WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.879 Okay, b La Talk fifteen eighty Good morning, Good morning, 2 00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:07.759 and God bless I'm Dominique Daprima. This show is called 3 00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:12.080 First Things First, and my first thing every day is prayer, given, thanksgiving, 4 00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:15.439 praises and asking for blessings from God, asking for the 5 00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:18.600 blessings of the ancestors and the elders. And let's go. 6 00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:21.519 We got a lot going on right now and a 7 00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:23.399 lot to talk about the way we do things on 8 00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:26.760 a Monday. We call them mindful Mondays because we're getting 9 00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:31.239 it together, putting our mentality in place for the week 10 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:34.719 to come. Our one we look local, Our two we 11 00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:37.479 go national, international, and beyond. But we kick off the 12 00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:41.679 hour with mindfulness with a guided meditation and affirmation and 13 00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:46.840 an astrological outlook at the hands of meditation instructor, yoga 14 00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:50.200 teacher and astrologer Sahara Ali. And then in the third 15 00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:52.679 hour we do a deep dive with a hot topic 16 00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:55.640 of person or person's of interest. We did our messy 17 00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:57.920 Monday early this month, but we're just going to keep 18 00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:01.320 it a little tiny bit messy. Dell Harrison joins me, 19 00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:06.000 or not or very very very unmessy. Comedian Del Harrison 20 00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:09.359 joins me. In studio and we're talking our topic, our 21 00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:13.079 three celibacy. A lot of people are choosing it, some 22 00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:18.760 are doing it involuntarily. We'll talk about it.

Who could it be? 33 00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:09.159 Some botifland all in nine, Miss Kathleen Best was Kevin 34 00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:13.919 thinking losing thirty nine was me? All of us were 35 00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:15.800 all of Nevins. 36 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.639 The Bosh is doing at the back of the nine 37 00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:28.439 smile beneath her nose every single day that you had 38 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:32.680 the bet. This is what she's saying, Stop this ship. 39 00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:41.199 She is the president of the International and Intergalactic Prince 40 00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:44.080 Fan Club. She's the director and co founder of Black 41 00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:49.439 Lives Matter Grassroots and the lead organizer of bl m LA. 42 00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:56.319 She's also a professor Cal State, LA, doctor Melina Abdullah. 43 00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.879 Yay, good morning, now I feel good. I hadn't played 44 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:03.680 Wake Up sawing it, but Miles did. 45 00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:09.159 Yes, indeed, and we didn't know he was talking about 46 00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:14.319 seven forty five in the morning. But happy Monday to you. 47 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.560 And it is a pretty happy Monday, right, I mean 48 00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:22.400 from an organizing perspective, let's start off happy not just 49 00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:26.120 with starfish and coffee, but time, place and manner. 50 00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:33.199 Yes, time, place and manner as the terrible restrictions that 51 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.039 Cal States and you see have been using for the 52 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:42.280 last two years to discipline and prosecute not only students 53 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:47.520 but mostly students, also faculty and community. So it essentially 54 00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:51.560 limits free speech on campuses. And I know you've had 55 00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:55.919 Angel Marie Taylor on Tiffany Willoughby herad at U see 56 00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:59.800 I they use time, place and manner restrictions to justify 57 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:06.199 her disciplinary action, disciplinary action against her, and we're saying 58 00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:10.039 that shouldn't be. You know that the the ucs and 59 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:15.080 csus and colleges throughout this country have always been spaces 60 00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:21.079 of free speech and protest, and that is often uncomfortable, 61 00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:24.600 but that's how we won black studies in the first place, 62 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:29.279 That's how we won voting rights, that's how we advocated 63 00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.720 for the end of apartheid in the Vietnam War and 64 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.319 the ushering in of Black power, and even Black History 65 00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:41.000 Month was founded as a result of activism on college campuses. 66 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.519 And so AB twenty five fifty one is a step 67 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:50.199 forward in advancing free speech on campus which is under threat. 