This event Elden for folks who don’t know what is that particular process uh that you have to go through to make this happen uh so you have to apply on on uh they send you an application you have to apply uh and then they’ll come down they’ll do a site visit uh president

Abdullah gave me a a wonderful opportunity and a wonderful idea after we had hosted the gubernatorial debate uh earlier uh in 2021 and he said if you can get the gubernatorial debate then you can get the president’s debate and so I just went ahead sending sending the

Application uh and they came toward our our state-of-the-art facility and the multi-purpose Center loved our campus and and I’m glad that they chose us so um and and so H what was the process how long did it take uh and what what was the application process all the sort of

Stuff that goes along with that yeah so we we didn’t know how many other schools had applied we applied it takes takes months upon months uh of of back and forth and making sure that we have all the uh necessary facilities and everything uh that they need uh we have

To look into uh broadband and and all the infrastructure that we have and so once they get beyond that and they come down to do the site visit uh we just we bring our teams together and we walk them through campus and and they loved our campus and I’m glad that they saw

Fit to have it at at Virginia State University now um uh president uh Abdullah was it what were they looking at Virginia being a Battleground state were they looking at other universities in Virginia Roland I’m honest I wish I could answer that question I mean I I do

Make that assumption uh but I don’t know uh I know that the other uh states that they P I think one is in Texas Utah and then in Pennsylvania uh and so I don’t know if politics had a role in it um I just know that our team came with the uh

Came with the program and and and and and delivered it for us it’s a it’s a great day for Virginia state now um we don’t know though if this will actually happen if Donald Trump is the nominee we know what happened last time he complained about these debate saying

They were grossly unfair uh and did not participate in several of them so uh hopefully uh you will have an opportunity to have that debate uh on the campus Elden yeah so we um we know that it’s not mandatory for them to to to participate in the debate uh but we hope

That the nominees will come and will participate VSU will be ready we um we will leave that up to the commission on presidential debates to make happen but uh VSU will be ready to lay out the orange carpet and and we’re excited about the opportunity it brings for our

Students uh to be front and center and learn firsthand about this part of the the Democratic process well Fred uh here’s my suggestion uh we know how hory uh Donald Trump is if he’s a nominee Biden’s a nominee uh go ahead and your backup plan uh should uh hit President

Biden about having uh a major town hall uh on the campus uh just in case uh because again uh Trump is known to uh to try look here he’s not participating in Republican debates uh so uh let’s look at a plan B just in case well look I

Tell you having the uh uh whatever candidates uh show up uh in addition to the media uh to have all of the kind of national media and National candidates comeing to Virginia state I think there’s a lesson to be learned either way I think having all of these adjunct

Professors if you will come to VSU to to to have an event it’s G to be a great day no matter who shows up all right then gentlemen congratulations uh and again so uh before that HBCU there were there were debates Republican and Democrat on HBCU campus but this will be

The first time a general presidential debate on HBCU campus this will be the first time uh that a general debate uh presidential debate will be on our campus uh it’ll be in the multi-purpose Center the same place uh uh Mr Martin where you uh delivered a Commencement

Address a couple of years back I want to thank you for that address thank you for your support of Virginia state and thank you for your support of HBCU but in that building building we will have the presidential debate yes sir all right then we’re certainly looking forward to

It uh and you can count on us broadcasting the show live from there if it happens uh but uh if it doesn’t uh trust me we we’ll we’ll come up with a plan B okay sir we expect you to show up anyway we expect you to be in the house

No matter who else shows oh yeah that’s that’s GNA happen thanks a lot all right uh I want to uh introduce our panel right now tow run Walker founder context media out of Atlanta Joy Cheney uh former executive director the Washington Bureau uh and Senior vice president policy and advocacy at the

National Urban League uh Michael motep host the African history Network show out Detroit glad to have all three of you all here uh Joy this is a huge obviously this this one of those huge deals lots of attention uh sort of around this and again for an HBCU uh to

Be in that Spotlight I think is huge it is Mammoth I’m a Howard graduate of so you know that would have also been good but VSU deserves it kudos to his team I hope everyone gets a raiseed and more importantly I hope that they get additional resources I think where the

President was leaving off was right it’s not just the presidential debate it’s all of the resources that will come along with them having not just the Democrat not just a Republican presidential debate but a general election presidential debate that means the entire nation will have their eyes

On VSU that’s going to result in more resources more people being interested in teaching there more students this is a big deal um uh to run 2020 I was there at Texas Southern University we broadcast from there the Democrats had a debate on their campus but obviously a

Primary is totally different uh from a presidential race yeah yeah it is it is and it’s really important I think um to understand that it’s very important for this presidential race that H presidential debate that happened on an HBCU campus it could have been FAMU but

I’ll leave that alone but um the thing the thing about this is you know we’ve been had there’s a lot of conversation around um the Democrats and there’s also a lot of conversation around this particular Administration and some of the disconnect that may be happening

With black voters so I think what has to happen is you have to be able to bring your message to the people and it can’t just be for the people in the room it has to be for voters outside of the room and people who are very concerned about

What’s been happening over the past 12 years moving up to the because happens in the vacuum but you do have a lot of Voters out here who do feel frustrated you have a lot of Voters out here who don’t who who feel like they’re not being heard and they have to be able

To feel like their concerns and their conditions are being talked about well the thing here um Michael uh there typically are three presidential debates one vice presidential debate uh and so we don’t know what the format of this one is going to be they have different

Formats uh some on show Town Hall like other on uh whether sort of in the two two moderator and and the two podiums but here’s the deal we already know what Trump what Trump did last time and this is going to be a situation where I dare

Say if there’s going to be a debate this is where we first of all we already know Biden’s nominee he’s showing up to Virginia state Trump May sit here and say I’m not doing any debates this is where he can be pressured to show up by

Saying oh so you going to diss the HBCU right just the HBCU after Trump lies and talks about all he did for HBCU and that was representative Alma Adams bill by the way she really doesn’t get credit for that I think she should take credit

For it also but uh this would be an opportunity for uh President Biden to talk about front and center uh how the Biden Harris Administration has helped HBCU to date I think it’s about7 billion dollar that have gone to HBCU in 2021 it’s a record of $5.8 billion that went

To HBC tus that doesn’t get talked about enough but this is also uh important opportunity for him to talk about how his policies have helped the African-American Community as well whether we talk about the economy and 14 million jobs created whether we talk about uh the lowest unemployment rate of

African-Americans early this year uh since they have been recording unemployment by race going back to the early 1970s I think it was uh for him to talk about the impact that the uh chips Act is going to have uh bringing down uh inflation how that is helping African-Americans as well uh talk about

The $ 1.9 trillion do American Rescue plan the $1.2 trillion infrastructure Bill to talk about how uh climate change and the uh and the bill he pass dealing with uh climate change as well is going to help impact African-Americans and once again uh with this being at an HBCU

This helps to put our issues front and center and policies that are good for African-Americans are good for America in general en so well well let’s be clear what’s clear that’s only going to happen depending upon who’s asking the questions see again so again the presidential commission they also going

To pick the moderators so we’ll see who they’re going to pick as the moderator uh for this that dictates frankly what questions uh get asked uh hold tight one second go into a break we come back uh we’re going to talk about the bond here that took place in Atlanta you know that

Crazy uh dude used to be over blacks for Trump uh yeah he was talking lots of trash on the social media almost got his butt thrown back in jail we’ll tell you uh what happened there also I got some other stuff we’re going to talk about as

Here hold on one second one second Autumn Lewis has been missing from Buffalo New York since November 10th the 16-year-old is 5′ 7 in tall weighs 115 PBS with black hair and brown eyes anyone with information about Autumn LS is urged to call the Buffalo New York police department at 716 853 2222 716 853

2222 one of the Georgia 19 remains free to tonight uh but gets a Stern warning from the Georgia judge who says the bond his bond needs to be modified to include the nuances of social media Fon County Judge Scott McAfee heard arguments from da fonny Willis uh who actually

