1 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:17,700 Adam Curry: Mofax for August 12, 2019 This is episode number 2 00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:21,920 three. It's mofax with Adam curry. How you doing? Mo, I'm 3 00:00:22,580 --> 00:00:23,840 Moe Factz: doing great. How you doing Adam? 4 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,040 Adam Curry: I'm doing good, man. It's weeks just seem to fly by. 5 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,460 Moe Factz: I know I look forward to Monday every Monday of every 6 00:00:31,460 --> 00:00:31,700 week, 7 00:00:32,419 --> 00:00:34,219 Adam Curry: the first Monday of every week, like the second 8 00:00:34,219 --> 00:00:38,119 Thursday, something like that. Yeah, right. I have a couple of 9 00:00:38,119 --> 00:00:43,239 up. First of all, apologies about the the iTunes for the 10 00:00:43,239 --> 00:00:47,499 show being available on iTunes, I submitted it the RSS feed. And 11 00:00:47,559 --> 00:00:51,339 really weird, somehow the account is so old I haven't 12 00:00:51,339 --> 00:00:56,979 updated a podcast since, I think since no agenda started 11 years 13 00:00:56,979 --> 00:01:00,719 ago, and so somehow it was linked to a Dutch version of my 14 00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:05,159 Apple account. They got really confused, so I have to resubmit 15 00:01:05,159 --> 00:01:08,819 that. It should be searchable in the in the iTunes directory 16 00:01:08,879 --> 00:01:12,839 sometime this week. So that's on me. Also, 17 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:18,900 Moe Factz: you can find the RSV RSS feed@mofax.com Yes, we it's 18 00:01:18,900 --> 00:01:22,160 been added to the web page, so go check that out as well. 19 00:01:22,279 --> 00:01:25,639 Adam Curry: Definitely. And I got some good responses on the 20 00:01:25,639 --> 00:01:28,639 last show. How about you? 21 00:01:30,140 --> 00:01:35,120 Moe Factz: I got good responses, and then I also got some I was 22 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,840 being a little hard on the female, so I hope to bring some 23 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,440 balance to the show on this episode. Yo, what 24 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:42,880 Adam Curry: did you do? What did you do wrong? 25 00:01:43,479 --> 00:01:49,119 Moe Factz: Um, I just told what told the truth, but I think they 26 00:01:49,119 --> 00:01:52,899 saw it as one sided. But I just wanted to dedicate the majority 27 00:01:52,899 --> 00:01:56,199 of the show are just focusing on how they're, um, how they're 28 00:01:56,199 --> 00:02:00,099 doing, uh, identity politics. And with that, you have to focus 29 00:02:00,099 --> 00:02:00,879 on the groups that are 30 00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:03,239 Adam Curry: being targeted. Yes, yes, yes, yes, indeed. This was 31 00:02:03,239 --> 00:02:07,259 the whole conversation about how political parties are trying to 32 00:02:07,259 --> 00:02:13,199 split black American men and women correct and really almost 33 00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:16,319 pit them against each other. What the feedback I got is a lot 34 00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:19,679 of people who had no idea about the man, about the house rules, 35 00:02:19,679 --> 00:02:24,739 the 68 welfare. A lot of people were very they said, Wow, that 36 00:02:24,739 --> 00:02:27,799 was eye opening. They liked that a lot, right? 37 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,380 Moe Factz: And I just think that was just just a knee jerk 38 00:02:30,380 --> 00:02:32,960 reaction, thinking now it was going to be one sided, but that 39 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,100 was just the first show that we went into identity politics. So 40 00:02:37,100 --> 00:02:39,860 yeah, on this show, we hope to bring a little balance, all 41 00:02:39,860 --> 00:02:44,980 right, to show how the The elite are targeting the black 42 00:02:44,980 --> 00:02:49,060 community on both sides of the gender argument, and using the 43 00:02:49,060 --> 00:02:51,580 Boulet both male and female. Okay, 44 00:02:52,060 --> 00:02:55,300 Adam Curry: well, I'm ready. Let's get the journey started. 45 00:02:55,660 --> 00:02:58,960 Moe Factz: All right, so I just to finish off where we were 46 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:05,220 headed last week, just showing on the with Kamala Harris. And I 47 00:03:05,220 --> 00:03:08,580 like to say, first of all, me and Kamala Harris have a will 48 00:03:08,580 --> 00:03:12,660 always be tied at the hip of each other, because she kind of 49 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:20,160 got me into this whole podcasting, slash speaking out. 50 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,420 Because, as you know, I started out on the Star Report with star 51 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,060 on his YouTube channel. Everybody should go check that 52 00:03:26,060 --> 00:03:30,080 out. And one of the first call in shows was the whole Jussie 53 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,320 Smollett, um, case, ah, which 54 00:03:33,380 --> 00:03:37,280 Adam Curry: was, which was had ties to a lot of Chicago elite, 55 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,920 but also to Kamala Harris, exactly. 56 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,540 Moe Factz: So that's how I got started, because I've actually a 57 00:03:43,540 --> 00:03:48,100 month ahead of time, I pointed out her connection with the 58 00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:51,520 whole alleged collect, let me say that alleged connection with 59 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,580 the whole anti lynching bill that was time, understand, time 60 00:03:54,580 --> 00:03:57,700 just so perfect with his actions, which Cory Booker was 61 00:03:57,700 --> 00:04:02,640 also a part of Right, correct. So, and what struck me with that 62 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:07,260 was, with her tweet, it came out so fast. Usually, politicians 63 00:04:07,260 --> 00:04:11,520 are very measured when they put their support or, you know, put 64 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,420 their support behind people. But immediately those two came out 65 00:04:15,420 --> 00:04:20,780 and said, This looks like a modern day lynching. So in 66 00:04:20,780 --> 00:04:24,920 hindsight, we know that that was a poorly timed tweet, and I 67 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,240 would like to the first clip going into NBC panel MOX Kamala 68 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,880 Harris for that tweet. All 69 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,400 Unknown: right, new amid new revelations in the case 70 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,020 involving the alleged attack on Empire actor Jesse Smollett. 71 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,040 Democratic presidential candidates appear to be backing 72 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,180 away from their initial statements on january 29 Senator 73 00:04:46,180 --> 00:04:49,600 Kamala Harris called the alleged attack on Smollett an attempted 74 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,780 modern day lynching. Here's what she said about that tweet 75 00:04:52,780 --> 00:04:53,500 yesterday. 76 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,080 Which tweet? What tweet about saying that it is a modern day 77 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,000 lynching that. Like, sorry. 78 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,240 Okay, so I will say this about that case. I think that the 79 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,560 facts are still unfolding. 80 00:05:13,620 --> 00:05:15,480 Adam Curry: By the way, I just got to stop this. When any 81 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,600 politician says I'll say this about that, they're stalling for 82 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,240 time, like, I got to put the story together. Great, sorry. 83 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:24,980 Jesse Smolin, 84 00:05:28,940 --> 00:05:32,000 Unknown: okay, so I will say this about that case. I think 85 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,720 that the facts are still unfolding, and I'm very 86 00:05:37,340 --> 00:05:39,080 concerned about obviously, 87 00:05:40,460 --> 00:05:43,000 can we just say it? Because that's what we used to do on 88 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,880 this show, okay, can we just say it? We were just one day. 89 00:05:45,940 --> 00:05:47,140 I don't know if I want what we 90 00:05:47,140 --> 00:05:51,340 know. I just talked about first instincts. Okay, she looked like 91 00:05:51,700 --> 00:05:54,940 she actually didn't know about the tweet and no, and like she 92 00:05:54,940 --> 00:05:58,240 was looking around at a staff member going, What the did? Why 93 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:03,300 tweet that? I'm not making any excuses for whatsoever. It's the 94 00:06:03,300 --> 00:06:03,900 box, okay. Can 95 00:06:03,900 --> 00:06:05,220 Moe Factz: we stop? Right there? Can 96 00:06:05,220 --> 00:06:06,480 Adam Curry: we stop? Sure, sure. 97 00:06:07,020 --> 00:06:11,340 Moe Factz: He says we're not making any excuses for but makes 98 00:06:11,340 --> 00:06:13,620 the excuse that she didn't see in the tweet. Oh, yeah. 99 00:06:13,620 --> 00:06:15,600 Adam Curry: Well, what he's saying is it looks like a 100 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,060 staffer did the tweet, right? 101 00:06:18,540 --> 00:06:23,180 Moe Factz: Um, and that's why I chose this as the intro clip 102 00:06:23,180 --> 00:06:25,820 into this whole segment of the show that we're going to talk 103 00:06:25,820 --> 00:06:30,080 about how the media has been handling Kamala with kid gloves 104 00:06:30,500 --> 00:06:35,780 and protecting her. The title of this actual clip on YouTube is 105 00:06:35,780 --> 00:06:42,400 MSNBC panel MOX Kamala. But as you continue to listen, they 106 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,420 defend Kamala by saying, oh, you know, some staffer did it, but 107 00:06:46,420 --> 00:06:48,280 you can continue with the clip now, you 108 00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:51,640 Unknown: tweet that up. I'm not not making any excuses for 109 00:06:51,700 --> 00:06:54,700 whatsoever. It's the buck stops with her. Yeah, 110 00:06:54,820 --> 00:06:57,280 I'm not gonna say tell going through her look at 111 00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:00,900 somebody and you and she did, Mike, it looked like she didn't 112 00:07:00,900 --> 00:07:01,920 even know that. Tweet 113 00:07:02,820 --> 00:07:03,660 me, yeah, I 114 00:07:03,660 --> 00:07:05,820 got to say, though you're correct, 115 00:07:09,060 --> 00:07:11,760 as well as you can do with a humming, a hum 116 00:07:13,140 --> 00:07:15,900 in a moment, the turn to get more time 117 00:07:18,420 --> 00:07:24,020 as a former Senate staffer. I would really throw the staff 118 00:07:24,020 --> 00:07:26,420 under the bus here, because, you know, that's one of those 119 00:07:26,420 --> 00:07:28,700 moments where the senator was asked the question, looks the 120 00:07:28,700 --> 00:07:29,600 staff. It's like, 121 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,660 hey, really think these candidates are tweeting 24/7, 122 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,200 no, they have people tweeting for them. And let me just tell 123 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,560 you stop. Only tweet when you're tweeting. It's not going to 124 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,480 work. Otherwise, you have people tweeting for you. Oh, it is not 125 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,660 helpful, and something like that will happen. And she did tweet 126 00:07:46,660 --> 00:07:49,120 that she is going to have to completely roll it back and take 127 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,780 ownership for it, because we don't know what happened, just 128 00:07:52,780 --> 00:07:55,240 like with many other cases we are talking about in this 129 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,300 country, where there are allegations, that is what they 130 00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:02,940 are, accusations. We don't know what happened. And this is a 131 00:08:02,940 --> 00:08:06,120 problem. Everyone thinks mob rule is where we're going to go. 132 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,760 It's not going to work in the elections, not going to work for 133 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:09,720 Democrats. 134 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,280 Adam Curry: Just for background. The name of her bill, the bill 135 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,420 she had with Cory Booker was justice for victims of lynching 136 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,920 act, legislation that would criminalize lynching for the 137 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,380 first time in American history, the motion was passed in the 138 00:08:24,380 --> 00:08:31,040 House. And that this article is from february 14, 2019, so that 139 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,460 was a pretty fresh bill. I don't think it had passed at the at 140 00:08:34,460 --> 00:08:36,800 that at that time. No, 141 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,560 Moe Factz: it hadn't passed at the time. And I think this, this 142 00:08:39,560 --> 00:08:42,880 just, I know we're going back a little ways, but with this 143 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,820 podcast, we haven't covered this issue, but it's very important, 144 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:51,520 um, with Jesse smully, for people that don't know he left 145 00:08:51,820 --> 00:08:58,240 the the noose around his neck, yes, uh, as a symbol of 146 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:03,660 lynching. And she, I don't know if she knew about this or she 147 00:09:03,660 --> 00:09:07,680 didn't know about this, but she took that opportunity to say, 148 00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:12,300 look, see, this is a modern day lynching. In her tweet that now 149 00:09:12,300 --> 00:09:17,580 the MSNBC has said that her staffers allegedly must have 150 00:09:17,580 --> 00:09:21,800 written so it's like and like I said, going back, the title of 151 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,180 this video says they're mocking her, yeah, but it seems like 152 00:09:26,180 --> 00:09:29,780 they're defending her. And the reason why I wanted to use this 153 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,520 as the jumping off point is like, as I said before we we've 154 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:39,140 seen the media protect her over and over again, and we even saw 155 00:09:39,140 --> 00:09:42,760 this with the Tulsi Gabbard, 156 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:43,660 Unknown: yes, 157 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,900 Adam Curry: yes, the media immediately was happy to comply 158 00:09:46,900 --> 00:09:51,160 with her messaging, which was, oh, yeah, well, you work for 159 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:51,520 Putin, 160 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,320 Moe Factz: right? So let's go get into Tulsi attacks. Okay, 161 00:09:56,380 --> 00:09:57,400 so, so let's talk 162 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,120 Unknown: about the debates last night, because you had quite. In 163 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,620 a moment with Senator Kamala Harris calling out her record as 164 00:10:04,620 --> 00:10:07,500 a prosecutor, I want to take a listen to what you said. 165 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,760 Senator Harris says she's proud of her record as a prosecutor 166 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,220 and that she'll be a prosecutor president, but I'm deeply 167 00:10:14,220 --> 00:10:17,640 concerned about this record. There are too many examples to 168 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,080 cite, but she put over 1500 people in jail for marijuana 169 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,480 violations, and then laughed about it when she was asked if 170 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:28,520 she ever smoked marijuana. She blocked evidence. She blocked 171 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,720 evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row 172 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,200 until the courts forced her to do so. She kept people in prison 173 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,260 beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the 174 00:10:39,260 --> 00:10:43,720 state of California, and she fought to keep tax bail system 175 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,560 in place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way. 176 00:10:48,460 --> 00:10:50,860 Congressman, did you get the answer that you were looking for 177 00:10:50,860 --> 00:10:51,100 from 178 00:10:51,100 --> 00:10:51,820 Senator Harris? 