Envy Angela Ye Charlemagne guy, we oughta breakfast luxury behind us and what we do everything he was a nice in love. This is how we talk every days of anyway. It wasn't coming a high, and now you will know we have a special guess. He served a is as the forty fourth president of the United States. Ladies and gentlemen, President Borrell about I've never heard of never. You know what I heard a yell, and I appreciate you guys have. It is wonderful to see you again. Thank you for being a thank you and we know how Mr Zaleski, right into a promised land. Why is that the title viable When I think about America, I think about both where we ve been where we might be gone, I am reminded of Doktor King speech, famous speech. You gave shore,
before he got shot about a minor get there. with you, but I've been mountaintop night, and I see the promised land. I think that That idea that we're not where we need to be, but we still act on faith in the belief that we can get. That's how I think about America. That's all I think about my own political journey. that's not one were its ever to be finished. It's not one where I Missus gardener. Quality is gone, but but we can continue Try to do better. That was the spirit and I want to communicate you say in the previous that America's ideals have always been secondary to conquest and subjugation array. caste system in at the pretend otherwise be complicit in a game that was right from the start, so my question: the game is rigged and we notified is fixed. Talkin black people ever believe in this idea of Amerika
a promise delay. That's one argument and that's how some people feel and There is evidence of that slavery, Jim Crow, Africans being driven from their lands. On the other hand, what we also have stories is abolition, and so rights, movement and books, fighting for their freedom and Each generation passing on a legacy of struggle that results in something a little bit better than when I try to do, the whole is an honest. Sure about how there is a gap. between the myth of America and the reality of America will never compete the close that gap, but if we put in the effort, if we stay focused reach out, then we can get closer
to the idea of what one about the lessons I tried to teach in the book about politics is: It's never gonna be perfect. We live in a big country with a lot of different points of view we ve got hundreds of years of oppression, discrimination that have to be overcome? We ve got without the natural human impulses that you see around the World Greed power, your folks trying to get over on others. But you also see kindness Urge oaks lookin out for each other, and a lot of goodness, along with a bad and and in politics the job, is not to say but you're ever going to eliminate all the bad it's kin. you in power the good to make Kids, get a better education to make sure,
that some folks have better healthcare to make sure that there is. Less discrimination and police are more accountable and if you if you do that, and you stick with it now. The distance we ve traveled, listen just in my lifetime we're talkin before there we got I'm here, I'm I'm fifty nine! I don't feel old and in our human history. Fifty nine years is a blink of an eye I would have been sitting here, nine years ago. We could imagine You guys have in your own, show that you control and that you are producing I could imagine being a former president man, the best selling book, that just wasn't in the cards, and that was just now. in my life, and so you would, We can imagine if we keep Workin the. Maybe our kids Certain our grandkids, If we do it right, they're gonna. Be that much more ahead of the game now, but the one thing
that we always have to remember is history, doesn't go forward and can go backwards to an opponent vigilant things can get worse, President Obama, I wanted to ask you something about Reverend Jeremiah right remedies. Because you addressed at Michelle. Obama has addressed it. Do you think that in today's climate. A comments and the speeches edge, Jeremiah right, gay would still be look the same way where you would have acted distance yourself from him today, in order to look at it's an interesting thing is I write about in the book. rubber right as an example of somebody who, supremely gifted preacher Trinity, United Church Christ answers Chicago Amazing ministries still does I was very close to a lot people mega irrigation as well as ran right in national politics, if you can take out a bunch of sound bites. That say
God Damn America, even if the the text as it is prevented because he's trying to describe how somebody might feel are you: it wasn't promoting the notion that guy was damning. America is making the point that, if you like, that slavery and discrimination. You could see that inclusion of people feeling that there was not an alignment with christian values and America, but if you'd see it a two minute sound by trying to explain that is too complicated, in my campaign, I had their cars, Lee. Manage the fact that the truth is that by experience on a day to day basis are not going to be the same as the truth is that the country is a whole experience, but if you want to,