Represented them herself that Donald Trump’s co-defendant Harrison Floyd’s social media post and broadcast interviews violated his bond agreement not to to interfere with Witnesses this is what McAfee said in today’s ruling at the time of indictment uh the we were in this courtroom in the middle of a

Another murder trial so I was not able to conduct the first appearance for Mr Floyd but throughout that week during the trial we were presented with these consented Bond orders which were negotiated by the parties and that I signed without a hearing and Mr Floyd

Agreed uh to abide by the terms of it and I think it’s been it’s clear from the case law there is no constitutional right to bail and a bond can contain special conditions as long as they’re reasonable under the circumstances and often those can curtail or even eliminate uh defendants

Constitutional rights under the First Amendment under the Fourth Amendment such as forbidding contact we’ see that quite commonly and the question becomes a trial court has to balance the rights of the accused as well as the Public Safety interests that are raised by any particular case but I’ll also note that a defendant

Is generally allowed to publicly criticize the merits of a case to say that the prosecution doesn’t have a case to to challenge the strength of the evidence the speak is mine and I don’t see anything in this consent bond order that limited General criticism of the state’s case each of these conditions uh

Had components to them had um preconditions but there was no General limitation of talking about this case but obviously that criticism cannot cross a line and ever evolve into witness intimidation and I think as the defense was willing to concede here Mr Floyd seems very boldly willing to

Explore exactly where that line lies in this case and I think the state has made a compelling argument on many of these points but in categorizing these statements um on the first point of intimidation um we don’t see as we might see in these Bond conditions as they’re traditionally understood someone posting

The personal info of a witness or codefendant we don’t see someone directly messaging again as that’s traditionally understood um and we we don’t see in the wording an explicit indication that something ought to be done about these individuals or that they should be targeted in some way I I read

These as seeing more that someone is wanting to defend his case in a very public way and so on the question of and especially when it comes to the public officials I think we’ve as Mr Sterling testified when it comes to intimidation they’ve endured far worse

Than is presented in this motion I think it becomes a much closer question when we start talking about whether this is direct or indirect communication and we’re getting into also kind of a question of at what point is someone responsible for the response of others and I don’t know if

Those are necessarily settled questions under the traditional Bond limitations that we used and the phrasing that we used in this case and um ultimately uh I think that first of all the defense argument that that there was no knowledge that these were potential Witnesses I that’s not

One that I’m an argument that I’m buying I think that we can’t hide behind a veil of ignorance when certain Witnesses have testified before the special grand jury are very much known to be involved in the facts of this case or just recently pleaded guilty and were known to have a

Public cooperation provision um I also think that when we’re talking about the facts of this case that is a broadly understood term and if someone is just denigrating another person who’s known to be a witness and talking in reference to their profer that’s also so satisfying that

Precondition but when it comes to the question of indirect communication again I think it comes down to um while there may I I I do think that in several instances here uh there has been a technical violation of Mr Floyd’s Bond and that Communications he made wound up before the eyes and ears

Of potential Witnesses code defendants um but not every violation compels rication and so I am stuck on the question of notice and that the bond conditions as written in my mind were not specific enough to account for the nuances of social media now um the judge said look y’all

Need to work this thing out uh during the uh testimony there uh finding will us go to my iPad this is Atlanta Journal Constitution ution as evidence that Floyd had violated the terms of his bond Willis cited 21 Floyd social media posts in one of those posts he tagged attorney

Jenna Ellis who recently pleaded guilty to one felony account is now a witness for is and is now a witness for the prosecution in the post Floyd questioned Ellis’s ethics suggest suggesting she was stealing money raised for her defense and urged her to return the money she had raised through her

Attorney Ellis told prosecutors she saw the post she said quote yes I believe it was meant to both intimidate and harass me and encourage others to harass me which others have done Willis also highlighted Floyd’s social media post about election worker Ruby Freeman who Trump falsely accused of voting fraud

Secretary of State Brad raffensberger and Gabrielle Sterling Chief Operating Officer for the Secretary of State now the judge said technically he did viol the bond but wanted them to work through some language I mean here’s the deal here uh to run uh you know look the judges are saying we got to protect

First Amendment rights what what they’re not going to do is allow uh these Trump people to do what Donald Trump does himself which is literally attack people especially Witnesses yeah um this man is really skating on some very thin ice here and he all and he got a really good break

You have to be very careful when you’re under an indictment and you’re looking at some very serious charges when it comes to playing around with trying to intimidate voters and we know that the Trump camp and the har right is very good at manipulating social media to basically send people to basically

Physically harm people that they feel are threats you know we’ve seen them SWAT people we’ve seen a lot of situations where people have feared for their safety you mentioned Ruby Freeman this woman went through a whole ORD deal her life was threatened just because she was a pole worker and she was considered

To be somebody who was quote unquote stealing the election and another thing is you know this particular situation is another lesson that you cannot do what those people do and have brown skin and expect to get the same results everybody else who got picked up by the F that

They bonded out he’s the only person as far as I know that’s still sitting there you know what I mean he should have been like his name say Harrison for and rolled out from under that Boulder before he saw it coming and stuff but he wanted to sit there and be with his

People and we now we see the result how would advise him to the advice of his counsel well um Michael when you show up looking like a leprechaun in court at green suit uh I don’t know what the hell is thinking well Harrison Floyd caught a break today

But as one of his attorney said he was walking close close to the line okay um it the the social media post especially the one directed towards Jenna Ellis um it looks like it was uh probably designed to uh intimidate co-conspirators these are co-conspirators with his who who are

Going to be Witnesses um but we’ll see how all this turns out we’ll see if there are other violations as well uh but yeah he he did catch a break today but the next time and there probably will be other violations okay because I think he’s trying to be like a

Black Donald Trump sub broken than Donald Trump but there will be other violations but the next time uh he may have his bill revoked Joy he caught a lucky break he had a judge who was willing to be me measured when it was obvious that he had

Gotten across the line at least in a few of these instances and what’s worse is what happens if someone were to act on some of his obviously foreseeable it’s foreseeable that someone might take this to be threatening it’s foreseeable that someone might act on on this in a way

That perhaps he wouldn’t it’s foreseeable and so someone might take those words and God forbid do something awful with with them so he has to be very very careful it would not be worth that moreover if he loses his attorney there is it was hard enough for him to

Get an attorney it will be much more difficult for him to get one as well he should listen to the advice of counsel he should shut up well um when you uh think that you are uh black Donald Trump uh that’s a little more hard to do but

That’s what you have but uh he’s going to take it all the way and so I can’t wait till he gets convicted and thrown in jail for being dumb so we’ll see what happens all right y’all we come back we’re going to talk about um this uh case that when you look just

Unbelievable frankly a brother was ambushed ambushed by cops as they helped the tow truck driver snatched his vehicle wait till we show you uh what the police chief had to say say today about the actions of his officers you’re watching roller Martin unfiltered right here on the Blackstar

We’ll laugh together cry together pull ourselves together and cheer each other on so join me for new shows each Tuesday on BlackStar Network a balance life with Dr Jackie Bruce Smith Creator and executive producer of the crowd family louder and prouder and you’re watching Roland Martin until an Alabama police chief says his officers violated department policies when they shot and killed a black man during a dispute with a tow truck driver Steve Perkins died on September 29th

When cops were called to to his home because a tow truck driver was trying to repossess a vehicle that driver reported that he was being threatened with a gun family and friends say the repossession was a mistake the unarmed officer uh the unnamed officer uh who uh fired the

Fatal shot remains on paid administrative leave now now we talked about this beforehand so folks uh let’s cue the video up so you can understand what actually took place here the tow truck driver arrived on the scene says uh he was threatened but here was here’s the problem when he came back video

Reveals and we show the video where officers were literally hiding behind Vehicles waiting for the driver to come back up come on guys roll a video so here’s the right here so here are officers waiting behind these vehicles car pulls up and then all of a sudden then a shot is

