I argue we would be better because I feel like we keep it real raw and uncut. On the Salem news channel, but you get all your favorite people on there as well as your boy be Tatum and also if you have an Android and you don't want to go to the dot com Android or iPhone you can download the app that just put in Salem news channel in the respective search engine and you will find it if you have a Roku same thing for the Roku, put it in a search engine, you will find it bookmark it so that every time I go live on the radio, you'll be there to listen. Angela Davis is hilarious to me that the people who are the most radical. And this is why I believe that our whole history of slavery is probably, I would argue is probably 60% accurate. I think they lied to us about 40% of this. These people that are alive today that are of African descent. Unless you, unless you black, I almost purple, blurple, then you mix with something. You mix with something. And Angela Davis the activist radical fugitive Angela Davis was shocked when she learned that the Mayflower was full of her descendants. When I say full of her descendants that her roots went back to the white folks that came here on the Mayflower. And people that don't know about Angela Davis, she was notorious for working with the Communist Party, USA and the black Panthers in the 60s and 70s, her involvement in the armed takeover of the California courtroom resulted in the death of four people in her placement on the FBI most wanted list. This woman was, I won't say incredible because incredible sound like a positive thing. I don't know if what she was doing was positive at all. But Angela Davis was the biggest advocate anti white pro black come to find out how people was responsible for a lot of stuff that went on in this country that was negative. And it's funny because at least she came on and admitted to it. That she was shocked to find these things out. She had asked that action because she believed that she said, no, I couldn't believe this. That's what she said when she laughed on the interview. She said, no, my ancestors did not come here on the Mayflower, which was her response saying that she was shocked. And I think it's hilarious. These people get so woke. And they are a part of what they consider to be the problem, the racist America, all of the above. And I would argue that many black people have ancestry, you know, dating back to them being a part of their lineage being a part of slavery. And I'll say this as well. You know, they always want to cry by reparations, but let's do your genealogy. Many black people in America won't get reparations. Because a lot of y'all are probably associated with the white folks coming over here and many forms of fashion. Let me move on. I got some people calling in about the subject matter before about homosexuality and things that I was essentially talking about and I want to make this very clear on my show because people jump in halfway through the conversation and they get out weird. I don't care. To be honest. What people doing in the confines of their own home or what they do in public. I mean, it ain't nothing to do with me, man. If it ain't paying my bills and they feed my kids, I really don't care what you're doing. Just don't just don't force it on me, man. And I, of course, I see two men holding hands is weird to me. It's weird to me. Like, I'm like, it just makes me feel uncomfortable. However, I don't care. It ain't got nothing to do with me. I can internalize the fact that, oh man, it's kind of weird these two dudes touching each other like that. And I can acknowledge that I feel that way and acknowledge that I will treat you as the same as I'll treat anybody else. Because you hugging another man and rubbing his hands and stuff, don't define who you are, that just an action that you are taken as a person. And I separate the person from the action, you may be an incredible person and it is me an action I disagree with that you partake in. All right, let me get a couple calls in Victor from Sacramento, California. Welcome to the officer Tatum show. Something else defines who they are. You were mentioning that if it was such a scenario where they could be healed or delivered from being a homosexual that you don't see why they wouldn't jump at the chance to do that or there's something bigger than their sexuality that doubling them. And I think it's a victim's mentality. It reminds me of a story of Victor. Victor, hold on one second, Victor. I have to come to you after the break. I got to tell you guys about relief factor before the break. If you're looking for a solution to aches and pains, if you look for something that works, relief factor is your supplement. I take relief factor every day that I can. I don't have the streak anymore. I had to start over because I missed a couple of days, but I take it as often as I can because it works. And giving it a try for the first time and having an open mind taking it for a period of time and watching it work was one of the best decisions that I made. I advocate, really factor that every single person I talked to, not just on the radio. So if you're interested, go to relief factor dot com, get started with the three week quick starter for 1995, incredible price for what it can do for your life.

God is a lesbian. God is trans. God is gender non binary. God is straight. God is cisgender. God is black, God is white. God is Middle Eastern. God is Asian, God is differently abled, mentally and physically God is able bodied. God is you. And you are God, because you are a reflection of God's divine image. I can smell that fire coming up approaching him very soon. With the gasoline draws, I can smell the fumes right now. What are you even saying? I don't know why people gotta get so sold. I wanna say spiritual 'cause this has nothing to do with anything spiritual. I don't know why you gotta get so snazzy. You don't have to make up cool analogies and stuff. None of that is in the Bible. God is you and you are God. You ain't God. If you were a guy you wouldn't be out here cutting up, you ain't God. And God ain't gay and God ain't black. I get I kinda get what he's trying to say with black and white and meaning that God understands you, but that's not what he said. He said God is none binary. God is trans. No, he's not. But you know what he didn't say? And it's the same thing that happened with that pastor with the analogy of the kid saying, can I still smoke marijuana and go to and be a Christian? Of course, he used the analogy of marijuana because that's somewhat insignificant. He didn't say, can I be a pedophile and be a Christian diddy? No, he didn't.