operated by Bubba politics. You have to be able to communicate and translate for the countries. and then there were times where I was eyes by the reaction folks, generally, your white Here's to certain things that to me didn't seem like there was something they should be surprised or upset about, and I suspect- attitude would probably a little bit different now and I give to give one example, but I use in the book when no profession kept gates gets arrested in his own house. I write about the fact that in a press conference. I asked about it. I said well enough. I think the police probably acted stupidly in a resting, six year old, professor who's got a lame leg house after he showed them ideas, even if he comes the policing
all now to do just leave right and that was treated with There are all kinds of controversy in I pull with white voters drop drastically because the notion is somehow I was insulting the police. I think today, in light of everyone, This happened in part of what happened this summer terms of raising awareness of potential lies in the criminal justice system? I suspected would not have seemed as much of a controversial statement. As it was viewed at the time, even though at the time I didn't think I was particularly controversial. You dont want it and a good fight chapter did Henry lose, gets gate situation. but you also see that, wouldn't it happened to a white person in the same situation. But at the same time you said you You have said that then, but you didn't I'm. So we might tongue in situations like this. Are we trying to protect one
things that you and I try to community in this book is what what's that best way too. Expand? Folks, understanding the Where, where do you see teachable moments and There have been times where, for example, the tragedy in Charleston when REM pick me, and others who are, praying and invited the young white man into pray with them. He then shoot them. His address He has been filled up with resistance ideology that the terrible moment where I could say some. things that I might, I have said in another context will end
Part of what I also tried to describe in the book is the fact that the prophetic boys that you have. If you are a civil rights later Malcolm, if your Martin it's not gonna be the same voices if your politician, because politicians, the whole thing is I've gotta. figure out. How do I get this white senator from his conservative state to maybe support this bill It's different from me. Teaching as a civil rights later or a moment later, and each Each of us have different roles to play in that process. Now we are more Barack Obama president. Obama, we come back as the breakfast logo morning morning. Everybody is the J Envy, Angela Ye Charlemagne guy. We oughta breakfast club
we celebrate in more look the king day were not here, but we get Mona Interview with Barack Obama is the preface locomotive. One thing I love about the boat present Obama is used relationship which wife talk about how your wife is the boss inescapable was talk about how every decision has to be approved by a wife in One thing that I love about the book is everybody talks about relationships and sometimes thing imperfect, but in your look, you show that things are perfect, not married nineteen years, so when talk about your wife and you talk about how hard it was and how she didn't want you to write. How bad did it get in the household it ever So point wings, like you know what? Maybe this is not gonna work for us all. Is that never an option when it came to relationship thought of things? there were times where Certainly she thought one go to. But Michel, as somebody who, has a different and remember me, and I think,
the matter she has more of a temperate than I does than I do I think she can get more passed mystic, sometimes about things than I can. I tend to be pretty. Even Keel devil figure, this out a kind of approach. but, as I write about the book, sometimes that's that itself is frustrating to Europe. Right if you're, like hey honey, you know, why you get so excited about Russia, then shall be like you just not listening to me at all right right. And I listened to you I'm just saying you know, it's not so bad. Well, what do you think I am overreacting, allow me to say and menu you're in that pattern. We so there is no doubt that there were periods there were episodes where she was questioning, whether the life that I had charter,
us was compatible with what she wanted that lie in oh shit. Michel once told me something better, adding summed it up pretty well. She said I have organised my life not to have a lot of mess in my life and politics by definition brings mess into our household. You got people but I would never associate with otherwise who now suddenly, talking about us or the pen impact on, our well being, and I don't that's not what I want, and I understood it. And the sacrifice she made. is one bad. You know, I'm work off like a bit.
