Well, hello everybody, welcome back to another episode of Just Listen to Yourself with Kira Davis. I am your host, Kira Davis, and this is the podcast where we take hot topics, pop button issues and we discuss the talking points on those issues, and we draw those talking points all the way out to their logical conclusion. And today I'm not really excited to do this podcast. I'm gonna be honest with you. I have been putting it off for a couple of days I've known I need to sit down and do this, and I've been putting it off because today I owe America, you the listener, and a couple of other people, Amia Kopa an apology. So if you were listening to my last podcast, I was talking about the debate, and I was speaking about the debate moderators Nora O'Donnell and what was the other one, Margaret somebody, the two newscaster babes, and I called them bitches. I referred to them as bitches through the whole podcast, and I think one of the things I said during the podcast was, look, this is how and you guys know, I was real salty about their professionalism, not so much the debate, but just how they treated their jobs. I was so salty about it, and I kept referring to them as two bees. And I said at one point, you know, I know that this isn't very kind and I'll just have to deal with this with Jesus. You know, I'll deal with Jesus later. Well, what do you think happened? Jesus dealt with me? And since I dropped that podcast, I have been getting nothing but what I would consider to be and this is indicative of the of the industry I'm in. I would consider it to be messaging from God. I have been I have been chastised and convicted, and so I do have a mea koppa to It was not okay for me to describe those women so insultingly, and I was being insulting, and I was doing it on purpose because I was super salty, and I knew it was wrong. But you know, I'm fifty nowt and I'm kind of like out of fs to give, and I'm kind of in my unbothered era, and I forgot about myself. But like I said, the Lord's been speaking to me, and I want to read this to you from Colossians. But I got this message. I was reading through Ephesians and Philippians this week, and Colossians. I'm in Thessalonians now, and I have seen some version of this in every chapter that I've read in some way or another. So I definitely feel God is speaking to me and chastising me for this. So let me read this to you, because this is why I don't think what I said about them was wrong. They were They're terrible at their jobs, and it was wrong, but it it was wrong for me to describe them as a couple of bitches. That that was mean, and it was crasts. And so let me read what Colossian says to you. To me Colassians chapter three, I'm going to start up verse one. If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you will also appear with him in glory. Put to death. Therefore, what is earthly in you sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil, desire, and covetedness, which is idolatry. On account of these, the wrath of God is coming in these You two once walked when you were living in them. But now you must put them all away. Anger, wrath, mala, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices, and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. Here there is not Greek or jew circumcise or uncircumcised, Barbarians, Scythian, slave or free. But Christ is all and in all. Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another. And if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other, as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive. And above all the excuse me. And above all these, put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And that the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body, and be thankful and wow, Yeah, that is what we are called to do as Christians. That's what I am called to do. And I have been thinking about that since I dropped that podcast. How does what does my life look like? To other people? What does my witness look like to other people? Because I am in the political sphere, I'm not what we would call, quote a Christian podcaster. They're like Alibestucky or somebody. But you guys know, I take it to church here because I am a believer and Christ is a part of every part of my life, even politics. I see the world through this lens. But I also understand that I am talking about very worldly and earthly things. I don't think God. I know God has plans for us, but I don't think God is too concerned with the government of man. With the governing of man, I really don't. Otherwise, why do we have things like slavery and Marxism, And why doesn't God just rescue people from that. He's rescuing you from sin. That's where God's concern is. Of course, He's concerned with oppression and injustice, but we know that all of that will be worked out in eternity at the end of the day of judgment. So even if it's not worked out here on earth in our time, according to our mortal eyes, it will be worked out. So God's not ignoring the earthly things. But I really don't think God is chiefly concerned with how we govern ourselves. He is chiefly concerned with your heart. He is chiefly concerned with your soul and whether or not you are a slave to sin, and so our lives have to look different. I get this a lot. I get this a lot from people because when people meet my husband and I, particularly when we're to get I think we make a pretty good team, and when people meet us. I don't know how to say this without sounding a bit arrogant, but I'll try and please hear my sincerity here, because I'm trying to impart something. When people meet Mark and I, the response is usually positive, and a lot of people will say, hush, you guys are so friendly, You're so nice. I feel so comfortable around you. It's kind of our thing, you know. We love talking to everybody. We welcome everyone into our circle. You're not too weird or nerdy or you know, strange for us. We're the people that collect the outsiders, I guess, is what I'm saying. We're those people people will tell you if they ask you about meeting me, they will say, oh, Kira is so friendly, she's the friendliest person. She's so down to earth, she's so sweet, she's so kind. And that is the Kira that a lot of people meet. But that's not Kira. I am none of those things. So when I see Paul or other of the apostles, or even Jesus himself talking about us having God living in us and how that is supposed to make us look different to the world, I really understand what that means, because I know a lot some of you who have met me may scoff at this. You may say, no, Kira, you are really you're a really nice person. I promise you that I am not. When the Bible tells you that Jesus makes you look different to other people, that's what you're seeing. Because the Kira that you got on that last podcast, that's Kira. That's me. That's who I am all the time. That's how I think. It is the first