Does the Left Hate God?
"I saw a clip the other day about this whole January 6th thing. They played us, ladies and gentlemen. These people are evil and I prayed that God punished them according to their EODs against his people. They hate God. I'm telling you, they put on a front just so they don't go straight to hell. They want to take a detour before they go to hell. They don't want to go straight. So they put on the front and act like, oh, yeah. They put the ass on their forehead the other day. They the most day the biggest Devils in on Planet Earth and they put ash on their forehead. Let me just say this 'cause I'm getting mad. You are you how you gonna put ashes on your forehead and you support abortions? We're in the Bible doesn't say that God is pleased with people murdering their children. Because what you're doing when you are participating in abortion, what you're saying, I'm God. And I know what's best, and I know the future, and I'm gonna take a life because I'm God. That's what that's essentially what you're doing. Because in reality, God knows us before we are born, therefore we are gods before we ever become a person outside of the womb.

Former President Trump Visits Ohio
"All right, I got a bunch of other stuff I want to talk about. I want to give a shout out to president Trump. You know, I've been very critical of president Trump lately because he had he been doing a lot of shenanigans that I think is absolutely ridiculous and it's going to cost him the presidency in 2024. However, I really respect and appreciate what he did in Ohio. He went to east Palestine, Ohio, he flew in on his plane and he brought supplies to those people while dummy McDonnell DOM half dead falling up the stairs of Air Force One. I mean, we should be ashamed I was telling my wife this last night. How dare these people install a president that's that is that bad. I want to say all the stuff that I want to cuss and do all of these things to describe how I feel about President Biden, but I'm not going to do that 'cause I'm a Christian and I don't want to represent Jesus that way. However, I'm incredibly frustrated on a day to today basis. Thinking about how they screwed us and they put a half dead man in the office as the president.

3 Killed Including a Child in a Florida Shooting Spree
"This kind of came across my attention earlier today I saw a video a dramatic video of police officers arresting a black man as the police ran up on him, one of them kicked him down to the ground, they wrestled him. While he was on the ground, they found that there was a gun in his pocket and the officers were able to detain this lunatic 19 year old man, I'm not going to say his name because his name is irrelevant, unfortunately, this young man decided that he wanted to go on a killing spree at this point. I'm still doing my research on figuring out the totality of circumstances in this case. But it appears that this particular young man decided to go on a killing spree killing a 38 year old woman in her home, don't know how he was related to her. He ended up killing a spectrum news 13 journalist, a 9 year old girl and injuring a two or three other people in a shooting spree. And if you have been following this case, I want to walk you through a timeline of kind of what happened on February the 22nd, which was yesterday. And I'm going to give you a quick timeline on it so you kind of know the rundown of how these things happen around 11 a.m. on 11 a.m., a 38 year old woman was shot in pond heels in which case she died at the scene in Orange County deputy said or Orange County deputies testimony was the detective responded to the scene, did a follow-up, gained evidence and developed a good lead for the suspect and then around four p.m. deputies were called to a 9-1-1 call where two people were shot on that same street that the young lady in her home was shot