but that has been debated it in its own right. Ok, they alone, and I just accused the interest was high. I did you get over, it was it ever p? Was it friends was it reverends was a church? Was a prayer and even the terms well. Well, I think that all of the above Michel Talker Right writes about the fact that we went counselling. Pre presidency and, as was when the kids were small, and I think everybody was heads markets. That's always strain as much joy is they bring there is bad tension, especially if both spouses are welcome and during the White House. Look I give a lot accredit. My mother, my goes here. Miss Marian your sheep Michel be hot inertia upstairs
My mother louse live another look sweep and on the third floor Michelle a barren, I'm pretty sure She talked Michel bad, a couple to her friends. One thing with Michel, my boy tell younger couples who are going through rough patches. I think we were pretty good about the fact. Even when things were tough We never lost basic respect for the other person. We never thought that that person was a bad We never said things that would make it seem, as if all you just completely disrespect me it was more like. I love you brought, but this drive me crazy or on you know how much I respect you? But
So I think that is part of what kept us able to. To sort this out, because we never doubted each other's intentions and an hour. The basic fact it In my view, a Michel as she is a remarkable one. The original drive me crazy. Sometimes I never thought Then there was anybody who I would rather be what You're not being that you're, so even killed right. Did you ever take your frustrations from work home, don't ever do anything like puncher wall. What did you do when you got mad? You know I had there were times where I would have a party mouth and the oval office we heard someone and his mediocre results, which I appreciate, because while I go about things I think is important to be honest because part of what I said, to describe in the book is the White House, presidency argued
the leader of the free world is most powerful office. Honor. but is also a job the West Wing is also an office, and you're going to have some of the same frustrations and mistakes, doubts and mishaps as in any office in any job? Which also mean sometimes you gonna cost labelling because starts prostrate. Working out was important in. I would get good, though, those were godsend? Sometimes your dear friend as was also trainer corner, the ground with their. It would get the boxing gloves up. You seem to put his letter all the people in the White House, a UK too seriously a pic of game, those guys up a pass out. Didn't you now I had my weekend game, but with Reggie Luck right who, in on Reggie at that time, was prior, he just turn
it wasn't portion of July and so no wait we could we can play. We complain the white ass. We had, we had a regular game, Reggie had his crew and so we had regular basque more games. A lot of times, though, yeah. You were just try to the long view in dealing with frustrations of Mitch, Mcconnell and the Republicans were blackened something for no reason if they were playing games that actually had real consequences in terms of people being able to get healthcare or be able to get some relief. from unemployment or what have you why don't you just said them remind yourself that you were in a long term carpet and- and there were going, be ups and downs at any given time, but that if you kept your I'm all the ball sooner or later, you can prepare In the: u we can't chapter because you are frustrated with the costing me the softened for why
Folks benefit the blight truce about recent his country to use you still feel the need to do that after for years we witnessed why. Thank. we're all a little bit more, open unaware and when the things that I was really inspired by in the wake of tragedy. was the response after George Floyd's murdered, because what you saw was not only people about Walks of life and their protest- and it wasn't just black folks, But when you looked at appalling you, she saw a bad by a significant number. many more white Americans were wounded knowledge problems the criminal justice system based on race, We have to wait on them. Well biggest begot truth about. You know. What this comes down to is. How do you
build coalitions actually gets done, because truth of the matter is that in very few places our african Americans, a majority vote. Is just simple man? I saw him, Right where we're said right now in Washington DC, That would be the case, but there are not a lot of states. And a handful of cities where just the black boat delay. The power than to actually bring about cockroach. Now we are more Barack Obama, president, Och Obama, we come back as the breakfast closer due warning, everybody's d, J Envy, Angela YE shall meet a guy. We oughta breakfast club would get Mona, interviewer Barack Obama on its model of the king day
locomotive having people want to know why? What did you do specifically for black people, not the rising timeless all boats types are rhetoric. We all know blackened with bull got a whole and soda systemic thing. That would then the bloody would have put us in these, but this is specific ceased. The things to get us out so well MA am about what I'm doing what what what I'm Saint Germain is by poverty drop faster than anybody else. Bag comes, went up more than one other folks, so The issue is sometimes we just go, run advertising that, because once again. The goal here is to build coalitions where everybody is getting something so they all feel like they ve got a stake. A lot of my policies were targeted towards people most in need. Those folks are proportionally african American, that there are some things that for example,
as having a civil rights division in the Justice Department, but actually. Seriously civil rights and caused consent. Decrees on places like Ferguson and yards sentencing guidelines so that we didn't max out on sentencing for all nonviolent drug offences, but she, the incentives for the prosecutors or judge about by how long a since you got, but did you get a proportional sense? Was it affair since those kinds of changes that we made. That's why I say There is a reason why the federal in population dropped the way. At the same time, the crime also dropped so, we were able to show that you and have a smart strategy? in terms of reduced grab without expanding incarceration, but the