response that I want to come out of my mouth every time I hear something stupid. I want to talk poorly to people. I want to insult people. I want to be sarcastic and snippy and tell people how retarded I think they are. Most of the time. That's Kira. That's I'm judgmental. I'm judging. I'm judging you. I don't even know you, I can't see you. I'm judging you right now. You're probably doing something right now that I would judge you for those are I am all of these terrible things. When you meet nice Kira, I promise you you're meeting Jesus. And that's not fake Kira. That's not fake. That's Kira. Recognizing that I can't lead with the sinner. I've got to lead with Christ and me, and I've got to be able to do that everywhere, even on the job, even when I'm talking to or about people I don't like. And I don't like that. I don't like that I have to be nicer than people and kinder than other people. I don't like that when I want to press into an argument that Jesus tells me to step back and breathe and lead with grace, I don't like that. And I struggle, and I think you do too. If you're a faithful listener to this podcast, then you're probably on the same page with me, and you're nodding your head. I struggle. I'm just human. I struggle with how to straddle that line between a life that reflects Christ every second and a woman who is speaking reality and speaking truth. And sometimes the truth isn't always kind and it doesn't always sound kind. And there's nothing wrong by the way. I want you to know this. There's nothing wrong with being angry, there's nothing wrong with being frustrated, and there's nothing wrong with humor and sarcasm. But there is something wrong with leading with a sinful nature. When you're leading with that frustration, when you're leading with that sarcasm or that bitterness, that is wrong. Because if someone listening to me doesn't know about my life in Christ, then and they tell the difference between me and the Noora and Margoes of the world that did those podcasts, I should look different from them. I should look different, And I'm afraid I wasn't looking very I was salty, but not exhibiting saltiness. You know, there is something to that. We are called to be the salt of the earth. And I love that scripture because it says so much in such a little space the Bible. When you start really digging into the Bible, it is layers on layers on layers. It is not one thing. Everything has a layer to it. Everything means more. We a lot of people will say to be the salt of the earth is to be the spice of the earth. Right, you're adding the flavor salt is a very valuable spice. But we also think of it as being valuable right because spice was a salary. That's where we get the term salary from the spice. Salt was how many people were paid in during the time days of the Roman Empire, for example, the days when those scriptures were were written or spoken. But there's more than that kind of salt, isn't there. Salt also kills things. If you want to get rid of weeds, or if you've got a problematic area in your yard or your garden, you burn it up and you pour salt on it so nothing grows there again. So salt can be a weapon of a sort, and salt can be meaning being sassy, being salty, being the person who's sprinkling that little bit of acidic truth to a situation. Being the salt is more than just being a good Christian and being example. There's lots of ways to be assault and I understand that, but none of them work if you're not leaning with grace. So I apologize to Norah and Margo for calling you bitches. That was uncalled for when all I really meant was that you were terribly unprofessional. When all I really meant was that you are terribly unprofessional and you were terrible at your jobs, and I don't think you have earned the right to be working in the positions that you're working in. That's what I meant. But to call you a derogatory name that that's not what I meant. That was wrong, and I apologize. So yeah, I mean, if you're if you're gonna, if you're gonna directly contradict Jesus teachings and then actually have the nerve to brag about doing so on your national podcast, I guess you can expect to get body checked by the Lord at some point. Oh my goodness, I'm fifty and you'd think I would learn, y'all. But we are growing until the day of perfection, aren't we. I want to look different. I want my life to look different. I want people to look at me and say there's something different about her. And I feel that most of the time people do. But there are snapshots in my life where people could look at that and take that moment and put it next to any other non believer and you wouldn't hear a difference or see a difference. And for that, you know, I do feel badly, and so this is a learning, a time of learning for me. Well, let's move on, because I want to talk about people's not sounding and looking like they should. I want to talk about our esteemed former president Barack Obama. He is hitting the campaign trail. That's like a barely a month left in the selection, and now he's getting out there. It's not looking good for the Dems. And I don't want to give people on my side of the fence any false hope. You best believe they will try to steal this, and it's entirely possible that they will. So I don't want to give you any false hope out there. But I can tell you that they're looking at the polling, and I can tell you they're looking at polling that you don't see, because for every poll you see, Democrat or Republican operatives have five more private polls. And the private polling is the real polling because it doesn't depend on all this weird wording. They want to get the real truth from you. The public polling is for ads. The public polling is for fundraising, That's what the public polling is for. The private polling is for the politicians to know exactly how they're doing, so they will ask the weird questions, they will ask the hard questions very plainly. They need to know. So I'll tell you that the internal polling in the Democrat Party is miserable. It's miserable, and you can tell that by the way they're out there talking right now. And one way you can tell this is they've pulled Barack Obama off the beach at Martha's Vineyard and he's wandering around Pennsylvania scolding everybody for not being on the camel a train when he barely got on it himself. Just now, that's where we are. But he had a message for black men that I thought was very interesting. But you know what, we're up against, the break. So let me take this break for you right now, and when we come back, I'm going to play these remarks from you. I'm betting you've already heard by now. But I got a lot to say about this, and I think that there's more. We're talking about layers. I was talking about the layers of the word here. I think there's more going on here that meets the eye. I'm gonna tell you what it is when we come back. All right, don't