You know,
18:05
I'm a California girl, I'm a Compton girl all day, right? But yeah, like when they go low, we squabble up and be prepared to fight back.
18:11
Like we cannot play safe and play nice the way we have before and, you know, be civil, but be aggressive in this fight right now.
18:21
And as you can see, it has made this administration extremely upset that California fought back, but the voters did that.
18:27
And I think that by seeing what the voters did in California, seeing what voters did in Virginia as well, right, even though the game changed a little bit,
18:34
It is showing that voters are not okay with what this administration is doing, which is likely why they're pulling a lot of the games that they're playing now
18:40
in other areas.
18:42
So I think take a lesson from California, right? Like, don't be scared to push back.

Uh, if you don't look white, then you should not be cool with ICE 'cause they may not be cool with you, right? At the end of the day, the decision specifically said there's what, 10% of the population in Los Angeles is allegedly illegal immigrants from Mexico and Central America.
8:44
What they said was, is use your common sense.
8:47
If I look at you and you look Latino, if I look at you and you're at Home Depot, right, and you're Latino.
8:54
I look at you, you at Home Depot and Latino and you got paint on your shoes.
8:58
I look at you, you're, look Latino, you're at Home Depot, you got paint on your shoes and your English is a little bit shaky, come on and get in the back of this paddy wagon real quick.
9:07
Let me holler at you, right? Like, that's essentially what they're saying, and it has everything to do with you because even if it's not you today, it's gonna be you tomorrow, right? It was us as Black people, as was mentioned previously, right? When you think about, uh, stop and fr- Terry stops came from an officer stopping a Black man because allegedly he looked, he looked suspicious, right? And then they came up with this whole idea of w- it's not really race, it's just you kinda look a little funny 'cause of where you're at, right? So it went from us as Black people and they was like, "Okay, it's cool, it's Black people," and now it's a whole nother population of people.
