He don't even sit the same no more. He's sitting there.

Come on. All right. Hold on. Other way. You are? You know? Yes, sir. It's a vibe. Yup. It's appropriate. It's a different feeling.

It is. And look, between the two hats, he sat different between both of them. It just really ain't nothing you can tell me right now. Bro, you're going to have the host, man.

That's all right. That's all right. Yeah. It's a vibe. Hey man, welcome back to the black market. Yeah. Yeah. Never mind.

You know, it's a lot of things I love. And Atlanta is one of them. And then when I saw this, it says, Atlanta deserves a leader who cares for all of his citizens. And then I saw the hat. And then I said, you know what?

I believe them. We got to have them on the show. Because if anybody's going to run for any type of office with this kind of hat on, they got to be good people, man. Come on now. Do the honors.

Listen, thank you for having me, brother. Thank you for having me. My name is Alfred Schiavee Brooks. Man, I'm a school teacher by day. Former Freestyle Friday Hall of Famer for 106 in part. Looking to make sure that we bring hip-hop culture, that we bring the voice of young people to city council. It's time for Atlanta to have representation

that is reflective of the young people that make Atlanta what it is. is. Are you ready to be that for us? Absolutely. Look, I went to school. I graduated from the Andrew Young School of Public Policy at Georgia State, which, by the way, is ranked over Harvard.

Graduated top 10% of my class. Worked as a legislative aide. Work for Department of Behavioral Health and Development of Disabilities. On top of being a hip-hop head, on top of being a father, a homeowner, a business owner, an influencer in the education space. Now, it's time for us to have influence on policy because we did a lot of lot of marching for the last year, fighting for social justice. We did a lot of marching talking about needing police reform and these type of things,

but the people who are in office don't have a political will to do the right thing. So now it's our time. Now it's our time. It is our time. And what is it going to take for it to be our time? Listen, we got 36,000 young people that are registered to vote. But the problem is that young people don't get engaged. And I think it has a lot to do with the fact that.

People who run for office, they don't look like us. They don't sound like us. They don't talk like us, and they don't talk for us. So we get disengaged. So people like yourself, having platforms like you have, giving us the space to share and tap in with young people. This is how we get them inspired. This is how we get them activated.

We go out and we vote for presidential elections, but when it's the local election, and I'm talking about this is stuff we feel, right? Like in Atlanta, for example, marijuana is decriminalized. But the person I'm running, against, believes that marijuana is the reason that the rest of America thinks we saw on crime, and it's the reason why

crime goes up. But ever since they decriminalize marijuana, it's been hard to find good weed. Them white people might know exactly what they're talking about, man. Since they decriminalize it, like all the drug dealers move to something.

It's time for us, honestly, man, it's time for us to legalize it throughout the state though. Yeah. It's time for us. See, that's the type of shit that you talk that gets you elected, man. So what's the process into getting you into the Atlanta City Council? What we need to do

as a community? As a community, this is the real, right? These elections are not free. They're not free. It takes a lot of money to be able to send out mail or send out those text messages that get on your nerves, right? They get you up, though, right? So we need to be able to get some funding

behind this campaign. We need the influencers of Atlanta to not be on the sidelines and be complaining about stuff, but actually activate to push what we're trying to do. We need them really to get behind this campaign and help this thing go off the way we need it to. Right now, though, I got like six people in my race, but I'm right one or two throughout the entire city. Like, we definitely are resonating with the people, and ain't nobody working harder than me. Well, we're going to get this shit out immediately, though.

Let's go. This is one of those ones where we have to handle with a sense of urgency, because you seem to be sincere and have the people's these at heart. And we're going to need some more of these hats. Yes. I think if it was more of these hats available to the young men in the city of Atlanta, it'd be a lot more cool shit going on. Imagine that.

In 2020, a group of young woman in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI-fueled nightmare. Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with... someone else's body parts on my body parts that looked exactly like my own. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream.

It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting this series took us through the darkest corners of the internet and to the front lines of a global battle against deep fake pornography. This should be illegal, but what is this? This is a story about a technology that's moving faster than the law and about vigilantes trying to stem the tide. I'm Margie Murphy. And I'm Olivia Carval.

Imagine that. And those hats came from a black hat, right here in the city. Shout out to Fewish and Hat Company and my brother Stan Zelenham. Yeah. And then some people are going to watch this and be like, why does everything have to be black?

Because we don't have enough shit. We need to know where our people are and what they're doing and how we can help them. And that's exactly why we created this platform. If there's anything I could do to help my man get elected to the Atlanta City Council and I know he's going to be in there

represent my interest with this kind of shit on I want him in there Is that an official endorsement right there? Hell yeah This hatch I would love to see you down there I want you to be on the state legislature

some shit We gotta get you in the door man We'll start at city council That's how it starts Then we're taking over state Then we're going with some You know, we're going all way up to the Supreme Court with these hats home.