the truth of the matter is: shall men and edit At the end of the day,. There is no way in eight years to make up for two hundred years. Absolute and the question is constantly. How are you going to. the way I have been describing it because it's very much. I understand the presidency now you're like a relay runner In our view, your gun, the baton from somebody else, and all you can do is run your stage of the race you, pass random experts and on either side both through you got there. from and who you are passing a too They may not have the same priorities that you do you You know that you're not going to get everything done, that you need to get done. But why you gotta do is is
do your best to get as much as possible, and I think that's what we did when you say that your intention with this book lesson Spain to people also how difficult it was for you to get things past. people to see what you did do because, like you said The book allotted time does not your policies in what you do is more what you say and the feeling People have and that's what they pay attention to sell. Absolutely look. Let's take something like the recovery. So I walk in there. login we're losing eight hundred thousand jobs a month. The economy is actually contracting faster than it did during the great pressure, and six months later, the economy was grown again. I m we had cannot stop the threefold But if you're somebody who had lost your job at that point, I lost your house. You not feel good
and we couldn't go run say look what a pat ourselves on the back and look at what a great job we did, because people are still heard mapper our hope. If somebody reads this they come to recognise it. want to bring about systemic change. There are, bunch of different pressure points that we have to apply its, not just the presidency. So I write extensively by the fact that. I have a lot of powers president and the most powerful person as president, but I still need a congress I still need to make sure that we have a majority in the House of Representatives goes by boat. I can't get any single law passed if Want to change something on criminal justice reform. It turns out that Federal government is naturally in charge of most criminal law most criminal. Was made at the state level. And determined by state prosecutor's most police departments
Our government has done the do with that's that and by the mayor in that city, whether their power secure did when they do somethin wrong. That's up to her. States turn your deserter turning a matter so. when we think about politics, it is a mistake. For us to say: ok once I'm voting for present and I hope people dont repeated, state would burn and Kamel Harris. Right now we ve got to it's in Georgia come up. If Republicans those two seats, then, Joe Biden, commerce will not be able to get any law passed that Ms Mcconnell The Republicans are wont to go along with what you gonna do. A better job of letting people know a I wanted to do a lot more for people especially blackened. Would I couldn't commit mechanical
Lock me everything you got will thus world the burglars. Why don't you worry us all, and while she and I believe that these interviews dogma, here's some people, listen to you exit about Georgia, where wine, I see they are giving him issues about his alliance with Jeremy arise, the same kind of stuff and you'll tell him. He should ask that back and denounce him at this point. No logic. First of all, It is a losing game at this stage to just go chasen crazy commentary. there's something you have to answer aggressively, but you can't obsess over them or not is is doing a great job. If him? I'm gonna, be emphasising what positively gonna do on behalf of the people of Georgia that, as opposed to just try it,
play defence against a bunch of crazy stuff. It's comin out there, but but listen it's hard winnings. order dislike it's hard, winning in Iowa the laggards hard women in a lot of a country and one thing I think that I hope the It also reminds us of how, some of us who live in do you see or New York, or allay Sometimes we do not have a job, a good sense of how big this it really is, and how a lot of folks do not accept, at all things we, who are living in urban much bomb areas just take for granted office ok manner? are you got the big chance in the country even in our own communities? Right amends
So I deeply believe that people should be treated equally. Law, regardless of sexual orientation outside you talked about animal, but we all you know I mean, I think, big chunks of our community whereabouts Controversial people were prized about allow of hispanic folks who voted for top The Lahti Evangelical Hispanics who yo the fact Rob, says racist things by Mexicans or puts detainees, undocumented workers in cages. They That's less important than the fact that now he said, Their views on you're, gay marriage or abortion it's hard to believe when you say this opinion get away, the government is re right. You talk about
if you look at these big businesses and in any look at their taxes, and they don't pay taxes at all, look at somebody who is just gettin by pain as much tax as possible, and you look for instance, the pandemic task force at your created in when you see Trump coming off his any shuts down, and you think yourself down that test. worse still around with so many people are in debt, is being killed. Will we be able to save labs. We would have saved some locks. Here. Has one simple statistic: Canada right right next door, their death rate is, Forty percent of what hours per capita so for every one hundred a man can that have died. Only forty Canadians of that amount just a matter of their government making better decisions so that the question now is that you still had seventy billion people voting for a government that.
I would say objectively, has failed miserably in handling this basic. Looking after the american people and keep them safe. Why, as well, part of it is because turns out, politics is not just about. Policy is not just about numbers. Is the stories that had better be gentle and that story with their hearing from Fox NEWS and rush limbo, and it all in some cases inside their churches. Is that democratic don't believe in Christmas season, ill We care about minorities like folks and are trying to Take your stuff DR update, your guns away and right there's a whole story, that's being told to them almost and people and feeling, as if you know what we are under attack there.
