11
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:42.200
<v Speaker 2>last week's solar eclips, asking us to say no to

12
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:46.560
<v Speaker 2>say yes to ourselves as we get focused, balancing personal

13
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:49.880

00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:06.120
<v Speaker 1>The celebrating wholeness and light. I love that you left

80
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:09.199
<v Speaker 1>us with light today.

81
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:12.759
<v Speaker 3>And it's it's going. We're going.

82
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.240
<v Speaker 1>We're still in Leo season, which is one of my

83
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:20.839
<v Speaker 1>favorites because it's so expansive, but we're going into Virgo season.

84
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:23.959
<v Speaker 1>When you know, when we talk about Virgo, there's a

85
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:29.439
<v Speaker 1>lot of precision, a lot of critical analysis, let me

86
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:33.839
<v Speaker 1>put it that way, and we can I feel like

87
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:36.399
<v Speaker 1>this is maybe this is just a me thing. But

88
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:40.959
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so that we can turn that highly

89
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:43.720
<v Speaker 1>critical I on ourselves.

90
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:44.160
<v Speaker 3>Right.

91
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:50.319
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes that's healthy, sometimes not so much so? How do

92
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:55.160
<v Speaker 1>how do you navigate that? You know, the the inner critic,

93
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:58.480
<v Speaker 1>the voice of the inner critic is present every season

94
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:05.439
<v Speaker 1>every all Zodie act signs spring, winter, summerfall, and it

95
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:10.879
<v Speaker 1>can be quite counterproductive. You know, when we get when

96
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:12.720
<v Speaker 1>we let the perfect be the enemy of the good,

97
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:17.639
<v Speaker 1>or when we find ourselves stopping our own dreams. So

98
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:23.079
<v Speaker 1>how do you suggest we navigate that, particularly under the

99
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.639
<v Speaker 1>scrutiny of Virgo season, which, as you point out, starts

100
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:28.040
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday.

101
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.959
<v Speaker 2>Well, the gift of Virgo is to help us have

102
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:37.800
<v Speaker 2>a critical, discerning perspective. But if we look at like,

103
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:42.199
<v Speaker 2>each sign has an opposite reflection. So the opposite reflection

104
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:45.480
<v Speaker 2>of Virgo is Pisce beats and so part of the

105
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:49.120
<v Speaker 2>reflection of Virgo and Pisces is also to have the

106
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:54.839
<v Speaker 2>critical thought but also the faith to execute positive, uplifting,

107
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:58.879
<v Speaker 2>spiritual perspective of all things around us. It's not just

108
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.079
<v Speaker 2>always black and white, and that is part of the

109
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:05.480
<v Speaker 2>lesson of the Virgo. It is also a perspective of

110
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:10.839
<v Speaker 2>the inner world, the truth, the divine order. Although Virgo

111
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.959
<v Speaker 2>is like the task master of trying to implement order,

112
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:19.879
<v Speaker 2>but there's always a divine order despite the critical perspective

113
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:24.120
<v Speaker 2>virgals may take at times. The gift of Virgo is

114
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:27.439
<v Speaker 2>to help us be organized. It helps us have critical

115
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:32.440
<v Speaker 2>thinking as far as trusting the wisdom within ourselves. The

116
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:36.000
<v Speaker 2>other part of that is to also have that inner

117
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:41.200
<v Speaker 2>connection with the opposite polarity prices to believe, to believe,

118
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:44.240
<v Speaker 2>that there is magic to believe that God's world is

119
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:46.679
<v Speaker 2>always being done, and that we don't have to crack

120
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:51.879
<v Speaker 2>a whip, that we don't have to be overly critical,

121
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:56.320
<v Speaker 2>that we can lean into that clarity we get from

122
00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:00.320
<v Speaker 2>a Virgo perspective and know that that clarity is part

123
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:05.559
<v Speaker 2>of divine order, and to integrate that wisdom of divine

124
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:10.639
<v Speaker 2>order and be on point. So Virgo is very necessary.

125
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:14.879
<v Speaker 2>But the opposite side of Virgo is the Pithian dynamic,

126
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.399
<v Speaker 2>and so it's important as we go into Virgo seasons

127
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:21.639
<v Speaker 2>not to be hard on ourselves, not to be judgmental

128
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:24.679
<v Speaker 2>of other people, but to give ourselves permission to be

129
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.639
<v Speaker 2>discerning and to look to do a three point sixty

130
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:32.480
<v Speaker 2>as opposed to just what's in front of us. Patience

131
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Patience patients.

132
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Not to be critical of others, got it, and the

133
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:42.840
<v Speaker 1>line between discernment and judgment is an important one.

134
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.639
<v Speaker 3>We'll continue the conversation. We will not let Sahara Ali

135
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:48.840
<v Speaker 3>leave us. Yet. It's a mindful Monday.

136
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:51.720
<v Speaker 1>You're always welcome in at eight hundred nine two oh

137
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:55.879
<v Speaker 1>fifteen eighty. I'm Dominique Diafrima for KBLA Talk fifteen eight

138
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:01.080
<v Speaker 1>right now we're talking with Sahara Ali getting our together.