Fired what the heck was going on Lee May represents the family in this case Lee glad to have you here so so the chief said they violate violated violated department policies he well that was the officer who fired the shot but multiple officers were involved in this correct that’s right

Is an how many there are at least five officers involved directly on the scene okay five officers and again as we said there you know we’re watching this whole thing play out they’re hiding behind other cars it was essentially an ambush that’s exactly what it was Roland

I I have never seen a policy where police officers assist a tow truck driver in a repossession at all but if they they are going to assist in repossession let’s say that that there was some concern about the the safety of the tow truck driver an ambush that violates the fourth amendment that

Violates Mr Perkins right in his home that has caused this really terrible uh tragedy is certainly not the policy or best practices anywhere in the country okay so the family says it was a mistake was it have y’all communicated with the car company was it a mistake M Aken

Repossession it certainly was a mistaken repossession we are actually the family has been granted the vehicle back the one of the more callous aspects of what happened that night is after they got done gunning Steve Perkins down in his front yard they went ahead with the toe

And so the family was able to recover that car because the car was not in fact in repossession it was a mistake uh and so the toe truck company and the person the financial officer responsible for uh that car being in possession status is also named in the family’s Fe federal civil rights

Suit so we clearly had a mistake and that mistake coupled with these officers assisting this tow truck driver by essentially setting up an ambush that has left a black man dead that’s exactly it and and in America generally that means that these officers will be acquitted the the part

About this case that concerns me obviously the officers violated policy the chief has confirmed that in his most recent statement the mayor has confirmed that in the most recent statement police officers are not supposed to participating in the tow they’re certainly not supposed to set up and

Ambush a civilian but this civilian came out of his home with a weapon with a light affixed to a weapon and very often in American Juris Prudence if an officer faces a black armed citizen that is enough to suspend every constitutional right the right to protect your home the

Second Amendment the First Amendment right generally those go out of the out of the window in this case we’re going to be fighting again like we had to fight in the Tatiana Jefferson who was legally armed like we had to fight in in Cameron lamb in Kansas City who was

Legally armed to hold an officer accountable who gunned down a a black civilian who was legally armed protecting their property um this again this this is just one of those just strange stories uh this shooting took place at what time about 2: a.m. in the morning uh 2: a.m.

In the morning uh it is uh again just just baffling uh that cops would like I can’t remember police assisting in a vehicle repossession no it’s certainly not against the it’s certainly not a part of the policy uh uh often we complain that law enforcement officers are aligned with business owners and corporations

Against civilians uh and we see that play itself out in their practices but to to have here a a private entity come to illegally take someone’s car and to receive the assistance of law enforcement only to find out subsequently that the the toe was illegal and certainly the policies that

They relied on were illegal as well all right Lee Meritt we appreciate it thanks a lot thank you you know this right here uh is just beyond belief uh Michael again this mistake by this person that that cost this black man his life this mistake by by this company this

Administrated person plus what these cops did that man is dead yeah uh you know I I know um the attorney there Lee Meritt said that usually in situation like this those officers get off hopefully hopefully they won’t in this case but we’ll see what happens in court but also I know

They’re going to there’s going to be a civil lawsuit as well but yeah this is a tragedy uh it was apparently um the it was the car should not have been told but also um yeah I’ve never heard of a situation where um police officers

Assist in a uh repossession of a of a vehicle as well so this look like uh wrong on so many levels here so so um hopefully some uh level of Justice will will come from this as well uh uh to Ron again I just sort of just shake my head

And just you just sit here and go um only to black people happens only to black people first of all I want to say you know rest in power to that brother who lost his life but I’ve talked about this a lot of times you know if you are black

And male in America your skin is is the weapon and I’ve never heard like the brother said before and like attorney Meritt said if this was a simple repossession why do you need cops to come assist you with that I could see if

It was called in as a theft or if it was called in as something like an actual like a breaking like a Breakin but this was a repossession why not just go up try to contact this man and then leave and why were they hiding behind cars and

Basically looks like they Ambush this man as you said to basically take his life over a vehicle you know what I mean and how come and how come only one officers be in charge it seems like what they’re trying to do is throw this one officer to the wolves and then so the

Other ones can get off and everything and they can make this tidy case and hopeless just make a case closed what has to happen I think is there has to be light on this case there has to be aggressively pursued and there has to be more media light on this because these

Sort of things happen in small towns in the South all over the country I mean all over the South this is a tradition and this can’t happen here uh and and here’s his family Joy having to pick up the pieces had to bury a loved one uh and now having to demand

Answers because somebody screwed up and said rep repossess his vehicle and and here and here he is again um someone’s coming there he’s defending his property correct in the middle of the night let me just tell you what let me just say this this is why many even

Oppose the idea of repossessions because the value of that car is significantly diminished right who knows how long he’s even had it so one we need to reduce these kind of interactions and alterations to begin with so a lot of questions there to if you felt that the

The um tow truck driver was in danger why would you send him back hiding behind him a civilian it’s outrageous and then to Ambush this man carrying a legal weapon is completely unamerican and what I have not heard from has the NRA said any in defense of this law-abiding citizen protecting his

Property in the middle of the night his property and his family he didn’t know who was coming to his door this was wrong this was tragic and I can only imagine how he must have felt already frustrated something Financial might have happened that even led him I know

We focus on the fact that it was a wrong um repossession but what if it were a real repossession it still wouldn’t have been okay it still wouldn’t have been worth his life it was too valuable I certainly hope that there are people lose their jobs perhaps even their

Freedom when you are a police officer breaking policy has to mean more than an administrative tap on the wrist this was unacceptable this resulted in someone’s life you must feel the pain of this mistake all right folks hold tight one second I got to go to break uh when we come back

Understand how this game works you know we often hear from these people they’re saying oh brand safe brand safe brand safe brand safe you know so y’all cover the news controversial um know rolling you very opinionated so brand safe brand safe yet what what’s interesting to me is where

They do spend their money if y’all actually record all the Fox News shows for 24 hours you’re going to see a whole bunch of 1800 commercial shows a bunch of direct marketing but you also going to see some major commercials for do y’all know mercedesbenz actually has a sponsored segment on the

Five and they say some of the most foul shameful stuff every single day so um Elon mus uh Twitter I don’t give a calling X whatever the hell uh is having some issues because the folks had Media Matters reported on how they were um placing ads next to what they

Described as anti-semitic content uh because Elon mus endorsed these anti-semitic posts and he tried to say he didn’t so uh here’s what’s happened go to my iPad uh This Is The New York Times advertisers flee X as outcry over musk end endorsement of anti-Semitic post Scrolls Disney Apple Paramount and Lion’s gate halted

Marketing on X formerly Twitter as Elon Musk uh faced O A fural over anti-semitic abuse on a social media platform and then and then when you go through here um it’s interesting uh Disney said it was pausing spending on X as did Lion’s gate the entertainment payment and film Distribution Company and Paramount

Global the media giant that owns CBS Apple which spends tens of millions of dollars a year on X also suspended advertising on the platform a person with knowledge of the situation said they followed IBM which cut its spending with X on Thursday and there are a bunch

Of other advertisers so so here’s what I find them interesting and I put this tweet out there and I saidwell you know why the people are cutting advertising on Twitter why are they supporting blackowned media you know I I I you know I I go

Through here and I I I see you know I see lion gate um this is the same Lion’s gate that has all y’all know Lions Gate owns Stars right it’s the same Lionsgate got all them black shows they got all them power shows from 50 Cent Courtney km they got all these

Shows and we reached out to them um the last couple of years not a penny now they always want their stars to come on the show see I keep telling y’all see they value my platform enough to want the stars of their shows to come on but they don’t value US

Enough to speak money with us I sit here and you know like I see apple look you know we did a deal earlier this year it was in June I think um with apple um when for Swagger um I’ll tell you it’s $10,000 deal wasn’t wasn’t a major deal but

They’re spending tens of millions of dollars a year on X and I wonder what’s the um what’s the outflow uh to adver iing with black own media um Paramount they all want us to watch you know the remake of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and all their different shows where the money

