Speaker 1: Can we do this every Monday? So blessed to have
Speaker 1: her on board. She is a meditation instructor, a sound
Speaker 1: healer and sound pathologist. She is a yoga teacher too
Speaker 1: and also a life coach, astrologer, and numerologists and more.
Speaker 1: Sahara Ali with Mindful Monday, Good Morning, Good.
Speaker 2: Morning Dominique, and Good Morning ka Bla family. Welcome to
Speaker 2: Mindful Monday, where we prepare our minds for the week
Speaker 2: by setting positive intentions, honoring our mind and body through meditation,
Speaker 2: prayer and affirmation. As we step unapologetically into the week,
Speaker 2: rooted in purpose, power, wisdom, truth and faith. We're blessed
Speaker 2: with several celestial influences inviting karmen, closure, grounded self reflection,
Speaker 2: and deep emotional release. This week, the cosmic call to
Speaker 2: action is to surrender control, face reality with Gray's trusting
Speaker 2: divine order. Our transformational journey begins with the Sun, Mercury
Speaker 2: and Venus and Virgo leading into Friday. Or listen to
Speaker 2: Friday's full moon moonery eclipse and Pisces Hi Hi. It's
Speaker 2: a crazy week. This eclipse represents completion and life course shifts,
Speaker 2: breaking things open and giving us an energetic push to
Speaker 2: release old patterns and stagnation. Under the piss's full moon,
Speaker 2: it's time to act on our dreams, not just talk
Speaker 2: about them. To surrender healing and expanded consciousness, we gain
Speaker 2: insight and clarity. This cycle is a true walk through
Speaker 2: the valley of the shadow of death, fearing no evil
Speaker 2: as it pushes us beyond our comfort zone. We gain
Speaker 2: deep inside by setting new intentions, taking out the trash
Speaker 2: and letting go to let God. It's a leap of faith,
Speaker 2: bringing spiritual growth through self acceptance, courage, and prayer. The
Speaker 2: call to action is to soften our hearts, release ego,
Speaker 2: and listen to the wisdom of our soul. The time
Speaker 2: has come to release the bs and trust that is safe.
Speaker 2: To embrace our power on apologetically opening ourselves to receive
Speaker 2: fulfillment of our long awaited dreams. We level walk the
Speaker 2: greater the blessing, So get busy releasing what no longer serves.
Speaker 2: Our lives are our highest good is by Felicia or
Speaker 2: Mary J would say, no more drama in my life,
Speaker 2: no hater ration or holoerration. So going forward, let's lean
Speaker 2: into our mindful Monday meditation. Take a breath, gather your senses.

Speaker 2: have a smiling miles in the fifteen eighty kb a
Speaker 2: La family, have an unapologetic, less full looing eclips week
Speaker 2: and stay focused on your power and your purpose. And
Speaker 2: remember Mary j no hater ration, holration.
Speaker 1: In this dancery. You forgot the dancery.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess our lives is like a dancer. Reason.
Speaker 1: So a Virgo Virgo Virgo we got. We got all
Speaker 1: this Virgo energy. And then a full moon in Pisces.
Speaker 2: See yeah, in the opposition full moons when the moon
Speaker 2: is well, the sun is opposite the moon. That's why
Speaker 2: we get a full boom because it's the light. And
Speaker 2: so we have a lot, it's a lot of Virgo
Speaker 2: stuff going on. On the twenty second, the sun enters
Speaker 2: Virgo for four weeks. On the twenty fifth, Mercury moves
Speaker 2: into Virgo, supporting clarity and organization. And on the twenty eighth,
Speaker 2: we have the lunary clips in Pisces, and it's aiding
Speaker 2: us to break free from the path and to move
Speaker 2: in through the future, manifesting change. However, this lunary clips
Speaker 2: starts on Thursday night and all the way to Friday.