139
00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:04.759
<v Speaker 1>You mentioned, you know, we're talking about Virgo season, which

140
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:10.120
<v Speaker 1>starts Saturday. You mentioned this idea of being self critical

141
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:16.200
<v Speaker 1>or judgmental of others, and Molly Bell took it a

142
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:20.799
<v Speaker 1>step further to the guilt the G word. She says,

143
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:24.360
<v Speaker 1>guilt can be a boog bear. And I think that

144
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:27.799
<v Speaker 1>is part of that. You know, when we get into

145
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:30.679
<v Speaker 1>that super self critical should it would have could an

146
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:35.519
<v Speaker 1>energy And I love that you said in your Mindful

147
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Monday that part of the call to action is to

148
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:42.720
<v Speaker 1>focus on purpose. Is that an antidote to some of

149
00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:44.840
<v Speaker 1>that or how do you see it?

150
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:49.519
<v Speaker 2>Well? To focus on purpose, Basically, it's saying stay in

151
00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:53.679
<v Speaker 2>your name, stay in alignment with the journey of your

152
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:56.519
<v Speaker 2>soul and the karma that your soul came here to

153
00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:59.919
<v Speaker 2>live through good, better and different, and stay at a

154
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.480
<v Speaker 2>people's business. This is not a time to jump into

155
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:07.320
<v Speaker 2>other people's affairs. This is not a time to lose

156
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.440
<v Speaker 2>sight of the manifestation of your wholeness. This is time

157
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:14.960
<v Speaker 2>to build and fill your cup first, because we can't

158
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:16.759
<v Speaker 2>give from an empty cup. When we try to give

159
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.000
<v Speaker 2>to others and our cup is empty, that's chaos. If

160
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.080
<v Speaker 2>we are in our holness, if we are in our light,

161
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:25.039
<v Speaker 2>we can give unconditionally, and we can give with a

162
00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:29.399
<v Speaker 2>with discernments. If your cup is empty, you probably give

163
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.720
<v Speaker 2>more of yourself than you're willing to give. And that's,

164
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:34.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, part of the Virgo season. It's like we

165
00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:39.600
<v Speaker 2>can get overly involved in dynamics that don't serve our

166
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:41.960
<v Speaker 2>highest good, or we can get caught up in somebody

167
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:44.879
<v Speaker 2>else's expectation of who we are as opposed to honoring

168
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:47.519
<v Speaker 2>our own light and our own homeness. And again we

169
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:51.840
<v Speaker 2>go back to the polarity of Virgo and prices. Ices

170
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:56.919
<v Speaker 2>is the dreamer. Virgo is the mental balance between the

171
00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:02.679
<v Speaker 2>dreamer and reality, and so so in that balance there's clarity,

172
00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:07.600
<v Speaker 2>and that clarity then comes back to know thyself, honor thyself,

173
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:12.639
<v Speaker 2>celebrate thyself. And so this Virgo season is very important

174
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:15.159
<v Speaker 2>to stay in your lane and be of service, but

175
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.399
<v Speaker 2>be of service by filling your cup first. Don't give

176
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:23.000
<v Speaker 2>your power away, use discernment before you say yes. Sometimes

177
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:25.480
<v Speaker 2>during this time we will have to say no, to

178
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:28.320
<v Speaker 2>say yes to ourselves so that we can really perform

179
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:31.399
<v Speaker 2>at our best, so that we don't have that Virgo

180
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.840
<v Speaker 2>critical dynamic judging a half job. We want homeleness. That's

181
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:40.559
<v Speaker 2>what Virgo requires, wholeness and clarity and precision. And so

182
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:43.440
<v Speaker 2>we find that by understanding the truth of will, we're

183
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:48.039
<v Speaker 2>standing have an emotional discernment, emotional management, but most of all,

184
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.639
<v Speaker 2>understanding what's your intention And every intention there's an expectation.

185
00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:56.320
<v Speaker 2>In that expectation, there's an acceptance whether or not that

186
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:00.000
<v Speaker 2>intention will be fulfilled, and then there's the reality of relief,

187
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.879
<v Speaker 2>seeing to what is what is truth? What is wisdom?

188
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:06.279
<v Speaker 2>What is in front of you? And how can you

189
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:10.759
<v Speaker 2>change something if you don't change yourself. Yeah, you can't

190
00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:12.879
<v Speaker 2>change either people if you don't change yourself.

191
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:15.360
<v Speaker 3>I want to pivot a little bit.

192
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I love that DJ Black nine O nine wrote out

193
00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:22.559
<v Speaker 1>your affirmation in the chat. I always write it in

194
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:26.879
<v Speaker 1>my notebook. Today with grace, I take my power back,

195
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:30.279
<v Speaker 1>celebrating my wholeness and light. Thank you, DJ Black nine

196
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:32.200
<v Speaker 1>or nine. I want to pivot a little bit. More

197
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:35.840
<v Speaker 1>and more and more science is showing that sitting all.

198
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:38.799
<v Speaker 3>Day is bad for our bodies. And you're a yoga

199
00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:40.440
<v Speaker 3>instruct instructor.

200
00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:43.080
<v Speaker 1>You're one of the most fit people I know in

201
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:45.759
<v Speaker 1>a very deep way. Not I mean, you do have muscles,

202
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:47.840
<v Speaker 1>but just as far as everything, the body being in

203
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:53.120
<v Speaker 1>alignment and flexible and all the stuff we want.

204
00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:54.759
<v Speaker 3>And a lot of.