go anywhere and listen to those ads because they pay me. I'm kidding. If you don't want to, that's fine. But one thing you can do to help support me is simply subscribe to this podcast. And if you're feeling very generous, head over to the FCB podcast page on iTunes and just subscribe to all those podcasts on there. It costs you nothing and it helps us out. All Right, see you in a couple of minutes. All Right, we're back, and Dad's real angry at you, guys. He's gonna churn this car right around if you don't shape up. Barack Obama's out there stumping for Camela, and he's got a message for black men. But before I play this, so you've already heard it, I'll play it and then break it down. But before I get into this, let me let me just preface this all by telling you what's going on here. I set it up a little bit before the break. They're desperate. Their internal polling is showing bad, bad, bad numbers where they need them. This should be no surprise to people like you and I who pay attention to what people on the street are saying. Right, we don't live in Martha's vineyard, we don't live in the bubbles, so we know what it's like out here in these streets, and it's rough. It's no surprise to us, but it is a surprise to the Democrats because one of the reasons I left the Democrat Party is because they take all their voters for granted. I mean, Republicans aren't that much better, but as a black voter, yeah, I they just they trot us out every four years like their grandmother's corpse. Ission. She lovely everybody, she's so excited for this selection and she's definitely voting for you guys, and then they wheel us back into the senior home and they don't give a crap about us for the rest of the time. And that is just empirical, empirically true. If you're a Democrat vo if you are a black Democrat voter, and you voted for a Barack Obama in two thousand and eight, thinking that we're gonna have just like you know, my father did, just like a lot of black people did, just like a lot of conservatives did. And you thought, we're going to have our first black president. And finally, the most powerful man in the world is a black man, and he's part. He hears our struggle, he hears us because he's one of us. I mean, I got stuff to say about that too, but whatever, that's how black people saw Obama. He's one of us. Surely, something's gonna get better. Maybe not everything. He's just one man. He can't change everything, but something's going to get better. Do you remember after Obama won and they were going out there interviewing people, and there was folks in the street of Detroit, go, Obama's gonna pay my rent, Obema's gonna pay my car not. Do you remember that that's what people were voting for. They really genuinely believed him when he said I'm bringing you hope and change, and they hoped that some of that change would be coins right. They really believed it. Well, you look at what's happening Forget about today in twenty twenty four. Let's go to twenty twenty, twenty twenty two, twenty twenty four, the summer obill Oba LM, a crime out of control, black people being kicked out of their own schools and community centers to house migrants. Is anything the economy is anything better for the black man or woman in twenty twenty four than it was in say twenty ten or twenty twelve when Obama was in the heat of his presidency. No, they've made nothing better for the black American. And you and I know, because you're a listener to the show. So you know, I say this all the time. Government can't make anything better for the black American. Get out of our way. That's what they need to do. That's why I'm not looking at Republicans asking you to make things better for me. Just get out of my way, please, and make sure all of these other idiots get out of my way. There go again. Sorry Jesus, but that's all I want and nothing is better. So now three weeks out of this historic election, and we've got a quote unquote black woman, don't get me started, a black y'all are gonna be real sorry that you wasted the first black woman on Kamela. Y'all are gonna be super sorry about that. And we get to finally get a real black woman like a Kandy Rice running for president. One day, you guys are gonna be like, oh, we wasted the first one on this lady who doesn't even believe she's black. Three weeks before this election, now the big black guns in Obama come out and start and start campaigning for her. It's bad. It's bad out there. They've been wrestling with the celebrities, trying to get them out of their slumber. Trying to get the celebrities out. Julia Roberts was out there today. I never see her out there campaign. They got George Clooney out there. Who else? Just made a terrible I'm gonna play this awful, awful campaign ad at the end of the podcast too, that came out today. It was just if I thought it was parody. I thought it was from the Babylon b and it's a real camera ad. They are struggling with their traditional demographics and that's what's scaring them. They don't care if they lose people like me, Ray, I'm never gonna vote Democrat again, but they're losing their traditional demographics. Okay, So now you've got there's this air of desperation that's going on out there. They I have to say this. I got a I got hats off to my friend Rob Smith. You can find Rob Smith on Twitter at rob Smith Online. He said he did a little video on Twitter yesterday and I thought it was so good. He said, you guys have to understand what's happening here, the reason why everyone is so shocked, and he meant everyone on the left is so shocked at how stupid Camela sounds. All the time is because she was never supposed to make it this far because Trump's supposed to be dead. Now, Trump was supposed to be dead, and either that was what was going to take over the campaign conversation, so she was never going to have to have a real campaign conversation, or we were going to get Nicki Haley right because she had the most the second most votes delegate votes, or we were going to get Nicky and Nicki Haley put up in there a neo KHN was going to completely changed the situation, and then it would just be everyone talking to Nicki Haley for three months. Trump was supposed to be dead. We were never supposed to know that. This is how vapid camera was. That's where we're at. So if everything looks like it's falling apart, it's because what they had planned, what they had hoped, has not worked out thus far. But be careful because their legs are in a trap. There's nothing more dangerous than a trapped animal. So they're panicking because they haven't had time to legalize all the migrants they brought in. Right, they can do some cheating with those bodies, but they can't do the things that they've been planning to do yet. If we don't take action on the people that are already here, they will do it by next election. Today here in California, Santa Anna, the town of Santa Anna