At uh NBC Comcast pull their money you know what in fact I I got a theme the other day uh that was a a black star on one of the NBC shows they were trying to come on do come on my show we ain’t never heard from NBC about placing ads on our

Show and so if y’all want to understand the reality of why blackowned media remains small why black own media cannot Thrive why black own media is stuck where we are it’s because what happens is and I’m telling y’all I see this constantly what happens is everybody wants us everybody wants us to

Run their content for free but they run ads other places and guess what Twitter 90% of the money that Twitter makes comes from advertising just like every other Media company and this right here uh Joy is what we are constantly fighting and constantly dealing with and

So I say to those companies Great you know longer want to spend the money with Twitter fine turn around and actually spend that money with blackowned media Joy you Meed nope I’m on there you go all right black um you know show Runners black people with influence really need

To be saying we’re calling out the companies that we work with and we’re saying we want to work with you but we need to see you giving back to our communities black people are really starting to ask we don’t want to just be consumers we want to be owners we want

To control our media when you you know diversity is important despite what the Supreme Court says we need it in the media it changes the stories that get told it changes who controls the narrative and so you know we’re going to have to start deciding whether we want

To support companies who are admittedly saying we support folks who for a long time x has been doing when it was Twitter even now it has been doing plenty to give these companies pause about whether they should be advertising the fact that most of us don’t have another place to go to reach

The you know the world but them is also alarming and it’s because all of the advertising dollars are going towards this awful platform it’s time and hopefully the rest of us can follow I know I’ve been considering backing off we need them to then turn somewhere and I think this

Network is just the place to do it Roland you got your number that and I’m seeing some people comments love people always got something to say uh and they’re talking about oh it’s return on the investment black people watch more TV anybody else so the reality is this here

We are the consumer I saw a video from George Frasier uh earlier today I try to find it and bottom line is man we driving all of this we are the ultimate consumers we’re the ultimate consumers and we are making everybody else Rich these companies rich like I I saw a

Story matter fact today tuby growth is up 30% oh they targeting black people left and right guess who owns tuby rert Murdoch Fox Corporation Fox Corporation black folks built to run the Fox network but In Living Color and rock and all those shows with the local local stations they own that’s how they

Were able to launch Fox News and here we are running around blowing 2v up and same thing is happening boy everybody loves us because we make everybody billions of dollars you know what I’m glad that you’re as passionate about this as I am because I talk about this on a regular

Basis um I’m on Twitter a lot probably more than I need to be but as the sister said it is an excellent place to be able to get a message out with a minimum of effort the downside of that is as you said because we are so brilliant and

Because black people are so talented a lot of things that we do we do with no effort a lot of the things that we create the trends we create we do with no effort and because we make it look so easy other people who are looking at our

Culture feel like they can pull it from us for free and unfortunately that is true in a lot of cases you know a lot of people some kid who makes up a new dance in St Louis somewhere it goes viral and then somebody takes that and then it

Starts going around the country who gets the benefit from that when a song gets made off of that some um white influencer in in the in in Orange County somewhere some singer starts doing it he gets paid off of that black people who create this culture don’t get paid off

And that ties in media as well we have to start looking at what our worth is literally and we also have to start building networks amongst ourselves to start talking to people who know how the inside of the industry works so we can try to to capitalize on these things and

I’m going to say this and this make make some people mad we really got to start seeing the value and the things that we build for ourselves whether it’s my company whether it’s Roland Martin whether it’s Blackstar Network whether it’s a lot of these other creators who

Have brilliant ideas but they may not be able to bring it to scale but we got to be able to start seeing the value and the things that we do and start waiting for somebody else to give us a check you know what I mean advertising is

Important but we can also create our own media and fund our sales as well yeah but here’s but but but to run here’s the problem though the reality is okay C our own media and funding it ourselves um that doesn’t also pay all the bills and and you can’t grow in

Scale and and so and so here’s the piece $322 billion $322 billion is will be spent in 2023 on Advertising advertising is all over the place it’s Billboards it’s radio it’s television it’s dig digital uh it’s on the side of buses it’s all of that and so all I’m saying Michael is

That if Disney Comcast C uh uh uh Paramount if all these major media companies are reaping billions upon billions from advertisers so should blackowned media especially when we’re buying their products that’s right absolutely I I totally agree and what they what these corporations whether it’s Fox News whether it’s

Disney IBM Etc that refuse to buy ads on BlackStar media Network or uh or other African-American own media they want media sharecroppers let’s just be honest they want media sharecroppers okay they want us to buy their products they want us to watch their programs they want I

Don’t even watch two because from what I hear is a lot of lowbudget nonsensical movies anyway so they may have one or two good ones but um looking at some of the quality of it I can see why ruper murak will put out something like that

You know um ruper murak is a very problematic person on on multiple levels so um what what you invest in shows what you value and what you invest in you also Empower so if these corporations were to buy ads on africanamerican own media especially the Black Star Network

Okay they they they with then uh it’s it’s it’s a tacd endorsement to a lot of the messaging that comes from powerful media like this so I I think we need to leverage our dollars we need to uh put pressure on these corporations and we need to go back and study what Reverend

Jesse Jackson did with rainbow push in it was either 1980 1981 with that Nationwide economic boycott of Coca-Cola that Nationwide economic boycott of Coca colola and what he was able to what he was able to get from Coca-Cola as a result of that um so you know to Echo Dr

King we we we always have to e we always have to Anchor our external direct action with the power of economic withdrawal we have to do that here as well with these corporations FAL comment I’ll saying this here to to all you Simple Simon black people uh who I see

Commenting who say oh well if the viewership was there then the money would be there let me tell y’all how dumb y’all are on YouTube Alone on YouTube alone cuz again I just don’t some of y’all don’t pay any attention whatsoever uh to facts

Uh and that’s why I got to sit here and correct some of y’all on your silliness uh because y’all some of y’all just say just dumb stuff uh and you ain’t check no facts this here is called YouTube Studio this gives us a snapshot

Of how we do in the last 28 days the the average that we’ve done is 6.8 million views now mind y’all we got our own app we stream on Facebook Instagram twitch plus we got four fast channels so we’re all over so it’s 6.8 million the last 28

Days hm the last 90 days we’ve done 25,6 21,41 views in the last year on YouTube alone we’ve done 112.5 million views now try that with me again saying we don’t have the numbers we got the numbers we don’t have the money right that’s the fact all right

Folks hold tight one second we come back we’re going to talk about what’s happening in Wisconsin boy Republican they are not happy that Democrats got a 4-3 majority on the state supreme court and they’re like how dare y’all bring this jury Mandarin case back up they say that North Carolina when they took

Control of that court and immediately reversed three decisions that were decided 3 months earlier we’ll talk about political Jared manering in Wisconsin and how that could change the balance of power in that state you’re watching rer Martin unfiltered on the Blackstar Network hatred on the streets a horrific scene white nationalist rally that

Descended into deadly [Applause] violence white people are losing their damn Minds an angry prot Trump M storms the US capital we’ we’re about to see the rise of what I call White minority resistance we have seen white folks in this country who simply cannot tolerate black folks voting I think what we’re

Seeing is the inevitable result of violent denial this is part of American History every time that people of color have made progress whether real or symbolic there has been what Carol Anderson at University calls white rage as a backlash is the rise of the proud boys and the Baloo boys America there’s

Going to be more of this there’s all the proud boys guys this country is getting increasingly racist in its behaviors and its attitudes because of the fear of white people the fear that they’re taking our jobs they’re taking our resources they’re taking our women this is White Field I have [Applause] myone I’m D Barnes and this week on the frequency we talk about school to prison pipeline book bands and representing for women’s rights the group mom’s Rising handles all of this so join me in this conversation with my guest Monifa vandelli this is white backlash this is

White fear that happens every time black people in United States help to walk the United States forward towards what is written on the paper right here on the frequency on the Blackstar Network me Sher sh and you know what you’re watching Roland Martin unfiled well today Wisconsin conservative Supreme Court Justices vigorously