What's always interesting to me, As the degree to which We ve created you ve, seen created an republican politics. The sense White males are victims, they're, the ones who were like under attack, which obviously doesn't job with both hands, and data and economics, but that's a sincere belief, been internalize, that's a story that being told him and how you one why that is gonna, be not something the is done right away? It's gonna take some time now we have more Barack Obama. President, Above all, we come back as the breakfast locomotives DJ envy, Angela Ye Charlemagne guy, we oughta breakfast club. Let's get into our interview with President Barack Obama. Is the breakfast logo more some rumours in this book treatment. We have different cause. You know I had Adam like EM issues,
we're catering to white raises all at times. I wonder how different would the dim strategy be if we lived in a one man one? society with no electoral out. I think that would help us a simple example like the Senate, so Why army, which is half a million people. As the same number, senators as California, with thirty three million, be right. So what that means. Is that the? U S Senate is usually skew too. Some of these lower pop nation more whirl much other states, then the big coastal states and that's it that's a big difference in terms of getting stuff done. so that the bottom line is that you are
Democracy is imperfect,. changing that is going who take. a lot of effort because you gotta get over the hump either even just to secure our voting rights, one of the things that ill is still at stake. A Georgia is if we control the Senate than it is at least theoretically possible. The past voting rights bill That stop some of those border suppression and intimidation that you're still seeing around the country and that Republicans had been pretty blame about the same like we reduce road traffic, prevent them from But getting to the electoral college getting to the way that the the? U S senator skewed. That would require us also potentially admitting Washington Dc Import Rico in us.
Eight so that which has its politics. Would it would mean a bad habit states change, how do their electoral counts, I think the constitution is outdated. Loyalty thence they gotta get rid of their language and waited this diverse. The country is also more and at the table when they wrote the constitution, Europe, constitutional law, you that we gotta get out well, but there is a way to change it. It's called amending the constitution. The problem is that. In order to do that, we have to have such an increase in. Awareness and activism So there is a mechanism to amend the constitution, but you just have to get everybody in view. Old and focused in it and This is part of the reason Seventeen may about how a man as along book
Michel's was so much shorter Four times where I was did to ignore. Let me just leave out this explanation that explanation cause folks. They're, not gonna. Yes, I want to read all that. but parliament I want to do is just say man. This is the stuff that we ve got to know if we really want to changed like you have to know about the filibuster in the Senate, right. So this is a rule that wasn't even in the constitution, as a rule that the Senate adopted That says you have to Sixty votes to pass legislation yet have a super majority. even more empowers those little states right, because now they don't even meet there. We even need fifty. Animals. They dismayed Forty one to basically block
thing from getting through the. So that's what happened to me in my first two years was: I was having to get to sixty. boats on everything which meant that, the number Sunday there that were basically representing twenty five percent of the country it'll power over anything, want to try to get them, but most people don't know that. Yours, if, if you try to explain to the average but the barbershop man that film us I just started when people talk for a long time, but I learned about it innovative and Alexander, but that thing is which, by the way headed The other thing that it was most used for was the blue civil rights legislation, an anti lit lynching legislation them in that thing is still operating it. We have to know how bad stuff works in order for us, If we really want the kind of changes your talking about. Where
taking away some of these barriers to everybody having there we heard in present about have to go back so glad you could have some rumors go. Congratulations! Eight hundred and ninety thousand sold in the first day, which is breaking all kinds of records, so it just shows the power they have got a low name on it. First of all, I think is because it was package. Michel body so no end, appreciate you guys. Are you talked about the black folks and an how babe talk about or thought about. My presidency, I will say, even if our lowest point. A model of loyalty, and folks have not back knowing that we going through some bill challenges. The pressure that we got, the now the blessings we received from our own
That is as much as anybody. What helped sustain us. It is something we never took for granted and we were always grateful soaks or what? What one last question, what do democratic, o black people specifically. ask me, after what we just did in this battle axe. Why look, and I think that Democrats and Republicans and America all white folks. The same thing that all people around, which is justice, in fairness, the differences that, for my folks, that Justice has been deferred and denied for too long or it's been half baked and in in Sofia? We ve never done a full reckoning. What was poor, the essential history and building of this country- and I