68 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:54.519 And so thank you to everybody who called in. We 69 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:57.839 were able to get the bill advanced out of Senate 70 00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:02.560 appropriations and on the Senate floor, and so of course 71 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:07.160 this is the bill that was authored by South Central representative, 72 00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:11.959 South Central assembly woman herself a former student actor is 73 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.360 Shahd Alwarri. And we still have more fight ahead. We 74 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.360 have to get it past the Senate and past the 75 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:23.000 Assembly floor. How can we face some opposition. 76 00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:26.040 I mean, but they do say appropriations is where bills 77 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:28.519 go to die. So the fact that they've made it 78 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:30.759 out of appropriations is a big deal. I guess we 79 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:33.279 still have to keep the pressure on. I mean, really, 80 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:35.839 you know, for those of us who don't follow every 81 00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:39.160 bill and every committee, the fact of the matter is 82 00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:45.720 that somehow, over the past decade or more. We've allowed 83 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:52.399 universities to modify the right to assemble, the right to protest, 84 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:56.920 and that's unconstitutional. They have decided, yeah, you can protest, 85 00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:01.360 but only when, where and how. We say that's not protest, 86 00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.959 that's recess. 87 00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.519 That's right. So most campuses now have what they call 88 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:12.399 a free speech area, and you're allowed to be only 89 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:16.240 in that area. You're not allowed to use amplified sound 90 00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:21.079 like bullhorns in some We have cases on some campuses 91 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:25.240 where someone handed out a flyer on the grass instead 92 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:29.560 of on the pathway, and he was threatened. He was 93 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:34.839 pulled and threatened with disenrollment for simply handing out a 94 00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:39.800 flyer on unpaved area. We have people who've been disciplined 95 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:43.240 for putting flyers up on bulletin boards. We have a 96 00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:47.600 student at cal State Northridge who was convicted of felonies 97 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:53.040 for protesting against the ice raids. And so this is 98 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.160 stuff that we are not going to allow to happen, 99 00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:59.879 and we're going to advance free speech. Protest is not 100 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:01.879 meant to make everybody comfortable. 101 00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:05.240 It's meant to challenge, no doubt, And I do want 102 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:07.920 to say, I mean it's great that it's out a committee, 103 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.959 and of course you'll let us know when you know, 104 00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:15.000 when the next wave of calls and emails are needed. 105 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:19.040 I do want to say that it's really been wonderful 106 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:23.759 to watch assembly Member Shadel Hawai. You know, when she 107 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:28.800 was running, I you know, I wasn't one hundred percent sure, 108 00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:32.040 and then after talking to her for a number of 109 00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:36.120 different times, I went ahead and supported her. And I 110 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:39.399 feel like she has something I'm no longer allowed to 111 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:41.360 do apparently on the air. I can do it off 112 00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:46.079 the air, but she's really done an amazing job. So far, 113 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:48.920 so good. I'd say, Well. 114 00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:51.399 Let me say this. I was not a fan. I 115 00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:55.199 didn't like Shadai a worry I'm gonna I didn't dislike her, 116 00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.319 but you know, I felt like Boba Keeley was running 117 00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:01.639 for that district initially, and you know, of course I'm 118 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.399 going to rock with Baba Akilley and I'm going how 119 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:09.160 dare anybody run against Baba Killey? Right? Didn't know? 120 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:11.560 That's loyalty right there, That's yeah. 121 00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:15.639 I didn't know her, but let me I have grown 122 00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:21.160 to really respect her, and she was recently elected. Last week, 123 00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:24.399 she was elected chair of the Progressive Caucus. She is 124 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:28.079 one who is not backing down, and that's what we 125 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.120 want in our elected to remember, our job is not 126 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:33.320 even to I like her, So let me be straight. 