"Revere. Calling now that 877-381-3811. All right, I don't know about you, but I can never get enough of Angela Davis, you know. Marxist violent revolutionary. Even though she was found innocent, I might say. Prima jury after she escaped. And she's been on the public goal ever since, pretty much as a tenured professor. What all commies go, they go to our colleges and universities, where they become continued professors. The old Soviet Union exists in exists on our college campuses. And these are the places where you spend a fortune to have your kids destroyed. Their brains turned into mush. Angela Davis on the pubic broadcasting system, PBS yesterday, cut 18 go. Any idea what you're looking at? That is a list of the passengers on the Mayflower. No, I can't believe this. No. My ancestors did not come here on the main floor. Please, no. You know, ladies and gentlemen. I would be proud of my ancestors around the Mayflower. What is it with these commies? They live in the lap of luxury. They make a ton of money. They live like they never could live in any other part of the world. Where most of them would be locked up by these various regimes. What is it about these people? That have absolute 100% freedom. And yet they think they're fighting a revolution. These are the real insurrectionists, ladies and gentlemen. Now, mister producer asked me, well, does that mean Angela Davis has to pay reparations? I thought this was a profound question. A profound question is Erwin curry where still here, professor Erwin curry, I would throw it to him. But then I got to thinking. She probably has to pay reparations to herself. She's ancestors who were on the Mayflower, and yet she has ancestors who were no doubt. Slaves. So she'll have to pay reparations to herself. How would that work? Nobody knows. But now, now she's been found out. She goes all the way back to the Mayflower. Does it make her an oppressor or an oppressed? It's complicated, isn't it? In which of the boats or they said the Mayflower? Okay, the Mayflower. I thought she was going to have a connection right there. I thought she was going to deliver her kidney right there, but no. Maybe it is hilarious, isn't it really? For now on, she'll be remembered. As a descendant of one of those or more, from the Mayflower. And I would argue that if the time comes when reparations are to be paid, that she should pay reparations. That received them. She should pay them. And we want to thank the Harvard professor what's his name for tracking this down and figuring out what's his name Lewis something. I don't know why does it matter? He's the guy that got in a tangle with the cops and then Obama started trashing the cops. Remember all that? I remember all of that. And I think that what's his name? Say again? Lewis Gates. Henry Louis Gates, three names. Very good. I've always wondered that to, why do people have three names? Yeah, it was social security number, isn't that good? No, three names. All right, so there we have it. That's way too much fun. Where am I on my patch here, mister producer. See here. I think I misplaced the damn thing. You know, if you own

"And not only humans, but our fate is interconnected with the fate of other animals, other non human animals on this planet, and the flora of this planet. You mentioned like the DA in San Francisco who just got recalled, are there big wins you can point to in recent years that do indicate a more like positive change? Well, you know, yes, they've been big wins, but they've also been losses. In a sense, it's been about, you know, one step forward and two steps backward. I'm especially concerned about this tendency now to challenge the abolitionist movements of that have emerged and conjunction with black lives matters movement. And let me say parenthetically that I think that so many people came to identify with the call to make Black Lives Matter because they recognize that it wasn't focus only on black people, but rather the message of that demand is that in order for all lives to matter, we have to guarantee that Black Lives Matter. So there's a kind of logic of intersectionality inherent in the very demand. But, you know, I'm someone who's learned never to simply assume that one or two or three or four progressive victories means that we are moving in a radical direction. We always not only have to defend the victories that we when, but we have to push forward. And this is a period I think that calls for even more intense organization, organizing efforts on the part of everyone who believes in justice and equality. And freedom. So before I let you go, last question, but when it comes to your legacy, you're on t-shirts around posters, you're in songs by The Rolling Stones and John Lennon, Yoko Ono. Knowing that your name and face have become something so much bigger than you, I feel like you won't have a say in what your legacy will be. Knowing that, does that legacy differ from what you would want it to be? Well, you know, whenever people have asked me about my legacy, I have, I pointed out that I'm not so interested in my individual legacy. As I am in the legacy of the movements that I have been involved in. I feel pretty uncomfortable in this position of an individual who should be concerned about a legacy. Even after all these years, is that true? Yes, even after all these years because I'm aware of the ways in which especially in capital societies, there's a tendency to focus on the individual at the expense of allowing people to understand that history unfolds not as a consequence of the actions and the words of great individuals, but rather as a consequence of people coming together, joining hands and uniting with their differences. Not across their differences, but with their differences in a quest to create more freedom and more.

"And also on white people, you know, perhaps this is a perhaps I'm referring to a quest for a different kind of intersectional understanding, but I do think that now more than ever before, we can glimpse the possibilities of that kind of understanding that, yeah, mass incarceration. And let me put it this way. A mass incarceration is not simply a reenactment of slavery. I mean, of course, we're living continually the afterlife of slavery. But when one looks at the extent to which what we call the prison industrial complex emanates from global capitalism and the soaring prison populations that we have experienced in this country are focused largely on communities of color on indigenous black and LatinX and Muslim communities, but also also poor white communities. That this same phenomenon is now beginning to be a scene in places like Brazil and Egypt, for example, in Europe. So this is a global phenomenon that is important even as we. Recognize the globality of climate change. I was thinking that because of what you said earlier about how we need to look beyond our own identities. And so many people though today, you know, they want to feed the poor, they want to help homeless people, but when it comes to voting, their votes don't indicate that those desires are real. Well, you know, it's an indication of the fact that there is so much more work to be done in this country and if I point to this summer of 22 of 2020 as a turning point, it is not so much because of what was accomplished then, but rather because I think that we have created the foundation of for a new kind of organizing that emphasizes ways in which we're all interconnected..

