Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:00:36 Wake that ass up in the morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. We got Zoe Leigh. Welcome. Did I say your last name right? Lee.
Starting point is 00:00:53 Zoe Leigh. How you feeling? I'm well. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Thanks for coming. Thanks for joining us. You got your folder out.
Starting point is 00:00:59 You got stuff to talk about today. You're not coming to play. There is not too many people I like to watch more on Instagram because, you know, we always have these conversations about you got to be involved, you know, with your local politics. You know, you got to be
Starting point is 00:01:12 on top of your local government. Zoe will be at these city council meetings in Chicago every week. Every week. Raising. Holy hell. Holy hell.
Starting point is 00:01:22 So I want her to talk about all of that. What happened between you and the city of Chicago? The whole city, huh? Yeah, the whole city. So in 2017, the city of Chicago elected officials, the building department, unlawfully demolished my family's property. And that is the violation of the Fifth Amendment. And the city of Chicago manipulates the Fifth Amendment because they say that it really wasn't the Fifth Amendment because you there wasn't a roadway or there wasn't a railroad. So technically it's not that. But then they have demolition laws and demolition laws is you still have to compensate the person. And we have yet to be compensated. Now, for people that, this is all over the country. So to break it down in simple terms,
Starting point is 00:02:11 if you own a property, the city cannot just take your property unless they say they have to build a roadway, a highway, or something like that, or some type of public transportation to get people from left to right, whether it's a train system, subway system, or something like that. But either way, they still got to compensate. But they're not allowed to take a thing. If they do, they're supposed to give you market value
Starting point is 00:02:31 for your property or home. We see it happen all the time. But they didn't give you anything at all. And you're saying there was no subway or highway or train system or nothing like that there. So why did they say they demolished the property? They said building violations. And it's crazy because my mother was um fixing up it's a it's a commercial property at that so it's commercial property at the bottom it's four apartments at the top and my mother was working
Starting point is 00:02:56 on it and how we found out that the building was unlawfully demolished was the electrician he called he said hey miss marsh the building isn't here and my mother called the city they had no information but you only you so you didn't even know they were going to demolish they didn't tell you that they were going to demolish the building they just you just drove by one day and the building wasn't there anymore yeah the the electrician that's crazy and said that it was no longer there so my my mother at the time, she's 73. She's like, no, they're not, you know, they're not supposed to do that. So she went, you know, down the city hall. She spoke to the law department. They really couldn't give her any information.
Starting point is 00:03:37 But one person in the law department told her to go get a police report. So she did go back and get a police report. And then they told her to file a claim. She filed the claim. And they said that the reason why they weren't we weren't paid out was because of building violations. And I said, well, where are the building violations? You have to go to buildings court. You have to go through a whole lot of stuff. You just can't knock down a building. And come to find out, my mother was fighting this by herself. At that time I was managing and I was working doing my own thing and I kept telling my mom I'm like well you know just get a lawyer and in Chicago they have it well you can't
Starting point is 00:04:15 get an attorney you can't get in the black communities what they've what they have done is they prey on black seniors they play on on our on our communities and on buildings and properties that are already paid off so not mortgages and that's what i think a lot of people don't understand you know you own a home but if you're still paying a mortgage or do you really own that home you know these homes have already been paid this this has been in my family since 1965 okay it's a sandpiper lounge it was it was a landmark before that it was fanny may candies you know so there was no so there was no tennis they didn't have to take anybody out the building no no my godfather was living in there
Starting point is 00:04:54 they told him he had 10 minutes to get out and he's 80 christ you know 10 minutes to get out 10 10 minutes to get out and he's 80 now mind you they don't have social media they don't you know um and then at the time the only attorneys that you can get for stuff like eminent domain or um them stealing our properties is two it was two and it was vodoliac ed vodoliac and ed burke now they both have been convicted of um stealing properties like they're both like we're aldermen at the time so chicago has a thing that no matter what you're not gonna get no justice like chicago is one of the most corrupt cities on earth and they put my mother in the hospital twice so i had to leave atlanta put myself in storage and i've been fighting ever since now mind you while i'm
Starting point is 00:05:43 fighting i'm dealing with this immigration invasion that's coming in i have other black seniors that are coming down to city to city council as well because they're stealing their properties too and it's only in certain areas it's in tiff districts now new york is the district district do you understand you know what that is no what's the district it tax increment financing. So they're supposed to give you money in blighted areas, in predominantly black areas. And they're supposed to help you build your community up. But the money-
Starting point is 00:06:13 Give you tax breaks, things like that. They want to encourage more people in the community to invest back in the community. Yeah. And what they're doing is they're taking the money, we call it a piggy bank, and now they're giving it to um predominantly white areas and now hispanic areas and our black areas are not getting anything but
Starting point is 00:06:31 it's in certain areas englewood my property was in auburn grisham south shore south shore is the only black area still in chicago that's by lake michigan everybody know about summertime shot so they're taking our properties. You can't get any help. You can't get any media, you know, and I'm not from Chicago. My mother's from Chicago. My mother left there in 1978 because it was so racist.