in concrete terms you, I don't wanna, overstate. What Joe and cobbler gonna be able to accomplish in this? congressional environment with that much resistance causes they're gonna, be in it position that was even its pride and tougher than the one that I came in. I can say, is: I think at the very minimum. Everything they put forward from jobs programmes to small business loan. to education, to college at issues. they have to be mindful that they have an american movie put faith in them to hear them and understand What ordinary folks are going to everyday work? I'm trying to make it and that, they should be. Making a decision without knowing,
Alright, this is going to have an impact on on some of those struggles to make make people and their families a little more secure. A little bit better is not going to make things. Perfect But if a band of Joe Biden presidency and countless presently, he too can say what I was able to say, which is people's lives, are better at the end of the day. That's what you expect out abolished there the correct way to do it trumpeted, which is eyes like no Catering to his base you're doin, what he felt was best his his folks, their morally correctly to do to get more bought I mean the truth of the matter is actually Trump hasn't gotten lab his torn some stuff. Now he hasn't, There's no law that he's pass that is transformative in this country, it s task to give way some more money than to rich books, which I would have been doing that for years, but you, you can't name a piece
like these done, that actually change the country even for his own constituencies it's always easier to tear down them, build up, building up their requires boats and and that's why do not I will come on the show. Every time, if I hear folks say boating, doesn't matter. voting will not. It's not like when in the lottery you, don't you don't and then suddenly, everything is great. Nothing is more like it, Sure your car or iron in your car was it's part of that thing. You do to make stuff work. and its party, your responsibility and, as part of all of our responsibility, just to make sure that we don't see chaos of the sort we ve just seen over the last four years. I guess

In a community of second said, were marching and shouting- and I said you know we. Yes, there is an important role to play on outside Bang and down the door on bended knee trying to change the systems, but we also have to be inside the room where the decisions are being made and I ran for district attorney because I wanted to be the one who was making decisions about what we were gonna do with criminal justice policy and in fact I wrote a book back in two thousand and eight based on my belief about what we need to do to reform the criminal justice system and here's how I think about it: criminals this policy we have been offered a false choice: the choice suggesting that area, the soft on crime or your tough on crime, set of asking always smartphone right and by that I mean recognise. Using that you know, the public health model tells us view want to deal with a health epidemic. Smart asthma effective and cheapest way to deal with. It is prevention. First, if you doing within the emergency room or the prison system, it's too late and it's too expensive. So, let's be, on crime- and that means let's be smart-
in knowing that if we really want to have public safety, let's prevent crime from happening in the first place Which means focusing on community is that we now need more economic support, need more pathways to economic health and success. Doing what we need to do and recognise that there is a direct connection between public education and public safety, so less prioritize. Public education and and instead of just being only concerned about public safety, because there is a real connection is actually cheaper to focus on educating young people, then it is on incarcerating whole communities of people, We have one of the first thing I saw you. Do it out extremely impressed with it was the back on track programme as well What was that all about so back on track is a programme that I started years ago. I focused on. the eighteen, through twenty four year old young drug sales offender, and there is enough because on our populations go there just a lot of them and us
focused on our population, because whether we were at Hampton or Howard, we were in college were eighteen, three, twenty four and we were called college kids you turned eighteen and you're in the system, your concern, an adult period, regardless of fact that we know it? That's the very phase of life in which we have invested billions of dollars in this world in these places call colleges and universities knowing that that's the prime phases. Where you can mould somebody to be a productive and end. and at an accomplished adult and so I focused on their population also understanding that when they pick up that first offence, they be designated a fallen for life. And so what we did is essentially, I created a programme focused on them and basically getting job counselling allowed the young men are fathers getting them support for what they actually want to do, which is parent, their children, but may not have the skills or the resources we focused on.
What to do around housing and adjust wraparound and we ended up as a result, of doing that, and then, when they would graduate the programme dismiss their charges, What we also ended up doing is reducing their likelihood of re offending by a huge percentage. and that was a model of what ended up later by the Justice Department being designated as a model of of innovation and law enforcement in the country. With so many with drugs be illegal as essay marijuana be illegal. Ass is very different. States in a lot of these kids, like you said, are injured, For that same legalised crime. Now we need to declare my eyes. Marijuana we have a problem in mass incarceration, our country and, let's be cleared the way, or on drugs was a ailed war It was Miss directed the Inez, as you know, were now's now more people are understanding, only talk about the opium epidemic. That when you're talking about substance abuse, that's a public health matter does she He thought of his criminal justice matter.
