I see three in the room.

No, those three, please come to public speaking mic.

You have three minutes to address the body, and I will keep time for you.

George Jack or George Blakemore is next.

George Blakemore is first, followed by Jessica Linzoe.

Thank you.

So many of you.

You do everything in one day.

I guess you get to get and say, let's get it over in one day.

One right behind the other.

I asked the young man which one is this.

He said technology.

Technology.

The caliber technology.

So evidently, something is wrong with this technology.

All this time and mess up all these taxes technology.

Now I just couldn't believe it.

One right behind the other one.

I guess you all say we're gonna get them all uh done today.

Stealers done.

I'm always trying to correct my my verbs.

My mother can speak very good English.

I said I have saw her.

Shut up.

I have seen her.

A very intelligent lady.

I guess she said they're not teaching you nothing in school.

I'm gonna teach you.

Well, maybe it was me.

And she would also say, Nathan is smarter than you.

Mama, what you uh Nathan Jones is smarter than you.

She recognized the other ladies' little son or smarter than her son.

I tell you, these Hispanics are smarter than the blacks.

They advocate for their people.

But I love my black ones, because I'm black.

Love is not enough.

Something mentally is wrong with them when they watch another people come and make advances.

They look at other people's community.

Mr.

Blake, you're spitting while you're talking.

You just oh, how are you?

84.

Uh-huh.

Well, when you can see that your community one minute.

Well, you can see, stop it.

Tell me one minute, one second.

One minute.

Stop it.

Well, what would if I go over a minute?

Are you gonna drag me out?

You're gonna call the sheriff and to drag me out of handcuffing.

What's wrong with y'all?

What is wrong?

Mr.

Blakemore, they have a mental problem.

Even though they have advanced materially, but they mind is an inflate mentality.

Mr.

Blakemore, but these are educated people.

The miseducation.

The miseducation of the black man.

Something is wrong with us.

Something is mighty wrong here.

Next speaker, Jessica Jackson.

Something is mighty wrong here.

You know, it's amazing how we can clear a room, right?

I mean, that that's amazing.

We could clear a room.

You know what I'm saying?

And it's and it's all behind us standing up for ourselves, standing up for our rights, and standing up for our community.

It's amazing because we've been in these meetings now for over three years.

And so you get to see the dynamics of how things play out.

And it's amazing how the people who are in charge, they really don't pay attention to what you're talking about.

See him on his phone.

They're gonna be talking over there, she talking up there.

You know what I'm saying?

And the only people who get their attention is the 501c3 people that come in here speaking for them.

The people that they didn't pay to come in here and present a certain look, a certain picture.

That's who gets their attention.

But if you are fighting for your rights, manager, if you're calling them to the carpet for anything, this is what you're gonna get.

Now, he's supposed to be talking about what technology.

And I guess the example that he's showing is him playing on the phone to show that technology works.

Contractors.

I guess that's what that means.

Why he just standing here on his phone while you got somebody doing public speaking.

Okay, so technology works because you on your phone.

I get you.

Anyway, the main thing with technology is you all need to pay attention to how they are cheating in the courts by way of technology.

They'll file something electronically and swear up and down that it got sent to you when in fact it did not.

But some type of way by technology, maybe he sees it on his cell phone, and maybe it'll come to him one day if it ever happened to his family.

I've come to realize that that's the disconnect here.

You all so plugged and so crooked that you never have to worry about the things that you do to other people happening to y'all.

Y'all just want to get that backdrop of money that come your way for doing everybody else while you save yourself.

That's what that is, because ain't no way y'all that much until you work.

That when y'all get here in front of the public, you're so important that you got to talk to each other to straighten it out, be on the cell phone and make sure it's right.

Oh, that's theatrics.

30 seconds.

It's all theatrics.

Don't believe it.

Check your technology.

Go to that clerk of the court and tell her to show you no cases.

Tell it to show you the records that's in there by technology, so you can see how they didn't manipulate a court records.

That's why people lose their cases.

That's why people go to jail behind bad court records.

Technology that Zoe Lee is our last speaker, Chairman.

It says to reduce our environmental footprint and promote sustainability.

We encourage everyone to consider alternatives to using paper whenever possible.

And this public Wi-Fi access is terrible.

And it's crazy, and I know why it's terrible, because y'all can continue to play around and change them deeds up there that Jesse White is known to do.

That's why y'all hurried up and put them in the Secretary of State, because y'all gotta keep the corruption going.

Uh y'all don't want to make sure the technology is up to date to modern times because y'all can continue to steal.

Y'all can continue to act like you don't have the paperwork or you don't have that, and even though we have our paperwork, like my mother never never throws anything away.

My godfather never throws anything.

Clearly, Miss Jessica doesn't either.

Um, you know, it's just a thing.

Yeah, I guess maybe also back in the day, like my mother's born in 1949, they didn't have computers and fax machines and stuff like that.

So you gotta keep every paper, right?

So my mother keeps all the papers, my godfather keeps all the papers, tax bills, all of that.

But for some reason, when we bring them down to y'all, well, I don't see it in the system.

Of course you're not gonna see it since you took it out.

If you want the property, you're gonna take it out.

So y'all sit here and act like we are the problem.

Well, we're not the problem.

I'm born 1986, 1986.

I know how to use the social media.

I know how to use the computer, I know how things work.

I also know how to sue.

I've sued private companies and have won with all the evidence.

But for some reason, I have all the evidence, and y'all are paying millions of dollars to not settle my cases because y'all know once I get that money, I can actually help my community understand why we cannot vote for none of y'all.

But it's cool because I'm passionate about my elders understanding that they cannot continue to vote for our own demise.

They cannot continue to hurt the younger generation coming down.

So I'm going, I'm coming up.

So I'm going to make sure that I educate my elders like I educated my godfather who's 82 years old, how I got how I educated my mother, who's 76 years old, 77 years old, and any other elder who understands that something's wrong.

30 seconds.

Because they know it's something wrong.

And because you guys think that you are going to continue to do this corruption, which you're not, I'm going to make sure my generation tells these elders to either hold a vote or never vote blue.

Never again.

It's over.

Because y'all tell you.

Chairman, it's all our speakers.