Starting point is 00:06:54 I'm from Albany, New York. And I just fight different. You know, when I first started this, everybody was like, oh, you're going to need 100 people. And I'm like, nah, because everybody, it's different times and different generation. Everybody not going to fight like oh, you're going to need 100 people. And I'm like, nah, because everybody, it's different times and different generation. Everybody not going to fight like me, you know. And I've always been that person to question, to challenge.
Starting point is 00:07:11 I know how to read. We have to know our Constitution. A lot of people do not know the U.S. Constitution. You know, the crazy thing is if you had squatters in there, it probably would have took them a lot longer to get it out because a lot of times squatters have more right than the actual homeowners and business owners let me ask you a question i know uh when they said the violations i know a lot of times especially the government what they do is is they'll give you violations like they say you had trash on your property and they'll give you a ticket for that was was that part of the violations things like that um now they're giving us because we still own the land so now they're giving us violations for that no it was um they said it was abandoned it
Starting point is 00:07:45 wasn't abandoned and they do that if the doors are not locked or the windows are broken um basically abandoned that was the main thing they said that one of the doors was messed up it was not messed up um it's just that they wanted that property they wanted that property because it was in a tiff zone and they continue to do this and they do it they prey on seniors yeah i've heard that before what is what is the property worth well what would be the value of the property if it was up and running and everything probably about 10 to 15 million wow and um has to be it would have to be more than that because you would have to also count on the fact that if you had tenants and you had rent yeah especially now with this immigration situation like you know like that's
Starting point is 00:08:25 one thing my mother said like damn if we had the building we'd be able to house because they're giving so much money out you know so um and rent rent is expensive like the fact that the fact that i have to pay rent a month when i have four apartments and a commercial property i have a i have my own brand i'm into comedy i'm in a lot of. I have my own brand. I'm into comedy. I'm into a lot of uncomfortable truth lifestyle. My motto is paper pussy peace. You know? You used to manage Dick Gregory. I used to manage Dick Gregory.
Starting point is 00:08:53 And I just feel like I am, like I'm just not being, I'm being heard, but I'm shadow banned as well. Because at the end of the day day this is a thing that happens in chicago and if i get heard or if you know thank you i appreciate you guys for letting me on this platform because chicago's scared you know um and they're scared because they know this is what they do we have 110 illinois state black representation in Congress and they don't do anything.
Starting point is 00:09:29 And this is a Democratic city. So, you know, when people talk about Democrats, you know, how the democracy and how they care, Chicago different. So what are they saying the building is worth and what are they saying? Are they just saying, well, we just molested F you and your family? What are they saying the building is worth and what are they saying? Are they just saying well we just molested
Starting point is 00:09:46 F you and your family? What are they saying now? They were not under the impression that we owned it. So that is one of the arguments and it's been in a trust the whole time. So they went and got a fraudulent document and said that oh a guy
Starting point is 00:10:02 named Timothy owns it but the person Timothyothy is um the same person that so back in the day when you would get deeds from like it was lasalle bank lasalle bank is now um bank of america um the the um the not they nominate some they nominate somebody and the person who they nominate is usually a bachelor or a widower so they so back then the deeds would have this name on there that the bank nominated so they're trying to use that as this is the person that owned it that's like no we own it is timothy still alive is timothy trying to say he owns it timothy 90 and no no timothy's dead first of all okay that's number one and number two is that's what they used to do back in the day like if you look up how they used to do it so the thing is my mom's 75 my godfather's 80
Starting point is 00:10:51 they're not supposed to you know they just take our properties and they're going to continue to do it if no one does not fight for it and we get some legislation so when you're down there at you know uh these city council meetings are you alone in this fight? Are there other people that's experiencing a legal eminent domain? Yeah, there's a lady named well, she's not experiencing a legal eminent domain. She's experiencing they're trying, her name is Jessica
Starting point is 00:11:16 Jackson. They're trying to take her property through probate court. Now, her mother had no debt. Her mother left a three-family building in South Shore. South Shore is still only one of the places that black people have for the lake. And they're trying to take our property. And that's and she said, you know, that's when that's that has been paid off since she was 16. She's 61. So who's the because, you know, it's it's the somebody behind it. Right. So I'm sure it's some white man that or could be black because that happened to my parents in Brooklyn.
