Speaker 1: And I'm so happy to have a little something something
different for you. On this wealth Building Wednesday, we like
to shine a spotlight on all different kinds of businesses
and opportunities for business. Today we are spotlighting a dance teacher,
a spreader of the culture, a provider of joy. Cali Kara, Welcome, Hi,
good morning, Good morning. So I know that your your business,
if you will, is line dancing, But tell me a
little bit about yourself. I don't I didn't get too
much info on you. Are you a professional dancer? Like,
how did you come to this line of work?
Speaker 2: Sure? Well, first of all, good morning, Masominic, Good morning everybody.
My name is Cali. I'm from Los Angeles, California. I'm
not a professional, but all my life I love to
dance and I recently lost over one hundred pounds and
that was with hard work, heavy on my mental work,
a lot my mental health, and I realized I really
like to line dance, and so I figured, why not
not only teach easy, beginner friendly dances, but also incorporate
to help people's mental health. So that's kind of how
I came up with it. The name of the business
is Rhythm and Release because it takes all the rhythm
to learn the dance. I'm hoping. I'm hoping people can
come to my class and you know, whatever they're going through,
they can release it within that hour. And I also
like to work with mental health based nonprofits to teach
some dancing as well.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a nice combination, you know. So you team
up with organizations that are helping people with their mental wellbeing,
and then you add the dance component to help them
find some joy and release in that.
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Yes, So okay, let's just back up a little bit here.
You said you've lost one hundred pounds. There as an
article I think it was in La Times who talks
about how right now when I think because of the
GLP ones and stuff that people are real judge and
they don't trust people who lose weight or whatever? Did that?
Did that? Did that impact you? And also being in
the dance space, which of course can can be pretty
judgey too, although I imagine line dancing is not as
bad as ballet. You know, in this environment, like the
way everyone is moving right now, was it hard harder
for you to to lose that weight?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be completely transparent. Some of my success was
due to a GOP one. I was on it for
about six months, but I didn't like the way it
made my body feel personally. So I just really learned
to keep a better habit and to stay active and dancing,
not only line dancing, but dancing with a lot of
my physical activity, and I kind of got into the
line dancing and it just made me feel really good.
Speaker 1: So I mean, look, Kelly, I don't judge people for
taking g LP. Once people got to do it, they
gotta do. It's your body, you do with what you want.
But I do think that if you use them to
drop some of that weight and you've been able to
keep it off, you're doing you're doing something pretty heroic
because a lot of people have had trouble keeping it
off when they when they you know, cycle off of
them and they're you know, they're not liking some of
the side effects like you didn't. Then they cycle off
and they struggle. So you you, you know, congrats to
you whatever you're doing. If you feel happy, I feel
happy for you. But with the with your line dancing,
I mean you brought that up because was that because
that was part of your journey or is it because
it doesn't matter what size you are or is it
because both.
Speaker 3: Both.
Speaker 2: Definitely, I'm definitely part of my journey. Like I said,
when I was a kid, I always used to love
to dance, so I definitely incorporated as a line dancing.
That's my fun of exercise. I did home exercises, I
didn't really go to the gym, but I danced a lot,
like I made sure I moved my body, and when
I got into the line dancing, I figured because a
lot of it is repetitive, so it's kind of like
doing the workout over and over again. And then also
I would it's a whole community of line dancing, and
I would realize people would come to me because I
didn't know the line dancers and they would want to learn.
So it kind of like popped in my mind, and
you know, everybody was happy and smiling at the end
of it. So I thought about, why not, you know,
share the gifts God gave me and teach other people.
And that's why I keep it beginning friendly because I
don't want people to be stressed out or worried about
it when they come to class. I wanted to go,
you know, pretty smoothly for them.
Speaker 1: I love that because that's how a lot of small
businesses start. It's something we do that everyone bugs us
to help them with or do more or make some
of whatever. So many businesses start that way. Sounds like
you had a gift and you know, and and it's
an urgent need. Because my understanding is that if you
don't know the line dances, you can have your black
card revoked.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a running joke for sure. People are like,
you don't know this dance. I'm not gonna lie. Some
of the harder ones I am still learning, but the
easier ones, you know, it's it's like I said, it's
a lot of fun, but it is. It gets a
little competitive when it comes to the harder ones, and
you know, it's a challenge. But at the end of
the day, it's just a fun thing to pick up
and a great thing to learn.