Question why they should overturn Republican drawn Maps they claim Democrats uh hope for more favorable uh results now keep in mind all of this is a result of a Democrat winning a state supreme court seat by 11 points in April that flipped the court 4 to3 boy these

Conserva is are not happy at all uh they did even said um this is wrong this is you uh if you wouldn’t be doing this if the results hadn’t changed and the attorney said no that’s not true we would still be filing these suits they point blank say how they uh impact and

How they frankly uh are uh written in support of um of uh of um Republicans and folks it’s not even close it’s not even close how what the Republicans have done they have literally jry mannered themselves into absolute power you look at the votes cast Democrats can win 55% of all the

Votes in the state and they still will not be in power Republicans control the Senate 22 and 11 they dominate the legislature and you know what they then do they then block the Democratic governor from doing what he wants to do they strip power from other Democrats

Elected Statewide as a way to punish them as a result of this uh Mark gabber is a senior director uh of redistricting at the campaign Legal Center joins us from Madison and uh mark this is first of all I I I I I love how Republicans get power and then go

Elections have have elections have consequences then get mad when Democrats win and Democrats go guess what our turn yeah well Roland uh you summed it up well for how extreme the situation in Wisconsin is and by the way I wish you hadn’t told me you have 7 million people watching this before

Started but uh but you’re right I mean the the Jerry Mander in Wisconsin is more extreme than we see anywhere else in the country uh the Wisconsin is a swing state and we’ve seen this in every presidential election uh going back to 2000 it’s usually decided by you know

10,000 20,000 votes and this last election uh governor iers won by the largest margin of any of the candidates on the ball I think he got like 50 52% maybe and he carried 38 of the 99 districts in the assembly meanwhile Ron Johnson the Republican Senate candidate

Uh won by a smaller margin over Mandela Barnes 26,000 votes yep exactly and and you know what Ron Johnson carried I think 23 or 22 of the 33 Senate seats he carried 70% of the Senate seats winning 51% of the votes so the situation in Wass sconsin is egregious uh the the

Case today ironically is was actually about a different legal issue it’s about whether the districts are detached pieces whether they’re contiguous um and I can regail you about that but but that that was the legal argument today um but the two things go hand in hand uh I this

Is the NBC story right here I love this here they say it uh some let me pull it up right here cuz it’s laughable uh when I when I see it they go they say some have compared the state map to Swiss cheese um and they were arguing over the concept of cont

Contiguity uh and and how the map should be applied and and and we know how the game is being played they will create these District they’ll be snaking through grabbing people from different places and W Wisconsin is so sadistic they were one of the they were one of

The first states where and I forgot the dude he died and his daughter turned over his laptop they were one of the first states that use algorithms to create the districts now I remember reading a story because there was a republican who complained about that uh

And what they did was they said that what they would do they would tell the Republicans okay you could come into this come to this office to look at the maps you you were sworn to secrecy had couldn’t take anything with you and they showed how they used use

Computers to parse the maps to create this super majority that’s what they did has nothing to do with the will of the people it it it was all about how can we completely have power that’s right they they what they did in 2011 was made it so that voting

Would no longer matter in Wisconson that it didn’t matter what how the people voted it didn’t matter whether they swung from Democrats to Republican even when some Republicans would decide hey we’re going to vote for the Democrats this year we think we want to change we want to send a message didn’t matter

There was one election in 201 or in 20 2010 and after that election the Republicans got in charge and then we were done with having elections matter in Wisconsin and we’ve seen situations where the Democrats have won 54% of the vote and as you said get 38 seats out of

99 and and this was done in the most extreme way in in secrecy as you said you know we found out about this because of a lawsuit and were’re able to get discovery of of what exactly happened with the with the secretive meetings of the law firm across the street from the

Capital and it’s just this is not how democracy is supposed to work uh you know voting is supposed to matter and hopefully you know we’ll at long last we’ll see uh a fair map you know the the court is deciding this legal issue about whether the maps are constitutional and

The court had a case a year ago and they really abdicated their responsibility they they basically just said the legislators provided this map we’re going to put it in place even though the governor vetoed the map the court ordered that map in place and that’s part of our that was part of our

Argument today that that that really goes well beyond the Court’s power to override the governor’s veto in that manner and the the reason I I got a kick out of because uh these conservative Justice is I mean they’ve been pissed since uh the Democrat won and Republicans in the legislature even went

So far as saying that they were going to impeach her and they thought by getting the advice of some former conservative Supreme Court Justices was going to bolster their case and then most of them said do not do this and then they backed off of it and so what they’re really

Saying is we love it when we win we hate it when you win and so therefore we would do whatever we want to to ensure that we remain in power even to the point where uh some of these Supreme Court judges got angry that the majority was deciding to move forward with you

Know mundane things in the building and it’s kind of like well that’s what happens when you got the majority I mean 43 54 hello well look I I make it a practice of not talking about the justices or the judges I appear in front of um but but the

Legislature did uh make this argument that uh justice proit should recuse and it really was just a frivolous argument and I think disrespectful both of justice proit and of the Court uh as an institution um there’s just no legitimate argument to say that the new Justice shouldn’t be able to hear a case

The people of Wisconsin elected her to hear cases that come before the she won by 11 points that was a blowout right and you know this was the largest there’s some complaints were about how the the Democratic party had you know worked on her behalf this was the most expensive race in judicial

History in America and the same thing can be said about every other election for the Wisconsin Supreme Court there you know it’s they were not the most expensive but they each got on all sides got money from various political parties yet no one is saying that those justices

Shouldn’t be hearing the case they’ve all been elected they’re all judicial officers they’re they are expected and they do uh you know hear the case and hear the facts and hear the evidence and hear the law and come to a decision and and I just I find it just uh

Disrespectful uh that this argument is being made in this manner um questions for my panel um Joy you’re first I mean this is completely a victory for the voters what do you ex trying to get the right question here but what do you think voters need to

Think about this moment how do they need to get engaged here uh you know just give us some intake if you’re voter out there what should you be taking from this case well hopefully uh help is on the way that Wisconsin has suffered under unconstitutional maps in so many

Different ways like you know obviously it’s a partisan Jerry mener that’s horrible but there’s so many little technical things wrong with the map that violate the State Constitution and so what I hope you know and I don’t make predictions about how my cases turn out

But what I hope is that that in November 2024 Wisconsin and I’m from Wisconsin just to to to put that out there this is my home state I care a lot about this I hope that finally in this next election voters will be voting in a map that is

Responsive to them that whoever they want to vote for that the end of the day the results of those elections translate into who’s elected and and that seems like the most basic part of a majoritarian democracy and I really hopeful that we’ll get that so what I

Would say is turn out in 2024 help is on the way and if you know hopefully we’ll have a map in place for you that finally reflects uh the Democracy that the state’s supposed to be Michael your vote matters your vote matters yes all right uh attorney gabber um so if the uh

Wisconsin Supreme Court overturns these uh Jerry Mander uh legislative Maps can you talk about uh policies that are pressing in Wisconsin that uh could be affected or could be put in place if you can get uh the right people in place get more Democrats in place Etc can you can you

Talk about how this can result in policy changes that impact people in Wisconsin especially African-Americans if possible yeah let let me give you an example in our litigation that’s before the court right now there was what’s an amikas brief it’s a friend of the court brief

That was filed by um mothers of children who suffer from lead poisoning in in Milwaukee and they they eloquently talked about how hard it is to get the state legislature to do anything about this problem right now and how the state legislature has taken away the power of

Local governments to do anything about this problem and one of the things that just struck me is they said that because of the gerrymander what they’re having to do is go into Suburban white communities and go to churches and ask Suburban white women to call their legislator legislators and what you know

Republicans in the suburb and try to get them to care about this and and like that’s their latest strategy because it’s not enough to go to their own Representatives because they’re in the minority and they’re stuck in the minority because of the way the map is gerrymandered and I this just struck me

