>> THE UNITED STATES HAS A MORAL
AND LEGAL OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE
REPARATIONS.
>> THE CITY OWE US, EVERY BLACK
PEOPLE IN TAMPA $3 MILLION.
ALL THE HOMELESSNESS AND POLICE
VIOLENCE.
WE DON’T CARE ABOUT THAT.
WE CARE ABOUT OUR REPARATIONS
AND WE HAVE TO PUT WHITE PEOPLE
ON NOTICE.
LAWRENCE: THE SQUAD SAYS THE
U.S. HAS A MORAL AND LEGAL
OBLIGATION TO PAY REPARATIONS TO
THE TUNE OF $4 TRILLION.
HOW WILL WE PAY FOR IT ALL.
ACCORDING TO CORI BUSH, THE
SOLUTION IS TO SLASH DEFENSE
SPENDING AND TOP HELPING OUR
ALLIES.
JEREMY HUNT, THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR JOINING ME.
I JUST WANT TO NOW WHERE THE
MONEY IS" TO COME FROM.
>> ACCORDING TO AT SQUAD, THEY
ARE PLANNING ON TAKING MONEY
FROM THE MILITARY BUDGET TO FUND
THEIR PLAN.
BUT I GUESS THEY THINK THAT
SOMEHOW THE MILITARY BUDGET IS A
PIGGY BANK WHERE THEY CAN TAKE
MONEY AND REALLOCATE IT TO
WHATEVER PET PROGRESSIVE PRONG
THEY HAVE GOING ON.
BUT OUR NATIONAL SECURITY
DOESN’T WORK THAT WAY.
WE’LL BE IN A PLACE WHERE WE’LL
BE BEHOLDEN AND AT THE MERCY OF
OUR ENEMIES.
CHINA’S MILITARY BUDGET OUTPACES
OUR OWN.
>> WE PUT OUR DEFENSE IN
JEOPARDY.
AND WHAT ABOUT HELPING BLACK
PEOPLE.
TALKING ABOUT EDUCATION, TALKING
ABOUT BLACK BUSINESSES.
THEY LITERALLY TRY TO DESTROY
BLACK WALL STREET WHICH IS
ATLANTA.
I DON’T UNDERSTAND THE THINKING
OF HOW THIS WILL IMPROVE BLACK
LIVES.
IF IT WAS A LEGITIMATE
CONVERSATION, I WOULD BE ALL FOR
IT.
LET’S TALK ABOUT IT.
>> THESE ARE POLITICAL
ENTERTAINERS WHO MASQUERADE AS
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
THEY KNOW REPARATION IS IS NOT
GOING TO GO ANYWHERE.
BUT THEY ARE LIKE SNAKE OIL
SALESMEN GOING AROUND TO POOR
BLACK INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS LYING
TO PEOPLE TELLING THEM, WE ARE
GOING TO GET YOU A REPARATIONS
PLAN.
WHERE THEY COULD SAY HOW CAN WE
HELP YOU GET A JOB OR EDUCATION
FOR YOUR KIDS OR SAFER STREETS
SO YOUR KIDS AREN’T SHOT AS THEY
TRY TO GET TO CLASS.
THE SQUAD ISN’T INTERESTED IN
SOLVING THOSE DEEPER PROBLEMS.
THEY ARE HERE TO SCORE POLITICAL
POINTS FOR SOMETHING THAT’S NOT
GOING ANYWHERE.
LAWRENCE: THEY KNOW THERE IS NO
APPETITE FOR IT AND THERE IS NO MONEY FOR IT.
MONEY FOR IT.
>> WE HAVE CHAR CHARLATANS ESPOU
THESE IDEAS.
IF YOU START SHARING THIS IDEA,
JUST TAKE MONEY FROM THE
MILITARY BUCKET ANY TIME YOU
HAVE A FANCIFUL IDEA, THAT WILL
LEAVE US IN A DANGEROUS PLACE.
WE HAVE VETERANS STANDING UP
TALKING ABOUT NATIONAL SECURITY
ISSUES BECAUSE WE HAVE
POLITICIANS WHO PLAY GAMES WITH
THE MILITARY BUDGET AND SERIOUS