And so what we need to do is recognise that we have to get people into treatment where that is appropriate, but as it relates to incarcerating people for marijuana, I think it is Long overdue that we recognise we need to change the system, Only about the Oakland days for minorities and black Panthers had an influence on you, and is this whole conversation we ve been having about how do we improve relations between police? The community patent is where an organisation that actually policed the police. You think that in an organization like that could exist now in twenty eighty, I think that, one of the greatest advances in the fight for civil rights has been the smartphone. People will come at me calmly. What all sudden is going on with all these cases of of police misconduct. What's going on
an applicant people as a unit. You sound like a colonist. You know when you call animal colonizing right right right now, but the point being you know what colonies? Do they go to a place? That's been existing that way for thousands of years and have their say in it for the first time they think they ve discovered. So the great thing about the smart has been that now It is undeniable. When it happens, there is evidence, sometimes Lange for us in real time. As we know, it is audio visual and it is highlighting- need to reform the criminal justice system about around recognising that we need to do a better job of training police since around bias around use of force. around the necessity to de escalate the situation instead of using force as the first option. Though it is the only option and more people are now
involved in this discussion than ever before, because it is not just us was experiencing it Everyone is experiencing it, at least as in terms of seeing it happened, and I think this is the as part of what has has led to the reform There are starting to take place, but there's a lot more on the pen. I remember one of the biggest our contributions that the path is made their breakfast programme of through their feet in the community and protecting. In that way, we are more was said in a couple hours when we come back, don't move is to breakfast club component sporting. Everybody is dj envy Angela Ye Charlemagne ago, we are the breakfast club. We have common Harris in the building. Let's talk about these schools and he shootings. I mean it's scary. Well, first of all you know, we have many many communities where arts, since seven year olds are going to sleep at night hearing gunfire. Absolutely they are
spiriting, they such trauma that is undiagnosed and untreated. Babies of our community, who have regularly attended funerals. of somebody who was killed as a result of gun violence. Having family members. It may have even happened in front of them So we have enough trauma in our community We need to deal with without expecting that Second, greater is gonna, now go to school and look up in the front of the class, their teacher and she's strap in a gun or I make any sense homeward. talking about school safety, things that we need to address that include. thinking about. Why is this an issue in part of it is that we have not passed meaningful smell Gun safety laws in this country let's talk about that. Let's talk about how the inner re has grown People by that,
the second element of ethical and and and health as cause people to have a lack of courage to address them. Again another false twice. I am in favour of the second amendment and I also monk thou must mark. safety laws, assault webpage and be walk in the streets of a civilised country. We should have universal background check it. May since issues practical that you might want to know before someone can buy gun that they ve been found by a court to be mental and stable you'd. Just my one. Another that smart, The missing in greeting to get something done, for Congress to have the courage to act by line and that's where I would say: okay, so then, what can we as people who want to encourage Congress to act? Do what can we do? on twenty eight June elections, but
focus on electing people who will have the courage, and getting rid of people who don't. You know you Odessa, you know when when we everybody followed, the police shootings happening, Barack Obama was in office. Why didn't he have the courage to act and implement something the where police What's all gone, oh! Well, I think that here, one of his big regrets that he was not able to get smart on safety laws in terms of the reforms, listen Eric holder. Is appointed by Barack Obama to be the? U S attorney general and and and the United States criminal justice under Obama did some really good work? They started opening, pattern in practice, investigations investigating various police departments around the country who have pattern and practice of racial discrimination and excessive force, and you, What's going on now under this guy justice,
even on his ass by air, there an underhand their cause. seeing those pattern and practice investigations, the previous administration, there were consent. Decrees where there had been a finding a misconduct? The court kicked in and said you to act. The certainly we're gonna watch that there are certain down all of those. Their reviving the war on drugs. Their reviving mandatory minimum sentences and You know again, that's why we have got to be vigilant at this moment in time, because we are, looking at added administration, that is rolling back the clock and profound profound way, Why is Jeff sessions? Doing that, though, like is it? Is it really just Donald Trump trying to erase everything Barack Obama Dead, or is that what they really really want like they want to take? Take us back with, so to speak,
listen. I think this has been on Jeff sessions agenda for a very long time. Don't forget. Coretta Scott King spoke out against Jeff session. When he was up years and years and years ago, for an appointment. This is part of who he is. This is his history This is his mission. He is Silently and maybe not so silently carrying it out right before us, why aren't you afraid we gotta get them to speak? Not only among our here on our friend I'm lying, because we have to speak truth now, gentlemen, we have to speak truth. You know this is a moment in time, is actually requiring all of us, ourselves about, whether we have the courage to to speak and to speak to you. No matter how uncomfortable and make some people feel. no matter how much it may visit upon us criticism or expire. Thus to attacks, got to speak truth. We ve got to speak truth about.