has a measure on the ballot that if it passes, we'll make it legal for illegals to vote in their city elections. So this is happening, everybody, This is happening. But they are losing your traditional base. One of the traditional bases that they have had to count on is the black vote. It's still heavily solidly in the Democrat category, don't be fooled. But when you're talking about a close election like twenty sixteen, which turned out not to be as close as we thought, but those margins count. And listen, if twelve to twenty five percent of your most dependable base is going to peel off and vote for the other guy or not vote at all, yeah, that's big trouble. Black men are peeling off from Camela for lots of reasons, and they're panicked about it. They're panicked about it, and they don't know what to do because usually they've never had to court the black vote vote. Do you understand what's happening here. They've never had to court us. They've only ever had to threaten us. That's all they've ever had to do. Come out every four years, they come to our churches, they come to our schools, and they go if you don't vote for us, y'all are going to be back in chains. If you don't vote for us, the right is going to roll back civil rights one hundred and fifty years. They threaten us every four years, and it works. They never have to offer us anything. They never have to hear us. They never have to hear what we need and then implement those changes in our communities. No need to. We're there every four years for you, except this year because they have overplayed their hand. They have pushed so hard, so fast, the Americans have whiplash. We're happy to boil in that water. But when they decided to just dump a whole boatload of boiling water on us, it was too much, too fast. It's a mistake. They have made a mistake. We are fools to not take advantage of this. So now they're out there, and then now they've got to court the vote. Now they've got to court black people. How do you court black people? Me and Darvo here on this show and on his show. We have all kinds of complaints and criticism for Republicans who do not court the black vote. We talk about it all the time. We don't like that they don't do it. We think they need to make more of an effort. But let's not be stupid. Democrats don't court the black vote. They don't have to. You think Republicans don't know how to court black people, Democrats really don't. They really don't. It's like a man who it's like an eighty year old billionaire who married a twenty year old supermanel lost all his money and now he has to figure out how to actually make his wife actually love him. All right, that's the context that you're hearing Barack Obama speak to a room full of black men, a room full of black men, and he has this to say three weeks before the election, going out there trying to drum up excitement for Camela. Is he motivating them? Is he telling them how powerful they are and how influential they are and how needed they are in the community. Will you judge for yourself Again, I think most of you have probably heard this by now, But if you haven't. The audio is a little rough to hear, but I think you'll be able to understand. Here we go, Rock Hussein Obama. I'm going to go out ahead and just say some speak some truths that you don't mind, because my understanding, based on reports I'm getting from campaigns and communities, is that we have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in a quarters of our neighborhoods and. Communities as we saw when I was wrong. And now I also want to say that that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers. So if you don't mind, just for a second, I'm gonna speak to y'all directly and say that when you have a choice that is this clean. Yeah, When on the one hand, you have somebody who grew up like it knows you went to college, would you understands the struggles and pain and joy that comes from those experiences, who's had to work harder and do more and overcome and achieves the second highest office in the land. And as putting forward concrete proposals to directly address the things that are final in our neighborhoods and our communities, from housing to making sure that our mothers and our fathers and our grandparents can afford medicine and making sure that we are dealing with prices that are too high and rents that are too high and are committed to is committed to making sure that we maintained the Affordable Care Act, so everybody's got healthy and cares about things education and entrepreneurship in our neighborhoods. And that's all one side. And on the other side, you have someone. Who has consistently shown disregard not just former communities, but for. You as a person. And you're thinking about sitting out, but you know because of Cooper might be. And you're coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses. I've got a problem with that because because part of it makes me think I'm speaking to men directly. Part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren't feeling the eye idea of having a woman as president, and you're coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for them. And I think anybody you are talking to in a barber shop, anybody you are talking to. In your house, in your family. At a at church, who is coming with that kind of attitude, I think you have to ask them, well, how can that be because the women in our lives have been getting our backs this entire time. They've been raising us and working and having our. Backs, and. When we get in trouble. And the system's not working for us, they're the ones who are out there marching and protesting. So now you're thinking about sitting out or even supporting somebody who has a history of petegrating you because you think that's a side of strength, because that's what being a man is, putting women down. That's not exciting. That was a lot that was hard to listen to. It was hard to listen to. Rarely, Rarely have I heard a politician be so utterly condescending. Rarely, and I lived through the Hillary election, you know, never this is It's worse when you're watching the video too, because his face is so indignant. But everything is wrong with this, every everything is wrong with this everything from the start, he's standing in a campaign office. He's talking to a room full of black people, but he's standing in a Democrat campaign office. Who is he talking to? All of the men in this room are clearly voting for Camela? Who is he talking to? This is? This is what I'm saying. I said this on Twitter earlier, and I know a lot of people have been pushing back on this because they think that he's being condescending to black men, and he is. But I don't think he's really talking to black men. I really don't. He is scolding black men and he but I don't think it's ultimately it's for black men. I think he's talking to black women. I think he