Starting point is 00:11:50 So my parents had a brown son in Brooklyn. My grandfather passed away, left it down to it was like 12 of them. And he finagled his way on the deed and then was almost like part of the kids, part of that process. And I see them do that a lot, especially when they feel like people don't understand,'t know the laws and they get in and then they'll be able to get this script so have you figured out who's behind trying to buy this because somebody seems like they're trying to buy this property it's a white developer and that's what they do the and you know unfortunate it's unfortunate unfortunate but our aldermen um make deals behind our back and for you know paybacks whatever they want to call it and they promise our properties to them and you can't get any help you know my mother we have a federal court case it's sort of it's like pro se um we do have an attorney but you know i'm still
Starting point is 00:12:41 you know skeptical when it comes to him because they pay out like they pay but there's a there's an act called blight property act 1947 1949 and the blighted property act 1947 1949 that a lot of people don't talk about is even if they felt like it was an abandoned building or they felt like it was something wrong with it they're supposed to go to the governor and the governor is supposed to ask the attorney general to eminent domain. And you still have to compensate. They don't do no law like no policies.
Starting point is 00:13:15 And I say this all the time. Chicago policies do not trump the U.S. Constitution. It does not trump federal laws. And that's the problem, I think, with America. Like, we don't understand that the Constitution is for us, of what color we are what can be done now like what can be done right now they can um settle my case um but i know the reason why they won't settle it i feel like is because it'll be a line down at cook county and city hall because they they black people have normalized that this is just what chicago do
Starting point is 00:13:45 chicago just steal property you can't get no help it ain't just chicago you know they were doing that in south carolina doing it detroit yeah atlanta somebody just sent me something in um atlanta they're doing it so it has to be some type of legislation and that's my issue like with this this election that's coming up like we need something as far as black America. I don't know, whatever you guys identify as, because it's like a pronoun situation. If you're a freedman, freedwoman, whatever, you know, ADOS, whatever. But as me, I'm a black American. That's why I'm born and raised here.
Starting point is 00:14:17 My family, you know, that's what I identify as. But there needs to be some type of legislation when it comes to our housing and there's no legislation. So what are they trying to build there now? Because they demolished it. You still own the property. Are they trying to do something? No, they tried to sell it behind our back twice, the land. But we were able to
Starting point is 00:14:37 take care of that. How do they sell it behind your back? Because they play with deeds. So you can go into Cook County right now, right? And you may know the guy and you may find somebody that's a notary and you pay them something and you say, hey.
Starting point is 00:14:51 This person signed a deed over. Yeah. And how much is the property worth right now as it sits? Well, it's no property. It's just land. Well, just the land. How much is the land worth as it sits?
Starting point is 00:15:00 To me, it's $3 billion. I imagine. It's three land. It's land. I need my money. I need, I need, it's $3 billion. I imagine. It's three land. It's land. I need my money. I need, I need, that's my generational wealth. What's the realistic number though?
Starting point is 00:15:11 The realistic number? What's the Zillow number? I think probably about a million. I think land is worth probably about a minimum of a million dollars. Yeah. Yeah, it's big.
Starting point is 00:15:21 First of all, it was 10 lots. They took, they already took six of the lots and only left us with four lots the lots behind us is our lots too but they put a save a lot there so the save a lot should be paying y'all yeah like they this is just what they do they put a they put a and the save a lot's not even there no more they put a business on your property yes they took half the lots and we have a um crazy a parking lot so like i write um save a lot like every month and let them know play with me if you
Starting point is 00:15:51 want to because i'm not playing with y'all like y'all this is this is not what you guys do like this is not i don't know what so i am so confused i i really don't know how people could build on a piece of property that they don't have a deed on chicago do whatever they want to do and it's and it's a cycle like i was talking to somebody the other day she says she's been fighting for her grandmother's property since 1962 i mean it's been her it's been her house since 1962 she's been fighting for 10 years and she says she just gave up this might be a funny question but where's the elected officials right there's no elected officials in that district in stealing money stealing this immigration money jesus like that's that's the problem too we have to change the culture of these politicians because they both trash on both sides you know
Starting point is 00:16:37 the republicans is terrible the democrats is terrible what but the issue with Chicago is Chicago's turned to a communist city. Like it's only Democrats. You cannot even if you want to run as a Republican, you're not going to win. They have it as just Democrats. So what what names can people go at? Because you just can't say the city of Chicago. I got to be particular. Marlene Hopkins, that's the building department we can say her date alderman david moore is the date let's go one by one explain what that person does and how they involve so people understand okay because you got to break it down because a lot of people will be confused like me like how the hell does this even happen okay so we got
Starting point is 00:17:17 marlene hopkins marlene hopkins is now the commissioner of the buildings department she should have been fired when there was this little village explosion back three years ago when she was negligent with that. So what happens is anybody, one of her friends, or I'll say my alderman, Alderman David Moore can call up and say, hey, I need you to put this in for the buildings department. Say that it was building violations. That's why we demolished it.