"I love miss major. That is the amazing trans elder for everyone listening. I was asking about your own experience of queerness because for many, many outlets who interview you. You know, much of the time your queerness doesn't even come up once. Yeah, well, you know, I'm a person who doesn't focus so much on individual identities as I do on collective struggles. You know, I'm a member of the black community, but I don't usually say as a black person. My whole notion of identity comes not from what a person happens to be, but from that person's willingness to engage and radical struggles to create a better world. And so I would say that the tension between identity and politics or one might describe it as the politics of identity or the identification of political struggles as central in our quest to change the world. I'm interested in struggle. Let me put it that way. And I've always been. Since I was a very young child, more so than being interested in us simply naming the identity of a person, whether it be myself or someone else. I mean, I always point out that there are so many black people with whom I can not identify. And so therefore, I don't talk about the black community as a homogeneous community. And I don't talk about the black struggle as a struggle only of black people. I talk about the struggle as a struggle in which people of many different racial and ethnic backgrounds have participated and are responsible for the victories that have been won. I totally hear that, especially when you are framing the argument. However, right now, abolition, the prison duchess complex were having these conversations in the mainstream..

"Even at that time. There really would have been nothing for me to write about at that time. I was supportive of what we then called the gay liberation movement, but I myself did not identify as queer and was not involved in the kinds of relationships that would have generated that kind of identification. Oh, okay, that makes sense. Let me say that I totally support the politics of coming out. But at the same time, I'm critical of the assumption that one's identity has to be the major driving force that determines one's politics. And I should say that I was supportive of the gay liberation movement long before I identified as a member of the LGBTQ community. This is a logic that is a pretty much the same that I've attempted to use with respect to other movements of liberation. I don't have to be a member of the LatinX community to be a passionate supporter of anti LatinX racism to place defense of immigrants, for example, at the center of my own political awareness of. And I should point out that I've always been critical of movements who so aim is assimilation, including those black movements that are only concerned with integration, inclusion, and not radical transformation. So while early on before I enter as a member of the LGBTQ community, I embrace those sectors of the gay movement that were antiracist and anti capitalist. I didn't identify with narrow demands for equality in the military or, or marriage equality, not that I wouldn't be supportive of these demands as civil rights demands, but just as civil rights for racially oppressed people don't go nearly far enough in terms of calling for economic and social and cultural transformation..

"Other article was on the question of how gender equality is inherent to capitalism, and that was inspired very much by the ideas the philosophical ideas of my mental or Herbert marcuse, but I suppose I can say briefly that as someone who had been active for quite a long time and who had been rushing around from one rally to the next and trying to engage in intellectual labor at the same time, this was really the first time that I had the opportunity to reflect deeply on this question of gender. I don't want to oversimplify things at all, but do you think you might not have found your way to becoming such a significant figure in the ambulance movement? How do you not spend time behind bars? You know, I'm not sure how to answer that question. For one, I don't really consider myself so significant as an individual. I see all of the work that I've done in relation to abolition and other movements as a part of collective struggles. So I don't know whether I would have played exactly the same role, had I not gone to jail, but I like to think that there would not have been any major a difference in the role that I played. You know, whether, you know, whether I would have become a known figure or not, probably not. Probably hardly anyone would have known my name, had it not been for the incredibly phenomenal movement that was organized all over this country and all over the world, and so I like to think of myself as standing in for that movement, you know, rather than as an individual who has the kind of distinctive qualities that would lead to becoming unknown person. And isn't that the great irony too of arresting you and putting you on trial is that it did make you this international rockstar, right? And you were able to use that celebrity to become even more effective in your work. I have to say that I did not welcome that role. And I still feel a bit uncomfortable. You're very humble. Well, tell me this. The first place you were housed was the women's House of detention, and you've written extensively about what a queer place that prison was. I could not tell though if you were out and aware of your own sexuality at that time, how aware were you or how were you thinking about it? Well, I, you know, cringe when I look at, you know, some of the language that I use in describing life in the women's House of detention and how I was often critical of the way that some of the women seem more interested in hooking up in personal relationships and developing surrogate family formations than organizing against the jail administration. I mean, that was how I, you know, I saw my major identity as political. And to a certain extent, I still do. I didn't identify as queer at the time. It would be many years before this identification would become meaningful for me as an individual, but I do think that spending time in the house of women's house of detention, the house of D we called it, and being inside a queer culture had had an impact on me. Had a great impact on me. I was wondering that because in your autobiography, which amazingly was edited by Toni Morrison, you do not mention you're a sexuality, but the book was published in 1974, and I didn't know if including your own sexuality would have been an option.