127 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.480 I like her now, I like her a whole lot. 128 00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:35.759 Now. 129 00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:41.519 I talked to her around these issues often. But we 130 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:44.759 don't even have to like our elected If our electeds 131 00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:48.639 are willing to fight for us, that's what's important. And 132 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:51.120 she has been willing to fight, and she's fighting on 133 00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:54.440 this in a bunch of other issues, and so I 134 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.960 think that maybe at some point we could talk about 135 00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:01.240 what's happening inside the Democratic Party in California. We have 136 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:04.960 a super majority, but it's a fight between the corporate 137 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:08.600 own Dems, what they call the moderate Dems are the 138 00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:13.200 moderate caucus and the progressive Dems who are willing to fight. 139 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:19.279 And so we have to say, I'm sometimes dismayed by 140 00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:24.279 the fact we have a super majority Democratic legislature in California, 141 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:29.360 yet our legislature is very, very tentative to do anything 142 00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:30.960 that's actually progressive. 143 00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:35.000 Yeah, it's I mean, it's a fight that we're seeing 144 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:38.720 really all over the country, but in a way it 145 00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:44.159 seems ridiculous in California because we do have that super majority. 146 00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:49.159 Like in other places where democratic socialist candidates or progressive 147 00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:53.080 Dems who are not dssay are challenging these long time 148 00:09:54.679 --> 00:10:01.559 calcified corporate Dems. You know, it seems more right even 149 00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:04.399 New York, even though New York is considered a blue state. 150 00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:08.919 But Kelly, we have a super majority, and so the super. 151 00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:12.759 Majority that's not changing. It's not gonna not be blue 152 00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:13.639 right right. 153 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:17.960 And so the fact that the corporate dams or moderates 154 00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:22.039 here fights so hard to maintain their power and keep 155 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:25.480 out the progressive aspects of the party, to me, it's 156 00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:27.159 just kind of baffling. 157 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:32.960 It is baffling. It's baffling that you have Justin Pearson 158 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:39.279 in Tennessee, justin uh, what is it, John? What's justin 159 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:44.759 Justin Jones? Justin Jones and Justin Pearson out of Tennessee 160 00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:50.039 where they stay, physical assaults, they've been blocked from even 161 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.840 taking their seats sometimes, and they're willing to fight in Tennessee, right, 162 00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:58.840 But we don't have that same level of fight or 163 00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:02.960 more fight in California. And so when we have fighters 164 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.679 like Shahdee al Warri, we have to surround them and 165 00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:08.440 encourage them, and then we have to push the others 166 00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:11.240 along and say there's no reason that you have to 167 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:15.360 be a moderate Democrat. In a state like California, we 168 00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:19.960 can pass everything we want. We can pass Medicare for 169 00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:23.480 all or medical for all here in California. Why are 170 00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:26.000 we not passing universal health care? Why are we not 171 00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:29.480 passing a billionaire's tax? Why are we allowing there to 172 00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:34.159 even be conversation about voter restrictions in California, which is 173 00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:37.399 something we have to be aware of, you know. So 174 00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:43.159 let's encourage the progressive Dems and really grateful to Shade 175 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.559 all Warri for authoring AB twenty five point fifty one. 176 00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:48.799 And we'll all need to be called to action to 177 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:49.639 get it through. 178 00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:55.080 No doubt.

We have to remember when we 200 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:19.000 talk about that whistleblower and you know you've never ever 201 00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:22.639 heard me shout out a cup, but Daniel Flores did 202 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:28.480 the right thing and telling on the racism and sexism 203 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:34.120 and homophobia inside LAPD.

Every Wednesday. We protest outside 214 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:23.279 the District Attorney's office and Nathan Houtman continues to prove 215 00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:26.759 himself to be the devil that he is, and again 216 00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:31.759 he is choosing to prosecute Daniel flor as the whistleblower 217 00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:35.919 inside LAPD who told on them for the racism, sexism, 218 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:41.840 in homophobia. He's prosecuting him with sixteen felony counts up 219 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:45.799 to thirteen years in prison. He is not prosecuting the racists, 220 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:51.879 he's not prosecuting the sexist. He's not prosecuting people for 221 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:57.000 the hiring practices. He's not prosecuting the cops who killed 222 00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:01.120 Christopher DeAndre Mitchell or the cops who killed Glynn.