205
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:57.159
<v Speaker 1>Us do sit all day, whether it's at our jobs

206
00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:00.279
<v Speaker 1>or you know, just out of force of habits on

207
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:04.000
<v Speaker 1>the couch. What is the antidote to that? Because from

208
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:08.519
<v Speaker 1>every article I read, it's really breaking down the well

209
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:11.399
<v Speaker 1>being of the body, the longevity of the body, and

210
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:14.559
<v Speaker 1>the amount of time we can be independent and mobile.

211
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:22.559
<v Speaker 2>So if you really think about what happens to stagnant water,

212
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:31.519
<v Speaker 2>what happens is your car is stalled. It becomes it's

213
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.000
<v Speaker 2>like a complacency, like it doesn't move, it's just stuck.

214
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:40.960
<v Speaker 2>And so movement is so important because movement helps integrate

215
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:44.320
<v Speaker 2>our life force energy, even if we walk, even if

216
00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:47.480
<v Speaker 2>we just stretch our arms. You know, I work with

217
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:51.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of corporations and I bring creative wellness. And

218
00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:54.360
<v Speaker 2>the first thing in creative wellness is that I have

219
00:14:54.559 --> 00:15:01.480
<v Speaker 2>people read which sends oxygen through your body. Breathing through meditation,

220
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:06.000
<v Speaker 2>you're flowing your life force energy. But movement complements the breath,

221
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:11.799
<v Speaker 2>and movement helps to circulate blood. It helps to integrate

222
00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:18.120
<v Speaker 2>energy throughout the nervous system. But it also facilitates the

223
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:22.480
<v Speaker 2>scenobial fluid in our spine that feeds our brain, so

224
00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:26.559
<v Speaker 2>that we can think clearly, we can talk clearly, and

225
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:31.840
<v Speaker 2>we can respond with emotional clarity. So movement is not

226
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:36.559
<v Speaker 2>just for movement's sake, but movement is to integrate wholeness

227
00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:41.879
<v Speaker 2>and to allow the body to function at its ultimate level.

228
00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:44.759
<v Speaker 2>Even if you just walk for a moment, walk up

229
00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:47.360
<v Speaker 2>and down the stairs, or walk around the corner, you know,

230
00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:50.200
<v Speaker 2>or just touch your toes. If you can't touch your toes,

231
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:52.799
<v Speaker 2>just hang over for a while. But even lie on

232
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:54.960
<v Speaker 2>the bed and do some stretches, pull on your knees,

233
00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:58.000
<v Speaker 2>to your chest. But most of all, getting that tunobio

234
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:01.519
<v Speaker 2>fluid moving in your spine, your brain will have clarity,

235
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:05.120
<v Speaker 2>you would have emotional management and discernment, and you'll have

236
00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:09.440
<v Speaker 2>a better mood and it helps fight depression.

237
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:14.200
<v Speaker 1>So when you're talking about that movement, I'm over here

238
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:17.639
<v Speaker 1>in the studio moving my arms. Like she just said,

239
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:20.159
<v Speaker 1>even moving your arms, I mean I sit here for

240
00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:21.840
<v Speaker 1>three hours. I try to run out in the hall

241
00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:24.679
<v Speaker 1>and do a few squats, or do a forward bend

242
00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:27.360
<v Speaker 1>or something even if I have on high heels, which

243
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:31.720
<v Speaker 1>is probably not good. But the thing is, we it

244
00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:36.480
<v Speaker 1>sounds like any little bit helps, and that it. You know,

245
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:40.120
<v Speaker 1>it's not like either I'm Miss Olympia and I work out,

246
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:43.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm Clarissa Shields knocking fools out, or I just sit

247
00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:45.559
<v Speaker 1>on the couch all day. Like every little bit of

248
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:47.440
<v Speaker 1>movement makes a difference.

249
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Right, you don't want dust on your mind and your body.

250
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:54.360
<v Speaker 3>No dust on your mind. I love that.

251
00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:56.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't want dust on your mind and your body.

252
00:16:56.679 --> 00:17:00.159
<v Speaker 2>And the other part is that our heart rate have

253
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:03.679
<v Speaker 2>to move up and down, you know, and breath helps that,

254
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:08.720
<v Speaker 2>but movement stimulates, you know, a good cardio. I mean,

255
00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:13.079
<v Speaker 2>what am I trying to say? Cardiac movement your heart,

256
00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:16.480
<v Speaker 2>get your heart functioning as early. I can't do, do you.

257
00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:19.039
<v Speaker 1>I mean? So, so let's say I have a job

258
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:22.440
<v Speaker 1>where I'm basically sitting six eight ten hours a day.

259
00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:26.839
<v Speaker 1>Is it there a formula like get up every forty

260
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.079
<v Speaker 1>five minutes and dance a jig, or every two hours

261
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:31.519
<v Speaker 1>I walk up and down the hall.

262
00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:33.119
<v Speaker 3>And you know, I.