What claim is? A million deep. Yeah. With Steve Harvey suits. The new ones, the new ones, not the old ones. Not the band you. No, these new ones, the new ones. Not the new ones, the new ones, girl.

How long you've been out campaigning? Man, listen, we have, to be honest with you, I've been doing the work before running for office. Okay. Right? After the killing of the, George Floyd, right? Ten days later, one o'clock in the morning, I get the phone call that someone that got a shot in the drive-thru at the Wendy's. And that folks were going

berserk about what was going on. They were. They were, rightfully so. But the reason why I was called is because they know that people in the community trust me. They know that people in the community will listen when I try to bring some calm and make some common sense about it. But I've been fighting to get real police reform in Atlanta for over the past year. I started marching in Atlanta in 1991 with my dad at the Rodden King. So I've always been about doing this work. We started running like hard on this campaign,

announced this campaign in March of this year. Shout out to my sister, Mina. We've been outside every single day with volunteers throughout the city knocking doors, meeting voters, you know, being at every rally that we could. Early this morning, I was out fighting to keep the encampment that our homeless neighbors

had outside by the church over by the Capitol as the Atlanta Police Department gets ordered to come out and pull up their tents and their property and throw it all away. So before I came to you to come do this, I'm outside fighting for the most vulnerable people in our community. And that's what I'm going to do, whether I'm elected, God forbid, if I am not successful in this campaign, I'm always going to be doing this work because, you know, that's the most Christ-like thing I could do.

Right. What's the website that they can reach out? My website is Brooks, B-R-O-O-K-S-4-F-R-R-A. ATL.com, Brokes for ATL.com. We need people to volunteer to help us make phone calls, volunteer to knock doors. We need people to donate $10, $20. The most you can do is $2,800. Max out.

Help us out. Because if we do that, I promise you, I'm going to do my part. And we're going to make sure that our voices are heard. Oh, shit, there you have it. J-O-W-N. Play something, man. This is the campaign. City Council, man.

You think you can really be down there? Like, you think that's going to be a problem? It's a lot of old people down there. You know, the tide is changing, bro. We got six seats that are going, it's going to have new people in city council. And I'm not the only young, forward-thinking person running for office right now.

Like, we, it's a family of us who've been on the front lines together that are all like, all like, all right, boom, you run that seat. Shout out, who you're talking about? Look, shout out my brother, Devin Barrington Ward. Okay, bet.

Shout out, uh. Shout out Lillianna and Katie Kissel running out of five, right? Shout out, uh, Roheelio and Larry Carter. All right, man. Roelio, that's a cold name. Yeah. I know he got a hat like this.

Roelho! Roelio, right? You know, like, there are young people throughout the city who are running for office, and I think now it's just, it's that time. You know, it's more millennials and Gen Z than there are any other age group in America. It's more of us.

Right. And so, you know, the thing, is, is that our average politician is like 65. That's the problem. That's the problem. Old-ass white folks. They ruin everything, bro. Yeah, and it's people, but in a city like Atlanta,

there's people who look like us that create policies and laws that are the most harmful to us. That's because they only got half of the information. They don't be out here like that. It's true. We got to touch. You've got to really be among people, and we do too much about people without people.

Right. I want you to get elected, and don't forget about traffic when you get elected. Traffic needs to be addressed. Traffic in the city of it. Right. People need to go to work

at like 10 o'clock in the morning because we got to like change the schedule. The problem, man, we got so many different issues why that's the case, though, but a lot of it has to do with, like, our public transportation system is more inconvenient than it is, like, helpful. Right.

You know what I'm saying? And the potholes, too. A lot of traffic results are people trying to swerve potholes. Facts. That's a fact. That's a fact. But imagine, though, like,

Honestly, like, if people could do their work on the way to work, taking public transportation. Just saying, man. It's time to update it. But yeah, the pothos, the rolls are raggedy. Yeah. The infrastructure. I live in South East Atlanta, you go in the boulevard. It's like riding on gravel, bro.

It's trash. No. It's trash. I've seen a dude take his rims off. Just said, fuck it. Yes. Put some big ass. Cool, I know you don't bend some rims.

Put some big ass SUV tires on it. You know, like the police rims just. No, that's a fact. What do you think, though, from your opinion, what do you think is the most important thing going on in the city that we should be focused on? The most important thing that's going on in the city, it's a lot of disruption.

They're trying to displace people, and that's why it's so much tension. Like, Atlanta's growing so fast and the people who's not willing to accept the change of being forced out. Yeah. You get what I'm saying? Like, it's driving out.

