I like that one.

00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:25.519
So yeah. The phone lines are open eight hundred nine
8
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:29.399
to fifteen eighty. Eight hundred nine to fifteen eighty. It
9
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:34.039
is a talking point Tuesday, and boy, the talking points
10
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:41.479
are flying around this Carmelo Anthony murder trial. I'm wearing
11
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:45.159
the purple If you're not on YouTube or Facebook or whatever,
12
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:49.600
I'm wearing the purple T shirt that says free Carmelo.
13
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.200
And the family and friends are asking, well, the gag
14
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:57.119
or horizontal. The family can't ask anything. The supporters of
15
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:01.880
the family are asking that you wear purple in solidarity
16
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:07.120
with Carmelo Anthony. To day, my understanding is a prosecution
17
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.040
and the defense have rested and they're going to do
18
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.000
some procedural things today and then the jury will have
19
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:18.040
this case of the seventeen year old child, one hundred
20
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:21.680
and fifty pound kid who is approached by two hundred
21
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:29.400
plus pound kids and it was raining. He was under
22
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:32.159
like a canopy. They asked him to get out from
23
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:35.200
under the canopy and into the rain. He did not comply.
24
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:39.200
This is a a track meet at a school that
25
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:42.519
none of these kids went to, by the way, and
26
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.760
the one of the big football players grabs him, tries
27
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.400
to toss him out. From what I'm hearing from witnesses,
28
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:57.000
there were other people besides the two large white kids
29
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:03.480
that were sing to Carmelo Anthony, who's just one hundred
30
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:07.879
and fifty pounds. The kid grabs them. Now we're talking Texas. Okay,
31
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:12.240
this is the South. This is not on Crenshaw. This
32
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:19.800
is deep South. And Anthony gets scared, uh, reaches in
33
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:26.800
his backpack, pulls out a pocket knife, allegedly stabs one
34
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:30.800
of the white football players once and then takes off running,
35
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.719
runs into you know. When he sees cops, he tells
36
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:41.199
them what happened. He inquires about the other kids, well,
37
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:46.759
being clearly not intending to kill that child. And this
38
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.319
is a young man, a kid, a seventeen year old
39
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:54.759
kid who was the captain of his football team, had
40
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:59.639
a job, was pulling a three point eight grade point
41
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:05.120
a Fterridge has no priors, very popular kid with people
42
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:11.199
of all races, friends of all races, and who once
43
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:16.719
saved another child from drowning by jumping in the water
44
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:21.560
and pulling the child out. This is a child, by
45
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:28.080
all accounts, a very good character. Right, he has two parents.
46
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.159
I mean, I hate saying this because you shouldn't have
47
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:35.000
to be perfect to get equal justice in this country.
48
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:40.280
But if you're a black boy, you do apparently have
49
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.280
to be perfect no prior as captain of the football team.
50
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:47.719
Blase Blase blah. A dirty cop armed to the teeth,
51
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:52.759
can kill somebody in self defense, can kill somebody not
52
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.520
in self defense and get away with it. But a
53
00:03:55.560 --> 00:04:01.199
seventeen year old who's being bullied a crowd of white
54
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:06.000
kids much bigger than him, two that we know for sure,
55
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:11.680
one put hands on him, and now is being charged
56
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:18.480
with first degree murder, not even manslaughters, facing ninety nine years,
57
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:28.279
ninety nine years. Clearly he was afraid. Clearly he was
58
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:36.000
not trying to kill the child. Clearly he was reacting.
59
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:39.639
This is not premeditated. How could it be premeditated when
60
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:46.439
the other guys were the aggressors. This is one of
61
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:50.360
the clearest cases of self defense I've ever read about,
62
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:55.920
and yet he's facing first degree murder. And not only that,
63
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.439
the white supremacists from all over the country have emerged
64
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:05.240
on this tech courthouse. You've got a January sixth insurrectionist
65
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:08.759
saying that he should be hanging from a tree. And
66
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:10.439
that's one of the reasons why I call it a
67
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:14.439
modern day lynching, because how did those lynchings occur? A kid,
68
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:19.399
usually a young boy, a child is accused of something
69
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:23.720
like Emmett Till supposedly whistling at a white woman or
70
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:30.319
allegedly raping or allegedly attacking a white person, and then
71
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:36.680
the mob descends and kills the child or young person
72
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:41.319
or man. That's what happens in lynchings. Here you have
73
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:48.160
a child who was afraid right tried to defend himself
74
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:52.399
and then ran away, and the crowd is circling outside
75
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:56.199
the courtroom saying he should be hanging from a tree,
76
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:03.600
saying terrible things, giving death threats on the family. The
77
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.600
family has a GoFundMe. They have actually had to use
78
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:10.759
part of that go fundme, not for legal defense, but
79
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:17.360
to actually relocate anonymously because they're getting death threats from
80
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:22.560
proud boys and oathkeepers and other various and sundry white supremacists.
81
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:27.560
And it's crazy because the family never never said it
82
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.639
was about race. It was a white supremacist Now, if
83
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.560
I'm looking at it, clearly there's a racial component in
84
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:36.759
that these two giant white boys, surrounded by a bunch
85
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:40.920
of other people who are taking their side, are bullying
86
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:46.600
a smaller black child. We've seen that movie before, but
87
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.120
it was neither the family nor the family's lawyer that
88
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:56.040
brought that into the conversation. It was these white supremacist
89
00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:01.920
groups and they are they are doing their best to
90
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.759
put their thumb on the scale. They are terrorizing the family,
91
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:07.279
and it's wild because, like I mentioned the other day,
92
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:10.600
I've written comments in a couple of threads about this case,
93
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:15.600
and I get attacked for defending this child who was
94
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:19.600
seventeen at the time. He's now nineteen, standing trial as
95
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:23.680
we speak, and I do feel that it's important for
96
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:27.920
the family who's been put under gag order by the judge.
97
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:34.600
Imagine your baby's on trial right facing his entire life
98
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:38.439
being taken away from him through modern day legal lynching,
99
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.240
and you can't say anything. You can't defend him in
100
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:45.480
the media. You can't say this is a child that
101
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:49.079
saved another child. This is a kid who had a job,
102
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:53.040
who was you know, whose brothers and sisters looked up
103
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:56.560
to him, who is well loved by coaches and other teenagers.
104
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:00.480
This is a child of impeccable character who feared for
105
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:05.319
his life. You cannot say anything because the judge has
106
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:11.600
muzzled you during a time when there's a critical need
107
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:13.920
for your voice. And so we have to be the
108
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:18.519
voices for that family. You don't have to, I have to.
109
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:23.160
This hurts my heart, you know. And for all the
110
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:27.959
people who like to complain about how there's not enough
111
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:30.439
great black men out there. To all the people that
112
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:35.360
like to complain and say that black people, black women,
113
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.399
black lives matter, don't stand for black men, shame on you,
114
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.840
because this is the moment when you are being called
115
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:46.240
upon to do it. So stop complaining and let's go.
116
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:53.279
Let's woman up, and let's go letters and calls and
117
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:58.600
social media posts, calls to lawmakers. This cannot happen in
118
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:03.799
the dark. In the age of mass technology. This family
119
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.240
cannot stand alone when all of us have the ability
120
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:13.120
to see and know what's going on. If you do
121
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:16.840
nothing more than wear purple today and say a small prayer,
122
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:21.320
this family needs to know that we are with him.
123
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:25.360
And I will say this, and this is important. The
124
00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:30.480
white supremacists have descended and they're talking their ish and
125
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:35.240
they're yelling and hollering and spreading hate. But a lot
126
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:38.039
of people have turned out in support of Carmelo and
127
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.120
his family as well. Black Lives Matter, grassroots is there,
128
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:46.120
movement for Black lives is there? The so called new
129
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:49.559
Black Panthers are there. I say so called because they're
130
00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:56.840
not sanctioned by the old Black panthers. There are moms
131
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:01.639
for Carmelo are there? There are coaches and other kids
132
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:06.080
that loved Carmelo that are there at the courthouse, coming
133
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:08.799
in at five and six in the morning, getting in line,
134
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:12.360
trying to get one of those seats right so that
135
00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:17.360
they can support the family in court. And we need
136
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:23.120
to join that love, join that love and let this
137
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:27.200
family know that this that this family is not alone,
138
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:30.320
and let America know that we see you. We see
139
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:34.159
you reversing justice, We see you taking the lynchings from
140
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:39.360
trees to the courtroom, and we are not having it.
141
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:44.759
You know where you are. Kabla talk fifteen eighty Okay, Well,
142
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:48.559
the Democratic Party is calling it for Hilton. It looks
143
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:53.360
like it's going to be Hilton and Besseta. No surprise there,
144
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:57.960
but that's what Kelly is dealing with. We dodged, apparently
145
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:03.000
we have died udged Spencer Pratt in the city of
146
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:09.240
Los Angeles, but not Steve Hilton for the state of California.
147
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:13.440
So the governor's race will be a straight sort of
148
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:21.639
mainstream Democrat versus Maga Republican with an immigrant twist. And
149
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:25.559
I you know, most people will say, okay, relaxed Republicans
150
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:29.279
don't win in California. I say not so fast. I
151
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:32.919
think it would be a mistake to take Hilton lightly.
152
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:38.399
He is media trained to the highest degree. He's got
153
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:41.519
the Trump machine behind him, and all the angry Spencer
154
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:46.919
Pratt money, The tech bros, the Brolagarcs will be investing
155
00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:51.159
in Hilton. He will be there beacon of hope for
156
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:55.879
magaizing the very blue Republic of California. And I call
157
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:58.039
it a republic as we are actually the fourth largest
158
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:03.320
economy in the world, making us the prize. Okay, deal
159
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:08.080
with it. Let's go to Queen calling us from La
160
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:13.679
Good morning, Queen Queen, you with mere.
161
00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:18.679
Grand rising, everybody, grand rising, missus Dominique. I actually just
162
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.759
wanted to speak on the young man you mentioned that
163
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:24.159
got the ninety nine years.