179 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,460 I got no answers. But more importantly, the American 180 00:10:54,460 --> 00:10:58,900 people, voters, got no answers. Senator Harris said very clearly 181 00:10:58,900 --> 00:11:02,760 on the debate stage last night that she's proud of her record, 182 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,080 yet she failed to answer these very pointed questions about 183 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,840 these parts of her record, where, when she was in a 184 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,360 position of power and responsibility, where she could 185 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,240 have been a champion for the people, instead, she was the 186 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,720 exact opposite. She was perpetuating the worst part of 187 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,220 our criminal justice system that disproportionately impacts our 188 00:11:22,220 --> 00:11:24,980 Black and Brown Brothers and sisters, poor people in 189 00:11:24,980 --> 00:11:27,860 California. And I'm concerned about the kind of leadership 190 00:11:27,860 --> 00:11:30,500 that she'll bring to the White House, because she's built her 191 00:11:30,500 --> 00:11:34,340 whole presidential campaign around being a champion for 192 00:11:34,340 --> 00:11:38,060 minorities, being a champion for the people. But once again, when 193 00:11:38,060 --> 00:11:41,020 you look at her record, and I'm not talking about a record from 194 00:11:41,020 --> 00:11:44,560 30 years ago or 15 years ago. We're talking about her record 195 00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:47,380 in the very last job she had just a couple of years ago, as 196 00:11:47,380 --> 00:11:48,520 Attorney General in 197 00:11:50,140 --> 00:11:53,080 Adam Curry: California. My understanding is we actually 198 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,220 can't look at her record as her record has been removed from the 199 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,380 California District Attorney website. Surprise, 200 00:12:01,380 --> 00:12:06,000 Moe Factz: surprise. You wonder why? And to be honest with you, 201 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,480 if we were able to look at the record, it has just been poo 202 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,020 pooed as, uh, she's just doing her job. Yeah, she was just, she 203 00:12:13,020 --> 00:12:15,660 was it's her job to lock up people, you understand, as, you 204 00:12:15,660 --> 00:12:19,500 know, as the top copper California, uh, but you can't be 205 00:12:19,500 --> 00:12:25,100 pro police reform and have the record that she does, and I 206 00:12:25,100 --> 00:12:27,860 would like to bring attention to something else that she has in 207 00:12:27,860 --> 00:12:33,440 her closet, of many skeletons, her first campaign she ran on 208 00:12:33,620 --> 00:12:38,780 she used a fire of it could have been a black or brown person 209 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:45,460 looking at as A gang member with tattoos holding a pistol. So she 210 00:12:45,460 --> 00:12:50,740 has been very pro police, which, I mean, that that's her choice. 211 00:12:50,740 --> 00:12:54,100 I mean, I have no issue with that. If that's where you stand. 212 00:12:54,100 --> 00:12:58,360 My issue with her is that she goes back and forth. She wants 213 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,460 to be tough on her record, but then say, Oh no, I wasn't really 214 00:13:02,460 --> 00:13:07,560 tough on my record. So what we see here in this next clip of 215 00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:12,600 the post debate fact check is we start to see even local news 216 00:13:13,260 --> 00:13:16,380 spinning it to protect Kamala Harris. KPIX five 217 00:13:16,380 --> 00:13:18,720 Unknown: political reporter Melissa Caen has a look at the 218 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:19,500 facts. 219 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,660 Senator Harris says she's proud of her record as a prosecutor 220 00:13:23,660 --> 00:13:26,120 and that she'll be a prosecutor president, but I'm deeply 221 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,160 concerned about this record. Congresswoman 222 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,760 Tulsi Gabbard did not hold back at last night's debate taking 223 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,120 aim at Senator Kamala Harris's record as California's Attorney 224 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,960 General. But we wanted to know were gabbard's claims true. She 225 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:39,140 put 226 00:13:39,140 --> 00:13:42,220 over 1500 people in jail for marijuana violations, and 227 00:13:42,220 --> 00:13:44,380 laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked 228 00:13:44,380 --> 00:13:44,980 marijuana. 229 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:50,080 Did Harris put 1500 people in jail for marijuana violations? 230 00:13:50,380 --> 00:13:52,960 Well, as Attorney General, she would not have personally 231 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,460 prosecuted drug cases. That 1500 number was reported by the 232 00:13:57,460 --> 00:14:01,080 Washington Free Beacon. They claim that based on numbers from 233 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,700 the Department of Corrections, at least 1560 people were sent 234 00:14:05,700 --> 00:14:08,940 to state prisons for marijuana related offenses between 2011 235 00:14:09,420 --> 00:14:14,100 and 2016 that's when Harris was the attorney general, and did 236 00:14:14,100 --> 00:14:17,280 Harris laugh about her own marijuana use? Well, here's a 237 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,560 radio interview from February of this year. Have 238 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:20,220 you ever smoked? 239 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,800 I have and I inhale. I didn't. I did inhale. 240 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,260 Gabbard also seemed to refer to the case of death row inmate 241 00:14:30,260 --> 00:14:31,400 Kevin Cooper. She blocked 242 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,780 evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row 243 00:14:35,780 --> 00:14:38,000 until the courts forced her to do so. It 244 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,200 is true that, as Attorney General, Harris refused to allow 245 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,100 advanced DNA testing that could free Cooper. He's on death row 246 00:14:45,100 --> 00:14:49,060 for murdering a family in 1983 Governor Gavin Newsom ordered a 247 00:14:49,060 --> 00:14:52,180 full DNA testing earlier this year, but we don't know the 248 00:14:52,180 --> 00:14:55,840 results yet, so we can't say Cooper is an innocent man in 249 00:14:55,840 --> 00:15:00,240 2018 now, Senator Harris changed her mind and did endure. First 250 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,680 the DNA testing. Now, Tulsi Gabbard also accused Kamala 251 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,400 Harris of fighting to keep California's cash bail system in 252 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,180 place, which is true, but since becoming a senator, Harris has 253 00:15:12,180 --> 00:15:15,420 also introduced legislation to end the cash bail system. 254 00:15:15,420 --> 00:15:17,100 Look forward to September's debate. 255 00:15:18,660 --> 00:15:20,340 Fewer people on stage, 256 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,260 Adam Curry: more fun, wow. They basically gave no information. 257 00:15:24,260 --> 00:15:25,040 That was good, 258 00:15:25,700 --> 00:15:30,800 Moe Factz: exactly a whole bunch of talking, and it was no, yeah, 259 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:35,840 well, she didn't try the cases herself. I mean, I think 260 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,660 everybody knows she went standing up in the courtroom and 261 00:15:38,780 --> 00:15:43,600 and try every one of those 1500 cases. Is that she over, oversaw 262 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,140 the system, right? That that locked these people up. But as 263 00:15:47,140 --> 00:15:50,500 you see, even down, and that's why I want to use that clip. Was 264 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:55,000 even down to the local news. They're they're protecting her, 265 00:15:55,660 --> 00:16:00,420 and I think this is coming from a high place that they really 266 00:16:00,420 --> 00:16:01,980 want her to be the candidate. 267 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,160 Adam Curry: Now, how does, how does that work? With is Joe 268 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,580 Biden, then just there to as a placeholder? I mean, he 269 00:16:08,580 --> 00:16:11,280 certainly seems like it, but is he just a placeholder? 270 00:16:13,020 --> 00:16:16,200 Moe Factz: I believe. So I think, I think they think this 271 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,560 is just my personal opinion. I think they think that Joe will 272 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,540 gap himself out. Eventually he's going to drop the gap of all 273 00:16:23,540 --> 00:16:27,860 gasps, and he'll remove himself. And he has, he has the same 274 00:16:27,860 --> 00:16:30,920 track record with her as far as the criminal justice system is 275 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,320 concerned. Oh yeah, because he helped write the non the 94 276 00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:34,160 crime bill, 277 00:16:34,220 --> 00:16:36,380 Adam Curry: yes, the super predators bill, and there's a 278 00:16:36,380 --> 00:16:37,880 lot of other stuff that, right? 279 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,300 Moe Factz: So he had the same negatives as her, and if they 280 00:16:40,300 --> 00:16:43,900 can get it down to those two on the 281 00:16:45,820 --> 00:16:49,240 Adam Curry: stage, yes, in the final elimination round, right? 282 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,700 Moe Factz: The problem is when you have people like Tulsi 283 00:16:51,700 --> 00:16:54,700 coming in, lobbing, you know, these attacks that she lobbed at 284 00:16:54,700 --> 00:17:00,780 her, these hit hard. So where I went ahead with this is one of 285 00:17:00,780 --> 00:17:06,180 the big mistakes she made. Was laughing about smoking weed, and 286 00:17:06,180 --> 00:17:09,240 where she did that was, was the Breakfast Club, and you brought 287 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,560 up Charlemagne TO GOD 288 00:17:10,620 --> 00:17:12,480 Adam Curry: YES on the last episode, I 289 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:18,000 Moe Factz: think on episode one, yeah. And I started digging, 290 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,840 like, whenever you start this with me, this is something you 291 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:25,460 had to know about me. Whenever I start like something gets in my 292 00:17:25,460 --> 00:17:28,520 brain, I have to get to the bottom of it. So you asked me 293 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:34,280 about Charlemagne to God, and he isn't. He is in a very powerful, 294 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,460 powerful position. And well, let's figure out why the 295 00:17:37,460 --> 00:17:40,780 Breakfast Club is required. Stop for presidential candidates, 296 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,260 Unknown: the host admits they have an agenda, but they don't 297 00:17:44,260 --> 00:17:46,300 always have the same agenda. 298 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,300 Do you feel like white candidates get treated 299 00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:51,220 differently than black candidates in here? 300 00:17:51,700 --> 00:17:57,220 Absolutely isn't in the Breakfast Club. Yeah, I can say 301 00:17:57,220 --> 00:17:57,400 that. 302 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,680 How do you figure? I don't necessarily think so. 303 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,080 I can say that because I tell you straight up, I'm not looking 304 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,740 to elect any more white males, especially for President. You 305 00:18:07,740 --> 00:18:10,140 know, I like somebody like mad people when it comes to those 306 00:18:10,140 --> 00:18:12,300 old white guys, they're not even going to be here to see the 307 00:18:12,300 --> 00:18:15,300 future. So why should they dictate policies on the future? 308 00:18:15,300 --> 00:18:19,020 And I don't trust them. It's hard. I think that white male 309 00:18:19,020 --> 00:18:22,700 entitlement and privilege has been a super detriment to this 310 00:18:22,700 --> 00:18:26,480 country. So yes, when these old white males come in this in this 311 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,940 room, and you can see the entitlement on them and you can 312 00:18:28,940 --> 00:18:32,900 see the privilege on them, yes, I do feel a different way about 313 00:18:32,900 --> 00:18:33,260 that. And 314 00:18:33,260 --> 00:18:35,840 I would likely say I feel more of a connection with women and 315 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,840 with people of color when they come up here, I'm looking 316 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,260 for somebody that's gonna run this country the right way. I 317 00:18:41,260 --> 00:18:44,200 don't care if you old, I don't care if you're black, if you're 318 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,600 a woman, I just want you to run this country the right way. 319 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,120 Look. They've embraced the Breakfast Club. Democratic Party 320 00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:52,720 has embraced Breakfast Club. Have they embraced the issues 321 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,060 that the Breakfast Club listeners have they 322 00:18:55,060 --> 00:18:58,720 embraced black issues? I think that this is the first time 323 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,620 we've heard this many candidates talk about a Black Agenda, 324 00:19:01,620 --> 00:19:04,740 because many candidates talk about reparations. I think for a 325 00:19:04,740 --> 00:19:07,440 long time, they have been ignoring their most loyal fan 326 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,680 base, which is black people. And I think that a great question 327 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,980 that is being asked is, you know, why do we continue to vote 328 00:19:13,980 --> 00:19:18,060 Democrat? You know, just because, wow, 329 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,960 Adam Curry: there's a lot that's loaded with stuff there. First 330 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:27,440 of all, as a an older, white male fuck you. All right, so I 331 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,860 got it, not wanted. I'm not as old 332 00:19:31,340 --> 00:19:33,800 Moe Factz: as Joe. I think they answered your question about 333 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:34,340 Joe. Biden, 334 00:19:35,660 --> 00:19:37,760 Adam Curry: yeah. Oh, that totally answers it. And I even 335 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,600 heard, look, I didn't even mind that the person's old, person of 336 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:45,820 color, a woman, anything but white. That excludes, excludes 337 00:19:46,060 --> 00:19:52,480 Joe, because he's the combo is bad. But, yeah, I've only heard 338 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,840 Charlemagne talk about, you know, actually, only about 339 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,660 Kamala Harris, and then kind of, it's interesting that he says, 340 00:19:58,660 --> 00:20:03,120 or if there's. His co host. Oh, yeah. Well, this is, you know, 341 00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:06,240 the we need candidates are talking about Black Agenda. 342 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,680 Well, really, Kamala Harris isn't really talking about a 343 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,920 Black Agenda. She's not really talking about reparations. 344 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,240 Moe Factz: And I had a clip slip. And if anybody wants to 345 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:23,720 create a jingle for that, I had a clip slip because she was 346 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,260 interviewed by thegrio, and it's a very important clip. Now I'll 347 00:20:27,260 --> 00:20:31,940 bring it or either link it somewhere, but she was asked, 348 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,120 are you gonna do anything specifically for black people? 