A whole lot of the things that make Atlanta, Atlanta, was the piece in the car. But now it's so much bullshit. You get what I'm saying? In 2020, a group of young woman in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI-fueled nightmare. Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked.

Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body parts that looked exactly like my own. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York.

I hope you'll join me and my extraordinary guests for this new season of Family Secrets. Listen to Family Secrets Season 12 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. I don't know. I think right now, man, we are, at a place where Atlanta is not going to be Atlanta anymore if we are not intentional about what we do right now. Right. Plain and simple. Like, I think right now, like, we got folks, you know,

running around using crime, right? Just the overarching word crime to try to win votes, to scare people, to change. Yeah, that's the thing about it. They're trying to make Atlanta sound way worse than it actually is. Oh, it's not. That's the thing, though, right? So, like, first off, like, y'all know we got the weather.

I ain't going to name the blog. but they're out there that every time somebody see a car window get broken into or whatever, they put it up on the store and they're trying to make it seem like, yeah, but that are happening anywhere. The numbers are lower than they have been

for the last 10 years right now when it come to auto theft, when it comes to car break-ins and all the things, and 60% of the car break-ins are auto theft is when people leave their keys in the car. Right. Most of this stuff is preventable. Most of the gun crime that's occurring right now

is with stolen firearms that have been stolen out of vehicles. Right. Like, it's just some common sense things that we could do. Like, listen, I'm, I'm, all four gun rights. I own several firearms, right? Yeah. But when you leave your vehicle, don't leave it in the armrests and under the seat.

Lock it in the trunk. Lock it in the glove compartment. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's just common sense things that we need to start taking responsibility for that will titrate, stymie off a lot of the stuff that we deal with. Right. Plain and simple. We want to make it safer. We got to do our part too. Right. There's a lot of that going on. But, you know, that's the city that, those are the things that happen in the city that make it city? It's a major city, man. Exactly. It's a major city but we also got to make sure that it's a city

where we don't criminalize blackness. We don't criminalize You put it perfectly when you asked me what I thought it was that's what I know it is. Criminalizing blackness. Yeah, man. Because I don't think the people who, like you said, that are in the

position to make decisions, understand exactly what Atlanta is right now. Yeah. And it's like since the world shut down it's like the importance of this place because it never lost this freedom you know what I'm saying

like even during the quarantine it still was a certain level of doing our thing doing yeah yeah but also look the governor of Georgia basically made Atlanta the playground for America for a long time right you know what I'm saying and I think there was

some there's some dangers in that as well but right you know Atlanta is supposed to be like a safe haven for blackness and black culture. Yeah, because this is a very given city. Correct. Yeah. Correct. We're supposed to be the city that's too busy to hate. Exactly.

We're supposed to be. And we're supposed to be the city that has young forward-thinking progressives in the city council and in these positions to help us get our voices across. Yeah. I think... So we don't lose the essence. At some point, even when folks get into

office, I think we do a disservice when we stay in office until we die in office. Right. And I think too often that happens. A person I'm running against, been in office since 1994. Right. We don't know them. It's folks watching this show right now.

It wasn't even boring yet. Right. Since that person. And they definitely ain't going to vote for them. No. But if they vote at all. So that's the part that we got to do better on. Right.

We can't complain we're not getting police reformed, but don't vote. We can't complain that Atlanta's getting unaffordable and don't vote. Like we can't complain about these things but not put people in the position who actually want to do the work. Right. Well, you got to do your part, too. Yep. Because if you win this shit, I want you to wear the biggest hat that you can fucking... And some...

And we're going to get a grill. We're going to holl at my boy Grills by Scotty and I already hollered out of right. Scotty A-TL. We're going to get a grill. You know what I'm saying? So check this out. I'm going to holliputter. I'm going to get a shirt, right?

When is the election? The election. So early voting starts October 12. Early voting starts October 12th. That's less than 50 days away. Well, do me a favor, man. You got to come back before. then. Let's do that.

I need you to get in here and I want you to come back and use this platform because we have a lot of followers that are catching on to the black market who are interested in making a change and just knowing that it's somebody who can reach out and connect to some stuff like

this that's bringing some, you know that's bringing hip hop but it's still a certain level of seriousness that's approached about it. I think they're going to be able to respect it. I love that. And you're a cool brother. Thank you. success and these hats are fly as hell.

Come on. Hey, man. This is the Black Market, man. Shilly. Hey. You in there, bro. Hey, man. Look, with your help, we're going to make this a definite. I know a few people. Thank you. We can make a few calls. We need them. We need them. Much love, bro. Let's get it. That's it. That's it. Black Market. We out of here. Hey!