164
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:27.120
Well, he hasn't got them yet. We're hoping that that
165
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:30.480
there the jury hasn't started deliberating. But you're talking about
166
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:31.559
Carmelo Anthony.
167
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:34.960
Yes, very much so. I mean, of course that that
168
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:40.200
that uh situation. I definitely agree that that's totally insane.
169
00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:43.000
I just wanted to know, besides wearing purple, how can
170
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:43.960
we support.
171
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:48.679
Well, the family does have a go fund me. I
172
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:50.759
have to look it up because it's not on the
173
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:54.559
actual go fundme platform, it's on a different one. I
174
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.000
know that Black Lives Matter Grassroots dot org has it
175
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:04.120
posted on the on their instagram or there. I don't
176
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:05.600
know if it's on the website, but I know it's
177
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:08.919
on BLM Grassroots on Instagram. The family has a go fundme,
178
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:13.080
We can wear purple. We can reach out to news
179
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:18.320
organizations and politicians in that area. They're in Texas, so
180
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:25.279
it's a little tough. Yeah, it's a small town in Texas.
181
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:32.600
Let me look it up. It's yeah, I know, it's yeah,
182
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:36.240
ye too, right, And that's part of the reason why,
183
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:42.879
you know, it's so fraught with these white supremacists, you know,
184
00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:46.360
going out there. And what I'm what I'm seeing is
185
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:52.120
that the right wing press is piling on too. They
186
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:55.840
are showing pictures, really close up pictures of Carmelo Anthony
187
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:58.600
making it look like, you know, you know the deal,
188
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:00.600
we've seen it a million times, going to make him
189
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.919
look threatening when he was one hundred and fifty pounds
190
00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:10.480
seventeen year old. And I'm I haven't verified this yet,
191
00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:21.159
but I'm hearing that the judge was friends with the
192
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:23.200
child that was killed.
193
00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:26.200
Oh wow, so that's personal for him.
194
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:29.240
Yeah, you know, it's that those good old boy networks.
195
00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:33.799
So I guess today is closing arguments. Both sides have rested. Well,
196
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:37.120
you know it's called it's Frisco, Texas. Is where this is?
197
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:37.559
Okay?
198
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.879
Oh wow, yeah, oh yeah, I don't have word Okay,
199
00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:45.519
I don't know a lot about it, but it's Frisco, Texas.
200
00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:50.799
That's where he's f's.
201
00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:56.600
Yeah, calling right, it's the Collin County court room. And
202
00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:59.799
this the guy Austin metcalf is the kid who was
203
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.039
stab And here's the thing. Also, it sounds you know,
204
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:06.240
when you just hear it, it sounds a lot more
205
00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:08.759
like a gray area. But when you go into the details,
206
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:12.159
Carmelo pulled out a pocket knife, which a lot of
207
00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:16.519
young kids carry, young especially young boys, but girls too.
208
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:20.559
He stabbed the guy once in the chest and ran away.
209
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:23.039
It's not like you know the horror movie where he
210
00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:26.120
stabbed someone a whole bunch of times in a rage. No,
211
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:29.000
he was afraid. He pulled out his pocket knife, he
212
00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:34.759
stabbed and ran allegedly. So, yeah, they might be doing
213
00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:40.080
closing arguments now because it's later in Texas.
214
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:43.320
Well, I really wanted to know, you know, like I mentioned,
215
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:45.840
you know, I'm in Like I said, I'm in California.
216
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:48.080
Just wanted to know how I can't support how I
217
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:51.080
can share it because of course we just like they
218
00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:53.080
can get around and circle up, we can do the
219
00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:55.320
same thing, but in a positive way.
220
00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:59.159
Yeah, and I think we have to, you know, I
221
00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:03.480
think we have to because the right wing media. It's
222
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:07.000
incredible if you see the initial pictures that the young
223
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:11.960
man who who actually grabbed Carmelo Anthony looks scary, he
224
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:16.080
looks huge, he looks menacing. But now the New York
225
00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:19.320
Posts and others have found younger pictures of this guy,
226
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:22.480
metcalf and they're showing him when he was maybe fourteen
227
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:25.720
to make it look like he was the victim. And
228
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:29.360
then they're showing extreme close up shots of Carmelo to
229
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:34.240
make him look like he's the aggressor. So it's give
230
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:37.919
send Go. That's the platform they're using. It's not GoFundMe.
231
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:44.720
It's called give send Go and they yeah, and I
232
00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:46.559
don't know the exact name of it, but if you
233
00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:52.799
put Carmelo Anthony in oh, it's help Carmelo Official Fund,
234
00:16:53.080 --> 00:17:00.279
Help Carmelo Official Fund on GiveSendGo dot com. And so
235
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:02.480
that's one way to help, you know, give a buck,
236
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:05.039
give a million, whatever you can.
237
00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:09.240
They've got on Carmelo.
238
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:13.759
Help Carmelo, Carmelo with a K, Help Carmelo with a K.
239
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:18.119
Wear purple today. Tell a friend about this, you know,
240
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:22.759
right to lawmakers, you know, call out these press outlets
241
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:26.720
that are doing this bs because especially the ones that
242
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:31.519
call themselves mainstream like CNN, because the New York Post
243
00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:36.759
doesn't care what you say, right, they're just busy trying
244
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:40.440
to put this child away for life. The California Post
245
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:44.480
to their headline, you know, they've got a young picture
246
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.880
of the kid who died looking all smiley faced, and
247
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:51.640
then they have a mean picture of Carmelo. It's amazing
248
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:54.680
how they try to put their thumb on the scale
249
00:17:54.920 --> 00:18:00.079
and their headline is Carmelo. Anthony refuses to take the stand. Well,
250
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.440
he didn't refuse to take the stand. His attorneys told
251
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:06.319
him not to take the stand. He's a child. In
252
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:11.359
most cases, I'm making this up, but some huge number
253
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:16.440
of cases, murder cases, lawyers do not advise their clients
254
00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:19.359
to take the stand, especially not when their clients are
255
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:24.279
children or young adults.
256
00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:24.799
Very much.
257
00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:28.880
So, yes, it makes me want to cry. It's just
258
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:36.680
a beautiful, promising young man of great character who is
259
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:41.519
being slow motion legally lynched before our eyes.
260
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:48.240
You know, he gets the right legal team on his
261
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:52.000
team right now. I mean, of course got first, and
262
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:56.160
the rest, you know, prevails. I just pray over his
263
00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:00.279
family as well too, so if you guys can hear me, family, Yeah,
264
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:02.200
I pray that you know God is with you, guys,
265
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:05.720
and that He strengths you and he just guys and
266
00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:08.319
cover you and protect you. I shan, I'm in.
267
00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:12.720
Shan a man. Yes, prayer, that's we can definitely add
268
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:16.680
that to our to do list. Pray for Carmelo News,
269
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:20.920
Traffic and Sports. Thank you, queen, appreciate the call. News,
270
00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:25.839
Traffic and Sports and more on KBLA Talk fifteen eighties. Yes, indeed,
271
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:28.759
so much going on. The World Cup is upon us
272
00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:33.359
here in LA and meanwhile, folks are still struggling to
273
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:38.720
get visas. I saw one Instagram post which had a
274
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:41.319
really good point. He said, there's no World Cup without
275
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:47.400
the world But apparently the United States is trying to
276
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:52.920
figure out how to have a World Cup without with
277
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:57.319
as few black and brown people as possible, which is
278
00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:00.519
if you ever watched the World Cup. I'm not a
279
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:04.880
soccer fan, but if you ever watched the World Cup,
280
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:09.160
you know that what makes it fun is I do
281
00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:11.319
you know? I do like to watch it. I don't
282
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:13.440
watch soccer a lot of the rest of the time,
283
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:17.960
but I do watch the World Cup because it's fun.
284
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:20.079
It's like the Olympics. You see people from all over
285
00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:25.039
the world, thus the name World Cup, and they compete
286
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:31.279
and they share their culture and it's amazing. Anyway, there's
287
00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:35.119
this guy, Omar Artan, who was set to be the
288
00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:41.079
first Somali referee in the World Cup in all of history.
289
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:46.640
Mister Arton, obviously he's black. He's Somali. Doesn't get much
290
00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:49.839
more black than that. Anyway, he was supposed to be
291
00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:55.920
refing this World Cup season, and he had already been
292
00:20:55.960 --> 00:21:01.279
granted a visa, but the US Customs and Border Protection
293
00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:05.839
will not let him in. He came, he arrived at
294
00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:11.519
Miami Airport from his stumbole on Saturday, and they would
295
00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:15.960
not let him in. He was supposed to train and
296
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:21.960
officiate at the World Cup. He says he's in a
297
00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:24.359
good mood. He says, quote, I am in a positive
298
00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:27.519
mood and I'm focused on the next challenges in my
299
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:31.559
refereeing career despite the circumstances. Good for him, but that
300
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:35.640
ticks me off because you already gave him a visa.
301
00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:39.680
He already flew here. You know who he is. He's
302
00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:44.119
not some unknown terrorists. He's a dog on FIFA referee.
303
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:50.640
He's thanking FIFA on the African Federation for their support. Meanwhile,
304
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:59.119
this is happening against the backdrop where every single refugee everyone,
305
00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:03.440
there's not one, Every single person who has been granted
306
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.799
refugee status since the president was sworn in for his
307
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:14.000
second term in office has been white. Everyone let that
308
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:18.240
sink in and most of them, all of them except
309
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:22.240
for I think it's like somewhere around five people, most
310
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:25.079
of them. And there are thousands or white South Africans,
311
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:30.359
not just any white people. Apartheid white people, you know, apartheids,
312
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.960
which was inspired by Jim Crow. Those are the white
313
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:36.400
folks were letting in, not just any old white people.
314
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:41.920
You know, they're not letting in your Seattle Berkeley type
315
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:46.079
white people. They're not letting in your Elizabeth Warren type
316
00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:52.839
white people. Nope, Nope, nope, South African apartheid era white people.
317
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:56.960
And then there's like five Ukrainians and that's who's gotten
318
00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:03.240
refugee status under this administration. Do you see a pattern.