349 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,580 And she said, No, 350 00:20:39,980 --> 00:20:41,740 Adam Curry: wait, she was asked on the Breakfast Club 351 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:46,060 Moe Factz: no on the griot interviewed her post nomination, 352 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,620 announced her nomination, what she and what she was she was she 353 00:20:50,620 --> 00:20:54,160 doing things specifically for black people? She said no, and I 354 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:59,200 got, I hate I don't have that clip. I'll 355 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:00,100 Adam Curry: take your word for it. 356 00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:06,060 Moe Factz: What pisses me off is Charlamagne knows this. He 357 00:21:06,060 --> 00:21:09,120 didn't ask her anything about reparations. He didn't ask her 358 00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:12,900 anything about a Black Agenda, and then he lets her come on his 359 00:21:12,900 --> 00:21:16,560 show and float this BS bio of hers. 360 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:21,980 Unknown: Now for those who may not know, let us know a little 361 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,840 about yourself. You're from the Bay Area, right? 362 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:29,840 I was born in Oakland, okay? And I went to Howard. I went out of 363 00:21:30,260 --> 00:21:33,380 Howard to law school in California. I started my career 364 00:21:33,380 --> 00:21:37,820 in the DAs office in Oakland, California, and then I was 365 00:21:37,820 --> 00:21:40,720 elected, the first black woman to be elected a district 366 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,900 attorney in the state of California, San Francisco. I was 367 00:21:43,900 --> 00:21:47,260 there for two terms, and then I was elected Attorney General of 368 00:21:47,260 --> 00:21:50,260 California, making me the first woman and the first African 369 00:21:50,260 --> 00:21:53,680 American ever elected as an attorney general. She Jamaican 370 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:54,820 too. Yeah, man. 371 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,560 Adam Curry: I gotta throw the Jamaican out there then, I 372 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:01,980 guess, 373 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,540 Moe Factz: right. And she used first black, first African 374 00:22:06,540 --> 00:22:11,220 American, and for the untrained ear, all right, let me give you 375 00:22:11,220 --> 00:22:14,520 some. This is where I come in with the inside baseball. The 376 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:19,380 way she shaped her bio on this show was so disingenuous, 377 00:22:19,620 --> 00:22:22,700 because she said, I was born in Oakland. Oakland being 378 00:22:22,700 --> 00:22:27,080 predominantly black, it has a lot of historical black 379 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,100 importance. You know, have the Black Panthers. That was sure, 380 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,820 Laura, I mean, huge in that community. And even he asked her 381 00:22:34,820 --> 00:22:37,700 about being affiliate with the Black Panthers. It wasn't really 382 00:22:37,700 --> 00:22:41,320 clippable, because it was a lot of over talking. But she was 383 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,500 like, Oh yeah, they inspired me. I'm like, whoa. Hold on. You're 384 00:22:44,500 --> 00:22:47,200 the top cop and the Black Panthers 385 00:22:47,380 --> 00:22:50,500 Adam Curry: well. But mo at this was also the interview where she 386 00:22:50,740 --> 00:22:55,240 said, Oh yeah, no, I would smoke weed while listening to to 387 00:22:55,300 --> 00:22:59,200 Tupac, who hadn't even, hadn't even released his album when she 388 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,640 was so apparently, smoking weed, right? 389 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,980 Moe Factz: And they even the whole breakfast club came out 390 00:23:04,980 --> 00:23:08,640 with a an excuse, saying, Well, I asked her one question, and 391 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,340 she said yes to another question that Charlamagne was asking her 392 00:23:11,340 --> 00:23:15,960 some, some BS. But back to the inside baseball, the way she 393 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,240 shaped this was, I was born in Oakland, then I went off to 394 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,740 Howard. Howard University, for those not knowing, is the HBCU. 395 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:26,540 It has a very 396 00:23:27,260 --> 00:23:29,960 Adam Curry: historically black, black college university, 397 00:23:30,140 --> 00:23:32,720 Moe Factz: yes, historically black college university. It has 398 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:38,360 a very rich history. But the way she shaped that is she lived in 399 00:23:38,660 --> 00:23:43,900 this is what was, what would be heard when she said that I lived 400 00:23:43,900 --> 00:23:49,840 in Oakland all my life. That's not true. I'm we know this, but 401 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,160 until the untrained ear, or if you if the way she framed it or 402 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,960 shaped it, I lived in Oakland all my life, until I went to 403 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:04,320 Howard, and then I came back to Oakland to fight for civil 404 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,860 rights. Yeah? Well, that's, it's, yeah, that's, 405 00:24:07,860 --> 00:24:10,680 Adam Curry: I guess that's kind of true. All my life, I was just 406 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,600 living somewhere else for a while, wasn't it? 407 00:24:12,900 --> 00:24:17,400 Moe Factz: She right, Adam, what is not true about that 408 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:22,580 statement? If I, as a black person, was to take that as she 409 00:24:22,580 --> 00:24:26,180 stated it. What would be the problem with that statement? 410 00:24:26,540 --> 00:24:29,000 Adam Curry: What with the I lived there all my life, but 411 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,820 then I came with that file? Yes, when she came out, where did you 412 00:24:31,820 --> 00:24:35,780 come back from? Where you were all your life in Oakland, right? 413 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,820 Moe Factz: First of all, she didn't live in Oakland all her 414 00:24:37,820 --> 00:24:42,040 life, as she tried to make it seem she lived in Canada for, 415 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:46,120 I'm saying, for a major chunk of her life. Yeah. Second of all, 416 00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:50,320 she lived with her mother only, who was Indian, so she wasn't 417 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:55,900 bathed in the blackness. And honestly, I think the Howard was 418 00:24:55,900 --> 00:25:00,780 a very, this is just me being cynical was a very. Calculated 419 00:25:00,780 --> 00:25:06,000 move by her if she had political aspirations to say, you know, I 420 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,620 checked out, check this off of my black card, right? So that's, 421 00:25:10,620 --> 00:25:14,400 that's where we're at with that so. But with Charlemagne, he has 422 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:20,780 not being, uh, he's been open, openly supportive of Kamala 423 00:25:20,780 --> 00:25:23,060 Harris, and the fact that he would vote for her, as you see 424 00:25:23,060 --> 00:25:24,320 in this next clip, if 425 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,420 Unknown: I had to vote for somebody right now today, it 426 00:25:26,420 --> 00:25:29,480 would definitely be Kamala Harris. And the reason it would 427 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,500 be Kamala Harris is because I was liking Kamala before she 428 00:25:33,500 --> 00:25:35,960 even announced, you know, she was running for president. She 429 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,180 was on breakfast club last year. And you know, I had been 430 00:25:38,180 --> 00:25:40,120 following her for the past two or three years, and you know, 431 00:25:40,660 --> 00:25:45,940 like, I just was intrigued by Kamala Harris for some reason. 432 00:25:45,940 --> 00:25:49,480 Like, I know people question her record as a prosecutor, but it 433 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,600 was a lot of the things that she was doing in that space that I 434 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,120 thought was very progressive, like the Back on Track program, 435 00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:58,660 and, you know, making her officers wear body cameras, like 436 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,220 stuff like that, had me engaged. Like, wow, who is this? Kamala 437 00:26:02,220 --> 00:26:04,680 Harris. And, of course, she's a black woman, you know. So I was 438 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,960 definitely intrigued by that. That's just natural, like, 439 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,140 right? That could be my, my sister, that could be my, you 440 00:26:10,140 --> 00:26:12,240 know, aunt that could be my, you know, one of your daughters, my 441 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,520 daughters. You know me, my friend. Like, of course, black 442 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,620 women. So it's like, I'm intrigued by that. I was, I was 443 00:26:16,620 --> 00:26:18,720 like, Yo, she could be president. I always thought that 444 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,960 if you go back and watch our first interview, I told her, 445 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,500 like, Yo if you run, you know, we'll support you. Now I just 446 00:26:24,500 --> 00:26:28,760 had to have some questions about her record as a prosecutor. But 447 00:26:29,360 --> 00:26:32,360 she's a prosecutor. Prosecutors do, yeah, 448 00:26:32,360 --> 00:26:36,020 Adam Curry: I'd have to say that when he says, you know, I'm as 449 00:26:36,020 --> 00:26:39,680 much a black woman as Kamala Harris is, in the way, he's 450 00:26:40,220 --> 00:26:41,860 funny, like, No, 451 00:26:42,460 --> 00:26:45,940 Moe Factz: this is this slippery slope of what is black? 452 00:26:45,940 --> 00:26:50,620 Blackness? Yes, right. And this is why the term ADOS has been so 453 00:26:50,620 --> 00:26:55,060 powerful, because now you can't just use this blanket term of 454 00:26:55,060 --> 00:27:01,080 black, you know, and cloak yourself in it. And he said a 455 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:05,340 lot in that statement. He said that I would, I would have 456 00:27:05,340 --> 00:27:09,720 questioned her her record. Why didn't you you had her on your 457 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,920 show twice, and you never questioned her record, and then 458 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,260 you going to say, well, she did some good things too, but as 459 00:27:16,260 --> 00:27:22,940 Tulsi Gabbard says, she did these things up until her last 460 00:27:22,940 --> 00:27:23,420 job. 461 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,500 Adam Curry: I may be jumping ahead, but what you're clearly 462 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,400 laying out before us here, Mo is that Charlamagne the god is 463 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,160 compromised in some way. Charlamagne 464 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:38,240 Moe Factz: the guy is very compromised. Let's go to this is 465 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,080 him defending her post the Tulsi Gabbard situation 466 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,200 Unknown: out front now, Charlemagne, the God, and I know 467 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,080 we played that moment before it was it was an important moment. 468 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,780 You talked about how genuine she seemed, and now, obviously you 469 00:27:49,780 --> 00:27:52,060 know you were talking about legalizing marijuana. During 470 00:27:52,060 --> 00:27:54,940 that exchange, Congresswoman Gabbard has come out and put 471 00:27:54,940 --> 00:27:57,220 forth, oh, well, you know these, these, these people that she put 472 00:27:57,220 --> 00:27:59,800 behind bars for marijuana. What did you make of that moment? 473 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:00,100 Debate 474 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,360 last I didn't think it was a genuine moment, simply because 475 00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:06,660 if you want to attack, you know, Senator Harris for, I guess, you 476 00:28:06,660 --> 00:28:09,720 know, contributing to putting people in jail for drugs, then 477 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,000 why wouldn't you attack Joe Biden too, if you are, if 478 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,360 you're, you know, purpose was to combat somebody for the war on 479 00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:18,300 drugs. I mean, the author of the 94 crime bill in 88 crack laws 480 00:28:18,300 --> 00:28:20,700 was sitting right there in front of you. So I just thought it was 481 00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:23,540 kind of low hanging fruit to go after Senator Harris for that. 482 00:28:23,540 --> 00:28:26,060 But yo, nobody. Everybody should be questioned on their record. 483 00:28:26,060 --> 00:28:26,780 Yeah, yeah, sure. 484 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,440 Adam Curry: Wow. Not only, not only shilling for Camela, but 485 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,020 torpedoing Joe, exactly. 486 00:28:33,020 --> 00:28:35,240 Moe Factz: And everybody should be questioned on her record, on 487 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:36,500 their record, except Kamala, 488 00:28:36,620 --> 00:28:38,780 Adam Curry: yeah, except when she's on my show. We don't have 489 00:28:38,780 --> 00:28:40,540 to do that weed, 490 00:28:41,140 --> 00:28:44,020 Moe Factz: and that's what the Breakfast Club is supposed to be 491 00:28:44,020 --> 00:28:45,820 about, asking tough questions. But 492 00:28:45,820 --> 00:28:51,220 Adam Curry: mo how twisted is it that? And I'm sure you're going 493 00:28:51,220 --> 00:28:54,460 to show us how Charlemagne is compromised, that the guy who 494 00:28:54,460 --> 00:28:58,540 was actually there to push her, defend against others, discredit 495 00:28:58,540 --> 00:29:03,180 Joe Biden is the one who messed it up and had this haha funny 496 00:29:03,180 --> 00:29:06,300 moment about the weed, which is now being used as the main bomb 497 00:29:06,300 --> 00:29:08,160 against her, right? That, 498 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:15,000 Moe Factz: I think that's karma. I think that's just, I mean you, 499 00:29:15,420 --> 00:29:17,940 when you don't take things seriously and all your light, 500 00:29:17,940 --> 00:29:21,380 you know, and loose, those kind of dumb questions. Come out and 501 00:29:21,380 --> 00:29:25,760 ask themselves, yeah. And her laughing about it, that was bad, 502 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,300 yeah. So let's listen to him defend her a little bit more. 503 00:29:29,300 --> 00:29:29,420 You 504 00:29:29,420 --> 00:29:31,760 Unknown: know her, you know Joe Biden on that stage, wore the 505 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,880 big gun. So everybody was, you know, coming up, coming up 506 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,660 against them, I mean, and you know Gabbard, I can't even 507 00:29:38,660 --> 00:29:41,320 pronounce her name, does it? Gabbard? She's at 0% 508 00:29:42,100 --> 00:29:44,320 so you like the swagger? You like that. I 509 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,800 Adam Curry: don't mean 0% is a talking point that Kamala Harris 510 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:52,120 raised herself right after the that debate. You like that. I 511 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,580 Unknown: don't mean modest, yeah, it's the truth. Even 512 00:29:54,580 --> 00:29:56,680 though she should have had that swagger on the stage last night, 513 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,600 because she did it. She was terrible on the stage 514 00:29:58,600 --> 00:29:59,920 last night. Okay, all right. It. 515 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,700 Is she still your favorite? Or yeah, she's 516 00:30:02,700 --> 00:30:05,220 still my favorite, simply because our current president is 517 00:30:05,220 --> 00:30:07,920 a criminal. And who better to go up against a criminal than a 518 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,740 prosecutor? Prosecutor, that 519 00:30:10,740 --> 00:30:12,960 Adam Curry: is the campaign talking point. Wow, yeah, 520 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:14,880 Charlemagne read in perfectly. 