You know you ought to be able to go to your own legislator and have them have the in a swing state and have them have the chance to build a coalition of you know well-meaning people and and they said you know hopefully this will work our our new Suburban Church strategy but

So far it hasn’t and and I was just so struck by that is what a real example of the harm that comes it’s not just about democ rats and Republicans like this harms people and their daily lives and and their ability to have to protect their families from environmental

Dangers so I just think you know that that sort of for me is the perfect example of what what’s wrong with this ton thank you I don’t believe anything happens in a vacuum and it seems like what you’re describing this happening in Wisconsin is sort of a pattern of balkanization

And gerrymandering is happening across the country where right- Wingers want to kind of break up the votes in every um sit in loogan so my question to you is do you see this as a pattern that’s happening Nationwide and how can people who are concerned about where their vote

Goes and the quality of their vote can push back against yeah this I mean Jerry mandering is obviously not a new thing and it and it got really bad in 2011 um because there was the Tea Party wave and and I’m not you know right now the worst

Offenders are for the most part the Republican legislators there’s states where the Democrats do this to I mean Illinois is pretty badly gerrymandered and and like nothing should be gerrymandered all of the states should just be fairly drawn to represent whoever lives there and you

Know in an equal basis but but it is the case just factually that that the worst offenders right now are Texas and Wisconsin and and Florida uh but there is hope over the past decade uh a lot of States voters in States particularly states that allow voters to pass

Initiatives at The Ballot Box so Michigan and Colorado and and other states Ohio is going to have one here in the next election uh there’s going to be the opportunity to vote on Independent commission so just take this away from the politicians entirely and that way you have independent folks who are just

Citizens of the state who are their main goals are to enforce the Voting Rights Act comply with federal law and then draw districts that represent the communities and that aren’t skewed in favor of certain parties so you know it’s not all doom and gloom that we have

Seen a lot of progress Us in in a lot of places and hopefully um we’ll get through you know this lawsuit will end with a good result in Wisconsin as well but but there has there’s we got sort of at the worst point of Jerry mandering I

Think over the last decade in this second half of President Obama’s first term and it’s taken a decade to dig out of that and and and try to to end this and I think Wisconsin’s kind of The Last Stand of the the states that were really bad obviously as rolling said at the

Beginning we’re seeing backsliding in North Car in it’s you never actually like you can’t you can’t let your guard down once you win something you got to you got to keep trying to protect it well and uh keep in mind uh Ohio created their very commission and the

Republicans there are like yeah we’re GNA ignore it I mean so I mean so it’s absolutely IGN the Supreme Court they just we’re gonna never mind yeah like okay new commission we’re back on the ballot said okay you weren’t going to follow that rule we’ll make it so you

Can’t get out of this yep absolutely all right we appreciate it thanks a lot thanks for having me Good Luck thank you very much all right folks uh we come back uh Derek shovin goes to the Supreme Court trying to get his case reviewed enjoy prison son we’ll be back

Said in their appeal that the former officer suffered from prejudicial pre-trial publicity and that he was denied a venue change suggesting jurors uh lean toward conviction to avoid civil unrest instead of actual guilt now to run they pretty much got it right your Puck ass guilty you would come to me

First let him rot I I don’t care if he needs to stay in there until they drag him out um I never will forget where um me and some friends were sitting around when the verdict came down because you know we know the way the system works here there’s no guarantee of anything

And I’ll never forget that look on his face when he got that sentence in his eyes bugged out like who me I’m a white man I’m not supposed that this isn’t supposed to happen to me and it’s just kind of wild that um I’m not I shouldn’t

Say I’m surprised because you know when you have the audacity to take someone’s life when somebody’s begging you and screaming at you to take your knee off their neck of course you going to try to use the system and feel like there’s a miscarriage of justice but no he got

What he got he gets what he gets and he needs to stay there until they carry him out the box I hope you got lots of cigarettes uh absolutely let’s go to Chicago folks where a former Cook County Judge uh has is facing a felony charges so prosecutors say she allegedly stole

A double V campaign uh they’re fighting against Hitler and the Nazis but they’re also fighting against racism and lynchings and segregation here at home as well and you know I I don’t understand so we we’ll see how this plays out all this has to be proven in

Court once again I’m not a defense attorney but I’ve been around enough of them to notice this all has to be proven in court but Ju Just the allegations alone I I don’t know if this is true I don’t know how somebody could could do that especially to uh uh a Tuskegee

Airman um who who and these brothers faced um racism in in the military they faced racism in the Army uh sacrificed their lives to fight for a country that uh discriminated against when it came to them taking advantage of the GI Bill benefits when they got back home so uh

We we’ll see how this plays out but if these allegations are true you know this is this is a tragedy here I I don’t understand how something like this could happen well um I do um greed um that happens um folk who believe they they’re going to get away

With it uh that happens as well uh you know these things happen uh a lot and and the reality is um you know uh folk don’t like to sit here and and be held accountable yes innocent until proven guilty but my goodness uh that’s that’s awful uh here

Theat wants to interview you for being a because I’m my friends in Immigration all right y’all so here’s a deal uh that guy name is steuart selwitz uh and here’s uh what happened uh to Stuart that that was not the only video uh where he was busted uh here was a second

Video that was recorded by uh the cart vendor uh and this is the one that really went viral and it’s called Stewart uh a little problem watch This go why see here Go It’s not my fault that you pray to a criminal listen listen I’m I’m working now okay can you leave please go please you’re not working there’s nobody here I’m just working here there’s nobody here here I’m going to put big signs here that say this guy is believes in

Hamas do you want to buy something no I don’t okay why you say here I won’t I won’t give you a penny of my money listen listen why you st here what you want to you want to buy something no okay go I don’t want to go I have a

Right to stand here you have no right to be on the sidewalk you have a permit yeah I have a permit I have everything I have a license okay but you don’t have a Visa I have I have a BN my friend go what do you have it’s not your business

Go it is my business cuz I actually know the guy who owns all these Stu I have American citizen do you have American citizen do have it how how did you become an American citizen not your business go you’re right I born here but you’re a terrorist you support terrorism

Listen go I’m not support something you do you support terrorism I’m not some you children you’re a terrible person you kill children not me what go my kids what about my kids you kill children not me go I didn’t kill children okay I see here you know why if we kill 4,000

Palestinian kids you know what it wasn’t enough it wasn’t enough go go go go all right y’all so um that guy’s name is steuart selwitz he actually worked for the Obama Administration in the state department uh he uh has been fired uh from his job he was um apparently

Working for uh a uh I’m trying to pull it up um the company he was working for uh bottom line is uh uh homie no longer has his job um it was called Gotham government relations uh he joined them a year ago as its Foreign Affairs chair here’s the thing for me joy

That is dumb okay this dude is dumb for attacking this man who’s a who’s who’s just doing his job I think it’s stupid people tearing down the photos of hostages that’s dumb there have been people who uh people who’ve been fired uh the photos of Israeli hostages posted

And folks have gone Tor them down and they’ve been fired it was a public defender resigned from her job as a result um and and and and so I I I don’t I just don’t understand um uh the need of folks to to do that here’s the

Reality 1, 1400 Israelis Dead uh several thousand Palestinians dead I keep saying death is death and it’s not justified death it’s it’s real uh I am hopeful I see the stories out there uh they’re nearing a potential uh ceasefire in order to release hostages hopefully that least is something else uh but you

Literally have people who are uh accosting others uh with an opposing view people who are Jewish people who are Palestinian or even who are not and it’s just shameful it’s shameful um you know the speech is sacran in this country but there is a line where you cross where

You are harassing people where you are inciting violence that is not okay that is not okay so we want to protect people engaged in constitutionally protected speech which why I’m so proud of what the ACLU has is doing protecting students um who are exercising their right right to

Speak out against what they see as Injustice um in Palestine in Gaza in the Gaza region and those students who are speaking out in favor of Israel we want to protect that kind of speech but what Stuart was doing should should not be protected and I hope that in addition to