319
00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:08.319
If you don't, you're I think you're in some kind
320
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:12.839
of denial. It's to me, it's embarrassing what we're doing
321
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:20.880
this World Cup, not letting teams in, you know, harassing
322
00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:24.079
the Iranian team. If anything, you should be going out
323
00:23:24.079 --> 00:23:26.000
of your way to be kind to them since you're
324
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:32.119
bombing their country while they are trying to compete in
325
00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:38.880
an international competition. FIFA's over here saying that they weren't
326
00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:43.519
involved in the immigration process. It's not their fault that
327
00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:49.519
this that this referee doesn't get in. Yeah, okay, FIFA,
328
00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:53.759
aren't you all the ones that gave our president a
329
00:23:53.839 --> 00:24:02.640
fake peace prize and now it's hide your hands. I
330
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:07.599
find it embarrassing. I do think we're the laughing stock.
331
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:07.839
Of the world.
332
00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:10.839
But I also believe this doesn't last forever. Did you
333
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:15.079
see the Knicks game, Miles, we were talking about this yesterday.
334
00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:19.039
You said, I hope they bow him. I think that's
335
00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:19.839
what you said.
336
00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:21.440
I think they were going to. I thought they were
337
00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:23.160
going to be turned up. They thought they're gonna be
338
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:23.599
big New.
339
00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:25.799
York And I told you those New Yorkers, even the
340
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:28.200
rich ones, would because it was like forty grand for
341
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:31.240
a seat. According to AOC, they bowed the heck out
342
00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:34.400
of him, and then he gonna say today, I think
343
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:39.680
it was mostly cheers. Either that's dementia denial or both.
344
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:45.200
And then the people outside, the ones that didn't have tickets,
345
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:48.279
the regular New Yorkers watching on the big screen, Oh,
346
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:52.880
they booed even louder. This is in New York. And
347
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:56.279
it's a reminder that, you know, I hope the world
348
00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:01.240
saw that, because it's a reminder that a lot of
349
00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:04.680
us never agreed with anything he did, and some of us.
350
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:09.440
Some of them are turning against him now, you know
351
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:14.799
the FAF You so you were surprised. How did you
352
00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:16.039
respond when you saw the booing?
353
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:20.599
I mean it. I mean, look, I'm I'm a Philadelphia
354
00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:23.039
Eagles fan, so I'm used to seeing people booth. So
355
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:26.000
I mean it was a real deep boom. It wasn't
356
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:29.279
like a boo, like a woof. They meant it.
357
00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:32.279
Yeah, and it came with some middle fingers too, which
358
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:35.319
I liked. You know, that's very New York. I bow
359
00:25:35.359 --> 00:25:37.880
you and add the middle finger. And then there were
360
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:42.920
people outside of Trump Tower during and after the game
361
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:47.720
singing New Yorkers hate you.
362
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:51.319
I mean, you know, I think he was ready for
363
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:52.839
all that. He showed up, you know what I mean,
364
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:55.279
and was looking into camera and was you know, he
365
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:58.480
was ready to absorb that energy. I believe so well.
366
00:25:58.519 --> 00:26:01.319
And he jinks their game they lost. I mean, I
367
00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:03.640
think that's the most unforgivable thing. You think they would
368
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:05.480
have lost anyway? I don't know. I think he's got
369
00:26:05.960 --> 00:26:09.319
spiritual cooties. They sprinkled them all over New York.
370
00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:12.079
That's funny. That's funny.
371
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:15.960
He well, as DJ Quick said, he pooped on New
372
00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:20.640
York on the Knicks last night. I don't know. I
373
00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:23.039
saw Spike Lee saying, why do you have to come today?
374
00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:24.920
Out of all the days, why do you have to
375
00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:28.200
come today? Of course, Spike Lee is the biggest Knicks
376
00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:30.279
fan in history. I didn't realize they hadn't won since
377
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:31.440
the nineteen seventies.
378
00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:32.720
Yeah, been a long time.
379
00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:35.240
That's a long time. And here comes Trump.
380
00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:40.000
Before hip hop, before hip hop.
381
00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:43.039
There was Nick's losing well. And the thing about it is,
382
00:26:43.119 --> 00:26:47.160
you know, they canceled the parties, the free parties, watch
383
00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:51.759
parties around Madison Square Garden because of the President's security.
384
00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:55.720
People had to come hours early and change their plans.
385
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:59.000
So all of that is annoying too to Nick's fans.
386
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:02.920
And he doesn't even really seem to be a fan of.
387
00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:05.440
Basketball, you know, I mean, look, I mean they kind of.
388
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:07.519
I don't think he knows who Josh Hart is and
389
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:10.240
who Brnston are and Karl Anthony Towns, and you know,
390
00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:13.279
I think I think this team may represent a lot
391
00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:15.480
of what the opposite of what Trump looks like. There
392
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:17.559
wasn't no Maggie or nothing in there that on that
393
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:20.079
team that says he should be in there rocking with him.
394
00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:21.720
But you know, as I say, he came to to
395
00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:23.720
get that energy off the city, I.
396
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:27.480
Think, but I understand it was.
397
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:29.599
Could have been court side one.
398
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:31.319
Of the team owners. I'm not sure if it was
399
00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:34.839
the Knicks owners. One of the team owners that.
400
00:27:35.319 --> 00:27:37.519
Invited him, Dolan, James Dolan.
401
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:41.000
Yeah, so, I guess he does have the you know
402
00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:44.079
that good old boy network. But the thing about it
403
00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:46.960
is that he hates the NBA. It seems like he's
404
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:51.079
always complaining about the NBA, you know.
405
00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:53.559
So there's no reason for him to be there. He
406
00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:55.720
doesn't know nothing about none of that. He skipped. Then
407
00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:59.000
he skipped his sons or his daughter's wedding a couple
408
00:27:59.000 --> 00:27:59.640
of weeks ago.
409
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:04.000
Skipped he didn't have time for that, right, and then
410
00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:08.440
he falls asleep in the next game. I mean, you,
411
00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:11.240
you got a forty thousand dollars ticket and you fall asleep,
412
00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:13.640
And meanwhile, the mayor of New York has a standing
413
00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:16.880
room only ticket and he's standing up for the whole game, right,
414
00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:21.079
That's crazy. But what I did notice they took him
415
00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:23.160
off the jumbo tron real quick because they didn't want
416
00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:29.319
sustained booing. They didn't want you know, well, who knows
417
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:30.920
what would have happened if they would have shown they
418
00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:34.480
at that shot of him sleeping on the jumbo dron,
419
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:35.039
I was.
420
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:37.240
Hoping they put him court aside man and let him
421
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:38.599
get you know what I'm saying, let me get some
422
00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:39.519
real camera time.
423
00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:43.079
Aha, they would have had a riot.
424
00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:44.200
Of course, side next to Hove.
425
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:48.279
And you know it's funny because my two of my
426
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:51.039
sisters live in New York and they said, there are
427
00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:54.160
spontaneous parties everywhere right now. They may be a little
428
00:28:54.559 --> 00:28:57.759
muted today, but just in general, people just putting up
429
00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:00.759
TVs in the middle of the street and folks pulling
430
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:03.839
up chairs. So it's in that spirit that people are
431
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:07.920
standing in front of Trump towers singing New York.
432
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:09.920
Hates you and my old he was telling me too, like,
433
00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:13.400
don't get it confused, Like this is the he said,
434
00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:15.400
this is like the real spirit of New York. Like
435
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:17.519
it may have got suppressed over the years, but this
436
00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:20.000
is the true cultural history spirit of New York. That's
437
00:29:20.039 --> 00:29:23.680
gonna put a stute party in the middle of the
438
00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:25.400
of the city, you know what I mean. So it
439
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:28.680
could be anywhere, and that's where we're we're looking for.
440
00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:30.799
That's absolutely true. I've spent a lot of time in
441
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:32.519
New York, or I used to when I was younger,
442
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:37.240
and that that's pre Giuliani New York, right, that's you know,
443
00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:41.880
pre gentrification New York when, which still exists in many pockets.
444
00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:44.960
I mean, look, my uncle, my mom's brother, lives in
445
00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:47.400
New Jersey. But I'm sure he was booing right along
446
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:49.599
with those folks, you know. And that's the Italian side
447
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:54.839
of the family, right, they're like boo, you know, gfo h.
448
00:29:55.000 --> 00:30:00.200
The thing is too, I believe it looks like the
449
00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:03.359
Nicks are a different part of New York than like
450
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:05.519
Yankees or yeah.
451
00:30:05.319 --> 00:30:06.920
They're they're different boroughs, yeah.
452
00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:09.039
Yeah, giants, And they feel like this is a whole
453
00:30:09.079 --> 00:30:12.000
different energy of New York being activated than it is
454
00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:13.359
if the Yankees win a title.
455
00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:17.400
There's more working classia. But I mean, look, everyone's getting
456
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:19.359
behind the Knicks. I think because it's been so long.
457
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:21.960
My sister doesn't even watch sports, and she's watching it.
458
00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:26.200
But I and I agree with your friend. It's the spirit.
459
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:30.000
It's the old throwback spirit of real New York, you know.
460
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:32.119
And I love to see it. And I love to
461
00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:37.279
see even Rosie O'Donnell, who's very right wing, but even
462
00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:41.720
well medium right wing. I guess she said that New
463
00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:45.480
Yorker's real New Yorkers know that Trump's always been a
464
00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:49.880
pos and a liar, and so they're the last ones
465
00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:53.599
that are gonna give him adoration. They've known him since
466
00:30:54.119 --> 00:30:59.880
I saw a newspaper article, an old headline. It said
467
00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:04.680
Trump's debut in the New York Times was the same
468
00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:08.480
year that the nixt last one. It was in the seventies,
469
00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:16.720
and the headline was real estate developer sued for discriminating
470
00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:24.000
against black tenants. So New Yorker's been knowing it's a
471
00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:26.279
great time to call me eight hundred nine to oh
472
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:30.279
fifteen eighty, eight hundred nine to oh fifteen eighty. We
473
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:36.359
are unapologetically progressive. You know the rest oooo boo. I
474
00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:40.680
think it was mostly cheering booh. Well, I guess you
475
00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:45.119
could call that thinking positive. That's one way to look
476
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:50.880
at it, all right, Kelly, what is happening around the world,
477
00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:53.200
around the nation, You're welcome to call me eight hundred
478
00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:56.319
nine to oh fifteen eighty, eight hundred nine to oh
479
00:31:56.480 --> 00:32:02.960
fifteen eighty. Spelman College has got black woman stepping into
480
00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:12.160
leadership there. She'll start as dean in August August. First,
481
00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:18.720
she is Ayanna Howard. She's a nationally known roboticist an
482
00:32:18.839 --> 00:32:23.599
AI expert, and she's taking over. She's taken the lead
483
00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:28.960
at the HBCU Spelman College. Spelman, of course, is one
484
00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:34.440
of those powerhouse HBCUs, a very prestigious organization, but they're
485
00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:37.559
saying that they want to be on the cutting edge
486
00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:42.240
when it comes to technology. She has worked with the
487
00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:50.039
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory doing robotics, AI and human centered design.