263
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:36.279
<v Speaker 2>Would say, take some type of movement every thirty to

264
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:39.559
<v Speaker 2>forty minutes. Even if you just walk down the hall,

265
00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:43.279
<v Speaker 2>and even walking. Maybe take the stairs when you come in,

266
00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:47.759
<v Speaker 2>take the stairs when you leave. You know, walk and

267
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:51.480
<v Speaker 2>you know when you have a chance or something, or

268
00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:53.720
<v Speaker 2>even just you know, sit in your chair and like

269
00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:56.799
<v Speaker 2>you said, put some music on, dance a jig, anything

270
00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:59.839
<v Speaker 2>to get the heart pumping and the blood flowing. That

271
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:03.039
<v Speaker 2>your brain is healthy and that you don't fall into

272
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:05.359
<v Speaker 2>a depression chair yoga.

273
00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Yes, the mental health aspect of that is really important too.

274
00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:10.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm glad you mentioned it.

275
00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:15.480
<v Speaker 1>But even let's say I'm an older American, I'm disabled.

276
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:17.480
<v Speaker 1>I know we're almost out of time here, and I

277
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:19.799
<v Speaker 1>can only move a little bit. What you're saying is

278
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:23.920
<v Speaker 1>that moving a little is more than is better, much

279
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:26.559
<v Speaker 1>better for brain and body than not moving at all,

280
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:29.559
<v Speaker 1>even if I'm shaking my shoulders in my chair or

281
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.400
<v Speaker 1>flailing my hands around or whatever, I have capacity to

282
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:34.839
<v Speaker 1>do well.

283
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:38.079
<v Speaker 2>The dynamic is once you raise your arms over your head,

284
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:42.720
<v Speaker 2>it becomes an aerobic movement because the blood has to

285
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:45.279
<v Speaker 2>flow from your heart to your hands and back down

286
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:47.480
<v Speaker 2>to your heart. So even if you just lift your

287
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:50.279
<v Speaker 2>arms up and down, you're stimulating your heart. You do

288
00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:54.240
<v Speaker 2>a few twists left and right, stimulating your spine, even

289
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:56.720
<v Speaker 2>if you lift one leg or with your hands or

290
00:18:56.759 --> 00:19:00.200
<v Speaker 2>even by itself, you are getting the blood flowing through

291
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:03.839
<v Speaker 2>your body, which is so important because having blood flow

292
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:07.519
<v Speaker 2>through your body since oxygen to your brain, and then

293
00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:13.279
<v Speaker 2>your brain has clarity and again fighting depression, anxiety, flass,

294
00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:16.240
<v Speaker 2>expectations appearing real. You know, it takes you out of

295
00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:19.240
<v Speaker 2>a delusional state because you have to breathe, and breath

296
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:22.119
<v Speaker 2>is the key to life, and movement is part of

297
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:24.119
<v Speaker 2>having the breath move through your body.

298
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:27.559
<v Speaker 1>Well, thank you for that reminder. I'm about to go

321
00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:51.319
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for a great start to our Monday morning.

322
00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:55.839
<v Speaker 2>Thank you Dominique, Thank you KBLA family. Remember as you think,

323
00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:57.839
<v Speaker 2>so shall it be? Think about what you want now

324
00:20:57.920 --> 00:20:58.640
<v Speaker 2>what you don't want?

325
00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:01.680
<v Speaker 1>All right, news, traffickings, sports. Then we're back only right here.

326
00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:02.799
<v Speaker 3>As per usual.

327
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:07.200
<v Speaker 1>This presidential cycle, I guess we'll call it the news.

328
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:12.079
<v Speaker 1>The news cycle is like a spin class. It's going faster,

329
00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:16.400
<v Speaker 1>faster and faster. If you want to unpack, understand, unboxed,

330
00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:21.200
<v Speaker 1>or protest, analyze, share, you're always welcome to do so

331
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:23.279
<v Speaker 1>here we do what we do.

332
00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:24.079
<v Speaker 3>Encourage you.

333
00:21:24.079 --> 00:21:26.680
<v Speaker 1>You can call me at eight hundred nine to oh

334
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:30.440
<v Speaker 1>fifteen eighty eight hundred nine to oh fifteen eighty and

335
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:34.640
<v Speaker 1>uh yeah, let's let's figure it out. It is a

336
00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:38.039
<v Speaker 1>mindful Monday. We always like to check in on national

337
00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:46.960
<v Speaker 1>and international politics. So I guess the presidential son in

338
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:54.480
<v Speaker 1>law is meeting today with Benjamin Netanyahu, who is obviously

339
00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:58.200
<v Speaker 1>the Prime Minister of Israel. It just never ceases to

340
00:21:58.279 --> 00:22:04.200
<v Speaker 1>amaze me. That's somebody who's unelected, not an expert. Uh

341
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:06.920
<v Speaker 1>and just yeah, I mean, we don't want to talk

342
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:11.119
<v Speaker 1>about DEI. Well it's not even DEI. I guess it's

343
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:15.799
<v Speaker 1>more like nepotism. But anyway, he's holding talks with Prime

344
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Minister Benjamin NETANYAHUO today and reportedly met yesterday with a

345
00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:28.640
<v Speaker 1>leader of Hamas, and that is rather rich to me.