521 00:30:15,180 --> 00:30:18,720 Moe Factz: He has it all, and as I call him now, his new name is 522 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:25,520 Charlemagne the guard. That's what he does. He is, I'm gonna 523 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,360 say this. I honestly, honestly believe that Charlemagne, to 524 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,960 God, is her protect her, her attack guard, and he's gonna 525 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,320 protect her with everything. And that makes me believe that 526 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,980 Charlemagne is part of the Boulet, aka, for those who don't 527 00:30:39,980 --> 00:30:43,900 know, B, O, U, L, E, Boulay, which is nothing but the Black 528 00:30:43,900 --> 00:30:47,380 Skull and Bones. That's not my statement. That's the author of 529 00:30:47,380 --> 00:30:51,580 the book that wrote the book on Boulet. That's what they like to 530 00:30:51,580 --> 00:30:56,140 turn themselves as, which we all know, or most of us know, is 531 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,780 Skull and Bones is one of the groups LinkedIn with the 532 00:31:00,780 --> 00:31:03,180 Illuminati. And I don't really like using that term because 533 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,260 it's been so over, trivialized, overused, trivialized and 534 00:31:07,260 --> 00:31:10,320 watered down. But let's just hear Charman talk about the 535 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,000 Illuminati. Hip 536 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,120 Unknown: Hop's obsession with the Illuminati is the fact that 537 00:31:15,180 --> 00:31:19,260 they can't figure out how to say when their own people are 538 00:31:19,260 --> 00:31:22,160 successful. Black people in general, a black man in America 539 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,820 can't just be successful without you know, and this is amongst 540 00:31:25,820 --> 00:31:28,880 other black people. Other black people will say, Oh, he must be 541 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:33,020 an Illuminati. Oh, he sold his soul. Oh, he must be gay. You 542 00:31:33,020 --> 00:31:37,460 can't just be talented. You just can't work your ass off. You 543 00:31:37,460 --> 00:31:41,860 can't just be smart. It has to be something else connected to 544 00:31:41,860 --> 00:31:44,380 your success, because people want to try to justify their own 545 00:31:44,380 --> 00:31:45,100 failures. 546 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,400 Adam Curry: Now, that's not just with with the Boulet. That's 547 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,520 with all entertainment. All entertainment is that way you've 548 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,440 got to walk the ladder. 549 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,580 Moe Factz: So, so this is where you come in. You're the expert 550 00:31:57,580 --> 00:32:00,520 on this topic. I don't want to get understand too sidetracked, 551 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:05,040 but is being in that industry totally off of talent? I mean, 552 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,400 you, you've been at the height of heights in the entertainment 553 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:08,880 industry? 554 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,920 Adam Curry: Well, let me answer that no, yes, because I have not 555 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,440 been at the height of heights because I never played the game. 556 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,260 I just wanted to do my job. I never went to parties, actually, 557 00:32:19,500 --> 00:32:23,660 eight years MTV, no one ever offered me drugs. Well, we but 558 00:32:23,660 --> 00:32:30,380 nothing other than that. I never played with anything. And did I 559 00:32:30,380 --> 00:32:34,100 get invited? Was I asked to go places? Yeah, but I just never 560 00:32:34,100 --> 00:32:38,840 did it. So I never got any further than VJ, which, believe 561 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,580 me, is pretty much before we had podcasting, the lowest rung on 562 00:32:42,580 --> 00:32:46,480 the show business ladder. So okay, but yes, I've seen many 563 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:53,140 people ascend, and I've and I've always seen the company they 564 00:32:53,140 --> 00:32:56,500 keep, and understand pretty well how it works. It's never been 565 00:32:56,500 --> 00:32:56,920 for me, 566 00:32:57,940 --> 00:33:01,260 Moe Factz: right? So as you say on No, I want to know a gender 567 00:33:01,260 --> 00:33:04,500 podcast, um, the truth always, 568 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,920 Adam Curry: always wants to come out. Yep, it does, right? 569 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,420 Moe Factz: So let's listen to part two. 570 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,620 Unknown: Nobody Black would be in the Illuminati. We just not 571 00:33:13,620 --> 00:33:18,480 in a class, sorry, unless they use us for influence, which I 572 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,260 could see, you know, I could see them using us for influence, to 573 00:33:21,260 --> 00:33:26,660 influence. You know, do you put certain images and things in our 574 00:33:26,660 --> 00:33:32,120 mind? I can see that. But other than that, no. And once again, 575 00:33:32,180 --> 00:33:36,500 there is no. There is not. If it is, it's the most it's the most 576 00:33:36,500 --> 00:33:40,540 terrible kept secret ever. If it's, if it's a secret society, 577 00:33:40,660 --> 00:33:43,420 Adam Curry: oh, well, yes. And the images we put into the music 578 00:33:43,420 --> 00:33:45,220 videos is exactly what was done, 579 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:50,320 Moe Factz: and the way he shapes the political narrative on his 580 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:55,420 show every day. He just, he said, he just went there. He 581 00:33:55,420 --> 00:33:58,060 just clearly stated what he's doing now, yeah, 582 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,200 Adam Curry: literally what he's doing. Yes, you're right. 583 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,920 Moe Factz: I can see using them for influence. Yeah, I could see 584 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:05,940 that. Now let me ask, let 585 00:34:05,940 --> 00:34:08,700 Adam Curry: me ask you a question. The Boulet, you say 586 00:34:08,700 --> 00:34:13,680 it's Skull and Bones. Skull and Bones, was Yale? And I believe 587 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,500 Kamala went to Yale, did she not? I'm 588 00:34:16,500 --> 00:34:20,720 Moe Factz: not sure she I'm not sure that I thought she went for 589 00:34:20,720 --> 00:34:24,740 Howard. I think some school in California. I think us, USC. I 590 00:34:24,740 --> 00:34:26,060 believe, if I'm not mistaken, 591 00:34:26,059 --> 00:34:28,279 Adam Curry: I thought she meant was a law degree. 592 00:34:28,340 --> 00:34:30,740 Moe Factz: I think that was Obama you're thinking about. And 593 00:34:30,740 --> 00:34:32,000 he was, he was 594 00:34:32,119 --> 00:34:36,079 Adam Curry: yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Okay, all right, 595 00:34:36,679 --> 00:34:39,379 Moe Factz: all right. So let's listen to part three. I got 596 00:34:41,899 --> 00:34:44,859 Unknown: you and you, and you notice the last thing I say when 597 00:34:44,859 --> 00:34:47,259 you look up the word Illuminati, though, all it means is the 598 00:34:47,259 --> 00:34:51,579 enlightened ones. That's all the definition of Illuminati means. 599 00:34:51,579 --> 00:34:54,519 It means the enlightened people of our society. So these are the 600 00:34:54,519 --> 00:34:56,919 people that are enlightened. What's wrong with being 601 00:34:56,919 --> 00:34:59,919 enlightened? You know what I'm saying? Like, what's wrong? 602 00:34:59,999 --> 00:35:01,919 Wrong with having knowledge, having wisdom, having 603 00:35:01,919 --> 00:35:04,439 understanding, what's wrong with just being an enlightened 604 00:35:04,439 --> 00:35:06,959 audience? That's what it is, the enlightened people. Yes, I want 605 00:35:06,959 --> 00:35:09,479 to be one of the enlightened people. That's what I read books 606 00:35:09,479 --> 00:35:13,019 for. To try to be one of the highly enlightened people of my 607 00:35:13,019 --> 00:35:15,779 society. Like, yes, every day I strive for knowledge. I want to 608 00:35:15,779 --> 00:35:18,539 be a better person. Like, what's wrong with being enlightened? 609 00:35:18,539 --> 00:35:20,779 Like, so. 610 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,140 So basically, on the record, Charlemagne is saying that he 611 00:35:24,140 --> 00:35:25,760 wants to be in the in the Illuminati, 612 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,180 if there was an Illuminati, and it is of the enlightened people, 613 00:35:29,180 --> 00:35:32,120 why wouldn't I be? Why wouldn't I want to be? Why wouldn't I? 614 00:35:32,180 --> 00:35:35,180 Why wouldn't I want to be with all the knowledge is that, why 615 00:35:35,180 --> 00:35:38,060 wouldn't I want to know the world's secrets? Why wouldn't I? 616 00:35:38,900 --> 00:35:39,680 Why wouldn't I? 617 00:35:40,519 --> 00:35:43,719 Adam Curry: Well, just do your best son, and you'll be leveled 618 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,299 up to the appropriate knowledge. He's, 619 00:35:46,300 --> 00:35:49,660 Moe Factz: he's, I think that was his application, yeah, 620 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:54,880 submitting his application. Hey, influence, yeah. Influence, 621 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,420 young minds, I got this huge platform if you need me, you 622 00:35:58,420 --> 00:36:03,960 know, use me. And so he had, what was the farmer, bro, I 623 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,040 can't pronounce his name, 624 00:36:06,179 --> 00:36:09,239 Adam Curry: the squirrelly Martin scorrilly, right? 625 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,639 Moe Factz: He was on the Breakfast Club, and I want you 626 00:36:11,639 --> 00:36:15,239 to listen to his inner exchange they had between him and 627 00:36:15,539 --> 00:36:16,559 Charlemagne. That's 628 00:36:16,559 --> 00:36:18,779 Unknown: a separate subject. I was at a I was at Bridget 629 00:36:18,779 --> 00:36:21,739 capital yesterday, which is a great hedge fund. I didn't see 630 00:36:21,739 --> 00:36:25,039 nobody in there with mask on. A bunch of goons talking crazy to 631 00:36:25,039 --> 00:36:26,479 what you was talking. Bridger, yeah, I 632 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:27,860 wonder what you didn't there anyway, 633 00:36:30,739 --> 00:36:31,939 really, yes, I 634 00:36:31,940 --> 00:36:34,400 was, sir. I know people too. Yeah. 635 00:36:35,539 --> 00:36:36,799 Okay, that's, 636 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:38,660 that's some Illuminati, right there. 637 00:36:38,659 --> 00:36:42,519 Don't worry about me. Okay, that just 638 00:36:43,539 --> 00:36:46,359 you totally changed every like my blew up. My brain 639 00:36:48,340 --> 00:36:49,720 actually good. 640 00:36:50,380 --> 00:36:50,920 Um, 641 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:51,760 I gotta sit. 642 00:36:53,139 --> 00:36:54,159 Gotta take a different 643 00:36:54,639 --> 00:36:56,979 Adam Curry: attitude. I should be listening to the Charlamagne 644 00:36:56,979 --> 00:36:59,859 show this. This is on the air. 645 00:37:00,220 --> 00:37:05,100 Moe Factz: Yes, this is on the air. Uh, so Bridger capital. Is 646 00:37:05,100 --> 00:37:07,980 it like some huge, I mean, maybe you know more than I do. I 647 00:37:07,980 --> 00:37:11,880 couldn't find much about him, but it's this huge, uh, hedge 648 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:17,760 fund, hedge fund. And when he said he was there, the the 649 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,200 farmer, bro, um, this one, McCall, and um, was like, what 650 00:37:21,260 --> 00:37:25,520 really like? What the hell are you doing there? Well, you know, 651 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:26,180 so yeah, 652 00:37:26,419 --> 00:37:28,759 Adam Curry: he's been involved in a lot of weird stuff, so it 653 00:37:28,759 --> 00:37:32,419 wouldn't be out of character for him to be with other weird 654 00:37:32,419 --> 00:37:32,899 people, 655 00:37:34,099 --> 00:37:36,679 Moe Factz: right? So I'm just saying the fact that that was 656 00:37:36,679 --> 00:37:40,179 unprompted, that he even associated him with the 657 00:37:40,179 --> 00:37:44,919 Illuminati, quote, unquote, Illuminati. But as Charlotte 658 00:37:44,979 --> 00:37:46,059 said, the enlightened, 659 00:37:46,119 --> 00:37:47,859 Adam Curry: what did he say about it? I couldn't quite hear 660 00:37:47,859 --> 00:37:49,359 it. He said something about $2 million 661 00:37:50,559 --> 00:37:53,079 Moe Factz: Oh, so, okay, a little background in this. He 662 00:37:53,079 --> 00:37:56,319 brought him on the show because the the former bro, how you say 663 00:37:56,319 --> 00:38:02,099 his name again? Shkreli. Shkreli, okay, really bought 664 00:38:02,099 --> 00:38:05,339 this Wu Tang album. There was only one copy of all right? $2 665 00:38:05,399 --> 00:38:10,739 million right? And so he was perceived as being disrespectful 666 00:38:10,739 --> 00:38:13,499 to one of a few of the members of Wu Tang, and that's why 667 00:38:13,499 --> 00:38:16,079 Charlemagne had him on. And right from the beginning, 668 00:38:16,079 --> 00:38:20,039 Charlemagne laid into him. And this is Charlemagne style, so 669 00:38:21,299 --> 00:38:25,099 the contrast of how he's handling Kamala to how he use 670 00:38:25,099 --> 00:38:28,339 usually handles guests. I mean, usually he's like, up front, 671 00:38:28,339 --> 00:38:31,639 like, right on it, yeah, cutting people down, sure, sure, right, 672 00:38:31,819 --> 00:38:35,659 so. And then the exchange happened that he said, Oh yeah, 673 00:38:35,659 --> 00:38:38,539 I was over at Bridger capital, and the dude was like, You 674 00:38:38,539 --> 00:38:42,279 should have seen his face. Like, big. And it was like, what, 675 00:38:43,779 --> 00:38:46,119 that's what you doing over there, and he's like some 676 00:38:46,119 --> 00:38:50,799 Illuminati crap right there, you know. So all that to say, you 677 00:38:50,799 --> 00:38:56,139 remember that white privilege? Yes, what did Charmaine called 678 00:38:56,139 --> 00:39:01,319 the old white man privilege? Yes. Charlemagne has been the 679 00:39:01,319 --> 00:39:05,699 recipient of this old white man privileged. The reason why I say 680 00:39:05,699 --> 00:39:11,579 that is and this climate of me too, he has his own allegations, 681 00:39:11,579 --> 00:39:13,019 as you'll see in this next clip, 682 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,539 Unknown: Charlemagne the gods, rape allegations resurface, and 683 00:39:18,539 --> 00:39:25,219 we have an exclusive interview with his alleged victim. Hey 684 00:39:25,219 --> 00:39:27,919 guys, it's Ali for Hollywood Life and Charlemagne the gods 685 00:39:27,919 --> 00:39:32,839 rape accuser Jessica Reid wants the case reopen 17 years after 686 00:39:32,839 --> 00:39:36,319 he was arrested for allegedly having sex with her when she was 687 00:39:36,319 --> 00:39:40,299 just 15 years old. Here are the details. Charlemagne was charged 688 00:39:40,299 --> 00:39:43,539 for sexual misconduct, and he ended up pleading guilty to a 689 00:39:43,539 --> 00:39:47,379 lesser charge at the time. Well, the victim, Jessica read, tells 690 00:39:47,379 --> 00:39:50,439 us how this all allegedly happened, revealing she met 691 00:39:50,439 --> 00:39:54,339 Charlamagne, who was in his 20s at the time, in 2001 through a 692 00:39:54,339 --> 00:39:58,059 mutual friend and a DJ. A few days later, Charlemagne called 693 00:39:58,059 --> 00:40:01,019 her and expressed his interest in her. But she told him she 694 00:40:01,019 --> 00:40:03,959 wasn't interested, and they agreed to just be friends, 695 00:40:04,079 --> 00:40:06,839 according to Jessica, Charlemagne invited her to his 696 00:40:06,839 --> 00:40:09,839 cousin's birthday party, apparently playing it off as his 697 00:40:09,899 --> 00:40:13,499 own to convince Jessica to pass by. Charlemagne reportedly 698 00:40:13,499 --> 00:40:16,499 picked her up and a friend and drove them to a party filled 699 00:40:16,499 --> 00:40:19,799 with guys and only two other women. Jessica alleges that at 700 00:40:19,799 --> 00:40:22,699 the party, Charlemagne spiked her drink with something, and 701 00:40:22,699 --> 00:40:25,759 she ended up passing out in the bathroom while she was unable to 702 00:40:25,759 --> 00:40:28,939 move after she fell down, Jessica says she could see and 703 00:40:28,939 --> 00:40:32,599 hear Charlemagne and his friends laughing at her. She claims that 704 00:40:32,599 --> 00:40:35,719 Charlemagne friends took her upstairs where they allegedly 705 00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,499 violated her. Then she alleged Charlemagne later came in the 706 00:40:39,499 --> 00:40:42,699 room, took his clothes off, got in bed with her, took her 707 00:40:42,699 --> 00:40:45,399 clothes off, and proceeded to have sex with her. Jessica and 708 00:40:45,399 --> 00:40:47,859 her friend got help from a stranger, and she eventually 709 00:40:47,859 --> 00:40:50,739 went to the hospital. Jessica tells us she felt betrayed by 710 00:40:50,739 --> 00:40:53,499 Charlemagne and was encouraged to speak out after seeing him 711 00:40:53,499 --> 00:40:56,379 trying to discredit the situation. When he was speaking 712 00:40:56,379 --> 00:40:59,919 to DJ academics as of this recording, Charlemagne reps 713 00:40:59,919 --> 00:41:02,639 responded back to us with a statement from his attorney, 714 00:41:02,639 --> 00:41:05,999 Michael Weinstein of lavley singer, Charlemagne was accused 715 00:41:05,999 --> 00:41:09,059 of a sexual assault. He never had sexual relations or any 716 00:41:09,059 --> 00:41:12,359 physical contact with the accuser, and even provided DNA 717 00:41:12,359 --> 00:41:14,939 to prove it. At the time of these claims, Charlemagne 718 00:41:14,939 --> 00:41:17,399 cooperated fully with authorities, and after the 719 00:41:17,399 --> 00:41:19,799 investigation this charge against him was dropped, 720 00:41:19,799 --> 00:41:22,459 Charlemagne has spoken about this many times over the years 721 00:41:22,459 --> 00:41:25,279 in public, including in his book. While Charlemagne has 722 00:41:25,279 --> 00:41:27,919 empathy for all sexual assault victims, he cannot take 723 00:41:27,919 --> 00:41:31,099 responsibility for a crime he did not commit. But all right, 724 00:41:31,099 --> 00:41:33,679 as the story continues to develop, you guys can click 725 00:41:33,679 --> 00:41:36,079 right up here to get all the latest updates. 