Speaker 2: It's kind of Craig Craig, and we also have we
Speaker 2: also have Mercury and Virgo square Uranus asking us to
Speaker 2: think outside the box and to work on inside of
Speaker 2: truth as opposed to illusions, and also to step away
Speaker 2: from any friction. So you know, with a cool move
Speaker 2: and a lunary clips and the Virgo like because you
Speaker 2: think of Virgo, Virgo is purification, Virgo is analytical, and
Speaker 2: in Virgo is exalted. Virgo helps us get organized, It
Speaker 2: helps us take the trash out, It helps us have
Speaker 2: discerning It can be very critical and judgmental, but it
Speaker 2: also gives us that discerning dynamic that we need to
Speaker 2: make change with the Pisces opposition, we have to work
Speaker 2: really hard to not be delusional about the reality that's
Speaker 2: in front of us. Believe people when they tell you
Speaker 2: who they are, let go, when spiracs let go, and
Speaker 2: especially under this eclipse, you know there's a lot of
Speaker 2: gang going on. So just be mindful of what your
Speaker 2: truth is and don't go for the okie doke. And
Speaker 2: I don't know how to say it any other way.
Speaker 1: All right, pay attention face reality. That's pretty straightforward. Sahara
Speaker 1: Ali will return with us. So if you have a
Speaker 1: question or comment eight hundred and nine two fifteen eighty.
Speaker 1: If not, you know, I do, I do. I felt
Speaker 1: like I was in a mercury retrograde eclipse twilight zone yesterday,
Speaker 1: and so I shall buckle up for the week ahead.
Speaker 1: We did face reality, though we did. We got bag
Speaker 1: in the car and drove back to LA listening to
Speaker 1: KBLA Talk fifteen eighty. You know, we were talking with
Speaker 1: James this morning about how you know, how this massive
Speaker 1: report does or does not help the fire victims, fire
Speaker 1: survivors there in Altadena. You are an Altadena Pasadena community
Speaker 1: member yourself, and I know that some of those fire
Speaker 1: survivors have come to you for treatment and counseling and
Speaker 1: you know, sound treatments, healings, life coaching. Are you I
Speaker 1: feel like it's been so long without meaningful relief for them?
Speaker 1: Are you seeing people holding on to hope? Or you
Speaker 1: talk about the you know, the eclipse energy and the
Speaker 1: Virgo energy means we got to face reality. How is
Speaker 1: this hitting?
Speaker 2: It's so it's on so many levels, because there are
Speaker 2: some people who are liquid and they are still going on,
Speaker 2: and there are so many people that's displaced. I have
Speaker 2: several teenagers that I see and it's because they're all
Speaker 2: living in one place, sleeping on a couch. They don't
Speaker 2: they don't feel centered or grounded and there's deep depression.
Speaker 2: And then the real thing is there's a lot of
Speaker 2: politics going on with this, okay, and there's a lot
Speaker 2: of there's a lot of confusion, and the things that
Speaker 2: they're asking of people really doesn't make sense. I know
Speaker 2: one of my clients, everything in our house burned and
Speaker 2: she went to go get supported and they said, well,
Speaker 2: do you have your ss car? Do you have your
Speaker 2: birth certificate? And she says it burned in the fire,
Speaker 2: and they says, well, go get it and then come back. Now,
Speaker 2: you know that is insensitive, it is disrespectful, but I
Speaker 2: know politics is politics. But the other thing is that
Speaker 2: it is very daunting, it is very very traumatic, and
Speaker 2: some people are having deep emotional psychosis coming to the surface.
Speaker 2: And it's really interesting. For the men, it's initiating crazy perversions.
Speaker 2: Their wives are like he wants this and not and this.
