We know what we heard."

[laughs] Well, I mean, that's to be expected.

I think a lot of people who are completely ignorant to the history of Los Angeles, who really only wanna hear what they wanna hear, who only get their information from Instagram or X or whatever, uh, need to sit down, take a deep breath, and listen to those of us who were there, who lived it, who witnessed it, and can't possibly understand how a woman running for mayor of the second-largest city in America would even use the two words Daryl Gates.

He's an anathema of anything and everything, uh, Mayor Bass stands for, and it was a major error made on Nithya Raman's, uh, uh, point.

And it proves that she doesn't have a staff old enough, uh, sophisticated enough, and maybe African American enough to inform her of the actual history of the experience under Daryl Gates.

So certainly we know the first marching order, get out there and vote, but what else do people on the ground in the community do in a situation like this to make their voices be heard and to make sure that someone like this, um, you know, gets the, the right light they deserve in terms of being called out for, uh, disgraceful comments like this?

Well, I mean, voting is the ultimate tool, correct, but I think we need to stop being afraid.

I know that in, in some parts of Los Angeles, people are afraid to challenge Nithya Raman on her misstatements and her missteps and, and her lack of representation.