Speaker 1: So how do we support your business? And how do
we you know, shake our booties?
Speaker 2: Yes, so you guys can follow me on Instagram. It's
rhythm So it's r H Y T H M and

many thriving black businesses are happening on Instagram and other
businesses too. A lot of folks making making money there.
But your class is free.
Speaker 2: It's so it's five dollars, but it's not like a demand.
I know, you know people sometimes five dollars it's hard
to come with. So if people can show up, then
you know, I still would encourage them to show up
even if they don't have five dollars.
Speaker 1: So no one turned away. But five bucks if you
have it. But that's very affordable. And I suppose if
there's a nonprofit. We have lots of nonprofits that listen
that want to do do something different around the mental
health space, they would reach out to you via Instagram.

But Rhythman releases the name of the business. If I'm
a nonprofit and I reach out to you, and what
are the kinds of things you're gonna do with me?
What kinds of like collabs would we do?
Speaker 2: Yes, I definitely I offer not only do I offer
a variation of beginner front of the line dance hits.

but I'm open to work with anybody. Just encouragement. I
share my story of the importance of keeping your mental
health in check. You know, if you need support, getting
the support, arapey or whatever it looks like, having a
healthy community and keep your body moving because it does
great things for your mind as well.

I'm Dominique Daprima and you know where you are. Yeah,
so you know a recent poll I'm struggling to find
the full information here, but this is was in Politico
shows that this is a poll that was commissioned by
the mayor's supporters. Nevertheless, it shows that she is leading
by thirty seven percentage points to thirty three over Nithia Raman.
And it's according to this article, if you count only
you count undecided voters who are leaning toward one candidate
or another but haven't fully made up their mind, then
that advantage goes to forty one percent to thirty five,
which would be a significant lead even though it's still
considered I would consider it a very tight race. That's
twelve hundred likely voters and the margin vera is around
three percent, so that means even in the smaller lead,
it's still a lead. This is from July twenty eighth,
twenty second through the twenty eighth, which was which was
a tough time for LA. I mean, we're dealing with
the fire and boil heights and the pull the story
about the unhoused and jump in the number of unhoused,
which actually turns out, even according to the La Times,
that the methodology is faulty, so that jump, yes, it
did occur, but may not have been as pronounced. Likely
was not as pronounced as they claimed it was, because
they have this weird system where they have certain beds
for homeless people that they count in alternate years. The snapshot,
as they call it, of the unhouse. They call it
snapshot because it's a look from one day, has been
notoriously unreliable anyway, because we really don't know how to
count the unhoused. And I don't know if there's a
system somewhere in the world that's better. I haven't looked
into it, but I have read enough over the years
to know that this is relatively un reliable. However, we
have to figure we have to have some sense of it,
and it's what they do. They literally go ten to
tempt look who's inside, or try to calculate how many
people are inside, and then estimate how many people are
living on the streets. We know it's a lot, we
know there's way too many. But we do know that
the trend line has been going down under Mayor Karen
Bassett's the first time it's gone down under any mayor
in recent history, and it's going down at a time
when the resident the administration in Washington is defunding our
medicacal right, defunding food stamps and other safety net programs.
So there's pressure coming from Washington in the form of
reduced resources that would would lead to more unhoused people
on the streets. You cannot count or even talk about
the state of unhoused folks of homelessness in la or
any other American city right now, especially a blue state city,
without counting in the impact of the oligarchic, authoritarian, anti black,
anti brown, anti working class, anti poor, anti middle class,
if you really want to get down to it, administration
that we have right so, if nobody was doing anything,
if we didn't have an executive, a chief executive of
our city who was effective against homelessness, what we would
see right now is a huge jump. Because the work
that's being done and the moves that are being made
to counter act the defunding of services and safety nets
from Washington is what's keeping the floodgates from opening up
even wider, and that has to be understood in order
to have an accurate picture of what's happening in our city,
really any city in America right now, because houselessness is
no longer, if it ever was a West Coast or
in La or a California problem. It's growing in every city.