Speaker 2: It's just really interesting how people manage stressed differently. But
Speaker 2: what really hurts my heart is the kids. The kids,
Speaker 2: they don't understand. They feel ashamed because they have to
Speaker 2: go to school and they're going to school with kids
Speaker 2: who have everything, and they don't have everything. They don't
Speaker 2: have their clothes, they don't have their memories, and then
Speaker 2: the people that are liquid, they are frustrated with the
Speaker 2: politics of trying to rebuild and the dynamics that they
Speaker 2: go through with the contractors and the permit and them
Speaker 2: having too the powers that be come out to the
Speaker 2: contractors come out, it's like, well, you can't have this
Speaker 2: over here, you can't build that this way. So it's
Speaker 2: a lot of I don't put it this way. There's
Speaker 2: a lot of deception, there's a lot of greed. And
Speaker 2: you know, we ride the bike up there and some
Speaker 2: houses are up, some houses aren't. Some houses are boarded
Speaker 2: up but still have fire damage on them, and you
Speaker 2: can tell who has money and who doesn't. And that
Speaker 2: is the big thing with this fire situation. It's a
Speaker 2: great divide the haves and the have nots, and the
Speaker 2: have nots are suffering greatly. And the hard part of
Speaker 2: the have nots is one of the city forms that
Speaker 2: I attended. They would have Grandma across the street, Auntie
Speaker 2: Jane around the corner, sister next door, and all of
Speaker 2: this is gone. They have no place of respite, they
Speaker 2: have no.
Speaker 1: Right because I mean, if you're a have not in
Speaker 1: that situation, you might have been a long term resident
Speaker 1: of a home that was passed on to you by
Speaker 1: your family. So you didn't feel like I have not.
Speaker 1: You had your family there. You guys could pitch in resources,
Speaker 1: you had a place to live. Now if you're under
Speaker 1: insured or uninsured, all of that is gone and probably
Speaker 1: not coming back. And that's got to be tough for folks,
Speaker 1: you know, in any.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but even with the insurance, there's a lot of
Speaker 2: politics around there. They don't want to pay you the
Speaker 2: value of your property. But this is the kicker that
Speaker 2: they still have to pay rent.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I have a client. They have a condo and some
Speaker 2: big condo thing and one side of the building burned
Speaker 2: and the other side of the building only had smoke damage.
Speaker 2: So they fixed the smoke damage building first, and they're
Speaker 2: still will rebuilding their condo. But they still have to
Speaker 2: pay rent. Yeah, and h o A fees and all
Speaker 2: of this. And the other part is there was a
Speaker 2: beautiful form. It was really wonderful. We got to do
Speaker 2: a sound bath and I got a chance to do
Speaker 2: a guide of meditation. There are some dynamic sisters who
Speaker 2: are well educated in their attorneys and they are fighting
Speaker 2: for the community getting things together. Ashley I don't know
Speaker 2: Ashley's last name, but the collaboratory they're doing a really
Speaker 2: good job with helping the people, supporting the people and
Speaker 2: championing the people and trying to give them clarity and support.
Speaker 2: They have this huge board, it is crazy where all
Speaker 2: the houses were burnt, all the houses that are rebuilt,
Speaker 2: all the houses that will never be rebuilt, and a
Speaker 2: list of all the displaced people. It's heart renting, it's
Speaker 2: heart wrenching. It's like watching a slave ship diagram. It
Speaker 2: is just so heart wrenching to see so many people
Speaker 2: displaced and where are they?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 2: They say, well, a lot.
Speaker 1: Of them are in South LA some are you know,
Speaker 1: further Afield. And that's you know, people from what I've
Speaker 1: been able to gather, they've gone. The ones that aren't
Speaker 1: living in their cars have gone to where other black
Speaker 1: people are that they know, right, which is right? Any
Speaker 1: in any case, it's I'm glad that you're, you know,
Speaker 1: working with folks in the ways that you can. It's
Speaker 1: kind of an all hands on deck situation. But it's
Speaker 1: sad to hear about those kids, you know, and how
Speaker 1: their whole lives have.
Speaker 2: Been just oh yeah, and they with you kids and
Speaker 2: they know their house burnt down, and they make them
Speaker 2: feel so small. I have one young lady. It just
Speaker 2: hurts my heart. You know, she's she's sleeping on the
Speaker 2: couch with her mom at her at her aunt's house.
Speaker 2: You know, it's like ten people in a three bedroom place,
Speaker 2: and it's just so hard. And she's a gorgeous little girl,
Speaker 2: and she just cries every time she comes. And I
Speaker 2: try to give her hope. And I understand, God doesn't
Speaker 2: give you a burden that you can't carry. But as
Speaker 2: you carry the burden, it is so important to hold
Speaker 2: on to the faith. And it's really hard to have faith.