Be fired for being fired from his job that folks are looking to him to make sure he is not some kind of risk some kind of violence risk to um you know both the people who are are selling on the streets um I don’t know if it was

The same vendor he was harassing or if it was another one or anything else Stuart is clearly on the edge and frankly they need to look back he was the government employee did anyone have any complaints against him because steuart’s problems didn’t just begin on October 7th this is someone who’s deeply

Disturbed deeply Disturbed and we are tired of people who are deeply Disturbed for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with what is going on in Israel and and Gaza making it about that doing it in their name they are wrong um um to run this guy said 4,000 kids kill kill

Wasn’t enough I heard somebody else yell at some Jewish protesters Hitler didn’t finish the job that’s some evil to say you know you know first of all this particular conflict is bigger than what happened on October 7th this is a conflict that goes back at least 70

Years going back to 1948 and even if you want to get outside of the technical historical record we can go back to the Bible the Quran and the U and the talmud and say this has been going on for Millennia but this particular situation is bringing out a lot of dark energy

From just regular rank andile people you know we’ve seen the images that are coming out of Palestine we’ve seen the images of hospitals being destroyed we’ve also seen the images of hostages being taken and I feel like a lot of people are seeing these images and they’re shocked by them and they’re

Horrified by them but the fact remains that passion anger and rage are valid emotions what you do with those emotions is on you and this is actually really surprising to me I figured this guy was either some sort of investment banker or a broker or somebody who worked on Wall

Street the fact that he had a position in foreign policy and he worked in government administrations really is scary to me because that makes me wonder what sort of leg what sort of um policy was he crafting while he worked in government what sort of policy was he

Crafting and whose ear does he have right now if he’s willing to be bolded enough to go out on the street and not even harass somebody in a government position he’s harassing some random guy with a food stand in New York and it also shows you that I say this a lot too

We got to get out of this idea thinking that this sort of bigotry happens in Mississippi and Alabama that sort of mentality happened in New York which is supposed to be the most diverse city in America that sort of mentality happens everywhere I just for the life of me Michael don’t

Get this notion of let let me literally attack somebody I mean I to say Hitler didn’t finish the job and to say 4,000 kids being killed not enough that’s some again that’s some evil that’s evil to say that that’s pure evil but people uh like Stuart Little

Here are are bullies and they they only pick on people who they think won’t fight back and he’s going to make the mistake he’s going to run up on the wrong person under underestimate them and they and they’re gonna whoop his ass that’s what’s going to happen I’m sorry

To say that’s he G he he people like that won’t stop okay it’s something wrong with him but he’s gonna run up on the wrong person on the right day and they gonna whoop his ass that’s what’s gonna happen so uh uh but yeah this this

Is a complicated issue as uh Tron was saying and this also goes back uh even before 1948 when um uh Israel uh declared their independence uh going back to about 1516 when Ottoman Empire controlled that area that that is in where we have the conflict but um it’s important for people to really

Understand that um the lives of Palestinians are equal to the lives of Israelis the lives of Israelis are the equal to the lives of Palestinians okay so you have uh innocent people on both sides being killed now there more casualties on the Palestinian side right now it’s close to

14,000 but um this is a complicated issue dealing with not just Israel and Gaza but also Iran Lebanon uh Syria Egypt so that whole region Northeast Africa and Middle East so uh hopefully um they can come to some resolve uh uh um here and the real question is who’s

Going to control uh Gaza um after Hamas got it which is which is the government yeah well I just I just I I would just say uh to folks um be wary what you post be wary what you say because you could be guaranteed you losing your job just

Letting you know all right y’all we come back Marketplace segment uh we’ll talk about uh a a company that makes uh products that to protect your hats when traveling trust me you don’t want to miss this uh it’s different types of hats and I’ll show you uh exactly their

It and see what kind of trouble we can get into it’s the culture weekday at three only on the Blackstar Network me Sherry she with Sammy Roman I’m Dr Robin B pharmacist and fitness coach and you’re watching Roland Martin unfiltered [Applause] all right folks so when I was in Atlanta for invest Fest uh Randy Bryant who you often see on our show she actually had a booth that was in the uh exhibit Halls a whole bunch of vendors uh that were in there so as I was heading over to her

Booth uh I was speaking to people taking selfies and stuff along those lines uh and I came across this one booth where I saw this pretty interesting uh box and so this this is what it was and I saw it and I was like yo what’s that uh and so uh the sister

Was in the booth she began to tell me exactly uh the products they had and I was like yo that’s pretty cool uh and so um she gave me a card thank goodness cuz I completely I told her I also told her to email me she did email me uh but

Thank goodness I remember I had her card and I found it and so I told Carol I hey let’s get her on the show because you know we always want to feature different black own businesses you got Christmas coming up uh and I just saw this and I

Was like yo this is a really great product folks and so uh the company’s called the welin society uh the CEO uh is is tedria Strickland peacock uh she joins us right now uh and uh sadria glad to have you here and so uh th this is

Actually a product uh that protects your hats while you traveling correct yes sir yes sir it is a hard shell hat case it is a backpack as well so you can have a diverse carry distra are adjustable so you can change them to make it a cross body not only

Can you carry your hat in here we also have the ability to open it up and inside there is a removable brim protector so you can actually carry your clothes shoes outfits toiletries you have your whole out outfit in here and just get ready all right so help me so I

We just backpack Faith come here so faith is my niece she she’s uh she’s at how University get over here come on you about to model something get over here get over here you walking slow we on live TV you got to move faster all right

So so when you say okay so when you said it’s a backpack so now is it is it for both shoulders or it just a strap across both shoulders okay I don’t know how that okay you got to show me how that’s done but all right you see this right

Here you attach the strap up here and then you attach the two down here so these parts right here are going to go on your body okay we’ll have to figure out later okay but in in the in the meantime you can actually uh put it on come on stick

Your arm through come on rockhead stick your arm through all right I mess up your bun you’ll be all right uh so you can actually again you put it across your body so you can actually carry it uh and what was interesting is uh step over here so what was interesting is

That when I I open it up so this is on the inside now is this does this one on the inside come with it or is this a separate hat box no that’s a separate hat box gotcha all right because no I’m was just checking because this was on

The inside of that one and I was like okay does that come on the inside now this one is actually pretty cool because I thought this was cool because so I have uh I play golf and I have different straw hats and so this one here holds

Your smaller uh your smaller hats right yes sir yes sir it does and it is a backpack as well all right same thing backpack as well now the reason I liked uh this one I to take this one off Faith so the reason I like this one is because

Our whole l so what typically so I’m going to show you the con so typically like I have cowbo hats and other hats as well and so this is the normal this is the normal style um hat box when you travel and the so the problem with this

The problem for me with this one is that pretty much it only fits one hat only fits one hat so what I thought was what I thought was cool uh about your what I thought was cool about your headbox when I popped this one open uh was that when I opened this one

Here I could L I kept this in cuz you said this is the brim protector right yes sir all right what I thought was cool is I can literally Carry Three cowboy hats in one yes sir so that way cuz part of the problem when you traveling you know you only got one

So now you got to sort of coordinate all your clothes around that one particular hat where I can do different ones here and you also have one for baseball caps right yes sir I sure do all right and so same thing I take that one off Faith so

This one’s also pretty cool now this one uh this one has only uh doesn’t have a backpack right no it’s just a shoulder shot all right so just a shoulder yeah you can just put that across across your body uh I thought I thought that one was

Also pretty cool uh and you said you don’t have to actually carry hats in here you can carry other stuff yes sir right and so I thought this one was pretty cool too because this one has enough room I told y I tried this see I

Know to running uh and so I actually pull this so I actually put in one it’s Alpha hat Astros Rolland Martin unfiltered another Alpha hat my homeboy window Hogan original t Golf Classic uh and another uh hat so actually this one actually was able to put six baseball caps in this one yes

Sir so how did you come up with this well you know living in Atlanta you go to the airport and you see a lot of things and and I saw so many people in the airport with five and six hats on their head traveling are you are you