726 00:41:36,979 --> 00:41:42,039 Moe Factz: Okay, Adam, had you? Had you heard of that story 727 00:41:42,039 --> 00:41:44,439 before you heard it here? And 728 00:41:44,500 --> 00:41:48,700 Adam Curry: I don't think so. It's a 17 year old story. I 729 00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:50,560 don't I don't remember this at all, 730 00:41:51,039 --> 00:41:54,159 Moe Factz: but it spiked back up, doing the whole me too 731 00:41:54,159 --> 00:42:00,599 thing, right? But it got no traction at all. And so they got 732 00:42:00,599 --> 00:42:01,979 me to wondering, hmm, 733 00:42:02,100 --> 00:42:05,280 Adam Curry: and you'd think that you know a guy with 8 million 734 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,920 listeners to his morning radio show, this would be an 735 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,720 interesting target to take down. 736 00:42:10,439 --> 00:42:14,399 Moe Factz: Very interesting, especially that he's been, he's 737 00:42:14,399 --> 00:42:22,339 been very politically incorrect. He's not. You're saying he He's, 738 00:42:22,399 --> 00:42:26,839 um, he has stories about, uh, him using Spanish Fly. I mean, 739 00:42:26,839 --> 00:42:29,599 this is not the only thing that you're saying. He said out of 740 00:42:29,599 --> 00:42:33,199 the way. So, like you said, he seems like a very big target to 741 00:42:33,199 --> 00:42:35,659 take down, but nothing 742 00:42:37,039 --> 00:42:39,319 Adam Curry: so that he's got some bulletproofness to him. 743 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,700 Moe Factz: Why? And the question is, why, when you see certain 744 00:42:42,700 --> 00:42:47,740 people not being going, being taken down, why? And my personal 745 00:42:47,740 --> 00:42:53,500 opinion, I think he has a job to do. He the way he carries 746 00:42:53,500 --> 00:42:59,140 himself, he's seen as a quote, unquote, real guy. You know, he 747 00:42:59,140 --> 00:43:05,220 was on the show Guy Code on MTV, yeah. So he has this. He's not 748 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:11,940 one of these, like he wouldn't be seen as a panderer. So if his 749 00:43:11,940 --> 00:43:15,480 support for Kamala, if he, if he supports Kamala, is seen as 750 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:20,240 coming from real black men. Got it going back to what we talked 751 00:43:20,240 --> 00:43:23,420 about before in the previous shows, where are Democrats 752 00:43:23,420 --> 00:43:27,680 hurting it with their numbers black male voters and black 753 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:31,100 voters overall? So he's a very valuable piece. 754 00:43:31,159 --> 00:43:34,519 Adam Curry: Yes, he's an asset that is meant to keep the black 755 00:43:34,519 --> 00:43:39,619 men in line with the messaging right and to promote, in this 756 00:43:39,619 --> 00:43:44,379 case, the right quote, unquote, black woman for them to lean 757 00:43:44,379 --> 00:43:44,859 towards, 758 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,800 Moe Factz: right? And then he could attack Joe as well, 759 00:43:48,340 --> 00:43:51,460 because it's not seen as like some kind of feminist movement, 760 00:43:51,460 --> 00:43:52,060 you know, attack, 761 00:43:52,779 --> 00:43:54,879 Adam Curry: quite honestly, anyone could attack Joe with 762 00:43:54,879 --> 00:43:58,239 both hands behind their back. There's so much to attack, 763 00:43:58,599 --> 00:44:02,399 Moe Factz: right? So in investigating Charlemagne, to 764 00:44:02,399 --> 00:44:07,499 God, I came across the guard, I'm saying I came across some 765 00:44:07,979 --> 00:44:12,419 interesting panel. And you were talking about last week about 766 00:44:12,419 --> 00:44:17,339 these think tanks. Yes. So on this panel was Charlemagne, the 767 00:44:17,339 --> 00:44:24,979 guard Porter from four magazine whose name is Zach O'Malley 768 00:44:24,979 --> 00:44:39,559 Greenberg. It was ti rapper ti tip Harris and David groves. 769 00:44:40,159 --> 00:44:43,899 Adam Curry: So I know that name. I knew you would recognize 770 00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:44,620 Moe Factz: that. Yes, I 771 00:44:44,620 --> 00:44:45,400 Adam Curry: do. I do. 772 00:44:46,539 --> 00:44:49,239 Moe Factz: Would you like to explain to us how you recognize 773 00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:50,019 that name? Adam? 774 00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:56,740 Adam Curry: Yes, I have a weird habit of when someone is lauded 775 00:44:56,740 --> 00:45:01,380 by any group, certainly if they die. I always look into what 776 00:45:01,380 --> 00:45:04,980 they were doing, and there's been this, it's kind of weird. 777 00:45:04,980 --> 00:45:08,940 But I, you know, I I've been hearing stories about, oh, this, 778 00:45:08,940 --> 00:45:11,940 this rapper, this hip hopper, etc, and then I go look at the 779 00:45:11,940 --> 00:45:15,240 lyrics and like, what are you defending this guy for? And 780 00:45:15,420 --> 00:45:18,300 that's how it initially started when, when Nipsey Hussle died, I 781 00:45:18,300 --> 00:45:22,040 knew nothing about Nipsey Hussle. I knew one little thing 782 00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:27,200 about him, and that was because he was involved in a 783 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,620 cryptocurrency initial coin offering in Amsterdam around the 784 00:45:30,620 --> 00:45:34,520 same time I was involved in the crypto community in Amsterdam. 785 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:38,300 So I knew that he was in and these things are basically kind 786 00:45:38,300 --> 00:45:41,920 of scamish where, you know, you get, you get, and, you know, 787 00:45:41,980 --> 00:45:45,220 we've had Snoop with some crypto stuff, and it was, you know, 788 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:49,000 it's that market is kind of dead now. But the idea is, you get 789 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,540 someone of some fame to endorse it. You release your crypto 790 00:45:52,540 --> 00:45:56,560 coin. People see the the celebrity. They buy the coin. 791 00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:00,040 Everybody is already in the coin. So it starts to go up. 792 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,060 Then everybody massively sells it, dumps out. And then, you 793 00:46:03,060 --> 00:46:06,960 know, they've made their money. I don't know if I don't think 794 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,360 their coin actually ever launched, but that's how I knew 795 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,240 Nipsey Hussle. And as I started looking into it, I'm like, this 796 00:46:12,240 --> 00:46:16,440 is, why are we? Why is everyone celebrating this guy? What they 797 00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:20,840 had to hold? What was the venue in LA they Staples Center, 798 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,900 Staple Center. Like, holy crap. So I started looking into the 799 00:46:23,900 --> 00:46:27,740 guy. And then I see, you know, all these claims, because when 800 00:46:27,740 --> 00:46:31,460 people make blanket claims, I listen to it, well, you know, 801 00:46:31,460 --> 00:46:34,400 he's really doing stuff for his community. And I start looking 802 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,520 into it. And I'm like, doing stuff for his community. It 803 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,900 seems like he was actually working with a bunch of, well, 804 00:46:40,900 --> 00:46:43,960 with this girl, Guy and these big real estate developers, and 805 00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,200 they were taken over stuff. And when I saw that, they intended 806 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:52,600 to buy the strip mall where, where his his shop is, where he 807 00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:56,920 was gunned down, it wasn't to build affordable housing. It was 808 00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:01,440 to build new retail, and, you know, new apartments and 809 00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,800 residential units. And I'm like, hold on a second. So I start 810 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,260 looking a little further, and it seems like this is something 811 00:47:07,260 --> 00:47:12,120 that's going on with a number of people. DJ Khaled, I think Jay 812 00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:16,080 Z's name came up, and then they're all looking to buy the 813 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:21,320 viceroy properties, very upscale hotel like this. Seems like the 814 00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:25,160 guy's either being used or is in some Cabal, and that's how I 815 00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,200 know the girl name. Okay, 816 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,380 Moe Factz: so at the same time you were doing your 817 00:47:30,380 --> 00:47:33,620 investigation, I was doing my own independent investigation. 818 00:47:33,619 --> 00:47:35,179 Adam Curry: We didn't know each other at all, 819 00:47:36,500 --> 00:47:40,600 Moe Factz: but we don't have any connection whatsoever. Well, as 820 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:44,320 you said, Whenever somebody's put on a certain level and this, 821 00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,540 let me say this. First of all, I have to say this disclaimer. 822 00:47:46,780 --> 00:47:50,140 This is not anything against Nipsey Hussle. You know, he was 823 00:47:50,140 --> 00:47:53,980 tragically, I'm saying attacking, um, but we have to 824 00:47:53,980 --> 00:48:00,960 look and see why they stopped broadcast television to show his 825 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:05,520 funeral, only certain people, a lot I'm saying, are put on that 826 00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:10,440 level. Yes, he was. It's been stated that he was given the 827 00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:11,820 Michael Jackson funeral. 828 00:48:13,199 --> 00:48:15,719 Adam Curry: You're right. Very, very similar, right, 829 00:48:15,779 --> 00:48:20,179 Moe Factz: very, very similar. So, so I started digging. And 830 00:48:20,179 --> 00:48:23,899 the same time I was listening to your show, I was like, we're on 831 00:48:23,899 --> 00:48:27,139 the same path, because you brought forward the same facts 832 00:48:27,139 --> 00:48:32,779 that you just laid out there. So right after that, I think the 833 00:48:32,779 --> 00:48:36,619 word was starting to bubble under the surface, and Jay Z 834 00:48:36,619 --> 00:48:42,639 comes out and convinces people, via freestyle that gentrifying 835 00:48:42,639 --> 00:48:44,799 your own hood is a good thing. 836 00:48:45,220 --> 00:48:47,800 Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. It's like, we might as well do it before 837 00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:48,820 the white man does 838 00:48:49,300 --> 00:48:52,540 Moe Factz: right? So this is what this panel, this think 839 00:48:52,540 --> 00:48:55,600 tank, and that's why I say, I'm going to show you balance. This 840 00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:59,920 is what the male boots are. Of the Boulet looks like. Um, 841 00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:04,140 they're trying to convince people that coming in, bringing 842 00:49:04,140 --> 00:49:08,760 big capital into the to into the hood, is somehow good for the 843 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:15,120 community, is a good thing. So the the L shape plans that you 844 00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:21,860 spoke about, that him and David gross bought for a couple 845 00:49:21,860 --> 00:49:25,760 million dollars. I first found this article, uh, when I was 846 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:29,360 doing my digging, uh, Forbes magazine. And the title was 847 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,900 inside Nipsey hussles blueprint to become a real estate mogul. 848 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:38,480 And this was written on February 20. This is prior to his, um, as 849 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:43,780 untimely death. In there, they state that they bought the plaza 850 00:49:43,780 --> 00:49:47,200 and they were going to tear it down, and within 18 months or 851 00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,600 so, they were going to knock everything down, this is quote 852 00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:53,740 the article, and rebuild a six story residential building on 853 00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,820 top of commercial plaza where a revamped marathon store will be 854 00:49:57,820 --> 00:50:01,080 anchored or will be the anchor tenant. And I. I actually made a 855 00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:05,340 video about this on my YouTube channel titled Jay Z and 856 00:50:05,340 --> 00:50:09,180 gentrification. And I go into this whole article, Jay Z saying 857 00:50:09,180 --> 00:50:13,860 we should use eminent domain. But on that panel, let's listen 858 00:50:13,860 --> 00:50:16,020 to TI explain gentrification. I 859 00:50:16,020 --> 00:50:18,180 Unknown: want to ask a question, why do you think other people 860 00:50:18,180 --> 00:50:20,160 see gold in our neighborhoods when we don't 861 00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:26,660 well? I think, I think because it's by design, you know, I do 862 00:50:26,660 --> 00:50:32,360 believe that at a certain point in time there's a strategy by 863 00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:36,080 the powers that be that sit in ivory towers and look down and 864 00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:39,260 at all the poverty that exists and says, Well, we'll just let 865 00:50:39,260 --> 00:50:42,700 that go on for so long, okay, well, then we'll tear down the 866 00:50:42,700 --> 00:50:46,360 projects, and we'll push people out to the outskirts, and then 867 00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:49,600 we'll get enough people to come in and invest our money on 868 00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:53,380 things like stadiums and domes. And because most of the stadiums 869 00:50:53,380 --> 00:50:57,220 and domes are right across the street from poverty stricken 870 00:50:57,220 --> 00:51:00,720 areas, and so once they build these stadiums and domes and 871 00:51:00,720 --> 00:51:03,780 billions of dollars are being congested into this community. 872 00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:07,920 Well, then there's nothing left to do but come by and buy all of 873 00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:12,120 the blighted property in the area and fix it up. And before 874 00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:15,420 you know it, you got, you know, white people walking their dog 875 00:51:15,420 --> 00:51:20,360 down the street, and that's when you know, your property just 876 00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:20,720 went up. 877 00:51:23,539 --> 00:51:26,899 Adam Curry: Now, isn't this exactly what Jay Z did with the 878 00:51:26,899 --> 00:51:27,799 with the nets? This 879 00:51:28,340 --> 00:51:31,580 Moe Factz: is exactly what he did in Brooklyn. They used him 880 00:51:31,580 --> 00:51:36,320 as he was the he was the blueprint. They put him up front 881 00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:37,580 for the Brooklyn Nets, 882 00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:40,600 Adam Curry: which, which is, I think if you asked anybody on 883 00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,240 the street, they'd say, Oh yeah, Jay Z owns it, would, I think he 884 00:51:43,240 --> 00:51:46,720 owns, like, 0.001% or something. Really, I 885 00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:50,919 Moe Factz: think it was like, point two, 5% yes, of the net. 886 00:51:51,099 --> 00:51:54,819 But they used him. They sent him courtside, yep, like he was 887 00:51:54,819 --> 00:51:58,179 calling the shots. Uh, they used him because he was from 888 00:51:58,179 --> 00:52:02,759 Brooklyn. Um, in a similar fashion how they use Nipsey and 889 00:52:03,299 --> 00:52:05,159 and Crenshaw. This 890 00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:09,900 Adam Curry: is actually very important, in my mind, is the 891 00:52:09,900 --> 00:52:13,260 way, and it's entertainment people in general. It's not a 892 00:52:13,260 --> 00:52:18,600 black or white issue. You know, people have perceived success 893 00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:22,340 and wealth, and a lot of that is controlled by others, much 894 00:52:22,340 --> 00:52:27,140 higher on the literal pyramid, and they'll use that ultimately, 895 00:52:27,140 --> 00:52:30,800 for their gains. But it's disingenuous, and it happens 896 00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:35,300 across the board where, you know, where people think the 897 00:52:35,300 --> 00:52:39,320 Kardashians, I think, is a very good example, you know, you 898 00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:42,400 know, what's the Kylie. Oh, she's worth a billion dollars. 