You all before then
Steve primaries to you too
Ainsley. Merry Christmas,
black lives matter, demanding a
seat at the table after being
egg more by team Biden for more
than thirty days
in a petition, the group writes,
quote black voters, give and give
to this country and deserve a
voice in the decision making
process. The progress of this
future administration
here to react is host of the
podcast. Rob Smith is
problematic, Rob Smith himself,
hey rob
hey! How are you doing
thanks for having me on on a
problematic Tuesday,
Ainsley all right,
whats, your reaction to this?
They are saying they are being
ignored by the Biden,
administration or team right now,
and they want their voices
heard
they are being ignored
because they were used by the
Biden, team and campaign
throughout this entire election
season.
Look. We have been having this
conversation for months on end
and everybody knew and a lot of
black conservatives like me have
been saying that as soon as they
got what they wanted. In this
case, Joe Biden, apparently
looking to enter the White House
in January that the black lives
matter protests and all of this
stuff, they would just forget
about it
and thats what has happened
so they have been used.
They are starting to realize
that they have been used, and
that is why they are going
public. With this
now remember, on election night,
black lives matter tweeted or
the day after the election. They
tweeted their symbol with the
fist and literally said we won,
so they thought that Joe Biden
getting into the White House
means that they won,
but what it really means is that
they have been used over and
over again, just like
african american voters have
been used in the past.
They made them afraid
they. You know, they pushed out
stories of racism and all of
this stuff that werent entirely
true,
and they use this in order to
get black votes
and what they are getting now is
not a seat at the table.
What theyre getting now is
ignored because they have been
used
Ainsley. So in another issue,
black lives matter DC activists.
They are complaining.
They are calling to defund the
police,
but then they are complaining,
because the Metropolitan Police
Department in Washington is not
protecting them.
Listen to this
black lives matter defeat,
nouns failure of d dot, C government,
both the mayor and her police
department, under the leadership
of the failed outgoing police
chief to protect our rights of
d, DOT, C residents,
inaudible defund Mpd,
because Mpd dont keep us safe,
rob your reaction.
I dont know what it was that
I just saw
just a lot of Gobblably Gook
coming from that guys mouth,
but look. It really does boggle
the mind and makes no sense.
They wrote they had a huge
defund. The police mural right by
the black lives matter, mural in
D, dot c.
What it boils down to is like a
lot of stuff. We have been
seeing
always rules for thee and not
for me.
They wants to defund the police,
because it sounds great when
theyre giving speeches and when
they are trying to raise money
or do whatever
when they need the actual law
enforcement, its apparently not
there.
It just makes no sense.
It just is confusing to me
im sure its confusing to them,
and what we are really seeing is
a disconnect between the people
that are out there doing the
work on the ground,
these black lives matter,
organizers and the larger
organizations that are really
not paying too much attention to
them and caring about them
have you got Biden, ignoring the
national organization?
You have Muriel Bowser and all
these people ignoring the local
organization.
At this point, like I said now
that they have been used for
their votes and they will be
used for their votes in twenty twenty two and
two thousand and twenty four. By the way
they are not getting anything
out of it.
Ainsley have you Biden and a
lot of democratic leaders saying
it is the wrong message.
Our constituents do not support
defunding the police.
Now these police departments
dont have the money to pay the
cops and then those very people
that didnt want them to have
all the money are now
complaining because they are not
getting protection,
its unbelievable
all right.