Starting point is 00:17:44 And people go with that instead of knowing, like have to go to building's court. Now, my mother received a voicemail from the law department and they gave her three options. The first option was that she was supposed that our alderman, which was David Moore, the 17th ward, was supposed to reach out to us and offer us some type of money. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once
Starting point is 00:18:32 we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real inspiring stories from the people you know follow and admire join me every week for post run high it's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all it's light-hearted pretty crazy and very fun listen to post run high on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Conversation. Yeah, conversation. He was supposed to go through the chairman of the city of finance, and at that time, it was Ed Burke. Ed Burke is now convicted. He's 80 years old, now convicted of taking bribes and taking property. Then you have, the next one was file a claim. We filed a claim with the city. Now,
Starting point is 00:19:27 the city said that my mother's claim, it expired and it did not expire. The statute of limitations, the statute of limitations for Illinois for any type of claim is two years. And they told my mom that she didn't get her claim in time they knocked the building down december 11th 2017 right my mother put the claim in october 4th 2018 they were they gave us back a letter december 11 2018 i got everything this this says that the claim was not put in time and that the statute of limitations expired. That's insurance fraud. That's bad faith insurance fraud because my mother put it in.
Starting point is 00:20:10 So then when my mother went to hire a lawyer, they told the lawyer the same thing. And a lawyer put it in on the letterhead like, look, they're saying the statute of limitations has expired. However, you still have time to file a lawsuit. My mother filed a lawsuit. And when my mother filed a lawsuit, they still tried to deny the lawsuit because they said, well, we don't know who owns it. You know who owns it. You know who owns it. So now we're fighting with the ownership part.
Starting point is 00:20:40 Now, they put in a fraudulent deed, but they didn't record it. What they did was they went and got a stamp of the person who was the recorder of deeds at that time. His name was Edward Moody. Edward Moody, he went and got, he got, he was on trial for Steve, for Michael Madigan. Michael Madigan is about to be on trial. He was, they all ain't shit in Chicago. It sounds like it's corruption. It's public corruption. It's just big public corruption.
Starting point is 00:21:10 There's Tony Preckwinkle, who is the Cook County president who needs to retire. And anybody can go up to the second floor, the fifth floor and change our deeds. And you can't get no help. It really seems like big bank take little bank, right?
Starting point is 00:21:27 Because the amount of money I'm hearing that you have to pay attorneys is through the roof. But you said you can't even get an attorney. Yeah, because they don't want to touch this case because this, first of all, you know, the uncomfortable truth is I'm black. You know, my family's black. That's number one.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Number two, number three is, well, number two is, I'm black. You know, my family's black. That's number one. Number two, number three is, well, number two is, Chicago is still one of the most segregated cities in America. And they work with each other. We have no civil rights attorneys. There's no civil rights attorneys. I don't even fuck with Ben Crump. You understand what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:22:01 Like, there's no civil rights attorneys. I reached out to Ben Crump. We don't have, the only time we have civil rights attorneys is if we get killed okay i call it the hashtag package i gotta get killed in order to get a civil rights attorney in order to get some type of compensation and some type of justice and some media i gotta go why do i have to get killed or my family member has to get killed in order for me to find a civil rights attorney and that's the problem our civil rights are being violated on the regular and we cannot find any attorneys so for this election coming up and you've got all
Starting point is 00:22:37 these people that want us to the democrat democrats democrats democrats the democrats is fucking me over in chicago you know we have the most representation in black Democrats and I can't get no help. Even they'll tell us, you know, the alderman stuff. You need to get a lawyer. How the fuck can I get a lawyer? There's there's a civil rights attorney, Matt Martin. He is an alderman. You are a civil rights attorney.
Starting point is 00:23:00 You see me coming in there every week. Isn't that a conflict of interest? It doesn't matter you can find somebody yeah yeah you know you're like like it's just it's just messed up like you're hearing this you're hearing this but you're fighting for affordable housing like how do you fight for affordable housing as a as a civil rights attorney as an alderman as a public servant right but you see three people coming down there about their properties for a year and you have nothing to say. How can people help you if they want to get in touch with you?