And then on Saturday at four pm 231 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:37.480 we are getting on the bus for Jaque Raven And 232 00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:40.279 I don't know if I haven't talked about him on 233 00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:46.440 the show, but Jacque is a young artist who is 234 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:50.399 killed on January twenty second of this year at a 235 00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:57.440 mall in Riverside, and San Bernardino County sheriffs came and 236 00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:01.000 shot this young man as he was running away from them, 237 00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:04.159 shot him in the back, shot him again after he 238 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:07.639 was down, handcuffed him after they killed him, and then 239 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:10.440 it's been trying to drag his name through the mud. 240 00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:16.720 Last week when his family was protesting, the sheriff through 241 00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:21.159 letters at them saying that they're going to be prosecuted 242 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:26.440 for protesting and that they're gonna find out who they 243 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:29.279 are and where they live because they have flot cameras 244 00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:32.960 and they're using the flat cameras to identify all the protesters. 245 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:36.720 So LA is going right for jaque On Saturday, you 246 00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:39.080 can get on the bus with us, we'll feed you 247 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:43.200 and we'll go out to Sam Bernardino and protest, or 248 00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:46.960 actually we're going to Riverside. We'll protest with the family 249 00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:49.440 for Jaquay. So we want everybody to do that. And 250 00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:55.320 then lastly, every Tuesday afternoon we protest for Brian Vostik 251 00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:58.279 at Inglewood City Council. So we want folks to come 252 00:16:58.279 --> 00:17:02.240 out to ingle Wood City Hall on Tuesday at two pm. 253 00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:05.799 So it's a busy week and we get purpose out 254 00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:09.279 of protesting, right, we don't have to let the world 255 00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:10.119 go the way it's going. 256 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:15.519 Yeah, just a few follow ups here before we run 257 00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:18.920 out of time for this half of the hour. When 258 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:25.839 you talk about when you talk about the meeting up 259 00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:30.960 to go and protest on behalf of Jaqua Raven, that's 260 00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:34.599 four pm.

So but we want 263 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:44.519 people to sign up because we're not just letting everybody 264 00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:45.319 on the bus. 265 00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.039 Right, I gotcha? So they sign it, don't want Where 266 00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:48.759 do they sign up? 267 00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:56.119 TinyURL dot com slash bus for jaque and jaque is 268 00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:02.279 j a q u e tiny u are com bus 269 00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:08.400 four all spelled out the us FO R jequa jaque. 270 00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:14.440 Imagine killing somebody's loved one and then throwing stuff at 271 00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:17.119 them because they're upset that you murdered their loved one. 272 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:22.640 It's mind boggling that human beings can behave in that manner. 273 00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:27.039 Human beings who also have loved ones, you would imagine, 274 00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:29.720 would understand that people would be upset when their loved 275 00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:36.279 ones were murdered. Unfathomable. And just to be clear, when 276 00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:40.680 you talk about the whistleblower, you're referring to the case 277 00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:47.240 where an LAPD officer recorded other officers who are supposed 278 00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:50.799 to be in charge of recruitment hundreds of recordings of 279 00:18:50.839 --> 00:18:57.200 them saying racist, sexist, homophobic, misogynistic things. Turn them over 280 00:18:57.400 --> 00:19:00.279 in hopes that those folks would be prosecuted, and intad 281 00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:05.720 our district attorney decided to prosecute the cop. And to me, 282 00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:08.839 this is a perfect example people who think it's just 283 00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:12.319 bad apples, which I'm not one of I think, you know, 284 00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:15.599 the whole system is the problem. But nevertheless, if you 285 00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:19.599 think that, and we wonder why the so called good 286 00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:23.440 cops are not doing the right thing. Case in point, 287 00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:25.960 I mean, here you go. The guy tries to turn in, 288 00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:30.279 you know, the people in charge of recruitment who are racist, 289 00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:34.079 sexist and misogynists, and he's facing thirteen years in jail, 290 00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:35.599 in prison. 