is because who he's not talking. He's not standing in a in a in a room full of men who are there to for a town hall or to ask questions or to you know, with Trump shirts on. He's talking to a room full of friendlies. He's literally at a campaign offense. So who is he talking to. He's not talking to the black men who are gonna go out and vote for Trump and against women. I guess that's how he framed it. I think what he's trying to do is gin up the female vote. Remember when he says these women have had our backs. That is a refrain we heard from twenty twenty forward. Maybe not all of you have been hearing it because you don't pay attention to for obvious reasons. Maybe a lot of you aren't really absorbed in the black media space. But here on this network, we're part of the black media space, and so we pay attention to what's going on in that world. And I will tell you that it's been a common refrain among black women since twenty twenty. We saved America. I swear to you. We saved America. We got out there, we pushed that tight race over the top for Joe Biden. And look, you know now we're gonna have to do it again. Now we're gonna have to bail all black men out again, just like we always do. Just like, just like Barack just told us, we raise you. We're the ones out there protesting for you. We give you life, we do everything for you. And what do you do for us? Nothing? You vote against ducks. That's the attitude. See, I think he's trying to them up. They've lost the black men because that wasn't a speech that was gonna bring any black man back. Are you a black man listening to this right now? If you heard that, would you go? Ah? He's right, I do hate women. He's he's talking about black men who love their moms, who love their sisters, and love their wives and girlfriends who love their daughters. That's who he's talking to. They don't hate women. But it's just this automatic assumption, you know why, because Obama doesn't know black men. He doesn't hang around with black men. He hangs out with Bruce Ringsteen. And if he is hanging out with black folks, it's just the other rich people in Martha's vineyard. They barely count these days because they don't know where the rest of us are at. They're not living these lives, and given what's going on with Diddy right now, it's clear they are living a completely different type of life than most black people in America. He doesn't know what we're dealing without here, so he's scolding men that he doesn't know. And it's clear by the way he talks, right, because I talk to black men all the time. I talk to a black man every day. I talk I talk to multiple black men every day. I mean, I'm talking to Darvio in and out every day. But I also happen to be married to one, and I have a black son, and I'm in a black family. I'm a black person. Obviously. I talk to black men every day, and I hear what they're saying about this election and about what's going on in the economy, and what going on at the border, and what's going on in their bank accounts. I hear them, and some of them still want to vote for Kamala. They still want to vote for Democrats. But they're hesitant, and they're confused, and they're angry, and there are a lot of things. You know why, because they're human beings and they have nuanced feelings. But see, this is how Democrats look at black people. And that's why I don't rock with them anymore. We're just we're avatars. We're not real people to them, even to the black people with the black faces, like Barack Obama, who's supposed to represent us, he doesn't know whats That's how he can stand up there black men and scold you and talk to you like you're five freaking years old. And any man in his right mind is going to run far away from an adult who talks to him like he's five years old. So the response to that speech is not going to be yeah, you're right, I do hate my mom and I am threatened by Camela La. That's not gonna be it. As a matter of fact, knowing black men the way I do, it's probably gonna be the opposite. Now. I think any black man that was on the fence is probably just gonna tip right over now thanks to that little speech. And he may not go to the booth and vote for Trump, but I bet you he will. But at the very least he's just not going to go to the booth. Maybe that's what Barack Obama is hoping that they'll at least feel so chastised that they just won't show up at all, because it will be a problem for the Democrat count if black men do show up in really any amount at the polls for Trump. Yeah, I'm sorry, I am laughing. I literally just got a text from Darby o as I'm as I am doing this, and he was like, I have a personal request, Kiara, let me read it to you. It's literally he doesn't know I'm recording this. Can you please cook Obama for that BS on your next episode. Let me text them back right now, dude, I'm recording right now and you have just made it into the podcast. Oh my gosh. Yeah, he was really upset again. Another black man I talked to on the Daily he was very upset. He was like, look, if I wasn't already planning on voting for Trump, this sure as hack would have pushed me over the edge. I see that black men are not stupid, and this is the thing that really fires me up as a black woman. As a black woman, I was like, Democrats say that all the time, like it means something. Let it mean something now, as a wife of a black man and someone who is dedicated herself to raising a good Black American family, let me tell you. That it is. It is one of the tragedies of the American political system that we have let American pop culture turn the black man into a thoughtless, buggish avatar for all of our hopes, wishes, dreams, and complaints, when in reality, black men are thoughtful and caring and they love their families. Now a lot of them are trapped in poverty, and poverty makes you different. That's socioeconomic, that's not racial. But the way I hear democrats, the way you the way you democrats talk about particularly black producers, like people who are not producers like DARVYO, but people who are producers productive in society, the way you talk about us is shameful. It's shameful. And evil, and I don't know why any of us keep voting for you. I mean, I do know why. I talk about it on the show all the time, but it disgusts me. You hate us, They hate us black people. Barack Obama does not like you. He doesn't like you, doesn't live He never lived with you. He's never lived with you, He's never lived with Kamel has never lived with us. Let me get to this point, you know what, Let me take another break. I'm gonna take another break. I'm gonna take another breath. Calm down, right, remember that Jesus first, Jesus facing, and I'll be back. Don't go anywhere. FCB Faith is your rhythm and preystation. I listen, my mom listens, pretty much the whole family. You know me, you know me, you know me. Dot and not joke contro. Listen to FCB Faith on iHeartRadio