346
00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Kushner is the one who made the comment that Gaza

347
00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:37.839
<v Speaker 1>was prime beach property. He also happens to be a

348
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:46.319
<v Speaker 1>very conservative Zionist Jewish American whose father is the ambassador

349
00:22:46.440 --> 00:22:49.839
<v Speaker 1>US ambassador to France, who has made tons of anti

350
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:56.079
<v Speaker 1>Muslim comment terry. Nevertheless, that's who the Trump administration decided

351
00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:59.319
<v Speaker 1>would be a good person to send to talk with

352
00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:06.359
<v Speaker 1>Hamas and now Netanyahu so well, let's let me put

353
00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:10.200
<v Speaker 1>it this way. I will hope that a miracle happens

354
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:16.599
<v Speaker 1>because the people of Gaza, the Palestinian people, certainly have

355
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:24.559
<v Speaker 1>had to bear more than most nations, individuals, ethnicities ever

356
00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:28.680
<v Speaker 1>will in the course of a lifetime, with the pounding,

357
00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:34.640
<v Speaker 1>the genocide, the indiscriminate killing of women and children, and

358
00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:39.359
<v Speaker 1>the total demolition of their infrastructure on the past couple

359
00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:43.640
<v Speaker 1>of years. So you know, I don't care if Kushner

360
00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:44.039
<v Speaker 1>can do.

361
00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:45.640
<v Speaker 3>It, make it happen.

362
00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I just.

363
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:49.240
<v Speaker 3>Seems like a stretch.

364
00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:54.599
<v Speaker 1>Meanwhile, the President has said that he's ordered the Pentagon

365
00:23:54.680 --> 00:23:58.200
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday, and the Resident as I typically call him,

366
00:23:58.200 --> 00:24:01.200
<v Speaker 1>because he does live at the White House most of

367
00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:03.279
<v Speaker 1>the time when he's not at mar A Lago, that

368
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:05.960
<v Speaker 1>he's saying, well, he's ordering them to scale back their

369
00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:10.640
<v Speaker 1>military exercises with South Korea because he says South Korea

370
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:15.000
<v Speaker 1>is not helping enough with the war against Iran, and

371
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.920
<v Speaker 1>because he has such a good friend and Kim Jong un.

372
00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:23.519
<v Speaker 1>That's a thing about the President and his sort of

373
00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:29.000
<v Speaker 1>strange social relationships is that he seems to give them benefits,

374
00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:33.519
<v Speaker 1>like Putin gets benefits from being his friend. But we

375
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.319
<v Speaker 1>don't seem to get any benefits from being Putin's friend.

376
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:41.960
<v Speaker 1>In any case, he's saying, you know, Kim Jong un

377
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:45.160
<v Speaker 1>is my buddy, and y'all are not doing enough against Iran.

378
00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:49.559
<v Speaker 1>Therefore I have instructed this is a quote Secretary of

379
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:56.519
<v Speaker 1>Warte Hegseth, to reduce military joint exercises. Well, okay, I

380
00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:01.559
<v Speaker 1>mean it is what it is. Actually would lower the

381
00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:08.759
<v Speaker 1>amount of greenhouse gases by some some degree. So I'll

382
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:19.400
<v Speaker 1>take it, even though the logic is stunning. And also

383
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:25.720
<v Speaker 1>this morning on the war front, the President is threatening

384
00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:31.200
<v Speaker 1>to bomb Oman. He said that they are getting in

385
00:25:31.240 --> 00:25:33.759
<v Speaker 1>the way of US efforts to reopen the Straight of

386
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Horn moves, They're getting in the way of the peace

387
00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:42.759
<v Speaker 1>process with Iran, and therefore, if they don't stop, according

388
00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:44.920
<v Speaker 1>to the President, the Resident.

389
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:46.880
<v Speaker 3>Will bomb Oman.

390
00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:56.799
<v Speaker 1>It's just I think dangerous to be hollering about who

391
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:00.640
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna bomb, no matter who it is. That's a

392
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:07.119
<v Speaker 1>whole problem. And Oman, you know, it's trying to expand

393
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:10.359
<v Speaker 1>a war when you really can't even handle the range

394
00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:13.400
<v Speaker 1>of the scope of the war as it is now.

395
00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:21.799
<v Speaker 1>The Iranian the spokesman for the Revolutionary Guard, General Houssein

396
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:28.079
<v Speaker 1>Mobeihi on Monday said that President Trump is delusional that

397
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:32.000
<v Speaker 1>there are no back channel discussions for peace. He says, quote,

398
00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:36.119
<v Speaker 1>there are no talks taking place between the IRGC and

399
00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:39.480
<v Speaker 1>the Americans, and this lie by Trump is merely fantasy.

400
00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy is caused by the delusions and nightmares he has

401
00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:48.279
<v Speaker 1>suffered as a result of defeat and desperation.

402
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:49.000
<v Speaker 3>In the war.

403
00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:53.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it sounds like negotiations are going swimmingly.

404
00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:54.880
<v Speaker 3>Again.

405
00:26:55.400 --> 00:27:00.720
<v Speaker 1>I will continue to pray for peace, but doesn't doesn't

406
00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:07.079
<v Speaker 1>look good right now. Doesn't look good for the United States. Meanwhile,

407
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:11.200
<v Speaker 1>you've got these Navy soldiers stuck on the USS Lincoln,

408
00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:20.119
<v Speaker 1>and even you know, some top military brass under heg

409
00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:25.839
<v Speaker 1>Seth are saying that there are mental health concerns that

410
00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:30.960
<v Speaker 1>are a high priority for those those soldiers because of burnout,

411
00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:35.279
<v Speaker 1>because of the terrible conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln.