488
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:54.640
And of course I thought of you, Miles, because I
489
00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:56.799
feel like colleges are going one way or the other
490
00:32:56.839 --> 00:32:59.880
with AI. They're either saying, you know, we're gonna outlaw this,
491
00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:02.240
we want to make sure that our students are not
492
00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:05.200
using it to write papers and do tests, or you
493
00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:08.279
go do what Spelman does, which is you find a
494
00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:14.599
black woman who is an internationally nationally recognized robotics an
495
00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:16.759
AI expert and put her in charge.
496
00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:21.559
And I think we're gonna see very very soon, very quickly,
497
00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:26.559
who's writing this and who's gonna benefit the most from
498
00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:30.039
from these initiatives. I think it's going to be very
499
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:33.519
clear that the schools that are encouraging this are going
500
00:33:33.559 --> 00:33:36.480
to be the ones that are breeding the future thought
501
00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:37.759
leaders in this world.
502
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:41.640
You know, you know Bow and Yang from Saturday Night Live.
503
00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:44.559
He's the first Chinese American average cast on that show.
504
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:48.200
He's funny, he's he's a comedian, but he he has
505
00:33:48.400 --> 00:33:52.720
sort of a strong Chinese American accent. You probably know
506
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:55.039
who he is if if you know, if you don't
507
00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:56.319
know his name, you know who he is. His name
508
00:33:56.400 --> 00:33:59.519
Bow and Yang. He did a rant it's going around
509
00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:01.880
social media, yeah, where he I think it was from
510
00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:05.119
a commencement speech or a keynote speech that he did
511
00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:13.280
where he's basically saying FAI and he's going hard on it.
512
00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:16.800
He says, you know, people are bragging to him, Oh,
513
00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:19.239
I can get AI to review my emails and quickly
514
00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:21.559
compose it, you know, an answer, And he's like, you
515
00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:24.119
know who else can do that? You? You know who
516
00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:25.000
else can do that?
517
00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:25.360
Me.
518
00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:32.280
He's taking a very very hard stance, and he is
519
00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:36.880
not alone in that. I'm also starting to see data.
520
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:40.760
I saw a study yesterday that said ten minutes of
521
00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:47.519
AI use will reduce your cognitive ability immediately. And I
522
00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:49.519
know you're a big proponent of it, along with my
523
00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:52.800
friend Jazmin Khannik and others who are using it as
524
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:54.519
a tool. You always say, use it as a tool,
525
00:34:54.599 --> 00:34:57.599
not in place of your brain. But what do you
526
00:34:57.639 --> 00:34:58.199
make of that?
527
00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:00.880
Man? I think he has a a valid point. I'm
528
00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:03.119
not saying he's wrong. I'm not saying AI is perfect.
529
00:35:03.159 --> 00:35:06.880
I'm not championing these companies. I'm not saying it's a
530
00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:09.559
perfect technology. I'm just saying, at the rate that it's
531
00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:15.239
going and the use cases of you know, the successful
532
00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:19.079
use cases of it, I'm advocating us knowing about it
533
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:21.559
going forward. I'm advocating as not being ignorant in the
534
00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:25.840
dark and afraid of it, but also knowing how to
535
00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:28.239
use it, learning how to use it the right way,
536
00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:30.719
and how it works for you and against you. So
537
00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:32.960
it's not it's just like everything else, you know what
538
00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:35.119
I mean. I can say F sugar, I can say
539
00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:36.239
F transit.
540
00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:39.800
And so should I, but I do. Yeah, I'm not
541
00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:42.199
going to stop eating it. Another another question?
542
00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:47.079
Oh yeah, No, I don't I get his point, you know.
543
00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:50.360
I mean, you're encouraging the humans to do human things,
544
00:35:50.679 --> 00:35:53.519
of course, and I advocated the same thing. Don't let
545
00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:56.000
the AI do what you do best. Don't let it
546
00:35:56.039 --> 00:35:57.880
be the don't let it take your gifts from you
547
00:35:57.920 --> 00:35:58.280
and use.
548
00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:00.599
Your gifts and letting our brains do things.
549
00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:03.280
Sure, what it's supposed to do is it's supposed to
550
00:36:03.360 --> 00:36:05.719
free more of your time so you can do more
551
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:07.719
of your brain and life things that you do.
552
00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:09.719
And I know you read this that some of the
553
00:36:09.760 --> 00:36:13.599
tech companies are finding it's more expensive to have AI
554
00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:16.719
do the task than just have the workers do the task,
555
00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:18.880
and so some of them are backing off it for
556
00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:22.239
certain jobs because and that's not even counting the water,
557
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:24.400
you know, the massive amount of water and power that
558
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:28.639
it's using, but just the actual expense saying well, this
559
00:36:28.719 --> 00:36:35.079
is this is more expensive than having a worker that
560
00:36:35.159 --> 00:36:37.000
I'm paying twenty bucks an hour do this.
561
00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:40.559
I think big company that they'll try to save like
562
00:36:40.639 --> 00:36:43.639
seventy thousand dollars worth of labor just to spend one
563
00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:46.360
hundred and fifty thousand dollars on credits. So yeah, you
564
00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:47.679
end up doubling up yo.
565
00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:51.119
Wow, Because it's a good point. AI is not free, right.
566
00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:52.800
It's not free. You know, you pay, you pay per
567
00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:54.119
the credit that you use for sure.
568
00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:58.480
Yeah, So I mean it's I think I one hundred
569
00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:01.760
percent agree with you, even though I've barely used AI
570
00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:04.679
at all in my life yet I'm not saying that
571
00:37:04.719 --> 00:37:07.760
I won't. I haven't, But I agree with you it's
572
00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:10.119
how you use it. You've got to be crafty and
573
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:13.039
the way you put in prompts and the way you
574
00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:17.519
train it to help you. Yeah, just like you know
575
00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:20.480
you would with a with the old Google search, which
576
00:37:20.519 --> 00:37:23.119
is apparently not a Google search anymore, because everything is
577
00:37:23.159 --> 00:37:27.159
AI unless you try to dodge it. You want to
578
00:37:27.199 --> 00:37:29.519
put in, you want to be smart about what you
579
00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:33.079
put in. But I do think that it's now a
580
00:37:33.119 --> 00:37:36.119
more nuanced conversation because when you start talking about it
581
00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:39.280
costing more than a human to do a job, then
582
00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:45.039
you're making a choice as a corporation to defund humans.
583
00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:52.119
Right with open AI saying or no, it wasn't open air,
584
00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:55.400
it was anthropics saying we should pause development until we
585
00:37:55.519 --> 00:37:59.880
catch up, and with you know this data coming out
586
00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:02.920
showing that it makes us stupider, I think there has
587
00:38:03.000 --> 00:38:07.119
to be clearly a more nuanced conversation than just oh, look,
588
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:09.119
it can make us do everything faster.
589
00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:10.079
It is not.
590
00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:10.880
Uh.
591
00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:12.079
And plus you have I think to look at how
592
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:14.719
you see opening eye about to do an IPO coming
593
00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:15.280
up this week.
594
00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:18.320
So yeah, like it's get rich, right.
595
00:38:18.199 --> 00:38:20.559
Everybody trying to get rich and it's for profit. So don't,
596
00:38:20.679 --> 00:38:24.000
like I said, don't think that these things are the
597
00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:27.519
end all be all, but they are. They are a tool,
598
00:38:27.599 --> 00:38:29.239
but you are a products. So make sure you're not
599
00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:32.079
the product and the money maker. Make sure you can
600
00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:33.320
get to make money for you.
601
00:38:33.559 --> 00:38:36.079
I was laughing because I guess SpaceX is doing an
602
00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:40.320
IPO too, and a lot of those folks live here.
603
00:38:41.000 --> 00:38:44.119
So even though Elon ran to Texas to avoid taxes,
604
00:38:44.199 --> 00:38:47.159
Calli's still about to get a windfall of money from
605
00:38:47.199 --> 00:38:51.400
all the employees of SpaceX that live here that are
606
00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:57.039
about to get rich early investors. Yep, yep, yep ha ha. Sorry, Elon,
607
00:38:58.039 --> 00:39:00.360
you might not be paying taxes, but some of your
608
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:05.000
employees will, and it's going into the Cali treasury as
609
00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:09.119
it should now. Will the US Treasury ever recouped the
610
00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:13.599
massive investment and subsidies that they've poured into all of
611
00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:15.960
your companies to make you rich. You want to talk
612
00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:19.599
about an illegal alien coming to this country and grifting
613
00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:23.079
off the government, Elon Musk should be the poster boy,
614
00:39:23.079 --> 00:39:27.400
because remember he was here illegally for a while before
615
00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:31.599
he was legally according to his own brother. Anyway, I digress.
616
00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:37.880
We will talk national national politics with Attorney ja Person
617
00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:40.360
Lynn when we come forward and you're invited in KBLA
618
00:39:40.840 --> 00:39:41.800
Talk fifteen eighty
1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.080
A La Talk fifteen eighty little Miles Low Music for you.
2
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:09.599
Put that on your timeline, put that in your Spotify.
