160 --> 02:03:49,890 to South Korea. But I speak to him often I've never really 1807 02:03:49,890 --> 02:03:53,880 talked to him about this. If I don't if I don't, he may not 1808 02:03:53,880 --> 02:03:58,080 want to talk about I don't know. But I do know that he went to he 1809 02:03:58,080 --> 02:04:01,590 had some business in Little Rock. And he was talking to I 1810 02:04:01,590 --> 02:04:07,890 think there's a some kind of state library. And I just recall 1811 02:04:07,890 --> 02:04:11,400 him telling the story that all that particularly women who were 1812 02:04:11,400 --> 02:04:15,990 there, the name of Bill Clinton just brought like scowls of 1813 02:04:15,990 --> 02:04:18,360 anger, they hate him, hate him. 1814 02:04:20,189 --> 02:04:24,119 Well, I'm gonna go into a little bit cocky, a little, a little 1815 02:04:24,119 --> 02:04:26,129 theorem, not a lot, a little bit there and come back to go a 1816 02:04:26,129 --> 02:04:27,059 little left with. 1817 02:04:27,930 --> 02:04:30,570 I think we can roll out a bit of Theramin for you. There you go. 1818 02:04:30,570 --> 02:04:33,120 Alright, here we go. We're going to I don't know if it's going to 1819 02:04:33,120 --> 02:04:36,750 be conspiracy theory or conspiracy facts. We'll see. All 1820 02:04:36,750 --> 02:04:37,110 right. 1821 02:04:38,880 --> 02:04:42,390 Are you? Are you familiar with Mr. George Webb? 1822 02:04:43,050 --> 02:04:47,700 Yes, of course. George Webb does great YouTube videos. He is he's 1823 02:04:47,700 --> 02:04:52,830 so far out ahead of understanding in particular 1824 02:04:52,830 --> 02:04:58,920 crimes, like what happened in Benghazi. I mean, yeah, this guy 1825 02:04:58,920 --> 02:05:01,980 is fantastic. He has Such a high output. It's almost impossible 1826 02:05:01,980 --> 02:05:03,900 to keep up with them. And yes, of course I'm familiar with 1827 02:05:03,900 --> 02:05:04,080 them. 1828 02:05:04,589 --> 02:05:08,039 And with that said, I dug and dug and dug and dug and dug and 1829 02:05:08,039 --> 02:05:11,189 couldn't find this clip, but I'll never forget it verbatim. 1830 02:05:11,339 --> 02:05:15,329 This is what he said. He was like, we're not verbatim, but 1831 02:05:15,359 --> 02:05:20,759 I'm gonna give you a synopsis of what he said. Arkansas. That is 1832 02:05:20,759 --> 02:05:25,829 the home of Mena, Arkansas, home of Bill Clinton, but also home 1833 02:05:25,859 --> 02:05:33,149 of Walmart. And Tyson's chicken, yes. Okay. This way he tells the 1834 02:05:33,149 --> 02:05:39,119 story is they used to ship the cocaine. And Tyson's inside 1835 02:05:39,119 --> 02:05:39,479 chicken. 1836 02:05:39,749 --> 02:05:43,709 I've heard this. Yes, I've heard this and went validate. 1837 02:05:43,740 --> 02:05:47,310 This for me is if you know anything about rap, hip hop, and 1838 02:05:48,480 --> 02:05:54,090 slang, slang for a kilo of cocaine is a chicken. So when he 1839 02:05:54,090 --> 02:05:55,290 said that my hands are 1840 02:05:55,920 --> 02:06:00,240 wide open, and that would make about center chicken, about two, 1841 02:06:00,630 --> 02:06:03,150 two pounds. Yeah, good. 1842 02:06:03,300 --> 02:06:06,960 hollowed out the hollowed out chicken. They will put it inside 1843 02:06:06,960 --> 02:06:13,110 there. And they will distribute it to the Walmart. Which Sam 1844 02:06:13,110 --> 02:06:18,270 Walton, Sam Walton. He's taught children of what like sixth 1845 02:06:18,270 --> 02:06:19,950 seventh and eighth on the Forbes 1846 02:06:21,359 --> 02:06:24,389 richest family in the world. Some pretty much yeah. 1847 02:06:24,600 --> 02:06:27,510 Right. So all these came out of Arkansas and he you seen this 1848 02:06:27,510 --> 02:06:30,690 special banging? And I'm like banging in Little Rock. Why do 1849 02:06:30,690 --> 02:06:33,120 you have gangs and Little Rock and all these drugs? 1850 02:06:33,149 --> 02:06:36,719 Well, hello, it's in the chicken. Day you have and by the 1851 02:06:36,719 --> 02:06:43,469 way, how cynical is that? For a drug? That was just a we take it 1852 02:06:43,469 --> 02:06:46,469 to crack cocaine targeted black people to then put it in 1853 02:06:46,469 --> 02:06:50,519 chicken? Holy crap, that's better. That's the worst, 1854 02:06:51,029 --> 02:06:55,349 even more cynical? How is it that Hillary Clinton could fix 1855 02:06:55,349 --> 02:06:57,839 our lives to call other people's super predators. 