Why because we've allowed housing to be a commodity rather
than a human right. You're letting the big corporations and
the stock market f boys play with our dwellings the
way you would gamble with your earnings in a slot
machine in Vegas. And that ain't it. You know, I
know they're trying to privatize schools, so we'll get to
that point where we're you know, we could get to
that point with schools right now. We have a public option, right,
we have a public option. We don't have a public
option for healthcare. We've got Obamacare, which still, even though
it helped a lot of people, still keeps the power
in the hands of the corporations, in this case, insurance companies.
We don't have a public option for banking. It's one
of the missed opportunities I think one of the most
glaring missed opportunities of the Bush crash, the GOP crash
of two thousand and eight, the Great Recession. We should
have come out of that with a public option for banking,
but we don't have it. We don't have medicare for all.
We do have a public option for schools, and we
need to guard that. We do have a public option
for fire departments, and we need to guard that against privatization.
We do not have a public option for housing. We
don't have social housing. We have housing projects in some
cities for the very poor, but we don't have social
housing for elders, for the working class, for the working poor,
for the unemployed, to keep people off the streets. In fact,
we've done just the opposite. We've allowed housing to become
more and more just another item to buy, sell, and
trade on the stock market instead of looking at the
human impact. I mean, the reason that our utilities, water
and power are public and private, and as we see,
that still doesn't protect us from the Southern California Edison's
of the pg andes of the world. But the reason
they're public and private they're considered public utilities is because
it's essential. If you fully privatize water or power, people
are going to freeze and they're going to die a thirst.
And that's the situation that we have in housing now. Right,
we've allowed it to become privatized, we've allowed it to
become bicell trade. Absolutely, we would not be in as
good a position we are right now in the city
of Los Angeles, Left right, progressive, Republican, blue, red blood, crip,
whatever you got going on. If it wasn't for the
counteractive measures that this mayor has been taking, this steady
work that she's and on the flip side, how much
more progress we would would we see if she didn't
have to fight Washington just to keep people off the streets.
These are things we need to really think about now.
I know they're talking about dismantling LASA, you know, the
LA Housing Organization because the county pulled their money out,
but they still wanted boss folks around, and it's an
agency and transition to put a mildly so what would
we replace it with. I mean, there's big questions that
have to be answered here, but it is clear that
with the actions that have been taken in the past
four years, we are weathering this storm of the resident
of the White House much better than we otherwise would.
Let us not forget that, I'm Dominique de Prima. We
got news traffic in sports then more only right here.
So much to cover today, and you know it's not
been reported a bunch maybe because there won't be a
final vote on it until August twenty fifth, but the
City of Fort Worth has agreed to pay eleven point
two five million to the family of a Tatiana Jefferson.
Remember her. She was killed in her own home by
police in twenty nineteen, and that money is meant to
go into funds that are going for her nephews and
other family members. And if you remember that case, it
was terrifying. She did have one of her nephews there
with her, it might have been too imagine how traumatized
those children are. So the Fort Worth City Council will
vote on that August twenty fifth, But it looks like
the City of Fort Worth is finally finally moving forward
with that settlement. I wanted to give you some updates
on some of the other cases that I you know,
I'm determined not to let us forget about. We'll get
to that. There's there's more news in the Nolan Wells case.
We haven't spent a lot of time talking about the
young woman Tasia who was found hanging in Mississippi, hanging
from a tree. There is more news. Her name is
Tasia Fortune. There's more news coming out in the Carmelo
Anthony case update. I will update you on that, and
of course keeping our eyes on what's happening also in
Mississippi with the story of baby Cohen, the one year
old who was killed by police. There. Before we do that,
let's go to Paul calling us from LA.
Speaker 4: Good morning, Paul, good one, Please some of you can
hear me this time, Dominique, I do, oh, perfect, So
I have put it. I called earlier just for the
news on the Lakers now being sold again and flipped
over to the Kushner family and Bob Iger.