3
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:13.240
Even better, go to your h go to your Mileslow
4
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:18.359
music dot com and buy one. That'll be good. Yeah,
5
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:19.280
that's dope, Miles.
6
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:21.760
I like that one.
7
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:25.519
So yeah. The phone lines are open eight hundred nine
8
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:29.399
to fifteen eighty. Eight hundred nine to fifteen eighty. It
9
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:34.039
is a talking point Tuesday, and boy, the talking points
10
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:41.479
are flying around this Carmelo Anthony murder trial. I'm wearing
11
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:45.159
the purple If you're not on YouTube or Facebook or whatever,
12
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:49.600
I'm wearing the purple T shirt that says free Carmelo.
13
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.200
And the family and friends are asking, well, the gag
14
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:57.119
or horizontal. The family can't ask anything. The supporters of
15
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:01.880
the family are asking that you wear purple in solidarity
16
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:07.120
with Carmelo Anthony. To day, my understanding is a prosecution
17
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.040
and the defense have rested and they're going to do
18
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.000
some procedural things today and then the jury will have
19
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:18.040
this case of the seventeen year old child, one hundred
20
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:21.680
and fifty pound kid who is approached by two hundred
21
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:29.400
plus pound kids and it was raining. He was under
22
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:32.159
like a canopy. They asked him to get out from
23
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:35.200
under the canopy and into the rain. He did not comply.
24
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:39.200
This is a a track meet at a school that
25
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:42.519
none of these kids went to, by the way, and
26
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.760
the one of the big football players grabs him, tries
27
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.400
to toss him out. From what I'm hearing from witnesses,
28
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:57.000
there were other people besides the two large white kids
29
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:03.480
that were sing to Carmelo Anthony, who's just one hundred
30
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:07.879
and fifty pounds. The kid grabs them. Now we're talking Texas. Okay,
31
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:12.240
this is the South. This is not on Crenshaw. This
32
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:19.800
is deep South. And Anthony gets scared, uh, reaches in
33
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:26.800
his backpack, pulls out a pocket knife, allegedly stabs one
34
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:30.800
of the white football players once and then takes off running,
35
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.719
runs into you know. When he sees cops, he tells
36
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:41.199
them what happened. He inquires about the other kids, well,
37
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:46.759
being clearly not intending to kill that child. And this
38
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.319
is a young man, a kid, a seventeen year old
39
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:54.759
kid who was the captain of his football team, had
40
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:59.639
a job, was pulling a three point eight grade point
41
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:05.120
a Fterridge has no priors, very popular kid with people
42
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:11.199
of all races, friends of all races, and who once
43
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:16.719
saved another child from drowning by jumping in the water
44
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:21.560
and pulling the child out. This is a child, by
45
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:28.080
all accounts, a very good character. Right, he has two parents.
46
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.159
I mean, I hate saying this because you shouldn't have
47
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:35.000
to be perfect to get equal justice in this country.
48
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:40.280
But if you're a black boy, you do apparently have
49
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.280
to be perfect no prior as captain of the football team.
50
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:47.719
Blase Blase blah. A dirty cop armed to the teeth,
51
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:52.759
can kill somebody in self defense, can kill somebody not
52
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.520
in self defense and get away with it. But a
53
00:03:55.560 --> 00:04:01.199
seventeen year old who's being bullied a crowd of white
54
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:06.000
kids much bigger than him, two that we know for sure,
55
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:11.680
one put hands on him, and now is being charged
56
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:18.480
with first degree murder, not even manslaughters, facing ninety nine years,
57
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:28.279
ninety nine years. Clearly he was afraid. Clearly he was
58
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:36.000
not trying to kill the child. Clearly he was reacting.
59
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:39.639
This is not premeditated. How could it be premeditated when
60
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:46.439
the other guys were the aggressors. This is one of
61
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:50.360
the clearest cases of self defense I've ever read about,
62
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:55.920
and yet he's facing first degree murder. And not only that,
63
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.439
the white supremacists from all over the country have emerged
64
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:05.240
on this tech courthouse. You've got a January sixth insurrectionist
65
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:08.759
saying that he should be hanging from a tree. And
66
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:10.439
that's one of the reasons why I call it a
67
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:14.439
modern day lynching, because how did those lynchings occur? A kid,
68
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:19.399
usually a young boy, a child is accused of something
69
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:23.720
like Emmett Till supposedly whistling at a white woman or
70
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:30.319
allegedly raping or allegedly attacking a white person, and then
71
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:36.680
the mob descends and kills the child or young person
72
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:41.319
or man. That's what happens in lynchings. Here you have
73
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:48.160
a child who was afraid right tried to defend himself
74
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:52.399
and then ran away, and the crowd is circling outside
75
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:56.199
the courtroom saying he should be hanging from a tree,
76
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:03.600
saying terrible things, giving death threats on the family. The
77
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.600
family has a GoFundMe. They have actually had to use
78
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:10.759
part of that go fundme, not for legal defense, but
79
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:17.360
to actually relocate anonymously because they're getting death threats from
80
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:22.560
proud boys and oathkeepers and other various and sundry white supremacists.
81
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:27.560
And it's crazy because the family never never said it
82
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.639
was about race. It was a white supremacist Now, if
83
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.560
I'm looking at it, clearly there's a racial component in
84
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:36.759
that these two giant white boys, surrounded by a bunch
85
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:40.920
of other people who are taking their side, are bullying
86
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:46.600
a smaller black child. We've seen that movie before, but
87
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.120
it was neither the family nor the family's lawyer that
88
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:56.040
brought that into the conversation. It was these white supremacist
89
00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:01.920
groups and they are they are doing their best to
90
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.759
put their thumb on the scale. They are terrorizing the family,
91
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:07.279
and it's wild because, like I mentioned the other day,
92
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:10.600
I've written comments in a couple of threads about this case,
93
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:15.600
and I get attacked for defending this child who was
94
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:19.600
seventeen at the time. He's now nineteen, standing trial as
95
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:23.680
we speak, and I do feel that it's important for
96
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:27.920
the family who's been put under gag order by the judge.
97
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:34.600
Imagine your baby's on trial right facing his entire life
98
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:38.439
being taken away from him through modern day legal lynching,
99
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.240
and you can't say anything. You can't defend him in
100
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:45.480
the media. You can't say this is a child that
101
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:49.079
saved another child. This is a kid who had a job,
102
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:53.040
who was you know, whose brothers and sisters looked up
103
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:56.560
to him, who is well loved by coaches and other teenagers.
104
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:00.480
This is a child of impeccable character who feared for
105
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:05.319
his life. You cannot say anything because the judge has
106
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:11.600
muzzled you during a time when there's a critical need
107
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:13.920
for your voice. And so we have to be the
108
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:18.519
voices for that family. You don't have to, I have to.
109
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:23.160
This hurts my heart, you know. And for all the
110
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:27.959
people who like to complain about how there's not enough
111
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:30.439
great black men out there. To all the people that
112
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:35.360
like to complain and say that black people, black women,
113
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.399
black lives matter, don't stand for black men, shame on you,
114
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.840
because this is the moment when you are being called
115
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:46.240
upon to do it. So stop complaining and let's go.
116
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:53.279
Let's woman up, and let's go letters and calls and
117
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:58.600
social media posts, calls to lawmakers. This cannot happen in
118
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:03.799
the dark. In the age of mass technology. This family
119
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.240
cannot stand alone when all of us have the ability
120
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:13.120
to see and know what's going on. If you do
121
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:16.840
nothing more than wear purple today and say a small prayer,
122
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:21.320
this family needs to know that we are with him.
123
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:25.360
And I will say this, and this is important. The
124
00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:30.480
white supremacists have descended and they're talking their ish and
125
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:35.240
they're yelling and hollering and spreading hate. But a lot
126
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:38.039
of people have turned out in support of Carmelo and
127
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.120
his family as well. Black Lives Matter, grassroots is there,
128
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:46.120
movement for Black lives is there? The so called new
129
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:49.559
Black Panthers are there. I say so called because they're
130
00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:56.840
not sanctioned by the old Black panthers. There are moms
131
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:01.639
for Carmelo are there? There are coaches and other kids
132
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:06.080
that loved Carmelo that are there at the courthouse, coming
133
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:08.799
in at five and six in the morning, getting in line,
134
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:12.360
trying to get one of those seats right so that
135
00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:17.360
they can support the family in court. And we need
136
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:23.120
to join that love, join that love and let this
137
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:27.200
family know that this that this family is not alone,
138
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:30.320
and let America know that we see you. We see
139
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:34.159
you reversing justice, We see you taking the lynchings from
140
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:39.360
trees to the courtroom, and we are not having it.
141
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:44.759
You know where you are. Kabla talk fifteen eighty Okay, Well,
142
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:48.559
the Democratic Party is calling it for Hilton. It looks
143
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:53.360
like it's going to be Hilton and Besseta. No surprise there,
144
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:57.960
but that's what Kelly is dealing with. We dodged, apparently
145
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:03.000
we have died udged Spencer Pratt in the city of
146
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:09.240
Los Angeles, but not Steve Hilton for the state of California.
147
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:13.440
So the governor's race will be a straight sort of
148
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:21.639
mainstream Democrat versus Maga Republican with an immigrant twist. And
149
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:25.559
I you know, most people will say, okay, relaxed Republicans
150
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:29.279
don't win in California. I say not so fast. I
151
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:32.919
think it would be a mistake to take Hilton lightly.
152
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:38.399
He is media trained to the highest degree. He's got
153
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:41.519
the Trump machine behind him, and all the angry Spencer
154
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:46.919
Pratt money, The tech bros, the Brolagarcs will be investing
155
00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:51.159
in Hilton. He will be there beacon of hope for
156
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:55.879
magaizing the very blue Republic of California. And I call
157
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:58.039
it a republic as we are actually the fourth largest
158
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:03.320
economy in the world, making us the prize. Okay, deal
159
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:08.080
with it. Let's go to Queen calling us from La
160
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:13.679
Good morning, Queen Queen, you with mere.
161
00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:18.679
Grand rising, everybody, grand rising, missus Dominique. I actually just
162
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.759
wanted to speak on the young man you mentioned that
163
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:24.159
got the ninety nine years.