Speaker 2: And so it's so important that we have love and
Speaker 2: compassion and lots of prayers for the souls that have
Speaker 2: chose to take this journey to bring this awakening about
Speaker 2: the disparity that exists up in Altadena and the greed
Speaker 2: that exists in this whole community and this global thing
Speaker 2: of greed. And so I say, everybody stay prayed up
Speaker 2: about Altadena, do what you can to support the Alcadenians,
Speaker 2: and stay in a positive mind. And all of the
Speaker 2: legal people, with all your legal power, go and help
Speaker 2: those people and help guide them. So that they don't
Speaker 2: get cheated, or that they can feel like they have
Speaker 2: something bigger to support them with, because a lot of
Speaker 2: people are not educated about the laws and the insurance
Speaker 2: and all the political things that you have to go through.
Speaker 2: Even designing and building a house. There's a lot of
Speaker 2: legal stuff and there's a lot of contractors that are
Speaker 2: cheating people. So all the powers that be, whatever skills
Speaker 2: you have, whatever knowledge you have about building houses or rebuilding,
Speaker 2: or helping find placements or grants or whatever, show up. Yeah, laboratory,
Speaker 2: The collaboratory is a good place to start. They have
Speaker 2: a whole organization and they have their hands on the
Speaker 2: pulse of all the Altadena Fuier situation.
Speaker 1: The person you're talking about is ash Level with Alta
Speaker 1: Dina Rising is the organization, right, yeah, right, And they
Speaker 1: have a website altadenuisingnow dot org. So that's another another organization.
Speaker 2: And they are holding people accountable. Yes, that's what I
Speaker 2: love about Altadena Rising. They are going after everybody.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's I'm trying to save you time to make
Speaker 1: sure folks find out how to connect with you.
Speaker 2: Sahara, Oh excuse me, Virgo got me under the weather.
Speaker 2: They can call two on three six two eight nine
Speaker 2: seven eighty three, and they can talk to a last
Speaker 2: the scheduling appointments and schedule sound healing treatment and I
Speaker 2: don't have any sound baths until next month and that's it.
Speaker 2: As I am not you know, this virgo stuff has
Speaker 2: me like I'm trying to hold it together. But i
Speaker 2: am a little bit under the weather and I'm a
Speaker 2: hold of space to heal myself feel better.
Speaker 1: Sahara Ali dot com is another place you can look
Speaker 1: to find out what she's got going on. Or you can,
Speaker 1: as she said, call at least two on three six
Speaker 1: two eight nine seven eight three if you want a
Speaker 1: reading or maybe a sound bath, a sound healing session,
Speaker 1: which is a wonderful, wonderful thing. Sahara Ali, thank you
Speaker 1: for your insight, and thank you for all the work
Speaker 1: you're doing to help your neighbors out there in the
Speaker 1: Altadena Pasadena area.
Speaker 2: And thank you Dominique and KBLA family for holding the
Speaker 2: space of consciousness changeing transformation. Dominique, Love you forever ever, Love.