412
00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:42.759
<v Speaker 1>At the same time, the Secretary of War as he

413
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:46.160
<v Speaker 1>likes to call himself, as the position is actually called

414
00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Defense Secretary, he's kind of dismissing this and going, yeah, well,

415
00:27:50.240 --> 00:27:54.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, some deployments are longer than others. But apparently

416
00:27:54.720 --> 00:28:01.519
<v Speaker 1>that ship, the USS Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln has had their

417
00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:05.720
<v Speaker 1>deployment stretched out more than a month over at seven

418
00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:10.079
<v Speaker 1>month original schedule, which was already long. And there are

419
00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:19.279
<v Speaker 1>food and supply shortages, water contamination, sewage problems, a couple

420
00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:25.079
<v Speaker 1>of attempted suicides on the ship. So easy for heg Seth,

421
00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:30.200
<v Speaker 1>with his powdered face and hair sprayed quoife, to sit

422
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:35.200
<v Speaker 1>there and dismiss the concerns of soldiers who are probably

423
00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:43.240
<v Speaker 1>living among poop, smells, bad food, not enough food, and

424
00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:48.839
<v Speaker 1>terrible conditions. At least two soldiers have tried to jump overboard,

425
00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:51.960
<v Speaker 1>and the wife of one of those soldiers said it

426
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:55.960
<v Speaker 1>was because he was completely burnt out. But heg Seth says, oh,

427
00:28:56.000 --> 00:29:01.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, some deployments go longer than others. Meanwhile, they're

428
00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:07.759
<v Speaker 1>sending another ship over there to relieve them. The George

429
00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:12.359
<v Speaker 1>Washington is going to relieve the Lincoln, which apparently leaves

430
00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:18.160
<v Speaker 1>the entire Pacific Ocean side of the US of America

431
00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:23.799
<v Speaker 1>without a battleship, which is I think very highly unusual,

432
00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:31.279
<v Speaker 1>uh so not looking really amazing. And you know, I

433
00:29:31.319 --> 00:29:34.319
<v Speaker 1>don't say that in a celebratory way. I think it's

434
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:37.519
<v Speaker 1>terrible for our soldiers, and I don't love that we

435
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:43.680
<v Speaker 1>are running through weaponry like some people change their underwear,

436
00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:52.799
<v Speaker 1>polluting the planet, bombing and killing and all while losing

437
00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:56.720
<v Speaker 1>all that. I've always been a piece nick y'all know

438
00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:00.960
<v Speaker 1>that I'm a peace person. I pray for I don't

439
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:04.000
<v Speaker 1>even like I don't like the proxy wars. I don't

440
00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:08.680
<v Speaker 1>like the cold wars, the hot wars. But this is

441
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:13.599
<v Speaker 1>what I would call all out worst case scenario, all

442
00:30:13.640 --> 00:30:17.160
<v Speaker 1>around worst case scenario eight hundred nine two oh fifteen

443
00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:18.960
<v Speaker 1>eighty eight hundred nine to oh fifteen eighty.

444
00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:20.720
<v Speaker 3>If you want to weigh in on any of this,

445
00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:22.200
<v Speaker 3>Stephen A.

446
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:27.559
<v Speaker 1>Smith declaring war on the National Association of Black Journalists,

447
00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:31.359
<v Speaker 1>tell you why when we come forward on KBLA Talk

448
00:30:31.440 --> 00:30:32.240
<v Speaker 1>fifteen eighty.

449
00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:33.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Well, Stephen A.

450
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Smith says they're about to feel his wrath the National

451
00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:42.759
<v Speaker 1>Association of Black Journalists. He says he's been holding back,

452
00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:47.160
<v Speaker 1>but now it is on. And why does he say that?

453
00:30:47.319 --> 00:30:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Why does Stephen A. Smith, cultural critic and famed anti

454
00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:58.400
<v Speaker 1>black black man have his sight set on the National

455
00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Association of Black Journalists. Well, Saturday night they had their

456
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Excellent Excellence in Black Journalism Awards gala, and they started

457
00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:15.480
<v Speaker 1>something new, UH the thumbs Down Award. They gave thumbs

458
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:19.680
<v Speaker 1>down award to a number of individuals and organizations, among

459
00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:22.680
<v Speaker 1>them ESPN. They call them a personality.

460
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.400
<v Speaker 3>Is that what that is? Personality? Stephen A. Smith.

461
00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:30.720
<v Speaker 1>They he got the thumbs down award along with the

462
00:31:31.160 --> 00:31:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Washington Post, CBS News, uh FCC chairman Brendan Carr, which

463
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:41.519
<v Speaker 1>I thought was rather bold but also true of them,

464
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:46.400
<v Speaker 1>and the media executive UH Dewan McCoy, who I'm not

465
00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:51.279
<v Speaker 1>as familiar with. In any case, these were thumbs down awards.

466
00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:51.720
<v Speaker 3>Stephen A.

467
00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:55.359
<v Speaker 1>Smith one got one, and he was pretty mad. The

468
00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:59.480
<v Speaker 1>president of the na b J, the National President, Aaron Haynes, said, look,

469
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:04.359
<v Speaker 1>we are confronting people in systems whose choices make your

470
00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:08.640
<v Speaker 1>jobs harder, and it's not just a thumbs down, but

471
00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:12.000
<v Speaker 1>they're calling on them to do better. Well Stephen A.