164
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:27.120
Well, he hasn't got them yet. We're hoping that that
165
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:30.480
there the jury hasn't started deliberating. But you're talking about
166
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:31.559
Carmelo Anthony.
167
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:34.960
Yes, very much so. I mean, of course that that
168
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:40.200
that uh situation. I definitely agree that that's totally insane.
169
00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:43.000
I just wanted to know, besides wearing purple, how can
170
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:43.960
we support.
171
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:48.679
Well, the family does have a go fund me. I
172
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:50.759
have to look it up because it's not on the
173
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:54.559
actual go fundme platform, it's on a different one. I
174
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.000
know that Black Lives Matter Grassroots dot org has it
175
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:04.120
posted on the on their instagram or there. I don't
176
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:05.600
know if it's on the website, but I know it's
177
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:08.919
on BLM Grassroots on Instagram. The family has a go fundme,
178
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:13.080
We can wear purple. We can reach out to news
179
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:18.320
organizations and politicians in that area. They're in Texas, so
180
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:25.279
it's a little tough. Yeah, it's a small town in Texas.
181
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:32.600
Let me look it up. It's yeah, I know, it's yeah,
182
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:36.240
ye too, right, And that's part of the reason why,
183
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:42.879
you know, it's so fraught with these white supremacists, you know,
184
00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:46.360
going out there. And what I'm what I'm seeing is
185
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:52.120
that the right wing press is piling on too. They
186
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:55.840
are showing pictures, really close up pictures of Carmelo Anthony
187
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:58.600
making it look like, you know, you know the deal,
188
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:00.600
we've seen it a million times, going to make him
189
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.919
look threatening when he was one hundred and fifty pounds
190
00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:10.480
seventeen year old. And I'm I haven't verified this yet,
191
00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:21.159
but I'm hearing that the judge was friends with the
192
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:23.200
child that was killed.
193
00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:26.200
Oh wow, so that's personal for him.
194
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:29.240
Yeah, you know, it's that those good old boy networks.
195
00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:33.799
So I guess today is closing arguments. Both sides have rested. Well,
196
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:37.120
you know it's called it's Frisco, Texas. Is where this is?
197
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:37.559
Okay?
198
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.879
Oh wow, yeah, oh yeah, I don't have word Okay,
199
00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:45.519
I don't know a lot about it, but it's Frisco, Texas.
200
00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:50.799
That's where he's f's.
201
00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:56.600
Yeah, calling right, it's the Collin County court room. And
202
00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:59.799
this the guy Austin metcalf is the kid who was
203
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.039
stab And here's the thing. Also, it sounds you know,
204
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:06.240
when you just hear it, it sounds a lot more
205
00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:08.759
like a gray area. But when you go into the details,
206
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:12.159
Carmelo pulled out a pocket knife, which a lot of
207
00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:16.519
young kids carry, young especially young boys, but girls too.
208
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:20.559
He stabbed the guy once in the chest and ran away.
209
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:23.039
It's not like you know the horror movie where he
210
00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:26.120
stabbed someone a whole bunch of times in a rage. No,
211
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:29.000
he was afraid. He pulled out his pocket knife, he
212
00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:34.759
stabbed and ran allegedly. So, yeah, they might be doing
213
00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:40.080
closing arguments now because it's later in Texas.
214
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:43.320
Well, I really wanted to know, you know, like I mentioned,
215
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:45.840
you know, I'm in Like I said, I'm in California.
216
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:48.080
Just wanted to know how I can't support how I
217
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:51.080
can share it because of course we just like they
218
00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:53.080
can get around and circle up, we can do the
219
00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:55.320
same thing, but in a positive way.
220
00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:59.159
Yeah, and I think we have to, you know, I
221
00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:03.480
think we have to because the right wing media. It's
222
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:07.000
incredible if you see the initial pictures that the young
223
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:11.960
man who who actually grabbed Carmelo Anthony looks scary, he
224
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:16.080
looks huge, he looks menacing. But now the New York
225
00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:19.320
Posts and others have found younger pictures of this guy,
226
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:22.480
metcalf and they're showing him when he was maybe fourteen
227
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:25.720
to make it look like he was the victim. And
228
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:29.360
then they're showing extreme close up shots of Carmelo to
229
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:34.240
make him look like he's the aggressor. So it's give
230
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:37.919
send Go. That's the platform they're using. It's not GoFundMe.
231
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:44.720
It's called give send Go and they yeah, and I
232
00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:46.559
don't know the exact name of it, but if you
233
00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:52.799
put Carmelo Anthony in oh, it's help Carmelo Official Fund,
234
00:16:53.080 --> 00:17:00.279
Help Carmelo Official Fund on GiveSendGo dot com. And so
235
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:02.480
that's one way to help, you know, give a buck,
236
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:05.039
give a million, whatever you can.
237
00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:09.240
They've got on Carmelo.
238
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:13.759
Help Carmelo, Carmelo with a K, Help Carmelo with a K.
239
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:18.119
Wear purple today. Tell a friend about this, you know,
240
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:22.759
right to lawmakers, you know, call out these press outlets
241
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:26.720
that are doing this bs because especially the ones that
242
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:31.519
call themselves mainstream like CNN, because the New York Post
243
00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:36.759
doesn't care what you say, right, they're just busy trying
244
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:40.440
to put this child away for life. The California Post
245
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:44.480
to their headline, you know, they've got a young picture
246
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.880
of the kid who died looking all smiley faced, and
247
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:51.640
then they have a mean picture of Carmelo. It's amazing
248
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:54.680
how they try to put their thumb on the scale
249
00:17:54.920 --> 00:18:00.079
and their headline is Carmelo. Anthony refuses to take the stand. Well,
250
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.440
he didn't refuse to take the stand. His attorneys told
251
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:06.319
him not to take the stand. He's a child. In
252
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:11.359
most cases, I'm making this up, but some huge number
253
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:16.440
of cases, murder cases, lawyers do not advise their clients
254
00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:19.359
to take the stand, especially not when their clients are
255
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:24.279
children or young adults.
256
00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:24.799
Very much.
257
00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:28.880
So, yes, it makes me want to cry. It's just
258
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:36.680
a beautiful, promising young man of great character who is
259
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:41.519
being slow motion legally lynched before our eyes.
260
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:48.240
You know, he gets the right legal team on his
261
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:52.000
team right now. I mean, of course got first, and
262
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:56.160
the rest, you know, prevails. I just pray over his
263
00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:00.279
family as well too, so if you guys can hear me, family, Yeah,
264
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:02.200
I pray that you know God is with you, guys,
265
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:05.720
and that He strengths you and he just guys and
266
00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:08.319
cover you and protect you. I shan, I'm in.
267
00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:12.720
Shan a man. Yes, prayer, that's we can definitely add
268
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:16.680
that to our to do list. Pray for Carmelo News,
269
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:20.920
Traffic and Sports. Thank you, queen, appreciate the call. News,
270
00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:25.839
Traffic and Sports and more on KBLA Talk fifteen eighties. Yes, indeed,
271
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:28.759
so much going on. The World Cup is upon us
272
00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:33.359
here in LA and meanwhile, folks are still struggling to
273
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:38.720
get visas. I saw one Instagram post which had a
274
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:41.319
really good point. He said, there's no World Cup without
275
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:47.400
the world But apparently the United States is trying to
276
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:52.920
figure out how to have a World Cup without with
277
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:57.319
as few black and brown people as possible, which is
278
00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:00.519
if you ever watched the World Cup. I'm not a
279
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:04.880
soccer fan, but if you ever watched the World Cup,
280
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:09.160
you know that what makes it fun is I do
281
00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:11.319
you know? I do like to watch it. I don't
282
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:13.440
watch soccer a lot of the rest of the time,
283
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:17.960
but I do watch the World Cup because it's fun.
284
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:20.079
It's like the Olympics. You see people from all over
285
00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:25.039
the world, thus the name World Cup, and they compete
286
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:31.279
and they share their culture and it's amazing. Anyway, there's
287
00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:35.119
this guy, Omar Artan, who was set to be the
288
00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:41.079
first Somali referee in the World Cup in all of history.
289
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:46.640
Mister Arton, obviously he's black. He's Somali. Doesn't get much
290
00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:49.839
more black than that. Anyway, he was supposed to be
291
00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:55.920
refing this World Cup season, and he had already been
292
00:20:55.960 --> 00:21:01.279
granted a visa, but the US Customs and Border Protection
293
00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:05.839
will not let him in. He came, he arrived at
294
00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:11.519
Miami Airport from his stumbole on Saturday, and they would
295
00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:15.960
not let him in. He was supposed to train and
296
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:21.960
officiate at the World Cup. He says he's in a
297
00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:24.359
good mood. He says, quote, I am in a positive
298
00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:27.519
mood and I'm focused on the next challenges in my
299
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:31.559
refereeing career despite the circumstances. Good for him, but that
300
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:35.640
ticks me off because you already gave him a visa.
301
00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:39.680
He already flew here. You know who he is. He's
302
00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:44.119
not some unknown terrorists. He's a dog on FIFA referee.
303
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:50.640
He's thanking FIFA on the African Federation for their support. Meanwhile,
304
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:59.119
this is happening against the backdrop where every single refugee everyone,
305
00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:03.440
there's not one, Every single person who has been granted
306
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.799
refugee status since the president was sworn in for his
307
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:14.000
second term in office has been white. Everyone let that
308
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:18.240
sink in and most of them, all of them except
309
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:22.240
for I think it's like somewhere around five people, most
310
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:25.079
of them. And there are thousands or white South Africans,
311
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:30.359
not just any white people. Apartheid white people, you know, apartheids,
312
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.960
which was inspired by Jim Crow. Those are the white
313
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:36.400
folks were letting in, not just any old white people.
314
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:41.920
You know, they're not letting in your Seattle Berkeley type
315
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:46.079
white people. They're not letting in your Elizabeth Warren type
316
00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:52.839
white people. Nope, Nope, nope, South African apartheid era white people.