Speaker 1: You forever ever. Back. We got news, traffic and sports,
Speaker 1: and then the phone lines are wide open. If you
Speaker 1: want a vent, I'm here for you. A Bla Doug
Speaker 1: fifteen eighty. If you belong here and you're welcome here
Speaker 1: at eight hundred and nine to fifteen eighty, eight hundred
Speaker 1: nine to fifteen eighty. That's the number to call if
Speaker 1: you want to say a thing about a thing. And
Speaker 1: there are so many things we learned over the weekend
Speaker 1: that Carmelo Anthony will not get or least the judges
Speaker 1: ruled not to grant him a new trial. And that
Speaker 1: is not shocking after the reports that we heard from
Speaker 1: activists on the ground there in Texas that even though
Speaker 1: they had granted the defense's motion that they would get
Speaker 1: a new judge, that those two judges were friends, that
Speaker 1: the prosecutors were friends, that they were all sort of
Speaker 1: part of a small town group of old school white
Speaker 1: folks and the judge, which to me, it seems very
Speaker 1: strange that if there was enough bias on the part
Speaker 1: of a judge to warran a new judge, that there
Speaker 1: wouldn't be enough to warrant a new trial. But that
Speaker 1: is what the that is what the new judge decided
Speaker 1: that there will be no new trial. The defense team,
Speaker 1: the new lawyers for Carmelo Anthony, not giving up. They
Speaker 1: are planning to appeal and we shall see. But right
Speaker 1: now the thirty five year sentence for defending himself stands,
Speaker 1: and yeah, there's more to say about that. Sam called
Speaker 1: last week talking about how information about Carmelo Anthony came
Speaker 1: out that was not favorable to him, and a lot
Speaker 1: of information came out about the Metcalf twins that was
Speaker 1: not favorable to them. But as hey, hey with mamas
Speaker 1: for Carmelo Anthony, and he pointed out on Instagram what
Speaker 1: Carmelo Anthony was doing was talking smack on text He
Speaker 1: was saying some things that were not good, you know,
Speaker 1: violent thoughts and dumb stuff. But what the Medcalfs did
Speaker 1: was take action, spraying Nazi graffiti and beating people up.
Speaker 1: It's a little different, you know, talking big on texts
Speaker 1: as opposed to taking actions. It's a little different. And sadly,
Speaker 1: you know, teenagers do have impulse control problems and many
Speaker 1: times they talk smack and say things and try to
Speaker 1: act big. And I'm not justifying that, but it's not
Speaker 1: the same as going grabbing someone and beating them up
Speaker 1: or spray painting Nazi symbolism on walls. Those are actually actions.
Speaker 1: Those are not just posturing in any case, free Carmelo.
Speaker 1: We will continue to watch this case, even though, as
Speaker 1: we said, for now Carmelo Anthony goes back to prison
Speaker 1: after Judge Michael Chitty that's his name. I didn't make
Speaker 1: it up. Judge Michael Chitty was put on the case
Speaker 1: as a new judge because of what seemed to be
Speaker 1: bias in the case of the old judge, and yet
Speaker 1: same result. Let's go to Big Phil calling us from
Speaker 1: LA Good morning, Big Phil.
Speaker 3: Money that was go sleep man. That Tavis fu he
Speaker 3: putting the ham on Mark Keith? Did they get him?
Speaker 3: Dooming got a million dollars?
Speaker 1: That's what That's what Tavis is reporting. I have not
Speaker 1: seen any paperwork. I know that Tavis's is reporting. Well,
Speaker 1: I believe Tavisa is reporting what the council president said himself.
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I mean, I know that funds
Speaker 1: came in from the Metro and I and I don't know.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen any breakdown as far as money from
Speaker 1: the Metro versus money from destination Crenshaw or procrastination Crenshaw.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that breakdown. And I think that is
Speaker 1: the point, is that we want to see an audit.
Speaker 1: We want to see what money went, where, to whom?
Speaker 1: And why isn't it finished? You know that I think
Speaker 1: is the whole point. Did duel get a million? What
Speaker 1: happened to that million? Did it ever go to really
Speaker 1: go to dueling? You know what I mean? That's those
Speaker 1: are the questions that we're asking.
Speaker 3: The money getting funny anyway that Ramen, she needs to
Speaker 3: go shut down. I mean, she's making a fool out
Speaker 3: of parents went to that meeting. She needs to go
Speaker 3: really shut down. To be honest with you, that's just
Speaker 3: my last land with that.
Speaker 1: What meeting Are you talking about that, Karen? Are you
Speaker 1: talking about the debate?
Speaker 3: The debate with Yeah, I mean she had no experience,
Speaker 3: like Kara Beth says, she hired a politics the dirty,
Speaker 3: dirty game. Okay, it is.
Speaker 1: It is And also it's politics. I mean for Nathew Rahman,
Speaker 1: who's a sitting council member in the La City Council,
Speaker 1: she's mad that she was pulled off as the leader
Speaker 1: of the housing committee, but she the homeless committee. I
Speaker 1: guess she says it's for political reasons. Well, that's politics.