Speaker 1: So Krishner family, that's bizarre. I didn't know that. That's bizarre.
Speaker 4: So so I want you to pay attention to what
happened here. So the Walter in that group bought the
dog the Lakers from, brought the Lakers from the Bus family.
Then the Dodgers go to the White House, which I
had presumed was going to be because right along there
there was a federal case that was pulled against Walters
with potentially with some funny money being used overall. Then
not even a month later, from those reports, the Lakers
are being sold to the Kushner family.
Speaker 1: Hmmm, well yeah, exactly. I mean, I don't, doesn't does
the league have to approve that's it's not like football
where the league has to approve it. They can just
flip it like that because I know it takes a
minute to buy like a football team or a baseball team,
you know what I mean, there's a process. I don't
know that I've heard of it of a basketball of
a team being flipped back quickly.
Speaker 4: So think about it. You're you're correct. Normally, you do
your due diligence right, and you do background checks and
everybody where they get their money. But we're living in
a time like you've discussed the private equity, right, they
got their guy in office. People are wondering, we're living
in the Gilded age too. They're buying up all the media.
They're consolidating all the media, they're buying up the sports
teams at this point as a as a as a
way to gravitate towards power overall. Yeah, and the idea
that they got their guy. Steve Bennet said, a long
time ago, we've been waiting for Trump because what Trump
can do, he's a crown artist. He can sell you
magic beings. Nothing he can say is ever two racists,
nothing he can do ever bad enough.
Speaker 1: Yeah, or two sexist misogynists, anti disabled folks. I mean,
I see this article on ESPN. That's confirming what you're saying.
And they made two billion. That's a that's a quick
two billion because they bought it for ten mom Mark
Walter bought it for ten billion, the Lakers and sold
it to Kushner and Igre for twelve billion. Over twelve billion,
which you're saying is a record breaking price. So they
made a fast, fast two billion right there. And then
it's it's an interesting strange bedfellows. Bob Iger of course,
you know, longtime Disney chief. And then Josh Kushner, who
is a member Yeah, he is a member of the
in Laws of the Residents LA LA.
Speaker 4: So the LA just understand that the Trumps owned the Lakers.
I've been a Laker fan my whole life. My grandfather
and my mom. My values and respect for my people
mean way more than shooting a basketball. I will not
support that team. This is me personally, as long as
if this sale goes through, which more than likely it is,
because look at what the guy that just bought the
Portland Trailblazers are doing. This is just a consolidation of
power overall wealth and everything that you're talking about, Dominique,
is private equity gets in somewhere. They the largest costs
for corporations is labor, work, right, it's the working class, right.
So they're gonna cut from there and they're going to
try to accumulate a much of the wealth as they
can to the top of the payamid this.
Speaker 1: Is this is this is very fishy though. I'm glad
you pointed this out, because he was just saying owning.
He says, owning the Lakers has been one of the
greatest owners of my life. But how long did he
own them?
Speaker 4: Not not even what a full year?
Speaker 1: If that, it's been one of the greatest ownors of
my life. But also I'm out, like what, he needs
a pardon?
Speaker 4: He needs a pardon, Dominique pay attention to it.
Speaker 1: Followed the money funny though, because yeah, and so he
bought it from the best family. Then he goes to
the White House to celebrate the Dodgers because he owns
the Sparks too. Walter the guy that's selling it to
the Kushners, uh and the and and mister Iger. He
owns the Dodgers. He owns the sparks, He owns the
Professional Women's Hockey League, and racing teams and UH Club Chelsea.
So you would think he's just collecting teams, but this
one he spins off.
Speaker 4: But he's not. But the thing is, Dominique is not
just him that's involved in these group of people. There
are there's foreign money that's involved in it too, there's
other private equity firms. He's just the face of it.
He's just a face. This is just a representation of
where everything is. Think about it, Well.
Speaker 1: Bob Biker, but Bob Biger, I don't know if he's
a face or not a face, but he was a
CEO of Disney forever in a day. Just step down.
So that's just like it's hard for me to believe
that the Kushners and Iger would just be like symbolic
owners with no strategic plan or corporate influence.