317
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:56.960
And then there's like five Ukrainians and that's who's gotten
318
00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:03.240
refugee status under this administration. Do you see a pattern.
319
00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:08.319
If you don't, you're I think you're in some kind
320
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:12.839
of denial. It's to me, it's embarrassing what we're doing
321
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:20.880
this World Cup, not letting teams in, you know, harassing
322
00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:24.079
the Iranian team. If anything, you should be going out
323
00:23:24.079 --> 00:23:26.000
of your way to be kind to them since you're
324
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:32.119
bombing their country while they are trying to compete in
325
00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:38.880
an international competition. FIFA's over here saying that they weren't
326
00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:43.519
involved in the immigration process. It's not their fault that
327
00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:49.519
this that this referee doesn't get in. Yeah, okay, FIFA,
328
00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:53.759
aren't you all the ones that gave our president a
329
00:23:53.839 --> 00:24:02.640
fake peace prize and now it's hide your hands. I
330
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:07.599
find it embarrassing. I do think we're the laughing stock.
331
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:07.839
Of the world.
332
00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:10.839
But I also believe this doesn't last forever. Did you
333
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:15.079
see the Knicks game, Miles, we were talking about this yesterday.
334
00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:19.039
You said, I hope they bow him. I think that's
335
00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:19.839
what you said.
336
00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:21.440
I think they were going to. I thought they were
337
00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:23.160
going to be turned up. They thought they're gonna be
338
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:23.599
big New.
339
00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:25.799
York And I told you those New Yorkers, even the
340
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:28.200
rich ones, would because it was like forty grand for
341
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:31.240
a seat. According to AOC, they bowed the heck out
342
00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:34.400
of him, and then he gonna say today, I think
343
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:39.680
it was mostly cheers. Either that's dementia denial or both.
344
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:45.200
And then the people outside, the ones that didn't have tickets,
345
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:48.279
the regular New Yorkers watching on the big screen, Oh,
346
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:52.880
they booed even louder. This is in New York. And
347
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:56.279
it's a reminder that, you know, I hope the world
348
00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:01.240
saw that, because it's a reminder that a lot of
349
00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:04.680
us never agreed with anything he did, and some of us.
350
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:09.440
Some of them are turning against him now, you know
351
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:14.799
the FAF You so you were surprised. How did you
352
00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:16.039
respond when you saw the booing?
353
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:20.599
I mean it. I mean, look, I'm I'm a Philadelphia
354
00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:23.039
Eagles fan, so I'm used to seeing people booth. So
355
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:26.000
I mean it was a real deep boom. It wasn't
356
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:29.279
like a boo, like a woof. They meant it.
357
00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:32.279
Yeah, and it came with some middle fingers too, which
358
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:35.319
I liked. You know, that's very New York. I bow
359
00:25:35.359 --> 00:25:37.880
you and add the middle finger. And then there were
360
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:42.920
people outside of Trump Tower during and after the game
361
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:47.720
singing New Yorkers hate you.
362
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:51.319
I mean, you know, I think he was ready for
363
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:52.839
all that. He showed up, you know what I mean,
364
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:55.279
and was looking into camera and was you know, he
365
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:58.480
was ready to absorb that energy. I believe so well.
366
00:25:58.519 --> 00:26:01.319
And he jinks their game they lost. I mean, I
367
00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:03.640
think that's the most unforgivable thing. You think they would
368
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:05.480
have lost anyway? I don't know. I think he's got
369
00:26:05.960 --> 00:26:09.319
spiritual cooties. They sprinkled them all over New York.
370
00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:12.079
That's funny. That's funny.
371
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:15.960
He well, as DJ Quick said, he pooped on New
372
00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:20.640
York on the Knicks last night. I don't know. I
373
00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:23.039
saw Spike Lee saying, why do you have to come today?
374
00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:24.920
Out of all the days, why do you have to
375
00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:28.200
come today? Of course, Spike Lee is the biggest Knicks
376
00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:30.279
fan in history. I didn't realize they hadn't won since
377
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:31.440
the nineteen seventies.
378
00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:32.720
Yeah, been a long time.
379
00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:35.240
That's a long time. And here comes Trump.
380
00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:40.000
Before hip hop, before hip hop.
381
00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:43.039
There was Nick's losing well. And the thing about it is,
382
00:26:43.119 --> 00:26:47.160
you know, they canceled the parties, the free parties, watch
383
00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:51.759
parties around Madison Square Garden because of the President's security.
384
00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:55.720
People had to come hours early and change their plans.
385
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:59.000
So all of that is annoying too to Nick's fans.
386
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:02.920
And he doesn't even really seem to be a fan of.
387
00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:05.440
Basketball, you know, I mean, look, I mean they kind of.
388
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:07.519
I don't think he knows who Josh Hart is and
389
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:10.240
who Brnston are and Karl Anthony Towns, and you know,
390
00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:13.279
I think I think this team may represent a lot
391
00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:15.480
of what the opposite of what Trump looks like. There
392
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:17.559
wasn't no Maggie or nothing in there that on that
393
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:20.079
team that says he should be in there rocking with him.
394
00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:21.720
But you know, as I say, he came to to
395
00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:23.720
get that energy off the city, I.
396
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:27.480
Think, but I understand it was.
397
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:29.599
Could have been court side one.
398
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:31.319
Of the team owners. I'm not sure if it was
399
00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:34.839
the Knicks owners. One of the team owners that.
400
00:27:35.319 --> 00:27:37.519
Invited him, Dolan, James Dolan.
401
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:41.000
Yeah, so, I guess he does have the you know
402
00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:44.079
that good old boy network. But the thing about it
403
00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:46.960
is that he hates the NBA. It seems like he's
404
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:51.079
always complaining about the NBA, you know.
405
00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:53.559
So there's no reason for him to be there. He
406
00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:55.720
doesn't know nothing about none of that. He skipped. Then
407
00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:59.000
he skipped his sons or his daughter's wedding a couple
408
00:27:59.000 --> 00:27:59.640
of weeks ago.
409
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:04.000
Skipped he didn't have time for that, right, and then
410
00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:08.440
he falls asleep in the next game. I mean, you,
411
00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:11.240
you got a forty thousand dollars ticket and you fall asleep,
412
00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:13.640
And meanwhile, the mayor of New York has a standing
413
00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:16.880
room only ticket and he's standing up for the whole game, right,
414
00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:21.079
That's crazy. But what I did notice they took him
415
00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:23.160
off the jumbo tron real quick because they didn't want
416
00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:29.319
sustained booing. They didn't want you know, well, who knows
417
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:30.920
what would have happened if they would have shown they
418
00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:34.480
at that shot of him sleeping on the jumbo dron,
419
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:35.039
I was.
420
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:37.240
Hoping they put him court aside man and let him
421
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:38.599
get you know what I'm saying, let me get some
422
00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:39.519
real camera time.
423
00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:43.079
Aha, they would have had a riot.
424
00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:44.200
Of course, side next to Hove.
425
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:48.279
And you know it's funny because my two of my
426
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:51.039
sisters live in New York and they said, there are
427
00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:54.160
spontaneous parties everywhere right now. They may be a little
428
00:28:54.559 --> 00:28:57.759
muted today, but just in general, people just putting up
429
00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:00.759
TVs in the middle of the street and folks pulling
430
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:03.839
up chairs. So it's in that spirit that people are
431
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:07.920
standing in front of Trump towers singing New York.
432
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:09.920
Hates you and my old he was telling me too, like,
433
00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:13.400
don't get it confused, Like this is the he said,
434
00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:15.400
this is like the real spirit of New York. Like
435
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:17.519
it may have got suppressed over the years, but this
436
00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:20.000
is the true cultural history spirit of New York. That's
437
00:29:20.039 --> 00:29:23.680
gonna put a stute party in the middle of the
438
00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:25.400
of the city, you know what I mean. So it
439
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:28.680
could be anywhere, and that's where we're we're looking for.
440
00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:30.799
That's absolutely true. I've spent a lot of time in
441
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:32.519
New York, or I used to when I was younger,
442
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:37.240
and that that's pre Giuliani New York, right, that's you know,
443
00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:41.880
pre gentrification New York when, which still exists in many pockets.
444
00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:44.960
I mean, look, my uncle, my mom's brother, lives in
445
00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:47.400
New Jersey. But I'm sure he was booing right along
446
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:49.599
with those folks, you know. And that's the Italian side
447
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:54.839
of the family, right, they're like boo, you know, gfo h.
448
00:29:55.000 --> 00:30:00.200
The thing is too, I believe it looks like the
449
00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:03.359
Nicks are a different part of New York than like
450
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:05.519
Yankees or yeah.
451
00:30:05.319 --> 00:30:06.920
They're they're different boroughs, yeah.
452
00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:09.039
Yeah, giants, And they feel like this is a whole
453
00:30:09.079 --> 00:30:12.000
different energy of New York being activated than it is
454
00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:13.359
if the Yankees win a title.
455
00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:17.400
There's more working classia. But I mean, look, everyone's getting
456
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:19.359
behind the Knicks. I think because it's been so long.
457
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:21.960
My sister doesn't even watch sports, and she's watching it.
458
00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:26.200
But I and I agree with your friend. It's the spirit.
459
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:30.000
It's the old throwback spirit of real New York, you know.