1856 02:06:58,560 --> 02:07:02,460 The fourth challenge is to take back our streets from crime, 1857 02:07:02,490 --> 02:07:06,960 gangs and drugs. And we have actually been making progress on 1858 02:07:06,960 --> 02:07:10,500 this count as a nation because of what local law enforcement 1859 02:07:10,500 --> 02:07:13,920 officials are doing because of what citizens and neighborhood 1860 02:07:13,920 --> 02:07:17,640 patrols are doing. We're making some progress. Much of it is 1861 02:07:17,640 --> 02:07:21,420 related to the initiative called community policing. Because we 1862 02:07:21,420 --> 02:07:25,170 have finally gotten more police officers on the street. That was 1863 02:07:25,170 --> 02:07:27,870 one of the goals that the President had when he pushed the 1864 02:07:27,870 --> 02:07:32,850 crime bill that was passed in 1994. He promised 100,000 Police 1865 02:07:32,970 --> 02:07:36,300 were moving in that direction. But we can see it already makes 1866 02:07:36,330 --> 02:07:40,140 a difference. Because if we have more police interacting with 1867 02:07:40,140 --> 02:07:43,170 people having them on the streets, we can prevent crimes, 1868 02:07:43,170 --> 02:07:46,590 we can prevent petty crimes from turning into something worse. 1869 02:07:46,830 --> 02:07:49,710 But we also have to have an organized effort against gangs. 1870 02:07:49,710 --> 02:07:52,500 Just as in a previous generation, we had an organized 1871 02:07:52,500 --> 02:07:55,800 effort against the mob. We need to take these people on they are 1872 02:07:55,800 --> 02:07:59,730 often connected to big drug cartels. They are not just gangs 1873 02:07:59,730 --> 02:08:03,030 of kids anymore. They are often the kinds of kids that are 1874 02:08:03,030 --> 02:08:06,960 called super predators, no conscience, no empathy. We can 1875 02:08:06,960 --> 02:08:09,660 talk about why they ended up that way but first we have to 1876 02:08:09,660 --> 02:08:12,690 bring them to heel and the President has asked the FBI to 1877 02:08:12,690 --> 02:08:16,350 launch a very concerted effort against gangs everywhere 1878 02:08:16,409 --> 02:08:19,169 that's that's one of my favorite clips because it has everything 1879 02:08:19,169 --> 02:08:23,039 in it Scott that they need to bring him to heal I love that is 1880 02:08:23,039 --> 02:08:26,699 super predators with you know, in the old contract, 1881 02:08:27,600 --> 02:08:31,950 I connect it to large cartels. Oh, yeah. The one of me and my 1882 02:08:31,950 --> 02:08:32,640 husband Ron. 1883 02:08:33,329 --> 02:08:37,139 This is in the old country we say what yourself being yourself 1884 02:08:37,139 --> 02:08:40,769 Mr. Caputo, the health you are what you accuse others of 1885 02:08:40,769 --> 02:08:47,549 Jackie. That excuse my cues in French is always the way it is 1886 02:08:47,549 --> 02:08:51,119 there's so brazen on real. 1887 02:08:53,159 --> 02:08:56,189 So one of those super predators and this is going to just be 1888 02:08:56,189 --> 02:08:57,359 foreshadowing to how 1889 02:08:58,170 --> 02:09:00,840 I know what's coming. Now we know the biggest super predator 1890 02:09:00,840 --> 02:09:00,990 on 1891 02:09:00,990 --> 02:09:07,860 the scene. Mr. Shawn Jay Z Carter. He owns Rockefeller 1892 02:09:07,860 --> 02:09:10,860 records. Now let me shine a little light on the name 1893 02:09:10,860 --> 02:09:15,720 Rockefeller. Rockefeller can mean you know, David Rockefeller 1894 02:09:15,720 --> 02:09:19,440 wanted the Illuminati aka white supreme on white supremacy. 