Speaker 4: And look at and look at how he stepped down
and moved away. Everyone pay it. It's real simple, It's
real simple. These people, there's a class of people that
is accumulating as much of the wealth as they can.
They don't want to pay taxes. You taught you discussed
it earlier. With billionaires here. They don't believe their tax
dollars should go towards schools, to roads in things of
that nature. As a matter of fact, California is the
fourth or fifth biggest economy in the world, right, they
feel that your tax dollars needs to go towards their
investments and reinvestments in which they are they are monetizing, right.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's a whole mindset that we could
do an entire show on because they rely on the
human resources of this state to run their businesses. As employees,
those people are educated through the schools that they benefit from.
They drive on the roads that our tax dollars pay for.
That is what they benefit from. They use more water,
more power, more human and other resources than anyone else
because they have bigger corporate footprints, because they have huge
homes and huge businesses. So obviously, to anyone with common sense,
they should be paying to maintain the systems that allow
them to accumulate the wealth that they have. Instead, they
want to defund them. And you know, I have a
problem with that. But to your other point, Paul, you know,
the the ESPN article does note that Walter is under
federal investigation for tax fraud.
Speaker 4: So follow the money.
Speaker 1: I mean, Trump just got himself to preemptively pardon himself
for all current and future IRS crimes, not whine. Maybe
that's the same deal that mister Walter uh thinks that
he can get mister Mark Walter perhaps thinks he can
get you know, forever immunity from IRS prosecution with this deal.
I mean, we're speculating right now. We have no proof
of that, but it certainly is an interesting coincidence.
Speaker 4: I'm allegedly gonna throw something else out here for y'all allegations, right,
I'm gonna make sure I'm not. I'm not the station.
They ain't dominique. This is allegedly some of my thoughts.
Speaker 1: I used an opinions expressed by Paul Lee or.
Speaker 4: They they they're, they're their their their unions are an
issue for them. They want to break that stuff up
to right because a functioning middle working class is it's
not subservient for what they're trying to do. They have
to destroy that overall, which in turn is it's not
a race. They use culture, it's a class war. And
until people understand what this is, where does tax dollars go?
And who gets taxed. This goes back as far as Rag,
as far as Reagan. If you want to argue Nixon,
mag is nothing new.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I agree with that, Paul. I agree with that.
I do think that union breaking is not allegedly union
busting is is clearly part of the MAGA agenda. I
don't think it's going to be that easy. If they're
trying to break the players' unions at the NBA and
the NFL, I don't think that's that easy. But who knows.
I didn't think they, you know, overturned obs. I didn't
think a lot of things. I didn't even think this
dude would get elected or selected. And so you know,
I have underestimated the idiocy of people time and time again.
Speaker 4: Skin because when they're able to use and this goes
way back when people when they are able to use
skin color as currency. Remember, after the Civil Rights Act
was signed, the Democrats never won the white boat again.
And why did that happen, even though FDR's new deal
gave the benefits towards the working class of people and
rebuilt the country from the depression that we were in.
Why because they were able to divide and conquer what
you're watching now in this country is it's a class
war people. It's a reason ten of the eleven last
recessions started under certain regimes and administrations.
Speaker 1: Just follow the money, follow the money. Indeed, it's always
great to hear from you, Paul. And wow, that's a
block Puster story that I definitely missed, but it is.
It's got long tentacles, folks, and lots of suspicious, coincidental
sort of implications there. Eight hundred nine two oh fifteen eighty.
That's the number Paul called. I encourage you to do
the same. I'm Dominicq Depriema and this it's KBLA Talk
fifteen eighty. Yes, indeed, we are for you. If you're
if you're listening and you want to talk, you can
call eight hundred and nine to oh fifteen eighty or
hop on the YouTube where we have lots and lots
of conversation and information shared. All these updates I wanted
to do. If I don't get to them today, I
will get to them tomorrow. It's just it feels like
a troubling time, particularly in Mississippi. But Mississippi can be
a symbol right for the ongoing struggle for freedom for liberation,
for safety, it's talking about. This case is the latest
well I don't even know if it's the latest Asia fortune.