Speaker 1: Everything is for political reasons. You know the reason you're
Speaker 1: complaining about it is political. The reason people are saying
Speaker 1: you're not effective. Everything is political. There's a book by
Speaker 1: former Speaker Willie Brown which is brilliant and he breaks
Speaker 1: down politics. Yeah, if you resind your endorsement of the
Speaker 1: mayor a month after you endorse her and decide to
Speaker 1: run against her, there's going to be political consequences that.
Speaker 1: That's why they call it politics. However, the people on
Speaker 1: that homeless committee are saying that she just wasn't showing up,
Speaker 1: she wasn't doing her job. And then the very day
Speaker 1: of the of her final meeting as the chair, because
Speaker 1: she'll still stay on the committee, she just won't be
Speaker 1: the chair, she didn't show up and they didn't have
Speaker 1: quorum so they had to cancel it. So you know, yes,
Speaker 1: it's political. It's politics. That's why they call it politics.
Speaker 1: It's going to be quite a lively spirited election season.
Speaker 1: And I hope that no matter who wins, you know,
Speaker 1: the mayor's race, no matter who wins these ballot measures
Speaker 1: and all of these you know the governor's race, well
Speaker 1: that we all come out a little smarter, better informed.
Speaker 1: I mean, at least in La. Either way it goes,
Speaker 1: you've got a Democrat either way it goes you've got
Speaker 1: a woman of color. But to your point, Big Phil,
Speaker 1: if I have two candidates with similar voting records and
Speaker 1: one has tons of experience and the other one has
Speaker 1: no experience, I'll probably take the experience one. If I
Speaker 1: have two candidates with similar voting records and one is
Speaker 1: black the other's not black, I'm gonna take the black one.
Speaker 1: That's just me. But now you've got the convergence of
Speaker 1: the black one being the one with more experience on
Speaker 1: the on the local, community organizing, federal, you know, in state.
Speaker 1: So I'm you know, like I said, I'm paying attention,
Speaker 1: I'm reporting the facts. I do my best any time
Speaker 1: that I interview candidates, I'm always going to be fair
Speaker 1: and ask the tough questions to both. But it is
Speaker 1: that was quite a quite a mayoral debate out in
Speaker 1: Sherman Oaks.
Speaker 3: Hello, Yeah, yeah, see you you bet my mother at
Speaker 3: the Afterton there's my Mother's the one to hit court
Speaker 3: system ob with Saint Louis. She's a very briy, one
Speaker 3: beautiful woman. She's gone now, but she told me she's so.
Speaker 3: I want to be no politician because this is a dirty,
Speaker 3: dirty gay, and she's right, I'm gonna land. God bless
Speaker 3: you definitely come out. God bless you.
Speaker 1: Okay, God bless you too. I mean, and I get that. Okay,
Speaker 1: there is always there is always dirt and politics, but
Speaker 1: a lot there are people getting stuff done too. Like
Speaker 1: it's tough and money is way more of a of
Speaker 1: a powerful player than it should be. Yogi Fish says, now,
Speaker 1: don't based vote based on race, not race alone. Okay,
Speaker 1: yogi fish, you got a business assuming you're black, you
Speaker 1: look black in the picture. You've got too candidate? Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: you never know. It could be abot. But you got
Speaker 1: two candidates. You got two candidates for a job that
Speaker 1: you're hiring. They both have the same resume. One is
Speaker 1: black and one is not what you're gonna do. They
Speaker 1: have the same resume. That's not hiring based on race.
Speaker 1: It's hiring based on qualifications. But if they're if all
Speaker 1: things are equal, yeah, I'm going with black. I'm betting
Speaker 1: on black for sure, and proud of it too. Eight
Speaker 1: hundred nine two oh fifteen eighty. And that's not just politics,
Speaker 1: that's work, that's interpersonal relationships, that's art, that's just to
Speaker 1: me natural, Yes, because I see being black as an asset,
Speaker 1: not a liability. Eight hundred nine two oh fifteen eighty.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred nine two oh fifteen eighty. He says he's purple.