Serious I I’m telling you you have a wife will have on two hats the husband got on three you it’s it’s crazy in the airport but people will wear multiple hats on their head so they don’t have to check their hats or like for the ball caps they actually attach them to their

Duffel bag and then try to put it up in the overhead compartment well of course they going to get crushed up there you know you can only protected so much in the overhead compartment it’s like a a freefor all so when did you so when did

You create this what year was it I created this in 2021 so but the idea came from just walk around the airport going they ain’t got nothing to carry their hats in yeah it it a lot of my products that I have are because of things that I feel

That people need that we just don’t have I’m I’m a creative in that nature but I also like to help and do service so my hat cases are just one of the many products that I offer that provide Posh protection against the natural and technological

Element gotta all right hold up I I I needed something to cover up uh I needed something to cover up uh face bun so uh let me uh what your mama just text me she said I can do this so uh she said uh she said yeah cover that bun let’s see

Let’s see right here cover that bun up there you go don’t don’t pull on the brim I had the brim done girl right now that bun is too that ain’t going to do it your bun is too damn big that’ll do it that’ll do it don’t touch the brim

Okay I’m sorry that’ll do it there you go I’m smushing your bun all right so all right so you talked about uh for the hats now what other products do you have well I also sell prescription ready blue light glasses all of our glasses are prescription ready like the ones I

Have on but they’re pre-coded for blue light for people that just want a nice pair of fashionable blue light glasses but don’t feel like they need to to go to the optometrist to get glasses they can just buy mine right off the bat and then if they do need prescription they

Can take them to the optometrist and get prescription in them our sunnies actually are the blue light glasses with the actual sunglass component attached so you have an option to wear sunglasses and your regular glasses too A lot of people don’t like transitions those were created because I kept seeing people at

The store that would have on their regular glasses and have sunglasses sitting on top of them all right I was like this is now what are all the other bags you got in front of you right now so this is our newest product these are our concealed carry bags all of our

Concealed carry bags lock to protect tiny hands and sticky fingers oh that’s right you show you showed me uh you showed me that bag I was like I ain’t going to need that I don’t carry no gun but go ahead I tell say it again about the tiny finger things tiny hands and

Sticky fingers from a accessing protective devices all of our bags come with a removable holster for people like you that don’t necessarily carry a protective device but want to protect their passports wallets phones while they’re traveling they can just lock it up in here and all of our bags lock and

All of our bags have removable holsters for that purpose because we know that everybody doesn’t carry protective devices but they may have medications they may have other items that they may want to protect and store away and lock up so all of our bags that you see here

Are our basically we’re doing a movement called Tastefully tactical we believe that you should not have to look like what you carry if you want to carry concealed in a bag it shouldn’t have all those rivets and buckles and things on it or look military it could look

Professional it could look casual it doesn’t have to basically look like what is going on with the bag cool uh questions for the panel uh Joy you first first of all sis I love this I don’t know if you can hear me I love she

Got you she got you yes please tell me please tell me you are hearing from the NRA and they are going to allow you to sell at their conference I have not but I have work with Naga the national African-American Gun Owners Association and I was at their conference this past summer and

Did you see a lot of bags there I did yes sir yes sir I did get a lot of support from the community yes sir all right tow run yes first of all sister that’s a brilliant idea um I had to go while you

Were talking about R I had to go put my um Scully on and everything just to give you an idea for another um you don’t need no damn bag for that you can just stuff that in a damn backpack you put that in your pocket no I want to I want

To be fly too like y’all and stuff I ain’t going to r no cowboy hat but I’ll put on the hoodie when I got to go outside of my skullet you know what I mean Plus got a lot of head up here you don’t need no bag for that look we got

We sell sat line skullies too I just don’t have them out today but we sell SC sa line skullies to keep those edges fresh and safe from getting rubbed out by the by the by the hats so we do have I got more edges but baby he ain’t got

No hair he don’t need he he ain’t got no hair he don’t need no satin line uh SC he don’t need none of that a little bit Yeah Jo Joy could use it uh but go ahead T ask your question real quick though um that first of all

Your stuff is brilliant and your ideas are amazing and I miss wish you much success have you thought about maybe hitting up some markets where place of like like brothers wear a lot of hats like like the DC area Atlanta but you see a lot of brothers rocking for doors

And have you thought about reaching out to maybe like um religious conventions because you know sisters wear their crowns to church for conventions have you thought of that yes sir I actually um talked to some people about preparing to attend some of those conferences next year here uh I’m learning about

Conferences as they as as I grow in my business um So eventually I’ll have my great list of conferences to attend and I’ll be able to you know align them with my product line thank you much success to you your stuff is beautiful Michael thank you I appreciate it thank you hey

Cedria hey this is a um fantastic idea and I could definitely use the uh one for baseball hats for like my five Beta Sigma uh fraternity baseball hat Roland doesn’t know anything about this you damn right I don’t know nothing about that I don’t know nothing that little

You that little flimsy ass hat you don’t need to protect that hat rolling that little flimsy little hat rolling rolling rolling didn’t any you rolling you look like a black Yim Sam rolling with that with that hat on hey hey hey don’t don’t hate I’m native Texas don’t hate and listen listen

That’s why I kept telling Faith don’t touch my Brim I took mine in and had them properly steamed the brim so it it was just right so that’s why I got I need to see I got to teach her you ain’t got a cowboy hat do you I gotta teach

Her when you do a hat you gotta be slow right here and you got to hold it like this here so you don’t mess the brim up for those of you who don’t nothing about hats they don’t nothing about hats that’s how understand and that’s how

You’re supposed to put it on like this here see you don’t know go ahead ask you little question so so sria for my for my LL UJ uh Kango hat right here would I wear the same would I use the same one for the baseball hats for this one do

You or do you have something like a different style for this no that one would actually fit in a baseball um cap one because it’s got a wide enough base for that one to fit and not be messed up okay so J for the baseball hat one like

About how many did you say six hat how many hats can you get in there ideally now you are talking about Kango hats so that’s a whole different hat because those are well just say for baseball hats just say for baseball hats oh I could have I could have fit about eight

I got six in here right now okay I probably could have fit another two uh in there uh and again and again this this large one like I have fedors as well and uh other cowboy hats so again I got three and the and these you know I got three uh large cowboy

Hats in here doors are a little smaller and so yeah and this is and again this is It’s easily this can actually slide under the seat or even fit above okay yes sir all right great idea so what’s what’s what’s the uh what’s the uh range the cost for like the

Baseball cap one the large one uh and the uh the midsize one um the baseball cap one is 66 the medium siiz one in the middle that one is 100 and the large one is 200 gotcha well listen when you well first of all like I one of my Cowboys

Hats was $140 by itself and the last thing you want to do is get uh your nice hats um uh messed up and I’m sure you sell a whole bunch of these for all them uh uh Dorthy height style Church sister in them hats huh yes sir well them and

The Fedora wearers cuz you know Atlanta is the the land of the large brim so um that’s why I created this case because I initially started with the case in the middle and I got a lot of big brim guys and girls saying hey you know what you

Got something bigger than this and so I went into the lab and created this one uh where do you make your products where are they made they are made overseas okay I got you so uh and uh and so you’ve been doing this since 2021 yes sir well I I’ll tell you uh

From from from a hat person uh I know my dad’s watching uh and no I not bringing these home for you so just letting you know right right now don’t even send me no damn text message you know cuz you know when I have alcohol folk and other

Comes he like bring me one of those back no no I ain’t bringing this home uh but the reality is and like I said you know this is the traditional style right here and I always hated I always hat like I was flying the other day uh and one of

DL hugley guys s the Entertainer flies with his hats as well and I I hate this because again all you can do is just carry this and you can really only fit one hat in it uh and so I like the fact that you can throw this over your

Shoulder wear it as a backpack and again you can get three large let’s say the three cowboy hats in here as well so uh you have your discount codes of the website is www.the w k i n society.com first of all and what’s the why is it called the