899 00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:46,180 You ask anybody, Yep, she's worth a billion dollars. No, no, 900 00:52:46,540 --> 00:52:50,560 no, she's she's rich. She ain't that wealthy. And it's because 901 00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:53,260 people who are really running the show really own the 902 00:52:53,260 --> 00:52:53,980 properties, 903 00:52:54,460 --> 00:52:58,300 Moe Factz: right? So, and this is what they do, they take not 904 00:52:58,300 --> 00:53:02,340 only can you advertise for a product. But you can advertise 905 00:53:02,340 --> 00:53:09,180 an idea, yes, and this idea has been, Jay Z was the first to do 906 00:53:09,180 --> 00:53:16,920 it, as far as using a black face to bring gentrification in. 907 00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:20,180 Because if you know, if you use the businessman to do it, you'll 908 00:53:20,180 --> 00:53:23,900 get pushback, right? But the way they shape it is these guys are 909 00:53:23,900 --> 00:53:28,400 giving back to the hood now who will be living in that six story 910 00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:33,260 apartment building that Nipsey Hussle and his and his business 911 00:53:33,260 --> 00:53:37,700 partner was building. One small fact, when you go look at the 912 00:53:37,700 --> 00:53:41,200 paperwork, guess whose name is not on the paperwork. 913 00:53:41,259 --> 00:53:45,819 Adam Curry: Nipsey Hussle, exactly. Yeah, that figures 914 00:53:46,300 --> 00:53:51,580 Moe Factz: it's proven, and it's so much so that David Gross has 915 00:53:51,580 --> 00:53:56,200 been getting death threats over this because people feel like he 916 00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:57,280 used Nipsey Hussle, 917 00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:01,500 Adam Curry: why? You know, when it's so obvious that this 918 00:54:01,500 --> 00:54:04,740 happens. Why do people still buy this? They not care, and 919 00:54:04,740 --> 00:54:07,080 especially people who are living in the neighborhood that is 920 00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:13,380 about to be gentrified. And Jay Z admits, it says, it says, Hey, 921 00:54:13,380 --> 00:54:17,160 we got to do it before, and he's in the process of doing it in in 922 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:17,700 Brooklyn, 923 00:54:18,539 --> 00:54:21,079 Moe Factz: it's not the people that live in the neighborhood 924 00:54:21,139 --> 00:54:25,579 that are for it. It's you shaping popular opinion of the 925 00:54:25,579 --> 00:54:29,419 people outside, right? That where the people that you sell 926 00:54:29,419 --> 00:54:34,399 your products to? As we know, rap music is not majority bought 927 00:54:34,399 --> 00:54:39,139 by black people. No, it's bought by teenage white girls, exactly. 928 00:54:39,319 --> 00:54:43,179 So with that the case, they got to make sure they keep it real, 929 00:54:43,179 --> 00:54:46,959 quote, unquote, keep it real so that you don't seem like you're 930 00:54:46,959 --> 00:54:51,399 selling out. So you keep your fan base all the while pushing 931 00:54:51,399 --> 00:54:56,439 these capitalistic ideas that will victimize the people that 932 00:54:56,439 --> 00:54:59,919 live in those neighborhoods, right? And that's what they do. 933 00:54:59,999 --> 00:55:02,699 So let's, let's listen to why they use Nipsey Hussle, 934 00:55:03,299 --> 00:55:05,939 Unknown: I think one of the things I want to point out, and 935 00:55:05,999 --> 00:55:10,199 and you've seen it woven through the discussion and in today, but 936 00:55:10,199 --> 00:55:13,319 the there's a lot of concern about the opportunity zones, 937 00:55:13,619 --> 00:55:16,739 that money will come into the community and overwhelm the 938 00:55:16,739 --> 00:55:20,359 community and push people out. The great thing about our 939 00:55:20,359 --> 00:55:25,999 opportunity is that it identifies the players and the 940 00:55:25,999 --> 00:55:29,479 value in the community and tries to get the money behind them. 941 00:55:29,479 --> 00:55:32,299 And so we take someone like Nipsey Hussle, who's been 942 00:55:32,299 --> 00:55:36,619 demonstrating his skill, his value, what he can bring to the 943 00:55:36,619 --> 00:55:39,559 neighborhood, and it gets the resources behind him so that he 944 00:55:39,559 --> 00:55:43,239 can own slaloson Plaza. And let me just point out slawson Plaza. 945 00:55:44,379 --> 00:55:48,699 The Olympics are coming to Los Angeles in 2028 every person 946 00:55:48,699 --> 00:55:54,459 that takes mass transit from LAX has to make a train stop at 947 00:55:54,459 --> 00:56:00,539 Sloss and Plaza, every single person, bar none. So that's the 948 00:56:00,539 --> 00:56:03,839 kind of information we try to, again, pair together and say, 949 00:56:03,839 --> 00:56:05,339 This is a opportunity. 950 00:56:05,820 --> 00:56:09,240 Moe Factz: Now remind me, who is this speaking that is the 951 00:56:10,140 --> 00:56:13,860 councilman of that I'm saying, of that district. 952 00:56:15,059 --> 00:56:17,819 Adam Curry: Wow, he was also know this about the that being 953 00:56:17,819 --> 00:56:20,099 the stop. That's fantastic, right? 954 00:56:20,099 --> 00:56:22,399 Moe Factz: So I cover that in my video. If you guys want to go 955 00:56:22,399 --> 00:56:25,219 check that out, and they even mentioned it in the article. 956 00:56:25,399 --> 00:56:30,259 This is not new. It says. In the meantime, a light rail line is 957 00:56:30,259 --> 00:56:33,859 rising to link Crenshaw, which is crucially qualifies as a tax 958 00:56:33,859 --> 00:56:37,219 advantage opportunity zone, to Los Angeles International 959 00:56:37,219 --> 00:56:43,419 Airport. So this thing is sitting on a gold mine. Wow, a 960 00:56:43,419 --> 00:56:47,439 gold mine, especially with the 22,028 961 00:56:48,820 --> 00:56:52,780 Adam Curry: Olympics coming now, to be fair, if, and I don't know 962 00:56:52,780 --> 00:56:58,480 anything about the area, other than the strip mall, it, yeah, 963 00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:02,580 it would push people out, but it would, by default, also bring a 964 00:57:02,580 --> 00:57:05,640 lot of money into that very neighborhood. I mean, I can see 965 00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:09,000 how you can turn around and say, Yo, yo, yo, but it's gonna bring 966 00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,580 money in. It's just, you'll have to move back a little bit. But I 967 00:57:11,580 --> 00:57:12,960 can see where that would work. 968 00:57:13,739 --> 00:57:16,979 Moe Factz: If you look at my video, you'll see how they use 969 00:57:16,979 --> 00:57:21,859 the rails system to put people out of business that were, you 970 00:57:21,859 --> 00:57:24,199 know, the the mom and pop shops in that community 971 00:57:24,259 --> 00:57:25,579 Adam Curry: that's called progress. Mo, right, 972 00:57:27,199 --> 00:57:29,839 Moe Factz: right. The other thing is that you cover on the 973 00:57:29,839 --> 00:57:33,979 no agenda show is, where do these people go? Crenshaw was 974 00:57:33,979 --> 00:57:38,059 the last stop for a reason. Yeah. After that, you living in 975 00:57:38,059 --> 00:57:44,979 RVs tents, you know. So it's once you take the last refuge 976 00:57:44,979 --> 00:57:49,299 for poor people and like, I'm not anti capital, I'm not anti 977 00:57:50,379 --> 00:57:55,779 money making. But my problem is the hypocrisy. Yeah, because 978 00:57:55,779 --> 00:57:59,679 it's one thing I said in this statement that I just read tax 979 00:57:59,679 --> 00:58:02,279 advantage opportunity zone. Do you know? Do you are you 980 00:58:02,279 --> 00:58:03,119 familiar with that? 981 00:58:03,659 --> 00:58:08,819 Adam Curry: I know, but I can surmise that it means, if you 982 00:58:08,819 --> 00:58:12,959 commit to putting money into a certain area, then you will have 983 00:58:12,959 --> 00:58:17,099 tax, no tax, or tax breaks, maybe even a refund, based upon 984 00:58:17,099 --> 00:58:20,479 what you're doing. Happens all the time. It's similar to Amazon 985 00:58:20,479 --> 00:58:24,979 coming into, coming into New York, and getting all kinds of 986 00:58:24,979 --> 00:58:27,199 tax breaks correct. 987 00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,260 Moe Factz: And I want to get to the punchline here. But let's 988 00:58:30,260 --> 00:58:34,760 first, let's listen to TI TI on the war on drugs. You know, 989 00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,240 Unknown: it's giving us a chance to pass on more to our kids and 990 00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:42,640 just trauma, you know. And, I think that, you know, we come 991 00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:45,220 from environments where you have people that are dealing with a 992 00:58:45,220 --> 00:58:47,800 lot of pain, and they're dealing with a lot of hurt, and I think 993 00:58:47,860 --> 00:58:50,620 environment plays a big role in that. You know, the conditions 994 00:58:50,620 --> 00:58:52,840 that you grow up in play a big role in that. A lot of these 995 00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:55,540 brothers and sisters is just products of their environment. 996 00:58:55,540 --> 00:58:58,000 So I think when you're creating something like our opportunity, 997 00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:00,180 where you're keeping the money in the community and you're 998 00:59:00,180 --> 00:59:03,000 providing opportunities for the community. You're making people 999 00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,580 feel like better versions of themselves, you know. And if you 1000 00:59:05,580 --> 00:59:07,740 feel like a better version of yourself, if you truly, you 1001 00:59:07,740 --> 00:59:10,200 know, love yourself, you truly value yourself and appreciate 1002 00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:12,480 yourself and appreciate your community, then you'll love, 1003 00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:14,940 value and appreciate your brother and sister. And I think 1004 00:59:14,940 --> 00:59:17,940 that's how you stop, you know, these generational cycles of 1005 00:59:17,940 --> 00:59:20,360 pain, because I think that all we end up doing is 1006 00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:23,420 redistributing pain to people that look just like us, and I 1007 00:59:23,420 --> 00:59:25,220 think this is just one of the ways to break 1008 00:59:25,220 --> 00:59:28,220 the cycle. I agree, and I don't think there is enough 1009 00:59:28,220 --> 00:59:34,100 consideration given to the effects of the so called War on 1010 00:59:34,100 --> 00:59:41,200 Drugs, the crack epidemic, mass incarceration and the project 1011 00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:47,260 systems that have plagued these communities that are now 1012 00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:53,080 seemingly investment dreams for people who didn't have to 1013 00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:55,000 withstand the conditions of 1014 00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,820 these environments. You know. 1015 00:59:59,679 --> 01:00:01,439 Adam Curry: Thank. For paving the way. Now get out. 1016 01:00:01,980 --> 01:00:04,620 Moe Factz: The problem with that statement is a couple issues 1017 01:00:04,620 --> 01:00:07,620 here, one on one side the conversation you have 1018 01:00:07,620 --> 01:00:10,680 Charlamagne, the God called the guard. He was saying he's 1019 01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:15,300 protecting a woman that supported mass incarceration. 1020 01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:19,800 He's done it twice, two times in a row. He was he was pro Hillary 1021 01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:26,240 Clinton in a general election, 2016 which we all know her role 1022 01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:31,340 in mass incarceration. If you want to go conspiracy theory, we 1023 01:00:31,340 --> 01:00:33,980 know what the function of Mina Arkansas was. 1024 01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:36,560 Adam Curry: Yes, that's where the apparently, the drugs were 1025 01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:40,480 flown and the arms were flown for the but the drugs came in 1026 01:00:41,020 --> 01:00:45,040 for the Iran Contra deal and then were sold on the streets of 1027 01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:45,940 Los Angeles, 1028 01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:48,340 Moe Factz: correct? And both of these guys are Die Hard 1029 01:00:48,340 --> 01:00:51,700 Democrats. On the other side of the conversation, you have Mr. 1030 01:00:51,700 --> 01:00:57,100 Ti who is one of the founders of what you call trap rap, which is 1031 01:00:57,100 --> 01:01:02,700 nothing but glorifying saying, the selling of drugs, the 1032 01:01:02,700 --> 01:01:07,140 killing of young black men. And I want to say this, I enjoy rap 1033 01:01:07,140 --> 01:01:09,900 music just like everybody else. You look you listen to it like 1034 01:01:09,900 --> 01:01:12,960 you watch a mob movie or anything else, but when you 1035 01:01:13,020 --> 01:01:17,100 perpetuate it like a lifestyle to be achieved after that's the 1036 01:01:17,100 --> 01:01:19,560 problem I have. And then you want to say, oh, we need to 1037 01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:22,460 blame the war on drugs. Dude, they were, they were kicking 1038 01:01:22,460 --> 01:01:25,460 down doors to take out people like you, right? You, you're 1039 01:01:25,460 --> 01:01:29,420 saying your music is the one that was supporting this 1040 01:01:29,420 --> 01:01:34,220 lifestyle so much so this guy even opened a trap music museum 1041 01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:36,680 that looked like a trap house. And what people don't know, what 1042 01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,560 a trap house is the same thing as a crack house. And so you 1043 01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:43,600 had, you got the stove with them cooking crack up and all these 1044 01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:50,020 things, and you're monetizing this, um, this, um, negative 1045 01:01:50,020 --> 01:01:53,260 behavior in our community that tore it down. So, but then you 1046 01:01:53,260 --> 01:01:55,660 want to turn around profit off the results of it 1047 01:01:56,860 --> 01:01:59,680 Adam Curry: is, uh, so where, where is Ti in this? I mean, 1048 01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:01,560 what side of the fence is he on? 1049 01:02:02,039 --> 01:02:04,979 Moe Factz: He's on the side of the money. He's gonna be, he's 1050 01:02:04,979 --> 01:02:07,559 gonna be the face of Atlanta, right? I mean, what they did was 1051 01:02:07,559 --> 01:02:12,359 they found these different hubs. You have Jay Z in New York, you 1052 01:02:12,359 --> 01:02:17,039 have Nipsey in California, you have ti in Georgia. I'm sure 1053 01:02:17,039 --> 01:02:20,539 they have somebody in Miami or Florida or somewhere, all these, 1054 01:02:20,599 --> 01:02:25,399 uh, opportunity zones now, um, that's, you know what? I've 1055 01:02:25,399 --> 01:02:28,459 killed that horse. I don't want to keep going down the war, but 1056 01:02:28,459 --> 01:02:32,419 the war on drugs, like I said, um, dude, you the one that 1057 01:02:32,419 --> 01:02:35,479 you're saying that glorify this lifestyle that these young men 1058 01:02:35,479 --> 01:02:38,839 go out, go out. And we talked about how the men were taken out 1059 01:02:38,839 --> 01:02:42,639 of the household, and these young men without fathers look 1060 01:02:42,639 --> 01:02:47,739 up to these rappers, and you've profited off this lifestyle. And 1061 01:02:47,739 --> 01:02:54,099 let's just to be honest, ti has been very he's benefited from 1062 01:02:54,219 --> 01:02:57,579 some windfalls from the justice system as well. He was caught 1063 01:02:57,579 --> 01:03:02,099 with a ray of guns being a convicted felon, and got, like, 1064 01:03:02,159 --> 01:03:06,839 two years, a year or two years, Tom, come on. So when we look at 1065 01:03:06,839 --> 01:03:09,359 these people, we got to start asking, why are they getting 1066 01:03:09,359 --> 01:03:11,939 off? And then they turn around and push these political 1067 01:03:13,859 --> 01:03:14,579 motives. So 1068 01:03:14,580 --> 01:03:16,560 Adam Curry: the first thing out, first thing I'd ask, is, who was 1069 01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:23,300 the district attorney where he was convicted of the weapons 1070 01:03:23,300 --> 01:03:23,840 charge. 