"When it comes to prison abolition and these ongoing issues of mass incarceration, we have suddenly entered this new moment where these ideas are being discussed in the mainstream. And more than that, they are being taken seriously. They're no longer only considered an extreme or radical point of view. It is a big, real change, and one of the leading figures in this movement for many years has been Angela Davis, who Azure here. When it comes to labeling her a leader, that's not something that she's entirely comfortable with. There's a tendency to focus on the individual at the expense of allowing people to understand that history unfolds not as a consequence of the actions and the words of great individuals, but rather as a consequence of people coming together, joining hands and uniting with their differences. Now that across their differences, but with their differences. Angela has a new book out that she co authored called abolition, feminism now, and like it or not. Angela's name and face have become this thing in our culture, right? Assemble the struggle for black liberation, anti capitalism, abolition, feminism, and all that started when she was arrested in the 1970s, she was ultimately found not guilty, but her arrest and time spent incarcerated made her profile just explode. People around the world are rallied around her and as I alluded to earlier. That created some tension because a fact of Angela's story is that she is someone who did not seek out fame. She is not comfortable with it and yet she has also risen to that challenge and she's pointed always pointed that attention towards not herself but her work. So for the final episode of our season, Angela Davis joins us to talk about how we sustain and keep pushing movements forward. How you can be supportive of a movement and still be critical of it, I think that's a big one, and we talk about how her ideas of gender have continued to evolve.

"We're in this interesting moment in black movement where we came through this first massive wave of Black Lives Matter and lots of black organizing happening. And there's a moment right now that's really tense and intense. And it feels like a lot of internal tension coming out into the light. But for me, I'm like, this is also a moment of deep learning. And what we've never had before are the tools of communication and mediation and there's just so many people who are calling each other and being like, I don't want to see us struggle in this way. So the tension feels like a time loop. The tension feels not new. Time loop. It's super familiar. Every time any movement, so it's not just true for black movement, but any movement that starts to get national acclaim and attention. There's going to then be the backlash that happens within, well, who are you to and also the growing pains within the human drama, right? That the growing tones of something that grows. And also there's capitalism is capitalism, it's such a persistent weight that we forget that it's present, right? So it's to be caught up in a movement moment of like, yes, things are going great and we're raising some resources. I'm like, yes, you know, it's going great without remembering, oh, but capitalism means that we're going to fight over these resources as if it all belongs to us, rather than getting to work on just distributing the resources so that we can do the work, right? And so yeah, and I feel like I interrupt you. So you were saying, but we had that tools and people. But then the different tools that we have this time around, first of all, is so many more people are paying attention to black movement period. Yeah. And I think the crevasse majority of them are not getting caught up in that sort of movement internal stuff. I think the vast majority are just like, okay, Black Lives Matter. So I need to orient around that. And I think there's so much beautiful work coming out of the movement for black lives and southerners on new ground and the catalyst project and surge for white folks and allies. And it's just a different time of talking about racial justice and thinking about racial justice that is full of complexity. There's so many people asking the questions of what does blackness even mean? Interrogate this in a new way. And how do we keep it intersectional? How do we bring in all aspects of ourselves? So I'm finding it a very exciting time. Right? But it's also a fraught time. And we're able to look at it historically more, right? So when I talked, I got to be in a conversation with Angela Davis and she was like, yeah, we dealt with a lot of the same stuff, right? But now you all know how to take care of each other and take care of yourselves. And now there's therapy, right? I have so many people who are like movement folks who I'm like, I don't know where you'd be if you didn't have therapy with therapy. Right. You could be like, oh, I don't need to take all this personally, right? So there's just more tools. You mentioned grace Lee Boggs, and I'm so glad that I sat with her in Detroit. In her last years. And also just sat with that community around her. And you always, you quote her on this matter of transformative justice and transformation that we transform ourselves, right? What is it that she says? We must transform ourselves to trans transfer in the world. I feel like that is something that this generation and time, you know, and your generation and the ones coming after of know. And that is new. That is a new thing to internalize. Maybe that's kind of what Angela Davis was talking about to you. Yeah. I feel like there is this sense of, it's not either or. It's just that you are a personal frontline. What's happening in your life, and in the relationships you have with your family. And how you treat people when you're upset with them, you know, I always ask people that when I talk about transformative justice, are you punishing anyone right now? You know? And could that punishment be shifted into a boundary or a request? Is there a courageous conversation that needs to be had? How do you personally begin to practice whatever is in alignment with your largest vision? Abolition is something we practice every day in our lives. Liberation emergent strategy, all of these are things to practice every day. And I guess maybe to bring it back to the first question of spiritual practice, right? To me, that's the ultimate spiritual practice as well. It's not about the bombastic meditation retreat. It's about, can you sit every day? Can you bring mindfulness into every activity? Which also brings us back to fractals. Yes. Isn't it beautiful? Isn't it absolutely beautiful? Yeah, I mean, you're really, it's an idea, but you're also you're talking about I keep using this language. How do we really internalize in our bodies? This is what it's about, that what you do, what you practice in your everyday, it's what makes is a pattern that is part of that larger pattern that you want to see. That's right. I mean, there's so much awakening. So I always tell people that you're always practicing things. So it's not like you go from not practicing to practicing. But it's, are you practicing things on purpose? Are you practicing things you would want to practice? Or are you practicing what someone else has told you? Is the right way to do stuff? And once you start practicing on purpose, then you can actually practice liberation and justice and freedom. And yeah, then I think you begin to have this contentment that comes from practice. I know that I won't see total liberation in my lifetime, but I also feel very satisfied with how I'm practicing liberation every single day and in every relationship. And moving towards life. And moving towards life. Yeah. Life moves towards life, you know? That's the trick..