Odyssey at FCB faith dot com, or tell your smart speaker to play EPCB Faith on iHeartRadio. Okay, we're back. Let me continue with my rant. Take it a few breaths of calmed down, a few not Obama, UH and Kimmel are doing the same thing out there. And this is what Democrat politicians do. A lot you'll see this code switching. I wrote an article on stuff Stack about it. Actually it's done pretty well. A lot of people are criticizing Kamela for you know, she'll adopt that black scent or that Southern accent depending on the crowd she's talking to. Hillary would do it, you know, hot sauce and her purse kind of thing. It happens, and I actually wrote an article about it, and I actually took a different approach. I don't think when this stuff happens, especially to politicians, I don't think it's as pandering as we like to think it is. A lot of the times it's empty vessels. These people are empty vessels. They're a lot like actors. Is spicy. A lot of actors go into politics, hello, myself included. Typically we tend to be empty vessels because all we do is say other people's words. So they don't have developed personalities, and they learn how to mirror. That's an important part of acting, and so you have to mirror the audience you're in front of, and so you get good at that. If you don't have a solid personality to draw on, and you're not very confident in who you are, you end up mirroring the people in front of you. So that's what I see Kamla doing and Obama does that a lot too here though I don't think that's what he's doing. But you did notice he dropped in there with the brothers, brothers and the sisters, and she went to school with you. You think rock talks like that and Martha's vineyard that is fake. He's scolding you. He's pointing his finger at you. Oh you boys, You boys aren't acting right. If you don't act right, and then turn this car right around. You boys are just scared of women, and these women have been raising you these but this is kind of sad beginning to end. And for him to stand there and tell you black men, oh you you hate panthery you first saw with the brothers and the sisters in the Witch You she went to school with you. She went to an HBCU big deal. How absolutely insulting. That means she earns their vote. My message to you, mister Obama, is this, instead of talking to black men, who, by the way, are out there working for their money while you sit on your one hundred million dollar mansion in your gated community with your rich friends, and Martha's benyard, a place where most of us will never have the privilege of setting a foot while you lecture us from your high high horse. There on the coast. Black men are out here working twelve hours a day, eighty hours a week, sometimes working to support their families, working to get a bus. This Biden inflation nonsense. That's going out busting their asses all day long for their own communities, coming up off their own money, serving their own communities. Where are you? Where are you? You're nowhere? It's so insulting. He's done nothing. Are they at the soup kitchens? Are they in line helping people recover from these hurricanes? Are they out there marching in the streets? Are they? How dare How can you how he look at me? I'm getting so frustrated, I'm getting so flustered. Listen to me. How can he dared to look a good black man who is supporting his family, a man like my husband. How can he look at that man in the eye and accuse that man of degraded thinking because he might want to cast his vote another way? How can you look at that man and tell him he's betraying his community, and you don't even know how hungry he is. And you've never even stopped to ask why why are you voting this way? Why are you considered voting this way? Why you've just made these blanket assumptions. Well, any man that's not voting for Kamala Harris is a man who hates black women and hates himself instead of exhibiting any curiosity. This is why you've lost them. You haven't asked them why what can we do to bring you back? Because they want to be there. Black men want to be in the dumb party. They don't want to be Republicans. Some of them do, but most of them don't. They want to be in your party. I mean, it's just so easy. It would be so easy. It should be so easy. Do you know why it's not easy? Because he has absolute contempt for black people. And that's why I didn't vote for the Obamas, and that's why I'll never vote Democrat again. These people despise black people. Forget about you, the average American calling it now. I'm telling you now, these people hate you. That's why I never like Candace Candace Owens. I don't think she likes black people that when it comes down to it, I don't think she likes black people. I happen to love black people. I happen to love people. I happen to love people. Try to love people the way Jesus loves people. But I happen to love people. But I happen to love black people because that's my tribe, that's my community. You might love Polish people because you're Polish. You know. You might love Minnesotans because you're from Minnesota. I love black people. So when I speak about the problems in our community, that's where it's from. And that's how you should be able to tell how I'm speaking. I want solusions Barack doesn't love black people, because if he loves black people, he would ask black people how they're really feeling and thinking and what they're struggling with and why are you doing this thing that I don't understand? And how can I help you? Come back over here, mister activist, President himself hasn't been anywhere for us. Take a moment and just imagine, folks, Democrats, if I have any liberal listeners left, listen to me. I want to ask you this. I want you to think about this. This man and his wife sat in the most powerful position for not four years, but eight years. That's the longest you can serve in this country at that level. He had eight years, and four of those years were with a supermajority in Congress, not technically a super majority, but Democrat a majority. He had carte blanche to do basically whatever he wanted. He had the pulpit. This is a man who spent eight years plus his campaign seasons talking about how little black people have and how disrespective we are, and how this is the time for hope and this is the time for change. And if you believe in him and you vote for him, he's got your back. He's one of us. He gets it. Fast forward to twenty twenty four, And how has your life changed even when he left office? What was better for you when he left office? What was better for you? And what's better for you now? So I want you to think about this, this him and his wife and now the way you see him, right, he's just this regular Joe and then he climbs the ladder and suddenly he's the most powerful person in the world. And what a black success story? All right, If you are a black success story, and you literally had the