1071 01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:26,660 Moe Factz: That's a good question. And why did, why was 1072 01:03:26,660 --> 01:03:29,780 he given such a been on such a lenient sentence? Well, I don't 1073 01:03:29,780 --> 01:03:33,680 see anybody locked up, but then when you get out now, you become 1074 01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:39,320 this political voice. So much so, um, I'm going, I've skipped 1075 01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:41,860 over something. I just want to go back the word opportunities 1076 01:03:41,860 --> 01:03:44,500 home. Now you laid out you said, it seems like a tax break, 1077 01:03:44,500 --> 01:03:49,060 right? Yeah, it is a tax break. And guess where it came from. 1078 01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:58,840 Trump's 2017 tax plan. I would drop my mic if it wasn't you're 1079 01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:00,180 saying, yeah, don't 1080 01:04:00,180 --> 01:04:05,400 Adam Curry: it would break if you did it, right? Wow. Okay, 1081 01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:10,380 Moe Factz: so these guys are out here benefiting off of track 1082 01:04:10,380 --> 01:04:15,780 Trump's opportunity zones. At the same time, they're anti 1083 01:04:15,780 --> 01:04:20,960 Trump. You're saying speaking to the masses, but they're getting 1084 01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:24,140 rich off of his saying, off of his tax cuts. It's like, Oh, 1085 01:04:24,740 --> 01:04:29,240 that is moral standing, and that's why I'm so animated about 1086 01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:33,980 this, because it pisses me off so bad. Um, let's just listen to 1087 01:04:33,980 --> 01:04:36,920 TI. Um, listen. Talk about Donald Trump. If you support 1088 01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:40,540 Donald Trump, okay, you know, sorry, this 1089 01:04:42,639 --> 01:04:46,419 Unknown: one, I seen you taking some some some shots at Trump, 1090 01:04:46,419 --> 01:04:50,499 making a statement. Well, you know what I mean? You know 1091 01:04:50,559 --> 01:04:52,959 you're telling all your fans, don't mess 1092 01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:57,460 with it. He misuse and abuse his power to the point where he uses 1093 01:04:57,460 --> 01:05:02,820 his money and his info. Noise to tell people to do things that 1094 01:05:02,820 --> 01:05:06,720 are harmful to my people. Well, I just want him to know how 1095 01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:11,760 frowned upon that is in my community. Start with me if I 1096 01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:15,000 stand on a certain platform and I use my money and my influence 1097 01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:18,180 and tell a lot of people that follow me, hey, guess what? You 1098 01:05:18,180 --> 01:05:21,740 go and hurt those people. I will pay your legal fees, right? I 1099 01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:26,000 will take care of you. If you do this for me, I will make sure 1100 01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:28,880 that you're strict, that you're straight, not if I do that, you 1101 01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:31,340 know that's no that's no different than, you know, than 1102 01:05:31,340 --> 01:05:34,700 how they view the leader of some of you know, some of the 1103 01:05:34,700 --> 01:05:37,880 organized crime syndicates. So, I mean, you know what he's doing 1104 01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:38,720 is really illegal. 1105 01:05:39,020 --> 01:05:42,520 If a Trump supporter was a fan of yours. Would you, would you 1106 01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:44,680 let him buy your album? Or would you say, I don't want your 1107 01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:44,920 money? 1108 01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:48,940 I mean, if he, if he supports all of his actions, man, right 1109 01:05:48,940 --> 01:05:52,180 and wrong. I mean, if he supports all his actions and 1110 01:05:52,180 --> 01:05:54,700 knowledgeable of how he feels, I don't want to worry about my 1111 01:05:54,700 --> 01:05:57,460 music. I rather he did, because I just don't think that that's 1112 01:05:57,460 --> 01:06:00,220 that's not the road that I traveled down. Yeah, something's 1113 01:06:00,220 --> 01:06:01,140 more important than 1114 01:06:02,219 --> 01:06:05,519 Adam Curry: money to read, huh? Well, of course, we've got to 1115 01:06:05,699 --> 01:06:10,139 denounce the evil Orange Man, but at the same time, take full 1116 01:06:10,139 --> 01:06:16,619 advantage. And it sounds like specifically targeting the use 1117 01:06:16,679 --> 01:06:19,619 of the OPT the tax break opportunity zone. 1118 01:06:20,219 --> 01:06:22,879 Moe Factz: And did you hear what he said? He said, If you use 1119 01:06:22,879 --> 01:06:26,419 your platform, this knows this is going to affect my people. 1120 01:06:26,479 --> 01:06:29,779 You know, do you using your platform to affect our people 1121 01:06:29,779 --> 01:06:33,199 negatively? What are you talking about? These people live in 1122 01:06:33,199 --> 01:06:36,259 these poor neighborhoods because they have nowhere else to go. 1123 01:06:36,259 --> 01:06:36,559 Now, let 1124 01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:39,680 Adam Curry: me ask a question. Let me ask a question. These I 1125 01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:41,920 want to understand these opportunity zones. I never 1126 01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:45,100 really looked into the Trump tax breaks too deeply, because I 1127 01:06:45,100 --> 01:06:52,480 don't think I qualify for the good stuff. Are these mal intent 1128 01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:57,100 these opportunity zones? Or is the idea good but being misused, 1129 01:06:57,100 --> 01:06:59,380 or is what do you know about them? 1130 01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:03,420 Moe Factz: I'll let Trump explain opportunity zones to 1131 01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:06,300 Unknown: you. We want all Americans to share in our great 1132 01:07:06,300 --> 01:07:10,860 economic renewal. That's why governors in all 50 states and 1133 01:07:10,860 --> 01:07:15,720 the territories have designated 8700 neighborhoods as 1134 01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:21,500 opportunity zones. Hard to believe, 8700 household income 1135 01:07:21,620 --> 01:07:27,860 in these communities is 37% less than the median income in a 1136 01:07:27,860 --> 01:07:32,180 state as a whole. So it's 37% down, and we're catching them 1137 01:07:32,180 --> 01:07:36,140 fast. In order to revitalize these areas, we've lowered the 1138 01:07:36,140 --> 01:07:39,740 capital gains tax for long term Investment and Opportunity zones 1139 01:07:40,700 --> 01:07:45,820 all the way down to a very big fat, beautiful number of 00, 1140 01:07:52,059 --> 01:07:54,999 Adam Curry: all right, all right. Please tell me then that 1141 01:07:54,999 --> 01:08:00,279 these opportunity zones are that that the rich real estate 1142 01:08:00,279 --> 01:08:05,459 developers are not eligible directly to do something, but 1143 01:08:05,459 --> 01:08:08,459 the intent was to have the community themselves develop, 1144 01:08:08,459 --> 01:08:12,779 and then it would make sense that these opportunity zone 1145 01:08:13,379 --> 01:08:17,279 leeches want to get someone from that community to be their 1146 01:08:17,279 --> 01:08:19,619 figurehead. Is that how it how it fits together? 1147 01:08:20,039 --> 01:08:22,099 Moe Factz: That's how it fits together. Damn. 1148 01:08:22,580 --> 01:08:25,100 Adam Curry: That is cynical. That is cynical 1149 01:08:25,939 --> 01:08:31,279 Moe Factz: and right? And thing is, is, if you want to be, you 1150 01:08:31,279 --> 01:08:34,099 know, capitalistic, if you want to make money, that's your 1151 01:08:34,099 --> 01:08:39,199 thing. But you can't say you're for your people and turn around 1152 01:08:39,199 --> 01:08:43,179 and use Trump's tax cuts. Who you say is the boogeyman, who is 1153 01:08:43,179 --> 01:08:46,839 a bad guy? You don't tell black people how to take advantage of 1154 01:08:46,839 --> 01:08:49,419 these things until they're all sold up. I mean all the 1155 01:08:49,419 --> 01:08:51,519 property. I mean all the properties been we were in 2019 1156 01:08:52,299 --> 01:08:54,399 now, when they start talking about these things, the tax 1157 01:08:54,399 --> 01:08:57,759 thing, the tax bill, went through it in 2017 two years 1158 01:08:57,759 --> 01:09:02,459 later, all the good properties been bought up, right? Um, so 1159 01:09:02,459 --> 01:09:06,659 it's just, it just drives me crazy. Just, 1160 01:09:07,619 --> 01:09:09,959 Adam Curry: I just want to make sure okay. Do you know the 1161 01:09:09,959 --> 01:09:12,839 stipulations about these opportunities? What I'm worried 1162 01:09:12,839 --> 01:09:16,799 about now that I hear this is that these opportunity zones 1163 01:09:16,799 --> 01:09:21,739 were always meant for rich developers, ie, you know, Donald 1164 01:09:21,739 --> 01:09:25,399 Trump's and other cities to go around and gentrify everything. 1165 01:09:25,579 --> 01:09:28,519 Or, do you know if there were stipulations that you know you 1166 01:09:28,519 --> 01:09:31,099 couldn't just do that as a regular developer? I mean, do 1167 01:09:31,099 --> 01:09:32,779 you know any of the background of that? No, 1168 01:09:32,779 --> 01:09:35,599 Moe Factz: it's the wild wild west. If you got money you want 1169 01:09:35,719 --> 01:09:40,359 to invest in the opportunity zones and like, let's just go 1170 01:09:40,359 --> 01:09:43,719 not all opportunity zones are created equal. 1171 01:09:44,979 --> 01:09:47,799 Unknown: Yes, got it. On the one hand, you've got places like 1172 01:09:47,799 --> 01:09:51,219 Puerto Rico, basically the entire island is an opportunity 1173 01:09:51,219 --> 01:09:54,519 zone, and they are clearly in need of fresh investment. On the 1174 01:09:54,519 --> 01:09:57,699 other hand, you've got places like the affluent DC suburbs, 1175 01:09:57,879 --> 01:10:00,359 right outside of Washington, the neighborhood where. Local 1176 01:10:00,359 --> 01:10:04,559 officials are trying to lure Amazon's HQ to that is also an 1177 01:10:04,559 --> 01:10:07,919 opportunity zone. So that report from Brookings found that of the 1178 01:10:07,979 --> 01:10:12,959 8700 opportunity zones across the country, 11% have poverty 1179 01:10:12,959 --> 01:10:16,619 rates that are actually below the national average. College 1180 01:10:16,619 --> 01:10:19,319 towns like the one around Texas A and M and the University of 1181 01:10:19,319 --> 01:10:22,819 Southern California, they also qualified, so the report 1182 01:10:22,819 --> 01:10:25,579 questions whether this program will really direct money to 1183 01:10:25,579 --> 01:10:28,459 distressed communities, or whether it's just another tax 1184 01:10:28,459 --> 01:10:31,879 haven for the rich. Now the Treasury Department says that it 1185 01:10:31,879 --> 01:10:34,999 intentionally gave states a lot of flexibility to choose which 1186 01:10:34,999 --> 01:10:37,759 neighborhoods make the cut, and supporters argue they had to 1187 01:10:37,759 --> 01:10:40,839 strike a balance and look for places that need the investment, 1188 01:10:40,899 --> 01:10:44,379 but also have market potential guys, investors are just now 1189 01:10:44,379 --> 01:10:47,139 starting to raise money and understand how this program is 1190 01:10:47,139 --> 01:10:50,799 going to work. 2019, will be the real test of whether the cash 1191 01:10:50,799 --> 01:10:54,399 gets to communities that need it. Back over to you. Okay, 1192 01:10:54,399 --> 01:10:59,199 Adam Curry: so regardless, the smart way, the smart money to 1193 01:10:59,199 --> 01:11:02,879 shield themselves from criticism. Got a lot of these 1194 01:11:02,939 --> 01:11:07,199 guys and brought them in and said, Okay, here's your here's 1195 01:11:07,199 --> 01:11:10,499 your cut, and now let's it's all you and you're great for your 1196 01:11:10,499 --> 01:11:12,959 community. And let's go and do it. 1197 01:11:13,020 --> 01:11:15,060 Moe Factz: Yep, that's how it works. And the other thing is, 1198 01:11:15,060 --> 01:11:19,260 if you, if you listen to closely in that clip, only 11% of the 1199 01:11:19,260 --> 01:11:25,640 opportunity zones are in poor neighborhoods. Oh, yeah, so, and 1200 01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:27,200 this is where I get pissed. That was 1201 01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:28,700 Adam Curry: the that was the governor's choice, if I 1202 01:11:28,700 --> 01:11:31,280 understood the clip properly. But this 1203 01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:34,100 Moe Factz: is where I get I'm saying a little pissed at Trump 1204 01:11:34,700 --> 01:11:35,600 and 1205 01:11:36,440 --> 01:11:39,860 Adam Curry: Ben Carson. Right? Carson would be involved in that 1206 01:11:39,860 --> 01:11:41,980 is right. This is hood. This 1207 01:11:41,979 --> 01:11:46,719 Moe Factz: is all hood. What they did was they took the easy 1208 01:11:46,719 --> 01:11:49,419 way out. Say thanks. You pick where the opportunity, 1209 01:11:49,419 --> 01:11:53,199 opportunity zones are. We won't push back. I mean, coach like, 1210 01:11:53,199 --> 01:11:57,699 um, so everybody's, you know, saying, you know, saying 1211 01:11:57,699 --> 01:12:02,639 absolved or any blame, and nothing goes to help. The 1212 01:12:02,639 --> 01:12:06,299 majority of what this has been labeled as helping poor people, 1213 01:12:06,539 --> 01:12:09,059 and the poor people that the poor neighborhood that actually 1214 01:12:09,059 --> 01:12:13,499 help at the people be displaced. So it's just going to be totally 1215 01:12:13,499 --> 01:12:19,679 negative, negative for poor people. Um, so I mean, like you 1216 01:12:19,679 --> 01:12:22,999 said, if there's nothing there. They won't call it an 1217 01:12:22,999 --> 01:12:25,879 opportunity zone. And then the money won't flow there, right? 1218 01:12:25,879 --> 01:12:28,879 And this is where, this is where I get pissed at, back at Jay Z 1219 01:12:28,879 --> 01:12:36,319 and TI and these people only 11% Yeah, I'm big on percentages. 1220 01:12:37,939 --> 01:12:40,339 Let's go with the reparation thing. You can't give me 10% 1221 01:12:40,759 --> 01:12:43,119 you're saying I'm not gonna take the kind of cut, right? Cut, 1222 01:12:43,119 --> 01:12:48,099 right? You can't say this is opportunity zones only 11% and I 1223 01:12:48,099 --> 01:12:53,199 know why they use 11% so you can say over 10% you know talking 1224 01:12:53,199 --> 01:12:57,579 points. I know how this game works. Yeah, that's a weird 1225 01:12:57,579 --> 01:13:02,759 number to use 11% but this money is not going to flow where it 1226 01:13:02,759 --> 01:13:05,339 needs to help at all. 1227 01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:07,860 Adam Curry: So it was, it was always a failed program to start 1228 01:13:07,860 --> 01:13:08,940 with. It 1229 01:13:08,940 --> 01:13:12,840 Moe Factz: was a vehicle for when Trump allowed his you're 1230 01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:16,200 saying the rich to bring their money back on shore, right, 1231 01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:21,200 right, right. They needed a tax shelter. And they said, Hmm, 1232 01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:27,440 what tax shelter? Can we create great idea, opportunity zones 1233 01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:32,600 the left, not the left, but the guys that's supposed to be anti 1234 01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:34,940 Trump love it because it's a great word opportunity. They're 1235 01:13:34,940 --> 01:13:37,820 throwing this word opportunity around, like, you know, like, 1236 01:13:37,820 --> 01:13:42,400 change in 2008 it was like, oh, yeah, opportunity, opportunity 1237 01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:46,960 for everybody. Yeah, no, this. This only benefits people with 1238 01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:49,360 capital gains. And I had a conversation with one of my 1239 01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:51,700 friends. He's in the real estate, he's an entrepreneur, 1240 01:13:52,180 --> 01:13:54,820 and he doesn't make enough capital gains to take advantage 1241 01:13:54,820 --> 01:13:57,340 of this. And if he wanted to take advantage, I wouldn't have 1242 01:13:57,340 --> 01:13:59,680 a problem with him, because he's not out here preaching in the 1243 01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:03,840 streets about being, you know, being a social justice warrior 1244 01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:06,360 and a change agent, you know, he's trying to make, you're 1245 01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:08,820 saying, make good on, you know, on his investments. I don't have 1246 01:14:08,820 --> 01:14:11,940 any problem with that. It's the hypocrisy I have a problem with. 1247 01:14:12,300 --> 01:14:13,140 And somehow I 1248 01:14:13,140 --> 01:14:16,200 Adam Curry: got a feeling that hedge fund that Charlemagne was 1249 01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:19,800 talking about may be involved in some of these opportunity zones. 