Activist and Filmmaker Chris Rufo Talks All Things 'Anti-Capitalist'
"Welcome back to mister CRT. Chris rufo. So you mentioned some of these anti capitalists. These people who wish to destroy America tell us who they teach who they consult to and the kinds of money these anti capitalists, like Robert Angelo, Angela Davis, and Ibrahim Kennedy make. So as anti capitalist, they're doing quite well on. They Kris. Hey, yeah. Yeah, and that's really the rub, right? I mean, no one is really anti capitalist. If you look at the four remaining, the three rather remaining socialist and communist countries in Asia, you know, China is a communist country Vietnam as a continuous country. I believe it's Cambodia as the third one. They all have a smaller government as a share of DD GDP than the United States. Actually, in practice, the government of the United States is more socialistic than all of the remaining socialist countries. Everyone knows that capitalism is the great generator of wealth. And for a lot of the critical race theorists, they preach anti capitalism because it's fashionable. It's chic. It's perceived as high status, but they all practice the lives of vicious and greedy capitalists. They won't do it accumulate resources and money. They'll take money from oil companies from technology companies from everybody to feed themselves from the capitalist machine. But they justify it by saying that this is simply redistribution. This is simply taking the fruits of illegitimate capitalist capital accumulation and redistributing it to the great kind of proletariat minds that make up the Vanguard of this revolution. And if you look throughout history, the communists have always impoverished the poor and enriched the powerful. This is a thing that has happened in every communist revolution since the very first one in Russia in 1917. The cadre, the elite, the party members, always suck up the wealth and labor of their countries in order to further their political goals while impoverishing the people that they're purported to help. It's no different in the kind of hyper capitalists the United States than it is in the hyper communist Soviet Union of a hundred years

Colin Kaepernick Is Infuriating
"Know, anybody who still wants to protect or stand up with or side with Colin Kaepernick. The ex NFL quarterback who has done nothing with his life except gra his Afro to look like the most militant person since Angela Davis. He knows he's part white. And he knows his family who birthed him were black and gave him up. And then a rich white family took him in and gave him the life he saw richly loved, sheltered, protected him, were able to have him attend wonderful schools and get that much closer to playing football on the highest level. But that doesn't matter. Grow your Afro out, have a Muslim extremist girlfriend who pushes you and cheers you on. And just become a general American hating asshole. So he's got a new show on Netflix. I saw a few minutes of it on Friday night. I didn't watch it because I want to. I watched it because I wanted to get angry. And it did not disappoint me. But this fucking guy, you know, look, he had a couple of good seasons, not gonna lie. But he's got more famous for taking a knee before ball games before he lost his job and then his mind and all of his common sense. So I watched this snippet of the show, it's so damn infuriating, guys. This asshole compares the NFL's draft process to that of a slave auction. You know, look, you gotta say one thing about Netflix. They let Dave Chappelle say what he wants to say, so I'm not gonna complain about Netflix putting this on the air. I'm not gonna have my cake and eat it too. Look, I want Chappelle's show to be on air. I want the trans activist to shut the hell up. So I'm all for Colin Kaepernick having a show, but the content is so stupid. This is gonna hang him out to dry. People are gonna know he's lost his mind completely. Comparing the NFL Draft to a slave auction with black athletes and shackles and white owners whipping them.