291 00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:39.279 That's right, that's right. And what Nathan Hockman, because we 292 00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:41.680 got to put it on who does the buck stop 293 00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:45.839 with the buck stops with Nathan Hokman and the police chief. 294 00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:50.279 The police chief knew this was happening. The police chief 295 00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:56.839 has absolutely fostered and created an environment where rampant racism, sexism, 296 00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:01.559 and homophobia are the norm inside LAPD. And so Jim 297 00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:06.119 McDonald must go. But Nathan Hawkman, we also have to 298 00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:09.200 remember what it is he's trying to do. He is 299 00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:14.920 trying to not only harm Daniel Flores, harm the cop 300 00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:18.000 who dare tell on other cops. But what he's saying 301 00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:23.079 is if any cop doesn't respect the so called blue 302 00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:28.480 wall of silence, then they will be imprisoned. That is crazy, 303 00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:32.359 and that is so dangerous to Angelino. So we have 304 00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:34.920 to say, nah, it's not gonna go down like that. 305 00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:39.240 And you know, again, I don't shout out cops ever, 306 00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:42.519 but Daniel Flores did the right thing and we are 307 00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:45.720 appreciative of that act, and we have to say, no, 308 00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:48.920 that's not the cop that needs to be prosecuted. The 309 00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:51.400 cops that need to be prosecuted are the ones that 310 00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:55.400 kill our people and the ones who are racist, sexist, 311 00:20:55.440 --> 00:21:00.200 and homophobic and caught on tape for sure. 312 00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:04.400 Jerry Anderson's seven seven seven two says LAPD goes to 313 00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:08.720 the map protecting their killers. But this one's different. Yes, 314 00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:11.839 indeed it is, and I think that difference is oh 315 00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:15.160 so telling doctor Malina Abdullah is my guest. We've got news, traffic, 316 00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:18.079 and sports here and then more. You're invited in at 317 00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:21.640 eight hundred and nine to oh fifteen eighty. I'm Dominique 318 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:23.599 de Prima, and you know where you're at waking up 319 00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:27.599 with me. You're also waking up with doctor Malina Abdullah. 320 00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:29.440 If you got something to say, eight hundred and nine 321 00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:33.720 to oh fifteen eighty, or hop into the comments on 322 00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:40.279 YouTube at KBLA fifteen eighty. Quamel says, these police forces 323 00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:44.880 and unions want no serpicose, they want the double standard 324 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:53.079 squad and you know, it's it's it's not surprising to 325 00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:55.440 me that this goes on, but it is surprising to 326 00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:58.920 me that DA Nathan Hawkman would want to be so 327 00:21:59.079 --> 00:22:02.920 blatant about it. And I have been pleasantly surprised at 328 00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:06.079 the pushback that I'm seeing, not just from black media 329 00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:09.559 in this case, but even from some in the mainstream media, 330 00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:13.640 going what the what you know? You decided to prosecute 331 00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:20.160 who for what? Has the chief commented on this, doctor 332 00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:23.519 Malina Abdulah, because I haven't heard and I haven't seen anything. 333 00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:29.079 No, he has not, and he's justified it when it 334 00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:34.119 was raised inside the LA Police Commission meeting, he justified it. 335 00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:38.079 And we got to remember Daniel Flores tried to sound 336 00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:41.680 the alarm before he even started doing the recordings. The 337 00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:44.799 recordings are because they were like, you have no proof, 338 00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:48.920 and so he recorded in order to give the proof 339 00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:54.799 to the higher ups, to internal affairs, to the police Commission, 340 00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:58.160 and then he was prosecuted for doing what needed to 341 00:22:58.200 --> 00:23:02.839 be done. We also question why is Nathan Hockman prosecuted 342 00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:05.519 even if he was going to prosecute he had the 343 00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:10.000 he has absolute discretion to one either not prosecute, which 344 00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:14.519 he shouldn't have. He should have been prosecuting the hiring practices, 345 