472
00:32:12.119 --> 00:32:15.799
<v Speaker 1>Smith's he didn't take it lightly. He said that he

473
00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:21.279
<v Speaker 1>has been keeping the gloves off and that now it's on.

474
00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:23.559
<v Speaker 3>He's about to go after the NABJ.

475
00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:29.559
<v Speaker 1>And one of the reasons the NABJ called him out

476
00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:31.480
<v Speaker 1>for the thumb down a world word in the first place,

477
00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:33.400
<v Speaker 1>is that they say he has a pattern in his

478
00:32:33.480 --> 00:32:39.400
<v Speaker 1>public commentary specifically of attacking black women, which you know

479
00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:43.359
<v Speaker 1>you don't need an AI scrape to figure that out.

480
00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:46.839
<v Speaker 1>In fact, he does talk smack about black women all

481
00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:51.079
<v Speaker 1>the time. It's I don't listen to him all the time,

482
00:32:51.079 --> 00:32:53.480
<v Speaker 1>but I hear it so much that I'm like, Oh,

483
00:32:53.559 --> 00:32:56.200
<v Speaker 1>who hurts you? I mean, that's really what it's giving.

484
00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:59.359
<v Speaker 1>It's giving who hurts you? They say he has an

485
00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:03.519
<v Speaker 1>established he has established a recurring pattern of disparaging commentary

486
00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:06.559
<v Speaker 1>directed at prominent Black women across politics.

487
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:08.599
<v Speaker 3>Arts, and media.

488
00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, Stephen as not having it. He says he's coming

489
00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:18.160
<v Speaker 1>for them, and I think it is pretty funny because

490
00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:23.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, when did he not come for them? When

491
00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:26.680
<v Speaker 1>has he supported the NABJ, When has he been supportive

492
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:28.400
<v Speaker 1>of black anybody?

493
00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:31.000
<v Speaker 3>There must be somebody, But.

494
00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:36.039
<v Speaker 1>Mostly what I hear him doing is attacking and disparaging

495
00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:41.279
<v Speaker 1>Black people, black women, African American leadership, and organizations like

496
00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:45.759
<v Speaker 1>the NABJ. So I'm not sure why they would be

497
00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:50.400
<v Speaker 1>afraid and cower when he's basically saying he is going

498
00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:55.440
<v Speaker 1>to keep doing what he always does, which is unfairly

499
00:33:56.359 --> 00:34:00.960
<v Speaker 1>and harshly criticizing Black people, black women, black in institutions,

500
00:34:03.359 --> 00:34:09.000
<v Speaker 1>and so I mean, it'll be interesting to watch. If anything,

501
00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I think I will end up bringing more attention to

502
00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:14.719
<v Speaker 1>the National Association a Black Journalist, just as Trump did

503
00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:18.679
<v Speaker 1>when he went in on them. But I you know,

504
00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:22.119
<v Speaker 1>I just think it's delusional for this man to think

505
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:26.840
<v Speaker 1>he's been holding his tongue. Yogi Fish says, I don't

506
00:34:26.840 --> 00:34:30.000
<v Speaker 1>know why my sister Allison did that at the NABJ,

507
00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Probably because if we don't Yogi Fish, if we don't

508
00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:40.599
<v Speaker 1>call these folks out, we normalize it like it's regular,

509
00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:45.280
<v Speaker 1>normal and acceptable for one of the most black, prominent

510
00:34:46.280 --> 00:34:49.880
<v Speaker 1>and well listened to black men in America to be

511
00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:54.360
<v Speaker 1>constantly disparaging black women. If we just give him a pass,

512
00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:57.159
<v Speaker 1>give him an award, Oh, don't take notice. I feel

513
00:34:57.199 --> 00:34:59.960
<v Speaker 1>like we normalize that, and that's not what we want

514
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:02.559
<v Speaker 1>to do. It's just the same reason that I'm always

515
00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:08.920
<v Speaker 1>calling out the prevarications aka untruth aka lies of this

516
00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:12.239
<v Speaker 1>current resident, because if we kind of just go along

517
00:35:12.280 --> 00:35:15.360
<v Speaker 1>with it and close our eyes, close our ears and

518
00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:19.800
<v Speaker 1>hope it just will stop in another two years, can

519
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:22.159
<v Speaker 1>just hold on for two and a quarter or more years,

520
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:25.519
<v Speaker 1>everything will be okay. But that's not how it works.

521
00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:29.400
<v Speaker 1>We have to call it out of the wise, it

522
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:33.920
<v Speaker 1>becomes normalized, and the next level of evil demons just

523
00:35:33.960 --> 00:35:37.039
<v Speaker 1>builds on top of that level of evil demons. We

524
00:35:37.159 --> 00:35:40.559
<v Speaker 1>have to chip away at the disrespect, the untruths and

525
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:43.400
<v Speaker 1>all of the bs. I feel like we have to,

526
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:49.639
<v Speaker 1>and you know, and so I commend them for doing that.

527
00:35:50.199 --> 00:35:53.280
<v Speaker 1>And I do believe that even though he's threatening people

528
00:35:53.320 --> 00:35:56.000
<v Speaker 1>and saying, well, now I'm gonna really tear you down.

529
00:35:56.320 --> 00:35:57.159
<v Speaker 3>Stephen A.

530
00:35:57.239 --> 00:36:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Smith may end up unwittingly helping the cause, unwittingly.