most powerful position in the world. When that job is offer, what do you do for the black community? Excuse me, when that job is over? What do you do for the black community? What do you do after you retire? There's lots of people in the entertainment industry, lots of Black men in the entertainment industry who do good work on their own after the heyday of their celebrity is over. Okay, all that said, the Obamas are the most powerful black people in the world. Have you ever seen them in your neighborhood? What are they doing? Do they have school set up? They have one hundred million dollar home in Martha's Vineyard? Do they have a school set up in your neighborhood? Obama could solve the problems of the South Side of Chicago with his bank account. Do you see what I mean? They get us all riled up, They threaten us, they scare us, They tell us if we don't vote for them, we're not really black. And then as soon as they get our vote and our money, they leave. They leave us, and they never come back. They don't show up. The Obamas are the most powerful black people in the world. They could solve your problems, or what you think your problems are Democrats tomorrow, Why don't they do it? They don't care. They don't care what happens to you. They really don't. They don't. And you might say, well, I don't think the other side cares about me Either're okay, Fine, that's progress at least you know. Okay, great, find the other side doesn't care about you either. Now what. Go from there? I think that's a great place to start. By the way, none of these people care about you. They don't know you. That's why you shouldn't be throwing your family overboard for a vote. That's why you shouldn't be cutting people off because they voted for Trump. But you don't know. They don't know you. They wouldn't recognize you. If you walk down the street and you're handing your entire life and all the people you love over to these people and their ideologies, shame on you, Shame on Obama. This was pathetic. But I'll tell you what he's really doing here. He's not talking to the black men. He's talking to the black women. The black men are gone, and I think he knows this. I think the I think a small number of them will vote. I mean, and I mean percentage wise in the community. I mean it might show up differently at the vote. It'll look like a larger percentage of the black vote. Small number of them will vote for Kamela, most will stay home. But the most of the people who do get to the pulls I think will cast a vote that Obama's not gonna like. And I think he I think what he's doing is speaking to the women. He's yes queening them. That's what he's doing. All ladies, See, y'all had to clean up our mess last time. Looks like you're gonna have to do it again. Get out there, ladies. I'm not gonna make anything better for you. I'm not gonna make it easier for you. Your life is still going to be as expensive as ever. But this is the only job that we want you to have. Just keep electing us. I want to play real quick for you. This response to Obama from Nina Turner, who is a She is a progressive activist, she is a social She calls herself a Democrat socialist. She was a Bernie Gal. I guess you would say a Bernie Bernie Gal type. So she's done a lot of work in communities for the black community, black activists. She's definitely progressive. She's far left. I disagree with everything she says. But one thing I love about Nina Turner is she did work for the Obama administration. She knows the Obamas, and she has fought hard for them. What she it always tells it like it is, and she genuinely, genuinely believes in fighting for black people. I think she's wrong about all our suppositions and all the way these things are supposed to be fixed. We totally fundamentally disagree with on everything, but I love Nina because she everything she says is from a place of I want things to be better for black people. I wish she could understand how that could happen. But she's not playing games. She doesn't appreciate people who do play games. And you can deal with the honest brokers. Just be honest with me about what you believe. And she's always honest about what she believes. And for that, I've always appreciated the discourse with Nina, even when I'm busting at her for being silly. She made a great point on CNN. She went on there and spoke about these remarks, and I think she says a very well listen. To this appealed to the needs of the voters. And so when I was a delegate for President Obama in both of his elections in Ohio. Right now, the Vice President is down eleven points in Ohio, even though I fully expect President Trump to take Ohio as he did twice, but to be down eleven points compared to President Biden, that is a problem. But this other issue I want to bring up is a problem too. Why are black men being lectured too? Why are black men being belittled in ways that no other voting group. Now a lot of love for former President Obama, but for him to single out black men is wrong. And some of the black men that I have talked to have their reasons why they want to vote a different way, and even if some of us may not like that, we. Have to respect it. So unless President Barack Obama is going to go out and lecture every other group of men from other identity groups, my message for Democrats is, don't bring it here too black men, who by and large don't vote much differently from black women. That's right that, thank you, Nina. Don't bring that mess here. Why are you talking? I'm telling you, by the way, need of the answer is they don't like black men. Are you guys getting it yet? Do you? Have you, guys seen that every progressive democrat or left wing movement that is supposed to strengthen the black community has only weakened black men. Have you ever noticed that the LGBT movement, what's that done to black men? Strong independent? The feminist movement, what's that done to black men? The black family, the black father, the war on drugs, the war on poverty, everything for the rap industry, where we've made men into men and women into caricatures. And you take these people seriously about their political opinions. Put the patterns together, people, put the patterns together. You should be This is audio podcast. You can't see the video of the feminists, the white feminists listening to Nina talk about that. When she says you have to respect these black men. The look of contempt on that white lady's face. You knew what she wanted to say was no, I don't, but she can't because intersectionalism. Yes you do, and that's what Nina is saying. Just because this person doesn't vote like us. And we don't like that doesn't mean you have the right to disrespect these men, And it would make sense to go get these men since they're supposed to be your voters, instead of scolding them for instead of asking them. This is happening all over. The left cannot handle the fact that they