00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:18.359 those that were engaging in racism, right, why is he 346 00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:22.799 prosecuting in the first place. But also, you know, if 347 00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:25.160 you were going to prosecute in this case, why would 348 00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:29.440 you prosecute as a felony if you're not simply trying 349 00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:33.720 to show whose side you're on and trying to silence 350 00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:37.119 anybody who dares to speak out against racism with it. 351 00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:39.920 And what to be clear, what he's being, what the 352 00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:44.160 cop is being, the whistleblower prosecuted for, is because it's 353 00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:49.000 illegal to record someone without their knowledge, so priorities, you know, 354 00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:53.400 and the DA has made a big to do of saying, well, 355 00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:56.000 you know, we just can't go around recording people without 356 00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:59.599 their knowledge. Oh but it's okay to go around making 357 00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:03.599 sex this racist homophobic comments when you're in charge of 358 00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:06.440 gets who gets to be on the police force. Make 359 00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:07.960 it make sense. 360 00:24:09.160 --> 00:24:13.319 Well, let me just add one quick thing too. It's questionable. 361 00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:17.119 I'm not an attorney, but it's questionable whether that would 362 00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:21.000 even apply because there is an exception to that two 363 00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:25.480 party consent policy or two party consent law. When you're 364 00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:31.319 conducting an investigation, right, you are allowed to record without consent? 365 00:24:31.559 --> 00:24:34.640 And was this not an investigation? So I would argue 366 00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:38.400 it's not even this should not even be prosecutable at all. 367 00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:42.920 And I think that's the direction the stance that Daniel 368 00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:46.759 Flores' attorneys are taking as well. But he was forced 369 00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:49.039 to record because he had to investigate this. 370 00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:52.880 Yeah. By the way, that investigation, I think is only 371 00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:54.960 for law enforcement. I don't think you and I can 372 00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:56.079 just be well, well. 373 00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:04.920 I was investigating, I'm investigating. I'm investigating this man. 374 00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:11.319 Yeah, I don't think you could do that. Oh y'all 375 00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:14.480 learn something really crazy this weekend, doctor Malina Abdullah. And 376 00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:16.519 I'm not quite sure why I'm telling you this, except 377 00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:19.680 for that I think you're crazy enough to appreciate it. 378 00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:23.480 Do you know that you can order on Postmates? You 379 00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:31.599 can order raw rattlesnake or what rattlesnake or rabbit? 380 00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:37.400 Well, people, I've eaten so my family's from Boma, Texas. 381 00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:42.200 Rattlesnake is actually delicious, as is rabbit. Oh lord, But 382 00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:46.480 I'm mostly a vegetarian now, so I wouldn't actually ordered 383 00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:47.519 that on postmates. 384 00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:50.240 Well, I mean I've had rabbit. Sorry, I thought it 385 00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:53.119 was nasty, but I mean, I just I mean, we 386 00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:55.640 call ourselves a big city. I keep telling y'all, this 387 00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:58.319 is the country. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go on 388 00:25:58.480 --> 00:26:02.319 door Dash and order me some rattlesnake. You can get 389 00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:02.880 it wrong. 390 00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:06.880 Yeah, you might not need to go. 391 00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:09.720 On door Just go up to kenneth home part with 392 00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:13.880 a hope and I mean it has a handle, yeah, 393 00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:20.119 because I don't know you could go hunting rattlesnakes right now. Anyway, 394 00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:26.559 I digress. The opening statements are today in the trial 395 00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:31.000 of who killed Tupac Shakor? I Guess is the I 396 00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:35.759 guess that's the tagline, and it does feel like a production. 397 00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:39.720 You knew him, I think, Well, I know you knew 398 00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:42.839 Tupac better than I knew him. People think that I 399 00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:45.119 knew him really, really well because he put my clip 400 00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:47.319 on the album and I didn't know him. But I 401 00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:50.160