1895 02:09:19,440 --> 02:09:21,090 Oh, wait, let me guess. Let me guess. Let me guess. Let me 1896 02:09:21,090 --> 02:09:23,010 guess. Something with rock. 1897 02:09:24,359 --> 02:09:26,849 No Rockefeller drug laws, 1898 02:09:27,239 --> 02:09:28,529 oh my goodness, 1899 02:09:30,149 --> 02:09:33,149 which are the statutes dealing with the sale and possession of 1900 02:09:33,149 --> 02:09:37,019 narcotic drugs in New York State penal law. The law was named 1901 02:09:37,019 --> 02:09:39,959 after Nelson Rockefeller, who was the state governor at the 1902 02:09:39,959 --> 02:09:43,049 time the law was adopted. Rockefeller had previously 1903 02:09:43,049 --> 02:09:47,369 backed drug rehabilitation, job training and Housing Strategy 1904 02:09:47,369 --> 02:09:51,119 strategies have seen drugs as a social problem rather than a 1905 02:09:51,149 --> 02:09:55,889 criminal one, but did not but did an about face during a 1906 02:09:56,129 --> 02:09:59,879 period of mounting national anxiety about drug use and 1907 02:09:59,879 --> 02:10:02,909 crime. Prime, Rockefeller stopped supporting the bill 1908 02:10:02,909 --> 02:10:06,209 containing the law had presidential ambitions and so 1909 02:10:06,209 --> 02:10:10,109 wanted to raise his national posture by being tough on crime. 1910 02:10:12,479 --> 02:10:17,069 And now Mr. Jay Z names his record label after Rockefeller 1911 02:10:17,099 --> 02:10:20,939 and now find it weird that the Rockefeller family never made 1912 02:10:20,939 --> 02:10:29,579 him change name his record label. Yeah. And I even find it 1913 02:10:29,609 --> 02:10:34,769 more weird that Mr. super predator himself, Jay Z Boulais, 1914 02:10:35,279 --> 02:10:39,749 extraordinaire, and his wife show support for Hillary Clinton 1915 02:10:39,749 --> 02:10:41,129 in 2016. 1916 02:10:41,670 --> 02:10:45,780 Eight years ago, I was so inspired to know that my nephew, 1917 02:10:46,440 --> 02:10:50,970 a young black child, could grow up knowing his dreams could be 1918 02:10:50,970 --> 02:11:01,260 realized by witnessing a black president in office. And now, we 1919 02:11:01,260 --> 02:11:07,380 have the opportunity to create more changes. I want my daughter 1920 02:11:08,190 --> 02:11:11,070 to grow up seeing a woman lead our country. 1921 02:11:16,619 --> 02:11:21,449 The possibilities are limitless. We have to think about the 1922 02:11:21,449 --> 02:11:26,369 future of our daughters, our sons and vote for someone who 1923 02:11:26,369 --> 02:11:32,159 cares for them as much as we do. And that is why I'm with her. 1924 02:11:35,729 --> 02:11:39,479 I don't I don't have any ill will towards him. But his 1925 02:11:39,479 --> 02:11:43,169 compensation is divisive. And that's not evolved. So to me, so 1926 02:11:43,169 --> 02:11:51,629 he cannot be my president. He cannot be our president. Once 1927 02:11:51,629 --> 02:11:54,959 you divide us, you weaken us. We're stronger together. Once 1928 02:11:54,959 --> 02:12:00,059 you divide us, you weaken us. We are stronger together. Without 1929 02:12:00,059 --> 02:12:04,739 further ado, I would like to introduce to you the next 1930 02:12:04,739 --> 02:12:06,539 President of the United States. 1931 02:12:11,790 --> 02:12:16,020 Yes, Miss butter biscuit, Beyonce right there front and 1932 02:12:16,020 --> 02:12:17,760 center with JL z. 1933 02:12:18,300 --> 02:12:19,860 What a freaking joke. 1934 02:12:20,010 --> 02:12:22,560 You know, this is a psychological thing and just 1935 02:12:22,560 --> 02:12:25,350 came up on the Rogen show about the Google guys. You know, 1936 02:12:25,350 --> 02:12:29,610 people who are abused often go on to abuse others. Abused 1937 02:12:29,610 --> 02:12:35,400 Children often go on to abuse children. Abused Children, 1938 02:12:35,430 --> 02:12:39,240 abused children, and it perpetuates. And I think this is 1939 02:12:39,240 --> 02:12:44,970 a clear example of this psychological condition. I have 1940 02:12:44,970 --> 02:12:49,050 no other explanation for it. I really don't. I don't. I mean, 1941 02:12:49,080 --> 02:12:52,140 why else? Would you be like that? Would you do that? 1942 02:12:53,250 --> 02:12:57,000 How is it that she can fit her mouth to call people super 1943 02:12:57,000 --> 02:13:02,700 predators? And a very poster book? I mean, poster child for 1944 02:13:02,940 --> 02:13:06,630 being a super predator. You have him campaign for you? Yeah. 1945 02:13:08,850 --> 02:13:10,170 Well, I don't I don't 1946 02:13:10,170 --> 02:13:13,560 understand how birds of a feather flock together. 