1250 01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:21,560 And am I stealing that? Right? Mo, 1251 01:14:21,920 --> 01:14:23,840 Moe Factz: and you don't even have to invest. Here's the other 1252 01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:26,600 thing, and you'll see this in my video, you don't even have to 1253 01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:30,680 invest your money into the zone itself. They create what's 1254 01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:35,480 called an opportunity fund. So it's a fund is created, yeah. 1255 01:14:35,540 --> 01:14:39,680 And you invest your money into fund, yeah. And then, and the 1256 01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:43,720 thing, here's a kicker, only 30% and now look at this. Listen to 1257 01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:46,240 these percentages. I know I'm a little animated today, but it 1258 01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:52,120 just I mean this is this really gets into my skin. So 11% of all 1259 01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:57,100 opportunity zones are important neighborhoods, and then 30% of 1260 01:14:57,100 --> 01:15:00,360 your business only has to take place in an opportunity. Zone. 1261 01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:06,179 Adam Curry: I'm laughing, but it's so cruel, 1262 01:15:07,319 --> 01:15:12,239 Moe Factz: right? Who are we helping here? And you know what? 1263 01:15:12,239 --> 01:15:15,119 I don't even know if it's a good thing or bad thing. If only 11% 1264 01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:19,319 because Jesus Christ, if it was 50 or 60% you have wiped out 1265 01:15:19,319 --> 01:15:21,079 homeless people everywhere. Yeah, 1266 01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:24,800 Adam Curry: wow. Okay, all 1267 01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:27,740 Moe Factz: right, so let's look at the concerns of opportunity 1268 01:15:27,740 --> 01:15:28,760 zones. Well, the 1269 01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:30,380 Unknown: government is sweetening the deal for 1270 01:15:30,380 --> 01:15:32,840 investors who put their money into San Diego's most 1271 01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:35,660 underserved neighborhoods. It's a potential solution to our 1272 01:15:35,660 --> 01:15:38,420 housing crisis that we're exploring as part of our making 1273 01:15:38,420 --> 01:15:40,300 it in San Diego initiative. Our tennis 1274 01:15:40,300 --> 01:15:43,180 reporter John horn explains why longtime residents are concerned 1275 01:15:43,180 --> 01:15:47,320 that plan could backfire. This intersection overlooks much of 1276 01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:50,440 the Colina Del Sol neighborhood here in the City Heights area. 1277 01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:53,860 It's a part of San Diego that Zillow says is ripe for new 1278 01:15:53,860 --> 01:15:55,540 housing. It's been expensive to live here, 1279 01:15:55,540 --> 01:15:57,400 but it's expensive to live anywhere. Tommy 1280 01:15:57,400 --> 01:16:01,020 Barnett has called Colina Del Sol home for the past nine 1281 01:16:01,020 --> 01:16:04,740 years, the price, like everywhere else, going up, 1282 01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:08,400 starting at 12 or 13 for a one bedroom. Still, the government 1283 01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:13,260 designated this area as an opportunity zone, or as the IRS 1284 01:16:13,260 --> 01:16:17,100 puts it, economically distressed. Our region has about 1285 01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:21,500 30 of these zones. Most in the city of San Diego's inner core. 1286 01:16:21,500 --> 01:16:21,740 There's 1287 01:16:21,740 --> 01:16:24,980 nothing around. There's no area for you to be able to buy or 1288 01:16:24,980 --> 01:16:26,360 place any new building on. 1289 01:16:26,359 --> 01:16:30,379 That now appears to be changing the opportunity Zone Program 1290 01:16:30,379 --> 01:16:35,119 part of 2017 tax reform offers tax breaks to investors who 1291 01:16:35,119 --> 01:16:38,719 inject their dollars into these neighborhoods, but instead of 1292 01:16:38,719 --> 01:16:42,159 making life more affordable, Zillow says home prices in 1293 01:16:42,159 --> 01:16:44,979 opportunity zones grew 20% in 1294 01:16:44,979 --> 01:16:48,219 a year. There are still as many questions as there are answers 1295 01:16:48,219 --> 01:16:49,119 out there. Eric 1296 01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:52,240 tilkemeyer Does economic development in city heights, 1297 01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:56,380 also an opportunity zone. He's working with policymakers to 1298 01:16:56,380 --> 01:16:59,500 make sure the new investments benefit the community. We're 1299 01:16:59,500 --> 01:16:59,800 Park 1300 01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:03,060 deficient. Our sidewalks are deplorable in a number of 1301 01:17:03,060 --> 01:17:05,940 neighborhoods are the walkability is not, is not what 1302 01:17:05,940 --> 01:17:09,960 it should be. The challenge is all of those same improvements 1303 01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:11,580 tend to cause gentrification, 1304 01:17:11,580 --> 01:17:14,760 in other words, keeping residents like Barnett from 1305 01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:18,480 being priced out of their own neighborhoods. John horn 10 1306 01:17:18,480 --> 01:17:18,960 News, 1307 01:17:19,200 --> 01:17:22,280 Adam Curry: so I looked up I live in Austin, Texas, 1308 01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:27,980 opportunity zones in the city of Austin. There are 21 census 1309 01:17:27,980 --> 01:17:31,760 tracks designed as opportunity zones in the city of Austin. And 1310 01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:34,460 this is something that you may not know, but when I when an 1311 01:17:34,460 --> 01:17:38,420 Austinite reads, the majority of zones are located to the east of 1312 01:17:38,420 --> 01:17:43,600 interstate 35 which is where I live, and I see what's going on 1313 01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:47,680 here. Bingo makes total sense. 1314 01:17:50,620 --> 01:17:55,120 Moe Factz: And just to bring it full circle, now you see why I 1315 01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:59,980 am hesitant when people say government programs, yeah, when 1316 01:17:59,980 --> 01:18:03,540 they talk about reparations. No, right? 1317 01:18:03,540 --> 01:18:05,820 Adam Curry: You could even fold this into a reparations 1318 01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:07,860 Assistance Program. Is 1319 01:18:07,859 --> 01:18:11,099 Moe Factz: that, and this is how, just the now we're we back 1320 01:18:11,099 --> 01:18:15,719 where we started. This is when Kamala Harris, black, what was, 1321 01:18:15,719 --> 01:18:18,839 what was it? The, uh, the housing program she had, you 1322 01:18:18,839 --> 01:18:23,059 covered it, um, that was gonna help, help black people that she 1323 01:18:23,059 --> 01:18:24,619 spoke about the essence festival, 1324 01:18:24,740 --> 01:18:31,640 Adam Curry: oh, it's the yes, it's no, it's okay. It was the 1325 01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:37,460 low income something. But it turned out was like a combined 1326 01:18:37,460 --> 01:18:42,040 under had to be under $100,000 of income, and that would be, I 1327 01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:46,060 think, to help people purchase first homes. Or, I'm a little 1328 01:18:46,060 --> 01:18:49,480 little shaky on it, but I do remember the bar was set very 1329 01:18:49,480 --> 01:18:53,380 high, at $100,000 which would mean, no way is that just for 1330 01:18:53,380 --> 01:18:54,040 poor people. 1331 01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:57,760 Moe Factz: So what you have is two college graduates just 1332 01:18:57,760 --> 01:18:59,800 coming out of college, or one college graduate that's, 1333 01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:03,000 understand, gainfully employed that falls just under that bar, 1334 01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:07,380 and they'll come in and buy a condo in these gentrified areas. 1335 01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:12,000 You've talked about it before, how the people are okay with 1336 01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:14,700 living with next to nothing, these micro apartments, open 1337 01:19:14,700 --> 01:19:18,600 air, open air, dorm rooms. Oh, my God, it's 1338 01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:22,460 Adam Curry: right in South Austin on Congress Avenue. 1339 01:19:22,460 --> 01:19:25,220 They're building micro apartments. It's, it's, and 1340 01:19:25,220 --> 01:19:28,100 it's, you know, right near the the main hub of the city, 1341 01:19:28,220 --> 01:19:32,420 they're going to be, I think, something like 400 square feet 1342 01:19:32,420 --> 01:19:34,040 or something, right? 1343 01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:37,880 Moe Factz: And I covered that in my video, like I said, I've been 1344 01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:41,680 on this beat for a minute, but it's just funny that it popped 1345 01:19:41,680 --> 01:19:46,180 up. Charlemagne is on this panel this think tank, and this is 1346 01:19:46,180 --> 01:19:49,600 what the Boulet looks like, folks. You have politicians, 1347 01:19:49,600 --> 01:19:55,360 entertainers, media, and you have white backing money. 1348 01:19:55,480 --> 01:19:59,080 Forbes. Forbes is one that hosted, and for the females, you 1349 01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:03,300 had politicians. In media, they didn't have any entertainers, 1350 01:20:03,900 --> 01:20:07,380 but they showed you what how important the entertainers were 1351 01:20:07,380 --> 01:20:10,020 when they said that Beyonce and Oprah and them were replaced 1352 01:20:10,020 --> 01:20:15,540 Jesus and yes, yes, yes. So you see these, and it was backed by 1353 01:20:15,540 --> 01:20:22,460 the Brookings Institute. So you see these, large majority white, 1354 01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:29,840 uh, groups funding how black people should think. And I'm 1355 01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:33,560 not, this is where I what gets me. This is not for your 1356 01:20:33,560 --> 01:20:39,680 everyday working class black person, no, this is to get us in 1357 01:20:39,680 --> 01:20:42,520 line to vote the way they wants to vote, to think the way they 1358 01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:47,800 wants to think, while the top 10% Boole, talented 10th, 1359 01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:51,220 whatever you want to call them, profit off of steering us the 1360 01:20:51,220 --> 01:20:54,100 way they want to go. And this is, this is why I do this show, 1361 01:20:54,100 --> 01:20:57,700 Adam, this is why I do the show, because it gives me a platform 1362 01:20:58,540 --> 01:21:04,080 to one break down the media. I learned a lot from you and John 1363 01:21:04,380 --> 01:21:10,200 on how to do this, to take what the media does and turn it 1364 01:21:10,200 --> 01:21:13,500 around on them. And you know, and you know, really break it 1365 01:21:13,500 --> 01:21:17,340 down. And two, to make people show show people that have power 1366 01:21:18,480 --> 01:21:21,800 if you know how they're going to come at you, yes 1367 01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:24,920 Adam Curry: and and you really blew my mind with this one, 1368 01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:27,680 because I, if there's anything I follow very closely, it's 1369 01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:31,820 chronic unhoused. I don't, I don't like saying homeless, 1370 01:21:31,820 --> 01:21:35,300 because a home, if you look in the dictionary, has nothing to 1371 01:21:35,300 --> 01:21:38,240 do with a shelter. It is literally your community, your 1372 01:21:38,240 --> 01:21:41,260 people. So you can be living under I 35 and you can be that 1373 01:21:41,260 --> 01:21:44,560 can be your home, but the unhoused, and I've been to San 1374 01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:47,080 Diego, I've been to San Jose, I've lived in San Francisco, 1375 01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:51,580 I've lived in Los Angeles. It appears to me now, with taking 1376 01:21:51,580 --> 01:21:54,160 all this information into account, that a lot of the 1377 01:21:54,160 --> 01:21:57,880 chronic homelessness we're seeing, to use that word, is it 1378 01:21:57,880 --> 01:22:01,020 could possibly be from these opportunity zones. 1379 01:22:02,460 --> 01:22:05,820 Moe Factz: They're economic refugees. And 1380 01:22:07,319 --> 01:22:11,879 Adam Curry: looking at some important dates, there's a 1381 01:22:11,939 --> 01:22:16,139 December, 31 2019 which is, I guess, is phase one of the 1382 01:22:16,139 --> 01:22:22,319 opportunity zone. And then there's 2920 2120 2620 28 and 1383 01:22:22,319 --> 01:22:31,579 wow. That's mind blowing. So in almost directly, this tax cut 1384 01:22:32,539 --> 01:22:38,179 could be fueling people have living in cars and vans and RVs, 1385 01:22:39,260 --> 01:22:41,800 Moe Factz: you know what? And although I although they're not 1386 01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:44,020 Adam Curry: white in all, they're not black and awesome, 1387 01:22:44,020 --> 01:22:46,360 the unhoused are predominantly white. 1388 01:22:46,779 --> 01:22:50,019 Moe Factz: It's this is important, and this is another 1389 01:22:50,019 --> 01:22:54,279 reason for this show we have to get past not and I know I'm not 1390 01:22:54,279 --> 01:22:57,339 living in a colorblind society. This is we've had this talk 1391 01:22:57,339 --> 01:22:59,919 before. We need a need for black people. We need a need for white 1392 01:22:59,919 --> 01:23:04,079 people. We don't need to be homogenous society. I like, you 1393 01:23:04,079 --> 01:23:06,719 know, saying pockets of different cultures, and we all 1394 01:23:06,719 --> 01:23:10,439 contributed what we bring to the table. But we have to realize we 1395 01:23:10,439 --> 01:23:15,299 have a common enemy, and the common enemy is the elite. Yeah, 1396 01:23:15,419 --> 01:23:18,899 they look at us as an inconvenience, and anytime they 1397 01:23:18,899 --> 01:23:24,259 can make $1 or uh, one uh, 1/10 of a percent, you're saying more 1398 01:23:24,259 --> 01:23:29,359 profit. It doesn't matter who it impacts, you know, uh, move is 1399 01:23:29,359 --> 01:23:34,459 how you look at it, you know, um, pack up and move, yeah. And 1400 01:23:34,459 --> 01:23:38,359 where it really hits home at is if you have say, Okay, say, in 1401 01:23:38,359 --> 01:23:41,799 my case, if my parents owned a home and, you know, and they 1402 01:23:41,799 --> 01:23:45,639 left it to me, they willed it to me, and it was $100,000 and now 1403 01:23:45,819 --> 01:23:51,879 this opportunity zone drives up to 200 $250,000 would I sell? I 1404 01:23:51,879 --> 01:23:58,299 don't know, right? But when you do, when you sell that, or you 1405 01:23:58,299 --> 01:24:00,719 have apartment building, you know, it's in this and you know, 1406 01:24:00,719 --> 01:24:04,259 you're doing section eight, and these programs, when you sell 1407 01:24:04,259 --> 01:24:08,279 it, where do those people go? That these these neighborhoods, 1408 01:24:08,279 --> 01:24:12,599 whether it's white or black, is the last stop. And me and my 1409 01:24:12,599 --> 01:24:14,999 friend, I know we might be going a little long, but I just want 1410 01:24:14,999 --> 01:24:18,899 to make this one last point. It's like Monopoly, you know, I 1411 01:24:18,899 --> 01:24:22,519 mean how the board is set up, and the first two stops on 1412 01:24:22,519 --> 01:24:26,479 monopoly are the dark purple pieces. But when you get hotels 1413 01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:31,159 on those you have nowhere to stay, right? You're poor. End up 1414 01:24:31,159 --> 01:24:32,299 in a monopoly game. 1415 01:24:35,420 --> 01:24:38,180 Adam Curry: It's a great analogy for life, isn't it? 1416 01:24:38,180 --> 01:24:41,620 Moe Factz: Right? You just pray that you don't land on anywhere 1417 01:24:41,620 --> 01:24:45,640 you can afford but there's nowhere to land except jail or 1418 01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:46,900 free parking. That's it. 1419 01:24:47,319 --> 01:24:50,259 Adam Curry: Wow, how that how that mimics life is just 1420 01:24:50,259 --> 01:24:53,859 frightening, frightening mode. Thank you so much for opening my 1421 01:24:53,859 --> 01:24:57,159 eyes to that. I got to spend the rest of the day looking at these 1422 01:24:57,519 --> 01:25:01,199 opportunity zones and where they are. This is. Blow my mind. It 1423 01:25:01,199 --> 01:25:03,419 really is.
