Speaker 1: Welcome.
Speaker 2: Ah, all right, it's time for our critical thinking exercise
Speaker 2: of the week, and this week's critical thinking exercise.
Speaker 1: Is why do we question.
Speaker 3: Mom?
Speaker 4: Donnie?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 4: You know what that was for our ancestors, Isabelle. Isabel
Speaker 4: requested the air horn for our ancestors. So our question
Speaker 4: is why do we question mom Donnie?
Speaker 1: So first I.
Speaker 4: Want to just show you all a video and then
Speaker 4: we're going to have a conversation.
Speaker 5: Prats win the mid terms? Do you want to see
Speaker 5: Leader Jeffries become the Speaker of the House. Okay, that
Speaker 5: was a firm quick answer, so you leave plenty of
Speaker 5: time for my final answer.
Speaker 3: Look for.
Speaker 5: Terms, do you want to see Leader Jeffries become the
Speaker 5: Speaker of the House. Okay, that was a firm quick answer,
Speaker 5: so you leave plenty of time for my final answer.
Speaker 6: Look, what's good, y'all? What's good, y'all? It's your man's MC.
Speaker 4: Checker hole, and I'm here to talk about zorron.
Speaker 1: Mom Donald's zorn.
Speaker 4: Mom Donnie is out here and y'all are really feeling
Speaker 4: some type of way about folks asking questions, So we
Speaker 4: gotta talk about this.
Speaker 1: You feel me because your man's is give me.
Speaker 4: Your man's is a politician, so he's gonna be questioned.
Speaker 1: So let's start with that. But first and.
Speaker 4: Foremost, hold on, hold on, hold on, let me get
Speaker 4: this right. Let me get this right. So we're gonna
Speaker 4: start with that. But I also gotta take us into
Speaker 4: a whole other realm. I so I want you to
Speaker 4: walk with me while we get into this. First, let's
Speaker 4: keep it a buck. Many of youall do not pay
Speaker 4: no attention to your candidates.
Speaker 1: I let's just let's just we let's let's.
Speaker 4: Keep it one thousand yall. You not doing research on candidates,
Speaker 4: Like all you seeing is little clips and whatnot. You
Speaker 4: just basically like, yo, dude, look cool. I like, buddy,
Speaker 4: that's it. So one things are being said by other
Speaker 4: folks who pay attention, you like, come.
Speaker 7: On, why is he doing?
Speaker 2: Why you doing that?
Speaker 4: But you're not even paying attention to the fact that
Speaker 4: you don't even be paying attention. So it makes sense
Speaker 4: to me, I if I don't pay attention, then I
Speaker 4: should probably listen to those who do be paying attention
Speaker 4: because I'm incapable of identifying a shift of direction or consistency.
Speaker 1: Because that's really what it. Okay, let's put it in
Speaker 1: terms of dating.
Speaker 4: Since all of y'all be doing the dating thing like that,
Speaker 4: i'd I so let's let let let's let's do this.
Speaker 4: So boom when you hollering at somebody right like if I'm.
Speaker 1: Hollering at you, I'm trying.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to show you like what I'm about me,
Speaker 4: like I'm campaigning for the spot, so I gotta come
Speaker 4: through and I gotta put it out there like what
Speaker 4: I'm about, Like, yo, I don't play about my daughter.
Speaker 4: I'm all about supporting women. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 4: Like it's definitely like it's dumb easy to defend women.
Speaker 4: I'm all about making sure that the immigrants in my
Speaker 4: community is not getting ramp up in ice like you
Speaker 4: gonna know this about me. I'm also very much about
Speaker 4: making sure that I'm considerate, that I'm thoughtful, that I'm considering,
Speaker 4: continuing to expand.
Speaker 1: My emotional knowledge and intelligence.
Speaker 4: This is my platforms that I'm campaigning on for Shorty.
Speaker 4: I Shorty rock with me because I rock like this.
Speaker 4: This is what politicians is doing right like they campaigning
Speaker 4: like yours, Shorty's the constituency. Shorty stituencies rock with me
Speaker 4: because I rock like this.
Speaker 1: Boom. So now shorty like, oh.
Speaker 4: I see what he on, I see what he on,
Speaker 4: I see what he on. And so she's gonna rock
Speaker 4: with me. But if I start switching up, she gotta
Speaker 4: flag me. Be she gotta flag me, because if I
Speaker 4: start switching up, you gotta look at that as one
Speaker 4: of two things. That's that's one of two things. Either
Speaker 4: I wasn't really on it or something has got me
Speaker 4: off it right right, and either way, it's gotta be addressed.
Speaker 4: So when you seeing folks feel some type of way
Speaker 4: about mom Donnelly, I know his name is Mam Donnie,
Speaker 4: but I feel like I want to add other flavors
Speaker 4: with it. When I you know, I'm saying like, I
Speaker 4: don't know, there's just something about like I be wanting
Speaker 4: to add other elements, Madnacles, you know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 4: it's just something about that I'm not really sure.