don't own America anymore. They overplayed their hand in COVID. They did it, They overplayed it that this might be this might be the thing that saves us. Guys. I don't want to get too positive right now, because these days I don't feel positive about much and I don't want to give anyone false hope. But if there's any silver lining that came out of COVID, it's that they It's that the left wind lunatics overplayed their hand. They thought they were there, and they weren't there yet. America was not there yet, and they pushed too hard and suddenly we started noticing. And now they don't know what to do because they've never had to work for anything. They've never had a work for our votes. Now what so instead of being curious, instead of going black men, what is going on in your lives that is making you make this turn? And how can we do better for you? They're lecturing you all, they're lecturing my husband, they're lecturing my son. Barack Obama, a black man, the most powerful black man in the world, is trying to tell these black men out here in these streets how poor and stupid they are. Go back to your mansion. You sell out, You absolute sell out. You have done nothing for Black America except make matters worse. You're the reason black You're the reason we have Trump. You're the reason Barack Obama. So we can all thank you for that. And I do think you because I happen to like Trump, but a lot of black people tend to believe the headlines about Trump. And so you know, if you want to blame someone for Trump, black people, blame the black man who's standing up there blaming you. He did it. And when he leaves that campaign office, all those people are going to go back to figure trying to figure out how they're going to pay their rent and pay their credit card bill this month at the same time, and Barak is gonna go back to his huge, eighty five room mansion and he's never gonna think about you again. He's not going back to the community He's not going back to the South Side to see if those people need anything. Hey, don't take this man seriously. He hates us. That's that much is clear. I was happy to let him fade into history as our first whatever and be done with it. But they had to dig him up for this b This is a sign of desperation. See. I think you'll notice that Obama is less than enthusiastic. That's what won for him in two thousand and eight, That's what won for him in twenty twelve. Hope change that enthusiasm. Wherever he goes, people fall all over him. They love him, right, he's a person now. I don't find him that engaging, to be honest, but that's just me. Most people say he is. Most people think he's a great speaker. Most people love his personality. What you heard in that room was anything but mister personality, wasn't it. There's zero enthusiasm for Camela, even from our own party. So how are you gonna come out and scold black men for not getting excited about her? Just skip back on your surfboard, Obama, leave this work to the grown ups. Thank you for your service, sir. It's over. Tell me what you think of this. I'm quite perturbed, but I'm also like there's a part of me that is quite tickled by it. And I don't want to because I don't want to get too cocky ihead of November fifth, because I do believe they're going to try and steal this. Definitely believe that, Definitely believe it. And uh, I want to say this, Uh there, everything is coded right, They're trying to bring out the base. So to add to that, before I end and toss it to you, I want to read this post Tim Walls made. This is a post he just put out right when I started this podcast. All Donald Trump and JD Vance know about manufacturing is how to manufacture bullshit. That's from a vice presidential candidate. Now, I just sat here and gave you my big mea call bub but not you know, I shouldn't have called those ladies bees. I should have been proper and so you know, I don't mean to sound like a hypocrite, but I did do my repentance. I just did my repentance tour. Everybody, that's good enough. No, But what I'm saying is I don't really care about the language here. I'm salty as we've established, I don't care about the language. I do think that it's a big crass for a candidate to use that kind of language. But these are different times, and let's just look at Donald Trump, you know, fair enough. But what I noticed about this tweet was the cussing. And I wasn't offended by it, and I wasn't alarmed by it, but I felt like it was a dog whistle. They're all speaking in coded messages now because they need to get their base out. This is a message for millennials, because this is how millennials talk, right, Millennials, We're tired of the diplomacy. Millennials are the They're the crew that gave us the bad mom era, right, they gave us the wine mom era. They gave us the era where your ipa beer company is named brood and bs. You know, like they're crass, they're crude. They're rebelling against the diplomacy and the fake niceness of society. So this is a coded message. Is a message for millennials. And just like I think that message from Obama for black men was coded for black women, we need you to get out there and if you can drag a couple of these brothers along with you. Right, they're sinking and they're sinking fast, and they're just not used to it. They don't know what to do, and even the media can't save them. J L. T Y at ProtonMail dot com.

Let me say this though, I'll end with this, so I think this is a good week. We started with the word, let's end with the word. This year, my family sat down and we picked a verse. We decided to pick a mission statement, if you will, for our family from the scriptures. So my husband picked out a dozen or so, and then we as a family went over them, and we chose as a family, which one spoke to us, and unanimously and independently of each other, we all, my two children and me and my husband all chose two Timothy Chapter one, verse seven. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. So when you begin to feel fearful, and when you begin to feel nervous, and I'm having those moments every day now we lead up to the fifth, remember that God has not given you a spirit of fear, but God has given you power and love and sound mind. And you are not to be confused or petty or angry. This is lesson and I've learned right. You're not to be those things, like those people. You're supposed to look different, So do not walk in fear. Even though we live in fearful times, you can walk in the confidence because you have the power of the creator of the universe on your side. And if he is for us, who can be against us? Who can be? Who can be? Catch you next time. Our prayers all. That we won't to say, and then we won't to say, oh we god it does. No one can take that oway. Gonna be okay. Our prayers all that we won't with say, then we won't to say, oh we got it does. No one can take that oway. You don't say this, don't be okay.