It's what I'm talking about. This is a woman who
is found hanging from a tree in a backyard in
an abandoned home in Jackson, Mississippi. This was last week.
Her body was found August third. And the one thing
that is a little different, the police department says there's
an active and ongoing investigation. Usually when they find black
people hanging from trees, they hurriedly say it was suicide.
They did not do that this time, which is notable.
Her mom doesn't believe it was suicide. Most of us
never believe that it's suicide when black people are hung
from trees, because well, the history of America. They did
arrest this guy, well, they didn't arrest They questioned the guy.
They didn't arrest him. They questioned a guy, Terence Anderson.
They said he's a person of interest. He is He
was her baby daddy. Apparently, according to his brother, they
have a five year old together and that child lived
with him. But they have not named him as a suspect,
and there is an ongoing investigation. So that part is good.
And within the past few months there have been several
black people found hanging in Mississippi. I think it's four,
it might be three, but this latest one Taser fortune
is getting a little bit more conversation, which is good
and hopefully it makes us say, what's going on in Mississippi?
What is going on in Mississippi. Mississippi is where one
year old baby Cohen was shot by police, and this
is obviously a part of their history, part of the
history of the Deep South, Mississippi in particular, but we
don't know much about police are keeping tight lipped on
her death. But now remember, within the past year, Trey Reid,
a twenty one year old student at Delta State University,
was found hanging from a tree. As well, there is
a hanging of an unhoused white man in Vicksburg, and
those two have both been ruled suicides. But the other
thing that's casting a shadow over Mississippi right now is
Nolan Wells, and I do have some updates on that.
It's hard to keep track of all of it, but
it's hard not to look at Mississippi's pass I understand
why Nolan Well's mom is trying to say, hey, I
didn't say. I'm not trying to say this death was
possibly racially motivated. She's just saying she wants to know
what happened, but she's being vilified for supposedly racializing this.
We'll have add more on that, you know, I will
tracking this. Let's go to Ron calling us from Richmond.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Ron, Good morning, my bay here with your homegirl.
How you feeling.
Speaker 1: I'm blessed. How are you?
Speaker 3: I'm blessed. You was just thankful to be here so much,
with so much madness going on in the world right now,
still dealing with mister Orange over here in this White
House and all this other madness. But I'm just thankful
to be here. I was so glad she was able
to get that week off, get you some rest in.
Speaker 1: Absolutely got to go traveling. Got to see what it's
like to be in a country with no military. That
was wild.
Speaker 3: Wow, I heard that. That's the business. Oh yeah, did
you did you have to cancel your trip to uh
to South Africa, to South Africa this year? Did you?
Speaker 1: It was actually meant to be East Africa. It was well,
actually no, it's Southern Africa, You're right, not the country
of South Africa. Zambia and Botswana. Yes, we did. We
canceled because of the Ebola crisis. It's still ongoing. We
wanted to go desperately, but we don't want to die,
so we had to And because Trump has defunded, you know,
all the medical aid on the motherland, it was harder
for them to get that disease contained, so we had
to cancel.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's what's up. Yeah, I'm watching you on my
TV right now. I got tape delay, so but you're
still kicking those shout outs to all the folks out
there watching my girl worldwide. All my Bay people, may

Speaker 1: So that cat for holding it down. Uh, And thank you, Aron,
Appreciate the support, Appreciate the love and reminding the Bay area.
We're still doing our thing. We're still doing our thing. Man.
I was just updating on since you brought up the
Africa trip, two thousand people have died so far miles
in that Ebola outbreak. That's a lot of folks. It's
a lot of folks and it's still going on. So
you know, your safety, the safety of our beloved KBLA
delegation and our own safety has to be the top priority.
And praying for those folks because that is that outbreak
is still going. They do not have a cure for
this strain. Scientists start trying to figure it out and
it's a small world. After also pray for Congo, Democratic
Republic of Congo where they are dealing with that four
thousand cases, two thousand deaths. Hopefully the world will come
to its census shortly we're talking negotiation. Looking forward to
this conversation, We've got a world renowned expert and author,
Mari Taharapor joins us next on KBLA Talk fifteen eighty