Speaker 1: What does that mean? You're Barney the dinosaur. Sharing is caring.
Speaker 1: Uh No, that's not called racism, that's called common sense.
Speaker 1: I'll take the melanated one. Thank you. Eight hundred nine
Speaker 1: two oh fifteen eighty. Say it to my face, Say
Speaker 1: it to my face. Eight hundred and nine to oh
Speaker 1: fifteen eighty. Oh my, there's so much news. We shall
Speaker 1: cover that, or you shall call me, or all of
Speaker 1: the above. That's what we do around here. We are
Speaker 1: kbla talk fifteen eighty. Phil called me at eight hundred
Speaker 1: and nine to oh fifteen eighty, eight hundred and nine
Speaker 1: to oh fifteen eighty. Rest in peace to Michael Wright,
Speaker 1: the actor known most famously for the movie The Five
Speaker 1: Heart Beats. He died from marchiafava bignami disease, which is
Speaker 1: a rare neurological condition. He was seventy years old, so
Speaker 1: rest in peace to him. Know, just a fine actor
Speaker 1: who worked throughout his life, which is actually surprisingly rare, sadly,
Speaker 1: very rare. So yeah, rest in peace to him. Sad
Speaker 1: to lose another great one. And it seems like the
Speaker 1: news cycle is continuing to speed up, but the help
Speaker 1: is not continuing to speed up. If your help does
Speaker 1: not seem to be on the way. If you're in Indiana, uh,
Speaker 1: still waiting for power. Lots of people, thousands still after
Speaker 1: a storm there. It's been almost two weeks and a
Speaker 1: lot of folks still do not have power. It's crazy
Speaker 1: to me. I mean, that is sounding like life in
Speaker 1: a an underdeveloped nation. And I get that. You know
Speaker 1: there were there was widespread damage, but can't you bring
Speaker 1: in some temporary generators or some kind of help. Again,
Speaker 1: You've got people at the mercy of this utility company
Speaker 1: reminding me a lot of what's going on here in LA.
Speaker 1: But also I wonder, in the context of this current administration,
Speaker 1: you know, are they doing all they can do, especially
Speaker 1: when you're talking about a majority black community and the
Speaker 1: governor a Republican, claims that the National Guard is working
Speaker 1: really hard to get the power back on, and state
Speaker 1: workers from the Department of Correction, which of course makes
Speaker 1: me wonder if they're actually incarcerated persons are working to
Speaker 1: get the power back on, but still tens of thousands
Speaker 1: of people, mostly black people, are without power. It's it's
Speaker 1: giving Flint, Michigan and Hurricane and Katrina because the health
Speaker 1: help always just appears to move a lot more slowly
Speaker 1: when it's us. How do you close down schools for
Speaker 1: a week and you don't know when they're going to open?
Speaker 1: A week of mis learning is very significant. As we
Speaker 1: saw during COVID, the power company apparently did an update
Speaker 1: about who has powerware in Indiana and when power will
Speaker 1: be stored restored where, and they left they left Gary
Speaker 1: off that map. Make it make sense, Yeah, of course
Speaker 1: they're angry. Oh the black people aren't even on your
Speaker 1: list of when and where we're going to restore power.
Speaker 1: Not only is a majority black city, Gary, Indiana, also
Speaker 1: has a lot of underresourced folks there. The mayor says
Speaker 1: there are no simple repairs that they have to fix
Speaker 1: entire systems. Still, forty three thousand people without power is crazy.
Speaker 1: Almost two weeks later and now I guess we're having
Speaker 1: an economic war with Canada. Thank you to the resident.