Starting point is 00:23:30 Let's say they want to help. Let's say there is a way they know a civil attorney. Maybe there's a real estate attorney that can help you. How can people help you? Or even financially say, look, I want to throw some money in your thing to make support because this is going to be a long fight. It's going to be a costly fight. How can they help you i have a brand y'all can purchase a shirt i'm comfortable truth lifestyle dot com um my instagram is mr steal your wig at gmail.com and i have um my mother has a non-profit it's um notre dame affordable housing and it's n d a h i n c dot com online um and she just really wants to build her building back like until this is settled because we've been waiting over 120 days i i argue this case november 1st i was able to to argue this case to the judge and the judge was so surprised
Starting point is 00:24:24 you know because i'm not a lawyer but but this, I know how to read. I know how to comprehend. And I know that this is not what's up. And I know that there's too much money out here in the government, in America, our taxpaying dollar, that I have to continue to fight and not get no justice. You know, it's also interesting too, cause, um, uh, you know, interesting too, because I follow you and I saw not just this fight, but what you've been saying about the migrants. Yeah, the migrants, they spent too,
Starting point is 00:24:52 like I know Dr. Umar was here and he was saying that they spent over 400 million. No, they spent 2.2 billion. And I have it, like I got all of it. Like I have been keeping like the records, like it's $2.2 billion dollars and i was saying all of this back in january because of activists like zone but also because of who we talk to here in new york what we see in new york going on and when i'm bringing up these issues people say it
Starting point is 00:25:16 was maga messaging it's not maga messaging no black people in this in this no we are at a like honestly like like all jokes aside we are at a race of emergency when it comes to black america whatever you call yourself because i don't that's another argue to the moors and stuff they want i don't want to argue with y'all but whoever didn't black people we are at a race of emergency when it comes to these immigrants and that's just what it is we we give our vote and i'm just saying i'm not saying vote for whoever you want to vote, but we continue to vote blue and we do not get anything. We just watch George Floyd get killed in front of us. We just watch Sonia Massey as an Illinois just get killed in front of us.
Starting point is 00:25:58 And we still do not have a hate crime bill. Now, the Asians then got a hate crime bill during COVID. OK, the Jews, anti- hate crime bill during COVID. Okay? The Jews, anti-Semitism, they just got a, they just, that just passed through Congress. So how many times do we have to get killed to get some type of legislation? But we continue to vote blue, and if we don't vote, it's turned to a cult. I'm 38
Starting point is 00:26:18 years old, right? And I have common sense. And I think this is the election of common sense. Okay? We just watch, we have, I'm'm watching our I'm going to these meetings. Right. Finance meeting is very important. The budget meeting is very important. Housing and real estate is very important in your local your local states. And you're watching all this money being passed. Right. You're watching. All this money being passed for housing for for for resources they're using
Starting point is 00:26:47 our statistics like we're the highest and everything shooting we even get hit by bicycles like how the fuck bicycles like you know what i'm saying like you we're we're for everything right so you get this money and then none of it goes to our community where's the money at where's the audits where's irs criminal division like there was in 1984 in chicago there was something called operation gray lord operation gray lord is when they went and got they picked up judges they picked up police officers lawyers all that for all the corruption right and it needs to be another operation gray lord but this time with the city and but the IRS, the IRS was involved. The feds were involved because IRS criminal division needs to be involved because there's too many people sleeping on the street.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Migrants as well for you to have two point two billion dollars, you're spending seven hundred thousand dollars a month. I mean, seven hundred thousand dollars a day on shelters where is this money at you're dumping these undocumented immigrants in our communities that are already under resourced you're pushing us out there's been mass illegal evictions right and they're not even putting that online they're not even putting that on the news because they get more money with the illegals you know so like we're messed up and this is our election so like my thing is people say oh you know uh trump is racist uh uh the republicans are racist well let's get into the democratic party like when the last time y'all really did something for us like when i talk even
Starting point is 00:28:17 about crack epidemic every person that was that the family member or or a main guardian was on crack every child should have been able to go to school for free like that messed us up we prevailed we prevailed slavery the race riots jim crow uh crack epidemic mass incarceration now we're dealing with illegal invade illegal immigrants y'all have all this money? You know, and they go back and forth. Well, it was a Republican. It's a Democrat. Well, at the end of the day, you know, Kamala, like, there was an executive order. Executive order 14010. That was issued by President Biden,
Starting point is 00:28:55 but she was supposed to oversee when it came to these immigrants coming over here from South America and stuff like that. And I understand you're the vice president.