Speaker 1: But dude, I'm not trying to disrespect dude.
Speaker 4: It's just I'd be liking to add a little flavor
Speaker 4: to my work, to my food and to names and whatnot.
Speaker 4: But let me get back to the basics here. So
Speaker 4: let's get to the basics, which is the campaign. You
Speaker 4: miss campaigned on a number of things, all right, he
Speaker 4: campaigned on Yo, I ain't about them zios.
Speaker 1: But then he.
Speaker 4: Flipped and said, not only am I gonna keep Shorty
Speaker 4: Jessica tish being ahead of the popos, she's the upper
Speaker 4: case twelve.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say she gonna do a good job.
Speaker 4: It's like, why you why, why you gotta add all
Speaker 4: the extra jazz, Why you gotta add all the extra
Speaker 4: ravel dazzle? Just say, yo, I'm gonna let Shorty rock.
Speaker 4: We'll see how it goes. That had folks look at sideways.
Speaker 1: You means was like, yo, I'm not with the genal side.
Speaker 1: I don't like it. It's quite as wow. But then
Speaker 1: you miss was that out here about all into.
Speaker 4: Fotles ain't the language. So it's like these types of
Speaker 4: things got folks being like, yo, what's really good with dudes?
Speaker 4: And I'm trying to get you all to notice because
Speaker 4: a lot of y'all don't know nothing about this, and
Speaker 4: so it looks confusing to you. You like, yo, y'all
Speaker 4: just picking on Son, But Noah, it's not that. It's
Speaker 4: that you picking and choosing what you're knowing about Son
Speaker 4: and so you can't even see when son is really
Speaker 4: eclips and.
Speaker 1: Speaking of clips, so.
Speaker 4: Your means also campaigns on I'm gonna get your free buses,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna get you grocery stores, I'm gonna get you
Speaker 4: all these types of things.
Speaker 1: In in the in in in.
Speaker 4: The city, right right right right, all right. So here
Speaker 4: he is talking about this on the Majority report.
Speaker 3: Check it out, and even in the conversation around you know,
Speaker 3: the question of primary challenges, and you know, much of
Speaker 3: this I would say is typically private within DSA, but
Speaker 3: everything I've said has been reported publicly, so I might
Speaker 3: as well just think about it to you directly. Is
Speaker 3: you know I went to the endorsement forum that was
Speaker 3: considering whether or not to endorse be in that primary challenge,
Speaker 3: and what I said there is that this is not
Speaker 3: a question of the ballot box of who you would
Speaker 3: rather vote for. This is a question of how you
Speaker 3: want to spend the next year. Do you want to
Speaker 3: spend the next year fulfilling the agenda at the heart
Speaker 3: of this movement or do you want to spend it
Speaker 3: defending the caricatures of that movement?
Speaker 4: So real quick, I just want to pop in ray
Speaker 4: what he's saying is do you want to spend the
Speaker 4: year doing the things that the movement talked about, like
Speaker 4: the buses and whatnot, or do you want to spend
Speaker 4: the year defend in folks like Gio Say, who supposed
Speaker 4: who's the part of the Essay.
Speaker 1: Movement, who was riding with buddy.
Speaker 4: But then when it was time for Dosa to say,
Speaker 4: for Chosay to say, oh, I'm trying to primary Hakim Jeffries,
Speaker 4: who is the representative of his district, your man's mom
Speaker 4: Donnie said, nah, chill. So that's what he's talking about
Speaker 4: right here, he said, nah, chill, chill, because he's saying
Speaker 4: it's more important to just let buddy Hakm Jeffries rock
Speaker 4: because that's gonna get the buses free, versus chose being
Speaker 4: in there let him keep talking.
Speaker 3: And the decision that I made, and the one that
Speaker 3: I shared with with other members that night as they
Speaker 3: were considering how to participate in that democratic process, is
Speaker 3: to maximize every chance we have to fulfill the promises
Speaker 3: we made door after door, call after call with any
Speaker 3: New Yorkers who had otherwise lost faith in politics years ago,
Speaker 3: so that we can tell them that success isn't just
Speaker 3: measured in the election we've already had, but also in
Speaker 3: our fulfillment of the agenda at the heart of that election.
Speaker 3: And I, oh sorry, and I was just gonna say
Speaker 3: that I don't ever presume that everyone will come to
Speaker 3: the same conclusion as me. I don't think that.
Speaker 4: I So this is where you start to see folks
Speaker 4: be like yo, because now he's like doubling down on
Speaker 4: the joint right, and now he's talking about the strategies
Speaker 4: for why he.
Speaker 1: Said hell to his means.
Speaker 4: The thing about it is that his strategy includes working
Speaker 4: with Hakm Jeffries, who we know is an a pack
Speaker 4: who ain't done nothing for nobody but a pat And
Speaker 4: if you don't know who Haquen Jeffries is, like, I
Speaker 4: think this is.