Reimagining Our Country
"All right so our first topic. you know. we're not gonna be able to talk about this much longer. Which is a fabulous fabulous thing. Oh boy but we are going to talk about what's happening in terms of white house. Politics for a moment is getting interesting. Yes on tuesday attorney. General william bar finally went against donald trump's lies about the election and told the associated press that there was in fact in no evidence of widespread fraud. In other words. He was telling the truth. Thank you william bar for doing that. Time too far. He's feeling a little like he doesn't owe anything to trump right now. This point because he's on the outs and so he's getting a little Anyway when he did that there was backlash from right wing media and also from trump who is still claiming fraud. One month after the election and who on wednesday night posted a forty six minute speech filled with more lies. It's been reported that donald trump is also considering all these pardons for his children. Don jr. eric ivanka his son-in-law jared kushner as well as his lawyer rudy giuliani. None of them have been charged with any crime. They would have to put on paper. What are the crimes that they have allegedly or not committed in order for there to be a part in as far as i understand so there's a lot of shall we say political chaos that a lot of people are still addicted to but i'm over it. You're over but it's like roman times you know it's like a bad. Pbs like caligula show anyway meanwhile while that is happening and give it up for billy bar finally took him a couple of years but he finally stated facts meanwhile while this is all happening joe biden is forced to stay patient through the chaos and continue with his transition and while i do think this whole trump side show is going to continue even after he leaves office. Maria and i think he already has Whether the big cable news networks are gonna cover him. he'll have the right wing covering him no matter there's this whole question about the future of politics after trump right so we talked about how much black lives matter and the movement for racial justice this year has impacted right the election but then on wednesday former president barack obama and also bestselling author now please suggested movements like de-fund the police are counterproductive. I guess you can use a snappy slogan like defunding police but you know you lost a big audience the minute you say it which makes it a lot less likely that you're actually going to get the changes you want done but if you instead say let's reform the police department. So that everybody is being treated fairly. The divert young people from getting into crime. And if there's a homeless guy can maybe we send a mental health worker there instead of an armed unit that could end up resulting in a tragedy suddenly a whole bunch of folks who might not otherwise. Listen to you are listening to you. So the key is deciding. Do you want to actually get something done. Do you want to feel good among the people yard agree with and if so but here's the thing the way he it. Why did you have to be so dismissive of a move because it comes across as dismissive. Why couldn't you just be a little bit more respectful. I guess why couldn't knee of picked up the phone and had a conversation with angela davis. Okay who in many ways is his political godmother all of ours political godmother's because of her lung jetty and resistance and survival throughout all of this and what. Angela davis says is they weren't aware of all of the problems in the judicial system of the way in which it has been historically used and continues to be used as a weapon of oppression against black people. They wouldn't be so defensive about the whole thing. How can you say that This demonstrate that there is Justice in the american coors when we know that the jails prisons across the country are filled the brand with black and brown people. We know that on death row right now. The vast majority of the prisoners who are going to be executed are people of color. We know that when a black person is picked up from community and brought to jail he's going to have to depend on a public defender because more than likely he won't be able to hire a good lawyer and this public defender. What is he going to do. he's going to tell him to cop a plea even though he knows. And many cases that his client is just as innocent precedes. And so i'm going to try to do now. Is to build the very same kind of movement that was built around me and the kind of movement that liberated from prison and ordered to free more brothers and sisters. Because that's that's a real significance of this victory and
The Nod
The Case for Police Abolition
"At. The time of this recording one thousand seventeen people in the US have been shot and killed by police this past year, and as the numbers continue to grow. It's got meany questioning why we're even need cops in the first place, but the question of polishing the police also makes a lot of people nervous so today we're going straight to the source in talking to an actual abolitionist. Bill Fina Y'all on. It's an important conversation that you don't want to miss. This is the nod. We've heard it all before. Give Cops Body Cams hold them accountable, cautious need diversity and bias training. We need community policing black police. We need Brown police, but as the years roll by an efforts at reform are showing no signs of stopping the brutal violence against black people in this country, a different call gaining traction is the call to abolish the prison industrial complex, which is made up of prisons, policing and surveillance all forms contrary to what a lot of. Of people believe