460
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:32.119
And I love to see it. And I love to
461
00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:37.279
see even Rosie O'Donnell, who's very right wing, but even
462
00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:41.720
well medium right wing. I guess she said that New
463
00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:45.480
Yorker's real New Yorkers know that Trump's always been a
464
00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:49.880
pos and a liar, and so they're the last ones
465
00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:53.599
that are gonna give him adoration. They've known him since
466
00:30:54.119 --> 00:30:59.880
I saw a newspaper article, an old headline. It said
467
00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:04.680
Trump's debut in the New York Times was the same
468
00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:08.480
year that the nixt last one. It was in the seventies,
469
00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:16.720
and the headline was real estate developer sued for discriminating
470
00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:24.000
against black tenants. So New Yorker's been knowing it's a
471
00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:26.279
great time to call me eight hundred nine to oh
472
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:30.279
fifteen eighty, eight hundred nine to oh fifteen eighty. We
473
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:36.359
are unapologetically progressive. You know the rest oooo boo. I
474
00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:40.680
think it was mostly cheering booh. Well, I guess you
475
00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:45.119
could call that thinking positive. That's one way to look
476
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:50.880
at it, all right, Kelly, what is happening around the world,
477
00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:53.200
around the nation, You're welcome to call me eight hundred
478
00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:56.319
nine to oh fifteen eighty, eight hundred nine to oh
479
00:31:56.480 --> 00:32:02.960
fifteen eighty. Spelman College has got black woman stepping into
480
00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:12.160
leadership there. She'll start as dean in August August. First,
481
00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:18.720
she is Ayanna Howard. She's a nationally known roboticist an
482
00:32:18.839 --> 00:32:23.599
AI expert, and she's taking over. She's taken the lead
483
00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:28.960
at the HBCU Spelman College. Spelman, of course, is one
484
00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:34.440
of those powerhouse HBCUs, a very prestigious organization, but they're
485
00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:37.559
saying that they want to be on the cutting edge
486
00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:42.240
when it comes to technology. She has worked with the
487
00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:50.039
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory doing robotics, AI and human centered design.
488
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:54.640
And of course I thought of you, Miles, because I
489
00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:56.799
feel like colleges are going one way or the other
490
00:32:56.839 --> 00:32:59.880
with AI. They're either saying, you know, we're gonna outlaw this,
491
00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:02.240
we want to make sure that our students are not
492
00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:05.200
using it to write papers and do tests, or you
493
00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:08.279
go do what Spelman does, which is you find a
494
00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:14.599
black woman who is an internationally nationally recognized robotics an
495
00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:16.759
AI expert and put her in charge.
496
00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:21.559
And I think we're gonna see very very soon, very quickly,
497
00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:26.559
who's writing this and who's gonna benefit the most from
498
00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:30.039
from these initiatives. I think it's going to be very
499
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:33.519
clear that the schools that are encouraging this are going
500
00:33:33.559 --> 00:33:36.480
to be the ones that are breeding the future thought
501
00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:37.759
leaders in this world.
502
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:41.640
You know, you know Bow and Yang from Saturday Night Live.
503
00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:44.559
He's the first Chinese American average cast on that show.
504
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:48.200
He's funny, he's he's a comedian, but he he has
505
00:33:48.400 --> 00:33:52.720
sort of a strong Chinese American accent. You probably know
506
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:55.039
who he is if if you know, if you don't
507
00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:56.319
know his name, you know who he is. His name
508
00:33:56.400 --> 00:33:59.519
Bow and Yang. He did a rant it's going around
509
00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:01.880
social media, yeah, where he I think it was from
510
00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:05.119
a commencement speech or a keynote speech that he did
511
00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:13.280
where he's basically saying FAI and he's going hard on it.
512
00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:16.800
He says, you know, people are bragging to him, Oh,
513
00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:19.239
I can get AI to review my emails and quickly
514
00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:21.559
compose it, you know, an answer, And he's like, you
515
00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:24.119
know who else can do that? You? You know who
516
00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:25.000
else can do that?
517
00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:25.360
Me.
518
00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:32.280
He's taking a very very hard stance, and he is
519
00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:36.880
not alone in that. I'm also starting to see data.
520
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:40.760
I saw a study yesterday that said ten minutes of
521
00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:47.519
AI use will reduce your cognitive ability immediately. And I
522
00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:49.519
know you're a big proponent of it, along with my
523
00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:52.800
friend Jazmin Khannik and others who are using it as
524
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:54.519
a tool. You always say, use it as a tool,
525
00:34:54.599 --> 00:34:57.599
not in place of your brain. But what do you
526
00:34:57.639 --> 00:34:58.199
make of that?
527
00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:00.880
Man? I think he has a a valid point. I'm
528
00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:03.119
not saying he's wrong. I'm not saying AI is perfect.
529
00:35:03.159 --> 00:35:06.880
I'm not championing these companies. I'm not saying it's a
530
00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:09.559
perfect technology. I'm just saying, at the rate that it's
531
00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:15.239
going and the use cases of you know, the successful
532
00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:19.079
use cases of it, I'm advocating us knowing about it
533
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:21.559
going forward. I'm advocating as not being ignorant in the
534
00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:25.840
dark and afraid of it, but also knowing how to
535
00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:28.239
use it, learning how to use it the right way,
536
00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:30.719
and how it works for you and against you. So
537
00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:32.960
it's not it's just like everything else, you know what
538
00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:35.119
I mean. I can say F sugar, I can say
539
00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:36.239
F transit.
540
00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:39.800
And so should I, but I do. Yeah, I'm not
541
00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:42.199
going to stop eating it. Another another question?
542
00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:47.079
Oh yeah, No, I don't I get his point, you know.
543
00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:50.360
I mean, you're encouraging the humans to do human things,
544
00:35:50.679 --> 00:35:53.519
of course, and I advocated the same thing. Don't let
545
00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:56.000
the AI do what you do best. Don't let it
546
00:35:56.039 --> 00:35:57.880
be the don't let it take your gifts from you
547
00:35:57.920 --> 00:35:58.280
and use.
548
00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:00.599
Your gifts and letting our brains do things.
549
00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:03.280
Sure, what it's supposed to do is it's supposed to
550
00:36:03.360 --> 00:36:05.719
free more of your time so you can do more
551
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:07.719
of your brain and life things that you do.
552
00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:09.719
And I know you read this that some of the
553
00:36:09.760 --> 00:36:13.599
tech companies are finding it's more expensive to have AI
554
00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:16.719
do the task than just have the workers do the task,
555
00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:18.880
and so some of them are backing off it for
556
00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:22.239
certain jobs because and that's not even counting the water,
557
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:24.400
you know, the massive amount of water and power that
558
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:28.639
it's using, but just the actual expense saying well, this
559
00:36:28.719 --> 00:36:35.079
is this is more expensive than having a worker that
560
00:36:35.159 --> 00:36:37.000
I'm paying twenty bucks an hour do this.
561
00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:40.559
I think big company that they'll try to save like
562
00:36:40.639 --> 00:36:43.639
seventy thousand dollars worth of labor just to spend one
563
00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:46.360
hundred and fifty thousand dollars on credits. So yeah, you
564
00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:47.679
end up doubling up yo.
565
00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:51.119
Wow, Because it's a good point. AI is not free, right.
566
00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:52.800
It's not free. You know, you pay, you pay per
567
00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:54.119
the credit that you use for sure.
568
00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:58.480
Yeah, So I mean it's I think I one hundred
569
00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:01.760
percent agree with you, even though I've barely used AI
570
00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:04.679
at all in my life yet I'm not saying that
571
00:37:04.719 --> 00:37:07.760
I won't. I haven't, But I agree with you it's
572
00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:10.119
how you use it. You've got to be crafty and
573
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:13.039
the way you put in prompts and the way you
574
00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:17.519
train it to help you. Yeah, just like you know
575
00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:20.480
you would with a with the old Google search, which
576
00:37:20.519 --> 00:37:23.119
is apparently not a Google search anymore, because everything is
577
00:37:23.159 --> 00:37:27.159
AI unless you try to dodge it. You want to
578
00:37:27.199 --> 00:37:29.519
put in, you want to be smart about what you
579
00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:33.079
put in. But I do think that it's now a
580
00:37:33.119 --> 00:37:36.119
more nuanced conversation because when you start talking about it
581
00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:39.280
costing more than a human to do a job, then
582
00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:45.039
you're making a choice as a corporation to defund humans.
583
00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:52.119
Right with open AI saying or no, it wasn't open air,
584
00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:55.400
it was anthropics saying we should pause development until we
585
00:37:55.519 --> 00:37:59.880
catch up, and with you know this data coming out
586
00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:02.920
showing that it makes us stupider, I think there has
587
00:38:03.000 --> 00:38:07.119
to be clearly a more nuanced conversation than just oh, look,
588
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:09.119
it can make us do everything faster.
589
00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:10.079
It is not.
590
00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:10.880
Uh.
591
00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:12.079
And plus you have I think to look at how
592
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:14.719
you see opening eye about to do an IPO coming
593
00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:15.280
up this week.
594
00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:18.320
So yeah, like it's get rich, right.
595
00:38:18.199 --> 00:38:20.559
Everybody trying to get rich and it's for profit. So don't,
596
00:38:20.679 --> 00:38:24.000
like I said, don't think that these things are the
597
00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:27.519
end all be all, but they are. They are a tool,
598
00:38:27.599 --> 00:38:29.239
but you are a products. So make sure you're not
599
00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:32.079
the product and the money maker. Make sure you can
600
00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:33.320
get to make money for you.
601
00:38:33.559 --> 00:38:36.079
I was laughing because I guess SpaceX is doing an
602
00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:40.320
IPO too, and a lot of those folks live here.
603
00:38:41.000 --> 00:38:44.119
So even though Elon ran to Texas to avoid taxes,
604
00:38:44.199 --> 00:38:47.159
Calli's still about to get a windfall of money from
605
00:38:47.199 --> 00:38:51.400
all the employees of SpaceX that live here that are
606
00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:57.039
about to get rich early investors. Yep, yep, yep ha ha. Sorry, Elon,
607
00:38:58.039 --> 00:39:00.360
you might not be paying taxes, but some of your
608
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:05.000
employees will, and it's going into the Cali treasury as
609
00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:09.119
it should now. Will the US Treasury ever recouped the
610
00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:13.599
massive investment and subsidies that they've poured into all of
611
00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:15.960
your companies to make you rich. You want to talk
612
00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:19.599
about an illegal alien coming to this country and grifting
613
00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:23.079
off the government, Elon Musk should be the poster boy,
614
00:39:23.079 --> 00:39:27.400
because remember he was here illegally for a while before
615
00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:31.599
he was legally according to his own brother. Anyway, I digress.
616
00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:37.880
We will talk national national politics with Attorney ja Person
617
00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:40.360
Lynn when we come forward and you're invited in KBLA
618
00:39:40.840 --> 00:39:41.800
Talk fifteen eighty