Speaker 1: A real good framing of your means.
Speaker 4: Gonna stand together Israel today is real, tomorrow, Israel forever,
Speaker 4: God bless you.
Speaker 7: And I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever.
Speaker 1: Like if you free up.
Speaker 4: In speech from George Wallace, who was a violent segregationist
Speaker 4: in a speech at a pro Zio Riley, I'm looking
Speaker 4: at you crazy, So let me break it down real quick.
Speaker 4: One of my folks on ig. He's said in my comments,
Speaker 4: I hope without a.
Speaker 1: Plan is just a wish.
Speaker 4: A hope without a plan is just a wish.
Speaker 1: I say, Yo, that's dumb, fem It is.
Speaker 4: Because it's not that Mom Donnie don't got a plan.
Speaker 1: It's that the plan he's speaking of, it's not new.
Speaker 1: It's proven to simply not work. It don't work. Your
Speaker 1: man is here talking about keeping ha Kem in the
Speaker 1: splot so.
Speaker 4: That he could work with him to try and get
Speaker 4: the ball across the line for the buses and whatnot.
Speaker 4: But this supposes, this presupposes that you're dealing with practical
Speaker 4: people fail and individuals.
Speaker 1: That can be like reasoned with.
Speaker 4: Have you seen the way these people are like they
Speaker 4: can't be reason with. It suggests that you can build
Speaker 4: coalition with genociders and genocidal supporters. These folks don't even
Speaker 4: see Mom donacals as a Musli as a human. He's
Speaker 4: Muslim Aslama like them. This process, this thought process.
Speaker 1: Is not new fans.
Speaker 4: This is the same joint that slowed down the abolitionist movement.
Speaker 4: Because do you have white folks being like, yo, chill,
Speaker 4: we gonna get the what we're gonna get the slave
Speaker 4: owners to see that this is not this is shameful.
Speaker 1: They gonna feel bad.
Speaker 4: They gonna they're gonna end slavery because they feel bad.
Speaker 1: Nah. Nah.
Speaker 4: This is the same joint that had doctor Martin Luther
Speaker 4: King Jr.
Speaker 1: Like, Yo, like we maying that that gift from the wire.
Speaker 4: He was like, bro, I thought, I thought we didn't
Speaker 4: have rights because they just didn't know. We was fly
Speaker 4: and flavorful and we was peaceful. I didn't know we
Speaker 4: didn't have rights because these folks really just didn't like us. Yeah,
Speaker 4: the burning house be we still in.
Speaker 1: It and we don't even got health care.
Speaker 4: Now folks will look at Mount Donald's and be like, yo, Mam,
Speaker 4: Donnie is a pragmatist.
Speaker 1: He's thinking rational.
Speaker 4: But that's reformists and politician talk for Yo, don't shake
Speaker 4: it up, because then we're gonna lose everything. And they
Speaker 4: mean they gonna lose their positioning. It's actually the opposite.
Speaker 4: It is actually irrational and illogical and impractical to continue
Speaker 4: to keep doing the same behaviors even though you've already
Speaker 4: seen the outcome. And for the record, it's not like
Speaker 4: Buddy is saying his approach will be different. I it's
Speaker 4: not like he's like, yeah, remember when they did that before.
Speaker 4: This is what they got wrong. Remember when they did
Speaker 4: that before. This is what they got wrong. This is
Speaker 4: how I'm gonna do it. And they ain't keeping that
Speaker 4: to himself. I don't know, but I think a lot
Speaker 4: of y'all think these cats is way smarter than they
Speaker 4: really are. Like, I think a lot of y'all be
Speaker 4: thinking that politicians is playing.
Speaker 1: Five D chess.
Speaker 4: Nah, they talking with their five D chessticles a lot
Speaker 4: of times like they just not they It don't take
Speaker 4: being like some intellectual avant to.
Speaker 1: Be up in that splot. It's the same.
Speaker 4: It's charisma, it's money, it's audacity. So when you wonder
Speaker 4: around why we questioning mom Donnie, it's because right now
Speaker 4: he looking a lot like trust me, bro, he looking
Speaker 4: like it's a lot of wishes. The plan is one
Speaker 4: that's already been proven to not function, to not beget results.
Speaker 4: So to continue to say that's your plan, that says
Speaker 4: to me, you don't got no plan.
Speaker 1: It's very trust me, bro, Just trust me, Bro.
Speaker 4: Well, I gotta tell you that trust has not been earned.
Speaker 4: And it's not bosh, No, it's not personal it's not personal.
Speaker 1: The distrust is political and for the record, it's what
Speaker 1: keeps us safe and it was gonna keep them on.
Speaker 1: They toes she Man's MC checkerhole. I'm out.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go hang out with my daughter and talk
Speaker 4: about absolutely none of.
Speaker 6: This has.
Speaker 7: Okay.
Speaker 1: Hold on, change this background.
Speaker 7: A man. No, no, no, not fine.
Speaker 4: The Ye