this isn't a new school. Of Thought, it's been around since the eighties, and it's been embraced by people all over the world. Much of what we know about it. Today has been studied practice and built upon three black women. We have to mention Angela Davis Ruth Wilson, Gilmore and Mariam Kaba Today. We're joined by bill. Fina Y'all want a Baltimore based restorative justice practitioner. Who writes about abolition and how to practice it in our community? It'll pheno. Thank, you so much for being here today. It's awesome. Have you thank you? Thank you for having me so abolition. Is Abolition essentially what we talk about admission we're saying is that a world cannot just without the physical presence of police in prisons, but a world where we all have, our needs met in a way that we do not have to commit the crimes that laid us in prison, and with policing right, and so abolition forces us to complete your frame how we think about the concept of prisons and lease, and to be honest about the history of it prisons. Prisons were created as an alternative to slavery. It says so and the thirteen th amendment, and so when we look if that that violence and genocide history of policing prisons, abolition says it's not possible for us to have world rabies dynamics exist so I'm sure we've all seen a lot of the back and forth in the media, and even just an online conversations about what's reformist versus what is abolitionist. What sorts of things are absolutely out of the question or Believed that we can have rover prisons and policing exist. We just have to make it better. And abolitionist believed that is not possible behalf to completely get rid of it and create new systems and structures. How did you come to fruition? Personally had become part of your life identified. The woman is came to woman is during college was definitely my sophomore. Year of college and I thought begins to stand what it means to exist as A. A black woman in this world I understood this system is structured. That are against US I think a lot of people don't understand that the reform to slavery with prisons. The reform to slave catchers was police, and so when you have stopped with that truth as a woman as as a former refugee as an immigrant to this country will hold, I, experience, it was not possible for me to say I love blackness and not become an abolitionist. Something else. That's near and dear to your heart, and also the work that you do is the story of Keith Davis Junior talked to us a little bit about Keith and his story so keep Davis Junior. Is a twenty eight year old black man for Baltimore, who was shot at? Times by the Baltimore Police Department in June of Twenty fifteen. He's being accused and they're saying that it gun was founded in Keith was connected to a murder. In March he was sentenced to fifty years, and after five years in five rows, Amish. It's been an ongoing case that five years WWLTV's dedicated to. Always bring her into the space. Kelly Davis has four beautiful children and Khloe Amari and Jaden and his case is so connected to what was happening in Baltimore after Twenty fifteen after the murder of Freddie Gray talk to me a bit about how keeps life and story relates specifically to your Abolition Work Keith case is connected to abolition one, if forces us to see kids humanity beyond what he did as a child chief, interaction with the criminal justice system started very early, and what we know is that it was a result of all of the conditions that came with Keith birth his stories parents. Parents his poverty, and so forth, and so as a result of that chief found himself funneled into a system. That once you've been in there. It's easier to keep coming back. If Selah commits a crime, we have to ask ourselves if the necessities of somebody is not being met, and instead were thrown them in a cage cage is actually more violent and transformed into a even more violent person with Keith case what we've seen has been a blatant disregard for any kind of laws, any kind of good faith and what we saw for the past five years is lies and lies and lies and confirms.

I'm Amy Goodman with one gun solace with part two of today's edition of fifty years ago that right fifty years ago this week, the nineteen sixty eight democratic national convention in Chicago became a national spectacle as a major political event turned into chaos that culminated with a police riot, much of it unfolding on live national television. While Hubert Humphrey was nominated as the democratic candidate in nineteen sixty eight inside despite the fact he didn't run in any primaries outside was where the news was where police were clubbing teargassing thousands of protesters. For more. We continue our interviews with Bobby Seale founding chairman, Black Panther party was in the protests at the beginning in Chicago. Bill Ayers was arrested on August twenty seven fifty years ago and Bernardine Dohrn both Bernardine and Bill longtime activists for peace and racial Justice, former SDS that students for a democratic society and whether underground members. I mean, he Goodman with Juan Gonzalez one? Yes. Yes. With Bobby Seale again to follow up a Bobby on the conversation. We were having that the end of our previous segment when you were talking about how once Richard Nixon was elected president, he ordered. His aides to begin immediate eradication of the Black Panther party. One of the interesting things that most people are not aware of is that years later report came out in the New York Times that the f. b. i. had conducted a CPR secret poll among black Americans and found that more than twenty five percent of African Americans were supporters of the Black Panther party felt that the Black Panther party was fighting.