Speaker 1: His power is fine. I'm confused. Time to talk to
Speaker 1: doctor Julianne Malvo again because we've got. The US just
Speaker 1: imposed fifty tariffs on twenty billion dollars worth of Canadian
Speaker 1: goods over the weekend after negotiations broke down. They couldn't
Speaker 1: work it out. Canada said the US was being ridiculous,
Speaker 1: they were asking for too much. Now they're taking countermeasures,
Speaker 1: and it's not a good situation. This is another ally
Speaker 1: that we're upsetting, that we're alienating that probably doesn't even
Speaker 1: consider us an ally anymore. Mark Carney, their prime minister
Speaker 1: up there in Canada, he's saying, well, they're gonna be
Speaker 1: releasing the details of their own tariffs. But this is
Speaker 1: where my confusion comes in. Didn't the courts rule that
Speaker 1: are tariffs, that many of Trump's tariffs were illegal, And
Speaker 1: now the government is paying back the companies but not
Speaker 1: paying back us. We the consumers who paid those higher
Speaker 1: prices because of the tearffs. So the companies get the
Speaker 1: refund and they'll keep it as profit, but the people
Speaker 1: still buy less with their dollars than they bought before.
Speaker 1: Those prices don't automatically come down, and all the money
Speaker 1: that we've already spent in higher prices because of the tariffs,
Speaker 1: we don't get that back. How is that? How is
Speaker 1: that economically sound? Well? Anyway, another ally bites the dust.
Speaker 1: It was an eventful weekend. It wasn't just me going
Speaker 1: to Anaheim for no reason thinking she was gonna see
Speaker 1: Daniel Caesar and seeing flocks of teenagers. No, there was
Speaker 1: a lot of news breaking over the weekend. So apparently
Speaker 1: when we had heard threats about this, but apparently too
Speaker 1: of the alleged friends of Nolan Wells have given a
Speaker 1: formal demand letter to the Revernel Sharpton saying that unless
Speaker 1: he apologizes and retracts and deletes what they're calling false
Speaker 1: in defaminatory statements about these alleged friends of Nolan Wells,
Speaker 1: Warren Jackson Morgan, that they will sue him. And they
Speaker 1: have sent these pre suit demand letters nineteen pages, demanding
Speaker 1: an apology and demanding the retraction of what they say
Speaker 1: are statements about completely innocent young men. Sharpton says, bring it.
Speaker 1: I mean not quite in those words, he said, quote,
Speaker 1: I welcome the lawsuit, and we'll have my attorneys be
Speaker 1: in touch with theirs to arrange for them to serve
Speaker 1: me so we can go to court. Okay, he sounds terrified,
Speaker 1: but we still don't know what happened to Nolan Wells
Speaker 1: who was never seen alive again after taking a trip
Speaker 1: to Horn Island in Mississippi for Fourth of July and
Speaker 1: he went out on that boat with his white friends
Speaker 1: and never came back. And those friends apparently he's got
Speaker 1: a large circle of many different groups ethnic groups of friends.
Speaker 1: But those friends have lawyered up, those friends have deleted
Speaker 1: their social media, those friends did not cooperate with the family,
Speaker 1: and now those friends have a GoFundMe to defend themselves
Speaker 1: and are suing Al Sharpton. How is this going to
Speaker 1: help us get to the truth of what happened to
Speaker 1: Nolan Wells. I do not know. Those friends are going
Speaker 1: on right wing podcast, Those friends are fanning racial divisions,
Speaker 1: Those friends are profiting off of this case and not
Speaker 1: seeming to spend any time at all trying to figure
Speaker 1: out what happened to their friend. Yeah, and the fact
Speaker 1: that they're so baffled about why black people would be
Speaker 1: suspicious and up in arms and wanting to know what
Speaker 1: happens when we're talking about Mississippi with its history of
Speaker 1: racial violence, and when we're in a time right now
Speaker 1: where black people are being found hanging from trees, coming
Speaker 1: up missing and being told and assured, oh, it was
Speaker 1: a suicide, Oh it was an accident before investigations happened.
Speaker 1: Of course we want answers. We've got news, traffic and
Speaker 1: sports right here, and then it's Black Marriage Monday. And
Speaker 1: if you're not married, if you're in a relationship situationship,
Speaker 1: you can learn how to communicate a little better in
Speaker 1: relationships in love. We all need that. That is next
Speaker 1: after news traffic, in sports only right here,