1947 02:13:14,159 --> 02:13:16,409 It blows my mind this, 1948 02:13:16,439 --> 02:13:22,379 okay, I want everyone hear me now. Believe me later. You must 1949 02:13:22,739 --> 02:13:27,839 tweet this episode, in relation to Hillary Clinton's documentary 1950 02:13:27,929 --> 02:13:30,569 before you watch the documentary. Listen to this 1951 02:13:30,569 --> 02:13:35,729 show. Telly tell people that because it puts a lot of context 1952 02:13:36,269 --> 02:13:41,999 into what's going on. If you are voting in a Democratic primary, 1953 02:13:42,029 --> 02:13:44,159 by the way, there's also you know, when it comes down to 1954 02:13:44,159 --> 02:13:46,559 election, there are also independent parties and not just 1955 02:13:46,559 --> 02:13:50,369 to you can choose from. I always choose for the guy who wants to 1956 02:13:50,369 --> 02:13:54,389 build a dome around something and give flame throwers to to 1957 02:13:54,389 --> 02:14:01,439 teachers. But bear in mind, the history of what appears to be 1958 02:14:01,439 --> 02:14:04,169 the two front runners Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders and what 1959 02:14:04,169 --> 02:14:07,229 you've heard today and propagate that formula, let people know 1960 02:14:07,229 --> 02:14:11,429 about it. It's and I'm just as guilty of it. I forget. You 1961 02:14:11,429 --> 02:14:14,999 know, I've been looking at Joe Biden for weeks now on this, 1962 02:14:15,029 --> 02:14:18,149 this that just look at how senile he is. And I completely 1963 02:14:18,149 --> 02:14:21,899 forget to like, oh, man, he wrote the bill. It wasn't just, 1964 02:14:22,199 --> 02:14:25,469 you know how he said up? Thank God. I was a part of that. When 1965 02:14:25,469 --> 02:14:29,099 and by the way, when he says I was a part of the the assault 1966 02:14:29,099 --> 02:14:33,629 weapon ban yet the assault with a man actually was what first 1967 02:14:33,629 --> 02:14:38,729 title in the actual 1994 crime bill. So it wasn't a separate 1968 02:14:38,729 --> 02:14:42,119 entity, because because he wrote a whole thing. And you can't 1969 02:14:42,119 --> 02:14:45,599 just let the man take credit for one part and not the other part. 1970 02:14:47,729 --> 02:14:53,639 And in closing, what I find just what baffles me is he has a son 1971 02:14:53,639 --> 02:14:56,939 who allegedly struggles with addiction. 1972 02:14:56,970 --> 02:14:59,430 Oh, it's not a legend. He's been arrested for it. He was kicked 1973 02:14:59,430 --> 02:15:00,810 out of the middle of try for it. 1974 02:15:01,739 --> 02:15:07,229 So where's the compassion? This thing can't mean drugs is not 1975 02:15:07,229 --> 02:15:11,579 something that you, they always set it up and I'm gonna close on 1976 02:15:11,579 --> 02:15:16,259 this. We heard in The Godfather, what they say, you can sell 1977 02:15:16,259 --> 02:15:19,199 drugs now and you leave it down there with the niggers. And I 1978 02:15:19,199 --> 02:15:22,559 don't use that word very often on this show. I don't think I 1979 02:15:22,559 --> 02:15:26,609 ever have but just to show you the potency of the idea. Yeah, 1980 02:15:26,639 --> 02:15:29,789 bring it in, leave it down there with the you know, the blacks, 1981 02:15:30,179 --> 02:15:33,299 quote unquote, the blacks and you know, let it kill them, but 1982 02:15:33,299 --> 02:15:38,459 it always seeps out and it comes, you know, comes at him 1983 02:15:38,459 --> 02:15:43,559 close to home. And it there's no, there's no compassion. And 1984 02:15:43,559 --> 02:15:46,229 like I said, the only solution is we had to police ourselves. 1985 02:15:46,769 --> 02:15:51,479 We have to have police come from the community, and an essay 1986 02:15:52,109 --> 02:15:55,019 and pay attention to who you're voting for. That does matter and 1987 02:15:55,019 --> 02:15:58,889 I'm talking local, real true politics is local look at what's 1988 02:15:58,889 --> 02:16:01,289 going on in your city like City Council, look at who your local 1989 02:16:01,289 --> 02:16:04,439 representatives are, who your representatives in, in Congress 1990 02:16:04,439 --> 02:16:07,199 in the Senate. These are the people you need to hound, the 1991 02:16:07,229 --> 02:16:10,109 the figureheads, and there's, there's reasons for them, 1992 02:16:10,109 --> 02:16:12,749 there's important reasons for them, but look at your local 1993 02:16:12,749 --> 02:16:15,419 situation. That's where you can change the most.