531
00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:08.920
<v Speaker 3>Helping to.

532
00:36:10.559 --> 00:36:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Bring attention to his own stupidity by organizations and individuals

533
00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:22.880
<v Speaker 1>who who undermine and disparage us all the time. And

534
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:26.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, honestly, that makes me want to join the NABJ. Actually,

535
00:36:26.440 --> 00:36:30.880
<v Speaker 1>I already promised, I already promised shar Jozelle that I

536
00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:34.039
<v Speaker 1>would and I will, girl, I will, and I'm gonna

537
00:36:34.039 --> 00:36:36.079
<v Speaker 1>do it real quick because I know your presidency is

538
00:36:36.159 --> 00:36:40.519
<v Speaker 1>almost over here in La Juwan McCoy is the owner

539
00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:46.519
<v Speaker 1>and president of Circle City Broadcasting, which is owns this

540
00:36:46.639 --> 00:36:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Indianapolis TV station called Wish TV. He got the thumbs down.

541
00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:55.079
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't familiar with him, but what they're saying is

542
00:36:55.119 --> 00:37:01.519
<v Speaker 1>that he consistently mistreats black journalists. And if that's the criteria,

543
00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:06.599
<v Speaker 1>we could add a long list of thumbs down awards.

544
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:12.719
<v Speaker 1>But they're talking about workplace equity, newsroom, cultural and culture,

545
00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:16.159
<v Speaker 1>and professional accountability. And of course there are tons of

546
00:37:16.159 --> 00:37:21.320
<v Speaker 1>corporations that have this problem also. But keep in mind

547
00:37:21.320 --> 00:37:25.440
<v Speaker 1>that the National Association of Black Journalisms is specifically focused

548
00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:29.159
<v Speaker 1>on journalism, as they should be. Washington Post getting called

549
00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:32.920
<v Speaker 1>out for what they call a reorganization of their newsroom,

550
00:37:33.159 --> 00:37:39.480
<v Speaker 1>which really amounted to cutting massive numbers of reporters, particularly

551
00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:46.960
<v Speaker 1>those reporters who do investigative journalism and reporters covering race identity,

552
00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:54.599
<v Speaker 1>white supremacy extremism protests. This appears to be the flexing

553
00:37:54.679 --> 00:37:58.880
<v Speaker 1>of the broligarchy. As we know Jeff Bezos, the billionaire

554
00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:03.280
<v Speaker 1>who spent fifty five million on his own wedding last

555
00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:08.039
<v Speaker 1>year but cannot pay decent wages to his warehouse workers.

556
00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:12.519
<v Speaker 1>That guy owns it. He has cut back on reporters

557
00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:18.360
<v Speaker 1>covering what they call the public interest beats and cut

558
00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:22.039
<v Speaker 1>back on journalists of color and black reporters. So that's

559
00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:25.880
<v Speaker 1>why they got the thumbs down. And again this makes

560
00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:31.199
<v Speaker 1>me want to cancel my subscription. They do still have

561
00:38:31.280 --> 00:38:33.840
<v Speaker 1>some good reporters and good journalism. That's one of the

562
00:38:33.840 --> 00:38:37.559
<v Speaker 1>reasons I haven't done it yet, but the NABJ call

563
00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:43.400
<v Speaker 1>out does make me think perhaps it's time again. If

564
00:38:43.440 --> 00:38:46.199
<v Speaker 1>we don't say anything, if we don't do the call outs,

565
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:52.639
<v Speaker 1>who will. And that is why I am one hundred

566
00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:57.079
<v Speaker 1>percent behind them. CBS again the same thing. The changes

567
00:38:57.119 --> 00:39:00.320
<v Speaker 1>in the newsroom, putting this Bari Weiss person who is

568
00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:05.760
<v Speaker 1>a far right wing conservative with no kind of experience,

569
00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:10.519
<v Speaker 1>ruining and trashing sixty minutes and paying off the president

570
00:39:11.039 --> 00:39:15.440
<v Speaker 1>all need to be called out. Brendan Carr, the activist

571
00:39:15.559 --> 00:39:19.719
<v Speaker 1>republican right wing Trump supporter who is now over the

572
00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Federal Communications Commission and going after journalists who speak their

573
00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:31.559
<v Speaker 1>mind and do their job. These callouts are important because

574
00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:39.280
<v Speaker 1>otherwise we normalize this sort of authoritarian state sponsored journalism,

575
00:39:40.320 --> 00:39:46.719
<v Speaker 1>censorship and the purchasing of purchasing, in control of the

576
00:39:46.760 --> 00:39:54.440
<v Speaker 1>news apparatus by these broligarchs, these billionaire tech bros who

577
00:39:54.480 --> 00:40:03.199
<v Speaker 1>are currently have our federal government block Let's not normalize that.

578
00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:08.480
<v Speaker 1>All right, Comedian del Harrison is here and we are

579
00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:09.960
<v Speaker 1>going to do a big old pivot.

580
00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:11.760
<v Speaker 3>We're talking. We'll get a little mess you.

581
00:40:11.760 --> 00:40:16.159
<v Speaker 1>We're going to talk about celibacy, a choice or a punishment.

582
00:40:16.559 --> 00:40:20.440
<v Speaker 1>That's next on KBLA Talk fifteen to eighty