What is happening with this administration? All Because, as leaders, the people now No, they know in their hearts. They know intuitively instinctively that things are wrong and we need put the label on and when we see what is actually happening from the inside, and so that's part, why do it because I believe that People have a right to know what their government is doing for them and to them, and you know come what may in terms of any response. Are we our country back in order to adjust seems like ever since from came off. It seemed legacies bitter but a racism going on and it seems like it. It's hurting it's more than anything else out there so I travel around the country and I will tell you that I'm not buying the suggestion that we are divided as a country, and here why you say that you know when you,
wake up in the middle of the night. With that thought has been weighing on, you may be seen as some people caught the witching hour, three o clock in the morning when you wake up in a closely with that thing. That's been worrying It is never through the lands of the poor. With which your registered to vote or the demographic opposed to put you in and for vast majority of us, That has to do with one of just a very few. Things are personal health, of our children, our parents and I get a job, keep a job here, the bills by the end of the month, so many of our students can I pay off their student. Can they be able to student loans? The vast majority of us have so much more in common than what separates us and we. not to hold on to that in this fight right now and then look to twenty eight. Team frankly, and the elections that are coming up in almost two hundred days as an but Tunisia ACT. What I love about this moment. this administration and power is people are acting back to the women's March,
to the march, far lie Resigns Also, this administration is putting forward policies that At least they science should not be the very basis of public policy, which is ridiculous, but people are taken to the streets and away they never have, and In that way, our democracy is working now we just gotta, take to the streets and then walked those streets to the polling place an vote. They used to say we couldn't vote Thirdly, we weren't allowed to vote. Now they say we want. We need get out involved because voting Us voting is connected to every one of the other issues. us voting- is connected to her gonna, be in office and how they think about criminal justice policy. who's gonna be office and pay attention to something like that? that, though the rate of black babies and infant mortality, who's gonna,
pay attention to the fact that young black men, art art, are still the bottom of the economic ladder in terms of opportunity, much less success in economic help, who's in office is going to make a difference. I we are more was said in a calm allows when we come back, don't move as the breathless club component, the breakfast back the world's most dangerous morning. Everybody is the J envy. Angela ye shall remain a guy. We oughta breakfast club is what led the king day we gotta get back out interview with common. Ah, here, as this was the first time that she actually stop through our right, don't move is a breakfast locomotive. We have sent a camel. Hair is still in a building Charlemagne.

Can you can like both right? I love music. let me call you the female, Barack Obama, that's what I've seen but when I got only name runaway that now are you are you considering into order see yourself. Possibly one of president is that in your right now, just focused almost in front of me in I've seen too many people focus on that thing out there and they trip over the thing right in front of two thousand. between eighteen, twenty eight- and I was just in Detroit last weekend- campaigning and talking to folks about the need to get out vote
I'll be all of this all over many states, I'm going to be in Chicago, I'm going to be in Wisconsin I'll, be in Florida, probably go to Philly. We really have. Look what happened in Alabama. Everybody should really see and remember what happened just in a recent election where Doug Jones A white Democrat them is that a white Democrat one in the south because of black women so arm, really matters when we get out it was over.

Let you know, Also to your point, when you argue some people would suggest that pure emotion and that, if you're getting in an argument with somebody, you just emotional and unreasonable what they teaches. You know it's actually quite civilized disdain up in disagree with some one, and there are rules about how you do it because that is what is done among thinking people, you do debate, I mean you can go back to history in different forms, a debate, the dozens nurse.
